The Probate Court. The will of Michael Ahern, late of Nininger, was admitted to probate on Saturday, Mrs. Mary Ahern being /appointed executrix. The final accounts of C. A. Hanson, administrator of Robert Rawle. late of this city, and of Miss Ellis- E. Ryan, administratrix of her deceased father, Dennis Ryan, late of West St. Paul, were examined and allowed yesterday, with decrees assigning estates to heirs. Cost of Normal Schools, The action of the state normal board as to the charges made by Prof. Freeman against the manage- ment of the Winona normal school was discounted beforehand. It sustain- ed President Shepard and Director Morey. But in approving the estimates for additional appropriations submit- ted by the several directors the public had no data upon which to form an advance opinion, and it will be sur- prised to learn that the board approv- ed these estimates and ordered their recommendation to the legislature. They aggregate $167,200. When it is considered that these are additional demands over and above the perma- nent appropriations of $103,356 per annum for the current or running ex- penses of the schools, some idea can be formed of the fast growing condi- tions of these pets of the state. The requests or estimates of the several directors for extra sums of money are as follows: W INO N A. New buildings Repairs, furniture, etc. Continuous sessions ,.... $40,000 5,500 13,000 Total Deficit MANKATO. Repairs, etc Increase current expenses.., Continuous sessions $58,500 $ 2,500 5,200 3,000 6,000 Total 816.700 ST. CLOUD. Deficits, New buildings Repairs, etc • Increase current expenses \Continuous sessions $17,500 20,000 6,000 3.000 3,000 Total. $49,500 Moosik aD. New buildings $32,000 Repairs, etc 2,500 Increase current expenses 3,000 Continuous sessions *6,000 Total. 542,500 Grand total $167,200 This statement does not include the demands that will be made by Duluth for buildings to begin the new school at that place, which will probably be not less than $100,000. The report of the state auditor for 1896 shows that the support of these schools, since the first establishment in 1861, has amounted up to 1896 to the sum of $1,354,843.94 The cost of their buildings has been $555,895.94, mak- ing a total of $1,910,7n.88,to which must be added upwards of $200,000 expended fortheir support during the last, two years, since the auditor's last published report, which swells the aggregate to $2,110,739.88 It will be seen, therefore, that the so-called training of teachers is costing the tax- payers of the state a large sum of money. It is observed that thea deficiencies in several of the schools are Large, especially at St. Cloud and Winona. W hen it is taken into consideration that the statutes prohibit officers of the state who have the disbursement of public mon* from eontractiug debts in excess of the appropriations made for the particular object, and 1>Siakes a violation a misdemeanor fishable by fine, it would appear that the directors at those schools do not pay much attention to such pro- hibition and do not seem to fear.pros- ecution. The fact is that this has been practiced so long and so regular- ly that the officers have come to con- sider the prohibitive law as obsolete and inoperative. We are pleased to note that Resident Director Com- stock, of Moorhead, is an exception and reports no deficit. Is it not about time that a check was put upon the biennial increase of this service? The original scope of the schools is all right and stipport under tlfttt scope would not be an unbearable burden; but this constant extension of the original purpose and assumption of academical features calls every two years for an immense increase of the cost of their support and for new buildings, repairs, and furnishings. When it is borne in mind that all the people are taxed for the money going into these. schools and that only a small portion of the people can share in their benefits, it will be seen that this is unjust and unequal taxation. Each community raises the money to support its own district, graded, and high schools, aside from what is de- rived from the permanent school fund, the bounty of the national government. ATot so with the normal schools, which are supported by general taxation. —Moorhead News.

Fred Moser, an employe of the Gardner Mill, was accidentally caught on the shaft of a wheat scourer on the third floor Tuesday afternoon, receiving injuries which terminated in death about half past ten that night.

He was a son of Mrs. Lesetta Moser, aged seventeen years, and a steady, industrious boy. The sympathies of the community are ex- tended to the bereaved relatives in their great affliction.

Here has been his home ever since, where he had many warm friends and neighbors, a strictly temperate man all th ugh his long life, and a mem of the Empii'e Presbyterian urch. Mr. Whittier has been in poor health for the past ten years. Since his wife died, ever a year ago, he had grad- ually failed in strength until the 3J. ult.. when he took to Itis bed and lived but four days after, falling into a deep sleep to awaken among his friends passed on before on that brighter• shore. Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Baleh have kindly cared for him in his enfeebled health since the loss of his wife, and his son and daughter were with him in his last short sick- ness. Mr. Whittier leaves behind to mourn the loss of an indulgent father a son and a daughter, six grand- children, and four great grand children, besides ,four brothers and two sisters, A. Whittier, Mrs. Abell, and Mrs. Kelley, of Farmington, Moses and Gilbert Whittier, of Min- neapolis, and Elkanah Whittier, of Grafton, N. H.

You are perhaps aware that pneumonia always results from a cold or from an at- tack of la grippe. During the epidemic of la grippe a few years ago when so many cases resulted in pneumonia, it was observed that the attack was never ,fol- lowed by that disease when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used. It counteracts any tendency of a cold or la grippe to re- sult in that dangerous disease. It is the best remedy in the world for bad colds and la grippe. Every bottle warranted. For sale by J. G.

The method adop ed by a rustic look- ing individual vont the loss of his hat and coat a dining furnished the patrons of a arket street defe with much amusement yesterday. The stran- ger meandered leisurely into the place during the busy lunch hour and made his way to the nearest vacant chair. Producing several yards of twine from his pocket, he removed his bat and passed the sting once around the crown, making it fast with a double knot. This, of cd'urse, caused a number of diners to suspend hostilities in order better to observe the nett move, but the careful stranger appeared oblivious to the sensation -he was creating. Taking off his coat, he passed the loose en3"io the string through one sleeve, and, after securing the end to his wrist, hung bat and coat on the rack.

Tod Sloane's gameness will never be questioned by those who saw him win a race on Walter in a nose finish at the old East St. Louis track some years ago. After the race Tod was hardly able to dismount. Then it was learned that he had broken tin ar» hi the raoe. It seems that he was crowded against the fenoe in a jam around one of the tarns and broke his arm. Switching ,the reins to his good --awn, be rode the race out with great determination, putting up a "Garrison finish" and *inning on the post by the narrowest possible margin. It was an exhibition of gameness the like of which was never before heard of in the history of the American turf. - Chicago Record. Rough ou the Solon..

By his semiromantic igarb, long curling locks and_ a certain "delicate refinement of feature he seemed to be an artist. His manner was at once earnest and deferential. Even while he watched he bent his shapely figure in an attitude indicative of deep respect. At the farther end of the room the princess halted, but remained standing with ber back still turned toward the man. Was she expecting him to speak? "Your highness," he began, evident- ly interpreting hermapner in that way, "I ant fully aware of the liberty I am taking—a liberty too great to be par - cloned by you unless the sentiments which I have perhaps too rashly avowed should find some kindred response in your own heart"— "Enough, sir!" interrupted the prin- cess, turning suddenly.

"Oh, princess," he urged, "be mine What is life without love? ,We can fly, leave this country, and in some more favored place live out our lives to- gether." "No, no, no!" she faltered. "I can- not, I dare not"— A loud commanding voice from some unseen person without interrupted her. " Where is the princess? Bid her high- ness attend me at once." "My father!" gasped the now thor oughly frightened young woman. "We will be discovered. Oh, why did I per mit you to have this interview?" "Because you love me," declared the artist, rendered reckless by the over- whelming 'power of passion and im- minent dread of instant exposure. "Let the king come. I care not for my own poor life. If I may not share with "the woman I love, then welcome death." "You say the princess is engaged," said the same commanding voice in re- ply to some hurried remonstrance, ut- tered in low, feminine tones. "Ridicu- lous! I know of no engagement that should make oeiraewn pleasure wait on her convenience. Stand aside, minion! We will see for ourself what keeps her waiting." Other feminine tones were heard in- effectually pleading, but the king's voice dominated all. Ar heavy ap- proaching tread was now audible. The princess turned very pale. She clung to the artist, pushing him weakly. "Fly, fly!" she panted. "If you love me, fly fir yonr life"— A portly figure in royal robes now strode into the room. The princess screamed, then collapsed gracefully. Her lover's ready arms received her fainting figure and a dramatic tableau was presented to the eyes of the aston- ished monarch, who at first glared an- grily, while the artist, fairly driven to bay, regarded the royal scowl unflinch- ingly. Suddenly a broad grin overspread the king's countenance. He flung aside his crown and robe, while the princess, without effort, came immediately out of her swoon and assumed au air of jaunty equanimity. "A good scene, a 4good scene!" com- mented his majesty.

What the lof3t sense was no one knows, and probably no one will ever know, but that our forefathers possessed it there is no doubt, for the remains of that part of the brain in which it resid- ed are still to be seen in any one of us. These remains are simply a small and now perfectly useless little mass of brain subonce called the pituitary body. It consists of two tiny little oval lobes joined together and lying in y g a little cavity, of the skull, strangely named the sella turcica and situated over and behind the nose. It is quite possible that it may have enabled our forefathers to see in the dark before lamps and candles were in- vented, or it may have placed them in communion with ghosts and fairies, or it may have been an organ that enabled them to go home in a bee line when they lost their way in the primeval forests. On thother hand, it is possible that it was a bad substitute for vision or smell or hearing and died out when the improved sense organ developed. Bishop Buffalo Bill. A rather good story is told about Bishop Doane and another member of the Episcopal house of bishops from the middle states, who is fond of a joke, as many of the venerable gentlemen of the church are. Bishop Doane addresses his colleagues with whom he is on especial- ly familiar terms by the name of their diocese instead of by their surnames, and in correspondence frequently makes use of his own and other titles, relates the Washington Times. It is related that on one occasion he wrote a letter to the other bishop refer- red to and in signing it used the term " William of Albany" instead of his name. His correspondent promptly re- plied to the letter, and in his answer said: "It is really too bad, bishop, that yon are not of the western diocese of your state instead of Albany. If you were, you might very appropriately sign yourself 'Buffalo Bill.' " A Strong Combination.

SELFISHNESS. A Beautiful( Specimen of Work lira& low It Was Done. Dr. R W. Shufeldt says that he spent several days and evenings stwdying crayfish and their burrows near Wash- ington. He made a fine photograph of a beautiful specimen of the work which its reproduced by Popular Science. This chimney was 9,V., inches in height, very smooth inside and with the pellets dis- tinctly individualized outside. Many of the latter were piled up about the base and 42 of them • bad tilled out be- yond the base. It was erected on level ground with a firm turf and about ten feet from a small stream. As to the manner of ilding, Mr. J. De B. Abbott gives or' account as cited by Faxon. The cr fish is seen to emerge partially from it burrow, bear - tire CRAYFISH CHIMNEY. 'Mg on the back of its right claw a ball of clay znud, which, by a dexterous tilt of the claw, was placed on the rim of the chimney. Then the crayfish re- mained perfectly quiet for a few sec- onds when it suddenly doubled up and then dropped to the bottom of its bur- row. There elapsed some three or four minutes between each appearance, but every time it came it brought a ball of clay and deposited it in the manner do - scribed. About two-fifthe of the balls were not placed with sufficient care and rolled down theoutsir?e of the chimney. Tropical Dirc-::sea. The discussions which have lately been carried on by medical writers on the acclimatization of white settlers in the tropics seem to show that beat and moisture are not to be regarded as in themselves the direct cause of any im- portant tropical disease. It is ascertain- ed that the direct causes, in fact, of 99 per cent of such diseases are germs, the great scientific desideratum being, of course, an accurate knowledge of these germs and their habits. The fact that most micro parasites, when once in the body, aro fairly safe is well known, but these same parasites, in order that their respective species may keep in existence by spreading from one host to another, necessarily at some time or another leave the human body, and during this extra corporeal state they are eminently vuluere ble, to kill them being therefore simply a matter of knowledge and the proper application of such knowledge or, ir. other ,vers:c-, t3aaitary acienee and sanitation. in regard to the degenera- tive influences of such hot climates upon the descendants of those who become acclimated, it is admitted that in some parts of the tropics, as, for instance, in portions of India, the climate does cause a deterioration of stamina. It is a Question, however, whether it is the heat alone that works this change or whether there are certain as yet unap- preciated telluric influences which are responsible for the loss in question.— New Y6rk Tribune, Best Color Por Soldiers' Uniforms. Scarlet, it bas always been supposed, was the worst color possible for the purposes of the battlefield. It has been said so with such frequency indeed that nobody of late years has cared to die- puto .the fact. We owe it to some very practical experiments carried out in Germany that the question has now been put on a mare satisfactory basis. A squad of ten men, two dressed in light gray, two in dark gray, two in scarlet, two in- blue and two in green were lately ordered to march across an opeu country. Their movements were closely watched. The first men to dis- appear were those in lig t gray, imme- diately afterward the \varlet, then the darkgrayand finale �h blue y fi b ue and green. Here we have all the well worn theories upset. Experiments carried out on the rifle range showed that the Brit- ish color possesses even distinct merits. The idea was this time to ascertain which color gave the worst mark for the rifle. Twenty men, all good shots, were used for the purposes of the experi- ment. • After they had fired a given number of rounds it was discovered that scarlet was far the most difficult color to bit. For every miss at the other 6o1 - ors there were three in favor of scarlet. -Popular Science. Typhoid and Malaria Germs. It has been asserted that the germs of typhoid fever and malarial fever are antagonisttjo to each other and cannot exist together. Examinations recently made at the clinical laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania tend to up- set this theory. In cases of two soldier patients the germs of both typhoid and malaria were found not only existing, but thriving together. The theory is now advanced that the possible cause of s the severity of the illness of some of the soldiers in certain camps was the pres- ence 1 of the germs of both these diseases in their systems. ' We NeltrIVAIways Discover It In Others. but Never In Ourselves. Probably the most insidious of all the faults is that upon the absence of which we most pride ourselves, and that at the same time we notice most 'readily others. In some of us it is pride, in others gossiping. The list is long, and we know it without going into details, but that which we do not seem to real- ize is that the very most common fault of us all as a mass is selfishness. We do know that nearly every one we meet is selfish, but we seldom die - rover how selfish we are ourselves un- less shown by a sudden touch of deep regret. Most of ns discover, for in- stance, that we were selfish in refer - once to some dear friend dead, but we stop right there, and while we regret the past and shed useless tears over the lost chance we do not make any new discoveries—namely, that we are selfish to our living friends—and while we think that they are being unfair, un- kind, to us we forget to be . generous ourselves, to look beyond the frown, the hard word, the selfish act or neglect, and see what it is that causes all this, to see what strain our friend is bearing and share it in so far as patience, gener- ous forbearance, will Jighten it. Think how selfish most of us have been in time gone by, how quick words have gone out to hurt hearts already hurt, when from us atnleaet that partic- ular Dross friend bad a right to hope for better things. Do not make a very close examina- tion of things in general and see whether you are not yourself more selfish than are your friends, and remember that the greatest generosity in this world is to have patience with others in their "selfishness," for in half the cases at least it ie pain or worry, not real in- tended unkindness at all.—Philadelphia Times. OUR JAWS NEED EXERCISE. Lack of Mastication Causes Dyspep- sia and Teeth Troubles. Mastication is rapidli, becoming a lost art, and, although we have become hardened tp the fact that three-fourths of tLe dyrpepsia is due to this cause, it lnight su{prise some of us to know that the early decay of the teeth and diseases of the gams are oocaeioned by this same lack of maxillary exercise. A disease of the gums, called Rigg's disease, which is every day becoming more commou, is caused almost entirely by the want of proper mastication. Twenty five years ago this trouble was not considered of any importance by the dentist on account of its rare occur- rence. Today it is given more care than the decay of the teeth, as he is frequently consulted by patients who have a full set of natural teeth which are quite loose in the jaw. Aside from this they are sound and healthy, and after a certain development in the disease nothing can be done to help them. By lack of exercise the blood which should nourish both the bones and the gums is not carried to the part, nor does the blood carry sufficient material to the teeth; hence the enamel formed is de- fective, and early decay results. Fre- quently, too, the mechanical develop- ment of the jaw is arrested by this same want of motion. Most of the food among the better class of people today is cooked so as to require very little mastication, and the consequence is that the muscles have become flabby, the jaws slender and the processes for the attachment- of the muscles almost J)bliterated.—Boston Globe. /" Effect o1 Lime on the System. A medical scientist is authority for the statement that children. and old people especially suffer from a lack of lime in the system. Persons who habit- ually drink soft water, while they may enjoy immunity from pertain of the ills of life, expose themselves to others per- haps quite as mach to be avoided. Hard water helps the teeth and the bones by furnishing lime, which is necessary to healthgrowth and development. p eat. Old persons who think but little lose their teeth more quickly than those who take a reasonable amount of drinking water. Lime, or food products in which it abounds, should be a part of the regu- lar supply furnished to the system. One of the most valuable vegetables for this -purpose is the yellow turnip or ruta baga, which should be given to growing children at least once a week. Properly prepared, it is very relishable and its food value has never been appre-• oiated. Corn Oil. Some of the manufacturers of glucose in Chicago have turned their attention to the production of corn oil—an arti- cle extracted by pressure from the germ of the grain by a method similar to that ased in the manufacture of linseed oil, leaving a residuum not unlike in its character the oiloake of commerce. It seems that in the production of glu- cose it was a matter of necessity first to extract the germ, this, for a long time, involving a waste. As against this, a company now turns out some 350 barrels of corn oil per day. Most of the oil goes to England for soapmaking. It is shipped in secondhand oil barrels, each of a weight, when filled, of 400 pounds, rated at the factory at 8 cents per pound. Some of the oil is used in this country principally in mixing cheap paint and for adulterating lin- eed oil. It is regarded as a rapid "dry - ng" oil.—New York Sun. Paper Teeth. Dentists in Germany are tieing false teeth made of paper instead of porcelain or mineral composition. These paper teeth are said to be very satisfactory, as they do not break or ohip, are not sensi- tive to heat or cold or to the action of !°m ra the moisture of the mouth and are very n cheap.—Popular Science.

The presence of any large quantity of easily obtainable food is always suffi- cient to secure the undivided attention of the shark tribe. When "cutting in" whales at sea, I have often been amazed at the incredible numbers of these crea- tures that gather in a short space of time, attracted by some mysterious means from heaven only knows what remote distances. It has often occurred to us, when whaling in the neighbor- hood of New Zealand, to get a sperm whale alongside without a sign of a sbark below or a bird above. Within an hour from the time of our securing the vast mass of flesh to the ship the whole area within at Jeast an acre has been alive with a seething multitude of sharks, while from every quarter came drifting silently an incalculable host of sea birds, converting the blue surface if the sea into the semblance of a plain of new fallen snow. The harpooners and officers from their lofty position on the cutting stage slew vcores upon scores by simply dropping their keen edged blubber spades upon the soft crowns of the struggling fish, the only place where a shark is vulner•- able to instant death. The weapon sinks into the creature's brain, he gives a convulsive writhe or two, releases bis bold and slowly sinks, followed in his descent by a knot of his immediate neighbors, all anxious to provide him with prompt sepulture within their own yearning maws.—National Re- view. The Four Greatest Poets. Who are the four greatest poets of the world? The question was one, we gather from Sir Edward Hamilton's mono- graph, which used to exercise Mr. Glad- stone. About the first three places in- deed he believed that there conld be no reasonable question. They must be as- signed to Homer, Dante and Shakes- peare. But about the fourth place Mr. Gladstone -found geat difficulty. He considered that there were four com- petitors—A schylus, Virgil, Milton and Goethe. We wonder how many of our readers would at a first guess select Mr. Gladstone's final choice? It was Goethe. Who, in recent days, have been the greatest masters of English? This was another question which 1lir. Gladstone was fond of considering. He decided in favor of two as greater than all others— Cardinal Newman and Mr. Ruskin. It is interesting- to recall the fact that Mr. Morley, in a lecture, answered the same question.

A summer visitor in a New England mill town made Mende with one or two of the French Canadians who were em- ployed as operatives in the mills. One of these was an elderly widower whose two youngest children the visitor had taken to drive with him several times. "I make As marriage nex' week, ma'inselJt" said the father as she de- posited the children -lit their home late one afternoon. "You see us all go past your house on the wedding trip."

Three or four days later the summer visitor was filled with mixed emotions as he saw the four buggies, laden with the wedding party clad in gay attire, pass the house and turn into the little cemetery.

Lnx'try and -Extravagance. In general the destruction of wealth is a social as well as an individual loss, The wealth that is used up in riotous living is diverted from better uses. Ex- travagance is not necessarily luxury. Tbo mere transfer of wealth from one hand to another does not involve"de- struction. Consumption means using up. When a nation spends $260,000 for a great picture, the wealth is not de- stroyed; it is simply transferred. When the jubilee plunger ran through $2,500,-, 000 in 12 calendar months, the wealth of the world was diminished only by the amount of its he and those who sponged, on him put down their' throats' and otherwise wantonly destroyed. In so far as it was simply transferred to others to whom he paid extravagant prices, it was not destroyed. To give high prices for articles which are rare is not necessarily luxury, for the price and the rare edition or the old master both remain. It is true that ex- travagance may mean the transfer of wealth to those who will not use it well, but it does not usually mean this. It generally involves a transfer to the hands of those who will use it more wisely.—Journal of Ethics. The Missing Pawn. One Saturday afternoon two friends of the noble game\ of chess sat playing together in a care. Suddenly one of them started up in a passion and ex- claimed, " Yon have pocketed one of my pawns, " A glance at the board and men suf- ficed to show that a pawn was really missing. The excitement over the lost pawn became so intense that a lively al- tercation ensued, in which everybody in the room took part. Quiet was at last restored, and the player wlio had lost his pawn resumed his seat and began to drink his coffee, which was covered with thick cream, when he all at once got something into his throat which nearly choked him. He succeeded, however, in extricating the intrusive article, which turned out to be the missing pawn.

HONOR ABO GOLD n Incident Which Illustrates the Speaking of French politics, I heard' most extraordinary story of another 'range secret of contemporary life. nn]e years ago one might see in a res - wrest at night, playing dominos nietly or conversing in tranquil tones, gentleman named Levy. He was a • nan'wlio knew more of the secret his - wry of the courts of Europe than any man of his time. To get a full account' of his personality and history you must spend an evening with Joe Lyons, the owner of the Trocaclero and a score of other restaurants, one of, the most bril- liant raconteurs as well as one of the best fellows in all London. Mr. Levy was a private detective, employed when- ever a task of a ctreme delicacy and enormous importance was on hand. He was retai]]ed by the Bank of England, among other' institutions, and I have heard tick his services were esteemed so valuable that he got the magnificent salary of £10,000 a year from that in- stitution Well, just after the downfall of the commune Mr. Levy was intrusted with cue of the most delicate and, 1♦ might say, terrible missions in his life. There were several communist refugees in London. Levy tracked them out. A man of the world, without enthusiasms, acquainted with all the seamy side of life and of man, he yet had a broad, sympathetic imagination, and he was astounded by the picture he found in the miserable den—if Iremember'right- ly it was a stable—in which he discov• ered the objects of his search. These men, who but a few weeks before had the government and the revenues of the great city of Paris at their command, were engaged in making a wretched bowl of soup, which was to be the one meal—and the one meal of them all -- for 24 hours. Not one penny had stuck to their palms of all the millions that were at their mercy ! "These men may be madmen," he said to a friend to whom he told the story, "but, accord- ing to their lights, they are patriots!" Has wonder grew as they refused scornfully to surrender some papers which had fallen into their possession, in spite of dazzling offers of gold, which, as agent of the French govern- ment, he was authorized to offer them. They knew the horror and the terrible and appalling importance of the domes- tic secret in the life of a great man of which they held proofs, but they decid- ed to keep the proofs' until they thought it right or wrong to publish the story to the world. And, though they refused tha.anki, thay told ttus corset, and France and Europe were saved one. -of the most cruel and devastating scandals of our times.—New York Herald. French Character. SHE TIED UP HiS TONGUE. An Experiment Which Led to the Breaking of an Engagement. I don't know why the simple fact of being iu love should deprive people of the vestige of common sense with which nature, never overgenerous wh that rarest of blessings0has endowed them, but all my observation tends to confirm we in the opinion that it does. For ex- ample, a man I know is engaged to a Georgetown girl—that is, he was en- gaged to h?r up to a quarter to 10 o'clock Thursday night, week before last. He went out to call on her,' and— but first I must tell you that she belongs to a Georgia family, and he is from Boston, and both of there] are exceeding - proud of their birthplace and anc'lfs- ttry. After a few preliminaries, said she to hire: ,cit. let's hear bow fast you can say, `She sells seashells.'

And she began_ laugh, and he Ilk told her to say it hersel \ Then they both went at it, and midWiy,of their sibilant mouthings somebody's\emper began to get frayed at the edge. -She said that Boston people speak ab0Mi0e bly anyway, aiid he retorted to quuque about the Georgia dialect. From die cussion of speech they carne to a discus- sion of manners, and things were said which it were painful to repeat. The engagement was broken, as I said, at 9:45 o'clock. It has staid broken ever since. The rupture bids fair to be per- inianent.

An eminent physician says that some tf his patients have rid themselves of Many pounds of superfluous flesh by the use of the skipping rope._ fug cloth from' cotton fiber probably One woman who, after a serious 'li- the most optimistic cannot foretell. Theess which'terminated in nervous pros- tration, found ,herself the possessor of 40 pounds of flesh in addition to her usual weight, asked the physician how she could safely dispose of them. She was not strong -enough to ride a wheel or take long -welts, and day by day she gained flesh in her enforced laziness. "Buy a skipping ropeand begin with five miuntes' exercise twine a day;" said the doctor. "Gradually increase the dose, think of what yon are doing and: of nothing else. Take the exercise slow- ly and without violence. Your nerves will be quiet4d, and when yon are tired you can drop `at once into a comfortable chair." The patient tried the prescription. Awkward at first, she soon acquired skill and as much agility as was needed for her new exercise. At the end of a month the scales showed that ten of the day when the southern people were satisfied to produce cotton for Lanca- shire and New England -has pass d away. There was a sentimental intent attaching to tbe plantation life, even wj.tl] its human slavery, but it is a dis- tinct economic advance when the fiber can be spun and woven at home, in many cases in the midst of the fields of openiug cotton bolls. A few weeks ago an account was published of a southern cotton mill whose engine and boiler rooms were set in a coal bed. The fire- men and stokers reached down from where they stood and got their fuel out of the grouud. The latest development in this south- ern wonderland is a realization of Mr. D. A..

New Method of Dininfeetion. A new method of disinfection has recently been invented l Drs. Walther and Schlossinan that possesses the mer- it of rendering much shorter the time of disinfection than the methods now in use. It consists of spraying a mixture of formaldehyde and glycerin into the room to be disinfected until a thick fog results, it being necessary to use about four pounds of the mixture for every 1,000 cubic feet. Itc, is not necessary to lna ro t!kte 'puma- hes wel.ipallf closed dur- ing this. operation, as the disinfectant is circulated by the action of the air, and thus reaches out of the way cor- ners. An exposure of three hours has been found sufficient to destroy all the germs in a room, and most th'orougb tests'iailed toe reveal the subsequent presence of bacteria. The success of the method is said to be in the hygroscopic character of the glycerin, which is add- ed to the formaldehyde, and its power of adhering to and penetrating ordinary materials such as would be found about a household. By further experiments the inventors hope to still further di- minish the time of exposure, and they believe that their method will be a most powerful agency to prevent the spreading of disease, not only in the case of human beings, but also with the lower anin]als.—New York Post. Overcomi-ag Fog. In meeting the necessities created bet the dense and continuous fogs of Lon- don the various companies engaged in furnishing the small but important fog signals are an active feature. In exi- gent weather conditions even the small- er of the various companies running through the great city's suburbs have sometimes to issue 100 gross a day of these signals, while larger ones will use double that number. This device is ex- tremely simple, consisting of a pinch of gunpowder and three percussion caps inclosed in three small metal cases, one within the other, and each closed up- with pwith white lead, while iu the inner- most case are three nipples, on which ee percussion caps are fitted, the pow- , der ..,being placed around them. The Complete thing is about the size of a 'Rep watch and has appended to it two strip o lead, which are simply bent round flange of the rail, thus hold- ing the foglsignal in position on the top.

The Indian Woodpecker. r A correspondent of The Times of In- dia, writing on the birds of Bombay, says: "I have met with only one species of woodpecker, but it is fairly common. To give a description of its,, colors by which one who did not know it would be sure to recognize it is hot easy, butt anybody who has once seen a wood- pecker wil know it again, for there is no other bird like it. It does not peroh among the branches a tree, like the other fowls of tbair, hut inns up the trunk and bough like a squire,cling- ing lip -ing with its stlpng claws ail propping itself up with its short, stiff tail. Its head, set crosswise on the thin, supple neck, looks like the hammer of a gun, and it stops at intervals to hammer fiercely at the trunk of the tree. "Its blows are delivered with extraor- dinary rapidity and energy—indeed all its actions are impulsive and hasty. The woodpecker's trade is a carious one. While other birds are hunting for all sorts of insects that fly in the air or crawl ou the growl re hide . among the leaves of trees, it lays siege to those which fancy they have defied their ene- mies by burrowing into the solid trunk. Its beak is a regular chisel, square at the point, with an edge kept always sharp, on what grindstone I know not. Its tongue, which can be thrust out for a distance of three or four inches, is armed at the point with strong and sharp hooks and also smeared, I think, with bird lime, so that it forms at once a very searching and a fast holding in- strument." The 014 Jewish New Year's. The Ji;w verily believed that on Rosh Hosbanna, or New Year's day, as is proclaimed iu the Unesaneb Tokef, the man's fortune during the ensuing year was ordained by heavenly fiat ; the bopks, not fictitious and imaginary books, but records substautial and, real, are opened, man's life iu the past year is recorded therein, read, and judgmeet rendered. The doom could be averted by "repent- ance, prayer and charity." And charity was practiced more during those days than at any other period. In those days no preacher needed to exhort his con- gregaeion to do charity. Every Friday the sincere, pious Jew set aside such part of his week's earn- ings as in his loving heart he could spare, and by discreet hand it was dis- tributed among the poor. There was no collector needed to gather in the tithe, but the Jew gave that part of his earn- ings freely to those who had to depend upon the bounty of their more fortunate brethren for their support.

Two brothers, well advanced in age, quarreled over a piece of land which they bad jointly inherited from their father and went to law. The native magistrate beard the testimony on both sides and determined that both were wrong and both right, according to the different points of view.

Principle of Fins and the Web Feet • of Swlmattag Fowls. The Scientific American describes a new beat propelled by waves. It is 18.12 feet lopg, 3.12 feet beam, 1.64 feet i depth /hid bas a displacement of abodt 440 pounds. It is decked over, exdept for a small cockpit in the middle for the steersman, and has water tight compartments 'at both ends. The little craft is stanchly enough made to stand heavy weather at sea. She is the inven- tion of H. F. L. Linden, secretary of the zoological station at Naples, where the experiments live been made. The motor contrivance consists in a se- ries of powerful resilient floats with free ends, attached to the boat at bow afid stern. Each float ie of four harden- ed steel plates 19:50 inches in length, ;9.75 inches in breadth and .068 inch in thickness at the attached ends, thinning out 'to.0098 inch at the free ends. Can- vas is spread between the plates, giving an area on the upper surface of each float of about 13% square feet. In some oases the inventor bas increased tbe re- siliency of the floats by means of steel tongues. The floats are placed at snob at depth that they shall at all times be un- t?er water. ' The principle upon wbioh the boat proceeds is that of the swimming mo - 'tion of fishes, which the inventor bas bad plenty of opportunity of observing in his duties at the zoological gardens. He made up his mind that the swim- ming motionthe of fishes which he studied might be imitated mechanical- ly with good results, and his experi- ments finally crystallized in the discov- ery of the following facts, given in his own words: "If powerful, resilient floats be at- tached horizontally, obliquely or ver- tically under the water line of a float- %VAVE PROPELLED BOAT. ing body, for example a boat, in such a manner that the free ends of the floats (made of sheet steel or of other elastin material or of some skeleton covered by a membrane, like the webbed feet of aquatic birds) are directed rearwardly, then the boat will move constantly and spontaneously onward through the waves, by reason of the impact of tbe water on the elastic floats, the opera- tion of the latter corresponding essen- tially to the action elf a fleh's tail. ' "The resistance *countered in the water by the tioattx� doe either to the dialed prodaoeat by'tbe pl'tehing and rolling of the boat or to the direct pressure produced by the impact of masses of water falling on the upper surfaces of the floats, causes these. elastic floats to bend outwardly to a corresponding degree, but as soon as the waves have momentarily subsided the floats spring back to their initial posi- tion. It is evident that the striking of the masses of water against the arched surfaces of the floats, as well as the ex- ertion of force during the backward springing, gives rise to a force which is directed toward the fast ends of the floats and which drives the boat in the direction of this impulse. Thus, by means of a continuous motion of alter- nate arching and backward springing, the boat is put in motion, and, as al- ready remarked, in a direction from the free to the fast end of the floats. "The effect of the floats is the more pronounced as the motion of the waves is stronger and more frequent. Owing to the resistance encountered by the floats in the water, the pitching and rolling of the boat are materially re- duced." Slaughter Houser and Tuberculosis. A government commission on tuber- culosis has issued its report and recom- mends that in all towns and boroughs in England and Ireland powers be con- ferred on the authorities to order, where a public slaughter Boase has been pro- vided, no other plane shall after a peri- od of three years be used for that pur- pose; that meat slaughtered elsewhere than in the public slaughter houses shall be inspected, and that the inspeot- ere shall stamp the joints and all car - passes passed as sound. in regard to London, the committee states that it ap- pears desirable to have the provision of public in substitution for private slaugh- ter houses considered in respect to the needs of London as a whole, and in de- termining their position regard must be had for the convenient conveyance of ani- mals by railway from the markets be- yond the limits of the city to the publio 'slaughter houses which should be provid- ed. It seems that at the present time no administrative authority bas statutory power to provide public slaughter houses other than for foreign cattle at the port of debarkation. It is also rec- ommended that no one be allowed to offer for sale the meat of aayTnimal not killed in a duly licensed slaughter house. Looking Baciwayd.

Air Seldom Reael,ea the Lower Pott of Some People's Lungs. Bad habits of breathing are common among both the sick and tbe well. With many the daily occupation favors a stooping posture and sedentary habits— a combination favorable to lung disease. Bookkeepers, clerks and other indoor workers must guard against a habit of short, shallow breathing and a chronic stoop. These indicate infallibly an in- euflicient expansion of the lungs. Rapid and shallow breathing is strict- ly unhygienic. It leaves a great portion of the lungs entirely unused and part of the air in them unchanged. Deep breathing strengthens and increases the muscles of the chest and the abdomen. The abdominal muscle directly overlies the intestines, and its motion stimu- lates the whole digestive apparatus, thus contributing to its healthful activ- ity. Persons who occasionally or contin- ually suffer from cough should take pains to cultivate deep breathing. Al- most all such persons breathe improper- ly. In many cases lack of lung power is inherited ; in others habit or occupation plays an unfavorable part; in not a few instances a fear of the lungs being deli- cate superinduces a babit of shallow breathing, from an erroneous idea that the lungs are in this way favored. The health of an organ depends large- ly upon a proper exercise of its func- tions: Diseases of the lungs, ofa chron- ic nature especially, are often wholly, always partially, chargeable to an un- hygienic method of breathing. The part of the lungs most likely to become af- fected with disease is the apex or upper- most portion. The reason for this lies in the fact that this part of the lung is fully expanded only on taking a deep inspiration. In many persons this part of the lung is therefore seldom expand- ed, its function is impaired, and it falls more readily a prey to disease. Tight Clothing is especially harmful about the neck and shoulders, and in this respect men err as often as women. A tightly constructed waist, while lim- iting free respiration, is perhaps not so harmful to the lungs as to other adja- cent organs of the body.—Auckland News. Simple Silver Plating. A great deal of interest bas of late been manifested iu the question of elec- troplating, and the fact that small elec- troplating outfits are in the market has brought to many a schoolboy a bonanza of supreme attraction. With a little practice any boy can do a respect- able ' turn "with` Cls p ag machine. There is nothing that he won't put in. to his plating tank, but his first opera- tions are sure to be devoted to the fam- ily spoons. It is hardly surprising that a hotel should have taken in hand the same issue of plate deterioration and sought to meet it in the same way. The management of a New York hotel de- cided that it would be cheaper to put in an electroplating plant and furnish its owu forks and spoons and other ar- ticles from which the silver had worn off than to send them to the professional electroplater. The plant has alread jus- tified the first cost of the outfit and has shown the economy and feasibility of the novel scheme. In addition to the small motor and plating dynamo the plant has four vats, each holding 25 gallons and containing respectively the nickel, copper, silver and striking solu- tions. Tbesstaests cannot eat the silver off the plate with sufficient rapidity to keep the plant busy and is second to none iu the brilliance of its silverware. Parasites In Meat. A bulletin on the inspection of meat for animal parasites has been prepared for the bureau of animal industry of the United States department of agriculture by Dr. Stiles. In this, while treating the whole subject exhaustively, from both a theoretical and practical stand- point, the author especially emphasizes the necessity of publio meat inepeotors being well informed in regard to facts relating to the flukes and tapeworms Which they are likely to find in abat- toirs and slaughter houses. A knowl- edge of these worms will, he says, en- able inspectors to prevent the spread of the tapeworm stage among human be- ings by condemning such infested meat or subjecting it to processes which will render it harmless. The more important parasites in respect to diseases in man are those of beef measles, pork measles and hydatids—the last named at present coinpat'atively rare in this country. Dr. Stiles declares, however, that nith the exception of trichinosis andydatid disease, the majority of these parasitio troubles are not especially dangerous to human life. Nevertheless they are one and all decidedly prejudicial to health, and consequently it is' in a high degree desirable that effective means should be taken to prevent their spread.

QUITE INFORMAL. Lincoln's Reception of the Notifica- tion Committee. In the "Biography of Charles Carle- ton Coffin" is his own account of ac- companying the committee to the home of Mr. Lincoln in Springfield, Ilia. , to notify him of his nomination for presi- dent. They reached Springfield early in tba evening, aefd after supper at the hotel made their call on Lincoln. It was not to be a very formal interview. Lincoln stood in the parlor, dressed in a black frock goat. The announce - inept was made, and his reply seemed brief. Ho was evidently much con- strained, but as soon as the last word had been spoken he turned to Mr. Kel- ley of Pennsylvania, the chairman of the committee, and said: "Judge, you are a pretty tall man. How tall are you?" "Six feet two." "I beat you! I am 6 feet 3 without my high heeled boots." "Penney Ivauia bows to Illinois, where, we have been told, there were only lit- tle giants," said Kelley. This was an allusiou to Douglas, who bad been called the "Little Giant." One by one the members of the com- mittee were introduced to Lincoln, and when the handshaking was over he j said: ----J-(Goratioatea, fib. LindOls, will iI0 pleased to see you in the adjoining room, where you will find some refresh- ments. " There Mrs. Lincoln met them pleas- antly, but the only visible sign of re- freshments was a white earthen pitcher filled with ice water. This waspossibly Mr. Lincoln's little joke, for it was afterward ascertained that his Repub- lican neighbors bad offered to furnish wines and liquors, which he refused to have iu his house, and that bis Demo- cratic friends bad sent round baskets of champagne, which were also declined. 1 CHIMNEYS KNOCKED OUT. Machine Shops Can Be Run More Economically Without Them. A few years ago the building of a machine shop without a chimney would have been looked upon as the got of an idiot. Now it may be the wisest thing a builder can do, for the large fan which is taking the place of the chim- ney costs a great deal less than the lofty stack, and does its work much better. Besides this there is a great saving in fuel. In one plant where this experiment was tried there were three boilers, ag- gregating 260 horsepower, and directly above them was mounted a fan connect- ed direct with a 5 by 4 double cylinder engine. The wheel of the fan was 54 inches in diameter, and as it could be run at any speed, it provided a draft quite independent of the fire. It was possible to use a much cheaper grade of coal and the savingttbus effected was quite appreciable. For instance, with the ordinary form of chimney the shop would use 1,624 tons of Cumberland coal, at $8.65, ag- gregating 45,929 a year. Using the blower, a mixture of Cumberland'*oal and yard screenings, half and hiilf, would suffice. This, at $2.85 i, would amount to $4,995, showing a difference of $984. The cost of operating the fan was placed at $183 per annum, so that the net gain was $751, a sum greater than the entire cost of the mechanical draft apparatus.—St. LouisGlobe-Dem- oorat. _ Highest Meteorological Station. To Harvard university belongs the credit of havin\established the highest meteorological station in the world— nearly four miles above the sea level— namely, ou the summit of El Misti, a quiescent volcano near Arequipa, a in Peru. The main station is at Arequipa itself, at au altitude of about 8,000 feet, and there are seven other stations, in- cluding one at the base of El Misti, 15,- 700 feet above the sea level, while theme one on the summit is at 19,200, or about 8,500 feet higher than the noted station on Mont Blanc. The shape of the Misti is declared to be admirable, it being an almost perfect, although more or less tluncated, cone and the conditions of exposure of the instruments are as near- ly perfect as it is possible to obtain on a mountaiu.

The school -house in District 45; Mendota, known as the Staples district was burned last Sunday evening, about nine o' clock, caused by an explosion of gas in the furnace. The janitor had started a fire for the purpose of warming the rooms for morning, they ilaYing been closed for a two weeks' vacation. An additional room had just been built by the district for a library, with new furniture, books, and apparatus, and repainted the building throughout, making it prob- ably the best equipped school -house in the county. It seems particularly unfortunate, as there are yet twenty- one weeks of school, and no suitable room can be secured in the neighbor- hood for temporary use. Much relief was felt that no one was in the build- ing when the accident occur -red. The teachers were Miss Jennie H. Greaves and Miss May Panchott. Beata the Klondike. Mr. A. C.

With hearts of champions charging in the lists, Whose lances crumble as they crash and fall. With nerves of boxers pounding with their fists. There is no movement. It is semblance all. Save that at intervals a hand outstretched Beckons a charge or signals a retreat ; Or, from the depths whence plots Malign are fetched, Issues the interdict that seals defeat.

A CASTLE IN SPAIN. Jere. • Grandcourt Bevingtou 1 planned it all out in her mind from t first meeting, when they would insta ly fall in love with each other, to t wedding bells and flowers and mus There was only one drawback to t delightful "chateau en spagne," a that tremendous obstacle was M Beatrice Grandcourt Bevington, t alternate joy and despair of her gran mother's heart. "It is no use arguing or commandi or.persnading, " said Mrs. Bevingtou herself, with a sigh. "If she won't, s won't, so it is just so much brea wasted to try either way." Now, the plain facts of the case a these: Mrs. Bevingtou had that mor ing received a letter from an old frie -a friend whom she had not seen years, in fact since she was 20 and 25. Can you guess why? A misunde standing, a girl's hasty action, a man wounded pride and a parting. Fort five years had elapsed; and now he h written to say that his grandson w visiting in the neighborhood and wou be honored by permission to call. H grandson 1 She could hardly realize th now he was old, nearly 70 in fact. her he had always appeared as in da of yore. You, of course, can fathom Mr Bevington's plans that these two youn persons should_ starry. After all, wh could be nicer? she thought. And pe haps that would in a measure make u for her own lost happiness, for, thoug these memories were nearly half a ce Jury old, Mrs. Bevingtou thought sti with a sigh and a misty fear of wh "might have been." And Beatrice, her darling, deare even than her own children had been • her bieughty, impulsive, lovin whose life was like an Apr miles and tears -would her lif spoiled by hasty action, whic she inherited from her grand ' �i father? treat deal of thought Mrs came to the wise conclusio said soonest mended," an `ermined to say nothin = ---3sttrice about the expected -- hal'audfather; or -ire+ copes and fears. , The longexpected daycame Pa e t� ,est nd the guest was to arrive in time fo limier. Beatrice looked in amazemen at her grandmother as she anxious] asked her what she intended to wea that evening, what flowers she preferre and wouldn't she do her hair up in he favorite way? '-'Is any one coming, grandma?" aEke Beatrice, little thinking of the 'pia that was being hatched by the stately dignified lady. "Mrs. Whitby and the doctor," re died Mrs. Bevingtou, feeling a guilt eialm as she hid the fact that she ass xpected ,nother guest. "But you uow, dear, it seems to me that late! you have not been so particular abou coming in early to dress for dinner and have therefore had to hurry." Beatrice blushed and looked rather •ightened. The -afternoon dragged wearily away. `le heat was so intense as to make :ring or walking au impossibility, d Mrs. Bevington had not the liking Jr the woods possessed by Beatrice, who had disappeared : cter lunch and would not be seen until after dinner time. As it grew cooler Mrs. Bevingtou walked slowly down the forest road, thinking to meet Beatrice ou her way home, but her courage soon gave out, and she sat down to rest on the pretty little seat that hal been put up for Beatrice and which she called her '-ewer.eee - she sat there, resting and dream - g, 'the clear, dulcet tones of Beatrice's ice struck her ear, with the accom- niment of a man's voice which seemed ogether strauge to her. 'One of tha,child'sfriends," thought 3 grandmother, with au indulgent Beatrice was a great favorite with to superior sex. She rose from her seat as the speak- ers approached her retreat and leisurely advanced to meet them. But to her hor- ror and amazement, instead of seeing some familiar form, she saw a tall, handsome stranger actually catch her own granddaughter, Miss Beatrice Grandcourt Bevington, in bis arms and kiss her in a way that made Mrs. Bev- ington feel, in spite of her anger, in- dignation and disgust, what the boys call "chokey.'' "Goodby, my darling," he whisper- ed in a caressing tone. "I shall see you this evening." "At what time shall I expect you?" asked Beatrice. "Any time between 7 and 10," he replied, and with more caressing words and sweet looks they parted, he - going back through the woods and she return- ing home. Mrs. Bevington sat down, feeling suite faint. Was this how her castle in 'ipain was to end -to burst like a bub - le in the air? She sighed, and a sad, look came over her face as she ight of another broken dream. he sat there for an hour or more then arose and walked sli:wly v. "I'm a silly old woman," she ght to herself as she mounted the rs to her room after inquiring in hall if Miss Beatrice had returned, have laid such plans.

Mrs. Bevington advanced to meet him, looked, gasped and then looked again, and for once forgot her compo- sure. She sank almost- fainting on a chair, while Jack Trenholm frantically rang the bell for a servant and fanned her- with his handkerchief. "What is the matter, grandma?" asked Beatrice, hastily entering the room. On perceiving the figure bending over her grandmother she started. Mrs. Bev- ington looked at Jack and tried to speak, while be and Beatrice both ap- peared guilty. "You should have told her more carefully," said Beatrice, looking a lit- tle reproachfully at Jack as she spoke. Her grandmother was dear to her. "I have told her nothing," replied lie. "Why, my dear girl, I have only just arrived." Both looked more guilty and puzzled than ever. What could be the matter? "Are you the grandson of my old friend, John sTrenholm?" Mrs. Beving- ton asked faintly. "Yes," replied Jack. "Was it you I saw kissing Beatrice this afternoon? This question was decidedly embar- rassing. g Jack ark colored, while Beatrice looked ready to cry. Jack braced him- self up for the final struggle. "Yes, Mrs. Sevington, it was. I have a confession to make to both you and Beatrice, who until this moment never knew that I in any way knew of you. When my grandfather learned that I was coming into this neighbor- hood, he asked me to call on you and also intimated that .if I fell in love with Beatrice he would have no objec- tion. He said he thought in that way to atone for the past." Mrs. Sevington sighed, and a tear crept down her face. He had not quite forgotten her then. - "But I was not quite willing," con- tinued Jack, "to marry a girl under circumstances n es so auspicious, t re and there- fore fore determined to come quietly, incog- nito, in fact, and see for myself if I cared for her, and, what was infinitely more necessary, if she could learn to care for rue. I came, saw, and she con- quered. Beatrice never kuew until to- night who I really was, although I have known her for two weeks, and so she loves me for myself alone. And now I ask your forgiveness, Mrs. Bevington, for my bold stroke for happiness. Is it grauted?" Do I need to tell you her answer? - Waverly Magazine. One of Nature's Pussies That Is Le. euted in Texas. d About three miles west of Cedar Bayou, Harris county, Tex., is a re= re markable well. When it was dug, no one can tell, but it has been in exist- ence for more than 60 years. The well is known es the "singing well." In calm, fine weather a sound like that of au Ai olian harp conies upward between the tangles of vines below. At times the sound seems nearer and clearer. Then again- it recedes, as if far away, and reacbee the ear very faintly. These cbauges take place every few ininutes, and with gyeat regularity. Whir -an east wind blowing the wa- ter in the well gets very low and the mysterious musical sound -very faint. A strong west wind causes the water to rise and the sound to increase in volume and clearntes. But it is just before a great norther that the cid well plays its wildest pranks. Thou for several hours the wa- ter rises to within a few feet of the top of the well and emits the weirdest, wildest noises that ever reached human tars. At such times even the water irawu out with buckets moans and wails as if in anguish. The well is about 60 feet deep. A few years ago the land on which it is located was bought by a Mr. Watkins, who, not likieg the sounds that came from the well, employed two men to till it up. They shoveled dirt into the well two weeks, but it did not affect -the depth of water perceptibly, and they threw tip the coutract. From the measurements of the excavations they had made it bas been calculated that the well should bay., bup ecu filled a little more than twice. The water is very clear, with a bluish tint, and is fairly palatable. No other wells in the neighborhood show such pranks as are played by the "singing 'well." -Fort Worth (Tex.) Cor. Chi• eago Inter Ocean. P A Calculative Mule. This strange story is duly credited of a mule who fell bind feet backward into an old dry weil, 60 feet deep, all efeet to rbscue hirci seeming fruitless, was completely wedged in. b'inai- ,wner, supposing the poor crea- ture was injured by the fall, decided that it would be more merciful to have him killed than to allow him to starve to death. Not -knowing any other way of dis- patching him, he had a cartload of dirt thrown in upon him. But instead of patiently submitting to being buried alive tho mule patiently shook off the dirt and trampled it with his feet, thereby raising himself several inches. Another load was thrown in, with the same result. Some one suggested keeping up the process, and, acting upon the idea, all the neighbors set diligently to work filling the well, carefully throwing the dirt in on the sides. It was slow work, but a hearty interest was awakened from the perseverance with which the poor mule tramped down the dirt, Inch by inch he ascended until the well was filled to within a few feet of the top, when, complacently, as though nothing had happened, his mulesbip stepped out safe and sound. An African King. Tlrb king advanced and gravely shook our hands. He then retired a few paces and executed a slow and dignified dance, holding out his cloth with both hands in the fashion of a lady dancing a minuet. This s a a highly g y compli- mentary and gracious act on the part of the king, for it signified that he re- ceived us as honored and welcome guests. When he had concluded his dance, he again advanced and shook our hands, preserving the same impassive and dignified demeanor that bad char- acterized him when receiving us, and he then moved off. The ladies next saluted us, and the queen mother offered me the tips of her fingers with extreme caution. Then after shaking the hands of about an- other score of chiefs we were left in peace to retire to the quarters that bad been assigned to us. -R. A. Freeman's "Travel and Life In Ashanti." Oxygen Gana Curative. The use of oxygen gas, either pure or diluted with pure air, is regarded by Dr. George Stoker -who communicates' some remarkable results of his long ex- perience to The British Medical Jour-' nal -as the speediest method of healing wounds and more economical as re- spects both suffering and money than any other treatment. Bacteriological study shows that oxygen destroys some' micro organisms of wounds and encour-' ages the growth of others. In every healthy and rapidleehealing wound or sore certain micro organisms deemed fevorable to recovery are found, while others aro held to be unfavorable, and when healing is arrested or retarded in a wound treated by oxygen a correspond- ing decrease of favorable or increase of unfavorable micro organisms follows.' To meet this their character is speedily reversed by increasing the strength of the oxygen bath. Something Just as Good. Customer -Have you any 'scouring sand? Grocer -No, we're entirely out of it.

They 'vealways been most polite and taken it seriously, saying, 'We don't keep brandy and coda and sandwiches here, ' `But you have thorn ordered in from outside.' 'Yes, but that of course is for ourselves,' and so on, all quite gravely grid without ae suspicion of a sterile or the slightest quiver of the muscles of the counte- nance to indicate a sense that a prac- tical joke was feeling around." "And in America you would have fared differently?" "P.ather. I went once to the state- house in Hartford. There was a man standing at the entrance, an official with a band around itis hat, so I step- ped up to him and said, 'Can you tell me if this hotel is conducted on the Eu- ropeao plan?•. He simply looked at me, and cialmty said, 'Any more?' Then there was a mousent',s awkward pause, and I bad to walk out." Death and Birth Time, a. There are a great number of curious superstitions as to the time of day when a dying person is most likely to draw his last breath, and the tide, !noon and the wind have all been supposed to have some share in the matter. According to The British Medic 1 Journal, Reser', who has analyzed 5,474 cases of death and 36,545 of h'rth, where the exact tune of day wee noted, finds that the maximum nnrhber of deaths occur in the early afternoon (2:07 p. m.), anti the minimum in the last bours before midnight, while the maximum number of births ocher in the early hours of the trorniug, and the minimum' in the the hours of afternoon. As regards the cause of this he points out the hours of the maximum number of deaths are precisely those when the pulse rate and the temperature are at their highest in health, and when there is a febrile exacerbation in illness. - A Very Queer Dreamer.

There was a faint suggestion of frosty sting in the sunny air, and Master Parrot was forti- fied agaiust it. he wore a coat or a blanket, or whatever you like to call it, of greet velvet, made of two pieces, just the shape of a turtle's shell. One piece hung over bis chest. The other protected his back, and the two pieces were joined to a kind of collar. A bicy- e1e.tood at the cu>.bstane.

Naturally many of the men are employed in fiebiug, and the old fishermen delight to tell of the fool- ish questions asked by the "rusticators" who visit Nantucket in summer. One summer visitor, in turn, tells this story of the town fish market: "Have you auy salmon?" I asked of the old salt, who was sharpening a knife. "No, ma'am,'; he answered, and then be added, in a pleasantly conde- scending way, "We don't sell nothin but fish here." "Well," I responded, "salmon is t:_h, you know.

The layman who is introduced to the mysteries of cutting glass for the first time is amazed at the amouLt of work that the workmau does entirely by his eye. The first stage of the bowl which is to be out finds it in a perfectly plain condition, not a scratch upon it and only a half dozen or more marks in red chalk, which mean absolutely nothing -to the unpracticed eye. But to the workman they mean the whole pattern. Perhaps the dish is a salad bowl. The marks in chalk will run from the edge, five intervals apart, down to the center of the bowl at the bottom. In one of the divisions of the bowl thus marked there may be a little further marking in the shape perhaps of a diamond. This indicates the pattern into which the bowl is to be cut, and it will be re- peated in eacl%of the five divisions. All the intricacies of the design the work- man has in his head, and they develop on the glees in a way which seems,to the looker on absolutely marvelous. - New York Mmes. A Wonderful Creature.

A CASTLE IN SPAIN. Mrs. Grandconrt Bevington had planned it all oat in her mind from the tirst meeting, when they would instant- ly fall in love with each other, to the wedding bells and flowers and music. There was only one drawback to this delightful "chateau eu spagne," and that tremendous obstacle was Miss Beatrice Grandcourt Bevington, the alternate joy and despair of her grand- mother's heart. . "It is no use arguing or commanding or persuading," said Mrs. Beviegtou to herself, with a sigh. "If she won't, she won't, so it is just so much breath wasted to try either way." Now, the plain facts of the case are these: .51113. Bevington had that morn- ing received a letter from an old friend —a friend whom she had not seen in years, in fact since she was 20 and he 25. Can you guess why? A misunder- standing, a girl's hasty action, a man's wounded pride and a parting. Forty- five years had elapsed, and now he had written to say that his grandson was visitiug in the neighborhood and would be honored by permission to call. His grandson! She could hardly realize that now he was old, nearly 70 in fact. To her he had always appeared as in days of yore. You, of course, can fathom Mrs. Bevington's plans that these two young persons should marry. After all, what could he nicer? she thought. And per- haps that would in a meaeure make up for her own lost happiness, for, though these memories were nearly half a cen- tury old, Mrs. Bevington thought still with a sigh and a misty fear of what "might have been." And Beatrice, her darling, dearer even than her own children had been, her haughty, impulsive, loving whose life was like au April .niles and tears—would her life spoiled by hasty action, which s•he inherited from her grand- father? -treat deal of thought Mrs. came to the wise conclusion said soonest mended," and 'ermined to say nothing ettrice about the expectet deetlfuther,- or - item The long expected day came al ..est ,4opes and fears. nd the guest was to arrive in time for linner. Beatrice looked in amazement at her grandmother as she anxiously asked her what she intended to wear that evening, what flowers she preferred and wouldn't she do her hair up in her favorite way? "Is any one coming, grandma?" asked Beatrice, little thinking of the plan that was being hatched by the stately, dignified lady. "Mrs. Whitby and the doctor," re• Mrs. Bevington, feeling a guilty ualm as she hid the fact that she also xpected another guest. "But you Dow, dear, it seems to me that lately you have not been so particular about eorning-in early to dress for dinner and have therefore had to hurry." Beatrice blushed and looked rather The afternoon dragged wearily away. AO heat was so intense as to make .ving or walking an impossibility, d Mrs. Bevington had not the liking Jr the woods possessej by Beatrice, who had disappeared :gter lunch and would not be seen until after dinner time. As it grew cooler Mrs. Bevington walked slowly down the forest road, thinking to meet Beatri on her way and she sat down to rest on he pretty tt home, but her courage on gave out, little seat that had been put up for Beatrice and which she called her —""'" she sat there, resting and dream - g, 'the clear, dulcet tones of Beatrice's+ ice struck 13er ear, with the accom- niment of a man's voice which seemed ogether strange to her. 'One of the child's friends," thought ) grandmother, with an indulgent Beatrice was a great favorite with ie superior sex. She rose from her seat as the speak- ers approached her retreat and leisurely advanced to meet them. But to her hor- ror and amazement, instead of seeing some familiar form, she saw a tall, handsome stranger actually catch her own granddaughter, Miss Beatrice Grandcourt Bevington, in his arms and kiss ber in a way that made Mrs. Bev- inEgton feel, in spite of her anger, in- dignation and disgust, what the boys call "chokey.'• "Goodby, my darling," he whisper - d in a caressing tone. "I shall see you his evening." - "At what time shall I expect you?" sked Beatrice.

This strange story is duly credited of a mule who fell hind feet backward into an old dry weil, 60 feet deep, all effre.t. 'to rbscue him seeming fruitless, was compketely wedged in. Final- ,wner, suising the poor crea- ture was injured by the fall, decided that it would be more merciful to have him killed than to allow him to starve to death. Not knowing any other way of dis-, patching hini, he had a oartload of dirt thrown in upon him. But instead of patiently submitting to being buried alive the mule patiently shook off the dirt and trampled it with his feet, thereby raising himself se‘ eral inches. Another load was thrown In, with the same result. Some one suggested keeping up the process, and, acting upon the idea, all the neighbors set diligently to work filling the well, carefully throwing the dirt in on the sides. It was slow work, but a hearty interest was awakened from the perseverance with which the poor mule tramped down the dirt. Inch by inch be ascended until the well was filled to within a few feet of the top, when, coniplacently, as though nothing had happened, his muleship stepped out safe and sound. An African Ming. The king advanced and gravely shook our hands. He then retired a few paces and executed a slow and dignified dance, holding out his cloth with both hands in the fashion of a lady dancing a minuet. This was a highly compli- mentary and gracious act on the part of the king, for it signified that he re- ceived us as honored and welcome guests. When he- had concluded his dance, he again advanced and shook our hands, preserving the same impassive and dignified demeanor that Issid char- acterized him when receiving us, and be then moved off.

Oxygen Gana Curative. The use of oxygen -gas, either pure or diluted with pure air, is regarded by Dr. George Stoker—who communicates' some remarkable results of his long ex- perience to The British Medical Jonr-: nal—as the speediest method of healing wounds and more economical as re-: spects both suffering and money than. any other treatment. Bacteriological:. study shows that oxygen destroys some' micro organisms of wounds and enconr-I ages the growth of others. In everY healthy and rapidlhpealing wound or sore certain micro organisms deemed favorable to recovery are found, while others /ire held to be unfavorable, and when healing is arrested or retarded, in. a wound treated by oxygen a correspond-. ing decrease of favorable or increase of unfavorable micro organisms follows.' To meet this their character is speedily reversed by increasing the strength of the oxygen bath. Something Just as Good. Customer—Have you any seintring sand? Grocer—No, we're entirely out of it.

About three miles west of Cedar Bayou, Harris county, Tex., is a re- markable well. When it was dug, no one can tell, but it has been in exist- ence for more than 60 years. The well is knoWn as the "singing well." In calm, fitni-weather a sound like that of au Aolian harp conies upward between the tangles of vines below. At times the sound seems nearer and clearer. Then again, it recedes, as if far away, and ratchet!) the ear very faintly. These chauges take place every few minutes, and with ge'reat regularity. With an east wind blowing the wa- ter in the well gets yell' low aud the mysterious !musical sound -very faint. A strong west wind eathlee the water to rise and the sound tO increase in volume and clearnees. But it is just before a great norther that the eld well plays its wildest pranks. Then for several hours the wa- ter rises to within a few feet of the top of the well and enrits the weirdest, wildest noises that ever reached human ears. At such times even the water wails as if in anguish. The well is about 60 feet deep. few years ago the land on which it is located was bought by a Mr. Watkins, who, not liking the sounds that came from the well, employed two men to fill it up. They shoveled dirt into the well two weeks, but it did not affect -the depth of wider perceptibly, and they threw up the contract. From the measurements of the excavations they had made it has been calculated that the w I should hare been filled up a little in re than twice.

The mere crossing of the order upon the master crew of any is a well understood signal to the Brit - to heed signals of distress. Public opin- ion alone euforces the idea that "a call' ish postal authorities, for, while the for help at sea must be obeyed." The custom is comparatively unfamiliar to laws of salvage are merely framed to people on this side 4the Atlantic, it is encourage the saving of life and proper- common enough in the United King- ty on the deep. There is avarice in the dem. Whop an American remits money in mariner as in landsmen, and the laws are made to overcome and curb these mercenary ambitions. For that reason a piaster and his crew cannot expeot salvage for saving their own vessel. It is the natural assumption in law, as well as in fact, that they must do everything they can to 1 preserve their charge and under an agreement with the owners keep it from danger when- ever possible. In salvage one of the first laws is that the peril must be actual. The bargain made in time of danger by the master or agent of the imperiled craft with an- other volunteering aid need not of neces- sity hold in court, and generally does not. Aa a pule the bargain is exorbitant and made at a time when the victim would be willing to guarantee the pay - Matt of millious for proffered assist- ance. This point has been decided hun- dreds of times, the courts taking the stand that the peril made an exor- bitant bargain necessary. As a general thing, th salv4ge a and is equal to about one-third the value the case of sailing craft and from one-iBiid to one-half in the case of steamers. The owners of the salving craft, whose 'money was wasted by de- lay, wear and tear, are of course en- titled to the bigger piece of the plum. The master of the salvor gets about twice the sum that his mate receives, and the mate is paid something like double the amount of each sailor. Should the.latter have been a mem- ber of a lifeboat crew used in running hawsers or in going aboard as a prize crew he and his mates are entitled to an extra compensation. Naval officers cannot claim salvage when the work accomplished is in the direct line of their duty. In the case of a abandoned vessel there is a peculiar law as applied to ownership. No matter where the dere- lict be found and towed or assisted in by a prize crew or'otherwise the court holds that she is still the property of her original owners, although abandon- ed by her crew, their agents, and that no effort has beeu made by them to re- cover her. It sounds peculiar to the average mariner, but it's the law. To make a successful salvage claim it is necessary that the property must be actually saved and saved by those claim- ing to be salvors. In other words, th-,. salvage services must be rendered by persons not bound by contract to render them. If the mariner or other encoun- ters the danger or misfortune or dam- age which might possibly expose the ship to destruction unless assistance is rendered and does all he can to save the vessel, and his services tend in some de- gree to save or preserve her, compensa- tion will be awarded hien, although the vessel is mainly preserved by other demeans. The longest time that any one steam er has been at sea with disabled ma- chinery before reaching port was 77 days. This was the United States cor- vette Iroquois in 1890. She was borthd to Samoa from Honolulu, and had only seven days' rations left when port was reached. In 1897 the steamer Indralema was towed into St. Thomas after hav- ing been at sea for 47 days. The Glas- gow steamer Strathnesa, after drifting 32 days ,out of the range of steamers, was towed into St. Michael's in Janu- ary, 1897, by the British steamer Han- nah M. Bell. Another Strath, the Strathnevis, drifted helplessly on the Pacific for two months and over in 1895, and was finally towed into Puget ss sound. The Dispt ich in 1864 was out 61 days with crippled machinery, and four years ago the British cruiser Oa- lypso broke down 2,000 miles from port and sailed in unaided, much to the de- light of the dwindling band of naval experts who maintain that every war- ship ought to be provided with ample THE DATE LINE. How the Day Changes Without In- conveniencing Anybody. A mapmaker asks, says the New York Snn, if the date line, or the imag- inary•line drawn to mark the change in the calendar day *squired of circum- navigators of the globe, follows the one hundred and eightieth meridian. He adds tbat he bas been unable to find the date line on any map. The date line does not follow the one hundred and eightieth or any other meridian for its entire oourse, but takes a somewhat devious route through the Paoifio. It is strange that it is shown on so very few maps of the world. The reasons why a orooked course was given to it and why it was placed in the Pa- cifia are interesting and easily under- stood. Suppose the date line had been run through our country on the meridian of Chicago. In that case when it was Monday in New York, Cleveland and Indianapolis it would be Tuesday all the way from Chicago to San Francisco and out on the Paoifio. Of course that would be a serious business inconven- ience. It is evident that the date line should not pass through any continents. It is praotioally a necessity that such a line had to be fixed somewhere, but it obviously had to run through an ocean. It should not pass through the Atlan- tic ocea,rbecause in that case when it was Monday in London, Paris and Hamburg it would be Tuesday in the this manner, he crosses his order him- United States, and this would be inoon- self, but in several foreign. countries the venient in regions that have such enor- postoffice does not give the order to the mous interests in common and are so sender, but transmits it directly to the closely united by telegraphs and cables. paying office.

A LAKE PILOT'S LEG. How It Solved the Mystery of the , Wreak of a Steam Propeller. "We are never amazed when vessels go aground and are wrecked on Lake Erie during the gales that are common on that treacherous water, for we ex- pect such things then," said a lake skipper, "but when one is grounded on a clear day and wrecked on a course as clear as the day in the bands of a pilot that knows the ground like a book we naturally wonder a little and want to know the whys and wherefores. Such was the case of the propeller Susan E. Peck that went aground near Bar point and was lost with a $20,000 cargo. "The captain of the Susan E. had sailed successfully hundreds of times between Point Pelee and Bar point and in all kinds of weather, and this time be had a wheelman who was known from one end of the lake to the other as on of the most expert navigators in the lake business. He had been lying up a long time, for the very good reason that owing to an accident to one of his legs that leg had to be amputated to save his life. The lost member was re- placed by an artificial leg, and then the pilot was ready to take his post at the wheel again. His first service after his misfortune was this trip of the Susan E. Peck, and he ran her aground. "The puzzle to everybody was how it was possible for the propeller, han- dled by a man of such skill and experi- ence, on a straight course only 40 miles long and with sailing condition favorable, to ave her course. The pilot was the most puzzled and astounded person of all. He soon got anotheres- sel, and this one be ran in such er- ratic manner, but ficrtunately with no disastrous result, that he was compelled to give her np, and his usefulness as a pilot wqs gone. H1e end others went to investigating to see if they could dis- cover what was wrong with his sea- manship. "After awhile they discovered what they believed was the trouble. In the pilot's artificial leg a great deal of steel had been used in the joists and other planes. Sitting close to the binnacle, as be did while steering, this steel derang- ed the compass so that it threw the wheelman ,nay off Ms reckoning and led to the wrong piloting that had wrecked the Susan E. Peck and endan- gered the other vessel that the wheel - man navigated subsequently. This was what they argued, and to demonstrate the correctness of the theory the pilot took charge of "a vessel without wear- ing his false leg. Everything worked to a charm. The mystery of the Susan E. Peck was solved, and the pilot was re- stored to bis old place in the confidence of Lake Erie skippers and vessel own- ers. "—New York Sun. Diplomatic.

When the sulphur was well mixed, the physician rve it as a gargle, and in ten minutes the patient was out of danger. Sulphur kills every species of fungus in a man, beast and'plant in a few minntee. Instead of spitting out the gargle the swallowing of it is rec- ommended. In extreme cases in which the above specialist had been called in the nick of time, when the fungus was too nearly olosing to allow the gargling, he blew the sulphur through a quill into the throat, and, after the fungus had shrunk to allow of it, then the gar- gle. —Humanitarian.

The whale butchery of Captain Foeyn at Vadsoe employs at the present time 120 men, most of them in former years sailors on board of whalers. South America's Suicide Wind. In Brazil and other parts of South America the natives know and fear a certain condition of the air which they call "suicide wind." It is not a superstition, but an actual condition of the atmosphere which seems to drive the people to madness, and during its continuance self inflict- ed deaths are numerous. Criminologists and scientists all over the world are interested in this peculiar atmospheric influence, which is indi- cated by a soft, moist, warm air that, settles heavily on the earth. The climatic conditjon known as the "suicide wind" is greatly dreaded in that part of the country. Statistics prove that suicides and oth- er crimes occur together or in waves as they are described. _ Ball Bearings on Omnibuses. A modification of the welt known ball bearings used on bicycles has been in- troduced in the case of wheels of omni- buses in England with the result of di- minishing the exertion of the horses in drawing and more especially in starting the vehicle.

Japan is a long way off, and this alarming story of how courtships are carried on among the elite of their so- ciety comes to us from this faraway land. In certain districts, in houses wherein resides a daugbter of marriage- able age, an empty flowerpot is encir- lled by a string and suspended from a window or the veranda. Instead of sere- nades by moonlight and other tflelicate ways of making an impression, it is etiquette for the Japanese lover to ap- proach the dwelling of his sweetheart bearing some choice plant in his band, whioh be reverently proceeds to plant in the empty vase. This takes place when be is fully aware that mother and daughter are at home. This act of placing a plant in the flowerpot is equivalent to a formal proposal to the lady of his choice. The lover, having settled the plant 18 his mind, retires, and the lady is free to act as she pleases. If he is the right man, she takes every care•of his gift, waters it and tends it carefully with her own bands, that all may see that the donor is accepted ae a suitor. But if he is not the favorite, or if the stern parents object, the poor plant is torn from the vase and the next morning lies limp and withered on the veranda or in the path below The Leopard and the Pan. One day a worthy Kulu housewife came out from her cooking and, stand- ing on the ledge of rock at her door, emptied a pan of boiling water into the rank herbage growing below.

Who can say' But the astonished woman dropped the pan with a clang upon the rock, and the leopard took one leap down hill. The pan followed, and the leopard's downward leaps became lon- ger and swifter as the pan bounded aft- er it from rock to rock. When last seen the leopard had just achieved a leap of about 850 feet to the very bottom of the ravine, thousands of feet below, and the pan had whirled about 500 feet over it on to the opposite side.

Producing Ozone. By means of electricity it is now pos- sible to produce ozone in considerable quantities, and its utilization in the arts is constantly increasing. Some of the uses to which it has been put with more or less success are the following: Aging wood for musical instruments, maturing wines and spirits, sweetening foul beer casks, drying and thickening oils, bleaching waxes and fats, seasoning linoleum, bleaching fabrics and yarns and sterilizing drinking water. For a number of the above mentioned pur- poses other oxidizing agents are Avail- able, and the question resolves itself into a discussion of the relative cost of such materials compared with ozone. The industrial applications of ozone will doubtless be confined to processes where manganate of soda, biobromate of soda and ordinary air are employed as the oxidizing agents, and as it is easily ap- plied and does not produce any solid or liquid byproducts its use in the manu- facture of oils, fats and organic chem- icals is sure, to increase.—New York Post.

The Power of Electricity. An interesting experiment in burn- ing steel with electricity is to be tried in Cincinnati in an effort to remove a safety vault that was built 40 years ago.

Two operators will be planed in the,vault, eaob with a carbon attached to a feed wire.

It is surprising to learn from the highest medical authority in England that laughter may be injurious. Laughter in itself, says the British Medical Journal, cannot very well kill, but it may do harm. Hysterical girls and boys with kindred nervous affec- tions are often given to immoderate laughter, which tends to increase nerv- ous -exhaustion. Dr. Feilobenfeld relates an instruo- tive case in whioh a little girl suffered from very definite oardiao symptoms after immoderate laughter. The patient was 18 years old and bad previously been free from any sign of heart dis- ease. After laughing on and off for nearly,an hour with some companions she suddenly felt stabbing pains in the chest and was seized with fits of cough- ing, followed by cardiac dyspnoea, very well marked. Feilohenfeld believes that the cardiac disease directly resulted from immoderate laughing'. • Horseshoes. In Japan most, of the horses are shod with straw. Even the clumsiest of cart horses wear straw shoes, which, in their cases, are tied around the ankle r with straw rope and are made of the ordinary rice straw, braided so as to form a sole for the foot about half an inch think.

The- smaller vil- lages, not given in above list, average much higher than those given. For obvious reasons St. Paul and Minnea- polis are not listed for purposes of comparison. Of all those listed, rang; ing in valuation from $200,000 to $30,000,000, Cloquet and St. Cloud are the only ones that pay as low a school tax as Hastings. All others average from two to three times as high a tax. Further, probably not more than one-half the cities in the list furnish free text books. Hastings does- so. Faulhermore, the high school is the most expensive part of the school, and costs ,pro rata nearly double that of the grades, and not a city in the list has as large a high school in proportion. ,o enrollment as Hastings, and, Ol this 'account, if expenses were on the same scale as in other cities, our rate should exceed that in most other cities. In view of the above facts and statistics, any assertions that our school board is extravagant, or that Hastings can not afford to build a school -house, are without foundation in fact. The valuation of Hastings is $830,000. There are twelve other cities in the state, including "'Coquet with its low rate, with valuations ranging between $750,000 and $1,000,000. The average rate of these twelve cities, ranking with Hastings in wealth, is sixteen mills. Our rate is eight millss( If we were willing to tax osely s at the average rate of these cities, our income would be $6,640 per annum more than it now is. With one large central build- ing we would save $1,000 per year in current expenses. With $7,640 in- creased revenue how long would it require/to pay for a suitablk_school- ho'lse? Ftive years would be suffic- ient. The time has come when we must not only build a school -house, but e must enrich Our course of study along one or two lines, notably along the line of manual training, ifwe are to keep pace with educational progress. This will require moremoney than we are now using, as well as "a new school -house. With a new school- house built with this _ad in view I think manual training could be intro- duced ander supported on the $1,000 saved in current expenses by centrali- zation of work. This would still leave us $6,640 ,to apply annually upon principal and interest of bonded indebtedness, providing we are willing to pay an average school tax. Are we willing? I;Lespectfully, J. H.

Gossip about the capital yesterday was to the effect that the advocates of Hastings and Anoka had united in an effort to prevent the adoption of the county plan of caring for the in- sane, the inference being that both towns might be able to secure a state insane 118spital. The situation is complicated somewhat by the fact that there is now pending in the legis- lature a bill providing for detention hospitals in St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Duluth, which cities contribute a large number of the insane patients. -St. Paul Globe. VI,embers of the legislature inter- est p in the location of the fourth hos 1 or the insane, representative of the Hastings and Anoka interests, have held one or two conferences rel- ative to a proposition to combine against the county plan of caring for the insane, but have taken no action as yet. It is understood that they will favor thecongressional plan as against the county schente with a view to killing the county proposition, and then will try to get a hospital, one in the sixth district and the other in the third, namely, at Anoka and Hast- ings. If this fails it is said that the proposition is to fight it out on the old lines as to which place shall get the fourth hospital. -St. Paul Pioneer Press. Pt. Douglas Items. C. M.

Irvin Shearer had a cake of ice on his foot, -and now he is taking a rest for an indefinite time. The Hastings -Anoka hospital fight was a fruitful source of discussion among some members of the legis- lature to -day. Friends of Anoka have been especially persistent, and it appears that their persistence bids fair to reap some reward. At any rate it has gone so far that at a quiet executive sessi(n at the state capitol it was practically agreed that the friends of all interests should work for a fourth and fifth hospital. The detinsk of the plan have not been fully i4orked out, and it has 'not been decided whether the two delegations, if they complete their alliance, shall oppose all other plans of hospital legislation or whether they will unite with the friends of the colony system, or compromise and work in the inter- est of district hospitals. Whatever plan may be agreed upon, both Anoka and 'Hastings want a good hospital eatch, no small county affair, and they will jointly and severally oppose 'the county system. Of course each town would prefer that there be erected two large hospitals, one in each town, but if this cannot be accomplished they want the third congressional district, and And11'a to have the one for the sixth district. -Minneapolis Times. . It is said that Anoka and Hastings have gbne into cahoots and will try to work the legislature for an insane hospitalr each. Neither will be a large one to starts with, but will be the beginning of an institution accommo- dating in the end as many people as Rochester or St. Peter. The claim is made that before either of the propos- ed new institutions is completed the state will have need for it, judging from tile rate of increase in the insane population for a good many years. The total appropriation to be asked for, should the deal finally go through, will riot be larger than would be ask- ed for by either place singly. First of all, however, the friends of both Hastings and Anoka must unite to defeat the county and colony plans, the former of which was recommend- ed by the governor in his message. This done, the main question can then be taken up with some hope of favorable action. A great mass of data is in the hands of members already, showing that the county plan is not a success, and that old states of the east, notably New York and Pennsylvania, which. adopted it years ago, were glad enough to abandon it after a trial. -Minneapolis Journal._ Empire Items.

JlanoxE HANNA and Family. l The proposition to build two asy- lums for the insane -one at Anoka and one at Hastings -has much merit in it, aside from the consum- mation of a peaceful compromise between the two warring towns. The county hospital plan cannot well be made practicable in this state, and the establishment of two such insti- tutions as those proposed for Anoka and Hastings seems to offer the best solution of the problem yet presented. Two such institutions, constructed on the cottage plan, could be added to from time to time as the insane popu- lation increased, and the additions could be made without disarrange- ment of the original plan. The county hospital plan has not been a decided success, even in thickly set- tled New York, and it would be less so in this state. where in many of the sparsely settled counties it would be impossible to secure either good medical attendance or proper care for the ailing. The best feature of the proposed plan is that it places an in- stitution within easy reach of each .of the cities, and makes them the nucleus of hospitals that may be built up with the requirements of the future, and that at no greater ex- pense than would be involved in -one with the same facilities. Really the compromise proposition looks like an inspiration, and should satisfy not only the citizens of Anoka and Hast- ings, bet those of the state at large as well. -St. Paul Dispatch.

The new superinten ent is a graduate of the state univer tty, class of 1878, and, while said to be persona non grata to the state educational associa- tion, may be expected to institute some reforms- that may be to the state's advantage. -Hutchinson Times. Supt. J. H. Lewis, of the Hastings public schools, has been appointed state superintendent `of public in- struction. The fact that Prof. Lewis has been superintendent of the Hast- ings schools continuously ever since 1878 is strong evidence of his fitness for the place. He is an able educator, and will undoubtedly prove to be a capable and satisfactory state official. -Northfield Independent. • Rea*..lgstate Transfers. E. C.

Mr. Lewis, who has been for a long term of years superintendent of the schools at Hastings, is admitted to be an edu- cator ofanaarked ability, as well as an outspoken, unflinching democrat, but it is claimed that he is far frompopu- lar among thi. members of the state educational association.-h1intte,•.ttol;t Times. Gov. Lind sprang a surprise upon the senators in the matter of appoint- ments. It had been given out that the appointments of E. S. Corser and Mr. Mosier as surveyors general were to be expected, as well as those of Capt. Lambert for adjutant general, and Dr. Daniels upon the insane hos- pital board, but when he included in the list the name of J. H. Lewis, Dakota County, to succeed W. W. Pendergast as superintendent of pub- lic instruction, there were very few prepared for the n ws. Mr. Lewis' appointment, hower, is in line with the news forecasted by The Tribune Monday, in which it was stated that Farnsworth's chances were practically wiped out because of opposition in the ranks of the people of the state. Mr. Lind was determined to steer clear of all petty strifes if possible, and Mr. Lewis will be the one to profit thereby. -Minneapolis Tribune. DEFECTIVE PAGE r .1 '-5 Our Public Schools. The retirement of Prof. J. H. Lewis from the superintendency of our public schools, after a faithful service of nearly twenty-one years, leaves a vacancy which will be very hard to fill. It is not yet decided when he will enter upon the higher duties to which he has so recently been appointed, but the board has arranged with Prof. E. J. Freeman, late of the normal school at Winona, to continue the work until the close of the present school year, when a successor will be elected. Thr high standing which the Hastings schools have so long enjoyed will be main- tained in the future as in the past. Minor Topics. D. F. Akin was in from Lakeville yesterday. C. L.

During the epidemic of la grippe a few years ago when so many cases"resulted in pneumonia, it was observed that the attack was never fol- lowed by that disease when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used. It counteracts any tendency of a cold or la grippe to re- sult in that dangerous disease. It is the best remedy is the, world for bad colds and la grippe. Every bottle warranted. For sale by J. G.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting direetiy upon the b.r,od and mucous surfaces of the sys- tem, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting na- ture in'loing its work.

A STOLEN KISS. • "My dear Leslie," said Sir Henry Seymour to his ward, "Is do wish you • would try to les a little less fast. Every ono is talking about you, and it is very painful to me." "My dear guardy," said the young lady -he addressed, a vary pretty girl about 18, "what have I done? Just mention some of my sins and I will try to reform." "Well," said Sir Henry, "to begin with, you are much too fond of using slang expressions; I am sure yQu...do not mean any harm, dear, but it does not sound well. I wish you would adopt a me ladylike manner, like those nice, quiet girls, Colouel Bond's daughters. I assure you, Leslie, men do not care for fast girls, hower much they may flirt with them, and confess I should like to see you well married." "Now, my dear Sir Henry," said Les- lie coaxingly, "tell me, did you ever hear me say anything the least weeny bit improper?" "Certainly not, my dear child." "Then let me tell you those nice, quiet, ladylike girls you admire so much ray things that would make your hair stand on end. If you could only hear how they go on when we are by uulfelves! I should be quite ashamed," she added, with energy, "even to think of the things they discuss freely—in- deed I cut them whenever I can. As for marrying—really, all the young men I know are such muffs or prigs I detest the who a lot. What is my next crime?" "You oke cigarettes Leslie," said 1 . was to you her carol n stern I g yJ w were actually seen with one ween your lips out of doors the other ht." Leslie hung down her head a little, and then said, with a slight blush: "I cannot deny I tried one once, and indeed it was so nasty and made me feel so ill that I assure you I am not likely to do it again." "I asn.glad to bear it. So you think all young men muffs or prigs? I hope to introduce you to one who answers neither description. You have of course heard of Captain Murray?". "Do you mean the Captain Murray who gained the Victoria cross for de- fending that fort so gallautly in the last campaign? Of course I remember all about him. Why?" "He is coaling home, and being the eon of an old friend h has promised to pay me a visit, anxpect him shortly." ` 1 :1 T. .:..,.15 1: _3 to meet a real hero. I hope he is hand- some." "Douglas Murray was a very good looping lad, but you will not suit him, young lady. fie abhors 'fast girls' and is very faecidious." ""all, I shall survive his disappro- hation, I dare say. Amy will suit him s a T, she is such a demure little louse." And Miss Lindsay took her- lf off. In due time Captain Murray arrived. 'eslie Lindsay was disappointed. She .,uld hardly believe that quiet, unas- suming young man could be the hero vho had startled the whole civilized, world into admiration. To her guard - :'s great annoyance she seemed to es a point of showing herself in her •rst colors, and when Sir Henry asked __- whether she thought Captain Mur- ' a prig or a muff she declared he s both. . One very hot day in July Leslie and • Henry's daughter, Amy Seymour, -e returning from making a call. e drawing room windows opened on e veranda, which was covered with t-„stxuriant creepers. It looked very cool ,id pleasant inside on such a sultry day. The two girls were about to enter the room when Leslie, who was in ad- vance, suddenly drew back and pointed inside. Amy peeped in. There was Cap- tain Murray fast asleep in an armchair near the window. " What a chance, Amy, for me to win a pair of gloves!" "For shame, Leslie! You snrely would not thiuk of such a thing." "Who's afraid?" said Leslie. "Be - des, ho is really fast asleep and will o'er know, and the temptation is too +soh for me. Consider, the hero the ,,a,lole world raves about," and with a schievous look at Amy she stepped 'lltly in and dropped a kiss as light a puff of thistledown upon the sleep- 's -forehead. As the sound of ' the girl's retreating otete s died away, p w y, Douglas Murray lened his eyes and, smiling to himself, lid: - "I suppose that is considered a fast 1. I must confess I like her, and be- e she is really true and womanly. It fast manner is all humbug. I must forget to pay my debt, however," he laughed. "She thinks me al( tI, I know. Never mind, that kiss very nice—I forgive her." 'ear or two afterward as they were eakfast, Sir Henry said: rgot, Leslie, bee is something " handing her a small packet, "Parcel Post." s can it be, I wonder?" she out the string, "the hand - is quite strange to me," and about to open it quite uncon- ly, when Amy remarked: is ju 't the shape of a glove box." ie, tasted and looked guiltily':, t table at Captain Murray, 0, however, going on with his Ast. took off the paper wrapper and ered a white box—it did look hor- ike a glove box, Leslie thought, lifted the cover—and, yes, inside everal pairs of dainty kid gloves of rent shades. ping nobody noticed bora/infusion, .lot daring to look across the table, vas replacing the cover of the box, when Captain Murray said very coolly: ' " "I always pay my debts, Miss Lind- say; I do not like to feel under an obli- gation. Hastily seizing her parcel, Leslie rose, and, murmuring something to Sir Henry about not feeling very well, she flew up stairs and locked herself into her room, where she had a good cry. After a little time she took a look at the glo, os. "Just my size. I wonder how he knew. And six buttons! And how pret- ty theyare! He is not quite such a 'prig, latter all, but it makes no differ- ence to me now. He dislikes me, I know, and I wish he was gone." And then si had another good cry. Sir Ha ary Seymour had no reason to complain of his ward's conduct for the next few days; but she avbided Captain Murray, who tried in vain to get a chance of speaking to her. One morning, however, fortune fa- vored slim. He was in the garden, and Leslie was wafting toward him. She was quite unoonscions of his proximity, and they must meet in a moment more. When she caw him standing near, she lifted her sweet blue eyes to his with a wistful, half beseeching glance. "Miss Lindsay," said Douglas, "shake hands with me, please. I am afraid I took a most unfair advantage of you. Pray forgive me, and let us be friends." "Oh, Captain Murray, I do feel so awfully ashamed of myself! What must you thick of me?" "Shall I tell you what I think of yon, darling?" as he gently drew her toward him. "I think you a dear, sweet, lov- able girl, and if you can put up with such a muff as I am as a husband"— "Oh, `please, don't!" said Leslie, in- terrupting him. "Do not remind me of my impertinence. You are much too good for me; but, indeed," with great earnestness, "I will never do it again!" "I call'\that positively unkind, I as- sure you," said he laughing. "I do not care how many times you repeat the operation"— .j Leslie has been Mrs. Murray now some years, but her husband has never regretted he married a fast girl, while she declares she has found from experi- -ence "all men are not either prigs or muffs." --London News Curbing Emotion. We hove all seen the man with so diplomatic a countenance that an earth- quake would hardly produce any change in bis imperturbable face. We are apt to infer that these sphinxlike persons never feel emotion, whereas they do not betray their feelings like the generality of people. Columns have been written about the impassiveness of Disraeli's expression. A German philosopher onco went to Berlin for the sole purpose of studying his character and discovered whLt every one had searched for in vain. "Like all men," wrote the keen observer, "he has one sign of emotion which never fails to show itself, the movement of the leg that is crossed and the foot." - But if there was ever -->l< man of "iron self control" that man was Lockhart, the famous biographer. He formed the idea in youth that it was unmanly to make any violent display of joy or grief, auu,ne succ000en so well in reprinting his feeli: gs that when he grew up he could no:: show them. When bis brother and sister died within a few days of each other, Lockhart did not ory or oth- erwise relieve his deep and terrible feel- ings, and the consequence was that he became so ill that his life was in jeopar- dy. Coal Burned by Steamships. The amount of coal consumed by a vessel during a voyage depends very largely upon the speed, for the con- sumption of coal increases almost in a geometrical ratio to the speed. There are many ships which burn from 100 to 300 tons of coal per day, the lowest con- sumption being when the vessel is going at a moderate rate. Our men-of-war do not consume so much in proportion as swift passenger steamers which ply be- tween Europe and America, for unless in an emergency they are nft driven at the highest attainable speed. The ocean passenger steamers often burn from 2,500 to 3,500 tons during a passage lasting six to seven days. "A Good Pulpit Sweat." The plan who preaches with his en- tire powers finds the body and mind and heart are all exercised. Other than that which he used in his painting room, it is said, Sir Joshua Reynolds took no exercise. He walked about the picture on his easel, and his whole mind and heart went out toward it. Whitefield in his homely way commended to his brethren in the ministry "a good pulpit sweat" as the best medicine. A sermon is an athletic exercise as well as a drain on the soul and spirit. Virtue goes out of the preacher just in proportion as he is a close follower of his divine Master. —Homiletic Review. The Sunflower. In 1842 a - Russian farmer named Bokareff conceived the idea of extract- ing oil from the seed of the sunflower. His neighbors told him it was a vision- ary idea, and that he would' have his labor for his pains. He persevered, how- ever, -and from that fumble beginning the industry has expanded to enormous proportions. Today more than 7,000,000 acres of land in Russia are devoted to the cultivation of the sunflower. Two kinds are grown, one with small seeds, which are crushed for oil, and the other with larger seeds, that are consumed by the poorer simple in enormous quanti- ties. Home For Needy Jews.

I • Row Doctors Differ. "For ten solid years," said a New Orleans broker, "I lived in perpetual apprehension of sudden death. A doc- tor in Texas told me—confound his pie- tare—that I had valvular heart disease, and if I wanted to stay on earth I mast avoid every species. of excitement. I did my best to follow his advice, but that miserable specter was at my elbow day and night and embittered my whole existence. I don't believe I am a cow- ard, but the thought preyed on me un- til I began to fear for my sanity. "At last, after all these years of in- finite precaution, I went to a first cls specialist to find out how much long I'd last and was assured that I hadn't one single symptom of the malady. Talk about removing a mountain from a man ! That assurance knocked off an en- tire range. It changed the color of the universe in a twinkling, and I was so happy I wanted to just throw up my bat and yell. "That was a copple of years ago, and I have enjoyed myself tiptop ever siuce up to one day last we when I hap- pened to be chatting with the specialist and remarked that I'd like to murder that sawbones in Texas. 'I don't blame you,' he said. 'That man had no right to tell you that you had heart disease. If I had found you right at death's door, I certainly would never have let yon know it.' Now, by Jove, I don't know who or what to believe and am drifting back to the old state of uncertainty. I wish I lived in a cannibal island and had never heard of doctors."—New Or- leans Times -Democrat. Mille and Mathematics. When Thomas drove up to deliver the usual quart of white mixture, the gentleman of the house kindly inquired, "Thomas, how many quarts of milk do you deliver daily to your customers?" "Ninety-one, sir." "And how many cows have you?" "Nine, sir." The gentleman made some remarks about an early winter and the state of the roads, and then asked, "Thomas, how much milk per day do your cows average?" "Seven quarts, sir." "Ab, um !" said the gentleman, as he moved off. Thomas looked after him, scratched his head, and all at once grew pale as he pulled out a short pencil and began to figure on the wagon cover: "Nine cows is nine, and I set down seven quarts under the cows and multiply. That's 63 quarts of milk. I told him I sold 91 quarts per f'::y. Sixty-three from 91 leaves 28 ae d none to carry. Now, where do I get the rest of the milk?

Many Londoners have visited the Italian district, which lies in the neigh- borhood of Theobald's road and Hatton Garden, and some with inquiring minds have strolled up ;Leather lane and watched the Italian ice cream venders and fortune telling women with pretty lone birds, inteamiu&led s:ttb the. dirty, noisy, street hawkers, common to all London slums. It is amazing to learn how these Italians crowd together in the poky little houses of the courts and alleys. Generally a house is hired by an old padrone, who sublets to as many of bis countrymen as he can respectably squeeze in. The cellars are utilized as sleeping apartments, and in the morn- ing as many as 20, even 30, men will emerge from the bowels of the earth, blinking and winking in the daylight after a night spent in the cellars under one small dwelling bonse. A whole family, consisting of a husband and wife and eight or nine fanciulli of vari- ous ages, often sleep in one small gar- ret or cellar.—Ludgate Magazine. A Crusher. Legge, bishop of Oxford, who bad not youth as his excuse -for his vanity, asked his friend Canning to corse and hear his first episcopal sermon. They dined together afterward, and from the politician's silence the other ought to have known better than to push him, but being rather nettled he exclaimed, "Canning, you have said nothing to me about my sermon." "Well, it was short." "Oh," said the bishop, "it is better to be short than tedious." "But," replied Canning, "you were that too." Athletic Missionaries. Two -English home missionary work - ere were recently introduced by the Rev. A. J.

SAILING A SALLOON. 111bw Aeronaut - Percival Spencer Crossed the Enillsh Channel. Percival Spencer, aeronaut, and H. Lawrence Swinburne, the dispatches say, have crossed the English channel in a steering balloon. The trip began at the Crystal palace, he London, at 11:38 e. Eli. and closed at St. Romain de Oolbosc, 14 miles east of Havre, at 8:45 p. m. the same day. This feat is something never before accomplished in a steering balloon, says the New York World. It is a develop- ment of the theories held by Andree in his voyage for the north pole. Mr. Spencer has devoted years to ascents in balloons and long been con- sidering means of steering his ascents. The trouble is this: A balloon is not like a sailboat when there is a breeze. One steers a boat by means of, a rudder, a balloon by the sail, be- cause there is the frio- tion of the water against the hull and the opposing force of the wind on the sail. `]'hese lines are called the lines of force and resistance. But there is no resistance in the case of the balloon. When a balloon sails through the air, it is like a log floating with the current. Rudders had been tried on bal- loons, and they hadn't worked. d. Thu reason ‘L/NE OfFF_QEL a AN.B/_kECT/ON Ar rNE Wig;,fit( pa dope 4RAw- Q4A til .' ECT/ar /:p{AtYkA/y �a JNE W/ND 6evAissy A? - .

It doesn't change its direction. If you put up a sail on both sides, you stop going around as if you were on a ball bearing office chair. It seemed dif- ficult 'o bit upon anything which would make the balloon ohange its course. Andrea claimed he could do it. He never came baok to say whether -he had done it or not, but Percival Spenoer bas proved the valve of Andree's theory. Andree said, "If I could only getaa rudder to the balloon." Finally he let the anchor rope drag as a rudder and by keeping that in one position while he turned his "balloon jib" at an angle to the wind he oould direct his course. Mr. Spender tried it, as shown in the accompanying out. A balloon is about like an overturned fish net. There is the hoop which holds the meshes and the meshes which Lold the gas hag. The car or basket hangs from the hoop. Two pulleys were made fast .to the hoop above the car. Then below the oar two "sheet" ropes attached to the rud- der rope passed through these pulleys and fastened on cleats at the side of the basket. On the opposite side of the balloon from the rudder rope a sail 12 feet square, stretched on bamboo rods, was fastened to the meshes of the balloon and the hoop. The rudder rope was 500 feet long. see Mr. Spencer's first ascent was at Crystal palace, in London. He floated with the wind until became to the out- skirts of the oity and then let out his drag rope. Immediately there was' a breeze. There had been none before. That showed that they were going slower than the surrounding air. They lowered the balloon until 250 feet of rope trailed on the ground. Carious Transference of Rent. A correspondent of Nature, who is associated with the observatory at Ton - louse, calls attention to a vary singular phenomenon, the scientiflo explanation of which he sees Take a bar of iron in the hand by one end and plunge the other end'in the fire, heating it strong- ly, but not so much that the band can- not retain its bold. Then plunge the heated end in a pail of cold water. Im- mediately the end field by the band be- comes so hot that rt is impossible to re- tain it in the fingers. This phenomenon, said by the correspondent to be familiar to workmen in 'iron, is ascribed -by them to some repellent action - which they suppose the sudden cold to exert upon the beat contained in the iron, which is thus driven to the opposite extremity No Corsets I Russia. Hereafter the won ei of Russia must do without oorsete.

Years ago, when Clemenceau was the mayor of Martre and at the same time a dep ry, he opened a dispensary in the quartet, where advice was given free, for Ciemenoeau is a specialist in skin diseases. One day he noticed that he had just one hour in which to get his luncheon and go down to the chamber, where he had to interpellate the gov- ernment. He called his assistant and said, "How many more patients tire there waiting?" "Six," replied the man. One after the other had his oase diag- nosed, and Clemenceau, after another glance at his watch, said, "Tell the other two to undress at once, as I have only two more minutes to wait." One entered, and Clemenoeau wrote out a prescription in the twinkling of an eye. The last man name in as naked as the day when he was born. Clemenceau eyed him for a minute and then said: "Yon are suffering from no skin dis- ease. What have yon come here to worry me for?" The man looked at him aghast for a minute and replied: "Skin disease? I never said I had a skin disease. Your man came in and told me to undress, M. le Depute, and I did so. All I want- ed to ask yon was to use your influence to get my sister a plaoe in the post - offices in Algeria." Clemenceau smiled, took his name and did use his influence.—Today. How Far Can Quail Fly; A number of sportsmen have been discussing the question of how far a quail can fly. There are a good many contingencies to be considered in arriv- ing at a definite conclusion of the ques- tion, the which outs no inconsiderable figure in the distance one of these birds can fly. If there is a stiff wind blow- ing and the bird's course is with the wind, a full grown quail could certain- ly go more than a mile with ease and doubtless a much greater distance. Those who have noticed quail trying to fly across the Missouri river, where the distance is about a mile, recall that not all the birds make the trip safely. They usually pick a spot where they can make a bait on a sand bar in mid- stream, and thus cross the river in two flights. Bat sometimes they make the distance at a single flight, and this seems to be their full limit under nor- mal conditions, for when they alight they are completely exhausted. It is generally believed that on an average a mile is about the limit of the flight of a quail where it is neither fa- vored nor retarded by the wind. It hap- pens very often that in crossing the Missouri river et a single -flight quail drop exhausted into the voter. Proba- bly tbeee are young birds.—St. Louis Republic. Raising His Fare. A certain board school teacher is re- sponsible for the following little story, which is not withent its pathetic side. He was endeavoring to explain the term "hooking" as applied to our rail- way sy: tela. - "Now," he was saying, "can any of you te,1 me the name of the office at which ra i' way tickets are sold?" "The booking office," replied one of the lads. "Right," responded the teacher. At this moment his eye fell on a small boy at the end of the class, who was evidently paying very little atten- tion to what was said. - "Did you hear that, Dowser?" he demanded. " Wot, sir?" asked that youth inno- cently. "As I thought, you were not listen- ing. We will suppose that your father decided to have a day's holiday and visit the seaside. What would he have to do before he could take his seat in the train?" Without a moment's thought the youngster electrified his teacher by re- plying, "Pawn his tools. "—London Standard. An Odd Collection. One of the most remarkable collec- tions of souvenirs ever made is a oolleo- tion of male opera hats by one of the actresses of a London company. She owns no fewer than 216 of these arti- cles, for it was her whim to make every young man who was introduced, to her. give her bis opera hat as a souvenir. She not only keeps them in their pris- tine condition, but converts them into all sorts of other things, such as photo- graph frames, workbaskets, and some are even used for tL purpose of bolding flowerpots. Golden Silence. A man who once met Ralph Waldo Emerson at the house of a friend tells of the characteristio way in which the Concord philosopher blunted the edge of a compliment. "Ob, Mr. Emerson," said a young woman of the party, "it must be so de- lightful to know that people all over the country are grateful for the things you have said!" "Thank you," said Emerson slowly, "but it is for some of the things I have not said that I feel most grateful." A Story of George IV.

The Mad Poet's Retort. Many stories are told of McDonald Clarice, known 50 years ago in New York as the "Mad Poet," which:show that he bad a vein of great shrewdness, such as is often possessed by people who are counted insane. One day he was seated at a table in a New York hotel quietly eating his sim- ple dinner when two young men took their seats at the same table. They were not geptlemen in the best senee of the word, and it occurred to them that they might have some sport with the poor poet. Consequently one of them said in an unnecessarily clear tone: "I have seen almost everything and everybody in New York except McDon- ald Clarke. I have a great admiration for his poems, and I would give a great deal to see the man." When he paused, the madppet leaned forward and said with evidebt gratifica- tion: ratification: "Sir, I am McDonald Clarke, whom you say you wish to see." The young man stared at him with much rudeness for a moment, and then, drawing a quarter from his pocket, he laid it on the poet's plate, saying, "That's for the sight!" Clarke looked at the coin for an in- stant, and then, placing it in his pocket, be took out a " York shilling," 12S cents: This he handed to the young man, saying gravely, "Children half prise.

Some of Cameron's possessions proved unduly attractive to a native, and be determined on transferring the owner- ship to himself. fie accordingly paid another native $200 to procure for him the -coveted goods. The assistant took the money and did his best to earn it, but Mr. Cameron had perversely locked up the very arti- cles that the fellow's employer had set his heart upon. The man could not car- ry out his bargain, and neither did be feel that be could part with the money. Therefore he ran off with it. What more logical than that the man who was the loser by $200 should expect the explorer to make the loss good? This he assuredly did expect. He went to Mr. Cameron and told ]rim the story, demanding in the first place the $200 which he, Cameron, by locking up his goods, had compelled the complainant to lose, and, secondly, the actual price of the goods themselves, which, but for these arbitrary measures, would now have been in bis possession. It is not stated that his expectations were realized. —Watchman. Sterne'■ Destitution. Laurence Sterne, the writer, was the victim of the intensest poverty. A little time before his death, being in a state of destitution, he went one evening to borrow £5 from- bis friend Garrick. Upon arriving, he heard music and knew that a party was going on. He beard the merry laughter, and, gently replacing the uplifted knocker, retraced bis steps. We never feel our miseries so keenly as when contrasted with the joys of others, and it is only then that we re- alize Wordsworth's picture: And homeless near a thousand homes I stood Aud near a thousand tables pined for food. Another story of this writer does not evoke so much sympathy. It was known that Sterne used his wife very i11, and in talking with Garrick one day in fine sentimental style of conjugal love and fidelity he said, "The husband who be- haves unkindly to his wife deserves to have bis house burn down over bis head." "If you think so," said Garrick quietly, "I bope yours is well insured." A Malay Sultan's Letter. In the cover there were three inolo- sures—a formal letter of extreme polite- ness, written by a scribe; secondly, a letter written in my friend's own band; and thirdly, another paper, beaded, "Hidden Secrets," written also in the sultan's own band. At the top of the first page of the second letter is writ- ten, "Our friendship is sealed in the inmost recesses of my heart." Then this, "I send this letter to my honored and renowned friend" (here follow my name, designation and some conven- tional compliments). The letter then continues: "You, my dear friend; are never out of my thoughts, and they are always wishing you well. I hear that you are coming to see me, and for that reason my heart is exceedingly glad, as though the moon had fallen into my lap or I bad been given a cluster of flowers grown in the garden called Benjerana Sri, wide opening under the influence of the sun's warm rays.

It Haas Existed For Generations and Has Three Hundred Inhabitants. There Are No Taxes, No Constables and No Criminals There. Halting$ is a little village seated amid the White mountains on the boundary between Maine and New Hampshire, and is the most unique in New England, perhaps in the civilized world. It contains 300 inhabitants within the village proper, with as Many more at work cutting and hauling lumber to the village from the slopes of the sur- rounding mountains. It has two large manufacturing industries, large store and boarding honed% 26 residences, postoffice, electric plant, lighted streets, etc., railroad, telephone, excellent water system and sewerage—in short, as many modern conveniences as any village of its size in MANY England. Yet it is nei- • ther city, town, plantation nor even an incorporated place. It is nothing. Its inhabitants pay no taxes of alb sort. Babies have been bora here, have grown to manhood and become heads of families and never known what it ivas to pay one cent for taxes. There are, of course, a wild land tax and a -state tax on the mill property, but these are paid by nonresidents and are something with which the inhabit- ants have nothing to do. On the other hand, no inhabitant can. vote. They are, as a rule, well educated,- the oily papers have a large circulation and the people are wellposted in current events. Yet here, in the very heart of New England, is a community who havn,no more voice or influence in national, state, county or town affairs than though they lived in the heart of Rus- sia. Here are gray hatred American citizens who have never cast a ballot, and cannot so long as they live here. It is the most cosmopolitan village in New England. Every nation on earth is or has been represented here. The most remarkable thing about this most remarkable place is the entire absence of crime. Notwithstanding this heterogeneous population there are no police, not even a constable., There was a sort of constable ',sere, but his com- mission expired, .and his duties had been solight he did not consider it worth his while to renew it. Here is the only tillage in the `United States to which there is no carriage ' 1 r acs. T�e only weep" , of trap r � tat,. or from the onvida world is b railroad. ,This railroa 1tarts at Gil ad and follows that valley of tilt/Wild diver along a route so narrow that in any places there is barely room for the rails. On every other side of the village are mountains so steep that even a footman can climb their sides only with diffi- culty and so high that the sun is visible' only part of the day. When this railroad was first built a few persons ventured to drive a carriage over the ties. But it proved so difficult and dangerous that this met4iad of reaching the village has be aban- doned. This railroad is one of the wonders of New England. It penetrates 14 miles into the wildest defiles of the White mountains. A ride upon it is a new ex- perience, even to a traveler who has visited every country upon the globe. ton follow the sinuous Wild river, whirling aroundcurves of 40 degrees, where_ it seems impossible for a train to go. You climb the sides of mountains at an elevation of 400 feet to the mile, where •a horse could scarcely go and could not haul a load; you shoot down 7leclivities which are almost precipices, where a break in the machinery means death. Once the train did run away and was smashed. killing the trainmen. It is a freight road, not usually taking passengers. Here was the first successful experi- ment of hauling logs by rail upon a large scale in New England, and upon this road was used the first patent gear- ed lac motive for mountain climbing in the east. • The school is another unique feature. The schoo}}h�ousd was -built in 1892 by the two/ompanies who operate here, and the eacher is paid by a contribu- tion from each workman of 10 cents a month. Thea is taken from each man's wages each pay day, and is enough to pry ,for about 35 weeks of school a year. This territory was granted to Ri Batchelder by the state of Massachu- setts about 10`0 years ago. Forty year ago G. A. Hastings of Bethel and D. B. Hastings of Fryeburg bought 20,609 acres here, practically the whole regfon. In 1891 they sold the right of way through their territory, the mill site t the village and 20 acres to the Wild iver Lumber company of Island Ponds, Vt. This company pur- chased at he same time 40,000 acres of timber in Bean's purchase, just across ' the :� ew Hampshire line. They put in the big steam mill, store, most of the houses, the electric system, water system, sewers, etc. They cut their timlr at Bean's purchase and haul it by rail to their steam mill here, which saws 65,000 feet a day when run to its full capacity. Carl Storrs may be termed the father of the settlement, as he holds every public office so satisfactorily that no other man has been thought of in con- nection with the positions. a • FADS OF DIET.

The-beiI:B the fi ..ra. essential point of care in a hygienic diet, a second. like unto it in import - once, claims consideration—namely, what to eat. The number of people who today are living upon an artificial or at least a very restricted diet are legion. There are scores of magazines devoted to dietetic and hygienic subjects solely. Culinary magazines, one and all, devote p of their space to what one may not ea with elaborate disquisitions as to the "why, " contradicting each other with delightful frankness and emphasis. Newspapers rush in with odds and ends or whole columns of dietetic wisdom to rescue humanity's stomach. Clubs dis- cuss the important typic. Mothers' so- cieties revel in it.

The Goliath, the latest to leave the stooks, when fitted with her full armament will be able to project a shot at the rate of seven tons per minute.

Cromwell legends are so ubiquitous in England that it is a real relief to lay one's hand upon a bit of solid fact re- lating either to the protector or bis family. Elizabeth, the second and fa- vorite daughter of Cromwell, married John Claypole of Northbaarongb, and appears to have spent a tronsiderable portion of her 12 years of wedded life in his substantial fourteenth century house. Carlyle asserts Elizabeth Clay - pole to have been "a graceful, brave and amiable woman," and of her home that it is "now ruined—patched into a farmhouse." The second statement is not charac- terized by his usual aocnrsoy, and the first probably needs some modification, for Elizabeth Claypole is credited with some turning of ber head over her fa- ther's elevation, and at a wedding feast is reported to have exclaimed, when asked why the wives of the major generals were absent, "I'll warrant you, washing their dishes at home, as they used to do.", Not a particularly "amiable" sentence that. Cromwell seems to have had some insight of ber little weakness. "Tell her," he wrote once, "to take heed of a departing heart and of beim cozened with worldly vanities and worldly com- pany, which, I doubt, she is too subject to." It is agreed by most authorities that John Claypole himself was little enough of a Puritan, but let it stand to his credit that, after Oliver died, he provided a haven for his widow for the rest of her life in this manor house.— Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. by a metal frame. It is one of. these lit- tle mirrors, bearing on the back of the frame a plate with the Greek inscrip- tion, "I am beauty," that M. Berthelot has pronounced to be a votive offering to the divinities of the rustic temple. It exhibits no particle of amalgam or tin, no metal but pure lead. In 1895-7, in the researches institut- ed by the Guimet museum among the ruins of the Egyptian city of Arsine, four burial places were discovered be- longing to different periods—Roman, Byzantine and Copt. Here again, among many mirrors lined with lead,' M. Berthelot examined two distinct types. One cisbibitod a plaster frame of pen- tagonal form, with a sort of triangular pediment,cath 'i is imbeddedthe convex le lined mirror. All around it irregular fragments of glass are in- serted into the plaster as if for orna- mentation. Whether this coarse mirror was intended for the toilet table or for some other purpose does not appear. The second type was found in a By- zantine tomb—a mirror in the hands of a very young girl. It is quite elegant and somewhat similar to the one taken from the Thracian temple—a convex glass mbl�arar,, lined with lead and set with a sohuewhat elaborate metal frame. It is more brilliant than the other and reflects very accurately. In fact, it is evident that the manu- facture of glass mirrors lined with lead extended throughout the Roman em- pire, from Gaul and Thrace into Egypt. These mirrors are brilliant and reflect clearly, but they are affected by damp- ness. Their fabrication continued through the middle ages, according to Vincent de Beauvais, "until the fifteenth century, when the discovery of the properties of tin amalgam made it pos- sible to apply the cold metal to plane surfaces and to give the glass sufficient solidity and thickness to permit of its perfect polishing, at the same time that it could be cut regularly by means of the diamond. The old method of cover- ing glass with lead still lingers in Italy, and they sell in Florence today little mirrors closely resembling those of an- tiquity, with the difference that they are flat, thicker and more brilliant. The mirror is the object that offers the greatest resistance to the centuries, from its birth at the dawn of civiliza- tion. On the mirror of Sofia may be read for perhaps the hundred thou- sandth time, "I am beauty." Perhaps, after all, the\first mirror was invented by Evel—Paris Annales Politique. Barbers on the Ocean. One of the most important persons on board a well equipped ocean liner is the barber. If he is gifted with a good busi- ness instinct, he is in a position to make a good deal of money. To the average man shaving while at sea is a difficult and hazardous opera- tion,. He therefore calls into requisition the services of the ship's barber, a man who by long training is qualified to wield the razor with skill and safety, no matter how much the vessel rolls or pitches. He is always one of the most heavily "tipped" officials on the ship. If the ship travels on a route with interesting ports of pall, the ship's barber makes it his business to lay in a stock of native knickknacks and curios of all kinds. The inexperienced traveler is natu- rally a little suspicious of the native peddlers who swarm on board with their wares directly the ship is at anchor. He prefers to purchase bis mementos of foreign travel of the barber, who, hav- ing rpt tag bought his eottali fat wttu wa ell, is able to retail the various articles to passengers at prices little if at all high- er than those charged by the native tradesman.—Exchange. A Famous Piano Teacher at Work. "In the room where the work goes on are two grand pianos, one for Lesche- tizky and one for the pupil," writes Cleveland Moffett, telling of "The Man Who Taught Paderewski," in The La- dies' Honie Journal. "Sometimes the vorbereiter comes with the pupil and stones:; -:,cekly by for directions as to instrn c .:ng ; sometimes the pupil comes alone. The pupil bows in salutation and places the piece to be played upon the professor's piano,. never failing to slip underneath the sheets an envelope containing 15 florins ($6), which is ' Leschetizky's fee per lesson. "Then the pupil begins playing from memory, while the professor follows along with the notes, interrupting con- stantly to show by practical illustration how this or that passage should be ren- dered, this or that fault overcome and making his explanations always in vig- orous words, either German or French, A Bash Woman. Close to the wagon we met a bush woman. one of Indowyoka's people, re- duced by starvation to the most emaci- ated and pitiable condition. Her hus- band had been killed by lions some days before, though she herself had escaped with her life. On her back and shoul • ders were the marks where the same lion had ripped away great strips of flesh. Long clots of blood had dried on ber body : the wounds had not even been washed. I gave her some meat. which she seized upon and at once ate ravenously. The bones were almost through her filthy skin; her little beady eyes set close together ander a low. re- treating forehead, her flattened nose and large protruding lips, concealing what little chin she possessed. gave her a look most uncanny and repellent. Altogether more like an animal than a human being. she seemed to me the lowest type . of womankind that it has ever been my fate to look on.

The first member of the reformed par- liament reproved by the chair for un- seemly language was Daniel O'Connell, the great Irish agitator. The incident, which occurred in the first week of the meeting of the house of commons, is also remarkable for having evoked from the speaker a definite ruling on an interest- ing constitutional point. The speech from the throne called attention, among other things, to the insecurity of life and properly in Ireland, and asked for coercive measures for the repression of crime. In the course of the debate O'Connell characterized the speech from the throne as "brutal and bloody." Lord John Russell at once moved that the words be taken down. "Oh!" ex- claimed O'Connell, "when we speak of Ireland and her wrongs it must be "In bondsman's key, With bated breath and whispering humble- ness." Lord John Russell objected to the word "blogdy" being applied to a speech which had, only a few days pre- vkihsly, been delivered by the king— William IV—in person in the house of lords. O'Connell insisted that it was not the speech of the king, but the speech of the ministers. The speaker agreed with the Honorable and learned member on the constitutional point, but informed him that his language was not calculated to preserve order and de- cency of debate. The "bloody and brutal Whigs" subsequently became a popular phrase with O'Connell in his speeches in Ireland. —Nineteenth Century. The First John Jacob Astor. Although Mr. Astor had led a life mainly devoted to business interests. he found great pleasure in the society of literary men, says Mrs. Julia Ward Howe in The Atlantic. Dr. Cogswell made his home with us for some years after the closing of his famous school, but finally went to reside with Mr. As- tor, attracted partly by the latter's promise to endow a public ' library in the city of New York. This was accom- plished after some delay, and the doc- tor was for many .years director of the Astor library.. He used to relate some humorous anecdotes of excursions which he made with Mr. Astor. In the course of one of these the two gentlemen took supper together at a hotel recently opened. Mr. Astor remarked: "This man will never succeed." "Why not ?" inquired the other. "Don't yon see." replied the finan- cier, "what large lumps of...sugar he pats in the sugar bowl?" Once, as they were walking slowly to a pilotboat which the old gentleman had chartered for a trip down the har- bor. Dr. Cogswell said, "Mr. Astor, I have ink_ haJaaamalenlatina that *his boat costs yo -r 25 cents a minute. " Mr. Astor at once hastened his pace. reluc- tant to waste so much money. The Sea Gull and M. Fisherman, In the fishing village if Anchmitbie (the Musselcraig of Scott's "Anti- quary") you may freqtently witness sea gulls flying into the houses of the fishermen and partaking of food from their bands. One of these sea birds was in the habit of staying in a fisherman's house all the year roiled except at the breeding season, when it left. Quitere- cently, while the gull was away, the fisherman removed his home from Auchmithie to Arbroath (the Fairport of Scott's "Antiquary"), distant some 33, miles from the former place, taking up his residence in South street of Ar- broath. The fisherman never expected to see his old friend the gull again. It was therefore much to his astonishment that be beheld a fortnight later the sea bird come walking into his new resi- dence with stately steps to resume his old familiarities and household' ways with his housekeeper. --London Lady. Resuscitated the Pet Kitten. A well known East End doctor tells a story of his experimenting days when he was at college. A girl whom he knew and admired had a pet kitten that in frisking around broke one of its hind legs. The fair mistress was in de- spair and in extremity asked her med- ical student admirer to try his skill on the pet. He consented and took his father's messenger boy, who was used to the surgery, to apply the anaesthetic. The doctor made the amputation and was sewing up the flap beautifully. when the boy gave a yell and said the cat was dead. It had been chloroform- ed to death. The doctor knew that the demise of the pet would, kill his hopes with the mistress. He had only one alternative, artificial respiration. and seizing the forepaws he set to work. In ten min- utes he saw he was saved, for the kit- ten began to breathe. It was restored, minus one of its clawers, to the girl, who never knew how near it came to being buried in the back garden.—Pittsburg Dispatch. The Better Drawer.

A hundred years ago there were no temperance societies or bands of hope, nor Rechabites and blue ribbon army. To be as "drunk as a lord" was the height of human felicity. It was the age of "three bottle men," of convivial toasts, of drinking songs. Even the church indirectly encouraged intemper- ance. There were certain districts where at Whitsuntide the churchwardens were accustomed to levy contributions of malt from the parishioners. This was brewed into strong ale and sold in the church. The Whitsuntide topers had, however, a pious method in their mad- ness. The money spent on the beer was ex- pended by the churchwardens in church maintenance, and the muddled roister- ers no doubt believed themselves to be pillars of the church even when, ander the influence of its alcohol, they rolled upon its pavement. They thought themselves supporters of the church when they wanted "supporting" them- selves, and deemed themselves most A Wall Paper Trick. "An old fellow came along the other day." says a Philadelphia restaurant keeper, "who gave me a pointer I had never dreamed of. He came in and of- fered to patch up all the bad places in my wall paper and so skillfully that I couldn't find a place after it was done. Well, I hadn't any patching to do, but I bet the old chap a qnarter and his dinner that he couldn't do what he said. I tore a patch oat of the wall pager, and when he was through eat- ing he went to work. "The first thing he did was to cut a piece of blank wall paper big enough to Dover the hole and paste it over. Next he took a brush and painted a ground the same as the other paper. Then, kick me if he didn't take other brushes and colors and paint in ,the design of the paper. I willingly yielded up a quarter with the dinner and was satisfied when I saw the alacrity and ease with which the fellow did his work.

The gentleness of bloodhound disposi- tion is probably accounted for by their sot having been used to hunt and kill prey. One of the most ancient anec- dotes of these dogs attributes the cap- ture of a fugitive to the use of hie bwn bloodhound. The name itself is prob- ably a modern one. based on a vulgar error that the dogs only followed persons who were "red handed" from homicide or who had about them the smell of re- cently killed sheep. The ancient name was lyme dog or talbot, which latter appears to have been a white variety of bloodhound. The Cuban bloodhounds, which were used for hunting slaves by the Spaniards and were imported into Jamaica, were not bloodhounds at all, but a cross be- tween the mastiff and bulldog, or per- haps the "dogue" of Bordeaux. They were brindled, prick eared, and doubt- less horribly savage. They were, how- ever, used as "police," and, like the bloodhounds on the border, were main- tained in every parish in Jamaica, where it was the duty of the church- wardens to keep them at the expense of the community. Some of these dogs were kept in Lon- don during the 'early days of the zo- ological gardens. The stories of their ferocity are probably not exaggerated, though Lord Balcarres, who imported5 200 of them into Jamaica to aid in sub- duing the maroons, never used th-m. He frightened the negroes into snbmis- gion by circulating the stories current about the dogs. —London Spectator. Wise Lad.

When the roan whose haircut showed that his wife had peculiar notions as to the way a man should dress his hair quit giving advice. one of the listens' said: "No man has more respect for% wo- man than I have. but I shall never take the advice, of my wife again about money matters. She insisted upon mj . hiding my salary, so if I should be held up the highwaymen wouldn't get it. I draw my stipend at 6 p. m.. and it is quite dark before I get home.

It stands on the Via St. Sebastiano, and the sculptured hat, "cappello," the ancient cognizance of the Capulets, seen over the gateway of a poor, second rate inn, alone marks the home where dwelt one of the "two households, both alike in dignity," whose fend affords the staple of Shakespeare's tale. Tall houses had covered every foot of Capnlet's gar- den. One could not say with Juliet, "The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, " for no garden, no orchard, no walls were there to be seen on either side. Fronting on the street, surround- ed by shops and dwellings, here was the spot where followed thick and fast the scenes of the "fearful passage" of that "death marked love" which the great dramatist describes. We ventured into the open inclosure, and lingered for awhile amid the squalid surroundings of this wretched tavern. Some quarrelsome inmates were busied in a corner of the courtyard in settling their disputes. Amid the war of words we remembered that no one in modern days "hath forbade this bandying in Verona." There were one or two wag- ons at one side, from which the jaded steeds had been unharnessed. Near the entrance, and in the only decent part of this old ruin, two women sat, one knitting. The other answered our in- quiries and pointed out our way to the next object of our quest.—Lippincott's Squaring Up.

This: which ought to be, is not always the real climax. The bull is often by this time tired, has had enough of the sport, leaps at the barrier, trying to get out.

The novelist can give the preacher some good points and especially in the matter of the sermon plan. After Zola had collected some 1,700 pages of notes and arranged them in order, he writes about "Lourdes:" "My book is finish- ed; I have only to write it." George Eliot would make several drafts of her plot before she wrote a line. Of Mrs. Henry Wood her biographer says: "The great amount of thought an71 de- liberation bestowed upon her books was always at the commencement. She would fist compose her plot—a matter of extreme care and deliberation, where nothing was passed over or hurried. This would take her about three weeks of very close application, and until the whole was accomplished not one word of the novel was written.' As a rale, the more time a preacher spends over the plan of his sermon, the lees time will he need to spend on its composi- tion.—Homiletic Review. She Let Him Off. One night Green Dame home very late and found his wife evidently prepared to administer a Caudle lecture.

They rank among the best in the country. The salary of the governor's private secretary is $1,500, and the fees re- , ceived last year are officially report- ed at $3,043, making a very comfort- able income. These fees are mainly derived from issuing commissions to notaries public, and usually aggregate more than double that amotilit. Why they should be retained by the secre- tary instead of being covered into the state treasury is one of the conun- drums that may be classed with the excessive fees of the oil inspector and the surveyors general of logs.

They emigrated to America in 1853, settling at Koshko- nong, Dane County, Wis. In 1856 they came to Minnesota, . settling on a farm three miles south of Aspelund, in Wanamingo, which was their home continuously up, to the time of their death.

Lind, we do not think the county system oi' caring for the insane will meet with the approval of either branch of the present legislature. As for the colonization system, that is, colonizing the insane for all time to come at and around the Fergus Falls, Rochester, and St. Peter hospitals, it will hardly be considered. -Princeton Union. Anoka and Hastings will certainly show wisdom by shaking hands, making up the row, and combining on the hospital business, if either wishes to get anything. A half loaf is better than no bread and a small hospital better than none, if you can't get a big one. A low priced building located at each of these towns would probably make no greater drain upon the public treasury than one large one, and this would settle the dispute and should be satisfactory to both parties. -Elk River Star News ' Gov. Lind undoubtedly has some very clear ideas on certain . subjects, and the legislature has already shown its readiness to follow any reasonable suggestion he may make to a reason able length, but bis advocacy `of the Wisconsin system of county' asylums for the insane will scarcely be suffi- cient to accomplish the adoption of that plan. Ramsey, Hennepin, and St. Louis counties could probably main- tain proper institutions, but the other counties could not. If Gov. Lind's plan is to be adopted it would have to be so limited as to apply only to these three counties, and these three counties do not want it. -St. Paul Dispatch. • The Iowa state, board of control does not appear to have a very hi, h regard for county asylums for the insane. The following dispatch to the Associated Press explains itself: Des Moines, Jan. 24. -The Iowa board of control has just made an important ruling in regard to the transfer of patients in the Insane hospitals of the state. It has ordered the superintendents of the insane• hospitals not to discharge patients, unless cured. hereafter without permission of the board of control. This is done to stop the depopulation of the hospitals by the transfer of inmates to the county hos- pitals. as the board believes these patients do not receive as good care in the county asylums as at the hands of the state. The people of Minnesota never would tolerate any system that is not as good as the present hospital plan. What they want is something better, not worse, The county plan won't do. -St. Cloud Journal -Press. Yesterday's Minneapolis Times con- tained the announcement that hostili- ties between Anoka and Hastings had ceased, and that the two cities are abut to, or have, joined forces in the struggle for the • coveted institution. The general public here knows noth- ing of any such agreasraat. and The 'lames' source of information 'is not given. It evidently took its cue from the -declaration of several of the lead- ing mei hers of the legislature, that that pla�tj] is the best solution of the problem. Another fight like the ses- sion of 1897 would seriously embarass the. legislature, and if the hatter could be settled without such a strug- gle a great many members would feel a sense of relief. Minneapolis and St. Paul are said to favor the building of two hospitals, one at Anoka and the other at Flastings, and this plan is said to have -several supporters out- side utside the delegations from those cities. The plan suggested would he in the nature of a compromise, not only be- tween the two warring cities, but be- tween the different plans for the so- lution of the problem of the care of the insane. -4 noka Herald. The Anoka -Hastings difficulty is finally within sight of a settlement. A4 meeting of some of the gentlemen iterested in both towns was held yes- terday, when an understanding was reached which was satisfactory, to both sides, and which it was thought would meet with indorsement at the hands of the legislators. In brief, the plan is to 'purchase the site at Flastings formerly selected for the place, and to build onboth that and the site at Anoka some buildings on the so-called cottage plan. It was figured that both places would thus be satisfied, that the room needed for the patients that cannot be accom- modated at the other institutions can be provided for iu quicker time than _-if one large institution were 'Milt, and the cost of both on the lines suggested will not be in excess of what it was originally intended should be expended on the one pro- posed. It was said that such a sug- gestion would meet with Gov. Lind's approval, providing the cost for both is reasonable. It is expected that a bill covering these, providing for such work, will be prepared and intro- duced in the,legislature at once. -St. Paul Globe, 25th. STATE COMMISSION IN LUNACY. OGDENSBURG. N. Y., Jan .3d, 1899. Dr. A. M. Adsit: Replying to your letter of the 31st ult. in reference to the Wisconsin sys- tem of caring for the insane as against the New York state system much might be said. New York state has had ex- perience in both methods, and I do not believe that • the people of the state would willingly go back to the old or county care plan. The history of caring for the insane in county in- stitutions has been one where abuses have grown up and conditions devel- oped which were, to say the least, not in accord with the present enlighten- ed view of caring for the unfortunate class of the state's wards called the insane. I would suggest that you write to the state commission in lunacy, Al- bany, N. Y., for the first and second annual report[; of the commision in regard to the conditions the commis- sion found on inspection of some of the county poorhouses and asylums. This report was undoubtedly the means of hastening the transfer of the insane from the county to the state, although the subject had been urged for some years before by vari- ous charitable organizations and philanthropic citizens. Possibly the secretary of the state commission in lunacy- can also give you other facts in reference to the working of both methods. The transfer of a patient from a state hospttal to a county institution for. the insane brands that individual as a chronic lunatic, and, if the pa- tient has any intelligence left, he feels his position keenly and thinks that his chances for recovery have passed by. As tl matter of fact, it is the common belief among the laity that chronic and incurable are synony- mous terms, whereas, in reality, they are entirely distinct and have no re- lation one to the other. We who treat hundreds of cases of mental disease every year occasionally see a patient whose iusanity has existed for years get well and this means, therefore, that a chronic case is not necessarily alt incurable one, and that they' should all have the benefit that goe with the enlightened super- vision o state care. Very truly yours, WILLIAM MASON, Superintendent. This surely can be best secured in state institutions, under the control of one management, kept free from politics. The county asylum is too near kin to the poorhouse. The best thing to be done under the existing conditions is to give Anoka and Hast- ings each a small institution. Thus St. Paul, Minneapolis, and the sur- rounding country will be cared for and a great saving will be made in the transportation. By adopting the cottage, plan a half million dollars will eventually be saved in buildings alone, and the more hopeful of the inmates will be given homes instead of asylums. There should be no difficulty on the part of the legislature in eonsummating this feasible solution of the difficulty. -St. Cloud Journal - Press. Onr New State Superintendent. Gov. Lind has sent in but few nominations this week. That of Prof. J. H. Lewis for superintendent of public instruction was a surprise. It is a good nomination, nevertheless. Mr. Lewis has been superintendent of the public schools of Hastings for more than twenty years, and is promi- nent in educational circles in this state. He will make a good officer. -Appleton Tribune. -- Prof. Prof. J. H. Lewis, of Hastings, is to be superintendent of public in- struction. Mr. Lewis has been a resident of. Minnesota since 1864, and was superintendent of schools iu Wright County fifteen years. In 1878 he was chosen superintendent of the Hastings schools. which posi- tion he has since held, making far more than a local or state reputation. -Faribault Democrat. ST. LAWRENCE STATE HOSPITAL. ALBANY, N. N-.. Jan. 9th. 1899. Dr. A. M. Adsit: Your letter of Jan. 6th came duly, and the commission is much interest- ed in the discussion which has arisen in Minnesota respecting the relative merits of state and county care for the insane. Agreeably to your request I send the first and second annual reports of ths commission, which I think you wil find of sortie value in supporting your position in favor of state care. Since the establishment of state care, in 1893, every supervising and inspecting official who has had any knowledge of the state and county systems has been most enthusiastic over the improvement resulting from the assumption by the state of the exclusive care of the insane. Every governor has most cordially com- mented the system of the stale care, the latest protunciamento upon the subject being Gov. Roosevelt's mes- sage, from which I quote: - Great improvement has ,resulted from putting the care of the insane under the control of the state instead of the counties. Under a system of entire state ad- ministration we have succeeded in annually decreasing the net cost of maintaining the insane, the rate fal- ling last year $11 per annum, per capita. It would surely be a step backward if the state of Minnesota were to be misled into adopting any ac-e?eta Lae element of county care. We would be glad to assist you farther in the way of literature if there is anything that you desire upon this point. inclose cope of a statement re- cently issued by the commission, which shows how completely every item of Maintenance is included 'in our annual per ;.apita cost of $184. We shall undoubtedly be able to re- duce the annual per capita to $180 daqring the current year. Very res- tfully yours, T. E. MC GARR, Secretary. --- It is said that ale citizens of Anoka and` Hastings hate come to an agree- ment and will ask the state to give each town a small asylum on the cot- tage plan. It has long been evident that public ser:timent was rather against the building of another million dollar insane hospital, and that a change in the policy cif the state would be advisable. ,lust what this policy will be remains tobe determined. The governor and the state board of cor- rections and charities have recom- mended the contty system. The hos- pital board, whitb has had the opportu- nity to know e great deal about this problem in a 7ractical way, recom- mends that the increase be provided for by small hospitals at Anoka and Hast- ings, astings, and that the three present hos- pitals be continued as first class insti- tutions. Gov. Lind, of course, knows very little about the matter, and his opinions were the result of the most superficial investigation, and the views of the board of corrections and charities is only a theoretical conclu- sion. The only state in which the county asylntn system is a success is Wisconsin, it having resulted in fail- ure in every other state where it has been tried. One of the board of control-ef \Wisconsin has said that it. would fist be practical for Minnesota to adopt -this 'plan now, as it has three large insttutions which are capable of taking care of the greater part of the insane for a long time to come. Only a very few of the ,larger conntie3 could a lop[ ,the county 'plan anyway, and those who have studied the W iseonsin system all agree that it places an extra burden upon the small- er counties, as they have to pay for the care of their insane to the larger counties having hospitals, and the county having the institution makes a profit thereby. In Minnesota we have over eighty counties. Not over a half dozen counties would build asy- lums if they had the right, and all the rest would he compelled,.to pay a high- er rate of taxes for the support of their insane than they now do. What we want is the best and most econom- ical system possible and a plan under which the burden will fall equally on all counties, whether great or small. The demands of humanity are that the unfortunate insane shall receive the best and kindest 'of treatment. 'HENRY WARD UEE(IIER, The distinction of contributing the superintendent of public instruction falls upon Hastings. That city has for a score of years annually reap- pointed J. H.

He has held that position continuously since, hav- ing been re-elected by successive school boards. He was born in Miss- issippi in 1852, and came to this state with his father in 1864.

It is well known that Spanish soldiers , In Cuba were poor marksmen, but great surprise has been expressed at the re- markable lack of execution whioh char- acterized their fire at Guantanamo and Santiago, and an officer of the United States gunboat Montgomery has been able to throw some light on the matter. He visited the Maria Teresa after the destruction of Cervera's fleet in search of souvenirs. He found a large number of Mauser cartridges in groups of five ready to go into the magazines of the guns, and, if the entire Spanish army and navy were equipped with that kind of ammunition, both Cervera and Toral were amply justified in surrendering when they did. The cartridges consisted of a metal shell loaded with hair and a sprinkling of powder. The bullet was of neither brass nor lead, but of wood. Some army contractor had imposed on the ordnance bureau of the Spanish navy, but to what extent the wooden Mauser bullets were used will proba- bly never be known. -Scientific Ameri- can. sirds_FIy.High.. - I Very few people realize at what tre- mendous heights birds sometimes trav- erse the air. Of course, most of the common British songsters, the thrushes and warblers, do not as a rule rise higher than the tree tops except when migrating. Then they fly at an average height of 280 feet or 800 feet -higher or lower, according to the prevailing currents. Herons and wild ducks, geese and swans when traveling long dis- tances fly at greater heights, often as much as 2,000 feet. But it is the hawk and more particularly the vulture tribe that constantly wing the air at far greater limits than these.

This report was undoubtedly the means of hastening the transfer of the insane from the county to the state, although the subject had been urged for some years before by vari- ous charitable organizations and philanthropic citizens. Possibly the secretary of the state commission in lunacrcan also give you other facts in reference to the working of both methods. The transfer of a patient from a state hospttal to a county institution for the insane brands that individual as a chronic lunatic, and, if the pa - tie has any intelligence left, he feels hi position keenly and thinks that s chances for recovery have passed iy. As aihntter of fact, it is the common belief among the laity that chronic and incurable are synony- mous terms, whereas, in reality, they are entirely distinct and have no re- lation one to the other. We who treat hundreds of cases of mental disease every year occasionally see a patient whose insanity has existed for years get well and this means, therefore, that a chronic case is not necessarily au incurable one, and that they should all have the benefit that goes with the enlightened super- vision of state care. Very truly yours, WILLIAM MABON, Superintendent. The Insane Asylum. With all due respect to the board of corrections and charities and to Gov. Lind, we do not think the county system of caring for the insane - will meet with the approval of either branch of the present legislature. As for the colonization system, -that is, colonizing the insane for alt time to come fat and around the Fergus Falls, Rochester, and St. Peter hospitals, it will hardly be considered. -Princeton Union. Anoka and Hastings will certainly show wisdom by shaking hands, making up the row, and combining on the hospital business, if either wishes to get anything. A half loaf is better than no bread and a small hospital better than none, if you can't get a big one. A low priced building located at each of these towns would probably make no greater drain upon the public treasury than one larg one, and this would settle the dispute and should be satisfactory to both parties. -Elk River Star Yews Gov. Lind undoubtedly has some very clear ideas on certain subjects, and the legislature has already shown its readiness to follow any reasonable suggestion he may mall to a reason able length, but his advocacy of the Wisconsin system of county asylums for the insane will scarcely be suffi- cient to accomplish the adoption of that plan. Ramsey, Hennepin, and St. Louis counties could probably main- tain proper institutiong, but the other counties could not. If Gov. Lind's plan is to be adopted it would have to be so limited as to apply only to these three counties, and these three counties do not want it. -St. Paul Dispatch. The Iowa state board of control does not appear to have a very high regard for county asylums for the insane. The following dispatch to the Associated Press explains itself: Des Moines, Jan. 24. -The Iowa board of control has just mace an important ruling in regard to the transfer of patients in the insane hospitals of the state. It has ordered the superintends is of the insane hospitals not to discharge patients, unless cured, hereafter withouf.,permission of the board of control. This is clone to stop the depopulation of the hospitals by the transfer of inmates to the county hos- pitals, as the board believes these patients do not receive as good care in the county asylums as at the hands of the state. The people of Minnesota never would tolerate any system that is not as good as the present hospital plan. What they want is something better, not worse, The county plan won't do. -St. Cloud Journal -Press. Yesterday's Minneapolis Times con- tained the announcement that hostili- ties between Anoka and Hastings hall ceased, and that the two cities are abput to, or have, joined forces in the struggle for the coveted 'Institution. The gen,-Tal' public here knows noth- ing of any such agrecyasrml. and,The 'flies' source of igforntittion isni,t given. It evidently took its cue from the declaration of several of the lead- ing members of the legislature, that that plan is the best solution of the problem. Another fight like the ses- sion of 1897 would seriously embarass the legislature, a d if the matter could be settled wiihout such a strug- gle a great many members would feel a sense of relief. Minneapolis and St. Paul are said to favor the building of two hospitals, one at Anoka and the other at Hastings, and this plan is said to have several supporters out- side the delegations from those cities. The plan suggested would he in the nature of a compromise, not only be- tween the two warring cities, but be- tween the different plans for the so- lution of the problem of the care of the insane. -4 nolca Herald.

A meeting of some o' the gentlemen interested in both towns was held yes- terday, when an understanding was reached which was satisfactory to both sides, and which it was thought would meet with in lorsement at the hands of the feg ' ators. In brief, the plait is -to "purchase the site at Hastings formerly selected for the place, and to build on both that and the site at Anoka some buildings on the so-called cottage plan. It was figured that both places would thus be satisfied, that the room needed for the patients that cannot be accom- modated at the other institutions can be provided for in quicker time than if one large institution were ilt, and the cost of both on the lines suggested will not be in excess of what it was originally intended should be_ expended on the one pro- posed. It was said that such a sug- gestion would meet with Gov. Lind's approval, providing the cost for both is reasonable. It is expected that a bill covering these, providing for such work, will be prepared and intro- duced in the.legislature at once. -St. Paul Globe, 25th.• STATE COMMISSION IN LUNACY. OoDENssuxo. N. Y.. Jan 3d, 1899. Dr. A. M. Adsit: _ Replying to your letter of the 31st ult. in reference to the Wisconsin_sys- tem of caring for the insane as against the New York state system much might be said. New York state has had ex- perience in both methods, and I do not believe that the people of the state would willingly go'back to the old or: county care plan. The history of caring for the insane in county in- stitutions has been one where abuses have grown up and conditions devel- oped which were, to say the least, not in accord with the present enlighten- ed view of caring for the unfortunate class of the state's wards called: the, insane. I wctald. suggest , bat you write to the state comeeiasion in lunacy, . Al - betty, N. Y,, for the first and seeped ST. LAWRENCE STATE HOSPITAL. ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 9th, 1899. Dr. A. M. Adsit: Your letter of Jan. fith came duly, and the commission is much interest- ed in the discussion which has arisen in Minnesota respecting the relative merits of state and county care for the insane. Agreeably to your request I send the first and second annual reports of the commission, whicli I think you will find of some value in supporting your position in favor of state care. Since the establishment of state care, in 1893, every supervising and inspecting official who has had any knowledge of the state and county systems has been most enthusiastic over the improvement resulting from the assumption by the state of the exclusive care of the insane. Every governor has most cordially coin- tnented the system of the state care, the latest prouunciamento upon the subject being Gov. Roosevelt's mes- sage, from which I quote: - Great improvement has resulted front putting the care of the insane under the control of the stave instead of the counties. Under a system of entire state ad- ministration we have succeeded in annually decreasing the net cost of maintaining the insane, the rate fal- ling last year $11 per annum, per capita. It would surely be a step backward if the state of Minnesota were to be misled into adopting any u -utern eontaiet.ng the, element of county care. We would be glad to assist you Nailer in the way- of literature if there is anything that, you desire upon this point. I inclose cups of a statement re- cently issued by the commission, which shows Trow completely every item of maintenance is included in our annual per ::apita cost of $184. We shall undoubtedly be able to re- duce the annual per capita to $180 during the current year. Very res- pectfully yours. T. E. Mc GARR, Secretary. It is said that [lie citizens of Anoka and 'Hastings have come to an agree- ment and will ask the state to give each town a small asylum on the cot- tage plan. It has long been evident that public sertiment was rather against the building of another million dollar insane hospital, and that a change in the policy of the state would be advisable. Just what this policy will be remains tobe determined. The governor and the state board of cor- rections and charities have recom- mended the county system. The hos- pital board, which has had the opportu- nity to know s great deal abuut this problem in a ;practical way, recom- mends that the increase be provided for by small hospitals at Anoka and Hast- ings, and that the three present hos- pitals be continued as first class insti- tutions. Gov. Lind, of course, knows very Little about the matter, and his opinions were the result of the most superficial investigation, and the views of the baard of corrections and charities is only a theoretical conclu- sion. The only state in which the county asylunh system is a saecess is Wisconsin, it having resulted in fail- ure in every other state where it has been tried.- One of the board of control -of \lrisconsin has said that it. would apt be practical for Minnesota to adopt -this 'plan now, as it has three large hist tutions which are capable of taking, cure of the greater part of the insane for a long time to come. Only a very few of the larger conntie3 could adept the county plan anyway, and those who 'have studied the Wisconsin system till agree thatit places an extra burden upon the small- er counties, as they have to pay for the care of their insane to the larger counties having hospitals, and the county having the institution snakes a profit thereby. In Minnesota we have over eighty comities. Not over a half dozen counties would build asy- lums if they had the right, and all the rest would he compelle4..to pay a high- er rate of taxes for the support of their insane than they now do. What we want is the best and moat econom- ical system possible slid a plan ander which the burden witi . equally on all counties, .wl ilex. ' The dew s the unfortuttatac 141 the beef and lel This surely can be beat secured in state institutions, under the Control clone management, kept free from politics. The county asylum is too near kin to the poorhouse. The best thing to be done under the existing conditions is to give Anoka and Hast- ings each a small institution. Thus St. Paul, Minneapolis, and the sur- rounding country will be cared for and a great saving will be made in the transportation. By adopting the cottage plan a half million dollars will eventually be saved in buildings alone,,and the more hopeful of the inmates will be given homes instead of asylums. There should be no difficulty on the part of the legislature in consummating this feasible solution of the difficulty. -St. Cloud Journal - Press. Our New State Superintendent. Gov. Lind has sent in but few nominations this week. That of Prof. J. H. Lewis for superintendent of public instruction was a surprise. It is a good nomination, nevertheless. Mr. Lewis has been superintendent of the public schools of Hastings for more than twenty years, and is promi- nent in educational circles in this state. He will make a good officer, - Appleton Tribune. Prof. J. H. Lewis, of Hastings, is to be superintendent of public in- struction. Mr. Lewis has been a resident of Minnesota since 1864, and was superintendent of schools in Wright County fifteen years. In 1878 he was chosen superintendent of the Hastings sohools, which posi- tion he has since °held, making far more than a local or state reputation. - Faribault Democrat. The distinction of contributing the superintendent of public instruction falls upon Hastings. That city has for a score of years annually reap- pointed J. H. Lewis its superintendent of public schools, and he is now call- ed upon to round out his educational career as the superintendent of the state's educational institutions. His father was an educator before him, and his reputation is such there can be no doubt about the wisdom of his selection. -Benson Monitor. J. II. Lewis, of Ilastings, who has been selected for state superiutendent of public instruction, graduated from the state university in 1878, and was elected superintendent of the Hastings schools that same year. He has held that position continuously since, hav- ing been re-elected by successive school boards. He was horn in Miss- issippi in 1852, and came to this state with his father in 1864. The father was superintendent of t the Wright County schools for fifteen years -St. Paul Review. After all it was neither Denfeld or Farnsworth for state superintendent of public inatr:;." . A dark horse wins in the person of Supt. J. " H. Lewis, of Hastings, and there is noth- ing to indicate that the appoint- ment is not as good as any heretofore made by Gov. Lind. Prof. Lewis has been superintendent of the Hastings schools for about twenty years, dur- ing which time he maintained for them a high standard of excellence which has been a pattern for other schools of the state. -l -Hutchinson Leader.

PITZENS, the Shoemen, Hastings, Minn. Spanish Wooden Bullets. It is well known that Spanish soldiers in Cuba were poor marksmen, but great surprise has been expressed at the re- markable lack of execution which-ohar- acterized their fire at Guantanamo and Santiago, and an officer of the United States gunboat Montgomery has been able to throw some light on the matter. He visited the Maria Teresa after the destruction of Cervera's fleet in search of souvenirs. He found a large number of Manser cartridges in groups of five ready to go into the magazines of the guns, and, if the entire Spanish army and navy were equipped with that kind of ammunition, both Cervera and Toral were amply justified in surrendering when they did. The cartridges consisted of a metal shell loaded with hair and a sprinkling of powder. The bullet was of neither brass nor lead, but of wood. Some army oontraotor bad imposed 011 the ordnance bureau of the Spanish navy, but to what extent the wooden Manser bullets were used will proba- bly never be known.-Soientiflo Ameri- can. Birds Fly High.. Very few people realize at what tre- mendous heights birds sometimes trav- erse the air. Of course, most of the common British songsters, the thrashes and warblers, do not as a rule rise higher than the tree tops exoepti)►hen migrating. Then they fly at an average height of 200 feet or 800 feet -higher or lower, a000rding to the prevailing currents. Herons and wild ducks, geese and swans when traveling long dis- tances fly at greater heights, often as much as 2,000 feet. But it is the hawk and more particularly the vulture tribe that constantly wing the air , at tar greater limits than these. The dommon buzzard spies for Darrion suspended a mile above the earth, and the great con- dor of the Andes hilts been watched through a powerful telescope floating at the amazing height of 27,000 feet, over five miles, above the sea level Hot Weather and Eleetricdty.

You are perhaps aware that pneumonia. always results from a cold or from an at- tack of la grippe. During the epidemic of la grippe a few years ago when so many cases resulted in pneumonia, it was observed that the attack was never fol- lowed by that disease when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used. It counteracts any tendency of a cold or la grippe to re- sult in that dangerous disease. It is the best remedy in the ysorld for bad colds and la grippe. Every bottle warranted. For sale by J. G.

A naval commander in the reign of Queen Anne was ordered to cruise with a squadron within certain limits on the coast of Spain. Having received infor- mation that a Spanish fleet was in Vigo beyond his limits, he resolved to risk his personal responsibility for the good of his country. He acoordingly attacked and defeated the Spanieh fleet with un- common gallantry. When he joined the admiral under whom he served, he was ordered under arrest, and was asked, if he did not know that by the arti- cles of war he was liable to be shot for disobedience of orders. He replied with great composure that be was very sensible that he was, but added, "The man who is afraid to risk his life in any way when the good of his country requires it is unworthy of a command in ber majesty's service." -Nuggets. What He Found. "I've opened about 8,000,000,000 oysters in my day," said the old oyster- man who sells you the real genuine tin - fattened and unspoiled "salts," a penny apiece, in the shadow of one of the big market buildings, "and I have never found a pearl in one yet. "Bnt I've found something just as good as pearls," he added with a wink. "I have found four nice paying tene- ment houses and good balances in eight savings banks. There is a good deal in an oyster shell besides pearls, young man, if you will look close." -New York Wor!d. Why She Could Smile. "Your wife always wears such a happy expression, Mr. Willikbas.

Sounding the tint and the glint of the sky, Echoing, echoing ecstasy— Shining the sheen and the green of the sheaf, Sparkling and darkling the diamond dewed leaf. Painting the grace and the face of the flower, Hissing the Hp and the drip of the shower, Stealing the breeze of the trees and the shades, Drinking the dews of the dells and the gladea Whistling the wind voiced violin trill, Trebling the thread of a slender thrill; Twittering over the trembling strings Subtlest, sweetest and tenderest things. Pealing a passionate paean of love, Lyrical, limpid, wafted above— Bird halleluiahs, echoed afar, Chanted through nature's portals ajar. Running in rapture the scale of song scope, Wording and birding the rainbow of hope, Pulsing and throbbing and thrilling with June, - Fashioning, passioning all to his tune.

Apo nes MALINDY'S MATCH. The pathetic little procession had wound its way down the dusty road and over the brow of the hill, leaving the sunshine of the valley, the well tilled acres, the spreading orchard and the pleasant old farmhouse, that had meant much to the heart of Martin Ramsey, bat to which he would never more re- turn. "Law me, " wheezed Mrs. Tinkler, wiping a furtive tear upon the corner of her black silk. "So that's the last of poor Martin! Well, he has seen sights of trouble in his day. Malindy an Be- lindy has acted as contrary as two females ever did, an Martin stood up ander 'em splendid. 'Pears to me them girls take it mighty cool, when you think it's their only brother." "Oh, maw," said Tenie, untying the draggled bit of crape that drifted from the doorknob, "I think Belindy felt aw- ful. She ain't one to show it. As for Malindy, she's that cranky she wouldn't feel bad at her own funeral." "Seems to me, " remarked her mother, thoughtfully, "that Brother Rice didn't have no call to be so comfortin an con- solin. Them girls ain't no spring chick- ens; they're 80 come next May—same age as Sister Harriet Bell. When you think they ain't spoke to one another s 'this 50 year, an that Martin has had to live with 'em, bearin the blunt of the plaguy foolishness, it does seem as if it was the preacher's business to make the funeral edifyin to the mourners. I hope Brother Rice wasn't thinkin that the Ramsey farm is broad an fruitful. I hope he ain't 'fraid of no old maid twins. "Why, I can remember," went on Mrs. Tinkler, reflectively, "when the Ramsey girls was as pretty as there was in the county, an a body never see one without t'other. But when Bob Parker was beanin Malindy an took up with Belindy the fat was in the fire, I can tell yon. Bob married Sissy Pollock, an has been dead this 20 year, but that don't make no difference to Malindy ; mad she is, an mad she'll stay! She's. the contrairiest creeter the Lord ever put breath in!" "My suz, maw 1" exclaimed Tenie, "see how high the sun is gettin. I bet- ter run an set the table. I don't believe they'll be many want to climb that hill even for a meal of victuals. Now, niaw, you settle right down in that shady corner an take a catnap; you look beat out. Everything is ready to put over, so there's no need of your helpin." The summer had trailed away into the autumn. The high hills had glowed with riotous beauty, only to fade into •- eo r tints of winter, and now to a wai 'ng world was coming the breath of a Pl r achin ospring. g sP g Tenie was looking for her mother. She stood upon the porch of the little brown cottage, peering out under her hand "There she is i" she exclaimed as a bay horse hitched to a shabby buggy shambled into sight. "I'll jest run down an open the gate. Goodness me, mawl What a time you've been!" she cried as her mother drove into the barnyard. "I've been lonesome as a dog 1 I was afraid Dolly had run away with yon. "I knowed you'd be worried about me, Tenie," wheezed Mrs. Tinkler, clambering heavily to the ground. "But I did have the biggest hunt to snatch that blue delaine, an, as for wool carpet chain, there ain't a pound in Philadelphy. So it was dreadfullate when I come by the Ramseys, an when Belindy see me nothin would do but I must unhitch the beast an stay for din- ner." "Now, maw, yon take them bundles } an put for the house," commanded Te- ,-- `- nie. "You look fit to drop. You aint a-goin to stand here in the wet. Go long with you!" "Law, Tenie, you make a regular baby of me. I'll go to please you, child, but 'tain't right to be always shirkin." "I guess you're rested enough to talk, maw," said Tenie when they had had r ° tea, and Mrs. Tinkler was resting corn- ` fortably in a rocking chair, her slipper - ed feet thrust into the warm baker. "Never mind about the delaine. Tell me about the Ramseys; seems like a Coon's ag esince I seen one of 'em." "They was askin why you didn't come over, but I told 'em you was dreadful busy makin a rag carpet, an the spring sewin comin on, to say nothin of Tom Miller bein here so constant." "Pshaw, maw!" exclaimed Tenie, blushing rosy red. "Stop your foolin, an go on with your story." "Well, the fact is, they are Navin high old times a+ the Ramseys," said Mrs. Tinkler impressively. "You don't say 1 They ain't on speak- ..- in terms?" inquired Tenie, sewing away briskly with her lap full of carpet rags, ' "Here, Terris, hand me my thimble an a mesal of them rags. I can talk twice as fast with, my needle goin. Up to the Ramseys, as far as speakin goes, things are jest where they was, except they've got that little Rosie Lethers there to do their talkin through. But eon as I got there I see there was some- hin in the sdind, an, as I said, nothin ay rould do but I must take off my bon - et an stto.Pretty s eat. oon Malindy an 4' couldn't stand it no longer, an she with it. An, daughter, you'd never guess it in this wide world!! "My suz, maw, how could I guess, " tittered Tenie excitedly. "Tain't an- other beau, is it ?" "Well, I swan !" exclaimed her moth- er admiringly. "If you didn't guess it first thing! It's the livin truth, Tenie. Belindy has gc$ a beau!" "You're foolin I" " 'Pon honor, jest as true as yon live ! " "Whoever ?" "Jess make a guess." "I ain't the slightest idea!" "Well," said kra Tinkler, reluctant- ly parting with her news. "it's Dan'el Carter!" "Dan'el Garter!" gasped Tenie. "For the land sakes 1 But if it ain't the very thing! Why, dear me, seems as if I had knowed it a year!" "There," cried her mother trium- phantly; "that's 'zactly what I said! Likely a match as ever was./tidy, an forehanded, can go there arun the farm as good as Martin ever did—an I can tell you things has gone at loose ends since they have been runnin it on the shears—bat no, Malindy won't hav . it so, an she is raisin Cain generally.' "I can't see what business it isf hers," cried Tenie indignantly. "She never speaks to poor Belindy. She's a ropier dog in the manger. "So I told her, but, law, it didn't do no good. Her heart is as hard as a cob- ble. Belindy broke down an cried, poor thing, an said Malindy had said if she married Dan'el Carter they shouldn't live on the farm—an Belindy ownin half of everything, mind you—an that it would break her heart to leave the old home, where she was born. "But, land sakes, when. Belindy cried, that made Malindy act like tun- ket. Why, she said she was' disgraced to have a sister with no more sense, an that there wasn't no fool like old fools, an that she'd burn the house over their heads 'fore he should come there. I told her she acted like she was plum crazy. Mind my words, Tenie, she'll breai# off that match unless somethin drops, an drops hard." The spring had hurried on into the summer, and upon Goshen hill, which lay between the Tinkler and Ramsey farms, the blackberries were hanging amid green leaves in rich, ripe clusters. Here early and late Mrs. Tinkler toiled, loving the outdoor life and coveting the many dimes the luscious fruit would bring for Tenie's wedding -outfit, It was a close August morning, and Tenie, working over the ironing table, was thinking longingly of the leafy coolness and the deep, clear spring upon the hillside when suddenly she espied her mother coming across the meadow. "Why, what ever ?" cried Tenie, dropping her flatiron with a clatter, as Irs. Tinkler, with gown draggled and unbonnet awry, but with face alight with excitement and news, appeared round the corner of the house. "Where are the berries?" "Did you ever?" chuckled her moth - r, sinking down upon the step. "If I didn't have them berries clear knocked - ut of my head an leave them buck is standin under the bushes! But, enie Tinkler, talk about your circuses 1 'next' a things happerair en that hill as beats any show .I ever see. Oh, my goodness gracious!" "Do stop your laughin, " said Tenie, ntying her mother's bonnet and bring - ng her a glass of water. "Your face is as red as a beet ; I hope you ain't got a unstroke. I can't make head nor tail of hat you're talking about." "There's nothin the matter of me, enie. I'm just worked up, an so'U ou be when you've heard. You see, hen I got on top of Goshen this morn - n I see the berries was hangin thick own toward the Ramseys, so down _I ent. 'Twas dreadful pretty and cool own there; the birds were singin, the assrasses was a smellin, an the big ber- t es thumpin down on my bucket. an I h as t1iinkin of startin up a hymn, when, 11 of a sudden, I see a woman over in se Ramsey patch. I couldn't see who, or her bonnet, an I knowed she couldn't e me for the bushes. "Right 'twixt us was that old cellar, here the house burned down. The ushes was a leanin way out over it, an e woman was a gettin nearer an near- •. I was jest goin to holler to her to be 1 refnl, when out her feet slipped an ckety split she went sailin down h rough them bushes, an here she was, 'f ttin flat on that cellar floor!

Make the plain crown 5 inches in diam- eter, or 20 rows deep, taking up both stitches each time. The remainder of the work is done in crazy st, 2 rows go- ing all around the crown and the rest just going over the front to form the headpiece. Make the sts thus: 5 d c third et from the hook, 2 eh, s e in same place, skip 3 sts, 5 d c in next, 2 ch, s c in same place, and continue to end of the row ; turn, 5 d c under 2 ch, 2 ch, s c in same place, and repeat to end of the row. In making the next row 3 groups of doubles are left at the neck, and the hood is finished by working back and forth. After making 3 or 4 more rows, if the hood seenis to flare too much at the top, narrow a group on each side for several rows. Narrow by plac- ing the hook through two of the 2 ch instead of one. When the hood is wide enough finish the edge with a shell of 6 'd c in each 2 ch and fastened between two of the groups by a d c. With knit- ting silk crochet a ch all round the edge and make the bow for the top and the ties of satin ribbon.

A simple and fresh looking decora- tion for the dinner table for every day and one that will last for several weeks if properly cared for consists of ferns, either in terra cotta vases or openwork baskets gilded, the posts being hidden by moss. Where electric lights are used in any large room each glass globe should be enveloped in either pink or yellow tulle, which is the mellowing process required to make this brilliant light becoming. A little bit of cream colored, rough edged paper, with one corner turned hack and held in place with a tiny fork, is one of the latest notions for name cards A Cupid flying away with spoon, knife or fork is another pretty idea which might be worked out for a name card.

The Large Silver Castor and Small ButtCr Plates Revived. The woman of taste devises a variety of decorative bits for the table, simple changes which can be made at one time or another by the ,-e.mping of different colors or tints in china or glass. To as- sist in this object The Home Decorator notes a number of things which are charming in an ornamental way For instance, nothing is prettier for the hot bread plate than a .good design in blue, either in Canton china or a cream background in which delicate flowers in this same hue are artistically grouped. For table colors blue is gen- erally preferred. It is restful to the eye, has a cleanly look and is inviting in ap- pearance. In oatmeal sets, the white china is invariably chosen, particularly when slightly decorated with flowers of a del- icate iist.tro, in which are given out- lines in gilt or a deep border of the same. Very often the dishes are quaint in form and are tasteful accessories for this one course. Formerly the large silver castor was all the rage. On every sideboard one was found. Then they lost prestige and finallydisappeared as a table adorn- ment, but, like all good things, they revived, and are now more. resplendent than ever in special carvings of silver with a beauty in filigree work that is unsurpassed and with some four or five cut glass bottles of exquisite patterns. In table setting they should occupy a side or center place, according to the floral decoration given, and although a beautiful addition, still the salt and pepper individuals hold their own how- ever ornamental the castor may be. In decorative dishes the cut glass bot- tles for tabasco and worcestershire sauces are acknowledged the novelty for the coming season. They are beau- tiful in design and of pretty size. Many of these charming affairs are tinted in green, red and yellow. Fashion has now decreed that the dessert plate should be one of gorgeous colors, so for the formal dinner or luncheon one dozen can be selected, of different tints, providing they are all the same design and the same size. Bread and butter plates still hold their own, but are smaller than ibrmer- lv, more gorgeous in color and Wonder- fully decorative in appearance. The small butter plate which for years had such a run has now come to the front again and is taking prece- dence of the larger ones. At many houses butter plates are abolished alto- gether, even at the informal Meal, the bread and butter being passed by the maid. Chapped Hands. One of the tiresome little everyday ills is chapped hands and skin. Some skins are very tender and susceptible to every change of atmosphere, and, though they remain white in summer time, they become rather like a nutmeg grater or the scales of a fish when the weather is cold. To prevent this you must always use warns soft water to wash in, and while the hands are still damp and only half dry rub into them any good cream or preparation that softens the skin. Next dry them with a warm, thick towel till there is not the very least trace of moisture remaining on the skin. The water that you wash in can be softened with the addition of a little oatmeal or bran. Make a tiny muslin bag, fill with the oatmeal and throw into the water a few minutes be- fore washing. Then squeeze out and wash in the cloudy water. The bags can be used two or three times, but no longer, as they quickly get sour. Two or three times a day rub the cream into the skin well, just a suspicion of it, and dry well with a clean towel. The skin should look quite red after and you should feel the blood circulating in the veins. Bean Rarebit. Melt in the chafing dish two table- spoonfuls of butter, add one-half tea- spoonful of salt, one-fourth teaspoon- ful of paprica and a cup of sifted cold baked beans. When the mixture is heated through add one-half cup of milk, and when well mixed two-thirds of a cup of soft cheese cut fine and a scant teaspoonful of worcestershire sauce. Stir until the cheese is melted, then serve on crackers. Salt Pork With Peas. Cut a pound of pork in slices, and these in large dice. Have ready a pint of split peas soaked overnight in cold water. A carrot cut in dice may also be added. Simpler all together for two hours. Rice may be used instead of peas, says an exchange. Dainty Accessories of Dread.

"The haunted house in this case," laid the old college man, "was occupied by a very estimable and intelligent gentlesean. He did not believe in ghosts, but two nights had made him look old and careworn, and there were certainly loud, strange and startling noises in his attic. They would continue right up to the time that some one en- tered the haunted room, but the open- ing of the door was the signal for a most oppressive silence. "Half a dozen of us college fellows asked permission to investigate, and it was gladly granted. We waited till we heard the noise, and I assure you that cure '°"' there was plenty of it. It continued un- til we had crept up stairs, but ceased when we entered the attic. We waited there without result till big Hicks of the football team, carried out a plan. ,We closed the slide to the dark lantern, slammed the door noisily, as though leaving, and then settled down to wait. Presently the noise began. We flashed the light in its direction, and there was a jug rolling back and forth rapidly, the handle striking the floor with a loud thud. " 'Must be spirits in that jug,' laughed big Hicks, but his laugh was a tremolo. 'We'll see,' and he let go with one of his famous kicks that shattered the uncanny vessel. Then every fellow let out a yell and jumped as though trying to knock a hole in the roof. A rat had crawled into the jug and had been frantically trying to get out. "— Detroit Free Press.

I snake this emphatic statement from a personal knowledge of the homes which these women leave behind when they go to their meet- ings, " writes Edward Bok in The La- dies' Home Journal. "I have seen the rooms of their homes left in wild disorder; I have seen their servants sitting in idlen' ss with work on every hand to do; I have seen the children neglected and left to their own devices; I have heard husbands speak in derision of tha motives of their wives. No woman in a happy American home can ever afford to listen to these parasites of her sex. "Fortunately, the platform woman's influence is steadily on the wane. She was never a power. She was never even picturesque. Her worst injury was wrought upon certain weak women who for the time she deluded. But even with t14m she'was soon regarded with wondesi than with interest ; with suspicion rather than with confidence. The disappearance of the platform wo- man is a case of a blot being blotted out.

"H'm—have you ever had an affair of the heart?" he asked. "Well. " she simpered, "two or three young fellows are breaking their hearts about me." "That won't quite do. Go and get your own heart broken:" he said, "an"d then come again. " She had heard something like this before. and she went away with her chin in the air. A year later, however, she returned. "Well. " she said, choking down a sob, "I have come back to you—heart- broken. I married one of those young men. He treated me shamefully and has deserted me I" "Ah, that is something like," said the manager, rubbing his hands togeth- er. "We are getting on.

The Appetite, When Once Acquired, Is Extremely Difficult to Control, and to Indulge It Means a Short Cut to the Grave. Every great discovery in the world's istory has brought with it an accom- panying affliction, and it remained for the Klondike to develop a peculiar mania that threatens to ontrival opium eating. Among the residents of the far north it is known as the "snow habit," and it issaid to be incurable. A returned Klondiker tells the strange story. "There are many strange things in the Klondike." said the narrator, "but perhaps the strangest and that about which nothing has been written so far, is the dissipation caused by eating snow. In the north, when the ther- mometer reaches 30 to 40 degrees below zero, a mouthful of snow is like molten metal. It brings an inflammation to the palate and tongue and it is impossible to quench the thirst. The first advice an old timer offers a newcomer in the region is `Don't eat snow. ' There are men in that country, once hearty, ro- bust miners, now weak, effeminate crea- tures, whose fall can be traced directly to the time they began munching snow. "The matter has been but little in- vestigated, but the scientists who have examined the subject say that the wa- ters of the north are rich with mineral deposits which are being constantly washed down from the mountains. A certain per cent of this mineral is taken into the air when vapor rises, and the snow becomes impregnated with it There have been several falls of red snow near Point Barrow, the deposit being of a reddish brown color, due en- tirely to minerals. Thus it can be seen that a person eating large quantities of the snow takes into his system a corre- sponding amount of minerals: " While coming down the Copper river Last spring the narrator came upon a party of miners where one was dying from the effects of eating snow. He had been a hard drinker, but had run short of whisky. His thirst became unendur- able and as water was scarce in mid- winter he had taken to eating snow. Soon he claimed it relieved his appetite for the liquor, but his companions no- ticed that his appetite for the snow in- creased until he was consuming enor- mous quantities. Gradually his skin, which was a dark bronze, grew light, his rugged stature became bent, and even his harsh voice changed to the lffeniinate squeak of an old woman. His strength gave way, and his com- panions tried to break him of the habit He would lie on his pallet and moan pitifully for a mouthful of snow and when opportunity offered would steal unobserved to the doorway and gulp down huge handfuls. At last, seeing death was inevitable, his companions allowed him the snow, hoping to pro- long his life. It proved unavailing, however, and one morning the man was found dead. There are some spots on the Copper river where the snow, when melted and strained through a cloth, shows percep- tible signs of minerals, and often gold is found plentifully intermixed, but of course not in paying quantities. Where tLis comes from is a mystery, but it may be brought from the far north by the heavy winter gales that sweep over this part of the country. It has been said that if the snow could be melted awayit would leave deposits of millions otslollars in gold dust on the ground. The narrator had a close call himself from falling a victim to the snow habit. "It was in the winter of 1896-7," he said, "and I was new to the country. An old miner near Dawson had warned sue against eating snow, but I, with my partner, had gone 'back into the hills on a prospecting tour and had got caught in a blizzard. We were shy of pro- visions and on our way up lost the package containing our cooking uten- sils. This we remedied by broiling our cooked foods, but we had nothing in which to melt the snow. It is claimed that melted snow is harmless, as the metallic deposits it contains sink to the bottom of the receptacle. 'We decided to try it 'raw,' and we did. Whether it was the food or the snow I don't know, but during the week we waited for a chance to get out we had an ever increasing thirst, until, when we were finally able to strike the trail, we were consuming snow at a frightful rate. When we reached our companions , we attempted to assuage par thirst with water, but it did no good. We had acquired a taste for the frozen water, and it seemed to have in- vigorating qualities. At night we could not sleep unless we took our snow. "We were fast approaching the de- generate stage when I reached a realiz- lug sense of our condition and under- took to break off. I began by degrees and worked down, but up to the very moment I left the country the sight of the snow always raised in me an inor- dinate craving. It cost me many sleep- less nights and weary days *to restrain myself. Had I given way to the habit I would; like many another poor fellow, have coat all ambition and filled an un- known grave in that frozen wilderness." —Cleveland Plain Dealer. Everybody Warned.

The Arab who bas angered a camel will throw his clothes npon the ground, and the infuriated beast. after stamp- ing on them and tearing them asunder with his teeth, goes on his way, and the driver is thereafter quite safe, as it seems to be an axiom with the camel that no man shall be put in peril of life twice for one offense. The camel is stupid, save when angry, and then seems to become almost pre- ternatural in carrying ont its vengeful designs. Palgrave relates the following story of a camel's revenge, whieb serves to illustrate this point : "A lad of 14 had conducted a large camel laden with wood from one village to another at a half hour's distance. As the animal loitered or turned out of the way its conductor struck it repeats%, and harder than it seemed to have thought hebad a right to do. But not finding the occasion favorable for taking imme- diate quits it 'bode its time. ' That time wan not long in coming. "A few day later the same lad had to reconduct the beast, but unladen, to his own village. When they were about half way on the road and at some dis- tance from any habitation, the camel soddenly stopped, looked deliberately round in every direction to assure it- self that no one was in sight and, find- ing the road Blear of passersby, made a step forward, seized the unlucky boy's head in its monstrous month, and, lift- ing him up in the air, flung him down again on the earth with the upper part of his skisll completely torn off. "Having thus satisfied his revenge, the brute quietly resumed its pace tea_ ward the village, as though nothing were the matter, till some men, who had observed the whole, though unfor- tunately at too great a distance to be able to afford timely help, came up and killed it.

A half yearly meeting of the directors' who manage the Northampton private' asylum had just broken up, and Lord Spencer, a member of that body, desir- ing to reach Althorp Park somewhat more quickly than customarily, deter- mined to return home by a route which intersects the grounds of the asylum and which is rarely used save as a sum- mer parade for the unfortunate lunatics. Arrived at the gate which separates the asylum from the outer world, Lord Spencer, much to his annoyance and disgust, found it securely locked. A keeper, however, happening to come in sight just at that moment Lord Spencer lost no time in explaining to him the nature of his wishes. The man surlily replied that his or- ders were to the effect that no one should pass through that gate except due notice were given to him to the contrary by the authorities, and that, being a married man with a wife and a large family, he failed to understand what special advantage was to be gain- ed by transgressing the rules and thus placing his situation in jeopardy. Ob- serving that the fellow was growing ob- durate, Lord Spencer thought it best to reveal his name and rank, imagining that a'rnowledge of the same would re- call the man to his senses. Nothing of the sort happened, however. The stolid features of the keeper sim- ply relaxed into a broad grin, and as he turned to depart he gently explained that Lord Spencers in that particular locality were as plentiful as blackber- ries in the autumn time. Explanations and expostulations were useless, the dis- comfited earl being forced to return the way he had come.—Wit and Wisdom. Too Muck of It.

More than 200 years ago a little girl was born at Amsterdam, Holland, whose name was Joanne Koetren. She was a peculiar child in that she cared nothing whatever for play and sport, but found her greatest delight in mak- ing copies of things about her, imitat- ing in wax every kind of fruit and making on silk, with colored floss, ex- act copies of paintings, which were thought wonderful. Bat after she had become very ac- complished in music, spinning and em- broidery, she abandoned all these for a still more extraordinary art—that of cu. She executed landscapes, ma- rine views, flowers, animals and por- traif people of such striking resem- blance that she was for a time quite the wonder of Europe. She used white pa- pers for her cuttings, placing thein over a black surface, eo that the minute openings made by her scissors formed the "light and shade. " The czar, Peter the Great, and others of high rank paid her honor. One man high in office vainly offered her 1,000 florins for three small cuttings. The empress of Germany paid- her 4,000 florins for a trophy she had cut, bearing the arms of Emperor Leopold, crowned with eagles and snrronnded by a gar- land of flowers. She also cut the em- peror's portrait, which can now be seen in the Royal Art gallery in Vienna. A great many people went to see her, and she kept a book in which princes and princesses wrote their names. After she died, which was when she had lived 65 years, her husband, Adrian Block, erected a monument to her memory and had designed upon it the portraits of these titled visitors. Her cuttings were so correct in effect and so tasteful as to give both dignity and valve to her work and constitute her an artist whose exquisite skill with the scissors has never before or since been equaled. --Lewiston Journal. THE LADY THE WINNER. Amusing Occurrence In an Office Building Elevator In Chicago. People who ride in "lifts" in this city acquire some queer experiences at times. The Bailing of the floors where passengers desire to debark or embark not infrequently produces some amus- ing situations. It all depends upon the style of the person making the an- nouncement. Of course conductors are mute participants in the game. Here is one happening of yesterday which is certainly out of the usual run. Half a dozen passengers entered an elevator in a big down town office build- ing. Doctors office there almost to the exclusion of other professions. One boy with a package asked to be deposited at the second floor. A woman stood mute while a medical man thought he would leave at the fifth. The conductor turned an inquiring head and the re- maining passengers with one voice .chiming in full chorus shouted • "Tenth." "Seven up," murmured a gentle voice as the car reached the indicated floor. Two men seeking the tenth floor glanced at each other with grins of ap- preciation as a stenographer, and a pretty one, by the way, entered the car. She seemed unconscious of having cre- ated more than passing interest, but the conductor was alive to the situation. "The lady wins," he muttered to himself as he gave the lever a yank and the car shot upward again. —Chicago Chronicle. One on the Rector.

Here are some dc'i1nitions of 'isotherms that appear in American textbooks of geography "Those lines which are drawn through daces with an equal average of temper- ature are called isotherms. "Isotherms ars lines connecting places having the same mean tempera- ture for rarticnlar'periods, as the whole of the year. nee winter or summer months, etc. ' "If upon a mai all places having the same mean tomperntnre are con- nected by lines, etch lines are called • isothermal lines or:;lsimple isotherms." These definitions are part of the truth, but not the ;whole of it. It may not be a great calamity, but the fact is that most boys and girls leave school with a misconception as to what an Isotherm is, and they rarely find out in later years. They all ,know . that two elements, latitude and altitude, are the main fac- tors in determining the mean temper- ature of a place: that the farther a place is from the equator and the higher it stands above sea level the cooler its climate is. Bnt they do not know that isothermic maps take into account only one of these elements, andthat is lati- tude. They eliminate the influence of altitude. The isotherm passing over the top of Pike's peak does not show the mean temperature at the summit of the mountain, but whet the mean temper- ature would be in tbtat immediate neigh- borhood if the land, instead of rising high above the sea,' stood at the level of Coney Island. Do you see the reason for this? It may be easily explained. Most of the land does not rise so high above the sea that the temperature is greatly affected by altitude. To the majority of man- kind latitude is a far more important climatic element than altitude. Now, the effects on temperature of both lati- tude and altitude cannot well be shown on one man, and isothermic maps were devised to show the effects of latitude and some other element, such as posi- tion near the sea or in the far interior. An isothermic line, therefore, does not show the actual mean temperature of a place on it unless that place is at sea level. But it is easy to deduce from the isotherm the actual mean temperature of a place, if we"'know its elevation above the sea. How this is done is very clearly explained by Dr. H. R. Mill, the British geographer, as follows: "The air grows cooler by 1 degree F. for every 270 feet of elevation above sea level, but isothermic lines show the sea level temperature. In using isother- mic maps we mast therefore remember that places 600 feet above the sea level have a temperature 2 degrees lower than the isotherms indicate; places 6,000 feet above the sea, 22 degrees lower ; those 12,000 feet above the sea, 45 degrees lcwer, and the mountain slopes 18,000 feet above the sea no less than 66 degrees lower than the sea level temperature shown by the isotherms. This accounts for the fact that none of the important towns in the temperate zones is situated more than 2,000 feet above the sea, while in the tropics they are built at as great elevations as 8,000 or 10,000 feet. " Weather charts are an exception to this rule. They record the actual thermometrical readings at the points of observation. —New York Sun. William Black's Characters. Sir Wemyss Reid notes that William Black seldom allowed himself to be drawn into conversation about his work. One of Reid's recollections runs thus "One day, in the faroff past, I was walking along the sea front with Black, at Brighton, when he said abruptly and with reference to nothing that had been passing between us: 'We are not all en- gaged in sunning away with other men's wives. There are some of us who are not the victims of mental disease or moral deformity. I do not even know that anybody of my acquaintance has committed a murder or .a forgery. Yet people are angry with me because I do not make my characters in my books odious in this fashion. I prefer to write about sane people and honest people, and I imagine that they are, after all, in a majority in the world.' " Some Went to Glory. I once asked a district nurse, says a writer in The Cornhill Magazine, how the various sick cases had been going on during my absence from the parish. At once the look which I knew so well crossed her face, but her natural pro- fessional pride strove for the mastery with the due unctuousness which she considered necessary for the occasion. At last she evolved the following strange mixture, "Middling well, sir ; some of 'em's gone straight to glory, but I am glad to say others are nicely on the mend." Starting Him Right. "Ah I" sighed the sentimental youth.

The imprecations and Prophecy of the Condemned' Woman on the Scaffold Recalled by a Strange Blemish on Col. Buck's Tombstone. Close by the country road on the.ont- skirts of the sleepy old seaport town of Bucksport, on the Penobscot, down in Maine. is a small family cemetery. Within the inclosnre; with its high iron fence, 'in the quiet and almost gloomy shade, sleep the Bucks, the bineblooded and aristocratic clan which.fret settled the town and bequeathed it' their name —and a legend. Of the many inoas grown tablets and monuments the largest a'nd most con- spicuous is a tall granite shaft in plain sight of the highway. On one side is the inscription • • COL JOHN BUCK, The Founder of Bucksport. A. D. 1712. Born in Haverhill, Masi., 1718. Died March 18, 1798. On the other side is the single word "Buck," and also something not wrought by the marble worker. Ott the smooth surface of the pedestal is a curious outline, irregular and describ- ing that which can easily be imagined to be the form of a foot of normal size. Some people say that it is a foot, but those are of the superstitious town folk who believe the legend which has been choice stock in Bucksport for many years. They that delight in perpetrating this story say that Colonel Jonathan Buck was a very stern and harsh man and the leading spirit of his day and generation. His word was law in the community. He was the highest in civil authority and his decision as immova- ble as the granite hills that loom up in the haze of the northern horizon. He was most Puritanical, and to him witchcraft was the incarnation of blas- phemy. Thus, so the story goes, when a certain woman was accused of witch- craft, at the first clamorings of the pop- ulace Colonel Buck ordered her to be imprisoned, and later, after a mere form of a hearing, she was sentenced to be executed as a witch. She pleaded to Buck for her life, but as to a heart of att,ue. The day of the execution came and the condemned woman went to the gal- lows cursing her judge with such terri- ble imprecations that the people shud- dered, but the magistrate stood unmov- ed and made a sign to the officers to hasten the arrangements. All was ready and the hangman was about to perform his grewsome duty when the woman turned to Colonel Buck and raising one hand to heaven as if to direct her last words on earth pronounced this astound- ing prophecy: "Jonathan Buck, listen to these words, the last my$ongue shall utter. It is the spirit of the only true and liv- ing God which bids me speak them to yon. Yon will soon die. 'Over your grave they will erect a stone, that all may know where your bones are crum- bling into dust. But listen 1 Upon that stone the imprint of my feet will ap- pear, and for all time, long after your accursed race has perished from the face, of the earth, will the people from far and near know that you murdered a woman. Remember well, Jonathan Buck, remember well!" Then she turned to her executioners and another act, one of the forever in- effaceable blots, was made a part of American colonial history. Tho "witch's curse," as it was call- ed, and is to this day, was almost for- gotten until many years afterward, when the monument was erected to the mem- ory of Bncksport's founder. It had been in position hardly a month when a faint outline was discovered upon it. This gradually grew more and more distinct until some one made the startling dis- covery that it was the outline of a foot which some supernatural draftsman had traced on the granite. The old leg- end was revived and the Buck ceme- tery was for years the Mecca of the en- perstitious and curious for miles around. The "witch's curse" had been ful- filled, they said. An attempt was made to remove the stain, but all efforts tend- ed only to bring the outline out in bold- er relief. The stain or whatever it was seemed to penetrate to the very center of the stone. Tho hinges of the big gate have creaked for the last time to admit a Buck. The last of the race has been laid to rest beneath the oaks and ma- ples, and the setting sun throws the shadow of the once mighty Colonel Jonathan Buck's monument athwart the double row of mossy mounds, as if still exerting his authority, and the same rays light that mysterious tracing held up to the view of all that pass and repass along the dusty turnpike. The imprint of the foot is a fact, and is there today as plain as ever. The legend of the "witch's curse" may or may not be a fact. The fanciful defend the legend, but the practical point out the apparent discrepancy between the dates of the era of witchcraft/Persecu- tion itchcraft/ ersecn- tion and the regime of Colonel Buck They say that the stain is simply an accidental fault in the granite, and that the legend was made to fit the foot and not the foot the legend. But the foot is there. —Philadelphia Intgnirer. He Was .00n." The Count --I haf lofed your daugh- taire from ze fairst time we met. Her Father—Who had told yon that I was rich 1—Chicago News. A VICTIM OF TELEPATHY. Ills Absurd Delusions Finally Ban- ished by the Hypnotic Route. There came to me late one night s stranger in wildest despair resolved to commit suicide that night if I could not help him, says Professor Munster - berg in The Atlantic. He had been a physician, but had given up his prac- tice because his brother, on the other side of the ocean, hated him and had him under his telepathic influence, troubling him from over the sea with voices which mocked him and with im- pulses to foolish actions. He had not slept nor had he eaten anything for several days, and the only chance for life he saw was that a new hypnotic in- fluence might overpower the mystical hypnotic forces. I soon found the source of his trou- ble. In treating himself for a wound he had misused cocaine in an absurd way, and the hallucinations of voices were the chief symptom of his cocainism. These products of his poisoned brain had sometimes reference to his brother in Europe, and thus the telepathic sys- tem grew in him and permeated his whole life. I hypnotized him, and eng- gested to him with success to have sleep and food and a smaller dose of cocaine. Then I hypnotized him daily for six weeks. After ten days he gave up cocaine entirely, after three weeks the voices disappeared, and after that the other symptoms faded away. It was not, however, until the end that the telepathic system was exploded Even when the voices had gone he for awhile felt his movements controlled over- the ocean, and after six weeks, when I had him quite well again, he laughed over his telepathic absurdities, but assured me that if these sensations came again he should be enable, even in full health, to resist the mystical inter- pretation, so vividly had he felt the distant influences. VOCAL CULTURE. The First Step Is Keeping the Mouth • Shut, Asleep or Awake. •'Proper breathing is so essential in voice production that it most receive first attention, and the first requirement is to keep the mouth shut," writes Katharine E. Junkermann in The Wo- man's Home Companion. "Of coarse no tone can be either strong or pure if the lungs are cramped so that the air cannot find room. In or- der to increase the size of the lung ca- pacity raise the chest and keep the body well and strongly poised. "So much harm has been done to voicas" by allowing the mouth -to become the regular air passage that the need of care cannot be too frequently empha- sized. Besides the injury done by the unwarmed air entering the longs the mucous membrane is hardened by the saliva being dried np, and the muscles of the tongue and throat grow stiff and less responsive. It is comparatively easy to control one's breathing when awake, but when asleep the harm goes on. To remedy this involves a slight discom- fort, but one can endure it patiently looking to the end. Cut court plaster in- to little strips about one-fourth of an inch in width and paste several across the lips, placing them up and down, with the lips held naturally. If one is tempted to give np rather than endure the discomfort this method involves, a walk through an ordinary day coach or a night made hideous by the presence of a snorer in a near berth will cause a solemn vow to be taken never to do likewise." The /Eagle of Rome. The story of Rome is a tale of mur- der and sudden death, varied, chang- ing, never repeated in the same way; there is blood on every threshold; a tragedy lies buried in every`church and chapel, and again we ask in vain wherein lies the magic of the city that has fed on terror and grown old in carnage, the charm that draws men to her, the power that holds, the magic that enthralls men soul and body, as Lady Venus cast her spells upon Tann- hauser in her mountain of old Yet none deny it, and as centuries roll on the poets, the men of letters, the musi- cians, the artists of all ages, have come to her from far countries and have dwelt'here while they might, some for long years, some for the few months they could spare, and all of them have left something, a verse, a line, a sketch, a song that breathes the threefold mys- tery of love, eternity and death.— "Studies From the Chronicles of Rome," by Marion Crawford. The Spider's Elastic Appetite. The spider has a tremendous appetite, and his gormandizing defies all human competition. A scientist who carefully noted a spider's consumption of food in 24 hours concluded that if the spider were built proportionately to the human scales he would eat at daybreak (ap- proximately) a small alligator, by 7 a. m. a lamb, by 9 a. m. a young camelo- pard, by 1 o'clock a sheep and would finish up with a lark pie in which there were 120 birds. Yet, in spite of hie enormous appetite, a spider has wonder- ful power of refraining from food, and one has been known to live for ten months whep absolutely deprived of food.

Colonel R., an English officer station- ed in India, met with a singular adven- ture while tiger hunting in which he lost an arm. The colonel had wonnded a tiger from an elephant's back. The tiger charged. and the elephant, taking fright, bolted through the jungle. To save himself from being brained and swept off by overhanging branches, Colonel R. seized a stout limb and, rais- ing himself, left the elephant to go on *lone through the forest. To his dismay he found he had not strength and agil- ity sufficient to swit,g himself up to sit on the branch. In vain he strove to throw a leg over and so raise himself. Looking down, the sportsman diecov- ered that the tiger had spotted him and was waiting below. The horror of the situation can be imagined --the enraged tiger and the helpless, dangling man knowing he must fall into those creel jaws. How long he hang there he never knew. He - shouted and shrieked in an agony of fear. He eased one arm a lit- tle and then the other, then hang de- spairingly by both—till at last tired na- ture gave way and he dropped 1 He remembered thrusting one arm into the tiger's jaws, and then conscious- ness left him.

He Got the Votes. A congressman is thus quoted by the Washington Star: "The first race I ever made for con- gress resulted in my defeat by less than 50 majority, and if one of my friends had not been too zealous I would have been elected. There was a precinct where I expected to receive 100 votes, and I feared there would be some fraud in the precinct that world injure me, so I got an old man who bad never par- ticipated in politics, but who had al- most paramount influence in the dis- trict, to take charge of my in there, instructing him to see that ev y friend of mine voted and that the votes were counted. "When the returns came in, I bad not received a single vote in that pre- cinct, and the next day a bulky envel- ope was handed me containing 120 bal- lots, together with a letter from the man I had left in charge saying that he had seen every friend of mine and taken np their ballots so that none would be missed, and as he wouldn't trust the judges of elections he had sent them to me himself so I would be sure to get them. Since then I have seen to it that men in charge of my interests were not only honest, but knew something about politics. " F A Dog and a Telephone.

The Appetite, When Onee Acquired, Is Extremely Difficult 'to Control, and to Indulge It Meana a Short Cut to the Grave. Every great discovery in the world's istory has brought with it an accom- panying affliction, and it remained for the Klondike to develop a peculiar mania that threatens to ontrival opium eating. Among the residents of the far north it is known as the "snow habit," and it is said to be incurable. A returned Klondiker tells the strange story. "There are many atrange things in the Klondike." said the narrator, "but perhaps the strangest and that about which nothing has been written so far, is the dissipation caused by eating snow. In the north, when the ther- mometer reaches 30 to 40 degrees below zero, a mouthful of snow is like molten metal It brings an inflammation to the palate and tongue and it is impossible to quench the thirst. The first advice an old timer offers a newcomer in the region is 'Don't eat snow.' There are men in that country, once hearty, ro- bust miners, now weak, effeminate crea- tures. whose fall can be traced directly to the time they began munching snow. "The matter has been but little in- vestigated, but the scientists who have examined the subject say that the wa- ters of the north are rich with mineral deposits which are being constantly washed down from the mountain& A certain per cent of this mineral is taken into the air when vapor rises, and the snow becomes impregnated with it. There have been several falls of red snow near Point Barrow, the deposit being of a reddish brown color, due en- tirely to minerals. Thus it can be seen that a person eating large quantities of the snow takes into his system a corre- sponding amount of minerals." While coming down the Copper river last spring the narrator came upon a party of miners where one was dying from the effects of eatinw. He had been a hard drinker, bol had run short of whisky. His thirst became unendur- able and as water was scarce in mid- winter he had taken to eating snow. Soon he claimed it relieved his appetite for the liquor, but his companions no- ticed that his appetite for the snow in- creased until he was consuming enor- mous quantities. Gradually his skin, which was a dark bronze, grew light, his rugged stature became bent, and even his harsh voice changed to the fiffel;iinate squeak of an old woman. His strength gave way, and his com- panions tried to break him of the habit. He would lie on his pallet and moan pitifully for a mouthful of snow and when ' opportunity offered would steal unobserved to the doorway and gulp down huge handfuls. At last, seeing death was inevitable, his companions allowed him the snow, hoping to pro- long his life. It proved unavailing, however, and one morning the man was found dead. There are some spots on the Copper river where the snow, when melted and strained through a cloth, shows percep- tible signs of minerals, and often gold is found plentifully intermixed, but of course i,ot in paying quantities. Where this comes from is a mystery, but it may be brought from the far north by the heavy winter gales that sweep over this part of the country. It has been said that if the snow could be melted away it would leave deposits of millions of dollars in gold dust on the ground. The narrator had a close call himself from falling a victim to the snow habit. "It was in the winter of 1896-7," he said, "and I was new to the country. An old miner near Dawson had warned me against eating snow, but I, with my partner, had gone' back into the hills on a prospecting tour and had got caught in a b ' d. We were shy of pro- visions on our way up lost the package retaining our cooking uten- sils. This we remedied by broiling our Booked foods, but we had nothing in which to melt the snow. It is claimed that melted snow is harmless, as the metallic deposits it contains sink to the bottom of the receptacle. "We decided to try it 'raw,' and we did. Whether it was the food or the snow I don't know, but during the week we waited for a chance to get out we had an ever increasing thirst, until, when we were finally able to strike the trail, we were consuming snow at a frightful rate. When we reached our companions, we attempted to assuage par thirst with water, but it did no good. We 'had acquired a taste for the frozen water, and it seemed to have in- vigorating qualities. At night we could not sleep unless we took our snow. "We were fast approaching the de- generate stage when I reached a realiz- ing sense of our condition and under- took to break off. I began by degrees and worked down, but up to the very moment I left the country the sight of the snow always raised in me an inor- dinate craving. It cost me many sleep- less nights and weary days to restrain myself. Had I given way to the habit I wonld, like many another poor fellow, have Intl all ambition and filled an nn - known grave in that frozen wilderness. " —Cleveland Plain Dealer. Everybody Warned.

" - Deaver Times CAMELS HARBOR HATRED. Will Wait Until as Opportunity Ar- rives For Bes-en%s. The Arab who has angered a camel will throw his clothes upon the ground, and the infuriated beast, after stamp- ing on them and tearing them asunder with his teeth, goes on his way, and the driver is thereafter quite safe, as it seems to be an axiom with the camel that no man shall be put in peril of life twice for one offense. The camel is stupid, save when angry, i and then seems to become almost pre- ternatnral in carrying out its vengeful designs. Palgrave relates the following story of a camel's revenge, whiedi serves to illustrate this point. "A lad of 14 had condncted a large camel laden with wood from one village to another at a half hour's distance. As the animal loitered or turned ont of the way its conductor struck it repeats 4, and harder than it seemed to have thought he had aright to do. But not finding the occasion favorable for taking imme- diate quits it 'bode its time. ' That time was not long in coming. "A few day later the same lad had to recondnct the beast, but unladen, to his own village. When they were about half way on the road and at some dis- tance from any habitation, the camel soddenly stopped, looked deliberately round in every direction to assure it- self that no one was in --sight and, find- ing the road Blear of passersby, made a step forward, seized the unlucky boy's head in its monstrous mouth, and, lift- ing him up in the airi flung him down again on the earth with the upper part of his skull completely torn off. "Having thus satisfied his revenge, the brute quietly resumed its pace to- ward the village, as though nothing were the matter, till some men, who had observed the whole, though unfor- tunately at too great a distance to be able to afford timely help, came up and killed it. "—London Telegraph. NOT THE ONLY ONE. Spencers In That Locality Were as Thlok as Blackberries. A half yeatly meeting of the directors who manage the Northampton private asylum had just broken up, and Lord Spencer. a member of that body, desir- ing to reach Althorp Park somewhat more quickly than customarily, deter- mined to return home by a route which intersects the grounds of the asylum and which is rarely need save as a sum- mer parade for the unfortunate lunatics. Arrived at the gate which separates the asylum from the outer world, Lord Spencer, much to his annoyance and disgust, found it securely locked. A keeper, however, happening to come in sight just at that moment Lord Spencer lost no time in explaining to him the nature of his wishes. The man surlily replied that his or- ders were to the effect that no one should pass through that gate except due notice were given to him to the contrary by the authorities, and that, being a married man with a wife and a large family, he failed to understand what special advantage was to be gain- ed by transgressing the rales and thus placing his situation in jeopardy. Ob- serving that the fellow was growing ob- durate, Lord Spencer thought it best to reveal his name and rank, imagining that a knowledge of the same wonld re- call the man to his senses. Nothing of the sort happened, however. The stolid features of the keeper sim- ply relaxed into a broad grin, and as he turned to depart he gently explained that Lord Spencers in that particular locality were as plentiful as blackber- ries in the autumn time. Explanations and expostulations were useless, the dis- comfited earl being forced to return the way he had come.—Wit and Wisdom. Too Much of It.

More than 200 years ago a little girl was born at Amsterdam, Holland, whose name was Joanne Koetren. She was a peculiar child in that she cared nothing whatever for play and sport, but found her greatest delight in mak- ing copies of things about her, imitat- ing in wax every kind of fruit and making on silk, With colored floss, ex- act copies of paintings, which were thought wonderful. But after she had become very ac- complished in music, spinning and em- broidery, she abandoned all these for a still more extraordinary art—that of cutting. She executed landscapes, ma- rine views, flowers, animals and por- traits of people of such striking resem- blance that she was for a time quite the wonder of Europe. She used white pa- pers for her cuttings, placing them over a black surface, so that the minute openings made by her scissors formed the "light and shade." The czar, Peter the Great, and others of high rank paid her honor. One man high in office vainly offered her 1,000 florins for three small cuttings. The empress of Germany paid her 4,000 florins for a trophy she had cut, bearing the arms of Emperor Leopold, crowned with eagles and surrounded by a gar- land of flowers. She also cut the em- peror's portrait, which can now be seen in the Royal Art gallery in Vienna. A great many people went to see her, grid she kept a book in which princes and princesses wrote their names. After she died, which was when she had lived 65 years, her husband, Adrian Block, erected a monument to her memory and had designed upon it the portraits of these titled visitors. Her cuttings were so correct in effect and so tasteful as to give both dignity and valve to her work and constitute her an artist whose exquisite skill with the scissors has never before or since been equaled. —Lewiston Journal. THE LADY THE WINNER. Amusing Occurrence In an Oflloe Building Elevator In Chicago. People who ride in "lifts" in this city acquire some queer experiences at times. The galling of the floors where passengers desire to debark or embark not infrequently produces some amus- ing situations. It all depends upon the style of the person making the an- nouncement. Of course conductors are mute participants in the game. Here is one happening of yesterday which is certainly out of the usual run. Halt a dozen passengers entered an elevator in a big down town office build- ing. Doctors office there almost to the exclusion of other professions. One boy with a package asked to be deposited at the second floor. A woman stood mute while a medical man thought he would leave at the fifth. The conductor turned an ingpiring head and the re- maining passengers with one voice chiming in full chorus shouted • "Tenth." "Seven up," murmured a gentle voice as the car reached the indicated floor. Two men seeking the tenth floor glanced at each other with grins of ap- preciation as a stenographer, and a pretty one, by the way, entered the car. She seemed unconscious of having cre- ated more than passing interest, but the conductor was alive to the situation. "The lady wins," he muttered to himself as he gave the lever a yank and the car shot upward again.—Chicago Chronicle. One on the Rector.

Here are somedeinitions of isotherms that appear in Afnerican textbooks of geogry: "Thoseaphlines whih are drawn through -places with an equel average of temper- ature are called isartherms. "Isotherms aro lines connecting places having the same mean tempera- ture for particular nods, as the whole of the year -e <winter or summer mouths, eta. ' ' - "If upon a rani) all places having the same mean teeunperatnre are con- nected``by lines, such lines are called isothermal lines orysimple isotherms." These definition* are part of the truth, but not theavhole of it. It may not be a great calamity, but the fact is that most boys acid girls leave school with a misconception as to what an isotherm is. and t1 ey rarely find ont in later years. They ail Jcnow that two elements, latitude and altitude, are the main fac- tors in determining the mean temper- ature of a place; that the farther a place is from the equator and the higher it stands above see level the cooler its climate is. But they do not know that isothermic maps take into account only one of these elements, and that is lati- tude. They eliminate the influence of altitude. The isotherm passing over the top of Pike's peak does not show the mean temperature sit the summit of the mountain, but whet the mean temper- ature would be in that immediate neigh- borhood if the land, instead of rising high above the sea.' stood at the level of Coney Island. Do you see the reason for this? It may be easily explained. Most of the land does not rise s0 high above the sea that the temperature is greatly affected by altitude. To the majority of man- kind latitude is a far more important climatic element than altitude. Now, the effects on tempbratnre of both lati- tude and altitude cannot well be shown on one man, and isothermic maps were devised to show the effects of latitude and some other element, such as posi- tion near the sea or in the far interior. An isothermic link, therefore, does not show the actual mean temperature of a place on it unless that place is at sea level. But it isto deduce from the isotherm the a mean temperature of a place, if we 44iy iii °"e evtl"ido above the sea. How this is done is very clearly explained by Dr. H. R. Mill, the British geographer, as follows: "The air grows cooler by 1 degree F. for every p70 feet of elevation above sea level, but isothermic lines show the sea level temperature. In using isother- mio maps we must therefore remember that places 600 feet above the spa level have a temperature 2 degrees lower than the isotherms indicate; places 6,000 feet above the sea, 22 degrees lower ; those 12,000 feet above the sea, 45 degrees lcwer. and the mountain slopes 18,000 feet above the sea no less than 66 degrees lower than the sea level temperature shown by the isotherm& This accounts for the fact that none of the important towns in the temperate zones is situated more than 2,000 feet above the sea, while in the tropics they are built at as great elevations as 8,000 or 10,000 feet." Weather charts are an exception to this rule. They record the actual thermometrical readings at the points of observation.—New York Sun. William Blade's Characters. Sir Wemyss Reid notes that William Black seldom allowed himself to be drawn into conversation about his work One of Reid's recollections rnns thus "One day, in the faroff past, I was walking along the sea front with Black, at Brighton, when he said abruptly and with reference to nothing that had been passing between us: 'We are not all en- gaged in sunning away with other men's wives. There are some of ns who are not the victims of mental disease or moral deformity. I do not even know that anybody of my acquaintance has committed a murder or a forgery. Yet people are angry with me because I do not make my characters in my books odious in this fashion. I prefer to write about sane people and honest people, and I imagine that they are, after all, in a majority in the world.' " Some Went to Glory. I once asked a district nurse, says a writer in The Cornhill Magazine, how the various sick cases had been going on during my absence from the Garish. At once the look which I knew so well crossed her face, but her natural pro- fessional pride strove for the mastery with the due unctuousness which she considered necessary for the occasion. At last she evolved the following strange mixture, "Middling well, sir ; some of 'em's gone straight to glory, but I am glad to say others are nicely on the mend " Starting Hina Right.

The Imprecations and Prophecy of .the Condemned Woman on the Sea Yd Recalled by a Strange Blemish on Col. Buck's Tombstone. Close by the country road on the ont- akirts of the sleepy old seaport town of Bucksport, on the Penobscot. down in Maine. is a small family cemetery. Within the inclosure, with its high iron fence, in the qniet and almost gloomy shade, sleep the Bucks, the bluebiooded and aristocratic clan which first settled the town and bequeathed it their name —and a legend. Of the many moss grown tablets and monuments the largest and most con- spicuous is a tall granite shaft in plain sight of the highway. On one side is the inscriptiou • COL. JOHN BUCK, The Founder of Bucksport. A. D. 1782. Born in Haverhill, Mass., 1713. Died March 18, 1795. On the other side is the `single word "Buck, " and also something not wrought by the marble worker. On the smooth surface of the pedestal is a curious outline, irregular and describ- ing that which can easily be imagined to he the form of a foot of normal size. Some people say that it is a foot, but those are of the superstitious town folk who believe the legend which has been choice stock in Bucksport for many years. They that delight in perpetrating this story say that Colonel Jonathan Buck was a very stern and harsh man and the leading spirit of his day and generation. His word was law in the community. He was the highest in civil authority and his decision as immova- ble as the granite hills that loom up in the haze of the northern horizon. He was most Puritanical, and to him witchcraft was the incarnation of blas- phemy. Thus, so the story goes, when a certain woman was accused of witch- craft, at the first clamorings of the pop- ulace Colonel Buck ordered her to be imprisoned, and later, after a mere form of a hearing, she was sentenced to be executed as a witch. She pleaded to Buck for her life, but as to a heart of The day of the execution came and the condemned woman went to the gal- lows cursing her judge vvith such terri- ble imprecations that the people shud- dered, but the magistrate stood unmov- ed and made a sign to the officers to hasten the arrangements. All was ready and the hangman was about to perform his grewsome duty when the woman turned to Colonel Buck and raising one hand to heaven as if to direct her last words on earth prononnced this astound- ing prophecy: "Jonathan Buck, listen to these words, the last my tongue shall utter. It is the spirit of the only true and liv- ing God which bids me speak them to you. You will soon die. Over your grave they will erect a stone, that all may know where your bones are crum- bling into dust. But listen 1 Upon that stone the imprint of my feet will ap- pear, and for all time, long after your accursed race has perished from the face of the earth, will the people from far and near know that you murdered a woman. Remember well, Jonathan Buck, remember well!" Then she turned to her executioners and another act, one of the forever in- effaceable blots, was made a part of American colonial history. The "witch's curse," as it was call- ed, and is to this day, was almost for- gotten until many years afterward, when the monument was erected to the mem- ory of Bncksport's founder. It had been in position hardly a month when a faint outline was discovered upon it. This gradually grew more and more distinct until some one made the startling dis- covery that it was the outline of a foot which some supernatural draftsman had traced on the granite. The old leg- end was revived and the Buck ceme- tery was for years the Mecca of the su- perstitious and curious for miles around. The "witch's curse" had been ful- filled, they said. An attempt was made to remove the stain, but ail efforts tend- ed only to bring the outline out in bold- er relief. The stain or whatever it was seemed to penetrate to the very center of the stone. The hinges of the big gate have creaked for the last time to admit a Buck. The last of the race has been laid to rest beneath the oaks and ma- ples, and the setting sun throws the shadow of the once mighty Colonel Jonathan Buck's monument athwart the double row of mossy mounds, as if still exerting his authority, and the same rays light that mysterious tracing held up to the view of all that pass and repass along the dusty turnpike. The imprint of the foot is a fact, and is there today as plain as ever. The legend of the "witch's curse" may or may not be a fact. The fanciful defend the legend, but the practioal point out the apparent discrepancy between the dates of the era of witchcraft persecu- tion and the regime of Colonel Back They say that the stain is simply an accidental fault in the granite, and that the legend was made to tit the foot and not the foot the legend But the foot is there. —Philadelphia Inquirer. A VICTDM OF TELEPATHY. His Absurd Delusions Finally Ban- ished by the Hypnotic Route. There came to me late one night a stranger in wildest despair resolved to commit suicide that night if I could npt help him, says Professor Monster - berg in The Atlantic. He had been a physician, but had given up his prao- tice because his brother, on the other side of the ocean, hated him and had him under his telepathic inflilence, troubling him from over the sea with voices which mocked him and with im- pulses to foolish actions. He had not slept nor had he eaten anything for several days. and the only chance for life he saw was that a new hypnotic in- fluence might overpower the mystical hypnotic forces. I soon found the source of his trou- ble. In treating himself for a wound he had misused cocaine in an absurd way, and the hallucinations of voices were the chief symptom of his cocainism. These .products of his poisoned brain had sometimes reference to his brother in Europe, and thus the telepathic sys- tem grew in him and permeated his whole life. I hypnotized him, and sug- gested to him with success to have sleep and food and a smaller dose of cocaine. Then I hypnotized him daily for six weeks. After ten days he gave up cocaine entirely, after three weeks the voices disappeared, and after that the other symptoms faded away. It was not, however, until the end that the telepathic system was exploded. Even when the voices had gone he for awhile felt his movements controlled over the ocean, and after six weeks, when I had him quite Well again, he langhed over his telepathic absurdities, but assured me that if these sensations came again he should be unable, even in full health, to resist the mystical inter- pretation, nterpretation, so vividly had he felt the distant influence& VOCAL CULTURE. The First Step Is Keepiag the Mouth Shut, Asleep or Awake. "Proper breathing is so essential in voice production that it must receive first attention, and the first requirement is to keep the month shut," writes Katharine E. Junkermann in The Wo- man's Home Companion. "Of coarse no tone can be either strong or pure if the longs are cramped so that the air cannot find room.

It is comparatively easy to control one's breathing when awake, but when asleep the harm goes on. To remedy this involves a slight discom- fort, but one can endure it patiently Iooking to the end.

The story of Rome is a tale of mur- der and sudden death, varied, chang- ing, never repeated in the same way; there is blood on every threshold; a tragedy lies buried.in every church and chapel, and again we ask in vain wherein lies the magic of the city that has fed on terror and grown old in carnage, the charm that draws men to her, the power that holds, the magic that enthralls men soul and body, as Lady Venus cast her spells upon Tann- hauser in her mountain of old. Yet none deny it, and as centuries roll on the poets, the men of letters, the anasi- cians, the artists of all ages, have come to her from far countries and have dwelt here while they might, some for long years, some for the few months they could spare, and all of them have left something, a verse, a line, a sketch, a song that breathes the threefold mys- tery of love, eternity and death.— "Studies From the Chronicles of Rome, " by Marion Crawford.

To save ` himself from being brained and swept off by overhanging branches,, Colonel R. seized a stout limb and, rais- ing himself, left the elephant to go on alone through the forest. To his dismay;; lie found he had not strength and agil- ity gileity sufficient to swing himself up to si on the branch. In vain he strove to,. throw a leg over and so raise himself Looking down, the sportsman discov- ered that the tiger had spotted him and was waiting below. The horror of the situation can be imagined—the enraged tiger and the helpless, dangling man knowing he most fall into those cruel jaw& How long he hung t 11re he never knew. He shouted and shrieked in an agony of fear. He eased one arm a lit- tle and then the other, then hung de- spairingly by both—till at last tired na- ture gave way and he dropped! He remembered thrusting one arm into the tiger's jaws, and then conscious- ness left him. His life was saved by the arrival of a friendly rifle barrel held close to the tiger's head awl through the subsequent amputation of the mangled arm by a skillful surgeon.—Youth's Companion. The Art of Doing Nothing. One mark of the modern man is his inability to idle. When he has to work for his living, he will grumble lavishly, telling you that leisure is what he longs for ; that an idle life is his unat- tainable ideaL Bnt let him come into 'a fortune and Yon will see. Does he use his new affluence in the only reasonable way, making soft places for himself wherein he can idle happily ? Not he; he runs to and fro about the city like the Scripture dog, risking the portion of, goods that has come to him among the outside brokers, or he tries the muscles of his stomach on a yacht, or he deliv- ers himself, bound hand and foot, to the tyranny of the racing stables, or he becomes a philanthropist, or throws his` unconquerable energy into amateur photography. To a dweller in the sheepfolds the question comes urgent, insistent, When does a man come into thiahis birthright of sntlike industry? When does this inability to idle groron him? In tie" time of his lambhood he will do any- thing, everything, to insure his doing nothing. To attain this object he will . iplainf. rvi . .ton► -.pair o. nn - as.s...t/ thought. He will achieve his -end even in "prep. " with the eye of the shep- herd upon him, and it will be perceived that to do nothing when talking is im- possible and staring about, an expensive luxury, requires a talent amounting al- most to genius. —Pall Mall Gazette. He Got the Votes. A congressman is thus qnoted by the Washington Star: "The first race I ever made for con- gress resulted in my defeat by less than 60 majority, and if one of my friends had not been too zealous I would have been elected. There was a precinct where I expected to receive 100 votety and I feared there would be some fraud in the precinct that would injure me, so I got an old man who had never par ticipated in politics, but who bad al- most paramount influence in the ►►die - tract, to take charge of my in ofies there, instructing him to see that friend of mine voted and that the v were counted. "When the returns came in, I had not received a single vote alt -that pre- cinct, and the next day a balky envel- ope was handed me containing 120 bal- lots, together with a letter from the man I had left in charge saying that he had seen every friend of mise and taken up their ballots so that none would be missed, and aa he wouldn't trust the judges of elections he had sent them to me himself so I world be sure to get them. Since then I have seen to it that men in charge of my interests were not only honest, but knew something about. politics. " A Dog and a Telephone. - At the Redhill railway station a pas- senger recently came to the station master in great grief, saying that her little pet dog had been left by accident on the platform at Reigate and would likely be either crushed by a locomotive or lost. The courteous official telephoned through respecting the poodle, and the answer came immediately that a dog of that description had just been brought into the police station. The receiver was put to the dog's ear, and the lady was asked to speak to it. She did ss. . The effect was eleotrita 1.

IRVING TODD & SON. SATURDAY. FEB. 4th, 1899. 8ICC OND H:DIT` ION. Care of the Insane. At the present writing no one knows just what the policy of the state will be in reference to the location of a fourth asylum, but from reports re- ceived the county asylum system is the most unpopular of any thus far proposed. C. B. Burr, M. D.. of Flint, Mich., in an article which recently appeared in The Journal of Insanity, sums up his objections to the plan as follows: 1. Absence of the hospital idea. 2. Lack of medical oversight. 3. The inadequate care of patients, par- ticularly of the filthy and feeble classes and epileptics. 4. Lack of sufficient attendants, which necessitates patients remaining too much indoors, particularly in the winter time. 5. Lack of standards of care prescribed and enforced by central authority, superi- or to politics, as shown in the extreme variation in per capita cost and differences in beds. furnishings, attendance, etc. 6. Lack of efficient state supervision. 7, Frequent lack of discriminating local supervision, this due chiefly to ab- sence of knowledge of the requirements of the insane and the desire to make favorable financial showings to boards of supervisors. The above conclusions leave little ground for argument in favor of what is known as the Wisconsin system. To settle the controversy to the satisfaction of all and prove by our acts that we fully realize the demands of humanity in this case, for of all the poor unfortunates in this world none require more careful considera- tion than the insane there should be located small hospitals at Anoka in the sixth district. and at Hastings in the third, a solution of the problem which seems of easy consummation. From all past records it will be observed that these institutions have much better management when under state control, and are much more successful in the treatment of the many necessarily extreme cases than where a local feeling of hostility to the administration would be possible. People as a rule do not know the needs of the insane, and give but little attention to the matter until they begin to realize what can \be done for them, then they are convinc- ed that the one thing most needful is the highest standard of care. The correspondence between Gov. Lind and J. S. O'Brien, concerning the removal of the latter from the board of prison managers, probably - es -ore hut e_amesll ix rt.on of the al- leged proposition. The omission would undoubtedly be interesting reading. If there was any hint ing at a division of the fees in the surveyor general's office, the late in- ctimbent probably found that there had been a change in governors since the first -Monday of January. A tackers' training school can be secured fol: this city next summer, provided an effort is made to secure the necessary boarding places for those in attendance. The designa- tion will be made by Supt. Lewis in a few days, consequently what is done in this direction must be done at Once. The late state oil inspector reports the fees collected and retained by deputies for the past two years at $19,547.65; collected by himself, $36,368.29; expenses, $9,690.51. This would leaye a net income of $26,577.78. How much did the ap- pointment cost him? • A Spring Valley teacher, a graduate of the Maukato normal school last summer, was married on the lst inst. It cost about $2,000 to give her a diploma, and she has taught less than six months. The investment was a very poor one for the state. Gov. Lind has, appointed David Bronson, of Stillwater, as a member of the board of managers of the state prison, in place of J. S. O'Brien, re- moved. This action is likely to pre- cipitate a fight in the democratic wing of the fusionists, The governor has discovered that he cannot have two members of the normal school board from the same county, consequently the nominations of Pierce Butler, of Ramsey, and. J. A. De Bois, of Stearns. have been withdrawn. The next examination for the special embalmers' license will be held at the state university, Minne- apolis, on the 28th inst., at ten a. m. A. G.

Robert Brown, who has been quite sick with la grippe, is able to be out again. Owing to the intense cold and storm last week Thursday there were only seven boys at school in District 39. There is so much grain coming in at the elevater at Empire Station that Mr. Woodard has been obliged to stay down evenings and attend to it, besides vtorking two men. Miss Maud Whittier is having rather more than her share of sick- ness. Three weeks ago she had a severe attack of la grippe, got better, and, being anxious to take the state examinations, went bat;k to Farming- ton to school last week. Saturday she was taken with tonsillitis and was just getting better when inflammatory rheumatism set in. We hope under Dr. Dodge's treatment she will soon be out again. Hampton Items.

A. Leonard retiring. He has been an active member of the profession since 1865, and will be greatly missed in our future gatherings. The Northfield Independent says "the bill to have all legal executions take place within the state pgison at Stillwater has made its appearance again. Isn't there enough evil concen- trated there already? Would it not tend to destroy whatever of good there may be in the influence of prison life? Why not let Hastings have the fourth insane asylum and make Anoka the location of the official state gal- lows?" Sure thing; that would give Anoka a state institution that would at least attract much attention when there was business on hand. -Still- water Gazette. County Hospitals. It is impracticable, now, or in the near future, to establish and maintain in Minnesota a system of county hos- pitals for the insane. An attempt to do so would simlily involve the state in an expensiye experiment with a certainty that, sooner or later, we would have to return to the present systetn,leaving upon the hands of the state, or the counties where the ex- periment was tried, a lot of unpro- ductive real estate and useless build- ings. It might be possible for the counties of Ramsey, Hennepin, and St. Louis to maintain each a hospitar for itself, but no other county in the state could afford to do so, and any legislation looking to the establish- ment of the county hospital plan might as well be labeled at the start as "A bill to provide special privileg- es for counties having a population of more than fifty thousand." New York state has tried the county hospital plan, and has practically abandoned it because of the burdens it imposes upon the less thickly popu- lated counties, and because it has been found that to commit an insane per- son to one of these institutions means nothing more or less than a life sen- tence as a pauper patient committed to the rough custody of some contract keeper without knowledge or means for administering scientific treatment for the mental malady afflicting the patient. No man with a heart softer than a stone could contemplate the brother, child, or friend to such an in- stitution without a shudder. If any one wants an object lesson in the county hospital experiment let him visit one of the poor farms of the mid- dle -southern states where imbecile and lunatic patients are committed to the care of a county gaoler, and left there to vegetate and drag out a piti- ful, miserable existence without even a thought of an attempt to cure. Minnesota should be the last state in the union to think of resorting to such an inhuman system for the care of its defectives. The best system is the cheapest system, and that which deals most humanely with the wards of the state is the best system, even leaving out of consideration the ques- tion of scientific treatment. It stands to reason that an institution having a corps of trained nurses and scientific physicians can do more for the relief of the afflicted insane than could possi- bly be done at some sequestered place where medical attendance would be the exception rather than the rule, and where it would be impossible to secure the services of competent medical men. Insanity is a - i-sease, not a crime, and the insane should be treated as invalids, not as criminals. They should receive the tenderest solicitude and deepest case of the state, and no effort should be spared to restore them to the use of their faculties. It would be little short of a crime to adopt a system which would treat insane as merely so many cattle to be kept alive for appearances sake, and left to com- plete their span of life under the shadow and gloom of an alienated mind. -Princeton Union. The Insane Asylum. Anoka and Hastings are yet light- ing for the next insane asylum, and, if they accomplish nothing else, may defeat the county asylum project. - Taylor's Falls Journal. The Union is weary of the hereto- fore ceaseless warfare between Anoka and Hastings over the fourth asylum, and welcomes most any proposition that will bring peace and satisfaction to both places. -Anoka Union. There is a scheme on foot to give both Hastings and Anoka a hospital for insane. The state does not need two such institutions at this time, and if we must have one let it go to Hast- ings where it honestly h,'longs. Such monkey work as was indulged in to do up Hastings should be frown- ed down once for all., --Echo Enter- prise. Now that the legislature is in ses- sion the usual hubbub as to the location of a fourth asylum for the insane is on. The same old selfish fight, Hastings for Hastings and Anoka for Anoka. They appear to be the whole thing, because a fool commission located it first at one place and then the other. The trouble began when the commission make known their decision fbr Hast- ings and then waddled over to the Anoka site. The whole trouble lies at the door of this commission. Since the Wisconsin plan of caring for the insane is being discussed, and it being deemed necessary more room be provided, why not as a starter in line with/that plan put in a moderate plant at each place? Always provid- ed, however, they are needed. A little practical common sense mixed in with the discussions on the subject by the law making power would be for the best interests of the state at large. -Renville Star Farmer. During the "late unpleasantness," a great many voters gave their X to John Lind instead of to William Henry Eustis, for the reason that Eustis' name was used at one time as a director of the Guarantee Loan Company, although it was shown that William Henry never owned a dollar in stock or was interested in the con- cern in any way. Now Lind rewards the confidence placed in him by giv- ing the best job in his gift to • an active director of this same Guaran- tee Loan Company, an office which draws in three times as many dollars as that of governor of the state. -St, Cloud Journal -Press. Gov. Lind has sent in the name of Supt. Lewis, of Hastings, to be super- intendent of public instruction of the state of Minnesota. A good appoint- ment. -Prescott Tribune. School Board Proceedings. Regular meeting, Feb. 1st. Pres- ent Messrs. Adsit, Cadwell, Dean, Hanna, Hanson, and McHugh, the president in the chair. The following resignation was read and accepted: HASTINGS, Jan. 21st, 1899. To the Board of Education: I herewith hand you my resignation as superintendent of the public schools in Hastings, to take effect from date hereof. In severing my relations with the schools of our city and with the board of educa- tion, as superintendent, I wish to thank the members of this board, and of the several boards that have preceded it since 1879, for the confidence they have reposed in me, for the unfailing support they have given me, and for the loyal, faithful service they have rendered to the schools of this city, I am' proud of the relations which i have sustained to the educational interests of Hastings, but, above all, of the children in our schools and of the young men and women graduated from them, who, in the honorable, useful lives they are now leading, are reflecting credit upon the schools in which they have been educated and upon the community in which they have been reared. Respect- fully yours, J. H. LEWIS. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, It has pleased the governor of this great state to call to the adminis- tration of one of the branches of our state government, superintendent of public instruction, our most beloved superin- tendent and esteemed fellow citizen, John U. Lewis, thereby bestowing a gift most worthily, and marking our city and our schools for most singular honor, and WHEREAS, This appointment has taken from us the man who for the past twenty years has been the guiding spirit of our public schools, and who by a constant sincerity of purpose, earnestness, and fidelity has built up our public schools until they are an example to the entire state, attracting wide attention; who by his ever unselfish loyalty, wise patience, and discriminating care has conserved always the various interests of our schools in 'all their relationships, and who has given to this work the best years of his life, and at all times held the confidence, esteem, and love of the body of students to whom he has been an inspiration and help to such an extent as to largely in- fluence their lives; and who has during his long term of service in this city been a public spirited citizen, active in every- thing intended to promote public welfare, and in many ways a most generous bene- factor, therefore, be it Resolved. That the board of education of the city of Hastings hereby expresses to Prof. Lewis its extreme gratification at his success, believing its loss to be the state's gain; and, in extending heartiest congratulations, assures him of its cordial support in th discharge of his new duties, and be it fu her Resolved, `hat this board hereby makes public acknowledgement of its apprecia- tian, gratitude, and thankfulness to Prof. Lewis for his pre-eminent service in be- half of our schools, for his generous co- operation with us in all efforts to advance the standard of our public school system, and for his continued devotedness and steadfast fidelity to every educational interest with which we have been con- cerned, and be it further Resolved, That we assure Prof. Lewis of our appreciation of his work here, and that he carries with him to his new duties the warm friendship of this board, as well as the esteem of the community, and if his success be measured by the good wishes of his friends, that success will be limitless. The committee on teachers report- ed that they had engaged Miss Lyd T. Lagerstrom, of Minneapolis, assistant in the high school for th remainder of the school year, " at salary of $60 per month.

If she contin- ues her present record she will have established a name which will become a close rival to that of Maria Ricks, the great window smasher. The woman arrived iu town this noon on the fast mail train, the Lake City officials having sent her here. She made a straight bee line for a saloon on blain Street and was about to beg a drink, when Officer Peterson arrived upon the scene. Mr. Peterson decid- ed that she should not repeat her con- duct of a week ago, and so promptly marched her off to jail. A representative of The Repub- lican visited the woman in the jail this afternoon and elicited the follow- ing information from her: I do not live in Cannon Falls, as the papers stated, but I had relatives living there. I went to that place to visit my sister; but when I got there she was in Austin getting a divorce. Since she got divorced she calls herself Flynn. My sister's son is a section boss on the rail- road and his name is Gorman. The sta- tion agent in Cannon Falls told me that he had come to Red Wing, and so 1 decided to come here and visit him. I was mar- ried, but am now divorced. My husbands, name was Dougherty. Why do I some- times call myself Catty? That was my mother's maiden name. and it is shorter than the other one. Since I was here last 1 have been as far as La Crosse. I didn't get into many saloons there. The police in that town sent me back to Wi- nona, and from there I was sent to Lake City. Yes, I have been traveling real much the last year. I didn't travel much before, Yes, I go into saloons sometimes. 1 am looking for work; any kind of work. Well, I don't care, I would just as soon do housework, The woman is about thirty-five or forty years old, and seems to think her conduct is above reproach. The officers here sent her to Hastings this after- noon, on a freight train. -Red Wing Republb'can, 80th ult. Osteopathy.

PITZENS, the Shoemen, Hastings, Minn. Enteric Fever In India. Attention is again being directed at the war office to the extraordinary mor- tality from enteric fever, or typhoid, among young officers in recent years. The number of cases in oonneotion with the Sudan expedition has forced the subject on the notice of the authorities, but the cause in Egypt was obviously the impure water of the Nile, which it was not always practicable to boil and filter according to medical regulations. But the case of India is even more seri- ous, for there the water supplied to messes and garrisons is most carefully looked to, and yet the high death rate from this cause is becoming a perma- nent factor. It is believed indeed that the mortality from the disease is in- creasing, and it is therefore all the more desirable that full statistics on the sub- ject should be collected and published, while at the same time stricter precau- tionary measures should at once be en- forced. Cholera used to be the terror of India as far as the army was concerned, but now its place is usurped by enterio fever. -London Cor. Manchester Guard- ian. Cure For Alcoholism, Dr. Rybakow, a prominent Russian physician, states that he has discovered a positive and effective cure for the drink habit. His method consists of a series of hypnotic treatments. Men ad- dicted to liquor are easy subjects and can be brought under mesmerio influ- ence in a very short time. The first ef- fect of the cure is the refreshment of the shattered constitution, and this gradually brings about abhorrence for intoxicants of any kind.

If reason- able care is used, however, and Chamber- lain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for la grippe we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which show conclusively that this remedy is a certain preventive of that dangerous dis- ease. It will cure la grippe in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by J.G.Sieben. Mustered Out. H. L. Burke, of Troup L, Sixth U. S. Cavalry, arrived from Ft.

Those who have traveled much through the damp jungles of India, such as the Terai, cannot have helped noticing the large amount of fungoid growth, both terrestrial and epiphytical, that presents itself, much of which is edible, but requires an intimate ac- quaintance with botany to determine between the poisonous and nninimical. What were not long since considered semisavage races on the northeast fron- tier are the best guides the uninitiated, however, can employ to distinguish the two classes. So close is the resemblance that it would be dangerous for the ig- norant traveler to trust to his own un- aided discrimination, and if the services of a human nomad are not available the fungi should be submitted to the equally au fait judgment of a tame monkey—a thing no traveler should be without. The animal mast be very closely watched when sitting in judgment, es- pecial notice being taken of his counte- nance. If the specimen is poisonous, there is a decided look of disgust ap- parent, as the creature throws it from him, but if nonpoisonous it is torn into fragments, first smelled and then trans- ferred to the mouth, in which case one may rest perfectly satisfied that it is edible, even though "jackoo" may not eat it. In no case will our remote con- nections make a mistake, nor, for that matter, will an elephant either. 'A spare elephant or two is also a handy thing to have among your luggage.—Indian Planters' Gazette. Tricks of a Pet Crane. My friend has a' pet Florida crane of which he is very fond. The crane stands at one side by the hour, just pluming himself, then picking at shoe buttons and finger rings. Occasionally he is in- dulged in a favorite pastime—that of taking the hairpins out of his mistress' hair. In nature he is as gentle and affectionate as a kitten, and as he has never been teased he has no enmity for anything except a dog. One night he was attacked by a strange dog, and since then his hatred for any canine oth- er than the home dog is intense. Dick has always been inordinately fond of his master, whom he makes ev- ery effort to please. It is at his com- mand that he will dance. bowing and twirling in the most graceful manner; then circling with wings distended around the yard and back again to bow and courtesy as before. Another very pleasing recognition of his intelligence is the manner in which he always welcomes his owner. He rec- ognizes his horse and carriage as far as his eye can reach, and long before the bird is in view his voice is heard trum- peting a greeting, which is continued until the master reaches the gate, when at the single command, "Loader, Dick I" he throws his head back and gives forth a long gurgling note, indicating joy and pleasure. To no one else will he give this welcome. It is unique and pe- culiar—for his owner alone. —Forest and Stream. Every square mile of sea contains 120 000, 000 fish of various kinds.

Recognized as a Leader of Republican Opinion. The New York Tribune offers to the public a newspaper which is absolutely representative of the best *pinion of the republican party on all nati nal issues. It is dignified, strong, complete a patriotic. The Daily Tribune is $10 a year. The Weekly, til. but can be obtained, in conjunction with various local papers, on more advantageous terms. The semi-weekly is tat a year. • A Newspaper and Magazine both. The Semi -Weekly Tribune, printed Tuesdays and Fridays, is one of the best general newspa- pers in the country for a wide awake fernier, pro- tessioual man, merchant, manufacturer or me- chanic. It saves the necessity of buying other newspapers. It supplements admirably a local daily: many people take it in place of one. The agricultural page will contain'thie year, in addition to regular features, a weather review, many descriptions of the actual results obtained on small farms. and other matters of pertioular use to gardeners, fruit growers, farmers, dairy- men and live stock raisers. Stories of the War with Spain. During each week the reader will find a column of Questions and Answers, letters from corres- pondents in London and Paris; a page devoted to science and mechanics; home interests and other things which interest women, including the Tribune Sunshine Society; some good games of checkers; a series of thrilling stories of actual experieuces in the war with Spain, written by soldiers and sailors: and advance information of new enterprises of importance to manufacturers, mechanics, and business men. Market Reports the Standard. The market report will be kept up to their resent high standard. It is the intention of The Tribune at all times to add to them whatever quotations will render them of greater value. The finest compliment paid to The Semi -Weekly Tribune is the fact that it enjoys the subscrip- tions of a large number of merchants, dairymen and farmers who disagree with its political sen- timents, but who find its accurate market reports essential to the prover conduct of their business. It is always safe to look at The Tribune before one buys or sells country produce. Once a week there is a special market article on one particu- lar topic. Pictorial Suppleinent. With Friday's number there is an illustrated supplement, twenty to twenty-four pages, printed on specially fine paper, full of delightful reading, enlivened with from thirty or fifty half tone or other pictures. Every reader admits that this Supplement is equal to a magazine in ite con- tents, and better than a magazine in being quick- er to lay before its readers perfectly fresh discus- sions of matters which are attracting attention. Sample copies of Friday's issue will be sent free on application. The gupplement contains two pages of humor; a fascinating letter from Ex - Attache, a gentleman who has served at tnany of the great courts of the world, and who speaks of kings, emperors and noblemen from actual knowledge; book reviews; short stories; dramatic and musical criticisms: the tine work ot great architects and artists; letters from abroad; talk on scientific subjects, new war ships, eto.; gossip by pungent writers; and,in teat, the whole range of higher topica iD which Intelligent men and women are deeply interested, and a protusion of =' beautiful illustrations.

There was an air of suppressed exo went among the members of the 0 club which culminated iu an open d onstration as the reading of the o stitution was demanded. The p'resid rapped loudly for order. "It has been requested that the o stitution be read," she said, in a of high soprauo. The girls settled down in their pla and, amid comparative quiet, the ee tary, clearing her throat, began: "This organization shall be cal 'The Chaney Elopement club.'

Professor Harper smiled indulgent "It must be 2 o'clock or after," said. "Oh, you bad guesser!" And Gra laughingly handed back the wato "It is only half past 1." " Why, so it is!" exclaimed the pr fessor, amazed. "I was almost positi that it was after 2; but thatwill gi us time for a long tramp." So on they went farther and farth into the woods, until at last, with ar filled with fine specimens of maide hair, they sat down on a mossy stone analyze them. "When we are married, Grace, I ho to find a rare pupil in you. We ha only a year to wait now until your f ther considers you old enough," co tinned he. "I don't mind saying you, little girl, that I find the wait tedious at times." Grace's heart throbbed rapidly. "Then you would not mind ve We. much if something should happen that . E. would make us marry sooner, would em- you?" she asked, in a low tone. on- "No, dear; I should not; not in the ent least. But there!" the professor sighed heavily. "Your father is quite right, on - quite right, and we mast wait. Now, shall we analyze a few more specimens?" ear, They turned again to the ferns and so the time passed. Suddenly the pro- ws fessor teemed to realize that time was cre- flying and whipped out his watch. "B:ees my soul!" he cried. " We will led barely have time to get to the boat. It EC- is 4 o'clock. We must hurry, Grace." are They had not gone far before the deep whistle sounded on their ears. ven " V by ! We can never reach the boat all in time iu the world!

"The wrrst of it is that they will think we did it on purpose!" And he frowned in annoyance. "I cannot think how my watch came to be so far behind time. Do you suppose you could have inad- vertently turned the hands, Grace, when you took it from me?" Grace hung her head, but made no reply. "Grace," be exclaimed, "I believe that you did it, and on purpose! Did you?" Grace nodded, "But why, child? Why should you want to be left way out here in the woods?" o "I'm going to run off with you, Her. bert. So that you might as well make up your mind to it." "Why! What does the girl mean?" gasped the professor in amazement. "Just what I say. If you will agree to marry me right away, I know a man that lives about a mile from here who will drive us to Chaney. If you don't promise, I will not tell where be lives and you will just have to stay here all night." Professor 'Harper stared at her for a moment in astonishment, and then, as her meaning burst upon him, gave vent to a roar of laughter. Grace's lip quivered. "Oh, I surrender ! I surrender t" Dried the professor hastily. "I will do any- thing yon ask, my dear. But what a very desperate character you are!" Shamefaced, but determined, Grace led the chuckling professor to the house of a farmer, with whom arrangements were soon concluded to drive them to Ohaney. "Yon don't really mind, do you, Herbert?" whispered Grace as they reached the house of the minister. "Mind? No. I wish we had done it long ago," whispered baok the profess- or, smiling boyishly. "I haven't been on such a lark for years." The O. E. club held a private jollifi- cation when it was known that Profess- or Harper and Grace Dawn had eloped, and the villagers wondered at the de- pravity of a man of his age. "All the same,.my dear," said the professor to his wife, "I hope that yon won't always use such desperate meth- ods to obtain your own way." "But there wasn't anything else to do," answered Mrs. Harper. And, laughing, he kissed her.—L, Foster Madison in Cleveland Press. responsible. Trunks and trousseaus absolutely forbidden.

"Will yo kindly look up the time of my mem bersnipi" .Amid dead silence the secretary 1'e - ported : "There are two months remaining Madam President." "I thought so."

"Perhaps you won't mind telling your `modus operandi?' " sneered Sadie .Andrews incredulously. "Allow me in turn tocall your atten- tion to that clause a of our constitution which says that absolute secrecy as to time and particulars shall be maintained even between members," said Gracie sweetly, although her eyes flashed at the covert insinuation. "If there is no more business before the club," she added, "I declare the meeting ad- journed." Grace walked away. "The hateful thing!" she exclaimed, the tears filling her eyes in spite of herself. "I'll show ber! He does love me! He does! He will do anything I wish. Only be does not approve of eloping. Oh, I wish that he did!

Grace was almost in despair. Sadie An- drews openly laughed her to sc91'n as the time passed and Gracie was still Gracie Dawn. Many of the girls looked dubious and smiled faintly when Ste die would triumphantly ejaculate "I told you so!" in their presence. Grape preserved a calm bearing outwardly, but inwardly raged at her helplessness. One day a merry party of excursion- ists boarded a boat and went for an out- ing 80 miles down the river. Among them were Grace and Professor Harper. ',rhe O. E. club was out in full foroe, lino: a mighty resolve formed itself in thti maiden's mind that this should be the eventful occasion. A nave in tbo vicinity visited and lunch partaken of, the parity broke up into groups of twos or thrOs and scat- tered over the hills into the woods. The captain of the vessel cauticined them against straying too far away, as the boat would put out promptly at 5 o'clock. As was natural, Grace and the professor sauntered off together. "Now, where shall we go? ' inquired the professor. "Have you shy special place that you would like to go?" ''i thought." said the artful miss, "that we might find some specimens of the Adiantum pedatum." "True, my dear. Let me see what the time is. We don't want to go SO far that we will not be able to get back to the boat in time." He drew out his watch, but before he could glance at it Grace had snatch- ed it from him. "Now guess, Herbert," she .cried werrity, nutting her hands behind her. Acquitted. Voltaire, when on his estate of Fer- ney, was fond of assuming the air of nobility and displayed a most philosoph- ical hatred of poachers. One luckless fellow was caught and brought before him. Voltaire determined to try him according to law, and took his seat as judge, directing his secretary to act as counsel for the prisoner. The advocate made a lung speech in favor of the cul- prit and stopped suddenly. "Why do you hesitate?" asked Vol. taire. "I wish to read a passage from a vol- ume in your library." He procured the book and silently turned its leaves. Voltaire became im- patient and demanded the cause of his silence. "Well, " answered the secretary, "I have been looking for the word 'hu- manity' and I see you have omitted it." Voltaire thought the argument so forcible that he set the poacher free. What Bothered Him. "When I was a young man," says a well known civil engineer, "I was sur- veying the route of a proposed railway. An old farmer with whom I stopped for a time admitted one day, when he saw me figuring in the field, that mathemat- ics always seemed a wonderful thing to him. Being young and enthusiastic, I began to enlarge its wonders, telling him bow we oould measure the dis- tanoes to different planets, and even weigh them; how we could ascertain the height of mountains without scaling them and many other things which I meant should astonish him. • "You can imagine how he set me back when he replied to this brilliant array of facts by saying: 'Yes, yes, them things does seem kinder our'us, but what aline bothered me was to under- stand why you have to carry one fur ev'ry ten, but if you don't the darned thing won't oome out right.'

Neck Garniture and Muff Are ranged Eu Suite. For winter wear smart and useful ac- cessories of the muff and tie order are quite costly when accompanied with a hat or toque en snite. But the ,woman with a small dress allowance need not despair if she possesses the ordinary capital of feminine cleverness. for these things can be made at home. Naturally in the winter one must wear warm wraps. and, however pleas- ing the ordinary fur muff and tie may be out of doors, yet when making a call or attending a reception the fur tie must be removed. leaving only a bare collar or, if it' be a mantle or cape which is worn. the removal leaves only the ordinary house gown, and the attire looks incomplete at such functions where outdoor costume is usual and in- dispensable. The set of muff, collar and 'headgear here arranged en suite is quite suitable for winter wear with any coat, cape or other wrap and not elab- orate in make. Black velvet is always useful, but colors may be employed in the same style, either greer_ or petunia being admirable for it v-ith neutral tints of cloth or with t-. all black toilet, The set shown by the figure is of black velvet and old lace with crystal buckle and linings of heliotrope satin. The toque is made on is shape of buck- ram covered with velvet, drawn in folds in front. At the back the folds are narrower, the . crown covered flat, and two large clusters of violets and foliage are divided by a rosette of the velvet. The front of the toque is then complete ed by wide bows of velvet, which are caught down with a paste buckle, and the upright cluster consist; of wired fans of the "old" lace, with a full oa- prey. The tie consists of a bias strip of vel- vet about seven inches deep, fitted with TOQUE, NECKWEAR AND MUFF. three hooks and eyes at the back, a jabot of lace, and fans of • narrow lace forming a stand up collar at the back. The velvet band 1 uld be cut of the right length to fit the neck aver a dress and turned in to form a little heading to conceal the hooks. When put on, it will draw into folds without any ar- rangement. For the muff you take one length of 18 inch velvet, with one end cut bias and measuring one yard at the pointed side. One yard of heliotrope satin is re- quired for lining, and this is used in one length, exactly as is the velvet. Both velvet and lining are kept in one piece. First fold in each side of the vel• vet about 1% inches. Then measure off 21 inches in length, and over this place two layers of wadding, letting the edges go quite under the folded edge of vel- vet. Then tack on the helirotrope satin, and fell down over the wadding and secure each end of the wadding. The satin continues without the wadding quite up to the pointed end, where it needs to be neatly felled, as it comes out- side in that twisted part on the muff. The wadded portion is then doubled or turned up to form the bag or muff and is plaited across to about nine inches. There is then a portion of the velvet, of about five inches, which makes the rolled frill at the top of the muffs, and the pointed end forms a cas- cade arrangement to '^h a large fan of antique toned lace i:, fastened with a crystal buckle. Pnnrelo, Sihaddgck or Grape Fruit. The pumelo of Florida is now recog- nized as not only a delicious breakfast fruit, but also as a tonic and altera- tive, counteracting malaria, imperfect action of the liver, and es a general bracer and appetizer to the human sys- tem. In China the fruit is made orna- mental in its service, the rind cut in intricate and curious designs, the top lifting as a cover as do citron melons in this country for ceremonious occa- sions.. The pulp is separated, the white tough membrane peeled off and then put back in the skin to be removed to individual plate when the fruit is pass- ed. It is ever present as a favorite deli- cacy of Chinese feasts. In this country the shaddock is served in various ways, either as fruit, sherbet, etc., according to the fancy of the host- ess. As a fruit course for breakfast it is cut in half and eaten with sugar—the less of the latter used the more benefi- cial.—Table Talk. Fashion's Echoes. Many New York women of fashion are not wearing hats or bonnets at theater or opera, but they are dressing their hair so high and wearing so many upstanding, outspreading ornaments that it keeps the people behind them dodging to see the stage. Fiches, cravats and other accessories of the toilet are in great vogue. For evening toilet it is said that Pa- risian modistes are bringing out as the latest thing the spencer waist, pointed back and front and fitting tight to the figure, like a corset. Blouse fronts and yoke backs continue popular in shirt waists. The walking gear of women who are always up to fashion's changes shows a decidedly mannish aspect, broad toes and medium height in heels being the proper thing. A Witty Gallery God. Ata performance of "Faust" in Cork, Ireland, the gentleman who enacted the part of Mephistopheles was so stout that the trapdoor was too small to permit his descent to the infernal regions, and all of his person above the waist was still visible over the stage. One of the gallery gods, noticing his dilemma, ex- claimed, "Begorra, the place is full!" ( The Old litaaa's'Wonderful Cure. 1 ' - Agood std is told among the med- Kcal men of Cleveland, a story which 1 +was star -tad 'by the victim himself. He 1 is a physiciian of considerable repute, -and some time ago was called to attend a gentleman of advanced years who was suffering from a slight complica- tion of disorders. The doctor went to work with a will, and preseutly had the patient on the road to recovery. In fact, two weeks from the time he took the case he had him cured. As he left the house, after announc- ing that further visits would be unneo; essary, the daughter of the restored` man accompanied him to the door. "Doctor," she said in somewhat tremulous tones, "I want to tell you"— The doctor, who supposed she was anxious to express her gratitude for his skilled attention. waved her thanks aside. "Don't mention it, madam," he affably said. "We always try to do our duty." "But, doctor, " she persisted, "it is something that will interest you. I feel that"— "Say no more, madam 1" cried the doctor, much moved by the woman's agitation. "It is something I must tell you, doctor, " she continued. "Please listen. " The doctor halted with his hand on the knob. "Yesterday," said the woman, "I was down town and met Mrs. Pugsley, the Christian Scientist, and she told me she had been giving father admen treatments' far two weeks. Isn't it jus too wonderful?" "Good morning!" said the doctor dryly. --Cleveland Plain Dealer. Only Twp Mei Know the Trick. There is one expert in Philadelphia who, it is safe to say, stands entirely alone in his specialty. He is James Tonghill, who has charge of the piling of coin bags at the subtreasury. Not only does he have charge of the piling of the bags, but he does it all himself, for there 15 a secret connected with this work that is known to only one man in the country besides the Philadelphia ex- pert. It does not seem at first glance to be a very difficult task, but those who have tried it and failed can be counted by hundreds, while the first man to do the work properly without a knowledge of the secret having been imparted to him is yet to be named. Not so many years ago there was only one person in the country who could do the work. Where he obtained his exclusive knowledge no one knows. On a trip to Philadelphia he met Toughill and the two became fast friends. As a mark of his esteem the original expert taught Tonghill the art of piling np money securely, and that is as far as the knowledge has been ex- tended The work consists of piling up bags containing 1,000 silver dollars each as high as the vault will permit. When built by the experts this silver wall is as solid and substantial as if built of bricks and mortar, and it is well this is so. If one of these walls should be con- structed on wrong principles it would surely fall, and a fall usually means se- rious injury to some one.

The gennine native dancing girls per- t,"' -r in the little cafes that abound in the Arabian quarter. These places are usually small and about 80 men squat- ted around the seats that line the walls make a full house. Here the Arabs come to smoke and drink coffee and hear the music, while in the center of the cafe the dancing girls perform. The places are filled with the smoke of the nargile and ciga- rettes, and the dreamy natives who lounge along the walls puff everlasting- ly on, barely noticing the girls who are weaving and swaying in the sinuous undulations of the dance to the time of a groggy tomtom and the mellow drone of a reed whistle. The dance is about the same as the one seen at the World's fair in Chicago, divested of most of its offensive trimmings. There it was de- signed to startle and shock and come np to western notions of oriental depravity; while here on its native heath it is sim- ply a dance that is as old as the coun- try itself, and to those who have been accustomed to it through generations of familiarity it is probably as tame as the quadrille.

Bilkins and s wife occupied seats in the dress circle. The curtain had just gone np for the second act, the first scene showing the heroine in street cos- tume. As Bilkins rested his gage upon the woman his face wore a puzzled ex- pression. Several times he took hurried glances at the programme he had in his hand. He becamedeeply interested that he attraoted the attention of his wife. "What do you see that interests you so?" inquired his wife. "She isn't pretty." "May, isn't that the same hat that woman wore in the last act?" exclaim- ed Bilkins, seemingly ignoring his wife's question. Mrs. Bilking glanced in the direction of the stage. "I think she is," she replied, "but what of it?" "Oh, nothing, only it seems so odd!" "What does?" "Why, that she should still be wear- ing the same hat," explained Bilkins. "The programme says there is a lapse of two years between the first and sec- ond acts. "—Ohio State Journal. Our Florida Alligator. An alligator is not an attractive creature. He has not a single virtue that can be named. He is cowardly, treacherous, hideous. He is neither graceful nor even respectable in appear - a nce. He is not even amusing or grotesque in his ungainliness, for as a brute —a brute unqualified—he is al- ways so intensely real that one shrinks from him with loathing and a laugh at his expense while in his presence would seem curiously out of place. His personality, too, is strong. Once catch the steadfast gaze of a free, adult alligator's wicked eyes, with their odd vertical pupils fixed fall upon your own, and the significance of the expression "evil eye, " and the mysteries of snake charming, hypnotism aid hoodooism will be readily understood, for his bru- tish, merciless, unflinching stare is sim- ply blood chilling.—L W.

't"dn't Lose His Head. Print Loafs Esterhazy, military at- tache of the Austrian embassy at Lon- don, was tr'lveling alone in an English railway, when an elegantly dressed wo- man entered the carriage. Presently she dropped her handkerchief and employed other expedients to start a conversation, but without avail, for the prince tran- quilly smoked his cigar and took no no- tice of her. At last as the train ap- proached a station the woman suddenly tore her hat from her head, disheveled her hair and as the trail; came to a standstill put her head out of the win- dow and shrieked for assistance. The railroad officials hurried to the scene, and to them the woman asserted that she had been terribly insulted by the prince. The prince did not stir from his seat, but continued tranquilly smok- inz his cigar, and the station master exclaimed, "What have Torn got to say to this charge "s'-' Without the slightest appearance of concern the prince, who was seated in the farther corner of the carriage, re- plied, "Only this, " end with that he pointed to his cigar, which showed a beautiful gray ash considerably over an inch in length. The station piaster was wise in his generation, and on perceiving the ash on the prince's oigar-he touched his hat and said quietly, "That's all right, sir," and arrested the woman • instead. —San Francisco Argonaut. Sunday Trading. A German shopkeeper went one Sun- day pnerning to a customer in order to demand the payment of a long neglect- ed account. The police heard of this and regarded it as a violation of the new law against trading during the hours of worship. The offender as cited and fined. He appealed to the kammergericht, and was discharged as innocent. What the law expressly for- bids, said the kamuiergericht, is any "public or open labor or trading within the prescribed time." On the police interpretation two men who talked incieentally about their business relations on Sunday morning on their way to church might be arrest- ed as violators of the law, which would be palpably tyrannical and absurd. This recalls the good old tale of two Sabba- tarian farmers who hit upon a casuisti- cal method of doing trade on the Lord's day without breaking the fourth com- mandment. "What would you give for that calf, ' asked one, "if it were not the Sabbath ?" "If it were not the Sabbath I would give yon so much," naming the suis. "Tomorrow, then, we will consider it a bargain. "—Lon- don News. In Extremis. Late one night a clergyman was called out to minister to an old man—a work,.r upon the adjacent railway—who was St . 'hosed to be dying. The sum- mons was brought by another old man, the elver brother of the stricken one. While he was bustling about, making preparations for departure, the clergy- man forgot monlentarily the social status of his visitor and asked, "Is he in extremis 1" The old man was not going to be beaten. "Aye, he's right in, your rev- erent ' After a panse he added as a clinche : "Clean in, poor chap. Right upto t neck sir. " —Cornhill Maga- zine. The Birdlike Love. 'Now, there's the people that buy panaries," said the bird dealer. "Queer people they are. The canary has no pore love in it than a oat—not so much as a Det hail for a canary. It loves noth- ing but feed, end it can't make believe es much affection as a cat can when it wants something. But hundreds buy canaries and Jove them—queer people; lonely people mostly. Some have friends, but that makes no difference about their being lonely. Nobody loves them, jut the same. "But the worst in nobody wants their love either. They are humblelike, though. They don't expect love. All they want is something to love --not much of anything, just anything. So the canary does. "Yes, I sell lots of 'em oanaries, and I can tell every time a customer comes in the door if be wants a canary or ca- nary feed. "—New York Commercial. He Was Doing It. A gentleman going into his stable one day found hie little son astride of one of the horses, with a slate and pencil in his hand. " Why, Harry," he exclaim- ed, "what are you doing?" ' "Writing s composition," was the reply. - "Well, why dent yoq write it in the library?" asked the father. "Because." answered the little fel- low, "the teacher told me to write a composition on a 'horse." ..- Chicago - News Madam's Geeat Bargain.

A well dressed woman was examining a bit of jewelry. "What is the price of this?" she asked. "That will coat you $4, madam." re- plied the salesman. "Can't you shade that figure a bit?" "No; can't po8sibly take a cent less. But I'll tell yon what I'll do—if you will wait a few moments the auction sale will be started, and I'll place the article ander the hammer.

This last bid was made by the woman who`had sought to buy the bit of jewelry before the sale. A gentleman came in, looked at the ar- ticle and calmly said: "I like that. I'll give you $4." The woman quickly shouted "Five dollars!" Then the bid- ding ceased and the bit of jewelry was turned over to the last and best bidder.

Joseph Jefferson was playing a one night engagement in a small town, ap- pearing in the part Rip Van Winkle, which he has so often and ably imper- sonated. At the hotel where he staid there was an Irishman who acted as general assistant. Judged by the great interest he manifested in the hotel, he might have been taken to be the pro- prietor. At about a quarter to 6 in the morning Mr. Jefferson was startled, not to say alarmed, by a violent thumping on his door. When he recollected that he had left no orders to be called so early, he was naturally indignant. His sleep was banished for that morning. however, so he arose and soon made his appearance before the -clerk. "Look here, I say," he demanded of this functionary, "why was I called at this unearthly hour?" "I don't know, sir," replied the cliff, "but I'll ask Pat." Pat was sum- moned. Said the clerk: "Pat, there was no call for this gentleman. Why did yon waken him?"

Snowball Showers. More than one -explorer in cold cli- mates has noted the curious phenome- non of a "snowball shower- " The balls, it is tree, are not very big, the average being about the size of a hen's egg, but they are tree snowballs for all that, compressed globes of snow, not little lumps of ice or hail. A fall of the kind occurred in north London in March, 1859, and at the time it was observed that the balls seemed five times as dense and compressed as ordi- nary snow and in no way to be told from the nasal handmade missiles. They had fallen daring the night and were strewn many layers thick over a very large area. No cause—except a doubtful electric- al one—can be ascribed for the strange phenomenon, and mountaineers are apt to discredit the stories of snowball showers told them by the old guides till suddenly in the midst of an ordinary storm they tired themselves assailed as though by myriads of mischievous schoolboys.—London Standard. Egyptian Burials. It has hitherto been supposed that in Egypt the practice of embalming the bodies of the dead and forming them into mummies was the most ancient method of sepulture, but Professor Flinders Petrie, the well known Egyp- tologist, has by recent excavations thrown quite a new light upon this question of the ancient method of dis- posing of the dead. At Deshasheh, a place about 50 miles south of Cairo, he has discovered a series of tombs, in the coffins of which he has found complete skeletons from which the flesh has beets carefully dissected, evidentl-egiot;s to burial The coffins are of atlt.i;able workmanship,' are made of sycamore and are in perfect preservation not- withstanding their 5,000 years' burial in the sand. It remains to be proved by further excavations whether the mutila- tion of the bodies was performed as a ceremonial rite or whether this removal of flesh from the banes paints to canni- balism on the part of the ancient peo- ple.—Chambers' Journal. reattach .

SECOND EDITION. The State Text Books. A substitute bill for the printing of text books by the state has been pre- pared by Mr. Staples, but it is to be hoped that it will not pass. The ex- periment most assuredly would prove a very costly one. At a low estimate it would require a fund of at least a million dollars to supply our schools with as good a line of books as are now being used, with the revisions necessary to be made every two or three years. Au inferior grade is dear a.t_any price, a fact fully demon- strated by the late Merrill contract, now happily a thing of the past. Thousands and thoasands of dollars Niere thrown away by towns and school districts for his reprints of obsolete editious not worth the freight charges. Neither would it pay to is - sae .a full series of books for one state alone. California has tried it, and after investing considerably over a Million of dollars they have practical- ly nothing to show for it save readers and grammars. The other books are considered of very little value by their leading educators, and a disgrace to the cause of education. The pub- lishing basiness is one requiring vast ability, experience, and capital, and should not mixed up with state poli- tics. Supt. Lewis has proposed a list of summer schools, in which Dakota, Ramsey, Goodhue, Hennepin, and Washington are grouped at the state university. If the teachers of these counties should all be, ii attendance the enrollment would be ten times larger than any similar school in the state. As a‘contrast the little county of Anoka is to have one by itself. A more e itable division would be to ,:.e Dakota, Goodhue, and Wash- iegtou one, and attach Anoka to Hen- noltin: Very few of our country teachers can afford to pay board and their expenses for four weeks in a large city, consequently Dakota Coun- ty has had very little benefit from the arrangement of the past two or three years. The Filipino insurrection at Manila last Sdnday was evidently instigated by Aguinaldo to defeat the ratification of the Spanish treaty. That it proved a miserable failure was through no fault of his allies in the senate, and the only regret is that it cost the lives of tifty of our brave soldiers. The policy of the administration, however, retnains unchanged, and the natives will be taught a lesson that their children's children will remensby to their dying day. The insane asylum board reports three thousand, four hundred, and forty-one inmates of the three hospitals, over a thousand more than their normal capacity. The number is also steadi- ly increasing, notwithstanding the weeding out legislation of two years ago. J. D. Pratt, a farmer of Anoka Coun- ty reports that one of his cows gave birth to five calves on the 3d inst., their combined weight being one hun- dred and thirty pounds. And they still want an insane asylum in. that vicinity.

Political gossip has been specu- lating as to who Gov.

His long term of service in the Minnesota legis- lature has been spent in a close study of the affairs of state down to their minutest detail. He is a hard work- er, and is an authority on any matter before the house. He Would be a strong man for the people of the third districeto entrust with their affairs in congress, because he would be sure to employ the -game painstaking methods there as he does in the house of rep- resentatives.

It is much better to have the insan cared for by the state than neglecte by the counties, even at less expense. —Alexandria Post'News, Since we have lived to; see two such bitter enemies as 41104 and Hastings clasp hands in the hospital deal, we feel that life bas pot been lived in vain.— Elk River Star News. Hastings and Anoka are just like two sisters on the insane asylum ques- tion. They are working a double - headed racket now so as to give both places an asylum. It is generally ad- mitted that both are excellent loca- tions and that there are quite a num- ber in both places who are ready_ to occupy quarters as soon as the Atilld- jugs are completed, besides the news- paper representatives.—Stillwater Ga- zette. The insane hospital fight of two years ago has been compromised, and Anoka and Hastings are now working hand in hand in an effort to secure two small hospitals, one at each place. There are some who ad- vocate the county plan, and some who advocate the colony plan, but it is ex- pected that the combined effort of the Anoka and Hastings partiear.s will re- sult in the defeat of both plans and the erection of two small hospitals at the two places named. This is a very satisfactory outcome of a very un- profitable and acrimonious contest.— Elk River Star News. After a short conference of the par- ties interested in the hospital fight from both Anoka and Hastings, it was decided that if the state would secure the site chosen at Hastings and build thereon some small cottages and do the same at Anoka, thus try- ing the Wisconsin plan, both places would be satisfied. Well, if this is as cheap for the state and the cottage plan is to be adopted there is no good reason why both places cannot thus be accominodated, as that would place two cottage plants handy to the asy- lums that are to be relieved from their overcrowded condition. There is no getting around the fact that the Anoka site is a good one for the cot- tage system, aud those who are in the position to know saythat the Hastings location is as good it every way. It is hoped the Not j1e.sed t this- session of The and that the hatchet will be buried forever.—Lake City Graphie-Soctittel. The St. Paul Dispatch has taken a logical position and a firm stand in opposition to the county hospital plan at one time proposed as a solution of the problem of caring for the insane. The Dispatch seems to have given the subject very thorough study and care- ful consideration and has concluded that the best thing for the state to do is to establish two institutions on the cottage plan, one at Hastings and one at Anoka, the idea being that the in- stitutions so established may be added to, at any time and to any extent, without a constant alteration of plan for each change. The argument is certainly unanswerable that a few central institutions can be conducted under better conditions of hygiene and pathology, and at an infinitely less administrative expense, than would attend a great number of small scattering institutions located at every point of the compass, and in all sorts of inaccessible localities.—Princeton Union. Much has been said and written about the county plan of caring for the insane, but the more the matter is looked into the less it meets with the approval of those who investigate it. It is now rumored that Anoka and Hastings have taken up arms to- gether to fight this proposition, and are trying to tave the legislature lo- cate a small hospital at each of the towns. Hastings is certainly entitled to the fourth asylum, as they made a clean, straightforward fight two years ago and won It fair. They also- have the best site in the state and other advantage that are necessary for hos- pital purposes. Anoka thinks they are also entitled to one, and have a number of friends in the legislature of the same mind. What easier so- lution of this problem can be arrived at than to give them each a small hospital?—ekatfield News. The hospital fight between Hastings and Anoka grows more bitter as the time for a division approaches. Both contestants maintain active lobbies, which are engaged in plying legisla- tors with arguments all the day long and far into the night. A compro- mise has been suggested, that each aspirant take a share of 'the institu- tion, and that the county system of caring for the insane, a success only in Wisconsin among many states where it ,has been tried, be adopted in the place of the plan obsterved since statehood began. There can be little reason advanced from the medical standpoint for a repeal of present laws, Naturally bad blood hasbeen aroused; but the question is not loyal. The whole state is interetated in the Proper settlement. One or the other legislature reported that the Anoka site lael-ecl proper or any kind of drainage, while thht at Hastings was excellent, aside from the water power which would generate all the light the institution could use. As a matter of fact, there can be little hesitation be- tween the two places. Lind's known inclination to the adoption of 'the county plan is apt to create opposi- tion in a republican legislature, which is perfectly willing to assume the re- sponsibility of all legislation enacted efi the present session.—Renville Times. Mr. Staples introduced a number of bills, one of which represents the Hastings -Anoka compromise on the fourth hospital fight. It provides for the first district hospital at Anoka on the site already purchased ,by the state, and the second district hospital on the site at Hastings which was in the controversy of two years ago. An appropriation of $26,000 is made for the purchase of this property. The board of trustees of the insane hospit- als are to cause to be erected build- ings on both these sites for hospitals on the so-called cottage plan recom- mended by the commission, which was appointed to locate the fourth hospital. It is left entirely with the board to fix the boundaries of the dis- tricts from which commitments are to be made to these hospitals. The proposed plan is a compromise be- tween the institutional system now in vogue and the country system of car- ing for the insane, and is understood to meet with the approval of Gov. Lind. The state board of corrections and charities is committed to the county system. The hospital trus- tees are in favor of the colony system. 'The district system proposed in Mr. Staples' bill would seem te offer a middle ground upon which all inter- ests can be harmonized. It does not look to the erection of any more large institutions, where large numbers of insane persons are to be gathered to- gether under one roof. Neither is it open to the objection of those who op- pose the county system for the rea- son that it creates a large number of small institutions where the requisite degree of medical and other attend- ance can not be supplied except at large expense. While not exactly the colony system, it is so nearly like it that there should be no considerable %position -Wrfrftoittlw erf,.1 ataly - The district system admits of easy expan- sien, ad O'e passage of the bill would furnish the state with five insti- tutions for tue care of the insaty con- venientiy ,3caLed, which may be ex- panded along the colony or cottage plans as the or,ds of the future may require. —St. Paul Pioneer Press, 8th.

Intoxication is craved, and the stomaoh of the Indian Territory drinker does not quarrel with the form in which it conies. Wood alcohol, accounted poison in most parts of the country, is consifined lfl considerable quantities. The peddlers buz it in Oklahoma, dilute it with wa- ter and sell it by the pint on this side of the line. One way of bringing whisky into Indian Territory is to have a barmr with a false bottom. Freighting aoloas the border is common. There are in- terior stores which draw their stooks of goods from cities and railroad points outside. A barrel with a false bottom is a device by which a storekeeper may ship in a considerable quantity of whisky, while the contents, to all or- dinary examination, seem to be coal oil or some other legitimate article. Ingenuity in evasion of the territorial prohibition probably reached its high- est form of development when one of - the dealers got up a good imitation of an egg. Each egg was tilled with whisky. The eggs were shipped here openly in cases. They were sold for 25 cents each to those who knew the se- cret. The purchaser chipped a hole in the artificial shell and found in each egg what was enough for a moderate drink. The eggshell was of plaster of ppri a ip a fair irnitei ion. —St L0014._ Globe -Democrat. s'› , Dynamite. Dynamite explodes so rapidly that its force is exerted in the direction from which the greatest pressure comes. That is, if the dynamite be placed on the ground the explosive force is down; if it be hung against a wall its force at- tacks the wall; if it be hung under an object its force is upward.

One of the problems that have in ested archseologiets, engineers and obitects for many years has been to oertain the means employed by the ciente in oarrying on building or en neering works where masses of water had to be moved considerable distances Comparatively little is forthcoming explain a number of these oserati so that any new theory or foots gesting a theory are likely to cocas considerable interest One of the na recent hypotheses in this connection presented by a writer in Constructi Modern& anti deeoribes a way in wh tbe Egyptian obelisks were possi erected. As some of these are over feet in beigbt and out from a sin piece of stone, weighing often 118 309* as 1,000 tons, it will be seen that to them in position fe quite a matter, ev for modern engineering skill. In t plan proposed 115 10 aeaumed that an 'alined causeway of .sand or other m terial was conetructed, with its beta equal to that ot tbe obelisk to erected. At the fttl was built *strong wood oribwork, and the apace beyond wb the folvidation was located was fill In with sand. From tbe top of this road way an inclined shoot of strong oo struotion led to the base. (Thing wood rollers, the huge etone would be dra up the incline, and by means of a tackle tilted in such a way as .to fall into the sand, being guided by the shoot so that the lower end would reatift the base or foundation on which it was destined to reat.

For Fevers, Dr. De Domeniois is a strong belie in the old doctrine of fasting in fevers. and his zeal has earned for hiru tloe name of the "hungry doctor" among tbe laity of Naples.

The third factor is a bad state of the gastrointestinal canal, and a resulting condition of autopoisoning which lowers the vitality of the patient and increases the virulence of the pnen- mococcus. The author, therefore, wash- es out the stomach in these cases and then administers intestinal disinfest ants, and this procedure is followed b O fast of several days, or even of week in certain oases. In other word the author believes that the deadl agency in pneumonia comes from th specific toxines as much as from prod nets in the intestinal canal.

"Now tbat you've finished shaving ine, how many strokes of the razor did it require?" asked the man in the chair, as he straightened up to have his hair doom bed.

In my °teal never . knew the number to fall below 500, and it bas gone more than 800 at times. I call it a stroke every time the razor is brought forward and then drawn back.

A correspondent wbo is associated with the observatory at Toulouse calls attention to a very singular phenom- enon, the scientific explanation of which he seeks. Take a bar of iron in the band by one end and plunge the other end in the fire, heating it strong/y, but not so much that the hand cannot retain its hold. Then plunge the heated end in a pail of cold water. Immediately the end held by the hand becomes so hot that it is impossible to retain it in the finger& This phenomenon, said by the owe- spondent to be familiar to workmen in iron, is ascribed by them to aome repel- lant aotion which they suppose the sod- den cold to exert upon the beat contain- ed in the iron, which is thus driven to the oppoaite extremity.

Her world had a wholesome dread of Mre. Trelawney'a tougue. She had just intimated a desire for an ice, and her attendant satellites had dis- persed at once, each eager to be fore- most in the quest. She bad had a busy day, and it was pleasant and cool there behind the pa' She only wished that people wo not whisper somewhere near. If onl, hey were aware bow much far- thet bisper carried than an ordinary tone nd while she meditated an epi- gram this sebjeot she opened her eyes and looked round impatiently for the whisperers. There was a particularly ineligible corner near Mrs. Trelawney'a snug re- treat, a three cornered, low backed seat, in the full glare of the light and unpleasantly close to an intrusive and spiky cactus. Hither had retreated a poor cousin of the hostess, a little girl of 17, under- dressed and pale faced, conspicuous only for a very new and shining wed- ding ring. She bad been alone most of the evening, and now it was she and her boy husband whose whispering had disturbed Mrs. Trelawney. "Darling, are yeti'senjoying your- eelf?" whispered the bohusband. "So much, dear!" answered the little girl enthusiastically. "It's all so pretty and so amusing to watch. I've never seen anything so pretty in my life!" "I've been helping Lady Lucy. She asked me to take some old ladies down to supper," the boy husband went on with a comical importance. "You're sure you are not dull here all alone?" "Dull? Oh, dear no!" tried tee little girl, opening wide eyes;of amazement. "Oh, there's Lady Luoy looking at us, dear. I expect she wants you again." The boy hurried off again, proud and elated, and his little wife sat smiling after Jilin from her corner. Mrs. Tre- lawney looked sharply from one to the other. "I wonder how long that state of things will last?" she meditated cyn- ically. She knew a certain amount about the affairs of the foolish couple—Lady Lucy had confided various details in the course of her apology for their presence there at all. The boy was a journalist, with a microscopic income and very limited talents, and the little wife was penniless, and they had a tiny flat some- where in the east—some uncivilized lo- cality, the bare thought of which sent a shudder through Lady Luoy. "In ten years' time," she said to herself, "what will t,,, become .! them?" And at that point she paused aghast. It was exactly ten years since she herself, a girl of 17, had made a run- away love:matoh with handsome Cap- tain Trelawney. She sat curiously white and still, while that dead and half forgotten past flashed vividly before her. She would never have thought it possible then for ber husband to be at his club while she amused herself successfully elsewhere, and now this was the normal state of things between them. There had been no quarrel, no dis- pute. -They bad simply drifted away from eaoh other in -those ten years of married life, until now they were com- parative strangers. Neither could have told how of when the division began. She looked at the, uncomfortable cor- ner again and with new eyes. That pale little faoe was the happiest in the room —tbe only contented one in sight—and when the boy husband came near, al- ways with a glance and smile in that direction, what a radiant look was floated back at him! They really seem- ed to be enjoying their evening. Mrs. Trelawney reflected, and then, with an indescribable sensation, it oc- curred to her that the, the admired and petted society beauty, was aotually envying that plain, badly dressed, pen- niless little girl. Mrs. Trelawney breathed a long sigh of relief when the brougham door was shut upon ber and she was on ber way home. She bad a long way to drive, plenty of time to follow out her present train of thought and to be as unhappy as she pleased. She told herself that she was a despi- cable little wretch, a mere society but- terfly, and it was no wonder Horace was tired of her. If only Horace bad been poor, so that be and she could have worked and struggled together! If only their one child bad lived beyond baby- hood! But that she could not bear to think of even now. If only all the past ten years could be lived over again, hod' differently she would use them 1 Now it was too late, and\ then {the suddenly sat up straight, !with fast beating beart.

She remembered having done so once or twioe in those bygone days, when something impera- tive bad prevented him from corning with her to their mutual disappoint- ment. She gave the neoeesary order to her coachman, and then sat tense and up- right, her eyes bright, ber oheeks flushed. Ab, they were not far from the club now—five, ten minutes more and her new life would have begun! She had no idea what the time was, but it could not be so very late, for the pavement was thronged with people— all going the same way, oddly enough, as it marred to her atter a moment. There were so many of them that pres- ' ently the carriage was blooked and obliged to go slowly. She heather little !._ bands on the seat in her impatience , and looked out again. { A policeman appeared, shouting in- audible directions, and prowlingforward Stough the orow4 eb_lave -wey ' reluctantly on either side. In her un- governable impatience she let down the window and beckoned him to come nearer. "Can't we get on?" she cried. "I am in a hurry. What is the meaning of this crowd?" "They have come to see the Are. ma'am," the policeman answered civil- ly. "I'm afraid you will have to go round.'' "But we are almost there—the Ran - gun club!" shoe cried. "It's the club that is on fire, ma'am," :be policeman answered. Then, as sbe turned white, he added kindly, "Don't be frightened, ma'abl; they've got the fire well in hand by this time and every one is out." "All safe?" Mre. Trelawney gasped. "Well, a few broken bones and such like," said the policeman cheerfully. "Nothing to speak of, ma'am—only one gentleman killed. A sad business that." "Who?" "The gentleman who slid such great things out in Burma a few years ago— Major Trelawney." "My husband!" It seemed to her that she bad known it all the time. Sbe saw, as if in a dream, the sudden pity and respect in the polioeman's face, and then she cov- ered her own and sank back in the car- riage. The long agony of the drive seemed interminable, and yet when at last the carriage stopped she sat quite still for a moment, unable to nerve herself for the next move. Then the door was opened, and, as if in a dream, : 'es passed up the stepe, walking firmly, her face white and her eyes set and bard. Her appar- ent heartlessness was silently noted at the time and afterward freely com- mented on in tin servants' hall. Had they brought him—it—home? sbe wouder'ed with a long shudder. She was in the ball now and some one was hurrying to meet her—the doctor. She was not surprised to see him there. In her dreamlike state nothing seemed strange any more. "I have bad news for you, Mrs. Tre- lawney. " 5 "I know—I know!" she answered petulantly. In her unreasoning misery sbe was annoyed by bis hushed tone. `Her own voioe was unnaturally shrill and strained, and the doctor raised his band in protest. " What heartless creatures these pret- ty women are!" he was thinking—an unconscious echo of the servants' opin- ion, "I must beg of you to control your- self," he said sternly. "Everything de- pends on quiet. His life is banging on a tbread." "His life? Ob, God! Then he is not dead?" She had brushed past the doctor, deet to his remonstrances. With noiseless, flying feet, she was up the staircase and a moment later kneeling by her hus- band's bedside. The doctor, following rapidly, stood arrested at the door, looking in at the darkened toom, the kneeling white fig- ure, with clasped hands and large, fixed eyes, the swathed wreck of a man lying very still on the bed. One hand lay outside the coverlet. nor nun atnlA not slowly, hungrily. to- ward it, as if her own daring soared her. Sbe bowed her bead over the band- aged hand at last and knelt on motion- less.

Something came before his shrewd, keen eyes which blurred the picture be- fore him. He turned aside for a mo- ment and then was recalled by a swift,' ow cry: "Horace! Oh, Horace!" The doctor sprang forward and then drew back. The injured man's eyes bad opened and were fixed on tbe shim- mering white figure with an expression of mingled awe, unbelief, bliss.

Insanity is now recognized as a dis- ease which is the result of some func- tional or organic disturbance of the brain or of some injury or malformation of that organ. Be it said tee the ever- lasting credit of medical science that it has reeoued the whole subject of the die eases of the brain and nervous system from the region of myth apd superstition and placed it on a scientific plane along with the other, diseases and injuries to which human flesh is heir. The old lunatic asylums and the filthy cells of the county jails with all their horrors where the victims of dethroned reason used to be confined and tortured have been abolished and in their place we now have the modern hospital for the insane. and it stands on the same footing in every respect as a hospital for diseases of the eye and ear or any other medical specialty. It was not the churches, but medical science, inspired by a desire to benefit mankind, which taught the world that the insane are our brothers still and that to them is due the same Christian charity and care as to any others in distress.—Dr. John Girdner in North American Review. A Bit of Ribbon. A London paper tells this story of the final signing of the Spanish-American peace treaty : "Every diplomatic instru- ment bears a seal from which depends a ribbon. and when the seal was about to be affixed to the treaty the commission- ers, both of Spain and America, ex- pressed a desire, in graceful acknowl- edgment of the courtesy shown by France, that the dependent ribbon should .be tricolored. Search was forth- with made high and low in the Quai d'Orsay, with the result that in the for- eign office of the French republic not a bit of ribbon of the French colors could be found. "At this critical juncture a brilliant inspiration flashed` across one oof the heads of the department. 'Go,' he said _to a messenger, 'to M.

In order to provide a device by means of whioh a sled can be readily =mite on wheels, when running over cleared portions of roads, John D. Wilson of Heron Lake, Minn., has devised a novel attachment by means of which the de- sired end is attained. The attachment consists of a U shaped axle mounted in a bearing on each end of a runner and bent down over the sides of the runner, the ends of the axle being formed with outwardly extend- ing spindles en which ribbed wheels are journaled. In order to hold each axle in proper position, the inventor employs cleats bolted to the sides of the runners. The top edges of these cleats are arranged in alignment with the bottom portion of the axle bearings. When swung into the inoperative position, the side por- SLED WITH WHEELS FOE BABE SPOTS. tions of eaoh axle will rest upon the top edge of a pleat. At their forward end the cleats are provided with ledges, by means of which theeside portions of the axles, when in operative position, may be held vertically. When the sled is running over snow or ice and a cleared portion of the road is reached, the driver throws the axles forward so as to bring the wheels on the ground. The sled upon being pulled onward will rise upon the wheels an swing the axles against the forward ledges of the cleats. The sled is now mounted upon wheels and can be readily moved over the cleared portion of the road. When snow or ice is again reached, the sled is backed, thus causing the wheels to move forward, and enabling the driver to swing into the inoperative posltione—Scientifio American. Fabrics From Pine Needles. Most men would as soon think of gathering figs off thistles as wool off pine trees, yet that is justewhat the promoters of a new Oregon industry propose to do. Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Cords are establishing a plant at Grant's Pass for tee manufacture of pine nee- dles into a fabric very like- woolen cloth. There is nothing new in this in- dustry. It has been carried on in Eu- rope for years, but never before has it occurred to any one that iu the foresta of Oregon is better material and more of it for the maaafactdre of pine wool than any place else in the world. Mr. and Mrs. Cords are enthusiasts, but are practical minded withal, and do not purpose to start in on too large a scale. They intend first to make material of the consistency of excelsior for mat- tresses. After that they will manufac- ture the wool whioh is used for under- clothing, bandages and other purposes where a soft and pliable fabric is re- quired. Only the inner fabrio of tb needles can be used for the latter, an s' the process is expensive, but not more so than that of the manufacture of Jambe' wool. —San San Fran ' cisco Examiner. Comp d Peat Fuel. Compressed peat fuel is being made by a Canadian oompeny. The peat is fried in the air and then disintegrated in a breaker revolving at a high speed and is thus reduced to a powder with- out unduly breaking np the fiber. The peat powderrawn from the breaker by an exhaust fah into a large hopper, and from this it descends into a ma- chine whioh compresses it into cylin- ders 2 inches in diameter and 2 inches long, under a pressure of 80 tons. It is thus reduced to one-sixth of the bulk of the raw material. The machine has a capacity of 1% tonsof compressed peat per hour. This fuel is claimed to be nonfriable and weather proof, owing to its solidity and the external glaze imparted by friction in the forming dies. The inherent moisture of the peat is re- duced to 12 per oent, and the weight of the fuel is 88 pounds per cobio foot as compared with 73 pounds of bituminous coal and 98 pounds for anthracite coal. The fuel is said to have been success- fully tested in competition with coal. Faceless Clock. A handless and faceless clock is the most recent invention. This weird time- piece literally "tells" the hour, for on being pressed it actually proclaims the time in sonorous tones. It can aleo be set like an alarm for those who wish to be roused at a certain hour, or it oan be made to shout throughout the night, like the old watchman, as eaoh hour flies. On the whole, says a writer in an English magazine, I fanoy it will not supersede our faithful old friends with their comfortable tick tick and familiar faces. It is bad enough sometimes to watch the hands of one's clock scurrying round when there is much to do and little time in which to do it, and the musical chime that warnsof ns the fleeting hour does not always fall with welcome sound on the ear, but to be shouted and nagged at by one's clock would be un- nrable, especially if one were court- ing a little well earned extra sleep in the morning. ' Danger iIn Sterilised Milk. The question whether the sterilisa- tion of milk injures it in any way or not has been frequently discussed. Some of our moat eminent authorities claim that milk is even made more wholesome by sterilization, to say nothing about removing all danger from pathogenic germs. However, a few writers have insisted that the milk is made less di- gestible by this process. Therefore they have strongly advocated .the use of a lower temperature.—Popular Science. Punishment.

Some of the minor limbs of the fraternity depend on the cunning of the carders for advertise- ment." So said a photographer. "One fellow, who visits country fairs and casual Shows. goes through .tricks of a kind wonderful to the unscientific mind. They are merely tricks after all, and his strength is a catch. He depends on his photos for advertisement. In pos- ing he folds his arms tightly, dilates the muscles of his neck and lines his veins with prnssian bine. His picture gives you Hercules in his power of maj- esty. In private he is a welY developed man. without any swagger of sinew or strength. "Professional strong men are as clev- er at make np as a society actress. The latter lavishes attention on face and neck, while breast and ribs, muscles and throat occupy the former for hours ere the camera confron>it them. A few lines about the body add ponnds to the weight of a strong man (in the pic- ture) ; a studied pose imparts addi- tional formidability. "The veins of a certain professional Hercules protrude like whipcord in the photographic cabinet. He dusts them with powdered ultramarine and treats the high parts of the muscles with In- dian red. Otherwise his picture would appear quite ordinary." — Cincinnati Enquirer. A Niee Little Hint For George.

The other evening he was mak- -ing a call and about 9 o'clock her fa- ther came in. "Ah, George," he said. "how about that deal we were talking about this afternoon? Did you see the party ?" "Yes, sir." replied George, "and I expected to see you this evening and tell yon about it, " "My dear," said the father, turning to his daughter, "will you retire for a few minutes? George wants to speak business for awhile." The daughter rose up, but hesitated. "Why do I have to go?" she asked doubtfully. "Because, dear," smiled the father, "you are not interested. Why do you want to stay?" She blushed and started out. "Because, papa, " she twittered, "I'd rather like to hear George talk business ink 'ones.

The bishop of—never mind where— being a newcomer and somewhat trou- bled with a neglected diocese, thought to inspire his clergy to take occasional services during the week by periodically visiting out of the way parishes and taking one himself. On one of these occasions, having formed quite a good congregation and having been moved to much eloquence in his sermon, he felt a little not un- natural desire to know if he had made any impression on the usually unim- pressionablenokels, and put some lead- ing questions to the old clerk, who was helping him to nnrobe in the vestry. "Well, I hope they've been pleased with per." said the old man patronizingly, "and I'm sure we tuk it were kind o' yer worship to come down ant preach to ns, but. yer knew, a worsser one would ha' done for the likes o' we, if so be," he added with becoming humil- ity.

There are a good many of them on the coasts of Essex, Suffolk, Kent and Sus- sex. These massive round towers, some 40 feet high, were regarded as and very likely were splendid defenses at the time they were erected, but they have long been used only for coastgua,Id pur- poses Their name is derived from the Italian coast towers which were erected as a protection against pirates. Warn- ing that a suspicious craft was in sight was given by striking a bell with a martello or hammer. It was the "power- ful defense made in 1794 by Le Tellier at the tower of Mortella with only 88 men against a simultaneous sea and land attack, led by Lord Hood and Ma- jor General Dundee, which brought them into favor in this country. It war thought that they would be a splendid defense against "Boney." — London Chronicle. Ancient Glassmaking.

A Shoemaker's Accounts. There was a shoemaker I met not long ago. says a writer in Chambers' Journal, who had a most elaborate method of keeping his "books. " Against the wall of his workshop he had a large board erected. which he painted black. Into this board he used to drive hob- nails, tacks, brass and steel rivets and other nails used in his trade to repre- sent work done. For instance, the soi- ling of a pair of boots wend be repre- sented by a small piece of leather tack- ed on to the board by means of a brass ONE rivet. but if tie boots were hobnailed, for on then a hobnail was used inst ad of the sure you. brass rivet. A steel rivet bested a patch on the sole, and a patch on the upper was shown by tbe addition of a piece of , thin leather. New boots were shown drawn in chalk, as were also the hieroglyphics representing the custom- ers' names. Some peculiarity of manner, dress or surro ndings was chosen to indicate whoseNaccount it was.

Lemen of Alton, Ills., says "I often meet people who have such a wholesome fear of appendicitis that they do not eat grapes, tomatoes, figs or fruits containing little seeds because of a fear that these seeds will lodge in the appendix and cause appendicitis. "Whenever I hear a person say he denies himself fruits because of this fear I take occasion to assure him that it is useless to take any such precau- tions. If yon like fruit, eat it, for ap- pendicitis, seven in ten instances, is due to other things than seeds. Little particles of food of any kind can lodge in the appendix and produce appendi- citis, eveic a bread crumb being capable of it. In addition, a great many cases are caused by something entirely out- side the appendix, something causing the inflammation. ` "To all I would say, 'Go ahead and eat anything you like, for all precau- tions yon may take are not going to save• you from appendicitis if you are going to have it.' The inexplicable things to which the majority of cases are attributable cannot be guarded against, an useless to fight the minority." Sam Hodgkins' Will. "Sam Hodgkins, " says the Lewiston Journal, "was in his day and genera- tion a much respected citizen of Ilan - cock, and, like his eon Dudley, better known as Uncle Dudley. was well known all over the eastern portion of the county. An amusing story is told by some of his old acquaintances to an eastern Maine paper of how he ono. made his will. It happened to he done at a time when the old man was in one of his happiest and most generous moods, and, realizing no doubt the un- certainty of human life, concluded that he would bequeath to his seven sons— Dudley. Zechariah, Moses, Sam, Shem, Gee and Elliot—his worldly goods and possessions. "He was very anxious that the will should be legal, and was careful lest any of his children might be left un- mentioned in some way. So the old • man drew up the instrtbent, in part like this: 'Half to Dud, half to Zack and all tho rest to Moses. Shem is blind, Sam is poor, Gee has moved to the Falls (Sullivan Falls) and Elliot is the baby.' As the will was never pro- bated it answered the purpose just as well as any." Bismarck and the French. Bismarck had no great opinion of the French. He believed that they are too easily swayed by popular catchwords. "Talk to a Frenchman about liberty, equality and fraternity, tell him that his nation is the greatest in the world, and you can do anything with him. You can impress the French more than any other people if you tell them it is done in the naine of freedom." Asked his opinion in the case of a certain French spy, he said: "It's a sad case. You've got to hang him, but do it with the utmost politeness, so as not to hurt his feeings. "--Exchange. Equal to a Fairy Story.

F. W. OLIVER, 105 e. Second Street, Hastings,Minn. Burlington Route BEST LINE to SOUTHERN WINTER RESORTS. • Egnal to Oeeaalona. 1 Lord Whitworth, who held various poets of honor in English diplomatic circles, was a kindly, gracious gentle- man as well as a wit and a man of the world. He bad indeed almost measured swords with Napoleon at the Tuileries when that despot railed at England for not having evacuated Egypt and Malta, accused her of having violated treaties and ended by flourishing a Dane danger- ously near the face of the English am- bassador. Lord Whitworth put his hand on the hilt of his sword. "What would you have done if'fthe smperor had struck you?" he was after- ward asked. "I would have felled him to the ground," was the quiet answer. Perhaps the best story told of him is one showing bow his quiok wit disposed of a rival. When he was at the Russian court, Fox sent there as a sort of em- bassador of his own a man named Adair, the son of a surgeon. One day the empress, speaking in French, said to Lord Whitworth: "Is he a very important man, this M. Adair?" "Not so very, madame," replied Lord Whitworth, "although his father was a grand seigneur," a remark which read- ers of French will reoognize as a very good pun, for the word as used by Lord Whitworth means "blood letter," while by its sound it also meant a great lord. —Youth's Companion. The Poetical Old Lady. An old lady in a small country town has kept for the last 20 years and still keeps her accounts in doggerel verse. For example (and the specimens given are actual extracts from her books). if Mrs. Jones bas half a pound of tea on "tiok" it is entered thus: Mrs. Jones doth owe to me For half a pound of Souchong tea Is. 4d. Or if Mr. Smith buys a pound of sug- ar, two pounds of rice and a Dutch cheese the entry will be under Smith's name: A pound of moist sugar And two of best rice, With four pounds of Dutch cheese, Which I hope will be nice—ls. 1130. And so on all through the book. In some oases the verses express doubt as to the customer's intention or ability to pay for the goods ordered. Thus: Lizzie Barber for her father Had some Sour today; Sonic apples, too, and toilet soap, But L don't believe heli pay 2s. ed.

All animals, even the wildest, oan be subjected in some way to the dominion of man and be domesticated to some ex- tent. Here, for instance, are two very curious facts about oats. Many persons, including some of our greatest natural- ists, believe that our English domestic oat is descended from the Egyptian do- mestic oat. Yet all records go to prove that the oats of Egypt lived in droves, were oared for in droves, were fed in droves and worshiped in droves, with the result that Egyptian oats never got domesticated or became half as intelli- gent as ours. The like truth is suggested from In- dia, where monkeys are worshiped. These are allowed to become nuisances. They are fed and they have any amount of liberty. and what is the consequence? They never lose their innate savagery. The method of oaring for them has been wrong. A11 the devotion and oare ex- pended on them are praotically wasted, and if we treated our cats in the same fashion as the Indians do these monkeys they would become just as wild and un- domestioated.--Cassell's Magazine. A Prince as a Railway Guard. Prinoe Ohilkow, the Russian minister for seilways, commenced his oareer by laking a tour of the world in order to take note of all the latest inventions and to study the working of railroads abroad in a practical manner. He first of all worked as an ordinary mechanic in the locomotive works at Liverpool, after which he became a railway guard and afterward station master at an Eng- lish town. Returning to Russia, he again worked as a mechanio and after- ward as a station master. After passing several years on the Transoaspian rail- way he was made director of the Var- Hovie railway, then inspector general of railways and finally minister.—Parie Signal. His Fall. John Lancaster, the comedian, tells a story that comes all the way from Que. ,leo. He was sightseeing with a Tom- my Atkins one day while in that prov- ince, and they had as oompanion and guide an old soldier. When they reached the Wolfe monument, wbioh is looated on a historic spot, Tommy said, "Wot's this?" The guide replied, " 'Ere's w'ere a great 'ero fell." "Did hit 'urt 'im?" asked Tommy. " 'IIrt 'im 1" replied the guide. " W'y, 'ell! Hit killed 'lin 1"—New York Telegram. Stopped the Duel. This happened in Brazil: Felix Bo- oayuva and one Zuocharini of Sao Paulo are both journalists, the latter an Ital- ian. Zuocharini challenged Bocayuva to a duel. "Certainly," replied the Brazilian in effect, "if you are good enough to fight with a gentleman. Get a certificate of character from your con- sul and I'il meet you." So Zuocharini applied to the Italian consul in Rio for a oertifcate of character. Learning the purpose, the consul refused, and one duel was off. A Modest Artist. Wheal Princess Beatrice goes to Flor- ence, she always visits Giovanni Meaooi. He is the simplest of men. On the back of every picture he marks in pencil the prioe which he thinks it is worth, which is usually ridiculously low. On one oc- casion when she bought a small sketch she gave him three times the prioe asked, and laughingly told the astonish- ed artist not to be such a baby to mark bis pictures at a price that did not cover the oast of the material. Clear the window of the soul of cob- webs, spider weaved by prejudice and unbelief and sin, that Nthrough faith's crystalline atmosphere you may look through the gate into the heavenly city. •••1. R.

Now that both Hastings and Anoka are to get insane hospitals, on the cottage plan, there ought not be so much oral demonstration between the belligerents of the aforesaid rural centres.- Granite Falls Tribune. The St. Paul Review is one of the few papers that go Old Pease of Anoka one better every time he spouts aneni the location of the fourth hos- pital for the insane. If it is absolute- ly necessary to erect another hospital, Hastings is the proper place for it. - Henderson Independent. It has developed that there are nearly -a thousarail more insane pa- tients in the three hdspitals than there are accommodations for. The great and wealthy state of Minnesota should not delay any longer in providing for these unfortunate people, and the building of district hospitals in Anoka and Hastings should be coinmenced at once. - .A noka Union. The legislature seems very favora- bly disposed to the proposition for the erection of two new insane hospitals, one at Anoka and one at Hastings. The press of the state has considered the matter quite extensively, and ap- pears to have made up its mind that that is the proper solution of the hos- pital question. The Union has favor- ed this idea, not only because it hopes to see the Anoka -Hastings difficulty amicably settled, but also because it believes that the insane can be dealt with to better advantage, and at a less relative expense, in this way than through either the county hospital plan or the colonization scheme here- tofore discussed. -Princeton Union. During the recent gubernatorial campaign in this state a good many old soldiers were induced to vote sfor Mr. Lind, as against Mr. Eustis, be- cause tbe latter removed an old sol- dier from office because derelict in duty and useless to the service. Mr. Lind's commissioner does not make any such weak excuse as that; he makes the removal under the "iron rule of politics," and softens it by speaking of Mr. Smith's "well known ability" and signing himself yours in "F, C and L." Verily the "reform forces" are more than making things hum.-Faribault Democrat.

The need of increased 11'554 accommodations for the insane, is 2196..712 evident, and the present legislature must make provision for it. The only questions have been those of lo- cation and system. When it was proposed to establish a fourth hos- pital the war between Anoka and Hastings broke out. It is a familiar story and need net be repeated, as peace has been declared and thes treaty ratified. The Wisconsin coun- ty plan has been advocated, but the objections to that system are obvious. It is not possible -trader that system to give the insane the proper scien- tific care. The superintendents are likely, as a rule, to be petty township and county politicians, whose theory of the treatment of the insane would not be more advanced than the bolt and bar and stout club regiment of the alto- gether too recent past. If the state is to treat insanity as a disease cura- ble in many cases, and if cure is to be regarded as the best economy, the county idea is not to be considered for a moment. It is suggested that a colony sys- tem in connection with the establish- ed hospitals would be an \effective means of relief for their overcrowded condition, and another proposed rem- edy is to collect from the counties from which insane patients are sent a considerable proportion of the ex- pense of their care. It would not be a bad idea to incorporate this latter plan with the system, as it would prob- ably have the effect of reducing the number of patients. At first sight the cottage plan ap- pears to involve unnecessary expense, but the objection disappears as we look into it. No one advocates ad- ditional large buildings, such as we already have, but, in their stead, a hospital building for the reception and first treatment of patients, and cottages with a capacity of something like sixty persons each, 0 which the patients, after being classified, are transferred and treated as their spe- cial needs require. There is enough land at each location to give employ- ment in its cultivation to a large nuni- ber, and facilities for other employ- ' -11weiarthe,itlisies#00414._eamily be provided. Authorities claim that it is unwise, and even dangerous, to attempt to compel the insane to work, except under expert supervision. Thus all the advantages claimed for the Wis- consin system would be gained and the further benefit of proper care and attendance, with a probable increase of cures. It should be remembered that every cure means a large saving, in the long run, tothe state, not ouly in the actual expense of care, but in the earning power of the patient, to say nothing of the relief of the unfor- tunates and their friends. s. It is advised that land be provided to the extent of two acres to each patient, as being the most economical. At this rate, seven hundred patients can be cared for at the two places and this is the number to be provid, ed for at once, according to the re- port of the board of corrections and charities. In case it should be found that a larger number can be accommo- dated on the same land, by any change in employment found desirable, this number can be increased. The expense contemplated for the two hospitals is no more, than for the one originally proposed. A further and greater advantage is the convenience of the two places to such a large part of the state, especially of the largest cities. The expense, trouble, and dis- tress of mind in conveying patients of this kind is worthy of consideration, and is a large item. Further, these locations will supply a hospital for each congressional district, except the fourth and fifth, and at the most con- venient points to these two, where the state's population Is most dense. Another consideration is that four years have been spent in preliminary work in location. with the result of the two places in question being se- lected as best meeting the require- ments, and that excepting this selec- tion will utilize this labor and expense, and possibly save much annoyance and delay in the future. This so-called compromise seems to have all the advantages claimed for each of the other systems pro- posed without their defects, and The Times believes cottage hospitals at Anoka and Hastings would fill the requirements of the case more nearly than any of the other plans set .forth. -Minneapolis Times.

SHE GOT HIM BACK. How the DOWN iIstre..o Retained _..114:•A Pet Spaniel. When Mrs. Marie Nevins Blaine was married to Dr. W. T. Bull, her pet apaniel, Lion, was banished. After the couple had been married a year Mrs. Bull persuaded her husband to let Lion return for a week, promising to keep him in the stable. Three days of Lion's visit had passed when as Dr. ',Bull was taking off his overcoat in his office there came a rap at the inner door. It was so faint that at first he did not notice it. Then when it was repeated he said, "Come in." No one came, but the rapping went on. He opened the door, and there'stood Lion. He had been knocking the door with a little wooden box he held in his mouth, addressed to Dr. Bu44 The doctor took the box, and Lion, too polite to intrude, turned and walked lb a dignified man- ner back up stairs. The doctor opened the box aunt smiled and threw it in the read the tiny note contain- ed tberei ecrapbasket. The next day Lion knocked and left another note. The third time he came there was a reply for him. The doctor said, "Lion, wait." He took the box, abstracted the note, put one of his own in its place, and handing the box back to the dog gave him a pat and sent him up stairs. Here is a copy of Lion's notes and the reply they finally elicited: DEAR DOCTOR -I am enjoying my visit to my mistress very much. It was very kind of you to invite me here, and I have tried to behave the best I know how. It will be hard to leave my mistress again. I wish you would like me a little bit. Liog. The letter which Lion carried back to his mistress read: Lrox-You are such a respectable, well bred fellow that your viait is extended indefinitely. W. TB. -Boston Journal. MOIST WEATHER. Description of a Spell of Humidity on the Wabash. "Talking about rainy weather," said the westerner, "1 remember once out In Indianapolis meeting a farmer who took the most cheerful view of damp- ness of anybody I ever saw. !asked him if they had had much rain down on the Wabash that spring. " 'Well, it has been a little damp,' he answered. 'The day beforil I left home I had to bang up 24 of my ducks. They had got so water soaked that they couldn't swim any longer. I planted my corn in two feet of water, and I don't expect over 30 bushels to the acre. My wheat is looking pretty well, but the sturgeon and catfish have damaged It considerably. There was about 15 minutes' sunshine one day, and I thought I would plant my potatoes, so I loaded them on a scow and anchored the scow in three feet of water, when it a began to rain again. "'I wanted to go down on the bottom lands next the Wabash to see if the grass was growing for my hay crop, but my wife said that as we di in't have any diving bell she'd rather I wouldn't. I should feel kind of discouraged with all the rain, but I've spent my odd hours Of leisure time -and the even ones, too, on account of staying in out of the wet -building us an ark.

The Youth's Companion tells this story of Oliver Wendell Holmes, one of whose hobbies was to trace genealogies and family resemblances. At the open. hog of the term ef the medical class one year, while he was one of its lecturers, he met for the first time a young mem- ber who introduced himself as, let us say, a Perry of Cambridge. The little doctor looked at him keenly and said: "You are also one of the W. 's Of Cape Cod. I know it by your upper lip." The young man flushed ,and made haste to answer that he never had heard of the W. 'e and did not know any per- son in Cape Cod. But the doctor smiled obstinately and at intervals through the winter would inquire whether Mr. Perry had looked up his ancestor, receiving each time the assurance that inquiry had been made, but no trace of this strain of blood could be found in the family. One day Perry came to him. "You were right, Dr. Holmes. We have found in an old Bible record that my great- great-grandniother was a W. and came from Cape Cod." The doctor beamed with delight. "No upper lip ever deceived me yet," he laughingly exclaimed, and carried his little triumph to all of his friends with s much pleasure as if it had been a ong lost treasure. His Concern. A commercial traveler on his" trip called upou a well known chemist. He was nervous as be put his hand in his pocket and handed out a card. "I represent that concern," said the young man. "You are "fortunate," replied the chemist. The commercial traveler was encour- aged and said: "I think so, sir, and the chemist who trades with us is even more so. My firm has the finest line of cosmetics in the country." "I shouldn't have thought it," slow- ly responded the man of medicines. "Her complexion looks natural." And he banded back the photograph which the young man had given him by mistake. He took it and left without waiting to make any farewell remarks. -London Sketch., Worship of the Tiger. The carcass of the tiger was carried to the adctro-ait village, where a hen was decapitated in front of it by the Goads as an offering to the tigegod, while all the women assembled an did obeisance to the monster, bringing also their children, and placing each a small coin on the tiger's body or in front of its jaws; for these primitive people look on the tiger as their god, and small marvel seeing what a wondrous crea- ture he is, with matchless symmetry of form and mighty strength, before which man seems an insignificant pup- pet. -Tropics and Snows," by Burton.

"A few nights ago,6' writes a Trans- vaal correspondent, "I, in company with a chum, took a stroll round the Native Location which lies about 200 yards from the railway station. We made for u row of huts, four in number, in the tront of which wood fires were burning. "On reaching them we noticed the natives were in the act of catching lo- custs, flying ants and other queer look- ing insects which were swarming around in hundreds, being attracted by the bright light of the fire. "After their wings had been singed through (coming in contact with the fire, the \insects were scooped into a largo hole dug in the sand. We waited several minutes wondering what the motive for all this could be, wheff the niggers formed a circle round this hole and commenced taking out handfuls of these hideous looking things and eating them. "This, as we ascertained, formed the niggers' evening meal, they informing ns it was ‘mooshla scoff' (nice food). London Answers. 4. Simple Sunshine Recorder. Procure an empty quarter plate card- board box, and in the top of the lid cut a hole about half an inch in diameter close t& the edge of one side. Then paste a bit of stiff brown paper over this hole, and when dry prick a hole in the brown paper with a pin. To use the sunshine recorder place a piece of paper in the bottom of the box, but sensitive side uppermost, and on this place a glass plate to keep the pa- per flat. Now put the lid on containing the pin hole, and stand the whole thing flat on a window ledge, the pin hole side facing the south and make a pencil mark all round the box, so that you always place it in the same position, and change the paper once a day, when a very clear record of every peep of sunshine will be found. -New York Mail and Express.

"You know," said a man who writes things for a living, "there'fla bell rings on the typewriter when you get to the end of the line to warn the operator that the end has been reached, and he must stop and take a fresh start. I have no bell in my brain, but I have some- thing there that tells me with no less certainty when I have .done my stint, `and it is time for me to stop for the day.

It was certainly an unfortunate went for John Castle to choose to his fate to the touch, for Kate Man was in the mood to turn on her dee friend, and the sight of John Cast all persons was calculated to loosen tongue considerably. Leila Castle and Kate Manners students at the Datchley Art sch Leila living at home with her fa in Kelton road while Kate lived rooms alone. It had been pleasant Kate as she grew to know Leila be to enliven her days by accepting hospitality which the Castle fan offered. They were kind to the Ion little student, and she was grateful. But latterly Kate had noticed tow drawal of the hospitality. Mr. and M . Castle bowed chillily when they her. Leila became too busy to talk, John, Leila's brother, seemed the o one who remained cordial. His cordi ty, indeed, Kate was forced to adm had decidedly increased, and she fo it by no means unpleasant, though fretted and wondered over the other Then came the afternoon when Le dropped in to tea, and while pretend to wax confidential had lashed Kat pride and temper. The subject of Leil confidence had been John's matrimon hopes and plans, or rather the ho and plans of the Castle family with Bard to John. From hopes and plans Leila had th drifted on to a description, more re istic than polite, of the style of g who often sought to marry John, b who would never be welcomed, nor deed tolerated by her parents or hers from which point she slipped on to hi of the actual girl they all hoped a felt sure John would soon present them as his future wife. Then she to her departure. Kate clinched her hands as she s thinking over the ugly word pictu that Leila had drawn of herself as t -ertful, worldly entangler of John's fections. She could be scornful as w as they. She— But a knock at the do interrupted her angry musings. "Dr. Castle to see you, miss," sa the maid, and there stood John himse He did4rot beat about the bush. had come to ask Kate to be his wif and he went straight to the point. H took the chair nearest to her, and I leaned forward and told his tale wi his love shining in his eyes. But was not prepared for the wrath an misery in the face which she turned o him when he paused. "Do you think I would marry a ma whose people would not tolerate me? she asked in passionate scorn. John started in amazement. Then t recollection of some home speeches which he had listened lately sent t blood to his face. "Don't talk in that way, Kate, m darling," he pleaded. "Nothing ma teas if you love me." "Love you!" she cried. "I think hate everybody in the world—you an them and myself." "What do you mean?" he burst on "What have they—what have I done? "Tell me I" she turned on him fur ously. "Would your father and moth and sister welcome me as your wife?" John hesitated. He was natural] truthful. "You know they would not," sh continued. "You know they would de test me and do all in their power to pre vent such a marriage, and do you think I would fling myself at them as you ask?" "But, Kate, dear Kate, it is mad- ness"— "Go away," she commanded. "I will not have you here. I am going to cry, but I am not going to yield, and I tell you to go." John had not been in the room half an hour, and he wanted to stay longer, but, having issued her commands, Kate gave him no option. She went quickly into .the inner room and locked the • deo, So John was forced to go, but the love and rage in his heart Were fierce. How Kate spent the hours which fol- lowed most women know without being told; how John spent them most men can guess, but in the morning one idea, at any rate, inspired them both, though their motives appear to have been wide apart, for they both wheeled out their bicycles and mounted them. Then theilivergence of their motives was apparent. Kate, starting off im- pulsively down the stretch of the road in which she lodged, longing only to get away from everybody, realized sud- denly that the figure in the distance which had just turned the corner was the figure of John Castle, and without hesitation she wheeled about and sped the other way. That John was coming to see her she felt sure, but she devoutly hoped that he had not caught sight of her. The roads were slushy, but the air was still, and the wild strength she brought to bear upon her pedals sent her flying over the ground. She realized, however, that the roads were no worse and the sir was equally favorable to John if he chose to follow, 5u2d her anxiety became intense. As she turned into the busier roads she was forced to slacken pace, and the hindrance set her fuming. She saw bi- cycles coming toward her, and through the clatter of carts and feet she seemed to hear the "swish" of others following her, but she dared not turn her head to ass if the one she dreaded was among tharn, mo put nen- rest le of her ,ere ool, mily in for tter ths roily ely ith rs. met and nly all - it, und she s. ila ing a's ial pes re en al in ut in - if, ate ad to oh at re he af- ell or id If.

In time, though, she grew accustomed to it, and as she sped on her ears or her imagination became conscious of the "swish" of a bicycle still following. The pace at which she was going be- gan to distress her. Her muscles seemed to be contracting, her breath came pains fully. She remembered that after the level stretch came a sharp downward slope, and after that a hill, up which it would be impossible for her to ride. She was growing desperate. She dared not face John, for she could not rely upon her strength. She was angry, mortified, resentful, but she loved John Castle, and therein lay her vulnerability. The "swish" behind her sounded nearer. She could not stop. In the hur- ry of her thoughts she determined to keep up the race to the last possible moment. There was little hope now of escape, but it was the only course—and anything might happen. Then the slope ' began. It was 4teep and rugged. The road, too, narroWed gradually, and the slush was deeper. Kate seemnd literally to fly over the ground, for she gave no thought to/her brake. The cyclist behind seemed hs be using the same method. He was elose upon her now, coming swiftly as an eagle. AS they neared the bottom Kate be- came conscious that a big black object was looming down the opposite hill, but she did not heed it. "Anything my happen," was the only thought she s conscious of as she swerved close to ftc hedge to allow the big thing to pass. Next moment there came a slip, a crash behind her, a shout and a groan. She lost her nerve and swerved over into the hedge—and the race was over!, The shock half stunned her for some seconds. Then else scrambled up and looked back. A wagoner was kneeling beside a man, who was lying very still —the man was John Castle, John Castle lay motionless at the bot- tom of the wagon on that slow journey back, and Kate held his hand in an agony of love and fear and remorse, not daring to cry -out, yet finding it almost unbearable to keep silence. Her heart was soft and humble enough when she reached the home and saw the mother's misery, and she told her tale as gently as she could. Only when she turned to Leila did her bitter- ness rise again. "Last night your brother asked me to be his wife," she said. "That," point- ing to his still body, "is the result of my refusal. If you wish to learn the result of my acceptance, you shall come and ask me for it." And Leila did. Acceptances of love are not in the recognized list of cures and antidotes, but one acted most successfully in the case of John Castle—so successfully in- deed that once or twice Kate was tempt- ed to think his concussion a fraud. However, if it were, so the end seemed really to justify the means—Lloyd's News. Position and Sleep. The position affects sleep. A con- strained position generally prevents re- pose, while a comfortable one wooes sleep. Lying flat on the back, with the limbs relaxed, would seem to secure the greatest amount of rest for the muscu- lar system. This is the position assumed in the most exhausting diseases, and it is generally hailed as a token of revival when a patient voluntarily turns on the side. But there are several disadvan- tages in the supine posture which im- pair or embarrass sleep. Thus in disor- dered conditions of the stomach the blood seems to gravitate to the back of the head and to produce troublesome dreams. Nearly all who are inclined to snore do so when lying on the back, because the soft palate and uvula hang on the tongue, and that organ falls back so as partly to close the top of the wind- pipe. It is better, therefore, to lie on the side, and, in the absence of special disease rendering it desirable to lie on the weak side so as to leave the healthy lung free to expand, it is well to use the right side, because when the body is thus placed the food gravitates more easily out of the stomach, and the weight of the stomach does not com- press the upper portion of the intes- tines. A glance at any of the visceral anatomy will show this must be so.— Exchange. • A Health Giving Plant. The London Graphic counsels the use of verbena as a sedative. The specially healthful and invigorating qualities of this plant were well known to the Ro- mans, who crushed some of its leaves between their palms after the bath and anointed th"selves freely with it. It is very go:. for brain workers to inhale its perfu e, and the old fashioned cot- tage practice of growing a pot of ver- bena in the .windls may have arisen in the days when balsams and aromatic plants were cultivated specially for their virtues as disinfectants and puri- fiers of the air. Be that as it may, the scent of the verbena is generally popu- lar and is to be recommended to all weak and nervongs-people to whom strong manufactnind scents are right- fully an abomination, A Correction.

"How do you ascertain the speed of a ship?" is a question frequently ad- dressed to naval men, and an explana- tion will therefore probably be of in- terest to many readers. There are sev- eral methods, says Army and Navy Il- lustrated, the commonest and most an- cient being by the use of the "log." This instrument consists of three parts —the logship, the line and the marks. The logship is a piece of wood about half an inch thick and shaped like a quadrant, with a piece of lead let in round the circular edge to make it float perpendicularly in the water. It is hung by lines at each angle, the three lines being joined together about two feet from the logship. Two of the lines are securely fixed to the ship, and the other has a bone peg at the end, which, being pushed into a hole in the ship, temporarily fastens it there. From the point of juncture of the three lines a sufficient length is measured, generally about 100 feet, to take the logship well clear of the ship's wash. This is called the "stray line" and is marked with a piece of bunting. From the bunting is measured 47 feet 3 inches and the line marked here with a piece of leather. Then another 47 feet 3 inches is meas- ured off and marked with two knots, then another space the same length and marked with three knots, and so on as far as seven knots. Half way between each batch of knots one single knot is made. The log line is then ready for use. The space between the knots is found from the simple little rule of three sum: As 3,600 seconds (number of seconds in an hour), 28 seconds (length of sand - glass), 6,080 feet (number of feet in a nautical mile), length of line required —which works out to 47 feet 3 inches. To use the log four persons are re- quired—two men to hold the reel on which the line is wound, the quarter- master to hold the glass, and the „uaid- shipman of the watch to heave the log. The last named puts the peg firmly in the logship and then gathers three or four coils of line iu his hand, sufficient to admit of the logship being thrown well clear of the ship. He asks, "Clear glass, quartermaster?" "Clear glass, sir!" comes the reply, and overboard goes the logship and line, the reel rapidly revolving. Presently the middy feels the piece of bunting passing through his hand, and he gives the order, "Turn." The quattermaster turns the glass and watches the sand, while one "reeler" holds well over his head, so as to give the line fair play. When the sand has run out, "Stop!" cries the quartermas, ter. The midshipman grasps the line, assisted by the other "reeler" and looks for the nearest knot, finding a single one close to his hand. Then the line is haul- ed in, and four knots appear, which sig- nify that the ship is going 434 knots through the water. The jerk of the line draws the peg from the logship, which now floats on its flat side and is easily hauled in. When a ship is going over four knots, a 14 second glass is used, the speed being double that shown by the knots on the line. Poisonous Plants. The berries of the yew have killed many persons, and it is pretty well known nowadays that it is not safe to eat many peach or cherry kernels at once. Among the garden plants com- monly in vogue which possess a poison- ous nature botanists mention the flowers' of the jonquil, white hyacinth and snowdrop, the narcissus being also par- ticularly deadly—so much so, indeed, that to chew a small scrap of one of the bulbs may result fatally, while the juice of the leaves is an emetic. There is enough opium in red poppies to do mis- chief, and the autumn crocus, if the blossoms are chewed, causes illness. The lobelias are all dangerous, their juice, if swallowed, producing gidainess, with pains in the head. Lady's slipper poisons in the same manner as does poison ivy. The bulb seems to be the most harmful. Lilies of the valley are also as poisonous. The leaves and flow- ers of the oleander are deadly, and the bark of the catalpa tree is very mis- chievous. The water dropwort, when not in flower, resembles celery and is virulent. Colored Gaslight. M. Salomonov, a Russian chemist, an- nounces in Inventicns the discovery of an impregnating liquid for incandescent gaslight mantles which effects a color- ing of the light, varying it as may be desired. The material by which this is accomplished consists of 12 parts by weight of magnesium sulphate, 4 parts of zinc sulphate and 1 part of potassium bichromate, or in its stead from 1 to 5 parts of ammonium bichromate, dis- solved in from 50 to 100 parts of dis- tilled water. To the solution thus form- ed are added some drops of a silver ni- trate. In this liquid the mantles are dipped and dried, such a mantle im- parting to the light a pale red color, which can be intensified by the addi- tion of a small quantity of stannic ni- trate to the impregnating liquid. If platinum tetrachloride is substituted for the silver nitrate, the light will have a gofden yellow color. Origin of Modern Ironclad.. It is of historic interest that the mod- ern ironclad, with its turrets and mas- sive plates, had its root idea in the fa. mous monitors first designed for the United States government by Ericsson, who sought to combine invulnerability with very heavy ordnance. The earliest monitors had decks almost level with the water, revolving turrets and cannon that threw round shot 150 pounds and upward in weight. But even under fa- vorable conditions they could fire only one round in three minutes, and al- though that measure of offensive capaci- ty was capable of destroying any other contemporary man-of-war, it would be of no account at the present day. Erics- son, however, gave the cue to naval de- signers, all over the world, and his ele- mentary principle has only been devel- -oped and modified during the years since.—Popular Science. A Possibility That It Will Soon He In Common Use. Experiments have been made for sev- eral years with a new application of compressed air, bringing results in practical fields, the promoters contend, as certain as electricity and much safer, more economical and more easily con- trolled than the mysterious fluid, steam or cable. Its advantages over' the steam loco - Motive are said to be economy, cleanli- ness, retention of power, and the even and regular manner in which this power is freed. With the saute charge it is just as easy to run the 'compressed air engine 60 miles an hour as it is to run it 20 miles for three hours, and the time in which the distance is to be cov- ered is only linsited by the character of the roadbed. Other fields the new forceabids fair to enter are those of the truck, omnibus COMPRESSED AIR LOCOMOTIVE. and carriage. A single charge of air will propel a vehicle from 15 to 25 miles. A compressed air truck can be stored with sufficient power to run it until noon and with another charge un- til evening, snaking 40 miles for the day, or about twice as much distance as the ordinary horse truck can cover. The cost is less than a cent a mile for power to carry a weight of ten tons up a 5 per cent grade. The secret of being able to charge a locomotive for a run of 100 miles is said to lie in the process of making the steel bottles or air chambers. They are of the hardest and finest steel known and capable of imprisoning a power which would burst an ordinary steel case into fragments. Excessive Use of Salt. The use of salt as a condiment is so general and so universally believed in as necessary that we rarely hear a word against its excessive use, but there is a multitude of persons who eat far too much salt—eat it on everything, on meat, fish, potatoes, melons, in butter, on tomatoes, turnips and squashes, in bread and on a host of foods too numer- ous to mention. To so great an extent is it used that no food is relished which has not a salty taste, and this hides more or less the real taste, which is often very delicate. Now, the amount of salt required in the system is com- paratively small, and if the diet has been rightly compounded very little is necessary. What are some of the evils of the excessive nae of salt? The effect is to paralyze the nerves of taste or per, vert them so they cannot enjoy a thing which has not a salty flavor, and in ad- dition there is a direct tax on both the skin and kidneys in removing it from the blood. Whether the skin is harmed by the tax we do not know. Possibly it is not greatly injured, yet we know that few people possess a healthy skin, but it is now pretty well settled that an excessive use of salt does overtax the kidneys in its removal and that cases of derangement and disease of these or- gans are due to this use. We advise our readers and others to look into this matter and to try and diminish the ex- cessive use of this condiment. We be- lieve they will be better for Overstimulating the Nerves. Among the rank and file of the medi- cal profession the opinion is almost uni- versal that the various substances now so extensively resorted to as nerve stim- ulants are fraught with far more harm than good. Cocaine is a typical exam- ple of this class of remedies, an alkaloid the employment of which has beeti pro- nounced by high authority to be as seri- ously unfortunate as the induction of chronic alcoholism and less easily con- trolled. Another danger is the addition of kola to certain articles of food. This kola or Java nut is the fruit of a tree indigenous to western Africa and culti- vated in various tropical countries. It has been,found, on analysis, to contain 2.13 per cent of caffeine, which is a considerably larger quantity than is met with in the finest Mocha coffee and it possesses very decided physiological action, the symptoms being a sensation of heaviness in the head, flashes of light fore the eyes, singing in the ears, loss, s. sleep, restlessness and, after larg -es, delirium; when employed. in s, ..er cases and in appropriate doses, medical authorities are agreed that caffeine is a useful drug, but if it is titken habitually in large quantities, as has come to be the practice, the arti- cle is capable of inducing an undesira- ble condition of overstimulation of the nerve centers. English as Written In Norway. Here is a good specimen of English as she is written abroad. We find it in St. Martin's -le -Grand, the postoffice magazine: "The hotel for tourists on Turtegro (owner, Mr. Igar Oiene), is laying by the foot of the eminent 'Skagastolstin- der, ' the largest field in Jotunheimen for topmounters.

If You Have a Tendency to Gont, Shun Meat as You Would Torture, A Little Advice to the Great Army of Sufferers' From Dyspepsia. A physician, writing in the Phila. delphia Inquirer on "Foods and Their Effect on the Human System," says: That out of sorts feeling from which most of us suffer half the days of our life is usually due to our eating things we shouldn't. Although we are con- structed on the same model, scarcely any two people have exactly the same kind of heart, liver and other organs, and as a result nothing is truer than the saying that "One man's meat is an- other man's pqison." Meat, for inItance, is a slow poison to a number of individuals. If there is a gouty strain in your fainjly, you are storing up future torture for yourself every time you eat a chop or piece of beef. Gout is simply the result of too much uric acid in the blood, and meat is full of the material from which uric acid is made. You may think that so long as you have not to sit in an easy chair all day there is no need for precautions in diet. But the first symptoms are always mild, and if you feel irritable and un- able to settle down to work you had better be oareful how much meat you eat. Englishmen are said to be the worst tempered people on earth. They are also the most gouty, and there can be no doubt that they -are the greatest meat eaters. Nothing is more nourishing than sugar, yet it is absolutely poison to those who are prone to diabetes, and any one inclined to corpulency should regard it as a natural enemy. Two lumps of sugar per day in excess of the quantity required by the body would add 60 pounds to a man's weight in five years—that is, of course, if he had the sort of constitution that easily puts on flesh. But it is not sugar alone which is in- jurious to diabetic and stout people. The former should not look at porridge, rice, beet root, Spanish onions, port wine, rum or ginger beer; the latter should take neither soup, beer, potatoes nor treacle, while gouty people should not touch peas or lamina. If any near member of your family has St. Vitus' dance or epilepsy, you should eat meat very sparingly and grapes not at all, while you might as well think of committing suicide as fre- quenting the barroom. For dyspeptics it is impossible to say what food is good, because everything s bad. White bread remains undigest- ed for hours, brown bread is most irri- ating and injurious, vegetables are con- verted into gases and painful'acids, and most kinds of meat are too heavy. The dyspeptic, in fact, ought never to have been born. However, since the sufferer from dys- pepsia must eat, let him follow this rule, rid it may bring relief: Eat a little of verything, but eat sparingly, never eaving the table with a sense of hay - ng eaten sufficient; eat slowly. Masti- ate all food thoroughly and never drink while eating. If be must drink, let him rink after he has finished eating. No doubt the majority of people see o connection between Their ailments ad the breakfast or dinner which they ave enjoyed. But there are many per - ons who are so severely affected by par- icular articles of diet that there is no uestion about the fact that some kinds f food are more or loss poisonous to us 11, although we may not suffer very reatly after eating them. An acquaint - ace of the writer's, for example, falls veto convulsions if he eats a single trawberry, and even the odor of straw erry jam in the neighborhood of jam actories almost throws him into a fit. The writer knows a lady whose heart wises to a stop if she eats an egg. Of nurse she never intentionally eats one ow, but frequently on taking a piece f cake or some kind of pudding or ante containing eggs she swoons. Many people get cramp in the stem - oh from eating honey, and more than no death has resulted from this cause. there are made violently sick by the mell of apples, and a patient of the titer's has often averred that even the ght of beet root seemed to suffocate im, while another had to give up rinking milk because it produced in- ns° inflammation of the eyes. Many kinds of fish cause serious ill- ess. Lobsters and crabs produce most ainful itching in some people, and the riter has known several who after eat - g salmon felt a horrid taste in the outh, and soon after suffered so badly our headache as to be compelled to go bed. These latter are the extreme instances injury from food, but they prove that ousands of people suffer in a less de- ee, and that probably no one can nch or dine without swallowing some- ing poisonous to his system.

The greatest danger from la grippe is of its resulting in pneumonia. If reason- able care is used, however, and Chamber- lain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for la grippe we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which show conclusively that this remedy is a certain preventive of that dangerous dis- ease. It will cure la grippe in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by J.G.Sieben. The Tax Collection.

I., remaining until 1853, and from there went to Newtown, Long Island, for a short time, and thence to Vin- cennes, Ind., in 1854, arriving in St. Paul May 7th, 1856. In the fall of 1856 Mr. and Mrs. Case located in Nininger, where he operated a saw mill from 1857 to 1865. In 1871 Mr. Case and his sons were engaged in the mer- cantile business in Hastings, conduct- ing a general store on Second Street. Mr. Case died Mar. 9th, 1886.

May it remain thus. The school presented the retiring superintendent with a diamond locket, with H. H. S. engraved, as a token of remembranc,e. Prof. Horace Goodhue, of Carleton College, entertained the pupils with a short talk on the advantage of a college education Thursday morning. A pleasant surprise was tendered to Miss Myria Welshons on Saturday evening by the senior class, the oc- casion being her seventeenth birthday. The janitor has seemed quite pale lately due, doubtless, to the additional fires to be kept up, although there are vague whispers of a visitation one night as he tended the same. It is hoped he doesn't see things in his sleep, anyway the warm weather will tell. The self governing system proves superb, as there- has been less dis- order in and about the high school than any preceding year. The read- ing room is in a flourishing condition at present, about twelve magazines and four newspapers being available to the pupils at any}hour their lessons may permit. The resignation of Supt. J. H. Lewis has created considerable confusion in the public schools of Hastings and is deeply felt by the high school pupils, especially the graduating class of '99, to whom his services seemed well nigh indis- pensable. But we feel his successor to be a man competent, although lack- ing the experience, to maintain the high standard of the school, and believe matters will soon resume their old channel. It is to be regretted that Supt. Magnusson has taken so many classes to teach, as there are times when his attentions are required elsewhere than the class room. The following resolutions have been adopted by the high school with ref- erence to the promotion of Supt. J. H. Lewis: WHEREAS, Our superintendent and teacher has seen best to remove his labors to other fields, and insomuch as he has well and faithfully performed his many and arduous duties among us. And WHEREAS, He has so faithfully impart- ed to us, both by example and knowledge, lessons which we shall always cherish and emulate. And WHEREAS. All honor and praise is due him for whatever success we as his stu- dents have attained, and also for the good standing that this school has obtained through his unceasing work. Therefore be it Resolved, That we, as members of the high school, do hereby jointly and indi- vidually express our sincere regrets at his departure from our midst. Furthermore be it Resolved, That we extend our hearty congratulations to him in his good for- tune, and our best wishes for his success in his new work: Furthermore be it Resoleed, That these resolutions be spread on the minutes of the High School Literary Society and also printed in the weekly papers, and that a copy be pre- sented to our respected superintendent.

A pest that fatally afflicts animp&g. but not man, and has thus far been eonfinto central and southern Africa, is the nbject of a report to the Royal society, in England, by a committee ap- pointed to investigate the matter. The diseas3 in question is the result of a bite by a fly scarcely larger than thif common house fly, and though its prog- rec.4 is somewhat slower than that of the e. -'n from snake bite the effect is , en-I:tally deadly to ox, horse or dog. A sting like that of a mosquito leads to symptoms resembling those of a cold, and the animal grows steadily worse until it dies, perhaps a week or ten days nd a ono - after the tiny wound was inflicted. The importance of a malady of sort was so apparent that the Royal ciety appointed a committee to s its nature and to ascertain, if possi whether any cure could be found. good deal of interesting informatio presented in the report, but as yet pits of some original and thorough periments, no remedy has been fo for the disease. The most that scie can recommend at present is a coati ancepf the protective measures resor to by the natives, which consist of p tering animals over before they are t en into an infected district with man and other filthy substances. The tsetse fly sucks blood, as ekes mosquito, and communicates its poi unintentionally nes doubt just as m quiebes are supposiCsd to convey malar poison into the veins of their victi The mischief making agent in both stances appears to be a living organic a microbe, characteristic in the one c of malarial fever and in the other of strange and fatal tsetse disease. T existence of the latter parasite was covered by Surgeon Major Bruce sere years ago, after a careful study of t scourge. The fly is so abundant a perniciously active in some regions th they cannot be inhabited by horses a cattle. It is a curious fact, though, th man appears to be entirely unaffect by its bite. The great advances made within t last few years in bacteriology naturits suggested to the Royal society inves gators a line of experiment from whic at the outset, it was reasonable to e pect much. The first step was to obta specar..ens of the microbe, the next w to look into his habits and relatio ships, and the third was to see wh could be done in the way of produci an antitoxin from his poison. The microbes wanted were tak from the blood of a dog that had be infected with, the disease on its wa home from Africa. Cultures were th made in the usual manner. Vario animals were inoculated with the par sites and attempts were made to pr ' duce a serum, such as is obtained f snake bite, diphtheria and tetanus, th would protect animals that had n been attacked and cure those whic had. But the systenolvhich works admirably with a few of the best know bacterial maladies does not seem to b efficacious with that which resul from the bite of the tsetse fly. Sever variations of the standard methods wer tried without success. Bile from disease animals was injected, for instance. were preparations contailattg para sites of kindred maladies. Dieting w also resorted to, but yielded no pallia tive effects. The inquiry of the committee wa carried on in such a comprehensiv manner as to include a comparison wit the tsetse infection al somewhat simila phenomena noticed -among rats in Indi and elsewhere. Koch is said to have at tributed a plague prevalent among In dian rats to the tsetse parasite. The Royal society committee does not con- sider the point established, but the identity of the African malady with one ogrved in Algeria is more prob- able. One part of the investigation conduct- ed by the committee related to the kinds of animals that are subject to the pest under discussion. To obtain informa- tion on this point, cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, rats, guinea pigs and even hedge- hogs were inoculated. They proved sus- ceptible to the disease. At first it was sus ed that the guinea pig was im- one, but while it responds more slow-, ly than some other animals to the poison it succumbs eventually. No recovery oc- currecl after the parasites had once got into the creature's blood,' Not only does the horse die in consequence of a tsetse fly bite, but a hybrid of the zebra and ass does too. No hope of finding a sub- stitute for the nobler animal that would be proof against the disease was afferd- e-„ed by.- this test. Tlere, however, are two or three comforting facts, although they have little practical bearing on the problem presented. It seems proved that the disease cannot be communicat- ed by eating the flesh of an animal which,has died from it unless some lesion exists in the mouth or food pas- sages. In other words, the poison must be injected into the blood. The virus rather quickly ceases to be infective. Blood drawn from a living diseased ani- mal loses this in thzee or four days at most, but materiar -taken from a dead animal seems to be powerless after about 24 hours.

Provisional protection has just been granted for en invention that is said to carry the voice loudly and clearly for a distance of miles, says the London Mail. . It is claimed by the inventor, H. L. • Short, that the fitting of his apparatus in the house of commons and connect- ing it to Hyde park would allow of thousands of people hearing in clear tones every word spoken in the parlia- mentary chamber. Without divulging any details, which it is necessary to keep secret til/the patents applied for in different parts of the worlclahave been granted, it may be stated that the apparatus consists of a phonograph with special cylinders and bearing a funnel shaped mouthpiece. Most people have heard with tubes in their ears the records of the phono- graph. The new instrument gives forth the memical and mai sounds in such volume as to be almost deafening in an ordinary sized room, and, as Mr. Short showed, he could 'increase this volume at will. "My instrument, " he said, "will work distinctly and with satisfaction aver two miles, and this I have actually proved. It is only six months since I returned to England, but the experi• ments madeln that time convince me that the voice can be conveyed over treble that 'distance with ease. My first idea of its use was for ship'captain, when in a heavy fog at sea, or for ships passing each other at night at a dis- tance when their lights only were visi- ble. Now, however, I realize that tele- phones can be made by the new sound magnifier to amplify a speaker's voice so that it will fill the largest hall.

The Germans, who are so far ahead of many nations in a certain class of technical skill, have incorporated into their plumbing practice a nonfreezing water pipe, which will save an incalcu- lable amount of annoyance and pro- fanity in a single winter. The purpose of the invention is not only to prevent the water from being frozen, but to provide an opportunity for its expan- sion by cold. Into the iron pipe, as far as it is above the ground, there is in- serted a second narrower pipe of thin .sheet tin or lead, which is filled with an elastic substance, such, for instance, as rubber. TMs insertion remains un- affected by the orditairy pressure, but if the water should be frozen by ex treme cold the elastic insertion is com- pressed by so much as the volume of water is increased by the freezing. With the coming of the thaw the inser- tion expands again to its original cir- cumference. The object of the tin or lead around the insertion is to prevent an unpleasant taste or odor being im- parted to the water. It is said that wa- ter pipes provided with such an inser- tion have withstood a cold test of 40 degrees centigrade, while others that were not so provided invariably burst at that temperature.—London Sketch. Electricity and Cats. S angoly enough, I once had an im- pre ion that a cat's tendency was to tra 1 north and to face the north as a magnet does, and that this tendency had some intimate association with the eledtrical strength of its fur. In brief, I looked upon a cat as a lightning con- ductor on a small scale, and that ac- cording to its temperature, negative or positive, did it face north or south or just as the points of its fur were at- tracted by the negative or positive poles of the earth. I was led to this by some observations I had made some years previously in the London suburbs. Then I noticed that the cats of that particu- lar district had a tendency to walk face toward the north rather than to walk on walls that ran east and west. As to the idea that cats are good weather gauges, I do not credit that. I believe that the reason cat washes itself over its ears or not is' bound up with the particular method by which the particu- lar animal cleans itself. Its main object in washing, to my mind, is just to com- plete an electrical circuit, for by so do- ing it generates heat -and therefore a pleasing sensation in its fur.—Caesell'a DEEP SEA LIFE. An Expedition to Explore the Bot- tom of the Ocean. An expedition left London a short time ago, says Chambers' Journal, the object of which was to investigate a most important problem regarding the distribution of life in the sea. It used to be believed that the ocean depths were tenantless and that all life was confined to the shallow surface belt, but this idea had to be abandoned even be- fore the Challenger went on her mem- orable voyage of scientific resear Next the idea was mooted that e oceanic fauna was confined to the su face and bottom belts, separated by an intermediate zone of barrenness. Dur- ing the Challenger expedition it was found that if the depth at which the surface nets were towed was increased new animals were inclosed ,in their meshes, an observation which pointed to the probability of life at all depths. rue Investigations now In progress are designed to settle this important point The Oceana, fitted with deep sea gen and every modern appliance, is at work off the west coast of Ireland. It was intended that extended observations' should be made with a chain of tow nets, the length of which would be gradually increased until a depth of 2,000 fathoms was reached. Experi- ments were also devised with nets of a self opening and closing nature, so that samples of life at different depths could thus be secured. It was also intended to conduct experiments with a deep sea trawl. The expedition was fitted out at the expense of the Royal Geograph- ical society and the Drapers' and Fish- mongers' companies. Byproducts of Cotton. As long as the planters persist in rais- ing more cotton than the world can consume at a paying price it is not to be expected that there will be an ad-- vance to a much higher and permanent level of the cotton markets than has ob- tained during the last two years. Nev- ertheless the case of the cotton planters is not altogeter hopeless. Cotton lint is not the only valuable product of the cotton crop, as was the case 15 or 20 years ago. We now have byproducts from the crop which are worth $20,000,000 or more annually, and scientists and in- ventors are energetically busy widening the field of consumption and creating new industries to utilize cotton prod- ucts. By the single discovery of cotton- seed oil $15,000,000 annually was add- ed to the value of the cotton crop. At present not more than one-third of the seed crop finds its way to the oil mills. But the uses for oil are almost deify in- creasing in number, and the demand seems to grow with the production. There is room therefore for the crude oil busineee to grow to be worth $40. 000, - 000 or more a year. The seed meal and seed hulls trade is quite large at pres- ent, but not nearly so large as may b expected within a few years. These are the chief and better known byproducts of the cotton plant. Each is capable of being subdivided many times, and the chemists are busy dividing them. —Sa- vannah News. Atmospheric Pre o . It is well known that the pressure of the atmosphere on the surface of the earth is about 15 pounds to the square inch, equivalent, that is, to a pressure at the lower end of a column of mer- cury about 30 inches high or to the pressure of a column of water 34 feet high. Dr. Woodward of Columbia uni- versity, in some interesting researches on this line, concludes that such an equivalence of pressure gives at once a lower limit to the mass of the atmos- phere, for this mass must be greater than that of a layer of mercury cover- ing the entire earth to a depth of 80 inches or of a layer of water 84 feet in depth. But the attainment of an upper limit to the mass of the atmosphere Dr. Woodward declares to be less easy, since it is believed to extend to a height of about 100 miles and may exist in an attenuated form even to severer thou- sands of miles—the problem being fur- ther complicated by the fact that the atmosphere rotates with the earth. An outcome of the investigations made by this learned scientist is briefly that the mass of the atmosphere must be greater than one -millionth and less than one - twelve -hundredth of the entire mass of the earth. Preservation of Meat. A Danish zoologist, August Fjelstrap, is said to have discovered a new and efficient way of preserving meat, which has been adopted with success in the Danish slaughter houses during the last year. The method is founded on the theory that decomposition of the blood is almost entirely responsible for the ,tapid putrefaction of the animal body. Means are, therefore, taken to remove the blood from the carcass immediately after death and to inject the vessels with a solution of brine, the entire proc- ess occupying only a few minutes. It is not stated to what extent this treat- ment alters the character of the meat from a gastronomic point of view, but we assume that it would, in the caae of Imported Magazine. some of the methods of meat meats, be far preferable to To a person who uses the brain a good deal a light novel or an amusing book of travels or social essays will be found to he of the very greatest value as a rest tonic.

Why He Didn't Reply. It is not always easy to be polite.

There has been no state in the Union as fortunate in the matter of accidents as Colorado, so far as her passenger traf- fic is concerned, says the Denver Times. This is something marvelous, too, when one takes into consideration the fact that there are more crooked, winding roads in the state than in any other in the Union. There are more up grades and down grades and lapping over than on all the rest of the lines of the coun- try combined. Away back in the past when the pro- jectors and promoters of the Union Pa- cific suggested to congress that it would be possible to climb over the mountains and band the continent with rails of steel, the members of congress laughed and told in long speeches of the folly of such sn undertaking. Not very for in trat lusters- of Colorado, when the Rio Grande proposed to pierce the mountain fastnesses, many of the citi- zens derided the idea and suggested that others could ride in a train up over mountains if they wished to, "but not me." Hut the Union Pacific found its way safely through the mountains, and sp did the Rio Grande, and so have several other roads. They carry the traffic across the backbone of the continent and do not report as large' a per cent of loss of life as the air lines on the broad prairies. The secret of the safety of mountain roads lies in the fact that the best equipment is used and the greatest care exercised in the running of trains, two facts which guarantee safety. How to Drink Water. Professor Slikham says there are few people who thoroughly realize the value of water as a beverage or who know how to obtain the greatest advantage from it. The effects produced by the drinking of water vary with the man- ner in which it is drunk. If, for in- stance, a pint of cold water be swallow- ed as a large draft, or if it be taken in two portions with a short interval be- tween, certain definite results follow— effects which differ from those which would have resulted from the same quantity taken by sipping. Sipping is a powerful stimulant to the circulation, a thing which ordinary driaking is not. During the act of sipping the action of the nerve which slows the beats of the heart is abolished, and as a consequence that organ contracts much more rapid- ly, the pulse beats more quickly, and the circulation in various parts of the body is increased. In addition to this, we find that the, pressure under which the bile is secreted -1s raised by the sip- ping of fluid. And here is a point which might well be noted by our readers: A glass of cold water slowly sipped will produce greater acceleration of the pulse for a time than will a glass of wine or spirits taken at a draft. In this connection it may not be out of place to mention that sipping cold water will often allay the craving for alcohol in those who have been in the habit of tak. ing too much of it and who may be en- deavoring to reform, the effect being probably due to the stimulant action of the sipping. —Pepular Science. Time For *king Medicine.. In Le Revue et Therapie Dr. E. Vogt gives it as his ()Onion that most medi- cine can be taker any time on an empty stomach, before 'or after meals, though if an irritating substance be introduced it is important that it be not in too small a volume. If such a body is solu- ble in water, a highly diluted solution is given, but if It is insolnble it is giv- en with the meal. Again, the form of the drug is of iirportance—hard pills, for instance, taken on an empty stom- ach may irritate; likewise, wafer cap- sules, whose contents first spread over a limited space in the stomach. But if such capsules, like sodium salicylate, are given with the meal, the contents mix at once with the food, and cannot cause any local irritation of the mu- cous membrane of the stomach If, however, a prompt action is desired, the medicament Is given on an empty stomach, but always diluted, because it is very sensitive to strong solutions. Mercury salts irritate the mucous mem- brane. Therefore they are given in a diluted solution on an empty stomach early in the morning. Bitters, Dr. Vogt advises, should be taken the moment one sits down at table, not half an bout before the meal. It is imprudent to ad- minister cod liver oil before the meal. Fan to Warm With. Every one is familiar with the use of electric fans for cooling purposes—hard- ly a restaurant, business office or place of amusement being without them in hot weather. A writer suggests theft use for heating purposes as well in places where the usual methods are in- convenient or inadequate, explaining the process thus: "If an electric heater were constructed of the form and size of the face of the guard usually attach- ed to electric fans and fastened to the guard, and if it were fed with current from the same source of supply as that Which operates the fan, it should follow that the fan propeller would force out and distribute the warm air generated by the electric heater. "—Electrical Re- view. Twisted Logic. It is said that during the Irish rebel- lion of 1848 a bishop sent a request to a parish priest for information and re- ceived the reply, "The peace of the country is assured; faction fights are increasing." A similar twist in logic is manifested in a message of congratulation received by Mr. Willis, on his election to the I New South Wales parliament. The tel- egram from his agent read, "Carnida jubilant; heavy fighting; several hurt, including self.' ,--Loullon Chronicle. The Ungoinly Russian Sailor. A real Kellerman has fingers bent up like fishhooks from the lifelong habit of gripping g . The Russian sailor carries his hands like a soldier and can- not possibly be "handy." A sailor's gait ashore has a slight roll. This arises from the need at sea of keeping up the ,windward side of a rolling ship. And the rolling gait marks one of a sailor's finest qualities—balance. Unless the body balances and poises to meet every rotion of a ship the result is seasick - ss. Now, the Russian bluejacket does not roll in his gait ashore, but marches. Neither has he any sense of balancing at sea and seasickness in the Russian fleet is a source of actual weakness and danger. The Black sea squadron can only put to sea in the three calmest months of the summer, and the so called maneuvers take place ashore on the Kenai peninsula, consisting mainly of battalion drill. One more trait of the real sailor is hit self reliance, which makes him fit for facing emergencies single handed. But the Russian bluejacket has none of this. He is not a machine in himself, but only a little bit of a machine which cannot work without the other bits. list is huge in stature—a giant compared with our men—but in his winter over- coat it is impossible to distinguish him from a soldier. Unhandy, seasick and reliant only in drill discipline, he is ut- terly unfit for active service.—London Answers. Silent Brides. In Korea during the whole of the marnage day the bride must be as mute as a -statue. If she says a word, or even makes a sign, she becomes an object of ridicule, and her silence must remain unbroken, even in her own TOOM, though her husband should attempt to break it by taunts, jeers or coaxing, for the female servants are all on the watch for such a breach of etiquette as speech, banging about the doors and chinks to catch up and repeat even a single utter- ance, which would cause her to lose caste forever in her circle. This custom of silence is observed with the greatest rigidity among the higher classes. It may be a week or sev- eral months before the husband knows the sound of his wife's voice, and even after that for a length of time she only opens her month for necessary speech. With the father-in-law the custom of silence is still more &id, and the daughter-in-law often passes years with- out raising her eyes to his or addressing a word to him. In Bulgaria a month's silence is imposed on brides unless specially addressed by the husband. Wanted Her Money's Worth, Bridget Rafferty had served the best years of her life as a cook, and now that she was "wearin awe' " and an opera- tion became necessary she haughtily declined to go to a ward, but took one of the best rooms in the hospital. The operation was successful, but the patient was allowed very little food. During her convalescence she made frequent use of the electric bell at her bed. The nurse would fly to her, tb be greeted with some trifling question or the re- mark, "I only wanted to know if you were there." As such frequent use of her bell sug- gested to the matron on that floor that the nurse was neglecting her patient, the nurse remonstrated, and received the following unique explanation: "Well, you see, miss, here I am pay- ing $30 a week, and I'm not seeing any- thing. I'm not hearing anything, and, miss, I'm not eating anything. So I just ring the bell to get my money's worth, and, anyways, I enjoy hearing it ring. "—San Francisco Argonaut. No Diamonds For Her. Here is a story from The Bookman, told by Rndyard Kipling. His father, John Kipling, went to pay a visit to an Indian rajah who was about to bring home a queen. The elder Kipling had been engaged in the decorations of the palace, and its owner showed him the gifts of stuffs and perfumes he had pro- cured for his coming sponse. The rajah also sent for his jewel caskets and asked Mr. Kipling to assist him in selecting the gems to be included in the marriage gifts They were of extraordinary size and value, such gems as are seldom seen except in the east, and to the artist the selection was a pleasure. Finally he lifted a wonderful diamond, one of the choicest gems in the collection, and said: "Yon should send this. No wom- an could resist it." The, rajah looked up, caught it and held it jealously to his breast, then, slowly replacing it in the casket, answered, "Nay, such gems be not for women." They Were New. "Now, George, quit pulling my ear!" "It's my ear now, sweet! Going to pull it all I please!" This is why the hard featured pas- senger with the iron gray chin beard, who had been sitting in the seat behind a young man in a new black broadcloth suit and a young woman in a gray silk traveling dress, got up hastily and went forward into the smoking car. —Chicago Tribune.

A very little familiarity with the poor districts of any city is sufficient to show how primitive and frontierlike are the neighborly relations, says Jane Addams in The Atlantic. The fact that the economic condition of all alike is on a most precarious level makes the ready outflow of sympathy and material as- sistance the most natural thing in the world. There are numberless instances of hercic self sacrifice quite unknown in the circles where greater economic advantages make that kind of intimate knowledge of one's neighbors impossi- ble. An Irish family, in which the man has lost his place and the woman is struggling to eke out the scanty sav- ings by day work, will take, in a widow and her five children who have been turned into the street without a mo- ment's reflection upon the physical dis- comforts involved. The most maligned landlady is usually ready to 15.0 ...a* tleful of coal to a suffering tendat or to share her supper. A woman for whom the/writer had long tried in vain to find work fails to appear at the appointed time when a job turned up at last. Upon investiga- tion it transpired that a neighbor fur- ther down the street was taken ill; that the children ran for the family friend, who went, of course, saying simply. when reasons for her nonappearance were demanded, "It broke me heart to leave the place, but what could I do?" A View of Edmund.. George -F. Edmunds had a high repu- tation in th' country as an able lawyer and a faithful and independent senator. He had unquestionably rendered great public service in the senate. If elected, I believe he would have administered the presidency on the principles which a large majority of the people of Massa- chussets held. He was an excellent de- bater. He was very fond of criticising and objecting to *hat was proposed by other men. He seemed never so happy as when in opposition to the majority of his associates. But he possessed what persons of that temper commonly lack— great capacity for constructive states- manship. Any measure of which he was the author would be likely to ac- complish its purpose and to stand fire. David Davis, who was president pro temporo of the senate, used to say he could always compel Edmunds to vote in the negative on a question by put- ting the question in the old New Eng- land fashion, "Contrary minded will say no," for Edmunds was always con- trary minded. I once told him, borrow- ing a saying of an Englishman, that if George Edmunds were the only man in the world George would quarrel with Edmunds, '—Senator George F. Hoar, in Seri bner's. A Painter of Children. A writer in The Century tells how the noted French artist, M. Bontet de Monvel, became a painter of children's portraits: De Monvel's illustrations are full of atmosphere and an exquisite feeling for the out of door world. The fine effects of light and shade, the tone and com- position of these pictures place them far beyond any others of their class, and proclaim them the work of a con- summate artist. Boutet de Monvel spoke to the children of France as they had never been spoken to before. Bend- ing over the bewitching pictures they exclaimed, "Ah, he understands!" And the fathers and mothers, looking from the little ones who read and enjoyed to the pages over which they bent, saw at once that here was a painter with a new and rare faculty for comprehend- ing childhood. They sought Boutet de Monvel to paint their sons and daugh- ters, till he became, one might say, "painter in ordinary" to the children. State Officials Paid In Pelts.

"After all, " said the bachelor, "the difference between love and dyspepsia is purely relative. It is a matter of time only. One is future and the other past." "How do you mean ?" asked the be- wildered maid. "The lover doesn't want to eat, and the dyspeptic wishes he hadn't," an- swered the bachelor, thereby thinking he had scored one on the sex that was continually disturbing his peace of mind. —Chicago Post Depends.

Among the many curious things noted by the actuaries the following are a few of the most interesting. Wce men have a much better prospect of long life than men, and the chances of married people are distinctly higher than those of bachelors and old maids. From the data provided by the rec- ords of vesicles churches it has been de- duced that the peaceful Quakers have most frequently received the blessings of long life promised in the fifth com- mandment, while the death rate is re- markably high among Methodist clergy- men. Annuitants as a class live from three to five years longer than other people, and this is not due to human perversity, as some humorists have sug- gested. It is undoubtedly due to the lack of worry regarding the changeSS of fortune when a regular income is a cer- tainty. Although no statistics have been col- sor.‘to in the (AYH service, where the yearlf income almost partakes of the character of an annuity, it would perhaps be found that there is tome scientific basis for President Grant's cynical observation regarding this class, "Few die and none resign." —Ainslee's Magazine. A Man of Resource. A big, uncouth looking stranger, with shoulders like a Hercules, walked into a department store, late one afternoon, and; after gazing about a minute, step- ped up to a salesman and made known his wish to buy a shirt. A couple of samples were shown him, and he in- formed the salesman that either one would do. It was an article that sold for $1.50, and in making payment the stranger pulled from his hip pocket a huge roll of bills. He apparently skimmed them over in search of a small bill, but he could not find one of less denomination than $500. One of these was, handed the surprised salesman, but he arose to the occasion and sent it away with the cashboy. When the change came, it was nearly all in small bills.

For ten years this official called punctually at the ministry in question whenever the mo- ment arrived at which his salary was due, and, having pooketed the money, he returndfi quietly to his home in a fashionable part of Paris. One day, while he was chatting tvith a very intimate f 'end, who was well c versed in the idi syncrasies and work- ing of the differen fflcial departments, he asked confidentially his companion if he could tell him the precise spot in which the establishment of which he had been Opointed a deputy custodian was situated, confessing that he bad not the remotest idea of its locality.

The annual aggregate runs into several millions. A scientific) commissiou has been appointed to in- vestigate the mode of dissemination of malarial poison. This poison is, in fact, a minute para- site that attaohes itself to the blood corpuscles. Seen under a microscope, it resembles at the Bret a fungus fixed to the round cell of the corpuscle The fungus eats its way into the health cell and finally leaves it shriveled and bloodless. Hence the pallor so notice- able in pe so s that have suffered from this disease. The corpusoles that give oolor to the bl d have been largely de- stroyed by the malarial parasite The life history of the bacillus after it has entered the human frame is wel known to doctors. Much, too, is known of its previous history. But a link is missing. How is its transfer from the soil ta than accomplished? This the commission is to investigate. There are many theories. The poison is believed to enter the system both in the air respired by the lungs and in the food and water taken in by the stomach. Water drinkieg is regarded in many malarious countries as the most fre- quent form of infection, and it is the • practice to boil all water before imbib- ing it in order to kill the germs. At night, over low lying valleys, a heavy mist will rise, which seems in very truth to be a deadly utiagnatt- Thie white shroud of malarial fog has gained for many a valley iu many a land the ill careened appellation of the valley of death.

These plaguing insects rise from swamps and low lying lands and it is contended that they carry in their bodies a germ of malaria which they deposit in the flesh of the human creatures whoa? they de- lightto torment. This theory is to be carefully inquired into. Malaria ravages every land within the tropics and matey in more temperate climates. Hitherto no systematic inves- tigation of the causation of the fever has been conducted. And yet no greater boon could be given to the world than a safeguard against a disease which not only brings death to millions, but where it does not actually kill leaves behind It misery and wasted lives—London Mail. vanityfit If you wish to make a Somali woman absolutely happy, you give her a look ing glass. She will never before have seen one, but feminine instinct will teach her how to use it.

She was so delight- ed with the first clear sight of her dusky countenance that she sat through two entire days and nights outside Mrs. Gardner's tent gazing with rapture at her own reflection.

I was led to this by some obser- vations I bad made some years previous- ly la the London suburbs. Then I no- ticed that the cats of that particular dis- trict had a tendency to walk in partici- ular directions on the walls that faced the north rather than to walk on wiatls that ran east and west.

SPEED OF A SHIP. The Interesting Process by Which Is Ascertained. "How do yon ascertain the speed a vessel" is a question frequently a dressed to naval lien, and an explana tion will therefore probably be of int est to many readers. There are severe methods, the commonest and most an cunt being by the use of the "log. This instrument consists of three part —the logship, the line and the marks The logship is a piece of wood abon half an inch thick and shaped like qnadrant, with a piece of lead let i -round the circular edge to make it floa perpendicularly in the water. It i hong by lines at each angle, the thretielines being joined togeth r about t feet from the logship. T xo of the line are securely fixed to the "ship," an the other has a bone .peg at the end which; being pushed into a hole in th ship, temporarily fastens it there From the point of juncture of the thre lines a sufficient length is measured generally abot t 100 feet. to take th logship well clear of the ship's wash This is called 'the "stray" line and i narked with a piece of bunting. From the bunting is measured 47 feet 3 inch es and the lino marked here with a piece of leather. Then another 47 feet 8 inches is measured off and marked -with two knots, then another space the same length and marked with three knots, and so on as far as seven loots. Half way between each batch of knots one single knot is made. Tho logline is then ready for use. The space between the knots is found from the simple little rule of three sum As 3,600 seconds (number of seconds in an hour), 28 seconds' (length of san�- glees), 6,080 feet (number of feet in a nautical mile); length of line required -which works out to 47 feet 3 inches. To use the log four persons are re- quired—two peen to hold' the reel on which the line is wound, the quarter- master to hold the glass and the mid shipnian of the,,watch to heave the log. The last named puts the. peg firmly it the logship and. then gathers three or four coils of line in his hand,, sufficient to admit of the logship being thrown well clear of the ship. He asks. "Clear glass, quartermaster i" "Clear glass, air i" comas the reply. and overboard goes the logship and line, the reel rag idly revolving. Presently the middy ,feels the piece of bunting passing through his hand, and he gives the or- der "Turn!" The quartermaster turns the glass and watches the sand. while one "reeler" holds well over his head, so as to give the line fair play When the sand has run out. "Stop!" cries the quartermaster. The midshipman grasps the line, assisted by the other' "reeler,' and looks for the nearest knot, finding a single one close to his band. Then the line is hauled in. and four knots appear, iehich signify that the ship is going four ancd,.,a half knots throngh the wa- ter. The jerk in the line draws the peg froze the log ship,)which now floats on its flat side and is easily hauled in. When a ship is going over four knots, a 14 second glass is used, the speed being double that shown by the knots on the line.—Army and Navy Illustrated. SECRETS OF SCENT. HASTIN GS GAZETTE It Hose the Odor of Flowers Is Trans- ferred to Perfumery. of The deta' sof the Perfumery business d' are descr- ed in the Birmingham Daily Post. T $e fluid substance of which a er- bottle of first class scent consists is not 1 water. but highly rectified spirits of wine impregnated with the desired odor, but the infusion of fragrant flow- s ers in spirits of wine would fail to pro- duce the desired result. An intermedi- t ate process is requisite, and that Ion- a lists in enchaining the subtle perfume of the flowers by means of fat, for n which they have a very strong affinity, t whereas spirit is simply a solvent. 8 Some flowers are macerated in fat, e while others . are simply brought into o close juxtaposition to grease covered s screens, with the result that the fat be- d comes heavily charged with perfume, and will yield it afterwaxd to the.spir- e its of wine. The first task of the manufacturer, e unless this work be done for him by an intermediary, is to derive from the po- o mades what is called a "simple ex- . tract." In Birmingham the pomade, s worth from 5s. 6d. to 7s. a pound, is first opened out into filaments by a - squeezer and is then placed in a churn containing some 20 gallons of spirits. The beaters of the churn are kept rotat- ing by machinery for about a week, at the end t which time the spirit is drawn off and is found to have taken up the odor of the flowers in an intense degree. The spirit is,afterward frozen to facilitate the removal of a certain residue of fat, and after this it forms a perfectly clear and limpid "bimple ex- j tract," and is placed npon the labors - tory shelf. It is in the laboratory that the ma- terials are dilated and blended into ar- ticles for the toilet. It is here where the recipe book and still more a culti- vated appreciation of odor come into play. Scents are placed upon the mar- ket bearing the names of most of the odoriferous flowers known. Few ,nly of these are direct extracts from the flowers by which they are called. The vast majority are imitations—perfume pictures, in fact—of the originals. Vio- let scent is not wholly derived from the violet, but the floral extract has to be helped and re -enforced by odors more permanent, and derived from other sources. Of late years synthetic fra- grant oils have been obtained from that Protean substance, coal tar. The old fashioned "Ess Bouquet" is composed of eight ingredients in their appropriate proportions, the predomi- nant elements being musk and vanilla. "Jockey Club" makes a call upon nine sources of supply. musk, civet and or- ris being prominent. "Opopanax" has 12 ingredients, while "Parma violet" scent has 14. Wave Motor That Works. The ocean has been harnessed at last, and the mighty forces of the waves are under man's control. William and Ed- ward Armstrong, two Santa Clara me- chanics, have built a wave motor pump which works. All wave motors work in model, bat this invention is a complete one. A well six feet in diameter and 85 feet deep was dug at the edge of the bluff on the Cliff road, and connecting it with the sea was a tunnel 14 feet long and six feet high. The top oflhis channel was two feet below the lowest ' water mark. In this well an ordinary force pump with a six inch cylinder: was placed, and attached to it was a 1,000 pound float. The waves from the Pacific come rushing in through the ch;mnel and lift the heavy float. The raising. of the float works the piston of the pump, a valve underneath opens and the pump fills with water. The wave recedes, the float falls, the foot v, lye closes, and the piston descendi>ig under the weight of the float forces the water through the discharge pipe. At a recent trial the motor pomp threw straight into the air.—New York Jour; nal. Mosey Saving Car. A combination ballast and coal car, embodying the latest ideas in the direc- tion pf revenue saving in car equipme't, is now lying in the Illinois Central yards at Twelfth street in Chicago. In effect the new car is an ordinary ballast car, with a box top added. It will hold from 85,000 to 100,000 pounds of coal and will unload itsilf to the last ounce. The special feature of the combination car is its all round utility. The ordi- . nary ballast car can only be used during the summer months, while repair work is being done on the roads, and in the winter time is simply dead stock, pro- ducing no revenue. The new car can be used for ballasting pnrposes in the sum- mer and for coal carrying in the winter, when the coal movement is heaviest, earning money for the road all the time.—Baffalo Express. New Asteroid Named. Soon after Herr Witt discovered the asteroid which has been going for months under the peculiar name of "D. Q.," an American astronomer, Seth E. Chandler suggested that the little stranger be called "Pluto. " The discov- erer, however, has decided to name the tiny planet Eros, and the scientific world will endeavor to follow snit. The alphabetical title which the newly found asteroid has borne hitherto is so odd, though, that it is likely to stick for a long time.—Pittsburg Dispatch. An Irreplaceable Substance. There are many substances, both of vegetable and mineral origin, which would be quite irreplaceable, but per- haps the best example is india rubber. Leather is the only substance by which, as a rule, it can be replaced, but, al- though tougher, the animal product has not the elasticity and lightness nor the adaptability of the vegetable product and for many purposes is quite inad- missible. Of goods that cannot be man- ufactured without ipdia rubber in some form an almost endless list might be giv- en, including such things in common use as waterproof articles of dress, bicycle tires, surgical instruments of many kinds, billiard tables, lawn tennis balls, etc. If a substitute could be found, it would certainly be welcome, for india rubber has many drawbacks, such as its short life and tendency to become sticky in hot climates and brittle in cold. The bicyclist would replace it if he could, and so would the army sur- geon, who dreads the fe•lnre of this necessary, but fickle. substance in his medical stores.—Cincinn'.ti Enquirer. Electric Lights In Egypt. Lighting the pyramids of Egypt with electricity ane the installation of a 25,- 000 horsepower plant, to cost some $400, 000, is a plan now under ce -sider- ation by the British government, and an American company is reported as likely to receive the contract, sae s The Engineering News. As outlined, the plan includes the generation of plectric power at the Assonan falls, on the Nile river, and its transmission a distance of 100 miles through the cotton grow- ing districts, where, it is believed, the cheap power will permit the building of cotton factories. It is planned to use the power to illuminate the interior corridors of the pyramids and also oper- ate pumping machinery for irrigating large areas of desert along the Nile. Cairo (Egypt) Sphinx. Pneumatic Grain Elevators. A grain elevator operating by suction has been tried and exhibited in Great Britain. Air is exhausted through the pipes which take in the grain, and the grain- is delivered by the air draft through other pipes to any desired place. Several pipes may be introduced into a vessel's hold, and will remove the grain therefrom. An automatic scales is part of the system, so that the grain is weighed during the process of elevat- ing and delivery. Quite a complicated system of exhausting and delivery pipes were connected, and the plant worked to great perfection, delivering the grain to a number of places with the one in- stallation of pipes.—Mohtreal Star. The Color or Calclnm. Calcium is usually described asa yel- low metal, but Meissen has recently shown that when pure it is of a bril- liaut white, crystallizing in six sided figures, which are got by dissolving the metal in liquid sodium at a low red beet and removing the sodium by the nae of absolute alcohol. —London Globe. HASTINGS, MINN., SAT-URD:�Y. `MARCH 4, 1is)9. CARE OF A WATCH. How to Keep Year Timepiece In Good Order. A watch, even e of ver good quality, Rn al t y. can only give satisfaction if it is treat- ed according to its subtle construction. Its possessor must prevent it from fall- ing or beim knocked about. A jump fronra strikt car has more than once caused a good timepiece in the jumper's pocket to - change its rate. A watch mnet be kept in a clean place. Dust and small particles of the pocket lining gather continuously in the pockets, and even the best fitting case cannot pro- tect the movement from dirt finding its way to the wheels and pivots of the movement. Watch pockets should be turned inside out and cleaned at regu- lar intervals. A watch ought to be wound up regularly at about the same hour every day. The best time to do it is in the morning, for two reasons— first, because the hours of rising ars more regular than the hours of disrob- ing and retiring; second, because the full power of the mainspring is more likely to reduce to a minimum the ir- regularities caused by the movements of the owner during the day. When not carried in the pocket, a watch should always hang by its ring in the same position that it is worn. As a rule watches will run with a different rate when laid down. Only high grade watches are adjusted to position and will only show a few seconds' difference in 24 hours,/while common watches may be out of time several minutes in one night. Ladies often complain that their+ watches do not run regularly. This may be on account of smaller size and more difficult regulating, but the main rea- son for the faulty rate is to be found in the fact that ladies do not always carry their watches and consequently often forget to evind them. Never leave a hunting case watch open during a con- siderable length of time. A car fel ob- server will find in the morninga layer of dust on the crystal of a watch that has been open during the night. The i dust will find its way into the move- ; went. Watches should be wound up slowly and cautiously so es not to break the spring. Great ce should be taken with the small sizes, as their springs are very delicate, and the least pressure after the spring is all up will almost in- variablyy cause it to snap.—Popular Science. - The South In Commerce. Taken on the whole, the revelation which has been made will give a new light to most pooplo. se to our interest in those grave commercial questions which have hitherto been snppesed to belong to the north and west. That the state of South Carolina, for instance, should furnish immediately from her. own cotton mills over three-fourths of the entire cotton fabric production which leaves American ports for trans- pacific 'points is a wonderfnl exhibition of pluck and energy and but illustrates what may be done by the people of the varions southern states. The disclosure that it is not only in cotton, both raw and manufactured, that the south is leading onr exports, but that it bas an equal monopoly on the tobacco exports and is reaching out for the productions of wood and iron, shows that we are reaching a condition of diversity which must be productive of good in develop- ing the various resources of onr coun- try. Under the showing made the south has the most important interest in the development of the Pacific trade. - -Atlanta Constitution. Paris Nerve Cure Gowns. The latest thing in Paris fashions is the nerve cure toilet. Two fashionable physicians of Paris have recently been prescribing rest cure treatment. This is a modified form of the severe rest cures practiced elsewhere. Paris does everything artistically and comfortably. The patient is put to bed for several weeks. She is not allowed on any pre- text to leave her room, but no restric- tions are placed on her diet, reading or visitors. Naturally she is bored and needs her friends. They all visit her, and when they are not there she spends her time planning an invalid's toilet in which to receive them ; hence the nerve cure toilet, which is a deified bedgowte the apotheosis of the wrap- per, and costs all the way from $75 to $1,000. —Boston Globe. Color In War. The colors of military uniforms have been subjected to practical tests in Ger- many. It was found that light gray was the color first lost to sight. Then most unexpectedly came scarlet. Dark gray, bine and green followed in the order given. In target practice scarlet proved the most difficult to hit. The "thin red line of heroes" is thus prac- tically vindicated. It is found that un- der the volet tinge of the electric light green is the best color to escape detec- tion, waich gives a suggestion for naval men, whose ships are to be exposed to the searchlights of the enemy. —Mont- real Star. Perfectly Safe. "Many years ago," says Bishop Whipple Minnesota, "I was holding a service -(near an Indian village camp. My things were scattered about in the lodge, and when I was going out I asked the chief if it was safe to leave them there while I went to the village to hold a service. 'Yes.' he said, 'per- fectly safe. There is not a white man v: -thin 100 miles t" " He Knew.

Go ahead.—Lon- don Fun. FAR ABOVE THE EARTH. At an Altitude of Ten Miles Man Could Not Breathe. Above us there extends a vast unex- plored space far more interesting from a scientific point of view than the icy regions around the north pole. No one can reach the limit of the upper regions of the air and live unless he carries with hint air to breathe and fuel to warm him, for at the paltry distance of ten miles above the earth the air is too thin to support respiration, and the thermometer would register far below zero. It would be a region of perpetual snow on a peak of the earth if it should rise to such a height. A person in a balloon could not hear a friend in a neighboring balloon; even if they were near enough to Owlet) bands. There would be no medium for the propaga- tion of sound waves. There would, however, still be a medium for the con- duction of electricity—a medium in fact of groat conductibility—almost as good as a metal, and it is this medium at even a less height which Tesla pro- poses to use in his methods of trans- mitting power hundreds of miles through the air without wires. We live umber a blanket of air which protects us from the extreme cold -of outer space. This low temperature be- comes evident 14,000 or 15,000 feet above the surface of the earth and would reach a point far below zero at a height of ten miles. At this height we should no longer observe the twinkling of the stars, for this scintillation is due to the movements of our atmosphere, which at the height mentioned would be extremely rarefied. If one could photograph the sun's spectrum at this altitude, we could greatly extend our knowledge of the shortest wave lengths of light, for the atmosphere completely absorbs such wave lengths as are con- cerned in the X ray phenomena. That this absorption really takes place can be proved in a laboratory. The heat and light which we receive from the sun are thus greatly modified by this blanketing layer of air. The long waves of the energy from the sun are called heat waves. The intermedi- ate waves are termed light waves, and we receive these in full measure. The very short waves, however, are stopped by our atmc sphere and are transformed into—what ?—Forum. Printing by : Rays. Dr. Frederick'Strange Rolle contrib- utes to the current number of The Elec- trical Engineer a description of a new process of printing t X rays. The proc- oss overtxm es th(f tit •t +srl laberof- come position, re laces the time necessary to reproduce copies, and is of such a na- ture that the operator may be kept in complete ignorance of the contents of the document. It is not necessary that the matter to be reproduced should be in type characters. An opaque fluid ink is used for writ- ten documents and a semifluid mixture for type work. The copy is clamped down over the sensitized paper in blocks of 100 sheets, called a senso block, a d exposed to thee‘rays. Then the she t are developed -as needed. They may kept undeveloped as long as is wished. Dr. Rolle calculates that an exposure of ten seconds to the rays will print the sense block. He says that 20 *sense blocks may be exposed around each tube simultaneously. Allowing that each block contained 50 sensitive sheets only, this would make it possible to print 6,000 copies a minute for each tube used.—New York Commercial. City and Country Death Rate. "For centuries," says The Lancet, "the urban death rates greatly exceeded the rural rates, in many cases by from 20 to 50 per cent But during the last 40 years they have been approximating, although a gap far too wide still divides them. In 1896 the estimated population of England and Wales amounted to 80,- 717,835, 0,- 717,355, of whom 14, 883, 806 resided in 110 town districts, each containing more than 35,000 inhabitants, and 15,- 833,349 in country districts and towns and villages having a smaller popula- tion than 35,000. The death rate in the urban districts was 18 and in the rural districts 15.3 per 1,000, the difference being 2.7 per 1,000. The mean rates in the previous ten years were 19.7 and 17.2, a difference of 2.5. Let us com- pare these figures with the statistics of the decade ended in 1860. In that pe- riod the urban rate was 24.7 and the rural 19.9, the difference being 4.8." Are Smelling Salts Dangerous/ Professor Templesnel claims that the woman who wishes to retain the beauty of her face should forego the use of the smelling bottle, as its use encourages wrinkles. He says: Stand in front of a mirror and inhale the pungent odor from a smelling bottle, and notice the number of lines that form about the eyes, nose and month. Each sniff taken from the bottle causes the same screw- ing up of the face, and each time the unbecoming lines deepen. Remember, also, that it is an unpleasant experience which has called up ;these wrinkles. Those caused by laughing and talking are bad enongh, but the wrinkles formed by the use of smelling salts give an ab- solutely undesirable expression.—Povu- lar Science. Not Disposed to Delay Him.

A thoi'ghtful Virginian of mature ' years undertook yesterday to explain to me why southern people living in the north revert so often to the old fash- ioned cooking: "Tbe beauty of the southern family dinner lay in the sea- soning of the food to suit the taste of all the ereembers of the household, in- dividually and collectively. Old Aunt Dinah, or Annt Sarah, or Aunt Chloe, the cook, knew exactly from years of • practice what each of the children liked, what the father submitted to and what the mistress demanded, and she could please all. "Take. for example, a rice padding, one of the familiar stand bys. In the mixing of the ingredients Aunt Chloe would mutter to herself: 'Mars Willie 'e like plenty o' cinnamon. I'll jes put in 'nother little piece o' cinnamon for Mars Willie. Miss Tavy she like all- spice. I'll jet put in a little mo' all- spice for Miss Tavy. Mars Habersham 'e like plenty o' cloves. I mnst please Mars Habby wid a little mo' cloves. Miss Jtilia she fond o' nutmeg. Dar's a little mo' nutmeg for Miss Julia. Mar- ster 'e all right if dey's plenty o' rice, an ole missies eat all de egg an milk. Dey all fond o' reesins, an dey all likes sugar plenty- so dar dey goes an de puddin's read' for de nben.' "She has been stirring all the for dear life, and, having looked out for each member of the family, the dish is bound to be a success. "—New York Press. The Woman of It. The Philadelphia Reeelyd says: "Al- most the first thing a visitor does upon entering the room in which the Declara- tion of Independence was signed is to add his autograph to the vast collec- tion of more than 20 years. T4 custo- dian of ..the book a few days ago, in speaking of his experience, said: 'You wouldn't believe it, but we have 134 only two attempts to mutilate the regis- ter or to write anything in it except names and addresses, and on both of those occasions the culprits were wo- men. " 'There's another strange thing about the visitors,' he continued. 'Of the thousands who come here the only ones we have any trouble with are the women. We have a tape stretched across all those chairs,' he said, as he pointed to a long line of 'seats of the mightyA' as it were—chairs of the signers—'� prevent people from sitting in them. Well, one woman only yesterday want- ed ns to cut the tape for her, because she claimed she was a descendant of one of tho signers and thought she had a right to sit in hiss chair, and site went away mad when we wouldn't make an excep :ion in her case. ' " Old and New. An English newspaper contains an interesting parallel, discovered by a classical sc solar. First comes a transla- tion from the original Greek of Anti - pater of Tiie,ealonica: Once upon a time, when a ship was shattered at sea, two men fell at strife, figh i it; g for one plank. An tagoras struck away Pisistratus. One could not blame him; it was fir his life. But justice took cognizance. The other swam ashore; but him (Antagoras) a dogfish seized. Surely, the avenger of the fates: rests not, even in the watery deep. Then an incident recorded in the Lon- don Chronicle serves to translate the story into a modern event and to show how life repeats itself: ,� Two bluejackets, named Fridby and Painter, were capsized from a boat at Weymouth. After a struggle to get into the waterlogged boat Friday beat his comrade off, and Painter swam ashore. Friday got into the boat and was drown- ed. His Mustard Plaster. The mustard plaster is a harmless looking wafer, but it yaust be handled with as much circumspection as a woman. There was a newly married man once whose wife told him to put on a mustard plaster to cure a cold. He had faith in her, and put it on. Then ho went to sleep, being gifted with the power of sleeping under torments which is not given to one man in a thousand. The plaster seemed to him somewhat unreasonably hot, but he argued that the hotter it was the better. Besides, he had confidence in his wife. Next day he found a well developed blister on his chest, and his wife only laughed and said she had supposed any one would have sense enough to take off a plaster when it hart him. Though that was 11 months ago, the mark of the plaster is stili upon the man like a brandy and he now regards his wife's remedies with suspicion.—New York Commercial Ad- vertiser. Married by Blood. In the island of Banqu y there is a tribe of Dnsnns differing wf 1ely in lan- guage, religion, and customs free other tribes bearing that name. Marriages are performed in the forest in the pres- ence of two families. There is no pub- lic gathering or feast. The rite consists in transferring a' flrop of blood from a wooden knife in the calf of the man's leg to a similar cut in the woman's leg. After marriage the man takes the bride to her home, where he resides in future as a member of the family. Magyar Aristocrats. The Hungarian aristocracy has the largest estates of any nobility in En rope. The manner of livipg of these grands eeignenrs is strongly patriarchal. Their country chateaux are comforta- ble, but unpretentious, 9:d are lordly in nothing but the hosptiality of their owners. The stranger and the native are alike made welcome within the doors of these old manor houses and in- vited to sit down at table like friends of the family. If a stranger drives np to the en- trance door of a Hungarian chateau, immediately and before any questions are asked concerning the visitor's busi- ness, even before the master of the house has made his appearance, a legion of servants rash forward and carry the visitor's baggage to one of the half doz- en rooms always ready to receive greets, invited or otherwise. When the Hun- garians wish particularly to honor a guest, 15 or 20 courses are served at dinner, but; as the Magyars have in ev- erything the utmost respect for indi- vidual liberty no guest is ever pressed to eat or drink. "Yon are at home. Do as you would at home, " says the master of the house as he greets you on your arrival. Liv- ing as they do, away from court and court life, these proud Magyar aristo- crats ask nothing and expect nothing from the sovereign. and maintain in consequence their pride, dignity and independence of character.—Argonaut. • The Magician and the Kttig. There is a good story told of a ma- gician who has passed t eat divide. He was a world traveled p yer, and his wanderings set him npon one occa- sion in faraway New Zealand. It was arranged that he should give an exhibi- tion of mind reading before the king of the Maoris. After some parleying it was decided that the king himself should conceal the article which the magician was to discover. The mind reader left the room and, after a time, was brought back blind- folded, as is . the custom in such per- formances. After some time the ma- gician declared that the hidden article was in the king's month. His majesty shook his head savagely in the nega- tive. The magician insisted upon his point and demanded that the king's month be opened wide. The king re- fused. The magician insisted, and the ex- citement became very great until at last the dusky king reluctantly opened his jaws. The article was not there! The next instant, however, the king was taken with a violent fit of cough- ing. He had tried to swallow the lost article, a button, but could not, and was compelled to cough it up. The Maoris were uproarious with mirth. They did not know which to admire the more—the wisdom of the magician or the heroism of the king.— London Globe. Packages by Post. Practically all the packages that go through the New York postoffice are examined. Many persons seem utterly unable to resist the temptation to scrib- ble a message npon the back of a photo- graph or the lid of a box. A written dedication in a book or a written greet- ing, such as the conventional "Merry Christmas, " is allowable, but, with these exceptions, any written word makes a package liable to letter postage. The whole fly leaf of a book may be filled with a dedicatory note, but any other words, as, for instances; "See Page 4,' would cause the package to be classed as written matter. Another common error is to put seal- ing wax on the knot of the string around the package. Such a package is classed as "sealed against inspection" and must pay letter rates. The same rule applies to boxes that have their lids nailed or tacked on. The amount of money collected for insufficient postage is surprising. The average receipts in this department of the postoffice are $200 a day.—Leslie's Weekly. The Market In Cauls. We believe that there is still some market for cauls among sailors, who re- tain their belief in the efficacy of the membranes as a protection against ship- wreck and drowning. Notices of "Cants For Salb Within" were to be seen recent- ly in windows in the vicinity of the docks of both London and Liverpool, but it is some time since we have no- ticed an advertisement of a caul for sale in the daily press. It may be re- marked that the sale of cauls, so far from being a very ancient custom, is a comparatively modern innovation. The witchcraft of the middle ages declared against the caul retaining any virtue whatever if parted with by gift or sale to any but a member of the child's kin- dred.—London Lancet. Tbe Obvious.

We had come into the storeroom for torpedoes at the Brooklyn navy yard and the talk turned to high explosives "We have to keep a sharp watch on the gun cotton," said ono of the gun- ners who were with me, "to see that it does not get dry and does not get too acid. There is never a day goes by on a battleship but careful inspection is made of the stores of gun cotton. Dip in a piece of litmus paper and see if it comes out blue. If it does, all is well, but beware if it comes out red. That means acid, and acid means danger." "What do yon do when it comes out red?" I asked. "Nentranze the acid. Yon see, gun cotton deteriorates a lot in an acid solu- tion." "Do you always keep the gun cotton wet?" "Always. That's one of the first principles. When it's wet, it's safe; when it's dry, it isn't. Let it have all the water it will soak up, which is about 80 per cent." "Suppose you were to touch off some gun cotton here on the ground, what would happen ?" "Nothing at all if it wasn't confined. Yon might burn a ton of it like cord- wood in a bonfire. But pack it in a tin box, even a flimsy one, and you'll have fun. And, of course, the stronger the box the more fun you'll have.

The Paris of the pavement, gay. bright and exhilarating, is fairly fa- miliar to ns all, but undergrpnnd Paris, dark, solitary and damp, extending for miles, is comparatively unknown. A part of this area is devoted to the cata- tombs—a valley of dry bones, a garden of the dead; the rest a garden still more vast. provides for the wants, or rather the luxuries, of the living—it is devot- ed to mtfshroom culture. These subter- ranean gardens extend for some 20 miles under the gay capital and are from 20 feet to 160 Met beneath the surface. It is very difficult to obtain permis- sion to visit them, and even when per- mission is obtained it requires some courage to avail oneself of it, for the only entrance is a circular opening like the mouth of a well, out of which a long pole stands. Through this pole, fastened at the top only, at fairly long intervals, sticks are thrust. This prim- itive ladder, the base of which swings like a pendulum in the impenetrable darkness below, is the only means of reaching the caves. "Here, " again cried our guide, with a burst of cheer- - side are the catacombs—as full of bones as this place is of mushrooms." We smiled.

In London water boils practically at 212 degrees F. ; at Munich, in Ger- many, at 209% degrees; at the City of Mexico, in Mexico, at 200 degrees, and n the Himalayas, at an elevation of 8,000 feet above the level of the sea, at 180 degrees. Theee differences are caused by the varying pressure of the tmoaphere at these points. In London he whole weight of the air has to be vercome. In Mexico, 7,000 feet above he sea, there are 7,000 feet less of at' mosphere to be resisted; consequently ens heat is required, and boiling takes lace at a lower temperature.—Mon tar The author of "Pages From a Private Diary" gives some whimsical advertise- ments, as, for instance: "Respectable girls, about 18, wanted for bottling."

SATURDAY, MAR. 4th, 1899. SICOOND ECDITION. Supt. Levis proposes to abolish the preparatory departments of the nor- mal schools and the elementary. di- plomas, along the lines suggested by Irwin Shepard several years ago. The move is a good one. Under the present system these institutions are little more than high schools for the towns where they are located, sup- ported by the state, and doing pre- cisely the work of the high schools that are supported by local tax payers. Then if the proposed increase in the appropriation to high schools from $400 to $1,000 becomes a law our ed- ucational matters will be placed upon a broader basis. Ninety-eight per cent of the •col4imon school teachers come from the high schools, and it is no more than fair that they receive this recognition. There will be a great reduction in the cost of law supplements this year, owing to the action of the editorial association.. Prices are already quot- ed at one third of two years ago, when there .was no competition. Every publisher ho d stand by their committee, e f the sheets are offered for nothing elsewhere. If the judges of probate are to be prevented from drawing papers every one doing business before them will have to be his own lawyer.

It is true as Father Isaac Walto wro a in his Complete Angler, publis ed n�, arly three hundred and fift years ago, "angling is the contem plative man's recreation." "It is a art, ankan art worthy the knowledg and practice of a wise man." Eve fisherman knows that to be a good angler 'requires excellent judgmen great practice, rare skill, a full degre of endurance, and a lively imaginatio Perhaps the last[ named quality of lively imagination is not absolutel necessary, but it helps tremen dously when luck is bad and th fish don't bite, and it develop the poetic and esthetic features o the art, and gives that intense love o nature which every true angler shoul have. And were a moral argumen needed in favor of angling,.we coul cite)the good and wise men of all age from the fishers of G,,'tlilee down or might say up to the venerable Episco- pal bishops of Minnesota. I therefor conclude that fish are now, alway have been, and always should be o inestimable value -to man as a food pro duct and source of wealth; and tha angling is an art which affords th highest degree of out door recreation skill, and enjoyment for the indoo worker and the business and profes sional man of overworked brain. To have fish and fishing we mus have an abundance of water suitabl for the propagation and growth of fish and an ample supply of food for th fish. Without forests we cannot hav fish or fishing. But it may he asked what have th preservation of forests and reforesting to do with fish, fish food, and fishing? To those who have studied the results of forest destruction these statements need no explanation, but for the bene- fit of others I briefly refer to a few facts, well known to those who have given study and attention to the sub ject. _ Well wooded districts are subject to more rain than treeless regions; and forests are vast reservoirs of humidity, lessening the dryness of the surround- ing atmosphere, aiding the flow of springs and streams, and throw- ing off great volumes of humid air. Not only do they prevent freshets and overflowing banks, but they hold back the melting of the snow and ice in spring, and through the warm months of summer they feed the springs, streams, and lakes slowly with a constant quantity of pure and cold water, thereby mak- ing the supply of water more constant and reducing the temperature of the water in the streams and lakes, and givi�g the clear and cold water in which fish delight and thrive. ' Years ago Humboldt wrote: "In felling trees * * * men under all cli- mates prepare for subsequent genera- tions two calamities Al once, a lack of firewood, and a want to water." And John Crombie Brown, the great British authority on forestry, has summed up the subject in these few words: "In a well wooded- land the rain may be found to be diffused in showers over a gresepart of the year; while in a land otherwise under -simi- lar conditions, but devoid offorests and other vegetation, the rain falls at distant intervals -months or years apart -and falls in torrents. And again, in' the former case, the rainfall may be generally diffused over the whole atea; in the latter it may fall - in torrents here and there, leaving extensive regions un- visited by rain for long periods." There is no Substitute for forests as producers of rain, either by irrigation or by attempts to blow up the clouds and bring down Water by fireworks; and where irrigation is feasible it can- not continue long on any large scale after th rjzsts are gone. That the t of forestp rotection has produced terrible results and great disasters caused -by the inter- mittent and irregular action of long droughts and great floods and inunda- tions is evidenced by the history of Spain, Italy, France, Sicily, Chili, Peru, Mauritius, and many other countries, and especially by western sections of the United States. But these questions are also of the great- est importance to fishermen, and it is time that they fully appreciated the importance of forest 'protection as a means of yielding a constant supply of water, food, and shelter for fish; and well understood that the destruc- tion of the forests, more than any other factor, has reduced the supply of fish and fully explains why fishing has so rapidly declined in this state within the past few years; and fisher- men must understand that if forest destruction is not stopped the years of fishing in Minnesota are numbered.

Bury Hartness Nen Fed by Pneumat_ is Tube. There is room for controversy, says the Pittsburg News, as to whether the invention of a Philadelphia genius to supply hot lunches by pneumatic tube does or does not fill a long felt want. The question will probably have to be decided by individual preference. Wil- liam J. Kelley proceeds upon the as- sumption that men whose work lies far away from their homes would prefer a lunch prepared by the loving hands of wife or mother to one concocted by a restaurant chef- Cold lunches carried in the pocket to the office are unwhole- some. Accordingly Mr. Kelley has placed himself at the head of a concern which will shoot hot lunches made at homy through pneumatic tubes of a new de- sign. Such speed will bo used that the domestic lunches will not have time to get cold. This scheme possesses many advantages. When the system is per- fected, it could be extended over a wide stretch of territory, so as to embrace several cities. Thus a Pittsburg man who is in Harrisburg on business and doesn't like his hotel fare might have a hot beakfast or lunch fired to him direct from home. In response to a telegram he would not have long to wait for a consignment of biscuits like mother used to make or a slab of apple pie from the home factory. , But Mr. Kelley's scheme has its dis- advantages as well. The newly married young man, whose wife delights to dab- ble in culinary affairs, has no chance of escape. He may be putting on his coat in his office preparatory to going out for his noonday meal when the pneu- matic tube bell rings. Opening the slide, he takes out a package containing some choice cooking school samples, more fit for parlor bric-a-brac than human food. An accompanying note from his wife says the lunch is "intended for a sur- prise" and she hopes he'll "eat every bit of it." Unless he wishes to tell a lie when he gets home, he does so. Anoth- er danger is that the various lunches may get mixed up with each other while flying through the tube, and a 125 pound man get the lunch of a fellow weighing 250, and vice versa. But ev- ery new invention has its disadvan- tages, which are eradicated with use, and Mr. Kelley's is probably no excep- tion to the rule. Brains. Talking of brains reminds me that a young medical friend the other day showed me an abnormally large speci- men of the human thinking apparatus, carefully preserved, and which he pur- posed to send to Cornell university. He was not quite sure, however, whether he could not put the brains to some better purpose or present them to somebody more in need of brains. To print the list of prominent men which he rattled off at random between whom he might divide them equally and thus doable their share of wisdom would be libelous. "It is a pity to let brains' go a -beg- ging," said my friend, "but unfortu- nately that is often the way -of the world." When I suggested that he might pnt them up at auction and see how much they would fetch, he replied: "Very little, I'm afraid. Every one professes to admire brains, but loves his money better -besides, brains can be bought so chetap nowadays -but if I could get ,'hold bf a good< big lamp of gall-th is what always fetches the money iniis world." When my friend asked me if I could make any nye of them, I told him I would try. I did not take them from him. I merely did as I am told is occa- sionally done by the best regulated newspaper writers. I got a little story out of 'another fellow's brains. -New York Telegram. The Wicked Magpie.

He knew that it would have a very fine appearance among the ragged sticks of his domed nest, and so, as no one was looking, he drew it out from among the others just as gently as if he were playing spelicans, gave three hops and a flap of" his wings ache spoon and the girl's reputation esty went away over the fields togeer. Other damning instances there are of jackdaw and magpie, the red legged chough, and even, sad to say, the cler- ical gaited raven, being decoyed from the straight path of rectitude by the empty glitter of a gem. Unlike . sop's moralizing cock, who, having scratched up a necklace, apostrophized heaven of the uselessness of such a stroke of luck to him, these sable, solemn fowl seem to have a burglarious twist in their na- ture over which they have no control In proportion to their reverend aspect and grave demeanor in their serious snits of black is their eagerness to pur- loin at all costs any bit,of tawdry metal ware to give a dealt o: meretricious finery to their bare nests. -Longman's Magazine. n - increasing the Nee of Fault. A French agricultural journal gives the method by which a vine grower of Touraine is said to produce magnificent grapes. He dissolves two kilograms of sulphate of iron in 100 liters of water and sprinkles it on the leaves and bunches of the vines. The first applica- tion is made when the grapes are about one-third of their full size, the second about a month later and the third about 20 days before they are cut. It is claim- ed that corresponding results -are obtain- ed with pears, apples and cherries. The method is inexpensive, and the journal quoted recommends a trial, though it does not guarantee the success of the treatment in all cases. -London Times The leaf of a creeping moss found in the West Indies, known as the "life plant," is absolutely indestructible by any means except immersion in boiling water or the application of a redhot iron. It is the custom in Lima, Pern, to seep animals on the roofs of the houses. AA calf makes its first appearance on the roof and never descends until it oomes Ceram as beef.

Edwards, pastor of the English Baptist Church at Minersville, Pa., when suffering with rheumatism, was advised to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. He says: "A few applications of this liniment proved of great service to me. It subdued the inflammation and relieved the pain. Should any sufferer profit by giving Pain Balm a trial it will please me." For sale by J. 0. Sieben. A Boeings Men's4modation.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you haven a rumbling sounds or imperfect hearing, suit, and unless the inflammationnCan sbe oaken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, bearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

His cures are so numer- ous, and often of such a miraculous nature, that many writers have claimed that many of his cures were miracles. It is claimed by Dr. Rea's friends that he can diagnose any disease of any person without asking a question, and that he is the only living physician who can scientifically do so without making a mistake. The Louis- ville Commercial says: "In the treatment of, cancers, consumption, tumors, heart trouble, nervous troubles and catarrh, Dr. Rea has no equal in the world." The 'Evansville Courier says: "There are no experiments in Dr. Rea's practice; able as he is to tell any one his disease without asking a question, he is not likely to doctor his patients for the wrong disease." The Houston (Texas) Post says: "Dr. Rea is the highest authority en chronic diseases and enjoys the largest practice of any living physician. Our readers will see that this visit of Dr. Res will enable tie sick to consult this eminent specialist close to their homes." TEACHERS' EXAMINATIONS.

Come right np," maid a d Vi aloe Lanrow in answer to an impatient ring at bis telephone. Despite the closely drawn shades the August sunshine was filtering into the office, and the light breeze from Lake Michigan scarcely stirred -the oppressive atmosphere. The reading of the mann- scripts which the assistant. editor had passed on to him for final approval or rejection had made eyes and brain alike weary, and his friend's visit was a wel- come distraction. "Well, who is the winner of the first prize?" Scott inquired cheerily. "A man named Edwards of Macon. There's a story I like better.' but it is out of the9 asst! on. "Sounds contradictory?" "Yet it isn't. That which takes one's fancy isn't by any means always the best from at literary standpoint. This one is entitled 'An Incident at Luxor.' "Then I ought to be a judge of its Lerit. I spent three months at Luxor." "It is a distinctly amateurish■ at- tempt, a sketch rather than a story, quite ineligible for publication as it stands, yet much more convincing than any of the prize stories. The writer h evidently been to Egypt and isnot lac ing in observation. There are no wil flights of fancy borrowed from trave ers' journals. It is simply a plain stat ment of facts, every word bearing th impress of troth. Theinveutive facult is altogether absent." "You make me quite curious. Le me read it," Scott said, smiling. "No; you have not my patience Your experience has been confined t oondensed newspaper paragraphs. Yo would probably lose sight of the stor in the crudeness of its setting. I'll giv you a brief outline of it if you like." "The heroine, if ebe may be so styled hi a young EngliEh girl, making a tri to Egypt under the chaperonage of som i .acquainCaue,s. The bero is a journalis —a gredua a of Hary re—t 1 gyptiA correspondent of a Boston paper. Th narrative colemences at the point where the Tewfikieh company's steamer Mem phis arrives at Luxor and is moored a the foot of the steps which lead into the hotel grounds. "Our heroine enters the . writing room, the only other occupant of which is the journalist. He bas already been two months at Luxor, and being ,.a so- ciable fellow is getting more than a lit- tle tired of the intense beat and his own company, so the dainty appar ion in the cool white gown is a welcome in- truder upon his solitude." Scott looked up, suddenly attentive. "He knows enough of English pecul- iarities to be sure she will expect him to remain as blanttii-y unconscious of her presence as she appears to be of bis, but 'copy,' which a judicious interview of this sedate maiden may provide, has been scarce with him recently, and his profeesignal instilect will( not permit W' him to neglect snob a goldeportu- nity. • Accordingly he opens alas conver- sation by telling her bow inepossible it would be 'for a countrywoman of his own to git still in a rocking chair." Scott leaned forward, his eyes gleam- ing curiously. "Victor, what is the author's name?" "Cartrigbt—Anice Cartright!" "Ah I" Lanrow looked up inquiringly. "Do you happen to know her?" "I once knew somebody of that name, but she did not live in this country, and she was not literary. Go on." ("American frankness gradually over- coming English reserve, the two young people become friendly. They discover that in many things their tastes are sine - liar, and daring the steamer's three days' stay at Luxor their friendship grows ape e. Together they wander among the )wins of the temple of Luxor, sketch in the shadows of Karnak's pil- Tare, and leach without misgiving in the tomb of Seti L In fact, it is a case of love at first sight. Is it necessary to add that wl6en the Memphis leaves for Afisouan our impetuous compatriot has asked his three days' acquaintance to marry him? Do I make yon tired, � Scott a " for Scott's elbows were resting on his knees and his head on his hands. "No; I am interested. Of course, the girl says 'Yes,' and they live happy ever after?" . - "You forget she is English. She promises ti give him her answer when she returns with her party from the cataract." 1 "Well?" Scott sat upright again, a strange ex- pectancy in his voice. "The steamer on its home journey arrives at Luxor in the early morning. The river is falling rapidly, and, to avoid running on to sand banks and con- sequent delays, the manager of the Memphis decides to sacrifice the intend - ad extra two days' stay at Luxor and proceed direct to Cairo. The hotel Vie. !tors are not astir, with the exception of a doctor—the journalist's traveling conation—and to him the girl con- fides (letter for her suitor, accepting him, and giving him her address in Cairo.

Colonel Alexander Gardner, in his volume entitled "Soldier and Trabeler, " says that during a stay in Asia be was once suspected of being a Russian spy. This was an accusation of great con- sequence, es Russians were very unpop- ular at the time, but the traveler was prostrate with fever and almost indif- ferent as to what might befall him. Application was made to the khan of Shiva, and in a great state of anxiety as to the traveler's identity he deputed three learned ,men who had traveled over half the world to examine him. This was the abstruse and terrific ex- amination with which they were satis- fied: "What ale you?" asked they. "An American," was the answer. Still they were suspicions, and one man, a very enlightened scholar, offered as a crowning test this deep and con- clusive geographical question: "Could you go by land from America to England?" "No," was the prompt reply, and the questioner, as much delighted at his own superior learning as at the trav- eler's integrity, declared that lie was convinced. This was an American in- deed.

True eeeing, observing, says Joseph Jastrow in The Popular Science Month- ly, Is a double process, partly cbjectivf or ontward—the thing seen and the re• tjpa—and partly subjective or inward —the picture mysteriously transferred Fla/ to lite mind's representative, the brain and there received and affiliated witl other images. - Ilinstrations of such seeing "with the, mind's eye" are not far to sleek. Wher- evelt the beauties and conformations of natural scenery invite the eye of man does be discover familiar forms and faces. The forces of nature have rough hewn the rocks, but the human eye de- tects and often creates the resemblances. A much larger class of ambiguous diagrams consists of those which repre- sent by simple outlines familiar geo- metrical forms or objects. If we view outlines only, without shading or perspective or anything to definitely suggest what is foreground and what background, it becomes possi- ble for the mind to supply these details and see foreground as background and vice versa. A A goad example of this is : een in Fig. 1. which represents 1. -Aline a tr'nn- Pd ` .. ceted pyramid with a square base. Is the smaller square nearer to yon, and are the sides of the pyramids sloping away from you toward elle larger square in the rear? Or are you looking into the hollow of a truncated pyramid with the smaller . square in the back- ground? Or is it now one and now the other, according as you decide to see it? Here (Fig. 2) is a skeleton box which you may conceive as made of wire out- lining the sides. Now the front or side nearest to me seems directed downward and fo the left; again. it has shifted its position and is no Longer the front, and the sides Which appear to be the front seem directed upward and to the right. The presence of the diagonal line makes the change more striking. In one posi- tion it runs from the left hand rear up- per corner to the right hand front • low- er corner, while in the other it con cts the left hand front upper corner ith the right hand rear lower corner. Fig, 3 will probably seem at first glimpse to be the view of a flight of steles which one is abont to ascend from right to left. Imagine it, however, to be a view of the ander side of a series of steps, the view representing tlpe etrncture of overhanging solid mason - work seen from underneath. At first it may be difficult to see it thus, because the view of • steps which we are abont to mount is a more nat- ural and frequent experience than the other, lint by staring at it with the in- tention of seeing it differently the transition will come, and often quite unexpectedly. 1 The` blocks in Fig. 4 are subject to 1 marked fluctuation. Now the black sur- 1/Alto U,.74////i faces represent the bottom of the blocks, all pointing downward and to the left, and now the black surfaces have changed and have become the tops pointing upward and to the right. For some the changes come at will, for athers they seem to come unexpectedly, but all are aided by anticipating men- tally the nature of the transformation. The effect here is quite striking, the blocks seeming almost animated and moving throagb space. Guilty Conscience.

An Engr":h literary man who visited this country to lecture frankly declared that he tame, not expecting to find ac- curate scholarship among Americans, especially ou purely literary subjects, adding affably: "Yon have been too busy and useful a nation in practical matters to give Much time to the arts and graces of learning." During the dinner at which he made this remark he criticised Shakespeare, sharply declaring that his metaphors often were absurd. "As, for example," lt,° said, " 'Sleep that knits up the rav- eled sleeve of care.' How ridiculous to figure sleep as knitting up a torn sleeve of a coat l" A young American sitting near him said modestly: "I think the word is not sleeve, but sleeve, the thin fluff of a damaged web. It is a technical ex- pression among weavers." "In the States probably 1" retorted the critic irritably. "Shakespeare never could have heard it. He meant sleeve." "I believe," persisted the American gently, "the word is printed cleave in all the old editions. It is not an Ameri- can word, but has been used for cen- turies by weavers in Scotland and the north of England: " The visitor frowned and then with English frankness said, laughing: "Thank yon; I was mistaken. Perhaps I am mistaken about other things and will be corrected before I leave ypur shores. "—Youth's Companion. The Test of Perseverance. Many girls are employed at the West- ern Union Telegraph company's main office in filing dispatches and other work requiring no great skill. Now, although they get only the current wages of workers in such employments, there are always many applicants for every vacancy. In view of this fact the company has adopted an interesting method of dealing with applications. Every girl applying is questioned as to her age, education and residence. Fur- thermore, her height is taken. The facts as to the applicant are thea filed for fu- ture reference, and she is 'advised in case she is really anxious for a place to return at the end of four months should she not hear from the company Before that time. The reason for this advice is that the list of applications is de- stroyed every four months. Many applicants never come a second time. Some, however, come a second, a third or eveh a fourth time, and, al- though the officers of the company hold out no special hope to any applicant, they do say that here, as elsewhere, perseverance often succeeds. The re- quirement that the applicant shall ap- peal in person each time is an ingen- ious means of weeding out those appli- cants that lack the perseverance, which, other things being equal, is likely to make a girl more useful to the com- pany than a girl with less of that qual- ity.—New :ore Sun. Language Study. Broadly speaking, there are two methods which are used for the teach- ing of a language—that of the mother and that of the grammarian. The child learns its own or mother tongue from the mother. It learns a foreign tongue from a teacher, whose highest ambition is to be a grammarian. Does the child learn better from the mother or from the grammarian? Without doubt, from the mother, according to t e mother method. If thismnst is tae, we a the exam- ple of the mother or of grammarian when we are to begin t e teachi►g of a foreign language? Is here any reason why a foreign tongue should be other- wise taught than the mother tongue? Is it not at least worth the trouble to try the method of the mother, when it is every day demonstrated that pupils who have had five, six, seven years of teach- ing are unable, on leaving school, so much as to' understand when the lan- guage they have been studying is used in conversation ?—Charlotte Taylor in Popular Science Monthly. Curiosities of Onr Calendar. There are some curious facts about our calendar. No century can begin on Wednesday, Friday or Sunday. The same calendars can be used every 2e years. October always begins on the same day of the week as January, April as July, September as December. Feb- ruary, March and November begin on the same days. May, June and August always begin oaf different days from each other and every other month in the year. The first and last days of the year are always the same. These rules do not apply to leap year, when com- parison is made between days before and after Feb. 29.

IEffect of an “Al.” A cockney whose name was Ogton, which be, following the usage of his class, pronounced Hogtown, settled at the beginning of the present century in the city of New York, where he did business as a trader. His prefixing of ' the h was the occasion of a postoffice ' story which Dunlap, the author of the "History of the Arts of Design," tells. Before the clerks of the postoffice knew Ogton he called day after day to inquire if there were "any lettere for John Hogtown." "None, sir." was the invariable an- swer. "Very strange," said he, feeling un- easy about the goods be had ordered from England and the bills of exchange he had remitted. One day after the usual question, "Any letters for John -Hogtown?" his eye, following the clerk, noticed theft he was looking among the letters begin- 1 ning with H. "'Olio," cried he, "what are you looking there for? I said John Hog - town." "I know it, sir, and I am looking for John Hogtown, and there's nothing for you.'' "Nay, nay 1" shouted John.

Professor Alexander Graham Bell is reported to have explained in a lecture how he came to invent the telephone as follows: "My father invented a symbol by which deaf mutes could converse, and finally I invented an apparatus by which the vibrations of speech could be seen, and it turned out to be a tele- phone. It occurred to me to make a machine that would enable one to hear vibra ions. I went to an aurist, and he adv! d me to take the human ear as m oriel H e supplied y ed m e with P a dead P man's ear, and with this ear I experi- mented, and upon applying the appa- ratus I found that the dead man's ear wrote down the via ' s. "I arrived at the conclusion that if I could make iron vibrate on a dead man's ear I could make au instrument more delicate which would cause those vibrations to be heard and understood. I thought if I placed a delicate piece of steel ev r an electric magnet I could get a v i'... *ion, and thus the telephone was ct,:aplete d. "Th,; telephone arose from my at- tempts to teach the deaf to speak. It arose from my knowledge, not 'of elec- tricity, but us a teacher of the deaf. Had I been an electrician I would not have attempted it. "—Electrical World. The Drawback. Beardman was a writer of plays, ulti- mately fairly well known in his day. For nearly 20 years he struggled and fought his way along without meeting with any very pronounced success, each play in turn proving more or less of a failure. At last, h6wever, he produced a play that really caught the public taste. He and the famous Sheridan happened to be present together on the opening night. All went well Success followed success, and applause greeted end ended each scene. At the end of the se"ond act Beardman's elation got the le 1; r of his discretion, and, leaning over toward Sheridan—as usual, too witty to be merely sympathetic—he ex- claimed: "Sheridan, Sheridan, it's going to be a success, a complete success!" "Ah, yes," murmured Sheridan, with exquisite compassion in his voice, "too bad, too bad!" "Too bad ?" stammered his friend, completely taken off his guard. "Why too bad that it should prove a success?" "Because now," retorted Sheridan, "it'll take you another 20 years to con- vince any one you wrote it. "—Town Topics. Vitality of Snails. The snail is blessed with great povyers of vitality. A case is recorded of an Egyptian desert snail which came to life upon being immersed in warm wa- ter after having passed four years glued to a card in the English museum. Some species, in the collection of a certain naturalist, revived after they had ai?pa- rently been dead for 15 years; and snails, having been frozen for weeks in solid blocks of ice, have recovered upon being thawed out. The eggs are as hard to destroy as the snail itself. They seem perfectly indifferent to freezing and have been known to prove productive after having been shriveled up in an oven to the semblance of grains of sand. Diamond Saws. The use of the diamond saw for cut- ting stone is facilitating the erection of the buildings for the Paris exhibition - The diamonds which form the cutting teeth of the saw are common crystals, fixed in a steel disk over six feet in di- ameter, which is mounted on a spindle and revolved by steam power, like all ordinary circular saw. For sawing hard stones there are 200 diamonds in the cutting edge, and the speed 18 300 turns a minute. It advances into the stone about a foot in that time. For soft stones the teeth are of steel, with dia- monds at intervals of every five teeth, and at a speed of 12 tarns a minute the saw adrances about a yard in that time. —Answers. The Sickje of the Sphinx. The oldest piece of wrought iron In existence is believed to be a roughly fashioned sickle blade found by Belzoni in Kunnas, near Thebes. It was im- bedded in mortar under the base of the phinx, and on that account is known as "the sickle of the sphinx." It is now in the British museum and is be- ieved to be nearly 4,000,ayears old Too Mach Interest.

Wood Tar. It is curious to note that wood tar is I prepared just as it was in the fourth century B. C. A bank is chosen and a hole dug, into which the wood is placed, covered with turf. ,A fire is lighted un- derneath, and the tar slowly drips into the barrels placed to receive it. Betrayed.

Austrians are very methodical in many things, and they take no chances with their barbers. The Barbers' and Wigmakers' union of Vienna sees to it that only competent persons are ad- mitted to practice. Berbers must, of coarse, have a thorough knowledge of the practical side of the subject, and they are questioned as to keeping razors, brnshes, etc., clean, and the general idea of antiseptics must be well under- stood by them. When the barbeap- pear ppear before the committee. they' have their razors dolled on a pine plank, and they must then sharpen them and pro. ceed to shave a subject. These subjects a%e recruited from the poor and from among those who aro fond of getting something for nothing. If the apprentice performs his work to the satisfaction of the judges. a certifi- cate is issned to him, and he lnust serve as an apprentice for two years before he can open a shop of his own. Provision is also made for women barbers who de- sire to carryon the business of ' their husbands.o do this the women have to be enroll as apprentioes for three years. and they must exhibit a great proficiency before they are allowed to open an establishment of their own. The barber business in Austria is not particularly lucrative, as one can be shaved for 5 cents and have one's hair cut for about 8 cents.—Scientific Amer- ican How Queen Bess Dined. The setting out of the dinner of Queen Elizabeth was a ceremonious ftt ction. First came a gentleman with a r&d, followed by a gentleman carrying a tablecloth, which, after they had knelt reverently three times, was spread upon the table. Then came two others, one with a rod, the other with a salt- cellar. a plate and bread. They knelt three times, placed the things on the table, knelt again and retired. Next came a lady in waiting, followed by a second. The first lady, dressed in white, after kneeling three times, approached the table and solemnly rubbed the plates with the salt. Then entered 24 yeomen of the guard, clad in scarlet, and each carrying a dish of gold. These dishes were placed upon the table While the lady taster gave to 'each of the guards a taste from the dish he had brought in, for fear of possible poison. These guards were selected from the tallest and stoutest men in all Eng- land. At the close of this ceremony a number of unmarried ladies appeared and with great- solemnity lifted the various dishes and carried them to the queen in her private apartments.. The queaii''dined and supped alone; with few atteudants, and it was seldom that any one was admitted at this time and then only at the intercession of some one in power. She Got the Money. In Berlin they tell a pretty story about Fran Blumenthal, the popular wife of the witty playwr ght and director of the Lessing theater. Herr Blumenthal, it appears, had great misgivings regard- ing the success of his new piece, "Zum Weissen Roesse." One day, when he was nearly ready to throw the manu- script aside. histwife, who did not share 'his view, said to him: "If I bad only 20 marks ($5) --for every 1,000 it will bring you I should be quite content." "All right: you shall have them." said Herr Blumenthal. "Zum Weissen Roesse" (White Horse Inn) met with an immense success. Ev- ery night the frau director—for in Ger- many the wife shares in her husband's titles if not in his tin—went to the cashier and levied -en her 20 marks per 1,000. On one occasion, after the piece had been running some months, bad weather caused a falling off in the re- ceipts below the $1,000 marks, and con- sequently Fran 'Blumenthal was not en- titled to her "tantieme" of 20 marks. "How much have you taken?" she asked the cashier. - "Only 997 marks," was the reply. "Well. g;ve me a seat at 3 marks, then," said Fran Blumenthal, laying down the coin. "Now yon have 1,000 marks, give me my 20." She got them. Both Helped. Zimmerman. the eminent physician, was sent from Hanover to attend Fred- erick.the Great in his last illness. One day the king said to him, "Yon have, I presume, sir, helped many a man into another world ?" This was rather a bitter pill for the doctor, but the dose he gave the king in retain was a judicious mixture of truth and flattery: "Not so many as your majesty, nor with so muck honor to myself." Where the Cenral Are Buried. It is not generally known that the remains of all the czars of Russia since Peter the Great lie in a memorial chapel built on one of the islandsof the Neva. All the cenotaphs are exactly alike, each being a block of white marble, without any decoration whatever. The only distinction by which one is marked is the name of the deceased emperor. Men Who Wear Corsets. More men wear corset$ than is gener- ally believed. A certain London corset maker states that he makes hundreds every year and recently had in hand one pair of pink satin decor ted with flower -de -lute and another of bile green 1 satin adorned with lotus flowers, one of 1 these being for an officer in India. Sorry He Asked. Swell—Why is it that every clown has such a stupid face? Is he obliged to look stupid? Clown—Certainly. If I had your face, my salary would be doubled at once. —Fun.

It is not a mooted gneetion in Persia whether women dress for the eyes of men or those of women, as there only women see women, at parties. In her book, "Through Persia on a Sidesad- dle," Miss Sykes, writing of the women of Teheran, the capital of Persia, con- fesses that even Mohammedan isolation does not prov ant women from being envious of other women, if they are dressed better than themselves. She writes: I was told that many of the fine ladies would give large sums in the European shops of Teheran for any brocade of silk which struck their fancy and would wear it at the next party to which they invited their friends, flaunting the new toilet ostentatiously before them to fire their jealousy. Usually, however, one of the guests would pay bee hostess out by buying some more of the same material and having it made up for one of her slave women. She then would invite a large company to tea, and the cups would be handed round by a negress adorned in the rich silks with which the former hostels arrayed. L ter on the slave would dance before the guests. The great lady, who had been invited to be mortified, would be both dappointed and humiliated. The lady who had given the party would be pleased at vexing the rival. Food In Siberia. So hard is food frozen in Siberia dur- ing the winter that carcasses of sheep can only be divided by ax and saw. Fish caught through holes in the ice freeze while they jump. Eggs are as hard as flints. I have carried them in a sack over my horse's back. The rivers of Siberia abound with ex- cellent fish, among these a beautiful kind of grayling and the incomparable sterlet. quite the most . delicious fish I know. While descending the Yenisei we caught a gigantic sturgeon, yield- ing many poods of coarse black caviare, a dainty highly esteemed. Sturgeon cutlets, with wild chervil for flavoring, are delicious. Quails and dabchicks are a favorite broil for second breakfast. The bread I found dark, hard and sour, but sustaining. A great deal of vodki is drank, but it is both perilous and nauseous on account of the fusel oil it contains. Kwass in summer time is re- freshingly acid, and, drunk from a small oaken'bowl, it is better than cider. Tea is taken at every meal, but is very weak. Brick tea is detestable. The stamped bricks are need as money till they are worn and dirty. They are then made into a kind of broth. All eortn of abominations are flung into it. The Khirgis have an insatiable appetite for brew "thick and slab." impossible to western palates. Helen Irs-ing's Tragic Death. The tragic story of the beautiful and talented Scottish woman, Helen Irving, is not, perhaps, well known, although it has been celebrated in Bong. She had been for some time courted by two gen- tlemen whose names were Bell and Fleeming. Bell told the girl that if he evertfound her in Fleeming's company he would kill him. She, however, had a strong regard for Fleeming, and one day, while walking along the romantic banks of the Kirtle, she observed his rival on the other side of the river among the bushes. Conscious of, the danger her lover was in, she passed between him and his enemy, who, firing, shot her dead. Fleeming crossed the river and killed the coward. A heap of stones was raised on the place where the brave woman fell, and she was buried in the near churchyard. Fleeming, overwhelmed with love and ,grief. went abroad, but soon returned and, stretching himself on her grave, expired. He was buried by her side. A Lucky Hairdresser. The old saying that a man may be a hero to every one but his valet is called to mind by an article in The Illustrated London News on "Famous Masters of the Tonsorial Art," in which stories are told of Duplan, the hairdresser to Napo- leon. This astute man made himself so indispensable to the unfortunate Jose- phine and became so intimately ac- quainted with the emperor's affairs that he was retained in the service of the imperial+ family when Josephine was superseded by Marie Louise. He cared for the hair of both the emperor and empress, being paid 4.000 francs a year for service to the former and 6,000 for arranging the coiffures of the latter. Ultimately he was the recipient of about 40,000 francs a year, his demands being constantly increased because of Napoleon's restriction in refusing to al- low the tonsorial artist to treat the hair of any other customer. Ant Trees. Next to the chestnuts, the pecans are probably the greatest of American nuts that are raised and used quite univer- sally in most of the states of the Union. Primarily found growing chiefly in the states south of New York, their line culture bas been gradually extended to all parts of the north. They produce larger orope, however, in the south. In Illinois a dative pecan tree is found which is said to be as hardy as the ap- ple and fully as prolific of nuts as the southern trees. Even in Miobigan pecan trees are now found.—New York Sun. 'torpedo Boats. The average distance of discovery of a torpedo boat by the searchlight from a battleship has been calculated to be 781 yards and the greatest distance 2,000 yards. Thus, taking the distance at which the torpedo can be fired with effect at 500 yards it will be generally found that a torpedo boat will have to cross about 300 yards under fire from the ship she is attacking, and it will take the little craft about half a minute to do this. i Prevention of Disease. Mr. Miles Menander Dawson, a con- sulting actuary and author of standard works on life insurance, says in an in- terview: "From one-fifth to one-half of the death that occur in youth and middle age ould be prevented by a decent regard for sanitary conditions and by common action of society for the benefit of all. It is not enough that a men should take care of himself. Dis- ease is communicable, and protecting man against it is a social function. "Fully one-fifth of the total number of deaths are caused by zymotic dis- eases which are as purely accidental as falling and breaking a leg. And one- fonrth of the deaths in addition are from digestive and respiratory diseases, almost all of which are preventable. About 17 per cent of the deaths among insured lives is from consumption and 5 per cent from nervous diseases, all of which are now believed to be prevent- able. "This means that fully one-half of the deaths among young and middle aged persons could be prevented and the proportion could no doubt be great- ly increased if parents paid a proper re- spect to the laws of heredity. It would certainly be a most important achieve- ment for the human race if united ac- tion could . be taken to secure that a larger proportion of persons would at- tain old age than at presnt. "—Ainslee's Magazine, He Did Not Have It. William Lightfoot Visscher in The Woman's Home Con.panion tells this characteristic story of the Hon. Isaac Parker, famous as the terrible judge at Fort Smith, Ark.. who probably sen- tenced more men to be executed than any other judge that ever lived. This was not, however, because he was so unrelentingly severe, but because he had the hardest and most numerous lot of criminals to deal with that ever came within the jurisdiction of such an official. One day when there was an unusually large batch of culprits to be sentenced the judge looked compassion- ately over his spectacles at one young scamp and said "In consideration of the youth and inexperience of this prisoner I shall let him off with a fine of $50"— Before the judge had done speaking the very fresh young man coolly stretch- ed his right leg and ran his hand into his trousers' pocket on the side, remark- ing nonchalantly as he did so: "That's all hunky, judge. I've got that much right here in my jeans." "And one year in the penitentiary," continued the judge. Then, looking over at the convict in a quizzical sort of way, he added, "Do yon happen to have that in your jeans?" Queer Thing. Chance. "I was at Monte Carlo last year, " said a New York turfman, "and was amused watching the gamblers in the casino playing systems. If red would win. say. four times hand running, everybody would double up on black. The more times one color showed in succession the bigger were the bets on the other, which was mathematically an error, although you couldn't con- vince a gambler of it. Once while I was there red won 12 times, and over 40,- 000 francs were staked on black. One lone player had the nerve to put 50 francs on red. It won, and he let the bet lay, and it won again. Then every- body got a sudden idea it would win once more, and it was played to the limit. That itime black showed." "Did yon ever hear about rens pf color?" asked somebody.

Mme. ` Modjeska and her company were playing one winter in the extreme north, much to the discomfort of Count Bozenta, the Polish star's husband, who hates thq chilly northern climate. But at that time the show business was at a very low ebb in the south. One particularly cold day Mme. Modjeeka found the count shivering from head to foot in spite of the steam heat in the hotel. "Oh, my dear, my dear!" he im- plored. "Let us go south for the rest of the season. This climate will kill us" "But, my dear," replied madame, "the south is dead." "Yes," said the count, "but she is such a be-autiful corpse." Time to Wake. Judge Wheaton A. Gray was hearing a criminal case in Fresno. and on a warm day, at the end of a long har- angue by the prosecuting counsel, he noticed one of the jurymen asleep. As soon as the argument was completed, the judge addressed the jury in this pe- culiar manner: "Gentlemen of the ju- ry, the prosecuting attorney has com- pleted his argument. Wake up and lis- ten to the instructions of the court. "— Argonaut A New One or None. Mrs. Prondfoot—Yes, Mrs. Malaprop, that'e an heirloom. It's been in Mr. Proudfoot's family over 100 years.

"Considering the investment, train- ed doge are one of the most proflt'tble attractions in the vaudeville line," said an old time showman, here with one of the current theatrical companies. "I suppose there are at least 12 or 16 troupes of them scattered over the country," he continued, "and the good ones easily average a couple of hundred a week and expenses. As there are no salaries to pay for the dogs and no hotel bills for anybody except the proprietor and one keeper thereturns are rather handsome. Nowadays they have the business down to such a fine point that the sudden death of any of the animals can be readily remedied by telegraph- ing to New York. where several men make a specialty of keeping standard trick dogs in stock. "A dog troupe usually consists of five performers, one of which is a star. The star probably costs $150 and the others about $50 apiece. Mongrels of no intrinsic worth are generally select- ed for training purposes, because they learn as quickly as the thoroughbreds and if anything happens to them the loss is so much lighter. There is a standard series of tricks which they are taught to do, so that one can easily re- place another, and a little ingenuity on the part of the showman supplies the variety to the programme.

In an interesting article on the sub- ject of chains an English writer points to the fact that notwithstanding the frequent mention of chain in the Bible the article is comparatively new. The same author says: "Some authorities give the Britons credit for originating the cable chain because Julius Caesar is recorded as having been unable to cut the tables of the Gaul's vessels, 'as they were made of iron.' This may have been a chain in the present acceptation of the term, but it is doubtful. because the first pat- ent for chainniaking was obtained in England in 1634 by a blacksmith named Philip White. The patent was for 14 years. and in consideration of it White had to pay £5 in lawful money yearly 'at the Exchequer, Westminster. att the Feast of the Blessed Virgyn and Saint Michell the Archangel) by even and enal process.' "His patent is described as follows 'A way for the wearing of shipps with iron chaynes by finding out the true heating (pre)pareing and tempering of Iyron for that (pur)poae and that he hath nowe attayned to the true vse of the said chaynes and that the same wilbe for the great saveing of cordage and safety of shippers and will redound to good of our Comon Wealth.' " Early French theaters. The French theater owes its origin to the religions exhibitions given by the pilgrims on their return from Palestine. At these exhibitions the pilgrims gave an account of the Holy Land and re- cited their own adventures. They were afterward imitated by those who had never been to the Holy Land. To these succeeded dramatic representations of subjects taken from the new text, which. being forbidden by the provost of Paris, the priests of France invited the king to be present at an exhibition to prove that they were calculated to excite religions feelings. The building in which those plays were produced was divided into three scaffoldings—the highest represented paradise, the second the world and the lowest, which was in the form of a dragon's head, represented hell. The only entrance to the two upper scaffold- ings was through the dragon's head. The actors never left the stage, even to change their dress, and the plays were so long as to require several days for their completion. At the close of each evening the audience was invited to return until the whole were finished. sometimes 40 nights. The Power of a Cyclone. Careful estimates of the force of a cyclone and the energy required to keep a full fledged hurricane in active opera- tion reveal the presence of a power that makes ,the mightiest efforts of man appear as nothing in comparison. A force folly equal to 478,000,000 horsepower was estimated as develop' in a West Indian cyclone. This is abou. 15 times the power that is creatable by all the means within the range of man's capabilities during the same time. Were steam, water, windmills and the strength of all men and all animals combined they could not at all approach the tremendous force exerted by this terrible storm. A Barnum Surprise. A good. story of the late George Au- gustus Sala and Barnum is told. It was on the occasion of the last visit of the famous showman to England, when a public dinner was tendered to Mr. Bar- num. Mr. Sala presided. In the recep- tion room, where all were waiting to welcome the guest of the evening, Mr. Barnum came in. beaming, and, shak- tag hands with the chairman, said: "This is indeed a surprise to me." "Did yon hear that?" Mr. Sala whis- pered. "Why, he arranged for the din- ner himself. A Literary Note,. "Your majesty," said the prime minister, "this is the page who has been remiss in his duty." "Aha!" exclaimed the king. "We'll have to bring him to book." "He I He 1" laughed the page. "A noble jest, I'll be bound." Thereupon the king's heart softened, for he marveled that a man so young could make so old a joke.—Catholic Standard and Times. Onion Sprees In Bern. An annual "zwiebel market," or onion market le held in Bern, and once a year the peasants come from far and near to purchase a stock of onions for the twelvemonth, and, in fact, it has grown to be a cni3tom on zwiebel mar- ket day for everybody, rich and poor, to buy onions; if not for use, then for the custom of the thing. On a Saturday night the onions ar- rive. Great boxes, baskets and barrels of onions line one Bide of the longest main street of the city, from the station directly through the long arcaded ave- nue as far as the arcades extend—about a mile. All day Sunday the onione re- main in the street, covered with cloths of every description, ani early Monday morning the sale begins. For two days every one yon meet has at least a string of onions, and one walks the entire length of the market and weeps. A few days later come the dances. Every saloon and hall is decorated, and the young peasants, girls and lads, come to town and make merry. Every "wirt- schaft" is crowded with a pushing, jostling throng of plump and ruddy faced peasants, drinking, dancing and "hiring out." There are no brawls, only perhaps parties of merry bumpkins walking through the streets at 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning and yodeling, without melody, at the top of their strong voices.—Chicago Record. Judging a Mule's Speed. "When I was a young man," quoth Officer Fayette Jones, "from a stand- point of yearn, I used to trade mules oc- casionally. One day I bad a dispute with a man to whom I had sold an ani- mal about its speed. We were unable to agree between ourselves, so we called in an old codger who talked with a drawl and used almost as much tobacco as he raised. We stated the question to him, 'Which is the faster of the mules?' He asked to be taken to the stable and stood there watching the mules eat. He chewed and looked, and looked and chewed. We wondered what be could tell about their speed simply by looking at them, but finally he pointed but the mule I had sold and said, 'That air the fastest of them mules.' " 'How do you know?' we asked in one breath. " 'Well, ' he replied, 'that younder one takes two chews to t'other's one an of one mule chews faster than t'other it's natural that he's a faster critter.' "It was philosophy that I've never forgotten, and now whenever I want to know the relative speed of horses or mules If judge 'em by the way they chew. "-Paducah Sun. A Sleepy Deputy. Under a former administration the United States marshal of western Penn- sylvania sent a warrant to one of his deputies, who was stationed in a back county, for the arrest of a counterfeit- er. The deputy knew the man and treated him considerately. When they reached Pittsburg, the necessary papers were not at hand to commit the prison- er to jail. The deputy would not take him to a hotel, because he would have to pay the bill out of his own pocket. So he took him to the marshal's office to pass the night there. The deputy was sleepy and the counterfeiter said he was. So the deputy handcuffed his pris- oner to himself and lay down on the floor beside the steam register. As soon as the deputy was asleep the counter- feiter took his keys from his pocket, unlocked the manacle and festered the loose end to the register. Then he took the deputy's watch and what money he had and departed. "Where is your prisoner?" asked the marshal the next morning, awakening the deputy. "Doesn't that beat all?" he replied as he tugged at his handcuff and bruised his wrist. "Darned if I don't believe he's gi' me the slip. "—Pittsburg News. The Overture to "Tank Ready." A man who writes theatrical gossip for a London paper gravely declares that he knows a manager who was greatly concerned lest the music for a tank play he was putting on should be inappropriate. The director of the or- chestra suggested several suitable num- bers from "Lurline" and "The Lily of Killarney, " and soon. But the manager could not be satisfied. He wanted some- thing that should have direct relevance to the great water illusion. At last his conductor, in despair, snggested in a grimly humorous moment the overture to "Tancredi." "The very thing," said the manager. "Why didn't yon think of that before? Put it down on the bill, my boy, in big letters — the overture to 'Tank Ready I' " Ground For Complaint.

A story was told be London Truth not long since and its correctness vouched for, which shows the folly of acting hastily and impulsively in im- portant concerns in life. The son of a very wealthy man at his father's death found himself free to in- dulge every whim. He had yachts, horses, an island on which he played king at his pleasure. He was not an immoral man, but idle and foolish. One day while using a long distance telephone he was charmed by the voice of the operator at the other end of the line. He managed to discover that it was that of a woman, young, single and pretty. In the course of a few days he convinced himself that the owner of the voice was the one human being who should be his wife and that life would be empty and desolate without her. The girl was poor and listened to his proposals. He cabled her money to buy her trousseau and to secure a chaperon to accompany her to the town where he resided. In due time she arrived. Her looks were as attractive as her voice. He married her and a few days later was found dead by his own hand in his room. He left no explanation beyond the words, "I have made a mistake," scrawled on a sheet of paper left on the table. As With One Voice They Spoke Up. At a little uptown gathering not long ago the guests played some simple games and told ghost stories and managed to have a good time in the o1i eaaM6ned way. Pretty soon one of the gentlemen said. "I don't believe we appreciate what a steady old slow coach the human brain is. Notwithstanding all our talk about quick wits and flashes of intern- elence the brain is not so easily thrown from its ,accustomed ruts. If, for in- stance, I'ask a question which is entire- ly new to you, but which your honest old brain mistakes for a query quite similar in construction, it will go right ahead and telegraph the reply in its own hidebound way." "That sounds interesting," said one of the guests, "but show ns an exam- ple." "I will, " said the first speaker, "with the proviso that you answer it prompt- ly." He smiled, and theft, without any haste, quietly asked, "Who saved the life of Pocahontas?" "John Smith!" roared 20 voices. "Yon see," said the questioner.— Cleveland Plain Dealer. When a Soldier I■ Degraded. This is how most armies degrade an officer who has been proved a traitor to his country. The day before the traitor is to be publicly degraded, the military tailor removes all the buttons and stripes from the officer's uniform, re- placing them with a single stitch, so that they can be readily torn away. The condemned man's sword is also filed almost in two, in order that it may be easily snapped. At the time appointed the traitor, who has, of course, been tried by court- martial, is marched out with his regi- ment, wearing his uniform for the last time. A halt is called, a superior officer repeats the verdict of the court martial, advances toward the traitor and says: "Yon have disgraced the uniform yon wear ; you are unworthy to carry arms. In the name of our country we degrade you." The decorations are torn from the uniform, the sword broken in twain, and amid the muffled rumbling of drums the ceremony ends, although a long term of imprisonment invariably follows.—Pearson's Weekly. Poor Change For Poets. A poet is cross tvvith me because I de- cline firmly to read his manuscripts and advise him as to the desirableness of taking to verse with all his young ener- gy. Other poets may take a statistical view of their case. Let them consider the estimated population of the globe. How many of them have justified their conduct in being poets? At this hour is there one such being anywhere? Sup- pose, for the sake of argument, that there are six. How many millions to one is it against the success of the neo- phyte? But, if versify he must, let him send his work to all the editors. If they think his poems worth printing (and paying for), then let him make friends with certain young critics, who will blow his trumpet before him. But do not let him bother busy old men, who, by reason of their age, are no longer good judges.—Andrew Lang in Long - man's Magazine. Tit For Tat. Brothers and sisters ought to be glad to give and receive mutual assistance. "You show such had taste in the se- lection of your neckties, Horace," said the elder sister of a youth in his teens.

Presuma- bly she dreamed of some danger, may be on account of having eaten too mach for snpper or having eaten the wrong kind of food. At any rate, she frequent- ly awoke crying in the night, and in her fear interpreted the dim outlines of a dress or a enrtain as a fearful beast that was about to attack her. The best thing to do is to dealtenderly with such fancies and remove the child as far as possible from the object that has caused her excitement. - Then, if you can do so without dis- turbing the other children, light the lamp and let the light fall full on the thing that has given rise to her fear. Be slow, and express your opinion first as a kind of preliminary assumption that the bear may after all be mamma's skirt or the certain moving in the draft, and when this comforting probability is under- stood follow up your advantage and de- clare it to be a good joke that a harm- less piece of cloth should look like a fear- ful animal. Make the child smile at the incongruity of her fancy, and her laugh will cure the horror of the dream and dispel the nightmare as sunshine dis- solves the mist.—Arena. Luxury, Hight or Wrong. Discussing the right or wrong of luxury in The North American Review, Professor F. Spencer Baldwin, a Boston university authority on economics. comes to these conclusions. "There are justifiable and there are unjustifiable luxuries. "In general it may be laid down that a luxury which contributes to the effi- ciency of the individual in the widest sense and which does not impose on so- ciety for the satisfaction of its demands an unwholesome and degrading form of labor is perfectly justifiable. "This sanction of luxury is not to be stretched to cover unlimited self in- dulgence. The part played by rational self sacrifice in the development of char- acter is not to be overlooked. Constant self indulgence is demoralizing. "But in general a man has a right to spend money for anything that enriches and diversifies his life, and thus aids in the developing and rounding out of his personality. provided the labor that is required for the production of the arti- cles in question he agreeable and innoc- uous. "On the other hand, a luxury that de- moralizes the individual or calls for a noxious form of labor is unjustifiable. " `alepaant lianting In tibia. When the elephant is pursued on foot, it is invariably sought in the depths of the forest, where it has retired for shel- ter from the =noonday sun and also for the short repose it takes during the 24 hours. T -he hunter, having tracked his quarry to its retreat, is obliged to use the utmost stealth in' approaching it, the elephant being a very light sleeper and awakened by the slightest unusual sound. The difficnity of moving through' a dense, thorny jungle without making any sound dissimilar to those which might be produced by nature, such as the stirring of the branches by a light breeze or the occasional falling of a dead leaf, is greater than can be realized by any one who has not tried it. On getting within arm's length of his game the swordsman slowly raises him- self to an erect position and deals a slashing cut on the back sinews of the nearest foot about ten incises from the ground, at the same time leaping nim- bly back to avoid a blow from the ani- mal's trunk. The cut, if properly deliv- ered, bites sheer to the bone, severing the large arteries, and in a short time death ensues from hemorrhage.--Har- per's Weekly. A Sister Lost. At one time, when two Cheyennes got to gambling, one lost, and luck seemed to be against him. After he had lost every piece of property he bad, in des- peration he put up his sister and lost her.

Over 20 years ago the writer was su- perintendent of the Arapahoe Indian school at Darlington during a period of five years. During this time not less than four young Indian women came to the school, asking admittance and protection from marriage that was about to be forced upon them.

He is serviug his fourth consecutive term. That his constituents appreciate his services is evidenced by the fact that he &returned by an increased major- ity at each succeeding election. And it should be borne in mind that Mr. Staples is an ardent republican, while two-thirds of his constituents are democrats. I must confess that I conceived a violent prejudice against Mr. Staples during the 1895 session. But I bad misjudged the man. Mr. Staples and Mr. Jacobson generally work together, although occasionally they take opposite sides. For in- stance, Mr. Staples favored the pig iron bounty bill, while Mr. Jacobson led the opposition to that measure. Some of his brother members regard Mr. Staples as slightlyrrogant, and occasionally he is dictatorial. But he is one of the most conscientious men that ever sat in a legislative hall, and he is as able as he is conscientious. He is a better debater and more politic than Mr. Jacobson. Mr. Staples is an in- defatigable worker and he has father- ed some of the best bills introduced this session. C. F. Staples is a man who will be heard from in the future. —Princeton Union. Last Monday morning the people of this section were astonished to see the surface of the snow covered with a black substance, as though dirt had been scattered over it by the wind sweeping across a plowed bare field. When it was learned that there were no such bare fields any where the con- clusion was reached that the discolor- ation arose from the settling down of the smoke from burning soft coal; $ but how it could accumulate in such quantities in a single night, with the wind blowing a gale, and miles and miles from a soft coal chimney, as was the case, was a puzzle. Taking a handful of the black snow, and put- ting it under a microscope or common magnifying glass, the dirt was easily discovered to be ordinary prairie soil, slightly mixed with a fine,yellow sand, and the explanation of it?presence is that it was picked up from the bare prairies, hundreds of miles to the northwest, and brought down to this region by the fierce gale and dropped. —Faribault Democrat.

Deforestation and its Results. Twenty years ago Minnesota was a fisherman's paradise. Until the de- struction of its forests began Minne- sota was famous throughout the coun- try for its numberless lakes and streams of clear, cold water, teeming with the gamiest and most edible of fish. The temperature of its land and water was such as to promote the propagation, growth, and develop- ment of the greatest abundance of solid and deliciously flavored tish, so unlike the soft, flabby, and tasteless fish of regions south of us. A gener- ation ago the great system of lakes, marshes, springs, rivers, and giant forests which went to make up and protect the sources of the great Mis- sissippi had no parallel in the United States ,east of the Rocky Mountains; while the lesser systems of the Min- nesota, the Red River of the North and the St. Croix and their many tributary lakes and streams, were great sources of water of which many nations would be proud and desirous to conserve. But with the destruction of the for- ests of Minnesota the same results in the diminution of water supply have followed as in the older countries of the world where forest destruction has gone on, and we are but repeating history. The lakes :.nd rivers have receded, the spring-. ,e,ve dried ul, the rainfall has deer's:. -A, and the : mosphere has lost much of its humi ity. That the water shrinkage h been exceedingly large is a fact know to every observer. To -day Minneso is full of dried up lakes and stream As we ride through the country see from the car windows grass grow- ing in what a few years ago were beds of large bodies of water, where fish were once abundant. As I read the sentences each of you can recall lak nd streams which'have seriously d :lined in depth and size, or have drie p altogether. Stand on the beach lmost any lake in Minnesota ail ast your eyes shorewards and yo au easily see the shore line of a get ration ago when the water stood si ight, or ten feet higher than it doe o -day. But this is not all, f!r fro ear to year we can see that the dr ug up process is still very rapid] oing on. Many of the lakes hay ecome grass plots, and ninny brook ave widened into broad expanses o and or gravel over which in the sum er season we pass dry shod. Th nteresting address of W. C. Browe liieh has been published by th Iiunesota Forestry Association, de tribes in a most authenticated loan er the extent of water decrease i innesota and is worthy our mos ireful consideration. As agriculturalists you know ho uickly an unprotected bill loses it ii. The rain is not stored in th arta to feed perennial springs, bu runs of in torrents bearing away ortion off the vegetable glebe an ch surface soil; and the freshets o pring soon take the rest; and yo now that this soil which is the asked away is the rich organic moul hick the earth most needs. And ne severe storm may wash away i week the rich fertilizing matte hick it has required centuries to ac m elate. It has been estimated that not les an ten per cent of our soil is carnet way by rills, streams, and floods uring the present week, as I have en farmers hauling loads of manure oin the stables of thcs c ty to place on their lands, l iv: thought riously of the fact ,Ii.1 the torrents d floods of the coming spring would ubtless strip their lauds of more fer- izers than they could haul to their nds in manure carts in a month of tient labor. But this loss of the richest part of e soil is not to the land alone. Let e ask you where is this rich soil ostly carried by the torrents and oods? Is it not into the beds of kes and streams where it is not only t needed, but where it is a positive ury, choking the channels of the ers and streams and forming large ndbars in the lakes, thereby greatly ducing the depth of water if it does t entirely overcome it? And. just re, saying nothing about the serious se tOthe land, a great damage is ne to the fish. The clear, sandy, avelly, or rocky bottom of the lake stream, which the fish love and on ich they feed and have their spawn - beds, is covered with the rich uld from the fields, forming a ddy sediment which fish do not like, d the feeding grounds and spawn - beds are greatly reduced and ten destroyed. The deep boles where resort are filled up and the lake stream is made shallow. Moreover water vegetation, on which the feed at certain seasons, is cover - with the washings from the land is destroyed, and another source ood for fish is annihilated. This last proposition that the accumulation of soil and mud in the bottom of streams is inimical to fish is true of all the higher grades of fish, but to it there is one exception, and that ex- ception is as to catfish, called in com- mon parlance bull heads. Bull heads thrive in muddy bottom and increase to an alarming extent. They are the gluttons of our waters. But beware of them, for when they once get pos- session of the waters, it will not be long before the best varieties of fish disappears. FRANK H. CARLETON. Uncle William Jones. Lucie William Jones is dead. The one man who was more widely known and more universally esteemed than any one else in the community has passed away. That is the flower has gone, but the sweet fragrance of his remembrance can never be effaced from the eternal book—peace on earth, good will'to men. Uncle Jones was a good citizen of this world, a man of long and constant usefulness, and yet among.those most intimately acquainted with him his history is not of this world. He realized that he grew here, but he lived in a purer at- mosphere. While his career was suf- ficiently eveutql to warrant a lengthy sketch, there stems to be something in this which would.bring him down to the level of other men rather than exalt him above as he deserves. He lived pi'eventy-three years and was ever an .active man, active in all the duties that constitute a good man. Industrious to 'a fault, attentive to it- , the wants of those around him, faith - (e fel in church matters, zealous in tho as discharge of all his duties as a citizen, useful in benevolent societies, in fact n useful, kind, pleasant, and wise, and to never ambitious or selfish. With av- s. erage selfishness and ambition he we would have risen high in distinction. As it was, his worth as a citizen never was entirely unappreciated. From the early territorial days since he came to Minnesota he was always ar- se tive in public matters, and activity, es with him, simply meant the faculty of making himself useful, and net con- spicuous and the beneficiary of the labors Of. others, as do successful poli- ticians. He was. for years justice in Hastings, where he spent the most of his active life, represented Dakota County in the legislature, which com- pletely broke down his ambition to rise in that direction, and since coming to Merriam Pant has been one of the most conspicuous figures of his party in local politics. Uncle Jones was a grand old man of the most genuine type of grand old men. He was known by many, and his memory will long live in the memory of his friends. Funeral services were held at the resi- dence, on Carroll Street, Thursday afternoon in prsence of a large as- semblage of the best people in the community. eager: to pay respect to the memory ofageed man. The Rev. John Pemberton officiated and deliv- ered an impressive eulogy. The re- mains were taken . to Hastings, the old family home, for burial.—Mid- way News, 4th. The Insane Asylum. Since the hatchet was buried in the Anoka -Hastings hospital war, Bro. Todd has turned his attention to the matter of poor -houses. Public insti- tutions will continue to interest the Hastings sage until 30 is on the hook. —Princeton Union. Gentlemen, whatever you do, don't go back to the musty ages of the past to find a refuge for Minnesota's un- fortunates. Rather build one, two, or a dozen suck- institutions as are now the pride of the state, and are to be credited to t[ie march of knowledge and christiani civilization—homes where the poor, weary pilgrims whose minds have become warped may find a home, comforts, and treatment, which ire not only a credit to human- ity, but pleasing in the sight of God. —St. Peter Tribune. Minnesota has her system, which has grown up with the Iife of the commonwealth, and, while it contains defects, it would seem that the wiser course would be to remedy these de- fects than to jump at once to a -radical- ly different system. The county sys- .em may work all right in Wisconsin, where it has been perfected by experi- ence; but, if Minnesota should adopt it, she would have a long educational experience to go'`through before per- fecting it. On,•the other hand, the system which we have been trying for so many years, and with which our authorities are familiar; can be cured of its defects by a little more wise legislation and patient effort on the pa -t of the administrators of the sys- tem. The first thing to do is to pro- vide more room and relieve the pres- sure upon the existing hospitals for the insane. This can be done by the construction of new hospitals at Anoka and Hastings, as proposed— Minneapolis Tribune. The Methodist Church, The series of meetings at the Meth- odist Church, in which the Rev. F. M. Rule, presiding elder, and the Rev. R. N. Joscelyn, chaplain of the senate, have done most of the preaching, re- sulted in muck good. The services last Sunday morning were devoted to a love feast, the reception -of members, and the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper. Six united with the church on probation, three in full connection, and one by letter. Four were baptized. An unusually large number partook of the communion. These services were followed by a large Sunday school. The meetings closed Thursday evening. Anchored. "Up in my den, " said a New Orleans bachelor, who lives in a couple of quaintly furnished rooms l4 a business block down town, "betwe n the fire- place and the first bookcase on the left yon will find two large slippers nailed to the wall, some four feet above the wainscoting. The heels of the slippers are quite close together, the toes spread slightly outward, and being made of brightly flowered drngget they look not unlike two enormous particolored bee- tles, clinging to the wall with folded wings. They are not, however, intend- ed as ornaments, but have a very home- ly and practical purpose. "When I retreat to my den at night, take down the book that suits my mood, get into a comfortable, ragged old jacket, turn the lamp just right and light my pipe—when I have performed these preliminary ceremonies, I place a chair directly in front of the slippers, insert my feet in their depths and lean back with the blissful consciousness that I can't possibly tip over and break my neck. I am anchored, so to speak, to the wall, and the light is so arranged as to make the position the best possi- ble one for reading. My friends claim that the habit is pulling out my legs to an abnormal length, but,1 don't let that worry me. I'm thinks of having the scheme copyrighted." — New Orleans Times -Democrat. Our One Coed Potaat. The English woman was arraigning America and everything American and to an American. "Your bed springs are uncomfortable," she said, "I never slept in a comfortable bed the whole time I was in the States. And your breakfasts—such great, overfed meals as they are! I don't see how yon live, breakfasting as you do. As for your American voices, well, they go without saying, or rather they won't go with saying, but so many more eloquent than I have so often scored you upon that point I won't pretend to compete. Of all tho many dreadful things about America, though, there's nothing so bad as your voice:_. " `C tn't you, Think somethng good about us?" came in a etill, small voice from Cu,American. "Haven't we a single redeeming quality?" The English woman thought a bit. "Wel'. yes, you have one," she said in the tone of one who is making a great concession, "and that is your little elastic bands. They are so convenient, and they seem to be so plentiful. I never saw so many in all my life as I did in the States. I must confess that to my mind very many of your worst traits are more than made up for by your lit- tle elastic bands. "—New York Sun. Milton and Dante's Heaven. Milton's heaven is earthly and obvi- ons, though with none but celestial in- habitants; where eve and morn succeed each other and "grateful twilight" has its appointed hour; where the trees Of life ambrosial fruitage bear, and vines Yield nectar; whose angels sleep "fanned with cool winds" in their celestial tabernacles and eat not seemingly "nor in mist," but "with keen dispatch of real hun- ger" verging on excess, from any in- jurious effects of which, as the pcet takes pains to tell ns, their spiritual nature avails to save them. Dante's heaven is no less definite and orderly to its minutest detail, but mystical and ethereal, even while peopled by the sons and daughters of earth, passing from glory to glory in ascending brightness, with divine visions that come and go like stars in a cloudy night and attend- ed by the music of the spheres. These are the two extremes between which lesser poets paint and plant their Edens. —Gentleman's Magazine. Indications of Malaria. Tho statement is made by Dr. Bois - son, a French military surgeon, that patients suffering from malarial affec- tions, even those of a masked or latent character, always present a peculiar discoloration of the nails, this, it also seems, being independent of the locality in which the malaria was contracted, as he has found in soldiers from Ton- quin and Madagascar. It appears before the rigor, increasing during the cold stage, attaining its maximum in the middle of the hot stage, after which it gradually diminishes, disappearing to- ward the close of the sweating period. This discoloration, which has also been remarked by other observers, has gen- erally been looked upon as due to cir- culatory troubles during the cold stage; but, according to Dr. Boisson, it cannot be thus accounted for, as it begins be- fore the cold period and is most evident later on. It differs also from the livid blue tint due to local asphyxia, being of a gray shite color, and is probably due to a change in the hemoglobin of those red corpuscles which are destined to be destroyed during the acute stage. Boric _lclai and Milli:. . _:entific journal says that boric acid is ar , scellent and harmless preser- vative of _a and that in the quanti- ties ne, essary for preservation its pres- ence cannot be detected either by the sense cf taste or of smell. Five grains to the gallon will preserve the milk from one to three days, according to the care exercised in the cleaning of the containing vessels, the temperature, etc. Within the last three months Dr. O. Liebreich, director of the Royal Pharmaceutical institute in Berlin, said he had carried on a long series of ex- periments with boracio acids and had convinced himself that it was admira- bly adapted as a food preservative and in the quantities necessary for that purpose it was quite harmless. He add- ed that neither in actual practice nor according to authoritative literature has a case been known in which food prepared or preserved with borax or boracic acid had exercised a deleterious effect on the health of any individual. Demagnetising a Watch. A simple method of curing a magnet ized watoh consists in hanging it from a string, which latter is twisted as tightly as possible, and then holding the string and watoh near a dynamo or strong magnet. The watch is then re- leased, and, of course, begins to spin, and while doing so is gradually carried away from the dynamo and out of the magnetio field. The demagnetization is, due to the rapid alternations of thei poles of the magnetized parts in a mag- netic field that is deoreasiug in intensity. Minor Topics. Miss Elsie A.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.;, There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in• flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you hie a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and w en it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, d unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

[The following story is based on celebrated play, "Cyrano de Berge in which Mr. Richard Mansfield, actor, has been recently creating a sation in New York. In the play rano, a man of brilliant intellect handicapped 1 an (Mormons nose,w his consin Rowe, through a hand foci, keeping himself ont of her sig Phyllis began to langh just as as Cyrano made his appearance. condnct on her part was as distin disappointing as though I hadn't expected her to act iii such a man To 11 the truth, I really didn't t take Phyllis to see "Cyrano" at because—well, yon see, I've a pr big nose myself. It isn't a Cyrano in ber by any means, of coarse, but as a child the women who didn't my mother used to pity me open account of it, and my college fri still allude to my unfortunate probos as 0 "regular wind splitter." So, said, I wasn't ',atall anxious to "Cyrano" in Pb yllis' company, an I hadn't feared her suspecting the son of my unwillingness in this' reg I should never have done so. As it it really hurt me a little when her d pies began to come and go at sigh Mansfield's colossal nasal organ. I nothing, however, and it was not u the end of the "poet's bakery" act t I received my first creel blow. "I think Mansfield is perfectly s lime, don't you ?" gushed a pretty of Phyllis' acquaintance who sat front of ns. It was with difficulty t Phyllis restrained the dimples fr open insnrrcction as she replied. "Well, they say it is only a lit step from the sublime to the ridi lens." she remarked with dancing ey "'and as I never in all my life saw a thing half so ridiculous as that nos suppose its wearer is at least approa ing snblimity." "Phyllis," said I when the nit; had given me half a chance gape without the girl in front bearing all said, "don't yon think it's possible the owner of a big nose to be anythi but ridiculous?" Phyllis cast a mischievous glance me over her shoulder and before ma ingn buried answer swat ed her face in the b bunch of violets I had given her. "All things are possible," she th rather cruelly said, "but I should thin - it would be rather difficult for the own of a.big nose to be anything else." The kiss scene was beginning no so I had a long act in which to recov so much of my equanimity as I migh When Roxane had delivered her pa sionate exhortation to Cyrano to prote her lover from all the danger whic might threaten him at Arras, begi ning with'sword wounds and endin with cold, and when she begged h cousin to see that the wordless obje of her devotion wrote to her frequentl Phyllis turned to me as the certain fel and I could see there were tears in h eyes. She acted as though she won have said something, but did not. F once I was wise enough to hold m tongue and to leave all chance of assis ance for n y cause to fate or providenc —and the girl in front of ns. This gi had been crying openly, and her ey were all red and moist still as eh squirmed about in her seat in order t face Phyllis. "Oh,-Phyllisl Isn't it a pity such y perfectly grand character should ha such an awful nose!" she exclaime weepingly. Phyllis regarded her wit an air of chilly contempt. "What under the ever blessed canop does the kind of nose he has matter?' she inquired loftily. "With a charact like Cyrano's features don't matter i the least. Who with any soul at al would dream of considering or eve remembering his nose'?" The girl in.front of ns was properly squelched, and I was unwisely elated. "Who; . indeed?" °I murmured ac quiescently. $hyllis stiffened immedi ately. "I wasn't talking to you, thank you," she remarked in a tone softly suggestive of icebergs and the Klondike and so on. I was so crushed by and in- dignant at her manner and speech that I didn't even come to her rescue when she lost her handkerchief during the course of the fourth act and was in dire distress for another wherewith to wipe away the tears consequent upon Rox- ane's sorrow over her lover's death and Cyrano's wounding. And she in torn was strangely silent when we rose at the conclusion of the last act and made our way toward the street. The crowd was great and we were obliged to stand a few moments in the foyer. Phyllis turned to me suddenly with an apologetic touch upon my arm. "I didn't mean what I said abont— about big noses," she said softly, and picking shyly at my coat sleeve as she spoke—"that is—not about all big noses. Cyrano"—recovering herself somewhat as the onward movement of the crowd recalled her to conventional- ity and the recollection of where we. were—"Cyrano was perfectly lovely in spite of his nose. He was so sweet and faithful to his love," she finished more naturally as we came opposite a fine, portrait of Mansfield which hung on the' wall near by. Her wraps were still on my arm, and I drew her aside gently to don them. "Phyllis, " I said softly as she slipped into her jacket and I dropped the fur collarette into its enviable place about her throat, "Phyllis, do you think Cy- rano was the only man in the world who was ever faithfnl to his love in spite of a big nose?" She looked np, she looked down, she blushed vividly. but I held her firmly the rac," the een- Cy , but ooes some ht. soon This ctly fully net, want all, etty em- even like open} on ends cis as I see d if rea- ard was im- tof said ntil hat ub- girl in hat 011Itle In- es, ny- eI ch - Sic ak for ng at ig en k er w, er t. a- ct h n- g er ct y, 1, er ld Or y t- e rl es e 0 a e d h y 1,r n 1 n facing me—under guise of button her coat—and she .was compelled make some sort of reply.

The Scientific American describes an ingenious combination tool invented by Beniamino Ibelli of New York city which comprises essentially a role, a penknife, a gauge and a weighing scale.

Within the re- cess of the first section and between the side walls are pivoted two knife blades, the backs of which are adapted to be re- ceived by the recess of the section when the tool is folded and the blades are closed. Behind the rear wall of the recess in the second section a chainher is formed, which receives the gradrated bar of a weighing scale, controlled by a retract- ile spring. On one of the outer surfaces of the section a gauge is adapted to slide in guideways and is designed accurate- ly to caliper shorter diamete,-s when the two rule sections ar, t -ed Color Priv' tlag. Details of the reported invention b two Englishmen and a Frenchman of enccessfnl method of panting in differ ent colors Simultaneously are pub/Lille in the colmmns of the Archie fue Buchdrncker Kunst. The process is on of peculiar interest, deviating entirely as it does, from all the ordinary meth ods yet brought forward for printing i colors. It is styled the mosaic chroman heat process, and neither wooden block nor lithographic stones mor rollers play any part in the simple operations. The colors which are required for the differ- ent parts of the picture are applied, In any desired number, on a plate about three-fourths of an inch thick and form a coherent, cheesy mass, and when this arrangement of colors is finished the plate presents the well known aspect of a mosaic picture. The plate is placed on the bed of the machine --an ordinary lithographic press, but adapted to this process—and the impressions are pro- duced by the use of a cylinder heated by gas flames in the interior. It is said that this invention saves 73 per cent of time and cost over the ordinary method. —New York Fun. Had Nerve as. Well as Weight. In one of the newspaper composing rooms in this city there is a typesetting machine operator who is a great lover of horse racing. A good share of his wages goes to the bookmakers at the local tracks during the racing season, although for smile reason be never ac- quired the poolroom habit and has al- ways refused to put down a bet unless he was "there to see how the dogs ran." He is fully six feet tall and . weighs about 200 pounds. His size suggested a joke to one of his friends during the racing season last summer. "Going to Sheepshead Bay today ?" the friend asked, "I'd like to, but if I go I won't have much left to bet with." "I can give you a jockey's bale, " said the friend. "Gimme it," replied the printer, ea- gerly. never realizing the ridiculous contrast between his size and that of even the heavyweight jockeys. Armed with the jockey's badge, he presented himself at the race track gate and show- ed his badge. The ticket taker looked at him in astonishment. "Great Scott!" he finally blurted out, "wot do you ride—the elephant ?" "There's one entered in the fifth race," was the reply. And his nerve so paralyzed the gatekeeper that he was admitted.—New York Sun. lion Times.

Miners who have returned from the Klondike say chat hi that region, as in others where the winter temperature runs down tow well below o zero, the bear of the miner is the frozen soil in which he has fo work. A patent for thawing the ground electrically has just been sold for a large sum. Special- ly constructed dynamos and electrodes are placed against the walls of the shaft, with a space of from five to six feet of ground intervening, so that when the current is turned on it has to cross the face of this space to complete the circuit. As the ground contained therein forms a resistance to the motion of the electricity heat' is generated, and the ground is thawed. The heat thus generated can be so controlled that it can be applied in any manner that will utilize its full force and effect. By the old bonfire system it took 24 hours to freeze out a foot of soil; by the elec- trical system it is claimed that it is possible to thaw ont the same depth of frozen earth in one hour, or 24 feet per day. —St. Louis Globe -Democrat.

Meat eaten once a day is suffi- cient for a person not engaged in man - nal labor or who does not take muck strong outdoor exercise.

An artificial stone has been invented that is a nonconductor of heat, cold and noise. It is especially intended for roofs and floors. The fact that a floor can be laid in a flat that will prove a nonconductor of sound should certainly fall like a benediction on the ears of those who dwell in apartments and have been made the unwilling participants of all the sorrows and joys of their near neighbors. The so called stone is made of purified paper pulp mixed with vari- ons other ingredients to harden it. Pa- pyristile is the name of this thrice wel- come invention, and Fr.

Not long ago an entomologist canght one of these beetles and, unaware of' its peculiar ability for sawing through anything in its way, put it in a card- board box. Soon tiring of solitary con- finement, or probably thinking its cap- tor had forgotten to ?irovide it with a door, the beetle cut one for itself and crawled out. It was captured and put in a wooden box. and as soon as the novelty of its new home wore off, again the persever- ing insect cut a hole in the box and es- caped. The next time tie escaped prisoner was caught it was put in a small glass jar with a tight fitting pewter cover, punctured to let in air. But the metal cutting beetle from Mexico scorned to live in a pepper box and gnawed a hole big enough to allow it to creep out in- to the big world again. And this time it was not caught. Primitive Pipes. The earliest Indian pipes were simply tubes, in one end of which the tobacco or dried leaves were put. It has been P find that the pipes used by the ancient humans were made on the same plan, the bowl being an invention reserved for a comparatively recent day. It is worthy mentioning incidentally that the cigarette is really an invention of the Indians. They made cigarettes just like those now in use, with wrappers of the thinnest corn husks There is a popular notion, by the way, that paper nsed for modern ciga- rettes is destructive to health and apt to be saturated with drags. Facts do not warrant this idea, inasmuch as the best cigarette paper is quite harmless, being made out of new linen rags. from tae refuse left over in the manufacture shirts and other linen garments. There is no such thing as rice paper. What is known as such is the pith of a plant cut in thin slices used by the Chinese for painting pictures. --Science Siftings. Ireland Called Many Names. Few countries have suffered so many changes of name as Ireland. In the time of Ptolemy the island was known as Scotia. Diodorns Siculus calls the island Ira, or Imo: in the "De Mundo," cred- ited by some scholars to Aristotle, it is cal .d Irenne; in the "Argonantica of Orpheus" it appears as Irinus; Strabo calls it Irene; Caesar. Tacitus and Pliny mention it as Hibernia; Mela called it Jnverna. The native names In Celtic are Ir, Eri, or Erin. Plutarch mentions it under the name of Ogygia. The name Ireland is no doubt derived from the native Ir or Eri, but when it: came into eneral nee is a question concerning which scholars are much at variance ventor. The preparation is as hard as stone, but much lighter in weight. It is noiseless and inexpensive. — Ex- change: Gazelles in Nubia are hunted by a Gazelle Hunting. Galveston'. West Indian Trade.

Soap Mixed In the Dough. Epicures may be interested to know that continental bakers are in the habit of mixing soap with their dough to make their bread and pastry nice and light. The quantity of soap varies. In fancy articles, like waffles and fritters, it is much larger than in bread. The soap is dissolved in water, oil is added, and the mixture, after being well whipped, is added to the flour. powerful breed of hounds, in build somewhat heavier than a greyhound.' In spite of being far swifter than the hound, the gazelle falls a victim from the nervous habit of constantly stop- ' ping to look back tome if it is pursued. It also expends its strength by taking great bounds in an almost vertical di- rection, thereby not only losing time, but exhausting itself, so that it is over- taken without difficulty.—Harper's Weekly Judicial Levity.

He is Captain Joseph E. G. Ryan, for- merly of the Seventh. Captain _cyan is a whisky expert. He can tell almost to a day the age of any sample submitted to him; - Give him a few drops of whisky, and he can tell you the brand, the distiller, where it was made, when, and detect adulteration if there is any. Blend two orthree kinds of whisky, and he can tell the blend. And he never tastes it, being strictly temperate in all his habits. It is all told by the smell. Captain Ryan's nose is a very sensitive organ and he has trained it with the utmost care. "Smelling is by far the most satis- factory method of testing," be says. "If a man has a great deal to sample, and tastes each kind, he soon gets so that he cannot distinguish one from the other. The sense of taste becomes blunt- ed, and he loses all the fine distinctions. "On the other hand, the more a man uses his nose the more acute the sense of smell becomes, and he is able to de- tect the slightest difference between samples. "—Chicago Journal. Hamlet's Bowl of Gruel. George Melville, an old English actor, was fond of telling a funny story at his own expense. He was acting Hamlet in Bristol. It was the actor's rale to take a bowl of gruel in the conrse of tho evening, and his landlady sent over the usual refreshment from the lodgings in Queen square. She happened to have a "new" servant girl, who was explicitly directed to get to the stage door by the entrance from Bank street and then carry the gruel_ into the greenroom. She arrived at a moment when Mr. Melville was "on." Being unused to the ways of the theater, she asked a man at the wings where Mr. Melville was. "There," said the super, pointing to the stage. The actor was in the middle of the soliloquy, "To be or not to be," when the girl advanced t ,ward him, bearing the bowl, and said, "If you please, Mr. Melvi sir, here is your gruel."

Not many years ago and within the memory of this generation the Scandi- navian peninsula was regarded as be- ing quite out of the world, and to sug- gest going there seemed almost like - proposition to visit the north pole would now, but the great ocean grey hounds have brought that picturesque land near, and a trip to the Land of the Midnight Sun is regarded with no more fear than a run over to Paris was 15 years ago.

Mr Thomas, by the way. is a great friend of King Oscar. who recently ab- dicated in favor of his son. and in his book. "Sweden and the Swedes," pays many tributes to that monarch. with whom he has many traits in common. Mr. Thomas' chief claims to the king's admiration are his knowledge of the Swedish language, his admiration for its literature and the good taste be dis- played in selecting a Swedish wife. Mrs. Themes. who bears the picturesque name,..4f Dagmar Elizabeth, is the daughter of Ragnar Toreebladh. mem- ber of the upper house of the Swedish parliament and manager of the Na- tienal Bank of the Kingdom of Sweden Like her Scandinavian sisters. Mrs Thomas bas light hair. bine eyes and fait coniplexion, andher figure is lithe and graceful. But she has all the en- thusiasm of the daughters of the south, and hey winning manners and social talents have added much to her hus- band's prestige in Stockholm. She Supplies Delicacies. Mrs. Harriet Brainard has long been known as one of the foremost teachers of literature in Chicago, but it only re- cently transpired that for several years she has been at the head of an associa- tion that supplies all sorts of delicacies for the largest tearoom in tlie city, caters to many of the swell crubs and furnishes the buffets of mostof the rail- roads running out of Chicago; more- over. that she was its sole originator and promoter. and. while retaining her position as teacher of literature, has managed the entire financial side of the association—not only so, but no new dish is ever added to the list but that Mrs Brainard first makes it with her own hands. tests it and personally teaches it to her assistants. In other words. Mrs. Brainard is the association. From no capital and no commercial prestige. her business has grown until now the whole upper floor of her large and beatitiful home is given np to the manufacture of home delicacies. and no less than 50 people are employed in its various branches. _Indeed with the new year Mrs. Brainard found herself obliged to add to this equipment a large down town office in one of the hand- some buildings on Michigan boulevard, and has begun to add private catering to her list of successes. A graduate of Cornell college and for three years a fellow in the Chicago uni- versity. Mrs. Brainard drifted into teaching literature as in the direction of her most strongly marked tastes. Born and bred to a rather luxurious way of living, she was unwilling, when the business depression came and much of the family revenue was found to be tied up in real estate. that any change should take place in their accustomed way of living, but determined that the usual establishment, with its servants, horses. carriages, etc., should remain intact. —Philadelphia Press. Husbands For Uncle Sam's Girls. ''The number of male infants born yearly eerceeds that of female by 1 to 4 per cent, the proportion varying slight- ly from year to year, " writes Profess- or a R. McAnally of "The American G'irl's Chances of Marriage." in the Ladies' Horne Journal. "The mishaps of boyhood, however, reduce the *num- ber of boys to some extent, but not so much as to make the adult females out- number the males. For every American woman, therefcre. there ought to be a husband in posse if not in esse, and the fact that there is a large percentage of unmarried adult women in the country, and a greater proportionate number in some sections than in others, is attrib- utable to causes which have disturbed the balance of population. In all new conntries—and compared with Europe the United States is a new country— • there is a larger proportion of males than of females. The aggregate popu- lation of the United States, so far as the latest official figures show. is 62,622,- 250. of which 32.067.880 are males and 80,554,370 awe females. Thus the pre- ponderance cf :males over females would seem to make it comparatively easy for the American girl to secure a husband, but in certain sections this is evidently not the ease, else the proportion of adult unmarried women would not be so large. If men would remain in the neighborhoods where they were born the proportion of men and women would be nearly equal all over the country, but men find work hard to get in the older and more populous com- munities, and go to the newer states. The young women are left behind, and the young men, after settling in their new homes, forget the companions of their youth and contract alliances among their new friends in the west; hence some of the eastern states show a surplus of females." Questionable Financiering. There are people who say that women are not financiers, but there are others who take a different view of the sub- ject. There is in Greater New York a clever man who does the 'fine cabinet work in expensive yachts and could mention as his patrons many people whose names, on account of their great wealth, are household words. It need not be supposed that on this account he is specially to be envied. The great middle class of people with fluctuating incomes are not the least desirable pa- trons or the millionaires the most desir- able. One woman on whose yacht the fine cabinet worker had been employed was worth many millions, and she might be called a financier. It is just possible that the master cabinet worker calls her by a less complimentary name. The work done had been cope luted for sev- eral months, and the man was begin- ning to be anxious for his money. It was "good" undoubtedly in a commer- cial sense, but, all the same, that knowledge would not keep his workmen from starving. So he wrote the woman, told her that he needed the money- and asked if she would not be kind enough to send a check. There was a telegram in response from the millionaire financier, which read something like this, "If I send check, what discount will you make?" "Have waited six months for my money, can make no disconnt," tele- graphed tack the man. At last acconnts the Boston woman—she was a Boston woman—had not sent the check.—New York Times. \ London Women and News. e first number of what is claimed to be the first woman's newspaper ever produced in Great Britain was publish- ed recently. It is called The Woman's Weekly C. J. Tihbits. the editor, had this to say of the venture: "Althongh the female population of Great Britain and Ireland considerably exceeds the male. there is not a single newspaper in existence that caters exclusively to wo- tuen readers. "Of arse there are scores of excel- lent misazincs and papers devoted to fashion, the home, social and kindred subjects, but so far as the conntle,ss events of the day are concerned thht appeal with special force to women, no paper has as yet been established to re- cord them. "The Woman's Weekly will thus be absolntely unique in this country. It consists of 16 pages. News of all kinds of interest to women—general, law, society, social, etc.—will find a place in its columns, which will be illustrated by a corps of clever artists. The news will be written in a bright. attractive manner, and will contain tidbits of information supplied by the cleverest women journalists of the day. "There are those who say that Eng- lish women don't want and won't buy a newspaper. My answer is that no newspaper has ever yet been printed that tried to make itself useful and at- tractive to women alone. Women want a newspaper of the right kind. Dishwashing Made Easy. A friend of mine said she grew rebel- lious because of having to cook ; that she grew irritable and unhappy over it. It was the after cleaning of the cooking vessels that was the most distasteful to her. She determined to take herself in hand and subdue the ugly spirit. as she termed it. She studied over the problem, trying to make the work less irksome by adopting means to enable her to do it more quickly and also to save her hands and not to come in contact so of- ten with the greasy iron vessels. She made mops with long handles and bought her a half doyen linen crash towels and made a soap winch cuts the grease and also purifies and cleans quickly, taking about half the usual time. The soap is made thus. Dissolve three ounces of borax in two parts of warm water. Add two bars of good white soap shaved fine, and stir all to- gether in a jar until it is melted. When cool, it will form a jelly. A tablespoon- ful of this will make a strong lather in a gallon of water and will be good for cleaning any iron or porcelain lined vessel. It is also excellent for washing windows and general housecleaning She persevered in trying to overcome the dislike to cooking and cleaning, and by making the work attractive and easier saved time to devote to more pleasant pursuits. The homemaker must study to be with her family all she can. She must study to overcome petty dis- likes and to learn the lesson of sweet submission to the inevitable.—San Francisco Chronicle. Women of the Legion of Honor. It is interesting to note, in connection with tb fact that one of the nuns at- tached io the naval hospital at Cher- bourg, France, has just been decorated with the cross of the Legion of Honor by the minister of marine, that she is the sixty-eighth woman who has been received into the famous order since its foundation in 1802. A glance at the list reminds us how female valor has become recognized side ny side with charity and devotion. tal- ent also not being overlooked. Thus. among the soldiers we find Virginie Ghesquiere, sergeant in the Twenty- seventh regiment of infantry, who ob- tained the much coveted reward in 1808; Marie Schellinck, sublieutenant, who was wounded at Austerlitz and Jena, and Widow Brulon, sublieutenant in the Forty-second regiment of in- fantry. Four vivandieres also figure on the roll, and among the ladies who have done good and noble work Mme. Fur- tado-Heina, Mme. Coralie Cahen, Mine. Koechlin-Schwartz and Mme. Foucher de Careil. Rosa Bonheur, the great painter of animal life. is an officer of the order. and among other praise- worthy entries may be remarked Mme. Abicot de Regis, wife of the mayor of Bizou. —Boston Transcript. This 'Woman Not a Bird. A sympathetic woman. living on In diana avenue, noticed an Italian ped riling birds a few mornings ago. The birds were shut up tight in a box that appeared to be almost airtight. "Wanta nica calla' ?" screeched the man, treating each prospective custom er to a view of the birds by lifting a slat in the top of the box. The old lady belongs to the Audubon society, and it is against her Principles even to wear a bird on her bonnet. "My I think it is simply dreadful to keep those birds shut up like that without a breath of air," she said in a tone of severe disapproval. "Oh, madam," replied the Italian, spreading out his hands in a deprecato- ry way, "don'ta you know a habit of ze birds betta zan eat? Birds Lava no lung. Birds no use air." "Well, I know that if I were a bird I would want some air to breathe," said the old lady. unconvinced, but not very well up on ornithology. "Oh. but, madam," said the Italian, shaking his head sadly and very em- phatically, "yon not a birda!"—Chica- go Inter Ocean. It Is a Pity. Isn't it a pity that so many women fail utterly in understanding and being suitable companions to their husbands? They do not seem able to attempt to even pretend to take an interest iu his hobbies or pleasures, though expecting him to be interested ire their most trivial pursuits or domestic worries. It is a solemn fact that some women seem far more taken up with the shortcom- ings of their cook or housemaid than in the fact that their husband has painted a famous picture or maybe written the bcok of the season. One such wife was heard to remark not long ago concern- ing her husband's picture, "Fancy my horror when I saw that he had painted baby in a torn pinafore and all his broken toys at his feet, just as if we were too poor to buy him new ones." This sort of wife wonders as time goes on what is the reason, when theirs was a love match to begin with. that she and her husband are living such distinctly different lives. Not for one moment, however, does it occur to her that the remedy has always been in her own hands. —Philadelphia Press. Woman SuM711 England. Helen Blackburn, the editor of The Englishwoman's Review. has prepared a little sketch of the woman suffrage movement in England "in the light of the second reading of 1897." It appears that 15 members of parliament allow their name to be used as "parliament- ary advisers to the Woman Suffrage union," which indicates that the move- ment has a dignified standing in the lawmaking body, As Miss Blackburn says, there are a few who really intend that this claim to the vote for women shall succeed. The policy of the Na- tional union is "to place the question of woman suffrage in such a position that no government of whatever party shall be able to touch matters relating to representation without at the sanie time removing the electoral disabilities of women." Evening Hoods. No woman who has a genuine love of dress thinks her life complete now- adays if she does not possess an opera hood and an embroidered card case. The last and prettiest phase of the hood is a large black satin pumpkin shaped cozy, having a band of the softest black fur, either lynx or Russian hare, en- circling the face. and all the bunchy rear fullness overdraped with black net hung with gold colored spangles. The strings that tie on such a head protector are so long that when knotted under the chin their ends fall to the knees, and they are of chiffon or black liberty gauze and are edged with bright spangles. A “Widows' Retreat,' Worcester, Mass., has a "widows' retreat," in which six elderly widows live happily together. The eldest widow is Mrs. Eliza Parker, 91 years old, and the next, Mrs. Susan S.

Scared Into Appendicitis. "1 had apiRndicitis the other day," said a St. Charles street business man; "that is to say, I had it to all intents and purposes. This is the way I con- tracted it: About *week ago I borrow- eda medical work from a friend to look up a point about which I was curious. It was a work on diagnosis. and among other things it gave a minute descrip- tion of the symptoms of appendicitis. I have always been much afraid of the malady, and that chapter bad a hideous fascination for nae. I read it and reread it, and as I did so it seemed to me that some of the premonitory signs coincid- ed exactly with certain aches and pains I had felt for several days. I got alarm- ed at once. and teat night was panic stricken by a seeere cranip a little northeast of my right hip bone. That I knew to be the fatal spot. and. needless to say, I didn't sleep a wink. "By morning I had all the symptoms of a typical case and could scarcely get around to see the doctor. I began to tell him my story when he stopped me. 'How do you come to know so much about the disease?' he asked. "I replied proudly that I had been reading up on it. " ‘The,dickens you have I' he replied. 'Well, you get right out of this office, confound yon, and don't waste any mei' ll of my time!' "Then he explained that every med- ical student always has all the diseases on record, in regular order, just as he studies 'em, and I began to feel better. I went borne, returned the blasted book, and ani now entirely out cf dans ger, thank yon. It was the quickest re- covery on record." — New Orleans Times -Democrat. .4. Queer EXaminsclon. Difficulties of the civil service exami- nations are multiplied tenfold in the requirements set down by law of appli- cants for positions in the mail service of China. In the first place, an applicant must have strength and courage. To acqnire these he goes through a very queer method of training. He wanders through mountains and velleys, forests and caves. The exact time to beoccnpied in a trip is fixed by law, and a heavy fine imposed for unnaceesary delay. He must repeat these trips at night, and if he listens to the bad spirits, and there- by fails to appear at the required time at a certain place he is sues to lose hie rights to a position. This is not all. He is obliged to carry an enormous weigtot for many miles and return with it ithin a given time. No allowance is angle far hi inability to defend himself against thieves and highwaymen, his road mustily leading through a district thick with bandits. In training the candidate eats very little—though he is used to this—and he tries every straining eeercise. Then comes his real examination under the direction of government oficials. He is taken into a long room, where, sus- pended from a high bean with strong ropes, are very heavy sacks filled with rocks. The candidate must gite a swinging motion to all these sacks and then run to and fro between them, carefully guarding sgainet a blow by one of the weights. Curiosities of Journalism. A., paper in India recertly published the following explanation "This is on- ly the beginning of our paper. We were not sure bow muco matter was required to fill it up, and thinking we bad sufficient, we did rot exert our- selves much to get any more. We there- fore beg that our readers 'rill excuse us this time for the space left blank, and we promise to do better and get more in the future." Still more clarions was :be announce- ment of a paper which cane out for the first time with two columns blank, the editor making the bold announcement that "a large quantity of exceedingly interesting matter has leen left out for want of space." When the native edam wants a holi- day, he suspends publication until it is convenient to resume, and, taking bis readers into his confidence, informs them plainly why thci, paper was not is- sued on the expected dates: "With the consent of our readers, we now propose to take our annual holiday. We are sure none of them will begrudge us our relaxation." Twenty Lashes For Six Hairs. A singular theft was tried by Mr. Beale, first class magistrate. Supersti- tious Burmans pull out the hairs of an elephant's tail for talismans, making rings out of them and other charms. One Nge Tun Lin went into an ele- phant's shed at Ahlone and pulled six hairs out of a bull elephant's tail, se- creting them in his umbrella. The ma- hout challenged him, and he promptly shook the hairs out of the umbrella. They fell on some straw, were picked up and put forward in evidence of theft. The man was convicted and sentenced to receive 20 lashes.—Times of Burmah. Mutual Dislike. Brahma and Tschaikowsky, the fa- mous musicians, met but twice. On the last occasion Brahms was sufficiently interested in Tschaikowsky's "Fifth Symphony" to travel expressly to Ham- burg iu order to make its acquaintance. After the performance the distinguished composers dined together, and the con- scientious Brahma frankly admitted that he did not like the work at all; whereupon the usually meek Russian plucked up sufficient courage to inform his host that the dislike of each other's music was mutual. They parted on ex- cellent terms nevertheless. Promising Pupil. Some years ago a well known Amer- ican pianist gave a concert at which he played a duet for two pianos with a pupil. The pupil, a young *limn of great • talent, had come from a small town, and one of the well to do natives of the town went to the city for the sole pur- pose of attending the concert. On his return he was asked what he thought of the young man's musical achieve- ments. "He's doing as well as anybody could wish, and he'll do better yet," replied the prosperous townsman, with deci- Biota "He played a piece with his teacher that was 20 pages long. He gave the teacher the start by five minutes, and then he clipped in, and they came out at the end nip and tuck, if yon'll be- lieve me. Well, sir, when I heard that, I made rip Lay mind we needn't worry another mite about how George would succeed. "His teacher's considered the best piano player in this part of the conn - try, and if George could do what he did at that concert it won't be many years before he'll beat him out and out, you can just rely on that. "I'd be willing to bet, if I was a bet- ting man, that in two years' time that teacher won't dare to undertake one of those two piano pieces with George nnless George gives him a good ten minutes' start of him I " — Youth 's Com- panion. Can't Twiddle Their Thumbs. The gorilla and chimpanzee, which belong to the higher order of apes, have many points of resemblance to man, but there is one thing they cannot do— that is, twiddle their thumbs. In the gorilla the thumb is short and does not reach much beyond the bottom of the first joint of the forefinger. It is very much restricted in its movements, and the animal can neither twiddle his thumbs nor turn them round so that the tips describe a circle. There are the same number of bones in the hand•of a gorilla as in the band of man, but the thumbs of the monkey have no separate flexor or bending must cle. This is why a monkey always keeps the thumb on the same side as the fin- gers and never bends it round any ob- ject that may be grasped. In the gorilla the web between the fingers extends to the second joint, the fingers taper to the tipe, and there is a callcsity on the knuckles on which the animal rests when walking on all fours. There are many other strong points of resemblance between the ape and man, but—well, we wish to be charita- ble hi cui felte4i, mem oad will there- fore drop the subject. A Sarcastic Congressman. Ex -President Benjamin Harrison at a bareenet /told the following story on himself "Judge Martindale has recalled the time when I was the very youngest and very smallest elder, which reminds me of an occurrence at Washington when a number of very anomalo ills for public improvements ere intro- duced. I decided to veto some of them. I remember that there was P New York representative who had an interest in an appropriation of $250,000 for a public building on the Hudson. A friend learned from him that it had been ve- toed. 'See the president,' suggested his friend. The representative responded that that was his intention, and next day went to the White House, where he was informed by the secretary that the president could not be seen. 'Good gracious!' exclaimed the representa- tive. 'Has he got so small as that?' " Cornish Diamonds.

The question is sometimes asked wby some willow baskets soon become brown and discolored while others keep white so much longer. Those that discolor are made from willow from which the bark Was been removed by steaming.

The inveetigati, s of astronomers have nevertheless s..blished one thing as certain—namely, that the sun moves through space at a great speed—csti- mated by some scientists at 16 miles a second—carrying all the planets, satel- lites and other comical bodies alone with it, but this motion of the vast lumina% while affecting, of course. the real motion of the planets in space, does not in even the slightest degree affect the relative motion of enn and planets. Even under the supposition of se great a rate as 16 miles in one second, this relative position of the sun to the fixed stars would, astronomers declare, be hardly perceptible in a century, on account of the almost inconceivable distance of the latter—the conclusion being, therefore, thit many thousands ot years must pass before the sun's proper motion in space can change the config- uration cf the star groups. The Machete. As a'a defensive weapon the value of the machete is small. Even its offensive effect depends less on the weapon itselt than on the continual and skillful usage made of it by the Cuban peasant from his earlier age, which imparts a peculiar training to the muscles of the wrist and arm of the operator. The consequence of this Rhin is that when- ever a quarrel occurs between two "guajiros" or "monetros" they settle the matter with their machetes as cour- ageously and tenaciously as two game- cocks, ancl generally both parties are seriously injured for life or are killed on the spot. Owing to this fact and to the natu- ral kindly disposition of the Cuban peasants, they are not a quarrelsome people and respect everybody, to be equally respected. With the machete a few curious accessories are used. The principal are a thin strip of leather closely tied to the right wrist, a small round piece of grinding stone to sharpen the edge of the tool, and whenever the machete is employed to cut down the thorny heath of tropical vegetation a small branch of special shape, called the "garabato," 18 used to bold the heath and do rapid work without be- ing injured by thorns. —Island of Cuba Magazine. The Resemblance. He was the son of a worthy citizen and had just returned from college. His father was a brusque, matter of fact man, who had no likin'g for any- thing pronounced, and he noticed with sorrow that his son returned with the latest thing in collars and various oth- er insignia of fashion. The old gentle- man surveyed him critically when he appeared in his office and then blurtpd out: "Young man, you look like an idiot 1" Just at that moment, aid before the young man had time to make a fitting reply ,i a friend walked in. "Why, hallo, Billy I Have you return- ed ?" he asked. "Dear me, how much yon resemble your father t" "So he has been telling me," replied Billy. And from that day to this the old gentleman has had no fault to find with his son. A Woman's Bank. The Fifth Avenue National bank of New York has 5,000 women depositors. It is situated at the corner of Forty- fifth street and Fifth avenue, in the midst of the residences of wealthy classes, and is almost exclusively pat- ronized by rich women, who keep their household accounts and pin money there. The receiving tellers are very busy during the first few days of every month, when the patrons of the bank bring in the allowanceilt` they have re- ceived from their husbands or fathers, but the rest of the time they have com- paratively few depositors to take care of, and have plenty of time to assist the paying tellers in cashing checks that have been drawn to meet grocery or dressmakers' bills. A Hank of Hair. Chickens are sold by the piece in Buenos Ayres. They are dressed before being offered for sale, the only feathers left upon them being those of the tail. The same custom prevails in China as to dogs, where a bit of the dog's hair is always left on the end of the tail, even when the animal is cooked. But this is because the Chinese consider the flesh of black dogs the beet and most certain to put a brave spirit into the body of the eater. Animals That Know Roods.

Filters for pnrifying water are of many kindin their mechanical struc- ture, but, ccording to the report of the Maryland state board of health, it would appear that such filters may steadily lose efficiency until they be- come first class culture bed., for bacteria. In evidence of this position an example cited is thst of a man in Baltimore who sends the( whole water supply of his house through a large filter and subse- quently puts his drinking water through one of the small domestic filters com- mon in the market. A test of this arrangement showed that on a day when the city taps were running 510 bacteria to the cubic cen- timeter the large filter was delivering some 9,900 bacteria in the same water. When the large filter was repacked, only 9 •bacteria per centimeter got through it, though this same water when passed tle:ongh the small filter came out with 71 bacteria per centiq meter. This aspect of the =tier is still fur- ther strengthened by another example, a case where a filter supposed to be the best in the market was in use. The effectiveness of this filter was so short lived that the precaution was observed • of boiling the water aftergit was filtered. WhatIle Didn't Know.

Some years ago the late shah, Nasr-i-Din, saw 20 skaters twirling and curling and spinning gracefully on the ice. He was amused. He thought it wonderfnl. The next da' :he sent to the legation and borrowed a dozen pairs of the skates. These he made his ministers pi:al on and attempt to skate on the lake in the palace' grounds. The poor ministers were ter- ribly discomfited, but it was twice as much as their heads were worth to re- fuse. His majesty was more amused than ever, and he nearly had an apo, plectic fit from laughing. Human Heaters. In considering the problem of heat- ing the large department stores which are now to bearfortnd in nearly every big city it is very well worth taking into account the animal heat distributed by the many customers who come into such establishments. That this is con- siderable is evidenced by the experience of at least one engineer, who, in one such case, found that after 9:30 a. as. on a day in midwinter, with the Ther- mometer at the freezing point, no other heat was needed to keep the place warm. This fact, however, emphasizes as well the great need of a good system of gentilation in such buildings, as without it the air would soon become vitiated much beyond any reasonably permissible degree. — Cassier's Maga- zine. Icehouse Fires. Curiously, an icehouse is the most likely place in the world for a fire. In- surance rates are so high on ice sheds as to be almost prohibitive of any policies being taken out. Spontaneous combus- tion is responsible for the fires in ice sheds, according to same authorities. When a layer of ice is melted around the top and sides in summer, an im- mense amount of heat is set free. When conditions are exactly favorable, spon- taneous combustion takes place. Others believe that a zone of warmth and moisture is created by the melting ice and that this attracts lightning. In any Giese an icehouse is a beautiful place for a fire. Rather Close.

SECOND EDITION. The Staples bill providing for the building of an insane hospital at Anoka and the purchase of a site at Hastings passed the house onThursday by a vote of seventy-four to forty- two. The price of the latter, how- ever, was cut from $26,000 to $15,000, and unless the amount is restored some provision will have to be made for the deficiency. The bill will be taken up in the senate on Tuesday. Will contests are notoriously expen- sive. That of Isaac Staples is estima- ted to have cost the parties interested in the neighborhood of $1,500 besides attorneys' fees, and Washington County about $2,000. Under the de- cision of the court he died intestate, and the estate will be distributed ac- cordin�,ly. The senate is wrestling with the bill to parole the Younger brothers. If it becomes a law some of the gentle- men will find it extremely difficult to explain their votes at home. L. G.

Spin- ney as editor of The St. Paul Globe. The Minnesota Commandery of the Loyal Legion sat down to a banquet in theordinary'bf the West Hotel last evening, the occasion being the'regular monthly meeting of the organization. Senior Vice Commander William Leach presided, and the paper of the evening was read by Lieut. J. M. Tucker, of Hastings. Mr. Tucker's subject was With Kurtz Around Petersburg, and the paper proved to be a most vivid account of that bril- ) liant cavalry raid and the work it ac- complished. The Kurtz raid covered more than two hundred miles, and was most successful in the task of destroying railroads and cutting off supplies. During the reading of this paper Mr. Tucker remarked, i..cideut- .:ffasm+-eieetiesa., j ri the Thirteenth Minnesota at M.miia, r and that he took great pride in the fact that neither of them had ever written home a single word of complaint re- garding their treatment or their ra- tions. This statement was greeted with prolonged applause, one of the geutlemen present remarking that he thought those boys must be made of the right stuff for soldiers.—Minneap- olis Tribune, 15th. The bill introduced into the house Tuesday providing for the location of an asylum for the insane in each county was killed. To the average person such a plan appears unpractic- al. Summed up one side and down the other it will be found that only a few counties would favor such a plan of caring for their insane. A few coun- ties would be benefited at an expense to the balance of the state. If we must have more asylums, locate one at each Anoka and Hastings. Crazy houses all over the state is no partic- ular drawing card and might tend to intimidate the volume of civilization coming to the state. i creamery would be more appropriate in this county. Anyway the climate in this section is not good for lunatics.—Mora Times. After a lively debate Saturday in the house of representatives, during which a good deal of bad blood was shoeeu, the Staples bill providing for the appointment of a legislative com- mittee to make an investigation, dur- ing the recess, as to the advisability of putting all of our state correctional and charitable institutions under the management of a board of control, was killed. Whatever may be thought of the bill itself, the personal reflec- tions made on its author were unjusti- fied.

Some of the populist and democratic newspapers indignantly deny that Bryan charged $500 for attending the St. Paul banquet. The statement that he demanded such a sum was made by members of the local com- mittee having the banquet in charge, and has never been expressly and specifically denied by them. That being apparently Mr. Bryan's only source of revenue at the present time, we see no reason why he should not soak the St. Paul democrats just as he would those of any other locality who desired his presence and wanted to provoke him into a discussion.— Princeton Union.

One of the sources of food for in beautiful lakes and streams of M nesota are the crutacea or small s fish which once were so abundant the sandy and pebbly bottoms of 1 and river beds, but the great fresh by bringing in the large quanti of rich soil from the land, have m a deposit of mud and ooze which destroyed the crustaces, and another great source of food for has been destroyed, and the tiller the soil and the angler have both b injured. The volume of water been reduced not only by the eve ration and drying up of springs a other sources of water supply of wh we have spoken, consequent on for destruction, but the water bed been filled up from the bottom a rendered shallower. And can we w der that our streams and lakes growing shallower, and that so have ceased to exist altogether, wh we consider that two factors tendi to reduce the water supply are c stantly at work on our lakes a streams at the same time, one to up from the bottom and the other reduce the quantity of water at t surface. Have any of you gentlemen ev waded a trout brook in a region whe the trees have mostly been destroyed, as the once famous neighboring Kin- nikinnick, whence so many trout were taken twenty years ago, and notice that the once deep boles have been mostly filled up with the deposits of soil from the neighboring fields, and that now for twenty- miles of ite course is nearly of uniform shallow- ness, while once it kad its great variety of shallow and deep places? Compare such a stream as this with its monotonously even depth of water with the few streams of northern Minnesota and Wisconsin, where the axe -man has not felled the timber, and note the difference in the depth of the water bed. I have waded the Kinnikinnick for miles in my hip boots without once getting out of the water or even getting in over my boots tops; while in forest streams of northern Minnesota or Wisconsin of half the volume of water I have been forced to get out of the water every few rods on account of the impassably deep holes (I was always willing 'to get out, for in these deep holes we get the trout.) But few more years of forest destruction in Minnesota and Wisconsin will soon cause the deep holes in the streams to be filled up and the trout will disappear rapidly enough. It is a conceded fact that a treeless country, whenever it has rains, has freshets and inundations. Without forests to hold back the water it at once runs off in torrents, filling the streams more than bank high, and with its resistless current sweeping spawn and young fish away from their habitats, leaving many on the shore to perish with the receding waters and carrying other's to the larger lakes and rivers where they are readily de- voured by the larger fish. One sweep- ing freshet in a trout brook will ofter work such serious loss to the spawn and smaller trout as to seriously in- jure the fishing for years. And you know how the flooding of logging streams will in a few years almost ex- terminate the trout. fish in - hell on ake ets, ties ade has 80 fish of een has po- nd ich est has nd on - are me en ng on- nd fill to he the favorite borne of numberless flies and insects, and these with each breeze fall into the water and supply that insect food which fish most enjoy. We must remember that our better varieties of fish are not content with one variety of food throughout the year. Catfish, dogfish, and reptiles may be the scavengers of the waters and swallow greedily whatever they can find, but our noblest fish, lake trout, bass, and pike, demand a variety of food and are often very select in their tastes. In the spring they may feed along the shore line of the water and on the bottom, but la- ter in the season when flies and insects appear they want them. It is this love of fish for flies and insects which is the secret of fly fishing, the acme of the angler's art. And this love of fish fur flies and insects explains very largely the reason why the worm fish- erman in the hot months of summer may wade the brook for hours with scarcely a bite, while at the same season of the year and out of the same water the angler with his artificial fly delicately cast will in early moruing or in the hour before sunset display a creel of speckled beauties. What angler is there who has not from a er concealed spot watched the fish under re the protection of some overshadowing tree jumping at the flies and insects as they fell into the water? And have net all of us caught our largest trout, tie trout of which we boast and in patching of which we made our record, under the shadow of trees or out from under a cover made by the trees of bushes? And not only this, bu; the trees make the shady a:,1 hoist banks from whence come worms and grubs, and under these mossy- lacks we know the fish are concealed ready to dart at their prey. All klow that the shade of over- hangingtrees is agreeable to the fish, and one need only to place a quantity of brusl. in a stream or lake and make a cover and see how quickly the fish make it a resort to be convinced that fish like shade. What tyro does not know that a shady deep pool is a good fishing Ioint? And what experienced fisherman is there who when he goes upon a stream or pond does not al- most invariably find that the fish have left the hot and unprotected shore and have taken to the shady side, and so he casts his worm or fly on the shady side. It is a well known fact that the best fishing is where a fore is near the short, and best of, all where the limbs overhang the water. Not only do the ties afford shelter, furnishing food and preventing evaporation, but at the sane time they keep the water clear ant cool in the summer. In winter tte forests afford protection by lessening the severity of the winter frosts, and in all forest regions the changes if temperature are not so se- vere as is treeless countries and on the open )lain; and the effect upon the water is even greater. It is a popular slying in Denmark of the forest streams that they are cool i the summer and warm in the winter as compared with the atmosphere. This trutl is not confined to Denmark, for it is tie experience of woodsmen everywhere. The diminution of the volume of water in our lakes consequent upon forest destruction also militates against the fish in two other very serious ways. First, as the water be- comes shallower often freezing nearly to the bottom, the fish have less free- dom and air space beneath the ice in winter (for be it remembered all fish must have oxygen from the air) and many of them are frozen to death or suffocated; and second, as the waters of a lake diminish and it becomes shallower, the shore line, which is a great feeding ground for all fish at different seasons of the year, is greatly reduced, and their source of food is very materially diminished. 'As a rule small fish are usually found in small ponds and large fish in large bodies of water; the reason being that the limited shore line of small bodies of water does not yield the relative quantity of food contained in lakes having a large shore line and con- sequently relatively larger feeding grounds. The best lake fishing is found in those lakes which abound in deep waters and which have a large shore line for feeding grounds, like Lake Minnetonka and Lobster Lake, in Douglas County. It is this tact which in the past made Minnetonka one of the very best fishing lakes that ever existed. But Minnetonka's glory as a fishing lake has departed, and will not return again until the forestry association's work of refor- esting has been accomplished. FRANK H. CARLETON. The District Court.

The senior reporter had the au- dacity to insinuate in the last issue of The Gazette that the members of the junior class were instrumental in tak- ing the harness belonging to a member of the senior class. The junior class wish to inform the public and seniors that no junior will stoop so low. The idea of a joke in our class is not of that nature. Our desire for plunder- ing is not so great. It is within bounds. He had no grounds for the insinuation whatever; it is unfounded. At that period the' members of the juniors class were too busy mastering Cicero, history, and geometry. The senior class feel their position in school to be omnipotent, but never- theless the juniors have been instruct- ed not to look to them for models, that the seniors might better cast back their eyes. "For 'tis a common preof that loveliness is young ambi- tion's ladder:" "Whereto the climber upward turns his face, But when he once attains the utmost round He then unto the ladder turns his back Looks in the heaven, scorning the base degrees by which he did ascend." The junior class is recognized by the school yea, by the teachers, as the hardest working, most promising class now in school. They have entirely refrained from amusement this winter, even lectures. They are in good financial standing, owing no one, having money in their treasury. Their class meetings are conducted in most exemplary manner, with the ex- ception of occasional incursions by the seniors in their craving desire for plundering and pillaging. Further- more we wish to inform the public that the confinement of the juniors to the basement was decidedly voluntary, having important business to transact, their meeting was call$d and business transacted. Upon going down town not a senior with the exception of one was in sight, and he turned and fled. Ja NIoRs. Base Ball.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in• flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, bearing will be destroyed forever; nine oases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall'aCatarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. Sold by druggists 75c. F. J.

This remedy is intended especially for coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough, and influenza. It has become famous for its cures of these diseases, over a large part of the civilized world. The most flattering testimonials have been received, giving accounts of its good works; of the aggravating and persistent coughs it has cured; of severe colds that have yielded promptly to its soothing effects, and of the dangerous attacks of croup it has cured, often saving the life of the child. The extensive use of it for whooping cough has shown that it robs that dis- ease of all dangerous consequences. Sold by J. G. Sieben. C. E. Norbeck, of La Crosse, and W. D. Lowry and J. J.

The Frank Yanz block, corner of Second and Ramsey Streets, was discovered on fire last Sunday, about eleven p. m., which ap- peared to have started in the rear of the first floor, near the elevator, fol- lowed by some kind of an explosion, which alarmed the neighborhood. The fishes shot up the elevator and spread through the interior of the west half of the building, the thirteen inch brick wall preventing them from extending o the east half, and the excellent service of the department kept the fire in. check and saved the adjacent property. The grocery stock of Mr. Yanz is a total loss, estimated in the nei hborhood of $5,000. In the third story was the elegant new hall of Hastings Lodge No. 48, A. 0. U. W., which loses $600 in furniture and fixtures, together with its records of the past eight years. Supt. C. W. Meyer had a portion of his school furniture stored in the second story, losing between $70 and $80, with no insurance. The loss upon building is difficult to estimate, and will not be exactly known uutil it is restored to its former condition. The walls are apparently not materially injured, which will reduce the cost of repairs to the minimum. The west half was i nsured for $1,500 in the Williams- burg City and $1,000 in the Liverpool and London and Globe. Mr. Yanz's insurance on stock was $1,500 in the Concordia and $1,000 in the Connecti- cut. The damage to the east half is not very heavy, and fully covered by insurance. The Workmen had $400 insurance in the London Assurance Corporation of New York. The first floor of the east half was occupied by Benjamin Hargreaves, confectionery, and the second by M. W. Taplin and Mrs. Mary Eatherly as residences. Their goods were some- what damaged by removal. The third story was the dining room of Workmen Hall, which was sublet to Vermillion Falls Council No. 1583, Court Gardner No. 3149, Hastings Camp No. 4747, and Hastings Lodge No. 59. These societies lost consid- erable in the way of charters, records, regalia, and other paraphernalia, with no insurance. They have made ar- rangements for temporary quarters in G. A. R. Hall, Hanson's Block. The fire was a bad one for all con- cerned, but might easily have been a great deal worse.

"Puts nie in mind of old man Fr man," said Mr. Teakwood reflectiv as he shaved a keener edge on t wooden sword he was making a sighted along the blade with a disce ing eye. Old man Bolivar tilted his chair ba at a more reassuring angle and clasp to his hands about his knees in an ea attitude fuer listening. George Smi ceased the soft drawl which he h been droning into the ears of the sto keeper, and Pendarvis brought in h buggy cushions and made himself co fortable on a cracker box. "Well, what abont ole man Fre man 1" asked George Smith at last an exasperated way. "Ole man Freeman, he's back on t ole place, " the story teller finally b gan, "an that boy o' his'n, that Ji he's in the little cabin on the Hi Wa ters place, that cabin where the gal'ry done fell in." "What made lin,move?" aske George Smith, whose eakness it w to try to help along with fatuous que tions. "I been a-knowin old man Freema for nigh on to a real long time," pn sued Mr. Teakwood meditatively, "a it lookt to me like he could do a might good job now if he could go back a bring upboys over his e again. It's pow erfnl pity, it seems like to me, tha a man can't have but oae chance t raise his children, an if they don't see to pan out right that time there ain no more show for him. I reckon it wa a mighty, -.bad year when ole man Free man's boys begin to grow up." "They was a -plenty o 'em, sech a they was," remarked olman Boliva with quite nnuenal an unexpecte candor. "The ole man had seven /toys," Mr. Teakwood went on, with a dry inward elrrt-hia er some menitry;-'' if the ul folks had a raised 'em right he coni a s -t back in his easy cheer an neve done no more work as long as he lived He did -try the easy cheer game, but i was ererlastin'ly too late. Them boy had grew np to think that the air: was pretty much made so's they court have a good time an nothin to do. "They ain't one o' them seven boy that's worth killin today, an the ole man's workin harder today than he did 25 year ago. "But I reckon ie thought Jim was goin to Le somethin. 'Long last winter Jim began to shine up to one o' them Foratall girls—the one with the turn up �� 1nose—an it would 'a' made anybody plum sick to have saw the way the ole man took on. " 'I tell you, they's outcome to that boy o' aline, that Jim,' he says to me, rnbbin his hands together, pleased as pie. 'You wouldn't 'a' thought, -they was that mach spunk in Jim, would you ? An there he is, sparkin up to that girl, n her gran'pa was a member o' the 1 islater I Ars shore as yer livin Jim'll b in the legislates himeslf some day, fnrkhe's got the nerve to try it.' "It"pears like I come to know all 'bout this Freeman business kinder ac- cidental like. Yon see, long middlin airly las' spring I got ole Nance one day an rade over to ole Freeman's for to borrer his harrer. I was a-gittin my garden 3'eady, an it was that grassy it was plum bonn for to be harrered. "When I got over there, Squire Diggs an some more men was jes' ridin away, 1, an the ole man met me in the gal'ry lookin like he'd been a-cryin an says he: " 'I'm a-fixin for change, Lije,' says he. `Jim's a-goin to get married Sun- day, an me an the old woman is jes' deeded this place, an him an his wife is a-goin to take keer o' us the balance o' our days. Yon don't know how happy it makes me feel. I'm a-goin to have me a big cheer an set out here in the #al'ry where I kin watch the cows goin to paster, an Jim plowin in the fur field, an where the ole man kin listen to Jim's wife potterin onnd the house, yon know, an I kin kinder oversee an tell him how to do things, fur Jim don't know so pesky much about armin.' " 'Yon better hol' on to that deed till you die,' says I in a warnin voice, 'and let the takin keer come first,' an, gra- cious, the ole man was so mad he come mighty nigh not lettin me have theharrer. "Well, shore enough, Jim he married an brung his wife home an got his deed safe an so, an for a good while ever'thing was as nice as pie. Ever' time I passed there the ole man an ole wom- an 'u'd be settin up in the gal'ry in two big cheers, lookin like they owned the earth an a good sized chunk o' the 1 goon, Stid o' fadin away an dyin as any- body'd 'a' thought they'd 'a' done, the ole man an ole woman begin to pearten np an git fat When I went over there along in June for to take the harrer home, the ole man said he h'lieved he was good for 15 more years yet. "Jim an his wife heerd it, an 'twasn't long after that before Jim's wife begin to fix for settlin the old folks' hash. She got awful mad because the ole man thawed terbaccer, an she jes' couldn't stand it, nohow, an she couldn't eat at the table with either of 'em because a ee- ely he nd rn- ck ed sy th ad re - ie m- e- in he e- t- 's - 'S d as s. n r - n y n a 0 m 8 s r d e d r t s h d 8 they e't with their kniveB n she made 'em move into one o' t� back shed rooms because their snorin disturbed her, an when, about a month ago the ole woman got sick, she jes' ripped an she snorted, Jim's wife did, an said they'd better hunt some other quarters, for she was plum tired o' waitin on 'em. "When the ole man heerd that he natchally chimed in, an 'twan't long before she was a-screamin an goin intc highstrikes, an sayin that she was in- sulted in her own house, an other things llk(that. "Jim, he heerd the ro'- an he come a-t'arin in an says, 'Dad,^1 can't stand this no longer. You 'n' uia'll hafter git out.' Awful backwoodsy feller, Jim was. Always seemed like he conldn't take no polish. " '(lit out ? We'll hafter git out, will we?' yells the ole man an before you could morn'n wink he jrps on to Jim an throws 'im down, an cht up along the wall for the waggin whip that was hangin up under the gun, 'lowin to use ire handle on Jim. "The whip was onten reach, but he grabbed the tongs, that was hangin np at the end o' the +chimbley board, an he give that boy sech a larrupin with them tongs as ain't never been heerd on in this part o' the moral heritage. "He beat Jim, the ole man did, till he promised to deed the place back, an then he set on 'im an held 'im down while one o' the hands went for 'Squire Diggs an some witnesses, an one of 'em was me. The minute the deed was made the ole man says to Jim: 'Now bring the waggin roan', an be quick about it, too, for you're goin to light out tonight. The ole woman an me's gittin middlin anxious to have the place to ourselves. Step lively, now.' "An Jim, he moved into that cabin on the Hi Watters place." "It 'pears to me like it was all the fault o' Jim's Wife," said old man Bolivar reflectively. "If a man once begins to allow his wife to boss, there ain't no Yelp for him after that. Jim never had no sperrit nohow." "That's the way it strike e," re- joined Mr. Teakwood meditate ely. "These things has got to be done right in the first place or yon might as well let 'em alone. Women's queer critters, the best you can do with 'em, an if yon oncet let 'em git the upper hand they're a-goin to keep it, yon hear me.

" Into the silence that fell as the soft drawl ceased came the cry of the whip- poorwill. sent back in softer echoes from the distant hills. Then a head was thrust into sight at the doorway, its sunburned countenance all one wfide .grin, and the boy accompanying the head suggested as he came into full vi ew: "Pa, they was $-lookin for yon np at the house." "Is that so?" cried the stern discipli- narian. rising with such celerity that he stepped on the cat. "I reckon I'd better be a-goin. I'd a -gone bei re now if I'd a-knowed that Ellen was a-lookin for me." "I reckon I'd better be a-goin, too," said old man Bolivar, glancing appre- hensively along the shadowy road. "I didn't let Mandy know when I`ovas a-comin, an she might be uneasy."— Buffalo Times. St. Distaff's Day. The ' *h of January, which follows Twe .t 'lay, was in old tim jokingly called t :. Distaff's day because the spinning was supposed to be resumed, says the Baltimore Sun. The plowmen, who were not so will- ing to re:ume their occupations as the women v:ere theirs, nsed to set the flax on fire, in consequence of which the women would throw pails of water up. on them. In early days ladhzb of high degree, as well as farmers' wives and daugh- ters, were accustomed to handle the dis- taff and spindle, and the latter were the emblems of womanhood. The fol- lowing little stanza is appropriate to the season: Partly work and partly play You must work on St. Distaff's day. From the p ow soon free your team, Then comtp' home and fother them. If the miingds a•spinning go, Burn the flax and fire the tow. Bring in pails of water then; Let the maids bewash the men; Give St. Distaff all the right. Dickens and the Children. Writing in The Century on Charles Dickens' interest in the cause of educa- tion, Mr. James L. Hughes says: He was the first great English stu- dent of Froebel. He deals with 19 dif- ferent schools in his books. He gives more attention to the training of child- hood than any other novelist or ,tiny other educator except Froebel. He was one of the first Englishmen to demand national control of education, even in private schools, and the thorough train- ing of all teachers. He exposed 14 types - of coercion and did more than any one else to lead Christian men and women to treat children humanely. Every book he wrote except two isitch in educa- tional thought. He took the most ad- vanced position on every phase of mod- ern educational thought except manual training. When he is thoroughly un- derstood, he will be recognized as the Froebel of England. Plasters and Cats. Although court plaster is useful in protecting small scratches or abrasions of the skin from harm, it should not be nsed over any considerable cut or wound in process of healing. These will heal much faster if simply covered with a bit of soft linen held in place at the ends with strips of surgeon's plaster. No Liking For Angels. A little girl whose mother left her alone at night after telling her the room was full of angels' was heard saying to her doll: "Now, dollie, yon mustn't be afraid. The room is all full of angels. It beats the devil how afraid I am of angels, "—Trained Motherhood. French judges and judicial officials are prohibited by the etiquette of their profession from riding in an omnibus.

To those who are ever sighing for a chance to better themselves I would say: Keep your eyes open for opportu- nities, and Jif you have any abilities the time will almost surely come when yon can display them. But do not worry and fret and fame over yonr work, do not believe yon wete<made for better things and spend you/✓time rebelling against your lot. Instead make the best of the situation and go ahead. En- courage in yourself the habit of read- ing. Do not fly from one book to an- er, but try to familiarize yourself with what is elevating and refining in literature. It is not the number of books you read, but how you read them, that helps you. Good books are the best friends that yon can have, and the best nse that you can make of your spare moments will be to spend then with these safe and silent counselors. Let industry, adaptability and cheer- fulness characterize your work, and then somebody will say to yon, ell done, thou good and faithful servant.'

Truly, women are becoming free and independent. Not long ago I noticed the fact that women were becoming more congenial to each other, citing as an example the difference between the hour after dinner, when the men re- main behind over their wines and ci- gars, today, as compared with that dreary hour a decade ago. But I bad not then heard of the latest step toward independence of poor man, which has become such a fad among the\ women of today. The very newest fad' is a dinner to which not one man is in- vited—a kind of Adamless Eden sort of a feast. Will it last? Are the women strong enough to do away entirely with man's society and find unalloyed pleasure in their own? This is a conundrum which remains to be solved. In the meantime, to be at the top notch of fads in swell- dom at least one Adamless dinner must be_given during the season. —Exchange. She Was the Woman.

A few years ago an inquiry was addressed to the chief justice and the judges of the state supreme court asking how it had work- ed. All concurred in substance with Judge W. A.

Baldness seldom occurs among people who have thick hair and skins. It is the distinguishing characteristic of thin scanty hair and thin skin. So long a the hair cells are alive the hair that i in poor condition may be benefited greatly b TIMELY RECIPES. tnelading Tempting Methods of Segtl/a' ing Egg, and Vegetables. Poached Eggs With Celery.—Buttslt as many rounds of toast as there are ins- ' dividuals to serve. On each round place sa egg poached in boiling water, con, somme, milk or chicken liquor ane nicely trimmed. Fill in the center t the dish with cooked celery, dressed iI; cream sauce; garnish with green celery leaves and fringed celery. Celery In Cream Sance.—Cook one pint of celery, cut into inch lengths, in boiling salted water until tender. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt and a dash of white ' pepper; cool and add half a cup of the water in which the celery was cooked, and, when ready to serve, half a cup of cream and the pieces of celery To Fringe Celery.—Cut the stalks into pieces about two inches in length. At each end, beginning on the round side, with a thin sharp knife divide into as many sections as possible; then score the stalk lightly in the opposite direction. Let the pieces of celery stand with a slice of lemon in a dish of ice water. Canned Peas with Egg. —Rinse, drain and rinse again in boiling water one can of peas. Add two tablespoonfuls of butter and, when melted, sprinkle in one teaspoonful of sugar, half a tea- spoonful of salt and a dash of white pepper. Beat the yolk of an egg, dilute with four tablespoonfuls of cream and stir into the peas. Do not allow the mixture to boil, but serve as soon as the egg thickens slightly. Fricasseed Eggs and Onions.—Slice six hard boiled eggs. Cut a large, mild per treatment When the hair cells are once d(lnd, there is no way of making hair grow again. Dandruff is merely dried scales of the skin of the head and only exists where the scalp is dirty or unhealthy. When the hair is thin, soft, fine and comes out easily, it should be brushed very lightly if at all. It should, how- ever, be loosened and lifted with the fingers each night before retiring, and the scalp should be gently massaged or rubbed softly with the tips of the fin- gers. One "f the best applications for dry hair tid hair that is thinning is vase - line. It, and all applicaQions should be applied not on the hair, lint on the scalp at the roots of the hair, and should be rubbed into the scalp. Coarse, strong, oily hair may be washed weekly, but fortnightly is gen- erally often enough. Delicate, thin, dry hair should not be washed with soap oftener than once a month or once in two months. If applications of cold water be made to the roots of the hair, the hair should not be wet in the proc- ess. Part the hair here and there over the scalp and put the water on with•the tips of the fingers, a toothbrush (bought and kept for the purpose) or if small sponge at the roots. Combs and hairbrushes should, how- ever, be washed weekly. Use a tea- spoonful of ammonia in a basinful of warm water. Move combs and brushes np and down in the water till they are clean, then rinse in clear, lukewarm water, wipe with a towel a -dry in the open air, out of the dust. It is an nnpleasant truth that most hairbrushes and combs are literally filthy. When I read about cleansing brushes in flour, see women nse public combs and brushes in public toilet rooms, see one general family comb and brush in the country kitchen, I wonder what the women who sin in these particulars can be thinking of, says a writer who makes the foregoing statements in The Gen- tlewoman and recommends the follow- ing as a good stimulant for the hair Bay rum, one pint ; tincture cantharides, one dram; castor oil. one ounce; res- orcin, one dram. Rub well into the roots of the hair two or three times a week. Coiffure Ornaments.

The bow on the left side of the illustration is a Louis X 7 bow of pink stiffened ribbon and silver, which is stuck into the hair. The one beneath it is of silver tissue. The one in the center is a hairpin with head of rosettes formed of narrow gatha ered and plaited velvet. Beneath it is a pin headed with a pair of Mercury wings in white feathers, lightly span- gled with steel. The right hand pin at the top is headed with a rosette of gauze ribbon surmounted with smaller rosettes of the seine. The pin beneath it is headed with a rosette of nile green or pink gauze, surmounted by two fancy feath- ers. Fish as Food. t, In relation to the widespread notion that fish contains a large proportion of phosphorus and on that account is par- ticularly valuable as brain food, a bul- letin of the national department of ag- riculture states that in specimens thus far analyzed the percentages of phos- phorus are not larger than are found in the flesh of other animals nsed for food. But, even if the flesh be richer in phos- phorns, there is no experiment 1 evi- dence to warrant the assnmptio t that flsh is more valuable than meat or oth- er food material for the nourishment of the brain. Fish contains the same kind of nutri- ents as other food materials. It is essen- tially a nitrogenous food and in this re- spect resembles meat. Neither fish nor meat is a source of carbohydrates. Oys- ters contain some carbohydrates, but the foods which supply this group of nutrients most abundantly* are the cereal grains. Fish, meat, egts, milk, etc., also cereals and vegetable foods, all sup- ply fat, the amount varying in the dif- ferent materials. Artificial digestion experiments made with fish indicate that it is less quickly digested than beef, being about equal to lamb in this respect. Pineapple Pancake. A delicious pineapple pancake is men- tioned by an exchange as made by the Germans: Make a plain, thin batter of eggs, flour and milk and pour this into a big buttered frying pan, hot enough to begin the baking at once. As soon as the batter spreads out cover with a lay- er of stewed pineapple, not too juicy, and dredge with powdered sugar. Put the pan in a hot oven and bake for eight or ten minutes, until brown and well done. Cut the cake into triangular pieces and serve hot. The Best of Proof.

The question of when and how to shake hands with guests has been the subject of much dispute in the United States. where, as one woman declared in speaking of it, "no standard for hos- pitality prevails," and no one ever knows whether or not the bow of the hostess is supposed to be cordial enough to imply the handshake that in any other country would go with a greet- ing. A solution of this difficulty is offered by what is said to bo the latest rule for handshaking. 4A hostess should shake hands with every guest who comes to her house, whether her own friend or the friend of her friend, both on their arrival and departure. A young girl introduced to an older woman should await the action of the elder, who, if kindly disposed, will shake hands. Any man presented to a woman—unless he is decidedly elderly or distinguished—must wait for her to make a movement toward shaking hands, and when one woman presents to another the man who is accompany- ing her it is the duty of friendship as well as hospitality for the man to be met with a cordial handshake. Ordinarily, however, women are not supposed to shake hands with men where they are presented to them. This holds good even at a dinner party, where a woman for the first time meets the man who is to take her in to din- ner. —New York Tribune. Wonsan and Fashion. Tall girls are all the vogue. In one of New York's most fashionable dancing classes the girls almost without excep- tion are over 5 feet 10 inches. Boston has started a training school —said to be the first of its kind in this country—for nursery maids. "No women in the world are so well informed about dressmaking or so well dressed as the American women. Some- body will say, 'The Frenchwomen dress better.'

Efforts of the Agricultural Depart-. went In Cross Fertilisation. The agricultural department has been experimenting in the cross fertilization of oranges. says the Washington Star, in the hope of producing one or more varieties that will resist the attacks of frost and that will possess the other gualitietenot found in the fruit today. The practical part of the work is be- ing conducted under the supervision of H. J. Webber and W. T. Swingle, Spe- cial agents of the division of vegetable physiology and pathology Up to the present the experimental processes have been productive of the results expected, but the most interest- ing and delicate stages are yet to coma In the greenhouse .there are at least 1.00 hybrid growths from the seeds alai have been crossed, and next spring many of these will be taken to the sonthern states anclik grafted on the orange trees growing there. Then at least tbree years must elapse before the grafted trees will begin to bear the fruit that is to be hardy. sweet. loose skinned and perhaps seedless. In 1892 Messrs. Webber and Swingle were in the south: studying the diseases that affect oranges. and the need of a hardier orange than the usual varieties was brought to their attention This was emphasized by the disastrous frosts of 1894 and 1895 The growers had songht to overcome their foe by select- ing for planting and development seeds from only the hardiest of the trees growing in their fields. but even these succumbed to the severe attacks of the invading cold. In the meantime experiments con- ducted by Mr Webber in this city eturned out unfavorably. through no fault of his own. It was not until 1897 that he succeeded in hybridizing the orange in a way to insure the favorable result of planting or grafting He had found. prior to the hybridizing. that the Japanese trifoliate orange. although its fruit is small and of little value ex- cept for preserves. is decidnous and so hardy that it can be grown without protection as far north as Philadelphia. A number of these trees had been plant- ed in therdepartment grounds and in spite of the cold had borne fruit, emall and bitter It occurred to him to cross the Japanese variety with the different kinds that flourish in the south to get the hardy quality The practical work of hybridizing then commenced If the seedlings that are grafted on the southern trees develop a fruit that cannot be killed in blossom or maturity by the winters in that section. the scien- tists will -feel that they have been suf- ficiently repaid for all their effort* Orange growing then would not be at- tended by the great risks that now en- compass it. In addition. if a hardy orange can be produced that will live in the north and yet have the sweetness and juiciness of the southern fruit. then the work of nature will have been wholly improved by the hand and in- telligence of man Motion of the Sun. An astronomical fact, now as former- ly causing no little perplexity to some, is that the sun's motion—which un- questionably and indisputably is ex- tremely quick—does not change the relative position of the solar system to the fixed stars and the constellations more than it actually does, and there are some who on this acconnt are in- clined to doubt the actual motion (if the sun in space. The investigations of astronomers have nevertheless estab- lished one thing' as certain—namely. that the sun moves through space at a great speed—estimated by some scien- tists at 16 miles a second—carrying all the planets. satellites and other cosmical bodies along with it. but this motion of the vast luminary. while affecting of course the real motion of the planets in space. does not in even the slightest de- gree affect the relative motion of sun and planets. Even under the supposi- tion of so great a rate as 16 miles in one second. this relative position of the sun to the fixed stars would, astrono- mers declare, be hardly perceptible in a century on account of the almost in- conceivable distance of the latter. the conclusion being. therefore. that many thousands of years mnst pass before the sun's proper motion in space can change the configuration of the star groups —New York Sun. Telegraphic Typewriter. An invention recently exhibited at a conversazione of the British Royal so- ciety seems likely. so far as private house to house calls are concerned, to supersede the telephone. This contriv- ance is a telegraphic recorder. without a battery. . invented by a Mr. Stelges. It requires no -skill and typewrites the message on the desk of the receiver while retaining an identical copy in the hands of the -sender It is such a revo- Intien in telegraphy that the postoffice, on the advice of W H. Preece. has adopted it and will install it wherever required by the public at a small cost. Tbe home secretary bas just sanctioned its introduction to Scotland Yard. where 40 instruments have already been or- dered The new telegraphy transmits a message or signal and makes a perma- nent and indisputable record of the order sent. and the fact that it is independent of batteries will make it very useful in warm climates. For Mr Rhodes. in his Cape Town to Cairo connection. this should prove most valuable. and it is understood that Dr Jameson's present visit to England is concerned with se • curing the concession for Africa. There are 26 pen#1 works in Bavaria, of which 28 are in Nuremberg, the great European center of the lead pen- cil trade. These factories employ from 8,000 to 10,000 workers and produce 4,800,000 lead and colored chalk pencils every week. PASSING OF WROUGHT IRON. How Steel IN Supplanting It In All Forms. With the resistless force of a glacier but with a rapidity which is only slightly appreciated steel is now sup- planting all forms of wrought iron, says The Iron Age. Forcible arguments in favor of iron for cert., in purposes may be made, numerous engineers may con- tinue to specify iron for special classes of work to which they consider it is better fitted than steel, and prejudice may incline the masses of ironworkers to prefer the material which can be welded with least tronble, but the day is near at hand when wrought iron will be an exceedingly scarce commodity. Arguments, preferences and prejudices are equally powerless to stop the ad- vance of the metal which can so much more easily be produced in large quan- tities than wrought iron. Complaints continue to be heard among mechanics of hard spots in 'steel which make it of an uncertain charac- ter in working, as, for instance, in threading pipe; of its occasional unsat- isfactory behavior in holding a coat of other metal, as in the case of galvan- ized steel sheets and of its compara- tively rapid oxidation when exposed to the weather or to the reaction of water. For such reasons a reaction of more or less strength is from time to time noted in favor of wrought iron, but the greater cost of puddled holism compared with steel silences the complaints, the steel- maker sedulously endeavors to turn out a more reliable product, and steel con- tinues to preserve its ascendency. The end of this century, which is now near at hand, will, in the estima- tion of even those who are deeply inter- ested in wrought iron, see the end of wrought iron as a distinctive designa- tion, except perhaps in the case of a Swedish iron or some other high priced iron specialty. Ordinary bar iron will have completely disappeared from the trade. It is becoming increasingly diffi- cult to secure material from which to manufacture genuine bar iron. Scrap has long been the chief dependence of the bar iron tuanufacturer. who is pro- hibited by its cost from using puddled iron except for those who insist upon having muck bar iron without regard to price. Earth Cure. Pastor Kneipp's famous water cure, it seems, has found a powerful rival in the new curative principles applied by another German priest, Pastor Felke of Mous. in Rhenish Prussia. Not water, but earth is his shibboleth, and as a theologian he bases his panacea on Bib- lical doctrine. The Bible telling us that man was created out of earth, by earth alone can his ills, the consequence of sin, be cured. Accordingly Rev. Felke prescribes mud plasters for all cases of skin disease, blood poisoning, swell- ings, pain, broken limbs and internal contlaints as well. Open wounds he anoints with clay. In order to "provide free play for the terrestrial magnetism tu its task of extracting useless stuffs from the body and replacing them with new," he directs all his patients to sleep at night on a bed of earth. In the morning he prepares a mud bath for them in a hole dug in the ground, and then he sends tbem off on a "constitu- tional." His eccentric method of treat- ment, of course, attracts a growing multitude of believers. Pilgrims come from all parts of Westphalia, the Rhine districts and Holland. A medical estab- lishment for the honing of bis patients was to be erected, when, unfortunately for Pastor Felke, the police interfered and the ecclesiastical authorities were asked to forbid the priest's further ac- tivity as a medicine man. The number of his disciples is meanwhile increasing and Kneipp's successors had better look out for their laurels. Meanwhile a mon- ument is being erected to Father Kneipp at Woerishofen.—Baltimore Sun. • • Silk From Gelatin. A new artificial silk, manufactured from gelatin, an invention of Professor J. J. Hummel , of Yorkshire college, Leeds, England. bas just been submit- ted to the Swiss silk manufacturers for their judgment. A reservoir containing gelatin in liquid form is kept at such a temperature that the gelatin will not harden. The top of the reservoir con- taiis many small holes, through which the gelatin passes in fine streams and Is received on an endless band of linen. The gelatin hardens and presents threads of uniform thickness and bril- liant Surface, ready to be wound on spools. The whole apparatus is said to require but little attention, the only thing to be looked after being the re- placing of the spools with empty ones. One workman can oversee ten of the machines, which will produce about 470,000 yards of thread a day, an amount equal to the silk product of 24,- 000 cocoons. The threads are wound lightly on drams and submitted to the fumes of formaldehyde in a closed -room for several hours, after which they re- sist water. Coloring matter, if requir- ed. is added to the liquid gelatin at the beginning. --Washington Star. Sobriety Drug. An eminent chemist of Cincinnati, says The Enquirer, is at work on the manufacture of a drug which. if he is successful, promises to operate toward sobriety at the same ratio as alcohol operates toward intoxication. "if what I believe I can do is ever realized," said he the other day, "I can take a sober man and intensify his sobriety with a dose of my medicine. A man with a terrible package aboard will be perfect- ly sober after repeating my dose three or four times." The success of the ex- periment opens up a wide world of speculation as to the exact scope of this peculiar remedy's operations GLOWWORM LIGHT. Perhaps It Is Something Like the Mysterious Roentgen Ray. An account is given in the Revise Scientifique of the experiments made to ascertain whether the light proceeding from the glowworm may not be due to the emission of rays similar in their nature to the Roentgen. For this pur- pose as many as 800 of those insects were caught near Kioto and then placed before the photographic plates, screened from the light by several thicknesses of 1 black paper together with plates of brass, copper and aluminium. This be- ing done, a piece of cardboard with a hole in it was inserted between the metal and the photographic plate. For a peri- od of two days this arrangement was 1 kept in a dark chamber sheltered from all foreign lights. On developing the plate it was found Ito be blackened except the part opposite the hole in the cardboard, so that the rays of the glowworm would appear to penetrate metal and excite luminosity in cardboard. When there is nothing between the sensitive plate and the glowworm the rays behave like ordinary light, but in traversing some metals and cardboard they seem to acquire proper- ties like X rays. Fish as Food. A popular misconception is shattered in a government bulletin entitled "Fish- es Food." Up to this time most of the world thought that fish beyond every- thing else was valuable for the nourish- ment of the brain, since it contained much phosphorus. That fish contains uncommonly large proportions of phos- phorus now is pronounced a delusion. The government experts have deter- mined that the percentage of phosphorus in specimens of fish analyzed by them is not greater than is found in the flesh of other animals used for food. While fish is deficient in materials which yield heat and muscular power to the human body, when it is supplemented by bread and potatoes or other vegetables it sup- plies a diet which will meet all the de- mands of the body. As a food it is par- ticularly desirable for persons of seden- tary habits. It fills two distinct places in dietetic economy. It furnishes a cheap source of nitrogenous nutrients. It also supplies the demand for variety in the diet. That the average nutrition of fish is lower than that of ineat foods is shown by fignres. Mutton is said to contain 37 per cent of nntrients, while medium fat beef contains 33 per cent and turkey 34 per cent. The general average of fresh fish is 14 per cent California salmon contains 84 per cent, shad roe 28 per cent, Spanish mackerel 24 per cent and Maine salmon 25 per cent. Fish and lean beef are about equally digestible. The leaner kinds of fish, such as cod. haddock, perch, pike and bluefish, are more easily and com- pletely digested than the fatter kinds, such as salmon, shad and mackerel. Health Seeking at High Altitude.. The study made by Drs. Mitchell and Crouch on the influence of sunlight on tuberculosis in Denver and the cause of the great degree of immunity from that disease by those living in high al- titudes has been published, receiving much attention. The result of their etudies is that consumptive health seek- ers in the Rocky mountains derive ben- efit chiefly from the dry air, diminished atmospheric pressure and the powerful influence of the solar rays—that is, high altitudes present meteorological condi- tions which inhibit the proliferation of the tubercle bacillus in the body, while at the same time the system is stimu- lated to increased resistance and forti- fies itself against the invader. More- over. in the opinion of some, the fierce- ness of the sunbeam in the dry and rare- fied air is destructive to the germ of phthisia It is urged by these observers that both the absolute and the relative moisture is low in high altitudes, and this, -together with the lessened atmos- pheric pressure and almost constant winds, greatly facilitates evaporation, extremely favorable conditions being thus created for the abstraction of moisture by the atmosphere from the substances with which it comes in con- tact. The moist surface of the lungs must suffer considerable loss of mois- ture, and it is this struggle for mois- ture compensation, it is argued, that re - snits so largely in furnishing immunity from tuberculosis. Seat of the Soul. Understanding by soul the highest intellectual faculties, it is worth con- siderable trouble to find out where these functions are located. Savages believe that it is in the liver or the heart: cynics suggest that it is in the stomach ; phrenologists place them in the front part of the brain, but the most ad- vanced physiologists are now inclined to teach that the posterior cerebral lobes have the highest intellectual value. Dr. C. Clapham's arguments to this effect are quoted with approval in the "Cen- tralblatt fur Anthropologie" (1898, 'Heft 4). These arguments are that man has the most highly developed posterior lobes, and this is conspicuous in men of marked ability and in the highest races. In idiots the lobes are imperfect- ly developed, and in chronic dementia these portions of the brain reveal fre- quent lesions.

This paper is a protest against the current surgical theory and practice that all cases of appendicitis must be split open. This ptotest is based on 27 years' experience as physician and sur- geon, including service in three hospi- tals, one western fort, five years in min- ing surgery, five years in railroad sur- gery, 12 years in general practice on the central western plateau of Minnesota and four years in New York city, which —unique in the speed of its rise, unique in the snap of lee people. nnigne in vast tributary territory and population —is decreed by the fates to be the hub of the earth in the nearby future. My experience is that appendicitis and all other belly aches for which men now operate arc- promptly amenable to proper medical treetment I can recall 100 cases treated with symptoms of this malady—or of typhlitis, or peri- typhlitis, as it was formerly called—but I have never yet met a case of it in which I felt it was my duty to cut or which terminated fatally Influenced by the prevailing craze to cut, time and again in coming to new cases of this kind I have thought.

Women's Occupation and Infant Mortality. A paper has recently appeared in the English journals giving some notable data based on the national census of several successive decades. A most re- markable fact is the decline in the pro- portion of women employed in agricul- tural and farm service in the realm; also a marked decline in the proportion of women employed in silk, worsted and woolen manufactures, likewise in the proportion of seamstresses. On the oth- er hand. an enormous increase is noted in the proportion of the sea engaged in the teaching service and as tailoresses, who are mostly sewing machinists. It is admitted 1, in this paper—after an elaborate and,, careful investigation of all the facts nd statistics relating to the point in questbn—that, while the industrial employment of married wom- en with yonng children is an obvious evil, it is not the paramount one. In a word, the paper corroborates the con- clusion arrived at by previous investi- gation by eminent specialists in this line that the factory employment of women is not the main cause of the high rate of infant mortality,in Lan- cashire and other industrial localities. Some interesting tables are given in the paper cited. showing that there is much more constant relation between infant mortality and the social condition of different town populations, measured by the proportion of domestic servants em- ployed, than there is between the pro- portion of industrial occupations among women and infant mortality Paper Bathrobes. The latest use for paper. according to a German technical paper, is for the production of bathrobes. The material used for this purpose is somewhat thick and resembles common blotting paper. The bathrobes made of this material cling to the body immediately after being put on, and. as the paper takes up the moisture very eagerly. the drying of the body takes place rapidly Fur- thermore. the paper is a bad conductor of heat. and as such it acts as a protec- tion against qnick changes of the tem- perature, preventing the wearer from catching cold. Slippers and hoods are also made of the same material. An In•ult.

A football requires a vast amount of work before it is ready for kicking over the gridiron. The balls are covered with cowhide which must have remained in the tan pits a year or more. The hides are from 7 to 8 feet long, 6 to 7 feet wide and before splitting weigh from 25 to 80 pounds. The skin has to be split into two layers. The part to be used is soaked for a few days in a cleansing preparation. It is "sleeked" out to make it firm. It is fed and cut into shape. The strips are stitched, always by hand. The bladder is or should be of the finest Para rubber, and undergoes perhaps more processes than the cow- hide. It is as necessary to the football as pneumatic tires are to the cycle; in fact, even mere so, since no effective enbstit tute for an air bladder has yet been dis- covered. The bladder is of immense strength, and is fitted with a nozzle through which the air is injected. These, bladders are an expensive item and represent a considerable portion of the cost of manufacture. The bladder is inserted through the unlaced slit, and the next process is to blow it up. The rubber nozzle fits over a metal tnbe on the machine. A few turns of the hand wheel and the ball is inflated. It is now laced up and handed over to the shaper, who pats down any nn - evenness in the seams. The Truthful Marksman. An extraordinary shooting adventure is recorded by A. L. Butler of the State museum, Selangor, Malaya. One day in last Jnly a Malay woodcutter went out into the jnngle to cut fuel, taking with him au old single barreled, muz- zle loading gun loaded with the rather unscientific charge of a bullet and four buckshot. Moving qnietly through the jungle. he suddenly came upon a tiger feeding on the carcass of a sambhnr, and with touching confidence in his weapon tired at a distance of 20 paces. The tiger rolled over, and when the Malay cautiously approached he found not one dead tiger, but two, the second having been hidden from the sports- man, though only a few feet distant from the animal he tired at. Mr. Butler, who made a post mortem examination of the tigers after they had been skinned, fonnd that in each case a single buckshot had gone to the heart. One had also an insignificant wound on the head from another pellet. "For a really appalling fluke," as Mr. Butler says, this achievement of the Malay woodcutter will be hard to beat. It certainly is not a performance any sane white man will try to parallel, much lees to eclipse. Old Love and New Repartee. People tire smiling at the little pas- sage at arms which took place between two young women at a luncheon the other day. One of the women is a beau- tiful blond, a bride, and she comes from the south. She met the other woman first at the aforesaid luncheon and, shak- ing hands in her characteristic, cordial way, said : "I'm so glad to meet you! Yon have afforded me so much amusement." "Amusement?" said the other. "Oh, yes!" went on the bride. "I've been through my husband's desk, and I've read all his old love letters. I found several very warm and affectionate let- ters from yon, and I enjoyed reading them ever so much." "I'm so glad yon enjoyed them l" purred the other. "But do come to see me very seon. I have the answers to all those letters, and yon might like to read them. Mr. X. 's letters are ever so much warmer and more affectionate than those I wrote him. I know you'll enjoy reading them ever so much more than yon did mine. "—New York World. A Natural Mistake. "I went to Paris," says an English- man, "staying at the Hotel de Lille et d'Albion. Never having been before, I lost my way and could not find my ho- tel again, because I neither spoke nor understood French. Thinking some of the people I met might understand written English, I went into a station- er's shop and bought a large card, on which I wrote, 'Please tell me the way to the Hotel de Lille et d'Albion.' "Again I sallied out, showing my card to several, but still to no purpose. At last a man read it and silently beck- oned me to follow him, which I did as silently for a mile or more. Then he pointed, still silently, to the sign of the hotel, and when I saw it I broke the silence by exclaiming, 'Thank you.' " 'What,' he replied in amazement, 'are you an Englishman? So am I, but I took you to be deaf and dumb.'" The Power of Money. "What," said the visitor to the vil- lage of his childhood, "what's become of the one boy I hated—Willie Hawker, the sneak?

WAS IT A MIRACLE? A South American Missionary is- Saved in a Miraculous Way. e Reaches United States Just in Time to Save His Life. You have all heard of Prof. E. R. Weycoff, the only missionary that ever went among the Aztec Indians of South America who has returned alive. It was Prof. Weycoff who planted Christianity amid these fierce people, and made a min- ister out of Zoreff, the man-eater and chief of the savages. "Eight years ago," said the professor, to a, gathering of friends at the Allyn House, "I resigned my lucrative professorship and set sail for South America. My journey was a two -fold mission—first, to carry the gos- pel to a people who had never heard it, and second, to regain my health, if possi- ble, amid the arid hills of southern atmos- phere. My disease was consumption. I had been pronounced incurable by lead- ing physicians of the east. Analysis by Dr. Agney, of Philadelphia, showed that I was in the early stage of Bright's dis- ease. I also had a growth in my left side, which some physicians diagnosed as an enlargement of the spleen, some an ague case, and others a tumor. I was told that any one of the troubles would prove fatal within a year, and that there was no cure for me in the known world. After a long sea voyage, then a railroad journey, and then nine days' wagon journey over the plains and up into the mountains, my wife and I reached Deswisaca. You have all heard me relate my experience among these people. In this connection I would say, by the treatment of the medicine man of the tribe. by the help of God and the climate, I largely recovered from my lung and kidney troubles. The tumor, how- ever, continued to grow. Two years ago I took cold and relapsed back to my orig- inal condition. The aledicine mate gra-re- ly informed me that I was a dead white man and I felt that for once in his life he was telling the truth. "Twelve months ago, at a ranchman's hut, a few miles from Deswisaca, I chanc- ed to come across a copy of The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution. It was like home to see an American paper, and I devoured its contents with great interest. What at- traoted my interest mostly was an article describing the miraculous cures of a Louisville physician. In fact, they read as much like miracles as old-time Bible miracles. This article spoke of the cure of Mrs. J. A. Clark, Jonesboro. Ga., of double curvature of the spine; Miss Mary Lewis, of Galveston, Tex., of consump- tion; of Mrs. C. E. Omber, Shreeveport, La., of a malignant fungus growth and tumor; and of Miss Lidia Head, Ensor, Ky., of kidney and bronchial troubles. It mentioned the remarkable cures of fifty people. Now ray wife, who is a southern wo- man, happened to know Miss Head, and knew thev were among the most respected people of the state. Such was the im- pression made upon my wjfe andetnyself, that we determined to start immediately to Louisville, and see by the help of God if that great healer could help me. It was on the ninth day of December, 1895, that I reached the office of Dr. Rea, who is president of the Southern Medical and Surgical Institute, Louisville, Ky. I was nearer a dead man than a live one. I found the doctor busy, with about fifty people waiting to see him. He was also preparing to make a professional trip to Texas. As soon as I entered the presence of Dr. Rea, he told me my exact condi- Lien and bow I had been for years, better than 1 could have told him. I knew I was in the presence of a great man. and one who was master of his profession. I telt before he had given his opinion that I would get well. I felt that bis work was God's work and God was with him. My blood had almost turned to water, my limbs were swelled to almost the size of my body, my cough was very severe, and my left lung badly affected. Dr. Rea gave his opinion that the chancet were greater that I should get well than that I should not, and that by the help of God he would save me If he could. You can't imagine what life these words gave me, for I had beeu told the day before by two prominent physicians in Cincinnati that I could not get well. I was under Dr. Rea's treatment about six months and have just been dismissed by him as cured, tumors all gone, cured of Bright's dis- ease, lungs cured. and feel like a new man. My wife has recently visited Iowa, and there learned some of the most remarka- ble cures. Mrs. Jane Smith, Bonaporte, Ia., cured by Dr. Rea, of cancer of the stomach and of fungus cancer tumor of womb, after the beet physician in the state had pronounced her case incurable. Eugene Athey. a prominent business man of Hamilton, Ill., cured of kidney troub- les, after being pronounced by the leading physician of the state as beyond all hope. Mrs. Rachel Erickson, Marshalltown, Ia., cured of abdominal dropsy, after all oth- ers had failed. 11. C. Emerson, Keokuk, Ia., catarrh of throat and bronchial troub- le and a slow wasting form of consump- tion, after being an invalid for years. kiss Jennie Steele, Columbus Junction, Ia., Lured of long standing rheumatism. Miss Christie, of Kahoka, Mo., cured by electricity of tumor on the face, no scar left. Mrs. Mary Schroder, Ft. Madison, Ia., cured of blood and heart troubles of the most advanced stage. J. E. Burns, Milford, ia.. cured of deafness in twenty minutes, had been afflicted for five years. Chas. Wold. Fairmont, Minn., cured in three months of nervous debility and lost vitality. V. A. Arnold. proprietor of West End Hotel, Spirit Lake, Ia., cured of kidney troubles in ten days. John Huff, Cedar Rapids, Ia., cured of chronic rheu- matism. Miss Anna Higgins. Iowa City, Ia., cured of stomach troubles. The cure, I understand. of Mr. Hugh Gardiner, Morning Sun, Ia., of gall stone of the liver and kidney troubles, has been the talk of the country. Miss Mary Stanley, Oska- loosa, Ia., cured of catarrh of the head and eye troubles. Dr. Rea's practice is dis- tributed alike alt over the southern and western country. The sick come from everywhere to see him, ihey come nearly dead and go away well. Miss Clara Naglille, now the wife of a prominent railroad official, Owens- boro, Ky., cured of catarrhal consump- tion; Mrs, M. F. Rice, Memphis. Mo., cured of ulcerative sore legs and blood pwiscu; S. a: gtrwriv. f..41‘,..-t:Golfn., cured of total blindness, Miss Philip Trout, Mt. Vernon, Ind., cured of cancer of the face; H. D. Hess, Brinkley, Ark„ operated on for cross eyes, and cured in three minutes; Mrs. E. B. Blockson, Terre Haute, Ind., cured of chronic female troubles, cured in six weeks; John Mc- Namara, Marshalltown, Ia., cured of ec- zema, of forty years' standing; had tried fifteen doctors; J. M. Belle, Chetopa, Kas., cured of nervous debility, bladder troub- les and wasting vitality. "How does Dr. Rea perform these cures?" ask half a dozen voices. "God only knows," replied Prof. Weycoff, "but he does it. He is a man of great skill and experience, besides he possesses almost a spiritual gift in diagnosing disease. I have talked to numbers of his patients, and they have all told me that he tells them their troubles better than they could have told him. I believe there are other Dr. Rea's, but only one Dr. Rea who has cured thousands of in- curable cases all over this country. He seems to cure incurable diseases as though they were slight defects. His cares are the work of God and the brain of a great man. We can't tell how he performs them, but the world knows that he does. I consider Dr. Rea the greatest physician that ever lived. Though only a young man, he stands as a physician greater than that of any score of physicians. I have seen him in a hundred cases exam- ine men and women with all kinds of diseases (all strangers to him) and tell each one his disease without asking a question. In the more malignant dis- eases, such as cancers, tumors, consump- tion, and heart troubles he is at his best. I have seen him grapple with death itself, and, when no one believed that the patient could live an hour, he has laughed at the situation and restored them speedily to health. Dr. Rea has attained 'the highest eminence in his profession and has carved out a career of success more fascinating than the dreams of two worlds. PROF. L. 0. PEMBERTON, Lexington, Ky., Gazette.

SECOND Minnesota Journalism The new editor of The Prison Mir- ror was pardoned by the president before getting out his second issue. There is said to be quite a scramble for the vacancy. A new paper called The Sentinel has been started at Hector by D. H. Sage, with Harry Hayes as editor. It makes the eleventh in Renville County, and is a mystery how so many exist there. The Rev. Leonidas Brown, a Meth- odist preacher who left North St. Paul two years ago while under bonds to answer to the charge of assaulting a • young girl, has been recognized at Manila by members of the Thirteenth Minnesota Regiment. He has turned bartender and gambler, and is said to he implicated in a recent holdup of soldier.

The state text book bill received its quietus in the house on Wednes- day, legislature next week will again tackle the difficult problem of providing for the care of the insane who cannot now be accommodated by our three asylums. The house has already killed the county plan, recom- mended by Gov. Lind, which was the very proper thing to do. There are now two plans before the house and senate. One is to build two small institutions at Anoka and Hastings. largely on the cottage plan, and the ot er is to build cottages at St. Peter, and Fctgaa - Falls. The- latte tba is worse even than the CO ty scheme. The three hospitals w now have are much too large, and the best judgment of experts along this line is against large hospitals. The one important point that should influence the legislature is to accom- modate that section of the state not now providid for. The bill provid- ing for the location of the fourth hos- pital required that it be as near the Twin Cities as practicable. A line drawn south of St. Paul and Minneap- olis to the Mississippi and north to the boundary line includes one-half the population of the state. This territory is now without an insane hospital, and patients from these counties have to be transported a long distance at an enormous expense. This cost of transportation would in itself justify hospitals at Anoka and Hastings, to say nothing of the better treatment to be given or unfortu- nates. With these t-, o hospitals\a better classification of the inmates could be made and the increased ac- commodations which will be necessary from time to time can be had by cot- tages at a comparatively small expense to the state. The bill introduced by Senator Thompson should be killed forthwith, and the one fathered by Representative Staples, with possibly some amendments, should be adopted. —St. Cloud Journal -Press. Insanity, and how best to care for its victims, is still occupying the at- tention of the legislature. In the house the county system bas met with so little favor that the bill pro- viding for this plan only found fifteen supporters and was quickly disposed of. Two other bills are now pending, one to extend the accommodations now qxisting at the present aAylums, and one to build new asylums, one on the site now owned at Anoka, and in the future, as it may be required, one at Hastings. This latter plan appears the most feasible, and is the one ap- parently that has the most friends.— Ortonville Herald -Star. Mrs. Gertrude Geraldine Martin, formerly Mrs. W. E. Allison, died at St. Paul on Saturday, aged fifty-six years. She was horn at Aurora, Ill., and was a member of the second white family to settle at Hastings. She was the wife of J. J.

In spite of all that was done look- ing to the adoption of the county sys- tem in caring for the insane, only fif- teen members of the legislature could be found to vote for that system. As The Union has all along contended, the best and most satisfactory plan for caring for the insane is that pro- posed in the construction of hospitals at Anoka and Hastings. This pro- vides a sufficient number of asylums, conveniently located, and easy of ac- cess to every part of the state, at the same time guaranteeing the best of care under state control and manage- ment. —Princeton Union.

The binder twine business at the prison is -constantly increasing, and hundreds of cash orders are received daily. Some of the club orders are decidedly large, one booked on Wednesday amounting to forty-three thousand pounds. Every pound of twine manufactured will be held for farmers up to the first day of May, at which time orders from dealers will be accepted. Warden Wolfer esti- mates that the total output of the factory for this season will be a trifle in excess of six million pounds. The price for manila and sisal fibres is con- stantly increasing, and it is fortunate for the farmers of Minnesota that the prison factory has a good supply on hand.—Stillwater Journal. A New Opera House. There is considerable talk about converting the Yanz block into an opera house, and with the proper en- couragement possibly something might come out of it. The proposi- tion is to build on the rear of the lot, with the front on Ramsey Street, using about half of the present build- ing, and still leave two store rooms on Second Street. The location is a good one, and if too much money is not expended in fitting up it certain. ly ought to pay a fair rate of interest on the investment. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local arplications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. Sold by druggists 75c. F. J.

The next visit of Dr. Rea, the famous specialist, to our city, is announced else- where in this issue. The successful re- sults that have awarded his new method of treating chronic diseases is attracting wide reputation, and the regular physician who holds up his hands in holy horror and exclaims, " Can any good come out of Nazareth?" will be convinced that there can, if he will but come and see. The doctor has succeeded in reaching the masses by means of his many cures, and his practice here is increasing rapidly. Church Announcements. The Rev. L. W. Ray, D. D., of Minne- apolis, will hold services at the Baptist Church to -morrow. morning and evening. A German service will -be held in the Presbyterian Church to -morrow. at four p. in. The Rev. McOelher, of St. Paul, will preach. All who speak German are invited. Commtnaption and Canaries. We do not in this paragraph allude to the islands to which people fly for the cure of consumption, but to the lit- tle birds which sing songs to us in their captivity, and are, according to Dr. Tucker Wise, a cause from which con- sumption comes. This gentleman says that from his own observation he is of opinion that in many instances diseased cage birds, such as canaries, communi- cate tuberculosis to a serious extent among human beings. As about 400,000 canaries are reputed to be sold every year in the United Kingdom, and as it is stated that tuberculosis is one of the most common diseases of birds, it does not seem unlikely that the canary may have considerable influence in the dis- tribution of tuberculous infection.— London Hospital. Accepted the Amendment. Joseph Jefferson, at a dinner in New York, said that when called upop for a curtain speech in New Havel, Billy Florence once delivered himself t/tat: "It is here and to you, ladies and gen- tlemen, that I owe my present success in my profession. We knew each other when boys and girls. We played mar- bles together under the shadow of the old church, and now to receive this warm welcome from old friends—what can I say? Simply that I never can for- get the people of Hartford." A man in the front row said, "This is New Ha- ven, Mr. Florence." "I mean New Haven, of course," said Florence gravely.

In this, for a der, the whole village concurred, the exception of his wife. She tained silence on the subject whic best, perhaps, inasmuch as she wa cause of it all. "He's—he's the most downtro and meek sort of man yon ever set on, and it ain't right. that it shon so," Mrs. Blake declared, as Ly Merritt, then ander discussion, shn along the dusty road. "It's dreadf see a man so suppressed," she sig "It ain't nature one bit. "Some men are born meek wonld rather a woman'd go ahead boss the house and him, too, and yon don't blame 'em, but Lyford a that kind. 'Fore bis wife got ho him he need to be as up and comin any one." A slight flnsh spread over her cheeks as she felt a critical glance n her. "That was the time he came a -co in yon, I s'pose?" her gnest remar blandly. "I always heard yon had s sort of words and then he took np the new schoolteacher and married right away 'fore your face and eyes Mrs. Blake beat her cake vigoron "Hei ' a n t done nothing but be set ever since, " she declared at length, that he ain't himself at all. And th what's so exasperating. No man w any natural stand up to him ongh give in the way he does. That's wh the trouble. He seems to think it's right." She poured the cake into a tin a shoved it into the oven and shut door with a bang. "We've all had spells of talking him," she went on, "bnt there, it ai no earthly good. He always sits so g natured and kind of nods his head as agreeing, and when yon come to stop looks up with his bine eyes and say 'Well, well, you don't understand. may seem kind of hard sometimes outsiders, Mis' Blake, but then, y see, she's got the nerves.' "Nerves," scornfully ; "as if any us couldn't get up that kind of nery if we wanted to. Bnt Lyford, he jn stands it always, and it's terrible exa perating." She gave another glance out of th window. Lyford Merritt was not i sight. Unccnscions of his neighbor scrutiny and comment, he slowly croe ed the stubby field and made his way the barn. There he deposited the pack ages from the_store and then went t tLe:woodpile. }3 He seemed in a sort brcwn study, and his movements we; nncertain. "It ain't right for a man not tt b master in his own house," he rnin rated as if the sentiment had just bee impressed upon his mind. "It reall ain't, and I am going to assert myself. The thought caused a stick to dro from his arms. He hastily picked it n with a backward glance over his shout der. "I wouldn't do anything to her Caroline for anything in the world. 0 course I wouldn't. She's a good wife — a very good wife to me, and I'm thank ful I've got such a good wife, and hope I make her a good husband." He parsed and slowly laid two mor sticks on to his burden and walked to ward the woodbonse. "And I've been thinking that perhap it ain't good for her to have me alway giving in to her," he continued as h returned for a second load. "I rea somewhere the other day that wome was like horses—they like to have thei own way long's they can, but whe yon make 'em mind they go all the bet ter. Not that I should ever try an make Caroline mind"—be paused aghast—"but perhaps if I kinder too things for granted that she wonldn' mind my doing more things I could do 'em, and she'd like it. I'm a -going to try anyway." It was undeniable that Lyford Mer- ritt's heart beat somewhat faster than usual as it neared 3 o'clock on the fol- lowing afternoon. The town committee had ordained to have an extra meeting. It was usually held at the Perkins', but Mrs. Perkins was sick, and so Ly- ford had generously asked them to come there. A few had already gathered and were sitting in the shlide of the big elm. Oth- ers could be segtt coming down the road. • "I suppose We might as well go in, seeing there are so many of ns already," Lyford remarked. It was an unwritten law that the meetings of the committee should al- ways be held i n y some parlor or the church vestry. It was not compatible with the dignity of the committee to meet in barns or shops, as did other or- ganizations. The men sprang np and Lyford led the way to the front of the house, where they greeted the others. They stood a moment and chatted, while a few strag- gled up, then Lfyord put his hand on the door. It refused to open. He made several attempts, but it would not stir. He grew red in the face with exertion. •It's unlocked all right," he declared, "because I saw to that this morning. Yon see, we don't use it very often, and that's the reason why. I'll go in- side and see if I can start it." He left the men and skirted the house, avoiding the kitchen windows and steal- ing in the back way, where he removed most won - with main - h was s the dden eyes Id be ford ffied nl to hed. and and then in't Id of g as thin Pon urt- ked ome with her sly. on "so at's ith t to at's all nd the to n't ood if he s: It to 0n of es st s- e n 's s- to 0 o e n y P p e d n n d k "Oh, yes," he replied, with a des energy.

The meeting opened with its u solemnity, but soon it grew exciti and there was a busy hum of voi The men had removed their coats, they swnng like draperies from c backs; the family Bible on the ma center table made an excellent desk the presiding officer, and ballots papers were liberally distributed the floor. Some of the men were am ing. Lyford was making a speech—it a very excellent speech—on the freed of the individual. His audience was terested. Soddenly there was a hu He turned, and Mrs. Merritt stood the doorway. Lyford gave a little ga The eyes of the men were upon h and he straightened visibly.

Several of the men were on their fe One was straggling into a coat. M Merritt did not reply. Her keen bro eyes swept the room, and a petal smile settled on her face. "I was going to suggest"—Ly made the great effort of his life— was going to suggest, seeing it was very warm, that we prepare some s of refeshment for the gentlemen, Ca line." There was a note of inquiry in voice. His wife turned, and with hurried excuse he followed. A nervo angh from one of the men broke t ensiou of the moment. "We shall have to give him ffice, " some one suggested. He was gone some time, and then h wife returned with him. He carried ig pitcher of iced tea, while she bo platter of spice cake and jumble hich she afterward supplemented wi oaf cake and pickles. It was a very social intermission th followed. Mrs. Merritt made herse ery charmiing, and Lyford was in th ighest spirits. Then she retired, an 1e meeting went on. Lyford was nom ated ft:r school committee. He a pted, of coarse.

Moet men wo'ald as soon think of ew a gathering figs off thistles as wool off win- pine trees, yet that is just what the He promoters of a new Oregon industry ve a propose to do, says the Boston Journal had of Commerce. Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Cords are establishing a plant at anal Grant's Pass for the manufacture of pine needles into a fabric very like woolen cloth. There is nothing new in this industry. It bas been carried on in Europe for years,' but never before has it occnrred to any one that in the forests of Oregon is better material, and more of it. for the manufacture of pine wool than any place else in the' world. Mr. and Mrs. Cords are enthusiasts, but do not propose to start in on too large a scale. They intend first to make material of the consistency of excelsior for mattresses. After that they will manufacture the wool which is used for underclothing, bandages and other purposes where a soft and pliable fab- ric is required. Only the inner fabric of the needles can be used for the latter, and the process is expensive, but no more so than that of the manufacture of lamb's wool. Mrs. Cords is familiar with the proc- ess of manufacturing fabrics from pine needles in Germany and France, and on a visit to Oregon something more than a year ago it occurred to her that the pine trees there were better suited to the purpose of ,. nfcctnre than those of the continent. .. ''ttlo investi- gation convinced her that it would be worth while to try the experiment, and with the assistance of her husband she started a small factory at Grant's Pass. Machinery of the proper kind was not to be had. and it was necessary to send to Europe for it.

This was the subject of serious dis- cussion lately before the • British Med- ical association, based upon a paper read by a distinguished member, Dr Milne Bramwell, who has made exten- sive professional use of the mysterious power. But, according to the summary given by the London Chronicle, the opinion of the majority of medical men at the congress was that hypnotism is a dangerous tool for the practitioner to use. It was judged that while good effects undoubtedly follow the adoption of hypnotism, particularly in the case of mental diseases or the various trou- bles arising from depression and in- somnia, the fact is manifest that it cannot be used indiscriminately to ad- vantage, Its s general application, in a word, cannot be thought of. when, as is well known, its various and varying phenomena are only partly understood by physicians themselves. The opinion of the celebrated Dr. Benedict, profess- or of neurology at the University of Vienna, who has bad about 80 years' experience in hypnotism, with excep- tionally favorable opportnnitiesfor cor- rect judgment, is much to the purpose —namely. that it may t, mine danger- ous to the nerves, to the intellect, to the strength of will and the general character of patients.

It is evidently one thing to work without knowing how much we do and another thing to have our labors mapped out before us in detail. For several months a business house in this city bas enjoyed the ministrations of an un- usually faithful colored janitor. Always prompt and faithful, unerring in the discharge of his various dntiee, Tom was a great, favorite with the firm, and the prospect was that he would abide with them many years. One day it occurred to the senior partner that a little more system in Tom's routine would be advisable and perhaps render his work a trifle easier, so be wrote out in plain characters an outline of the chores Toni bad been do- ing every week, arranged perhaps with more convenience to the firm and to Tom. Unfortunately Tom could not read, so the list was given to another man employed on rougher work, with instructions to read it to Tom and ex- plain to him each day's prescribed du- ties, When the schedule was read to Tom, however, the effect was aetonisbing and disastrous. He listened quietly, but his eyes grew bigger and his black wool seemed to bristle on his head. At the end he reached for his cap and said to the porter : "Good gracious! I ain' goin to do all that work." Then he walked out and hasn't been seen since.—In- dianapolis Journal. Tricked the Vicious Camel. A valuable camel working in an oil mill in Africa was beaten by its driver. Seeing that the camel had treasured up the injury and was only waiting a fa- vorable chance for revenge, the driver kept a strict watch upon the animal. Time passed away. The camel, know- ing that it was watched, was quiet and obedient, and the driver began to think that the beating was forgotten, when one night, after several months had the by, man was sleeping on a raised platform in the mill, while, as is customary, the camel was stabled in a corner. Happening to awake, the driver saw by the bright moonlight that when all wa Iniet the animal looked cantionsly around, rose softly and, stealing toward a spot where a bundle of clothes and a b,rnoose thrown carelessly on the ground resembled a sleeping figure, cast itself with violence upon them, rolling with all its weight and tearing them most viciously with its teeth. Satisfied that its revenge was complete, the camel was returning to its corner when the driver sat np and spoke. At the sound of his voice and realizing the mistake it bad made, the animal was so mortified at the failure and discov- ery of its scheme that it dashed its bead against the wall and died on the spot. Easy Way to Be Generous. In the Baptist church of a New Eng- land village was an old man who had all the Christian graces save one, and that one was the grace of liberality. He would do anything in the world for the cause of religion but give np his money. At the close of the financial year 1869 the church found itself $400 in debt. A church meeting was called, and it was voted to' circa lateae subscrip- tion paper on the spot and endeavor to thus raise the sum needed. This was done, and the old gentleman did not put his name on the paper. The result was rather disheartening, $200 only having been pledged. Silence reigned for a moment, when one of the most generous men in the cLerch moved that "we double our subscriptions." In- stantly the old gentleman was on his feet, and with extraordinary fervor cried, "I second tiie motion." He evidently felt that be was thus doing bis part in hastening a most de- sirable result.—Harper's Round Table. What Love Is.

He came to work one day not long ago very full of the goings on of a young man he knew, who was in love. "But what is love, uncle?" asked Miss Lousy. Uncle wagged his head wisely.

Here is a highly interesting paradox, which may amuse or bewilder, as the case may be. It is supposed to have been invented by Socrates: A. says that all Athenians are liars. A. is an Athenian and therefore a liar. Therefore his statement that all Athenians are liars is not true, and consequently all Athe- nians tell the truth. A. is an Athenian, and hence tells the truth. Wherefore his statement that all Athenians are liars is true. Therefore be is a liar and bis statement false, and so on. Force of Waves.

Somebody's Mother, A ragged woman was crossing the corner of a public park in a large city where the children of the poor are ac- customed to Islay, many of them bare- footed.

In an instant the police- man was by her side. With a gruff voice and threatening manner be de- manded "A . .t are you carrying off in your apron ., The Amin seemed embarrassed and refuse,; o answer. Thereupon the offi- cer of t' law, thinking that she had doubtless picked up a pocketbook which she was trying to make away with, threatened to arrest her unless she told him at once what she had in her apron. At this the woman reluctantly unfold- ed her apron and disclosed a handful of broken glass. In stupid wonder the policeman ask- ed: "What do you want with that stuff ?" A flush passed over the woman's face; then she answered simply: "If you please, sir, I just thought I'd take it out of the way of the children's feet. "—Detroit Free Press.

"I am so glad to see yon here, prince, and in each luck, tool" she exclaimed. "Do tell me a lucky number. It is sure to win, for you are now in the vein." The prince generously placed a pile of gold Ionia before the vivacious lady, whose beauty had successfully defied the effects of 86 winters, and said: "Put it all on the number of your years and reap a golden harvest." The lady reflected, hesitated and then placed the pile on 27. An instant later the croupier sang out: "Thirty-six red wins!" "Heavens!" muttered the lady as sho fainted.

Setae Camper et Kleptomania. Here are some striking cases of klep- tomania: A series of thefts was com- mitted in some of the best houses in New York. The culprit turned out to be a young woman connected by birth and marriage with the owners. There- after, when from a household which she had visited anything was missed, the owner would go to her, kiss her and ask it back. It was quite a family mat- ter. At that time there was a journalist about town who was both a social fa- vorite and an able man. He kept a bachelor establishment in which it was his amiable habit to entertain those who had entertained him. There of an afternoon or of an evening people would gather and take back from his drawing room things which he bad taken from theirs. There was never a word ex- changed on the subject. Perfect cour- tesy prevailed. , Then there was a young fellow whoee name figures in the early history of the United States. At a dinner which he attended a ring banded about for in- spection disappeared. So much was said that later he returned it with a state- ment to the effect that it had caught in the lining of his sleeve. A few days afterward we heard Talboys—dead since, but not forgotten—ordering a coat of a tailor whom we patronized in common and expressly stipulating that it should not have that kind of sleeve. In each of these instances the case belonged not to jurisprudence, but to pathology. Kleptomania is a disease, like influenza, only, thank fortune, lees catching.—Collier's Weekly. A Good Story of Landseer. Landseer, riding down Bond street, saw the following notice in a picture dealer's shop window, "A Fine Land - seer on View Within." He went into the shop and asked to see the "fine Lando ser.' The dealer, who did not recognize him, proudly pointed out the work. It was rather an early one. The dealer was, of course, loud in its praise. "And bow much do you want for it 1" said Landseer. "Two thousand guineas, sir," was the reply. "Two thousand guineas? That seems a long price for an early work." "I could not take a shilling less," said the dealer "He's gone, sir," touching bis forehead significantly. "He's out of his mind. He'll never paint another," "Is be indeed?" said Landseer. "I'm very sorry to bear that." And as he was coming away he noticed a large picture by Stanfield. "May I ask what you want for this Stanfield ?" "That, sir, is also 2,000 guineas." "What!" said Landseer, touching his forehead and imitating the dealer's gesture. "Is Stanfield gone too?"

One night the weather looked very threatening, and we had royals set, so I went down to the captain and asked whether I should shorten sail. He turn- ed round in his cot and said, "Wait till it comes." I went on deck, and, knowing what he would say if any spars were lost, I commenced taking in sail We were struck by a squall so fierce that I bad to put the helm up and get the ship be- fore the wind to get the canvas in.

The unique custom of egg rolling always tarns Easter Monday in Washington into tbe prettiest and most jubilant shildren'-e holiday la all the year. Thia egg rolling on $aster Monday is One of the very quaint customs of the world.

It not only ipeludes the great army of children la Washington, but their mothers, grandparents and uncles. It is a holi- day all over and for every one, and that American who has not seen a presiden- tial egg rolling must count himself as having missed one of America's great holidays. There was a time a few years back when the egg rolling festival was divid- ed half and half between the White House grounds and capitol grounds. Nobody knows or perhaps cares to say 1 M!Nfti ESbTA Nits ��i ;ETV*. f ill per Year in advanee. *2 per Year if not in Ad , auee. BOG BOLLINNG 15 THS Wing HOME GROUND& why the day has vanished from the capitol grounds and gone entirely to the White House grounds. But small boys have intimated that they feel more at home where the president "keeps his eye on the police." So it is that on Easter Monday all children in Washing- ton take possession of the president's "back yard," as one youngster called the White House grounds, and assert ownership with a refreshing disregard of authority. The gardener, Olaf their efforts must be given to gathering the shells over a good many acres of ground after one of theee festivals. Besides gathering egg- shells, they gather almost everything else in the line of broken lunch boxes, broken lunches, and paper almost by the ton. Every blade of grass nand be raked, and a lot of grass must be made to grow again. In other words, the gardeners declare tbe work of months is undone by the pieaanre of a day. It may be said with certaiaty that the White House gardeners are the only people in Washington who are not happy on Easter Monday. They even hope the day will come when the "egg rolling business" will have no place in the White House grounds. But the presi- dent who would risk his popularity by such a decree must Deeds be a man who would care more for his gardeners and grounds than for children and their good fellowship. Easter Monday is the one day in the year when children of all claeees, con- ditions and colors are on a social level within the grounds The ragged black boy "picks eggs" with the millionaire's son. and little giris who never by any chance meet elsewhere or at another time "skip the rope" and play as equals. For this one day they are all members of the Four Hundred. It is a long day, beginning with some of them at 7 o'clock the morning and ending at 6 in the evening. The gates are not opened until 8 o'clock. but the children go an hour ahead of time and keep the watchmen busy answering questions about the president. They feel that the president has a personal interest in every one of them, and they return the compliment. -New York Tribune. The nate of Master. Why Easter, unlike Christmas, should be a movable feast has often been asked, but it is not so readily answered. To have the date of Baster Sunday fixed definitely so that its place in the calen- dar a year or 50 years ahead could be stated as eaaotly and readily by people in general es that of Christmas would be a coneenieoce. The majority of even Catholics and Episcopalians hays at present but indistinct and probably in- accurate ideas as to why Easter is cele- brated on stick or such a date and ars content to leave the time of its celebra- tion to he announced by the calendar makers. Aside from saving the abstruse calcu- lations employed in determining the Baster date there would certainly be advantages in having the entire Chris- tian world celebrate the Easter festival upon the same date, and Pope Leo XIII is said to be about to take the initiative in the matter by fixing the time of Easter, alter the present century, on the third.

Throughout the east the bamboo plays an important role in nearly every kind of outdoor work. In building earth- works it is utilized very cleverly indeed. In sandy soil or in the soft loam along the swamps two rows of bamboo are driven, about four feet apart. The lengths of bamboo are about 10 or 12 feet long, and the thickness is about four inches. Earth or sand is thrown in between the rows of bamboo, making a ditch in front of the stockade. A third row of bamboo is then driven four feet in the rear of the inner row, but this row rises only a couple of feet above the natural level of the soil- More earth or sand is filled in, and the filling in each case to rammed down as hard as possi- ble. Where there has been a sufficient length of time to cat portholes through the front thickness of earth the men in the fortifications thus thrown np need not expose themselves at all, but when, as in all came of rapidly constructed field works, temporary protection alone baa been desired, the rows of bamboo do not rise more than three feet above the natural level, and the men lie down or crouch behind the protection thus afforded and fire over it. Such works will keep out any rifle ball. and will even so localize ahrapnel fire as to make it very ineffective. If the shrapnel strikes the bamboo before exploding it will harm only those di- rectly in front of it. If it bursts before reaching the earthwork the shrapnel ball' will tail to penetrate it. Religion and the Possum. An incident told by the Rev. V. B. Carroll in The Homiletic Review makes apparent the necessity in this transi- tion period of getting the negro in- wardly right in order that his relation- ship to society may be right. We were driving cut one Sunday from Decatur, wben we came upon a negro, with a club in his hand and a freshly killed possum on his shoulder. We stopped to examine his prize, and the colonel said: "My friend, do you know it is San - day ?" "Sartin. boss." "Are yon not a religions man?" "I are. I'ze jist on my way home from church." "And wbat sort of religion have you got that permits you to go hunting on Sunday?" "Religion, religion ?" queried the man as he held the possum up with one' band and scratched his head with the other. "Does you 'spect any black man in Alabama is gwine to tie hieself np to any religion dat 'lows a possum to walk right across de road ahead of him an git away free? No, sah t A religion which won't bend a little when a fat possum heads you off couldn't be 'stab- liabed round yere by all de preachers in de universe." Sharks Fear Boise. The cowardliness of sharks is well known among men who have been mach to sea in southern waters infested by man eaters. The fiercest shark will get out of the sea way in a very great harry if the swimmer, noticing its ap- proach, Bets np a noisy splashing. A shark is in deadly fear of any sort of living thing that splashes in the water. Among the south sea island• the' na- tives never go sea bathing alone, but always in parties of half a dozen or so In order that they may make the great- est hubbub in the water, and thus scare the sharks away. Once in awhile a too venturesome swimmer among these na- tives foolishly detaches himself from his swimming party and momentarily forgets to keep np his splashing. Then there is a swish, and the man eater comes np beneath him like a flash and gobbles him. w otaeestag Thimioght. .

The Sermon. The caustic remarks of Justice Haw- kins have not always been confined to the bench. At the opening of an assize tbe chaplain preached what he con- ceived to be a distinctly good sermon, and he had the temerity to sound Mr. Justice Hawkins on the subject. "Did you approve of my sermon, my lord?" he asked. "I remarked in your sermon, Mr. Chaplain," was the prompt reply, "two things which, to be candid, I did not approve of, and which I have, I am glad to say, never remarked on a sim- ilar occasion." "They were, my lord?" was the anx- ious question of the preacher. "The striking of the clock," answered Mr. Justice Hawkins, "twice, sit" - Green Bag. Libels on Dogs.

W'as Deliberate. It is said that Dinah Muloch Craik, the famous anx'r.ar of "John Halifax, Gentleman. • made a habit of leaving at her banis the manuscript of each of her stories as soon as it was completed. It would remain there perhaps six months and then ehe would call for it and see bow the story affected her after that lapse of time. If it pleased her, the manuscript was sent to the publisher. Otherwise it was rewritten or thrown away. The farmer's boy looks with scorn at the city boy, who doesn't know which A Famous Poison Mystery. England had a famous poison mystery a qnarter of a century ago. Two mem- bers of a great club in Manchester, both men of position end keen politicians, each received, apparently as a New Year's gift, small boxes containing a few cigars of the very highest quality apparently. Both were taken fearfully ill after smoking, and one of them sub- sequently died. The cigars were found to be loaded with poison, and it was said that the man who recovered only did so because he need a oigar holder. The facta were at first hushed ap, because, as was said, the suspected sender, whose motive was revenge on account of a lady, was a man of wealth and power. But this subject was cleared, and the mystery was deepened by the following circumstances: A rich Manchester mer- chant, traveling one day in a railway car about the time of the incident re- lated, got into conversation with a most agreeably and highly cultivated stran- ger, who finally offered his cigar case. The Manchester man was found at Leeds almost unconscious and the only occupant of the carriage. He grasped in one of his convulsed hands the cigar he had been smoking and after analysis showed it to be identical with the oth- ers. He recovered, but the stranger was never discovered. A Bad Place For Fat Men. Among the ancient Spartans every- thing was considered secondary to mil- itary efficiency, and with a view to se- curing this the boys and men were by law kept in a continual state of "train- ing." No deformed child was allowed to live. The boys were taken from their homes and subjected to military regu- lations at the age of 7. They were com- pelled to wear the same single garment winter and summer. At 20 they joined the ranks, and from that age till they reached 60 were required to dine at the public tables, where only a certain quantity was supplied for each man. The magistrate, interfered in absurdly small matters. They regulated the de- gree of fatness to which it was lawful for any citizen to extend his body. Those who dared to grow too fat or too soft for military service and exer- cise were sometimes soundly flogged. Aelian, in hie history, relates that Nanclis, son of Polytns, was brought before the ephors (magistrates) and the whole assembly of Sparta, and "his un- lawful fatnees" was publicly exposed, and he was threatened with perpetual banishment if he did not bring his body within the regular Spartan compass and give ap the culpable mode of living, , which was declared to be✓more worthy of an Ionian than a Spartan. " Reed and Strout. Thomas B. Reed served in the navy during the civil war, and in 1865 he returned to Portland to practice law. As a young lawyer he displayed the same qnalities of ability and aggres- siveness which have teen a conspicu- ous characteristic of his political life. One of the strongest men at the Port- land bar at the time was A. A. Strout. Before beginning the trial of a suit it was Strout's habit to inquire of every juror as to the state of his health and impress each with the idea that the law- yer'was solicitous of that juror's per- sonal welfare. Reed and Strout were constantly an- tagonizing each other, though they were very good friends. In nearly every case of importance Strout and Reed ► were on opposite sides. It was annoying, indeed, for the shave Strout to hear Reed drawl out before the opening of a case: "Well, your honor, Brother Strout having finished his morning task of shaking hands with the jury, we may now, I hope, proceed with the business of the court." -Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. Hardly Worth the Agony. An artist of more than national fame chose the most beautiful girl in his town for a mate. Before they were married he said: "My dear, yon are al- most perfect. You lack but two things -your mouth is a little too small, and you are a little too thin. I wish that before we are married you would cor- rect those two and beoome absolute per- fection." For six months the poor girl wore a brass fixture in her mouth to stretch her jaw and ate fattening food. Then she was married. To an intimate friend she has since confessed that the agony of that six months' jaw stretch- ing was not worth all she since has en- joyed as the wife of a distinguished artist: -New York Commercial Adver- tiser.

The Tasmanian Devil' The animal known in Australia as the Tasmanian devil is ane of the cely two survivors of what must at one time have been a widely distributed class of animals, to judge from the fossil re- mains already found in many parts of Australia. Like nearly every mamma- lian quadruped of the continent, the devil is a marsupial, but with the soli- tary exception of the so called Tasma- nian wolf he is the only surviving mar- supial animal that is carnivorous and may be regarded as a beast of prey. The devil is now very scarce and will soon be extinct, but in the early con- vict days of the island -when Tasma- nia, then called Van Dieman's Land, was the penal settlement for the worst class of British convicts -they were plentiful, and many ghastly stories were afloat of their attacks upon escaped convicts who had taken to the bush. It is believed that the name of devil was bestowed on the animals by the convicts, who had learned to look upon them with almost superstitions fear, partly in consequence of their appear• ance, but still more owing to their un- tiring perseverance in following np an enemy to the last with what looked like undying hatred. No specimen has ever been found on the continent of Austra- lia.-Lippincott's Magazine. Brutalities at Sea. In The Pall Mall Magazine W. Clark Russell quotes the instructions given by the Earl of Lindsay in 1635 to his cap- tains: "The keynote is struck with the de- votional spirit of the age. The chief in command is to take care that all the officers and companies of the ships worship God twice a day. Swearing, drunkenness, robbery, sleeping on watch and the like were to be punished ac- cording to the order and custom of' the sea. Punishments were brutally severe in those times. They marooned -that is, they set a man ashore alone on a deso- late coast or island and left him to starve, to be destroyed by savages or wild beasts. "They keel hauled -that is, they dragged a man naked by yard arm whips under the bottom of a ship, and drew him np raw and bloody with the hareh wounding of barnacles and spike- like adherences, only to he snbmerged afresh ere the unhappy miscreant could fetch a full breath. They nailed a man to the mainmast by driving a knife through his hand. For murder (that was often manslaughter) they tied the living to the dead, beck to back, and threw them overboard." -grdairaa tiW The old superstition, which has grown into an adage, that rats desert a ship which is no longer seaworthy, is still an article of faith with the fresh water sailors of the great lakes. Sundry -well authenticated instances seem to justify this belief. Here is one. The Vernon was a three raster which did a tramp business. Built in Buffalo in 1850, she was for many years regarded as one of the beat craft on the lakes. Late in the fall, about 15 years ag9, she unloaded a cargo of grain in Buf- falo, and reloaded with package freight for Chicago. She was about to sail one rough November night. Just before the lines were let off one of the seamen saw a rat run over the hawsers to the wharf. In a moment another was seen. The seamen called others of the crew to see the unusual sight. Between 50 and 75 rats poured out of the ship and took refuge along the wharf. The crew re- fused to sail, but the captain was ob- stinate, shipped a fresh crew and sailed forthwith. The ship was lost with all hands. -Household Words. An Empress' Pen. I heard an interesting fact regarding the former empress of the French the other night which shows in what direc- tion her thoughts run. Whenever she has occasion to write anything about her lamented husband, she always noes the diamond pen which signed the treaty of Paris. All those who partici- pated in this historical occasion wanted the pen as a memento. But so keen was the empress on possessing it that she begged that only one pen should be used, which she thought she had a right to retain as a souvenir. This was agreed to. The pen takes the fotm of a quill plucked from a golden eagle's wing and richly mounted with dia- monds and gold. -Woman's Life. The Conies and Amen. I once witnessed a phase of prompt evolution of practical and of devotional religion in Scotch sheepdogs on a com- munion Sabbath among the mountains. The churchyard was crowded with shepherds, accompanied by their dogs, which lay quietly asleep at the feet of their masters. The sermon was finished, the psalm had been sung, the final prayer was being offered, and there was no sign of impatience, but the moment the benediction commenced the dexo tional doggies all ronsed themselves. and before the "Amen" they were in marching order. -"Newman Hall," an Autobiography.

This interference upon the part of the executive will probably not cut much figure in the final result. If he could guarantee that the additional one per cent would not be followed by an increase of tariffs to more than that amount it would be easier sailing for the proposed measure.

Vickere, brother of the Anoka giant, who is be- lieved by those who have seen him to be fully capable of throwing Hali Adali or any other Turk that the Sick Man of the East has in his dominions. Mr. Vickere says that his brother is at present busily engaged in putting in his spring crops, but that as soon as the planting :,eason is over he will gird up his loins and come to Minne- apolis in search of Hali Adali. Young ti ickere is said to be able to throw any four men within ten miles of Anoka. He is pretty well posted on the rough and tumble style of wrest- ling that prevails in the country, and will probably soon learn the fine points of the game when placed un- der the iustruction of a competent wrestler. This young farmer boy is only nineteen years of age, stands exactly six feet,' seven inches in his stocking feet, and weighs three hun- dred and sixty-eight pounds. Local sports expect that he will prove to be a wonder. -Minneapolis Times. F. A. Simmons, of Hastings, writ- ing to F. E. Church under.date March -18th, in response to inquiries with regard to the cultivation of sugar beets in that vicinity, says: "The growing of sugar beets on the rich and clean lands here last year was fairly profitable, and there will prob- ably be a good acreage planted here this spring. The best beet lands last year yielded over twenty tons to the acre, which sold at about $4 per ton on board ears here. As the total cost is about $45 per acre, not count- ing rent, you will see that the profits are large where the conditions are right. Where there is rich, clean land close to the railroad station, with plenty of cheap, reliable labor, beet growing is very profitable." -Owaton- na Journal.

To the Editor of The Gazette: In relation to the Wilson bill for the reform in regard to prism paroles and the ideas advanced by the Rev. J. E. McConnell, of Northfield, your correspondent asks for the usual editorial indulgence towards dissen- ters. In 1857 the Hon. J. W. North, founder of the now prosperous city of Northfield, said in conversation with the writer, "I was out to church the other day and as I was returning the rev. so and so accosted me with the 'how did you like my sermon, Mr. North,' to which I replied, your sermon was very good from your standpoint, but I must deuy your premises," McConnell says, among other things, "We now celebrate the life of Christ who made atonement for all sin, but what one sows he must reap, and a life is none too great a harvest to compensate for the seeds that were sown by these lives." Again, the premises is denied from which the gentleman sees atonement on the one hand and perdition on the other, without a particle of difference whether he claims his "pound of flesh" through the Old or New Testament. He is evidently dreaming in the atmosphere peculiar to the fore part of the present century in which the people of London weekly (if not daily) witnessed public hangings for petit larceny or what are sow regarded as minor crimes. Yet people went on committing more than three score of varied transgressions against in- human laws under which they, suffer- ed the extreme penalties without the "benefit of clergy" save at their last moments. The writer does not wish to be re- garded as a sentiment^list, or any ons committing murder 'lopen thought ought to hang, but with the Youngers there is no evidence of premeditation and could they have been tried with- out the prejudice of public opinion technical law would have acquitted them. It is unfortunate for the present like the past that men of J. E. McConnell's profession still follows in the work of public opinion, and a sad commentary upon the Christian religion that most of all of the great moral reforms have originated with irreligiouists, commeuding to the clergy the words of Macbeth: We but teach Bloody instructions, which being taught return To plague the inventors; this even-handed justice. Commends the ingredients of our poisoned chalice To our own lips. P. BARTON. Future State Care of Insane. The legislature last week settled the future policy of the care of the insane probably for some time to come. A short time previously it rejected the county plan by an almost unani- mous vote. Then it took up a discus- sion of the colony plan and discussed that in connection with the enlarge- ment of the present hospitals, and finally decided upon the former. Un- der the provisions of the bill which passed the house one hospital will be erected on the Anoka site as soon as the governor signs the bill, and the Hastings site will be purchased for another hospital at a cost of $15,000 if the people of that locality choose to sell the land for that price. It is not all certain that they will, as that is much cheaper than the market value of property in that neighbor- hood. The new hospital will accom- modate five hundred patients, and then a new building will be put upon the Hastings site. It is more than probable, with the natural increase in the number of insane patients, that the second installment of buildings will be needed at the next session of the legislature, and that they will pro- vide for it. This seems to be the most progressive and humane way to care for these unfortunate wards of the state. It has one great advantage over the county in that the system pronounces no patient incurable, as the county plantff s -at least by im- plication. Probably from a purely financial standpoint the county plan is the most economical, but we great- ly doubt if it is the most humane. The state of Minnesr' has probably settled for some tit to come the policy of insane care in the action recently by the house. - West St. Paul Times. Real Estate Transfers. Guy Maltby to Florence T.

ABOUT MONOGRAMS. t wrens Dainty- Ways Ia W'hiek MeV Are Now Vaed In Facey Rork. The use of the monogram is one of the recent ideas in fancy work, of which Modern Priscilla has the'foliowing to say: To put a tiny initial or monogram on all embroidery work gives a dainty touch of individuality to one's work, and when the finished article is to boa gift adds to the delight of the recipient, to whom the little signature is an as- surance that the giver had her in her thoughts from the very inception of the work. The effect of monograms on doilies and centerpieces is very pleasing. They may be worked In white, harmonizing colors or tints of one color. In circular pieces they should be put in the center. A square gives more choice of position. Here the work may be put either in the center, a corner or even the middle of one side. Especially appropriate is the mono- gram on the linen pieces prepared for my lady's dressing table. One exceed- ingly pretty toilet set had its various pieces made of white linen, with the monograms, or initials, if they are pre- ferred, worked in delft bines. The hemstitched hems were surrounded by frills of lace, and the monograms were planed in the exact centers. The pin- cushion was especially pleasing. Monogram photograph frames are very handsome and are made in a varie- ty of ways. The shape and size of the frame must regulate the monogram and ite position. A frame that had the open- ing in the lower right corner had a large monogram in the upper left cor- ner. A frame of gray art linen had an oval opening in the center for the pho- tograph. In the upper left corner was a pretty conventional design, gracefully reaching across the top and down the left side, and the monogram was in the lower right corner. Covers for books or magazines are made of gray or white linen, with the monogram in the center of the front as the sole decoration. These covers, with the monogram of the recipient, make useful and welcome gifts to one's friends. Often the design of a book cov- er may be repeated for its linen envel- ope. This gives good results The monogram cushion is always ef- fective and may be worked in a variety of ways. If your beat boy friend is a sailor laddie at Annapolis, he will ap- preciate a cushion with U. S. N. in a pretty monogram worked in red, white and bine on a neutral color. The color of war vessels in time of war is good and appropriate. This may be finished with a cord of the national colors, with sailors' knots at the corners. The letters U. S. A. are used on a cushion of army blue. A raffle of ribbon woven with little flags is a good finish. For the college boy there is a varie- ty Z monograms His own is always acceptable. His surroundings and pas- times will fnrnish others. HOW SOUND IS CARRIED. Homos ■ Moist Air the Readiest Vehicle of Sowed. From a high ridge in Berkshire there is occasionally to be heard the sound of the firing of guns at Aldershot, 80 miles to the eastward. The gens are chiefly noticed in the summer time, when there is very rarely an east wind to help the sound. Occasionally the reports are mis- taken for distant thunder and thus cause alarm at a time when hay harvest is in progress There is, however, a say- ing in the district that the "guns are worse than thunder," and this because they forecast, not a passing or local storm, but rather the approach of gen- erally unsettled weather. • It is easy to prove that it is a continuity of a uni- form moisture laden air stretching across that part of the country that is the cause of the phenomenon. The testi- mony of seamen and other trained ob- servers goes to show that homogeneous moist air or mist is the readiest vehicle of sound, that dry air seldom or never conveys sound so readily, while an at- mosphere of varying density renders all sound capricious. From a sheltered, quiet lawn the Al- dershot guns had not been noticed all through the late summer until far on in one afternoon in the middle of August, when their sound rolled out with great distinctness, the weather, to all appear- ance, remaining unchanged and the barometer standing frm and high. In the night, however, taunder was heard for some two hours, the first time for many weeks, and in the morning the guns were heard again more distinctly than before. In this case sound had been the clearest and indeed the only telltale of the humid layer of atmos- phere brooding over the countryside. - Contemporary Review. Climate and Consumption. I am in favor of treating tuberculous patients near their homes and in the same or nearly the same climate as that - in which they will have to live and work after their restoration to health. My reasons for advocating such princi- ples are founded on the experiences of all modern phthisio-therapeutists, who 'iave demonstrated that the hygienic and dietetic treatment in special sani- tariums is feasible and successful in nearly all climates I know from personal observation that cures of pulmonary tuberculosis effected in our ordinary home climates, ' which are on thegverage not considered as especially favorable to this class of sufferers, have been more lasting and more assured than cares obtained in more genial climes. And, with all due deference to the opia;ons of others, I do not believe Ulf - , exists any climate which has a special curative quality for any form of pulmonary tuberculosis. Climate can only be considered as a more or lees valuable adjuvant in the treatment of consumption, but not a specific. -19. A. Knopf, M. D., in North American Re- view.

First we had Wal-tham, similarly twanged in the second syllable, and I fear that ultimately we have to submit to Ded-ham in the place of Deddum. Thus do English names suffer in the mouths of those who are quite ignorant of their history. Not merely because it is English, but because it is logical and historical, and because the word "ham" has its meaning. Waltham should be Waltnm and Wrentham Wrentnm.

Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube: When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

THE OLP BELL RINGER From the church of a forest village the old belaakarose high and somber, with its steeple pointing toward the sky, and on this Easter night weary steps were heard ascending the winding stairs leading to the platform where the bells were hung. The old bell ringer Mikael was slowly mounting until at length his lantern appeared on high like the pale glimmering of a star. The ascent was painful. The old man's limbs almost refused support, and he scarcely saw his way before him. He was so worn out, old Mikael—so worn out Ah, it is tree, it is sorely time, thonght he, to depart to the land of rest, but God wills itnot thus. How many times had he arousedthe night from this belfry with the glad tidings, "Christ is risen!"—how many times? He could not exactly tell, and yet God willed that he was still to ring the bells. The old man approached the balus- trade and leaned pensively thereon. Below, surrounding the church, he vaguely perceived' the cemetery of the village bristling; with dingy, crosses, wh'ch, with outstretched arms, had the appearance of mounting guard over the fleas slmmbering be;seavh them. Thickets of birch ti.'las, still denuded of their foliage. inclined above the tombs, and as Mikael gazed on the melancholy scene a voice from below snddenly aroused him:' '_Mikael! Mikael!" The voice was feeble and trembling. The aged deacon of the village looked up. He tried to see the platform of the belfry, his bands carved over his wink- ing eyes in order to have a better view. "I am here: What wonldat thou have?" asked the bell ringer, half leaning over the balustrade. "Dost thou not see me?" "No, I do not see thee. Dost thou not think it is time to ring the bells?" Mikael looked at the stars. The thou- sand fires of heaven sparkled in the azure. "No, not yet. Waft a little while," answered the bell ringer. He had no need of a watch. The stars would tell him when the hoar had come. The heavens and the earth, the white clouds floating in the azure, the somber forest, and even the little mnrmnring river running in the shadows, spoke to him in language he >sntiersbood, for there was a close communion between him and these thing,. It was not in vain that all his life had centered in this belfry. Now all the distant past arose before him. He recalled the day when for the first time he mounted on this platform with his father. And he saw himself a child, with bright eyes, yes, and fair hair floating in the wind. But it seemed to him that wind was not the same as this which raised the blinding duet of the high- ways. No ! it was a breath from on high that only swept the summits. In the vision of his childhood this forest reced- ed to a distance without bounds, while the clearing which inclosed it spread out immeasurably. "However, it is here before me all en- tire," said the old man with a smile, in embracing the narrow space with a sin- gle glance. And this truly was his life. As a child he saw no end, and yet from the first 'day until the last he was held in this narrow space, as in the hollow of the ;hand. However, . the hour had come. Throwing a last look toward the stars, Mikael arose, took off his bat, made the sign of the cross and gathered the ropes in his bands. An instant after the bells 'began to ring. First one, then a second, a third, a fourth, until repeated strokes (followed in quick succession. Then suc- ceeded a flight of sound whose prolong- ed vibrations filled the night. Then the bells ceased ringing. Mikael seated himself on his bench, his ears filled with the dying vibrations and his ;mind absorbed in vague reflections. The platform was feebly lighted by the vacillating gleams of the lantern. Above his head the bronze still prolong- ed its tremblings. from the church arose faint cliantings, and the evening wino s=wept the bell ropes to and fro. The silvery voices of children echoed around the altar, while Mikael, with bowed head, again lost himself in vi- sions of the past. "Mikael! Ho, Mikael I Art thou Bleeping ?" "What!" exclaimed the old man, suddenly starting to his_ feet "Is it possible I have been asleep? Never, never ;lave I been so wrong." And with his accustomed hand Mikael seized the cords. Below a crowd of peasants swarmed like bees in a hive, banners floated in all the splendor of their embroideries of gold, the proces- sion was making the tour of the church, and joyous voices reached the old bell ringer: "Christ is risen!" And this acclamation echoed power- fully in the heart of the good man. It seemed to him that the candles burned in the shadows with brighter light, that the banners floated more freely, and that the wind, aroused, carried to the heights and depths in united har- mony the chants of the faithful and the songs of the bells. Never had the old man thus rung ont the chimes before. His whole soul seemed to have passed into the bronze as the trembling bells threw to heaven their sounds, sometimes .joyous, some- times weeping. .And the stars seemed more brilliant, and the variations of the bell fell to- ward the earth in a long caress of love. The bass ruled all singing in its voice sovereign and profound. "Christ is risen!" In clearer notes the two tenors re- peated joyously with their metal lips: "Christ is risen!" And the two softly sonnding bells, like children's voices lost in a concert of manly tones, took up the refrain, proclaiming: "Christ is risen!" The wind which swept the brow of , the old bell ringer and which filled the belfry tottering to its base repeated in low, whispering sounds: "Christ is risen !" Then Mikael forgot his life of sorrow. He forgot that he was alone in the world, like an old tree shattered by the! storms. He heard his bells ringing, weeping, and he believed he was sur- rounded by his wife and children. He thou f,ht the voice of the bells was that of hie loved ones. thus forming a heav- enly concert which sang of happiness and `?oy which he had never known. And with stiffened arms and bending form he drew, drew the cords, the old bell rimer. Tears blinded him and his heart throbbed wildly. The world be- low list ned in wonder to this strange flight of sound, saying, "Never before —no, never, had old Mikael thus rung the bells!" Suddenly the great bell swung ' 'ith an uncertain jerk and then stilled. The smaller ones threw ont con- fused tr,lls, then stopped, as if listening to the dying plaint of the others trem- bling iv the air. "Mikeel ! Ho, Mikael!" again called a voice from below. Bnt ? : ikael was sleeping the sleep of death. The old bell ringer will ring the bells no more.—Translated From the Russian by M. M. Hallowell. GREET THE RISING SUN. Moravian Custom Still Observed on Staten Island. No snore quaintly impressive custom has descended to Greater New York from the early days than the Easter sunrise services held by the Moravians in their old burying ground over on Staten Islaud. Since the year 1788 there has never been an Easter morn in which these devout worshipers have failed to greet the dawn with praise and thanksgiving. With the farm lands and picturesquely wooded hills and fer- tile meadows of Staten Island absorbed under the new charter there came into the mnnicipality the Moravian cemetery at New Dorp. There, on the hillside, since the old hip roofed frame building, which still stands, was dedicated as church and parsonage under British rule, the followers of John Huss have held a service at daybreak on every Easter day under the morning sky, among the ever multiplying graves, to emphasize their faith in the resurrec- tion of the body and their sense of ex- ultation in the triumph of life over death. --'' The present church of white painted wood, with its lofty square columns and a cupola containing the bell which calls the worshipers to service, stands within the burying ground, on one of the loveliest spots in the new city of New York.

THE ANCIENT EASTER HOW IT WAS OBSERVED BEFORE THE BIRTH OF CHRIST. Spring Was Always a Time of Fes- tivities — The Legend of Mithras. The Festival In Phrygia and Greece. The Scandinavian Easter. Even before the advent of Christiani- ty eastern nations had long observed the springtime by elaborate religions cere- monies. These festival occasions uni- versally commemorated the god or say for of the people who held them. In Persia Mithras, the savior and mediator between God and elan, was believed to have risen from the dead, and the mysteries connected with his worship were celebrated in the latter 1 part of March. The body of a young man apparently dead was exhibited to be restored to life. The priests watched his tomb until midnight with loud cries and in darkness, when all at once the lights burst forth from all parts and the priests cried: "Rejoice, 0 sacred ini- tiated I Your god has risen! His death, his pains, his sufferings, have worked our salvation." These ceremonies were accompanied by lighting the sacred candle and anointing the linage with perfume. The principal religions festivals of the year not only in Egypt, but in Syria, Phrygia and Greece, and, in fact, thronghont the east, were solem- nized at the latter end of autumn and again at the beginning of spring. Those which occurred in spring were particu- larly characterized by mirth and revel- ry. The resurrection of Adonis, or Thammuz, was celebv d thronghont the east. Julius Fin..: t , in an oration or address delivered I she Emperors Constans and Constantius, described ' these rites in detail. The worshipers laid an image upon a bed and bewailed in mournful songs. After continning these lamentations for a considerable time light was brought into the room, and the mouths of the mourners were anointed by the priests, , npon which the young man impersonat- ing Adonis gently murmured: "Trust, ye communicants. The god having been saved, there shall be to us out of pain ' salvation." In Alexandria the feast of the resurrection of Adonis was observed on the 25th of March in very much the same way as described by Julius Fir- I micus. These festivals were observed in Egypt as late as the year 412, and at Antioch, the ancient capital of the Greek kings in Syria, as late as the year 363. Adonis, or Thammuz, had his altar even in the temple of Jerusalem. Sev- eral of the psalms of David were parts of the liturgical service employed in his worship. With the same ceremonies as in Egypt and elsewhere the Easter rising of Adonis was commemorated at Byblis, in Phoenicia. The ancient Greeks also celebrated this festival in honor of the resurrection of Adonis, in the course of which a figure of him was produced and the ceremony of burying, with weeping and songs of wailing, gone throngh. After these a joyful shoot was raised, "Adonis lives and is risen again!" Elsewhere in the east the Easter festivities were of a similar character, and the priests addressed the worshipers with the formula, "Com- fort yourselves, all ye who have been partakers of the mysteries of the deity thns preserved, for we shall now enjoy some respite from our labors," to which were added these words: "I have escaped a sad calamity, and my lot is greatly mended." The people answered by chanting the invocation, "Hail to the dove, the restorer of light !" "The resurrection and reign over an eternal kingdom by an incarnate, medi- ating deity, born of a virgin," says Professor Mahaffy, "was the oldest re- ligion of Egypt." Osiris was the pop- ular god of that country, pre-eminently good and dear to the hearts of the peo- le. His resurrection and ascension were celebrated annually in early spring, about the time known in Chris- tian countries as Easter. The anniver- sary of his death or disappearance in November of each year was observed with rites of mourning. Similar in na- ture were ceremonies in other countries at the same season, such as the Thesmo- phoria of the Athenians and the Etach- thie of the Boeotians. Later on came other observances describing the search for Osiris, when processions bearing the sacred chest and arks, with fresh water, spices and costly perfumes, marched to the temples. The sacred cow was led around the temple s •. -t tines, which indicated that the you , 1 not complete is return until seven months after. These observances took place in the arly spring—March or April. Phrygia was celebrated throughout he east for the mysteries of Atys, and n these mysteries Atys was represented y a yonng man tied to a tree, as hough suspended upon a cross. and here were great ceremonies attending his release, which was typical of the resurrection. These mysteries, which began with three days of mourning, were followed immediately by a feast of Hilaries, or day of rejoicing, a festival hat occurred on the 25th of March, r the eighth day before the calends of April In connection therewith a song which afterward became the "H.illeln- ah" of the Christian church was sung, nd also the "Mee Dies." The ancient Scandinavians also had heir Easter celebration. In fact, the word Easter—Anglo-Saxon Eastre and ostre, and German Ostera —is a sur- ival from the old Teutonic mythology. t is derived from Eostre or Ostera, the nglo-Saxon goddess of spring, who orresponds to the Sidonian Asteroth or starts. To Eostre the fourth month, nswering to our April, was dedicated nd was called Eostnr monath. This onth was the same s,• the paschal onth of the Jews, and Ms old festival as obeerved with the gladness of a ew solemnity. The month of April is still known in Germany as Oster onath, $and the worship of Ostera on Easter took deep riot in northern Ger- any, whence it was carried into Eng- nd by the Saxons. Down to the begin- ing of the present century the Easter me continued to be celebrated in many arts of Germany by the kindling of nfires and numerous other rites that ere of remote antiquity.

EASTER IN RUSSIA. How the Sacred Day Is Celebrated in the East. Perhaps there is no part of the world where Easter is celebrated with such universal enthusiasm as Russia. To the somewhat childlike peasantry of that savage land the anniversary appeals with a force that more self contained and less trusting nations do not know. The day is expected, watched for and made the occasion of greeting and fra- ternizing, much as New Year's day used to be made here. In Moscow the people —at least a great number of them—as- semble under the walls of the Kremlin before midnight and await the stroke of the bell that tells them of resurrec- tion day. As in New York, before the doors of Trinity church on New Year's eve, all classes are represented. There is no yelling and jeering and blowing on coarse toned horns. People in fash- ionable garb and laborers in their sheep- skin cloaks rub elbows in the throng, and nobles and tramps are enforced companions. As the hour draws nigh a hush spreads over the great assemblage. Then the monster bell on Ivan tolls midnight. It is Easter. Instantly the bells in all the steeples begin to swing, gunners mount the parapet, the walls seem to rock to the detonations of the old saluting pieces, and sounds of re- joicing fill the air. But the sight is even stranger than the sound, for every member of the company below the walls who considers himself has been provided with a candle, and on the boom of the bells lights are passed to and fro, so that in a few moments the whole company seems to be enveloped in a glow. The church doors open for sol- emn service, and the priests are called upon to bless the heavy, plum filled Easter cakes that are eaten by the peo- ple, these cakes being set out in long rows and topped with lighted candles. Kissing is promiscuous in token of the heavenly affection that the day stands for. This part of the business is said by foreigners of tender stomach to be one of the most trying experiences of a life- time. Officers and private soldiers and satl:,rs swap kisses. They keep it up for h _.rs, and the czar has to do his share in kissing his ministers and other func- tionaries that live on the empire 88 well as the army and navy officers and clergy who assemble in his palace on Easter morning before sunrise.—Wash- ington rust. The Easter Parade. The "Easter parade" before and after church service on Easter day is not so modern as many persons believe. It is interesting to note the existence of a EASTER PARADE. popular superstition in east Yorkshire, England, to the effect that it is very unlucky not to wear new garments on that day. In that district, it is believed, rooks will ruin your other clothing if you fail to wear some new thing. Easter In England. In England less is made of the day now than before the reformation, but some curious practices survived until recently in that country. Among them was the custom of heaving, as it was called—possibly a relic of the heave offering of the Jews, though others say it was intended to symbolize the resur- rection. A chair was decorated with rosettes and ribbons, and eligible men or guests were desired to sit in it while the yonng women and servant maids of the place heaved them or raised them into the air. After that they gathered about and kissed them. This delightful custom should have been imported to this country: It would have had re- markable favor among those people who are fond of things English. Perhaps it took the edge from the enjoyment when the servants afterward insisted on tips, as other English servants do and have done on each and every occasion in life that offered the slightest excuse for such requests. On Easter Monday the men took their turn and heaved the wom- en, demanding kisses and money as a penalty for refusal. In Ireland it was customary to rise at 4 in the morning in order to see the sun dance, as it was believed to do from joy that the anni- versary should have come round again. --Exch She Swept the Street. A newly arrived Irish servant was in- stalled in the home of a family on the west side last week, and on the first morning of service she was told to go out and sweep the sidewalk. After an absence of something like an hour the housekeeper went out to see what had become of the new servant. She was seen way down at the end of the block hard at work. She had gone the block's length, and she said she didn't know where she was to stop,— New top,—New York Sun. HISTORY OF THE LILY OUR POPULAR EASTER FLOWER FIRST FOUND IN CHINA. How It Was Transplanted to Japan. Taken to Bermuda by an American. At One Time an Edible Bulb—An Important Business. To trace the history of the beantifnl flower commonly known as the Ber- muda Easter lily one most go back many, many years, even before the birth of Christ, and into the faraway land of China. The Emperor Chow, who reigned over the Flowery Kingdom 1,000 years before the birth of Christ, was a cruel ruler. Even the courtiers and members of his personal household stood in awe of him, for they knew not at what moment he might order their banishment or death because of some trivial or fancied offense. The state of the empire under Chow rapidly grew worse, and one day at the close of a long session, at which many of the courtiers had offered wise plans for improvement, Minister Li signified that he would speak with the emperor alone. When the two had retired to an apartment where none but the slaves of the household were in attendance, Li Chung, with great solemnity, pc_trayed in most elaborate detail the purport of a message he had received from the gods, in which a great sacrifice of men and women and beasts and fruits was demanded, and in return was promised the prosperity of the whole nation. This sacrifice and feast, according to the message, were to take place upon an island in the sea many miles away, where the gods madeetheir chief abid- ing place. Emperor Chow was overjoyed at this unexpected promise of prosper- ity. Great proclamationse issued, and after months of labor the finest ship in the royal fleet was made ready for sea, with Prime Minister Li Chung as com- mander. With great care he bad chosen 10(1 sf the strop -'est young men and most beautiful of young women and bees nd fowls of the finest breed, and for tit • fes is there were stored away all t' 3 delicacies the land afforded. Amos e, these was the delicious lily bulb bak-h•,' which, translated, means "the lily of a hundred fields," so named because of its peculiar formation. Pre- pared in many ways, it became a sweet and dainty morsel, and it occupied an important place among the dishes that were to comprise the feast for the gods, Months rolled away. The time for the return of the ship came and passed, but no tidings were received. Finally two men who had shipped as sailors in the imperial vessel came to port in a strange craft of their own fashioning. They made their way to the emperor and told him a sad story of the wreck of the sacrifice ship and presented them- selves as the or'-- survivors. That was the last Eml. _'how ever heard of his Prime Minieai' Li Chung. Bnt it was not death that prevented the return of Li Chung and the great ship. It was the success of his well laid plan. He had learned much of this beautiful island in the sea, and when the second night of the voyage had passed he called around him the youths and maidens to the selection of whom he had devoted so much personal care and poured into their delighted ears the knowledge that instead of being offered in sacrifice they were to inhabit and populate this beantiful island and live, as his subjects, lives of peace, happiness and industry. Thus Japan was peopled. By reason of the change of soil the bak-hap gradually assumed greater height and strength above the grounds, presenting at the same time larger blos- soms and more luxuriant foliage. As it improved in beauty it became less use- ful as an article of food, and as the people by reason of their reacefnl lives had developed strong tastes for refine- ment and art they were quite happy to deny.themselves this delicacy that they might produce something pleasing to the senses. Hundreds of years rolled away, the little island became a land of sunshine and flowers, and the arts of floriculture and landscape building were practiced and enjoyed by all. The bak- hap, the lily, steadily grew in beauty, and occasionally it was exported in bnlb shape to European and American cities as the Lilium longiflorum. It remained for an American named Harris to discover the beauty of this flower from our point of view, and after making a study of its development and growth he introduced it in Bermuda in 1878. Immediately it received the name Lilium harrisii, which it retains to this day. Its common names are the trumpet lily, Bermuda lily and Easter lily. Because of the fact that Bermuda supplies the leading cities on both con- tinents with the Easter lily bulbs, there is a popular irnpression that the lily is a ndtive of this island, but old growers there have no di.ucalter in disproving this, al in proving the history as given above Some floricniturists have tried to sh• .v that it was a sprout from the Japaneso longiflornm, but in the end the marcs :ty have agreed that the years of carerai cultivation in the peculiarly rich Bermuda soil have so changed its valve as to give it the wonderful free flowering qualities it possesses. Scien- tific students and importers of the bulb see no difference excepting that the later day bulb may be "forced" more readily than the longiflornm, which is still pro- duced in Japan, and that the flowers are wider and more robust. The lily farmer in Bermuda devotes his attention exclusively to the cultiva- tion of the bulb for purposes of export. The industry has grown steadily since the introduction of the flower, some 8,- 000,000 bulbs being exported each year. Of these about 250,000 were forwarded o Europe, the majority to London and he remainder to leading cities in Ger- many and France. Because of the duty ecently placed on b".lbs, these intended or European markets are shipped via Halifax, where, heretofore, they passed hrourrh New York. —New Vnrk Herald.

The burgomaster was out of sorts, and was heard to mutter to himself: "What is this donkey here again for ?" The inspector said nothing, bnt wait- ed his time, and with the unwilling burgomaster set out on his tour. At the first school he announced his wish to see how well punctuation was taught. • `Oh, never mind that," grumbled the burgomaster. "We don't care for commas and such trifles." But the inspector sent a boy to the blackboard and ordered him to write: "The burgomaster of R. says the in- spector is a donkey." Then he ordered him to transpose the comma, placing it after R., and to in- sert another one after inspector, and the boy wrote: "The burgomaster of R., says the in- spector, is a donkey." It is probable that the refractory offi- cial gained a new idea of the value of "commas and such trifles. "—London Tit -Bits. Men's Dress In London.

The Perfection to 'Which Their M Ing Has Attained—In Style, Sh and Color Nothing Is Impossibl Modern Dental Art. Hundreds of thousands of artifi teeth are manufactured and sold e rear What becomes of them? It is asking s; hat becomes of pins and o things which are practically indest tible. Before making a guess it is w while to consider how artificial te are made. • The story is told in N ticket of a sea captain who was a gr whistler until he lost one of his fr teeth by accidental contact with a laying pin. For some time he bemoa his lost accomplishment, until he fo that be could whistle very well with artificial tooth whittled out of a pi of wood. When a performaipce was sired, he would calmly carve out an cisor and put it in position Then audience would wait until the to was swelled by the moisture of mouth so th .c it mould not slip out. When plates were iliscovered and expert dentist was able to supply whole mouthful of new teeth, the te themselves were carved out of ivo But constant grinding would wear aw the ivory, and these elephant tee were not satisfactory. Today all artificial teeth are made porcelain, and will outlast a Meth selah. Those which are known in t trade as "stere teeth," being carried stock by the big dental supply hous are manufactured in enormous quan ties. The porcelain material, which co tains various mineral proportionP, worked up like a sort of dough or pia ter. forced into molds and fused by i tense heat in a furnace. Each tooth covered with enamel and has one more metal pins in the back to hold to the plate. In large lots these teeth can be ma very cheaply. but there is one item expense that cannot be overcome, an that is the cost of the metal holding t pin The oily metal which will stun Cie intense heat of the porcelain fn nace is platinum, and that costs at t rate of a cent a pin simply for the ra material. A great deal of money h been spent in experiments to discov some substitute for platinum. but noti ing has yet been found. While a cheap grade of "store teeth can he_ bought a few cents apiec are not nery as satisfactory a the standard commercial article whic is used by most dentists. A big sappl company will carry hundreds of sample of teeth. all of standard qualities, bn differing greatly in size, shape and co or In color alone from 25 to 100 varia Lions may be presented. But as there are people who are no satisfied with ready made clothing s there are people who are not satisfle with ready made teeth. False teet may look just as well or better tha real ones, but public speakers, singe and other prominent people want thei own teeth reproduced in all their pecul iaritics of form and color and fillings if they bayy-e them. They want teet that cannot'be told as false, and the get them. not all at once perhaps, bn one by one. as the originals give out. In teeth that are made to order noth ing is impassible, from the short, whit teeth of normal youth to the long, dis colored ones of extreme age, and th prices range like those of watches. The teeth are set in plates of rubber, gold and aluminium, but the highest achievement is considered to be a plat- inum plate, upon which has been fused a lining of tinted porcelain similar to that used for gum work. Tinted plates have been made of the same material as the teeth, but as the porcelain shrinks in the firing the fitting of such plates is uncertain. And now for the answer to the ques- tion. "What becomes of false teeth?' Sometimes they are lost, sometimes stolen and sometimes left as a family legacy. Generally. however, they are buried with the owner and lie forever hidden in the ground. It is occasionally suggested that there is quite a business in secondhand false teeth, but if there is such a traffic it is not of large proportions. Secondhand teeth are valuable only for the platinum wire that they contain, and when they fall into the hands of regular teeth makers tbty are smashed up to get the platinum out Not long ago a man who fonnd a double set of teeth went with them to a dealer, thinking that he had a prize. The finder was surprised when the deal- er re.ttsed to make an offer and said that 10 cents a set was all they were worth to any one but the person whose mouth they fitted. The expensive teeth are not market- able. and the marketable teeth are not expensive. That is the whole thing in a nutshell. Yet teeth have been used over.

The Story of Napoleon's Famous C and the Immense Fortune That Popularly Believed to Be Conee ed Within It. How to Treat These Dangerous sae Ry Painful Sore.. A felon jail severe and usually a most painful inflammation of the end of the finger, mora :ommonly either the thumb o1. or index finger of the right hand, for " the reason that these are most exposed al- to the little wounds from which the trouble starts; but any of the fingers, mss_ or even one of the toes, may be the seat of a felon. The inflammation starts generally from the prick of a pin or needle or from a scratch or cut, but often the wound is so slight that no notice is taken of it until the finger begins to grow sore. The soreness soon passes in- to actual pain, and this rapidly becomes most intense and throbbing, and some- times is felt all the way up the arm. It is worse when the hand is allowed to hang down. The ball of the finger is hot, red and swollen. At the same time the patient feels more or lees ill, is fe- verish. and has a headache and rapid pulse. When the inflammation is deep seat- ed, pus collects beneath the periostenm, or membrane covering the bone, and this greatly increases the distress as well as the danger. If allowed to go on nnrelieved, the inflammation may creep up the finger into the palm of the hand, and then the condition becomes a most serious one. In almost any case When once pus has formed beneath the perios- teum more or less of the bone will die, leaving the end of the finger crippled or disfigured by a deep scar. When the treatment is begun very early, it is sometimes possible to cut short the inflammation by cold cloths applied continuously to the inflamed part. These must be frequently renew- ed, for if allowed tolget warm they will act as poultices and rather hasten sup- puration than arrest it. At the same time the arm should be kept in a sling, with the hand raised and resting on the chest. If the inflammation does not rapidly subside under this treatment. we must reverse it and try to bring matters to a head by means of - poultices or wet 0- cloths applied as hot as they can be n borne and changed very often. e The only thing to be done when pus 5 -has formed is to cut the finger and let n it out. •This is painful enough for the d instant, but it will prevent many days P- of acute suffering and all danger of e severe inflammation of the hand and e arm, with subsequent blood poisoning —Youth's Companion. If you happen to have in your pos sion the particular French coin known as a 5 franc piece, you may unwitting- ly be a millionaire. Such, at least, is the belief shared by hnndreds upon thousands of credulous Frenchmen and Frenchwomen, many of whom spend most of their spare time destroying quantities of 5 franc pieces in the hope of realizing a fortune. Dr. Marco -Leonardo Nardez, the well known numismatist and one of the recognized authorities on coin lore, speaking of this curious condition of affairs, said : s "It is quite true that half France still believes in the existence of great wealth hidden in a 5 franc piece, al- though many numismatists hold that the fortune in question was long ago discovered and appropriated by one of the Rothschild family. "The story cf the strange 5 franc fortune legend may be briefly told. A 5 franc piece, to begin with, is a silver coin, and is.worth about 4s. 2d. Napo- leon I was very anxious to make the coin a popular one, and with this end in view he caused it to be circulated everywhere throughout France that he had inserted in one of the silver pieces before it left the mint a bank note or order for 1.000, 000 of these same 5 francs—roughly, about £200, 000. Whether he really did thisor not I can- not say for certain, but the weight of evidence wonld seem to show that it was done. "In the manuscript memoirs of the Due de Feltie, Napoleon's minister of war, it is expressly stated that the em- peror inclosed a note on the Bank of France, duly signed by the governors of that institution, in a split 5 franc piece; that the halves were then welded t gether, partially reminted and throw in a heap of similar coins, which th emperor mixed with his own hand These coins Napoleon took with him I a bag when he went to Boulogne an distributed lavishly en route, even dro ping some of them out of his earring windows. In this way it-wasimpossibl to keep track of the lucky coin. "The news of this odd lottery spree far and wide, and the 5 franc piec leaped into immediate favor. From that day to this mutilation of the coin has been common in France, Switzer- land, Belgium and elsewhere. Every year the Bank of France is requested to make good scores of pieces split in a vain search for the 5,000,000 franc bank note. "There are many stories dealing with reputed finds of the fortune. Indeed when a man becomes suddenly rich in France it is common to bear people whisper, 'He must have found Napo- leon's famous coin. ' "Some assert that the emperor kept the coin himself, but this hardly agrees with Napoleon's character. Still it is a cnrrent theory that some of the money which enabled Napoleon III to reach the imperial throne was found in the lucky silver piece, which his mother, Queen Hortense, had wheedled out of her brother-in-law. "It was also common talk that Gen- eral Boulanger had acquired the famous coin until the discovery that his money supplies came from the Duchess d' Czes set that belief at rest. "The most likely explanation as to why the 5 franc piece fails to tarn up is that Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, a French member of the great Jewish banking house, secured it. This account states that Baron de Rothschild, having investigated the tradition and found sufficient proof of its trnth, deliberate- ly set to work to locate the note. "He quietly bought in and collected every 5 franc piece he could get, and his agents were notified to preserve and forward to Paris every 5 franc piece which reached them in Europe, Asia, Africa or America. In bis office the baron kept three trusty men hard at work bisecting the coins. - "Some say that be had invented a plan for welding them together again, so as to defy detection; others maintain that he melted- down the silver and sold it to the government en bloc. The work was colossal, but in the end the baron's sytem is said to have conquered. "He found the note for 5,000,000 francs, having spent nearly 1,000,000 to obtain it. The order was duly presented at the Bank of France and cashed by that institution. "Plausible as this narration may seem, the great mass of Frenchmen re- fuse to credit it, and go on, year after year, splitting open their 5 franc pieces to look for Napoleon's note. It is cer- tainly a tantalizing thought that some- • where in the world a check for £200,- 000 is knocking about hidden in an or- dinary silver coin worth less than 5 shil- lings. "—Pearsones Weekly.

A sign hanging in front of a shoe maker's shop where secondhand shoes were sold had upon it these words "Secondhand Shoes With New Uppers. ' It seemed almost as though a pair of secondhand shoes with new upper* would be practically new shoes, but in gniry showed that this impression was not warranted by the facts. There is a good deal of fresh material in a pair of shoes thus repaired, bat there is alsc left a good deal of the old. The new upper thus put in is a new vamp, the front part of the upper. The old counter, or back part of the shoe, still remains. It is a familiar fact that while the counter may break down or wear out or get a hole in it somehow it is much more likely to stay sound and good. It is the front t:.dt cracks and breaks. And so in putting secondhand shoes in order new vamps are some- times put in. But while such a shoe, Which had also been soled and heeled. might easily be described as having un- dergone extensive repairs it would still be far- from wholly new. There wonld remain, besides the old counter, tbe shank and the inner sole and the gen- eral shape and framework of the shoe, and upon these the repairs could be made. Secondhand shoes bring various prices, depending on their original quality and tbeir condition. A pair of secondhand shoes, resoled and reheeled and with new uppers, can be bought for as little as a dollar. —New York Sun The Madrid Museum. After the social side of life in the Spanish capital has lost some of its nov- elty there are always the collections to see and admire. And, after all, the crowning glory of the place is the Museo del Prado, which, if not the finest in Europe, at least ranks with the Louvre and the galleries of Dresden and Flor- ence, says a correspondent in the Chi- cago Record. The gallery is especially rich in portraits of the great kings of Spain, and its chief treasures are the works of Diego Valasquez, some 60 in number. The light of the gallery itself is perhaps poor, but the charm of being able to walk undisturbed and never crowded amid this marvelous collection of works by the masters is enough of it- self to repay a visit to Spain. The royal collection of armor at the palace is as interesting as the Prado pictures, in a way, and after these collections come others leas notable, but worthy of a great capital. Most Curious Clock. One of the most curious clocks in the world is that which Amos Lane of Amidee, Nev., constructed some time ago. The machinery, which is nothing but a face, hands and lever, is connect- ed with a geyser, which shoots out an immense column of hot water every 88 seconds. This spurting never varies to the tenth of a second, and therefore a clock properly attached to it cannot fail to keep correct time. Every time the water spouts up it strikes the lever and moves the hands forward 88 seconds.

Crozier. a Canadian physi- cian, in a volume called "My Inner Life," tells of a very breezy interview he had with Thomas Carlyle, whose ad- vice be once sought about going in for literature. Dr. Crozier, in reply to the old man's query as to what authors he knew, mentioned John Stuart Mill. Carlyle broke out: "Oh, aye. poor Milli. He used to come to me here with his Benthamism, his radicalism, his greatest number, and a' that nonsense, but I had to tell him at last it was a' moonshine, and he didna like it.

A Yarn That Will Shake Up Ameri- can Snake Story Inventor.. American inventors of snake stories must look to their laurels. The educated Bengali has entered into competition, and judging from the sample given in good faith by a native paper at Calcut- ta he will be hard to beat. Some time back the lovely daughter of a wealthy Zemindar was bitten by a cobra and died in the course of a few hours. As her remains were being conveyed to the Ganges for sepulture a passing patri- arch of reverend mien proposed that be should be allowed to experiment witb resuscitation. As be bore a high rem tation as a professor , (tf, oretolt seiente, the sorrowing relatives readily consent- ed. The sage then obtained three cowries, and after praying very energetically threw the shells on the ground. Instant- ly one disappeared, and the spectators were wondering what had become of it when a huge cobra burst out of the ad- jacent jungle, bearing the missing cow- rie on its forehead. It mast have been a humble sort of reptile, for wben or- dered by the sage -to suck the wound on the deceased lady it at once complied, and then died to save further trouble. Within an hour its human victim had quite recovered. and went off merrily with her husband and relatives, none the worse for her little adventure. "Such was the marvelous treatment, " says the narrator, "of the peasant, Monla Bux, professor of the occult sci- ence,- which, with the spread of the so called western civilization, has almost died out of the land." What we cannot understand is why snakes committed more atrocities when occult science was in its prime than under western civilization. - The French Supreme Court. The constitution of the cour de cas- eation is as follows: One president, or chief justice, stands at the head of the organization. having below, him three subordinate presidents, each of whom has charge of a chamber. Next in order come 45 minor judges, styled council- ors. 15 for each chamber. Besides these strictly judicial functionaries, who are appointed for life, there are'6even offi- cial advocates. one of whom is a sort of attorney general to the whole body, while two practice in each of the di- visions. To this staff must be added four chief clerks and about a score of minor offi- cials. Of the three chambers, the first is a court of requests, serving to decide what cases shall be allowed to go before the civil and criminal chambers re- spectively. Eleven juges in all the di- visions are necessary to'form a quorum. The courts only sit three days a week, from 12 to 4, so that this huge machine does its work very slow. Nature's Cunning.

Stringer in Harper's Magazine THE STORE DETECTIVE. One Oceasioa Where He Got Decid- edly the Worst of It. The tables were turned upon a wom- an detective in one of the large depart- ment stores recently wben a woman whom she had been following from counter to counter turned on her and not only pulled her hair, but tore her gown. To a policeman who was sum- moned by the detective the shopper said that she was not a thief, and that the detective's espionage was an insult. No arrest was made. The female detectives are known to the regular patrons of the stores where they are employed, and it is not im- probable, when the shopper said that it was an insult to be followed by this woman, that she was thinking what opinion the other shopppers might form of her. One store in this town which obtained a lot of free advertising sev- eral years ago because of the energy of its female detective has paid heavily for it since. It was a store which by its ar- rangement offered great temptation to shoplifters, and undoubtedly it suffered from them. The woman detective was engaged, and as she was the pioneer of her class she attracted so much atten- tion that she became unduly ambitious in her line of work. If a shopper hap- pened to pick up an article and walk to another counter with it, a habit of many women, the detective was right beside her. and she felt that in the eyes of the sleuth she was a probable thief. even if no arreLt was attempted. The annoyance of this woman's ac- tlene berg ,-g!'ettt' i~the- of arrests made by her was so large that the old patrons of the store fell away. They felt that the risk of being mistak- en for a shoplifter outweighed the ad- vantage of the bargains offered. —Chi- cago Chronicle. A Remarkable Piano. One Bouchet, who compiled a history of Acquitaine, describes a remarkable pianoforte built for Louis XI by the Abbe de Baigne. The king one day hearing a drove of bogs tuning up pre- paratory to a general rush for and pro miscuous scramble at the slop pail, laughingly ordered the priest to contrive means by which these seemingly dis- cordant sounds might produce harmony. Tradition does not affirm that the reverend gentleman scratched his head thereat, but owing to the prevalence of the tonsure it is safe to assert that he did not. Notwithstanding which, how- ever, he managed to nicely grade the drove, from the thin treble of the shote to the bassoon grunt of the tusked boar and, having arranged them in stalls un- der a pavilion, announced to his aston- ished majesty, who had not thought of the matter since, that the piano was in tune. The king, incredulous, attended, and when the abbe struck the keys there poured forth to the delight of the entire court a burst of music such as Orpheus never conceived. The explanation, when the crafty. prelate chose to expose bis plan, was most simple. The keys being struck, a prong set in motion by the action was stuck into the pig, graz- ing or piercing, according to the force and temperament of the player. the re- sulting squeal. howl or groan producing harmony.

The neck seems to ex- pand as if made of india rubber—the fish slips down, and the bird is ready for another. In eating beef, large bones are swallowed intact. On one or two occa- sions after feeding beef this way, great alarm was felt, as the birds showed signs of great distress, but the uneasi- ness was soon calmed when the bird threw up a large bone, clean and white, the meat having been thoroughly digest- ed. In eating catfish they instinctively pierce it with their strong.beaka, until there is no question in their simple minds but that it is harmless. If in their hurry to swallow their food, it goes down the throat covered with sand or trash. they immediately eject it, carry it to the water and, having rinsed it well. swallow it again.

Both answers are wrong. It reqnires but 23 hours and 56 min- utes for the earth to make one complete tarn, and it makes 866 j& turns during the year. The error springs from a wrong idea of what is meant by a day. The day is not, as is commonly sup- posed, the time required by the earth to make one turn on its axis, but the interval between two successive pas- sages of the sun across the tneridian— that is to say, the time which elapses after the sun is seen exactly south in its diurnal course through the heavens before it is again seen in that position.

Square yellow papers are circulated about Chinatown. They contain 80 characters within a green border. There is no name or loca- tion on the sheet, but every one knows its office and uses. Translated literally, these characters represent some natural phenomena, such as "Heaven and earth." "Fishes swim," "Birds fly," "The world is vast. " "Clouds rise" and other commonplaces of daily life, and so general are they that the most ordinary dream may find here a character for in- terpretation. Twenty characters are chosen and crossed and the wager laid.

A Joke On the Jap. The Japanese students at onr colleges find the American sense of humor as it is expressed by the other students about them a somewhat peculiar thing, but not at all hard to understand. In fact, it is quite aiplple and elementary. A Japanese gentleman who was a student at Harvard not long ago relates that he was asked by some of his American fel- low students to "teach them some Jap- anese words." He began by giving them "Good morning" in Ja`panese. This phrase is represented in Japanese by a word which in English equivalents cannot be more closely represented than by the word "Ohio." The boys were interested and promised to remember it. Next morning, when the Japanese student came to the lecture room, he found a grout, of the boys gathered to give him the morning salutation in Japanese. "Pennsylvania!" shouted one of them. "Kentucky!" yelled another. "Virginia!" "New Hampshire!' "Rhode Island i" still others called. But not one of them said "Ohio!" It was the American idea of a great joke. The young Japanese was much edified and made a note of it. -Boston Tran- script. A Queer Sind of Savage, When Albert Henrf Savage Lando reached St. Petersburg on his way fro!. the Forbidden Land, the fact was % 1 chronicled, and the London pre-. r.:.. ciations sent cable messages to Anstr. lia telling of the hairbreadth esc:ipf-- and manifold sufferings. The Melbonre Times received but a short note, whirl was this: "A. Savage Landor arrived in St. Petersburg today froth Tibet after suffering greatly at the hands of tine natives. " This was meager enough, but the news editor was equal to the occasion. The following morning, among the other matters of news, the readers of The Times found this startling informa- tion "A savage landor got into St. Peters- burg yesterday, and the people of the city were terrified. After considerable difficulty the beast, which came from Tibet, was captured, taken to a re- mote place and there dispatched. It is said that this is the first animal of the sort ever seen in Russia. How he reach- ed the city after bis fights with the na- tives of Tibet, which is a comparatively unknown country, is a mystery." Polish Jelin.. To drive slowly over cobblestones is not a joy, but to drive four Rnesian horses at a gallop over cobblestones was something to make yon bite your tongue and to break your teeth and to shake your very soul from its socket. I most solemnjy assure you it was anything but a simple drive to one fresh from the asphalt of Paris, for, like Jeha, they drove furiously. Their horses are all wild, runaway beasts, and they drive them at an uneven gayllop resembling the gait of our fire engine horses at home, except that ours go more slowly. Sometimes the horses fill down as they drive across country, or stop only for stone walls or moats. The carriages must be built of iron, for the front wheels drop a few feet isto a burrow every now and then, and et such times an unwary American is liable to be pitched over the coachman's head.

"The Browns are back there and the Fol- somes in the saloon. Lots of people we know." "Your vacation, Elton?" Mrs. Clifford's next question preclud- ed an answer. "Your aunt is inside, I suppose?" she queried. "It is damp out here, and I suppose she likes to prove a lenient chaperon." She smiled teas- ingly. Miss Wentworth's face flame a vivid scarlet, and she half turned to her lover. "Yes," he responded quickly for her. '`We—that is in fact, Mrs. Ashley is not with ns." His eyes dropped, and a peculiar smile played about the corners of his mouth. Miss Wentworth moved uneasily and gave a little gasp under cover of the darkness Mrs. Clifford broke into a sharp little laugh. "Of course," she said.

"Yes," replied Elton, with a sup- pressed thrill in his voice as be boldly took again the white hand that he had dropped in confusion. "Only if you'd as lief not say anything about it. We didn't mean any one to know of it yet." "It was unexpected and rather nn - conventional," said her aunt as she kissed the bride the next morning. "But, then, young people are strange• creatures sometimes when they're in love, and I must say yon two do seem to be dreadfully so. You've really been engaged a long time and not a single quarrel t" She smiled approvingly at her new nephew. "It was perfectly lovely," the bride said impulsively. "Ever so much better than if we had planned"— She stopped, bit her lip and glanced hastily at the others. Bennett was handing her aunt into her carriage and appeared not to hear. She settled back into the seclusion of her own carriage. "I think so, too," her husband re- plied as be bent and kissed her.— Springfield Republican. Age of the Deer. Romance bas played a prominent pact with regard to the longevity of deer. What says the highland adage? Thrice the age of a dog is that of a horse. Thrice the age of a horse is that of a man. Thrice the age of a man is that of a deer. Thrice the age of a deer is that of an eagle. Thrice the age of an eagle is that of an oak tree. This is to assign the deer to a period of more than 200 years, and the esti- mate is supported by many highly cir- cumstantial stories. Thus Captain Mac- donald of Tulloch, who died in 1776, aged 68 years, is said to have known the white hind of Loch Treig fcr 50 years, his father for a like period before bim and his grandfather for 60 years before him. So in 1826 Macdonald of Cleegaray is reported to have killed a stag which bore a mark on the left ear identical with that made on all the calves he could catch by Ewen Maclan Og, who bad been dead 150 years. .Analogous stories, it may be noted, are told in countries on the continent of Europe, where deer are to be found in any number. But the general opinion among experts would seem to be that 30 years or thereabout is the limit of a deer's life. - Won Her a Diadem. How did the French come into Sicily? A woman did it. At a festive enter- tainment held at a French court 'Bea- trice, countess of Savoy and wife of Charles of Anjou, the brother of Lonis IX of Fri.nce, was removed from the superior range of seats occupied by her two younger sisters, the queen of France and the queen of England. Mortified by the humiliation, she returned to her apartments and burst into tears. Upon learning the cause of her cha- grin and her saying that she would be able to give up her life to confine her tresses for one hour beneath a diadem Charles embraced her affectionately and said, "Set your heart at rest, countess, for before long I will make yon a great- er queen than either of your sisters." So he ps'omised her. He defeated Man- fred, the last of the Norman kings, and caused Conradino, the great-grandson of the Emperor Frederick, to be merciless- ly slain, be himself and Beatrice wit- nessing the scene. Upon the death of his brother Charles became king of Na- ples, thus fulfilling the cherished desire of his a ife for a diadem. Bloom. but to Die. The talipnt palm (Corypha nmbracu- 1ifera) of Celyon, whose leaves are put to sncb numerous uses by the Cinga- lese, bears fruit but once during its life. This elegant tree measures about 10 feet round the trunk and attains a height of about 180 feet. The flowers, the apearance of which presages death to the tree, are inclosed in a tall spathe, which bursts with a load report, dis- closing a huge plume of beautiful blos- som. The inflorescence is succeeded by equally conspicuous bunches of fruit. When these have ripened, the tree with- ers rapidly and in the course of a fort- night may be seen prostrate and decay- ing on the spot it adorned. A Verbal Melee. Going up on a Cedar avenue oar th other night the, passengers were mac entertained by a verbal spat between small citizen of German parentage an a tall native. The trouble all originate from the fact that the car was very much crowded, so crowded that the two disputants were brought face to face ip such close proximity that they couldn't make a gesture. "Push up a little, can't yon ?" in- quired the tall man in an irritable tone. Several people were pushing him, and his irritability was quite excusable. "Veil, no, I can't," replied the little man, "and, vat is more, I don't hef to." "You're not much of a gentleman," said the tall man. "Ob, I ton't know!" said the little man airily. "Ven I vent an opinion on chentlemen, I go to some fellow vat has got a leetle knowledge of der sub- jec, " "You're a very funny boy," said the tall man in a tone of deep sarcasm. "Veil," said the little man, "I may haf some senses of humor, but I'm not so hart hearted as to langh at der fool- ishness of one idiot." "Do you call me an idiot?" gasped the tall man. "As long as I ton't know your name," said the little man, "I couldn't make der identification any more gom- plete. " Pretty soon the car stopped to let off half a dozen passengers, and when things finally settled down the tall one and the short pn ewers separated by a dozen seats.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Lighting' g'Y Wind Pressure, e I Wind has for many years been resort* h ; ed to as a means of extinguishing a a ' flame, but a device has been recently d patented in this country by Ewald d Immortality Cranks. Immortality of fame is something de- sired by many, but attaine.1 by few, says Dr. John Fiske in The Atlantic. Physical immortality i„ something which has hitherto been supposed to be inexorably denied to human beings. The phase "All men are mortal" figures in textbooks of logic as the truest of truisms. But we have lately been as- sured that this is a mistake. It is only an induction based upon simple enu- meration, and the first man who escapes death will disprove it. So at least I was told by a very down- rigb% person who called on me some years ago with a huge parcel of manu- script, for which he wanted me to find him a publisher. He bad been cruelly snubbed and ill used, but truth would surely prevaij over bigotry, as in Gall - lei's case. I took his address and let him leave his manuscript. Its recipe for physical immortality, dilated through 600 pages, was simply to learn bow to go without food 1 Usually such a regimen will kill yon by the fifth day, but if at that critical moment, while at the point of death, yon make a heroic effort and stay alive, why, then yon will have overcome the king of terrors once for all. I returned the gentleman's manuscript with a polite note, regretting that his line of research was so remote from those to which I was accustomed that I could not give bins intelligent aid. A Curious Ashanti Custom. When children are born in Ashanti, they are at once rubbed all over with a mixture of oil and red ocher, this being repeated every two days. Their mouths armp' ached with a fiery concoction in which red pepper is the main ingredi- ent, and a crier goes through the town proclaiming the new arrival and claim- ing for it a name and a place among the living. Some one else in a distant part of the village acknowledges the fact and promises, on the part of the people, that the newborn babe shall be received into the community. The townspeople then aesemble in the streets. and the baby is brought ont and exposed to view. A basin of water is provided, and the headman. or chief of the town, sprin- kles water upon it, leaving it a name and invoking a blessing upon it, such as, for instance, that it may have health, grow up to manhood or womanhood, have a numerous progeny and possess riches. Most of those present follow the example of the headman, and the poor child is thoroughly drenched before the ceremony is ended. Every one who par- ticipates in the ceremony pledges him- self to be a friend to the child. Rice as a Detecter of Thieves. Not being able to trace anything in connection with theof loss the 2,000 rupees from the cash safe of the Surati Bazaar company, the directors have re- sorted to astrology and finally sorcery. Every employee of the bazaar was giv- en a mouthful of rice to eat which bad been previously put through some mag- ic preparation, the belief being that if the person who had taken the money ate the rice some very great misfortune would befall him. It is not recorded that any of the employees have yet met with a disaster.—Rangun Gazette. A. Slanderous Tale. "Briggs is awfully hoarse this morn- ing. " "YesYon know how damp it was list night?

This disk is operated by the pressure of a bulb con- nected by means of a small tube. One squeeze of the ball causes an igniting spark and also turns the disk to permit of the flow of gas. The next squeeze shuts this flow off. Filter. Lose Efficiency. Filters for purifying water are of many kinds in their mechanical struc- ture, but, according to the report of the Maryland state board of health, it would appear that such filters may steadily lose efficiency until they become first class vulture beds for bacteria. In evi- dence of this position an example cited is that of a man in Baltimore who sends the whole water supply of his house through a large filter and subsequently puts his drinking water through one of the small domestic filters common in the market. A test of this arrangement showed that. on a day when the city taps were running 510 bacteria to the cubic centimeter, the large filter was delivering some 9,900 bacteria in the same water, when the large filter was repacked, only nine bacteria per centi- meter got through it, though this same water, when passed through the sgiall filter. came ont with 71 bacteria per centimeter. This aspect of the matter is still further strengthened by another ex- ample. a case where a filter, supposed to be the best in the market, was in use. The effectiveness of this filter was so short lived that the precaution was observed of boiling the water after it was filtered. Tobacco Disease. To lovers of tobacco perhaps the fol- lowing investigation which Professor kleyerinck lately communicated to the Academy of Sciences at Amsterdam may not be without interest. The dis- ease known as the mosaic disease of to- bacco leaves. or the spot disease, may be inocnlated into healthy planta by in- jecting into the stem, near a bud, sap pressed from infected planta The ac- tive virus passes completely through the pores of very dense porcelain. It cannot be made to multiply out of ,the tobacco plant, but in the dividing tie - sues of the leaf rudiments it multiplies freely. A very small drop of the porce- lain filtrate can render all the leaves of the infected plant entirely covered with spots. The sap of these leaves would be sufficient for the contagion of an unlim- ited number of healthy planta It is consoling to know that the virus is de- stroyed by boiling it at as low a tem- perature as 90 degrees C., so that pre- sumably the use of diseased leaves in cigars would be attended by no ill con- sequences to the smoker. — London Chronicle Doilies With Crocheted Border. Tumbler doilies may be made of the smallest scraps of linen, the centers be- ing cut by the topof a tumbler, and as a -dainty border for these Modern Pris- cilla recommends the following crochet- ed in No. 90 cotton: Buttonhole the edge of the doily quite closely with the crochet cotton with short stitches. Using a fine steel hook, crochet around in d c (thread over needle), taking into every loop of, the buttonholing. Some- times this will make the border a little too full, and a loop may be skipped oc- casionally.

St. Louis woasen of fashion have i adopted the short rainy day skirt as a part of their walking costume. It may be seen any day on the streets and boule- vards. Boston originated, the idea. New York advocated it. Neither adopted it. In St. Louis and Chicago it has been adopted with such unanimity that dealers in and makers' of skirts cannot supply the demand. St. Louis women say: This is the thing we long have sought And mourned because we found it not. It is convenient, sensible, labor sav- ing, time economizing, trouble avert- ing and pretty. The fashionable house skirt which has a demitrain made the short skirt for the street possible. The long skirt drags and becomes soiled, while the short skirt never b comes muddy or draggled around the Fottom. The short skirt, not saving to be held up, gives freedom to the bands. The feet cannot become entangled in the short skirt and hinder rapid walk- ing. It cannot be caught under the feet when climbing stairs. It is an excellent thing for women who are out of doors a great deal. —St. Lori , Poet -Dispatch. The Bride of Easter, The Easter bride will be a very ex- travagant article, for the spring fabrics which are now being displayed in the shops are extremely high priced. One can scarcely give an idea cf the ex- treme delicacy of the thin goods and the cost and elegance of the linings. This is to be a season of rich linings and even the dress of the bride shares the peculiarity of other costumes, for it is very thin and is worn over a satin linin, One bride's gown designed by a very high priced Paris house of designers is of the finest silk tulle, with a double skirt or drop skirt made over a lining of the heaviest white satin. The bodice is also of fine silk tulle over a bite satin. Tho yoke is embroid- ered in r •ar'q and the vest, as the part of the waist below the yoke is called, is corn, oectl of deep ruffles of the finest, thinnebt tulle, one falling over the oth- er. The belt, which is a queer affair, not nnlike a girdle with the point at the Bide instead of the front, is of white and also embroidered in pearl trimming. A few white flowers at "Re belt are the only ornaments, save a tiara of pearls, which this bride is so fortunate as to possess.—Philadelphia Times. The Real Sacrifice. It always requires a great soul to make a real sacrifice of self. Many peo- ple seem to think that love is a nega- tive quality which enables one to suf- fer like a lamb at the sacrificial altar. But love is splendidly positive, a mar-_ tial virtue. Self sacrifice is not the ac- tion of tender, unselfish sonls who lie down with closed eyes and anbmit their throats to the edge of steel. The soldier who ventures all to carry forward the banner that he loves is the better type. It requires a great soul to prefer anoth- er's interest to his own, to yield with no vain regret and then go bravely for- ward to work for the success of the new plan. For it is no small test of great- ness when a man is called upon to see another grow greater than himself. It is the mark of small souls that the whole world is bounded by the horizon of their own lives.—Exchange. Tomb of Nancy Hanks. In a quiet spot near Lincoln junction, a terminal of the Rockport and Cannel- ton branch of the Air Line railroad, in Spencer county, Ind., is the grave of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of Abra- ham Lincoln. This long neglected resting place of the plain woman whose remarkable mental qualities Lincoln inherited had no mark whatever until early in the seventies, when a fund was raised by Rockport citizens to erect a small shaft. Now the veterans of the civil war, among whom are members of the old Second Obio brigade, the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth Illinois and the Twenty-sixth and Fifty-third Indiana, have undertaken to erect a more suit- able monument. Funds da for thisro' e P J have been subscribed, and the contract will be given out at once. Jeweled Eyeglasses. Delicate eyes are bow considered an opportunity for using jeweled eyeglass- es. A fashionable jeweler has contrived fancy spectacles heavily mounted in elaborately chased Roman gold. To them is attached a long, equally elabo- rate gold handle. They are then held to the eyes precisely after the fashion of a lorgnette. Single eyeglasses are daintily set in all manner of pretty styles, the rims studded with jewels, the glasses themselves being oval, square or round, according to the pref- erence of the owner. Lorgnettes are massive with gold and brilliant with gems. This fad is taking immensely with elderly women who wiah to avoid the appearance of age. There are to be no more slender gold bows resting upon old ladies' ears. These will be only for thi superannuated. Helen Kesler.

A California woman who said in her will, "I have no fear of the hereafter; O my Lord, teach me to live right, then in dying there is no sting," bore the prophetic Christian name of Eu- thanasia.* The name Dr. Physick, which might be looked for in some allegory, appears as the name of a real person in a recent law report.

The Irrepressible Small Boy. - This is a true story, and it really hap- pened in a New York family. It looks as if it might be an old story brought up to date or renovated for the occa- sion, but it is exactly as the small boy arranged it and net to the edification of his family. The small boy was very fond of ice cream. It never cloyed his palate. It was with the same delight that he saw it each time brought on the table, and upon each of these times he showed the exuberance of his feelings by crying in rapturous tones: "Oh -o -o 1 Ice cream! Ice cream ! Ice cream!" mnch to his mamma's annoyance. "People will think we never have ice cream or anything else to eat," she said to her son one day. "Now, we are going to have company to dinner tonight, and I don't want you to say a word when the ice cream is brought on. " The small boy promised. He really was a good little;4boy, and he intended to mind. But when the cream was brought on the old feeling of rapture was so strong_ that be forgot entirely and cried ou as usual. Then a remembered and stop- ped short, look g very repentant. He had .not inter, ed to call ont, and his mother was rtified. He changed his tone entirely: "We have ice cream almost every night," he remarked carelessly.—New York Times. Painfully Polite. The people of Dresden are very polite, so overpolite that they not infrequently bring domes ridicule upon themselves. It used to be told in that city that a stranger was one day crossing the great bridge that spans the Elbe and asked a native to direct him to a certain church which he wished to find. "Really. my dear sir," said the Dres- dener, bowing low, "I grieve greatly to say it, but I cannot tell yon." The •stranger passed on, a little sur- prised at this voluble answer to a sim- ple question. He had proceeded but a short distance when be heard hurried footsteps behind him, and, turning round, saw the same man running to catch up with him. In a moment his -pursuer was by his side, his breath nearly gone, but enough left to say hurriedly : "My dear sir, you asked me how you could find the church, and it pained me to have to say that I did not know. Just now I met my brother, but I grieve to say that he did not know either," Her Opinion In Full. The car 'turned sharply around a curve and the tail man who was hold- ing on to a strap somewhat loosely was suddenly thrown from his upright po- sition with a force that landed him in the lap of a dignified dowager sitting near him, while his high silk hat flew from his head and rolled down the aisle of the car. "Sir," " ghee said d as he rose to his feet again with profuse apologies, "I am compelled to say that in my judgment you were lacking in that complete grasp of the strap which was essential to the highest efficiency in maintaining an upright attitude when turning a curve." That was all. But it crashed him.— Chicago Tribune. As He Understands It.

The old fashioned cold has been ousted to some extent from its former position in domestic medicine by the modern in- fluenza, says The Medical Press An attack of influenza is a much better ex- cuse for nonattendance at the office or shop than a cold, the latter being com- monly regarded as an accommodation bill drawn by laziness or idleness. There is unquestionably such a thing as a cold —that is to say, a deviation from health obviously consequent upon and due to exposure to cold and damp. The initial sensation of cold is followed up by more or lees pronounced physical discomfort, possibly by more definite signs and symptoms of bronchitis or other disease a frigore. 'With that predilection for inexorable logic which characterizes the undiscerning, the average citizen re- gards every illness beginning with a chill as a cold, losing sight of the fact that there are chills—that is, sensations of cold—which are in nowise due to the actionf the e low temperatures. This vulgar error has been productive of serious consequences in more than one direction. Nowadays, and rightly, we are all for fresh air. We fear no foe save the ubiquitous microbe. and we fight him with fire and poison. with results that amply suffice to justify this war a l'ou- trance. It may, on the other band, be a person with a weak chest who experi- ences a "chill," and, as it is theoretic- ally impossible ever to exclude the in- fluence of cold, he or she attributes the symptoms which follow—the cough, the sweating, the expectoration, etc. —to incautious exposure, whereas the chill merely heralded a rise of temperature incidental to an outburst of tuberculous disease. It would surprise many intelligent people to be told that a chill is a sign that there is fever and that sweating is usually a sign that the fever is abating. Yet such is the unvarnished fact, and it would be well for it to be generally known. Cold is merely a debilitating agent, the effects whereof will vary ac- cording to the individual. It throws a strain on the organic machinery and the weakest part gives. If the machine as a whole is in good trim, nothing happens beyond a little temporary dis- comfort. In a rheumatic person it may determine pains in the joints; in anoth- er, bronchitis; in a third, kidney trou- ble, and so on. In abort, it picks out the weak spots and converts weakness into disease. Colds are notoriously in- fections, ann!- !`e -places where colds are most frequently caught are places where ventilation is defective and where mi- crobes abound, as in certain theaters, churches, _railway carriages and the like, so that even the symptcsns of the old fashioned cold are for the most part the result of microbial infection and not of exposure. Biggest Wheatfleld. The largest single wheatfield in the world is now being planted with grain. It covers over 25,000 acres or 40 square miles. This enormous field of grain is on the banks of the San Joaquin river, near the town of Clovis, in California, To get an idea of the enormous size of this great wheatfleld let ns imagine that one man had to handle the crops. If such were possible, how long would it take him ? Suppose the field wag 1 mile wide• and 40 ,miles long, and the oneman had a plow cutting a farrow 24 inches wide. He would start at a corner of the field and plow a distance of 40 miles. Then he would come back and cut another furrow, making 80 miles for the round trip. This amount of work would only be a tiny scratch 4 feet wide along one side of the 40 mile field, and the process would have to be repeated at least 1,300 times, making a total distance of about 105,000 miles. Suppose that the plow- man worked at the rate of 20 miles a day. To get over the 105,000 miles would take 5,250 days. To plant would take about the same time, making a to- tal of 10,500 days or nearly 80 years. It would be like spending a lifetime, and the distance traveled would be equivalent to going round the world four times.—Cincinnati Engrlirer. Usefulness of Air. Atmosphere is not alone valuable for breathing purposes. It prevents hail- stones from falling with terrible velocity and killing us like bullets. It prevents the fierce heat of the sun from burning ns up in the daytime by intercepting and storing it up and gives it off slowly at night to keep us warm. But for this action of the air the earth would be like a furnace by day and a freezing machine at night. Without air there would be no dew, and plants would languish. There would be no twilight without it, and when the sun went down the change from brilliant light to perfect darkness would be instantane- ous. The beautiful colors of the sky would be nonexistent, as they are due to the decomposition of light by moist air. Without air there would be no sound on the earth. We could never bear a human voice, music or the song of birds. No fire could burn, no gas, no lamps; there would be no factories, no ironware, no jams and marmalade, no sweets, no whisky or beer, no stiff col- lars and cuffs. Nhere Men Have the Advantage.

Process of Ossifleation, Whish May Be Retarded. To drink the waters of the fountain of youth is still, in the opinion of some, within the range of possibility, says Popular Science. Professor Blnfern ob- serves that man began in a gelatinous condition and ends in an osseous or bony one. He is soft in infancy ; he is hard in old age. Aging is a process of ossification. After middle life has passed a more marked development of the ossific character takes place. The arter- ies become thickened with calcareous matter, and there is interference with the circulation, upon which nutrition depends. The whole change from youth to old age is one of eteady accumulation of calcareous deposits in the system. En- tire blockade of the functions of the body is a mere matter of time, and the refuse matter deposited by the blood through the system stopa the delicate machinery we call- life. The blood con- tains compounds of lime, magnesia and iron. In the blood itself are these.earthy salts. In early life they are thrown off; in age they are not. Almost everything we eat contains these elements for de- stroying life. Earthy salts abound in the cereals, and bread itself, mistakenly called "the staff of life," is one of the most calcareous of edibles. Nitrogenous food also contains these elements; hence a diet made up of fruit is best for peo- ple advanced in years. The daily nee of water is, after middle life, one of the moat important means of preventing secretions and derangements of health. Diluted phosphoric acid is one of the most powerful inflnences known to sci- ence for shielding the human system from the inconvenience of old age. Use it daily with distilled water and so retard the approach of senility. To re- tain perpetual youth avoid all foods rich in the earth's salts, use much fruit, especially juicy, uncooked apples, and take daily two or three tumblerfuls of distilled water, with about 15 drops of diluted phosphoric acid in each glass- ful Thus will your days be longer in the land. Antidptes For Snake Poison. Dr. Thomas R. Fraser of the Univer- sity of Edinburgh has recently made public what he calls "an abeolnte anti- dote for the bite of the most deadly ser- pent." He says, "I have also found that the substance from which the anti- dote is sectired is strongest and best in the serpent whose bite is the most dead- ly." Briefly stated, this new antidote is the bile or secretion of the gall blad- der. In its crude form the bile is only administered directly to the wound or by the stomach. But the antidotal con- stituent of the bile is said to be the most effective when it is separated from the remainder of the substance found in a serpent's gall bladder and injected beneath the skin. Dr. Fraser says the bile of any serpent is an anti- dote for the bite of a venomous species. This seems very reasonable, for, as has long been known to scientists, the venom pf poisonous snakes has no ill effects when introduced—by accident or other- wise—into either their own circulation or thet.of the harmless kinds, common belief to the contrary notwithstanding. —Popular Science. Animals and Infection. Evidence that colds are infectious is °furnished by what we observe among our domestic animals. Cats seem to be specially susceptible. Probably they of- ten bring home from their nocturnal rambles those mysterious catarrhal at- tacks which so rapidly run through the house, says the London Spectator. It is an old saying, "The cat is sneezing; we shall all have colds." Sheep, too, are liable. A whole flock may suffer and may show that curious eruption round the lips (Herpes labialis) which we all know only too well as one of the most unpleasant accompaniments of a bad cold in the head. On the Australian sheep runs, when the shearing season comes round, the 'men who congregate at the sheds are frequently smitten with an illness of a catarrhal nature, which rapidly takes hold of them and often affects some 90 per cent. Some- times it becomes very serious and may even develop into fatal pneumonia. To all appearance it is caught from the sheep. Tumblers resembling in shape and dimensions those employed today have been found in great numbers in Pom- peii. They were made of gold, Wives, glass, marble, agate and precious stones 1 Cause of Laughter. Professor Bain suggests the explana- tion that laughter is provoked by what he calls a degradation, meaning that we laugh when we all at once perceive something degrading, a trickery, a weakness or a pettineas in some person or object that we respect, as when the infirmities of human nature disclose themselves in a person of importance, or when some trivial affair occurs in a solemn ceremony to drag us down, or When the wrong side of soma neat thing or some great man is exposed. "The occasion of the laughter is tbedegrada- tion of a dignified person or interest under circumstances that do not excite a stronger emotion. In all theories of laughter the more or less important fact is marked that the feeling of the ludicrous arises when something which we respected before is presented in a mean light, for we have no disposition to laugh when something that we al- ready regarded as such isdepicted as tricky and vile." • Burning Heretics. The following items, copied from the municipal records of Canterbury by The Windsor Magazine, show that the burning of heretics in 1686 (the time of the genial King Henry VIII) was an inexpensive amusement: To bringinng a here$le from London lee * For wood to born htm . !it 08 For gunpowder 3d A stake and staph.. at Toy, MUSHROOM GROWING. Interesting Methods Adopted by Workmen In Constructing Beds. Mnshroom growing is very expensive at first to the cultivators. The most perfect cleanliness has to be observed near tbe beds, which are about 22 inches high and about the same in di- ameter. They are covered over with silver sand and a whitish clay and run in parallel lines, with only a narrow path between, says the Philadelphia Times. An important item in mushroom cul- ture is fresh air. The farmer must know how much oxygen is needed by the fungi. Air holes are bored here and there and coke fires are set beneath. Thia insures the necessary renewal of fresh air. Temperature and moisture have also been studied, necessitating many doors to regulate the current of air. The construction of the beds for the spawn is an interesting process. Each workman site astride his bed, as if on -horseback, fills his arms with the ma- nure and presses it down between his lege, and thus they move along the beds with the jolting motion of a rider. When the beds attain the proper tem- perature. the spawn is sown. Small beds are devoted to the propagation of virgin spawn, which is more valuable than the spawn which is found abun- dantly in the old beds. From the time ,of the first preparation of the manure to the gathering of the harvest three months or so elapse. All the expenses connected therewith amount for each four feet of ground to 8 francs, and a profit is only realized when the apace yields more than four kilos of mush- rooms. The price of a kilo at the Cen- tral market in Paris is about 1 franc. A mushroom grower has to contend against rats and parasites of various kinds. As a remedy against the first evil cats are kept at these cloisters, but sometimes they catch their prey, but do• not eat it, and the mushrooms suffer from the decay of organic matter. Among the parasites a cryptogamic, re- joicing in the name of Myocgone rosea, which penetrates into the pores of the fungi, causes a lose estimated at not lees than $200,000 per annum in the Parisian caves alone. The smallest par- ticle of iron in the beds of manure is avoided by the spawn. Coal has also the same effect, a large circle around the obnoxious object remaining barren. A spiteful employee, wishing to injure his master, needs only to stick a rusty nail here and there in the beds, and a very serious loos of crops will result. The beds look very pretty when to full bearing, the less advanced ones being., dotted over with little white buttons about the size of peas, with other bede where the dazzlingly white product is ready for gathering. They are gathered roots and all. The beds remain in bear- ing from two to six months. Besides supplying the markets of Paris hundreds of pounds weight are exported and large quantities preserved. One grower alone sends 14,000 boxes of preserved mushrooms to England an- nually. Boring Metal. Morris Gibbs describes in Popular Science a remarkable instance of the _power and persistence of a wood borer which was recently observed. In aplit- !i /I pi 1. k BURROW OF WOOD BORER INTO LEAD BULLET. ting a piece of hickory a burrow of a borer was found which ran directly into a small leaden ballet which had been fired into the hard wood. The borer, the larval form of a beetle, had encoun- tered the bullet in its journeyings, and had not been deterred by the bard sub- stance in its path, but had attempted to gnaw through the bullet, only giv- ing over after having dug quite a hole in the lead. Hot Sand Bag. Dr. Belsharp says: Many persons are acquainted with the virtues of the hot water bag, but a sand - bag is still bet- ter. Get some clean, fine sand and dry it thoroughly in a kettle on the stove. Make a bag about eight inches square of flannel, fill it with the dry sand, sew the opening carefully together and cov- er the bag with cotton or linen cloth. This will prevent the sand from sifting ont and also enable yon to beat the bag quickly by placing it in the oven or on top of the stove. After once using this you will never again attempt to warm the feet or hands of a sick person with a bottle or a brick. The Band bolds the beat for a long time, and the bag can be tucked up to the back without hurting the invalid. Forethought. "Amanda," said the husband of the soon to be widowed young wife, "my last request is that yon will not let any- body know there is a large insurance on my life. I want you to live in un- disturbed enjoyment of it for a few years at least. "—Chicago Tribune. The first equestrian status erected in Great Britain was that of Charles at Charing Cross.

Not all 'fatigue, is dangerous or ab normal, says Science, and becanee chil- dren or scholars become tired it does not follow that they are overworked. The lowest functions, notably the heart beat, seem to .have. an automatic or semiautomatic form, of recuperation, eo that, provided there is no forcing of them to work at too high a speed, re- cuperation keeps pace with exhaustion. The highest functions, and most of all the brain energies demanded by civi- lised life, fatigue moat readily. At wbat point normal fatigue passes into ab- normal it isnot easy to determine. The beet test is the cape sty for recupera- tion. A fatigue, ho*iver severe, wheth- er physical or -menta', that' is totally dissipated by a night's rest can hardly be said to be abnormal. It is only when the principal is beingdrawn upon that the danger of exhauston begins. Severe effort, periods of strain and stress, are unavoidable in modern life. The capac- ity to nndergo them is a legitimate aim of education, but atilt more important Is the recognition of the danger line and the strength to refrain. A most im- portant phase of intellectual hygiene is that suggested by the dangers of ab- normal fatigue. Why Do Cats Hiss? Wby do otherwise well bred cats hiss and spit when enraged? Dr. Louis Rob- inson in Pearson'° answers the question in an article on "Wild Traits In Tame Animals. " Says Dr. Robinson: "The hissing and spitting of your kittens, even before they see, was, in the first place. probably an attempt to intimi- date enemies by making them think that the hole where the helpless wild kittens resided contained a venomous snake. It is a very curious and remark- able fact that many different kinds of creatures which have their homes in shallow holes have a similar habit of hissing or spitting when an enemy ap- proaches. Furthermore. I think it prob- able that the expression of a cat at bay is part of the same instinctive strata- gem. We know how general is the hor- ror of the serpent tribe throughout all nature, and hence it seems likely that the vary serpentlike aspect of the head of an enraged cat, together with its threatening, hiss, might disconcert an enemy sufficiently to ive an advantage to the cat. Cnrioa y enough. cats of all aspects have tb ' tails marked transversely iu a w Job resembles the markings . ,.. -a e4, wind naturaliits have reswrleed bow similar are the sinuous, waving movements of the tail of an angry cat to the move- ments of the tail of theenake in a state of excitement. The true tabby cat when it is curled up asleep has a cnrious re- semblance to a coiled serpent, and the same is tree of many wild cats of dif- ferent varieties and coming from dif- ferent parts of the world. If this really is an instance of protective mimicry, I think it is probable that the chief foe guarded against was the eagle. Eagles are very fond of cat's flesh, and it has been remarked by naturalists in various parts of the world that these formidable birds habitually make war apon the smaller felidia. " Best Part of Llfe. Life after 40 years of age is not the downhill road it is too often claimed to be, says Popular Science. Especially to the thoughtful man or woman, the best years are those after twoecore have been passed in preparation. There is the satisfaction, then, of doing the work with a master hand rather than that of tbe apprentice. The trained intellect sees everything more clearly and in bet- ter proportions, and the trained temper meets all obstacles to es more calmly and judiciously.

Everything has gradually taken on a new beauty as parts of a wondrous whole and the pleasure of advancing knowledge should increase with the advancing years. Life is no more measured by the years past than is the knowledge of the schoolboy by the pages "been over." The more thoroughly life's lessons have been learned the greater will be the effective- ness and satisfaction of the real work after the "commencement" at 40. Gold Soluble In Water. Contrary to the general belief, gold can be completely dissolved in water. The color of each a solution may be either red, bine, kurple or black. To make the red solution. a or, of carbonate or bicarbonate of soda is poured into a dilute solution of gold chloride, formaldehyde is added, and the mitture is brought to a boil while being stirred. The water employed meat be perfectly pure. The solation thus ob- tained is very weak. It ie concentrated by dialysis so as to contain as much as a gram of gold to the liter of water.

's Some one said once that yon could get almost anything for nothing in New York. This was brought practically to my notice a few days ago, says a writer in the New York Herald, as I was go- ing up town on Third avenue. I passed a barber shop which displayed this strange sign: "Ladies' Hairdressing Done Free Every Afternoon From 1 to 5 o'clock." As it was past 3 I was prompted by curiosity to go in and investigate. I found the "ladies' " hairdressing par- lor a neat, cozy place, with a number of chairs standing in 'front of a long mirror. which covered one side of the room. I was fortunate enough to find a sub- ject in the chair, who was having her Bair dressed. She was a middled aged, thick handed, respectable looking wom- an, who was going to the inevitable ball. "Doing" her Bair was a nice look- ing little woman. the head of the hair- dressing establishment, and gathered around the chair were half a dozen white coated young men, watching the process of the work and occasionally giving assistance. And that is how the apprentice or student in hairdressing gains his experience, and the clever women who are in touch with the trick get their hair dressed for nothing. The Prig and His Cane. In the number of The Tatler for Oct. 6, 1709, it ib observed that "a cane is part of the dress of a prig" (this, by the way, shows the erroneous notion prev- alent that "priggishness" is a modern word) "and always worn upon a but-. ton, for fear he should be thought to have an occasion for it or be esteemed really and not genteelly a cripple." In the number of Nov. 18 a rural squire in town is sketched who is the prototype of one of the pavement nui- sances: "His arms naturally swang at an unreasonable distance from hie sides, which, with the advantage of a cane that be brandished in a great variety of irregular motions, made it unsafe for any one to walk within several years of him." And under date of Dec. 5 there is an amusing sketch of "a lively, fresh col- ored young man" who was among the applicants to Isaac Bickerstaff's court of censorship for license to use "canes, perspective glasses, snuffboxes, orange flower waters and the like ornaments of life." This young man had his cane hanging on his fifth button and was "an Oxford scholar who was just en- tered at the temple. "—Gentleman's Magazine. _ ---, Froze the Quickened. "When I was out among the hills of northern India," said the major, "I had an experience that I wonder didn't turn my hair gray. I was camped all alone on the side of - the Ganges and had occasion to go for some water. Be- fore I kneunwhere I was I had stepped right into a quicksand. I knew what was np at once and knew that I was gone. As I stood there with that horri- ble sand dragging at me like some liv- ing monster I turned colder and cold- er. Do what I could my teeth would keep on clattering, thongh I knew that every vibration of my jaw was shaking me farther down into that ready made grave. Suddenly I noticed that I bad stopped sinking." "Struck the bottom, eh?" "Certainly not; I had grown so cold from horror and fear—I may as well admit—that I actually froze the water in the quicksand." If It Hadn't Been Sunday. "Had it not been the Sabbath day," said a Perthshire preacher to an elder "between the preachin's," "I would just have asked ye how the hay was selling in Perth on Friday." "Well, sir," said the elder, "had it nobeen the dayit is I wad jest hae tell't ye it was gaun at a shillin the stane." "Indeed 1 Well, had it been Monday instead of the Sabbath I would have told ye I have some to sell." "Umpb, aye, on aye, sir! And had it been Monday, as ye say, then I wad jest hae tell't ye I wad gie ye the mar- ket price for it." The elder's carte were at the manse early on Monday morning, and the preacher's haystack vanished like a highland mist. George's Teeth. The American Journal of Dental Sci- ence for 1848 states that George Wash- ington lost most of his natural teeth at an early age, relying upon the art and skill of one Mr. John Greenwood, a distinguished dentist of New York. to make good the deficiency. Washington's artificial teeth were manufactured from the ivory of the tusk of the elephant, the only material at that time employed for the purpose. Aa Episcopal Joke.

He said: "The displacement of the olecranon is accompanied by disable- ment of the whole arm for a long while. Webster describes the point as follows: 'The large process at the proximal end of the ulna which projects behind the articulation with the humerus and forma the bony prominence of the el- bow.' I have it with me. I fell on the ice in 1873 and broke off my left funny bone. It hurt, but I did not know what had happened for months, and then Dr. Henry Fish of Fargo told me. It was too late to do anything then except ex- ercise to bring my muscles into condi- tion. "A new development set in then, and the lower part of my forearm became flat, while the upper muscles developed. At present I can pull dr lift as much with that arm as I could at any time, but I cannot strike or push with it and cannot exert downward pressure with it at all, unless I hold my arm rigid and put the weight of my body upon it. I can scarcely bold a eheet of paper apon my desk, and for fully 12 months I conld not use my left arm at all. Per- haps it was because I did not have surgical attention soon enough. Recent - fragment of bone was clearly shown ly- ing loosely in the joint. After the frac- ture two splinters protruded from the skin and were removed." She Wanted to Know. Of women who wear black some wo- men always have an air of recent be- reavement which misleads the ordinary mind. At a railway station in this state not long ago a tall woman robed in deep black, accompanied by a young woman in colored garb, sat waiting for a train. Thp station matron hovered in the vicinity, evidently with something on her mind, and finally beckoned to the young woman, who went to see what was wanted. "Has she got a corpse with her?" the station matron asked. "Corpse?" the young woman ex- claimed, looking over her ehoulder in ghastly fright. "Who's got a corpse with her? What do you mead?" "Don't be scared, lady," the matron exclaimed. "Moat of 'em that travels in deep monrnin has corpses on the train. I just wanted to know if your lady had a corpse with her." "Goodness, no!" said the young "Her Her hn b nd' s a a been dead 60 years. Yon ought to be ashamed to shock people that way. Don't yon ever treat me that way again." The station matron looked disap- pointed, and the young woman went back and sat down 'without even feel- ing at liberty to tell the lady in black what had happened. — Indianapolis Journal. Even Though He,Hated Lawyers. President Dreher of Roanoke college tells this story of the late Edward Aus- ten of Boston : "Meeting President Eliot of Harvard some years ago, be said, witlra familiarity 'warranted by a life- long acquaintance: 'Stop, Charles. What is the nextbuilding you want at Cambridge?' "President Eliot replied, 'The build- ing we most need now is a new build- ing for the law school.' - " 'Oh,' said Mr. Austin, 'I bate law- yers! But what do you suppose such a building would cost?' "The president thought a moment and replied: 'It would depend on the material used. An adequate building of brick could be built for from $60,000 to $70,000.' " 'Are you sure,' asked Mr. Austin, 'that $100,000 would be enough to pro- vide a thoroughly good building?' " 'Yes,' replied the president. ';'I'm your man,' said Mr. Austin." Tomatoes and C A few years ago an eminent London physician, on my re-':tioning to him tomatoes as an article of diet for my- self. said, "Wby do yon eat tomatoes?" I said, "Why not?" He said: "Well, 1 think that there are grave reasons for thinking it possible that eating toma- toes increases, if it does not produce. the liability to cancer. I de not say poe' itively that it does eo. " It strikes a layman as a fact that the. consumption of tomatoes has in- creased as much in England of late years as has cancer. —Pall Mall Gazette.

The gentleman had rung the bell sev- eral times before the servant let him in. He was looking surprised and a trifle apprehensive when Mrs. Blykins came into the room. "I called, " he explained, "to inquire about your husband's health. He and I belong to the same organization, .And several of the members desired me to call to see how he is getting along. We were very sorry to hear of his illness." "It's very kind of yon, " she answered. There was a crash which shook the chandelier. She paid no attention to it. "I think it will be only a day or two before he is able to get out and go down town," she added. The slamming of doors echoed heavi- ly through the house. "Has he been dangerously sick?' "Not until today." "But I understood yon to say that he was convalescent." - "I think I may say that he is so. Ile wasn't well enough to be dangerous till this morning. But before noon he had discharged the trained nurse, quarreled with the cook, smashed a rocking chair against which he had stubbed his toe and thrown the canary bird out of the wifidow. Those are always hopeful symptoms with him, and I feel fairly justified- in saying tan ne to cohrraiee- oent. "—Washington Star. His Manner of Bath. At a little cosmopolitan gathering in a home on the North Side the company were discussing the unkind' thrust at Chicago for flatting the letter "a," when the girl from Boston remarked as she peered serenely over her glasses: "We always give it the continental accent. For instance, we say bawth." "Pshaw 1" said the New York girl, shrugging her handsome shoulders. "That isn't continental That's New England. Now, we always pronounce it barth." "You're away off," retorted Mise Chicago, going into the subject neck and elbows. "We are the most correct people in the world, with all the np to date knowledge there is, and we give it the full valne—baarth." "There's a Londoner among us," suggested one of the company. "Get him to pronounce the word and notice what he does with the 'a.' " So they tackled the bewildered Eng- lishman, without letting him know their motive, but asking him solemn questions about his opinion of the bath. After regarding them with a sphinxlike - etare through his monocled eye the gentleman from London said: "Quite so. Quite so. I always tub in the morning. "—Chicago Times -Herald. Black Fooled Them. Sir Wemyss Reid, in a personal sketch of his friend the late Mr. pack in The Speaker, tells how the novelist out- witted The Saturday Review. When "A Daughter of Heth" appeared, it took the town by storm, and as it ap- peared anonymously Sir Wemyss heard for the first time from an acquaintance who the author was: It was with a certain sense of injury that he asked, "Wjhy, if Black wrote the book, did he not put his name to it?" "Oh, don't yon know ?" was the in- stant response. "That is the best part of the joke. The Saturday Review has been 'down' upon everything he has written, so he purposely published this book anonymously in order to take in The Saturday Reviewers, and they were the first people to sound the praises of 'A Daughter of Heth.' If his name had been on the title page. they would have damned it. " Unlike many bits_ of gossip about successful authors, this—as Sir Wemyas learned later from Mr. Black's own lips —was strictly true. Dickens Was ••Load."; In the memoir of the late J. H.

"On one occasion," wrote the anther of tbe "Gentle Life," "we were walk- ing alking down Wellington street and just." passing the office of Household Words: when a hansom cab stopped and out stepped a gayly dressed gentleman.

IRVING TODD de SON. SATURDAY. APR. 15th. 1899. SECOND aerarr How It was Done. The first reliable information con- cerning the veto is found in the fol- lowing paragraph from The Belle Plaine Herald: Gov. Lind has taken The Herald's ad- vice, and so has vetoed the Staples bill for the establishment of insane asylums at Anoka and Hastings. The bill was a huge jobbery concern and The Herald so advised the governor, who then vetoed it. The governor is extremely fortunate in having such a conscientious coun- selor watching over public interests. It is humbly hoped that the amended bill may be more favorably con- sidered by our contemporary from Scott County. The Governor's Veto. Gnashing of teeth is now on the pro- gramme at Hastings and Anoka. Gov. Lind Ttoed the asylum bill provid- ing, for the erection of a building, at Anoka and the purchase of a site at Hast- ings. Peasetown and Toddville will here- after swear by the republicans and curse everything democratic.- Waseca Radical. The above is an unjustifiable libel so far as this city is concerned, the veto creating no sensation whatever. There was so very little for Hastings in the first bill that it is extremely doubtful whether our people would have put up the $11,500 additional to secure the site. The bill authorizing districts in cities of less than ten thousand in- habitants to issue bonds for building and equipping school houses having become a law, our board of education has taken the initiative and asks the council to call a special election for the purpose of voting upon the proposition. The resolution is con- servative, and commends itself to the favorable attention of our citizens. Ignatius Donnelly has a book in press entitled The Cipher in the Plays and on the Tombstone, which he ex- pects to settle the controversy as to the authorship of the so-called Shake- speare plays. He will follow this with another, The Cipher in the Ben Jonson Plays, showing that the latter were written by Francis Bacon. They are to be printed at his own expense. The legislature having refused to reduce the rate of interest on school lands to four per cent, the state aud- itor proposes to take immediate steps to collect the $600,000 now delin- a„,,e...,„ kw; tutid May, and every acre offered without reserve. The amended bill providing for asylums at Hastings and Anoka pass- ed the house, Wednesday by a vote of sixty-eight to thirty-seven, and the senate y-esterday. It now awaits the governor's signature. The Younger parole bill was de- feated in the house on Monday by a vote of thirty-one to sixty-eight, which probably ends the matter for at least two years. The treasury department issues an order making St. Paul a port of entry, and appointing a tea inspector there. A bonded warehouse will also be built. L. C. Lord, president of the nor- mal school at Moorhead, has been elected to a similar position in the school at Charleston, Ill. The treaty of peace with Spain was formally ratified in Washington on Tuesday, and the war is now officially, - over. The steamer Eillen, owned by Capt. Jacob Richtman and Sons, was sunk this side of St. Louis on the 6th inst. C. J. Haines, of The Wabasha Standard, was re-elected mayor last week, a well deserved compliment. Andrew Nelson, of Benson, has been appointed assistant superintend- ent of public instruction. The legislature adjourns next Tues- day. It will only require about eight days more to complete the sheep shearing at this point. Long & Co. are doing the work for all the feeders in the yards this year. They have a plant . ; of twenty-six machines, run by a 4 4a. 4 seven -horse gasoline engine, and the force have made a record of two thousand, eight hundred, and thirty- four head in a day. The average is over one hundred head apiece per day. , This is the second year of shearing, and it is yery satisfactory. Long & Co. are shearing about fifteen thous- and; Rea Bros., twenty-five thousand; A. M. Cree, six thousand; Beasley & 1 , Co., seven thousand, five hundred; ; Heitman, Daniels, Spencer, and others, seventeen thousand; Ralph Barry, nine thousand. About six hundred thousand pounds of wool will be taken off the eighty thousand sheep. The shearers receive six cents per head for Iambs and seven cents for sheep. -South St. Paul Reporter. 1 Dr. A.

By the death Sunday evening of Thomas Gill, of Greenvale, there passed away one of those who took part in the development of this coun- try, and who could rightfully be class- ed among the very earliest of the early settlers. For nearly half a century he has resided in Greenvale, and was among the well known figures of that section. His death came after about a year's sickness, his advanced age of seventy-five years making him unable to withstand disease. Funeral ser- vices were held from his late home Tuesday afternoon, at two o'clock, and the remains were laid to rest in the Greenvale cemetery. The Rev. Levi Gleason, a former pastor, conducted the obsequies. Mr. Gill was a native of the Isle of Man, where he was born March 25th, 1824. When twenty-one years of age he crossed over the sea to America, and coming west to Illinois engaged in lead mining at the then thriving town of Galena. He went to California to seek fortune, but soon returned and came up to Minne- sota in company with Thomas Hodg- son, William Kegg, and John Clague. That was in the fall of 1854, and they spent the winter in Greenvale, the first white men to settle there. Going back to Galena in the spring Mr. Gill returned with his family, and as soon as the services of a surveyor could be obtained pre-empted a farm of one hundred and sixty acres which has remained his home to. this day. His family numbered Waive, of whom eight are now living: Thomas Gill, of this city, J. N. Gill, W. J. Gill, George Gill, Mary Gill, and Mrs. John Lace, all of Greenvale, Edward Gill and Mrs. C. Livingston, living in Missouri. Mrs. Gill died seven years ago. Mr. Gill passed an honored and useful lite in the community of which he was a member. A man of scrupulous honesty, he was respected by all who knew him. -Northfield News, 8th. Langdon Items. C. H. Gilmore was in Minneapolis Wednesday. L. W. Turnbull was up from Hast- ings Sunday.

Truax completed the well on Mrs. Whitbred's farm Wedpesday at a depth of one hundred and eighty- seven feet, with thirty feet of water. They will put up a wind mill soon. The Gardner MCI. The new engine at the Gardner Mill was built by the Twin City Iron Works of Minneapolis, being the largest compound condensing Corliss engine yet turned outlay this concern. Its capacity is five hundred horse power, weight thirty tons, and the aggregate cost, including foundations, settings, etc., about $10,000. The fly wheel is fifteen feet in diameter, thir- ty inches face, and weighs twenty-six thousand pounds. It carries a thir- ty-six inch, three-ply, leather belt, one hundred and fifty feet long, which drives all the machinery in the mill and elevator. The cost of this belt was aboat $750. Eight car loads of stone went into the foundation. The engine is in charge of Charles Gall, chief engineer and electrician, and Nels Olson, night engineer. At present the mill is entirely run by water, but the new power was deem- ed an absolute necessity to insure its continuous operation at all seasons. Charles Espenschied, of St. Louis, owner of the property, is to be con- gratulated upon the extensive im- provements made in the plant, an evi- dence of his confidence in the future of Hastings.

To the Editor of The Gazette: The Farmington Tribune of Mar. 24th, in its comments upon the action of the board of county comniissioners in locating the poor -house, says: Com. Strathern voted persistently against the interests of his district. No one blames the other commissioners for doing what they considered was the best interest of his district; but Mr. Strathern going against his friends is a decidedly ungrateful action. Now I do not know whether Mr. Strathern did a wise tliing or not in voting against his district, but it seems to me -that in so doing he has proved that he has a different idea as to what official duty is than that too commonly entertained. I think his action in this matter shows plainly that the question with him was the best interest of the whole county. He is not commissioner of a district, but of the whole county, for which he has solemnly promised to serve faith- fully. It this had not been his idea of duty be would undoubtedly have voted for his friends, which is a very natural thing to do, but to vote against his district and his friends reqaires a high sense of dirty and a good backbone. If I have interpre- ted Mr. Steathern's action rightly, and I am. satiefied I have, would say te Mr. Strathern, go ahead and do your committee to present the atter-to duty. Even though friends curse you, now, they will return later on, battik friends, ,real friends. - Connell Proceeding*. Regular meetins, Apr. 10th. Pres- ent Alds.

JOHN VAN SLYKE ET ALS. To the Mayor and City Council of the City of Hastings, Miun.: Your petitioner, Louis Niedere, respect- fully states that he was a candidate for the office of alderman of the third ward of said city of Hastings, at the annual elec- tion of said city held on Apr. 4th, 1899, and that one George Emerson was also a candidate for election to the same office. That the judges of election in said third ward canvassed the Note cast at said elec- tion and determined and declared that George Emerson had received one hun- dred and thirty-one votes for the office of alderman for said ward, and thereupon declared said George Emerson elected to said office. Your petitioner further states that he is informed and believes that he received a larger number of legal votes for said office than the said George Emerson, and that he should have been declared elected to said office. Your petitioner therefore prays that your honorable body will make due examination as to the number of votes cast for the respective aldermen in said ward by the legal voters thereof and take such action as may be necessary, and as to your honorable body may seem proper in relation to said election and determine who was elected as alderman from that ward.

An Important Mining Transaction. One of the most important mining deals in the annals of Yavapai Coun- ty was consummated Monday, April 3d, by the organization of The Co- operative Investment and Developing, Gold and Silver Mining Company of Arizona. The parties to the transac- tion are Senator A. H. Truax and F. M. Thomas, of Minnesota, David Weikel, of Lamont, Mo., and T. J. Boltz and George Wickler, of this city. Senator Truax is a business man of extensive and varied expe- rience, and his business associate, Mr. Thomas, possesses keen business tact coupled with much ability. These two gentlemen have been very closely allied in business affairs for more than five years past, in the matter of railway construction and in govern- ment contracts. As to Messrs. Boltz and Wickler, these two gentlemen are so well and favorably 'known here they need no special introduction to the people of this county. The above- named corporation is organized upon what may appear to many as new and untried lines; such, however, is not the ease, as the co operative system, properly conducted, has proven itself to.be a most -and we might say the only -successful method of conduct- ing any large and complicated busi- ness. This company has acquired a well-known group of mining proper- ties situated in this county, and with- in fourteen miles of Prescott. Their mines have all been thoroughly and extensively prospected; in fact, they are sufficiently developed to show up large ore bodies, which has been as- sayed, milled, smelted, and sampled, and to such an extent that there is really no uncertainty as to their val- ues and bullion producing capacity. Knowing whereof we speak, it is our candid opinion, and time and develop- ment will verify our prediction, that, with good business management, these mines can easily- be developed into multi -millionaire propositions. - Prescott (Ara.)

Such is the result practice! Just now the conditions were e tremely favorable, the day being war and the fence corner grass grown an shady, so the tramp lay upon his bac with one leg thrown over the other an his hat pulled down over his forehead. Over in the field .opposite a farme was plowing up stubble, pausing no and then to wipe his perspiring face while his blue shirt clung in dam streaks to his skin. The tramp watched him meditatively "I wonder why people like to work?' he eoliloquized. "Queer! They're al just the same. I bet that chap own this whole place all round here, but h ain't havin as good a time as I am and ain't got a red cent. I wonde what people want to be always werki for when they might be takin it easy It's a funny world. Wisht I had chew of terbaccer." By and by the tramp climbed th ' fence and began to investigate a hay stack standing a short distance from the road. "Might's well fix my bed for to night," he said and squirmel into the heart of the stack. Presently he heard the sound of voices. It was probably the farmer, and he lay still in his bid- ing place.

We can"— The voices died away. The tramp terned over on his side. "Train wreckers! Well, it ain't no bnsiness of mine," he grunted. Nevertheless the vision of a wrecked train disturbed his nap. and he crawled out of his hole. He sat on the fence and nursed his ragged foot, watching the "It's a pity for so many people. I guess some of 'em would be young, too; maybe some little babies; Maybe a feller about my age. They're all a -look - in at the sun for the last time if they only knew it." What kind of a queer feeling was this? He tried to whistle it off, but it only came back the stronger. The frogs' singing had never disturbed him before, but tonight it sounded weird and sad, and after awhile the very stars came out and looked at him as if they knew something about it. "What a stronge thing it must be to die! Maybe somebody'll be waitin and waitin for some of those people to come Not in his remotest past could he re- member any love, but somehow he un- derstood this waiting.

The tramp flung his coat in the gully and sprang to his feet, wav ing the lantern up and down over hi head. Five pistol shots rung out sharp ly above the noise of the train, the Ian tern tumbled into the gully, and th tramp fell forward across the track, th engine coming to a standstill withi two feet of his body. Instantly a clamor of voices arose the engine puffed breathlessly, ligh flashed through the darkness, the tie were examined, the lantern, the coa and an empty pistol were rescued from the gully, and the tramp was lifted by dozen pairs of hands. "He is dead!" they cried. "Sho dead! Murdered by train wreckers!" A young doctor elbowed his wa through the crowd. He was of tall commanding preeence, and they fell back before his authoritative voice. "Make way, there!" He knelt down beside the tramp and after a rapid examination said: "Th man isn't even seriously hurt. There i only a flesh wonnd in the hip. He ha fainted from fright." Even as he spoke the tramp opened his eyes. A young girl sat down and took his shaggy head into her lap, where he moved uneasily from time to time as he told his story. "He's a real herol" cried the girl. "A brave, noble fellow, God bless him!" cried another woman. A man held his brandy flask to the tramp's lips and another shook his hand heartily. The tramp seemed to hardly understand it all. He blinked at them stupidly, but clung to the brandy flask. They carried him aboard the train, and the engine backed slowly toward the town, a mile away, 'and as the tramp reclined upon velvet cushions, surrounded by sympathetic faces, for the first time in his life treated as an equal, a man among men, strange, new desires stirred vaguely in his heart. "I ain't been nothin but a no 'count so fur." he thought, "but I'm mighty glad I could save 'em all, mighty glad." "We will make up a suitable reward or that brave fellow," said an old gen- leman, but the young doctor spoke up uddenly. "See here! That man is a fake! His tory is the thinnest I ever heard. I say e took up those rails and waved the ain in the hope of a reward, shooting imself to give weight to the story. Do on think of five shots aimed straight t a man only one would hit him and nilict a slight flesh wound? And if he eared the wreckers why didn't he ave the train on the other side of the urvef Any sane man would have done at." This was an indisputable fact, and he passengers began to comprehend the hole matter. "He says he heard the two men at 6 'clock," the young doctor went on. Why, he could have gone to Fords- ville and got a posse to capture them in at time! And he says he took the ntern from a farmhouse stable. Why, e could have gone in and informed the armer1 Pshaw! The thing couldn't be lainer. He was after the reward. You ill be lucky if you are not sent up for his, old fellow." The passengers laughed or were an- y, according to their various temper- ments, while the tramp tried to nn- erstand the meaning of the change in eir manner, but could not earactly omprehend. Hadn't he saved the train ? They took him to the hospital at ordsville, and later on the men whom ey had left behind came in to report at they could not fuad the slightest ace of the wreckers or any evidence prove the truth of the tramp's pre- sterons story. In the morning the young doctor lied at the hospital, and the nurse be received him said: "The man is ead. He died during the night of heart" sease, from the fright, I suppose." She showed him the bed, and they th stood looking down on the still rm lying there.

He sat down by the roadside and said sullenly: "It ain't none of my busi- ness. I ain't got nothin to do with it. It don't concernsuse any." But after awhile he went on again.

These facts seem to show that snakes have a very keen sense of smell and are largely 'tided by it in the choice of their food. In Sympathy.

Young Mr. and Mrs. Smith were pre- paring to make a visit to friends for a few days. Their baby was only 2 months old, but was an important member of the family just the same. Mr. Smith was up stairs and Mrs. Smith down stairs, putting on her tkings and get- ting ready to start. "Finny, " she called oat to her better half on the floor above, "please bring me my gloves! They are lying on the dresser. And bring me my overshoes and veil and that hatpin lying on top of the chiffonier and a few of those animal cracker* for baby, and don't forget the baby's toothbrush." Poor hubby had a•bard time finding everything his wife wanted. He was a long while making his appearance and finally his wife called to him, "What is keeping you, dear?" "Oh, that confounded toothbrush for baby ! I have everything but that." Then Mrs. Smith laughed. "Yon silly duck," said she, "did you not know that I was only joking?

Down this hole the stream pours and is lost forever. By means of ropes and weights the sink hole has been sounded to a depth of 400 feet. and still -the bottom has not been reached.

It iS a matter of common knowledge, says an English exchange, that the late Sir Andrew Clarke cured himself of consumption by living as ranch as pos- sible in the open air. The principle in- volved has since been generally recog- nized by the medical profession, with the result that the old bad practice of keeping consumptives in warm, stuffy rooms has been almost entirely aban- doned. It is fresh air which is mainly responsible for the cures worked att'snch places as Davos, where the patients spend 14 hours a day out of doors, breathing cold, bracing mountain, air, while they are exhilarated by bright snnshine. The result is that each dis- eased spot in the lungs is cut off from the healthy tisane by a ring of stretched cells. across which disease germs can- not pass. and so the malady is arrested nntil the strengthened body can over: come it. Worse Than Not StoPIHnIE. An Englishm`an traveling in Mary- land had occasion to investigate the rnnning time of the trains that passed through the small place where he was stopping. Carefully searching a time table he found apparently that there would be an express train due at 4 o'clock that afternoon.

The traveler was annoyed, and, turn- ing to a colored man who stood near, remarked 7 "That train didn't stop!" • "No, sir," replied the colored citizen cheerfully: "didn't ev'n bes'tate." Sweet.

It is generally supposed that the Ser- pents exhibited by snake charmers have been deprived of their fangs, and this is doubtless often the case, while one instance at leaet is recorded in which the mouth of the snake had been eewed together to prevent it from biting. The vsriter noticed at the Ceylon ex- hibition, given some years ago in Lon• don, that one of the snake charmers, finding the cobra he was exhibiting be- coming too lively and aggressive, seized the reptile by the neck and thrnet it hastily into the small round basket in which it was carried, at the same time pushing it with a voluminotur- white cloth, at which it bit savagely. Having almost closed the lid of the basket, the man drew away the cloth violently, thns doubtless dragging out the fangs which were fastened in it. He then se- cured the basket and carried it away. This, of course, required a large amount of cool courage as well as great quick- ness of hand and eye, all of which quells ties must be doubly necessary in cap- turing and taming these deadly reptiles. But if we are astonished at the skill and dexterity displayed by Indian snake charmers, still more must we marvel at the hardihood of the American Indians, who, in their snake dances, not only handle the deadly rattlesnake with im- punity, but absolutely carry it about in their inouths.—Westminster Review. Theater Ticket.. The fact that a ticket bought for a theater and not used on the date stamp- ed tar it is always good for an admit- tance is not generally known and prob- ably theater managers would take very little trouble to spread knowledge of the fact, but it is nevertheless true. "A man who buys a reservad seat for a theater," said a theater treasurer who handles more tickets every season than any other in New York, "may not use it en the evening for which he bought it. 'Good for this date only' may be stamped on the pasteboard. Tbat wonld seem to mean that the ticket could be used at no other time. Probably most of the public accept that as proving the impossibility of 'making use of the tick- et, and therefore few Melo any attempt to get the worth of their money when they are preventsd by any cause from using the ticket on the date marked on it. But it could be presented at any time and would be good for an admis- sion. "Any theater manager would have to recogrize the holder's right to enter the theater, although that would, of course, carry with it no right to the seat. It is that right which is limited by the printed date. For all other pur- poses the ticket is quite as good as if used on the date it bears. "—New York Sun. Reckless Extravagance.

While the - archbishop and his guests were walking through the grounds the prelate plucked from a bush a leaf which, he declared. had a most nauseous flavor. "Taste it," said he, handing the leaf to one of the clergy. The latter smil- ingly obeyed, and then with a wry face subscribed to the botanical orthodoxy of the archbishop.

This event happened in the year 1883, and ever sinee that date the unfortunate lady has been vainly trying to repro- duce her wonderful cake.

Tripler of New York is • turning out liquefied air by the gaUon, and a description of his achievements • in The Century is a veritable fairy tale • of science. Fancy a kettle of liquefied • air going off in steam when set upon a block of ice, because the latter is sev- • eral hundred degrees warmer than the • air! It may not be long before the ex- pression "as cold as ice" will cease to be heard and "as hot as ice" adopted. • It certainly is surprising to see the • liquid air poured upon ice fly off hiss- ing like water from hot iron, but when one reflects that the ice is 344 degrees • hotter than tyhe liquid it does not seem • so strange, oft to see one's breath blown • into the open can of liquid sent back instantly its moisture congealed into a • miniature snow storm. A jet of steam • is frozen as quickly, for steam in the ss open air is only 114 degrees hotter than the breath, while from the temperature • of steam to that of liquid air is a terri- • ble drop of 524 degrees ! In this freezing • effect probably is found the greatest ob- stacle to the use of liquid air as a • motive power. The moisture of the air • is deposited rapidly as ice upon the ma- chine especially around the orifice from which the jet of extremely cold air • emerges. This soon closes the orifice • completely and stops the machine. Another surprise is given when the experimenter puts his hand directly into • the liquid for a moment. But the ien- cation is only as of a soft cushion of air • about the hand. Snch it really is. The heat of the hand forms a layer of vapor • or air about the hand, and the liquid • air does not come in contact with the • flesh. Should the liquid actually touch the flesh a severe injury like a hnrn re- • sults, which sometimes is months in • healing. In a few seconds an egg is • frozen so that it requires a hard blow of a hammer to break it. Probably its • germ of life is extinct. Seeds of grains • il'nd vegetables have been tested in liquid air. These were all natives of • the temperate zone, the seeds of which • will pass the winter in frozen earth • without loss of vitality, such as barley and oats for grains, and peas, cucnm- • bers and squashes for vegetables. They • are kept for 110 hours at 312 degrees • below zero and then slowly thawed for 50 hours. After this treatment they • were still alive. On being planted, they • germinated and grew. The .liquidair boils in a dish till it bas cooled the dish to its own tempera- • ture. Its boiling point is 312 below zero. After this the vapor of air which • covers the liquid so retards_evaporation that it may be kept eight or ten hours • in a can packed only in felt. It has in • this way been carried 250 miles from • the place of manufacture. The cooling effect upon the air of the room is very • marked. The writer gave two lectures • in one afternoon with liquid air. Said • a lady of the second audience as she entered the lecture room, "How cold • your room is!" The temperature had been lowered 10 or 12 degrees by the evaporation of the air used in the first lecture. All other liquids are frozen when put into liquid air. Mercury becomes like iron, so that it will drive a nail, hold up a weight or serve any other purpose • as :i metal, so long as it is kept frozen. • Absolute alcohol soon becomes solid. A • tube of liquid air dipped into a glass of water rapidly converts the water into • ice. By removing the ice from the glass • and the tube from the ice there remains a dish of ice into which liquid oxygen may be poured. A steel pen tipped with • a match or an electric light carbon red- * hot at its tip will burn in this with in- tense heat and light. Between the liq- • nid oxygen and the burning steel are • about 3,300 degrees, and yet the ice tumbler is not affected. Of course the oxygen is turned into a gas before com- e bustion begins. Liquid oxygen cannot • support combustion. • c• • • - 1'• 0 • • • • • GRIFFIN BROS. ••• ,-„,,,,,,••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••O• 0 O The Power of Adaptation.

An eminent doctor has been investi- gating the malady and buts come to the conclusion that sunstroke is not due simply to excessive heat or exposure to the full rays of a cloudless sun. He de- clares that sunstroke is, on the con- trary, an infections disease, caused, like fever or smallpox, by rn'cific organ- ism or germ. But this g :_.n he has not yet succeeded in isolating, though be hopes in coarse of time to do so. There is little doubt, he says. that the germ is bred in the superficial layers of the soil in certain low lying regions of the earth and that it is imbibed into the hnman system by the breathing of dusty air.

There is a barber shop in an up town avenue in New York where music goes with every shave. Never a barber is hired there who cannot twinkle the sweet mandolin or plunk the dreamy guitar. The gentleman who can play on no in- strument but the razor and the shears has no welcome in this tonsorial parlor, for the boss barber is musical and loves to mingle celestial strains with the tor- ture of the harber chair. Whenever a chair is vacant, the attendant genies sits him down and performs on his fa- vorite instrument. Had Not Forgotten It.

For a number of years it has been the conviction of some railroad men that the use of a white light at night as a signal for a clear track is dangerous, inasmuch as a red danger signal may easily be broken, and thus give an "all clear" signal. One of the most recent changes iu signals, due to that opinion, is that which the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford road bas decided to make. On this line, in the near future, a green light will mean safety, and white will not. The innovation has been brought about in a large measure by an accident which resulted from the deception of an engineer by a farmer's lantern set on a poet near the track. There was no intent to make mischief, but the effect was Jost as disastrous. That's Ali. Bill -Did you ever shoot at clay pi- geons?

We find in the columns of a contem- porary the appeal of a young French novelist, Alcanter de Brahms, for a new mark of punctuation. The French writer points ont thpt, while we have marks of exclamation and interroga- tion, there is nothing to denote irony, so that the innocent reader may follow Dean Swift through his modest proposal for utilizing the babies of Ireland for meat without discovering that he is not in earnest. To this the New England editor replies that "no doubt a mark of irony (thus, _=) would be a valuable thing for readers of that class, but the difficulty would be to induce writers to use it." -Literature. The Judge Let Him Smoke. While General Lew Wallace was ar- guing a civil cape in an Indiana court one day recently he lit a cigar. When he was told that snch practices, though once prevailing there, had recently been abolished, he asked to be allowed, as the oldest member of the local bar, the privilege of continuing and further de- clared that smoking was necessary to his health. Then the judge smiled and formally extended the courtesy, and the incident was recorded on the min- utes of the court. A Rare Bird. Practically the most valuable and rarest bird in the world is the "takahe" of New Zealand. Only four have ever been seen by white men since 1849, when the first was caught.

According to reports from India, the British government has presented the king of Siam with the dust of Buddha found in a shrine at Nepani, but no particulars are given. Buddha died in his native city, Gaya, on the banks ofthe Ganges. The date of his death is in dispute. The authorities differ as far as 2,000 years. As tradi- tion has it, when the body was about to be burned, according to the customs of those times, the pyre could not he kindled, but after the feet of the dead had been anointed the "flame of con- templation" burst out in Buddha's breast, and the corpse was consumed. There was a struggle for the posses- sion of the heaven scented ashes, which were finally divided into seven parts and presented to seven different cities. One part went to Nepaul, where there was a rich Buddhist community. Relics of Buddha are scattered all over Asia, like the relics of Christ among the Catholic countries of Europe. They are found in India, China, Japan, Siam and the East Indies. The most renowned relic is an eyetooth, which is kept in a splendid shrine in Ceylon. A Tree With Whiskers. J. W.

It can be used for weaving into cloth, stuffing collars, bnggy cushions and various other purposes for which strong hair is used.

The lyddite shells used at the born• bardment of Khartum, cr rather Om- durman, have evidently gained official approval, as the vessels of the channel squadron are exchanging a number of the ordinary shell in their magazines for projectiles having a bursting charge of lyddite. Lyddite is practically the same as melinite, and it is to be hoped that the authorities have satisfied them- selves that it is sufficiently stable to stand the high temperature of the mag- azines on our ships of war without de- teriorating in quality or incurring any tisk of premature explosion. -London (Fla i l The Sensitive Porgy. The porgy, common as it is, is a beautiful fish when seen in the water in a favorable light, and it is likewise one of the most sensitive of fishes. In captivity it is easily frightened. It will take alarm from something done by a passing visitor, a thoughtless touching of glass, or something of that sort, and go rushing around nntil it is exhausted. Sometimes a porgy in a tank may, when frightened, jamp out of the water and bump its nose against the wire screen over the tank and be seemingly paralyzed by the shock and rendered un- able to swim. In such a condition it will lie upon its back, motionless, ex- cept perhaps for a fluttering of its fins, for an hour, and then it may come back all right again and swim about so lively and in such good form that you can't tell then which fish of the lot it was that had bumped its head. A peculiarity of the porgy is its lia- bility to blindness. Blindness is not un- common among fishes, but there are perhaps more blind porgies than there are fish of any other kind. There's a saying among fishermen. "As blind as a porgy. "-New York San.

In the Rambla, the principal street of Barcelona, may be seen several of these writing booths of the public scribes. There for a small consideration the il- literate or any one else may have any- thing indited from the poetry of a love epistle to the prosaic application for a situation. The front of each booth is placarded with the name of the scribe and the services he is prepared to ren- der to his customers. Some scribes com- bine the art of painting with that of writing, and all add to their activities the business of registry offices for serv- ants. "A Female Stranger., In St. Paul's churchyard, in Alex- andria, Va., is a marble tombstone bearing this inscription: To the memory of a female stranger: How loved, how honored once avails thee not; To whom related or by whom begot; A heap of dust alone remains of thee. 'Tis all thou art, and all the proud shall be. This strange inscription raised much conjecture. The facts, as nearly as known, aredhat in May, 1816, a man and a beautiful girl, accompanied by a valet, arrived at Alexandria in an Eng- lish vessel. They shunned every one. Five months afterward the girl died. The husband staid long enongh to erect a monument, left a sum of money to repair it and then sailed away and was never beard of again. Several novels have been founded upon this sad and romantic incident. Obeyed the Brigands.

The superintendent of public in struction will pare down the summer schools to come within the reduced appropriation of $20,000.

The Anoka -Hastings asylum bill is now a law, having received the gover- nor's signature late Saturday after- noon. Candor compels The Union to say that it is far from satisfied with the final result. All that our city can expect to gain from the bill is a cottage or two, not to cost more than $62,500, but a little more than the citizens of the county and city have expended in the bitter and long drawn out contest. The bill provides for asylums instead of hospitals, and none but the chronic insane are to be brought here, and the patients will require no medical corps, guards, or nurses. Anoka has got something a little better than nothing, thanks to the accident who occupies the governor's chair. -Anoka Union. Now while you are talking about candidates for governor, who will beat John Lind out of his boots in 1900, what's the matter with Speaker Dare? He makes friends easily and holds them because he is manly and fair, and not troubled with that dead- ly disease known as big head. He has presided over this session of the legislature with a dignity, fairness, modesty, and firmness which are re- freshing when compared with some other people we might mention. These are the qualities which go to make a good governor. Dare will be heard from in the future, and don't you forget it. He is not only a gubernatorial possibility, but quite a probability.- West St. Paul Times. John Lind, as governor of Minne- sota, is no better nor no worse than his republican predecessors. Where he has a chance to strengthen him- self for a re-election. a year from next fall, he does what will win ap- plause and approbation, on the other hand if he can make nothing by do- ing his duty, as guaged by a future election, he simply winks the other eye. Possibly this view of him officially will be considered unjust, when it is remembered the writer was a candidate for the position of deputy oil inspector and got turned down. But just the same, dear reader, watch the way he moves. -Mankato Ledger. Apparently Gov. Lind's only rea- son for vetoing the original Anoka - Hastings bill was that it provided for a hospital instead of an asylum. The second bill, which the governor sign- ed, will occasion larger expenditures than the one which he vetoed, but it provides for two asylums, which must be more soothing and restful to the demented than another structure call- ed a hospital. This is a ease of link- ed lunkheadedness long drawn out. - St. Paul Dispatch. Langdon Items. Freak Sturgis has a new bicycle. Linna Hopkins, of St. Paul, is in toe a. Supt. F. S.

Last Wednesday morning the house passed what is known as the Barker bill, which provides'asyluma or insti- tutions where the insane are detained, both at Hastings and Anoka. This vicious method of caring for these unfortunate wards of the state was made necessary by the obstruction by the governor of more humane method of the other bill. Under this measure the insane whom the medical authorities of the regular insane hos- pitals agree are incurable will be huddled together in these institutions to await the final summons without having that special medical care to which they are entitled. The Times believes that these uufortuuate citi- zens are entitled to the best treat- ment the state can give, and a good deal better than they will get in places that are simply intended for detention. This was possibly the best that could be done under the cir- cumstances as precipitated by the governor's veto, but it is to be hoped that two years from now a legislature broad enough in its intelligence, and a governor fully alive to the true in- terests of these unfortunates, will unite in making the best possible pro- vision that can be made for the in- sane patients of the state.- West St. Paul Times, 15th. The amended new asylum bill which passed both houses of the leg- islature has been signed by the gov- ernor, giving asylums to both Anoka and Hastings on the cottage plan. The amendment was executed to sat- isfy the whims of the governor, who vetoed the bill as first enacted, but gave the legislature to understand that if it would amend the bill as he wanted it he would give it his sig- nature, which was done. The gov- ernor concluded to give the two places colts to start with, but which he well knew would soon advance to full grown horses, thus entailing up- on the state an immense cost simply to gratify the desire of two towns that have been warring with each other upon the hospital question. Had the legislature determined to build one large asylum at either Anoka or Hastings it would have been perfectly satisfactory to the large body of tax payers, but to en- tail such a great outlay of money simply to quiet the nerves of warring factions is not good legislation, even though it does receive the signature of a governor who preached from the stump in the election last fall the doctrine of retrenchment and reform in state affairs. -St. Peter Tribune. The insane asylum controversy has finally been settled, and in the worst possible way, thanks to John Lind. Two more asylums are now to be built, one at Anoka and one at Hast- ings, both to be made chronic institu- tions. Lind vetoed a bill for a hos- pital at Anoka, but signed the bill for two asylums. There is neither sense nor economy in this. It would not have been so had had the new in- stitution been made hospitals, so as to care for the patients from Minne- npolis and St. Paul at the time of commitment, but now they must be taken to Rochester, St. Peter, or Fer- gus Falls, and the twin cities get no relief, even with two more state asy- lums within thirty miles of each. Then again the state must be at the expense of transporting chronic in- sane from the older institutions to Hastings and Anoka, making a double burden on the taxpayers. It is to be hoped that the next legislature and the next governor will have enough humanity and business sense to rem- edy the very grave mistake made by John Lind. -St. Cloud Journal -Press. Mrs. Elizabeth Patch, aged one hundred years, ten months, and ten days, died yesterday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. R. P. Russell, 2800 Hennepin Avenue. Last summer Mrs. Patch celebrated her one hun- dredth birthday with all her children and grandchildren about her. Until six years ago she had enjoyed the best of health. Mrs. Patch's maiden name was Elizabeth Hatter. She was born in Johnstown, N. Y. At the age of twenty she married Luther Patch, and removed to Minnesota in 1847. They were the first American couple to reside in old East Minneap- olis, and their log cabin stood just back of where the Pillsbury A flour mill now stands. Mr. Patch died in 1886 at the age of eighty -seven. - Minneapolis Times, 18th. Joseph Plibal, the Silver Lake jeweler, was arrested by the village authorities last Monday evening and placed in jail for passing counterfeit dollars. After his arrest he confess- ed to have manufactured the dollars himself by using a cotu man watch case, making a mass of plaster of Paris and in that taking an impression of a dollar. After removing the coin and allowing the mould to dry common solder was poured in. The next morning he produced the tools. He was taken to Glencoe and placed in the county jail to await the action of the federal authorities. Plibal has a wife and two children, and is in poor circumstances. -Hutchinson Leader, 701. A bill providing for small asylums at both Anoka and Basting. finally passed the legislature, and was signed by the governor. The people are certainly tired of the everlasting squabble over this matter and will be pleased to have it settled, even if the settlement is in the nature of a com- promise not wholly satisfactory. The measure embodies the governor's ideas in the matter, and, aside from local and selfish considerations, we are not prepared to say they are in- imical to the best interests of the poor unfortunate's most direct inter- ests. Anyway, we are glad the mat- ter is settled. -Elk River Star News.

Miss Lucretia Lewis, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid and Mr. Otto H. Doebler, brother of the groom, acted as best man. The wedding march was played by Miss Mabel Thayer. After refreshments had been served the young people who had attended the wedding retired, and a reception was held in the afternoon for the married people, and refresh- ments also served. The friends of the newly married pair remembered them most generously, and numerous and elegant were the presents they re- ceived. In the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Doebler left -on a wedding trip to Toronto and Owen Sound in Cana- da, and will also visit other cities in the east before returning to Cannon Falls, 1vhich will be their home in the future. -Gannon Falls Beacon, 14th. D. E. Eyre, of Wilmot, visited Ortonville for a few days this week, returning Tuesday. While here Mr. Eyre' investigated his safe which went through the big fire of Aug. 19th 1897, and was surprised to have the lock yield to the old combination and open at first attempt. He found the books somewhat scorched, but the records were all complete and per- fectly legible. Among other treas- ures he found unharmed was his mother's wedding ring, a massive gold band which the aged lady, who is now in her ninety-second year, had worn for sixty years. Mr. Eyre will visit her soon in Plattville, Wis., and return the ring to her keeping.- Ortonville llerald Star. The lecture on James Whitcomb Riley, at high school hall last night by L. C. Hodgson, of Minneapolis, was thoroughly enjoyed by the teach- ers who have been in attendance at the county institute and by a consid- erable number of prominent citizens of this city. Mr. Hodgson was a de- lightful imitator of Mr. Riley, and has his memory well stored with choice selections from his pen. Many teachers and citizens warmly con- gratulated Mr. Hodgson after the lecture and gave expression to the pleasure they experienced in hearing him. -Stillwater Gazette, 14th. W. A. Lidgerding had an unpleas- ant experience with bees at his feed mill in Farmington on Wednesday. When he began grinding a lot of corn in the morning honey bees began gathering around the mill, and they became so numerous and hostile by the middle of the afternoon as to drive him from his work. There was a perfect swarm of the little honey - gatherers present, they apparently finding something in the newly ground feed that suited their taste. - Farmington Tribune. Mr. and Mrs. E. P.

One of my neighbors was an interest- ing creature, and evidently well pleased with himself. He wore long finger nails, and seeing me look at him spread out his left hand, evidently for my admira- tion. On the fourth finger he wore a large Chinese ring, and all the nails were long, particularly those of the fourth and fifth fingers, which had grown to a length of at least an inch. They looked like huge claws, especially when he tried to pick up anything from the seat. The owners of such nails re- gard them with extreme satisfaction and cultivate them so carefully that they sometimes attain a prodigious length. They are largely affected by Siamese and Chinese clerks who fancy them- selves exgnisites. They are supposed to indicate the fact that their owners do no manual work. Curiously enough, in so far off a place as Mexico, the same idea exists, but there it is generally confined to the little finger. I do not know what else he had to be proud about unless it was his right leg, which was elaborate- ly tattooed above the knee. He was dressed in only a panting, and to a cord around his waist was attached a wallet for his tobacco, betel nut, etc. He also carried some food wrapped in a piece of green plantain leaf. -Gentleman's Mag- azine.

His early education was received at the Episcopal High School in Howard, Va., and from private tutors. He entered Brown University, Rhode Island, graduating with the class of 1848. After completing his study of law in the office of Henry Winter Davis, at Alexandria, Va., he was ad- mitted to the bar at Washington, D. C., in 1853. Four years later he came to Hastings, where he has since resided. During these years Mr. Clagett has been a devoted member of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, act- ing for many years as senior warden. Mr. Clagett's first wife was Eliza Thorne, who died in January, 1875. He was married in February, 1877, to Mrs. Frances B. Pringle, who survives him with one daughter, Frances E., and also two brothers Richard and Octavius, living in Maryland, and one sister, Mrs. Caroline Wattles, of Alexandria, Va. In the death of Mr. Clagett, our friend and neighbor, another old resi- dent, a member of the bar, and a link to the past in our county and city, has passed away. Before Minnesota became a state Mr. Clagett was practicing law in Hastings, and for a number of years has been the oldest lawyer and practitioner in the city, and during this time has been identi- fled with the best interests of the county, city, and church. Of a naturally studious and quiet nature Mr. Clagett has, in an unpre- tentious manner, aided in carrying out many improvements of which the city is now reaping and will here- after derive beneficence. As 'a scholar of unusual attainments his aitn was always toward excellence. A close reader of good hooks, he was able in a way singularly clear and concise to help others in forming a correct taste for reading and study, and there are many in the city who will long and affectionately recall the impetus given to their love for liter- ature and their groeith in literary work after encourage and instruct- ive talks with him. One who kuew him well throughout these years says, "I never knew him to have an enemy, and I never kliew him to utter an un- kind, nor an unjust, word against another." Right for right's sake was his rule of life, and the charity of a great soul was his. Unswerving integrity has marked his years among us, and to this car- dinal trait was added gentleness, courtesy, and culture. With a life rounded out to the allotted time of man, and after several years of suf- fering weakness, this quiet, cultured gentleman, with a firm belief in a blessed future, has passed from us and from the haunts of men, 'tato the twilight of eternal day. ti. s. c.

A MISER'S ROMANCE. George Pike was known as the stingi- est man in Monroe county. Ho lived alone on a 200 acre farm, did his own cooking, washed his own clothes and mended the same. At mend- ing ho was an expert, for it was com- mon talk that he had worn one snit of clothes ten years. No one in the neigh- borhood knew his exact age, but he looked to bo on the shady side of 40. Neither did any ono have authentic in- formation as to the extent of his wealth. He was afraid of banks and kept his thousands in some secret hiding place about the house. That such a man should be a bachelor was quite in order. No doubt ho looked npon the gnestion of marriage in the same light that he viewed all other propositions—from . the standpoint of probable cost. He seldom called upon a girl. Occasionally when he had ascer- tained in advance that there would be no charge for refreshments he would at- tend a church social, his grdin leather boots bright with stove polish and his coat buttoned tightiy over his gray flannel shirt. Vests in his estimation were in the same class with wives— luxuries to be enjoyed only by the reck- lessly rich. At one of these church affairs he met the daughter of a farmer who had re- cently moved into the neighborhood. She was a lass of rare beauty, and it was no wonder that the miserly bache- lor -exerted himself to outdo the younger men in witty sayings and pleasant speeches to her. As ho drove home in his squeaky spring wagon behind old Esau, the mule he had been driving for 17 years, the vision of the rosy cheeked, brown eyed maid dwelt persistently in his mind, and he caught himself repeating lIer name over and over again: "Mabel Harvey, Mabel Harvey, Mab— Git up there, Esau!" He interrupted his nrttsings on the fair Mabel with a savage swish of the reins and a comman(i to the aged ani- mal, which had taken advantage of its master's abstraction to slacken its gait to a slow walk. "I can't be a-thinkin of gals and sich nonsense," exclaimed the farmer aloud. "Wimmin is only expense and trouble anyhow." It was a brave attempt to banish the memory of the girl; but it failed. Five minutes later Esau .had resumed the slow walk, and the bachelor was gazing dreamily at the stars, going over in his mind the incidents at the church social with the pretty Mabel as the center figure. gars Several times in the night he awoke from a restless sleep to think of the girl. Ho could not drive away the con- stant contemplation of her. Whether in the fields or in the stable, the kitchen or the sitting room, Mabel Harvey was the subject of his thoughts. Two weeks passed. He met her the second time at the church. On the way home that night Esan's pace was abso- lutely snailish. Pike ceased to try to escape from the fascination. But then a terrible battle arose between the imp of avarice and the love sprite. Through- out his life the bachelor had denied himself every pleasure and the gratifi- cation of every whim for economy's sake. Why should he break the rule be- cauee a certain girl seeded a thousand- fold more attractive to him than all others? Then be remembered how she had smiled at his witticisms, and his vanity was touched. He argued himself into the belief that if he should want to marry he she would have him. "I'm rich than any single feller in the county, and she must know it," he mused. "Gals 'r great after fellers with money, an guess she's a good deal like the rest of 'em." But he could not come to a final de- cision to inaugurate the courting. "Wimmin is powerful extravagant." This thought invariably shattered his dreams of wedded life. One day an idea came to him. He would experiment and ascertain if he could afford, according to his notion of expense, to support a wife. "Every time I buy anything for myself I'll jest git twice as much as usual, and P11 party nigh know before long how munch it 'nd cost for the keep of a wife." He smiled complacently at what he considered the sure evidence of an ingenuity that would lead to the solu- tion of the problem which was vexing him. "I'll try it for a month, and if it aint too expenseful I'll go after that g� i Such an idea was exactly in keeping !with Pike's character. He saw nothing ridiculous in it. It was a business mat- ter with him, and he prided himself that he had hit upon a method of satis- fying his avaricious instinct on the ,stubborn question of expense. He im- parted his scheme to no one. This was not unusual. He bad never been known to talk of his affairs. Some discussion was caused in the town store when it was noted that his purchases were precisely double what they had been. This started the gossips, and it was common talk that the bache- lor had loosened his purse strings. "Must be expectin somebody ter visit with him," suggested Jason Britting- ham, a grocery store whittler. "Most likely he's lookin fer the price of coffee and sugar to go up soon," the observation of 'Lihn Strong, town wag. No one guessed the troth. One evening a neighbor dropped unexpectedly on the lone bachelor at home. Pike was in the kitchen. hurried to the door at the sound of knock and opened it just wide enon to discern the identity of the call The latter thought he detected emba rassment in Pike's manner. When caught an unintended glimpse of supper table, he was astpnished beyo measure. There were two cupg ef co and two plates, containing pork and tatoes. One cup and one plate had be partially emptied. The other cup a plate looked as if they had not be touched. "Got company ?" he blurted out, fore he thought what he was sayi Pike had never been known to invit guest to supper or any other meal The bachelor's face flushed a de crimson. For a moment he appeared be unable to reply. Finally he stetter out: "Well, no—er, yes; I'm kinder e pectin some one." His neighbor observed his confusi and hastened to state the business th prompted his visit. Pike did not him in, and he departed without o taining further light on the cause the presence of the extra cup and plat The neighborhood now had a genni mystery. All sorts of vague ramo were circulated. But the bachelor ke his secret. "S'pose Brown '11 tell what he see and folks will talk some, but nobody guess what it's all about," he chnokl It went much against the grain wi him to cook twice as mach at each me as he would have prepared for himse alone. But he consoled his economic spirit by feeding what was left over the hogs. " 'Tain't lost, after all," he though The end of the month arrived. H had awaited the day with impatienc That evening he ate sapper earlier th usual. He helped the extra plate an filled thex n representing e bra c P th amount he would allow a wife—if h had one -for the last time. And as h did it be pictured to himself the brown eyed Mabel gayly chatting with hi across the table. When he had finished the meal, h took the old slate on which he had don his figuring since childhood and in few minutes had ascertained to a cen the cost of the extra portion. "Four dollars and nineteen cents four dollars and nineteen cents," he re eated to himself, over and over again His brows were knit. The chill o avarice was creeping into his heart. "And that don't include clothes.Bu I reckon she'd have enough dads to d her for awhile." It was the first rule of the bachelor' ife to deny himself everything excep absolute necessities. For the first tim e was dangerously near deciding t reek the law which had become almoo econd nature with him. Few men here be indeed who would hesitate t nvest 44.19 a month in the keep of ife who snpplied in all respects thei deal. But Pike had courted the yellow old so long that his love was not to b hanged easily. Three days the battle endured within is breast. It was the most miserabl eriod of his existence. Even after h ad made up his mind to seek the han f the witching Mabel he found himsel ondering at his own recklessness. Bn e was a man of stern resolve. Onc etermined, it required more than hu an power to turn him from his conl'se. On the morning of the fourth day h finished up the work about the plat earlier than was his custom and hitched Esau to the spring wagon. "It's party nigh time I was buyin a tore snit, and I reckon this is a proper cession for sich a purchase," he solilo- tized as he mended a break in the ale's bridle with a piece of twine. An hour later he was examining the assortment of clothing in Smith's gen- eral store at Hill Top. "What sort of a suit ort a feller buy o git married in?" he asked the pro- rietor with an effort at a smile. The storekeeper received the inquiry a joke. The idea of Pike desiring in- rmation of such a character to guide him in the selection of a suit did not enter his brain. "Same sort you'd want if you was expectin to be buried," replied Smith. Pants, coat and vest." Then both laughed at the homely witticism. The bachelor drew it out of the store- eeper without exciting suspicion that re young man who had participated in e most recent marriage in the neigh- rhood had worn a frock suit. "I ain't never had no tail coat yit," e remarked in a careless way. "Believe 11 just git one to surprise the neigh- rs" He found a cutaway snit that pleased m in every respect except price. Four - en dollars was more than he was ac- stomed to pay. But he again con- ered his economical disposition. "I'll be back this way in a couple of TITS and you can have the bundle ady for me," he said to the storekeep- and added. "When I git it, I'll pay n." The drug -store was his next objective int. The apothecary was dumfounded hen the bachelor asked for a dime's orth of peppermint drops. "Got a cold?" inquired the sallow ced druggist. Pike hesitated a moment. "No, but I may git one," he replied, ly avoiding an answer that would d to the discovery of his real purpose purchasing the candy. The package was done up in pink pa- r, with a yellow cord about it. "Won't that tickle her, though?" sed the perehaser as he slipped the ckage into his pocket. As he passed out of the store he saw group of men discussing some matter th great vigor in front of the post- ce. He wandered over to the little thering. Three or four addressed him simnl- eously. "Heered the news?" they asked. "What's np now?" answered the bachelor rather unconcernedly. "S'pose mebody's hogs is got the cholerer, " he ded, with an attempt at sarcasm. "No, siree I" Josiah White, the post - 1 g c h P h O w h d m s 0 q P as fo 15 ti th bo h I' bo hi to en qn ho re er yo Po w w fa illy lea in pe mu pa a wl offi ga tan 60 ad master, Ivagskeaking.- "Worse thah Bog cholerer, " he con- tinued. "At least, Tom Harvey thinks so. His pretty darter has eloped with some young feller from the city, and they've been married at the county seat." Pike's breath left him. For a second he was entirely unnerved. "How do you know she's eloped?" he managed to ask "Why, her daddy's jest passed through town, going like wildfire to head 'em off at the county seat, but there ain't much chance he'll git there in time." The postmaster looked at Pike curiously as he spoke. His com- panions were likewise puzzled to know what caused the color to leave the bachelor's cheeks. Pike broke the awkward pause that followed the postmaster's last remark. "I must be gettin home," be said. "Good day to yon all." He turned and walked abruptly away from the group and entered the drug store. "Mr. Smart, I don't believe I can use these here drops." The apothecary mechanically received the package from Pike. He asked no questions, but emptied the candy into the jar and returned the dime. The bachelor left the establishment without a word. He went direct to Smith's store. "Needn't to mind about that suit," he said to the proprietor. "I've con- cluded I don't want it." • • • • • • • Esau is dead, but George Pike still lives in solitude on his farm near Hill Top. Although the incidents of the story narrated in the foregoing para- graphs occurred 20 years ago, the old bachelor's secret has never escaped his lips. Even at this late day old residents of Hill Top occasionally ask each other: "I wonder what caused George Pike to act so peculiarlike on the day that Harvey girl eloped?"—St. Louis Re- public. English Officers and Wine. This is, strictly speaking, an allow- ance of after dinner wine, or rather the money to buy it, whereby those officers who cannot otherwise afford it may be enabled to drink the queen's health. It appears that the "First Gentleman In Europe" was dining one evening with some regiment and after dinner noticed that some of the officers did not drink the king's health. In reply to his in- quiry he was informed that no disloyal- ty was meant thereby, but that these officers could not afford to drink wine every night. The regent thereupon in- stituted the wine allowance which bears his name to this day. In most regiments the sum thus re- ceived is paid into the general mess fund. In the marines, however, each dining member can either drink one glass of wine every night or else can be credited therefor in his mess bill. A cu- rious anachronism arose during the Crimean war in connection with this custom. In those days the allowance, however much it might be, was divided among the dining members at the mese, and, owing to the absence on active service of the large majority of officers, of the few that remained behind each received such a large share of the allow- ance in cash that he was virtually being paid a fixed sum per night to dine at mess.—Chambers' Journal. Didn't Lose Any Sleep. Jenner, the famous English physician, was essentially a strong and self reliant man. He attended the prince consort through his fatal illness, he was the Prince of Wales' doctor when the heir to the British throne had so narrow an escape in 1872, and he also went to Darmstadt and remained in attendance upon the Princess Alice till she died. To practice medicine in "the fierce light that beats upon a throne" is a not calculated to lessen the physician's anx- ieties, and one who knew Jenner well once gnstioned him on this point and hinted that his responsibilities most sometimes bel s tfficient to render sleep or rest impossible. "Sleep," replied Jenner in his char- acteristic way. "I don't think that an- xiety about a patient ever kept me awake five minutes in my life. I go to a bedside. I do my best. What more can I do? Why should I not sleep?" Paper Bath Robes. The latest nse for paper, according to a German technical paper, is for ' the production of bath robes. The material used for this purpose is somewhat thick and resembles common blotting paper. The bath robes made of this material cling to the body immediately after be- ing put on, and, as the paper takes tip the moisture very eagerly, the drying of the body takes place rapidly. Fur- tleermore, the paper is a bad conductor of heat, and as such it acts as a protection against quick changes of the tempera- ture, preventing the wearer from catch- ing cold. Slippers and hoods are also made of tbe same material—Paper Mill. Tragic. Scene—A railway earriage. First Artist—Children don't seem to me to sell now as they used.

Epicures are developing a taste for miniature specimens of the earth's prod- ucts. To supply the demand in the larger cities for young vegetables. such as the French consider the most delicate and appetizing, the truck farmers bring to market tiny potatoes, turnips. car- rots, cauliflower and even heads of cah- hege the size of a baseball. Such vege- iblee are, it is said, more easily digest- edltheir fiber being tender and succu- lent instead of tough and often of a wcudy nature as the growth arrives at via tnrity. A German historian directs attention to the faot that in the middle ages tbe Mediterranean was, connected by a canal with the Red sea, and that in 1585 the Mohammedan powers bad a project of rebuilding this predecessor of the Suez canal. PICKS AND POINTS. An Improvement of Convenience to Miners and Others. Many a miner while prospecting has no doubt often been compelled to leave his work and seek a blacksmith in or- der to have his tools, grown dull by long usage, resharpened. An invention which has been patented by Walter H. Preet, says The Scientific American, enables the prospector to postpone the sharpening of his tools and to save much of the time which he would oth- Wn tl�l//�(//�/ . . PREST's IMPROVEMENT IN PICKS. erwise lose. The invention in question consists primarily in providing the tool stock with a removable point held in place by a key. The accompanying illustration shows the invention applied to a pick. The top is a perspective view of the tool, and the bottom an enlarged perspective view. showing the point, key and stock separated. The stock and the point are formed on opposite faces with dovetailed grooves and terminate at adjacent ends in tongnes. The inner wall of the stock groove and the end of stock tongue are formed with V shaped recesses which en- gage the correspondingly shaped shoul- ders of the point tongue and of the point groove. When the stock andP Dint are fitted together with the shoulders and recesses in engagement, the lateral displacement of the point is prevented. When th key e e' P position, is laced in the point will 1 be longitudinally locked. When it is desired to remove a dell point and substitute a new one, it is necessary merely to knock out the key. It is therefore evident that by carrying a number of points with him a miner can work for a long time without be- ing compelled to take the pick to a blacksmith. The junction between the point and stock is such as to present no projection, thus enabling the pick to be used in the ordinary manner. Germs In Phones. The telephone receivers, transmitters and tubes in the offices oft e health earth de- partment are being cleaned daily, by order of Dr. Jones, as a means of killing disease germs that often collect on the instruments by reason of persons breath- ing upon them. Dr. Jones advises the frequent scrubbing cf telephone re- ceivers, especially speaking tubes and public telephones, as he has no doubt that they may act as disseminators of disease germs. Dr. Schede, an expert chemist of New York, has scientifically demonstrated that telephones do harbor disease germs. His investigation was confined to tele- phone transmitters, which he washed with an atomizer containing two parts of alcohol, one part of ether and one- half pint of glycerin. The germs and foreign substances were found in the glycerin after the alcohol had been evaporated. He found germs of con- sumption. smallpox, scarlet fever and grip and other bacteria were found with potato starch. decaying meat and de- composing cheese, which served as a nonrishment for the disease germs.- 13altimore American. Diet In Health and Disease. Dr. William Henry Porter states that the most valuable food stuffs are beef, eggs and milk. Animal foods have the advantage of being easily digestible and not prone to undergo putrefaction, but they are deficient in nucleo albu- men. which is essential for the construc- tion of the red blood corpuscles and for supplying energy to theihervons system. It is for this reason that those who are kept for any length of time on an ex- clusively animal died become anaemic and weak. Vegetable foods, on the oth- er hand. contain a large percentage of nncleo albumen, telt also an unduly large proportion of starch and sugar, and are prone to undergo fermentation. Moreover, from 15 to 60 per cent of vegetable food stuffs pass through the alimentary canal unchanged. It is true that fruits are laxative, but these are so because they cause fermentation, and in doing so they favor the production of toxina by microbic activity. The most important of the vegetable foods are rice, macaroni, beans, green peas, spinach and lettuce. Potatoes should be taken quite sparingly. -°Popular Sci- ence. Yukon Goldfields. Mr William Ogilvie. chief of the geographical survey of northwestern Canada and who for six years has been engaged in the Mackenzie and Yukon river districts. declares the Ynkon gold- fields extend over more than 125,000 square mike of territory The fact that Mr Ogilvie is known to be most con- servative in all his estimates and notat all given to speculation and romance gives additional weight to bis assertions.

"Just rna in with me here a min- ute," said one. "I've got to get me a punch." The clerk showed a collection of punches that made holes of various shapes. "No," said the shopper. "I want just a simple, round punch—this size." And she abstracted a cardboard from her pocket that showed the size of the perforation. "Oh, very well I" said the clerk. "We have it. But it's not called for very of- ten for private games." And the punch was brought out and sold promptly. The second woman wondered what her friend wanted of that particular punch, but kept her curiosity to herself. The game was exciting. and. as the friend is a good player, she won eight games. The second woman noticed this particularly. But when the score cards were exhibited the friend had 11 credit marks punched in her score card. The other woman saw then the wherefore of the particular punch they had bought. The friend had won' eight games, and then had done a little punching with a private punch. The prizes at these club contests are quite valuable, and the spirit of gam- bling has become so pronounced among some of the '-players that they are not above resorting to unfair means to cap- ture them.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

He had been invit- ed to an afternoon reception. "And doyou"the know," he said, hostess received the guests in a night- gown !" "Good heavens!" replied the ladies to whom this information was ad- dressed. "Sorely you are joking. Mr. Minister!" "Not at all. I assure yon, " reiterated the diplomat. "It was in her ni5btdress that we were received—low-neck and bare arms!" "Oh, yon mean evening dress, do yon not. Mr. Minister?" suggested one of the ladies. "Yes, that is what I mean," admit- ted Senor Arriaga; "low neck and bare arms, just t hke the costume for the opera or ball." As may be imagined, the langh was at the minister's expense. In Washing- ton ladies quite commonly wear even- ing dress when giving afternoon recep- tions.—Boston Herald. Fendaliam In Hungary. Inconceivable as the anachronism may seem to the western mind, the agrarian system of Hungary has not yet issued from the feudal form. The Hun- garian farmer of today is virtually a serf, bound to his master, the hereditary owner of the soil which the peasant tills, by the tangible tie of personal liability. The Hungarian feudal lord of today is entitled to 50 days' labor from eacb male adult who dwells on his land. The seignior is at liberty to demand this feudal contribution at whatever time may seem beat to him, with the frequent result that the tenant farmer is employed in gathering his master's harvests while his own crops are rot- ting after a rainfall or are being con- sumed by an early frost or stiffer dam- age from one or more of the many pos- sible causes which render destrnctive the slightest delay on the part of the harvester in gathering the fruits of a year's labor.—S.

AN EXCHANGE FOR MUTILATED AND WORNOUT BILLS. Uncle Sam'. Redemption nureau and the Work of Its Experts—Rules of the Department and Schemes For Cheating the Government. There are several experts employed by the government to inspect the cur- rency offered for redemption. In fact, every person employed in the bureau is in some degree an expert, because each one of them has to pass on the genuine- ness of the money presented for re- demption, and this is a difficult task. Remember that this money comes to the treasury. as a rule, only when it is so badly worn that it will not pass cur- rent. This dirty, torn, greasy. ragged money the experts have to handle and decide whether it was issued by the , government and should be redeemed at its face value or whether it is the work of counterfeiters and should be rejected. It is not at all to the discredit of the experts of the bureau that some bogus money has got past them and been de- tected in one of the offices to which the pieces of the money go for further ex- amination. This does not occur often. The peculiar province of one expert is not to detect bad money—though she is an expert at that—but to put to- gether torn pieces of money sent in for identific.eia. . and redemption. These pieces of money come from all parts of the conntry and arrive ander most ex- traordinary conditions. This is not sur- prising in view of the fact that they come from experiences with fire and water and gastric juices and many oth- er powerful agents. A not infrequent accident to money is to be left in a stove. whence it is taken in a badly charred condition, with only ashes to represent the greater part of it. Often it is used by rats to make their nests, or, buried in the dampness of a cellar, it rots away, or, swallowed by a cow, it is rescued from her stomach a slimy mass of paper. Here are the rules of the treasury for the redemption of mutilated money For a piece of currency greater than two-fifths and less than three-fifths of the original note one-half the face valne of the note is given. For a piece as great as three-fifths the whole value of the note is given. For a piece two-fifths in size of the original nothing is given. But this last provision is limited by the law, which gives discretion to the treas- ury department to give full value for a note if the owner can prove to thesatit- faction of the authorities that the note, or the missing part of it, was destroyed. This last provision opens the door to possible fraud, and many are the efforts made by dishonest persons to take ad- vantage of it. The fragments of money which come to the treasury are turned over to one of the experts and sorted out under the miscroscope for identification. They are picked apart, and each tiny piece is as- signed to its place like a part of a puz- zle. This is usually done on glass, and the fragments are eventually put be- tween pieces of glass to hold them to- gether while they are measured to see whether there is two-fifths or three- fifths of the note identifiable or whether ,it is so little that the owner can recover nothing. Sometimes it is a very serious matter to the owner, but the poor are not the only applicants for assistance to recover damaged money. .At the time W. K. Vanderbilt's beautiful home at Newport was burned Mrs. Vanderbilt sent in about $1,000 in mutilated cur- rency, out of which the expert was able to identify for redemption all but a fraction of the sum. It it is not alone mutilated money that comes to the treasury, but dirty and worn money of all kinds, to the ex- tent of nearly $500,000,000 a year. Sometimes counterfeits get past the experts in this bureau and are caught in the other bureaus to which the halves are sent when the packages of old notes have gone under the knife and been di- vided up for counting and identification before they are destroyed. But this is not the most frequent form of attempt- ed fraud. The mutilated money offers the easiest path to this sort of crime. Sonne'of the experiences of the re- demption division with would be thieves are interesting. One man in Kansas sent to the treasary the halves of some small bills with the edges nice- ly charred. accompanied by an affidavit from the sender that he had put the money in his pocket, hung his coat on a fence and that the coat had been burned, to the destruction of pert of the notes. It happened that the treasury had redeemed the other halves of these notes just two and a half mire before SILBERMAN BROS. 122-124-128-128 Michigan Strood, CHICAGO, IL L. EIROTHER5 for a rnoney broker on the Bowery, in New York. and. thinking the case sus- picious. had kept an eye out for the possibility of attempted fraud. The Kansas man was a person of good busi- ness standing. and his bankers threat- ened the treasury officials with dismissal if they questioned his affidavit. They tut the case in the hands of the depart- ment of justice, and eventually the man pleaded guilty and was fined $1,- 000. A bank in Alabama received from a depositor a fragment of a $10 bill, and the treasury people paid $5 for it. Later caine a claim accompanied by the other part of the bill, a little charred, with an affidavit saying the sender had burned the remainder of the note by I mistake. A Chicago man sent in fragments of two $20 bills and one $10 bill with an affidavit telling how the other halves had been destroyed, and in the same mail the other halves of these notes came in from a Chicago bank. A spe- cial agent caught the maker of the affi- davit, who proved to be the tool of some swindlers, and he was sent to prison for a year and a half. —Wash- ington Star. 111111111111111111111111111111f A SHOOTING STAR. What It Really Is and Where It Comes From. Sir Robert Ball, who is the world's greatest living astronomer, told a Lon- don audience recently some interesting facts about meteorites and shooting stars. In describing the origin of meteor- ites he said that millions of years ago, when the earth was an infant at play and volcanoes were giants, the meteors were thrown upward in infant convul- sions. Some of the earth's discarded rocks retnrned at once, but those which were flung upward at a rate greater than seven miles a second passed be- yond the earth's gravitating influence and sought paths of their own, no one could tell whither. And then, after millions of years, they once more came within the reach of the world, and old Mother Earth re- sunied her sway, took back the rocks to her bosom and the astronomers said a meteorite had fallen. Sir Robert asked his hearers to imag- ine a wrapping of some hundreds of miles of air round the earth's surface. Now just in the same way that a gim- let, boring its way into wood, becomes warm, so a bullet going 20 miles a minute would become extremely warni in boring its way through 20 miles of air. And in the same way that a bullet became warm, so a meteorite traveling 10,000 times as fast as a bullet, travel- ing at this speed perhaps for hundreds of years through realms of space whose paralyzing cold was indescribable and finding itself at last plunging through the warm bath of the air. became hot- ter and hotter and hotter. It glowed, it became white hot, it melted, it dissolved in a burst of gas- eous splendor, and observers on the earth cried. "Why, there's a shooting star!" AN ARCHITECTURAL PUZZLE. Monasteries Built In a Wildly Inac- cessible Locality. The famous monasteries of Meteora crown the summits of vast rock pinna- cles rising from the plain of Theesaly. By what strange means the first cnn- fling architects of these airy perches succeeded in reaching the scene of their labors is a matter wreathed in mystery. The cliffs are far too smooth and per- pendicular. for any man to climb by hand and foot, and history guards jeal- ously the secret of the monasteries. All that is known about them is that the monks and wandering friars of the mid- dle ages found sanctuary here when first the crescent and scimiter ran red with Christian blood. Visitors to the monks' abode announce their presence by shouting nntil some one far above looks out and lets the net, which is worked by a windlass, come down. The sensation of the ascent is dis- tinctly novel. Seated on the ground in the center of the net, the meshes are one by one looped on to a large iron hood. As the rope becomes taut the cords press uncomfortably hard upon various points of one's body, and with a strong wind blowing it swings to and fro and bumps its human load against the cliff. The rope, as it slowly winds on the drum up in the monastery, kinks occasionally, and the jerk gives one the impression that the rickety con- cern is giving way. The journey, however, ends safely 170 feet above the ground, where the monks promptly extricate the visitor and give him a pleasant welcome. A philologist estimates that of every 100 words in the French language 18 are superfluous. . . • SPANISH INSOLENCE. Masculine Manners as They Are MA - played In Madrid. Smart life is very little seen iu Cie streets of Madrid. Women never wa about unattended and seldom do 1110T? than descend from and enter their csr,- riages. Meu, as a rule, are gravely lite, the best of them genuinely so and the others with a varnish which does very well when not scratched. Th y stare out of countenance every woman who pasges. This, they explain, meals.; nothing, and is indeed a delicate sort of flattery, but by American ladies .it is often taken for insolence and is always very trying. In the Royal Opera House at Madrid an apparently well bred Spaniard will not hesitate to walk down the aisle during the enteact, and. taking a fa- vorable stand near the woman he wishes to regard, stare at her for two minutes at a time, with or without glasses. No sooner is the curtain down than nearly all the men in the house—as a rule handsome fellows and well dressed— bunch together in the middle aisle and take the measure of their surroundings. It is a solemn moment. Nobody smiles or jokes, and there does not seem to be much talking. Hats are worn, and every man looks about and stares. When an acquaintance is descried in one of the boxes, he gravely lifts his hat and replaces it, but his features re- tain their impassive gravity. The women, when one does see them, seem to be handsomely go..snecl, but they are not as good looking as the men. They go about in fine looking carriages, drawn by spirited horses or by a spanking pair of mules. I have never seen such mnles as are to be seen at times on the shopping streets of Madrid. Yon will often find on these crowded thoroughfares equipages that would look well on Fifth avenne, flocks of sheep and tnrkeys and slow moving oxen, not to mention the omnipresent donkey. The cafe life is an imitation of the French article. ENEMIES OF RATTLERS. Hogs and Black Snakes Kill the Ven- omous Reptiles With Impunity. The two neatest enemies of the rat- tlesnake are the black snake and the hog. The rattlesnake is slow and slug- gish in movement, while the black snake is intensely rapid. The latter will cir- cle around his foe and with a sudden dart grasp the venomous reptile by 'he neck, so that it has no chance to use its poisonous fangs, and quickly squeeze it to death. A hog, especially if fat, suffeiellmo danger from the rattlesnake. He will march boldly up to the coiled reptile, allow himself to be struck in his jowls once, twice or three times, as the case may be, and will then calmly proceed to swallow the reptile without concern. The reason for tbe hog's im- munity is due to the fact that the blood vessels are so minute and infrequent on his cheeks, where fat is predominant, that they fail to take up the poison and carry it through the porcine system. Hogs have been used in droves to clear some of the islands of the southern seas of poisonous -reptiles and have proved successful. By remembering two simple facts any one can distinguish a poisonsous serpent from a harmless one. The venomous reptile invariably possesses a triangular- ly shaped head and a blunt nose, while his tail is correspondingly blunt and stubby. Any snake that tapers smooth- ly from the middle of its body to the tip of its nose and tet the tip of its tail as well, growing slender in a gradual and regular manner, is absolutely devoid of venom.—New Ycrk Press. Badly Confused. Lord Bramwell, says the biographer of that jurist, used to tell a story illus- trating the complete paralysis which may affect the human mind at trying moments. One day when he was on board a Rhine steamboat he noticed a lady, evi- dently in great distress, trying by signs to explain to the officials some matter of importance. Fancying that she was a countrywoman of his own, he asked - "Do you speak English ?" The poor lady had really lost her head, and she conld only stammer out, "Un pen"—that is, a little. Then Lord Bramwell continued the conversation in French, but it became evident that the lady understood scarce- ly a word. German and Italian gave equally bad results. Finally she mut- tered audibly to herself: "How I wish I were safe at home!" "But surely you do speak English 1" exclaimed the baron. "I can't speak anything else," she sobbed. "That's what makes me so helpless among these foreigners." Intemperance In Drugs. There is a source of nervous ailments entirely special to this age and tlie un- expected outcome of our presen1 day chemistry and advertising. Intemper- ance in drugs is becoming more com- lion, and it may possibly outstrip the abuse of alcohol in its evil results. The manufacture of new chemical products is supplying the public with endless car- bon derivates of high molecular power and of imperfectly known physiological action Some are most dangerous, and their continued indulgence leads to con- firmed neurosis or hopeless neurasthe- nia, and it thus comes to pass that as the therapeutic activity of the profession tends to abolish disease that of the pub- lic is manufacturing it. —Medical Jour- nal.

It Came Very Handy, but Made Three Men agmerable. "Talking abontlitimling mnbrellas," said a New °Orleans business man. "I had a whimsical experience last week.

"But somehow or other I didn't, and for several days I dodged him in and out of the building, feeling particularly uncomfortable and guilty. Finally he dropped in and, seeing the umbrella in the front office. walked off with it. I witnessed the incident unobserved from the rear room and naturally said noth- ing. Next day we encountered in the elevator, and he banded me the um- brella. . • " 'Here's your parachute,' he said. `I'll have to own op that I appropriated it yesterday, but it was raining, and the temptation was too strong for my morals.'

A scientific demonstration which caused some amusement is described in a recent number of The Criterion: "A certain physician had a large Toepler- Holtz machine which gave a spark like a young streak of:lightning. His wife was much interested iu it and watched the doctor manipnlate it nntil she fan- cierherself master of the apparatus. One day a party ,s -''friends called wheal the doctor was out, and the good wife eeized tho opportunity of paralyzing them with her knowledge of science. "She was a very dignified woman of portly presence. and, after leading them into the office, she began her explana- tion with all the impressiveness of a lecturer. She spoke briefly of the pre- liminary manipulation of the machine. `And then.• she said, laying her hand upon one connection. 'the electricity goes from here to here;' whereupon an angry white spark leaped ont from the brass ball indicated with a report like a horse pistol and smote her upon the extended finger, causing her toarit upon the floor with a violence that shook the window panes., "The guests stood around in expectant attitudes, looking :it their fallen hostess in pardonable surprise.

The plant at- tains a height of from two to four feet, with woody stems, widespreading branches and bright green foliage. Its fruits are produced in clusters and are of a yellow color. The seed pods are soft and woolly in texture and contain two or three black seeds of the size of a Brazilian bean. Their flavor is a little like opium, and their taste is sweet ; the odor from them produces a sicken- ing sensation and is slightly offensive.

Keeping Up A ppearances. A "licensed pawnbroker" who does a great deal of work in the west end of London lately gave to the writer par- ticulars of a strange sort of pledging that has become common of late and that often defeats men of his kind. Backing up his statement with actual names and dates, he said. "A bailiff and I enter a showy flat, say, and my accustomed eye at once falls on a handsome or at least a pre- tentious piano. I say to myself that this piano will sell for what I require. I go to it. but find that it is locked. 1 ask for the key, and when this is reluc- tantly produced I find that there is in reality nothing but a case. All the in- side of the instrument is gone. The fact is that people in difficulties who still want to keep up appearances can bor- row money, while still apparently re- taining their piano, by allowing the lenders to take away the .main part, or inside, of the instrument. One man in the west end in particular does a con- siderable bnsiness by lending money on pianos in this way. "I suppose that when visitors want to play on an instrument of this kind the host pleads that the key is lost. Anyhow I have in my own business had quite 50 examples of gutted pianos dur- ing the last two years. and I never mark a piano down in an inventory now till I have closely examined it. "— London Answers. A Neighing Cock. Camden says the Thames was once called the Cockney, and therefore a cockney means simply one who lives on the banks of the Thames. Wedge- wood says a cockney, or cockerney, is one pampered by city indulgence, in contradistinction to rustics hardened by ontdoor work. There is, however, a legend, almost too good to be true— namely, that a Londoner who had never before slept out of sound of Bow Bells had occasion to go into the country and was detained all night. He was much disturbed by the low- ing of the cattle, the grunting, of the pigs and other sounds of country life, which he could not understand, and in particular be was frightened by the crowing of the cock. In the morning, in response to the farmer's inquirtes, he said the sound of the wild beasts had kept him awake. Just at that moment the cock crowed again, and the Lon- doner said: "That's the one! He's been neighing like that for hours!" Since then Londoners have been called cock - neighs, or cockneys. DEF T VE P GE Learning the Truth. A school inspector was examining a class in grammar and trying to explain the relations of adjectives and nouns by a telling example. "Now, for instance." said he, "what am I?" That was an easy question, and all the children shouted, "A man!" and then looked around triumphantly. as much as to say, "Ask another." "Yes. But what else?" said the in- spector This was not so easy, but after a pause a boy ventured to suggest, "A little man." "Yes, but there is something more than that." This was a poser for the youngsters, bnt after a moment's puzzled silence an infant phenomenon almost leaped from bis seat in his eagerness and cried to the inspector: "Please, sir. I know—an ugly little man Drummond Was on Top. Professor Henry Drummond had es boyish spirit when a man, and at the age of 20 invented a game for some friends at a country house one rainy evening He said. "They play it in America with bowie knives. Four men are locked in a dark room, each in a corner, and the survivor wins. We'll do without the knives; the door and the shutters shall be shut, each of us will stand in a corner, and the first who gets on another man's back will be the winner. " Dr. Smith was in the game, and he says it was the most exciting one he ever played. "Nobody stirred from his corner for 20 minutes. Then I heard a scuffle between two of the others, felt my way to fling myself on both of them, when Drummond pounced on me, and we all rolled in a heap, he, of course, on top, as he always was."

"—Wash- ington Post The Poverty of Rome. There is a terrible poverty in Rome, of which the beggars who await you at every street corner are but too genuine sign. The first gesture learned by the children of poor people in Rome is to bold out their hands for alms. They be- gin when they are so young that they an only totter, and they are still hold- ing out their hands for alms when they can only totter because they are so old. Yet another sign of it I find in the 3,000 cabmen of Rome, sitting hungrily on their boxes, in their worm eaten fur coats, too lazy to do anything but sit there holding out their whips to solicit every passer and unable to make a de- cent living even in a place so frequent- ed by strangers and a place where every one drives. But even here, in these beg- gars and cabmen, is there not a certain participation, at all events, in - that open air life which is the felicity of , Rome?

They say he is now down on his knees blowing into the dead ashes of her love trying to revive a spark of affection for Him. How women love to picture a man in such an atti- tude!

The hotel clerk tcld the following story: Charles L. Davis, the actor, oth- erwise known as "Alvin Joann," was in the lobby of the St. Charles, in New Orleans, when a man from Chicago stepped in front of him and looked over his head in search of an acquaintance that be supposed was in the hotel lobby. Davis, mistaking the Chicago man's purpose, remarked "Ah! I see yon ad- mire my diamonds. This one" —indicat- ing the stone on his shirt bosom—"cost me $3,000. These"—showing his cuff buttons—"cost me $2,500 each, and my wife has a trunkful up in our room." The Chicago man did not say much, but that evening, by arrangement with the head waiter, Davis was placed at slipper alone at a table where there were several vacant chairs. Presently several men, all commercial travelers, entered the dining room, and each one had a large cut glass fruit dish fastened on his breast, while glass prisms hung pendent from each coat and vest button. Soberly marching to Davis' table, the seven men took the vacant seats, and the Chicago man entertained the actor with: "Ah, I see you admire onr dia- monds. This one"—pointing to the fruit dish—"cost me $3,000,000. These"—indicating the prisms—"cost $250,000 each, and we have *roe car- 41.wal nt tha t7Fitirg *o.. beside tracked. " Davis not only chang- ed his table, but went to another hotel. —Louisville Courier -Journal. He Was Clean. The advantage of a trained nurse is that she knows not only what to do, but what not to do, since unnecessary attentions mersly exhaust the patient. The point is illustrated by the follow- ing story from an old Cape newspaper of the time of the Zulu war, when kindly but uninstructed ladies rushed off in embarrassing numbers to give their services at the military hospitals. "What can I do for yon, my poor fellow ?" asked one of the gentle muses of a sufferer. "Nothing, thank you, miss." "Not anything?" said the charming visitor persuasively. "I don't think so, " murmured the wounded man wearily. "At least," she said mildly but firm- ly, "I can wash your face." She fetch- ed the necessary materials and scoured Mr. Atkins' rueful countenance. "There!" she announced. "Now you will feel nice and clean." "I ought to, miss," said the soldier, with a faint smile. "You're the ninth lady who's washed my face this morn- ing!" Lovable Little Pigs. While the raising of swine is not ex- actly a poetical occupation, it is said to be a paying one and one that would be. practicable for a woman to engage in. "One of the most thoroughgoing, capable business women of the day,' says The Practical Farmer, "is a breed- er of fine swine, and she has won a reputation that is enviable. She has made thousands of dollars from the business and is proud of and enjoys her work. Poultry and swine breeding as a part of the farm wife's business ventures forms both a happy and profit- able combination. Even the word 'hap- py,' she says, is well placed, for it is a happy work caring for and owning handsome sows and pretty, thrifty pigs, fine shotes and marketable hogs. Little pigs, she asserts, are as lovable as baby chicks, and through actual ownership one takes pride and comfort in watch- ing them grow and looking to the com- forts and needs of the entire swine herd.

A recent discussion at a dinner table, whether "gotten" or "got" were the preferable participle, received a practi- cal solution, at least for the telegraphic( service, from an experience related of a college professor who preferred "got- ten." He had telegraphed to his wife "Have gotten tickets for the theater te-. night. Meet me there." The telegraph operator rendered this' into "Have got ten tickets," etc. s Mrs. Professor was delighted with th opportunity of entertaining her friepi and accordingly made up a party eight besides herself, whose greetings - the professor at the rendezvous w probably more cordial than his until matters were explained.

Lind's backbone weakened. The Anoka -Hastings com- bine of democrats and republicans, that has practically controlled the legislature, included him. He could not resist. Af- ter vetoing the bill establishing a hospital at Anoka, he signed one establishing two asylums, one at Anoka and the other at Hastings. It looks like a bluff to force an asylum at the latter town. -Alexandria Post News. • The trouble with The Post News is obscurity of vision caused by too much normal school and reformatory in its immediate vicinity. These are not the only interests in the state by a very large majority. The saving in expense by consoli- dating the Irving Scholl, the Bryant School, and the two rooms in the wood shed annex more than pays the interest on the 830,000 bonds, conse- quently the new building would not cost the tax payers a cent in ten years. The time has come when something must be done to accommo- date the increasing attendance, the present seating capacity being more than exhausted. Gov. Lind's message demanding the imtnediate recall of the Thirteenth Minnesota Regitnent from Manila is receiving very unfavorable criticism all over the country. It was a clear case of slop over. The boys will re- main at their post of duty until they can be honorably relieved without detritnent to the service, and they will return as heroes, not as spoiled babies. The state normal school board did a very sensible thing last week in discontinuing the elementary depart- ments at the Winona, Mankato, and St. Cloud schools. It will reduce the enrollment about fifty per cent, and if one or two of them were closed alto- gether it would not injure the cause of education in the slightest particular. The steel range peddlers are said to be abroad in the land again. No one can blame them for operating in this county, as not a single dealer appears to have a stove of any kind for sale.

There is very little use in cleaning the streets unless our business men will stop the reprehensible practice of sweeping paper and other litter into the gutters every morning. It should be deposited into barrels and either dumped or burned. One of the best things done by the late legislature was to abolish continu- ous sessions at the normal schools. They were covering the salve ground as the summer schools, and a useless expense. Mr. J. D. Reeves, of The Groton (S. D.) Independent, and Miss Mona B.

He came to Minnesota in 1854, locat- inf on a farm near what is now St. Paul Park. He lived there until 1885, then went to Minneapolis. His wife died several years ago.

Dated April 13th, 1899, at Hastings, Minn. A committee consisting of Messrs. Heinen, Adsit, and McHugh was ap- pointed to present the matter to the city council. The following resolution was also adopted: Resolved, That in view of the special election to be held to decide the question of building a school -house that the fol- lowing facts be set forth for the informa- tion of the voters of the city, viz.: 1. Every room in the Irving building is crowded to such an extent as to make it impossible for the teachers to do their work as it should be done; to such an ex- tent that the health of the children is not only endangered, but is injured by crowd- ing them into rooms not large enough to accommodate more than half as many children as are packed therein. 2. The building was not originally in- tended for graded schools, and the rooms are less that. two-thirds,- as large as the standard size now in use. 3. The building was built with no view to ventilation and it is -impossible to provide the same under present condi- tions. 4. It has never been possible to prop- erly heat the building. In consequence thereof there is no question but that every year the health of some of the children is permanently injured. 5. It is not believed that the present building is at all a safe one in which to risk the lives of the children. Further- more it is a fact that there is not a city with even half the population of Hast- ings in the state of Minnesota, or any ad- joining state, whose school accommoda- tions, as far as buildings are concerned, are not far superior to those in this city. 6. If the children in the Bryant and Irving buildings (and woodshed) were united in one central building the number of classes would be reduced by thirteen, and thereby allow a greater time for each class as well as permit teachers to handle larger numbers. and it would also be economy in the matter of janitor work and fuel. This saving together with the increased appropriation of $400 for the high school. by the recent legislature, would easily pay the interest on the bonds, the princi- pal of which does not any of it fall due for ten years. Lastly, it is not the purpose of the board of education to diseaitatinue: thM schools in the outside buildings for the small children. True beauty comes from within instead of from without. A beautiful face is the outward sign. That's why Rocky Moun- tain Tea makes women beautiful. .1. G. Sieben.

" The house called "Never" stands below A grim and ghastly tower, Whose broken windows, shattered roof And ruined turrets lower, While from the casement gaunt despair A warning shrieks forever: 'Take heed! The street called 'By and By' Leads to the house called 'Never!' " What matter though the street be fair, L And flowers tempt my straying, Though strife be hard and rest be sweet And easy tbe delaying, f at the end I surely find That hope and I must sever, hen down the street called ''By and By" I reach the house called "Never?" —Eva Lovett in Independent. ONLY A STORY. The afternoon sun blazed down on the brown roof of the little railway sta- tion, and a train puffed forth great bil- lows of black smoke into the white heat - led air. A group of listless, lounging heat- , armers was outlined against the un- painted wall of the depot, the stolid look of indifference upon their faces seeming to make them akin to the shriveled grass and drooping clover. That they were really hopeless was not without cause. The summer had been hot and wretched and desolate. The corn had dried before it came to a tassel, Ithe wheat had rusted and the meadows browned before the haying time. I Caine Denton took off his jaunty Straw hat and leaned from the window. plis quick eye took note of the expres- sionless faces of the loungers and their attitude of hopelessness. "Poor devils I" he murmured to himself. "Wonder ,what they have to live for anyway I" he keen eye moved on past the un- painted buildings to the hot glare of 'the sandy road. A child stood thrusting her little bare feet into the dust and watching him shyly under the shadow ;of her sunbonnet. Caine whistled softly under his breath—he loved a child—and was rewarded by a shy smile, quickly suppressed by the insertion of two little brown fingers between the red lips. "The only bit of brightness in the land- scape," he thonght, and as the train 'moved laborionsly forward, "and now that is gone," and he leaned back in his seat wearily. He was a handsome fellow, women would say—and really they are the judges the world most honors—the breadth 'of his shoulders and the depth of his chest making one forget that he was a little short in stature. Perfectly formed, with the muscles of a gladiator, he was a delight to the eye. Then his face, clear cut, with a high, noble fore- head crowned with soft, wavy, brown hair, the firm, square chin, the keen bine eyes full of fire and intelligence under straight dark brows, was remark- ably pleasing. One studying it would say, "He is a financier, practical, firm —born to success," but in the month there was a contradiction of this—a nertaia full lips tenderness which in- dicated a struggle with passion, the kind which flings reason to the winds and gloats in possession. Was there anything wanting in his life that was necessary to happiness? No, the world would say. Wealth, sta- tion, hosts of friends, were his. Yes, and love. All children loved him and many women. He had sown good seed and brought many a broken life out of darkness into light. -. .. -- He had never married—the reason, perhaps, because of the nonappearance of his ideal. Several years ago he had met a woman, and several times during the progress of 'their acquaintance he had imagined that he loved her. There was in her flashes of intellect that he admired; there was the deep, under- ground swell of passion that he secretly loved in a woman; there were the little loving ways of speech and manner that reminded him of his dead mother; there was the desire to be helpful that touched him and the Griseldalike patience that hurt him, for he felt his incompetence to act as she would have had him act. Yet there were moments—but she was not beautiful—and be was an artist by nature. The train whirled on through the meadows barer and browner. Caine turned his tired eyes within. The crisp pages of his magazine opened to a story, "Shadows." Wearily his eyes traveled over its first page as they had traveled over the dreariness of earth parched landscape. He turned the second page and is frown of perplexity knit the dark brows.This description! How it brought back days of long ago. Caine laid down the magazine. It brought it all back—that time when al- most he loved a woman. He read on. 'Twee a simple little story of love and faith and the love and thef •. belong- ed to the woman—is it of ten so? The man all but loved woman who was poor and plain, who had naught to attract but a heart full of sympathy For hutpankind, full of longings for bet- ter things, full of an ungovernable -' idolatrous worship for that which she could not attain. The man had left her, knowing she loved him, successful, secure in his own strength to live his life alone—and the woman loved on. Haw her heart was laid bare in the story! What fervor, iwhat passion, what longing were ex- pressed 1 There was a prayer for the loved one in every line—and the heart- break at the end! "Good God 1" he thought. "Can only a woman love after all?" How weak were his own emotions be- side this. What were ideals? Did not this suffering of another for oneself put away all thought of them? What a fool, a blind fool, he had been not to see that the woman was breaking cher heart for him, dying slowly, cruelly for the nourishment that only love, with its duties and cares, can bring. A flood of pity swept over his soul and tears crept into channels long un- used. What matt.red Wall street, the club, fashionable friends? He could Igive them all up. Love such as this was worth any sacrifice. He buttoned the magazine into the pocket of his ulster and reached for a time table. At 4 o'clock they would reach the junction. Then 800 miles i away was that woman—the woman who loved him. His strong, evenly pulsed a life should calm the rever in her-life— the story would have a different ending. How the hours seemed to crawl from this time! He caught himself counting the telegraph poles to keep himself from thinking. He must not torn back—not even in thought --to the world he was leaving. Another one was before him, in which there was only one figure. No more careless freedom, no more silent worship of his ideal woman—the shad- ow wife of that future, so rosy and bright, when his heart should waken from its long slumber and know real happiness. Duty should hereafter ever rule. A night and a day had passed before he arrived at his destination. He sum- moned a carriage at the station and drove rapidly to the beautiful suburb where the woman lived. He conld not rest or sleep until that poor heart was eased of its burden, and then—ah! then —and he shut his teeth hard—would he rest then? With what a commingling of glad- ness, remorse, expectancy and fear he mounted the terrace and stood at the door of the cottage where she lived. The evening sunlight was turning the waters of the lake into a sheen of glory and touched the leaves of the fading foliage into roseate beauty. Toward the south the leaves screen- ing the lovers' walk whispered softly together of secrets sweeter than those ever told, and the katydids called glad tidings to one another. The peace and the beauty of the sunset stole into his heart and softened it still more as it framed kind words for his lips to utter to her who had so suffered for him. Yet the door opened, and he was si- lent. A slender, worn figure stood be- fore him. Mechanically he took the hand of the woman and drew her out to the light, his voice unsteady in greet- ing. "You welcoine me, Jeanette?" For a moment the fire of glad youth and passion shone in her tear faded eyes. "I have • come a long distance to see you, my poor girl. The story—I have it here—it mast have a different end= ing!" "The story!" The light which had transfigured the tender face faded away. The slender form which had for a mo- ment trembled and bent toward him as grasses bend to the warm wind that wooes them, stiffened and drew aside. "You forget," said the haughty voice, "that it is only a story, therefore un- true." And so was love laidaway, and pride was the stone laid at the door of its sepulcher.—Chicago News. Love In Lapland. When a young Laplander is fn love with a girl he and she run a race. He is heavily handicapped, so that she may win if she chooses, and if she outrun him he cannot propose again. Of course, she suffers herself to be overcome if she cares for him, but the consent of her parents must be obtained before she can be married. The law of the land is very strict on this point, and in olden titles the man was subject to capital punish- ment if he married without the consent of the girl's parents. After a Laplander has chosen a bride he sends her a present of a girdle, a ring; and -et elo,utity of brandy. He goes as far as the door of her hut, but remains outside until invited to enter, when a bumper of brandy is offered to the girl's father. If he drinks it it is a sign he consents to the marriage, and the young lover then promises to give the girl some clothes, and pays a sum of money, generally a hundred copper dollars, down on the spot. This, of course, is a remnant of marriage by purchase, which in primitive times suc- ceeded marriage by capture. Banns are published once in Lapland, and the marriage ceremony is very short. The bride wears her hair loose, and has a gold band around her head. Her presents and her dowry aregeneral- ly reindeer, and she and her bridegroom remain with her parents for a year aft- er marriage. A Specialist In Dress. On Pennsylvania avenue, not far from the capitol, is a sign annonn'g the owner as an "Advisor on Men's 1Ap- parel. " He is not a tailor, though he will consent to make clothes for a con- sideration. He is, as indicated, a pur- veyor in expert knowledge of masculine habiliments. Ho claims a scientific knowledge of a certain department of the proprieties. He gives advice for a fee, as does a lawyer; and undertakes to steer his clients in safety among the so- cial rocks and shoals of bad form and bad taste. He will tell congressmen who do not know at what hour they should put on a dress suit whether it is proper to wear a pink shirt to an afternoon tea and how long a congressman mast have been one before he can wear a ruffled shirt. He will advise fat men not to wear checks and will show lean men how to look robust and, in short, under- takes to make a Brnmmel out of a "jay" on two days' notice. It is said he does a good business.—Washington Letter. Hardly. In the sery ants' hall of a Staffordshire baronet's house, a groom, who appar- ently had not noticed that he was the only one W1,F) ate with his knife, one day, while at dinner, chanced to cut the corner of his mouth. He first felt his mouth, then looked at the knife, felt his mouth again, then in an aggrieved tone ejaculated: "Why, the back of this kfe is as sharp as the front. I wonder if they'd eat with knives like this in the dining room. "—London Chronicle. Obeying the Robin's Warning. In some parts of Warwickshire the tapping of a bird around the house is looked upon by the superstitions as a warning. A doctor was recently sum- moned in hot haste to a farmhouse not many miles from Birmingham. He found an old man in bed, but in perfect Health, and asked why be had been sent for. "Why, sir," replied the danghter-in- law, "there coom a little robin about the door ; we knowed it was a '-call,' and we thought it mast be granfer, so we put an in bed and sent for you. "— London Telegraph. Previous to the sixteenth century every physician in Europe wore a ring on his finger as an indication of his profession. FROM TENNESSEE TO TEXAS. A Beautiful Woman Rescued from Death in a Desperate Way. John Alexander Depew was a queer man, known throughout the south from Savannah, on the east, to Santa Fe and the borders of old Mexico on the west. For thirty years he had gone to bed poor, expecting to be rich the next day. He had spent his early days in unsuccessful mining ventures, finally becoming dis- couraged, and engaging in the cattle rais- ing business in Texas early in the sixties. But his turn came. Slowly but surely. in -the face of numerous vicissitudes, he accumulated a fortune of over a million dollars. . He now had money to burn. Notwith- standing he was on the shady side of six- ty, with his hair and beard long and un- kempt, he was considered a great catch by the mothers of marriageable daugh- ters. By the aid of a barber, it few Turkish baths and a tailor, Mr. Depew was chang- ed from the rough cattleman to a very re- spectable, fine looking, elderly gentleman. In this improved condition he returned to his old home in the east, where, thirty years before, he had left a sweetheart to whom he had vowed that he would re- turn some time, and make her his wife. The girl had waited for years in vain for her recreant lover's return, finally giving him up for dead, and marrying a prosper- ous merchant. Her husband died during the war, she following a few years later, leaving a beautiful daughter. On the old ranchrnan's return to the scene of his youth he found his sweet- heart, since a wife and mother, dead, but in her stead; he found an exact image in her daughter. His loye for this child knew no bounds. He could scarcely realize that she was not his old sweet- heart of thirty years ago. By his devo- tion and attention (possibly added by This gold) he soon distanced all rivals, and Imogene Middleton was s u Imogene Depew. Never was there a happied man than this old ranchman with his girl bride, notwithstanding the fact that a dark cloud hung over him in the form of a warning from his physicians that she was going into a decline and could not live long. He refused to believe it, and added to her happiness by laying in her lap the wealth of thousands. She grew tearfully and rapidly worse, and many of the leading physicians of the country were consulted, but no two agreed as to her trouble( -A heart trouble," said one, with a grave look; "a complication of difficul- ties involving the liver and spleen," said a second; while the third pronounced it an -incurable lung affection." In September of 1893, Mr. Depew and his dying wife visited Louisville. Ky.. to consult, as a last resort, a noted special- ist of that city. This specialist was out of the city for about three weeks at that time, and the disappointed couple re- turned to their southern home without seeing him. The middle of the month new symp- toms developed and, after a consultation of physicians. Mr. Depew was informed again that his wife was dying; that she might live a clay or two, but that she could not last long. Then it was that Arr. Depew sent to Dr. Rea,'of Louisville, who was then at the Peabody Hotel, in • Memphis, Tenn.. the following telegram: "My wife is dying. Doctors have given her up. Come quick. Spare no expense. Answer at once." To which Dr. Rea answered: "Will come without delay." In thirty minutes Dr. Rea was 00 a special car, en route to Galveston. Mr. Depew's home, and after a fast and ex- citing ride he arrived at 12:05 the next day. He was met at the depot by the anx- ious husband, who said: "t am glad to see you, but I am afraid it is too late, my wife is dying, she is unconscious." -'•Let us hasten to the house," said the doctor. He found the patient propped up in bed in a halt' conscious state, gasp- ing for breath and cold up to the knees, with two nurses fanning her. In less than one minute, Dr. Rea said: "I discover a great accumulation of pus which is drowning out the lungs and heart. He realized that the woman was nearly gone. In less time than it takes to write it, his instruments were brought into play. Ile made a deep incision; the heavy pus matter poured forth until nearly two pints were discharged. In twenty min- utes the patient was comfortable, con- scious,- and free from labored breathing. After inserting a drainage tube, and giving directions to the nurses, he pro- nounced her out of danger, and bade the family good-bye. Just one hour and fifty-five minutes from the time he stopped at the depot, he pulled out for Louisville over the Southern Pacific Road. 'Mrs. Depew improved rapidly, and in a few months, under Dr. Rea's care, through correspondence, was cured, and is this day a wonderful illustration of the phenomenal skill of the most remarkable physician of this age. Had not Dr. Rea, by his seemingly supernatural power, detected accurately the exact location of her disease, his treatment would have been of no avail. I say Dr. Rea can describe to any man, woman, or child; better than they can _tell him, the nature of their disease, without asking a word. No wonder he cures his patients when all others fail; being able to detect the exact condition of any one, he is not likely to doctor them for the wrong disease. His cures of such cases as the follow- ing speaks louder than words: Mrs. Frank Wright, Ft. Madison, Ia., cured of heart and lung trouble. after the most noted physicians of that place had failed.

New and Apparently Practical Idea In Barrel ;laking. The long, barrel stave, carved and tapering et both ends, is so familiar that it is hard to conceive of a barrel made in any other manner, but there are economical difficulties in the way of manufacturing these staves that bar- rel makers would like to overcome. Considerable time and expense are en- tailed in securing the necessary swell to the board, and there is mach wastage in obtaining the tapering ends. A bar- rel which the inventor, Robert T. Har - groves, thinks will overcome these diffi- culties has been recently patented. The stave is wedge shaped, tapering from 1 1 I 1 !t 11 BARREL WITH WEDGE STATES. end to end rather than from the middle to the ends, and in making the barrel the wide and narrow ends are placed alternately. By this arrangement the barrel is given the essential swell at the center. For handling commodities of finer composition it is proposed to make a barrel consisting of two layers of these staves, one within the other, the staves of the outer layer being reversed with relation to those of the inner section. Firmament Well Populated. In his lecture at the Royal institu- tion Sir Robert Ball, lately astronomer royal in Ireland, stated that we now know the existence of 80, 000, 000 of stars, or sons, many of them much more magnificent than the one which gives light to our system. The majority of them are not visible to the eye or even recognizable by the telescope, but sensitized photographic plates have re- vealed their existence beyond all doubt or question, though most of them are almost inconceivably distant thousands or tens of thousands of times as far off as our sun. A telegraphic message, for example, which would reach the sun in eight minutes would not reach some of these stars in 1,800 years. An average of only ten planets to each sun indicates the existence within the narrow range to which human observation is still confined of at least 300, 000, 000 of sep- arate worlds, many of them doubtless of gigantic size, and it is nearly incon- ceivable that those worlds can be wholly devoid of living and sentient beings upon them, probably mortal in our sense, as all matters must decay, cer- tainly finite. And then what is the rel- ative position of mankind? Great Doses of Laudanum. Eight thousand drops of laudanum, or more than sufficient to kill a large family, was the daily dose to which the famous prose writer Thomas De Quin- cey had accustomed himself. Samnel Taylor Coleridge, poet, philosopher, and some call him also theologian, who lived from 1772 till 1834, gradually be- came so habituated to the use of lauda- num that by 1814 he had long been in the habit of taking two quarts of it a week or above half a pint a day, and on one occasion he drank a quart of it in 24 hours. And yet a grain, or minim, a single measured drop, the sixtieth part of a dram, has been known to prove fatal to an infant. Taylor mentions an instance in which five ounces were taken even without producing sleep, and the patient recovered. The same author refers to two cases in which eight ounces of laudanum were taken, yet the patient recovered under treat- ment, although not resorted to for sev- eral hours. A still more remarkable case is referred to by Wormley, in which a woman took between seven and ten ounces of solid opium and yet re- covered under treatment. DiaMonds of South Africa. So distinctive are the characters in diamonds from different mines that an experienced buyer at once tells the lo- cality of any particular parcel of stones. De Beers and Kimberley mines are dis- tinguished by large yellowish crystala Dqtoitspan yields mainly colored stones, while Bnlfontein—half a mile off—pro- duces small white stones, occasionally speckled and flawed, but rarely colored. Diamonds from the Wesselton mine are nearly all irregular in shape, a perfect crystal is rare and most of the stones are white, few yellow. Diamonds from the Leicester mine have a frosted, etched appearance. They are white, the crystallization irregular (crossgrained), and they aretvery hard. The new dis- covered "Newlands" mines in Griqua - land West are remarkable for the white- ness of their diamonds and for their many perfect octahedral crystals.— Popular Science. A New Light. A phenomenon, the cause of which bas not yet been satisfactorily ex- plained, was described at a recent meet- ing of scientists. Disks of loaf sugar were mounted on a lathe and rapidly rotated while a hammer played lightly against them. An almost continuous radiation of light was thus produced from the sugar. It was shown that the light did'not arise from heating of the sugar, and it is believed to be caused by some change taking place in the sugar crystals. The act of crystalliza- tion is known to be sometimes accom- panied by flashes of light. The practical bearing of these experiments is on the question of the possibility of obtaining artificial light by methods as yet un- tried. No Half Way Invalid.

"That's all right," answered Der- ringer Dan. "I never had a slight cough in my life. When I cough, I cough like blazes. "—Washington Post. WASHINGTON IRVING. He Was an L'ttes Failure as an After Dinner Speaker. Washington Irving was not a ready after dinner speaker. The author of "American Bookmen" says that he shunned public appearances. Yet when Dickens came eto New York, in 1842, Irving could not escape presiding at the great dinner in his honor. They had already become friends through correspondence, for Irving's delight in Little Nell had to be expressed in a letter to the author, and Dickens, in his enthusiastic response, had said: " 'Diedrich Knickerbocker' I have worn to death in my pocket, and yet I should show you his mutilated carcass with a joy beyond expression." The night of the public dinner carne, and Irving's dread of the introductory speech kept him murmuring throughout the repast. "I shall certainly break down." At the proper time he rose to his feet, began bravely. but could only at - ter a few sentences, and ended by tak- ing refuge in the announcement of the toast: "Charles Dickens. the guest of the nation." The applanse was generous. and Ir- ving took his seat. "There!" he said. "I told you 1 should break down, and I have done it!' Later, while on his way to Madrid. he found -himself called upon at the dinner of the Literary fund in London to respond to the toast, "Waslhington Irving and American literature." ! 1 he could say in acknowledgment of au enthusiastic reception was: "I beg to return you my very sincere thanks." One Englishman at the table was heard to make the laconic comment. "Brief!" "Yes," said another beside him. "but yon can tell the gentleman in the very tone of his voice." TALKING DOWN THE TUBE.

Even the best designers never know how their ships will torn out when completed. They may break all records for speed, or they may be so slow as to be entirely useless—a mere waste of money. Years ago two mud barges were built at San Francisco, exactly alike, con- structed from one design. One of them was quite commonplace, but the other raced every barge in the bay and beat them all; raced every yacht on the Pa- cific coast and beat them. She was so fast that yachts were built on her linea, but turned oat mere barges for sloth. Nobody could see how this craft differed from her crawling sisters or from the yachts. In 1851 tho America went to Cowes. England, and raced for a prize cup. She won that trophy. and then an Eng- lishman bought her and improved her hull, stiffening it with knees through- out. After that she lost every race. Why Letters Go Astray.

Address, SILBERMAN BROTHERS 112.124-128-128 Michigan N. o1 IOr)AO, ILL. BNB DR. KOCH ON MALARIA. , A Disease Peesi Which No Rae. Is Immune. Dr. Koch, the bacteriologist of Ber- lin, has succeeded in proving that ma- laria. in its different stages of develop- ment, which are characterized by an intermittently rising and subsiding fe, ver, corresponds exactly with the de- velopment of the parasites; so that by examinations of the blood the progress and stage of the disease can be definite. ly ascertained. He has further succeed- ed in demonstrating, as reported by the NewarkI h Cal teexact t moment for be o effective administration of quinine, which does not kill the microbe, but definitely checks and limits its power of reproduction. Malaria is distributed all over the globe. In its milder forms it is found in this country in the form of swamp fe ver. It appears in a still more severe type in Mediterranean countries, but worst of all in the tropics. Its most vio- lent and malignant fcrm is the black water fever (vomito). The exciting cause or germ of malaria in all its forms is unquestionably a parasite in the hu- man blood, which was first discovered and demonstrated by Italian scientists, and the functions of which are now definitely known. It appears as one of the easily recognized rings in the red corpuscles of the blood, which enlarges, splits into fragments and within a few hours produces more than 20 young parasites, which are distributed among the corpuscles and thus disseminate and extend the infection throughout the blood. Malaria is not contagion& The means of its distribution have been sought for in the air and water. tut Koch believes that bloodsucking insects are largely responsible for its dissemination. Wher- ever mosquitoes exist malaria will pre- vail. Where there are no mosquitoes cases of malarial disease occur only when the infection has been previously received in a malarial locality. The ex- act relation of mosquitoes to malaria still lacks, however, exact and conclu- sive scientific demonstration. Analogies are found where bloodsucking insects convey disease germs—as, for instance, the tsetse fly, and especially the Texas fever among cattle, whereas, it is well known, the disease germ is carried by a tick or insect. No race of man is immune from ma- larial disease. Negroes living on the coasts of tropical countries are prac- tically so, but Degrees of the same race from mountainous, districts, coming to the coast. aro susceptible to the fever. The former have, according to the opin- ion of Dr. Koch, acquired immunity through slight malarial attacks during infancy or youth. But, as there is this naturally produced immunity, it mast be possible to produce an artificial one. On this point Dr. Koch insists that in the case of malarial disease, the ex- citing cause of which is definitely known, the conditions are much less difficult than in the case of other dis- eases, germs of which are not known, as, for instance, hydrophobia and cat$le plague (rinderpest), in respect to which a certain degree of immunity has never- theless been attained. To Prevent Anchor Dragging. Buoys and ships often drag their an- chors or break die chains when a wave suddenly hoists them. This is owing to the shock on the chain, which hangs loose. To prevent this accident Mr. 0. A. Hutchins, snperintendent of light- houses in Novahas invented an Scotia, of a, ingenious device. It is a bell shaped float, or buoy, of afetal, which is at- tached to the mooring or anchor chain, at a point intermediate between the bottom and the surface. It supports the slack chain in the water, forming a bight in it, and when a wave lifts the vessel, or buoy, the strain on the anchor is relieved by straightening the bight against the resistance which the sub- merged bnoy with its bell month offers to displacement in the water. The de- vice virtually makes the anchor chain elastic. The invention has another ad- vantage. If a buoy sinks, as might hap- pen in colliding with a ship, the chain is partly supported in the water by the submerged bell, and the bnoy can be hooked with a grapnel and repaired.. This invention might houseful in cable work.—New York Times. What Does a Lion Weight What does a lion weigh ? Those who know the look of the king of beasts best and how small his lithe body really is, wiH probably come furthest from the truth. About 300 to 350 pounds is a usual estimate. But a full grown lion will tip the scales at no less than 500 ; pounds. Five hundred and forty pounds l is the record for an African lion. His , bone is solid and heavy as ivory.—Ex- I change. ALUMINIUM TROLLEY WIRES. The Light Metal Used as a Substitute For Copper. The production of copper in the Unit- ed States during the past year, says The Street Railway Review, amounted to nearly 550, 000, 000 pounds, valued at $64,000,000. This was in excess of the output for any previous year and made the value greater than that of any other metal product except iron. With such great mines as those in the river penin- sula of Michigan, from which the pure lake copper is taken in its native state, those in .th n nda district of Mon- tana and hose in 'zona, it is hard to believe that therecoo scarcity. �rbe scare t y y Yet this enor ous production is inade- quate to dend occasioned by an increase in all In electric industry o lett c during the past year, so that copper quotations have steadily increased. The European demand has for some time past been extraordinary and with an expanding consumption in the United States this condition has been brought about. The stock, particularly in Eu- rope, has been slowly decreasing, and the price bas risen 30 per cent in the last three months. Recently copper was sold as high as $365 a ton in England and Scotland, and in New York copper is quoted at 17 cents per pound; com- pared with 11 cents a year ago, this is an increase of over 50 per cent. Appar- ently this advance is only partly due to speculation and largely to a very great consumption at home and abroad, much in excess of the production. It is a serious problem to users of copper to know if there is any means of relief from such a rising market. The street railway companies are among the largest purchasers, for copper is em- ployed in nearly every part of their equipments. The rise of 50 per cent has enormously increased the cost of trolley wire. feeders, bonds, and affects motors, generators and fittings in the power station and on the cars. There is but one metal which can be economically substituted for copper for conducting electric currents,and that is aluminium. With the present price of copper, alu- minium seems to have a decided advan- tage as far as cost is concerned, except perhaps where the wire has to be cover- ed with insulation. Copper is 8 1-8 times as heavy as aluminium, volume for volume, and its electrical conductivity is 61.5 per cent that of copper; so that if copper costs 17 cents per pound it will be cheaper to use aluminium if the cost of that metal does not exceed 34* cents per pound. At the present time aluminium wire suitable for electrical conductors is sold in large quantities at 29 cents per pound. Might Destroy All Life. In a signed article in the current number of The Electrical Review Nicola Tesla describes some of his experiments in the line of electrical currents of high voltage. and gives details of the coil which he need "The discharges of such a coil," be adds, "when of an electro motive force of a few million of volts, excite powerful affinities in the atmos- pheric nitrogen, causing it to combine readily with the oxygen and other ele- ments, particularly in the presence of aqueous vapor. So energetic are these actions and so strangely do such power- ful discharges behave that I have often experienced a fear that the atmosphere might be ignited, a terrible possibility, which Sir William Crookes, with his piercing intellect, has already consider- ed. Who knows but such a calamity is possible, and who can tell with certi- tude that periodical cessations of Organ- ic life on the globe might not be caned by ignition of the air and destruction of its life-sustaining qualities, accidental- ly or as a consequence of some accumu- lative change? A lump of coal will lie for centuries unafl!bcted in contaett with oxygen. but, the combuatioli'once start- ed, the process continues as long as there are elements to combine." The Capital of Holland. A gentleman—to the best of our recol- lection a retired linen draper—went into school one day with the intention of putting the fifth standard through their facings in the geography of Eu- rope. He began, "What is the capital of '011and 1" "Capital H," was the crushing rejoinder from the smart boy of the class. The ex -linen draper did not pursue his geographical inquiries further.—Cornhill A haughty Reply. A story about William Pitt I read of heard somewhere many years ago, it is to be feared, is not authentic, as I can- not find it in Lord Stanhope's or Lord Rosebery's book. It represented a no- ble mediocrity as assuring the great statesman with some condescension that he might fairly expect an earldom for his magnificent services. "I an earl!" was the haughty reply.

It Lasts For Thirty Min- utes at Honolulu and For Eighteen Days at the Poles. The belief that there is little or no twilight within the great tropical belt encircling our planet is a very wide - I spread one. History, however, warns Ins that beliefs need not necessarily ac- cord with facts. It might indeed almost be said that they usually do not. The toiling and moiling millions, the humble units that.. taken in the bulk, constitute what is called a "great pow- er," have neither the time nor the in- clination to overhaul their opinions. They are not assailed by doubts as to whether the intellectual coffee which they have at odd moments imbibed may not have been mostly chicory. Such a state of mind unquestionably makes more happiness, and although such happiness may bear rather too much resemblance to that of, say. the cow it is none t'#e less real for all that. Twilight is at its shortest at the equator and increases with the latitude —at the equinoxes—at about the same rate as that at which the meridians de- crease their distance from one another. - The increase is, therefore, very slow in low latitudes and very rapid near the poles. Practical or civil twilight is the time. which elapses between the moment of the sun's setting and the moment when. be is seven degrees of a great circle be- low the horizon. At the equator this time cannot, of course, be less than 28 minutes. At the edges of the tropic ,zone it is about 81 minutes. A person with good eyesight will. should he care to make the experiment, find that when at sea and on or near the equator he is able to read average type on deck for at least 28 minutes after the sun has set without the aid of artificial light and when there is no moonlight. This is the common sense experiment of which the duration is considerably longer than the practical, and even at the equator something like 70 minutes will elapse before night bolds undis- puted sway. This is the length of the tree, the astronomical twiligbt. It is at or near the equinoxes that the phenomenon under consideration is at its shortest all over the globe. -At those periods it lasts at Honolulu 80 minutes; at San Francisco, 85; at London, 45: at St. Petersburg, 57; at the Arctic and Antarctic circles, 72, and at the poles. 18 days. When, then, we say that the poles have six months' light and sit' months' darkness, it is little more than a facon de parler. The north pole has no less than 222 days of practical daylight each year, the south pole 215 days, and the equator 197 days. Nansen, when in high north- ern latitudes, was able to read The Yerdensgang many days before the longed for sunrise following the long winter night. The great length of the twilight in polar regions is 8 boon in- deed to explorers. The popular imagina- tion usually attaches itself to the great cold they have to endure, but the real enemy is the long darkness, which is trying to the enthusiasm of even a Nansen, Peary or a Jackson. There is practically no difference in the length of the twilight at the equa- tor at the equinoxes and solstices. Even at Honolulu it will not vary by more than a couple minutes. But in the higher latitnde the varying duration is very marked. In latitude 59% de- grees, for instance, it lasts 56 minutes at the equinoxes; but in the summer solstice it lasts from sunset till sunrise— that is to say, from 9:10 o'clock till 2:50, or five hours and 40 minutes. North or south of 83 degrees practical twilight lasts all "night" at the equi- noxe. The sun is, it is true, only 12 hours above the horizon, but as he can- not go more than 7 degrees below it there is continual daylight for the 24 hours. In such cities as Stockholm and St. Petersburg there are close on to 14 hours of daylight at those seasons when day and night are said to be equal, and at the equator itself the day all the year round is made of 18 hours' daylight and 11 hours' darkness. It must not be forgotten that in those latitudes where the sun remains for months below the horizon there is during that period a good deal of dao'. 'it. so that along the eightieth pare.' fh (a little north of which til: Harmsworth ex- pedition spent consecutive years in the Franz islands), although the sun does not rise between Oct. 19 and Feb. 22, there is a period of three weeks following the final sunset and another of the same length preceding the first sunrise of the year, on each day of which good type can be read for a few minutes up to some hours with- out artificial light.—San Francisco Call. Miles of Advertising. No street in the world is more plas- tered with advertising than Broadway, New York. Even to those recognizing that fact the amount does not appear startling until it is put into figures. The combined length of the two sides of Broadway from the Battery to Central park is 52,800 feet. The amount of ad- vertising on the buildings and in shop windows is such that it would take a man between eight and ten days of eight hours each to read his way upone side and down the other.

Electricians have discovered that they can make a forge o. a hull. of cold wa- ter and heat in it to a white beat all the tools used about a forge. It is very simple to them, and, as described by the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, is not so difficult to understand by any one. A vessel made of wood or some other nonconductor of electricity is used. At the bottom of the vesel is laid a piece of plate metal, and te this is attached a wire entering through the bottom and conducting the current to the metal plate. On the edie of the tank is a metal strip, to which another wire is A COLD WATER FORGE. attached, or this wire may be attached to the tongs, soldering iron or whatever one is using at forge. The tank is then filled with heavily salted water, and when the current is turned on every- thing is ready for heating the iron. It is thrust in, and in an instant the cur- rent passes from the metal plate through the iron and to the wire at the top. Some of the water is decomposed by the electrolytic action. The nitrogen of the water becomes electrified and adheres to the object to be heated, forming over it a film of gas. This film separates the water from the object and at the same time the gas forms such an obstruction to the passages of the electric current that the current is turned into heat. In a moment the iron begins reddening with heat, and in a little while it is white and may be seen like a white object down in the water, a most interesting thing to see. When the workman bas done with his iron, he turns the electric current oft and plunges his iron into the tan jin, This time it;egols with a sputter and "kiss." New Southern Enterprises. Among the many new industries and business enterprises started in the southern states during a single week are brick works in Kentucky and North Carolina, canning factories in Missis- sippi and North Carolina, coal mines in Kentucky and West Virginia, coop- erage works in Georgia, cotton com- presses in Georgia (round bale), Lon- isiana, North Carolina and Texas; two cotton compress manufacturing com- panies in Texas, a $100,000 cotton mill in Georgia and one of 5,000 spindles in Louisiana, cottonseed oil mills in Geor- gia and Texas, an electric light plant in Georgia, an electric supply factory in Virginia, flouring mills in Alabama and North Carolina, a 1,000,000 bushel grain elevator in Texas, a hardware factory in North Carolina, a harness factory in Georgia. ice factories in Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi; a $100,000 improvement company in North Carolina, a $60,000 irrigation company in Louisiana, a $15,000 knit- ting mill in east Tennessee, lumber mills in Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee; a $250,000 marble company in Tennessee; two nov- elty ovelty works in Virginia, a robber tire factory, a silk mill and a spoke and handle factory in North Carolina ; a stave mill in Kentucky, and a tobacco factory and a general woodworking fac- tory in West Virginia.—Chattanooga Tradesman. Cheap Telephones For All. At a meeting of independent tele- phone men in Ohio recently 121 ex- changes and 2,500 miles of local toll lines were represented. The president of a well known system of apparatus used for telephony was present and said that he hoped to see rates brought down so low in the near future that the workingman who earns only $75 a month will feel that be can afford to have a phone in his house. For $18 a year, or 5 cents a day, his company would furnish a city like Cleveland with this sort of service—one call a day from the residence and any number of calls from other sources fcr his resi- dence. Not to exceed ten subscribers must be put on every circuit to make this system pay the company.—New York Tribune. Electricity Will Light Pyramids. British government representatives have been making special inspections of the pyramids with a view to lighting those structures by electricity. The plans call for an electrio power trans- mission plant with a capacity of 25,000 horsepower. It is proposed to erect this generating station at the Assuan falls, on the River Nile, and to transmit the power from there, 100 miles, through the cotton growing district!. It is be- lieved that the cheap power thus pro- vided can be used incidentally by cot- ton factories, the establishing of which would be justified by the new con- ditions.—New York Prees.

A MIGHTY HARD PROBLEM. The One of Inventing a Bottle That Can't Be Refilled. "I read a little interview not long ago," said s New Orleans grocer, "with a man who purported to give some particulars concerning the much talked of nonrefillable bottle problem. He said, among other things, that there was a standing reward of $10,000 for a practical solution, and I had to smile to ncte how a fable, once set adrift, is continually vitalized by repetition. I happen to know something about the bottle question, and I can state posi- tively and authoritatively that there has never been a reward of $10,000 or any other amount for such a device. "The impression probably originated with a circular that was prepared years ago by a convention of northern distill - ire. It was designed for the informa- tion of inventors and stated briefly and clearly just what was essential to a practical nonrefillable` bottle—what the working part should be made of, what" tests it should be able to sustain, what it should cost in quantity, and so on. I doubt whether there is now a copy of that circular in existence, but it un- questionably gave rise to the story that the whisky men of the country were hot after a bottle that couldn't be re- filled and had offered an enormous re- ward for the same. `The Lord only knows how many lives have been wrecked by that yarn. Next to perpetual motion it has been the great asylum feeder of the mechan- ical world. The problem looks easy enough on the surface and upward of 50 patents have been taken out on dif- ferent devices, but none of them works under all conditions. The favorite scheme is a ball valve which would be closed automatically by pressure from above, but it is readily worked by a wire or an air pump. "At first the liquor men and makers of proprietary remedies that were largely counterfeited encouraged invest- ors in the line, but after repeated fail- ures they finally came to the conclusion that the thing couldn't be done and have given it up altogether. Neverthe- less the cranks still persevere, and every now and then one reads of a new bot- tle that works like a charm. But you never see them on the shelves, and I make bold to say you never will "— New Orleans Times -Democrat. THE EVILS OF FLIRTATION. Those Who Engage In It Grow Inca- pable of Steadfast, Enduring Love. "In flirtation there is the same dis- sipated element of excitement so be- guiling in gambling—uncertainty—in fact, we might add to the dictionary definition a still later one, 'To flirt, gambling in hearts,' " writes Frances Evans, "About Men," in The Ladies' Home Journal. "The flirt, like the gambler, feeds upon the intoxication of his passions. In a few years he becomes incapable of steadfast, enduring love, that feeling which in civilized man is separated from the love of the barbarian by the element of ideality, of spiritual sympa- thy as distinct from merely the attrac- tion of brute nature. The open minded, open souled, manly man is apt to ex- press himself in abrupt praise of what he likes, but the flirt knows better than to take the edge off of a compliment by giving it publicity. The flirt is invaria- bly confidential in his manner. A flirt becomes nnscrupnkns in his relations with women, no matter how high a code of honor he may abide by in other matters. His conscience is calloused on one side beyond remedy. There is no germ which develops more rapidly than the flirtatious bacteria. Given a ycung man or woman whose pride is wounded more deeply than his or her love by a member of the opposite sex, then, if there be a slight flirtatious tendency to begin with, it will be but overnight before the weed has grown to surprising proportions, choking out conscience and kindness while it sup- ports and strengthens vanity, which stands close by wounded affections in the human heart." Would Have Done the Same. Rndyard Kipling undoubtedly got his wit from his maternal grandfather, the Rev. George B. Macdonald, a Wesleyan clergyman. It is related of this bright Macdonald that in the days when he was courting the lady whom he after- ward married the father-in-law to be— an aged Methodist with extremely strict notions in regard to the proprieties— was injudicious enough on one occasion to enter the parlor without giving any warning of his approach. The conse- quence was that he found the sweet- hearts occupying a single chair. Deeply shocked by this spectacle the old man solemnly said: "Mr. Macdon- ald, when I was courting Mrs. Brown she sat on one side of the room and I on the other." Macdonald's reply was: "That's what I should have done if I had been court- ing Mrs. Brown, "—Troy Press A Heroic Remedy. Malta's way of treating rheumatism Is a trifle heroic, but a generation brought up on mustard plasters and electricity ought not to object to it. The patient is stripped and bees are cordially invited to settle upon his body. It amuses the bees and cures the rheumatism, so it seems to be a philan- thropic system all around. The poison in the bee stings is said to neutralise, the acid in the blood which is responsi- ble for the rheumatism.

The Outlook gives an interesting story of the Spanish administration, when, during our civil war, the Emperor Napoleon formed the ingenious plan of uniting European nations in a change of the international law governing blockades. The admiralty law of the world at present extends the jurisdic- tion of any nation for one marine league from its shores. If, therefore, any block- ade runner could get within three miles of Jamaica, Cuba or Pcrto Rico, he I was safe from any interference from our blockading fleet. Napoleon proposed that, instead of one league, the limit of local sovereignty should be extended to three leagues from shore, and he persuaded the Span- ish minister to come into his plan. Such an extension of nentrallimits would have greatly hindered the opera- tions of our blockading fleets. All the negotiations were conducted with great secrecy, but orders were sent from Spain to the West Indies, instructing authorities there to extend threefold the range of their dominion over the sea. These orders had already gone when Horatio Perry, the American secretary of legation, got wind of the treachery of our ally. Mr. Perry told his wife. She told the Duchess of Montpensier, who hated Lonis Napoleon, and the duchess told her sister, the Spanish queen. Then the queen sent for Mr. Perry and asked what it was all about. "Yon are injuring your best friends," said he after explaining the I matter, "at the solicitation of this in- triguer whom yon have reason to be- I lieve is your enemy " The queen regent sent for her prime I minister and interrogated him. He re- plied that her majesty had signed the order on such a day. "But no one told me what it meant," said Queen Isabella. "No one told me that this is a heavy blow to my Ameri- can, allies. " No one had told her 1 The minister was sorry if her majesty disliked it, but it was too late to help it. Why was it too late? Because a steamer had gone to the West Indian fleet with the orders which changed one leagne to three. Then said Isabella, "It is not too late for me to accept your resignations." But the senor don did not want to re- sign, and the other senores dons did not want to resign. So they found a fast steamer to take out orders rescinding the other orders, and the blockade was maintained for the next year. RUNNING A THEATER. The Big Salary Account That New York Houses Must Meet. The salaries of actors and actresses vary so much that no fixed prices can be quoted. It may -suffice to say that the salary list of a stock house for per- formers will not come to less than $1,- 000 a week, and is often considerably more. The salaries in the "front" are about as follows: Business manager, $60 to $75 a week; box office man, $80; as- sistant, $15; two doo kep eers, $8 to $12 each; head usher, 18; other ushers (three or four), $7; lithograph men (two), $15; night watchman, $10. The salaries of the attaches of the stage are all fixed at union rates. Fur- thermore, the manager nine employ three men on a side—that is, three stage hands on each side of the stage, including the stage carpenter and his assistant—and two Hymen, men who work the curtain and drape up in the "flies," the regions above the stage. The union rates are as follows: Stage carpenter, $80 a week; assistant, $25; electrician, $25; assistant, $15; prop- erty man, $25; assistant, $15; back doorkeeper, $7; stage hands, $1.50 for each performance, $2.50 per day for putting on a play, 50 cents an hour for rehearsals and 62% cents an hour for all labor half an hour after the fall of the final curtain. Orchestra leaders get $40 to $50 a week, and the anion rate for musicians is $25, except in oper- ettas, when it is $4 a performance. -- "The Business of a Theater," by W. J. Henderson in Scribner's.

Scott, the man who bnilt the Oregon, once refused a raise in his salary. The firm was then building the Saginaw for the government. Donahue was at the legislature much of the time soon after Scott's arrival, and affairs at the works were at sixes and sevens. Brodie, the foreman, threatened to leave and did leave, and Scott, without an-' thority and although only engaged as a draftsman, took entire charge and di- rected things for two weeks until Dona - hue's return. He introduced system in- to the methods and made affairs run along so smoothly that Donahue was pleased and made him permanent fore - About this time Donahue offered to increase his wages, but Scott thought over the matter and declined. "If I break niy year's contract with you," he said to Donahue, "I'11 have to take what you give me. I prefer to keep my contract, and when it's up you'll have to pay me what I'm worth." Donahue looked aghast. "You're the first man." he said, "that I've ever known to refuse a raise of pay." Results justified Scott's foresight" At the end of the year he was re-engaged and was paid just four times what Don- ahue had offered him. Dressed For the Jury. Pretty women on trial have a habit of dressing so as to impress the jury, but the highest type of this art was naturally left for development in Paris, where toilets are "composed" for the occasion. An example of the art was in evidence at the trial of Mme. Bian- chini, who was accused of having dis- Obsed of her husband in an unlawful way. "Her costume, " says a chronicler, "was the essence of outraged dignity +and resignation, and at the same time of elegance, due to her position as a mondaine Parisienne. She naturally was all in black, with a mantle close fitting at the waist and a high collet de mongolie. The severity of the low hat, with its ostrich plumes, was relieved by her jaunty way of symbolizing her confidence in the triumph of innocence in that the left brim was turned up, sheltering a little bunch of peacock tips."

The question of building a new schoolhouse in place of the present makeshifts is being quite- generally discussed by our citizens, with a large majority in favor of issuing the $30,000 bonds necessary for that purpose. It is proposed to consolidate the Bryant School with its one hun- dred and forty pupils; the two wood- shed rooms with their ninety pupils, and the Irving School iuto one central building, a saving of thirteen classes and at least one teacher. This reduction with the economy in heating and janitors is expected to pay the inter- est on the bonds, and the tax payers not be called upon for a cent until after ten years. Our town is at least twenty-five years behind the tunes in schoolhouses, with a yearly increase in attendance far exceeding their seating capacity. Should the vote on the 18th inst. be against the bonds the board of edu- cation would have to provide an additional`room somewhere, with an- other teacher, janitor, and fuel, which expense must be met in the tax levy. As a fair business proposition the matter is one that commends itself to every public spirited citizen. Minnesota Journalism. The Gaylord Hub has been sold to Johnson & Wallin, of that place, J. W.

Lind on the back for his veto of the Anoka -Hastings bill. The burden of the song wes that the vetoed bill was the result of a nefarious combine between Anoka and Hastings to secure state institu- tions. In the first place that wee not the reason of the veto, and in the second place Lind has signed the amended bill which gives the Anoka - Hastings combine what it wanted all the time. The governor secured what he wished, the adoption of the policy of separating the chronic from the acute insane. The nefarious combine secured what it wanted, two state in- stitutions, and the fulsome flatterers of Gov. Lind have secured a chance to explain where Lind's brave and courageous thrust at the nefarious and unholy alliance comes .in.—Free- born Times. There has been a lot of talk in the newspapers about the nefarious com- bination between Hastings and Anoka on the hospital bill. All the combi- nation there was consisted simply in an agreement between the friends of Hastings and those of Anoka that they would jointly support a hill pro- viding for two hospitals, one at each place. Gov. Lind inade a great show of opposing this nefarious scheme, and wound up by signing the bill for two asylums, one at Hastings and one at Anoka. There was never any sub- stantial reason for his position, and he refrained from signing the first bill only because he was committed to the asylum instead of the hospital plan. But a hospital under the name of an asylum will cost no less than it would if you called it a hospital-_. Princeton Union. At last the matrimony of Anoka - Hastings has been accomplished. Some time since a bill passed the legislature authorizing a hospital for the insane on the old plan, with the exception of limiting the number to five hundred at Anoka and the pur- chase of a site for one at Hastings. Gov. Lind vetoed this, buLintimated he would approve a bill modeled atter the cottage plan. Such a one was drawn and passed, and now Old Pease and Bro.

To the Editor of The Gazette: We all freely admit that a new schoolhouse is not a luxury which we may get along without, but it is an absolute necessity. The patrons of our school are gen- erally aware that the youth of our city have not been offered even ordi- ny comforts during their school 1 ffee. The seating capacity in all fori gr. des is and has e some dine been wholly inadequate. The- problem of proper lighting, heating, and ventila- tion has for a long time been insolv- able. It is not to be wondered at that many a parent refuses to send his child to a building where he knows the thermometer registers fifty-eight and sixty degrees in midwinter, and we can never hope to remedy this condition in a building where cracks and openings in walls form the rule and not the exception. For the citizens of Hastings to al- low the present state of affairs to continue is to brand ourselves before the people of the state as a people in- different to all educational interests. ire St. Luke's Church.

Lind, by his veto of the Hast- ings -Anoka insane hospital bill, add- ed two years to the disgraceful delay of the- state in making proper pro- vision for its insane. The bill which he signed Saturday merely provided for asylums at Anoka and Hastings, each to cost no more than $62,500. This will mean the building of small cottages for the reception of chronic insane, to be transferred from the hospitals now in existence, and no provision will be made at either of the asylums for treatment for mental disability. The adoption of this plan means that for two years at least Min- nesota is committed to a system which has been discarded by all progressive states whose legislation is influenced by humane sentiinents. The estab- lishment of asylums means the brand- ing of all inmates as hopelessly insane, deprives them of the medical attention they deserve, and withal is about as barbarous a method of looking after the insane as could be devised, bar- ring the county poor farm plan cham- pioned by Lind and Grondahl. The placing over the doors of the institu- tions the legend, "All ye who enter here abandon hope," cannot fail to have a most pernicious influence up- on the•inmatele toeay nothing of the failure to provide necessary medical attention before mentioned. Immedi- ately upon the establishment of these asylums, the friends and relatives of the present inmates will begin, natur- ally, to use their influence to prevent their transfer to the asylums, and the demoralizing effect of politics and pulls will at once become manifest in the Fergus Falls, the Rochester, and the St. Peter institutions. Besides the faults already pointed out, there will be another which certainly ought to have appealed to the mercenary instincts of the governor, who practic- ally ordered the legislature to sacrifice the comfort of the insane for the sake of an apparently favorable opportuni- ty for certain counties to make money out of their care. The cost of trans- porting insane patieuts first to one of the existing hospitals, and later, if the doctors decide their malady is chronic, back to the asylums, would more than pay the expenses of medi- cal staffs at the Anoka and Hastings institutions. But all tkis, and mote, will be proven in two years, and the next legislature will rebuke Gov. Lind and his sycophantic supporters by making the two asylums hospitals, and thus remove the '•foulblot on the fair name and fame of Minnesoi,a," so feelingly referred to by the Red Wing young manin his frantic appeals for county poor farm asylum bills.— Anoka Ileralcl. Their Golden Wedding. Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Countryman celebrated their fiftieth marriage an- niversary last evening with a dinner at the residence of their daughter, Mrs. 1.. A, Cobb, 3228- Blaisdell Ave- nue, Miuneapolls. The dinner was in the nature of a family reunion, the children and their families from out of the city all being present to help in the celebration. There were pres- ent forty-five guests, two of whom, the Rev. Levi Gleason and H. D. Countryman, witnessed the ceremony performed fifty years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Countryman came to Minnesota in 1855 from New York. They lo- cated in the vicinity of Hastings, where they have spent their summers for some time past, making their home with their daughter, Mrs. Cobb, in the winter. blr. Countryrean is a veteran of the civil war, lustful; serv- ed in Company D, Second Minnesota Regiment. Those present from out of town included Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Countryman and family, Appleton; Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Countryman, St. Paul; Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Country- man, Mrs. N. C. Johnson, Aberdeen; Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Cecil, Mrs. D. B. Truax, Hastings; Mrs. E. H. Mask- rey, New Richmond, Wis.; F. A. Countryman, Watertown, N. D.; the Rev. Levi Gleason, Dundas.—St. Paul Pioneer Press, 27th. Fred Newberg, a resident of the island at Lincoln Park, discovered the body of a man lying in the old barn on the Goodrich farm. Upon an examination a cheap bull dog revolver of a thirty-two calibre lying under his knee and two bullet holes through his head told the story. The man was rather short of stature and probably between fifty and sixty years of age. There were no : letters or papers or anything else by means of which the body could be -identified. In his pockets were ?3.97, a jack knife, and someold style,sulphur matches. The body was quite badly decomposed, probably having lain there for at least two days. He was seen and talked with in South St. Paul last Thursday, He was taken to J. J. Burley's undertaking establishment, and at a late hour to -daybed not been identified.—South St. Paul Reporter, 26th. Gov. Lind signed a bill for the erec- tion of cottage asylums at Anoka and Hastings after once having vetoed a bill for the erection of cottage hos- pitals at Anoka and Hastings. The governor's administration seems to be intended as a final answer to the Shakesperian question, "What's in a name'?" The governor did not like the word hospital, and did like the word asylum, and his tastes in the matter were so well defined that he vetoed a bill on that account. Having gotten all the political capital out of it that he could, he signed the last bill, which was only a little less good than the first.—Princeton Union. The Rev. W. G. Trower, pastor of the Baptist Church of this city, left to -day accompanied by his family for a visit at his former home in San Fran- cisco. He will be absent about a month. -Little Falls Transcript, lst. New Spring Shapes Soft and Stiff Hats GOODS EXCHANGED Hastings. or MONEY REFUNDED. STARTLING EARGAINS.

The fast west bound mail train over the Burlington Road broke another record Sunday night on the run from Chicago to Burlington, making the two hundred and six miles in one hundred and ninety-nine minutes. The best previous record was two hun Bred and five minutes, made last Friday night by the same engineer, J. E. Kelley. The record-breaking run resulted from a loss of time in loading the mail cars in Chicago, and the train pulled out with orders to catch up with the schedule as soon as possible. The train was drawn by engine No. 1.512. with Hugh Kelly as fireman. The average on the run was sixty-two miles an hour, including stops, which aggregated sixteen minutes. Tak- ing these out the running time for the distance was one hundred and eighty- three minutes, or an average of sixty- eight miles an hour. The Burlington is making a wonderful record with its fast mail service. It speaks well for the high standard of track and discipline that must prevail to accomplish such results.

Allow- ing for stops, the actual running time was seventeen hours and twenty- seven minutes, and the average rate of speed fifty-eight and three-quarters miles an hour. The most wonderful thing about this wonderful run is that it was made without special preparation.

IrtAAt#At1l1:AAtAAI ACICIAM 1 i Q tier Candidate. _ It is a pleasant conviction of old age that the affairs of the world are not quite so important as they were a few years ago and that the ability for con- ducting them is going back instead of advancing. This commentary is sug- gested by the experience that the old political campaigner was relating to some of the legislative friends when they met at the hotel. "I don't suppose," said the veteran, "that the like ever happened in Michi- gan, before or since. There was a ro- mance involved, some of the greatest men the nation ever produced took a hand, a whole community was divided by the bitterest factional war, the ca- reer of an ambitions congressman was suddenly terminated, and yet the little federal position involved was not worth over $100 a month, if that mach. It was a sort of a bloodless political duel, and I know of at least one participant that would rather have stood up and been shot at than to have lost. "It was right out here in the country where I was raised and brought up. There were only two prominent aspi- rants for the little office, but their rival- ry had stirred the town into a flutter of excitement from center to circumfer- ence. I think political interest is more general in the country than in the city, and in those days the individual was more assertive, more appreciative of the supreme rights of citizenship, be- cause he had not been suppressed by machines, combines, rings and bosses as he is now. The churches were internally divided on this issue, social bees were turned into debating societies where feeling ran high, the war was carried into the local paper by heated corre- spondents, the store and the postoffice were largely monopolized by the dis- putants, and some very old friendships were strained to the uttermost. "I was very much infatuated with the pretty danghter of my candidate. Now that I can view the situation more calmly, I realize that he was my candi- date because ehe w his s dao liter, bnt g wild horses couldn't have drawn such a confession from me at the time. His opponent also had a pretty daughter, and she, tco, had an admirer, who was a stanch supporter of her father in his time of political need. These two girls were rival belles, and Tom Harter and 1 were -regarded as among tho most ef- fective political herdsmen in that local- ity. You can understand how much feeling could be stirred up with such elements of discord. Farmers neglected thinga at home to wrangle or listen to others wrangle. Some of the amus n quit epcaltiug and said very unkind things of each other. The young people were as distinctly divided as though lined up in opposition at a spelling school, and there was more genuine temper displayed than in any presiden- tial campaign we had ever gone through. "Now, I was a not alone in my admi- ration for the daughter of my candidate. There were others, and several of them. I had never felt secure enough to ven- ture am a passingh throe P Posal and was g a very trying period of uncertainty. One afternoon as I was walking rapidly by her house I found her leaning over the gate and looking disconsolate enough to cry. `Tom Harter's going to Wash- ington tomorrow,' she said abruptly. 'You know what that means?' "Lovers think quickly, when capable of thinking at all, 'I should think he would go ander the circumstances. It's his duty.' " 'Then I Suppose father might as well draw out,' and there were tears in her lovely eyes. 'Oh, if I were only a man I' " `I'm thankful you're not,' I laugh- ed, and there were two of us leaning on the gate. 'I'm going to tell you some- thing that I have never confided to an- other person.' This was strictly true, for I had never thought of It till that minute. `Please don't mention it to a living person, not even to your father, for it might defeat all our plans. I go to Washington tonight, Hattie. I have everything ready. I'll take the train from the side opposite the platform, and no one will be the wiser until some time tomorrow. Did it ever enter that wise little bead of yours that I'd allow Torn to get the start of me or give you anything to cry over?' "Her eyes sparkled, roses came to her pale cheeks as if by magic, she turned a glad face toward rite and— well, who wouldn't? In my eagerness I had perpetrated a regular schoolboy smack and d a frightened ed robin l darted g a ted out of� the cherry tree over our heads. Keep in mind that we were leaning over the same gate. It was the first time too. "Well, I went through to Washing- ton as fast as steam would carry me and lost no time in hunting up the con- gressman from my district. He promised so much and did it with so little appar- ent consideration that I did not place much dependence upon his assistance. 1 thought of the girl I left at the gate, took courage of love and went right to the postmaster general. There, that comes of being rusty on politics. I did not mean to tell what position I was trying to have filled, but even that will not identify the town or the candidates. It happened that the secretary of state was sitting with the postmaster general, and I anppose that the latter wanted to make an impression. I stated my case to bim as concisely as I could, telling him of the central location of niy can- didate's place of business for the posi- tion and of the important fact that his appointment would be a great favor to me. "The general answered with a sneer elenelna that be made little attempt to conceal. He would be delighted to do me a per- sonal favor, it would be a downright pleasure for him, brit he did not see that the interests of the nation were seriously involved in this little appoint- ment, and he would withhold his deci- sion. Whatever that might be, be hoped that I would keep in mind the fact that be was postmaster general. 'I managed to tell him that the fact did not strike me as an unalloyed bless- ing and thought that I saw a pleasant twinkle in the eye of his distinguished caller. I went away mad and disheart- ened. Suddenly Senator Zach Chandler came to my mind. He was a friend of my father, both were from New Hamp- shire, and whenever the great leader was in our section of the state the two men would have a good time talking over the old home state. I went to the senator, telling him everything but the gate episode and the other party there- to. He knew me when I entered, for he never forgot names or faces. He in- quired particnlarly after my father, ex- pressing his regard for him teas an old friend, and was in a mood to favor any reasonable cause I might espouse. " `So he tried to sqnelch yon, did he?' And the old war horse's face had its sternest setting. 'Wanted to show off at the expense of one of niy friends and constituents, did he? Just drop this matter and meet me here at 8 this even- ing. That will let you out of the city tonight if yon want to go.' "I was on time, and Chandler hand- ed me a commission for my candidate. He stopped my thanks to ask me if it would inconvenience me to remain over till the next day. I was burning to get home with the glad tidings, but I would have given him a month had he asked it. `Then take this to the postmaster general, tell him that his treatment of yon was inexcusable; that Michigan men do not permit such attempts to humiliate them ; that he told you to re- member that be was postmaster gen- eral, and that you now ask hint to ac- cept notice that the state of Michigan has been removed from his immediate jurisdiction.' I followed instructions, and, while I do not know what that message from the president, sent to the general through Chandler and myself, contained, I do know that he wilted and stammered an apology. I also know that Chandler was the man after that who said who might hold postoffices in this state. "I gave that commission to the girl who cause running down to the same gate to meet me, and when I promptly attended to another little matter of business she said she would marry me a thousand times if it was going to make me so happy. Harter had to wait three years before his girl became good hu- mored enough to accept him. "—Detroit Free Press. Truly Remarkable. When the artist Hayden, stopping in a rural inn near Stratford, was beguiled by his own enthusiasm into expatiating upon the fame of Shakespeare to an as- sembly of local rustics, they admitted readily that Shakespeare was a person who had shed some distinction upon his native place, but they added that Strat- ford now contained another prodigy, one John Cooper. "John Cooper?" inquired Hayden "Why, what has he done?" "Why. zur, I'1l tell 'e," replied the spokesman 'tfc's lived 90 years in that 'ere town, man and boy, and niver had the tcothache!" This ancient anecdote has recently found a parallel in the same English county. A woman from Nuneaton was making a local boast of its connection with "the lady with a man's name who wrote books," meaning George Eliot, when another woman from a neighbor- ing village contemptuously interrupted her. "With a man's name l" she cried scornfully. "What's 's th at ? y at And what's the good of books? Now we've a woman yon may talk about in our place! She's lived 100 years and a bit over and quar- reled with seven daughters and two daughters-in-law and all her grandchil- dren 1 And her tongue's as brisk as ever it were, and she quarrels with the par- son's wife herself every time she comes to visit her. That's what I call a wom- an to respeot and a fine sight more to boast of than a person who miscalls her own name and makes books!" Palace and Hovel. Probably in Constantinople, which has been described as the "city of hov- els," there is a greater contrast between the public and private buildings than in any other city in the world. The streets are narrow, tortuous and dirty, and even the better class of private houses are mean in comparison with those of a similar clan in other coun- tries. On the other hand, the mosques and palaces are magnificent in size, de- sign and materials of construction, most of them being of marble, white or gray. The seraglio is one of the most splendid buildings in Europe. Berlin is a close second in this re- spect, boasting the finest street in Eu- rope. Unter den Linden and its public buildings will compare favorably with those of any other capital, but its slums and tenement houses are squalid and filthy in the extreme. Another city which is close in the running is Lisbon. When it was rebnilt afterthe earth- quake, the public buildings were built on a scale by no means justified by the finances of the country, while the pri- vate buildings had to be erected in ac- cordance with their owners' means. The contrast between them is therefore naturally very striking. They Were Both Right. Hioks-1 saw Gabble and Maunder a tittle while ago. I was quite delighted. Wicks—Delighted to see a couple of such outrageous bores? Hicks—They had just separated as 1 came within earshot. Gabble solilo- quized. "That fellow makes me so weary 1' and Maunder said to himself, "I'I1 bet I've lost a pound of flesh. "— Boston Transcript. Spontaneous Combustion of Hay- stack.. There have been many theories to ac- count for the spontaneous combustion of haystacks. This phenomenon is now ascribed to a microbe which breeds in the close, naoist atmosphere of the hay and causes a fermentation which gen- erates heat and finally ignition.—Chi- cago Record. NO MORE CABBY DISPUTES. Device to Register the Amount Each Passenger Must I'ay. The first cabs with the new taxameter attached have been put in service in London. One hundred cabs, says the New York Journal, are to be put on the streets this week by the Taxanieter company. When a passenger enters a cab, the record will be made that he is to pay a shilling. If the distance traveled is more than two miles, the limit of a shilling fare, the instrument adds a sixpence extra for each mile. Ifthe cab is kept waiting, the tax- ameter keeps account of the time charge Vacant FARE: TARIFF SMitl1NGS Pt NU EXTRAS am elms 1410222 LONDON CAB TASAMETEIt. and also records the extra twopence for each piece of luggage carried outside. The taxameter cab drivers will wear white hats and will net refuse extra tips over the legal amount of fare regis- tered by the ingenious little mechanism. According to a report jest received from the British consul general at Ber- lin, the taxameter cab fare indicator is very popular in that city and. through- out Germany. It appears that between 7,000 and 8,000 cabs are there .fitted with the indicator. At first cab proprietors and drivers were rancorous opponents to the intro- duction of the appliance. But time and experience have. it seems, shown them that it contains advantages to all con- cerned. It is claimed that. instead of taking money out of the cabmen's pock- ets. it really does the opposite. Artificial Lake In Kansas. Through the creation in Kansas of an artificial lake for the purpose of ir- rigation the people of the state hope to have a summer resort, something which they have longed f r. The lake is to b e in the Cheyenne bottoms, is to be 14 miles long and 3 to 4 miles wide and is to be fed by water from the Arkansas river, brought thrcngh a ditch 13 miles lcng. The Cheyenne bottoms are be- lieved to be the bed of an ancient lake, and their stitability for the purpose to which they are to be put was suggested by a cloudburst which filled the depres- sion with water to a depth of seven feet. It is planned to build several small tanneries on the bike and also to con- struct a drive ground the shore. making it a pleasure resort for western and cen- tral Kansas. The Kansas people have no body of water that they can reach without two days' travel. and there are thousands of yoou.t then and women who never saw a lake or a body of wa- ter larger than the Arkansas. It is be- lieved that they will flock to the new lake in summer to enjoy the luxury of a real boat ride. The) r of po trinity for a trip 14 miles and back will be very at- tractive to thea,, and it will be unique • in Kansas. - Hunters also .o look forward with int.Pre C _ the completion of the lake, for they expct it to become a fa- vorite gathering place for ducks.—St. Paul Pioncer Press. Value o4 Deep Breathing. Professor Washl.urn's method is to seek a chair irclineel at a comfortable angle and then to make inhalations and exhalations as long and gradual as pos- sible. He aimed at breathing withont any perceptible effort. The procees was so gradual with hint that to an observer be scarcely seemed to breathe at all. Yet by practice he so developed his lung power and lung expansion that he could inhale air for four or flve minutes. It will tax a beginner to inhale air gradually for one minute. Professor Washburn's method is the gradual method. He began by inflating the ab- domen, then the ribs, then the chest, all very gradually and without spas- modic effort: then as gradually be ex• haled. never letting go with a rush; never losing control of - the breathing, but bringing it more and more under the influence of the will and finding his physical development daily increasing. —Popular Science.

If the unfortunate person cornea to life and begins to breathe, the first action of the body is thea expansion P 0 east of the chest. This presses the button up- ward, and an alarm bell is set going in the office of the superintendent of the cemetery —Exchange. Telegraph to tine Klondike.

A surprised Barber. "Wearing wigs has not gone out of style by any means," said a New Or- leans barber who has an eye for the od- dities of the trade. "The only reason why we don't notice so many of them is that they are made a great deal bet- ter than they need to be. Why, even the barbers get fooled now and then. "The other day a gentleman came into the shop to get shaved. The barber finished the job without noticing any- thing unusual, and as he laid aside the razor be sprung the usual chestnut 'I notice a good deal of dandruff is ac- cumulating on your scalp,' he said, 'and if yon don't look out you'll begin to get bald.' That seemed to tickle the customer, and ho gainned from ear to ear. 'Oh, I guess I'‘ a got hair enough to last for awhile" says he, still grin- ning. 'Yon have plenty now,' says the barber, 'but *Nth all that dandruff it will soon commence to thin out. Better let me give you a nice shampoo.' "As he spoke be ran his hands through the gentleman's hair and gave it two or three hard rubs, and. upon my word, the whole thing came off just as if he had been scalped. The poor man yelled murder, and the bather stood there para- lyzed. holding the wig in his hands and his eyes sticking out like hat pegs. He told me afterward he was never so scared in his life. Since then be hasn't said a word about dandruff. "—New Orleans Times -Democrat. The Rushlight. Home manufactured rnshlights and candles were in constant use by the Scotch peasantry. Boiled animal fat gave the required tallow, and the same green rushes as were used for cruisie wick supplied it also in this case. In making rnshlights all the green coating of these rushes was stripped off, but for candle wick a thin strip was left on either side of the pith to strengthen and support it. Otherwise the manufacture of these two lights was very similar. This substance from the rushes when dried was tied to a rod, then dipped into the boiling fat and allowed to cool, and this process was repeated until the rnshlight, or candle. had become the desired thick- ness. In later years candles were made in molds. The tape was passed through a hole in the center of the mold and knotted to prevent it slipping. The fat was then poured in and allowed to cool. These molds. during the days of the candle tax. were jealously guarded by the owners and hidden in the most secret corners from the prying eyes of the exciseman. The candles were usual- ly made at night in some outhouse, and watchers were posted at convenient corners to give timely warning of any approach of the ubiquitous officer.— Good Words. A Good Parrot Story. A maiden lady of a certain town in Cornwall owned a parrot. which some- how acquired the disagreeable habit of observing at frequent intervals, "I wish the old lady would die." This an- noyed the bird's owner. who spoke to her curate abont it. "I think we can rectify tho matter,' replied the good man. "I also have a parrot, and he is a righteous bird, hav- ing been brought up in the way he ehoald go. I will lend you my parrot, and I trust his influence will reform that depraved bird of yours." The curate's parrot was placed in the same room with the wicked one, and as sown as the two had become accustomed to each other the bad bird remarked, "I wish the old lady would die," where- upon the clergyman's bird rolled up his eyes and in solemn accents added, "We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord I" The Ygot r out in parish, the art s and for several Sundays it was necessary to omit the litany at,the church services. —Household Words. William Black's Disturbed Dip. There lingers in Oban a legend to th, effect that one hot day William Black, the novelist, went to a quiet place out of sight to swim. He undressed in a re- mote part of the rocks. When he was in the water, a woman, deeply immers- ed in a blue volume, which was "The Princess of Thnle," came and sat un- wittingly near his clothes. The swim- mer, tired with his exercise, was anx- ious to return to his garments, but the lady on shore was far too engrossed with the fortunes of Princess Sheila to heed the coughing intimations of his presence. Presently matters came to a crisis. A sportsman passed along the rocks and discerned Mr. Black's dark head bobbing above the waves. He took it for a seal and was taking a deadly ails when Mr. Black jumped up in the water and Implored • "Don't fire. I'm a human man." The Largest Trees In the World. The largest tree in the world is to be seen at Mascali, near the foot of Mount Etna, and it is called "the Chest- nut Tree of a Hundred Horses." Its name rose from the report that Queen .Jane of Aragon, with her principal no- bility. took refuge from a violent storm ander its branches. The trunk is 204 feet in circumference. The largest tree in the United States, it is said, stands near Bear creek, on the north fork of the Tule river, in California. It meas- nres 140 feet in circumference. The giant redwood tree in Nevada is 119 feet in circumference.—Ladies' Home Journal. Some Curious Clubs. New York has a new feature in clubs. It is the "Dyspeptic club," and the test of eligibility for membership is a doctor's certificate that the applicant is suffering from a weak stomach. The object of the club is to promote "cheerfulness" among dyspeptics—a much needed quality—and, further, to furnish to the members the latest re- sults of science in treating indigestion. In Vienna there is a "Red Haired club" and to prevent fraudulent admis- sions every candidate is obliged to souse his head thoroughly in bot water and soda before the committee. In the same city there is a "Lazy club," no mem- ber of which does anything for a living. The Parisian head cooks of eminence in their profession have formed an as- sociation known as the "Culinary acad- emy." The members of this institution number 80 and meet once a month, when they discuss at length various matters concerning their art, compare notes, invent new dishes and touch up old ones. A Sort of Sherlock Holmes. "Gentlemen," began the proprietor of the only hotel at Basswood Corners, "I've run this here institution for over 80 years. It's given me a first rate chance to study human nater. An now in some respects I think I'm a sort of Sherlock Holmes. I've bad married cou- ples come here in all stages of their matrimonial careers, from the blushin, cooin things that hain't got the rice off 'em yet to the couples where the man let the woman carry most of the lug- gage, an I tell ye, gentlemen, I can tell purty straight how long a couple has been married by watchin the husband get his wife a drink of water." "Go ahead," we said. "What's your discovery ?" "Well, when the tender young honey- mooners come here an the feller get; the bride a drink of water, if there's any left in the glass after she gets through—why, be drinks it. If the couple has been married a year or so, the feller will throw out the water that his wife leaves in the glass and get himself some fresh. Ain't that purty straight ?" "Yes, but it doesn't go far enongh. How can you tell if they've ,:len mar- ried several years?" "Very easy, very easy. Then the feller not only throws out the water his wife leaves, but rinses the glass out be- fore he gets any for himself." They Looked Alike. A prominent South Side minister re- lates an experience which be bad the other night in a street car while be was returning home. There was but one other passenger in the car, a jovial looking man, who sat in one corner with his bat palled down to shade his eyes. The minister felt that the other man was watching him, but every time he turned his eyes in that direction the passenger was looking out of the window and smiling. Finally their glances met, and the pleas- ant looking passenger kept his eyes fixed on the minister's face, scrutinizing hien carefully. The minister coughed and looked embarrassed, and then the other man, looking a little sheepish, came over and, sitting down beside him, extended a band, at the same time saying: "Stranger, I've been thinking that we look so much alike we'd ought to get acquainted." The minister smiled and shook the band, and they soon were chatting like old friends. As the stranger rose to leave the car he passed out a card, saying: "Come around when you're down my way." After he ''had gone the minister glanced at the card and read after the man's name: "Wines, liquors and ci- gars. The coziest place on the South Side. "—Chicago News. He AVne Careful of 111. Voice. Brignoli, the famous tenor, was very susceptible to flattery, and it is said that once in New York, when the or- chestra vigorously applauded one of his favorite songs, be was so touched that he came down to the footlights and in- vited them all to a champagne supper at the Everett House. The supper cost him $500. Brignoli was very careful of his voice and was terribly afraid of drafts. It was once stated that during the winter it always took him three-quar- ters of an hour to get from his room to the street. First, he would, on leaving his room, pace the hall for ten minutes to get ac- climated. He then descended to the lobby, where the temperature was a lit- tle lower, and spent 20 minutes there. He then ventured to the vestibule, from which the door opened into the street. He world parade the vestibule for 15 minutes, occasionally opening the door to let in a little cold air. Being now accustomed to a cool temperature, b e, e would button up his coat and sally forth.—Natio>aal Magazine. Where the Funds Went. As an instance of the happy go lucky character of the early darky the follow- ing extract from the Albany city rec- ords may prove interesting: "In 1826 the trustees of the African Baptist church applied to the common council for permission to circulate a public subscription paper inaid of the funds of the church. It was moved to lay the petition on the table, pending investigation, for the reason that the principal part of the funds secured by a previous subscription for the African church bad been used by the trustees in 'treating themselves to hot sup- pers.'

That beautiful transparent stone call- ed Tabriz marble, much used in the burial places of Persia and in their grandest edifices. consistss of theP etri- fied water of ponds in certain parts of the country. Thif petrification may be traced from its commencement to its termination. o In oneP art the water is clear, in a second it appears thicker and stagnant, in a third quite black, and in its last stage it is white like frost. When the operation is complete, a stone thrown on its surface r2;_kes no impression, and one may walk over it without wetting one's shoes. The sub- stance thus produced is brittle and transparent, and sometimes richly striped with red, green and copper color. So much is this marble, which may be cut into large slabs, looked upon as a luxury that none but the king, his sons and persons especially privileged are permitted to take it. Why Wood Crackees. Wood crackles when it is ignited be- cause the air expanded by beat forces its way through the pores of the wood with a crackling noise. Green wood makes less snapping than dry because the pores contain less air, being filled with sap and moisture, which extin- guish the flame, whereas the pores of dry wood are filled with air, which supporta combustion. Superstition and Its Effects. I wish that some one; would write an adequate book upon superstition and its effects, as distinguished from and op- posed to revealed religion and its effects. This curse of the world, civi- lized or savage, deserves a worthy chron- icler. Walking round the exhibits in the Agricultural hall, it was borne in to my mind that superstition in all its hideous phases is perhaps the most con- crete and tangible form in which the evil one manifests himself upon earth, and I think that those who have mixed much with native races will not dis- agree with me. Here is an instance of its working which has just come to my notice Not long ago two Matabeles were tried at Bulawayo for the murder of their 1:r :nd- son, a child of 2. Poison having failed, the boy was held beneath the water and drowned. The crime was admitted. but the defense raised was that the child had cut its top teeth first. Such chit dren being unlucky and the cause of ill luck to others. it was cu:'tomary to kill them, and a "witch doctor." on being consulted, had ordered that this oris should be put to death!

"How many acres have you?" I in- quired. "A hundred and forty -20 in wheat. 60 in corn, 10 in medder an paster. an the balance scatterin an woods." "Got any stock'?" "Ten head uv cattle, two cows, six hogs an work critters fer the place." "And you run the whole business?' "Indeed I do—every hide an hair uv it," she sighed. "Don't you hire soave help?' "In course, but 'tain't hired help that takes the load of'en a body. " There was philosophy in that statement, and I pansed a minute. "Haven't you got a husband?"

The Fertility of the Soil Largely Due to the Atoms. "If it wasn't for dust." said profess- or Wiley, the chief chemist of the agricultural department at Washing- ton, "than would have to devise a new plan of existence. He would be com- pelled to provide himself with food by some other means than agriculture. You could not have a garden or a -farm without dust. It would not be possible for a crop to grow unless the soil con- tained an organism capable of convert- ing nitrogenous matter into nitric acid. Nitrogen is indispensable as plant food, and plants can assimilate it only when presented in the form of nitric acid, commonly known as aqua fortis. That is incapable of autolocomotion, and can be distributed only through the dust which falls upon the soil and upon the leaves of trees and plants; hence dust is essential to the pursuit of agricnl- tare, and if it wasn't being carried about constantly on the breeze through the air we would simply have to quit farming. Animals would have nothing to feed upon, and we would have nei- ther meat nor bread nor vegetables. "I have been spending some years," continued Professor Wiley, "in the in- vestigation of the agricultural valve of dust, and it is a very important sub- ject. The soil is continually being re- vived and enriched from the particles that are floating about in the atmos- phere. They come from two sources— firt, atoms of the earth's surface caught up by the wind and distributed else- where, and. secor:l, what we call cos- mic dust—that is, mineral matter of meteoric origin. "We are getting gradually to nnder- stand its quantity, its value and the important part it plays in agriculture, The heavenly bodies are constantly shedding fragments of iron and other mineral substances, which fall with great velocity and when they reach the atmosphere that surrounds the earth are heated by friction and catch lire by contact with the •oxygen. They are then burned to ashes and scattered in minute and invisible atoms: Some of. the larger pieces that become detached from the stars reach the earth without being entirely consumed. We call them meteors, but the little particles that permeate the air, because of this per- petual and violent bombardment from the stars, are composed of phosphoric acid, potash and other chemicals, which are absolutely essential in renewing the fertility of the soil. "What we call terrestrial dust is also of great importance to agriculture. In many places the soil is almost entirely composed of particles that have been left there by the winds. This is partic- ularly true of soils that are made up of volcanic ashes, which are carried im- mense distances from the craters. A considerable percentage of the soil on the earth's surface was originally vol- canic dust, which has been distributed by that good friend of man we call the wind. Pompeii and Herculaneum illus- trate the great depth to which volcanic dust may reach. These are called lEo- lien soils. "The dost from the streets of cities is of a composite nature, and carries all sorts of fragments and atoms in va- rious stages of decay. It has a high de- gree of agricultural significance, be- cause it is loaded with germs of all kinds. Some of them are very useful and some are injurious. The effect upon the public health is not injurious except where the dust carries pathogenic germs —that is, the germs of disease. As an illustration, the sputum of a consump- tive, if ejected on the sidewalk, is re- duced to dust when it dries, and is then distributed through the air in the form of germs. If they find lodgment in the lungs of a human being whose physical condition allows them to re- vive and grow, the disease gets a foot- hold and can be conveyed from one to another. "—Chicago Record. Japan Buys Our Tobacco. There are extraordinarily large ship- ments of tobacco going to Japan at the present time, and new contracts have been recently made by which the con- dition of the trade will be maintained firm for some time to come.

How Hannibal Hamlin Won the Title In the Maine Legislature. Among the many stories of Hamlin's early experiences in the Maine legis- lature none is more animated than his tilt with John Holmes, interesting, be- sides, because it gives the origin of "the Carthaginian of Maine," a name that stuck to Hamlin through life. Holmes had been in the United States senate, and at this particular time, writes General Hamlin, a member of the state house of representatives, was endeavoring to domineer over it. Hamlin disputed the leadership with him, and Holmes attempted to crush his young opponent by coarsely ridicul- ing his swarthy complexion. Instantly Hamlin jumped to his feet and, point- ing his finger at Holmes, retorted: "If the gentleman chooses to find fault with use for my complexion, what has he to say about himself? I take my complexion from nature. He gets his from the brandy bottle. Which is more honorable?" This retort was greeted with grt'at applause and cries cf "Gc on!" Hamlin then continned, pointing his finger at Holmes: "I will also tell the member from Alfred that he is more conspicuous for trying to run dryshod over young men than for trying to en• courage them. But as long as they are true to themselves and to nature and as long as the member front Alfred sticks to the brandy bottle they need not fear him." As soon as the cheers of the house could be sufficiently silenced Holmes retracted his words and made a manly apology. "The young Cartha- ginian routed the old Roman" was one bnmorons comment on the incident, and from that time Hamlin was thus frequently characterized. —Lewiston Journal. THE CLIMATE OF CHICAGO. How Could the Poor Frenchman Tell What 1t Could Do.' While in Chicago M. de Monvel, the French artist, heard one story that puz- zled him. It was told at a dinner party, and he smiled just as if he understood it. That night he thought it over, but the more be thought the less he com- prehended it. Finally a fellow artist who had heard the story repeated it, drew pictures of it; and then a light broke on M. de Monvel, and he laughed. "Ale we Frenchmen are stupid when compared with the Americans!" he ex- claimed. "I shall tell that story, and it will make Paris laugh." The little tale was about a French carpenter who bought a saw from a Chicago manufacturer who made a specialty of advertising.

The Frenchman read the advertisement, and the day ho bought the saw he put it carefully away. The next day he used it and left it ont of doers in the pouring rain. A neighbor remonstrated with him for his carelessness, and he picked up the saw, pointed to its in- scription and exclaimed: "Does not le acie—no, I mean ze saw —say nn jour in et un jour out—one day in and one day out—and zis will wear longer than all ze saws?

GUARD YOUR HEALTH SOME RULES 1 .' WHICH YOU MAY PROLONG YOUR LIFE. The Careful (sating of Simple Food. Regnlrtrity In I?:abits of Living and. Abuse All, Proper Breathing Are Essential to Longevity. Men and wcmen know less about the care of their own health than of any other snbj2ct. That is the oldest and plainest kind of a fact. The fanner who keeps his cows and horses alive and well into very old ago dies when he ehonld be in his prime. The woman who knows all about the care of linen, oilcloth, flowers, etc., knows nothing about her own mucous membrane or the care of her children's teeth. Igno ranee shortens by a third the normal life of the average man who passes 50. It kills outright thousands and millions in early youth. In some ways this may have been a good thing. Men and women have died when their active careers were ended and the , populations harried by the struggle for existence were not bothered unduly by the care of the aged. When so bothered, as Eli Reclus so grewsome- ly relates, it has been the custom of va- rious peoples to hasten the end for the old folks even to the extreme of murder Probably yon take a very solemn and mysterious view of doctors' wisdom. Learn that it amounts to very little. The surgeon is a remarkable chap, and he has reduced cutting and slicing to marvelous perfection. But his friend. the pill and prescription giver. can really do very little. He can only help nature along to a limited extent, and the more he lets nature alone the better it is for the patient as a rule. With the aid of drugs he can free the system from a clogged upstate, and that is abont all he can do. When he has given you castor oil or salts or something to make you perspire, his work is done. Will you kindly take, therefore, a lit- tle advice and see if it does not improve your condition? Eat little—remember that what you eat does not give you strength. It simply repairs the waste cf tissues. Your food is as important to you as the oil on a locomotive's axles. not more important. Do not imagine that food to your body is what coal is :o the engine. The engine gets its strength from coal. You get yours from the air that you breathe. The Swiss mountaineer with a few crackers will climb all ever the Alps, while you, full of all sorts of fancy food, cannot follow him. The big dark sten rowing your boat on the Nile go all day on a hand- ful of parched corn and a handful of dates. They eat meat perhaps ones a month—yon could not begin to do their work with ten times the nourishment. Do not starve yourself, but of that there is never danger. Eat little while you must work. Eat enough once a day, and do no work for two hours after- ward, and don't sleep within two hours of eating. Eat very slowly—nothing can exceed that in importance. Eat simple things and changeyour diet frequently from one simple thing to another. Never eat half grown things. Lamb, veal, young animals of any sort are poisonous. They are as bad as green fruit. Nature means that her creations shall reach maturity and punishes those who kill and eat them prematurely. Eat regularly, al- ways at the same hours. and chew care- fully. Pay great attention to breathing. In that is the secret of long life and ener- . y. Yon know, probably, that your blood, having accumulated the impuri- ties of the body, passes through your lungs to be cleaned. Through the lungs Impurity leaves the body and through the longs the blood takes up fresh sup- plies of the strength on which your work is done. The electricity of the air is taken up by the red blood corpuscles and the life current goes back through the system fall of vigor. Breathe in slowly and breathe out just as slowly. If you work in an office, stop occasionally to take ten very deep breaths. Go to your work when possi- ble on the platform of the car and de- vote tbat time to proper breathing. One hundred deep breaths per day slowly inhaled and exhaled, filling your entire lung capacity from the bottom to the very top, will easily add two inches to - your chest measure in a year. No young man or young woman need have a fiat chest. Proper breathing will give yon proper lungs and hence a chest of the right sort. Careful eating, simple food, slow eat- ing, long chewing; avoidance of such American crimes as hot cakes, hot bread, hot biscuit, horrible hash, etc.; regularity in all functions of the body —eating and sleeping at the same hours and sleeping the same number of hours with extra sleep one day in the week; careful breathing above alL Yon can live two weeks without food. You can- not live five minutes without air, and that alone should make yon understand the importance of the lungs. Try to make yourself strong and healthy, and if you succeed use your health to make your brain work. Think and talk to your fellows and take an interest in the politics and future of your country. If you don't do that, yon might as well as not die of buckwheat cake poisoning as ice water degenera- tion.—New York Journal. A Close lineae.

Thomas in Dial. HESTILL LIVES. A Case Where Medical Science Made a Little Miscalculation. "Medical science occasionally makes a grand miscalculation," said an old citizen. "I never pass a certain house on lower Prospect street without re- membering that 28 years ago a certain noted doctor of this town—he died re- cently—condemned me to death. 'Yon have but a week to live,' he said. "This was information of somewhat serious import to me, although, at that time, I didn't much care whether it was a week or a month. Bnt I went to another doctor. 'Are yon really fright- ened?' he asked. `No,' I said; 'I've got beyond that.' Then he remarked, 'Yon can't last a month.' Somehow this cor- roborative testimony didn't satisfy me. Before I got through my search for in- formation I consulted eight doctors. And, by the way, I was hunting through the second week before I made the rounds. Of course they all agreed pret- ty well. The most liberal man of the lot said I might pull through for a year, but he greatly doubted it. The other medicos gave me from a week to three months. "Well, sir, I've attended the funerals of five of those doctors, and, please God, I'll see the other three under the sod before I quit. "Understand me—I was a pretty tough object at that time. A bronchial trouble bad worn me to skin and bone. I walked with a crutch and a cane. I could scarcely talk. All the doctors agreed that my lnngs were past mend- ing. Five of them said I had but one long left, and that, they claimed. was on its last legs. "Well, when I went to the ninth doctor, I was mate deer through. I knew he didn't have a blessed idea con- cerning my case. But he tried hard to look knowing and went back to his lit- tle drug tank and presently returned with a neat package wrapped in white paper. I handed hint the $2 be demand- ed and walked away. 'Here,' he said ; 'you've forgotten your medicine.' I turned back. `No, I haven't,' I said hotly; 'I left it there purposely. Give it to the next credulous fool whose case you don't understand.' Say, it did me good to get mad. I went home, chucked every druginto the barrel,staid ash out in the open air all I could, wasn't the- least bit careful about myself, worked about the house every day until exhausted and began to get better. By George 1 Inside of a year I was in tiptop condition! Look at me now I Sound as a dollar! Yes, sir, science does occa- sionally slip up with considerable unan- imity. "—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Elephants Hate Camels. Elephants have the bitterest enmity to camels. When the camel scents the elephant, it stops still, trembles in all its limbs and utters an interrupted cry of terror and affright. No persuasion, no blows, can induce it to rise. It moves its bead backward and forward, and its whole frame is shaken with mortal anguish. The elephant, on the contrary, as soon as he perceives the camel, elevates his trunk, stamps with his feet, and with his trunk thrown backward, snorting with a noise like the sound of a trumpet, he rashes to- ward the camel, which with its neck out- stretched and utterly defenseless awaits with the most patient resignation the approach of its enemy. The elephant, with its enormous ehapelPss limbs, tramples on the unfortnna#animal in such a manner that in a few minutes it is scattered around in small fragments. The Brother Qualified It.

An old journal, dated Jan. 16, 17 97. gives the following amusing account of the wearing of the first silk hat in London: "John Hetherington, haber- dasher, of the Strand, was arraigned be- fore the lord mayor yesterday on a charge of breach of the peace and in- citing to riot, and was required to give bonds in the sum of £500. It was in evidence that Mr. Hetherington, who is well connected, appeared on the public highway wearing upon his head what he called a silk hat (which was offered in evidence), a tall structure having a shiny luster and calculated to frighten timid people. "As a matter of fact the officers of the crown stated that several women fainted at the unusual sight, while children screamed, dogs yelped, and a younger son of Cordwainer Thomas, who was returning from a chandler's shop, was thrown down by the crowd which had collected and had his right arm broken. For these reasons the de- fendant was seized by the guards and taken before the lord mayor. In extenu- ation of his crime the defendant claim- ed that he had not violated any law of the kingdom, but was merely exercising a right to appear in a headdress of his own design—a right not denied to any Englishman." The Vanishing Weasel. As I lay stretched on the bank at the foot of a great maple I saw a weasel run along in the brush fence some dis- tance away. A few seconds later he was standing on the exposed root of the tree hardly a yard from my eyes. I lay mo- tionless and examined the beautiful creature minutely, till suddenly I found myself staring at the smooth, greenish gray root of the maple, with no weasel in sight. Judging from my own experience, I should say that this is the usual termi- nation of any chance observations of ei- ther weasels or minks. Occasionally they may be seen to dart into the bushes or behind some log or projecting bank, but much more frequently they vanish with a suddenness that defies the keen- est eyesight. In all probability this van- ishing is accompanied by extreme rapid- ity of motion, but if this is the case then the creature succeeds in doing something utterly impossible to any other warm blooded animal of its size. Mice, squirrels and some of the emall- er birds are all of them swift enough at times, but except in the case of the humming bird none of them, I believe, succeeds in accomplishing the result achieved by the weasels.—Popular Science Monthly. It Proved a Boomerang. There can be no doubt that the war indemnity paid by France to Germany after the six weeks' war, was a boom• erang to score up against Bismarck. The good it did to France is inestimable. Prior to the war there was an enormous amount of money locked up in the form of small savings. The appeal of the gov- ernment to the people set this sum into profitable motion, and, to the a aze- men t of the world, France paid o her creditor in less than half the stipulated P time. This gave a vast impulse to °busi- ness enterprise of all kinds, and since then France has steadily become more wealthy. In Germany the effects were less beneficial. The huge influx of gold sent up prices with a rush." A mania for speculation set in, followed by the inevitable crisis. Most serious of all, however, was the unexpected discovery of France's strength. Bismarck intend- ed to cripple her forever, but he only revealed her immense power, and this, of course, necessitated the gigantic mili- tary burdens which year by year weigh more heavily upon Germany.—Cincin- nati Enquirer. The Trials of a Writer. Why should the young, aspiring an- thor be discouraged or become weary in well doing? We have a letter from one of them in which he says: "Five years ago I submitted a short story to a certain magazine. It was re- turned immediately. I sent it to anoth- er. It came back. All told, I have sent that same story to 27 magazines, great and small. It has been five yearson the road, going and coming. But recently I sent it to the magazine that first de- clined it, and it was accepted, with thanks and a satisfactory check! Of course in that time the old editors of this certain magazine either died or re- signed, and it must have fallen into the hands of some new man, who had not seen it before. But in five years' time the postage on that manuscript amount- ed to $17.501 I got thrice that figure for it at last, so I am not grumbling 1" One will gather from the above that the "literary business" means this, if it means anything: "Patience and shuffle the cards 1"—Atlanta Constitu- tion. Saying His Prayers. The following story of the old king of Hanover is told in "Foreign Courts and Foreign Homes" by A. M. F.: "My father went to the door of the loyal apartments (with some dispatches from London), knocked loudly once, twice. No answer. He knocked loaded and louder. The door was opened, and a page came out, and inside the king's voice was heard, using oath after oath, winding up by asking: 'What the blank blank blank did you want?' "The page, with a frightened look on his face, took the dispatches, Baying, 'His majesty was not to be disturbed, as he was saying his prayers' " Iron That Is Thin.

Ask Your Physician What he thinks of Rochelle Salts as a "diet." Dr. A. Warner Shepard, formerly health officer in Brooklyn, says: "I have not the slightest doubt that the mental and physical health of thousands is permanently injured by the excessive use of Rochelle salts in impure bread and other forms of food. It is certainly a factor in the alarming increase of Bright's disease of the kidneys and sim- ilar complaints. It irritates the stomach, bowels and kidneys and produces the most unfortunate results." Food prepared with Calumet Baking Powder is entirely free from Rochelle Salts, Alum, Ammouid, Lime or,any injurious substance. There are baking powders on the market that lay great stress on their "purity," that will deposit the enormous quantity of 186 grains of Rochelle salts in each loaf of bread. If you value your health use only CALUMET. NONE SO COOD Four Ugly Beasts. There are four beasts in the world that can give long odds in the way of ugliness to anything else that lives. One of them is a monkey, a grewsome looking beast called the bearded saki. This is ao utterly grotesque a beast that it would scarcely be safe to let a child or nervous person see it. The ugliness is not of al amusing kind, but of an evil, sinister nature. The beast has a sort of beard and a countenance unlike anything else in shape and lines. The monkey itself is not particularly sav- age, but is so hideous that the natives of its country, South America, say that no beast of prey, bcwever hungry, will tackle it. Even a hungry jaguar would starve in a cageful of sakis. Then there is a tree climbing beast that is as queer a nondescript as one could hope to see. It has a sharp face and long, jointed fingers and is called the aye -aye, from its cry. This looks like one of the most appallingly weird of all those strange beasts one sees in nightmares and cannot get away from; but, like the sakis, is of a gentle dispo- sition. It lives in South Africa. A full grown aye -aye looks like a blend of jackal, pig and monkey. Then there is the Tasmanian devil of the antipodes, which is as savage as it it. ugly, and, lastly, a species of Asiatic ground rat called the bund: How Banks Use Their Millions. Many people wonder how banks use all the money deposited in them and how they manage to pay interest there- on and yet come out at the end of the year with a big profit on the business. Wbat they do is trade with the mon- ey. To the depositor they pay between 1 and 2 per cent, but the money they lend brings them in 3, 5, 6. 7 and even 8 per cent. For instance, they give loans on all sorts of securities, such as railway debentures, government stock, public company shares, dock warrants, bills of lading, etc. They also lend money on the security of houses and land, but not to a great extent, as repayments are slow. When a couple of substantial business men or farmers or professional men back a bill, the bank often lends with- out any security at all, but. now and again they have heavy and ruinous losses on these loans. All banks, however, have large sums of money constantly lying idle. for they must keep sufficient cash at the various branches to pay checks and even to be more or less prepared for panics. Still, the difference between the 1 or 2 per cent they pay and the 8 to 8 they re- ceive on millions of dollars leaves them an immense profit on the year's busi- ness. Two Dangerous Trades. File cutting and glass polishing are the two trades in which the operatives are constantly subjected to the slow and stealthy growth of industrial disease. The danger in their case is even more alarming than in those which have been previously dealt with, as the power which daily menaces them is that most pernicious and treacberons evil, lead poisoning. In the case of file cutters the mischief is contained in the bed upon which the file is placed for cut- ting. This is composed of metallic lead, for, although other substances have been tried, it is declared that none of them give the desired amount of re- sistance without resilience obtained by a lead bed. Glass polishing is dangerous in that the powder with which the edges of cut glass are treated contains 80 to 70 per cent of oxide of lead. Here, again, the same remedies are demanded, and for- tunately they are not so difficult of at- tainment. In both these cases the poison pursues its victims with a malice as re- lentless as it is appalling, which kills or maims as surely as does any explosion or accident by violence.—Fortnightly Review. Barbed Wire Telephones. Telephone monopoly is not feared where barb wire fencing may be used as a medium for telephonic communica- tion. Such use of the fencing has been made in several places in the west, and a typical illustration is the "system" in use in Mason county, Ills It started with a line a mile and a half long, in- etituted by an amateur electrician to connect his father's farmhouse with the poetofflce, and this worked so well that seven other lines were established. 21 miles in length and operating 88 telephones. The coat of the wire need not be considered, of course, and the telephones cost only $8 each. The Queer Dnnliards. The Dunlrards are one of the moat peculiar religions sects in the country. Their name is properly Tunkers and is derived from the German word "tunk- en," to dip. Theyiare also called Tum- blers from their ibetbod of baptism, which is to put the person, while kneel- ing, head first nnder the water. The ,sect was founded in Germany in the seventeenth century. but its members were persecuted and in 1725 accepted an invitation from William Penn to set- tle in Pennsylvania. They live largely in communities and follow somewhat closely the custcms of the Quakers in regard to dress. They never engage in lawsuits, take no oaths and no active part in politics. They do not believe in war, and divorce is unknown among them. Twice a year each congregation bas a love feast, in which the members Wash each other's feet and salute each other with the kiss, of fellowship, men kissing men, and women women. Until recently the tak- ing of interest for money loaned was not allowed among them. They are an agricultural people. and ae Pennsylva- nia and the other eastern states have become more thickly settled the Dun- kards have gradually removed to more western states.—Washington Post. Helena an Sae vitt Wei. A little group of old timers were talking abont the palmy days of wide open gambling in New Orleans. "It used to be pretty lively, I admit," said one of the veterans, "but the only sure enough Monte Carlo this country ever saw was out in Montana. I'll never for- get the first time I struck Helena. It's a good sized, handsome city, and I took a stroll down the main street looking at the stores. Pretty soon I was struck cold by a monster sign of 'Licensed Gambling House' right over the door of one of the finest places in town. "In less than a block I ran across a dozen other signs of the same kind, and then I began to ask questions. I found that the law required all gaming places to pnt up such boards. They had to be 15 feet long and 2 feet wide, with plain white letters on a black ground. The original bill didn't specify the size, so some of the houses had signs made about half an inch long, that you'd need a microscope to read, and that's why the particulars were laid down so exactly. The gambling shops were sand- wiched right in between groceries and shoe stores, and one of 'em was next door to a church. It locked funny, I tell you. "—New Orleans Times-Demo- trat. Wonderful Hairdressing. Hairdressing in Zululand is an im- portant feature, both to the bride and bridegroom, and the attention paid to the coiffure of the pair would shame the performance of a west end hairdresser who arranges a bride's locks and fastens the orange blossom chaplet. A cone shaped erection, for instance, is the lawful coiffure of a Zulu wife, and this cannot be legally worn till the marriage rites are duly completed. Save for the all important cone, the head of a Zulu bride is closely shaved, an as- segai being used for the purpose, while as soon as a youth is of marriageable age his head is shorn to leave a ring around the scalp and then liberally be- smeared with fat and ocher, without which unguents no Zulu would feel et— tingly decorated for his bride. When the bridegroom elect has been shorn of all his hair save the wool on the crown, which is trained in a circu- lar shape and some four inches indiam- eter, a ting is sewed to this gum and charcoal. In this the Zuln thrusts long snuff spoons, needles and small utility articles and is very proud of his ring, which is the badge of manhood.—Cas- sell's Magazine. The Wheel.

IRVING TODD & SON. SATURDAY. MAY 13th. 1899. The School Bonds. The special election to determine whether the city of IIastings will issue $30,000 bonds to replace the present inadequate and dilapidated schoolhouse with a modern and up to date building will be held next Thursday, 18th inst. This is a ques- tion which appeals directly to the better judgment of every public spirited citizen, and there should be no doubt as' to the result. As a community we cannot longer afford to be outclassed by every village of two thousand or less population in the state of Minnesota, with the inevitable reaction that must follow sooner or later to our material dis- advantage. It is not economy to continue the existing makeshifts another season, particularly with an increasing enrollinent which must be provid.d for at the opening of the fall term. Good schools cost money; poor schools are but little better than none. The Gazette is indebted to Senator Schaller for a copy of the Legislative Manuel for 1899, one of the most valuable reference books now issued, and alnong the indispensables at the editorial table. The present volutne is quite an improvement over previous issues, and com- pared with those of the 70s is a whole library in itself. A Northfield paper accounts for the defeat of their high school nine on Monday] upon the ground that "the Hastings team is made up of old timers at the sport, with a profes- sional pitcher." This is a good ex- cuse, if it were only true. There are several bad places in our sidewalks which should be brought to the attention of the contractor before the guaranty of two years expires by limitation. Otherwise the city will, at some time, have to make the re- pairs at its own expense. The determination of the city coun- cil to resurrect the dog and bicycle ordinances is a good one. Both should be strictly enforced or repealed. The question .of a new school build- ing is of more vital importance to the town and its future prospects than the insane Asylum . E. W. Durant, of Stillwater, has been elected president of the Minne- sota Territorial Pioneers' Association. What a joke upon the democratic organs it would be if Reed didn't re- sign his seat in congress: Dr. J. R. Conway, a former well known Farmington dentist, has lo- cated at Worthington. The other veto message was regard- ing the bill to erect a hospital for the insane at Anoka and purchasing a site for one at Hastings. No attempt was ' de to pass this bill over the veto, b instead a compromise. bill to mea Gov. Lind's objections was passe to erect two asylums, one at Anoka and one at Hastings. If the first bill, the one to erect a hospital at Anoka, had become a law it would have saved many dollars to Isanti County annually as well as to all oth- er counties in this part of the state, in the cost of transporting patients. Under the bill vetoed the county world only have had to transport the patients to Anoka, under the one sign- ed by the governor all patients have to be transported to one of the three old institutions. It meant a saving in this county of at least $35 on each patient if the vetoed bill had become a law. It is very easy to figure eut how much Gov. Lind helped Isanti County over the left.-Isanti County Press. All over the state the question is asked,"What was the object of Gov. Lind in vetoing that first Anoka -Hast- ings asylum bill, and signing the sec- ond bill, which calls for practically the same thing in the long run?" The first bill called for an asylum at Anoka and a $15,000 site at Hastings, to be used later on by the state for an additional asylum. This did not suit the governor and he vetoed the bill. Another bill was passed by the legis- lature calling for cottages at both places, which will each accommodate four hundred patients. It is only a question of time when these two towns will each have as big a hospi- tal as St. Peter or Rochester. -New Ulm Journal. A committee of three of the board of state hospital trustees, Dr. A. W. Daniels being one of the members, left Monday for Madison and other points in Wisconsin, to examine the plan of cottage asylums for the in- sane. This is preparatory to the erection of cottages for the insane at Anoka and Hastings. -St. Peter Tri- bune.

The stockholders of the West Side Bank, which was recently taken in charge by the public examiner, met Monday afternoon at the bank, 146 S. Wabasha Street, and, after going over the bank's accounts very carefully and averaging its business during the past five years, decided not to con- tinue the business further than to liquidate outstanding debts. It will not receive any more deposits. The public examiner, on being notified of the intention of the stockholders, ap- proved the plan, and he will turn the assets of the institution over to the officers. The entire outstanding ob- ligations of the bank are a trifle less than $35,000, and consist of certifi- cates. All cash deposits of deposit- ors have been paid. When it is re- membered that when the bank open- ed its doors in November, 1897, its obligations amounted to something like $94,000 this is a magnificent showing. The Times is astonished that the bank could have cut down its indebtedness $60,000 in so short a time with busine,as as close as it has been. It does not quite see how even the popocratic, calamity howling bank •examiner could have expected it to do better, and just why he should pounce upon this bank at a time when it had not failed to meet one cent of its obligations, and when none were due that were not paid, seems a little hard for those not posted on political events to undhstand. The policy of the bank now is to go ahead and liquidate all the claims, dollar for dollar. There :tire no preferred claims, hence each depositor will be paid pro rata as the money comes in, and in time every cent will be paid. The work of converting the assets into cash will commence at any time. It is a matter which the creditors of the hank are congratulating themselves over that the officers of the bank will wind up the business themselves, thus saving the expensive salary of a re- ceiver who would have no more inter- est in the concern than to get all he could out of it. In his action the bank examiner has struck a blow at the business interests of the west side which they may have occasion to re- member.- West St. Paul Times Base Ball. Our boys played the initial game of the season at the fair grounds Monday afternoon with the High School nine of Northfield, winning an easy victory. The visitors were outclassed on nearly every point, consequently it was somewhat of a one sided affair. The Carisch Bros. put up some good ball, proving a great acquisition to the club. The diamond has been moved over in front of the grand stand, and protect- ed with wire netting. There was a good attendance, quite a number coining in from our neighboring city. The game was called after the sixth inning in order to make the train. HASTINGS. NORTHFIELD. O. R. O.R. Nesbitt.

The normal school has received from Prof. Phelps, of St. Paul, a very interesting cross, cut by a converted Sioux Indian from the famous pipe - stone rock, found only in the south- western part of this state. The cross stands about eighteen inches high and has stone candles on each side of it, the whole resting upon a base of the same material. The workmanship is very fine, and indicates a degree of skill which is remarkable. The piece was first presented by the maker to Gen. H. H. ,Sibley, the early pioneer and first governor of the state of Min- nesota, who was elected in 1857. FrothGen. Sibley it passed into the bands of EL,S. Smith, one of the old- est and earliest teachers of St. Paul. A short time before his death in 1897 Mr. Smith. presented it to Prof. Phelps, and the latter has now sent it to the mutseurj of the state normal school at Winona, as being an espec- ially appropriate custodian of a relic so interesting and valuable in an ethno- logical as well as historical way. It will be given a prominent place in the museum and valued highly. -Winona Republican. It is reported on seemingly good authority that before many months the Great Western Company will die - continue running any of its passenger trains into the union depot, and will take on and discharge all its passen- gers, both local and through, from a new passenger station of its own on the west side of the river, where it will erect a passenger station which will be modern and fully equal to all the demands of the company for its St. Paul business. The new station is to be for the use of the Great Western trains, but it is not certain that some of the other roads will not quit the union depot for the new one across the river. It is to be said in favor of the change that the new location is as accessible for street cars as the old, and it is but little farther from the business part of the city and the hotels generally, than the union station. -West St. Paul Times.

The World's Record B ii r 1 i n lan Route For long distance fast running is held by the Burlington Route. February 15th, 1897, a spacial train over its lines made the run from Chicago to Denver, a distance of ten hundred and twenty-five miles, in the unprecedented time of eighteen hours:and fifty-three minutes. Allow- ing for stops, the actual running time was seventeen hours and twenty- seveu minutes, and the average rate of speed fifty-eight and three-quarters miles an hour. The most wonderful thing about this wonderful run i, that it was made without special preparation. Within an hour after the order for the train was given it had left Chicago far behind and was well on its way- toward the Rockies. J.

At the end of a few months the gayest grew chill; a stay of several years was fatal ; half a dozen seasons at Homburg were re- quired as a cure. - Roth is essentially a commercial city — one of the three largest harbors of the world. Its stag- nant canals are bordered by narrow, black, gabled houses. Its old society. narrowed by self admiration, had a co- hesion that gave it an extraordinary weight. Roth was Roth. Father and son, mother and daughter, bowed under a yoke of prejudices, and dullness pass- ed down from one to another with jeal- ous care. Vainly had the unlucky diplomats tried to infuse a little life into Roth. A charming fellow who had counted dizzy successes in Vienna and St. Petersburg suddenly found himself beyond the pale after a week's lively flirtation with Mrs. Councilor Spass. The young wom- an had waked np with a jump, and in the space of a few days had developed into a charming creature. But she had reckoned without her family and so- ciety. She had been surrounded, smoth- ered, annihilated, carried off to the country. The unfortunate admirer had seen gaping space widen about him whenever he entered the club; he en- countered funereal bows. A sadder and a wiser man, be shook the dust of Roth off his feet before he bad crystallized, and Mrs. • Councilor Spass found no words to express her regret! He left a disciple, the young Baron Johan von Tek, the son of a highly es- teemed deceased councilor. Von Tek vas emancipated, at least, for Roth. He did not pay t ,curt to society women, that beim impossible, i m oss bee since one never g p saw them except one day in the week under strictguard. to d. But he rodeEng- lish g lish horses, had an English coachman and a London tailor. He always wore a flower in�' his button hole gave stag, par- ties, and in the evening, behind closed doors, applauded with his friends pretty singers whom he enticed from the the- ater. Awesome things were told of him. He was looked upon as a fearful Don Juan, besides, he had announced the abominable intention of remaining a bachelor. He was censured and criti- cised, yet he had a certain prestige and was pointed cut, perhaps a little proud- ly, to strangers. He was rich, though his fortune was looked upon as middling compared to that of the Councilors Tann and Bnttel—they had millions. Tann was married and the father of a number of children corresponding to his position—a dozen. He was highly esteemed. His wife was red faced, the worse for wear, a fine housekeeper, and with a sharp ° tongne, an anthority in Roth. Councilor Bnttel was a harsh, austere, ugly widower, the dream of all the maidens—to live in his old house, to preside over his superb plate, to wear the nine rows of pearls of deceased Mrs. Bnttel, what a dream! Ale! he had a right to be hard to please! In this forlorn exile, a charming Frenchwoman, Mme. Jacques de Lan- gnet, the best, the gayest, the most hos- pitable woman in the world, repented —too late, alas!—that she had married a diplomat. She had started out with the bonne bouche, Washington, after which, hungry for Europe, M. de Lan- gnet had been promoted to Roth. She pined away with ennui. By lucky com- pensation she was very fond of her bus - band, and the two of them tried hard not to grow too dull. Yet the wife be- came aware that her "housekeeping" was gradnally taking on too great an importance in her eyes, and the hus- band that, for a man of his years, he was ridiculously fond of piquet. The Languets, people of tact, bad made an effort to conform, as far as in them lay, to the habits of their new milieu. They had made huge sacrifices to Roth's prejudices, but not enough, it seems, to prevent Mrs, Councilor Tann from apostrophizing an invisible confi- dent, asking if Mme. de Langnet bad any principles. She was not very cer- tain of them, for the miscreant Johan Tek often went to the Langnets'. He was given a warm welcome and relished the Parisian conversation in which he joined. An intimate friend of Mme. de Languet—a young and handsome wid- ow, evidently a dangerous person—was Often quoted. When in the narrow cir- cle some incredible enormity of Mrs. Council°, Tann was told, M. de Lan- gnet invariably exclaimed: "Wouldn't that delight your friend, Zozo?" Mme. de Languet always laughingly replied: im "Yes! Wouldn't they hit it off to- Zo gether?" fo And then they would show Tek, the bi miscreant, Zozo's photograph. She was 1n e be n ty. he The widow of .22, left with onl modest furtnne, did not conceal the that si,e intended sooner or later y a I tion smiled to ner from afar. T Pact wanted to encourage her to install h to i self in Roth. She replied with a sm unfolding, with a slow, caressing g ture, her great, gray marabon fan. T soft tips swept her white shoulder exquisite shoulders—emerging from smooth, pink bodice, encircled at waist—slimmer than nature—by broad ribbon. At table Councilor Bnttel was pla beside her. Vain and used to bein much of, he awaited an amiable gla from the elegant visitor. Seeing her radiant, he said to her in a patronizi tone, as if speaking of his property: "You seem to like Roth. madame. "Oh, not in the slightest!" answer Zozo, looking straight at him. He was so thunderstruck that found nothing to say but: "You are staying some time?" "Yes, I am staying for my frien sakes"—she looked at Jacques and Lo ise. "They need consolation. They a fearfully bored here." "Have they told you so?" "No; I've told them so, poor thing I am very sorry for them." Councilor Mattel could not belie his ears. He did not want to be pitie and protested: "Strangers perhaps are bored at Rot but when one bas one's property her —Mme. de Boisoran must have hen of his property. "Oh, yes, I've seen your big bons It's very gloomy. I prefer M. v Tek's small one. It seems be's qui comfortable in it. My friends and I a going to lunch with him one of the days." The councilor did not like to be r minded of Von Tek's existence.

Zozo discovered that he was not ea ing cal order to look at her, and as this discovery amused her vastly—she was prettier than nature—suddenly turning toward the councilor she said point blank: "By the way, you have a big park. Yon frust give us a garden party." Councilor Bnttel was aghast. "But 1 alp alone, madame — and to receive ladies"— "Well, then, we'll receive each other; you'll provide the orchestra. Ah, you all seen soun I asleep here!" "She certainly was not asleep, so the councilor said to himself, as he looked at her very closely, breathing the delicate perfume wafted from her fan. Every now and then she passed her white ern with- in an inch of his face, in order to reach the carafe, upon which, of course, he precipitated himself at the saute mo- ment. This Little maneuver glade Von Tek turn red and pale and highly di- verted Sainte-Menehould and Donloud. Zozo, feeling herself appreciated, re- doubled her coquetry, said the absurd- est things in spite of Lonise's discreet signals. Poor Louise wanted Zozo to make a magnificent match and was an- noyed to see her jeopardizing her pros- pects by her madcap ways. The coun- cilor seemed very grave, but if Lonise hal seen him more closely she would have discovered an abnormal dilaticnof his gray pnpils. On rising from the ta- ble, he started when he heard his host- ess say. in a low tone, to her friend, lay- ing a -ing her band on the dazzling shoulder "Well, my Zozo?" zou ?" The name swept across his face like a fresh spring breeze. "Zozo," he repeated to himself p me- chanically, "and so impertinent!" Under his heavy brows his eyes de- voured her, but so surreptitiously that the gallery saw nothing. "Eh bien !" Murmured the gentle- men of the lega-tion, flocking about Zozo, "which will you choose, the na- bob or the blond ?" "Ma foi! I like the blond- best ; the nabob is really too ugly." "He certainly isn't handsome." "You'll have to cut his heir too. You know I'm waiting my turn whenever you are ready. " Zozo replied with dignity: "Cher monsieur, you are not acquee." And she added in a heart- broken tone, "If you'll believe me, be wouldn't let me!" "What a brute!" The councilor wondered what the fun was about in the distant corner. He drew near, his coffee cup in his hand. Hardly had Zozo seen him when she announced: "M. le Conseiller intends giving us a garden party," and added, in hex sweetest voice, "M. von Tek, the coun- cilor will be glad of suggestions from you.' The next day Mrs. Councilor Tann was horrified to learn the impious plan. The visitor was really more to be dread- ed than she had supposed, and she be- gan to pray ardently for her departure. She had vainly pronounced herself with the utmost severity in Councilor But- tel's presence against the indelicacy of a man's giving a party. What an idea! The fete champetre took place and the lunch at Von Tek's as well. The hey ' old residence Bas been done over from er- garret to cellar. Amateur theatricals and a fancy dress ball have been given es- in it. The elite of society has hastened he to the festivities, though they are far 8— from being what it is accustomed to. her So today—race day—near the track in the the best position, an elegant victoria, a I harnessed en daumont, rivets every- body's eyes—Mrs. Councilor Tann's ced especially. In the victoria are seated ade Zozo, all in white, more bewitching ace than ever, and beside her, proud and 8° satisfied, her husband, Councilor But - ng tel.—From the French For the Argo- naut. marry a millionaire. She was a Russian, born and bred in France, yet retaining a touch of Tartar audacity that made her strangely attractive. She wrote con- tinually to Mme. de Langnet, often complaining of the hardness of the winter. The variety of her letter paper, of her crests—now immense, now mi- croscopic, sometimes a flamboyant crown, sometimes a mere familiar "Zozo" in Gothic script — suggested that it she were as extravagant in the other details of her life as in this it was no wonder that she was sometimes hard np. One day when Mme. de Langnet was grieving over her friend's pecuniary trials her husband spoke up: "Why shouldn't she nnearth a mil- lionaire here?" The luminous idea was rapturously received. "To be sure! There are two very good matches—M. Tek, who is civilized, and Bnttel, whose pockets are lined. Zozo mast hear of them 1" That very evening Mme. de Langnet wrote her. She went straight to the point. "Yon intend to get married. Yon haven't found what yon want so far. Come to me. I'll find you some one." Mme. de Boisoran—Zozo—answered by the next mail: "I'm willing to take a look. Expect me day after tomor- row. " When everything was settled, Mme. de Languet was a little alarmed at what she had done. She had some re- gard for her prestige at Roth, and in spite of herself Mrs. Councilor Tann's and Councilor Buttel's opinions carried weight with her. Perhaps Mme. de Boisoran was a little too dernier cri for this atmosphere. She decided not to spare her warnings. Besides, she took for granted that Zozo, clever woman as she was, would understand that to be a success at Roth, and, above all, to se- cure a Roth husband she must cast aside the ways that until now had brought admirers swarming abont her. Mine. de Langnet was overwhelmed at her friend's outfit. Fourteen months at Roth had given her an extreme visual sensitiveness. She was unable to conceal her tremors. "My dear Zozo, yonr toilets will scandalize the people here!" "How lucky!" "No good of thinking of getting married if yon dress like that !" Zozo did not argue the point. She kissed Louise and begged her to exhibit the natives as soon as possible. The as- pect of the country had awed her, and she asked Jacques de Languet seriously if the people were all stuffed. "I should judge so from the silence in the streets. Where do they walk? Nowhere? "They go to the botanic garden," Louise replied. "Let us go tool" The carriage was ordered and the ladies with Jacques and his colleague, Baron de Sainte-Menehould, got into it. Mme. de Languet was in mauve hat and gown, suede gloves and black sunshade— ae correct as possible. Mine. de Boisoran was a symphony in reseda, with an in- solent hat trimmed with wild roses, a pink veil over her nose and an "alto- gether" that made people sit up. She was in a snood of impish glee, having wagered withthe would baron that she u d meet her twosuitors to s an m her aka 1 er choice on the spot. Louise vainly tried to quiet her. "Buttel is immensely rich, but you will frighten hint; he'll never take a harebrainedcreatnre c eatnre like�uu. Yon y o mast adopt another tone or give up try- ing to please him"— "How about the other one—the smart one?" "Good looking, rather—a presentable husband." "Well! I must make up my mind." On reaching the botanic garden, Zozo gazed at the passing carriages. "Whom do those arks belong to?" "To the best people here." People surreptitiously turned around to see Mme. de Langnet's friend. Grave bows were made. Mrs. Councilor Tann condemned a young widow running all over the country like this. On general principles, with eight wise virgins to settle in life, she was down on widows —smuggled goods. Men, alas, are often taken by perishable attractions, to the neglect of solid virtues ready to devote themselves to their wellbeing! Hand- some M. Tek passed, correctness itself, on his English horse. His bow was of the good school. As he cast an admiring look at Zozo she smiled at him as if say- ing, "Yes, here I am I" The illustrious Councilor Bnttel was not to be seen, but ten days before he had thoughtfully been invited to dine. Of coarse this invitation did not coin- cide in the least with Zozo's arrival. In the meantime, to get her hand in, the charming widow had undertaken M. Tek's conquest. He called the even- ing after the bow in the botanic gar- den. Always welcomed by the Lan- guets, be was received more warmly than ever. He found everything topsy tnrvy. Zozo, with a huge pair of shears in her hands, insisted on cutting Jacques' hair in the latest Paris style, declaring that she trimmed her little nephew's locks and understood the art perfectly. The gentlemen guests begged Jacques to consent, then offered them- selves in his place; but she said no, and added: "I say, Louise, tell Jacques to be- have!" Jacques slipped away, and everybody broke into peals of laughter. When Von Tek entered, she laid down her big shears, saying: "Yon know, Jacques, I'll catch you yet1" This incident hada remarkable effect on the young baron. He fell head over heels in love on the spot. Two days later occurred the femme.; dinner. The enumeration of the vener- able councilor's possessions had put Zozo into the best of spirits. Sainte- Menehonld and Doulond declared he mast be intending to finish off poor M. Tek, who exhibited his devotion with a pre-Raphaelitelike simplicity. When the councilor appeared—dry, stiff, self portant—the hostess presented him to zo. He made a low bow and waited r advances to be made him. Not a t of it! Zczo bad acknowledged the trodnction by a slight droop of the ad; that was all. The observing lege- 111111111111111111111111111 ed It Lit.

One idea filled his head—austere old councilor that be was—to have the right to call her "Zozo1" Von Tek had the identical idea, but he expressed it with far more ardor. Mme. de Lanetnet followed her friend's maneuveres with growing ter- ror. She bad taken so much trouble to get to the Roth level! At the council- or's house Zozo had dared to smoke a cigarette before Mrs. Councilor Tann! No enormity could go beyond that.

The moat remarkable fishing in the world is that practiced in catching the sturgeon in the frozen rivers of the Ural mountains. Fishing on horseback seems impossible, yet this is literally true of the fishing for sturgeon. The Russian Cossacks go fishing in large bands. They mount their horses and ride across the frozen river until they are over the place where the cur- rent runs strongest. There they dis- mount and cut through the thick layer of ice until they have formed a little pool of open water, extending across the current almost from shore to shore. A net, which is sunk to the bottom cf the river, is stretched across the stream at the open space, so that not a fish can swim past it. The horses are re- mounted, and the Cossacks ride up the river fora distance of four or five miles. Here the band turns about and rides down over the thick ice covered stream, forming a long line across it. They urge their horses at full gallop. The thundering hoofs of the horses terrify the fish. and they charge Madly ahead of the approaching cavalcade. Great swarms of fish choke up the stream in the mad effort to escape the terrific noise that is pursuing them, and in this way they are driven down the stream to the net. A Thrilling Entertainment. Perhaps the most thrilling entertain- ment on record was one witnessed in the Romagna, which was as unexpected as it was unauthorized. It was the last day of the carnival, n a d the theater 3-ef Formlipopoli was packed with a crowd of spectators awaiting the rise of the curtain. After a long delay the curtain went np, only to disclose a stage occu- pied by 100 brigands facing the audi= ence with pointed rifles. The leader of the strange cast, Il Passatore, one of the most ruthless rob- bers of any age, bowed profoundly to the horror stricken audience and ex- plained that the theater was surrounded by his leen, that the first man who at- tempted to escape would be shot, and thatbe and his merry men would pro- ceed to collect any money and valuables they had with thein. The brigand and his men then de- scended from the stage and stripped the audience of their possessions to the val- ue of $400,000. He then thanked them all in a graceful speech and left the theater. It is comforting to know that he and 100 of his brigands were cap- tured shortly after and that they paid a heavy penalty for their evening's en- tertainment.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Blowing a Cgyk Into a Bottle. Ask some of the company if they can blow a small bit of cork which you have placed in the mouth of a bottle so that it will go into the body of the bottle. Lay the bottle on the table upon its side and place the bit of cork about an inch or less inside the open end. The uninitiated will blow until they get red in the face, and the cork will invariably come out of the bottle instead of going into it. There is a simple reason for it too. The direction of the air forced by the one blowing brings it against the bottom of the bottle. The air compresses within the bottle's walls and must find an outlet ; therefore it is turned and forc- ed out at the only vent the bottle has, necessarily blowing the cork with it. But take a common lemonade straw, place the end of it near the cork in the bottle neck, blow very gently—and the conk rolls in. Ordering Breakfast In India. Shortly after her arrival in India a young woman missionary was allowed to order breakfast for the household in girder to test her progress in the lan- guage. She intended to ask for fresh eggs, but used the wrong words, saying to the astonished cook, "Yon may bring us, this morning, an old blind man, nicely boiled!" - Face to Face.

Perhaps to many people it will be a great snrYz'ise to learn that a very con- siderable percentage of the native born inhabitants of the British isles cannot speak English. Naturally, the vast majority do nae it as the language of their birth, but in Wales there are as many as 508,036 persons who speak only Welsh, the mother tongue of the principality. Again, in the highlands of Scotland Gaelic is the colloquial language of 43,- 738 persons, who are able to speak nothing else. In Ireland 32,121 sons of Erin can speak only Erse, the native Irish tongue. That Erse is being displaced by the tongue of the sister isle is made evident by the fact that the Rev. Joseph Bos- worth, writing in 1848, gave Irish as the commonly spoken tongue of nearly 3,000,000 inhabitants, At that time Welsh was spoken by 1,000 ,000 per - eons. Strangely enough, while in Wales fewer people speak both English and Welsh than Welsh alone, in Scotland almost five times as many people use both languages as those who speak Gaelic only, and in Ireland the propor- tion is still greater, being 20 speaking both to one who is able to speak Irish only. Manx is spoken in the Isle of Man. The population of the island is 55,598. The people are of Celtic extraction, with an intermixture of Norwegian. The is- land was under the rule of Norway from 870 to 1263 A. D. Both Manx and English are used in the promulgation of any new law in the island. The Channel islands have a popula- tion of about 92,000, and the language spoken is French. Thus six languages are used in the British isles. TRICKS OF WRITERS. A Ruse by Which Kipling Piqued His headers' Curiosity. "When I first began to read Kip- ling," said a New Orleans admirer, "my curiosity was immensely piqued by the eeraps of verse with which be usually headed his early stories. They were all credited to poems I had never heard of in my life and were just such salient, striking fragments as would naturally whet one's appetite for the remainder. For over a year I tried hard to locate those mysterious poems and enlisted half a dczen book dealers in the search. At last one of them wrote me that I was wasting time and that the alleged quotations were merely Mr. Kipling's little joke. "In other words, he manufactured 'eni to order and stuck them at the top of his tales for the sake of tite odor of erudition they lent to the production. I was mad for awhile, but when I cooled off I had a good big laugh. Of course you know Scott need to do the same thing, and so, for that matter, did Edgar Allan Poe. Poe was really the worst quotation fakir of the lot. "He would write wise sounding de- tached sentences and credit them to imaginary German philosophers with long, outlandish and impressive names. However, I don't know why the thing should be punishable. The business of a writer of fiction is to create an il- lusion, and as long as he does it I for one am n ofP aril talar what means he employs to contribute to the end."— New Orleans Times -Democrat.

Aaron Bnrr at one time attended a church in Albany where all the aris- tocracy of the town was to be found on each Sunday. Soon he fell into the practice of being late, and finally the wardens of the church asked the min- ister to reprimand him openly. On the next Sunday. when Bnrr entered late as usual, the minister stopped in the middle of bis sermon and said, "Sir, I shall appear at the judgment seat against you!" Burr gazed at him placidly and an- swered, "Sir, in all of my practice I have found that class of criminals that turns state's evidence the most to be despised." There were no more public reprimands in that church. An All Around Calamity. A gentleman invited some friends to dinner, and as the colored servant en- tered the room he accidentally dropped a platter which held a turkey.

If we accept the broad fact that ex- ercise is good and that its effect is to increase muscular strength and bodily development, we have to ask, "Why does still fnrther exercise cease to be good, and what do we mean by overex- ercise?" First, we must draw a broad distinction between the effect of con- stantly maintained exertion which is required in certain trades and the al- ternating contraction and relaxation of all the muscles of the body, which is the characteristic of games and athletics of all kinds. That constantly maintained effort or monotonous repetition of the same movement tends to exhaustion rather than nutrition goes without say- ing. Brit, taking ordinary so (railed healthy exercise, by what is its limit set? The Nara appears to be set by three factors: (1) The capacity of the digestive organs to kpep tip the quality of the bloc1; (2) the capacity of the excretory organs to get rid of the waste products which result from muscular action, and (3) the power of the heart to drive a, constant stream of blood through every corner of the organism. Interference with digestion is a by no means uncommon effect of excessive ex- ercise, and so far as training is con- cerue4 it is one of the most destructive The b Qod cannot flow in full stream to every rart at once. AS Dr Lander DrnntMs says, "Every one knows that while moderate exercise tends to produce eppetite, a long and exkausting exer- tion tends to destroy the appetite and even to prodnce actual sickness, as one - finds in mountain climbing." People differ greatly in this respect, but in some—great, ponderous men as they may seem—the digestion is so easily upset by muscular exercise that, although they may be giants for a mo- mentary exertion, anything like sus- tained effort disturbs digestion and cuts et the very root of their nutrition. In many cases, however, the limit to exer- cise lies in diminished excretion. Un- less the excretory organs are thoroughly efficient the tissues become crowded with products which cannot be got rid of, the senses become dimmed, and ef- fort becomes a mere automatism, in consequence of a self poisoning by the protlucts of muscular waste. So far we have dealt with what may be fitly termed the automatic checks to overexercise. Interference with diges- tion so lowers nutrition, while accumu- lation of waste products so poisons the system, that in either case further exer- tion becomes impossible—the very will to make it passes away. But it is differ- ent in regard to the heart. The heart, although strained. may yet be driven pn to its own destruction. Every mus - cider effort not only demands from the heart lin increased flow of blood, but e -.also drives an increased quantity to- ward it So long as the heart can pass this forward all is well, but when it rails pot merely is the circulation of Pro blood rendered imperfect, but serious damage is done to the heart itself. If, when the heart was overdriven, it mere- ly struck, the enfeebled circulation would soon put a stop to further effort. The willing heart, however, taking at each beat a wider sweep and driving into the vessels a larger quantity of blood, so meets tbe call that the athlete can struggle on, perhaps to win his race. Rut tbe strained heart suffers, the stretched muscle does not quite come back, the dilated cavity does not quite close at each contraction, and permanent mischief is set up. Thus it is that exercise driven to the limit im- peeed by the heart is overexercise itt the most serious sense of the word. If it is the heart that stops it, the chances are tbat it has already gone too far.—Hos- pita Embryo Jockey. "The next scholar may tell me which is the most prominent race on the face of the globe?" said the teacher in geog- raphy. "The Derby, sir," replied the smart boy promptly.—Yonkers Statessaaan. The Dlacescery el, au Artist. In the Cathedral of Nantes, France, there is a inonnwent to Francis II of Bretagne and his wife Margaret which is considered one of the masterpieces of French sculpture. It is over 300 years old, and until twenty odd years ago no one knew to whom to ascribe it. Then by chance an old stone slab was discov- ered in the same cathedral bearing the following inscription "I, Michel Colomb, was a poor for- saken boy whose only home was the high road, where alone God and our Bretagne saints watched over me. I of- ten forgot to eat and drink while look- ing at the stonecutters who made the beautiful stone crosses for the holy place in the diocese of Leon, and I my- self carved small images with a wretch- ed knife, when worthy priests took compassion upon me, fed me and said to me: 'Work, thou little one, and look as much as thou pleasest at the carved belfry and at the beautiful work of the guild (sculptors). Look at all this, love the good God, the mild Saviour and the blessed Virgin Mary. Then thy name shall be honored in tbe diocese of Leon and in the beautiful Bretagne.' This I did for a long while that I might be- come a good workman, and then our Duchess Anna gave me an order to cut a monument to our gracious Duke Francis II and the Duchess Margaret." —Harper's Bazar. Theaters In New Zealand. A New Zealand correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes: "The first floor of their theaters is flat, supplied with plain, unpainted wooden benches, with open backs. The balcony, the fashionable place, contains only cheaply upholstered benches, and is badly ventilated. Early door tickets at 12'4 cents extra are sold, admitting the holder an hour before the regular doors open, that he may obtain first choice of the unpainted benches. Five minutes before the orchestra appears a big bell, suspended in the theater, is violently rung, making all but the dead jump. Then all knowing ones under- stand that order is wanted—the stranger probably thinks it a fire alarm bell. "Every Saturday night in all New Zealand towns the people crowd their leading street. They walk chiefly in the street in preference to the footpath. The girls, women, men and boys, young and old, promenade up and down the one street, meet friends and stand in groups in the street. An occasional cart, cab or tram, driven at breakneck speed in their midst, makes the people scatter for a moment, with many nar- row escapes. Vehicles, trams, cycles, etc.. turn to the left instead of to the right." Lambs For Spaniel' Children. Directly after Lent is obeervedet cus- tom that is particularly interesting to children. It is wl ,t may be termed the sale of the lambs, for on Monday morn- ing after Easter the shepherds have their lambs and goats on sale in all the cities. The animals are kept in tempo- ; rary pens, and it is the rule for parent to permit their children, of from 5 to 12 years of age, to purchase a pet Iamb or goat. After the animal is selected it is taken to the home residence and giv- en the freedom of the courtyard and quite often the greater part of the house. It is every child's ambition to train the pet so that it will at least fol- low its owner like a dog, and if a few simple tricks are added to the lamb's or kid's education the master or mistress is proud indeed. Girls especially de- light in tbese pet's, and often the ani- mals are so bedecked with bows and rib- bons as almost to hide their bodies. The sale of the Iambs is a very old custom, and is supposed to have originated through some form of the church.— Anglo-American Magazine. Equally Cutting.

They Float Around In n Careless Sort of Fashior. With an Occasional Queer Freak, One Being to Spin Around Like A Boaster Top. "I read about the floating islands off the mouth of the Mississippi the other day," said the veracious man from Honesdale, Pa. "That reminded me 1 that niy own little old county can boast , a few islands of the sort. What county ? Wayne, young man. You'll find it on 1 the maps due north of Pike county. You city chaps have an idea that all of northern Pennsylvania is Pike county in expansion, but you were never so much mistaken about anytbina in your eeeery is all very well in ite way, but its way runs to fish liars and rattlesnakes. Now, Wayne has none cf the latter, but of the former— well, talk about Pike county fishing! Young fellow, Pike county isn't a marker to Wayne when it comes to downright, honest, clean cut piscatorial sport. Pike may lie about it better, but when you come to sift the facts from the fiction before an investigating corer mission you'll find that Wayne catchek the biggest trout and the fightingest bass every time, and don't you forget it. "But I started to tell yon about the floating islands in the old county. Way back in the twenties the Delaware and Hudson Canal company gonged a channel in the face of the earth from Rondout to Honesdale and called it a canal. For reservoirs and feeders to this canal the level of ponds and lakes along the route was raised by means of dams from 12 to 20 feet. While the dams were in process of building the timber about the ponds was felled up to the artificial water line, and in many cases really valuable lumber was left to decay where it fell. These dead trunks formed, when the water rose to its newer level, the basis of these floating islands, which may be found in so many of the lakes of Wayne county. Intertwining branch- es and twigs of the trees themselves and large quantities of underbrush served to bind the logs together in something like a solid mass, thereby forming rafts of more or less buoyancy and size. In the course of time water weeds of va- rious kinds attached themselves to the raft, and eventually became a part of it. Gradually a light, thin mold ac- cumulated on the island, and in this mold birds planted seeds and grain, which, sprouting, growing and finally dying and rotting, did their part iu the making of the whole. .All of the larger islands bear from ore to a score of trees, many of which have attained a consid- erable growth. "You might suppose that to walk upon or to fish from cue of these islands would be a source of some danger, but, aside from an occasional wetting of the feet no accidents from this cause have ever occurred, so far as I have been able to learn. The sensation produced by walking on a floating island is very similar to that which you and I have both experienced when, as boys, we ran on thin, young ice, or thicker old and rotten ice. You remember how the ice used to bend under your weight as you ran across it, sometimes sinking nearly a foot and then with the next step ris- ing to meet you, possibly throwing you and perhaps giving you a ducking? Well, it's the same way with the float- ing islands, but with the element of danger eliminated. It has the same fas- cination. "Strange as it may seem, very few of these floating islands have become per- manently anchored to the bottom of the lakes. They are as nomadic and as un- settled in their habits as the Arab. They lack what we country people call stick-toetiveness. They are the con- trariest cusses that ever happened. Sometimes a mere breath of wind will send one of them scooting from one end of the lake to the other and again you couldn't budge that same island with a 100 ton, compound freight locomotive and a political pull. Once thoroughly domesticated, however, they make ex- cellent weather vanes, for they invaria- bly seek the lee shore of the lake. "I recall a peculiar thing that hap- pened years ago to the island in White Oak pond, near Aldenville, some eight or nine miles to the north and west of Honesdale. By the way, this particular island is the largest of the lot; so large, in fact, that the center rises fully ten feet above the water line. The farmer owning this island proposed erecting a summer house on the elevation, but was obliged to give it up owing to bis inability to lay a proper foundation withcut driving piles, and to do that would result in nailing the island to the bottom. "Well, as I was goiug to say, this is- land one day eloped with a southwest zephyr, which promptly deserted as soon as it bad got its consort into the middle of the lake. There it floated in a sultry summer sun, with no means of motion in itself and milking time ap- eroaching. Presently the edge of a M- lle breeze from the northwest struck the wanderer on the port quarter and things began to lcok a little brighter. Unfortunately for the island, however, at about the same moment that the first gust landed a wind of equal intensity came up from the southeast and its edge caught the island on the starboard bow. In less than a minute these two contrary winds bad that island spin- ning around like a top. You may be- lieve this or not, as you like. I can show yon the island any time that you'll come up to the old county.— Chicago Inter Ocean. touching his hat.

Nearly every one has had the bright idea that it must, be a tremendous amount of work to get rip a dictionary, but few have any notion of the real size of the task. When Johnson got his famous (lectionary started, he calculated that, with six assistants, he conld com- plete the task in three years. It took him nine years insteed. Be received the small recompense of e7,500, And had to pay his assistants out of that. Webster worked 24 year, lee ee his dictionary made its bow to the world. Webster was very punitilions in his definitions, and so painstaking that it was a wonder he completed 'the work when he del. The words which give the compiler of a dictionary the most trouble are the little one syllable Saxon worde. Their history extends back into the Saxon period, end their meaning has become twisted in many directioue. Words with pedigrees are the hardest to trace. When a new dictionary is projected, one man is selected as editor in chief, and he appoints his subeditors. Tben appeals are sent out to literary people in general for voluntary contributions in the nature of rare and curious words. There are over 1,000 people who have offered their services in the case of a dictionary now making. They are to read standard works, ancient and mod- ern, in the search for curious words, their origin and meaning. These words, written cn slips of paper, are filed in thousands of pigeonholes. Over six tons of clips Lave been put away. This means 6,000,000 words, but only 1,000,000 will bo printed. The amount of work necessary to propeees eurt these is evident. Testing a Diamond. "When in doubt as to the genuine- ness of a diamond." said a leading dealer in piecions stones to the writer recently, "there is only one really re- liable way by which the expert or the amateur judge can determine the qual- ity of the article and that is to test its hardness by holding it against a rapidly revolving grindstone frcm five to ten minutes. Then, if the least mark ap- pears upon the diamond, it is not a real stone, for if it were a diamond, so far from any mark being produced upon it, it would be likely, en the other hand, to make a deep impression on the grindstone. The same test may also be made with emery paper or on an emery wheel, neither ef which, although hard- er than a grindstone, will make any im- pression upon a genuine diamond. "This is a good thing for one to re- member in these days of manufactured diamonds. The paste article is now made with snch care that it sometimes tests tho skill of tLe' expert to distin- guish the genuine from the bogus, but if the grindstone is brought into play there can be no room for donbt. Some people think that if they rub a stone against glass and it makes a deep im- pression it is a diamond. Bat nearly all paste diamonds will scratch glass, and the imitations of sapphires, rubies and emeralds will do the same. "—Washing- ton Star. The Peculiar Danes. "The Danes," wrote Julian Ralph from Copenhagen, "are 'not satisfied with the alphabet. They have invented a twenty-seventh letter, which is an 0 with a mark run through it diagonal- ly from the north northwest to the south southeast, and this amazing letter comes in most of the words. They are so proud of it that they paint it, all by itself, in heroic size on the front of the second stories of the tram cars. I always used to think that when a British or Russian or Swedish prince came here to get a wife all be had to say was, 'Wjill yjou mjarry "But I didn't know a great deal of Danish then. In fact, I ouly knew the word 'tandstikker.' which means `ran- cid match'—at least I think so after using these matches all over the world. Since I have come here I've not only discovered the 0 with a skewer through it, but I find that the language is so im- possible that the Danes themselves have given it up. They spell Copenhagen Kjopenhaven,Kiobenhaven.Copenhague and Coepenbabn." Smoking Vampires. Henry Adams of Wichita, Kan., tells this story of the favorite amusement of Americans at the clubs in the City of Mexico. Frequently in the evenings the vam- pires. or blood sucking bats, fly into the open windows of the clubrooms. The Americans then close the doors and catch the bat by throwing a shawl over it. One of the men lights a cigarette, opens the bat's mouth and inserts the cigarette therein. The creature is then turned loose. Its soft month contract- ing closely, the cigarette is immediate- ly seized firmly. Every time the bat breathes it draws in the smoke and then exhales it. Thus, flying around the room, smoking the cigarette wildly and pnffing out clouds of smoke, it presents a strange appearance. The smoke generally kills the bat before the cigarette is all smoked up. A Current Will Turn Them Back. The board of health of Newport News, Va., is about to make a very novel use if electricity. With a view of prevent- ing patients from escaping from the lo- cal pesthonse, a barbed wire fence will be built completely around the grounds, and at each corner there will be a guard with a shotgun. To make escape doubly difficult the board has decided to have the wires of the fence charged with electricity, and if an inmate attempts to risk the sharp barbs on the wire he will receive a heavy shock that will banish all idea of escape from his mind. The current will not be strong enough to kill, but will serve its purpose. —Batton Herald. KALAMAZOO. Have yon heard the pretty legend, sad and mournful and yet true, Of the brave and dusky lover and the Indian maid Malmo? How they lived and loved and wandered on the river's shady shore, Happiest of Indian lovers in the days that are no more? all day long the maiden labored, weaving baskets by the stream, Thinking of her love, her Kahle, weaving him into her dream; Then he comes—she hears the rowing of his light birch bark canoe. ..Kahla!" calls she. Cries he, "Coming, com- ing to my own hializoo I" Ah. one night she waits in silence! Sad her face—her love is dead! Wounded in the chase, her warrior in a fort- night to be wed. In the morn they find sweet Mabzoo lying silent in the stream, Gone unto her lover Kahla, nevermore to watch and dream. Still the echoes o'er the river may be heard soft through the air — Echoes of the warrior Kahla and of young Mahzoo the fair. All the trees repeat the whisper, all the rip• pies murmur, too, Ln tho stream that bears their name now— bears the cline "Kalamazoo." —Milani, zoo Telegraph. THE FINGER TIPS. Their Remarkable Value In the Iden- tification of Criminals. In detective novels finger prints left by criminals, preferably in blood, play an important part, but truth seems stranger than fiction in the fact that the finger print system of identifying criminals in India has been made so perfect that it would enable any intelli- gent person in a few minutes to distin- gish the individual, if necessary, from all other persons now living in the world, or, if data were available, from all other persons who have lived since the creation of man. The system is simplicity itself, and there is none cf the elaboration of proc- essor the costly and delicate machinery required for the anthropometric system. All that is needed is a piece of tin, a sheet of paper and some printer's ink. The inked impressions of the ten digits are taken and filed in the proper com- partment of the proper pigeonhole, and it is on the classification of records and their distribution into the pigeonholes Omens, success of the system depends. Every finger mark shows lines of the "loop," or the "whorl" type, and by a simple table of the combinations of these types in the ten digits 1,024 main classes are made. These are again sub- divided according to minor details, and the subdivisions can be further divided at infinitum if necessary, but with the table before him any person of ordinary intelligence can place his finger on the corresponding card to a record in his hand within five minutes, no matter how many thousand cards there may be. It is calculated that the chances are about 64,000,000 to 1 against any two persons having single fingers identical, and the chances against all ten fingers being identical go beyond mathematics altogether. The Power of Shakespeare. An old Latin saying, Laudant quod non intelligent (They praise what they do not understand), was once illustrat- ed by an English tourist who happened into the Lutheran church at Elsinore one Sunday morning. The tourist did not know a word of the Danish lan- guage, but he wrote: "The clergyman had a quiet earnestness of manner and a persuasive eloquence that pleased and attracted. I admired the discourse, al- though I did not understand a word of it." The book from which we have copied this illustration of a common practice tells the following amusing story of a Dutch audience listening to one of Shakespeare's plays: I will tell you, such is de powers of de Shakespeare, that I vunce saw a play de great man acted in Anglish, in Hol- land, where der vas not vun person in all de house but myself could onder- stond it, yet dere vas not a person in all dat house but vat vas in tears—dat is, all crying, blowing de nose and veep very 'much; couldn't onderstond vun vurd of de play, yet all veeping. Such was de powers of de Shakespeare 1 What He Opened On. "Brothers and sisters," began the old parm)n, "I shall not choose any particu- lar text this morning, but shall preach from where I open the book, and, no matter where, I shall find the wrath that is to come upon the wicked, who will be cut off when they have shuffled off this mortal coil. It is now open, and' Here the parson was interrupted by a deacon who had been asleep, and hear- ing the words open, cut and shuffle, for- got himself and cried out, "It's yours; what did you open on?" The surprise of the good man in the pulpit was great, but the deacon col- lapsed when the reply came, "It is open- ed on Kings. "—Atlanta Constitution.

Never Trifle With a Skinny Woman if Her Face Shines. Do you know who is the most exas- perating woman in the world ? The wo- man you can't snub. She is two kinds —the meek and lowly sort, that when you smite her terns the other cheek un- til you're positively too tired to deal her another blow, and the one whose self importance is invulnerable as Achilles' heel. I met one of the last kind early in the winter. On general principles I would avoid this woutan, because she's skinny and her face shines. Something is all wrong abont a skinny woman; one way or another she's dangerous. When a skinny woman's face shines, it means she's above using powder and is sure tp make a parade, as a virtue, of the very wrong that is to account for the lack of flesh on her bones. I couldn't help the woman calling on me, and I returned her first call rather than run the risk of what she might do to me if I violated this fundamental principle of right social action as prescribed by ev- ery etiquette book fn tbe land. When she called a second time, the addressed me as "my good wontan." I can for- give almost anything but being called a good woman. Only a menial or medi- ocrity past 40 is properly termed a good woman. I resolved to snub this crea- ture, and I wanted her to know I was snubbing her. I wcnld never return her visit—never. And how do yon suppose she takes it ? Every time she sees me she apologizes to me for not having re- turned my visit—blots my intended neglect of her out of mind and patron- izes me with the assumption that it is she who is neglecting me. Mark the wisdom I have uttered. Never trifle with a skinny woman if her face shines.—Washington Star. AT THE BOOK BARGAIN SALE. The Kind of Intelligent Salesladies They Have In New York. Mr. B. Worm—Have you a cheap edition of "The Iliad?" Miss Jenkins (first saleslady, shift- ing gum)—Who by? Mr. Worm—Homer. Miss Jenkins—We got a cheap edi- tion of "Tho Idiot" by a man named Homer, Miss Smithers? Mr. Worm—Not "The Idiot" —"The Iliad"—Ill-ee-ad. Miss Jenkins — "The Illy Add." Queer name that. Don't think I ever heard of the hook. Sounds Roosian. 'Bout Roosia, is it? Mr. Worm --No, I think not; Greek mostly. Miss Jenkins—Oh 1 It's a Greek story, Lizzie. I think I've heard of it. Tells about the war they had between Greece and Japan. I h'lieve. Miss Smithers (second saleslady)— The name of the book yon want is "The Idiot." Yon want it in paper cover? Mr. Worm—No; I'm sure it's "The Iliad." Miss Smithers—Well, I think you've got it wrong. It might be "The Hail - yard." I've heard of something like that. Who do you say the book's by? Homer? Don't know his full name, do you ? Mr. Worm—No; that is. that's all there is of the name. Miss Smithers—Ob, I see—norme de ploom. I never heard of him. Must be some new man ain't got his reputation made. We don't keep none but the real poplar books. Miss Jenkins, s'pose you look through that pile in the corner.

The other day a man spoke in my presence about a certain real or fancied peculiarity of some animals which, he said, caused the eye to dilate when the animal was subject to sudden fright, thus transforming the pupil of the eye into a magnifying glass of high power. "Why," he said, "if a wildcat fright- ens a horse, his eyes enlarge so that the wildcat looks to him as big as a tiger." I have quit saying I don't believe a thing just because I never heard of it before, but, now, what (do yon think of this? I can imagine a man of the stone age telling this sort of tale to his offspring, the while their prehistoric little eyes grew wide with wonder and amaze, and then when they ran out of the cave to play I see him looking over at the old lady and smiling.—Forest and Stream.

"Hard luck!" groaned the fashion- ably dressed young man on the hotel divan, shifting his feet to the rungs of the chair opposite. "Hard luck—that's eey name." The young fellow at his side, in like attire, kept sympathetic silence. "Yes, if it hadn't been for my tough luck, I'd have all sorts of money," he went on, pulling his hat down over his eyes and sending a puff of cigarette smoke up against its brine "I was dead solid with a pretty little girl—cashier in one of the big hotels. She wanted to reform me, make a man out of me, she said. Twice I came in to see her when I wasn't steady on my feet, and she told me that if she ever learned of me getting too much again it would be all day between us. Well, one night I dropped into the hotel when I couldn't tell the floor front the ceiling. She hasn't spoken to me since." "Can't see anything so bad about that," commented the friend. "There are lots of others. "Yes, but"—the young man was shaking his head and his voice was sor- rowful—"but it was just the next week that an old uncle died and she came in for a cool $60,000." Again the young fellow at his side kept sympathetic silence.—Chicago Journal. Poison la the Blood of the ZeL It has been known for years that. the blood of eels contains a highly *eon - ens principle. A dog inoculated with a dozen drops of eel's blood dies in ten minutes. This discovery was made about ten years ago by two Italian brothers name Mosso. The poison is readily de- stroyed by heat and by mere lapse of time, wherein it differs from a snake poison, which long retains its virulence. Moreover, eel serum is harmless when taken with food, it invariably succumbs to the processes of digestion. If serum be taken from an animal that has been rendered immune to snake poison and injected under the skin of an eel, the poisonous property of the eel's blood is thereby impaired. Serum taken from an eel is naturally about three times as poisonous as the serum of the most vicious viper. Although diluted eel serum may pro- tect an animal from so deadly a poison as viper venom, the converse does not bold good; the serum of vipers is no protection against the poison of eels' aerum. Serum obtained from animals gradually trained up to withstand fatal doses of serpent venom differs from or- dinary serum in the astonishing rapidity of its action. Not only its protective, but also its undoubted curative power has been established.—Good Words. Hair Toothpicks. "Of all the curious articles of com- merce that you have ever mentioned in print I have never see fk one more strange than a 'line' I regnlarly send to China, to the Brazils and in very large quanti- ties to Russia." The speaker was a "foreign mer - chant," and he was addressing a con- tributor who has made a specialty of paragraphs dealing with out of the way occupations. "The articles I refer to are toothpicks that are made of walrus whiskers. Vast quantities of the stiff, thick whiskers of the walrus are ship- ped, from Alaska chiefly, to myself, and to some others in England. Those who send them pull them out one by one with special tweezers, and after the whiskers have been trimmed and stiff- ened bere they are made up into bun- dles and sent abroad. "The higher class Chinese seem to use no other kind of toothpick, and the more wealthy of the Russians always use them at their clubs and hotels. I send out some thousands of bundles yearly, and, though to the buyer they are much dearer, as well as more orna- mental, they leave plenty of profit to the dealer. "—Exchange.

William did not put it that way actly, for he hadn't much more edn tion than he had ambition. But t was what he meant when he would casionally announce to his fellow cle over the bowl of mush and milk t formed bis noonday meal at the "qu lunch"- counter, "What I can get good enough for me, and don't you get it." And his fellow clerks, mostly nna bitions men like himself, would gen ly reply, with laconic vagueness of sent, "That's what." William's lot in life was eufficien humble. He sold tin bathtubs in the po lighted basement of a big departm store six days in the week. His Sunda he spent in riding a secondhand bi cle, if it was fine, and reading the p torial papers or sewing refractory b tons and reluctant patches on his clot ing. when the weather precluded a idea of outdoor amusement. For William was a bachelor a looked askance at the fair sex as t lovely promoters of much of the d content he -so sternly deprecated and t gentle inciters of the reckless and wic ed extravagance whose existence in t world he so greatly deplored. So when he caught the flutter of skirt on any stray bicycle he chanced pass on a lonely road he would score sternly ahead and never once glan around to see if the fair traveler w riding for fun or to reduce her wai measure. From which it may be seen that French was very much of a philosophe alas, even philosophers are no exempt from the visitings of the tend passion, and it chanced one- day tha Cupid, for want of something better -t do, chose to visit the basement of tha • particular store and plant his dart dee in the heart Of the young man who sol tin bathtubs! It happened this way: A young woman came to fill a vacan cy in the graniteware department, nes to William's- own, and he, sa long in different and even callous to the charm of woman, no sooner saw the new cls busy over her saucepans and teakettl than he was smitten with a desire possess her for his own. Miss Thompson was not beautiful, t be sure, nor was she at all imposing appearance, that she should thus capti vate the heart of this severe critic a first sight. And she trotted about wit a brisk alertnessofmovement quite in compatible with grace and elegance o movement. But she suited William right dow to the ground. To begin with, she had soft eyes, no particular color perhaps, but some how when their gaze rested on William he felt that here, at last, was one who could appreciate his true valve almost as keenly as he did himself. Her brown hair, of a very ordinary shade, was parted very neatly over her smooth brow in a fashion extremely plain and unambitious compared with the impos- ing pompadours worn by the magnificent young ladies who sold ribbons and neck- ties at the counters up stairs and whose airs and graces made William so un- comfortable that he frequently went to a rival establishment to purchase the modest "made up" cravat which com- pleted his humble toilet. Moreover, Mise Thompson P a simple black alpaca gown, with its trimly belt- ed waist and spotless cuffs and collar, betrayed none of the wickedly extrava- gant ideas William had long considered the prevalent weakness of the sex. It wasn't very long before the two young people became very friendly. Stewpans and teakettles being more in demand than bathtubs, William was frequently called upon to assist Miss Thompson in her department, and this association with her afforded the young man moments of exquisite joy. At other times he would watch her, busy over her cooking utensils, and imagine how she would look in a little kitchen of her own manipulating sim- ilar implements in the preparation of his own supper. The thought was intoxicating. Here at last he had found a girl who would be willing to share his humble lot, he told hlmseli. A plain little thing like her would probably regard a tiny three room flat ouch as he had in mind as a very palace of luxury. He himself would seem to her a sort of special Providence through whose benevolent intervention she would realize all those dreams of home and husband most girls indulge in. This thought he found even more agreeable than the other, and he found himself assuming a protecting and even patronizing air with her at times. The enamored young man went so the man. and evil lot tbly ex- ca- bat oc- rks hat ick is for- m- eral- es- tly Orly ent ys cy- ic- ut- h- ny nd he is - he k- he a to h ce as st Mr. er. t t O t d t s rk es to 0 o t f n of far as to hint to the object of his affec- tion his hopes of having a modest home of his own one day, and while he could not recall afterward that sh6 had be- trayed any great interest in his plans he took comfort in thinking that girls are shy about showing their feelings and that probably it had not occurred to her that he would notine a little clerk in the graniteware department. $o William dreamed his dreams, anti even began to inquire around about the rent of flats such as he would be apt to require. Bnt he did not tell his love. There was no burry about that. He would wait till spring—when rents were cheaper. And, besides, she was probably not prepared to hear of the honor he pro- posed to pay her. She might faint or something. Girls were apt to do those things when you took them unawares, he bad heard. So the winter wore on, and William spent more and more of his time talk- ing to his fair neighbor, and fell more deeply in love at every interview. To be sure, he did most of the talk- ing. He often confided to her his views on extravagance and high living and took occasion to ridicule those who spent their money on good clothes and theater tickets instead of laying it up for a rainy day. And while Miss Thompson never said anything he could construe into an ad- mission that she thought he was right she always listened with grave atten- tion, and with her soft eyes fixed on him he remained blissfully certain that here was a woman who would thank- fully devote her life to helping him save his income and provide for his old age. At last the spring drew near. The flower counter in the main aisle began to glow with golden sunshine of dnf±r - dils and jonquils and odors of ,yacinth and Easter lilies were wafts:' down the stairway to the dim basement where the bathtubs and the teakettles bad their home. And then one day William had a shock. The crosseyed girl at the crock- ery department told him that Miss Thompson was going to leave. He could not believe it. But inquiry at the glassware department revealed the fact that the rumor had spread the day before and had been confirmed by the young. lady herself. William was astounded. She bad made up her mind to leave without telling him! What did it mean? be wondered. Then he bad an idea. Perhaps she had grown to care so much for him that seeing bins every day was painful. He had read of such things in novels. He resolved to tell her that very day of the plans be had made for her and ask her to become Mrs. William French. It was long, however, before his op- portunity came. It seemed to him that every fat wom- an in the city had decided to lay in a supply of graniteware that particular day. At last he encountered Miss Thomp- son behind a huge pile of coffeepots. "I—I—hear you're going away," he began, surprised to find himself feeling decidedly nervous. "Yes," she said pleasantly, as she made an entry in her little cashbook. I'm going tomorrow." "Well, I didn't know—that is, I ought—I hope, I mean, that I've not ad anything to do with your going," he went on, beginning to be appalled the miserable figure he was cutting. "You, Mr. French—how could yon— I -don't understand, I'm afraid," she replied, in evident bewilderment. "Oh, yon see—I thought maybe you'd been expecting, you know—that is, you might have known that I was going to ask you to marry me, yon know. I'd have asked you before— .a th h at only"— "Pray, don't apologize," she ex- claimed gnic'kly. "It'.s much better that yon didn't. A man with your ideas would be making a great mistake to marry. And, besides, I'm going to be married next week to Mr. Morgan, up at the silk counter. He commenced as a cashboy, and now he's head of the department. But, then, he was ambi- tious." William has seen her but once since then. They were having a big bargain sale of remnants up stairs, and at the noon hour he was struggling to make his way through the vast crowd of ladies which surged bout the counter, when a little woman in a rustling silk gown turned suddenly and faced him. It was she I e He passed her with only a formal and hurried bow, but he had time to ob- serve, with pain, that she wore her hair in a pompadour.—Edgar Tepnple Field in Chicago Times -Herald. A Plunge In the Dark. A remarkable accident befell an Eng- lish cyclist. He had been a few miles into the country to see some friends, and was riding home along a lane about 10 o'clock. m. when he en P suddenly re- ceived a sharp blow on the chest and was lifted completely out of the saddle and thrown with considerable violence to the ground, where he lay for some minutes partly stunned. On recovering his senses the cyclist looked around to try to find the cause of his extraordinary spill. It did not want a lot of finding, for it was very apparent in the shape of a stout rope which was stretched across the road. The rope, it appeared, was fastened at one end to a gypsy wagon standing by the side of the hedge, and to a horse at the other. In search of fresh herbage the animal had strayed across the road, and, startled, no doubt, by the sudden appearance of the bicycle light, had thrown up its head, drawing the cord taut at a height of five feet or so from the ground. In the darkness it was imperceptible, and, catching the cyclist breast high, it flung him from his machine with scant cour- tesy. Effective Reflecting. "It is so sudden!" exclaimed the fair haired girl, who had just received a proposal to merge her identity in that of a would be protector. "You must give me time to reflect." "No, no," retorted the diplomatic young man. "One whose dazzling beauty makes a mirror ashamed of itself should never go into the reflect- ing business. Let this solitaire diamond do the reflecting." And the records of the license clerk show that it was even so.—Chicago News. The habit of reading at the dining table is strongly condemned by L'Hy- giene Moderne, though it thinks looking over the paper at breakfast is compara- tively harmless. A RACE FOR LIFE.

The author of "Twenty-five Years in British Guiana" says that he was once camping out with companions there, and that some of them had not his ac- quaintance with the woods: At last we turned into our hammocks, and I was dropping off to sleep, when I was roused by the most infernal bark- ing and roaring. Attracted by our fire and singing, a troop of howling ba- boons bad come over the trees and were making night hideous by their yells. Shielde, who was not acquainted with the brutes, shook my hammock violent- ly and whispered: "What on earth is that?" Not very well knowing what I was saying, I replied, "Tigers." "Are they very near?" "Very," said I, and, taking advan- tage of a lull in the chorus, I dropped asleep! Poor Shields lay awake half the night, expecting to be devoured by wild beasts. He was sleepy and cross in the morn- ing, and Bridges asked him if he had heard the baboons. "Oh, those were baboons, were they? What an awful noise they make! But what were they Baying?" "I don't know," said Bridges un- sympathetically. "I don't belong to the same species." When Love Wan Bunkered. "Ah," she eaid, etrnlring his enft curls and looking regretfully into his upturned face—he was kneeling beside her—"you will not think me cruel, will you? You will be brave and try to for- get me, won't you? You do not know how sorry I am to be compelled to say `no' to yon. Under other circumstances we might have been happy together, but as it is I mast be frank with you. There is no hope." His whole frame was shaken by a great sob. Then he looked appealingly into her fawnlike eyes and asked: "Why is it, Virginia, that you are so sure we cannot be happy together? Why may I not hope ?" "There is an impassable barrier be- tween ns," she replied. "You are the champion golf player of this state, and my mother is president of the Society For the Suppression of Dialect ; so there yon are.

Do You Dreamt The fullest examination into the na- ture and origin of dreams has been made by M. Moreau, the French scien- tist. He divides dreams into the dreams of health and the dreams that are the result of a diseased state of mind or body. With regard to the latter It need only be remarked that persistent dreaming is one of the most invariable symptoms of insanity, and as it is a psychological fact that genius is near allied to mad- ness men of genius must be expected to dream more than ordinary men. With regard to the dreams of health, they are the result of an imperfect state of conscionsness or an imperfect state of sleep, according as we look at it. It is obviousthat the mind of the clever man, that is constantly occupied with many schemes and thoughts, is more liable to be awake when his body is asleep than that of the dnllard, whose mind is often asleep when his body is awake. Thus the sleep of the plowboy has become proverbial on account of its un- disturbed nature. In most cases a man of lively imagination and qnick brains is undoubtedly more liable to dream than the dullard. Part of a Murder Story. The rising sun had scarcely kissed the snow capped hills that surround our peaceful city last Saturday morning when an awful tragedy occurred 011 one of the most public thoroughfares. The whiplike crack of a rifle sounded on the clear morning air, and a leaden messen- ger of death crashed through the brain of a human being, summoning his soul to the judgment bar of God without a moment's warning and with all his sins fall blown and "ripened on the tree." The fatal bnllet had been sent upon its deadly mission by a band that a few hours before clasped hitt victim's hand in friendship. One now lies in the cold embrace of death and occupies a mound in the silent city on the hill; the other languishes in the county jail, alone with his conscience and his deed as be awaits the outcome of the trial for mur- der that must enrely follow.—Lonacon- ing (Md.) Star. The Queen Kept the Letter. The late Mrs. Keeley used to tell the following story about the visit she paid to the queen at Buckingham palace on the occasion of the jubilee in 1887. Be- ing incredulous of the genuineness of the invitation, she was disposed to treat the royal command as a joke and wrote a rather sarcastic letter to the official, a -personal friend, who had ad- dressed it to her. This he gave to the queen. and the veteran actress was a tittle disconcerted when her majesty told her she bad read the letter. Mrs. Keeley begged that .it should be restored to her. "No, no, Mrs. Keeley," answer- ed the queen, "it is safely pasted in my autograph book. You'll never get it again. " She Married the Hat. A European government servant was recently married to a native woman in Semarang by the Mohammedan cere- mony. It took place in the mesjid, and it was conducted by the penghnlu, but the bridegroom was not present. He had given written notice that he would not put in an appearance, but he sent his hat, and that was, according to na- tive custom, quite sufficient. She mar- ried the hat. He gavels sten 'rape. The late Senator Morrill of Vermont, was as careful of the public property as if he bought and paid for it out of his private purse. He always carefully un- tied and saved the piece of red tape that came around his mail, in consequence of which his room was the only com- mittee roam that never made a requisi- tion for tape.

If most people were not able to bide their perscttal eccentricities," said a popular physician, "we'd think the whole world was going crazy. A doctor in general practice is coutinnally con- sulted 'about the strangest things. I was consulted recently by a business man who feared he was becoming in- sane because he felt an irresistible im- pulse, whenever he spoke, to touch his lips with his right forefinger. I laughed him out of his panic and loaned him a book in which a thousand analogous cases are cited. It was nothing alarm- ing -simply a morbid kink in a hard worked brain. The only danger was in brooding and thus paving the way to something worse. "I know scores of people who have equally curious idiosyncraeies. One is a lady who invariably toncheii the walls of houses when she passes corners; an- other lady always starts across the street with her left foot first, and still another never fails to tap the knob of her front door five times before she turns it. "I know these things sound like the vagaries of a disordered mind, but no well posted specialist would regard them as serious. Their origin and develop- ment are a deeply interesting psycholog- ical study and entirely too complex to explain to the general public, but I mean that they are not neceelisarily man- ifestations of insanity as the word is or- dinarily understood. They are merely eccentricities, and, as I said before, thousands of people possess them in se- cret." -New Orleans Times -Democrat. A Lowly Start. • A tramp called at the kitchen door of a St. Joseph residence a few days ago. He was ragged, cold and hungry, and his feet were wrapped in rags. When the hired girl opened the door in answer to his knock, she scowled. She did not like tramps. "If you please, miss," said the tramp, taking off his old, battered cap and making a bow that bad the sem- blance of politeness about it, "can you give ine a few old,' soggy biscuits?" The request was so unusual that the hired girl called her mistress, who hap- pened to be in the kitchen at the time. The tramp repeated the request to her. "Why, what do you want with old biscuits?" she asked. "Wouldn't you rather have something good to eat ?" "No, ma'am," the tramp replied. "1 want soggy biscuits -all I can get of 'en). It is a well known fact that they produce dyspepsia and that dyspepsia brings on nervousness. Anybody knows that nervous people are ambitious, and that an ambitious man generally gets rich. It's wealth I'm after, and I'm starting at the foot of the ladder to get it. "-St. Joseph News. One Day In India. Everyday life for the English woman in Calcutta is said to pass about as fol- lows About 7 o'clock in the morning conies the light bread and butter break- fast, followed by a drive or a ride. When she returns, she makes one of the changes of dress with which the Anglo- Indian day is punctured, then has a vr.mil breakfast at 10. After this comes a long morning of industrious idling be- fore 2 o'clock, the hour for tiffin. Calls :ire made between 12 o'clock and 2, for after tiffin Calcutta goes to sleep. Four o'cicck tea is the signal for them to be up again and dress for the afternoon drive. At 8 everybody dines, and then follow cards, dancing, billiards or the theater. A Brute.

Dead Men's Danes. The most grewsome apartment in America is probably the demonstrator's room in the Flower hospital in New York, with its fantastic decorations of dead men's bones. The naine of the room is spelled above the door in letters made of linger bones. Upon the wall within appear in the same grewsome lettering the names of Dr. Howard S. Neilson and Dr. North- sspy Meyer, demonstrators. Besides these legends sits a grinning human skull. Crossing and recrossing the room strings of bones interlace. Ribs alter- nate with the slender bones of fingers and toes. Up and down the walls, like ghastly white serpents, crawl coils of vertebra,. Arm and leg bones with highly polished surfaces are hung on the cupboard doors. Everywhere the eye turns in this carious charnel house symbols of mor- tality start into relief. Butt is on the large table against the soma wall that death veritably sits enthroned. In the middle, heaped into a roound, bones from all parts of the human frame are snrmonnted by a skull. Here a hand, there a crippled foot, a cranium hol- lowed into a drinking cup -oddities of all grisly shapes surround the motind. In a chair to the right sits a skeleton in leisurely attitude, leaning one arm npon the table as he watches the skele- tons over which the sunlight dances.. The Sacking of the Tuileries, The sight that presented itself was the strangest I ,have ever seen and has remained.m my memory almost as viv- idly as if it were yesterday. The mag- nificent apartments of the palace were soon filled with as strange a set of ruf- fians as yon could meet anywhere. It seemed as if they were all mad or drunk, and yet they were as jolly as sandboys. They seemed positively to revel in destruction and to yell with delight as they smashed and tore every- thing to pieces that they came across. There was scarcely a picture that was not cut into ribbons, and ornaments, however costly, were thrown down and broken to atoms. While 1 was standing in one of the grand apartments, looking on in won- der, a little man, with a sword almost as big as himself, stood in front of a magnificent mirror that reached from the floor to the ceiling. He surveyed it for a moment, and then, as though he were about to storm a town single handed, went deliberately up to it and with one blow of his great cavalry blade shivered it to pieces. As they fell at his feet he put on a grand air and said "La!" as if this was one of the greatest deeds he had ever accomplished and the proudest moment of his life. -"Sketches From Mrnory," G. A.

A short eighted and deaf old gentle- man who was at an entertainment where a professor performed On a big bass viol, thus described the scene: "The professor carried on to the plat- form a gigantic beetle attached to the end of a sort of lamppost He leaned over and fondly embraced it, tickling its back violently with a long comb. "The spectators seemed much de- lighted at this display of scientific af- fection. The beetle was apparently quite unmoved; Then the professor gave a capital imitation of the drunken man and the lamppost. He swayed rapidly up and down, clutching qnickly at all Points. "Sometimes his fingers quivered pas- sionately npon one spot, like an ill tem- pered man struggling with an obstinate pair of braces. Sometimes he rested momentarily, as one rests after a con- test with a stiff white tie. "Finally, he gave a last convulsive tickle to the huge beetle, picked himself up from the lamppost and carried off the unresisting insect. The audience applauded vigorously." Mexico has an area of 751,000 equare miles or nearly one-fourth that of the United States. [Official.] County Board Proceedings. (ADJOURNED MEETING.)

A modern scientist assures us that men of real genius are always piond, and he gives the following examples as proofs of the truth of this statement. When Mirabean was dying, be saidto his servant, "Prop up my head care- fully, for it is the most remarkable head in all France." Michael Angelo wrote, in 1542: "All the differences between me and Pope Julius arose from the fact that Raphael and Bramante were jealous of me and tried to overthrow me. Yet everything that Raphael knows about art he learn- ed from Inc." Roosini addressed some of his letters to his mother as follows: "To Mrs. Ros- sini, the mother of the distinguished master." Finally, Schopenhaner, when he was asked where he would like to be buried, replied, "The place does not matter, as posterity will know well enough where to find me." These are certainly striking examples in some respects. but it would not be .difficult to find others quite as striking of real men of genius who were noted for their.modesty. They Knew. Two men were standing outside a jeweler's window admiring the gorgeous display of glittering gems that lay be- fore them. Presently one of them, pointing to an object in a red plush tray, said: "Just look at that scarfpin represent- ing a fly. Any one can tell that's not real." "Well, I should think so," answered his friend. "Whoever saw a common fly with such a bright appearance? Why, it makes me weary when I think that the jeweler who produced that fondly hoped that some one would pur- chase it to deceive his friends. If I saw that on a man's scarf, I could tell di- rectly that it was enameled imitation." At that moment the object of their condemnation moved across the tray, flew in the air and vanished. The two men looked at each other, gasped and moved away without a word. How Bock Beer Got Its Name. Muireilian of Bavaria, the first elec- tor, &melted an English plysician re- garding his consort's sickness, who pre- scribed for her some "Buckingham Double (strong) Beer." After importing some several times at great expense, Maximilian decided to send his cciurt brewer to Buckingham to become fa-• miller with the production and manipu- lation of said unexcelled brew. Upon the brewer's return to Munich the Buck- ingham beer (then abbreviated in name to Buck, later Bock, beer) was hence- forth brewed there and was for the first time served at the electoral family's table on Maximilian's day, Oct. 12, 1628. At first only used as a medicinal po- tion, it soon became generally intro dnced as a pure food and was ordered to be brewed hereafter two weeks before the two weeks after Corpus Christi day. Why She Was Black. In describing her visit to one of the mission schools of Africa Mies Kingsley tells of a negro girl of 12 to whom she addressed the question, "What are you studying?" fi• "Eberyt'ing," replied the child. "What do you know?" asked the young woman. "Eberyt'ing," was the answer. "Yon are the very person I've been looking for," said Miss Kingsley. "Now, tell me why yon are black." "Certainly. I'm black because my pa's pa's pa saw Noah without hia clothes on." A bucket 748 miles deep anc1.748 miles from side to side would hold every drop of- the ocean. The bucket eons rest quite firmly on the British isles. To fill the bucket one would need to work 10,000 steam pumps, each sucking up 1,000 tone °Lees. "Come Here, Sir." ft was during evening "prep." Jones minor was always getting into mischief. and the master had his eye on him in consequence. "Jones niinor. you're talking." said he suddenly. j'Yes, sir," replied Jones, meekly. '"What were you saying?" Pause. "Well, I'm waiting. What was it yon said?" "Come here and I'll tell you, sir." answered Jones. We stared aghast at our companion, and wondered what would happen next. The master looked as if he had not heard right. "What did yon say?" he said, slow- ly. "Come here and I'll tell you, sir," ventured Jones again. • We were on the tiptoe of expectation. Such daring as this was unparalleled, even for Jones. The master rose from his chair. His anger was terrible to see "Leave the room!" he thundered, strid- ing toward the trembling culprit. "Why, sir ?" faltered Jones. "Why, sirV' sputtered the irate peda, gogne. "When I ask yon what yon were talking about ycn ask me to come to you and you'll tell me! Why, in. deed!" "Yes, sir. But that's really what 1 tiid " the Ikry "Tifolibs alfk- - ed me what the exercise was, and I said, 'Come horo ansi I'll tell you.'" Then the hand played. -Buffalo News. Man and His Tongue. Glossomancie is the science of reading the character by the form and size of the tongue. The guiding principles are as follows: If the tongue is long, it is an indication of frankness; if it is short, of dissimulation; if it is broad; of ex- pansiveness; if narrow, of concentra- tion. When the tongue is both long and large, it implies that the possessor is a great gossip, frank to disagreeables and thoughtless. 11 the tongue be long and narrow, its owner is only half frank, thinking an I much as is uttered, but not always ut- tering all that is thought. If the tongue be short and broad, there is promise of plenty of gossip -and falsehoods; it talks a great deal, but says little of what is really thought. If short and narrow, it indicates deep cunning and lying; impenetrability and great pru- dence. This tongue belongs to those per- sons always ready to make mistakes, but eager to inspire confidelice. So, then, not the physician alone is to be guided by the tongue, but before you become intimate with any one ask him or her to put out bis or her tongue that you may be certain whether they are to be trusted or not. Monater of Learning. The famous Cardinal Mezzofanti knew an amazing number cf languages and dialects. Perhaps he is best known to the modern English reader from the eulogy to be found in one of Byron's memoranda, published by Moore. "Your literary everyday man and I," says Byron, "never went well in com- pany, especially your foreigner, whom I never could abide. I don't remember a man among them whom I ever wished to see twice, except perhaps Mezzo- fanti, who is a monster of learning, the Briarens of parts of speech, a walk- ing polyglot, anti, more, who ought to have existed at the time of the tower of Babel as universal interpreter. He is indeed a marvel -unassuming also. I vied him in all the tongues of which I knew a single oath (or adjuration to the gods against postboys, savages, Tartars, boatmen, stilors, pilots, gon- doliers, 1, ' 'teers, camel drivers, vet- tarini, postmasters, posthorses, post - houses, post everything), and, egad, he astounded me -even to my English." The Child Who Hates to Practice. Many parents think that because their child hates to practice and has to be nagged continually he may as well stop taking lessons. In nine cases out of ten, the child, when grown up, will blame his parents for not making him con- tinue his lessons. Oftentimes the pupil is fond of music and would practice much better if his mother would only take more interest in his work. The mother of one of my pupils told him - so I afterward heard -that taking les- sons was his own idea, and be couk tend to his own practicing. She she wasn't going to bother with him. When the mother feels that way, it is exceedingly hard for the teacher, as of course the child thinks he can leave his practice for anything he chooses, and bad lessons result. -Etude. d at - said • „„ aliniiir•wwwwwisse,s 1 11 *la • ---..•••••-•••""It THE GAZEATE.

Why, we're safe, of course! We've got to the other wall. It's a coach today, and we spin along With you on the box with me. The air is fine and the horses strong, And plenty of things we'll see. How the horses dance! They're full of tun! But, whoa! I fear they're going to run And they can't be held! Oh, how they tear! r"""f-- Now each is worst of the four! Just sec that hill that's before us there! Ah, saved by the cupboard door! And what shall it bo tonight, dear heart? A train with its rumbling sound? Now off it moves with a quieter start) It's a drowsy train we've found! Just hear its cliokety-clicking song As it takes us two on the way along!

He had no good reason to donbt that his love was re- turned, yet so fearful was be that he bad misread her feelings, so much did be dread her refusal of his suit, that he had never hinted that she was more to him than any of the girls he met at the church sociables and card parties in Newington. Innumerable chances for a declaration of love had offered them- selves, for he was a regular caller at the Farr�ton mansion, but this youth was as devoid of spunk as a bare and was no nearer the goal of his desires to- day than he had been when Cupid first aimed his dart at him. So matters stood when a snowfall that brought sleighing in its wake vis- ited Newington, and Littlewood be- came conscious of the fact that he had actually asked Miss Farrington to take a ride with him. Of course he must perforce bring natters to a crisis now. He was afraid that Judge Farrington would be asking his intentions, and It would be humiliating to have such a question come before be could refer him to the girl for an answer. No; beyond a doubt he must pluck up enough cour- age to ask her to be his wife or else cease calling upon her, an alternative that was hideous enough to chill his heart. The evening was soon at band. A crescent moon shone in the east and the stars were cold and scintillating. He walked to the livery stable and asked for the cutter, and a few minutes later he was driving a'handsome chestnut to the house where -bis thought spent most of the time. Miss Farrington kept him waiting a good half hour, but he re- flected that it was the privilege of her glorious sex, and it only made him love her the more. If she had come out and placed her dainty foot upon his neck he would have been overcome with rap- ture. In fact, in his present state, which had also been bis state for 24 months, Littlewood was not many re- moves from a calf. It was cold waiting, so he got out and hitched his horse and paced in front of ber house, her faithful sentinel until death'—if need be. Not that there was any reason to think that his services would bo required, but it pleased his self love to imagine himself dying for this lovely being of whom his tongue stood in each awe that it could scarce loose itself in her presence. At last she appears. The restive horse slants bis ears at her and paws the ground in admiration of her beauty, for Mildred was as pretty as regular features, a fair skin and melting eyes could make her. Littlewood handed her into the sleigh, stepped in himself, tucked in the robes and chirruped to the horse. That intel- ligent animal did not move. A flush of mortification overspread the face of the would be amorous swain. A balky horse, and at the start! What chance would be have to deliver his precious message that was to make two hearts happy ? He clieked again to the horse, but again the horse continued to stand still. "Yon might unhitch him, Mr. Phil- lipa That would help," said Mildred in her sweet voice. "Oh, yes—t-to be sure! I must have tied him. I mean I—er—I di—I think I did hitch—er"— "There seems to have been a hitch somewhere," she answered. He stepped out of the sleigh and looked over his shoulder at her in a startled way. Could she mean any- thing? Was this encouragement? Oh, no! It was too soon. (Too soon, and he had been in love two years!) He un- hitched the horse and once more placed himself beside his loved one. The frosty night seemed to have set a seal upon her lips, for as they sped over the crunching snow and left the town behind them she was silent. "I must have offended her. I've prob- ably made a break of some kind," said Littlewood to himself. "How unfortu- nate! But I must tell her tonight. It is now or Bever. This attention is too marked to pass as a mere courtesy of the winter season. She knows I never took anybody but my mother sleigh rid- ing before." Then. began a process of nerving him- self to the avowaL He ground his knees together until the bones ached. His breathing was feverish. "Mum — Mildewed — I mean Mil- dred." And then he stopped. He had never called her Mildred before. He had never called her Mildewed, either, but that was accidental, and he hoped that the bad not noticed the slip. She Helped Him. "I have somethingof the greatest importance to say to you." Did be imagine it or did she nestle closer to him? He mnst have been mis- taken, and to show that he was quite sore he edged away from her as much as the somewhat narrow confines of the sleigh would allow. "What do you wish to say, Mr. Phil- ligs ?" ••mister" Phillips. Ah, then she w offended. To be sure she had alwa called him that, but after his last r mark it must have an added signs cance. "I—er—do you like sleigh riding ?' "Why, of course, or else I would have come." Did she mean that as a slap at him Was it only for the ride and not for h company that she had come? Oh, could never make an avowal of lo after that! He knew his place. Th beautiful girl was not for a faint hear ed caitiff like himself. "Nan—nun—no, to be sure not. I er—thought that was why you came. Mildred turned her gazellelike ey upon him. "I'in afraid I don't unde stand you." That settled it. If she didn't unde stand him when he talked of nothin in particular, he most be very blind i his utterance, and he could never tru his tongue to carry such a heavy freigh as a declaration of love. No, there w nothing to do but postpone it. Afte all, her house was the best place for i The horse sped on past mantle meadows and through pine woods fu of filtered moonlight, and Mildre in the beauty of the scenes an wished that it were decorous for wom en to propose. The night was ravishing, the sleigh bells jingled harmoniously, the horn � t3 swept on with steady, rhythmic stride and under the influence of sweet sur soundings Mildred at last said pointed ly, "Is it so that more people get en gaged in winter than in summer?" Sh blushed as she spoke. It was nnmaiden ly, but he was such a dear gump. he would declare himself. But she di not know the capabilities for self re pression of her two year admirer. He said to himself: "What a slip what a delightful slip! If I were nn principled, I would take advantage it and propose, but I would bitterly re proach myself forever, whatever her an ewer was." So be said, in as matter o fact tone as he could master, when hi heart was beating his ribs like a fright ened cageling, ""I really can't answe but I'll look it up for yon." "Do. Write a letter to the newspa per " Her tones were as musical as ever, but Littlewood thought he detected a sarcastic ring in them, and he thanked his stars that he had not yielded to his natural desire to propose at such an inanspicious time. "What was that important thing yon wanted to say f" asked Miss Far- rington after several minutes of si- lence, save for the hoofs and the run- ners and the bells. "Oh, it wasn't of any importance! I mean it will keep—I—er--I was think- ing of something else." "I think you have gone far enough," said ehe innocently, looking over her shoulder in the direction of home.

Oh, why had he come out with this lovely being, the mere sight of whom was enough to make any one cast all re- straint to the winds and declare in thunderous tones that he loved her? "I think that we'd better go back," he said, and turned so qnickly that he nearly upset the sleigh. "Your mother will be anxious."

"When men and women find them- selves dreaming of their work, it's a pretty safe sign that they are ran town," explained a well known physi- cian to a reporter, "and they should begin to build up; otherwise serious consequences are likely to follow. The ordinary worker cannot stand it long if be or she has to work during her sleep- ing as well as her waking hours, for it is a clear case of burning the candle at both ends. "The treatment I usually advise is a change of work and of food and a gen- eral building up by the use of tonics, being particular to avoid the use of sitmnlants or excitants in any form. A few days' recreation is also absolute- ly necessary, and a change of air is very beneficial in restoring things to a normal condition. People, as a rule, seldom dream of their work unless they are out of shape physically, and the moment they find that they are going through the forms of their work in their dreams it is the plainest kind of a sign that they are more tired out than they should be to have perfect health." —Washington Star.

No Poste/bed Eggs For Her, There is an old lady in a charming out of the way village whose opinions of "artist chaps" and "Lannon ways" are amusing. On one occasion a wandering knight of the brush secured a night's lodging at her cottage. Early next morning he was asked what he would like for breakfast. "Oh," was the reply, "a couple of eggs wi1; do—poached, mind you." "Beg pardon, sir"— "I said a couple of eggs, poached,' repeated the artist in a louder tone. The old lady stiffened her back, opened the door and pointed out into the road. "Clear out o' my house!" she com- manded. "I'd have you know as I re- spects my neighbor's property, and I ain't no poacher. Sieh goings on may do in Lannon, but they won't do to Loanishiro. " The artist endeavored to explain, but the lady world nct listen, and he did not break his fast in that house. "Painters was allus a bad lot," were the last words he heard before she shut the door behind hiiu, "but gettin hon- est fowk to poach eggs for 'em's quite n new dodge. "—London Telegraph. Improved the Opportunity. Peter Foote, long since dead, used to be a police magistrate istrate i n Chicago. Foote was intensely Irish aild loved to show it. One day a dudishly attired young fel- low calling himself Frederick Edwards, and plainly betokening by his speech that he hadn't been long from the shores of England, was arraigned before the justice charged with lounging about the parks. When he was arrested, he showed fight and had to be dragged to the patrol box. " 'E 'nrted me feelin's badly, ycnr worship," said the prisoner when in the dock the following morning. "'E 'it me on the solo of me fute an"— "I don't think you've any feelings in your soul," growled the sympathizer of downtrodden Ireland. "And, another thing, you must remember you're in America now. In England you object to an Irishman wearing the green. Here we object to Englishmen lying on it; 41 and costs." And the justice pinched himself to look unconcerned while the Briton begged the clerk to cat the fine down to a "bob. "--Chicago Chronicle. A Trap of Her Own Setting. We have all met people whose pride in their own possessions is so great that they can see no charms in those of oth- ers. A young botanist was showing a party of ladies and gentlemen through a conservatory and explaining to them the properties of some of the choicest plants. Among the visitors was a would be young looking, middle aged lady who at every description volunteered the statement that the plants and flow- ers she bad at home were quite the equal of anything here or indeed any- where. • Just as they were passing a giant cactus she was beard to exc'aim: "Well, this is nothing extraordinary. I have a cactus at home that is still larger. I planted and reared it myself, " "Reared it yourself?" the professor gently obeeived. "How remarkable!

"My niece Mary was always a well meaning girl, but she would nay the wrong thing almost every time." said one old gentleman to another, "and she's got a boy that's going to be her very counterpart."

A Matter of Home Discipline. A child should never be discussed within his own hearing. Unfortunate is that family where the little ones learn that they may appeal encaessfnlly from one parent to another or where upon one falls the onus of every neces- sary denial or reproof, while the other stands sponsor for every pleasure and indulgence. Let us spare no secret effort as parents to appear a unit to the child. — Elaine Goodale Eastman in Woman's Home Companion. The first duel known to have taken place upon American soil occurred in 1880, when Edward Doty and Edward Leister, servants of a New England colonist named Hopkins, fought over some trifling matter with swords.

This Woman's Curiosity Is Only Tem- porarily 5&pp d. He had been out pretty late, and he knew it. Where he had been, who he had been with and what he and the other fellows had been doing are mat- ters not germane to the story. Suffice to say that when he opened the door with his latchkey anti made as quiet an entry as possible he felt in bis gnilty heart that the wife of his bosom would asks him a whole lot of things which he did not care to detail just at that time. He was not mistaken. As soon as his wife beard him enter the chamber she knew instinctively that he was trying to "hold out" on ber and she asked: "Where have you been ?" Now, it wasn't part of his plan to tell ber where he had been. The idea was furthest from his mind. so he tem- porized. "Now, see here," said the husband, "if you will lot me go to sleep and don't ask me any questions now cr at any other time about where I have been. I will give yon $50 in cash for yourself." This was a poser, and the dutiful wife naturally started to reach for the 450. But feminine curiosity was a lit- tle too strong, and she did not at once acquiesce. The next morning, g• when she arose, the fust thing that caught her eye was her husband's coat, with one sleeve torn out by the roots and hang- ing by a thread. "Why. Will, what is this?" she asked. "That's a loose sleeve," said her hus- ban ell, how did it get loose ?" she persisted. "See here," he said suddenly, "do yon want to lose that $50? If yon do, jest keep asking questions about that. If yon want to get it, just let the mat- ter drop." Being a wise woman, she let it drop, but his friends are making bots that she will first secure the $50 and then find out some way how that sleeve got loose. —Kansas City World. PATE DE FOIE GRAS. The Fearful Cruelty That Makes This Dainty a Possibility. To the ordinary man and woman no conception of the torture to which the poor, unfortunate goose is put could possibly be formed. The geese when about 9 months old are taken from the pastures and placed in an underground cellar, where broad, slanting stone slabs stand in rows, and are bound fast to the tables. They are literally crucified. Feet, wings and bodies are spread out and bound by bands, so that only the neck is left free. As may be imag- ined, the animal struggles with all its might against this stretching, till, after days of vain endeavor to free itself from the bands and its position, its powers of resistance are overcome, and a dull resignation, broken only by its low cries, takes possession of it, Two months must pass away before death brings relief. The animals are meanwhile crammed with dumplings made of dough of buck- wheat, chestnuts and stewed maize. Every two hours, six times a day, they receive from three to five dumpling pills, which in time become so sweet to the tortured creatures that they stretch their necks to be crammed. The most difficult task is to deter- mine the right moment for death. Those who die of their own accord are lost to the liver factory, therefore a kind of study is needed to see when the cap of agony is brimming fall and the liver is ripe for taking.• The bodies of such ripe ones are like pumpkins— where ordinarily fingers are buried in flesh and fat nothing but skin and bone are found. The livers have absorbed all the strength and juices. A Painful Mistake. A conductor got up early the other morning and got his own breakfast. He is not used to this, as his wife, who was sick on this occasion, is used to getting breakfast ready. He is fond of strong coffee for his early meal, and, filling the pot with water, heaped in four table- spoonfuls of what he took to be coffee. After all was done, the coffeepot steaming and hash well browned, he sat by his own self to break his fast. The coffee did not seem very hot, so he drank off ball the cup in three or four swal- lows. Then the roof started. He yelled like a maniac. His trembling tittle wife ran out to see her husband dancing about on one foot and screeching like a maniac. Ile ran to the water pipe and drank off two quarts of cold water and then quieted down enough to ask: "What in thunder's the matter with the coffee?" She smelled of it and said: "Why. dear, yon mistook the ground cloves for the coffee, that's all."—Lewiston Jour- nal. The Flag on the Wall. The Troy Times tells of a visitor at a public school, who, being requested to address the pupils, spoke of the necessity of obeying their teacher and growing up to be useful, loyal and patriotic citizens. To emphasize his remarks, he pointed to a large national flag that almost cov- ered one end of the room, and said, "Now, boys, who can tell me what that flag is there for?" One little fellow, who understood the oondition of the room better than the speaker, replied "I know, sir. It's to hide the dirt. " He Did. "Whatever station in life yon may be called to occupy, my boy," said the father, in sending his son ont into the great world, "always do your best." "I will," replied the young man, with emotion. He never forgot his promise. Years afterward, when a prosperous man of business, he did his best friend out of a large sum of money. In spite of everything it tta'ns out that way once in awhile. —Chicago Tribune. According to an old French saying, "A man's character is like his shadow, which sometimes follows and eo.se- times precedes him, and which is mot - atonally longer, 000aatalally shorter than he is." The Elder Got the Best One. An account of the life of Judge James B. Bradwell of Chicago by his daugh- ter tells a story of the deeply religions training of his childhood. He had the old fashioned faith in the efficacy of prayer before he was of sufficient age rr'erstand the reasonable limits of ;ti.,ns, ._:I James was only 8 years w tee v. agon was sent to Chicago for provisions. Five days elapsed. The wagon was detained, and the Bradwell family was without food and without a man to provide it. Little James, as usual with even small boys of the time and place, was a good shot. His mother 1 /idea the gun for him, and he started out to see what he could shoot to sup- ply the table. In due time he saw two prairie chick- ens not far away. He got his gun ready and then took long enough to pray thus: "0 Father, if yon 'will just let me bring down these two chickenn'll give your minister the choice of the pair!" The trigger was rolled and down came the two prairie chickens. James believed the shot to be a direct answer to his prayer. He took the two birds to Elder Snow, the minister, and told him of the circumstances. The good elder took a long time to examine the two chickens, in order to be quite sure that be otthe better of g the two, because, he said, he thought it best that the boy's compact should be faithfully carried out. A Lock of His Hair. A venerable, white haired clergyman recently preached in the parish of a friend. He had hardly got back to the vicarage from the church when the door- bell rang and a charming girl of 18 asked to see him. He received her. They talked about the sermon and other things until finally she asked diffident- ly: : "Oh, won't you please give me a lock of your hair?" "Certainly, my child," said the old gentleman, flattered at the request. "I'11 send it to you tomorrow," and he did. On his return to bis own home he had five more requests of the same kind, and he proudly boasted to his wife that he was glad to see that be bad nct yet lost his power to please. All went well until his wife received this note: "Dear Mrs. — - won't yon please ask yonr husband to send me just a lit- tle lock of his hair? We have all been - taking lessons in making hair flowers. So many of the other girls asked him— and he sent it to them—that I thought I would rather ask you to get it for me. Won't you please do this for me? It is so hard to get white hair fcr lilies of the valley." This was a terrible blow, and the less now said about locks of hair in that old gentleman's presence the better. Marksmen In Battle. The story of what marksmen can do in battle is written in red letters ail over the history of war, remarks the Boston Herald. The famous English archers whose cloth yard shafts won so many fights at desperate odds against the mail clad knights of France, the embattled farmers whose deadly aim was so fatal on the Lexington road and the slopes of Banker Hill, the grim slaughter which broke Pakenham's veteran regiments at New Orleans—all are proofs in point. Later evidence of the value of straight shooting is afford- ed by that strange war in which the Dutch Boers won the semi -independence which they now enjoy. In this contest there was on one side a burgher force with slight pretensions 'to discipline, and none at all to drill. and on the other side a British force, hardened in battle and trained to the perfection of soldiership, yet the Boers were victorious in every encounter on the field. What is the explanation? Why, simply this: The Boers were splen- did marksmen, who knew how to make every shot tell, while the British were, comparatively speaking, mere wasters of ammunition of the soldierly pattern. A Good Scotch Story, In Lanarkshire there lived a oma', ema' laird named Hamilton, who was noted for his eccentricity. On one occa- sion a neighbor waited on him and re- quested bis name as an accommodation to a bit bill for £20, at three months' date, which led to the following char- acteristic and truly Scottish colloquy: "Na, na, I canna do that." "What for no, laird ? Ye hae dune the same thing for ithers." "Aye, aye, Tammas, bat there's wheels within wheels ye ken naething about. I canna do't." "It's a sma' affair to refuse me, laird." "Weel, ye see, Tammas, if I was to pit my name tell't, yawed get the Biller frae the bank, and when the time came round ye wadna be ready and I wrd hae to pay't. Sae then ye and I wad quarrel.

It is "a noun of numbers signifying many, but not signifying much." Birds' Nests. Some Australian birds lay their eggs in black sand, as if aware of its superi- or power of absorbing heat; others se- lect the neighborhood of hot volcanic springs, whose warmth plays an impor- tant part in the hatching.

Louis Wain, the famous cat painter, professes to believe that a cat owned by a woman is the mirror of its mistress' temperament. He says that if a cat that has been constantly with its mis- tress is suddenly removed from her so- ciety the creature will show the char- acteristics madame has displayed. If she has been snappish, pussy will scratch; if she bas been sulky, p'issy will calk too. If this were really true, it would pay a prospective husband to steal the cat of his ladylove before tak- ing the fatal matrimonial step. As the cat is about the most independent crea- ture alive, one can't help being skep- tical of Mr. Wain's theory.

Once lay hie suspicions to rest and win his confidence, and he will prove himself a faithful friend and an excellent host, courteous and just in all his dealings, as I have very good cause to know. On the other hand, when dealing with his enemies, he calls into play a talent for intrigne, lying and chicanery that would delight a Machiavelli. In his private life be is unselfish, frugal and economical, a man of care- ful, small habits. Like all folk of Mel- anesian -admixture, be is liable to fits of dangerous sullenness when he con- siders himself slighted in any way. He is inclined to be revengeful and will bide his time patiently until his oppor- tunity comes. Yet he is not implacable and counts reconciliation a noble and princely thing.

How Plague Germs Last. In 1660 the Dutch city of Haarlem was devastated by the plague. Whole families perished, among them a family by the name of Cloux, whose various members were buried in the Haarlem church. Thirty or 40 years ago it was found that the masonry of the tomb was out of repair, and the vault was entirely rebuilt. The masons in charge of the work descended into the vault and remained there during more than a day. Now, although more than two centuriee had passed since the epidemic, all these workmen were attacked with infections bubo (characteristic glands. lar swellings) of the plague and bad to undergo long treatment at the hospital Far worse.

Atter the Operation the Big Fish Are Placed Back In the Water No::e the Worse For Their Experience Ont of Their Natural Element. Tbere are two methods which are employed by fish cultnrists to propagate food and game fish. One is to cattch the young fish, the fry, and transport them to other waters where it is 'desired to introduce them. The other is to strip the female fish of her eggs and to im- pregnate them artificially. All the attempts that have been made to propagate black bass by stripping the female of their eggs have been fail- ures so far, and the only method that can be applied to them is to catch the fry and nurse them till they are strong enough to to libilated. Other fish, nota- bly the shad and the salmon, are readi- ly stripped, and the results are wonder- ful, as the percentage of eggs that fail to hatch is exceedingly small. Were either fry or eggs left to nature only an excessively small proportion would grow into adult fishhood. Apart from those which woad die naturally a tremendous qnantity would fall prey to the host of enemies—insects, crustacea, fish, birds and mammals—that is wait- ing for the spawn or the tiny fish. Any one who has handled fish freshly caught knows how delicate they appear to be and how quickly they die after leaving the water. Yet the experts in the service of the various state and of the United States fish commissions han- dle millions of the most sensitive food and game fish every year, and few of them die from the process. The process of handling a female salm- on that is heavy with spawn which it is desired to take from her is a decided- ly interesting and extremely simple one and may be explained y p so as to be read- ily understood. First the fish are led to swim into a confined ipace where they can be reached with the landing net. Tbe manipulation of this dip net alone requires no mean skill. It must not bruise the flonndering fish and must lift the creature in such a way that it does not scrape the scales from its sides as it struggles. Wherever a scale is torn from a fish, particularly in fresh water, fungus is almost certain to form, and that is generally fataL After the fish is in the net the latter is lifted carefully, and the operator's hand slides downward, gently but firm- ly, till it grasps the body immediately above the tail Then he drawsthe be fi sh from the net and holds it head down- ward. That serves to show at once whether the fish is "ripe"—that is, whether the eggs have reached that stage of development which permits of stripping. If the fish is perfectly ripe. the eggs sink toward the head. If the fish is found satisfactory, the operator places a pan between his legs and holds the fish firmly in his arm. With the right hand he encircles the salmon just back of the gills and, squeezing the fish gently, elides the hand down toward the tail, when the eggs spout into the pan. They are hard then and rattle into the receptacle like peas. Later, after they have been in the hatching frames for a time, they get larger and softer, having absorbed much water. After the eggs have been drawn from the female fish she is placed back into the water, none the worse for her trials. Then the milt from a ripe male fish is pressed into the pan in the same way, and the impregnated eggs are ready to be hatched. Under favorable conditions 90 days is the period of incubation for the grand landlocked salmon, one of the finest game fishes in the world and hardly in- ferior to any as a good fish. The first sign of life in the eggs is the formation of a little clot, generally red or pink, which increases with remarkable rapid- ity, until in a few days the complete form of a little fish is plain to the eye. But it is rather a hideous little mon- ster that wriggles out of the egg finally. It resembles a fish only because it wriggles and moves like one. Otherwise it looks more like a fevered dream after too much broiled lobster or Welsh rab- bit. It is a transparent body, with a globular swelling where its fine, fishlike linea ought to be, and its eyes are im- mense goggles. Then the fish wise men watch the things most carefully. This is a critical period of the young things' growth, and a fall or a rise of a degree in the temperature of the water may mean death to millions of salmon. Generally men remain on guard night and day in the big hatcheries to watch their charges at this time. If they pull through, it is beautiful to see the suc- cessive changes as the tiny swimmers cast off their hideous appendages and turn into dainty, slender, silvery crea- tures that dart through the water like bubbles of air and form in thick swarms in the corners of the tanks, where they hang like bees.—New York Press. Oyster Shells au Medicine. Ground oyster shells were given by the media3val doctors to children suffer- ing from rickets and scrofula. Now it appears that they were right.

THIS WAS JOBSON'S CONCLUSION ABOUT WOMEN IN GENERAL It Was Prompted by a Midnight Ex- perience With Hie Wife, In Which the Revenge That Ile Had Planned So Well Went Sadly Astray. Mr. Jobson got home from bis office at 4:15 one afternoon not long ago and found a note from Mrs. Jobeon saying that she had gone to hear the perform- ance of a long haired pianist and that he'd find his dinner all ready for the girl to serve it. "That's a good thing, too," mused Mr. Jobson sulkily when he bad read the note. "It's a wonder these mattress beaded geniuses that come over here to this country and rake in American dol- lars, hating Americans e.71 tie) time, wouldn't call their game at an hour that 'ud permit a toiling man's wife to be on hand at hcme to give him some- thing to eat when he wants it," etc. The opportunity was too good for Mr. Jobson to miss, so he declined to eat any dinner when the servapt pnt it on the table. Instead he slammed on his bat and went down town He wanted to give Mrs. Jobeon a les- son. He ate an unsatisfactory dinner at a restaurant and then poked around nntil it was time for a variety theater to open its doors. He had to watch a lot of poorly played billiard games in order to put in this time and to talk with a lot of bachelors, from whose ways of thinking he had departed. He was bored exceedingly by theater time. The show bored him still more, but he stuck it out, for he wanted to get home as hate as possible, the better to rub it in on Mrs. Jobson. By 11 o'clock he reflected that he had bad a pretty poor sort of an evening—his evening paper unread, his favorite pipe neglected for a lot of cigars that gave him heartburn, a poor dinner, idle talk with a slew of men that he didn't want to talk to, and finally a tawdry, cheap variety performance that might have` got a laugh out of him ten years before, but was only eo mach ribaldry to him now. He took in a couple more billiard games, however, after the show and threw a couple of cocktails into him- self, not because he cared to drink, but because he wanted Mrs. Jobson to smell bis breath and thus perceive the awful consequences of her conduct. Mrs. Jobson was comfortably tucked in bed when Mr. Jobson got home about half an hour after midnight. She had not even . left -.,it _light -.burning 3s. the vestibule or in the bedroom. She woke up very leisurely when Mr. Job - son started one of the gas jets going. She didn't say anything, however. Mr. Jobson had expected to find her up, fully dressed and in tears. He was disappointed. He was more disappoint- ed that she didn't greet him with re- pinings. Mr. Jobson saw that she was likely to go to sleep again and that he wasn't causing any grief at all by be- ing naughty and keeping eti1L So be cleared his throat and said: "Did he play the buck dance concerto in Z minor with bis hair, and how was itt" There was a lot of sarcaam in the way Mr. Jobson asked this question. Mrs. Jobson didn't turn over at all. "What are you talking about?" she inquired sleepily. "I want to know if that Dutchman that kept yon away from your duty of serving a meal to your husband after his day of grinding labor gave you your money's worth; also if you think you're making any kind of a hit with anybody by these methods, hey ?" "Oh, the recital; that's what yon're speaking of, isn't it?" said Mrs. Jobson sweetly. "Well, I didn't go. I had in- tended to go when I started out shop- ping in the morning and left the note for yon telling yon so, but I thought it might annoy yon to have me away from dinner, and so, when I concluded my shopping, about 4 o'clock this after- noon, I decided not to go to the recital Tbe Fourteenth street car that brought me up town passed the car that took you down town. I saw you on,the car and wondered why you were going in that direction. I anppoee you bad to go back to your office to work. It's shame- ful the way they're overworking you, you poor old thing," and then Mra. Jobson, who knew that Mr. Jobson hadn't been working at his office, turned over and subsided into dreamy slumber.

"it's hard to realize, even for one in the profession. We del things as a matter of course at present that only a few years ago would have been looked upon as downright murder. "I remember back in the seventies I was called to attend a man who was shot through the intestines with brick - shot, making a number of perforations. I promptly opened the abdominal cav- ity and sewed up the wounds, which at that time was regarded as a wildly dar- ing operation.

The Effort to Create Life. The news that Wohler had obtained, in 1828, out of inorganic staffs a cer- tain substance, urea, which occurs in nature as a distinct -product of vital ac- tivity in animals, upset current ideas. Then, later on, Liebig in Germany and Frankland in this country made several important syntheses, and in 1860 Ber- thelot published his epoch making work, "Organic Chemistry Based Upon Synthesis," in which he proved that the synthesis of organic bodies must be punned and may be achieved in a quite systematic way, going step by step over the whole series of organic compounds. At the present time about 180 differ- ent acids, aromatic oils, fats, coloring matters, and so on, which are only found in nature as products of vital activity, have already been prepared in our Iaboratories out of inorganic mat- ter. Some of them are already fabri- cated in this way for trade. Every year brings some new achievement in the same direction; so that the main inter- est now lies,note much in addinga 0o new product to the already long lest of cheiiam icaIly prepared organic substances, as in catching the secrets of the tiny living laboratories in the vegetable and animal cells.—Prince Kra pot kin in Nineteenth Century.

From Fenimore Cooper and other au- thorities we have gained the impression .that the Indian is a stolid, severe indi- vidual, with no sense of the white man's humor, but one red brother show- ed himself quite a civilized joker in the United States court. He was on the stand in a hotly contested case, and At- torney D. R. Bailey of Sioux Falls was after him in the most approved fashion of cross examination. Finally, after ap- parently frightening the Indian with the awful consequences which would follow the slightest deviation from the truth, Mr. Bailey took his most porten- tous tone and solemn manner and de- manded "Now, sir, I want you to tell me the exact truth, without any shuffling or evasion. I want you to look me square in the eye and tell me how you get your living, sir." The Indian looked straight at Mr. Bailey, and, with that imperturbable air familiar to all acquainted with the red men, simply said, "Eat.

In the early part of this century there lived in Nantucket a young Qnakeress whose wit caused many a ripple in the demure circle of the Friends. When this pretty Martha attended yearly meeting in Newport at the age of 18, her youthful spirits brought In - occasional grave looks from the eldt although her real goodness of heart w, never questioned. One evening, during the session of yearly meeting, Martha was the center of a gronp of young people gathered near the windows of the parlor in the boarding house where some cf the Friends lodged for the time. The young people were playing the simple and amusing game of "humorous defini- tions." Martha's wit caused such fre- quent laughter that a solemn faced per- son rose from his seat at the other end of the room and asked, in a loud, stern voice: "Martha, can thee give me the deti- nition of gravity?" The pretty Qnakeress colored at this pnblic and unnecessary rebuke, l;nt after scarcely perceptible hesitation, she answered demurely: "I am not able to give thee a defini- tion of my own, Friend Brown, but perhaps that of De la Rochefoncauld will suit thee. He says that 'gravity is nmysterious carriage e of the body, in- vented to cover the defects of the mind.' "—Youth's Companion. "Going Out to See a Man." "Going out to see a man" was the invention of Artemns Ward. One night in the winter of 1865, when the humor- ist was about half through his lecture, he paralyzed his audience with the an- nouncement that they would have to take a recess of 15 minutes so as to en- able him to go across the street to "see a man." II. R. Tracey, the editor of the Washington Republican, was in the audience, and, seeing an opportunity to improve upon the joke, penciled these lines and sent them to the platform: "Dear Artemus—If you will place yourself under my guidance, I'll take yon to 'see a man' without crossing the street." Arternns accepted the invitation, and while the great audience impatiently but with much amusement awaited the reappearance of the humorist the lat- ter was making the acquaintance of Aman, a well known restaurant keeper at that time, and luxuriating at a well laden refreshment board. Of course everybody "caught on to" the phrase, and men became fond of getting np be- tween the acts and "going out to see Aman." The restaurateur's business from that time forward boomed. Men who would ordinarily sit quietly , through an entertainment and behave themselves allowed themselves to be in- fluenced by the contagion.—Louisville Courier -Journal. Those Modest Japanese!

Small Living Barometers Which Are Imported From Germany. Attached to a glass sided box seen in a bird store window was a placard mark- ed "Weather Frogs." Within the box, perched on two long wooden rods, plac- ed lengthwise of it and nearer the top than the bottom, like the higher perches in a birdcage. were a . number of the weather frogs themselves. Some just then were brown, and one was green. They were little tree frogs of a kind found through Europe, those in the window having been imported from Germany. When full grown, these tiny tree frogs may be little more than an inch in length. They take the color of what- ever object they may be resting on— brown for wood, green if on a leaf; placed in a blue glass jar they will be- come blue. They may be heard but not seen, so closely in color do they resem- ble whatever they may have perched up- on. They are called weather frogs be- cause at the approach of rainy or changeable weather they jump into the water, at the approach of clear weather they come out again. In captivity the weather frog is kept in a glass jar or globe, which is cover- ed at the top with a wire screen. Wa- ter is put in theof h bottom the jar,and at a convenient height -is placed some- thing for the little frog to jump up on. The weather frog in captivity is fed on flies in summer and in winter on meal worms. - Its food must be alive. Weath- er frogs sell here at retail for 20 cents apiece.

"But have you ever seen a lot of common deal that fire had no effect on?" He pulled from his pocket a morsel of what looked like white Norwegian deal and handed it to me. I was surprised at the weight. "Put it in the gas flame," he said. I did so, but beyond a blackening of the surface there W -aa no effect.

Electric Lighted. The Caroline Islanders. As a rule the Caroline islander is fairly honest. Once lay hie suspicions to rest and win his confidence, and he will prove himself a faithful friend and an excellent host, courteous and just in all his dealings, as I have very good cause to know. On the other hand, when dealing with his enemies, he calls into play a talent for intrigne, lying and chicanery that would delight a Machiavelli. In his private life be is unselfish, frugal and economical, a man of care- ful, small habits. Like all folk of Mel- anesian -admixture, be is liable to fits of dangerous sullenness when he con- siders himself slighted in any way. He is inclined to be revengeful and will bide his time patiently until his oppor- tunity comes. Yet he is not implacable and counts reconciliation a noble and princely thing. There is a form of eti- quette to be observed on these occasions —a present (katom) is made, an apology offered, a piece of sugar cane accepted by the aggrieved party, honor is satis- fied, and the matter ends.

How Plague Germs Last. In 1660 the Dutch city of Haarlem was devastated by the plague. Whole families perished, among them a family by the name of Cloux, whose various members were buried in the Haarlem church. Thirty or 40 years ago it was found that the masonry of the tomb was out of repair, and the vault was entirely rebuilt. The masons in charge of the work descended into the vault and remained there during more than a day. Now, although more than two centuriee had passed since the epidemic, all these workmen were attacked with infections bubo (characteristic glands. lar swellings) of the plague and bad to undergo long treatment at the hospital Far worse.

Atter the Operation the Big Fish Are Placed Back In the Water No::e the Worse For Their Experience Ont of Their Natural Element. Tbere are two methods which are employed by fish cultnrists to propagate food and game fish. One is to cattch the young fish, the fry, and transport them to other waters where it is 'desired to introduce them. The other is to strip the female fish of her eggs and to im- pregnate them artificially. All the attempts that have been made to propagate black bass by stripping the female of their eggs have been fail- ures so far, and the only method that can be applied to them is to catch the fry and nurse them till they are strong enough to to libilated. Other fish, nota- bly the shad and the salmon, are readi- ly stripped, and the results are wonder- ful, as the percentage of eggs that fail to hatch is exceedingly small. Were either fry or eggs left to nature only an excessively small proportion would grow into adult fishhood. Apart from those which woad die naturally a tremendous qnantity would fall prey to the host of enemies—insects, crustacea, fish, birds and mammals—that is wait- ing for the spawn or the tiny fish. Any one who has handled fish freshly caught knows how delicate they appear to be and how quickly they die after leaving the water. Yet the experts in the service of the various state and of the United States fish commissions han- dle millions of the most sensitive food and game fish every year, and few of them die from the process. The process of handling a female salm- on that is heavy with spawn which it is desired to take from her is a decided- ly interesting and extremely simple one and may be explained y p so as to be read- ily understood. First the fish are led to swim into a confined ipace where they can be reached with the landing net. Tbe manipulation of this dip net alone requires no mean skill. It must not bruise the flonndering fish and must lift the creature in such a way that it does not scrape the scales from its sides as it struggles. Wherever a scale is torn from a fish, particularly in fresh water, fungus is almost certain to form, and that is generally fataL After the fish is in the net the latter is lifted carefully, and the operator's hand slides downward, gently but firm- ly, till it grasps the body immediately above the tail Then he drawsthe be fi sh from the net and holds it head down- ward. That serves to show at once whether the fish is "ripe"—that is, whether the eggs have reached that stage of development which permits of stripping. If the fish is perfectly ripe. the eggs sink toward the head. If the fish is found satisfactory, the operator places a pan between his legs and holds the fish firmly in his arm. With the right hand he encircles the salmon just back of the gills and, squeezing the fish gently, elides the hand down toward the tail, when the eggs spout into the pan. They are hard then and rattle into the receptacle like peas. Later, after they have been in the hatching frames for a time, they get larger and softer, having absorbed much water. After the eggs have been drawn from the female fish she is placed back into the water, none the worse for her trials. Then the milt from a ripe male fish is pressed into the pan in the same way, and the impregnated eggs are ready to be hatched. Under favorable conditions 90 days is the period of incubation for the grand landlocked salmon, one of the finest game fishes in the world and hardly in- ferior to any as a good fish. The first sign of life in the eggs is the formation of a little clot, generally red or pink, which increases with remarkable rapid- ity, until in a few days the complete form of a little fish is plain to the eye. But it is rather a hideous little mon- ster that wriggles out of the egg finally. It resembles a fish only because it wriggles and moves like one. Otherwise it looks more like a fevered dream after too much broiled lobster or Welsh rab- bit. It is a transparent body, with a globular swelling where its fine, fishlike linea ought to be, and its eyes are im- mense goggles. Then the fish wise men watch the things most carefully. This is a critical period of the young things' growth, and a fall or a rise of a degree in the temperature of the water may mean death to millions of salmon. Generally men remain on guard night and day in the big hatcheries to watch their charges at this time. If they pull through, it is beautiful to see the suc- cessive changes as the tiny swimmers cast off their hideous appendages and turn into dainty, slender, silvery crea- tures that dart through the water like bubbles of air and form in thick swarms in the corners of the tanks, where they hang like bees.—New York Press. Oyster Shells au Medicine. Ground oyster shells were given by the media3val doctors to children suffer- ing from rickets and scrofula. Now it appears that they were right.

THIS WAS JOBSON'S CONCLUSION ABOUT WOMEN IN GENERAL It Was Prompted by a Midnight Ex- perience With Hie Wife, In Which the Revenge That Ile Had Planned So Well Went Sadly Astray. Mr. Jobson got home from bis office at 4:15 one afternoon not long ago and found a note from Mrs. Jobeon saying that she had gone to hear the perform- ance of a long haired pianist and that he'd find his dinner all ready for the girl to serve it. "That's a good thing, too," mused Mr. Jobson sulkily when he bad read the note. "It's a wonder these mattress beaded geniuses that come over here to this country and rake in American dol- lars, hating Americans e.71 tie) time, wouldn't call their game at an hour that 'ud permit a toiling man's wife to be on hand at hcme to give him some- thing to eat when he wants it," etc. The opportunity was too good for Mr. Jobson to miss, so he declined to eat any dinner when the servapt pnt it on the table. Instead he slammed on his bat and went down town He wanted to give Mrs. Jobeon a les- son. He ate an unsatisfactory dinner at a restaurant and then poked around nntil it was time for a variety theater to open its doors. He had to watch a lot of poorly played billiard games in order to put in this time and to talk with a lot of bachelors, from whose ways of thinking he had departed. He was bored exceedingly by theater time. The show bored him still more, but he stuck it out, for he wanted to get home as hate as possible, the better to rub it in on Mrs. Jobson. By 11 o'clock he reflected that he had bad a pretty poor sort of an evening—his evening paper unread, his favorite pipe neglected for a lot of cigars that gave him heartburn, a poor dinner, idle talk with a slew of men that he didn't want to talk to, and finally a tawdry, cheap variety performance that might have` got a laugh out of him ten years before, but was only eo mach ribaldry to him now. He took in a couple more billiard games, however, after the show and threw a couple of cocktails into him- self, not because he cared to drink, but because he wanted Mrs. Jobson to smell bis breath and thus perceive the awful consequences of her conduct. Mrs. Jobson was comfortably tucked in bed when Mr. Jobson got home about half an hour after midnight. She had not even . left -.,it _light -.burning 3s. the vestibule or in the bedroom. She woke up very leisurely when Mr. Job - son started one of the gas jets going. She didn't say anything, however. Mr. Jobson had expected to find her up, fully dressed and in tears. He was disappointed. He was more disappoint- ed that she didn't greet him with re- pinings. Mr. Jobson saw that she was likely to go to sleep again and that he wasn't causing any grief at all by be- ing naughty and keeping eti1L So be cleared his throat and said: "Did he play the buck dance concerto in Z minor with bis hair, and how was itt" There was a lot of sarcaam in the way Mr. Jobson asked this question. Mrs. Jobson didn't turn over at all. "What are you talking about?" she inquired sleepily. "I want to know if that Dutchman that kept yon away from your duty of serving a meal to your husband after his day of grinding labor gave you your money's worth; also if you think you're making any kind of a hit with anybody by these methods, hey ?" "Oh, the recital; that's what yon're speaking of, isn't it?" said Mrs. Jobson sweetly. "Well, I didn't go. I had in- tended to go when I started out shop- ping in the morning and left the note for yon telling yon so, but I thought it might annoy yon to have me away from dinner, and so, when I concluded my shopping, about 4 o'clock this after- noon, I decided not to go to the recital Tbe Fourteenth street car that brought me up town passed the car that took you down town. I saw you on,the car and wondered why you were going in that direction. I anppoee you bad to go back to your office to work. It's shame- ful the way they're overworking you, you poor old thing," and then Mra. Jobson, who knew that Mr. Jobson hadn't been working at his office, turned over and subsided into dreamy slumber.

"it's hard to realize, even for one in the profession. We del things as a matter of course at present that only a few years ago would have been looked upon as downright murder. "I remember back in the seventies I was called to attend a man who was shot through the intestines with brick - shot, making a number of perforations. I promptly opened the abdominal cav- ity and sewed up the wounds, which at that time was regarded as a wildly dar- ing operation.

The Effort to Create Life. The news that Wohler had obtained, in 1828, out of inorganic staffs a cer- tain substance, urea, which occurs in nature as a distinct -product of vital ac- tivity in animals, upset current ideas. Then, later on, Liebig in Germany and Frankland in this country made several important syntheses, and in 1860 Ber- thelot published his epoch making work, "Organic Chemistry Based Upon Synthesis," in which he proved that the synthesis of organic bodies must be punned and may be achieved in a quite systematic way, going step by step over the whole series of organic compounds. At the present time about 180 differ- ent acids, aromatic oils, fats, coloring matters, and so on, which are only found in nature as products of vital activity, have already been prepared in our Iaboratories out of inorganic mat- ter. Some of them are already fabri- cated in this way for trade. Every year brings some new achievement in the same direction; so that the main inter- est now lies,note much in addinga 0o new product to the already long lest of cheiiam icaIly prepared organic substances, as in catching the secrets of the tiny living laboratories in the vegetable and animal cells.—Prince Kra pot kin in Nineteenth Century.

He was on the stand in a hotly contested case, and At- torney D. R. Bailey of Sioux Falls was after him in the most approved fashion of cross examination. Finally, after ap- parently frightening the Indian with the awful consequences which would follow the slightest deviation from the truth, Mr. Bailey took his most porten- tous tone and solemn manner and de- manded "Now, sir, I want you to tell me the exact truth, without any shuffling or evasion. I want you to look me square in the eye and tell me how you get your living, sir." The Indian looked straight at Mr. Bailey, and, with that imperturbable air familiar to all acquainted with the red men, simply said, "Eat.

In the early part of this century there lived in Nantucket a young Qnakeress whose wit caused many a ripple in the demure circle of the Friends. When this pretty Martha attended yearly meeting in Newport at the age of 18, her youthful spirits brought In - occasional grave looks from the eldt although her real goodness of heart w, never questioned. One evening, during the session of yearly meeting, Martha was the center of a gronp of young people gathered near the windows of the parlor in the boarding house where some cf the Friends lodged for the time. The young people were playing the simple and amusing game of "humorous defini- tions." Martha's wit caused such fre- quent laughter that a solemn faced per- son rose from his seat at the other end of the room and asked, in a loud, stern voice: "Martha, can thee give me the deti- nition of gravity?" The pretty Qnakeress colored at this pnblic and unnecessary rebuke, l;nt after scarcely perceptible hesitation, she answered demurely: "I am not able to give thee a defini- tion of my own, Friend Brown, but perhaps that of De la Rochefoncauld will suit thee.

"Going out to see a man" was the invention of Artemns Ward. One night in the winter of 1865, when the humor- ist was about half through his lecture, he paralyzed his audience with the an- nouncement that they would have to take a recess of 15 minutes so as to en- able him to go across the street to "see a man." II. R. Tracey, the editor of the Washington Republican, was in the audience, and, seeing an opportunity to improve upon the joke, penciled these lines and sent them to the platform: "Dear Artemus—If you will place yourself under my guidance, I'll take yon to 'see a man' without crossing the street." Arternns accepted the invitation, and while the great audience impatiently but with much amusement awaited the reappearance of the humorist the lat- ter was making the acquaintance of Aman, a well known restaurant keeper at that time, and luxuriating at a well laden refreshment board. Of course everybody "caught on to" the phrase, and men became fond of getting np be- tween the acts and "going out to see Aman." The restaurateur's business from that time forward boomed.

Small Living Barometers Which Are Imported From Germany. Attached to a glass sided box seen in a bird store window was a placard mark- ed "Weather Frogs." Within the box, perched on two long wooden rods, plac- ed lengthwise of it and nearer the top than the bottom, like the higher perches in a birdcage. were a . number of the weather frogs themselves. Some just then were brown, and one was green. They were little tree frogs of a kind found through Europe, those in the window having been imported from Germany. When full grown, these tiny tree frogs may be little more than an inch in length. They take the color of what- ever object they may be resting on— brown for wood, green if on a leaf; placed in a blue glass jar they will be- come blue. They may be heard but not seen, so closely in color do they resem- ble whatever they may have perched up- on. They are called weather frogs be- cause at the approach of rainy or changeable weather they jump into the water, at the approach of clear weather they come out again. In captivity the weather frog is kept in a glass jar or globe, which is cover- ed at the top with a wire screen. Wa- ter is put in theof h bottom the jar,and at a convenient height -is placed some- thing for the little frog to jump up on. The weather frog in captivity is fed on flies in summer and in winter on meal worms. - Its food must be alive. Weath- er frogs sell here at retail for 20 cents apiece.

Funeral Monday, May 29th, at four p. m., from the house. A most touching and beautiful incident occurred early Satuday morning, when, as we received the very first rays of another earthly morning, our friend was received into the full glory of a morning in heaven. The life work of Mary Avery Boynton has been comparatively brief. She entered this life in the year 1829, in the New England town of Northfield, Vt., where in 1851 she was married to John Boynton, who died Sept. 4th, 1854. In the year 1857 she was married to Chandler B. Boynton, moved west and located in Hastings in 1860. Later lived several years in St. Paul and vicin- ity, returning to Hastings in 1876, where she has since resided. The remaining members of the family are the husband, Chandler B. Boynton, of Ilastings, Fred C. Boynton and Frank G. Boynton, of Minneapolis, and Mrs. E. A. Whitford and Miss Frances L. Boynton, of Ilastings. The life which has so recently yielded to the irrevocable summons, has left a sweet memory in the minds of all who knew her. Several years have passed since she was first at- tacked by physical weakness. Tho' the flesh has since been weak and gradually lost its strength, the faith- ful spirit has been strong and ardent and the brain clear and keen. While deprived of much activity and those pleasures that accompany an active life, she was never dispirit- ed or discouraged, but on the con- trary, cheerful,- uplifting and in- spiring to those about her. Upon being asked if the days seemed long, she always answered in a confident, cheery, "no." Each day was superbly met, there- by developing a life full of holy and gentle love. tier faith in God re- mained untouched and untarnished always. Few guests have visited in the home who have not expressed them- selves as benefitted and .uplifted by her brave, quiet, and unselfish life. Her keen appreciation of humor and ready wit inade her companion- able to people of all ages. This life did not grow from the outward in. It expanded like the breath of incense in a cathedral, like the. perfume of tte flower in a garden. It unfoldeil petal by petal until its sweetness permeated all space. It was her ideal to live truly and see clearly in this world of spiritual forces; to discern her ap- pointed way and hearken to the angelic guidance that attends each and all of us; to discover and follow the polarity of her own nature and thus realize success. Each shining soul had her fair record brought Of glorious service for the Master wrought." a - The High School.

During the past few years the division of labor has gone on to a much greater extent than is' generally supposed, even the various learned professions have been divided into many different branch- es. Take for instance the practice of medicine. The many branches of this extensive science are now prac- ticed by eminent specialists who have spent their entire lives in the study of a single subject. Among these men are Dr. W. -D. Rea, of Louisville, Ky., whose remarkable success in treating chronic diseases in this community have made him well known here.)

R REVENGE PHOT T Tf T FRIEED. "Harry, dear, don't go." "I must, Cis. Beggars can't be choosers," I answered bitterly. "After all, dearest girl, it will be only for a - few months." "A year, I'm afraid, harry, from what father says." "Well, since he has found me this. work I mustn't shirk it. Goodby, my own girl." What misery does poverty entail on loving hearts! Cicely Fleming and I bad loved one another for years -ever since, indeed, we were children togeth- er. I bad spent the few hundreds my father left me in completing my engi- neering education in Germany. Then I cause home, confident of finding work. But nothing came my way in spite of every endeavor. At Iast'Mr. Fleuling's interest procured mea place as assistant engineer in building a new lighthouse on the dangerous. island of Skryn, off the west coast of Ireland. I parted with Cis on a Tuesday. Fri- day morning found me on the small sailing craft which was the only means of communication between Skryn and the mainland. Soon we landed, and I waded ashore and walked up the steep path to the top of the cliff. As I reached the summit a may met me, and, bolding out his hand, said: "Good morning! You're Mr. Brydon. I suppose? I'm Callan!" He was not eo ill looking -at least as far as features went. It was not till later that I discovered the pecnliar re- pulsion he inspired me with was due to his eyes. These were extraordinarily dark and piercing, but across the iris of one was a remarkable pale yellow mark which, combined with a very slight squint, gave him an absolntely uncanny appearance. Next day I was up betimes, boiled my big kettle, made my coffee and was ont on the reef before Callan was visi- ble. The men were already at work. I spoke to them, but either they could not or would not talk. Presently Callan came out, scrambling along the reef. What a' burly brute he looked in the clear morning sunlight! He spoke to the wen with extraordinary roughness. They evidently feared him, and, I soon saw, hated him too. This puzzled me till I knew him bet- ter. Bnt aver few days opened my eyes. Ifever there lived a roan without one grain of pity in his composition, it was Eugene Callan. He seemed to take an absolute delight in cruelty for cruel- ty's sake. There was a boy called Bar- ney McKeown who acted as_servant to Callan. The way Callan bullied that unfortunate boy was appalling. I won- dered bow the others could see such things happening. A few weeks later we had a storm which stopped all work. I sat in my hut reading most of the clay and listening to the gusts that roared at times like thunder. Once or twice I fancied a shriller sound mingled with the gale. Late in the afternoon it filled a lit- tle, and snddenly there carne, distinct and clear to my ears, a scream of pain. I sprang np and listened". Again and again the cry sounded out. It was from Callan's hut it came. I sprang up, fnshed across and flung open the door. The sight that met my eyes Made me b3aze with anger. Strip- ped to the waist and writhing with pain, the wretched McKeown was tied to the head of Callan's bed, while over him stood the big black bnlly, lashing him with a rope's end. "What's this for?" I cried. Callan turned his crooked gaze on me. "To teach the young hound obedi- ence!" His voice grated with rage at my interruption. "And what business is it of yours, Mr. Pry ?" I fancied for an instant he was going for xne. But I was much too angry to think of consequences. "You're an infernal bully 1" I shout- ed. "And if yon don't chuck it I can't make you, but I'll soon let our employ- ers know." The bully was a coward -that I kne c. But he could have killed me wi one hand. So my relief was con- siderable when he suddenly threw down the rope's end. I untied Mc- Keown, and, pushing him before me, left the hut. But a hissing whisper followed me: "All right, young man, your turn now. But you'll pay for it. One day letters came across from the mainland -one from Cis and one in an unknown hand. - Cis' letter, of course, I read first. .^. ben I tore open the other and skimmed it through. Only by slow degrees did I realize its import. My mother's uncle, old Sir Bernard Child, had died and left me everything. Why, I had never seen him, hardly imagined that he was aware of my existence. I walked out, and, still in a dazed condition, called McKeown to pull me across to the mainland. Then I bolted up to the vil- lage postoffice and sent off a wire. To- ward ennset the reply came, assuring me my news was correct in every`71e- tail. I looked up the first train from Cnlcroes in the morning, arranged about a car to take me there and was soon rowing back to Skryn. The sun had long set behind the sea rim as we pulled into the little cove, and it was quite dark as we clambered up the narrow rock path. Reaching the top, I glanced across to the hats and thought I saw the gle en of a light flash under the door of my shanty. I was about to hurry on when the boy laid a hand on my sleeve. Presently there was a scratching from within. A match flamed up. The man who had lighted it was crouched on the floor, his body between us and the light. He was unwinding a piece of very thin twine or strong thread and carefully stringing it across the floor from the bed Co the stove. He passed it round a leg of the stove and then back again, securing it finally with infinite caution to a little shiny metal tnbe which protruded from the top of a small parcel. This parcel was standing well hidden under one of the chairs at the foot of the bed. As the :Ban turned I saw his profile plainly. It was Callan. An instant's thought and my engi- neering training made plain to me the whole infernal plot. The parcel was gun cotton; the tube held acid in a thin glass receptacle. Above this was a lead- en bullet, kept in place by a movable pin. The string so carefully wound acrossthe floor was attached to the free end of the pin. A touch of careless feet against the string, the pin would pull out, the bullet fall, the glass shiver and the acid do its deadly work on the ex- plosive below. I bad forgotten for the time all about the boy. Suddenly, in a moment of mad fury -for he, too, had understood the plot -he sprang np and beat with his fists upon the pane. Callan raised him- self quickly, but carefully, not forget- ting the deadly string. What he did forget was bow near he was to the stove. As in a dream I saw his coat catch against it. It swung and the big kettle overbalanced. For an instant it seemed to bang in the air. I strove to call out. It was too late. Smash, it fell right on the string. The whole world turned crimson and burst into a great glare of flame. Something struck me in the chest and drove me backward. s a a a e s s "Praise the saints, his eyes are open, doctor l" "Yes, he'll do now," said another voice, in a rich brogue. I went to sleep again. ain. When I awoke it was bright daylight. I was in Callan's hut, on his cot. I felt sore and bruised all over, and at first could not remember what had happened. Then it began to dawn on me. "Where's"- I began. "Sh 1" came in the same soft brogue as before. "Don't talk! Callan won't be bothering ye any more. McKeown's not much the worse, barring his hair. And there's nothing broken in yerself." "How long"- I was nsad to know how soon I should be able to travel The doctor checked me again. " In a week," he said, "if you'll lie still." I did, and tomorrow I am starting. Cicely will meet me at Holyhead. - Chicago Journal. Thaekeray's Tendernesr. The following letter was written in 1838 by Thackeray to his wife. Surely a more tender message, more truly in- stinct with love and religion, was never framed 1 "Here have we been two years mar- ried and not a single unhappy day. Oh, I do bless God for all this happiness which he has given me ! It is so great that I almost tremble for the future, except that I humbly hope -for what Y man is certain about his own weakness and wickedness? Orr love is strong enough to withstand any pressure from without, and, as it is a gift greater than any fortune, is likewise one supe- rior to poverty or sictness or any other worldly evil with which Providence may visit us. Let us pray, as I trust there is no harm, that none of these may come upon us, as the best and wisest in the world prayed that be might not be led into temptation. "I think happiness is as good as prayers, and I feel in my heart a kind of overflowing thanksgiving which is qnite too great to describe in writing. This kind of happiness is like a fine picture -you only see a little bit of it when yon are near the canvas. Go a lit- tle distance and then yon see how bean- tiful it is. "I don't know that I shall have done much by coming away, except by being so awfully 'glad to get back." Antidote Against Stings. According to Dr. Friedlander of Wiesbaden, electricity is an antidote against stings of insects. His plan in such cases is to apply a constant cur- rent and to place a negative cathode on the spot stung by the insect. Galvani- zation produces a rather strong sensa- tion of burning, but at the same time the pain from the sting disappears, and if the electricity is applied very soon after the wound has been inflicted there is little or no swelling. The current, however, does excellent service elinn if it be not applied until after some time has elapsed, for it removes the pain and also quickly reduces the swelling. The supposition is that the poison which the insect has injected through the skin is neutralized and rendered innocuous by the current. Dr. Friedlander bas repeatedly made experiments of this kind on persons who have been stung by bees and wasps and has invariably found them success- ful. He naturally believes that a sim- ilar result would be obtained in the cases of persons stung by other insects. Red Causes Insanity. Red blinds or red lights of any sort are extremely out of place in a bed- rocm, brain specialists reporting a great many cases of weakening of the intellect, and even entire loss of reason has been traced to this cause. Thick black blinds are the beat of all and green is the next best to induce healthful rest. The darker the shade the better. Nov Manufacturing. "How are you getting on ?" askea Aguinaldo's friend.

' ' "-' Old "Saw Log" Sam Stevenson is said to be the richest man in Michigan. He was in congress several years, but was defeated for re-election in 1894. He lives in the upper peninsula, and is a lumber king. He was probably the most ignorant man who ever sat in congress. He knew the value of a dollar, however, and could tell the color of one as far as the next man. He could be generous on occasion. and, on occasion, he could be lavish. When forest fires swept over Wiscon- sin some years ago and wrought such destruction and occasioned such desti- tution, "Saw Log" Sam wired Pills- bury, at Minneapolis, to send to the sufferers 1,000 barrels of flour and for- ward the bill to hint. When McKinley was inaugurated, one of the Vanderbilts was a guest of the Arlington hotel. He sent his secretary out to secure a window on the avenue from which to view the parade. The man asked $400 for it. and the secretary told him to hold it until he could con- sult Mr. Vanderbilt. Nearly all the windows had been taken. Along carne 1 "Saw Log" Sam window hunting, and 1 approached the window yeller Vander- bilt's man had been negotiating with. After some haggling "Saw Log" bought the window for $1,000 cash in hand and he and his party at once took pos- session. -Pittsburg Dispatch. A Little Punctuation. People who fail to punctuate their communications are invited to study the following line, which is a correct sentence: "It was and I said not or.'' We got that line one day this week by punctuations where punctuations are al- ways omitted. 'We nearlywrecked our mentality trying to clear up the mys- tery of the single line, when all of a sudden it occurred to ns to lcok up a copy of our letter to the party, when we discovered that our friend wanted to inform us he did not use the word "or," but did use "and." To be plain, the sentence is correct and should have read, "It was 'and' I said -not 'or.' " Another party who has been studying Pope wrote us as follows: "My Dear Mr. George -I have been thinking over the statement you made last week, and I too believe that that is is that that is not is not, and i take pleasure in be- lieving so." A good way to untangle the above is to write it as follows: "That that is, is. That that is not, is not." In other words, it is a play on Pope's "whatever is, is right." People who eschew punc- tuation should not feel hurt if their meaning is not always readily grasped -George's Denver Weekly. She Was Over Twenty-one. In Anstralia there are so few natives left that anything but a white man's marriage is a comparative rarity. The curious difference, however, between weddings there and in the mother coun- try is that here we license the place for the solemnization of the ceremony and at the antipodes they license the man who performs the rites. Marriage can be performed at the registrar's office for a guinea, but if a minister know- ingly marries a minor without her peo- ple's consent be is liable to imprison- ment and a fine of $1.:100. If, however, the contracting parties have taken the oath that they are of full age, be is safe, though it bas happened more than once that young lovers have gone to the registry office and obviously per- jured themselves on the age question.

He had discoursed learnedly, if some- what wearyingly, to his friend on the influence of food upon character. "Tell me, " said he in summing up, "tell me what a man eats and I will tell you what he is." His friend, though fatigued, was evidently interested. "There is only one question I wish to ask you," he said. "Ask it." replied the discourser mag- nanimously, with an air that said very clearly. "Give me a hard one while you are at it and I'll show you how smart 1 am. • "It is this,' replied the fatigued friend. "How mach sage tea would yon have to drink to make a wise man of yourself ?'

Sir Gilbert took the book to bis gardener, a relative of Thomson, who turned it over and over in his bands, gazing at it in admiration. Sir Gilbert said: "Well, David, what do you think of James Thomson now? There's a book that will make him famous the world over and immortalize his name." "In truth," said David, "it is a grand book.

When King Oscar was at Paris some years ago, be was about seeing the sights incognito. Among other places he dropped in at the official exposition of Sevres porcelain. Here the product of every year was arranged chronologic- ally and with great care. Of some kinds ere were full sets, but of blue celeste there were but three pieces, and the custodian informed the king that it was impossible to obtain more and that they were of immense value.

"How can it be possible that you have preserved them all this time?" "Oh, that's very easily accounted fort" said the king. "Yon see, in Swe- den we don't have any revolutions)" - Philadelphia Post. She Washed Her Hair. If yon observed closely a certain pret- ty bridesmaid at a certain wedding on a certain day last week, yon may have noticed that her hair under the fetching hat had a strange look, an oddly di- sheveled ed a sera butI ace don't believe e yon ever guessed bow narrowly that bridal procession missed being one maid short. The young woman we are speak- ing of has uncommonly pretty bair,, and in order that it might be fluffy and silky and soft for the wedding she washed it the day before. It is her cus- tom to drop a handful of borax into the water with which she shampoos her tresses, and on this occasion she drop- ped in a handful of soft, white powder that proved to be not borax. but, horri- Lile dicta -powdered alum. If you've seen the crystal baskets your mother used to make by immersing strings in alum water, you may have some idea of how the hair looked. It was like a mass of spun glass threads, and it broke off if yon looked at it. A hairdresser was sent for and vaseline and sweet oil, and goodness only knows what else were called into use. The bridesmaid's hair was finally rescued after a fashion, but it wasn't a thing of beauty at the wedding, and it will be weeks before it is what it was before the accident. -Washington Poet. Deceitful. but Brave. He had been out late. When be reached his residence, the clock was chiming 5. Heavy, weary, disgusted, he opened the front door with some difficulty and softly toiled up the stairs, entering the bedchamber with elaborate caution. Thank goodness, she was asleep! He dropped into a chair, and, with- ont taking off bis coat or bat, began to remove his shoes. One he placed with great care upon the floor, but, alas, as he took off the other it slipped out of his band and fell with a loud noise. "Wifey" awoke on the instant. Sbe looked at him and then at the sunlight that streamed through the blinds. "Why, George, what are you getting up so early for?" Talk about reprieves! "Why, my dear," replied George, with the clearest enunciation of which be was capable, "I found I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd get np and go out and take a walk." And out the poor wretch went, drag- ging himself round wearily for an hour upon the verge of tears and torpor. He Returned the Compliment.

"Knotty" History. Tying knots in a handkerchief to jog one's memory had its origin in China thousands of years ago. Before writing teas invented in that country, which did not happen until 8000 B. C., memo- rable and important events were record- ed by long knotted cords. The most an- cient history of China is still preserved as told by these knots. When Emperor Tschang Ki invented writing, the entire system of "knot- ting" was abandoned.

It was not on the floor. He felt behind his ear •It was not there. "This is what comes," he said im- patiently, "of trying to work where there is a houseful of children.

After a moment's pause one of the children said slowly "If you'll laugh, papa, yon will find it." He stared at her in astonishment.

Snakes have the sense of smell It is difficult to obtain food for the rattle- snakes and copperheads out at the zoo- logical park. The keeper has been try- ing them on the house rats and mice he has caught about the building. He would leave them in the g e sn kcage ver- a a over- night and through the day. They would run over the snakes with impunity. The snakes would pay no attention to them, but when be happened to secure some field mice and put them in the cage the snakes ate them at once. He put in several rats and mice of the or- dinary house variety that were living out of doors under the sidewalk, and these were seized by the snakes almost as readily as the wild species. The keeper then conceived the idea of making an earth box to keep the rats in for awhile before feeding, and he found that if they were put in there for 12 hours or so before they were given to the snakes they would be eaten. The only apparent explanation is that the smell of the earth is agreeable to the snakes, and that the smell which the animals acquire about buildings is ob- jectionable. -Chicago Record. The Albany Capitol Guide. One of the first things done by a stranger visiting Albany, says the Phil- adelphia Call, is to pay 25 cents and put himself at the mercy of a capitol guide. The guide makes a profound and obsequious bow, like a prestidigitator about to charm an audience, and,pro- ceeds to lift the veil which bides the mysteries of the great building. On a recent occasion the guide led the stranger regretfully past "McGin- ty's" empty frame and proceeded to identify the heads of notables that deco- rate the stairway. He did fairly well until the stranger pointed out Shakes- peare and Homer and asked who they were. "Them," replied the guide, undaunt- ed, "are the heads of two politicians whose names I disremember." Then the Girls Giggled. It occurred at a wedding in a Kansas City church. The minister was young and nervone and instead of saying, "Who gives this woman?" etc., he asked gravely, "Who gives this man to this woman ?" If the bride had not been four inches taller and many pounds heavier than the groom, the slip would have attract- ed less attention. As it was, the other girls in the church were not to be blamed for tittering. Melancholy Thought. When a man really gives his thoughts up chiefly to eatables and drinkables, he generally ceases to think of anything else after awhile. It is related in an old book on French cookery that Fontenelle, a French author of the early part of the eighteenth century belonging to the school of the precieases, or literary ex- gnisites, was found one beautiful morn- ing lying at ease on the slope of a bill. In the valley was a large flock of sheep. They skipped about daintily, waiting for their guardian to take them home. A friend of Fontenelle surprised him gazing meditatively upon these cheep. "Abe!" said the friend. "The amia- ble philosopher ponders without doubt upon the vicissitudes of life." "Y -yes," said Fontenelle. "I had been carefully looking over this fl(g:k, and I said to myself, 'It is possible that among these 200 sheep there is not one tender leg of mutton I' " Advantage. of Married Lile.

A WOMAN'S LIFE IN UTAH. Some of the Mental Anguish That Is Caused by Polyfy:tasty. No Moil, ,on woman will talk from her heart . to a stranger, notably and essentially 'when that person is a gen- tile, (in hernwndom, every one who is not a Mormon is a gentile,) for she knows by and experience that this would but increase her sufferings. Of all sacrifices that have ever been exact- ed of the single, ]cuing heart of true wife and mother in the name of reli- gion, none can equal those of polygamy, which these women were taught would be practiced through all eternity, as it was "the celestial order of heaven." an eternal law. Under its baneful influence a wife lived in the same house with her hus- band, surrounded by their children, a lonely, disccnsolate woman. The confi- dence and respect that should have united their hearts, made one their in- terests, is first defiled and then destroy- ed. She early learns to be silent and observing. After their evening meal, if she sees her husband make as careful and elaborate a toilet as their circum- stances permit, she dares not ask him where he is going. Bat that fear that ever abides in the heart of every Mor- mon wife eats, cankerlike, at her vi - tali ty She may try to drive these thoughts away, she may say to herself, "No; whatever h e other maydo,however they may deceive their wives, my hus- band will be honest and true. He will not deceive me. " Up almost to -the hour that she is expected to go to the "en- dowment house" and place the band of the second wife in that of her hus- band she gives her hungry soul this soothing balm. But ultimately she must awaken to the fact that no man can practice polygamy without becom- ing a hypocrite. Many of these women believe, or try to believe, that polyg- amy is a revelation from God and con- sequently must be obeyed. But if any gentile woman will try to think how she would feel if her bus - band were to tell her that be is soon to bring into their bonne a second wife to usurp her place in the family circle, share her husband's affection, come be- tween her and the man who had been her all in all for so many years, that woman will have arrived at a full, per- fect, exact comprehension of what a Mormon woman suffers.—Arena.

Sager went to the bride in hie most winsome way and asked her "Hast ever seen Black Bibles? We've a rare lot on 'em in this 'ere vestry." "No," she replied. not having the faintest idea of what a Black Bible was "Coom along. I'll show yer them." He lured her into the inner vestry. "There's the Bibles," be said, point- ing to them, locked up as they were in a bookcase with glass panels, of which he had not the key "Wait awhile till I come back.' He turned the key of the vestry on the bride and, going to the bridegroom said. "Lass is all right, but you'll no have her till yon have paid." The "brass" was immediately forth- coming. Soda Water Making. There has been placed on the market a portable and individual soda water generator no larger than a pint cham- pagne bottle, which is likely to become popular with our soldiers and sailors on duty in the tropics. Its value is in circumstances where the ordinary aerat- ed water is not easily obtainable. It has a vast field of usefulness in its ap- plicability to campaigning alone, ander conditions where it is only safe to drink your water after it has been boiled. Boiled water is always flat, but with this simple contrivance, simple in its application, you can charge it with carbonic acid gas, and by adding a small lozenge give it a soda, seltzer or vichy character. The carbonic acid gam necessary for carbonating the water is carried in small steel pellets.—New York Journal. A Happy introduction. An Englishman who is an enthusi- astic Alpine clubbist came in one night to carry a friend off to a lecture which the veteran mountaineer Whymper was giving at Westminster on his pet theme, "Twenty Thousand Feet Above the Sea." The friend could not go, for he was otherwise engaged, but Whymper's name reminded him of a story of Sir James Linton, the late president of the Royal Institution of Painters In Water Colors. He had to introduce the well known artist E. M. Wimperis to the Alpinist, and he did it in the following fashion: "I want to make two distin- guished men known to each other. The one is Mr. ,t hympet', the other Mr. Wimperis.' For an impromptu this is not bad. A Modern Princess. A good story is told of the Princess Maude of Wales. After a long season of attending the inauguration of wings of hospitals, homes, exhibitions and ba- zaars, she is reported to have said to her father and mother: "What a blessing it must have been to have been born a princess in the days when they had nothing to open and shut," a sentiment with which the Prince and Princess of Wales no doubt iu their inmost hearts agreed.

HIGH TONED BOOK AGENTS. Men Who poly Sell Volumes Worth From ipso to $5O0. "There is a distinct upper class of book agents who never corne-in contact with the general public," remarked Mr. Charles A. Meyers. "I have been interested in art publications for a number of years and know most of the tiptop salesmen in the conntry. They handle books that range from $50 to $500 in price and only call on people who figure on certain select lists. These lists are the result of -the callings of years, and, combined, they represent nearly all of the high class hook buyers of the United States. Each publishing bcasa has its own colleetjon of names, and they are valued biglkly. "I call to mind one Wu that failed and went out of business several years ago and its roster of buyers was consid- ered its very beet asset. It was pur- chased for something like $5,000. The class of books dandledthe agents to whom I refer would kreatly astonish the everyday patron of the shops. They are printed in very limited editions, and every refinement of mechanical art is lavished on their preparation. Some- times the edition numbers linly 25 or 80, and as soon as it is off the press the type is taken down and distributed.

The Stratagem by Which Sir Francis Vere Defeated the Spanish. When Philip II debated the qnestion of coercing with fire and sword the Dutchman. who did not like the taxes which they themselves did not vote, the Duke of Alva counseled violent meas- ures, for in his eyes the rebels were only "men of batter." Nevertheless lie found that these men, so fond of cows and bens, could hold his veterans at hay. finally overcome rnem is the field. and after 80 years leave poor Spain "a broken backed tiger. " Indeed in time of war country folk with baskets of eggs end butter excited no suspicion even to alert sentinels. Taking advantage of this fact, Sir Francis Vere determined to recapture from the Spaniards the Zutphen sconces, or forts, by a stratagem. In 1591 be picked out some lusty and handsome young soldiers and dressed most of them like the Gelderland egg women and the rest as Boers. With bundles of vegeta- bles, baskets of eggs and butter. but also with daggers and pistols inside their clothes, they were ferried across the river by twos and threes. They sat near the gate of the fort being already, at the break of day, chatting and ges- ticulating, as if in some tremendous argument abont the rise or fall of mar- ket prices. Then, according to arrangement, Vere sent some cavalry forwbrd, as if ap- proaching, and the pretended country people ran in feigned terror toward the fort. The gates were at once thrown open to receive them. They all streamed in, threw off their disguises, and in a few minutes were in possession of the forts of the town, where the gallant Sir Philip Sidney afterward lost his life by being more rash and lees shrewd than the veteran Vere.—Harper's Bazar. A Mark Twain Story. Apropos of the Portuguese reis (pro- nounced rays), when Mark Twain vis- ited Fayal some years ago one of his companions invited him to dine, with eight others, at the principal hotel in that happy island. As soon as the cloth was removed and the wine placed on the table the host called for the bill, which amounted to 21,700 reis. "Go, leave me to my misery, boys!" ejaculated the unhappy man. "There isn't money enough in the ship to pay that bill I am a ruined community. Landlord, this is a mean swindle. Here's $150, and it's all you'll get. I'll swim in blood before I'll pay a cent more." The landlord looked surprised, but immediately had his little account translated "into a language that a Christian could understand," when it was found that, at the rate of 1,000 reis to a dollar, the demand actually amounted to $21.70. More refreshments were ordered forthwith.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. A Penalty of Knowledge. "It seems to me," remarked the high 'rowed theorist.

She is a clever woman, a past master in the art of strategy. So agree all who rode down town on the street car the other morning. She got on a south bound Clark street limits train at Belden avenue. Every seat was taken, and almost every strap had a man or wotnan suspended from it. She looked about hesitatingly for an instant, but every man was wonder- fully interested in his paper. Then she took bold of a strap almost in front of a young man, a very young man, who was blushing .guiltily as he pretended to read. While the young man blushed and the woman thus bung her handkerchief flattered, accidentally by all appear- ances, to the floor. The young man looked up just then and saw the white bit of cambric. The feeling of chivalry . which he evidently was trying to stifle would not be stifled longer. He arose and stooped for the hand- kerchief, This was the woman's oppor- tunity. While his back was turned she gently slipped into bis seat. When he turned about • and saw what had oc- curred, he almost collapsed. But the woman did not. She took her handker- chief ont of his hand, smiling inno- cently. "Tbank yon," she said sweetly. "Yon are very kind. "—Chicago Jour- nal. Might Destroy A11 Life. In a signed article in The Electrical Review Nicola Tesla describes some of his experiments in the line of electrical currents of high voltage and gives de- tails of the coil which he need. "The discharges of such a coil," he adds, "when of an electromotive force of a few millions of volts, excite powerfnl affinities in the atmospheric nitrogen, causing it to combine readily with the oxygen and other elements, particularly in the presence of aqueous vapor. "So energetic are these actions and so strangely do such powerful discharges behave that I have often experienced a fear that the atmosphere might be ignited, a terrible possibility. which Sir William Crookes, with his piercing intellect, bas already considered. Who knows but such a calamity is possible? And who can tell with certitude that periodical cessations of organic life on the globe might not be caused by igni- tion of the air and destruction of its life sustaining qualities, accidentally or as a consequence of some accumula- tive change? A lump of coal will lie for centuries unaffected in contact with oxygen, but, the combustion once start- ed, the process continues as long as there are •'dements to aoasbine. " Pretty Strang Proof. "Well," said Deacon Stubbles, "they say your son Josh is gittin to be quite a man up to the city. " "Yes," Squire Sprogle assented, "it 'pears like he was.

"Yes, Josh was never no hand to set around and wait for folks to find out about his good p'ints.

"No, 'twan't that, but a reporter come down here to ast if Josh didn't used to be all fired lazy, or always ren- nin away from school, or if he wasn't a queer sort of a child that wanted to be away by hisself and not have nothin to do with other children.

French physicians have added a new disease to those that afflict humanity. They call it "locomotor hysteria." It manifests itself in an insane hurry to get over the ground. A fellow who has this disease and has it bad can't stand anything slow. If he goes driving, in- stead of enjoying the scenery he beats his horse into a continual gallop, and when the beast drops exhausted, like the hero of the ballad, "be gets an- other mile out by twisting of its tail." He runs to catch a train or ferryboat when there's not the slightest need. But, of course, he's at bis worst when be mounts his bicycle and proceeds to slay miles and pedestrians. Then be be- comes that modern terror, the scorcher. Diagnosing scorching as a disease, it is seriously proposed to carry the scorcher, when he is caught, to a hospital, where he may be detained for some weeks and treated for his malady precisely like any other monomaniac.—Public Health. barbed Wire Telephones. Telephone monopoly is not feared where barbed wire fencing may be used as a medium for telephonic communica- tion. Such use of the fencing has been made in several places in the west, and a typical illustration is the "system" in use in Mason county, Ills, It started with a line 1% miles long, instituted by an amateur electrician to connect his father's farmhouse with the post - office, and this worked so well that seven other lines were established, 21 _miles in length and operating 88 tele- phones. The cost of the wire need not be considered, of course, and the tele- phones cost only $8 each. The use of the telephones is free to all. Their prac- tical utility is evident,, and in addition they are a means of social entertain- ment much appreciated on the farms. —Exchange. Why "Yohn'r Stays In the Klondike. An old Dane from San Francisco had no companion, not even a dog. "Sometime I do get mad," he said, "when the sled pull so bard, and I say, 'Yohn, yen are a big fool to start for the Klondike when you are 69.' Bat we do not like to gif up. Nefer do we get so old we tank it too late to make a fortune. If a man know as be would drop dead on top of the pass, I tank a man go on to see the t'ing out.

"—"A Winter Journey to the Klondike," by Frederick Palmer. in Scribner's. In Favor of the Wife. It is said that in the Philippines the law which relates to the property of married people is entirely in favor of the wife. Any property a bride may possess is never by any chance settled upon the husband, and if he is poor and she well off he can only become at most an administrator of her possessions. After death it is said that unless she bas executed a• deed in her husband's favor, under a lawyer's direction, the property goes to her children and blood relations, but none to her husband. A married woman retains her maiden name and adds to it that of her hus- band, with the prefix "de," while the children bear the names of both parents. Walt Whitman's School. Admirers of Walt Whitman will be interested in learning that the good people of Woodbury, N. Y., have pre- served the school where the poet once taught. This school was built in 1807, and when the new school was built the old one was moved to one side. It is now used for public gatherings. Whit- man was born at West Hills in 1819. His parents moved to Brooklyn when the boy was only 4 years old, so it is highly improbable that he ever attended the school as a pupil. When 18 years old, however, he became the teacher of the Woodbury school. Farmer Sinclair. John Sutherland Sinclair is a farmer in North Dakota. His farm is called Berriedale farm. In the book of the peerage Mr. Sinclair is put down as Earl of Caithness, Lord Berriedale and a baronet of Nova Scotia. All the castles and vast estates which his ancestors owned have shrank to the North Dakota farm. The earldom of Caithness once embraced all the northern part of Scot- land, from sea to sea, and the Sinclaira were earls of Orkney too.—Milwaukee Wisconsin. The Trials of Handshaker*. One might supp'rse from the calm end placid exterior of; most great per- sons that public life to a private snap. But it isn't. Take, for instance, offi- cials who are celled upon to hold public receptions. It looks easy, of course, to pump handle a few thousand persons at the rate of 12 a minute, but just try it once. When yon have, you will feel inclined to wood sawing as a light di- version and as a relaxation take to car- rying coal from the cellar up. Reduced to its simplest expression, handshaking is the hardest manual la- bor on record. The wife of a prominent American was speaking of this feature of public life a short time ago and in illustration held out her hands. "Von see my left band," said she. "Well, it is no different from any other hand. It is not too large, nor too broad, and, if I may say it myself, nct 'i11 formed. Now look at my right hand. Yon notice the difference. Do you see how lunch larger it is—how it is broad and pudgy ? Well, all that came from handshaking. NowadaysI have to have my gloves made to order, the right hand two sizes larger than the left." The same woman said, too, that her right arm frequently became numb and powerless after recti t• ns where she wan tailed to -slash. Band or more pe it( -moi Letter. Sea Gulls as Weather Prophets. The ex -sea captain looked over the rail of the Hoboken ferryboat toward the east. The rising sun, which had just cleared the house tops of Manhattan borough, looked like a huge red ball. "Dirty weather coming," said the ex -captain. "The sun never looks that way unless there's rain in the air. Then look at those seagulls too. Yon never see them in a harbor or on shore unless there is tronble brewing out to sea. Way back in the sixties I was on a sail- ing ship coming up from southern ports. When we were abreast of Hatteras, the weather was very warm, and the crew were set to work washing ship. The men were barefooted, and their trousers were rolled asp to their knees. Soon we saw several galls flying about our trucks. In half an hoar there most have been 200 of them. The barometer did not indicate any change, and we cer- tainly thought the birds had been fooled that time. But about an hour before sunset the barometer began to fall as if the bottom had dropped ont of the glass By midnight we were in the teeth of as wild a blizzard as I ever struck. We reached New York all iced up." In the evening of the day on which the ex -captain bad prophesied bad weather it rained.—New York Com- mercial Advertiser. Freesing Flesh. It is a curious fact that, although dwellers in northern climes most have known for ages that a low temperature preserves flesh from putrefaction, it never seems to have struck any one that this natural fact could be turned to artificial advantage until Lord Bacon stuffed the historic chicken with snow and thereby caught a chill which killed him. It is perhaps even more curious that an experiment resulting in the death of one of the most eminent men in the world should not have called any attention to an already well known principle which might have been readily turned to great advantage. As a matter of fact, it was not until the year 1871, 249 years after Lord Ba- con's fatal experiment, that freezing was practically employed as a method of preserving flesh. This was the com- mencement of the frozen meat trade be- tween America and England. Four years later a dry air refrigerator was perfected, and the system on which this was constructed bas since become prac- tically universal. How to Pronounce Albany. The common usage of pronouncing the name of our city as though it were spelled Allbany bas so long prevailed that it will probably surprise many readers to be told that the first syllable of the name is properly short and should be pronounced like the Al in Al- fred and Albert. Edwin Forrest, who was an accurate orthoepist, called this city Al -bang, not All-bany or Awl- bany.—Albany Argus. The seeds of the Philippine bean from the ooast near Manila so closely resem- ble the quartz pebbles, among which they fall, in shape, size and oolor, lus- ter, hardiness and stratification as to be almost indistinguishable. dall=lt —.sumacs 4' DEF TV P A GE Wee 1 THE GAZETTE.

She had sen careful to leave her address, so t at Everard might have no difficulty in tracing ber, and she had no doubt that he wonld turn up some time dur• ing the day to scold her—she determin- ed that she would submit to the scold- ing without a word—but, at any rate. to take ber home. She did not go out all that day lest she should miss him, but he never came. When night fell, she would have been glad to go back of her own accord, but her pride forbade her, and she remained where she was. Surely, she thought, he will come tomorrow. But that day, too, passed, and Dorothy began to realize that her husband bad taken her at her word. .As a matter of fact, on the morning of the second day Everard had left word where he was to be found at the house agent's office and inserted one or two advertisements in the daily papers—he could not afford many—and then he told himself he could do no more. Doro- thy was dead to him—lost in the great whirlpool of London. • :.1•#*y*#•'t-s#***•sX•#***srdc•#* K*#siS 1 iip. lir u* kw t • R �'# ••dFs# s•l(-•s ss•3f••s s•ir "This bacon ,is not fit to eat I" He lifted a bit on his fork and smelled at it suspiciously.

" "The charwoman didn't comp this morning, yon know, Everard, and"— Dorothy was desperately afraid that she would cry, and she was determined not to et'y, so she said no more. - "Why can't you find a servant, then ?" growled her husband. "Such wretched mismanagement I never saw. " "Perhaps you were more comfortable in lodgings," said Dorothy, taunted in- to speech. No answer. "Perhaps yon think it was a mistake to have married me." Silence, so much recommended in cases of this kind, is sometimes the most cruel of all retorts. It was so now. Yet Everard Payn said not a word. He knew be was behaving like a brute, but be was..cold, hungry and haunted with corroding care. Ho turned to the fire- place and tried to poke the mass of coal and coal dust /alto a flame, but his ef- forts were ill directed, and the smolder- ing heap remained dead. He threw down the poker in a passion and went int into the hall and into the street, closing the front door after him with a bang. Hour after hour Dorothy sat at the wrctebed breakfast table without mov- ing.. She was alone in the little house and had no one to mind but herself. The tears came freely enough now. They trickled through her fingers and dropped, one by one, on the soiled ta- blecloth "Was it true, then?" she asked her- self. "Did Everard regret already the rash step that had brought them to- gether?" He was only a poor writer, strriggling for dear life in the creel bat- tlefield of London. She knew that he was often pressed for money, though he told her little of his money troubles. Was it not a piece of folly in them to marry ? At length she rose and mechanically began to clear away the breakfast things. The kitchen fire had gone out. Everything was cold and dreary. And if it were all a huge mistake! She went up stairs and began to put a stew of her personal belongings into a portmanteau. One volume she thought she must have—a copy of "The Imita- tion of Christ." Sbe found it after a the search, but then she remembered. It had been a gift from Everard—how long ago it seemed—in the days of their courtship. The pet name be had given her, and that no one but him had ever called Ther, "Dodie," was on the fly leaf in Ms handwriting. She could not take it. She kissed it and put it away in a drawer. Then she went on pntting things together, one by one, on the bed. • • • ' • • • • The winter afternoon had given place to twilight when Everard put his latch- key into the door of the little dwelling. He had long since repented of his bad temper, and be had brought with him a twopenny bunch of violets as a peace offering. It struck him, as he opened • • • • • • • A year went by and Dorothy, pale and thin and shabby, was slowly drag- ging her way through one of the great thoroughfares. Her heart was heavy, for there was a cradle in the poor room she had left and in the cradle a baby girl. What Dorothy Payn bad gone through during tho last six months only she and her God knew. At one time she had all but starved, but one of that much sneered at class—district visitors —bad found her out, given her sympa- thy, money and fresh hope for the fu- ture. Since her recovery she bad sup- ported herself chiefly by typewriting— an art she had learned in the days of her girlhood. A few days before Mrs. Rainforth, who had succored her, had written to tell her of a situation for which she might apply. It was the post of school- mistress in a school in the north of Ire- land. Mrs. Rainforth bad told Dorothy's sad story to the clergyman of the parish, and he had promised that he would do what he could to get the post for her, and she had good hopes that she wonld obtain it. It was not the life she would have preferred, but, in contrast with the hardships of the last 12 months, it looked like paradise. Dorothy was now on her way to meet one of the school managers who was examining candi- dates for the place. On her way she passed a church. She slipped in a2d eat down. Thoughts of God came into the girl's mind. She had not said a prayer for years. Was there not something in the Bible about an- swering prayer—some promise that whatever we pray for would be granted? Sbe was sere of it. At once Dorothy re- solved to put it to the test. She would pray for this post in Ireland. Sinking on her knees, Dorothy poured out her petitions to the Father of her spirit, nor did she content herself with merely stating her request, but returned to it again and again, beseeching the Al- mighty that this thing might be grant- ed to her. She saw the school manager, and he professed to be well satisfied with the proofs which she furnished of her fitness for the post. Three weeks went slowly by. Dorothy thought she had never known time to pass so slowly, and then one morning a large envelope was handed to ber.-e It bore the Ballyrowen postmark, and her fingers trembled so that she could scarce- ly tear open the cover. There was noth- ing but her few pocr testimonials re- turned to her, with a civil note saying that the managers regretted to be un- able to avail themselves of her services. That was all. That was the victory of her prayer! Two months after her great disap- pointment Dorothy obtained a large manuscript which was to be typewrit- ten as soon as possible. Hurrying home, she threw off her hat and jacket, lit the lamp, and, taking a peep at her sleep- ing baby, began her task. The little thing slumbered on. She was so need to the click of the machine that it never disturbed her now. The manuscript was a story by Gid- eon Armstrong, a writer of whom she had heard once or twice within the last few months. She dashed at the written pages and covered several sheets before it occurred to her that the handwriting was familiar to her. It could not be— surely it could not be— Yes, it was her husband's I So he was Gideon Aamstrong l He was known, becoming popular, perhaps rich—at all events, well off—and she, the poor, discarded wife, was starving in a garret, glad to earn a pittance by doing the work of a clerk in connection with the manuscript which would fill his pockets and make him more famous than evert Dorothy clasped ber hands before her on the table, rested her head on them and wept bitterly. At last she bent to her work and for a time wrote steadily. But suddenly she came to a full stop. "•It was impossible for Dodie to say more"— Her own pet name, the name Everard had given her when they were lovers, looked out at her from the paper; put evidently by mistake for the name of the•heroine. She must have been in his mind, she said to herself, or her name could not have found its way to the pa- per! She blushed and her eyes shone. But what was she to do? Was she to hold her peace and let him go? If he indeed remembered her— Then an idea struck her. Here and there throughout the manuscript she substituted "Dodie" for the name Ever- ard had given his heroine. She thought he would be Kure to notice this, to wou der why it had been done, to make in- quiries. If he did not choose to do so, if he made IIIttign, she cotild go on as she was doing. That night the manuscript was fin- ished. Next day she took it back to the office and received the few shillings that were due to her for her labor. Then she went home and waited. For the next three days her heart beat with sudden painfulness at every ring that came to the lodging house door. After that she began to fear as weleas hope, and when week after week Went by and her husband made no sign she knew the heart sickness of hope de- ferred, and after that the torpor of de - One evening she could not work --- baby was worrying, and the time that should have been spent_over her type - writer was given to soothing the li[ile one's cries. Weary and half distracted on account of hwr neglected work, Dorothy was sitting down to her ma- chine when she noticed that the baby's cough mixture was nearly finished. Only a few drops were left in the bot- tle. It was scarcely 10 o'clock. The drug• gist's shop would be open if she went at once. Throwing a shawl over her head, she went out, closed her door behind her and began to descend the dark staircase. "Can you tell me whether a Mre. Payn lives here?" said a voice close tc her. Dorothy was silent. She felt as if her heart must stop beating if she tried to speak. "I thought I heard some one corning down. I el,all do yon no harm. Surely yon need not be afraid to tell lee if Mrs. Payn lives in this house." "Everard. do yon want me? I an; Dorothy!" • • • • • • • 'When Dorothy came to herself, she was lying on the floor of her room, her head resting on her husband's arin and baby screaming lustily in her cradle. Soon she was able to take the child and hush it. • "Is that our baby, Dorothy?" said her husband, wondering. Dorothy blush- ed and nodded and pot the child into his arms. In the long talk that followed Everard explained that he had tried in vain to find his wife, and had only seen the name "Dodie" in bis manuscript when it bad been delivered to him along with a bundle of proof sheets that afternoon. After the talk there was a long si• fence. Dorothy slipped out of the room and got the baby's medicine, and when she came back her husband said to her: "Do you know, I always believed that I should find you one day ? I had an offer to go to Edinburgh, brit I refused it be- cause I felt certain that you were in London." Dorothy made no reply, but she throw her arms around her hnsband's neck and kissed him. Ho glanced down and saw that his wife's eyes were closed and her lips were moving. He thought that she was thanking God. but he did not know that what she bad in her mind at that moment was an unanswered pray- er.—.Tohn K. Leys in New York Press. Siamese Football. The Siamese youth have only o06 game worth considering, and that one is indigenous—or native to Bnrnta—the question of parentage being a much mooted one. At all events the game re- quires a certain amount of activity and is very interesting to the onlooker. It is a kind of football—in fact, I have heard it called Burmese football—played with a ball about four inches in di- ameter, made of braided rotan, entirely hollow, very strong and resilient. The number of contestants is not arbitrarily fixed, but play is sharpest when there are enough to form a circle about ten feet in diameter. The larger the circle after it has passed the desirable diam- eter the slower the play. The game is to keep the ball tossing into the air without breaking the circle. As a man fails at his opportunity he drops out, and when there remain but four or six the work is sharp and very pretty. The ball is struck most gener- ally with the knee, but also with the foot, from in front, behind and at the side. Soule become remarkably clever. I have seen a player permit the ball to drop directly behind his back, and yet without turning return it clear over his bead and straight into the middle of the circle by a well placed backward kick of his heel.—Harper's Weekly. The Points of a Cat. A good cat—the kind you want to have in the house, if any—will have a round, stubby, pug nose. full, fat cheeks and upper lip, a well 'developed bump on toi3 of the head between the ears, betokening good nature. A sleepy cat that purs a good deal is apt to be play ful and good natured. By all means to be avoided is a cat with thin, sharp nose and twitching ears. It must be remembered also that a good mouser is not necessarily a gen- tle or desirable pet. Although any good cat will catch mice if she is not over- fed, quick, fnll, expressive eyes gener- slly betoken a mousing cat. The greatest mistake—probably the most common one—in the care of do- mestic cats is overfeeding, particularly too much meat. In the wild life a cat has exercise which enables her to digest food. In the lazy house life the same full feeding leads to etornach trouble. The Lighting of a Room. The lighting of a room, says The Pharmaceutical Era, depends to a large extent upon the color and material of the walls—in other words, upon the percentage of light reflected by them. Recent experiments have shown the proportion of light reflected to be in percentages as follows: Black velvet, dark bine, 6.5; dark green, 10.1; light red, 16.2; dark yellow, 20; blue, 80; light yellow, 40; light green, 46.5; light orange, 54.8; white, 70; mirror, The Mexican road runner has only two short legs, but he can beat a horse, a hound or an electric carriage and give them a handicap start.

The transformation which chemistry renders possible in some branches of in- dustry, as deecribed by the Chicago Record, is almost beyond belief. It is a fact not generally known that over 60 per cent of wood may be converted into liquid. While the strongest hydraulic pressure wonld not squeeze from dry wood one-half of 1 per cent of moisture, when the same material is put into an iron retort and converted into charcoal by means of heat, the gases and smoke to the extent of fully 65 per cent of the weight of the wood may be condensed into liquid. This liquid is known as pyroligneous acid, and from it are obtained wood alcohol. acetate of lime and wood tars. A cord of wood weighing 4,000 pounds will produce about. 2.650 pounds of pyroligneous acid and 700 pounds of charcoal This amount of the acid pro- duces 9 gallons of 82 per cent crude wood alcohol, 200 pounds of acetate of lime and about 25 gallons of tar, be- sides 85 bushels of charcoal. After the pyroligneous acid is neutralized with lime the wood alcohol is distilled off, the lime holding the active acid in solu- tion. The liquid remaining after the separation of the wood spirit is boiled down in open pans to a sugar and be- comes the acetate of lime of commerce. This is used in the manufacture of acetic acid. Three-fifths of the world's production of wood alcohol and acetate cf lime aro made in the United States, where fully 15,000 acres are cleared for the purpose annually The enormous demand for wood alcohol is accounted for by the fact that it affords a perfect substitute for grain alcohol at less than one-third the cost. Besides its use as a solvent in the making of shellac ,varnish, cellu- loid, photographic paper. etc., it makes many beautiful dye tints. From its antiseptic qualities it is also much in request in surgery and medicine. It en- ters largely into the composition of some liniments, and it is the favorite form of alcohol used for skin rubbing and bathhouses. Combination Lamp. The signal lights on the head of the locomotive play almost as essential a part as the headlight, and it is a mat- ter of some importance that these should be kept constantly lighted, and for this reason these lamps artist be watched all the time. A patent has been recently granted for a scheme by which the care ordinarily bestowed on one lamp an- swers for all three, as the beadligbt 14, ONE PLAM3 FOR THREE LIG1ITS. flame is made to illuminate the side lights as well as the central cne. This headlight has a two part reflector. The one part attached to the lamp frame is provided with side openings and con- duits, laterally adjacent to the flame, the tnbes registering with the burner and extending to the side lights. The latter are provided with a special re- flector by which the illumination from the headlight is made to also do service in the side lights. This is the invention of Leroy W. Laning of Cincinnati. — Brooklyn Eagle. Resisting Power of Snow. Some experiments were made recent- ly in France on the penetrative power of bullets through snow. The results were astonishing. The Lebel rifle was used, and at a distance of 160 feet the bullet penetrated only five feet into the snow target. A bullet from a Lebel rifle has been known, it is said, to go through a tree of 8% feet in dlameter—pre- sumably through the full length of the diameter. That it should penetrate only 18 inches farther into such soft stuff as snow seems altogether startling. The explanation suggested by the experi- mentalists is that tbe rotating bullet picks up particles of snow as it goes in, and so gets "balled," or blocked up. The result is curious enough to encour- age further experiment. One would like to know, for instance, whether a non- rotating ball from ti smoothbore would show better penetration, as it should on tbe theory advanced. These are not ex- periments without a practical value. A knowledge of the defensive resistance of a snow wall to be impact of rifle hallete ntight be of the greatest valtie.—Rochere ter Democrat and Chronicle. Statues of Glass. A company of glass workers have re- cently discovered that ordinary plate glase will make a more durable monu- ment than the hardest marble or gran- ite, for glass is practically indestructi- ble. Wind, rain, heat or cold will even- tually crumble the hardest rock, and one can seldom read the inscription on a gravestone 50 years old, but a glass monrunent will look as fresh after the lapse of centuries as on the day of its erection, and tbe inscription can be made ineffaceable.

He had displayed abil- ity at college, but bad to wait the usual number of years for his first case.

The composition of the sausage is not only complex. but it is often obscure. In this country the preparation of this (as it should be) usefnl article of food is confided to the employment of minced beef and pork. The only exception probably is the so called "black pud- ding," \which is made with pie's blood and perhaps some heart and kidney Abroad, however, the sausage is com- pounded of a much wider range of sub- stances These include brains, liver and horseflesh. The last snbstance is gener- ally considered repugnant, while. of course, it is fraudulent to sell sausages as beef or pork containing horseflesh. Occasionally, however. sausages do not contain meat at all, but only bread tinged with red oxide of iron and mixed with a varying proportion of fat. The remarkable featnre of horseflesh is the high proportion of glycogen which it contains, and this fact enables the presence of horseflesh to be detected with some amount of certainty The test which depends on a color reaction with iodine has recently been more carefully studied and with more satis- factory results, so that the presence of 5 per cent of horseflesh in sausages can be detected.—Lancet A Street Mintier.

QUARRIES OF CARRARA. Where Some of the World's Finest Marble Is Obtained. Carrara marble is known throughout the world, yet few of the many tourists who are whirled along the Mediter- ranean railway from Rome to Genoa ever stop to visit the spot from which this famous stone is obtained. Carrara Iles on the railway between Pisa and Florence. All the inhabitants of the little town are directly or indirectly in- terested in the quarrying, working and shaping of the marble, and the glare of marble dost and marble meets one en every side. The marble quarries are en- tirely different from what might be ex- pected, and in place of craning the neck to gaze down into the bowels of the earth one only bas to admire the long, irregular rift in the flank of the moun- tain, for the quarrying is all done on the surface and dcisifjpit require the construction of pits or galleries. The quarries have been likened by one writ- er to a cascade of water soddenly hard- ened into stone. The percentage of men who meet hor- rible deaths in the quarries is very large notwithstanding the fact that powder and not dynamite is used. Of course many of these accidents are caused by careleeenese on the part of the workmen. When the great blocks are once detach- ed, they either roll down the mountain or are lowered to the desired place by means of ropes and tackle. No ma- chinery is employed, and all the work is done with the crudest appliances. A blast is announced by three long notes on a horn, but lithe attention seems to be paid to this signal by the workmen, and many terrible accidents result in consequence. A few years back, when accidents oc- curred, the cathedral bells were tolled to give warning to the people, but ow- ing to the anxiety and angnieh of thou- sands of pcor families on hearing this grewsome sound the custom has now been abolished, and the workmen all leave the quarries as soon as the acci- dent occurs in order to assure their families of their safety, and they are allowed their frill day's pay. The pay of the workmen is wretched, varying from 60 to 80 cents a day. A blast is very exciting to a stranger, who is ven- ally accompanied by a guide, who con- trives to get him in a place of absolute safety during the explosion. The marble is blasted high up on the peak, and the pieces bound or leap downward until they strike some ob- struction or the valley below. Former• ly all of the immense chunks of marble had to be transported by primitive carts hauled by oxen, but now the railway affords an easy means of transporting to the market. The huge trncks are met everywhere floundering along, flinging great clouds of choking white dust in their train or splashing mud, which is white in this remarkable locality. Each car is drawn by 18 or 20 pairs of oxen. which are covered with the white duet which is everywhere. They are goaded by their cruel drivers, for the Italians are notorious for their cruelty to ani- mals. An interesting excursion is to one of the quarries which were worked by the Romans, and the quarries show how primitive were the means employed by men of antiquity. They first marked out the block upon the solid mase, and they actually cnt it out by hand labor. In many places one can still see blocks which lie imbedded in the rnbbish caused in quarrying and shipping them. The Romans split their blocks into slabs by inserting wooden wedges and keep- ing them continually- wet until the swelling of the wood burst asunder the stone. A Roman altar was unearthed some years ago near the quarries, and a few rusty implements have also been discovered. Carrara marble has been a favorite with sculptors for nearly 2,000 years, and today it is nearly always used by the sculptor in preference to marble from any other locality. It is also largely used in decorating churches.— Scientific American. A Singular Coincidence. This is a story related to me by a friend, which, though it may seem wonderful, is only the result of a little insignificant "wand ad." Several years ago a lady wishing to chaperone a party of yonng people going to Europe for the summer inserted an "ad." to the above effect and accordingly was engaged. While in Berlin, at one of the art museums, one of the young ladies no- ticed a painting that was the original of one which was in her father's col- lection at home. While gazing at it the chaperone came up, and she, too, seem- ed to see something in the picture that ,greatly interested her. She told the young lady that her aunt, whom she had long ago lost trace of, used to have a picture just like that in her old li- brary at home. The young lady was greatly inter- ested and made numerous inquiries of the chaperone as to her parentage, etc. Of course, she said, there were many pictures just like it all over the world, but it was such a peculiar one and she felt that she noticed something familiar about the voice and manner of the chaperone that she had hitherto unno- ticed. After reviewing the matter for sev- eral days and making obsez vations she resolved to put what facts she had to- gether and write to her fatiaer. Six weeks later her father met the party at Liverpool and surprised them all by an- nouncing that the chaperone was his dead sister% only child, who was sup- posed to have been lost on the Arcadia when its boilers exploded while cross- ing the Atlantic in 1884.—Minneapolis Journal Antwerp is the principal market of Belgium for paints and colors. LIQUID AIR. Some of the Many Uses to Which I May Be Put. It would seem that certain uses mas be found for liquid air in which consid erations of cost are not so important as is the ability to obtain the effects in view. In warfare, for example, tat possession of highly concentrated en- ergy stores under control Is very im- portant. Liquid air can be rapidly con- verted Into compressed air at six tons per square :uch. This would probably be useful In the projection of high ex plosives. Compressed air Is now used for pro• pelting mobile torpedoes, or fish torpe- does, as they are called. Dirigible tor• Redoes either depend for power upon compressed air or the electric energy of a storage battery. Compressed air requires high pressure and very strong and heavy containing vessels. Liquid air can be stored without pressure or at low pressures and can be evaporated at any desired pressure, while its bulk represents that of air under 800 atmospheres. A storage battery would properly be from five to ten times as Leavy as liquefied air in a receptacle for equal available energy. But no storage battery could be dis- charged at an equivalent rate. Submarine boats and flying ma- chines may yet find use for liquid air. In the submarine boat it could be evap- orated by the heat of the surrounding water, and after furnishing power it would ventilate the boat. Before the final discharge it could be burned with oil in a fuel engine for further power. We may find use for it In the flying machine. For emergency work it could In evaporating cool the cylinders of a Duel engine and yield power as a result. Moreover, control of the submergence of a boat could be effected by the use of liquid air, so easily gasified, to add to the displacement. The great feature of the application of such a power as liquid air would be its emergency value. By this Is meant the ability to obtain at will a sudden output far beyond the normal. Animal power notably possesses this emergen- cy value, and the success of electric trolley systems largely depends upon the fact that when needed the station can be called upon for a temporary de- livery to any single car or train of a power greatly in excess of the rated output of the motors.—Engineering Magazine. HASTINGS, MINN., SATTR,DAY. JUNE 17, 1899. Homing Instinct of Birds. According to Mr. Tegetmeler, there t Is a tremendous amount of nonsense talked on the subject of the homing instinct of birds. In fact, he states - that pigeons, which are generally sup- posed to possess it in a large degree, have simply none, and it was there- fore a sheer impossibility that the pigeons which Andree took with him should return. Pigeons, Mr. Tegetmeler says, must' know the road they are to travel, or they can do nothing, and when he de- cided to fly them between Belgium and London his birds were taken sev- eral times over the route that they might know it well. At first they were taken out five utiles, then ten, and so on till at last they knew the whole distance over which they had to fly. It Is easy for pigeons to judge where they are going, for at a certain height oue can see a very long distance. This is a fact well known to aeronauts, who are perfectly astonished at first by finding how much farther they can see from a bal- loon than would be possible from the highest building. Tatht the King to Ride. Some y ars ago Lieutenant Lans- dale, who was recently killed at Sa- moa, visited Korea on one of the American cruisers. He had a bicycle with him and when Chemulpo was reached went ashore for a ride. It was the first bicycle the ignorant and superstitious coolies had seen, and they fled at the first sight of the strauge roan gliding along on it. The king heard of the wonderful machine, and Lansdale received a po- lite summons to come to Seoul and bring hie wheel. He did so and taught the king to ride. The latter at once ordered a royal collection of wheels, and he and Lansdale took many rides togethdr. They grew 10 be excellent friends, and the young officer was al- ways a welcome guest at the court. The friendship endured to the end of the life of the officer. They Put Him In a Cage. A gentleman with a very singular ep- isode In his life has just died in China. This was M. Pity, the "father" of the Chinese customs service, which he en- tered when It was first formed by the consuls at Shanghai in 1854. M. Piry was a Frenchman by birth and in his boyhood went to sea. Being shipwreck- ed on the Korean coast, he was taken by the natives and dispatched to the king at Seoul as a great curiosity. The king, possibly desiring to send a rare and strange present to his suze- rain in Peking, put poor Piry in a cage and sent him overland to the Chinese capital to the emperor. The latter, aft- er detaining him some time, sent him down to Shanghai to the foreign con- suls, who gave him a post suited to his age in the newly established customs, and there he remained until his death. Florida's New Senator. James P. Taliaferro, the Democratic senator elect from Florida, Is a native of Virginia, where his family was one of considerable distinction. It was of Spanish descent, but the name is now pronounced Tolliver. The senator elect is 52 years old. He served as a private in the Confederate army and after the war settled in Tampa, Fla. He has been successful In business and is pres- ident of the First National bank of Tampa. He declares his adherence to the Chicago platform, free silver and a11. He is a man of strong personality, t'ho possesses to a high degree the fa- cility of making strong and lasting friendship. Men tie to him.—Pittsburg Dispatch. A Rapid Talker. Saburo Shimada, the vice president of the Japanese house of representa- tives, is nicknamed "Shabero," "Talk- ing Jack." He is the terror of the ste- nographers, who demand one more yen (50 cents) an hour than usual for their services when he is speaking. Ordina- ry speakers are said to utter 230 sylla- bles a minute, but Mr. "Shabero" 8h1- mada can get off 400 syllables in the same space. A Little Too Slow For Us. If any one still wonders why cricket is not a popular sport in America a pe- rusal of the report of the game be- tween the Australians and the south of England team should enlighten him. After three full days' play, the account says, "time alone prevented the fa- mous Australians from gaining a vieto- ry."—New York Tribune. Delicate Heat Measurement. A new calorimetric machine, said to he the finest of its kind in the world, has been received by the geological survey at the Johns Ilopkins universi- ty. It is a contrivance for finding the relative quantity of heat in different qualities of coal. The testing apparatus consists essen- tially of a bomb, or heavy shell, about the size of a large orange, In which a small platinum crucible is suspended by a small wire and a jac:eted tank of water. A gram of coal dust is com- pressed Into a cake and placed In the platinum crucible, which, after receiv- ing 375 pollllds of oxygen and being rendered airtight by a screw cap, is im- mersed In the tank. By an ejeetric spark the oxygen is Ignited with the coal, and the increase of temperature In the water, caused by the consumption of the coal. is accu- rately measured by two delicate ther- mometers. The bomb is made of alu- minium bronze, weighs about two pounds and is coated on the inside with 20 coats of gold plating.—Balti- more Sun. The Number of Animals. "Every now and then," says La Sci- ence Illustree, "some naturalist en- deavors to make an approximate nu- merical count of known animal species. We are far from knowing all species, and yet there is a delightful prospect ahead fc"r those who love systematic zoology and for zoologists who bestow mntnal honors by giving each other's names to some animals hitherto un- known. As M. Trouessart remarked to a recent meeting of naturalists at the museum, to which he presented his "Catelogns Mammalinm," the species of rodents known in 1880 were only 970 in number. Now they are 1,900. The number has at least doubled in 20 years. The number of living species of this creature now known is about 1,500, divided among 160 genera. This family is the most numerous of the class of mammalia. "—Translations Made For Literary Digest. The Healthiest Cities of the World. Not long since Dr. Benjafield of Ho- bart, Tasmania, made a claim in The Lancet that the town was "the healthi- est city in the world," because it had a death rate of only 14 per 1,000. In re- ply Dr. Willoughby, the medical officer of health of Eastbourne, England, says that the death rate of that place, the population of which is 5,000 larger than that of Hobart, was only 10.8 in 1898, and lees than 10 per 1,000 in 1897. We can beat Dr. Benjafleld's figures in many towns in this country. In Toledo, a city of nearly 150,000 inhab- itants, the death rate last year, accord• ing to the report of Dr. J. T. Woods, health officer, was 10.8. In Erie, Pa., during the past three years thereto has varied from 10.53 to 10.94.—Medical Record. "Old Secession:' An interesting relic at the Confeder- ate rennion ap Charleston, S. C., was the iron 6 pound cannon, "Old Seces- sion," which was used in announcing the opening of tbe secession convention in that city and was again fired when the ordinance of secession was passed. It was also used to announce the seces- sion of each state as the news was re- ceived in Charleston, and whenever its roar was heard many persons rushed to see what state had joined South Caro- lina. The cannon has been removed it night to various places and buried sin,:e the evacuation of Charleston in 1864. It was recently dug up in Savannah and returned to Charleston, where it has been suitably mounted and labeled with silver plates and will be kept as a relic. France Giving Lp Soup. A French writer, says our Paris cor- respondent, calls attention to the fol- lewirg items of culinary statistics. Soup Is gradually going out of usage in ordinary%rench meals of the better class. At the beginning of the century and until the Franco-German war it was taken at lunch and dinner. Alex- andre Dumas fits followed the old fashion of soup for the first breakfast. Choice wines are also little drunk. French doctors now forbid "potage" and order plain white wine, especially to ladies who dread obesity.—London A CORNER IN WHEAT. INCIDENTS OF ONE THAT "OLD HUTCH" MANIPULATED. Lie Let Up on All the "Good Fellow That He Knew, but Ile Made t Smart Guys That Had Been Tryi to Down Him Howl Oat Loud.

The pit was wild w excitement, but "Old Hutch" retrain in his favorite chair, tilted back agai one of tbe posts, calm and indiffere Frenzied wen crowded abont hint a implored, begged end demanded know where the advance would str For all of them Mr. Hutchinson had t same answer: "Come in and settle. boys. Septe ber wheat will bring $1.50 tomorr and $2 on settling day." "Tomorrow" came, and wheat w bid up to $1.50, with speculators to bling over one another to get it at th price. Through the tumult Mr. Hutc inson sat unmoved. He was the on man in all that howling crowd who h grain to sell, and he didn't see fit to 1 go of it. Tho closing bell found brok clamoring abont him with offers to b at $1.50, brit he ignored them. "It will be $2 tomorrow, boys," w all he would say. And it was. The mark the old m bad sot was reached, and he settled that figure with such of the losers were ob3tinate and had not alrea come into camp. Reports vary as what ho cleared on the sqneeze, the fi ures generally accepted being betwe $2,500,000 and $3,750,000. At t same time Mr. Hutchinson was caref to avoid severe pressure on any of t "good fellows." Among his clo friends at that time was Columbus Orvis. During the last days of the co ner Mr. Orvis heard of a number their mutual friends who had be caught in the squeeze. In every i stance he world go to "Old Hutch" an say: "Old -- is short abont 50,000, an is hit hard. Let up on him, Hntchi son, for old times' sake." "Sure. Make any kind of settleme yon please with him. I don't want hurt anybody." In other instances old friends wh scented a safe profit in the squee wanted to get into the market, bu were unable to get buying orders a cepted. Nobody but Hutchinson ha wheat for sale. Every man of this cla who applied directly to Mr. Hutchinso was acconamodated,....1n a number cases he'Iet them have wheat at *1 an $1.25 in 25.000 and 50,000 bushel lot and they turned it over within a conp of days at $1.50 and $2. "I'm not after the lame ducks, Hutchinson said. "I hope every cne o 'exit will make money. The chaps I' gunning for are those smart guys wh have been trying to down toe, and I'u going to get them.

"Old Hutch" ha a warm, kindly heart. He was devote to children and was never so happy a when entertaining a party of little ones which he frequently did at his office o club. People in financial distress alway found in him a generous friend, espe- cially those who were caught in the maelstrom of speculation. Nor were his charities in this line confined to his immediate associates. He assisted even those who were opposed to him in trade. It is told of him that on one occasion a friend found him stamping about his office in a great rage. The news bad just reached him of the impending fail- ure of a trader for whom he had a strong dislike. "--'s going under," said Hucthin- son as his friend inquired the cause of his excitement. "He's a rascal and ought to suffer, but he's got good people depending upon him for support. Be- sides that, his failure would wreck, a whole lot of innocent firms. Go over and see how he stands and draw on me for what money is needed to pnt him on his feet again." Mr. Hutchinson furnished the money, the failure was avertel and the trader kept on in business. And yet be was a man that Hutchinson would not trust with an order for a 5,000 bushel trade. — Chicago Inter Ocean. Our Bridges In Demand.

Sl per Year in Adyamee. *2 per Year if not in Advance(- ZINC COMES HIGH. The Pelee Ham Doubled Within the Past Year. The recent rise in the price of zinc ore, which has been greater than the advance in ingot copper, bas brought American zinc properties before the public as never before. Lately, says the Boston news bureau bulletin, zinc ores sold at $52 per ton for 60 per cent ore, which is the stand- ard, the price paid by the smelters' agents at the mines varying above or below this price according to the in- crease or decrease of the percentage of zinc in tbe ore. The previous highest price was $48.50 per ton. A year ago the price was $26 per ton. or one-half the present extreme price, and a few years ago the price was well below $20. The advance in zino bas been due to the exhaustion of important mines abroad, especially in Belgium, where they have been worked below the sea level and flooded; also to the increased consumption of braes, which is made of zinc and copper, and the expansion of the electric field and the develop- ment of the cyanide process for gold extraction. South Africa alone is said to consume 40,000 tons of zinc in the extraction of gold through the cyanide process. There is no such thing as zinc scrap. Zinc is eaten up or vaporized, and is more distinctly consumed than any other metal. It is estimated that in the production of $40,000 in gold by the cyanide process two tons of zinc aie eaten up. In the electric field it is the only negative metal, and there is yet no substitute for it. It is very volatile, and in the ore smelting proc- ess it is first vaporized and then con- densed. It requires three tons of coal to smelt one ton of zinc, and therefore zinc ores are carried to the coalfields or to the natnral gas wells. The world's production of zinc is said to be about 400,000 tons of zinc ore, of which the United States is now pro- ducing 265,000 tons per annum. Last year the United States produced 235,- 000 tone of zinc ore, an increase over 1897 of 53,000 tons. As three-quarters of the American supply comes from the Missouri -Kansas district. which will run above 50 per cent of metallic zinc in the ore, the American production of zinc can be safely set down as now about 270,000,000 pounds, which was the American production of copper but a very few years ago. As in copper, the positive metal in the electric field, so in zino America now controls the markets of the world. It would appear that America bad not only the telegraph and telephone de- velopment of the world, but the elec- tric railway development. Keeping on the Trolley. The trolley is the universal means of transit, and everybody is interested in anything tending to further improve the service. One of the greatest draw- backs is the aggravating loss of time in replacing the trolley wheel, which so frequently jumps from the wire. By means of a wheel designed by George Mittinger, Jr., of Cleveland this an- noyance will be dispensed with and the trolley will be replaced on the wire TROLLEY REPLACER. every time without a second's delay and without putting the conductor to the least trouble. In fact, the operation will be performed automatically. The replacer consists of a concentrically grooved extension on each side of the wheel. When the wheel leaves the wire, the upward motion of the pole causes the wire to lodge in the groove of the extension on either side, and by means of the spiral shape of the wheel the wire is carried to its normal place. —Brooklyn Eagle. Never Eat Alone. The solitary eater is always tempted to take too large mouthfuls and swal- low them too quickly and either to eat too much or too little. Eating is only one part of feeding, and without digestion is not only useless, but in- jurious. Those who eat in compan7 have to devote a certain amount of time to talking and attending to each other's wants. This makes the period between the mouthfuls longer and gives more time for digestion. Then, again, conversation at mealtimes usually takes a cheerful tarn, and the tone of both mind and body is raised, the heart and nervous system act better, the flow of digestive juices is stimulated, and a larger amount of actual nourishment is obtained from a smaller quantity of food. In a word, the man who eats in company eats more like a man and less like an animal than he who feeds alone. So his food does him more good in every way. —New York Journal. Poisoned Overcoats.

An interesting and novel process of producing pure ice by natural methods, Bays the Boston Herald, has been put in operation in Claremont, N. H., by a resident. A year ago he had a building specially constructed for his nee. The experiment house is unique. It bas no windows, but is four square, with a door in each side. The owner says he can make ice faster in a house with doors at the corners than in the mid- dle or the sides; still this one does the business. Inside the house is what might be termed another house—a crate —water tight and built so as to avoid rigidity of angles and to allow of the expansion of the water in freezing. The expansion is one -twelfth, so the space to be left between the sides of the crate and of the hoose proper is easily deter- mined. In the early days of experiments mere than one house was smashed by the bulging propensities of freezing water. At one end of the house is a stand- pipe from the main of the Claremont waterworks. The water is spring water, but an application is made of electricity to still further pnrify it as it stands in tanks after being drawn from the source of enpply. It rushes first through a rnbber tube to a tank 60 feet from the main and on the second floor of the building. Another tube, 60 feet long, takes it to a second tank. A third lets it run to the floor of the crate. As it runs out it moves slowly and more slowly, like clear, cold, crystalline mo- lasses—still more slowly—and stops frozen. The ice builds upon itself in the crate—forming anchor ice, not a top film—and the end is a crate of pure, solid ice, of such color as no one ever saw who bus been limited to ice cut from crdinary ponds and rivers. The tubes are arranged with respect to the openings in the building, so as to get the maximum amount of cold wind blowing on them. One day's ex- periment illustrates the process of freez- ing. The water in the standpipe was at 45 degrees. It was 18 minutes passing through the tabes and its temperature, as it issued upon the floor of the crate was 80 degrees, or two degrees below freezing, and a total reduction of 15 de- grees. The out of door temperature was at about freezing. If any one visits the experim sit house today, the owner will show bim a crate full of ice—one solid block of about 800 tons weight. The erection of houses of the type required is easily accomplished anywhere and the ice can be manufactured at a cost cf about 5 cents a ton. Rare Eye Disease. A peculiar and fatal disease of the , eye has teen discovered in a 8 -year-old child in Muncie, Ind., the disease being known to the medical fraternity as glioma of the retina. The case is so rare that an eminent French authority quoted in the medical books observed but four cases of the disease in 50,000 people whose defective eyes he had ex- amined. It is a disease in which the optic nerve becomes affected. A turner - ons formation appears in a short time. The disease, if left alone, runs its course in from 10 to 18 months, the victim dying at the end of that time. The progress of the disease is staid sometimes by the patient nnderoging a difficult snrgical operation, in which the brain is laid bare, the eye removed and a portion of the optic nerve de- stroyed. The victim is named Freddie Yoakum, and he is but 8 years old. The chances of a victim recovering from the snrgical operation or even leaving the operating table alive are regarded as being about even. The disease al- ways appears in children below 6 years old.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Largest Bridge. The largest bridge in existence isnot, as one would imagine, the work of some famous English or French engineer. This bridge, comparatively little known, was constructed long ago in China in the reign of the Emperor Being Long. It is sitnated near Sangang and the Yellow sea and measures net lees than eight miles and a half. The Bridge of Lions. as it is called, is supported by 800 immense arches, and ita.fonndation is 21 meters ander water. On each pile of this wonderful bridge is a marble statue of a lion three times larger than life size. The coup d'wil of these 800 enormous lions, each supporting sn arch. is stupendous in its magnificence COFFEE AS A STIMULANT. When Used Moderately, It Is Seldom Injurious. About once in so often the question of coffee drinking being injurious is agitated for awhile, then the agitation subsides and people go on drinking it. According to the hest anthoritiee, coffee taken in moderation ie not only harm- less, but highly beneficial. Its valve as a stimulant has always been recog- nized, and the fact that it is so highly prized as a beverage, if there were no other reason, would go far to prove that it has a powerful influence on the nerv- ous system. The action imparted to the nerves, however, is natural and healthy, and habitual coffee drinkers generally enjoy good health and live to a good old age. For brain workers, declares the Bos- ton Globe, its value cannot be overesti- mated. It has been called the "mental beverage," and, nnlike alcohol, the gen- tle exhilaration it produces is not fol- lowed by any harmful reaction. It causes contentment of mind, allays hunger and bodily weakness and in- creases the capacity fo4r work. It is said that coffee drinkers are happier and more contented than those who abstain from its nee and drink a like quantity of tea. Taken in modera- tion, coffee aids digest'on. ,and to to not in the habit of using it it is often a valuable temporary remedy for par- oxysmal headaches, the peculiar head- ache of Bright's disease and that pro- duced by defects in the eye. The fashionable after dinner coffee not only enables the stomach to per- form its fnnctions with comparative ease, but it relieves that sense of op- pression so often experienced after a hearty meal. The nutritive prcpert°es of coffee have been the subject of considerable dispute, but it is now quite generally recognized that coffee contains essential plopertiee of nutrition far exceeding its exhilarating properties. It enables those who use it to remain a long time without food, as soldiers are often obliged to do in time of war. It also de- creases the sensibility to physical dis- comforts. Its best results are obtained when it is mixed with an equal quantity of pure cream or milk, which forms an alimentary drink ccntaining all the elements of good food, with the addi- tional stimulating effect on the mind and nervous system. Many people have an idea that strong coffee is injurious and that it should be made weak. This is a mistake. Weak coffee is bad, as it contains no nourishment, distends the stomach with liquid and prevents digestion. It should always be taken warm. Iced coffee, like all other iced drinks, is injurious. While coffee should never be taken in the place of food, as it is sometimes by the poorer classes, rich cafe au Tait, with bread, makes a good and suffi- ciently substantial breakfast for people of sedentary occupations. No other meal, however, should be composed of either tea or coffee with bread alone. Coffee is especially a drink for adults of sedentary habits, rather than labor- ing people or children, as its stimulat- ing effect on the mind and imagina- tion is not reqnired by the laboring man and is decidedly harmful to the growing child. Two Large Gas Engines. Gas and oil engine development has not been encouragingly rapid, except where relative small powers are con- cerned, and the large engine of 100 horsepower and more has been slow indeed in convincing the power user that it is the kind of engine which may reasonably be expected to work econom- ically. It is worth nothing, therefore, that a plant of eight large gas engines, four of 260 horsepower and four of 210 horsepower each, has been reported as abont to be installed at the Lot's road pumping station of the London county council, and will thus afford the latesii evidence of the important' work which engines of this class may be expected to successfully perform. The plant will probably be the largest one of the kind in existence.—Cassier's Magazine. ."Corpse -Coins.'" "Corpse coins" are treasured in the north of England.

IRVING TODD & SON. SATURDAY, JUNE 17th. 1899. A Protest. To the Editor of The Gazette: Many of your readers who are public spirited and have the interests of our schools at heart, are surprised at a recent act of the school board, which is published under the name of a ''revised schedule," but which really suggests a lowering of teachers' salaries. Such moves when made by St. Paul or Minneapolis school boards have been called "a reproach to the city." Less than a month ago our citizens, by a vote that was practical- lr unanimous, expressed the truest devotion to the public school, propos- ing to devote a liberal sum for a modern school building. Fortunately, among the economies then promised by the board to gain votes for the bonds nothing was publicly said of reducing teachers' salaries to save expense. Such a proposition would have lost votes rather than gained them. The board called for thirty thou- sand dollars and the people voted the sum loyally. These people are not the ones who have asked for a reduc- tion of the salaries. May the board see fit to reconsider the move made, .and wait until a strong public opinion demands an economy which has always proved false. Wisdom never advises cheap help, nor will she dis- courage faithfulness. In the matter of dollars a cut might seem small, but all men know what the word reduction means to the wage earner. It is always disheart- ening, it takes away confidence, it suggests seeking new employers and it kills enthusiasm in the work. Some of the strong arguments used so successfully a month ago may still stand for interests that are even more important than the housing of pupils. "Our schools are of first rank and must be kept so." "Our taxes are lower than in other places of the same size," and the "Fergus Falls school," which was then so often referred to as the product of a progressive little city, still serves our example; for its lowest salary to a grade teacher is $45 a month. We trust that on second thought, any economy will seem a poor one which belittles by one cent the debt Hastings owes to any self supporting woman who has faithfully served in the work of bringing, and keeping our schools to their present standard. This protest is not made to criticise the school board, for these men have been faithful to our best interests; but the writer, unrelated to any teacher or pupil in the schools, a payer of taxes and interested in the school work, feels that to the majority of our citizens, the lowering of even one teacher's salary means au inevi- table loss to the whole hearted service in which we have had such pride. AN OBSERVER. A Destructive Cyclone. A cyclone struck New Richmond, Wis., last Monday evening, causing great destruction of life and property. The terrible whirling funnel -shaped black cloud struck the centre of the town and passed through the business portion, destroying everything in its path. It was circus day and the town was filled with visitors from the sur- rounding country, and many of these had not started for home, which help- ed to swell the casualty list quite materially. When the storm came they took refuge in the various store buildings, where they met their terri- ble sad fate. At the present time one hundred bodies have been found, which, it is thought, to be the total number killed, with about twice that number injured. Many are being cared for in the hospitals at St. Paul, and relief committees are hard at work in all surrounding cities, collecting money and supplies for the doolned town. It was one of the most devas- tating cyclones on record, and reports are now coming in of more serious damage having been done in neigh- boring Wisconsin towns. The first American volunteers have started for home, the transports New port and Ohio, carrying the Oregon regiment, having sailed on Wednes- day, and are expected to arrive at their destination about July 12th. James R. Hull, Thirteenth Minne- sota, United States volunteers and a correspondent for The Tilnes, has been offered the permanent position of city editor of the Manila Times, at $50 (Mexican) per week. Mr. Hull has filled the position when in Manila heretofore, and is seriously consider- ing acceptance as a permanency. The young gentleman (he is only twenty-four years old) has done good service both as a soldier and as a newspaper man, "at the front," in both capacities. -Minneapolis Times, 10th.

The excursion of the Minnesota Territorial Association to the Dalles of the St. Croix on Thursday was a very successful affair. When the party arrived at Taylor's Falls they were escorted through the town and shown the beauties of the Dalles and the interstate park. During the day an impromptu meeting was held, speeches were made, and taken alto- gether the semi -centennial anniver- sary of the organization of the territory of Minnesota was most fittingly observed. The Rev. W. C. Pope, of St. Paul, was one of those called upon to speak, and he respond- ed as follows: What are we here for? Why do we belong to the Territorial Pioneers? We frequently do things for which it is diffi- cult to assign a reason. I became a mem- ber of the Territorial Pioneers, because a big hearted man. named Hoyt, asked me to, and others acted in like manner, for the same reason. There must be deeper reasons, for the growth of so important an organization as ours. The reasons I give are because we are christians and not heathens. civilized and not barbarians. Minnesotians and not citizens of other states. As christians we are drawn to- gether by the spirit of love, as civilized we are under the influence of organiza- tion. Minnesota is more to us than to those not so long here. God has given us in Minnesota health, friends, food and raiment. As Minnesotians, christians and civilized we are bound together with one society for the promotion of good fel- lowship, and the cultivation of fraternal feeling. God made than and placed him in the garden of Eden, because He loved him and intended him to be happy in this world. For similar reasons we find our- selves in the interstate park, one of the beauty spots of God's footstool. Itis good for us to be here, and may the remem- brance of this day be to us long a happy memory. Those attending from the Grove and this vicinity were: Mr. and Mrs. G. R.

After a few words of welcome from the rector, addresses were made on live missionary topics by the Revs. C. C. Rollit, of Red Wing, and Dr. Johnson, of St. Paul, also by Mrs. H. Baxter, the secretary of the Di- ocesan Board, and by Mrs. Brunson. Both services were largely attended by the parishioners. Many of the visitors expected were detained by the inclemeucy of the weather and washouts. At noon, a reception was given to Mrs. Brunson, the visitors, and the rector, after which a dinner was served to all by the local branch of the Woman's Auxiliary. Anoka and Hastings. Now, that the war between Hast- ings and Anoka is ended for all time, we are able to realize that perhaps the strife was not in vain. Leaving out of account the material _ benefit the two cities will receive in the fu- ture by uniting their forces, perhaps morally we are both gainers. The controversy developed the fact that two worthy foes had met, and the ac- tion of the Hastings people last win- ter when they generously offered to relinquish their claims if the exigen- cies of the occasion seemed to demand it, was an admirably magnanimous action, and showed a spirit of "heral- ity seldom exhibited in these days. Now, nothing but the friendliest feeling exists between the lately war- ring towns; and as before remarked, perhaps after all the game was worth the candle, for it taught to each les- sons that may long and profitably be remembered. Brave minds, howe'er at war, arc secret friends, Their generous discord with the battle ends; In peace they wonder whence dissension rose. And ask how souls so like could e'er be foes. -Anoka Herald.

Trainer West, who is handling Harry Helm's colts is doing some fast driving these days with his young- sters. Last Saturday, May 27th, he stepped the beautiful colt Ontrial, a full mile in 2:54, which was a remark- able mile for a colt that has never stepped a full toile before. Three days later, Ontrial was out again and feeling good. Mr. West thought he would let him go along a little if he was so inclined, and marked out his programme, stepping him slowly to a half and then started him up. This mile he went in 2:44, and the last part of the mile he was going a 2:20 clip, and at no time was there any effort made to drive him faster than he wanted to go. No man ever saw an easier workout so early in the season, and his owner predicts in him another Altoka, 2:13f.-Glendive Independ- ent. Real Estate Transfers. William Maunering to W. B.

This takes the place and does the work of an independent stacker. It oscillates automatically, is easily swung to right angles with the separator to carry the straw to either stack or barn. This stacker has been demonstrated by thorough and practical tests in the field to be the handiest, most efficient swinging stacker ever attached to a thresher. Like every other feature of the Nichols -Shepard SEPARATOR it is strongly and durably made, without any intricate parts to break or get out of order.

A game of base ball will be played at Athletic Park, Rosemount, next Sunday afternoon between the Clip- pers and the Palace Clothing team. The return game between the Hast- ings nine and the St. Paul Athletics, at the latter place last Sunday was called in the middle of the fifth in- ning on account of rain. Score three to one, in favor of St. Paul. Our boys feel confident that had the nine innings been played they would not only have given the Saintly City team a close finish, but there was a good prospect of winning the game. A game will be played at the fair grounds next Wednesday afternoon between the fats and leans. The gate receipts are to go to our band to assist them in _ procuring uniforms, and it is hoped that a large crowd will be present. Prof. C. W. Meyer will be captain of the former and Michael Hoffman of the latter. A rousing good time is guaranteed to all, both players and spectators. Game called at half past three sharp. Hymeneal.

He was looking at the passersby in the plaza. It was easier, and in Mexico the easiest way is the best. He lounged back on ono of the benches, under an orange tfee in full flower, and listened to the birds singing in among the roses and jasmine back of him. Women shuffled by -filthy old hags and young ones with big eyes and. the features of bronze statues -carrying on their heads water jars or baskets full of vegetables and flowers, meat and lard. Peons, in skin tight pantaloons and bright zarapes, all wearing the in- evitable sombrero, jauntily tipped up behind, loitered along, dragging their sandaled feet, or sank down to doze upon the benches. Ladies went by occasional- ly. Gwin surveyed them from the tops of their ill arranged beads to the soles of their wide shoes, wondering what particular untidiness the black shawl might cover for each and searching still, as he had been doing since he had cone to the country a year before, for a bean- ty among the upper classes. He quite longed for the sight of the gennine thing -of some gringa who would step like a queen, in whose figure there wonld be grace and in whose face in- telligence. And presently the longing was satis- fied. She came toward him, crossing the cobbles of the street, lifting her skirt and showing a foot that outdid, if not the traditions, at least the facts of the arched instep of the senorita. She was certainly beautiful. Her hair shone in the sunlight, and her eyes, when she raised them to look up at the cathedral towers -her eyes! -but Gwin thought be bad never seen the like of them. He sat np with the most ener- getic movement he had known in many weeks and watched her. In Mexico it is civil to stare. And Gwin made the most of the license. She came on directly past him now -the beautiful American -and the wonderful eyes rested on him with a glance of recognition of a countryman. She was talking to a man who Gwin hoped-for no particular reason beyond an innate love of the eternally fit - might be her father. And chiefly be- cause he bad nothing to do just then, had had nothing to do for the Past half year and had no prcspects of anything to do for some months ahead , he set about finding out. The gringo has not yet ceased to be an object of interest and comment in Mexico. Gwin walked down to the sta- tion, and a compatriot, ,between expres- sions in profane manner concerning Mexican business i general methods in e r „veal and railroad employees in particular, gave him the information he wanted. "Those people? Oh, that's a Mr. Meredith! Big gun of some sort on some road in the States. Lots of stuff. Here in a private car. Wants to buy mines and things -another darn feel that thinks the land of the Montezn- mas is going to make his eternal for- tune. I'll bet some plaza miner socks it to him -and I hope he does. The oft repeated quien aabe-device of the land -had rasped his temper against all mankind. "Got a party with him?" "Daughter, I believe." And then the disgruntled one launched into the de- tails of his own woe. Gwin listened. He had nothing else to do and no further interest in the tourists. That was what he thought then, as he agreed amiably with all that the fertile tongue of his informant could say about the Greaser, and fin- gered idly that one last silver piece in his side pocket. But upon theday following he thought othewrise, for the silver piece had' dwindled to one much smaller, and he did not fancy the sort of dinner that dos realess will buy. Therefore, when he wandered np. to the American news rgency-which was also barroom and exchange -with the purpose of finding out if there were anything new, and when he saw Mr. Meredith, evidently urged by a like purpose, standing in the doorway, a thought flashed upon him. The owner of a private car, a stranger to the land and to the manifold ways of making an honest living therein of his own countrymen, a would be disposer of much earthly treasure, the father of a beautiful daughter 1 Gwin made his step brisk, and puck- ered his frank, boyish brow to sdggest a brown study, a preoccupation so deep that he had almost run into the pluto- crat before he saw him. Then he raised his hat with a cheerful recognition, cut somewhat short by other concerns. "Has a man named Storms been here yet?" he asked of the thin German who was putting aside Times and Her- alds and Suns for regular subscribers. The tone had a ring of business which startled the German and made Mr. Meredith prick up his ears ttie while he read headlines. Next to the strains of his national anthem, no sound so stirs the soul of the American in for- eign parts as that of a sharp, decided Yankee voice. The German said that, so far as he knew, no man named Storms had been in. Gwin wondered if the fellow ex- pected him to do things on Greaser principles and to wait half a day, losing of time and money. And then he we back to the door. There was anoth American there besides the owner the private car-Gwin knew him - little furtive as to eyes, a little seedy to cictbes, a little ragged as to bear but benign and guileless withal. "I say," said (win, "do you know fellow called Storms, Bennett ?" Bennett shook bis head and answe ed, "Nit," indifferently. "He has come down here," Gw went on, "to see about my report o the mine." Bennett looked np and met Gwin eyes and recognized a neophyte -on who, driven perhaps by need, perha by natural tastes, was about to join t brotherhood. "If I report favorably, his peep will buy," Gwin continued -"that i they will if my company consents t sell at $250,000, which I shall not a vise. That El Rico lode" -he had no hesitated for the name, and be began t enjoy his own invention. He went o recklessly, for he could feel that th owner of the private car bad etoppe turning over the sheets of his newspa per and was listening. And his speec blossomed forth in stopes, flake rock running ground, stasis, dips and crib -all the vocabulary of his theoretica mining course. But ever and anon h recurred to the richness of the El Ric vein. "I shall advise against a sale," be re peated. "In my opinion, my compan can, by a small expenditure, realize large amount. Timbering will not b expensive -drift gravel ground larges -and it is my belief it will prove th richest mine in Mexico." The plaza miner was good natured He agreed and helped along the effec by references to Gwin's unusual experi ince and honesty. Then he withdrew and Gwin palled out his watch an frowned. He tapped his fort impatient ly on the pavement, and his nice, boy ish face grew black. The plutocrat rea his paper and cast glances at Gwin be tween paragraphs. Then he approached It began with the question as t bow long you have been here and ende with an invitation to lunch in the pri vete car. Gwin considered and connte his minutes and decided that he migh spare the time. He accepted. It was all an irridescent dream. H sat back in the upholstered seats and held his month open. The plums fel into it. Miss Meredith was as amiable as she was beautiful. The plutocra evinced a marked interest in mines. The Chinaman cook's hot biscuits breathed of home and the past in their odorous steam. And Mr. Meredith ask- ed him to come again. "We shall be here a week, possibly. And if your man Storms doesn't come to time, I might like to take a look at the Rico myself," he said. Storms did not come to time, and Gwin took Mr. Meredith to the mine. He raised $10 and engaged the horses and dressed himself in the charro suit that he had bought in the first days, when he had been !josh and all things had been new and picturesque. The snit was pictnresque still. The short jacket set off his broad shoulders and the skin tight pantaloons his height, the sombrero added stern daring to his open countenance, while the knife in its leather case, hanging from his belt, and the revolver showing from his hip - pocket wrought the effect to its highest pitch. Miss Meredith -who was to stay with friends at the hotel during her father's absence -showed her admiration. She let Gwin hold o d her hand rather long and bard, and under the influence of the bowie knife and the revolver she trem- bled a little and raised the beautiful eyes to his. "Yon won't let anything happen to father?" she begged. Gwin reassured her. He wondered how much of the anxiety might reasonably be por- tioned off to "father." And he found himself wondering that pretty steadily as he rode with the man of Pullman cars beside him, sitting uneasily the scrawny little horse. It was the season of the rains, when the land is most beautiful and least vis- ited. They broke their way through flowers, pink, white, pnrple, blue, scar- let and yellow; the blossoms brnshed against their hands and met across the pommels. The trees were gay with blue morning glory and great tufts of orange and scarlet parasite. After that they began to climb mountains, and Gwin began to wish himself well out of it. He had started without knowing just why, half recklessly, half to see what would happen. He was seeing now. In rather less than n week he was thinking all day of a girl -it might even be that she was thinking of him. He had taken in a kindly disposed man -lied to him while he broke his bread. He himself was a fraud, and if he car- ried it ont to the end would be a crim- inal. If he did not, she wonld know. She would know in any case, sooner or later. He groaned as he grabbed his horse's mane while they scrambled up the mountain side. They came to the mine at length, as many another plaza miner and his prey bad done before them. There was a timbered entrance and some yards of tunnel. Gwin had lost his taste for the thing, but the impossibility of turning and squarely facing with the truth this man, whom he had brought -thirty odd leagues on horseback, was manifest. He enlarged convincingly on the wealth in beyond that black bole. He dng out a handful cf soft rock with his knife and pointed to silver where none was. His face was more scarlet than the sunburn. He lied with that glibness which arises from not knowing where your next in- spiration le coming from, and he was immensely convincing. "But of cor,ree I shall have to have my own experts," Mr. Meredith said half apologetically. "Of course," agreed Gwin briskly, with a sinking heart. And then they rode back. Gwin was somewhat silent He was figuring upon how a man N$ho has nine silver dollars in the world can beat get ont of a coun- try, but he ceased to calculate when Miss Meredith welcomed him with tears in her eyes -tears of thankfulness for his having kept her father in safety. Gwin rather encouraged ter belief that they had ridden into the open jaws of danger and accepted an invitation to run np to Mexico on the private car. A day and a half took them to the city, and a day took Gwin and Miss Meredith far along the rose strewn path fancy. Gwin had no such intention in the morning, and by night he had told Miss Meredith that he loved her. It was all part of the chance game. They sat in the moonlight upon the back steps of the car, rushing along.; a level height -a plateau from which they seemed to look down on mountain ranges and up to only the vapory white smoke from the wood fed engine and the stars. For two hours Gwin forgot all things save that a beautiful girl loved him -a girl who was to him not only herself, but the embodiment of all he had left behind -of college, of coin- panionehip, of hope for the future, of honest work, of home and civilization. For these more than for the great, soft eyes she raised to him; more than for the cold little hand she slipped into his, be loved her. And he thrust aside mem- ory -the memory which whispered steadily, like the roar of the wind in his ears -that life was not all tonight; that tomorrow must conte -with the experts. The experts sat in their office wait- ing. They bad already waited an hour and a half, and, making every allow ance for the customs of the country, the time seemed to them too long. Mr. Meredith drew out his watch and frowned, very much as Gwin bad done in front of the American news agency ten days before. Miss Meredith alter- nated between a map which hong against the whitewashed wall and the window. "Mr. --?" began one of the ex- perts. "Mr. Gwin." the plutocrat supplied ungraciously. "Mr. Gwin may have been detained or there may have been some misunder- standing as to the place of meeting." Mr. Meredith resented the flicker of a smile that played in the expert's eyes. It made hila vaguely uneasy. He did not answer. Another half boor lagged by. Ex- pansion, the "open door," the fntnre of China, the Americanizing of Mexico. bad risen for discussion, together with lesser topics, and bad been laid away. There was a long pause. "May I ask," suggested the expert suavely, balancing a pencil judicionely between his fingers, "may I ask if Mr. Gwin was recommended to you by re- sponsible parties ? The situation was not so new to the experts as it appeared from the deepen- ing purple of his face to be to Mr. Mer- edith. He explained majestically. The flickering smile grew into a steady twinkle. "And you say Mr. Gwin took yon to see the mine. Do yon know where it was situated and what was its appear- ance?" Mr. Meredith explained that also, rather less majestically, for the smile bad spread to the lips of both experts. They looked at one another. and then cue spoke. "Well, Mr. Meredith," he began, leaning beck in his chair and reaching out for a paper cutter wherewith to tap the desk, "I do not want to do the yonng gentleman any injustice, of course, but if I were you I shouldn't set my heart upon seeing hint again." He was a practical man, but he knew that the girl had turned from the study of the map and that her face was white. He hesitated. "Well i" asked Mr. Meredith sharply. "Well, my dear sir, the mine yen describe is not entirely unknown to us. It has gone by various names -as many as there are miners who conduct their operations and observations front the benches of the plazas in that part of Mexico. The right name is La Conchita -or was before the misguided men who tried to work it abandoned it as a bad job. I am sorry, Mr. Meredith, I and very sorry. but I fear we mast add Mr. Gwin's name to the already fat list of plaza miller+." And in the eilence that followed he glanced toward the window, where a shaking hand was playing a tattoo un- evenly upon the pane. -Argonaut. A Queer Snake. Where I was raised, in north Louisi- ana, ecach n hipsnakes were common, and I have frequently watched them. When not alarmed, the snake glides along with about two-thirds of its body extended on the ground and the head and neck raised in a graceful curve, like the prow of a ship. There is some- thing indescribably smooth and swan- like in its progress, and all the motion perceptible is a slight ripple along the spine. Dot the moment the coach whip is frightened it presents qnite a differ- ent picture. The head is instantly low- ered, and the whole body stretches out as straight as a ramrod. Everything about it suggests speed, and it skims over the ground like an arrow from a bow. How it does it is a mystery. I sup- pose, as a matter of fact, that the oper- ation is immensely subtle and compli- cated and that the motion is derived from a series of writhing and contrac- tions, but if eo they are so slight and so swift that the human eye cannot fol- low them. I have studied the snakes in flight time and again, and I could neve! see that they deviated a fraction of an inch from a straight line. -New Or- leans Times -Democrat. Ornamental Lightning Rod.

As the manager of a large insurance company sat at his desk the representa- tive of another company walked hi, The caller was a man to he cultivated, but Mr. H. could not for the life of him think of his name, although he had met him before. But the Chicago man was one of many resources. "I beg your pardon," be said to his caller, after the first hasty greeting, "butyou will excuse me for an instant11 send a message I have just start It is on a matter of much importance." "Certainly," said the caller. "It'll take just an instant," said Mr. H. as he turned to his desk and wrote hastily on a sheet of paper: "What is the name of the man I'm talking to? If you don't know name, find out and answer at once by boy. H." The busi- ness man addressed the message to his chief clerk in the outer office and hand- ed it to his office boy, saying: "Hurry and deliver this note, Archie; it is most important." Mr. H. busied himself with his pa- pers, and in a few moments the boy re- turned with an answer. Hastily tearing open the envel4itpe, Mr. H. read, "Jen- kins, of the -- Insurance company." Throwing aside the note, the Chicago man turned blandly to his caller. "Ah, that bit of bnsiness is off niy mind now 1 In what way can I be of service to you, Mr. Jenkins? It is a long time since we have been honored with a call from the -- Insurance company. "-Chicago Journal. How He Worked the Artist. This account of how an intimate friend of the great artist Kyosai obtain- ed one of the painter's drawings is from Mrs. Hugh Frazer's "Letters from Japan:" Kyosai always refused if asked out- right for a sketch. So his friend began the negotiation by offering the artist an excellent dinner. When Kyosai had drunk deeply and seemed in a mellow humor, his host would call for drawing materials, saying that he felt an artis- tic fancy taking possession of him. No one was surprised, as Japanese gentle- men often amuse themselves in this way after a feast. The servant then brought an enormous sheet of white paper and spread it on the floor with the brushes and Indian ink beside it. The crafty host, without looking at his guest, sank on his knees and began to draw, apparently absorbed in his oc- cupation, but intentionally producing few weak and iucoherent lines. Kyosai watched the feeble effort in silence and growing irritation, and at last jumped up, dashed the tyro aside and tore the brush out of his hand, exclaiming: "Out of the way, you wretched bnn- gier! I will teach you how to draw !" And the result was a priceless sketch, which remained in the possession of the wily entertainer. A Card Table Itomance. Speaking of the mania of some So- ciety women for gambling, a story is told of an interesting card playing ro- mance which was recently enacted in London: A very rich man sat playing ecarte with a pretty girl whom be intensely admired. She went on recklessly stak- ing her motley till ruin stared her in the face. "Doubles orgnits,"said the tempter. She assented, knowing that she could never pay. She lost. "Yourself or quits." said her oppon- ent. Again theg irlsmmr toned all her wits and looked him ...raight in the face. "Aro you proposing to marry me?" she asked. He nodded. He won the game, and the pair made one of the happiest unions known in England at the present day. -Paris Herald. A Peculiar Plant. There is a strange wild plant in Guadeloupe called the "life plant." If a leaf be broken off and pinned by the stem to the wall of a warm room, each of the angles between the curves of the leaf margin soon throws out a number of very white tentacles, or roots, and soon a tiny new plant begins to sprout, and in the course of a week cr two at- tains a height of two or three inches. When the old leaf shrivels, the new plant is cut off and planted. When carefully cultivated, the life plant pro- duces cnrious red and yellow blossoms. While the plant is native only in a warm country, there is no doubt that it could be successfully grown in any greenhonse, and as a plant freak it cer- tainly is as interesting as the everlast- ing plant of Mexico. -Cincinnati En- quirer. Papers That Should Be Encouraged. When you are convinced that a paper is dishonest and deceitful, stop it. When convinced that it is unclean, stop it. When it lacks enterprise and fails to give you the news, stop it. But don't stop a paper that yon believe to be hon- est, courageous, enterprising and clean, simply because its editor has written his own sincere views, instead of yonre or somebody else's, for if you do you are putting a preminm on insincere journalism and serving notice on an editor that the way to success is to write what he thinks will best please his readers, instead of what he honestly believes to be the truth. -Connersville (Ind.) Times. Value of Water Power. Notwithstanding the advent of steam as a practical source of power in the last century and the enormous develop- ment that has taken place in its use, water power, under favorable condi- tions, continues to be the best and cheapest obtainable, and, with the ex- ception of wind, it is the only one in nature ready made. If it were suggested rs a practicable method of raising wa- ter to evaporate it first and condense it at a higher level afterward, I am afraid the sanity of the engineer responsible for the suggestion would be questioned, and yet on the great scale of nature this crude though direct method bas given us a perennial supply of power greater beyond measure 'than that con- tained in all the coal in the world. - Exchange. sieved.

They will always stop to look at the light, sometimes even approach it, giving the hunter his opportunity. A rabbit watching a hawk soaring above its bead bas been known to be- come so absorbed that a man approach- ing can pick it np with his hand. Monkeys are similarly affected by the snake. A monkey has been known to drop in a dead faint in front of a ser- pent's jaws. It is, however, a curious fact that birds and small animals fed to a snake in zoological gardens do not seem to feel hypnosis. Perhaps the snake doesn't feel it worth while to ex- ercise its power. White Tigers. A white tiger is not often heard of, and in these days of skepticism the ex- istence of such would be denied by many, or accounts of its dicovery would at least be received with extreme cau- tion. That there have been well authen- ticated cases of complete or partial al- binoism in tigers, however, admits of no doubt. There is Major D. Robinson's specimen (11 feet 9% inches), shot at Poona, and the skin of one was exhib- ited, if we remember rightly, some nine or ten years ago in London, to go no further back fez records. Now we have another. instance in the tiger re- cently shot in the Dibrnghar district, Assam, by Mr. Greenish of Nahorkntia. We have inspected the skin and aro inclined to think that in this latest in- stance we have probably the most per- fect specimen of the white tiger ever obtained. Tho hair is perfectly white, the black stripes being in the skin and only visible when the hair is wet, like the body markings on a fox terrier. The skin measures abont 9 feet 6 inches from tip to tip and evidently belonged to a fine young tiger in good condition. -Asian. A Carious Coincidence. One day a party of woolen were being shown abont various buildings of the University of Chicago. The principal personage in the party was an Ameri- can woman who lives in Berlin. She had been visiting friends in Chicago for a week, and ever singe her arrival she bad been trying to remember the name of a Chicago woman whom she had ret in Berlin. She was anxions to see this woman, but her name and address bad totally escaped her memory. As the party entered Cobb hall some- thing stirred the right chord, and she came to a full stop in the doorway, say- ing: "There! That name has come to me. It's Mrs. --." Scarcely had she said the words when the door of one of the offices opened and the woman in question walked into the hallway, not ten feet from the visitor from Berlin. The party marveled much over the coincidence. The general opin- ion was that the presence of the woman in the building made itself known in some mysterious way to the visitor's subjective mind. But no one attempted to explain it. -Chicago Inter Ocean. Some Railway Espenses. Cassier's Magazine contains the fol- lowing concerning some of the expenses of a large railway company That a great railway company is called upon to expend annnally im- mense sums of money for what seem to be comparatively trifling details of its business was forcibly illustrated recent- lybyDr.Charles ales B. Dudley, chisf chemist of the Pennsylvania railroad, in a lecture at Purdue university. He said that the purchasing agent of the Pennsylvania railroad spends from $17,000,000 to $20,000,000 a year, and of that amount about $5,000 goes for rubber bands, $7,000 for lead pencils, $1,000 for pins, $5,000 for ink, $2,000 for toilet soap, $1,000,000 for lumber and $60,000 for hose. Attention was called to the very interesting fact that it costs nearly as much for stationery with which to carry on the business of the road as it does for iron. More Ways Than One. "Either things have changed since 1 was a girl," said an elderly woman, "or men and women sew differently. I know I was taught to sew most careful- ly, and the one thing that was im- pressed upon my mind was that I must take short needlefnls of ,thread. That was to save time and energy, and the thread was in better condition to put into the work when it bad not been drawn through so many times. But the other day I happened to see the men sewing at a ladies' tailor's where they make the most beautiful gowns, and such needlefnls of thread and silk as I saw 1 A big man with a long arm in taking a stitch would pull out his thread as far as he could reach, and that must have been at least a yard.

Prone the Biblical Story of the Crea- tion Doan It Plays a Mighty Part In Folklore, Tradition, Supersti- tion and Hlatory. Clean birds by sevens, Unclean by twos, The dove in the heavens la the one that I choose. But not wily do the bird auguries go by sevens; the number plays a mighty part In folklore, tradition and his- tory. Six days made the world, and God rested on the seventh day and hal- lowed It. In the seventh month Noah's ark touched the ground; in seven days a dove was sent out on the face of the waters. Abraham pleaded with God seven times for Sodom's sake before God smote the city of wickedness to her undoing. Seven days Jacob mourned for Jo- seph and would not be comforted; sev- en years and lev�e Jacob served for Rachel, and in Joseph's governorship of Egypt the chief butler and baker dreamed dreams wherein seven fat oxen and seven lean oxen, seven ears of full corn and seven ears of mildew- ed corn played a prominent part and foreboded the 14 years of plenty and of famine that were in store for the Land of the Two Crowns, even the land of the house of bondage, the land of Egypt. Every seventh day the law was read to the wandering children of Israel, anti Jericho, the strong city, fell. wall and tower. when seven men had paced around It for seven days. Solomon was seven bears building the splendid temple, with all its glories of gold and cedar wood, tur- quoise and terebinth. There were sev- en lamps in the tabernacle, and the golden candlebttck had seven branches. Naaman washed himself seven times in the river Jordan before the healing water cleansed him of his lep- rosy. The Apocalypse is full of the mystic number, and on the cross our Saviour hung for seven hours, and from the cross our Saviour spoke sev- en times. The seventh son of a seventh son is a born doctor, according to Irish belief, but he must never take money for the cures he achieves, and to insure re- covery he should be sought before sun- rise or after sunset on Friday. "It is manifest by experience that the sev- enth male childe, by just order (never • wrench being b„rn between), doth beat ouly with touching, through a natural gift, the king's evil; which is a speclall gifte of God, given to kinges and queenes, as daily experience doth witnesse." There were seven wise men and seven wonders of the world; while the ancients not only noted the importance of seven as an astronom- ical period, but also connected the sev- en metals then known with the seven planets and the seven colors. Thus copper belonged to Venus, and the color green; lead to Saturn, and the color blue; gold and yellow to the sun, and so on. The seven days of the week are con- nected with the seven pleiades, of whom the seventh is a lost star, and the seventh wave of a series is full of danger to ships, as every seventh year Is to man. For seven years the mis- chievous sprite, Friar Rush, lived with the Seelaud monks, beguiling the time by cutting oak cudgels, which, when struck on the ground, turned into sol- diers armed cap -a -pie, and for seven years Prince charming looks for his lost bride, or Cap -o' -Rushes works dis- guised In the kitchens of the palace, or the forsaken princess tries to climb the glass mountain which lies between her and her lover, who hqs drunk of the water of forgetfulndks.

A ROPE OF WORMS. Tke Curious Prseppeesslon That May 1� Si- Seen In N6rway Forests. In the deep pine forests of Norway the woodcutters sometimes find a ser- pentine object nearly 50 feet long crawling slowly over the ground. If they did not know that it was made up of millions of little worms, they might be frightened by its peculiar appearance. These worms, called the sclera, gather during July and August in large numbers preparatory.:to mi- grating in search of food or for change of condition. When setting out on this journey, they stick themselves together and form a huge serpentllke masa, often reaching a length ot be - between 40 and 50 feet and several inches in thickness. As the sclU!a is only on an average about three thirty-seconds of an inch in length and barely wider than a fine needle, the number required to com- pose a line of the sire above men- tioned is enormous. Their pace Is very slow, and upon meeting an ob- stacle, such as a stick or stone, they is will either writhe over or around it, a sometimes breaking into two bodies h for this purpose. M. Guerin-Menevllle, a celebrated 'a Drench naturaIistrsays that if the rear 18 portion of this wonderful snakelike e procession be brought into contact s, with the front part and a sort of circle a formed the insects will keep moving d round and round in that circle for hours and hours without apparently noticing that they are not getting on in their journey. If the procession be broken in two, the portions will re- unite in a short time. The Norwegian peasants, when they meet one of these trains, will lay some article of their clothing, such as a belt or handkerchlet, on the ground in front of It. If the procession passes over it, it la regarded as a good sign; but 1f It makes a way round, the re- verse Is belleved.—Chicago Record. He Rune His Prey to Water Iaetead R of to E*rtb.-ow the Stowaways Get Aboard Akip and How They Generally Coxae to Grief. Down by the city's sea wall a qu man pursues a queer vocation. He is water front "character," and his bus Hess Is the sleuthing of stowaways. He doesn't run his prey to eart however, after the manner of oth hunters of human game. He runs it water. This weather hardened, wrinkled man le at once the terror and the friend would be stowaways. He is known 'Captain Jail:, but his name has half dozen variations, all of which smack the salt, salt sea. These are some his aliases: Wharf Rat, Water Fow Sea Dog, Wha?r. Old Man Jack a The Boatman. His stock in trade consists of h shrewdness in "spotting a stow" and battered but seaworthy old boat whlc rides the water by night and da through successive seasons. The town attractions do not lure Mw from h long accustomed haunts among th masts, figureheads, piers and pile sails, nets, stringers and multltudinoa varieties of merchandise that crow the bay's edge. Captain Jack came out of his sea shell of reserve long enough the othe day to tell a bit of what he kni about that venturesome creature o chance, the stowaway, who woul fain voyage out of port without th previous formality of paying for pas senger privileges. "I've been in this business a l time," he said, "an I can gen'rall spot a 'stow.' "Different ones has different meth ods. Some hangs round the dock afore a ship sails, offerin to lend hand, or proposfn to work a passag somewheres. When they find thi don't go the way they want it to, the commence to talk big—inquire 'bon sea weather, the cost of a cruise, th time it takes to git to the Islands o Alaska or Panama.

An Iter all that bother I've had to bring em back again, for nary a red did they ave. n' "This class of deadheads is gerally upplled with clothes, gripsacks, hat xes, steamer trunks, canes, umbrel as, cameras, toldin chairs an some mes a servant." "Nota valet?" "Sure. That's what we sailors call uttin on a terrible lot of dog. Them's be fellers that always has friends mong guvnors, rajahs, lords, dukes an consuls, an likewise money to burn —but always across the water some- wheres. I don't mind the men, but i ate to tackle a woman." "Women stowaways?" "Sure. When the Klondike boom was on, I used to bring In as many -omen as men. Some was only rls—little slim things, gotn to the cy gold mines with no more outfit han the thin clothes they stood in. "'The easiest part of the stow's plan n makin an escape is the glttin aboard. obody knows who's who the day ship's leavin port. If she's crowded much the better. The stow can ide in the hold without beln spied. ut lt'e mighty hard to git past the eada, for by that time the ship's been searched an the stows yanked out n deck." Captain Jack spoke truly. The towaway who passes the Heade has un the gantlet safely—unless an in owing vessel be at hand to convey e Intruder back again. When the final gong has been sound- , the warning "All visitors aihorer' ven, the gangplank withdrawn, be last rope loosened and the screw urned, the vessel's Interior is cwre- uily explored. Meanwhile Captain ack's weather beaten boat le speed - g in its wake. If a stowaway be iscovered a signal is sent from the pilot's bridge and Captain Jack Is lckly alongside. A rope ladder is wered, and toward it the purser or her officer and his aids eecort the acomfited '•stow." "Every day," continued Jack, "1 teb In men au women that want to t away.

PLAYING POWER. Just How Great a Force In Expended en the Piano. The amount of power expended on playing on a piano has recently been figured out In a way which, If not alto- gether accurate, 1s at least interesting. Commenting on the statement that It really requires more force to sound a note gently on this Instrument than it does to lift the lid of a kettle, says Wo- man's Life. It 1e easy to verify it, 1f one takes a small handful of coins and piles them on a key of a piano. When a sumclent Quantity is plied on to make a note sound, they may be weighed, and the figures will be found to be true. If the pianist is playing fortissimo, a much greater force is needed. At times the force of six pounds is thrown upon a single key to produce a solitary effect. With chords the force is generally spread over the various notes sounded simultaneously, though a greater out- put of force is undoubtedly expended. Thls is what gives pianists the won- derful strength In their fingers that Is often commented on. One of Chopin's compositions has a passage which takes two minutes and five seconds to play. The total pres- sure brought to bear on this, it is es- timated, is equal to three full tons. The average "tonnage" of an hour's playing of Chopin's mode varies from 12 to 84 tons. The Landlord Outwitted. In the main hall of one tenement, on the ground floor, we counted 17 chil- dren, says Jacob A. Rile in The Atlan- tic. The facts of life here suspend or- dinary landlgd prejudices to a certain extent. Occasionally It Is the tenant who suspends them. The policemaa laughed as he told me of the case of a mother who covet- ed a fiat into which she well knew her family would not be admitted. The landlord was particular. She knocked, with a troubled face alone. Tee, the flat was to let. Had she any children? The woman heaved a sigh. "Six, but they are all in Greenwood." The landlord's heart was touched by such woe. He let her have the flat. By night he was amased to dada flock of half a dozen robust youngsters dom- kNted under his roof. They had indeed been in Greenwood, but they bad copse back from the cemetery to stay. And stay they did, the rent being paid.

The nice adjustment necessary in the various parts of the immense engines now imployed for some of the trains on our great railway lines may be indi- cated by a few data of the work per- formed by these parts when the loco- motive is worked at high speed. Thus, in the case of a passenger engine at 00 miles an hour, a driving wheel of 534 feet diameter revolves five times ev- ery second, and, this being so, the re- ciprocating parts of each cylinder, In- cluding one piston rod, crosshead and connecting rod, weighing about 850 pounds, must move back and forth a distance equal to the stroke, say 2 feet, every time the wheel revolves, or in the fifth of a silcond; this weight starts from a state of rest at the end of each stroke of the piston and must acquire a velocity of 32 feet per second In one -twentieth of a second, and must be brought to a state of rest in the same period of time. A piston 18 inch- es in diameter has an area of 254% square inches; steam of 180 pounds pressure per square Web would there- fore exert a force on the piston equal to 38,175 pounds, which force is ap- plied alternately on each side of the piston ten times In a second.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Can You Indulge In Thief "During the day every one should take a few minutes' sleep, preferably directly after the noon meal," writes Edward B. Warman in The Ladies' Home Journal. "The time given to it may seem too precious for one In busi- ness, but 1t will be more than compen- sated for by the mental and bodily condition that follows. Sit in an easy chair. Lying down directly after a meal crowds ithe digestive organs and makes one's sleep restless instead of restful. Rest the head comfortably. Tip the chair to a pleasant angle for the body, not enough to have the weight of the body on the back. Place the feet on a chair as high or a tribe higher than the one upon which you are sitting; cross the limbs at the ankle joints, close the hands together by interlacing the fingers, place the fleshy part of the thumbs together in order to avoid grasping the hands too tightly and close the eyes. Having thus closed the circuit, It will be nec- essary to relieve yourself of all nerv- ous and muscular tension. Think only et your slow, measured breathing and the desire for a restful sleep."

The Chicago girl that knows her business --and where Is there one who doesn't!—has an album or card case devoted exclusively to a collection of pictures of the one person whom she thinks more of than anybody else in the world—namely, herself. 4rhere are several laws regulating the collection of a personal gallery of this kind. In the lint place, no two pictures shall be alike; what is equally important, no two shall be taken 1n the same town. From a glimpse at this second condi- tion, It is obvious that the young wo- man who has a popular collection of her own photographs must be some- thing of a traveler. In order to give added interest to this pursuit of herself in miniature, each photograph is stamped in violet ink, with the name of the town where taken, the name of the artist and the date of the sitting. There are also margins for recording any other inci- dents connected with the occasion that may be considered worthy of note. In this way the business of photo- graph collecting is kept on a system- atic, methodical basis, and the book of photographs becomes an abridged bio- graphical history of travels in an in- definite number of chapters. It Is evident that the more pictures it con- tains the more comprehensive will be the text, hence the ambition of every young woman possessed with the craze to become a globe trotter. There are a few standard towns that are absolutely necessary to the reputa- tion of any album, such as Chicago, New York, Niagara and the prominent intermediate points. Beyond these, the more distant and romantic the places the greater the interest attach- ed to these pictorial hiatories of the world as seen through a maiden'% eyes. --Chicago Times -Herald. Maryland Superstitious. There are superstitions throughout all the counties of Maryland concern- ing crossroads and running water. Witches are supposed to make their home at the crossing of two roads and to appear there at midnight. One pe- culiar thing about witches Is that they cannot get across running water, and a stream of any sort always acts as a protection to the nightly prowler, who will follow along the bank of a stream in preference to the road. These are some of the things which are more generally believed In the country around Washington and along the eastern shore. Some of the arti- cles of the creed of the superstitious in that neighborhood are: If you sweep your room at night, you sweep away your wealth. Never shake crumbs out of a win- dow atter dark. They are supposed to fall into the eyes of the Lord a. 1 to disturb the spirits of the dead who wander abroad at night. Don't wash your bands in water in which eggs have been boiled. You are liable to become covered with warts.—Baltimore Sun. Sly Old Commodore.

"A long time ago, when I was a mite of a boy," said Edison, "I, with two other little fellows, had saved up a lot of scrap iron and tin and zinc which we meant to sell when the holidays came around. There was a large boy to the neighborhood (I think he must have become a bunko steerer after- ward) who knew of our hoard. One day when we had been to swimming_ he came to us and said: "'Say, you fellows, if you will give me that tin and iron and stuff you have, I'll teach you how to chew.' `The proposition struck u8 as being very fair, partleularly as he agreed to furnish the tobacco. Well, we were quite wilting, so he brought some Ca- nadian cut down to a sand bank by the river. He divided the stuff into three parts and gave us each one. Then he said: "'Now you must do exactly as I say, and you must do it right away, or you'll never learn to chew. "'Now, then,' he shouted, 'hold up!' "We held it up. "'Put It in your mouth!' he yelled. "We put It in. "'Chew!' be hissed dramatically. "We worked away at a great rate. " `Swallow 111' he screeched.

Localities Where the Precioas Metal Deposits Itself Annually. There are several localities where gold may be said to grow every year or, in other words, where fresh depos- its of the precious metal are to be found annually. One such district is in the Edmonton country, In the Canadian northwest, where, after the spring floods, from the same banks and "benches" of the Sas- katchewan river there are taken every year considerable quantities of gold by a few diggers, who make their living out of the business. But the most conspicuous and inter- esting case of this sort Is to be seen near Ichang, In the province of Hupeh, in China. For many centuries past each year gold has been washed from the banks of coarse gravel on both sides of the river Han, and in the midst of the auriferous district there is an ancient town called LI-klu-tien, which means "gold diggers' inn." Its inhabitants subdivide the gold bearing ground among themselves annually, staking out their claims with parti- tions. They pay no royalty and ap- pear to earn no more than a bare sub- I sistence. But this may be doubted, as John Chinaman is an adept at "layin low and sayln nufiin." The annual river floods bring down millions of tons of mud and sand from the mountains, and this mud and sand, which Is charged with gold, both "fine" and . in flakes, Is deposited to a depth of six Inches or more on the banks of gravel. It Is in the winter that the gold Is washed, and 1t is said that sev- en men work about 20 tons of "pay dirt" in a day.—Cincinnati Enquirer. They Would Get There.

He sleeps with his glass eye In a tumbler, and there a friend found it one morning. The sight suggested a practical joke—put the eye in Mr. a.'S overcoat pocket. Done! When the friend departed, being short of money. for the moment—he pawned his own overcoat for $10. In the afternoon there came an urgent telegram to Mr. X., who had been unable to leave his room on account of the missing eye and whose frame of mind was all dis- torted and warped. The friend frank- ly confessed: "Bill, I meant it only as a simple joke. You will find your eye in your overcoat pocket." But it was not there. "It must be, because I put it there myself," urged the joker. The coat was held up by the tail and shaken. "By thunder! I wonder if I could have put it in my own coat?" "Where's your coat?" "I've pawued it. I didn't want to borrow and needed a few dollars." "How much is it In for?" "Ten dollars." Mr. R. produced $10 and the coat was redeemed. The eye was in the inside pocket. He carefully washed it,. v ; — ped it tato- place said Walker out after 12 hours of solitary confinement. Odd Things In Whisky Making. "There are lots of queer things about the whisky business," said an expert the other night, "and one of the queer- est is the peculiar quality that a dis- tillery, for no apparent cause, will lend to its output. The thing has never been explained, but, nevertheless, it's an undeniable fact. I knew a distiller who sold his old plant and moved to a more desirable locality, where he tried to put up an exact duplicate. He even went so far as to smash a couple of windows that happened to be broken in the old establishment,' but It was no go; he couldn't make the same kind of whisky to save his soul. "This same difficulty has destroyed ' the usefulness of many a valuable brand. Another singular phenomenon is the impossibility of making a good Bourbon whisky east of Kentucky as a good rye west of the Alleghanies. I speak in broad terms. Apparently the feat has been accomplished_ a few times, but investigation has always developed the fact that the makers of seaboard Bourbon were of blue grass origin and the chaps who succeeded in turning out an inland rye were aliens from the east.

He was born in Prussia, province of Rhine, in 1826, and emigrated to America in 1855. He located in Hastings in 1856, and took up a residence at Hampton in 1858, where he engaged in farming. Mr. Gores was town clerk of Hampton for about seven years, and when New Trier was in- corporated he was appointed post- master, and held the position eight years. He was also engaged in the general merchandise business in that town. He was married in New Trier to Miss Margaret Wolf, who, with two sons and three daughters, Nicho- las P., of New Trier, Frank E., of Wa- dena, Mrs. N. II. Gergen, of this city, Mrs. J. V. Yanz, of Staples, and Miss Rosa, the latter attending the Notre Dame convent at Milwaukee, survive him. Mr. Gores removed from New Trier to Wadena in 1886, where he engaged in the mercantile business. The funeral was held in Wadena on Monday. AN OLD GORMANDIZER. One Man Wil0 Lived That He Might Simply Bat and Drink. In a little yellowed English maga- zine, dated April, 1804, I came across the following amusing scrap: If the Duke of Q- does not ex- tend his life to a still longer period, it will not be for want of culinary com- forts and those other succulent arts by which longevity is best promoted. His grace's sustenance is thus daily administered: "At 7 in the morning he regales in a warm milk bath, perfumed with al- mond powder, where he takes his coffee and a buttered muffin, and aft- erward retires to bed. He rises about 9 and breakfasts on cafe au lait, with new laid eggs Just parboiled; at 11 he Is presented with two warm jellies and rusques; at 1 he takes a veal cut- let a la Maintenon; at 3 jellies and eggs repeat; at 5 a cup of chocolate and rusques; at 7:30 he takes a hearty dinner from high seasoned dishes, and makes suitable libations of claret and madeira; at 10, tea, coffee and muf- fins; at 12 sups off a roast poulet, with a plentiful solution of lime punch; at 1 in the morning he retires to bed in high spirits and sleeps till 8, when his man cook, to the moment, waits upon him in person with a hot and savory veal cutlet, which, with a potation of wine and water, prepares him for further repose, that continues gener- ally uninterrupted till the morning summons to his lacteal bath. "In this routine of living comforts are the four and 20 hours invariably divided; so that if his grace does not know, with Sir Toby Belch, 'that our life is composed of four elements,' he knows at least, with Sir Ague Cheek, 'that it consists in eating and drink - ingpt How's This.

There is, it is true, as great an in- equality in the inheritance of health as in the heirship of wealth or brains. Some are born with a fortune of vigor and soundness so large that not a life- time of eager squandering will leave them poor, and others enter the world paupers of need so dire that no charity from medicine can ever raise them to comfort, but most of us have just that mediocre legacy of vitality which ren- ders us undistinguishable units in the mass. It lies in the hands of each to improve or waste that property, as he chooses, for there are self made men physically as well as financially; those who, because of ancestral wasteful- ness, have only a sixpence of health and turn it into a fortune, and there are spendthrifts of health who come to as sorrowful case as spendthrifts of gold. The body is the realm where a wise and frugal ruler brings happi- ness as surely as a foolish one insures distress, and wisdom here, as else- where, lies in learning and obeying natural laws. -North American Re- view.

MET THE DIFFICULTY KRIM He Smashed the Piano, but She Smashed His Heart. MM1i iii sfairiLitiia Citi iAIXAt3WAs "You understand that I expect you to look after my three rooms, sweep and dust and all that sort of thing?" "Yes," remarked Mrs. Petersen, "I understand. The rooms suit me per- fectly," she went on as they passed down stairs again, "and I shall begin to pack up tomorrow. It will be so nice to be able to turn around and not be always running into everybody. And now that Mr. Petersen's sister is living with us- Well, good day. The things will begin to come by day after tomor- row. Good day." Theodore Foster stood looking after her a moment; then he went into the empty parlor and took the large "To Let" placard from the front window. He carried it up to his sitting room. "I hope It will be a long time before I have to see you again," he told it as he put it 1n his desk. It was the first time for a month that he had felt really happy. During that time he had tried to get a tenant for his house, but had been unable to find a suitable one. It had been horribly lonesome coming home at night to a cold, echoing house. But now he would have the Petersens there, and he look- ed forward to day after tomorrow with joy. Ile used to .know Joe Petersen, but he supposed he wouldn't see much of him, as Joe was away from home all the week. Ther were the children too. 11e was fond of children, even If he was an old bachelor. Then he remem- bered that the children must be nearly grown up by this time. Well, young people were almost as good as children. It was the next day, while he was out taking his constitutional, that Ev- erson saw him and crossed the street to speak to him. "So you have got the Petersens?" ho said after they had walked a few blocks. "Well, there's only one thing about them that you won't like." "What is that?" questioned Mr. Theo- dore. "Their piano." "Oh, I don't mind piano practice as some do," said Mr. Theodore easily. "In fact, I rather like it." "You haven't lived over the Peter- sens yet," said Everson sententiously. "You wait a little. It's an old piano that came over in the Mayflower -that is, if any pianos did come over then this is one of them. I could get more music out of brass kettles and tin pans. It's all out of tune, too, and, worst of all, they keep banging away on it all the time. In vacation it's something awful: There are three girls that take lessons, and they are bound to be play- ing, so they keep the old thing going about nine hours a day." Mr. Theodore's face had lengthened during this description. "What makes them keep such an okl trap?" he asked. "Well, 'you see, they're kind of poor, and they can't afford a new one." Mr. Theodore walked moodily along after his friend left him. Then sud- denly his face brightened. "I can fix 1t all right," he said and went on more briskly. The next morning there was consid- erable grumbling from the two men who moved the Petersens because Mr. Theodore Foster insisted on helping. He was especially troublesome about the placing of the piano. He Insisted on having it on the very end of the load and tied it with his own hands. When the team started, he trotted along be- side it, and they reached the house at the same time. It was e. raw morning, and the men were putting blankets on the horses, when suddenly there came a jangling crash. They hurried to the back of the wagon and found Mr. Theodore looking in" horror and dismay at a very badly smashed piano. "It's all my fault" - was all he managed. to say before a tor- rent of, abuse and curses loud and deep overwhelmed him. Mr. Theodore went and told Mrs. Pe- tersen about the accident, and after he had gone a loud wail arose from the three girls, but when the household ef- fects were all moved and the Petersens themselves went to their new home there, in the pallor, was a beautiful, brand new piano. They ail stood in the doorway and stared in amazement. "Mr. Foster had it sent," Aunt Sarah Petersen explained. She had been there httending to that end of the mov- ing. "He said that as it was due to his carelessness that the other was wreck- ed he should take the liberty of sending for this one." Maud, the oldest girl, went and tried the instrument. "Isn't it beautiful?" she cried rapturously. Time went on, and the girls practiced diligently. Their aunt also took advan- tage•of the chance to play, so that Mr. Theodore had all the music he wanted. The Petersens had been there two months, when one day Mr.- Theodore asked Maud to go with him to the piano rooms. "I want Jou to try thein all," he said, and see if there is one you like better tlian the one at home." Maud tried teem. "No," she declar- ed, "there isn't one so nice." "Are Isabel and Katherine satisfied with it!" "Why, yes, indeed they are." "By the way, won't you play that new waltz for ine?' She seated herself at the nearest in- strument and began to play. When she had finished, she looked around, but Mr. Theodore was not beside her, as she had supposed. Instead she saw him at the far end of the room, coming toward her with a piece of paper in his hand. When he reached her, he passed her the paper. "A birthday present. my dear. I believe it is your birthday today." Maud looked at the paper blankly. Then it dawned upon her that it was a bill of sale of the piano at home, made out in her name. Maud never would tell her sisters what she did at that moment, but when she came home and told them about it tbey all declared that Mr. Theodore was "a dear." "Don't you think it would be better for you to go out of doors more, Miss Sarah?" Mr. Theodore asked her one day. "I would be greatly honored 1! you would accompany me on my daily walks. It Is rather tedious going alone." And so it became the custom for the old bachelor and the maiden aunt to walk out every day together. But after a year of this Miss Sarah told him one day that she was going away for a six months' visit. Mr. Theodore was filled with conster- nation at this and begged her to recon- sider. He pleaded so earnestly and eloquently that she finally promised to stay away only two' weeks and when she came back to "set the day." That was the longest walk they had taken, and toward the end of it Mr. Theodore said: "My dear, there is something I have wanted to tell you ever since I have known you. It is about the piano." "I don't think you will have to tell me now," she said. "I have known it all the time. I saw you do it." "Saw me do it? Do what?" "Cut the rope-" He stood still and looked at her. "I was at the window. I had come over to see to things, you know, and I saw you take out your knife, step up to the hub of the wheel and cut the rope." "And you never told!" "No." "Why not?" "You see," she said confusedly, her color rising, "it flashed upon me at once what you did it for -that old pi- ano, it was an instrument of torture!- aud that was the beginning of the -of the end, I think." He tried to look in her averted face. "I don't understand what you mean by the end." She turned a radiant glance upon him. "Why, don't you see -today!" - Chicago Record. Beauties of St. Bernard Pass, The writer, in describing the perilous journey over the St. Bernard pass, in part says: "We see a little trickle of water start from a snowbank and swell, ted by dashing streams, great and small. Some of these fall from heights a mile above us, tinkling and sparkling and hiding here and there, but finally reaching the valley. Pink crocuses star the fields, and barberry bushes, on fire with berries, line the wayside. The scenery grows richer; there are more cultivated fields; houses begin to ap- pear oil every ledge; now and then a fine tower of some mediaeval castle rose above the trees; then the silvery gray olive, the fantastic vineyards; the swarms of black eyed, dirty chil- dren begging; all tell of Italy. Under a burning sun and covered with dust we reach Aosta, tired and hungry, but rich in elevated thoughts, aspirations and pleasant memories of our varied and interesting experiences." -National Magazine. Poetry, Painting and Furniture. Rossetti insisted on everybody paint - leg. Books, he said, were "no use to a painter except to prop up models upon In difficult positions, and then they might be very useful." "If any man has any poetry in him," was another saying of Rossetti's, "he should paint, for it has all been said and written, and they have scarcely begun to paint it," a saying, by the way, which may be found also in the third volume of "Modern Painters." Morris obeyed the master and took to painting. Even when Morris took to making furniture that craft was at first regarded under Rdssettl's influence as merely a means of providing spaces for pictorial deco- ration. Morris built some enormous chairs, "such as Barbarossa might have sat in," said Rossetti, who pro- ceeded to paint their backs with sub - pets from Morris' poems. -London News. What Is a "Stickit Ministert" The sense in which "stickit" is ap- plied to Dominle Sampson, where he is called in "Guy Mannering," chapter 3, a "stickit stibbler," is entirely distinct from that of sticking or stab- bing, with which it could never possi- bly be confounded by one familiar with the Scottish tongue. A "stibbler" was a harvester whose duty it was to keep in the wake of the reapers (in the days of the sickle) and cut or pluck and gather from the stubble what one and another had left untouched. So a pro- bationer, or a preacher without a charge, preached variously as he could find opportunity, and if he never re- ceived a permanent appointment in the church, but lapsed into the melancholy monotony of a dominie's tyranny, he was as one that had failed or stuck - "a stickit stibbler" or "a stickit minis- ter." -Notes and Queries. Contented Idleness. The peasantry of the island of Corfu are reputed to be the idlest of all the in- habitants of the Ionian islands. They cultivate no gardens, and im- port the garlic and onions which form a large portion of their diet. Mr. Glad- stone, talking about his visit to Greece, gave his testimony to confirm the is- landers' reputation. He said he had never seen such com- plete and contented idleness as at Corfu, where he once came across three men leisurely driving two turkeys along the road. It was ease without dignity.

WAS IT A MIRACLE? A South American Missionary Saved in a Miraculous Way. is Reaches United States Just in Time to Save His Life. You have all heard of Prof. E. R Weycoff, the only missionary that eve went among the Aztec Indians of South America, who has returned alive. It wa Prof. Weycoff who planted Christianity amid these tierce people. and made a min ister out of Zoreff, the man eater and chie of the savages. "Eight years ago," said the professor to a gathering of friend s a the Allyn House, "I resigned my lucra tive professorship and set sail for South America. My journey was a two -fold mission -first, to carry the gospel to a people who had never heard it, and sec ond, to regain my health, If possible, amid the arid hills of southern atmos- phere. My disease was consumption. I had been pronounced incurable by lead- ing physicians of the east. Analysis by Dr. Agney, of Philadelphia, showed tha I was in the early stage of Bright's dis- ease, I also had a growth in my left side, which some physicians diagnosed as an enlargement of the spleen, some an ague case, and others a tumor. I was told that any one of the troubles would prove fatal within a year, and that there was no cure for me in the known world. After a long sea voyage, then a railroad journey, and then a nine days' wagon journey over the plains and up into the mountains, my wife and I reached Des- wisaca. You have all heard me relate my experience among these people. In this connection I would say. by the treat- ment of the medicine man of the tribe, by the help of God and the climate, 1 largely recovered from my lung and kid- ney troubles. The tumor, however. con- tinued to grow. Two years ago I took cold and relapsed back to my original condition. The medicine man gravely informed that I was a dead white man and I felt that for once in his life ate was telling the truth. "Twelve months ago, at a ranchman's hut, a few miles front Deswisaca, I chanc- ed to come across a copy of the Atlanta, Ga., Constitution. It was like home to see an American paper, and I devoured its contents with great interest. IVhat attracted my interest mostly was an arti- cle describing the miraculous cures of a Louisville physician. In fact, they read its much like miracles as old-time ]bible miracles. This article spoke of the cure of Mrs. J. A. Clark, Jonesboro, Ga., of double curvature of the spine; Miss Lewis, of Galveston, Texas, of consumption; of Mrs. C. E. Weber, Shreveport, La., of a malignant fungous growth and tumor; and of Miss Lidia Head, Ensor, Ky., of kidney and bronchial troubles. It men- tioned the remarkable cures of fifty people . bus Junction, Ia., cured of long standing r rheumatism.

Miss Mary Stanley, Oskaloosa. la., cured of catarrh of the head and eye troubles. Dr. Rea's practice is distributed alike all over the southern and western country. Now my wife, who is a southern wo- man, happened to know Miss Head, and knew they were among the most re- spectable people of the state. Such was the impression made upon my wife and myself, that we determined to start im- mediately to Louisville. and see by the help of God if that great healer could help me. It was on the ninth day of December,. 1895, that I reached the office of Dr. Rea, who is president of the South- ern Medical and Surgical Institute, Louis- ville, Ky. I was nearer a dead man than a live one. I found the doctor busy, with about fifty people waiting to see him. He was also preparing to make a pro- fessional trip to Texas. As soon as 1 en- tered the presence of Ur. Rea, he told me my exact condition and how I had been for years. better than i could have told him. I knew I was in the presence of a great man, and one who was master of his profession. I felt before he had given his opinion that 1 would get well. I felt that his work was God's work and God was with him. My blood had almost turned to water, my limbs were swelled to almost the size of my body, my cough was very severe, and my left lung badly affected. Dr. Rea gave his opinion that the chances were greater that I should get well than that I should nut, and that by the help of God he would save me if he could. You can't imagine what life these words gave me, for I had been told the day before by two prominent physicians in Cincinnati, that I could not get well. 1 was under Dr. Rea's treatment. about six months and have just been dismissed by him as cured, tumors all gone, cured of Bright's disease, lungs cured, and feel like a new marl. My wife has recently visited Iowa, and there learned some of the most remark- able cures. Mrs. Jane Smith, Bonaporte, Ia., cured by Dr. Rea, of cancer of the stomach and of fungus cancer tumor of womb, after the best physician in the state had pronounced her incurable. Eugene Athey, a prominent business man of Hamilton, I11., cured of kidney troubles, after being pronounced by the leading physician of the state as beyond all hope. Mrs. Rachel Erickson, Mar- shalltown, la., cured of abdominal drop- sy, after all others had failed. H. C. Emerson, Keokuk, Ia., catarrh of throat and bronchial trouble and a slow wasting form of consumption, after being an inva- lid for years. Miss Jennie Steele, Colum - The sick come from everywhere to see him, they come nearly dead and go away well. Miss Clara Naghle, now the wife of a prominent railroad official, Owens- boro, Ky., cured of catarrhal consump- tion; E. H. Etherly, Little Rock, Ark., cured of total blindness; Miss Philip Trout, Mt. Vernon, Ind., cured of cancer of the face; H. D. Hess, Brinkley', Ark., operated on for crosse -es, and cured in three minutes; Mrs. E. B. Blockson, Terre Haute, Ind., cured of chronic female troubles, cured in six weeks; John Mc Namara. Marshalltown, Ia., cured of ec- zema, of forty years' standing; had tried fifteen doctors; J. M. Belle. Chetopa. Kan., cured of nervous debility. bladder troubles and wasting vitality; C. B. Hurl- bert, Carrot, Neb„ cured of skin disease of long standing; J. A. Rice, Sibley, Ia., cured of piles in two treatments; Mrs. Mary Smith, Peuder, Neb., cured of chtouic nasal catarrh; B. D. Jacobson, Washita, ia.. cured of chronic ulcerated sore leg; W. O. Clark, Laurel, Ia., cured of nervous dyspepsia and kidney trouble. "How does Dr. Rea perform these cures?" ask half a dozen voices. "God only knows," replied Prof. Weycolr, "but be does it. He is a man of great skill and experience, besides he possesses al- most a spiritual gift in diagnosiug dis- ease. I have talked to numbers of his patients, and they have all told Inc that he tells them their troubles better than they could have told him. I believe there are other Dr. Reas, but only one Dr. Rea who has cured thousands of incurable cases all over this country. He seems to cure incurable diseases as though they were slight defects. I have seen him grapple with death it- self, and when no one believed that the patient could live au hour, he has laugh- ed at the situation and restored them speedily to health. Dr. Rea has attained the highest eminence in his profession and has carved out a career of success more fascinating than the dreams of two worlds. Prof. L. O.

It is said tbat Dr. Turner of the Hoe- pital de la Petie, Paris, succeeded in bringing a man to life temporarily. The man operated upon was Jean Bonlie, who had been pronounced dead. Dr. Tuffler, it is alleged, in the presence of a large number of students, took the body, and, atter the application of sev- eral recognised methods of proving the total extinction of life, exposed the man's heart, and, holding the organ in his hand, pressed flret one side with the finger and then on the other side with the thumb, and, keeping it up continu- ously, caused an artificial action, and after a time there were unmistakable evidences of life. It is said that the man answered one or two questions put to him. It was impossible to maintain thio artificial action very long, and the man sank back to his second death.

It Was a Terrific Test of Endurance, and the Sturdy Subject of Kalakaua Won Easily, Though Two of the H Dropped Dead. "Did any of you ever hear of a 35 mile steeplechase for man and beast?" inquired one of the California men in a party of turf followers when stories of queer bets and long shots were go- ing around. "Well, there was au af- fair of that kind down in the Hawai- ian bunch in the fall of 1883, when that genial chile concarne proposition, Kalakaua, was king of the islands. There were no telephones joining the islands tten, and state messages and mandates were carried by the inter- island steamers and delivered by Ka- naka runners. These runners could gallop all day, like American Indians in retreat or on the trail, and they didn't know what getting winded or tired meant. "Kalakaua thought a good deal of these runners of his. He always main- tained that they could go faster and farther than horses over the rough Hawaiian country. In this he was dis- puted by a number of the white at- taches of his court. Kalakaua wager- ed $5,000 in gobs of $1,000 with five of them that he would pick out a runner from among his Kanakas who'd get from Hilo to the „Sop of the burning lake of Kilauea, a distance of 35 miles, quicker than any horse and any rider could do the trip. They snapped the king up at even money. It looked as if they had the good end of it. The king and a big party from Honolulu sailed in one of the interisland steam- ers to Hilo, on the main island of Ha- waii, to see the finish. "The king picked out a huge, lithe, sinewy Kauaka, a man about 30 years old, who bad been employed as a run- ner on the island of Maui for a num- ber of years, to try the trick for him. Eight Kanakas made the start a -horseback, on native ponies, bred away back from western cayuses- strong, sure footed, nippy tempered lit- tle demons, thoroughly used to the bad roads and the climbing. ' The king and his party had gone up to the Volcano House, at the top of Kilauea, in coach- es the day before to be on hand to greet the winner. "Now, I understand that that road from Hilo up to the burning lake of Kilauea has been improved since the time I'n1 speaking of, but it surely was a bad trail then. It was only wide enough for one wagon, and it was about a 45 degree affair in the climb all the way up. The palms that lined the road used to get blown across the trail by the score in big windstorms, and the coach drivers counted it a part of their business to Jump from their seats every time they came to these obstructions and shoulder them out of the way. 71tis work had all been attended to carefully, however, in ad- vance of the race by order of Kala- kaua, and ft loked like a pipe for the cayuses, all of which had made the run up many a time. "Kalakaua didn't ask for any handi- cap allowance for bis man. The run- ner toed the scratch with the horses, and they got off together at the crack of the gun. The horses distanced the runner from the Jump, and he let them distance him. He was dressed in a G string, and he just took up a steady lope and let the cayuses get out of his. sight. For ten miles the cayuses were so far above him on the trail that he couldn't even see them, but this Kana- ka knew how to wait. The horses be- gan to come back to the runner long before the Half Way House was reach- ed, and the,Kanaka was Just galloping along at the beginning of the third hour with the same big stride he had started in with, his arms up and shoot- ing out in front of him like soldiers on the double time drill. There wasn't a pant in him when he fetched up at the Half Way House. He stooped down there to a spring beside the road and took a couple mouthfuls of water. The cayuses were up ahead a bit, blowing their heads off, for they had been go- ing at a clip that they had never been pushed to before. "The Kanaka headed the bunch a mile beyond the Half Way House, and it was a big romp for him the rest of the distance. Ile took a position for the remaining 17 miles of the Journey about a city block ahead of the writh- ing and panting horses, and he just stuck to his lope like a man wound up. He never let 'em get nearer than a block to him for the remaining three hours of the trip, looking back at them with a grin once in awhile. When only three miles yet remained before the Volcano House was to be reached, the Kanaka took another drink out of a spring and began to draw away. The Kanaka riders whipped and sparred their horses, but it was no good. The Kanaka runner disappeared out of their sight on the tortuous trail, and when six of the cayuses pulled up at the hotel veranda about three-quarters of an hour later the runner was sitting on the steps, fanning himself and drinking saki. Two of the horses had dropped dead in their final effort. "The Kanaka made the 35 mile trip over sticks and stones on a miry road in 6 hootrs and 40 minutes, and he look- ed tit to run for his life when be got through. When I was reading about the young fellows who did the long distance running in those Olympian games in Greece some years ago, it struck me that any one of Dave Kala- kaua's runners could have made the whole hunch look like aluminium dol- lars." -Washington Po`t.

Our sun is now a yellow star, similar to Capella, and hence it will eventual- ly becowe bluish white. like Sirius and Vega. The secular shrinkage ef the sun's radius will cause a steady rise in he temperature. and when the body bas reached the stage of Sirius, where the temperature is perhaps doubled, the light emitted will become intensely blue. The temperature may be expect- ed to go on rising till a emall radius is attained and finally, when the dense mass, intensely hot, becomes incapable of further shrinkage, on account of in- crease in the molecular forces resisting condensation, a cooling will gradually ensue. after which the body will liquefy and then rapidly decline in splendor. The sun will thenceforth be wrapped in everlasting darkness and the chill of death will overtake the planetary sys- tem. A condition of darkness thns fol- lows close upon a period of intense bril- liancy, and hence the obscurity of such bodies as the companions of Sirius, Procyon and Algol. The most obscnre satellites are thus associated with some of the brightest and most intensely luminous stare in our sky, and here the smaller of the two masses, as in the case of .the planets of the solar system, have developed most rapidly. In view of this approaching extinc- tion of the sun's activity, it becomes a ✓ tter of interest to inquire bow long /beat will sustain life upon the earth. • °ugh it is difficult to submit the sub- ject to accurate computation, it is easy to see that the exhaustion of the sun's light and heat certainly will not occur for several hundred thousand and per - baps not for several million years. Thus the ultimate doom of onr system need occasion no anxiety among those now living, but the result is philosophically interesting to those who look several million years into the future. As experiment has shown that the sun's vertical rays falling continuous- ly upon terrestrial ice would melt a layer three centimeters in thickness per day. It follows that a similar shell of ice would form over the earth in case the sun's light and heat were cut off. Thus in a month the whole earth would be frozen like the polar regions, and only the deeper bodies of water, con- taining a great amount of heat, would remain in a liquid state. The oceans themselves would freeze over within a few years at the latest, and the winds, and even the tides, would cease to agi- tate the terrestrial globe, which would -henceforth spin. kn its orbit as a rigid, lifeless mass.—Professor T.

Take one ounce of the eeeds of resolution, prcperly mixed with the oil of good conscience, and infuse into it a large spoonful of tLe balsam of pa- tience. Distill carefully a composing plant called others' woes, which you will find in every part of the garden of life, growing under the broad leaves of disguise. Gather a handful of the blos- soms of hope, sweeten them properly with a sirup made of the balm of Prov- idence, and if yon can get any of the seeds of true friendship you will then have the most valuable medicine that can be administered. But you must be careful to get the Heeds of true friend- ship, as there is a weed that resembles it, called self interest, which will spoil the whole composition. These ingredi- ents, well mixed and faithfully taken, soon complete a cure. —Popular Science. Microbe Crazy. A woman who had purchased a pair of gloves was given three $1 bills in change. "Do it up in paper, please," she said to the salesgirl. The request was complied with, and the wrapped up bills were put in a pocketbook. "Some persons are microbe made," said a physician in explaining the inci- dent. "Many have it so bad that they will not even pick up a pin, because it has been said that all sorts of disease germs can be collected under their heads. Dread of microbes is a common form of hypochondria.

Professor Bilalik's observations re- garding the growth of man have deter- mined the following interesting facts: The most rapid growth takes place immediately after birth, the growth of an infant during the first year of its existence being about eight inches. The ratio of increase gradually lessens until the age of 8 is reached, at which time the size attained is half that which the child is to become when full grown. After five years the succeeding increase is very regular till the sixteenth year, being at the rate, for the average man, of two inches a year. Beyond 16 the growth is feeble, being for the follow- ing two years about three-fifths of an inch a year. From 18 to 20 the increase in height is seldom over one inch. At, the age of 25 the growth ceases, except in a.few rare cases —Popular Science. questions ot Duty. "1 intended," said the German etn- terror, "to be guided in this matter en- tirely by my duty."

How to Select One and Then Care For It. A fine lens, like a thing of beauty, is a joy forever. In purchasing a lens it ie good policy to secure one from a maker with an established reputation. In the first place, says the Boston Her- ald, the metal part should be accurate- ly and tastefully made, andtbe glass should be clear, polished and free from scratches or surface abrasions. The best way to test the clearness of the glass is to look through the lens at the sky withont any window intervening, and if the bine appears the same shade of color through the glass as to the eye direct it may be considered clear and without color. Should the bine appear of a leaden hue it is best to reject the lens. It is likewise good policy to shun a lens which is frill of carbon specks. The sparkling quality of a lens can be ascertained by holding it almost against the person, poised at an angle of abont 45 degrees and looking down the glase to see the reflected image. Should the image to clear and sharp it can be taken for granted that the lens is a good one. The clearer and sharper the reflection the better. By the observ- ance of these two general rules the amateur can generally select a service- able and satisfactory lens. The care of a lens is as important as is the selection. A lens should be kept clean and free from dust and should not be left lying carelessly around. It should be kept capped and the 1asses protected. Dust and foreign particles are apt to settle on the glasses if unpro- tected, and if left exposed the light will cause a deterioration of the cementing balsam between the glasses of the com- bination, which destroys transparency, imparts a tinge of color and lessens the speed of the lens. • The renioval of dust and other par- ticles from the lens should not be done with chamois, silk or similar material, as the pores of the skin and interstices of such oily -substances as chamois and silk hold and retain gritty particles that will Scratch the finely polished glass of a lens. Dust and particles should be re- moved by blowing or by the application of a fine bruslithoroughly cleaned. Per- haps one of the best materials for clean- ing lenses and one which can usually be found without much trouble isan old linen handkerchief, washed clean and ironed without starching. Locomotive's Fine Work. The nice adjustment nedessary in the various parts of the immense engines now employed for some of the trains 0I2 onr great railway lines may be indicat- ed by a few data of the work performed by these parts when the locomotive is worked at high speed. Thus, in the case of a passenger engine at 60 miles an hour, a driving wheel of 5% feet diameter revolves five times every sec- ond, and, this being so, the reciprocat- ing parts of each cylinder, including one piston rod, crosshead and connect- ing rod, weighing about 650 pounds, must move back and forth a distance equal to the stroke, say two feet, every time the wheel revolves, or in the fifth of a second. This weight starts from a state of rest at the end of each stroke of the piston and must acquire a vel- ocity of 32 feet per second in one -twen- tieth of a second and must be brought to a state of rest in the same period of time. A piston 18 inches in diameter has an area of 254% square inches; steam of 150 pounde pleasure per square inch would therefore exert a force on the piston equal to 88,175 pounds, which forco is applied alternately on each side of the piston ten times in a second.—New York Sun. Fine Pair of Seale* Berlin has a magic pair of scales. They have been using them on. files. The average weight of the common fly is, roughly speaking, one hundred and fourteen one -hundred -thousandth of an ounce—that is to say, 14,000 flies would just about balance a one pound weight in the scales. The wing of a fly weighs one -fourteenth of its total weight and one leg but one -three hun- dred and fifteenth. The instrument which made these infinitesimal calcula- tions is a large lever weighing machine in Berlin, which is one of the wonders of the age, for such gradations as the one nine-hnndredth part of a milligram, or abont one two -hundred -and -twenty- five millionth of a pound, are regis- tered by means of its magic. Its ac- curracy is so terribly uncompromising that if a hundredweight were placed in each scale and a house fly chanced to alight on one of them the scale would immediately turn by the mere weight of that Insect—London MaiL King menetek VD to Date.

How the High Class Expert Picked Out the Old Masters. "Speaking of old pictures," said a New Orleans dealt'", "it is very inter- esting to see a really high class Euro- pean expert making an examination. The extent and diversity of the infor- mation of such men are something as- tonishing. Some years ago I spent a couple of days with a gentleman who is recognized as one of the foremost connoisseurs of Paris. We visited sev- eral country places which contained pictures said to be of great value, and in all he inspected upward of two doz- en canvases. "in every instance he settled the questions of date, period and painter beyond all reasonable doubt. The warp and woof of the canvas, the wood composing the backing, the nature of the borings made by worms, the work- manship'of the tacks, the character of the pigment and certain minute pecul- iarities in the mounting were all like so many pages of print to him. He was intimately acquainted with the style of hundreds of different artists, the models they used, the colors they most affected, their tricks of composi- tion and their peculiar methods of ex- pressing the effects of light and shade. "To an outsider it seemed like magic. 'A copy,' be would say, for instance. after a swift glance at a painting. 'It was made by So-and-so, a pupil, who had very much the style of his master. The date is about' (here he would name it with infallible accuracy), 'and if you clean that left hand corner I dare say you will find the signature in vermilion.' In several 'cases he was fully borne out by documents in pos- session of the owner, and in all he was sustained by circumstantial evidence. He told me very modestly that he had devoted 40 years to the close study of his profession and was just beginning to apprehend dimly how little he knew." — New Orleans Times -Demo- crat. ONE BRAVE MAN. And the Reason He Stood Firm While Under Fire. A battalion of volunteer infantry was drilling in a field when a regiment of regular cavalry rode by. The colo- nel of the cavalry halted his men to watch the volunteers, and, getting into conversation with the colonel of the latter, he criticised their drill un- favorably, especially their want of steadiness. The volunteer colonel was a fierce fellow, and he cried hotly, "My men are as steady as any regiment of regulars." "I do not think so," retorted the cav- alryman, "and if you'll draw your men in order to eeceive cavalry I'll prove it." The challenge was accepted, and the cavalrymen charged down upon the citizen soldiers, who awaited them in the usual way. Now, regular cavalry can charge to within a few feet or even inches of infantry at full gallop and then at the word of command pull up short. The volunteers, howdver, lost their nerve when they saw the huge horses thundering down upon them and showing no sign of stopping when a few yards off. They lIted, all but one man, who remained on his knee, with bayonet leveled. His colonel, enraged at the others' flight, approached the hero and, tap- ping him on the back, cried: "You are the only brave man In the regiment You seemed to run." "Yes, sir," gasped the hero. "I had my fut stuck in a hole, or I shouldn't have waited."—Spare Moments. Big Animals of Long Ago. Most of the gigantic animals of geo- logical eras belonged to species which have completely vanished, and of those which have living representatives it Is difficult to Say whether they have un- dergone a true change of size or whether the modern examples are merely survivals of smaller contempo- rary varieties. The larger animals have a tendency to disappear first in a partial failure of food supply. Gigantic armadillos closely resembling those of the present day were formerly abundant in South America. The re- mains of huge sloths are found in Cu- ba and North America. Sharks attain- ing a length of more than 100 feet are found in comparatively recent fossil deposits. Another fish which repre- sents a larger prehistoric species is the Americas bony pike, which is one of of the few survivals of the enormous ganolds of the secondary strata. The tiny nfIntilnis of the present day had kindred 10 or 12 feet long in early times. Another small shellfish, the pteronod, whose delicately complex structure is packed in an inch of shell, Is found in fossil remains to have reached the respectable length of a couple of feet.

She wants to get aboard on the wropg side of the street; she alights the wrong way, facing backward, before the car stops, and she'll crowd in between two fat passengers near the rear door of the car rather than walk a few steps forward where there is plenty of room. She may have nickels and dimes in her purse to burn, but she'll fish and bunt around for minutes looking for five coppers to unload upon the long suffer- ing servant of the road.—Exchange. PRUNING MADE EASY. 88 per Year in Advance. 82 per Year it not in Ad Vane, Combination Trimming and Paring Implement For the Farmer. A new form of pruning implement has recently been invented, says The Scientific American, which is well adapted to the trimming and pruning of tree branches and which is provided with a chisel to pare or smooth broken or jagged wood. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the complete implement. Fig. 2 is a per- spective view of the cotter. Fig. 8 shows a portion of the reach rod. The combined praning hook and chisel comprises a cutter iron having a chisel edge on its front portion and a prnning knife edge which is formed in the side and which coacts with a shoulder to cut the branch. This cutter iron slides in. the Battened sleeve of a socket on the handle of the impienient. The inner end of the cutter Iron is formed with an aperture the con- forms to the shape f the outer end of sone of which the reach rod; so that the reach rod and NSW PRUNING) IMPLEliaNT, cutter iron can be detachably connect- ed. The reach rod is flattened at one end to slide in the flattened part of the socket of the handle and is provided with a not at the handle end. To de- liver blows upon the stock or handle or upon the not on the reach rod, a ham- mer weight of convenient form for a hand hold is need. In operation the pruning knife edge is booked over the branch to be cut off, with the branch resting against the shoulder opposite the knife edge. By means of the hammer weight repeated blows are struck upon the nut on the end of the reach rod, and these blows are communicated through the rod to the cutter. For the purpose of emooth- ing or cutting away wood the chisel edge on the front portion of the cutter iron is used, the blows in this instance being delivered up..rt the handle. Gargling the Throat. As the utility of gargling in diseases of the throat has been questioned by several physicians of prominence in Europa, a series of experiments were recently rnade Dr. Sanger and are de- scribed in a Munich medical journal. The therapeutic utility of gargling de- pends on whether the fluid employed reaches the mucous membrane of the pharynx and the tonsils or not. To determine this fact the tonsils of a patient were painted with methylene blue, and he then was told to gargle with plain water. The water ejected from the month was found to be quite colorless, and the tonsils still retained their bine appearance. In other experi- ments the velum, a portion of the tongue and the tonsils were tingled with wheat flour and a gargle given the patient in which iodine was mixed with glycerin. It was found that the velum and the tongue showed the blue color of the reaction on the starch, but the flouren the tonsils was neither col- ored nor washed away. Dr. Sanger be- lieves that gargling is useless, and when a local treatment is desired a swab of cotton wool should be em- ployed. —Exchange. Electric Light Problem. Persons who have never studied the problems of electrical distribution, even engineers of high achievements in other branches of the profession, hardly real- ize how extremely onerous are the con- ditions under which the central light- ing station engineer has to do his work. In almost every other branch of engi- neering where power has to be de- veloped the load is a practically con- stant factor, whereas the central light station engineer has to provide the plant for supplying a very large output for a very few hours of the 24, while the plant which is to provide this out- put is, for the remaining hours of tbe day, practically idle and quite unre- munerative. Therefore a comparatively small proportion of the plant bas to earn a dividend on an amount of capi- tal enormously in excess of that ex- pended on what I may call the earning plant. Having regard to the fact that, despite this great difficulty, central sta- tions which are earning dividends are very numerous, the prospects of the in- dustry when a practically constant load can be obtained are enormous.—Engi- neering Magazine.

The rude masses of bread needing to be carved and smeared over with animal fat before they could be made palatable, the still recognizable fragments of recently killed animals, hideously charred and hacked, the eggs torn ruthlessly from beneath some protesting hen—such things as these, though they constitut- ed the ordinary fare of Victorian times, would have awakened only horror and disgust in the refined minds of the peo- ple of these latter days. Instead were pastes and cakes of agreeable and variegated design, with- out any suggestion in color or form of the unfortunate animals from which their substance and juices were de- rived. They appeared on little dishes sliding out upon a rail from a little box at one side Of the table. The surface of the table, to judge by touch and eye, would have appeared to a nineteenth century person to be cov- ered with fine, white damask, but this was really an oxidized metallic sur- face and could be cleaned Instantly after a meal. There were hundreds of such little tables in the hall, and at most of them were other latter day citi- zens, singly or in groups.

Women and Windows. Never let a woman plan a house for you. Take her kindly by the hand and say: "My dear girl, I am going to build a house, and you shall have full swing as regards arranging the closets in it. You women always love to have con- venient places in which to store things, and you shall therefore have closets to burn, but after this—hands off." A mansion built after the sugges- tions of a bloomer is a fearful and wonderful thing. It generally looks well on the outside, but the interior gives you the headache. "What woman built this house?" said; a scornful friend as he went over a newly purchased residence with the owner. "What woman!" said the latter. "None that I know of—it was built ten years ago, and I bought it from the last tenant." "All the same," reiterated the friend, i "I eau swear a woman planned it, for I never saw such a lot of useless win- dows and doors. It that woman ever dies, and her heirs want to break the will, alleging insanity, they would only have to bring the jury to this house to get a verdict in their favor." It after- ward developed that a woman did plan the residence and was quite proud of the job.—Loulsville Times. Justice With a Ve nnnnn cu.

"Were you not robbed last Friday?" "Yes." "Of what sum?" "Five hundred ducats." "Where were they?" "In a green purse." "And do you suspect any one of this robbery ?" "A valet de place." "Should you recognize him?" "Without doubt." Then the interrogator pushed aside a dirty cloak, discovered a dead man holding a green purse in his hand and added: "You see, sir, that justice has been done. There is your money; take It, and remember that a prudent man never sets foot again in a country where he has underrated the wisdom of the government."—San Francisco Argonaut. Would Yon Like This? The author of "Wild Flowers of California" gives an entertaining ac- count of how the Indians prepare for food a plant that is commonly called Indian lettuce. It will be recalled that formic acid takes its name from the red ant, and that acid was first ob- tained from the insect. The Placer county Indians greedily eat the succulent leaves and stems of their "lettuce." Their way of prepar- ing the plant for food is novel. Gath- ering the leaves, they lay these about the entrances to the nests of certain large red ants:, The ants, swarming out, run all over the plants. After a time the Indians shake the ants off the leaves, satisfied that the lettuce now has a pleasant sour taste, equaling that which might be given it by vine- gar. Preparation.

For the first time Delimon- ice's attracted his attention. "What kind of a place is that?" he asked. "Come in and see," responded his companion. Uncle Dick went in, and the friend ordered a luncheon, on which the two dined right royally. Luncheon finished. he asked the governor to "join him" in a smoke. The clerk at the cigar connter banded out some fine Havanas. Uncle Dick was in the act of taking one when suddenly he drew back and said: "What's the price of these?" "Twenty-five cents," said the clerk. "Holy emoke!" exclaimed Uncle Dick. "Put 'em back; put 'em back. quick!" "Bnt, governor, this is my treat," argued the friend. "Daren't do it; daren't do in Put 'eni back I" "But, governor"— "See here, young man, " returned Un- cle Dick, "I daren't do it.

The drinking of ice water is pro- nounced by scientists to amount to a real crime, and Dr. Brubaker has de- clared this question one of the utmost interest in typhoid fever. He says that if all water should be boiled and filtered there would never be a case of typhoid. The temperature of the stomach at the moment the ice water enters it is about 105 degrees; the water is 82 degrees. The chilling of • and con- tracting of blood vessels is therefore great, and to the ice water is ascribed the catarrhal condition of the stomach so often suffered from. Dr. Brubaker says water should not be taken with a meal to any great extent, but that bot water taken before breakfast prepares the stomach for action, stimulating the gastric juices and washing away the re- mains of the last meaL Another glass of hot water taken between breakfast and luncheon will be found beneficial and better than all drugs for curing in- digestion, since in passing into the blood the food products are carried along with it. Exercise, too, is necessary to help on the action of the stomach. A Millionaire Jockey. Ancient Rome had its racing and its pcpnlar and well paid jockeys. Betting ran high, and the excitement of the people over the races and their favorite color frequently led to bloodshed. Ca- ligula—he who made a consul of his horse—passed moat of his time rioting with the charioteers. The circus was the place for the rac- ing. The largest of them, the Circus Maximus, about 21,000 feet long, could accommodate 480,000 spectators. Seven times was it necessary to race round the spina, a low stone wall running down the center of the circus. The jockeys drove in a light chariot—usual- ly four in each race—and wore close fitting tunics and leather caps of dis- tinguishing colors. That the profession was a paying one we learn from ancient writers, money prizes and wages being paid. The jockey Crescens, at the age of 22, had amassed a fortune, and Diodes, king of jockeys, left to his son more than $1,000,000.— San Francisco Argonaut. A Mean Subterfuge.

When she wants anything, we all have to give in to her or take the consequences, and long experience has taught me that I might as well try to fan off a cyclone as reason with her when she gets angry, especially if there is a flatiron or a roll- ing pin handy, and so I just give up at once.

A little group of professional men were talking of dentists the other day when the stout man of the party related a bnmorous incident that occurred some time ago. It happened in a den- tist's office in Kansas City. A typical cow puncher came in and wanted a tooth treated. He was a big fellow with an immense soft hat, and when he deposited himself in the oper- ating chair everything creaked. "Mind yon don't hurt me," he said in a menacing tone, and then the den- tist got to work. After boring into the tooth a moment he paused. "Now," he said, "don't stir. If you do, this tool may slip and your nerve will get a nasty jar." All went well for a few moments and the big fellow threw his head back. There was a yell, a scramble, a fall- ing chair, and then a brawny flat flew out, and a dazed and bleeding dentist picked himself from the floor on the opposite side of the room. "Yon blamed idiot," he inntnblect with his hand on his jaw. "I told you not to move!" "Thet don't make a mite o' differ- ence!" roared the cow puncher.

T., says that Tombigbee river is often writtan about and is in history, and not one in a thousand knows why it is called Tombigbee. Years ago there was such a thing as a white man coming among the North .American Indians. It was the case with the naming of this river. There was a lone white man among the Choctaw Indians. He was a friendly white man, not a boomer nor a land grabber, nor was he a hobo. He was a workingman and farmed a little, built houses or huts for the na- tives, and here comes in the history of not only the naming of the river, but when the North American Indians be- gan to bury their dead this white man could make a coffin and persuaded the wild men to bury their dead nnd.er the sod. This good man lived on the banks of the river. The Choctaws did not know his name, but called him the coffin maker, which in Choctaw is etombe igbee. From this the white man bas changed the a bcve Choctaw words to Tombigbee river.—Minneapolis Trib- une. - • Must Have Been Blind.

There were no other inhabitants, and the bills on the river banks shut away all sound of outer life. He had been raised in the country, but she was a town lass, and the gas lamps and bustle of the seaport had got into her blood. Perhaps she never loved him; anyway she was not happy; She was an industrious wench. The tiny two roomed cottage he had built was kept scrupulously neat, and she helped him in the fields, when, with her sleeves rolled back from her round, brown arms and a cow's breakfast, as they call the wide straw farmers' hats in New Brunswick, on her dark hair,. he thought her a proper woman enough, with her lithe, strong figure and gleam- ing eye, but never told her so. By and by she seldom talked and grew restless on the days when they put off in their rowboat to deliver eggs and butter to the river steamers. He did not notice how eagerly she scanned the dress of the women passengers nor how the captain kept an eye on all her movements. Fall came, tinting the landscape like a splendid sunset, and the red and yel- low trees rustled in the windy sunshine of October days. Then he sprained his ankle and had to bide at his doorstep, while she took the boat and rowed out to the steamer for the trade. She seemed to be gone Ionger than neces- sary, be thought. Perhaps she was driving a hard bargain. She was shrewd, and he was lucky to have her. He wished she would liven up a bit, though, and not long so much for the town and shops. What did a farmer's wife need in town except a market for her wares? But women were all odd. He was right in his surmise. She had raised the price of the butter and eggs aim brought home a few extra cents. So on the following days, when she delayed her return several minutes, he was not impatient, But when the next time for the steamer to pass came and the minutes lengthened into quar- ters, then hours, he grew disturbed and hobbled to the beach. She pulled a good, strong oar for a town lass, but. her father was ait sa or so it camenat- ural for her to manage a boat. The river was a treacherous flow of water, blit her boat was easy to pull, and she had not far to go. It was strange he could not see tar. Perhaps she had gone around to the sand beach. The rowan trees were there, and she had a fancy for decking up the house with them. He thought it somewhat cruel as well as profitless to reb the birds of their winter food, but she laughed. at that. He would best go home, he thought, and put the potatoes on for dinner. It was the lass' work, but ,she had gone to do his, so turn about was fair. He was so honest! At the close of day still there was no sign of her, and he tried again to walk to the shore, but the in- jured ankle would not stand the strain, and he was forced to sit and waft Night came, but she did not return. On his hands and knees he crawled to the beach and called her name loudly, with a harsh breaking in his voice. The cries echoed back mockingly. The moon went down behind the hills and left him groping in the dusky starlight. His hands were torn and his knees bruised with the jagged stones as he dragged himself, but he took no heed, calling out for the woman whom for the first time he realized in a dumb, heavy way he loved. At dawn, peering out eagerly, he saw his boat ashore some distance up the island. His heart beats quickened, and something warm and tender Bashed through him. How he had missed her! Poor lass! Perhaps she, too. missed her home folk. Well, the work was nearly done, and frost would soon bind the river, and then he would drive her to the town and take her to the fair; yes, and buy her a warm, red hood and ribbons. He laughed out loud as he dragged himself to the house, thinking of her pleasure. She must have re- turned some time back. The boat was well up on the beach where hours ago had been the tide. She was home and doubtless wondering where he was. She had staid out to give him a bit of a fright and had slipped in when he had gone to search for her, dear lass! He reached the cottage. The door stood open, staring vacantly at him; the fire was out, and the gusty wind bad scattered the light pine ash like powder. She was not there. Doubt grew in his heart as slowly he dragged imself back to the shore—to the boat. as she dead? A bitterness gnawed bim. Hungrily he gazed at the waves which had taken her from him. He mumbled like an ofd man robbed, as tears splashed his face. At last he reached the boat. In the bottom was a piece of cedar chip tied to' her handkerchief. Leaping at it fiercely, he grasped it with shaking hand. Then lie rolled up his eyes, his fingers fumbling with the knot, his tips sawn white. Scrawled on the chip with a pencil was a message: "I've gone for good. You were kind, but I could not abide you or the country. I've gone with one as will take me all over the world." With his mouth working teusely he started to drag himself back. His brain was flying high up and down again. Darting lights played before his eyes. The wLirling ground leaped away from him. Crawling on, he reached the door, where, down on all fours, like a dog, he flung up his head and looked around the rooms wildly. Everything In them spoke with a trum- pet voice of her. Ile let his head fall on the sill. Then a groan came heavily from his lips, and he was calm. The next week a new captain came on the river steamer. • • • • • • • The birds flying across the river on their way to the south saw a woman, dressed gaudily and in vulgar fashion, making her way from the landing to the little house on Vance's island. At the door a gaunt man watched her. With a dazed stumbling he walked forth a little way to meet her. "I have come back after these years," she said, looking up to the little home, which, small and poor as it was, seem- ed to hold out hope of peace to her. But he said nothing, only staring at her with eyes in which burned a faint spark. Once he shivered at the eroak- ing notes in her voice. Into the house she followed him dog- gedly. She picked up her duties where she had left them years before, touch- ing a chair here and moving something there. She took a broom and fell to sweeping feverishly, until she flung it down contemptuously and sank Into a chair with a gasp. He had watched her silently with slow burning eyes. "Why don't you speak?" she erled. Her rising voice was bard and crac- kling. There was a flaunt on her lips. Her hands on her hips conveyed an in- solence of boldness. "I have come back to you in kind- ness," she said, her tones going higher and her voice growing more rasping. "I know the worth of a woman -like rue. When my captain died, I eouid have had many a fair chance, but I thought of you, and somehow I wanted to come here. Aren't you going to make up?" she cried angrily. God, what a difference in those years! His lips pressed together stern- ly. "Why don't you speak?" she scream- ed. "How dare you treat me like— like"— Sire paused and then laughed with her brazen notes. But the dancing lights were in his brain again and before his eyes and around him a boiling flame that roared. The room was whirling. He saw it all streaked and spangled with fierce color —the floor, the chairs, the fiat stove, the utensils of tin, and among them her face, thelips leering, the eyes staring. Staggering to his feet, he groped with his arms. His hands clutched at some- thing soft and warm that yielded under his contracting fingers. They closed tightly, gripping hard to stop the whirl- ing of the earth. The flame shot up madly, and, blinded in the dark, he fell, lying stretched on the floor. • • • • • • • Years later, the upper end of the is- land settled, pity still endured among the people for the lonely man who liv- ed on the lower end. They told stran- gers touching there of the young wife whom he had never seen from theday she ran away with the captain of the river steamer and he was left to his solitude. No one knew the whole until a young farmer went to ask aid of the old man a at the harvesting. g• No re- sponse coming to his knocks, he lifted the latch and entered. The old man was half kneeling against a chair, his dead eyes thrust out in their sockets. Before him, where the planks of the floor were torn np, were lying the bones and skull of a woman.—New York Press. Seulpture. If it were to be considered which branch of the fine arts is the most use- ful to man, it would probably be found that he could most easily dispense with sculpture and especially that branch of the art which portrays human and ani- mal figures. It is not too mach to say that, saving perhaps a score of master- pieces, every human and equestrian statue in the world might be destroyed at a very small cost to the aesthetic sentiments of humanity. Sculpture lacks color, warmth and life. It is a luxury of the rich as far as the adorn- ment of the home is concerned, and its public examples rarely afford satisfac- tion to any but the amateur. It has, therefore, very little interest for the vast majority of mankind. The idols if idolatrous peoples must be excepted, but here the interest is not artistic, but religious. In the extended sense of the term sculpture could be less easily dis- pensed with, because it would mean the abolition of all adornment in archi- tecture, and to a highly civilized people this would be intolerable.—Exchange. Soldering Glass. Margot, in some interesting investi- gations in soldering glass, has establish- ed the fact that an alloy composed of 95 parts of tin and 5 parte of zinc will melt at about 892 degrees Fahrenheit. Be. coming firmly adherent to the glass, it is unalterable and exhibits an attractive luster. An alloy containing 90 parts of tin and 10 parts of aluminium will melt at 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and also forms a strong and brilliant solder for glass. With these two alloys always ready to hand, glass may be soldered as easily as two pieces of metal. When the glass is heated in a furnace, the sol- dering can be accomplished by rubbing the surface with a rod of either of the compositions named. The alloy as it flows can be evenly distributed with a soldering iron.—St. Louis Post -Dis- patch. A Dog Story by Pepys. The following story of a dog of the restoration has been taken from the vo- racious Pepys under the date Sept. 11, 1661: "To Dr. Williams, who did carry me into his garden, where he hath abundance of grapes: and he did shoo' me how a doe that he bath do kill all the cats that come hither to kill his pigeons, and do afterward bury them; land do it with so much care that they shall be quite covered, that if the tip of tbe tail hangs out he will take np the cat again, and dig the hole deeper. Which is very strange; and be tells me that he do believe that he hath killed above a hundred cats." TRIALS OF A WOMA SHE WHO TAKES THE TICKETS THE PICTURE SHOWS. N. FINED FOR WINNING A CASE. It Was Not Considered Proper to De - AT fend a Horse Thief. "When I graduated from the law school," said the old lawyer, with a reminiscent smile, "I took Horace Gree- n- ley's advice and went west. I located ri- in a little town that then was on the at frontier and waited with the confi- dence of youth for clients. ho "Before I had fairly opened my office on er er It he t11 In Her Task, While Nerve Racking, I vites a Study of Some of the Cu ons Phases of Human Nature Th at Times Are en Dress PrArade.

The oth girls trying to earn looney envy h and think sbe has a "soft thing." is apparently easy enough to be t ticket takerat a picture show. there is to do, apparently, is to sit a roomful of pictures, take people tickets as they come in aid sell ea Iogues. "You would be surprised to see ho much work it is," said a girl w takes tickets at one of the big exh bitions. "You have to keep your eyes open all the time, for there are a large number of people who try to run hast without tickets. I have to go after people a dozen times a day, calling (Ticket, please,' and they turn on me with an - indignant stare. Most of them then go and buy tickets. But one well dressed woman the other day 'took up Iter lorgnette, looked me over from head to foot, and said in an icy tone: `Ticket! I have no ticket!' and proceeded calmly on her way. I ran after her again. "'Madame,' I said, 'I shall have to trouble you for a ticket.' "'I have already told you I had none,' she said. "'I'm afraid you will have to get one,' said I. I was beginning to be afraid I shoull have to get a 'bouncer' to put her out, for I was determined she 'should net go hi without paying. That is what I'm here for, and I am conscientious. Well, at last she flounc- ed out to the ticket office, bought her ticket and put it down on my desk, saying: ' "'What an imposition!' "That is one sort of the people I have to deal with. Then the other is the kind who wish to borrow a catalogue for a minute and keep It the whole aft- Ornoon. I have to be very stern about catalogues. The best way is to polite- ly look 'up whatever picture is asked for and to absolutely refuse to let any one take a catalogue for a moment. One nice old lady took me at my word, and I really believe she asked me every single number in the room. I did more than 25 cents' worth of work for her, I can tell you. The worst is telling people the price of pictures. Aft - ter about six weeks of it it grates on one's nerves. This is what continually happens: A threadbare old gentleman comes to the desk: " `Do you know the price of pic- tures?' be asks. "'Yes; would you like to know the price of any?' I reply. " 'There is one in the other room,' be says. • 'What is the number?' I ask. "`I can't tell you the number. but it's in the other room.' "Tlien I have to send him for the number. " `No. 221.' "'That is $500. "'Why?' asks my old gentleman. "If it's early in the afternoon, I ex- plain to. him that I suppose the artist thinks it worth that; that he is well known, or what uot; later I say. 'I don't knew.' Not one person in 50 of those who ask the price have the slightest idea of buying. Some will go through half an exhibition and in- sist on knowing the prices of all. 1 get so tired of being polite and affable to all these people PeOp a the t bythe time I get out in the evening I am ready to insult my dearest friend for the sake of being rude to some one. It's so hopeless telling the price of a picture over and over again and each time having the people exclaim, 'What an awful price!' "A great many people hold me per- sonally responsible for the pictures. Lots of people come and talk very dis- agreeably to me about them. 'What makes them have such bad shows?' they ask me. Young men come up and say, 'Isn't this awful trash?' in an accusing sort of way, as though I had done it all myself. And one man fairly shook bis fist in my face and demanded his money back. 'It's a swindler he shouted at me. But it really wasn't my fault. "At private exhibitions it's different. There people come up to me and say, 'Whata privilege to sit among the works of the masters all day!' I don't tell them that if I sat among the works of the masters much longer I should go mad, but I would like to. "The other day a friend of mine took my place. A man came up to her and asked: "'Miss, is your picture among these works of art?' "'Why, no,' she replied. "He stood off a little way and quinted at her. 'It should be—you e worthy of it. Did no one ever tell you you had a beautiful profile?' "That was a little startling, coming from an utter stranger. Later she learned that her admirer was —, the well known photographer. Of course be bad been looking at her through an artist's eyes and from a purely ar- tistic standpoint and had meant no offense. But it was trying."—New York Commercial Advertiser. I was retained to defend a man for stealing a horse. This elated me very much, for I was not aware at the time that the case bad been refused by all the other lawyers in town, as defend- ing a horse thief was not a thing to be desired if a man valued his life. "The case came to trial before an old s judge and a jury composed of bewhisk- ta- ered ranchers. Thele was no doubt that the man was guilty. but he had a W number of friends who *ere willing to ho swear to anything, and I thought it I- was my duty to make the best possible use of them. They were all wining to swear that the defendant was 40 miles away from tet spot when the horse was stolen, and the prosecution was unable to break down their testimony. I saw that I was going to free my client, so it was with a satisfied air that I saw the jury leaving the room to prepare their verdict. "They were back in five minutes, and the old judge asked them if they had succeeded in arriving at a verdict. "'We hey,' answered the foreman, as lie shifted the gun he carried on his hip.- 'We find the defendant not guilty an recommend the defendant's lawyer, owin to his youth an innocence, to the n.ercy of the court.'. "While I was gasping for breath the judge , fined me $500 and suspended sentence long enough for ine to get out of town. It wasn't law, but I didn't stop to argue the matter." -Chicago In- ter Ocean. Fire at Weddings. FIre is an essential in some wedding celebrations. In Persia the service is read in front of a fire. In Nicaragua the priest, taking the couple each by the little finger, leads them to r, tt apartment where a fire is lighted and there instructs the bride in her duties, extinguishing it by way of conclusion. In Japan the woman kindles a torch. and the bridegroom lights one from it, the playthings of the wife being burnt then and there. Easy Plan. "That young man," said the citizen, pointing to a sharp featured youth across the street, "has made fame both for himself and this his native la vil- ge. "As to how ?" asked the stranger. "Simply by sending telegrams of con- gratulation or condolence, as the occa- sion called for, to prominent persons." —Indianapolis Journal A GREAT WRESTLER. His Encounter With the Cigar and His Ignoble Reward. One of the stories of Peter the Great which are current at the court of St. Petersburg is of the great czar's wres- tling match with a young dragoon. One:: in the Imperial palaee—so the story goes—Peter was at table with a great many princes and noblemen, and soldiers were posted withiu the hall The ezar was in a joyous mood, and, rising, called -out to the company: "Listen, princes and boyars! Is there among you one who will wrestle with the czar?" There was no reply, and the czar repeated the challenge. No priuee or nobleman dared to wrestle with Ills sovereign, But all at once a young dragoon stepped out from the ranks of the soldiers on guard. "Listen, Orthodox czar," he said. "I will wrestle with thee!" "Well, young dragoon," said Peter, "I will wrestle with thee, but on these conditions: If thou throwest me, I will pardon thee; but, if thou art thrown, thou shalt be beheaded. Wilt thou wrestle on those conditions?" "I will, great czar," said the soldier. They closed, and presently the soldier with his left arnl threw the czar and with Isis right he prevented him from falling to the ground. The sovereign was clearly beaten. The czar offered the soldier whatever reward he should claim, and lie Ignobly claimed the privilege of drinkiug free, as long as he lived, in all the iuns belonging to the crown.

He "Peeked" Too. Mrs. Blank found herself in a rather embarrassing situation one day when she was dining for tbe first time at the home of a minister. Opposite her sat the minister's little boy, a sharp eyed little fellow of 4 years. While his fa- , tiler was asking a somewhat lengthy blessing the lady elevated her eyelids slightly and caught the eye of the little fellow opposite her. The instant his father said "Amen" the boy pointed an accusing finger to- ward Mrs. Blank and cried out shrilly: "She peeked, papa! she peeked!"—Har- per's Bazar. Dehoraed to Save Room.

"George," said Mrs. Yonnglove, "do you know that you have kissed me only once during the past three hours?" "Yes," be replied.

Temper, says an authority, bas im- mense influence on the tone of the sing- ing voice.

The population of the world increases 10 per cent every ten years. Conversation Without Words. The traveler in a foreign land is not necessarily helpless because he does not know the language. Nor was a corre- spondent who admits that when he er,- tered Italy his nine wcrds of French and 15 words of German were of no great use to him. He says: In Genoa I went into a photogra- pher's shop and selected a dozen photo- graphs. I pointed at the photograps and look- ed at him inquiringly, which meant "How much ?" He nodded his head and wrote "14" on a slip of paper. I nodded, signifying "I will take them." He walked over to a calendar hang- ing on the wall and,pointed to 29. Then he walked back and picked up the photo- graphs and shook his head, which clear- ly meant that he could' not allow me to take the ones I had selected, but would have the others printed by the 29th. Thereupon I pointed to 25 on the cal- endar and said "Roma," which ineent that I should depart for Rome on that date. He nodded and then pointed to 80 and asked "Eh?" which meant, "Shall you be in Rome until the 80th t" r nodded violently. "Hotel?' he asked. I wrote my Rome address on a slip of paper. In making change be held out 1 lira. "Poste," he explained. Then I departed.

Our total conversa- tion was just five words.—Chicago Rec- ord. Muscular Powers of a Beetle. The following anecdote of a three horned beetle will give some idea of its vast strength of body. A beetle was brought in, and, there being no box at hand in which to put it, it was clapped under a quart bottle of milk, which happened to be upon the table, the hol- low at the bottom of the bottle allowing the insect to stand upright. Presently the bottle began to move slowly and glide along the smooth ta- ble, propelled by the muscular power of the imprisoned beetle, and continued its travels for some time, to the aston- ishment of all who witnessed, it. The weight of the bottle and its contents could not have been less than three pounds and a half, while that of the beetle was about half an ounce. So that it readily moved a weight 112 times greater than its own. A better notion than figures can con- vey will be obtained of this feat by sup- posing a lad of 15 to be imprisoned under a great bell weighing 12,000 pounds and to move it taand fro -upon a smooth pavement -by pushing it from within.—New York Sun. The Diet of the Consumptive. Dr. Cotter of New York, one of the editors of The Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette, declares the most important part of the treatment of tuberculosis patients is the diet. It should, be says, consist largely of animal foods. Of these, eggs and milk should preponder- ate. Eggs are best given raw when the patient can take them thus. The albn- men of the egg is similar to blood albn- men and is digested, or rather absorb- ed, into the blood without undergoing an elaborate digestive process. The white of the egg, mixed with water, is often tolerated ole ated whe n theY alk cannot be borne by the stomach. Bone marrow of the ox he regards as of greater value than cod liver oil. Good batter may be need freely and should be spread thick- ly on thin slices of bread. Heavy meals are to be avoided. The patient should take small quantities of food between meals. Clear Evidence.

THE TINY WARRIORS ARE FLt1OCIOUS IN BATTLE THE REST WOOL HOUSE So Vicious Are They That liven the Largest Animals Dare Not fleet Them In combat — A Jinn Whom I heir Rites Made n laving Maniac. "I t. as one of six American miners who were routed from their camp by a Venezuelan ant army." said a mining expert who lately arrived from Vene- zuela. "We retreated before the in- vaders without making a fight, and for two good reasons. In the first place we would have got the worst of the encounter, and, secondly, we knew that if we let them alone they would do us a good service. �.."Shortly- after dawn one Sunday our native cook burst in upon us with the news that we were about to be attack. ed by an army of ants. We had heard enough about ant armies to know what to do. We arose hastily, and ev- ery ounce of provisions that was not sealed in cans or in jars was hurriedly piled on a table, the four legs of which were immersed in as many basins of water. Every maneuver that is known to the armies of civilized humans you may safely expect from an ant army, but the little black warriors have never learned to swim. Our provisions thus protected, we left the camp to itself and went out to reconnoiter for the in- vaders and to watch their assault from a distance. The army was mak- ing fair time. An irregular patch of black 10 feet wide and double as long was swarming steadily toward our camp. As the army was in no way disturbed by our presence it was pos- sible to approach its lines closely. There must have --been trillions upon millions of little soldiers marching hip to hip. At the head marched the lead- er. On went the army, up the posts of the camp and then within. "Once within, the army spread itself in all directions, forming hundreds of little attacking parties. The camp was an old palm thatched affair and so in- fested with scorpions, centipeds and spiders that we had been on the point of destroying it. Now, however, the ants had come and would clean house for us, and therefore they were wel- come. The ants swarmed up the joists and the dry leafy wails, and wherever there was a spider or a bug there was a brief tussle and a dead foe. But there was bigger game in store for the invaders. "The star battle was with au im- mense centiped, one of the bluish gray kind, about seven inches long and as big around as your middle finger. He darted out of a hole like a blue streak, evidently trusting to Lis speed and superior strength to run through the enemy's ranks. But he didn't go three feet before he was stopped. Ants literally covered hits. Ile turned on himself and swept them from his back, but before he had gone another three feet he was buried beneath another swarm of his plucky assailants. And then began a fight to the death. Again and again he swept his tormentors from his back while from all sides hurried streams of ants to take the place of fallen comrades. The wrig- gling of the big fellow became less vio- lent as the fight progressed, and final- ly, after an effort, which I well knew was a desperate last one, be remained quiet while what little life was left in him was bitten out of him. Later, when the army had retreated and when we had swept up the centipeds and scor- pions and lizards and a tarantula which the ant army had vanquished, we put the hero of the star battle un- der a quartz magnifying glass. The bodies of dead ants still clung to their foe. From his back, from his legs, from wherever there was a chance for a hold, the bodies of ants dangled, hold- ing on, I suppose, by their teeth. "Perhaps you wonder what would happen to a man who would under- take to fight au army of ants, assum- ing, of course, that the man relies on his natural means of defense—his hands and feet. I can best illustrate that by the rare story of an unfortu- nate who was brought to a hospital in Caracas shortly before my return home. The man was a coolie- who had worked on a cocoa plantation in a creek not far from Caracas. Following a habit of some of his countrymen, the coolie, owing to the heat; had left his camp and stretched himself on the ground to sleep outdoors. Exactly what followed no ene can say with cer- tainty. Presumably he was surrounded and covered by an army of ants be- fore he awakened. At dawn the shrieks and cries of a man in agony aroused the inmates of the camp, who ran out to learn the cause. "The man was gesticulating wildly and calling for help, whiled he squirm- ed and writhed and slapped his face and neck and chest and legs in a mad effort to slap himself all ever at once. He was standing in the midst of an army of ants and was too distracted with pain to run away. Then he did exactly what a panther or leopard does when he is being overcome. The man threw himself to the ground to roll his tormentor to death. A single active white man could have saved the poor wretch, but the stupefied, barelegged coolies dared not, or thought not, of rescue, while the victim himself was too crazed with agony to seek other than Instant relief. From a slight per- sonal experience 1 know the poor fel- low was burning in a fire which would take hours to kill him. "Finally a bystander regained his wits and rushed into the midst of the army and dragged the man after him and threw him into the creek. The rescue came too late. The victim be- came unconscious.

SOUTHERN POWER SCHEME. North Carolina Cotton Mill to Be Run by Electricity. Definite plans have been undertaken for the development of a big water power property in North Carolina. On account of the magnitude of this new development and its location the en- terprise is already called "The Niagara of the Cotton Belt." Its situation is at the "narrows" of the Yadkin river, in Stanley county, N. C. The total power available in times of dry season is about 40,000 horsepower. By the adop- tion of storage reservoirs, which the high batiks of the river favor, this power can be greatly increased. Baltimore engineers anti mechanics who had a part in the work which brought the electric current from Niag- ara to Buffalo and furnished the means to turn the wheels in that city of the street cars, factories and other power consumers are engaged in this new project. The North Carolina Power company is the name of the corpora- tion that will carry out the plan. It owus the entire property along the Yadkin river, where the power devel- opment is to be made, including 4,000 acres of land on both sides of the river, thus controlling the situation- The top- ographical features are regarded as particularly well adapted for econom- ical development, as the river at the "narrows" passes through a granite lipped gorge but 75 feet wide at its widest and only 30 feet wide at its narrowest part. In the 12 miles the total fall is 220 feet. The development will probably be made in two divisions. following this water power develop- ment is to come the movement to this section of cotton mill Interests. Plans are now being formulated for a large cotton mill to be built on the property. This mill is designed to be an advance upon present plants not only in the south, but in the north as well. Be- sides modern machinery of approved type. the whole plant will be electrical- ly driven. Some novel features will be Introduced in this regard to simplify operations. This development of water power promises to be one of the most interesting yet made, and it is contem- plated to transmit the power to points within a radius of 50 miles. It has been determined to install machinery of the most modern style and make the big development the most effective that money and skill can secure. The Yad- kin river for a ter.ii of -years has been particularly regular : in flow, and as there is no danger of interruption by freezing in winter there will be no need of auxiliary steam plants, as in the north. Broiling by Gas. A very small and compact apparatus for roasting and broiling by gas has been patented, says the Brooklyn Ea- gle, by Abraham Lurie anti Louts Bi - loon of New York.

PARAFFIN AND ITS USES. 011 Wells Which Spout Gallons of Petroleum. Paraffin wax candles and the ex- treme northeastern frontier of the In- dian empire, declares the London Sketch, appear on first reflection to have but little connection with each other. The Digboi oil wells, however, situated in a remote corner of Assam, turn out, with their present small re- finery and plant, 1,200 of these candles daily and should in the course of a few years, be capable of meeting any demand for oil and wax that is likely t0 arise. Recent drilling operations, indeed, af- ford conclusive evidence that the terri- tory may be made to yield at least 1•i00,000 gallons a month of petroleum of excellent quality. There are now four wells at Digboi, which are repre- sented in the illustration at the mo- ment of their annual inspection by the prepared with Calumet Baking Powder is free from Rochelle Salts, Alum, or any injurious substance.

The Arabic Alphabet. The Arabic alphabet has 29 letters, each of which is written differently, according as it stands alone or, in com- bination with other letters, at the be- ginning, middle or end of, a word. To learn the alphabet, therefore, means to memorize 4x29=.116 different signs. It takes 72,000 tons of paper to make the post cards used in England each year. PUMPINGPARAFFIN OUT OF THE DIGf30I OIL WELLS. chief commissioner of Assam. The spectacle of four jets spouting black oil to a height of 70 feet supplies a striking picture of the resources of these wells. The oil falls into a natu- ral reservoir, one end of which is arti- ficially dammed up,and the supply Is considerably in excess of the capacity of the existing refinery to work off. A suitable refinery on a larger scale is al- ready in contemplation. The enterprise has been pushed for- ward in the face of great difficulties and at great expense. Now that these difficulties have at last been success- fully overcome, the prosperity of the Assam oil wells is assured, and the pio- neers of the undertaking have every likelihood of reaping a rich harvest for their arduous struggle against malaria and jungle. Snake Serum For Leprosy. A dispatch from New Orleans an- nounces some remarkable results at- tained by Dr. Isidceo Dyar of that city in treating leprosy with Dr. Calmette's famous snake s. -:rum. The serum in question is made from the poison of serpents and is designed solely as a cure for snake bites. Dr. Dyar visited Dr. Calmette's laboratory in Paris and brought away with him some of the serum for the purpose of experiment- ing with it on leprosy. It appears that among the traditions of the leper col- ony in Louisiana was one that several lepers who had been bitten by ven- omous snakes were cured. Dr. Dyar applied the serum to five cases of leprosy in New Orleans, and in two of the cases absolute cures were effected. In two other cases there was a marked improvement, and the cases were lost sight of, so that the final result was not known. In the fifth case the man's system proved repellent to the poison, and the change was for the worse rather than the better.—Buffalo Ex- press, Do Fishes Sleep? Dr. Theodor Beer claims to have decided in the affirmative, by his ob- servations at the biological station in Naples, the much disputed question whether fishes sleep or not. It has long been known that fishes lose their activity at the appearance of darkness and remain for hours floating in the same spot, even their usually restless eyes being motionless. Most fishes sleep in this way, just as horses sleep standing. If the equilibrium of the body is disturbed by clipping the fins, which soon grow out again, the fish sleep floating in a vertical position. Few fishes seek the bottom to sleep, but many float on their sides and can be caught with the hand, a fact well known to sailors. The eyes of most fishes are open necessarily during sleep, owing to the absence of eye- lids.—Detroit News -Tribune. Date Growing In Arizona. If present advices are correct, anoth- er important industry, that of date growing, will shortly be inaugurated in this country. Through the efforts of our agricultural department the date tree of Algiers has been successfully acclimated in Arizona, and the begin- ning of another profitable industry has thus been made. It is predicted that in a few years American orchards will supply the entire home demand for dates. It would seem that not only Arizona, but New Mexico, the "staked plain" region of Texas and considera- ble patches in California and the In- dian Territory afford the peculiar con- ditions of soil and climate necessary for the date. It does not appear to thrive in regions where the humidity is so great as in our gulf states. A sin- gle tree yields from 100 to 400 pounds of dates per annum.—Bradstreet's. The Retort Discourteous.

"People who imagine that animals haven't got feelings don't know what they are talktig about," said the Yel- lowstone Park guide as he sat clean- ing his rifle. "I was cutting a trail around one of the sproutin springs one day, and, getting warmed up, I threw my coat over the end of a log. By and by I went off to hunt for a drink of water, and it was perhaps half an hour before 1 returned to my work. "When I came up. it was to see a whalin big mountain lion ereepin along to spring on the coat. It was over the log in a way to make it look like a man stoopin down, and the lion was nicely deceived. He skulked up to within 18 feet of the log, crouched flat for a mo- ment and laid back his ears, and then he made two jumps of it. Greased lightnin wasn't in it with that critter. It was like a big ball of fur shot from a cannon, and as he flew he uttered a screech which brought my hair on end. If that coat had been a man he would not have had time to say gum. The lion lit down on it with claws and teeth ready for business, and in five seconds the garment was cut into carpet rags. "Then he realized the cheat, and you never saw a human bein look so fool- ish; Itis tail went down to the earth, the fire died out of his eyes and he'd have given $40 for some one to kick him up hill. His chagrin was so plain that I laughed right out, and that broke his heart. He looked at me and whimpered like a puppy, and when I asked if his mother knew he was out he fetched a sort of sob in his throat and sneaked off like a dog caught kill - in sheep. If I could have run fast enough to have caught him by the tail he would't have even looked back. He knew he had made a fool of himself, and he wanted to go off and hide and have a long think."—Chicago Inter Ocean. PIDGIN ENGLISH. The Queer Jargon Used by the Busi- ness People of China. The nondescript tongue known as "pidgin English" is almost the only medium of communication between foreigners and the Chinese, and nine - tenths of the enormous business done In China between the English and the Chinese is done through this grotesque gibberish. Mr. Chester Holcombe, in his "heal Chinaman," gives two amus- ing anecdotes to show how absurd it is. A young foreigner who called upon two young ladies, also foreigners, was informed by their Chinese servant "that two piecey girlo no can see. Number one piecey top side makee washee, washee. Number two piecey go outside, makee walkee, walkee." He meant to say that the elder of the two was taking a bath up stairs, and the youngest had gone out. When King Kalakaua of the Ha- waiian Islands visited Shanghai, he occupied a suit of rooms up one flight of stairs at the Astor House. Two American gentlemen called to pay their respects one morning, and, meet- ing the proprietor, inquired if the king was in. "I will see," replied the land- lord, and, shouting to a Chinese serv- ant, asked: "Boy! That piecey king top side, had got?" "Hab got," la- conically answered the servant. "Gen- tlemen, his majesty is in. Pray walk up," said the landlord. New Device In Cameras. Films on rolls were introduced into photography to overcome the burden and trouble of carrying a lot of glass plates in plate holders. Films are not as capable of fine negatives as glass plates, however, and now the leading makers of photogropbic materials are offering cameras which carry a dozen glass plates, each of which can be moved after being exposed to the rear of the camera and out of harm's way 1 y means of a aexible leather bag attach d to the side or top of the instrument. -- New York Press. Taking the Cowboy's Picture. "Now," said the border photogra- pher, pulling bis gun and leveling it across the camera at the man in the chair, "will yon have the kindness to look pleasant f" Much amused by the cheek and the cool nerve of the request thus conveyed, the bold cowboy smiled broadly, and at that instarls the border photographer pressed the button. --Chicago Inter Ocean.

If you will take any pavement that is clear of other pedestrians, so that there shall be no interference, and walk briskly in the center, you will find that before you have gone 100 yards you will have veered very much to one side. You must not make any conscious effort, of course, to keep in the center, or you may do it, but if you will think of something and en- deavor to walk naturally it is 100 to 1 you cannot keep a direct line. The explanation of this lies in the peculiarity of one foot to walk faster than the other. Or, to be more cor- rect, perhaps it should be said that one leg takes a longer stride than the other, and this, combined with the quicker movement, causes one to walk more to one side than the other. It is well ktown, for instance, that if one be lost in the woods the tend- ency is to walk in a circl.: and even- tually to return about to the starting point. This demonstrates the Pact also - that one foot walks faster than the other. You can try an interesting experi- ment in this way if you will place two stakes in the lawn about eight feet apart and then stand off about 60 feet from them, allow yourself to be blindfolded and endeavor to walk between them. You will find it an al- most impossible task, because one foot will go a bit faster than the other, either to the right or left. Now, which one of your feet walks faster than the other?—Kansas City Times. Overdiplomatie. Mr. Meekton was gazing at his wife with that inane and amiable fixety which comes into a man's face when he has been napping and is ashamed of the fact. "Leonidas," she said sternly. "What is it. my dear Y" he inquired as be straightened himself up in his sleepy hollow chair. - "What is the matter?" "Nothing is the matter," he Bald, growing red in the face. "I haven't in' timated that there was anything wrong, have I?" "No. But you have been behaving rather queerly. Just now you gave a little start and exclaimed, 'Yes, Hen- rietta. I agree with yon perfectly.' " "Well," answered he, apprehensive- ly, "there isn't anything in that to take exception to, is there?" "Are you sure yon meant it?'' "Every word of it." "Yen had given the matter due con- sideration before yon spoke?" "Certainly. Do yon doubt me, Hen- rietta ?" "Oh, no. But 1 can't help attaching some significance to the fact that 1 hadn't uttered a word dnring the ten minutes previous to your enthusiastic indorsement of my sentiments." "Well, to tell the truth, Henrietta, I had been asleep, and solnething awoke me, and I natnrally supposed—that is to say, I took it for granted"— And then he gave it np.—Washington Star India Rubber. Few articles are more indispensable to modern life than those into which india rubber enters as a whole or a part. It touches us from the cradle to the grave, furnishing the nipple for the baby's nursing bottle and the water bed for the sick man to die on. Inter- mediately scarcely a day goes by with- out its use in promoting our comfort or pleasure or in alleviating our neces- sities. Yet there are people not very old who remember when the substance was more of a cariosity than a useful commodity. In 1844 Charles Goodyear's French patent and in the next year his United States patent for the vulcaniza- tion cf the gum were isened, and it is since then that the innumerable indus- trial applications of india rubber be- came practical. —Self Cnitnie. The Pyramid Builders. The laborers who built the pyramids did not work under such disadvantages as have long been attributed to them. Recent research shows that they had solid and tubular drills and lathe tools. The drills were set -with jewels and cat into the rocks with keenness and accu- racy. weread THE GAZETTE. IRVING TODD & SON. SATURDAY, JULY 8th, 1899. DIED. -On Monday morning, June 26th. Frederica, the beloved wife of C. H. L. Lange, of acute rheumatism. Again the death angel has visited our midst and plucked another Clower. Frederica Rehse was born in Ger- many in 1835. At au early age she accompanied her parents to this coun- try, settling at Galena, Ill. In 1851 she married C. H. L. Lange at that place. In 1859 they moved to Belle- vue, Ia., where they resided until 1862 when they made Hastings, Minn., their home. The years '73 and '74 were spent in St. Paul, but in '75 they returned to Hastings at which place they resided until '83 when they mov- ed to Ortonville, Minn., where they made their home until last summer when they carne to Northville. Mrs. Lange was taken sick about four weeks previous to her death and despite the best medical aid and all that loving and willing hands could do she passed away on Monday morn- ing. She was a fond wife, loving mother and true friend and gained the esteem of all with whom she be came acquainted. When first taken sick she thought she would not recover and requested that she be buried at Oltonville, at which place the remains were interred on Tuesday. She leaves a husband, three sons, C. T. Lange, of Pine Ridge, Neb., J. H. Lange, of Ortonville, Minn., W. F. Lange, of Northville, and two daugh- ters, Mrs. Jessen of Northville and Mrs. D. H. Young of St. Paul; a brother, J. F. Rehse, of Stewart, Minn., and a sister, Mrs. Armbrus- ter of St. Paul, to mourn her loss. The Journal joins the many friends of the family in extending sympathy to them iu this their dark hour of sorrow. A precious one from us has gone. A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home. Which never can be tilled. God in His wisdom has recalled. The boon His love had given; And though the body moulders here. The soul is safe in heaven. -The Northville (8. D.) Journal. High School Notes. Prof. W. F. Kunze announces that the examination of teachers will take place during the week preceding the opening of school. Instructions, giv- ing the subjects in which each teacher is to he examined and other informa- tion, will be sent out shortly. It has been decided to begin the Everett, Cooper and Tilden schools, the seventh and eighth grades of the Irving and the high school on Mon- day, Sept. 4th. The high school will --occupy the Bryant building and the seventh and eighth grades the wood- shed school. The other grades will probably not be started until the new building is finished.

We notice from offi- cial reports that our tests rank at the top. In about three hundred samples of Minnesota beets analyzed last year at the government experiment sta- tion, the average sugar was shown at fifteen; average purity coefficient eighty-three and three -tenths; highest sugar content, eighteen and three - tenths. This shows great superiority over the general average through the whole country. -Austin Transcript. The Probate Court. A. J. Jeremy was appointed ad- ministrator of C. C.

To Suicides Commencing. • The advertisement in the newspaper ran as follows: "Suicides commencing —These should write for appointment to Rex Blake, 72 Uppingdon Gardens. South Kensington." Herbert Streuth, artist, received an appointment for 2 :30 on Wednesda' afternoon. Ho called at the South Ken- sington address and was shown into a solidly furnished library, where a podgy little old gentleman with white hair shook him warmly by the hand and bade hint to be seated. "I am very pleased to see you, Mr. Strenth, and I trust that I may be of some service to you—in fact, that we may be of service to each other. But I must begin by asking you a plain ques- tion, which you will answer truthfully and in one word. Is your intended sui- cide connected in any way with severe poverty or overwhelming financial losses?' "No," said Streuth, "I am consider- ed, I believe, to be fairly well off." "Delighted to hear it," said Mr. Blake, rubbing his chubby hands to- gether, "now we will proceed. I tell yon frankly that with me this thing is a business and nothing but a business. If you decide that I can serve you I shall expect a moderate fee. Now, what are the principal objections to suicide?" "The law does not permit .it," said Strenth. "Precisely, but in the case of the successful suicide the law is not asked. It says that yon may not take your life away. but if you do it cannot compel yon to take it back again or punish you in any way. We can leave the law out.' "There is also the religions objec- tion," said Strenth. "Many very religions people," replied Mr. Blake, "have not found it cogent. Take the case, by no means an uncom- mon one, where the death of one man may be an inestimable benefit to many to whom he is really sincerely attached. Is an act of self sacrifice to be regarded as a crime? No; it seems to me that each suicide must be judged on its own merits, taking into consideration the motives and beliefs of the person suicid- "ing. .Any other opinions?" "I know no none," Strenth answered. ed. "In fact, I have not been thinking much about it. I want to get cut of things. I don't ask myself if there are any objections or not. I don't care if there are any objections." "Yon surprise me," said Mr. Blake. "Yon aro an artist, and yet it has not occurred to you that the manner cf the suicide is of essential importance. The throat cutting is very dirty, and the same objection applies to the use of firearms. Have a little foresight. Imag- ine what you look like afterward, and the state of the bedclothes, and all the rest of it." "I was intending, " said Strenth, "to drown myself." "I have here," said Mr. Blake, "a little work on forensic medicine. There are some interesting chapters .on the signs by which yon can tell the length of time the body has been in the water. Did yon ever hear of adipocere? There is an elegant little description of it in this passage. Just read it." Streuth took it and read a few lines. "I can't stand this," he said ; "it is too nauseous. " "I thought you would see it in that light," Mr. Blake replied. "People mostly do when I put it to them. Yon really can't tell what a river's going to do to you. It may give yon back at Puce, or it may keep yon for a bit. yen if it gives yon back at once you don't look pretty. Here's a description of the face of a man taken out of the Thames on"— "Yon needn't go on with that. I have given np the idea of drowning myself. There is still poison. A little prussic acid and the bother is all over." "Excellent," said Mr. Blake. "If you know the right dose, yon die almost immediately. But you've got an awful ;moment. If you don't know the right Idose, yon have a very bad time. Yon will be found with your hands violently !clinched, your eyes glistening and your pupils dilated, and yon will shriek just t?efore" your death. Unpleasant, isn't "Well," said Streuth, "there are ther poisons." "All are open to objections. Chloral !May kill yon comfortably or make you sick. Other anaesthetics may lead to your being discovered while in a state of unconsciousness, but not dead, and the treatment they give you then is not \pretty. Many quick poisons are pain- ful, very painful, and in any case you leave your body about after. So untidy —such a want of neatness! Every sui- cide is anxious to wipe himself right out, to get away from public attention. 21 he leaves that body about after, peo- ple_ sit as it and say that he was tem - porarily insane, and one of the jury is rude to the coroner, and the coroner is severe to one of the jury, and the whole thing gets into the papers and the fam- ily is disgraced, and everybody feels that the death was grossly inartistic." "I don't know," said Streuth, "if you imagine that by telling me these things you can deter me from the end which I have in view. If so, pray do not waste your time and mine any fur- ther. " "I had no such idea," said Mr. Blake. "All I wish to do is to give yon a chance of committing suicide in the best possible way. No pain, no scandal, no untidy body lying about afterward. A simple, mysterious disappearance, your own self respect saved, and the feelings of your family spared." "Well," said Streuth, "what is it ?' "Fire, plain fire, that is all. Near Weybridge there is a certain furnace which is kept going day and night. Its beat is enormous. There are no half measures about that furnace. The very moment yon go into it yon are dead. Half an hour afterward nothing of you is left that is recognizable as ever hav- ing been human. I will give you direc- tions and admission card in exchange for your check for £5 so soon as that check has been cleared." Strewth pnlled five sovereigns from his pocket and put them on the table. "I will take the directions and card of admission now." "Certainly," saidBlake. "This lit- tle 'Ian makes your way clear from Weybridge station.

Yon cannot miss it; the plan is on a large scale and every possible landmark is indicated.

Three days afterward Strenth, with a smile on his face, called once more on Mr. Blake. Mr. Blake did not seem at all surprised to see him. "Let us speak plainly," said Mr. Blake. "You were afraid of the fire?" • "I was," said Streuth. "Everybody is. It is the most awful element, having in it something of the supernatural. I have sent 175 suicides to that place and only three handed their tickets to the night porter." "And did the three commit suicide?' "Not They came out again. Not one of them has committed suicide or ever will. Yon won't, for instance." "No," said Strenth; "common sense has dawned. After all," he muttered, "she is not the only girl in the world." "Many of my clients," said Blake smilingly, "give me some little present, some trifling souvenir on their return." Strenth put his hand into his waist- coat pocket. As he fumbled with the coins he said, "Suppose that one of those three who did give up his ticket to the porter had committed suicide, yon would have stood a fair chance of getting yonrself into a meas." "Not at all," said Blake genially, "not at all. To prevent the possibility of accidents there isn't any furnace." He swept the sovereigns from the table into the palm of his hand. "Most liberal of yon, I'm sure."— Barry Pain. The Hotel Porter's Neat Joke. In the barber shop connected with a big down town hotel works a colored porter who chatters incessantly. The hostelry has had the misfortune to be the scene of an unusually large number of violent deaths recently, and the por- ter has plenty material for conversation. He loves to dwell upon a suicide or a murder and is looked upon as an au- thority on the death record of the hoteL The other day he was brushing a cus- tomer's coat and commenced the follow- ing conversation: "Say, boss, hear 'boat de horrible murder on floor Y dis mornin ?" "No l" exclaimed the man. "Is it possible there has been another?" "Sure 'nongh," said the negro, de- voting renewed energy to the brushing operation. "Who was killed?" asked the man. "Oh, a wall paper man done went up dere and hung up a border." The customer paid his bill and left. The colored porter went into the check- room, where he could laugh as hard as he wanted.—Chicago Journal. A Mule Chews Tobacco. Balaam's donkey is doubtless the only one that ever spoke to man, but it seems that there are some trying to im- itate man's ways. A Fayette county farmer has one of this sort. Old Silas for years had his stall in a tobacco barn, where it often chanced that scraps of the soothing weed got into his rations. Perhaps he regarded it as a kind of sauce; anyhow, be finally became at- tached to it, like his master, and now he can't do without it. If he fails to get his morning's chew, it is useless to harness him to anything. He will not budge a peg—his no means no. His master knows what the trouble is. He goes down in his pocket, fishes up his own twist and makes a peace offering. The old mule almost laughs as he rolls the quid into his cheek and proceeds to his work as meekly as a lambkin. His master claims that Silas is as good a judge of a "chew" as of oats.—Win- chester (Kan.) Democrat Sociological. The Seeker—Really, Is there such a thing as honor among thieves?

"something hap- pens to remind me that I .slitr aJ a novice in the art of life. For instance, my shoes were wearing out, and in one of them there was an ugly crack in the top.

But 1 had not the money wherewith to buy another pact, and, though it may seem ridiculous.

Washington, hearing that the colored sentinels could not be trusted, went out one night to ascertain if the report was correct. The countersign was "Cam- bridge," and the general, disguised, as he thought, by a large overcoat, ap- proached a colored sentry. "Who goes there?" cried the senti- nel. "A friend," replied Washington. "Friend, advance, unarmed, and give the countersign, " said the colored man. Washington came up and said, "Rox- bury." "No, Bah!" was the response.

Laegend of a Drug. Chinese herbs usually have some legend connected with them to illus- trate their virtues, and this is the story couneeted with the "Haw" herb: Haw Show Woo was a very good, very de- vout and very old man. One day he was accused of stealing the affections of his brother's wife and was sent to prison for trial. He became very hun- gry and prayed to the gods as became a man of his great piety. During the night a bush sprang up through the floor of his dungeon, and in the morn- ing the famished man ate the leaves. Days went by while he was waiting for his trial, and he continued to piece out his scanty diet with the leaves of the bush. court for "This is 1 ed and cE When he was taken into trial the officers exclaimed: 0 t the man who was arrest - alined in the cell. The cul- prit is au old man; this is a young man." Sure enough Ilaw had become a young man to all appearances again. He was innocent of the charge against him, and when released by the judge Haw told him the story of the little plant that had grown up in his cell and how he had eaten the leaves. The officials dug up the shrub and presented it to the emperor. His fami- 1y for many years was the only one that had the privilege of eating the sacred leaves. But as time passed slips were cut from it and sent through the kingdom, and now the commonest coolie may eat of the wonderful Haw plant and renew his youth if he pos- sesses enough money. s San Francisco Call.

There's a dog in Bucharest who has just distinguished himself by identify- ing his master's murderer. The murdered man was the proprie- tor of a wine shop. His shop boy was sleeping in the taproom on the night of the murder, the dog between his feet, when he heard a shot. The mur- derer a moment later entered the shop, presumably to rob it, but was driven away by the dog. which followed the fugitive, barking. Afterward he came back alone. Sever?tl suspects were ar- rested. The shop boy had never seen the robber's face and could not iden- tify him. Finally the inspector of po- lice arranged the wine shop as it had been on the night of the murder and compelled the suspected men to enter it one by one. Three passed unchal- lenged and came out again, vastly re- lieved. Then a peasant named Dracu en- tered. At once the dog flew at him, chased him out of doors, precisely as he had done on the night of the mur- der. Draeu was handcuffed and held for trial. Letting It Out. A lady who had a servant somewhat given to curiosity inquired on return- ing from a visit one afternoon: "Did the postman leave any letters, Mary?' "Nothing but a postcard, ma'am." "Who is it from, Mary?" "And do you think I'd read it, ma'am?" said the girl with an injured air. "Perhaps not; but any one who sends me messages on postcards is stupid or impertinent." "You'll excuse me, ma'am," returned the girl loftily, "but I must say that's a nice way to be talking about your own mother." — Sydney Town and Country Journal.

The upper canine teeth of the pigs are removed, and that gives the lower tusks a chance to grow as much as they wish. The lower teeth grow, and finding no resistance, attain a good length. The teeth grow in "a spiral, and the tip often lies beside the root of the tooth. Very rarely the point grows into the root of the tooth and makes a complete circle.

A handsome young fellow stood at the glove counter of a large store the other day and fairly hypnotized the four girl attendants. He had a word for one, a smile for another, a wink for a third and a pink for the fourth—by far the pret- tiest of the quartet. The floral offering was too much for the pinkless three, and they all turned on the radiant recipient of the flower. "Say, Nellie Norries, you're too fresh! Ain't you got a nerve! Flirt- ing that way with a stranger." "Oh, go on!" laughed the shameless one. "Youse all jealous! 'Tain't my fault if he thinks me the prettiest." The young man laughed gayly. "That's so," he said. "And you are too." He was a silly young man. For the trio now attacked him with zestful bitterness. "Say, mister, you'd better get your change and go before the floorwalker comes around. You'll get that poor girl discharged, and that'll be a nice thing, when her father drinks and her mother's in the hospital." "Nellie" tutned on them like a fury. "Don't you tell no lies about me," she said fiercely, "or for two pins I'll tell what you said about the floor- walker. You talk to me all you like, young man."

Marion Crawford, the novelist, had his first experience with an American earthquake. It was in San Francisco, and the shock was one of' the greatest known on the slope for years. Mr. Crawford was lunching at the hotel with his lecture manager when sud- denly the building began to tremble with the sickening motion which is pe- culiar to earthquakes. Thep the ta- bles shook and dishes fell clattering to the floor. In an instant there was a panic. Men and women rushed from the room. Some religiously inclined guest began to pray, and several women fainted. The manager rose and staggered to- ward the door, but Mr. Crawford caught him and pulled him back into his chair. "What is it?" gasped the manager. "Nothing," answeted the novelist, reaching for another sliee of bread. "But the building is collapsing." "Nonsense. It's over now." "But what is it?"

What we iu New England call drop- ped eggs all the rest of the country call poached eggs, but 1 am going to stick to the name in spite of every- thing and call the method I am going to give you now "dropped eggs." Put one quart of boiling water, one teaspoonful of salt and one teaspoon- ful of vinegar in a frying pan. Place in the pan as many muffin rings as there are eggs to be dropped and set the pan where the water will just bub- ble at nue side. Break each egg care- fully and drop it into a ring. If an egg seems not exactly fresh, or if the yolk breaks, do not use it. Cook until the whites of the eggs are firmly set, then gently pour off the water, remove the rings and lift the eggs with a cake turner; place them on slices of butter- ed toast and serve at once. Putting them in Muffin rings makes it much easier to do them and bring them out whole.

Y i you conte to think of It. Old Cap bad the center of the stage when the cur- ' taro dropped, and his audience then CAP proceeded to forget him."—Chicago In- ter Ocean. He Lived a Wild Life and Wants Wild Death, and fie Summoned Wild Audience to See Elim Do Final Wild Act. "The longing for the center of stage exists not only In the ceuters civilization," said a than who had g west, made his pile in mining a come back- to enjoy himself. "Yo find it up in the Rockies among hardest, toughest citizens that e I,r handled a pick or shot a bear. T melodramatic Instinet Is mighty stro In most men, and the glare of the c slum is eagerly sought after by ma who won't admit it. 1 knew an man out in Arizona some years a who was one of this kind. He w about the most 'don't give a darn' cu I ever knew. He lived up in the mou tains, about ten miles back of Tucs all by himself. "How he managed to live 1 nev knew, but he seemed contented. H evil deeds never seemed to worry h any, and the Lord knows his reco was black enough. He had been great gun fighter in his time, and ev in the days I speak of it wouldn't do tread on his toes. He loved to tell his wild life, and the frankness wi which he related his somewhat qu tionable escapades made him an exce lent entertainer if you didn't happe to feel squeamish. Squeamishness is a common fault out that way, a everybody knew and liked Old Ca that's what they called him—exce the few who had been In trouble wi him at one time or another. "Now, no one ever thought that 0 Cap was spectacular. He was the la man on earth who would be thoug likely to want the center of the ata for any of his stunts. But he did, an the climax of his life was more pyr technical than any man's 1 ever g mixed up with. Ile certainly did g out in a blaze of glory. It all happe ed about seven years ago. 1 was Tucson. A lot of us boys were sittin around In front of a ginmill one afte noon, just talking about things in ge eral. Our horses were tied in the yar at the back. It was a mighty fine da just warm enough for solid comfo out of doors, and with the sky as Clea as absolute dryness could make it. I was one of these days, you know when you throw your chest out an congratulate yourself on being alive. "As I was saying, we all sat on eas wicker chairs, talking and whittling reckon, when down the street came 10 -year-old boy riding a broncho. 1V recognized him as a youngster wh lived a couple of miles this side of 01 Cap's on the same trail. He rode rigb up to where we were sitting and roiled off his horse, with his eyes a-poppin and his breath a-pauting. "'What's the matter, bub?' asked tall Texan, who was in the party. "'Old Cap says t' come right up t his place right off an fetch all tb' me yer kin git. Th' Injuns is comin!' "The Indians were always liable t bust loose and do something nobod suspected, so we got our horses out i a jiffy and started up the trail to sav Old Cap. There were about a dozen o us, and we had our Winchesters and six shooters with us. When we got nea to Old Cap's we slowed up a bit and began to look pretty sharp for Indians but not a sign of a redskin could we see. "'We'll be in time, boys,' said the Texan, who was leading the band. 'Ef we get to Old Cap's cabin we kin stand off a pretty smart lot.' "Old Cap's cabin was situated in a clearing off the trail around a bend with high rocks hiding it until you came out in the open. We reached the turn in safety and swept around It at full gallop. There we saw, first of all, the little cabin looking as snug as usual, and then we noticed Old Cap sitting astride a keg about ten feet in front of his door. His big, gray som- brero was cocked to one side, and the red scarf about his neck gave him the look of a stage hero of the plains. He had heard our horses' hoofs beating the rocky trail before we wheeled into view, and he was ready for us. Wait- ing until we had come within 75 yards of him, he lifted his hat and moved It above his head with a hoarse, wild yell. As I think of it now it sounded like the cry of a madman. Then he reached into bis pocket anti drew forth a match. This he drew carefully across a rock which was within reach of the keg upon which he sat, and saving ft from the breeze until It was safely lighted he opened his legs and dropped it between them. "There was a yellow puff of smoke tinged with a flash of red, and then a terrific roar. Old Cap's body flew sky- ward, and when it came down it didn't look like a human being's. He bad been sitting on a keg of powder and Pad deliberately blown himself up. Funny thing for a man to do, wasn't it? Old Cap apparently got tired of life and decided to kill himself. He wanted an audience. So he sent the kid out to drum one up. He got what he wanted, but It wasn't a very sympa- thetic one. gen don't go much on gush out there, and the Texan was a little sore about the trick we'd had played on us. He helped to straighten out the corpse, and then be sat down on a bowlder and gazed at it "'Well' he said finally, 'he certainly did give himself a good send off!' And the rest of the gang guffawed loud enough to start the echoes down the valley. "But it was all pretty 1nu *p wkis Former Btietaltty la War. Before a battle in former times the priests solemnly devoted to the gods the whole of the hostile army then in sight, -and, if possible, no man of it was left alive. A writer in The Nine- teenth Century says that when Her- mauu decoyed the great host of Varus into the forest depths all the Romans that escaped death lu the battle were captured and led into the dark recess- es, where every man of them was sac- rificed upon hastily erected altars. Latham, in his edition of Tacitus, quotes six contemporary authorities to show that this practice of concluding a victory with hutk4n sacris was customary among our Teutbnlc ances- tors. Some crucified their prisoners, others hung them up to trees for arch- ery practice, but in general a captive was either slain on the spot or else re- served to be sacrificed to the gods. Even when the progress of agriculture induced them to keep a majority of the prisoners alive to be slaves they appeased the gods for this indignity by increasing the tortures inflicted on the small remainder. Gibbon describes how, before the blazing altar, every hundredth man's arms were hacked off him and, before his eyes, thrown into the flames. All that a red Indian would have done last century was freely practiced by our ancestors of 12 centuries ago. And the htghest ideal of a man then in - eluded, as a duty, dark cruelty and grewsome revenge against all his ene- mies. - Men's Feet. The man buying a pair of shoes found the right one perfectly comfort- able and easy, the left one rather snug. "It's usually so," said the salesman; "the Left foot is comtnonly a little big- ger than the right foot." "Why don't you make the left shoe a little bigger, then?" asked the custom- er. "Well," said the salesman, "the dif- ference is usually not great, and it might not be enough so that it would be noticed if trying on shoes. And then it is not so great but what the differ- ence in feeling of the two shoes disap- pears very soon. And then, too, in some cases the man's right foot is the larger, the man being right footed in this re- spect as men are sometimes left hand- ed, the reverse of the common habit in the use of their hands. If shoes were commonly made with the left a little bigger than the right, to fit the major- ity of eases, they'd be worse than ever when you hit a right footed man. So the shoes are made alike fu size, a man gets a pair that fit him comfortably to start with and they adapt themselves quickly to any slight differences in the feet."—New York Sun. How Care Kills. Wise people have long been aware that "care killed a cat," but it has been left to the X rays to explain how and why. Dr. Fritz Lange of Munich has turned his fluorescent screen upon the stomach of a happy and contented cat and has seen the process of digestion going on as it should in all well regu- lated stomachs. Then he has introduced care and irritation into the feline mind by placing a live mouse just beyond reach and has seen digestion stopped thereby. The Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals may cry out on be- half of the eat, or the mouse, or both, but the lesson against worrying is as complete as any Christian Scientist could desire. Worrying stops digestion, causes dyspepsia, retards all the nor- mal physical processes and demoralizes both body and mind. It wastes the forces of life, destroying the tissues without accomplishing anything.—Chi- cago Tribune. Titania McOnlre's Whisky. Meagher was full of anecdotes of his famous brigade. One story is too good to be lost. He said he was leading his men to the front In one of the seven days' battles when an aid rode by and announced the news that our army had carried a certain strategic point and several colors. "D'ye hear that, boys?" shouted Meagher. "Our men have won the day anti captured the enemy's col- ors!" "Just as I said that," remarked the general, "a private who was plung- ing along out of one muddy hole into another, looked up at me and said, "Ah, gtnral, I'd rather hev a pint of Dinnis McGuire's whisky now than all the col- ors of the rainbow."—Donahue's Maga- zine. Wouldn't Wear the Crown. The late William Morris' views on the laureateship, as made public in Mr. Mackall's biography, were peculiar and interesting. Mr. Gladstone was willing to offer Morris the succession to Tennyson; but, on being sounded, the socialist poet, although pleased with the honor, declined unreservedly, stating that. In his opinion, the function of poet laureate was that of a cere- monial writer of verse, and that the Marquis of Lorne, the languidly liter- ary son-in-law of Queen Victoria, was the finest person to fulfill it. A subtle Plea. While Sir M. E. Grant -Duff was gov- ernor general of Madras a judge im- posed a fine on a native Christian. The latter had no lawyer to defend him, but be pnt in the following remarkable plea "Your honor may be right, I may be wrong; 1 may be right, honor wrong. Let honor give me back the fine, and then at day of resurrection, when all Leslie will be open, if 1 am wrong 1 will most gladly, sir, return your honor the money.

"People who handle the yardstick have but little idea of the years of study and experiments that were nec- essary to secure the standard yard measure," observed an official of the coast survey. "Bird, a famous scientist, made the first standard yard in 1760, but the English government did not legalize it until 1824. Ten years afterward. when the house of parliament in Lon- don was destroyed by fire, the stand- ard yard was lost, and England was again without a standard yard of length. Sheepshanks next made a standard measure, which the English government adopted, and, so that it could not be again destroyed by fire, four authorized copies were made of it. One of these was deposited in the royal mint, another in the Royal society„ another in the observatory at Greenwich, and the fourth was im- bedded in the walls of the new house of parliament. "The standard yard measures which are owned by the government are cop- ies of the original, one of which is owned by the coast survey. The Unit- ed States naval observatory has one also. The delicacy of its construction may be gathered b y the fact that a change of temperature of one-hun- dredth of a degree of Fahrenheit has been found to produce a sensible effect on the length of the bar. "The copies of the standard are made of bronze, for the reason that bronze is less affected by temperature han any distinct or single metal. "The cost of the construction of the original standard yard measure in- volved\the labors of Bird and bis as- sistants for nearly six years. Sheeps- banks was 11 years in producing the accurate copies which he made from Bird's original measurements."—Wash- ington Star. WHAT MAKES SUCCESS. It's the Man, Not the Job—There Are Possibilities In Everything. "We are forever going to begin work in earnest tomorrow," said Mr. Stay - bolt, "and we are never satisfied with the job we've got, and we perform the labor involved in it in only a half heart- ed manner, but we are going to work in dead earnest when we get a job to suit us. "The fact is that tomorrow, when we get to it, will be to us as today is to us now; we shan't feel any more like work. And that other job, when we come in actual contact with it and see it close at hand, won't suit us any bet- ter than the one we've got now does. "The truth is that we are dawdlers and shy of work and trying to get along just as easy as we can. We hate to pitch in and go at things. "The time for us to work is now, not tomorrow, and the job for us to collar is the one we've got. Round that up in style, do the work completely and thor- oughly, and you'll be astonished to find how you'll bring it out and what chances there are In it. And every- body that knows about your work or Is in any way concerned or affected by it, as it is done well or i11, will be de- lighted to see it well done --everybody likes to see a job, whatever it is, well done—and pleased with the doer, and there's money in it every time. "It isn't the job that makes success; it's the man, and don't you forget it."— New York Sun. An Exciting Adventure. I had an exciting adventure while 1 was engaged in superintending the laying down of water pipes In Queens- land. After work was done for the day I went up the surveyed course for the pipes to see that it had been clear- ed for the digging of trenches next day. The pipes, huge iron tubes two feet in diameter, lay scattered about. I was alone, but suddenly I heard a tremendous roar, and looking up saw a great herd of cattle stampeding down upon me. Before I could get out of their way they would be upon me, so I crawled into one of the pipes. On came the thunder of thousands of hoofs, and then a mass of roaring, maddened cattle swept past my place of refuge. Scores of them stumbled over the pipe in which I lay, and those which fell were trampled to death. When the herd had passed I crept out and found seven dead cattle about the pipe.—Stray Stories. Texas' Old Name. Probably the fact is not generally known that Texas was at one time and for many years called the "New PhIlippines." The first settlement in what is now Texas was made by French emigrants in 1685. During the next 25 years there was an intermit- tent struggle between the French and Spanish for supremacy, resulting in favor of the latter, and in 1814 the name of the New Philippines was given to the country. This was its offi- cial name in Spanish records for many ears and until the name of Texas, from a tribe of Indiana, gradually came in vogue.—Indianapolis Journal. A Household Hint. Don't throw away the trimmings from your new tablecloths. Those long linen threads you will need when your tablecloth begins to break a little. With them you can prolong its span of life many days. Also try in ironing your tablecloths to have them folded in different ways to vary the creases so that the wear will not come always In the same place. A LOVER'S FAREWELL Goodby forever, my darling, Dear to me even now, Though I give you back your promise And release you from your vow, I have learned that the love 1 sought for Had been given away before, And I know that love in your nature Is "love rorever more." Yet 1 wish you had not answered In words so tender and fair, For 1 could have borne it better, Though it had been hard to bear. if you bad but told me truly That your heart was given for aye, I should not have known the sorrow That crushes my heart today. Yet, why should I weakly blame you For the thoughts in my bosom hid( 'Tway my own fond heart that led me To love you as I did. And now 1 must hide my sorrow, As l hid my hope before, And put it away in silence— To be spoken of no more. For since 1 know 1 possess not The love that had been such prize, Shall 1 wait till my idut crumbles To ashes before my eyes? No! Rather farewell forever, And long may the lovelight shine On the fairer part you have chosen— It will beam no more on mine. Better it death had robbed me, For then 1 could love you still. Your memory would have nerved me To work with a stronger will. Now is my dream but a sorrow, And my heart hath a sense of shame, Remembering the empty promise And the love that was only a name— Remembering the flowers of joy That brought a fruition n of pain, And the bliss that 1 held for an hour I held It and lost 1t again. I embarked my soul's best treasure To drift on a boundless sea; I have gathered life's fairest blossoms— There will come no fruit to me, E. E. FISHER. A SOLEMN OCCASION. The Only Interview Buchanan Had With His vice President. Vice President Stevenson used to tell a story which John C. Breckenridge had told him to illustrate the tradition al relations between the president and the man whose principle business it is to watt for the possible death of the president, in order that he may take the president's chair. Breckinridge said that Buchanan never consulted him about any impor- tant matter, although as a Kentuckian, havin; the confidence of most of the southern leaders, he felt that his ad vice might at times have been valuable to the president. In the early fall of 1860, when Buchanan's term was near- ing an end, amid the gathering clouds of war, Vice President Breckinridge received an urgent summons to the White House. He responded at once, thinking that at last the president wanted his advice on the momentous questions then -pending. When he ar- rived he was shown into the presi- dent's room, and Mr. Buchanan, who was alone, called his private secretary and instructed him to see that they were not disturbed by anybody during the important conference which was to follow. When the private secretary had with- drawn, the president unlocked the pri- vate drawer In his desk, took out a manuscript, sat down with great so- lemnity, and said to Vice President Breckinridge, in his most impressive manner, " I want to read you the draft of my Thanksgiving day proclamation and to get your opinion of it." The vice president controlled his fa- cial muscles, listened respectfully and seriously made some complimentary remarks about the important docu- ment, and, with his customary cour- tesy, bowed and smiled his way out from the only interview to which he was ever invited by President Buchanan.— Boston Herald. He Worked the Grocer. A true story of a dog found guilty of obtaining goods under false pre- tenses has been recently told. The animal is very fond of crackers, and has been taught by his owner to go after them himself, carrying a written order in his mouth. Day after day he appeared at the grocer's, bringing his master's orders for crackers until the clerks became careless about reading the document. One day the man came in and complained that he had been charged for much more crackers than he had ordered. There was quite a dispute over it, and the next time the dog came In the grocer took the trouble to look at the paper. It was blank; and further investigation showed that whenever the dog felt a craving for clackers he hunted up a piece of paper and trotted off to the grocery store.— Atlanta Constitution. Begging Letters For the Rich. A lady living less than a 'day's jour- ney from New York had the curiosity the other day to make certain calcula- tions in order to see how large a part of her property she would have had to sacrifice had she granted all the re- quests made for money within a period of 42 days. She kept all the begging letters received during that time, add- ed together the amounts they asked for and then discovered that had she grunted each individual request for money she would have disbursed $1,- S00,000. And this, be it remembered, In a short period of six weeks.—Har- per's Bazar. Our Big Qua..

Calumet Baking MODERATE" IN PRICE NOT MADE BY THE TRUST. owder The Clever Spider. "One of my friends was accustomed to grant shelter to a number of garden spiders under a vacant veranda and to watch- their habits. One day a sharp storm broke out, and the wind raged so furiously through the garden that the spiders suffered damage from it, al- though sheltered by the veranda. The mainyards of one of these webs, as the sailors would call them, were broken so that the web was blown hither and thither, like a slack sail in a storm. "The spider made no fresh threads, but tried to help itself in another way. It let itself down to the ground by a thread and crawled to a place where lay some splintered pieces of a wooden fence, thrown down by the storm. It fastened a thread to one of the bits of wood, turned back with it and hung it with a strong thread to the lower part of its nest, about five feet from the ground. The performance was a won- derful one, for the weight of the wood sufficed to keep the nest tolerably firm, while it was yet light enough to yield to the wind and so prevent further ip- Jury. The piece of wood was about 2 inches long and as thick as a goose quill. "On the following day a careless servant knocked her head against the wood, and it fell down. But in the course of a few hours the spider mend- ed her web, broke the supporting thread In two and let the wood fall to the ground."—Our Animal Friends. Dublin Bootblacks, 1780. Among the populace of Dublin in 1780, says the Uuiversity Magazine, the shoeblacks were a numerous and for- midable body. The polish they used was lampblack and eggs, for which they purchased all that were rotten in the markets. Their implements con- sisted of a three legged stool, a basket containing a blunt knife, called a spudd, a painter's brush and an old wig. A.geutiely-'n 'taually welatest in -- the morning with dirty boots or shoes, sure to find a shoeblack sitting on his stool at the cornier of the street. The gentleman put his foot in the lap of the shoeblack without ceremony, and the artist scraped it with his spudd, wiped it with his wig and then laid on his composition as thick as black paint with his painter's brush. The stuff dried with a rich polish, re- quiring no friction and little inferior to the elaborated modern fluids, save only the intolerable odors exhaled from eggs in a high state of putridity and which filled any house which was en- tered before the composition was quite dry and sometimes even tat ted the air of fashionable drawing rooms Polish- ing shoes, we should mention, was at this time a refinement almost confined to cities, people in the country being generally satisfied with grease. The Cause. "Have you a last request to make?" asked the king of the Cannibal islands, addressing the missionary. The latter glanced at his august maj- esty (so called by reason of his sum- mer attire), and replied:: "Yes, Great One. When I left -my na- tive heath, I promised to write to a brother in this line of work and tell him how I liked the country. If your majetty pleases, I should like to write him a few words." The king reflected for a moment. "There can be no objection to that, so far as I can see. You may proceed." The missionary's hands were untied, and there upon a piece of bark he in- scribed the following words: Dear Friend—This is a delightful country. There is but one objection to it, and that, I fear, will account for the fact that I shall never see you again. There is plenty to eat here—but the cook- ing will kill me. Farewell. This being finished, the king directed his slaves to stir the caldron and the preparation of the meal proceeded. A Tale From the Mysterious East. The last wonderful tale being told among the Burmese in Rangoon is con- cerning a monster egg. A few months ago near Shwebo the villagers heard a strange and mysterious voice in the jungle uttering in Burmese the words, "I am going to lay," which were re- peated frequently several times a day for many days. Eventually the egg was laid, and its size is said to exceed that of ten large paddy baskets. Nobody will go near this egg, from which now come the words, "I am going to hatch," also repeated many times every day.— Times of Burmah. The National Capitol.

"The school over which Mr. Twichell presides, and which he has governed with so much ability, had a picnic on last Friday. It was a happy time for the little ones, and the good order which they maintained carried the conviction that they were not neglected• either at home or in tjte school room. it does the heart good to see the smiling faces and hear the glad voices of fifty or a hundred innocent children. They formed a procession at the school room, and after marching through the principal streets, occasionally stopping and contributing a sung of wel- come or gladness, which were executed with considerable skill, marched' into a grove in the southern part of the city, where we are informed they had a sump- tuous dinner on tate sward, Children, like men, will award some token of respect to to their best and most loved competitor, and in conformity with this idea Miss Patch was crowned queen of the occasion. The weather proving inclement, their stay in the grove was brief; but they were not thus to be dis- appointed, and so returned to the school- room where the Rev. Mr. Hyde addressed them in a few brief and appropriate re- marks. For the children this was a glorious occasion and all came away highly delighted." -The harvest weather has been ex- cellent. The wheat is all cut and now the farmers are busily engaged in their grass, some fields of which are remark- ably fine. * * * * * * * * * A few years more and Minnesota will crowd the railroads and mighty rivers with the staff of life on its way to the densely populated manufacturing regions of the world.

Prof. Billings of New York gave a pupils' concert to close his singing school i■ Prescott on August 14th, 1857.— "The Georgian Slave" and "Wait for young America" sung by John Newton were good songs and well sung.

Coomer in Youth's Compar on. kIiEl italt1tkpif+lIQ em ALUMP OF COAL, Ile 'What Happened to an Engineer os the Eve of a Crime. 1K: ekihekwwnnis4111 In The cattleboat Goshawk's midday sights had shown her to be in latitude 12 degrees 34 minutes south by 36 de- grees 42 minutes west longitude, which meant that she was coming up to that dangerous collection of reefs and rocks known as the Abrolhos shoals. The chart which covered them was from a French survey in 1861, and as any amount of unrecorded changes might have been wrought since then by that minute mason of the deep, the coral insect, Captain . Grimshaw was very much on the qui vive so long as his ship" was in the neighborhood. For, being a wise master mariner, he de- pended but little on either the chart or . the Abrolhos light itself. But if the captain did not fancy this particular patch of the sea for reasons relating to navigation; the third engi- neer did for purposes of his own. In short, he hoped' to earn the ship's in- surance money and a equple of hun- dred pounds for himself somewhere in Vies N9cinity. It was an excellent local- ity for a plausible story about the Gos- b8vk running on some uncharted shoal and sinking as she backed into deep water. So when he was relieved of his half watch at 6 o'clock by the chief engineer he went straight to the engine room mess table for his tea, carefully forgetting his blue jacket where it hung on a rail on -the forward side of the engine room bulkhead. Having partaken hastily and spar- ingly of the bad tea and potato hash supplied, he turned into his own room, locked the door and arranged a pair of trousers to hang so that one of the legs might cover the keyhole. Then he knelt, though not exactly in prayer, be- side his sea chest,and proceeded to un- pack it, till at length he reached a small wooden box with a sliding top. At first sight it did not appear why his hand should tremble a little as he pull- ed the lid aside and drew from Its well t wadded cradle a very commonplace lump of coal. ft was -exactly like any other piece of . coal, about the size of a large fist—say the mate's—and it had all the jetty sparkle -and shine of the newly broken article. The only difference between it and the other lumps in the bunkers was that £40,000 worth and a few men's lives lay in its nascent possibili- ties. On closer inspection, it re- vealed one little peculiarity, a little square projection such as any lady or gentleman who does not use a stem winder may see in his watch any night of the week. Tom Tudor's own watch - key, which he now tried upon it to see it - everything was in proper working rder, fitted it exactly as a matter of fact. "Another hour, and it will be pretty nearly dark. That will be my time," he thought to himself with anything but a fiendish chuckle. As yet he was consid- erably removed from the villain teres atque rotunclus ef a sanguinary fiction. Of a truth he was conscious at the mo- ment of a envious sickness, a tickling in his stomach which not even the re- cent potato stew could account for. No, it was the thought of the coming ap- palling moment of flame and death— and the captain's daughter. "Curse the captain's daughter! When be had entered into tlt)is nefarious con- tract with certain un liable people at home, he had not counted on this die- turbing element. That he, hard heart- ed and hard headed scoundrel as he was, should feel' this immense tender- ness for a pretty ailing girl, away with her father for a voyage on account of her health, was an aberration beyond all calculation. Was it love? It wor- ried and pricked him, and itawakened old 'unwelcome chords in the atrophied sense of fitness which had been his conscience. Yea, it was love, and— bless Alice, the captain's daughter! "If she hadn't been so hard on me last night, I could never have done it," van his thoughts, waking a fierce ten- derness in his sallow, handsome face. "A touch of her hand, and the Gos- hawk would have stemmed the , Thames river again. Suppose the ship sank in a couple of minutes, before they had time to lower the boats! There are sharks about. I don't mind , sendingold an o d fireman or a trimmer to hotter furnaces. But the flop of the brutes round her sweet body! It's hor- rible. By heavens, I can't do it, after all!" He bent his forehead against the raised lid of his trunk. "But. I'm. talk- ing bethel rot. The cursed thing is cal- culated to give the ship half an hour. There'll be lots of time fo* everybody to get clear except the poor fellows Who get blown to atoms from the stokehole. Then the weather's quiet, and we're right in the track of ships— certain to be picked up within 48 Bourn" He dandled the black mass on his fingers. "Five turns teethe key, and then five minutes before the explosion, every turn a Winkel If I push the job through, I'll never tackle another. God of Heaven, I wish we were all sae in the boats!" He • replaced the grim handful of doom in its cradle again, replaced it in Its box and went up to the windy deck. The heat below laid a nory nand o throat and brain. A slice of young moon, with a fe tendant stars, slowly climbed tato minance against the last ardors of sunset as he leaned moodily agai the deckhouse. How the miserly hour caught u golden coin of minutes and fled! "Time -time, time -time, time -ti sang the watch bell monstrously s "It's got to be done!" he muttered tween . his locked teeth as he step unsteadily out of the moonlight al the engine room passage, once unpacked the fatal lump, turned key five times and with a flying h descended the steel ladder to the gine room, the bomb ticking in loose breast of his shirt as he wen "Hullo, Tudor! Forgot your jack sang out the chief as he stooped o the rails and tried the heat of his Ings. "Aye!" replied the third engineer he passed. In the fierce tunnel of light from of the open furnaces the nude stok and a trimmer piling forward the c to them from behind seemed gnomes of some eastern legend. P devils! A chatter like the sound o sewing machine from the thing in breast seemed to chant their requie He slipped the black abortion be an end of one of the boilers, caught his jacket and ran on deck. Under shadow of one of the after lifeboats stood, sick with terrible expectan awaiting the end with his watch his hand. Two minutes gone! Th Then a little figure in white ca forward out of the darkness of poopdeck. It was the captain's dau ter. "Is that you, Mr. Tudor?" she said "Yes," he replied hoarsely. Th minutes and a half gone. "I want to tell you how sorry 1 a Por being harsh with you last nig —I didn't mean it." "Alice, Alice! Quick, for God mighty's sake! Can you love me eve little? Quick, quick!" "What's all this hurry about, M udor? Put your watch in your poe et. What a question!" But in h face he saw something sweeter he silver moonlight which revealed our minutes and a half! With a bound he was 7n the passe gain, slipped noiselessly past t hief, who did not see him, his eing turned, caught up the accurs hing under his jacket and like a ties re up the deck again. With all his strength he threw t ump of Coal far into the dimplin ea and sank on the deck, the perspire on running from every pore. Then, with a terrific rattling thun- er, an immense flower of fire arose ut of the deep, a great, sudden billow etched at the ship, heaved her aloft ke a cork and raced whitely away to the' moonlit distances. Then all as still save for the fretting and fum- g of the sea as it slowly settled gain. The whole ship's company came peer - g on deck in a dazed state of alarm• he captain sprang on the bridge be - de the mate and shouted some orders heeded. But nobody except the girl in white Beed the broken man lying prone in e shadow of the deckhouse. Like a sudden hideous revelation the planation came to her. His wild es, his sudden question, the watch his hand, his mad, headlong race low—all was clear now. Unnoticed in the general panic, she ssed the deck to him. He was lying ce down on the cold iron plates of e deck. She touched him on the houlder, and he looked up with a hite face. 'I know it all, Tom," she said Iwo - Lily. "May God help us both." 'God help us! You may help me, ice—help me from hell! Your love uld save me yet perhaps." 'I loved you all along. But after s"— She sobbed. Presently she spoke again. 'Now, get up and go below. This st never be suspected even by my her. It will be safe with me. I ll love you enough for that" He kiss - the skirt of her dress and pressed. ✓ hand, like a benediction on his cad. When Captain Grimshaw reported phenomenal seismic disturbance he d encountered in the neighborhood the Abrolhos reef, it created a con- erable sensation ill the scientific rld. And from the records of the reg in a certain church within ring of Bow Bells, there is the best reason for supposing that Alice. mshaw's love persisted and was al - ed the best opportunities for say - ,the soul of the third engineer, ndon Star. n his KITES AT ALL PRICES. 1TREATMENTOFSUNSTROKE. W at- Rade In Many Varieties and For Nu- merous Purposes, the Scientific kites of one kind and an- nat• other, such as in the past few years have engaged public attention, are now p its articles of large sale. There is one wholesale dealer in toys and kites, says me!" the New York Sun, who issues a 16 oon. page catalogue devoted solely to kites be- and kite requisites and appliauces. Sci- ped entitle kites are sold not only all over ong this country and in Canada, but in more Australia, South Africa, England, Scot - the land and the various countries of con- eart t[nental Europe, An order for 3,000 en- box kites was received in oue week by the cable from Paris. There are a number t. of patents on these scientific kites, et?" t which are patented also to foreign ver countries. bear- A box kite such as was sold two years ago for $1 and last year for 50 as cents Is sold this season for '- cents. There are, however, various - es and one styles of box kites selling to $4 ere each. All the box kites either roll up Dal or fold up into a small compass when like not fixed for flying. There is one called Dor the umbrella box kite. which can be f a opened ready for flying just as an um - his brella is opened ready for use. There m- to no sold a ship kite, which is rigged low tike a loop, with jib, mainsail and club up topsail, The box kites have no tails. the The ship kite, as ft rises and floats iu he the air, is balanced by an anchor sus- pended from the hull, which moves in along through the air with the kite. Thr Besides the box kites and the ship me kites there are other scientific kites the and airships, made in various sizes, fill'' that are sold at from $1 to $10 each. Box kites are often joined together • and flown in groups of two, three, four ree or more, and these and other modern kites are flown in tandem also. Flying m in tandem the modern kites are used ht' for floating flags and banners and Al- lanterns. It is a familiar fact that cameras are now carried up by kites n for taking pictures from midair. There are cameras specially designed for r. this purpose. There are sold kite lines k. in various sizes and lengths suited to er the various sizes and styles of scien- than title kites, and there are also made it nowadays a number of hand reels and windlass kite reels upon which to he wind the kite lines. back These various kinds of styles of mod- ed od- eern scientific kites are flown not only by young people, but by adults as well, at lawn parties and at the seashore, for outdoor recreation and amusement. he g Guide For Typewriters.

It is well known that missionaries in China do a great deal in the way of al- leviating suffering among those who cannot obtain the services of a doctor. Quite recently a Chinaman lost his sight, and some sympathetic neighbors came and enlisted the services of the local missionary in his behalf. The missionary found his patient suffering from cataract and succeeded in remov- ing it and restoring sight to the China- man. The obliging neighbors then, however, represented to the missionary that he had robbed the man of the means a s o! earning his living (he was a "blind" beggar) and that in future he would be expected to take him into his service and keep him. Well doing is difficult in China.—Petit Marsellaise. Migsl4t Have Been Worse.

Loss of sleep, i worry, excitement, close sleeping rooms, debility, overeating and the use of liquor In any form predisposes to it. i It is more apt to attack those working yin the sun, and especially between the hours of 11 o'clock in the morning and I 4 o'clock in the afternoon. On hot days wear thin clothes. Have as cool sleeping rooms as possible. Avoid loss of sleep and all unnecessary fa- tigue. If working indoors and where there is artificial heat—laundries, etc.—see that the room is well venti- lated. If working in th'e sun, wear a light hat (not black, as it absorbs heat), straw, etc., and pthe head a wet cloth or n large green leaf; frequently lift the hat from the head and see that the cloth is wet. Do not cheek perspiration, but drink what wa- ter you need to keep it up, as perspira- tion prevents the bodyfrom being overheated. Have, whenever possible, an additional shade, as a thin umbrel- la, when walking, a canvas or board cover when working in the sun. When much fatigued, do not go to work, es- pecially after 11 o'clock in the morning on very hot days, it the work is in the sun. If a feeling of fatigue, dizziness, headache or exhaustion occurs, cease work immedately; lie down in a shady and cool place; apply cold cloths to and poor cold water over head and neck. Any one overcome by the heat ghoul be immediately removed to the nearest shade and the collar of shirt or dress should be loosened. Send im- mediately for the nearest physician and a policeman and give the person cool drinks of water, black tea or cof- fee, if able to swallow. If the skin is hot and dry, place the person in a sitting position against a tree, wall or anything that will be a support to the back. Sponge with or pour cold water over the body and limbs and apply to the head pounded ice wrapped in a towel or other cloth. If there is no ice at hand, keep a cold cloth on the head and pour cold water on it as well as on the body. If the person is pale, very faint and pulse feeble, lay hint on the back; let him inhale ammonia for a few minutes or give him a teaspoonful of aromatic- spirits of ammonia or tincture of ginger in tivo tablespoonfuls of water. Use no cold water upon the head or body, but rub the back, hands and feet and apply warm applications to the same until the circulation is restored. For the latter purpose use mustard—table- spoonful to quart of water. Hammer Full of Tacks. With the magazine hammer just brought out there is no longer reason for having tacks lying around loose.

This telephonic train dispatching has been done on a two mile stretch of ele- vated track in Chicago, over which 11,- 664 trains were moved, during much of the time on a single track, but with- out an accident. Whether to continue or to abandon the system, on the com- pletion of the other tracks, has not been decided. The officials pronounce it a success, however, and as capable of application over 100 miles as over two. All of the trains moved were sub- ject to the verbal orders of the tele- phone dispatcher from his office in an elevated blockhouse, and the quickness and cheapness of the service are the subject of comment among railroad managers. There is no time lost in sending and copying• messages and no occasion to employ expert telegraphers. —New York Post. Blowing a Hole In a Fog. A piece of apparatus known as the Tugrin fog dispeller has recently been ilevised to assist in the navigation of vessels when there is an intense fog. It consists of a pipe 8 feet in length and 3 inches inside diameter, flaring at the mouth, located near the navigat- ing officer. By means of a blower .a strong stream of warm air Is sent through the pipe and acts to blow a hole through the fog. It is claimed that the moisture is condensed and falls in rain drops, so that the navi- gator is able to see through several hundred feet of the densest fog.—Pitts- burg Dispatch. New Use For Motor.

The head contains a shaft for a journal, around which a tack carrying belt is made to pass. There is a ratchet arrangement with a knob in the han- dle, convenient to the thumb. As one tack is driven home a movement of the thumb presents another at the opening at the rear of the head. One blow thrusts the point into the wood and a second one drives it in. A patent for this idea has been awarded to J. P. Vanderveer. Quick Firing Rifle. The Austrian press has been giving prominence to the alleged invention of a remarkable quick firing rifle. This truly wonderful weapon will in the hands of a "trained soldier," emit no fewer than 2,700 bullets an hour, or 45 in one minute. Thus in an engage- ment which lasted several hours each soldier could loose off a cartload of ammunition, if he had it at his elbow, and an army of 50,000 men—a mere handful of men as continental armies go—would require 50,000 cartloads with the firing line in one serious en - agement. For a campaign of invasion each soldier would require to be fol- lowed by a magazine, and a shell ex- ploding in a company would produce as many devastating explosions as there were men. If, on the other hand, each soldier marched with, say, his own 200 rounds, he could fire them all off in leas than five minutes and be left withdut ammunition for the rest of the engagement.—San Francisco Post. Publie Cremator/sun. According,to The American Archi- tect, the city government of Boston is considering the question of establish- ing a public crematory much after the model of the one in Pere la Chaise, in Paris, where the bodies of persons who dle in public institutions, leaving no friends or relatives, are, as a rule, in- cinerated and where cremation can also be performed for other persons whose families desire it.

Something He Could Beat, but It Got the Best of Him. One evening last wiuter oue of Adel- bert's popular professors attended a social function where the guests play- ed progressive pedro, a game in which the worthy educator lays uo claim to being an expert. In fact, on the pres- ent occasion he was credited with but two progressions, a score of really as- tonishing smallness. Naturally, what is termed the "booby prize" fell to him, and this time it took the form of a double yolk egg, with the following sarcastic legend attached: "Something you can beat." The professor smilingly accepted the reward, and after It was passed around and joked upon he finally slipped It into the side pocket of his overcoat and then straightway forgot its exist- ence. When the party broke up, he accom- panied two young ladles to their home. When they reached the house and the latchkey was produced and used, it was found that the front door was locked so tightly that it refused to yield to ordinary pressure. So the professor put his hip against a panel and pushed hard. There was a dull crash, a mild yell, the professor leaped in the air and convulsively clutched at his side. The double yolk had exploded: A moment later the afflicted educator gingerly drew from his pocket a pair of exceedingly yellow gloves, followed by a muffler of the same gaudy tint. And the ladies leaned against the rail- ing and laughed until they cried. 0! course they promised not to tell, but in some unfathomed way the story —like the egg—leaked out.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. THAT FIRST 91N. Figures to Show That Adam and Eve Ate Eight Million A le Probably our great antes r, Adam, little thought of the trouble he would cause posterity by eating an apple. But now the question as to how many appleshe really did eat is a new diffi- culty. How many apples did Adam and Eve eat? Was it one or was it millions? When the subject was first mooted the editor very naturally replied. "Why, one, of course." "No," said the assistant editor, "Eve ate one, and Adam ate one, too; that's two." Then the subeditor passed along a slip of paper on which was written, "Eve 81 and Adam 81, making 162." But the poet, who is a man of imag- ination, capped this with, "Eve 81 and Adam -812-893." Then the publisher tried his hand, and his contribution was. "Eve 8,142 see how it tasted. and Adam 812, equals 8,954." The poet, who dislikes being sur- passed as much as he hates barbers, came up to the scratch again with "Eve 8,142 see how it tasted, and Ad- am 51,242 keep her company -89,384." Then the humorist, who had been listening, quietly handed in his con- tribution, "Eve 8,142 see how it tasted, and Adam 8,124,210 -der a husband was he to see her eat alone. This equals 8,132,352." "But he had another object," said the poet. "Eve 8,142 satisfy her curiosity, and Adam 8,124,240-fy Eve in her po- sition. That makes 8,132,382."—Phila- delphia Record. That Second Chapter. The new pastor was preaching his first sermon. In the middle of it he stopped abruptly and asked: "How many of you have read the Bible?" Fifty hands went up. "Good," said the pastor. "Now, how many of you have read the second chapter of Jude?" Twenty-five hands went up. A wan smile overspread the divine's Lace. "That's also good; but when you go home read that chapter again, and you will doubtless learn something to your interest." There is only one chapter in the book of Jude.—Guthrie (0. T.) Leader.

Whereupon every one listened for the reply. In her delicately cultivated voice Mrs. Howe responded, "I think it is a bully piaz."—San Francisco Argonaut. Cured the Dryness.

The superiority of Japanese drawing can probably be traced to the custom of that land to make the children practice painting and drawing without the use of any stick or supporting device for the hand. They are taught to draw at the same time they are taught to write the letters of the alphabet, and they are taught to use both hands equally in the task. The natural preference given to the right arm has been explained physiolog- ically by the construction of the veins and nerves that enter the arms, those of the right arm being more prominent The reverse is the case in the few who are naturally left handed. She Ought to Mance Htni Confess. During the first three months of ev- sty engagement the girl makes a con- fessional of the man. Later she wishes she hadn't confessed so much.-Atchi- 4..- THE HELPFUL WOMAN SHE WAS TOO ANXIOUS TO ASSIST HER FELLOW MORTALS. Her Excessive Zeal la Looking After the Welfare of a Blind Man on a Train Got Her into Trouble With the Blustering Mau. I knew a good woman once -God never made a better -who on her jour- ney through life was always trying to be helpful; always looking out to lend e hand to her fellow wayfarers and to make the rough paths smoother and easier for them. She was never so happy as when shewas making some sacrifice or serving some other person, sharing her strength with the weak or her plenty with the poor, and some - dines she overdid It. For the purpose of identification 1 will call her Mrs. Jones. While traveling between Utica and Albany one day, a blind man was led into the car and placed in the seat be- hind her. Here was a chance for a good Samaritan, and she seized It be- fore anybody else got ahead of her. She saw that he was comfortably seated; she opened her lunch basket and of- fered him something to eat; she looked at his ticket to see that It was right and did everything else she could think of to show her interest in a fellow be- ing so afflicted. The blind man was going to Little Falls, and every time the train stopped he would inquire in an anxious way if he had reached his destination, and whenever he heard somebody passing through the aisle he would ask •how far it was to Little Falls. Mrs. Jones was alert and answered 'every question and assured him that she would see to his perfect safety. She urged him to be comfortable and contented and promised to let him know when his journey was ended. When the train slowed up and a brakeman yelled, "LIttle Falls!" she pushed aside several officious persons who offered to assist her and, taking the blind man by the hand, led him out to the platform and delivered him to some friends who had come to the sta- tion to meet 11103. After she had bidden him goodby and returned to the car she noticed in the seat he had occupied a well worn satchel, She seized it in- stantly, rushed to the door and threw It off .toward her blind friend on the platform with as much force as she could exert, screaming at the top of her voice: "You forgot your atcttel." Then she returned and took her seat in the ear with the consciousness of having performed a Christian duty. Pretty soon a rather rough looking person, who had neglected to shave that morning and chewed tobacco, came back from the smoking car and began to look around curiously and in - an anxious way. Noticing that Mrs. Jones was watching him, he looked at her inquiringly and then said: "Madam, have you seen a satchel that was left in that seat?" "Yes," she replied promptly. "It be- longed to a blind man, and I threw it out to him at Little Falls." "The blank you did!" exclaiined the unshaven citizen, whereupon Mrs. Jones, perceiving that her friendly in- terest in the blind man had possibly caused some inconvenience to one who had two large, blazing eyes and was addicted to the tobacco habit, began to apologize. The stranger listened with an expression on his face as if he re- gretted that murder was out of style, and when Mrs. Jones had completed her somewhat incoherent explanation he remarked: "Madam, permit me, to advise you hereafter to mind your own blank business, and let blind men and other folks' gripsacka alone. I am going to Utica to attend court today, and that satchel contained all the documentary evidence in a case that involves many thousands of dollars. I have got it continued twice on various pretexts, but if I go into court today and tell the judge that I can't go on because a lunatic has thrown my grip at a blind man, he'll give me the laugh and my clients will be robbed. And you are to blame for it." Mrs. -Jones protested, apologized and shed tears, and when the conductor came back and sent a telegram to the station agent at Little Falls to find the bag and send it to Utica by the next train she took out her pocketbook and offered to pay all the expenses. She even offered to leave the train and go back to Little Falls herself and bring the bag to Utica. She was eager, anx- ious to do something to repair the damage and aid the lawyer in saving his case. He settled down in his seat, chewed his tobacco calmly and let her do all the fidgeting. When she reached home and told the story to her daughter, she solemnly promised that she would never try to help a blind man again. -Chicago Rec- ord. Reverent, Though Drunk. The large majority of Russians of the orthodox faith will not pass a church or shrine in the street without uncovering their heads and crossing themselves. Travelers have seen in- toxicated men who were staggering along observe this ceremony, and in the case of those who were too help- lessly fuddled to walk home the friend or relative who has accompanied a tipsy companion in a sledge or drosky has, while holding him in the vehicle with one hand, performed for him the sign of the cross with the other when passing a sacred place.

The following paragraph on "The Use of Short Words" is attributed to Horatio Seymour. It practices what it preached therein, since there is no word in it with more than two sylla- bles, save such as are quoted for pur- poses of illustration: "We must not only think in words, but we must also try to use the best words and those which in speech will put what is in our minds into the minds of others. This Is the great art which those must gain who wish to teach in the school, the church, at the bar or through the press. To do this In the right way they should use the short words which we learn in early life and which have the same sense to all classes of men. The English of our Bible is good. Now and then some long words are found, and they always hurt the verses in which you find them. Take that which says, '0 ye generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? There is one long word which ought not to be in it - namely, 'generation.' In the old ver- sion the old word 'brood' is used. Read the verse with the term, and you will feel its full force: 'O ye viper's brood, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?' Crime sometimes does not look like crime when it is set before us in the many folds of a long word. When a man steals and we call it a 'defalcation,' we are at a loss to know if it is a plunder or a crime. If he does not tell the truth, and we are told that it Is a case of 'prevarication,' it takes us some time to know just what we should think of it. No man will ever cheat himself into wrongdo- ing, nor will be be at a loss to judge of others if he thinks and speaks of acts in clear, crisp terms. It is a good rule, if one is at a loss to know if an act is right or wrong, to write it down in short, straightout English." A FEAT IN GLASS BLOWING. The Trick Which a Russian Sprung on the Expert.. Emperor Nicholas wished to illumi- nate theAlexander column in a grand style.

The commission must be executed, Haat was self evident, but how? A great premium was offered to the one who could solve the problem. Again the human bellows toiled and puffed. Their object seemed unattainable, when at last a long bearded Russian stepped forward and declared that he could do it; he had strong lungs; he would only rinse his mouth first with a little water to refresh them. Ile applied his mouth to the pipe and puffed to such purpose that the vitre- ous ball swelled and puffed nearly to the required dimensions, up to them, beyond them. "Bold! Hold! cried the lookers on. "You are doing too much. And how did you do It all'!" "The matter is simple enough," an- swered the long beard, "but first, where is my premium?" And when he clutched the promised bounty he explained. He had retained some of the water in his mouth, which had passed thence into the glowing ball and then, becom- ing steam, had rendered him this good service. -Chicago Inter Ocean. Sothern and Laura Keene. • While in New York and before he had made any hit, the elder Sothern had a dispute with Laura Keene con- cerning some trivial affair at a re- hearsal, and Miss Keene went into one of her tantrums. After the quarrel on the stage she retired to her dressing room and, still angry, sent for Sothern and began to rate him fiercely. "Stop, Laura -stop just a minute!" Interrupted the comedian and advanc- ing to the light deliberately twined it down. "What do you mean by that, sir?" she demanded in a rage. "Oh, nothing," replied. Sothern, "but you have always been so lovely to me that I can't bear to look upon your beautiful face when you are in a pas- sion. Now, go on." -San Francisco Argonaut. Paid 15 Cents to Hug His Wife. The maddest man in Platte county lives at Humphreys. Ile attended a social, and during the evening the ladies inaugurated a hugging bee, the proceeds to go to the Sunday school. Prices were graded according to the person hugged. For instance, for hug- ging a young, inexperienced girl the bidder had to give up ten cents, mar- ried women brought 15 cents and widows a quarter. Nell, the man was blindfolded and, giving up 15 cents, he said he would take a married woman. After he had hugged 13 cents' worth the bandage was removed from his eyes,and, lo and behold,he had been hugging his own wife! Then he kicked and wanted bis 15 cents back. -Colum- bus (Neb.) Times.

Beasts Con1YaeA in Cages Fight For the Sake of Fighting. Fights lu sheer devilment sometimes take place between animals in confine- ment. A short, sharp battle took place in Edmonds' menagerie between a lion and a tiger 40 years ago. The lion was the same whic had escaped from Jamrach's yard 1n hat was then Rat- cliff Highway bitten a boy. Mr. Edmonds bought it, and is said to have billed it as "the tiger that swallowed the child." Of course, the beast was a great draw, but after a few days In its new quarters the tiger managed to draw forward the sliding shutter and squeeze itself into the adjoining den, where a lion was confined. The lion resented the intrusion, but was im- mediately seized by the throat, and, though there were tremendous strug- gles, the fight was practically over as soon as it commenced. The tiger never loosed its hold, and in a few minutes the lion was dead. Abdut 20 years later a fatal fight took place in the lion house of the Zoo- logical gardens,Regent's park, between a tiger and a tigress. The latter was illtempered, and, in sparring with her mate, drove her claw through his nos- tril, and so began the fray. The tiger threw her down, and struck her several times with his paw, but without doing serious damage, and then turned away as it to discontinue the fight. This the tigress would not suffer, for she sprang at his flank and fixed her teeth in his thigh. This was more than he could stand. One wild bound freed him; in a moment she was knocked over, and he gripped her by the neck, in which his huge canine teeth made fearful wounds. Sutton, the keeper, now managed to drive him off, and he used to say that when the tiger loosed his hold the blood spouted from his vic- tim's neck and splashed on the roof of the lofty den.-Cassell's Magazine. LOADED WITH HARD LUCK. Several Bitter Experiences of a Youthful Runaway. Young John Kathner,. an inexperi- enced hobbledehoy thirsting for adven- ture, ran away from home the other day with 100 marks in his pocket. De- termined to see the world he booked for Berlin, intending to surprise a spinster aunt residing there, with whom, however, he was not personally acquainted. On reaching his destina- tion he strolled about the city making inquiries for Aunt Kathner's place of abode. A woman accosted him: "What, you are from Abbau! What is your name?" On hearing it, she exclaimed: "Him- mel! Why, then, I am your aunt; come home with me." Young Greenhorn did her bidding, they supped together, and he was sent to bed. On awakening next morning he dis- covered that his clothes and his money were gone, and so, too, was auntie. In his despair he rushed to the window in his nightshirt, crying out his misfor- tune to the passersby. A woman with an infant in her arms responded to his appeal. "I will go and find your auntie," said she, "and leave baby with you meanwhile." Hours passed, with baby howling for sustenance. At length a constable came to Johann's rescue with a suit of clothes, and bundled him and "his infant" off to the police station, where the inspec- tor wired to the young man's father. "Your son Johann is here with his in- fant. You can take them in charge on payment of the expenses incurred." - Berlin Correspondence. No Ghosts Could Fool Hint. A naval officer who held a civil em- ployment at Rhode Island during the American war of independence and who was of a remarkably spare, skele- tonlike figure was stopped by a sen- tinel late one night on bis return from a visit and shut up in the sentry box, the soldier declaring that he should re- main there until his officer came his rounds at 12 o'clock. "My good fellow," said Mr. W-, "I have told you who I am, and I really think you ought to take my word." "It will not do," replied the soldier. "I am by no means satisfied." Then, taking from his pocket a quar- ter of a dollar and presenting it, "Will that satisfy you?" "Why, yes; I think it will." "And now that I am released, pray tell me why you detained me at your post?" "I apprehended you," said the soldier, "as a deserter from the churchyard." - Mirror. Splintering the Speaker's Desk. When Samuel J. Randall was speaker of the house he proved himself an ar- tistic and scientific desk spliuterer. During the Forty -fourth -congress, when the electoral vote was counted and Mr. Hayes was declaredsident, Mr. Randall pounded the top of his desk out of shape three times. Employees of the capitol who do the repairing of fur- niture assert that there never has been a speaker who did not leave the desk at the close of a session in bad con- dition, but that Mr. Reed succeeded in splintering it more effectively than any other speaker. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

CALUMETPoWds NOT MADE BY THE TRUST. NONE SO GOOD. Lincoln'■ Way. At a time when Mr. Lincoln was un- der great mental stress during the civil war Mr. George 1I. Veltman, then con- gressman from Kentucky, called upon him and thus describes the occasion in the New York Tribune: "The president was alone at bis desk, hard at work, and the congressman promptly offered to retire and call again. " `No,' said Lincoln, 'sit down. I'll be through shortly.' "Presently his little son partly open- ed the door. 'Papa,' said be, 'mamma says the company will soon assemble.' "The congressman rose. 'Please be seated; we'll get to it directly,' said Lincoln. "He continued his work. His face was very grave; it showed anxiety and melancholy indescribable. Disasters had come in the field, and it was not all harmony among his supporters. Very soon his barber carne in, and again the congressman offered to retire. " `No,' said Lincoln; 'just excuse me one moment.' He got up, threw off his coat, seated himself in one chair and stretched his long legs across another. The barber lathered his face and com- menced stropping a razor. When that was over the president turned his head and gently asked, 'Now, what can I do?' "The congressman told his mission. It was considered kindly, decided cor- rectly and he went his way. We need not compare this with the court eti- quette of emperors and kings, nor ask if Washington or Adams, or even Jef- ferson, would have so received a vis- itor on business; but It was what Abra- ham Lincoln did." Some One Had to Stay. The story below is from El Mario, an Argentine newspaper published in Spanish. The anecdote is told of a pris- on in a provincial town in Argentina: "An eauployee, whose duty it wire -to -- inspect them, arrived late at night at one of them and asked a ragged 'gaucho' who opened the door where the chief of police was. " `The chief, sir,' be answered, 'lives at his farm, three or four leagues off. He seldom comes.' "'And the second of police?' "'The second has not come for some time, sir. The poor man bas his wife 111.' " 'And the officer of the guard?' "'He has been invited to a dance.' "'And the gendarmes?' " `The 1--ndarmes, sir, finish their duty at 6 p. m. and don't return till next day.' " 'But this is a scandal! There is no- body here to explain things. And you? Who are you?' "'I am the prisoner, sir.' " The whole thing reads like an inci- dent from a comic opera. But it is a perfectly literal translation from the paper mentioned. He Answered It. The following story is told of how Thomas B. Reed was admitted to the bar in California: Mr. Reed was being examined as to his qualifications for the law along with several companions. The question "Was the legal tender act, In your opinion, constitutional?" was asked of the candidate sitting next to Mr. Reed. The young man hesitated, as well he might, for even the justices of the supreme court had spent many weary days hearing arguments on that particular question, and after once de- ciding that it was unconstitutional aft- erward reversed their decision. While the young man hesitated, the judge turned to Mr. Reed, saying, "What do you think, Mr. Reed -was the act con- stitutional?" "It was," replied Mr. Reed, without a moment's hesitation. "Very good," was the reply; "you are admitted to the bar. Any man who can answer offhand a question that is still puzzling the supreme court of the Unit- ed States is certainly pre-eminently qualified to practice law before this court." -Washington Letter. The Missed Dish. A schoolmaster in a village school bad been in the habit of -purchasing pork from parents of his pupils on the occasion of the killing of the pig. One day a small boy marched up to the master's desk and inquired "if he would like a bit of pork, as they were going to kill their pig." The schoolmaster replied in the af- firmative. Several days having elaps- ed, and hearing nothing of the pork, the master called the boy up to him and inquired the reason he had not brought it. "Oh, please, sir," the boy replied, "the pig got better." -San Francisco Argonaut. Back and 'Bae. The Pittsburg Chronicle tells ot • woman who dearly loves to use big words, and she does not always use them correctly.

And the straw will be handled easily, without the slightest trouble and almost no litter, if you use the Nichols - Shepard Swinging Stacker. This takes the place and does the work of an independent stacker. It oscillates automatically, is easily swung to right angles with the separator to carry the straw to either stack or barn. This stacker has been demonstrated by thorough and practical tests in the field to be the handiest, most efficient swinging stacker ever attached to a thresher.

A Casa of Badly Misplaced Civility by She Younger Woman. If anything foils a woinan, it is to have some younger woman get up and offer her a seat in a street car. This misplaced civility infers that the elder MODULO is to be considered on account of her age, when, in fact, there is little difference in years between the two. I witnessed a droll bit of comedy the other day in a Brookline electric that makes me smile every time I think of it. The car was full, with several pas- sengers standing, when in bounced a stout, well preserved person, with white hair beautifully pompadoured. She was dressed in deep mourning, but a bunch of violets in the trout of til" coat gave a touch of -mitigation" to her grief, which was quite borne out by a merriment lurkiug in her mouth and eyes. The lady grasped a strap and looked out of the window. Then suddenly a young person sitting near, observing perhaps that no man in the car Intended to offer his seat, rose and leaning forward touched the other on the arm, saying: Won't you have my seat?" • "Are you going to get out?" asked the standee. "No, ma'am," replied this tactless creature, "but you are older than I, and"- but the sentence was never fin- ished. If a glance could slay, that young person would have fallen on the floor dead. "Thank you. When I am too old to stand up, I shall not enter a public conveyance." That was all. The junior woman slunk back into the seat, and some of the passengers tittered. - Cincinnati Enquirer. A $1,000,000 BEDROOM. GorgeouaSleeping Apartment of Lud- wig -11, the Mad King. "Half way between Muuieh and Salz- burg is the third castle-Herrenchiem- see-built by Ludwig II," writes Pro- fessor J. H. Gore in the July Ladies' Home Journal. "This great structure is incomplete, fortunately for already overtaxed Bavaria, for no one could surmise what its cost would have been. One room alone -the renowned bed- chamber -could not be duplicated for less than a million dollars. • "The vaulted ceiling is one great al- legorical painting, the rounded cornice is covered with a score of richly framed mural paintings, the walls are panels of hammered gold of intricate designs, and even the floor is of a mar- velous pattern. The only suggestion of the purpose of this wonderful room is the sixty thousand dollar bed with its canopy more magnificent than any that covers a regal throne. "In the gorgeous dining room he had erected a disappearing table, which dropped through the floor when a course was finished, and in its place came up another, set and served. He desired this so that servants would be unnecessary in the room and the most secret state matters could be discussed in safety. "Many people sought in vain to see the famous room at Herrenehiemsee. Once an actress pleased Ludwig so much by her recitation that she thought it an opportune moment to re- quest permission to see his 'most poetic bedchamber.' She was coolly dismissed for her effrontery, and the servants were ordered to fumigate the room in which she had been received." iHesektah a Waterworks Engineer. Hezekiah, king of Judah, who reign- ed in the years 717 to 688, B. C., was a pioneer in constructing a system of waterworks, bringing water into the city of Jerusalem. In the holy book we read: "He made the pool and con- duit and brought the water into the city, stopping the upper part of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the ' west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works." From the "pools of Solomon;" near Bethlehem, water was conveyed to Jerusalem, a distance of six or seven miles, through a conduit of earthen pipe about ten inches in diameter. The pipe was incased within two stones, hewn out to-jfit it, then covered over with rough stones cemented together. Even in those days "boil the water" was a well known injunction. -Seattle Post Intelligencer. Won In Spite of His Lawyer. A well known attorney is telling a good story on himself. He had been retained to defend a counterfeiter and advised him to plead guilty. His client did so, aild as there was in the mind of the court a fixed idea that if a prisoner pleads guilty he does so because he has no attorney the Judge asked him why he made that plea. "Because my lawyer told me to." "Did he give you any reason for it?" "Yes. He told me I would have no show before this 'judge." The court flared up and ordered a plea of not gulity to be entered, and the counterfeiter was acquitted. -Phil- ' ielphia CaIL "Eaten a Mountain,, A good example of the caustic humor ofaet S o ch examiner floats this way from we know not where.

Those who aro conversant with the use of globes know that all the merid- ians of longitude starting from the equator converge toward and meet at the pole. They know, too, that longi- tude signifies time, and that difference of longitude is difference in time. They know very well that when it is noon in London it is about 7 o'clock in the morning in Boston, and that when it is noon in San Francisco it is about a quarter past 3 in the afternoon in New York. Now, as the meridian of London ex- tends to the north pole, it necessarily ensues that when it is noon in the Eng- lish capital it must also be noon at the north pole. In a similar manner when it is noon at Boston, or in San Francis- co, or at Peking, or auy other place situated in the northern hemisphere, it follows that it must also be noon at the pole, because all the meridians of those places unite at the north pole. Therefore it is noon all day long at the pole. Thus there is an entire absence of time at the pole. But it would be just as correct to say that it is a place where there is a preponderance of time, for it is practically any tittle of day during the whole 24 hours, or in- deed through the year. In fact, a resi- dent at the north pole could make it any time of day he might choose to se- lect, with the consciousness that it would be the right time. -Youth's Com- panion. A Woman's Whim. She was a woman who made a prac- tice of being always amiable to the clerks in the shops, and there was one dry goods shop where she had traded for many years, and the clerks were like old friends. But there were some business changes, and a new firm made offers to the clerks who had been so long with the old firm that the woman had patronized, ,and they, almost to a mau and woman, left. The lifelong patron of the shop was much incensed at this. It was not fair or right, she said, and in fact almost dishonorable. So one day when she made a first visit to the new shop one of the old clerks who knew her well stepped for- ward to speak to her after the old cor- dial fashion. But, no, this mildest mannered of women turned her head away with a cold stare and passed on without recognition. She could not be cordial to any one who had acted so dishonorably. No explanation is of- fered of why she herself was in the new shop. It may have been just out of curiosity. Of course one can shop where one pleases. -New York Times. A Lucky Bit of Tin. Telling of a narrow escape from death which he had recently ex- perienced, a railroad switchman said: "I was leaning up against the end of that blue box car over there, thinking of what I war going to have for dinner, when I thoughtI saw a silver dollar lying in the street about ten feet away from me. "I knew there was a shifter on the same track, but I thought it was down on the wharf at that time. I hadn't more than iEtepped away from the end of that car when the shifter bunted into it and drove it ahead about 20 feet. Say, suppose I hadn't seen that silver dollar and started for it. Where would I have been now? Yes, a man that is working around the cars has got to pay strict attention to business. "Oh, I forgot to tell you' that that silver dollar was only a round piece of tin, but it served its purpose just as well as the real thing could have done.

Stebbins very pleas tnt- ly entertained a number of elderly ladies last Friday afternoon from the Methodist Church and congregation. The supper was served on the lawn, the guests present numbering sixteen, whose ages ranged from fifty-eight to eighty-eight years, the average being sixty-eight. There were twenty-five invited, one of whom is in her ninetieth year. W. DeW. Pringle is in receipt of a letter stating that Dr. William Thorne, who arrived from Covina, Cal., last Saturday, had an operation performed upon one of his eyes at St. Luke's Hospital, St. Paul, on Tues- day, the cataract removed being larger than the one of two years ago. It was very successfully performed by Dr. Fulton, and the patient at present is doing nicely. Considerable excitement was caused Thursday evening by the report that Willie, the seven year old eon of Mr. adn Mrs. Hilarius Karpeu, was drown- ed in the river, near the railway bridge, and a search was instituted for the body. He had been fishing during the afternoon, and failed to put in an appearance home at supper time. His fishing pole was found at the water's edge, which gave the infer- ence that he might have been drowned. At last accounts no trace of the missing boy had been found.

But she felt no longing to turn and go To her own hearthstone with its royal glow, For though it was wartn and rich and fair There was never a child to greet her there. What treasures had she in that princely homes There were silks from Persia and busts from Rome, Pictures from Paris and London town, Books and books, up stairs and down, Strange, qualnt things from the curious east, But never a child to share the feast. In the lady's mind was a goodly store Of wit and learning and culture more. She had sailed to the east and sailed to the west, She had seen all the things that are rarest and best, And many a wondrous tale she knew, But she had no child to tell them to. And deep in the lady's heart there lay Such power of tering and giving, thsS say, Such fancy for feeling her warm arms close Round a slim little form, with cheeks of rose, Such wealth of love had this lady true, But never a child to give it to.

Gymnasium practice is one of the re- quirements of the German army serv- ice, as well as special military practice in scaling walla, etc. To test the Sol- dier's agility and strength a board wall 163 feet high is built, with a platform on top of it. How can a man six feet tall climb a wall without a single pro- jection to catch hold oP? Alone it woul d ble e' be impossible, with but w th his comrades to assist it becomes possible,athough by no means easy. Two of the soldiers stcop down and place their clasped bands un- der the feet of one of their Comrades, who stands erect. Then as he places his hands on the wall to steady himself the stooping soldiers straighten up, rais- ing him as far as they can. The soldier is not yet able to reach the top of the wall and pull himself up. A comrade who is on top stretches him- self ont on the roof, lying down at full length, and extends his hands to the soldier below. Then by main strength and considerable scrambling the man is pulled up until he can catch a hold of the top and help himself ap. Officers stand by with bayonets guard- ed by little bags of chamois, so that no one can be pierced by a prod, and hurry the practicing privates. Speed is a nec- essary part of the evolution, for an enemy is not going to stand idly by while the Germans climb their ram- parts, and the man wisp scrambles up fastest t t is proclaimed victor in this test of agility. It is no easy matter, with heavy knapsack on your back and cloth- ed in marching garments, to get up a straight wall like this. Mother and Son at the Zoo. I once watched a monkey, which had a baby in arms, being fed with grapes. Tho youngster was most anxious to have a grape, but his mother, being either too selfish to allow him to share ler treator afraid the fruit might not. be good for her son's juvenile digestive organs, d g wool not allow him to have any and boxed his ears soundly for be- ing rude enough to attempt to take a grape out of her mouth. The keeper in charge said she did not "spare the rod and spoil the child" when he became "obstreperous." As his parent would not give him', any fruit, the little fellow endeavored to obtain some on his own account and several times escaped from her arms and began to climb the wire netting in the front of his cage, but was promptly hauled back by the tail. At length he managed to get free, and, running up to the top of his cage, put one hand through the meshes of the galvanized wire and pleaded eloquently with his upturned, dark little eyes for a "taster, " while his mother actually bit herself in sheer rage over naughty boy's bad ' ehavior.—Cassell's "Little Folks" The Courage. to Burn. M. Jules Claretie is responsible for this story of Erckmann and Cbatrian. Those who have studied the works of these men in the original can appreci- ate how conscientious they were. In the height of their popularity they agreed to supply the Journal des De - bats with a romance. It is said that the skeleton of the story always came from one and the giving of flesh to it from the other. When the work was con- cluded, the joint authors sat in judg- ment over it and read it all over. "What do you think of it?" asked one of them. "It is very bad," said the other. "Then let us make a good fire with it, " and seepage by page the manuscript was burned in a stove. The Debats had to wait. In time, however, a fine novel was sent to the paper, and the fame of Erckmann and Chatrian increased. To Vtiliae Slate Waste. Baltimore capitalists have taken out patents for a process by which tiling, brick and ornamental work can be made from crushed slate rubbish. The erection of a Plant in York county, Pa., is proposed, and offers have been made to the quarry owners of 20 cents a cartload for what in the past has been entire waste. It is said that the Baltimore capitalists contemplate investing $200,000 in the enterprise.— Baltimore Sun. 'HL Trade. The Policeman—What's your trade? The Suspect—An ironworker. "Is that so?

The sea train is the name of the most striking of new inventions for the sea. Giuseppe Michele Mangone, a man of real attainments as an in- ventor, says the New York World, has invented this new sea filer. He is now negotiating with the Italian govern. ment for a test of its merits. Dry batteries frill by used, and the electrical propelling machinery is spe- cially constructed for lightness of weight and tensile strength. The shell is to be of the finest steel and aluiufn- lum, each part weighed carefully be- fore being fitted into place to secure exact results. The displacement will. thus be reduced to a minimuut, the idea prevailing all through the cow' struction being that lightness will con- duce to speed fully as much as power, for- great power in the usual skip in- dicates great weight and a correspond- ing retardation. Mr. Maugone says he LATEST OCEAN FLIER. will not, however, sacrifice any needed power by reducing the weight of the propellers. • A deep centerboard will give steadiness to the craft in all kinds of veeather. As a passenger ship the vessel will have a speed of from GO to 100 miles an hour, floating easily on the surface and utilizing all its energies for speed. Safety is secured in the use of two pilothouses, one above the other. The lower one is for the navigator and the upper for the lookout. The construc- tion will provide an inside promenade and quarters which will be impervious to the attack of the heaviest seas. Checking g the Pla n e. If we are judge of the evidence given before the plague commission, says the London Hospital, the evacu- ation of the t'Illages attacked, and even of towns of- considerable size in which epidemics have occurred, has been by far the most successful method of dealing with such out- breaks—that is, if combined with. dis- infection and measures for insuring the cleansing of the houses and their exposure 'to light and air. What is still more interesting. is that it was observed in the Punjab district, India, that even when plague happened to be reintroduced into a village which had been evacuated and disinfected it showed little tendency to spread, so that the evacuation of a few houses was sufficient to check the second out- break. This seems to give the clew, not perhaps to the causa causans, as it has been called, which we must ad- mit to be a bacillus, but to those con- tributory causes which are at least so important as to be essential to the epidemic , prevalence -of the disease— namely, lack of air and light and the presence of dirt and vermin. Clear these away, and even in the presence of infection the outbreak dies down, netted Forty Miles. A whistle has been constructed at Atlanta, Ga., which is audible at Ma- con, 40 miles distant. It is eight feet in height and consists of three bells of special .composition of bronze and bell metal, arranged between two, disks of steel. The largest bell has its mouth turned upward ward 1 and the other two their mouths turned downward. A 3 inch pipe conveys the steam through shal- low openings in the circular disks. The bells are tuned to an eighth and a fifth of a chord and harmonize as accurate- ly as the best tuned piano. Through the peculiar arrangement of the gongs they chime with the accuracy of a set of well tuned bells, and the vibrations are such that the sound of the whistle is not harsh, but soft and low; and yet of such power that it can be heard for 40 miles. The amount of steam re- quired to sound the bell would run a /70 horsepower engine. Two steel wire cables are required to open and close 'tile conical valves that admit the steam. _Pittsburg Press. Early Scythe Patent. As early as May, 1655, a patent was awarded Joseph Jenks of Lynn, Mass., for an improvement in the manufac- ture of scythes "for the more speedy cutting of grass." The innovation con- sisted in giving greater length and thinness to the blade and in welding a bar of iron upon the back, to stiffen and strengthen it, as in the modern scythe. This was an essential improve- ment upon the old form of English scythe, which was a very clumsy in- strument—short and thick, like the bush or bramble scythe. In fact, but little radical change has been made since in the form of this agricultural implement, Joseph Jenks died in 1683. —Hardware. Unique Speed Order. An order to reduce speed to 60 miles an hour on curves would be considered startling on the railroads of the coun- try, where as a general rule 60 miles an hour is the maximum speed on the most favorable stretches of track. One road has, however, Issued an order to reduce speed to 60 miles an hour on all curves. Not long ago its president was riding over the road in his private car, and when a curve was struck the big engine was making 80 miles an hour, and It appeared as if the cars were running on one side. The presi- dent then issued the unique order to reduce the speed to 60 miles an hour on curves. His Side di It. "Where," asked the female suffrage orator, "would a man be today were it not for woman?" She paused a moment and looked around the hall. "I repeat," she said, "where would man be today were it not for woman?" "IIe'd be in the garden of Eden eat- ing ating strawberries," answered a voice from the gallery.—Chicago News. Saving eilve?" at the Mint. Perhaps the most interesting scheme for the recovery of waste silver at the local mint is that applied to the uten- sils of the melting gang. The big iron stirring rods, the dippers, the strainers and the ladles that come in contact with the molten metal are laid aside at intervals and sent down stairs. They are covered with what looks like brown rust, but is really oxidized silver. Suppose, to digress a moment, one desired to get a coat of paint off the outside of a house. In such event the plan of scraping away the house and leaving the shell of paint standing would be regarded as somewhat eccen- tric, yet that is substantially the meth- od adopted at the mint. The imple- ments are placed in baths of sulphuric acid, which attacks the iron or steel, but leaves the silver untouched. Little by little a strainer, for instance, will entirely disappear. That is to say, the original strainer disappears and leaves in its place a hol- low silver counterpart, delicate as an eggshell. They are very curious, these fragile casts. Their surface is a sort of natural filigree, honeycombed with in- numerable fantastic perforations. The reproduction of a bolt or screw is some- times as perfect as an electrotype, but they are hurried remorselessly back to the crucible and thus pursue their cy- cle until at last they find their Karma In a minted coin,—New Orleans Tilnes- Democrat, Wills of Some Women. "Some women derive a great deal of enjoyment out of making their wills," remarked a lawyer the other day. "They change them as often as they change their gowns. It is only a few days ago that I came down to my office to find one of my fair clients anx- iously awaiting me. She was in a great state of nervousness. " `Oh, Mr. Blank,' she exclaimed, 'I've come to change my will.' " `What! Again?' I asked. ' "'Yes,' she said, 'I discovered last night that Mrs. —, whom I had in- tended to leave my diamond tiara to, has been saying spiteful things about my poor, dead husband—said he made his money out of green grocery and an off beer license—odious creature that she is. I could never rest in my grave if I thought h t she would won d ben & e to farth- ing's worth i ' w from rom my death. "'Cross her off the will, please, Mr. Blank, and substitute the name of—let me see, now; whom can I leave the dia- mond tiara to? Well, I'll think it over tonight and come and see you in the morning.' "And so on," continued the man of law. "That good lady changed her will six times in as many months, and the names in it would have filled a small directory, while the rest of it suggest - e(1 au auctioneer's catalogue."—London Mail. Oriental Judgment on Mixed Babies. The Greek ecclesiastical authorities at Aleppo. have been called upon to de- cide a ease which strongly recalls Solo- mon's famous judgment. By a strange coincidence a woman and her daughter both ga't'e birth to a female child at the same time. But tide babies got mixed, and, as one of them was ugly and the other pretty and healthy, both mothers claimed the latter. The elder woman maintained that, as all her other chil- dren were handsome, the ugly child could not he hers, while her daughter claimed that, being young, handsome and strong. she could not be the moth- er of a weak and ugly babe. The religious chief of Ake town set- tled the affair in a summary way. He adjudged the beautiful child to the daughter on the ground that, it being her first, the occasion was not to be made one of humiliation and disap- poiutino nt, while the elder mother could afford to forego her claim since she had already had several handsome children.—Constantinople 'Malumat, A Wonder Flower. The Canadian Manufacturer reports the remarkable phenomenon of the dis- covery of a flower incased in a hole in an old iron casting, the flower being in a perfect state of preservation. A work- man engaged in breaking up old iron at a foundry in Ontario came across an old wheel that had done service on a stationary engine for many years. On breaking it he discovered in a crevice a flower blossom in perfect condition, its color being as fresh as the day it found its way into its mysterious hiding place. It had evidently fallen into the casting when it was being poured, and in some manner escaped injury from the molten metal. As the cavity was perfectly airtight it naturally retained its freshness until exposed to view. Her Lucid Reason. "Don't you wish," he asked, looking soulfully into her eyes, "that the tun- nel on this line was ten times as long?" "No," she answered. •It struck him like a dash of cold wa- ter in the face. Instantly it dawned upon him that she no longer loved him. "They always light the car lamps when coming to the long tunnels," she added, "and they don't for the short Ines."—Chicago Post. An Unconscious Press Agent. It was a critic who uprose on the first night of the late Charles Reade's drama, "It's Never Too Late to Mend," at the Princess theater, London, in 1865, and vehemently protested against the flogging business in the jail scene as being inhuman and untrue to life. However, it was true to Iife, and the discussion that ensued tended to crowd the theater for many months. Nobody Missed It.

Believe very little what others say.. and watch yourself closely.—Atchison Globe. A Vindictive Reptile. The fer-de-lance is found on the is- lands of Martinique and Santa Lucia, where the natives counteract its virus with a decoction of jungle hemlock, and the basis of its grewsome reputa- tion seems to be the fact that it does not warn the intruders of its haunts, after the manner of the cobra or the rattlesnake, but flattens its coils and, with slightly vibrating tail, awaits events. - If the unsuspecting traveler should show no sign of hostile intent, he may be allowed to pass unharmed within two yards of the coiled matadore, but a. closer approach is apt to be construed as a challenge, and the vivoron, sud- denly rearing its ugly head, may scare the, trespasser into some motion of self defense --he may lift his foot or brand- ish his stick in a menacing manner. 1f he does, he is lost. The lower coils will expand, bringing the business end, neck and all, a few feet nearer; the head "points" like a leveled rifle, then darts forward with electric swiftness, guided by an unerring instinct for the selection of the least protected parts of the body. And the vindictive brute is ready to repeat its bite. For a moment it rears back, trembling with excitement, and, if felled by a blow of its victim's stick, will snap away savagely at stumps and stones or even, like a wounded pan- ther, at its own body. -Popular Science Monthly. A Silent Rebuke. A curly haired small boy sat in a Fourteenth street car just at the time of the day when the cars are most crowded on Thursday afternoon. A worn looking woman, evidently his mother, sat beside him, At Fifteenth street a particularly buxom woman of middle age crowded into the car. Where was no seat for her, and she stood glar- ing at the boy. Later her displeasure vented itself in words, and she express- ed herself freely to the Foman who stood next her about woiilen wbo let their children occupy seats while ladies are standing. The worn loo'cing wom- an flushed, but made no move to have the boy surrender his seat. The buxom woman still glared and still expressed herself with extreme frankness. The boy sat still At N street the mother rangthe bell. As the scars stopped to ed ah In e put her arms around the boy and lifted him to Ills feet, half carrying him to the door, "Won't you take this seat?" she said to the buxom woman. "I am just tak- ing him home from the hospital." And as the car rolled on the buxom woman looked warmer than the weath- er warranted.—Washington Post. Dirt For the Dirt nes. "In several of the prow tial towns," writes Mr. Ransome, "one finds hotels said to be conducted on the foreign principle and certain Japanese hotels have a foreign side. The European ac- commodation in such places is, as a rule, terrible. The rooms are dirty, the beds are rickety, the bedclothes are apparently seldom washed and the ta- bles and chairs are seldom capable of standing on more than two legs at a time. "When I first went to Japan I could not understand how, on the foreign side of the Japanese hotels, the accom- modations could be so iferior, when the Japanese portion wais kept scrupu- lously clean. One would naturally think that a people whose houses were so spotless would revolt at having a portion of their premises in a filthy condition. "But, as explained to me by the land- lord of one of these hybrid establish- ments: `Foreigners are dirty by nature. They go about their houses in their boots, and consequently they cannot wish to have their rooms kept in prop- er condition.' "—Literature.

The English Government Tried to and Did For a Time Suppress the News Because It Feared a General Uprising at the Convict Colony. The history of the discovery of gold in Australia makes peculiar reading in these days, when the mere suspicion of gold in a district, however close to un- inhabitable regions, will cense a rush. Gold in Australia was discovered -one might almost be pardoned for saying first discovered -many times. Bnt the news of the earliest discoveries was jealously kept from spreading. The se- cret of this reticence lay in the presence of the army of convicts which then composed the balance -of the popula- tion. Had a gold panic broken out it was feared that a general uprising of the prisoners would take place. Nevertheless the first gold found in Australia was by convicts in 1814, near Bathurst, New South!Vales. The discoverers gathered together a quan- tity quite sufficient to lead them to be- lieve that they had found a gold mine. But when they reported what they con- sidered their good fortune to the keeper he, inetead of undertaking to recom- mend then] for pardon or easing their hard labors in any way, threatened to give them all a sound flogging if they ventured again to say a word about the matter or to spend any more time pick- ing up gold. The next find was Made on the Fish river in 1823, not far from the spot where the convicts bad come across it nine years before. This news, being reported to the authorities, was also ordered suppressed. Within the course of the next two years finds were so frequent that the London govern- ment began to take great interest in the affair. But the fact that another region of the yellow metal plight be at the disposal of such as might seek was kept rigidly secret until in 1825 a dra- matic incident precluded all possibility of further secrecy. A convict was discovered with a nug- get of gold in his possession. When asked how be had come by the metal, he said that he had picked it np in the bush. He was cautioned and told that the authorities had no donbt that he had stolen the gold, bat the prisoner stoutly held to his original tale. At length he was taken out and severely flogged in public as a thief. There is now no doubt that the man told the truth. After this, although the public were every now and then keyed up to great expectations by some reported find, no farther veins were discovered until 1839, when a Rnssian nobleman found a rich deposit in the Blue moun- tains. The British government again became fearful of the consequence of such news upon a colony of ccnvicts and ordered the matter suppressed. Yet sufficient people had heard of it to keep the story alive and give credence to such rumors as arose from time to time. So matters drifted on. Time and time again bushmen, shepherds, convicts, surveyors, picked np small nnggets and brought them to the centers of popula- tion, but at that day people were noth- ing like so keen on gold mining as they subsequently became, and the subject of gold in Australia was not pursued as one would expect it to be. The discovery of gold in California changed all that. Those rich fields, panning out their golden store and fill- ing the coffers of lucky individuals and governments at a rate never dreamed of, awakened a thirst for prospecting all the world over. In every part of the earth men went out with pick and pan, hoping to come across the precious metal. When the news of California's for- tune reached Australia, many took ship to America's shores, and among these was Hammond Hargreaves, an English- man, native of Gosport, who had emi- grated to New South Wales in 1832. In Australia be engaged in farming without much profit and was among the first to rush for California. On reaching the auriferous region the first thing that struck him was the sim- ilarity of the geological formation in California and Bathurst, Australia, and there and then he made up his mind to inquire into the subject should he ever return to Australia. He worked for something like a couple of years in California and then set sail for New Sonth Wales. Returning, he, of course, carried in his mind the thought that perhaps there might be gold in Bath- urst, and when he landed he set to work to make a thorough search. Before this, however, he had made the acquaintance of William and James Toms and J. H. O. Lister, who were anxious to prospect for gold. Har- greaves taught them how to use pick and pan, the dish and the cradle -in fact, gave them a practical if rough education into the mysteries of gold and gold bearing rocks and gravel. These men struck out, and in April, 1851, the three pupils retnrned to their old master, and, lo, in their pockets they carried gold to the amount of four ounces. Hargreaves, knowing the ropes, took this gold and full directions to the proper quarter. The news went forth, the rush began, rich finds were made, and Hargreaves was hailed as the dis- coverer of gold in Australia. In reality he bad won the title, for it was his knowledge that first educated the Tomses and Lister, and it was his knowledge again that sent them in the right direction. Hargreaves was presented to Queen Victoria in 1851 as the sole discoverer of the Australian goldfields and was made much of in England. He died in 1891. -Cincinnati Umber.

"The greatest magicians I have ever seen," said Dr. Washington Mathews of the army, "the most expert in leger- demain, were the Arickaree Indians, who in my time -in 1865 -lived at Fort Berthold, in what is now North' Dakota. In the autumn of that year, when the harvest was done and before they went out upon their winter hunt, weeks and months were spent in cere- 1 monies of all kinds, picturesque and symbolic dances, the celebrations and anniversaries of secret societies, etc., among not only the men, but the w om- en and the little children. "Events of this kind occurred every day and every night. They bad in the center of their village a great medicine lodge, probably 90 feet in diameter, circular in form. In it they had per- formances every night, and we idle white men, who had nothing else to do, visited these performances more regn- lerly than we would visit the theaters in a city. It was a place of resort with us every night. Part of the lodge was fenced off for the audience and the rest reserved for the performers. In addi- tion to songs and dances they had ex- hibitions of legerdemain. I cannot think of all their tricks, for years have rolled by since then. Making little wooden images smoke pipes, putting a stuffed bird on the end of a stick and making it chirp, were among the most amusing. The last trick was probably performed by the use of a reed in the month of one of the magicians. "The fire dance was one of their most interesting performer '.;es. They would build a tremendous fire, dance around it, and at a certain point the men would break oat and rush into the roar- ing flames, dance in them and throw the embers madly into the air. It was then time for us to rush ont ourselves, because we might be struck by some of the flying brands. Apparently they went into the fire barefooted and bare- legged. They wore nothing but breech - clouts. "Night after night they had some- thing new. Another trick was appa- rently to ran a knife through a man's arm and let the blood rash out. They would entertain us for hours with songs and dances. No admission fee was charged, but we frequently made them presents." "What is the greatest trick you have ever seen among the Navajoes?" "The growth of the corn is a very pretty trick. It takes place at night by the uncertain light of the fire, which confuses the eye of the spectator. A party of Indians come in and dance, bearing nothing apparently about them. They form a ring, singing and dancing. The ring opens, and there you see grow- ing out of the bare ground of the corral a small plant. They sing awhile, and the ring closes again. When it opens a second time, the yucca baccata plant is noticed. In Indian rites everything goes by fours. It is their sacred num- ber, as three and seven are sacred num- here with us. There are four acts in the rite. The second is the plant in bud. The third is the plant in flower. The ring closes again, and when it opens there is the fruit, with great beans six inches long banging to it. The expla- nation is that they bring into the inclo- sure with them the various parts of -the plant, which they deftly place in proper position while the ring is closed during the incantations. "They use their blankets to cover the work. For rude people like them, with poor instruments, in the days when they had flint knives, it must have been a great task to prepare for this trick. Our wax workers and toymakers would not find it difficult. The Indians in the audience believe the dancers to be gifted with supernatural power. The performance is partly religious worship and partly amusement. It is partly with a view of making abundant fruit and partly for entertainment. "-Chi- cago Record. Buttermilk as a Medicine. Long experience has demonstrated buttermilk to be an agent of superior digestibility. It is indeed a true milk peptone -that is, milk already partial- ly digested, the coagulation of the co- agulable portion being loose and flaky and not of that firm, indigestible na- ture which is the result of the action of the gastric juice upon sweet cow's milk. It is a decided laxative, a fact which must be borne in mind in the treatment of typhoid fever and which may be turned to advantage in the treatment of habitual constipation. It is a diuretic and may be used to advantage in some kidney troubles. It resembles koumiss in its nature, and, with the exception of that article, it is the most grateful, refreshing and digestible of the prod- ucts of milk. It is invaluable in the treatment of diabetes, either exclusive- ly or alternating with skimmilk. In some cases of gastric ulcer and cancer of the stomach, it is the only food that can be retained. -Elgin Dairy Report. Funny Trousers.

How to Open a New Book. Hold the book with its back on a smooth or covered table; let the front board down, then the other, holding the leaves in one hand while yon open a few leaves at the Dark, then a few at the front, and so go on, alternately opening back and front, gently pressing open the sections till you reach the center of the volume. Do this two or three times and yon will obtain the best results. Open the volume violently or carelessly in any one place and yop will likely break the back and cause a start in the leaves. Never force the back. If it does not yield to gentle opel*og rely upon it the bass is too tightly or etrongly lined. A connoisseur many year, ago, an excellent customer of mine, who thought he knew perfectly how to han- dle books, came into my office when I had an expensive binding just brought from the bindery ready to be sent home. He, before my eyes, took hold of the volume, and tightly holding the leaves in each band, instead of allowing them free play, violently opened it in the center and exclaimed, "How beautifully your bindings open!" I almost fainted. He had broken the back of the volume, and it had to be refound. -"Modern Bookbinding Practically Consid,.rcd," by William Matthews. Got the Wrong Woman. A pastime which obtains among the farm classes of Korea, known as the "packing off of widows," consists of a raid by some disconsolate widower and bis friends on some village known to con- tain a young widow, the forcible abduc- tion of the lady in question and her mar- riage to the widower. An instance of this kind has recently come to our no- tice. A widower living in one of the villages of Kanawha with 11 friends went to a hamlet close to the walls of Kangwha city where a widow lived and seized and carried oft, after some- what of a battle, a young lady. It so happened, however, that they bad mis- taken the house and unfortunately got hold of the wrong lady. Early the next morning an indignant posse came in pursuit, but the men who had commit- ted the dastardly deed succeeded in eluding them. The young lady, how- ever, was rescued, and after the house of the widower and its contents had been completely demolished she was escorted home in triumph by her hus- band and bis friends. -Kobe Chronicle. Hook Swinging In Bengal. The people of Gangutia, in Bengal. have a barbarous practice called hook swinging. They deck themselves out with garlands, and then assemble to- gether to undergo the most horrible tor- ture. A wire about a quarter of an inch in diameter and seven feet long is pierced through the tongue, and then the wretched being will dance for over half an hour with the wire still hang- ing through the tongue. Some of them form themselves into a row and are then sewed together by a wire needle threaded with cord. They are sewed by the arms and look like herrings on a wire when ready for the book. It is thought that the victims are drugged considerably beforehand, owing to the sullen, dazed expression they wear throughout, but sometimes one or two faint and are with great difficulty brought round again. When Home I■ Sweet. Fewer wives would sit lonesomely at home while their husbanais roam else- where in search of entertainment if more wives realized that home should be something besides a clean place to eat and sleep in. Men "hate" wom- en's tea parties and large show func- tions, but they like dinner and supper parties. Many families refrain from entertaining because they cannot do so on an expensive scale. It 1s, how- ever, possible to give small dinners and suppers that are both enjoyable and inexpensive. Ask people who either do or will like each other, and if you wish the women to have a good time have just as many men guests as wom- en guests. If the men are to have a good time, make sure that some of the women are pretty and flattering. Men like to be flattered. Oh, yes, they do. - Gentlewoman. Boiled Rice. Thomas Murray, the noted chef, says many cooks do not know how to do so simple a thing as to boil rice properly. Each grain of rice, he says, should be distinct, whole, but at the same time tender. To accomplish this, a small quantity of rice should be boiled in a Large pot nearly filled with water. Put it into cold water and a little salt and boil rapidly for 20 or 80 minutes. Teat the grains occasionally, and when a slight pressure between the thumb and forefinger will crush them they are done. If allowed to boil till the grains burst or boiled in a small quantity of water, the grains will stick together. When done, drain off the water and set the rice on the range, where it will keep warm. -Exchange. Hay Crops on Iee. Farmers who live in the vicinity of Muskego lake, in southeastern Wiscon- sin, derive a profitable income from the lake each winter by harvesting hay on the ice. The shallowness of the water In the lake bed causes the grass growing on the bottom to project considerably above the surface, and when the Ice forms the hay can be cut with great ease, though it cannot be got at the rest of the year on ac- count oi~tbe boggy nature of the lake bottom.

He has a large green parrot, and the cage is hong Dear the telephone, with the result that Polly has become quite proficient in "telephone talk" and furnishes much amusement to the cus- tomers who have the time to stop and listen. The other day a stylishly dressed young lady came rustling into the store and asked permission to use the phone. The druggist pointed to the rear of the store, and she started in that direction. The store was rather dark, and when she heard some one apparently talking into the receiver she seated herself on a chair to wait. "Hello central -hello, hello -yes, give me four -double -eight express. Yes, hello; who is that? Oil, yes; what, •yes; Bello, I say ; no, I didn't get that; is that so? Well, gcodby ; ring off.

On the principle that to some persons even old stories are new, this one, of the royal princelings of England, is given in Mr. G. W. E. Russell's recent book, "Collections and Recollections:" An English gentleman who had a de- formed foot was going to visit the queen at Osborne, and before his arrival the queen and Prince Albert debated whether it would be well to warn the Prince of Wales and the princess royal of his physical peculiarity, so as to avoid their making embarrassing re- marks, or to leave it to their awn gowA_ feeing. The latter course was adopted. Lord -- duly arrived. The foot elicited no remark from the royal children, and the visit passed off with success. Next day the princess royal asked the queen: "Where is Lord --1" "He has gone back to London, dear." "Oh, what a pity ! He had promised to show Bertie and me hie foot!" They had caught him in a quiet spot and made their own terms with the captive. His Half Way Scheme. Not long ago a Pittsburg life insur- ance agent persuaded a Chinaman to take out a policy of $5,000. The latter had no clear idea of the transaction, but understood that on paying the premiums promptly he would be enti- tled to $5,000 some time. He began bothering the agent for the money after a couple of weeks had passed, and the agent tried to explain to him that he would have to die before he could get it. The Chinaman fell down a cellar - way and was badly hurt. His friends tried to attend to him without calling in a doctor. When they did call one in two days later, the doctor was angry. "Why didn't yon call me sooner?" he aeked. "This man is half dead now." Next day the injured man's brother was at the insurance office with a claim for $2,500. "You're not entitled to anything on this," said the insurance agent, "until the man is dead." "Doctol say him half died," an- swered the brother. "Why he no glet lat half ?" Good Horse Sense. The Mexican burros ascertain where to dig for water by closely observing the surface of the ground. One ob- server writes: "We had found water_ in an arroya of a sufficient quantity to make cof- fee, when we saw three burros search- ing for water. They passed several damp places, examining the ground closely, when the leader halted near ns and began to paw a hole in the hot, dry sand. Having dug a hole some- thing over a foot in depth, he backed out and watched it intently. To our surprise it soon began to fill with wa- ter. Then he advanced, took a drink and stepped aside for his companions to drink. When they went away, we drank from their well and found the water to be much cooler than any we bad found for many a day. There is no witchcraft about Mexican burros, but they have good horse sense." A Mew Sensation. If you want. to enjoy a new new tion, tell a man you have heard Home• thing about him.

IRVING TODD O SON. SATURDAY. JULY 29th. 1899. Corner Stone Laid. The laying of the corner stoue of the new school house Wednesday after- noon was a notable event in the history of our city, in fact, of vastly more importance than any that has transpired during the past quarter of a century, and one long to be re- membered by all who witnessed the exercises. The arrangements were .in charge of the High School Alumni Association, and were very success- fully carried out, much credit being due to those taking part for the high order of this fitting celebration of so important an event concerning the future of our fair city. A large crowd of spectators was present, who displayed their deep interest and ap- preciation in this laudable enterprise, and of the sentiments put forth in the eloquent and appropriate remarks made by the several speakers. F. N. Crosby, master of ceremonies, laid the corner stone "in the name of the sovereignty of the people whose corner stone is education. The programme in detail was as follows: March.

The following is the paper read by C. S. Lowell: If one were to weave a complete history of the structure whichis here rising be- fore us, I think it would be ueccessary to go back not one, not ten, but forty years or more in the histo . of our city, and there begin to gather up the threads for the fabric. This building when com- pleted will represent not alone the work of the carpenters aid masons who framed its arches and laid its wails, nor of the master -builder whose brain and eye de- signed it in every detail, nor of the men and women whose personal interest have hastened its erection, nor of the citizens who so liberally voted the funds and who will pay the taxes. but rather it will be a monument to the educational spirit, --the spirit of progress which has been enlarg- ing and intensifying f.om the time when the first little log school house was built near the Indian Springs, down to the present hour. The real histoiy of this institution has its commencement far back in the past and it may best be read in the lives of all those who during the passing years have been brought in o touch with the schools of our city. Toe grandfathers and grandmothers who laid the first foundations; the fathers and mothers who have seen the schools steadily increasing their influence and usefulness, and trainig the children into noble manhood and womanhood; the young men and women who realize that our schools have widened the horizon of their view of life and given them glimpses of heights and depths of knowledge which otherwise they had not known; the teachers who inspired these young men and women to scale those heights and sound those depths ---all these are the fac- tors which together have made this mag- nificent school building possible. But the short history which I am asked to write and which is already known-' to • some, and probably to most of you, re- lates, I presume, to the movement which brought to the attention of the public the present need of a new building and which has its crowning success in the event, to celebrate which we are met to -day. This movement is of comparatively re- cent origin. It had been known for some years by those who had taken the pains to investigate that the old building Deed- ed many repairs, and it was also realized that the arrangement of the buiiding was entirely inappropriate to the needs of a progressive modern school, such as ours is recognized to be. In addition to these facts the ever increasing number of stu- dents which the excellence of our schools has drawn from the surrounding country, made it imperative that more room should be provided_ for their accommodation. Secretly the school board had long wrestled with the problem, which, like Banquo's ghost haunted.them by day and by night. Whisperings of their perplexi- ty had been heard abroad, and in the spring of 1898 these whisperings had as- sumed shape in a definite rumor that a new school building must be p :ovided. But the school board, which at this time consisted of Messrs. A. M. Adsit, Michael McHugh, Jerome Hanna, John Heinen, E. A. Dean, J. P. Hanson and B. D. Cadwell, hesitated to urge the matter too strongly before a people who had so re- cently responded to calls for funds to build the high wagon bridge over the Mississippi and to secure the location and site for the new state insane hospital, and } so itseemed that the new school might remain a vision for some time to come. But at this point the Clio Club, a society of women which has for one of its prime objects municipal improvement in the broadest sense of the expression, became deeply interested in the matter, and at their meeting held on June 6th, 1898, a committee, consisting of Mrs. A. M. Adsit, Mrs. E. A. Whitford and' Mrs. Albert Schaller, was appointed for the purpose, as declared in the minutes of that meeting "to see each member of the school board individually, for the pur- pose of agitating the matter of a new school house." This action of the club was undoubtedly the first definite step in the direction of organized effort to bring about the result in which we all rejoice to -day, although, as we have seen, the movement had previously been set on foot. I have been reminded more than once since beginning to write this history of the epigrammatic manner in which Mrs. J. H. Lewis, of the Clio Club, at the last alumni banquet of the high school summed up her remarks upon the new achool movement. She said: "The men they talked and the men they Cussed All day, front sun to aim. The women took the matter up,—and then the thing was done." The earnestness whim these ladies carried into their work is very clearly shown by the wo.ds of one of the mem- bers of this com ilittee on the occasion of the opening of Meloy Park a few days after the appointment of that committee. On that occasion Mrs. Whitford'said "Very soon indeed we expect you to in- vite us to help you in laying the corner- stone for a new high school building, as handsome and as modern as any in the little towns about us." This sounds almost like the voice of prophecy, for such is the event which iu little more than a year front the time those words were uttered, brings us together here. lu that one short year difficulties have been met and overcome, questions have been asked and answered, arguments have been met by arguments, and as a result the people of Hastings, by a vote of four hundred and sixty-seven in favor to only eighty-five.opposed, on the part of the men, and of three hundred and thirty- nine in favor to only six opposed, on the part of the women, have declared that this building shall have its sure founda- tion in the favoring sentiment of a united community. We have seen that there were many ob- stacles in the way of realiziug the hope of a new school house at this time, and it has been well for our city that the right sort of men and women were at baud to surmount these obstacles, or to set them aside. It is well indeed that we had the present school board just at this critical time. Each and eyery member has shown himself to be an earnest, persever- ing, public-spirited man, faithful to his trust, solicitous for the highest welfare of our schools. Without these men, the ex- ercises of to -day- would in all probability not have been held for some years to come. Upon the board of education de- volved the leadership and management of the whole movement. They have been called upon to bear adverse criticism from those who did not fully understand the situation. They have given continually of their time and effort, at times prolong- ing their board sessions until long past the midnight hour, in short they have been compelled to bear the real burden of the labor and responsibility all the way through, and this they have done unhesi- tatingly, and for their reward they have the consciousness of duty faithfully done. and the thanks of a grateful community. The newspapers of our city have done much to educate the public sentiment in favor of the new school. not alone through their editorials, but also through the opening of their columns to everything which favored the project. Articles were written by Hos. J. H. Lewis, Hon. Albert Schaller, Mr. L. C. Hodgson, and others who were most familiar with our schools and their needs, and all these spoke with no uncertain sound of a new school build- ing as a positive necessity, and in these articles the ;acts iu the case were brought prominently before the people. This history would not be complete without mention of the aid given by the High School Alumni Association. The young men and women of Lhis•body took hold of the work with a zeal born of the inconvenience and discomforts which had lately been experienced by many of them as students in the old building. Their plan was to interview every male voter personally who was known to be luke- warm or cold toward the new school, and if possible to secure his promise to vote Lor the school bonds. This plan, was so faithfully carried out that many votes were gained which might otherwise have been cast against the bonds, for each and all of these graduate students spoke with the knowledge of experience, and an authority which could not be gainsaid. There' are many facts in connection with the history of this work which are omitted from this paper, and which are perhaps as important as any that have been mentioned. But even were there time, and did we know them all to set them down, even then this account would be but a preface or an introduction to the real history of this magnificent structure which to -day begins to rise Phenix -like from the ruins of its former self, and al- ready gives the promise of a glorious vis- ion which is as yet hidden behind the cur- tain which veils the future from our sight. A hundred years hence, an abler hand than mine may pen the history of an educational institution here in Hast- ings, whgch, with kindred institutions throughout the west, fostered within its hallowed walls that spirit of enlighten- ment and progress which brought it into being, and which, as one has said "shall dominate the civilization of the coming Century".

The Cottage Grove Tragedy This community was greatly shock- ed on receiving the announcement that Le Roy E. Furber, oldest son of Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Furber, had com- mitted suicide by taking poison. His body was found in the barn shortly afterwards by his father, who had ice► gone in search of him. No cause is known for the rash act, but it is generally thought that his mind was slightly unbalanced owing to a severe attack of typhoid fever experienced last fall while attending Carltone;Col- lege at Northfield. He has acted rather strangely of late, and at one time it was thought he tried to take his life with chloroform. He was sixteen years of age, an exceptionally bright and promising boy, and a favorite with the entire community. His parents are both prostrate over the terrible shock, as he was the household favorite. This family has always been a very unfortunate one, two brothers of Mrs. Furber having been killed a number of years ago, and her mother, Mrs. M. Ladd, it will be remembered, was burned to death at the Furber home some years ago by the explosion of a lamp.—St. Paul Dispatch, 26th. A Giant Now in Uniform. Business at the recruiting office moves along slowly, but surely. Four men have been secured since Monday, Clarence E. Whitford, Thomas F. Brown, John_ J. Sitze, 111 of Northfield, and Joseph J. Hines, Minneapolis. If there are many men in Northfield like Clarence Whitford, it would be a good thing to open a recruiting station there, or to offer a bounty for the production of soldiers.. Whitford is only eighteen years old, but in his bare feet he measures six feet, three and three-fourths inches. The recruiting officers are as proud of him as an angler would be to catch a ten -pound bass, bat as he is only eighteen years old now they cannot but wonder what he will be when he gets his growth. As big as lie is now, it was a bard job to fit biro out with clothes. Uncle Sam does not count on as big men, and there were no trousers in store that would fit him by an inch or two. The longest pair in store had to be let out before the recruit could be called well dress- ed—Minneapolis Trip line. 26th. The Week's Shipments SATURDAY. Miller Bros., three cars oats west. . D. L.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that Is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the median' fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional dis- ease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys- tem, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution antr assisting na- ture in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they of- fer one hundred dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. - Address, F. J.

The game between the Gluek Brew- ing Company's team and the home nine at the fair grounds last Sunday afternoon attracted a fair sized crowd, and was as good as any that has been played here this year. The score stood five to one in favor of the visitors. The especial feature was the excellent work of the batteries- Thielen and Mauren and Carisch Bros. The strikeouts numbered eight for Hastings and seven for Minneap- olis. In the sixth inning a double play was made by Anderson, who fielded a fly and threw to first.

The game played between Goodhue and Mazeppa at the latter place on Sunday resulted in favor of the for- mer by a score of ten to seven. Ed- ward Carisch, of this city, acted as pitcher for the winning nine. The Hastings nine wills -no doubt, uphold their good reputation next Sunday in the second game to be played at the fair grounds with the Gluek Brewing Company's team, of Minneapolis. The Gluek nine is one of the best amateur teams in the state but the Hastings team is, ac- cording to the general verdict of those who witnessed the game last Sunday, their equal if not their superiors. The coming contest will doubtless prove a close and exciting one. Alumni Mooting.

The Clock Stopped When the Ring Came Off Her Finger, but Afterward Reeled Off rte., the Hours In a Hurry. The following incidents are set forth in an old chronicle of "Village Life In Hungary:" It is related how one day the beauti- ful Elizabeth Grunblatt returned, with- out warning, Janos Gothard, her be- trothed, his ling. Now it can readily be imagined how like lightning the news of this event spread around the town of R oasno and what a dust it raised. And why not ? Was Janos Gothard, Jr., I ask yon, in any way a person to be trifled with ? The son of Mayor Gothard, whose bears and forbears had always formed a powerful dynasty in their native village! Nor was a girl like Elizabeth Grun- blatt to be picked up on every rubbish heap. She, too, came of a fine old stock, whose offshoots had frequently graced the judicial bench; nay, were old Jo- seph Grunblatt still alive—but that is neither here nor there. Even if young Janos Gothard were a personage with whom it was best to take liberties, surely a betrothal ring is not a fit object for sncb a pastime. Hence great was the excitement. The people assembled in eager groups in the squares and streets and discussed the probable ontcome of the affair; general opinion leaning to the belief that the Gothard family would not ac- cept the rebnff in silence. Then broke in upon their disturbed minds this second wonderful event, which also spread like wildfire; the tower clock had stopped that morning at precisely the hour and the minute at which Elizabeth Grnnblatt bad drawn 'the ring from her finger! It was exact- ly as though Providence had directly interposed to arrest the hands and in- tended to hold them captive until the full truth of the matter should come out! Now this tower clock had always been as great a source of pride to the Rozsnoites as the fair fame of their women, and here, at one blow of fate, was al] over with both! They had good reason, too, for their pride, particular- ly in the clock, for it was trnly a mar- vel of its kind, so much so that the fa- mous Albertus Turibins had journeyed way from Switzerland the preceding year expressly 'to study its mechanism. The wardens had not been at all in- clined to permit this profanation, but old Senator Komives gave utterance to this remark: "Let us not close our ears to the man's request, since we can be perfect- ly aesured that the wonders of our clock will find no room in his bead!" And such was really the case. A whole week long be rummaged and P4ked and pounded about among n g its 1 m ht g y wheels and hammers, its in- numerable little rods and triggers, with the result that Saturday evening, when he had done, he knew precisely as much as he did Monday morning when he be- gan. There was but one man alive whc understood the mechanism of the Kozsno clock, and that was Martin Szontagh, its maker, and he was dumb. But he could never, in any case, have been induced to reveal its secrets, since it was positively the only one of its kind in existence. In the records of that day it is repeatedly set forth that in all cases of dispute, where the knowledge if time was a necessity, the law decreed /that that of the Rozsno clock should be accepted as the standard. The remarkable feature of this clock was the separating, at noon and at midnight, of its face into two parts, al- lowing a cock to come forth, amid an insane din of hammers, wheels and springs„ simulating the while a cry, like the crowing of a cock, which rang Out over the silent roofs and into the busy movement of the streets this warn. "Lutherans, look to yourselves!" Now, all at once, the mighty thing was stilled. It was exactly as though it were making the mute declaration: "I move not again by the breadth of a hair. Mornings can dawn and even- ings fall for all me; I remain es I am so sure as God sees me. I have also shut the cook up away from yon forever morel" Now is it really worth while, I ask yon, to endure all this on account of a woman? To the Rozsnoites it was an indubitable fact that the stopping of the clock had directly to do with the whims of a capricious girl, else why could it not have stopped yesterday, or Elizabeth sent back the ring tomorrow? To all overtures looking toward a reconciliation, the obstinate girl's only reply was: "I would rather marry the devil than Janos Gothard!"

They even finally reached, with their petition, the very steps of the throne itself, but all in vain. Tho affair re- mained precisely where it was. Tbey had at last relinquished all hope when one day it came to pass that, on meeting old Martin Szontagh in the street, Janos Gothard, Sr., not only did not return his greeting, but pointedly turned away his head. Now, old Szontagb bad the reputation of be- ing a man who held himself in very high esteem. He was the maker of the famous clock, had been decorated royal bands for the same. and t averting of a Gothard head he took tremely ill. Upon arriving home vth•ote upon his tablets and halt them to his son: "Have you any quarrel with t Gothards ?" The young man then related to h the whole story.

Exactl at noon on Easter Sunday, in the mid of the hurrahs of a multitude gathere from miles around, the works of the fa famed Rozsno clock set in motion.

You all admit that the time it sets must, in every case, be accepted by Rozsnoites as the standard ?" "Yes, yes; that is true," affirmed the senators. The old man persued : "You have condemned the girl my son would take to wife to a seven years' penance"— "H-m-m 1" growled Emerich Ko- mives, a light breaking in upon him. "I have, therefore, so adjusted. the clock that it shall tell off those seven years in seven months!" "But—but you will set it right?"

In an hour, I should say, 12, the reason for the clock's unaccountable performance had spread throughout the town. The chief magistrate took conneel with his aids. "The clock will bring disgrace upon usl" "In just so much as it was formerly our pride will it now work uur confu- sion!" "Let us give in!" Again the senators betook themselves to Martin.

He was equal to the lady whose hostess showed her a dish of water cress at a side table just before dinner was served.

"Now, Mrs. Smith," said the nurse, "remember, please, you must not give your little boy anything at all to -tit. Will you promise me?" "Yes; oh, of course not." Toward evening the nurse in charge noticed a great change in the child's appearance and at once telephoned for the doctor. The same old question came, "What has he had to eat ?" "No; noth- ing but orders." "Well, he has. You can see that for yourself." But no one knew. "Well, he is dying. I can't do anything. Perhaps the mother may get here in time if she cornea at once."

"It does not bear the slightest resem- blance to me," said he, "and I will not take it." The artist protested, but all to nc avail. After the dandy had left the painter added to the portrait a magnificent pair of ass' ears and exhibited it in the win- dow, thus altered, to the gaze of the curious public. It hadn't been long exposed when the dandy entered e d tb e artist's studio do in a towering rage, and, finding that threats amounted to nothing, he at last offered to hey it, even at a considerable ad- vance upon the original price. "It wasn't strange you didn't recog- nize your resemblance to the picture at first," said the painter, "but I knew you'd notice the likeness as soon as I added these ears, "—Spare Moments. Marriage by Halter. Among ignorant people of English birth it is frilly believed that a wife bought with money or goods is legally married if the purchaser leads her all the way home by a halter. Mr. Baring Gould, the English anti - (Darien, tells of a village poet known to him who bought a wife for a half crown and led her 12 miles to his cot- tage. The squire and the rector protested to the village poet that he was not legally wedded. "Why, yes I be," he replied. "I'll take my Bible oath I never once tcok tithe halter off till she'd crossed the door- sill and the door was shpt." The latest instances of such wife sales occurred in 18158 and 18159, when wom- en were sold in Little Horton and in Dudley. In these cases a bine ribbon took the place of the straw halter. But, gentle ladies, the symbolic idea was the same. :t Langh on Lord Kelvin. A good story is related of Lord Kel• vies' lecturing methods at the Glasgow university. As a professor of science he can use long words in such formidable array as would make a dictionary break its binding with horror. During a course of lectures once on magnetism, for instance, he defined an ideal mag- net as "an infinitely long, infinitely thin, uniform and uniformly and longi tudinally magnetized bar," and the misguided students vocifeorusly cheer- ed, which caused the professor to say, "Silence!" This definition was made and cheered, with the usual reprimand, frequently during the lectures. Once, near the conclusion, however, the stu- dents did not cheer, but Lord Kelvin, from force of habit, rapped out "Si- lence!" the same as before. A Cute Lad. A young Irishman once went to b kind hearted old squire for a recorn- mendation. An elaborate one was writ- ten and read to him. He took it with thanks but did not move. "What's the matter with it?" roared the squire. "Oh, nothin, sorr," said the lad quickly. "Well, then, why don't you go?" "Sure, sorr, I thought on the stringtb of a recommind like that you'd be wantin to hire me. "—San Francisco Argonaut. Sound Transmission. Water is a very good transmitter of sound. A scientist of the name of Cal- ladoa made some experiments on Laka Geneva, Switzerland, to demonstrate the power of sound to travel a long way in water. A clock was made to strike under the water and was heard to a distance of 12 miles. In a second ex- periment the striking of a clock was beard to a distance of 27 miles. A Triple Coincidence. .An almost incredible triple coinci- dence was noted in France a few year' ago. In 1894 the deputy for the Ar- dennes was M. Ferry; for Loir et Cher, M. Brisson, and for the Vosges, M. Hugo. In 1793, 101 years earlier, each district had been represented in aha chamber by a man of exactly the same name.—San Francisco Call. Not Her Style.

With the advent of summer one's first thought is that electric beating appliances are unseasonable, but a mo- ment's consideration will show that the hot weather is just the season when they prove most valuable, avoiding, as they do, the necessity of a range fire. Recent improvements in the manufac- ture of these appliances will result in a great cheapening of their cost, thus opening the way for greater populari- ty. In the new method, instead of utilizing a cesiatance coil of fine wire, embedded in an insulating enamel to generate the heat, the enamel is first applied to the surface to be heated, and then broad strips of so called metallic paint are applied. Owing to the ex- treme thinness of the layer of paint, which acts as a first class electric con- ductor, and which is noncorroding, the necessary resistance is easily obtained. This construction permits of the gen- eration of the heat just at the point where it is most desired and where it will most readily be transmitted to the Substance to be heated, thus effecting an economy in current. Most of the appliances made in this manner are provided with two metallic paint cir- cuits, so tha by means of contact caps and plugs they may be arranged singly, in series or in !Multiple, thns giving three degrees of heat..—Exchange. An Uncomfortable Superstition. A very uncomfortable superstition prevails in the Minieh province in Egypt. Whenever a pigeon house is to be made, the fellahin consider that the pottery used in its construction ,horrid be baked by the help of a human body. A pigeon house was to be erected recently at the village of Beni Somrook, in this province, and this necessary pre- liminary of its construction was not forgotten. A young child was first caught and in spite of its strnggles was put in an oven find burned alive While the pottery was baked with the aid of this human holocaust. Two men, one of thele a potter by tra;ie, have been arrested on suspicion of having taken part in this old custom. —Cairo Egyptian Gazetto Cape Horn's Letter Doz.

Some Interesting Stories of th Cranky Nature of the Staff, Whirl a Moss Blaster Sure. is au Contra dictory as a Nonan. TWO DANISH OFFICERS FOUGHT IT OUT WITH BROADSWORDS. e The Furious Conflict Took Paseo Be- fore an Audience In a Gymnasia,->, In Washington In a Building Which Adjoined the Pollee Station. "I have figured in quite a number of varied events during over a quarter of a century of active newspaper reper- torie] life," explained au old newspaper writer to a Star reporter. "but I never got in but one duel when it was to a finish, and In the instance I refer to it was to a finish, I assure you. I was only au onlooker, it is true, but I saw more than I wanted to see, and more than I would willingly again see. It` was nearly 20 years ago, but I have not forgotten it. "At the time there was a gymnasium on Louisiana avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets. The building ad- joining was the old central guardhouse, the police station. "One evening I was invited by a friend, who was a former newspaper man, but afterward a patent attorney, and who also acted as the resident Danish consul, to attend the gym- nasium to witness a sword combat, in which two of his friends were to take part. I was told that three or four others would be present, and the com- bat would be rather lively. I realized that part of it fully, to my complete satisfaction. "With the others, three newspaper writers, a couple of actors and a couple of sporting men, we got to the gym- nasium about 9 o'clock, but were told that the combat wot:ld not take place until the gymnasium classes had been dismissed, as it was desire' that the onlookers should be as few as possible. "None of us had any idea as to who the participants would be or the par- ticular reason for it, but we were told that it was desired that we should be present to see that everything was con- ducted properly. From this we inferred that there was a stake or something at issue, and we were to be the judges as well as referees, as it were. "At 10 o'clock two carriages arrived, in each of which was a single occupant, each having a sword, what is common- ly known as a broadsword, like that which men-of-war's men have. They had but little to say, and in a few min- utes they were properly attired In the gymnasium suits and announced that they were ready for the battle. "1 had seen some professional broad- sword combats and rather looked for some heavy work, but in less than a minute we all realized that there seem- ed to be more earnestness about the combat than was customary in meet- ings of professionals, it mattered not how large the stakes were. "The men wore the customary wire head covering, and it was well they did so, otherwise there would have been one or two heads scattered about on the floor, for the fight was fast and furious. At the expiration of ten min- utes these wasa halt a t called so that a terrible gash on the sword arm of one of the combatants could be bandaged by a sic' n drop- ped who convenientlyd P h • 3 - ped in. "Then the fighters started in hammer and tongs at each other, and in 12 min- utes one of the men was lying on the floor with a terrible gash in his shoul- der and a rap on his head which sound- ed so loud that it was heard in the po- lice station adjoining. The clothing of the men was as fully covered with blood as if they had been painted with it. "That ended it. Both men had re- ceived at least a dozen wounds, and the victor fell in a faint in less than a minute after he was declared the con- queror. My friend, on behalf of the participants, thanked us for our at- tendance, and we left after seeing the men lifted into carriages and taken away. "It was several weeks before we knew to a certainty what it all meant and were not told then until both men had fully recovered. It transpired that the participants were both Danish offi- cers; that they had quarreled in New York in regard to an official matter, and that a challenge passed and was accepted, and that all the details of the settlement had been left to the Danish consul, and that the whole party of us had innocently presided over a real duel. "The strange part of it was that it took place within sound of the police station."—Washington Star. "A cartridge of dynamite is pretty much like a woman --you can never tell what it is going to do next, because it doesn't kuow,itself." said a boss blast- er. "I have seen a powder salesman throw a cartridge of dynamite into the redhot fire box of a :20 horse boiler. and the stuff just burned like lard. Next day I saw a cart boy repeat the experiment with a blacksmith's forge and a pill of dynamite no larger than a pea—and there will be. a wholesome fear and soft coal in that boy as long as he lives. "I have seen a case of 100 sticks of dynamite fall 800 feet down a shaft and never wink, and I've seen an In- dian drop a half cartridge from his hand to his .boot and not a grease spot did the poor fellow leave behind. At that the poor fellow deserved a better fate, for he made a desperate fight for it before he scattered. "He was loading a block hole at the time and had just broken a cartridge in half when he dropped one of the pieces. Before it could touch the ground he sort of half caught it, and then began a desperate brief .juggling act. Again and again he half caught the deadly thing. Ther lie missed it. He made one last effort and stuck out his foot to break the fall against the hard ground, but it didn't work. There was a bang, and it was lucky no one stood near hint. Which shows that dynamite is like a woman, because in my time I have dropped similarly hun- dreds of cartridges of dynamite, and still I am here and with a good di- gestion. . . "But It is in winter, when dynamite freezes, that it is most capricious. Then if you Want it to go oft' it simply refuses, or burns with a dull roar, likea boiler blowing off steam. It is in thawing dynamite that most of the accidents happen about which you read. There are two ways of thawing dynamite—one by placing the car- tridges on a steam boiler or within safe distance of a fire; the other by immers- ing them in pails of hot water. As the latter method draws out considerable of the nitroglycerin from the. car- tridges, and therefore weakens them, it le -often discarded in favor of the more risky thawing by an open fire. "I once saw an experienced powder man thaw a dozen cartridges by an open fire, though, as the sequel will show, he completely lost Ills head when suddenly confronted with an un- usual emergency. -Ile had placed the cartridges within a foot of an open wood fire and had seated himself near by to await developments when one of the cartridges caught tire. "Had he left it to burn itself out the chancesr� a c a thou. -and to one that nothing very startling would have hap- pened, for it is concussion and not fire that explodes clyuaulite. Instead, he rushed forward, picked up the burning stick by one end, and holding it up- ward like a candle began to blow and blow until he WAS black in the face. He never let •go until the flame began to nip his fingers, and then in his ex- citement he threw the cartridge to the ground and began to stamp and grind on it with his heels as if he were kill- ing a snake; and, by thunder! he stamped out the btlrning cartridge and Iived to tell about it! The cart boys called hint `Angel' after that, because by rights he ought to be an angel now. "One day a professor from Stevens Institute of Technology' came to the quarry and asked me to perform a certain experiment for him. We printed with dynamite direct from a newspaper on to a block of iron. The professor said the experiment proved most interesting, as he had discovered among other things that dynamite works downward ai.d not upward, like black powder. Our way of proving that in a quarry is to lay a stick of dynamite on top of a bowlder. After the shot the bowlder is smashed to bits. "But the professor had his own no- tions. He carried three round blocks of iron six inches in diameter and three inches thick. Then he took a newspaper from his pocket and spread one sheet over the face of the block. I placed half a stick of dynamite on top and covered it with a little heap of sand and touched her off. You would hardly - believe the result, but you can see the block on exhibition in a glass case in the Stevens Institute library, and you can read on it dis- tinctly—of course, the type appears backward—the printing of that part of the paper which covered the block at the time of the explosion. "But the professor had another wrinkle up his sleeve. He picked an ordinary oak leaf and spread it over the face of a second block. 1 prepar- ed a charge similar to the first, and this time the ribs of the leaf and even its outlines appeared distinctly press- ed into the iron surface. According to the professor, the action of the dy- namite was so quick that the ribs of the leaf had not time to burst apart before they were impressed on the Iron. In the case of the newspaper the printed letters were harder than the surrounding white of the paper, therefore the impression. "The professor's third block is not on exhibition for the reason that we never found a piece of it larger than a clove --and that reminds me, what do you say?" The reporter said "Yes."—Chi- cago Inter Ocean. Cause and Effect. Several years ago the inmates of a small, respectable dwelling house in Philadelphia discovered upon the white- washed wall of one of the rooms the likeness of a human face, which faded and returned again. The neighbors came in to view the wonder. Other faces appeared and vanished. Crowds thronged the house and street, and ac- counts of the mystery were printed in the daily- papers. It was to no purpose that scientific men insisted that the figures were caused by moldy growths which came and went with the dampness and that the likeness to the human face was imaginary. The house was pronounced by the public to be haunted, and the owner was unable to find a tenant for it for years. Literally, A Chicago woman had her husband and her pug dog cremated and the ashes placed in the same urn, and the esteemed editor of the Lost Creek Lyre regards the transaction as "a dog- gone burning shame."—Denver Post.

That burglars of the more advanced type can and do use chloroform Iu the commission of their crimes is a belief widely held and rarely contradicted, and yet there is, curiously, little foun- dation for it. Indeed, those who are most farelliar with the administration and effects of anaesthetics assert that there is no foundation at all for it ex- cept in the imagination of sensational writers and in the needs of people whose losses cannot safely be explain- ed by statements of fact. The ques- tion has been raised recently by sev- eral robberies in which chloroform i? said to have been employed, and opin- ions of the experts are strongly against the possibility of such use. One of the physicians interviewed is quoted as saying: "As far as known chloroform and ether have never taken effect on a healthy sleeping person without that person knowing it. Both of these anaesthetics are at first stimulating and invigorating in their effect and will arouse a sleeping person. The en- tire system Is excited, and the heart beats violently and fast. The use of either chloroform or ether or any oth- er anaesthetic by burglars is absurd. It frequently q y takes physicians with their various appliances from 10 to 15 minutes to put a person under the in fluence ofith e er of thesen a aesthetics. and often a patient will become : _, stimulated and active before the ef- fect is secured that it requires several strong men to hold him." The idea that the mere introduction of chloroform Into a room would cause unconsciousness was derided as ab- surd. Even if doors and windows were air tight it would take several gallons of either anaesthetic to so fill a room with the heavy fumes as to af- fect a sleeper on a bed of average height. And the tirst effect would be. not deep sleep, but excited wakeful- ness. The chances are, then, that when anybody claims to have been chloroformed by burglars there 1. something queer about the case.—New York Times. CAMEL'S HAIR BRUSHES. The Term a Misnomer Now, For Squirrels Furnish the Hair. The camel's hair brush used by art- ists has nothing of bactria in it. There was a time when real camel's hair was used for this purpose. The ship o' the desert, however, has long been su- perseded by the comely squirrel. Not only is squirrel's hair very much less costly, but it is better, softer, more pliable and more durable. At the pres- ent day it is doubtful 1f you could find a bushel of camel's hair in all the brush factories in the land. However. there is no cause for fear that the graceful little squirrel will be extermi- nated. It is the European squirrel that furnishes the hair for the brushes, the covering of the American squirrel be- ing too furry and soft for the purpose. It is somewhat the same way with the coarser brushes.. The bristles most prized come from Russia and India, and the wild hogs of Germany furnish their quota. The great American bog runs to fat and puts forth practically no bristles. In the countries above mentioned the collecting of bristles is quite an important industry among the peasantry of certain districts. In com- paratively few cases are they strip- ped from the dead body of the bog. The usual method is to discover the haunts of the animals and to gather the bristles from the trees against which they rub themselves.—New York Sun. How Well They Know nil A correspondent of a Paris paper, writing from Manila and describing our army, says the volunteer regiments are named "for the provinces in which they are raised." He enumerates the "Tennessee -Texas" and the "Vancou- ver -Washington" regiments as illustra- tions. Hopeless Credulity. "The gross superstition one occasion- ally encounters among fairly intelli- gent people is very disheartening," la- Mented a physician. "Some time ago I was called in by an upper class me- chanic, a man who earns $6 a day. I found him in a state of alarming nerv- ous depression, and he complained of agonizing neuralgia in the head. I questioned him sharply, and he finally informed me that he had been 'con- jured' by old negro servant whom he had disarged. it seems he had found a small red flannel bag full of dough hidden under his mattress, rec- ognized it as a voodoo 'charm' and had never been well since. He told me this in an awestruck whisper, and I made no effort to conceal my disgust. I told him he ought to be ashamed of himself for allowing an ignorant darky to play on his 'imagination, but I could see plainly that he was unconvinced. Fi- nally I gave him some simple treat- ment, and in a few days he was all right. But what sickened me was the dense, hopeless credulity of"— "By the way, doctor," interrupted a listener, "what was it that you gave the man yourself?" - "Oh, merely some bread pills," re- plied the physician.

The brassy, measly peddler who stands at the street corner selling bass ' shirt studs for 5 cents apiece and shouting that he "guarantees" them to be gold catches many a wandering fool. The "guarantee" is given by a man who never expects to see his cus- tomers again, and the customers never expect to trade with him a second time. But the word "guarantee" car- ries weight with it, and the fool and his money, now as ever, are soon parted. Every day's marl brings me letters of Inquiry regarding the stability of a set of Wail street sharks who offer to "guarantee" profits ranging from 10 to 100 per cent per month to all who will give up their good money and trust the sharpers to invest it in the maelstrom of speculation. Scarcely a week passes without the report in the newspapers of the exposure, the flight or arrest of one of these sharks. But the rage of fools seems to be eternal, and 11 appears to be only nec- essary for the Wall street bunko man to take a new name and to hire desk - room in Wall street or one of its laterals to reap a new crop from a new line of customers.—Leslie's Weekly. Lovely Little Pug Noses. They are distributing an advertise- ment in Germany that runs thus: "A studio for improving the human face. "This studio is highly recommended to ladies and gentlemen who wish to possess faces in the present fashion. "This is the best house in the world for improving and changing the color of the eyes, which can be rendered flashing and bright. deep as the sea or full of laughter. "This house must not be thought to have anything to do with any other es- tablishment. It possesses vast labors- ' tortes, and over 1,200_ apparatuses are in use to change and Improve the fea- tures.

A Lively Barrel. An actor tells of -a tragic experience he had while playing In a little town in southern Texas. In one of the scenes of the play, in which he acts the vil- lain, he hides himself in a barrel, that he may listen to a conversation be- tween the hero and heroine, whose fu- ture well being he Is trying to destroy. In the town hall there was little if any "property" material. A barrel would do to conceal himself in, so a "hired hand" was sent out to find one. He succeeded. The time came for the actor to do his part. He slipped in the barrel with ease. The man and the woman ap- peared, and while they were in the midst of an animated conversation there came a howl from the barrel that fairly shook the rafters. This was fol- lowed by the eavesdropper crawling out with his hands to his face, and he in turn was followed by a swarm of wasps. The wasps got among the stage people and those in the audience, which created so much confusion that the show was broken up. Galveston News. Exhausting R tipn. "What's a holiday, Uncle Jim?" "It's a day when you work so hard to enjoy yourself that you cany, real work for the next three can't4do ay`s:" — Chicago Record. A Fish Mystery. One strange feature of this sea life of the tropics is the regular recurrence of migratory swarms, of fish of very small size that return in huge numbers year after year with such absolute regular- ity that the natives calculate on the event on a certain day in each year and even within an hour or two of the day. One such swarm of fish forms the occasion of an annual holiday and feast at Samoa. The fish is not unlike the whitebait for which the. English Thames has so long been celebrated, and each year it arrives at Samoa on the same day in the month of October, remains for a day, or at the most two days, and then disappears entirely till the same day of the following year. Why it comes or whence no curious naturalist has yet discovered, nor has anybody traced its onward course when it leaves the Samoan group, but the fact is unquestionable that sucEen- ly, without notice, the still waters of the lagoon which surround each island within the fringing reef become alive with millions of fishes, passing through them for a single day and night and then disappearing for a year as though they had never come.—Lippincott's. Chicago Modesty. "Chicago beats the world," announc- ed the tall, slim traveling man after he had taken a late lunch in the hotel cafe. "It claims everything and con- cedes nothing. A novice would be made to think over there that Chicago exploited the universe, stocked it, wa- tered the stock, issued half a dozen series of bonds and ran it ever since. "What do you think I went up against in that town last winter-? 1 was coming out of one of the theaters when a cadaverous looking genius with ten inch hair asked me if I was a law- yer. I humored him to learuawhat his game was. 'Well, sir,' he continued, 'you have a chance to make a fortune. You have seen this play, strong on the stage and strong in the box once. It's superb, yet it's a bald faced, unmiti- gated, cold blooded plagiarism. I wrote it, every word of it. Not a situation, climax or sentence is changed.

Some find this earth a first rate place to slave and stint and save And life's chief pleasure to consist in being glum and grave, And others with a twinkle in the hand and heart and eye Will stake their lives that they can spend more than they can find laid by. Some take a drink when they are dry and same when they are wet; Some drink for sweet remembrance sake, sem- that they may forget, And some there be, like you and me, tree from all sham accura'd, Who have laid down a rule for lite—never to get athirst. Some turn to this, some turn to that, for fortune and for lame, And some won't turn for anything and get there just the same. But there's a common turning point, a fate, un- kind but just, Where rich and poor and great and small turn one and all to dust. —Galveston News. TALKING SHOP. A Sentiment Concerning Which There Is Considerable Humbug. "If there 1s one tiling that makes me a Little wearier than another," said an amateur cynic, "It is to hear a man boast that he 'never talks shop.' 1 met a fairly eminent actor at a little gath- ering not long ago, and when some pleasant reference was made he drew himself up and said, `You will pardon me, I am sure, but, really, I make It a rule never to talk shop.' That remark convinced two or three thick headed hearers that he was singular'y free from vanity, but it conviuced the rest of us that he was a double dyed don- key and a poseur of the purest ray serene. "Every right minded man likes to talk shop and does so whenever he gets a chance. It Is that which makes class clubs almost invariably a suc- cess. The members are all Interested in the same thing andcan talk sliop ad lib. without getting called downy One of the redeeming features of matri- mony is the fact that a man secures a helpless victim to whom be can talk shop every day of the year. "When a chap is traveling as in a strange city, what a joy it is to bump up against somebody In one's same line of business! It is like meeting a long lost brother! I have often thought that the chief objection to being a hangman is that there are so few per- sons with whom a fellow could chat about the craft. "And yet it has grown to be a fash- ion among people of eminence in all the professions to affect a reluctance to discuss the precise thing in which each is most interested. They don't like to talk shop! l'augh! Nobody has any right to make such an asser- tion except a burglar in a police sta- tion!"—New Orleans Times -Democrat. He Saw the Point. A former attorney general of the United States, in a recent article, tells the following anecdotes of Mr. Justice hillier of the federal supreme court: Judge Miller was a very agreeable man socially, but in the later years of his life became somewhat impatient upon the bench. He was no orator him- self and seemed to have an aversion to all attempts at oratory in court. I have seen him on more than one occasion disjoint with sharp questions a beauti- fully prepared speech with which an ambitious orator expected to charm and captivate the court. One midsum- mer day, as it is said, he was holding court in a western state, and a lawyer, whom we will call Brown, was ad- dressing him in a long, rambling speech. The judge listened and fanned himself and fidgeted about on the bench for some time, and, finally, lean- ing over his desk, said In an audible whisper, "Confound it Brown, come to the point." "What point?" inquired the some- what astonished lawyer. "Any point," responded the judge; and, though the sequel does not appear, it is probable that there was a rapid condensation of talk in that courtroom after this short colloquy. The Camel's Eye. The Nile is essentially a river of si- lence and mystery. Even the camels turn their beautiful soft eyes upon you as if you were intruding upon their si- lence and reserve. Never were the eyes in a human head so beautiful as a camel's. There is a limpid softness, an appealing plaintiveness in their expres- sion which drag at your sympathies like the look in the eyes of a hunch- back.

Odd bits of change thoughtlessly left by customers form no inconsiderable part of the income of cashiers in res- taurants, saloons, cigar stores and sim- ilar places where, during many hours of each day, there is a steady rush of patrons. "I get $15 a week salary," said a cashier, " and I always count on an ad- ditional $3, or 50 cents per day, through forgotten change. I do not consider that I am doing anything dishonest, either because I always make an effort to attract the customer's attention to the fact that he is leaving his change behind.

When the Prince and Princess henry of Prussia visited Shanghai, they met a notable mandarin, one of whose first questions to the prince—this being an invariable matter of Chinese politeness —was: "How old are you?" "A little more than 36," answered the prince, smiling. "Indeed!" said the mandarin. "Your highness appears 50." The mandarin then turned to the In- terpreter—Herr Voight, a German— and inquired the princess' age. She answered, "Thirty-two." The inter- preter interpreted, and the mandarin made a remark in Chinese evidently in- tended to be complimentary. The in- terpreter blushed uneasily and hesitat- ed to translate the remark. The prince saw the difficulty and laughingly com- manded: "Out with it, Voight!" "He says," the interpreter then trans- lated to the princess, "that your high- ness ih-ness looks like 00!" He had meant it well, and of course the princess had sense enough not to take it ill. Should Women Smoke? I have no earthly objection to women smoking; only, 1f they do smoke, they should smoke seriously. Most of them just fool a little with a cigarette. Now. that scarcely amounts to smoking at all. If they really mean it, let them take to cigars and pipes. I know a dignified old lady, a Polish countess—what Is her name? Countesa? Countess?—oh, well, Thingamojisky— it ends in 'laky; anyhow—and I respect that woman. She genuinely smokes, and no mistake about it. There is no playing there. She looks on it as a sacred duty. She has a long pipe with a wooden stem and the bark on, and a fine big bowl—a regular man's pipe. When she was visiting me, she just loaded up and smoked, and loaded up and smoked, and loaded up and smoked again. She meant business. I know another lady who has a long Turkish pipe, and she, too, means busi- ness. If women are ever to be genuine smokers, that is the way they must go to work.—Mark Twain. The Good Old Quill. The art of cutting a quill by adept "quill drivers" was dying when I be- gan schooling. Steel pens had been known for some time, but were not in general use. The goose quill pen died a hard death as a commonly used writ- ing tool. My first schoolmaster was a first rate hand at cutting a quW, and he could use it with wonderful effect in flourishes. It was his boast that he could fill the first page of a lad's schoolbook with name, age, date and flourishes—in which were depicted wonderful swans and other birds—in such a fashion that none but experts like himself could tell where the quill pen was taken from the paper for a fresh dip. My last master could nei- ther cut a quill nor use one with ad- vantage. Quills as pens remained in use in some houses as the only writing tool up to a dozen to 20 years ago.— Notes and Queries.

The Sumner School. The teachers' training school for Dakota County, which began in this city July 10th, will close to -day. It has been well attended and good work has been done. The instruction has been of two kinds, the common branches and review exercises in the high school. It is believed that the work accomplished will be directly helpful in improving the instruction throughout the county, as well as pre- paring the teachers for the coming state examinations. The schools of the county are to be congratulated upon the earnestness with which the teachers have availed themselves of their opportunity. The instructors and the teachers in attend- ance are well pleased with the result of their four weeks' labor. A. C. Clausen, chief inspector of grain. has resigned, owing to the governor's disapproval of his recent re -appointment. He has been con- nected with the department for fifteen years, and is undoubtedly the best qualified man in the state for that position. His successor is E. S. Reishus, of Cottonwood. Minnesota Journalism. The Redwood Reveille has been en- larged to a seven column quarto. The annual number of The St. Paul Trade Journal is a highly creditable showing for the live business men of the capital city. A. A. Hansen, of Minneapolis, has broken the one thousand miles cycle record of the world, his time being ninety-two hours and forty-four min- utes. His actual running time was about seventy-three hours. S. A. Lauguw, of The Preston Times, anuousces that he will "be a candidate for secretary of state before the next republican convention." He would snake an efficient and capa- ble otlicer. It is given out that the completed portion of the federal building in St. Paul will be ready for occupancy - next spring. The contracts for the extension are to be let early in Sep- tember. ep- tember. E. S. Reishus. of Cottonwood, has been selected as chief grain inspector to succeed A. C. Clausen. at the in- stance of Gov. Lind. The appoint- ment is purely a political one. A government report gives the production. of iron ore in Minnesota for 1898 -at nearly- six millions tons, an amount only exceeded by one state,..that of Michigan. The bids for coal at public institu- tions in St. Paul average a third higher than last year's prices, father an ominous prospect for the coming winter. Nine hundred anis thirty-four land patents were issued by the state audi- tor during the past fiscal year, aggre- gating nearly eighty-eight thousand acres.

Albert Berg, secretary of state, and Mrs. Lillian Daly were married in St. Paul on Thursday. That the parole system in vogue at the prison in this city has been sue-' cessfully operated during the past seven years is demonstrated by the large number of paroles and the hun- dreds of young men who have been reclaimed from lives of crime. In all three hundred and sixty-eight pa- roles have been granted, and there have been only thirty violations. Of this number all but four have been returned to prison to serve the re- mainder of their terms, and Warden Wolfer hopes to be able to land the other four. -Stillwater Journal. The prison binder twine factory has caught up on all orders for twine booked some time ago, and Warden Wolfer announces that from this date until harvest is over orders will be taken for all the twine the factory can furnish. Many farmers through- out Washington County are now se- curing a needed supply of twine, and many orders are also being received from points in the northern part of the state where the harvest is from a week to ten days later than in this locality. -Stillwater Journal.

"They are doing excellent work said State Superintendent Lewis, 1 turning yesterday from a visit to t summer schools. He had seen t instruction at St. Cloud, Buffal Anoka, Faribault, and Hasting "Leader's and students are worki hard to go to the bottom of thing The -attendance is somewhat small than last year, but the grade is hig er. I did not see any , high scho pupils working to make up condition The students are all teachers fc whom the summer schools were i tended and there is no diversion energy for others. "One reason for the decreased a tendance is that county superinte dents have sometimes, to secure large enrollment, given promises th any one who took the summer schot course would be entitled to a tenet er's certificate, perhaps a first gra( certificate. Since the county supe iutendents have no longer the autho ity to issue certificates, that induc ment is withdrawn. The student are all there for serious purposes. "The ornamental courses have bee abandoned. The classes in dillettat te subjects simply did not fill. Th pupils are devoting themselves t hard work in arithmetic, gra►nmat history, geography, and drawing They are mainly doing "academi work, reviving the common branche that they had not the opportunity t take up from an advanced standpoin n their previous course. "Of course, the foundation varies In one county where Were is no hig chool, most of the pupils are countr chool teachers, who graduated froi he common schools and have bee imping along the best they could n another school they are mostl igh school graduates, supplementin heir high school work. In stil nother school the teachers are td eady well qualified and come to fresh n their stock of learning. "There is little formal pedagogica nstruction this summer. tl'hereve t is possible model classes have been rganized from children of the neigh orhood who have never been tc chool. The model teacher gives hem their first instruction and tiler xplains to the pupil teachers wlty Itch step was taken. "But for the most part it is not ethod so much as knowledge that is anted. When a teacher does not et satisfactory results she is apt to hink it is a fault in method. Usual- ' it is because site does not know hat to teach, rather than because le does not know how to teach it. f she has a grasp on tyle subject and as teaching instincts she will find a ay. The scholars in the sunlnlcr hools seem to appreciate that and 'e buckling down to the fundamen- Is of the studies they have to teach. "From . this year's experience 1 all work next year to put the sinn- er schools OD a more permanent asis. I would like where a group of achers has proved a strong team to nd them to the same county next ar and carry out a definite three ars' course. Their personal in - 'once would have most effect then. hen the country teachers had fol wed the course three years they ould not need to attend further. ut there is a new crop of teachers in ree years anyway."

Teachers' examinations will be Id the first of next week, and shout ree thousand and five hundred ckages of questions and blanks are he sent this week to the county perintendents.

Those on a 1 e a w Base Ball, The game between the Gluek Brew- ing Cotnpany's team and the Hast- ings nine at the fair grounds last Sun- day afternoon was one of the most interesting of the season. Hastings redeemed herself by defeating Minne- apolis in a score of fourteen to six, the previous game being five to one on the wrong side of the ledger. The visiting team, however, started in to carry off the laurels, but were sadly disappointed after the second inning. The leading features were the excel- lent work of our battery and the heavy hitting, a home run being scor- ed in the eighth inning by Fred Carisch. The Minneapolis pitcher was driven to the woods by the hard pounding of our boys. The visitors had two imported players from Anoka, but were an easy mark not- withstanding.

The young man was twenty-six years old, and with his wife antl•two children made their home with the old folks. He was quite dissipated, and corning home drunk was taken to task by his father, re- taliating with blows. In self defense the old roan struck his son with a hoe, indicting a slight wound between_ the thumb and finger. No attention was given the injury until too late, and lockjaw set in with no hope of re- coVcry. Mfr.

The evidence in the case brought forth the facts that Gaffey subscribed and paid for The Review for one year, and that he continued to accept it after his subscription had expired. Later he changed his ad- dress without notifying the publisher, and claimed not to have received the paper. This, the court held, was through no fault of the publishers, who received a judgment for the amount due and costs. -St. Paul Dis- patch. 8100 Reward 8100.

It is commonly supposed that when the tidings of the death of William IV were conveyed to Queen Victoria she received the archbishop of Canterbury and those with him in her nightgown, but the ridiculous nightgown story can easily be exploded. The mistake orig- inated in one of Disrael's novels. As a matter of fact, during the Last century the garment now known an dressing gown was called a nightgown, and we read of elderly ladies and gentlemen walking in their gardens before break- fast in their nightgows. It was really a dressing gown which the princess donned before receiving the arch- bishop, and It was a pretty one, made of white cambric, over which her maid threw a shawl. The archbishop was accompanied by the Marquis of Conyingham and Sir Henry Raiford, and the difficulty they experienced in getting admission to the castle has been likened to the scene in "Macbeth," where the sleepy and ungracious porter has been aroused from his slumbers. It was a long time before the porter would answer the clamorous summons, though the arch- bishop pealed at the bell, while the marquis plied the knocker. -Dublin In- dependent, A Mad Monarch's Freak. "At the time the malady of Ludwig II, the mad king of Bavaria, was at its worst he gave orders that 30 of his finest horses should be put in the best condition possible for a race," writes Professor J. H. Gore in The Ladies' Home Journal. "When the report came that no further improvement could be made, he had them brought into an open field where every conceiv- able form of noise making device had been stationed. "The horses were tied to posts, and the king from an elevated stand gave the signal that started the flare of trumpets, the booming of cannon, the firing of bombs and other outlandish noises. The horses reared, plunged, struggled to get free, and finally break- ing loose started in the wildest of gal- lops from this bedlam. But toward whatever corner of the field they fled they were stopped by noises Just as terrifying and sent to another quarter to be frightened again and again. "When the horses became too tired to run well, the king found the specta- cle uninteresting and ordered the orgy to cease. By this cruel freak the royal stables lost a number of their most valuable animals." Shocked the Chief Justice. Lord Russell of Killowen, the chief justice of England, was up in London for a few days last long vacation, and having nothing to do after the morn- ing accepted a friend's invitation to lunch at his club. After luncheon a scratch rubber was with difficulty got together, very few members being in the town. The fourth man, a young subaltern in the guards, only joined after mentioning that he played a very poor rubber. Unfortunately the chief cut him as partner, several times in succession. At first he only fidgeted a little and made one or two mild in- quiries. But alter something extra diabolical his lordship broke out with, "I really think, sir, you are playing badly on purpose to annoy me." "Oh, shut up!" said the soldier. "How can any fellow play when you keep jawing at him?" Lord Russell, with quiet dignity, observed, "I don't think you know to whom you are speaking, sir." "Oh, yes, I do," said the warrior. "You are the lord chief justice, but you're not in your blooming police court now." Tableau. A Startling Answer. A Latin professor was explaining the derivation of our word "ostracize" to his class in a local academy. He told the story of the early Roman republics and the scheming of the politicians of the times. He related how, when any man in the republic became obnoxious to his neighbors, they used to write his name on an oyster shell (Latin-ostre- um, shell), and on the receipt of a specified number by the consuls that man was banished, killed or otherwise removed in some one of those pleasant ways the old Romans had. When he had finished his explanation, he said: "Now, the boy here in the front seat, what did we derive from the old Latin use of the shell, which was called os- treum ?" The answer he expected was far from what he got, for the little student with spectacles in the front seat arose and delivered himself thus: "From the Roman habit of using shells to get the best of people, we de- rive the present Coney Island shell game, Which is a fascinating and,cost- Iv snort," -Br ooklsu Times.

Being a Complication In a A. Love Affair Which Was p X Very Embarrassing. et j►o,lto9so4oisoVioIsoisoUolsodoIsoas "Say, isn't this sad about poor Brainerd'." said Bog Cobb, meeting me in the hall at the Fishers' the night they gave a fancy dress party. Both Cobb and I had been dancing. and had just left our partners to be re- freshed in the supper room at the back, where there was no room for gal- lants to stand behind chairs. "How do you mean, sad?" I asked. "He seems well enough. In fact, I was thinking just now that he had much more color in his face than he used to before he started for Colorado. Got back this afternoon, didn't he?" "Yes. But have you talked to him?" "Only a passing word," I said. "Why?" "Why? Why, because it's a clear case of paresis," said Cobb, speaking in a grave undertone. "And the symptoms?" "Symptoms enough. He's forgotten everybody's name—almost. I'm aw- fully sorry for poor Jennie Fisher, I must say." "But," I said, "Brainerd's been away from here quite two months, hasn't be? Well, and he's been having a busy time out there. I don't see any- thing so wonderful in his forgetting a few names. Remember, he hasn't lived here all his life, as you have." ".Nonsense, man," Cobb insisted. "You haven't talked to him. Do you suppose a man in ills senses could for- get the name of the girl he's engaged tt?" "Did he forget Jennie Fisher's name?" "Mixed her up with her cousin Elsie," said Cobb. "Arid you know those two girls are not a bit alike." This certainly did seem conclusive. As I had always liked Jack Brainerd, ever since hP on DIP to Hun nn`1 to nenko money in our city, five years before, it troubled me a good deal to think that anything so sad as mental aberration should come upon him so early in life. He was not 30, I felt sure. And, then, Jennie Fisher, the girl to whom he was supposed to be engaged, the daughter of our hostess that evening, was as sweet a girl as any in our community, and that is saying much. It would be a terrible stroke of ill luck if her life should be blasted by this affliction, all the more so at this time, when she must have been looking forward with the keenest delight to her fiance's return. While I stood thinking sadly over what Cobb had been telling me—he had left me to go back to the supper room -Mrs. Fisher, in gray silk and jet, came sweeping through the double doors of the room where we had been dancing. "I want to talk to you," she said. "The others are eating and drinking. Come in here." We went back to the dressing room and sat between a grand piano and a big palm that stood in the bay window. "Now tell me," she went on. "What have you noticed about Mr. Brainerd?" "This evening?" "Yes. Or any time since his return from Colorado." "But he only reached this city at 4 this afternoon, as I understand." "And you had not seen anything of him until you came here?" "No," I said. "And since then I have only noticed that he looks rather the better for his trip." "Rather more than a trip, wasn't it? Two months? But how better?" "Well," I said, "stronger—better com- plexion—and then there's a swing and a way of carrying his shoulders, as if he'd been drilling out there. Perhaps it's just western 'breeziness.' " "H'm," she said. "That's all, is It?" "Nothing more than that. I haven't laid more than a passing word to him." i6Oh, you haven't talked to him, then? Did he know you?" ";'I think he did. Why?" "Did he know you?" "He seemed to. Come to think of it, he didn't call me by name. But why do you ask?" "Simply because he seems to be ei- ther crazy—or intoxicated—to me." "Impossible," I said. "Brainerd doesn't drink, you know, Mrs. Fisher. And as for crazy"— "Well," she interrupted me impa- tiently, "he seems to have forgotten poor Jennie or forgotten that they were engaged. He bas attached him- self all the evening to Elsie." I tried to smile at Mrs. Fisher's anx- ieties and talked commonplaces of phi- losophy to her, telling her that these little eccentricities of lovers should not be dwelt upon too seriously. "If you I Spoke—he walked iii from the room with Elsie—not Jennie—FI his arm. Elsie had a preoccupi (en her face—in fact, I may say, barrassed look.

Didn't you s swallow all that Boman punch a ute ago? She—Mr. Brainerd, if you're tipsy, you ought to be asham yourself— He—How? Do you think a ought to be tipsy on one tumbl Roman punch? She—I mean, if you are in senses, what can have made you my cousin Jennie as you have? He (evidently startled)—Your e Jennie?

We heard ;• —or I did, if fisher did not ;•r to himsel "I've gone and i,eude a botch of cess." Then he laughed to himself. In another minute we saw him lowly out into the hall, pulling at ustache.

The meebanical engineer, and spe- cially the mining engineer, says The Scientific American, is often in need of a hydraulic press for the purpose of testing materials for making briquettes or for similar purposes. Our engraving shows a very simple hydraulic press which can be made by any one who has a hydraulic Jack. Two wrought iron plates 12 inches square and 2 NEW HYDRAULIC P0588. Inches thick are bored to receive up- right rods, one at each corner. These rods may be of any desired length up to five feet and should be about two inches in diameter. The height should be regulated by the size of the jack and the class of work which is to be accomplished with the aid of the press. By the use of blocks of wrought iron or steel it is possible to regulate with great ease ;the distance through which the pressure is exerted. The hydraulic jack may be provided with a gage which indicates pressures varying from 2.000 to 4,000 pounds to the square inch. It would be possible to make the top and bottom plates of cast iron, provided they were re -enforced by diagonal ribs. From San Diego to Japan. William E. Curtis writes from San Diego, Cal., to the Chicago Record: Last winter the Santa Fe Railroad company established a steamship line to Japan, with the eastern terminus at San Diego. There is an admirable har- bor here, with plenty of water, an easy approach and perfect protection. It is seldom that nature has provided everything necessary for the accommo- dation of commerce in such a thorough and complete manner, and all that was left for the company to do las to erect a commodious dock, warehouses and other facilities for storing and han- dling freight. That has been done in a most satisfactory manner, and cargoes can now be sent between the wharf here and the city of Chicago over the same railroad with only one handling. Three steamers have already sailed from San Diego to Japan. They car- ried to the ports of China and Japan 776 tons of wire from Cleveland, 5,050 kegs of nails from Cleveland, 50 boxes of carbons from Cleveland, 2,100 barrels of beef from Chicago, 387 pack- ages or faun nlacnluery rrom Miiwau- kee, 2,250 barrels of beer from Si Louis, 4,612 barrels of beer from Mil- waukee, 350 tons of flour from Califor- nia and 15,522 bales of cotton from Texas. Pe Delicate Heat Measurement. or A new calorimetric machine. said to g be the finest of its kind in the world, a has been received by the geological d survey at the Johns Hopkins univer- e sity. It is a contrivance for finding the relative quantity of beat in different t qualities of coal. The testing apparatus n consists essentially of a bomb, or heavy e, shell, about the size of a large orange, 1- in which a small platinum crucible is a suspended by a small wire and a jack- eted tank of water. A gram of coal 1. dust is compressed into a cake and t placed In the platinum crucible, which, r after receiving 375 pounds of oxygen and being rendered airtight by a screw a cap, is immersed in the tank. By an electric spark the oxygen is ignited with the coal, and the increase of tem- perature in the water, caused by the consumption of the coal, is accurately measured by two delicate thermome- 8 ters. The bomb Is made of aluminium - bronze, weighs about two pounds and s is coated on the inside with 20 coats of gold plating.—Baltimore Sun. • Mysterions Brain Gland. Very recently it has been discovered that there is connected with the brain a small gland called the infundibula gland, which apparently supplies a chemical substance to the brain, there to be diffused through the brain cav- ities. It is thought that this brain substance 18 indispensable to the health of the brain, and there is promise that the study of this gland In animals and man will enable physicians to under- stand and treat certain diseases of the brain which are now very obscure.— Boston Transcript. Seareh For Platinum. Platinum is scarce. A $4,000,000 Franco-Russian company has been or- ganized to develop rich platinum de- posits in Russia. Natural Gas Fields Exhausted. Men regarded as experts in the mat- ter of natural gas have contended that exhausted gas territory would, after a long rest, yield the fuel again in pay- ing quantities. This theory has receiv- ed a setback by a test at Kokomo, Ind. No gas wells have been drilled in KO- komo for eight years, and this field has been looked upon as a fair test of the theory of revivification. Two weeks ago a manufacturer of that city began drilling a well, he having faith that In the long interval of rest gas had again Lccumulated in the gas rock stratum. The well was finished a week or so ago, and, to the great disappointment of the drillers and all concerned, not a vestige of gas was found. The flood of salt water that rushed up from the hole did not even bring with it the slightest smell of gas. --Manufacturer. Cleaning Streets by Hand. The street cleaning of Denver will soon be done without the assistance of the six sweeping machines now in use. The sweepers will be retired, add the work will thereafter be done by men and brooms. The cleaning of the street will begin in the afternoon, and little work on them will be done after night- fall. The force will be uniformed in white. It is believed that this method will not only employ many more idle men, but will be as cheap as operating the big machines, to say nothing of the decrease of flying dust --Denver News. Normal Old Age. The general tendency is for men to live longer. There is much evidence to show that In the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries men of 70 were considered very aged, and that a man of 80 was a very rare phenomenon. If medical science, sanitation and general obedience to the laws of health con- tinue to improve, the gauge of nisi age may yet rise to 100.—Boston Poet. Locking Up at Gibraltar. Perhaps the favorite sight of Gibral- tar is the dally prtn ession at sundown for the locking of the town gates. The keeper of the keys, looking very like a prisoner despite his uniform, marches through the town in the center of a military guard, preceded by a regi- mental band, which plays inspiring and familiar tunes. The keys, of enor- mous size, are borne aloft before him as an outward and visible emblem of the vigilance of Brltaiu in guarding her prime military treasure. On arriving at the gates the guard salutes, the martial strains strike up with a redoubled paean of triumph, while thet doors slowly swing to and are:so1anly locked for the night. Then right about turn, and the pro- cession marches back to the convent to deposit the keys in the governor's keep- ing, conveying by its passage an assur- ance to the people and garrison that they may rest in peace. Once the gates are shut, it were eas- ter for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for any unauthorized person to go Into Gibraltar, Even a be- lated officer returning from pig stick- ing beyond the lines would be eon - fronted -by so many formalities and the necessity of inconveniencing so many high personages that he would prob- ably prefer to encounter the discom- fort of a Spanish inn without, Countess Ito's Bravery. Many years ago, when quite a young man, during a rebellion, Count Ito was hiding from his enemies, who, having tracked him to his house, sent a band of "sohsis" to assassinate him. On hearing his enemies approaching and trapped like a rat in its hole, the count drew his sword and prepared to die, but the countess whispered, "Do not die; there is hope still," and removing the "hibatchi," or firebox, and lifting up the mats and the planks beneath, she induced her husband to conceal himself in the hollow space which ex- ists under the floors of all Japanese houses, The murderers broke into the room just as the firebox had been replaced and demanded of the countess their victim. In vain they threatened and cruelly ill treated her, dragging her about the room by her long black hair. But it was of no avail. They could not shake her resolute fidelity. Thanks to her courage Count Ito escaped and has lived to give to his country a new con- stitution and become one of the great- est statesmen of modern Japan. I often wonder when I see the countess, now a delicate, gray haired, little lady, at the courage and presence of mind that she displayed at that critical moment of her life.--Coruhill Magazine. The Idiocy of !tome Ideas, "Once in the joyous springtime," casually remarked the man with the ingrowing chin, "I threw a rug on the grass plot beneath my window. Days flew by as days will, and I picked it up again to find that the healthy green of luxuriant growth had given way to the sickly yellow of death and decay. Just so it is, my boy, when the brain is cov- ered over with the rug of old fashioned ideas. s Prom infancy 1 was taught by my preceptors to give useful presents, not silly gewgaws that .hat would last but the moment.

KELLAR'S GREAT MEMORY. it Aided the Magielan In His Somata Sight Tricks. "The second sight trick as perform- ed on the stage calls for a marvelous 'memory," said a former theatrical manager. "S.tue years ago I attend- ed one of Ileury Kellar's entertain- ments with Mrs. Scott Siddons. His lady assistant sat blindfolded on the stage and described different articles which be picked up at random through the audience. When he came near, I ' simply poluted to a curious little green charm which Mrs. Siddons had loaned to tne and was then wearing on my watch chain. " 'It was a green intaglio,' said the assistant in reply to Kellar's ques- tions; 'a very peculiar little midallion, which was presented to Mrs. Scott Sid - dons by the sailors of a vessel bound for San Francisco from Australia.' "We were so astonished that we al- most fell out of our seats. After the show we went behind the scenes with Nellie McHenry and some other the- atrical folk who happened to be pres- ent, and Mrs. Siddons proceeded to corner the magician, who was an old friend. 'Now, Harry,' she said, '1 want you to tell me honestly how you knew about that locket.' "Kellar laughed. 'You recollect I came over from Australia on the same ship,' he replied, 'and I would certain- ly know that stone if I saw it in Chi- na.' "Ile would say no more, and 1 pre- sume, of course, that he conveyed his information to the stage through his system of cues. But the marvelous part about it was his prompt recogni- tion of the charm on my watch chain. Tbe presentation on shipboard had taken place all of seven or eight years before."—New Orleans Times -Demo- crat. Uncle San's; Only ',Tip:, Tips given to Pullman car porters by government employees while perform- ing official duties are considered legiti- mate charges against Uncle Sam, -They are the only tips which are ac4orded this distinction. This interesting fact has just been gleaned through the dis- play by a government official of a bill of expenses which he intended to pre- sent for a recent trip which he made In the service of the government. He exhibited the statement as an evidence of the close manner in which the gov- ernment did business. He had to pre- sent a receipt for every expenditure made, even a receipt from the Pullman car conductor for his berth. The only Item for which there was no receipt was "Tips. 50 cents." When asked what the tips were for, the offi- cer said: "They were tips which I gave to Pullman car porters. '17he govern- ment allows those. but they are the only tips which are allowed. If 1 tip the waiter at my hotel or the roan who carries my bag, the tip conies out of my pocket, but the tipping of Pullman car porters, a quarter for each journey made on a sleeper, is such a recognized custom that the Item for such tips is always allowed by the government to officers when traveling on government business."—New Orleans Times -Demo- crat. How Emery Is Quarried. Emery comes from the island of Naxos, in the eastern Mediterranean, whence it has been exported for the last two centuries or more. The beds are in the northeast of the island, the deposits descending into some of the neighboring islands, the emery being found in lenticular masses, resting on layers of schist in limestone almost identical with Parian marble, the fin- est marble known, which comes from the island of Paros, close by. There are about 300 men engaged in the trade, all of whom have to be married before they are admitted to the fraternity. The material is much too bard to be dug out or even blast- ed. Great fires are lighted around the blocks till the natural cracks expand with the heat, and levers are then in- serted to pry them apart. This sys- tem is continued until time blocks are reduced in size to masses of a cubic foot or less, and they are then shipped as if they were coal. There are said to be 20,000,000 tons yet available at Naxos, and the last reported year's ex- port was 3,950 tons. It is one of the hardest substances known.—Ironmon- gery. Don't Put a Bird In the Window. "Never put a bird in the window," said a bird fancier to the reporter the other day. "1 rarely go into the street in summer, or even on a mild day in winter, that 1 do not see unfortunate canaries hung in the windows. Even if the sun is not broiling the brains under the little yellow cap, a draft is blowing all the time over the delicate body. People have been told a thou- sand times that they must not put a bird in the draft, yet how few re- member that there is always a draft in an open window!"—Berlin (Md.) Her- ald. Ink Blots on Paper. To remove ink from paper pour enough water over a teaspoonful of chlorinated lime to cover the stained portion. Moisten a clean piece of linen and rub it lightly wltb the mix- ture. if the stain is not of too long standing, It will disappear. If more than one application is required, let the paper dry before wetting the sec- ond or third time. If the spot is rub- bed, the texture of the paper will be spotted. Dry it gently with a piece of dry linen. The Chinese are very fond of foreign song birds. Forty years ago, when canaries were first introduced to that country, a pair cost 812; now they have multiplied to such an extent that a pair can be bought for 75 centa.

Land," which, it is said, ex -Governor Oglesby never succeeded in delivering u he prepared it, Is related in Franc B. Wilkie's pamphlet on the life of the governor: He bad been invited to deliver this lecture at a country town in Illinois and accepted. A large crowd gathered to hear him, and he was greeted with loud applause as he stepped forward to lecture. He was only to speak for one hour and said In beginning he would preface his lecture with a few remarks on his experience in Europe. At the end of 2% hours be was still talking about Europe, and because the people seemed so delighted he an- nounced that be would deliver the lec- ture the next evening. The same people came back, re -en- forced by many more, and at the end of another two hours he stopped with- out having said anything about the Holy Land, except to announce that as his subject. The third night there was a monster gathering, and Governor Oglesby, after finishing up Europe, started to say a few words about Egypt and the Nile before beginning his lecture. At last he looked at his watch and, with a look of astonish- ment, turned to one of his friends on the platform and said: "Well, here it is 11 o'clock, and I'll be hanged if I've got to the Holy Land yet."—Chicago Tribune. Sant Houston and His Corns. Professor Hiram Corson of Cornell university, who used to be a reporter for the United States senate, tells this story about Sam Houston: "We re- porters took turn and turn about each for an hour. One day I was sitting idly in the reporters' gallery, waiting my turn and looking on. Presently my attention was drawn by Senator Hous- ton. Huge of frame, he was particu- larly huge of feet, and those extremi- ties were rendered the more conspicu- ous in those days of boots by being incased in laced shoes. On this occa- sion there seemed to be an amount of pain in those feet proportionate to their size. "The senator kept one upon his knee, rubbing it, with an anguished expression and periodically exchaafi- ing for the other foot. After awhile he unlaced his shoes and drew them oft Then the nursing of his aching toes continued for a time as before. But no relief came, and at last, to my utter amazement and amusement, he slowly divested himself of a long blue woolen stocking, and, taking the huge jack- knife with which he was wont to pass the time whittling, he proceeded de- liberately to pure his corns in the sen- ate of the United States." But He Made a Good Officer. Some 20 or 25 years ago a gentleman of this place was elected constable, and although he had no opposition his nerv- 1 ousness as to the result was quite no- ticeable all during the day. After the polls closed and he was declared elect- ed he hied him to the river bank, in the meantime having armed himself with an old pepper box pistol, one of the earliest patterns of the revolver, and shortly after was heard to go through this colloquy with some one unseen. Pointing his pistol at a syca- more tree he exclaimed in dignified and dramatic style: "Halt! I am constable of this dis- trict and command you to halt. You won't, eh? Well, here goes"—bangl "I hate to do it, but it is in the discharge of my official duty. Now, I told you to stop, but you wouldn't"—bang! Just then the old pepper box became un- manageable and bang, bang, bang, bang went 'the remaining four loads. The firing soon attracted a crowd and the tree was thus saved. But, notwithstanding the episode of the sycamore and the scars it still shows, the gentleman is said to have made a good officer.—Hazlegreen (Ky.) Herald. A Girl's Idea of Boys. At an examination in a certain school for girls an essay on "Boys" was ordered written, and this was one of the compositions: "The boy is not an animal, yet he can be beard to a considerable distance, When a boy hollers he opens his mouth like a frog's, but girls bold their tongue till they are spoke to, and they answer respectable, and tell just how it was. A boy thinks he is clever because he can wade where it Is deep, but God made the dry land for every living thing, and rested on the seventh day. When the boy grows up he's called a husband and stays out nights, but the grew up girl is a widow and keeps house." An Eye to Business. A little boy named Peter at a public school saw his teacher faint and fan In the general confusion it was im- possible to keep so many curious heads cool, and the little ones flocked round the prostrate woman and her sym- pathizing colleagues. But this small boy kept both his color and his cool- ness. Standing on a bench and raising his hand, he exclaimed: "Please, teach- er. can I run home and tell father to rouse? He makes coffins?' Glove Cutting. The cutters of the great glove houses at Brussels and in France earn even higher wages than the cutters of the most fashionable tailors In London and New York. So difficult is this art of cutting gloves that most of the prin- cipal cutters are known to the trade by name and by fame, and the pecul- iar knives which they use In the busi- ness are so highly prized that they are banded down from generation to gen- eration as heirlooms. Hard Heads. A duel among native Australians affords a droll study of physical endur- ance and natural courtesy. The affaire d'honneur is conducted on orthodox lines. Seconds are chosen and the place of meeting arranged, each party assuring the other that the remem- brance of the insult or the casus belli can only be removed with a waddy stick, casually mentioning at the same time the design and weight of his own weapon. The duel then proceeds somewhat on these lines: The aggrieved one bends forward, hands on knees, and invites his opponent to test the sound- ness of his club on his (the challenger's) head. Politeness does not demand that the vigor of the blow be modified by regrets or remorse, much less such a reply as, "Not at all, sir; after you." The descent of the club is remindful of the conundrum, "Should an irresisti- ble force come in contact with an Im- movable mass, what is the result?" In this case a little local warmth is gener- ated. It is now the other fellow's turn, and the game proceeds as before, varied by mutual requests to bit a little harder. Either combatant leaves the field without a stain on his char- acter and tasting the quintessence of satisfied honor should his opponent's CA...) be broken over his head. Hence These Tears. "Mamma," said the happy young wife, "do you think it was just the thing to sit there and weep as you did at our wedding?

How difficult it is may be judged from an incident which occur- red in the shops of J. A. Brashear, the astronomical instrument maker. A customer asked Mr. Brashear what would be the price of "a perfect straight edge of glass 36 inches long." "It can't be made absolutely per- fect," said Mr. Brashear, "but it could probably be made with a limit of error amounting to only a fraction of a wave length of light." "How much would that cost?' "About $40,0001" It turned out that the customer wanted the straight edge for a scraper and that an error of one sixty-fourth of an inch would have been insensible for bis purpose.—Youth's Companion.

Monkey V*a.ace. a Gibraltar is noted for the monkeys which live there. Visitors watch for them by the hour, and they may not appear, yet occasionally in full day- light they will cross the walls and roof surrounding the old cemetery from the Alameda gardens, where they go to drink at the fountain. A subaltern tells an amusing story concerning this colony of animals. About two years ago some officers managed to detach a small monkey from its fellows at the drinking trough and kept it for a fortnight In captivity. Then, for reasons of their own, they thought well to restore it. So they took the little beast back to the drink. Ing trough early one morning before the others had arrived and watched it in ambush. Presently the monkey colony came, reconnoitered and, observing the tru- ant—as they evidently considered him —held a consultation.

Born before the Oonquest and dying under Queen Anne. Again at Chave Priory. Worcestershire, the age of a "rude forefather" is similarly Inscribed as 309. Not to harrow the read- er, we may say that these portentous figures are strictly the product of the engraver's art.

The Signature of William Shakes- peare That Admiral Lome Had. At the time of the New Orleans ex- position, in the winter of 1884-5, Ad- miral Luce was in command of the north Atlantic squadron and was sent down there W add to the gayety of nations, which po other old peados could do better than he. Upon his re- turn the flagship was anchored in New York bay, where it was visited by many people. One day a party came aboard which included among others a very pretty girl and a very dignified and learned Englishman. As Admiral Luce was entertaining them in his cabin he asked the pretty girl if she would like to see an original autograph of William Shakespeare. At this the dignified and learned Englishman pricked up his ears and remarked that he had made a study of the autographs of Shakespeare and was positive there was no authentic example in America. Admiral Luce re- plied that he was very positive his was authentic and that its genuineness had never been questioned. This made the Britisher quite mad, and be delivered a lecture on the fraudulent autographs and manuscripts that were brought over to America and exhibited as orig- inals. "Well." replied the admiral. "I am convinced that my autograph of Wil- liam Shakespeare is genuine, and 1 am going to have the pleasure of show- ing it to this young lady." Whereup- on he went to his desk, took out his visitor's book, turned back a few pages and then pointed out the signature, "William Shakespeare, mayor of New Orleans, Jan. 12, 1885."

A writer In the Journal des Debate complains of the process of degrade, - tion which is going on in the French language. Tbe peasantry, for instance, frequently speak of the ass, a humble partner in their daily toil, as "the min- ister," and other words of dignified Import are applied to equally humble, if not actually base, uses. Tbe same tendency, however, appears, to be showing itself in Germany, where the title "monarch" passes current in modern slang as a designation for tramps and footpads. The other day a noncommissioned officer in charge of barracks at Danzig addressed this term to a troublesome private just as a captain happened to be peeing. The latter at -once reported the incident, and tbe barrack master was brought before the magistrates on a charge of "leze majesty." Evidence was adduced to prove that in east Prussia "rascal" and "mon- arch" were convertible terms, so that the court acquitted the prisoner, al- though he loses his rank and his pen- sion. e Clever Roma... It seen. quite surprising that the an- cient Romans did not acquire the art of printing with movable types, inasmuch as they came so very near to It. They had wooden blocks carved with words in reverse, by means of which they stamped those words on pottery, while the letter was as yet unbaked and soft. Incidentally it may be mentioned that they knew the modern method of mending broken pots by means of riv- ets, and many pieces of pottery thus restored have been dug up. In ancient Rome there was one daily newspaper, which was written entirely by hand. Furthermore the Roman sen- ate had a publication which corre- sponds to Tbe Congressional Record. being a report of the daily proceedings of that important legislative body. It likewise was written by hand.

The only instruments known to these tribes were the drum, the rattle and a Ida() of flageolet. Tbe drum and rattle were need in ac- companying the voice, to accentuate the rhythm and to assist in interpret- ing the emotive impales of the song. Shaking the rattle and beating the drum with clear, sharp strokes served not only to mark the time, but to se- cure the co-ordination and unity of movement of the numerous voices in the choral or to enforce precision of motion in the dance. The tremolo of the drum or rattle was to exprees the awe and trepidation felt when approach- ing the supernatural or when invoking tbe aid of the occult power. The flageolet was a rather rude in- strument, having a range limited to elgbt or ten notes in the treble clef.

The man who is content with a modest average of six miles' wanting a day scarcely realises that every 12 years be walks a distance sufficient to girdle the earth at the equator. Startling as this simple cakuktion is, he may be excused a feeling of in- credulity when be learns that in walk- ing this distance he bas expended suffi- cient energy to raise our 88 first class battleships a foot high. It is calculated that in walking an average mile a man uses sufficient en- ergy to raise 17% tons to the height of a foot, or conversely a ton (of coals. say), to three times his own height. Tbe mere thought of such a feat is sufficient to deter a man from taking the most modest constitntionaL Thus every year the man who walks six miles a day does sufficient work to raise a ton weight to a height equal roughly to 1% times that of Mont Blanc, or to raise all the gold current throughout the world a foot higher than bisown head. A trampof 18 miles a day involves as much exertion as the day's work of an ordinary laborer. A Woman's Werrtee.

Steps are now being taken looking to a change in the location of the post -office to the corner room of the building now being completed by Mr. Frank Yauz, on the corner of Ramsey and Second Streets, for the following reasons: The room offered by Mr. Yanz is much larger, with better light and with two main doorways, and will overcome the crowded condition of the lobby at mail time. The floor is nearer to level of the sidewalk, and the danger of falling on account of the steps, by which a number of peo- ple have been injured, will be obvia- -ted. The unclean water from offices above the present location is dis- charged into basement and renders it dangerous to health. The new 1 cation will be nearer the railroad for transportation of mail. The present fixtures were erected in 1876, over twenty-three years ago, and ase bad- ly out of order; and larger boxes and more drawers are needed. Many of the lock boxes have no keys, and many are so badly worn that they will not unlock properly. Mr. Yanz proposes to furnish an up-to-date outfit, with keyless boxes as recently put in at Iced Ring and other points. • Petitions. are being circulated and.

There appeared to be an epidemic of marriage in the air yesterday, so far as Hotel Victoria guests were con- cerned. First of all Mr. Thomas P. Jandon, jr., and Miss Ida Wilson, the latter for some time past a guest at the Victoria, caught the popular in- fection, and were made man and wife, the ceremony being performed at the Queen's, -as Mrs Voss is a personal friend of the bride. Nor is Mrs. Jan - don unknown by name at least to many Victorians, having formerly been the wife of the veteran Klon- (liker, Napoleon Dupras. She obtain- ed a divorce some little time ago, and . has now entered into what promises to be an eminently happy union, Two other guests of the Vic- toria found the example thus set for them worthy of emulation, Mr. Edwin S. Winslow and Miss Winslow, of Seattle, the former accountant for the Seattle courts, uniting their fortunes as Mr. and Hrs. Winslow, with the assistance of the Rev. J. C. Speer, in the capacity of officiating clergy- man, Mr. Theo. H. Robinson and Miss Hodson. In the evening the wedding party made up a little soci- able theatre group of six, forgetting in the securing of tickets to ask the name of the hill. Judge then to the surprise of the blushing bride when she took her seat at the performance and glanced at her programme to find that Married in Haste was the text of the entertainment provided by playwright and company. The couple will be guests at the Victoria for several days.— Victoria Colonist, 4th. Last Friday at the boom one of the boys caught a three pound catfish, which he strung on a rope and placed in the water. When he quit work he went after his catch, and pulled long and hard at the rope. Much to his surprise, after he got the fish to the surface, was a very large catfish, weighing forty-one pounds, that had swallowed the three pound fish as well as the rope, and couldn't get away. As above stated this is sworn tO-by Alex. Mackey, a young but highly respected citizen. The double - headed catch was taken to Somerset Sunday, where a large number of peo- ple enjoyed baked fish. Stillwater Gazette. Reports from New Richmond are that Charles Lamphear, who was severely injured in the cyclone at that place, is again in a serious condition. He is confined to his bed and his spine is affected. Mr. Lamphear was in a serious condition when taken to St. Paul for treatment shortly after the cyclone, but improved rapidly and was supposed to be on the road to recovery. His injuries, however, were of a serious nature, and it is feared he cannot recover.—Cor. St. Paul Pioneer Press. Peter Young picked up a stone on the railroad track near town last Sat- urday morning that is indeed a curi- osity. The stone is about the size of an egg, from the centre of which pro- trudes a soft substance which will not burn and which is probably as- bestos. How it came there is indeed a mystery.—Mora Times.

Excel- lent material is cropping out all over the state. Rumors have it that Ap- pleton will also have a candidate for state treasurer in the person of B. K. Salverson, the able and popular cash- ierof the Citizens' Bank. Mr. Sal- verson was auditor of Chippewa County from 1887 to 1891, and since 1892 has been in the banking busi- ness.

Love at Long Range Sentiment and Telegraphy—Dots and Lines That Were Full of Feeling. Charles O'Meara was an operator in New York on one Bide of a gnadrn- plexed wire running to Chicago. The operator on the corresponding side in Chicago was Miss Amy Davidson. Both were expert, and the manner in which they kept their message hooks clear ex- cited the admiration of the chiefs in their respective offices. O'Meara was a handsome and intelligent young Irish- man, with jet black hair and mustache and great soulfnl blue eyes—one of the kind of men who seem almost uncon- sciously to possess the power of fascina- tion over women. After having worked the wire to- gether for a few months O'Meara and Miss Davidson became well acquainted, althongh, of course, neither had ever seen the other. They had abundant op- portunity for conversation in the early morning before the rush of business for the day began and in the late afternoon when the rash was over. There is a sort of telepathy in tel- egraphy, as all telegraphers admit, and there certainly was in this case. Long before any word of love had passed over the wire between them each had be- come conations of a tender regard for the other. O'Meara could recognize in an instant the touch of a strange hand on the key in Chicago, and Miss David- son was as quickly conscious of the change when any other than O'Meara's band manipnlated the transmitter in New York. There is as ninch that is distinctly characteristic in the manner in which telegraphers form the dots and dashes as there is in the manifold forms of chirography. One morning Amy complained of feeling ill. "I am afraid,"' rhe said, "that I will have to give up and go home. I would do so surely if I could afford to lose the time. My head aches dreadfully. Dear me! What would my mother and sister do if I should become real sick. They have nobody to take care of them but me." There was a tremulonness in the dots and dashes, which plainly indicated to O'Meara that the girl, a thousand miles away, was weeping softly, as indeed she was, with her head resting wearily against the resonator containing the sounder. He replied: "Try to stick it out today. dear. We will take it easy, and perhaps you will feel better by tomorrow. At any rate don't worry." It was the first time he had used any term cf endearment in their inter- course, and she was much affected. But she brightened up a little and man- aged to struggle through the day's work. Next morning O'Meara found a strange operator at the Chicago end of the wire, and when he inquired for Miss Davidson was told that she was very ilL The poor fellow realized now, if he never bad before, that be was deeply in love with a woman be had never seen. He became eo fretful and irritable as to excite comment among the others in the office. "What on earth is the matter with O'Meara ?" asked one of the operators an the opposite side of the "quad" of the man who sat at the next instru- ment. "I guess he's in love with the Chi- cago girl who is sick," was the reply. One morning the answer made by the Chicago operator to O'Meara's in- quiry as to Mise Davidson's daon's conditi n contained but one word—"Dead." O'Meara uttered a kind of moan, and his head fell upon his desk. When one of the chiefs aroused him, he found the young man's face flushed and his eyes bloodshot. O'Meara was sent home, where he remained for weeks, suffering from a severe attack of brain fever. When at last he had recovered and re- turned to the office to report for duty, the chief told him to take bis nsual seat at the Chicago quadruplex. "If you'd just as lief, give meanoth- er wire, I'd rather have it," O'Meara said. "I don't think I care to work with Chicago any more." There was a twinkle in tbe eye of the chief as he said: "Yon used to do some fine work on that Chicago wire." "Perhaps so," O'Meara replied sadly, "but I had a fine operator to work with." "Well," said the chief, "that's a fine operator there yet—the same one, I be- lieve, that was there before." "That cannot be—for she is dead.'' This with a great sob. "I think you had better return to the old wire for the present at least," the chief eaid. "Then if yon are not satis- fied I will transfer you to some other circuit." O'Meara walked slowly over to his old place to relieve the man who was at the moment receiving some messages from Chicago. As he neared the instru- ment and heard the characters coming with a dearly loved and familiar sound his heart almost stopped beating so ' overwhelming was the surge of emo- tion. He listened for a moment hat until at the beginning of another message came the signal of the sending oper- ator, "A. D." "Who in heaven's name is there in Chicago," be almost shouted, "that dares to sign 'A. D. ?' " "Amy Davidson, of course," was his friend's reply. "Don't trifle with me," O'Meara cried. "Amy Davidson is dead." "Not by a long shot," said the oper- *tor, making wav for O'Meara. "It was only a rumor that some chuckle headed ass accepted as a fact. She has been back at work for two weeks or more. From the manner in which she has inquired about you every day I should imagine that she takes an inter- est in you." When he sat down before the instru- ment, his hand trembled so that be could scarcely form the dots and dashes to ask: "Is that really you, Amy ?" He gave his own signal "0. M." "Yes, Charley, and I'm glad you are well again." Her reply was as flutter- ing as his question had been tremnlons. Some of the operators in the New York office wondered at seeing a young man sitting at an inetrnment with tears of joy streaming down his face, while in the Chicago office there was surprise because a girl was crying and smiling at the same time. When he bad recovered his equa- nimity, O'Meara said: "They told me you were dead and I believed it. The shock nearly killed me," "It was merely a rumor, I'nl happy to say. But when I came back to work I was greatly depressed at hearing you were so i11. Now we will both be well and happy again." "I will never be thoroughly happy, my darling," O'Meara replied, "until you are my wife. I'm coming out there soon to claim you. May I?" "Dear me, bow can you wish to marry a girl whom you have never seen ?" This was another instance of tremu- lousness in transmission. "That's all right," O'Meara said. "I'm willing to risk it if you are I've known and loved you for a long time, even if I haven't eeen you. Can I come for you ?" "I may be so homely that when you see me you may be terribly disappoint- ed. I may have red hair and freckles, a cast in my eye and a terrible hump on my back. Could you stand all that?" "Yes," replied O'Meara, "if you could stand my bald head and red nose." There was more of this pleasantry, and then Miss Davidson seriously agreed to marry her distant lover. After many more conversations on the wire it was agreed that Miss Davidson and O'Meara should meet at a half way point—Pitts- burg being finally selected—where they should be married. This course was chosen in the hope that the consumma- tion of their peculiar courtship could be accomplished secretly, thus avoiding the good natured, but embarrassing chaffing of their fellow operators. But that wire on which they made their arrangements ran through the Pittsburg office, where there were auto- matic repeating inetsnments. An oper- ator standing beside the repeaters one day overheard the final arrangements; heard the description each gave the other by which to insure identification at the depot and told all about it to the Pittsburg operators, who thereupon determined to make the occaeion of the wedding interesting. A committee was appointed to watch the meeting of the couple and to prepare for a reception. O'Meara arrived at Pittsburg a day ahead of Miss Davidson, as had been agreed upon, and was at the station on the following day when her train pulled in from the west. His heart was beat- ing wildly as he scanned the alighting passengers, and he was too preoccupied to notice that he was being watched by half a dozen young men. Nor did be notice that be was ob- served closely by a tall, bronze haired and decidedly handsome young woman who had alighted from a Pullman car and was standing in the shadow of a baggage track, loaded with trunks. There was a smile on the young wom- an's face as she finally stepped for- ward and touched Mr. O'Meara on the shoulder. "How d'ye do, Charley ?" she said. "Are you indeed Amy?" he cried, grasping her outstretched hands in both of his. "Yon told me to look out for a short, curly haired girl with a limp in the left foot, and I gave yon an accu- rate description of myself." "Not so very accurate, though," she laughingly replied. "You didn't tell me half bow good looking yon are." It was evident to the watchers, who now came forward, that they were pretty well satisfied with each other. The committee introduced themselves and announced that the couple were to be conducted forthwith to a hotel, where at 8 o'clock that evening they were to be married. This arrangement was carried out, and during the even• ing the Pittsburg operators and their wives and daughters attended the wed- ding reception and supper at the hotel O'Meara is now an officer in the sig- nal corps, and he distinguished himself in the war with Spain. ---Buffalo News. Instinct and Death: During my 1.4 years of hermit life 1 have run across many incidents that prove that wild animals comprehend the meaning of death. Two years ago I found the nest of a "wild" domestic cat in an old stone wall. There were three live kittens and one dead one. I left the dead kitten as an experiment. Whenever I had found a nest before this, a visit a few hours later would rind the nest deserted, the kittens re- moved to some secret spot. When 1 again visited the nest in question it was deserted save for the dead kitten.

It is believed also to be the highest in the world- Built in 1812, at a total cost of $50,000, its height in brick is 100 feet, and the wooden cage on the summit further increases this another ten feet. In a high wind the mill works at 30 horsepower and is capable of grinding nine comb of wheat an hour or crush- ing ten comb of oats an hour. The Practical Side of at.

THE MURDEROUS REVOLT IN THE TAOS VALLEY. Out of the Seventeen Americans Who Were Trapped by the Mexi- cans Only One Escaped Death Ei- ther by Fire or Bullet. John Albert, who ended his days at Vfitisienburg, Colo., had exciting ad• ventures in every section west of the Mississippi. He saw two wars an - took an active share In the Indian up- risings, yet when on itis deathbed he was asked to dictate to a reporter the scene he considered most exciting in his life he chose a theme with which few if any of his countrymen are ac- quainted. The revolt in the Taos valley, if ever It came to the ears of the authorities, was never universally disseminated. It appears on uo page of common his- tory, and, although for horror it com- pares favorably with the massacre at the Alamo, no novelist has seen fit to make It a central theme. The section now known as New Mex- ico was formally taken possession of by the Americans iu the spring of 1846. General Kearny was at that time in command of the invading forces. He made his headquarters at Santa Fe and remained in active su- perintendence for more than a year. At the expiration of that period the growing need of troops on the Pacific coast led to his withdrawal to Lower California. He left two regiments with a military governor in charge. Charles Bent, with a handful of men, was left to guard Santa F'e. The Mex- ican governor, General Armijo, had fled on the advance of the hated Yan- kees. His people, no matter what their secret thoughts might be, had been the most peaceable of subjects, yet the body of the army had not been gone two months before the Americans saw that trouble was imminent. The only man who escaped has told the story more graphically than any pen can portray it. Arroyo Honda was a town of some 1,200 inhabitants, mostly Mexicans and Pueblo Indians. It lay in the Santa Fe district, but too far away for aid to cone. The total of Americans in the place was 17, most of whom were rough trappers and mountaineers. The entire town turned out to an impromptu mass meeting on the plaza. It was decided to revolt and return to the Mexican authority. Well knowing that the band of Yankees, although compara- tively insignificant in numbers, would resist such a step to the last, it was determined to shoot all on sight. For this purpose the mob spread through the town. But through some source or other Governor Bent had received a tip. He sent off to Santa Fe for help and then, gathering his little baud about him, fled to the only refuge the place afforded. "The next morning," said John Al- bert, "they commenced the attack by sending in to us n flag of truce, de- manding our arms and ammunition and an unconditional surrender of our- selves. I told the boys they could do as they pleased, but 1 knew treachery would lead us to certain death in the end, and I was going to die with my gun in my hands and not be murdered like a common dog. "This was the turning point in the matter, and they all concluded to fight 1t out as best they could. The men who came to stake a treaty with us went back. Their forces were secreted behind the brow of a hill near by us, and one of them, after a manner of the wild Indians in opening a battle, carte to the top of the ridge and danced a jig and sang a song of defiance. 1 knew the time had come, and the soon- er the bloody work commenced the sooner we would know our fate. "We of the mountaineers had col- lected in a ,buildiug of considerable size and the only one in the place that was two stories in height. The danc- ing Indian was within gunshot, and I killed him. Billy Austin stood close be- hind me, and when another man came to drag the body back Austin shot him. By this time my gun was loaded, and I killed a third man. Then the hurrah commenced, and the air was filled with bullets from the guns in the bands of the men who lay behind the top of the hill. The bullets rattled against the house like hail. There was not a window left in it. Although we saw we were in a trap,fought we fou bt on. "When the sun was setting, the Mex- icans made a furious charge and set fire to the house we were in and got under the walls of other buildings. Soon, everything was ablaze. The up- roar of the yelling fiends on the out- side and the excitement of the men on the inner side was deafening. We tried to escape by digging through the floor Clown into the granary. The house was filling with Mexicans, and every- thing was in confusion. Fortunately for me in the confusion I escaped from the house. I don't know how many shots were fired at me, but none took Meet. I had a bullet in my clothes, one cut oft the brim of my hat, and an- other cut the band, and I lost it from my head. In the excitement I forgot my coat and was out in the world alone without coat, hat or friends and with 140 miles of mountain road be- tween me and safety." Albert wandered for three days over the mountains without food and ex- posed to the bitter cold. He reached the American lines at last, the first to bring news of the uprising. Of course, when a regiment arrived on the scene the Taos valley quickly quieted. It was not long after that that the Mexi- can war broke out. One-half of that nation was transferred to Uncle Sam, I In consideration of which old scores were wiped out. No penalties were exacted for the Arroyo Honda massa- ' ere, yet it must go down as one of the ; most horrible in our annals. Wes ern — t Cincinnati Enquirer. Never at Court.

Morgan, every inch a Welshman himself, likes to tell this story when there is another Welshman in hearing: He went home to dinner one day and found a paper hanger at work in the house. He asked the time, and Captain Morgan told him it was uoou. "I guess I'll knock off and go home to dinner ,hen," the paper hanger re- marked. "Stay and at with us," the captain said, and the Invitation was accepted. Captaiu Morgan was attentive to bis guest during the meal. He had a prodigious appetite. The captain help- ed hila to roast beef several times, un- til at last he had some curiosity to see just how much the fellow would eat without crying enough. The game was growing quite interesting when the fel- low began to show signs of quitting. "Will you have some of the plum pudding?" the captain asked him to re- vive his failing appetite. • "No, thanks," be replied. "I've had enough, I think." "Oh, take a small piece of the pud- ding!" the captain urged. "It's genu- ine English plum pudding and home- made at that" "Well, I don't -mind trying it," he said. The captain helped him to a section of the pudding weighing about a pound, and he ate it with much relish. Then he shoved hls chair away from the table and leaned back for an after dinner chat. "Ilii not much of an eater," he said, not noticing the smile on the captain's face. "It takes very little to satisfy me. Say, you ought to see the Welsh eat,,' "Are they hearty eaters?" asked the captain. "Hearty eaters?" repeated the fel- low. "Say, they eat like a lot of bogs." —Pittsburg News. LIKE THE PROVERBIAL CAT. How the Professor's Desk Came Back at His Own Expense. The young lawyer has good taste in antiques and has done much browsing about in search of them. He knows the places in Worcester and the neigh- boring towns where those who like old furniture and have the money to pay for it way find what will delight their souls. So it was uo more than nat- ural, when the professor sold his desk, which was of ancient design, but of doubtful age, and began looking for something better, that he should con- sult the young lawyer. The man of law was delightfully sympathetic. "1 saw just what you want the other day," he said, "but I'm afraid it's gone now. I'll keep my eye out for the next few days." "Well, if you see anything really good," said the professor, "buy it and hold it for me. It is not safe to let a bargain go too long. Only let me know as soon as you can, so that 1 won't be buying one too. It would be a great favor." • "Not at all," said the lawyer. "It's a pleasure to buy a good thing, even If you are not to keep it yourself." lu a day or two the professor receiv- ed a joyful note. The young lawyer's mother had found just what the pro- fessor wanted --a beauty, one of those rare old bits that they cannot counter- feit, and such a bargain, only $10. The professor was charmed. He imme- diately sent his check to the young lawyer with an enthusiastic note of thanks and a request to send up the desk. He was in the hall when it ar- rived. He tore off the sacking and in- spected his prize It was his old desk that he had sold a few days before /or $8.50.—Worcester Gazette. 1 She Kept Cool.

I couldn't hear the children—but the man wasn't strong enough to stop the motor, and It pushed the buggy right off the track!" "And where were you all this time?' inquired the interested youth.

He could not tell within five years. "Next I asked him how tall she was. The best I could ascertain was that she was not very tall, neither was she very short. I punched out the word 'medium' and let it go at that. "Next I asked the man what the col- or of his wife's eyes was.

It required such a man as Theodore Hook to cope !successfully with the ra- pacity of the gentlemen of the ball, in contradistinction to the road, and on one occasion, at all events, he proved himself equal to the task. It is related that once when dining out he, before the entertainment came off, provided himself with several bright farthings from the mint and that when proceeding after the festivities to his carriage he discovered several setvants, including the cook, awaiting him in the hall, he forthwith slipped a coin into the hand of the latter. The man glanced at it, noticed the size, and bowed low in thanks, under the impres- sion that he was a sovereign richer, while Theodore, dispensing largesse of a like nature to the other servants, went on his way rejoicing, nor did be cease doing so when, as he stepped into his carriage, one of the footmen, who had discovered the real value of the pourboire, ran out, saying, "Sir, I think you have made a mistake?" "Not at all, my good man," replied the humorist, with a gracious wave of the hand. "I never give less. Coach- man, drive on." A Famous House and Lot. An article entitled "Historic Homes In Washington." by Catherine Cava- nagh, in Munsey's, gives an interesting narrative of the home once occupied by James G. Blaine. The lot on which it stood once belonged to Henry Clay, who won it at a game of cards, at which he was always very lucky. On his wife be- ing asked if her husband's gambling did not make her anxious, she an. swered'. "Why should I worry ? Henry generally wins." After keeping the lot a short time ho swapped it for a Mal- tese jackass that Commodore Rodgers brought home from a Mediterranean cruise. He built the house. In it once lived James K. Paulding, secretary of the navy under Van Buren. Secretary Seward bought it, and was living in it when his assassination on the night of Lincoln's murder was attempted.

The ani- mal was found 350 years later, making its age easily somewhere'between three and four ceuturies. f(. • • T�ungry pipes men are satisfied with Seet Lotus oiff aCrea The Best.

On This Line You May Flog the Train With nn Umbrella. and the Engi- neer Will Hack Up a Couple of Mlles to Get a Forgotten Pipe. "Just hold up your umbrella, sir, and she'll stoic at once," was the cheery response given an inquiry as to the possibility of boarding an approaching train ou its way from Wadebridge to Bodwin, two queer old towns in Corn- wall, England. Up went the umbrella, and sure enough the driver shut off steam and pulled up just in front of the would be passenger. And what a sight it was! The `engine was constructed in George Stephenson's time and, I be- lieve, under his personal supervision. But the carriages! There were two of them, first and third class, respective- ly. The first class accommodation consisted of an open truck, such as one sees daily in New York carting cotton bales or other merchandise, but pro- vided with s me benches. Rude and uncomfortable as It seemed, however, It was luxurious compared to the third rlass carriage, which was neither more nor less than a common closed van, such as cattle or furniture are con- veyed in, and boasted neither seats, buffers nor springs. Third class fare was but 14 cents, but the first class passengers were mulcted in the sum of 25 cents for a journey of barely seven miles. The engine driver, who officiated in- cidentally as conductor, brakeman. guard and porter, came around collect- ing the tariff. A little conversation elicited some surprising facts in connection with this absurd out of date line. Formerly it had been the custom to sell tickets at the terrain, little triangular blue and white bits of pasteboard, with a hole in the middle, so that the ticket col- lector (also engine driver, stoker, etc.) could file them away on a string. But, alas, the ravages of time spare not even railway tickets, and eventually they were all worn out! So now the fares ere collected on board. The rate of speed was strictly limited to ten miles an hour, but incidental delays, such as picking up passengers, chasing stray hats. removing cattle or sheep from the track, took up so much time that not lufrequeetly an hour and a half or more was cousumed in cover - Ing the short distance. I may mention that passengers picked up on the way- side paid no regular fare, but merely tipped the engineer. The need of time tables was un- known, for the train ran but one way each day, and arranged the time of de- parture to suit intending travelers. It is related with much gusto in those parts that two commercial travelers once arrive=d at Boil win just in time o see the train round a curve some quar- ter of a mile orf. Turning to the aged station master, Mr. Worth, one of them inquired at what hour the next train would leave. "Day after tomor- row," laconically answered that offi- cial. The astonished drummer looked at him pityingly and, nudging his com- panion, whispered, "Poor fellow; he's crazy." But they were soon unde- ceived and, learning the true state of the case, hired a cart at some expense to accomplish their journey. What was their mortification, after proceeding a couple of guiles, to see the train put back to Bodwin, because, as they sub- sequently discovered, the engineer had forgotten to bring his pipe along! An interesting function always took place whenever an incline was reached. The driver, having regulated the speed of his iron horse, would climb out on the front of the engine, and, sitting between the buffers, strew sand on the rails; occasionally it has happened that, the supply of sand proving insuf- ficient, the engine would steam away to the depot in search of more. The country through which the little railway passes is of a high order of beauty and affords many picturesque glimpses. Bodwln itself is a quaint lit- tle town that dates back to the days of the Phoenicians and in later times was of much importance. This may be judged from the fact that it supported a cathedral and no less than 13 other churches. The remains of an old leper house are still to be seen, commemora- tive of the terrible scourge that in 1350 ravaged the whole country around: Rut, alackaday, the solemn march of prog- ress is already beginning to destroy this relic of bygone days, and the ruth- less hand of contractors and navvies are paving the way for an ordinary, common, everyday service of expresses and milk trains, and the inhabitants are deploring the loss of their steady going, if slow and uncomfortable, old train.—Los Angeles Times. Walking Correctly. Many children are taught at home 'i nd at school, to walk on their toes. This will do In a sick zoom when one has squeaking shoes, but it is not natural or elegant. Put the heels down lightly at first and the toes last; this keeps the body erect, instead of bending the body forward, as a per- son must who walks on his toes. Walking should be more thoroughly taught in our gymnastic schools. It costs little to learn to walk correctly, and it is well worth while to spend a little time to acquire the art.—New York Telegram. W hlle the population of France has increased only 10 per cent in the last 50 years, the number of state officials, ac- cording to M.

"It's a singular fact," said a man in the show business, "that `illusions,' as we cal! 'ern, don't fool animals. I've seen thint Icoved overand over again. n. A few years ago I had what is known as the `Mystic Maze' at the Nashville exposition. It was simply a small room filled with mirrors, so arranged that you seemed to be in a narrow corridor, full of turns. It was very puzzling, and I used to get lost in it myself, but it never bothered my dog a moment. He would run through it from end to end at full speed and never bump against a mirror. "I saw something on the same line in Frisco not long ago. A friend of mine had an illusion called 'The Haunted .Swing.' You get In what seems to be an ordinary swing, hung in the center of a good sized room, and the thing begins to move. It goes back andforth and finally clear over the top —that is to say, it seems to. What really turns around is the room itself. The swing stands perfectly still. It ,s a good illusion, and waren the room is revolved rapidly there never was a man who could keep his head in the swing. It seems as if he must certain- ly pitch out, and if the motion is kept up he gets deathly sick. But a pet cat belonging to my friend used to lie on the edge of the seat and never turn a hair, no matter how fast the thing was worked. "The elder Herrmann told Inc that animals were never deceived by false table legs, built up with looking glass- es and used in stage tricks. They al- ways passed around on the other side.

Unsuccessful Attempts to Convert 'them In Early Times. -In a report to the classis of Amster- dam on the state of religion in the New Netherlands in 1657, Rev. Johannes Megapolensis and Rev. Samuel Drisins made the following somewhat discour- aging statement in regard to the ef- forts to convert the Indians. It will be noted that the conclusions arrived at by the reverend gentlemen in the first sentence of the extract were in the nature of a prediction which has been completely fulfilled: "Of the conversion of the heathens, or Indians, here, we can say but little, nor do we see any means thereunto until by the numbers and power of our nation they are subdued and brought under some policy and our people show them a better example than they have hitherto done. "We have had one Indian here with us full two years, so that he could read and write good Dutch. We instructed him in the grounds of religion. He also answered publicly in the church and repeated the prayers. We likewise pre- sented him with a Bible in order to work through him some good among the Indians. But it all resulted in noth- ing. Ile has taken to drinking of bran- dy. He pawned the Bible and became a real beast, who is doing more harm than good among the Indians."—Al- bany Argus. The Court's Comment. A Georgia justice of the pea e, re- lates Case and Comment, once ook upon himself to charge a jury as fo - lows: "Gentlemen, this is a case which has been tried by me before, and I de- cided in favor of the defendant." As the jury took the hint and found for the defendant, just as the justice had done before, although the evidence was overwhelmingly in favor of the plain- tiff, the higher court refused to let the verdict stand. It also commented as follows: "A justice of the peace is generally a man of consequence in his neighbor- hood. He ,writes the wills, draws the deeds and pulls the teeth of the peo- ple; also he performs divers surgical operations on the animals of his neigh- bors. The justice has played his part on the busy stage of life from the time of Mr. Justice Shallow down to the time of Mr. Justice Biggins. Who has not seen the gaping, listening crowd assembled around his honor, the jus- tiee, on tiptoe to catch the words of wisdom as they fell from his venerated lips? "And still they gazed, And still the wonder grew That one small head Could carry all he knew." The Kind of a Piece It Was. One evening at a social function where Sarasate was among the guests, a young violinist had the bad taste to play one of Sarasate's compositions with variations of his own creation. The latter were inappropriate and in- artistic and jarred upon the ears of all. The performer ended his work and made his way to Sarasate, doubtless expecting. a word of recognition 'or praise. Sarasate said nothing, and the player finally asked, "I hope you recog- size that piece?" "Certainly;" Sarasate promptly re- plied; "it was a piece of impudence."— San Francisco Argonaut. i A Simple Fire Extinguisher. In German varnish factories an easy way to extinguish a burning pan of oil has been found in the use of a fine meshed wire net. As soon as this cov- ers the burning surface the iron wires conduct off the heat so rapidly that the gases can no longer flame. It is the principle of the Davy safety lamp and might be employed in various ways to extinguish burning gases. Berlin contains 110,000 Jews, and 46 per cent of the houses of Berlin belong to Jewish owners. CLOCKS OF BYGONE DAYS. Curiosities In the Museum of a Clock Making Village. In the town of Schramberg in the Black Forest district of Wurttemberg, Germany, where one of the chief in- dustries is clock making, there bas recently been established an interest- ing museum of timepieces. The col- lection displays the gradual develop- ment in the making of clocks for many centuries. Among the curiosites are many of great historical value. There is an alarm clock constructed in the year 1680 for the use of travelers. In form it resembles a lantern and the interior is designed to hold a lighted candle. The candle is slowly pushed forward by a spring, which also controls the mechanism of the clock. A little pair of shears clip the wick of the candle automatically every minute to regulate its light. The lantern is inclosed with movable slides, so that the sleeper is not at first disturbed by the presence of light. The alarm is set by inserting a peg In the second dial plate. When the required hour arrives, the alarm is sounded and at the same time the movable slides fall, flooding the room with light. Among the curiosities Is a .Japanese saw clock. The clock itself produces the motive power by descending a saw formed strip of metal. the teeth of which operate the wheel of the clock- work. In another Japanese clock the hand is attached to a weight, which sinks once in 24 hours. The time is in- dicated by a hand on the perpendicular scale.—Chicago Times -Herald. SHE RAISED THEM. A Georgia Widow's Recipe For Bringing Up Her Sons. During a visit to the army camp in Savannah General Joseph Wheeler was entertained by a party of northern men at the De Soto. When, in the good hu- mor of after dinner cigars, one of the men said laughingly: "How Is it, general, that the sleepy farms of the south produce such whirl- wind fighters in such small packages?" "Well, gentlemen," said the little gen- eral, puffing at a large man's cigar, "I believe I'll have to give you the answer an old 'cracker' woman once gave me when I asked her a similar question. Not many years ago I had occasion to make a saddle journey through the pine barrens of Georgia, .where most everybody is a 'cracker' and' mighty shiftless. One day, however, I rode into a little community that showed such signs of thrift as to be quite out of keeping with the general character of the barrens. I do assure you, gen- tlemen. I rode up to a cabin where a gaunt old woman stood in the doorway, and asked her who owned these little farms that were so well kept. " "that farm on the left belongs to my son Jabez,' said she, 'and the next one to my boy Zalm, and the next to my lad Jason, and the next is my boy Potiphar's place, and'— "'Hold on, sister, said I. 'How did you manage to raise such a fine lot of boys way off here in the woods?' "'Waal, stranger,' she answered, 'I am a widdy woman, and all I had to raise 'em on was prayer and hickory, but I raised 'em powerful frequent.' "— Philadelphia Post. Eugene Field's Arithmetic. The first book which Eugene Field had printed was "The Tribune Prim- er," published in Denver in 1882. It was composed of short lessons in dif- ferent lines of study. As there are said to be not more than seven or eight copies of the book now in existence readers may bo glad to see two speci- men paragraphs from the lesson in "mental arithmetic:" "If you have Five Cucumbers and eat Three, what will you have left? Two. No; you are wrong. You will have more than that. You will have Colic enough to double you up in a Bow Knot for Six Hours. You may go to the foot of the Class.

Mr. Carl 11. Myers, the aeronaut, In discussing the question of aerial navi- gation, points out one great advantage of the ballon over the aeroplane. The latter cannot stop or hover ip the air. and if caught in a storm may become helpless. The balloon, on the other hand, while it cannot go against the wind, is safe, even in a tempest, provided no effort is made to drive it in opposition to the air current:' Even in a high wind the balloon seems to the aeronaut to be be- calmed. Delights of Knowledge. "I suppose you get a great deal of pleasure out of scientific pursuits," said the young woman. "I do," was the grave rejoinder. When a man is a scientist he can go about the country as much as he pleases shaking hands with people and reading papers before societies without being accused of having ambi- tions to be a presidential candidate."— Washington Star. Almost Criminal Negleet. "Here," said the statesman who had been temporary chairman of the con- vention, "I'd like to know what kind of a party organ you're running anyway."

Peculiarities Is. Their Method. of Living ad Eating. Beauty, from a 4apanese standpoint, consists in a long, oval face, regular features, almond shaped eyes, sloping slightly upward, lti high, narrow fore- head and abundance of smooth, black hair. Their movements are graceful, although the style of their dress pre- vents them walking with ease; their feet and hands are .delicately formed and their mangers unquestionably charming. They take little or no exercise, and one wonders sometimes how the little ladies employ their time—there seems so little to be done in a Japanese house. To begiu with, there are no regular meals. The shops near at hand supply daily numberless little dishes, which seetu to be eaten at all hours of the da"and night—a few pecks at a time—It lth those impossi- ble little chopsticks. Very little Is kept in the larder except some slices of daikon, fermented turnip, some rico and sweet, biscuits;; "The honorable live fish" is sold by men who carry lake water tubs from house to house and cut off as much as is required from the unfortunate fish and replace the sadly mutilated but still struggling remains back in the tub. Eggs are cheap and plentiful. Bread Is never used, so there is no necessity for an oven. The great stand by is tea.

PRETTY CLEVER HORSE. Never Tied by Its Master Because It Knew So Much. "You see that little horse over there," said Major Tom Williams, standing on the edge of the :sidewalk viewing a small black pony. "That horse has more of the traditional horse sense than his size would show for:" Ile continued, "Watch him." The major whistled a few times, and the little horse, which was nibbling from a bale of hay on the sidewalk, raised his head and crossed' the street. He brought the. cart to which he was attached at a stantstill just in front of the major. "You see," said, Maim' Williams, "that horse has an eye for distance. I couldn't have driven him better than that. That heti too, !s a natural scavenger. He will pick up anything he sees on the street, if he wants to eat it. I never hitch him when I get out of the team, and he goes the length of the block picking up banana peel- ings, eating hay, corn or anything he takes a fancy to. When I want him, I only need to whistle." At this point a large, white dog brushed against the major with a friendly wag of the tail. "You never saw that dog kiss the pony, did you? Well, watch hits." Major Williams climbed into his cart, and, calling the dog, said, "Kiss him." Without a moment's hesitation the dog ran- to the head of the horse, and, jumping several feet off the ground, "kissed" the pony several times.—New York Mail and Express. Looking For It. There is a patent lawyer in town who has a number of very bright chil- dren, so bright, Indeed, that their fun loving "dad" is invariably forgiven for telling "what my boy said" to the men in his office.

"The other day my wife went up stairs and found 'Bookie,' my young- est, 2% years old, monkeying with that chest. He had the lid up and his head thrust in under it. "'Bookie,' said my wife, 'what are you looking for?' "And the youngster, knowing he had been caught, looked up and with a twinkle in his eye said: "'Lookin for twouble!' "—Chicago News. Weight of Paper Wrapping. A gentleman of Baltimore who has been a close student of household eco- nomics has made a comparison of the weight of paper to the weight of food supplies purchased for a family and In one day's purchases found that the paper wrappings amounted to about 10 per cent of the total. In a List of sup- plies costing about $1.48, he found that the paper, according to weight and which was weighed with the provi- sions, cost him 14�'.l cents. This, he claims, is altogether out of just pro- portion.—Baltimore Sun. Didn't Like the Taste. "When Colonel Richard I. Dodge," says the Kansas City Journal, "was in command of one of the southern Kan- sas forts .many years ago, he was as- tonished one day to receive a delega- tion of Indians who complained to him of the quality of the soap issued to them by the government. "Thinking it would be impossible to make soap too bad for an Indian, Dodge investigated, with the result of finding that the tribe had been eating their soap allowance and didn't like the taste."

Worrylog la the Great Drawbaek to Long Life and Prosperity. The breakdown in American life comes from worry, says the Memphis Commercial Appeal, and worry has al- most come to be a national disease. If an American has no money, he wor- ries himself into a state of mind, and when he gets any money he worries himself to death for fear he will lose it. He worries at his work because he is afraid he will not accomplish what he is given to do. He worries about his meals; they are not on time, or they may disagree with him, or they may be costing him too much. If he pays for a thing in advance, he is afraid it will not come up to the speci- fications, and if he gets it on credit he is afraid that be will not be able to pay for It when the billcomes in. He is afraid to leave his money In the house lest it be stolen. He is afraid to put it in bank lest the bank should fail. And so he worries about it. He worries about his business, whether it is going smoothly or not. He worries about his family, about the education of his chil- dren and the progress they are mak- ing. He worries about the nation, about congress, about the two great political parties, about the national conventions, about the gubernatorial elections, about tIls tariff and finan- cial questions, about the initiative and referendum, about the abstract right of secession, about the resolutions of 1898, about the decadence of -politics, about civil service reform, about the future of democracy, about sanitation, the water and gas questions, the paving of streets, the street car system, the class of plays at the theaters, the nomina- tion for mayor and the election of school visitor in the 'steenth civil dis- trict. He either sleeps too much or he sleeps too little. He has an idea that life is a conspiracy and that he must preserve eternal vigilance or the conspirators will get him. Ile lives so much on his nerves that he gets angry on slight provocation and thus wastes more tissue. The true secret of health and life and success is cheerfulness. The man who does his appointed task without being fussy will live a good deal longer. "Don't worry" and "Don't be afraid" are two very good rules to observe. The American people must learn these. these rules by heart and put them into practice if they wish to live long and prosper. Cultivating Pearls. After years of interrupted experi- ments it seems proved that pearl eyed eau be made to thrive in Ital- ian waters. The naval authorities have just limited seven zones within which a newly formed company is to plant 10,000 "Meleagrina margaritifera," brought front the Danlak islands. It is expected that in seven years the number will have increased to nearly 4,000,000 oysters. Of course, not every oyster secretes a merchantable pearl, but perhaps three or four out of every 50 speciinens. The pearl shell is worth $300 per ton as it runs. The pearl in the oyster is simply a secretion thrown about an Irritating cause. Signor Comba of the new com- pany is said to have developed a meth- od of provoking artificially the de- velopment of pearls. In any case, the pearly shells are certain to have com- mercial value for the making of but- tons. Shaving Brush Secure. "Where is my shaving brush?" is an anxious inquiry often heard on Sun- day morning. The shaving cug can- not well get astray, but the brush is a prime favorite with the baby, who cuts his teeth on it or paints the floor with it, and the result is that it is often lost HIDDEN SHEAVING BRUSH. or ruined. A trick shaving mug built specially to avoid this embarrassing predicament, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, has been made by Charles B. Crodard of Vicksburg, Miss. In this scheme the cup and the brush travel in inseparable companionship. The handle of the brush is made to regis- ter with au annular flange on the cup and when not in use fits therein. An- other tubular section completes the handle, this latter fitting completely over the bristle part of the brush, thus hiding it completely. How Far Is Lightning Visible? Now that the summer season is well on and thunderstorms are of frequent occurrence, scientific men are trying to find out how far lightning is visible. It is said to be visible 150 miles. A French astronomer declares, however, that it is impossible for thunder to be heard more than ten miles. An Eng- lish savant has counted 130 seconds between a flash of lightning and the report. If this be true, thunder is audible a distance of 27 miles. If the thunder succeeding a flash of lightning cannot be heard, it is impossible to estimate the distance away of the flash. If an allowance of one mile is made for every five seconds after the flash the distance of the electrical dis- charge is quickly known. Ilindoo Carpenters. In India the carpenters have an al- most universal objection to sharpening their tools. They never set their saws, and when they get a grindstone they cut it into pieces and use the frag- ments for anything except to put an edge on chisel or ax. RUSSIA'S NEW FUEL. It Can Be Utilised For Producing Steam Where Coal Was Used. In appearance astatki, a product of the oil wells of Baku, is a dark, vis- cous fluid, not more inflammable than vegetable g e oil and less so than coal. As a steam producer it bas no rival, and the demand for this purpose is constantly on the increase. Nothing else is burned on railways in central Asia, the Caucasus and southern Rus- sia, on the Black sea, Caspian and river steamers and the innumerable industrial works which are springing Into existence on the Azoy littoral. In the railways which employ this substi- tute for coal, locomotive tenders are not piled high with black diamonds, but carry a sheet iron astatki tank, which is filled by pumping or the force A gravity. Numerous are the systems of feeding furnaces with astatki, and. Indeed, every engineer has his own pet apparatus. The principle of all is that of the Root's blower. A current of steam, or preferably air, carrying with it the fuel in minute subdivision, is forced at high pressure through a nozzle, called a "pulverizer,' into the tubular interior of the boiler to be heated. The result is an intensely white, roaring flame, and in pulver- izers of the latest type the value of astatki as compared with coal on a steam raiser Is as 2% to 1. The former sells at Baku at $2.50 per ton, and when the pipe line connecting that ,place with Batum is complete astatki will be delivered at the steamer's side at something like $4. At the latter price coal will clearly be unable to compete with its youthful rival. Nor do the advantages of astatki end with Its cheapness. Engines burning it re- quire no army of stokers, for all that Is necessary in the largest is a man to regulate the supply by taps. There is no smoke, litter or dust. Many a pas- senger on an ocean steamer will bless the day when astatki shall supplant coal, and the stokers who are roasted alive in the tropical waters will have still greater reason to be thankful for the revolution.—Pall Mall Magazine. Oceans Made to Order. The great Sahara desert was once an inland sen. It would not be a very difficult matter to convert it into one again. A canal 60 miles long, connect- ing with the Atlantic the vast depres- sion which runs close up to the coast nearly midway between the twentieth and thirtieth parallels of latitude, would do the business beautifully. Wa- ter would not cover the entire surface of the desert. Here and there are por- tions lying above the sea level. These would become the islands of the new Sahara ocean. What would be the re- sults that would ensue upon this stu- pendous transformation? Some would be good and some bad. Among the latter may be mentioned the probable destruction of the vineyards of south- ern Europe, which depend for their ex- istence upon the warm, dry winds from the great African desert. As some compensation for this, how- ever, the mercantile marines of the na- tions affected would be enabled to gain immediate and easy access to vast regions now given over to barbarism, and a series of seaport towns would spring up all along the southern bor- ders of Morocco and Algeria, where the western watershed of the Nile sinks into the desert, and on the northern frontier of the Kongo Free State. In a similar manner the greater portion of the central Australian desert, cov- ering an area of fully 1,000,000 square miles, might be flooded. The island continent would then be reconverted into a gigantic atoll and would resem- ble, roughly, an oval dish, of which the depressed central portion would be covered with water and only the "rim" inhabited. Safes That Defy Burglars. The discovery of manganese steel has meant the manufacture of the best burglar proof safes. When this metal was discovered, it was Impossible to manipulate it, but a method has been developed through which it ie as readi- ly shaped as the inferior grade of steel Nothing equaling manganese steel in the combined properties of hardness and toughness has since been pro- duced. Experiments with gun cotton and dynamite on manganese steel plates have demonstrated that the re- sistance of this metal to the action of explosives is unequaled by that of any metal known to science. The ordinary methods followed by nocturnal visitors are of no avail In the case of manga- nese steel safes. Fir f Insulation.

The buzzard was flattered and offered reynard the head of the hare. As she did so the wolf came u. and observed: "Well, well, but who ever saw the buzzard looking so fierce and so proud as today? Really, now, but I took you for the condor." That tickled the buzzard again, and to show her good will she divided the body of the hare with the wolf. She had said that she must be off, when the jackal came trotting up and ex- claimed: "Upon my word, but I must have dust in my eyes. I was sure that ms friend here was the ostrich, and I wail going to ask her for a feather. Mrs. Buzzard, my compliments!" The buzzard grinned and giggled and tried to look shy, and meanwhile the jackal ate up the other half of the hare. "Here—how's this—where's my part?" exclaimed the buzzard, as she got to see what had happened. "Oh, we took the meat and you have the taffy!" replied the jackal as he lick- ed his chops and walked off.

Bear Baiting In Olden Day.. So popular was bull baiting in olden days in England that riots followed the attempt to suppress it in the large towns. Bear baiting was more popular still, if that could be. In various places, Liverpool especially, It made part of the festivities at the election of the mayor, being held before his worship started for church. Ladies commonly attended in great numbers. There was a famous bear at Liverpool, which showed such grand sport in 1782 that certain fair admirers presented it with a garland, decked it with ribbons and carried it to the theater, where a spe- cial entertainment had been "com- manded," which Bruin sat out in the front of their box. But of gossip about bull and bear baiting there Is no end. Enthusiastic lovers of Shakespeare read with interest the petition of the royal bear warden, addressed to Queen Elizabeth in 1595, complaining that his licensed performances had been neg- lected of late because every one went to the theater. Favor and Favour. Now I am not going to argue about the matter, but it may interest the reader to know that the first catr.vass- ing card which Mr. Gladstone ever is- sued, when be was a young Tory can- didate at Newark, was printed in this way: "Mr: -Gladstone to solicit thefavor of your vote and interest" So those misguided creatures who say that "favor" is a modern Ameri- canism must explain how an ultra blue Oxford Tory, educated up to the eye- brows, came to use that form of spell- ing nearly 70 years ago.—London Leader.

The editorial -comments on the fall- ing off from year to year in the at- tendance of teachers at the summer schools, which it attributes largely to the impossibility of a teacher being pecuniarily able to attend many insti- tutes. The average wages of a coun- try school teacher are given as $30 and in some counties they are only $25. If a teacher draws this munifi- cent salary for only seven months in the year, pays from $8 to $10 a mouth for board, buys a dress or two and a few comforts, she can hardly afford to attend summer schools, much as she may need their training and much as she would like to do so. A little figuring shows that after pay- ing board for twelve months at *10 per month, the poor country school teacher has only $55 left for dress and all other purposes. Were it not for the fact that the great majority et them reside with their parents during vacation, it would be an impossibility to get teachers. But the hardships of those who are wholly dependent upon themselves cannot be covered up. They are plain and uncomfort- able facts. We go on boasting of our public school system, freely give it credit for molding the minds, directing the aspirations, and casting the morals of the rising generation, and then pay our country teachers starvation wa- ges. Some classes of public officials, notably mere clerks, copyists, and typewriters, are paid more than they could earn in private life for corre- sponding services. But our public school teachers, in the country at least, are notoriously and unjustly underpaid. It is a good suggestion that the legislature which piles up burdens on the shoulders of the teachers should take a turn at raising their salaries.—.Minneapolis Journal.

The other day she came down town with the family coachman when he (trove after the gentleman at noon. The child wanted an ice cream soda and asked her grandfather for money to buy it. The old gentleman didn't know what an ice cream soda cost, but gave the little one a quarter and told his man to take her to the nearest drug store to get it. He joined her there a few moments later. The druggist was struck by the apparent affection of the child for her grandfather, and by way of a mild joke said, "You don't like your grandpa, do you?" "Yes, I do," replied the child. "Why? queried the druggist. "Oh, he's got the stuff," exclaimed the truthful one. Faribault Democrat. Among the European tourists who sailed with the National Editorial Association party from New York on May gist were Irving Todd and Miss Louise Todd, his daughter, of Hast- ings, .Minn. Mr. Todd has been with- out interruption connected with The Gazette, of which he has been for many years editor and publisher, since 1861, when the paper was The Conserver, afterward (in 1867) con- solidated with The Independent, when the name was changed. Such a rec- ord for continuous service on ono newspaper for thirty-eight years is probably without a parallel in Mr. Todd's section of country.—Newspa- perdom. • Randolph Item..

":Al't's Well That •- Ends Well." A Story of Love and War. P 'p — — — — as, The date, July 3, 1863; place, Vickie burg; dramatis personle, 31,999 south- ern soldiers and myself. The hot, dusty summer had dragged its Blow, pestilent length, until. surfeit- ed with the carnage, it stood blood red, feverish, giving its victims opportunity to do a little quiet writhing—to lei conscience get in its work and gnaw awhile. We bad been penned in like so many animals since early May, if yon measure the period by the deliberate calendar—for an age, if I may be per- mitted to base a calculation on my per- sonal experiences. We, at least I, had been growing thinner, raggeder, hun- grier, every week. every day, hour and minute. This slump into the depths of physical helplessness and sartorial dis- reputableness by no means surprised me. A man cannot wear one suit of clothes 'two years, eat in it, sleep in it, wade rivers in It and fight in it and show np fit to have a tintype made of himself- It would have wrenched my faculties to have fixed upon the date when a tailor had last run his tape around me and noted the points of his survey by French clialkings, and when I started ont to slay my quota of Yan- kees the snit I wore was discarded for one ranch • inferior in qnality, although at the time it represented to me some- thing infinitely beyond computation in dollars or comparison in texture. I was, however, a little nonplussed over my appetite. Trne, I could not have stated on solemn oath or affirmation when my legs had been stretched under bountifully laden mahogany. But why even a semblance of an appetite was spared me was a gastronomic puzzle. For a month my eyes had met such sights as men in the clammy throes of death, men mangled by shells, men with bleeding stumps of legs and arms and carcasses of animals rotting in the sun. The air was foulness itself. By day the burning son swung its scorching torch over this cesspool, creating odors Inde- scribable. When night fell, the slime and ooze from the ponds blown over the city received poisonous aids in the sul- phurous spit of the screeching shells from Porter's besieging fleet. Besides, we lived in caves or holes in the ground. We bad to. The rain of lead was terri- ble. And the ventilation of our abodes was not np to modern sanitary require- ments. I am gniteeel tain on this point. Spite of all this, I bad an adult appe- tite. I have never been so hungry since, nor was I ever so hungry before. He was a very discerning and phil- osophic man—or, was it a woman?— who said that clouds have silver lining. Our cloud was even finer than the phi- Ioeopber's. It was silver mounted—top- ped off with ornaments of the political metal of such massiveness as to defy the corroding tooth. A courier passed through the camp heralding the news that "Old Pem" had grown weary— whether of commanding 32,000 skele- tons with ravenous appetites, or of shrieking shells, or of living under ground, or of all combined was not vouchsafed, but he had grown weary, and we were notified to prepare to sur- render—rags, appetites and all—The following day. I cannot say what emo- tions stirred me when I heard this an- nouncement. My ambition had suffered a collapse. The dream of my youth vanished like a nickel on a bot day when exposed to the X rays of a large, cool schooner of beer. There was some consolation, o however. The ht li of g my life had not been entirely extinguished. From the wreck and ruin, the chaos of this disaster, I had saved my appetite. If I could but work that off on some Yankee and sit down and see him wres- tle with it, the spectacle would in part compensate me for the overwhelming humiliation under whicb I labored. The next morning I was up betimes. 8o also were the other 31,999 skeletons. There was an air of unusual animation in camp. We seemed to be impressed with the fact that we were about to in- augurate an epoch—two or three epochs perhaps. We were to let the world into the secret that we had reconsidered our former resolve to wade chin deep in Yankee gore. We were to give it ont Sat that it was a physical impossibility for one southern American to annihilate seven northern Americans. We were to brighten up the historical tablets and give the glorious Fourth a nineteeth century significance—a sort of renewed vim and vigor. Naturally we didn't think we were engaged in all this gor- geous rejuvenation business at the time, but that's what it amounted to in the long run. Americans are Americans whether they breathe the air of snowy Wisconsin or balmy Florida. We can see it now. We couldn't then. When the hour for surrender arrived, we were lined up and inventoried, rags and appetites, in accordance with the rules and regulations in such cases made and provided, and formally trans- ferred to the care and custody of the United States government—in this in- Yon tion was political. He had been b and raised np north, while my glimpse of the light was through magnolia trees in Dixie. This differe of opinion did not disturb our relatio however. Nothing could have d that. While both of us were headstr and determined on the qnestion, reit for an instant doubted the sincerity honesty of purpose of the other. S came about that when the secti called upon their children to come their aid Charlie loyally shonldere gun for his, and I as dntifully did same for mine. We parted in sadne but only as friends can part. At end of the line, his duties being end temporarily, Charlie at'once made way back to me, and I shall never f get his greeting. He grasped my ha with such fervor and emphasis a pulled me to him and hugged me w such ferocity that speech was cut of t question until his affectionate demo strations had partially subeided. looked me over from head to feet, a I never knew him to langh more hea fly. "Jim," said be, finally catching breath, "this thing of busting np t United States government isn't as so a snap as it's cracked up to be, is it? "No, captain"— "Charlie, if you please." "Well, no, Charlie, it isn't. Leas ways, I've discovered it isn't my fort If you can get me some place where can hoe potatoes and eat a square me every week or two, I shall be perfect content to let this government go rig along doing business at the old sten the balance of my days." We held half an hour's conversatio devoted mostly to matters and thin pertaining to our earlier and bett days. I asked abont Marion Dayto Was she alive, and if so did he thin she could ever forgive me for runnin off south and kicking up such a ro that Charlie was compelled to go an capture and lock me np to make me b have? Marion Dayton! What deiigh ful memories were aroused at mentio of her name. We used to call her ou sweetheart, though I some way felt sh was more Charlie's than mine, being northern girl. and of a loyalty so pro flounced as to be with her a religion She was as kind, as gentle, ae gracion a girl as ever walked in the sunlight And mentally as bright and witty a she was gentle and gracious. It was re freshment to be in her company, eve to be where one could now and the look into the peaceful, lovable face o the dear girl. How natural it came t ask Charlie what she would think o my conduct: "Why certainly, she'll forgive yon Jim. Marion couldn't harbor ill feeling against anybody, much less yon or me Jim. Yon know that as well as I do. But enough of that just now. Yo will go north in a few days. My coin mind will be in charge and I hope to be able to arrange n matters sothat t fat if you will agree to behave in future there will be no great difficulty in the way of getting you out of this pickle Jnst keep your own counsel, obey orders and trust to me." He pressed my hand and was away. As he disappeared I made a mental re- solve to the effect that Charlie Cady— well, that Charlie and Marion were the best and dearest people in this world of sin and sorrow. Ten days later we were in a north- ern prison. One morning an orderly came in and beckoned me to follow him. In an outer office I was put through the form of swearing on my honor as a soldier that until properly exchanged (which I hoped would be never) I would not attempt to overturn the United States government, and the door to freedom opened for me. On leaving my escort placed a note in my hand. It was from Captain Cady, informing me that be lay ill in St. Louis and asking me to call on him. I lost no time in complying with the request. That even- ing I sat by his cot, forgetful of all my misfortunes in ministering to bis com- fort. Campaigning had broken hint in health. It was plain to see that unless he could be relieved from duty he was not long for this world. I was therefore glad to learn that bis application for discharge had already been filed and passed upon favorably and that as soon as the surgeon deemed his removal safe he would be restored to private life and his friends. For a month I remained with him, overjoyed at the end of that time to emerge from the hospital with my dearest friend on my arm. All that he now reqnired was quiet and rest. With funds which he furnished—I was a hopeless financial wreck—I hustled around and secured apartments in a private family on a clean, quiet street in the west end and we settled down to a resumption of an easy antebellum ex- istence. I had written for the press be- fore the notion seized me to go out with grim visaged war and whoop up things, and had little difficulty in so - curing employment. Charlie gained health and strength daily, meals were coming with monot- onous regularity, and, to cap it all, Marion, whose family had removed to the city, was located only a few blocks away. It was not long before Charlie was in charge of the books in a bank. Our situation, all in all, was so roseate, so replete with all the elements that go to make np "one glad, sweet song," that when I gave it the benefit of delib- erate contemplation I reached the con- cision that we were in clover head gh. Besides, had I not eased my con- science by expressing to Marion my re - et at having ever tried to set up a vernment in opposition to the one she ved so well, and hadn't that delight - ei'n stand his passion. I led him off int first political discussion and by retiring ti the he was glad to drop asleep and "lea DCO the world to darkness and to me." A fly then I planned. one The following evening I made an e ong cuse to leave him and posted off to c her on Marion. It was the first time I h or ever presented myself at her home n o it attended by Charlie. I saw at once that ons she made a mental note of the ()can- to ur cc - to rence. The evening passed pleasantly— d a it could have passed in no other way in the such a girl's society—and I was about ss, to take my departure. the "Marion," I said, "you have been as ed a sister to me.

Chinese Torture. Theingennity of the Chinese in de- vising punishment for offenders sur- passes that of the most cruel people of the middle ages. Some time ago a boy was kidnaped from a village about 80 miles from Chin -Kiang and brought tc that city to be sold. The kidnapers were arrested and retnrned to the vil- lage, where the people dug a hole in the ground, like a grave, about three feet deep, covered the bottom and sides with unslaked lime, placed the offend- er, with his bands and feet tied, upon the lime and covered his body with the same material. Then they filled the hole full of water and as the lime slacked he was roasted alive and his body consumed. The New Way. The cannibal chief stood with his hand shading his eyes.

The Return of the Rations. In the civil war our soldiers faced privation and hunger. Alittle story in H. Clay Trumbull's book, "War Mem- ories of a Chaplain," tells of the spirit in which they sometimes did it. While before Petersburg doing siege work in the summer of 1864, our men had wormy hard tack served out to them. It was a severe trial to the men. Breaking open the biscuits and finding live worms in them, they would throw the pieces in the trenches, although the orders were to keep the trenches clean. A brigade officer of the day, seeing some of these scraps along cur front, called out sharply to our men: "Throw that bard tack out of the trenches." Then, as the men promptly gathered it up, he added, "Don't you know that you've no business to throw hard tack in the trenches?" Out from the injured soldier heart there came the reasonable explanation, "We've thrown it out two or three tinies, sir, but it crawls back." Pretty Lively Eating. When one grows weary of the eternal ices, blancmanges, charlottes and pud- dings served to Ise year in and year out for dessert, it is pleasant to hear of an innovation. A traveled American re• marked that she once had the felicity of sitting down to a Japanese dinner at which were served such dainties as melons, ices, fruits and sea frogs. There was in addition to these sweets a cov- ered dish, into which, at the beginning of the dinner, a bottle of wine had been poured. When the sea frogs and other dainties tied been discussed, the cover of this dish was removed, and a number of sandhoppers, hilariously intoxicated and jnnfping about in the wildest manner, were presented to the gaze of the,aston- ished American guests. The lively des- sert, so the fair traveler says, was caught by the Japanese with little bamboo sticks and eaten with great gusto. The'•Tone of Oxford University. The atnmospitere of culture which per- vades every part of the university is the truest cause of Oxford's greatness. Dull indeed must the student be who is not touched and deeply influenced by this great force during his univers- ity life. It strikes the foreigner imme- diately. The first evidence of it comes perhaps in the course of the first con- versation in a student's room, at which he happens to be present. He will not fail to notice the correctness of expres- sion, and usually the vigor and fresh- ness of thought, which are the salient characteristics of the conversation of the best Oxford men. Of course there are exceptions. tion s. Ther e are frequent examples of the literary dude in Ox- ford as well as anywhere else of the loan who sacrifices all pretense to sin- e .cut: and o t a m Ymomentary r9 and half cheap, epigrammatic bril- Nancy of expression.

Gladstone', Peculiar Eyes. There is an anecdote in Blackwood's of Gladstone and Professor Blackie which confirms the story of the states- man's eaglelike eyes. At a dinner the two men were opposite, and when Gladstone gave in a forcible way his idea that Homer was no longer recited but chanted, the professor cried out, "Mr. Gladstone, I don't believe a word of It!" Then be rose to argue the mat- ter and said one sentence, but got no further. Ile had met Gladstone's gaze and seen his outer eyelids widened to their fullness in a steady glare, and his tongue stumbled and he sank back into his chair in confusion. The writer con- cludes: "Go to the zoo for it. Take your umbrella. Make your way to the place where the eagles, vultures, falcons and such like creatures blink on their perches. Select a bird. Stare at him with insult, and you will see the outer lids expand as Mr. Gladstone's did. Poke at him with your umbrella. The filmy vertical lids through which he looks at the sun and opens to paralyze his prey will part, and then you will see what Blackie saw and understand his feelings." Not the Advice Expected. After spending more than a quarter of a century in active business life in the`city a certain merchant purchased a ranch which he considers to be ad- mirably adapted for dairy farming. Having had no practical training in agricultural pursuits, Ise is dependent for his knowledge of the art upon those books which purport to tell the ur- ban bred how to do the trick.

"Do you know anything good on milk, doctor?" he asked the venerable man of God. The jovial puipiteer, who knows more of the "sincere milk of the word" than of any other lacteal fluid, an- swered solemnly: "Yes, my dear sir, 1 believe l am familiar with the best thing on milk that can be found anywhere." "What is it, doctor?" eagerly and unsuspectingly asked the budding rancher. "Cream," ejaculated the preacher as he hurried round the corner.—San Francisco News Letter. An Interesting Experiment. That the earth revolves ou its axis can be proved by a simple experiment. Fill a medium sized bowl nearly full of water and place it upon the floor of a room that is not exposed to jarring from the street. Upon the surface of the water sprinkle a coating of lycopo- dium powder. Then take powdered charcoal and draw a straight black line two inches long upon the coating— the line should be north and south. After this is done lay upon the floor a stick so that it will be exactly paral- lel with the charcoal line. Any station- ary object in the room will answer as well, provided it is parallel with the line. If the bowl is left undisturbed for several hours, it will be seen that the black mark has turned toward the parallel object and has moved from east to west, in a direction opposite to the movement of the earth on its axis. This proves that the earth in revolv- ing has carried the water with it, but the powder on the surface has been left a little behind. To Extract a Splinter. The easiest way to extract a splinter deep in the flesh of the hand or foot is by means of steam. A rather wide mouthed bottle is filled two-thirds full of boiling water, and the injured spot if held close over the opening. The suction draws the flesh down, and a little additional pressure is used to as- sist the exit of the intruder. In a few moments the steam extracts the splinter, and the inflammation rapidly subsides. Kansas Husbands. A woman takes great consolation In thinking that some day when she Is laid in the cold, cold ground her hus- band will wish be had her back to tell her bow sorry he is that he treated her so mean. She imagines hits weeping over the sod and wishing he could see her, if only for a moment, to ask her forgiveness. But he will not appear in such a scene. On the contrary, he will probably be chasing after some other woman.—Atchison Globe. Big Money. One of the largest and most cumber- some forms of money is found in Cen- tral Africa, where the natives use a cruciform ingot of copper ore over 10 inches long. It is heavy enough to be a formidable weapon.

The Barber Was All Right. "After being shaved In a Chicago ho- tel barber shop," said the man from South Bend, "I walked out and down the street and entered another shop and took a chair. The barber lathered and scraped me without a word, and 15 minutes later I submitted myself to a third. He lathered and rubbed as if I had not been shaved for a month, and just as he took up the razor I asked: "'Didn't you notice that I had been shaved twice already this morning? "'Yes, sir,' he replied. "'But you are going to shave me again?' "'No, sir. I supposed you came in here to get the skin taken off and part with some of your cheek!' "—Pittsburg Dispatch. Vaccinated the Rifles. Orders that were issued by the Ger-, man West African officials that all firearms in the hands of natives should be stamped and registered aroused much discontent. Lieutenant Eggers, in Damaraland, however, got along with no trouble, fie had inoculated cattle for the rinderpest three years be- fore, as the Damaras saw, with' good results. He therefore announced that he was ready to vaccinate their rifles so as to insure their shooting straight and doing no hurt to their owners and the Damaras crowded to him to get their guns stamped.

In these days of rush and excite- ment, says The Medical Record, when the nervous system is too often stretched to Its utmost tension, and when neurasthenia rampant every- where, verywhere, the question of rest and sleep must be considered. The mode of Hy- lug avIng. has so altered, even within the past 30 years and especially in this country, that the sleep problem is a matter of the first importance. This being the ease, the fact that little Is definitely known as to the cause of sleep is decidedly curious. Sleep—per- haps the most marvelous phenomenon In the world—may rightly .be termed* a mystery. Leonard Hill thus summarizes the facts which are known concerning sleep: First.—Respiration. (a) The number per minute remains unaltered, the movement becomes shallow and thoracic in type; (b) the amount of in- spired air per minute is lessened by from one-half 'to two-thirds; (c) the output of carbonic acid gas Is dimin- ished by one-half to two-thirds. Sec- ond.—Circulation. (a) The blood con- gests in the limbs; (b) the venous sys- tem is engorged; (e) the arterial pres- sure falls; (d) the pulse rate dimin- ishes, and (e) the velocity of blood flow decreases. Third.—Temperature. The temperature falls during the night. The production of heat is estimated to diminish by from half to two-thirds. Fourth.—Nervous system. (a) Tho blood flow through the brain is dimin- ished; (b) the acidity of the cortex de- creases; (c) the excitability of con- sciousness to external stimuli steadily decreases during the first one to two hours of sound sleep. After that period the excitability rapidly becomes al- most as great as it is toward the end of sleep, and (d) consciousness alone seems to be abrogated during sleep. The nerves and the special senses con- tinue to transmit impulses and pro duce reflex movements: Cerebral anae- mia is the theory which bas the most wide acceptance, but as Leonard Hill remarks, such speculations do not car- ry us far, and the causation of sleep must still be regarded as metaphysical. While, however, the cause of sleep still continues to be enveloped in more or less mystery, of one truth we are much too frequently cognizant In the pres- ent age—that of insomnia, possibly the worst misery to be imagined. Highly wrought nervous organiza- tious produced by the high pressure living of our times are in this country rather the rule than the exception. Therefore the absolute need for a pe- riod of repose spent among healthy, in- vigorating surroundings, which should be a sine qua non with the fagged out brain workers of our cities. This ques- tion is undoubtedly one of the most se- rious confronting the rising generation who dwell 1n the busy centers of trade and becomes more and more menacing as the years roll on. Ivy Prevents Dampness. There is a current opinion that ivy bas a tendency to rot the thing to which it clings. This is true of a large number of other climbing plants, but not of ivy. for it renders the walls of almost every house to which it clings entirely free from damp, extracting ev- ery particle of moisture from wood, brick or stone for its own sustenance. This it does by means of its tiny roots, which can work their way even Into the hardest stone. When the walls are well covered with ivy the overlapping leaves will conduct water falling upon them from point to point until the ground is reached without allowing the walls to receive any moisture whatever from the beating rain. It there should be an exceptional case of ivy covered walls showing signs of dampness, that will be found to arise from their having been erected on a wet and improperly drained site.—Ex- change. America Forging Ahead. Every day brings news of some im- portant order being wrested from the slow moving Englishman by the push- ful Yankee. American rails, American steel plates and American locomotives have all found a footing in the home market here. Now we are threatened with American coal, which is being shipped to Europe In competition with our own. But our cup of sorrow 1s not yet filled, for today it is announced that a Sunderland shipbuilding firm has just placed an order with the Penn Steel Casting company of Pennsylva- nia for a patent steel rudder, cast all in one piece, which It is Intended to fit to a Wear built ship.—Shipping Gazette. Grape Fruit as a Medicine. For the past five years grape fruit has been steadily gaining in popularity In this city and also in cheapness. "I am told," said a wholesale fruit dealer recently, "that the reason for this is that the fruit contains some medical qualities and is recommended by phy- sicians particularly for persons of rheumatic tendencies, it being said that the daily use of the grape fruit materially mitigates the elements in the blood that give rise to rheumatism. The best grape fruit comes from Flor- ida, large quantities being obtained also from Jamaica and California."— New York Post. Extremes. Cham, the French caricaturist, was talking one day with a Gascon, who bragged that bis father's ancient baro- nial dining ball was the wonder of the world. It was so high yon could hardly see the root. "My father had a dining room," said Cham, "which was just as remarkable the other way. It was so low that the only flab we could serve at table was ...ion,• ! CURE FOR LOCKJAW. Relief Has Been For by I dueling I Violent Pers For Lockjaw when caused by a wound has long been considered incurable, and it is only of late years that a few in- stances of successful treatment have been recorded, the most striking being those effected by the Indian woorall poison and by enormous doses of alco- bol. Two cases are reported In which all the alarming symptoms were re- moved by violent perspiration, accord- ing to the London Globe. The first was that of a young man of 22, who had the misfortune of having his hand caught in the gearing of a thrashing machine; part of the skin was carried off, but in the course of a fortnight everything seemed progressing toward a speedy cure, when one morning the patient awoke with a strange rigidity In his jaws, violent pain all over the sternum, intermittent difficulty of breathing and convulsive starts in the lower limbs. A doctor being called in, he immediately proceeded to throw the patient into a violent perspiration. For this purpose he had hoops put under the bedclothes in order to prevent their contact with the body, and then got four deep pots filled . with quicklime, which he slightly moistened with water. To prevent the skin from being scorched each pot was wrapped in linen and then placed on each side of the patient, orders being given to the family to moisten the quicklime from time to time and to change It when exhausted. The heat engendered was so intense that on the first day the bed- clothes caught fire, which, however, was speedily extinguished. As for the perspiration, it was so immoderate as to pass all belief. On the fifth day all tetanic symptoms had disappeared; the patient was in a state of complete pros- tration, which was, however, removed by good nourishment, and a few days after all traces of the dangerous af- fection had disappeared. The second case was that of a day laborer, who, when the doctor came, appeared in a dying state. He at first denied having had any wound, but upon examination an injury caused by a hobnail was discovered on one of his great toes—a circumstance the pa- tient had forgotten. The treatment was the same and attended with the same result. Few Hours of Sleep. Some of the greatest workers of our day, says The British Medical Journal, have done with much less than eight hours of sleep. Dr. James Legge, pro- fessor of Chinese In the University of Oxford, who has recently died at the age of 82, was, it is said, in the habit of rising at 3 a. m. and allowing him- self only five hours of sleep. Brunel, the famous engineer, for a considerable part of his life worked nearly 20 hours a day. Sir George Elliott, afterward Lord Heathfield, who was in command throughout the great siege of Gibral- tar, which lasted four years, never during all that time slept more than four hours out of the 24. He lived to the age of 84. "As I get old," said Humboldt, "I want more sleep—four hours at least. When I was young two hours of sleep were quite enough for me." On Professor Max Muller ; hinting that he found this a hard say- ing, Humboldt said: "It is quite a mis- take, though It is very widely spread, I that we want seven or eight hours of sleep. When I was your age, I simply lay down on the sofa, turned down my lamp, and after two hours' sleep I was as fresh as ever." He lived to be 89. These examples are, to use the con- secrated phrase of the hagiographers, more for admiration than for imita- tion, but they serve to show that lon- gevity and a small allowance of sleep are not in all cases incompatible. Fish Produce Silk. A shellfish known as the pianna in the Mediterranean has the curious power of spinning a viscid silk which is made In Italy into a regular fabric. The silk s spun by the shellfish in the first plac for the purpose of attaching itself to th rocks. It Is able to guide the delicate fl ments to the proper place and then glue them fast, and if they are cut away it can reproduce thein. The material, when gathered, which is done at low tide, Is washed in soap and water, dried and straightened, one pound of the coarse filament yielding three ounces of the fine thread, which, when spun, is of a lovely burnished golden brown color.—Cincinnati En- quirer. Contagion Through Hamekerehief.. Western medical authorities are cru- sading against the use of the handker- chief. While they suggest no substi- tute, they argue that the handkerchief must go, because It breeds disease. Dr. M. P. Foshey, editor of the Cleveland Journal of Medicine, says: "Colds in the head and sore throats make the rounds of whole families. The hand- kerchief as usually employed is far from being an aseptic device as it could well be. Used repeatedly and thrown in a moist condition Into the same pocket, the germs must remain there from day to day, reinfecting each fresh handkerchief and carrying contagion to the mucous membrane." Coaee trot. alternates. A traveler has made the observation that coffee drinking people are very seldom given to drunkenness. In Bra- zil, for instance, where coffee is grown extensively and all the inhabitants drink it many times a day, intoxica- tion is rarely Been. The effect is not only noticeable among the natives, but the foreigner who settles there, toongh possessed of ever such a passion for strong drink, gradually Doses his liking for alcohol as he acquires thou mem thinking habit of the Braslilan. - NEW SMOKELESS POWDER. It Can Be Stored Under Water With Safety Until Used. Ancil Moffatt, who is well known among his friends as a genius in the direction of chemistry, has perfected a new smokeless powder, the secret of which he and his friend, J. Richard Francis, have kept quiet for a long time. For nearly four years Mr. Mof- fatt, says the Indianapolis Journal, has worked in his laboratory and in the field with the new explosive, and as a result of the outcome as well as the tests made according to the govern- ment regulations a company was In- corporated with a capital stock of $150,000. Anell Moffatt, inventor of the new explosive, said of it: "I have confi- dence in its immediate success. Its chief characteristics are safety of man- ufacture and use. All the extreme dangers of powder are eliminated by Ude process, and explosions of powder will be a thing of the past. It Is a wet process, and the finished powder may be stored in water indefinitely without deterioration. It has stood all of the usual government tests. It makes the least smoke of all the smokeless powders. "By comparative tests it shows won- derful projectile power, yet, owing to its peculiar nature, it may be used in a shotgu& with the same safety as black pot er. Leas than one-half the quantity in weight is necessary for a load. One feature is that it can be used in all the old style gun shells. Our explosive will start a new era in mining. When exploded in a mine, 1t leaves so little smoke and absolutely no poisonous fumes that the miner Is enabled to immediately resume work. Thus from 15 to 20 per cent of min- ing time will be saved. "'Aso,' the name of this new pow- der, contains no nitroglycerin, as dy- namite does. In using dynamite the greater number of accidents occur in warming or thrawing it out. 'Azo' ex- plodes frozen as well as warm. Al- though 'azo' contains no nitroglycerin, if, for any other purpose, an explosive of extreme violence is necessary, we can run It up to a power 25 per cent greater than that of pure nitroglycerin. The mining interests of the west will be supplied from factories located at convenient places." Chalk From England. One of the most important of the few British products at present largely used in this country is chalk. It comes from the banks of the river Thames, and between 175,000 and 180,000 bar- rels of the material are consumed in the United States annually. In its crude form remarkable flint fossils are sometimes found, usually the remains of fish. The process of manufacture from the natural state to that of a form when it can be utilized for com- mercial purposes is simple. When re- ceived at the English mill, the chalk is put into great machines and ground in water. It is then floated off into vats of clear water, where all the im- purities and foreign substances are precipitated, the water being after- ward drawn off by a series of filtering operations and the soft residuum dried by steam heat and exposure to the air. The substance is then reduced to a powder of different degrees of fineness by grinding in a bur mill and bolting, when it is ready to be packed in tier- rels and shipped for use.—New York Mail and Express. Harmful Piano Practice. Dr. Waetzold, says Le Journal d'Hy- giene, thinks that the chloroses and neuroses from which so many young girls suffer may be largely attributed to the abuse of the piano. It is neces- sary, says the author, to abandon the deadly habit of compelling young girls to hammer on the keyboard before they are 15 or 16 years of age. Even at this age the exercise should be per- mitted only to those who are really talented and are possessed of a robust temperament. Dr. Waetzold shows that out of 1,000 young girls studying the piano before the age of 12 years 000 were afflicted with nervous trou- bles later on, while the number hav- ing affections of this kind was only 200 for those at a later age, and only 100 were affected among those who had never touched the instrument. The study of the violin produces even more disastrous results than those attribut- ed to the piano. Slim of the Ocean. An omcer of a liner once remarked that mostmen seem to be as ignorant about the size of the sea as they are of the distance between the heavenly planets. Here are a few facts: The Pacific covers 68;000,000 square miles; the Atlantic 80.000,000 and the Indian ocean, Arctic and Antarctic 42,000,- 000. To stow away the contents of the Pacific it would be necessary to 511 a tank one mile long, one mile wide and one mile' deep every day for 440 years. Put in figures the Pacific holds in weight 984,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons. The Atlantic averages a depth of not quite three miles. Its waters weigh 225,000,000,000.000,000 tons, and a tank to contain it would have each of its sides 430 miles long. The figures of the tuber oceans are In the same startling proportions.—New York Journal Hverattes. A girl named plain "Mary" at her birth dropped the "r" when she grew up and became Miss May. As she began to shine in a social way she changed the "y" to "e" and signed her letters Mae. About a year ago ebe was mar- ried, arried, and new she hu dropped the "e," and it's Just plain "Ma." That's' eve- lution.—Rogersville (Tenn.) Review. PREHISTORIC MAN. He Had a Third Bye on the Top of His Read. Deep researches as to the structure of the human body have recently fur- nished some startling facts regarding changes which man is at present un- dergoing physically. It is believed' that man was formerly endowed with more teeth than he pos- sesses now. Abundant evidence exists that ages and ages ago human teeth were used as weapons of defense. Un- intentionally, traces of such use are often revealed by a sneer. The teeth are sometimes bared, doglike, ready, as It were, for action. The practice of eaten* our food cook- ed and the disuse of teeth as weapons are said to be responsible for the de- generation that is going on. The wis- dom teeth, in fact, are disappearing. Human jaws, found In reputed paleo- lithlc deposits, have wisdom teeth with crowns as large as, if not larger than. the remaining molars. In ancient times a shortsighted sol- dier or hunter was almost an impossi- bility. Today a whole nation Is afflicted with defective vision. It is almost cer- tain that man once possessed a third eye, by means of which he was enabled to see above his head. The human eyes formerly regarded the world from the two sides of the head. They are even now gradually shifting to a more for- ward position. In the dim past the ear flap was of great service In ascertaining the direc- tion of sounds and operated largely in the play of the features. But the mus- cles of the ear have fallen into disuse, for the fear of surprise by enemies no longer exists. Again, our sense of smell Is marked- ly inferior to that of the savages. That It is still decreasing is evidenced by ob- servations of the olfactory organ. But the nose still Indicates a tendency to become more prominent. Who Invented the Match? Who was the inventor of the modern match which strikes on the box? Its immediate predecessor in England went by the name of "Lucifer,' as the older folk among us remember. A shopkeeper would ask, "Will you have 'Lucifers' or 'CongrevesT " As the "Congreve" was the first match sold in England of the now invariable type, and the name was In nee all over Eu- rope after 1832, it is presumed that Congreve was the name of the in- ventor. There are many rival claim- ants, however, to tie honor. The peo- ple of St. Lothair, a little commune in the Jura mountains, are erecting a monument to their fellow townsman, Charles Marc Sauria, as the "Inventor of the Striking Match." Sauria was a country doctor and spent the greater part of his life in his native commune. In Germany the credit of the invention Is usually given to the chemist, J. Kammerer, who died In the lunatic asylum at Ludwlgsburg halt a century ago.—London News. Leviathan of the Rall.. Leonard's Railway News describes a mammoth locomotive on the New York Central which is revolutionizing freight train methods and fast solving the problem of cheap transportation. This leviathan of the rails, with its tender, weighs 248,000 pounds, and its normal hauling capacity is 80 cars loaded with 80,000 bushels of grain. 7 s. r (cif • , Illirill!'llg CIS` „ !I'' I �t4_s,#;._ ...:7-.1 amps MAMMOTH LOCOMOTIVE. This is its daily performance, and It glides over the rails of the four track system at an average speed of 15 miles an hour. Recently this locomotive, hauling 85 loaded cars on its run be- tween De Witt and West Albany, 148 miles, cover -ed the distance in nine hours, with an average speed of 14.04 miles an hour. The weight of the train was 8,250 tons, the number of tons hauled one mile 451,750, the number of pounds of water used 144,873.8, pounds of coal used 20,520, or 22 tons of freight hauled a mile on every pound of coaL Color and Disease.

The most recent attempt to build an unsinkable ship is being made by the Hamburg -American line. That com- pany has placed an order with the shipbuilders of Hamburg for a twin Screw passenger steamer which will embody a feature never introduced in the construction of a merchant ves- sel. To make the steamer practically unsinkable the directors have, besidet fitting the ship with water tight bulk - VESSEL WITH WATRR TIGHT OUTER COM- PARTMENT. heads and double bottoms, provided for double sides. The space between the outer and inner skin will form a water tight compartment. In case of an ordinary collision only the outer bull will fill with water, leaving the rest intact. The new vessel will be the largest cargo carrier in the world - 600 feet long, 06 feet beam and 42 feet deep. Her cargo capacity will be 20,- 000 tons. There will be accommoda- tions for 800 first cabin passengers. 200 second cabin and 600 steerage. Origin of Klondike Gold. Assuming that alluvial gold is in the main a derivative from reef gold, It is certainly strange that streams flowing In well nigh opposite directions, and yet rising within very short distances of one another, should be so largely charged with gold, unless they have received it from a common source; nor can the fact, as received and reported by most miners, but of the full import of which I have not yet fully made up my mind, that the different streams carry different classes of gold, be ar- gued away as having no significance In this connection. Claim holders pro- fess at most times to be able to dis- tinguish between El Dorado gold and that of Bonanza, between the gold of Bonanza and that of Hunker or Do- minion, and so on, and there is no question that marked differences in color and in the contours of the coarse flakes and nuggets do present them- selves,andeven in narrower limits than has here been outlined. Thus the gold from French H ill abreast ot claim 1al Ton El Dorado, has a distinctiveness that is largely its own and hardly follows the gold of the rest of the El Dorado tract, and the same is true of the gold of Skookum hill in its relations to that of Bonanza, and also that of Victoria gulch. Moreover, the recent assays that have been made by the Bank of British' North America and the Cana- dian Bank of Commerce, in Dawson, of the gold of the different creeks and gulches show plainly that marked dif- ferences as to fineness are distinctive qualities; at least they appear to be such at the present time. Thus while El Dorado and Bonanza gold generally assays but about $15.50 or $15.80 to the ounce, Dominion gold shows as high as $17.80 and Hunker close to $18.50; the gold of Bear creek, a minor tributary of the Klondike, is reported to actually give $19.20 to the ounce, falling only behind the almost pure specimens that have been reported from American creek and Mynook, and to which a valuation of nearly $20 has been given. —Popular Science Monthly. Coughing Properly. Few people know how to cough properly. In fact, it never occurs to the ordinary individual that there is any right way and any wrong way of doing it. Yet it is a matter of no small im- portance. If every sigh means a drop of blood out of the heart, as people say, every cough means some greater or less proportion of time knocked off one's life. Most people cough as loudly and for- cibly as they can. Some chronic coughers seem a bit proud ot the terri- ble noise they make. But it is a rather costly noise, for the simple reason that It tears and inflames the lungs. The lungs consist of an extraordi- nary delicate spongelike tissue which sometimes gets inflamed and choked With phlegm. When we try to get rid of this substance, we cough. But ob- viously if we remove it violently we must necessarily injure the delicate lung tissue. Therefore train yourself to cough as gently as possible. Atter a little prac- tice you will find it quite easy to do so. In that way you will do a minimum of 'mischief to the lungs and add years to your life. A Blue Urns.

The cosmscal theory, which may be said to be the most generally accepted by scientists at the present time, 1s substantially as follows: That the orig- inal nebulae in a vast space of time became condented by gravity and radi- ation into a semigaseous and semiliq- uid globe, and, cooling, caused a solid crust to form upon the surface. Steam and other gases which had been thrown off from the seething mass were precipitated in the form of water containing Immense quantities of solids in solution, these solids falling to the bottom of the liquid covering of the globe, and thus In ages, becoming a solid shell of primordial rock. Internal fires, still burning, heaved the weaker portions of that shell up tato stupen- dous mountain ranges, above the level of the waters. Continents were thug formed and reformed from the ma- terial ot those mountains by the later action of the waves and glaciers. Fol- lowing this, as an inevitable sequence, forms of vegetable life, which could cling to rock and derive their food from air, grew upon the barren land thus created, and higher vegetable ob- jects grew out of their lower predeces- sors, after which came higher vegeta- ble lite, that fed, lived and developed upon the life which preceded it.—New York Sun. Bells Rung by MY. An elaborate compressed air and electrical system for ringing the chimes in St. Patrick's cathedral, New York city, has recently been installed, and is operated by a single stage air com- pressor with a normal speed of 150 revolutions per minute, connected by gearing with an electric motor. The compressor works to a pressure of 80 pounds_ to the square Inch, and there are several reservoirs In which the alr is stored before It is admitted to the operating cylinders. The tongues of the bells are connected each with a cylinder, the clappers being double and balancing each other. The piston rod of the air cylinder is attached to a central stud projecting below the center of the clapper, and when the air is admitted to the cylinder the piston moves forward and a blow is struck. The weight of the clapper and a spring serve to bring it back to its normal po- sition. There is provided in the sac- risty of the cathedral a keyboard, where, by an electric circuit, electro magnets are excited, which open the air valves. The apparatus Is now be- ing adjusted, but so complete is the design in all its details that it will surely afford a most satisfactory meth- od of operating the chimes, which in- clude 19 bells, ranging in weight from 7,000 to 300 pounds.—New York Post. • Electric Railway Up Moat Bland The successful application of elec- tricity to so many mountain railways in Switzerland bas lately given rise to the discussion of an electric road to the s m i u rot! o Mont Blanc. The plan provides for a thnnel to enter the mountain just below a ridge that ex- tends along the side of the mountain, avoiding in this way the glaciers which do not pass over the ridge. The total length of the line will be about six miles, and It will run to a point about 800 feet below the actual summit, which consists of a mass of ice. The lower end will be constructed first, and it is the intention to have the workmen live In the tunnel and gradually become accustomed to working at the higher levels. Power to operate the railway will be furnished by a waterfall in the vicinity, and, as is the case with the most recent Swiss mountain railways, it will be of the rack and pinion type, electrically driven. The cost of the project is estimated at about $2,000,- 000.—Boston Transcript. Manna Hemp. It is worth noting in regard to the famous hemp produced exclusively in the Philippines that the plant yields, in fact, two qualities, with important in- dustrial or commercial adaptations in each case. From the best, or fibrous outer leaf, comes the coarse, strong fiber, which is the best material used for sallcloths and cordage, it being par- ticularly recommended by the fact that it Is not easily rotted by salt water. The fiber yielded by the inner stalks is fine and weak, and from it are woven textile fabrics superior in softness and lightness to those made of the best Russian hemp, these fabrics, however, being seldom exported, as they are bought by Chinese merchants at Ma- nila for local consumption. It le found that, under the best conditions, the Ma- nila hemp produces the very large quantity of 3,000 pounds of fiber to the acre, and, though between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 bales have been exported in the last ten years, the industry is admitted to be still in its infaney.-- New York Sun.

She, Too, Was of a Large Fasatly At a little informal married wo- men's luncheon out in Eckington the other afternoon, given by the hostess in honor of her "guest from the west," a dainty, languorous, black eyed wo- man under 80, the conversation switch- ed to the subject of large families. It appeared that most of the lunchers came from prolific families. Each ap- peared anxious to give her family's large tribal record for a considerable distance back, and none noticed the alarmed countenance of the hostess as the talk progressed. The hostess made many ineffectual efforts to signal the conversation to a standstill;kewise, she unavailingly endeavored 'to side track the large family theme. But it was no go, and it was finally up to her "guest from the west" to set forth the numerical contributions of her an- cestors to previous censuses. When the question was put to her directly, she exhibited nary a flinch, but, smil- ing languidly, remarked: "I am the youngest of 12 daughters%, and 18 brothers." "Impossible!" exclai ed all of the women except the hos ss, who con- templated th : figures, : n her fan with a draw • , dreary s .. e. "Nei at all," replied the guest. "You are perhaps unaware that 1 was born and reared in Salt Lake City." "Oh!" blankly exclaimed the other women. "Quite so!" Then the hostess experienced no dif- ficulty in shifting the current of talk into the weather channel.—Washing- ton Posta Pricing a Pair of Trou . Lord Brampton was on one occasion presiding over a case in which the plaintiff was giving evidence against a man who had stolen a pair of trousers from his shop. "Bow much were the trousers?" queried Hawkins. "Well," replied the plaintiff, "it de- pends who wants to buy them t sell them to one man for 30 shillings, to an- other for 25, but you can have them for 23 and 6." "Sir," cried Hawkins angrily, "1 want you to tell me how much those trousers are worth!" "Well," replied the plaintiff, "shall we say 22 shillings to you?" "Look here," thundered Hawkins, "if you do not instantly tell me what those trousers are worth, I'll send you to jail for 14 days for contempt of court" "Well, well!" replied the frightened plaintiff conciliatingly, "you may have them for a guinea. I'm giving them away; still you may have them at that price." Even the stern aspect of Judge Hawkins could not stop the roar of laughter which broke out on hearing the reply, a roar in which Hawkins, after a few minutes, joined himself. Snake Eat Snake. A sight was witnessed one day at the Zoo that has been the talk of the people managing the animals of the garden ever since. Keeper Myers, who has charge of the snake cages, was about to feed the reptiles, when, to his horror, he saw one blacksnake meas- uring six feet devouring its mate, which was about the same length and size of Itself. The reptile had swal- lowed its fellow head first, and only n foot and a halt still remained outside its mouth. It was lying quietly, and about once every 30 seconds a swal- lowing motion would seize it, when as much as two inches of its meal would disappear. Myers opened the cage and, grabbing the powerless snake by the tail, began tugging away to release it. This proved to be no easy task, as the cannibalistically inclined monster had a firm hold on its breakfast. Aft- er several minutes of pulling that brought the perspiration out on the keeper the snake was set at liberty. For a time it seemed paralyzed, but gradually regained its strength.—Cin- cinnati Enquirer. His "Ah, Hortense," he cried, "1 cannot give you up.

AUG. 26th, 1899. It is stated that about twenty-five per vent of the teachers failed to pass the recent state examinations, and twenty per cent additional are iu the doubtful class. or short in a single study. The latter will be given pro- bation certificates, good for one year, with au opportunity to make up their deficiencies. This showing is not a very flattering one, hut it clearly demonstrates the wisdom of placing the entire matter in charge of the superintendent of public instruction. A teacher with a marking of less than sixty in the common branches has no business iv the schools of Minnesota. St. Paul, Stillwater, St. Cloud, and Red Wing have followed the lead of Minneapolis, and it is probable that the sale of $1 badges will realize a sufficient fund to pay for the return of the Thirteenth Regiment from San Francisco without diminution of the liberal travel pay allowed by the government. This plan is far prefer- able to that of raising money upon notes, and besieging ,the legislature to protect the signers from personal loss in the transaction. The Thirteenth Regiment is a Min- nesota institution, not the exclusive property of St. Paul, Minneapolis, St. Cloud, Stillwater, or Red Wing, from which towns the various com- panies were enrolled. The rank and file came from all parts of the state, the smaller communities are respond- ing promptly and liberally to the calls for transportation funds, and will likewise share in the general rejoicing over the safe return of our boys from the firing line. alinneSota Journalism.

The Manchester Ship Canal. One of the most interesting and profitable side trips of the recent edi- torial party in Europe was that down the ship canal from Manchester to Liverpool, per invitation of the com- pany, whose guests we were on this memorable llth day of July, 1899. The steamship -Hare, bound for Dub- lin, had been -kindly placed at our disposal, and at nine a. m. we were welcomed on board by Mr. J. K. Bythell, chairman and managing di- rector, Sir W. H. Bailey, one of the founders and directors, Mr. A. H. Whitworth, secretary and Mr. Walton Smith and Mr. G. Needham, members of the city council. It was raining steadily, and by the way it sometimes does rain in Manchester, but by the time the vessel had fairly gotten un- der way the downfall of moisture ceased, and the spirits of the passen- gers rose quite visibly. A landing was made ht Mode Wheel to inspect the admirable manner of receiving and caring for foreign animals when landed upon the docks. Its capacity is three thousand cattle, and all the appliances are right in line with our largest pirking houses. As a specimen Of modern engineer- ing• the cafadl compares most favora- bly with similar and well known en- terprises, and was primarily under- taken in 1883 for the relief of the im- mense manufacturing and agricultural interests, in which six millions of people are directly or indirectly con- cerned. It is not proposed to borz the reader with statistics; in a gener- al way it may be stated that the length is thirty-six miles; average surface width one hundred and seven- ty-two feet; bottom width one hun- dred and twenty feet; depth twenty- six feet; cost over £15,000,000. The construction occupied eight years of digging acid dredging, of blasting through solid rock for miles, and the building of massive embankments and sea walls under difficulties aud dis- couragements of which the casual ob- server has only the faintest concep- tion. There are four principal locks, six hundred by sixty-five feet, to overcome the sixty foot fall between the starting point and tide water, and another at Eastham communi- cating directly with the River Mersey. Other objects of interest are the numerous and costly bridges, the mammoth grain elevator, the segue - duct carrying oiter the Bridgewater Canal, the five huge railway viaducts, the subway convoying the Liverpool water su 1h pp.), t e coal tips, the syphons through which pass the River Gowy, and the ship repairing yard. All these were pointed out and thoroughly explained by our en- thusiastic hosts, with details far beyond a single article. They must be seen to be thoroughly appreciated. The formal opening took place Jan. 1st, 1594, by the Queen in person, and the volume of business is fully up to the expectations of the public spirited promoters. The docks, ware- houses, and equipments at Manches- ter are upon a most liberal scale, with a view of handling an enormous traffic at a minimum expense. Lines of steamers have been projected to every known country, the ton - age and receipts nearly doubled in the first three years, and the direct results have been moat perceptible in each of the one hundred and seventy towns which banded them- selves together in a life and death struggle against corporate greed and selfishness. Still the vast undertak- ing is yet in its infancy. What the future may bring forth even the more sanguine can scarcely prognosticate. At one p. m, a bountiful lunch was served in the saloon with all the ac- companiments: imaginable. It was the finest spread enjoyed abroad. Sir W. H. Bailey presided at the head of the table, And the toasts and re- sponses were illpromptu and appro- priate to the occasion.

It non 4000 Character, and Was In- vented by a Missksaary. The ROY. D. Z. Sheffleldt,of the Amer - Board Mission, president of the ho college for Chinese students, New York Press, has invented for the Chinese. language consists of at ch i<eaoters, and a careful q of the classical works as well spoken language hashown Dot, more than 5,000 are in general while 4,000 are ample for altpost purpose. The typewriter wh ' = Wield invented writes this �. The 4,000 characters are g'to iia alphabetical order, according to their accepted spelling in English, ,a large -number of those most commonly used being placed in a separate group regardless of spelling. The type are can on the under part of a large wheel, the upper side of which is covered with printed characters, eaob one exactly over the type it represents. The carriage moves freely to the right or left, and projecting from it is a pointer to locate the characters to be printed. The wheel is revolved with the left baud until the group or line in which the desired characters to be fount is opposite the carriage, and the carriage is then moved with the right hand to the right or left until the pointer covers the character sought for. To the right is a crank, one turn of which inks the type, while a small hammer forces the paper against the type, leaving a clear impression. The type wheel locks during the printing and is automatically corrected if slight- ly out of place, the characters being brougbt into perfect alignment. The mechanism performs the operation of spacing, etc., as in other machines. When it is considered that the writ- ten oharacters consist of from 2 to 25 strokes, which even the best Chinese 1pgolar writes slowly, as they handle the brush delicately, and that a char- acter signifies not a letter, but a whole word, It will readily be seen that Dr. Sheffield's machine saves a great amount of time and labor, while it of- fers the advantages of other machines —namely, uniformity, accuracy, exact spacing and neat work.

Penney, of Minneap- olis. The programme consisted of dancing, games, etc., and refresh- ments were served. , Miss Mamie C. Finch was awarded the prize for mak- ing a gentleman's hat and F. W.

Wilcox has bought a lot on the lower levee, west of Warsop's foundry, from the John Dudley estate, and is building an ice house, thirty-two by eighty, twenty feet posts, with a capacity of fifteen hun- dred tons. It will be filled next win- ter from Lake Rebecca and the river, for the city trade. The Pauline will bring up an ex- cursion from Red Wing on Sunday in connection with the base ball game between the nines of the two cities. In the evening a moonlight excursion will be given from this city to that place, leaving Hastings at half past six. Round trip tickets twenty-five cents, including dancing. A. L. Johnson has bought the Niedere building on Second Street, and Johnson & Greiner the stock of the Hastings Hardware Company, possession to be given Oct. 20th. It will look like old times to see this firm back in business again, after being out since 1889. They were thirteen years together at the corner of Fourth and Vermillion Streets. The Henrietta pulled out yesterday morning for St. Paul ten minutes ahead of the advertised hour, leaving over a hundred disappointed excur- sionists upon the levee and the atmosphere filled with red headed ex- pletives. This manner of doing business is hardly calculated to in- crease the popularity of the boat in this vicinity. There were over two hundred on time, and fifty-five of those left behind took the train rather than lose the day's outing. Obituary. Mr. Charles Marschall, a well known farmer of Vermillion, died on Saturday from cancer of the stom- ach after a long illness, aged about fifty-six years. He was a native of Luxemborg, Germany, and had been a resident of -the former town over twenty years. He leaves two sons and four daughters, Henry and Ma- thias, of Vermillion, Mrs. John Wie- derhold and Mrs. Charles Gerlach, of Douglas, Mrs. Christian Wagner, of Vermillion, and Miss Margaretha Marschall, of Shakopee. His wife, formerly Miss Margaret Ilubley, died some fourteen years ago. He has two sisters, Mrs. Jacob Mamer, of Vermillion, and one in France, and a brother, Peter Marschall, of this city. The funeral was held ,from St. John's Church, Vermillion, on Mon- day, at ten a. in., the Rev. Boniface Moll officiating. John M., infant son of Mr. and Mrs. John Clark, of Denmark, died Sunday evening after a brief illness, aged eleven and a half months. The funeral was held from the house on Tuesday, at half past one p. m., with interment in the cemetery of the Church of the Guardian Angels. Luverne T. Pryor, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Pryor, died at Asbury Hospital, Minneapolis, on Tuesday, at one a. m. He was born at Castle Rock, April 23d, 1877, and his life was spent in the home of his birth among the friends and acquaintances of his childhood. He was the life and light of the household, a leader among bis classmates and playmates. Life had no clouds for him, his bright intelligence and sunny disposition brought happiness to himself and those with whom he came in contact. None could know without loving him. How many hopes he buried with him none can tell save those whose hearts are now bleeding. Well may it be said that "death loves a shining mark." He died when life was in its springtime, when it gave promise of a glorious morrow. In the morning "The spoiler came and all thy promise fair. Hath sought the grave to sleep for- ever there." Base Ball. The game between Hastings and the St. Paul Athletics last Sunday afternoon was a good sample of ball and greatly enjoyed by a large number of spectators. The home team won easily by a score of eight to two, the visitors being shut out up to the seventh inning. The victory was due to the excellent pitching of George Carisch and the superb bat- ting and fielding of the home nine. Fred Carisch, catcher, dislocated a finger in the third inning, and was relieved by Harry Ehing. It was an errorless game for Hastings. The following is the score: HASTINGS. O. R. ATHLETICS, 0. R.

Benter, of Duluth, and Miss Tillie J. Kirchner, of this city, were married at St. John's Church Wednesday, at four p. m., the Rev. Jacob Schadegg officiating. Miss Elizabeth A. Feyler was brides- maid, and Mr. A. J. St. Onge, of St. Paul, best man, with Miss May Horak as flower girl. An informal reception was held at the residence of the groom's sister, Mrs. J. Z. Horak, on east Third Street, the occasion proving a most happy one. The bride is well known here, and the groom is a lineman of the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany. They left on the evening train upon a wedding trip to Wabasha, accompanied by the hearty congratu- lations of a host of friends. They will make Duluth their future home. Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this country-, "Disease Tautened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessant- ly, and could not sleep.

JABE WON THE BELL YET HIS FACE WAS HOMELY ENOUGH TO SCARE CHILDREN. He Had Given tp All Hope of Ever Getting a Wife Until He .Acciden- tally Learned His Power, and Then He Got Mighty Particular. "I reckon Jabe Hawkins was about the ugliest man the Lord ever let live," said Uncle Ben as he meditatively whetted his knife upon his boot leg. "I've knowed strangers to roller that man around for a half hour jest to git another look at his face an then go right off an take a drink o' Maker. Seemed to kind o' give 'ecu a relish for it. I've knowed fool women to scare their children Into spasms by threaten - in to give 'ecn to Jabe, • an they do say he's been the cause o' more than one runaway. IIe was jest plzeu ugly, an that's all they was to it. It was a durn pity, too, because he was a mighty nice man if you happened to meet him in the dark, au he had money In the bank at Maple Run an 80 acres o' as_ fine bottom laud as ever felt a plow. "Well, in spite o' him beln so blame homely that he dassent look a woman in the face, this yorecuss was always wantin to git married, but, o' course, they wan't no way to .get at It. He advertised some to the city paper an writ letters to lots o' women that way, but he was honest to the core, an when the thing got along fur enough so's they might anything come o' it he al- ways sent his photograph, an that end- ed It. "Onset they was a mighty likely widow from way back east that got to iikin Jabe purty well through his let- ter writin, an 1 must say he was a good hand at that, before he sent his pickshur. After studyin over his line- ments for a couple o' months she made up her mind to come on anyhow, but when she ackshully saw Jabe In the flesh she backed out an married Si Pe- ter, an she made him a mighty fine wife, barrin the fact that she had a 20 -year-old son that bobbed up after the ceremony 'an turned out to be as shiftless as it's possible fur a man to git au live. "Then Jabe Bits desperit, an he up an offers a hundred dollars reward to any- body as will git him a pardner. But that didn't amount to much. Ole Dud Harris 'lowed he'd make his oldest girl, Mirandy, the oue that bad the harelip, jine him, an Jabe, knowin his own shortcomin's, was satisfied to git anybody most, but Mirandy took epileptic fits an died before the weddin come off, an folks all aroun said it was a judgment on Dud. "Then Jim Damm brung aroun his half witted girl, an Jabe studied a long while over it, thinkin rnebby that If they was goin to be children come with his ugliness they'd better be fools, too, so's they wouldn't realize it. The girl seemed to take a fancy to Jabe right away an wanted to kiss hien, but be changed his mind right off, properly decidin that he couldn't stand auybody that was as big a fool as that. "Things was this -a -way when there was a hypnotlzer come through Maple Run an give a show, an he asked for people to come up ..on the platform an be hypnotized. Everybody most was afraid to go till Jabe made the break, sayin it didn't matter much what be- come o' him nohow, an then fire more went up like they alluz do. "Well, the minit this here hypnotist took hold o' Jabe's bead an tilted it back to git a good look in his eyes he give a funny little jump an says: "'I can't do nothin with you. Why, man, you may not know it, but you got more power than I have. If you fix them fine blue eyes o' your'n on anybody, they just nachelly have to do what you say.' "Then he let Jabe go an made Wash Difns fight bumblebees an preten' he was a dog an do the most outlandish things you ever heard of. I gosh, It was funny, an he made some o' the others act up, too, but none so much as ole Wash, an the next day he went away. "But he made a mighty big change 113 Jabe's life. Y'see up to this time Jabe allus dropped his eyes every time he see a woman comm, an the woman allus • looked the other way. But now Jabe made up his mind to -try It, an so he looked, an all the women knowed about it, so they looked, an they found out that them eyes was mighty line if you looked at 'eon so keen you couldn't see the rest o' his face. They was mostly scared, too, since they heard as bow Jabe was a hypnotlzer if he way wanted to be that -a -way; but, o' -aeurse, that only made 'em look all the "First of , Jabe didn't have the sand to look at t e best lookin girls, but only the home! ones, an it wasn't two weeks till be could o' had his choice o' a dozen girls. You see, they got to talkin to Ulm an studyin thein eyes o' biss'u, an fust thing they knowed they was hankerin after 'em. But Jabe got partic'lar. They was a time when he'd been tickled to death to have any girl that wore dresses keep comp'ny with him, but he kep' raisin his idees every day till fln'ly he sot his mind on winnin Iletty Allen, that was the blamedest purtiest girl in the whole country an had a dozen fine lookin fellers with good horses an buggies an some land tryin to court her, an blame if he didn't git her. An the funniest part of it all as that there ain't no purtier young tins anywhere than them seven chil- dren o' Jabe's. An they all got blue eyes, every one of 'em, an the rest is like their mother."

Women Usually Indulge In the H and I Braud—A Laugh That Won Napoleon a Battle. Since the days of Adam, who is said to have invented laughter when he awoke and saw Eve by his side, no two people have laughed alike. The laugh is as distinct as the voice Women laugh differently from men children from women; indeed, even the laugh of a full bearded man is dif ferent from that which he laughs when he has shaved. The Abbe Damasceai thought he bad discovered in the various enunclations of laughter a sure guide to the tem peraments of the laughers. Thus he said "Ha! ha! hal" belonged . to a choleric person; "He! he! he" to a phlegmatic one, and "Ho! bo! ho!" to the sanguine. And It Is a scientific fact that, while men commonly laugh in A and 0, women •usually laugh in E and L Those who practice laughing to any extent have been divided wittily into dimplers—and to know how charming they can be one has only to go back to Charles Reade's "Simpleton With a Dimple"—smilers, grinners, horse laughers and sneerers. This Is to lay down a science of laughing, for which there might have been need had our generals in the late war taken up the idea of old Bulow, who proposed to form troops, in face of the enemy, in line of battle and order them to ad- vance with their arms at a shoulder and salute the foe with ringing bursts of laughter. "Be sure," said Bulow, "that your opponents, surprised and dismayed at this astonishing salute, would turn about and run off." Perhaps this scheme would not work now, while the present long range ar- tillery is used; but, as a matter of feet. It is related that the Mamelukes once turned tail from an assault upon the French in Egypt on hearing the roar of laughter with which Napoleon's veterans greeted the _command, "Form in squares, asses and men of science In the center." Great men often have fancied it a part of greatness to refrain from hilar- ity. Philip IV of Spain is said to have laughed only once in his life. That was when his bride, Anne of Austria, wept at hearing that the queens of Spain had no feet. She took with Ger- man literalness an old piece of Spanish courtesy. As she was journeying to- ward Spain some German nuns met her and desired to present some stock- ings of their own knitting. The worthy princess was about to accept the gift when a Spanish grandee of her suit in- terfered with the remark that it would be against etiquette, as the queens of Spain were not supposed to have any use for stockings, whereat the princess began to weep, understanding, poor woman, that on her arrival in Spain her feet would be cut off. Lord Chesterfield said, "Nobody has seen me laugh since 1 have come to my reason," and Congreve makes his Lord Froth in the "Double Dealer" say, "When I laugh, I always laugh alone." Young people and fools laugh easily, says an old proverb, which often bas proved true. Nevertheless the singer Robert gave lessons In laughter in Paris and in Lon- don in 1805, and, so far at least as filling his own purse went, with suc- cess. He held that men and women could not laugh "decently and sys- tematically" without proper training and said that a person who could laugh only in one tone seemed to him like one who could say only out and non, but that a trained laughter should ex- press many things. It is a curious fact that It is only among the French and among the an- cients that we read of people laughing themselves to death. We, In our days, must have either more jokes or a dull- er appreciation of wit. Zenais Is said to have died of laughing at a painting of an old woman, his own handiwork. Philemon expired laughing at a donkey who ate so contentedly the philoso- pher's figs that, with his last articulate breath, be sent out his last glass of wine to the beast, who drank It with equal enjoyment and thus proved him- self, it would seem, not such a donkey after all It remains true, however, that laugh- ter is good for the health. "Laugh ane, grow fat" is the old proverb. Syden- ham maintained that the arrival of a clods in a village was as wholesome as that of 20 donkeys laden with drugs. Tissot, the famous French physician. cured consumption and liver com- plaints by causing his patients to laugh, and Erasmus, through Immoder- ate laughter at the rude Latin of Hut - ten's "Letters of Obscure Men," broke an internal abscess which had long plagued him. "Wlalkn man smiles, and much more when he laughs, It adds something to his fragment of life," said Sterne, who wished laughter enumerated in the ma- teria medica, holding it as a curative of the same kind as coughing, sneez- ing and perhaps vomiting, only much pleasanter than any of these. HASTINGS, MINN., SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 2, 1899. The Mint Melting Pet. "Yes, we reclve lots of things that I we hate to see go into the melting pot," said an old mint attache. "Folks in financial stress bring Uncle Sam all manner of heirlooms which are 1 bought over the counter for their nak- ed weight in gold or silver bullion. t Art or antiquity don't count at the mint, and a candelabra by Benveauto Cellini himself wouldn't bring more than a lump of raw metal fresh frons "the smelter. We get plate of every description. old watch cases, rings, chains, snuff boxes, spectacle frames and jewelry mounts without number. "In this section of the south there are several speculators who make a business of traveling through the rural - districts and buying up all the old gold and silver they can find. They are ex- pects In judging of the fineness of metal, and they pay as little as they can, so there must be a big profit In the trade. As a rule, the stuff they bring us and that finds Its way here through other channels is old and bro- ken and uninteresting, but now and then something of rare artistic value turns up in the lot, and we would be only too glad to take it out and make good the coin value, but the law for- bids. "That, by the way, is 110 doubt the very reason why we occasionally get such articles. People who are poor and proud would rather have the Iden- tity of their relics lost forever In the melting pot than run the risk of ex- posing their straits by leaving them with the pawnbrokers."—New Orleans Times -Democrat. That's the Way It Feels. A wee maiden had the misfortune to fall down stairs the other day, and that part of the anatomy commonly denominated the "funny bone" came in contact with the wall. On being pick- ed up and asked it she was hurt, she rubbed her arm for a moment and ;said, "No, but my elbow is awful dizzy."—Union Signal A Good Place to Leave. "The Indians of Mexico," says a cor- respondent of Forest and Stream, "know nothing of the laws of conta- gion. They display an apathy toward certain loathsome diseases which sur- prises a foreigner. "In a recent hunting trip in the Sier- ra of Pueblo our party of eight was descending toward Zacapoaxtla. We rode leisurely, for the trail was nar- row and hemmed in by Indian huts. At the door of one of these stood a woman and a little girl. We stopped to inquire the way, when the follow- ing conversation took place: "'Good morning, senora.' "'A very good morning, at your or- ders, senor.' "'This is the road to Zacapoaxtla, is it not?' "'You are quite right. senor.' "'And is it very far?' "'On the contrary, it is a very little ways.' "'A thousand tnanks for your kind- ness, senora.' "'There is nothing for which to offer them. senor.' "'Is the little girl sick, senora? "'She is a little sick, senor.' What Is thematter with her? "'She has the smallpox, senor.' "'Ah, good day, senora!' " Hard to Get one. An English woman who has been traveling in Russia seems to have found it easier to get in than to get out of the czar's country. She sent her pass- port to the authorities before starting in order to have It vised and then blithely made for the frontier. Arriving there, she was immediately detained and taken before the powers that not only 'be, but also do, at the Russian frontier. Here she was in- formed that her passport did not per- mit her to leave the country and that she would be obliged to make herself comfortable while the police found out all she had done while to the country. At first she was rather pleased at the thought of how she would tell her friends about it when she got home. But when she found that she had to pay not only for her room, her meals. service and all that sort of thing. but also for long telegrams which the au- thorities were exchanging in regard to her case, her pleasure dwindled as rap- idly as her funds did. She finally got off, however, but without receiving any apology or any reimbursement.—New York Sun. The Dumdum Bullet. The dumdum bullet secured its name from the Indian arsenal by whose officers it was devised, and tho name should not be spelled In two words or even hyphenized, as a great many people appear to think. Dum- dum 1s a town and a military station about tour miles northeast of Cal- cutta It was the experience in the Sudan and also In the Spanish-American war that the new magazine rifles, whose 'man calibers give them greater ac- curacy -and greater carrying power than the old weapons, were faulty In one important particular. The small caliber bullets have slight effect on those struck by them, and it was to obviate this difficulty that the dumdum bullet was devised. This bul- let is one from which part of the nickel or copper covering is removed, so that the force of the impact spreads the soft lead, making a missile that inflicts a severe, shat.ering wound. On her wedding day the Danish peas- ant girl wears a simple crown of11 u. tie with her national costume—varying with the district, but always charming —and pots of myrtle are carefully cherished by girlish bands through the long winters in anticipation of the great event Pasting and Disease.

SI per Year fa Advance. ea per Year it net fa Advance. Its Overwhelming Hteet Open aa Aserteaa Tourist. "There 1e no doubt that Gibraltar 1s, from the nature of Its location, the strongest fortified spot on earth," said a recently returned tourist, "but the English o®cere who are on duty there seem impressed with the idea that there is some weak spot about the place and that some American may discover it. They have very nonsensi- cal rules and regulations governing the fortification, and one of them Is that no American can be admitted to the fortified places, thougb they are al- lowed to wander all around the outride as long as they care to "I do not think the combined guns of the rest of the world, all working to- gether and for 12 hours each day. Sun- days and public holidays included, for 0110 year. could seriously interfere with Gibraltar beyond cutting off the mail communication. The wails are solid rock a quarter of a mile thick, and such a thing as doing any damage to a military sense would be simply non- sense. Gibraltar could resist any at- tack, and the conditions there are such that the attacking party would neces- sarily have to be exposed in making its attack. This exposure would have to be within range of the guns of the tort, even it they are 50 years out of date. Consequently they would be nearly as effective as modern guns, for with all that is claimed for modern warfare there probably never will be any fighting done when the opposing parties are out of sight of each other. "While all this 1s admitted by mili- tary men of all countries, it seems funny that there should be anything of a secret or hidden character about Gibraltar that Americans should not be allowed to inspect as freely as the people of other countries are. Eng- land may be whipped some time In the history of the world, but the defeat will not take place at Gibraltar, I as- sure you."—Washington Star. SCENERY FOR A NEW PLAY. Ito Preparation to Modern Theaters an Interesting Process. The preparation for a Dew play, as far as the scenery it concerned, Is most Interesting. A complete model in min- iature is made. about the sire of one of the German toy theaters seen In the shops. The picture Is carefully painted; the rock, If there be any, and the foliage are cut out. and all the details are followed with no less thought than when the real affair is attacked. The work 1s done in water color, mounted on pasteboard, and It the scheme be an interior there are real curtains in miniature, fights of steps, and the hangings, all seriously worked out.

School Notes. The week preceding the opening of schcol is always a busy one for the superintendent, teachers, and janitors, and this year, as might be expected, is far from being an exception. Dur- ing the past two or three weeks active preparations have been in progress preliminary to the opening of school. Nearly all of the old desks have been repaired, stained, and varnished so that now they present quite a respect- able appearance. The Bryant build- ing has been fitted up to tempore' fly accomodate the high schc '1 until the new building is completed. The two rooms in the old woodshed building have been .equipped to furnish quar- ters for the upper classes under Misses Kate M. Kranz and Elizabeth O. Schurch. Supt. Kunze has re -catalogued the entire text book library, and adopted a system which will enable him at any time to ascertain what pupil is or has been using any particular book. In this way pupils who are negligent in the care of books loaned to them can readily be detected and held responsi- ble for any damage done. The grade teachers hare been busy during the past two days taking ex- aminations. This morning they all meet with the superintendent to dis- cuss plans for the coming year. This afternoon Supt. Kunze meets the high school teachers to arrange the work of the high ache. )I. Next Monday being Labor Day, the opening of school will be deferred until Tuesday. Owing to the lack of ram and accommodations, most of the lower grades will not be able to commence until about Oct. 1st, when the new building will be sufficiently completed to permit the opening of several class rooms.

An examination of the records relative to insane cases show that from Jan. 1st, 1891, to July 1st, 1899, there were eighty-two persons ex- amine;] on charges of insanity in the probate court of Dakota County. Of this number there were eleven ex- amined in 1891; five in 1892; ten in 1893; twelve in 1894; eleven in 1895; nine in 1896; thirteen in 1897; five in 1898; and six in the first six months of 1899. Of the whole num- ber examined there were eleven discharged after examination, -sun I seventy-one were committed to the asylum. Of this number thirteen died there; twenty-six were legally discharged; and thirty-two are yet in the asylum. Of the whole number examined twenty-nine were American botn; fifty=twoNforeign barn, and one whose birth place could not be ascer- tained. Of the whole number born in America seventeen were from Minnesota; three from Illinois; three from Pennsylvania; one from Con- necticut; one from Vermont; one from Wisconsin; one from Ohio; one from New York; and one from Canada. Of the foreign born persons examined twenty-eight were from Germany; seven from Norway; five from Swe- den; four from Ireland; four from England; one from France; one from Austria; one from Scotland; and one from Denmark. Of the whole num- ber examined fifty-one were males and thirty-one females. Last Thursday L. J. Gjeinse, of Hader, b :ought a calf to Kenyon that is indeed a cuiosity.

There was always a profusion of old fashioned blossoms in the garden that sloped from the little white house to the water's edge. My early recollection of It Is of a spot where the sun shone more brightly than elsewhere. The mingled scents of the flowers and the salt sea are as fresh and sweet as the story that was enacted here years ago. Mettle was the maid'to Miss Priscilla and her sister, Miss Miriam, who dwelt In the cottage then. When little more than a child she was "taken home" by the two elderly spinsters, who dealt most kindly by the orphan from that day. The Misses Lorimer were spoken of as "very genteel ladles," although their antecedents were unknown. They had settled in the fishing hamlet when both were still comparatively young, but they had always maintained a marked reserve and had mixed little with the inhabitants. On the day Mettle learned some- thing of the past and realized fully the precarious future of her old ladies lite became an astounding, but, above all, a stern reality to her. A letter came that morning addressed in strange hand to Miss Lorimer. The post mark was "London"—that laroff place associated in Mattle's mind with pavements of gold and the palatial homes of wealthy bankers. It was there the banker lived who was own brother to the Misses Lorimer. Mettle banded the letter to Miss Priscilla where she sat at the head of the frugal but dainty breakfast table, and left the room. The door was all but closed when she heard her mis- tress cry: "He is dead, Miriam! Oh, Miriam, George is dead 1" The distress in the voice she loved held Mettle. "What!" cried Miss Miriam. "No, no; it is not possible. The debt! God would not call him home before his work was done!" "His work Is done. The last of the debt was cleared a week ago," Miss Priscilla answered with a forced calm that hurt the listener more than ber poignant cry. The letter rustled in the old lady's trembling fingers with the sound of autumn leaves in the wintry wind, and Miss Miriam's low moaning intensified the effect of sudden storm and disaster. "George gone, George gone! And be the youngest! We have nobody note. What will become of us?" Fear made the last words faint. "We have God," said Priscilla. "You do not say 'Our Father!' " Miriam's voice bad hardened strangely. "Don't, sister, don't!" cried the elder quickly. "Your bitterness gives him another wrong to answer for at the last judgment—and he has surely enough." "Poor father! You are right, sister." A sorrowful silence fell on the sunny room, the windows of which faced the south and the sea. The thoughts of the sisters were in- communicable even to each other. "We have not seen George for 25 years," Miriam remarked after a time. "Aye, he grudged the expense of the long journey—dear :addle!" Priscilla's voice broke In a dry sob, but neither of the sisters had shed a tear. They would not mourn too grievously the brother whose life had been so noble in their eyes in its stern devotion to a blgh ideal of rectitude. Besides, they bad known a worse sorrow than such a death as George Lorimer's could bring. "What does the lawyer say about— about his circumstances?" It was Miriam who put the anxious question. She was one of those timid women who live in constant fear of destitution —they who are Instinctively conscious, poor things, of their Incapacity. "He had a decent burial, and—and there seems to be a little over—enough to do our turn." "Thank God!" It was at this moment the little maid outside the door burst Into uncontrol- lable weepin;, and the elder of the sis- ters rose fro n her place and followed her to the kitchen. Through 1. Jr tears -the girt saw how Miss Priscilla's expression altered when alone with her—it had turned to one of blan despair. "Mottle," .he whispered. "I must tell ter and I will be hard put to it not to starve. My brother Is dead. have nothing to depend on for a liv —nothing and nobody." "You've me," quoth Mattie bruaq "We'll not be able to afford ase ant now, Mattie," said the old very sorrowfully. "You'U have a servant. Miss Prise la, as long as I've a pair of bands do your work-" And for no reasoning of Miss cilia's would Mattie budge an 1 from her decision. Mise Lorimer bad a feeble consti tion, and the shock of her brother andden death made a chronic lav of ber. Miss Miriam was almost helpless in ber way, and It 1s bard tell what would have become of sisters had It not been for Mettle. 8 was their sole support, but tho remar able thing Is that nobody knew It e cept poor old Miss Priscilla berme The girl guarded her mistresses' pr as carefully as if it were her own. As soon as possible Mettle started the various all $ndustrles by wbleb she managed to keep the pot b for three. The little white house longed to the sisters, and that lessened ber difficulties somewhat Still It no llght task she had undertaken was at work early and late and w withal the cheeriest Utile woman y would meet in a day's march. To the villagers who quizzed be rn about her industry and her ea! she declared she was 'laying by" her "providing" --she was not minded to be a portionless bride. Her visits to the neighboring tow with supplies of fruit and vegetabl for the market had set the gossl agog, and they bad many dark bin to make regarding her honesty. W the girl invaded their own groun however, and began to buy and retal the creels of fief, the sight of he depravity could no Longer be endured and they went In a deputation to in form and caution the old ladies. The only bad effect of the ignoran Interference of these busybodies was make Miss Miriam more intolerant private of "Mattie's eccentrlcltiea" a little suspicion that the girl w greedy. Mattle's Indefatigable one became a source of irritation to th delicate old maid, who bad not th key to it, and poor Miss Priscilla', flee of mediator was not always sinecure. But they melds" quarrel outright, tor Mattie rarely forgot Miss Miriam had been "kept 1n dark," and, besides, she had a tactfu way with ber. Scenes like the follow ng were of frequent occurrence. bow ver. Mattle's bright face would loo round the sitting room door of a mornss M Ing. "Oh, Miiriam, if you're no too busy, would you mind plucking few young peas? I must finish t washing, but I would like to take them o the market today. They're scarce.' Miss Miriam would continue to nib - le the end of her quill pen reflectively. She 1. seated at ber desk. It is Missm irla's belief that she bas the poetic gift. and her time is much occupied in is exercise.) "It's such a lovely morning," says Mattie persuasively. "Dear, dear! If you only knew what means to be disturbed at such mo - ental But you have no taet, no con- ideration; you will never learn, Mat - r' cries the lady pettishly. "I'm so sorry, ma'am, but the peas will so soon be past their best. and"— "The peas, indeed! And what of my deals? If I do not pluck them when they are ripe, they wither also." "But think of the price they'll etch!" cries the maid. ber mind upon e peas. "The price! Thank goodness, I have ever put my gift to base uses—and ever will! Mattie.

It was during the Sat winter -a se - ere one, as luck would hate It—that attle had her hardest struggle to p the wolf from the door. She bad t yet started the little poultry farm hick yielded ber a tolerable income ter on. The garden was empty, save or the small household supply of wln- e tar potatoes. Fruits. flowers and vege- biea were no longer available, and he millings and catches of the fishing eet were most Irregular. In spite of girl's efforts to earn enough by her needle, the pinch of want was felt In e little home. It was Miss Prisctlla'a intul anxiety on account of her ter and Mattie that roused the latter her utmost endeavor. She bethought r of a plan, and straightway entered to a compact with a cousin ot hers, young fisherman, who bad shown inself very friendly toward her of te. He mous to lend her his cobble of night to go a-fisbing in the firth on er own account. and he would have a percentage of ber winnings. She made stipulations that be was not to k of the transaction to any one, d that he would row the boat to the ter gate of her garden when she wanted it. The plan worked well. and Mattie /pent many a long nour on tine cola, waters atter ber old ladits were ely disposed of fer the night. Meanwhile It had dawned upon the vy but calculating brain of Peter a sun, Mattle's cousin, that the girl would make a desirable wife; she was active and so well gathered, if re - rt spoke truly. Peter was not an t favored fellow, Mettle, being one of those who are keenly sensitive to kindness, felt most ndly disposed toward him. She was free from self interest herself that was the last thing she suspected in rs. Before long Peter spoke of marriage. e girl received hie proposal en- uragingly, but told him she was not to marry so long as the old ladles red.

I had to spare poor Miriam, but that was a falsehood I told her." "You may call it that, ma'am! I don't." Andttie set her lips in a de- termined warsshe had, while a look of loving admiration shone through her tears. "I'm afraid you don't understand, Mettle," continued Miss Priscilla, speaking with painful effort. "My sip this was anything more than a whim As the weeks passed, however, a his persuasions were of no avail move Mettle from ber resolve, he came very angry in secret.

"There wIl be a fine stir at the cottage when th Misses Lorimer wake up and wan their breakfast," he added craftily. At this Mettle sprang to her feet an stretched across to grasp the ancho rope. but be held her off. Then be taunted her with her powerlessness. She confided to me long afterwardrt that she knew the soof despairing rage that tempts a being in extremity to take the Ute of another. Peter drove her back to the seat she bad quitted. Then she shipped the oars Into the rowlocks and strove with all her might to drag the boat from Its moorings, but it was useless. "Come, Mattie, be a sensible woman for once and give In. It beats me to know what you make such a to do for." Mattle's answer was a cry of despair. It was that t heard as 1 was returning to the coast guard station after my night's round of inspection. Mettle's despair was not unfounded. What was the use of telling this man the true facts of the case— that the poor old ladles had nobody to look to but her? He would only sneer. She need not throw herself upon Itis gen- erosity; be had none. He was hard as flint Ile would keep his word in spite of all she could say or do. Day- light would find ber here if she did not promise. Codd she promise—for their sakes? But would it be best for them In the end? That question saved Mat- tle. She saw so clearly that the wife of Peter Small would have little power to minister to others. "You can stay here till doomsday, Peter, but you'll never get me to say I'll marry you. That Idea 1s gone, once and for an. i've changed my opinion of you this night as 1—as I never thought to"— Her words ended In a sob. Peter's anger rose. He began to threaten and to bully her, thinking probably that her tears betokened a weakness that demanded such treat - meat But he was struck dumb of a sudden by the sound of approachingrs osi "Ahoy. there!"

A Fad Wbieb the Amateur May Ear. fly Adopt. One of the newest photographic fads of this photographic age is the making of two portraits of a sitter on one plats simultaneously. This, you will say, declares the Now York Journal, is done with the aid of a mirror. True—but how? What are known as "mirror pic- tures" are common enough, but, strict- ly speaking, .hese do not consist of two distinct portraits of the same person, MIRROR PHOTOGRAPH. but of one portrait and one reflection. In the mirror. Mr. Rudolph Wilhelm, a well known artist photographer of New York city, has greatly improved upon the ordinary method of making mirror pictures and, by an Ingenious way et using his apparatus and ar- ranging his accessories, has produced the charming portrait shown herewith. He asserts that in his pictures neither face is a reeectlon of the other, but that each le a true portrait of the per- son sitting; furthermore, he says that the portraits were made instantaneous- ly and that only one plate was used. In place of the ordinary mirror a frameless one must be used, and a con- venient size will be found to be one whose dimensions are about 24 by 20 inches. The glass Is placed upright and firmly held between the tongs of an ordinary photographer's stand. The enact position of the stand and mirror must, of course, be determined in each case by the artist himself. A great deal depends upon the kind of lenses used, and to achieve the greatest possible success what are known as wide angle rectilinear lenses are recommended. Another important thing Is to have the background and all other exposed objects as nearly alike in color and texture as possible. A glance at the pictures will show the importance of this precaution. No part of the mirror is to sight, nor 1s there to be seen the faintest outline of any of the accessories used by the artist in making these double portraits. The pictures are certainly interesting, and the work has been very cleverly done. Taste Sensations. sat os. s. There are only four simple taste sen- sations—namely, sweet, bitter, sour and salt. It is said by some that there are only two, sweet and bitter. All other sensations which are commonly called tastes are complex results of sensations of smell. touch, tempera- ture and sight The means by which we distinguish almost all of our com- mon food and drinks is not the sense ot taste so much as It is the sense of smell, touch, temperature and sight All the fine differences by which we distinguish the various fruits, meats and drinks depend not upon taste at all, but upon these other senses. A proof of these facts may be given by merely blindfolding the eyes and clos- Ing the nose and taking various kinds of foods and drinks into the mouth without swallowing them. It will then be found that it is quite impossible to distingulab many of the commonest foods and drinks. It is of course gen- erally known that what Is popularly mistaken for the taste of coffee, tea and wine 1s only their aroma—Cincln- tati Enquirer. Paper Math Robes. The latest use for paper, according to a German technical paper, is for the production of bath robes. The ma- tedal used for this purpose is some- what thick and resembles common blotting paper. The bath robes made of this material cling to the body im- mediately after being put on, and as the paper takes up the moisture very eagerly the drying of the body takes place rapidly. Furthermore, the pa- per is a bad conductor of heat, and as such it acts as a protection against quick cbanges of the temperature, pre- venting the wearer from catching cold.

Guy Duval told the following story to the New York Tribune as an illus- tration of the irresponsibility of the average Frenchman: "I was riding one afternoon in the Bois de Boulogne," he said, "when 1 noticed a tremendous disturbance just ahead of my carriage. Two thorough- ly angry tourists were standing in the street rubbing their heads and swear- ing with an ease and force which con- vinced me at once that they were Americans. Two empty cabs, which bad evidently been occupied by the tourists, were standing near by, and the drivers were hurling indistinguish- able jargon at each other, to the delec- tation of a crowd of onlookers. My driver Immediately stopped to join In the excitement. With some difficulty I persuaded him to proceed, and when we were out of sound of the uproar I asked him what the trouble was. "'Why, monsieur,' be said, 'Jaspard ran into Pierre's cab and scraped some of the paint from the wheel. Pierre was naturally very angry and swore at Jaspard, whereupon Jaspard said, "If you don't shut up, 1'11 hit your cus- tomer on the head with my whip!" and Pierre retorted, "If you hit my customer, I'll hit your customer!" Then Jaspard struck Pierre's customer, and Pierre resented the insult by hitting Jaspard's customer.' " He Wanted to Talk. A solemn looking Irishman entered a business house the other day and, walking up to one of the men employ- ed on the -lower floor, asked: "Is dhere anny chanst fer a mon t' get a job av wur-rk here?" "I don't know," answered the man addressed. "You'll have to see Mr. Hobart." "An pfwere is he?" asked the Irish- man. "Up on the second floor," was the answer. "Shall 01 walk up an talk t' him?" queried the seeker for employment. "No need of that," replied the man. "Just whistle in that tube, and he'll speak to you," pointing at the same time to a speaking tube. The old Irishman walked over to the tube and blew a mighty blast in it. Mr. Hobart heard the whistle, came to the tube and Inquired: "What's wanted down there?" T1s 01, Paddy Flynn!" answerel the Irishman, "Ar' ye th' boss?" aI am," replied Mr. Hobart.

The nearest approach to a system ever yet made by a New York deputy assessor of personal taxes was invent- ed by one who was somewhat of a card player. He took a pack of cards, gave a value to each card and then drew a card from the neck for each name on his list. A deuce meant $2,000, a tray $3.- 000, a four 14,000 and so on up to the knave, which was valued at 120,000, the queen at $30,000, the king at 140,- 000 and the ace at 150,000. If anything less than a five spot was drawn, he erased the name from the IIst, as It 1s customary to assess only those who are supposed to possess $5,000 or more of personal estate. The especially amusing thing about this man's work was that there were fewer objections made to his assess- ments than to those of any other depu- ty. He gained a reputation for hard work, and his salary was raised twice in one year.—Buffalo Express. The Curate's Trousers.

It Covers a Hundred Square Mlles nnd IR a Mama of Glittering Agate. in a Bewildering Array of Gor- geous Coloring. The territory Of Arizona is a vast museum of natural curiosities, includ- ing many of the most wonderful in all the world. The atmosphere, the cli- mate, the mountains, the soil, the riv- ers, tlie forests are filled with phe- 1101/ many of which exist nowhere els ")ie desert, 300 miles square, .wfth iti as a center, are spread out a vat% y of wonders of which the people of this country have little or no conception, but If they were in Eu- . rope or Asia thousands of our citizens would cross the oceau to see them. Being with'm only two Icir three days' journey of Uhleago and easy of access by frequent trains of sleeping and dining ears and other modeni luxuries of travel, they are overlotoced by the multitude and are practically un- known. To my mind, next to the Grand can- yon of the Colorado, the most interest- ing and impressive of the natural won- ' ders of this great Arizona museuin is the petrified forest, which covers near- ly 100 square miles, within easy dis- tance, either on foot or horseback, from Billings station, on the Santa Fe railroad, but it can be more easily reached by. carriage from Holbrook, where better accommodations can be found. The government explorers have christened it Chalcedony park. The surface of the ground for miles and miles around is covered with gi- gantic logs three or four feet in diam- eter, petrified to .the core. Many of them are translucent. Some are alrnost transparent. All present the most beau- tiful shades of blue, yellow, pink, pur- ple, red and gray. Some are like gi- gantic amethysts, some resemble the smoky topaz and some are as pure and white as alabaster. At places the chips of agate from the trunks that have erumbled lie a foot deep upon the ground, and it is easy to obtain cross seetious of trees showing every vein and even the bark. Comparatively little of this agate has been used in manufacturing, although it is easy to obtain. Manufacturing jewelers of New York have made table tops and boxes and other articles from strips that have been sent them, and if the material were not so abundant ,Its beauty would command enormous prices. Where you can get a carload of jewelry for nothing you are not like- ly to pay high prices for it. A bird's eye view of the petrified for- ests mi a Sunny day suggests a gigan- tic kaleidoscope. The surface of the earth resembles an infinite variety of rainbows. The geologists say this great . plain, now 5,000 feet above the sea, was once covered by a forest, which was submerged for ages in water strongly charged with minerals, until the fibers of the trees were thoroughly soaked and transformed into eternal stone. Many of the trunks are still packed in a deposit of fine clay, which was left by the receding waters, but the erosion of the wind has pulverized much of the clay and carried it off in the air, exposing the secrets that na- ture buried under its surface. One great tree spans a deep gulch 40 feet wide. It lies where it fell cen- turies, perhaps ages, ago, and is a most beautiful specimen of petrified wood. The rings and the bark can be easily traced through -the translucent agate, and it .is firm enough and strong enough to last as many centuries as it has already spent in its peculiar posi- tion. It is undoubtedly the only bridge of agate in the world and alone is worth a long journey to see. The Indians of the southwest used to visit the petrified forests frequent- ly to obtain agate for their arrow and spear heads, and the material was scattered over the entire continent by exchange between the different tribes, from the isthmUs. of Panama to 'Ber- ing strait. The great deposit here ex- plains where all the arrowheads of moss agate came from and other weapons and implements of similar material that are found in the Indian mounds and graves of the central and western states. In the stone age the agate of the petrified forest „was the very best material that conld be ob- .----‘tained for both the implements of war - and peace of the aborigPaes. A scalp- ing knife could be made very easily from one of the chips of agate and could be grotmd to a very fine edge. Many crystals were used for jewelry and ornaments also.—Chicago Record. Tide In Wells. The water in wells near the seashore rises and falls with the tide, but care- ful analysis of the composition of the water by P. Guichard leads this noted chemist to believe that there 18 no con- nection between the water of the wells and the sea, hence he comes to the con- clusion that the water is affected sep- arately by the moon the same as the water of the ocean to a sufficient de- gree to cause the rise and fall. Chem- ical analysis does not appear to be sufficient proof that there is no subter- ranean connection between the water in the well and the ocean, and not all will agree with the conclusion arrived at by this chemist —Exchange.

The origin of diamonds, which for so long has been a debated question, appears to be explained by a recent discovery near Kimberley. In both the Indian and the Brazilian diamond fields the gem oecurs like a pebble in certain gravelly strata, but has not been traced back to any rock that gives an indication of its genesis. After the discovery of diamonds in the river sand of some South African rivers a peculiar material of a brownish buff color, which turned to a dark bluish tint, was found. It became harder as the miners dug down. The diamonds lay in this material, together with sev- eral other minerals, such as garnets, iron ores, augite, olivine, etc. Excava- tions— begun systematically — were eventuelly case -fed on cat nuch a scale that near Kimberley they have reached a depth of more than 1,400 feet. Here the rock is about as hard as ordinary limestone. The blue ground is found only in limited areas. The rocks around are of dark shales, banded with hard sandstone, in which sheets or dikes of basalt or some 'material which was once in a molten condition are occa- sionally found. The blue ground fills a sort of shaft of colossal size in these other rocks and is itself cut up by sim- ilar dikes. The opinions of geologists differ as to whether the gems were produced where they now lie or have been formed of some older rock, which has been shattered by volcanic explo- sions. It is thought that the mystery has at last been cleareei up. About two years ago the manager of a dia- mond mine near Kimberley picked up a specimen in which smaller diamonds were apparently embedded in a garnet. This led to an investigation of various bowlders, one of which was broken open and was found to contain dia- monds. The rock is of the description known to mineralogists as eclogite. It is apparently composed almost ex- clusively of red garnet rock and a rather peculiar light green augite. The rock is coarsely crystalline and in all probability was once like garnet in a molten condition, the diamond being one of its original constituents. Ex- perts now tend to the belief that the "blue ground" in which diamonds were found is not their true birthplace. The bowiders aro often water marked and may have rested for ages in an ancient gravel at the very bottom of sedimen- tary rocks of the district. In course of time volcanic explosions shattered the rocky floor in which the diamonds were embedded, of which the bowl- ders were only samples; and dispers- ed it, together with the overlying ma- terials. It is believed that this is the true explanation of the formation of the diamond bearing "blue ground." Atmospheric Electricity. Professor Pellet recently communi- cated to the French Psychical society the results of some interesting experi- ments conducted by Wm to prove the correctness of a well known theory re- lating to the origin of atmospheric electricity, a summary of which ap- peared in the London Electrical Engi- neer. Ages ago it had been observed that a considerable amount of elec- tricity was conveyed to the atmos- phere through the evaporaticin of wa- ter from the earth's surface. Actual proof, however,• was not forthcoming until Professor Pellet undertook hie experiment. He employed two brass vessels insulated from the earth and equally charged with electricity. The one was filled with. water and the oth- er left empty, then set aside for Ph hours in a room at normal tempera- ture. At the end of this period it was ascertained, with the aid of an elec- trometer, that the vessel containing water had parted with the greater por- tion of its charge, while the other had not lost any appreciable amottnt It is impossible to explain this fact other- wise than that the water in the Med vessel in the process of eVaporation had transferred the electricity to the atmosphere. This would certainly seem to prove that water in process crf evaporation from the earth's surface carries with it a portion of the earth's static charge, which theory is strength- ened by the fact that the earth's elec- trical state during the warmest hours of the day is weakest, beeause evap- oration of the earth's moisture then reaches its maximum. Professor Pei- lat also pointed out that the smoke from chimneys is likewise a medium through which a considerable quanti- ty of electricity if transferred to the atmosphere, smoke, moreover, being generally charged with negative elec- tricity. Dangerous Fluids. Benzine and gasoline should never be allowed to stand in a bottle or in any• thing else where the hot sun shines on it. Not long ago a house was set on fire in that matiner. Never use either of these inflammable fluids in a room where there is ever so little fire. A match will ignite the volatile fttmes ex- actly as quick as a base burner in full blast We make no apology for this caution, for hardly a week passes that some one, somewhere, is not seriously burned by careless use of one or the oth er. Why He Waited. A hungry traveler, a stranger in Red Bank, N. J., entered a restaurant in that town and ordered ham and ecrgs as that seemed to be the only available dish. After he had waited half an hour. staring impatiently at the bottles in the casto he summoned the proprietor, whom he questioned regarding the de- lay. "The ham is all cooked," was the reply, "but my little girl is still out in the yard waiting for the hen to lay an- other PPIP " $10,000 FOR A DISCOVERY. Remunerative Information Which Two Englishmen Extracted. Much public interest was aroused during August, 1895, by the announce- ment of the award by the Smithsonian institution of the Hodgkins prize of $10,000 to Lord Rayleigh and Professor William Ramsay for their remarkable discovery of a new element—argon—in the atmosphere. From time to time bequests have been made for the insti- tution, but for the most part these have been comparatively small. In 1891, however, Thomas G. Hodgkins of Se- tauket, N. Y., expressed his desire to donate $200,000 to the Smithsonian fund. The regents accepted the sum, with the single condition made by the donor "that the income of $100,000 of the gift shall be used, under this gen- eral purpose, for the especial one of the increase and diffusion of knowl- edge by investigating and spreading knowledge concerning all the phe- nomena of atmospheric air." In accordance with this provision early in 1894 a circular was issued of- fering "a prize of $10,000 for a treatise embodying some new and im- portant discovery in regard to the na- ture or properties ef atmospheric air." The first award of this prize was made as mentioned above. Two grants of money were previously made from this fund to aid in the prosecution of spe- cial investigations on air, one of which is being carried on In Germany and the other in the TJnited States. Meanwhile, in November, 1892, Mr. Hodgkins died at the advanced age of 89 years and made the Smithsonian institution his residuary legatee. In consequence a further sum of money was added to the Smithsonian fund, and the total amount of the permanent fund now on deposit in the United States treasury is $911,000, on which sum an annual interest of 6 per cent is paid to the institution for the carry- ing out of its special alms. It is curi- ous to note that Hodgkins, like Smith- son, was an Englishman, and, again like Smithson, he was a student of sci- ence. Why the Sky Is Blue. The explanation of the blue color of the sky, as given by A. H. Thiessen, Is that as the observer looks into space his line is intercepted by a multitude of particles of dust floating in the air. The reason these particles appear to be blue is that they reflect to the eye the blue rays against which they form an effective barrier, while the red or coarser waved rays pass on. That the dust reflects back only the blue rays is due to their microscopic size. The finer the dust the purer is the blue which is reflected or scattered. The bluest skies, therefore, are seen in places where the dust particles are smallest The blue of the sky. as viewed from the tops of mountains, is deeper and purer than that seen from a lower al- titude. This is due to the fact that the air is very rare at great heights and can only sustain the finer particles of dust, while the coarser particles abound In the lower levels. The in- tensity of the blue sky for which Italy is noted is not owing to the existence of finer duit than in northern coun- tries, but to the fact that in the north- ern latitudes, in consequence of the greater coolness of the air, the vapor more readily condenses upon the dust particles. These particles thus be- come larger and less effective in turn- ing back the blue rays alone. It fol- lows that other rays are reflected, and a grayish effect is produced. When the sky forms a background for white cumulus clouds, it appears to be bluer by the contrast than it otherWthe wouM, and after a shower, when the lower stratum of air is washed of its coarse dust particles, the result is a deeper and purer blue. The reason the reds are prominent at suneet is that then the dust particles are between the sun and the observer, and ' the blues are reflected away from hhn, while the reds pass unobstructed to his eye. Besvare of Too Pave Water. Distilled water is known to be dan- gerous, as it withdraws the salts from the tissues and produces all kinds of effects, but it is a little startling to be told that chemically pure water is poisonous and that it sometimes occurs in a state of nature. Professor Koeppe: a German doctor, has made this interesting discovery and in- stances the water produced by clear natural ice, which causes gastric ca- tarrh if sucked, the reason being its excessive purity. Incidentally, Profes- sor Koeppe has cleared up a pretty lit- tle mystery which attached to a spring at Gastein, in Germany—known for many centuries as "The Poisoned Fountain." Yet no poison has ever been found in it. The explanation is that the water was absolutely pure and hence had the same injurious ef- fects as distilled water. In future, therefore, it would be well to make sure before drinking a glass of water that it contains the necessary amount of mineral or organic matter to pre - Vent its being injurious to health.

Loss of Weight Below a Certain Point Briags Death. During a long fast the daily loss of weight becomes gradually less aed less. Death comes risen the total loss has reached a iertain percentage, which percentage varies with the orig- inal weight. Fat animals may lose half their weight, thinner ones per- haps two-fifths. A man or woman of rather spare habit, weighing 143 pounds, could, therefore, lose about 55 pounds before succumbing. Heart action, respiration and blood pressure remain unaltered during starvation, but the tempera- ture of the body falls nearly a degree in most cases. The Secretion of gastric juice ceases, but saliva and bile are still forme& Th'e Zuration of life da - pends upon the extent and activity of the physiological processes. Children die after a fast of from three to five days, during which they have lost a quarter of their weight. Healthy adults, however, have fasted 60 days when water has been taken. Dr. Schaeffer, a German physician, notes the case of a woman, aged 47, who died after a fast of 43 ;Jaya, dur- ing which she drank water freely. Her weight, which was 143 pounds a year before her death, was reduced to 99 pounds. It was a case of sui- cidal melancholia, and the woman pa- tiently carried out her horrible under- taking so quietly as to scarcely at- tract the notice of her family and died at last calmly and peacefully without complaint or apparent evidence of suf- fering.—San Francisco Examiner. Perry's Big Guns. Commodore Perry had not yet elec- trified a grateful nation with his im- mortal message, "We have met the en- emy, and they are ours." While the battle was in progress the sound of the guns was heard at Cleveland, about 60 miles away in a direct line over the water. The few settlers there were expecting the battle and listened with intense interest. Finally the sounds ceased. They waited for a re- newal. None came; the lull was pain- ful. Then they knew the battle was over; but the result, ah! that was the point One old fellow, who had been lying flat with his ear to the ground, soon settled that point. Springing up he clapped his hands and shouted: "Thank God! They are whipped! They are whipped!" "How do you know?" the others inquired. "Heard the big guns last!" Perry's guns were the heaviest.— Buckeye. The Fifth Feminine Age. Until a few days ago I had always supposed that there were but four ages in a woman's life—the young, the still young, the well preserved and the elderly—but a man I know has added to my knowledge a fifth age. It comes in somewhere between the still young and the well preserved, I im- agine. I said to him maliciously: "How old is Mrs. Blank? Is she a young woman?" "Not exactly," he made answer. "She's—well, she's at the age when a woman always tells you, when she in- troduces her eldest son to you, that she was married ridiculously young." —Washington Post. His View of It. A little boy had been sent to the dairy to get some eggs, and on his way back he dropped the basket con- taining them. "How many did you break?" asked his mother. "Oh, 1 didn't break any," he replied, "but the shells came off some of them." There are some 60,000 costermongers who carry on business in the streets of London.

Powder THE GREEDY CATFISH. His Eating Capacity as Wonderfel as His Hold on Life. The catfish belongs to an ancient type not yet fully made into a fish, and hence those whose paired fins are all properly fastened to the head, as his are not, hold him in well merited scorn. He has no scales and no bright colors. His fins are small and his head and mouth are large. Around his mouth are eight long "smellers," fleshy feelers, that he pushes out as he crawls along the bottom in search of anything that he may eat. As he may eat anything, he always finds it. His appetite is as impartial as that of a goat. Anything, from a dead lam- prey or a bench of sunfish eggs to a piece of tomato can, is grateful to him. In each of the fins, which represent his arms, is a long, sharp bone, with a slimy surface and a serrated edge. These are fastened by a ball and sock- et joint, and whenever the fish is alarmed the bone is whirled over and set in place; then it sticks out sillily on each side. There is another such bone in the fin on thsi,back, and when all of these are set there is no lien that can swallow him. When he takes the hook, which he surely will do if there is any hook to be taken, he will swallow it greedily. As he' is drawn out of the water he sets his three spines and laughs to himself as the boy pricks his fingers trying to get the hook from his stom- ach. This the boy is sure to do, and because the boy of the Mississippi valley is always fishing for catfish is the reason why his fingers are always sore. The catfish is careless of the present and sure of the future. After he is strung on a birch branch and dried in the sun and sprinkled with dust and has had his stomach dug out to recover the hook, if he falls into the brook he will swim away. He holds no malice and is ready to bite again at the first thing In sight.—Popular Science Monthly. CHINESE COURT HISTORIANS They May Write the Truth,For Their Work Is Secret. There are court historians in China, as there are in other countries, but there is one striking difference, and it lies in the fact that the work of the Chinese court historians does not see the light until the reigning dynasty comes to an end. In this way these Celestial historians have an opportunity to describe most truthfully the virtues and vices of the valorous rulers and the real signifi- cance of the events which take place during their regime. They can write what they please without fear of cen- sure, for they know that their work will not be published as long as the reigning dynasty lasts. This has been the rule for more than 2,000 years, the first court historian having been appointed by the impe- rial house of Han, which reigned from 206 B. C. until 25 A. D. The duty of these historians is to write plain accounts of all the events that occur during their tenure of of- fice. At regular intervals their com- pleted work Is taken from them and is locked up in an iron safe or vault There it remains until the first member of a new dynasty ascends the throne. It is then given with all the other histories in the vault to the court historian, who is then living, and from the mass of documents he is expected to prepare a truthful history of the dynasty which has just expired. The present dynasty has been reigning since 1640 and consequently no court history has been published since that date.—St. Louis Post -Dispatch. Rotate aa Pronounced. There are numerous excuses for the pronunciation of the word route, and a man may hardly go amiss to" choose his own style. Down south they say always rowt. In the north, among the educated classes, we hear root Here also we hear, lower down, especially among the hyphenated Americans, rut. The Irish, even big folk, say rut The original Webster gives the pronuncia- tion as rowt, with an admission of root. We have adopted root because of a French leaning. The word rut, meaning a deep track in a roadway, cut by the rim of a wheel, is simply a contraction of route and rout. The Century dictionary says root or rowt, preference for root. We also say rootine for routine; why not, therefore, root for route? Rowtine would sound funny.—New York Press. Maine's Floating Island. The town of Liberty has a floating island which is quite a natural curios- ity. The island contains about 100 acres. It does not float around for the reason that there is not space for it to do so, but is rises 10 or 12 feet during the freshets of fall and spring and falls back to solid pasture land during the droeght of summer. Spruce trees 50 feet tall grow upon it —Bangor 'Whig and Courier. A TRAVELING TIAN'S EXPER- IENCE IN THE WEST. A New Yorker Grows Reminiscent in a West -Bound Pullman. "You'll have -to excuse me this time, gentlemen, you know I never was an adept in the art of story telling," an- swered jovial John Randall, the woolen goods mitu, to a partY of fellow Knights of the Grip in the smoker of a west bound Pullman. "That'll do to tell a stranger ur one who doesn't know you, Jack," answered one of .the party. "To be candid with you. I have ex- hausted my old stock, and have not been out on this trip long enough to accumu- late a new supply." "But you've been making semi-annual trips across these plains and through the west for a good many years now, and, surely, you have met with some experi- ence worth repeating. - "1 don't know but what 1 have; let me See—yes. it was on one of my summer trips; the summer of '91, I believe, that I met with an experience that has played quite an important part in my life. and I hope may continue to do so. I had in- : spected. carefully. the packing of my trunks in the house in New York," began Randall, "and saw that they were deliv- ered to the depot and properly checked. That night, while wandering around in the depot. 1 met.George Scroggs. an inti- mate friend of mine, who had come to say farewell to an acquaintance of his, a Miss Hamilton. who was bound for the Rockies, in search of heath. " 'Come into the ladies' room, Jack, he said. 'and I will introduce you; she is' accompanied only by her mother, and ri;rrlottuiptse.S:,ou may be of assistance to them "In deference to my friend's wishes I submitted to the formality of an intro- duction. The ladies informed me that they were going over the Pennsylvania system to Chicago, and thence via the Q to Denver. I realized that I was in for transfers, water for the invalid, and other numerous so-called gallantries, more be- coming to a trained nurse. But as 'my mileage was over the same routes I could do nothing but express my delight at having two such pleasant traveling companions. "Our journey across the country pro- gressed quite favorably and ail went well until we left Kearney. One doesn't dare i.aise the window for fear of suffocation iu it deluge of sand, and the atmosphere in a railway coach in summer, with the windows tightly closed. is almost beyond human endurance. We had uot traveled more than fifty miles when my charge began to suffer (rem smothering spells aud, during one of these, the labored coughing brougkt on a severe hemorrhage. From pity or some unaccountable source, I began to realize that my interest in this Miss Hamilton was of that peculiar, inde- scribable kind that rapidly kindles a flame of stronger feeling. Thus, my increas- ing interest in her prompted me to make inquiries regardiug her affliction. Her mother told me that, she had left New York expecting to return a corpse. The best and most celebrated specialists in the country had been consulted and were unanimous in the opinion that she was in an advanced stage of that dreaded dis- ease, consumption, by the ravagos of which, they informed her, one lung was entirely consumed Her only hope was in prolonging life for a few months, and this could only be effected by a sojourn in the inountains. ••We had traveled together for flve days, and when we reached Denver in- wead of parting with my friemis' at that place I accompanied them on to Colorado Springs. I couldn't tell you how it happened, but, in less than a week, 1 asked Miss Hamilton to be my wife. She told me she could not listen to me— that she liked me very well and all that, but she could not reach her hand out of the grave to take mine. If she ever was fortunate enough to recover, she would be pleased to see me again—hoped I would stop on my return trip, etc. " 'If you do get well. mity I hope,' I pleaded. Say. fellows, 1 never will for- get the'faint blush that mantled those poor, faded cheeks when she whispered, •I guess so, Jack.' "From that moment I made up my mind that she would get well, if it were in my power to effect such a miracle. "I was in a semi -happy, semi -discon- solate state. when -1 bade her good -by and went to my hotel. I picked up a paper in an endeavor to distract my mind and was glancing over its pages when my eyes fell upon the advertisement of Dr. Rea. of Louisville, Ky., who was sojourn- ing in Colorado Springs at that time. Scanning his advertisement closely, I noticed that he made consumption and its kindred diseases a specialty. I put tire paper in my pocket and made a grand rush for his hotel, and was rewarded by finding him in his. parlors busy with numerous patients. I did not await my turn in consultation, but approached his assistant and asked for tin immediate in- terview with the doctor, stating my busi- ness was of extreme importance and urgency, As soon as I was ushered into Dr. Rea's presence, I knew that I had met uot only it great man, but a physi- cian who was a peer among those of his profession. "I had only begun to state the Cage, when Dr. Rea said: 'My friend, you have told me enough; I will call on Miss Ham- ilton in an hour.' I hastened to apprise her of what I had done. After express- ing her surprise at my returning so soon she remarked with a faint smile. 'It'S no use, Jack. I've tried- them ell."This is for me. though.' I replied. "Dr. Rea came and was no sooner ushered into Miss Hamilton's presence than he began telling her exactly her every symptom from the incipiency of her disease to that time. 'The other phy- sicians were misled as to the nature of your case; you are not a consumptive; your trouble is in your bronchial tubes.' -He gave her just seven treatments, when he informed her that she could re- turn to her home and continue her treat- ment through correspondence. Imagine my joy, fellows, when I received a tele- gram from her while 1 was in San Fran- cisco telling me of this. I wired my house saying 1 would be unable to com- plete my• trip. and hastened to Colorado Springs. Honestly, I never sew such a change as had taken .plitce in that girl; her cheeks had lost most of their pallor and sunken look. and had begun to have a little color: "The night I arrived in Colorado Springs I reminded her of her promise, and before I left for my hotel we decided it would be most fitting to be married on the spot where her new life had com- menced. "Gentlemen. that poor sick girl pre- sides over my little castle in the east now. a picture of health and beauty, and is the mother of my little boy. This is their picture," exhibiting the inside of his watch case. "Dr. Rea can have any- thing I possess, but those two. Do you wonder that I feel that way? I have in- terested myself in this great man's,woyks since that time and thev are trulk--t sr- veious. Among the curets that he" has effected and have come to my notice are those of Miss Ella Daily, sister of Father -Daily, Farmington, Ia., cured of total blindness in three weeks' time, when numerous other physicians had said that her eyesight could never be restored. Mrs. Thos. Howells. Keokuk, Ia., cured of dry catarrh and ringing noises in the ears. James Williams. Summitville, Ia., cured of partial deafness in twenty min- utes. Mrs, McMarlin, Alexandria, Mo., cured of ulcerated sore leg and eczema. Mrs. Edna Proctor Field, a prominent society womari of Peoria, 111., was cur- ed of the most aggravated form of ner- vousness and catarrh when all other kinds of treattkurt had failed her. Miss Lettie Brock a prominent member Of West Superior, Wis., society circles. cured of deafness; she had spent $5,000 without feller, Henry Potts, a wealthy farmer near Peoria. III., cured of ner- vous debility and weakness. Mrs. G. W. Bi rd 'Mt. Please nt, Ia. , cured of epilepsy of long standing. Miss Mason, Mt. Pleasant. 1a., cured of ulcerated sore throat. Mike Kelch. a prominent livery- man of Fort Madison, Ia., cured of chronic nervous affliction and loss of memory. Mrs. E. P. Morse, Wheeling, W. Va., cured ten years ago of kidney trouble. nervous prostration and a serious growth in the -breast. Mrs. D. II. Man- ley, Hot Springs, Ark., cured of can- cerous tumor after having been pro- uounced incurable by the leading phy- sicians of that place. "The most wonderful feature of this man's life is his ability to diagnose. ac- curately, any disease in man. woman, or child without asking a question or being told a thing. When a physician can tell a person their disease accurately and in detail, without asking a question, or hay - ing had any previous knowledge, he is not at all likely to make a mistake in treating hia patients. - "All out for McCook,- announced the porter.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 9th, 1899. Henry Zusan, a cooper of this city, is missing, creating considerable un- easiness among his friends. When last heard of, some four or five weeks ago, he was at Red Wing gathering logs for the Mississippi and Rum River Boom Company. Any infor- mation concerning him will be thank- fully received by his family. He is sixty-three'years old, with full beard tinged with gray, and nearly six feet tall.

The Worthington Advance has be- gun the publication of ,a neat little daily, a commendable undertaking. The Red Wing Argus appeared last Saturday with C. J. Haines as proprietor.

It • is rather a small town for two papers, the field being already well occupied. The twin cities have bees full of people this week owing to the re- duced rates on the railroads in con- nection with the state- fair, and thousands -of dollars have been taken from the country towns that should have been left at home. That's what it's for. The Douglas Houghton, the larg :t steamer on the lakes, was sunk in St. .Mary's River on Tuesday, effectually blocking the channel.

The Thirteenth Regiment arrived in San Francisco Thursday evening, per steamer Sheridan, but it will be several weeks before the boys are discharged and started for home. Sixteen of the girls graduating at the Stillwater high school last sum- mer have entered the normal school at Moorhead. It may be of interest to politicians to know what percentage of Minne- sota government places is credited to the respective congressional districts. Since the advent of the republican administration most of the appoint- ments from Minnesota have been out- side the civil service, consequently there have been very few department appointments. In the percentages of federal appointees credited to the different districts we do not count the Indian school and police service in the second, sixth, and seventh dis- tricts, which would undoubtedly in- crease the -percentages in those divi- sions; but for real equitable division we commend the following percent- ages to politicians who are interested in such things: first district -thirteen; second district seven; third district five; fourth district thirty-one; fifth district fifteen; sixth district twenty- one; seventh district eight. It is a conspicuous fact that under the pres- ent administration over one-third the appointments which came to Minne- sota are from the fourth district. Comment is unnecessary and entirely superfluous. The figures giving the above percentages are taken from the Minnesota blue book. -Northfield News.

The excursion of the Military Band to Stillwater next Wednesday, per steamer Flora Clark and barge Louise, will be the most interesting of the season on account of the street fair at that town. Among the attra•- tions are the Ellsworth Zouaves, Danz and Seibert's bands, the colored quartette, fire department runs, bal- lon ascensions, and a visit to the state prison. The band will give a select programme on the trip each way, and there will also be good music for dancing. Leave Hastings at 8:30 a. m., returning leaving Stillwater 9:00 p. m. This will be the only oppor- tunity to see the evening street amusements, and it is hoped that our boys will have a deserved benefit. Round trip tickets fifty cents.

George Mahar,late of Com- pany E, Thirteenth Re4iment, on his return from Manila. Upon the arrival of the train a procession was improvised, headed by the Military Band, which escorted the carriage to his home on Sixth Street. A halt was called in front of The Gardner, where a few appropriate remarks were made by Senator Schaller, and in response to cheers,. George stood up, removed his hat, and bowed his acknowledgment. He looks much better than anticipated, although quite thin fromhis long illness. It was entirely a spontaneous gathering, and a reception of which our young hero has every reason to be proud. Red Wing met and defeated the West Side Colts at Fuller's Park on Monday. The Red Wing team played a more snappy, all-around game than did their opponents: Carisch was in the box for Red Wing and pitched a fine game, striking out twelve men and allowing but sevenhits and no bases on balls.

Story of a Slave: To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the wdlst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Man- chester, Mich. tells how such a slave was made free. He says: "My wife has been so helpless for five years that she could nokturn over in bed alone. After using two bottles,of Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully improved and able to do her own work." This supreme remedy for female diseases quickly cures nervous- ness, sleeplessness, melancholy, headache, backache. fainting and dizzy spells.

The Cockatoo's Nutcracker Btil4 There is a wonderful cockatoo in one of the islands of the Indian ocean, near Nett/ Guinea. It is as large as a full Town pheasant, and It is of a jet black color. The bird Is remarkable for its inlnien$ely strong bill and the clever manner' in which it is used. The bill is as harekas steel, and the upper part has a deep notch. Now, the',favorite food of this cocka- too is the canary nut; but there is won- derful ingenuity_ required to get at it, for the nut is something like a Brazil nut, but it is tentimes as hard. In fact, it requiresaehe blow of a heavy hammer to crackit. It is quite smooth and somewhat triangular in shape. Nature appears to have given the inssessor of the wonderful bill some telligence to direct. its powers, for the cockatoo. takes s..one of the nuts Ise in its bilLand by a carving motion of its sharp;1o%er beak makes a small notch on it. This done, the third takes hold of the nut with its claws, and, biting off r,a piece of leaf, retains it in the deep notch of the up- per part of the bill. Then the nut is seized between the upper and hewer parts of the bill and is •p,evented slip- ping by the peculiar texture of the leaf. A sharp nip or two_:breaks off a tiny piece of the shell of the nut. The bird then seizes the nut in its claws and pokes the long sharp point of its bill into the hole and picks out the kernel bit by bit. -Savannah News. Fearful Tortures. For many years I was a teacher in Afghanistan, and during my stab in that country I was often an unwilling witness of some horrible exhibitings of torture. Here is one they use ind case of women to extract testimon,& It consists In prying off the finger nails by means of a small chisel or bradawl, which is shoved in slowly but firmly from the finger tip down- ward under the quick of the nail, which is then lifted up and out. This is another that I once saw used in the case of a small child who would not own up to some petty theft: Sticks were thrust between Its fingers and the fingers then squeezed together, so that the sticks crushed into the bones. So much for women and children. Here is a method of eliciting informa- tion from an unwilling man: The cul- prit is stripped to the waist, and then boiling oil is flicked on to his back. This seldom fails to find the man's tongue. The above are the chief forms of "fahana," or torture, for the purpose of eliciting information, but It must be stated that such inflictions as nipping of noses, tearing out tongues or splitting eyeballs do not come under the heading of "fahana," they being punishments rather than tortures.- London ortures:London Standard. Staggered Them. There's no art to tell how many lan- guages a tongue can speak by looking its owner in the face. An American woman was met recently in a narrow hallway of the American embassy by four young attaches of foreign lega- tions. They stepped aside to let her pass and, thinking she did not under- stand French, made a few audible ob- servations. "Look at her yellow dress. It's very, pretty," said No. 1. "Yes, but she has on white gloves," answered No. 2. "She has good teeth," said No. 3. "And an enormous mouth," added No. 4. "And she understands French per. fectly," said the owner of the enor. mous mouth, turning suddenly upon: them, "and would like to say that hes ears are even bigger than her mouth." This in French and with such an air of giving personal information to nobody' in particular that it was quite as if she had been kindly helping strangers to information out of a guide book. I do not think I have ever seen fouls limper looking young men. They `had Just enough presence of mind to flee the premises. -St. Louis Globe -Demo- crat, A Nice Little Elopement. "There's a rather funny circum- stance connected with the elopement here last week," remarked the lo- quacious landlord of the tavern :ifs a remote Sussex village, says an English paper, addressing a cyclist whohad stopped for refreshment "A young man who hadn't known her so very long ran away win the squire's daughter, and a day o4 -two later the old gentleman sent thisemes- sage by letter to his new son-in-lalsv: "'All is forgiven.

"But I want it, dearie, Just as ranch as you do. Go ahead and order it." "No. I appreciate your kindness, but I'm not the one to be extravagant when economy is demanded.

In a recent notable debate in London on hypnotism between Dr. Bramwell of that city and F. W. Myers of Cam- bridge the former gave some interest- ing practical results in this line, his experience covering some nine years of suggestive practice, during which he had not seen even the slightest bad ef- fect, either immediate or remote, and he concluded that the moral sense must be heightened to a degree. He had resorted to suggestions with pa- tients of all ages -some actually in- sanet many on the borderland of insan- ity and of mental condition so extreme- ly unstable that if there had been any danger of producing bad effects some patients would have shown them, but in not a single instance had there been a weakening of the will. On the con- trary, those with a weak will gained force of character and gave up vice. According to Mr. Myers, the leading facts of hypnotism, both for the physi- clan and the psychologist, the facts which call most pressingly both for ex- planation and development, are those profound sanative regenerations wkJ ih have so often transformed the dip- somaniac, the morphtnomaniac, etc., tnto self controlled and useful mem- bers of society. When to atop &alga 035 w� c "People over 50 would do well to give up milk and eggs as a diet," said Dr. Henry M. Dearborne. "These are the structure forming foods of animals which mature in a short time, and when taken in quantities by human beings whose structures have already formed they tend only to the harden- ing and aging of the tissues." Dr. Dearborne said that he had seen people who were beginning to find stair climbing difficult and who were losing their elasticity much benefited by eliminating these articles from their diet. "There has been a great increase in the duration of life below the age of 50, statistics prove," he said, "but be- yond that period there has been no 1 improvement." In his opinion, the per- son over 50 should have as good a chance to preserve life as the young child just beginning its struggle with existence. -New York Times. The Burlington Time Card. ST. PAUL.

Only one hundred miles southeast of the fertile grain fields of Eastern Wash- ington, between the Clearwater and Sal- mon rivers, lies what was long known as the Nez Perces Indian country, only recently thrown open to settlement and mining. Since the early sixties, when $38,000,000 was washed out of the rich placers of the Clearwater and Salmon rivers, It has been a tradition among miners that some day great gold dibcover- ies would be made in the Nez Perces country. The enormous cost of transpor- tation, remoteness from civilization, and consequent impossibility of carrying on large mining operations left the rich quartz ledges—the mother lodes of the placers—untouched. Almost simultane- ously with the completion of the North- ern Pacific's Lewiston extension from Spokane came the announcement of the discovery in the Buffalo Hump range of immense ledges of gold bearing quartz which, cropping out above the surface, and twenty feet or more in width, extend in different directions for many miles. The rapid extension of the Clearwater Line of the Northern Pacific, now build- ing along that river from Lewiston, will scon throw this heretofore almost inac- cessible country open to capital, and modern machinery with American grit will do the rest. For fuller information and a new map of this region send a two cent stamp to Chas. S. Fee, St. Paul, Minn., or address any general or district passenger agent of the Northern Pacific Railway. twelve by twenty. The west one will be for their nine branch yards, with a vault eight by twelve, and the east one for their local business.

Coroner Nicholas Gillen and Ma- thias Jacobs drove up to South St. Paul last Friday evening, a body hav- ing been found in the river at that place. It was identified as George Oldham, of St. Paul, who was drown- ed above the Wabasha Street bridge on the llth ult. while bathing. He was a son of Mrs. Ellen Oldham, aged seventeen years. No inquest was held, and the remains were sent home. Voleamie Eruptions Are grand, but Skin Eruptions rob life of joy.

Almost every week the medical pa- pers add another item to their list of deadly dangers. The latest is con- veyed in a remarkable communication on the subject of infection of song birds in The Lancet, contributed by Dr. A. Tucker Wise of Montreux, Switzerland. He says: • "While engaged ou an inquiry into the sources of bacillary infection in eases which have recently come under my notice I have been struck by the number of patients who have lived in contact with diseased canaries and other feathered pets. "Among cage birds, pigeons and poultry tuberculosis is a common dis- ease, and there is a strong probability that avian infection can be convey. ed to human beings who keep birds within the house. The objectionable practice of allowing them to place their beaks in contact with the lips is a risky and dangerous proceeding as re- gards liability to receive bacilli in this way If the bird is not healthy. "Feeding and nursing sick birds and blowing the dust and husks from their seed and cleaning the cage are not without danger. In my opinion the canary or any other bird kept in the kitchen is a positive peril to the house- hold, as by flutterIngs and whisking the dust from its cage or mucus from its beak the food of a whole family can be contaminated. "Parrots can also be attacked by tu- bercle, which is characterized fre- quently by new growths of horny skin, which sometimes attain a considerable size. They can easily be broken off, and they containnumerous tubercle bacilli in their basal granulation tissue. "Psittacosis, an infectious disease of parrots, has already been observed to cause a serious and fatal pneumonia of a special type transmitted by these birds to man. In 1892 about 50 per- sons in Paris were attacked. Since that time other milder epidemics have been_ noticed and studied by Gilbert, Fournier and Debove." New Physiological Instrument. A very delicate instrument known as the biometer and intended for meas- uring the Intensity of the vital force in man has been contrived by Dr. Ba- raduch of Munich. This intensity is claimed to have proportionate effects In attracting or repelling a delicately poised needle so many degrees. Con- tinued youth of course depends upon the keeping of this force at its maxi- mum after middle age. Now, the prin- ciple of the biometer Is that when a man is in perfect health the vital cur- rent plays through his system from right to left. The right hand then will attract the needle 15 degrees, because the current is entering, and the needle strives to follow the roi•ce, while the left hand will repel it, because the force is leaving that extremity. Loss of vitality is supposed to be shown by both hands repelling the needle, though—during sleep both hands at- tract it. A reversal of the current of its own accord is looked upon as an unfavorable harbinger, and on the bidmeter registerieg a great loss of vitality the subject is to be shut in a cell in which are arranged electric lights of great Intensity and other elec- tric fixtures, and after remaining in this luminous bath for five minutes be regains his maximum of vigor. Harness For Plano Students. To prevent plane students from drop- ping their wrists too low, a common fault with beginners, a musician of Washington has Invented a support which, it is claimed, not only 'corrects this fault, but offers a very grateful relief for the student. His device, SUPPORT FOR PIANo PLAYER'S HANDS. shown in the accompanying cut, has cuffs to be attached to the wrists, with an adjustable strap to pass over the shoulders and be tightened until ft Illfts the wrists to the proper height. While sustaining the arm and wrist in the correct position for fingering the keys of the piano this contrivance is yielding to a sufficient extent to per- tnit the hand to conveniently reach all the octaves of the keyboard.

"The hardest won bet I ever made," remarked the traveling man as he the ashes ticigar. "was to -off his shook o carry four bricks half a utile. That sounds like a simple thing to do, doesn't it? Well, you try it and you will find out whether it is or not. Of course the manner of carrying the bricks is Important. A man bet me that I couldn't carry- two bricks in each hand from where we were back to the hotel and put them up on the bar. The bricks were to be put side by side and grasped, two lu each hand, between the thumb and fingers, the fingers pointing down. I was not allowed to stop and rest, nor to put the bricks down. "Well, thought I, that's $2 easily earned, so I took the bet and started. For a quarter of the distance It was easy and I already felt those two sil- ver dollars in my pocket. But then my fingers began to grow tired. The mus- cles between my forefingers and thumbs were soon aching terribly. My arms began to pain the and to throb like mad. I found myself setting my teeth together and the cords In my neck were in a high state of tension. When I came within a hundred yards of the hotel there was scarcely an Inch in my whole body that wns not aching as if I had been stuck full of pins. "I don't know how I managed to go that last little distance. I could no longer stand erect, and I was trembling like a leaf, and yet the other fellow was alongside, laughing as if to split his sides. And when I got into the bar- room, It was all I could do to raise first one hand and then the other and put the bricks on the counter. I know that I couldn't have gone 50 feet farther. I got the $2, but the next day I could scarcely move, and I didn't get over the soreness for a week. It looks easy, but just you try it."—Detroit Free Press. THE DOORBELL. It Tells 'What Manner of Man Yon Are by Your Ring. Doorbells are pretty fair indicators of character. Probably you have not been conscious of it, but every time you pull a doorbell you register what manner of man you are. Your ring will not tell everything about you, from the color of your eyes to your taste in flowers, but to those who know the signs the doorfrell is as good as a title page. Any one who has had occasion to answer bell pulls knows how much difference there is in them. One per- son's method varies little from time to time, though the difference between -that method and somebody else's, while slight, will be stt-firciently well marked. It is seldom that two rings are exactly alike. The housewife recognizes each, the impatient man, who pulls the bell twice in quick succession and does not wait long before trying it again; the one of more phlegmatic temperament, whose ring is slower and more sub- stantial; the hesitating woman, who draws the knob out in a succession of nervous jerks; the seedy individual with matches to sell, who stretches the wire carefully to its full length and then allows it to relax with a faint, apologetic tinkle, and the jolly friend, who knows he is welcome, and therefore grasps the knob with a hear- ty swing that is fairly eloquent with good nature, and sets the bell to shak- ing its sides with such peals of echo- ing laughter that it positively cannot stop at once, but subsides gradually with a merry, irrepressible little titter. A doorbell has as many voices as vis- itors.—Berlin (Md.) Herald. A Tough Bantam. A letter in a Glasgow paper records a phenomenon much too remarkable to be reserved for Scottish consump- tion. The writer says: "An acquaint- ance of mine, who lives up north, has among others of the feathered tribe a little bantam cock. A few weeks ago he noticed that it was looking the worse for a slight difference of opinion with a canine friend, but did not ex- amine it closely till his mother's and sisters' voeiferations brought him in a hurry. There was the bantam pick- ing away at corn, but the corn was dropping from a rent in the bird's chest just as fast as it was lifted. Not wanting to kill the bird, my friend got a needle and some horsehair and stitched up the tear, with the result that the bird now is as good as new." To Test Wall Papers. Arsenic is very often present in the pigment used for wall papers, and as every one knows, if one covers one's walls with a paper containing deadly poison one's health must suffer. It is important, therefore, to select wall pa- pers which do not contain arsenic, and the method of testing them is simple in the extreme. Take a piece of the paper and light it, and if arsenic be present you will notice an odor like that of garlic. Do not inhale the smoke. An- other way of testing the paper is to pour over it a little diluted hydrochlor- ic acid. If the greens in the pattern become blue In this treatment it is be- cause they contain arsenic.—Home Notes. Changed Accompaniment.

Baldness May Yet Be Avoided or Overcome. A Turkish physician has been experi- menting successfully on the one, transplant- ing of hairs, one byto baldparts of the scalp. His results seem to show that there is no impossibility in the complete renewal of a lost head of hair by this means. The physician, Dr. Menahem Ho - dare, tried his experiments in the case of a disease that had removed part of his patient's hair. His plan was to scarify the bare surface and to implant thereon hairs removed from other parts of the patient's head. The hairs used for the purpose were trimmed with scissors at each end. Some four weeks after implantation a certain number of the hairs were found to have taken root, and in no long time a goodly new crop was produced. Encouraged by these results, Dr. Ho - dare has since applied the method in other cases of baldness following fa- vus, and he thinks himself justified in stating that "clinically there can be no doubt as to this very curious fact— that small bundles of hair stems cut with scissors and implanted in the in- cisions made with the scarifier can take root and grow, forming fu time long and visible hairs." By microscopic examination he has satisfied himself that after some weeks a real new bulb forms at the lower end of the implanted hair. Dr. Hodara's results are interesting in themselves and still more in the promise which they appear to offer of further results undreamed of, or at any rate unmen• tioned, by the ingenious experimenter. Why should not the same treatment be applied in cases of ordinary bald- ness? Many bald men would gladly submit to have their scalps plowed and afterward sown with new hairs if there was a reasonable hope of even a moderate harvest. Bottom of the Ocean. The temperature at the bottom of the ocean is nearly down to freezing point and sometimes actually below it. There is a total absence of light, as far as sunlight is concerned, and there is an enormous pressure, reckoned at about a ton to the square inch in every thousand fathoms, which is 100 times greater than that of the atmosphere we live in. At 2,500 fathoms the pres- sure is 30 times more powerful than the steam pressure of a locomotive when drawing a train. As late as 1880 a leading zoologist explained the exist- ence of deep sea animals at such depths by assuming that their bodies were composed of solids and liquids of great density and contained no air. This, however, is not the case with deep sea fish, which are provided with air inflated swimming bladders. If one of these fish in full chase after its prey happens to ascend beyond a cer- tain level, its bladder becomes distend- ed with the decreased pressure and carries it, in spite of its efforts, still higher in itscourse. In fact, members of this unfortunate class are liable to be- come victims to the unusual accident of falling upward and no doubt meet with a violent death soon after leaving their accustomed level and long before their bodies reach the surface in a dis- torted and unnatural state. Even ground sharks, brought from a depth of no more than 600 fathoms, expire before they gain the surface. Danger From Quinine: So well known and eminent an au- thority as Professor Koch expresses the opinion that the indiscriminate use of quinine as a prophylactic in malarial countries is attended with great dan- ger and Is in many cases the indirect cause of the pernicious "black water" fever, one of the most virulent forms of malarial diseases. The general prac- tice among persons coming from tem- perate to tropical latitudes of saturat- ing their systems with quinine taken in regular and often excessive doses is vigorously condemned by Professor Koch, because, first, It seriously weak- ens the action of the heart, and, sec- ond, because the system, having be- come inured to the drug, fails to re- spond to quinine treatment in case of actual sickness. The efficiency of the article having been exhausted as a preventive, it has no longer any im- portant value as a remedy, and experi- ence shows that a person debilitated by the immoderate use of quinine may take malarial fever and die of it like any one else. It is even asserted that the increased death rate in certain portions of west Africa, where the conditions of living have been greatly improved during the last ten years, is due largely to the increased and indis- criminate use of quinine, now obtain- ed so much, cheaper. He Didn't Like Pledges. Judge Martin Grover of Troy, N. Y., was at one time approached by a young citizen who wished to be nominated to the state assembly. The shrewd old judge had certain doubts about him, which he expressed somewhat freely, and yet he was willing to afford him a trial. He therefore addressed the as- pirant in this way: "Young man, if you will give me your zword that you won't steal when you get to Albany, I'll see what kin be done about sendin you there." "Judge Grover," replied the young man, drawing himself up with great dignity, "I go to Albany unpledged or I don't go at all." Pretty Lively Fooling. I was out walking 10 Kingston, Ja- maica, one afternoon, and while on a narrow side street I came upon two black women, each apparently in a towering rage. Each woman's tongue was going at a 'phenomenal rate, but not a word of their screeching jargon was intelligible to me. Finally one of the women scooped up a double handful of the ever pres- ent Kingston dust and flung it over the other woman with a wild shriek of laughter. The dust covered womau ated by taking a tin pan she had 1 -r hand and scooping up a couple o uarts of the dirty water in the gut- ter by the roadside drenched her as- sailant with it, while all that part of Kingston resounded with the mad laughter. The two women then closed In on each other and proceeded to engage in a prolonged wrestle, thich resulted in both of them falling to the ground, where they tolled over and over in a cloud of dust and finally stood upon their feet, facing each oth- er in a state of dirt and disorder be- yond description. Fearing that they would make a sec- ond onslaught on each other and wishing to play the part of peace- maker, I stepped forward and asked: "What is the trouble?" Courtesying low, one of the women said in a soft, drawling voice: "No trouble at all, mastah . we's fess foolin."—Harper's Bazar. Wood Tar.

I have only just got married and don't understand much about the business. I should like to know whether a married man has any rights left when he takes unto himself a wife?" "Bights? Yes, lots. He has a right to pay all the bills"— "Stop! I mean this. Let me give you an instance. Every box, every chest of drawers and portmanteau and In fact every available receptacle of every description is stuffed full of my wife's property, and when I want to put away a few cuffs and collars"— "Hold hard. I know what you mean. Listen, young man. If your bedroom were 200 yards long, lined from the door to the ceiling with shelves, and you wanted a place to stow away a couple of shirts, you couldn't find a nook that wasn't full of hairpins, scent bottles, odd gloves, pieces of ribbon, odd feathers and artificial flowers, lit- tle bits of tape and' buttons galore, with pins and thrown in so needles th o just accept the inevitable.

"Maria, at last it has come!" The hitherto careworn face of the middle aged husband had taken on a new brilliancy,\and his whole attitude was expressive of some sudden joy. "Yes," said he triumphantly, "after a lifetime passed in ceaseless endeavor for your sake I am at last rewarded, My invention has been sold and a fortune awaits me. Think, Maria, of what this means to you! You will nev- er have to make me another shirt or cravat as long as you live!" His wife looked at him with re- proachful glance. "James," she said tenderly, "I hope I shall never be too proud for that. No matter, James, how rich you shall be it will always be my greatest pleasure and privilege to make your shirts and ties." Her husband did not reply, but a few moments later, alone in his own room, he bowed his head •over his clasped hands and muttered in bitter anguish: "Alas, the labor of a lifetime spent for naught!"—Town Topics. Test of Perseverance. "If yog ever want a boy to work for you, send him out to find a four leaved clover, and if he finds one you may hire him with the assurance that he will prove faithful and deserving." That is the advice of Daniel Ains- worth of Newton, Kan., and he has had a good deal of experience with boys. Mr. Ainsworth says this idea is not original with him. He learned it from old Alexander Sackett, a wealthy grain commission merchant of Cleveland, O. Mr. Sackett had several boys working for him. When he needed a boy, he al- ways put an advertisement in the paper, and when the boys came in an- swer to it he sent them all away with instructions to go cut and find a four leaved clover and not to return with- out it. Mr. Sackett invariably engaged the boy who came back first with the four leaved clover, and the boy neved failed him. Mr. Sackett's motive in this was not that the finding of the clover brought good luck, but that it took patience, perseverence and persistent work to find a four leaved clover, and that a boy lacking in those qualities would soon tire of the hunt, and that such a boy was not worth hiring.—Kansas City Star. Chinese Sun and Moon. In China the sun and moon are brother and sister. The moon is Me elder brother, who looks after his rath- er silly sister, the sun. This is exactly the reverse of our legends, which make the sun the dsy kiig and the gentle moon lady of the night - One day 1n China, so the legend runs, the sun asked the moon if she couldn't go out at night. The moon answered very sternly: "No. You are a young lady, and it would be irfproper for you to go out after dark." Then the sun said, "But the people keep looking at me when I go out in the daytime." So the moon told her to take the golden needles that she wore in her hair and stick them into the eyes of people when they stared at her. This is the reason why no one can look at the sun without pain. A Conservative Parrot. A correspondent of The Spectator tells of an aged parrot of most con- servative instincts. The owner had re- cently a new carpet in her dining room, where the parrot lives, and Pol- ly made herself quite ill with her strong objection to this innovation. She screamed "Take it awayl" till she was exhausted, and at last she refused to eat her food till they brought a square of the old carpet and put it around the cage. She then at once be- came cheerful and reconciled to life, though she will never take her walks abroad beyond her beloved `piece of old carpet. Divorcee In North Dakota. From this day forward a year's resi- dence will be required in North Dakota on the part of persons who wish to se- cure divorces.

Heretofore It hap been famous only as the state where persons might get a divorce WWII they waited.—Kansas City Star. Fun For the Neighbors. A youth in the east end caused quite a sensation a few days since by start- ing out as an amateur mail carrier. Isis mother had placed a large number of letters which she had received from her husband before marriage in a box and stored the box in a closet in her room. The precocious youth found the box, and seeing so many letters con- ceived the idea of establishing a post route in opposition to Uncle Sam. He filled a small wagon with the missives and unknown to his mother started out on his route. Ile was industrious, and called at every house in the block, leav- ing a letter at each one. When the hopeful was returning he was met by his mother and asked where he had been. He promptly re- plied he was playing letter carrier and volunteered the information that he had "found a lot of letters in a closet up stairs and had left one at every house." The mother had a premonition. She hurried up stairs and discovered that all the antenuptial missives which she had so carefully preserved had been distributed among 'her neighbors. What the neighbors thought of the bil- let doux submitted for their perusal is not known, butthey were all promptly returned.—Pittsburg Press. Jane Wouldn't Stand It. Before marriage she was a school- teacher, and it took a good deal of masculiue tact to wean her from the idea of making a scientific career. But now she presides over a happy little home lu Detroit and is gradually be- coming domesticated. Among the pos- sessions of the family is a cow, which Is milked by the servant girl. She was skimming off some rich, yellow cream the other day when her mistress said: "Jane, do you know that there are In that milk millions of minute organ- isms that look horrid under"— "There's not one, mum," hotly retort- ed Jane.

Their only property Is clothing, weapons for the chase and food, which consists entirely .of meat. blubber and blood. They have no vegetation of any kind, and not even a pinch of salt.

A Gallatin county farmer hired a boy from the city to assist him through the summer. The farmer told the kid to go out to the barn lot and salt the calf. The kid took a quart of salt and industriously rubbed it into the calf's hide. The colts got after the calf for the salt and had about all the hair licked off the animal before its condi- on was discovered. — Montgomery Ills.) News. Knew What Poverty Meant.

A WOMAN'S VETO. Why a Certain Naval Appointment Wats Never Confirmed. An incident which occurred during the first Cleveland administration 11- lustrates the good feeling existing be- tween the newspaper men and the chief of the bureau of naval construc- tion. A certain correspondent, who was on particularly intimate terms with the chief, called at his office and was received with unusual cordiality. Calling the correspondent by his first name, the chief said: "Look here, Blank, I want you to do something for me. Mr. —'s appointment to a place In this department, after being fought through two congresses, has prevailed, has been signed by Secretary Whitney an& only waits the signature of the president.

He left the building and went for Miss —, who was at that time doing Washington society for th'e Associated Press. To her he, told the story and explained what he wanted done. Miss — obtained an audience with Mrs. Cleveland and told what she came for. Mrs. Cleveland went to the president's desk and singled out a paper with the remark, "There, I guess that is the ode you mean." She then turned a corner of the document down and left it. In the course of his work the presi- dent came to the paper and then, in a surprised tone, said to Secretary La- mont, "Dan, do you know anything about this appointment?"

A correspondent of literature sends an interesting anecdote of Balzac to that journal: Leon Gozian used to re- late how he met Balzac one day on the Boulevard des t apucines "dying with hunger." The novelist insisted on tak- ing Gozian to a confectioner who sold macaroni patties. Forgetting his hun- ger, Balzac plunged into an apprecia- tion of Cooper's "Lake Ontario" (new- ly appeared). Gozian noticed that the shop attendant, an English girl, had heard him address Balzac by name and was gazing at the author as though fascinated. She was astounded pres- ently by the appetite of genius for macaroni patties. which disappeared by couples. "How much do I owe you?" asked Balzac. "Nothing, M. Balzac," said the Eng- lish girl firmly. Balzlc was nonplused for a moment. then he pushed his precious copy of "Lake Ontario" into the girls hands, saying, "I can never sufficiently regret, mademoiselle, that I did not write that book."

Only one hundred miles southeast of the fertile grain fields of Eastern Wash- ington, between the Clearwater and Sal- mon rivers, lies what was long known as the Nez Perces Indian country, only recently thrown open to settlement and mining. Since the early sixties, when $38,000,000 was washed out of the rich placers of the Clearwater and Salmon rivers, it has been a tradition among miners that some day great gold discover- ies would be made in the Nez Perces country. The enormous cost of transpor- tation, remoteness from civilization, And consequent impossibility of carrying on large mining operations left the rich quartz ledges—the mother lodes of the placers—untouched. Almost simultane- ously with the completion of the North- ern Pacific's Lewiston extension from Spokane came the announcement of the discovery in the Buffalo Hump range of immense ledges of gold bearing quartz which, cropping out above the surface, and twenty feet or more in width, extend in different directions for many miles. The rapid extension of the Clearwater Line of the Northern Pacific, now build- ing along that river from Lewiston, will scon throw this heretofore almost inac- cessible country open to capital, and modern machinery with American grit will do the rest.

Two pretty double plays were made from Anderson to Dobie in the eight inning, and from Fred Carisch to Hoffman in the ninth. Odegard pitched five innings and Harris three, the former striking out two, and the latter three; Carisch struck out five. Minneapolis made five hits and our boys seven.

BROUGHT BM. ✓ Dr. Thorne Gave Up the Girl • on the Return of Her For- mer Lover, but She Would Not Give Up the Doctor. "Excuse me disturbin you so early, sir, but there's a gentleman 'ere with a cut 'ead, sir, an Mrs. Tressider thought perhaps yon wouldn't mind attendin to it, sir." "A gentleman with a cut head," Dr. Thorne repeated as he watched the gray haired old waiter draw up the blind. "What's he doing with a cut head?" "There's been a wreck chitin the night, sir, off the point; a schooner— she's gone to pieces, but they saved the crew. This gent was the only passen- ger, an they brought 'fm on :ere. Didn't you 'ear it blow, sir?" "Why, no," the doctor answered.. "I dropped off to sleep at once, and I never woke until yon knocked. Is the gentleman badly hurt-?" "N -o, I shouldn't t sayeis; . e any rate, 'e made a capital. breakfast, an 'e's amokin 'is cigar in the parlor now, sir. 'E seems one of the 'ard sort, sir. Why, 'e drunk asmuchbrandy when they bronght 'im in as would 'ave killed many a one." "Well, tell him I'll be down in a few minutes," Dr. Thorne said as be prepared to rise, and with a word of assent the old waiter withdrew. The window overlooked ve looked the sea, and the masses of seaweed and heaps of wreckage with which the beach was strewn testified to the violence of the storm. Having completed his toilet, he .a once descended to the sitting room. The door was partly ajar, and he en- tered without knocking, only to stagger back with a loud cry as his eyes rested on the man who was sitting smoking by the fire. This man, a broad shoul- dered young fellow, with a handsome, reckless face, dropped, his cigar in as- tonishment. "The d -e -v -i-11" he . ejaculated slow- ly; then with a grim laugh ; "Come in, man. I'm not a ghost, though perhaps you think it." Thorne, bis face as gray as the morning sky, dropped into the nearest chair. He seemed to be aging rapidly. "Here, have a pull at the brandy," the other said roughly. "I dare say it does give a chap the funk when he eees a man he thought bad gone to Davy Jones and the one man in the world be wanted there, eh ? Gad, it's a rum go, is t"his.. I suppose you'd given me up long ago, eh?" - "Ye -es," Thorne stammered, wiping his brow. "News reached us that the Kangaroo bad gonedown with all bands 013 board." "Ab, well, all hands didn't go down, the other replied, with a mali- cious grin that the bandage round his temples rendered hideous, "though it was a near shave. I got hold of a spar and lashed myself to it. Then I was chucked up on a desert island, a regu- lar Robinson Crusoe. I lived there six months, principally on shellfish and sea birds' eggs. Then this Spanish chap picked me up, and last night I was ship- wrecked a second time. However, I'm none the worse for my adventures, with the exception of a crack on - the skull. A falling spar did that. Thilt's my tale in a nutshell. Now let's hear about Loo? You're not spliced to her ,yet, I hope." "No, no." "But you are going to be, I'll lay a dollar." "We -e are engaged," Thorne said in a low voice. - "Gad 1 I knew it." And he laughed boisterously. "You see," the other went on in an explanatory tone, "I thought you were dead, add she cared for me before yon took—before she met yon. But of course our engagement is at an end DOW." "I should think so indeed." "Yes, I shall leave here at once. You will explain perhaps"— "With pleasure. She is staying down here, eh ?" - "Yes; they have a cottage." "Good 1 I'll try and toddle over when I've bad my head seen to. It'll be a surprise for 'em." "Wouldn't it be better if you gave them a little warning?" Thorne eng- gested. "The shock might prove"— "Then perhaps yon'd like"— "No, no; I couldn't." His companion laughed and then submitted himself to the other's skillful bands. In a few minutes Thorne had dressed the cut, and he at once went up stairs to pack. Wben be reached his room, however, he sank into a chair, with that hopeless look in his eyes which only comes to a man when he loses the woman be loves. His story was a little out of common. This was the second time he had been engaged to the girl be should so soon have led to the altar. He had made her - acquaintance duringa visit to the country three years previously. She was the daughter of a country parson— a pretty, shy girl who had spent every day of her 18 years in the seclusion of a sleepy hamlet. In a day he learned to love her, but several months passed be- fore he dared speak of bis love. Even then he bad taken her by surprise. She had yielded to his passion, however, and they bad plighted their troth in the rectory garden. She was only a child, and he was a man -12 years her senior and rendered grave beyond bis years by a long struggle against adverse circum- stances. After that she had_gone to London to visit some friend—W.—they were tastaon able folk, and they had laughed also a her big, awkward loiter. They brough her "ont. She met many men, .mon them his cerasin. He had made love t g 0 her—in a fashion that was the direct opposite of her lover's undemonstrative way—and she had been dazzled, an a moth is dazzled by a bright light. So she had chosen. He had accepted ,his fate withont a word., It was natural that she should care for this younger man. Then Craven's friends found him an easy berth in one of the colonies. He was to proceed there at once, and at the end of a year he was to return home and marry her. He bad suffered shipwreck, however, and ho had been given up as dead. In duecourseThorne, whose love bad not abated a jot, had renewed his- snit. She had told him that her heart was with the dead, that she could never love again, but that if he liked to take her knowing that— well, once again they had become en- gaged, and once again fate -had inter- vened. With a heart full of bitterness he waited for the London train, It was late, and he strode the narrow platform impatiently. He was eager to get away He meant to go away forever. He would leave the country. He wonld travel. 'In a fresh land, among fres people, perhaps he might forget. Would it never come? He looked at his watch for the twentieth time. He seemed to be the only passenger. Yet stay—as a trail of smoke denoted the train's approach some one hurried on the platform in breathless haste. It was a girl, a pretty girl, but evidently suffering from great agitation. She gave a hurried glance up and down the platform, and as she caught sight of his motionless figure she went straight to him. "Ab, thank heaven I am in time!" she gasped. At the sound of •her voice befell back and his bag dropped. "Loo, yon I" be cried. "How did yon ? What do you ?"— "What do I want?" she said. "I want you. "- - He stared at her in round eyed amazement. "But—but yon do not know," he. cried. - "I know everything." "You—yon have seen him ?" "Yes." • There was a pause. A porter hurried up. "Goin, sir?" "No," she answered qnickly, and, taking his arm, she drew him aside. "Oh, John, it was all a mistake!" she said. "I was a silly girl, but it is different now. Yon bad my heart all the time, but I did not know it. But I know it now, and—and I have come to tell yon, only I can't tell you very well here. See, the train has gone. Come back with me." And he came.—Chicago News. The Wearing of Gloves. Originally the wearing of gloves- was conducted on the same sound princi- ple that inspires a miller to wear a white hat, but long ago the custom de- parted from the primitive idea of use- fulness. According to the encyclope- dias, Laertes was the first to wear a glove. The fernier 'king was not fash- ionable, bat it is set forth in the "Odys- sey" that in his capacity of farmer he had to deal with certain brambly bushes, and be must also keep his bands in a kingly condition; hence the introduction of gloves. Since that time , gloves have had many and strange significances, from a seal of the transfer of property to a challenge to single combat. Not until centuries later did they begin to take on class significance. It was when they were adopted by royalty that the wear- ing of gloves was first regarded as a mark of station. Some of the early English kinge were ,buried with gloves on, and when the manufacture of gloves was introduced in Great Britain it was considered as a craft of great dignity and importance. During the reign of King Robert III of Scotland the incor- poration of the Glovers of Perth, a wealthy guild which still exists, was chartered and received armorial bear- ings. But, although gloves were started on their career through the centuries by men. it has fallen to the women to bring them ireto universal popularity. - Animals at Play. Cats delight in racing about, but not so often, I think, in circles, as dogs do. They prefer straight lines and sharp turns with the genuine goat jump. This sudden flight into the air, which appears to take place without the ani- mal's knowledge or intention, cannot here be preparatory to life in the moun- tains, but the cat finds the high jump very useful, not only in pouncing on its prey, but in escaping its hereditary enemy. Brehm records, a movement play of young chamois. When in summer the young chamois climb up to the per- petual snow, they delight to play on it. They throw themselves in a crouching position on the upper end of a steep, snow covered incline, work all four leg) with a swimming motion to get a start and then slide down on the surface of the snow, often travereing a distance of from 100 to 150 meters in this way, while the snow flies up and covers- them with a fine powder. Arrived at the bot- tom, they spring to their feet and -slow- ly clamber up again the distance they have *slid down.—"The Play of Ani- mals," by Karl Groos. Variety In Kingly Nicknames. History gives 68 sentimental sur- names to emperors and kings whom it chronicles. For instance, Charles VIII of France bad the alias appellation of "the affable:" Alphonse XI of Leon and Castile, "the avenger;" " Victor Emmanuel, "regalantuomo." Many potentates are ranked by his- tory under the same alias. Eight are "good," 41 the "great," 7 are "con- querors," 2 "cruel," 2 "fair" and 4 "fat." Cause For a Razor Duel.

The accompanying ,picture is of the. largest incandescent electric lamp ever made, says 'the Chicago Tribune. The ordinary lamp can be bought' for 25 cents. It cost $1,000 to build and in- stall this giant, which. except as to size and power and in the filaments - used, differs in no way from the little 16 candle power bulbs used every- where. - The nominal power of the big one is equal to 5,000 candles. Every part of it ' had to be specially and carefully made, and some of the parts were com- pleted only after considerable experi- ment and several failures. Its incan- descent part is made of the standard double filament type, the two filaments being parallel with each other. Each consumes a full 236 volts, the total requiring a current strength of over 60 amperes. The lamp was exhibited recently in New York. It appeared like a sun, and the intense yellow glow was pain- ful to the eyes of many people. in the exhibition the lamp was hung in . a f'I 1I • `PERSPIRATION ESSENTIAL. Even if Excessive It Is a Condition to Re Sought. Perspiration is essential to health, writes Edward B. Warman in The Ladies' Home Journal. A person in good health never suffers from the heat or the cold unless unduly exposed. One may be inconvenienced by, ex- cestltive perspiration, but it is a condi- tion of health rather to be sought than to be avoided. - Too much of a good thing, however, is not desirable. Prop- er care of the body; proper diet, prop- er exercise, with proper bathing, will produce the normal condition, in which condition the heat will not oppress any one. Let me especially caution against too sudden checking of per spiration. Millions of canals or tubes from the inner part of the body open their little mouths at the ,surface, and through these channels, as ceaseless as the flow of time, a fluid containing the wastes and impurities of the system 19 passing outward and is emptied out of the skin. This fluid must have exit or we die in a few hours. If it does not have vent at the surface of the body, it must have some internal escape. Na- ture abhors shocks as she does a vacu- um. Heat distends the mouths of these ducts and promotes a larger and more rapid flow of the contained fluid. On the other hand, cold contracts them, and the fluid is at first arrested, then dammed up, and then it rebounds. If these mouths are gradually closed, na- ture has time to adapt herself to the circumstances by opening her chan- nels into the great internal waterways of the body, and . no harm follows; hence the safety and wisdom of cool- ing off slowly after any exertion and the danger of cooling off rapidly under the same . circumstances. Encourage perspiration under proper conditions and with proper precautions. Always keep the surface of the bod warm and clean, and at the end of the ason you will b e mentally, moral] and physically sound. Three Bladed Cultivator. The utility of this implement is so ♦ manifest that It must surely be covet- ed by every up to date gardener. The shanks and blades are all steel and FIVE THOUSAND CANDLE POWER INCANDES- CENT LAMP, - position the reverse of that shown to the illustration. It was feared that f: installed in the regular way the fila- ments would droop. The result proved that the glass bulb was incapable of withstanding the in tense heat developed. for it collapsed under the atmospheric pressure and the lamp burned out. Electrical engi- neers who saw its glorious illumina- tion said a larger bulb in an upright position would eliminate the danger of collapse. The big lamp was an experiment made along a line now engaging much -attention, that of devising lin electric light for lighthouses, locomotives, etc. The arc light, which is immensely cheaper to operate than an incan- desgent lamp of corresponding power, is a failure as a beacon for mariners save in the clearest atmosphere, a con- dition which is rare on many parts of the seacoast in this country. A fog has the effect of blotting out or absorb- ing the white arc light. The yellow rays of the glowing filaments iu an air exhausted bulb have- far greater pene- trative power. although they are still inferior to the illumination of the oil lamps. A group or cluster of incandescent electric lamps does not appear to meet the delicate requirements, of a light• house beacon. One lamp, it is conclud- ed, 'must perform the work. This big lamp is the latest effort of its makers to produce what is required, and it is the evolution of numerous others, each a little larger than the one before, and it is said the present big one will be succeeded by one yet larger in the course of the"experimentation. Oscillation of Teasels. The oscillation of ships can be meas- ured by a special gyrascopic device manufactured by Messrs. Guzzi, Raviz- za & Co. of Milan - rind known as the oscillometer. This instrument con- sists of a small electric motor mount- ed in gimbals, like a ship's compass, with its armature running in a vertical position at a very high rate of speed. As the ship rolls, the armature main- tains its original position, while the frame stipporting the gimbal rings fol- lows the motion of the ship. Suitable scales and pointers are provided, so that the amount of movement can be accurately determined. Another in- strument made by the same company and known as the gyroscopic compass is constructed upon the same princi- ple, with a horizontal dial like the or- dinary mariner's compass. The frame of this instrument, being attached to the vessel, follows any change in di- rection, whilethe.motor armature con- tinues to revolve always in the original plane. In this way any change- in di- rection of the vessel is at once ind!- eated. - Disinfecting Bank -Notes. An Italian medical journal calls at- tention to the fact that a Brussels bank disinfects all its soiled notes and commends the practice which is fol- lowed by the bank of England of de- sttoying all its notes that come back to the bank. Qur own government would be very wise in following such a course. Where the notes are very old they are destroyed, it is true, but every note ought to be as soon as it gets in the hands of the government.

Scripture in Science states the following observations of instinct aroused only by taste: A dead mouse was given to two kittens 8 weeks old. They showed . no interest in it from sight or smell, but as soon as they were made to taste the mouse they went Into a flphting passion, which re- mained as long as the mouse was tast- ed. When they were forced to give up the mouse, all interest was lost and could not be aroused even by smell. Yet as soon as the tongue again touch- ed the mouse the kitten fell into the same passion of fighting. One test showed marked results. Giving the mouse to one kitten, I held it, scratch- ing vigorously, in one hand, while with the other hand I made the other kit- ten touch and smell the mouse and finally taste it. As long as the second one did not taste the mouse it showed no interest, but it began to fight vigor- ously at the moment of tasting. As soon as the first kitten was made to re- lease its hold on the mouse it at once ceased to show any interest. Goat'. Milk. Modern Medicine says that goat's milk, contrary to the general impres- sions, differs from cow's milk not in being more digestible, but ie being less digestible and less nutritious, al- though it contains a larger amount of solid ..clatter than cow's milk. It is indeed the most indigestible of all milk. - - Goat's milk has a peculiar and un- pleasant odor and flavor, due to hircic acid or bircine. It contains an excess of fat and is therefore altogether too rich for an infant's diet. Derided. An Austin colored waiter told a Bos- ton man at a hotel that in eastern Texas a white man had married a ne- gro woman, "Was he not derided?" asked the Bostonian in the classic speech of the "Hub of Culture." "He was, salt," beamed the negro. i "Dey sided him out ob town on -k rail." --Household Words. Worthy of Worship. "Few gwaoious sake, deah boy, who was that common fellaw you let shake youah hand?"

"My wife went west the other day to visit her sister who lives in California," said prown with a smile. "I was un- able ro go with her on account of being detained here on 'a matter of business that needed my attention; so I went with her as far as Chicago, saw her safely on an overland train and then came back. But before I left her I looked up the porter and gave him half of a $5 bill that I had torn in two, say- ing that my wife had the other half and that he would get that at the end of the journey if he would see that she needed for nothing on the trip." The porter's eyes stuck out, and he faithfully promised that my wife would receive the best of care; so I came away feeling that she would not lack for anything. "When I returned home I discovered to my horror that I hail neglected to give my wife the other alai: of the bill. Today I received a letter trout her re- minding me of that fact and saying that she had torn a dollar bill in two and given it to the porter. "Somewhere along the line there must be a wild eyed darky with the halves of two worthless bilis in his possession and a firm conviction that he has been worked by some sort of a new flimflam game. "I am very anxious to have my wife return so I can find out from her what sort of reasoning she used when she gave that porter a half instead of the whole of that $1 bill,"—Detroit Free Press. Changed Her Mind Too. A young couple in a Lancashire vil- lage had been courting for several years. The young man one day said to the _woman: "Sall, I canna marry thee." "Hotv's that?" asked she. "I've changed my mind," said he. "Well, I'll tell you what we'll do," said she. "If folk know that it's thee as has given me up, I sj anna be able to get another chap, but if they think that I've given you up then I can get another chap. So we'll have banns published, and when the wedding day comes the parson will say to thee, 'Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife?' and tha must say, 'I will.' And when he says to me. 'Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband?' I shall say, I winna.'" The day came, and when the minister said, "Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife?" the man answered: "I will." Then the parson said to the woman: "Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband?" And she said: "I will." "Why," said the young man furious- ly, "you said you would say, 'I win- "I know that," said the young wom- an, "but I've changed my mind since." —London Answers. He Didn't Bite. "I never can tell a story and have it come out all right," said a little wo- man plaintively the other day. "I thought 1 had such a good -one not long ago. 1 was walking along and heard one street boy say to another, 'Oh, you go buy 10 cents' worth of potash.' 'What for?' says No. 2. 'For 10 cents,' yelled the other, and ran off giggling. "I thought it was pretty good, and I'd try it on Charlie at supper. But when I told him to go buy 10 cents' worth of potash he never said a word, and I knew another joke had fallen flat and kept still. But the worst was later. He put on his hat and vanished after supper, coming back in a minute with a little parcel that he handed to me. " `What's that?' asked I. Why, the potash you said you wanted,' answered he, and I nearly had hysterics on the spot. Did you ever hear anything so perfectly awful? I won't ever try to get off anything funny again."

THE EATERS OF CLAY THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO FEED ON DIRT. In Java the Women Eat Cakes of Earth to Keep Themselves Slender, and In Nev Caledonia the Natives Feed on Friable Stones. No collection of national dishes in- cludes earth or clay among them, but this is a favorite "plat" with a good many millions of people up and down. Even In Europe they aro not difficult to find, or were not t5O years ago. Tastes have changed a good deal since then, no doubt. But human beings do not readily give up a favorite dish, es- pecially when it is cheap. If superior persons denounce it, they enjoy the treat on the sly. Probably the quarrymen of Kiffhae- sen no longer breakfast In public upon slices of bread "buttered" with fine clay. as Humboldt saw them, but we should be rather surprised to learn that thrifty souls among them do not follow the custom of their ancestors In private. Humboldt was reminded Of that early experience upon the banks of the Amur, where he saw Russian soldiers eating what they called "rock butter," a similar clay. Mr. Laing had tpe good fortune to ob- serve the first ace reclation of the deli- cacy, or almost, to one district of Swe- den. Five years only before he made the "tour" so famous In our grandsires' time there was dearth in the country. The people had already begun to eat "bark bread," when a very poor wood- man noticed some white stuff among the roots of a tree he felled. It looked so clean and nice that he carried home a basketful, mixed It with rye and bark and baked it. The loaf proved to be excellent, and no disagreeable con- sequences followed. So the woodman told his neighbors, and a rush set in. When the magistrates heard of this abnormal provender, they forbade the use of it, of course; that would be the natural impulse of the superior per- son. But the peasantry were not to be persuaded or coerced into rejecting food which they knew by experience to be wholesome and nourishing. When Air. Laing visited the district— it is called Degenfors—they were us- ing the stuff both for soup and bread. Samples dispatched to Stockholm for analysis gave "finely pulverized flint and feldspar, lime, clay, oxide of iron and a residuum of some organic matter similar to animal which yielded am- monia and an o11." It is organic matter which contains the nourishment everywhere, no doubt, if nourishment there be. But that is not always the case, and earth eating seems to deserve more attention than has yet been paid to it, so far as our reading goes. Commonly it is dismiss- ed as a degrading practice of savages. But German quarrymen, Swedes, even Russian soldiers, are not to be classed with savages. Nor are the potters of Scinde. Their work is fashionable at present and they make money—that is, by the Indian standard. But among their weekly expenses an allowance must be made for the quantity of "chanfah" which their wives and ehil• dren consume; "chanfah" is a white, unctuous earth used for glazing pot- tery. But, as a rule, of course, it is sav- ages who affect this diet, alike useful and agreeable to their taste. Few un- derstand, perhaps, how common it Is. Instances might be found in every con- tinent and every zone by any one who looked into the matter thoroughly. We give a few which recur to mind. The Ainos are enthusiastic earth eat- ers. In the north of their island is a valley where alone the material can be dug, but It is carried to all parts. They boil it with the root of the wild lily. When a certain proportion of the clay has settled, the remainder is pour- ed off and eaten like cream. Sir Spencer St. John reports that the Sea Dyaks always took a supply of red ochre on their piratical expeditions as a reserve in case stores should run Short, "and we once found in some de- serted Seribas praus many packets of a white, oleaginous clay used for the same purpose." In Java little cakes of earth are sold in the market; women buy and eat them to preserve a slender shape. The treatment succeeds, for they lose all appetite. Humboldt asserts that the Indians of Quito put earth and quartz sand into their drinking water; but this is not unusual, so far as the earth goes, at least. We have heard a Boer family complain that they could no- where get good water when absent from their home on the banks of the Orange. The water of the Orange is a "puree" of mud; hence its name. The peoples of New Caledonia eat pieces of a friable stone, "Lapis ol- laris." Messrs. Cloquet and Brischet, traveling in those islands, could get no food MP several days. They came upon some green laminate talc and ate five ounces each; their strength return- ed, and they never felt any inconveni- ence. The Ottomac Indians of South America live exclusively on fish when they can get it. But during the sea- son tof floods there is no fishing, and they manage very comfortably with earth. Moreover, they find the diet so agreeable that during the rest of the year they eat a ball of clay for dessert. Evidently it agrees with them, for the Ottomacs are very tall and robust.— fall Mall Gazette. Queen of the Home. "I thought you were going to break up housekeeping?"

The Affliction Is Not Confined to Be- ginners Before the Footlights, but Has Been Known to Attack Players of Experience. "Of all the many ills to which the- atrical flesh is heir," sf id an old physician who has a large clientele of actors, "the worst is stage fright. This is nothing less than a species of heart disease, induced by the nervous dread that one's performance may not be suc- cessful. This naturally attacks begin- ners more often than old stagers, and yet lnstances are by no means isolated where death has been brought about through its evils, even in the case of old timers. "Perhaps, however, the most peculiar instance of all was that of the veteran performer who had gone through 30 years of stage work without experienc- ing this malady. One night, however, he confided to a fellow player that a quite unaccountable nervousness had suddenly taken hold of him and that he did not think he could ever act again. "His comrade laughed at the notion and urged him to go on, as usual, but his astonishment may well be con- ceived when the poor old player went on the stage and, after making several vain efforts to speak, fell back and ex- pired. The doctor who made the post mortem examination stated that death was due to failure of the heart's action, evidently induced by the presence of an attack of stage fright. "Death is by no means an infrequent end to the trouble, and more than one case in my own practice has ended fa- tally. It is not always the person whose heart is already affected who suffers the most, either, for I recall one case some years ago where a young woman whose heart I knew to be perfectly normal made her professional debut in this city. While standing in the wings awaiting her first cue she was seized with an attack of stage fright and trembled violently. "Not till she heard the line spoken which was her signal for entrance did she make any effort at recovery, and then, to the surprise of those who were trying to get her in shape, she braced up and went on the stage as though she had been on the boards for years. She went through her part mechanically and without apparent consciousness of her actions, but she played the scene better than she had done at rehearsal. "At the close of her scene she came off the stage, staggered to her dressing room and sank unconscious to the floor. She never recovered from her coma, and an autopsy developed the fact that she had died of heart disease, though I had examined her shortly before and could find no trace of cardiac affection. "Several standard authorities quote the case of a young English aspirant who came to the theater on the night of his debut in a state bordering on nervous prostration. He was braced up on brandy and given encourage- ment by those on the stage with him, but no soouer had he stepped upon the stage than lie clapped his hand upon his heart and fell dead. The excite- ment had ruptured the valves of his heart, and he had ended his career as he was about to begin it. "One curlbus case was told me not long ago by one of the physicians at Bloomingdale. A young man, a 'mem- ber of a college dramatic club, was brought there for treatment. He had been cast for a part in the spring production, and this extra study, add- ed to the regular studies Imposed by the collegiate course, caused some- thing to give way. On the occasion of the dress rehearsal It was found that he could not remember a line of his part, and this so worried him that he broke down and was brought here. "For several weeks he could not speak an intelligent sentence, and then suddenly his part came back to him, and he could go through It, cues and all, without a break. For another full week he kept going through the lines of his part, and then developed a severe attack of brain fever, from which he came out perfectly rational, but, oddly enough, with absolutely no memory of the lines of the play in question.

Why Women Fight Seasickness. "Are women more subject to sea- sickness than men?" An Atlantic captain replies: "Yes; but, on the other hand, they stand it better. A woman struggles up to the point of despair against the—what I might call the impropriety of the thing. She Is not so much tortured by the pangs as she is worried by the pros- pect of becoming disheveled, haggard and draggled. She fights against it to the last and keeps up appearances as long as she can hold up her head." Envious Iafereaoe. "What a happy, good natured, jell: girl Mand is!

A Chef Who Says This Fish Is Not Appreciated at His Real Worth. "If codfish cost a dollar a pound," said the chef, "it would be more uni- versally beloved. I tell you, it is the best dinner fish known. I have tried the whitefish all over the world, but the codfish 1s icing of them all and is not appreciated at his real worth. Cook him 1n any way you like and he is delicious. Even the dried codfish, picked up and served In cream for breakfast, Is a fine dish. Put him In a bag, sew him up tightly, and let him boll, or bake him carefully, well stuff- ed, and he is delicious. "Let me tell you that when you make fish cakes you should not drown out the fish with potato. Put as little po- tato or other substance In the cakes as possible, and, if you want them as fine as they can be made, wrap them in a blanket of eggs, and do not be sparing of the egg. You can make a tasty dish of codfish cakes if you will follow my advice. Fish cakes are con- sidered a very democratic dish, of course, but my patron, who pays me a large salary, is as democratic as he used to be in his younger days. When he sends down to me an order for fish cakes for the next morning's break- fast, be says he wants Meschutt's fish cakes, with egg. That is the order, and he is thinking of his younger life when, as he once told me, in a base- ment on Broadway he used to get the finest butter cakes and fish cakes he ever tasted, 'excepting yours, chef,' he adds always. But I know that dimes in those days were as $1,000 bills are to him now and his appetite was keener and more appreciative."— New York Sun. SAUCY, BUT SELF RELIANT. Such Is the Typical East Side Girl of New York City. "The typical east side girl of New York," writes Charles T. Brodhead in The Ladies' Home Journal, "is simply a product of her environments. She 18 surrounded by the good, bad and indif- ferent. She Is in an atmosphere in which no girl should be reared. Her eyes and ears are closed to many dis- agreeable things around her. And she shuts them simply because she does not care to see and hear. Yet the east side girl is no saint. Far from it. The typical girl of that section 18 self re- liant, saucy, impertinent, slangy, quick tempered, ready to fight with the tongue, and even with fists if neces- sary. She will dance all night and work all day, repeat it three or four times a week, then declare she isn't tired and look bright and fresh all the while. She will upbraid her mother, whom she calls 'me ole woman;' and abuse her father, referred to by her as 'me ole man;' cuff the ears of her younger brothers; have a hair pulling match with a sister; yet if any one should dare utter a word derogatory to the members of her family, 'Miss East Side' would go at them like a wildcat. She flirts outrageously with motormen, conductors and the like and will laugh derisively at or slap the face of the well dressed man who presumes to become acquainted with her on the street; remain night after night at the bedside of a girl friend who is 111 and follow a begging cripple half a block to give her last cent for charity." Evart.' Puns. William M. Evarts, secretary of state under President Hayes, made perhaps his best and his worst puns from railway platforms while travel- ing with the presidential party. They had ascended Mount Washing- ton by the steep cable road, and other tourists, gathered there from all parts of the country, called for a speech. "We are not strangers," said Mr. Evarts genially. "We have all been born and brought up here." At another time, when traveling through Tennessee, Mr. Everts laid a wager with the young people of his party that he could make a pun upon each town through which they should pass. As they reached Chattanooga the crowd clamored for a speech. Mr. Everts pleaded that as the train would stop but a moment he could only make a few Chattanoogatory remarks! The unexpected element which char- acterizes a pun was marked In all the wit of Rufus Choate. "I can't endure S.1" he once exclaimed of another fa- mous Bostonian. "I should not care If I should never see him again." Then half remorsefully, "Well, I should not care if I should see him in a proces- sion." Making a Child Too Gimlet. Play is the proper and natural outlet for a child's thoughts. To restrain his motion is to drive back his living fancy into the recesses of his mind, and this results in his cbntusion and unhappi- ness. Some children who are forced to be still and passive when they are longing for action find relief in whis- pering over stories to themselves, but It Is an unsatisfactory substitute for dramatic action. And it is also moral- ly injurious, for the necessity of con- cealing one's ideas destroys after awhile the ability for fluent expres- sion and brings about timidity and dis- trust of our friends. Florence Hull Winterburn in Woman's Home Com- panion. The Red sea. At certain seasons of the year the Red sea is almost unbearable. The water taken from 70 to 80 feet below the surface of the sea at 8 o'clock in the morning will often register a tem- perature as high as 90 degrees.

THE WORD BLIZZARD. S aid to Have Beata L'.ed In South Da- kota In the Sixties. A well known book of reference S tates that the Chicago Advance was the origivator of the word "blizzard" on the 8th of January, 1880. Old tim- ers In South Dakota take exception to the statement. A story is told by the editor of the Hutchinson County Her- ald, who commenced his newspaper work on the Dakota Republican, at Vermillion, In August, 1867. The Peake family, Swiss bell ringers, arrived In Vermillion by stage, and William Peake, manager of the bell ringers, said to a party of friends, "I would like to see one of your blizzards 1 have heard so much about." Mr. True answered: "All right. We will order one for your special benefit and have it here when you come back through here from Yankton." After showing three nights in Yank- ton the troupe started homeward to Sioux City, Mr. Peake being on the outside of the stage with the driver. The morning was warm and balmy. Mr. Peake was astonished at the ac- tions of the driver, who suddenly whip- ped up, and asked what the matter was. T. C. Williams, who was driv- ing, answered that he was afraid Mr. t'rue's order was going to be a little ahead of time. "Look to the north- west," said he. There was the blizzard approaching in all its fury. In almost a minute the blinding snow was being whirled through the air, and Mr. Peake withdrew to the inner part of the stage. It was one of the most ter- rific storms known to the territory, which is saying considerable. The Peake troupe was compelled to wait several days at Vermillion until Mr. True's blizzard had blown itself out.— Sioux Falls Argus. READ THE BIBLE 11 TIMES. Began From Cariosity and Contin- ued Through Interest. A stout, elderly man was noticed gazing earnestly at a display of "Bibles in all languages" in a show window. A stroller passing halted to see what this man was gazing at and remarked that there was a fine assortment of Bi- bles. "Yes," said the man, "but I have one at home older and bigger than any of them." There did not seem to be any connection between the age and size of a Bible, so for lack of anything further to say the stroller asked the man if he had ever read his big Bible through. "Yes," was the reply. "I have read It through 11 times." "Holy Moses!" ejaculated the stroller. "What do you think of the Bible after reading it through so many times?" "Well, the Bible is all right. I will tell you how I came to read it through the first time. An old circuit rider who used to visit my father's house when 1 was a boy one Sunday preach- ed a sermon from the text, 'For a plan shall be judged according to the deeds done in the body.' I asked him if that text was to be found in the Bible, and he said, 'Of course it is.' 1 said 1 did not think It was, and he proposed that we both read the Bible through to find it. We did not find it, but I found so many things which interested me that I kept on reading the Bible till I Have gone through it 11 times."—Port- land Oregonian. A Clarions Looking Egg. A shark's egg Is one of the most odd looking things imaginable and has no more resemblance to an egg, strictly speaking, than it has to a paving stone. In one variety It Is pillow shaped and has a long "horn," or "feeler," at each corner. It is about two inches long and the color almost pure black. It Is unprovided with shell, as we understand that word, but the contents are protected by a thick, leathery cov- ering, which has almost as much elas- ticity about it as a covering of rubber would have. The "feelers" mentioned catch hold of and wind themselves around pieces of seaweed and other floating objects and hang until the egg is hatched. One variety of the shark lays 18 eggs during the month of April. These float about until early in December, when the little sharks emerge. Eating Like a Bird. It isn't as polite as it is intended to be to say that a person has the appe- tite of a bird. If a human being ate as much proportionately as does the av- erage bird, the sight would be disgust- ing. Ill one shrike there have been Lound the remains of 79 caterpillars, 24 bugs, one field mouse and one leech. A field hawk that was observed for a month is credited with a record of 1,000 mice in that time. A tame owl ate seven mice, one after the other, and three hours afterward ate four more. The robin eats on an average 14 feet of worms daily. The End. "What have you been writing, my dear?" asked Mrs. Beechwood of her daughter. "These are the last sad writes, mam ma," replied the girl.

HIS WIFE'S ICY STARE. Why It Was Taken on and How It Was Banished. ` He is a prominent lawyer ,in this city. His daughter is 7 years of age and walked to the gate with him one day last week. The little girl kissed her hand to him until he turned the corner. He returned the salutation each time. That night when he came home his wife had an icy stare for him. He wanted to know the trouble, but she only answered, "Nothing." Any question from him received a short, sharp "yes" or "no." After supper she called him into an- other room and said: "Mr. —, Mrs. —, our next door neighbor, was over to see me this afternoon. She inform- ed me of your conduct when you walk- ed down the street, throwing kiss after kiss to her. She said her husband was not at home or he would shoot you. Will you please invent some plausible excuse that I can give to my neigh- bor to explain away your reprehensi- ble conduct?" He was up against the knottiest proposition of his life. He thought long and hard, and finally the light dawned upon him. He rushed fran- tically out of the room and returned with his beloved child in his arms. "Daughter," he said, "please tell your mother what you and papa were do- ing after dinner today." "We was throwing kisses at each other until pap turned the corner." So quickly was the prosecution dis- missed and in such a convincing man- ner that the lawyer swooned away when he thought of his narrow escape. Suppose the child had forgotten the oc- currence! There would have been a hot time in town that night. But there's a decided coolness now be- tween the two women.—Owensboro Messenger. Love at First Sight. Believers in the possibility of love at first sight may feel a sympathetic in- terest, and perhaps find a Darwinian argument, in a story of the first meet- ing Of two apes in the London zoo. We retell the tale from "Wild Animals In Captivity." Sarah was seated alone in her cage when a new ape made his appearance In front of the bars. Instantly both animals uttered short cries, and, bend- ing toward each other, protruded their thin lips until they met across the bars of the cage. Then, as the keeper threw open the cage door, the apes rushed in- to each other's arms and, squatting on the floor, hugged each other with comic affection. In a few seconds they rose, and, standing erect, raised their arms above their heads, grasped each other's front paws and screamed and howled in mutual appreciation. Let us hope that they lived happy ever after. As to the Contrariety of Barbers. "Every barber on earth," said the observant man, "has one habit that drives me to drink. He gets you nice- ly lathered up, strops a razor careful- ly and then makes one sweep with the blade across your face. Then he looks at you inquiringly and suspends operations while he asks, 'Razor suit you, sir? If you answer yes, he al- ways turns around and strops the ra- zor two or three times, or else he promptly changes the blade. Why be should do either when you say you are satisfied I cannot fathom. Lately I have always said that the razor did not suit, and In nearly every case the barber kept serenely at work with the same razor. I might add that that's the reason that I am now shaving my- self."—New York Sun. Bound to Kill. A story is being told of a country doctor who was going his rounds one morning with a gun on his shoulder. He was a keen sportsman and was looking forward to polishing off a little game when his professional duties were over. A friend meeting him and seeing him with the gun exclaimed: "Where are yon going, doctor, so early in the day with that deadly weapon on your shoulder?" "I'm hurrying off to see a patient," he replied. "Well," said his friend, "I see you are determined not to miss him." The Old, Old Story.

Trouble la Disposlag 08 the old Stock. In Dearborn street is a haberdasher —time was when they answered to a less formidable name—who counts a genius -among his employees. This "favored of fortune" Is a youth who once clerked In a general store in the country, and his present proprietor wonders if there are any more like him running at large in the provinces. There had been a stock of cheap col- lars and cuffs on the shelves for years. Once in awhile, usually jest before in- voicing, these articles had been brought down, carefully dusted, tied with new baby ribbon, arranged in or- derly fashion in the window and mark- ed "9 cents" for the cuffs, "5 cents" for the collars. But patrons would none of them. Occasionally a man would come along and toss them over, attracted by the price, but that was all. They would not sell. The country youth welted till the first hard rain. Then he took an arm- ful of the goods and dipped them care- fully in a pail of water so that about half of each article was moistened. Then he dried them in the sun at the back door and next morning heaped them In the window with this mark- ing: Ruined by the Rain. t Collars, 10 Cents. t Cuffs, 20 Cents: And they went before noon. It was all the genius from the country could do to get subsequent armfuls soaked and dried fast enough to supply the demand.—Chicago Post. STRONG ROOMS. Remarkable Expedients Adopted to Save Some Fabulous Fortunes. The Bank of England's strong room Is one of the largest in the world. The foundation, 66 feet below the street level, is a bed of concrete 20 feet thick. Above this is a lake seven feet deep and above that thick plates of iron specially manufactured to resist both skill and force. Any one attempting an entrance from above would find a similar bed of concrete, a similar lake and similar plates of iron. The walla are impenetrable, whlle the doors are one foot thick, weigh four tons each and are made absolutely undrlllable. Mr. W. W. Astor's valuables are stor- ed 1n the office of the Pall Mall Ga- zette In one of the most remarkable strong rooms ever erected. It is steel throughout and covered witn half an inch of solid concrete. The door, also of solid steel, weighs over two tons and has, the most remarkable lock which the ingenuity of Chubb has ever constructed. The whole cost a fabulous sum, but this is not surprising when we are told that Mr. Astor locks up about £8,000,000 worth of valuables and money in this room. The Imperial Ottoman bank, Con- stantinople, had a marvelous steel fort built upon a water bearing rock, and on top of the rock foundation Is a four toot bed of concrete. The height Is over 36 feet, length 46 feet and width 24 feet. The steel walls are surround- ed by masonry and concrete six feet thick throughout, while the whole com- prises nearly 30 tons of steel.—St. Paul Globe. Sure of Water. Sir Joseph Prestwich had bought in 1864 a small estate near Sevenoaks, on which he built a residence, but it was high up on a dry and treeless chalk down. Where was water to be found? "So confident was Prestwich in re- spect of water supply that he at once engaged an old well digger to sink a well 168 feet deep. The boring pro- ceeded, but when a depth of 166 feet was reached the two workmen went to the city and sought an interview with their employer, whom they found at his desk. They explained that there was no sign of water and that in their opinion it was useless to bore to a greater depth. 'Go on,' was the quiet rejoinder, 'you will come upon water to- morrow. You are within two feet of it.' "Next day it proved exactly as Prest- wich had foretold. And ever after, among many of the denizens of the val- ley, he had the reputation, much to his amusement, of not being quite 'canny.' "—Lite and Letters of Sir Jo- seph Prestwich.

Powder Hot Even With Randolph. Obe night when traveling thro Virginia John Randolph stopped at an inn near the forks of two roads. The innkeeper was a fine old gentleman, and, knowing who his distinguished guest was, he endeavored during the evening to draw him into a conversa- tion, but failed. But In the morning, when Mr. Randolph was ready to start, he called for his bill and paid it. The landlord, still anxious to have some conversation, tackled him again: "Which way are you traveling, Mr. Randolph?" "Sir!" said Mr. Randolph, with a look of displeasure. "I asked," said the landlord, "which way you are traveling?" "Have I paid you my bill?" "Do I owe you anything more?" "No." "Well, I am going just where I please. Do you understand?" "Yes." The landlord by this time got some- what excited, and Mr. Randolph drove off. But to the landlord's surprise in a few minutes he sent one of the serv- ants to inquire which of the forks of the road to take. Mr. Randolph, still being within hearing distance, the landlord yelled at the top of his voice: "Mr. Randolph, you don't owe me one cent; take whichever road yogi please!" A Habit. The lawyer asked the witness if an incident previously alluded to wasn't a miracle, and the witness said he didn't know what -,a miracle was. "Oh, come," said the attorney.

"Yes, yes; but what else would you call it? Well, suppose you were doing the same thing the next day; suppose you looked out of the twentieth story window and fell out and again should find yourself not injured. Now, what would you call that?" "A coincidence," said the witness. "Oh, cone, now," the lawyer began again. "I want you to understand what a miracle is, and I'm sure you do. Now, just suppose that on the third day you were looking out of the twen- tieth story window and fell out and struck your head on the pavement 20 stories below and were not in the least injured. Come, now, what would you call it?" "Three tiines?" said the witness, rousing a little from his apathy. "Well, I'd call that a habit." And the lawyer gave it up.—Gentle- woman. Crime Detecting by a Lock of Hair. One recalls the method of discover- ing a thief by chewing rice, said to have been practiced in the east. But it is not necessary to go so far to find a more remarkable method of thief catching and not so well supported by sound reason. A lady in Paris is re- ported to have lost her purse in a dressmaker's establishment. She had all the young ladies of the establish- ment called in, so It is seriously report- ed, and demanded from each one a lock of her hair. The tokens were then pinned to pieces of paper bearing the owner's names, and as the customer left the establishment she remarked: "My purse has been stolen, but as I do not wish to subject innocent girls to the humiliation of being searched I intend early tomorrow morning to submit your hair and handwritings to a som- nambulist and clairvoyant, who will tell me which of you is the thief." In the course of the evening the lady received an anonymous parcel con- taining intact her purse with its con- tents. The Mug Pleased Him.

Lind is evidently preparing a nice little whip saw on the grain in- spection business. It is noticed that the only changes made are in the heads of departments. The people who do the work are all republicans yet, and it is not likely they will be changed before the crop is inspected. If the grain turns out more satisfac- rily than heretofore, he will point to the fact of changes in the heads of departments as the cause; if the grade continues unsatisfactory, it will be laid to the republican under- strappers. There are no flies on Messrs. Lind and Rosing.—Elk River Star News.

Free Delivery of Country Mai1e. Good for the editor of The Fari- bault Democrat. He is the first one to protest against the gigantic scheme of free delivery of country mails. All the other papers think they will sell a few more copies of their dailies, and so are willing to help the thing along. The congressmen think they will have a stronger pull on a few of their constituents, and so they urge it on. The people themselves do not want it except as a child wants a new plaything or a woman a chance at a bargain counter, to get something for nothing. The expense is estimat- ed at twenty-four millions a year when all the people are served, and it will soon be found to be a damage to the country aside from expense, by the isolation of families. The old stamping ground of the men, the country store and postofiBce, will soon be a thing of the past. Where then will they meet to rub off those corners and become civilized as we have so often had urged upon us? Already from Denmark, Washington County, comes a protest that they will serve only those on the north and south roads, putting up boxes at the corners for the others. Is that discrimina- tion? Congressman Stevens wrote a letter to The Stillwater Gazette in answer to one from the editor of that paper, and said each route was to be twenty-five miles long and to consist of one hundred houses, and four car- riers were to start out from Cottage Grove. Can those conditions be filled? I suppose everybody thinks they will. get their mail early in the horning. One mail—from the east—lays over at St. Paul Park till the next day on account of their leaving at nine a. m. instead of two p. m. as before. Now suppose you are in a hurry for a letter from St. Paul to tell you the price of calves. If yon can't get to Cottage Grove just in time to intercept it and happen to live i n the last end of the route, you must wait all day for that letter and perhaps lose your trade. w.

Llgtktning Sods. There was a time when every house had a lightning rod. It was believed that every good man thus protected his wife and children and his home. It is now known there is nothing,in the lightning rod theory; a lightning rod is no protection against lightning, and there was never any danger 'from lightning, anyhow. But a lot of other fool theories are .Wi. accepted. If we have at iaat.ac- gWred a little sense in the lightning rod particular, why not in other re- spects?

Base Ball. The Hastings -Athletics game at St. Paul on Sunday was the rankest of the season, owing to the unfairness of the umpire, a member of the latter club. After several scandalous de- cisions our boys sized up the situation and went through the form of play- ing nine innings merely to save their expense money. Most of the gate receipts came from this city, as the unfavorable reputation of the Athlet- ics will not draw a crowd at home. The score according to the umpire's rulings was eleven to one. The Hastings Base Ball Club offers to put up $150 against $100 with the Athletics of St. Paul, and have O'Regan again as umpire, provided the game is played upon our own grounds. This challenge holds good for any time. +' Fasbender dr Son, Hastings, Minn. Nee Perces Lands. Only one hundred miles southeast of the fertile grain fields of Eastern Wash- ington, between the Clearwater and Sal- mon rivers, lies what was long known as the Nez Perces Indian country, only recently thrown open to settlement and mining. Since the early sixties, when $38,000,000 was washed out of the rich placers of the Clearwater and Salmon rivers. it has been a tradition among miners that some day great gold discover- ies would be made in the Nez Perces country. The enormous coat of transpor- tation, remoteness from civilization, and consequent impossibility of carrying on large mining operations left the rich quartz ledges—the mother lodes of the placers—untouched. Almost simultane- ously with the completion of the North- ern Pacific's Lewiston extension from Spokane came the announcement of the discovery in the Buffalo Hump range of immense ledges of gold bearing quartz which, cropping out above the surface, and twenty feet or more in width, extend in different directions for many miles. The rapid extension of the Clearwater Line of the Northern Pacific, now build- ing along that river from Lewiston, will scon throw this heretofore almost inac- cessible country open to capital, and modern machinery with American grit will do the rest.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional dis- ease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys- tem, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by bulfling up the constitution and assisting na- ture in doing its work.

R. ROSE. *o*o*o*O*o*o*o*o•x-o*o*oxo*o* Abel Mitchell called to his type- writer. "You may go, Miss Morris," he said. He did not look up from the papers be- fore him. Tice young woman turned to the clock with a little start of surprise. It was only 4:80. But she quietly put on her hat and with a murmured good night left the room. Abel listened to the departing rustle of her skirts with a thoughtful expres- sion. There was a sensible girl, a girl who never grated on his feelings, a girl who asked no useless questions. She had reached an age of discretion. If Jim was determined to marry a poor girl, why couldn't he have taken one like Emma Morris? Abel opened a heavy envelope and drew forth a folded paper. "Jim never was confidential with me," he grumbled. "Perhaps I didn't invite his confidence. I don't know. Now he has disobeyed my direct com- mand. That can't be overlooked. When he told me about this girl, I said wait. 'How long?' he asked. 'Un- til you reach years of discretion!' I cried . and turned away. Jim is 24. Twenty-four. And I mtlfrried at 21. Yes, and ran away top. - But It was different with me. My father had nothing to give me. I was quite inde- pendent. He was glad to have me shift for myself. Jim's father is a rich man. Jim's father has given him dollars where my father begrudged Ine pennies. Jim owes me filial obedi- ence. He has disobeyed me to his bit- ter cost." He unfolded the paper that he had taken from the envelope and ran his keen gray eye down the closely written lines. 'He has given up his father for a pretty face," he murmured. "Let him stand by the consequences. Who is she? What is she? It matters not. No doubt they trapped him into this mar- riage. 'A rich man's son,' they chuc- kled. But they'll find they're fooled. 'Father,' he said, 'I am to be married tomorrow night. Will'you come with me to the wedding? I turned on my heel,. Then I looked back. 'You know the price you may pay? I cried. 'Yes, father,' he said, with his head high up. 'I know, Goodby, and God bless you.' He asked a blessing on me! Ha, ha, ha; that's too rich! But he'll get evil for good this time. I'll cut him off with a dollar. Let him sup on herbs for awhile. That'll take the veneer from love's young dream. I'll draw up a new will at home tonight and have it witnessed before I sleep. And to let him know what his foolish fancy has cost him I'll write him a letter -a letter he can show to hijt new relatives. That's the thing -the letter." He bent down with his head upon his band and his eyes upon the paper. A rustle of skirts in the doorway drew his attention. He did not look up. It was a way he had. "Ah, Miss Morris," he said, "back again?" He had quite forgotten that he had sent her home. notThe answer. young H irl in the doorway did er bright eyes were fix- ed upon the old man. She expected him to look up. If he had done so, he would have seen a charming vision. She was a very pretty girl -dainty and neat from the tip of her new hat to the tips of her new shoes. But he did not look up. "Just in time," be added. "1 want to dictate a letter before you go." He paused, and the young girl, as if seized with a sudden fancy, quietly stepped into the room and seated her- self at the typewriter. "You have been with us so long, Miss Morris," the old man continued, "that we view you as a confidential agent. Besides, this will be publlg property very soon. I am going to write to my son. Last night he married an un- known giri--agiffigi my wishes. 1 am going to tell him that I wash my hands of him and his; that tonight I Change my will, cutting him off with a solitary dollar. Are you ready?" The girl at the typewriter gave the instrument a preliminary click .or two. "James Mitchell," began the old man, "as you have seen fit to disobey me, to cast my fatherly wishes in my teeth, I desire you to know that I have no wish to hold further communication with you. While I cherish the im- pression that you were Lured into this unhappy marriage" - The typewriter stopped. "Unhappy marriage," the old man re- peated, and the clicking recommenced, "yet I cannot accept this as any excuse for your undutiful conduct. Tonight I change my will, and you may rest assured that your name will be passed over with the smallest possible finan- cial consideration. I prefer to have you understand this here and now. It will prevent you andjour new friends from cherishing any,'false hopes. This Oral` v� i no -reply will be e Tbemaohinwandyqungsair sheet from laid • g Is forward, it on the old m i•'s desk. Abel glanced it through. "A beautiful copy," be.sald and care- fully folded it, Then hal placed It In an envelope and dipped a pen In ink. "I do not know his address," he said, and knit his brows. The girl at the end of the desk ex- tended her hand. "If you have no objection," she quietly said, "I win deliver it to him in Person." The old man looked up at the fair face bending over him. "Why, who are you?" he cried. "I am Alice Mitchell," said the young girl. "Mitchell!" repeated Abel dully„ "M -my son's wife! And what"- But the ugly words would not come. He could not utter them in the light of those gentle eyes. "Will you be seat- ed?' he lamely added. "Thank you, no," said the girl. "I have but a few words to say; they will not detain you long." Abel's gaze dropped to the letter and the will, and a sarcastic smile twisted his mouth. "No, no," the girl quickly added. "I have not come to plead with you. You are quite wrong to imagine such a thing. And yo i were quite wrong, too, to insult me ata you did in that letter." He looked up again quickly. There were tears in the gentle eyes. And there was ag lint of fire in them too. "You insulted me and you insulted my dear father. I have no mother." She paused a moment. "When you insinu- ated that my father was mercenary in this matter, you did him a cruel wrong. He was bitterly opposed to our marry- ing without your consent. I disobeyed my father too. But it was not for your money. This letter will bring us no surprise." - The old man dropped his eyes be- neath her reproachful gaze. "Perhaps I was hasty," he slowly said, "but the provocation was great." Then be quickly added, "But knowing as you did that I opposed the wedding, and your father opposed it, too, why did you permit yourself to marry my boy?" "L could make it clear to you, I think," said the girl gently, "if you loved your boy." The old man trembled. If he loved his boy! All that was near and dear to him -all that was left to him of kith and kin. The babe that a dying wife had solemnly placed in his pater- nal arms. If he loved his boyl He drew a long breath and stared hard at the blank envelope on the desk before him. "And now," said the young girl, "I only want to add that I think Jim was quite wrong in crossing your wishes. He might have waited. I wanted him to wait. But be is so proud, so self willed. I am very sorry that I should be the means of separating you, and I -I am quite sure I am not worth the great sacrifice my dear -my husband - has made." Abel was quite sure there were tears in her eyes again, but he did not look up. "Where is Jim now?" he asked. Then he smiled grimly. "And why are you not enjoying your -your wedding tour?" "There was a vacancy in the bank where my father is employed," said the girl, "and father secured It for Jim. His duties began today. Perhaps we will take our wedding journey later. We have to look out carefully for the main chance now, you know." "And you didn't expect to fall back on my dollars?" said the old man. "Not a penny of them," quickly, re- plied the girl. The old man fidgeted in his chair. "And why not?" he asked. "I think you understand," said the girl,- and her gaze dropped to the let- ter on the desk. "Does Jim know you are here?' "No. At least he didn't know I was coming. Father will tell him to meet me at the corner at 5 o'clock. I must go., "Wait." said the old man quickly. He looked at her searchingly. She met his gaze with a smile. Her mind was on Jim. Abel deliberately put the will back In its envelope and the envelope in its pigeonhole. Then he picked up the letter in its unaddressed envelope, tore it into minute particles and tossed them into the waste basket. "I've changed my mind," he softly muttered. He pulled down his desk cover with a bang and reached for his bat. "There," he said, "I'm ready." Then he added, "Will you give me your arm, my dear?' Aa they passed through the doorway he paused. "I think, Alice," he' said, "Mat you and I are going to be very good friends. And now we must hunt up Jim and take him home with us." -Cleveland Plain Dealer. Moir Lllgattat Leas.

It, is not the whole truth to say that this is merely another case of British land grabbing. Neither is it entirely fair to charge the blame wholly to Boer stubbornness. - There are two sides to this, as to every other ques- PRESIDENT KRUGER. (From his most recent photograph.] tion. Before you give your symp4thy • to either contestant there are a few •!acid which ought to be considered. Here they are: The Boers were the original settlers of the country now known as the Transvaal republic if we leave out of rrom tue savages. For allractical purposes only native Boers have full rights of franchise. They make the laws, levy the taxes and grip with jealous hands the _reins of government. Toward the uitlanders the Boer at- titude has been aggressive, autocratic and possibly oppressive. It depends on the point of. view. The British min- ers have had to pay handsomely for the privilege of taking out the treas- ures which the Boers themselves neg- lected. They have been heavily taxed. .They have been bled by government monopolies. True, they have prospered and grown enormously rich in spite of it all. But so have the Boers, and it is the Eng- lish who' have done the work. Year after year the taxes have become high- er in spite of the indignant protests sent to England. In the meantime the political rela- tions of the two countries, the little re- public and the great empire, have swung through several interesting stages. The first time the Boers and the Eng- lish clashed was when both were set- tled in what is now Cape Colony. There came up the question of slavery. The Boers claimed a right to enslave the native tribes. The British contest- ed the alleged right. In 1834 emanci- pation was proclaimed in the Colony, which till then had been peopled by British and Dutch alike. What added to the grievance of the Boer was that the slaveowners among them received as compensation ordei_s on London which they were compelled to cash on the spot at ruinous rates. The great exodus. or trek, .of 1836 v.+as the result. Some 6,000 Boers by a concerted movement abandoned Cape Colony and moved on to the unknown interior. The bitter memory of their sufferings from hunger and thirst and from the attacks of savage natives re- mains as a legacy .01' hatred among their descendants to this day. At the Orange river the trekkers di- rided into two parties, one of which !founded the Orange Free State. The other, continuing farther eastward, rounded Natal. Both states were con - AMBO LAND A/YG Wq DAMARA LAND 0 CREAT \\ (IA('IAQUA ' LAPID BRITISH BECHUANA LAND T►+AFR R P• : 1RBAN T NATAL GOLD BEAPJfi REEFS G , CAPE EUZ BETH MAP SHOWING SITUATION OF TRANS.VAAL. question the savage African tribes whom they subdued. Their ancestors went to South Africa from Holland. Boer is Dutch for farmer. That is what the word means, and that is what they are. The first Boers settled in Cape Colo- ny. Trouble with the English led them to move farther inland and farther north. They would build their kraals in one place and stay there un- til the encroachments of the English made It necessary for them to fight or trek. Sometimes they fought; some- times they trekked. When they finally moved beyond the Vaal river, they thought they were safe from the English. The country was a savage infested wilderness. But somebody discovered gold and dia- monds in the Boer territory. Then the English moved in and began to work the mines. The Boer§ are not miners. The golden rocks of the Rand would remain uncrushed forever if they had their way. They wish only to till their farms, raise their stock and read their Bibles. But the glitter of gold and the glint of diamonds attracted more and more sons of Britain. Men of other coun- tries came too. There were some Ger- mans and a few Americans. The Boers call them all uitlanders, or outlanders. It is an expressive name. Finally the uitlanders became more numerous than the Boers. There are now in the Transvaal about 245,000 whites. Of this number more than 100,000 are English. Besides these, there are 30,000 Germans, 10,000 ' ,mer - [cans and a few hundreds of almost every other race on the globe. So the Boers are actually in a minority in their own land. The remainder of their 1,000,000 population is composed of blacks, chiefly Kaffirs. But this little handful of, say, 90,- 000 Boers has retained absolute sway in the territory which was wrested querea oy the t:ngusu. A majority of the Boers, once more fleeing from Brit- ish thraldom, crossed the river Vaal and intrenched themselves in their present position in the Transvaal Here four rival sovereignties were Iestablished whose internecine feuds SIR FORESTIER WALKER. [Who commands British forces in South Africa.] were finally harmonized by a union in- to one republic. In 1848 the gronwet, or fundamental law, was passed by a special volksraad elected for the pur- pose, and it still remains as the nomi- nal constitution of the country. But the Boers found themselves un - table to cope with the savage natives, who harassed them on every side and threatened the security not only of the Boers themselves, but of their British neighbors. Yielding partly to a desire for self protection, partly to a show of British force, the Boers consented to annexation with the British empire in spite of the protest of Oom Paul Kru- ger and other sturdy minded young patriots. So for awhile the Boers and British fought the blacks side by side, but the Boers trettea unser use nriusn yore, and under the plea that Britain had not performed her promises they rose in, rebellion in 1880 and, after the bloody victory of Majuba Hill, succeeded in again establishing their independence "subject to the suzerainty of her maj- esty." The treaty which contained these words was signed at Pretoria in August, 1881. 1 In 1883 the Boers sent a deputation to London to secure the abolition of the suzerainty. Gladstone was in pow- er then, and under his leadership a new agreement was signed by which Eng- land gave up her rights of suzerainty except in .regard to treaties with for- eign powers and the Orange Free State. This was signed in London in 1884, and the documents are now known as the London conventions. The interpretation of this agreement was the subject of the discussion which line led up to the present state of affairs. • Mr. Chamberlain, not being so kind- ly disposed sr was Mr. Gladstone, de- clares that the alien laws of the Trans- vaal republic constitute a breach of the London conventions and that con- sequently said documents are annulled. Hence, he argues, the suierainty is still in force. Possibly there is a flaw in Mr. Cham- berlain's argument, but it is backed up by British guns. This sort of reason- ing has won before, but not against the Boers. Although in 1884 England definitely and specifically renounced all right to interfere in the internal government of the Transvaal, she now . makes a very distinct demand. She says the volksraad must pass a law which will make any . white man eligible to full rights of citizenship after a five years' residence without forswearing alle- giance to his native country. At present the only citizens entitled to vote for president of the Boer re- public are those who were residents of the Transvaal previous to 1876 or who carried arms for the government in any of the various -wars of inde- pendence. Of course this applies only to white males. Voters of these quali- fications are known as first class burghers, and, so far as numbers go, they are in a ridiculous minority. Should the request for a five year franchise be granted tie Boers would find themselves speedily legislated out of existence. Such a concession would hand over the control of the govern- ment to the uitlanders. Do you won- der they object? Still, there remain the grievances of the uitlanders. Some of them deserve to be classed as oittlaws, it is true, for blacklegs from the four quarters of the earth can be found in the streets of Johannesburg. Yet the majority are not of this description. The first hordes of immigrants were naturally enough_ composed in part of gamblers and adventurers, but these were soon succeeded by earnest, prac- tical workers, by men of brawn and brains. They worked the mineral wealth of the country; they spent their savings in opening out mines, in put- ting up the finest machinery, in costly experiments of every kind; t1 y col- lected the cleverest engineers and man- agers, assayers and chemists from all the mining centers of the world; they redeemed the land from desolation; they. built the -towns; they constructed the railroads; they established the com- GENERAL JOCBERT. [Commander In chief of the Boer forces.] merce; they fought in the wars against the savage native tribes, who, despite all the courage and fortitude of the Boers, must finally have triumphed over them if they had been left single handed. And they paid and have paid and are paying practically all the taxes. It is estimated that 95 per cent of all the magnificent revenues that flow yearly Into the coffers of the Boer government is contributed by uitlanders. The state which they found nearly bankrupt has now an accumulated surplus of some $15,000,000. They are not mere birds of passage flitting througt the land, accumulating wealth and returning to spend it In their own country. The uitlander, so far as the laws allow him, has made his home in the Transvaal. His chil- dren have been born there. The mag- nificent climate and the wealth of the soil, neglected by the Boer, give every guarantee of the permanent settlement of generations. It is exactly that permahent settle- ment which the Boer sta. esman dreads. Nor does he dread it wi'hout reason. The denial of the suffrage Is not the only grievance of the uitlander. He complains of unjust and oppressive taxation, of the misuse of the proceeds in corruption of the civil service. The Boer has little reason to complain of either abuse. The taxes by which the treasury is filled are not levied upon him. He consumes his own untaxed products. He has few wants which force him to contribute to the duties levied on imports. So long as it is not that 1d wasted money he carps lit- tle what becomes of it, Monopolies have been `imposed upon everything from mining machinery to mineral waters, and after enriching their own coffers to the bursting point the shrewd minded Boers have ex- pended a goodly fraction of the re- maining revenue to arm and equip their countrymen with the most mod- ern munitions of war in anticipation of coming unrest. According to the malcontents, it has become a habit with the hoer t� hold one hand on the throat of the uitlander and the other on his family Bible. Then the uitlairders have no voice in educational matters. Their children are taught only the crude.,,•koer patois in the public schools. T y are de• nied the freedom of the press and, in certain ways, even freedom of speech, for it is criminal to hold public meet- ings. They have no power in the mu- nicipal government of Johannesburg, and when they appear for trial they to so before juries of Dutch burghers. The president has the right to expel any member of the community from the republic without trial. In fact, everything possible has been done to eliminate the Anglo-Saxon yeast that has been leavening the Dutch lump of that distraught repub- lic. The government's method of protect- ing the Netherlands railroad forms an- other grievance. The charges 'for car- rying passengers and freight are right- ly complained of as exorbitant. The average charge fur freight in the Unit- ed States is half a cent per mile. In England it is three-fourths of a cent. These figures throw a lurid light upon the potential earnings of n railroad whiclil like the Netherlands, charges from 6 to 24 cents per mile. Although there are many minor ones, these are the main grievances of the uitlanders, and it is because of these that England demands the right to in- terfere in the internal affairs of the government, the ;London conventions notwithstanding." Whether the Beers are able to de- fend their country or not is a disputed question. On the face it would seem absurd that a nation which shows a fighting force of only 26,000 could suc- cessfully resist the great armies which" England could send against it. But those figures do not truthfully repre• sent the number of ablenodied Boers who can beSr ernes. ' The real army 14, the nation in arms. It is impossible,'.o give exact figures concerning its s- gtii. A German army officer wif ntly Made a re- port on the Boer fighting strength says he asked men and boys of all ages in all stations of iifr in all n:irt of the Transvaal whether tl•ey .would go to war, if it came to war. without ever receiving a negative or even a doubt- ful answer. Even the oldest men he met thought they would he good for something as ioiig as tney naa fingers to pop a gun with and eyes to see a redcoat. The kaiser's informant thinks the citizen army comprises at least 20,000 men between the ages of 25 and 35 years. Though the majority of uit- landers are exempted from military duty, the younger men will readily help their neighbors, he thinks. Of the 60,000 blacks able to shoulder arms, 80,000 may be relied upon to fight with a will. The nation in arms really means an. army of mounted infantry, for every citizen soldier reports. for duty ori horseback, and there are no better rid- ers or sharpshooters in the world. The German observer says it seems to be impossible to tire out a Boer or his mount. "As to getting away from his bullets, the English have tried it once. Their losses in the war of 1880 and 1881 were 1,159 dead and wounded against 113 Boers, who received scratches." This subject of the remarkable fight- ing qualities of the Boer is a fascinat- ing one which has been often dealt with. In fact, ��� there has been' C;. so much exalt- ,• .q) geration that ft"" .;4:yi is hard to say what is the truth and whatp '=' is mere ro- mancing. But even the Eng- lish admit that a Boer with a rifle is a dan- gerous custom- er, even at a distance of 1,000 yards, and Tommy At- kins must be much nearer/ than that to do effective work. The best de- fense against an invading ar- my, however, is found in the character of the Transvaal bor- der. Shut in on all sides by mountain ranges, the Boer could not be safer if he bad a Chinese wall all around his republic. Each entrance to the Trans- vaal, except from the north, is through a mountain pass, and the Boers hold these passes. • On the other hand, the Boers are • practically surrounded by British ter- ritory. Beyond the mountains wait the redcoats. Germany is far away. The only friends upon whom the Boers can count irre their brothers in the Orange Free State, just across the Vaal. But to the southeast, to the west and to the north extends British Africa. The Boers' only path to the sea is blocked by Portuguese East Africa, and the Portuguese are under British influence. k t `STCfrilCAL Bl per Year in Advance. 52 per Year it not iu Advance. Couldn't Keep Him Ont. "The brightest reporter I ever knew," said a newspaper man, "was Billy Gaylor, who died at Hut Springs in 1895. He was a most persistent fel- low aft n item, and that reminds me of a ' tle s abont the last incident of his career. He had been assigned by l; certain Chicago daily to interview an eminent bishop abont a schism in the church. The bishop didn't want to talk and wouldn't see him, but Gaylor bribed a servant to let him into the hall and waylaid the dignitary as he was coming through. He was ordered out for his pains, but next day he pene- trated the house again on some pretext pr other and was again fired. "He repeated the exploit three or four times with similar results, and at last the bishop coming home late at night, found Billy sitting in his study reading the Bible. Nobody could ex- plain how he got in, but the prelate wilted and told him what he wanted to know dui condition that he would go away and stay away. "Shortly after poor Gaylor got gal- loping consumption and died, and, hap- pening to meet the bishop at a church conference, I told him that the young man who had once so molested him would never do it again. " 'Let ns hope that he is in heaven,' said a clergyman.standing by. "The bishop's lyes twinkled. He loved a joke. 'No doubt he is,' he re- plied gently. 'I don't think they could keep him out.' "—Exchange. Occupations Affect Faces. "A man's occupation or condition has more to do with making his face than most people think," observed a gentleman who is somewhat a judge of character. "Intellectual pursuits, like the studies of the scholarly profession, when coupled with temperate and good moral habits of life brighten the face and give the person a refined and su- perior look. Magnanimity of nature or the love of study and art will make a bright, glad face, but contrary to this a man may have a face that does not please anybody because of a love of self to the exclusion of others notwith- standing his learning aired worldly shrewdness. Soldiers get a hard, severe look; reporters look inquisitive; mathe- maticians look studious; jndges look grave, even when off the bench ; the man who has had domestic trouble looks all broken up. "An example of the ludicrous side of this subject is to see a third class law- yer stalking around a police court look- ing as wise as an owl. The business makes the face, I say. Thero'c the mer- chant's face, the ministerial face, the lawyer's face, the doctor's face, the hoodlnm's face, all so distinct each from the other and singly that I seldom fail to recognize those callings shining through the faces. And what city bred boy -cannot recognize a genuine farmer the moment he sees him on the street?" —Washington Star. How to Kill Them. Although every housekeeper may not be a member of a band of mercy or hu- mane society, she can help on the good work if she will practice some of the society's rules. For example, let her bear in mind that crabs to be properly killed should before boiling be thrust through the mouth and body with a sharp steel at one blow. When a lobster is required, insert a narrow bladed knife into the third joint of the tail, severing the spinal cord. This will cause instant death and is much less cruel than to put it into the water alive, especially if it is not boil- ing, as the lobster then suffers a slow, lingering death. Terrapin also shonla be mercifully killed before being cooked. The eel tribe is said to be a terrible sufferer from man's inhumanity to fish. So difficult is it apparently to kill eels that people have even ceased to try to kill them at all. If their j,,,eads were cut off before they were otherwise handled, they would at once be out of misery.— Buffalo Express. Heat of the Ilarth. It is well known that a great deal of effort has been put forth in all parts of the world where mining is carried on to a great depth, to determine as a sat- isfactory average the increase of the earth's temperature with depth. A few years ago it was commonly assumed to be 1 degree for each 90 feet in depth, but more recently deeper workings un- der other conditions have led to the be- lief that it is something over 200 feet for each degree of increased tempera- ture. It is admitted, however, that the depth to which mining has thus far been carried is so shallow as compared with the great distance to the center of the earth that it is really not known what the average increase of tempera- ture with depth is. Observations made at the various places have been where the surrounding conditions were so dif- ferent that the tests were not satisfac- tory, as, for example, those made in the Lake Superior and Nevada regions. A Valuable Truckload. Perhaps as costly a commodity as any that is carried in considerable quantities In truckloads is Sumatra to- bacco, such as is used for cigar wrap- pers. Sumatra wrappers cost from $1 to $2 a pound, and the import duty ea -them is $1.85 a pound. This tobacco is imported in small, compact bales weighing 170 or 180 pounds each. Duty paid Sumatra would be worth about $600 a bale, and there can be carried on a truck fifty bales or more; so that a 50 bale truckload of such tobacco would be worth about $30,000.—New York Sun. Astronomers tell us that in our solar system there are at least 17,000,000 comets of all sizes. The Origin of Massage. China claims to have originated mas- sage treatment. According to long time Chinese ideas, life is entirely dependent on "air currents," which are designat- ed as the primary aura of the organism. So long, then, as the body is permeated by the air current it is proof against disease, and the object of physical ex- ercise is to circulate the air current. To effect this the Chinese system is di- vided into three periods, each period occupying a hundred days, the first period commencing at the time of the sew moon. The patient must rise at 4 o'clock in the morning and walk outside his honse, taking seven deep inspirations, and im- mediately after this two youths who have been specially trained commence a gentle friction all ever the body, starting over the cardiac area. At the time of full moon a further set of in- spiratory exercises are taken. Later on, in the second period, the various parts of the body are robbed with wooden planks until the muscles are hardened, and it is not until the hardening takes place that the real physical exercises are taken. Between the fifth and sixth month is the period of greatest activity, the European dumbbell being 'replaced by large sacks filled with stones. It is in thesthird period that the back mus- cles are chiefly exercised.—Chicago Chronicle. - ti The Development of the Skin. By almost constant overcovering day and night for successive generations the skin has by degeneration adapted itself to its reduced requirements. From birth to senile death we are much overcov- ered. That a full and vigorously de- veloped skin is a desideratum will be generally conceded. The tendency is for ours to degenerate to a tissue paper consistency. The exquisite structure of the skin at once indicates its ildpor-. tante as one of the organs of the body. A homely showing of that functional power which can be developed in the skin is indicated by the story of the In- dian. Being almost naked and yet ap- parently quite comfortable in inclement weather he was asked why he did not seem to suffer and be made ill by the exposure, he replied: "White man's face no pain no sick. Indian all face." By this excessive covering our periph- eral nerves are too intensely impressed by caloric changes, our capillary blood system too feebly and incompletely de- veloped to battle most successfully with heat, disease and traumatic impressions. Its muscular fat and connective tissue substance are all too deficient and de- fective for our greatest comfort and welfare. All its functional powers have been reduced. Yet seldom is heard a cry to develop the skin:—Philadelphia Medical Journal. Outwitted the Lunatic. • While residing at Rome I paid a visit to the lunatic asylum there, and among the more remarkable patients one was pointed out to me who had been saved with much difficulty from inflicting death upon himself by voluntary star- vation in bed, under the impression that he was defunct, declaring that dead people never eat. It was soon obvious to all that the issue must be fatal, when the humane doctor bethonght of the following stratagem : Half a dozen of the attendants, dressed in white shrouds and their faces and hands covered with chalk, were marched in single file with dead silence into a room adjoining that of the patient, where he observed them through a door purposely left open sit down to a hearty meal. "Hello!" said the would be corpse to an attendant. "Who be they ?" "Dead men," was the reply. "What," rejoined the defunct, "do dead men eat ?" "To be sure they do, as you see," answered the attendant. "If that's the case," exclaimed the dead man, "I'll join them, for I'm famished. "—Lancet. Kate Field's Love Letter. If that charming woman, the late Kate Field, did not marry, it was as- suredly not because she did not have many an admirer. A Washington lady has in her ppeaossion a little old bit of yellow papal upon which is penciled a boyish scrawl. It was preserved by Miss Field from her little girl days. The scrawl rens thus: "wont yue mete me down bye The Gate aftter school Yue nowe i Luv yne." On the other side of the bit of paper is the address, thus: "Miss Kate Field, Esq., last Seat nex to the Door goin out." • It must have been like a breath•of the forgotten perfume of yesteryears when the clever, 'kindly woman hap- pened upon this little old piece of yel- lowed paper on a rainy afternoon of rummaging. Trapped by Its Portrait. • If an old English writer be true in hie observations, the pheasant most be a very simple bird, for he declares that it pots its head in the ground and thinks that all its body is then hidden. This is just what our old friend the os- trich does in the African desert. The same author says that it was also cap- tured by another curious plan. A pic- ture of the bird was painted on cloth and then placed in a spot where it was sere of being seen. By and by a silly pheasant coming along catches sight of the portrait and goes up to have a close view of the new neighbor. While en- gaged in inspecting the canvas the fowler draws near from behind and throws his net over the unwary art student. Mostly Ezouee. "What tremendously tall men yom policemen are!

Atter the Lucky Baldwin theater and hotel fire in San Francisco there were nine feet of water in the basement, where the instruments of the orchestra were stored. When a little of it had been pumped out, August Hinrichs, leader of the orchestra, hired a man to swim in and get out his famous Amati violin. It was wrecked—water soaked, warped, twisted and broken up into 68 pieces. The hot water had soaked out nil the old glue, and every piece had fallen away from its neighbor, besides a good many patches of wood, put in when repairs had been done. To all ap- pearance the thing was smashed beyond recall. Nevertheless Herman Muller, a local violin repairer, who knew and loved the old fiddle, took it in hand. Twice he carefully joined the time darkened pieces of wood. Twice he decided that the Amati would not do. So once more be soaked the 78 bits of wood apart. Then he carefully modeled out of clay an arch such as he remem- bered that of the old Amati to have had and for nine weeks kept the bits of wood bound to it until they had gained the proper shape. Once more he put the bits of wood together. Then for five weeks more he patiently varnished and polished the more than 200 -year-old fiddle until it shone. Then Hinrichs once more drew his bow across the vibrating strings and the violin spoke. It sang, wept, bubbled with life and joy. The Amati had found its souL—San Francisco Examiner. The Macaw and the Portrait. While Northcote was studying paint- ing with Sir Joshua Reynolds he paint- ed the portrait of one of the housemaids and placed the picture on the parlor floor, resting against a chair for the family to see it. Sir Joshua had a large macaw, which he often introduced into his pictures. Between the bird and the housemaid there was no little hostility, atsshe had to clean up after him and re- sented his roaming habits. When the picture was placed against the chair, the macaw, being in a dis- tant part of the room, did not see it, but on retracing its steps the bird saw the portrait of its enemy and, with out gtretched wings, furiously rushed at the fated face and even tried to bite it. Discovering that the face did not move. the macaw attacked the hand in the picture. As it moved not, the bird, marched round the picture, as if exam- ining what the thing was, and then walked away. Again and again the macaw repeated the advance, the at- tack and the retreat. The singular story was noised abroad, and Edmund Burke, Dr. Johnson and Goldsmith visited Sir Joshna's parlor to see the exhibition. What made it the more remarkable was that when the macaw was tried with any other por- trait it took no notice of the picture.— Youth's Companion. Relic Pilfering Ministers. The superintendent of public build- ings and grounds, who has charge of the Washington monument, says one of the greatest troubles the watchmen at the monument have to contend with is the chipping of these memorial stones by relic hunters. "One of the strangest things in re- gard to these relic hunters," said the superintendent, "is the fact that more than one-half of the men arrested for chipping off relics are clergymen. When the police arrest these despoilers and start with them to the station hoose, the roan will begin to ask what is the penalty and try to beg off. He is told that the fine is a heavy one, but that $15 security can be put up for appear- ance in the police court. Then the pris- oner explains that he is a minister of the gospel and meant no harm, and that he could not stand the disgrace of appearing in a police court. He ends up by giving up the collateral after gener- ally trying to cut it down to $10, say- ing he has only that amount with him. "—New York Mail and Express. Washington's Sea Voyage. As the companion of his invalid elder brother, Lawrence, then in a rapid con- sumption, George Washington sailed from Virginia on the 28th of September, 1751, arrived at Barbados on or about the 3d of November and sailed thence on his return to Virginia on board the Industry on the 22d of December. His passage each way was a rough one and prolonged to Ewe weeks. The methodical young Virginian kept a diary during his trip, extracts from which were pub- lished by Jared Sparks in his "Writings of George Washington." This was the only time George Washington ever went outside the territory that became the United States.

To the Editor of The Gazette: Accepting your invitation in last week's Gazette to write conoerniug the workings of rural delivery mail of Farmington and vicinity, I can un- hesitatingly say it is a success and a blessing. Commencing three years ago as an experiment of the govern- ment, the volume of mail carried has increased more than two times, nearly every family taking a daily paper, thus keeping in touch with the events of the times and the markets of the world. The territory is cover- ed by four routes, each about twenty- five miles, and reaching points nine miles from town. The carriers start out immediately after morning mail is in, collecting letters in mail boxes, and returning in time to mail them on afternoon trains. During the three rears service, only twice have they failed to snake their trips, these owing to storms, They are uuderpaid for the amount of work done, viz. $400 a year, but plenty of good men who can put up the required bond, stand ready to take their places. Some ob- jections to the system were raised, wheel .first introduced, the same as are being used whenever a new route is started, but they carne largely from petty post -masters, with $30 or $40 per year salary, likely to lose their jobs, or from short sighted people who imagined the service would keep farineis from coming to town as often to trade, little thinking that one live, intelligent farmer will spend twice as much in a year as his dull, doubting neighbor. The neat uniform mail boxes, the increasing disposition to keep things cleaned up about the place, the neatly kept lawns, speak volumes in favor of the system. The rural delis'ery mail is in keep- ing with the intelligence of the age and the government cannot recede from it. The rural delivery is an experiment no more, it bas come to stay.

"Making bricks without straw all the year round. I wish—there, I wish to God I'd never learued bow to write!" And yet it had paid him in solid coin, so far. One of his minor dreams was realized; the window of his writing room overlooked a suburban roadway along which Jarring wheels seldom rattled; he had got away from the whir and (crone of the town, where his nerves had been at a tension all day long. He could compose in peace. And yet he sat with the bitter, idle stare, clutching a dry pen. The door behind creaked; a woman glided in on tiptoe. "Don't start—it's onlg- 1," she whispered. "Don't start!" Ile threw down the pen without turning. "It's all starts— or the strain of expecting them. I'm sick of it, I tell you—sick of it all." "What is the matter?" She had paus- ed half way, with hands together. "Can't you write?" "Write! I've nothing to write. I'm drained dry. And I promised a tragic story"—with a half sneer—"for that Society Sun. Tragic! What's the time?" "It must be nearly 6." "Six? Dark in another hour—dusk now! I've done nothing. And you—you never attempt to help ate, by so much as a word!" "Never help you?" she echoed; and repeated it to herself. "I never help him! But when have you asked such a thing? What good would be my ideas?" "Oh, not much. - Women seldom have real ideas. They're flitting superficiali- ties. Still"— A long silent The door creaked again, but he kne he had only closed it and was still hovering behind hien. He was somewhat surprised, but would not turn, vaguely conscious of the sneer's hollowness. Then— "I never help you," she repeated calmly. 1likeme to try? "Wouldyou S y Perhaps something has just come into my mind. It is silly, maybe, as I tell it; but you, my husband, might make it clever and interesting. You say your stories are always twaddle as you first set them down." "Do I? Well, what is it?" he said, staring across at the opposite roofs. "This situation is novel. Go on. Never niind as long as there is anything at all in it." "There is—there is a woman's heart in 1t, I think," she whispered. "Is that any good?" "Oh!" he said. Her voice had tailed off as if she had a real idea, but was afraid of the sneer. "Well, there usual- ly is; that's one of the component parts of the average story. Even humor is the brighter for tragedy lurking in the background, you know. Anything in the heart? That's the point. Yes; anything in this heart?" Another silence. "Couldn't I tell you just as it came to me, then?" she said. "I'm not clever enough to know. It's more of a sketch, perhaps. I—I imagin- ed two lovers, very dear lovers. They got married, and the,,. was a beautiful world before them, with such peace at the end, if they knew! Make the man an artist. He lived for his art. The girl—the girl was only just a girl; she lived for the man. She hung on his every word, you might say; she prayed for his success when he was never there to hear, thought for him in ways that he would never know and checked her singing and moved softly so that he should never be disturbed at his work. You're not writing. Is it so silly?" "Go on," he whispered. "There— there's nothing to write yet." "That went on for years. The man, deeper and deeper in his work, never saw that his wife was changing, that the light had gone out of her eyes. He forgot all he had meant to be—for- got after a time even to kiss ber, and the girl—she could never bring herself to remind him—eh? She still lived only for him, but he never cared what she wore, never thought that her work might be hard in its little way, and that there are some women for whom years of such silence and loneliness spells death—or worse. She was al- ways crying at first and never dared to tell him why if he did not see for him- self and kept out of his way so that his mind should not be spoiled for work. And he—say that he thought it was something else and spoke harsh- ly and sneered and at last got so that he lived in a world of his own and wouldn't open his door when—when he knew that her heart was bursting out- side, longing for one kind word again. Or—or—something like that. Could you begin anything with that?" No answer. She could not see, but the man's outward stare was as if it would never again relax. She went on a little faster, ber voice taking a thrill—just as though his silence im- plied that there might be real dramatic possibilities in her small inspiration. "I think my husband could—yes! The world is used to seeing the man grow indifferent and the woman cold and pale; but you—you might take the trag- edy as It is within" the four walls and make it live and throb in there. You might put itthat at first the man's mistake was in always straining for- ward to his goal, forgetting that the happiest time is now—forgetting how, when he looks at last he will not find just the same laughing girl as he mar- ried- (ltten he left her. we will say; he wanted cheerful Laces and relaxa- tion after his work, and the wife was only like a ghost creeping about the house. And so at last, for her the only alternative to a broken heart was a heart hardened to stone. And, oh, she had so loved him—had so determined always to look her brightest and best for him! That might have gone on till the end, as it often does; but there came a glow—one blow more than she could bear. We'll suppose—we'll sup- pose that one day the wife, somehow or other, heard him talking to a friend. The friend was quiet; he had asked: 'What's the matter with—with her? All the romance gone that you used to talk about?' Make it—make it that she held her breath for ttie answer, even then -- even then; that even then she was hungering to put ber arms all around him, and tell him, oh, no, it was not gone! And supposing she heard him say: 'Her! Pooh, take no notice of her —always the same. Wish to God some- times I'd never married—what with the expenses and the miseries at home. Can't make ber out—not like other wo- men. Given it up long ago. Don't you ever marry, old man!' And supposing the wife stood and cried to God to take her on the spot, and that God did not answer, and that at last—at last, when something seemed as if it would snap in ber brain—she crept into her hus- band's study and took out the pistol that he kept in his desk and put it to her forehead, and—and almost pulled the trigger. Wouldn't a paper accept a story like that?" Still no answer. The man had cran- ed still farther forward, his hands grip- ping the desk, his face gray in the dusk, his stare widened. It looked --it somehow looked as if be feared for his life to look around, in fear of a hand waiting for his throat. It was not his wife talking. It was tragedy that had come creeping into the room, as it sometimes did when he wrote late, and something stood and breathed behind each shoulder. The voice came again, as from a long way off. "Yes! Say she paused the moment, and that saved her. She looked at his work and thought of his long struggles and the mind that always strained aft- er something in life that is never to be found. B'ut the thought had come into her head, and it staid and staid, and more than once, when he bad passed her with hardly a word or look—no, my God, she could not bear it! God forgive her, she cannot bear it!" The indescribable sob and a swift rush. A hand had plucked open the drawer at the man's side, and some- thing bright flashed out. Just in time he realized something and swayed up, with a hoarse cry: "Winnie! No, no!" and faced the picture that was to eat into his memory for all time. Thai dead silence, the stare with which the wide eyes in her worn, white face seemed to search his soul wildly for a flicker of the truth! Then her hand dropped, and her face began wit piteously. is arms were to twitch rocas H P y out—and the heart beat there yet. "Winnie,!" he had whispered—such a whisper. "Don't, don't! Come back to me! Come back to me!" And for those two Time put back the hands of his clock. But the story. That was not for publication.—London Star. A FIENDISH WEAPON. It Would Kill and Leave No Mark to Tell the Tale. "I have handled -a good many out- landish weapons," said a New Orleans curio dealer, "but here is a little in- strument that for pure diabolism beats anything I ever saw in my life. I bought it the other day from a Norwe- gian sailor, who tells me it was given to him by a Jap at Yokohama—a story that yon may take for what it is worth." As he spoke he opened a show case and took out what seemed to be an or- dinary Chinese marking brush of rather large size. The handle was some ten inches long and the diameter of a lead pencil By giving it a sharp twist it separated about a hand's breadth from the end, after the manner of a sword cane, and attached to the smaller piece was a slender glass rod with a needle point. The rod was not mach bigger than a knitting needle, and with the handle it had the effect of a very small and delicate stiletto. "I should think that trona& break if it were used to stab with," remarked a visitor after examining the contrivance. "Certainly it would." replied the dealer, "and that is where the fiendish- ness of the thing comes in. Look close- ly at the glass rod and you will see a tiny groove filed around it about two Inches from the Lilt. Suppose that it was driven into the body of a man, it would be certain to break at the groove and world leave at least three inches of glass buried in his vitals. The puncture would be so small that it would close when the stump was drawn out, and I doubt exceedingly whether a single drop of blood wonld follow. In other words, the victim could receive his deathblow without knowing exactly what had happened to him. He would feel a shock and a pang, but find no wound, and meanwhile the assassin would stick his brush together and go about his bnsinees.—New Orleans Times -Democrat. Cider and Bacteria. Cider is sometimes made with im- pure water, and there are makers who affirm that dirty water makes the belt cider; hence the Pasteur institute of France has been examining Normandy, ciders to see how far they are free from bacteria. It appears from their results that the malic acid in cyder tends to kill bacteria. Ordinary cider contains at least 2 per cent of mallc acid, and when the percentage does not fall below that the bacillus of ty- phoid fever dies in it after 18 or 20 hours. Good cider, then, may be drunk 24- hours after it Is made without any fear of catching typhoid. , Early Clocks. Many clocks with weights and wheels were in use in England during Chau- cer's time, and most of the monasteries of the fourteenth century posse clocks, though these were used to eh w the astronomical movements, as well as the passage of hours. Throughout the fifteenth century clocks were made mostly by armorers and blacksmiths, as they were constructed of iron and steel. 'POISONED WEAPONS. NOW SAVAGE NATIONS MAKE SURE OF DEALING DEATH. Some of the Venomous Mixtures Used by the Barbarians Retain Their Life Destroying Properties For an Indefinite Time. From the age of stone up to the time when the art of killing one's neighbor led to the discovery of powder and fire- arms primitive peoples, owing to the Insufficiency of their weapons to cause prompt death, have invented means of giving them poisonous qualities. Poi - boned weapons, whether they are ar- rows, knives, lances or what not, may get their fatal properties from either vegetable or animal poisons. The South American Indians use curare; the natives of India, Indo- Vhina, Borneo and the Moluccas em- ploy, or rather did employ, the upas to poison their weapons; the negroes of the Sudan and the Kongo still make use of a poison extracted from different varieties of strophanthus called m'bou- mon or ine, according to the regions Where it is employed; the people of South Africa, the Hottentots, the Bush- men, the Kaffirs and the Akkas, poison their arrows with the venom of divers serpents, the cobra de capello among others; certain tribes of equatorial Africa, the N'Dris and the Banjiris, use their arrows after long burial in decomposing corpses, to communicate blood poisoning, which results in speedy death; in Oceanica the natives of New Caledonia, the Hebrides and the Solomon group give their enemies lockjaw by soaking their arrows in marshes containing large quantities of the bacillus of tetanns. The first three kinds of poison are practically of vegetable origin, though the local medicine men mix with their preparations red ants, snakes' venom; toads' eyes, etc. They are the charac- teristic alkaloids of plants, which serve as the basis of a deadly poisonous mix- ture. Curare, upas and m'boulnon have as their principal elements plants whose species vary with the tribe, and which all belong to the strychnine fam- ily. The three last named poisons, ex- cept that of the South African negroes, are of microbial origin. What are the value, duration and activitj of these poisons? Curare keeps indefinitely. In 1757 in the course of experiments in physiology made in France with curarized arrows brought in 1752 from equatorial America by La Condamine, a fowl scratched with one of these arrows died in seven minutes. Among the Oniteto Indians, lumps of curare handed down from father to son have preserved all their poisonous ac- tivity, although covered with mold. The same may be said for the upas, which, kept in little sections of bamboo for seven or eight years, retains the same active qualities as when freshly prepared, Malay weapons, even those of steel, always t poisonous oisonous a keep properties. The black races that use ine claim that it will keep only a short time be- fore it spoils. Now, ine, which is an aqueous maceration of strophanthus seeds, to which is added the juice of a fig or of a enphorbi, and generally also vipers' venom, becomes covered with mold at the end of a few weeks, but notwithstanding it has preserved all its toxic properties. Guinea pigs have been ,killed in a few minutes by being scratched with arrows whose points had molded. In fact, the vegetable poisons used by primitive peoples for their arrows keep indefinitely and al- ways make effective weapons. This is not the case with poisons of animal or microbian origin. As we have seen above, the Bushmen, the Kaffirs and the Akkas poison the points of their arrows with serpent venom, especially that of the cobra. At the end of two or three weeks their arms have lost all harmful quality. This is due to a single cause. The venom of snakes, which is preserved indefinitely in alco- hol, becomes covered in air with a pe- culiar mold, which has not been studied hitherto and which removes all poison- ous effect from the venom. The poison need on the arrows of the N'Dris of the Upper Ubanghi is noth- ing else than the septic vibrio (microbe of blood poisoning), which dies in the air if it is not in the presence of de- composition. Thus those arrows are harmful only during a very short time. As for the arrows of the New Cale- donians, which infect their victim with tetanus, authorities do not agree about the duration of their harmful action, although it is proved that the bacillus of Nicolaier cannot live'except in a very moist medium and together with other bacilli, harmless or otherwise, such as the septic bacillus, which, as we have seen, dies in a short time. Thus in all cases the poisoned arrows of the races that make use of vegetable alkaloids are much more to be feared than those of the tribes that employ poisons of animal or microbian origin. A "Sure Thing" Bet. Those who are unsportsmanlike enough to bet on a sure thing might try this: A bets that B cannot endure a piece of ice on his arm for two min- utes, A to select a place between the fingers and the elbow. B bares his arm. and A puts a lump of ice on the pulse in the wrist. In 41 seconds usually the pain becomes so great that B gives it up. ,This catch originated on the Lon- don Stock Exchange. It is said that Gay Hickalls, the oarsman, is the only bne who ever endured the pain two Lminutes. A Denial. "So," exclaimed Senator Sorghum indignantly, "that man told you my vote was for sale?"

A most embarrassing experience was that of a certain West Philadelphia young woman who a few evenings ago attended a reception, in which a num- ber of well known clubwomen partici- pated. It so happened that among these were several who had found the matri- monial yoke an unwelcome one for various reasons and had obtained legal separation from their husbands. To one of these women, quite unwittingly, having jest been introdnced, the young woman, who is nothing if not vivacious and conversational, addressed the ques- tion: "By the way, Mrs. R., don't you think divorce is wrong?" The woman, reddening slightly, replied: "My dear, there are two sides to that question. Perhaps yon have not heard my story." The questioner, embarrassed beyond measure, stammered an excuse and walked away. To the first woman she met she confided her trouble, saying: "Oh, dear! I have just made a most unfortunate remark. Yon know Mrs. R. ? Well, I spoke to her about divorce, and she's divorced, you know." "So am I, my dear," was the smil- ing reply, and once again the young woman wished that the floor would open under her. She felt so bad that she went to one of the women in charge of the reception and. taking her aside, told her the whole story, asking her ad- vice as to what she should do. "Do nothing at all, Miss I,," was the reply. "I really don't think they have any horror of the subject so long as it's innocently called up. I know I haven't, attd I, too, am a divorcee." Whereat the conversational miss donned her hat, and, fearing to say an- other word, went home.—Exchange. A CHILD'S FANCY. Explanation of What Seem■ Preco- ciousness In Imaginative Children. "An active, healthy imagination is one of the happiest gifts a child can possess," is the theory advanced by Florence Hull Winterbnrn, the well known padiologist, in The Woman's Home Companion. "If we watch an intelligent child, four or five years old, who believes him- self unnoticed we will probably be as- tonished at the richness and fertility of the fancy which can give life and color to dull, commonplace things and weave whole stories and dramas around the simple toy that means nothing more to ns than what it plainly stands for. But we will perceive that even his wildest romances found themselves upon many facts, for free and frolicsome as imagi- nation may appear, it is subject to its laws. It deals with real things in a playful way. It embroiders, paints, molds, but it must have its material, its basis in actual life. "What we call creative ability is really nothinbut the power to recon- struct, perhaps to connect several sep- arate e -arate plans or patterns into a whole which seems different from the original The child is an artist who Subs on his colors boldly, without any sense of the absurdities he may commit, and so he often produces effects that surprise oth- ers as well as himself. Many of the acts that seem so precocious because we sup- pose them to be the outcome of a well considered plan are really happy acci- dents, not devoid cf the merit of orig- inality, but neither to be overpraised as work of genius. Childhood is one un- broken succession of experimentings." A Much Abused Word, The way certain words are misused and abused should appeal to one. It is a fact that if any word has tried to adapt itself to every possible and im- possible situation "grand" is the one that has made the attempt. A person needs but walk about any city to be confronted with Grand hotels and Grand View houses. Sometimes it fits the house which it adorns, sometimes it seems but a sardonic attempt to make them seem the more forlorn. It rises to the sublime and describes the moun- tains, it descends to the level of every- day life and appears as a descriptive term when the weather is mentioned. On the lips of the milliner it lures on to het doom the woman who without the support of a friend is selecting a hat, and the "doesn't she look grand in that?" causes her to depart with the hat in her possession. One hears about "grand" dinners and "grand" times, but the last straw is when the shop - woman says, "That coat fits you some- thing grand."—New York Sun. A Musical Snake. The Pittsburg Times is responsible for this tale of black snakes who loved music not wisely but too well. One of the ophidians became so proficient in musical knowledge that he crawled into a church with a number of companions, wiggled up on the organ bench, pushed up the lid with their aid, grasped with his tail the lever that started the water motor and proceeded to play the organ with his head, varying the performance by crawling ovar the keys. He scared the choir nearly into fits one Sunday by entering during service time. One Bad Turn Deserved Anotkes. "Your experience in vaudeville, then. was not very pleasant?" Hi Tragerdy was saying.

OCTOBER 7. 1899. Welcome Home. The return of the heroes of the Thirteenth Minnesota Regiment is cause for gladness and rejoicing. The people of Minnesota fully ap- preciate the noble sacrifices made by our patriotic soldiers, who have never faltered in the presence of death and have performed the duties as- signed them with signal bravery and fortitude. They were among the first to otter their services in defense of the interests of their country against the treacherous Filipinos, who opposed a policy of government which our mag- nificent specimens of manhood were bound by their unswerving loyalty to uphold for the banner honored and respected in all parts of -the civilized world. Whether the war with Spain and the Philippine Islands was for expansion or for social and commer- cial betterment, is not a criterion as to the loyalty and bravery of those who unhesitatingly responded to their country's call. In April of the pres- ent year, wheu the term of service of the Thirteenth Regiment had expired, the government was not vet prepared to supply the troops necessary be- cause of their retirement, but, without exception, the brave boys of the Thirteenth voluntarily remained for four months on active duty, enduring all the hardships and dangers incident to army life under most exacting con- ditions. A noble aur patriotic act, worthy to be recorded as a splendid illustration of the American soldier's devotion to his country; The shining summit of the Ameri- can soldier's ambition is to be in the front rank of the Army of Progress, !folding aloft to midday sun and the glittering_stars of night the glorious flag that proudly floats over a nation •covet•ed with wealth and glory and liberty -the emblem of a principle as broad as humanity -the same old banner that was carried and defended by our fathers through the revolu- tion, the war of 1812, the war with Mexico, and by our brothers through the blood-stained fields of the rebel- lion -the banner that dissipated the dark clouds of bondage and oppres- sion and gave hope and .aspiration to the people of a great nation, who read upon its glorious folds the jeweled words. Life, Liberty, and Aappin:: The man who volunteers to go forth as a warrior to the field of rat- tle, there to become a target for ur- derous shot and shell, to fulfill the sublime obligation of au American citizen is worthily denominated a hero, more exalted than king or potentate, and richly entitled to wear a crown of imperishable glory. As we -think of the return of the brave boys in blue, the memories of the past (1861-5) rise before us, when we proudly marched against the foes of human liberty, through the historic battle fields of Gettysburg, the Wil- derness, Spottsylvauia to Petersburg, under the leadership of Grant, Meade, Birney, Sherman, and others whose superb generalship guided the north- ern army to glorious victory, for which one grand anthem of praise resounded from ocean to ocean. No less gratitude is due the brave Minnesota boys now returning from fields of conflict in a land far away from home and friends. Many of their comrades sleep within a silent palace of rest, beneath the shade of the mango tree, where whispering winds chant a doleful requiem through the low drooping branches of cedar and pine, some rest beneath the silvery crest of ocean wave -their labors have ceased. The hearts that were the seat of loyalty, erewhile warmed by divine enthusiasm in the cause of human liberty, perish in their com- munion with the darkness of the tomb. As a pebble dropped in ocean - sends its wavelets to the distant shore, so the record of heroic deeds by a loyal people, dropped in the great ocean of humanity, will not pass from sight without leaving be- hind an influence that will elevate and ennoble human kind. For all we have one sentiment to express: "Cheers for the living and tears for the dead." J. B. LAMBERT. The Thirteenth Regiment was mus- tered out in San Francisco on Tues- day. The officers presented a hand- some silver cornet with gold mount- ings to A. W. Riches, principal mu- sician, who enlisted from this city. Council Proceedings. Adjourned meeting, Oct. 2d.

Only one hundred miles southeast of the fertile grain fields of Eastern Wash- ington, between the Clearwater and Sal- mon rivers, lies what was long known as the Nez Perces Indian country, only recently thrown open to settlement and mining. Since the early sixties, when $38,000,000 was washed out of the rich placers of the Clearwater and Salmon rivers, it has been a tradition among miners that some day great gold discover- ies would be made in the Nez Perces country. The enormous cost of transpor- tation, remoteness from civilization, and consequent impossibility- of carrying on large mining operations left the rich quartz ledges -the mother lodes of the placers -untouched. Almost simultane- ously with the completion of the North- ern Pacific's Lewiston extension from Spokane came the announcement of the discovery in the Butl'.alif Hump range of immense ledges of gold bearing quartz which, cropping out above the surface, and twenty feet or more in width, extend in different directions for many miles. The rapid extension of the Clearwater Line of the Northern Pacific, now build- ing along that river from Lewiston, will soon throw this heretofore almost inac- cessible country open to capital, and modern machinery with American grit will do the rest. For fuller information and a new map of this region send a two cent stamp to Chas. S. Fee, St. Paul, Minn., or address any general or district passenger agent of the Northern Pacific Railway.

Increased Consumption bpd Steady Demand Have Carried t'p Prises. In- the fiscal year 1886 the exports of forestry products, of which lumber was, of course, the chief item, amount- ed to $20,000,000. In 1897 this had risen to $40,000,000, and from present Indications the exports will exceed this year $50,000,000. Lumber dealers everywhere throughout the country re- port that the demand for all grades of lumber is greater than at any time in recent years. Yards are running night and, day, with two shifts of la- borers, loading and unloading. Every sort of seaworthy vessel that can be hired or bought, says the New York Sun, has been pressed into service by the lumbermen on the great lakes, and ocean shipments of lumber from south- ern ports are enormous. Railroad side tracks are run into all the large lumber yards, and these are crowded with cars in process of load- ing, the demand for fiat freight cars in the west and south severely taxing the resources of the companies. Some lumbermen, it is reported, are obliged to hold back their orders on account of the present obstacles tc prompt ship- ment. Exclusive of furniture, the value of which „is an inconsiderable item in American export commerce, the chief shipments of American lumber are to England and Canada and of timber sawed and hewn to England and Ger- many. Information has reached Washington that the Canadian lumber- men are urging the propriety of put- ting a tax on lumber coming from the United States into Canada. American logs and lumber are now admitted free. On the average 30,000,000 feet of logs are cut in Minnesota and Wiscon- sin every year and are shipped to Winnipeg. The chief cause. however, of the en- larged American lumber maaket and of the increased prices for American forestry products does not arise from the extensive trade between this coun- try and Canada, but from the increas- ed local demand for American lumber for building purposes. There has been a great boom in building operations throughout the United States during the first six mouths of 1899 as com- pared with the first six months of 1898. The rate of increase is fully 33 per cent. The cities showing a large increase are New York, Cleveland, I{ansas, Boston, New Orleans and To- ledo. Washington, Milwaukee, Chica- go and Minneapolis show a large but a less proportion of increase, and the only American cities which to July 1 fell off in the building record of a year were Philadelphia and Louisville. It is estimated that $200,000,000 was ex- pended in building operations in Amer- ican cities in the first six months of 1899, a considerable item of such ex- pense being fur lumber. Evaporated Bananas. Evaporated bananas are to be a new delicacy in the market of the United States. Mr. Arthur F. Spawn of Balti- more, after a trip to Jamaica, has sent representatives there to erect a plant for carrying out the plan. Mr. Spawn expects to place his first evaporated fruit on the market this fall. What- ever may be the state of the weather, the prepared banana can reach the market in an attractive state, without being affected by the summer heat or winter chill, as is the case with fruit when forwarded in its original bunch from the plant. In a small way the evaporated fruit has been tried in Eu- rope, to which country it is impossible to send it in the natural state. Con- fectioners like evaporated bananas as a base for candied fruits, and bakers can use them in a variety of ways. Bananas have been evaporated to some extent in Nicaragua, and, according to authentic information, if the plan proves successful the industry will be introduced into the banana producing districts throughout Central America, the West Indies and probably all other tropical and semitropical regions where the banana is grown. -Baltimore Sun. Cotton Cloth From China. Manufacturers of textile fabrics are interested in some specimens of pat- terned blue and white cotton cloth, sent privately from Shashih, China, to England last year, it being asserted that manufacturers in Manchester, England, would give "untold gold" to know how the stuff is made. Not be- ing a specialist, the English consul at Shashih cannot test the value of such an assertion. It is said to be prepared by means of an Impermeable paste, made of bean flour and size. A sheet of oiled paper, in which the intended pattern has been cut, is attached to the cloth, which latter, on being wash- ed with the paste, is then in a condi- tion for the paper to be removed and the cloth is left to dry in a cool and shady place. On becoming quite dry it is dipped in the indigo vat, the parts protected by the paste remaining un- touched by the dye. When wholly dry, exposure to the sun follows, which makes the hitherto impermeable paste soluble in water, and, the paste being washed off, the material is ready for the market. -Textile Mercury.

The bell, which is a musical instru- ment, may be likened to an organ pipe, and the physical laws of the latter are therefore applicable to it in a general way. Consequently, says the. Cincin- nati Commercial Tribune, of two bells of identical external aspect and of the same total diameter the thinner will give the lowest note, and of two bells of equal thickness and of equal diam- eter the shorter will give the highest note. Therefore in order to raise the tone of a bell it will be necessary to lessen its bevel 111 .order to shorten it, and in order to lower its note It will suffice to ream it put in order to in- crease its diameter.( The operation of ming is performed as follows: The be is placed upon a lathe and firmly fixed thereto by the crown. If it be desired to lower the note, a tool is placed opposite the swell, and the bell is slowly revolved so as to detach a thin shaving of bronze. This operation is continued, and more and more metal is removed as fur as the rim. Meanwhile the bell emits a con- tinuous sound, of which the tonality becomes lower and lower. The tuner, who must possess a perfectly ,correct ear, compares this round with the vi- bration of his tuning fork. As soon as the latter and the bell vibrate in uni- son he stops the motion, and the opera- tion is finished. When it is a question of raising the note, the bell is placed on the lathe, as in the preceding case, and the tool is placed opposite the tronth and made to attack the edge. in measure as the operation proceeds the sound emitted by the bell becomes sharper. The mo- ment at which the exact note is reach- ed is shown by the tuning fork. It may be readily seen that it is easier to lower the tone of a bell than it is to raise it. Sonorous bells generally pos- sess a thickness greater than that of the limit -one -fourteenth of the diame- ter -and one that permits of reaming them sufficiently to lower their note by a tone. There are certain bells, such as the 7,920 pound one of Mortreux, that are so thick that they might easily be rendered two tones graver. London's insatiable 'thirst. During the mouths of .100e, July and August tate consumption of aerated waters goes up with leaps and bounds, and soda may be almost -said to be the temporary national beverage in sum- mer time. The total amount of soda water consumed is Atartling when it is made manifest by figures. In London alone there are more titan 4,000 public houses, to say nothing of the ninny places iu which temperance drinks ate' alone provided. investigations show that in a large hotel bar or .buffet some 14, 15 or 16 dozen bottles of soda wa- ter are used every day during the hot weather. This, moreover. is by no means an overestimated amount. In a smaller place of refreshment from three to four dozen is a very ordinary day's order. Most private houses now- adays are provided with a machine for making soda water. For a small ex- penditure five piuts of excellent soda water can be made by any housewife. Imagination utterly fails to picture a machine big enough to contain the cubic mass of soda water disposed of during a hot day in London. One bot- tle for each place of refreshment is, of course, absurd. When one takes into account the provable consumption in places like the Earl's Court exhibition and the Crystal palace one gets a faint idea of its greatness. One might sail for hours upon such a soda water lake. -London Mail. Fruits For the Aged. Physiologists claim that the growth from infancy to old age is a gradual process of ossification and that the stiffness of age is caused by the de- posits of calcareous matter or earthy salts. Therefore a diet containing a large proportion of these salts, food rich in nitrogen, such as the cereals, beans, peas and meat, Increases the natural tendency to ossification. For this reason a diet made up largely of fruit, which contains a minimum amount of this calcareous matter, is scientifically best adapted to persons in advancing years. Large eaters add to the liability of ossific deposits from overworking the eliminating organs by an excess of nutritive material until their healthful activity is destroyed, and the whole system suffers in conse- quence. Old age indicates less food and a maximum amount of fruit in the diet. -Popular Science. Saving a City's Waste Paper. Waste paper in the streets of Chicago is now being collected and removed by contract on a new system, tried for the first time. The Clean Street compapy has placed boxes at various pointe, in which the paper is thrown. The com- pany has a contract with the city for a term of ten years, paying the city a percentage ou its gross receipts. It has also a contract with the Salvation Army for collecting the paper and keeping the boxes clean inside and outside, the Army having its own arrangements for sorting the paper before disposing of it. About eight tons of paper are collected each week, and the quantity is said to be increasing. The boxes are about the vise of the street mail boxes for the re- ceipt of newspapers and parcels and cost about $4.50 per box erected. There are now 1,010 boxes in use, and they are mainly placed on street corners at the edge of the sidewalk. One horse wegond of light construction are used for col- lecting. -Engineering NeWS.

DO CLIMATES CHANGE? What General Hazen of the Weather Bareau Thinks of It. We find the "early" and the "later" rain today iu Palestine precisely as de- scribed 8,500 years ago. "Jordan over- flows all its backs" in February to- day exactly as it did in Joshua's time, 33 centuries ago. I'lants taken from mummy cases itt Egypt, says W. B. Hazen in Popular Science, which must have been gathered more than 5,000 years since, are practically of the same size and have the same appearance as those growing today. Records of vin- tages iu France for over 700 years show practically the same dates as to- day. Actual observations of rainfall for over 200 years in France show no change. Observations of temperature for al- most 200 years in St. Petersburg show no change appreciable to us, though of course the earliest observations were extremely crude and somewhat unre- liable. Facts of this kind might be ad- duced to till a small volume. On the other hand, we have records of most extraordinarily cold weather in ancient times. One winter the light wine in France froze. Another winter the riv- er Po froze over so as to bear teams, an unheard of phenomenon today. It is entirely probable that descrip- tions of the cold in ancient times were much exaggerated, Parnassus has snow at times, and in earlier days, when protection against the cold and snow was much less than now, a little snow would go a long way. The earlier, voyagers from Ice- land more than 1,000 years ago, leav- ing a land of almost perpetual ice and snow and reaching a land in the sum- mer with its beautiful green color, to their unaccustomed eyes, would very naturally give the name of Greenland to it. In summer time it is said that Greenland presents a most beautiful green near the Danish settlements to this day. Our oldest inhabitants, who have been wont to describe the terrible cold and deep snows of their boyhood days as incomparably greater than any- thing which does or can occur today, completely lost their reckoning the last winter when reading of a ship that had sunk in New York harbor by weight of the ice upon it; also that Washington had had 34 inches of snow on a level and the lowest temperature ever noted in that fair city. I am sure a careful study will show uo apprecia- ble change in the climate of this earth since the early historic times. Of course nothing here adduced touches climatic changes in glacial times or in prehis- toric tinges, which changes have been established beyond question. Origin of Massage. The question as to whether massage originated in Sweden or China has been much discussed, and the latter country is evidently a strong claim- ant. According to long time Chinese ideas, life is entirely dependent on "air currents,". which are designated as the primary aura of the organism. So long, then, as the body is permeated by the air current it is proof against disease, and the object of physical exercises Is to circulate the' air current. To effect this the Chinese system is divided into three periods, each period occupying 100 days, the first period commencing at the time of the new moon. The pa- tient must rise at 4 o'clock in the morn- ing and walk outside his house, taking seven deep inspirations, and immedi- ately after this two youths who have been specially trained commence a gen- tle friction all over the body, starting over the cardiac area. At the time of full moon a further set of inspiratory exercises are taken. Later on, in the second period, the various parts of the body are rubbed with wooden planks uLtil the muscles are hardened, and it is not until this hardening takes- place that the real physical exercises are tak- en. Between the fifth and sixth month is the period of greatest activity, the European dumbbell being replaced by large sacks filled with stones. It is in the third period that the back muscles are chiefly exercised. Mice to Warn Miners. Of great importance to miners are the' recent investigations of Dr. Hal- dane of Oxford regarding the cause of death in mining accidents. He found that at the Tylorstown catastrophe 52 men out of 57 were killed by gas and only five by the concus?' The gas has no odor, and, owing to this and the fact that 1 per cent of it in the air suf- fices to kill a man, it is extremely dan- gerous. It has been found, however, that mice are even more easily affected by it than men, showing the symptoms nearly half an hour sooner -in three minutes. It is therefore suggested that miners should take along some mice in a cage and keep their eyes on them.-- New hem:- New York Post. Safe Paper For Cheeks. A well known miniature artist has produced a paper for checks which makes it impossible to remove figures Lnd writing for the purpose of altering the amount. The check is made of two sheets of paper. On the upper surface of the underslip some lines are ruled with ink composed of any per- manent coloring matter mixed with easily soluble mucilage. The lines do not show unless you hold the check up to the light. As soon as any liquid is applied to the writing the mucilage be- comes moist and the lines run, forming blots that are visible on both sides.- - Exchange. Wasted Grandeur.

It has been a common practice with artists of all ages and countries to paint their own pictures, and at the Uffizi gallery in Florence can be seen a magnificent collection of portraits of the world's great painters done by themselves. It is a coveted honor to be invited to contribute one's own portrait to this collection, for one must be emi- nent before this compliment is paid. As may be easily understood, painting one's own portrait le a somewhat trou- blesome task, for the painter must $o a good deal from memory, especially if he puts himself in an attitude which it is difficult to reflect in a mirror. A straightforward portrait looking out of the picture is obviously the easiest to manage, for the painter has only to place the mirror in front of him to see his model. Triple and quadruple mirrors must be employed when the attitude is in any way removed from full face. A profile would be more difficult to see for . oneself, but a three-quarter face would be no less so, as in both cases the artist would be working from a re- flection of a reflection, which, to say the least of it, is a bothering condition. The looking at oneself for a long time is one of the strange and trying conditions of painting one's own por- trait, for difficulties and complexities appear to grow the more one tries to grapple with them. Like the road to the tired traveler, which seems to lengthen as he goes, so the difficulties of painting oneself appear to increase rather than diminish the more one looks at oneself. Apart from painting one's one por- trait, artists largely draw from them- selves, for a man can more easily as- sume a particular attitude than get another person to do so. Then for de- tails, such as a hand, arm, nose, eye, the artist and a mirror supply all that is required. Another of the many usei of a mirror is to reverse the work dur- ing its progress, as reversing a draw- ing will often reveal an awkwardness, want of balance or faulty drawing, which might otherwise go undetected. -Chicago News. The Parrot Turned Brown. Long had the wife of a poor Wash- ington clerk been yearning for the pos- session of a green parrot. At last a fine specimen was obtained for $10. It was delivered in the morn- ing, and it came to pass that a new servant from the depths of the coun- try opened the door to the delivery boy. Her mistress was out; there was not a soul to instruct her in the code of ethics as applied to parrots. "Is it for the table?" she asked. "Without doubt," was the wicked re- ply. Whereupon the parrot was dispatch- ed at once, plucked, trussed and put into the oven. He was just turning a beautiful brown when the mistress of the establishment returned, and that same evening the little servant from the country was back among the docks and drakes of her own village green a wiser and sadder girl. -Washington Times. The Trunk Strap. "No good," said a baggage man, touching as he spolpe a rope that was tied around a trunks anding in a rail- road baggage room. It was a stout rope and securely tied so far as the knot was concerned, but it did not bind on the trunk, and it would have been difficult, if not impossible, to draw it close without some mechanical means to help. As' 1t stood with the rope loose about it the trunk could have been easily broken by careless han- dling as though (here had been no rope around it at all. "A strap is the only thing," the bag- gage man said, "to put around • a trunk." -New York Sun. Couldn't Grind Her Teeth In Sleep. An.eminant professor of psychology at Harvard was deeply interested in the case of an epileptic woman. Talk- ing with her husband, he sought out premonitions and symptoms. And he asked this question, "Did you ever no- tice that your wife ground her teeth at night?" To which the bereaved husband re- plied, "She never slept in them." -- Boston Journal. Broiling a Steak. The broiling of steak often fills the house with smoke and the meat odor. In many cases this can be avoided by as simple an expedient as opening the dampers of the stove or range when the broiler is put on and letting the draft carry the fumes up the chimney. A great many things that are odious in housekeeping may be avoided by "knowing how," e KILLED BY A BEAK BLOW. The Loon 1s a Dangerous Bird With Which to Battle. The loon, or great northern diver,is a powerful bird. The following in- stance of one of them conquering a man happened a few years ago: A young Micmac Indian, living at Grand Lake, N. S., wanted to get the skin of one of these beautiful birds to present to his 'mistress on her birth- day. One day the youth, who was au adept at imitating the peculiar sobbing cry of the loon, succeeded in calling a bird within shooting distance. Efts shot, however, failed to kill outright, and the bird, although so severely wound- ed that it could neither swim nor dive, yet retained sufficient life and strength tp remain upright in the water. The boy, thinking that his game did not need another shot, swam out to re- trieve it, but when he approached near enough to seize the bird ft suddenly made a dash at him, sending its head and neck out with a spring like an ar- row from a bow. It was only by a quick duck of his head that the Indian succeeded in evading the blow. He swam about the loon several tinges, at- tempting to dash in and seize him by the neck, but the wary bird succeeded in foiling each effort by continually facing him and lunging out with his powerful neck. The Indian then swam up to within a few feet of the bird and, diving under him with considerable skill, caught him by the legs. He carried him un- der, and, although the bird struggled fiercely, manage% to retain his hold. But when they both rose to the sur- face again a battle royal began, the Indian seeking to carry his prize ashore and the bird attempting to re- gain his freedom. The bird, however, was too much for his foe and before the Indian had covered a yard on his shore bound course disabled' him with a vicious blow from his beak full on the naked chest. The effect of the blow was almost in- stantaneously fatal, for the beak pene- trated close to the Indian's heart. - Youth's Companion. STORY OF NOSES. (Why Renowned Generals Had a Na- sal Organ of Roman Type. The features are developed by the mind. A child that is reared amid pleasant surroundings and whose mind is filled with pleasant thoughts, will have a pleasing face. The shape of the nose and chic will depend entirely upon the strength and character of the mental faculties. At 10 a boy's nose may be small and turned up at the end, at 15 it may have grown larger and be straight and at 25 it may be pronounced Roman, It all de- pends upon his mind. The Romans had big noses with high bridges because they were a steady and determined race of people. Sturdi- ness and determination will give a man a Roman nose, no matter how little or how snubby his proboscis may have been when he was born. The Greeks had straight, delicate, finely chiseled noses because their tastes are artistic and poetic. You never saw a poet or an artist with a Roman or snub nose, did you? On the other hand, it would be hard to find a great general who had not a Roman nose. Get pictures of Alexan- der the Great,-poleon, Wellington, Washington or Grant and see if they have not all got big, strong noses of the Romanesque type. Yet it is quite safe to say that if we could have por- traits of all these personages, taken in infancy, we would find their olfactory organs little pudgy affairs, like those of the common run of babies. These men were not great generals because they had Roman noses; they had Ro- man noses because\ they were great generals. -San Francisco Bulletin. A Reliable Cowcatcher. By this whimsical incident the Chi- cago News reminds us that in real life as well as in the dictionary words have more than one meaning: "Pardon me," said the tourist as he gazed at the country's first locomotive, "but why is that lasso hanging under the smokestack?" "That," responded Amber Pete, act- ing engineer, "is the cowcatcher. Thar was an iron concern that came with the engine, but- the boys didn't exactly understand how it could catch a cow, so they unscrewed it and put on one that they knew something about. It's the beet cowcatcher this side of Den- ver too." A Warning Phase. "What made you break off the argu- ment so suddenly?' "Didn't you hear what be said?" ask- ed the cautious citizen. "Yes. When you left, he had just said, 'Let tic- talk this over calmly and reasonably.' " "That's why 1 went. Whenever a Man says 'Let us talk it over calmly and reasonably' you may depend on his being so angry it won't take more than three words to make him fight." -Washington Star. N THE GAZETTE. IRVINO TODD & SON. SATURDAY. OCT. 7th, 1899. A New Volume. With this issue The Weekly Gazette enters upon its forty-third year with a gratifying outlook for another twelve months. It is believ- ed that the present era of prosperity has come to stay; that the hard times of the past, shared alike by publisher and patron, are fading away like a bad dream; and that all of us have every reason to feel encouraged by the change for the better.

It has been his aim to cover the field thor- oughly and impartially, and the suc- cess of the past is a guarantee for the future. Minnesota Journalism.

THE PETERS CARTRIDGE CQ, 3•.9 MAIN ST . CINCINNATI,Q BY ALBERT B. COLLIER. I don't know what can have made us all take Frank Pilsbury for a fool, but I am sure we did so jiidge him. Some of them, if I were to name them here, might arise in th6ir indignation and effrontery and deny that they were ever mistaken about Pllsbury's mental caliber, but it would be the height of insincerity on their part. As for me, 1 freely confess that I thought him au extremely simple youth until these thiugs happened which I am going to tell. And yet I do not know why we took ht6 for a fool unless it was be- cause f several outward indications which we observed—to wit: He parted his hair in the middle and brushed it smooth on his forehead, which was not high. He wore kid gloves all through the summer. He would talk earnestly with a girl for an hour at a tilne, giving her points about how to trim a hat. But that is the worst of these dudes. You never know quite for certain whether they are fools clear through or only on the surface. This mistake of ours was set right about tae close of the war with Spain or a little before its close. And it hap- pened as follows: Late in the spring of 1898 Jeannette Brennan was showing signals of dis- tress, and she let It be understood that the cause of her distress was Frank Pilsbury. It appeared that he was making love to her, chiefly by giv- ing her a great deal of his society— with advice on millinery matters—and also by presenting her with flowers, not artificial millinery Sowers, but real ones. All this bored Jeannette, and as Jeannette a tt was a good sort of girl we boys said that it ought to be put a stop to. Besides, Jeannette was by public opinion assigned to be the fate of one Robinson, who was not at all a fool, like Pilsbury, and was a general favorite. About this time it was reported that Letitia Helmund had at last yielded to the persistency of Fred Stimms' wooing and had allowed him to call it an engagement. Then a number of the boys enlisted for the war, Fred among them, Frank Pilabury not. Ev- erybody slapped Fred on the back and called him a good fellow. Everybody felt sorry for Letitia Helmund be- cause Fred had gone to Tampa and was being eaten by mosquitoes, and everybody felt sorry for Jeannette be- cause Frank would not expose his per- fect complexion to the ravages of these spiteful insects, Letitia Helmand was present one day when somebody said: "Can't we make Frank Pilsbury go off to the war? Can't we bring public opinion to bear on him?" Letitia sighed, thinking no doubt of poor Fred broiling and being eaten at Tampa. Then she said in her gentle, musical way, "1f everybody wants poor Frank Pilsbury out of the way, why not get him to go to Tampa?" "Do you think he could be persuaded to go that far?" "I think he might," said Letitia. Why was it that nobody had thought of this before? Frank Pilsbury was, by eminence, the squire of dames among us. Letitia's plan was simply to go off herself to Tampa so as to be near poor, heroic Fred, and to make Frank go with her as escort. Jeannette thanked her with tears of gratitude. Everybody called the plan an inspiration of genius and also a huge Joke. The idea of mak- ing pretty Frank go to that abomina- ble den of mosquitoes and hold a sun- shade over Letitia's head so that Fred might make love to her in peace be- tween drills! And Frank consented like a lamb. And the two started together amid the cheers, and also the jeers, of all the girls and of all the boys who had not gone to the front before them. The next we heard of those three was by letter. First from Letitia to Jeannette, like this: "Frank Pilsbury has proved a devot- ed and useful escort. I don't know what I should have done without him. Fred L bghs at him and wonders what he does with himself down here, but I tell Fred that if It had not been for 'my little dude,' as he calls him, I could not be' here. Anti;it is a great thing to be near one's soldier boy, isn't !t? So I have much to thank 'my little dude' for." Then from Fred Stimms: "Letitia is up at'tthe hotel, and I see her about everyday. Frank Pilsbury Is all right, He keeps out of the way when Letitia anda are together, which is what he's here for..•] guess. We call him the chaperon. I don't know how he puts in his time, except its loafing on the hotel veranda and about the 04- ban Jiban settlement. They say he talks Spanish like a dago." Just before the transports started for Cuba—the second week in June—who should turn up at home but Letitia! Everybody said she had done right not to stay till the very last, The part- ing would have been too severe a trial for her nerves. She did not bring back Frank Pilsbury with her. She seemed to have mislaid him somewhere and could not tell where he had got:to. About the end of July the news from Cuba was becoming very exciting—the news in the papers. Privately the fol- lowing came from the United States camp near Santiago. It was dated "Dalgnon, June 27." It was a letter to a mutual friend of Stimms and myself. This is a true copy: Dear Con—I am not well. A good many of us in camp here are in the same fix. it isn't the miss of my regular meals that hurts me; it is the shock I have had. A lot of Garcia's soldiers met us on the beach when we landed. They were cheering for "lea Amertcanos," One of them, in a big straw hat and a little less ragged shirt and trousers than the others, with a revolver and a big machete, came forward and shook hands with me. Then he said, "How is Letitia?" Then I saw that it was Frank Pilabury. Ile sneaked off from Tampa three weeks ago with some sort of dispatches for the Cubans, and they say he landed at Matanzas and made his way right across the island. I. couldn't believe it, but Garcia has pho- tographs tkat he took on the way. Frankie has one of those little dinky "Slap Bang" cameras with him. The Cubans are afraid of him and think he is the president's eldest son. The Span- iards took him tor an English tourist. Now they are going to fit him out with decent clothes and send him to Washington. How he did it all I don't know. I suppose it was his Spanish and getting so chummy with all those stiff dudes up at the hotel. I can't writeY n a more. The shock seems to have given me a chill. 7 believe we shall be fighting tomorrow. Hope e I may get killed, Yours, Faze Smuts. This letter set us all in a ferment of excitement. Everybody went and asked Letitia for information. Every. body felt that there must be more mss• tery behind this. Letitia smiled and said she had lost sight of Frank during the latter part of her stay at Tampa. She supposed the government must have sent him on some special mission to Cuba, because he had traveled there before the war•a a s everof h 1 t grit of and knew the country a little. I think we all felt somewhat annoyed. Jeannette unaccountably got down- right angry and began treating Robin- son, who had been obliged to stay at home on account of his mother and sis- ter, very unkindly. Poor Fred had one consolation, and that was that Frank was not at Santi- ago on the 1st of July—had, in fact, started home with his mysterious dis. patches several days before that, Fred's friends also had the consolation that Fred, in spite of his own gloomy ambitions, came out of all that fighting without a scratch, though he did go to grass later on with a severe attack of fever. By the Fourth of July Frank came home a little browner and less plump than before, it is true, but with his hair still smooth and parted plumb in the middle. When we asked him to tell us about his mysterious goings on, he said he was sick and tired of all that. The Cubans, he said, were very dirty. Then he wandered off into a discussion of the metropolitan fashions in millinery. The next thing he did was to rent a small house. Then the local papers printed an au- thorized statement of the marriage of Frank Pilsbury and Miss Letitia Hel- mund at Tampa, Fla., on the 22d;day of May, 1898, with full particulars. When somebody asked him what -he meant by breaking the heart of Jean- nette Brennan, he answered: "Her heart is not broken. Ask Robinson. That was a ruse, you know. Publie opinion was against my marriage•lwith Letitia, so we had to elude pubilosopin- lon. Atilt Letitia." Letitia, being examined, said: "I[tinev- er gave Mr. Stimms authority 'to say we were engaged. He chose to give it out, and it was not my business to con- tradict him. Yes, the Matanzasiexpe- dltion was qty idea. Still, Frankie isn't half such a fool as he looks." Fred came home an invalid longtbe- fore the other soldier boys. For three weeks we all conspired to keep the news from him, so that the shock might not kill him. When he heard the whole truth, • he packed up and went to the Pacific coast.—San Fran- cisco Call. Why IIII Is Placed on Dials. According to tradition the first clock With weight and wheels was made in 1870 by Henry de Vick for Charles V of France. This monarch, whose edu- cation had been somewhat neglected, posed for a man of learning and was accustomed to criticise things he met with. "Your clock goes well," he said to De Vick, "but the four on the dial is wrong." - "How is that?" was the question in reply. "Why, the figure ought to be formed of four straight lines and not by one I and a V, as you have made it." "Your majesty is mistaken," ventur- ed De Vick. "I am never mistaken," returned the Monarch excitedly. "Correct it for me." The order was complied with, and from that time dials have borne the character ]III instead of IV.—Jewel- !rs' Circular. It is estimated that there are 240,000 women domestic servants in London, and that 10,000 of these are always out of situations or changing their places. --� the best of every:., kind.

A Dramatic Incident In a Career Which May Have Ended Behind Prison Bars or Which May Now Be Brimful of Happiness and Hope. "These little detached passages in other people's stories that we are con- tinuallyrunning in to bypure chance," ,. said an old reporter off drty, "are the most fascinating and tantalizing things in life. Sometimes we get a whole chapter, sometimes we get nothing more than a scrap of dialogue, and as often as not it's only a glance of the eye or a gesture of the hand, but we realize all the same that we have acci- dentally intruded upon some poignant human document of which we are never to know either the beginning or the end. I have often amused myself by taking such fragmentary morsels and attempting to reconstruct around them a logical sequence of events, just as naturalists build up fossil monstrosi- ties from small sections of their big toes, and I may add that the invariable result of my efforts has shattered • my faith in comparative zoology. I am forced to believe that the naturalists are faking us. However, when"— "Oh, well," said somebody in the office, "go ahead and tell the story and have done with it!" "The incident I had in mind," con- tinued the old reporter, looking some- what injured, "was narrated to me by a gentleman of this city who is now manager of an extensive orange grove, with offices in New Orleans. -Eight or nine years ago, before he assumed his present position, he had charge of a large sugar plantation up the river, and one day daring the grinding season a yonng Englishman came to his office and applied to him fqr work. "The young fellow said his name was John Mason, and his shabby clothes_ and a hungry look in his eye confirmed the statement that he was badly . in need of a job. The manager liked his face and manners and put him at light work with a gang at the cane carriers. Mason proved a very good hand. He was steady and sober, but ho attracted no special attention, had no intimates and never let dropa word about his history. At the end of the season he drew his money and went away. "About a month later the manager received a letter from a lady in Eng- land inquiring about her son, John Mason, whom she understood was working on that plantation. The letter went on to say that he had left home believing he bad killed a yonng woman to whom he was engaged. He had struck her with something in a fit of insane jealousy. .The woman was not dead, and the trouble had been fixed np. Meanwhile the yonng man had come in for a legacy of £5, 000, and his mother wanted him to return at once. "The letter was evidently written by a person of culture and refinement and seemed sincere, but, having no idea of. Mason's whereabouts, all the manager could do was to reply to that effect. That closed the correspondence. _ "One evening next grinding season a very ragged, trampish looking roan came to the office window and asked for work. Dirt, privation and a heavy beard had changed him -considerably, but the manager recognized him as Mason at a glance. 'Didn't you use to work for me?' he asked. 'No,' replied the man. 'I was never south before in my life.' `Well,' said the manager, have no work for yon, but yon, remind- ed me at first,of a fellow I want to see, a fellow named John Mason.' "The applicant stood for a while ir- resolute. 'I used to have a partner by that name,' he said finally; `maf be it was him. What was it about?' "The manager looked him in the. eye. 'I wanted to tell him that that woman was not dead,' he replied. "Mason grabbed hold of the window sill and turned white as a sheet under his dirt. His jaw trembled for a min- ute, and then he began to blubber like a child. The manager came out, led him in kindly, and as soon as the Eng- lishman saw the letter he admitted the story of his flight was tree: The reac- tion was so great that he became half hysterical, but at last he was persuaded to go to his old quarters for the night, and the manager assured him that he would make arrangements next day for his immediate return to England." "Well?" asked asked several listeners. "That's all there is to the story," saidthe old reporter. "Next morning John Mason wasn't there. His bed had not been slept in; nobody had seen him ; nobody has ever seen him since. Where he came from, what became of him, who he really was, nobody knows. The manager wrote to the mother and got no reply, and the question arises, Was it his mother after all? Might not the letter have been a decoy ? How did the writer learn his address? Was the girl actually alive or dead? True, the manager might have settled some of these problems by further inquiries at the English end, but he is a wise man and has learned that it is not well to meddle with detached chapters. It is an excellent rule. "—New Orleans Times -Democrat. Cold and Chloroform.

Some Are Too Dull to Learn Aar. thing. While Others Are Quick to Catch an Idea—Forcible Methods Used In Their Training. "Scores of people ask me every day," said Keeper Snyder of the elephant house in Central park recently, "how anything so stpd 1stupid and thick ooking skinnedusan elephant can be tanght anything. I tell them all that elephants are not unlike children. Some are too dull to learn anything, and others can catch an idea quickly. Tom," he went oat, pointing to the large elephant who was busily engaged in throwing hay on his back, "although irascible in disposi- tion, is quite intelligent. The first trick I taught him was to lie down. This was not so easy to accomplish as ib' might seem, for it took a block and fall at front apd rear, with a gang of 15 or 20 men at each end. I stood at one side, kind as I said 'Get down!' his feet were drawn out from under him. This had to be repeated only a few times be- fore he learned what 'Get down' meant for him. "To teach him to stand on his hind feet and on his head a block and fall on a beam over his head, a snatch block and two 'dead men' in the floor and the services of another elephant were all required. As I said `Get up!' the ele- phant in harness walked forward, end Tom's front feet went np, while his hind feet were chained together. When I said `Stand op your head!' his front feet, which had been previously chain- ed, remained on the floor, while his hind feet were drawn np until they al- most literally `kicked the beam. ' "These were his first lessons. When— he henhe learned to drill to `right about, face,' and 'left -about, face,' I stood on one side of - him and another man on the other, and we each had a prod. As I commanded 'Right about, face!' he was pushed over •to the right, and 'Left about, face!' he was prodded in that direction. - I taught him to waltz in much the same way, only as we pushed him back and forth we made him go clear around, and now he is one of the best waltzers in the country. He learn- ed to ring the bell and fan himself in one lesson. Both require the same mo- tion, and they are really the same trick, although people never think of .that. Yes, he knows which is which and never picks up the fan or napkin when I tell him to ring the bell. I only had toputeach, one at a time, in his trunk, and with the -fan and bell- I shook it and with the napkin wiped first one side of his mouth and then the other. He took to hand organ grinding like a Mulberry street Italian. It is one of his. favorite tricks. "The elephant is the only animal whose legs all bend.the same way. His hind Legs bend in, and the position re- quired for creeping is not very comfort- able, but he does it as well as a baby. His performances on the harmonica are the most surprising to onlookers, but the fact is that all the intelligence required for that is holding the instru- ment. As he must breathe through bis trunk, every breath moves it back and forth. I discovered that ha,holds his breathwhenhe stands on his hind legs by trying to get him to do that and play_the harmonica at the same time, but his front feet are no sooner up than the sound ceases until they are down again. "His tub is about 2% -feet high, and it took me about an hour to get him to mount it the first time and as long to get him down from it once he was up. I had finally to improvise a step from it before he would come down. He went right up again, however, and came down and repeated the movement sev- eral times in the first lesson. Now he mounts it and standel;on his hind feet his front feet, his side feet and waltzes and changes on it. "People all seem to think that an ele- phant`has no sense of feeling because his akin is thick and coarse. The fact is that his skin is as sensitive as a baby's, and if yon tickle him with a straw you will find it out. The feet of the ele- phant have to be repaired frequently, for they are as susceptible to corns and stone bruises as - the feet of people, arid they have to be out and trimmed. You wouldn't think it, would you, that twice around Tom's front foot, when he is standing with his full weight upon it, is equal to his. height? It is true, and it is a rule that seldom varies an inch in"any elephant. "The African elephants have only four toes, and their ears are very large. The Asiatic elephants have five toes, and their ears are smaller. There are few African elephants in this country —not more than three or four. Not long ago, at an exhibition in this city, there was a skin of leather with small ears and comparatively fine texture (the hide from all. elephants has too large pores to make it of use), and it was labeled, 'Hide from an African ele- phant.' People don't know anything about them."—New York Post. Advantage's of Emerson. Bertha—But isn't there a good deal of Emerson's writings that you do not understand, Uncle Charles?

Some years ago Kansas was overrun with so called "rainmakers" who did a thriving business in vicinities afflicted with drought. The Rock Island rail- road had a rainmaker who traveled about the country in a special car and made rain from Texas to Iowa. At the time the process employed was guard- ed as a secret, and no doubt the mys- tery surrounding the operation had much to do with the interest aroused among the peon. But now comes George Matthews In the Wichita Eagle with a full exposition of the means employed by the Rock Island wizard and others, and the following Is the recipe given by him: "Ten fluid ounces of subsulpburic acid. "Fifty fluid ounces of water. "Five ounces of zinc. "Renew every hour and stir every 30 minutes day - and•. uight ' until rain comes. The moment rain begins to fall remove jar or crock. In territory west of Kansas use one-third less; at sea level use double the quantity. In Kansas work only on southerly winds, which are the moisture bearing winds. Begin an experiment only in a clear sky, One station of the experiment, if successful, will produce a rain 30 to 50 miles in diameter. A better and more certain result cap be secured by having three or more stations 40 or 50 miles apart." - According to Mr. Matthews, this mix- ture left in an oven mouthed jar gen- erates hydrogen gas, which rapidly ascends. The theory is that this gas ascending creates a shaft through the hot air down which the cold air rushes, creating a storni center and gathering moisture for precipitation. Matthews claims that of the 200 experiments made by him at least 180 were success- ful.—Kansas-City .Journal: Take the Tombstone Along. The cemetery superintendents say that there is one peculiarity about the funerals of Chinamen which is nev- er noticed at any othett: funerals. The tombstone always comes along with the fune'al. Most of the tombstones are simple slabs of marble, with the inscription in Chinese characters, which are arranged up and down in- stead of across the stone. In two or three instances the funerals of Chi- namen have been known to be delayed because the friends of the man who was to be buried were waiting for the tombstone. to be finished. The stone is always taken to the cemetery in the undertaker's wagon.—Baltimore Sun. • Contrary. "I think my Uncle Jerry," said Aunt litchitobe1, "was the contrariest man I ever see.

The soldier is taught that the bullet avels through the air in a curved line called the trajectory, and that three orces act upon it—first, the exploded harge, tending to drive it forward in straight line along the line of fire; ond, the force of gravity, and, third, he air resistance. At 200 yards, owing o these forces, the bullet, traveling at he rate of 2 0 0 feet a second, will ave fallen about two feet. In the ex- itement of firing at close quarters the im will invariably be too high. It has been calculated that when tho nemy approaches within 850 yards the Idiers will instinctively fire as mach s two feet or three feet above their eads. Now, it has beekIptinfl by ex- �eriment that the fact of fixing bay - nets will cause the bullet to drop a 'stance of about 23' feet in 350 yards, nd therefore when about this distance om the enemy soldiers are instructed o fix bayonets, in order to counteract he excessive elevation of their aim. The recruit learns that the mean ex- reme range of the bullet is 8,400 yards, nd that the longest shot ever observed was 3,700 yards. He is taught the pene- rating power of his weapon, a subject ull of interest. To take one or two ex- mples, rammed earth gives less pro- ection than loose; bullets eafdly find heir way through joints of wally, while concentrated fire of about 150 rounds t 200 yards will breach a nine inch .rick well. Only c::. rtence can teach a soldier •ow mach be mast aim to the right or eft of his mark to counteract the force tf the wind. A side wind bas more ffect on the flight of the bullet than a wind blowing directly toward the firer. he soldier must learn the habits of his ifle, since some shoot higher or lower han others.

The fact was learned from a blind man who was waking with a friend amid strange surroundings in Westchester county last week. "Is a train coming?" he asked. "Why do you ask?" his friend in- quired, for, though there was a rail- way track a few hundred feet ahead of them there was not the slightest sound to indicate its presence.

Every year the bulk of city men go farther afield and each morning and night perform their tedious pilgrimage to and from the scene of their busy la- bors. There can be no doubt that con- stant railway traveling of this kind is calculated, sooner or later, to play havoc with the soundest constitution. While it is, of course, impossible to lay down any exact rule, it spay 'be stated generally that no such daily rail- way journey should be touch over an hour in length, a space of time that is far more than enough to carry the citi- zen into pure air and the most sylvan of scenery.

Tells Its Own Story. - In a pretty Wisconsin town not far from Milwaukee there is a "spite fence" which tells its own story to all the world. It is a high and tight board affair and .cuts off a view across a number of beautiful lawns. The man who lives on one side of It evidently feared that the fence would bring down on his bead the condemnation of his neighbors. Not wishing to be unjustly blamed, he bas therefore painted on his side of the fence in letters that can be read a block away these words: "He built this fence. I didn't do it-" The man on the other side also had no idea of letting a false impression get out. Accordingly he has painted on the other side of the high barrier: "I had to do it" 'Tried Liquid Air on a Deg. Liquid air presents surprising possl• bilities as a medicine.

On the summit of an extinct volcano, near the edge of .a lake, filling the former crater, soundings have es- tablished the presence of a sand layer containing small diamonds. It would be instructive to know whether these diamonds were there accidentally or whether the find is connected with a diamond field, for the -said mountains are not situated in a district known to be diamantiferous.

An attendant invited him to take a seat. He did so, and strains of delight- ful music came from the chair. He hung his hat on a rack and put his stick in the stand. Music came from both rack and stand. He wrote his name in the visitors' register, and on dipping his pen into the ink music burst forth from the inkstand. The manager of the factory explain- ed the process of making musical boxes, a business which requires pa- tience and nicety. The different parts .are made by men who are experts in those parts and who do nothing else year in and year out. The music is marked on the cylinder by a man who has served several years of apprenticeship. Another man inserts in the marked places pegs which have been filed to a uniform length. The comb, or set of teeth, which strikes the pegs and makes the sound is arranged by a man who does nothing else. The cylinder is then re- volved to see that every peg prljj ces a proper tone. The most delicate work of all i the revising of each peg. It is do by a workman who has a.good ear for mu- sic. He sees that every peg is in its proper place and Is bent at the correct angle.

"Women often send messages to their dressmaker or to dry goods shops on postal cards," says The Ladies' Home Journal, "attaching a bit of cloth, rib- bon—or lace as samples. This makes the card 'unmailable,' so it is always sent to the dead letter office and in- variably destroyed. Men—presumably men—not infrequently paste a clever joke or a telling political fragment upon a postal and send It to a friend at least, start it. But it never arrives.' Nothing may be attached to a postal card, nor may one word be written up.' on the address side except the address itself." - Glad to Coast. She—What did papa say?

You may have noticed, little friends, That cats don't wash their faces Before they eat, as children do, In all good Christian places, Well, years ago a famous cat, The pangs of hunger feeling, Rad chanced to catch a hie young mouse, Who said as he ceased squealing: "All genteel folks their faces wash Before they think of eating!" And, wiah{ng to be thought well bred, Puss heeded his entreating. But when.ehe raised her paw to wash, Chance for escape affording, The sly young mouse said his goodby Without respect to wording. A feline council met that day And passed in solemn meeting A law forbidding any cat To wash till after eating. —Outlook. i--i-i-I-I-I-i-1-I-d-I-I V I I I When the Cyclone Came It Reunited a Pair of Lover. In an Unromantic Henhouse. Vlasta looked wistfully out of her small paned window, deep set in the heavy sod wall, and sighed. The piles of unwashed dinner dishes over which she was at work hardly ac- counted for that sigh, and the view without was pleasant rather than oth- erwise. It was a Sunday afternoon in late June, hot and unusually still for that windy country, but the rolling stretch- es of prairie grass and the great fields of young wheat and corn still held the freshness of early spring. _ But the cloud, "no larger than a man's hand," is always present in some form or other. One was at that moment rising lazily on the western horizon, over the low, green hills, just a faint summer cloud, unseen by the girl, whose eyes were fixed on a nearer and, to her, much more attractive object. This, as is apt to be the case when maidens sigh, was a young man, whi , on the other side of a barbed wire fence,' some little dis- tance away, was busily engaged in washing his buggy, which was rolled in front of hiswn little the 1 ow sod house. He was. of middle size, dark haired and featured, like herself, and clad in the careless costume of overalls and jacket of blue denim, faded alit dingy from exposure to sun and weather, and the battered sombrero of light felt, which were usual in his everyday occu- pation of farming. As any one familiar with that part of *the country could tell at a glance, they were young Bohemians, members of that great army of hardy settlers who have made homes for themselves in the previously untilled west. But hearts will be hearts in every place, and Juliet may pine for her Ro- _ meo in ancient castle no more than in humble sod house, as did this common- place little heroine, with her plain but kindly face. • Now, by custom immemorial Sunday is the r ural holiday everywhere, r where and it y is especially pec y so among our Foreign born citizens, who on that day sally forth, clad in their best, ready for visiting and merrymaking and seeing no incon- gruity between church and mass in the morning and a dance in the afternoon or evening. So, considering this, it seemed that the young settler, Albrecht Hollub, should be on pleasure bent, and the signs indicated to Vlasta that so he was, or soon would be. Herein lay the sting which changed for her the sun- shine of that glorious June day to lom. go For Albrecht—as "going riding" in his new buggy—going without her and no doubt with some other girl, when it was really 'ser place on that seat be- side him. And had she not proudly occupied it until that unlucky night not yet two weeks ago, but seeming half a life- time, as a girl's. short lifetime goes! Such a little thing, too, as is general- ly the case, to have caused all this trouble. She was not sure how Al- brecht felt. Perhaps he was glad to get rld of her. Here two great tears dropped into the dishpan at the thought. Just a dance at a young friend's wedding, it being their custom for a bridal party, to go to a justice or country judge to have the ceremony performed and then to return to the bride's home for a grand celebration, which usually lasted all night. Then a foolish quarrel, when Albrecht, heat- ed by excitement and beer, had insist- ed that she danced too often with the bride's elder brother. She had refused to listen to him, of, course, with the re- sult that he had walked out into the darkness and had never been near her since. Perhaps she had sought covertly and no doubt awkwardly to find an oppor- tunity of making amends, but he had ignored or avoided her, though they lived on adjacent claims; hence, for her, at least, bitter days and nights. She felt vaguely, in her simple fash- ion, the hardness of the woman's code, which bids her "wait and weep" in si- lence, a rule that has broken many be- sides country hearts like hers. And all this time The cloud in the west was rising. It looked much like a puff of black smoke, and there were others ngLso dark climbing up beside it. The dishes were finished and put away in the kitchen "safe," or cup- board, and the girl sat down by her window—she was very fond of that window in those days—and gazed ab- sently out. The landscape was left desolate to her, for Albrecht had disap- peared, probably to attire himself for his outing. Her father nodded in the shady door- way over his long, curved pipe. In the inner room her mother dtscoiirped volu-1 bly to her second ,daughter.in her na tive totigue, which is not forgotten by the old people at -least. The shouts of the numerous younger children came from without, where they romped, among the rarm wagons and machin- ery, and the horses and cattle grazed contentedly on the fenced in prairie II that formed the pasture. It was alt' homely, but peaceful, and presently the girl's eyes, heavy with unaccustomed vigils, closed. She did not see the cloud rapidly swelling and taking the omi- nous shape dreaded by prairie dwell- ers, the so called funnel form, which in this case was a much flattened one. — It seemed but a few minutes later UM when Vlasta roused abruptly in daze bewilderment. A distant shout, one o alarm and warning, seemed echoing 1 her ears. How dark it had grown And there were Albrecht and his littl old mother, who kept his house, stan ing before their door, exclaiming an gesticulating wildly. At the same mo ment there came a rush of furiou wind, bringing the sound of a low menacing roar, while the mass of dust green cloud appeared to quit the hori son and start swiftly on an earthwar path. Vlasta guessed instantly • the peri that threatened and sprang up with terrible cry: "My father, mother, quick! The cy clone! The cyclone!" Then followed wild confusion screaming children running to thei parents, frantic exclamations, bustl and hurry. Whither should they fly for refuge i that hour of terror? It was the go mother that solved the problem wit prompt presence of mind. "The henhouse, children! Let us ru to the henhouse!" she cried, and sh crowded her stout self and her bes feather bed, brought from the father land, valiantly through the narrow doorway, : followed by her husband, carrying his pipe and armchair, and by the others with whatever they chanc- ed to catch up, all racfflg through the thick, whirling dust to the designated place of refuge. In fact, it was the most suitable one within their reach, being really a low "dug out" in the side of a smajl hill, the front or open side facing south and filled in with a sod wall, containing only a small, rough door and a tiny window whose four small panes were thickly coated with dust. In they rushed pellmell, causing wild discomfiture to the usual occupants of this abode, which flew, fluttering and cackling wildly, from 'their rude nests and perches. The father --was in the act of closing the door after the last one was in when it was pushed violent- ly open from without, and Albrecht and his mother, lacking such a shelter of their own, flung themselves among them. ' Then the door, like that of the ark, was shut and braced by the father's stout shoulder. And none too soon, for the air was thick with flying debris. There were 12 of them—more souls than the ark carriedand crowded into a much Smaller space, but that matter- ed little at such a time. The fowls screamed, -the children wailed, the big mother and the little mother rocked and prayed in each oth- er's arms, the t e fath er bemoaned his farm and stocl; but as for Vlasta— the cyclone had given her what the fates hadotherwise denied, and the up- roar and danger were all dominated by the joy that Albrecht was again beside her, so close that she could almost feel his deep, hurried breathing. It was but a moment, and then, with a deafening roar, a rush of darkness, a choking breath of sulphur, the storm center was upon them. Vlasta remembered how it happened, but when she was able to realize any- thing her arms were around Albrecht's neck and he was holding her to him and murmuring words of endearment, which she felt rather than heard. "My love, my little one" -though she was as tall as he—"do not fear. I will keep thee safe. I, thy own beloved." Vlasta's pet white pullet fluttered on their shoulders like the white wing- ed dove of peace. The storm went swiftly on its resistless Way, leaving desolation behind it. Theirjlouses were in ruins, their lit- tle possessions torn to pieces or scatter- ed far and wide, even a large part of the growing crops rooted up or ground into the soil But their lives were spared, and they are hardy and courageous. Sod houses can soon rise again and other crops grow green on sunlighted plains, and before long in the new home there will be "sounds of revelry by night" and another merry wedding dance.—Buffalo News. Died Rather Than Kill. The responsibility of taking human life under any `Eircumstances is tremen- dous. Justifiable as it may be to kin in self defense, we cannot but admire the wonderful self control of an Ar- menian who preferred to die rather than live with blood upon his hands. It was during the horrible massacres in Armenia- A native, says the Rev. George H. Hepworth, was employed to one of the railroad stations. He was standing on the platform when the, mob approached. A Turk, who knew the man to be a faithful serv- ant, handed him a pistol, saying: "It is an outrage. Take this and de- fend yourself. It is good for six of the rascals." The Armenian took the weapon, hesi- tated for a moment, then handed it back with a groan. "I can't do it," he said. "I had rather die than commit murder." In less than teg minutes he was a braised and bleeding corpse, and the fiends had"started on the track of an- other victim.—Youth's Companion. . d f n e 1 d s y d a r e II od h II e t Disinfectants In Brooms. An antiseptic broom recently brought out has a bag suitable for containing the antiseptic material fastened on DISINFECTING BROOMS. the end of the stick and covered entire- ly by the corn. Numerous outlets are provided, and the act of sweeping causes the antiseptic material to be distributed in small but sufficient gtikntities for the thorough deodoriza- tion and disinfection of the carpet and the room. FOR COMPRESSING AIR. Largest Machine of Its Rind In the World. The attempt to utilize compressed air in operating street cars dates back 10 to 15 years, but until two or three years ago the venture was not attended with reasonable success. Certain difficulties peculiar to that Class of work were overcome only after prolonged experi- ment, so that this particular develop- ment is a distinctly modern one. It is only after recognizing these facts that one is in a position to appre- ciate the beauties of the big air com- pressor, says the New York Tribune, that has just been installed.Lt West Twenty-fourth street and the North river, New York city. This compressor has four cylinders. The biggest has a ♦ 1,500 HORSEPOWER AIR COMPRESSOR. diameter of 46 inches and carries on the first part of the work. The next bas a diameter of 24 inches, the third one is 14 inches across, and,the fourth only six. But the pistons in them all have strokes of the same length, • 60 inches. Here is a point of comparison be- tween the engine and the compressor. Expansion chills any vapor, and com- pression heats it. The steam that en- ters the cylinders of an engine grows y g cooler?and cooler as it drives the piston before it, The air in a cotnpressor gets hotter and hotter as the piston drives It into a corner. If a single stage com- pressor is used to carry the pressure up to 100 poun the inch, ordinary at- mospheric air ifiiuld be heated to 500 or perhaps 550 degrees. This would be for machinery. It is customary, bad hiner c Y y, therefore, to divide the work into two or more stages and send the hot air in, to apparatus for cooling it after each compression. By going up to only 40 pounds at the outset the temperature is kept down to the vicinity of 300 or 350 degrees. The four stage compress- or is provided with four coolers, one for each cylinder, so that the air enters the storage tanks at something like or- dinary temperatures. The steel bottles in .which the air is stored are intended to sustain pres- sure es - sure of only 2,300 or 2,500 pounds ordi- narily, but to insure safety they are tested up to 4,000 pounds to the inch before being put into service. In the power station about 600 of these bot- tles are to be used. These are connect- nd with the charg- inged�w t g ing tube for the cars by means of pipes and valves. What the Busy Microbe Does. 'Tis difficult to believe that the most useful living thing is the dreaded mi- crobe. Of course there are microbes andmicrobes. To some of them we owe all our ailments. But the list of useful functions fulfilled by others is a long one. They make beer by fermenting the materials. Itis the microbe that inakes whisky by splitting up the /malt into alcohol and other things. And it is the microbe that makes wine from grapes. He plays an essential part in tan- ning leather; he makes indigo from in- digo plant; he flavors butter, and cheese; he makes meat tender, and he makes bread rise. He gives tobacco its aroma; be takes the hard fibrous covering off flax; he makes vinegar. He frees nitrogen from manure for the nourishment of plants, and he con- verts grass into the useful ensilage, To Locate Ships. A novel method of detecting the sound of a steamship's propellers has been invented by an Italian. He has made ab apparatus which is a varia- tion of the telephone. Several trans- mitters are submerged and arranged on land or to point in different direc- tions, all being connected with a re- ceiver on board another ship. The di- rection in which the sound is loudest indicates the point of the compass in which the distant ship is to be looked for. Experiments have shown that a ship's propellers betray its where- abouts at a distance of six miles.—New York Journal For Seasickness. As for the symptoms of seasickness, a few drops of chloroform on sugar will sometimes relieve the vomiting. Tincture of capsicum, well diluted, is another good drug. Alcohol should be avoided unless in the stage of exhaus- tion during the latter part of the at- tack. Do not take salines for consti- pation. The best laxative is compound licorice powder in full doses. Opium with some mild astringent may be giv- en for diarrhea.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Big Freightyards. Enormous freightyards are com g.

"Yes," said the rustic editor, "when my first subscription came in ,brought tears to my eyes." "Ab, I see," said the caller, "success after so many failures brought emo- tions that could not be restratne ." "No, it wasn't that, mister; It w be- cause the first subscriber paid his ill In onions."—Chicago News. The Woman and the Car. It's a strange thing about women and cable ears when the time comes for them to part,- . man or a boy will just naturally drop off the car and start along the street as if nothing had hap- pened, but let a woman attempt to emulate his example and sad work does she make of it. Even a rainy day costume doesn't help her out much, for skirts have little to do with her bungling method of leaving the car. It is a matter that cannot be explained so easily as can her inability to throw a ball, for in the latter case anatomy is at fault. Sometimes she puzzles over it her- self, but in the majority of cases she gives the matter no thought, but sim- ply rises, grasps the railing, and, whether the car is at a standstill or In -motion, steps off backward. Some one should be able to offer a reason- able explanation of the very apparent fact that her j"mpulse in that case is to do the incorrOct thing. Even when she carefully studies the subject and trains herself to face in the same direction in which the car is moving it never "seems natural" to her.—New York Sun. The Flank March. "Stonewall died," ran one of the most popular fables, "and two angels came down from heaven to take him back with them. They went to his tent. He was not there. They went to the hospital. He was not there They went to the outposts. He was not there. They went to the prayer meeting. He Was not there. So they had to return without him, but when they reported that he had disappeared they found that he had made a flank march and reached heaven before them."—"Stonewall Jackson," by Lieu- tenant Colonel G. F. It. Henderson. The Broker's Reply. A youthful looking broker went into a Broadway store the other day to buy a new bat, and laid his old one on the counter while waiting for the clerk to wait upon him. He happened to turn around as a Quaker came in in the garb unusual even in this cosmopolitan city, and smiled involuntarily at the add sight. The Quaker took the bro- ker for a salesman, and, taking off his broad hat, held it out to the young man, saying: "thud thou a hat like this, my friend 7' "No," replied the broker, "and If I bad I would not wear it." Then, noticing the look of surprise on the face of the grave old Quaker, he explained that he dealt in stocks, not In hats.—New York Tribune. Disastrous Fortune Telling.

When it gets so that a farmer can go out and vaccinate his potato field, thereby insuring a good crop, it must be admitted that bacteriology has ad- vanced to an extent that calls for won- der and admiration. Perhaps inoculate would be a better word to use in this connection, for it is not vaccine mat- ter which the 'farmer is recommended by the scientist to inject into his fields, but a microbe which produces nitro- gen for the use of the crops. Such bac- teria, produced by what is known as "culture" by being artificially propa- gated, are already on the market, and, though the -industry is still in its in- fancy, the feasibility of producing rich soils by inoculation has been demon- strated. Some time ago Berthelot, the cele- brated French chemist, predicted that the time was coming when the chemist in his laboratory would manufacture unlimited quantities of nutritious food for mankind, and the occupation of the man with the hoe would be gone. Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief chemist of the de- partment of agriculture, says of the dreams of M. Berthelot: "This savant boldly proclaimed that synthetic chemistry had already made such progress as to warrant the expee- they are -busy night and day putting the nitrogen of the air into such shape that it can be used by plant life. Dr. Wiley says of these little workers: "In so far as is definitely known, the le- ruminosae-that is, the family to wbich clover, peas, beans and similar plants belong—are the only plants ca- pable of supporting the parasitic life of these nitrifying bacteria. From time immemorial it had been noticed that such plants often bad small nodules on their roots from the size of a shot to the size of a pea. These were for- merly supposed to be evidences of a diseased condition. Some ten years ago it was discovered that these no- dules were inhabited by bacteria`whicb have the fahulty of converting free ni- trogen into forms suitable for plant nu- trition. Thus what was supposed to -be the effect of a disease is found in fact to be a most useful form of bacteria." The discovery of these organisms has led to a systematic cultivation of thein with a view of supplying them to soils which are deficient in them. These lit- tle animals are supplied to the farmer in small bottles and are prepared for use by stirring them in with a mass of moist rich earth. This slimes them to multiply rapidly. When they have mul- tiplied sufficiently, the earth in which they are is scattered over the field into which it is desired to introduce them. Besides these bacteria which work to give life to peas, beans, clover and the like, there are other bacteria laboring in the soil to give nitrogen in a proper form to general crops, and they • also hat been caught, classified and culti- vated. One species of this bacteria is known as alinite and is said to be an efficient germ in transforming free nitrogen into a chemical combination especially adapted for the nourishment of cereals. Dr. Wiley says that this alinite has been subjected to extensive experi- ments by foreign chemists, but Dr. Wiley is of the opinion that the prac- tical value of the substance must be left for future experimental study. When alinite is used to inoculate a field, it is tutted with water and the in- fusion applied to the seeds before they are sown. From 500 to 1,000 individual microbes are said to adhere to each seed. Theoretically considered, it is logical to expect that if with the seed is planted a large number of organisms capable of rendering available for the use of the germ and the plant which is to grow from it the nitrogen already contained in the soil and endowed with the polPer of absorbing more nitrogen from the air the young plants will be- gin their growth with a vigor and ra- pidity which will assure an abundant harvest. In order that soils should be inocu- lated with just the bacteria they need to increase their productiveness it is necessary to have samples of these soils, and thus a new branch of agri- cultural researc as. beef$ established in the United S tes. Dr. Wiley, who seems to have to up this study in earnest and to have achieved better re- sults than any of the foreign experi- menters, says: "For several years the chemical divi- sion of the department of agriculture has pursued studies of this descrip- tion. From all parts of the country samples of soils have been secured, not merely for physical andchemical examination, but also for the purpose of studying the nature of the nutrify- ing organisms. To this end a new method of procedure had to be invent- ed and tested. The problem of secur- ing samples free from contamination with other organisms was one of con- siderable difficulty. This problem we have endeavored to solve in the man- ner described below. "Sterilized sampling tubes are pre- pared and are covered with rubber. The tube is made of brass, beveled at one end so as easily to enter the soil. The tube, rubber caps and the rubber balls which are placed in them to pre- vent the cutting action of the edges of the tube are subjected to a ster- ilizing temperature for an hour or two on three successive days. Any spores which may have escaped destruction in the first sterilization are permitted to develop and are destroyed in the successive sterilizations. The blunt end of the tube is filled with a plug of sterilized cotton, which serves to per- mit the egress of the air when the sharp- end of the tube is forced into the soil to secure the sample." BOOT WITH NODULES FULL OF BACTERIA. tation that in days not far distant the vocation of the geoponist would be • gone. According to his philosophy, the areas devoted to agriculture would be planted to forests and parks and the whole world would be made a pleasure garden, in which men, no longer doom- ed to earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, would roam at will, while the chemist in his laboratory would Supply them with unlimited stores of nutritious food." Sir William Crookes, presidentofthe British Association For the Advance- ment of Science, in an address before that association, to quote Dr. Wiley again, "again raised the ghost of star- vation, which has been periodically flouted before men since the times of Malthus. According to Sir William, the starvation which is imminent to hu- manity will be due to the scarcity of wheat, and the failure of the wheat' crop will be due to a lack of assimila- ble nitrogen." Sir William's argument was briefly as follows: Wheat is the great source of bread of the advanced and progressive natious of the world. The area planted to wheat is now practically as great as it ever can be. The natural fertility of the wheat- •flelds is diminishing rapidly, due to loss of available nitrogen, so that the average product per acre cannot be greatly increased. In about 30 years the increase in the population of the earth will reach a point when all the wheat will by eaten, and aetual hunger for bread will be established. The only way to avoid the world famine for bread is to increase the adores of available nitrogen. The deposits of natural nitrogen are not large enough to supply indefinitely the increasing needs of agriculture. The activity of nitrifying organisms also will not be sufficient to meet the demand. The sole resource, therefore, seems to be the chemical discovery of fixing nitrogen, and to this end the electrical process seems best adapted; and probably the vast energy of the Niagara water power might be devot-' ed to this purpose. Between the dark picture of a starving world whose only hope is in Niagara falls, as set forth by Sir William Crookes, and that fascinat- ing picture portrayed by Berthelot are the great nitrate beds of Chile and who shall say how many more yet undiscov- ered, and, more than all this, new and rapidly developing knowledge of inocu- lation, which practical chemistry is now getting in working order. For years and years the farmer has inoculated his fields, without knowing it, when be plowed in a growth of clover, peas, beans or other plants of the kind known as leguminous. He knew that by raising such crops and plowing them in the fertility of his field was increased, and now the scien- tist comes along and tells him why. It seems that these plants are infested with little animals so small as to re- qulre a microscope_ to see them; that ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD Bow Human Life May Be Length- ened by Improved Sanitary Conditions and Success In Preventing Disease. BROOM CORN SEED. Tradition Says Franklin Planted the First One In This Country. Every housewife is supposed to know how to handle a broom, but it Is safe to say that not one in ten has any clear idea of what her sweeping utensil Is made of or how It Is made or where the material came from. Brooms are made from the heads or brushes of the broom corn, a drat cousin to our common field corn. And in this con- nection is told a very pleasant little fairy story concetning Benjamin Franklin. "Poor Richard," by the way, seems to have been about the biggest jack of all trades that ever helped the United States to become the richest and most powerful nation of the world. If this story Is true, he is the patron saint of the housewife and the broommaker, as well as a kite - flier, lightning catcher, printer, pub- lisher, editor, auther, philosopher, statesman and other things "too nu- merous to mention." Broom corn first grew In India. From there it was carried to Europe. The story goes that Dr. Franklip was ex- amining a whisk broom that Aad been brought over from England in the days before we bad any broom corn of our own. He found a single seed on the broom, picked it off, planted it and raised a stalk of corn from which is descended, so to speak, all of the broom corn of the United States. However this may be, broom corn grows much like its first cousin, our maize, which originated here. The head is larger, however, and the seeds grow on the head instead of in ears. The heads are cut off, leaving about nix inches of stalk, and the seeds are scraped off by a machine, which does a clean job and does not injure the pan- icles. The seeds are valuable in a way. They are fed to horses and poul- try and ground into meal for cattle. In the making of the brooms. the corn Is put around a handle of basswood or soft maple turned in a lathe. Each layer is wound tight with twine or wire until the desired size Is attained. -The broom is then pressed out fiat and sewed to keep it in that shape. Whisk brooms are made In the same way.— Buffalo Express. "I believe the time is coming when the average age of human Beings in civi- lized communities will be 100 years and possibly 120 years," said an eminent hygienic specialist. "There 1s no rea- son why human life should not be pro- longed to that extent. Vital statistics of the present day show that persons live to a greater age now than 15 or 20 years ago. Of coarse I do not refer to individual cases, but to the general run of mankind in countries where civ- ilisation and advancement in science have had an opportunity to make their effects felt. "Improved sanitary conditions, edu- cation and the advances which have been made in surgery and in medicine are chiefly responsible for this. The tendency of the medical age is toward prophylactics—that is, the ability to prevent diseases. The researches that have been made in chemistry with the microscope make it possible to tell many weeks in advance the character of certain diseases that are developing in the human body, the condition of the blood reling this and affording physicians a*opportunity to kill the germs before the health of the patient runs down and the disease develops. When the germs are killed or removed, the patient goes on living with renew- ed health until a Broadway cable car or some other death dealing agency ends bis life. "In many autopsies which I have - made on the bodies of big, healthy men I have found in the lungs indications that consumption had existed at some time in their lives, but nature took -a hand in their treatment and effected a care by depositing lime or chalk in the diseased spot. That put an end to con- sumption in the men's bodies. The building up of a diseased lung with chalk is nature's way of bringing about a cure. If man knew as much as na- ture does, we could prolong life with- out difficulty. "There can be no doubt that in time preventives will be found for many diseases for which nowrthere seems to be no cure. We have seen how vacci- nation has done wonders in the suppres- sion of smallpox. There should be some preventive for pneumonia, and I think some prophylactic will be discovered in time in the form of an antitoxin that will destroy the pneumococci, or germs of the disease. Consumption can be cured by plenty of good food and fresh air. "Improved sanitary laws, aseptic methods and the general knowledge gained in surgery and in medicine have saved the lives of hundreds of thou- sands of persons within the last quar- ter of a century. The forward move- ment in the direction of additional knowledge of how to combat diseases and ills to which man is subject is bound not only to keep down'the aver- age death rate, but will tend to insure people who observe the ordinary laws of health many additional years of life, which should in the majority of cases extend to 100 years or even more. "Of course, If a man abuses himself, either by drink, overwork, loss of sleep or in the many other ways that nature will not countenance without compel- ling the individual that transgresses its laws to pay the penalty, there is every probability that he will be deprived of many years of life, just as it has been the case in the past with those who will not heed nature's warnings. "Every man who does not take at least eight hours of sleep out of every 24 hours is robbing himself of just that much vital energy. The men who in the future will live to be 100 years will take more than eight hours' sleep every day of their lives. Man cannot burn the candle at both ends, because na- ture will not permit him to do it." In speaking of the increased longevi- ty of mankind during the present day as compared with 25 years ago the ac- tuary of one of the largest and best known life insurance companies in the world said to me: "There can be no doubt that people live to a greater age now than was the case a quarter of a century ago. This is largely due to the discoveries of sci- ence and the better care which man takes of himself now than formerly. He surrounds himself with more com- forts, he has better food, and with the sanitary laws which are in existence, especially in the United States, there is good reason why men should attain greater age than formerly. "It is also a fact that there has been a great decrease in the rate of mor- tality among children during late years, due unquestionably to the ad- vanced medical knowledge in the treat- ment of diseases to which children are subject, such as diphtheria, measles, etc. Improved sanitary conditions are also one of the chief causes in the de- crease of the death rate among chil- dren." Farrow Gauge Roads Needed. Western farmers are calling for nar- row gauge • roads to reach markets with crops at all seasons. Diversities - tion of crops, they argue, will be pro- moted thereby. Mud is king for months in the west. Engineers are asked to advise; capitalists have been consulted. The farmers are full of hope, energy and determination to scale some diffi- culties that have been holding them down. Nineteen hundred will inau-' gurate a new era.—Philadelphia Press., Wonderful Operation. In May, 1890, one of the most re- markable surgical operations on rec- ord was performed by Dr. Lavelangue in the Children's hospital in Paris. It was the case of an idiot child. Its head had stopped growing since it was 4 years of age and was only one-third the normal size. Believing that the idiocy was due to compression of the brain, the doctor divided the skull longitudinally and kept the edges of the bones from uniting. Fresh de- posits of bone took place, and the skull gradually expanded to almost its prop- er size. Then the intellectual facul- ties, which had hitherto been those of an infant, grew stronger and stronger every day till at last the child was as sound and healthy as any other in France.—Exchange.

Germs and Low Vitality. Dr. Slavius says that some of the gastric and diarrheal troubles which prevail during the summer months may possibly be traced to a cause which is generally overlooked. Hotel and restaurant keepers, caterers, etc., buy fish, beef, mutton, poultry, etc., in large quantities, for the sake of convenience and economy, and store them in icehouses for future use. While the cold storage method may not ap- preciably injure the food value of meat within the first 24 to 48 hours, when kept, as it often is, for days, and even weeks or months, the fish softens, and cooking cannot render wholly in- nocuous the poisonous ptomaines gen- erated by slow decomposition or by the chemicals added as preservatives. It is astonishing how long this breed- ing ground for all manner of germs of fermentation and disease, which is of- ten produced by nasal catarrh, has re- mained unnoticed in this age of an- tiseptic philosophy, says Popular Sci- ence. The cleaning of the tongue should be recommended and practiced as a hygienic procedure. No doubt there is a constant stream of germs of all sorts carried into the stomach from this foul coating of the tongue, infect - Ing the alimentary canal as well as the blood. The most common cause of "bad breath" is the decomposition of this coating on the tongue. By thor- oughly scraping off all loose matter and disinfecting the surface the odor will be removed, provided the teeth have also been cleaned. The bad taste in the mouth experi- enced when waking in the morning, says Popular Science, is often due to the presence of germs, the products of which accumulate while the person is sleeping. When one is awake, the con- stant secretion keeps them cleared away. Better care of the teeth is nec- essary. If there are any decayed teeth, they should be attended to, and a toothbrush should be used freely and frequently,. especially at night. The proper use of drinking water and care as to diet are means that should be re- lied upon. In' dealing with germs in the body, however. one should always remember that they grow where there is low vitality. People who are all run down usually have a bad taste regard- less of how clean they keep the mouth or how careful they may be in diet, because germs always act where the tissues of the body are not able to drive them away and counteract their influence. This latter class of people will get rid of the bad taste when they improve the general health. Damaged a Pair of Eyes That Were Large and Bright. Through the brotherhood of affliction that comes from wearing glasses in one of their various forms a popular official of the Rapid Transit company told in conversation the other day of a curious reason why he wore prescrip- tion helps to eyesight. "It was because I was struck by lightning," he said. "It was when I was in wy teens. 1 sat between an opeu window and an open door and there was a flash. The last I can remember is a sense of having an envelope of light around me. I was picked up insensible and those who first saw me say that smoke Issued from my mouth and nose. All thought I was dead, but I slowly recovered and soon seemed to be as well as before the heavenly visitation. "The serious effects of the shock, however, developed in my eyes. Their largeness and brilliancy bad been often commended on by my friends, but these more or less desirable features had been destroyed by the electric fluid. The pupils and the irises con- tracted and I found a great difficulty in my vision. An expert oculist exam- ined the eyes and gave some scientific name to the difficulty. That's another story. I only know that I can see and am glad to be alive. "One effect remains, however, that is rather curious. Most people who have been struck by lightning are fearful of being struck again. Not so with me. I'm not nervous even in the height of an electrical store, but 1 confess I'm not anxious to sit in a room at such a time where there are two openings into the disturbance. That would be Invit- ing destruction."—Brooklyn Eagle. Fair Bargain. "Every man should learn to say 'no,' " she said, for she was a strong minded young woman and had well de- fined views on the temperance ques- tion. "Many a young man has been ruined because of his inability to say 'no: " "And every woman," he returned, "should learn to say 'yes.' Many a young than of excellent promise has been brought to that condition of mind where he is disinclined to say 'no' ow- ing to the disinclination of some girl to say 'yes.' Let 118, therefore, en- deavor to correct our own faults. Be- fore asking us to say `no' you should learn to say 'yes.' " After a few minutes given to the con- sideration of the question she confess- ed her ability to say "yes." It is just as well to bang on to a young man who is smart enough to make such fal- lacious arguments sound plausible.— Chicago Post. Paved With Human Skulls. At Gwandu, in Africa, which con- tains between 10,000 and 15,000 inhab- itants, the town, which is oval in shape, Is surrounded by a palisade of tree poles, the top of every pole being crowned with a human skull. There are six gates, and the approach to each gate is laid witb a pavement of human skulls, the tops being the only parts that show above ground. More than 2,000 skulls are used in the pavement leading up to each gate.

For my part I felt a little uncomfort- able, but Miss Phyllis was not in the slightest degree discomposed. There was another man there. and he glared at me a little, but I treated him with deserved contempt- After about ten minutes of desultory chatter he took himself off. Miss Phyllis watched the door close behind him, and then, suddenly turn- ing to me, she stretched out her hand and said: "My dear Gerald, how can 1 thank you?" I confess that 1 was considerably taken aback. "I think," continued Phyllis, without noticing my surprise, "that you are the most generous and forgiving per- son in the world." "I was afraid," said 1, "that you were offended with me, but you are not, are you, since you've asked me to come?" "Offended!" said Miss Phyllis. "My dear Gerald, whatever made you think that? You're a dear. See, I've got it on." I did see, and to my horror 1 realized for the first time that the glistening object which I had been admiring so much in Phyllis' chiffon vras the brooch I had ordered for Laure "That," I gasped, ' is a little me- mento of our—of my engagement!" "Yes," said Phyllis, smiling. "I con- sider myself really engaged now." "You don't mean to say," I stammer- ed, tammered, "that you"— "Oh, but 1 do!" she interrupted. "Really, really I dol" And her eyes sparkled. "There is a mistake somewhere," 1 explained confusedly. "I—that Is, you —I mean 1 am engaged." "Naturally," said Miss Phyllis, rais- ing her eyebrows. "We are both en- gaged—isn't it splendid?" "But," I managed to ejaculate at last, with more force than politeness. "I'm engaged to some one else, not to you." This speech, blunt and plain enough in its way, seemed to afford Phyllis in- finite amusement. She curled herself up more tightly in her chair and fairly quivered with suppressed merriment, "Don't you understand?" I explain- ed. "I am enga®sd to Miss Ainesly— Laura Ainesly, and—of nurse, I'm aw- fully sorry, bit that w sent you by mistake." Phyllis managed to subdue her laughter. - - "My dear Gerald, please don't look like that," she said, wiping the tears from her eyes with an absurd little pocket handkerchief. "You needn't look so woebegone, even if you did think I was going to accept you. I promise not to marry you. Can't you see? You went into Somerton's and or- dered this brooch and told them to send it direct to the lady's house. "It never seemed to have occurred to you to mention her name, and as they had made something for me at your or- der in ages past' they naturally con- cluded that this was for me, too, and sent it on by a messenger with your card. I knew it was a mistake, so I sent my maid down to inquire. It was not difficult to guess the truth." "Ohl" said I lamely. "There, here you are, you silly boy!" she said, holding out the brooch. "[tun away to Laura with it, and forgive me for playing a practical joke on you, but a you did look such a picture of dis- may!" "Won't you keep it, please?' said11 humbly. "I ought to pay a penalty for my stupidity." "It's awfully good of you, Gerald, and it's very pretty, but 1 don't know that I ought to. I've been engaged since Wednesday, you see, to Captain Mahon." "The very thing!" 1 cried, turning to the inscription on the back. "I was engaged on Wednesday, too; see, here's the date." Phyllis looked. "It does seem to St it nicely," she said. "May I really keep it?" "Please do," said I, "and if he says anything tell him it was a premature Christmas offering." I am glad the mistake happened aft- er all, for I am very fond of Phyllis., And—well, Captain Mahon, or what- ever his name is, is a very lucky man. —Home Chat �Ssil:slsblSe itSRlais9RSeitt� We have all, I suppose, in our lives made blunders—little blunders, big blunders, and so forth, till one reaches the pitch of irretrievable blunder— and I have just escaped from the con- sequences of one that for the moment was likely to prove irretrievable. I was—I had foolishly allowed my- self to be fascinated by Miss Stranger- ford—yes, fascinated is, I think, just the word to meet the case. Phyllis is a dear, quite a dear, and for a time I submit that I was totter- ing on the brink. I believe, as a mat- ter of fact, that I did propose once or twice, but of course I knew she'd say "no." She's so sensible. But, for one awful, terrible moment at the time I'm going to tell you about I thought she was going to forget herself and say "yes." You see, the truth is, one is a little bit afraid of Miss Strangerford. Ev- erything will seem to be going swim- mingly, and you think you're getting on quite well and being rather clever and all that, and then you look up and you see a something in her eyes which sobers you down again. It's in her eyes. Somewhere right at the back of them there's a kind of glistening twin- kle that makes you feel that you're a fool. Now, Laura is not like that. She is clever and knows all about books, music and Ibsen, and she hardly ever smiles. But Miss Strangerford just sits curled up in her chair and chatters about nothing in particular, and says funny things which make you laugh and dresses very smartly, and even times smokes ci arettes, and yet Forest Planting In the West. For many years Brest tree planting has been in progress in the west, with varying success, the failures being chiefly due to lack of knowledge re- garding the most desirable species to grow in a given locality and the lack of personal supervision by a competent tree planter in setting out and caring for the trees. In many cases the farm- er relied on what he supposed to be correct information from articles in the western press, reports of western horticultural societies, boards of agri- culture, etc., but in most cases the statements were made on untried theo- ries or upon experience too brief to warrant the deductions made. Now the division of forestry of the United States department of agriculture pro- poses to remedy all this by personal assistance to the farmers and others. Upon application an agent of the de- partment is sent to make plans, select trees and personally superintend the work. For furnishing fuel, fencing, shelter belts and wind breaks, as well as ornament, this tree planting cannot fail of being of great benefit. The methods are based on extended series of experiments. Divining Rod and Water Supply. In his recent address to the Geolog- ical society of London President Whit- aker stated that there is a certain charm in questions relating to under- ground waters that is wanting in the more prosaic subject of surface wa- ters, for besides the element of chance, usually so delightful to frail humanity, the perhaps still more delightful ele- ment of superstition also comes in, and of late the divining rod has been much in evidence. Among the believers in the forked twig there are many edu- cated persons, clergymen, peers, squires, etc. In a trade circular a well known firm states that it is prepared to send an experienced diviner to lo- cate water by the aid of the rod, and the president points out that It is con- soling to be told, a little further on, that, although the diviner may be ad- vantageously employed to discovering springs at a moderate depth, his serv- ices can never replace, for deeper and more important supplies, the carefully considered report of the hydrogeolo- gist." some g directly one begins to talk about deeper subjects she stays quite quiet and keeps that funny look In her eyes, for all the world as if she was laughing at you to herself. Last summer, down on the river, we got on awfully well at first. It was later on that 1 came to the conclusion that it would be a mistake to carry matters further, and as she had just— well, not exactly refused, but put me off for the second time, I thought it better to let the matter drop. Th I met Laura. Iaura adores mus c halls. She says that she thinks the c or scheme of the ballet most in- structive and has come to the conclu- sion that it is unconsciously based on the primitive principles of color music. I am sure she's right. I like them my- self. I saw a good deal of her after that dinner, and last week we practically became engaged. Naturally I wanted to give her some Aouvenir to commem- orate the day—not the ordinary, vulgar ring, but something with latent mean- ing in it. Laura is great on latent meanings, so I knew she would appre- ciate it. On the morning after the engagement I went to Somerton, the jeweler's, and explained what I wanted. Dickson, theft head man, spotted the idea at once. "You want something with a pretty sentiment in it—something original." I couldn't think of anything my- self, but he showed me a design which he declared would be just the thing. It was a sort of brooch, with two hearts—one a ruby and one a diamond. The ruby was supposed to be mine, be- cause Dickson explained that it signi- fied passion and devotion. The two big stones were bound together with a true lover's knot in diamonds—a copy of an old pattern, be assured me, and very pretty It looked.- I gave him my card to slip into the box when it was sent home. "What inscription, sir?" he asked as I was leaving the shop. Of course, directly he asked me that I was stuck. So I just told him to put to the usual sort of thing and to send it to the young lady at once, together with my card. Two days later among my moi?ning's letters I received a note fro Miss Strangerford asking n16 tog to tea. 1 had intended going to see Laura, but on getting a telegram to put me oil,11 cided to • go and see Phyllis. I was shown into her boudoir and found her, as usual, curled up in an armchair, smoking a cigarette. It struck me that she was looking ex- tremely pretty, and for one fleeting second I almost wished—that Laura smoked. Also, if Laura has a fault—which, mind you, I am not prepared to admit —still, if she has a fault, it is that she has quaint ideas on the subject of hair - awaited with eager apticipation.—New , dressing.

Several vessels of the United States coast survey are being fitted out with special forms of observing and record- ing apparatus for the purpose of de- termining accurately the deviation of the compass at sea. The great value of this kind of work_ that bas been ac- complished by the survey on land lends particular interest to this latest under- taking, and as several recent marine disasters have been attributed to pre- viously unsuspected magnetic varia- tion the results to be obtained will be -1 k:. 4 Killed by a Misprint.

IRVINO TODD & SON. SATURDAY, OCT. 21st, 1899. The Bankruptcy Act. The it. Paul Review refers to the report of the referee in bankruptcy for the second judicial district as follows: The report iu question shows that the total assets scheduled by oue hundred and seven bankrupts amount approxi- mately to $25,000 and their liabilities to $1,200,000. Thus far creditors of these various estates have received about $25,000, four-tifths of which was paid by one administration. This sort of figuring leaves about $5,000 as the net funds shown in one hundred and sixty cases to have been divided among creditors whose claims exceed a million dollars. When the referee himself declares that this con- dition of things is deplorable, he speaks with unanswerable force regarding the 'iniquity of the act. A sample case. occurred in this judicial district last month in which the net assets were $192.12, the liabilities $118,103.50, and the divi- dend to creditors $27.82. No wonder there is a general demand throughout the country for its repeal. The St. Paul Pioneer Press gives the soap away in the following truth- ful paragraph: Jobbers and retail merchants say that celebration visitors bought heavily in St. Paul. Of course they slid. That's what the demonstrations in the Twin Cities were for, a purely business enterprise with alycry thin veil of patriotism to serve as sugar coating. The public examiner has sent out circulars calling the attention of coun- ty auditors and chairmen of the board to unauthorized payments to school districts in excess of their special and one mill tax levies, the unproper use of road and school funds, and the irregular allowance of sheriff's bills for services and board of prisoners. One of the foolish laws passed last Winter provides that men who work in the pineries must be paid every two weeks in cash. This will make considerable extra expense for the employers, while not one man in a hundred wants to he bothered with the care of his money until he comes out in the spring. The recent sharp advance in flax seed is said to be caused by a corner backed by the American Linseed Oil Company, the trust having secured nearly all of the avayable supply in the market. The price in Chicago on Thursday was$1.32A-, and it may go still higher. This is far above an export basis. The Pillsbuoy-Washburn Company have bought the old paper mill site in Minneapolis, upon which they will build an additional flouring mill of about five thousand barrel capacity. The spot is historic, the first mill in the ' northwest having been located there by the governlnent troops in 1822. Mayor Kiefer, of St. Paul, thanks the Commercial Club in a public letter for the successful receptions to the Thirteenth Regiment and President McKinley. Now the club should thank the may -or in a similar manner; honors will then be easy and Minne- apolis scores the odd trick. President McKinley furnished a number of political texts for the en- suing campaign during his recent trip through the northwest, his speeches comparing favorably with those of ex -President Harrison eight or ten years ago, which were models of rear platform oratory. The state grain inspection bureau is loaded down with incompetent of- ficials, and will either have to dis- charge some of the force or raise the price of inspection. Of course the men will stay, and their salaries will be paid by the farmers when they sell their wheat. Anton Schmidt, a Hennepin Coun- ty fanner, has secured a judgment of $5,000 against the Great Northern Road for injuries received while crossing the tracks at Osseo some time ago with his wife in a buggy. The case was tried in Anoka. When the public examiner has noth- ing in particular on his hands be might investigate the affairs of the Mankato Library Association, to ascertain whether any one else has been holding up money belonging to that organization. The state labor bureau reports that there are ninety-eight flouring mills in Minnesea, employing twenty-eight hundred and sixty-one men, and one hundred and sixty-eight elevators, employing nine hundred and eighty- nine men. The state high school board has determined to use an unexpended .-balance of $17,000 in taking up certificates of indebtedness recently issued to rural schools in excess of the $20,000 appropriation. The Rev. E. M. Duff, late of this city, has a new book in press entitled The American Priest at Work, which will be ready early in November. Among the contributors are Arch- deacon Webber, of Madison, the Rev. H. P. Nichols, of New York, and Hector Baxter, of Minneapolis. Price $1. Minnesota Journallsm. C. W. Brown has assumed an in tetest in The Janesville Argus. B. F. Langworthy retires from The Spring Valley Mercury after twenty years of active service, and is suc- ceeded by his son, F. E. Langworthy. ) If some enterprising genius would rig up a gasoline engine and circular saw upon a wagon bed and start in sawing wood he could easily pay for his plant in a couple of months. It is almost impossible to hire a man or boy in town to cut a single cord. James King, formerly chief of police at St. Paul, has been employed by the state grain department to look after the thieves in the railroad yards at Minneapolis. The shortages are a great annoyance to shippers and consignees. Fred Macbeth, ah employe of Tom- linson, Stafford, & Co., in South St. Paul, was shot in the leg at Mankato Tuesday night by Alois Getzell, who supposed he was going to be held up. The wound may prove fatal. F. E. Babcock, a farmer living near Redwood Falls, shot' his wife, three sons, and then himself on Wednesday, in a fit of insanity. They removed there from Blue Earth County about a year ago. At the rate the Commercial Club is taking in new members the roll will soon include every active business man in St. Paul. That's all right. It is one of the best institutions in the capitol city. The locomotive in the Windom wreck on the Omaha Iload last month is said to have been in service thirty years, having caused the death of about' forty men. It must be a hoodoo. Those who paid one-half of their real estate taxes last May must pay the other half on or before the 31st inst. to escape the ten per cent pen- alty. Call early and avoid the rush. The reason assigned for the irregu- larity of trains on the river division during the past ten days is the pressnre of business. A double track between Minneapolis and Chicago is badly needed. A. E. Engstrom, superintendent of schools in Goodhue County and one of the best known educators in the state, died at Cannon Falls on the 12th inst., aged forty-eight years. The Soo Road has secured a strip of land along Second Street north in Minnneapolis for a freight terminal, subject to vacation of a number of streets by the city council. Two of the railroad commissioners were mixed up in a wreck near Grace- ville, on the Great Northern Road, last Tuesday, giving them a practical experience in railroading. A practical manner of showing appreciation of the Thirteenth Regi- ment is to secure employment for its late members. The boys can't live all winter on glory. A formal celebration of the return of Company G was held in Red Wing Tuesday, at which Gov. John Lind, the Thirteenth Regiment Band, and three neighboring- militia companies were in attendance. Cass Gilbert, of white marble capi- tol notoriety, has removed to New York to superintend the erection of the new three million dollar custom house in that city. The regents of the state university have receded from their rule requir- ing graduates of high schools to pass examination prior to admission into that institution. The privates of the Thirteenth Regiment have but little time for some of their officers, openly brand- ing them as shirks and cowards, or even worse. Fifty young colored women have been brought to Minneapolis from the south to act as domestic servants. They will undoubtedly fill a long felt want. If the Portland Stone Tompany ever expect to make good the many defective cement tiles in this city, it is high time they were at it. Two harvest hands from North Dakota were found dead in their room at Duluth Wednesday morning, having blown out the gas. The prices of meat have declined one to two cents in the cities, by reason of recent large shipments. Mrs. J. 11. Lewis, of this city, was elected vice president for the third district at the state federation of woman's clubs in St. Cloud. W. D. Mauro, a Minneapolis insur- ance agent, committed suicide on Wednesday by jumping from a bridge into the river. The Right Rev. H. B. Whipple celebrated the completion of his forty years iu the episcopate at St. Paul on the 13th inst. The postmaster general has issued the usual warning to post -office employes in relation to political as- sessments. Tho new independent telephone company commenced business in Min- neapolis on Monday. The state board of corrections' and charities has designated Oct. 29th as Prison Sunday. These recent changes of over forty degrees in a night are a little tough on humans. The union iron molders of St. Paul have struck for higher wages. John Arendt and Mrs. Maria Engel, who have seen seventy and sixty-two years, respectively, pass away, yester- day embarked for the second time in life together upon the sea of matri- mony. The old gentleman was some- what deaf, and in consequence the bride did the talking for the couple when the license was obtained from deputy clerk W. J. Bazille. j'hen the old people journeyed over tJus- tice Johnson's office, where they were united in the matrimonial yoke. It appears that they had been married before, and that several years ago Mrs. Arendt obtained a divorce. She remarried, and was recently divorced from her second husband. Then her mind turned to her former spouse in his loneliness, and the marriage yesterday was the result. After the ceremony the newly married couple left for the groom's farm •near Hast- ings, where they will make their fu- ture home.—St. Paul Globe, 17th. At six o'clock this evening the Rev. Edgar W. Day will say the words that will unite Ir'a Eddy and Miss Grace E. Scott in the holy bonds of matrimony. The ceremony will occur at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. McKim. The groom is one of Farge's most respected young busi- ness men. He has grown to man- hood here, and is favorably known to every resident of the city. The bride is a sister of Mrs. McKim and W. A. Scott, and for a year or two was Mrs. Green's right hand bower in the stationery store. She is a popular young lady with a large circle of acquaintances. Mr. and Mrs. Eddy will go to housekeeping at once in . a handsome new residence Mr. Eddy has just completed and furnishes on Fifth Avenue South.— Fargo Forum, 1811i.

Bishop Whipple in his sermon at the Cathedral on Sunday morning, made a brief allusion to the beginning of his work as bishop forty years ago, when the church had but five hun- dred communicants scattered over an area of one thousand miles,- and but two rough chapels, two other rude buildings, and a little parish school. —Faribault Republican. John Derby, jr., and Miss Elsie Paul were married last Saturday at Elbow Lake by the Rev.

Some fifteen years ago she was married to Clarence D. Chat- terton, for many years gate tender at the Union Depot, St. Paul, and has since that tithe lived at Newport. She was of a kind and lovable dispo- sition, and highly esteemed by all her associates, her sudden death being a severe shock to her many friends.

William Dalton, of Cannon Falls. The church had been hand- somely decorated by the ladies with the various grains and fruits, and the services were well attended. Foot Ball. The game between the Mechanic Arts and Hastings at the fair grounds Friday afternoon was decidedly inter- esting, and witnessed by a fair sized crowd of spectators. The score was 0 to 0, the teams being so evenly matched that neither were able to gain a point, although some good and snappy plays were made. Our boys were warmly congratulated for holding down the St. Paulites in this clever manner. The girls of the high school gave a pleasant re- ception to the team and their St. Paul visitors at the Bryant School in the evening.

Only one hundred miles southeast of the fertile grain fields of Eastern Wash- ington, between the Clearwater and Sal- mon rivers, lies what was long known as the Nez Perces Indian country, only recently thrown open to settlement and mining. Since the early sixties, when $38,000,000 was washed out of the rich placers of the Clearwater and Salmon rivers, it has been a tradition among miners that some day great gold discover- ies would be made in the Nez Perces country. The enormous cost of transpor- tation, remoteness from civilization, and consequent impossibility of carrying on large mining operations left the rich quartz ledges—the mother lodes of the placers—untouched. Almost simultane- ously with the completion of the North- prn Pacific's Lewiston extension from Spokane came the announcement of the discovery in the Buffalo Hump range of immense ledges of gold 'besting quartz which, cropping out, above the surface, and twenty feet or more in width, extend in different directions for many miles. The rapid extension of the Clearwater Line of the Northern Pacific, now build- ing along that river from Lewiston, will soon throw this heretofore almost inac- cessible country open to capital, and modern machinery with American grit will do the rest. For fuller information and a new map of this region send a two cent stamp to Chas. S. Fee, St. Paul, Minn., or address any general or district passenger agent of the Northern Pacific Rail way.

The children can't help it, it's natural, but it is hard on the parent's pocket book. For those parents that don't want to buy a new pair every three weeks, we ha 'e designed a new line of shoes, made of soft leather, and a kind that will stand all kinds of hard knocks, keep out the wet, and at the same time has a stylish appearance. They cost a trifle more than the ordinary kind, but in the end you will find they are the cheapest shoes you ever bought.

South Africa; The Murthly Magazine, from the Perth County asylum; Linder the Dome, the organ of Bethlehem Royal hospital, London, and The Conglomer- ate, which belongs to the Middletown asylum, New York. These magazines touch the journal- istic ideal, as, being written by the eeaders for their amusement, they can- not fail to hit the popular taste. We find that those mentally deranged like about four -ninths of their reading to take the form of travel and heavy prose articles of a strictly theoretical nature. The rest of the contents comes in order of quantity as follows: Hu- mor, local notes, poetry, chiefly in a light vein; special articles on local the- atricals and fiction. The most striking feature about these journals is the almost total ab- sence of gloom and melancholia, and we have it on the word of the doctor of one of the leading asylums that this is not owing to such contributions be- ing tabooed. But now and again one comes on a poem or tale drenched with •melancbolla and morbid insanity.' In one of these journals appeared a story written in the first person about a hero —undoubtedly the writer—who had his head twisted round the wrong way. The consequence was he invariably had to walk in the opposite direction to which he wanted to walk. This ter- rible fate haunts him right through the story, causing him to lose friends, money and everything else 'which man holds dear and ends up by his, in his own mind, murdering the girl who was to save him from himself. According to the story, the heroine was standing on the edge of a great precipice. The hero is Standing near. Suddenly the heroine becomes giddy and totters on the brink. The hero tries to dash forward and save her, but of course runs the other way. Here comes a break in the narrative, which is finished by the following sentence: "And the gates of an asylum for those mentally deranged shut the writer off from his friends in the outer world." Apart from such tragedies as the above, the whole of these journals are saturated with humor. In one we find the following among "Questions We Want Answered:" "When does the queen of Sheba in- tend to recognize the royal rank of the 'Prince of Wales?' Did 'Marie Corelli' really tweak the doctor's nose? Why did ,'Ranji throw the ball at 'W. G.'s' head during practice at the nets?" Per- haps it should be explained that the celebrities referred to above are not those nown to the public, but other person who claim their personalities and ar detained in the asylums for that ver reason. A write in The Fort England Mirror gives the following reason for his de- tention: "I met a young widow with a grown stepdaughter, and the widow married me. Then my father, who was a widower, met my stepdaughter and married her. That made my wife the mother-in-law of her father-in-law and made my stepdaughter my mother and my father my stepson. Then my step- mother, the stepdaughter of my wife, had a son. That boy was, of course, my brother, because he was my fa- ther's son. He was also the son of my wife's stepdaughter and therefore her grandson. That made me grandfather to my stepbrother. Then my wife had a son. My mother-in-law, the step- sister of my son, is also his grandmoth- er, because he is her stepson's child.

The young lady informed the house- keeper that she wished the piano to be put in a room where it would "sound well," as she bad composed a piece of music in honor of the poet's birthday and meant to play it to him on her own instrument. Longfellow was a great lover of mu- sic, and Wagner apiiealed to him strongly. We heard several operas to- gether in Boston after my engagement there. He generally arrived before ns, armed with Sowers and full of delight- ful anticipations. On one of these occa- sions some one sent a magnificent bou- quet to our box. Not knowing the do- nor, I did not take it up. He insisted on my doing so. "Put down my simple ones," he said, "and take up these beautiful flowers. It will gratify the giver, who is no doubt in the house. Try never to miss an opportunity of giving pleasure. It will make you happier and better." Kindness was the keynote of his character. No inconvenience to him- self was too great, if a good turn to any one was at the end of it. AMERICA'S FIRST .GEORGE. How He Tried to Run Away Front His Admirers. Washington was not churlish, but he had ,that preference for being unob- served that develops at times into a longing in a man whose life is spent in public. He quitted the Macomb house on the morning of Aug. 30, 1790. The servants were instructed to steal away at dawn, to have the carriages and lug- gage over the ferry at Paulus Hook by sunrise. By candlelight, Mrs. Wash- ington, the children and the secretaries assembled in the morning room. The president entered, pleased with his 'stratagem. He was enjoying in prospect his concealed departure. Im- mediately under the window suddenly struck up on the still morning air the blaring, vigorous notes of an artillery band. From the highways and byways scurrying people appeared. To witness his first step outside the door a thou- sand goggling, affectionate eyes watch- ed. "Therer' cried the general, in half comic despair—I cannot think altogeth- er displeased. "It's ail- over; we aro found out Well, well! They must have their own way." It was the "general" they waited to see, not the president. They lined the roadway from house to barge, record- ing every movement in obsvat brains. (A distinguished man can nev- er know which of his audience is to be his biographer. It may be one of the "supers" on the stage rolling off the carpets.) The thunder of artillery could not drown the living shout that rose from the throats of the people as Washington was borne off with the rise and fall of the oars gleaming lu the cheerful sun. His voice trembled as he bade the assembled crowd fare- well. Though chary of appealing to It, the love of the people never failed to move him deeply.—Harper's Magazine. A Bankers Generosity, In a chapter of reminiscences of Von Bunsen and his friends, in The Cen- tury, the Hon. John Bigelow tells this anecdote of Humboldt: One day he was dining with Men- delssohn, the banker, and, an unusual thing for him, was very silent. His host, remarking it, observed to Hum- boldt that he was sure he must be ill. "No," said Humboldt, "but I am in great trouble. Only ten minutes before leaving my apartment' to come here I received from my landlord a note in- forming me that he had sold the house in which I reside and that I must come its possessor is that you continue long as possible.

IGround Seas on the English Cons Whiwh Wreck Vessels on Cal Davo-These Swells Strike With Force df a Ton to the Square Inch Many visitors to the coast are sore puzzled when a boatman either refus to puoff from the shore -or at mo go tar from land, on a day when the is no sign of an approaching stor and the water is only moved by a ion and gentle rolling swell. Argument is of no avail, and If t old salt is pushed for a reason he w only reply with some cryptogramic mark about "the ground sea,"- t questioner then retiring more bewi dered than before. It is hard to hnderstand how such gentle swell can presage danger, b to experienced eyes it gives a warnin that must be heeded. All along th west and parts of the south coasts England and Ireland, as well as th west coast of Scotland, unconnt tales are told of ships which on a pe fectly calm day have been within few hours first caught by a gentle ro of the water and finally thrown on rockbound shore by the dread "ground sea." To undetstand this curious marin phenomenon it must be borne in min that out on the Atlantic waves are o ten formed to a heigh of 40 feet. Driv en before a heavy gale, these advanc at a rate of from 30 to 40 miles a hour. Traveling at such a rate, th soon get out of the wind swep area. But even though, for them, th storm is past they still roll on in fury their undulations often being felt miles from the point of their creation. In the region of the storm thes waves are fierce, breaking billows, b as they get farther away they set down into long, rolling ridges, whic travel onward in long, unbroken lines perfectly parallel with each other. Out on the open sea these ridges of ten stretch out for a distance of ove 80 miles, and they travel in threes each successive wave being large than its predecessor. The sight is a imposing one. The farther they progress the small er they become in height; but this i compensated for by the fact that thei motion is communicated to the mass o water below, until the roll can be d tected fully 50 feet under the surface This gives them the name of "group sea." In this peculiarity their danger lie or when a becalmed ship's caught i them, her draft, the resisting powe that enables her to ride out a storm becomes the fulcrum which the liquid mass uses to hurl her onward to de- struction. On a calm day any sailing craft caught in the "ground sea" near a rocky shore.is as good as lost, unless a wind can spring up and enable her to beat out to sea. Many a ship bas met this fate. The reason many more do not get lost is due to the gentle swell that so deceives a landsman and warns sailor. As the "ground sea" advances it ashes a certain amount of water be - ore it. This also forms into ridges, like its pursuer, but of less height and pproximately no depth. The "false sea," as it is called, is Tit- le more than a rolling swell, but It ves a warning of from 20 minutes to wo hours' duration, enabling a ship to either run into port, get out to sea r securely anchor; while at the sea- ide resorts the boatmen run close in bore to the surprise of the "trippers." When it is remembered that a wave feet high, which is often attained by e "ground sea," strikes with a force one ton to the square inch, the ne- esaity for caution will be recognized. All waves that come in parallel idges, however, are not dangerous, as ere is a "wind billow" that is olosely allied to the "ground sea" in appear- ance. "Wind billows" are due to a heavy wind blowing but a few miles off the nd, but as they have had but a com- aratively short distance to travel they ave no depth. Consequently even a owing boat is perfectly safe on them properly handled. These waves usually appear when ere is a comparative calm near the hore,, their great point of difference om the "ground sea," 1n appearance Ing that their unbroken. lines are earer and are all equidistant, not vellng in threes. Generally the "wind billow" does not reek into foam, but occasionally this appens when they are coming in gainst the tide. Then it is hard to de- ect them from ordinary waves, the oduct of a local windstorm. These ways break into foam at their crest, e "white horses" of the marine poet. Remembering these peculiarities of e various waves will save tourists nsiderable disappointment when wis- heads bid them keep to the land, r, to them, no apparent reason, while may keep them from rushing into known dangers. One other fact is Iso worthy of mention, as it may ove of advantage should a boat drift t to sea with an inexperienced crew d no compass aboard. Then, if a "ground sea" is "running," t your mind at ease, for you can eer by it, as, on the English and sh coasts at least, it always comes om the northwest.—Peareon's Maga- ne.

He Spins a Yarn About a Wonderful Reeovery oils Shipboard. A little group had been spinning yarns in the rotunda of the Walton for an hour or more when a bronze visaged, middle aged man joined the party. Several of the group recognized him as the captain of one of the big tramp steamers which ply betweeu Philadelphia and foreign ports, and a place in the circle was at once trade for him. "We've been killing time telling sto- ries," some one explained. "Suppose you turn in your contribution!' The captain thought a moment and then smiled. "I was#thinking of something that happened ,on my last voyage," he final- ly said. "We bad on board as a cook a big colored telf5w, whose principal companion was a little yellow cur dog. One day while the cook was preparing some beef for dinner he let the heavy cleaver with which he was doing the chopping slip from his grasp. "It fell to the floor with a thud, and the cook emitted a howl of anguish that was heard all ovyr the ship. The cleaver bad struck one of his bare feet and sliced the big toe obi as neatly as a surgeon could have done it. Here was a chance for the yellow dog. and he seized it. Making a dive for the severed toe, he swallowed it in one gulp and then made a bee line, for the deck. "This was more than the cook, craz- ed with pain, could stand, and he hurl- ed the cleaver at the dog. His aim proved true, and his curship passed out of existence then and there. At this juncture the ship's doctor came up to find out what all the row was about When he learned the truth, he laughed. "'I'11 fix that for you,' he exclaimed to the cook, 'wait till i get my instru- ment case.' "Within five minutes he had held a post mortem on the dog and recovered the lost toe. Washing it with antisep• tics, he skillfully- stitched it hack in place again, and the cook hobbled back to his quarters minus his dog, but with as many toes as he had ever had. That's about the only story 1 recall ust now, gentlemen. It has the merit of being true, however, and if yon don't believe it come down to the ship any time and I'll show you the cleaver. The cook has quit the sea, and I don't know his present address."—Philadel- phia Inquirer. HAYDN AND THE LADIES. Wonderful Bupeei•HM1tta of the Great Composer. When Haydn came to England, he succumbed, says the writer of an arti- cle on "Music and Matrimony" in the Cornhill Magazine, to the charms of a certain Mrs. Shaw, who figures in his diary as the most beautiful woman he had ever met. As a matter of fact, Haydn was always meeting the "most beautiful" woman. "The loveliest woman 1 ever saw" was at one time a Mrs. Hodges, while at another time the widow of a musi- cian named _ Schroeter so fascinated him that he kept her letters for many years and declared that if it were not for the existence of Anna Maria he would have married her. Certainly Mrs. Schroeter's letters were pleasant enough. "Every moment of your com- pany," she wrote from Buckingham Gate in 1792, "is more and more pre- cious to me now that your departureis so near. I feel for you the fondest and tenderest affection the human heart is capable of. I ever am, with the most inviolable attachment, my dearest and most beloved Haydn, .most faithfully and most affectionately yours." What would the absent Frau Doc- torin Haydn have said had she known of it? The composer also got mixed up in a little affair with the beautiful Mrs. Billington. Sir Joshua Reynolds was painting her portrait for him and had represented her as St. Cecilia listen- ing to celestial music. "What do you think of the charming BIllington's pic- ture?" said the artist to Haydn when the work was finished. "It is indeed a beautiful picture," replied Haydn. "It is just like her, but there is a strange mistake. You have painted her listening to the angels when you ought to have painted the angels listening to her." If Haydn paid compliments like this an round, -'we can easily understand how he attained such fame as a Lon- don society man. Not Very Polite. John Clerk, afterward known as Lord Eldin, was limping down the High street of Edinburgh one day when he heard a young lady remark to her companion, "That is the famous John Clerk, the lame lawyer." He turned round and said, with his "not unwonted coarseness:" "Yon lie. ma'am! I am a lame man, but not a lame lawyer." Lord Justice Braxfleld, too, appears to have failed in courtesy to the fair sex, tor, when told that a brother judge would not sit that day, on ac- count of having just lost his wife, he, who was fitted with a Xantippe, re- plied: "Has he? That is a gud'd excuse indeed. I wish we had a' the same." A Thoughtful Hasbaad. "You asked me to bring you some pin money this morning," said the young husband. "Yes," she replied, with an air of ex- pectancy. "Well," said he, "1 thought 1 might as well gave you a trip down town, so I brought you a paper of pins instead." —Chicago News. The average walking pace of a healthy man or woman is said to be 75 7teps a minute. - TV SECRET OF BRIGHT COLORS. An Englishman Pays Dearly For a Sunshine Trick. In speaking to the writer about the favorable influence that fine weather has upon the production of bright and delicately shaded dyes and colors, a famous English manufacturer of carmine recently said: "Some years ago I was aware of the superiority of the French carmine, and, being anxious to improve upon my own process, I went to Lyons and bargained with the most celebrated manufacturer in that city for the acquisition of his secret, for which I was to pay $5,000. "Well, I was shown all the process and saw a most beautiful color pro- duced, but I noticed that there was not the least difference in the French mode of fabrication and that which I con- stantly adopted myself. I thereupon appealed to my instructor and insist- ed that he must have kept some secret concealed. The man assured me he had not and asked me to inspect the proc- ess a second time. I accepted the in- vitation, and after 1. had minutely ex- amined the water and the materials, which were in every respect similar to my own, I still felt so much in the dark that I said, 'I have lost both my labor and money, for the air of England does not admit us to make good carmine.' " `Stay!' said the Frenchman. 'Don't deceive yourself. What kind of weather is it now?' "'A bright and sunny day,' 1 replied. "'And such are the days,' said the Frenchman, 'on which I make my col- or. Were I to attempt to manufacture it on a dark and cloudy day my results would be the same as yours. Let me advise you, my friend, only to make your carmine on bright, sunny days.' "The moral of this," continued the Englishman, "will apply quite as well to the making of many other colors used in manufactures, and also in the fine arts, for it illustrates in a practical way the chemical influence of light upon certain coloring compounds on mixtures."—Washington Star. A PECULIAR SPIDER. He Catches Birds as Big as Larks In His Mammoth Web. Far up in the mountains of Ceylon there is a spider that spins a web like bright yellowish silk, the central net of which is five feet in diameter, while the supporting lines, or guys, as they are called, measure sometimes 10 or 12 feet, and, riding quickly in the early morning, you may dash right into 1t, the stout threads twining round your face like a lace veli, while, as the creature who has woven it takes up his position in the middle, he generally catches you right in the nose, and, though be seldom bites or stings, the contact of his large body and long legs is anything but pleasant. If you forget yourself and try to catch him, bite he will, and, though not venomous, his jaws are as powerful as a bird's beak, and you are not likely to forget the en- counter. The bodies of these spiders are very handsomely decorated, being bright gold or scarlet underneath, while the upper part is covered with the most delicate slate colored fur. So strong are the webs that birds the size of larks are frequently caught therein, and even the small but powerful scaly lizard falls a victim. A writer says that he has often sat and watched the yel- low monster—measuring, vlhen waiting -for his prey, with his legs stretched out,, fully six inches—striding across the middle of the net and noted the rapid manner in which be winds his stout threads round the unfortunate captive. He usually throws the coils about the head until the wretched victim is first blinded and then choked. In many unfrequentedark nooks of the jungle you come aero most perfect skeletons of small birds caught in these terrible snares.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Slightly Absentminded. "Does your husband ever help you about taking care of the baby?" was asked the wife of a young professor in a neighboring city. "Not often, ,though sometimes he does. Last evening he said he'd take Willie for an airing as he was going to walk down to the postrofflce. Half an hour later I saw my husband sit- ting in the parlor reading a scientific magazine, but I could see nothing of the baby. "'Where's Willie? What have you done with him?' I asked. "'Why,' said the professor, 'I forgot all about him. I think he is sitting in the postof$ce.' "—Detroit Free Press. Lots of 'phew Socialists. "No, my child, you cannot marry Ravenswood Plunks."

God did not makeher very wise, But carved a strangen,ss round her mouth; Ha put her great sorrow in her eyes And softness for men's souls in drouth, And on her face, for all to see, The seal of awful tragedy. God did not make her very fair, But white and lithe and strange and sweet A subtle fragrance in her hair, A slender swiftness in her feet, And in her hands a Blow caress, God made these for my ,teadfastnese. God did not give to her a heart, But there is that within her face To make men long to muse apart Until they goodness find and grace, And think to read and worship there All good, yet she to scarcely fair. —A.

Lee Wentling, a great traveler and musican, tells the following interesting story: "It was while visiting the house of a nobleman in ilhgland that I first heard the story of the birth of 'The Lost Chord,' a song that has been sung in every quarter of the globe and which will live forever. If ever there was such a thing as inspiration, that song was inspired. "There are very few Englishmen who do not remember Fred Sullivan, the great comic star and brother of Sir Arthur Sullivan. He played in all the original Gilbert and Sullivan operas and has never been equaled. He was later followed by George Grossmith. "One day Sir Arthur Sullivan was notified that his brother Fred was very 111. He made every effort to reach the house where his brother was lying at the point of death, but arrived too late to see him alive. The two brothers were devoted to each other, and the blow was a bitter one for Sir Arthur. He was closeted with the body of his brother for two bouts, at the expira- tion of which time he came down stairs and went to the piano. Throw- ing the instrument open, he began to play, and, bar by bar, 'The Lost Chord' was evolved. The composer sadly put his new composition on paper and stored it away. "The song is the wail of a throbbing heart, the grief of desolation. All through its beautiful harmony can be heard the strain of grief. So profound an impression did the association of the song with the death of his brother make on Sir Arthur that be is said to have, even at this late day, an aversion to hearing it performed."—Baltimore News. Gave Hs: a Bcoghtg $sari, - -- Mme. Antoinette Sterling, the con- tralto singer and evangelist, had an ex- perience in the Bombay presidency, India, which is as quaint as any of Kipling's tales of the hills. She was campaigning with Pundita Ramabal, and through her magnificent voice was drawing thousands of natives to her meetings. They had never seen that kind of a missionary before and had never heard a voice like hers. They were so pleased with her work that they said to themselves: "This is a foreign woman guru, and for fear of giving offense to us she has omitted to put her begging bowl out- side of her door for us to put in the customary contributions." In India every guru, or holy person, carries a brass, wood or clay begging bowl, into which the devout put some small sum of money. Mme. Sterling walked out upon the veranda of her bungalow one morning, and there, to her "amazement, found two begging bowls—one, a little one, with a few an- nus in it, intended for the pundita and one, an enormous affair, containing a handsome sum of annas and rupees for herself. The only explanation she could ever extract from the servant was this: "Little bowl, little money for the little pundits with little voice; big bowl, big money for big missahib with big voice."—Saturday Evening Post. A Quaint English Ceremony. On the last day of each October the city solicitor of London, with an as- sistant, attends upon the royal remem- brancer, when, by proclamation, "the tenants and occupiers of a piece of waste ground called the moors, in the county of Salop," are commanded to "come forth and do your service upon pain and peril thdt shall fan thereon." The solicitor chops In halves two fag- ots, one with a hatchet and the other with a billhook. Afterward comes the summons to the tenants, etc., of "a cer- tain tenement with a forge" in the Strand and the payment of six horse- shoes, with In shoe nails, by the so- licitor. This forge has long ceased to be, and the same shoes and nails are used year after year, the shoes being at least two centuries old. Memory. If It should be asked what possession I most valued, I would say some beau- tiful memory. Memory is possession. It is the only thing on earth that is ab- solutely ours, which no one can take from us. We can produce and enjoy it in a crowd of uncongenial people as easily as if we were alone. No noise can drown its voice; no distance can dim its clearness. Strength, hope, beauty, everything else, may pass. Memory will stay. stretching to Rest. When a man is tired, he stretches his arms and legs and yawns. Birds and animals, so far as possible, follow his example. girds spread their feathers and also yawn; they open their mouths slowly till they are round, the bones of the head seem to loosen and the gills open.

There Is a sure Way if You Wen Only Make Yourself Think So. "The usual way people set about stopping worry is a wrong one," writes Mary Boardman Page in The Ladies' Home Journal "That is why it is so unsuccessful. lI a doctor tells a patient he must stop worrying, the patient is likely to/ say impatiently : 'Oh, doctor, don't I wish that I could! But I can't. If I could have stopped worrying a year ago, I would not be ill now 1' All of which is probably perfectly true. And the doctor does not always know how to help him, because both doctor and patient have an idea that it is possible to re. worry through an effort of ' = .I This is a mistake. It is not possible to repress worry. You have got to replace it with something else. "Let me illustrate this by a figure. Suppose you were to go into a com- pletely dark .room, wishing it to be light. How would yon set about the work ? Would you try to scoop the darknees up in buckets and carry it out at the door? Not at all. Yon would just open the windows and shutters and let in the blessed sunlight. You would replace the darkness with light. So it is with worry. The only possible way to get rid of it is to replace the worry attitude of mind with the non - worry attitude. And this can always be done when the person is sincere and patient in his desire to bring it about. All he has to do is to be passive and let nature have her own perfect way with him."

May a Woman -ell Her Lovet It is true it is unconventional for a woman to tell a man that she loves him unless the man hat persuaded her to make such confession. But is there any good reason why a woman should not take the initiative? Is she any less a woman for doing so? A shy and timid man may not know how to tell a wom- an that he loves her. Should the wom- an, who is of firmer faith end strongee mind, stand halting and waiting for a confession that may never come? Why should she suffer in silence? By so do- ing may she not lose the man who loves her and also the happiness of a lifetime as well ?—New York World. Sensible tareey.

"Are you going to challenge him?" asked the kind friend. "Certainly not," replied Sarcey. "I owe him thanks. The public will forget the word imbecile and will remember to have read my name."

Why not begin at the extrava. gant salaries? The state school library board has agaiu awarded the contract of supply- ing books to the St. Paul Book, & Stationery Company. A thorough revision of the catalogue was also made. Every school that expends $10 for library books receives a like amount from the state, at list prices. The fee for inspecting grain has been advanced to twenty-five cents per car in order to pay the salaries of the additional men appointed by the present administration. The, surplus of $90,000 has been reduced to less than $20,000 in the past nine months. A writ of mandamus was issued by the United States circuit court on Saturday ordering the mayor and council of the city of South St. Paul to levy an additional assessment to satisfy a judgment of $4,798.26, ac- crued interest on their bridge bonds. The remains of the old Indian chief, for whom the town of Sleepy Eye was named, have been located near Milbank and are to be brought back for interment.

Everybody's Magazine is one of the latest additions to periodical litera- ture. It has an interesting table of coutents, is well illustrated, and published by the North American Company, New York, at $1 per year. The cases against L. F. Menage, of Guaranty Loan notoriety, have been again postponed in the district court at Minneapolis. They might as well be dismissed, as there is no probabili- ty of their ever coming to trial. Mrs. Hetty Gates, of Minneapolis, has been arrested for larceny in the second degree. She claimed to be heiress to a large fortune in England, and was living at a rapid rate upon the strength of it. Emmet Rowland, a normal student at Mankato, was struck by a North- western train Saturday afternoon while walking on the tick, and died that night. He was from Houston, aged twenty-one.

The remaining assets of the Union National Bank of Minneapolis, listed at $500,000, were sold at auction by the receiver on Saturday for $52,500, and the building for $33,000. It cost $31,110 to bring the Thir- teenth Regiment back from San Francisco, of which the Northern Pacific receives two-thirds and the Great Northern one-third. The Washington Electric Company is planning the establishment of an extensive plant at Taylor's Falls to provide manufacturing power at Minneapolis and St. Paul. F. H.

This reminds us that in glancing over the exchange pile we find old familiar faces still conducted by the men who came over in the Mayflower. There is Bro. Daniel Sinclair, for instance, who was the first to chronicle the return of the dove witk an olive branch in his Wi- nona Republican, 0, so long, long ago. And there is Bro. Irving Todd, who was the veteran editor of The HIast- ings Gazette before Brutus and Julius Caesar got together, and The Gazette looks just as it did the first time we scanned its pages. And here is The Faribault Republican, over which A. W. McKinstry has presided since the days when Minnesota first champed a teething ring, but the writer has a copy of The Republican, well pre- served, which antedates Bro. MeKin- stry's time by several years, when the paper was called The Central Repub- lican, under the editorship of the even-tempered Orville Brown, who was always mad about something.

"Business is dull," said a mer- chant to the editor the other day. "Is if? .said the editor, "then you should advertise in The Journal and let our readers know that you want their trade."

Another merchant had a fifty cent carpet (he does not sell carpets) which he had purchased in Minneapolis for forty-nine. The daughter of another merchant (who does not sell shoes) had two boxes of shoes stuck up in the bundle holder of the car. And another merchant had a new suit of clothes from a St. Paul tailor.

Is it any woluier that the coal barons have such a clutch on us, when people are walking aleft-- -.-•t't5 stoves in their heads? A number of new magazines have been -wilted for the reading room. The , various_ classes have furnished the necessary funds for this purpose. The janitor wisely took the hint, and now there is another stove in the southern part of our domain. All is warmth and sweet peace and harmony. We are promised•to move into our new quarters in the near future. This is welcome news to us as our household is altogether too large to be accommodated in our present location. It is always the unexpected thxtt happens. At least so it seemed the other day. But never mind. The sighs and tears are all aver now, and the seniors look to the‘ future with brighter hopes than ever. Fred Grenzke, a prosperous young farmer near Lewiston, committed sui- cide at the barn adjoining his house Monday afternoon by blowing out his brains with an .old Winchester rifle. The top of the skull was completely removed, death resulting instantly. The deceased was twenty-four years of age, and leaves a wife and baby five months old. He has not been quite right in his mind lately, laboring under the hallucination that he had set fire to several buildings adjoining his home, and it is quite certain that this temporary derange- ment was the cause of his mad deed. — Win ona Republican.

Nez Perces Lands. Only one hundred miles southeast of the fertile grain fields of Eastern* Wash- inton, between the Clearwater and Sal- mon rivers, lies what was long known as the Nez Perces Indian country, only recently thrown open to settlement and mining. Since the early sixties, when $38,000,000 was washed out of the rich placers of the Clearwater and Salmon rivers, it has been a tradition among miners that some day great gold discover- ies would be made in the Nez Perces country. The enormous cost of transpor- tation, remoteness from civilization, and consequent impossibility of carrying on large mining operations left the rich quartz ledges -the mother lodes of the placers -untouched. Almost simultane- ously with the completion of the North- ern Pacific's Lewiston extension from Spokane came the announcement of the discovery in the Buffalo Hump rapge of immense ledges of gold bearing quartz which, cropping out above the surface, and twenty feet or more in width, extend in different directions for many miles. The rapid extension of the Clearwater Line of the Northern Pacific, now build- ing along that river from Lewiston, will soon throw this heretofore almost inac- cessible country open to capital, and modern machinery with American grit will do the rest. For fuller information and a new map of this region send a two cent stamp to Chas. S. Fee, St. Paul, Minn., or address any general or district passenger agent of the Northern Pacific Railway.

About Good , School Shoes. Healthy School Children exercise the feet thoroughly jumping, running, skipping, or sliding on their way to school and during play time, this exercise wears out shoes. The children can't help it, it's natural, but it is hard on the parent's pocket book. For those parents that don't want to buy a new pair every three weeks, we have designed a new line of shoes, made of soft leather, and a kind that will stand all kinds of hard knocks, keep out the wet, . and at the same time has a st}tlish appearance. They cost a tritfe more than the ordinary kind, but in the end you will find they are the cheapest shoes you ever bought.

THE BUSINESS VENTURE OF CISSY JAYNE BY W. R. ROSE. Cissy Was a Child, but She Had a Remarkable Aptitude For Trade. The tall young man at the desK by the big window looked up with a start. There was something strangely famil- iar about the little figure in the door- way. He arose hurriedly from his chair, "Why, it's Cissy!" he cried and step- ped forward. The child's figure sway- ed toward him, and he caught it in his arms. "George Henderson," a tired little voice panted, "wily don't you live up to heaven and be done with it?" "What is it, Cissy?" cried the young man as he placed the child in the great padded chair in the corner and unfas- tened her big hat and anxiously looked her over. "It's these eight Bights of stairs, George," the faint voice panted. "But I'm all right. Just gimme tine to get my breath." "Gracious, Cissy, did you walk up?" m The tired head weakly nodded. She was a slender girl of perhaps a dozen years. Her features were prom- inent, her eyes keen, her chin aggres- sive. Her light hair was brushed tight- ly back from her face, and this em- phasized the sharpness of her features and her look. She was very neatly dressed and, under one arm, carried two handsomely bound books. L, "Why in the world didn't you take the elevator, Cissy?" Her breath was coming back now, and she smiled up at the young man f and lifted one eyebrow in a whimsical no way. "I'll tell you, George," she answe "I went into the vestybool, way d by the sidewalk, you know, and I just going to step into the elev t when the fresh kid in brass butt that runs It pointed to a sign on wall. While I was reading it he run the elevator up. You know the s1 It's the one that says, 'No book agen peddlers or dogs allowed in this buil ing.' I read it and walked up." "But I don't see"— began the puzzl young man. "George Henderson," cried the gi "don't you look at me' as If y thought I took myself for a dog! I' book agent." "A book agent, Cissy Jayne?" "Yes, a book agent, Georgie Hend son. Is there anything the mat with my being a book agent?" "Certainly not," laughed the you man. "It's an ancient and honors profession, even if a rude and unapp ciative janitor does classify it w peddlers and dogs. But how did y happen to adopt it?" The girl scowled at him. "See here, Georgie Porgie," she sna ped, "don't you give me any of yo Harvard talk. Kindergarten words good enough for me. I'm a book age red. own waas or ns the sed go. ts, t- ed rl, ou I'm er- ter ng ble re- ith 011 p- ur is nt 'cause dad put it in my head. At the table yesterday he got mad at me and said I had brass enough for a book agent. `Do you think I'd make a good book agent, dad?' says I. 'It's just what you're fitted for,' he growled. And so this noon I picked two books of mine from the big bookcase and start- ed out." "See here,' Cissy Jayne," cried the young man, "you don't mean to say that you came all the way down town alone? How did you do it?" "With a nickel and a transfer," gig- gled the child. "And your father, and—and Miss Ethel don't know where you are?" "No, they don't." "I'll telephone to them at once," said the young man, as be turned toward the phone. "Don't do it," cried the child. "Papa Jayne is down town at his office and of course hasn't missed me, and Sister Ethel Is out to luncheon with Mame Oliver and she won't miss me until she comes back. And now let me ask your 'tention to these nice books. They are very choice. One is 'Little Women,' by the author of 'Little Men,' and the other is `Little Men,' by the same author. They are nice, morul books. There are pitchoors in them. Lemme put down your name for both." "Good," cried George Henderson; "very good. Your fatherhvas quite right. You have found your profession and you are sure to rise in it." "Haven't I already come up eight stories?" laughed the child. Then she quickly added, "Do you take the books?" "I have so many books now?" laugh- ed the young man. "You'd better take them," said the child. "I've got something to say to you about Sister Ethel," The young man started. "I'll tell you what I'll do, Cissy," he said. "I'll take them on approval." "What's that?" "It means that I'll take them and look them over," replied the young man, "and if I like them I'll keep them and pay yo" for them. If I don't like them, I'll return them to you." "Is that straight, George?" "Certainly. Besides, Cissy, you know the elevator boy can't Keep you out 1Z you haven't the books with you." "All right, George. I'll trust you." "And now, Cissy, what have you to say to me about Ethel?" But the elnild had perched herself on the broad window sill, looking down on the Public e. uer°, and was softly hum- ming, "Hello, My Baby." She paid no attention to George's inquiry. George looked at her curiously. "Cissy." he said, "bow would you like a heaping plate of ice cream?" The child nodded, but did not cease her tune. George smiled and glanced at his watch. "Cissy," he said, "what do you say to getting the heaping plate of tee cream and then going over to the matinee of 'Jack and the Beanstalk?' " Cissy looked around quickly. "Honest?" she cried. George nodded. She sprang fromthewin D gwindowsill. 1. "You're a darling," she murmured, and snatched up her hat. "Plenty of time," said George. "You were going to tell me something, you know." "Yes," assented Cissy, "I know. It's about Ethel." "It's about Ethel," z oftly repeated George. "Well," said Cissy, "she ain't been happy a minute since you quarreled with her." "I didn't quarrel with her," protest- ed George. "Well, I heard some of it," said Cis- sy, "and even if Ethel is my sister I don't think -you ought to put all the blame on her. She felt awful bad about it. I slept with her that night, 'cause Aunt Laura came to see us, and I heard her crying. And yesterday— well, you know there's a basket of photographs on the piano, and ma ex- pects me to keep the piano dusted, and sometimes I forget it, and I sneaked in the parlor, and there was Ethel look- ing at your photograph, and when she saw me she shoved it in the pile and walked away, and I looked on the top of the piano and there was four big teardrops in the dust. Say,- what was it you quarreled about—Annie Pleas- anton?" "I believe her name was mentioned?' said George. "Somebody told Ethel that they saw you and Annie riding together in the park, didn't they?" "I believe so," admitted George. "Yes," said Oissy calmly. "That was e." "Yon told her that?" cried George. "Yee," said Cissy sweetly, "I told her. She wouldn't let me wear her second best hat." George looked black for a moment, then his face cleared. He turned abruptly and stepped to the phone. "E. 7,801 L," he called. "Knows it by heart," murmured issy. "Is Miss Ethel there?" inquired George. "Yes, I wish to speak to her." "George," cried Cissy, "don't you to that the girl at the exchange is ,ening to every word you say." "Is that sou.

"I will explain it all to you when I come up. Yes, I'm coming to dinner if you will let me. Cissy is going with me to a matinee and then we'll come up together. What's that? Cissy isn't dressed to go anywhere? Why, I fancy she's got on her best clothes." "Much you know about it," snorted Cissy. "Anyway, she is looking charming." "Ring off!" cried Cissy. "I—I think that's all until we meet— goodby." And George reluctantly rang off. "If I hadn't been here," said Cissy, "you'd have most likely melted that wire." "All ready?" queried the smiling George as he took up his hat. "All ready," said Cissy with great alacrity. "And my stock—the books, you know?" "I'll take care of thein," said George. "Two more excuses for coming up," giggled Cissy. "Come along," cried George.—Cleve- land Plain Dealer. Couldn't Keep n Secret.

White I was reading it he maned the elevator up. Fon know the slgn. les the one that says, 'No book agents, p•ddleris or dogs allowed In this build- ing.' I read it and walked up." - "But I don't see"— began the puled young man. "George Henderson," cried the- girl, "don't yon look ` at me' as if you thought I took myself for a dogl Pm a book agent." "A book agent, Olney Jayne?' "Yes, a book agent, Georgie Hender- son. Is there anything the matter with my being a book agent?" - "Certainly not," Laughed the young man. "It's an' ancient and honorable profession, even if a rude and unappre- ciative Janitor does classify it with peddlers and dogs. But how did you happen to adopt it?' The girl scowled at him. "See here, Georgie Porgies" she snap- ped, "don't you give me any of your Harvard talk. Kindergarten words is good enough for me. I'm a book agent 'cause dad put it in my head. At the table yesterday he got mad at me and said I had brass enough for a book agent. 'Do yon think I'd make a good book agent, dad? says I. 'It's just what you're fitted for,' he growled. And so this noon I picked two books of mine from the big bookcase and start- ed, out." "See here, elegy Jayne," cried the young man, "you don't mean to say that you came all the way down town alone? How did you do it?" "With a nickel and a transfer," gig- gled the child. "And your father, and—and Miss Ethel don't know where you are?" "No, they don't." "I'll telephone to them at once," said the young man, as he turned toward the phone. "Don't do it," cried the child. "Papa Jayne is down town at his office and of course hasn't missed me, and Sister Ethel is out to luncheon with Mame Oliver and, she won't miss me until she comes back. And now let me ask your 'tention to these nice books. They are very choice. One is 'Little Women,' by the author of 'Little Men,' and the other is 'Little Men,' by the same author. They are nice, moral books. There are pitchoors in them. Lemme put down your name for both." "Good," cried George Henderson; "very good. Your father'was quite right. You have found your profession and you are sure to rise in it." "Haven't I already come up eight stories?" laughed the child. Then she quickly added, "Do you take the books?" "I have so many books now?" laugh- ed the young man. "You'd better take them," said the child. "I've got something to say to you about Sister Ethel." The young man started. "I'll tell you what I'll do, Cissy," he said. "I'll take them on approval." "What's that?' "It means that I'll take them and look them over," replied the young man, "and if I like them I'll keep them and pay yoe for them. If I don't like them, I'll return them to you." "Is that straight, George?" "Certainly. Besides, Cissy, you know the elevator boy can't Keep you aux 1y you haven't the books with you." "AU right, George. I'll trust you." "And now, Cissy, what have you to say to me about Ethel?" But the child had perched herself on the broad window sill, looking down on the Public square, and was softly hum- ming, "Hello, My Baby." She paid no attention to George's inquiry. George looked at her curiously. "Cissy." he said, "bow would you like a heaping plate of ice cream?' The child nodded, but did not cease her tune. George smiled and glanced at his watch. "Cissy," he said, "what do you say to Jig the heaping plate of ice -cream and then going over to the matinee of 'Jack and the Beanstalk? " Cissy looked around quickly. "Honest?' she cried. George nodded. She sprang from the window sill. "You're a darling," she murmured, and snatched up her hat. . "Plenty of time," said Georgd. "You were going to tell me something, You know." "Yes," assented Cissy, "I know. It's about Ethel." "It's about Ethel," softly repeated "Well," said Clay, "she ain't been happy a minute since you quarreled nIth her." "I didn't quarrel with her,". protest. ed George.

The Influence on the Nerves by the Stomach and the Food That It Con- tains—Events That Occur Ina Frac- tion of a Second. Dreams are generally a repetition of thoughts unguided by reason. Those caused by internal action or broug'lit about by action within the body are due entirely to the action and state of the stomach, which in turn is affected, by the quantity and quality of food consumed. The first ends or feelers of Site_nerves are located in the walls of the stom- ach, -and as the food is: digested they draw up the nourishment and dietrtb- ute it throughout the nervous system to replace the waste that has taken place during the day. If the stomach be surcharged with au abundance of beating food, too much nourishment is forced upon the brain, causing an ab- normal filling of the channels, ttlereby expanding them, bringingthem in touch with others and causing the mat- ter from one to overflow into or to mix with the fluid of neighboring channels. Whenever the fluid traverses a chan- nel • more or Less forcibly the thought which originated that passage is re- produced more or less vividly; hence insures the general mixing up of thoughts which originally had no con- nection with each other. An overloaded stomach also causes a flow of blood teethe brain, sent there by nature to assist in assimilating the extra nourishment. and the overcharg- ed blood vessel;, pressing- upon the nerve channels_ near the brain, cause even more turbulent disturbances. This accounts for the advice of somany medical men that no considerable quantity, especially .of animal food, should be taken immediately before bedtime. The crossing, recrossing and touching of these thought channels brought about in this way produce the absurd mixtures of fancies that often come to us when we sleep. The stomach, too, is a mill which keeps on forever grinding, the walls acting as the grindstones. When, therefore, there Is nothing between them, or, in other words, when the stomach )s empty, one wall grinds up- on the other, causing an .irritation of the nerves which produces that pecul- iar sensation of falling from some great height. To understand haw external action will affect the dream of a sleeper it mast be borne in mind that those dreams which seem to take hours, and even days, in passing really occupy but a minute fraction of a second., If, therefore, we are awakened by some loud, strident noise, say by the crack- ing of a -whip, then between the time that the sound strikes the ear while we are yet asleepand the time that we are fully awake to realize what has caused the sound a few moments' only have elapsed. hilt those few moments were sufficient to allow of a dream of apparently several hours' duration. As an example: A milkman, driving up beneath an open bedroom window, cracks his whip: smartly. Immediate- ly the thought produced by the sound causes a. dream. The sleeper imagines himself a soldier who has fallen into the hands of the enemy. He is led out to be shot He stands blindfolded, with. hands tied, before the platoon of sol- diers. He hears the click, -click, click as the rifles are cocked. He hears the word given, and the noise of the volley rings out on his ears. Then he awakes with a start, to hear the rumble of the milkman's wagon as he cracked his whip and drove off over some rough cobblestones. - A blow, a cut or a sensation of pain will operate in the same way and awaken certain channels of thought connected with pain just as the noise awoke those connected with sound. For instance, a sleeper dreams that he is closed up in some close traveling carriage and is being driven rapidly off in an unknown direction by a man who has designs upon hi6 purse and life. He tries to shout, in vain he struggles to get free and In the tussle drives an arm through the glass window of the carriage. The hand is cut and bleed- ing. leeding. It smarts fearfully, and be awakes to find that in his sleep he had carelessly thrown out an arm, and his hand has smashed some fine medicine glass on a stand by the bedside The whole dream passed, between the time that the hand first struck the glass, creating the sensation of pain, and the moment that the sleeper awoke to real- ize the fact.—Chicago Record. - A Woman's Compliment. "After you had been at my house this other day,” said one woman to anothe , "my little maid said she thought you were such a pretty woman. I don't like to correct her too often for taking such an interest as she does in every one who calls to see me. The first time Miss Blank called she thought she ought to say something, so she said: 'Isn't Miss Blank a nice lady; she's so quiet' And you know she Isn't that either!" And silence reigned while the other woman digested it.—New York Sun. Likes It Fresh. "Send in your items of news when they are fresh," says the Salisbury (Mo.) Press. "We don't like to,publish a birth after the child is weaned, a marriage after the honeymoon is over, a death after the widow 'is married again nor the notice of t :. entertain- ment after the job work is done else - Where and the editor is charged for ad- Mission." THE FINAL SMASH UP MANY PREDICTIONS CONCERNING THE END OF THE WORLD. These Prophecies Have Startled the Inhabitants of This Old Earth Front as Far Back as the Year 1000—The Fear of Comets. In 1521 Jean Stotler, a German, plunged Europe into terror by predict- ing a universal 'deluge In 1524 'owing to the conjunction of several planets in a watery sign"—the watery signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. At his ominous words thousands fled to the mountains, and others:took refuge in boats. 4winol. a doctor of law and canon of Toulouse, even built a sort of ark on four pillars as a haven of refuge. There was no need of such excitement, No flood came. On the contrary, the season was even calmer and drier than, usual. Stofler had, in- deed, made a serious blunder and one for which many of his fellow astrol- ogers, including Cardau, never par- doned him. Stotler, however, is only one in a long list of prophets whose predictions In regard to the end of the world have proved utterly false. As far back as the ,year 1000 many communities in Europe were driven half distracted by rumors that the day of judgment was close at hand, and again, in 1186, whole cities were paralyzed with fright for the same reason. Now and again dur- ing the latter part of the middle ages the same extraordinary phenomenon was witnessed, though in a lesser dee- gree, and ever since the modern re- vival of occultism there have not been wanting erratic prophets of the Jean ,Stofler type. Years ago a Mr. Baxter created a sensation in England by his prediction that the world would certainly come to an end In 1887. Thousands believed in him, and. great was their surprise when they discovered that he was mis-• taken. Yet such is the credulity of human nature that their faith in him remained unshaken, and, no matter what year he selected as the final one of the world's existence, they accepted, his prediction as gospel troth. Equally bold, though doubtless not as popular as Baxter, is the Abbe Du - pin, cure of the village of Dion, in France, and author of a book with the following extraordinary title: "The grand coup or universal cataclysm will ravage the world between the 19th and 21st of September, 1896, •according to the Scriptures. The prophecies of the Old and New Testaments compare with those of the fathers and with the secrets of.La Salette, in which is foretold the great war which will de- stroy nine -tenths of the human race, the coming of antichrist and his reign, after which the church will triumph over her enemies and thh reign of Christ begin on earth." The author fixed September, 1896, as the time when the -great "coup," as he call- ed it; would take place, but he added that if it did not take place then it would certainly occur before the close of 1899. The appearance of comets has fre- quently given rise to similar predict- tions. This was the case when the fa- mous comet of 1680 appeared. Whis- ton ascribed the deluge to its fouler appearance, and such an excitement did it cause among all classes of, the people that Bayle wrote a treatiseto prove the absurdity of belief founded on these portents. Mme. de Levigne, writing at the same time, said: "We have a comet of enormous size. Its tail is the most beautiful object conceivable. Every person of note ie alarmed and believes that heaven, in- terested in their fate, sends them a warning in this comet. They say that the courtiers of Cardinal Mazarin, who is despaired - of by his physicians, be- lieve this prodigy is in honor of his' passing, away and tell him of the ter- ror with which it has inspired them. Hed the sense to laugh at them and to rely facetiously that the comet did him much honor." M. Camille . Flammarion, the distin- guielled French astronomer, says on the same subject: "In this century predic- tions concerning the end of the world have several times been associated with comets. It was announced that the comet of Biela, for example, would intersect the world's orbit on Oct. 20, 1832, which did as predicted. There was great excitement. Once more the end of things was declared at hand. Humanity was threatened. What was going to happen? The orbit—that is to say, the path of the earth—had been confounded with the earth itself. The latter was not to reach that point of its orbit traversed by the comet until Nov. 30, more than a month after the comet's passage, and the latter was at no %me to be within 20,000,000 leagues of us. Once more we got off with a good fright." In his entertaining book, ' La Fin du Blonde," M. Flammarion gives a graph- ic description of a collision between the earth and a comet which is to take place some time in the twenty-fifth century. "These two heavenly bodies, the earth and the comet," he writes, "will meet like two trains rushing headlong upon each other with resist- less momentum, as if impelled to mu- tual destruction by an insatiable rage. But in the present instance the veloci- ty of shock will be 865 times greater thab that of two express trains having each a speed of 100 kilometers per hour."—New York Herald. . ; Second Lawyer—You are a liar and a The best thing to be done when evil blackguard. comes upon us is not to resort to lain- The Court (softly)—Come, gentlemen, entatlen, but to act; not to sit and let's get down to the disputed -points of suffer, but to rise and seek the remedy. i the ease.—'Philsdelphla North Amari, A Orewsome Superstition. A rumor got about in a village in Russia, not far from the German. fron- tier, that the corpse of a woman who had recently been buried had turned in the coffin. Everybody in the village not only believed the rumor, but ascribed the prevailing drought as the cause. A village council was held, and It was de- cided that the husband of the woman should have the coffin opened and the body replaced in its original position. The husband, however, promptly re- fused, and nothing could persuade him to yield to the unanimous wish of his fellow villagers, whereupon the latter took the matter in their own hands and went to the churchyard to dig up and open' the coffn. To their great surprise the body lay in its original position. Their astonishment was not lessened when the legal authorities appeared on the scene and opened an inquiry, with a view of imposing puulshment for the desecration of the grave. The whole neighborhood was pos- sessed with the idea that newly buried persons were to blame for the preva- lence of the dry weather,for in anoth- er village, not far off, a grave was opened and the coffin unscrewed to pour water on the corpse. The be- nighted peasants of this village were of the opinion that this was the best way to induce the clerk of the weather to supply them with much needed rain. A Sharp Swindler. A fashtonable young lady not Tong ago drove up in a handsome carriage to a private lunatic asylum, situated a few miles from Paris, and requested to see the proprietor. Her wish being acceded to, she informed the doctor that she desired to place her husband under his care to see if a cruel mania, under which he labored—viz, "that he had lost a large quantity of jewels"— could not be removed. After some hesitation the doctor con- sented, and the lady drove away di- rectly to a jeweler's in Paris and se- lected jewels to the value of several thousand francs and requested one of the sbopmen to go with her in her car- riage to procure the money for the goods she had taken. She drove with him to the asylum, and, arriving there, he was shown into a room., The lady then sought the doctor, told him of the arrival of her husband, and getting into her carriage again drove away. The rest may be imagined, buf the poor fellow was confined several days before It was found they both had been "sold." The lady was never heard of after. THE- WILY BADGER. A CROSS ON HIS BACK.

Some of the Persian drawing rooms are so com- pletely hemmed in by great pier glass- es that visitors often become bewil- dered and try to walk through the glasses down the long aisle that seems to stretch in front. So bumped noses, knees and toes are not uncommon In that land of oriental splendor and mystery. Settled It.

The simple plan of bathing the eyes with cold water every night at bed- time and the first thing on getting up in the morning will make the eyes both clear and bright.

An American farmer near Guadala- jara convinced his Mexican neighbors that , xen can do more work under American yokes, so generally used in the republic. The American brought several modern yokes from the United States and used thele with success. The curiosity of his 'Mexican friends was aroused, and they proceeded to ask questions. "Well," said the American, "when you lasso a steer and the lasso gets around his neck what do you do?" "Turn him loose," was the reply. "Why?, "Because he's too strong for us that way." "That's it," answered the American. "His strength is in his neck, not in his horns." The Mexicans saw the point, and now yokes of United States manufac- ture are generally used in that neigh- borhood.—Modern Mexico.

His Remedy. The other day a little stenographer in a down town office begged some workmen who were putting up a new telephone not to place It so high on the wall as they were doiug. "You see," she said, "I have to use it as much as any one, and I am so short that I can hardly reach it," "Oh, well, miss," said the humorist in charge of the work, "you can raise your voice, can't you?"—Boston Tran- script.

He fancied that his neighbor, tt o receiv- edpension for ao theloxSofan arm in- curred while fighting for his country, was better off than himself. Both sten went to pay their rent on the same day. ' "That's a lucky man," said the tailor to the landlord. "He gets well paid for his arm." "But who would be willing to part with an arm, even if he were paid for it?' said the landlord. "I would," declared the tailor. "You!" cried the landlord. "Why, man, you wouldn't be willing to bear anything of the sort, no matter how much you were paid for it." "I wish some one would try me." "Now, see here," said the landlord, who had studied human nature, "I'll tell you what, if you'll wear even so much as a chalk mark on your back I'll remit your rent as long as you dear it on your coat so it can be seen; the condition being that you tell no one why it is there." "Agreed," said the tailor eagerly. "That's an easy way to pay rent!" So the chalk mark in the form of a cross was made on the back of his coat, and the delighted tailor sallied forth upon the street. Strangers and . acquaintances hailed him -to tell him of the hark on his back. Jokes were made at his expense, children laughed and pointed at him, and his wife annoyed him with ques- tions and with conjugal familiarity told him be was a fool. 'rhe usually amiable man grew surly and morose; he shunned men, women and children and frequented back streets. Before the week was up the tailor found him- self embroiled in a quarrel with his best friend, his wife had threatened to leave his house and he considered him- self miserable and 111 used. Finally, one night he took off his coat and rubbed out the chalk mark and said: "There! I would not wear that cross on my back another week, no, not if I could have all the money there is In Paris!'—Youth's Compan- ion. SHAVING A DEAD MAN.

This was in 1648 and was then designated as a monopoly. It was confined to the re- gion controlled by Massachusetts, and the one issuepparently included all the invention of4he inventor connect- ed with engines that depended upon water for their motive power. The limit of the monopoly . was 14 years, and Me court not only retained power to forbid exportation, but to prevent exorbitant charges upon the public for their use. The patent was issued in this form: "JENKES MONOPOLYE. "At a generall Courte at Boston the 8th of the 3th Mo 1648.

Robert Dewar, brother of Lord Wil- liam Dewar, the British scientist who was the first experimenter to liquefy air, is a remarkably absentminded man. It is said that on one occasion he left his home early one morning and repaired to the house of a friend, in which there was a fine library to which he had access. That afternoon his relatives and friends searched the neighborhood in vain for hint. At length he was run down in this library. By his side was a new suit of clothes. "It's a nice man you are," ironically said.the spokesman. "What's the matter now?" returned Robert irritably. "Your bride and the preacher are waiting for you this two hour's.

But few people know that in the six- teenth century an Englishman was not allowed to read the Bible, yet it is per- fectly true. Henry VIII issued a de- cree prohibiting the co.: •. ,n. people from reading the Bib s ii cers of state were exempt ow this law. Probably the king_ ought these offi- cials would be none the worse for perusing the sacred work, and noble ladles or gentlewomen might read the proscribed volume if they did so In their gardens or orchard, but no-one was allowed even t&. read it to the low- er classes. During the reign of Catholic Queen Mary even more rigorous restrictions were enforced. Dr. Franklin, in his own "Life," preserves an anecdote which admirably illustrates this. ' His family had erly adhered to the ref- ormation, and they possessed a Eng- lish Bible, whish they concea ed by fastening it beneath the lid of close stool. When the doctor's great- and - father desired to read to the family, he reversed the lid of she stool upon his knees and passed the leaves from one side to the other, each portion being fastened down with pack threads. One of the children was stationed at the door on the watch to see if an officer of the spiritual court came in sight. When such an individual hove in sight, the lid, with'the Bible beneath it, was quickly replaced. This was in "Merry England."—Scottish Nights. Wave Clouds.

If Gov. Lind had been any thing more than a very ordinary politician he would have demanded the resigna- tion of E. M. Pope, public examiner, immediately upon his return from San Francisco, for the unexplained withholding of $500 from the library association at Mankato which was only discovered by an expert employ- ed in examining the books of the city. Having overlooked and condoned this grave offense in one of the most im- portant departments of the- adminis- tration, he roust be prepared to as- sume the responsibility himself, and it will cost him thousands of votes next year if he runs again for governor. A Washington special says that C. S. Sloan, geographer for the twelfth censut, has completed the districting of Minnesota, with the exception of the sixth congressional district. The first district will have two hun- dred and two enumeration districts, the second two hundred and seventy, the third one hundred and ninety-six, the fourth one hundred and fifty-six, Ole fifth one hundred and forty-five, and the seventh two hundred and ninety-four, bringing the total up to over fifteen hundred. In the large cities the enumerators will receive two cents per name, and outside a per diem ranging from $3 to $4. The St. Paul Dispatch says "there are no extravagant salaries paid by the school board=' This may be true from a Dispatch standpoint, but the published statements indicate a waste of public money which would not be tolerated in any business en- terprise. There is no reason why a girl of three or four years experi- ence, working five days a week and six hours a day, should command more wages than a skilled mechanic working six days a week and ten hours a day. No wonder their board of education is continually short of funds, and perhaps it is well that they are. Eight states will hold elections next '‘Tuesday, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Although an off year more than the usual interest is manifested owing to factional fights in several of them, and still more to the fact that the candidates and issues of the presiden- tial campaign are practically defined at this early date. The Cass Lake town'site was sold at auction by the government in St. Cloud on Wednesday to Gil. Hartley, of Duluth, for $14,820. The total receipts were $17,993.38, and the ap- praised value of two hundred and fifty acres of pine land was only $1,684.38. The Indians therefore have no kick coming. A clever check fraud has been do- ing up the bankers and business men of La Crosse, Winona, and Mankato for considerable amounts. He is de- scribed as tall, with dark complexion and mustache, dresses plainly, and has a different alias for every town. There is a female accomplice, as a matter of course. Ignatit Donnelly expects to have his new book on The Cipher in the Plays and on the Tombstone out in about two weeks. It is being printed in Minneapolis, and will be published simultaneously in this country and England. The work contains three hundred and seventy pages,price$1.25. Capt. Van Sant is diversifying his gubernatorial candidacy with specu- lations upon the weather, predicting extreme cold weather at the full of the moon, on the 17th inst., in fact about as chilly as he found the last two republican state conventions. The produce men of St. Paul, Min- neapolis, and Duluth have agreed to discontinue handling goods on com- mission, and in future will buy their stocks outright. The hardships of the Grindeland law, if any, will there- fore fall upon the farmers. The St. Cloud Journal -Press roasts Gov. Lind for failing to keep an ap- pointment to address the Christian Endeavor convention last Sunday, alleging a previous engagement, which proved to be a duck hunt in Otter Tail County. The supreme court holds that tribal Indians may hunt and fish on the reservations in their usu'l. and traditional manner in order to pro- cure food for themselves, regardless of any state law to the contrary. The board of trustees expect to open the Anoka asylum in a couple of months and the Hastings asylum in the spring. If we had a resident member perhaps odd building would have been pushed a little faster. Minnesota Journalism. C. P. Smith, founder of The Hutchinson Leader, died at Waupaca, Wis., last week. The Journal -is a new paper issued at Sacred Heart last week. It is owned by a syndicate, with P. H. Paulson, as manager. The supreme court of the United States decides that the eldest son of an Indian chief is entitled by all their laws, usages, and customs to come into possession of his deceased fa- ther's titles and property.

Every licensed hunter may shoot five deer in this state between the lst and 20th inst., provided he can get close enough to the game to exhibit the official document duly signed, sealed, and delivered. The secretaryof the interior holds that the govei ent has no i*terest whatever in las controversies after issuing the patent, and cannot under- take to defend the title when it is attacked. A young man named William Rahn was killed at Hutchinson on Tuesday evening by a spring gun in a farmer's wagon which a party of boys were wheeling away as a Hallowe'en prank. The small pox in Albert Lea is abating, but one new case having de- veloped this week. The frosty nights will probably put an end to it in short order. Thomas Lowry has presented a check of *120 to the fourteen police- men who escorted the president at his recent visit in Minneapolis. The twenty-seventh annual meeting of the American Public Health As- sociation is being held in Minneapolis this week. The rumored case of small pox in Stillwater turns out to be only chicken pox, and the scare is over. The long distance telephone be- tween Minneapolis and West Superior has been completed. Senator Knute Nelson has returned from his trip abroad. If W. H. Eustis were the only suf- ferer from last year's republican de- feat we might all charge it up to cer- tain of his own personal mistakes in conducting the campaign and let it go at that. But the fact is that the whole state has to suffer. It suffers on account of the senseless partisan change made in the grain inspection department; on aocount of the dis- credit which tthe state is thrown into by the change made in the hank ex- aminer's office; on account of the dis- honor heaped upon the state by a chief executive who, after having sought a fat appointment as quarter- master in the volunteer army, turns around and denounces the national administration for having raised such an army. Did political treachery af- fect but the one man whom it aims to defeat it would be a mere personal matter, but since it wrongs the entire party, and as in this case the entire state, it becomes a most serious pub- lic offense.—Midway News. August Paperntus and Miss Mary Hanson, residing near La Crescent, were united in marriage Thursday in the church at that place. The bridal party had engaged a bus to convey them to and from the church, and on the return trip, the party being filled with joy, sang and, laughed as they drove along the country road. They passed a young lean named Herman Hornfeldt, who was out hunting ducks. Whether the party scared away the ducks or not, Hornfeldt evi- dently thought so, and to get even turned the gun toward the bus load of people and fired. The driver was the first victim and about thirty duck shots penetrated his flesh. Mrs. Milke, a member of the party, receiv- ed five shot in her forehead, and the bride was also injured. Just what Hornfeldt's motive`'was is not known, but he evidently sought revenge and be took that manner of getting it.— Winona Republican. The auction sale of several hun- dreds of lots in St. Paul Park by Sheriff Smith realized less than $5,000. The sale was made by order of the district court in the suit of the St. Paul Title & Trust Company, as trustee, against the St. Paul Invest- ment and Savings Society and others to satisfy a judgment for$349,936.12, the amount of bonds, interest, and costs. The proceeds of the sale will not go far toward paying bondholders after paying costs of extended litiga- tion.—Stillwater Gazette.

Gleaning dollars from a bursted bubble was found to be slow work by a party of real estate men and law- yers at the court -house to -day. A dozen years ago, when there was a big boom in real estate at St. Paul and other cities, M. D. Miller and F. P. Blair floated a big real estate scheme. They received six hundred acres of land and laid it out into four thousand lots, calling the place St. Paul Park. A village sprang up and the promoters organized the St. Paul Investment & Savings Society. Bonds were floated to the extent of $350,000. People all over the United States bought bonds and lots. There was a deed of trust given to secure bond- holders, and the St. Paul Trust & Title Company was named as the trustees. By order of the district court of this county a large portion of the property was ordered sold, and the sale was in progress to -day. Lots were selling as low as fifty cents,_and none of them brought a big price. It is said that $8,000 probably will be WO' limit of the amount realized out of the property. Among those attending the sale were E. J. Hodg- son, of the trust company, J. C. Michael, representing some of the bondholders, both of St. Paul; David Hanna, of White Bear, C. A. Parker, of Newport, and a number of men from St. Paul and the east.—Stillwa- ter Gazette, 26th. Charles Weltand, who is quoted by The New York Times as part owner in a glue factory at Carrollsville, Olmsted County,.Minn., has just been married in New York to Helen Piepenhagen, who arrived from Ger- many last Saturday. Weiland had come from the west to meet her. Weiland came to America a year ago, and had $8 when he reached Carrolls- ville. He and his present wife were engaged in Germany, and he was to send for her when he got enough money. He says he went to work in a glue factory as night engineer, and that his prospects of sending for his Intended bride were not rosy. One night, while he was on duty, a tramp entered and asked for some money, offering in return a lottery ticket. Weiland gave him $1 for it, and two weeks later found he had won a good prize. He did not say how much, but he invested it in the glue factory and says he is comfortably well off. He says he could obtain $50,000 for his interest.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. when this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine oases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any arse of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. Sold by druggists 75c. F. J.

MANY USES FOR JUNK THE LAND OF GRAVES. HOW WORNOUT AND DISCARDS METAL IS UTILIZED. D scant Reminder■ of Death. To the Egyptian death was but the beginning of a career of adventures and experiences compared with which the most vivid emotious of this life were tame. He lived with the fear of death before his eyes. Everything around him reminded him of that dreadful initiation Into the mysteries of the tremendous after life for which his present existence was but a preparation. His cemeteries were not hidden away in remote suburbs; his dead were not covered with mere grassy mounds or a slab of stone. The whole land was his graveyard; its whole art was of the mortuary. "Are there no graves in Egypt that thou has brought us into the wilderness to die?' asked the Israelites in derision, and we may believe that Moses winc- ed at the sarcasm. Egypt is the land of graves, and the whole energy of the people, that could ' be spared from keeping life together, was devoted to death. The mightiest tombs in the world—the pyramids -- Ancient Egyptians Believed In Con - Old Horseshoes May Reappear as Ma- sers, and Battered Kitchen Stoves May Go Up In Skyscrapers -Lucky Finds In the Jnnkshops. The other day I wandered into a large yard containing great heaps of scrap iron and old metals of different kinds. Workmen were sorting out the masses of rusty, misshapen and tan- gled metals, each of which evidently had its particular value in the market. I wondered what became of all the castaway metal and what peculiar transformations it underwent. In seek- ing some information on the point from the proprietor of the place he . said: "This business doesn't look as If it possessed any elements of interest, ed ucational or romantic, and yet it has something of both of these. Now there's an old horseshoe. It may shave a Mongolian in China, though what a Mongolian has to shave I don' clearly see. Of course it will be con- verted first into a razor. I ship large quantities of these wornout horseshoes and wagon tires to the Celestial king - to be worked up into razors, knives and other useful domestic arti- cles. The Chinaman engaged in this particular industry gets 12 cents a day for his labor. These horseshoes and wagon tires are wrought iron and are preferred to other forma of this metal, because they are the most conveniently handled. "When you go across the bridge to the borough of Manhattan, you proba- bly notice some of the new 20 or 30 story buildings going up there and the big Iron columns and girders used in their construction. You probably think that those columns and girders are all new metal, but it is likely that they are not. They are scrap iron, pure and simple, or may be mixed with some new ore in the melting and recasting of the scrap metal In the foundry or rolling mill where all the scrap goes. Your discarded kitchen stove may re- appear in one of the columns or gird- ers of a skyscraper. The owners of these lofty buildings may think they are getting new iron material and may pay for it. but they are probably not getting it. Perhaps there isn't much difference in the durability of the re- cast metal and the new. "When you are riding in a trolley car, you may reflect that the metal in the axles of the wheels and in the railroad tracks may have formerly served in stove grates. Such are some of the new forms and uses which scrap metal assumes. "We dealers alight upon some strange finds among the old metal which we gather. I have at home six solid bronze plaques, as one of this class of finds, which I wouldn't take $75 for. I've also got at home an iron and bronze aquarium, another of these pe- culiar discoveries, which I wouldn't part with for $50. "It is curious to think how such valu- able articles get into such poor com- pany as scrap iron. Perhaps the orig- inal owners carelessly permit them to get mixed up with some old junk which they disposed of to the junk- man who brings his collection of stock to us, or perhaps they deliberately throw them away through simple weariness of their possesion. Then, again, the articles may possibly be stolen and sold to the junkman. "There are other interesting finds we meet with in our business. Not only the common but the finer metals, such as jewelry and silverware, fall into our hands. Possibly you've heard your wife remark one day that there was a silver spoon missing, and she might suspect that the servant has stolen it. But the truth is the spoon has acci- dentally gone astray and passed un- noticed into the aah can or garbage tub and in the course of time, possibly, we pick it up out of the dumps. Many a spoon, knife and fork with Tiffany's or Benedict's stamp on it I have bought at Barren island after being taken out of these dumps. Other stray waifs in this class which I have gath- ered from the Barren island dumps are silver pocketknives and match- boxes, gold and silver thimbles and curt button%, gold rings and a ladies' gold purse whit's I sold for $20 as old gold. Some time sego a ring with a transparent stone was picked out of the dumps. A business rival of mine just got ahead of me in the purchase of the ring, which he got for $10. The stone proved to be a genuine diamond, and the purchaser got $250 for the ring. It looked like a ladies' engage- ment ring and,the sympathetic thought struck me that its possibly fair owner was at that moment suffering unim- aginable distress at its loos. "So you see," continued the dealer, "there are a few interesting and some- what romantic features associated with our very prosy looking business," v -Brooklyn Citizen. Caring a Cald. To feed a cold and starve a fever Is a dangerous maxim. At the filet sign of a cold the patient ought to take a rapid hot bath in a warm, well venti- lated room, then remain revered in bed, with hot water at the feet, for several hours. Darken the windows, court sleep, and fast, save only from drinking warm broth or gruel, until unpleasant symptoms subside. Nor should there be mental or physical exertion. Then all the vitality can go to restoring circulation and throwing off that waste material which, retain- ed, is absolute poison. To eat -in this condition is to add the proverbial straw to the camel's back.—Good Housekeeping. _ were raised upon the deaths of multi- tudes of toiling slaves. The bills were honeycombed passages and galleries, chambers, pits, all painfully excavated in honor the illustrious dead, and sculptured acid painted witb elaborate skill to make them fit habitations for his ghost. Wherever he looked the Egyptian beheld preparations for the great turn- ing point of existence. The mason was squaring blocks for the tomb chamber; the potter molded images of the gods, or bowls and jars, to be placed in the grave for the protection or refreshment of the Ka, exhausted with the ordeals of the under world; the sculptor and painter were at work upon the walls of the funeral cham- ber, illustrating the scenes through which the ghost was to pass, or de- picting the industrious life of the de- parted. The very temples which cluster along the levels beside the Nile were, In a sense, but vestibules to the tombs in the hills behind. The sacred lake, now the weedy, picturesque haunt of water- fowl, was then the scene of solemn ferryings of the dead. The temple walls were covered with the terrors of the judgment to come. The houses of the living, indeed, were built of per- ishing mud, but the homes of the demi and the shrines where supplication was made to the gods who ruled their fate were made to last forever. On these all the strength, the science and the artistic skill of the ancient Egyp- tians were cheerfully lavished.—Sat- urday Review. THE EXPERT BUTCHER. One of His Accomplishments the Ability to Cut Off the Right Weight. It is his business, of course, and he becomes expert at it, as any man might in any work, but the customer who pays any attention to It at all Is sure to be interested nevertheless In the accuracy with which the butcher cuts off just the required amount of meat. Whether it is two pounds of steak, or four pounds of chops, or six pounds of corned beef, it's all the same to him. He cuts without long dwelling upon where to set the knifes. He slices away sort of casuallike and plies the saw and lays the meat on the scales, and it does not weigh more than a quarter or a half pound from the weight required on even the heaviest pieces, and on the lighter pieces he comes within an ounce or two or hits it tight on the nail. A man, for instance, goes into a butcher shop and asks for three and a half or four pounds of, say, corned beef. The butcher gets a big piece out of the pickle, lays it on s block and picks up a knife, and, without the slightest hesitation, with one strong, smooth sweep cuts off a piece, which he lays on the scales. It weighs three pounds and three-quarters. It is in weight exactly midway between the limits set. The expert butcher gets his ability to do this, naturally enough, from good judgment, to start with, backed up by long experience, but when he cuts things as close as this even the customer familiar with his skill looks upon him as a wizard.—New York Sun. Teo Pet to HxtI*guish. A well known Mississippi farmer will have cause to remember his recent visit to Memphis. He stopped in a well known cafe, and among other things ordered a sirloin steak. A bottle of ta- basco sauce was on the table, and mis- taking it for catchup he spread it quite lavishly on the steak and settled down to enjoy the meal. He cut off a bi; piece, but no sooner had it strnekc his mouth than he began to feel like hit ipngue was on fire. He twisted and reed, and soon had the eyes of every one in the dining hall fastened on him. The more he twisted and screwed his face the hotter the steak in his mouth got. He didn't know what was the matter. He could stand it no longer and reaching up his band he jerked oul the burning bite, threw It on the flo..r and in a very dramatic way exclaimed, "Now, hang you, blaze!"—Memphis Scimitar. Cold Water as a stimulant. According to a high authority, cold water is a valuable stimulant to many if not all neople. Its action on tha heart Is more stimulating than brandy.

NOVEMBER 11. 1899, (`SHOVING THE QUEER." j The Graceful Way In Which Coun- terfeiters Paas Their Prodnot. "Counterfeit money 'shovers' form a1 distinct class of criminals," said an old federal officer. "They have nothing to do with making the 'queer,' but simply put it in circulation. They go about their work very systematically and re- duce the chances of detection to a mini- mum. "A woman shover, for example, starts out to unload on the big retail stores. Her dress is quiet, but elegant. and she has the surface appearance of a refined lady. In her hand is a pocket- book containing one bad bill and a number of good ones. She goes into a store, makes some trifling purchases. tenders the counterfeit and pockets the change. As she passes out she brush- es against a boy, who slips her anoth- er queer bill and then drops hack a few paces in the crowd. "In that way she makes the rounds, and if she understands her business she cau get rid of an astonishing num- ber of counterfeits in the course of a few hours. If the bill she offers 1s de- tected on the spot, she never attempts any argument. 'Dear me!' she ex- claims. 'I wonder if I have any more of the horrid things!' And thereupon she empties her pocketbook on the counter and asks the clerk to examine the money and see whether it is all right. "In 09 cases out of 100 that disarms suspicion at once. If she happens to be arrested, only one bill is found in her possession, and there Is nothing to disprove her assertion that she receiv- ed it somewhere in change. Meanwhile the boy who carries the roll quietly disappears. Often he sells newspapers as a blind. 'Have a paper, miss?' he will cry and hands the shover a bill under the folded sheet. Altogether it is a highly skilled trade. The upper class shovers are very seldom caught." —New Orleans Times -Democrat. A COLONY OF YONSONS. Many of That Name In Business In a Wisconsin Town. "Up in the central part of Wiscon- sin," said a Chicago traveling man who had got tired talking about the trusts, "there is a town that is inhabited al- most exclusively by 'Yonsons.' The name of the man who keeps the hotel is 'Monson,' the drug store on the cor- ner is owned by a man named 'Yon - son,' the proprietor of the establish- ment that uses our goods is a Mr. 'Yonson,' and I noticed wben I was riding up town from the station that the grocer and the butcher were both 'Yonsons.' . "'What's the matter here? I said to the bus driver. 'Haven't you any peo- ple in this town who don't belong to the "Yonson" family?' "'Fall, Ay tank dare been von or two,' he replied. "'What's your name?' I asked. "'Yonson,' he replied. "I was about to make some further inquiries as to the 'Yonson' family, but at that moment we passed the pub- lic laundry, and, looking at the square, red sign above the door, I read: "'Yip Yonson, Laundry.' "Inside the Chinaman who owned the concern was busy ironing and per- mitting his pigtail to hang down hie back. I sin almost convinced now that some of those 'Yonsons' are frauds."—Chicago Times -Herald. Bathing and Nose Blowing. A number of people come home from the seaside quite deaf, and very many, If not deaf, are much harder of hearing than when they left home. The cause of this is blowing the nose after bath- ing. Of course one blows his nose because there is some salt water in it, which makes him uncomfortable. This water he forces into the little eustachian tube that runs from behind the nose to the ear. Here the water remains for days, and the particles of salt set up infiam- matlon. The next step is that the eu- stachian tube gets blocked and remains more or less so permanently, causing partial deafness. You should always wait some time after your bath before blowing your nose, and then you should do it gently. Shrewd Advice. The virtues of a keen business man are often negative rather than posi- tive. It is said that a great broker once told his son that only two things were necessary to make a great finan- cier. "And what are those, papa?" the son asked. "Honesty and sagacity." "But what do you consider the mark of honesty to be?" "Always to keep your word." "And the mark of sagacity?" "Never to give your word." In Thea All. "Nobody•ever accused me of being a politician out of a job," said Senator Sorghum blandly. "No," answered the guileless person who takes everything literally. "It was only the other day that. I heard some one saying you came pretty near being mixed up in every job that came along."—Washington Star. Not Iaelnded. Featherstone—Come, Bobbie (hand- ing him a quarter), how many fellows have called on your sister this week? Bobble—Let's see—five. "That doesn't include me, does it?" Oh, no! Sister says you don't count."—Brooklyn Life. A landlord can always raise the rent. "Slow, but sure," Is a good motto, That is more than many of his ten- jut why not be quick and surel— ants can do.—Philadelphia Times Washington Democrat. SHE WAS YOUNG. And There Were Many, Many Things She Did riot Know, "One thing is certain," an affianced maid announced, with decision, on the eve of her wedding—"my husband shall never call me 'mamma.' He may call me Clara or Mrs. Richards or even 'Say,' but I shall never be called 'mam- ma.' It is a horrid, impersonal name." We mammas who heard her only smiled and answered nothing at all, for each of us remembered that she was young and that there were many, many things that she did het know. She did not know that when the sweetheart had changed to the wife and the wife to the mother there comes a wondrous first time. That first time that she feels the downy head nestling under her chin, that first time that she feels the restless pat, pat of little feet as she vainly tries to prison them In her hand, she learn then that her life has burst into a new and wonderful fullness. In her heart there is kindled the fire of love, and the incense that arises from it glorifies the whole at- mosphere, and the warmth envelops her and her baby in an everlasting mantle. Then in the dim light she sees bend- ing over her the one that she loves hest of all, and she reaches out her hand to him to draw him near, that he, too, may come within the enchanted circle; that he, too, may breathe the sacred incense and be warmed by the heaven- ly fire. Laying his hand In hers, they look together Into the new little face, but no word comes to express the strange sweet feelings that are surg- ing through them both until, bending close to her, he softly whispers, "Mam- ma" It is a baptism. All the sweet, in- tangible things that have been filling her being have been caught and held in that word. The world may teem with mammas, but the name to her has a new and sacred meaning. Other names have been given her, other prom- ises have been made In the giving and in the taking, but nothing so tender, so strong, so sweet as this, and her whole being goes out in a silent prom- ise to live up to the sacredness of that name.—Woman's Home Companion. SEASICK ON SEA LEGS. Officers and Sailors of the Navy Fre- quently Distressed. "The officers and sailors of the navy are frequent sufferers from seasick- ness, even afterley have got their sea legs on," obset%red a naval surgeon to a reporter. 4/hsd I think I can safely say that, young and old, one- third of the entire navy officers as well as men are seasick during storms as well as at other times. In theory naval officers and sailors are entirely free from such so called weakness, but, in fact, they have stomachs and are suf- ferers at times the same as the rest of humanity. "The sailor in this respect has many advantages over the naval officers and is less sensitive to seasickness for the reason that he seldom has what is called shore duty to perform, and he is on the ship all the time, barring the days off now and then of liberty. When an officer, It is entirely different, for he seldom has to spend as much time on the ship as he does on shore. The three years' sea duty are generally followed by three years' shore duty, during which time his sea legs and stomach entirely disappear and have to be built up again. "It is rare that an officer on return to sea duty does not have to go through all the painful and distressing experiences of bis first seasickness, and I am not sure but each recurrence of this experience is worse than tht orlglnaL I have known a dozen offi- cers of from 15 to 25 years' experience in the navy, and 1 know of at least 50 others who admit that they are as lia- ble to seasickness now as they were when they were middies fresh from the Naval academy."—Washingtor Star. Fourteen Mistakes. An English paper gives a list of what it terms "the 14 mistakes of life." While there are undoubtedly oth- er mistakes than those mentioned, the list is a fairly comprehensive one. It is a great mistake to set up our own standard of right and wrong and judge people accordingly; to measure the enjoyment of others by our own; to expect uniformity of opinion in this world; to Inok for judgment and ex- perience in youth; to endeavor to mold all dispositions alike; to look for per- fection in our own actions; to worry ourselves and others with what can- not be remedied; not to yield in imma- terial matters; not to alleviate all that needs alleviation as far as lies in our power; not to make allowances for the infirmities of others; to consider every- thing impossible that we cannot per- form; to believe only what our finite minds can grasp; to expect to be able to understand everything. And the last and greatest mistake of all is to live for time alone, when any moment may launch us into eternity. Sure He Was Irish. "Why do you think this man who almost drove over you was Irish?'

A Hill Poster's Trick. "Of course we used to put up small bills wherever they'd catch the eye," said a bill poster who traveled with a circus making one day stands, "and one thing we used to do that always pleased folks was to hang a bill from a ceiling. You had to have a wooden ceiling, to start with, and then all you wanted, besides the bills, was a tack riled a silver dollar. It took practice to do it, but when you'd got the knack it was very simple and easy. "You attached two bills together, one at the foot of the other so that it would hang down when the first one was at- tached to the ceiling. Then you folded the bills up, with a tack, thrust point upward through the top fold of the up- per bill, with a silver dollar under it, up against its head and between it and the other folds of paper under It. "Then, some time when the room was full of people—this might be a hotel of- fice orerhaps a barroom—you tossed the bills up, and there was weight enough In the dollar to drive the tack into the ceiling far enough to hold. Then the weight of the paper itself and of the dollar would open the bills out, and the coin would drop and you'd catch it as It fell, and the chances are that not one man in five would see it fall. The bills would be seen, fasten- ed up there somehow, most of the peo- ple wouldn't know how, and opening out with the lower bill, banging so you could read it. "This was not the greatest thing In bill posting ever was, but, as 1 said be- fore, always pleased folks."—New York Sun. Very Curious Weather, At Alto Crucero water freezes every night of the year and the thermometer frequently falls to 6, 8 and 10 degrees below zero. There are no facilities for artificial heat—not even a fireplace— and people keep themselves warm by putting on ponchos and other extra wraps. At noonday the sun is intensely hot, because of the elevation and the rarity of the atmosphere,and blisters the flesh of those who are not accustomed to it. There is a difference of 20 and some- times 30 degrees in the tenfperature of the shade and the sunshine. Water will freeze in the shade while 20 feet away men may be working In their shirt sleeves. The natives seem to be entirely inured to cold and go about barefooted and barelegged over the ice and the stones indifferently without regard to the temperature; but they have a way of heaping the olankets on their heads and wrapping up their faces to keen the pure air out of their throats and nostrils.

Board For His Poems. "Yes, 1 find it extrnniely difficult to make my living by my pen," said the poet. "Difficult!" exclaimed his friend. "You mean impossible, 1 presume." "No, I do not," replied the poet. "1 amain the habit of saying precisely what I mean, and when I say diffi- cult I mean just that and nothing more." "You don't mean to say that you have ever earned anything by your literary work?" "Indeed I do," answered the poet. "I once got six months' board for some poems." "Who did you sell them to?" "My landlady." "What on earth did she want with a lot of poems?" "I don't know that she wanted them particularly, but I left them in my box when I went away, and there was nothing else in sight. They were good poems, too, but I couldn't sell them." The Stumbling Block. A member of the Mug House club who had failed to win a fortune on the turf decided to go into Wall street to tackle easier game. "On the turf," he explained, "a man has exactly 27 chances against him in a field of ten horses. In other words, he has one chance in 28 to hit a winner. Now, in Wall street stocks go one of two ways — either up or down— giving a man one chance in two. It looks like a dead open and shut. I'm going to make it pay.

Morestin, a Russian surgeon, who had been treating a woman for recurring abscesses, announced the recovery of his patient the other day. He had removed from her a pair of physician's hemostatic forceps, four inches long, which had been acciden- tally sewed up in her body four years before. Said a New York physician: "A short time ago an up country doctor came to the city to be operated upon for the re- moval of the vermiform appendix, al- though I understand he never had ap- pendicitis. He did not improve after the operation, and one night be died. There was an autopsy, and it was found that a sponge had been sewed up in him. Yet I have known of many forceps, clamps and other metal instru- ments to be forgotten and left in pa- tients, and the latter get well. "Sponges are bad. From their very nature they become collecting agents and soon poison the body. The smooth metal objects, on the other hand, are apt to work their way into the all- mentary tract, and then they soon pass away.

P., who acted as chairman, asked the reason of the pro- posed transformation, and was inform- ed that the applicant owned another Duke of York, some distance off, a fact which was liable to cause confusion in business. The admiral, however, con- sidered It discourteous to the brave old Duke of York to put a panther in his place. Eventually the application was refused. A similar fate attended the request to change the name of a house from The Royal Oak to The Radstock, Ad- miral Field urging that Lord Rad - stock, as an eminent philanthropist and Christian man, might justifiably object to his name being thus taken in vain, and the justices, perhaps out of regard for French susceptibilities, also rejected an application to change the sign of The Alma tavern to that of The Fashoda.—London Telegraph. The Food We Need. Dr. Pavy, one of the most eminent authorities upon diet, says that the average man in a state of absolute rest can live on 16 ounces of food a day, a man doing ordinary light work can live on 28 ounces and a man doing labori- ous work needs from 26 to 30 ounces. This is food absolutely free from wa- ter, and it must be remembered that everything we eat contains more or less water, so that from 48 to 90 ounces of ordinary food are necessary accord- ing tothe work in which a man is en- gaged. A Lively dame. Get a large sheet or tablecloth and a small feather. Have the company take hold of the edges of the sheet and form a ring. Then some one blows the feather into the air and all must do their part to keep it in the air and not let it touch any one, and so it is blown from one side to another, while the ef- forts made to keep it floating are very funny. Sometimes, in the excitement of keeping the feather up, some one will forget all about holding the sheet up, and then more excitement and fun follow. Announcing a Birth. In some parts of Holland a birth is announced by fastening a silk pin- cushion on the doorknob. If the pin- cushion is red, the baby is a boy, and if white a girl.

Calomet Baking N:YZE Powder ..i, The Advantage In Gambling. "In all gambling games," said an old time sport, "there is a percentage in favor of the Mouse.' Anybody, ex- cept a born fool, knows that a man couldn't afford to equip an establish- ment, hire help, pay rent and defray all the hundred and one incidental ex- penses unless he derived a profit that was based on some fixed principle and not dependent on mere luck or chance. Just where the profit comes in, howev- er, is something that very few people understand. Most of them imagine It is derived from some slight advantage in the arrangement of the game, such as the 'zero' numbers to roulette or the 'splits' in faro, but they are very much mistaken. It really depends on a prin- ciple that applies to all games alike and might be termed the 'percentage of capital.' "Strange as it may seem, I could take a capital of $1,000 and begin pitching nickels, in which the chances are .per- fectly even, letting the players guess either way they wanted to, and I would make a steady profit day in and day out. The secret is this: The average player has only a limited amount of money, and a slight run of bad hick wipes him out. He Is obliged to quit, and somebody else takes his place, while the house keeps right on through good luck and bad, continually swell- ing its reserve with the cash of the broken players. That principle of the percentage of capital is at the bottom of the profits of every gaming house in the world from Monaco to Long Branch."—New Orleans Times -Dem- ocrat. He Scored on Lincoln. In 1858 Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas bad a joint debate on the college grounds of Knox college, Galesburg. It was a great meeting, and I shall never forget the tremen- dous enthusiasm that was manifested by the respective partisans of each of these -great mer.. Mr. Donglaa bed tho opening and conclusion, and he got in one shot on Mr. Lincoln that was so pat that even the adherents of that gentleman bad to join in the laughter. Mr. Lincoln, in the course of his re- marks, twitted his opponent with mak- ing only one speech—a set oration which be delivered to each new audi- ence, the suggestion being that he was incapable of changing his stock ad- dress. In reply Mr. Douglas said that be ad- mitted the charge, and conceded that his rival knew in advance what he was going to say. He wished that he could foretell with the same exactness what Mr. Lincoln was going to say, but alas! that was impossible, since be changed his argument to suit his audiences, making a fierce abolition talk in com- munities where that sentiment was strongly entertained, as at Galesburg, but in southern Illinois ignoring aboli- tion and standing up squarely as an old time Whig. A Good Natured Dog. ' A very ordinary looking farm horse harnessed to an old wagon stood by the curb, and on the board that served for a seat lay a small dog of such mixed blood that no guess could be made as to his breed. As a delivery wagon passed on the opposite side of the street a large red apple fell off. Before it stopped roll- ing the dog bounded across the street, picked it up with his teeth and with tall wagging rushed back to the horse, in front of which be stood up on his hind legs while the apple was taken from his mouth. As the horse munched the apple he made the peculiar little noise that horses make when petted, and doggie replied with throaty little barks which plainly told what a pleasure it had been to go after that apple. Then he went back to his nap on the wagon seat.—Burlington Free Press. Sow It Happened. "Poor fellow! I fear he was •badly !-•art.., "He was."

Pope, public examiner, has finally admitted that he drew the $500 belonging to the Mankato library and used it in his private busi- ness, but now claims that he shortly afterwards loaned it to J. A. Willard, who died in baukruptcy several years ago. This attempt to shield himself at the expense of one not able to set ups a defense is worse than the origi- nal transaction. The current im- pression seems to be that the 1500 was applied as part payment on a 15,000 note of Pope's, held by the bank of which Mr. Willard was presi- dent, and indorse,] by him. The lat- ter was not then in need of small loans, while the doughty general was shinning around trying to bolster up an insolvent manufacturing company named after himself, and of about as little account. Mr. Pope now offers to pay the interest provided it is cal- led a vindication: The fact, however, remains that had it not been for the expert examination of the city books at Mankato the 1500 would never have been heard of. Misappropria- tion is the polite terhn for it. The fiftieth anniversary of the Min- nesota Historical Society will be celebrated in the hall of the house of representatives, St. Paul, next Wednesday. The afternoon session will begin at half past two, with ad- dresses by Gov. John Lind, Alex- ander Ramsey, W. G. LeDuc, N. P. Langford, the Right Rev. H. B. Whipple, and C. E. Flandrau. The evening session will begin at eight, with addresses by J. S. Pillsbury, Cyrus Northrop, Senator C. K. Davis, Senator Knute Nelson, and J. H. Baker. A general invitation is ex- tended. The report of the United States land commissioner shows that Minne- sota leads all the other states in securing swamp lauds from the gener- al government, over oue hundred and ten thousand acres having been patented during the past year. There are still upwards of three mil- lion acres of vacant land in Minne- sota, besides two millions unsurveyed. The semi -centennial number of The St. Paul Pioneer Press was issued Thursday, a mammoth edition of six- ty pages, well filled with special articles, cuts of early and modern buildings, old settlers, etc., and in- teresting reminiscences of the pioneer days of Minnesota. A copy should be filed away for future reference. It can be obtained of any newsdealer. The state elections on Tuesday indi- cate a popular support of the admin- istration in its policy of annexation. The republicans have carried every- thing that could reasonably be ex- pected, and have gained Kentucky as an offset to Maryland. For an off year it is a decikive victory. The report of Edward O'Brien, state weighmaster, for the crop year ending Sept. lst, shows two hundred and two thousand, two hundred, and ninety-three cars of grain weighed, at an expense of $57,443.68. Re- ceipts 134,485.41; deficit $22,958.27. The Pillsbury -Washburn mills in Minneapolis are to pay a dividend of four per cent os the common stock, the first time in eight years. The preferred stock receives its usual quota of eight per cent. This has been a good year for milling. Gen. C. Mc C. Reeve was dined by about twenty officers of the Thirteenth Regiment in Minneapolis on Wednes- day evening. If he had waited for the.privates to furnish the grub he would probably have gone hungry for some time to come. Alphonse Barto, lieutenant gov- ernor in 1874-5 and prominent in masonic and grand army circles, died at St. Cloud on Saturday of paralysis, aged sixty-five years. The district court of Ramsey County holds that a witness is not obliged to appear only on the days for which his fees have been paid in advance. The republicans made a clean sweep at the city election in Stillwater on Tuesday, electing their candidates for aldermen in each of the three wards. The Minneapolis lumbermen esti- mate the total cut of their mills this year at five hundred and fifty million feet, the largest on record. Mrs. J. S. Pillsbury, of Minneapo- lis, has given $100,000 to the Home for Children and Aged Women, of which institution she is president. W. W.

Barrett, Cor- rigan, Wescott, Chapdelaine, and Deslauriers attended a turkey raffle at Pieroux Saturday evening. Over a week ago, as Fred Rienke a farmer, was attempting to cross the tracks on the lower crossing at Wes- cott, his team was struck by the east bound passenger, due at that place at 7:46 p. in., and instantly killed. Rienke was apparently unhurt, but fearing some internal injury he was taken to Farmington, where medical aid could be secured. He returned home, however, perfectly sound in body and limb, to all appearances, and remained so up to Fleiday, when it was learned that he- had taken his bed, and was suffering from some internal trouble, resulting from the accident. Rienke says the engine did not whistle, and people on the track and road confirm the story. COMFORTED. I sat one eve in the twilight, At the close of a weary day, . Thinking o'er plans that were blighted. O'er hopes that had all gone estray. And my heart was sad and dreary. As I mused on a past once bright. And thought how the future it promised, Had become as dark as night. When a whisper, soft and gentle, Stole o'er my troubled mind, "Lo, I am with you alway, With you and all mankind." And I lifted my eyes to Heaven, And thanked the Father above, For his presence, rare and holy, For his cheering message of love. STONIE. An officer named J.H. Randall was struck on the head with a poker by C. B. Wing at Albert Lea on Sat\- day while attempting to remove a son to the small pox hospital, from the effects of which he died on Monday. Ten persons were injured at the Phcenix building in Minneapolis on Monday by the fall of an elevator car. One will probably die, and several others were seriously hurt. Gray with Age. A decision has just been handed down by the United States supreme court in a case which some time ago attracted, considerable attention, but which at the present time is of no particular value except as it shows the delay of the law in important matters. The original contestants in the case are not now interested in the decision, and one of the attorneys who appeared in the case has been dead several years. Readers will re- call having read in these columns from time to time two or three years ago a story of a contest for a mill site at Thief River Falls between the Meehan brothers and R. W. Jones and others. This mill site was just above the site of the Meehan's old mill and just below the junction of the Thief River and Red Lake River. This site was the property of an old Chippewa chief named Mon-si-mah, or in plain English Moose Dung. The Meehans claimed a deed from this old Indian to the land on which the site was situated, and Mr. Jones and his partners claimed a better deed from the same old fellow. Each claimed a prior deed, and the settlement of the case was referred to the interior department, and finally was taken before the United States court. It had to go finally to the su- preme court, the arguments having been made some two years ago. It was not until this week that the deci- sion walk handed down, it being in favor of the Meehan's title. To show the results of the law's delay it is in- teresting to note that the original contestants in the case are now noi, very much interested in the decision. The Meehans have sold out their mill privileges in Thief River Falls, and R. W. Jones and his compeers have established a fine saw mill business at Frazee, and probably no one will ever care to build a saw mill on this con- tested site.—Mississippi Valley Lum- berman. Empire Ite Mrs. J. A. S. Kirk vishit j1Iher sis- ter near St. Cloud last week. Mrs. John Chrystal, who has been quite ill of late, is able to be up in bed. Miss Fannie Bradford began her school inSouthHampton last Monday. School in District 38 began last Monday, with Miss Maggie Callaghan as teacher. Steve Harrington gave a dancing party to his many friends last Fri- day evening. The people of Empire and Vermil- lion gave Mr. and Mrs. George Klaus a general surprise in their new home last Friday evening. The company arrived about half past eight, and were heartily welcomed by the bride and groom. They soon proceeded to take possession of the house in- an basy manner. The evening was very pleasantly spent in music and games, followed by a sumptuous supper of sandwiches, cheese, pickles, coffee, and various kinds of cake provided by the part•. The bride's cake, cut by the bride, was a feature of the evening. She then brought forth one of their wedding cakes, and each were given a slice to take home. A few well chosen gifts were left the youn couple to remind them of their first house warming. The Successful Merchants. The St. Charles Uuion in its last issue reads the merchants of that place the riot act because they do not advertise, but let the Rochester mer- chants, who do patronise the St. Charles papers, get a large percentage of the business of the place. St. Charles merchants as a class are not unlike those of any other community. Some of them are liberal advertisers, and as a consequence get the bulk of the business. Others "don't believe in it" because the papers are never read," and they are the ones who are usually complaining about "the hard times." That advertising does pay, no business man of any sagacity will deny. One has but to count the mer- chants of Rochester who are doing a thriving business, who command the best trade, and whose sales are con- stantly increasing, to discover who are the ones who patronize the news- papers. The others about hold their own from year to year, or eventually go under. - It is a well established fact that a business that isn't worth advertising isn't worth having, and that a business man who doesn't be- lieve in advertising is a pretty poor business man. The merchant who gets there these days is the one who keeps his store and stock up to date and tells the public about it early, late, Mad all the time.—Rochester Post and Record. Work on the insane hospitals at Hastings and Anoka is progressing satisfactorily. One will be ready to receive patients in January, and the other next spring. Some provision should be made for celebrating the event, with editors, fodd and Pease as frontispieces.—Taylor's Falls Jour- nal.

Newell returned to her home in Hastings to -day, after visiting with Mrs. W. M. Cline.— Red Wing Republican, 7th. A Dangerous Structure. An insurance. expert inspected the Lind insane asylum in Anoka I Wednesday, and to a Herald repre- sentative he stated that in his opin- ion the building was not constructed as it should have been except so far as the material and workmanship are concerned, both of which he pronounced excellent. In the first place the walls are too thin, being only twelve inches when they should be at least sixteen. The frame is also too light for .the building, and the finish being of pine adds another risk. The shingle roof is of course a menace, although the building is sat- isfactorily isolated. But the greatest danger will come from the total absence of fire walls or non-combus- tible partitions. It is an assured fact that if fire once gets well started in the building there will be no stopping it until it is totally consumed, and in all likelihood a nutufber of lives would unavoidably be lost. Of course no blame can attach to the board of managers, to the contractor, or to the architect. A certain num- ber of inmates had to be provided for, and the appropriation was so small that deficient buildings had, as a matter of course, to be erected. The governor is the primary cause of the mistake, for by his veto of the hospital bill he forced the legislature to pass the asylum law or leave a portion of the insane uncared for. It is sincerely to be hoped that no disaster will occur at either of the asylums during the next year; after that the incubus at the capitol will be removed, and the state's wards will receive the care and attention they deserve.—Anoka Herald. The Company E Reception. The reception given by the Military Band and ex -members of Company E to the Manila boys at Union Hall on Saturday evening was a very enjoya- ble and successful. affair. The early part of the evening was spent in cigars, talking, and card playing, and at eleven an elegant supper was served by J. A. Amberg, caterer. The banquet room was handsomely decorated with flags and shields con- taining the names of twelve battles, by W. C. King. C. S. Lowell offici- ated as toastmaster in a very efficient manner. The welcoming toast was by J. F. Moser, with response by L. D. Tucker, followed by The Thir- teenth in the Philippines, by J. H. Tucker; Patriotism of Two Genera- tions, by Capt. J. M. Tucker; Our Girls at Honkie and Over the Sea, by George Mahar; A Trip Overland through Japan by S. W. Tucker, dos- ing with America. There were about thirty-five present, and many pleasant memories are retained of a most de- lightful occasion. Our. Taxes.

Mrs. Oliver Hallberg was taken be- fore Judge Moran at Hastings Wednesday for examination, and pro- nounced sane. The woman is cer- tainly a subject for some state insti- tution. The state of affairs at her home is deplorable. The house is a mass of filth, she and the three chil- dren dress in rags, maggots crawl through the cupboards, and she be- haves more like a wild animal than a rational being. Two children that have been born within two years died of neglect and abuse, and her action certainly make her responsible to the criminal courts if she is not insane. Mr. Hallberg has tried all means to change the order of things, but with- out result. He cannot shut his eyes to the consequences of such influence over his children, who run wild like savages, half-dressed and filthy. Yet the probate court has determined that she is sane. The tragedies of the young babes perishing in the manner that they did have roused the horror and indignation of the neighborhood, and they demand that she be removed to the insane asylum; or, if sane, to some penal institution.—b'outh St. Paul Reporter.

Hans Jenson, one of the most suc- cessful potato growers in the county, raised about seven hundred bushels of choice Burbanks on his farm in Albert Lea township this year. Mr. Jenson plows his land three times be- fore planting, in the fall, first thing in the spring, and the last time just be- fore planting. In this way the ground is web worked up and loose. He is not afraid to use well, rotted manure on his potato land and be- lieves it does no damage. In plant- ing he puts them in checks two feet, six inches each / way, and cultivates the field as often as he can, not less than five or six times during the season. In this way he keeps the land mellow and in the best condition to produce a good crop of tubers.— Albert Lea Enterprise. 1 Have we been able to show as strong In and well made assortment of fall and i winter shoes made expressly for our About trade.

Only one hundred miles southeast of the fertile grain fields of Eastern Wash- ington, between the Clearwater and Sal- mon rivers, lies what was long known as the Nez Perces Indian country, only recently thrown open to settlement and mining. Since the early sixties, when $38,000,000 was wasbed out of the rich placers of the Clearwater and Salmon rivers, it has been a tradition among miners that some day great gold discover- ies would be made in the Nez Perces country. The enormous cost of transpor- tation, remotepess from civilization, and consequent impo..sibility of carrying on large mining operations left the rich quartz ledges—i.he mother lodes of the placers—untouched. Almost simultane- ously with the completion of the North- ern Pacific's Lewiston extension from Spokane came the announcement of the discovery in the Buffalo Hump range of immense ledges of gold bearing quartz which, cropping out above the surface, and twenty feet or more in width, extend in dit:erent directions for many miles. The rapid extension of the Clearwater Line of the Northern Pacific, now build- ing along that river from Lewiston, will soon throw this heretofore almost inac- cessible country open to capital, and modern machinery with American grit will do the rest. For fuller information and a new map of this region send a two cent stamp to Chas. S. Fee, St. Paul, Minn., or address any general or district passenger agent of the Northern Pacific Rail way.

The finishing touches upon this new and greatly needed place of amusement are being added this week in readiness for the opening on Mon- day evening, and those of our citizens who have looked the place over are delighted with the cosy, neat little hall. It occupies the second and third stories of the Yanz Block, cor- ner of Second and Ramsey Streets, and the entrance is in the annex, built this fall for that purpose. At the head of the broad and commo- dious stairway is thu ticket office, next the check room, with three dressing rooms behind, and at the other end of the large lobby is a ladies' parlor, looking cut upon the street. Two additional dressing rooms are down stairs, in the rear of the general business office. On the west of the lobby is the entrance to the auditorium and the stairway leading to the gallery. The dimen- sions of the hall are eighty-four by forty-one feet, with twenty-five feet ceiling. The Length of the parquette is forty-tw.p feet, the balcony and gallery sixteen feet. There are two hundred and fifty chairs in the par- quette, and one hundred and fifty each in the balcony and gallery. The depth of the stage is twenty-six feet, and it is supplied with modern fixtures and appliances. The curtain opening is twenty four feet. There is a box on either side of the stage, seating four persons each. The curtain is a wood scene, suggested by one of Tennyson's poems. In front of the stage is an orchestra circle six feet wide and twenty-four long, large enough to accommodate any traveling company. The interior of the hall is artistically finished in terra cotta, with trimmings of pea green and gilt. In the centre of the ceiling is a large octagonal dome, in the centre of which hangs an electric chandelier. There are two other ventilators, one over the gallery and one over the stage. The scenery comprises five drops, each fifteen by twenty-four feet. From the stage to the fly gallery is fifteen feet, six inches, to rigging loft twenty-one feet, four inches. There are fifty-six burners in the auditorium, three twenty feet border lights, and fifty- four lights in other parts of the building. W. J. Yanz is manager, and J. F. Stevens, stage manager.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining or the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deaf .ess is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. Sold by druggists 75o. F. J.

How Two Lovers Were Reunited at the Foot of the Cross. ••••••••••••••••••••!0•II The light of day had died from the foothills of the Mexican city of Jalapa as I mingled with the crowd walking leisurely toward the Plaza Granda to hear the Sunday evening band concert. stone at the foot of the cross as a prayer for the soul of him whose mor- tal' remains had rested there." Music interrupted him. And, as the last echoing refrain of "14 Paloma" was lost In the mountain air, I sat gazing at the cross. "Santa Maria will bless you, senor, for your interest.in the cross," he con- tinued, reverently crossing himself. - I inclined my head in response, and he related to me the following story: "Years ago, when this little city was but a village, there lived a family who used to raise vegetables for a neighbor- ing town. They had but one daughter, Jesita by name. Across the valley dwelt a stalwart young fellow named Leon. A friendship which grew into affection arose between the two. Often in -the evening they would wander through the valley by the side of yon- der stream or climb the ascent and watch the setting sun. "One day there passed through the valley a man burdened with the weight of his dead father. He stopped to rest and refresh himself. Upon continuing, 'be planted that cross on the side of the hill. From the door of her adobe home Jesita had observed the burden bearer make and plant the cross, so when Leon came that evening they For a moment the jollity ceased as the went up the mountain side to the ern - b brightly dressed senoritas and the gaylem and cast, with reverence, a stone • cavalleros came into the view of the at its foot." wooden cross which rose near the path Here his story was interrupted by the leading over the mountain against soft strains of music floating through whose bosom the little city nestled. the orange trees end mingling itself Each uttered a prayer while viewing with the gentle zephyrs heavy with the fragrance of the blossoming orange. the crucifix as it stood out agaiust the moonlit sky. Just behind us a little stream cheerily La eruz was the subject of much sang over the stones. comment by the senoritas as they The music ceased, and the relater walked around the plaza, and likewise continued: by the men, whose conversation was Often after this they wandered to the cross and would seat themselves varied by a few remarks upon a par- near Its projecting arms. 'Twas there ticularly striking mantilla worn by Leon told Jesita of his love for her, some young care. and there be met Jesita when she told "Why is every one so interested In the cross?"

Jesita watched him as he left her, thinking he might glance back as usual, but he did not. As she gazed after him tears dimmed her eyes, and sbe turned, seeing him no longer. "Darkness crept into the valley, clouds floated threateningly, and soon an occasional flash of lightning in the distance told of an approaching storm. Leon had not returned. The sky grew black, and the thunder rolled with a heavy resonance. The lowing winds rose, and all nature seemed to belch forth tire accompanied by the resound - Ing roar. The senorita's heart beat violently. She remembered she had spoken harshly to her Leon. The tears streaming down her beautiful face, she looked toward the cross into the now wild night As she did so a screeching clap of thunder broke forth, and the lightning rent the heavens, darting about the sacred cross, illumi- nating it as it stood against the sky. Horror struck itself deep into the girl's soul. She fell to the floor, then hastily arose and started out into the fierce night. She must find her Leon. He must forgive her for her wicked words against him." Again the sudden outburst of music interrupted us. Many senoritas passed by, and one smilingly bowed to my companion from behind her fan. He arose and responded profusely. The last sweet strain of the trio was lost, and as it died away it seemed to be absorbed by the moon illumined en- sign. The senor continued: "On she went, hastening toward the monumental cross. A mountain lion snarled dismally in the distance. He, too, had been caught in the storm. Half paralyzed with fear, groping her way in the darkness, she fell over an obstacle washed into the path by the rain. For a moment she lay where she fell and breathed a prayer, 'Santa Maria, protect my Leon and forgive me -forgive Inc.' Something crawled over her feet as she lay there. It was a snake disturbed by the torrents of water. She jumped up screaming, and as she did so the lightning played about the cross, illuminating again and again its every point. Just above it she thought she saw a dove hovering and heard its dismal mourn piercing the wildness of the night. Still the storm continued, venting its fury in the wild mountains. "When Leon had left Jesita's home, he had passed the cross and hastened over the mountain into the valley be- low. Not finding the cattle and see- ing the storm brewing, he started to return, but before he reached home the storm broke forth with terrific, violence. At each burst of thunder his heart was relieved. The lightning quieted his spirits, while the furious winds breathed baffled relief in his ear. At last he reached the summit of the mountain near the cross, when a flash of lightning illuminated the be- nighted darkness, displaying a horri- ble sight to Leon's view, for there on the stones at the foot of the cross was the figure of a woman lying, her hands about the base of the rough wooden emblem. He rushed forward as fast as he could In the darkness. There was a sudden lull in the storm, the quietude of which was oppressive. As he advanced his heart beats resound- ed in his ears. Again the lightning made vivid the black clouds. HIS blood writhed in his veins, for he stood before the cross. There lay the pros- trate figure embracing the great rough crucifix. It was Jesita. "'Me Caritir he ejaculated, rushing toward the dejected girl. Violently sobbing she looked up. He could see her ashy faee by the light of the flashes. "'Leon! Oh, forgive me -forgive me!' she sobbed, loosening one hand and reaching toward him. '"Let us go from here, Carita,' he said sadly. Assisting her to her feet, they started down the mountain side toward the girl's home. The roll of thunder gradually distanced itself, then grew less and less; the wind sobbed less dismally, and the lightning seemed but to furnish the two light for their pathway." The relator hesitated. Then pointing to the cross he continued: "Leon and Jesita were married by the good Fa- ther Moreno under this same cross on a holy Sunday years ago and lived happily and long in yon valley." After a moment's silence I asked, "How do you know the story so well, senor?" "Jesita is my mother," he answered, "and Leon, my father, leads this band." -St. Louis Star. Bathtub and Couch.

How Some of the Noted Men and Wo- men Who line Conquered the World of Letters Came to Invade the Domain of Fiction. There 1s au unfailing fascination in the story of the beginnings of brilliant carers, and especllilly of the careers of men,` and women who have con- quered the world of readers, and have won fame and fortune in the difficult pafli of letters. . One of the most successful of literary partnerships had its origin is a casual supper conversation at a Bohemian club. NValter Besant and James Rice, both young men of literary ambitions, were discussing one of Dickens' novels, when Rice said, casually: "If I give you the plot of a story, Besant, will you write it?" "I don't mind trying," Besaut answered; and within a few weeks the first of a brilliant series of novels was under way. Rider Haggard was reading for the bar in the early eighties with an eye on the woolsack, and no dream of the career in fiction that awaited him, when it occurred to him, as a recrea- tion from the dry bones of the law, to weave a story out of his South African experiences. To his surprise and de- light tiff story flowed fluently under his pen, and finally assumed ample shape as "The Witch's Head." That it was not a success mattered little; for it had shown him his true metier, and paved the way for "King Solo- mon's Mines," and all the gold they yielded. It was only when briefs resolutely declined to drift to his chambers that Anthony Hope Hawkins, a young bar- rister, in all the modified glory of an untarnished wig, turned his thoughts to the pen to while away the hours of waiting for solicitors' who -never came. It was thus that he wrote "A Man of Mark," which was rather suggestive of future distinction than productive of present profit. But fame came quicker than briefs after all, and his "Prisoner of Zenda," four years later, gave him all the start he desired. Grant Allen had wooed science to lit- tle pecuniary purpose for many years before he was tempted to stray into fic- tion. for which he never had much respect. Perhaps no one was as sur- prised ^ s h nself to Rr,i that he could write 1r,•-1,1cluitC us iie''eity as a sci- entitle treatise, and while "Physio- logical Aesthetics" brought him repute as a man of science, "Philistia" point- ed the way to gold, which in these days of stress is so much better. The science which he designed for a staff became a recreation, but his heart was in it rath- er than in Ms novels. _ M. Zola was tying up parcels in Hachette's publishing house when he was tempted to read one of Flaubert's novels. Much as the young packer was impressed with its cleverness, he thought he could write a novel quite as good, and he immediately set to work with the results known equally to the world and his bankers. It was the memory of his long tramps through the Australian bush that turn- ed Guy Boothby's thought to fiction. He had new material full of interest to the reading world. Why not present it in the marketable form of a novel? The suggestion took shape in "On the Wallaby," and the world knows what that led to. 'With Morley Roberts it was the saute. He had for many years led a Life of adventure, which was stranger than fiction, in every part of the world, and in all characters from cowboy to common seaman. It was easy from such rich material to weave the "West- eru Avernus," the first of his long se- ries of thrilling romances. Jerome K. Jerome's Bohemian life and stage experiences suggested to him the idea of his first venture in let- ters, "On the Stage and Off," as at least a variant from teaching, clerk's work and acting, which had made up his precarious existence for some years; and when Mr. Zangwill grew sick of teaching the three R's to young Jews. what more natural than, with his skill with the pen, he should weave a story of the "Children of the Ghetto," although this was not his first venture in literature? s Marie Corelli had no thought of fic- tion when she was training for the career of a musician and composer; and it was a strange psychical ex- perience that turned her thoughts to the pen and inspired her "Romance of Two Worlds," which took novel read- ers by storm. It was loneliness and weird inspira- tion of the South African veldt that impelled Olive Schreiner, a dreamy girl in her teens, to speak her thoughts on paper in "The Story of an African Farm." Mrs. Hodgson Burnett was only a schoolgirl, busy with her books, when a group of factory girls streamed past the window through which she was gazing. One of them, unlike the rest, a tall, striking girl, arrested her at- tention; and it was around this single figure, seen for a moment, that she wrote her beautiful story, "That Lass o' Lowrie's." Professor Green, the lovable Oxford tutor and author, was the inspiration of Mrs. Humphry Ward's "Robert Els- mere," in which he figures as the hero, Grey. But Mrs. W^td's first book, "Milly and 011y," was written for her own children. Miss Florence Marryat's first novel, "Love's Conflict," was written at the time of great trouble and suffering, and served the double purpose of dis- tracting her thoughts from her grief and pointing out a career that was to blew much compensating pleasure as well e8 profit. ONE'S OWN MANICURE. Hints In a Delicate and Necessary Art of the Toilet. An ill kept nail is a most unlovely object. It never looks quite clean, it 1s rough to the touch, catches in every- thing and often has the flesh growing gtJte up over the sides. There is a dullness about the look of the nail itself. It lacks polish and is much more apt to get scratched and show any marks thatthere may be upon it. The nails shohave as much care bestowed upon them as the hands themselves. To keep them In good tondition you should first pay a visit to a manicurist and have them put into proper order and make other visits at intervals frequent enough to keep them in good condition. But where a manicurist's service are not desired any one can keep the nails in perfect order by following a few simple direc- tions. You must first be careful that your hands are always' washed in warm soft water. Rainwater that has been first well - filtered and then boiled is excellent. Use a good, pure, scentless soap that suits your skin, and after making a thick lather of this with the water soak the. ends of the fingers in it for some few minutes. Then take an ivory or wood implement (one made of orange wood is the best to use) and gently press back the hard skin that grows at the bottom of the nail. This grows very quickly and unless kept back in its place will soon cover up the half tnoou that we see on the nail, and that is one of its chief beauties. The skin should,never be pressed hack unless it has first been well soaked in hot water and soap, as otherwise it will get broken and torn and look not only very ugly, but it will take weeks before it gets into proper condition again. Push the skin back so that it follows the curve of the nail. Then, while the hand is still soft and warm, cut the finger nails at the end to the length that you care to keep them at. This should be doue with a pair of very sharp nail scissors or a tiny knife. The nail should be cut quite smooth and even, and any feeling of roughness can.be smoothed away with a file kept for the purpose or a tiny eatery board. Your brushes should be stiff ones of various sizes and shapes, so as to get all dirt out from ,below the nail. If there is -any dirt under the nail that the brush does not remove, use a sharp pointed Ivory cleaner that is very fine and thin. As soonas your hands are dry rub over the nails a- specially prepared powder. The following recipe will be found to be a very useful one: Traga- canth powder, six grains; putty pow- der, four ounces, colored with a little rouge. .Then take a nail polisher that is coveted with chamois leather and polish the nails till all the powder has entirely disappeared. You will then have a high, clear, polished look on the nails. Then rub the hands well with a clean towel, so as to remove any pow- der that might be remaining behind, and your nails are finished for the day. Keep a fresh leucon always on your washstand and always plunge the ends of the fingers into it when your hands are still damp with washing. This will quite prevent the formation of agnails that some fingersseem so very much inclined to have. Honie Decoration In Winter. Artistic rooms are not those with surfaces of fiery red, yet in winter a touch of this strong color where it will not kill other tints or btu inharmonious with them will give an atmosphere of warmth and good cheer which without it are lacking. There are numberless shades and tints from which to select In the dad& of a portiere, in a sofa cushion, in . blossoming plants, let a small portion of red serve to focus the light and give it a species of visual ex- hilaration. Red, since it is the lowest and stron- gest vibration of any color of the spec- trum, must be by refined people cau- tiously used, yet it is, properly intro- duced, extremely valuable. As Emer- son says of "the red .cloaked clown." it "sings to the eye." The song is of sensuous warmth, of glowing sunshine. of space and air and luxuriance, all of which in winter are welcome sugges- tions, says Good Housekeeping. Fashionable Garnitures. Velvet and satin ribbons of very nar- row width and with white or light col- ored edges are much used on blouses and bodices, and both trimmings and separate motifs of sequins are made in scale or armeir fashion, showing only the closely massed sequins. Lace will be used throughout the winter, but in bold designs of duchess, luxeuil and renaissance and in deep ecru, saffron and beige tints. Velvet, both plain and fancy or in plaid designs, will be the fashionable material to combine with cloth and all woolen fabrics. and very handsome effects are obtained in tunic and apron skirts or in pinafore and bolero bodices. How to Fall Unhurt. "People wonder how an actress can fall on the stage without hurting her- self, but it is the easiest thing in the world," said an actress. "The great secret of falling is to re- lax. If you slip and fall some time when you do not wish to, if you can only remember to relax your muscles, you will be saved perhaps from a seri- ous injury. Children and drunken peo- ple fall relaxed." A STICK WITH A STORY. The Odd Office Which It Performed In a Gambling Den. "There's an odd little story connect- ed with this old cane," said a New Orleans sporting man the other day. "You will observe how heavy it is and how the ferrule comes down to a sharp point. It used to be carried by an old chap who was a well known character here back in the seventies. He had an interest In a very crooked gambling house. I won't hurt anybody's feel - lugs by mentioning the exact location, but it was a saying that you might se well slide your money under the door and walk off. It saved time. 'This old fellow I'm speaking of never operated any of the games, but was apparently a mere spectator. Hie business was to dispose of what were kuown technically as 'knockers.' A knocker was anybody who attempted to put a victim on his guard, usually a well meaning but officious friend. For example, a visitor would be playing at one of the games and his friend, look- ing ou, would smell a rat. As a rule he would feel it his duty to say some- thing, and such suggestions were nat- urally resented by the house. "When the old man would see a knocker about to knock he would hobble up, leaning heavily on his cane, and plant the ferrule, as if by acci- dent, squarely on the offender's foot. Such a prod would cause the victim excruciating agony, and he would im- mediately lose all interest in exposing fraud. While he was writhing and groaning the old fellow would over- whelm him with apologies and Insist upon his coming into the back room to get a drink. Meantime the other chap would be losing his money as fast as he could get It out. "There's no telling how much plunder this stick has been the means of securing. Its original owner bas been dead these many years, and I keep it as a curiosity."—New Orleans Times -Democrat. AN EFFECTIVE SERMON. A Trumpet Blast That Drove the Peo- ple to Repentance. A prominent Methodist churchman recently told the following story of old Peter Cartwright, the famous preacher and circuit rider of many years ago: The exhorter was holding a camp meeting in - Ohio. There was a great number of campers on the field, and the eccentric speaker addressed vast concourses at every service, but he thought too few were being converted. He felt that something should be done to stir the sinners to repentance, e0 he prepared a strong sermon on the second coming of Christ. He told how the world would go on in its sin and wickedness, and at last Gabriel would sound his trumpet and time would come to au end. He described the horrors of the lost and the joys of those who were saved. The sermon grew in intensity, and he brought his people up to a grand climax when sud- denly the sound of a trumpet smote the ears of the anxious throng. There was a great sensation, and many fell upon their knees in terror and began to repent and pray. Women screamed and strong men groaned; pandemonium was let loose for a few minutes. After the terror had some- what ceased the preacher called to a man up a tree and he descended with a long tin horn in his hand. The speaker then turned in fierce wrath and upbraided the people. He cried out in stentorian tones that if a man with a tin horn up a tree could frighten them so, how would it be in the last great end when Gabriel's trumpet sounded the knell of the world. The sermon had a great effect upon the vast audience, and many hundreds flocked to the front and were converted.—New York Tribune. Three Bites by a Shark. J. Morris and Loren Hill relate a pe- culiar experience with a tarpon and an immense shark near Punta Gorda. While they were playing a large tarpon a shark came up. and bit a half moon weighing about ten pounds out of the tarpon's belly. This killed the tarpon, but before it could be gaffed and pull- ed in the shark took out another half moon a size larger. As they were hauling the tarpon aboard the shark bit off the tail, equaling one-third the length and about one-fourth the weight of the fish. The part that was left over weighed 164 pounds. They beat the shark over the head with the oars. The fish would have been a record breaker and would have weighed about 220 pounds. The scales were preserv- ed and measured 31/2 by 41/2 inches, Hindoo Confectionery. Like the American girls, Hindoo girls are passionately fond of sweet things. One of their candies, sadu, is very much like our plain sugar candy. It is made of sugar and milk and fla- vored with attar of roses. Buddhika- bal, or hair of Buddha, is one of their Dost popular sweetmeats. It is so called because it is in line, long strings like vermicelli. This is made of sugar and cream from buffalo's milk, which is exceedingly rich. The women pass most of their time eating candy and gossiping.—Baltimore News. Her Own Prescription. Dr. Young --My dear, your throat de- mands better protection from the drafts of the opera house. Mrs. Young—Yes, darling; I ought to have a three rope pearl necklace for such occasions.

Some Little Variations That Concern tho Well Dressed Man. In the general cut and style of clothes there is very little change. It is an old story to repeat the details of the morning or sack suit made of rough cheviots or Scotch goods, the frock coat and dark striped trousers for the afternoon and the conventional evening dress, and yet there are some -little variations which need attention, and among these the New York Herald considers and illustrates the following: In evening clothes the waistcoats are cut htgher, and many of them have four buttons instead of three. These are in the same material as the coat` and trousers. Even the white waist- coats of the season will have more ma- terial to them. The cloth waistcoats to correspond with tbe:rest of the suit are single breasted and the white duck waistcoats double breasted. The best dressed then will have the buttons made of white pique or of the same material as the waistcoat. The shape of the evening waistcoat remains the same—that is, although htgher in cut, it preserves the perfect U, showing the top of the second but- ton of the evening shirt. The best dressed mien wear white evening waist- coats only with evening clothes. A white waistcoat and a dinner coat are not in. harmony. White is the badge of formality, and a short black coat signifies semidress or mufti. The evening shirt is made this year with a very wide bosom. In form this bosom Is about the shape of an egg. It is a bit narrow, almost com- ing to a round point at the upper of 406 T6ATV G (858*T BLACK. gAT 1N7htr TIE FOR DINNER C.0AT f' L,N, MA7 E vENlftfl ,SHIRT 'lie ,. t��1 _�.•�.

This pre- vents bulging and secures a good fit. The evening or dross shirt is made of white linen, and :t should be as stiff as a board. The evening shirt must have cuffs attached. It is nn:cb better form that the collar be attached also. but that is not essential. The tie for evenlug Rear Is of white lawn. The ends are square. The idea is to tie it in a very sntcll knot and to make It even look as If it had been slightly mussed Iu the tying. In se- lecting ties or In having them made care must be taken that they are of the proper length. If white ties go to the wash, they must not be -starched. The all round or banded turndown collar is worn with the dinner coat. All the turndown collars have rounded ends. With the dinner coat, which is some- times called the Tuxedo or the Cowes or even the Newport, black ties are al- ways Roru. This winter- black silk is much preferable to bind: satin. The shape of the black semidress tie is that popularly known as the batwing. A very \pretty tie for this style of dress is made from black figured silk. A man is allowed a little latitude with a dinner coat. A popular way of tying the batwing. and one much in vogue this autumn. is to give the nar- row part two twists, so as to make a knot almost similar in effect to that of the evening tie. These ties when ad- justed appear double at the ends and are picturesque and bouffant. The top hat of the year has a brim that is slightly curled, and the crown is less belled. The Eugilsh hats have very high curled brims and are round in the front and back Instead of ellip- tical. The New York bat has a narrow ribbed silk band. The English hat has s clath band. A Round Table. A round table embodies, even with- out its setting forth of china and silver. a hospitable atmosphere impossible to produce with the square or oblong size. An economical expedient for exchang- ing the last named kind for the first is to have a large, round top made of sea- soned boards and fastened upon the table. This has been done in more than one instance by an ordi ry work- er with carpenter's tools, safe The Art Interchange. The plan necessitates, of course, some kind of cloth covering when the table is not in use for meals. Cempureenta. "How, for instance," asked the in- guWtive boarder, "would you define a i'ompliment?" "In love's warfare," replied the di- dactic boarder, "a compliment is a skirmisher sent out for the purpose of bringing on an engagement."—Chif,'tgo Tribune. Lovely Harada. Lovely hands are more uncommon than pretty faces, yet a little sliver sand. a deep basin. a stiff nailbrush, good soap and two good little imple- ments (file and orangewood sticks) will transform ugliness to lasting beauty in a month. CHILDREN'S DRESS. , Party and Day- Gowns For School- girls—Coats For Little Tots. Children's fashions are miniature reproductions of the modes for grown up people just as far as small gowns can represent the varied details of fashion within their limited space and the bounds of good taste, says the New York Sun in introduction to a summary of the same, as follows: There are dou- ble skirts, skirts with a circular flounce and skirts with plaits in the back vari- ously finished with the inevitable rows of stitching. Then there are guimpes, yokes and vests of all kinds not too elaborate for children's wear. Tucked taffeta silk yokes seem to be a special fancy, and yokes of white cloth striped with double rows of sou - tache braid, one of white and one of CLOTH GOWNS FOR GIRLS. black, sewed close together, are very effective. Plaid silk is useful, too, for the yokes of serge school gowns, and a plaid silk waist trimmed with narrow braid and made with a velvet vest is another useful adjunct in the school- girl's outfit. Plaid wool gowns are always a feat- ure in children's dress, and this season is no exception in that respect. But the plain satin faced cloths, venetian cloths, cashmeres and serges have the 1elia, and the dainty pastel colors are used for their dressy gowns, as well as for the oide.:' ones. For girls 8 or 9 years old pale pink or blue is very pret- ty trimmed with lace insertion and tiny little folds in tucks in the cloth. Chicon point d'esprit, crepe de chine and thin silks are quite as popular as ever for the party gowns, and they are quite as elaborately decorated with lace and ribbon trimmed frills. Ver- tical bands of white and colored velvet ribbon an inch and a half wide falling from the belt at intervals all around the skirt are very effective on the gauzy materials. Put on the width of the velvet apart at the belt, the spaces widen in proportion to the fullness of the skirt. The Lauds are sewed `et,' lightly on to the skirt and extend to the top of the ruffles which edge the hem where they end in a small bow. It is pretty to alternate the lengths, making every other one a few inches shorter. Muslins in dainty plain colors are used both in summer and winter, and a soft sash of liberty satin with netted fringe tied in the ends is a pretty addition. The models illustrated are more par- ticularly for cloth. showing something of the variety in machine stitching and the styles of skirts. A simple gown with sailor collar stitched to form a plait Is one novelty, and by varying the colors of the sill; used the effect is made at least unusual. The new coats are in short jackets finished with stitching; also long gar- ments to the hem of the dress, with triple capes around the shoulders, the middle one of cream white or some pale color harmonizing with the cloth of the coat. Castor color and the tan shades are favorites for the long cloth coats, but there are velvet and velveteen coats of various colors trimmed elegantly with fur and lace applique on the collars. Coats for little tots of 3 years are made of white cloth, white silk poplin and corded silks and trimmed with Irish lace, a tiny edging of beaver fur nd feather stitchiug. Separate Waists. No sign of decadence does the sepa- rate waist yet show, and here are a few examples of popular styles: The upper blouse is in rich yellow silk trimmed with white feather edging. The waistcoat is of tucked lawn, with insertion of lace and full blue tulle. sTrupn aaouses. At one side is a rich silk velvet blouse composed of cords outlined in narrow fur. The inner waistcoat is of full, white lisse and six frills edged with lace falling over it. At the other side is a bodice pattern- ed in narrow black lace, with tucked yoke and full front of blue silk. The lower figure shows an embroidered glace silk blouse with full front of ac- cordion platted lisse trimmed with bands of heliotrope. �* FROM THE SHADOW.

SIBERIA'S BIG GOLD CROP. Large Quantities of It Smuggled Ont or the Country. In spite of the most stringent Rus- sian laws on the subject—the taking away of gold without government con- sent—there is au enormous business done all over Siberia in gold, both dust and, especially, nuggets stolen from the workings. It is a criminal offense to be found in- possession of gold; but as so large a proportion of the popula- tion of Siberia consists of those sent there for punishment, and the only further punishment they have to fear is deportation to some yet more distant region of the same barren and joyless land, the deterrent is by no means so formidable as a mere perusal of the awful menaces of the statutes at first sight seems to convey. Moreover, the successful dealer in stolen gold rarely fails to escape the penalties of his of- fense, even when caught redheaded. The Russian official, even in Russia proper, is seldom altogether unreason- able; and in Siberia, where the preg- nant saying of the dishonest "chinov- nik," "It's a long way to Peter"—that is, St. Petersburg—is especially signifi- cant, the official is "good natured" in the extreme, and a substitute can al- ways be bought to accept unpleasant responsibilities. A great part of the gold is conveyed over the Chinese frontier—that is, across the river Amur, which is the sole defense of the frontier against smuggling from both sides—and finds a ready sale at ruinous sacrifices in ex- change for a certain fiery Chinese vodka. The valuable properties of this spirit, much esteemed -by Russian aid native alike, are that it gives the cus- tomer the beatitude of intoxication one day, and on the next he can attain the same exalted state by the cheap expe- dient of drinking water.—Chambers' Journal. The Betrothal Ring. The early history of the wedding ring is not easy to trace, as it was apt to be confused with the betrothal ring. This was once the more important of tae two, for in the days of our forefa- thers the betrothal was the great cere- mony and marriage only the ratifica- tion of the contract. Then a spouse was a betrothed person, and to espouse was to be betrothed. The ceremony of espousal or betrothal was celebrat- ed with all possible solemnity as the contract of a future "eternal bond of love." No doubt the reasou for thus solemnizing an engagement was that in times of violence and lawlessness the church thought it needful to pro- tect the woman and therefore made the betrothal so sacred that a violation of the contract was punished with ex- communication. A betrothal service was used, which still forms part of the French and Italian ritual, and, indeed, the first part of the Anglican mar- riage rite down to the woman's "I will" is simply the old betrothal serv- ice. Remarkable Tumors. Some remarkable records of tumors are given in The Lancet. The largest known is a uterine tumor that weighed 195 pounds, described by a doctor of Bucharest. Hunter removed one weighing 140 pounds from a woman whose weight without the tumor was 95 pounds. The largest solid tumor of this class weighed 106 pounds. The record for ovarian tumors is held by a Chinese patient, who had one weigh- ing 169 pounds; without it she weighed 77 pounds. There is a New York one of 149 pounds and a German one of 146. For mammary tumors a case is on record where the growth in one breast weighed 64 pounds and in the other 40 pounds. Didn't Know His Boss. John I. Blair in his earlier days own- ed a western railroad along the route of which he established a series of lunchrooms, at which employees of the road were to be charged 50 cents and all passengers 75 cents. Mr. Blair once diined at one of these places and, con- cluding his meal, laid down a half dol - kr. "Hold on!" cried the cashier. "You don't belong to this road!" "I know that," replied Mr. Blair. "The road belongs to me." Qotham'a Millionaires. At the present time there are be- tween 500 and 1,000 men in New York who are worth $1,000,000 or more. In 1815, when New York had a population of 110,000, there were only 19 men who were assessed at $100,000 or more, and the highest assessment was only $200,- 000. An Ohio man svho admits he is su- perstitious attributes It to the fact that he was once caught in a rainstorm while grayed in a $13 suit of clothes.— Chicilao News.

Doing Penance. ,A maaiber of the mining exchange tells this story of a man doing pen- ance: "I had a wagon and was driving out of Denver, on my way to the mines. The roads were fetlock deep in dust, and the weather was hotter than "lades. A young fellow halted me a few miles out and asked if he might walk behind my wagon. It was the strangest request I had ever heard, and I said: "'Walk behind? No! Get up here on the seat and ride.' He wore a sort of sad look and replied: " `I don't want to ride, pardner. I ain't fitten to ride add It ain't fitten to get fitten. Just let me walk behind your wagon.' "I thought then he must be crazy and concluded to let him have his way. The dust rolled up in dense, suffocat- ing clouds. 1 glanced frequently over my shoulder, but couldn't get a glimpse of him. As the team rattled on, however, I heard his voice repeat- ing over and over again: "'Serve you right, confound you! Sell your claim for $10,000, win $1,500 at poker, go down to Denver, blow off the town and go dead broke! You blank blank blank! Ought to suffer! Got to go back and start all over again! Dust too good for you! Ain't half punishment enough!' "At the end of the journey he was nearly dead. but still bravely anxious to do penance. I hired him, and he's here in New York now, doing well."— New York Press. Admitted it Himself. A story is told of two prominent Chi- cago lawyers who several years ago were regarded es being among the brightest lawyers t state had pro- duced for a long time. There was great rivalry between these men, and one day they were having a heated argument on the steps of the state- house at Springfield. _`1J .11,A7944,-' 's -Elie -veer sr&II- we meet, said one of the wrangling lawyers fiercely. "All right, and that will settle it once for all. Ab! Here is Charlie —. We'll leave it to him." "Charlie," as the man spoken of ap- proached within hearing distance, "we want you to decide who is the best lawyer in Illinois. We agree to abide by your decision." "Well," replied Charlie, himself an old practitioner and well known in the capital city, "I plead guilty to be- ing the best lawyer in the state my- self." "Why, Charlie, how can it be prov- ed?" inquired the first of the two Chi- cagoans. "You don't have to prove it," replied the Springfield man, "I admit it, don't I ?"—Detroit Free Press. The Sweatshops. It pays to own real estate where New York's laboring classes are con- centrates. A man who owns a large, square building in the down town east side district says that it pays him more than -20 per cent net on the money in- vested. He never has to look for ten- ants and he has no trouble in collect- ing his rents. A prosperous saloon keeper has the ground floor, and, of course, his rent is guaranteed. The floors above are rented for sweat- shops. One man hires a floor and sub- lets each window to a man to work by. If at any time be shows signs of run- ning behind with his rent a dozen win- dow tenants are eager to take the con- tract in his place. The windows rent for $5 each. This gives the man who hires the whole floor his window free, or sometimes a little more than that.

IRVING TODD & SON. SATURDAY. NOV. 18th, 1899. Since our publication two weeks ago of the List of marriages iu this county upon which no returns were made, the clerk of the district court has received twelve out of a possible fifty-eight. Several of the- parties performing the ceremony are dead or moved away, and it will require some time and trouble upon the part of those interested to perfect the records. The longer it is put off the more difficult it becomes, as a matter of course. Instead of attending per- sonally to the filing of the return as the law directs, it appears to be the custom of some of the clergymen to hand over the whole sheet, license and all, to the parties, which is re- tained by them as a certificate. A prosecution or two might be a whole- some remedy. J. C. Wise, of The Mankato Review, is sending out handsome lithographs of the first house in Superior, built by the late Col. D. A. Robertson, of St. Paul, in October, 1S53. In 1855 it was occupied by Mr. Wise and Washington Ashton as a printing of- fice, from which was issued The Chronicle, the pioneer paper at the head of the lake. The building was made of logs, roofed with hand made cedar shakes. ;Minnesota Journalism. J. C. Applegate succeeds M. S. Norelins as editor of The Cannon Falls News. Milie Bunnell has been elected manager of The Duluth News -Tribune to succeed A. T. Thoits, and the latter threatens to appeal to the courts. Judge Daniel Buck, of Mankato, has tendered his resignation as as- sociate justice of the supreme court •n account of poor health, to take effect immediately. It is probable that one of the justices elect will be appointed to fill the vacancy of six weeks. The state historical society observ- ed its fiftieth anniversary at St. -Paul on Wednesday as per published pro- gramme, Gen. J. B. Sanborn being substituted for Senator Nelson, and W. P. Clough for J. H. Baker, wlio were not present. In view of the -recent developments at Mankato there is little surprise that the Company canceled the bond of the public examiner last September. It was a matter of ordinary business prudence. The South St. Paul packers are furious over recent statements of the St. Paul health commissioner in relation to alleged slaughtering of diseased cattle, and talk of bringing a damage suit against that official. Henry Wolfer, warden of the state prison at Stillwater, has resigned to become general manager of the twine trust at St. Paul. He will be suc- ceeded by Gen. (1 Mee. Reeve, of Minneapolis. A. J. Whiteman, a former demo- cratic state senator from Duluth, was arrested in New York on Tuesday for swindling. He is one of the most notorious confidence men in the con ntry. • The residence of the late George Vollmer, in Stillwater, was thorough- ly searched last Saturday, and $15,320 in gold and bills found secreted about the premises. This has been a poor week for watching meteors on account of the fog, and if the show really came off according to announcement no one in this vicinity knew it. The St. Paul Globe is trying to pave the way for $500 Pope's resigna- tion, after his Mankato vindication that he must pay interest on the time he had the money. J.R. Clements, the Fillmore County bank swindler, has obtained a change Np,! venue to Houston County, which postpones his trial until February. The people of Princeton are begin- ning to feel the effects of the Coon Creek cut off, their service being con- fined to the Duluth night train. Mrs. A.W.Clason died in a dentist's chair at Rochester on Tuesday while under the influence of chloroform. The insane asylum is now glazed and the sash has every appearance of having been picked up piece by piece at a variety of auction sales, or hand- ed down from dismantled buildings of the last century. Most of the win- dows have six panes in a sash, but one section of the building is more ambitious and has but four lights in the upper sash while the lower one has, glory of glories, one. The effect is remarkable -something, in fact, like a base ball player who has hurriedly drawn his best trousers on over an old uniform -but let us be thankful for any windows at all. - Anoka _Herald. The Anoka Asylum. The following officers of the state asylum at Anoka were elected on Saturday: Superintendent. -John Coleman. Matron. -Mrs. John Coleman. Physician. -Dr. J.H. Frank. Engineer. -Frau k McColl in. The salaries were fixed at $1,200, $400, $300, and $55 per month. It is expected to be in readiness to receive one hundred chronic patients from the present hospitals early in the year. This appointment will create a vacancy in the board, which in all fairness should be filled by a Hastings man. In connection with the proceedings The St. Paul Globe says: The o .iginal appropriation made by the legislatu-e for the construct4on of the two asylumswas$150,000, of which about $70,000 has been used thus far in putting up the first wing of each institution. Ice houses, barns, tools, and the interior furnishings of the buildings have yet to be provided for, which it is estimated will bring the cost to complete the first wing at each town to something short of 8100,000. President Mason stated yester- day that he hoped the board would be able to go ahead with the second wing and complete it by next fall, but no def- inite statement could be made as it was not known how much of an out'Jy the incidentals and miscellaneous expendi- tures would come to. The legislature provided for two wings at each place to accommodate two hundred patients in all. With the present outlay the board has accommodation for two hundred patients, and the balance of the appropriation will be made to stretch, if possible, and pro- vide for the other two hundred.

Hubert Ames' residence at Grey for C loud 'had the -roof badly -damaged F by fire on. Friday of last week, caused from the chimney. Dr. B. F. Pomeroy, deputy state dairy inspector, was inspecting the herds in this vicinity during the past week under the new state law, and reports them in good condition. Mr. Eaekiel Harrison. Ezekiel Harrison, whose death oc- curred Tuesday and whose funeral took place to -day, was born in Lang- lan, Staffordshire, England, Mar. 31st, 1830. His father was a potter by trade. He brought his family to this country when .Ezekiel was about fourteen years of age, settling in East Liverpool, 0., and engaging in the iron stone China business there. here Mr. Harrison was married to Clarinda Orr, where he remained for a number •f years and would have remained but for the poor health of his family, for whose sake he chose the pioneer life in Minnesota in 1864. He settled on a farm ten miles southeast of Hastings, in Dakota County. There he spent moat of his life, opening his farm to cultivation and rearing his children to school and church with much sacrifice. . During an interim in which he left the farm he was one of the pioneers in the pottery busi- ness in this city, having built and op- erated the first terra cotta kiln on the site now occupied by the Red Wing Sewer Pipe Company. After a short time he returned to his farm, where he resided until incapacitated by a stroke of apoplexy about two years ago, when he came to this city. Mr. Harrison was for many years a member of the masonic order, and though originally a Presbyterian was always a faithful worker in the Con- gregational Church of the County Line, being especially interested in developing the church music. He was all his life a public spirited man, though never seeking office himself. In national affairs he was a staunch republican, and his last remark was that Ohio usually goes right. His first marriage occurred in East Liverpool, 0., Apr. 10th, 1853, and there were born to that union eight sons and five daughters, of whom all but two sons grew to maturity. The six grown sons acted as pall bearers, and carried their father to his last resting place as they had carried their mother some six years ago. The funeral was held from his late residence on Sixth Street, at nine a. m., Nov. 9th, and was conducted by the Rev. E. H. Moore and choir of the Presbyterian Church, which Mr. Harrison attended while living here and of which his son, C. E. Harrison, and wife are members. The body was interred beside his first wife in the County Line cemetery, near Etter. The surviving members of the fam- ily are his second wife, six sons, and four daughters. The daughters 'are Mrs. E. B. Ward, of Labolt, S. D.; Mrs. H. M. Fay, Sioux Falls; Mrs. U. S. Panchot, Seattle; Miss Mima Harrison, Red Wing. The sons are Newton, Cyrus E., of the firm of Scott & Harrison; Henry H., Marion F., freight agent of the Milwaukee Road; Benjamin Harrison, a market ardener, all living in Red Wing, ad the Rev. Hiram B. Harrison, pas - of the Congregational Church at 11t":Wont, limn. Mi. Harrison was that kind of a man who does honor to any communi- ty in the loyalty of his manhood to all the best traditions of a free government. His death came with- out warning or struggle. Without pain be fell asleep in a moment in the full hope of a christian.-Red Whig Republican, 10th. The Hastings High against Owa- tonna Athletics' game played on Pillsbury campus last Saturday after- noon had to be called after fifteen minutes of play on account of in- juries sustained by Hoffman, Hast- ings' full back. He was attempting to break up a rush through the end when one of the ends struck him on the shoulder with his knee. It was at first thought that Hoffman's shoul- der blade, which had been fractured in a game last October, was broken, but an examination by a physician proved that the bone was not injured and that Hoffman bad only sustained a few bruises. The Hastings boys were so easy that the Owatonna team was not called upon to do any hard work. The latter's interference was good, and long gains were made around Hastings' ends. The line bucks, too, were productive of good gains. Time was called with the ball on Hastings' fifteen yard line, --and the score twenty-four to nothing. Owa- tonna had expected a hard game, as the Hastings team had not lost a game this year, and had shut North- field High out with a score of eleven to nothing. Stanley Gray acted as umpire, and his decisions were entire- ly satisfactory. -Owatonna Journal, 10th. Empire Items. The winter term of school in Dis- trict 39 commenced Monday. C. J. Balch and wife, of Owatonna, spent Friday and Saturday with their brother, G. S. Balch. Mrs. Patterson and daughter, of Faribault, are visiting their friend, Mrs. Mandale, of the Westwood. Sander Weterlin, who has been at the hospital in St. Paul for the past seven weeks, returned last week well, but weak. Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Balch and Mr. and Mrs. Foster Balch, of Farming- ton, spent Thursday at D.W. Balch's, in Lakeville. Attorney W. E. Todd, of Albert Lea, went up to Mankato to plead in the United States court and was stricken with apoplexy. This should be a warning to other attorneys. That court is enough to strike down the stoutest lawyer in the state. There is not enough business to keep the court roots properly aired, and the deadly miasma microbe revels there alone and undisturbed, -Waseca Radical. Real Estate Transfers.

Simmons' land this season, contracted for five acres, and Mr. Simmons expects to put in forty. About a hundred acres of beets were raised in this county, the yield being from ten to twelve tons per acre. It was ascertained upon sawing the Koa logs, which came from Honolulu, that oneof them was rotten throughout and consequently worth- less. The logs were sent to the Still- water Manufacturing Co. by J. B. Castle to be converted into decora- tions for his new house. It is a pity the log's condition was not ascertain- ed before being shipped several thousand miles. The loss falls upon Mr. Castle. -Stillwater Gazette. A. J.

Hastings. Minn. Opening of the Yana Theatre. The opening of the Yanz Theatre on Monday evening was attended by a large audience, made up of repre- sentative citizens, inaugurating our amusement season under the most favorable auspices. Everyone pres- ent was delighted with the cosy, com- fortable auditorium. There was a little friction, of course, everything being entirely new, and a few minor defects, bq these will all be remedied in due time, and the theatre undqubt- edly prove a well merited success. Black Patti's Troubadors were selected for the opening, at a cost al- together out of proportion to the attractions presented. The company was not nearly as large as represent- ed, and some of the leading features on the programme failed to mate- rialize. Still they have several very good singers and actors, who were repeatedly encored. The patrons would have been equally well satis- fied with a much less expensive troupe -,-with a corresponding increase in Mr. YanTn-bunt. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. Sold by druggists 75c. F. J.

From Which Solomon Is Believed to Have Ob- tained His Supplies. O The, mining interests of Africa, es- pecially the wonderful gold and dia- ntoud fields, are particularly interest - lug at the present time owing to the unsettled conditions in the Transvaal, rays The Scieutific American. Much of the recent rapid development of Africa, especially in the southern part, is due to the discovery and develop- ment of extremely valuable mineral de- posits, particularly of gold and dia- monds, and incidentally it may be MOW boned that the iron, coal and other mineral deposits of South Africa give great promise when the wealth seek- rs tiud :Hie to turn their attention to ludusti Mich are less speculative. The gold and diamond mines are vondcrfully profitable. The Kimberley nines, which are located in British -ter- ritory just outside the boundaries of the Orange ['re, State and about 600 miles from tape Town, now supply about its per cent of the diamonds of commerce. The existence of these mines was unknown prior to 1867, and in the brief period since their discovery $350,000.000 worth of rough diamonds have been taken from the Kimberley mines, cool the stones were easily worth double this stun after cutting. This enorutous production would have been greatly increased but for the fact that the owners of the mines in the vi- cinity- formed an agreement by which the annual output was so limited as to meet but not materially exceed the an- nual consumption of the world's mar- kets. The supply is so plentiful and so comparatively 1ncxpeusive is the work of diamond digging that the industry has almost ceased in other parts -of the world since the South African mines entered the field. E tut Il. wonderful and promising are the great Witwatersrand goldfields of South Africa. located in the South African Republic. better known as the Johannesburg wines. The strip of ter- ritory a few hundred miles long and a few miles in 'width to which this name is applied was a few years ago con- sidered nearly' worthless, useful only for the pasturage of cattle and sheep. According 1„ our treasury bureau of statistics, gold was discovered there in 1SS3, and in the next year the gold pro. duction was about $30,000. The out- put increased with startling rapidity. The amount of gold mined iu 1888 was 85.000,000, in 1SS9 410.000.000, in 1802 otter S20,004).un0. in 1805 over $40,000,- 1100 and in 1,97 and 1808 $55,000,000 each year. This wonderful develop- ment naturally attracted great atten- tion to South Africa and drew thither thousands of peep!,, in the hope of making fortunes rapidly. The mines, however• cannot be successfully work- ed except 1,y the use of machinery, and, while they have been extremely productive tvliere machinery has been used, they were not of such a .charac- ter as to make baud or placer mining profitable, as was the case in Califor- nia and Australia and other places The goad production of the Rand since 1884 has been over $300,000,000, and careful surveys of the field show be- yond question that $3,500,000,000 in gold cap probably be extracted, while the large number of mines which have been located in adjacent territory, par' ticularly in parts of Rhodesia, give promise of additional supplies, so that it seems probable that South Africa will for many years continue to be, as It now is, the largest gold producing sec- tion- of the world. Recent discoveries tend to the belief that these wonder- fully rich mines are the long lost "gold of Ophir" mines from which Solomon obtainer his vast supplies. No Need to Stoop. One of the greatest and most com- mon deformities of the day is one that with care and attention can be reme- died. It is the round shouldered or stooping habit. Many of the most natural figures show this tendency to stoop, while in the narrow chests It is marked to a painful degree. A d yet by raising oneself leisurely upo the toes in a perpendicular position several times a day this deformity can be easily rectified. To do this proper- ly one must be in a perfectly upright position, the arms dropping at the side, the heels well together and the toes �t►' forming an angle of 45 degrees. The•Tise should be made very slow- ly and from the balls of both feet, and the descent. should be accomplished in the same way without swaying the body out of its perpendicular line. The exercise is not an easy one, but may be accomplished by patience. It can be modified, too, by standing first on one leg, then on the other. Inflating and raising the chest at the same time is a part of the exercise and if perse- vered in will ultimately show an in- creased chest measurement, develop- ment of lung power and erect figure.— Pittsburg Dispatch.

One of these ladies was employed by a wealthy Louisvillfan who swore by the whole- sale. Economy was no object to him when it came to cuss words, and he scattered these pearls of speech over all subjects. The cook was a past and mistress tress of her art. She knew what she knew and could turn out dreams from the skillet and oven, but she had ideas of her own dignity. "One mawnin," said she, "I done cook a elegant brekfuss. Dere wuz shield!' an 'titters an beat biskit an cof- fey an muff ns, an dat man he come down stairs, an he do talk scand'lous. I Kasen an I lissen.

"'Hyar, gal,' says he. 'I likes dis eookin. Wot you mean bossin me when I cusses to my own wife?' " 'Days all ri't' I says mi'ty brash, 'but you don't cuss me er I goes.' "An sence den," declared the colored upholder of her rights and dignity, `ole marse jes' stuck on my cookln, an I'se de only pusson on de lot he neber cuss- es." The old man is right. When you get a good cook, grapple her to you with hooks of steel, even If you have to leave off swearing.—Louisville Times. Smelling the Glass. Bartenders who pride themselves on their mixed drinks have a habit of smelling of the empty glass as soon as the customer has drained it. In this way they can tell to a dot whether they "hit it right" or not. I have not seen the bartender who can make two - alike, and none is ever certain that he has guessed rightly the pro- portions of liquor and its disguises until after the olfactory test. "Fred, this isn't quite up to the mark," says Tosspot, who drinks every drop. "That so?" smelling of the glass. "You're right. Not enough curacoa. Let me make you another." The worst telltale is the beer glass. Not one-tenth of the beer sold over the bar or in cases is fit for a dog to drink. If you are fond of a glass and it does not lie easily on the stomach, if there is an unpleasant after effect, a disa- greeable taste in the mouth or a sud- den disinclination to drink further, smell of the emptied glass, and the chances are that you will conclude you have been putting part of a cow Iot inside of you. You—valInte.SnlgEL, never to touch that beer again, where- in you will be wise. The same test may be applied to whiskies, wines and liqueurs, gins, rums, brandies and cordials. Many a man would save his breath and Ms stomach by employing his function of smell after the first drink. It is the surest prohibition 1 know.—New York Press. Cross In Front of Engines. "One of the oddest traits in animal nature," said an old time Illinois Cen- tral engineer, "is the desire of every living thing to cross in front of the locomotive. At first it filled me with wonder, and I used to lie awake nights trying to explain it. Now it's grown to be an old story with me. "What goes in front of the engine? Why, everything. Let me see! I've seen snakes—and I'm a sober man, mind you—stick up their heads to see what was making all the rumble along the right of way and then deliberately start to crawl across the rails. I've seen many a quail spring up along the right of way, fly along just ahead of the engine and then shoot across in front. Several times when I've been running a mile a minute the engine has struck these birds and killed them. In the old days I used to jump a deer now and then, and the chances were he'd cross the track every time. Cat- tle invariably do it until they have learned better; so do pigs and all do- mestic animals. Even chickens will run fluttering across.

"I didn't understand any of it," Wordsworth hastily replied. "No more did I1" exclaimed Rogers, with a sigh of relief. What Paper Costs. Ladies who go shopping have little Idea of the cost of their trip, even in well a minor detail as the cost of pa- per for the packages they have sent home. A Baltimorean has recently compared the weight of paper with the food supplied to the purchaser. In one day's purchases it is said that the paper wrapping amounted to about 10 per cent of the total. In a list of sup- plies costing about $1.40 he found that the paper which was weighed with the provisions cost 14% cents. Fever.

HASTINGS, MINN., SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 25. 1899, PERFUME MAKING. What Promises to Become an Important Industry In California. "Raising flowers for the manufacture of perfumery is an industry that is just getting a foothold in southern California," said a gentleman who is interested in a flower farm in ljpos An- geles to the Atlanta Constitution. "Flowers especially intended for dis- tillation have only been extensively grown on the Pacific slope since 1890, when a Frenchman went to Los Ange- les, where he purchased 20 acres of land on which to grow oranges. But instead of planting his property with fruit, as originally intended, the Frenchman decided to devote his en- ergies to raising flowers, such as could be used for making perfumery. The venture proved a success almost from the start, and the profits on the ex- racts and essences obtailed from the past five years amounted to bet4veen $15,000 and $20,000 annually. Several small industries of this sort are now located in different parts of southern Californ.a, and all are paying as well as the Frenchman's farm. "The flowers used for distillation, such as the jasmines, violets, lilies and jonquils, are all hardy in California and yield rich harvests to generous cultivation. Experiments have also re- cently been made in growing musk and damask roses, and an abundance of attar of the finest quality there is good reason for believing that California will soon supply as fine a material for making perfumery as now comes from Grasse. in the south of France. All that is required to make this industry a success In California are the capital needed and the Yankee goaheadative- ness. Both of these seem about to be furnished in the near future. "A French manufacturer of per- fumery is making an investigation of the suitability of Los Angeles for his business with the expectation of es- tablishing a plant there. Others who are already in business there on a small scale expect to enlarge their plants, and all bell ve that within a few years California will furnish a large part of the gnaw material used in this country In manufacturing perfumery and es- pecially that used in making violet' perfumes. - "Some Sbos Angeles manufacturers are thinicht of enlarging their business by following the French method of $tilizing'i5i' was e o orange oic tarda. So far there has been no attempt to use anything from the orange groves of this state except the fruit, and the perfume makers think that an Impor- tant source of wealth has been neglect- ed. The prunings of orange and lemon trees and unripe fruit are distilled In France to produce a substance worth from $3 to $8 a pound, and all of Eu- rope's supply of this is not large enough 'to meet the demand of the soapmakers. A good deal of orange oil is already made in California and ship- ped to eastern consumers, but as the orange flowers have to be picked from the trees in order to make the beat per- fume its manufacture interferes with the orange industry." Science of the Sea. In a paper recently read at Edin- burgh by Admiral Makarofi of the Russian navy on "Double Currents In the Bosporus and Elsewhere" the cause of these reverse currents was stated to be difference in salinity. The Black sea, for example, has half the quantity of salt found in the water of the Mediterranean. The reverse cur- rents at Gibraltar and elsewhere were stated to be due to the same cause. The admiral also suggested that the great civilized nations of the world should undertake jointly an investiga- tion of the temperature of the surface water all over the - world. "Russia should take Okotsk sea, Bering sea or the sea of Japan, Black sea, White sea, Kara sea and the Finnish gulf; Eng- land take the Atlantic, United States the northern Pacific, Germany the In- dian ocean, France the south Pacific, Sweden and Norway the North sea, the Baltic and Arctic sea. '3very na- tion should extract the information in regard to the temperature from ships' logbooks, put it in tables and send it to the corresponding nations. In this way we could each year become richer in the knowledge of the temperature of the surface water and would be en- abled to study many details which up to the present time are unknown." Applesgs Medicine. Dr. Willson says that the apple is such a common fruit that few persons are familiar with its remarkably effi- cacious medicinal properties. Every- body ought to know that the very best thing he can do is to eat air apple just before going to bed. The apple is ex- cellent brain food, because it has more phosphoric acid in an easily digested shape than any other fruit known. It excites the action of the liver, pro- motes sound and healthy sleep and thoroughly disinfects the mouth. It also agglutinates the surplus acids of the stomach, helps the kidney secretion and obviates indigestion and is one of the best preventives of diseases of the throat. Next to lemon and orange it it is also the best antidote for the crav- ing of persons addicted to the alcohol and opium habit.—Popular Science. Galveston's New Grain Elevators.

In a striking paper in The Nineteenth Century, entitled. "Why Are Our Brains Deteriorating?" Colonel H. Els- dale remarks: "Our modern system of education generally is greatly open to the objec- tion that it tends to cultivate the pure- ly receptive faculty too much and the reasoning, imaginative, inventive and creative faculties too little. Take the case of our public examinations for the army, navy and civil services. Thou- sands of young men compete for these every year, and the educational lines of our schools are largely directed to meet them. It is very well known that these examinations are generally framed so as to put a strong premium on a cer- tain clever receptivity of brain rather than on real force of intellect and char- acter. "Young men with the mind of a Soc- rates or a Plato, a Shakespeare or a Victor Hugo, a Napoleon Bonaparte or a Wellington, a Bismarck or a Wil- liam Pitt, a Darwin or a Pasteur, would have small chance of passing in the competition as against a Bengali Babu. He, with his facile, pliant and receptive Intellect, will read up the regulation bookwork more rapidly in more subjects and make a higher aver- age of marks - than any of them, al- though each of them may have far more real knowledge of certain of the subjects suited to his own special gen- ius. "This sort of examination test, per- sisted in for generations, must tend to encourage the development of clever, ready and shallow wits at the expense of real original talent and self reliant brains. It will produce a feminine rather than a masculine kind of Intel- lect. The brains of our boys will edu- cationally be molded toward the type of, say, the clever, versatile American lady, and so far the chances of their growing up into really great men, such as those mentioned above, will tend to diminish." His general conclusion is as follows: "On a broad view the general tenden- cy of the age is to reduce us all to one monotonous dead level of uniform me- diocrity. As applied to brain power, the tendency is to level down the high- est and best brains by putting an in- creasing discount on originality and in- dependence of thought. Meanwhile the lowest brains among the masses of the population are being leveled up by the mn1%'ersat e Tread of primary edstaiivu and the increasing demand for a cer- tain moderate average of intelligence everywhere. The net result is unfavor- able to the production of really com- manding and original talent anywhere. The stream of human knowledge is growing broader and broader, no doubt, but at the same time it tends to run shallower." Tricycle Baby Carriage. The very latest thing in baby car- riages is the tricycle with two seats, one for the child in front and another for the nura}sc'who does the propelling. The weight is so placed that it is im- possible for this vehicle to upset, even if the nurse is as careless as they are reputed to be. Itis considered a great improvement over the old fashioned perambulators, which were kept sta- tionary while the policeman was being entertained. Now the up to date nurse • A NURSE ON HER WHEEL will refuse to speak to any save those in the bicycle squad. The nurse and her charge wilt get plenty of fresh air, and the danger is reduced to a mini- mum. There is only one further im- provement possible now, and that is the invention of an automobile peram- bulator, and perhaps In a year or two one of the questions that the applicant will ask her prospective employer will be, "Have you an automobile peram- bulator?" and if an answer in the nega- ative is given she will refuse to work for such old fashioned people. This time has not come, however, and now the most that the most exclusive nurse can ask will be for a cycle perambu- lator. Value of the Sunflower. It is said that the sunflower is valu- able for keeping off malarial fevers. the seeds are splendid food for poul- try, increasing the number of eggs. Every bushel of seed yields one gallon of oil, and this when purified is as good as almond or olive -oil. It is also used for making soap and for lighting purposes.

A WORLD OF TROUBLE. Why the Apartment House Manager Had a Case of the Blues. The manager of the apartment house, a well fed, well featured, well dressed man, was standing in the main door- way of his establishment, which, by the way, is owned by an out of town capitalist, who is not the most generous provider in the world and insists upon the fiat being conducted upon the most economical lines. The manager was not happy, however fair he may have ap- peared to the eye, and he heaved a long drawn sigh as a friend approached and. greeted him. "What's wrong?" inquired the new- comer. "Oh, we've all got our troubles I" was the vague and lugubrious reply. "Yon oughtn't to have any." "But I have, just the same." "What, for instance?" "Well, I'm worried sick because I haven't got an elevator boy." "There shouldn't be any difficulty in removing that trouble, I should say." "There is. I've tried 40 and can't get one to snit." "You mast be very hard to please." "It isn't that," sighed the manager. "I'm all right, but it's this way: The old man insists on having the elevator boy wear a uniform, and he furnishes it. Uniforms cost money, and when the last boy retired he left a brand new rt,iforrn, and tha ski `MAT won't ge . another. That's the rub. I can find plenty of boys of sufficient intelligence, ample experience, industrious habits, good moral character and fine address, but I'll be darned if I can get one that the uniform will fit, and there yon have it.

Nor did the fact that I and my new suit had made a hit with the friends I had been visiting detract from the fullness of my self satisfaction. "All went well until I came to a street crossing my road. At the corner was a street lamp, which from some cause was not lit, and from this lamp fluttered what seemed to be a handker- chief. Yon know I am a little bit near sighted. "I reached over to take it, but it was touched by the wind and waved just beyond my grasp. I reached over far- ther, leaning fall against the lamp poet.

"It is an amazing fact that of all bills sent to a family that of the doctor is in hundreds of families the last one to be paid, and in more cases than it is pleasant to contemplate it is never paid at all," writes Edward Bok *in The La- dies' Home Journal. "I have recently gone to the trouble to make some in- quiries into this matter and have been astounded to find that not one-fourth of the bills sent by doctors are paid with anything like promptness. There is a quickening of the conscience, a simple realization of a proper sense of duty needed in this matter. "It is high time, in the case of hun- dreds of families, that this matter should be brought home to their sense of fairness and justice. And as with them the doctors have for so many years been the last to receive their due In the payment of their bills, it would be only simple justice that hereafter 'the Last shall be first' No worker in the field of human industry deserves better at the hands of the people whom he serves than the doctor, and to pay his fee promptly and cheerfully is the least we can do for the service which he gives us."

Pistol Saber For Cavalry. Proposals are being entertained by the French military authorities for a new weapon, called the pistol saber, which, if adopted, will be put in use in several cavalry regiments. This is an ordinary saber provided with a small firearm lodged In the hilt. On encountering a resistant surface the blade recedes and discharges the pistol, a recoil of about a tenth of an inch being sufficient for the purpose. The shot will, it has been ascertained, pen- etrate a steel breastplate. It is ex- pected that the new weapon, which weighs only one-third more than the ordinary saber and which, of course, when the pistol is not loaded, can be employed in the usual way, will prove very serviceable, particularly in en- gagements between bodies of cavalry. —Paris Corresnondenee- How Dumas Amused Himself.

Potts has reason to feel proud of his contract work of in- stalling the steam heating plant at the new Hastings insane hospital.

It's successful completion gives him a state reputa- tion, and St. Peter is proud of it.— St. Peter Journal.

The telephone company has rented a room over the post -office, and will move the central station there as soon as the change can be made. A crew of men are stringing the neces- sary wires, and with fair weather will complete the outside work this week. The new switchboard arrived on Mon- day.

All of the instruments now in use are intended for long distance service, and consequently will not have to be changed. The cost of the present improvements will be about $1,000. Those who have been waiting patient- ly for telephones will be accommo- dated as soon as the new exchange is ready for business, about Dec. lst. Ile Took Wings.

Lasby had made all arrange- ments to have Slocum thresh for them Monday, but they had to eat large meals with their families, and the threshing crew was busy wonder- ing where they were at. They all had money coming. May be it is still coming, the roads are muddy and it is slow moving, but the chances are that their hard earned dollars are on the road to Manila or some other place from whence they will not soon return.

Charles Elliott died about seven o'clock last evening at his home, 249 Eighth Avenue N. Elliott is a young man of about twenty-eight years of age and well known about the city, having resided in M:inneap- olis for years. During the past six months he has been employed as bar- tender for George Kent, 10 Washing- ton Avenue N, and has enjoyed the best of health until Friday, when he was taken sick with erysipelas in the head, which affected his brain to the extent that it was necessary to place straps on him Sunday night. It was not thought that his illness would result fatally, and his death came as a great surprise to his many friends. Elliott is survived by a wife. His parents reside in Minneapolis, and were with him when he died. The funeral arrangements will probably be left in the hands of the Improved Order of Red Men,of which Elliott was a member.—Minneapolis Times, 21st. Fred Blomberg, the assistant baker at the St. Peter hospital, has received a deserved promotion, and as soon as the new Hastings hospital is complet- ed he will be appointed as chief baker to that institution. The board of hospital trustees, in session at St. Paul last week, considered his appli- cation favorably, and, while it was de- cided not to make any appointments to that hospital at present, yet the board agreed upon Mr. Blomberg. Fred has earned this reward by faith- ful and capable service at the St. Peter hospital, having served under baker J. II. Rheiner several years.— St. Peter Journal. Being a way station on three rail- road lines, two of which are great transcontinental ones, may sound very nice, but it is not so desirable. Anoka never had so wretched rail- road accommodations or more unsat- isfactory mail service than just now, and we have to depend for the even- ing papers upon the stages, which make week day trips to Minneapolis and return. The Eastern has taken off two trains and put them on the Coon Creek cut off, and our railroad facilities are growing worse and worse instead of better.—Anoka Union. A deputy U. S. marshal Saturday afternoon sold the stock of groceries and fixtures of Hollander & Son for $1,025. There were several bidders, and the sale is eonsidered a good one. They were closed up by Judge Lochren, on a petition of J. H. Allen & Co. for debt about two weeks ago, and the sale to -day was for the bene- fit of the creditors. The total liabili- ties were $6,900. The assets are proceeds of sale and $2,600 in book accounts, $2,000 of which is consider- ed good. There are a few wagons, horses, etc., besides.—South St. Paul Reporter. Miss Annie Christie, of Farming- ton, returns to her home to -day after being under the treatment of Dr. Phillips for ten days.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the muooue lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tubo gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. Sold by druggists 750. F. J.

The thing that nobody ever saw the tike of was a tear. It had rolled down Miss Polly's wrinkled cheek and fallen on her hand. While she looked at it curiously -another tear slipped down the other c1 eek and dropped beside its fellow, where it glistened as her hand trembled. "Well, I vow!" murmured Miss Polly, in amazement. Words could go no further. When Miss Polly "vowed," there was noth- ing more to be said. All this was be- cause the physician had come in from the other room and . had said in his - genial way: "She's ever so much better this morn- ing, Miss Polly. I think she'll pull through." That was how it happened that the two tears were glittering on Miss Pol- ly's hand. They were very inconsist- ent tears, and Miss Polly had always been consistent. It was like turning her whole life wrong side out, and she realized it. In the first place, Miss "TOII ARE AUNT POLLY," SHE SAID. Polly had never been an attractive wo- man. She was grim and harsh' and hardworking. She was really a Mrs. Stephens, but she was married after having been an "old maid" for some years, and her old name still clung to her. Her husband was a mild, quiet man and had lived but a few years after their marriage. People said that Miss Polly had "driven" him to death and that he had been forced to die to get a little rest. There had been a child, too—ah, Miss Polly's grim face took on a look of pain When she thought of him!—a handsome, high spirited boy, who would not be "driven," and yet she bad tried to drive him. It had never oc- curred to her that there was any other way. The result had been that he left home when he was 15, and she bad never heard from him since. o From that day Miss Polly had grown more grim than ever. She made friends with nobody. She repelled everybody. Her black eyebrows drew nearer to- gether in a forbidding frown. Her voice grew harsher and colder, and she became, as the years passed, more gaunt and iron gray. Poor old Miss Polly! People pitied her, but they were wise enough to let her alone. One day a letter came from a lawyer in a distant city. It said that her only. ,yister, Mrs. Mary Alston, had died, leaving her a considerable property "in trust for my adopted daughter, Doro- thy Carew." - "Fiddlesticks!" exclaimed Miss Polly. "Mary always was a fool!" And she threw the letter into the fire. A week later she saw a carriage. drive up to her gate and deposit there a young girl, with her trunk and boxes. The girl paid the driver, and the car- riage went away, and then Miss Polly, angry and amazed, went and stood in the door, ready to warn the intruder off. The girl came up the walk and looked straight into Miss Polly's face with her pretty, frank brown eyes. "You a Annt Polly," she said. "I know beta se I have seen your pic- ture. I am Dorothy Carew." And then, before Miss Polly could say a word, the girl took one of the hard, wrinkled hands in both her own and leaned forward and kissed the withered cheek that bad been unkissed ,So long. There was a moment's fierce struggle fn the old woman's breast. Then she said in her own grim way: "I reckon I'll have to help you bring in your things. There's nobody else." She marveled at herself when she found herself tugging at the heavy trunk and helping this girl, this Doro- thy Carew, wholn nobody wanted, to get her things into the hall and from there into the "spare bedroom," which dad been unoccupied since her boy had slept there. "I wasn't a-lookin for you," she said` then, ungraciously enough, "but � 1 reckon you can stay a few days till you git rested up." - "Oh, thank you!" cried Dorothy sweetly. "This Is a lovely old place, Aunt Polly! How you must love it!" She was_looking out_of the window i as she spoke. Inside the house ever. thing was bare and unattractive, but ! when she glanced around her only thought was, "How pretty it might be made!" She began making it that very day. Even Miss Polly's stern face relaxed when she looked in upon it that even- ' Ing. Pretty pictures and tiny shelves with dainty silken hangings brighten- ed up the walls, and all about the room were charming nothings that pleased the eyes of the old woman. And yet she did not acknowledge it. No, in- deed! She said something sharp in- stead about "all that flummery" and intimated that it was nothing more than "a trap to catch the dust." "Oh, I'll never let the duet get into them!" said that strange girl brightly. "And it is so easy to make a home pretty!" And then pretty things began to bloom out all over the house, even in Miss Polly's room, that stiff room with its hard bed and its straight backed chairs. Somehow the stiffness and the angularity melted away as if by magic. Bite of bright ribbons looped back the curtains. In one corner suddenly ap- peared a little shelf with the daintiest pink vase upon it and a rose in the vase. Oh, she was a wonderful girl, this Dorothy.t One day she wentup and laid her fresh young cheek against the old woman's shoulder. "Aunt Polly," she said, "I mics my piano very much. I left it boxed up ready to ship. Suppose we send for it." And Mise Polly sent—grim old Miss Polly, who had always considered mu- sic of every kind an invention of ratan. When the piano came and the people saw it carried into that house, they crowded around the gate and stood on tiptoe and peeped over the fence. Sev- eral were heard to declare that Miss Polly was undoubtedly crazy. She came out then and shook her fist at them, .and that was so much like her old self that they concluded her mind was all right after all. But, if not crazy, then what? And Dorothy's music! She liked best to play when the twilight was in the house, and the old woman would sit over by the dim window and look at the sunset sky and listen. Dorothy knew little about classic music or bril- liant effects, but she could play many of the old time pieces and sing them, too, in a voice sweet and tender. ,At last something -happened than showed the lonely old woman that this was not quite so bad a world as she had thought it and that- she had even misunderstood herself. Dorothy was taken, ill. It had seemed nothing but a slight cold at first, tut by the next evening it was so much worse that Miss Polly herself put on her bonnet and ran for a physician. And so for many days they battled with the dis- ease that had laid its hold upon the young girl and would not give her up. Then Miss Polly began to learn. Peo- ple that she had not spoked- to in years came to the door and asked if they might help take care of Miss Dorothy. An old woman- that had been Miss Pol- ly's mortal enemy and whom she had passed in the street a hundred times with her head turned contemptuously away now haunted the house with dainty dishes which s e lg tempt the invalid. Even the boys of the neighborhood, between whom and Miss Polly there had been bitter warfare, hung about the gate now, and when their ancient enemy appeared they asked her if they couldn't "be sent on an errand or some - thin." "I didn't think she knew one o' these people," said the bewildered Miss Pol- ly. "I didn't suppose she knew any- body but me." And so it came to pass that when the doctor came out of that quiet room one day and told Miss Polly that the crisis was past and that Dorothy would get well the old woman sat and looked down at the two tears that had fallen upon her wrinkled hands and said to herself: "Well, I don't s'pose anybody ever saw the likes o' that!" - One day, when the invalid had grown strong enough to sitand was in the o ge g up great .armchair all wrapped up in blankets, Miss Polly said in her own abrupt way: "I'm goin to keep Thankaglvin, Doro- thy." Dorothy's eyes Sashed with surprise and pleasure. "Don't you -haven't you always kept it?" she asked. "No, I've never kept it. I thought the day was nothin to me, and so I shut myself up and worked harder than ever and hated other people for makin so much of it. But now this is different. I'm goin to cook a good din- ner, my dear, and you shall ask the guests for your part. I reckon you'd better invite the choir people, some of 'em, and Colonel Daly's daughter, that's been here to see you so many times." "No, Aunt Polly," was all that Doro- thy said, but her pretty pale face was suddenly flushed, and her mind was already busy with plans. What a Thanksgiving they would have! "Cook ever so much, Aunt Polly,' the said coaxinglf. "We shall want The two long tables put together, and I want them fairly filled, because the. people that will be here would not have had any Thanksgiving at home." The next day Miss Polly stood at the pantry window and watched the guests come. The first arrival was that poor old Mrs. Day, who had not walked a step or been outside of her own mis- erable house tor more than 15 years. Dorothy's friends, the boys, had car- ried her over, chair and all, in a kind of triumphal procession, and when they set the chair down they went out- side and gave three cheers for Dorothy and three more for Miss Polly. Then came three girls from the fac- tory, country girls, far from home and with few pleasures that were safe ones. In all that great, busy town no- body remembered them but Dorothy, it seemed. Then there was the old gentleman with the shabby clothes and the court- ly manners, the old gentleman that lived all alone in a little room at the top of a big house. What a pretty picture Un-othy made going out to meet him and pretending that he was assisting her up the steps when all the tilne she was helping him! And there were many others, enough to 511 the long table: Just as they were about to sit down Dorothy said: "There's a poor tramp, Aunt Polly, Woking in at the gate. I believe I'll go and ase him in." Now, Miss Polly had been the sworn enemy of tramps all her life, and she started up suddenly. "Drive hila away, Dorothy!" she cried. "I can't endure tramps." "But perhaps he's hungry," said Dorothy, turning her brown eyes full upon Miss Polly. "And we have a Thanksgiving dinner, and he hasn't." Then she went out, and they saw her speak to the man and invite him in. After all, they were glad of it. It was too bad to think of=any man going hun- gry while that dinner awaited them, and they cheerfully made room for j him at the table. And such a dinner! Why, if Miss , Polly had been in training for it all her j life she could not have done better. And there was a baby at the table, a !! thin faced baby in the arms of a thin faced mother, and when it cast one look over the table it absolutely laugh- I ed, a funny little quavering laugh, as though it were not used to it. Then, in a moment, everybody was laughing, and there never „was such a merry crowd. Why, even poor old Mrs. Day was laughing like a schoolgirl and de- claringthat she liked e any part of the turkey, so there was enough of it. As for Miss Polly—well, there was absolutely no accounting for her. There she was, carving away as though her life depended on it, and flying here and there around the table and re- plenishing everybody's plate before it was half empty. Her face was fairly glowing with happiness. And then all at once the little old gentleman in the shabby clothes stood up and leaned his trembling hands on the table. He wanted to express his own happiness and that of all the guests, he said, at the privilege of join- ing in this blessed Thanksgiving feast. Some of them had been living hard lives, very hard lives. Some of them had feared, had even thought, that they were friendless and alone in the world. He thanked heaven for their hostess, who had made her home that day a home for so many others, and he thanked heaven for the lovely young girl who carried sunshine wherever she went. It was not a very eloquent speech, but the greatest after dinner orator could not have won heartier applause. Even the baby cheered because the rest did. But Miss Polly was still Miss Polly, and she could take no praise that was not hers. "Don't give me credit for any o' it," she said stoutly. "It was all Doro- thy's doin's. I've been a cranky old woman for a good many years until Dorothy got hold o' me and straighten- ed me out. I'm glad you did it, Doro- thy. I always was a fool, a stubborn -old fool! If I only had my poor boy back again. I'd be the happiest woman in all the laud!" There were tears in Miss Polly's eyes now, sure enough, an they rolled down her cheeks witl rt attracting the least attention, for j st then a won- derful thing happen The tramp arose from the table, took off his rag- ged cei 'ul , 'if is sun r THE LITTLE OLD GENTLEMAN STOOD IIP. and his shaggy beard and stood there, tall,handsome youngfellow. And a then the astounded company saw him go around and take Miss Polly in his arms. "Here I am, mother," he said as he kissed her. "And you are glad to see me, after all?" What a time it was! He told them after awhile how he had so longed for a glimpse of the old home that he had determined to disguise himself and see the houseand his mother once more. He had been in a distant city all these years and was in business there and prospering too. "And to think how near I came to drivin him away from my gate at fast!" cried Miss Polly, her voice shak- ing at the very thought. "And it was Dorothy that saved me from that! Oh, Dorothy, you have saved me from so much! And you have done it Just as though it was the easiest thing in the world to take up a crabbed, sour old woman and make her over again." —Philadelphia Times. - A Tatted Edge.

The building familiarly known for many years as the Irving School was erected -by the Minnesota Baptist MICHAEL McHUGH, President of the Board of Education. ' Association for an institution to he called the Central University. It was began in 1S57 with liberal as- sistance from our citizens, but was net enclosed until 1858. A grammar school was opened in connection Dee. 9th. with Prof. M. N. Allen as prin- cipal, and Charles Etheridge, assist- ant. This was not a success, for the trustees announced in the following February that, though the school was temporarily interupted, it was expect- ed to seeure a competent teacher in a few weeks. It was.reopened Apr. 14tti, 1859, at the Twichell building on Fifth Street, with W. F. Nelson and A. H. Nelson as teachers, and the following month was removed to the university building. The occu- pation of the structure as a seat of learning therefore `dates from that time. The early records fail to show • .i. P. HANSON, Member of Board of Education. ' what became of the Nelsons or their school. In November, 1860, Charles Etheridge announced- an evening school for the purpose of giving in- struction in the English branches. That winter tate property was about to pass into the hands of the mortga- gees under foreclosure, but the local Baptists rallied under the leadership of Pliny Stowell and redeemed it The Rev. T. F. Thickstun was en - 'gaged to open the preparatory de- partment, beginning Sept. llth; 1861. He was a roan of considerable -push and energy, and, assisted by his wife, conducted quite a successful :School, for that -is all the undertaking ever amounted to. The state association having failed to do its part, all at- tempts to build up the projected uni- JEROME HANNA, Member of Board of Education. versity were finally abandoned. Some of our readers may still re- member The School Friend, a little .quarterly edited by him for gratui- tous circulation, and of which the writer was the printer and publisher. The school lingered along through the spring of 1865•, when it disap- peared from public view, Prof. Thick - stun removing that summer to W'algerly, Ia. The present independent school district was organized under a special act of the legislature, approved Feb. 28th, 1866. In August, 1867, the university was sold to the district for $6,000, a mere fraction of its original cost. But two rooms bad been fin idled, and it required a year to put the rest in shape. The dedication took place Sept. 12th, 1868, at which addresses were delivered by M. H. Donnell, superintendent of public in- struction, Ignatius Donnelly, Eli Robinson, and others. School was begun the following Monday, with Prof. C. S. Campbell as principal and a corps of eight teachers. The Rev. J. W. Ray was superintendent and treasurer under the original act, which was amended in 1869 separat- ing these two offices, he still being re- tained as superintendent. In May,1871, Prof. 0: S. Campbell was designated as acting superintendent of the Irving School, the entering wedge resulting in the combination of the two offices. Mr. Ray resigned as superintendent Jan. 3d, 1872, removing to Lake City, and Prof. Campbell was for- mally appointed to the vacancy at the following meeting of the board. That gentleman during a long and faithful service laid the foundation upon which our present enviable school system was erected. He re- mained until 1878, when Supt. J. H. Lewis was elected as his successor, and is now professor in a seminary at Berry, N. H. Of Supt. Lewis' long connection with our schools• it is not necessary to speak at any great length. Under his supervision they rapidly rose to the highest rank, a position steadily maintained to` the present time. He was complimented by twenty unanimous re -elections, and only resigned last January to assume higher and more•responsible duties as state superintendent of public in- struction. Supt. W. F. Kunze was elected in May, and is doing splendid work in that capacity. At the time of its erection it was one of the most pretentious buildings in the state, and its demolition last summer removed one of our oldest landmarks. The New High School Building. The new high school building, which has just been completed and in which our citizens justly take no small degree of pride, was designed by Hermann Kreti and erected by E. J. Daly, of St. Paul. It is one hundred and fifty-six feet long, eighty-five feet deep, and three stories high, in addition to a ten foot base- ment. The height from the base- ment to the top of the cupola is about one hundred feet. It stands just a little south of the site where the old historic Irving building for thirty-one years marked the educa- tional centre of the city. The main entrance is on the west side, while on the east side, facing Ramsey Street. are two other large entranced. The building asa whole may be consider- ed to consist of a main or central part, with wings on the Porth and south sides. The central part is three stories high above the base- ment and carries the cupola in which the bell is suspended. The wings are two stories above the basement. The exterior presents- a plain but substantial and massive appearance which is rather pleasing to the eye. The only evidences of an attempt at ornamentation, if such it may he called, 'is the neatly gilded inscrip- tion, Hastings High School, 1899, over the main entrance, and the handsome cupola. The construction of the building is of stone and brick. The exterior walls are made of Twin City. pressed brick, while Hastings and Chaska brick are used in the interior. All window and door trimmings are of red Portage entry sandstone. The vestibule to the main entrance has a sheet iron ceiling, walls of. white en- ameled brick, and floor of colored tiling. On each side are large Por- tage entry columns, resting on mas- sive polishedranite blocks. The walls a?e plastered with Peer- less cement mortar and handsomely tinted. All interior -wood work is of 81 per Year in Advance. 82 per Year it not in Advance. • THE HASTINGS HIGH SCHOlOL BUILDING. quarter -sawed yellow pine finish.

The basement contains engine, boiler, and fuel rooms, also janitor's room and play rooms for boys and girls. The entire building is amply provided with a system of direct and indirect steam heating and fan ventilation. The halls, auditori- um, library, science rooms, and su- perintendent's office are provided with electric lights. A system of electric belts for the recitation and class rooms completes the equipment. There are probably not many buildings of this size that are put up • DR. A. M.

A view of the interior of the new building may be of interest. Enter- ing by the main entrance on the west side, we ascend a small flight of stairs and find ourselves on thefirst floor, the broad and well lighted halls ex- tending to the right and left. On each side of this corridor are the doors opening to the, various class rooms. These are numbered consec- utively from one to ten, beginning with the first door at the right. On the second floor this num lie riug con- tinues until all °f;ll.he t ra le rooms are included. The four rooms near the main entrance and in the central part of the building are devoted to the primary gravies. The three rooms on tite north end are occupied by the intermediate grade. The rooms on the first and second floors on the I library invaluable for reference work. While the grade rooms are all num- bered, the high school rooms are lettered from A to I. On the third floor is the magnifi- - cent auditoriums. It is reached by a broad stairway on each side. The large stage, on which were seated over two hundred people last Satur- day evening, is on the west side. It 1. is amply provided with foot lights. The body-, of the hall contains four hundred and sixteen opera chairs, with room for about two hundred and fifty additional, making it the largest assembly hall in the city. The acoustic properties are perfect. 1 An interesting phase of the high HERMANN RRETZ. Architect. pg school work is that represented b • office, recitation, library, and mathe- matics room. The library is a splendid room, well lighted and amply provided with tasty shelves. which inc well stocked with choice literature. Electric lights makes it possible for pupils to use the library until late in the afternoon. Supt. Kunze is arranging a card in- dex of the entire library. giving sub- jects, authors, and titles. This will he arranged alphabetically, thus mak- ing it possible to find instantly any book or subject. This will make the A. R.

On the north end is the magnificent high school room, where the pupils have their desks and do their! studying. The recitations'are celldu4ted by the teachers in recitation rooms. Each room is provided with an electric bell. This bell rings at the conclusion of each recitation period, when the teacher assigns new lessons for the next day, and the pupils pass into the high school room and from there to the next recitation. In a cosy little alcove on one side of the high school room is the read- ing table and daily reference library. The reading table contains the lead- ing -daily papers and most of the current magazines. These are sup- plied by the students. Each one con- tributes ten or fifteen cents at the be- ginning of the year, and the amount is placed in the hands of a committee of students who after consulting the teachers select a list of periodicals. The reference library contains the encyclopaedias, gazetteers, dictiona- ries, etc. Just back of the high school room are two recitation rooms, devoted to the normal work. On the east of the corridor are the science rooms, consisting of a physi- cal laboratory, a botani d chem- ical laboratory, and a ' ration room. Water connection a n- veniently placed;; In each ; m.: Qn the west side are the supe ntendent'e tit E. A. DEAN, Member of Board of Education. the literary society known as the Forum, including in its membership every member of the high school, and elects its own officers. It , meets every four weeks, on Friday after- noon, to carry out a literary pro- gramme consisting of recitations, readings; orations, debates, and par- liamentary practice. The meetings are held in the auditorium and are open to visitors. For three Fridays of every month the society meets in two separate sections, each having its own officers, committees, and pro- grammes. The members of the society are chosen at the beginning of each semester. All programmes are subject -to approval by the teach- ers. The students take considerable pride in their_ literary societies, and are doing some splevdid work. ,Another feature ofk our high school worthy of mention is its normal de- partment, where the common sub- jects, geography, United States history, arithmetic, grammar, and civics are reviewed and considered with reference to the pedagogical side, thus affording an excellent op- portunity for young men and women who expect to teach to prepare them- selves, or for those rural teachers who desire to advance in their work. With the splendid facilities we have here now our young men and women can obtain their normal training at about one-tenth the expense that would be incurred by attending some one of our state normal schools.

The guests were met at the after- noon train by the mayor, board of education, and members of the com- mittee, and given a carriage ride out to the Vermillion and the insane asy- lum, where some little time was spent in looking over the building, now ap- proaching completion, and the beauti- ful grounds in front and rear. It is one of the most beautiful sites for a public: institution that can be found in the state of Minnesota or the northwest, and a few hundred dollars would convert the natural grove along the Vermillion River into.a magnificent park.

The room was appro- priately decorated by the senior class, the visitors, mayor and city council, board of education, teachers, and school children occupying the stage.It is safe to say that a more appreciative audience was never before assembled together in Hastings. The ushers were from the literary societies of the high school, and the foot ball colors, orange and blue, were worn by all the pupils. Music was furnished by a teachers' quartette and high school chorus, with Mrs. A. B. Chapin as director and Miss Nellie L: Hanna organist. The exercises began with the Lord's Prayer, led by the Rev. J. W. Steb- bins, followed by The New Colum- bia, a song by the high school chorus. Mr. Michael McHugh, presi- dent of the board, then turned over the building with the following remarks: Guests of honor, ladies and gentlemen, and students of the high school, in behalf of the school board I bid you welcome to the services of the dedication of this building for educational purposes; a building which I am sure that all of the citizens of Hastings Leel proud of, as well as the board of education; in taot, they feel elated over euoh a fine WiM- ing. It is something for which we have labored for years and hoped tor, and I can hardly realize the success we have made when oemppering it to the little building built in May,1856, sixteen feet in width, twenty-four feet in length, and ten feet high, a building that I gay41 away in 1863 to a party if he would tear it down so that there would be no danger of its falling on the children playing. In 1859, in celebrating Fourth of July out on the prairie here, some children who were too small to go that distance gathered straw, kindling, and chips and were going to have a bonfire of their own. They pat it up against the schoolhouse and set fire to it; this set fire to the building—it was never used afterwards. And as I say, I gave it away to Mr. S. D. DeSilva if he would tear it down before it fell on the children. I can hardly realize, as I say, that we have advanced from such a little building as that to the dimensions of the one we are now in. But time does all things. We have some distinguished visitors here to -night who want to address you on the matter of education, and as the evening is advanced I will not detain you further, but will turn the building over to Supt. Kunze and his corps of teachers to take care of it for the public. Supt. W. F. Knnze accepted the trust as follows: Mr. President, the trust you are asking me to take in charge is indeed a most pleasant one, especially when viewed with reference to the increased privileges and facilities that go with it for carrying on this noble work of educating the boys and girls of the city of -Hastings. But W. F. KUNZE, Superintendent. when I stop to consider that with this in- crease in privileges there goes an in- crease in responsibilities, I almost feel like hesitating, and I should indeed feel reluctant about accepting did I not have the assurance of being supported by a conscientious and united board of educa- tion, an appreciative and intelligent public, a faithful and efficient corps of teachers and last but not least, a loyal school. In view of these conditions, Mr. President, I, in behalf of the teachers and pupils of the public schools of Hast- ings, accept with the keenest of pleasure and a gratitude I know not how to ex- press in words,. this magnificent building now dedicated' Co the cause of education. We pledge yoki. and, the public our most faithful and energetic efforts to take good care of it and see to it that it is used efficiently for the education of the corn- ing generations. God grant that may long stand for this purpose and this pur- pose alone. Ladies and gentlemen. friends and fellow citizens, in behalf of the board of education I bid you a hearty welcome to the exercises here this evening. We are glad you came. Your liberal attendance here is an inspiration to our teachers, • IRVING TODD, Secretary. and a source of encouragement to the board of education. Mr. Governor and visitors, in behalf of the board of education and the people of the city of Hastings, I bid you a hearty welcome. We are glad to have you with us on this occasion. We feel honored by your presence. Ladies and gentlemen, it is with no small degree of pleasure that I now in- troduce to yon the Hon. John Lind, governor of Minnesota, who will now address you. 't Gov. Lind spoke as follows: Ladies and gentlemen, it has on several occasions heretofore been my good for- tune to be called upon officially to par- ticipate in celebrations, launching of ships, opening of navy yards, and the advent of railroads into towns, but it never before was my good fortune or my pleasure to be called upon to participate in the dedication of a building of this character.

A considerable portion of our spare to -day is devoted to a description of the new high school building and the dedication exercises held therein last Saturday evening. It is no small matter to vote bonds May 27th, erect such a fine building, and have it oc- cupied by the schools Oct. 14th, but that is a way our citizend have of doing things. Neither is it a small matter to have the governor of the state,- the state superintendent of public instruction, the president of the state university, and the other distinguished gentlemen present to assist in the house warming. It was a Notable day for Hastings, and The Gazette takes pleasure in presenting such a complete report to its readers, both at home and abroad. Mr, Channing Seabury, of the capitol commission, is reported as having said that the Georgia marble on that building is actually costing the state less than Minnesota granite. Why shouldn't it? It certainly is not half so good. By the time the work is completed, now estimated at four years, the streaked and stained southern stone will look as though taken from an ancient burying ground.

The Stillwater Gazette has changed the makeup of its daily to an eight page sheet, for the better accommo- dation of the advertisers. The change is -a great improvement. A. F.

Scott, of Minne- apolis, holding that the marriage is valid. At 5:30 yesterday evening a very pretty wedding took place in the par- lor of the residence of the Rev. J. F. (? eene, pastor of Sacred Heart Church, East Grand Forks, the bride and groom being two well known yo)i'lg people of East Grand Forks, MissAnna Schilling and Dr. George P. "Kirk. The ceremony was private, only a few relatives and intimate friends of the contracting parties be- ing present. Miss Lizzie Martin, of this city, assisted the bride, and Mr. Alex.'Peterson officiated as best man. After the ceremony the party repair- ed to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. T. A, Sullivan—the latter being the bride's sister—and partook of a sumptuous wedding feast. The happy couple took the Great Northern south bound train for ashort wedding trip, after which they will begin housekeeping in East Grand Forks. They were aecompanied to the train by a large number of friends to bid them "God speed." Dr. Kirk is a young man who is destined to make a mark in his profession, and his bride has long been a resident of East Grand Forks, and has won golden opinions from all who know her. The young people have the best wishes of a large circle of friends, among whom The Herald is proud to be included. —Grand Forks Herald, 22,1 alt. Foot Ball. . The game Thursday afternoon be- tween the seniors and the freshmen resulted in a victory for the former by a score of five to nothing. In the first half Richard Austin, full back of the seniors, made a drop kick from the field, and iri the second neither side scored. R. S. Bacon was cap- tain for the seniors, and R. S. Tuttle for the freshmen. Gilmour Dobie was referee, R. S. Cecil acted as um- pire, with J. H. Tucker timekeeper. The attendance was rather small. R. D.

The late Charles Osborn, the New York broker, and General Custer were intimate friends, and Osborn annually 'visited the general at his camp on the plains. During one of the Indian cam- paigns he invited Osborn and a party of friends out to Kansas and, after giv- ing them a buffalo hunt, arranged a novel experience in the way of an In- dian scare. As Osborn was lying in his tent one night firing was heard at the outposts and the rapid riding of pickets. "Boots and saddles!" was the order in the disturl;ed atmosphere of the night, and Custer appeared to Os- born loaded with rifle, two revolvers, a saber and a scalping knife. "Charles," be said in his quick, nerv- ous way, "you must defend yourself. Sitting Bull and Flea -In -Your -Boots, with Wiggle -Tail -Jim and Scalp-Lock- Skowheban, are on us in force. I did not want to alarm you before, but the safety of my command is my first du- ty. Things look serious. If we don't meet again, God bless you!" The broker fell on his knees. "Cus- ter," he cried, "only get me out of this! I'll carry 1,000,000 shares of Western Union for you into the firm to get me home. Only save me!" But Custer was gone, and the camp, by shrewd arrangement, burst into a blaze, and shots, oaths and warwhoops were intermixed until suddenly a painted object loomed on Osborn's sight, and something was flung into his face—a human scalp. He dropped to the ground, said the Lord's Prayer backward and sideways until the noise died away and there was exposed a lighted supper table with this explana- tion on a transparency: "Osborn's treat!"—Chicago Record. A Change All Around. "There goes a party that will be heard from," said Smith, pointing to a young man who was going down the street. "He has managed to keep his head in love and financial matters, and they are the two great tests. "Two months ago he was a young man with all the world before him and with no prospects ahead of him except a determination to fight life's battles. "He was in love with a young lady living in this city, but his financial con- dition prevented him from declaring his passion; besides he was not sure that the young lady in question cared for him. "But by one of those curious turns of the wheel of fortune an old aunt, that he had never seen, died and left him a large sum of money. Without delay he called upon the young lady and asked her to marry him, saying nothing about the fortune that had been left him. He met with a point blank re- fusal.

Not Very Flattering. Last winter a delegation of Indians from a far western state, on a tour of inspection through the interior depart- ment, visited the land office, where they were introduced to the clerk who had especial charge of their section of the country, a bumptious little individ- ual with a big head. This official pro- ceeded to overpower the red men with his importance. Grasping each one of them cordially by the hand, he patted them patronizingly on their backs and then delivered a long speech, ex- plaining in detail the work of the of- fice, their threat in it, laying particu- lar stress on -le fact that he was the motive power/Of it all. As soon as their entertainer paused for breath the visiting Indians began to grunt and talk among themselves. "What are they saying?" asked the egotistical clerk, expecting to hear high praise of himself. "Tell me what they are saying." "I cannot tell you," replied the inter- preter. "It was not for you to hear." But the little man insisted, mild with great reluctance the interpreter finally yielded. "They said," he translated, "Little man, big head, heap talk, say nothing, much fool."—Washington Let- ter in New York Tribune. Sandy's Explanation. A brave son of Scotia accepted an in- vitation to spend a fortnight with a friend in London, whose quarters were in the dense purlieus of , Clerkenwell.

Sandy—Aweel, mon, to say truth, na so vara weeL Host—I am sorry to— Sandy (interrupting) — Ah, dinna fash yesself, mon! I was better aff than the fleas, for they never closed a blessed e'e the whole night." A Little Mistake. Some time ago a well known and popular Congregational minister re- ceived a basket of champagne from one of his worldly and wealthy parishion- ers. A few days later the minister's little son was called up in his geog- raphy class to answer the teacher's question, "Where is Lake Champlain?" "I don't know where it is," said the small boy, "but I've had some of the water, and it is real nice."—Boston Herald. A Good Answer. ' Ernest McGaffey, the poet, is ac- credited with a good bonmot.

At the period to w these remarks bear reference, it no uncommon experience to witnes one time upward of a hundred capti of both sexes and of all ages, includ iufants in their wretched moth arms, lying In groups; masses of ut ly forlorn humanity, with eyes do cast in a stony stare, with bodies tenuated by starvation, and with s of that dull gray hue which am colored races is always indicative physical distress. In cases when a suspicion existed an individual captive's intention ability to escape, such unfortun creature was doomed to lie hobb with one foot forced through a b cut in the section of a log, while spearhead was driven into the wo close beside the limb, rendering it 1 possible to move except at the peuse of laceration. Other means insure the prisoner's safe custody c sisted in binding both hands above t head to the king post of a hunt, or binding the arms and plaiting the h into a braid, which was made fast a branch overhead. At intervals these villages were vis ed by the Ubangi, who came in lar dugout war canoes, and the proce of barter commenced, elephant tus being the medium of currency us in the purchase of the slaves. Up the conclusion of this unnatural tran action, the visitors retired, taking wi them as many of the individuals had been transferred to their poss cion in the tetlfous'process of barge' . fug. Upon reaching their destination t captives were, in most cases, su jetted to many further ordeals, bei exchanged into other hands, un eventually, after having been delibe ately fattened, they met their trag fate, and their bodies were consume There is a prevalent belief amon many of the rivertne tribes of the u per Kongo that the flavor of huma flesh is improved by submerging th prospective victim up to the neck i the water for two or three days pr vious to the sacrifice. Indeed, upon tw separate occasions it was my privileg to release several poor creatures wh were bound hand and foot to stake in the river. In certain native market places, not ably In the vicinity of the Ubangi, 1 is an ordinary occurrence for captive to be exposed for sale, In most case with the sinister fate in view of bein killed and eaten. Proportionately, greater number of men than wome fall victims to cannibalism, the reaso being that women who are still youn are esteemed as being of greater value by reason of their utility in growin and cooking food. This rule does not however, hold 'cod throughout, for i the vicinity of the Aruimi river our ob servatfons revealed a contrary order o custom. Probably the most inhuman practic of all is to be met with among th tribes who deliberately hawk the vac tim piecemeal while still alive. Incredi- ble as it may appear, the fact remains justified by an only too abundant proof. Captives are led from place to place in order that individuals may have the opportunity of indicating, by external marks upon the body, the por- tion they desire to acquire. The dis- tinguishing marks are generally made by means of colored clay or strips of grass tied in a particular fashion. The astounding stoicism of the vic- tim, who thus witnesses the bargaining for bis limbs, is only equaled by the callousness with which he walks for- ward to meet his fate. In explanation of the extraordinary Indifference thus displayed it can only be assumed that death is robbed of all terror, life under conditions of slavery offering so little attraction.—Herbert Ward in Cassell's Magazine. IS. I OLD TIME COOKERY. I Pumpkin and Squash ries After t MAN ' Old Fashioned Order. "The pumpkin pie belongs to Thauk giving, as the mince pie does to Chr! mas. This is a truly American p uct and was probably first made by New England housewife," says T Household, which presents the folio Ing recipes: For a successful pie the variety pumpkin must be carefully chosen an cultivated, and the fruit resultin should he of medium size, dark oran in color and of solid substance. Equ care [oust be taken in cooking tl pumpkin. Skin and seeds having bee removed, It should be cut In sura pieces, put in a smooth kettle, granit ware preferred, with just enough w ter to prevent all danger of burnin Let it cook rapidly till thoroughly hes ed and then very slowly for sever hours, allowing the water to evaporat at the end, leaving all the sweet flavor and juices in the pumpkin pulp. Si this, add a little spice and sugar o nice molasses and spread on plates an heat again in a moderate oven till it b comes a rich red marmalade. All thi should be done the day before. A good rule is to use for each pie on cupful of the prepared pumpkin, on beaten egg and two or three cupfuls o rich milk, according to the size of th plate and the richness of the pumpkin Sweeten and spice to suit the taste Cinnamon and ginger and nutmeg be long especially to the pumpkin pie Line deep plates with pastry, fill wit the pumpkin mixture, which should b warm, and bake slowly for nearly a hour or till the pie puffs in the cente and grows brown. Serve either hot o cold. For a squash pie use eight spoonful of squash. prepared by boiling o steatning (if choice. only mashed fine if stringy, it must be sifted), and etgh spoonfuls of white sugar, two spoon- fuls of flour, two eggs, a little mor than a quart of milk, cream if yo have it, a little salt and cinnamon, o flavor with rosewater, as above. Sti the sugar. salt and flour together, ad the flavorings, beat the eggs and add next the squash and lastly the milk The spoon used should be a large table- spoon well filled to heaping of the sift- ed squash. This is a simple recipe. A richer custard may be made if eggs are plentiful. for it is really a squash custard. and the same care in baking is required. Place the pie in a hot oven to set the crust quickly. Withdraw the heat so the oven will cool rapidly and the pie bake slowly.

We have borrowed many things from the English. One is the accepted meth- od of getting into and out of a cab. The novice in hansom cab driving gets in as she would into a victoria, coupe or oth- er American equipage and seats her- self on the far side, leaving room for her companion or escort to be seated her side, next to the curb on enter- "ing. Not so the woman who has had her hansom education in London or in an English environment. She seats herself where she enters—that is, at the curb—and her escort is obliged to crawl by her to get to his place. Where we turn to the right in driving the con- tinental method is to tarn to the left, and vice versa, which probably ac- counts for this method of transplanted misdirection which we follow in riding in a hansom.—New York Herald.

A wood should be used that will har- monize well with the piano, using the same kind of wood when that is possi- ble. Even common wood could be made to suffice if tastefully colored with one of the stains now so easily attainable. In constructing careful attention must be given to the height of the seat, as there is no arrangement provided for the raising or lowering of It, as in the ordivary piano stool, says The La - lies' World, which is the source of the design. A Royal Road to Sleep. A well known New York physician, who suffered from insomnia for many years. has found out a brand new metho,1 '-,,hereby sleep can be instantly obta'.' .. According to The Herald, the du, . r has tried It on himself and on his patients and has never known it to fail. It is essentially self asphyxia- tion. and yet there 'is no possibility of danger. A long breath is first taken, and the air is kept in until positive discomfort is felt. when it is slowly exhaled. This Is repeated a second and a third time, and in a minute or so the patient will be asleep. The theory of sleep that finds the widest acceptance is that sleep Is oc- casioned by the exhaustion of the nu- trition of the brain. due to its func- tional activity' when awake. During sleep there is a flow of nutrition to the brain, consequently an Increase of blood to supply its deficiencies. By holdiug the breath the head and brain become intensely congested with ve- nous blood loaded with carbonic acid. The carbonic acid and the other chem- ical products which venous blood con- tains act. ou the nerve tissues and, the same as ether and chloroform, produce artificial sleep. French Hats.

WHEN MEN MISS SUCCESS. I BATS AND TOADS. Idleness and Incompetency Keep the Business Novice Down. Walter P. Phillips, the founder of the national newspaper corporation known as the United Press, and the inventor of Phlll:pe telegraphic code, a typical, energetic American, who has put many young men in the news gathering busi- ness, believes that the cause of failure everywhere among young business be- ginners lies in incompetence. Nine -tenths of the young men who are struggling for a name and place in the world are unfitted for the callings they have picked ou t for themselves. Be- sides an unlimited supply of energy and whole heartedness in the work be- fore him, the successful man of the fAuture must know his business from to Z. The next great drawback to success 18 idleness. Nothing worth while is accomplished without work, and plenty of it. Things do not happen without a cause, and behind every great life there are years of concentrated energy and tireless industry. Idleness will make any man a failure: intelligent work will land any man ,among the successful. It is all so sitnple and so trite that one hesitates to put the fact down in cold blood, and yet how few men recognize, or, recognizing, live up to the axiom that labor conquers all things. Idleness and the consciousness et in- competency should make any man ashamed of himself and drive him i to do something that is worth the doing. It is within the grasp of every one to learn some . one thing that will yield both pleasure and profit. Success comes only to those who seek it. The young man who is really in earnest will not have to be advised how to succeed. He may learn much by studying the failures of others, how- ever, and be will always find, after a survey of the great legion of the un- successful, that two . causes have brought them to their present misery —idleness and Incompetency—Saturday Evening Post.

A veteran cavalr/ horse partakes of the hopes and fears of battle just the same as his rider. As the column swings into line and waits the horse grows nervous over the waiting. If the wait is spun out, he will tremble and sweat and grow apprehensive. If he has been six months in service, he knows every bugle call. As the call comes to advance the rider can feel him working at the bit with his tongue to get it between his teeth. • As he moves out he will either seek to get on faster than he should or bolt. He can- not bolt, however. The lines will car- ry him forward, and after a minute he will grip, lay back his ears, and one can feel his sudden resolve to brave the Worst and have done with it as soon as possible. A man seldom cries out when hit in the turmoil of battle. It is the same with a horse.—Buffalo Horse World. A Terrific Tumble. Most marvelous of all the stories of great falls is the account of Charles Woolcot's terrific tumble from a height of no less than 3,000 feet. It was in Venezuela, and he was making a para- chute descent. The parachute refused to open till within 100 or 200 feet from the ground. Then it spread out sud- denly and split. The unfortunate man crushed both ankles and both knees, broke his right thigh and hip, dislocated his spinal col- umn and suffered other injuries. Yet after a year in a hospital he recov- ered sufficiently to write an account of what was probably the most fearful accident mortal man ever survived. Restful.

Valuable to Farmers as Destroyers of Worms and Insects. As u result of experiments with toads and bats it has been demonstrated that a house or even a community can be rid of various troublesome insects, in- cluding flies and mosquitoes, says the Boston Transcript. These experiments were made by Professor Clinton F. Hodge of Clark university, Worcester, Mass. Professor Hodge's first experi- ment was with the toad. "I construct- ed a small pen in my garden," he said, "and in it, in a pan of water, installed a male and female toad. To attract food for thein I placed within the in - closure bits of food and bone. The re- sults were as satisfactory as they were unexpected. The toads spent most of the time sitting within reaching dis- tance of the bait and killing the flies attracted by it. 1 watched one toad snap up 86 house tiles in less than ten minutes. "One day I gathered a quantity of rose bugs in a tin, box and began to eed the bugs to a toad. At first I clad not count; but, finding his appetite so good, I started to count. When I had counted over 80 bugs and the toad'show ed no signs of wishing to conclude his meal, 1 picked him up. Previous to my beginning to count he had taken any where from 10 to 20 bugs. I found the toad equally greedy for rose beetles, cankerworms, ants, caterpillars, moths, June bugs, weevils, snails and many other insects.+Sb, too, in a house a room may be cleared of cockroaches by leav- ing a toad in it overnight. "A single toad may destroy over 2,000 worms during the months of May, June and July, and one of these harmless creatures may well do a gar- dener service to the amount of $19.88 each season, and yet he can raise $20,- 000 worth of toads at an expense of not more than 20 cents. "Farmers in England buy them, pay- ing as high as $80 per 100, for use in their flower beds and gardens. For household purposes a small number of toads could be given homes in an aquarium. At night the toads could be left loose to kill bugs, while in the day they could kill dies. I have built a sort of cage or wire screen, a foot wide and two feet long, the top of which is kept open. It is only necessary to put in two or three toads, provide them with shel- ters, a dish of water in one corner and then keep it supplied with bits of raw meat and any other refuse matter cal- culated to attract flies." In speaking of the bat Professor Hodge said: -We have no animal more interesting and probably none more valuable and certainly none less under- stood and mote abused than the bat. It Is easily tamed. absolutely harmless when gently handled and makes a pet as funny as a tiny monkey. As a de- stroyer of many of our most pestifer- ous night flying insects, like mosqui- toes, the bat is almost our sole depend- ence. and as he is known to hunt in- sects afoot. as well as on the wing, he is also of some value for larvae that do not fly. "My attention was turned to the bat through the codlin moth, the insect to blame fur most.worm eaten- apples. In an orchard near nay home I found nine of the grubs of the insect in a minute. Chancing to jo into another orchard hardly a toile away, I found only four of the grubs in an hour's search. There is an old barn near by, in which live a colony of letweep ie and 100 bats. The i owner informed me that his apples were always free from worms." Folding Bed That Folds.

Nature Study Versus Selene.. The Journal of Education quotes Pro- Co feasor L. H. Bailey of Cornell univer- an s!ty as saying, "When the teacher thinks chiefly of his subject, he teaches su science; when he thinks chiefly of his to pupil, he teaches nature study." And as when the two are merged into one— al that is, the pupil is his own teacher—is B the distinction still true? Perhaps it is sit the spirit of Thoreau in writing of the O! ferns that at matter of sori and indust- an um is simple, but a broadening and ep- bu Melling of the life is another .and more Important affair.

An attachment for a range has been made and patented by Charles J. Berg of Duhring, Pa., by which this is avoided automatically. In a few words, the kettle is hung on a crane by a spring support which is of such a tension that when the kettle is filled or even partially filled the weight of the water keeps the vessel down on the stove. As the water level nears the bottom, however, the spring raises the kettle away from the fire. THREE BILLION YEARS. May the Had of the World Be Hz- peoted Then Scientists do queer things sometimes, says the New York Herald. One of them has attempted to calculate in cold mathematics how soon we may expect the judgment day, and he has prepared a paper on the subject which he expects to read before the Ameri- can Association For the Advancement of Science when it meets next month in Columbus. Starting with the total amount of energy stored in the sun and the fact that the orb of day is continuously distributing energy equiv- alent to the work of seven men for each area of the earth's surface of the size of the human body, our statis- tician calculates that it will require 3,375,000,000 years of outpouring be- fore a sensible diminution of the quan- tity of energy given out can be de- tected. Up to this distant period mountains will stand, rivers will run, plants will grow, and animal life will exist much as it does today. If you realize that solar energy as soon as used reasserts itself in some other form, either as sound, electricity or simple motion, it is easy to see that this estimate is too small rather than foo great. At any rate, the world is not liable to stop going for a few years yet, according to his reasoning. Some idea of the vastness of the force that is meted out to us from the physical source of earthly life may be gained, he says, by considering that if the energy that the sun gives to earth in a single day could be bottled up and directed against Niagara falls It would cause that great body of water to dash back again up hill for 4,000 years. If turned into a single blast of heat, It would cause every living creature in- stantaneously to blight and wither. The ice around the poles would be melted in one and three-quarter min- utes, and in another 11 seconds all the oceans would be turned into steam. If transmuted into electricity, a spark would flash from the earth as far as the planet Jupiter. It collected into a single sound, the vibration there- of would not only break every eardrum in the world, but would uproot the gi- ant trees of the forests and even level mountains. If changed into a momen- tary flash of light, its burst would be so blinding as to penetrate the walls of the deepest dungeons and destroy the sight of every living creature. In brilliancy this flash would exceed the brightness of the sun itself over a million times. For one man to expend an amount of energy equivalent to that which the earth receives from the sun in the tenth part of a second he would have to work hard continuously tor 87,000,- 000 years. This calculation is remarkable in at its result differs by more than 374,000,000 years from the period hen scientists generally believe that e world will come to an end. Such xperts as Darwin and Huxley bellev- that it could not sustain fife 2,000,- years hence. Sea Bath..

' What Sixty Hiles as Hour Means to the Locomotive. It all sounds simple in the recital. The wonder of the thing comes into view only when one reflects on the speed and nicety with which cumbrous parts are made to do their duty. The piston and connecting bar of a modern locomotive weigh some 600 pounds. When the speed is 60 miles an hour, these parts travel back and forth five times a second. Ten times a second, at the end of every stroke, the piston bead is at rest. It must pass from this condition to a velocity of 1,800 feet per minute in one -twentieth of a second. The drive wheels measure more than a rod at every revolution, but when going 00 miles an hour they must turn more than 300 times a minute. Sixty miles an hour is the merest commonplace to the mind gf the ep to' date railroad man, but it means other things besides those described that are wonderful to the outsider. It means a steam pressure blow of 20 tons on each piston head every tenth of a second. It means that up in the cab the fireman is throwing into the furnace two-thirds of a ton of coal every hour. No. 900 burns coal faster than ten men can mine it. It means two quarts of oil every hour to keep her journal boxes greased and every- thing running smoothly. It means that the engine with its half dozen cars and load of human freight is moving through space with twice the power of a shot from a 100 ton gun. It means that the engineer has worked her up to the point where she can use every once of steam, that he Is coaxing her as a jockey urges his mount in a fierce race, and yet it means that he is ready at a second's notice to move the re- versing lever and apply the airbrakes that will stop the mighty avalanche within the distance that it covers as 1t stands on the tracks.—Earl W.

A Microscopic, View of One of Na- ture's Wonderful Schemes. At a meeting of the New York Mi- croscopical society the president of the organization exhibited, besides other things, the honeybee's wing, showing the booklets by means of which the lower of the two wings of the bee is joined to the upper wing in flying, thus making them practically a single wing. The upper of the two wings is about half an Inch in length, the lower a little shorter. The wings come together where they are joined to the body; they are otherwise separate. When the bee goes into its hive, it folds its wings together, one leaf over the other, so that they will take up less room. When it goes abroad, it spreads its wings and couples them together with the hooks. When looked at under the microscope, the upper edge of the lower wing is seen to be re -enforced as though it had an extra plate or rib stretched along there, and to this rib, spaced apart at regular intervals, though they are all contained within a total space of little more than a quarter of an inch, there are attached 19 or 20 tiny, bony hooks. There is a little thickening at the base of each hook, where nature has strengthened it, and one is inclined to regard the books as Inset separately and to look for the rivets wherewith they were secured to the plate or rib from which they spring. The lower edge of the upper wing, as looked at under the microscope, is seen to be curled up into a flange or trough. When the bee comes out of the hive, it hooks the hooks on the upper edge of thelowerwing into that flange or trough at the lower edge of the upper wing and so makes the two wings practical- ly one.—New York Sun. Japan's Queer Stores. Japanese are very fond of strolling through their bazaars. You enter at one door and leave by another. Goods for sale are displayed on each side of aisles that wind through the length of the shop. Passing up and down these aisles, they lead you to the sec- ond and often third story of the build- ing and then back again through dif- ferent aisles, causing you to travel the length of the establishment many times. Finally you see the doorway a few feet distant, but even then you must travel this maze several times its length to escape. Usually, shopping is very restful in Japan. You sit around on the floor, and in some shops they bring you cups of tea to sip and a "hibachi" from which to light your pipe.—Baltimore Sun. The Bachelor. A bachelor is a coward and a fail- ure.

I was staying there over night with a couple of cattlemen, and we naturally gravitated to the only resort in town, a sort of combination of bar and gambling house, in a rough one story building, containing a good sized single room. "The bar was on one side, and on the other were two or three 'Mexican monte' tables, over each of which were several large coal oil lamps in wall brackets. In the center of the place was a chandelier containing three more, altogether giving a good deal of light. We were sitting at one side smoking and talking, when in rushed half a dozen drunken cowboys, headed by a well known ranchman named Bill Wells. "The crowd were out for excitement and didn't care how they got it. They took several drinks and theu clustered around 'one of the monte tables. In a few moments Wells insisted upon mak- ing a bet over the limit, to which the dealer objected. 'It you don't turn for that bet, I'll shoot out your blankety blank lights!' bawled the ranchman. The leemit ez feety dollar,' said the Mexican dealer, and the words were no sooner out of his mouth than Wells and his gang pulled their six shooters and began blazing away at the lamps. "About 25 or 30 shots were fired, and almost at the outset the place was In complete darkness. Of course there was a stampede, but I remember being surprised that I bad heard no crash of glass. Half an hour later 1 went back and found the place lit up as brightly as ever, Wells and his cow- boys having been taken away by friends. The roof was full of holes, but not a single lamp had been hit. What had put them out was the con- cussion of the shots in a confined space." — New Orleans Times -Demo- crat An Unsought Pardon. Among the stories of that former governor of Texas familiarly known as Sam Houston is more than one amusing tale. There was a financial agent of the penitentiary who had warmly opposed the election of Governor Houston, but was particularly anxious to retain his own pleasantly lucrative position. Con- sequently the governor was soon in re- ceipt of a petition in which the man's years of faithful service and special qualifications for the place were set forth in glowing terms by himself. The governor sent for him and said gravely, "It appears from this petition that you have been in the penitentiary eight years." "I have," was the reply. "And during that time you have per- formed faithfully every duty that has come in your way to the best of your abllity?" "I have," answered the agent. his courage swiftly rising. "Then, sir," said the governor, with the air of one conferring a priceless favor, "1 pardon you out!"—Youth's Companion. Just In Time. "Hello! Is that Mr. Highmus' resi- dence?" "Is that you, Fanny?"

Having an appointment to preach at an insane asylum for the first time, the editor of The Christian Register asked the medical director for some points.

To salute with the left band is a deadly insult to Mohammedans in the east. u Continued fro,n hist Page. state is meant the people in their collect- ive capacity. The state, as we ordinarily use the term as referred to our govern- ment, is only another form of saying the people. I say the state is naturally in- terested in every improvement that takes place. We are interested in every new mill that goes up, every factory that is built, and every railroad that is built. This state is interested in every enter- prise that furthers civilization, that brings additional riches and development to the state. In a structure of this character, a workshop, if I may use the term to this one, the mills, factories, the railroads, and all these appliances of civilization simply form matter for the use and comfort of humanity. This workshop is devoted to a different and a holier use. It is not merely to shape inert matter, it shapes and moulds human souls to the most important work that can be discharged, the most important work to society and to the state. The education of the young, their culture and training, have always been of great im- portance to humanity, but it seems to me that perhaps there. was never a time when the state was more intensely inter- , eeted in education than now. There have always been burning questions, but it seems to me those of the -present time, by reason of the inveutions and discover- ies that are being projected all around us, I say there never was a time when there was greaterpeed of education than there is at the present time. We are living practically in a new era, and these new conditions and this new era have cast responsibilities upon society, have given us new conditions that we canuot resolve entirely on the old lines. I have had au opportunity to observe the beautiful growth and progress of this city. The last time that I was here was some thirty years ago, yes just thirty years ago. I came here on a- Load of wheat drawn by an ox team. That has been the experience of a great many in this audience. I remember the roads and the sand prairie between here and Cannon Falls. I do not recall that I saw a schoolheu__se here at that time. You certainly lna3 one. Hastings then was a good river town, but it wasn't what it is to -day. Minneapolis and St. Paul were very different from what they are to -day. I remember when the Fire & Marine building was the largest building in St. Paul; I remember when I attended the university that the City Hall down near the suspension bridge was the largest building iu Minneapolis, and this, too, within a brief period of years. With all your prosperity right here in Hastings, with all your development, with all your comfort and the enterprise of your peo- ple, it you should be cut off. from com- munication with St. Paul and Minneapo- lis; if the railroads should cease to run for two weeks, you would suffer inoon- venience, if not hardship. I simply mention this to recall to you the wonder- ful changes that have come about all over the country. Labor has become so divided that no man produces, even in a small degree, what he needs for his own comfort and sustenance, as was done in moat families forty or fifty years ago. This new condition of affairs has thrust upon us a thousand new problems to solve. To solve these rightly, to solve them wisely and in a spirit of liberality demands a higher citizenship, it demands a higher intelligence, it demands a higher public spirit, than when the questions were less difficult and less complicated. The common schools have been perhaps more t a h n env ether a potent factor to make America what it is to -day, but the time has come when theif training is not sufficient to solve ail these questions. Many of the questions leave to be solved by these young mein and women, these young men and women who are getting their education in the high schools. I believe that they have come because they were needed. Public opinion knew these questions were coming on and that they had to be solved, and we responded in the best way we could by educating and training young men and women to solve them from time to time. I can think of no better way of• solving these questionns correctly than in a workshop like this. I shall not occupy your time. There are other speakers who perhaps have. had more time to prepare for the occasion than I have, but I want to congratulate the president and the board of education, all the members of the board, on this building. It is a credit not only to the city of Hastings, but to the stage of Min- nesota. In turning it over as you did to thesuperiuteudent of your city schools and turning it over to the people of the city of Hastings I feel that you also turned it over to the state of Minnesota and its people. Already many young men and young women have gone forth from this city, a credit to the high schooL I expect that with the advance in years they will go forward in increased num- bers and briug still greater credit to the schools. I congratulate you- personally, offcially, and in behalf of the state, most sincerely and cordially. I do not know that it is proper for me to occupy your time. I may find it convenient to call on you again m the future, and it would certainly afford me great pleasure to do so. I have no doubt but that a great many of these young men and women come from homes where .their parents are not so situated that when they leave home they can expect a great deal of this world's goods, but look and consider what the public has done for you. You are getting more here in the way of edu- cation and training than is possessed by two-thirds of the members of congress, and more than is possessed by over one- half of the senators of the United States. I repeat to you that the education which yon will be enabled. to secure is greater. and more comprehensive than that pos- sessed by two-thirds of the lower house of congress and more them by one-half of the senators of the United States. Do not feel that yon are being cut off by the lack of a dollar. This may not have the itsoney valve to yon, but I am sure that you will not grow Hp to measure every- thing in• this world by the value of dol- lars tend cents. If you have= the dollars and cents well and good. If you get the education you will know how touse them; if you do not get the dollars you will have the training that will enable you to cq re them, and, what is more still, spy and contented if you cannot get them. Now, you know just as well as I do, perhaps, that education consists largely in disciplining the memory. It consists also in training your imagina- tion Your superintendent told me as I was coming in that you described these dedication exercises in advance of the event. It is excellent training. Yon,will have a great deal more of that. It you have that I think you will make very good newspaper men. It would be a cold world, a very discouraging world, if there were not a great deal of imagination, a great deal of faith. It is just as import- ant that you should acquire those things as well as to improve your understand- ing. I bid you God speed in your work, and I promise you that if the situation is such I shall be glad to come down on some future occasion and treat you in a more cordial manner, it possible, in a more acceptable way than I can to -night. I want to say to all that I can only ex- press one hope, that is to repeat practi- cally the words of your superintendent, that this building may long stand, that it may long continue its work, and that it may turn out generation upon genera- tion, as I trust it will, educated in a good, virtuous, prudent, and public spirited se Supt. Kunzc remarked "I have now come to the easiest task of the even- ing, that -of introducing a man who needa no introduction, the Hon. J. H. Lewis, state superintendent of public instruction." (Loud applause.) Mr. Lewis spoke as follows: Friends and neighbors, I shall not de- tain you to -night by any extended re- marks. For more than twenty-one years I have been talking to the people in and through the work that your children and myself and teachers have beeu doing in this town. To -night you are honored by the presenoeof the most distinguished men of this commonwealth, and I know that you wish to hear the message. that each of them` has to deliver. 1 will, how- ever, unite with Gov. Lind and those who are to follow, in congratulating you upon the completiou of this elegant building, a building that you erected with a view to the most economical and the most effective teaching of your chil- dren, and with a view to promoting both the physical and intellectual welfare of your teachers and scholars; a building that will stand as a monument to your liberality, as a monument to the sound business sense, and the efciency of our honored board of education. It stands as a testimonial to the outside world of the significance that this community at- taches to the education of ite children amid the happiest environments. For me it is an unspeakable pleasure td know that from now on it matters not how hard the lot and how unfavorable the home surroundings of the children of our hum• blest citizen, their school life shall be happy, their days shall be spent in a cheerful, wholesome, happy atmosphere surrounded b7 uplifting and enobling in- fiuenoes. Thus much, my friends, we owe to our children, we owe to the people and to the state that the intellectual and spirit- ual lives of our chiklren shall develop and unfold under the happiest and most favorable conditions. .Few of us appre- ciate the value of these external features of our work, of a schoolhouse, proper- ly constructed and conveniently arrang- ed, simply and suitably furnished, properly heated and : ventilated, with walls hung with the few pictures that appeal to the highest sense of the true and the good and the beautiful, withal, presided over by a teacher who is bright, cheerful, and happy,. these I say are in themselves a powerful factor in the edu- cation of any child. , Visit such a school if you can and you will see happiness, you will see it in the faoee df the children, you will see it in their eyes, tingling in their very finger tips I have often in visiting schools asked the teacher to let the children voice their happiness in song and have thought that this world affords few happier scenes and none more fraught with brighter hopes and larger promises for the future. Yes, as I have said, these educational environments count for much. The children that tread these halls will from the force of necessity do so with clean feet, clean in person and apparel, but what is more they will go forth from this school with clean thoughts and pure hearts and with higher aims if their teachers live in a full measure up to their opportunities I wo uld not however b e miennde rstooci I would not overvalue your achievements 'in this respect. This building is not the Hastings high soltool any more than the brick and mortar that you leveled to the dust was the old high school,. Itis not the magnificent building, nor' even mar- ble columns nor gilded domes nor ample resources that consttitute a great sohooL The true greatness of a school is in the abiding influence of character that radi- ates from the heart and the soul of those that teach, and of those who aro taught. Since 1872 yon have graduated from the old building almost three hundred young nnen and women. These, together with the hundreds that received instruction within the walls of the old high school, this army of young men and women that have won. honor and distinction for themselves, these young men and women are a living active force in the community. They are the old high school The young men and women that are to be instructed in this school and that are to go forth as graduates of the new high school will be the new high school. You have not yet built the new high school. You aIle laying but the foun- dation of the work that is to be done before the new high school is built, and so, Mr.. President and members of the board of education, and Mr. Super- intendent and teachers, it will be your duty, of course, to instruct the children who shall attend this school, but it will be your .higher duty to instill them with a proper degree of self esteem, to arouse their ambition, and while it will be your duty to develop their intellectual power, it will be your highest duty to divert those powers into some channel of use- ful service. Education has value in so far only as it enables its possessor to give. a higher, a larger, and a better service to his family, to his town, to his state, and to his God (applause). Our lawyers and octors, teachers and preachers, are ed- noated men, •but the valve of their edu- cation lies in the larger service they ren- der the community in which they live. Onr doctors in healing the sick, our lawyers in righting wrongs between man and man, teachers and preachers in in- creasing the efficiency and happiness of pupils and parishioner's. Our merobants and mechanics and bankers and farmers in increasing the effectiveness of human la- bor.I think it must have been some such thought as this that Ruskin had when he said that in the education of the clas- ses it matters now how much or how little they know so long as they know how to be eerticeable to the community and to be happy in that service. That man or woman is not educated because he or she can read Latin and behave himself or herself in the drawing room. He only is educated when he is busy, happy, and effective in life, and so, Mr. Superintend- ent and Mr. President, it is my devout wish, as it is the devout wish of all ppres- ent, that the new high school of Hast- ings shall be as superior, that the gradu- ates of this school shall be as much more efcient than those from the old school, as the new building is superior and greater to the building that you have Just left. Supt. Kunze remarked, '�We have , with us this evening a gentleman who is very hard to get, bt<tt we have him here, and will have a speech from Ili m. I now have the honor to in- troduce to you Dr. Cyrus Northrop, president of the state university." President Northrop said: I do not know that I am particularly hard to get. I go everywhere on call. These men came down here this after- noon. but there was a banquet which brought them down, and I do not go everywhere where I hear there is some- thing to eat I admit, but when there is any lite to be found anywhere, there you may count ine in. I did not come down intending to make a speech. I heard that Gov. Lind was to speak, and I was invited to hear him and other �tlemen, and I am very glad that I came. He has made some things clear in my mind which I did not understand ever since I was a boy. I always knew that congress was a difficult body to manage, and it was always -doing something that it ought not to do, but I never knew the reason. (applause). It seems that these men who have been going there to represent us have all been uneducated men. I do not mean anything personal to Gov. Lind, for he has always impressed me as a man of good education and sense, and I am exceediugly glad that we have such a man in the governor's chair, with educa- tion and the appreciation of the best things in the state, and I am no less glad that we have a superintendent of public instruction who is so heartily in sym- pathy and so full of new ideas as Supt. Lewis. I belong to the state high school board myself. I congratulate the people of the city of Hastings that they are permitted to see the high school board on parade all at one time (applause). I never went anywhere before when either of the other members would go with me. Whether it indicates a right spirit or whether that banquet this afternoon was the cause I don't know, but I am certain- ly very glad to have them here under any oonstiration whatever. When a man does a good thing he likes to be appreciated. When a man makes a good speech he likes to have somebody come up and tell him he did well. •Now Gov. Lind Inas made a fine speech (applause) and Mr. Donnelly' is going to make one of his characteristic speeches. I do not suppose that even Mr Donnelly, who has probably charmed more audiences than any man, I was going to say west of the Alleghenies, but I will make it west of the Atlantic Ocean, would not feel a little better if somebody would say "Mr. Donnelly, that was a fiue speech." I remember an ex- perience that I Mad in the first political speech I ever made. I was a boy; it was in 1856. I went in, and I tell you I soared h' h. I got a entail American eagle and let him loose, and there was a man in the audience who smiled on me all the way ;through, and when I got through the people generally went home. The managers gathered around me atter the meeting. Said I, "who was that man in the audience who smiled so much and seemed to agree with everything that I said?" They replied "Oh, he is a poor foolish fellow, who doesn't know any- thing." Now, this is not a treatise upon oratory, but is by way of introduotion to what I am going to say. When any- body has done a good thing he likes to be appreciated. Now you have done a beau- tiful thing and you like to be appreciat- ed, and I am exoeedinggl--y happy to be here and appreciate it. Mr. Lewis closed his remarks with an allusion to the old building that has gone down. I never had any respect for it whatever. I visited it a number of years ago and he was working there, without a particle of in- spiration in the building except Mr. Lewis and his teachers. Take out the walls and leave Mr. Lewis and his teach- ers and you would still have just as much ins iration. p Ladies and gentlemen, as I said here to -night, now you have torn down that old building, the scene of the labor 'of Mr. Lewis, in which he laid foundations that lie underneath . this structure, and you have built it simply for the education of your children: What is the dearest thing yon have on earth? It's here, right back of us. There isn't a b art . in the audience that does'nt feel that.here, somewhere among these boys and girls, is the most precious thing he has, and what should you do but build the best school building you can for the education of those who are so dear aid who expect so much pleasure and comfort from the education and training they get. Look back into the history of this couutry and you will see once in a while a man greater than the rest, that rises above all the rest, likehere and there a sturdy, vigorous tree tower- ing above all the others, but if you want to find the forest where all the trees are °smooth and regular, where they grow Mmeby h r, one with another in the p , you must go to a place like Hesse Darmstadt where the trees are cul- tivated the same as yon cultivate your cern and your wheat. Yon can go to New Hampshire and find Daniel Webster emerging from a humble cabin, the smoke going so far north that it can be seen in Canada, and you can go south and see emerging from a log cabin Abra- ham Lincoln, but you cannot have such men, nor men that approach to these men, nor men that are what the age re- 5uiros, by any such process as operated m the case of these few men, but you may have it by the discipline and the h attire . yen to 8l 1 our eh'1 8i i dren maki them each one capable of attending to the interests of lute, Why, those years when men could grow up self taught and be of any consequence have gone by. This world has gone on to such an ex- tent•that a man must not only have all the good things and a great many of them, bat he must have a great deal of know- ledge and the practical application of them which are now of so much importance in lite. Only last night reading in the paper there was this, that three Germans discovered a process by which to take the lignite of North Dakota, remove the impurities, so that the remainder could be reduced into excellent fuel, and it was said, and said truly, that if this process proved to be a success the discovery would revolutionize the condition of the whole northwest, and it would. Men groan this winter because they are pay- ing an exhorbitant price for coal. Is the world to go on always with a few men owning the necessaries of life and the rest struggling hard to buy at the price they put upon it, or is it possible that a high school student shall at any moment discover something by means of which this condition of affairs may be remedied ? Our young men and women must be trained to meet the problems that are constantly arising, and if your children are to be left where the children of the common schools were left when I was a boy this cannot be done. But I will not go on in that strain, it is too serious. It makes me unhappy until 1 turn around and look at these children; to see how much they are going to know. Why, dear boys and girls, you know more than I did when I was your age, and I don't know but what you know more than I do now. I hope you do, but go on and make the most of these opportunities furnished you by all the modern improvements that are coming in. I know your super- intendent here, he is one of my boys. God made him what he was originally, and he has proved a very fine scholar and a right down good manly fellow (ap- plause) and if your people do not appre- ciate him you are very ungrateful, and if the school children do not love him I shall have very little faith in the future of their love affairs (laughter). Now, just one word more by way of advice. It is not needed here I know. When you get a good teacher keep him, don't let him go because he felt that you are hardly sustaining him; that you are not interested in his work, or. that you are•not willing to support him thorough- ly in his work. Keep him. When you get a good corps of teachers keep them There is more force and power lost in this state by transferring teachers from one school to another than you can im- agine. Now if any man or woman comes in a school room the future is no experi- ment. They have got to know their pupils, they have got to study the char- acteristics of those whom they have in charge, to put their impress upon the character of your boys and girls. All their lives they will remember what that teacher taught them, not only what he taught, but what he was and what he did. He will bean example to them, and when you get such a teacher keep him. You kept Mr. Lewis a long time and he was faithful in the service. There is no need that I should plead for Supt. Kunze, he will take care of himself. I am pleading for you and your children and for all the other people of the state of Minnesota and for their children, that wheu they get a good teacher they shall keep him long enough to thoroughly put upon them the impre-s of his mind, thought, and character, for I tell you, after all, it is character that is worth everything (applause). It is not enough that a man has education, but what is he going to do with it? Fire is the best thing in the world, but who wants fire put into the hands of a maniac that he may burn everything. Things are according as they are used. We want things put into the .hands of people to do good. As I said before, the most important thing is character. These public schools are doing a world of good for Minnesota and the whole couutry. I want this country to be happy. I want Minnesota to be happy. I want the •people to be happy. I wish to huve people happy before they go to heaven. I -want them to have a taste of it before they go there. The same Clod who looks upon us with love and compassion, for whom we hope to live forever, bends over us here, looks down upon us in love, blesses us for what we have done and what you have done inerecting this building, and blesses us all as we stand together faithful one to another in upholding the things that are good. May he bless you, make you ever rejoioe in the good work that you have done for your children and your children's children. Mr. G. B. Alton, inspector of state high schools, was introduce& and spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman, members of the board of education .and the citizens of Hast- ings, in the presence of the distinguished people who are here this evening I am very well aware that in calling upon me to speak your superintendent simply desires to pay his respects to a depart- ment of this school known as the high school, and I shall strictly endeavor to pay my respects to the high school inter- ests of this state in the briefest manner possible. With the others who are here 1 have viewed its lower hall and walked about and noticed the rooms and ap- pliances which you have provided for the use of the pupils, and I climbed the stair- way and looked over the second floor with great satisfaction. I came up to this floor and I share with you in your pride that you Inave .provided for your school such beautiful quarters. I want to say just this, that whileyou have done your duty, you have done no more. You have not laid one stone in the foundation of this building which you ought not to have laid; neither have you placed one shingle over our heads that the people of this town ou ht not to • v hie it ac. g Pd no r r placed one brick in the walls that ought sot to have been placed, and I will tell you why. Some times I hear the idea expressed that the high school is some- thing extra, but l think not. 1 want to sa.y it is a portion of our educational system. Yesterday, and I may as well confess. 1 ran away from duty for a few hours to visit the old farm where I was brought up. 1 noticed that three men could in one-third of the time do three times as much work in the harvest field as we used to do. In corn cutting they drive out with three horse teams, gather it, put it through a machiue and turn out the corn not only husked, but shelled and run into the half bushel. You will flud that two men can with greater ease than used to be the case raise as much food as five men used t.o do. Now. where are the other three men? The last twenty-flye years has bee■ unparalleled in the hi§tory of the globe for the growth of towns. Our flour to no longer ground by the little windmill at the cross road, our clothing is no longer spun and woven in the old living room of the family. Factories have risen and the work is all done by machinery. The other three men are found in the towns. Twenty- five years has built up a great many towns. My sympathies are with the rural district and with rural life and with the rural worker. Towns have r oma and Q the • »re cin g � g to ,row with the improvement in labor saving ma- chines. That in the future fewer and fewer people will be required to yaise our food. That a smaller proportion of our people will be required upon the farm. The towns have come and are growing and are going to grow. The towns have come to the front; the people are gather- ing in towns, and the responsibilities of meeting these new conditions rests not upon the farm, but upon the people in the towns, and therefore, in erecting this high school building to educate our young people at home, for they cannot all go to college, is in line with a hun- dred other towns in Minnesota. You have simply done your duty, you have done it well, and I have sufficient confi- dence in the integrity and the push of our Minnesota:towns that they will continue to grow on so large a scale. Now, the peo- ple of Hastings feel no doubt that their school is about to take a new step for- ward. That is true. It cannot be other- wise that your school is about to enter upon a new stage of its work, but I want tosay to these young people and to these teachers that it has been my pleasure to visit a great .many schools, but I have never found a more cheerful willingness and politeness and hospitality than I experienced in this same old building that has been leveled to the ground (ap- plause), and I can express no greater wish for your further prosperity and happiness than to hope that the young people in the school now will equal their older brothers and sisters in that free way in which they went to their tasks and their willingness to learn. Supt.Kunze said, "In preparing this programme it hecame evident that it would be incomplete without having upon it the name of Ignatius Don- nelly, whom I now have the pleasure of iutioducing." He said: Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, I have listened as all of you have with a great deal of pleasure to all that has pre- ceded us here to -night, but it had to me something of -a personal application and feeling. i am the only one participating here to -night of those who took part in the proceedings thirty-one years ago at the laying of the corner atone of the building which preceded this. 1 have lived here and witnessed the remarkable growth of this country, and from this spot casting my eye over the world 1 have witnessed the extraordinary growth of these United States. I came here first in 1856, now nearly forty-four years ago. Fortunately I am married or I would not allude to that fact in the presence of all these handsome young ladies. (laughter) Nearly forty-four years ago 1 first set foot in this territory•, and it was indeed a wild scene. I drove down with three friends, a pair of horses, and a carriage from St. Paul, and I entered this city of Hastiaga from the west by what I suppose now is Fourth or Fifth Street. It is no exagger- ation when I say that the stumps along that road were as high as this table here. I can vouch for that fact because I re- member when going at a rapid gait into town one of those struck the axle of the carriage and you might imagine the consequence (laughter). We did not spring out, but went out in a leap frog fashion. I remember distinctly how I gripped the earth when'I struck it. They tell as that when William the Conquerer landed on the coast of England, just previous to the battle of Hastings, that as the army was marching up the shore from their boats William stumbled and fell. It was a yery superstitious age and his army looked on it with horror as it was considered a very bad omen, but Wil- liam, a brave and resourceful old fellow, stuck his hands into the mud and said "Thus, I take possession of England," and the army shouted itself hoarse and went forth to conquor. Now, that is the way I took possession of Hastings. I' have not always managed to hold it since that time. It has slipped through my fingers some times, but my friends, at that time, iu 1858, this section of coun- try here might be callte(i, the jumping off place. Two years subsequent 1 visited Glencoe, the other side of the big woods, and there they told ine buffalo could be found within nine miles of that place. Think of it uow, my friends, where are the buffalo? Think of the tremendous states that have grown up between here and the Pacific coast, North and South Dakota, Moutana, Idaho, Oregon, Wash- ington, a world subdued, a continent completed. My friends, tt is a great thiug to say I have lived through such events as these; it is a tremendous thing for as to be able to say the good God has cast our lines in these pleasant places. The most crowded fifty years that has ever been known in the history of the human race. Gladstone said mankind has grown more in the last fifty years than it slid in the previous one thousand. It has advanced more in the last seventy- five years than it did in the previous seven hundred and fifty years. We may claim that it has advanced more in the fifty years that we have just passed through than it ever did before, so far as history preserves it for us; and, my friends, itis a great pleasure to me, it was the best time I had seen. In going through the building I was surprised at the completeness of all its details. I do not want to flatter you, but I gladly say that this America, in point of educatio■ and influence, will compare with any country in the world (applause). I have spoken and lectured on both sides of the Atlantic. I have lectured in West - minister Hall in London, and I undertake to say there is more intelligence in this America than in any land on earth, and more intelligence in Minnesota than in any part of tine United States, and there is more intelligence in Nininger than there is in any part of this state (loud applause). It is not surprising therefore that you have so much intelligence in Hasti.gs'wheu you are within four miles of the town of Nininger (loud applause), But seriously, my friends, I take it that a schoolhouse is God's temple. why, be- cause he made all the eighty millions of brains of the people of this country, and he intends that they shall be enlightened, and they cannot be enlightened without education and without public schools supported at the cost of the whole people. (applause) The ignorant man, I do not say it derogatively to any poor man who did not have the opportunity, but the ignorant man is net only a danger to him- self. but to all around him. Why he even applies too often the knife of suicide to his throat, This was seen not long since when the uneducated people of Spain where the ignorance was over- whelming, when, without enlightenment of this portion of the world, they entered into a hopeless struggle with this great country. It was the battle of an infant against a giant. If the public schools could have trained those people for two or three generations they would never have fallen Into such an error. These public schools are the heart and founda- tion of the United States. When I was in England they told me they could re- cognize an American, than or woman, even though they were attired in clothes manufactured in England, by the manner in which they carried themselves. There was something, as they say, in the cut of their jib. A distinguished gentieman, an American, told me that when he was traveling in Germany, he bought a mag- azine, the leaves of which were uncut, and used the cardboard that was his rail- road ticket to cut them. Two Germaas seated opposite noted this, and one said to the other "Amerikaner." There was the quick witted adaptation of means to ends which has made us the greatest in- ventive nation in the world, and, my friends, education is not alone the accum- ulation of facts called knowledge, but it is the training of the muscles of the mind so that the quick intellect is able to solve any problem presented to it. This, my friends, is what this educational system has done for us. and, thank God, that the first settlers, when they sat around their table after a stormy voyage over those dreadful seas, one of the first things they put in their framing of government was that there should be a school in every town of the colony, to be supported by the whole people. Yet, my friends; great sod noble as our public institutions are, they do not cover everything. They will make au educated man, but there must be with this something higher and uobler, something that touches upon the relationship between the living being and the God that made him, and so, my friends, religion comes in to supplement education. Education takes the cobwebs out of the mind, fills it up with knowl- edge, then comes religion to complete the work. Thus, my friends, we oust look to the greatness of this nation. We must be a people well educated, not like a wolf that devours its fellows, but it must be of a character which sends the sentiment above , all the other considerations. If we can have these two things moving together we have got the greatest nation that ever existed on the face of the globe, and in short, my friends,I solemnly believe that before all this marvelous advance, this accelerated advance of fifteen hun- dred years back, that beyond it all are the sublime purposes of the great being who moved the stars and the forces. So, my friends, I am here to -night with you after thirty-one years to once more rejoice with you, to once more preach the blessed cause of education, to once more appeal to the noble men and women of Hastings who have so liberally put their hands in their pockets and subjected themselves to taxation and debt to erect .this build- ing. The money is not thrown away, it will never be wasted. If the earth steads for a thousand years, nay for a thousand generations, this building and those that will follow on the same site will do its part in the development of the human race. My friends, I shall not trespasa DEFECTIVE PAGE longer upon your attention, it is grow late, but I will say in conclusion th am very happy to be with you to-ni and I hope that after thirty-one yea will be here. again to see you. I am ling to stay just as long as the Lord let me, and not like the old lady and gentleman who said, "madam, do know you are going todie?" "Yes," s the old lady, "and I am willing to go all my neighbors are willing to have m (applause) I have not got that feel that I am going to be as happy and co fortable in the next world as this. I not sure that I will have as nice set bors; they might have tails with arr heads ou them. But, my friends, I w bring my remarks to a conclusion wishing you all long life and happine by wishing you that from your commi ling here of the best races of the wo that are congregated in this land of ou and I was thinking to -night as I look around this group of flowers before that whether it was the German, or E lisp, or the Irish, or the Swedish race any other race, give them favorable c ditions and they blossom out so that y cannot tell what country their ancesto came from, and out of the shuffle these people united together we are got to give the world such men as were luded to to -night, the Daniel Webst and Abraham Lincolns. Poor Abrah Lincoln, sleeping upon a withered bed fallen leaves, in a house without door windows, studying his books by the lig of the pine torch. see what he rose what wisdom he displayed, and so, friends, out of these conditions anoth Lincoltn will come forth, for God nev yet brought a crisis upon humanity tb he did not send a saviour to save it. my friends, I hope this building will se forth men that will honor you and pro a blessing to hurnanity. I thank you f your attention. Supt. Kunze said that "he now h the honor to introduce our popul state senator, whom we all think so much of, the Hon. Albert Schaller," who said: Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, I know you are glad to see me, because when my name is announced it is gener- ally near the end of .she programme. Now I feel the same way. 1 feel that whenever I get any applause it is because the audieuce knows there is going to be a short speech made, and then they can go home, and I will not disappoint you this evening. You have all listened with pleasure to the praise that has been given to the city of Hastiugs for doing what has seemed to be a plain duty. We have just found out what we supposed was the proper thing to do wassomething that was great, that we were really following the lines of development and did some- thing wonderful that surprised tine rest of .the work:, and did it with the ordi- nary business of every day life. We did these great things, just tossed them off in our leisure moaseets; that's how we built this schoolhouse. I do not claim any personal credit, but you all remember 1 was the first one that thought of it. It was ou'the 17th of May, and on the 18th of May we had an election. and voted for the schoolhouse. No trouble for us to do anything. 1 want to say right here to- night that no really great man has ever existed in Minnesota unless he had some- time in his life been a resident of Hast- ings (applause). Now I do not speak from personal experience. One man tells us he a c me here w' h it an ox team and now he is governor, another one says he came in a carriage, and he is now running for vice president, and if we had our way about'it he would he elected. Mr. Don- nelly has said in the course of his re- marks that he had taken possession of Hastings. but could not always held it. We have always been proud of him, and in the days of our need he has always been with us. Whenever we wanted any- thing he has been able to carry it, and on any proposition he wanted to adopt we have always been willing to help him. 1 say to the man who are here to -night, Ghat whenever they ask for assistance outside somewhere or anywhere some Hastings man turns up who can lend them a hand. I want to say another thing. we have succeeded in doing these things as we have done because we have been a more united people perhaps. As the city grew older we began to know our interests better. How long is it since this city electrified the legislature and carried it, not more than two years ago that thing was accomplished by aid of the very men you see here to -night, accomplished by our citizens, men who were strictly in it. I date the progress of Hastings. I date the heartfuloeas of its citizens, I date them from the time when we went to face and fight a common enemy; from the time when right or wrong we carried off the hturels. United we could stand against the world, except Minnesota. You know, and those who are present here know, that we have made a remarkable record for a little city. I mean this for the peo- ple behind my back; they don't know us as well as we know ourselves. We sim- ply do what we see, what is shown for us to do, and we unite because we know by this time that it is the only way to accomplish anything. Now everything that we have got is the best there is. There isn't a better school board than the one before you. There never was as happy and bright and cheerful a lot of young men and women as there are here, and so it is we have got the best of every- thing. We have got the best mayor, we have got the best representative, and we have got the best state senator we ever had in two years, (laughter). Ladies and gentlemen, you will soon be wanting to get ready for church so I want to thank you for showing these people, these strangers, just what you are and what you can do when there is anything that goes to the betterment of ourselves. When- ever they need a helping hand on a ques- tion that bothers them all they have got to do is to call on Hastings. If they wane a governor they can throw their hat in the crowd and the first man they hit is better than any other man in the state of Minnesota. ing at I ght, rs I wil- will the you aid and e." tog m - am gh- ow ill by Ss, ng- rld rs, ed me ng - or on- ou rs of ng al- ers am of or ht to, my er er at So, ud ve or ad ar Atter the exercises a reception committee consisting of Dr. Adsit, Supt.

Ebony was known and highly es- teemed" by the ancients as an article of luxury and was used by them for a variety of purposes. In India it is said that it was em- ployed by kings for scepters and also for images. On account of its sup- posed antagonism to poisons, it was used lamely for drinking cups. The name ebony is given to the wood of several varieties of trees. All kinds of ebony are distinguished for their great density and dark color. The wood in all varieties is heavier than water. The heaviest varieties are the darkest. The other grades require a considerable amount of staining to make them black. Ebony is of a uniform color through- out and will not show any deteriora- tion even from long continued use. There are three varieties of ebony well known in commerce. The ebony from the Gaboon coast of Africa is the darkest. The Madagascar ebony is the densest. The Macassar ebony furnish- es the largest pieces. It is sold by weight. Imitations of ebony can always be distinguished by their lighter weight, and the cheaper imitations can be de- tected by merely scratching the sur- face.—Jewelers' Weekly. A Mexican Gambler. Don Felipe Martel, the famous ganr bling house proprietor of the City of Mexico, had made a fortune In the business before the government decid- ed to abolish gambling houses by levy- ing on them a license tax of $1,000 a day. One by one the gambling houses closed, and when the field was clear Don Felipe Martel approached the au- thorities with $1,000 in cash and de- manded a day's license. In a few hours his place was thronged. At a single stroke he had won the patronage of Mexico, and his doors have never been closed since. The daily outlay of $1,000 is not missed from the daily revenue of thousands. His strong re- ligious tendencies are so well known that nobody was surprised when ne built in the village of San Angel a church that cost more than $550,000. The poor people of the vicinity, and many of the rich as well, have come to regard him as a sort of fairy prince. Hls own style of living encourages this belief. Tlie Martel mansion In the City of Mexico is a magnificent affair, constantly filled with guests. A curi- ous feature is that it contains 40 win- dows—the number of cards in the Mex- ican deck. Enormous Pendulums. The only structures in Japan which seem to be earthquake proof are the pagodas, which are erected before the temples. There are many which are 700 or 800 years old and as solid as when first built. There is a reason for this and it Iles in their construction. A pagoda is prac- tically a framework of heavy timbers, which starts from a wide base, and is in itself a substantial structure, but is rendered still more stable by a peculiar device. Inside the framework and sus- pended from the apex is a long, heavy beam of timber two feet thick or more. This bangs from one end of the four sides; four more heavy timbers, and if the pagoda be very lofty still more tim- bers, are added to these. The whole forms an enormous pendulum, which reaches within six inches of the ground. When the shock of an earthquake rocks the pagoda, the pendulum swings in unison and keeps the center of grav- ity always at the base of the frame- work. Consequently the equilibrium of the pagoda Is never disturbed, and this is the explanation of the great age of many of them, why. from their height one would suppose t..em to be peculiar - 1 y susceptible to the effects o! the earthquake. Origin of tihe Dolly. From the name of Robert D'Oyley originated the word doily. A grant of land was given to him in the reign of William of Normandy on condition that he should give yearly a table- cloth of at least 3 shillings' value at the feast of St. Michael. According to the custom of the times, the women of his family were skillful with the needle and felt great pride in embroidering their "quit rent table- cloths." In time these cloths came to be valuable and were used as napkins at the royal table. They were called "D'Oyleys." A Sugar Plain. "I bad my picture taken today," said little Christine. "1 crossed my arms and leaned on a chair, and the picture man put my head in some tongs." "Why, you must have looked like a lump of sugar*. 1n sugar tongs," laughed papa.

The fakirs' fair given by the ladies of St. Luke's Church at the Yanz Theatre on Wednesday evening was a grand success in every respect. It opened with a grand march in which every vender known to the city was represented, and the hall rang with their street cries. Here were found the strolling nTiustrels, fruit sellers, the blind man, the bakery carts, the tea woman, the dago band and monkey, and even the Indian squaw with her canoes and baskets. Atter the march the fakirs mingled with the crowd and disposed of their wares, each one being well patronized. During the evening a programme, consisting of vocal music by Mrs. P. H. Linley and Miss Hildegarde A. Palmstrom, recitation, Simple Simon, by C. H. Walker, serpentine dance by Miss Martha 1.. Rion, and a series of tableaux, was acceptably rendered.

Rich, Louise Todd and Messrs. C. G. Ames, J. P. Freas, E. C. Anthony, F. W. Kramer, W. G. Matteson, , and T. J. Griffin took part.

The receipts were considerably over $100. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local Replications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafneee, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

HIS THIRTIETH BIRTHDAY ist On That Day He Decided to Re- pounce Preferment For the Girl He Loved. By Lloyd Osborne. P� His thirtieth birthday! His fiat youth was behind him, with all its heartburniugs, its failures, its mani- fold humiliatious. \'hat had he done these years past but drift, forlorn, pen- niless and unattached, over those -shal- lows where others had stuc!s and pros- pered? In the colonies he had toiled nnre- mittiu ly i half u tali a hundred , characters, groom, cook, boundary rider, steamer roustabout. always sinking, always failing. Itad life nothing more for him than au endless succession of not empty days ou the farthest beach of Upolu, with scarcely more to eat than the commonest Kanaka and no other outlet for his energies than the barter- ing of salt beef for coprah and an oc- casional night's fishing on the reef? The noise of au incoming boat drew him to the door, and he looked out to ' see the pastor's old whaler heading through the pass. A half grown girl leaped into the water and hastened up to the store with something fastened in a banana leaf. It was a letter. which she shyly handed to the trader. Walter Kinross looked at it with sur- prise, for it was the first he had re- ceived for, four years, and the sight of its Ettkist stanip and familiar hand- writing filled him with something like awe: My Dear Nephew -I know you're pretty old to come back and start life afresh here, but 0 you haven't had the unmitigated folly to get married out there and tied S5,• the leg forever I'll help you to make a new start, if you have the gilt to do it.

Affectionately yours, ALFRED BANNOCK. The house could not contain him and his eager thoughts; he must needs feel the sky overhead and the trades against his cheek, and take all nature into his puny confidence. Besides, Vaiala had now a new charm for him, one he had never counted on to find. Hard and lonely though his life had been, this Samoan bay was endeared to him by a thousand pleasant memories and even by the recollection of his past unhappiness. Here he had found peace and love, freedom from taskmasters, scenes more beautiful than any picture, and, not least, a sufficiency to eat. A little money, and his life might have been tolerable, even happy; enough money for a good sized boat, a COW or two, and those six acres of the Pascoe estate he had so often longed to buy. How often had he talked of it with Leata, who had been no less eager than himself to harness their quarter acre to the six and make them all his little paradise. Poor Leata, whom he had taken so lightly from her father's house and paid for in gunpowder and kegs of beef; his smiling, soft eyed Leata, who would have died for him! What was to become of her in this new arrangement of things. By this time he had worked quite round the bay, and almost without knowing it he found himself in front of Paul Englebert's store. Englebert was the other trader In Valais, a peppery, middle aged Prussian, who had been a good friend of his before those seven breadfruit trees had come between them. He recalled Englebert's rough, jovial kindness, remembered how Paul had cared for him through the fever, and helped him afterward with money and trade. How could he have been so petty as to make a quarrel of these bread- fruit trees? Poor old Paul! It was a shame they hadn't spoken these two years. On the veranda, barefoot and in striped pyjamas, was Englebert, pre- tending not to see him. To Kinross. as he walked up the path and mounted the veranta stairs, the man looked old and sick, and not a little changed. "How do you do, Englebert?" he said. The German looked at him with smoldering eyes. "Gant you see I'm busy?" he said. "You might offer a matt a chair," said Kinross, seating himself on the tool chest. "Dere Is no jare for dem dat isn't wel- come," said the German. I used to be welcome here," said Kinross. "There was a time when you were a precious good friend of mine. Paul Englebert." "Dat wase long ago," said the trader. "I've been thinking," said Kinross, "that I've acted like a fool about those trees." "Dat wass what I was clinking, too, dese two-dree years," responded the other. "Take them; they are yours," said Kinross. "You can build your fence there tomorrow." b. said Englebert with dawning .elligence. "De Yerman gonsul has oast to my gonlplaint listened." "Hang the German consul! No!" et'i Kinross. "I dolt myself because 1 w wrong; because you were good to that time I was sick and lent me t $100 and the trade." "And you want nodlug?" asked E glebert, still incredulous. "I want to shake your hand and friends again, old man," said Kinros "same as we used to be when we pla ed dominos every night, and you'd to me about the Austrian war, and ho the prince divided the caigars with yo when you were wounded." The German looked away. "Oh, Ki ross," he saki, with a queer shlnin look in his eyes, "you make me muc ashamed." He turned suddenly rou and wrung the Englishman's hand i an iron grasp. "I too, wase fool. H Melia, de beer!" His strapping native wife appeare with bottles and mugs. At the sight o their guest she could scarcely concea her surprise. "Prosit," said Englebert, touchin glasses. "You know dem six agers of d Pasgoe estate," he said, looklpg ver hard at his companion; "very nice tial place, very sheep, yoost behind you store?" Kinross nodded, but his face fell, i spite of himself. "I from the American gonsul bough him," went on the German, "ver sheep—$200 Chile money." Kinross looked black. "Dey are yours. Pay me back whe you have de money. I buy dem onl to spite you. My friend, take dem." "Paul, Paul," cried Kinross, "I don' know what to say—how to thank you Only this morning I got money from home, and the first thing I meant to do was to buy them." "All de better," said Englebert, "and, my boy, you blant goffee. It's de gof- fee dat bays, and I will get you blenty leetle drees from n 0 1 1 y friend, de gap- tain in Utumbau blantation. Yoost one glass beer. Ho, Malta, de beer!" Kinross tore himself away with dif- ficulty and started homeward• his heart swelling with kindness for the old Prussian. He exulted in the six acres he had so nearly lost, and they now seemed to him more precious than ver. Then he remembered he was leaving Vaiala, and again be heard the hum of London In his ears. He found Leata sitting on the floor pelling out "The Good News Fromew Guinea," in the missionary maga- Ine. He sat down beside her and ressed her curly hair against his lips nd kissedit. "Of all things in the world what ouldst thou like most, Leata?" he sked. "To have thee always near me, Kini- rosi," she answered. "Before I had no nderstanding and was like the black eople in the missionary book, but now y heart is pained, so full it is with ve." "But if I gave thee a little bag of old," he said, "and took thee to Apia. y pigeon, what wouldst thou buy?" "First I would give $10 to the new hurch," she began. "Then for my fa- er 1 would buy an umbrella and a Iny bag in which he could carry his artridges and tobacco when he goes war; for my mother, also an unl- ella and a picture book like that of e missionary's, with photograAlhs of ueen Victoria and captains of men-of- ar; for my sister, a Bible and a mnbook, and for my brother a little geon gun." "Tomorrow we shall go to Apia and y them," said Kinross. "This morn - g the pastor brought me a letter front ritain with a present of many dol rs." "Oh, Kinirosi," she cried, "it wa eaking my heart! I feared the letter ould make you go back to the white an's country." His resolution was taken, be it for od or evil.

A railway recently built in southern Bavaria practically carries a creek across the railway, instead of the rail- way crossing the creek. The stream is a small tributary of the Isar river. that in stormy times is swelled to enor- mous proportions. Every bridge that has been built over it has been carried away. Finally a young engineer offered to solve the difficulty. A tunnel of strong masonry was first constructed across the valley and re - enforced on the outside, turned toward the torrent with all the rocks availa- ble that had collected there. Cross walls leading from the solid rock and across the tunnel were built and strongly braced. This was done to protect the railway-. The rest was left for nature to do. At the first strong rain everything happened as the young engineer had predicted. Bowlders and rocks coming down with the water filled up the big hole left between the tunnel and the rocks, until the over- flow carried everything across the tun- nel. The bed of the torrent was raised by Itself, and now there is not the slightest danger of interruption in this part of the railroad even after the most severe rainstorm.

An Aluminium Case With Previsions For Twenty Days. Charles Elias, who lives at Peter Foley's cottage, at Great Nees, N. Y., has started on a career of philan- thropy, says the New York World. - He has invented a life' saving appa- ratus, and, instead of at once patenting it so as to get a "rake off," or profit on all lives saved by it, he gives it to the public. It was the recent distressing ship- wreck of the Norwegian bark Drot, ELIAS LIFE BUOY. whose castaway crew resorted to can- nibalism, that caused Mr. Elias to try to devise a remedy for such disasters. The apparatus which he has invented is a water tight barrel shaped alumin- ium case seven feet high and weighing but 12 pounds. This is weighted with lead at the bottom to insure its stand- ing upright in the water. It is made in halves, which open with rubber hinges on one side and fasten together' on the other side. It is large enough around to hold a big man or woman and child.. At first it might be imagined that it would be hard to get inside this peculiar life pre- server, but by opening the aluminium cylinder a person may step into it and shut It after him as easily as he goes through a door and closes it after him. The cylinder is made water tight with clamps on the inside. On the outside it looks like a buoy. There is a set of pockets on the in- side of the case for storing a 20 days' supply of food and water. What Might Have Hees. "Now, I suppose," remarked Mrs. Snaggs, "that the surgeons of the army are attached to the medical corps." "Your supposition does you great credit," replied Mr. Snaggs sarcastic- ally. "It's a wonder you didn't imag- ine that doctors joined the army for the purpose of building bridges or go- ing up in a ba110 n. Where should army surgeons be ecept in the medic- al corps?" "Well, I thought that they might pos- sibly belong to the lancers."—London Standard. Between Two Fires. Squib—The editor seems to have the usual run of enemies. Scrib—Yes.

His great soul now rotas in eternal peace. His private life was pure and elevated, while his pub- lic career was ever distinguished by large capacity, stainless integrity and exalted motives. He has been removed from the high office which he honored and digni- fied, but his lofty character, his devotion to duty, his honesty of purpose and noble virtues remain with us as a priceless leg - $y and example. Condition of Unusual Prosperity. The Fifty-sixth congress convenes in Its first regular session with the country ie a condition of unusual prosperity, of universal good will among the people at home, and in relations of peace and friendship with every government of the world. Our foreign commerce has shown great increase in volume and value. The combined imports and exports for the year are the largest ever shown by a sin- gle year in all our history. Our exports for 1899 alone exceeded by more than a billion dollars our imports and exports combined 1n1870. The imports per capita are 20 per cent less than in 1870, while the exports per capita are 58 per cent more than in 1870, showing the enlarged ca- pacity of the United States to satisfy the wants of its Own increasing population, as well as to contribute to those of the • peoples of other nations. Manufactured Exports Exceed Imports. Exports of agrioultuaal produots were *784,776,142, Of manufactured products we exported in value $389,592,146, being larger than any previous year. It is a noteworthy fact that the only years in all our history when the products of our manufactories sold abroad exceeded those bought abroad were 1898 and 1899. Government receipts from all sources for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1899, in- cluding $11,798,814.14, part payment of the Central Pacifio railroad indebtedness, aggregated $610,982,004.85. Customs re- ceipts were /206,128,481.75, and those from revenue $J73,487,161.51. For the fiscal year, the expenditures were $700,093,564.02, leaving a deficit of $89,111,559,67. The secretary of the treasury estimates that the receipts for the current fiscal year will aggregate $640,958,112, and upon the basis of present appropriations the expenditures will aggregate $600,958,112, leaving a surplus of $40,000,000. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1899, the internal revenue receipts were in- creased about $100,000,000. Strength of the Treasury. The present gratifying strength of the treasury is shown by the fact that on Dec. 1, 1899, the available cash balance was $278,004,837.72, of which t,239,744,905.36 was in gold coin and bullion. The conditions of confidence wilich prevail throughout the country have brought god into more general use and customs receipts are now almost entirely paid in that coin. The strong condition of the treasury with respect to cash on hand and the favorable showing made by the revenues have made it possible for the secretary of the treasury to take action under the provisions of section 3695, Revised Stat- utes, relating to the sinking fund. 4 A BANKING AND CURRENCY. Gold Standard and Enlarged Power. for National Ranks. Increased activity in industry, with its welcome attendant -a larger employmeut for labor at higher wages -gives to the body of the people a larger power to ab- sorb the circulating medium. It is fur- ther true that year by year, with larger areas of land under cultivation, the in- creasing agricultural products, cotton, corn and wheat, call for a larger volume of money supply. This is especially noticeable at the orop harvesting and crop moving period. In its early history the national bank- ing act seemed to prove a reasonable avenue through which needful additions to the circulation could from time to time be made. Changing conditions have ap. parently rendered it now inoperative to that end. The high margin in bond se- curities required, resulting from large premiums whioh government bowls own - mend in the market, or the tax on note issues, or both operating together, appear to be the influences which impair its pub. lie utility. The attention of congress is respectfully hivited to this important matter with the view of ascertaining whether or not such reasonable modifications can be made in the national banking act as will render its service in the particulars here referred to more responsive to the people's needs. I again urge that national banks be au- thorized to organize with a capital ot $25,000. Gold Standard Should Be Maintained. I urgently recommend that to support the existing gold standard, and to main- tain "the parity in value of the coins of the two metals (gold and silver) and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the market and in the payment of debts," the secretary of the treasury be given additional power and charged with the duty to sell United States bonds and to employ such other effective means as may be necessary to these ends. The au- thority should include the power to sell bonds on long and short time, as condi- tions may require, and should provide fen a rate of interest lower than that fixed by the act of Jan. 14, 1875. Our receipts now equal our expend'. Sures; deficient revenues no longer create alarm. Let us remove the -only remain - Ing cause by oonferring the full and nee. msary power on the secretary of the treas. nry and impose upon him the duty to up- hold present gold Standard and preserve the co?hs 01 588 two metals on a Darity With eaoh other, which is the repeatedly declared polio, of the 'United States. In this connection I repeat my former recommendations that a portion of the gold hMdings shall be placed in a trust fund from which greenbacks shall be re- deemed upon presentation, but when once redeemed shall not thereafter be paid out except for gold. The Merehant Maria. The value of an American merchant marine to the extension of our commer- cial trade and the strengthening of our power upon the sea invites the immediate action of congress. Our national devel- opment will be one-sided and unsatis- factory In long as the remarkable_growth of our' inland industries remains una compauied by progress on the seas. c- lishruent and delimitation of a permanent boundary. i Apart from these questions growing out of our relationship with our nothern neighbor, the most friendly disposition and ready agreement have marked the discussion of numerous matters arising in the vast and intimate intercourse of the United States with Great Britain. This government has maintained an at- titude of neutrality in the unfortunate contest between Great Britain and the Boer states of Africa We have remained faithful to the precept of avoiding en- tangling alliances as to affairs not of our direct concern. Had circumstances sug- gested that the parties to the auarrel would have welcomei any kindly expres- sion of the hope of the American people that war might be averted, good offices would have been gladly tendered. violence Against Allens. THE TRUST QUESTION. 00IRDMOS Shotag Thnr.ughiy Invest! gate and Apply -Remedies. Combinations of capital organized to control the conditions of trade among Our citizens, to stifle competition, limit production and determine the price of products used and consumed by the peo- ple, are justly provking public discussion, and should early claim the attention of the congress. The industrial commission, created by the act of the congress of June 18, 1898, has been engaged in extended hearings upon the disputed questions involved in the subject of combinations in restraint of trade and competition. They have not yet completed their investigation of this subjeot, and the oonclusions and recom- mendations at which they may arrive are undetermined. The subject is one giving rise to many divergent views as to the nature and variety or cause and extent of the injuries to the public which may result from large combinations concentrating more or less numerous enterprises and establishments, which previously to the formation of the combination were carried on separately. It is universally conceded that combin- ations which engross or control the mar- ket of any particular kind of merchandise or commodity necessary to the general community, by suppressing natural and ordinary competition, whereby prices are unduly enhanced to the general consumer, are ebuoxious not only to the common law but also to the public welfare. There must he a remedy for the evils involved in such organizations. If the present law can be extended more certainly to control or check those monopolies or trusts, it should be done without delay. Whatever power the congress possesses over this most important subject should be promptly ascertained and asserted. Quotations are made from the annual 'passage of President Harrison Dec. 3, 1889, and that of President Cleveland Dec. 7, 1896, the former recommending a iaw for the better control of such combina- tions, and the latter, commenting upon the law enacted in 1890, questioning whether the Federal jurisdiction in the matter is sufficient, Continuing the president says: The state legislation to which Presi- dent Cleveland looked for relief from the evils of trusts has failed to accomplish fully that object. This is probably due to a great extent to the fact that different states take different views as to the proper way to discriminate between evil and in- jurious combinations and those associ- ations which are beneficial and necessary to the business prosperity of the country. The great diversity of treatment in differ- ent states arising from this cause and the intimate relations of all parts of the coun- try to each other without regarding state lines in the conduct of business have made the enforcement of state laws difficult. It is apparent that uniformity of legis- lation upon this subject in the several states is much to be desired. It is to be hoped that such uniformity, founded in a wise and just discrimination between what is injurious and what is useful and neoesrary in business operations, may be obtained, and that means may be found for the congress within the limitations of its constitutional power so to supplement an effective code of state legislation as to make a complete system of laws through- out the United States adequate to compel a general observance of the salutary rules to which I have referred. FOREIGN RELATIONS. Friendliness Has Characterised Dealings With Other Nations. A review of our relations with foreign states is presented with such recommen- dations as are deemed appropriate. Many of the references are to minor incidents ana events in states on this oontine Our increasing intimate relations with Germany are cited at considerable length, the history of Nicaragua canal negotia- tions during the past year is given, and the appointment of a new commission de- tailed Good progress has been made by this commission, but under the law a comprehensive and complete investigation is called for, which will require much labor and considerable time for its accom- plishment. The work will be prosecuted as expeditiously as possible, and a report made at the earliestypraoticable date. The great importance of this work can- not be too often or too strongly pressed upon the attention of the congress In my message of a year ago I expressed my views of the necessity of a canal whioh Would link the two great oceans, to which I again invite your consideration. The reasons then presented for early action are even stronger now. Alaskan Boandary and Other Matters In my last annual message I referred to the pending negotiations With Great Brit- ain iu respect tio the dominion of Canada. By means of an executive agreement a joint high commission had been created for the purpose of adjusting all unsettled questions between the United States and Canada, embracing twelve subjects, Among which were the questions of the fur seals, the fisheries of the coast and contiguous inland waters, the Alaskan boundary, the transit of merchandise in bond, the alien labor laws, mining rights, reciprocity in trade, revision of the agree- ment respecting naval vessels in the Great Lakes, amore oomplete marking of parts of the boundary, provision for the con- veyance of criminals, and for wrecking and salvage. Much progress had been made by the commission toward the ad- justment of many of these ques- tions where it became apparent that an irreconcilable difference of views was rtertained respecting the delimitation of he Alaskan boundary. In the failure of an agreement as to the meaning of arti- cles 3 and 4 of the treaty of 1825 between Russia and Great Britain, which defined the boundary between Alaska and Can- ada, the American oommissioners pro- posed that the subject of the boundary be laid aside and that the remaining questions of differeace be proceeded with, some of which were so far advanced as to assure the probability of a settlemevt. This being de- cline* fer the British commissioners, an adjournment was taken until the boun- dary should be adjusted by the two gov- ernments. The subject has been receiv- ing the careful attention which its Im- portance demands, with the result that a moduli vivendi for provisional demarca- a tions in the region about the head of Lynn canal has been agreed upon; and it Is hoped that the negotiations now in progress between the two governments will end in an agreenient for the eetab. For the fourth tine in the present de- cade question has arisen with the govern- ment of Italy in regard to the lynching of Italian subjects. The latest of these de- plorable events occurred at Tallulah, La., whereby five unfortunates, of Italian origin, were taken from jail and hanged. Because of defective federal jurisdiction the president recommends legislation giving federal courts power of prosecution in similar cases. The Pacific, Cable. Without repeating the observations of my special message of Feb. 10, 1699, con. cerning the necessity of a cable to Manila, I respectfully invite attention to it. I recommend that in case the congress should not take measures to bring about this result by direct action of the govern- ment, the postmaster general be author- ized to invite competitive bids for the establishment of a cable; the company making the best responsible bid to be awarded the contract; the successful company to give ample bonds to insure the completion of the work within a rea- sonable time. OUR DUTY TOWARD CUBA. Pledges of Congress Should be Faith- fully Executed. My annual message of last year was necessarily devoted in great part to a con- sideration of the Spanish war and of the results it wrought and the conditions it imposed for the future. I am gratified to announce that the treaty of peace has re- stored friendly relations between the two powers. Effect has been given to its most important provisions. The evacuation of Porto Rico having already been accom- plished on the 18th of October, 1898, noth ing remained necessary there but to con- tinue the provisional 'unitary control of the island until the congress should enact a suitable government for the ceded ter- ritory. Of the character and scope of the measures to that end I shall treat in another part of this message. The withdrawal of the authority of Spain from the island of Cuba was ef- fected by the first of January, fio that the full re-establishment of peace found the relinquished territory held by us in trust for the inhabitants, maintaining, under the direction of the executive, such gov- ernment and control ti .rein as should conserve public order, restore the pro- ductive conditions of peace so long dis- turbed by the instability and disorder which prevailed for the greater part of the preceding three decades, and build up that tranquil development of the domestic state whereby alone can be realized the high purpose, as proclaimed in the joint resolution adopted by the congress on the lUth of April, 1898, by which the United States disclaimed any disposition or in- tention to exercise sovereiguty, jurirdic- tion or control over Cuba, except for the pacification thereof, and asserted its de- termination when that was accomplished to leave the government and control of the island to its people. The pledge con- tained in this resolution is of the highest honorable obligation and Must Be sacrediy Kept. This nation has assumed before the world a grave responsibility for the future good government of Cuba. We have ac- cepted a trust the fulfillment of which calls for the sternest integrity of purposes and the exercise of the highest wisdom. On the 7th of August last an order was made for the taking of the census of the island, to De completed on the Joth of No- vember. By the treaty of peace the Span• ish people on the island have until April 11, 190J, to elect whether they will remain citizens of Spain or become citizens of Cuba. Until then it cannot be definitely ascertained who shall be entitled to Rar- ticipate in the formation of the govern- ment of Cuba. By that time the results of the census will have been tabulated and we shall proceed to provide for elections which will commit the municipal govern- ments of the island to the officers elected by the people. The experience thus ac- quired will prove of great value in the formation of a representative eonventien of the people to draft a constitution and establish a general system of independent government for the island. Partition of Samos. The recent troubles in Samoa are re- viewed by the president, and the exchange of views leading up to the partition of the islands reviewed. Concluding the presi- deonturviews we commended themselves to the 'other powers. A satisfactory ar- rangement was concluded between the governments of Germany and of England by virtue of which England reticed from Samoa in view of ctimpensations in other directions, and both powers renounced in favor of the United States all their rights and claims over and in respect to that portion of the group lying to the east of the 171st degree of west longitude, em- bracing the islands of Tutuila, Ofoo, Olesenga and Mauna. I transmit to the Senate for its constitutional action there- on a convention which, besides the pro- visions above mentioned, also guarantees us the same privileges and conditions In respect to commerce and commercial vessels in all of the islands of Samoa as those possessed by Germany. DOMESTIC AFFAIRS. Medals for Volunteers, Postal Servioe, the Gallant Navy, Pensions. The president details the reorganization of the army and recommends that con, grass provide a special medal of honor for the volunteers, regulars, sailors and marines on duty in the Philippines who voluntarily remained in the service after their terms of enlistment had expired. The force now in Manila consists of 905 ilk and 30.478 regulars and 604 officers nd 15,888 of the 8 alunteers, making an geegate of 1,499 officers and 45,966 men. Y'hen the troops now under orders shall reach Manila, the force in the archipelago will comprise 9,051 officers and 68,482 men. The ouerations of the anny um fully presented in the report of the secretary of war. I cannot withhold from officers and men the highest commendation for their soldiery conduct in trying situations, their willing sacrifices for their country and the integrity and ability with which they have performed unusual and difficult du- ties in our island possessions. Domestic Postal Service. The domestic postal service continues to grow with extraordinary rapidity. The expenditures and revenues will each ex- ceed $100,000,000 during the current year. Fortunatgly since the revival of prosper- ous times the revenues have grown .auch faster than the expenditure, and there is every indication that a short period will witness the obliteration of the annual de - licit. In this connection the report of the postmaster genetal embodies a state- ment of some evils which have grown up outside of the contemplation of law in the treatmeni of s ;me classes of mail matter which Wrongfully exercise the privilege of the pound rate and shows that if this mattesbad best' properly classified and had paid the rate which it should have paid, instead of a postal de- ficit for the last fiscal year of 86,610,e0J there would have been on one basis a sur- plus of $17,637,57J, aud on another t5,713,- 83ti The reform thus suggested, in the opinion of the postmaster general, would not only put the postal service at once on a self-sustaining ba,sis, but would permit great and valuable improvements, and I recommend the subject to the consider- ation of congress. The Gallant Navy. The navy has maintained the spirit and high service of efficiency which have al- ways characterized that service and has lost none of the gallantry in heroic action which has signalized its brilliant and glorious past. The pillion has equal pride in its early and tater achievements. Its habitual readiness for every emergency has won the confidence and admiration of the country. The people are interested in the preparation and prestige of the navy and will justify liberal appropriations for its maintenanoe and improvement. The officers have shown peculiar adaptation for the performance of new and delicate duties which our recent war has imposed. It cannot be doubted that congress will at once make necesisary provision for th'e armour plate for the vessels now under contract and building. I heartily concur in the recommendatien for the increase of the =navy as suggested by the secretary of the navy. Pensions et weiewe. Reviewing the report of the pension commissioner, the prssident recommends, following the requests of the Grand Army of the Republic, tiled congress shall so amend the widows' gension act to permit the pension office tie grant pensionable status to widows tinier the terms of the third section of the Act of June 27. 1890, whose income aside from the proceeds of daily labor is not 48 excess of $250 per annum. I believe t to be a simple act of justice and heartify recommend it THE PHILIPPINE, ISLANDS. - President Reviews Their Acquisition and Subsequent D. Mx n t On the 10th of Deccember, 1898, the treaty of peace between the United States and Spain was signed. Itprovided among other things, that Spain should cede to the United States the archipelago known as the Philippine 'Months that the United States should pay to Spain the sum of $20,000,000, and that the civil rights and population of the native inhabitants of the territorres thus ceded to the United States should be determined by the con- gress. The treaty was ratified by the sen- ate on the 6th of February, 1899, and by the government of Spain on the 19th of March following. The ratifications were exchanged on the llth of April and the treaty publicly proclainied. On the 28 of March, the congress voted the sum con- templated by the treaty, and the amount was paid over to the Spanish government on the lst of May. Not Invaders or Conquerors. On the 21st of December after the treaty was signed the commander of the forces of occupation was instructed "to an- nounce and proclaim in the most public manner that we come not as invaders and conquerors but as friends to proteot the natives in their homes, in their employ- ments and in their personal and religious rights." On the same day while order- ing Gen. Otis to see that the peace should be preserved in Iloio he was admonished that: "It is most important that there shouia pe 55 cunfircs witn tne insur- gents." On the 1st day of Jaduary, 1899, urgent orders were reiterated that the kindly instructions el this government should in every possible way be com- municated to the insurgonts. On the 21st of January I announced my intention of dispatching to Manlike com- mission composed of three gentlemen of the highest character and distinction, thoroughly acquainted with the Orient, who, in association with Admiral Dewey and Major General Otis, were instructed to "facilitate the most humane and effec- tive extension of authority throughout the islands and to secure with the least possible delay, the benefits of a wise and generous protection of life and property to the inhabitants." Ambition Created a Situation. The character of the gentlemen compos - lug this commission was sufficient guar- anty of the beneficent purpose for which they were sent, even if they had not borne the positive instructions of this govern- ment which made their errand pre- eminently one of peace and friendship. But before their arrival at Manila the Bluster ambition of a few leaders of the Philipinos had oreated a situation full of embarrassments for us and most /grievous in its consequences to themselves. The elear and impartial preliminary report of the commissioners. which I transmit herewith, gives so lucid and comprehen- sive a history of the present insurrection- ary movement that the story need not be here repeated. It is enoggh to say that the claim of the rebel leader that he was promised independence by any officer of the United States in return for his as- sistance, has no foundation in fact, and is categorically denied by the very wit- nesses who were called to prove it. The most the insurgent leader hoped for when he came back to Manila was the liber- ation of the islands from the Spanish control, which they had been laboring for years without success to throw off. The prompt accomplishment of this work by the American army and navy gave him other ideas end ambitions and insidious suggestions from various quar- ters perverted the purposes and intentions with whioh he had taken up arms. No sooner hat' der army captured Manila than go Filipino forces beaau 50 BMW an atutune oi linspicion ana hostility which the utmost efforts of our officers and troops were unable to disarm or modify. Their kindness and forbearance were taken as a proof of cowardice. The aggressions of the Filipinos continually increased unt,i finally just before the time set by the senate of the United States for a vote upon the treaty an attack evidently prepared in advance, was made all along the American lines, which resulted in a temporary destructive and sanguinary re pulse of the Insurgents. An Infamous Proclamation. Ten days later an order of the insur- gent government was issued to its adher- ents who had remained in Manila, of which General Otis justly observes that for barbarous intent it is unequalled in modern times." It directs that at 8 o'clock on the night of the 15th of Feb- ruary the territorial militia "shall come together in the streets of San Pedro armed with their bolos, with guns and ammu- nition, where convenient, that Filipino families alone shall be respected; but that all other individuals, of whatever race they may be, shall be exterminated with- out any compassion, after the extermina- tion of the army of occupation," and adds: "Brothers, we must avenge ourselves on the Americans and exterminate them, that we may take our revenge for the in- famies and treacheries which they have committed upon us. Have no compassion upon them; attack with vigor." A copy of this fell, by good* fortune, into the hands of our officers, and they were able to take measures to control the rising which was actually attempted on the night of Feb. 22, a week later than was originally contemplated. Consider- able number of armed insurgents entered the city by waterways and swamps, and In concert with confederates inside Attempted to Destroy Manila hy Fire. They were kept in check during the night and the next day driven out of the city with heavy loss. This was the unhappy condition of affairs which confronted our commission- ers on their arrival in Manila. They had come with the hope and intention of co- operating with Admiral Dewey and Major General Otis in establishing peace and order in the archipelago and the largest measure of self government compatible with the true welfare of the people. What they actually found can best be set forth in their own words: "Deplor- able as war is, the one in which we are now engaged was unavoidable by us. We were attacked by a bold, adventure- ous and enthusiastic army. No alterna- tive was left to us, except ignominous retreat. "It is not to be conceived of that any American would have sanctioned the sur- render of Manila to the insurgents. Our obligations to other nations and to the friendly Filipinos and to ourselves and to our flag demanded that force should be met by force. Whatever the future of the Philipines may be there is no course open to us now except the prose- cution of the war until the insurgents are reduced to submission. The commission is of the opinion that there has been no time since the destruction of the Spanish squadron by Admiral Dewey when it was possible to withdraw our forces from the islands either with honor to ourselves or with safety to the inhabitants." Rebellion Must Be rut Down. The course thus clearly indicated has been unflinchingly pursued. The rebellion must be put down. Civil government cannot be thoroughly esteblished until order is restored. With a devotion and gallantry worthy of its most brilliant his- tory the army, ably and loyally assisted by the navy, has carried on this unwel- come but most righteous c,ampaign,which richly deserve success. The noble -self- sacrifice with which our soldiers and sailors whose term of service had expired refused to avail themselvea of their right to return home so long as they were needed at the front, forms one of the brightest pages in our annals. Although their operations have been somewhat in- terrupted and checked by a rainy season of unusual violence and duration, they have gained ground steadily in every direction and now look forward confi- dently to a speedy completion of their task. Government for Negros. The unfavorable circumstances con- nected with an active campaign have not been permitted to interfere with the equally important work of construction. Again I invite your attention of the report of the oommissioners, interesting and en- couraging details of the work already ac- complished in the establishment of peace and order and the inauguration of self- governing municipal life in many por- tions of the archipelago. A notable be- ginning has been made in the establish- ment of a government in the island of Negros, which is deserving of special con- sideretion. This was the lirst island to :sump§ .esmericau 8overetgnt3.. Its people unreservedly proclaimed alle- giance to the United States and adopted a constitution looking to the establishment of a popular government. It was impossi- ble to guarantee to the people of Negros that the constitution so adopted should be the ultimate form of government. Such a question under the treaty with Spain and in aocordance with our own constitution and laws came exclusively within the jurisdiotion of congress. The government actually set up by the inhab- itants of Negros eventually proved un- satisfactory to the natives themselves. A new system was put into force by order of the major general commanding the department, which is partly military and partly civil. Executive °Meer the Military Govarnor. The civil governor advises the military governor on all public civil questions and presides over the advieory council. He, in general, performs the duties which are performed by secretaries of state in our own system of government. The advisory council consists of eight members elected by the peaple within the territorial limits which are defined Orr the order of the commanding general. The authorities of the Sulu islands have accepted the succession ot the United States to the rights of Spain and our flag floats over that territory. On the 10th of August, 1899, Brigadier General J. C. Bates, IJ. a N., negotiated an agreement with the Sulu chief and with his chiefs, which I transmit herewith But by the article A the sovereignty of the United States over the whole archipelago of Jolo and its dependencies le declared and ac- knowledged. Toast Rebellion Near an Red. Everything indicates that with the speedy suppression of the Tagalo rebellion the archipelago will soon resume its or- dinary course under the proteotion of our sovereignty, and the people of thou+ fa- vored .1.&21_diiitilebia_a_ leelLoritY and bea ffroeredcom-w-IiiM thei have 'never known The future government of the Philip- pines rests with the congress of the United States. Few graver responsibilities have ever been confided to us. If we accept them in a spirit worthy of our race and our traditions, a great opportunity comes with them. The islands lie under the shelter of our flag. They are ours by every title of law and equity. They can- not be abandoned. If we desert them we leave them at once to anarchy and finally to barbarism. We fling them, a golden apple of discord, among the rival powers, no one of which could permit another to seize them unquestioned. Their rich plains and valleys would be the scene of endless strlfe and bloodshed. The advent of Dewey's fleet in Manila bay, instead of being, as hoped, the dawn of a new day of freedom and progress will have been to begin an era of misery and violence worse than any which has darkened their un- happy past. The suggestion has been made that we could renounce our author- ity over the Wands and glvlu, thou lu- dependence could retain a protectorate over them. This proposition will not be found, I am sure, worthy of your serious) attention. Such an arrangement would involve at the outset A Cruel Breaeh of Faith. It would place the peaceable and loyal majority, who ask nothing better than to accept our authority, at the mercy of the minority of armed insurgents. It would make us responsible for the acts of the insurgent leaders, and give us no power to oontrol them. It would charge us with the task of protecting them against each other and defending them against any foreign power with which they chose to quarrel. In short, it would take from the oongress of the United States the power of declaring war, and vest that tremendous prerogative in the Tagal leader of the hour. It does not seem desirable that I should recommend at this time a specific and final form of government for these islands. When peace shall be restored it will be the duty of congress to construct a plan of government whioh shall establish and maintain freedom and order and -peace in the Philippines. The insurrection is still existing and when it terminates furthez information will be required as to the actual condition of affairs before inaugte rating a permanent scheme of civil govern- ment. The full report of the commission now in preparation will contain informa- tion and suggestions which will be of value to congress, and which I will trans- mit as soon as it is completed. As long as the insurrection continues the mili- tary arm must necessarily be su- preme. But there is no reason why steps should not be taken from time to time to inaugurate governments essen- tially popular in their forms as fast as they are held or controlled by our troops. To this end I am considering the advisa- bility of the return of the commission or such of the members thereof as can be se- cured, to aid the existing authorities and facilitate this work throughout the isl- ands I have believed that reconstruction should not begin by the establishment of one central civil government for the island with its seat at Mustn't, but rather that the work should be commenced by building from the bottom and municipal governments and then provincial govern- ments, a central government to last fol- low. Until congress shall have made known the formal expression of its will, I shall use the authority vested in me by the constitution and the statutes to up- hold the sovereignty of the United States In those distant islands as in all °the' places where our flag rightfully floats. shall put at the disposal of the army and navy all the means which the liberality of congress and the people have provided to cause this unprovoked and wasteful in- surrection to cease. If any orders of mine were required to insure the merciful con- duct of military and naval operations they would not be lacking; but every step of the progress of the troops has been marked by a humanity which has serpriseekeee the Misguided Insurgents The truest kindness to them will be a swift and effective defeat of their present leader. The hour of victory will be the hour of clemency and reconstruction. No effort will be spared to build up the waste places desolated by war and by long years of misgovernment. We shall not wait for the end -Of strife to begin the beneficent work. We shall continue, as we have begun, to open the schools and the churches, to set the courts in opera- tion, to foster industry and trade and agriculture, and in every way in our power to make these peo- ple whom providence has brought within our jurisdiction feel that it is their liberty and not our power, their welfare and not our gain, We are melting to enhanoi Our flag hal never waVed over any com unity but in blessing. I believe the Phi ibinos will soon reolegnize the fact that it has not lost its gift of benediction in its *orld- wide journey to their shores. HAWAII, ALASKA, PORTO RICO. Semis Legislation is Badly Needed in Flash of These Territories. Some embarrassment in adminfstration has occairred by reason of the peculiar status which the Hawaiian islands at pres- ent occupy under the joint resolution of annexation approved July 7, 1898. While by that reason the republic of Hawaii as an independent nation was extinguished, It. separate sovereignty destroyed and its property and possessions vested in the United States, yet a oomplete establish- ment for its government under our sys- tem was not effected. It is manifestly important, therefore, that an act shall be presented as speedily as possible erecting theft islands into a judicial district, providing for the ap- pointment of a judge and other proper officers and methods of prooedure in ap- pellate proceedings, and that the govern 'smut of this newly acquired territory under the federal oonstitution shall be tally defined and provided for. A necessity for immediate legislative relief also exists in the territory of Alaska. The time is also ripe for the adoption of a temporary form of government for Porto Rico. Presented to ttds congress are greet op- portunities. With them come great re - The powers confided to us increase our weight of obligation to the people and we must be profoundly sensi- tive of them as we contemplate the new and grave problems whit% confront us Aiming only at the public good, we can DOS err. A right interpretation of th( people's will and of duty cannot Mit to insure win measures for the welfare of the islands, which have come_ under the authority a the "United States and inure to the common interest and lasting honor of our country. Never has this nation had more abundant cause than during the past year for thankfulness to God for mauifold bless- ings and mercy, for which we make rev- erent acknowledgement. vszlassA M MIUNLEY. Zxeoutive Mansion. Dec. 5. 1899. Wettest Region on Earth. The distinction of being the wettest locality 012 earth seems to belong to Cherra Pupil, in India. During the first five and a half months of this year, down to the middle of June, Cherra has received the mere baga- telle of 267.84 inches of rain. In fact, within the limits of a single week the aggregate fall was 73.79 inches, while on two successive days the gauge reg- istered 16.45 inches and 18.21 inches. It is not, however, a wet spot all the year round. Like the rest of the In- dian empire, it has its dry and wet seasons, the former under the north- east monsoon or wind from the in- terior of Asia, the latter under- southwest *monsoon or wind from the Indian ocean. Over as long a period as five days rain falls at Cherra at a rate of an inch or more. per hour. For a shorter period the rates are much greater, 14 inches in 7 hours, 17 inches in 6 hours, 85 inches in 18 hours, and so on. but the 40.8 inches on June 14, 1896, appears to have been the largest amount on any one day at Cherra. Notwithstanding such huge rainfalls, the spot is considered a fairly healthy one, for almost as rapidly as it falls the water flows away down the gorges. Popularity of Franklin. Beujamin Franklin has received one sort of monumental tribute to a de- gree second only to that of Washing- ton. More towns and postoffices have been named after him than after any other man, even Washington himself, although tbe bestowal a the name Washington on the capital of the coun- try transcends, of course, any of similar honors accorded to Franklin. Thirty-six places in the United States, in as ninny states and territories, bear the name of Franklin simply, and 84 others bear names into which the word enters in combination, such as Frank- linton, Frateklinvitle, Franklin Falls, and so on. As against this there are 27 Jacksons iu the country, 30 Wash- ingtons and 25 Jeffersons. Thirty-one counties bear the name of Washington, 2-1 the name of Franklin, 23 the name of Jefferson and 22 the name of Jackson. The naming of the first town for Franklin was regarded by him as a great honor,. This was in 1778, during the Revolutionary war. The town of . Wrentham, Mass., was divided, one part of it taking the name of the cele- brated diplomatist and philosopher. In recognition of the honor, Franklin pre: Bente(' the new town with a bell for its church.-Youthi's Companion. The Manila Pig. One of the curious sights to an Amer- ican visiting the Chinese and native quarters is the ever present pig; but. as pigs are not 'allowed at large, the" have an ingenious method of tying th2 pigs by the ears. They cut a small hole through the pig's ear, one-half to an inch in diameter. Through this hole they insert a rope, with a large knot en one end. This rope securely confines the pig's liberties about the premises. The same sights are seen often on the native boats and even on the swell steam launches plying ou Manila bay. Transporting pigs through the streets of Manila always attracts a crowd, although the sight is com- mon. The legs of the pig are tied to- gether securely, and the pig is then suspended on a long pole resting on the shoulders of two native carriers. The pig, with his legs up and head down, makes about as much noise 'while in transit as the pig under a gate in Missouri and never fails to hold the crowd. -Manila Freedom. Chine.. Parental Authority. A remarkable event occurred at Tsing-Klang-Pu. A man by the name of King had a son who made his fa- ther and mother "lose face" because of the wild, rakish life he led. He gambled, loafed, smoked opium, etc. If he stole, his father would be taken to the yet:nen, and the whole family would suffer for the son's villainy, and the vital question waS, How bould the family be protected? At last they ari rived at the conclusion that the only way to protect the father and mother was to take extreme measures with the son, which they did with a venge- ance. The father and uncle took him out among the graves, followed by a crowd of curious neighbors and friends, and, putting a rope around his neck, each relation pulled on an end, and the son was put beyond ruin- ing the family in this world. -North China Herald.

Mary, the bjloved wife of William Senescall, died at her home in this village last Sunday morning. She had been ill about a year with heart trouble, and during that time suffered several severe attacks of pneumonia. The last of these occurred about a week ago, and, although there were strong hopes of recovery, she could not withstand the ravages of the dis- ease, and just as the church bells were chiming the golden cord was severed and she passed into that realm from whence no traveler ever returns. Mrs. Senescall's maiden name was Mary Mayo, and she was born near Ann Arbor, Mich., on the 2tith day of May, 1833. She was married to William Senescall on the 21st day of January, 1851, at Leona, Mich., and to them were born eight children, six of whom are Living, two preceding their mother to the grave. Those living are William, of Hutch- inson, Robert, of Bird Island, Fred and Frank, of Stewart, and James O. and Mrs. G. P. Mayo, of this place. All the children living were at her bedside at the time of her death, doing everything possible to cheer her last moments on earth. Mr. and Mrs. Senescall came to Minnesota in 1853, settling at Pine Bend, i n Dakota County, where they lived un- til 1880, when they moved to Stewart. Here they lived until 1891, when they came to Glencoe to make their home, and ever since that time they have been honored citizens of this place. The funeral took place Tuesday, the Rev. J. W. Todd offici- ating. The Rebekahs, of which Mrs. Senescall was an enthusiastic mem- ber, attended the funeral in a body, as did also the Odd Fellows and the G. A. R., the latter two bodies attend- ing as a mark of respect to their be- reaved comrade. Mrs. Senescall was a good and kind mother to her chil- dren, a dutiful wife to her husband, and a kind and obliging friend to all who knew her, and many is the heart that will mourn her death, even though she has lived more years than is usually allotted the average human being. Her death causes a vacancy that cannot be filled, and the whole community sympathizes with the be- reaved husband and children in their affliction. Those abroad who attend- ed ttended the funeral were her brother, G. G. Mayo, of Minneapolis, Joseph Tolor and wife, of Farmington, and Mrs. William Jackson, of Minneapolis. - Glencoe Register, 1st.

Minn. THEY TELL STORIES OF GREAT interest to Minnesotians. More of what Dr. Itea 1s Doing lnth. State. The Skeptic Left to Wonder, for his fine - coos still Continues. That Dr. Rea is restoring the health and curing thousands of the afflicted there is no doubt as hundreds of reliable home people will attest. Few physicians in the country have had better educational advantages than he and few have more thoroughly improved them. He has al- ways been an ardent student as well as an original investigator, having practiced his profession in some of the principal hospitals throughout the United States and Europe, and it is not surprising that lie has become a great specialist. Soon after commencing his practice in Louis- ville, Ky.. some twelve years ago,Dr. Rea was lead to believe that the important treatment of treating both acute and ehronic diseases was one that was demand- ing unssual atteutioz and the skill of a physician who would devote his whole study and time to that specialty. Iss- pressed with that idea he began a series of original inyestigations which have re- sulted in many important discoveries and brought hist an immense practice in chronic diseases. His success in the line of special practice has certainly been re- markable and in the treatment of many chronic diseases unequalled. Dr. Rea announced to the public in Minnesota something over a year ago that he would make a series of northwestern visits. stopping in the principal cities in the state. Since that time he has visited ! almost every city of importance and in the ' meantime has established a permanent office in Minneapolis where he has placed some of the best physicians in his staff at I its head. To prose his original assertions he went to work and is now treating' thousands of people in the state. Many are among the wealthiest and most prom • - inent citizens. Almost everyone speaks of the immediate relief that generally at- tends his system of treatment. Below we will publish a few of the names of some of the many that he has cured. Henry Nyhouse, Duluth, Minn., cured of chronic catarrh of the stomach, bad blood and general indisposition. Had doctored of a good many doctors and had taken all kinds of treatment but no relief. Mrs. H. P. Jacobson, Langdon, Mina.; cured of chronic dyspepsia and liver troubles. Cared after all other doctors bad failed. John Consbruck, Hastings,Minn.,cured' of cancer of the face in two treatments. 1 F. J. Swoboda, Hopkins, Minn., oared of chronic bladder and kidney troubles.

Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. D. "Was taken with a bad cold which settled on my lungs; cough set in and finally terminat- ed in consumption. Four •doctors gave me up, saying I could live but a short time. ,I gave myself up to my Savior, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to get Dr. King's New Discovery for con- sumption, coughs and colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight bottles. It has cured me, and thank God, I am saved and now a well and healthy woman." Trial bottles free at S. B. Rude's drug store. _Regular size 50c. and $1.00. Guar- anteed or price refunded.

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be in- curable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies and by constantly failing ling to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science hag proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J.

She turned it over once or twice, gazed earnestly at the address, and said: "I wonder who it can be from?" She looked at the stamp. "I can't make out the postmark," Mrs. :yI1tlQtrrtb void. carefully studying that guide to the authorship or letters. "It isn't Perrysville. It looks something like Tonawanda, but I don't know anybody in Tonawanda. I wonder if it isn't in- tended for York? Cousin Ann Jackson used to visit in York. Why don't they make the postmark plainer, I wonder? I believe it's Indianapolis, after all! Then it's from Eleanor McPherson, whose husband you met last summer In Canada. It isn't Indianapolis; it's Lacon. That's where Lilias Marshall lives. That isn't an L, either. No; it's New Philadelphia, Ills. I can slake it out now. Don't you remember? Uncle Abner Beasts went out there in the grindstone business. I wonder if any- thing has—oh, pshaw, it's—what is it? It's R: R -o -m --oh. now I see—R-o-m-e, Rome. Why, it must be from—oh, dear me, it isn't Rome, either. I can't make it out at all." And she turned it over and looked mournfully at the receiving stamp on the back. "It was received here at 7 o'clock this morning," she said finally. "Now, where would a letter have to come from to get here at 7 o'clock? If you knew that, we could tell where it canis from." "Let me look at it," sa.l.l Mr. Middle - rib, who was beginning to fidget with impatience. "No," replied the wife, turning back to the postmark once more. "I can see what it is now. It's Spartansburg, Ky. Sarah Blanchard went there after she married. I expect the wants to— It isn't Spartansburg, either; it's Gridley. That's where Cousin Janie Buskirk lives. Her husband went out there and bought a grist mill. I wonder if she's coming on this summer? I hope, if she does, she won't bring the children. But it isn't from her, either. I think that it is Mount Pleasant—oh!! it's from Aunt Harriet Murdoch, and I know they've all been killed in that dreadful cyclone. I can't open the letter, my hand tt•eut- bles so. I)o you know the last thing I said to her when she moved out west? I said— It isn't Mount Pleasant, ei- ther. There are only five letters in it. I can't make anything out of it." "Perhaps," said Mr. Middlerib, with a slight tinge of sarcasm in his inflec- tion—"perhaps we'd better send after the carrier who brought it. He may - know." "But it is so tantalizing," complained Mrs. Middlerib, "to receive a letter and then not be able to tell who or where it is from." "Did you ever try opening a letter to ascertain these facts?" asked her bus - band. The lady looked at him with an ex- pression of speechless s disdain upon her features and half whispered, "If that isn't like a man," as though any wom- an ever looked into a letter until she had guessed all round her circle of relatives and friends and clear through the United States postal guide to decide whence and from whom it came. This particular postmark, however, was too "blind" for the most ingenious expert to decipher, and at last, with a deep sigh and a little gesture of despair, Mrs. Middlerib yielded to the inevita- ble and resignedly opened the letter, pausing once or twice in the act, how- ever, to look longingly back at the tan- talizing postmark. "At last," groaned her husband, who by this time was burning up with curi- osity. But she laid the envelope down and looked at it a little while before she turned to the unfolded letter in her hand. u..- ....nand by a desperate effort controlled his rising wrath, and in a voko hoarse and strained besought her to read the letter, as it was late, and he should have been down town half an hour ago. She did not answer. She opened the letter, turned the first page to look for the end of it, went back to the first page, settled herself in an easy posi- tion and said: "Well, I will declare!" Then she read on in silence and Mr. Middlerib ground his teeth. Presently she said: "Wm!" She read three or four more lines with eager eyes and noiseless lips, and Suddenly exclaimed: "I don't believe it!" Then she resumed her voiceless pe- rusal of the document and a moment later astonished her husband by look- ing up at him and asking: I wonder if that is so?" Mr. Middlerib replied in mocking tones that "it must be so or the post- mark wouldn't have- said it;" but her eyes were glued to the page once more and she made no response. "Ohl" she fairly shrieked. "Did you ever?" The writhing man at the other end of the table said he never had, but he would if this intellectual entertainment lasted much longer. "It's too bad," murmured Mrs. Mid- dlerib, turning a page of the letter without raising her eyes_ "Well, what's too bad?" he broke out wrathfully. "Who is the letter from, and what is it all about? Either read aloud or make your comments as men- tally as you read." "I've half a mind to go," she said, in firm, decided tones. "Oh, have you?" he Interjected with mild sarcasm. "Shall I go and pack your trunks While you finish that let- ter?" "I don't see how they can do it," she said, after an interval of silence. "Why don't you look at the postmark. then?" he growled. "Maybe that would tell you." She read on, silent and unimpressed, for two or three lines further, and then with an exclamation of astonish- ment said: "How very low!" "Ah, well," her husband snarled. "I'm glad to learn something about that letter at last. It's about your un- cle Marcus' family, isn't it?" She did not hear or heed. She glued her eyes to that precious letter and went on ejaculating at irregular inter- vals: "H' m 1" "Oh. that must be lovely!" "It can't be the same!" "I never heard of such a thing!" "Oh, my goodness!" Finally she concluded the persusal of the important document, sighed and with profound and exasperating delib- eration folded it carefully and replac- ed it in the envelope. Mr. Middlerib looked at her in blank amazement. "Well, by George," he said, "you are a cool one! Here I've waited full 15 minutes to learn what that blessed let- ter is about, and all I know about it is that you couldn't make out the post- mark. By George, woman"— "Why, whatever is the matter with you?" she exclaimed, with unfeigned surprise. "Here It is if you want to see it. I didn't suppose you cared to hear it." "Didn't want to hear it!" he shouted. "What do you suppose I waited here and missed my train for if I didn't want to hear that blessed letter?" "Why, It isn't a letter at all," she said in the tone of a superior being commiserating measureless and Inex- cusable ignorance. "It's a circular from Wachenheitner's about their mil- linery opening next Thursday"— The bang of the street door cut off the rest of the sentence, and Mrs. Mid- dlerib became aware that she was alone and that her husband was the angriest than in the state. "And what had occurred to vex hint," she said to her neighbor, who dropped in during the morning, "I can't for the life of me imagine. Everything about the house had gone on smoothly, and I can't recall a single irritating in- cident or circumstance. Men are strange animals," she sighed, "and there is no accounting for their vaga- ries and peculiarities."—London Even- ing News. Pleaaant Mail Delivery. The postmaster was hard at work at his desk when a slight noise caused him to raise his eyes, and he discover- ed a blushing maiden of 16 with a money order which she wanted cashed. She handed it with a bashful smile to the official, who, after closely examin- ing it, gave her the money it called for. At the salve time he asked her if she had read what was written on the margin of the order. "No, I have not," she rerlied, "for I cannot make it out. Will you please read it for me?" The postmaster read as follows: "I send you $5 and a dozen kisses." Glancing at the bashful girl, he said, "Now I have paid you the money, 1 suppose you want the kisses?" "Yes," she said. "If he has sent me any kisses, I want them too." It is hardly necessary to say to those who are acquainted with Uncle Sam's official that the balance of the order was paid in a scientific manner. On reaching homy the delighted maiden remarked to her mother: "Mother, thisost ffi ylir o ce system of ours P is a great thing, developinggmore and more every year, and each new fea- ture seems best. t.

Why He Wanted Small Change, It was Saturday, and he was on his way home. Stepping to the showcase in the ci- gar store, he carefully surveyed the goods that were displayed in the boxes. "Are those three for a quarter?" he asked, pointing out a brand that seem- ed to please him. "Yes," said the man behind the coun- ter. "We're making a special sale of them this week.

Feet Diasno•l., A doctor has announced his belief that in diagnosing a patient's cane it is as essential to observe his walk as to feel his pulse. It appears that a p4. son in vigorous and robust health talks with his toes pointed to the front and that as health begins to go the toes turn gradually out and a per- ceptible bend appears in the knees. It will certainly come as a surprise to a good many people, drill instructors es- pecially, to learn that it is correct, in the best sense of that loosely used word, to walk with the toes pointed straight to the front.—London Globe. It a man is known by the company be keeps, what shall be said of the mer age sheriff ?--St. Paul Gioba SUGAR POR CHILDREN. It I■ Now Believed to Be Necessary For Their Health. The amount of sugar to be given to children, and in what form, is a ques- tion of much importance, writes Mary Hinman Abel In the United States de- partment of agriculture bulletin. Sugar would seem to be a food especially adapted to children because of their great activity. The small organism loses more heat from -the skin for every pound of body weight than does the larger animal, and children on this ac- count and because of their active life require proportionately more beat units in their food than do adults. Until a child's stomach Is capable of digesting starch the needed carbohy- drate is furnished in the sugar of milk, the child a year old who drinks two quarts of milk a day taking in this way about three ounces of sugar. As the stomach becomes able to digest starch the child is less and less dependent on the sugar of milk, replacing it with the carbohydrates of vegetable origin, while the proteids and fat found in eggs, meat and cereals take the place of those constituents that were at first ex- clusively furnished in milk. Milk, how- ever, remains through childhood a val- uable source of all these food princi• pies. The fact that sugar has a high food value is not the only point to be consid- ered. The child will easily obtain the needed carbohydrates in other forms and will thrive if the digestion remains sound and its relish of wholesome food unimpaired. For instance, one often hears it said that a certain child does not relish milk. In such cases it might be found that the child's appetite, be- ing sated by sugar in other foods, is no longer attracted by the mild sweetness of fresh milk, delicious as it is to the unspoiled palate. It would be well, perhaps, in this instance, to cut down the allowance of sugar in the hope of restoring the taste for so invaluable a food as milk. Dr. Rotch insists that the infant, even in its second year, should never be allowed to taste sweets. He says, "When these articles are with- held, it will continue to have a healthy appetite and taste for necessary and proper articles of food." Even much later, for the same reason, the intro- duction of large amounts of sugar into the dally food of children is to be care- fully considered. Children do not re- quire a variety of flavors to stimulate the appetite, but the taste is easily per- verted, and the backward step is diffi- cult to take. New Bicycle Bell. The latest means of disposing of the bell on the bicycle is placing it on the pedal. Tilts is provided for by the pat- ent recently granted, whose object is to not only provide a bell which may be rung by mechanical means and therefore much louder than bells of the BICYCLE PEDAL BELL. usual type, but one which can be oper- ated without the use of the hands, which are usually otherwise employed. This bell is movably fastened to the bottom of the pedal and is operated by the movement of a lever which throws the bell into action successively against four striking arms which are held between the crank hanger and the nut which secures the pedal in its place. As the cranks revolve the bell is rung continuously as long as desir- ed. Releasing the lever from under the foot silences s ences the bell. Use For the Cobweb. of .

Advertising is indeed one of the great developments of the age. It has revo- lutionized business aqd made it possi- ble to accomplish in at few years what otherwise would have taken genera- tions to compass. Today the advertis- er, through the medium of the public press, can Introduce his article to the entre public almost literally at a bound. Such a servant at the seller's elbow has naturally made business vastly different from what it was sev- eral hundred years ago. It is no longer necessary, as it was in previous generations, to confine one's commercial transactions to a lim- ited area. In fact, the manufacturer of today regards the world as his Held, and there are quite a number of pro- prietary articles, widely and favorably known in every quarter of the civilized world, which have been introduced dur- ing the lifetime of their present pro- prietors, who are men only In the prime of life. Without advertising, by which it is possible to reach and influence hun- dreds of thousands of persons simulta- neously, such a result could not be ac- complished in several generations, if indeed it could be accomplished at alL Nor bas this advertising benefited the seller only. It has brought to the knowledge of the buyer the hundreds of improvements and articles by which life can be made more pleasant, by which the health can be preserved, the palate gratified, the intellect fed and satisfied. It is no exaggeration to say that no force has conduced more to knit the world closely together nor made our mutual interdependence moreapparent. "It is but the simple truth to assert," says a recent writer, "that the loss of the information which the advertise- ments furnish would be one of the greatest imaginable misfortunes to civ- ilization."—Self Culture. A Good Shot. A local sportsman, who has the repu- tation of being a very bad shot, recent- ly invited some of his friends to dine with him. Before dinner be showed them a target painted on the barn door, with a bullet in the bullseye. This he claimed to have shot at 1,000 yards' distance. As nobody believed him, he offered to bet the price of an oyster supper on it. On one of his guests accepting the wager, he produced two witnesses, whose veracity could not be ques- tioned, to prove his assertion. As they both said that he had done what be claimed he won the bet. At dinner the loser of the wager asked bow his host had managed to fire such an ex- cellent shot. The host answered, "1 shot the bullet at the door at a distance of 1,000 yards and then I painted the target around it."—Cincinnati En- quirer. Ground Floor Bedrooms. There is danger in the porous charac- ter of plaster ceilings, which are often very thin indeed. The ordinary ceiling is "only a porous diaphragm permeable by gases with considerable freedom." The vitiated air of sitting rooms therefore frequently finds its way through into bedrooms. The Brit- ish Medical Journal asks any skeptic to "compare his bodily and mental sen- sations after sleeping in such a room and in one situated over a similar room well ventilated and not occupied or illuminated by gas during the even- ing." The remedy, it says, is to have bedrooms on the ground floor and liv- ing, working and cooking rooms up stairs. But how about noise?—London Chronicle. Caught the General. O se of the regular army officers tells a stbry of bow the old stringent army regulations once went against General Scott. One wet afternoon that soldier was caught in the rain in Washington. He was in full uniform and was well known, so, no cab being near, he bor- rowed an umbrella. Arriving at his hotel, an under officer approached him and calmly remarked: "General, you will consider yourself ander arrest for eight days for carry- ing an umbrella while in full uni- form." A Scheme That Pays. A Cincinnati milkman invites his customers to have the milk which he serves analyzed twice a year at his expense. The tests may be made at any time, without warning to the dairyman, his object, of course, being to prove that his milk Is of standard purity all the year round. He does a large business and finds himself well repaid for his outlay for the analysis. ' Water charged with carbonic acid gas, in other words, soda water, is now prescribed 'as a palliative for hunger, especially for the abnormal sense of hunger due to disease. SUGAR FOOD. Prof Pfuhl 9t Germany Makes Interesting Azperiments. Germany has j completed elabo- rate experiments sugar as food far troops. The objet 'as to test a sugar diet in cases whore great exertions were made withina brief period. Ac- cording to reports, the experiments with the various army corps resulted favorably. Professor Pfuhl,; head of the physio- logical laboratory ,of the army, states that It proved that a sugar diet in- creases the muscular power in a com- paratively short time, considerably shorter than the white of an egg, the effect of which, however, is more last- ing, though sugar has\be advantage of being much cheaper. The extraordi- nary rapidity with which sugar is ab- sorbed by the body explains its rapid effect on the nervous system, which 1s of the greatest importance in cases where bodily recuperation is desired, as in long distance marching. Professor Pfuhl, in experimenting upon himself, found that after long walks three or four lumps of sugar re- moved all feelings of lassitude and to a certain extent restored the elasticity of his muscles, this effect being fre- quently produced in a quarter of an hour. He is of the opinion that artifi- cial substitutes for sugar will not have the same effect. Professors Senator and Mulk of the Berlin university have come to the conclusion that sugar has a high nutritive value as the purest and most -easily soluble hydrate of car- bon. A certain minimum of albumen, differing according to individual cases, must be supplied in any circumstances and cannot be replaced by sugar, but sugar as a food for people is very valu- able both on account of the cheapness and ease with which it is manufactur- ed. Forest Trees From Seed. The propagation of forest trees ei- ther for decorative plants, windbreaks or forests is a comparatively slow process, according to bulletin 38 of the Virginia experiment station. The hor- ticulturists of that station have been making extended tests along these lines and find that the seeds of such trees as the silver maple and other species which ripen seed early should be gathered and sown at once. They can be planted in the same manner and grow as rapidly as peas. Seeds which ripen late in the fall should be sown in autumn and then taken up and planted in spring. Nuts like wal- nuts can be planted aeverei bushels in a heap and then taken, up and planted in rows in spring with perfect suc- cess. It is usually practical to plant nut seeds where the trees are to stand if nothing interferes with their growth thereafter. On rich soil they grow with great rapidity. All forest tree seedlings should be grown on a mellow soil, so as to en- courage the development of strong root systtihts. They should be transplant- ed into nursery rows at the end of the first or second year. Slow grow- ing plants like oaks should remain two years in seeding beds, while the more rapid , growing varieties should be planted when only a year old. Most forest trees do best when set out from five to eight feet tall. The tulip pop- lar tree does very well if not permit- ted to stand in the nursery too long. At the end of the first year it should be transplanted to its permanent lo- cation. The following list of trees are grown with comparative ease from seed: Black walnut, bur oak, hack - berry, honey locust, box elder, green ash and pecan. Not Culture. The culture of the pistache nut is likely to prove of very considerable value in California, Arizona and New Mexico. With the exception of the home consumed product of a few iso- lated trees the entire quantity now used in this country is imported, and Its use Is limited almost exclusively to ice cream and confection flavoring, says The Scientific American. Along the Mediterranean, where the choicest walnuts and almonds are raised, the pistache is consifdered the very best of all nuts for table use. It is very nutritious and fattening and of a de- licious flavor of its own and should soon come to be a leading article of its kind in our markets.

In the current number of The Nine- teenth Century Mr. Baillie-Grohman says British rifle shooting suffers by the Britons' preference for long range shooting. He points to the defeat of the English team at the recent inter- national rifle match in Holland. Out of eight competing teams Britain was fourth in the prone position, fourth in the kneeling position and a bad eighth in shoulder shooting, thus receiving the seventh place in the aggregate. This is due, he thinks, to the British neglect of shoulder shooting and shooting at short ranges. He contends that the British long distance shooting borders perilously near upon "fancy work." He advocates the formation of rifle clubs on the analogy of local football and cricket clubs. Misfortune of a Poet. "James has been quite unfortunate of late," said the poet's wife gloomily.

Ne..N►. i Cure For Seasickness 1 Beg Said to Protect the Sensi- tive Nerve Center. Carlo Callianoi_doetor and surgeon, subject of the king of Italy, claims that, after long study and numerous experiments, he has discovered that seasickness is a reflex phenomenon due to the acute stimulation of one of the nervous centers, located deeply under the epigastric region. Properly di- rected pressure upon this nervous cen- ter, he asserts, "will prevent or cure seasickness." To this end he has pat- terned a belt of elastic fabric, provid- ed with an inflated cushion of trian- gular shape, the internal side of which conforms to the shape of the anatomic organization of the gastric region. When this belt is worn, it presses the cushion against the body, "arresting independent movement of the organs and exerting a gradual pressure upon the celiac plexus," the nervous center BELT FOR SEASICKNESS. affected. The triangular cushion must have its apex upward, directed toward the sternum, and the sides when in place are parallel to the two lowest ribs. Angles at the base of the triangle are 40 degrees each. Both the shape and arrangement of the cushions are important features, because a differ- ently shaped cushion could not have the same effect in compressing the proper nerve centers. A screw arrange- ment is provided in connection with this cushion, so that the pressure may be varied. According to the inventor, such a belt may be worn continually without inconvenience or injury in any kind of weather irrespective of whether the want be felt or not, it being efficient both as a preventive of seasickness and as a preventive of the analogous feel- ing occurring in swings, on rocking horses or -railroad cars and even for preventing vomiting due to purely nervous conditions. Mussels After Crabs. Mussels have always been recognized as the enemy of oysters, but the crab has been supposed to be altogether too lively for almost motionless bivalves. It now appears that the scarcity of crabs may be largely due to the great number of mussels in the bay. A sea crab was found recently with a string at least six inches long of young mus- sels attached to him. The crab was still alive and tried desperately to get away, but was firmly anchored by the mussels. They were about the size of a pea, and it was estimated that there were several hundred of them in the bunch. Bay men are inclined to attrib- ute the scarcity of crabs to anchor ice which settles on the bottom of the channels over the crabs during the time when they are hibernating in the mud and smothers them,'but the dis- covery of the mussels on a crab raises the question as to whether the mussels are not helping to exterminate the lively crustacean.—Forest and Stream. Protection of Natural Water Sup- plies. A circular has been addressed by the secretary of the County Councils asso- ciation to the district authorities in England and Wales calling attention to the faulty state of the law as affecting sources of water which are or may be- come necessary for local consumption. It is pointed out that if certain urban districts are supplied by a local water company another water company can purchase land outside its own area, but within the limits of the urban districts, sink a well thereon and arrange with a railway company to carry the main along the railway line into its own dis- tributing area, thus depriving the ur- ban district of the water supply which is necessary for the use of the inhab- itants and for their health. Why People tie to Spas. In an article in Nature Mr. Edge- combe gives an account of the action of baths on the human system. He says the changes produced are mainly the result of changes that take place in the circulatory system by the ther- mal, chemical or mechanical action of the baths. The blood pressure is mark- edly affected. Some procedures, such as the action of cold water or massage to the limbs, raising it, while others, such as dry or moist heat, lowering it. "An intelligent use of bathing as a therapeutic agent can so act on the cir- culatory system as to regulate. the blood pressure, restore the normal mo- bility of the vessels, promote the inter- change of tissue fluid and profoundly modify nutrition."

PERILS THAT BESET THE MAKING OF NtTROGLYCERIN. Methods Used in the Manufacture of This Dangerous Explosive — The Care That Has to Be Exercised In the Factories. Nitroglycerin and its peculiarities are little known, even in localities where it is made. People generally give it a wide berth, and even a less number know how it is manufactured. Probably in no place in the United States is there such a great amount of the explosive used as in the Indiana oilfields. Indiana has four nitroglycerin factories, and they are seldom visited by curious people. The explosive is made from a compo- sition of acids and glycerin. It is gener- ally pale yellow in color, and quite col- orless when pure. It is odorless, and has a sweet, pungent, aromatic flavor. If touched by one's tongue, or even brought into contact with the skin, it will produce a severe headache. A large tank, called an agitator, is where the fluid is mixed, and the mixture is composed of equal parts of nitric and sulphuric acids. Inside the tank are several paddles, like those of a churn, and it is here that the real danger In the manufacture exists. The paddles are put in operation and a steady stream of sweet glycerin is turned into a vat until 250 pounds are thoroughly mixed with the 1,500 pounds of acid. The chemicals coming in contact pro- duce an intense heat, and in order to obviate the danger cold water is run through pipes encircling and running through the vat. At 85 degrees F. a red vapor, almost like fire, arises. If cutting off the supply of glycerin in the agitator does not lower the temper- ature, it is time to say farewell. Before 90 degrees are reached nothing but atoms of the structure and its contents are left. In Its manufacture water is used to flood the workroom, since a drop fall- ing on the floor might lead to an explo- sion. Not a nail is to be found in the floor of the factory, and the visitor is cautioned not to drag his feet. Those who make the dangerous fluid say that a jar will not cause an explosion; that friction and fire are the only agencies by which it can be discharged. One may pour a barrel of nitroglycerin from a high building to a cement walk below and it will not explode, but a small quantity of it dropped from the same height in a can will blow the building down. A sharp concussion in- stantly touches it off. Factories be- come useless after a few years' opera- tion and have to be destroyed. The timber becomes saturated with nitro- glycerin and an explosion is imminent at any time. The average production of nitroglyc- erin from 1,500 pounds of acid and 250 pounds of glycerin is about 150 quarts. About 160 quarts constitute an average shot for an Indiana oil well. While magazine explosions are not rare, the real cause of the blowing up never be- comes known. Those who are close enough to see the cause always go up with the building. The average time for a shooter or nitroglycerin maker to remain in the business does not exceed five years. Death Is instant, and no one has ever recovered from a nitro- glycerin accident. Bodies are torn to atoms no larger than bits of sausage. The wages of employees of the fac- tories range from $125 to $150 a month. Colonel William A. Myers of Bolivar, N. Y., was the man who made and ex- ploded the first pound of nitroglycerin in an oil well. He built the first fac- tory in the United States near Titus- ville, Pa., in 1868. Up to that time powder had been used to torpedo oil wells. It was then that an explosive that could be discharged under water was found In nitroglycerin. Colonel Myers' father was a Philadelphia chemist and taught his son how to make it. The first well torpedoed was on Colo- nel Mills' lease, near Titusville, and the charge consisted of only two pounds. 011 was worth $9 a barrel then, and a torpedo that would double the produc- tion of a well was worth almost what the maker chose to ask for it. Colonel Myers built 12 different factories in different parts of the oil regions from 1868 to 1885, when he retired from the business. Only one of the original fac- tories stands intact today. Myers made several fortunes and spent his money like a prince, but, fortunately for him, he still has a snug sum laid by. Well shooters spin great yarns of their experiences, and the stories are of the hair raising order. Well shoot- ers generally are fatalists to a consid- erable degree in their belief, and it is probably one reason why they do not fear the fluid. They state that when one would think it was the most dan- gerous the explosive is the safest. The smallest drop can be placed on an anvil and struck by the heaviest Sledge hammer, and the hammer will bound back over the shoulder of the stalker, no matter how much he may try to bold It. Some claim that it will tear the arm oft, but this is exaggera- tion. Transporting the explosive from a magazine to a well is not as danger- ous as timid people think, according to thB-shooters. It is transported in square cans such as are used for var- nish. In preparing for shooting a well, a long tin shell is suspended in the tub- ing, and the shooter pours the fluid in as if it was water. It Is not un- usual for 200 quarts to be in a well shooter's wagon on one trip. A slight leak in a can may be touched off by friction and explode the entire load. If it should explode in tthe center of a town, every building world be reduced �inttontly. to debris.—Indianapolis Jour - The Only High Grade Baking Powder Offered at a Mod. crate Price. rAlUMETPo d"� NOT MADE BY THE TRUST. NONE SO COOD. SHELVED HIS INVENTION. An Experience Which Taught the Mechanical Expert a Lesson. One of the best mechanical engineers In New Orleans told an interesting story apropos of the tribulations of in- ventors. "About three years ago," he said, "I got up a little device that greatly simplified the working of a certain type of pump. I took out patents that cost me in the neighbor- hood of $300, including attorney's fees, and finally submitted the thing to a big manufacturing concern in the north. The proprietors at once con- ceded the merit of the invention and offered Inc $500 down and a royalty of $125 on each one used. The cash pay- ment amounted to nothing, for it really fell short of covering my time and ex- penses, but the royalty was generous, and I figured It out that it would yield me an income of $3,000 or $4,000 for several years—perhaps longer, it de- pended on bow soon something better entered the field. "Accordingly, I accepted the proposi- tion and transferred all my right. Now, how much do you think I actually re- ceived? Not a penny! No, I haven't been cheated; at least, all the accounts have been perfectly straight. The trouble is they never put the device on the market. They simply stuck the patents and drawings in a pigeonhole and there they remain to this day. "Why did they do it, did you ask? To save money. The public is very well suited with their pump as it stands, and it is doubtful if they could get any more for it with my improvement add- ed. Such a step would merely cut down the net profit, so they prefer to let well enough alone. It was necessary, of course, to get my invention safely shelved, or it might have been taken up by some enterprising rival, and the only earthly reason for spending $500 on the thing was to put It out of the way. It was rather rough on me, to be sure, but the experience was valu- able, and I won't get caught that way again." — New Orleans Times -Demo- crat. GLASSES FOR THE EYES. The Reason They Are Worn by Bo Many Persons Nowadays. The question is often asked, particu- larly by those who can recall the cus- toms and experiences of 25 years ago, "Why do so many persons nowadays we'ar glasses?" The answer is easy. "The increase in the number of spec- tacles worn is not to be regarded as an evidence of modern degeneration of the eyes, but rather that a long felt necessity has been met." For it should be remembered that within the past quarter of a century much has been learned about the value of glasses, and the range of their application and use- fulness has been enormously extended. Of course the eyes need more help now than formerly, as the amount of work they are required to do is much -greater than at any previous period in the world's history. The sewing machine and many other inventions of its class save the labor of the hands only to add to that required of the eyes. New employments, new amusements and new fashions are continually be- ing introduced to increase the exae- tsns laid upon these sensitive and delicate organs. The steady decrease of illiterav, together with the general cheapness of literature and a spread of a taste for it, the enormous circula- tion of novel, magazine and newspa- per, the ever increasing use of artificial illumination, all combine to overtax the eyes and to weaken or possibly de- stroy the sight unless the required aid and protection be supplied through every means at our disposal. Thus it happens that the some time luxury of properly adapted glasses has come to be recognized and understood by very many of the present generation as one of the real necessities of their lives.— Lippincott's. English Officers Wear Armor. Many officers of the British army are wearers of armor. As a general rule the mail is inclosed in a leather casing, which is sewed inside the tunic, so as to be invisible unless the garment is picked to pieces. And the same with helmets—a similar device le fixed In the lining, so as to give addi- tional protection in case of need. Some officers are not above wearing mai) vests underneath their tunics and per- fectly oblivious. of their comrades, who, although they may scoff in times of peace, would only be too glad to don one themselves when in the middle of hostilities. The majority of the mak- er's customers are officers, because the suits awe very expensive, costing about 10 gufueas each.—Regiment. Ventilating Bees. In tropical countries there are what one can only describe as ventilating bees. During the bot season two or three bets post themselves on their heads at the entrance of the hive and fan the interior with the incessant mo- tion of their wings. They are relieved at intervals by fresh bees who carry on the procgss. They are kept to their duty by a sort of patrol of bees. This is a well authenticated fact ,ti 8ss • IRVING TODD & SON.

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be in- curable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0., is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from ten drops to a teaspoon- ful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer 8100 for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi- monials. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0.

Moser, upper Ramsey Street, on Sun- day from septicemia, after an illness of three weeks. He was born at Prescott, Wis., July 28th, 1875, and came with his parents to Hastings when but two years old. He was a graduate of our high school, class of '92, and of the law school at St. Louis last June. After passing the required examination of the state board in September he was admitted to practice, but for several months had been a valued assistant in the office of the state superintendent of public instruction, St. Paul. Mr. Moser was one of the most promising young men in the city, and his death when just ready to begin active life for himself, with such brilliant pros- pects for the future, is a particularly sad one. He was a hard student, of exceptionally fine business qualities and training, of lofty aspirations, thoroughly conscientious in all his actions, and a loyal friend.

TH, E REUNION Itt .14 Showing How Desirable It Was to Bea Josslyn and Possess the Josalyn China. Itt BY HARRIET CARYL COX. Mia n, on he er od to ve y - w a d el a e 'S `1 t- d 11 r - a y� e 0 u r r "Yes, I have heard of the reunio but I can't say that I feel balled up to go," Elmira remarked as she let t printed slip fall into her lap. "I nev felt very proud of the Josslyn blo anyway. Mother would stick it in my name, but I must say the folks I' seen bearing that name weren't an thing very remarkable. And no there'll be a whole gang of them - whole gang of Josslyns." She sniffe scornfully. "No, I really don't fe called upon to go to their old reunion she repeated decisively. "I don't suppose you do," Amell agreed. "Of course there wouldn't b anybody you ever knew or would wan to know. It ain't as if it were father family." Elmira reared her head proudly. should say not," she answered empha scally. "Why, there are governors an senators and lawyers and -and every thing in grandfather's ancestors." "They might have some among a the josslyns," Amelia suggested; "pe haps just a senator or something i some branch of the family." Elmira shook her head decisive] "Do you remember Great-aunt Sarah, she demanded, "and Uncle Job and and the apple tree?" This she spok in a whisper. Amelia nodded. "And did you ever see such a lot o nobodies in all your life as you used t see at the funerals and weddings? Yo felt as if you'd got to apologize to you neighbors for them. Ancestors, indeed You needn't try to tell me they eve bad any ancestors at all, any of them.' She took up the paper and glanced i through again. "It is proposed to gather together all the genealogical lore and traditions, to separate tradition from fact and final- ly4.`lo publish a book in which shall be a complete history of the Josslyn fam- ily from Adad1 to the present genera- tion. To do this it is necessary that all branches of the family be represented, and it is earnestly requested that, as far as possible, all persons in whom flows any drop of the Josslyn blood gather at this reunion and contribute their share to the fund of informa- tion." "1 suppose I might go," she said thoughtfully after a few moments' pause. "Of course I'm not called upon to, but it wouldn't hurt me any, and I might find it kind of interesting just to look on." She looked inquiringly at her sister. "1 would if I were you," Amelia re- plied promptly. ,"I'd go if I had the chance. It's a dreadful thing to be so lame." She sighed dismally. "I s'pose you'd like to hear about it," Elmira remarked. "I might go on your account, so as to amuse you talking about it afterward. It mightn't be so very bad, because I'm not very much Josslyn, you know. They always said I favored father's side, anyhow. The Itumsteads were all dark, and grand- father used to say he didn't believe I'd a drop of Josslyn blood in me at all. You got it all, Amelia. You ought to be the one to go; but, seeing you can't, 1 s'pose I will. You'll be glad to have me, won't you, Amelia?" • • • • • • Amelia sat by the little side window and peered anxiously out. The train had come some time ago. She had beard its whistle and seen long puffs of smoke over the marshes, and she knewi , t ought to be time for her sister to appear. I never knew her to be so long com- ing before," she murmured fretfully to herself. "Maybe she's stopped at Sarah's to get some eggs. I hope she hasn't, because Sarah brought some over just after she went away." There was a sudden peal at the front doorbell. Amelia rose and hobbled to the door. "My land!" she exclaimed as Elmi- ra's face confronted her. Then she dropped her voice as she saw a strange man by her sister's side. "I forgot my latchkey, you know," Elmira said airily, "or I wouldn't have troubled you, Amelia. This is our cous- in, Bradford Josslyn. He's come out to see the n china d b an asg of to go back on the next train, so we'll have to hurry. You take him into the dining room while I go and get it. We have to be very careful of it, you see, because we think so much of it," she explained to the stranger as she departed toward the attic. Amelia led the way silently to the dining room. The parlor was cold. El- mira had evidently reasoned that out, and then, too, the dining room was the best place to show china of course. But just what was the china? Thus she reasoned as she passed through the long hall and ushered the man into the old fashioned dining room. "You are very fortunate in having so much beautiful old furniture," their guest remarked. "In so many fami- lies it gets scattered, but you seem to have a mine of it here, and the china, If it is the china" - He stopped. Elmira was fumbling at the doorknob. She entered proudly and walked across to the table, where she deposited her burden. There were a pitcher, some cups and a platter, with a dull red pattern running over them. "It is!" he cried exultingly. "Of course!" Elmira assented care- lessly. "I knew it as soon as the pa- per told about it and wanted to find the other pieces. There are more up stairs, but this is all I could bring at once." ' There was some more conversation and a starch in the family Bible, and the man departed. Elmira saw him to the door; then she slammed it hard and fairly ran back to where her sister was waiting and drop- ped into the old rocker and began to rock violently to and fro. "We are somebody," she announced triumphantly; "we are big somebodies, Amelia. We can be Daughters of the Revolution and Colonial Dames and Descendants of the Mayflower and- and"- She was fairly out of breath. "I'd cool off a little if I were you," her sister suggested. "Kind of slow up, can't you, Elmira, and tell me all about it? You know I couldn't go." "Of course not, you poor dear!" El- mira leaned forward and kissed her tenderly. "But you're a Josslyn just the same, Amelia, and you've the looks more'n any one there. I always said you had, you know. "There was a lot there, and at first I felt kind of queer. And you had to tell all you knew about your ancestors to a man, and he had a lot of papers and seemed to know everybody, and he said I was very straight descended - that meaps you, of course, too, only you weren't there -and he was talking about me, and he introduced me to a woman and said something that I did not hear, but it made her extra nice to Ine, and she took me around and intro- duced me to 'most everybody, and they was as fine a looking set of folks as I ever see, even if I do say it, and they're relations. "They've been having a dreadful time straightening out some records and try- ing to trace some pattern that was on some china that came over in the May- flower and was used in England before that. A lot of the sons had had whole sets made like it, and it had got all scattered round, and when they came to describe it it came across me ail of a sudden of that box of crockery up in the attic that grandfather gave us and we didn't ever use 'cause 'twas so old and cracked. So I up and told 'em about it." "Right out afore everybody?" Amelia gasped. "Of course! Wasn't I as much a Joss- lyn as any of 'em,even if my last name isn't Josslyn? My middle name is, any- way, and a person's middle name is just as much their own as their last. "Well, they were dreadfully interest- ed, and 1 told 'em lots of things they didn't seem to know, and 1 guess they was glad 1 came. "That man didn't seem to more'n half believe we had the china, so I just brought him out to see for himself. 1 guess the Josslyns ain't impostors. He could see for himself." She turned her head proudly. "And that man is worth $3,000,000," she confided to her sister impressively. "Three million dollars, and he's a big swell, and he hasn't but one piece of the china with the Josslyn pattern on it, and that came to him through an aunt." , She glanced at the table exultingly. "There's more up in the attic," she said as she clasped her hands. Amelia moved laboriously across the room, took up the cups and wiped ahem carefully with a fine towel. Then she took the teapot off the stove. "We might have a cup of tea in them to- night," she suggested. "I suppose we could use them quite often," Elmira said. "It's only proper that we should use the family china." She sipped her tea slowly. "I've ordered a new set of cards," she announced, with a furtive glance at her sister, "and they're going to read Elmira Josslyn-Buinstead." There was a silence for a moment. "And 1 ordered some for you, too," Amelia," she added, "because we are both Josslyns, you know." - Atlanta Constitution. A Bad Guess. John Hawtrey was one of England's famous whipping schoolmasters. At Eton, in autumn, the small boys used to buy chestnuts and roast them in a shovel over the fire. One day a boy named P. who was aeat r favorite g o to of Ilawtrey's, had a lot of chestnuts and as a special favor was allowed to make use of the pupil room fire while pupil room was sl t 11din g g on. Hawtrey was going in and out of the room while we were working, and on one occasion, coming in rather quietly, he caught sight of F. kneeling over the fire arranging his chestnuts. The boy's position was irresistible to any lover of the art of chastisement. Not seeing his face and supposing it was one of the other boys stealing the chestnuts, John Hawtrey quietly took his cane from his desk ,and, creeping forward on tip- toe, gave the wretched F. a most tre- mendous whack. The boy jumped up with a yell, his hands clapped behind him. Then the tutor saw who he was and said, em- bracing him: "Oh, my poor boy! I am so sorry! I thought it was another boy stealing tour chestnuts." s. We, of course, were all delighted and oared with laughter. Not Disputing It. "Anybody who knows enough," said Mr. Spiffins, "can learn something from anybody else, however Ignorant the latter may be." "That is true," assented Mrs. SpifHns cheerfully. "Now, I can occasionally Learn something from you." -Pittsburg Chronicle -Telegraph. Unfathomable Mystery. "What Is the greatest mystery of life?"

Thrown Out of Court. "In the good old days of Kentucky," says The Bar, "there was a court com- posed of three magistrates to try cer- tain cases appealed from a single jus- tice of the ttpeace. The three magis- trates were backwoodsmen. A case was being tried one day that was very important, and several hours of listen- ing to the reading of depositions and the arguments of counsel, pro and con and pro and con again, bad so nearly entangled the court in a labyrinth of perplexing questions of law and fact that they doubted their ability to blaze their way out. So they whispered to the leading lawyer at the bar, who was sitting by as a spectator, and asked him what he thought ought to be done with the case. " `I think it ought to be thrown out of court,' was the prompt and emphat- lc reply. "That settled it. " `Mr. Clerk,' said the chief magis- trate, 'pass up them papers.' "The papers, which made quite a large bundle, were handed the chief magistrate. " `Now, Mr. Sheriff,' said he deliber- ately, 'open that window.' "The sheriff opened the window and the case was thrown out of court. "The feud that followed lasted for 15 years." What It Might Have Cost. In a certain town in Vermont, said the Boston drummer as he chewed away at a pepsin tablet, i picked up a wallet containing $500 in cash. In It were papers bearing the owner's name, and he proved to be the mayor of the town. I at once bunted him up and handed over his lost cash, and as he received It he looked nee over and scratched the back of his head and said: "I shall reward you, of course. How much do you think you ought to have?" "Nothing whatever, sir. I am glad to restore your property." "But you expect something?" "No, sir." "Didn't look for me to give you a cent?" "Not a red." "It don't seem possible," he went on as he looked me over again, "but i'll have to take you at your word. Do. you know what it might have cost me, sir, had any one else found this wal- let?" "I can't say, of course." "I'd have had to hand over at least 10 cents, sir, and he might have struck for 15 or 25." --Ohio State Journal. A Close Estimate. Speaking about close estimates, Gen- eral John M. Wilson, chief of en- gineers, made one some time ago. Con- gress called upon him to make an es- timate of the cost of an addition to the government printing office. As it was near the close of the session and congress was hurriedly getting through its work, little time was given General Wilson to consider the matter. but be submitted his estimate, and the appro- priation was made accordingly. He estimailkd that the proposed building. according to the plans and specifica- tions which had been drawn, would cost $121,121.90. The building was completed. and there was $9.l1 surplus covered back into the treasury. Gen eral Wilson was put in charge of this work, and he took a great deal of in- terest in it. He always gave credit, however, to Lieutenant Sewell of the engineer corps. who shad the Immo dlate supervision of the work, for the care with which the building was erected and the fact that the cost did not overrun the estimate and appro- priation. -Washington Cor.

The f,ew York Tribune is loyally republican on all public questions, although it never dis- torts the news for party purposes and never screens misconduct to public affairs, because discovered among party friends. The Tribune comtnends itself to every republican family in the country, not only by its decency and digni- ty, but by its wide variety of contents and its vigorous editorial arguments to favor of the masterly policies, which havitatmought genuine prosperity to the country aid glloory to its arms and which promise high prestige in the future. The persistent labor of The Tribune during the tour years of President Cleveland, its im- mense, circulation reaching every hillside and valley in the United ftstes, is regarded by many friends as having contributed very materially to prepare the country for the return, in 1896, to protection and sound money and to vote for a republican candidate for the presidency. It may as well be confessed that one object of The Tribune, in putting forth its new and admir- able tri -weekly edition, is to render an addi- tional service to the great party, on whose suc- cess in 1900 a continuation of business prosperi- ty sed wise government depend. A Great Daily. The Daily and Sunday Tribune, 910 a year (the latter having an illustrated supplement ot twen- ty pukes of great beauty and interest) with its wealth of general information and attractive special features and pictures, is, by far. the best raid roost valmble edition issued from The Trib- une office. Far a business man, who can receive it at a reasonable hour, this edition is superior to all others. .4 Handsome Tri -Weekly. The'l'ri- Weekly Tribune, $1.50 a year, has re-. eeatly superseded the late Semi -Weekly Tribune, and is a handsome, fresh, breezy, every -other -day newspaper, It will'we think. prove the best mi0L substitute for a rolxslituu daily, yet found. Every number is eu9 good as a daily of the Name date. For many people, it will answer the pur- p tees of a daily. 1t gives tine more number each week, for huff a dollar less a year. than the far- mer Semi -Weekly. Iu addition to the news, edi- torials and market prices, it prints each week a great variety of piotorisi, literary and other en- tertaining matter, including humor, hook re- views; Asked and Answered, foreign letters, Home Topics, fashions, fictions, agricultural data, advance information for business men. Science and Mechanics, c13 etc. The market prices ea are accurate and standard. Itis al way safe to look at The Tribune before buying or selling country produce. As a family newspaper The Tri -Weekly Tribune has no superior in the United States. The Tri -Weekly Tribune has been put forth in response to the growing demand for nnore fre- quent issues. It is cordially recommended to every reader, who wants the cream and spirit of The New York Tribune and who lives too tar away for the. Daily, The Sleekly. The Weekly Tribune, $I a year, holds it own an 0 great low-priced farmers' and family news- paper, It can usually be obtained at advautag- eoils terms in conjunction with local weeklies.

HOW LITTLE OF IT WE GET IS ALMOST BEYOND BELIEF. Ieareely One Sunbeam in Two Thou- sand Millions Alights Upon This Earth—A Pen Picture of the Actual Condition of the Fiery Orb. The -sun is for the most part simply wasting his heat—flinging away the golden rays that are the lite of the world with a recklessness beside which all human waste is mere parsimony. It is almost beyond belief. Scarcely one sunbeam in 2,000,000.000 *lights upon the earth, and allowing br the whole solar system not more than one in 100,000,000 ever hits anything. so tar as we can ascertain. Sir Robert Ball's comment on this waste of the sun's beat is: Suppose a man with an income of $1,000,000 a year. He spends for useful purposes 1 cent and throws the rest away. His wastefulness is no greater than that which this old prodigal the sun has practiced for untold ages. The untold amount of heat which thus leaks away through the cracks in the sky cannot be expressed by figures. It is only by considering what it might do that we can get any conception of It. This is probably the most striking Illustration, and isgiven by an eminent astronomer: Suppose a solid shaft of Ice two miles square to be extended like a bridge across the gulf which separates the earth from the sun. If a track were laid on its surface an express train running at full speed would require more than 150 years to traverse It. Yet, if the whole heat of the sun were turn- ed upon It for a single second it would be melted, and in a few seconds more all, even to the railroad iron, would drift away as vapor. But what 1s the source of this heat that flows into space as the gulf stream pours into the Atlantic, warm- ing the earth and other planets like lit- tle islands in its course? What keeps up the supply? If the sun were merely a white hot ball, gradually cooling, our grandchil- dren would Indeed get a chill; or, rather, neither they nor we would ever have seen the sun. The final frost would have fallen long ago. Nor can the heat be maintained by fire,.as we understand the word—such fire as warms and now and then consumes our houses. If it were a globe of flaming coal it could have last- ed but a few thousand years; it would have been burned to ashes long before we were born. All the coal on the earth would hardly keep the sun going for one-tenth of a second. A falling meteor gives out great heat, just as a bullet is heated when it strikes the target. Some have conjec- tured that a vast stream of these little hailstones raining upon the sun supplies its fuel. But if the whole mass of the moon were put into a stone crusher, broken up and thrown against the sun, it would barely furnish heat for a sin- gle year. And no such weight could possibly approach the sun without our knowledge. Yet, in its own chosen way, the sun really has its fires. With proper in- struments we may see the red flames spouting from its edge, sometimes to a height of 400,000 miles—higher than the moon floats above the earth. To some of them our world would be no more than a water drop falling from a fountain. To gain any idea of the almost inex- haustible reservoir from which the sun draws its heat we must first picture its actual condition. Matter there is in a state unlike anything ever seen upon earth. It is neither solid nor liquid nor in anyfamiliar sense gaseous. The sun is a boiling, seething, flaming mix- ture of the gases or vapors of all the elements condensed by the tremendous. squeeze of solar gravity until it is thicker than pitch, and so hot that its vaporized iron might be used for steam. power If there were any boiler fit to hold it. It has no definite surface, but shades away from this incandescent paste, through leaping flames of blood red hydrogen to the faint streamers of the corona, as filmy as a comet's tail. This writhing mass, heavier on the average than water and yet as un- stable as air, does not even rotate like other orbs, but swirls around its axis. In the terrific tension of these gases is stored up the energy of the sun. As this escapes in gushes of heat they do not cool. hitt slowly contract. It is quite possible that they even grow hot- ter as they thus settle downward and compress themselves ` into a denser fluid. A total shrinkage of 220 feet a year will account for the whole expenditure, and so small a change in the size of the disk could not be detected until it had been watched for thousands of years. This will go on until the substance of the sun ceases to be essentially gase- ous. Then will come the beginning of the end, for from that time forth the actual temperature of the sun will de- cline. This, however, will be In some far distant day, for careful scientists as- sure us that our race will enjoy un- diminished sunshine for at least 5,000 years, and perhaps for twice 5,000. Then, while the sun slowly reddens and darkens, our earth will die. After that comes the night of ages.—Charles Kelsey Gaines in New York World. NOT ON THE TIME TABLE. The Carious Reason For Which a Train Was Side Tracked. In the rarefied atmosphere of the high tablelands of Mexico objects that are really a long way off appear to be close at hand. This has led to many ludicrous mistakes on the part of tour- ists, and even on the part of those hav- ing a knowledge of the peculiarity of the country. The Mexican Central railroad bas a tangent (section of track In which there Is no curve) that is said to be the longest in the world. It Is over 60 miles in length, and a locomotive head- light can be seen, of course, for a very long distance. One evening a train rounded the curve approaching this tangent, and as it entered on the straight track its brakes suddenly began to grind. It soon came to a standstill, and the con- ductor, fearing that an accident had befallen the engine, hurried forward, and was shown by the engineer a light that was twinkling and dancing on the track directly ahead. "A headlight, sure," the engineer said. "Must be an extra and the dis- patchers have overlooked It, for orders do not mention it." "Guess you are right," the conductor replied, "but I never knew the dis- patchers to be so careless before. Any- where but on this tangent there would have been a collision and somebody killed. We'd better move ahead slowly to the next side track. We can't tell just how near that train may be, and we will wait for it to pass us there." They reached the side track in safety, and, drawing in on It, awaited the coming of the other train. Half an hour passed, and the engineer was fuming, wondering bow much longer he was to be delayed, when the con- ductor called him to step out to the main line. "What do you think of that head- light, now?" he asked, when the engi- neer had joined him. "Seems to have got clear up and off the road." The engineer gazed at the twinkling light, then, "Venus, by Jupiter!" he ex- claimed. 'Billy, we've side tracked to let a star go by, or my name's not Smith"—Youth's Companion. CLOTHES AND THE MAN. The Difference Being Well Dressed Made to a Cabinet Ofieial. "Yes, the clothes a man wears make a great deal of difference in this world, especially In official life," remarked the private secretary of a cabinet offi- cial, who is compelled to see many people and to hold u.any more people at bay. "I was especially struck with the Importance of clothing some time ago," continued the official'when the as- sistant secretary was absent and it was my duty to stave all the callers off the secretary. I do that often, but when the assistant secretaries are here they help a great deal. "Well, I noticed on the occasion I referred to that I had no trouble in keeping people away when I wore my Prince Albert and looked like the real thing. When I told them that the sec- retary was too busy to see callers, they thought I owned the whole place and walked away without remonstrance or without saying that their business was very important and they were sure they would be seen If I would just take their names to the secretary. "When I wore an average looking business suit, which might look just a little bit shabby, the callers didn't pay much attention to what I said. It was more difficult than you can imagine to get them to go away. They would find all kinds of excuses to remain and to get me to present their names to the secretary. The difference was so ap- preciable as to be noticed by others in the room. I found that it paid me to go well dressed on all occasions and that I was much more useful to my execu- tive head."—Washington Star. Unfortunate Resemblance.

The process has become a necessity in modern times in order to promote fairness in commercial com- petition and to cheapen certain com- modities when used exclusively in in- dustrial operations. Thus a few years ago the manufacture of caffeine was almost monopolized by Germany on account of the fact that tea intended for human consumption in this country was too expensive to extract. Owing, however, to the representations of English scientific manufacturers, a revised regulation was framed a few /ears ago according to which damaged tea could be admitted duty free provid- ed that it was "denatured" and ren- dered wholly unfit for human con- sumption by treatment with lime and asafetida. Tea treated in this way is now used profitably for the manufac- ture of caffeine, and England has be- come the chief seat of the manufac- ture and has thus completely turned the tables upon her competitors, for now the alkaloid Is exported from this country to Germany and America. A similar example, we believe, occurs in the case of damaged or unclaimed tobacco which previously was destroy- ed in the "queen's pipe" at the docks. Instead of this waste going on, such tobacco Is now largely used for the preparation of nicotine washes for kill- ing vermin, etc. Without "denaturalization" alcohol for the purpose of the arts and Indus- tries would be so expensive as to be prohibitive, because It would be drink- able. But recourse has been made to adding a substance to the spirit which makes it undrinkable, but which at the same time does not interfere with its properties for certain manufacturing processes. Formerly wood spirit was employed; but. such Is the evil tend- ency of human nature, the vile mix- ture became a cheap and favorite tip- ple. Next a portion of petroleum spirit was tried. a method obtaining at the present day. but even this has been found to be a palatable as it certainly is an intoxicating mixture by some persons. Cases are even recorded in which some depraved wretches find paraffin oil an agreeable stimulant. The problem, therefore, of "denatural- izing" alcohol cannot be regarded as satisfactorily settled. The latest sug- gestion is acetone oil, of which 1 per cent is said to be sufficient. But that nasty, nauseous. onion smelling liquid, allylic alcohol, Is said to give even bet- ter results added In the proportion of one-tenth to one-half of 1 per cent in volume. The desiderata of a "dena- turalizer" for alcohol are that it should render unlit for consumption without making It more Inflammable, while the material should be cheap and easy to detect, and its separation by rectifica- tion should be impossible for any com- mercial advantage. Coined Words. Coined words! I have made a little study of them myself, always with disappointing results. I always run across them, after discovering them, somewhere about 100 years before the birth of the inventor. I once coined a name, away back in 1876, for one of my so called humorous characters— Bilderback. I put the Bilderback fam- ily in jocus print for several years. One night, about 1887, I lectured in Sa- lem, N. J., and told one of my Wider - back stories. The audience was con- vulsed with more mirth than the story called for. After the lecture I was in- troduced to about a doyen Bilderbacks, who enjoyed my story more than any one else.—Robert J. Burdett. in Ohau- tauquan. Blaine and Thurman. The senate has always been con- trolled by lawyers, who are the aristo- cratic class in the United States, and Blaine was at a disadvantage because he did not belong to the profession. The law lords were disposed to dis- parage and flout him, but he was dis- respectful to the verge of irreverence. "Does the senator from Maine think I am an idiot?" roared Thurman, in reply to an interrogatory Blaine put to him one day in the Pacific railroad debate. "Well," bellowed Blaine, "that de- pends entirely on the answer you make to my question!"—Saturday Evening Post. Absurd on the Face of 1t.

' Perhaps in no state of the Union has climate so much to do with the charac- ter of the people as in Colorado is the contention of a writer in Ainslee's. He says in part: "Go into Colorado, climb the long ascent from the level of the Missouri and then as you emerge from the train into the handsomely improved streets and among the unsurpassed brick and stone residences of Denver feel your head swim with the lofty altitude and the rarefied air; then realize that the miners went on a mile farther Into the air, that they are uorking and taking out millions of dollars of gold to the present day a mile higher in the air at Cripple Creek, at Leadville and a dozen other places. It w:l1 make you pguse to think what exaltation there is in dwelling there always, what staying powers the pioneers must have bad. "Wait a day or until the vertigo has passed away and the exhilaration comes to you that always comes when you have climbed a mountain and stood upon its top and gazed out over a wide world that expands below you. Then you will begin to feel that elec- tric, that nervous surcharge, that In. domitable, undiscourageable, almost towering spirit of elevation and still further elevation that makes Colorado almost the liveliest, the most irre- pressible, the most determined element in the American body, social and poli- tic." Laws of Nature. In his address to the mathematics and physics section of the British as- sociation Professor Poynting said that the old conception of laws as self suf- ficing governors of nature was a survi- val of a much older conception of the scope of physical science. Man, knowing that his purpose and will were followed by motions and changes in the matter about him, thought of similar purpose and will behind all the motions and changes which he ob- served. Taking this anthropomor- phic, or psychical, view, the laws he formulated were not merely descrip- tions of similarities of behavior, but they were also expressions of fixed purpose and the resulting constancy of action. They were commands given to matter which It must obey. The mod- ern views of laws of nature, however, are merely brief descriptions of ob- served similarities. Ocean Floor. In his address to the geography sec- tion of the British association on the "Ocean Floor" Sir John Murray said that the deep sea is a region of dark- ness as well as of low temperature, for the direct rays of the sun are wholly absorbed in passing through the super- ficial layers of water. Plant life is quite absent over 98 per cent of the bottom of the ocean. The abundant deep sea fauna which covers the ocean floor is ultimately dependent for food upon organic matter assimilated by plants near the surface of the ocean or In the shallower waters near the coast lines. Hence the remains of organisms which lived In tropical sunlight all their lives now Ile buried In the same ocean floor deposit with those of organ- isms which lived in darkness and at a temperature near the freezing point of water. A Curious Battle. An interesting spectacle was wit- nessed the other day on the banks of the river Soar, near Hathern, by a gen- tleman resident in the district Being attracted by a peculiar cry, he turned aside and came upon a young otter and a huge eel engaged in a deadly strug- gle. The otter had evidently caught the eel, which had retaliated by wind - lug itself tightly round the former's neck. The fight lasted several min- utes, the otter eventually freeing itself and making off with a part of the eel. which it bad bitten in two.—London Telegraph. Siberian Post Horses. The horses, the small. hardy breed of the steppes, are worked up to the last ounce in them, on good road or bad, and when they rear`.: the welcome post - house are tied up under a mere lean to and there left all 10 a lather to freeze stiff until their turn of service comes round again. For some reason which I have never been able to ascertain they are invariably tied up with their heads drawn as high as they will go. On taking them out for another stage the driver, whose whip has a sort of saw tooth arrangement affixed to the end on the side of the stock opposite the lash, roughly ficrapes off with It the hoar frost which bas thickly in- crusted their legs and, indeed, their whole bodies. At first the poor beasts walk with the gait of a Duteb doll; but, as the driver says, he "soon warms them up." Another peculiarity of these marvelous steeds is that they always get a pail- ful or more of ice Cold water to drink before starting out for their "trick" on the road, with til. result that they tremble all over in a manner pitiable to see, but otherwise seem to be only the more fit for- flier work.—Black- wood. UTILIZING FOG. Nast, Coakling sad Curtis. It 1e to be suspected that some of Tom Nast's wittiest work with his marvelous pencil was "printed, not published"—was intended simply to gratify his friends—and never met the eyes of the general public. Not long -ago, in looking over the album of a lady who for years was a social leader at Washington. I came across a con- i tribution of Nut's which was as ef- fective In its way as any of the car- toons which have made his name fa- MOUs. He wanted to impress upon the lady that Washington life had been too much for him and did so by drawing a capital full length picture of himself as he appeared walking along the ave- nue. What gave the picture point and rendered it irresistible was the fact that the back of his head was where his face ought to be—in other words, Washington had turned his head. I suppose the politicians still recall Roscoe Conkling's famous allusion to the great cartoonist in his Rochester speech "dedicated" to George William Curtis. Mr. Curtis at the time was the editor of Harper's Weekly, a position which he had held for many years. In the course of his philippic Mr. Conkling took occasion to refer to The Weekly, and, although Mr. Curtis sat listening to him, he described it simply as "the paper made famous by the pencil of Nast."—New York Mall and Express. Observations on the Pacific Coast In Time of Drought. A. McL. Hawks, a civil engineer of Tacoma, who lived in San Diego from March to May in 1898, tells the United States Weather Review that during that period an absolute drought pre- vailed. No rain feu, the streams dried up, the ranches were barren, cattle were driven out of the state to save them, and the fruit trees nearly perish- ed. Yet more than half of the even - Ings saw a great fog bank roll in from the ocean and cover up the scene to a depth of from 1,000 to 5,000 feet. A very little moisture would then con- dense on the grass and elsewhere, not- ably upon a horizontal board painted black. Inasmuch as only a little additional influence seemed to be needed to pro- duce a larger deposit, Mr.. Hawks makes various suggestions, which the editor of The Weather Review does not deem practicable. He recommends the evaporation of liquid air to pro- duce a chill at the earth's surface, and asks if it would be feasible to suck down the cool upper atmosphere through some kind of a chimney or stack. It is pointed out by Professor Abbe that Mr. Hawks himself offers one use- ful hint. The condensation on black painted boards could be utilized by making the boards slightly concave and placing one end a little lower than the other. The accumulated moisture ought then to drip from the end of the board either into a pall or upon the plants which it is desirable to reach. Something of this sort is practiced by nature on Green mountain, on the is- land of Ascension, and the weather bureau advises the agriculturists of southern California to try the experi- ment here outlined. His Happy Future. The Saunterer happened to be dining with a friend the other evening, and of course the table's population includ- ed the inevitable 5 -year-old boy. The latter had fallen into the habit of ask- ing for all kinds of impossible things, being refused and going howling from the room in obedience to the command. He would re-enter two minutes later with a half dozen dirty streaks and a bright I -accept -your -apology smile on his face. On this evening, after the third ex- cursion, he suddenly conceived an af- fection for the sugar bowL He reached for it, got it and as promptly gave it up in response to the threatening hand of his mother. His father glanced up casually, waiting for the usual out- burst before he sent him out, but in- stead the child's face brightened, and his eyes twinkled with anticipation. "What are you so glad about, Wil- lie?" asked his father. "I w-uz thinkin," answered Willie— "I wuz thinkin of all the sugar I'm goin to have when everybody else in this house is dead."—Philadelphia In- quirer. A Mountain of Alum. In China, 121 miles from the village of Liou-Chek, there is a mountain of alum which, in addition to being a nat- ural curiosity, is a source of wealth for the inhabitants of the country, who dig from it yearly tons of alum. The mountain is not less than ten miles in circumference at its base and has a height of 1,940 feet. The alum is ob- tained by quarrying large blocks of stone, which are first heated in great furnaces and then in vats filled with boiling water. The alum crystallizes out and forms a layer about six inches In thickness. This layer is subsequent- ly broken up into blocks weighing about ten pounds each. C lent Combination. An exceedingly novel combination kitchen utensil is the shovel and stove lid lifter made and patented by a New York inventor. The lifter consists of Monkeys Fearless. Until a monkey !s beaten he has no fear. He would as soon, attack a lion as a gnat, and as long as he can look into your eyes he will not submit He considers himself the master. Avert the head and he gives in. This is a recognized fact among animal train- ers. The ringtall monkeys taken about by Italians are very gentle and are never whipped. SHOVEL AND LID LIITYR a suitably formed tongue at the ex- treme end of the rim of the shovel. On the opposite rim, at a point nearer the handle, Is a hook which is design- ed for the purpose of manipulating the damper of the stove or the raking apparatus. Origin of the Horsepower. Not many people know how this unit measurement of mechanical power, called horsepower, received its name. It originated with James Watt, one of whose first steam engines was built to work the pumps of Whitbread's brewery. These Info hitherto been actuated by horses, and to fulfill the contract which demanded that the en- gine should supply as much power as a strong horse Watt kept an excep- tionally powerful animal working for eight hours without resting and found that It had by its exertions succeeded iD r ing 2,000,000 gallons of water. Prow this was deducted the present unit of a horsepower, which is the act of lifting 1683 pounds to a height of three feet per second. It must not be thought, however, that the average horse could be relied upon to provide this power, his lifting strength being only from 65 to 70 pounds three feet high in a second. A Famous Eagle. The eagle which originally decorated the stern of the famous schooner yacht America, which first won what is now known as the America's cup, is now the sign of the Royal Eagle hotel at Ryde, Isle of Wight, overlooking the scene of the vessel's triumph over her Englisb competitors in 1851.

Tragic stories are told of men who have lost their lives In the search for precious metals which may Ile hidden or uncovered, says Harriet Monroe In The Atlantic. The great primeval flood cut its broad V through all the strata of rock, with all their veins of metallic ore, down to the earliest shapeless mass, leaving in its wake the terraced temples and towers which seem to have been planned by some architect of divinest genius to guard their inaccessible treasures till the end of time. And the river, rising far to the north among mountains rich in mineral, has been washing for ages the sands away and depositing thus gold and silver and lead in the still crevices of the inaccessible chasm. Here the earth laughs at her human master and bids him find her wealth If he dare and bear it away if he can. A young Californian who accepted the challenge and set forth upon the turgid water to sift its sands for gold never emerged with his hapless men to tell the story of his search. Only near the brink of- the cleft are a few miners burrowing for copper and sending their ore up to the rim on the backs of hardy burros, as who should prick the moun- tain with a pin or measure the ocean with a cup. Length of Life. According to M. I. Holl Schooling of Brussels, there is a very easy way of calculating the age to which a human being may reasonably expect to live, but it is only applicable if his present age lies between 12 and 86 years. The method is really an old one and was originally discovered by the mathema- tician Demoivre, who in 1865 emigrated from France to England and became a member of the Royal society. The rule Is this: Subtract your present age from 86, divide the remainder by 2, and the result will give the number of years which you may expect to live. The rule may be approximately cornett for some ages and represents, perhaps, the nearest solution of an insoluble problem at which we can arrive.— Chambers' Journal. Merlon Railroad. The Siberian railroad, in the sections already completed, is to be relaid with 72 pound rails, the 54 pound rails first used being too light The reason given officially is the increase In traffic.

The Bank Depositor Had Something to Show For MIs Money. A man with a German accent and a fierce red mustache walked into one of the banks the other day and announc- ed that he wanted to open an account. He was directed to the proper official and from a well worn belt extracted $600. This sum he handed through the window. The bank official shoved the big sig- nature book toward the depositor for his signature. Just then the official's attention was attracted in another di- rection. When, a second later, he turn- ed around, the man with the red mus- tache was coolly walking toward the door with the book, which contained the signatures of all the depositors in the bank, tucked under his arm. The assistant cashier yelled: "Hold on, there"' But the Teuton pursued his course toward the street. The official rushed from behind his counter and caught the new depositor just as he reached the door. "What are you doing with that book?" demanded the bank official an- grily, laying hold of the precious vol- ume. "Why, I thougbt that was the receipt for my $5001" answered the German, completely bewildered. In the same bank a well dressed wo- man called to deposit $300. The assistant cashier pushed the sig- nature book toward her, after receiv- ing the deposit. "Sign your name there," said the offi- cial, Indicating the proper place. The woman took up the pen and made s show of writing, but the steel lint never touched the paper. After a few more fancy flourishes in the air the woman handed back the pen, nay log "Last summer I used to write my name all right, but for some reason I cart do it now." The bank official directed her to make an "X" in the book.—Chicago Journal. Got the Correct Time. Jake Foster was for many years one of the characters of Oregon, Mo. He drove the hack between Oregon and Forest City and was known to every man, woman and child in Holt county. Oregon is three miles from the railroad and for many years was not connected with any other town by either tele- graph or telephone. One morning Rob- ert Montgomery hailed Foster as the hack started for Forest City and said: "Jake. I wish you would get the cor- rect time at Forest. My watch stopped last night" "All right, Bob," said Jake. When Jake returned from Forest, he put up his team and walked around to the bank where Montgomery presided. Stalking into the bank, Jake stepped up to the window and laid down a soiled bit of paper bearing the figures "11:17." "What is that?" asked Montgomery in astonishment. "That." replied Jake, "1s the correct time at Forest."—Omaha World -Her- ald. Lungs and Long Life. One of the most remarkable cases of longevity on record was that of an Englishman, born in 1483, whose deli- cate appearance made all the doctors give him up when he was in the cra- dle. His chest was so narrow, says the report, that he seemed to have difficulty in breathing. Well, this young moribund, condemned by the doctors to die in short order, died in 1651 at the age of 169. He saw the reign of ten kings. Secundl Hang°, consul of Venice at Smyrna, measured only 57 centimeters around the chest, and one of his lungs was diseased.

The late Hall McAllister some years ago entertained a visiting scientist at the Union club, before its amalgama- tion with the Pacific, and during the evening, a particularly foggy one, made some whimsical remark convey- ing the idea that fog was an excellent tonductor of sound. The scientist took exception to this novel theory and asked Mr. McAllister on what It was based. "On phenomena which we have all observed," returned the ready jurist. "On an evening like this we hear the fog horn quit. distinctly, but when there is no fog we cannot hear It at all."—San Francisco Argonaut. *rasing Devotion.

"The meanest place I ever was in," said the man who travels for a Chicago house, "Is down in Massachusetts. Say, do you know what happened while I was stopping there once? A man bad fallen through a bole in a sidewalk and sustained injuries that resulted in the loss of his right arm. He shed the city for damages, and the case was tried before a jury, which, the papers said. was composed of representative elti- sens. Well, what do you suppose they did to him? Brought 1n a verdict In favor of the city, holding that inas- much as he was left handed his injury didn't amount to anything." "Yes," the cigar man said, "that's a pretty mean town, I admit, but I know of a worse one. This place is in Penn- sylvania. An acquaintance of mine down there was injured some time ago 1n pretty'binch the same way the man you mentioned got hurt. He fell on a bad sidewalk and lost one of his legs. He sued the city, and didn't get any- thing. I never heard just why, but probably because the jurors didn't be- lieve he needed more than one leg in his business, seeing that he was a bar- ber and couldn't hone a razor or shave a man with his foot anyway. But wait, I haven't come to the point at which the real meanness developed. Being a poor man, he couldn't afford to buy a cork leg, so he had to get along with a wooden peg, and one day whlle he was crossing the principal street this peg in some way got wedged be- tween a couple of paving stones right In the middle of the street car track. It took them nearly an hour to get him loose, and what do you suppose hap- pened then? Blamed if they didn't go and fine him $10 and costs for obstruct - Ing traffic!"—Chicago Times -Herald. Why a Cemetery Fence? It was a Maine graveyard, and the fence thereof was in a most disreputa- ble condition. Some of the neighbors were trying to start a movement to put a new fence around the cemetery, and it was meet- ing with general approval till the caus- tic wit of Darius Howard was aroused. "What for?" he inquired. "What's the need of fencing the graveyard? There ain't no one inside that wants to come out, and I'm darn sure there ain't any one outside that wants to get M.

DEC. 23d, 1899. The Anoka Herald is considerably exercised over the appointment of John Heinen, of Hastings, to succeed • Johu Coleman, of Anoka, as trustee of the hospitals for the insane. After having had representation upon the hoard three years The Herald is not willing to allow us a voice in the management which the town has not had during the construction and equipment of the two asylums, other- wise both would have been ready for inmates at practically the same trine. Gov. Lind not only recognized Mr. Heinen's business qualifications and general fitness for the place, but also the claims of the locality where he resides, and outside of Anoka the appointment is generally conceded to be an excellent one. The house committees were an- nounced by the speaker on Monday. Mr. Tawney is on ways and means, insular affairs: Mr. McCleary on ap- propriations, labor, library; Mr. Heatwole ou printing (chairman), foreign affairs, census, Washington centennial; Mr. Stevens on merchant marine and fisheries, military affairs; Mr. Fletcher on interstate and foreign commerce, territories, claims; Mr. Morris on rivers and harbors, levees and improvements of the Mississippi River, Roberts case; Mr. Eddy on public lands, mines and mining, Indian affairs.

A quiet wedding occurred at the residence of Mrs. Cora Powers, on Green Street, yesterday afternoon, when Miss Nellie H. Court, of Buffalo, N. D., was united to E. 0. Stoudt, of the same place. Miss Ada Powers was bridesmaid, and Harry M. Court, brother of the bride, groomsman. Carrie and Frank Andrus were the ushers, and little Leila Ritchie, of Battle Creek, ring bearer. At two o'clock, preceded by the ushers, the bridal party descended from the up- per rooms, keeping steps to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, deftly played by Mrs. A. McCoy, and taking their place amid a fine arbor of palms, ferns, carnations, and oth- er flowers, the beautiful service of the Episcopal Church was rendered by the Rev. J. A. Brown, and the happy couple were made husband and wife. The bride was gowned in white silk muslin, trimmed with Godet lace; Miss Powers in yellow silk; the groom and best man in conventional black. After congratulations an elegant luncheon was served, the menu cards being in heart shape, with each course neatly printed on separate pages; the several courses were served in heart shape. Only the immediate relatives were present, but it was a joyous oc- casion. The bride is a niece of Mrs. Powers, and wherever known a favor- ite. While her stay here has been very short, she made many friends whose good wishes go with her to her western home, to which she is not a stranger. The groom is a well to do business man of Buffalo, N. D., where they will make their future home. The bride and groom were the recipients of numerous and costly presents. The party left on the 9:15 train west, and will visit several places before they reach their hoine in the west.

Mr. and Mrs. Stoudt will be at home to their friends at Buffalo after Jan. lst.— Ilastings (Mich.)Journal, 7th. Au Anoka Hick. The appointment of a Hastings man to fill the vacancy on the hospi- tal board caused by the resignation of ,Mr. Coleman is about what might reasonably have been expected of Gov. Lind. Not that Anoka people have any objection to Mr. Heinen personally, but they do consider that the governor might have asked the advice of some of our citizens before making any appointment. The office does not belong to Anoka, but it has as much- claim to it as Hastings has, and by all rules of honesty and fair dealing deserves to be considered and consulted. The appointment of Mr. Coleman was made soon after the hospital had been located here by the commission, at a time when the Hast- ings claim had no legal standing. The Anoka representative remains upon the board until our hospital is nearly ready for occupancy, and then the office is given to Hastings. It is not evening up things to give it to Hastings after Anoka has had it three yaars, for during that time we had no hospital. The action of the governor is simply a play for vote at Hast- ings, as we believe his eto of the hospital bill was last winter. A fair man would either have eon - suited both towns regarding any change proposed, or else would have appointed a resident of some city not interested in either institution. But Mr. Lind is not fair, and we have even heard it hinted that he isn't honest, although we should hesitate to make sucn a charge positively at this time. To prove that he has not kept faith with Anoka in this math, however, needs the introduction of no new evidence. He gave his word that Anoka would get its rights if he could secure them by any honorable act. and he has thrown us down every time an opportunity presented itself. But such moral lapses seem to worry him little, so long as votes are con- cerned.—Anoka Herald, 15th.

Work in the piueries has been greatly delayed by the mild weather the past fall. Lumbermen generally have swamp roads to prepare, and it takes cold weather for them. Cold weather is more of a necessity than snow, as the work is now done.— Taylor's Falls Journal. Card of Thanks.

For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a Local disease. andrescribed local remedies and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced It incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J.

The following is the memoranda attached to Judge Crosby's decision in the Kanabec County case involving the question of the constitutionality of the last proviso of section one, of chapter forty-nine, of the laws of 1897, so far as it relates to the dis- tribution of funds derived from the sale of state school lands: The only question presented in this proceeding is whether the last proviso ol: Sec. 1 of Chap. 49, of the laws of 1897, is in conflict with the constitution, so far as it relates to the distribution of the state school funds, derived from the sale of school lands. That proviso reads as follows:Pro- vided further, that no district shall re- ceive from the apportionment in any given year an amount greater than that appropriated by such district from its special tax and local one mill tax levied in that year, unless such district is levying in such year for support of school the maximi rate of taxation allowed by law. This proviso creates a condition pre- cendent. A district cannot receive its full proportion without appropriating an equal amount or more. Sec. 2 of Article 8 of the constitution provides that the principal of all funds arising from sales, or other disposition of lands or other property granted'or entrusted to this state in each township for educational pur- poses, shall forever be preserved in- violate and undiminished; and the income arising from the lease or sale of said school land shall be distributed to the different townphips throughout the state in proportion to the number of scholars in each township between the ages of five and twenty-one years, and shall be faith- fully applied to the specific object of the original grants or appropriations. This provision of the constitution is mandatory. It imposes no conditions. The law of 1897far asit does,it is does, and, so a clearly in conflict with the constitution. It is admitted that there are sixty-one scholars in the school district, and the question of the power of the legislature to prescribe what shall constitute a scholar does not arise. Nor is the question of the power of the legislature to impose a condition prece- dent to entitling a school district to share in the general school fund arising from the general one mill tax involved in this proceeding. It is claimed on the part of the re- spondent that Sec. 3 of Article 8 of the constitution which reads as follows: "The legislature shall make such pro- vision, by taxation or otherwise, as, with the income arising from the school fund, will secure a thorough and efficient system of public schools in each town- ship in the state," in some way modifies, or gives some legislative power in the construction of Sec. 2. I do not so regard it. It is a constitu- tional mandate in addition to the man- date contained in Sec. 2. The legislature has obeyed it by pro- viding for what is called the general one mill school tax, over the distribution of which the legislature has. as it seems to me, supreme control. The legislature provides the bounty re- quired of it, and has the power to dis- pense that bounty, as it wills, freed from any constitutional restrictions, so far as I have been able to discover. It is further urged that a legislative construction has been given to Sec. 2 and that it should control the courts. I dissent from this view, which, if adopted, would relieve the constitution of any obligatory force, and would leave the construction of that instrument open to the mercy and whims of legislatures, which, perhaps. are always changeable, Legislative construction of a constitu- tion. long acquiesced in, should be given weight by the courts, but should be con- sidered by them as advisory only. The school fund distributed through the state auditor's office is derived from two sources. One, the income from the sale of school lands; the other from the general one mill tax. The state auditor's books show how much is derived from each fund. He can easily transmit to the county auditors what per cent of the whole amount dis- tributed comes from each fund. The county auditors will, with that in- formation, without difficulty, be able to distribute it in accordance with the con- stitution, the law, and this decision.

Brave Men Fall Victims to stomach, liver and kidney troubles as well as women, and all feel the results in loss of appetite, poisons in the blood, backache, nervousness, head- ache and tired, listless, run-down feeling. But there's no need to feel like that. Listen to J. W. Gardner, Idaville, Ind.

No oth- er resident of Tiger Tail could have distracted them to that de- gree. Tiger Tail is Tennessee ter- riory, yet abuts upon Kentucky. It is not, of course, down on any maps, not even the local ones. To be exact, its metes and bounds are known accurate- ly only by outland folk, who, say those of Tiger Tail, live in such 111 condi- tioned regions as Possum hollow, Wildcat, Texas and the Cooney range. Still the Tiger Tailers do not quite deny that Tiger Tail exists. They are nebulous only as to its whereabouts. "Howdy, squire? Waut to play? Take my hand," Jim Wilson, the store- keeper, said, making as if to rise from the table. The other three players laughed uproariously. "He's a beauty boy; that's what Jimmy is," one of them said. "He's just nine under the table, squire. Of course he wants to be polite." The squire laughed. "I'll play and pay if I lose out, Jimmy," he said, "but ef I beat them rascals over thar you -must do me a little small favor." "Anything you say, squire," Jim said, handing over the cards. The squire chuckled, but masked it with a scowl as he answered: "Better not promise too brash, son. What I want is for you to thrash Tennessee. Think you can do It?" "Why, that is sorter jubous," Jim responded. The others let fall their cards, looking significantly one at the other. Tom Turner, the squire's part- ner in the game, whistled and said, still pursing his lips: "So I suppose Tennessee's mind is set on Milam's gal." The squire nodded. "And mine as set that he shan't have her. I reckoned I'd find that gentleman here and come just a -purpose to give him the word with the bark on It." "I always said that boy'd give you trouble ever sence you went and give him that jography name," an oldish man, who had just come in, said shrilly. The squire looked at him and chuckled again. "It had to be jography —or 'rithmetic," he said. "Blame your skin, Bill Jordan, you know that as well as me. Seben brothers of us, all in one poor neighborhood, and the last one of us too lazy to move out, would put old man Solomon to his trumps for names. I didn't start as soon as the rest of you neither. Time I begun to raise a family you had dou- bled and tribbled on all the handy Scrlpcher names." "Don't you reckon this is sorter a judgment on you, squire? Remember how many runaway couples you've married"— another of the cinch play- ers began. The squire silenced him with a look. "Do you think I'm goin to belittle my office by not doin what I was 'lected to dor' he asked severely. "I have mar- ried runaways—oh, yes, twenty-seben couple—but every last one of 'em come from Kentucky. L'p thar they have to have written consents from the par-, ents before they can git a license. Is it my fault that I happen to live on the straight road from Kentucky to Bellsboro? Of course mine's a handy place to them young folks. All they got to do is to have the license waitin "I WANT A BIG PARTY CHRISTMAS EVE," for 'em, and they're married hard and fast, as well as a preacher could do it, ef I do say it myself, time they've been half an hour on Tennessee dirt." "S'posln your Tennessee should run away"—.the squire's brother began. "Where'd he run to?" the squire in- terrupted pointedly. "I hear old man Milam's about as shy as I am over the match. That's one thing makes me so mad. Thinkin of that old kildee, mighty nigh as mean as a horse thief— he is darin to object to his gal's mar- ryin a Jordan." "I always told you thar was stn in quarter racin. You and old man Milam quarreled over it 20 years back," Wil- liam Jordan said meditatively. The squire snorted a bit "He bet me $10 on that skewbald of his, and then claimed he'd won because my i saddle turned," he said. "That shows the pizen meanness of the breed." I "Well. Betty can't help that. She's' eood lookin and a mighty fine house- keeper," Jim Wilson said soothingly. "You couldn't have a better, squire. I can't hardly blame Tennessee. A big house is mighty lonesome with no wo- man in it. I'll bet money you won't blame him, neither, time she's been thar a year." "I'll bet the house and farm she don't ever come thar, not while my head is hot," the squire roared. "I'll take the bet. she'll come _and for your askin," avoice said from the door. Tennessee stood there laugh- ing heartily. He was a big fellow, as tall and well muscled as his father was slight and withered, yet the pair were curiously alike. They had the same obstinate chins, the same bright dark eyes, exactly the same level look. Tennessee made a dash at his father, caught him under the arms and drew him to his feet, saying as the squire fumed and writhed In his hold: "Pa, you ain't nigh as mad as you think. Anyway, le's stop quarrelin till after Christmas. It's jest two weeks off. "TO TAKE AND KEEP EACH OTHER FOR BET- TER OR WORSE." I want a big party Christmas eve. You've always promised me I might have it when I come 21." "So I have, but you don't deserve it, you young rascal," the squire said. "Promise me what I ask, and you may have a party as long as Christmas, dance and frolic the whole week—yes, till old Christmas if you want to." "You mean about marryin Betty?" Tennessee asked airily. "I'm just bound to do that, Marse Squire, but I'll promise this—I won't never do it unless you are thar to see and willin it should be done." "Hurrah! You're givin yourself a long time to wait, sir," the squire said eagerly, then beginning to cut a pigeon wing in his joy. "Now get about your party, sir. We'll make it a rouser, the biggest thing that ever come off in Ti- ger Tail." • • • i • • • Notwithstanding Christmas eve fell rainy and dark as the proverbial stack of black cats, everybody came to Ten- nessee's party. The Jordan house was big and square, with tall outside chim- neys and a makeshift gravel drive leading in semlcircularly from the two gates upon the big road a hundred yards away. For the party both gates were set open. Everybody rode or drove, even the nearest neighbors. Peo- ple began coming at dark and kept coming until 9 o'clock. Even before supper playing began with great spirit. There was a room given up to it indeed, since not a few of the company had religious scruples against even a reel. By and by, when the tables were cleared, there would be dancing. Tennessee was the life of every- thing. His father eyed him as he went about smiling, shaking hands, setting every one at lively ease, seeing to ev- erything and seeming to make friendly service a pleasure, with ever growing pride. There were no hostesses. "We can't ask one of our kin women to help without madding all the rest," the squire bad said to Tennessee. Still the supper was miraculous. Black Peggy rose to the opportunity of her life. "You g'wah 'way, Marse Squire. Leabe dis yere ter me and Tennessee," she had said. The result was a table shaped like the letter Z, draped In white, garlanded with evergreens, lighted with many candles and showing all down the mid- dle a row of big iced cakes, brave in holly and cut paper trimmings. Be- sides ail that pile of cut cake, at least a dozen sorts, there were nuts, candies, fruit in pyramids, big bowls of wine jelly, other bowls of ambrosia, and all merely as supplement to hot oys- ters, roast turkey, roast pig, steaming coffee and beaten biscuit. "Say, squire, no wonder you ain't keen after a housekeeper," Tom Tur- ner said as be took Ms third help of roast pig. Jim Wilson at his elbow nudged him sharply, saying in a stage whisper, "Ain't you got sense enough to know squire and Tennessee ain't namin that subject no more until New Year's?' "I oughter 'a' knowed. I never thought," Tom said. The squire had walked away with- out answering. Jim looked after him and said: "It's a plumb shame he won't be riconciled to Betty Milani, but Worse I believe for him and Tennes- See to git at cross and pile. They're so mighty close to one 'pother, them two. Wherever you see or hear the one you're mighty apt to see and hear the other." "Bound to be that a -way. Tennes- see's all the child his pa has got," Tom said. "But hark! What's that? Some fellow must be shootin his Christmas guns early." "Them ain't Christmas guns. They're too close together," the squire said, walking to a window, open in spite of the rain. "Besides, they ain't comin right. They sound up towards Ken- tucky." "I bet it's a runaway couple," Jim Wilson cried, dashing out upon the piazza, with the crowd pellmell at his heels. "I hear horses and wheels and folks hollerin!" he shouted back over his shoulder as he darted down the steps. Tennessee was close behind him, so close that the darkness swal- lowed them at the same instant All the rest could hear now out upon the big road a confused and strengthening medley—shouts, cries, curses, gallop- ing hoofs, whirring wheels, sharply punctuated now and again by a drop- ping shot. "Runaways! They're comin in! Hear 'em! 'They're through the gate: Here,. squire! Get on the bottom step, wltb your lantern ready! You'll have to do a quick job this time. surer' Tom Tur- ner cried, shouldering the people aside and setting the little squire in the forefront of them. He was scarcely steady upon his feet when a horseman upon a panting and foam covered beast dashed into the clair obscure of the lantern light, crying out: "Fetch the squire! Quickl- He knows me—George Perdue! Here's the license, squire. Fellow 1 know—stole his gal—old man's right behind—got a Winchester and the sheriff. Tie 'em quick as you can. Thar ain't a minute to lose. It's all right, I tell you! Thar they come— that couple in the buggy ahead!" The squire seemed to swell, to stand an inch taller. He could hear above the labored panting of the two horses which drew the buggy the noise of oth- er horses coming as furiously, cries and curses, too, and the crack of a rifle, the sharp report heralded by a lurid glancing glare. Steadying himself on Tom Turner's shoulder, he said in his loudest, most official voice to the pair hidden in the buggy's cavernous re- cess: "Do you and each of you solemnly agree and covenant before Almighty God and these witnesses to take and keep each other for better or for worse?" "We do," came in smothered tones from the eloping pair. "Then, by virtue of the authority in me vested, I pronounce you man and wife!" the squire shouted, making a dart at the buggy and flinging back the robe. "Come in, come in, you young people," he said. "Leave me to talk to the old man." "You'll have to, pa. It's you he's mostly mad with," Tennessee said, springing out and handing down his bride, a tall, pretty girl, mud splashed, disheveled and smiling through her tears. The squire, after one long, gasping stare, was fully himself. "It Is my custom and privilege to—ahem!—kiss the bride in such cases," he said, press- ing his lips to her forehead; then to his son. "Take her inside, young man. I don't forget you won the farm in winnin her." "No, you don't take her Inside," some one cried from ten yards down the drive a second after. Old Man 'Milani had flung himself off his horse and was trying to lay hands upon his daughter. Squire Jordan stepped in front of the angry man. "I reckon our old grudge is settled for us, Henry," he saki, hold- ing but his hand. "Say, ain't you ridin tonight some of that same old skewbald stock?" Old Man Milam nodded. He could not trust himself to speak. "And it was beat in this runaway race by my same Btackhawk blood. I oughter 'a' known that was Ten- nessee's span," the squire went on judicially; then, with a whimsical chuckle, "Henry, don't it strike you we've been a couple of fools?" "It does look sorter that way," Ohl Man Milam s-' , and then and there the pair shook hands, and a feud ended. Knew What He Wanted, The Amiable Plutocrat—But riches do not bring happiness.

DECEMBER 30. 1899. h01'Serf's PLOW. • • * An Invention Which Hay Drive O Ibe Nohte Animal From • �c the Farm. Jacob J. A. Morath of Clayton, St. Louis county, Mo., has invented. an au- tomobile plow. It is in effect a traction engine, but it is more. A traction en- gine must have level ground to move' on. It must be hauled up a grade. The Morath plow can not only ascend a grade without trouble, but it can plow up the side of a hill. This fact has been demonstrated on the soil of St. Louis county, says The Post -Dispatch. Therein lies its superiority over every- thing in the line of a steam plow. Therein lies its claim to success. The feat is made possible by the in- vention of a peculiar form of what may be called an auxiliary wheel, which, by a spiral or screw arrange- ment, digs into, the ground and at the same time exerts a lifting force, which drags the whole machine forward and upward. This invention cost Mr. Morath 1T years of time. The construction of the plow itself seemed simple enough and gave him but little trouble. How to obtain a driving force that would impel the machine over any kind of rough ground or up a hillside after the motive power was applied was the problem. For 15 years Mr. Morath thought and experimented at his leisure. Two years ago be tackled the problem in earnest. Day and night he sought a method of solving it. A thousand experiments be tried, and finally he lighted upon the device he has since employed. One of his sons stuck a spade in the ground and held it firm. Around this was thrown a rope running through a pulley and attached to a plow. While. I J ; ..n LV. • � • Tom---- ..�—.. - AUTOMOBILE PLOW. another son pulled on the rope Mr, Meech') observed the...effect .ef the ten- sion on the spade. He saw that, while there was a force which sunk the spade deeper into the ground, there was also a force exerted on the pulley. which tended to drag it forward. This force came from the end of the rope tieing pulled. This situation then presented itself: This force corresponded to the motive power of the machine he had in mind. If this force could be so utilized res to urge the machine forward, why could it not be made to give the_ wheels a firm hold on the ground, the missing climbing and plowing force he so de- sired, if the proper connection could be made? The device which he finally perfected is simple enough, but the mechanism is complicated. The forward and up- ward motion is obtained by means of certain chains and levers connecting with two sets of rotary bars to which are welded steel flanges of curious shape. When these bars are not in use, they can be raised so as to have no contact with the ground. When it is necessary to go over a piece of rough land or to climb a hill, they can be lowered by means of a lever. This sets in motion a set of machinery spe- cially devised, and instantly the , four sets of flanges, like the arms of a turbine wheel, commence to dig into the earth and to drag the plow for- ward, on the principle of Mr. Morath's experiment with the spade and rope. This device, the first one of the kind ever invented for such a purpose, is fully covered and protected by the terms of Mr. Morath's patent. "This agricultural machine is sim- ply a substitute for the farm horse,' says Mr. Morath. "It can be hitched to a barrow, a seeding machine, a cul- tivator, a roller, a harvesting machine or almost any farming implement used in the field. "Since the pulling power does not de- pend upon the weight of the machine, as in the case of a traction engine, the automobile plow can be built so small as to be of use for truck or garden farming. For the same reason it can be made big enough for use in a field where thousand of acres are to be plowed. "Owing to its peculiar construction, it will work as well on hilly land as on level. For this reaspn It is as well adapted to use on the hills of Missouri es on the prairie farms of Illinois and the west. No other invention can claim this advantage. "The plow attachment is so arranged that it can be raised when passing along a road or from field to field so as to prevent contact with the ground. It can also be raised to pass over a stump or other obstruction in a field. In fact, the, principle of the automobile plow is so simple and the machinery so strong that any intelligent man can handle it without difficulty. There is little dan- ger of breakage. All that the driver has to do is to take his seat on top of the plow, which is about as high as a wagon, see that the fuel is sufficient and that the heat is regulated and look out for dangerous obstructions. In go- ing up a hill all he has to do is to regu- late the machinery to place the auxilia- ry wheels in contact with the earth. The power behind the wheels does the rest." Shocks From Live Wires. "It is a singular fact," said an elec- trician of this city, "that the human body is capable of becoming more or less inured to shocks from live wires. I suppose the average scientist would scoot the idea, but what I say is borne out by everyday experience. The em- ployees of a big electric light works, for instance, are continually receiving shocks that wonld disable an ordinary man, but are apparently none the worse for the experience. "I remember some time ago a couple of young fellows came in contact acci- dentally witha live wire at a manufac- tory here in town, and both received exactly the same current. One of them was a helper around a dynamo and had met with mishaps of that sort before. He was knocked off his fent and mo- mentarily stunned, but was all right in less than two minutes. The other man, who was a stranger, fell over as if struck by lightning, and it was fully half an hour before he showed the least signs of returning consciousness. He was laid up for several days and, oddly enough, was mach the more powerful physically of the pair. "I have known several cases of prac- tically the same sort. The motormen on the street cars frequently 'get the current,' as they call it, especially in rainy weather, when wet wood becomes a conductor. They tell me they don't mind it ranch after the first few times." —New Orleans Times -Democrat. Throne That Was Never Called For. On the ece of the Franco-German war when the Emperor Louis Napoleon entered upon the conflict which ended so disastrously to himself and his coun- trymen, a couple of strangers appeared at a German town. They brought with them a large packing case, which on their arrival was carried to a hotel. Here the unknown visitors remained some time and eventually disappeared without paying their bill, which amounted to a considerable slim. The landlord, whose curiosity had of- ten been aroused with reference to the possible contents of the case, at last de- termined to open it and on doing so found a handsomely designed and rich- ly upholstered state chair. This was adorned with the French imperial arms, eagle and Lonis Napoleon's monogram, and beneath it was a musical box which played when the cushion was sat upon. It is supposed that the throne—for such it is believed to have been—in the event of success attending the French army was to have been nsed by the em- peror at Berlin after the capture of the German metropolis. Fate, however, spoiled the imperial plans, hence the sudden and precipitate flight of the cus- todians of the chair. The widow of the hotel keeper a few years later sent it to England, where it eventually found a purchaser.—Stray Stories. A Medical Prospector. "It isn't getting your diploma that's the worst of it," said a new fledged M. D. "It's where to hang out your shin- gle. A doctor's got to bear two things in mind in deciding that—he mustn't choose a place that already has physi- cians enough, and, above all, he must not settle in a healthy place—one of those towns, don't you know, where nobody dies except of old age. Of course a doctor doesn't want people to die— that's almost as bad as to have them never sick—but he does want them to be sick enough to keep him going. "Now, the way a friend of mine did was this : He took the train out through central New York, and he stopped off at pretty much every place he came to till he found what he wanted. It was a pretty place to look at, but it lay low along a river. He noticed as they ap- proached it lots of marsh lands, and he said to himself, 'There'll be malaria here anyhow and probably typhoid.' And, sure enough, though he's only been there three years, he already has a paying practice. "—New York Com- mercial Advertiser. Ear Piercing In China. Every Chinese woman has her ears pierced. In .fact, the custom is nearly as important as the binding of the feet. When the child is a year old, the oper- ation may be performed as soon as con- venient. It is considered quite an art. First two little tassels of red cotton are prepared, with a bine hed on each and a long end hanging loose. Then the child's ear is pinched till it is numb, when a needle is run through and the thread after it till the tassel hangs over the lobe, where it is secured. Of course the child often makes considerable ob- jection to the operation and then if there is a kitten anywhere near its ears are often pierced to encourage the hu- man victim. This accounts for the he- quence of cats with holes and elite in their ears in the Celestial empire. The Tragedian's Deft. "Yah I Yah !" yelled the boys In the gallery. "Wot ye doin on de stage?

The origin of diamonds, which for so long has been a debated question, ap- pears to be explained by a recent dis- covery near Kimberley. In both the Indian and the Brazilian diamond fields the gem occurs like a pebble in certain gravelly strata, but has not been traced back to any rock that gives any indication of its genesis. After the discovery of diamonds in the river sand of some South American rivers a peculiar material of a brown- ish buff color, which turned to a dark bluish tint, was found. It became dark- er as the miners dug down. The dia- monds lay in this material, together with several other materials, such as garnets, iron ores, augite, olivine, etc. Excavations, begun systematically, were eventually carried on on such a large scale that near Kimberley 'they reached a depth of more than 1,400 feet. Here the rock Is about as hard as ordinary limestone. The blue ground is found only in limited areas. The rocks around are of dark shades, banded with hard sandstone, in which sheets or dikes of basalt or some material which was once Mn a molten condition are occasionally found. The blue ground fills a sort of shaft of colossal size in these other rocks and is itself cut up by similar dikes. The opinions of geologists differ as to whether the gems are produced where they now lie or have been formed of some volcanic explosions. Experts now tend to the belief that the blue ground in which diamonds were found is not the true birthplace. The bowlders are often watermarked and may have rested for ages in an ancient gravel at the very bottom of sedentary rocks of the dis- trict. In course of time volcanic explo- sions shattered the rocky floor in which the diamonds were imbedded, of which the bowlders were only samples, and dispersed it, together with the overly- ing materials. It is believed that this is the true explanation of the forma- tion of the diamond bearing blue ground. Migration of Birds. A scientific journal deplores the lack of trustworthy data explanatory of the migration of birds. Naturalists have always differed on this subject, and the reason why birds migrate is still a mystery. It is undoubtedly a mat- ter of instinct and also of example from older to younger birds. In many cases the setting in of au early or late winter may be foretold by the early or late migration of birds from north to south. Some extraordinary stories are told of things done by birds in carry- ing out this migratory instinct. It has been calculated that the Virginia plo- ver flies at a height of two miles and at a speed of 225 miles au hour. It is re- corded that a Wilsof's blackcap war- bler arrived at a certain bush in the north in three successive years at 1:30 p. m. of the same day. One corre- spondent considers that the migration is fully accounted for by the suscepti- bility of the birds to temperature in- fluence; that they seek in winter a warmer and In summer a cooler air, so as to avod being subjected to great climatic vicissitudes. But most nat- uralists hold that the migrations are largely a matter of the search after food. They leave a given region be- cause a specific food is exhausted, and they fly to another specific region be- cause the experiences of the tribe as a whole have shown that desirable food can be found there. It is not the winds that drive them nor the temperature that tempts them, but sheer hunger forces them from one place to another. The only weak point about this theory is that often the birds disappear with- out any apparent reasons, when food conditions are seemingly perfect. The matter is still as great a puzzle to the cleverest ornithologist as to any one else. Talking In the Clouds. Experiments are being made in Vien- na, says Cosmos, under the direction of Professor Tume, aided by officers of the garrison, on communication be- tween balloons by wireless telegraphy, and they have met with some success. A captive balloon takes the place of the tall mast used by Marconi, and a copper wire is stretched between it and the earth, where the transmitting apparatus is placed. The second bal- loon, which ascends freely, carries the receiving instrument and is furnished with a wire 60 feet long, hanging downward from the basket. This bal- loon receives messages very well up to a distance of about ten kilometers (six miles) and at a height of 1,600 meters (about one mile). Unfortunately this is but half of the problem, for It has been found impossible at present to estab- lish a transmitting station in a free balloon, both on account of the weight of the necessary apparatus and be- cause of the danger of discharges from a powerful condenser so near the in- flammable gas of the balloon. Repairing Trolley Wires. Each road has two or three trouble wagons," one at each car shed. The horses are trained like those of the fire department. The crews are always in readiness. Along the line, at intervals of a few blocks, are s'e'al boxes. When there is trouble a.'etlg the line, an alarm is turned in, and the wagon, managed by skilled electricians and wire repairers, hastens to the scene. There are 24 of these wagons, manned by nearly 100 men.—St. Louis Post- bispatch.

One :..,y a famous steeple climber was goin;_,,to scale the spire of the cathedral to repair the cross that topped the spire2 ,0 feet above the side- walk. walk. The afternoon he first scaled the spire thousands of people watched him breathlessly as he !Jowly made his way up the outside of the steeple. Of course he was interviewed, and he said boast- ingly that the task was so easy that he could just as well carry a man up on his back. That noon Hearn said timidly to his city editor that lie- had read of the ateeple climber's offer and would be glad to ascend the spire on his back. The editor tried to point out to Hearn the peril of the Cling, hut he would not listen. Finall' the steeple climber and Hearn arranged their end of the feat. At the appointee! time Hearn mount- ed the steeple climber's shoulders, and the dizzy journey leogan. Tens of thou- sands of people watched the foolhardy pair. At last the cross was reached, and Hearn left his perch on the climber's shoulders. The mob in the streets be - love cheered, and Cell the two men re - Witted to the ground safely. Hearn went back to the office and sat down and wrote twe columns of a story describing his sensations, and the glo- ries of the view he had obtained from the steeple top. .- nch a glowing de- scription of a cite seen from a great height has never been read before or since. The most interesting thing about it was the fact tear Hearn was so near sighted he could not see five feet beyond the tip of his nese.—San Francisco Argonaut. The Sorr.:Evful Tree. There is a tree it Persia to which the name "the sorrowful tree" is given. Perhaps because it blossoms only in the evening. When the first 'star appears in the heavens the first buds of the sorrowful tree opens, and as the shades of night advance and the eters thickly 'stud the sky the bods continue gradually open- ing until the whole tree looks like one immense white flower. On the approach of dawn, when the brilliancy of the stars gradually fades in the light of day, the sorrowful tree closes its flow- ers, and ere the sau is fully risen not a single blossom is visible. A sheet of Sower dust as white as snow covers the ground around the foot of the tree, which seems blighted and withered dur- ing the day, while, however, it is ac- tively rrPnart f -Tette next nocturnal festival. The fragrance of the blossoms is like that of the evening primrose. If the tree is cut dew close to the roots, a new plant shoots up and attains maturity in an incredibly short time. In the vicinity of this singular tree there usually grows another, which is almost an exact counterpart of the sor- rowful tree, but lees beautiful, and, strange to say, it blooms only in the daytime.—St. Louis Globe -Democrat. A Bride With Some Good Points. Some years ago in an agricultural district there lived a farmer who want- ed to sell one of his cows. There was not at that time a weekly paper in which he could advertise, so he resolved to follow a local cusum and ask the vicar of the parish wh n giving out his notices at church to advertise the cow. "Yes, farmer," said the vicar, "I should be willing to oblige you, but yon don't attend my church." Presently, however, they struck a bargain that the vicar should advertise the cow, and the man in return prom- ised to go to church. Now, unfortunately the man was deaf, and on the Sunday following when the vicar gave out the banns of mar- riage between Joseph So-and-so, bach- elor, and Sarah So-and-so, spinster, the farmer took it for granted that the vicar was giving out particulars of his cow and shouted out: "Yon might as well say while yon are about it that she is a most gentle creature and entirely free from vice." —Stray Stories. Wanted a Haunted House. The following curious letter was re- cently received by a house renting agency in London: "Have yon a reputed haunted house on your books? I am not afraid of ghosts. I do not as a matter of course believe in their existence, and I am willing to live in a house for a long or short term by arrangement. Of course, rent free. Should there be no ghost, then, if yon wish it, I shall be willing to testify on oath to the fact. But should I see an apparition I will keep the matter secret and only acquaint you with the circumstances. I will pledge myself not to pander to local gossip. I have a small income on which I can subsist. My sole object in thus applying to you is to be allowed to live in a place in which I do not need to pay any rent."

A mother, indignant to find her lit- tle son very low in his class at school, exclaimed wrathfully: "I am out of all patience with yon, Jack!

Jack hesitated for a moment, and then, looking his mother squarely in the face, he said innocently: "You forget that Jones has very clever parents 1"—Tit-Bits.

Dawes of Pittsfield, Mass., successor of Charles Sumner in the senate, told the following story: "When I was a judge in Pittsfield, Morrissey and Yankee Sullivan fought a prize fight at a neighboring place called Boston Corners. Sullivan was arrested and fined $1,000. He handed over the money and went his way. A day or two later, while I was sitting on the bench, a fine looking man entered the courtroom and sent a letter up to me. It was from a friend of mine rte troducing John Morrissey. He, too. was fined $1,000 and said to me that he would send me his check on his re- turn to New York. "Well, I didn't know what might happen if he was let go on that under- standing, but I said to Morrissey that any arrangement for settlement which he made with the sheriff would be sat- isfactory. The sheriff, feeling as 1 did, insisted upon having the fine paid in cash, and since Morrissey didn't happen to have that much cash with him the sheriff locked him up until the amount was sent on from New York. "I fancied that 'Morrissey felt be owed me a grudge because of this in- cident. Years afterward in Washing- ton a number of new congressmen were brought up to be introduced to me. Among them was Morrissey. When he came forward, he smiled and said, 'Mr. Dawes, I believe we have met before.' " She "Sassed Her." Some visitors to East Gloucester paid a special call upon the woman said to be the original of Mrs. Eliza- beth Stuart Phelps Ward's famous story, "A Madonna of the Tubs." Mrs. Phelps Ward's summer home, be It known, is in East Gloucester. The visitors found a typical New England- er with a self evident capacity for tak- ing care of herself. "So you are the Madonna of the Tubs?" said the visitors. "1 am," said the New Englander. "And Mrs. Phelps Ward wrote a beautiful story about you?" "She did." "Have you ever met Mrs. Ward?" "1 have. After she wrote that story she came round here one day and hunt- ed me up. She said as how she wanted to see me for herself." "How interesting!" murmured the visitors. "And what did you do?" "Do?" repeated the Madonna of the Tubs. "What did I do? 1 sassed her well for wrltin such a story as that about me. Such a pack of lips 1 never read. Why, there wasn't one-half of it true. And she had the face to come and see me afterward! Oh, I sassed her well, 1 did!"—New York Sun. Grotesque Spelling.

"Stroll in?" said Sir John in a rising tone. "Then 1 presume you do not leave till late?" "Well, i usually slip off about 2 o'clock." "Slip off at 2!" exclaimed the veter- an in his topmost note. "Pray, may 1 ask what department you belong to?" "Oh," said the stranger, "I come ev- ery Saturday to attend to the clocks." Sir John retreated for the first time in his life. A Little Too Hot. Little Janet, aged 4, noticed the oth- er day at dinner the rest of the family helping then dves liberally to the mustard. Nobody offering her any, she waited until something drew away the attention of the others, when she lifted the mustard spoon, liberally daubed a piece of bread with it and took a great bite. Her hand immedi- ately went up to her burned mouth; but, bravely suppressing an outcry, she put the bread away from her, remark- ing, "I think I'll wait till that jelly gets cold." His Nose For News. "Henry," whispered the maiden in some embarrassment as they stood in the hallway, where the young and handsome reporter was preparing to say good night, "it's dreadful of me, I know, but I've been eating onions." "Great Scott, Fannie!" he exclaimed. "You don't think that's a scoop on me, do you? I knew that as soon as I came in."—Chicago Tribune.

A British traveler in Africa, weary and exhausted, was received hospita- bly one evening in the kraal of a Hot- tentot prince. Early next morning he was about to write down the events of theprevious weeks p when he perceived, to his dismay, that the ink in bis trav- eling case was dried up. With a sigh of disappointment, he was packing up his writing materials when his eye fell on a glass vessel standing on a bamboo shelf, which, on closer inspection, proved to be a genuine ink pot nearly full to the brim. Delighted at the discovery, he sat down and worked away at his diary. Suddenly he was disturbed in his occu- pation by a young negress, who, sprinting toward him, snatched the ink pot from the table in passionate haste. Her agonizing screams soon attract- ed the other members of the family, and the unsuspecting stranger was soon made aware that he had commit- ted the heinous offense of laying sacri- legious hands on the carefully guarded provision of ink which the rich aunt of the monarch had bought from a Euro- pean trader as a toilet preparation for improving the complexion. The explorer was forthwith arrested and sentenced to death, and the edict would have been put into execution had not a British man-of-war arrived in the bay. The captain, learning of his countryman's exploit, promptly intervened and appeased the irate roy- al house by a gift of half a pint of black ink. The Safest Part of a Train. A party of travelers In a train were talking over their traveling experience and the danger of accidents, and finally the question arose as to the safest part of the train. Failing to settle the ques- tion among themselves, they called on the guard, and one of them said to him: "Guard, we have been discussing the matter of the safest part of the train and want to know your opinion." "Want to know the safest part, eh?" replied the guard. "Yes, that's it." "Well," continued the guard, "I've been on the line for 15 years and have been turned over embankments, 'bust- ed' up in tunnels, dumped off of bridges, telescoped in collisions, blown off the line by cyclones, run into open switches and had other pleasant inci- dental divertisements of a kindred na- ture, and I should say, gentlemen, that the safest part of the train was that part which happened to be in the works for repairs at the time of the accident."—London Telegraph. He Dodged the Question. The story is told in The Church Re- view of a certain vicar pear Birming- ham who had an amusing passage at arms with his diocesan. It seems that he had been in the habit of issuing a private manual of devotions in the church without the bishop's consent. On the front cover, be it said, was the notice, in bold type: "Not to be taken away. The property of the vicar." By some means or another a copy of the little book found its way to the palace, and a few days after the vicar received a somewhat tartly worded communication from the diocesan, asking when his lordship had given permission for the use of the manual. "My dear lord bishop," wrote the vicar, "the same week that your lord- ship received the manual, which, on looking at the cover, you will see Is my property, my vestry clock also dis- appeared. If you will kindly send me the name of the person who stole my manual it might4ead to the apprehen- sion of the person who stole my vestry clock." A gormless Country. In spite of British rule, India is still virtually a soapless country. Through- out the villages of Hindustan soap is indeed regarded as a natural curiosity, and it is rarely, if ever) kept in stock by the native shopkeeper. In the towns it is now sold to a certain ex- tent, but how small this is may be gathered from the fact that the total yearly consumption of soap in India is about 100,000 hundredweight—that is to say, every 2,500 persons use on an average only 112 pounds of soap among them, or, in other words, con- siderably less than an ounce is the average consumption a person. Took It to Herself. Stubb—I made an awful blunder last night. Penn—What was it? Stubb—Why, Tommy called me about midnight and asked what the noise was down stairs. I told him it was the old cat. Penn—Was it? Stubb—No; 1t was my wife looking for water. It took me until morning trying to convince her that I was allud- ing to the old cat with black fur and nine lives.—Chicago News. Titles In Spain. In Spain you can become a nobleman by marrying a duchess, a marchioness or a countess. The man who marries a lady bearing one of those designations immediately becomes invested with the same rank. You may obtain nobility without money by these means, it is true, but, generally speaking, you will find it a hard task to secure a titled wife unless you are well provided with cash. Letters In Spain. A German correspondent in Spain writes that unless letters to or from that country are registered not one in five reaches its destination, and that unless the postmen, who have no sal ary, get at least a cent for each letter delivered by them they boycott thou who refuse to pay and keep their let. ters. • Food Prepared With "Calumet^ iS Free from Rochelle Salta.

The request was made to a waiter behind the marble top lunch counter of a well known restaurant in the cen- tral part of the city. "All right, sir," was the waiter's re- ply. "I will just as soon as you put your glass down." The man looked first at the empty glass he held in his hand and then at the waiter. Then his choler began to rise at_what he considered an unwar- ranted piece of impertinence. The waiter evidently saw the outbrust of wrath that was coming. "No offense meant, sir," he hastily explained. "You see, it's just this way: The first thing a waiter learns, and he learns it by dearly bought ex- perience, too, is never to take a glass from another person's hand. Why? Because if he does the chances are about even that the glass will fall and be smashed in the transfer. This is particularly true if the top of the ta- ble or counter happens to be of mar- ble, as this one is. You probably un- derstand that when a waiter breaks anything in a hotel or restaurant. he has to pay for It, and you probably now understand why it was that I would fill your glass as soon as you put it down so that I could pick it up my- self."—Philadelphia Inquirer. He Wasn't Joking. "I had four days' growth of beard on my face when I struck a little town in northern Michigan," said the civil engineer. "I found a little coop of a barber shop near the depot, and I en- tered it to discover the barber sitting on a bench with his head in his hands. As he roused up I told him to get to work on me, but after looking the over he replied: "'If I shave you, you'll have to take the chances.' " `What chances? I asked.- " 'Well, sked-"'Well, I've been on a drunk for the last week and am just on the point of seeing rats. I may get through with it all right, and I may cut your head off.' "The man had a wild look and was all a -tremble," continued the engineer. "and, though he smiled as he talked, I saw that he wasn't•joking. I went away without getting shaved and for the next two hours was busy making purchases. As I returned to the depot I looked in on the barber to see how he got along and found him hanging dead. Just what would have happened had he started to shave me I don't know, but I've always felt much obliged to the wan for putting the case as plain- ly as he did."-13altiulore Herald. Tried It With Kittens. A little lady of 5 who dwells in Park Ridge has an ardent sympathy for su- perfluous kittens --that is, kittens which have to be drowned. Last week she discovered six wee bails of fur in the woodshed, and instantly the burnin,, question was, "What shall we do with them?" Her mother and father advocated the usual method of keeping one for Katherine and drowning the others. 'gut little Katherine determined to thwart their plans. She had heard a story how a little baby was left in a basket on a doorstep and how, with the light of dawn, the kind old couple took In the little foundling and reared it as their own child. Katherine found in the cellar five lit- tle fruit baskets. Into each of these she put a kitten, and then, waiting un- til her mamma had lain Lown for her afternoon nap, she laid a basket on the doorstep of each of five houses whose owners she regarded as charita- ble.—Chicago News. The Advantage of One Eye. During the Spanish-American war a certain old colonel who had lost an eye at the battle of Gettysburg was very indignant because he was put aside as physically incapacitated when he ap- plied for admission to one of the New York volunteer regiments. Filled with wrath and chagrin, the colonel journeyed to Washington, bent on having a personal interview with the president. He succeeded In gain- ing an audience, and the president. after listening to his plea, said kindly: "But, my good Colonel J., you have only one eyel" "Just so, sir," was the promflt re- joinder, "but can't you see the great advantage of my having only one eye? When 1 aim my gun, I shan't have to close the other!" He fought at Santiago. The Dean In His Nightshirt. Hugh Pearson always spoke of Dean Stanley as the most absent minded man in the world. He was driving once with him into Palmero. He com- plained of feeling cold, and as Stanley had his traveling bag with him he ad- vised him to put something extra on. He did so, and both resumed their pa- pers. A loud Laugh from some boys suddenly roused Pearson to the realiza- tion that Stanley was driving through the streets in his nightshirt, which he had put on over his coat in pure ab- aence of mind. - ip- THE GAZETTE.

Sweets to the Sweet. - When the insane hospital board ad- journed its special meeting a few days ago the talk seemed to indicate that T. C. Hodgson, of Elbow Lake, would be chosen aa the superintend- ent of the new asylum for the chronic insane now in construction at Hast- ings. Later advices, however, indi- cate that when the board meets again, which will be within a short time, the choice of the board will be J. A. Jelly, of Hastings. The chief ob- jection which is being urged against Mr. Hodgson is that it is desired to select soine one whose wife can act as matron of the institution, and the talk seems to be centralizing in favor of Mr. Jelly. One objection that has • been urged against Mr. Jelly is that he has been an offensive partisan, and was one of the most active work- ers in the cause of Eustis in Dakota County in 189S, besides being on Heatwole's congressional committee. TheHastings people who bore the brunt of the fight for the hospital bill, how- ever, seem disposed to insist on their right to dictate the nomination, and it is contended by them that the ap- pointment should be made on a busi- ness basis, without regard to either activity or inactivity, in a political way, on the part of the candidate for the place. To this proposition the democrats seem willing to assent, with the modification, however, that when as good a man can be found in the democratic or people's party fold he ought to be given the preference over a republican, for the promotion of the party cause. John Kane has been mentioned as a democrat who would make an excellent superintend- ent for the Hastings asylum, and it is possible that he will be chosen, rather than Jelly, when the time comes.— St. Paul Globe; ROth.

The withdrawal of Judge Collins from a contest in which he never con, sented to enter tends to clear up the gubernatorial complications. Capt. Van Sant is now 1e only avowed candidate in the ifeld. But there will be others. Even his own central forces are not willing that he should be governor quite so easily as all that. He might develop too much personal independence. That is what killed Eustis. There will be others. Gen. Clapp and R. G. Evans have both been prominently mentioned, and have many friends. But they, too, are men of strong convictions, not easily handled. They are both resi- dents of the Twin Cities. And it is a singular circumstance that those underground forces which employ sectional prejudice in politics with such telling effect always work both the Twin Cities and the country against a Twin City candidate. In view of these uncertainties, made the more uncertain by the harmonious relations now existing between cer- tain republican and populist depart- ments, backed up as they are by some of the largest interests in the state, good politics would seem to point out the necessity of causing an early ex- plosion -of the submarine and subter- ranean mines and torpedoes which de- stroyed Mr. Eustis last fall or else steer clear from them altogether. If the party should deem it advisable to steer clear from Twin City prejudices then two names present themselves for first consideration, S. R. Van Sant and J. P. Heatwole. There is much in recent political developments that points to Mr. Heatwole as a man of superior fitness to _ meet the re- quirements of the present situation. With the exception of Messrs. Clapp and Evans, whose only handicap is the sectional prejudice, there is not an available candidate of wider or more successful experience than Mr. Heatwole. Of our seven representa- tives in congress—and the state nev- er had a delegation which achieved so much distinction—he is the only one recognized in the organization of the house with a chairmanship. Al- though a man of strong individuality, he has ever displayed that keen sense of. perception, soundness of judg- ment, adherence to principle, and loyalty to his friends so essential to success. His progress as a public man has never suffered a reverse. Drawn into a political career not of his own seeking, but in obedience to public necessity for the redemption of a district hopelessly democratic, his advance has been steadily for- ward without one backward step. Contrast with his the experience of •Capt. Van Sant as one upon whom the party can successfully be har- monized and the fitness of Mr. Heat- wole is but the more conspicuous. 1)utside of the Twin Cities there is not a man in the state more deserving of recognition, one who can conduct a more successful campaign, or one who would make a better governor when elected.—.ifidtcay News.

A SORRY CHRISTMAS. The Host Disastrous Fire in Hastings fo Years.—The Large Lumbering ant of M. C. Llbbey & Co. Wiped Out of Existence.—A Large Number of Hen Thrown Out of Employment. —Vermillion Street Sadly Scorched. —Loss Estimated at S120,000.—In. /Durance About 515,000. One of the most disastrous tires for many years visited this city early Monday morning, and in less than four hours nearly three blocks- of business houses were burned, together with a large portion of their contents.• The weather was bitter cold, with a strong northwest wind, and for some time a general conflagration seemed inevitable. Most of the loss outside of the mill and planing factory was caused by cinders, property over half a mile distant having to be carefully watched for the burning brands which came seething through the air as though hurled by some demouiac force. It was a sorry Christmas Day for Hastings. The loss is roughly estimated at upwards of'$120,000, with an insurapce of about $15,000, and the injury to our busiuess in- terests is far reaching in its present aud future aspects. The fire originated in the sawmill discovered shortly before two a. m. it was under full headway. From there it quickly spread to the barn, lumber piles, office, planing factory, warehouses, etc., and east to St. John's Hotel and saloon of Kleis Grub, where it was checked by the Emerson brick warehouse. Crossing Second Street the large warehouses filled with hardwood lumber, build- ing paper, etc., added additional fuel to the flames, taking the whole of the block to the east and south, the only building remaining being Theodore Schaal's on the alley, in a badly damaged -condition. In the rear of the warehouses was the dwelling occupied by Matt Reuter, which shared the general fate. The remaining half of this block escaped as by a miracle, but the next one on Yermilliorr Street was burned over up to the brick shops of G. W. Morse, corner of Fourth. The large barn of W. R. Mather was set on fire by cinders, which soon communicated to adjoining buildings, gaining such headway that the department was entirely. unable to save them. Good work was done on Joseph's Cava- naugh's baru and the sheds of the St. Croix Lumber Company. pr there is no knowing how far the flames would have reached in that wooden district. The towers of the court- house were on fire a number of times, but a few of our citizens rallied with buckets and made a victorious fight against the elements. The roof of the Church of the Guardian Angels and their parochial school building received a fiery visitation, which a little water soou extinguished. At an early hour Mayor Busch telegraphed to St. Paul for assistance, two steamers reaching here about five o'clock in charge of Capt. -William McArthur and Capt. Albert Martin, with sixteen men to handle them. The fire was then under control, with the help of the reinforcement from the electric light plant, but good ser- vice *as rendered in playing upon the smouldering embers until two p. m.

Our government, at the suggestion of the Geographical society of Phila- delphia and With the co-operation of the whaling fleet, w111 make experi- ments this year with a view to de- termining the currents in the Arctic oceau north of America. Fifty casks designed for the purpose, says the New York Sun, are being sent up to Bering strait to be set afloat by the whalers in various parts of the Arctic ocean. Bach of these casks will con- tain a reed of the time when and place where It le thrown overboard, and It is hoped later that a considers ble number of them may be picked up byother vessels, and thus It will be learned in what directions they are carried by the currents. It is not likely that any of these casks will be carried clear across from Bering steait to the Atlantic ocean, for the intricate channels among the is- lands and the ice masses would prob- ably prevent such a drift. But it is probable that the prevailing current across the American Arctic ocean is from west to east. Pretty good proof of this fact was furnished by an aban- doned ship of one of the Franklin search expeditions, which drifted from the central regions north of this con- tinent east to Greenland waters and south into the Atlantic. The currents, however, of the western part of this Arctic domain are little understood, and perhaps the floating casks will throw more light upon them. Of course it was known long ago that the northwest passage for which mariners had sought for centuries real- ly exists. air John Franklin, on the expedition that cost the life of every man In his party, nearly completed the passage, for, advancing from the east, he came within 90 miles of the point reached by vessels from Bering sea, and 4n 1850 MoCitire, who entered the Arctic ocean through Bering strait, Was able to advance from the west till be reached the northeast extremity o Banks Land and overlooked the ws- terways that Parry, advancing from the east, had navigated in 1819. It was thus conclusively shown that there is continuous water communica- tion throughout the sea north of Amer- ica, and McClure received from the British parliament the sum of $50,- 000, which it had voted to give to the discoverer of the northwest passage. Cycle Factories as Arsenals. The United States navy department is laying in extensive new stocks of naval ordnance, and the bids which are being opened from day to day show that one of the effects of the recent war has been to build up a large num- ber of small factories capable of pro- ducing war supplies. Factories hereto- fore engaged in making bicycles, riv- ets, castings and tubings learned while the war was in progress that the mak- ing of war material was profitable em- ployment. By slightly adding to their plants they are able to make shells, projectiles, etc., and they are now among the regular bidders for supplies; of naval ordnance. A cycle company, a rivet and screw company and several tubing factories were among those whose bids for several thousand shrap- nel and shell, from 4 inch to 12 inch, were opened by the navy department recently. The result of this general competition is to considerably reduce the prices of war supplies and at the same time to give the government the benefit of very extensive facilities in time of emergency.—Denver Republic- an. Mosquitoes In England. English people will tell you that in their happy isle there are no such things as mosquitoes. One gets pretty well used to this kind of talk, but in this particular instance the boast holds good, or, rather, did hold good until the last few years. It is not alone dollars that the summer tourist has brought to London. Mosquitoes have been im- ported. and they have distressed the British more than the American vis- itors. Probably the name is a potent one to conjure with, and some idea of what terrible things are expected of mosquitoes may be learned from this simple tale of the north country: Some miners in remote workings of a York- shire colliery reported to the superin- tendent that they had been much an- noyed by the bites of mosquitoes, He went down to see about it and found a large and energetic colony of yellow banded wasps—"yaller jackets," if you like that better.—Ainsiee's Magazine. Drought In Nevr South Wales. The drought of the last few years has cost New South Wales an enormous amount of money. The docks of the colony have shrunken from 8%000,000 to 48,000,000, repreeenting a loss of 20.- 000,000 sheep. If to this is added the loss of the natural increase, the shrink- age amounts to 60,000,000 sheep— enough, that is, to equip a eonsiderable aired colony. In addition to this there has been a loss of nearly 800,000 horses and 150,000 cattle. That the colony has been able to survive these terrific losses is a striking proof of en- ergy and resource. Translated into money, the colony has suffered a joss, due to mere inadequate rainfall, of from 160,000,000 to $100,000,000. Proportion of Soot fa Town Air. In a lecture at Leeds, England, Dr. Cohen said 20,000,000 of the Engin* people are dwellers in large town.. In Leeds 20 tons a soot are sent daily fn. to the air, and about half of that course down again into the town. Soot is not all pure carbon, but 15 per cent of it IS thick oil, whith makes it stick to ev- erything it comes•in contact with. Dr, Cohen found that three-quarters of the deposit collected on glass plates which he exposed consisted of soot. In some parts of Leeds the smoke normally ob- scures about one-lburth of the total daylight. Yet the Leeds corporation has a bylaw limiting the emissions of black smoke from boiler chimneys ta eve minutes per hour. The two eggs laid by a pigeon al- most invariably produce male and fe- inale.

Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this country. "Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessant- ly, and could not sleep. She finally dis- covered a way to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Dis- covery for Consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night; and with two bottles, has been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus writes W. C. Hamnick & Co., of Selby, N. C. Trial bottles free at S. B. Rude's Drug Store. Regular size 50c and $1.00. Every bot- tle guaranteed. The Probate Court. The final accounts of Mrs. Agatha Landsberger, adnainistratrix of her mother, Mrs. Maria A. Beissel, and her sister, Miss Anna M. Beissel, late of Hampton, were examined and al- lowed on Thursday, with a decree assigning estate to heirs. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be in- curable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0., is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from ten drops to a teaspoon- ful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer $100 for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi- monials. F. J. CHENEY ct CO., Toledo, 0.

A light breeze stirred ti boughs, on which the sunlight gleame in great gold patches, and countle song birds darted from limb to lim making the air vocal with their musi One plump, red breasted fello perched himself directly in front Fedora and with head on one side r garded her intently. The girl returned his gaze first wit amusement, then with interest an finally with sudden inspiration. Sh selected a crayon from her box an dexterously Jotted down a few ou lines. Then she consulted the brigh bits of color she had placed on he palette and with a sweep here an there of her long paint brush tran ferred the nucleus of her small feathe ed observer to a sketch card. She hel it up to the light and looked at it cri ically for a moment, then laid it o the long grass beside her and leane back against the trunk of the tree, he hands crossed loosely behind her head her eyes resting in dreamy contempla tion on the gleaming fields beyond Above her the faint rustling of th wind in the leaves drowned the silence Presently a shadow cut across th glimmering sunlight- Fedora glance tj up, and a faint color nged her cheeks It was the professor. ".If you are too busy"— he began looking down at her a little dubiously "Oh, no," she broke in quickly, smil ing up at him as she spoke. "I a never busy." Fedora prided hersel upon that accomplishment. "Do si down," she went on, with a bright look, pointing to the grassy Plot oppo- site her. The professor hesitated for a moment, then suddenly complied with the regvest, "A nice day," he remarked careless- ly as he sat down. "Charming," returned Fedora, sur- veying hint, with a smile. It had Sud- denly dawned upon her that the pro- fessor was a singularly good looking man to be so old—almost 40. And in spite of his twoscore years she found herself looking with approval, almost admiration, into his deep, clear eyes, above which the thick masses of brown hair waved back from an intellectual forehead. (All professors have intel- lectual foreheads.) "I don't like to interrupt you," he said, with a doubtful glance at the in- cipient sketch and Fedora's small paint stained fingers, "but there is something I wanted to say," he went on, tugging at his watch charm. "Really?" She gave a little cough and turned her eyes expectantly upon him. "It's—it's important," faltered the professor awkwardly, meeting her gaze. Fedora broke into a little soft laugh, and two dimples came into her face. "What's the matter?" he said, look- ing at her in astonishment, a suspicion arising in his mind that he was being reated with unnecessary levity. "You looked so—so serious," she re- plied, with such a charming little grim- ace and a look so profoundly innocent - that the professor immediately dis- missed his suspicion as unworthy. "If you don't mind, though," he pur- sued, a little uneasily, his eyes on her face, "I would rather you would not— that you would be a little serious." "Yes, certainly," assented Fedora, with alacrity, pulling a straight face, but with a glimmer of a smile showing about her mouth. Then the professor cleared his throat and went on with a slight hesitation: "I have a proposition." He stopped short and looked at her in a helpless sort of way. "Ah, I see!" she exclaimed; with a merry laugh. "And you want the—hy- pothesis?" "Precisely so," returned the profess- or, pis face brightening. He thought that his task would not be a difficult one with such an appreciative young woman. "And now to the point," he contin- ued, giving her a serious look. "A point indicates mere position and has no magnitude," interposed Fedora flippantly. 1 suppose not," replied the professor with slight sternness. "But it is not a problem in geometry this time," he concluded, the glint of a smile hover- ing about his lips, his voice calm. "Ohl" exclaimed the girl with wide eyes, as she folded both hands in her lap and fixed upon him a look of grave attention. He shifted his position a -little, pulled - at a tuft of grass, then looked across at her with sudden resolution and poke, -"Suppose—that—a—man"— The professor stopped short and cleared his throat again in a discon- certed sort of way. Fedora met his mikewith a mis- 9hievous smile and 0111Wed the end of her long paint brush. "Well?" she said, dropping her chin into one small hand. "That a man is"— "Yes?" "Well—in love, sou know," he blurt- ed out in desperation, flushing to the brim of his scholarly hat. Fedora's face was suffused with sud- den cobr, and she gave an inarticulate little murmur quite beyond interpreta- tion. There was an interval, during which neither spoke for several minutes. The professor was the first to break the pause. "Madly, terribly, foolishly in love," he said, emphasizing the last adverb as though it included the sum total of human imbecility. Fedora shot at him a glance of bewilderment. "To think," she said, making a mental observation, "that he could be so violent." There was another pause. She dug one dainty hand into the soft turf and looked at him shyly out of the corner of her eye. The professor spoke again. "What do you think of it?" he asked abruptly, his gaze resting upon her face with suppressed eagerness. "I—don't know." She said it slowly and blushed as she spoke. A mingled expression of doubt and perplexity be- came visible on the professor's face as be waited for her to go on. But Fedora remained silent, her eyes resting dreamily upon a little white j cloud drifting across the horizon. The situation was growing awkward. The professor felt that his grasp was slipping away from him and went on, a little anxiously: "You know about such things—girls generally do. Tell me—what shall I do?" He toyed nervously with a dead twig as he spoke and searched her face nar- rowly for encouragement. Fedora reflected for a moment, then nodded with decision. "It depends," she said dryly, fixing her eyes upon his with a serious look. "Yes?" The professor turned to her with a quick smile. Fedora pondered again, then dropped her eyes half timidly and twisted the corner of her handkerchief, "On—the other one, you know—the girl," she went on, with a soft blush. The professor gazed at her in silence, his kind eyes full of perplexity. "Does she—care for you?" asked Fe- dora in a low voice, looking away. "That's precisely the point," said he, pushing back his hat. "I want to find out." "Is she pretty?" "Beautiful i" replied the professor, with enthusiasm. "She has the most magnificent brown eyes in the world and hair—how do they say in novels— like spun gold, that's it," he concluded impulsively, his eyes aglow. Fedora's cerulean orbs were sudden- ly misty, and her dusky brown head was averted. There was silence for a few mo- ments. After a little she leaned for- ward to pick a flower, her heart throb- bing violently, and the color faded from her face. The professor drew a long breath and sighed. "She doesn't give me any en- couragement," he ventured, regarding her with a questioning, half wistful look. "Perhaps," said Fedora faintly, as if to herself, "she cares for some one else." The professor stared at her in con- sternation. "I never—thought—of—that," he said lowly, dismay stealing into his tones, s his eyes sought hers with an intense ook as though searching her inmost a 1 soul, The pause that followed was unbro- ken for some moments. Finally he spoke. "I hope—you have not made a mis- take," he said, rising to go, "because it meant so much to me—everything." He was looking down upon her, and there was something in his eyes she had never seen there before, "There is only one way—to findout," she said, speaking heroically, but with a dreary little smile. The professor's face brightened. "Well?" said he, almost holding his breath. The girl did not immediately reply. Something seemed to clutch at her throat. - Presently she lifted her eyes—suspi- ciously bright—to his and said slowly, her voice half tremulous: "Just tell her—in a straightforward, manly way that you—love—her and want a—serious answer." She dropped her eyes suddenly as she encountered his look —'not easy to evade. There was an inaudible stillness. Fe- dora was looking away like one in a dream, her hands lying cold and pas- sive in her lap. The sunshine circled about her red brown head in a shimmering rainbow. The professor looked across at her, his eyes full of unexpected admiration, his hands knotted close together. After awhile he leaned suddenly to- ward her and with a quick movement seized both her hands in his own. "Fedora, I love you. Will you marry me?" The girl gave him a swift, startled glance, and the color flamed to her cheeks, while the tears and smiles struggled for mastery. "But—but my hair is not gold," she exclaimed, with a puzzled little laugh, looking shyly at him, "and my eyes are—blue." "And mine," said he, taking her in his arms, "are color blind."—Chicago News.

Lost His Birthmark. An amusing incident took place at the Grand Central station a few weeks ago. A portly man with clothes offor- eign c'it, outlandish baggage and a de- cided German brogue bought a ticket for a western point and then bought a sleeping berth and waited for his train to be announced. As soon as it was called he got into liue, occupied much space with all his bags ana bundles and made people in front and behind him uncomfortable. He had no sooner reached the platform than he dropped his baggage and freight and pushed his way back into the waiting room, ran up to the police officer and said breathlessly: "Say, I lost my. birthmark." "Your birthmark? Where was it?" "Here in my pocket in." "In your pocket? That's a nice place to have one," said the officer, wishing to humor a crazy man. "How did it look ?" "Red—fool—like all birthmark. I can without it not in the sleep wagon go," and he rushed to the ticket win- dow, where they knew that the Ger- man meant berth check when he said birthmark, and the matter was settled to his katisfaction. The crowds hail gone through the door, and it was near- ly train time when he came 'bounding back and up to the ticket window, where, with profuse apologies, he told the clerk that be had found his "birth- mark."—New York Tribune. Too Much Realism, Mme, de Navarro has recorded in "A Few Memories" the greatest lesson she ever received against too much real- 1 ism. In a certain drama the heroine, under great excitement, suddenly stops to gain composure as she hears the approaching carriages of the guests. "Hark!" she says. "I hear the wheels of their carriages.' We obtained the effects of approach- ing wheels, but, try as. we would, the stamping of the horses' feet upon the gravel before Clarisse's door we could not manage. At last a brilliant idea struck me, which •the stage manager promptly indorsed. It was that we should have in a donkey from Covent Garden to trot up and down behind the scenes on -the gravel especially laid for him: We were decidedly nervous on the first appearance of our four footed friend, whose role was to counterfeit the high stepping horses of the brilliant French court. When his cue was given, there was only an ominous silence. I repeated the word in a louder voice, when such a braying and scuffling were heard as sent the audience into roars of laugh- ter. Although It was one of the most serious situations of the play, I could not help joining In their mirth until the tears rolled down _my cheeks, An Inviting Gun. The Hon. William Wortham, long state treasurer of Texas, was in a New York jewelry •store one day when he noticed a showcase filled . with splen- did jeweled revolvers with silver and goid grips and chased barrels,: having precious stones set into the butts. "Lemme see one of those guns," he said to the clerk. "Which one, sir?" "Thr- gold one with the Mg ruby iv the handle." The clerk took it from the case. 1t was marked $33, and it looked worth even more. The Texan took it tender- ly in both hands and held it admiring- ly up to the light. Then drawing him- self up to his full height, which was G% feet, he rested the revolver barrel upon his left elbow, crooked for the purpose, and looked over ' the sights down the long store. Those persons ; who saw him involuntarily dodged. "Say." said Mr. Wortham, with quiet but intense enthusiasm, as he re- turned the weapon. "if I was to wear that gun down in my state the people would be falling down on their knees begging to be killed with it." To Catch Him.

A light breeze stirred t boughs, on which the sunlight gleam in great gold patches, and countle song birds darted from limb to lim making the air vocal with their mus One plump, red breasted fello perched himself directly in front Fedora and with head on one side r garded her intently. The girl returned his gaze first wi amusement, then with interest an finally with sudden inspiration. S selected a crayon from her box an dexterously jotted down a few ou lines. Then she consulted the brig bits of color she had placed on h palette and with a sweep here an there of her long paint brush tran !erred the nucleus of her small feathe ed observer to a sketch card. She hel it up to the light and looked at it crl ically for a moment, then laid it o the longgrass beside her and a le ane ane back against the trunk of the tree, he hands crossed loosely behind her hea her eyes resting in dreamy contempt tion on the gleaming fields beyon Above her the faint rustling of th wind In the leaves drowned the silenc Presently a shadow cut across th glimmering sunlight. Fedora glance up, and a faint color tinged her cheek It was the professor. "if you are too busy"- be began looking down at her a little dubiously "Oh, no," she broke in quickly, smil Ing up at him as she spoke. "I am never busy." Fedora prided hersel upon that accomplishment. "Do si down," she went on, with a brigh look, pointing to the grassy plot oppo site her. The professor hesitated fo a moment, thou suddenly complied with the request. "A nice day," he remarked careless ly as he sat down. "Charming," returned Fedora, sur veying him, with a smile. It had sud denly dawned upon her that the pro- fessor was a singularly good looking man to be so old -almost 40. And in spite of his twoscore years she found herself looking with approval, almost admiration, into his deep, clear eyes, above which the thick masses of brown hair waved back from an intellectual forehead. (All professors have intel- lectual foreheads.) "I don't like to interrupt you," he said, with a doubtful glance at the in- cipient sketch and Fedora's small paint stained fingers, "but there is something I wanted to say," he went on, tugging at his watch charm. "Really?" She gave a little cough and turned her eyes expectantly upon him. . "It's -it's important," faltered the professor awkwardly, meeting her gaze. Fedora broke into a little soft laugh, and two dimples came into her face. "What's the matter?" he said, look- ing at her in astonishment, a suspicion arising in his mind that he was being rested with unnecessary levity. "You looked so-so serious," she re- plied, with such a charming little grim- ace and a look so profoundly innocent that the professor immediately dis- missed his suspicion as unworthy. "If you don't mind, though," he pur- sued, a little uneasily, his eyes on her face, "I would rather you would not - that you would be a little serious." "Yes, certainly," assented Fedora, with alacrity, pulling a straight face, but with a glimmer of a smile showing about her mouth. Then the professor cleared his throat and went on with a slight hesitation: "I have a proposition." He stopped short and looked at her in a helpless sort of way. "All, I see!" she exclaimed, with a merry laugh. "And you want the-by- pothesis ?" "Precisely so," returned the profess- or, his face brightening. He thought that his task would not be a difficult one with such an appreciative young woman. "And now to the point," he contin- ued, giving her a serious look. "A point indicates mere position and has no magnitude," interposed Fedora flippantly. I suppose not," replied the professor with slight sternness. "But it is not a problem in geometry this time," he concluded, the glint of a smile hover- ing about his lips, his voice calm. "Ohl" exclaimed the girl with wide eyes, as she folded both hands in her lap and fixed upon him a look of grave attention. He shifted his position a -little, pulled at a tuft of grass, then looked across at her with sudden resolution and poke, "Suppose -that -a -man" - The professor stopped short and cleared his throat again in a discon- certed sort of way. - Fedora met his with a mis- ehievous smile and 0d the end of her long paint brush.` "Well?" she .said, dropping her chin Into one small band. _ "That a man is" - "Yes r s"-"Yes?" "Well -in love. 'ou know," he blurt- ed out in desperation, flushing to the brim of his scholarly hat. Fedora's face was suffused with sud- den color, and she gave an inarticulate little murmur quite beyond interpreta- tion. There was an interval, during which *either spoke for several minutes. The professor was the first to break the "Madly, terribly, foolishly in love," he said, emphasizing the last adve as though it included the sum total human imbecility. Fedora shot at h a glance of bewilderment. "To think," she said, making mental observation, "that he could so violent." There was another pause. She d one dainty hand into the soft turf a looked at him shyly out of the corn of her eye. The professor spoke again, "What do you think of it?" he asked abruptly, his gaze resting upon her face with suppressed eagerness. "I -don't know." She said it slowly and blushed as she spoke. A mingled expression of doubt and perplexity be- came visible on the professor's face as he waited for her to go on. But Fedora remained silent, her eyes resting dreamily upon a little white cloud drifting across the horizon. The situation was growing awkward. The professor felt that his grasp was slipping away from him and went on, a little anxiously: "You know about such things -girls generally do. Tell me -what shall I do?" He toyed nervously with a dead twig as he spoke and searched her face nar- rowly for encouragement. Fedora reflected for a moment, then nodded with decision. "It depends," she said dryly, fixing her eyes upon his with a serious look. "Yes?" The professor turned to her with a quick smile. Fedora pondered again, then dropped her eyes half timidly and twisted the corner of her handkerchief. "On -the other one, you know -the girl," she went on, with a soft blush. The professor gazed at her in silence, his kind eyes full of perplexity. "Does she -care for you?" asked Fe- dora in a low voice, looking away. "That's precisely the point," said he, pushing back his bat. "I want to find out." "Is she pretty?" "Bea`utiful:" replied the professor, with enthusiasm. "She has the most magnificent brown eyes in the world and hair -how do they say in novels - like spun gold, that's it," he concluded impulsively, his eyes aglow. Fedora's cerulean orbs were sudden- ly misty, and her dusky brown head was averted. There was silence for a few mo- ments. After a little she leaned for- ward to pick a flower, her heart throb - wing violently, and the color faded from her face. The professor drew a long breath and lghed. "She doesn't give me any en- ouragement,rr he ventured, regarding her with a questioning, half wistful ook. "Perhaps," said Fedora faintly, as if o herself, "she cares for some one Ise." The professor stared at her in con- ternation. "I never -thought -of -that," he said lowly, dismay stealing into his tones, s his eyes sought hers with an intense ook as though searching her inmost out. The pause that followed was unbro- en for some moments. Finally he poke. "I hope -you have not made a mis- ake," he said, rising to go, "because meant so much to me -everything." d was looking down upon her, and here was something in his eyes she ad never seen there before. "There is only one way -to find out," he said, speaking heroically, but with dreary little smile. The professor's face brightened. Well?" said be, almost holding his reath. The girl did not immediately reply. omething seemed to clutch at her hroat. Presently she lifted her eyes-suspi- iously bright -to his and said slowly, er voice half tremulous: "Just tell her -in a straightforward, anly way that you -love -her and ant a -serious answer." She dropped her eyes suddenly as she ncountered his look - not easy to vade. There was an inaudible stillness. Fe - ora was looking away like one in a ream, her hands lying cold and pas- ve in her lap. The sunshine circled about her red rown head in a shimmering rainbow. The professor looked across at her, is eyes full of unexpected admiration, is hands knotted close together. After awhile he leaned suddenly to- ard her and with a quick movement lzed both her hands in his own. "Fedora, I love you. Will you marry e?" The girl gave him a swift, startled ,nee, and the color flamed to her eeks, while the tears and smiles ruggled for mastery. "But -but my hair is not gold," she claimed, with a puzzled little laugh, oking shyly at him, "and my eyes e -blue."

Too Much Realism. Mme- de Navarro has recorded in "A Few Memories" the greatest lesson she ever received against too much real- ism. In a certain drama the heroine, under great excitement, suddenly stops to gain composure as she hears the approaching carriages of the guests. "Hark!" she says. "I hear the wheels of their carriages.' We obtained the effects of approach- ing wheels, but, try as we would the stamping of the horses' feet upon the gravel before Clarisse's door we could not manage. At last a brilliant idea struck me, which the stage manager promptly indorsed. It was that we should have in a donkey from Covent Garden to trot up and down behind the scenes on -the gravel especially laid for him: We were decidedly nervous on the first appearance of our four footed friend, whose role was to counterfeit the high stepping horses of the brilliant French court. When his cue was given, there was only an ominous silence. I repeated the word in a louder voice, when such a braying and scuffling were heard as sent the audience into roars of laugh- ter. Although it was one of the most serious situations of the play, I could not help joining in their mirth until the tears rolled down my cheeks. An Inviting Gun. The Hon. William Wortham, long state treasurer of Texas, was In a New York jewelry store one day when he noticed a showcase filled with splen- did jeweled revolvers with silver and gold grips and chased barrels, having precious stones set into the butts. "Lemme see one of those guns," he said to the clerk. "Which one, sir?" "The gold one with the big ruby in the handle." - The clerk took it from the case. It was marked $33, and it looked worth even more. The Texan took it tender- ly in both hands and held it admiring- ly up to the light. Then drawing him- self up to his full height, which was 61 feet, he rested the revolver barrel upon his left elbow, crooked for the purpose, and looked over the sights down the long store. Those persons who saw him involuntarily dodged. "Say." said Mr. Wortham, with quiet but Intense enthusiasm, as he re- turned the weapon. "if 1 was to wear that gun down in my state the people would be falling down on their knees begging to be killed with it." To Catch Him.

A lite buoy, the unique invention of Rear Admiral Ilicliboru, is now in use on the vessels of all considerable naval powers. Like all other useful Inven- tions, says The Scientific American, it is simple in principle. being a hollow airtight metallic ring provided with two automatic torches. which make it possible to locate the buoy at night. The torch stabs are so pivoted to the ring that they will Ile in the same plane and stow neatly against the side of the ship, as shown in the smaller illustration, when the buoy is not in use, but when it Is dropped -they as- sume, by virtue of the weight of their lower ends, a vertical po,ition in the water, thus raising the siguais above the surface. Each torch staff is fitted with a chamber at the lower tudiron- taining calcium phosphide, a chemical which ignites by contact with the wa- ter. When the buoy is dropped, the seals of these chambers are broken au- tomatically, and admission of water is permitted, and the gases of combustion ascend and produce a large flare at the top, the combustion being so regulated that there is no danger of overheating. The most striking test of their effi- ciency in our service occurred on the 111 fated Maine about a year before she was blown up in Havana harbor. On the morning of Feb. 6. 1897, in ADMIRAL HICHBORN'S LIFE BUOY. latitude 34 degrees north and longi- tude 75 degrees 42 minutes west, a position a little south of Cape Hatteras, the Maine was breasting a terrific storm, such sifitg ebitd`'have` tried the seaworthiness of the stanchest ship. In executing an order Gunner's Mate Charles Hassel and Seaman Kogel were washed overboard. The two buoys were immediately dropped, and Hassel was seen to reach one of them, but Kogel seems to have been stun- ned, for he made no apparent effort to save himself. Seeing this, Landsman William J. Creelman jumped overboard and made a futile attempt to rescue him and, after failing, succeeded in reaching the same buoy to which Has- sel already clung. In the meanwhile the port lifeboat, manned by a volunteer crew under command of Cadet Walter Gherardi, was lowered, but it was soon found that in the terrific sea it was quite im- possible to reach the imperiled men with the boat, and the crew were haul- ed aboard by life lines, the boat being abandoned. By this time the two men on the buoy had been lost sight of, but their bearings had been kept, and when the ship steamed in their direction the torches were soon sighted through the blinding mist of rain, and by the most skillful handling the two men were safely hauled over the bow and landed on deck, so little injured by their ad- venture that both returned to duty the next day.

British shipbuilders have been wrestling with a score of intricate ar problems in construction, all pointing o the coming of the mighty leviathan go steamers that are to plow the mains laden with the tonnage of a thousand shops.

Electricity In Glassmaktng. Electricity has been applied to the manufactyye of glass. Formerly diffi- culties were experienced in melting the ingredients, owing to particles_ of coal and cinders entering the crucible, to the injury of the product. These are now eliminated by employing an elec- tric arc within a carbon crucible to fuse the ingredients. Great economy results, as but 40 per cent of the coal formerly used is required. A pot of glass can be melted in 15 minutes that by the old process would require 80 hours. Boston Herald. Powerful Dredges. The great necessity for deeper har- bors and deeper rivers in the new and growing commercial centers through- out the world utas led to the construc- tion of some enormous dredges which lift 1,000 tons of soil or sand in a depth of 40 feet of water. A dozen such dredges are now under construction.— Philadelphia Press.

Fined the Fire. Anyhow. IS MARS PEOPLaD? "The worst kind of a fool ip the world is a well meaning fool," said a detective sagely. "I was walking along one night in a neighborhood not neces- sary to specify, when up rushed a man in his shirt sleeves and grabbed me by the arm. 'Say, officer!' he ex- claimed, calling me, by name, 'I just saw a fellow do :something that he ought to get ten years for at least. He was a big loafer in a checked suit, and I would know him again in China'— "'But what did he dor I interrupted. "'Why, I was sitting on my porch,' replied the man in shirt sleeves, 'and saw him go up deliberately to that letter box on the corner and drop in a lighted cigar stump. Just think of the valuable mail the scoundrel might have destroyed!' 'Are .you sure the cigar rare it? 1 asked. "'Well, I'm pretty sure,' he said, 'but you needn't to worry. He hasn't burned up anything.' "'How the dickens do you know he hasn't?' said I, surprised. "'Why, I got a pitcher of water and poured it right in,' said he. I walked off. I never did find out what those letters looked like when the carrier got around."—New Orleans Times - Democrat. Hie Uneontagious Laugh. "'Laugh and the world laughs with you.' How true that is," said Mr. Hig- gleson. "To have written just that line was worth.living for." "Oh, I, don't know about that," Mrs. Higgleson replied. "I admit that there is a good deal of philosophy in the poem from which those words are tak- en, but it isn't always true." "My dear," Mr. Higgleson exclaimed, "you are mistaken. It is always true. 'Laugh and the world laughs with yon-' It's as true as anything that has ever been written. The whole philosophy of human existence is bound up in those few words." "The whole philosophy of humantex- istence may be bound up in them," the lady responded, "but I insist that It doesn't always happen that way. I've noticed that you always laugh when you try to tell a funny. story, but it's very seldom that the world laughs with you." Mr. Higgleson drew himself up with all the dignity he could command and, striding angrily from the room, ex- claimed: "As Milton says in his 'Essay on Man,"'How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a sneering wife.' "— New York Telegram: When Lincoln Died. And so the hours passed without per- ceptible change in the president's con- dition and with only slight shifting of the scene around him. The testimony of those who had witnessed the mur- der began to be taken in an adjoining room. Occasionally the figures at the bedside changed. Mrs. Lincoln came in at intervals, sobbing out her grief, and then was led away. This man went, another took his place. It was not until daylight that there came a perceptible change. Then the breath- ing grew quieter, the face became more calm. The doctors at Lincoln's side knew that dissolution was near. Their bul- letin of 6 o'clock read, "Pulse failing;" that of half past 6, "Still failing;" that of 7, "Symptoms of immediate dissolu- tion," and then at 22 minutes past 7, in the presence of his son, Secretaries Stanton, Welles and Usher, Attorney General Speed, Senator Sumner, Pri- vate Secretary Hay, Dr. Gurley, his pastor, and several physicians and friends, Abraham Lincoln died. There was a prayer, and then the solemn voice of Stanton broke the still- ness, "Now he belongs to the ages."— McClure's Magazine. Only Jar of It■ Kind. Horace Walpole tells a lively story of an old porcelain vender, who had an exceedingly rare and valuable jar on which he set an almost fabulous price. One hot summer a slight volcanic shock, such as the British isles occa- sionally experience, jogged his house about his ears and split his porcelain vase. To an ordinary mind the accident would have been calamitous, but the china seller rose superior to fortune. He doubled the price of the article im- mediately and advertised it as "the only jar in the world which had been cracked by an earthquake." Nothing very slow about that. Whether he got his money is not added, but he certain- ly deserved it. Had Left For Parts Unknown. In a murder trial in Dallas the coun- sel for the defense was examining a venireman regarding his qualifications to serve. The candidate admitted that he had once been a member of a jury which tried a negro for murder. It is not permissible in such cases to ask the result of the trial, so the counsel said: "Where is that negro now?" "I don't know," was the reply. "The sheriff hanged him at the appointed time.',—Law Notes. Modest Appeal. The attention of English speaking visitors to the Milan cathedral is read- ily attracted by the following notice which appears over an alms box: "Appele to Charltables. The Broth- ers, so called, of Mercy ask slender arms for the Hospital. They harbor all kinds of diseases and have no re- spect to religion." Dogs Growing Weaker. Experts agree that the life of a dog is shortened by close breeding and ex. hibition and that we are gradually raising dogs that will not be so song lived as the semiwild mond Mem. Such a Claim Advanced by a Ger •an Scientist. "Is Mars inhabited?" has been asked very often during recent years and has engaged the serious attention of many astronomers and especially of k Ca- mille Flammarion, a noted French sci- entist and author. Some new light is now thrown on this subject by Professor Ernst Haeck- el, an eminent German philosopher, in a book entitled "World Problems." After pointing out that men have been studying the heavens for more than 4,500 years and have only been study- ing themselves for the last half cen- tury he says we may safely assume that the many fixed stars whose light requires thousands of years to reach us are suns and are surrounded by planets and worlds similar to those we know. We may also assume, he holds, that thousands of these planets have arrived at the same stage of develop- ment as oar world, and it naturally follows that qn them the same condi- tions of life prevail as on this earth, and there is no valid reason why hu- man beings should not live there as they do here. Professor Haeckel takes care to ex- plain that there are doubtless many planets the temperature of which is such that life, as we understand the term, cannot be sustained oils them. He thinks it very probable that there are types of animals and plants on some planets which are not to be found on the earth. According to him, it is very likely that the biogenetic process exists on Mars, Venus and possibly some other planets of our system, as well as on planets of other solar sys- tems, but plants on these planets have reached a higher stage of development than has been reached by animals and plants of this earth. If we assume that Mars is inhabited —and Professor Haeckel seems pretty well satisfied that it is—we must as- sume, he holds, that the men and wo- men whose home is on the planet are not such as we, but of a far higher type. They may resemble us exterior- ly, but they are free from our physical defects and excel us in strength and gracefulness. It is in the intellectual sphere, however, that their superiori- ty is most clearly shown. If there are human beings on these planets, says Professor Haeckel, it is extremely probable that they far surpass ordi- nary men and women In intelligence. Glassware Wrapper. Lamp chimneys, bottles and otherir- regularly shaped glass stades many d alebitfes'to safe peeking, and exceleior, tissue paper and compart- ment boxes have been the only resort of the shipper. What appears to be a new and effective wrapper, however, the invention of Charles A. 'Moffitt of Indianapolis, is made of pasteboard, manipulated as shown in the accompa- nying illustration. It consists of a piece of cardboard or other similar ma- terial, provided with a series of longi - WRAPPER FOR LAMP CHIMNEY. tudinal slits. Near the end a portion is left intact, except that it is scored in lines, forming continuations of the slits. At the point where the slits be gin, depending on the article to be packed, two cross scores are made, which gives considerable elasticity to the cover, enabling it to conform to sudden curves—in outline in the wrap- ped body. Provision is also made for some short, slotted end pieces, adapted to be folded over the ends of the in- closed object, thereby helping to keep the wrapper in position. Substitute For Coal. It is believed that a recent discovery by a German chemist, says the New York Commercial, has solved the prob- lem of furnishing the northwest with a fuel equally as good as coal and at a price so far below that at which the product of eastern mines can be deliv- ered as to make competition impossi- ble. By the process sulphur and Other elements other than carbon can be re- moved from lignite and the residue formed by pressure into small cubes about the size of ordinary anthracite coal. The entire state of North Dako- ta is underlaid with practically inex- haustible deposits of this mineral, the beds being from 10 to 15 feet thick. A test of the prepared lignite was recent- ly made before a number of railroad engineers in St. Paul, with the result that an order for 100,000 tons was giv- en for immediate delivery. Sing While Marching, A German army doctor has discover- ed that singing possesses health giving properties. He claims that ft intensi- fies the respiratory movements, thus rendering the lungs capable of dealing with more air. This increases and strengthens the action of all the organs of the body. Appetite and thirst in- crease, and the more frequent move- ments of the diaphragm materially aid digestion. German foot soldiers are therefore encouraged to sing on the march. ,.ed cn the Floor. "Hoa't . py't" The busy fellow in his shit. .:!,eves, rushing through bis work, has asked the question of the itcopy cutter" In the composing room, where the printers are setting the pa- per.

"Crowded to death," comes the an- swer. "All right; I'll be up in a moment and help you out." In a little while the busy fellow in his shirt sleeves Is sorting a mass of• copy, leaving one story out of the pa- per entirely, laying another aside to be "cut down," tossing this and that on to the seerand making spare for the im- portant news that must go into the pa- per.

The Japanese gt3rdeners make a se- cret of the means ''by which the minia- ture trees are pr../, ed; but, like many other mysteries, • e secret has been discovered by the,,curious occidental. It is simple enough, consisting only in the cutting of the roots when they first begin to sprout. Suppose a minitrlure oak tree is de- sired. The Japaskime gardener takes an acorn and an orange., He carefully scoops out the i terior-ef the orange and fills the skin itb rich mold. Ex- actly in the center he places the acorn, leaving a round hole in a line with the sprouting point. tie puts his orange In a sunny place and waters it every day, Soon after the first shoot appears, and in a very short time afterward the roots break through the orange skin. These are shaved c:ff continually. The tree grows to about five inches high and then stops. In a year it is a'per- fect miniature oak. When the roots cease to grow, the ends are varnished over and the orange imbedded in a pot or vase. The tree becomes a,ore gnarl- ed and stunt d every year and is train- ed to ' 't -- shape is desired.—New York. it The Last Opportunity, The late Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, the famous skeptic, told many stories of experiences which grew out of the common knowledge of bis skepticism. One of these related to a visit which he once made to Rev. Phillips brooks before Dr. Brooks became a bishop. Calling on Dr. Brooks, he was re- fused admission because, as the serv- ant said, it was "sermon day," and some of Dr. Brooks' own home people had already been denied admission. But Dr. Brooks learned that Ingersoll was at the door and sent out word that he should come in. After the interview, and as Colonel Ingersoll was about to leave, he said: "Dr. Brooks, your man told me that you had denied yourself to some of your home people this morning. Now how is it that you have admitted me, a stranger?" "Oh, that's quite easy," said Dr. Brooks, laughing. "They are my church members, and I shall see them again, here or in heaven, but isn't it right for me to consider your belief and that I shall probably never meet you again!"—youth's Companion. Trouble In Teaching Monkeys, An experienced animal trainer says: "As a rule, monkeys are readily train- ed, but occasionally there is one, as in the human species, who is a dunce and won't learn anything, is positively stupid and refuses persistently to be- come educated. The trouble in teach- ing monkeys is largely that they are mischievous. They try to overdo things and do things which are not wanted of them, so that in order to make them perform as desired steady drilling is necessary, although they grasp an idea quickly. The only two species of animals which can be taught by precept and example are the chim- panzee and the orang outang. They are imitators, and to instruct them in doing a thing it is only necessary for the trainer to do It first himself, and then either oge of these will imitate him."—Washington Post.

Some of them are improvements and others may be, but the manufacturer, as we have said, takes care of himself and not of the public, and the public must find out for itself whether the new processes and ingredients are whole- some or not, and if not it must find means of restraining their use. The attacks upon new ingredients have come in more than one instance from the producers of the old ones, who see their market threatened, and it Is as necessary to guard against the self in- terest of this class as against that of the manufacturer. Salicylic acid is extensively used for the preservation of beer. It has also been much used for the preservation of meat and milk. It is a potent medicinal remedy, less used, we believe, now than when it was first introduced, be- cause its extensive use is believed to be decidedly injurious. This creates a strong presumption against its use as a food preservative. But it is not conclu- sive. Salicylic acid may be injurious in large doses and absolutely innocuous In small doses. Half an ounce in a bar- rel of beer seems a very small amount. But a large part of the community drinks beer freely every day in the year. Even at the rate of only half au ounce to the barrel a considerable amount- may ba taken- intc 'he system by a regular beer drinker. It is desira- ble to secure definite 4uformation upon this point. Scientists are not agreed. But the testimony of physicians, chem- ists and physiologists, who have no pe- cuniary interest in the use or nonuse of the acid, ought to be definite enough to serve as a basis for legilslation. Sal- icylic acid has now been in use as a medicine and as a preservative so long that there must be a good deal of knowledge of its effects upon the hu- man system. Any preservative which is innocent is of very great impor- tance in these days of concentration of production, when so much of our food and drink must be prepared at a great distance from the consumer. But le public is excusable for regarding un- familiar preservatives with a good deal of suspicion. The principal reason for using glu- cose is its cheapness. It has about two- thirds the saccharine strength of sugar, so that when the public gets glucose it gets less sweetness than it expects, but probably all it pays for. There is no doubt that it is extensively used in beer, sirup, confectionery and pre- serves. As a cheap sweetening it is to be welcomed, and whether it is a wholesome sweetening is a question to be determined by the testimony of im- partial and competent chemists and physicians. There would seem to be no reason why compounded foods and drinks should not be required to bear a state- ment of their ingredients. It might hurt their sale at first, but it may be argued that the public is entitled to know what it is eating and drinking. If the compound is not injurious, its frank designation as such will not per- manently defeat Its use. Twenty years ago the use of cottonseed oil in lard was regarded as an adulteration, and manufacturers who used it did not take pains to inform the public of the fact. Now compounds of cottonseed oil are sold as such for culinary pur- poses, and advertisers set forth the superiority of vegetable oil over ani- mal fat. If the article is wholesome, the acknowledgment of its use by manufacturers will not long prevent the public from patronizing their prod- ucts. India Robber Industry. The bulletin of the Royal gardens, Kew, states that the falling off in the production of incite rubber at Lagos is due to the reckless way In which the trees are being exhausted. There is a want of control over the collectors, who tap young trees and destroy whole rubber forests by overworking, so that this industry, which is an important source of wealth to the colony, is in danger of extinction. A similar disas- ter occurred in Madagascar, and now active steps are being taken to pre- serve the industry by the establish- ment of plantations of rubber produc- ing plants.

"See that man who just went out?" asked a blacksmith, referring to a middle aged man who had left the shop a moment before. "Well, he's the greatest horse colorer In the country and the only man who has got the business down to Perfec- tion." "A horse colorer? What kind of a profession is that? Never heard of it before." "Well, the business ain't generally known to the public, but nowadays the horse colorer 1s the whole thing in rac- ing circles. For some time there has been an opening for a clever horse colorer, and the man who just went out has made a good many thousand dollars during the past few years working around race tracks. "Of course, you know that the out- lawing rules on the race track are pretty strict, and it has become very difficult to start a 'ringer' on any track. A 'ringer,' you know, is a good horse made to appear like an old skate, so that he can be entered in the slower races. "This professional colorer is nothing more nor less than a 'ringer preparer,' and he's got the slickest methods you can imagine. He can take a bay snare into his barn and within 24 hours bring her out as white as snow or jet black, just as you please. The old fashioned way of coloring horses was done by a liberal use of paint, but I've known it to go pretty hard with own- ers when their colored horses happen- ed to be caught in a shower. "The new method is fully known only to this one man, but he says that he uses some kind of chemicals and can give any color to any horse. He can give a black horse white feet and turn a sorrel into a dapple gray on very short notice. In another 24 hours he can bring back the original color of the horse. He charges $25 a trans- formation."—Chicago Democrat. COOKING VERSUS MORALS. Perfect Meals Are a Saving Grace to Many Men. When a man does not get the stimu- lating nourishme t which his nature craves, he resorts "to liquor to supply the want. With this fact staring one in the face, is it not wise to teach that unfailingly good food, with all the ele- ments that stimulate and nourish the body and the brain, has its moral as well as its physical benefits? There are cases on record proving the benefits of public school cooking, where the domestic sky has been per- fectly cleared of clouds because good food was offered where before It had been badly cooked, and consequently did not properly nourish. In one home the substitution of a well cooked cup of cocoa for the sloppy, herby tea that had become a component part of every morning meal, and a nice Indian cake or plate of muffins for the dry baker's loaf, began a work of reform. The father was proud of thi daughter's skill as a cook; the mother, who had grown careless and shiftless and In- different, was shamed by it. The con- sequence was better provision on the part of one or more care in preparation on the part of the other. The mother was by no means above turning to account some of the prac- tical knowledge the daughter bad ac- quired under such competent training, and she began also to brush up her own knowledge that she had carelessly allowed to fall into disuse.

Mr. Young and some friends had been discussing the political outlook in Kentucky at Mr. Young's house in Louisville one night, just on the eve of the Democratic state convention, sev- eral years ago. When the party broke up, Mr. Young's daughter, thea about 18 years old, now married, who had been an interested listener during the discussion, spoke up: "Why don't you run for governor, pa?" "Why, my child, they would never think of me for that office. No one cares enough about me for that." "But, pa, would you accept the nomi- nation if it were offered you?" "Why, of course I would; nobody would refuse the honor." Miss Young said no more at the time, but quietly slipped out of the house and started in the direction of The Courier -Journal office, Colonel Henry Watterson being an intimate friend of the family. It happened that she met the veteran editor in the street. "Ah, Uncle Henry, will you do me a favor?" the young woman asked im- pulsively. "Anything In the world that I can do I will." "Well, I want\pa to be governor �f Kentucky, and cn you get him the nomination?" Colonel Wattersen turned back to the office and sat down and wrote a spirited editorial, demanding in the in- terests of the Democratic party that John Brown Young be nominated by tbe convention soon to meet. The re- sult was in accordance with the noted editor's wishes, Mr. Young's election being a foregone conclusion. --Chicago Chronicle. Good and Bad Eels. "So you think that little eels are sweet and that big eels are rank and strong, do you?" said a fish dealer. "Well, you're off. It isn't the size of the eel that governs bis taste.

But most people think as you do, and throw away the big eel and cook the little one, and then, if the little fellow is strong, they think it is because he wasn't little enough. Nothing co, Id be further from the truth. "Tbe eel that inhabits a stream with a hard, clean, sandy bottom is sweet and edible, be he as big as your leg or tiny as your finger, for this eel finds food scarce, and be must exercise and keep sober and hustle—else he will starve—and this active career makes him healthy and wholesome. But the eel that lives in the mud, where pro- visions are plentiful, is unfit for the ta- ble, for his life is sluggish, his habits and organs are bad and his flesh, when cooked, tastes and smells of the muddy element.

Statements as to the distance of the pole star from the eartb which have appeared in some of the newspapers lately have been ridiculously inade- quate. One of the estimates made is 255,000,000 miles. Now, if one will re- member that the sun is 93,000,000 miles away and that its light comes to us in eight minutes, he will see that if the foregoing estimate of the distance of the pole star were right its beams could reach us in about 15 days. It would be only about 2,700 times as far off as the sun. Light travels 6,000,000,000,000 miles In a year, and even the most modest guesses as to the parallax of Polaris make it 85 light years. Pritchard's es- timate in 1887 was 90 light years, but he has since modified his figures. Hence, 1f one will write 210 and add 12 ciphers thereto he will have the num- ber of miles which the most conserv- ative authorities believe intervene be- tween the earth and the pole star.— New York Tribune.

The retail grocers are considerably exercised over the baking powder law which took effect on the 1st inst. Several of the large companies have declined to furnish labels giving the required formula, and the conundrum is how to dispose of the stack on hand. Robert Carmichael, of Castle Rock, is expecting the appointment as superintendent of our asylum, and would make a very good man for the place. The People's Bank at Wabasha has failed, with liabilities of about $70,000. The capital stock is $30,000. which will be a total loss. T. J. Knox, of Jackson, has been appointed railroad commissioner to succeed J. B. Mills, which leaves no republican upon the board. E. V. Smalley, of The Northwest Magazine, died in St. Paul Friday night of nervous dyspepsia, aged fifty-eight years. Gov. Lind was presented with. a silver service on Monday by his appointees. The Miuneapolis Times says that Gov. Lind will not be a candidate for re-election. Sentiment in the republican ranks is very rapidly crystallizing in favor of Representative C. F. Staples for one .of the three railroad commis- sionerships. During his four con- secutive terms in the lower house of the state legislature Mr. Staples Las made himself very widely and very favorably known to the party leaders in all sections of the state. He is recognized as a man of absolute honesty of conviction and purpose, radical, perhaps, but with no quarrel with those who are not disposed to follow him, respected by all who have come in contact with him, of abund- ant energy, and no ineaa order of ability. Mr. Staples' qualifications and fitness for a place on the rail- road commission are conceded. and his name would add considerable strength to the ticket, for ho would draw votes from the opposition. In addition, he lives in the third dis- trict. which deserves consideration in making up the state ticket. There secures to be a disposition to concede Mr. Staples this nomination if he wants it, and his friends sav he would not decline it. St. Paul Pio- neer Press. The mention of Representative Staples of Dakota County for rail- road commissioner on the republican ticket has been well received by many of the state leaders. About the capitol .those of his faith speak kindly of the move. Even State Auditor Dunn offers no objection. For some time following Staples' advent into state politics he was not accorded the most friendly treatment by some above him, owing, perhaps, to his aggressive independence and free criticism of methods which his party employed. But closer acquaint- ance appears to have resulted to his benefit. Whether it is because in him aspiring members of the republi- can party see a figure to be reckoned with is not known definitely. -Min- neapolis Tines. So far as the third district is con- cerned, those who know Mr. Heat- wole best are confident that he would accept the congressional nomination if again tendered him by his party. And it is also well known that at least four out of every five of the republicans of the district desire him to run again. Aud this is not strange when we take into considera- tion the brilliant record he has made in congress. He has forged to the trout at a rate never before equaled by a Minnesota meraber, and yet, with all his success, has never turned a deaf ear to the prayer of a single constituent. Therefore it is not to be - wondered at that the people desire to continue him ,in the good work. - Litchfield News Ledger.

You doubt it?" continued as he saw old Parm shake his head. "Well, to prove w I say I will give you an episode in own life. I came to New York in 1 with no capital but a country m suit of clothes and a common sch I was a lank looking you fellow, with 'hayseed' written all o me; but, like many another raw co try lad, I was irresistibly attracted the city, where I soon expected strike the combination that would 1 to fortune and fame.

And I asked m self why I, a clean, decent young ow, who had never been a 'bum hould be allowed to starve, whi Billy' was living on the fat of th d. At first the wild thought cam nto my head to -start out myself on career of cr-I mean of revivalism un er the name of 'Charley, the Co erted Boy Fiend,' and rake in hekels like 'Billy.' But somehow felt I couldn't get down as low as brilliant thought struck me, ho ver. I would state the whole thing i an advertisement, more to relieve m eelings than with any hope of gettin answer. "So I scraped enough money togethe o insert the following in one of t apers: 'If I were a drunken "bum ust taken out of the gutter, scores o ind religious people would stretc ut a hand to help me. But as I my a decent and self respecting youn an, with no vices or bad habits, I am thout work and starving in thi reat, cruel city.' And I added m Malt; and address.

Ask to see me personally, a am sorry to say my partner Is an in el, and, though a good man, h fight not be disposed to look at y e so kindly.' "My heart jumped with joy on read this kind letter, and for a little wile I forgot the other one. But I opened it and read as follows: '5 s deeply stirred by the -undertone despair in your advertisement, as I once as friendless as you are.

Pears may be made into a salad which is particularly nice to serve with young ducks. The West India alliga- tor pear Is best, but any native pear not too ripe may be used. Peel the fruit and cut into thin slices crosswise. Take out the core and put the slices upon the crisp heart leaves of lettuce. A mayonnaise dressing Is usually put over this salad, but a French dressing tray be used. If desired, thin rings of onion may be scattered among the ck'ele' of pears. DEFECTIVE PAGE ' A Peiv'seot Dissuade. Dr. , O ge Fordyce, who came in Yt82 from Edinburgh to London, very. ollaealily made himself a name by a Seraglio! ppblit lectures on medtoal eAoe tlYtdch be afterward published in a ttoktme ilitttled, "Elements of the Practice of Physics," Which passed through runny editions. Unfortunately' ha was given to drink, and, though he. deter was known to be den drunk, yet he wee often in a state which rendered M. unfit for professional du- ties. One night when he was in such a condition he was suddenly sent for to attend a lady of title who was very ill. He went,, sat down, listened to her story and felt her pulse. He found he was not up to his work. He lost his wits and in a mo$ient of forgetfulness exclaimed. "Drunk, by Jovel" Still he managed to write out a mild prescrip- tion. Early next morning he received a message from his noble patient to call on her at once. Dr. Fordyce felt very uncomfortable. The lady evidently in- tended to upbraid him either with an improper prescription or with his dis- graceful condition. But to his sur- prise and relief she thanked him for his prompt compliance with her press- ing summons and then confessed that he had rightly diagnosed her case, that unfortunately she occasionally indulg- ed too freely in drink, but that she hoped he would preserve inviolable se- crecy as to the condition he had found her in. Fordyce listened to her grave as a judge and said: "You may depend upon me, madam. I shall be as silent as the grave." -Gentleman's Magazine. Dangerous Trading. Upon returning to camp we found that John, the driver, had purchased a load of pumpkins, which the native men and women from the Mazoe val- ley had brought to the wagon to barter. At first I was pleased, but when I found that John had traded away about 20 pounds of preservative, con- sisting of alum and arsenic, which he had mistaken for salt, I was filled with dismay! We knew not the villages whence the natives had come, nor could we explain the mistake, as we Were ignorant of their language; and before my scared mental vision rose' piles of dead Mashonas, pestilence and war on the whites -provided there re- mained enough live Mashonas to make it. Hence it was that before daylight the next morning we left for the fort. We made no mention of the matter to any one, but a year later, when visit- ing the Mazoe valley, I inquired of the 'ttives if there had been any dis- ease mong them about the time when the white men arrived in the country. They said there had been an epidemic of stomach aches, but, fortunately, no one had died from it; so my conscience was profoundly relieved. --"On the South African Frontier." Curds and Cheese. The rough outlines of cheesemaking are probably familiar to every one. Fresh milk is taken and curdled with rennet. The curd is then broken up and the liquid whey drawn off; the breaking up of the curd, its straining and the subjection of it to pressure are processes repeated several times until eventually the curd has become of the necessary consistency and solidity. It is then set aside, usually for some con- siderable time, to ripen, and during this time great changes are subtly tak- ing place in its substance, so that the curd, which at first was an uneatable solid, becomes gradually transformed into a palatable cheese. Suitable external conditions, chief among which is a proper temperature, are, of course, necessary to bring this ripening of the curd to a successful is- sue, but the real reason of the trans- formation Is the presence of myriads of bacteria, which find in the curd a luxurious dwelling place, where they can live and multiply. That in so liv- ing they must abstract foodstuffs from the curd around and give out in turn new subetances Is merely the natural course of their life, but it makes all the difference between curd and cheese. -Good Words. A Grasshopper For Luck. Should you be reposing in summer in a meadow and a grasshopper happens to jump on you by no means drive him away. Welcome and cherish him, which is best done by perfect qui- escence. Whether his usual merry disposition or his blithe hopping over all sorts of difficulties has any association with the notion we know not, but the popu- larity of the grasshopper is ancient and distinguished enough, the Greek species having been favorites with all the poets from Homer and Hesiod to Anacreon and Theocgitus. So much did the Athenians admire them that they were accustomed t0 fasten golden figures of them in their hair, and they were a} ays addressed by the moat endearing epithets. The sound of the glassbopper is always welcome and naturally of good omen, alluding, as it were,_to mummer and sunshine.-Oen- tlemarts Magazine. No Aiedldoal Treatment of Appeadiel- tie.

Within recent years those physicians who have made a specialty of diseases of the stomach have become convinced that the only satisfactory method of treating a great variety of stomach troubles is by washing out the stom- ach. This little performance is car- ried out by means of a flexible soft rubber tube, swallowed by the patient. At the other end of the tube is a rub- ber funnel, and when the stomach tube has reached the stomach warm Water or some medicated fluid is pour- ed in, and the stomach is subjected to a thorough cleaning. Disagreeable indeed the process is at first. Indeed, for the first few times of the introduction of the tube the pa- tient has often to be held down forci- bly to his seat. Then, curious to state, the dyspeptic gets used to the stomach tube and even begins to like it. The cranks express such a longing for it that long atter they are cured of their trouble they go on ueing the stomach pump once, twice or even three times a day. They haunt the physician's of- fice and become his bugbear during his office hours. Then finally, when the medical man puts his foot down and flatly refuses to pass the tube any more, they procure a stomach pump for themselves and use it before a looking glass. Table Manners In Old Frazee. Could we restore for half an hour the dinner table of old France and obtain half a dozen instantaneous photo- graphs of a royal banquet at any era between the reigns of Francis I and Louis Quatorze, such a "cataract of laughter" would be heard as might disturb the serenity of Louis in para- dise. The duchess, her napkin tied secure- ly round her neck, would be seen mum- bling a bone, the noble marquis sur- reptitiously scratching himself, the belle marquise withdrawing her spoon from her lips to help a neighbor to sauce with it, another fair creature scouring her plate with her bread, a gallant courtier using his doublet or the tablecloth as a towel for his fin- gers and two footmen holding a yard of damask under a Lady's chin while she emptied her goblet at a draft. During a feast of inordinate length it was sometimes necessary to substi- tute a clean cloth for the one which the carelessness or bad manners of the guests bad reduced to a deplorable condition. -"An Idler In Old Frances" by Tighe Hopkins. Appalling Brutality. Miss Slessor, Scotch missionary, who has been 24 years in Africa, has her- self saved the lives of over 50 twins. When twins are born, they are at once taken from the mother, and if no one intercedes they are at once taken by the feet and head and have their backs broken across a native woman's knee, in the same manner as one would break a stick. The bodies are then placed in an earthenware receptacle and taken to the bush, where they are devoured by the flies, insects or ani- mals. Sometimes the little victims are put into these receptacles alive and are then eaten alive in the same way. The mother becomes an outcast. If she does not at once take her own life, she has to flee to the bush. If she ventures near the town or village, she must see that she does not remain on the path when any other native is com- ing. Her presence, according to their superstition, would defile the place for others. She must not drink from the same spring, must not touch anything even belonging to her own relatives. - Missionary Review of the World. A crematory is being built for burn- ing bodies in liquid air. The corpse is to be placed in an open metallic recep- tacle and some ten gallons of the liquid poured on. In a few moments, as the nitrogen evaporates first, the oxygen can be ignited and will burn up the body rapidly and thoroughly, avoiding all the unpleasant features of the pres- ent method, saving much time and re- ducing the expense. -practical Drug - The Preebyterlan Church.

I could not hope to gain so Lair a bliss As lavish fortune gave me, dear, in you. I could not hope eo fair a bliss to gain, The lack whereof would leave existence vain. Wherefore have I no shadow of desire To blot away my penury and pain. My penury and pain to blot away— Ah, comrade of my spirit, who can say That he has pain whose unavailing pang. So soft a hand is lifted to allay? And penury? Why, that is but a name To whoso feels divine affection's flame. Better the glow of mutual love beside The humblest hearth than loneliness in fame. I ask no more than just to bide with you, To blend a little gladness with the rue, And, when my clay is mingled with the dust, To dream of our delight the ages through. —Frank Putnam in National Magazine. J'1111111(Illilllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllillllllllllllllilll( 1 A DARK MISTAKE = It Is Unsafe to Make Love With- out Seeing the Object of = Affection. ;7t11llflllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllfr "No use burning all these lights down here. 1'11 just have to fill them in the morning, and no use making me work for nothing," and the old sexton turned down the one lamp burning in the chandelier in the room and went out, leaving the door ajar. The light flickered for a few moments until an outer door was opened, and then, with one bright flash, It died out. Up stairs there was much laughing and talking as the busy hands put the finishing touches to the church decora- tions for the morrow. "There. I think that is as well as we can do," and Nellie Collier stepped back to survey the work. "We need a small piece of rope to reach across that seat yet, doctor," she said, turning to Dr. Graham, wbo was standing beside her. "Two of those letters in that cen- ter metto are crooked. You straighten them, please, while I get the rope. I know where there is a piece that will just do," and she hurried down the stairs and ran against Mr. Pitcairn as he was entering his study. "Whew! Dark as can be," she said half aloud as she entered the small an- teroom and felt her way over the closet under the stairs. Mr. Pitcairn went into his study, his thoughts in a tumult. For months Nel- lie Collier's laughing face had been haunting him, and he often found that his eyes rested on her when he was preaching. He waited a few 'minutes and then met the little white robed figure as she was about leaving the room. "Nellie, I want to tell you some- thing," he said, taking bold of the hands which were full of rope. "I have been wanting to tell you for a long time that I love you. I don't think that you can be surprised, for you must have seen that I love you dearly, and I hope that it has not been distasteful to you, has it?" There was no answer, but there was no attempt to withdraw the hands that he held. "I am not an adept at lovemaking, darling. Will you be my wife, Nellie?" "I never thought that you cared for me," she murmured. "Von never no- ticed me much, and I thought you cared for others," came in a low voice. "I must have hid my feelings more than I thought, but it was because I loved you so that you thought -that I neglected you. A minister is watched so much and bas to be so very careful. But can you love me, darling, enough to be my wife?" He could scarcely hear the answer, but he suddenly clasped her in his arms. No tnatter what happened for a few minutes. It was the first time that be had been in love, and the room was dark. He remembered afterward that he even then felt surprised to find that she was so small. "I must be going, darling," he said at last as he heard some one entering the next room. "There is a commit- tee meeting in my study. I will come up stairs as soon as I can," and, giv- ing her a last kiss, he hurried from the room. He was in no humor for a business meeting, and the good brethren must have thought that their young minis- ter was growing frivolous, he seemed so light hearted and laughed several times when they were discussing im- portant business. The truth was he scarcely knew what was said or done, and as soon as the last one had depart- ed he hurried up stairs. Nearly every one had gone, but Nellie, "his Nellie," was busy arranging some last flowers in a vase, and Dr. Graham was stand- ing beside her and whispering some- thing to her while she just shook her head and laughed. Nellie merely glanced up as he ap- proached. "What d 0ou think of ythe decora- tions?" she asked. "They are fine, very fine," he answer- ed, trying to meet her glance, but she had turned back to Dr. Graham, and for a moment he was angry. "Pshaw! How unreasonable I am," he said to himself. "How much more thoughtful she is so as not to attract attention!' So he walked away until he saw her preparing to leave. "Are you ready to go now?" he asked in a low tone. "Do you want to take this basket along?" "Why, yes—but," she hesitated an instant, "Dr. Graham will help me _,_with my things." He suddenly dropped the basket. "Why, Nellie; it is my place, not that fellow's," be exclaimed. Nellie Collier's face flushed. "I do not see how you can claim that right. any more than you have to speak of Dr. Graham in that manner," she said haughtily. "Why, Nellie, I think that what pass- ed between us this evening would cer- tainly give me the right" "Why, Mr. Pitcairn, what could pos- sibly have passed between us? You must be laboring under some mistake," she exclaimed in surprise. "I saw you when you came into the church and had scarcely spoken to you until you came here a few minutes ago." "What do you mean, after what was said in the anteroom when you were after rope?" "Mr. I iiratirn, if you had any conv cation with any one down stairs it c tainly was not with me. I went do after rope, but I was not gone two m utes, and you must remember that was not the only one who had bee down stairs after things, and if y have made any arrangement's to a company a young lady home this eve ing it was not with your humble se ant," and her black eyes danced mer ly, and he knew that she was enjoys his discomfiture. Mr. Pitcairn grew pale. "I'll forgive you for calling Dr. Gr ham a fellow if you don't do it agal for he is"—she hesitated and blushed "a very particular friend of mine, an you and I have been such good filen that I will tell you a secret—we are e gaged." "Oh, you little torment! I might ha known that you would try"— he e claimed, his face all aglow. "Why, Mr. Pitcairn, how could yo have known it, when we did not kno it ourselves until this evening? And don't know what the doctor will say t my telling you." Mr. Pitcairn staggered back again a seat. "I—I wish you every happ ness," he stammered, then he turned t examining the flowers until after the had left the church. He felt dazed, an he certainly pinched himself to see tha he was not dreaming as he went dow stairs to his study. "A pretty kettle of fish I've got into, he exclaimed, as be threw himself int a chair and kicked the footstool whic Miss Reynolds had made across th room. "Lost the girl I wanted and en gaged myself to something I don't want, and I haven't any Idea who it is!" He lit a match and went over to the anteroom. There lay a piece of rope on the floor and beside it a daintily per- fumed handkerchief. He picked them up and went back to his study. He re- membered now that he noticed the scent of violets as he held her in his arms. It cost him a struggle to give up Nellie Colder. He sat and thought un- til long after midnight. He studied over all the Nellies of his congregation. There was Miss Reynolds, but she was too stout, he thought, with a great sigh of relief; Miss Mattern was too tall. It was some one whose head just reached his shoulder. He had called her Nellie, he was certain of that, with some love epithets thrown in. She was small and dainty and, whoever she was, evident- ly loved him. If he found she was some one who would not suit him, well, he'would have to get out of it in some way. But, whoever she was, her presence seemed to haunt him as he sat there. He could feel her arms around his neck and the pressure of her head against his shoulder, and he felt an intense longing to again hold the little white robed figure in his arms and feel her warm breath on his cheek. And he—(signified minister that he was— picked up the handkerchief and kissed it passionately. He scarcely knew how he got through the next day. He was thank- ful that the services were such that he did not have to give a regular ser- mon. He studiously avoided looking at the choir, where Nellie Collier was sitting, until near the close of the evening services, when, while Elinor andever was singing a solo, he turned tat way, and for a moment their eyes et, her voice faltered for an instant nd then rang out clear and sweet. He early let the hymnbook he was hold - g fall to the floor in his surprise, and sudden feeling of relief came over m. Elinor 'andever! He had never ought of her, and yet he knew that r pet name at home was Nellie. She d always been so reserved that be d never dreamed that she would re for him, but there was no mil- king that look. "What a dear little thing she is. I n't think that I will want to give her I—I have been very fortunate," said to himself as he met her at the. of of the stairs and drew her little nd on his arm. "Last evening you dn't"— He paused a moment. "You—you were not angry?" she hispered anxiously. "You were busy lking to Nellie Collier, and Aunt Min- e was ready to go, and I didn't know w to get out of not going along with r.

"Well, if I didn't have you last night I have you tonight," he said tenderly, pressing the little hand to his side.— Chicago News. The Outlook For Iron. Looking at the future from a prac- tical standpoint it is not difficult to see where we can put 10,000,000 tons of iron next year and 20,000,000 tons a year or two later. The larger part of two hemispheres has to be gridironed with tracks, heavier rails are to be introduced on 400,000 miles of existing track, a thousand ships have to be built as soon as the overcrowded ship- yards can build them, 1,000,000 steel freight cars must supplant a million wooden cars, thousands of dangerous wooden bridges mast be displaced by steel bridges and stone arches, cheap wooden fences by the millions of miles will be supplanted by galvanized wire fences. Structures, including mills, shops and factories, must be made of steel and glass, and our dwellings will soon be made with a larger admixture of iron.—Rocky Mountain News. Postal■ Containing Your Photographs. Attempts have been made from time to time to produce satisfactory sen- sitized postal cards. This has been until recently unsuccessful, but now there is on 'the market the velox postal, which fills practically all re- quirements. The manipulation is the same as for velox paper, and one can now make one's own pictorial postais with a minimum of trouble. The cards are of a nice thick quality, are easy to write on and are pleasant to handle. The cost is trifling and the possibil- ities of this class of work are great,. especially when illustrated postale,' which have obtained such °a vogue in; foreign countries, are just beginning' to become popular in this country.— Exchange.

Aim, Thea Pull Trigger, and the Pio. tare Is Taken. In the study of the problem of me- chanical flight an investigation of the methods of birds on the wing, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, is looked up- on as of great value, but because of the difficulties in the way but little can be learned. Photography is regarded as the only means by which the sub- ject can be reached, and the Aeronau- tical society some time ago offered liberal money prizes for good pictures of birds in flight. This has brought out many pictures, but for satisfactory observation a great number is neces- sary. A serious drawback in securing such views is that it is necessary to CAMERA BUILT LIKE A (GUN. take these pictures in a haphazard way and at long distance, so that it frequently happens that the camerist does not get the subject on his plate at all, or if he is successful in this respect the object is so small that it is not of much value. A camera mounted on a gunstock, the invention of Benjamin D. Sheffield of Livingston, Mon., promises to rem- edy all this. By its use moderately large views of birds on the wing will be secured, and there will not be the least difficulty about getting the object squarely on the plate. A student go- ing after these views will start out just as the gunner does, except that his cartridges will be sensitive plates, but he will enjoy all the thrill and delight which the gunner experiences without any of the horror of taking life. This gun camera, of course, is ap- plicable to auy moving object as well as birds, but it is in this latter field that it will be of the greatest scientific value. It is operated in every way like a gun, having two sights and two triggers. One of the latter sets the shutter, while the other makes the exposure. As it can be accurately alined, a nar- row angle lens can be utilized, by means of which the object on the plate is greatly enlarged as compared with a picture taken with the ordinary lens. Niagara Under Searchlights. The coming Pan-American exposition which is to be 1.ield in Buffalo will be the occasion of what will doubtless be a most brilliant and startling illumi- nation. The idea is to erect a series of tall towers on both the American and Canadian sides of Niagara river. On the top of these lofty spires huge electric searchlights will be placed in such manner that they may be played on any part of the falls. The imagination may picture the dazzling effect that will be produced when a score of those powerful instruments of illumination are brought to bear upon the rushing waters as they tumble irresistibly over the rock ledge into the depths beneath. A constant change of colors will be used in the manipulation of the search- lights, so that now the falls will be like molten silver, again a flood of crimson, again as green as old ocean Itself, and so on through the whole gamut of colors of the painter's pal- ette. The astonishing effect will be still further heightened by the use of electric arc lights in the Cave of the Winds, which will give to the water as it falls in front of it a weird, phos- phorescent glow. The power of this record making illumination will be all within easy reach, as Niagara will it- self be made to do all the necessary work.—Electricity. Physics of Air and Sunshine. In the current number of Temple Bar the Rev. Mr. Bacon says that the best preventives of disease are cleanli- ness and the access of sunlight and fresh air as being the agents most powerful in the suppression of bac- teria. Large towns in Britain have each their true west end, for, the west- ern and southwest winds being those that mostly prevail there, it fellows that during a large portion of the year the smoke and fog drift away to the east and northeast, leaving the west clearer and purer. The writer claims British weather is at once the most capricious and at the same time the best adapted to vigorous and healthful enjoyment of life. The Briton is a stranger to the long ordeal of unvary- ing southern skies, the breath of pesti- lential air and the stroke of sun or ague. The face and physique of the typical Britisher are the true weather marks of his climate. Dangers or Hypnotism. Dr. Roft says that in a review of the medico -legal aspects of hypnotism it is Important to know whether the hypno- tized can be injured physically or men- tally by hypnotization and whether they can fall victims to crime. Sum- ming up a number of cases cited as bearing on the former question, a writ- er says that hypnotism 1s now general- ly conceded to be a pathological and not a physiological condition; that its use, when resorted to too frequently, is liable to bring on mental deteriora- tion, that it may be the cause of chron- ic headache or of an outbreak of hys- teria, that at times it has an undesira- ble effect upon pre-existing mental dis- ease and that in some cases it may even produce an outbreak of insanity.

Professor Hutchinson, F. R. S., re- S ports the case of a lady who could not take tea because it made her feet icy cold and wet with perspiration. She thought that the soles were chiefly af- fected and that the hands were also' made cold, but not so markedly as the feet. Mr. Hutchinson had long been familiar with the fact that tea made the feet of some persons cold, but did not know that cold perspiration attend- ed it. He believed the coldness to be caused by contraction of the arteries,' inasmuch as the feet shrank. Alcohol bad usually an opposite effect. State of Minnesota, county of Dakota.

The Way One Should Lie In Bed In Order to Obtain Natural Repose: -4 Various Ailments and the Postares Best Adapted to Them. Positions that woo sleep in victims of insomnia is an interesting study made by a well known metropolitan physician, Whitman V. White of I Brooklyn. Dr. White is a specialist on nervous diseases and in a mild but emphatic manner scores his pro- fessional brethren for their free admin- istration of narcotics. He denounces the practice as unnecessarily taxing on the disorganized systems of insom- nia patients in many cases. In his own experience he has found a simple method adequate without weakening after effects likely to produce increas- ed symptoms. "Through a study based on the laws of physiology in human auatomy ex- tending over a period of a dozen or more years I have learned that under certain physical rualconditions," said the physician, "the subject may be given relief by assuming positions at rest that will from the ease afforded the affected parts serve as a natural somnolent agency. It will be readily understood that a constrained position will tend to prevent natural repose, while a comfortable one will woo it. But what may In most cases seem to be a position of ease may in reality be the reverse. "For instance, a dyspeptic will rest more easily lying on the right side for the simple reason that in that position the food naturally gravitates.out of the stomach and into the intestines, while if lying on the opposite side that or- gan, in its weakened state, has to per- form an lipbill process of digestion. This is amply sufficient to produce in- somnia. "Lying flat on the back, with the limbs relaxed, would seem to secure the greatest amount of rest for the muscular system, whether in good health or illness. Such is the position advocated by physicians generally in the most exha z diseases, and it Is hailed as a sign of rapid recovery when a patient exhibits an inclination to turn on either side. But at the same time there are several disadvantages in the supine posture which impair or embarrass sleep, whether in case of severe or ordinary health. Thus in weakly states of the heart or blood vessels and certain morbid conditions of the brain the blood seems to gravi- tate to the back of the head and to ac- cordingly produce troublesome dreams. I believe that much of that weaken- ing delirium which the physician has to contend with in treating serious maladies is often occasioned in this way. "In persons who habitually stoop in their gait or work, either as a result of the requirements of their occupa- tion or from the course of their physi- cal development, there must necessari- ly be some distress consequent in straightening the spine. It may not be sufficient to cause pain and yet be such a strain as to prevent perfect ease. The result is unconscious rest- lessness, which is the producer of in- somnia. "People who have contracted chests cannot sleep well lying upon their backs. This rule applies especially to those who have suffered with pleurisy and retain adhesions of the lungs. They will find it easier to get to sleep upon the right side and that their somnolent rest will do them more good if they observe this advice. Furthermore, the habit of lying on the heck is the cre- ator of snoring, which much belabors sleep and prevents the subject from receiving the full benefit of its recuper- ating effects. "It is desirable, therefore, in all cases to lie on the side, and in the absence of 'pedal diseases rendering it more de- sirable to lie on the weak side, which leaves the strong lung free to expand, the right side should be chosen. A glance at any plate of the visceral anatomy will show that when the body Is thus placed the food In the process of digestion Is greatly aided in its passage from the stomach into the in- testines. Here the principle of gravi- tation directly applies. Then the fact that the stomach doesn't compress the upper portion of the intestines is still another advantage to be gained from lying on the right side when sleep wooing ease to the entire human mech- anism is under serious consideration. "In conclusion, I wish to refer to some injurious eccentricities, or fads, in sleeping which I have observed. A wealthy woman once came to me for treatment for bad dreams of the or- der commonly called nightmare. Up- on making inquiry I discovered that she was in the habit of lying at rest with her arms thrown up over her head, a position greatly to be deprecat- ed, although it will induce sleep in per, sons who have weak lungs. The cir- culation is thereby made stronger in the extremities, and the head and neck and muscles of the chest are drawn up and relaxed by the shoulders."— Philadelphia Times.

"I have seen thousands of persons die under all sorts of circumstances,' and never yet have I seen one display the slightest fear of death." This re- markable statement was made the oth- er day by a physician who has prac- ticed many years in Philadelphia and who has seen a great deal of hospital service. "It is a popular fallacy," he went on, "to imagine that a deathbed scene is ever terrible other than as a parting between loved ones. The fear of the unknown is never present at the last. Even amid ignorance and vice I have never experienced such scenes as a novelist who strives after realism will Fometimes picture. "When a patient is told that he can- not recover and the end is near, he in- variably seems resigned sto his fate, and his only thought seems to be of those who are to be left behind. This is true alike of men and women. "Those who become hysterical and declare they are not fit to die are the ones who are not as ill as they think they are. They always get well. "A psychological reason? Oh, I don't know that there is any. It's just a hu- man trait"- -Philadelphia Record. A Composite Name. "One of the differences between the east and the northwest," said a Puget sounder, "is the names of places, and the Skikomishes, the Snohomishes, the Snoqualmies, the Wahkiakums and the lot of them give a man funny feelings, and when he runs across Bucoda, on the Northern Pacific railroad in Pierce county, Wash., he doesn't know wheth- er it is Chinook or Siwash or what. But it is none of them—like Kenova, In West Virginia, which is near the junc- tion of Kentucky, Ohio and Virginia, or Delmar, where Delaware and Mary- land come together. "Bucoda is a composite name, and its story is simple enough. When tbe Northern Pacific came in, a town sprang up, and It must have a name. There were Indian names in plenty, but something inore novel was wanted, so Messrs. Buckley, Coulter and Davis, all N. P. officials, put their heads to- gether first and their names later, and the name Bu -co -da was evolved, with an etymology very apparent to any one who 14 at all informed in terminology. Bucoda it has remained, and it is not half bad as names go in the Puget sound country."—New York Sun. The Peculiar Jains. Ernest M. Bowden in The Nineteenth Century reports a chat with Raja Sivaprasad on Jainism. The Jens pay more regard to the feelings of the lower animals than any other sect in the world; will not kill them or injure them; are careful to avoid destroying even insects, sometimes wearing a handkerchief over the mouth to pre- vent any living creature being breath- ed in. It may be argued that this tenderness will prove in the long run fatal to its possessors, handicapping theri seriously in the struggle for life with less scrupulous rivals. As evi- dence to the contrary Mr. Bowden points to the Jains: "Notwithstanding the opposition, if not active persecutions, of bygone times, the one small sect which, more than any other in the world, has taught and practiced the doctrine of 'ahimsa,' or 'noninjury,' to living crea- tures, stands today, after some four and twenty centuries, by far the most prosperous community in a population verging on 300,000,000." Weapons of the Skunk. A skunk once challenged a lion to single combat. The /ion promptly de- clined the honor. "Why," said the skunk, "are you afraid?" "Very much so," said the lion, "for you would only gain fame for having the honor to fight with a lion, while every one who met me for a month would know I had been in company with a skunk." This reminds us of the story about Henry Ward Beecher's father, the fa-* mous Dr. Lyman Beecher, who, when asked why be did not reply to some- body who had severely attacked him In a newspaper, replied that when a young man, crossing a field one night with an armful of books, he saw a small animal and after hurling several volumes at the animal found he got the worst of it, and ever since had thought it better to let such animals alone.— Our DumliAnimals. And the Minister Smiled. The York (Me.) Transcript says that a Portland minister recently called up- on one of the families in his parish. He ascended the steps and knocked at the door. Receiving no response, he was about to depart when he heard a window in the next house open and a woman's voice say, "Mrs. Smith, the minister's at your door." What was the pastor's surprise and amusement when he caught Mrs: Smith's response wafted gently around the corner of the house, "Sb, don't you s'pose I know it!" The next Sunday after service Mrs. Smith met her pastor and expressed ber sorrow that she was away when he had called. A Bright Jeweler. A gentleman tells the following joke on a jeweler: A young man who was on the verge of matrimony. went to the jeweler and bought a ring and left in-' structions that in it be engraved the legend, "From A to Z," which, being interpreted, meant from Anthony to Zenobia. To his astonishment, on call - Ing for the ring the next day he found it engraved like an Egyptian obelisk and on closer examination found the& the jeweler had put the whole alpha= bet "froth A to Z" on it.

UP HEAD ON A BLUNDER. ▪ rrrrr ono Answev "Wins Commends.. tion From a Latin Teacher. "The class in Latin will now recite," said the Latin teacher at one of the city high schools the other day. The members of the class in Latin, consisting of 30 or more bright looking girls, with three or four boys, came forward and took their places. All moved along smoothly until the dec- lination of the noun "donum" was in order, and there was trouble. It was the ablative that caused the trouble. For the benefit of those not acquainted with the mysteries of Latin it may be mentioned right here that the ablative Is "dono," and the pronunciation is the same as if one should say "don't know," slurring the two words, as is so frequently done, to "don' know." "Miss Jones," said the teacher to the head of the class, "what is the ablative of 'donurn?' " Miss Jones gave her version and was told to sit down. The question in turn went down the entire length of the class, all failing, until it reached the last, a boy who had a reputation for baseball and football, but none for scholarship. "Well, Percy, the ablative of 'do - num?'" asked the teacher. Percy scratched his head and despair- ingly looked at his grinning class- mates. "Don' know," he fluidly blurted out. "Right," said the teacher; "go up head." And then the class broke out into a laugh that cost each member ten marks, but none peached on Percy, and the teacher to this day cannot un- derstand what there is so comical in the ablative of "donum."—Chicago In- ter Ocean. LIGHTS FOR BIRDS' NESTS. Some Curious Habits Practiced In the World oeSongdom. Many birds°.suspend theicnests from the branchei of trees, one of the most curious nests of that kind being that of the bays bird of India. It is hung from the branch, with its opening at the bottom, and hangs like an inverted bottle, secure from the approach of - tree snakes and other reptiles. The most curious thing about the bays bird is that it is said to light up its nest by sticking fireflies on its sides with clay or soft mud. There seems to be little doubt of the fact. Dr. Buchanan says: "At night each of the habitations is lighted up by a firefly stuck in the top with a piece of clay. The nest consists of two reLnns. Sometimes there are three or four nib -- flies, and their blaze in the little cells dazzles the eyes of the bats, which of- ten destroy the young of these birds." Perhaps other animals are scared off by the baya bird's electric light, since a writer in Nature records this curi- ous observation: "I have been informed on safe authority that the Indian bot- tle bird protects his nest at night by sticking several of these glow beetlg around the entrance by means of clay, and only a few days back an intimate friend of my own was watching three rats on a roof rafter of his bungalow. When a glow fly lodged very close to them, the rats immediately scampered off."—Our Dumb Animals. , Broken Commandments. The brilliant young preacher, when he makes his parochial calls, endeav- ors to cultivate an acquaintance with the development of the younger minds, thus after a fashion keeping tab upon his Sunday school teachers. The other afternoon, while he was waiting fh the drawing room of a beau- tiful Cass avenue residence for the de- layed appearance of Eisie's mamma, he was entertained by the little daugh- ter herself. Taking her upon his lap, he began a review of the church les- sons that had been given to the little maid of 5. "Can you tell me, Elide, how many commandments there are?" "Yes, sir; seven or eight." "Oh, no, dear; there are ten." "Yes, I know there used to be, but I heard papa tell mamma yesterday that you had broken two or three of them at least, and that would leave only seven or eight, you know."—Detroit Free Press. The Sex of Ships. The word "ship" is masculine • In French, Italian. Spanish and Portu- guese and possesses no sex in Teutonic and Scandinavian. Perhaps It would not be an error to trace the custom of feminizing ships back to the Greeks, who called them by feminine names, probably out of deference to Athens, goddess of the sea. But the English speaking sailor assigns no such rea- sons. The ship to him is always a lady, even though she be a man -o' -war. She possesses a waist, collars, stays, laces, bonnets, ties, ribbons, chains, watches and dozens of other distinctly feminine attributes. --Collier's Weekly. Gold.

The Judge's Aaidialrtt. Some years ago Justice of the Peace Beasley of Missouri was personally in- terested in a lavvsult, being a party thereto. It was necessary for him to make an affidavit and he deprecated the idea of making it before another justice or a notary and depriving him- self of a fee. So be filled out his affi- davit, swore to it before himself, sign- ed it as justice and as witness and awaited developments. He was sure that he would win and thus be able to tax the costs up to the other aide. When the case came up before Judge Kelley, the affidavit was offered in evi- dence and promptly objected to, the reason being given that a justice could not swear himself. "Let we see the affidavit," said Judge Kelley. It was handed up to the judge, who scanned it careftllY for a few mo- ments and then asked: "Mr. Beasley, will you kindly tell me how you appeared before yourself when you swore yourself and identified your own signature?" "That was very easy, your honor," replied Beasley. "I borrowed a look- ing glass and went -through the formali- ties before it." Beasley was somewhat astonished when Judge Kelley sustained the ob- jection.—Omaha World -Herald. An Awful Mishap. Two passengers on an Atlantic liner, one an American and the other an Eng- lishman, did not excbange the farewell courtesies when the steamer reached her pier usual' between voyagers who have occupied adjoining staterooms and hobnobbed during an ocean voy- age. A plausible explanation was vouchsafed by the American. During the voyage the Englishman persisted in fraternizing with the American in a most obtrusive and an- noying manner. Within two days of Boston the Englishman one morning hunted up the American and found him In apparent despondency, gazing sea- ward from the hurricane deck. "Confounded blue this morning, old chap. What's the matter?" And the Britisher slapped his companion on the back. "Matter enough," growled the Amer- ican. "Ship's lost; captain don't know which way to steer. Forgot to wind the compass last night." The Englishman listened with mouth agasfe, then rushed off to tell his friends of the consequential mishap. Evident- ly the gullible Britisher was "pushed along" for some time until he found everybody guying him.—Boston Post. He KneS:PlaYfali.

Caught tke Csar. Peter the Great was once very neatly caught in a trap by a jester attached to the court. The jester was noted for his cleverness in getting himself and his friends out of difficulties. It hap- pened one day that a cousin of his had incurred the czar's displeasure and was about to be executed. The latter therefore presented himself before his imperial majesty to beg for a reprieve. On seeing him approach, the czar, di- vining his errand, cried: "It is no good to come here. I swear I will not grant what you are going to ask." Immediately the jester went down on his knees, saying, "I beseech your imperial highness to put that scamp cousin of mine to death."

Fiddle Butt Stealers. There is a reason wily the Adirok dack forest fires should become more dektructive each succeeding year. Most of The timber there is spruce. While spruce is used for various purposes it It valued chiefly as material for the manufacture of sounding boards for all kinds of musical instruments. That part of the spruce tree which is free from branches, extending to from 20 to 30 feet above the ground, is known as a fiddle butt. As there are no branches in that part of the trunk there are no knots, and when the lum- ber is sawed it presents a smooth sur- face, an essential in the making of sounding boards. The stealing of fiddle butts is carried on as a regular industry by hundreds of men who own small farms on the outer edges of the forests. These men go into the woods in winter and cut down thousands of great spruce trees. They take from each tree only the base log, which they sell at the nearest sawmill, allowing the remainder of the tree to lie where it falls. The branch- es become dry as tinder in time, and when a fire is started by a careless hunter or woodsman they furnish an abundance of fuel for the spread of the conflagration. Many efforts have been made to pun- ish the fiddle butt stealers, but it is a fact that no jury has ever been got to- gether that would bring in a verdict of guilty. It is claimed, with much evi- dence of truth, that a jury has never been selected in that section that did not have a fiddle butt stealer among its members.—Philadelphia Record. No Wonder He Fled. A tall, solemn looking young man entered the restaurant with a mild, apologetic air and seated himself at a 'vacant table near the middle of the room. It was evident that he dreaded to intrude. He wanted to get as far away from other people as possi- ble. He even blushed painfully when he gave his order, and the most casual observer could have told that he was bashful. Just as his dinner was brought to him a buxom looking woman with seven small children entered the place. The head waiter swept the field with his eye, pounced down upon the table where the young man had sought soli- tude, motioned to the mother, who clucked to the chickens, and a mo- ment later they were all around that one table. That young man's face was a serial story. ,_,Oper people entered the restaurant, glanced at the group, smiled signifi- cantly, and seated themselves. "tie doesn't look it, does he?" queried a pleasant faced old lady in an audible whisper. "She looks at least ten yeare older than he," murmured a girl at the next table. He flew to the hatrack, tossed a half crown to the waiter and tried to go through the door without opening it.— London Telegraph. Ingersoll and Delaware. "The late Colonel Ingersoll had but little use for the state of Delaware," said Mr. E. V. Turner of Wilmington. "His aversion had its origin in a statement made by Chief Justice Jo- seph P. Comegys, now deceased. Some years ago Ingersoll delivered in Wil- mington one of his most scatching lec- tures against Christianity. Its delivery stirred up the preachers and the reli- gious people mightily, and the chief justice, who was a man of deep piety, made a public statement that if the great agnostic came there any more he would arrest and try him for blas- phemy. The justice also called the at- tention of the grand jury to the lec- tures. "Ingersoll was, of course, ready with his retort when he heard of what the jurist had said. He stigmatized Dela- ware as a state that had but three counties at low water and only one at high tide; that it was inhabited chiefly by oysters and clams, whose only rea- son for not migrating was that they had no legs. But, all the same, Colonel Bob didn't come to our towu to lec- ture again."—Washington Post. B000111117114. a British Sublets?. It IS an easy thing to become a Brit- ish subject. All that an alien has to do Is to declare his intention to reside within the British dominions on leav- ing his own country, and forthwith he takes out his naturalization papers, is- sued to him by the secretary of state upon his taking the oath of allegiance. These papers invest him with the rights and privileges of a Britisher, ex- cept that he is barred from becoming a privy councilor or a member of par- liament and also barred from a, spting office under the crown. But if au alien be naturalLsed by special act of par- liament passed for his own benefit then he becomes as much a British subject and has all the right* and privileges as though a native.

I had been sent to look up some one in a suburb of the city. The address was a number on Fourth street, but, to my amaze- ment, I found three such streets in the place. The bouse I sought was not in any of them. Tired and almost dis- couraged I turned into a cobbler's shop, and seeing a bearded German bending over a last in the glare of a swinging lamp, I cleared my throat and said: "I beg your pardon, but I am a re- porter of The Sun"— "Well, well," he said soothingly, be- fore I could finish the sentence, "you cannot help dot." I could not continue for a full min- ute, so struck was j by the unexpected philosophy and wisdom of his reply. I could not help being a reporter, and I knew it. When I explained that I wanted an address on Fourth street, and had already been to three Fourth streets, and would like to know if there were any more, he lifted his hammer and poised it in the air for half a minute. "You vent to know if dere is some more of dose Fourt' streets?" he asked. "Vell, I vill tell you. I haf lived here dwenty years, trying to find somedings owt, and I didn't find anydings owt yet." The Elder Booth's Beautiful Read- ing. I never heard any one read just like the elder Booth. It was beautiful. He made the figure stand before you! It was infinitely tender. Some of the passages of "Lear" were touching in the extreme, though he used Cibber's frightfully bad edition of that sublime tragedy. He had some very odd ways at times. We were playing "Hamlet" one night in Natchez, and during Ophelia's mad scene a cock began to crow lustily. When the curtain fell upon that fourth act, this crowing became more con- stant. And when the manager could not find Mr. Booth to commence the next act he looked up and saw him perched on the top of the ladder, which was the only way to reach the "flies" In that primitive theater. The manager ascended the ladder and had quite a lengthy discussion with Mr. Booth, who at last consented to come down on condition that he should resume his high position after the play and remain there until Jack- son was re-elected president.—"Autobi- ographical Sketches of Mrs. John Drew," in Scribner's. Attending His Own Fnneral. An interesting story is told about a French cab driver named Prosper Ro- mieu, who actually attended his own funeral. Some time ago Romieu was convicted of some offense and sentenc- ed to a term of imprisonment. Since then he had been In hiding at the house of a brother. The brother died, and an inspiration occurred to the convict- ed cab driver. Agsrdingly he obtain- ed a certificate of his own death and attended as chief mourner. The fraud might never have been discovered, and Romieu might have passed as his own brother to his dying day but for the fact that at the grave- side there was a policeman who hap- pened to know him. The policeman accosted him and, on getting an an- swer, said facetiously, "This is the first time I have heard a dead man speak." The unlucky dissimulator was haled off to the bureau and has since been sentenced to five months' imprison- ment.

The eating of three blades of grass "in token of the holy communion" was a recognized form of military devotion in the middle ages. On the eve of battle one knight would make his confession to another, and then partake of this symbolical communion. It would not, however, be correct to speak of either ceremony RA "an efficacious substitute" for the sacraments of penance and the Eucharist respectively. The practices do not even amount to sacramental'. They were simply devo- tions in honor of the blessed Eucharist —pions and formal expressions of the individual's desire to communicate sac- ramentally, had the means been pres- ent. It may be, however, that in popu- lar estimation these practices were in some sort considered "substitutes" for the sacraments which were for the time being unobtainable.—Notes and Queries. Knew a Thing or Two. When a boy at school, the late Mr. Ppurgeon took a prominent part in an- swering all questions put to the class. One cold day, however, the teacher noticed that he was so very backward that he remained the whole time at the bottom of the class. This went on for some time and puz- zled the teacher until he noticed that the fire was near the bottom of the dam. He immediately changed the class about, making the bottom the top. He then had the satisfaction of hear- ing all Dis questions fully answered by Spurgeon and that_.. -young hopeful keeping the same seat, the only differ. ence being that he was at the top o, the class instead of thebottom.—Spare Moments. A Sad Discovery. An old woman from Tasmania, sauntering through the chamber of hor- rors at Melbourne wax works, in Aus- tralia, recognized the figure of a hang- ed murderer (George Chamberlain) as that of her long lost son. Up to then the poor old woman had been hoping that her offspring would_turn up at; any time with an affectionate greeting and a big bag of money for mother. Glad Be Lost His Job. Tbere is a certain editor in New York with whom the power of the daily pref." Is such &A:lobby that he raised the sal- ary of a subeditor who snggested a "Sunday special" on "Famous Gradu- ates of the Reporters' Room," and at once assigned his best dressed reporter to interview leading authors along this line. It happened that Mark Twain was in New York, and the editor counted on him as a striking example of the lit - nary value of newspaper training. The teporter was ordered not to spare space for the interview. Yet when the article appeared Mr. Clemens' name was con- spicuously absent. It was this way: Mr. Clemens received the reporter with his customary urbanity, thongh he shrugged his shoulders when he learned what paper the young man rep- resented. As usual, Mr. Clemens was a most elusive man to pin down to an in- terview, but at last the reporter gath- ered his wits and asked the question which he meant should point his article. "Mr. Twain," he asked, "to what one thing most of all do yon owe your marvelous success in literature?" He had counted on "my newspaper train- ing" was the answer. The famous humorist half shut his eyes, thought a few moments in silence and then said decisively, "To the fact that when I was young and very ambi- tious I lost my job." "May I ask what was your job, Mr. Twain?" exclaimed the puzzled re- porter. "Certainly, sir, certainly," replied Mr. Clemens, with great suavity, "I was a reporter."—Saturday Evening Post. Where's Your Dead Spot? Most people have doubted their eyes when at some conjuring performance they have seen a man run needles mid pins thrat pain as he son has hu skin all ov could run without fe else were folded, he would not be even aware of the fact. Physicians tall them dead spots, and the reason that one man can sew his cheeks up while another could not is simply because the former hap- pens to have many hundreds of these spots in one place. These dead spots are caused by the minute nerves which convey every sen- sation to the brain being either absent in these particular places or dead and senseless. But should any one of our readers allow himself to be blindfolded, and then get one of his friends to prod him very gently with a clean needle, say all on one arm, out of every hun- dred pricks he will feel only about 60 or 70 at the most. In the other cases the needle will have touched dead spots. —Cincinnati Enqn:rer. I Grant's Suggestion. An official who quite generally knows what he is talking about was dilating the other afternoon upon the funny hopelessness for all reasonable purposes of many of the little creeks and rivers for the "improvement" of which con- gress is asked to appropriate money un- der the river and harbor bill. "When Grant was president," said this official, "he used to alternately chuckle and fulminate against the ex- penditure of good govefmnent coin for the 'improvement' of measly little streams that he himself knew could never be made fit for any human pur- pose. There was a Virginian who, fail- ing to get congress to stick in an ap- propriation for the dredging of a little stream down in his section, finally im- portuned Grant in the matter. " 'Let's see,' said Grant musingly, 'I believe I crossed that stream in 1864, wasn't it?' "The Virginian, who remembered Grant's crossing of the stream, replied affirmatively. "'Look here,' said Grant after a pause, his face lighting np suddenly, 'why don't yon macadamize it?' "— Washington Post Told of Daniel Boone. "Whar yer goin "Goin west, stranger."

He meant what he said, for the speaker was Daniel Boone, and he sat his horse, gun in hand, on the bluffs where the custom house now stands and gazed across that "crick," the mighty Mississippi, toward the west "whar he wuz goin." This was further back than the mem- ory of the oldeet inhabitant of Memphis extends, but tradition says that it took ten men to hold Daniel to keep him from wading his horse across the Mis- sissippi—Memphis Scimitar.

It's a great pity he could not have lived that other half month. Will Be Superintendent. Robert Carmichael, the large fram- ed and equally large hearted resident of Dakota County, who is so well known in Northfield, was honoied Wednesday by the appointment to the position of superintendent of the new insane asylum just being completed at Hastings. The appointment is especially creditable to Mr. Car- michael as it came wholly unsought and surprised him as much as the announcement dill his friends. Much speculation has of course ariseu as to who would get the superintendency of the asylum. The matter of ap- •pointing such officers rests with the governor and the state hoard for the care of defectives. Mr. Carmichael had been working in the interests of another gentleman who was a candi- date for the place, when the governor surprised him by tendering him the position instead. The board was desirous that he enter upon his duties Thursday, but he secured an exten- sion of time until next week when he wui a'syumo the office. Mr. Car- michael is eminently fitted for the position of superintendent and a wise choice has been made in his selection. He has been a prominent figure of this section, in more ways than cor- poreal, -sand. has the knowledge of affairs necessary for a successful manager as well as the controlling ability requisite in a superintendent. The emoluments of the office make it quite a desirable one, and the numer- ous.Northfield friends of the genial Mr. Carmichael congratulate him on his appointment.—Northfield News, 30th ult.

THE DRUMMER AND THE DRUMMER A Story of War and Peace. BY CHARLES H. DAY. I. -WAR. "Why, you're a Yankee, aren't you?" That was what Gladys Clayton, a lit- tle southern girl, said one morning to a small boy dressed lu blue who upon her approach had half risen to a sitting posture beside a patch which led both to a spring and a negro cabin, within bailing distance of the spot where the reclining uniformed figure was gazing In open eyed wonder on the vision of juvenile loveliness, "Yes, I'm a Yank," replied the boy, instinctively saluting. "You can tell that by my blue." Then he paused for a second and said hesitatingly, "Of course you are -are a" - The boy in blue blushed, and the lit- tle maid, with a twinkle in her eyes, said: "A little rebel. Do you surrender?" "Hardly," replied the boy, making au endeavor to take his feet, but falling back until he supported himself upon his elbow-. An expression of pain swept over his face which startled the child as she exclaimed in sympathetic tones: "Oh, dear, what a pity! You are wounded, and only a boy!" Then, as a reassurance, she added: "You needn't be afraid, Yankee boy. I won't hurt you, and all the gray soldiers are gone away." "Where am I?" asked the drummer boy. "You are on the Clayton plantation, Yankee boy. My mother says that it is 20 miles from nowhere and the fast place that was made." "There's been a big fight," said the boy. "Which licked?" "Mother says that she reckons they both got all they wanted and then withdrew in good order," answered the girl. "Where is your father?" "Licking Yankees," was the reply, with a great deal of energy thrown into the words. "Oh, ho!" exclaimed the boy, and then, in spite of himself, he permitted a groan to escape his lips. "Oh, dear!" said the girl, coming close up to him. "Are you hurt much, little Yankee boy?" For the moment the boy in blue had forgotten himself as he asked in anx- iety: "Please, little girl, have you seen my/ drum ?" The girl looked up and down the path on either side, and at length she discovered the wreck of the martial Instrument. "Here it is, little boy," said the girl, with much dignity. "Thanks, miss," said the soldier boy. "The rebs have shot it full of holes, and it's no good. Throw it away." The girl threw the shattered drum into the bushes. "What can I do for you?" asked the girl, somewhat perplexed at the situa- tion. "I'!! tell you," replied the boy. "And 1 want you to do it right quick. 1 want you to get me out of this 'right smart,' for a scouting party of rebs might come riding this way and capture me - or worse" - "Yankee boy, my mamma would have a fit if she saw you in that blue suit. She hates you all! Let me see - let me see!" Then she clapped her hands and ex- claimed: "I know what I'll do. I'll go to old Si, down at the cabin. He and auntie are the only ones of all the slaves who have not run away to follow the Yan- kees. Si will do anything for me. Be as patient as you can while I am gone, for it won't be long." It was not long that tie lad had to wait, but when the people returned with the two colored people he was quite faint, and gasped: "Water!" "Bring the gourd from the spring!" commanded auntie, who had arrived in advance of her rheumatic husband. The labors of years and perfect health had given the black woman im- mense strength, and the drummer boy was little more of a burden to her than an infant. Gladys ran on ahead to the cabin. Auntie strode on, taking such immense steps that her husband, in a vain en- deavor to keep up, was taken with a fit of coughing and was obliged to take a long rest by the wayside. When he did arrive at the cabin, the boy in blue was snugly hidden away in its privacy and receiving the kind offices of the colored woman. who had had many years of experience in nursing. Now that the wounded drummer boy was made as comfortable as possible, auntie closed the cabin door and said as impressively as if she were reciting one of her best ghost stories: "You hear me, Miss Gladys, an you, ole man? You both done keep yer mouth shut 'bout this 'ere young un. You both all know that the missy at the bighouse isjest pizen on the Yan- kees. n kees, for all she's a drefful good wom- an.

"How far south have you beenP' "Richmond." "Ah!" exclaimed the head of the house. "Long getting there?" "Pretty near three years." "First time that I ever heard that you were in the 'late unpleasantness,' " returned his employer. "Never heard about your adventures in that line."

Just at dusk one night he drove u to the store on the Clayton plantatio and walking into the establishme announced himself and his business b presenting his card, as he said: "I want supper, feed and keep fo my horse, lodging for myself and wi talk business later," A young man behind the counter r plied: "That'll be all right, Mr. Lines. Th proprietor will be here in a moment. Then he ordered a lounging darky t "take the horse round to the barn." The drummer was just going to as the condition of trade when a woma entered. "Miss Clayton, the proprietor," sal the clerk, introducing the newcomer. The greeting of the two was s hearty that the clerk almost fell ove the counter. "Why, Walter!" "Why, Gladys!" That clerk was a jewel. He knew his business. He hurried out of th store to feed the drummer's horse. In inclosing an order for a large bil of goods on the ensuing day, the drum mer in a communication to the ben of the house wrote: "I have entirely recovered from tha wound of the heart. In Miss Gladys Clayton I have found an old acquaint ante, a new woman of the new south, whom I shall have no trouble in bring- ing into the Union.

"When she will, she will, you can depend on't," is a line which many men have quoted of many women. The saying is often unjust, and the woman is often justified, but now and then the cap fits perfectly. Not long ago a fast express was bowling over the sands of Arizona. Just how it happened was frequently explained and never understood, but as the train aped along the side of a parched river It suddenly left the rails, rolled down the bank and landed in three feet of muddy water at the bot- tom of the river bed. Within the cars there was some nat- ural confusion. Men, women and lunch boxes were thrown into a heap, and not an umbrella or parcel was left in the racks. One by one the occupants of the rear car extricated themselves from the mass and sought for means of escape while stanching various wounds caus- ed by broken glass. Every exit was Jammed tight. Just then, in the midst of the doubt and confusion, rose a wo- man's voice in emphatic demand: "Let me out! Let me out! If you don't let me out, I'll break a window!" -Youth's Companion. "Arms and the Man.', A man applied to the college for a eoat of arms, says a writer in the Corn - hill Magazine, and was asked if any of his ancestors had been renowned for any singular achievements. The man paused and considered, but could recollect nothing. "Your father," said the herald, aid- ing his memory, "your grandfather, your great-grandfather?" "No," returned the applicant, "1 nev- er knew that I had a great-grandfather or a grandfather." "Of yourself?" asked this creator of dignity. I know nothing remarkable of my- self," returned the man, "only that be- ing once locked up in Ludgate prison for debt I found means to escape from an U window, PPer and that, you know, is no honor in a man's ectltcheon," "And how did you get down?",said the herald. "Odd enough," retorted t man. "I procured a cord, fixed it rotid the neck of the statue of King Lud, on the out- side of the building, and thus let my- self down." "I have it," said the herald. "No honor! Lineally descended from Sing Lud! And his coat of arms will do for you." A Hustler. "Idler!" said the ant scornfully. "Me?" answered the grasshopper.

The stoves of the Bolivian Indians are curious things. A hole is dug in the ground about 18 inches deep and a foot square, and over this is built a roof of clay with holes of different sizes to receive the various cooking pots. Roasting is done on spits pass- ed through'the holes, so that the meat comes out very much smoked unless great care is taken to have only live coals at the bottom of the oven. The national dish and the common food of the masses is "chupe," a sort of first cousin to the Irish stew. It is a conglomerate, composed of irregular constituents from the animal and vege- table kingdoms, a mess of mutton and such other meats as are available; chicken, fish, fruits, potatoes, carrots, barley. corn, rice, onions, yams, etc., chopped up, highly seasoned with pep- pers and herbs and stewed to a con- sistency of porridge. What happens to be left from one meal simmers in the pot until the next. If the fire goes out, the "chupe" is allowed to cool, but it is warmed up again and a new supply of the ingredients added to the water logged and greasy stuff for the next meal. In the cities, at the hotels and res- taurants where there are French or Swiss cooks, the "chupe" is savory and palatable, but the farther you go from the centers of civilization the worse it gets. One eats it at first under pro- test, then from necessity and only to escape starvation, but finally the stom- ach rebels, and you limit your diet to boiled eggs and fruit, which are usual- ly to be obtained, but the experienced traveler always takes canned meat and bread with him. -Sucre (Bolivia) Let- ter to Chicago Record. STREET PARADE FLOATS. Many Difficult Problems to Be Met In Their Construction. "The making of decorative street floats is a difficult trade," said a New Orleans scenic artist who has had plenty of experience in the line he men- tioned. "There are so many things to be considered. For instance, a float must look well both near and far. It must be able to stand a dash of rain. It must be light enough to go over any kind of street and solid enough to re- sist a gust of wind, and, most impor- tant of all, it must be so constructed that it will appear all right to folks in upper windows. "Some years ago a young designer from the north made several small models for tableau cars that charmed everybody who looked at them. They were certainly very beautiful and nov- el, but when I was called in as an ex- pert I said at once that they wouldn't do. They were designed to be viewed from the banquette only, and from a second story window every particle of effect would have been lost. More- over, a lot of hidden wechanisin Was certain to be discovered at any eleva- tion above 13 feet. "The young artist frankly admitted I was right and abandoned the job. He said it involved entirely too many optical problems to suit him. When I make my drawings for a float, I cal- culate on a visual sweep of 30 de- grees. That goes from the level of children on the pavement to people looking almost straight down from the upper floors of tall buildings. Unless such a precaution is taken the car is certain to be a failure." -New Orleans Times -Democrat. Man and Hie Smoke. Every little while you read that a man 90 years old and still hale and hearty has smoked all his life, but it is nevertheless a fact that smoking is very injurious. Men should be ashamed that they are unable to quit the habit. This is not written by a man who has no desire to smoke. but by a man who smokes a great deal, has tried several times to quit and couldn't do it. When you find a boy who is pale and sick from his first smoke, remember that his father and his grandfather are to blame. It will take thousands of years to reform the world 1f we be- gin now. A boy is as certain to look for a pipe as he is to look for a sweet- heart. His father was guilty of both Offenses before him. -Atchison Globe.

Ilere the water will be pumped 400 feet to the top of a hill, whence it will be taken by gravitation to Lead and Deadwood. The Homestake company has pur- chased several thousand acres of irri- gated land in the Spearfish Talley and has located a large number of mining claims near the original wafer right for the purpose of holding sufficient ground upon which to build the pump- ing station. The new branch of the Burlington and Missouri river railroad running from Dumont to Spearfish creek will connect the pumping station with the main line of the Burlington railroad and will furnish easy trans- portation for feel and other necessary supplies. One of the original water rights is located about half a mile above Juniper gulch,' another on the east fork, about four or five miles above the juuction with the main creek, while the other waters come from Juniper gulch. Consumption of Beer In Germany. According to the statistics puleished by the imperial bureau, the consump- tion of beer in Germany during the year 1897-8 was 1,383,700,000 gallons, while it# was 1,237,000,000 gallons in the United States, 1,192,000,000 gallons in Great Britain. 403.300,000 gallons in Austria-Hungary. 279,000,000 gallons In Beflum. 180,000,000 gallons in France and a little over 90,000,000 gal- - Ions in Russia. Of the- 1,383,700,000 gallons brewed in Germany, more than a quarter was produced in Bavaria, while the Brandenburg. Marches pro- duced about 135,000,000 gallons, the Rhine provinces about 103,000,000 gal- lons, Saxony 94,500,000 gallons, Wurt- temberg 85,000,000 gallons, Silesia 67,- 500,000 gallons, Westphalia 62,000,000 gallons, the duchy of Baden 45,000,000 gallons and the duchy of Hesse -Nassau nearly as much. It may be added that of the beer produced in the Branden- burg province 63,000,000 gallons were brewed in five Berlin breweries, a fourth of this being brewed by one firm. The consumption of beer per head of the population is estimated at 36 gallons in Belgium, 32 in Great Brit- ain, 25 in Germany, 21 in Denmark, 12 in Switzerland, 10 in the United States, 10/2 in Austria-Hungary, 9 in Holland, 5 In France, 31/2 in Norway, 21/2 in Swe- den and 1 in Russia.—London Times. A Unique Symbol of Freedom. A curious custom is observed in the village of Great Bookman, Surrey, England. When the wife of a trades- man goes off for the usual summer holiday to the seaside, one or two ex- pert climbers ascend at midnight to the roof of the house and insert old brooms in the chimneys as a sign that (\ the head of the house has the super- / of the domestic arrangements in addition to his ordinary work. The wife of the worthy landlord at the Crown hotel having departed, no few- er than eight brooms adorned the house.—Pittsburg Bulletin. Canada. issemination of Information re- ga.ding the lake diamonds through the region of the moraine, says Popular 'Science Monthly, should serve the two- fold purpose of encouraging search for the buried stones and of discovering diamonds in the little collections of "lucky stones" and local curios which accumulate, on the clock shelves of country farmhouses. When It is con- sidered that three of the largest dia- monds thus far found in the region re- mained for periods of 7, 8 and 16 years respectively- In the hands of the farm- ing population. it can Hardly be doubt- ed that many other diamonds have been found and preserved as local cu- riosities without their real nature be- ing discovered. If diamonds should be discovered in the moraines of eastern Ohio, of west- ern Pennsylvania or of western New York, considerable light would thereby be .thrown upon the problem of locat- ing the ancestral home. More impor- tant than this, however, is the mapping of the Canadian wilderness to the southeastward and eastward of James bay to order to determine the direction of ice movement within the region, so that the tracking of the stones already found may be carried nearer their home. The director of the geological survey of Canada is giving attention to this clatter and has also suggested that a study be made of the material found in association with diamonds in the moraine. so that if possible its source may be discovered. With the discovery of new localities of these emigrant stones and the col- lection of data regarding the move- ment of the ice over Canadian territo- ry it will perhaps be possible the more accurately and definitely to circum- scribe their home country and as its boundaries are drawn closer and closer to pay this popular jewel a visit in its ancestral home, there to learn what we so touch desire to know regarding its genesis and its life history. Should Coal Give Ontt What then? Are we utterly depend - i eat upon coal so that the wheels of in- dustry will stop and the forests be con- sumed for fuel when coal gives out? Of course not. It is an idle fear. Al- ready we have the beginnings of a new method of utilizing natural energy which will prove eaorntously more ef- fective than coal ever has been and will be practically inexhaustible to whatever extent industry may expapd. -'Electrical energy developed by water power will run the world's industries, furnish its light and heat and be the universal substitute for all forms of combustion methods. Water power is practically unlimited, and it will be utilized more and more in proportion as the need for it arises and as its use becomes at different places and at suc- cessive periods cheaper than coal. The substitution will proceed gradually un- til, when the coal supply finally is ex- hausted, nobody will have anything more than a curious or academic inter- est in the matter, and probably not a ripple Will be produced in the steady onward flow of the world's industry. As the use of water power to develop electrical energy increases to the point of formidable competition with coal electrical stridents and inventors will doubtless bring out improvements mak- ing it possible to store the power or conduct it long distances at small cost, until our factories, railroads and ships can be operated by it, our houses light- ed and warmed and food prepared, all at even less expense than is possible today 'with coal.—G utou's Magazine. Preparations. 'invents by Dr. A. McGill of Cauada show that much has yet to be done before final pronouncements can be made upon the food value, if any, of the flesh bases which in most in- stances form a chief portion of the ni- trogenous' material in meat extracts, the fact being that, as these bases cer- taitlly differ among themselves in food value, it is consequently true of the va- rious forms in which proteid matter occurs in these preparations—viz, as peptones, proteoses, acids, albumens, ete. Dr. McGill's experiments suggest that a part of the nitrogen in some meat preparations exists as urea, the latter certainly having no food value. As to its assumed value as a stimu- lant, Dr. McGill remarks that nature seems to have provided for the prompt elimination of urea from the system, it being also well known that any fail- ure to get rid of it by way of the kid- neys results in serious disturbance of the vital functions and may end in death by uraemia. From the fact that no practical method has been discover- ed by which a sharp analytical line can be drawn between the nitrogen present as urea and that present as creatiu, creatinin and xamtlim flesh bases cannot, of course, be called food stuff, In the proper sense of the term. Malarial Research. Nature gives an interesting summary of the results achieved in malarial re- search by Manson, Ross, Grassi, Big- nami and Bastianelli, and then goes on to Indicate the lines along which fu- ture achievements may be expected. The different species of anopheles should be hunted for, in order to see if these are the intermediary hosts of the different types of malaria throughout the world and what species is most concerned in human transmission. An- other problem will be whether the ano- pheles can be extirpated from a locali- ty and by what means. It seems that the anopheles is confined to small areas, so that "the suggestion of Ross to draw off the water from stagnant pools may not be so hopeless a task ail it would at first appear." HASTINGS, MINN., SATTJRI)AY. JANUARY 20. 1900, Strange Prophecies. Clement V and Pi.iiip IV procured the condemnation of Molay, the grand master of the Templars, to the stake. As he was led to execution Molay cited his persecutors to appear before God's throne, the king within 40 weeks and the pope within 40 days. Wtthiu those respective times both died. Rienzi, the last of the tribunes, condemned to death Fra Mortale. When he had pro- nounced the sentence, the culprit sum- moned the judge to meet death himself within the month, and within the month Rienzi was assassinated. In 1575 Nanning Koppezoon, a Ro- man Catholic. tortured to death during the religious strife in the Netherlands, recanted his extorted confession when on the xray to the scaffold. A clergy- man, Jurian Epeszoon, tried to drown his voice b} clamorous prayer. The victim sum:noned hint to meet him within three days at the bar of God, and Epeszoon went home and died within that time. While at the stake Wishart openly denounced Cardinal Beaton: "He shall be brought low, even to the ground, before the trees which have supplied these fagots have shed their leaves." The trees were but in the bravery of their May foliage when the bleeding body of the cardinal was hung by his murderers over the battle- ments of St. Andrews. — Chambers' Journal. The Butterfly's Pocket. The male butterflies have the proud privilege of a pocket, but the pocket of a butterfly is wonderfully made. It is really an extension of the under wing folded back on the upper side, but it is exquisitely colored and marked like the upper side, so that it Is very hard to detect, and no one has yet discovered just bow it is opened, although un- doubtedly the butterfly can throw It open while he is flying. At first glance there seems to be only white or amber colored silk floss with- in, but examine this with a microscope and you will find twisted ribbons, slen- der rods shaped like a shepherd's crook, others jointed bamboolike and flexible rods and tiny scales of various sorts and patterns. It Is known that insects have a mar- velously keen scent. and it is believed that all these odd little objects are per- fume boxes and that the fragrance so thrown abroad Is a signal call to the female butterfly, which may be wan- dering about In the air. It is, to say the least, a very interesting guess, and there is evidence to prove that butter- flie9 and moths are summoned from distances by odors that we would hard- ly notice.—Philadelphia Times. A Maori Legend. In Cassell's Little Folks there is a quaint Maori fairy tale which con- cludes thus: "Suddenly the father, who had been looking up into the western sky, cried out in a glad voice: `There they are! I see them!' The mother came running out at his cry, and to- gether they saw their two children standing hand in hand far away in the sides of the sky, the two little stars that had not been there before. `Let us follow them,' said the mother, and together they rose into the deepening twilight and fled after their children. "But Pir! and Noko, far off in the sky, saw their parents coming and, thinking they were angry, sped away toward the western horizon. The par- ents followed, and when they reached the highway of Tane that god of light changed them into stars. And now, when the night is clear, you may see two little twin stars flying away to- ward the west and some distance be- hind two larger stars in vain pursuit. Thus forever they go round and round the world, Piri and Noko running away from their parents because they were so foolish as to think their mother did not love them." Not Entitled to a Puff. "I believe the man who was more afraid of advertising something for nothing than any newspaper man 1 have ever seen," said a Chicago news- paper man, "was John Knapp of the old St. Louis Republican. He hated to print a doctor's or lawyer's name for fear be would give a free puff. "One time there was mention made in the paper of a man having died of Bright's disease of the kidneys. Old man Knapp hunted up the copy reader. " 'What do you mean,' be said, `by running in the name Bright in our col- umna? He is not an advertiser in our paper and is not entitled to a notice unless he pays for it.' "—Denver Post. Heartless Critic.

One would be pardoned for thinking that a man who earned his livelihood by working In the fresh air of the country, surrounded by sights delight- ful to the eye and refreshing to the mind, would be far less liable to brain diseases than the man sitting on a stool over a ledger In the stuffy atmos- phere of a smoke dyed city. But if statistics prove anything they prove the worthlessness of that possi- ble supposition, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. More agricultural laborers go mad, per cent for per cent. than any other worker's. It is monotony which excites disinterestedness, which leads to depression, which develops in- to melancholia, which ends perhaps in a cure, possibly ireaaiaicidal act, prob- ably in an asylum. It may safely be said that Sunday saves thousands up- on thousands from the madhouse. It is the one break from week to week which thousands of natures demand. The agricultural laborer, the artisan and other similar classes of workers live on monotony. broken here and there by a small incident which in time becomes itself monotonous- A man perhaps drives rivets; he drives them every day of the week except Sunday; every motion of ,his work becomes mechanical; he has no interest in his work beyond what it finds for hits on Saturday.

Na ture demands a certain amount of bal- ance, and she will have it or be re- venged. Age of the Earth. Scientists are still disagreeing about the age of the earth. They have been actively discussing the subject for the last 30 years, and yet no general agree- ment has been arrived at. The school of Hutton and I'layfair had come to believe that the whole of eternity was at the disposal of the geologists. wheu Sir W. Thomson, now Lord Kelvin, as- tonished the scientific world by declar- ing that the age of our planet must be more than 20,000,000 years, but less than 400,000,000 years. This larger es- timate bas uow been restricted by him to not much mors' than 20,000:010. while Professor Tait grudgingly allows something less than 10,000.000. Sir Archibald Gelkie showed that even the phenomena of denudation which had been adduced in support of the incon ceivably vast antiquity of our globe might be accounted for at the present rate of action within such a period as 100,000,000 years. Sir Archibald, in an address before the British association, now concedes that it is just as well to leave the dispute about the age of the earth to the decision of the future. He still, however, adheres to his belief that 100,000,000 years would suffice for that portion of the history which is registered in the stratified rocks of the crust. At the same time he concedes that there is no reason on the geolog- ical side why sc,entists should not be at liberty to enlarge it as far as they might find to be needful for the evolu- tion of organized existence on the globe. To the end of following inves- tigations which might be turned to ac- count in the solution of this vast prob- lem Sir Archibald recommended a study of atmospheric denudations of buildings, and he urged upon town geologists that they might do good service by careful scrutiny of ancient building and monuments, so as to ob- tain definite measures of the rate of their decay. Lunar Possibilities. The fate of the earth if the moon should cease to exist would depend upon several circumstances, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Her proper mo- tion is now held in check by the earth's attraction, which converts it into a circular motion round us. If we ceased to be, this motion would be in a straight line at right angles to a line joining the centers of the earth and moon. The force that carries her round the sun in the earth's orbit would con- tinue to act, but this would be com- plicated by her proper motion, which again would depend upon her position at the time of our disappearance. If she were full, her proper motion would be added to that of the earth's orbital motion, and if new 1t would be sub- tracted; but, as it is only a thirtieth part, it would not be an important ad- dition. If she,.were in her first quar- ter, it would act in a direction away from the sun and might carry her into space, and if she were in third quarter it would set toward the sun and would probably precipitate her into that lu- minary. If, however, one of the other planets happened to fall in her new track, she would probably become again a moon, or she might fall into one of them and be destroyed. The re- moval of the earth would probably up- set the whole solar system, so any fore- cast cannot be very trustworthy. It Looked Suspicious. •Isn't your neighbor Blinkinoff a drinking man?"

A famous steeple climber was ask- ed if he ever felt fear in his business. "Of course I feel fear at times," he answered: "Fear is common to all mankind. Not to feel fear is not cour- age. To overcome fear is the true quail - t'3 of courage. I divide the nerve force of a man into two parts—the impelling force and the restraining force—the same impelling force that causes a body of recruits at first to run under fire and the restraining force that causes them to overcome for various reasons the first natural fear. So, in climbing, one unused to It is by the natural impelling force of his nervous system afraid, afraid that his legs, his arms, his support, will give way and plunge him down. Shakespeare, who touched on all human emotions, touch- ed on this feeling of fear in high places when in 'King Lear' he pictured Ed- ward at the cliffs of Dover. "The one way to get over the natural fear is by some restraining force from either within or without. 1 remember once when a new boy at sea was or- dered aloft by the mate he trembled with fear and begged to be let out of it. 'Upon my soul, sir, I can't go up there.' This was his first impelling impulse. But when the mate touched hlm up with a rope's end he was at the top of the mast so quick that the mate could not follow him. The pain on his outer nerves brought him to his senses and made him exert his restraining force. So if you happen to be with any one who shows signs of fear in a high place a few smart slaps on the face will bring him to himself. The right medicine for unconquerable fear in a high place is immediate pain on the outside uerves."—Boston Tran- script. An Iron Csar. In the "Memoirs of a Revolutionist," by Prince Kropotkin, the author says that Alexander II himself, for all he was willing to emancipate the serfs, was a man capable of singular harsh- ness and even brutality. When Kro- potkin was promoted and was called with other officers to the side of the czar, the latter congratulated them quietly, speaking about military duty and loyalty. an "But if of 3' yy you," he went on, distinctly shouting out every word, his face suddenly contorted with anger—"but if any of you—which God preserve you from—should under any circumstances prove disloyal to the czar, the throne and the fatherland, take heed of what I say, he will be treated with all the se-veri-ty of the laws, without the slightest com-mise- ra-tion: ' "His voice failed," says the author. "His face was peevish, full of that rage which I saw in my childhood on the faces of landlords when they threatened to skin their serfs 'under the rods.' He violently spurred his horse and rode out of our circle. Next morning, the 14th of June, by his or- ders, three officers were shot at Modliu, in Poland, and one soldier, Szur by name, was killed under the rods." Swept Away by Plagues. Italy once had a plague that killed 10,000 persons daily. Five hundred a day died in Rome. In one year 200,000 citizens of Constantinople died. The epidemic of 1347-9 was the worst ever visited on man. In Asia 23,000,000 per- ished by it and in Europe 25,000,000. In London 200 persons were buried daily in the Charterhouse yards. It was called "black death" The plague in England in 1471 destroyed more peo- ple than the continual wars for the 15 preceding years. "Sweating sickness," prevailing in England for three years, killed half the population of all the capital towns and depopulated Oxford. It was mortal in three hours. The great plague of Lon- don in 1664 carried off 100,000 people. A transport with soldiers on board, from Sardinia to Naples, brought a plague that destroyed 400,000. An epi- demic started in Marseilles by a ship from the Levant killed over 80,000. Clever Advertisers. A clever advertising scheme was em- ployed by a firm in a southern city. Tile junior partner of the firm swore out a warrant for the arrest of the sen- ior partner on the ground that be was selling goods below cost and that the firm was constantly losing money thereby. The case came up in court, and the counsel for the senior partner asked for a postponement in order to have more time to prepare his case. The judge granted the request, bail was fixed and the senior member released. As he left the courtroom the junior partner arose and exclaimed, "If be is released, the sacrifice will go on!" The news soon spread, and the firm did a better business. When the case was again called, no plaintiff appeared, and the charge was dismissed. The firm had succeeded in their object—advertisement. He Fired. During the siege of Pueblo by Santa Anna, Captain Kendrick of the artil- lery, later professor at West Point, was in command at Fort Lorento, over- looking the city, when Colonel Childs, the commander of the American forces stationed in that vicinity and who was an excitable man, rode at a mad gallop into the fort and cried: "Fire at once! The crisis is coming!" The battery opened fire, and amid the smoke and roar of the cannon an officer, seeing no enemy, asked Kendrick what he was firing at. He calmly replied, "At the crisis." There is none made so great but he may both need help and service and stand In fear of the power and un- kindness even of the meanest of mor- Ws- DANGERS ortftls- Ls DANGERS OF KISSING. Dentists Show Why the Habit Should Be Abolished. "Decay of the teeth, or, as we call it, caries of the teeth," says a dentist, "is due to the presence of bacteria. Bac- teria can be conveyed from mouth to mouth by kissing. Therefore no mat- ter how fine a set of teeth you have, 1f you kiss a person who has decayed teeth you will soon need my services. A young woman whom I know and who by inheritance possessed a mar- velously perfect set of teeth, was ro- bust and of extremely cleanly habits used to come to me and have her teeth cleaned when only the closest scrutiny could depot the stains which she wish- ed removed. Up to the age of 19 she never needed a filling. About that time she brought to my office a young man whom she Introduced as' her fiance. He wished my professional services, and I gave to him an appointment. An examination disclosed a filthy mouth. It was necessary to use corrective agents before I could tolerate him. Had it not been that he was engaged to marry a girl whom I knew to be ideally hygienic, I should not have giv- en to the cleansing of his teeth the amount of attention which I did, be- cause I recognized in him a man care- less of his teeth and breath, who would be unappreciative of my efforts. It re- quired three sittings to get his teeth into a semblance of cleanliness, and then he refused to have the gaping carious caverns filled. I remonstrated. I spoke of the perfect teeth of his in- tended. He laughed carelessly and asked what difference It made to her. I explained. I could do no more. They were married, and before a year elaps- ed I was obliged to insert seven or eight fillings in her teeth. She now has a full set of artificial teeth. "I knew a young man who had his teeth ruined by keeping company with a girl who had unclean teeth. She was good looking. but he did not marry her —something prevented. His teeth have not decayed since." Op to Date Mall Collection. Patents relating to improvements in postal facilities are one of the most prolific classes.

It is a system of receiving and delivering mail for use in towns in conjunction with horse and wagon col- lections and is designed to enable the postman to make his rounds accom- plished by attaching the mail boxes to their supports with a yielding fasten- ing of some kind, such as a chain and weight.

It is then locked and gently lowered into its original position on the post. The Lite of Timber. Oak piling in salt water sometimes lasts no longer than nine years, but it has been known to survive 40 years. In fresh water its life ranges from 8 to 30 years, with an average of 20; in dry land oak lasts from 8 to 20 years, with an average of 12 years. Cedar is good for 20 and chestnut from 12 to 40 years. One may ask why it is there is such a difference. One answer Is the mineral ingredients of the soil af- fect the timber. In bridge timbers which are kept free from dirt accu- mulations oak has been known to last* as long as 50 years. Yellow pine, if unprotected, runs all the way from 8 to 20 years, white pine from 8 to 18 years, Norway from 8 to 10 years, spruce from 5 to 10 years, fir from 10 to 20 years. Vertical timbers are found to last nearly twice as long as horizon- tal timbers. How to Make Hair Grow. Balser in the Semaine Medicate rec- ommends lactic acid as a remedy for baldness.

The Old Man Had Changed. A Lancaster county man once came to a Philadelphia portrait painter with a request that be paint a picture of his father. "Very well," said the arti:St; "have the old gentleman come in when next in town, and I will give him a sit- ting." The man replied: "He gan't do dot; he is daft." "Oh, well, then, you have a photo- graph of him?" "No; I don't got no fottograf of him eider." 'Well, how do you expect me to paint the portrait of your father when I can- not see him and have nothing to give me an idea of his appearance?" "Vell," he replied, "I dinked maybe of I dolt you about him you gan baint him from dot." "All right," said the artist, "describe him." "Veli, my fadder was not so dull and not so short; he vas not fat and not so din." And so the honest fellow pro- ceeded to describe his father as he re- called him. The artist undertook to paint the pic- ture, knd in due course it is completed, and the Lancaster county man comes in to view the results of the artist's ef- forts. As the canvas is disclosed he gazes long a,nd reverently upon the pic- ture of his departed parent. Then be feelingly remarks: "Yah, dot is mine fadder! Mine fadder vat 1 loafed so much! But, ach Kimmel, ladder, how you haf changed!"—Philadelphia Times. A Beautiful System. The Memphis Scimitar tells of a re- cent bride whose husband noticed that she was keeping an itemized account of the household expenses. In looking it over one day he noticed at the bot- tom of each page or two the letters "D. K. W." This somewhat puzzled him. He really found it very difficult to keep from thinking about what these letters could possibly mean. It occurred to him that possibly his wife was saving out some money to buy something for him. But then be knew that 111s Initials were not "D. K. W," and this did not prove a satisfactory solution to the matter. So one day when his wife 1i -as in a real good humor he took her in his arms and asked what she meant by "D. K. W, 50 cents," "D. K. W., $1" and the like. She replied: 'D. K. W.' stand for 'don't know what.' Whenever I went to balance my account at the end of each page and found 1 had spent mon- ey for which 1 could not account, I just put in a sufficient amount, with the item 'D. K. W.,' to make it balance just exactly." Fast Driving In Remota. In the larger cities of Russia there is no limit to the speed at which a horse may be driven through the pub- lic streets. The typical harness horse is the Orloff, a breed founded by Count Orluff-Chemenski, being a cross be- tween the Arabian stallion Smetanka and imported mares, principally Eng- lish. ..An average roadster is 16 hands high and weighs 1,100 pounds, with heavy mane, a bushy tail that reaches nearly to the ground and "iron" limbs that show great muscular development. The favorite color—le gray. Such an animal is driven through the principal streets of St. Petersburg at a furious pace, that portion near the center and beside the surface car tracks being re- served for fast driving. During the winter months teams of two and three abreast are driven to sleighs at a three minute gait. There is racing all winter, the courses being flooded at night to provide three inches of solid ice. American pneumatic sul- kies, harness, boots, gaiting appli- ances, etc., are in general use. Lord Lansdowne Visits Turner. No one was admitted to Turner's house in Queen Anne street unless spe- cially invited. There was a sort of lit- tle iron grille in the center of the front door, through which the old house- keeper used to look and see who was there. As an example of the rarity of visitors the late Lord Lansdowne, who was a great lover of art and a friend of Turner's, told me that after receiving no answers to his letters be resolved to beard the lion in his den. He there- fore went and knocked at the door, when a shock head appeared at the iron grating, and its owner called out, "Cat's meat, I suppose?" "Yes, cat's meat," answered his lordship and squeezed himself in.— "Millais' Life of Turner." The Aged Minister. If his work be in a city church, it is a grave question whether any min- ister can now discharge it with - effi- ciency who is much above 50 years of age. The multitude of details in a city parish, the excitement of the life, the severe demand upon the mind and the heavy burden of responsibility call for a man in the prime of life, with an alert intellect and an unfailing body.—Ian Maclaren in Ladies' Home Tournal.

The St. Paul Carnival Association has very sensibly abandoned its ice palace scheme. "Linder Helm," the beautiful home of our worthy town clerk, Peter Thompson, was the scene of a very pleasant social function last Friday evening. A party of about sixty friends and neighbors accompanied by Black's Orchestra from Hastings surprised the genial host and hostess. Though taken by surprise they were equal to the occasion and assisted by their accomplished daughters, they entertained their guests right royally. The young and nimble footed tripped "the light fantastic" while the older and more dignified engaged in that fascinating game known as cinch. All voted the party a grand success and went away happy. -Cottage Grove Cor. Stillwater Gazette. Ed. Lundberg has at present under construction a very unique row boat. It is being made of corks split length- wise through the centre, and then glued end to end. Ou each side of the corks will be heavy- canvas, and in order that the boat may retain its proper shape wooden ribs will be used, but otherwise no wood will he required in the construction of the craft. The boat will be about seven and a half feet wide. )11.. Lundberg has been working on this boat for two or three years, and now has it about half completed. Besides being a novelty, it will no doubt be one of the lightest boats on record. -Red Wing Republican. A few weeks ago they dedicated a fine new schoolhouse at Hastings, and in order that the thing might be done up in proper shape there were several speakers from abroad, and among one Ignatius Donnelly; you may have heard of him. We took pleasure in reading the speeches, all of them, which old Todd published in The 'Hastings Gazette. They were all good, first-class. But Donnelly spoke of the pioneer days, and he said tbat in 1858 he visaed Glencoe, and that -they told him there that at that time plenty of buffalo were to'be found nine miles west of there. Now where are they? -Granite Falls Journal. Mrs. H. W. Topping gave a large progressive euchre party yesterday afternoon at her home on Summit Avenue for Mrs. G. F. Smith, of Hastings. The rooms were charm- ingly arranged, the floral appoint- ments being very artistic. The fire places were filled with hyacinths, their spring-like fragrance pervading the rooms. Jars of American beauty roses were placed about and palms and ferns added a deep green back- ground. -St. Paul Dispatch, 11th. The state prison population is up to five hundred and forty-three, the highest in years, not excepting the time when there were about one hun- dred United States prisoners. In three weeks the additional binder twine machinery will be ready for use. Then it will be necessary to draw the force now at work in the shoe shops to make up the twine factory force, as there will not be enough available men without so doing. -Stillwater Gazette. One of the men is John Ivan, who was sent to the prison for life, Mar. 28th, 1895, for the murder of a policeman at Hastings. He has not worked for two years. He keeps a diary written in Polish very neatly, and is a Curiosity. He has a re- ligious delusion and two years age, believing he ought to be crucified, pounded a nail through his hand. He says his diary contains prayers made every second day. -Stillwater Gazette.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Carmichael and W. J. Yanz visited the Anoka asylum last Saturday, and were pleasantly entertained by Supt. John Coleman. They found that institu- tion somewhat farther advanced than ours, and it is expected to receive patiests there the latter part of next month. The work here, however, is being pushed as rapidly as possible, and a number of contracts for sup- plies have already been awarded, the Hastings merchants so far receiving the greater portion in competition with the leading jobbers of the state. This is a gratifying showing for our business men. Shpt. Carmichael will move in next week, and give his whole time to his numerous duties. The contract for patting up ice was awarded on Monday to F. D. Hubbard, at $95. Cottage Grove items. Mrs. John Zelch is reported on the sick list. Miss G. B. Wilkins is home for a two weeks' vacation, and will return to City Hospital, St. Paul.

Canadians are very touchy on the subject of climate, as Rudyard Kipling discovered when he somewhat thought- lessly dubbed the Dominion "Our Lady of the Snows." When Arthur Stringer, the young Canadian poet and author, drat went to Oxford, he carried with him letters from Professor Goldwin Smith of Toronto to Professor York Powell, the distinguished historian of Christchurch. The old Oxford don, like one or two other Englishmen, had very vague ideas about Canada and somewhat sur- prised the young stranger by inquiring If he got along nicely on English roast mutton after living so long on frozen seal meat. The young poet gravely protested that he perhaps missed his whale blubber a little, but the next day cabled home, and in less than a week the finest basket of autumn peaches ever grown in Ontario, carefully pack- ed in sawdust, was on its way to Ox- ford. A short time afterward the young author was again dining with the regins professor at Oxford, and that gentleman produced at the meal a fruit dish loaded with tremendous peaches. "Most extraordinary," said the old professor, "but these peaches were sent to me today, and I'm blessed if I know who sent them. From the south of France, I suspect, so I saved a few of them for you, Stringer. They will be such a novelty, you know." The Canadian very quietly took a steamship company's bill of lading from his pocket and handed it to the professor. The professor gazed at the bill, then at the fruit, then at the poet. "I had some whale blubber, too, pro- fessor," said that young man, "but I simply had to eat that. These other things were grown on my uncle's farm in Bent county, Ont., you know. He has 200 bushels of them every year, and he sent me over a basket of little ones along with the whale blubber." - Saturday Evening Post. SALARIES OF OUR PLAYERS. The Pay of Aotors Varies From 010 to as Muck s• afeoo Per Wee*a. Franklin Fyles, writing of "The The- ater and Its People" in The Ladles' Home Journal, touches interestingly upon the earnings of actors and cor- rects the oft repeated reports of the enormous earnings of players. "Sala- ries vary with c-ircumstanceg' he says. "The manager may find at $25 a week a player whose moderate talent exact- ly Sts a part of considerable impor- tance. He may have to pay $150 if the role is singular and fit candidates sessoe. u he wants celebrity in addi- tion to ability, he msy be Ming to maze the eatery $500 a week. In that a ie he takes into a000unt the public AMU of the name -ailed makes adeatnre of it in his advertisements. "Not more than ten actors in Amer- ica, aside from the stars, reeve as much as $260 a week, and not more than five actresses are paid this amounk In fact, $160 a week l-exaep- tlonal, and $100 will engage an excel- lent hero or heroine, a tine comedian or a delineator of eccentrlo character. The wages run down to $75 for a sou- brette, ingenue or old man, to $51) for an old woman, juvenile man or juvenile woman, and so along to utility and chorus men and women at $12 or $18 a week. Those are the wages of thor- oughly competent actors in companies of good grade," Straws* Freak of Fate. Bays the Portland Oregonian: "It is the belief of some historians that the name `Oregon' is Aragon in disguise, that It was given to this country by the early Spanish voyagers and that American explorers so interpreted the word given them by the Indion.. The theory is at least plausible and indi- cates a strange freak of fate. The name Spain proudly brought to this distant coast returned to the West In- dies 800 years later to destroy they power of Spain on the seas! LittIO thought De Fuca when he sighted this coast in 1592 that some day it would build a warship which, under the name of Aragon, or Oregon, would be fore- most in the battle that marked the end of Spain's dominion in the new world." India has perhaps a greater variety of plants than any other country in the world, having 15,000 native species, while the flora of the entire continent bf Europe embraces only about 10,000. Lacked Winning Nerve. "When I was a racing fiend," said the old telegrapher, "I one day got a tip by wire from an operator, a friend of mine in Philadelphia. It read: 'Lil- lian K sure! Get in with both feet!' I fancied Lillian K myself, so I pawned my watch, borrowed all I could and i went to the poolroom. The race was due in about half an hour, and Lillian 1K was up in the entries all right, but there were no odds against her. "So I says to the man at the desk, 'What's the odds on Lillian K?' He looked at me like he was too tender hearted to rob a 'come on' and pitched me over a blank ticket and says care- lesslike: 'Make out your own odds. I'll take 'em an way you fix it.' "That was too much of a jolt for me, and I told him to hold on to the ticket for a minute while I went out to see a man. I went out and took a drink and tried to figure whether the man was four flushing or whether I looked any greener than I felt. Then I came back and tried to get my roll out of my pocket, but it wouldn't come, and final- ly I sat around and watched the report come in, and put me on the blacklist if Lillian K didn't win at 200 to 1, and the only man on it was a little hump- backed shoe pirate with his box under his arm and a dollar in dimes, nickels and coppers." -Washington Star. Irish Trust and Distrust. The most trustful people in the world in money matters are the Irish. A stranger can go into any shop and get a check cashed without the least diffi- culty, though the proprietor never saw him before and never heard of the drawer. Bank notes are very largely used, as almost every bank in the coun- try issues notes worth £i, £2, £3, £5 and upward, and they are all looked upon as being quite as good as gold. But Bank of England notes, even in the large towns, are looked upon with suspicion, while in remote places peo- ple won't take them at all. It is said that this suspicion of English notes is hereditary. From the time of James II up to 75 years ago the law was such with re- gard to' currency that if an Irishman wanted to pay £100 in England he had to remit £118 6s. 8d., while if he were being paid a debt by an Englishman he received only £85. Naturally he thought rather badly of English money, and in the 190 years during which this state of things continued the Irish peo- ple became so deeply convinced that John Bull was cheating them that they still regard the Bank of England as a corporation of robbers. The Jews In Frankfurt. George Brandes thus describes the position of the Jews in Frankfurt, Ger- many, at the beginning of the nine- teenth century: "All Jews Were forced to live in the narrow, miserable, over- crowded Jugengasse (Jew street), their sole abode since the year 1462. At the beginning of night all the inhabitants of the ghetto were locked in. They were not allowed to use the sidewalk while walking in the street in the day- time, but had to take the middle of the street. They had to remove their hats before every passerby, who would call out, 'Jew, make your bowl' "To prevent too large an increase not more than 14 couples were permitted to marry in any one year. On every fes- tive occasion they were driven into the ghetto. On Sunday the gates were locked regularly at 4 o'clock, and no one was allowed to pass by the guard at the gate except when on an errand with a prescription to the drug store or for the purpose of mailing a letter. I One general rule was 'No Jew allowed on a green spot.' " Napoleon abolished this state of affairs in 1810, but it was restored after his downfall. Dates In Orisons, While able to withstand considera- ble frost in winter the date palm must , have a very dry and exceedingly bot; climate at the time of the ripening of the dates. The sandiest and, general- ly speaking, the poorest soils produce the best dates. While it will yield in ' any soil it takes most kindly to other- wise almost worthless land, even that which is white with alkali suiting it. Still, an abundance of water Is at cer- tain periods of its maturing quite nec- essary. Arizona is thought to be a good field for late growing.

The Spanish picket line was sheltered by a group of trees not far away, and occasionally a guerrilla sharpshooter sent a message of defi- ance Prom the high branches. The sergeant belonged to a New York regiment which had hurried to the front almost before congress had officially declared that the United States was at war with the proud old land which had taken the trouble to discover her. "It seems to use," seuiarked the ser- geant as he casually inspected the number of cartridges in his belt, "that this business is growing very tiresome. What we ueed is a little diversion, a little of the romance of war." "Well," replied young De Jones, who formerly marshaled figures on a trial balance sheet, "you'll get more ro- mance than you want if you don't lie a littlecloserdown there." Three or four of the guerrillas had dropped from the trees, and the Span- ish stragglers had been driven back to- . ward Santiago by a rattling fire from the Springfield rifles of the volunteers. The weather was entirely too hot to follow up an advantage gained over a few rice fed conscripts, and Company K was resting a bit and wondering if the commissary department would call upon them that day. "Tetidy" Wilkins was smoking the artistically colored meerschaum which he had brought from home. There Lad been no tobacco in the rich brown bowl for (lays, and the sergeant was content- edly puffing at some of the dried grass of the country. "Hello!" exclaimed De Jones. "Here they come to our pink tea! I wonder how they found out we were receiving this afternoon. Get out the Boston wafters, Sarg, and I'll hunt up the sou- venir spoons." "They" proved to be a slender young woman, who walked with a springy step, end an elderly woman, who was anything but sylph like, who seemed to roll along the brown earth. There was a look of terror in the eyes of both, of them. They advanced toward the American soldiers and held t4heir hands above their heads. "Mercy, mercy, senor!" cried the girl, In broken' English. "Tell them to sit down on the sofa and make themselves at home," sug- gested De Jones. "The young one is rather good looking, at that." Sergeant Theodore Wilkins of Com- ny K bent his stiffened limbs, ad- usted his cartridge belt and went to eet the newcomers. "We beg protection," said the young- er woman. "We have come from the city, and we beg to be spared by the chivalry of los Americanos." Wilkins, who remembered somewhat of his Clendorf, attempted to say some- thing in Spanish which he meant to be reassuring. The girl shook her head and a puzzled expression came into her eyes. "Do not spik a Spanish more, senor," she said. "I have the English very well. I went to school in Connecticut." Whereupon the men who had been engaged in the gentle occupation of ex- changing compliments with Spanish foemen burst into an uproarious guf- faw, to the great annoyance of Ser- geant Theodore Wilkins. "That Spanish of yours is great," suggested the corporal. A lieutenant came up just then. The two women said that they had just come from beleaguered Santiago in or- der that they might escape death in the bombardment which was sure to come. The lieutenant told them that they need fear no danger, for "los Americanos" did not make war upon women and children. He ordered Ser- geant Wilkins and a guard of two men to escort the visitors out of harm's way. Teddy Wilkins was very young. He was so youthful that he had had hard work in getting into the regiment when he enlisted about a year before. He had been educated in a military school, and the mechanism of drill seemed a second nature to him. He remembered as he escorted the refugees through the chaparral that there was a situation in a grand opera which was not so very different from the one in which he found himself. He wondered if Carmen were as beau- tiful as the Cuban girl who picked her way among the fallen branches and the stones which lay in their pathway. Then he tried to convince himself that he knew a girl in Harlem who was far more so. The more he ad- vanced his proposition to himself the more was he convinced that it was ut- terly untenable. "Senor," said the girl, "you are very kind. You are—our very valiant knight." Teddy Wilkins' youth often caused him to speak hastily. He glanced at the young woman's mother, and, being convinced by her look of entire stolid ty that the duenna did not understan English, he remarked in a low an supposedly tender voice: "I wish th you would say 'my' instead of 'ou senorita. I should be very happy you did." The young woman laughed and the checked herself. "Ah, senor," she said, "I have le those behind who were very dear t me. I think only of being reunited t them." "Let me go in search of them!" ex claimed the young sergeant. "I wi go everywhere to find them in order t win even a smile from you." "Senor," _ responded the young wo man, "there is nothing in our Span ish tongue to 'escribe one so noble You are indeed a Sir Galahad, The came with us and were frightene from us. I have no doubt that the have succeeded in also placing them selves in the protection of los Ameri canos. Such is my earnest hope." The girl stepped back in a coquettis way so that the young sergeant migh walk beside her. The more he talks with her the more he was convinc that she was hiding a great sorrow There were lines in the classical fore- head which showed that the young woman was more worried about the safety of those whom she had left be- hind than she would tell even the sym- pathetic sergeant. • Sergeant Wilkins as he walked along felt a violent attack of jealousy. "Your sweetheart perhaps," he sug- gested. The girl shook her bead. "Alas, senor," she said, "not so. If it were a few years ago, I could truthful- ly answer yes." The sergeant was sorry, but at last they reached the rear. The young woman and her mother were taken un- der the protection of a branch of the Red Cross. The sergeant remained near them as long as he could and then reluctantly started back to the front. "Perhaps we shall meet again," said the girl just before he went away. "You give me great hope," replied Teddy Wilkins. "If I can ever be of service to you, no matter where you may be, you must let me know." The girl smiled and said that she would never forget him. The young sergeant touched his cap, and, with one last lingering glance, be went his way. He was so preoccupied on the way back that the soldiers with him ex- changed sly winks and assumed ex- pressions intended to be exceedingly love lorn. Sergeant Theodore Wilkins found lit- tle time that night to think of fire fair senorita. The Spaniards advanced, and it took all the vigor of the exhaust- ed volunteers to hold them in check. Yet even when the Mausers filled the air with weird songs there came to "Teddy" Wilkins the vision of a face framed in dark hair and the sound of a voice which was musical and low. Days of hard fighting followed, and when it was all over Sergeant Theo- dore Wilkins went in search of her who had called him a Sir Galahad. He found her, too, within the protection of the American lines, sheltered by the Red Cross and happy, because she had been reunited with her own—her hus- band and her four children.—New York Herald. 1- d d at r,' if n ft O O 11 0 d y h d ed Cats and Monkeys. All animals, even the wildcat, can be subjected in some way to the dominion of man and be domesticated to some extent. Here, for instance, are two very curious facts about cats. Many persons, including some of our greatest naturalists, believe that our English domestic cat is descended from the Egyptian domestic cat, yet all records go to prove that the cats of Egypt liv- ed in droves, were cared for in droves, were fed in droves and worshiped in droves, with the result that Egyptian cats never got domesticated or became half as intelligent as ours. The like truth is suggested from Id- dia, where monkeys are worshiped. These are allowed to become nui- sances. They are fed, and they have any amount of liberty. And what is the consequence? They never lose their innate savagery. The method of car- ing for them has been wrong. All the devotion and care expended on them are practically wasted, and if we treat- ed our cats in the same fashion as the Indians do these monkeys they would become just as wild and undomesticat- ed.—Cassell's Magazine. A Loving Cup. Naturally some of the ancient city customs are connected with the art of dining. Gastronomy and the Guildhall are inseparably associated. One of the most curious of these is the paarjng of the loving cup, which takes place at all the guild dinners as well as at the banquets of the corporation. The cup is a two handled one with a lid. While one guest is holding the lid the next sips the spiced wine. A third, on the other side of the drinker, stands up. Then, the brim having been wiped by a clean napkin, the cup is passed to the guest holding the lid. He drinks in his turn, while his next neighbor takes charge of the lid. In this way the cup makes the round of the table. This custom dates from Anglo-Saxon times. The holding of thelid was not then an act merely of courtesy, for the guest who held it was thus prevented from drawing his dagger and stabbing the drinker, a playful after dinner practice not uncommon in those times. Meanwhile the guest who was stand- ing guarded the drinker from an as- sault from behind.—Good Words. Worse Fate. He—Is there anything worse in the world that bores you more than flat- tery? She—Only one thing that I now think of. He—What is that? She—Not to be flattered.—Detroit Free Press. Earliest Bird. There is a bird, called the green finch, which gets up at 1:30 a. m.

It was crowded on the avenue, and there was a constant stream of vehi- cles coming and going. At the crossing of two of the most congested streets stood a police officer, tall andcom- manding, irreproachably dressed and with an eye that compelled obedience. When the tide of travel surged thick- est, a little old lady came to the curb and looked out into the impassable stream of carriages and wagons. Evi- dently she wanted to get across. The gallantry of the big policeman took possession of him. He approached her and held up his band. "Don't be afraid. I'll see that you get across safely," he said. The old lady shook her head nerv- ously and seemed more undecided than ever. The policeman cause nearer. Taking her arm, he started to lead her across, stopping the steady stream of passersby in wagons and carts. The old lady hung back, protesting. When the slow way to the other side of the street had been made, the officer re- leased her arm. She looked at him in a dazed way and said with some sharp- ness: "What on earth did you want to drag pse across that road for? 1 had an errand to do on the other side."— Detroit Free Press. The Artist's Hoodoo. "Artists are a queer lot," remarked one of them yesterday as he smoked pensively In his Chestnut street studio and gazed dejectedly at a half finished sketch. "I can't do any work today just because I dreamed of a redheaded girl last night. That lets me out. I can dream of any other kind of girl and it doesn't affect my work, but if the vision of my dreams has red hair I'm no good the next day. "No, it's net superstition. I don't know what it is. All artists have their off days from some cause or other, and some of them have antidotes. I have none. I just give up when the red- headed girl comes across the path of my dreams. "A friend of aline counteracts the ef- fect of his hoodoo by clothing himself In an outlandish way. I have seen him working in an opera hat, the coat of his dress suit and a pair of pink pyja oras, and doing good work at that. An other friend of mine always eats a lot of raw onions when he has a particu- larly sentimental subject to handle. But when it comes to me I just have to give up."—Philadelphia Ledger. The Gentle Art of Winking, "When you have mastered the gentle art of winking," said Lord Beacons- field, "you bold the key to success in your hands." Every one's personality is made up of trivial failings and trivial talents. Foster the good qualities in your friends and subordinates and wink at those failings so dear to their possess- ors. Not to see everything is a rule which will strengthen friendships and help you to get the best results from your fellow workers. "IIe is no good." said the great Na- poleon of one of his officers. "He is continually looking into the privates' stew pot!" "I want a man who can keep his eye on the ultimate result and ignore little failings, never mind how aggravating," said Nelson. And General Gordon once remarked that the man who lost his temper because a private's boot lace was tied loosely on the day of battle did more to lose the day than all the enemy's guns. "Not if it Were My Boy." Some years ago the late Horace Mann, the eminent educator, delivered an address at the opening of some re- formatory institution for boys, during which be remarked tharif only one boy was saved from ruin it would pay for all the cost and care and labor of establishing such an institution as that. After the exercises had closed, in pri- vate conversation, a gentleman rallied Mr. Mann upon bis statement and said to him: "Did you not color that a little when you said that all that expense and la- bor would be repaid if it only saved one boy?" "Not 1f it were my boy," was the solemn and convincing reply. An Undesired AIIy. "How is Mnd Slinger going to nidi In this race? Is he for yon?"

It Will Select Those Sebstances For Which the Body Is Suffering— We Use Entirely Too Much Salt. The function of the taste doubtless sustains a much more important rela- tion to digestion than has been gen- erally accorded to it, says Dr. Kellogg. Food to be digested must be appetiz- ing. Food which nauseates does not stimulate the secretion of the fluid nec- essary to digest it either in the mouth or the stomach. The sense of taste may be regarded as a sort of. regula- tion. Heuce it is an important proper- ty of food that the sense of taste may be stimulated and that it may have an opportunity to exercise its selective and controlling functions. When one has eaten a sufficient amount of simple, wholesome food, the sense of taste informs him of the fact by declining to receive more. A per- fect rule for mastication would be to chew each morsel of food until there is left only a tasteless remnant. It is useless to swallow such a residue, as it can have no nutritive value. When food is taken in this way, the sense of taste has an opportunity to say "enough" before too much has been swallowed and thus affords a perfect means of adapting the amount of food taken to the needs of the body. A careful study of this suggestion will also show that the sense of taste, if allowed to act in a normal way, will select those substances of which the body is in great need. For example, if the blood is impoverished and needs an extra supply of nitrogenous food there will be a craving for such foods as nuts, legumes and possibly eggs and milk or some other substance con- taining nitrogen. A curious analogy to this function is found in some insectivorous plants, which, as has been shown by recent experiments, refuse to rapture insects or pay attention to fragments of meat placed within their grasp except when the soil upon which they grow Is lack- ing in nitrogenous elements. By sup- plying a fertilizer rich in nitrogen these so called carnivorous plants cease to be carnivorous and behave wholly like other plants. The same principle applies to the use of fat making substances, such as starchy and oleaginous foods. such as nuts and i has frequently The wr to cereals. r a craving for ob- served in thin patients g fats, which disappeared entirely after the patient had made a gain of 20 or 30 pounds. The taste was no doubt intended by the Creator to be a perfect guide to the quantity and quality of food to be taken and not simply a means of gus- tatory pleasure. Unfortunately it has been terribly debauched and pervert- ed from its normal function. Men and women treat the palate as the pianist treats his instrument, touching It in various ways simply for the purpose of provoking. pleasurable sensations, with no regard whatever for the possible needs of the body or the possible dam- age which may be caused. The sense of taste, thus wrongly educated, be- comes perverted, and its indications become confused. Abnormal cravings are developed, which demand 'satisfac- tion in the use of tea, coffee, wine and other Intoxicants, mustard, pepper and other condiments, large quantities of salt, pickles and rich and savory dish- es of various sorts, together with . weets, ices and tidbits of all kinds. The sense of taste has been dethroned from Its high position as governor of nutrition and has come to be merely the servant of a capricious and insatia- ble desire for an illegitimate sensa- tion, a purely selfish animal pleasure. This is gluttony. pure and simple, and is the apt tutor and hail companion of alcoholic intemperance. The free use of common salt must 1kewise be placed among serious dietetic errors. Professor Bunge of Basel, the leading physiological chem- ist of the world. with many others, has shown that the so called necessity for the alimentary use of salt rests upon a very uncertain and equivocal, if not erroneous, basis and that at most salt can be used without injury only in very minute quantities. The quantity designated by Professor Bunge as within the limits of possible harmless- ness is about 15 grains a day, or prob- ably less than one-fourth of the amount usually consumed. The free use of salt leads to thirst and copious drinking In connection with meals. Gum chewing, tobacco chewing, the use of tobacco in any form, must be condemned as harmful to the digestion through exhausting the function of the salivary glands, so that when requir- ed to maintain constant activity the saliva secreted by the glands has very little value as a digestive agent. The glands, as well as the muscles and ether parts of the body, require rest In which to store up the elements nec- essary for their proper function.—flood Health. GREAT TRUCK GARDEN. Mexico May Supply U. With Oar Ear- ly Vegetables. From recent developments it is ap- parent that the southern states will not possess the monopoly of supplying northern cities with garden products, says the Philadelphia Record. The sci- ence of refrigeration and the construc- tion of refrigerator ships and refriger- ator cars has reached such a high state that It is now possible to raise fruit, it might be said, in almost any part of the world and carry It to any other part. This fact has been for years demonstrated by the shipment of car- casses from Australia to England by the shipload, where an enormous trade has been built up. The same principle can be applied to the transportation of fruits. A very large proportiou of the product of California is now stripped eastward in refrigerator cars, and some of the finest fruits on display in the east come from that state in this way. The agriculturists in the south have recently had their attention directed to the advisability of diversifying crops by the high price paid for garden prod- ucts. The market garden has of late years become a very important factor in southern agricultural economy. Enterprising capitalists, since the development of Mexico by railroad, have been looking at the possibilities of climate there and have taken steps in some cases to establish plantations for the growth of fruits on a large scale, which it is their intention to ship by refrigerator processes to United States ports and then to inland points. The schemes read well and apparently are well based. There appears to be no reason why garden truck could not be raised in Mexico and delivered safe- ly and profitably to a great many cities and towns throughout the United States. A great many products there are four to eight weeks ahead of the south. Dairy farming has become very profitable. Milk in large cities sells at 25 cents in Mexico; butter at 36 to 48 cents per pound. Labor costs only from 12 to 25 cents a day. Sugar cane turned into brown sugar yields from $70 to $95 per acre gross. Green barley and corn are raised in large quantities for fodder. One Exception.

Gypsy moths were introduced to America In 1869, but the insect is still confined to a limited area In Massa- chusetts near Boston. The first gypsy moths were brought over by Professor Trouvelot, the French savant, who trying was interested in1 toraise silk y g from native worms, and bow they es- caped is unknown. Twelve years from that time the moth was a nuisance in the neighborhood. In 1889 occurred the famous moth outbreak at Medford, Mass. Armies of worms suddenly ap- peared that June and July and seem- ed about to destroy everything green. They gathered in masses sufficient to blacken houses and fences in certain districts and devastated all sorts of t6liage over extensive tracts, killing many trees, and the dropping of the caterpillars on people and sidewalks was most disagreeable. The streets were awful, and the destruction of the trees was greatest in those localities where the moth had been the longest. Frequently the trees sustained attacks for two or three years. The caterpil- lars destroyed not only the foliage and trees, but also fruit and vegetables. When the supply of leaves from the trees fell short, they attacked the gar- dens. Many vegetables were ruined, flower gardens were destroyed, and even greenhouses were invaded. At the close of the year 1899 the state of Massachusetts has expended in the an- nual appropriation for the gypsy moth work the sum of $1,555,000. Naturally Se.

MODERN RELIIIIOUS FANATICS WHO BELIEVE IN THEM. Many Peculiar Sects in the Old World, Particularly In Russia, Whose Members Kill and Crucify That Salvation May Be Attained. That human sacrifices have been made even in the nineteenth century, and by professing fihristians, too, Is brought out by The American Journal of Sociology in a striking article: The Convulsionists, a sect existing in Paris about 1760, were wont to crucify members of their order, In emulation of the crucifixion of the Saviour, in the belief that the souls of the surviving members would be saved by the sacri- fices of their fellows. In 1817 the "Paschelians." an Austrian sect, mur- dered a man, his wife and daughter under the delusion that the trio, who refused to go with the fanatics, were possessed of the devil. On the follow- ing day they crucified one of their own number, a girl of 19 years, who had suffered herself for the death, in imi- tation of the death of the Saviour, in order to save the souls of her fellow believers. In 1823 the leader of a Pietistic cir- cle In Switzerland, after having dis- patched her sister, who gave her life as a means of saving the souls of her relatives, was crucified by her follow- ers at her own command in order that she might die, rise again after three days and restore to life the sister she 18 two mothers,ad- herents in. In 66 had slain. herents of the "Holy Men," slew their sick children, believing them to be vic- tims of demoniacal possession. In 1875 a Hungarian miller, belonging to the "Nazarenes," killed his son as an offering for his own sins after the fashion of Abraham. la 1870, in Ir- kutsk, Russia, one of the "Schismat- ics" convinced himself by prayer and fasting and much Scripture reading that to save his soul he must be cruci- fied. Accordingly he attempted self crucifixion and succeeded so far as the circumstances of the case would permit. In 1830, in the government of Perm, Russia. a peasant killed his child as an offering for sin and buried the body in an ant hill. Likewise, In the gov- ernment of Vladimir, another peasant killed both his children in due Abra- hamic form, and while the babies bled under the father's knife the devout mother celebrated the service by read- ing aloud selected portions of the twen- ty-second d chs ter of Genesis. In 1854, Y P into government ernment of Tambov,Russia, , g a peasant, convinced that to save his soul a man must have a sin to repent of, killed a neighbor with an ax in or- der to satisfy this highly imperative condition. It is a part of the creed of the "Wan- derers," a Russian sect, that anti - Christ rules in high places there and that accordingly good men must have naught to do with governmental af- fairs of any sort. In conformity with this belief a man murdered in various ingenious ways 25 men, women and children, including his own wife and babies, in order to tree them from the danger of losing their souls by suffer- ing the contaminating contact of the government census taker. This occur- red in 1897. The "Deniers," another quite inter- esting Russian sect, believe that evil taints all earthly good and that the only escape is death. In 1825 60 of these men, strong in the faith, after having murdered their wives and chil- dren, permitted themselves to be put to death, one by one, by their leaders. The "Scourgers," who also form a widespread and influential sect in Rus- sia, in obedience to the behests of their "saviors," are in the habit of indulg- ing in human sacrifices, cannibalistic feasts, erotic dances and other lewd procedures as an extremely efficacious method of keeping the hand of evil from off their immortal souls. So the "Muckers" of Konigsberg and the cel- ebrants of the black mass in Paris af- ford further examples of the use of a ritual of erotism, coupled with a prac- tice of the most abandoned and ob- scene behavior, to promote the eternal welfare of the soul. Incense Trade. There seems to be little doubt that the recent decision of the archbishops with regard to the use of incense in Aagllcan churches will have no ap- preblable effect on the trade In that commodity. At most of the Anglican churches incense would be used only four times a year. A very small quanti- ty of incense is required for an entire service. As far as can be ascertained, no Anglican church would spend more than #5 a year on incense, and the en- tire trade is probably not worth more than #000 a year. It is popularly sup- posed that there is a trade secret in the making of incense, but in most casei It is composed simply of gum olibanum; Siam benjamin, cascarilla bark, myrrh and copal varnish.—Lon- don Graphic. Eating and Weight. It has been seriously asserted by many people that we are naturally lighter after a meal, and they have even gone the length of explaining this by the amount of gas that is developed from the food. Average observations, however, show that we lose three pounds and six ounces between night and morning; that we gain one pound and 12 ounces by breakfast; that we again lose about 14 ounces before lunch; that lunch puts on an average of one pound; that we again lose dur- ing the afternoon au average of ten ounces, but that an ordinary dinner to healthy persons adds two pounds and two ounces to their weight.

INOCULATING LOCUSTS. Farmers Can Now Produce a Disease Which Kills Them by Thousands. The locust, or grasshopper, inflicts enormous damage annually' Of late years it bas been most destructive in Algeria and Morocco and in South and East Africa, says the Chico Record, but the United .9tates has of by any means escaped its ravages -Four years ago the locusts of Cape Colony were almost destroyed by an epidemic. It was proved that the disease was the result of feeding on a fungous growth now known as "locus fungus" and that a few insects affected with the tnalady might communicate it to millions. Ex- periments on a large scale have shown that immense swarms of the insects perish in a few days after a number of individuals in each group are in- fected. The culture from the locust fungus is now made on a largo scale in bats teriological institutions and packed in tubes, which can be transported for thousands of miles. It is applied by smearing several insects and letting them rejoin their swarm or by drop- ping the contents of the tube upon bits of humid earth where the insects are feeding. Another plan is to bottle up the locusts with a little of their favorite food covered with the culture and after they have taken their fill to set them at liberty. The new remedy has been tried with great success in South Africa. The tubes are to he supplied gratuitously to planters, mis- sionaries and merchants, and their dis- tribution undoubtedly will save many farmers from ruin. She Had Read About It. One day a boy was missing from a schoolroom in one of the up town pub- lic school buildings. The teacher look- ed around and failed to see the fa- miliar face. "Does any pupil know why Tommy McGregor isn't in school today?' she inquired. There was no answer. The teacher repeated the query. Then a little girl slowly lifted her hand. "Please, ma'am," she said, "I know." "And why does he stay away, Mary?" "Please, ma'am, it's 'cause he's got 'measles inside.

An engineer recently matte an inter- esting report to the British Institution of Mining Engineers on the felling of a huge chimney, which was so high and constructed so strongly that the prospect of demolishing it by the slow and expensive means of breaking it down from the top Was appalling to the owners. The engineer who was intrusted with the task of devising a better way of taking it down decided that he would try to fell it as one would fell a tree, with the exception that, of course, so ellupie an expedient as chopping it down was out of the question. He had the problem also of making It fall to the south, as it would wreck buildings if it fell in another di rection. The chimney was 2"0 feet high, with a base of 21 feet. The workmen were set to work cutting away the brick- work on the southi...Aida _4,. fast. ai were bricks we a taken out they e Y were replaced with wooden supports, which had spaces left in them. After about 40 feet had been cut.j of the spaces were filled with tar anti paraffin. wood was piled up high aroind it. and the fire was set. Six minutes afterward the chimney fell exactly on the line marked out for It. The cost of the work was only a trifle cotnpared with what It would have been had the old fashioned method of throwing the ma- terial down bit by bit from the top been employed. And, in addition, many thousauds of bricks were saved for further use. Movement of Glaciers. The International glacier commission recently made an excursion to the Qrimsel to continue its investigations on the Aar glacier. From 1838 to 1845 Agassiz and his Neuchatel friends dis- covered in the moraine of the lower Aar glacier an enormous block of stone, which afforded natural protec- tion, and they erected there a stone hut which they called the Hotel des Neuchatelols. This "hotel" reeved downward 240 feet in the five years from 1842 to 1846. From 1846 to 1884 the downward movement was 181 feet per annum, and from 1884 to 1899 it was 173 feet per annum. We thus pos- sess an exact record of the movement ofe4he lower Aar glacier during a peri- od extended over 60 years. MOTOR WItGON IIi{[1. LATEST AND MOST ST ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT EN'1' OF THL AUTOMOBILE IDEA. 11111111 1 1-1-14 -1-1-1-1-1-1-1 I I I 1- I I -1 -1 - One of the latest and most origival developments of the automobile is a motor wheel which has recently been patented by J. W. Walters; says The Scientific American. The motor wheel consists essentially of a heavy wheel which is journaletl in a stout yoke or forks, the head of which titans in a socket. The arrangement is similar to the front wheel and forks of a bicycle except that instead of being controlled by a haudle bar the wheel is steered by a hand wheel, shaft and gear wheels, I as shown in the illustrations. To the right hand fork is attached a two cylinder gasoline motor. and two I Endurance of Great Heat. The Golden Penny says that in iron foundries, blast furnaces and steam- ship boiler rooms the artificial heat is so great that it drives out the humidi- ty, and the workmen suffer far less than la usually supposed. In the melt- ing room of the mint the temperature is 106 degrees F, in blast furnaces about 115 degrees and in steamship boiler rooms 1$0 degrees. It is said that 118 degrees of heat in a pure, dry air is not felt so much as a mixture of 90 degrees of heat and 80 per cent of humidity. Although apparently paradoxical, the statement is correct that people would be cooler sitting be- side a redbot stove than they would be in the street on any hot day. Artiaelal Tinting of Fruit. Various fruits are colored on the sur- face or in their substance to suit the fancy of purchasers in France. For example, strawberries that are unripe are given a fine red color by means of a fuchsine preparation, ordinary oranges of poor quality are made to pass for blood oranges by injecting roccelline into their pulp, and melons are rendered of a fine orange color by injecting a solution of tropeeline and at the same time aromatized with an artificial melon essence. At a certain dinner party the pears had the out- ward look proper to pears, but, on be- ing cut open, displayed on the section the national colors of France. 1' pw 141 MOTOR WHEEL ATTACHED TO LIGIHT WAGON. gasoline tanks are carried on the other fork. The wheel is driven through a loosely mounted pilriou, which meshes into a gear that is bolted to the spokes of the wheel, and a clutch Mechanism, the lever for operating which is within easy reach of the driver of the wagon. The two cyliuders are carried horizon- tally, one on each side of the fork, with the crank shaft, upon which is keyed a flywheel between theta. The motor wheel is built in various sizes, from one horsepower, suitable to a bicycle, up to four horsepower for a carriage or ten or more horsepower for a heavy dray truck. In attaching the motor wheel to any existing vehicle it is mere- ly necessary to remove the framework of the front wheels and, bolt the steer- ing. socket to the 'body •of tire -wagon. the motor wheel is applied to a When P1 light vehicle, it is attached in front, thus transforming the same into a tri- cycle. In the case of hansom cabs it is attached at the rear. When it is ap- plied to the heavier vehicles, such as express wagons, coal carts, etc.. two idle wheels are attached to the motor wheel and work in unison with it. One material advantage claimed for this system is that no reversing mech- anists is necessary, the motor always running in the forward direction. If it Is desired to back the car, the motor wheel is turned completely around in the steering socket and the motor start- ed. It will be noticed that as the mo- tor wheel is entirely self contained and has a single point of attachment to the car none of the twisting strains due to the irregularity of the road are thrown upon the motor. Moreover, in case of disablement of car or motor, the ease with which a change of motor wheels from one car to another can be made conduces to facility and rapidity of re- pairs.

Professor Sebrero of Turin has re- cently suggested that eels should be used as purifiers of water. All that one has to do is to put two or three eels, not very big• but lively, into the domestic cistern. The reptiles devour with marvelous appetite everything which the water may chance to con- tain in the way of animalcules, in- fusoria, bird droppings from the roof, vegetable matter of any kind; nothing comes amiss to them. When the eels have fulfilled their mission, they can be eaten a la tartare, or they can be kept for further use as purifiers of the water supply. Such a method of fat- tening eels for the family table may not commend itself to the average British stomach, though these reptiles eat worse things in their ordinary haunts than they are likely to find in a cistern, even within the area of dis- tribution of a London company. But as water purifiers a useful sphere of action might be found for them in res ervoirs as well as in cisterns.—Britisb Medical Journal. THE LOWER SHELF.

Beaches Formed by Driftwood From All Over the World. One of the greatest curiosities noted by travelers in Alaska is the wonderful haven of driftwood on the coast be- tween Yakatag and Iiyak islands. some 1,200 or 1,500 miles northeast from Seattle. The coustant deposit of logs and driftwood in this particular spot, which has been going on for hun- dreds, perhaps thousands, of years. is due to the phenomena of the tides. the Pacific gulf stream, the mysterious ocean currents and the peculiar forma- tion of the shore lines at that point. Logs and timbers are readily Identi- fied there as having come from Japan. China, India and other parts of Asia. as well as from California, Washing- ton and other parts of the American continent. There are fine logs of the camphor tree, the mahogany, the red- wood and the pine in this driftage. Some of those from the state of Wash- ington contain the names of the men who felled the trees and of the saw- mills for which they were destined, but never reached. Logs eight feet in diameter are in this novel Woodyard, and some entire trees 150 feet long are there, uplifted by the roots, cast into the sea by some terrible tempest and sent floating round the world. Other persons on the beach descry big trees floating shoreward. with fantastic roots above the waves like some sea monster. One beach after another has been forged by the floating timbers, and a little distance back from the shore the deposits are so old that the wood in some places is petrified, while a little deeper in the earth it has turn- ed into coal. The newer logs are with- outrd asstone,due,it bark and as ha is thought, to their long immersion in salt water. They have all taken on a whitish appearance. In places the timbers are piled 20 feet high; at other points they rise to a height of only four or five feet. Under this wonderful beach are found large quantities of dark• ruby sand, rich in fine particles of gold. for the separation of which no successful proc- ess has yet been discovered.—Chicago Times -Herald. Microbe■ In Wine. The changes that occur In bottled wines in the course of time are, we are informed by an Austrian savant, large ly due to the presence of living organ- isms. He opened several well corked bottles recently that bad been lying undisturbed for 25 years. On examine. lion he found the wine to contain many microbes and bacteria, some dead, but most of them alive and able to sit up and look cheerful. He says that dif- ferent kinds of microbes have different effects on the wine, and it depends upon the nature of the minute organ- isms that are bottled up with it wheth- er the effect is good or bad. All of which is very satisfactory and pleas- ant. We may as well have our share of microbes and bacteria in our wine as anywhere else. Will Power.

He Plans to Have One Day of Fun and Revenge. "Some play when I have accumulated a stake," said one of the bright bell- boys at the Blossom House the other day, "I am going to have some fun." "What are you going to do?" a by- stander asked. "I am simply going is some big hotel in Chicago or St. Louis and live for it day," and the boy paused to let the remark soak in. "And that's your idea of a good time, is it?" queried the curious• lis- tener. "Hold on! I am not through yet. I am going to a ttfg hotel with three big grips, and I am going to make the bell- boy carry all of them up to the room for me. I won't carry even the small- est one.

I don't drink, but there must be variety in my scheme. Then I will decide to take a Turkish bath and will call a boy to carry my grip down to the bathroom. When I re- turn, I will ring for more ice water. "I will insist on having the same bellboy serve me all the time, and I'll keep him chasing around until be will curse me at every step. Then when I get ready to leave and he is happy to think he shall never see my cursed face again I will give him a dollar.

In olden times, when European kings were as plentiful as Kentucky colouels are today, it was not an exceptional occurrence for a king to disappear and never been heard of again. In ancient times, however, the people have been more careful of their kings. So when KIng Sebastian of Pottage' disappeared in battle July 29, 1578, while fighting the Moors at Alcazar, there was great commotion.. The Moors surrendered to the Portuguese a body said to be that of the king, but it was rumored that the Moors had the king alive in custody. The surrendered body was buried with royal honors at Belem, but the faithful Portuguese persisted in wait- ing for the return of their king. Long after he would have died In the course of nat,yte his countrymen longingly awaite 1 his coming. Even up to this day the legend of the return of King Sebastian is believed by many, and on stormy nights credulous Portuguese citizens will wrap their cloaks about them and go outside and watch the storm, thinking that the king may appear in a cloud of fire again to rule. What I■ a Sleeper? Here Is a definition which 1s as dif- ficult to read rapidly as "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers" and yet is more sensible. In fact, it is an actual statement of facts, as you will find If you read it slowly: A sleeper is one who sleeps. A sleep- er is that in which a sleeper sleeps. A sleeper is that on which the sleeper runs while the sleeper sleeps. There- fore while the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper the sleeper carries the sleeper over the sleeper under the sleeper until the sleeper which carries the sleeper jumps the sleeper and wakes the sleep- er in the sleeper by striking the sleep- er under the sleeper on the sleeper, and there is no longer any sleeper sleeping in the sleeper on the sleeper.

All through the winter circus men are training the auimals for new tricks for the next summer. The winter is by no means an idle time. Training horses for t s ring is interesting work. The first thin done Is to put the new horses in the stables with the old cir- cus horses to get them used to their new company, and a queer thing no- ticed is that the ofd horses are jealous of the newcomers. A great deal of patience and time Is required to train the horses to run arentt-1 the ring. They are blindfolded an.::_.ught to run around the ring in a circle. The natural tendency of the horse is to run straight, and it is a hard thing for him to learn. A sys- tem of checks and lines makes the training easier than formerly. The horse is an observant animal, and apt to do what he sees another horse do, so when the blindfold is.:re- moved he Is placed alongside an old trained horse, and the matt who is to ride the new animal does tricks with the old ones, then tries them on the pupil. A good, intelligent horse soon learns and actually helps his rider. Horses are very sensitive to applause and with that stimulus will do twice as much work .as without. They are just as likely to lose their beads as hu- man performers and have to be care- fully watched. A well trained ring horse is easily worth $1,000, and rid- ers who are stars usually own their horses. The most careful attention is given these animals. Before each act their backs are rubbed with resin, which bas to be washed off afterward. —San Francisco Chronicle. The Foundation of Woman. A small boy in the mission Sunday school of Bishop Fallows' church pro- pounded an entirely new theory of cre- ation last Sunday. "Who made man?" asked the teach- er, beginning as in the good old days when orthodoxy used catechisms. "God," was the prompt reply. "And how did he make him?" "Out of dust, ma'am; nothing but dust." "And who made woman?" "God made her, too, ma'am." "How?" The small boy hesitated and then re- plied cheerfully, "He caused a deep sleep to fall upon man and then took out his backbone and made the wo- man."—Chicago Inter Ocean. Patent Medicines In Mexico.

IRVINO TODD dt SON. SATURDAY, JAN. 27th, 1900. Summer School. Another summer school will be held in Hastings next July, with Prof. R. W. Manuel, of Wells, as con- ductor, assisted by Mrs. Mattie P. Todd, of Minneapolis, and Miss Mary Fanning, of St. Paul. It will be up- on the same lines as the previous one, continuing four weeks. The school last year was a grand success, and it is hoped to do even better this year. Every teacher in the county should make it a point to attend. Although many of them hold certificates at present, the time will come when they must again take the state examina- tions, and the instruction received in these schools will greatly aid in the necessary preparation. The Empire of the South, its re- sources, industries, and resorts, published by the Southern Railway, is one of the most attractive hooks issued in the interests of a railroad company. The descriptive matter is interesting and comprehensive, the pictures are of noted buildings, bits of scenery, and views of southern life, eomprising a work as valuable to a stay at home as to the experienced traveler. A copy will be sent for fifteen cents, the cost of postage, by addressing J. C. Bean, jr., north- wdstern passenger agent, 80 Adams Street, Chicago. The great improvements made in school books during the past twetaty- fire years is more particularly notice- able in geographies, and one of the best that has come to our notice is the Natural Advanced, published by the American Book Company. The work is prepared upon entirely new lines. and profusely illustrated. The Stillwater Gazette says that John Marsh, of Forest Lake, son of the late Michael Marsh, formerly of this city, attempted to commit suicide last Saturday, but his life was saved by the timely arrival of a physician with a stomach pump. Domestic trouble was the cause. Tlie Stillwater Gazette says that Capt. J. A.

It includes the Minnesota Transfer and St. Anthony Park. F. A. Lempke, a christian science professor, eommitted suicide in St. Cloud on Thursday by thrusting his head in a heating stove. He was twenty-four years old and unmarried. Several of the commissioners of Itasca County have been cited to ap- pear before Gov. Lind next month and answer to charges of malfeas- ance in office. B.

There are men in this county who came here without a dollar and are now comparatively rich. They made their money farming. There are others who started with ample means and have nothing now but debts. Success in farming requires the same business tact, the same watchful- ness, and the same dogged determina- tion that success in other lines re- quires. When one farmer goes bankrupt there are probably a dozen merchants who fail and lose all they have, and still there is the everlast- ing cry that the farmer needs legisla- tion to enable him to live.—Delano Eagle.

To the Editor of The Gazette: The lst of December the dairy in- spectors came to my place to inspect my herd of dairy cows. The animals being out at pasture at the time I hesitated about driving them in, but finally did so. If I had known what I think I know about it now I never would have consented to an inspec- tion. I would have abandoned the milk business first, if necessary, but do not think with the law as it is at the present time it would have been necessary, if it was contested. The inspection took place and six cows of my herd of one hundred and three head were condemned for milking purposes, one of the animals being in no condition to sell for beef. The state board of health gave me the privilege of keeping the same animal and raising calves from her to sell for veal, which, of course, would have been consumed for food by the residents of St. Paul, or at least a small portion of them, but they will not allow me to sell milk for con- sumption in St. Paul drawn from this same cow. The other five head were driven to South St. Paul and sold to Swift & Co. for beet, subject to dead inspection. The inspection being made by the state inspector and the government inspector, the cows were weighed and passed to the slaughter house and killed, four of them going for beef, the fifth being condemned. The five cows netted me $131.38, or a trifle over $26 per head, said cows being worth to me at least $36 per head for milking purposes, making a net loss of about $50. But this is a small part of the loss in comparison with the balance. I have had twelve cows calve since their inspection, and am not getting as much milk now as before, and from sixty to seventy-five gallons per day less than my herd of cows have averaged for the past six years at this time in the season, which means a daily Ioss of from $6 to $7.50, Of the twelve fresh cows not one of them have come to their milk the way they should have done, or that they have done at previous times; some of them are not giving a quart of milk per day, and the best of them not over two gallons. At a low estimate they should each have averaged at least three gallons per day. The calves also are in a very bad condition, many of them not being able to stand up, and they finally die. None of them are as active and smart as they should have been or that the calves generally are coming from my herd of cows. I think that my herd of cows, now numbering ninety-eight, will not get over the effects of said inspection before turning out to grass next May, or five months from the time of in- spection, which means a loss to me, (considering the cows do no better from now on than they are doing) somewhere from $1,000 to $1,500. Now is it right for the dairymen to stand this loss? Any dairyman sel- ling milk at wholesale for the past five or six years, with the price of milk as it has been, certainly cannot afford to stand such a lose. What did one of the oldest and best dairy- men in Ramsey County do last spring after this law was passed? Why, he sold out his dairy and quit the busi- ness, which was a great deal better than to stand the loss an inspection would cause, and if I had known what I know now I would have cer- tainly done the same, and sold out my entire herd. , I have been informed that the city beard of health claims that the milk nowadays is killing the babies or children of St. Paul. Now it such is the case, why does it not have the same effect in the country where the children are in daily con- tact with cur dairies, many of them drinking the milk fresh from the cows, and the milkmen or milkmaids that are drawing milk from these cows twice each day, and are inhal- ing the odors arising from warm milk? If the state board of health will come out here in the country I will show them some of the healthiest and most robust children that there are to be found in the country er cities either, raised right here on the farms and who have free access to our dairies, and here is where the in- spectors have hit us the worst, or they can write our family physician, Dr. A. H. Steen, Cottage Grove, for any desired information. New if this could be done without working an injustice on the poorer plass of people of St. Pant, I would be in favor of every dairyman feed- ing hid milk to pigs, or throwing the same away for a short time, and see if the children will die faster with the milk or without it. F. E. WOODWARD. Langdon, Minn., Jan. 4th, 1900. A. D. Campbell, of The Winona Leader, has been appointed as one of the state dairy inspeetors. Our Representative in Congress. When Representative Joel Heat- wole, of Northfield, Minn„ started out of the hail of representatives the other day, following the defeat of the amendment for contract printing of census reports, he found a band of enthusiastic printers at the door, who immediately went through the motion at hoisting him on their shoulders. They intended to bear him in triumph down the stairs and out of the build- ing. The Minnesotian disclaimed credit for the successful fight, announcing that it really was Representative Henry, of Connecticut, who had led the opposition on the floor and se- cured a practically unanimous vote against the amendment. It was, nev- ertheless, Representative Heatwole who had organized the opposition, and it was he who received thousands of telegrams from typographical unions in almost every state protest- ing against the proposed innovation. Out in Minnesota Mr. Heatwole has a reputation as one of the clever - eat political organizers that the state of Indiana ever sent into the great northwest. He poses only as a printer, and takes up only three and a half lines of the Congressional Directory for his biography, telling the name of his native state, his occupation, and the fact that he has been elected to three congresses as a republican. While he poses only as a printer, Mr. Heatwole really has one of the most prosperous weekly newspapers in the state of Minnesota. His political organization begins with precincts and extends upward with town and county committees. No other congressional district in Minnesota is kept so thoroughly in touch with its member in the house. Mr. Heatwole holds postoffice con- ventions and leaves his town com- mittees to decide postofflce quarrels, and he knows absolutely nothing of the discemfitures that congressmen often find themselves in on account of these troublesome patronage plums. —Washington Post, Zed.

Madamede Tourney is noted for her defense of the stage as an honorable pro- fession for any woman with good and pure intentions and sufficient ability in that line to achieve success, and by practicing what she preaches she has ad- ded one more stole to the foundation laid for the elevation of the stage, and endear- ed herself to all who know her personally off the stage, as well as her multitude of admirers as an artist in all parte of America. She is very kind to the poor, even to a fault, where she would sacrifice .personal wants to assist any one in trouble, whom she always has a kind word for, and especially those unfortun- ates who seem at times unable to bear the hardships experienced while reaching and waiting to attain success in their chosen profession. On the stage, in her pro- ductions, Madame de Tourney probably gives more care, or at least as much care, to the elegance, detail, and historic cor- rectness of her costumes as any actress before the footlights.

The New York Tribune is loyally republican on all public questions, although it never dis- torts the news for party purposes and never screens misconduct in public affairs, because dleoovered among party friends. The Tribune commends itself to every republican family in the country, not only by its decency and digni- ty, but by Its wide variety of contents and its vigorous editorial arguments in favor of the masterly policies, which have brought genuine prosperity to the country and glory to its arms and which promise highrestige in the future. The persistent labor of p The Tribune during the four years of President Cleveland, its im- mense circulation reaching every hillside and valley In the United States, is regarded by many friends as having contributed very materially to prepare the country for the return, in 1896, to protection and sound money and to vote for a republican candidate for the presidency. it may as well be confessed that one object of The Tribune, In putting forth its new and admir- able tri -weekly edition, is to render an addi- tional ser ice to the great party, on whose suc- cess in 1900 a continuation of business prosperi- ty and wise government depend. A Great Daily. The Daily and Sunday Tribune, 810 a year (the latter having an illustrated supplement of twen- ty pares of great beauty and interest) with its wealth of general information and attractive special features and pictures, is, by tar, the best and most valuable edition issued from The Trib- une office. For a business man, who can receive it at a reasonable hour, this edition is superior to all others. A Handsome Tri- Weekly. The Tri -Weekly Tribune, $1.50 a year, has re- eently superseded the late Semi -Weekly Tribune, and is a handsome, fresh, breezy, every -other -day newspaper, It will, we think, prove the best substitute for a metropolitan daily, yet found. Every number is as good as a daily of the same date. For many people, it will answer the pur- poses of a daily. It gives one more number eaob week, for haif a dollar less a year, than the for- mer Semi -Weekly. In addition to the news, edi- torials and market prices, it prints each week a great variety of pictorial. literary and other en- tertaining matter, including humor, book re- views, Asked and Answered, foreign letters Home Topics, fashions, fictions, agricultural data, advance information for business men, Science and Mechanics, etc. The market prices are accurate and standard. It is always safe to look at The Tribune before buying or selling country produce. As a family newspaper The Tri -Weekly Tribune bas no superior iu the United States. The Tri -Weekly Tribune has been put forth in response to the growing demand for more fre- quent issues. It is cordially recommended to every reader, who wants the cream and spirit of The New York Tribune and who uvea too far away for the Daily. The Weekly, The Weekly Tribune, Il a year, holds it own as a groat low-priced farmers' and family news- paper. It can usually be obtained at advantag- eous terms in conjunction with local weeklies.

HOW UNSCRL:PVLOtiS PEOPLE PATENT TiuE INVENTIONS 4 OF THEIR BETTERS. -. -1 2 2 1 2 2 1 There are men moving about the country all the time looking for unpro- tected mechauica: devices which they can patent by swearing that they are the inventors. says Locomotive En- gineering. The ordinary procedure is to quietly take out the patent and re- main quiet for a few years. Then some day the patentee or his agents visit a shop where the device is in use -perhaps the place where it was in" vented. Then he puts in a elai,n for royalty, and fiery indignation is ex- cited. The man .who invented the thing protests that the claim is a fraud, but he cannot tell just the exact slate out which the invention was applied to practical use. The legal department makes inquirieig and finds that a suc- cessful defense is so uncertain that they advise a settlement instead of a' lawsuit, and so the rogue and thief secures possession of his ill gotten gains. It 1s as bad as picking a man's pocket, but It is not so risky. That is no fancy or overdrawn picture. It is the history of thousands of frauds that have been put upon railroad compa- nies. In the evolution of important inven- tions there are many opportunities for the industry of another fraud, who may be termed the developer or imita- tor. We know many highly respect- able men who no sooner see au inven- tion that is likely to prove valuable than they proceed diligently to design something that will get round the pat- ented article without infringement. They have %tot sufficient originality to invent anything, but they possess a cer- tain kind of Mechanical ingenuity which makes them very successful hnl- tators. These are very often the men who reap the greatest profit from in- ventions that others originated. The party. in whose brain the germ of a great invention originates - is very often the man who receives the least credit for the achievement when the final verdict is rendered eoneerning the invention. It 1s the pirate, the imi- tator and the Improver who carries away the profit and the glory. This improver, who never had an original idea pass through his head, is really a greater enemy to the real inventor than the man who steals outright. The improver is such a respectable vagabond that he itnposes upon those who can supply capital and talks about the real inventor in a pitying. patroniz- ing tone, which carries the conviction that the knave is a very upright man. There are hundreds of that sort of man living in luxury, while the men who invented the appliances that made them rich are struggling along in pov- erty and obscurity. Lamp That Lights Itself.

The battery, when once charged, will not require at- tention for months and is sufficiently strong to light the lamp 2,000 times at a cost of 5 cents. It is sold securely packed with a bottle of charging salts. Queer Business Combinations. Some Chicago men carry on at the same time two or more different lines of business. Sometimes these combi- nations are laughable. Over the door of a store in Wells street 1s a sign which announces "Wholesale Popcorn and School of Magic." In the window of an office in Madison street is an an- nouncementothat within are to be had "Books on Love and Poultry Raising."

SHE WANTED GOL'. One Woman's Idea of the Money to Deposit In a Bank. Most comical stories are told at the expense of the fair sex regarding their lack of familiarity with banks and their methods. One came to the ears of the Saunterer that apparently has the merit of newness. "My wife bad saved up her pin money, or what she hadn't had occa- sion touseof it," said the relator of the story, "until she had $40 in bills of various denominations. This she was extremely desirous of securing gold for, and every day when I came home to dinner she would haul me over the coals because I end forgotten to procure the shining metal. Finally she said she would attend to the matter herself. That evening she greeted me with a triumphant smile. "'I got my gold.' she exclaimed as soon as I entered the house, 'but I had a time in doing it, though.' "Then she told me how she bad gone to the mint with her bills and been re- fused the coveted coin because the notes weren't good notes. Next she hustled around to a bank and secured four $10 gold pieces. These didn't suit her because they weren't new and shiny, so she trotted back to the mint with them and exchanged them for two double eagles, fresh from the dies. I listened to her recital and asked her to let me see the coins. "'Let you see them!' she exclaimed In surprise. 'Why, I haven't them any more. you goose!' "'Haven't them any more? I re- peated. 'What did you do with them?' "She looked at me with mingled scorn and cohtempt. ' "'I deposited them in the — Sav- ings bank, of course. That's what 1 wanted the gold for. What did you think I was going to do with then? Keep them around the house to look "But I was too busy laughing just then and for half an hour afterward to make any reply." -Cincinnati En- quirer. THE FORCE OF HABIT. How It Once Played a Mean Trick on Frederick Villiers. E. W. Sabel, in The Saturday Even- ing Post. tells an anecdote of Freder- ick Villiers, the famous war corre- spondent. 'Villiers had been under tire for some days, the enemy bombarding the force to which the artist was at- tached. so that the arrival of a shell was a commonplace circumstance to be treated in the usual way. Out of this ordeal he came unscathed to London and was strolling down the crowded Strand. - On a sudden the pedestrians were appalled to see him film himself at full length upon the greasy, muddy pavement and there lie on his face, rigid as a dead man. From all direc- tions men rushed' to render him as- sistance. They turned him --over to rub.his hands and unbotton his collar, expecting to find flim in a fit. But to. On his face they found not the pain and pallor of epilepsy, but astonish- ment and mud. Villiers, when they laid hold of him, quickly jutaped to his feet, shook the mud from his hands and clothes and then looked around for an explanation of his own appar- ently idiotic act. The explanation was forthcoming. A few yards behind him stood a horse and cart. The carter had a mo- ment after Villiers passed pulled the pin and allowed the cart box to dump upon the ground a load of gravel. The heavy beams of the cart, of course, struck the wood paving with a re- sounding "dull thud," and the clean gravel hissed out with an evil roar. This combination of sounds, the war artist declared, was identical with the striking of a live shell, and Villiers, forgetting that he then stood some thousands of miles from the seat of war, automatically flung himself down to await the dreadful explosion. He Got the Information. An English paper tells this story of the late Joseph Whitaker, the publish er of Whitaker's Almanack: "For the first issue he wanted, along with simi- lar information, the amount of the sal- aries received by a number of certain high funetionaries in the civil service. Application to these personages them- selves was uniformly met with only flat refusals. Accordingly the Alma- nack appeared with a list of the offi- cials, each credited with a purely imag- inary sum. "The result was instantaneous. Hard- ly had the first edition come out be- fore those whose salaries had been underrated were impelled by 'amour propre' to write indignant corrections, while the polite statements of the in- land revenue authorities were similar- ly efficacious where the alleged amount was at all in excess of the actual in- come." Tiny Bibles. In Russia miniature Bibles are often worn as watch charms. One of these Bibles is owned by a Bostonian who received it from a friend living in Rus- sia. It is about one inch long, three- fourths of an inch wide and three- eighths of an inch thick and contains the first live books of the Old Testa- ment. The text of the book is in He- brew and the titles in Latin. It can only be read with the help of a power- ful magnifying glass.

A .BELGIAN INVENTION TO PRE- SERVE LIFE 1N CASE OF SHIPWRECiK. :: 1..;..1..1:::1.4 2 12 I I I I Mr. Hubert De Wilde of Ghent, Be - glum, has recently invented a life sa'. - ing collar whb.h. aecording to the suc- cess of recent experiments, seems to be in advance of any similar device ev'i!r- attempted. Among those who have been deeply impressed with the value of Mr. De Wilde's invention is Mr. Richard Le Bort, the United States consul at Ghent, who recently sent to the state department a complete description and commended it in the warmest terms. The invention consists of a cork col- lar having an exterior diameter of 16% inches and an Interior diameter. of 6 inches. The neck opening has a circumference of 18 Inches and is com- posed of two half collars fastened to- gether with a hinge, in which there, is a strong spring, destined to main- tain the collar always closed and firm. The opening Is opposite the hinges. On each side of the_opening there ib a smaller bolder, made of cork, three HOW THE WILDE COLLAR IS ADJUSTED. inches in height and two inches In di- ameter, securely fastened. When pres- sure is exerted on the two holders, the collar spreads open' and allows the bead to pass in. On letting go of the holder the collar clasps itself auto- matically. The collar is formed of 30 pieces of cork, each piece having the form of an isosceles `triangle, with angles rounded. of which the base is 4% inches and the height 5 5-16 inches. The points -are directed toward the interior, which gives the collar an ele- vation at its periphery of 4% inches, while at its Interior there is a thick- ness of 1 3-16 inches. The pieces are cat radially and are strung on two heavy steel wire stems concentrically riveted to the folding shutters of the hinge. The weight of the apparatus is about 5% pounds and its displacement of wa- ter about 12 quarts. Consequently its ascensional strength represents con- stantly from 18 to 20 pounds of iron. Confectionery In Army Rations. Candy has been added to the regular ration of the American soldier, says The Scientific American. One New York firm has shipped more than 50 tons of confectionery during the past year for the troops in the Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico. The government • uys candy of good quality, which would retail from 30 to 40 cents a pound. It consists of mixed chocolate creams, lemon drops, cocoanut maca- roons and acidulated fruit drops. These are put in sealed one pound cans of a special oval shape, designed to fit the pockets of a uniform coat. According to The Evening Post, the use of candy at an army ration originated in some experiments on 'the diet of the troops conducted by the German government ten years ago. They showed that the addition of candy and chocolate to the regular ration greatly improved the health and endurance of the troops us- ing it. Since that time the German government has Issued cakes of choco- late and a limited amount of other con- fectionery. The queen has just for- warded 500,000 pounds of chocolate in half pound packages as a Christmas treat for the troops in the Transvaal. American jam manufacturers are con- sidering a movement to add jam to the army ration. It has been found so wholesome for the British army that 1,450,000 pounds have been dispatched to South Africa as a four months' sup- ply for 116,000 troops. Will Do Away With Stamps. English postal authorities are making experiments with an automatic letter mailing device which will do away with the old style of "stick with a lick" postage stamp. The new apparatus re- sembles a slot machine and is an adap- tation of this idea. It can be placed on the street corners or in the postoffices. By putting a penny in the slot the let- ter is thrust into a slot and, presto, change! a dry or ribbon stamp puts a stamp on the corner of the letter, when it can be dropped Into the box. The machine cancels the stamp with the date, time of day, etc., all at one oper- ation. There are different denomina- tions of stamps. If this machine proves the success which its inventor hopes, it will do away with the present mucilag- ed stamp and prove an economical de- vice for the postal service.

It must have been in 1862 that Mey- erbeer paid his last visit to Londou, and I saw him at one of the Philhar- monic concerts, which were then held in the old Hanov 2r square rooms. There was quite .a flutter of excite- ment when the little old man, looking extraordinarily wizened and wrinkled, even for his age of 68, came into the box. I noticed his piercing eyes and hooked nose and perhaps as much as these a magnificent brooch of rubies and diamonds that blazed in the cen- ter of his shirt frill, which be wore in the fashion of 1830. The stones flash- ed and glittered pith everyone of his quick little bows to right and left and the rubies connect themselves with a tale of his great predecessor in Paris, the mighty Gluck. After the' first triuiaphant perform- ance of one of Chick's operas the queen sent for biro to come to her box to receive her congratulations. Half dazed with emotion, excitement and fatigue, the old musician, rising from his -obeisance, clapped bis hands to his eyes, crying with horror, "Blood, blood round the queen's%neck!" "It is only this, Gluck," said Marie Antoinette, hastily snatching off her necklace of rubies and holding the rip- pling gems toward him. and Gluck looked again and saw ti a fair, write throat rising unharmed -td stainless.

Before he became a bishop he had been archdeacon of Surrey,aud his old archdeaconry became a part of his lat- er bishopric of Winchester. At a meet- ing of the clergy at Clapham his chap- lain told him that an old Dr. —, who had been many years in the diocese. was vexed at having been forgotten. "Yes," said the bishop; "I have not the smallest recollection of him, but I will make it all .right and will go out and speak to him. Which is he?" He was pointed out, and the bishop made his way to him: "My dear Dr. —, I have not had a moment for a real conversation with you. I need not ask bow you are after all these years. Do you still ride your gray mare?" "Yes, my lord. How good of you to remember her," etc. The chaplain, who was within ear- shot, said when be again came near the bishop: "Then you did remember Dr. — after all?" "Not a bit of it," said the bishop.

There can be little doubt that the sympathetic physician is the one best calculated to lead his patient to recovery. Again, in many diseases the good that may be wrought to the sufferer by the agency of mental suggestion is undeniable. Professor J. M. Baldwin, referring to this fact in connection with insomnia, says: "In experimenting upon the possibili- ty of suggesting sleep to another I have found certain strong reactive in- fluences upon my own mental condi- tion. Such an effort which involves the picturing of another as asleep is a strong auto -suggestion of sleep. taking effect in my own case in about five minutes If the conditions be kept con- stant. The more clearly the patient's sleep is pictured the stronger becomes the subjective feeling of drowsiness. An unfailing cure for insomnia, speak- ing for myself, is the persistent effort to put some one else asleep by bard thinking of the Qnd in view. with a continued gentle movement, such as stroking the other with the hand." Dr. E. C. Spitzka of New York has recently given some really remarka- ble instances of the power of mental suggestion. Ile cites the well known fact that the mortality from wounds and diseases in a defeated army com- pared with a victorious army is as 4 to 3 and even 3 to 2. He also refers to the incontrovertible fact that per- sons in robust health have been known to die apparently of starvation after being without food for from three to five days. Dr. Spitzka is of the opin- ion that these individuals did .not- die of actual starvation, but from the physical effects of the hunger. The proof of this contention lies in the fact that persons have been known to fast of their free will for more than 40 days without injuring their constitu- tions to any appreciable extent. Many examples establishing the truth of this statement migjlt be given, but it will be sufficient to quote one from Dr. Spitzka's paper. He says: "In the graver form of hysteria, when loss of sensation occurs in ex- actly one-half of the body, you can lay a piece of tinted paper on the sensitive side, then suggesting it to be a mustard plaster a red area will appear on the corresponding unsensitive side. Blis- ters of such a character that scars have permanently remained frot; them have been produced in similar crises by the same method." The medical profession, it appears more than likely, has not as yet whdlly appreciated the advantages to be de- rived from the employment of mental suggestion. Comb and Scissors Combined. A new hair cutting implement, com- bining the comb and scissors, is for the convenience of the barber, and it is claimed for this tool that it greatly fa- cilitates the operation of cutting or trimming the hair and furthermore cannot pull the hair, as do frequently NEW TOOL FOR BARBERS, the scissors and the clippers which it displaces. This device includes in its construction a pair of scissors, the low- er blade being provided with a comb which in operation is next to the head. By its use the thorough distribution of the hair strands over the cutting edge is assured and the hair evenly cut. To sharpen or clean the blade it is simply necessary to detach a screw and swing the comb outward the proper distance so as to easily reach the blade with a whetstone or the like. Odors and the Voice. Dr. Joal calls attention to the many cases recorded in medical literature of severe headaches, nervons disturb- ances and even occasional cases of death due to the inhalation of the odors of various flowers, says The Practical Druggist. He then states that a number of singers and actors suffer from this, and that usually it is a certain odor which the affected per- son cannot tolerate. The symptoms set up are usually coryza, hoarseness even to aphonia, headache, etc. He reports a number of cases in several of which good results were obtained by cauteri- sation of the hypertrophied mucous membrane. tlnappreciative. "Shall 1 sing 'Because I Love You?"' asked Mrs. Darley as she seated her- self at the piano. "No," replied Mr. I who is a brute. "If you love u, . ton't sing." -- Detroit Free Press. What Tesla Seleeted. Thomas Edison used to have Nikola Tesla working for him in his studio near Paris. Tesla came to Wm one day asking for work, and Edison, who needed help, referred him to the fore- man, named Fulton. The latter took the young foreigner on condition that he would work. This Tesla did. For three days and nights be never closed his eyes. At the end of the first fort- night he had not had 48 hours' sleep all together, and Fulton, the foreman, made him take a rest. He also said to, the young man that on account of the strain they bad both been under they had better have a good meal. Accordingly the foreman and the student went to a well known cafe on one of the boulevards and got one of the biggest and thickest steaks pos- sible. It was a whopper and seemed to be overwhelming for two. Besides, the garnishings were liberal, and there was enough good wine. Between them, however, they managed to make ev- erything disappear, and then Fulton, turning to Tesla, asked him if there was anything else be would like. "You're out with me, you know, and whatever you want just order it." Tessa looked vaguely around for a minute, as if making up his mind. and then hesitatingly said, "Mr. Fulton, if you don't mind I would like another steak." -San Francisco Argonaut. His Mistake as to American Girls. A Louisville girl who was recently in Germany met a young English officer who was in the same city, and, in tact, in the same house with her for two months, studying German for his pro- motion. Like most Europeans, be had the usual absurd ideas about the girls of this country, who, in the minds of the untraveled foreigner, are rather hoyden creatures, who smoke and have other masculine traits. After dinner one day in the early ac- quaintanceship of the couple the offi- cer offered the Louisville girl a ciga- rette, and upon her refusing it be said: "Why, I thought all the girls in the United States smoked." "So we do," replied the girl, "but never cigarettes, only pipes. If you will get that pipe off the mantelpiece in the next room I shall be charmed to smoke with you." Not suspecting the joke she was play- ing on him, the officer brought the pipe and filled it, and it was not until he saw the wry faces bis friend made in attempting to carry out the joke that he appreciated the situation. He was continually telling the American in a tone of surprise that she was just like the girls at home in England, and her rejoinder was: "Lieutenant, don't you think a lady is a lady the world over?" -Louisville Courier -Journal. Consumption. Pulmonary tuberculosis is not a con- tagious, but only a communicable dis- ease. The contact per se of the con- sumptive individual does not convey the disease. It is now well known that it is mainly the tuberculosis expectora- tion, which, when dried and pulverized to dust, constitutes the main danger of infection. The means to prevent infec- tion from tuberculosis expectoration or saliva -expectorating only in proper vessels, spittoons and pocket flasks, proper use of handkerchiefs during coughing, etc. -are now also universal- ly taught: It is absolutely demonstrated that a tuberculosis patient, if he takes proper care of bis expectoration, does not con- stitute any danger to his fellow men. In $,anatoria and hospitals exclusively devoted to the care of consumptives it is of the rarest occurrence for an at- tendant to contract the disease, the hygienic precautions being so thor- ough. It may indeed be said that in these houses for consumptives one is less liable to contract consumption than outside of them. -Dr. S. A. Knopf in Forum. Miss Proctor's Mistake. bliss Mary Proctor, the astronomer and lecturer, frequently gives her per- sonal services toward entertaining poor children and adults. Generally her lectures are well received. Now and then there are exceptions. On one occasion a bright eyed little boy, who sat in the front row with his eyes fixed upon the speaker, was asked how he liked it. "I guess," he said, "it was pretty good, but she ought to talk about lions and tigers. That's better for everybody." At another lecture a youngster crit- icised her as follows: "It's all very well to talk of weighing and measuring stars. There are some people, of course, who believe that sort of thing, but if she thinks she can fool us boys with such fairy tales she's very much mix• taken." Boomerangs Not New. The Australian aborigines are not the only users of the boomerang, nor were hey the first to use that missile. The Egyptians knew all about' it, just as they seem to have known all about ev- erything else. At the present day the boomerang is used by some American Indian tribes and by the . Dravidian races of the Indian peninsula. The nissile used by the last named differs in that it is thicker than the usual form and does not return to the throw- er. The return of the boomerang is due to the action of the wind. the shape of the weapon and the manner in which it is thrown. Ineligible. Pilson-Are you going to take pari in that guessing contest?

With no inborn literary facility, with in inborn artistic conscience that drove him on in untiring pursuit of perfec- tion, Balzac filled the vast chasm be- tween his thought and its expression with countless pen strokes and by methods of composition all his own, the exact reverse of those of Dumas, writing at white heat, never rewriting, or of Hugo, who said, "I know not the art of soldering a beauty in the place of a defect, and I correct myself in an- other work." Balzac began with a short and sketchy and slipshod skeleton, making no attempt toward sequence or style, and sent it, with all its errors, to the printer. Proofs were returned to him in small sections pasted in the center of huge sheets, around whose wide bor- ders soon shot from the central text rockets and squibs of the author's ad- ditions and corrections fired by his in- furiated fist. The new proofs came back on similar sheets, to be returned to the printer again like the web and tracks of a tipsy spider. This was re- peated a dozen or, it is said, a score of times, always with amplifications, until his typesetters became palsied luna- tics. He overheard one of them as he entered the office one day say: "I've done my hour of Balzac. \Vho takes him next?" Typesetter, publisher, au- thor, were put out of misery only when the last proof came in, at its foot the magic "Bon a tirer."-Scribuer's. General Grant Owns Up. \\'hen General Grant cf. me to Liver- pool and was eutertail:ed at the town hall, a quite unknown Liverpool man wrote to the mayor with many apolo- gies, but asking if he might take the liberty of asking for a few minutes' conversation with the great soldier. The mayor hesitated, but found a way of mentioning the matter to the great man, who, without hesitation, said, "Certainly; let the gentleman come" He cause. He said to the gen- eral: "Now, sir, utter amateur as 1 am, 1 have followed every step of the war, and 1 think I understand every movement except one. On such a day you were there and the southerners were there," pointing to plans on a map that he had brought. Now, it seems to me that you ought certainly to have gone there, whereas you went there," pointing again. General Grant, the usually taciturn and when not taciturn phenomenally terse, just took the cigar from his mouth and said: "You're right, sir! Infernal blunder'." And in a moment the amateur strat- egist, beaming now, was courteously dismissed. -"That Reminds Me," by Sir Edward Russell. A Natural Mistake. A few years before his death Allen G. Thurman of Ohio was engaged as counsel In a lawsuit which was tried before a country judge in one of the towns In the central part of the state. Opposing Judge Thurman was a young lawyer named Cassidy, who wore his hair pompadour, assumed an air of great dignity and was apparent- ly greatly impressed with his own im- portance. Upon several occasions dur- ing the progress of the trial Thurman referred to his legal opponent as "Mr. Necessity." The young man arose whenever this occurred and with great gravity reminded the court that his name was Cassidy. Finally, after the offense had been repeated about a dozen times, the pompous attorney ex- claimed: "I must again remind counsel upon the other side that my name is Cas- sidy. I can't understand why -he per- sists in maintaining that it is Neces- sity." "I beg the gentleman's pardon," said Thurman. "The reason I keep getting him confused with Necessity is, I pre- sume, due to the fact that the latter knows no taw." -Chicago Times -Her- ald. The First Telescopic Comet. "On the evening of Oct. 1, 1847, the Mitchells were entertaining a party of invited guests," writes Amelia H. Bots- ford of "The Mother of the Stars" in The Ladies' Home Journal. "But Ma- ria Mitchell was not to be deterred by 'company' from following her custom of sweeping the heavens with the tele- scope every clear night. She slipped. away and ran up to the observatory. Soon afterward she returned and told her father that she thought she had seen a comet. He hurried up to the observatory to look himself and declar- ed that it was indeed a comet.

Hotchkiss, of The Preston Republican, has been ap- pointed trustee of the soldiers' home to 111 vacancy. The Morristown Press issued a half sheet this week at the office of The Faribault Republican, its material being badly demoralized in the recent fire. S. B. Molander, deputy, in the state auditor's office, has announced himself as a candidate for the nomina- tion as secretary of state upon the republican ticket. He served for many years as auditor of Kanabec Oounty, where he obtained a reputa- tion for efficiency and capability that fully warrants his aspirations to a still higher position in tke service of the state. The Hon. 0. F. Staples, of Me dota, has formally anonuuced h candidacy as railroad commissione a position for which he is peculiar fitted. His name would add weig to the republican state ticket, and will receive a loyal support from h constituency in Dakota County. n- is r, ly lit he is A Topeka clergyman is creating a mild sensation by editing a daily pa- per for a week, with full control of the establishment.

The St. Paul Germans are negotia- ting for forty acres of land near Indian Mound Park for an immense picnic ground. H. J. Tolmie, of Spring Valley, has been appointed secretary of the dairy commission in place of P. J. Smalley. resigned. The Hon. C. F. Staples, of Dakota County, in response to a general de- mand from the republicans in every quarter of the state, has announced his willingness to accept a place on the republican state ticket, as candi- date for railroad commissioner. He is eminently qualified for the position, and will, without doubt, be nominat- ed by acclamation, and his nomination be ratified by an overwhelming majority of the voters at the polls. Another gentleman who is favorably mentioned for railroad commissioner is the Hon. A. N. Dare, of Sherburne County, and he would make a fine running mate for Mr. Staples. Mr. Dare is also well qualified forthe position, and his integrity cannot be questioned. Messrs. Staples and Dare with another man of like char- acter and ability would make an ideal board of railroad commissioners, and their names would materially strengthen the entire republican state ticket.—Princeton Union. C. F.Staples, of Dakota County, in this district, has formally announced his candidacy for one of the places upon the republican state ticket, a railroad eommissionership. Me has served the people through five ses- sions of the legislature, and not a single criticism has been made against his conduct in that capacity. Many friends have tendered him their support, and he has finally ac- ceded to their wishes to become a candidate. He has been returned from a county usually democratic, a circumstance in itself which testifies to his political strength. His name has been suggetjted as congressman, but it looks as if he had set his eyes upon another place. He is made of the stuff republicans should be prompt to honor.—Renville Tines. A deal was completed Saturday whereby E. O. Peterson, of Hastings, purchased the hardware store of George Stoppel. Mr. Peterson is a pleasant and courteous young man who will no doubt meet with success in his new field. Mr. Stoppel will for the present remain in this city.— Red Wing Republican. The Educational Association. The executive committee of the Dakota County Educational Associa- tion, consisting of Supt. F. P. Phipps, president, Miss Kate M. Kranz, sec- retary, and Supt. C. W.

Staples, of Dakota County, yesterday authorized the an- nouncement of his candidacy for the repul,'icau nomination for railroad eomntis ;inner. "It is due the good friends who have so generously ten- dered ute their support that they should know where I stand," is the way Mr Staples puts it, "and so I have concluded to enter the race. I dm, frotn now on, a candidate for the nomination for railroad commissioner, subject to the good judgment of the republicans of the state and the ac- tion of the republican state conven- tion." This announcement on the part of Mr. Staples will be received with very general satisfaction. For some time sentiment has been crystal- izing in his favor. So general has been the complimentary expression that it would seem that nothing more than Mr. Staples' assent was necessa- ry practically to assure his nomina- tion. His ability is conceded, his in- tegrity unquestioned. His long legis- lative experience has given him an added familiarity with the questions that will come before the commission. It has also given him a state-wide ac- quaintance. Ilis course in the legis- lature has always been marked by close adherence to a high conception of the demands of the public service, which las brought him the respect and admiration of the opposition as well as of his own party colleagues. His nomination by the republican convention will bring many votes to the ticket. --St. Paul Pioneer Press, 28th. Langdon Items. Mrs. J. O. Kemp has returned from her visit at Hector. Mrs. 'l. L.

That sugar planters abound in Da- kota County is not surprising. To- bacco has been cultivated in Dakota County for many years. The fertile hills of West St. Paul proper, within that county, have exhibited each au- tumn a semi -tropic drapery of vine- yards, red and purple. Fur the grapes of Dakota County are of more than one variety, and the Minnesota wine now gathering Dakota County cobwebs is more than worth the drinking. Small wonder that on the future site of Mendota the Indians were once as eager to assemble as they are still unwilling to disperse. The white man, indeed, had reason to believe that the metropolis of the North Star State would be Mendota in Dakota County, the Louisiana of the northwest. The sugar plantations across the river—or, more precisely, the syrup plantations—are a reality, a practical and profitable reality. Not that plan- tations of the sorghum cane are un- known in other counties of this state. But no county has cultivated sorghum mere effectively. In no other counts have the cultivators so positively found sorghum more certain and more remunerative than potatoes, than corn, or than wheat. The Sir Walter` Raleigh of Dakota County syrup is Michael B. Shields. It was he that introduced the honied cane into the county; it was he that made the nascent sugar fashionable roes Mendota to Rosemount, from Eagan to Rich Valley. And now yen Wall Street is not more interest- ► d than is the county in the goings p of sugar and the goings down t hereof. But only the other fellow $ ambles, and the farmers that look own upon this world from Pilot c nob are all "conservative investors." a t present, owing to the winter sea- < on, the war in Africa, and the shut- b ng down of Mr. Shields' mill, the g ugar market across the river is dull, g ith, however, a firm undertone. t ut a few months ago two burghers 1 ould converse upon a west side o opje, while their heaped-up wagon b ads of green and fresh cut cane ri ould incense the hill, as it were f lympus when the nectar had been rved: is "Up to mill?" g "Yep, this mornin'.

From the sixteen hundr and seventy tons of cane manufactu ed by fifty-one days and nights continuous milling he secured twent five thousand gallons of syrup, o five hundred gallons a day. Tb output he sold at retail for fifty cen a gallon, and at wholesale for abo forty cents a gallon. During 190 the capacity of the mill will be e larged to utilize all the cane that ca be purchased. Thus Dakota County cultivate sorghum last year on something les than two hundred acres. Th acreage is likely to be much extend@ now that the county has a far large mill than a second Minnesota mill near Faribault, and a third mill nea Red Wing. Because: The county has found no cro more certain. Wheat has many time proved food for chinch bugs. Count potatoes have made annual food fo potato bugs. Only the sorghum can has been always food for folks When, once in fifteen years, a Sahara drouth ruined utterly all other crops, the sorghum diminished its yield one- half only. If proper care is taken to acclimatize the seed, the cane always ripens before frost comes. Twenty- four hours after it is eat the cane, wherever it remains, is beyond in- jury from frost. It is not hard to grow ten tons of sorghum cane upon one acre of land. The demand for manufactured sor- ghum is constantly maintained. The Shields mill guaranteed last year not less than $2 a ton, and paid as high as $2.90 to the ton. Allowing for deficiency in actual yield, $20 an acre, that is, ten tons of cane at $2 a ton, would surely be better,after deducting; the slightly increased cost of cultiva- tion, than sixteen bushels of wheat at seventy-five cents a bushel. Yet the wheat farmer is lucky that can sell an average acre's product for $12. Other agricultural communities that have arrived, by way of chinch bugs and drouth, potato bugs and rust, at the all -ends -well of candied cane, may learn, like the county, how sweet are the uses of adversity apnrdemsorghum.—Se Paul Pioneer ach the ars the up a HO is egs ers ota nd of rk ut re by by r.

ZITle. oistmsomeRstiommitwitstni, Dr. Smith's Pills A Story of the Mind Cure Doc- trine. tledeltieleleleile2111/441111111101111451444 "Not at all, Dr. Smith. I have no bad cold. These symptoms are mere the -externalizing on the physical pia of improper thought." This was in reply to Dr: Smith's co miseration on the lamentable appe mace of the patient. Mrs. Hollis w a member of the local ethical socie who had lately absorbed some leadi features of the mind cure doctrin but who had not advanced so far as discard all medical advice. In min ailments she adhered to the scho but her courage failed when disorde were more ominous; hence her pre ence in the consulting room. "The resemblance was so extraord nary as to mislead me," replied t doctor. "I have never seen a mo perfect simulation. I now percei the power of thought to produce ph nomena in 'natter. Your thought mu be very bad," he added refiectivel gazing again at the reddened face an streaming eyes of the sufferer. Mrs. Hollis. winced a little at thi "Not as bad as if I had pneumonia she returned. with a touch of asperit "But how are you going to treat me?' "With thought pills." said the doe tor. "Thought pills!" exclaimed Mrs. Ho lis. "Yes," said he, "withthought pill I should not feel justified in stoppin at anything short. of them." "I never beard of them. Are the to be taken internally?" "Of course," replied the docto "Your thoughts are inside of you, an so must be the pills. We have go to go to the root of the matter. An now." he went on, "I will ask you t excuse me a few moments while I pre pare them in the pharmacy. I will no be long. Do not give a thought to th pills while I am gone. That will coin later on." It was all very well to decree tha the pills were to be excluded from Mrs Hollis' mind, but this was soon found an impossibility. Struggle as she might po other topic could be maintained She tried to think of the children's din ner and of the trimming of her new gown, but in vain. The pills swept ev erything before them, so to speak What they were like, how they were compounded, what was the rationale of their operation, these were questions which succeeded each other in Mrs. Hollis' brain and excited thrills of speculation. Whatever may have been the doctor's motive in prohibition, the pills had certainly effected a lodgment and were by no means to be expelled. A slight misgiving did for a moment rise as she remembered that Dr. Smith bad some reputation as a wag, but he was too evidently serious at the time for the misgiving .to enlarge into sus- picion. It was at this moment that he returned. "I will explain to you exactly what you must do," said the doctor, as he seated himself by the patient and open- ed a little box. It contained four pills, three of quite ordinary size and color, but the fourth much larger and very dark. "The three smaller pills are not to be taken until bedtime, but their ac- tion begins at once. The great point is that you are to follow unhesitatingly any course to which they prompt. They are thought pills, remember. At dinner, for instance, you will find no repugnance to a plate of soup or to any quantity of fruit, but the instant any other dish is before you and you think of the pills you will have no wish to eat it. Before going to bed take the three pills and put your mind upon them. The lourth is to be taken before breakfast. Probably you will be una- ble to go beyond coffee and fruit. Come and see me late in the afternoon." "But what is the philosophy of the pills, doctor?" asked Mrs. Hollis. "They have a twofold aspect," he re plied. "I should not like to use the word duplicity"—this with a hardly perceptible twinkle of the eye—"we will call it duplexness. They project into the concrete objectivity the es- sences and powers of the supra-physi- tal plane and thus show matter as a polg of the immaterial. But it is the reflex action on which I lay most stress. They, as it were, restore the concrete to the abstract. Thought is everything; matter is mere nothing. If the universe can be mirrored in an atom, much more so in a pill." This certainly bad the orthodox sound. The ring of the true mind cure doctrine was there. Even unin- telligibility was fairly well preserved. Mrs. Hollis was to some extent reas- oned. She hardly liked to ask the doctor whether he also was a disciple, but It was clear that he was a stUdent. "But how about the rest of the time?" she inquired. "Am I to think of the pills all the while?" "I should not consider that essen- tial," said the doctor after a moment's reflection. "But thought at meals and at night is vital." "I am not quite sure whether I ought to be taking Medicine of any kind," Mrs. 1101118 remorse° as rine held the box irresolutely in her hand. "But these are thought pills," said the doctor. • "Oh!" said she. Dinner turned out precisely as Dr. Smith had foretold. The soup was certainly palatable, but thought of the pills was a bar to fish. "Are you not well, my dear?" asked Mr. Hollis as she declined it. "Yes." she said: "I amnuite well. but 6 t a ly ne m- ar- as ty, ng e, to or ol, rs s- he re ve st y, s. Y• 1- s. r. et • 1 have a dreadful co—; that is, I mean, no, not any iish." Mr- Hollis observed that every dish went untested save the berries, of which his wife consumed three plates. But he was wise with years of matri- mony ' and knew that the mystery would be unveiled if patience was al- lowed her perfect work. Mrs. Hollis was faithful In all' re- spects to the directions. The three pills were duly taken at bedtime and her mind concentrated thereon till sleep overcame her. Her shimbers were not continuous, and she awoke far earlier than was customary, but certainly improvement had begun. The fourth pill was more difficult to swal- low, and she had to bite it. It had a very slight taste, not unlike that of - Boston brown bread, by no means un- pleasant. Nor was the doctor's pro- vision less accurate respecting break- fast. The thought pills did seem to ef- face all wish for everything beyond coffee and fruit. As the day went on the symptoms steadily bettered. The head was less choked, the cheeks were not so red and swollen, eyes and nose were palpably on the mend. It was in far more pleasing condition that she repaired to the consulting room late in the afternoon. Little of moment, how- ever, occurred. Dr. Smith expressed great satisfaction at her rapid rwov- ery, and she was cordial in attestation of the merit in thought pills. "But tell me, doctor," she asked, "is it you who put the potency of thought Into the pills or I," "The powers of nature often inter- penettate," said the doctor, "and we accept Voe outcome of causative action while ,Izable to assign proportionate value tc. •ach." Mr. H c1118 /was no leas gratified at the quick improvement In his wife and in the liorary after dinner led the way to an ne Ault of the treatment. As the narration proceeded he became more and more interested and Intent though at timet faint twinkle of the eye was percept:::e. But hardly had Mrs. Hol- lis cone- uded her exposition of the therapt-utic process when he dropped his ne vspaper, threw back his head, clasped Ids hands behind it and emit- ted a lc ud and long guffaw. "Henry, what is the matter with you?" cried his wife in astonishment. "My dear," said he when calmness returnes', "I could have prescribed diet and jalap as well as Dr. Smith." "But what about the thought pills?" she asked, with open eyes. "Pills work irrespective of thought," Mr. Hollis replied sententiously. Mrs. Hollis was quiet for a moment. "I don't think I will ever go to Dr. Smith again," she at last exclaimed in a voice of some feeling. "Oh, yes, you will!" he said. "The doctor Las great common sense and as much command of phrases as a mind curist. You get the advantage of both systems." Mrs. Hollis looked grave. Then she raised her eyes to her husband's, a smile broke over the face of each, and Mr. Holls picked up his newspaper,* New York Evening Post. Pe rim Deagrars. Children. Professional beggars in Paris hire children to help them win money from the char table. There are certain rec- ognized centers for this abominable traffic, and a regular tariff is in opera- tion at these child markets. The trade is by fat' the briskest in winter. In ordinary times, when no special holi- day is in progress, a child of from 5 to 10 years may be had cheaply, the cur- rent charge being 18 pence a day, or 2 shi tings if the weather is very cold. Babies in arms or those who can only just toddle are more expensive, fetching double and treble this sum. On Christmas day and New Year's day, when beggars are practically not interfered with by the police and reap their richest harvests, the prices are much higher. As much as a sovereign has to be paid on these special occa- sions for a baby only a few months old, and even this sum is exceeded in the case of the hapless little creatures who are ill and who' are thus likely the more readily to move the passerby to pity. Older children on these holidays may be hired for 8 shillings. If the beggar continues at work throughout the evening, he has to supply the child with supper. He also has to under- take to pay for a doctor if his victim should fall ill from exposure.—Pall Mall Gazette. Duty Calls. The duty calls of a man are much the same as the duty, calls of a woman. With both sexes a call is obligatory aft- er an evening party, a luncheon, a din- ner, a supper, a theater party, and should "oe promptly made whether the invitatie.1 has been accepted or not. Persona t calls must be paid the newly married, and should be made on their reception days, if they have sent out cards. A personal call is due the bride's parents if you have been in- vited to the wedding reception. A per - Ronal call should be made on a young lady and her mother after the an- nouncement of the engagement of the former. After a death in the family of a friend a call should be made by inti- mate friends within ten days of the death. Those who are less intimate call Within a month. Such calls mean sim- ply the leaving of a card, and no effort is made to see the members of the fam- ily in mourning. After a long absence from home, friends, of course, call as soon as possible.—Leah Lanceford in Woman's Home Companion. Celine For Thanks, Lord Braxfleld was a man of few words, and when he courted his second wife he said to her; "Lizzie, I'in look- ing out for a wife, and I thought you just the person to trait me. Let me have your answer tomorrow." The lady, the next day, replied in the affirmative. Shortly after the mar- riage Lord Braxfleld's butler came to him, sayinL that be wished to give up his situation, as he could not stand her ladyship's continual scolding. "Man," Braxfleld exclaimed, "ye've little to complain of; ye may be thank- ful ye're no married to her I" Whence its Value. Hicks You know that "silence is golden.'

I will let the story explain his tions. ' "This young man arrived In Chicago one day without funds. but with plenty of nerve and push. He wanted money to secure a meal and pay his room rent until he could secure a position. Be- lieving he could find some man who would help him if he told his story In a straightforward manner, he entered a cigar establishment in Dearborn street. He was about to explain his condition and ask for assistance until he could get a position when the proprietor look- ed up with a fierce scowl. He turned to his partner, and they held a consul- tation in a whisper for a few moments. 'Now, take this $4 and don't bother ,me about that bill again. That's all you will get, and now yon eau get out of this place In a hurry ' .,xe!alwed storekeeper. "The young man was pushed toward. the door with the money ip his hand, and, try as be would. the storekeeper would not let him talk. Once in the street the bewildered fellow considered the matter in every detail and decided to keep the money. This he did. and a month or so later he again walked -into the cigar store and told his story and returned the money."—Chicago News. The Cult of Dirt. "Dirt is a giant bard to fight in beau- tiful Ireland. The woman who had never heard of 'washin a live wan' is, I think, equaled by another who cam... to me lately about her sore leg.

"Iu Sallyboggin for years a certain old woman levied a weekly tribute on Charitably disposed folk. All at once a 'nevvy' from America turned up, called on her 'patrons and after thanking them for their kindness car- ried off his mother's sister to end her days In comfort. But the widow Hool- igan—pronounced 'Ilooll'han'—did not lay her bones across the water. She soon reappeared. '1 couldn't stop in it. misthress, dear,' she explained to a lady. 'Me sister's son's a good blioy. but. between ourselves. they would ha' washed me to death.' "—Nineteenth Century. She Had Her Way. There 14 nothing like a determined spirit. As the old saying is, "What must be done can be done." The trou- ble with most of us is that our minds are only half made up. A charming old lady called at a car- penter's shop the other day bearing in her hand a little basket. "Have you a comfortable chair in the shop?"lhe asked of the carpenter. "A comfortable chair?" be repeated doubtfully. "Yes," she sweetly Said. "1 have come to stay until you have a man ready to go back to my house with me and do the work you have been prom- ising to do for three weeks. I have brought my luncheon and a book. and if you haven't a comfortable chair I'll have the_carriage cushions brought in. I'm going to -stay here...Anti' I get that man." The carpenter hastened to say that he could go at once just as well as not, and the old lady carried him away in triumph. Scotch Frania n ess, In a Perthshire village recently a gentleman got out his violin to enter- tain some friends, says the Dundee Journal. After he'had played a couple of tunes he paused for a moment and said: "I hope you like the music, for I dinna pretend to be a fiddler, you know, and I never will be. I always remember what a man told me when I first began to learn the fiddle.

The making of shark oil is the im- portant industry of McGarvin's Cove, near Riverside. The process of manu- facture is decidedly primitive. The sharks are caught in every imaginable way, by bait and hook, but principally with the seine. The livers, which con- tain the oil, after being taken from the fish, are rendered out in cans set over a brush fire, reminding one somewhat of the process of obtaining the oil from whale blubber. The oil is then put into casks and shipped to Los Angeles. The coarser grades are used In the making of tarpaulins and other oiled cloths for use aboard ships, while the finer grades are put into the so called cod liver oil of commerce. The sharks average from 10 to 25 cents' worth of oil apiece, and a day's catch usually nets about $40.—Riverside Press. Isolated People of the Earth. The people who live in the northern portion of the peninsula of Kamchatka are probably the most isolated in the world. The people have practically no communication with others than their own tribe, being seldom visited by travelers. The inhabitants of the New Siberian islands are also detached people, for they can only communicate with the mainland once a year' even if the weather is favorable. The pygmies of the great central Af- rican forests, if they can be called a tribe, have also been a people apart. For ages their existence was little more than legendary, and only two ex- peditions commanded by white men have ever penetrated into their abode. In India there is more wealth than in any country in the world. Gold, fab- rics, jewels and spices, for ages these have been produced and found in this land.

AN INTERESTING LEGEND OF THE FLOWERY KINGDOM. tTi ( • The Myth of Prince Darmal's Ampu- tated Eyelids, From Which Sprang the Plant That Gives Ls the Cnp That Cheers, but Doesn't Inebriate. In the youthful years of the nin teenth century the proposal was ma seriously, but apparently not entertai ed seriously, to make the tea plant t national flower of the United Stat And why? Because the advocates tea urged that it was the emblem resolution, and by some roundabo mental process they argued that t resolution displayed by strong tea w emblematical of the agency of tea molding the destinies of the America people at the celebrated Boston t party. As a matter of fact, tea Is mar uch o popular now in the United States tha it was when the whimsical propositio was made. We are not yet. like t English, a nation of tea drinkers, b tea is now on every restaurant bill fare—real tea and not pale yellow w ter. Most housewives know how make it, and afternoon tea is an este lished institution. Few persons know the Chinese rust of the origin of tea. A Chinese hist rian, to whom, as he has been dead f many thousands of moons and hu dreds of years, a grateful ackuowled went of indebtedness is hereby mad tells the story. He says that in tit early part of the sixth century Princ Darmal, the son of an indiau kl❑ landed in the Celestial empire. Darmal was a missionary. He too the utmost pains to spread throughou China a knowledge of the Hlndoo go and of the most remarkable of Us Hlndoo true religions, that which in r• cent years enlisted the sympathies au sometimes the active championship o Sir Edwin Arnold and other thinker men. This missionary prince mus have met with success, for all Chin men are not followers of Confucius a great many of them are Buddhists. Prince Darmal, to stimulate other by what be thought a good exempt subjected himself to privations of ev ery kind. He spent the greater part o his time bn the open air. He prayer frequently, and he often performer long fasts. In one of his fasts he vow ed that he would keep awake, but th flesh overcame the spirit, and he fel asleep. When he awoke, he was stil drowsy, but he roused himself by desperate effort. and. determined t make amends for his violation of bi oath of wakefulness, he cut off his of fending members — his eyelids — an threw them on the ground. Next day, after being awake all nigh —having no eyelids, he could not sleep that is the logic of the story—he foun that his cast off eyelids had taken roo in the soil and had sprung up into a shrub the like of which the earth hat never before produced. He plucke and ate some of the leaves of the shrub He became exhilarated. His strengt was restored. His drowsiness left him and he became more wide awake than ever before. In fact, he never again missed hi eyelids. Whenever he felt sleepy o tired he ate some of the eyelid leaves which may account for ties modern ex pression "Go, eat your eyelids." Dar - mal recommended the wonderful plant to his disciples and followers, by whos means its reputation increased an. since whose time It has been used gen erally. In due course of time some careles- Chinese servant spilt a cup of boilin water over a benvl of the eyelid leave - and, drinking up the liquor in orde that his carelessness might not be de- tected, was astonished at the result. With pitying and superior glances hx watched his master and his master' family and guests eat the tea leaves. Then, throwing himself upon the ground, he acknowledged his fault, fo they had been complaining that the leaves were rather damp, and infuse. for them all the liquor of the leaves 1, the simplest fashion, which 1s the Chi nese fashion unto this day—putting th leaves into cups and pouring boilin: water over them.. It Is to be hoped that no one wi think any the less of tea when be learns that it belongs to the natural or der ternstromiacea. Lindley remark: that, although many of the plants o this order come chiefly from China and America, after all they form an incon- siderable part of the whole number be- longing to bt. China contains seven or eight, North America four or five, while GO or 70 are beautiful trees and shrubs, natives of the woods of South America. About 20 varieties are known In the East In- dies, and one comes from Africa. India and Ceylon teas are almost as well known as Chinese. The plant Is called by the Chinese tcha or tha and te. In Malay it is teh. English speaking people used to pro- nounce it tay, as the French do, spelling It the, and the Germans. who spell it thee, at the present time. Pope, the English poet, rhymed It with obey, away and stay at various tires, in various poems.—New York Press. e - de n - be es. 0 0 u h a es n be ut 0 a- t, 0 n g e, g, a e oatspeeded the Swallow.

Formerly the sardines consumed in his country were all imported from ranee. Now about three-quarters of he sardines eaten in th eni L ted States e put up here, the chief center of fit. sardine industry in the United tares being the eastern coast of sine, though some sardines are now ut up on the coast of California. The ricking of sardines In this country was begun about 1886. Thousands of people now find em loyment In one part and another of he work in catching fish, in making ans and in canning and packing and arketing and so on. Sardines are put up in greater va- lety than formely, there being now - days sardines packed in tomato uce, sardines in mustard, spiced sar- Ines and so on, but the great bulk of -.ardines, both imported and domestic, re still put up in oil. Sardines are .ut up also in a greater variety of .ackages than formerly, there being, or example, various sizes and shapes .f oval tins, and some French sar- Ines are imported in glass, but as the treat bulk of all sardines are still put p in oil, so the great bulk of them are till put up in the familiar fiat boxes, he great majority of these being of he sizes known as halves and quar- ers and far the greater number of hese being in quarters. Sardines are .acked 100 tins in a case. and the con- sumption of sardines in this country s roughly estimated at from 1,500,000 o 2,000,000 cases annually. Like canned goods of every deserip. ion, sardines are cheaper now than .ey formerly were, and American sar- Ines are sold for less than the import - d. American sardines are now ex- .orted from this country to the West Indies and to South America.—New York Sun. CHOCOLATE FIENDS. here Are Those Who Become Slaves to This Nervadloothing Food, "The manufacture of chocolate," said . R. Anso of Brazil, "is a great Indus- ry. Of all the chocolate beans import- ed into the United States two-thirds go o one firm in Boston. and the other ird is distributed among the other anufacturers. The chocolates sold re of various grades. The Caracas hocolate is supposed to be the best. "If you take the various grades, tech- *tally known as the Caracas, the ench, the German and so on, and ake a piece of each and place them in pan of water and allow them to dis- olve, any expert will tell you which is he best chocolate. The better grades will leave no sediment. The others will. This is explained by the fact hat bn the cheaper grades the shell is round up and used as a 'filler.' The ighter the chocolate the better the :rade. The cheaper grades are dark ,wing to the ground up shell. "It is a queer thing about chocolate onsumption. There are chocolate lends, just as there are opium fiends, obacco slaves and liquor slaves. I = nnot tell you why it is, but if people .egin to eat chocolate the habit grows pon them. I don't think any amount f chocolate hurts any person. Of ourse the cheaper grades of chocolate •ave a large percentage of sugar in hem, and sugar is to a certain ex- ent injurious, but for the chocolate tself I don't think any one eats nough to hurt him materially. In ontradistinction to the exhilaration of alcoholic drinks chocolate seems to be - soother. Persons who are nervous nd irritable find it a food that in a way calms and soothes and satisfies hem. It Is queer, but it is the truth. be consumption of chocolate is in- reasing enormously in the United states,"—New York Tribune. Artificial Diamonds. It is well known that in the manufac- ure of carbon steel microscopic dia- onds are formed, and the curious act is stated by The Scientific Press hat from the examination of a num- . r of steels from a variety of process - s identical results were given. A . bete weighing 300 grams was cut from lump of steel and treated with nitric cid, the insoluble residue collected .eing mainly graphic carbon. After eing washed with water it was boil- ed three times with fuming nitric acid, hich partially dissolved the residue, ydrofiuorlc acid and then fuming sul- huric being used, there then remain - ng nothing but graphite, which, after • eing washed, was melted with chlo- te of potash. The insoluble residue btained fell to the bottom of a vessel Iled with Iodide of methylene, the tit- le transparent octahedrons visible hrough a microscope, which burned n a sheet of platinum without any sh, being the diamonds. The Thistle of Scotland. Once upon a time many hundred ears ago the Danes made war upon he Scots and invaded their country. l ne dark night, as they were march - ng upon an encampment of sleeping cots, one of their number trod upon thistle. The pain was so sudden nd intense that the man gave a loud ry. This awakened the slumbering cots, who sprang to arms and defeat - d the assailants.

Y •YYVVYYVYV 'VYYVYVYTnVS Those 01 tis who have always clung to the belief tent this plant of ours has its position in An aerial universe Of unlimited expansion, at which the soul Aches to think, intoxicated with eternity, will be startled by the, announcement that the 'limits of the universe have been reached by human vision, says the Philadelphia Record. This astound- ing information comes from no less an authority than Professor Newcomb, who is recognized as one of the great- est of living astronomers, if indeed he be not the most eminent of thou all. According to Professor Newcomb, evi- dence in accumulating which points to a probability that the small stars which our powerful modern telescopes have brought Into view do not look small by reason of their distance from this earth. but because they are really of inferior size-- Beyond them he be- lieves It probable that there are no oth- ers. In other words, if Professor New - comb's theory be correct we are actu- ally able to see the boundaries of our universe. The general form of this universe has been described to us. It is an enor- mous disk, the solar system being not far from the 'center. This disk, so in- conceivably vast, has a diameter four or five times its thickness, but as to the length of the diameter we cannot speak with accuracy, because we are not acquainted with the precise dis- tance of many of the stars. Fifty or a hundred years hence a great deal more will be known on that subject than we of today know. It has been esti- mated, however, that the distance across the disk from one side of the universe to the other is 20,000 (or may be 30,000) "light" years. In this esti- mate there 'is naturally a wide margin of guess. A "light" year is the distance which a ray of light will traverse in one of our years. The speed of light being 186,000 miles a second. a "light" year is equivalent to 5.869,588.980,000 miles. The distance across, the disk in question would therefore be this stu- pendous number of miles multiplied by 20,000 or by 30,000. Again, it takes a little over eight minutes for light to come to us from the sun. 93,000,000 miles away. The light by which we are able to see a very distant star through a telescope may have started from that star 25,000 years ago. As- suming that to be the case, It is 25,000 "light" years away from us. With the naked eye we can see about 5,000 stars, with a very powerful tele- scope we can lee about 50,000,000, and there is no telling how many millions more there are unobserved. The radius of the earth's orbit, a line 90,000,000 miles in length, not only vanishes from sight before we reach the distance of the great mass of stars, but from that distauce becomes such a mere point that the most delicate appliances fail to wake it measurable. Character of Thorite. Brigadier General A. D. Buffington, chief of the ordnance department of the army, in his annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30 speaks in terms of commendation of the new ex- plosive, thorite. All the tests of thorite have not been made, but those that have been carried out, he says, were very satisfactory and were designed to show that the mixture could not be ex- ploded by friction or by shock and im- pact. The last tests were made by mechanical means and by firings made from cannon of various calibers, some of the firings being against plates. In the experiments against plates the shells penetrating were recovered with- out material deterioration. Tests were also made to show the insensibility of this substance to heat and Its strength as shown by the fragmentation tests of projectiles. General Buffington says that as regards stability but little can be said at present, but a quantity of the mixture in storage for some time in an ordinary shed at the proving grounds, during which it absorbed considerable moisture, showed no dete- rioration. The subsequent drying of the substance indicated that its quali- ties when damp had not been impaired. In view of the results obtained in the tests of thorite the ordnance board, un- der whose supervision the tests have been made, reports that it is of the opinion that it is superior to any other material for adoption bn service, at least pending the development of any better material for the purpose. It re- mains, however, to secure a good de- tonating fuse. How Wild 45 and 15 Dof Here is an odd little piece of dog- gerel which appeared in The Gentle- man's Magazine 15 years ago, which gave rise to considerable discussion.

It Didn't *atter, A bluff old fernier with a loud voice got in at a little station and Walked down the aisle looking for a friendly face or a kindly eye, but not seeing any he asked the most sour looking on the car o man to move ve over and give him a seat. The fellow did so, but with a manner that indicated that the old man was anything but -welcome. The old farmer wanted to talk, and tried in every way to en- gage his seatmate In conversation, but the through passenger would have none of it. He turned his shoulder to the farmer and gazed out of the win- dow with a bored, expression on his ` er face. The old Parmwas determined to draw him out, and after several in- effectual efforts raised his voice loud enough to be beard all over the car and said: "I killed a hog yesterday for my winter's meat. How much d'ye think he weighed?" The through passenger looked worse bored than ever, but finally said, "I don't know anything about hogs." "Oh, wall, you might make a guess." "Well, say 300." "No, he didn't weigh that much. Guess again." "Well, I'll say 200." "Too high. He wasn't as heavy as that. Make another guess." "I'm not good at guessing. How much did he weighti anyhow?" "Well, you have• had two guesses. But you see he wasn't much of a hog, and I didn't weigh him."—Indianapolis Sentinel. She'll Never Tell. The last act was just closing at the Lyceum the other evening, and the actors and actresses were grouping for their final bow ensemble. In the house the ladies were putting on their gloves and getting their hats ready. A young man and a young lady well toward the front overheard this conversation: "Why, Mary, I'm afraid I can't get these on. They're awfully tight." "Oh, yes you can, Nell. Try again." Nell evidently tried again, for there was silence for a moment. "What shall I do? I can't get them on. That's what comes of wearing new shoes to the theater. They hurt me so that I simply had to take them off, and now they won't go on again. Oh"— The remaiuder of -the agony was lost in the applause which greeted the fall of the curtain. All that history records of the denouementof the interesting story is that a woman was etticed go- ing down the aisle with a pair of shoes under her aria. 'Whether she and Nell were one and the same is not certain. I! so, how she got out of the difficulty is not told. It was raining. and per- haps she wore her rubbers. But this only she and her friand know, and it Is. safe to say that she at least will never tell.—Detroit free Press. It Was Always Raining. In his book "Figures of the Past," Josiah Quincy tells of a journey that he made in stagecoach days—away back in 1862—from Boston to Washing- ton, with Justice Story of the federal supreme court: The justice was telling of the routine of the court's Washing- ton social life. "We dine," he said, "once a year with the president and that is all. On other days we take our dinner together and discuss at table the questions which are argued before us. We are great ascetics and even deny ourselves wine, except in wet weather." Here the judge paused, ,as if think- ing the act of mortification he had mentioned placed too severe a tax upon human credulity, and presently added: "What I say about the wine, sir, gives you our rule, but it does sometimes happen that the chief jus- tice will say to me when the cloth is removed, 'Brother Story, step to the window and see if it does not look like rain.' And if I tell him the sun is shining brightly Judge Marshall will sometimes reply, 'All the better, for our jurisdiction extends over so large a territory that the doctrine of chances makes it certain that it must be rain- ing somewhere.' " One on the Minister. A distinguished Massachusetts cler- gyman tells a story at his own ex- pense. He was on a tramp through the White mountains with another clergyman for a companion. One day they mounted the driver's seat of a stagecoach. As is often the case, the stage driver was an interesting char- acter, whose conversation abounded in good stories. The three speedily be- came friendly, and it was with reluc- tance that they parted at the end of the journey. "I'm glad to hey met yer fellers," said the driver on leaving them; "yer see, I haven't seen a man this summer—only ministers." The Teller Wouldn't Tell. Mrs. Brown—Our language is full of misnomers. For instance, I met a man once who was a perfect bear, and they call him a "civil engineer." Mrs- Smith—Yes, but that's not so ridiculous as the man they call a "tell- er" in a bank.

The swordfish is utterly without fear and will, like a buffalo or rhinoceros, charge anything that offends it, often doing an amount of execution hardly to be believed did not the evidence ex- ist. Combats between swordfish are most interesting and may be compared to a duel between two expert swords- men. Such a contest was observed off the long pier that extends out into the ocean at Santa. Monica, near Los Angeles, last year. Some fishermen noticed twe big fish leaping out of the water and dashing along the surface. Soon it was seen that they were sword- fish. The season was when the fish are ferocious. They had made sev- eral rushes and when observed- were at close quarters, striking each other powerful side blows like cavalrymen. This was unsatisfactory, and finally they separated and darted at each oth- er like arrows, the water hissing as their sharp dorsal fins cut through it. They evidently struck head on, one missing, while the sword of the other struck just below the eye and plowed a deep furrow in the fish, partly dis- abling it, so that it turned and attempt- ed to escape. But its adversary also turned and with a rush drove its sword completely through the body of its foe and held it fast, only wrenching its weapon loose when its enemy stopped swimming.—San Francisco Call. Put Through His Paces. The wealthy Briton is confessedly the most fastidious man living as to the quality of his personal domestic service. The concentrated energy with which an Englishman will rebuke his servant for an offense so slight that the average American fails to observe it bears out the above statement, and it is this social condition that has de- veloped the hyperaristocratic intelli- gence office bn London. Those who propose changing serv- ants are not content with references and a perfunctory interview with the man or maid under consideration, but insist upon a full dress rehearsal of both manners and appearance. The servant in livery is put through all his paces, must display the size of his calves, the haughtiness of his pose, as well as breeding In handling a card, announcing a guest or serving at the table. Nothing is taken for granted. The master and the mistress sit by and dis- cuss the points of groom or butler as they would those of a high priced horse or valuable dog. Domestics are taken with great seriousness by the upper ernes 11ng'lishrnc.:, and for U at reason nothing is left to luck bn peopling the servants' ball.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

When the German emperor was at school at Cassel, he and his brother, Prince Henry, lodged in an old castle near, but in the school the two boys were treated exactly Dike any other youngsters. On one occasion, it is re- lated, a master, knowing that Prince William was backward in Greek and wishing to curry favor with him, told him secretly what the subject of the next day's examination would be. Early next morning the prince went Into the classroom and wrote the in- formation on the blackboard in huge letters, not wishing to have any unfair advantage over his schoolfellows. ttneonstitationaL "What a wretched daub!" exclaimed the unsophisticated visitor at the art exhibition, turning to speak to a stranger.

The chief distinction between the Mauser and the Lee -Enfield is this— that while the Lee -Enfield has a maga- zine which is inserted underneath the body through the trigger guard and se- cured by a catch and is provided with what is called a "cut off" to prevent the cartridges from rising, so that it can be used as a simple breechloader for single firing until the magazine, which contains ten cartridges, is order- ed to be used, the Mauser has a maga- zine which, though not absolutely fix- ed, is only intended to be taken off for cleaning. It does not need a "cut off" to use as a single loader. The magazine contains five car- tridges, but whereas the cartridges for the Lee -Enfield have, when the magazine is charged, to be each put in separately, the magazine of the Mau - ser is filled at once by placing against the face of the magazine a set of five cartridges held in a clip which falls off when the cartridges have been inserted in the magazine. Thus if each weapon were at the be- ginning of a fight empty, the Mauser would permit of more rapid fire be- cause it could be loaded five cartridges at a time, while the Lee -Enfield would take, cartridge by cartridge, as long to load as a single breechloader. On the other hand, the times when a very rapid discharge of fire is desirable are not numerous, and for these the Lee - Enfield has ten cartridges ready against the Mauser's five.—Nineteenth Century. Key, Kee, Kay. Professor Skeet wishes to know when the pronunciation of key as kee can first be clearly detected. it occurs in Milton, "Comus," line 13: To lay their just hands on that golden key That open the palace of eternity. And a little later in Marvell's "Flee - no:" Now as two instruments to the same key Being tuned by art, if the one touched be, The other opposite as soon replies. These Instances are curious, for both before and after this time the prevaIl- ing pronunciation was evidently kay. Herbert rhymes the word with way. In "The Secrets of Angling" (1613) culverkeys is rhymed with rays. In Wither's "Mistress of Phil'arete" (1622), key with day. Dryden, too, and Swift have the same pronunciation, and not till I come to Green's "Spleen" (1737) do I, after an hour's search, find the other. There pleas rhymes with keys. This pronunciation must, how- ever, have become common soon after- ward. In Duncombe's "Imitation of Gray's Elegy" it is thymes wits me, and Gas - rick rhymes it with flea, which would, I suppose, be pronounced then as it is now. Nares, to his "Elements of Or- thoepy" (1764), says of the diphthong ey, "Its proper sound should be that of the long e. This, however, is given to it only in the word key, for ley—a field—is constantly written lea."—Notes and Queries. "More Sociable." A lady who has recently returned from abroad had a curious experience at the little town of Dinant, in Bel- gium. She was traveling in a party of three, including another lady and a young man. They sought accommoda- tion at a hotel and were shown a room in which there were three beds and on a deal table three basins and jugs about as big as slop basins and milk jugs. The ladies explained that one room was quite insufficient for their needs, but it was a long time before they could /get the hostess to understand why. They were then shown another room with three beds, three slop ba- sins and three milk jugs and were told that they could have that, too, if they liked to pay for the six beds. It was therefore arranged that the man should have one room and three beds and the ladies the other room and three beds. "Do you always sleep in threes?" said one lady to the hostess. "Yes," was the reply; "it is much more sociable."—Madame. Fanny Mea. The jests of Hellogabulus were very practical. He was fond of inviting people with some physical deformity to dinner and making jokes about them. At times he would invite a doz- en hunchbacks or a score of squinting ladies or an equal number of baldheads. Once he put a large number of exces- sively fat people, all very hungry, into a small chamber where dinner was waiting. There was no room to eat it. Another diversion of which he was fond was that of placing his guests on air sofas, so that when they were about to. drink he could let the air out and have both sofa and guest collapse. It is said that Nero, the Roman em- peror, liked to "shy" nuts at the bald heads of the prtetors who sat below during the performance at the theater, and they were expected to maintain their baldheaded dignity and refrain from "shying" them back at him.

"A yeung man and his wife, not long married," said the relator of the inci- dent, "lived down on the South Side, where they had a pretty little two sto- ry brick. One of their wedding pres- ents was a large clock which told the hours and the half hours by means of the cuckoo's cry instead of by the usual chimes or the sounding of a bell. One night the college fraternity a which the man was a member gave a banquet, and it was accordingly late when he arrived at the front door of his home. He thought that discretion was the better part of valor, so that when he got inside he began to remove his shoes before going up the stairs. Unfortunately he was not very happy in his execution of this act, for one of the shoes slipped and made a noise that could be heard all over the house. A moment later his wife's vaice came from the head of the stairway. "'Is that you, Charles?' "'Yesh, dear,' "'What time is it. Charles? " "Bout 12.' "'And then.' said Charles in telling the Incident afterward. 'that blamed clock began to cry out. But it cuck- ooed only three times. and 1 had to stand there like a fool and cuckoo the other nine.'

A Joke That Failed, During one of the legislative sessions at Albany Senator Thomas F. Grady wi, ... for his evening dress suit. He wisbed to attend a reception. When the satchel arrived at Grady's apart- ments, his roommate, Assistant Cor- poration Counsel Thomas J. Creamer, opened 1t, took out the dress suit and replaced it with one of his rainy day suits. "Let's get a crowd of senators here when Grady opens that satchel this evening," said Creamer. "All right," said Senator Timothy D. Sullivan. "Hurry up and get the sena- tors." As soon as Creamer left the room Sullivan took Creamer's old suit out of the satchel and put back Grady's even- ing dress suit - Senators , oggeshall, Ahearn, Coffey, Featherson, Martin and MeCarren were present when Grady opened the satch- el. As be carefully unrolled his dress suit the senators looked at Creamer. The latter was speechless. At last he stuttered: "The cigars are on me, boys."—New York Journal. Trick of the Sleight of Hoed Mag. The Anne Psychologlque has an in- teresting article by M. Binet, the well known French psychologist, on mental suggestion and prestidigitation, in which be shows that sleight of band and clever tricks do not make a pres- tidigitateur without a power of "sug- gestion" on the spectator. A skilled performer has a marvelous power of acting on the secret springs of the will. Thus he can generally make a person choose a figure below ten by the way he asks for It. If he wishes the person to choose five, he runs rap- idly over the first figures and dwells a little on "five" to suggest it to the memory. It is also curious that of such figures "seven" is the most likely to be chosen and "one" the least likely. A New Alcoholic Evil. A new evil of alcoholism is added to the already long list by Professor von Bunge.

The Hon. C. F. Staples, of Dakota County, has formally announced his candidacy for the railroad commis- sionership. Mr. Staples is admira- bly well fitted for the position in that he is versed in public affairs and is intellectually competent. . But his is the misfortune to be boomed by Bob Dunn, and that is more of an influ- ence against than for his success. Mr. Staples will do well to incur the enmity of Mr. Dunn.—Hutchinson Times. Among the herd of candidates who are up in the third district for rail- road commissioner we note the name of C. F. Staples, of Dakota County. Staples is the best man yet to declare himself as candidate, the only trouble is he is worthy of something better. The district could never get a better man as commissioner, and he would easily draw the required number of votes to be elected.—Hutchinson In- dependent. , C. F. Staples, the able representa- tive of Dakota County, is a eandidate for the republican nomination for state railroad commissioner. If the matter was left entirely with the peo- ple, Mr. Staples would have no diffi- culty in securing the office. He has earned an enviable reputation as a capable and upright publie servant as a member of the house of the state legislature.—Appleton Tribune. Beyond a doubt the east end of the third district will support Staples for one of the places on the railroad com- mission. And it would be a hand- some act for the whole district to be solid in his fever. The interests of the west end may lie with the second and seventh districts, but it is not improbable that they will join with the majority and make it unanimous. —St. Paul Review, The Hon. C. F. Staples, of Dakota County, has announced his candidacy for railroad commissioner on the re- publican ticket.

Staples,, of Dakota Cour v, has announced bis candi- dacy ' ar the railroad commissioner - ship at the hands of the next republi- can convention. Mr. Staples has honored Dakota County l represent- ing that district in the letislature for four terms, and in all these sessions he has taken a prominent part, and in the last three has been a leader whose counse-I was followed without ques- tion bt cause his colleagues uniformly had confidence in his integrity, his wisdom, and his ability to grasp and analyze the question in hand. He has rendered to the state of Minne- sota a most valuable service in its legislative department, and as an ad- ministrative officer with the care and attention he would give to details he would be a most valuable" man. He is a courageous fellow, and never stultifies himself for the purpose of making personal friends. His record in the legislature is a most striking proof of this statement. Possibly were he a little more pliable in some of these directions he might have been more popular with the boys in the recent sessions of the legislature. It is this integrity of character, this unswerving loyalty to his convictions of right and duty, which makes him so desirable a factor for the republi- can ticket. Mr. Staples' name on the ticket will bring strength to the party, . for he is known throughout the state as a staunch, tried, and true friendoof the people. There ought not to be, and The Times does not believe there will be, any serious op- position to the nomination of Mr. Staples by acclamation.— West St. Paul Tirnes. High School Notes.

During the past week the state press have very warmly commended the candidacy of the Hon. C. F. Staples, of Dakota County, for a place upon the railroad commission. None of them have suggested the eligibility, all seemingly taking it for granted. Still, it is a fact that he is a member of the present legislature, and it was this body that changed the office from appointive to elective. Whether a change of this sort comes under the ban of the constitution, The Times is not advised. But in this ease the office was created years ago, and the�- last legislature only changed the ni 'thod by which the incumbent should be selected. He has host of friends among the members of the state preKs,.and, if what they say in- dicates the favor he enjoys among republicans, his nomination is assur- ed—Renville Times. Cottage Grove Items.

The Social in District 32. To the Editor of The Gazette: The basket social given by Miss Allie P. Kingston at the home of Mrs. W. J. Simmons, in Marshan, last Friday evening to pay for an organ for District 32 was a decided success, financial as well as socially, the organ's wish, "Please pay for me to -night," being most liberally grant- ed. Our appreciation - was partly shown Miss Kingston in making her unique basket realize the most. The spacious dining room where the pupils rendered their selections was very tastefully decorated with ever- greens, banners, and school exhibits, the remainder of the house in ever- greens and cut flowers. The pupils deserve much credit for the charm- ing manner in which they performed their parts, especially the song entitled We coons are very pretty, but just a little shy, composed by Miss Kingston and sung by the Misses Chamberlain, Anderson, Frederickson, and Manners, dressed as darkies. The German piece en- titled The Saloon, spoken by Miss Bess Manners, needs especial men- tion. The success of this basket social was largely due oar- genial hostess. A SPECTATOR. - A. O.1J. w.

For some time past public sentiment has been in his favor, and all that seemed necessary was Mr. Staples' assent. As he has given it he is practically assured of a place on the ticket. His ability is conceded, and his long legislative experience will aid him in solving the knotty prob- lems which will come before the com- mission. • His integrity is unques- tioned, and his term as a public servant has been marked by a close adherence to the demands of his con- stituents and has gained for him the respect of party colleagues.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional dis- ease, requires a onititutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys- tem, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting na- ture In doing its work. The proprietors have so muci, faith in its curative powers that they of- fer one hundred dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.

One is that it bas the power when badly frighten- ed of withholding its scent. A covey, quickil► flushed, will scatter and lie so close the fleet dog to the world will overrun them, making no sign of point until the bird flutters up right under- foot. Another is that it has the faculty of simulating death, if taken winged in hand, and of coming quickly to life the minute the grasp is relaxed in the neighborhood of good cover. Further, the birds have a sort of barometric sense. A woodsman marking the direction in which quail feed can almost certain- ly foretell the day's weather. If they choose stubble or cornfields, it will be mild and moist; if they go to the open woods, he looks for wind and sun; if they scurry for thickets of brier and sedge, then he knows bitter cold is im- minent, Unless forced to migrate by lack of food a covey always sleeps within 100 yards of the nest it was hatched in, and this although it may have fed all day several miles away. The sleeping is done in a huddled ring, tails in, heads out, all around and so closely bunched that a good sized nap- kin will cover it. Instinct possibly lies back of the ring making. Thus the shy creatures hope to escape surprise from creeping vermin, minks, weasles, foxes, which steal upon them In the night. A Peculiar Dutch Custom. The four Sundays of November are observed as fete days in Holland. They are known by the curious names Re- view, Decision, Purchase and Posses- sion, and all refer to matrimonial af- fairs, November in Holland being the month par excellence devoted to court- ship and marriage, probably because the agricultural occupations of the year are over and possibly because the lords of creation from quite remote antiq- uity have recognized the pleasantness of having wives to cook and cater for them during the long winter. On Review Sunday everybody goes to church, and after service there is a church parade in every village, when the youths and maidens gaze upon each other, but forbear to speak. On Decision Sunday each bachelor who is seeking a wife approaches the maiden of his choice with a ceremo- nious bow and from her manner of re- sponding judges whether his advances are acceptable. Purchase Sunday the consent of the parents is sought if the suit has prospered during the week. Not till Possession Sunday, however, do the twain appear befgre the world as actual or prospective brides and grooms.—Philadelphia IIdger. - Saw Too Much. A farmer hired a man,and put him into his field to work. After awhile the farmer came along and accosted the new hand: "Did you see", carriage go down the road awhile ago?" "Yes, I did. One of the bosses was a gray hoss, and the other was a roan and lame in his off leg." "I thought I heard some men shoot- ing over there on the edge of the woods." "Yes; one of them was Colonel Jones. He was the tall one. The second one was Major Peters, and the third one was Tom McSniffer. Colonel Jones had one of them newfangled breech- loadin guns what breaks in two." "Did you see those wild pigeons fly over just now?" "See 'em? Rather. There -was 19 of them. They lit in that old cornfield down yonder." "Well, you see too much for a man that is hired by the day. Here's your wages. When I wept a man to keep watch of what is gog on, I'll send for you."—London Answers. The Doe anti Her Fawn. Fawns when first dropped are for some hours unable to stand. The doe does not remain beside them, but paces slowly around at a considerable dis- tance. Every now and then she gives a little tremulous, bleating call, at sound of which the fawn lifts its head and tries to struggle to its feet. Should a man or a dog appear meantime the doe runs away in a straight line, but lag- gingly and halting, as though herself hurt unto death. When she thinks she has lured the enemy far enough away, she givies three great flying leaps, which take her at once out of eight, and goes back to her baby upon seven league boots. But if left undisturbed she keeps up the pacing until she sees the fawn standing, then paces daintily away in a straight line, choosing al- ways the easiest grade. As she paces she calls faintly and every now and then halts, looking over her shoulder to see if she is followed. His Very Own Jones. There are many Joneses in this world, but perhaps not quite so many as peo- ple think. Not long ago two friends met who had not seen each other for ten years, since their school days. "Whom did you marry, Billy?" asked one. "A Mies Jones of Philadelphia," re- plied Billy, who was a trifle sensitive. "You always did take to the name 'Jones.' I can remember when we went to school together you used to tag around after a little snub nosed Jones girl." - "I remember it, too," said Billy. "She's the girl I married."—Youth's Companion. Net Hi. Style. "A musician out of work, are you?" said the housekeeper. "Well, you'll find a few cords in the woodshed. Sup- pose you favor me with an obligate." "Pardon the pronunciation, madam," replied Peripatetic Padroosky, "but Chapin is not popular with me."—Cath- olic Standard and Times. The Opportwaity. "Bilkins got married rather suddenly, didn't he?" "Yes. Somebody gave him a railroad pass to New York good for two, and he didn't want to waste it."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. When a man lemissing, every one's first impulse is to count the women left In town to see if ono is sbort.— l&tciiison Globe. His Imagination. During one of the Napoleonic cam- paigns a Frenchman was tripped up by a spent cannon ball, but without being injured in any way. He thought both his legs had been carried off and lay on the ground all night, suffering ex- cruciating agony and never moving for fear of encouraging the bleeding. Next day the medical officer, coming around, said to him, "What has happened to you, comrade?" "Ab," he answered, "please touch me gently! A cannon ball has carried off both my legs!" The Oratory of Galleries. The oldest Christian structure in Ire- land is a remarkable.building, evident- ly very ancient, but wonderfully well preserved, at Dingle, in County Kerry. It is popularly known as the "Oratory of Gallerus." Who Gailerus was his- tory does not say, but as the oratory has stood practically uninjured for more than a thousand years he was probably one of the converts of St. Patrick. • Kaffir Greeting, "Sake bona" are the first words a stranger learns of the Kaffir vocabu- lary. The expression is the common form of salutation used by the natives, and its literal translation is, "I see you." It is considered a mark of re- spect not to give the greeting Imme- diately, the delay showing the reve. ence in which the native holds his visitor.—Philadelphia Record.

"Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessant- ly, and could not sleep. She finally dis- covered a way to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Dis- covery for Consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night; and with two bottles, has been absolutely cured.

She wanted him to eympathize; Alas, the man sat down As though there were no such thing as An uncompleted gown! He merely gazed away at space And twirled hie thumbs, nor saw The bitter tears that streaked her face Nor seemed to care a straw. She left the soulless wretch and threw' Herself upon her bed And mourned that she was treated so And wished that she were dead. "Ah, men are selfish brutes!" she sighed, "Who neper think nor care!"

But There Was s Good Beason. BY MAJOR ARTHUR GRIFFITHS. It happened 50 years ago, when the north and eastern frontiers of the old colony were perpetually harassed by the Kaffirs. We little realize nowadays the constant turmoil and trouble that prevailed in places where there are now railways and a settled population, who employ as their servants descend- ants of the very men who were for- ever at war with us. Things were so bad that the natives had at one time shut up the governor of the colony, Sir Harry Smith, in a small fort, from which be only cut himself out after a daring hand to hand fight. This was after he had gone out in force with about 1,500 men to overawe the tur- bulent tribes and got very much the worst of it. At this time, about the end of 1850, there were quite 15,000 Katlirs in the field against us, and 10,000 more were on the point of joining them under Krell, au influential chief of very doubtful loyalty. I have often heard my father tell of the terrible state of things that pre- vailed throughout the north of the colony. The whole district was per- petually devastated by marauding Kaffirs. The savages overran the country as far as Somerset and even farther to Grahamstown, sweeping up all the cattle, sheep and horses they could find ani committing the most frightful atrocities. In a few months as many as 200 farmhouses were burn- ed to the ground, and large quantities of bread and corn, with other farm produce, had been wantonly destroy- ed. So serious was the situation that the settlers formed themselves into a defense association, and. the governor appointed a solemn day of humiliation in the English and Dutch churches. At the same time a body of troops was collected at Grahamstown, supported by regiments recently arrived from England, and a serious campaign was undertaken against the Amatola moun- tains, which the enemy were said to be holding in force. My father's regiment was the —th. They had been in the colony for a cou- ple of years and more or less continu- ally engaged in all the recent fighting, and they knew what determined ene- mies they bad to deal with. We are apt to forget nowadays when the Kaffirs are peaceful fellow colonists what fierce fighters they were. My fa- ther thought them one of the finest savage races in the world. We have seen and heard so much since then of the Zulus, a kindred race, that we are apt to forget what formidable oppo- nents the Kaffirs were in those early wars—men of magnificent physique and undaunted courage, armed with the terrible assegais, which they wield- ed with great skill, hurling them with accurate aim and incredible force to great distances, and when at close quarters stabbing with the cruel broad blade that was more than a match for the bayonet. They had firearms, too, and had learned to handle the musket with good aim and precision, while, al- though their tactics were essentially of a loose order, suitable to their rugged bush country, they had a certain co hesion and discipline imparted to them by brethren who had served in the lo- cal Cape corps. It was about June 24, 1851, that Gen- eral Somerset moved forward into Kaflirland from Fort Hare with a force of 2,000 men—horse, foot, guns and irregulars—destined to attack the Amatolas. What followed let my fa- ther tell in his own words: "The night before the column march- ed a new officer joined our regiment and reported himself for duty. He came straight to the colonel's mess, which was no more than a campfire in the open, on which bubbled a steam- ing kettle of soup and around which, 'tlntot' in hand, were squatted the colonel, the senior major and myself, the junior. "'Some one to see you, sir,' said the orderly, introducing a figure wrapped in a great blanket coat, but still shiv- ering in the keen night air. "'What can I do for you?' asked the "TT colonel, a little offhand, for he was the sharp set and did not want to miss his act! share of the soup. oper "'I have come- to join, sir, Assistant will Burgeon Julyan; landed last week and the ordered to join headquarters as soon as time t could-' All this was said in a rather saul thin treble voice, no doubt made weak- fell, er by the nervousness of the situation. it w "'Well, you are welcome enough. lost We expect to be engaged tomorrow or lay t next day, anti there's no saying now thig -IDSny of us may not be hit. Here, war Granville'—this was the adjutant, who Whe also belonged to the, colonel's dinner lean mess—`take him over to the surgeon. me Have you had any grub?' .t ' "The newcomer confessed than he open hili not tasted food that day, and he have was immediately made hospitably come to a share in the contents o camp kettle. After that he took self off to the regimental hospital t "The regiment marched off morning or, as It seemed to me, in middle of the night. We forme on parade in perfect silence, the w of command, issued in a whisper, ed on from mouth to mouth, and column, starting noiselessly, at commenced the ascent of some steep ground. By daylight we reached a ridge from which the my's position was visible, and al re brisk skirmish had commenced tween them and our advance It had been a stiff, steep climb, none of us was sorry to halt and upon the ridge. Casting my around. I soon discovered our ne joined 'sawbones' in the center o group of laughing, chaffing youngst who were treating him after fashion as a 'Johnny Raw.' "He looked in truth a raw, half fo • ill grown youth, younger than age, which must have been two three and twenty, or he could not got his diploma. His figure was slight and fragile, his face pe smooth, with a clear, fresh complex He had a shy and shrinking mann and I could plainly see that it was and anguish to him to be made butt of his harebrained comrades. " 'What is the use of sending ou whipper snapper of a chap like -y You'd hardly have the pluck to am tate the leg of a fly,' I heard one s akern say as I drew near. "'Wait till you're under fire, M Mary,' added another. "'Stay behind with the hospi stretcher; that's my straight tip, M dear!' cried a third, and the rest, cat !ng up the epithet, a chorus of voi began to sing 'Mistress Mary, qu contrary, how does your garden gro "'Come, come, young gentlemen, protested sharply, 'leave Mr. July alone. He may shame some of y yet when there's real work to be do Anyhow he's a newcomer and rho be better treated.' "The tears gathered in the dark, yes of the hunted young doctor hey were turned gratefully to mi ud-I saw that he wanted to press and. But at that moment the ord came to fall in.

'He rose to his feet at my wo th a start; one last shudder, an un ntrollable spasm, as it were, of th ony he had endured, swept over him d then he ran forward at full speed. I saw no more of him till the end of day, and then only for a moment, the casualties had been many, the spital was full, and the surgeons re excessively busy. I heard only ood of young Julyan. His chief spoke him with enthusiasm as a most skill - operator, with marvelous dexterity d lightness of touch. As for his mo- entary weakness, akin to the well own 'stage fright,' but infinitely rse, no one knew of it. That painful sode was kept a close secret be- een us. But be had not forgotten it nor t I had done for him, on which he uld insist with exaggerated insist - e. A few days later he came to me h a pretty hoop ring, which be ur- tly asked me to accept. 'It is not much. But it was my ther's. and I should like you to wear n "memory of your exceeding kind- s, sir." ' I told him I would do nothing of the d, and I believe I swore at him as a y, sentimental young ass.

It Is oniy a question of patience. They'll pick you up by and ' by.' 'But you must not stay by me,' 1 protested. 'Go on after the regiment at once. 1 order you.' - "'And the colonel ordered me to re- main here with you,' he answered briefly. 'It's not because I am afraid.' "It was not indeed, as he soon show- ed beyond all doubt. For although the fight had swept away beyond us, fugi- tives, or broken parties of Iiaffirs, be- gan to drop back, and we were sud- denly attacked by half a dozen sav- ages who were lurking among the trees. 'Give me your revolver,' said Jul - yen. 'I can use It.' "They were not very common in those early days, and it was fortunate I had one. But for that revolver and the splendid use Julyan made of it t should never have been able to ten this story. When they rescued us a little later, there were four dead Kadin within range, - and a trail of blood showed where a fifth had limped wounded away. But Julyan had not escaped. He had one assegai in his arm and was pinned to the ground by another in his leg. They were flesh wounds, happily, and soon healed. I, too, recovered after a time. "That is my father's story, and"— The major here stopped abruptly, as though he had said his say, but his lis- teners were by no means satisfied. "Go on, man, go on; surely that's not all?" "Ifs not quite all my father told me, nor, indeed, all that 1 know. The rest is rather personal, and I'm not sure— Well, you insist—here goes: They had, - 0f course, to take Julyan to hospital, and it was there that a most extraor- dinary discovery was made. The young assistant surgeon was a female. You may take that c rions tact as explain. - ing much that had happened and all that eventually came to pass, for my father married her shortly afterward and left the service."—Navy and Army Illustrated. ASTRONOMICAL GHOSTS. Stara Which People See Before Thep Are "Diseoyered." Borne months before the discovery of the fifth satellite of Jupiter by Profess- or Barnard at Lick observatory, says the Boston Transcript, a Lowell Ivan who is a poor sleeper, becoming rest- less, lighted the gas and took up a Bos- ton newspaper in order to while away the time. His eye soon fell upon an interesting item, I1CIid as a natural con- sequence he immediately went to sleep. The next morning on awakening he said to his- wife: "A tifth satellite of Jupiter has been discovered at Lick. 1 read about it Last night hi the paper." Time went on, and he heard nothing more.of it. He thought it strange, but. being busy with other matters, neglect- ed to investigate the matter- Judge of his surprise on taking up his newapa per one morning months after to read of the discovery the previous night of this fifth satellite at this very observa tory. The discovery was outside of what might have been logically and naturally anticipated, and therefore to dream of it long before it took place does not seem a mere coincidence or "happenstance." it recalls the well known fact that the genial Swift in his writings mentions two satellites of Mars which were not only unkuown to science in his day, but were unknown for a long time afterward, "the snowy poles of moonless Mars" being a Tamil Mr quotation from a poet so recent and accurate as Tennyson. These tiny moons were first discovered by Hall not so very many years ago at Wash ington. Another singular thing about the fifth satellite is that the late Robert C. Winthrop believed it had been seen somewhere about 10(10 by Governor John Winthrop in Connecticut. but this was impossible with the means at his command, for, as Professor Barnard says, "this satellite Is game only for the greatest telescopes." The governor's satellite was In all probability' what is called in astronom- ical parlance a "ghost," an apparition responsible- the world over for much confusion and chagrin. These as- tronomical "ghosts" can be seen at any time by simply turning your back to a large planet, or bright star, when it is well above the horizon and then catching its reflection in an ordinary hand mirror. My friend's satellite turned out, however, to be the genuine article, seen no one knows how. Drinking Ether. In eastern Prussia the director of the asylum for the insane recently called the attention of the government to the fact that in his district ether drinking was fast supplanting the use of 41co- hol. In the city of Memel alone, situ- ated in the extreme northeastern part of Germany, the sale of ether destined as a drink for the past year is officially stated to have amounted to 8,580 quarts, to which must be added a large quantity that was passed through by sinuggiing and which therefore es- caped official counting. In the district of Heydekrug a still more considerable quantity is annually sold as a stimu- lant. The ether is sold by liquor dis- pensers and retailers over the counter to the consumers in drinks averaging from four to five grams, this dose pro- ducing more exhilaration as well as more immediate stimulation than would ordinarily be produced by four times the same quantity of ordinary alcohol. The after depressing effects, however. and for the amount taken, far more than counterbalance the after effects of alcohol, the victim of the ether habit suffering greatly from diffused pains and from great mental and physical depression. In those regions given largely to ether drinking all diseases of the liver, kidneys and other organs that usually suffer from alcoholic satu- ration or excesses are greatly on the increase and prone to run a much more rapid course.

Accord g to the Merchant Who Told This Fairy Sto- ry, the Road to competence is Smooth and Easy of Travel. Once upon a tiwe several rich Hindoo merchants were whiling i vu the time talking over their affnit - All except one were of the opiuiou t:::It in busi- ness no oue could gather %. caltb who had not a solid capital to begin with. Then he who held differently and who was the richest of them all spoke up and said: "Of a truth it is very easyto acquire a great fortune when one has but to add treasure upou treasure. As for ,me, 1 earned my riches without so much as a groat to begin upou. Listen, and I will tell you wy story. "My father died before I was born. He had been very rich. but my tuother was only a poor widow. without sup- port or protection. All the wealth that her husband had left her was taken from her by greedy relatives. and as she even feared for her life she sought refuge at the home of a friend of my dead father. "There It was that l was brought in- to this world. My dear mother. of whom later I became the sole support, was then obliged to gain her livelihood as best she could. She had to work very bard for very small wages. Not- withstanding she managed . to save enough from her scauty earnings to pay for a master who taught me to write and to figure. — "On the day when 1 completed these humble studies my mother called me to her and said: 'As your father was a merchant before you, so also should you be a merchant. There Is in our town a rich banker who is called WlsakhlIa. This generous man makes a practice of lending capital to the sons of merchants who have lost their own means. Go and pray him to open hls purse unto you as be has done unto others.' "No sooner said than done. But when 1 entered the private office of the banker he was In very bad hu- mor. I" found him scolding roundly a young man, the son of a merchant, who stood before him with bowed head: "'Do you see that dead mouse on the door there?' he exclaimed angrily to him. 'There Is a piece of merchan- dise out of which a smart man might make a fortune. As for you, good for nothing, I have already lent you an ample sum. Not only have you failed to add to your Capital, iett by your folly you have squandered it all.' At these words i advanced toward the banker and spoke: "'Allow me,' said 1, 'to borrow from you the piece of merchandise of which you spoke.' So saying i picked up the mouse and went my way. Notwith- standing his anger the good man was so struck with my simplicity that he could not restrain a smile. "In the street 1.came across a grocer standing In the doorway of his shop stroking a beautiful cat. I offered him my mouse. He accepted It and in ex- change gave me a few handfuls of peas. I carried them home, roasted them and made my way to the out- skirts of the town, taking care to bring with me a water jar filled to the brim with fresh, cold water. Ar- riving at a crossroad, 1 seated myself In the shade of a great tree. 1 was scarcely settled when along came a party of woodcutters, their shoulders bent beneath their loads and their faces tanned by the sun. 1 arose and, bowing humbly before them, set forth my peas and refreshing drink. As a reward each made me a present of two bundles of fagots, which 1 car- ried to the market. I sold them, and with the money rnade in this way 'I bought some more peas, t1 larger quan- tity this time, and 1 repeated my course of th"prevlous day. Soon 1 was able to set aside the greater part of my fagots. and. notwithstanding my selling the remainder, 1 quickly earned so much money that at last I could buy up all the stock of the wood- cutters. i continued selling some and saving some until I had collected a considerable quantity. "The rainy season was approaching, and In due course the rain fell In tor- rents, and dark clouds obscured the sky. As for several weeks It did not cease raining, the roads leading to the woods were soon quite Impassable. The weather, too. was very cold, and soon there was a great scarcity of firewood, which In consequence rose in price. This was the time to sell my stock. 1 made a neat profit. I rented a stall at the market and stored it with different kinds of merchandise. By prudence and forethought 1 succeeded in my en- terprise. My trade extended from day to day, so that after awhile 1 was able to retire with a competence, respected by all my fellow citizens. "Then I ordered from a skilled gold- smith a golden mouse, which I sent to Wieakhila, the banker from whom I bad borrowed my first capital. The good man, perceiving that notwith- standing my youth I was well versed In business affairs and that I had turn- ed to good account something which even he had reckoned at little value, gave me his daughter to marriage. "This, then, is the history of my for- tune, which proves that money is not always essential to amass wealth in business."—Washington Post. It may well be said that life is monot- onous.

Itallaus iu Came have a delightful little game. wi.ich is called the "passa- telta." It is played mostly nowadays in low drink shops. and. as It leads fre- quently to murder. the police are anx- ious to stop it. Round a table some men are smok- ing. At the head sits a man with a flask of wine and a glass before him. He is the president of the party. All the company, including the president. have paid for that flask of wine. but not one of them can drink a drop of it unless the president gives permission: He, however, may drink as often as be likes. When be passes the glass to an- other, that other niay drink until the president cries "Stop!" and the glass Is passed on to the next. Sometimes the "stop" comes before a single drop is drunk. This is the fun for the others who are allowed to drink. A good natured president rarely re- peats this joke, but it sometimes hap- pens that be has a grudge against one of the men. and then the unfortunate victim sits the whole evening. smoking and frowning. while he sees all the others drink. This is making an "Ol- mo" of him. And woe to a president who would make an "Olmo" of the same man twice. for hewould soon have a knife run across his throat. It Is the frequency of such a tragic end that causes the police to try to prevent the game when possible. Modern Meaning of the Word Gun. "The evolution of the word 'gun' forms an Interesting study in up to date_,etymotogy," remarked one of a party of newspaper men. "A dozen years or so ago we all understood gun to mean a fowling piece—a shotgun as distinguished from a rifle or musket. Heavy and light ordnance—in fact, all pieces of artillery, without regard to size—were known as cannon. That. of course, was where people made au ef- fort to speak English. Out on the frontier the word gun was applied ex- clusively to pistols. "Nowadays the nomenclature has curiously changed. By degrees the good old word gun has become monop- olized by the long, slim, murderous ma- chines that constitute our modern artil- lery. We speak of quick firing guns, eight Inch, ten inch, twelve inch guns, and the word seems singularly apropos. They are not cannon. Cannon imme- diately suggests the big. lumbering. black throated smoothbores of the past. The word conjures up all sorts of curious antique pictures—swabbers naked to the waist, motionless men holding lighted matehets frigates lash- ed together and firing into each other's ports, sepoys bound to the muzzle, neat geometric pyramids of round shot in neat, geometric forts, the charge of the Light lTtgatie-'and lots of Other things too numerous to mention."—New Or- leans Times -Democrat. The Jigger In Uganda. Several aenoys were still: ring from that African pest, the "jii;er," whose scientific name of Pulex pettetrans de- scribes him and his habits concisely and well. He Is an exact reproduction t in miniature of the common flea (Pules Irritants). but instead of merely Inflict- ing a comparatively innocuous bite he burrows under the skin. close to the toe nails for preference. and then pro- ceeds to propagate the species. Unless he is very carefully removed the sores cause the most intense Irri- tation and may lay a man up complete- ly. The usual method of removing hien is to widen the hole In which he has entered and then extract him. Intact if possible, with a needle, care being tak- en that no eggs or young are left be- hind. The place should then be dressed to prevent festering. 1 t is not advisa- ble to march much after removing jig- gers, iggers, but unfortunately it is frequently unavoidable. I may mention that Lieutenant Colo- nel Macdouald once told we that dur- ing his first visit to Uganda sotue na- tives caught a leopard In one of the banana plantations whose feet were so thoroughly diseased from jiggers that he was quite unable to move or to de- fend. htlimit—Black wood. What a Drier Pipe Really Is. The so called brier pipe is not made of brier at all. "Brier" is acorruption of the French word "bruyere," mean- ing heather, and the misnamed brier is In reality the wood of the heather. This peculiar corruption, like many others, is solely due to the English tradesman, who, finding the correct word "bruyere" somewhat difficult for the British tongue to negotiate, quickly reduced it to the more familiar "brier," and the wood has been known by that name ever since. The heather thrives in great profu- sion on the rocky slopes of the Tuscan Alps in North Italy and on the moun- tain sides In Corsica. A little is also to be found in Algeria, though this is not of a sufficiently high quality to be used for the best English pipes. A few years ago the plants flourished on the French side of the Jura mountains, but this supply has long since been ex- hausted. The only brier to be obtained at the present day from France grows to the Alps Maritir-tus, near Nice, but even in this neighborhood the root Is so scarce that it would not pay the peas- ants to work it. Hence there is no such term as "French brier." His Time to Fight. "When General Brant was press dent," said a Washington man, "a cer- tain friend of bus came out of the wrest to see him. One day, just after leaving the White House, this friend fell In with a fellow westerner In the White House grounds, and a heated encounter took place, which suddenly terminated by the general's friend knocking the other man down and out. "The matter was bushed up. but the general, naturally indignant, called hla friend to account, saying: 'John, you've treated me and the office 1 bold with much discourtesy. Why did you do such a thing? "'Well. It was this way, general,' re- plied the now thoroughly penitent one. 'You know tbere was bad blood be- tween us, and be had set all sorts of stories going about me. .1 ust after leaving you 1 ran Into hitt, and he at once accused me of doing a certain thing. As it was a Ile 1 only laughed at him. Then be accused me of some- thing else, and that being also a Ile 1 jeered at him again, but his third accu- sation was true. and. by gad, sir, 1 couldn't stand that, so 1 knocked him down.' "—New York 'Tribune. Dodging Shells la Battle. An old army officer, speaking of -dodging shots and shells in battle, said that in all his years of experience he had only seen three or four shells actu- ally in the air, and they came from the gun he himself fired. He explained that there are a few guns with somewhat slow murals ve- locity, and the men firing these can sometimes catch a glimpse of the shells in their flight, but it would be Impossible for any man to see a shot coming toward himself. Dodging shells Is done by getting un- der cover immediately before a gun is actually fired.

Pay Day In China. New Year's Is the national pay day in China. All accounts must be squar- ed up at that time. and the man who can't raise money'enough to pay his debts has to go into bankruptcy. The laws are such that the creditor can en- ter the debtor's house and take what he pleases if there is no settlement. To prevent such action families club together and make all sorts of com- promises to keep up the business repu- tation of the clan. New Year's is a great day for the pawnbrokers. Their shops are crowded with people who want to redeem their best clothes be- fore the new year. There are crowds also who want to pawn other things in order to get money to pay their debts. Pawnbrokers receive high rates of interest, in which they are protect- ed by the government. The Chinese paint the whole oountry red on New Year's day in more senses than one. Red is the color which with them denotes good luck and prosperi- ty, and all the New Year's cards and Invitations are on paper of that color. Every child gets its New Year's pres- ent wrapped in red paper, and red in- scriptions are pasted over the doors of the houses.—London Mali. The Orambltng start. A noted divine has declared that a husband's grumbling and scolding were often only his way of beginning a conversation, s.nd be maintained that if a man were sulky the worse he wits the more cheerful his wife should be. Certainly husband and wife should bear and forbear, he says, and the soft anewhr tprneth away wrath more ef- fectively by the domestic hearth than elsewhere. Then business is often wor- rying, and the husband coming home needs and usually deserves to find there all soothing and calming influ- ences. But surely ft should be mutual kindness. At times the than must take his turn in meeting irritability or law spirits with cheerfulness and kind, gentle consideration. As to the theory that the wisest and best course is for the wife of a sulky, tyrannieal man al- ways just to give in and crouch before the storm, he does not think that is ei- ther good policy or real kindness Ulti- mately to the man .himself. x Took Her Constn'! Piaee. One day a young Swelle. a student at the University of Bertin, received a letter from his uncle swing that his daughter, the young *ran''. cousin, would stop in Berlin for$ few days on her way to Ems and would he kindly meet her and show her the city. The mail coach arrived ami _ with it the young lady, who found * fine looking young fellow with a vivid boutonniere awaiting her arrival. He accompanied her to the hotel. The following morn- ing he called and took her driving in an elegant brougham. These atten- tions continued during the three days of her visit. The lady ifppeared over- joyed at the gallantry et this cousin, whom she had '*ever mei before. On the day of her departure, while assisting her into the nail coach. the young man said, "1 eanaot let you de- part without makingconfession." The lady blushed a dropped her eyes.

The dampness of dwelling houses is pronounced by a writer to The BoUen- tiac American dangerous from a two- fold point of view—first and primarily in itself and, second, because of the long lite which it gives to the elements of contagion and infection. It 1s as certafned that the microbe of typhoid fever remains alive for three days. that of diphtheria a montb and that of pneumonia from 13 days to three weeks. Contrary to the traditions of the "elegance" of dwellings, which causes the walls to be covered with tapestry or paper in imitation of It, scientific experience would now advise tbe employment of stucco or good var- nish as being best from a bacterio- logical point of view, both because they are easily washed and because they possess the property of cleansing Ibemselves promptly and spontaneous- ly of pathogenic germs which become lodged in them.

Tie woman got up to leave the car, and in the corner of the seat where she had been sitting the man spied a piece of black net. Jumping for it, he called out: "Madam, you have left your veil!" As she took no notice of him he dashed down the aisle after her, and, touching her on the elbow again, said: "Madam, you have left your veil," at the same time holding it up in full view of all. It was a frowsy, frayed, torn piece of black cotton net. "It is not mine, sir!" she snapped out, giving him a withering look, and the obliging old man shrank back as if he had been jabbed with a hatpin, while the passengers grinned. "Why was she so mad about itT' he asked in a dazed way as he laid the homely little rag on the window sill. "I guess you never paid for a wo- man's finery," said another man. "That's so," said the withered one in a hopeless tone. "I am a bachelor. Perhaps I'd know more if I'd mar- ried." "You would that," said the other feelingly.—New York Tribune. Soldiers of Fortune.

And, 1n the Inter- est of truth, it must be added that those who Inhabit the coast counties from Kerry to Donegal, Inclusive, are also fully alive to its seductive merits. Indeed, many doctors—local. of course —will tell you that well made poteen is better in sickness than the adulter- ated whisky usually met with in the small public houses in this region of poverty, for in the Connemara country at any rate the Illicit whisky Is made of pure malt, though rumor has It that the less particular palate of Donegal. for instance, is satisfied with a tire water mainly made from molasses, po- tatoes — aye, sometimes from almost any other rubbish you please.—Cham bers' Journal. Resting the Muscles. When a man is tired, he stretches his arms and legs and yawns. Birds and animals, so far as possible, follow his example. Birds spread their feathers and also sawn, or gape. Fowls often do this. Fish yawn; they open their mouths slowly until they are round, the bones of the bead seem to loosen, and the gills open. Dogs are inveterate yawners and stretchers, but seldom sneeze unless they have a cold. Cats are always stretching their bodies, legs and claws, as every one knows who has a cat for a pet. Horses stretch violently when and after indulging in a roll, but not, as a rule, on all fours. A stag when stretching sticks out his head, stretches his fore feet out and hollows his back and neck as though trying to creep under a bar. Most ruminant animals stretch when they rise up after lying down. Deer do it regularly; so do cows. This fact is so well known that if a cow, when arising from lying down, does not stretch herself it Is a sign she is ill. The reason for this is plain—the stretcb moves every muscle of the body, and if there be any injury any- where it hurts.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Healthful Cars. The American Academy of Railway Surgeons is moving In the direction of making railroad cars more healthful. It long has been felt by the profession that reform in the hygiene of railway travel is Imperatively needed, and the new movement promises to be both ac- tive and effective. It is shown that the material used in furnishing railway Coaches—plushes and velvet cushions, woolens and draperies of every kind— afford the best possible nest for the protection and preservation of germs, and they are also the most difficult to clean. It is now recommended that cars be finished and furnished with a smooth surfaced material, like hard- wood or leather, which, while capable of being quickly cleaned, will lend it- self to the most tasteful arrangement. Not only should plush, velvet and dra- pery be almost entirely done away with, but there should be less emboss- ing and carving in the ornamentation of the oars. The tendency in this cons - try in the matter of decoration 1s to ex- travagance, and In railway cars this overelaboration greatly Increases the labor of keeping the cars clean.

Supposing a woodchopper in the Maine forest is told to get out a mast for a yacht. He knows that he must find a tree which is straight for 60 feet below the branches. It would be very troublesome to climb trees and measure them with a tape measure, so he, without knowing it, uses prac- tical trigonometry. He measures off 00 feet in a straight line from the tree, and then be cuts a pole, which, when upright in the ground, is exactly as tall as himself. This he plants in the earth his own length from the end of his 60 feet. For example, if he is six feet tall, he plants his six foot pole 54 feet from the tree. Then he lies down on his back, with his head at the end of the line and his feet touching the pole, and sights over the top of it. Ho knows that where his eyes touch the tree is almost exactly 60 feet from the ground.—Weekly Bouquet. Filial Love. That's a pathetic story of the Gour- don fishing boat crew. No class of men face death more frequently than the hardy fisher toilers of the sea, and among none is a genuine heroism more frequently displayed. The Gourdon boat was manned by a father and his four sons. When the boat sank, three of the latter went with her. The old man got an oar, and soon the fourth son appeared by his side. But the oar could only support one, and the lad, taking in the situa- tion at once, bade his parent farewell in the words, "Wee!, weel, twiner, I math► jlst awa'," and sank. Only readers familiar with the north- ern dialect will fully appreciate the depth of kindly resignation and true feeling which the words denote. The father endured terrible sufferings, but was ultimately picked up. "Greater love bath no man than this."—West- minster Gazette. Patrols on Russian Railroads. The TranssiberIan railroad Is very closely guarded, the management feel- ing personally responsible for the peo- ple they carry on their trains. The road is divided into sections of one verst, or five-eighths of a mile. In a neat little log house, usually to a gar- den, live the guard and his people. The average family is a wife and five tow- headed children. The houses were built by the company and evidently with a view to meeting the demands of increasing families. The guard or a member of his family must patrol his section night and day. He steps to the side of the track as the train ap- proaches and after it has passed steps back into the middle of the track, bolds a small green flagin the air, at night a lantern, and stands like a statue until the train has entered the next section. Several guards do duty In the heavy curves, and frequently they are only a few hundred feet apart. Much of the track patrolling is done by women, who have proved fully as reliable as the men. The women are nearly always barefooted, and as they stand on the track holding the flag aloft, a Siberian breeze toying with their short skirts. they are fine sub- jects for a sculptor after a unique mod- el.—Siberian Letter in Chicago Record A Natural Cress.

The blood normally contains stimu- lants, and that these stimulants exer- cise a favoring influence on function and conduce to and may even be a nec- essary factor in the production of the feeling of well being explains the wide- spread liking in man and beast for stimulating substances. This liking, amounting often to a craving, is the expression of a great physiological principle. When health is perfect, when the blood is well provided with its proper stimulants and not over- charged with depressants, there is no craving for extraneous stimulants, such as alcohol, tea or coffee, but when the blood is defective in the one or sur- charged with the other then is felt the desire for the glass of wine or the cup of tea. In order to obviate this desire the body should be kept at the highest lev- el of health. The more perfect the health the more perfect will be the composition of the blood in respect to both physiological stimulants and dele- terious toxins. A blood properly con- stituted in these and other respects will exercise a gentle stimulant action on the nervous system and induce a condition of mild physiological intoxi- cation, which expresses itself in a feel- ing of well being and happiness—a con- dition that cannot be bettered.—Lan- seeing and Knowing.

"We can't have any hearsay evidence here." "Nob!" exclaimed Farmer Giles. "Then how dost know who thy feyther was, 'cept by hearsay?'

"Oh, that be blowed for a tale!" re plied the farmer. "I ha' got a bile on the back of my neck, and I never seed 'un, but 1 be prepared to swear he's there, dang 'un 1" This second triumph on the part of the witness set in a torrent of hearsay evidence about the footpath, which ob- tained weight with the jury, albeit the judge told them It was not testimony of any value, and the farmer's party won.

The Result of Too Muck Pathos. "One day," says Jean Francois Rats faelli, "Daudet was arguing a point that on the stage it 1s a mistake to in- sist too strongly on any one form of sentiment, whatever it may be. 'Lis- ten,' said he. 'I recall a little incident which may serve to illustrate my meaning: A woman dressed in black one day entered an omnibus in which I happened to be. She was in deep mourning, and her countenance was so worn, so contracted, so furrowed with grief, that her neighbor could not refrain from asking what terrible sor- row it could be that had thus left its marks upon her. "'Whereupon the woman, amid the sympathetic attention -of all the Little world in the omnibus, including the conductor, who did nothing but blow his nose so as to hide his tears, told how she had lost first one child and within a very few days another. Ev- ery one pitied her greatly, but when she proceeded with many tears to tell of the death of a third child her hear- ers were somewhat less moved, and finally, when she launched into a long account of the loss of a fourth—de- voured by a crocodile on the banks of the Nile—every one 1n the omnibus burst out laughing.'

We seated ourselves on cushions, and each took possession of the flat piece of scone which supplied the place of a plate during the meal. those articles not being considered a necessary lux- ury. In the center of the table stood a large bowl full of white soup. from which everybody ate, taking as many spoonfuls as they chose from the oom• mon tureen with the long handled wooden ladles provided for each guest. When this was removed, a large piece of meat boiled to rags took its place and was speedily diminished under the violent treatment it received from us all, each one pulling a lump of meat from the joint with the fingers and eating it oft with her own fiat scone. We then had a curry of vegetables, fol- lowed by the Zagazig pudding, fruit and rice, called so from a native of that village having brought the recipe to the harem. Our meal was concluded by coffee, made in a corner of the room over red- hot charcoal in a copper pot and pour- ed thick into small • glasses fitted in gold filigree cups. The lady who made this rather disagreeable beverage was the same who had removed the center dishes during dinner. She was black as a coal and bore the delightfully de- scriptive name, translated to us, of Lily in the Desert—Good Words. Our Carious Brats.

It is a credit to the town that this important industry has been retained among its business interests. The prison population is now five hundred and twenty-six. Of these only four are in the third or lowest grade. The health of the prisoners is exceptionally good. Only ten are listed for the hospital, and but two of them are -in bad health. There are no idle convicts because of a lack of em- ployment. As a matter of fact more men could be given work if they were in the prison.—Stillwater Gazette.

When its limited express trains were put on some years ago, the Lake Shore Railway company decided to charge extra for the privilege of riding on them, and John Newell, who was pres- ident of the system at that time, gave orders that passes, half rate tickets, etc., should not be honored on the "fli- ers." It was not intended, of course, that the complimentaries issued to high officials of other roads should be void on the fast trains, but through an over- sight a yearly pass was sent to D. W. Caldwell, president of the Nickel Plate, which bore on its face the words: "Not good on Lake Shore limited trains." A few days after Mr. Caldwell's pass had been Issued Mr. Newell received an annual pass on the Nickel Plate with the following indorsement: "Not good on passenger trains. Messrs. Newell and Caldwell remain- ed consistent enemies until the former died and was succeeded by the fatter as president of the Lake Shore.—Ohl- cago Times -Herald. An Absentminded Prof I have a story of a gentleman now engaged in educational work which 1s, I think, somewhat remarkable and 1s also quite true. This gentleman was once professor of mathematics in a fine New England college. He was greatly interested in the work and de- voted himself so wholly to it that a natural tendency which he had to ab- sentmindedness became much accen- tuated. One day when be had guests at din- ner and was helping them to fish from a platter he took a plate bottom side up, put a fish on the bottom of the plate and handed it thus to one of the guests. There was a laugh at once, and his wife said, "My dear, If your absentmindedness has gone so far that you are serving people food on the bot- toms of plates, I shall insist on your resigning your professorship." She did insist on it, and he resigned and went into another and more gen- eral field of teaching. He is still a lit- tle inclined to be forgetful—like some of the rest of us—but he has never since served food on the bottom of a plate.—Boston Transcript. Ula Answer Was Reassuring. Mgr. Callao, the simple hearted and ingenuous Frenchman, happened to be riding in a train in the same compart- ment with a lady who was in constant fear of a smashup. At every sudden stop, every jar, ev- ery sound of the bell or whistle, she cried out: "Oh! Ohl Have we run off the track? Is it a collision? Are we going to be killed?" Calino paid no attention, but remain- ed wrapped in solemn silence. Pres- ently the lady said to him: "And you, sir, aren't you afraid o! railroad accidents?" "Not I, madame," answered Callao reassuringly. "It has been foretold that I am to die on the guillotine(" The nervous woman went into hys- terics and had to be removed from the train at the next station. — Youth's Cempanion. se osorovesese.

Sham Antigaities. Horse Racing on the Stage. In racing scenes the horses do run at full speed. They run, however, not on the fixed stage, but on what may be called treadmills, which keep the horses In front of the house for longer or shorter periods, according as they are rooved quickly or slowly. A picket fence, placed between the audience and the course, not only makes the scene more realistic; it also hides the mechan- ism of the treadmills. This fence has contributed in another way to add to the effect by being moved in opposition to the direction of the horses and so lending to their apparent speed. As to the sounds made by the foot- falls of horses to be heard as though passing outside an interior scene, they are reproduced by the dried hoofs of dead horses or wooden imitations mounted on handles and hammered against surfaces of stone, gravel, sod or whatever the occasion may demand. They are also more elaborately manu- factured by revolving a cylinder with pins protruding from the surface. These pins are arranged, like the spurs on a hand organ roller, to imitate trot- ting, galloping or walking when struck against other substances. If the sound of a carriage is to be added to the trampling of horses. wheels are run on sand.—Cassell's Magazine. Needed In His Business. "I've decided," said the dignified old man, "to let you have that young Brite - ley after all if you are positive that you can't be happy without him." "Oh, father," the beautiful girl cried, "you don't know how happy you have made me! Now I can see the gates of paradise opening. Dear, dear, good, old papa! Let me kiss you for those sweet words! Oh, I can hardly wait to fly to him and tell him the glorious news. He will be so glad! We shall all be so happy now. It seems almost like a lovely dream! I can hardly be- lieve that I am awake! But, tell me, what has made you change your mind? Yesterday when I tried to plead for him you said yon would never permit us to see each other again. Ah, if you had known how those words bruised my heart! What has happened, father, to make you relent?" He kissed her fondly and then, with tears in his eyes, replied: "I sat in a little game of poker where he happened to have a hand last night, and if we don't get that money back in the family some way my business is going to suffer."—Chicago Times - It has been calculated that the loss from illnees averages 20,000,000 weeks of work in the year, or 2% per cent of the work done by the whole population between 15 and 05 years of age.

The Romance Of a Lost Nickel. And Now It Got Into the Possession of It. Rightful Owner. By W. R. Rose. He had come to Cleveland to accept the offer of an extensive manufactur- ing concern. They wanted a first class chemist; they were about to conduct extensive experiments. Rupert Pratt had been highly recommended by east- ern experts, and they engaged him. It was an excellent situation, with a fine salary and the certainty of liberal re- wards if the experiments he was con- ducting turned out winners. He liked ' his position, he liked the city, and yet he was lonely. Rupert Pratt was slow at making friends. He had never overcome a nat- ural shyness. In all his school career he possessed but one strong friend. They had parted the day after they took their degrees. If Tracy Grant had remained with Rupert, under the same roof, sharing his thoughts and aspira- tions, it would have been different. But when Tracy left hint Rupert slip- ped back into his hermit ways. He studied, be experimented, he took long walks and rides. But he made no friends, and his heart, hungered for hu- man companionship. Early In November he bad occasion to visit the east end. One of the offi- cers of the company was convalescing from a long illness and had expressed a desire to hear the bright young chemist describe to him the results of certain important. experiments he had been conducting. Roger boarded the Euclid car at Erie street late in the afternoon and found It pretty well filled. He took a seat about the middle of the car and, drawing a letter from his pocket, pe- rused it with great interest. It was from Tracy Grant, from Hongkong. where Tracy had secured, through the influence of English friends, a position as manager of an exporting house. It was a bright, cheery letter, and it did Rupert good. "Let me know when you finally set- tle down," the writer said. "You tell me you have an excellent offer from the west. Have you accepted it? And where is it? You don't write half enough about yourself, dear boy. I particularly want to know where you are going. because my little sister hat just finished college and is to reside with our aunt, and it is possible that you will become acquainted, a consum- mation devoutly to be wished?' The car stopped, and Roger was aware that a young woman had come aboard. He looked up and found she was standing in the aisle beside him. It was only a hasty glance that he gave her, but be was aware that she pos- sessed a face that was strongly attract- ive and that her eyes were perhaps the tenderest and the brightest he had ever seen. He crumpled up his lettet and, quickly rising, offered her his seat. She accepted it with thanks. A mo- ment later she had deftly crowded up the two women who occuplbd the seat and made room for Rupert. As she pointed to the vacant place he noticed that she looked at him a little curious- ly. It was a ladylike scrutiny, but Rupert found it confusing. A moment later the conductor came up the aisle. Rupert hastily felt in his pocket and passed out a nickel. The young woman handed the conductor a dime. That official promptly returned her the nickel which Rupert had just given him and which he had retained in hie hand. As it fell in her neatly gloved palm Rupert started and turned pale. He recognized the coin. It was his dearly prized pocket piece, the pock- et piece Tracy Grant had given him with the alleged Ilindoo hallmark on one side, which meant, according to Tracy, "I am never lonesome," and that in turn meant, according to Tracy, that the talisman would always attract other coins to the owner's pocket. "Cherish it like the apple of your eye," said Tracy, "until you meet the girl who is to win your love and wear your name, and then have it made into a bangle for her with Brother Tracy's best wishes." And here was this precious token of a David and Jonathan friendship slip- ping into the dainty purse of a strange young woman. What could he do? He must ask her for it. Could be summon up the courage? He tried. He framed the words be would use. He moistened his tongue. Then the car suddenly halted at a cross street, and while his attention was momentarily distracted the young woman arose and, giving him a bright look that was so unmistakably friend- ly that it almost took his breath away, alighted from the car—with the nickel it course. Rnpert softly groaned. This would never do. The car was in motion. He hastily strode back to the platform and leaped lightly to the pavement. When he reached the corner of the street down which the young woman had turned, he saw her ascending the steps of the second house, a handsome stone residence on the west side of the street. Then Rupert's courage wilted again. go turned and walked up the street. aiIMM111.1111111.111111111•W• Be wheeled about and came back. H vouldn't give up that precious nickel.

"I don't believe I'm half glad over it recovery. It brought me such wond ful luck, you know, the day It disap- peared." "Then you do not want It?' she soft ly questioned with a blush. "I am not as anxious about it as I was," replied Rupert. "Then," said the gentle voice, "wh) - not give it to me?" Rupert started. "If I dared." he muttered. "Dared what?" asked the young wo To Rupert's ears it sounded like a defiance. "This is madness!" he tnurtuured. He caught Leslie's hand. "Will you be my wife?" She dropped the veiling lashes over the bright gray eyes. "I-1 accept the uickel." she stam- mered and blushed as site said it and gave him the other hand. A little later she drew him Iowan, the mantel. "Rupert," she said. "you're the vie- tim of a mild conspiracy. I knew you that very first day. I knew the nickel. I told auntie who you woe." "You knew me!" cried the dazed Ru- pert. "I knew all about you through Tra- cy's glowing praises. I am Leslie Grant, Tracy's sister." "What!" cried Rupert. sinking into a chair. "Tracy's sister? Then you knew about the nickel?" "I knew all about it," said Leslie de- murely. "And then. too, we had your photograph. Look here." She reached behind the clock and drew the portrait into sight. Rupert gazed at it with a dazed ex pression. "We'll put a frame of gold ou it." he murmured.. "On your portrait?" r.tied Lesliei "No," said Rupert so: ttly: "ou the nickel."—Cleveland Plaiu Dealer. Something about his appearance must have softened her heart. "Come in," she said, "and 1 will call Miss Leslie. What name, please?" "The name," replied Rupert, "is of no con:a.quence. Tell her a gentleman desires .to see her for a moment or two." And he wondered at his own boldness. The maid disappeared, and ahnost immediately a handsome, elderly lady with a motherly look cattle into the room. - "You wished to see my niece?" she inquired. with a rapid glance that took In the caller's general appearance.

"but she is at the present time engag- ed. I infer that you are a stranger. Can you tell me the nature of your business?" "I have come, madam." stammered Rupert, who was finding this ordeal very trying indeed, "I have come for a nickel." The elderly lady looked astonished. "I would not infer from your appear- ance," she said, "that your circum- stances could be so—so straitened." Rupert wiped his forehead. "You misunderstand me, madam," he said. "I am not asking charity. I—I simply Want to exchange nickels with your niece." "How very extraordinary!" murmur ed the old lady. "It is, indeed," said Rupert, and he wished himself at the other end of Ohio. In fact, he was just about to bolt throngh the hall door when with a little swish of drapery the young wo- man he bad seen on the car came into the roorr. Somehow her appearance called back Rupert's oozing courage. He pauseJ and faced her with a bow. "Will you kindly listen while I ex- plain this intrusion?" he asked. Then he hurriedly added: "I sat next to you on the Ca 7 this afternoon. In handing the condrctor my fare I inadvertently gave him a nickel that I value very highly: It was the gift of a dear friend now far away. This nickel the con- ductor ga•.-e you in change. I saw and recognized it as it dropped into your hand. I ! ave come here to beg of you to permit tue to redeem it." He paus- ed, and theladies looked at each other. "It is claite an extraordinary story." said the young woman, and Rupert heard her voice for the first time. and a charmihg N;o1ce it was. "Just what, I remarked," said the aunt. . "Just what 1 am prepared to admit," said R :pert. "It might, of course, be true," said the young woman. "It might," said the elderly lady doubtf: lly. "It 1 said Rupert. He gathered himsel, up again. "If you will take the tro.,:de to look in your purse, you will fin 1 the proof." "I will 'ook," said the young woman. "It will n cessitate my going up stairs." She tu n,d in the doorway. "Did you say yot.r name was on the coin?" "No," said Rupert; "there is only a cabalistic sign on it." She turned again. "Will you be seated, Mr. —." She paused expectantly. "Pratt- Rupert Pratt," replied the young man. "Thank you." And he sat down. As he did so a lightning glance passed between the ladies. And then the younger lady disappeared. "There was one thing in your favor," said the elderly lady, with a friendly smile. "Lena, our maid, never admits suspicious looking strangers. The fact that she let you in is greatly to your credit." Rupert laughed. "It may be to my credit," he said, "and yet I have never been prepared to admit that there was the slightest sug- gestion of a suspicious character in my general appearance. At the same time I will acknowledge that I have felt during the last quarter of an hour as much like a confidence man as It is possible for an innocent youth to feel." And then the young woman reap- peared. "It is too bad," she said, "but just as I was entering my room my purse drop.' ped to the floor and scattered the coins In every direction. Your nickel must have hidden itself with great care, be- cause I failed to find it."' Rupert hastily arose. "I'm very sorry to have put you to all this annoyance," he said, "and I'm especially sorry that I have been una- ble to prove the honesty of my purpose in intruding upon you. Good after- noon." "One moment," cried the young wo- man. "I haven't given it up yet. I will make a more thorough search, and you must call again." "Come tomorrow evening if you are not engaged," said the elderly lady. Rupert stammered that it would be a pleasure and a moment later was hurrying down the street to catch a car. He felt strangely exhilarated. She certainly was a remarkably pret- ty girl. And somehow the remem- brance of her looks softened the thought of the ordeal through which he had just passed. He called the next evening and.found that the precious nickel was still un- discovered. Miss Leslie had been too busy to make the promised search. And yet Rupert staid on through the evening—and there had never been an evening in all his recollection that could compare with it. When he start- ed to go, the elderly lady suggested that he might like to come up Sunday evening and accompany them to church. And the bashful Rupert ac- cepted the suggestion without. a mur- mur. On the way home from church on one never to be forgotten evening the "The Gentle Dove." I am almost afraid to say that the great amount of .kind feeling. sympa- thy and regard bestowed upon doves in general is wasted upon the unde- serving. To all keepers of dovee and pigeons the puguacious disposition ex- hibited by birds of this class Is well known, although the nieans of indict- ing injury upon each other is soine what limited in consequence of the comparative want of weapons. Not being armed with claws, spurs and a powerful beak like most gailinaceous birds, they not only do battle with a' somewhat weak bill. but strike each other with the wing joint. The heavy blows thus inflicted by the aid of the powerful pectoral muscles would per- fectly astonish any one who received. It, and, although they seldom kill each other, they are prone to quarrel, fight and keep up a very determined dis- agreement.—Bartlett's "Wild Animals In Captivity." Where the Gems Came From. A speaker at a Sunday school teach- ers' meeting touched upon certain things a child should be taught and said the teacher ought to be very sure that the child understood Its lesson, giving the fopowing story as an illus- tration: A teacher asked a class for a defini- tion of the word "jewel." The answer came quickly, "A Jewel Is a gem." The teacher not being sure that they knew what a gem was questioned them fur- ther. What is a gem? Then there was silence. Finally one little- girl piped up, "Gems comes from gem pans." Now, said the speaker, if a child thinks a jewel is a gem and gems come from gem pans the child's Idea of the time "when he cometh to make up his jewels". will be a very peculiar one.— Reading Herald. Experience Versus Arithmetic, Teacher—Johnny may stand up to re- cite. Now, Johnny, suppose I borrow $50 from your father and agree to pay $5 a week, how long will it be before be gets his money? Johnny—Just one week. Teacher—Oh, think again; that's not right! Johnny—Yes, It is. I know my fa- ther. He'd have you up In the courts by that time.—New York World.

One day a naturalist lay motionless al a fallen log in the forest and silent- ly watched an• animal at play in the grass near by. This was a large, brown backed mouse a • meadow mouse, that had come out from his home under the log and when tired of play had sat up to make his toiiet. Using his forepaws as hands, the mouse combed the white fur on his breast and licked himself smooth and sleek.: Satisfied at length with his ap- pearance he began to search for food. He did not have far to go, for a few stalks of wheat grew among the thick weeds near at hand. The mouse was so large that he could probablyhave bent the stalk down and brought the grain within reach. If not, he could certainly have climbed the stalk. He 'did not try either ,of these plans. how- ever, for these were not his ways. Sitting up very sttaight,'he bit through the stalk as high up as he could reach. The weeds were so thick that the straw could not fall its full length, and the freshly cut end settled down upon the ground. with the straw still erect and the grain out of reach. The mouse again bit the straw in two, and again the upper portion settled down. ID this way he bit off five lengths of straw befoie he could bring the grain within reach of his paws. These fore- paws were very skillful little hands, and he deftly husked a grain and ate it, sitting erect and holding it to his mouth as naturally as a boy would bold an apple.—Our Animal Friends. Danger of Being Too Obliging. The other evening, while attending a lecture, Howard Toinkins observed, sit- ting three seats in front, a man whom he recognized as an intimate acquaint- ance. Tomkins requested the person who occupied the seat next to him to lean forward and poke the other Indi- vidual with his stick. The polite stran- ger at once obligingly did so. When the disturbed person turned his head a little to find out the cause of the poke, Tomkins discovered his mis- take—that lie was not the person he had taken him for. Fixing his attention steadfastly on the lecturer and affecting complete un- consciousness of the whole affair, Tom- kins left the obliging man with the stick to settle with the other for dis- turbance. There was, as may be readi- ly imagined, a ludicrous and embar- rassing Nei ne. during the whole of which T,—ilfins evidenced the pro- foundest possible Interest in the lec- ture. At last the tnau with the stick asked In aggrieved and indignant tones: "Didn't you tell me, sir, to poke that man with my stick?" "I certainly did." replied the una- bashed Tomkins. "I wanted to see if you would poke him or net," was the audacious an swer.—Pearson's Weekly. A Song About a Man. "I will sing you a song about a man," said the minstrel. "By the way, did you ever notice that there never was a song written about a man? All songs are about roses and maidens and love and trysting places and sunsets and mothers; never one about the old man. Come to think about It, though, there was one, 'Father. Dear Father, Come Home With Me Now.' In this song the old elan is drunk in the first Yerse."—AtchiSon @lobe. Hoary George's First Friend. In the late seventies Henry George, the single tax reformer. came east from California. Ile was desperately poet and had but few acquaintances: Shortly after his arrival he lectured before the Saturday Ethical club of New York, where 'his brilliant oratory and shabby attire made so striking contrast as to excite the sympathy of those present. After he left the club appointed a committee to aid him in getting up a public lecture. Among others. the com- mittee included Seth Low. who was then engaged in business. He was in consultation at the'ttime. and the com- mittee were in a Inns's% so he told thein to send him a lot of tickets. They for- warded 20 to him the same day and felt happy at having secured $20 for the lecture fund. The next morning came a letter of thanks from Mi. Low praising the lecturer's intellectuality and inclosing a check for $250. The affair was a success. netting about $300, so that President Low may be said to have been the first man to start Mr. George on his eastern career. Twenty years later. in 1897, Mr. Low was the citizens' candidate and Mr. George the labor candidate for mayor of New York. The latter made a vig- orous campaign and in all his speeches advised the citizens, if they could not vote for him-, to vote for his friend 'Seth Low, and on one occasion he said that If it had not been for the latter he would not be there as a candidate. Few understood his full- meaning.— Saturday Erening Post. He Had Enough. There is a New York physician who takes 'an active interest in politics and Is popular with the "boys."' In spite of his jolly disposition be is an ex- tremely thin man, so thin that many a joke Is aimed at him. Here is the latest story they are telling about him: A grocer's boy entered the doctor's office the other day with a basket of fine fruit which some grateful patient had sent to him. The doctor told the boy to place the basket in a cabinet which stood against the wall. At the same instant he stepped out of tha room, and, going into an adjoining one, manipulated a contrivance which caus- ed an articulated skeleton within the cabinet to waggle its bead and limbs In an appalling manner just as the messenger boy opened the door. With a yell of terror the boy fled. When the doctor had enjoyed a hearty laugh, he picked up a fine apple and followed the boy into the street to give it to him. "Come here, my boy!" he shouted. "Here's a fine apple for you." "Not on your life!" replied the af- frighted youngster, taking to his heels again. "You can't fool me with your clothes on."—New York Tribune. Wherein Tiler Differed, Dr. Emily Blackwell, one of the 10- neers of her sex in medicine, heard a young physician deliver a fierce dia- tribe against opening the doors of the profession to women. When he ceas- ed, she asked: "Will you please tell me one reason Why they should not practice medi- cine?" "Certainly, madam. They haven't the mtlscle, the brawn, the physical strength." "I see, sir.

Thought He Was a.Palin. When the Marquis cf Ripon in an amiable way wandered about the Mas- ksehusetts statehouse one afternoon in the spring of 1871. lie sat dowu beside.' a young man who was occupying a cor- ner of one of the leather sofas. The young man had a bright face. with a I quizzical look to his mouth. and now ' and then a twiukle came to his eye as he talked. ' The marquis talked a little condescendingly to the young man at first and In a moment betrayed the fact that he thought his companion was a page. "But 1 em a senator," seal the youug man, sniffing. "What!" said the nobleman in aston- ishment, looking at the stnooth face of the young man. "I am a senator, elected from a dis- trict in the city of Boston." was the reply again. "Were you born in the city, too?" said the marquis. "Where, then?" "In the island next to yours," with a sharp look and a laugh in his eye. The marquis laughed heartily, too, and he made mental note of thename and face of young Patrick A. Collins. When the two met in England in the summer of 1887, Mr. Collins had a warm wel- come from the man who had taken him for a page in the state senate 16 years before. When General Collins was United States consul general at Lou- don, the pequaintance was renewed and the incident of years before laugh- ed over.—Saturday Evening Post. • gee' Scene at a Freueh Fire. "I happened to see the start of a fire in Paris," said . D. Higbee. "It was a rather ugly blase in a three story building. I thought the department would never get there and stood jump- ing up and down and cussing the French fire fighters for their slowness. Presently, however, my anxious gaze was rewarded by the sight of a small platoon of gendarmes clearing the street as if they were preparing for a big procession. Then aloag.,came the fire company and drew up in line in front of the building. " The engine and a hose cart catne lumbering along be- hind, and theft there was a pause, the entire company standing .at attention. In a few minutes the 'real thing,' in the shape of the captain of the com- pany, appeared. He had on white gloves and a tierce uniform. The whole company saluted solemnly and then 'advanced' upon the fire! Not a hand had been raised to make a hose coup- ling or to do anything else until that august metal% with those lovely white gloves, had arrived and been properly saluted." , "But what," said 1, "was happening to the building during the time of this pleasing ceremony?" "Oh, it burned down. But the fire department made a noble showing," concluded Mr. Higbee. "It was a most successful operation, as the doc- tors say, but the patient died."—Buf- falo News. 1Ph5s.„Tratbfal Prince. In his book about Persia, -The Land of the Lion and the Sun,' Dr. Wills says that he was oIR!O conversing with the king's son, and a large circle of courtiers and priests tilled the room. The prince narrated his exploits in hunting the antelope the previous day and gravely stated that while pursuing a pair of ahu when riding a very rest- ive horse hie headstall broke. "What should you have done. doc- tor?" asked the Prince. "I should have tried to stick on jis long as the ground was good and, ex- pecting an accident, have awaited it." "Ah, that was because you were not a prince," he said. "I leaned forward, andtclasping my belt, placed it In the rse's mouth as a bridle, and, thus directing him, pursued my game and killed both antelope." All the circle aprblanded, as of course they were bound to to. Dr. Wills was silent. "You don't mean to say you don't believe that?" said the prince. "Speak out If you don't. I shan't he offended In the least." "Well, your highness.

A patient of one of the leading spe- cialists who treat polypi in the nose and throat is a woman well known for her work in Sunday schools in this city. She has a record as the organizer of a number of anticigarette leagues among the schoolboys. She came to her doctor the other day. He cheered her greatly by telling ber be could cure her quickly and without the use of the knife. "But you must promise to follow my directions." said the doctor, with the suspicion of a twinkle in his eye. "Oh, I promise," said the lady. "Without qualifieation?" asked the physician. "Absolutely without qualification," answered the lady. "Well, then, you must smoke ciga- rettes!" The lady gasped. Visions of what might happen if she were seen with a cigarette between her teeth by any of her pupils floated before her. and she almost fainted. But the doctor was inexorable. The lady followed his di- rections, mitt In a week the foreign growth in her nose had disappeared. But that doesn't mean that the lady is now a confirmed cigarette smoker.— United States Tobacco Journal. On the Rialto.

Coroners' inquests are well known :among the Chinese. One of the chief Idifferences between their system and lours is that the Chinese doctors never ' dissect. In fact, Chinamen have a per- fect horror of dissection. There are few things more absurd than the code of rules laid down for i the Chinese coroner. In the first place, he is bidden to make sure that he has : a dead body before he begins his in- quest. That, however. is less ridicu- lous than it sounds, for the heathen Chinee is tricky and may demand an Inquest on a sham deceased with a , view of extorting mon,ey from some i person who may be denounced as hav- ing caused the death. The preposterous part of the code comes in with regard to the alleged signs which show the cause of' death. If the deceased is supposed to have been poisoned, rice is put into his mouth and then taken out and given to a chicken. Its effect on the fowl decides the question. Most of the other meth- ods adopted are even more absurd and fanciful, and, as a result, inquests in China do very little to prevent crime.— Chicago News. He Won the Bet. A showman was making great noise at the front of the exhibition of "wonders" he bad on show. A man standing in the crowd, with a little dog beside him, cried out: "I'll bet you a quid you can't let me see a lion." "Done!" said the showman eagerly. "Put down your money." The man placed a sovereign in the hand of a bystander. and the showman did the same.. "Now walk this way," said the show- man, "and I'll soon convince you. There!" said he triumphantly. "Look in that corner at the beautiful Numidian lion." "I don't see any," responded the other. "What's the matter with you?" ask- ed the showman.

The horse that sleeps in a standing position rests one leg at a time, depending on the other three to sustain the weight of his body. The habit is a very dangerous one. On- ly a short time since a fine horse In the stables of a big manufacturing concern went to sleep while standing in his stall and fell heavily to the floor, break- ing one of his legs. A great many horses are permanently injured as a re- sult of accidents of this nature, and there is no way of curing them of the habit. The Candy of Bird's Nest.

THIRTEEN O'CLOCK 0 NEW WAY IN WHICH, FRANCE WILL HERE_1t'rER REGAN t THE AFTERNOON. . A new method of counting time has gone into effect in all departments of the government of i'rauce, and the hours are now officially reckoned in that country from 1 to 24. The old_ system of dividing days into two periods of 12 hours each has been abolished, and hereafter ail govern- ment documents will be date, accord- ing to the new order of things. The change was not made through a legislative enactment. but was decreed by the bureau of longitudes after as- suring itself of the support of the min- istry. It received the sanction of the government because it is believed it will make the reckoning of time more simple and will save many mistakes to the public that arose out of the dou- ble period system. Under the old method it was neces- sary to qualify an hour with ante- meridian or post meridian, as the case might be, to insure accuracy. -The fail- ure to do this opened a way for many mistakes that in commercial affairs frequently proved very costly. Under the new'system it is only necessary in order to make a definite idea of time TWENTY—FOUR HOUR DIAL. to give,the day and hour. Antemeridian and post meridian are not necessary factors in reckoning time because there is no longer a division of the day according to that standard. Under the new system a day begins at midnight. What is 1 o'clock in the afternoon under the old method is 13 o'clock under the new. France is probably the first govern- ment to adopt this system of counting time, but 1t has been in vogue on the railroads of Canada for several years. The traveling public of the latter coun- t- IAA-..f�t3 method both convenient and advan- tageous. There has been some talk among railroad men of introducing the system in this country, but the discus- sion has not acquired sufficient impor- tance to bring about any definite ex- pression of opinion. Effect of Altitude. Perhaps in no state in the Union has climate so much to do with the charac- ter of the people as in Colorado, is the contention of a writer In Ainslee's. He says in part: "Go into Colorado, climb the long ascent from the level of the Missouri, and then as you emerge from the train into the handsomely improv- ed streets and among the unsurpassed brick and stone residences of Denver feel your head swim with the lofty al- titude and the rarefied air; then realize that the miners went on a mile farther into the air, that they are working and taking out millions of dollars of gold at Cripple Creek, at Leadville and a doz- en other places. It will make you pause to think what exaltation there is in dwelling there always, what staying powers the pioneers must have had. Wait a day or so, until the vertigo has passed away, and the exhilaration comes to you that always comes when you have climbed a mountain and stood upon its top and gazed out over a wide world that expands below you. Then you will begin to feel that elec- tric, that nervous surcharge, that in- domitable, undiscourageable, almost towering spirit of elevation and still further elevation that makes Colorado almost the liveliest, the most irre- pressible, the most determined element in the American body, social and po- litical." Safeguards Against Ptomaines. Although It has been proved that the greater number - of the products of putrefaction known as ptomaines are not poisonous, science has not bieen able to distinguis:t preventively be- tween the deadly and the harmless. According to a writer in the Baltimore American, it is rarely, even in cases of death from ptomaines poisoning, that the elusive ptomaine has been dis- covered in succeeding examinations. Chemical agents are discovered known to indicate the presence of ptomaines, but the skilled chemist bas found at the end of long and careful analysis that somehow the putrefactive alka- loid has decomposed, evaporated or been destroyed by a reagent he used. The fact that the poison is of putre- factive origin gives weight to the pre- caution that food to be harmless must he absolutely fresh and prepared with the greatest care, and in this consist all the safeguards possible against ptomaines.

"To roast out rheumatism is the on- ly way to cure it," says Professor Sprague, a well known Chicago sci- entist who has recently perfected a de- vice which promises to revolutionize the treatment of rheumatism, gout and similar diseases. It has now been in successful operation long enough to prove its wonderful merits and con• sista simply in drawing all the rheu- matism from the system by the appli- cation of intense heat. Air at a temperature of 400 degrees is nearly twice as hot as boiling wa- ter. One drop of water diffused over the human body at that temperature would so scald the skin that the victim would die. Some metals melt at 380 degrees, and yet by menus of Profess- or Sprague's discovery patients have been subjected to 400 degrees and even more. This was not only safely main- tained, but wrought wonderfully bene- ficial results. "The whole secret," says Professor Sprague, "consists in the use of per- fectly dry air. In order to accomplish anything it is necessary to raise the patient's temperature from 1 to 5 de- grees F. This was impossible under the old Turkish bath conditions be- cause the air used was moist. "My original investigation in this line started in a peculiar way. My wife was a victim of rheumatism, being scarcely able to move. She found her- self somewhat benefited by Turkish baths, but was unable to continue them owing to the terrible nausea which breathing the foul, fetid air al- ways produced. Without any idea of using it generally I began to experi- ment in order to strike a method by which she could get the advantages of the treatment under better sanitary conditions and without having to in- hale the polluted air. "The result was the invention of the present machine, in which the body alone is within the apparatus, while the patient breathes the pure and nat- ural air of the room. My wife was im- mediately benefited and by conscien- tiously continuing the treatment was finally permanently cured. Since then it has been tried in the Cook County hospital on probably 400 patients in all stages of suffering with good effect." Piping Water. Engineering experts are greatly in- terested in the projected pipe line de- livery of 5,000,000 gallons of water a day at a place in the interior of Aus- tralia, some 330 miles from the reser- voir in the mountains, where it is im- pounded. Most of the details of this it -appears J ve Siff 1 hep Rnhi i.,bhi�., but itappears that to force the water through this line for such a distance not only must its friction be overcome, but it has to be actually lifted some 1,300 feet, and yet, notwithstanding this 'and other, perhaps greater, diffi- culties, such a line is to be built. The peculiar fact is that the desert through which the pipe line is to run is so im- pregnated with salts corrosive to iron that it is impracticable to bury the pipes in the soil in the usual manner, thus necessitating their being laid on the surface. But this construction in- troduces another serious factor—name- ly, the line's expansion due to varia- tions of temperature. When a pipe line is buried, the variations of tempera- ture are not large enough to be appre- ciable, but when exposed to the wide ranges of atmospheric temperature, which even in the hot Australian cli- mate may be 75 degrees, expansion and contraction effects are introduced pro- ducing an expansion of five-eighths of an inch in every hundred feet. This is to be provided for by a special expan- sion joint, formed by a double stuffing box with rubber rings, placed at inter- vals of 120 feet. Cork Floors. Cork, as every one knows, is one of the best nonconductors of heat or sounds, says The Scientific American. That it has not been more widely used in building is due chiefly to the difficul- ty of obtaining it in an unadulterated form. A product called cork tiling has recently been placed upon the market wliich is made of what is known to the trade as "virgin cork," ground, com- pressed and otherwise treated by a pat- ented process and which is free from the cement and glue usually employed to hold the particles together. We are informed that tiles made of this pure, compressed cork form an admirable -flooring, which, besides being noise- less, waterproof, warm and germproof, is capable of withstanding hard usage. By varying the degree of compression and modifying the manufacturing proc- esy slightly sheets of cork different in color and density are obtained which, when sawed and finished in the form of panels, can be used for wainscoting alone or in connection with cork tile floors. American Chicory. The division of botany of the United States department of agriculture is at work to reduce the importation into the United States of some of the little things which have been costing the Americans $8,000,000 annually. West- ern states are now growing chicory. In 1896 16,817,388 pounds were import- ed, but in 1898 only 315,707 pounds of raw chicory were imported. The divi- sion in botany is also making tests to protect farmers and merchants against fraudulently imported seeds and tests the importations of the department be- fore distribution.—Chicago News.

The Kaffir makes an interesting study. You cannot understand him all at once. It requires time, and a good deal of it. A new arrival thinks the Kant, is a born prevaricator of the truth said has his reasons for so think- ing. Suppose you catch a "boy" commit- ting a misdemeanor. Ask !aim what he has been doing, and he will look up in your face, a picture of innocence, and reply, "Ikons, baas"—a plump de- nial. Tell him you saw him do it, threaten him with punishment; he will still persist in maintaining his inno- cence. He will still plead ignorance of the misdeed and mutter In astonish- ment or fear, "Ikons, baas." In fact, he knows nothing whatever about it. I! the offense be one that cannot be overlooked, you proceed to administer reproof—with the foot, if you are not particular and wish to be impressive. What does he do? If he is a raw "boy" and not used to it, he runs off with a terrified look on his face; if he is used to it, he retires precipitately with a satisfied smile, not necessarily because he has got the thrashing, but because he no longer bas It to look for ward to.

During my residence in Heidelberg a lamentable and terrible affair took place that threw a profound gloom over the university and the entire town. Two German students, having quarreled, decided the earth was not large enough for both of then to live in and resorted to the diabolical prac- tice called the "American duel." In a darkened room the two young ; men drew lots, having sworn that he who drew the black ball would commit suicide. The unhappy loser went to his room and discharged a bullet into his breast, but missed his heart and lingered for several days on his death- 1 bed. His parents were summoned by telegraph and besought him on their knees to disclose the name of bis an tagonist, but be steadfastly refused and died with the secret in his breast. The students not only excused his conduct, but praised his courage, and when his remains were taken to the railway station to be transported to a distant city they accompanied the fu- neral cortege with torches and music. The students claimed he was not a sui- cide, for he was killed in an honorable duel, and they maintained that his op- ponent was not accessory to his death because he shot himself. 1 had many arguments with them and never could convince them of their extraordinary tergiversation.—Science.

It la all right, says a writer in The Sanitary Record, for the man who la- bors all day in the open air to eat freely, but the man of sedentary hab- its, the brain worker, must adapt his way of living to his needs. Ile must be well; nourished, for the brain is in- capable of good work unless well sup- plied with pure food, but such a man cannot possibly furnish vital force to digest three large meals daily. If be tries it, nature will protest at every step. The chemical changes of diges- tion will be imperfectly performed. The stomach will neither secrete freely nor churn the food with cheerful alac- rity; the pyloric orifice contracts and allows such chyme to pass with grudg- ing reluctance; the intestinal lacteals are ashamed to absorb such miserable pabulum. which chokes, irritates and congests them, so the large meal re- mains in the digestive organs to fer- ment and putrefy. But the system can furnish enough vital force to convert a small meal Into pabulum of high stand- ard, which will be absorbed without difficulty. Always leave the table a little hungry. Water Care. Said a physician not long ago, one who has grown old and wise In his profession, "I'm coming to believe that if I had to choose in my practice the use of drugs and the use of water I'd give up the drugs." It is a truth that is generally accepted that the efficien- cy of the various mineral waters de- pends far less on the quality of the water than on the quantity consumed, and for most of us water is free as air, so there need be no hindrance to a thorough test of its virtues. It may be true, as has been charged against us, that we drink too much, but tar more often is It true that we drink too little. We fail to recognize how much water our body demands, and our food 1s bread, meat and pastry instead of the fruits and vegetables that would sup- ply our needs. Sun Baths. Sun baths are almost as essential u water baths, quite as much so for many invalids and the weak, sallow, spiritless class that are neither well nor ill.. Take the clothing oft and -sit or lie in a room where the sunshine will come on you. Change your posi- tion so as to have its effect on all por- tions of your body. Never mind the tanning or the browning or even the reddening, but toughen yourself to its full effect. You will need less clothing after awhile, catch cold less easily and have a more vigorous circulation, bet- ter spirits and better health.—Ex- change. Reviving Appresintion.

Experiments Which Throw Doubt Upon a Time Honored caissons. The whole therapeutic value of gar- gling, says a medical authority, de- pends on whether the fluid used reach- es the mucous membrane of the phar- ynx and tonsils or not. The scientists who have been testing the matter da Clare that a liquid cannot reach the tonsils or back of the throat because the air expelled by the lungs in the effort of gargling, as well as the shape assumed by the victim, throws the liquid away from the very parts it is supposed to reach. The experiments which have demon- strated the Inutility of gargling were made by Dr. Sanger of Munich and have since been confirmed by many other investigators. The method of conducting the experiment was sim- ple. The tonsils of a patient were painted with methylene blue, a very soluble dye, which gives an intense color. The patient was then given a glass of plain distilled water and was instructed to gargle with it. When the water which the patient ejected from his mouth was examined, it was found to be absolutely colorless. A glance at the patient's tonsils show- ed that they were as blue as ever. Then another and more exact experi- ment was decided upon. When starch Is touched by iodine, it immediately turns a bright blue. A portion of the tongue, velum and ton- sils of the patient were therefore dust- ed over with wheat flour, which is rich in starch, and he was then given a weak solution of Iodine to gargle. This procedure meant that if any of the liquid which the patient was using as a gargle touched the wheat flour It would immediately color it blue. When the patient had used all the gargle, hie month was examined. It was found that the velum and tongue bore the blue reaction of the Iodine, showing that the flour had been reached by the liquid. but on the tonsils the flour had neither been colored nor washed away. Fooled the Crowd. Some people will go to great trouble and expense to perpetrate a joke. The other day two well known society men hired a closed carriage and decorated It with bows of white ribbon and flow- ers and other paraphernalia belonging to a well appointed wedding. On each side was hung a placard an- nouncing that the occupants were just married. It attracted great attention, and when It pulled up in front of the Gait House a few days ago a large crowd had con- gregated to see the happy bride and groom alight. The driver slowly got down from his seat beside the door. He opened it deliberately, and when he swung the door open the curious crowd surged forward. There was no bride and no groom inside, but instead a big placard bearing in great black let- ters the single word. "Rubber." For a little while the driver had the joke to himself. but soon the crowd realized the neat swindle, and all en- joyed the episode hugely.—Louisville Dispatch. Was She Right? A certain woman. says the Wichi- ta Eagle, desired the arrest of the saloon keeper who had been selling whisky to her drunken husband. Hav- ing conducted the officer to the saloon, she was told by him to pick out the proprietor. Seven men, all looking alike and dressed alike, were stand- ing motionless around a whisky barrel, and she could not tell which was the one, but she stepped to the barrel and turned the spigot, and the liquor began to pour out on the floor. One of the men sprang out of the circle and turned the spigot off. "Arrest that man!" she said. But was she right? Was it more likely to be the proprietor who would thus plead guilty and go to jail or some innocent man with an unquenchable thirst who was horrified at seeing the awful waste? Not a Hard Question.

Electro magnets are becoming more and more common for lifting purposes, says the Washington Star, and are made to do the work formerly accom- plished by means of a chain and hook. Where hot iron plates have to be han- dled the serviceability of the electro magnet method 1s most pronounced. In a large English foundry a number of the electro magnets capable of car- rying a load of 4,000 pounds are used. These magnets consume 5% amperes of current at a pressure of 110 volts. At the Woolwich arsenal the greater part of the moving of large projectiles Is done by electro magnets. Many large works in this country use them for lifting heavy weights, transporting them rapidly from one point to an- other by electric motors. Magnets of from one to five horsepower are the usual sizes used. NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUS.

Some few years back a colonel com- manding some marines was much exer- cised in his mind as to bow to deal with two of his men who were contin- ually fighting. Threats, pack drill and even cells were tried, but were of no avail. No sooner were they free than they flew at one another and were at it again with worse results than before. At last be hit on a happy expedient. The next time the men were brought before him he set them to clean all the windows in the barracks, one inside, the other out, and ueither to go to the next window till the other had finish- ed.

A very good programme was rendered, in feet, one of the most interesting I ever attended. It consisted of dialogues, recitations, solos, and choruses. The dialogue, Thirty Thousand Dollars, by Blanche King- ston, Anna King. Byron Kingston, and Thomas King, the solos, Break the News to Mother, by Frank Ryau, and Father, Dear Father, by Ethel Kingston, the dialogue, Taking the Census, by Vincent Doyle and Blanche Kingston, and Breakfast, by John King, Ethel Kingston, and Lillie King, reflected much credit up- on the participants. The recitations were good, and I could name others if space permitted. But we mustn't forget to mention Isaac's Address, The Negro, by Michael Devaney. The net proceeds were satisfactory and went towards the school library. A GUEST. The Week's in.pments SATURDA 1 Miller Bros.. two cars oats west. Malting Company, two cars oats west. R. C.

Its charm divine Is like the murmur of a sounding shell Heard in the pauses of the ocean's swell, In beauty's oft recurring parallel. Its feeling line, Artless of rule, yet more than rules of art Unconscious pierces; probes, with inward smart, The lover's, breast, the patriot's swelling heart. Its music tine Is such that it the singer break his song And stop the very spheres seem all a -wrong; We bid him take his lute and sweet and strong Renew his strain.

I asked M Bourrimel, my "concierge," as I ca in the other evening. Her daught Leona, you must know, had present herself for examination at the Conser atoire that day, and I always make point of appearing interested in "concierge's" family affairs. 1 find pays to do so. "Ah, M. Richard, you come at ju the right moment. I was longing f somebody to talk to about it. Sit dow there in my armchair by the late string, and I will tell you the who story. "Well, as you know, Leona ha learned the role of Blanche in 'Le R s'Amuse.' "My husband—you know his politic opinions—chose the piece. He thong It would be a good thing to show th people the goings on of the kings in t old days before we had this blessed r public. Besides, it is by Victor Hug you know, and it seems to be fairs well written. Leona's teacher—th fat little M. Guillemot with the re cheeks, you know, and a very nice ma he is, too, I must say, and always ver polite to me—well, the teacher made n objection, and so Leona studied up th part of Blanche. 'She seems to have been create expressly for the role,' M. Guillemo often said to me. 'She is Blanche be self.' "She selected for the examination th scene in the second act in whic Blanche confesses to Dame Berard her love for the king. We went throng It several times at home after supper. "The prince, ever kind and attentive held the book, and I took the part o Dame Berarde, which was quite suite to my years. There's a ring at the bel M. Richard. Please pull the cord Thanks. Where was I? Oh, yes; I re member. "Leona knew her lines so well tha she could have spoken them backward "The prince had ordered her costum and had even been good enough to g with her when she went to try it on. "'You need not leave your post Mme. Bourrimel,' he said. 'I will at tend to everything.' • but that costume was superb Imagine a foulard with honeysuckle and hummingbirds on a white ground the skirt trimmed with three bands o purple velvet, square cut bodice, poin lace sleeves—bet I forget. You are man, and you can't imagine it. "Rut when I saw that dress my ma ternal heart leaped for joy, and I threw my arms around the prince's neck and exclaimed, 'With such a dress as th Leona cannot help making a success and it will be all owing to your gener oslty,' "Indeed, M. Richard, I was deeply moved, I assure you, and the prince himself was much affected. I even thought I saw tears behind his eye- glasses. Well, the great day came at last, and we all set out for the Conserv- atoire, accompanied by our' neighbor, Mme. Frimard, and her daughter, who has tried the examination in comedy for the last six years and failed every time. "But, M. Richard, the bell has rung three times. Please open." "I beg pardon, Mme. Bourrimel, I am a green 'concierge,' remember." "Where was I? Oh, to be sure, at the Conservatoire. Leona went to the stage door with Mlle. Frimard, who was to take the part of Dame Berarde, and Mme. Frimard and I got seats together in the little red theater. They call it 'Etruscan,' I believe, but it Is quite pretty for all that. "Of course the prince, being connect- ed with the Russian embassy, could not be with us. He sat In a proscenium box, right behind the president's wife. Ah, there's a lady who knows how to dress! I couldn't keep my eyes off the bright yellow capote perched on top of her shfny black hair. "Of course Mme. Frimard, whose daughter had been going through the mill so long, knew all the critics and the members of the jury, and she point- ed them out to me while we were wait- ing for Leona to appear. "That fat man, sound asleep, was Maurice Tourcey. He always slept at these exhibitions. "The dark, shabby man was Victor Feasard, who had left politics for lit- erature at the age of 50 and now slash- ed right and left to make people think he knew all about It, just as people hiss bullfights to pretend they are Spaniards. "The gentleman with the long hair and the big mustache was La Puiser- aye, who was kindness itself, and the man who looked like a general was Auguste Destu, an honest man and a Scholar. "Then, in the jury box, there was Dumas, the smiling Jules Claretle, the enviable Halevy. The shriveled looking person was Camille Doucet. "The old man in the middle, with a head like a grand priest's, was the president, Ambrolse Thomas, and the merry, mocking silhouette in the last row was Cadet, of the Comedfe Fran.. caise. It was great fun for me. Mme. Frimard knew them all very well, she had been to see them so often on her daughter's account.

When Leon as Blanche, confessed her love for th king, she looked straight at Prine Taps Toff. "Alt, M. Richard, if you had seen an heard her!

"My daughter went on with her lines which described the noble appearanc of the king, his graceful bearing in th saddle and so forth, and still she kep her eyes fixed on the prince. She sure ly could do no less after what be ha done for her—the gown, the cape, tb jewels and all the rest. "Of course the lines referred to Kin Francis I, but the prince no doubt sa in them a delicate allusion to himself and he smiled in a way that shows he was much gratified.

A Difference of Opinion. The fat man is sure -he has paid his fare to the conductor. He is positive on this point, because he had only a nickel, and it has passed from bis pos- session. The conductor is also positive, with no actual proof therefor, that the fat man bas not contributed his mite to swell the coffers of the corporation. He demands the fare.• The fat man for obvious reasons re- fuses. He announces in a bleat of rage that he'll see the conductor and tbe corpora- tion elsewhere before be yields. The other passengers are wild with Joy. They have no particular love for the corporation, they do not know the fat man, and if they met the conductor again they would not look at hint. Passengers seldom do. They are loyal Americans. Behind the fat man's underlying principle there is knowledge of a six mile walk, an angry wife, a cold sup- per and a neglected euchre party. He announces again that he will see the conductor elsewhere. He does. He sees the conductor in the street, The fat man is with him. The fat man's fat is in the gutter, his coat is torn and myriad packages are strewn over the field of battle.

"An amusing thing that we frequent- ly see at the White House," said one of the attaches there. "is the mailing of letters in the White House letter box by visitors to the city. All visitors to Washington go to the executive mansion, and many of them notice the letter box in the vestibule just before entering the east room. Some of them decide to mail letters there, believing that these letters will contain the stamp of the White House. Of course it would be a great thing for a distant relative to receive a letter postmarked at the White House. "The other day an intelligent looking woman, accompanied by several grown daughters, asked me to lend her a pen- cil. I heard her say, 'Won't It be love- ly to mail thein a letter from here and let them see that we've been to the president's home?' She proceeded to write for some time, secured an envel- ope, addressed it and then proudly dropped the epistle in our letter box. She went off with a radiant face. She was sure that all her neighbors and friends for miles around would hear of that letter mailed from the White House, and she would cold be besieged with inquiries on her return. She'll learn her mistake. The letter box here does not differ in any way from those on the streets."—Washington Star. Made it a Burlesque. Franklin Pyles recalls some amusing first night experiences in his article on "The Theater and its People" in The Ladies' Home Journal. One he relates is of Laura Don, now dead: "She had the role of an Egyptian princess in 'Fresh, the American,' it was intend- ed that she should be seriously and sentimentally impressive, while the late John T. Raymond, the star of the company, should be contrastingly com- ical as the lover. But the audience would not have it so. Nor was it any- thing in Miss Dou's appearance, for she was beautiful. nor in her acting, for it was clever, that made the people laugh. It came of a miscalculation by the author. The quick witted woman, seeing that she could not control the audience, resolved to humor it. By an exaggeration of speech and manner she turned the part into burlesque, and It was always after acted in that way." Mr. Pyles also tells that "in 'Cleopa- tra,' as produced by the late Fanny Davenport, a general should have giv- en to his queen an impetuous account of a battle which he had won. But he stood wordless, silent. stuck fast. 'You have come to tell me.' Miss Davenport said and then went on with the narra- tive which he should have spoken." The Iceland Dinner. In Iceland the native's dinner usual- ly consists of dried fish and butter. The fish is ling or cod, which, when caught, is split open and then hung on the lines by the seashore to dry in the cold winds and bot sun. When thus preserved, they will keep for years, being as hard as the nether millstone. When wanted for dinner, the fish is well hammered by a stone mallet and then cut up into strips. In this state it Is eaten, but it is said that it needs an Icelander's teeth to get through the meal. The butter is not spread on the fish, but the two are taken alternately, first a mouthful of fish, then a mouthful of butter. It may easily be supposed that the Ice- lander is thankful to have his jaws well greased after every mouthful of the tough morsel. Spoiled His Dose, A town that bas played its part In history for more than 100 years ought to be forgiven for being a little sleepy by this time, although its new neigh- bors may be inclined to poke fun at it. It is told that a Bladensburg mer- chant was dozing in his store one day when a little girl came in with a pitcher and asked for a quart of molasses. The .merchant yawned, stretched himself, opened his eyes and then said in an in- jured tone: "Well, ain't there nobody what sells molasses in Bladensburg but me?" Bolivia's inhospitable Climate. Agriculture makes slow progress in Bolivia. In the lands of the upper pla- teau surrounding g La Paz and Oruro, barley is grown and potatoes sown to a considerable extent, but the yield Is poor on account of the very inhospita- ble nature of the climate and the con- stant frosts which occur at night dur- ing the summer season. The grain pro- duced is utilized for food purposes and the straw for fodder. — Indianapolis News. r THE HASTINGS GAZETTE. He Was Telling Him. During one of the earliest visits of the royal family to Balmoral Prince Albert, dressed in a simple manner, was cross- ing one of the Scottish lakes in a steamer and was curious to note every- thing relating to the management of the vessel and, among many other things, the cooking. Approaching the galley, where a brawny highlander was attending to the culinary matters, he was attracted by the savory odors Lot a pot of "hodgepodge," which the 1 bigbt:z•• h r was preparing. "A.. is that?" asked the prince, who not known to the cook. "Iicyt..t (todgo, sir," was the reply. "flow is it made?" was the next question. "Why, there's mutton intil't and tur- nips intil't and carrots intil't and"— "Yes, yes," said the prince; "but what is intil't?" The man looked at him, and. seeing that the prince was serious, be replied: "There's mutton intil't and turnips intil't and"— "Yes, certainly, 1 know," urged the inquirer, "but what is intii't—Intil't?' "Man," yelledthe highlander. bran. dishing his big ladle, "am 1 no telltn ye what's intil't? There's mutton intil't and"— Here the interview was brought to a close by one of the prince's suit, who fortunately was passing, explaining to his royal highness that "intil't" simply meant "into It" and nothing more.—Ex- change. A Theatrical Puzzle. "There is something absolutely baf. fling to understand," said a theatrical manager, "about the perfect regularity of the sizes of audiences for any given play. You know 1 manage two thea- ters here in New York. One of them holds about 2,000 people and the other holds about 1,000 people. "Now, when we have a play that is what we call a great success at the snail theater—such a success that we have to turn people away every night— it is almost Invariable that the number turned away is not far from 30 each night -that is to say, 1,000 people come and get in and 30 come and cannot get in. And when we have a similar sue - cess at the large theater the average number of people turned away Is just the same—about 84—that is, 2,000 peo- ple come and get in and 30 come and cannot get In. "Now, to all appearances the one play has made just as big a hit as the other, so why 1s it that just about 1,030 people want to see the one every night and just about 2.000 people want to see the other every night? Why do the 2,030 never come to the small theater? They never do. Sueb a thing was nev- er heard of. It's a little section in the law of averages that 1 never could un- derstand."—New York Tribune, The First' War Cerrespoadeat. As far as can be gathered, the first recognized war correspondent to a newspaper was a man. whose name. unhappily, hu sunk Into oblivion, at the siege of Antwerp in 1831. Much earlier in the century, though. there was in an informal and unrecognized manner a witness named Peter Finner- ty—one can make a shrewd guess at his nationality—"who on his return from the Walcheren expedition told the British public a good deal more about that unfortunate naval and mili- tary blunder than the British govern- ment of the day cared to have publish- ed." There was, too, some really ad- mirable pen and ink work about Cariist war fa the London papers, no ably by Frederick Hardman and C. L. Gruinesen.

Industry and Success. "There's nothin like farmin on a hill- side," said the man with the faded hair during a pause in the conversation, "if you pick out a good location." "Do you mean to say," they asked him, "that yon ever worked on a hill- side farm or anywhere else?" "Who said anything about workinr' he rejoined. "I said hillside farmin was all right if you picked out a good location. I had a location right down below a 40 acre farm where a feller put in one whole summer raisin melons an pumpkins. When they got ripe, they broke off f'm the vine an rolled down on to my land. It was a good deal of bother to gather 'em up, but I do: :s it. Made a pretty good thing out of it too."

Countersign, "War with raw recruits in the begin- ning is apt to lead to many amusing experiences," said the old army officer who saw service in Cuba. "Now, you couldn't ask for better soldiers than we had in Cuba, but a large number of them were new to the business and had much to learn, and, much to their cred- it, it can be said that they soon learned it "I had occasion to leave our lines one night soon after we arrived in' Cuba, and upon my return it suddenly struck me that I had forgotten the counter- sign. I puzzled over it for some time, but for the life of me I couldn't recall the word that had been given out. While I was thinking it over I heard the. command: " `Halt! Who comes there?' "'Friend,' I answered, thinking that the countersign would come to me in a moment. 'Advance, friend, and give the coun- tersign,' said the sentry. "As the countersign had slipped from me completely I walked up to him and said sharply: "'Call the corporal of the guard!' "'Gosh,' answered the sentry, 'I knew it was something like that, but I'm derned if I hadn't forgotten it! Mosey on!' "I 'mosied,' but I took the trouble to look up the corporal of the guard and have him give the sentry further 10- structions regarding the duties of a sentry."—Detroit Free Press. Chinese Leather. The process by which the Chinese leather acquires its peculiar character- istics is described as follows: The skins are put into tubs contain- ing water, saltpeter and salt and after 30 days are taken out, the hair is shav- ed off and the skins well washed in spring tater. Each hide is then cut up into three pieces and well steamed, which is done by passing them several times backward and forward over a steaming oven. Further, each piece is stretched out separately over a fiat board and secured with nails, so as to dry gradually and thoroughly in the sun. The smoke of the oven makes the leather black, and if it is desired to have it of a yellow appearance it is rubbed over with water in which the fruit of the so called wongchee tree has been soaked. Of the offal glue is made by heating it in pans for 12 hours over a slow fire, and the glue so obtained is poured into rough earthen vessels, where it re- mains three days in order to coagulate. Thea solid d meas is cut into- pieces with sharp knives and carefully laid upon gratinglike trays to dry, the time taken In drying varying from 5 days, with a northwest wind, to 30 or 40 days with a southwest.—Boston Transcript. The Land of the Guitar. In Portugal men play upon the gui- tar as naturally as Yankees whistle. The peasants are universally given to the instrument, chiefly as an accom- paniment to the voice. In towns and villages the artisans are often exp':rt guitar players and walk In groups to and from their work, enlivening the journey with music and song. The carpenter who comes to your house to execute a small job brings his guitar with his tools, and the blacksmith is a far better performer on the guitar than the anvit When the Portuguese day laborer or workman bas finished his long day's toil, he does not hie him to a wineshop to squander the few cents he has earn- ed; he does not even lean agr,tist a post and smoke or whittle a stick while swapping yarns with his fellows. If he did not bring his guitar with hien, he goes straight home and gets it, rests and comforts himself with the music while supper is being prepared.

One of the rules of the aris- tocratic Parisian concierge is that while one may ride up in the elevator one must not ride down. It was Mr. Dougherty who broke down this rule in a house In the Rue de Maturin. He started down, and the concierge stopped the elevator. "It is forbidden." "By whom?" "The proprietor forbids& it," said the concierge. Mr. Dougherty drew himself up and said, "Tell your proprietor that I for- bid him to forbid me anything!" and rode on down.

The average life of first class leather belting, running indoors and under or- dinary conditions, Is ten years. Belts subjected to acid fumes would last a much shorter time than that, and, on the other hand, in especially favoring circumstances a belt might last much longer. There was taken down in New York not long ago a leather belt that had been running 24 years. This, how- ever, was something unusual. As is the case with pretty much ev- erything that is made and sold, leather belting may be bought secondhand, the secondhand belts coming into the mar- ket naturally enough through the re- fitting of factories, through the substi- tution of belts of one width for those of another, and so on. Secondhand belts that have not been much used sell for not very much less than new belts. Their price decreases, of course, according to the wear to which they have been subjected. When a leather belt ceases to be useful as a belt, it is ;likely to be sold to be cut up into boot heels, what there is left of it after that going to the scrap heap.—New York We do not like to be told of our Sun' faults.

A LUNATIC'S IMITATION. It Lacked Finish and Got Himself and a 'rhlef Into Tro:_b1e. A Paris correspondent tells; an inter- est lig story of !testy a shop thief was captured recently at the 'Icon Marche in circumstances that in all probability are unique. One of the private detect- ives in the pay of the establishment noticed a man who, with the most barefaced effrontery, was appropriat- ing articles -of every description. The Individual indeed seethed to :ualie lit- tle or no attempt to keep his operations secret. He simply walked from coun- ter to counter and tilled his pockets with whatever attracted his fancy. In spite of the strangeness of the man's proceedings there was nothing to be done but to have htn arrested, and he was given into ctist::.ly. IIis in- dignation was extreme. Hs protested that it was most unjust that he should be interfered with in this way when other people who were behaving in ex- actly the same manner were left un- molested, and he pointed to a stout gentleman of most respectable appear- ance who he asserted had been lay- ing his hands on all sorts of goods without resorting to the formality of paying for them. The policeman to whom he had been given in charge had been accustomed to listening to unconvincing explatia- tions and took his prisoner to the sta- tion. A few minutes later the stout gentleman, also in the care of a police- man, arrived at the same destination. The detective, whose curiosity had been aroused, had watched the per- sonage and had found it to be true that he was perpetrating theft after theft with the utmost dexterity. After a short investigation he was recognized to be an expert and notori- ous shoplifter, whereas the prisoner first arrested proved to be a lunatic but recently discharged from an asy- lum, whose mania took the form of imitating any person who might hap- pen to strike him.

Soared the Man Who Used Them. but Vanquished the Burglar. "Of all the outlandish weapons ever employed in a tight," said a business man of the south side, "I think I brought the most fantastic on record into play one night last week. My fatally' is away on a visit at present, and I am keeping bachelor hall out at the house. On the night to which I re- fer I was aroused at about 3 a. m. by a noise somewhere in the region of the dining room, and, thinking I had shut up the dog there, I jumped up very foolishly and came down stairs in my nightclothes without so much as a pocketknife. "When I opened the dining room door, I was startled to see a big, rough looking man bending over the side- board at the far end of the room, and after we had stood there en tableau for a moment the fellow made a rush at me. I leaped back Into the hall and glared around for a weapon. On a ta- ble near by were a dozen incandescent light bulbs, which I had brought home to replace some that had burned out, and purely by instinct I grabbed one of them and threw it at the burglar. It hit the door casing close to his head and, to my amazement, exploded with a noise like a young lyddite shell. "I suppose it was a still greater sur- prise to the other fellow, for he let out a yell and broke for the rear, f6howed by a rapid fire bombardment of 16 can- dle power incandescents, which I con- tinued to chuck at him as long as he remained in range. They smashed against the furniture with a series of crashes that alarmed the whole neigh- borhood, and I have been gathering up fragments of broken glass ever since. "The burglar must have thought I Was chasing him with band grenades. It was the first time I ever knew in- candescents made such a row when they broke.

"It isn't safe to start out without a pocketful of pennies any more," re- marked a member of the house the other day. "Yet I can remember that when I came down into this section of the country in army blue in 1863 a 5 cent piece was very small potatoes. We were camped awhile out there in Virginia, and my headquarters were in the big plantation home. A son of the house and myself became good friends, although he was 5 and I nearly 33. One day in lieu of the candy which I had forgotten to bring him from the near- by town I gave him a silver half dime. I had forgotten all about the incident, when some two weeks later be came into my room and, opening his hand, Veld out to me on his little pink palm the silver piece I had given him.

Showing flow Little Things May at Times Decide a Man's Fortune. The truth of the saying that little things may oftentimes play an impor- tant part t men's affairs when the men least expect it was illustrated one day recently. "See that young man over there," re- marked an insurance friend of his, pointing to one of his clerks working away industriously at a desk in anon]- ; er room. "Well, he got his place in my office through the striking of a mateb, although he doesn't know it. "I was standing at the entrance of this building about a month ago wait- ing for a friend to come down the ele- vator, when that young man approach- ed me with a letter of recommendation and au application for employmcut. I had made it known a few days before that I needed another clerk, and lie had beard of it. However, I had al- most made up my mind to take on a young man who had been to see me the day before and was about to tell the last applicant so, when he pulled a match from one of his pockets to light a cigar Il, ..had been smoking, but which hau gone out.. "'Sorry, sir,' he said, balancing him- self on one foot, while he lifted the other so as to admit of his striking the match on the heel of his shoe. 'Sorry, for I would like very much to work for you, and I think I would have made you a good clerk.' "The match striking incident made me think so too. !tight at the young man's elbow was a great Italian mar- ble column upon which were the marks showing where many matches had been struck by vandals too utterly indiffer- ent to the rights of others to refrain from indelibly stamping their vandal- ism upon property to restore which would have cost hundreds of dollars. It would have been the most natural thing in the world for many a man to have scratched that match on the mar- ble column, and the fact that this young man chose to use the heel of his shoe instead showed that he was thoughtful and conscientio s, two very excellent traits. I was so impressed that I told him to come and see me, and the result of the visit was his se- curing the position. And his month in my office has shown that I made no mistake in sizing him up."—Philadel- phia Inquirer. EXCHANGED OVERCOATS. At First by Accident and Then to Rectify the Error. "Queer things have happened to me in Chicago," said the rubber goods man, "but perhaps the queerest of all was the way I lost and found my over- coat last winter. It was all the fault of the check boy. He gave me out what I took to be my coat as I was ready to go to the depot. It fitted me all right, and so did the gloves in the pocket. It was not until I boarded the train that I found some letters which proved that I had the wrong coat. I bad a lower berth for Detroit. The up- per berth passenger came in after a bit, and as he sat down he said: "'Well, I thought I would get out of Chicago this time without anything happening, but I'm disappointed.

"Well, he bad my coat, and 1 had his," continued the rubber goods man, "and it took only a minute to effect the exchange. We were both bound for Detroit, both intended to put up at the same hotel and both had business with the same firm. It was a queer thing, taken all around, but, as I said at the beginning, there is no place like Chicago for surprises.

The Royal is made from pure grape cream of tartar, and is the embodiment of all the excellence possible to be attained in the highest class baking powder.

Samples of mixtures made in imitation of baking powders, but containing alum, are frequently dis- tributed from door to door, or given away in grocery stores. Such mixtures are dangerous to use in food, and in many cities their sale is prohibited by law. Alum is a corrosive poison, and all physicians condemn baking powders containing it. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK, MEET HiM WITH A SMILE. A Rule That Elicits a Protest From Married Women. "I do wish some one would write a few rules for men," said a young mar- ried woman recently. "I'at awfully tired of reading in magazines and newspapers that I must meet my hus- band when he comes borne from his office 'pleasantly and cheerfully,' that the house must be like a new pin, I must be prettily gowned, the dinner must be daintily cooked and served and that he mustn't be worried with a recital of the troubles of the day, no matter if delirium supervenes for me. "These precepts are all right theoret- ically and under ordinary circum- stances are practical. Every woman follows them instinctively who wishes to retain her husband's admiration, but why aren't there a few laws of this sort laid down for men to follow? "Why isn't there some one to tell them to look cheerful when they come in and to forbear to grumble if dinner is a trifle late for any good reason, to be a little sympathetic and affection- ate and remember that theirs are not the only troubles in the house? "According to the ordinary writer, a woman's whole married life should be spent in practicing expedients to keep her husband's love from growing cold, while be apparently may pursue any course he pleases, civil or uncivil, ty- rannical or gentlemanly, and be sure of retaining hers. "This may not be the masculine idea of the case at all; the sterner sex may not really expect to get the whole globe and give nothing in return, but it is not the writer's fault if they don't. I sedulously keep all such articles away from John, for he's a very good husband, and I'm afraid such litera- ture would put ideas into his head and spoil him. "Now, poor unenlightened soul, he has an idea that my side of the part- nership has its own worries, and be tries to help me straighten them out, but who knows how he would change if he ever discovered that be is really made of china and has to be handled with care to keep from being broken?" —Baltimore News.

Are Fond of the Soci- ety of Children. "There's a very general idea abroad in the land that men don't care to board in a house where there are chil- dren," said one of the sterner sex yes- terday, "but that is, I believe, a great mistake, just as it is an error to imag- ine that men generally don't like the little ones. No doubt there are a few crusty old bachelors in the world who would be horribly annoyed by patter- ing feet and shrill little voices in the halls and on the stairs, but I must con- fess I like to hear these noises, and I find by questioning a number of my friends—all young, unmarried men— that they do also. The children give a sort of homy atmosphere that's very pleasant to even the most comfortless places. "Taking one thing with another, I believe men are fonder of children than women are anyhow. What 1 mean is that more men4, than women are fond of them. 1 know plenty of the gentler sex who wouldn't think of going to a boarding house where youngsters were admitted, and 1 know just as many men who seek out those places and obtain a certain amount of comfort and satisfaction in their lone- ly lives in making friends with the youngsters and spending valuable time repairing sundry broken toys or telling wonderful stories in which giants fig- ure to an amazing extent. "A child's affection is a very delight- ful thing, and most men feel flattered to be the object of even a mild liking on the part of the small tyrants. There are half a dozen little one% in the house where I board, and I am the familiar friend of every one of them. It's a very delightful and absorbing ac- quaintance, and I'm fast developing into a story teller of such marked abil- ity that I'll make a fortune in this way, no doubt, after awhile."—Detroit Free Press.

According to the usual practice, the graduations on the thermometer scales and levels are marked by scratchlpg the surface of the glass in some way at each point where there is to be a graduation. says Popular Science. But the glass is weakened in each of these points and is apt to break, which is dangerous in the ease of boiler levels. It is evident that this could be avoided by softening slightly the surface of the glass at the desired points and mixing some coloring matter with it. An, American firm asserts that it has ob- tained this result under the best con- ditions by passing over the tube where a graduation Is to be marked an iron disk turning at the rate of 2,400 revo- lutions a minute. The friction causes a rise of temperature sufficient partly to melt the glass, and at the same time small particles of iron are detached from the wheel and become incorporat- ed in the softened glass.

One of the Weird Legends of Thi■ Ocean Graveyard — A Woman in White, a Bleeding Forefinger and a Ring Sold In Halifax. "Sable island belongs to Nova Scotia, is 145 miles from Halifax and 85 miles east of Cape Canso," writes Gustav Kobbe in Ainslee's. "It is a treeless, shrubless waste, seamed by wind and wave and of ever changing aspect. A cone shaped hill near the east end, once a mere undulation of sand, is now over 100 feet high and is still growing. Other hillocks are gradually being mowed away by storms. The hillocks are liable to be undermined so swiftly and swept out of existence that they are carefully watched from the various stations on the island, there being no certainty bow far an inroad of the sea will extend after each successful attack. Even the coarse grass of the island grows in a different manner from that of the mainland. It does not bear seed, but shoots up from roots which run along under the sand. Dur- ing the winter the sand is blown over the grass and buries it sometimes three or four feet deep, but the hardy blades grow up next season, as if the Island sands had protected them from the cold of winter in order to make them all the stronger. "The island itself is fighting for self preservation. It seems as if it drew ships into its fatal embrace as rallying points for its loose and shifting sand, thus to protect itself by a bulwark of wrecks against annihilation by the sea. Tradition says that when Sable island was discovered by Cabot in 1447 ft was 80 miles long and 10 miles wide. In 1802, when a rescue station was estab- lished there, it was only 40 miles long. Since then it has shrunk to but little more than 20 miles in length, and in width it is only a mile at its widest. Within 28 years the western end lost seven miles. Shoals over which the ocean now surges are pointed out as former sites of lighthouses. One of these was so swiftly undermined by the sea that it had to be abandoned with the greatest precipitation. The spot where once stood the superintend- ent's house is now under two fathoms of water. "The island, rapidly diminishing at its western end, is slightly gaining at its eastern. Slowly, like a ship drag- ging its anchor, It is moving eastward. Will it ever reach the edge of the shoals, stand tottering on the brink of the abyss till it receives its coup de grace and plunge over the submarine bank forever Nip the depths? Unfor- tunately its end will probably be less dramatic. There is good ground for believing that this gray sand bar will slowly wear away until it becomes an- other submerged shoal added to an am- buscade already some 60 miles in length, for a line of breakers extends 16 miles from one end of the island and 28 miles from the other. "In the space of a single year Sable island claimed more than 200 lives. In tact, so many wrecks line the shoals of this ocean graveyard that the new pile up on the old, like bodies heaped in one ditch. The Crofton Hall, an iron sailing ship wrecked a few years ago on the northeast bar, broke in two about amidships. The pieces have drifted together again, and the Island- ers suppose that she struck crosswise upon an old submerged wreck and is settling over it, which accounts for the two parts coming together. Nor is the islaiad satisfied with the awful tribute which it exacts from the living. The same informant who writes me about the Crofton Hall adds that the bark John McLeod, which was wrecked off Devil's island at the entrance to Hali- fax harbor, drifted ashore on Sable is- land bottom up, a wreck of a wreck! "One of the grimmest legends of Sa- ble island dates from the wreck of the Amelia, and there is enough evidence of truth connected with it to show what bloody deeds were added on that occasion to the terrors of shipwreck. Captain Torrens, who commanded the gunboat which was dispatched to Sable island after the wreck of the Amelia, was one of the survivors of the second disaster. A passenger on the lost trans- port was Lady Copeland, on her way to join her husband. The captain of the gunboat had been told that she wore on her forefinger a ring of pecul- lar artifice. "The story has it that Captain Tor - rens, wandering over the island one night in search of possible survivors, was attracted by the piteous whining of his dog in front of a small, open shelter known to have existed at that time, but long since toppled to pieces. Approaching the shelter, he was star- tled to see the figure of a woman all in white and holding toward him the bleeding stump of a forefinger.

"Years ago," said a Maine man, " was standing beside a gun at a stat router at Augusta when a salute t, the governor, who had just come oi; the field, was being fired. The cannon used was of the old fashioned kind, and It was prematurely discharged, with the result that the index finger of the right band of the man ramming the load home was blown off. The shock, together with the lodgment of flying particles of powder, had the ef- fect of driving the blood back from the wound, during which fragment of time the injured man calmly examined his mangled hand, but when the blood did come back it came with a rush and fairly bubbled out in a torrent. The man's calmness left him as if by magic at the sight of the blood, and, with a loud scream, he keeled over in a dead faint. "They used to tell a story of two men who were working on oppbsite sides of a buzzsaw. The attention of one be- coming momentarily distracted, he ran his finger against the saw, and the severed piece dropped. on the other side, where his partner was working. That worthy picked it up and, with the casual remark, 'Bill, you've dropped something,' handed it back to its own- er.

Americaus visiting London for the first time are more than likely to hail a hansom the day they arrive and start promptly to see the row. Half the books, stories, newspaper articles, etc., treating of English life make promi- nent mention of this the smartest driveway in the world. London so- ciety circles largely about Hyde park, and naturally enough tourists regard It as a good starting place from which to study lernisir°matmerivaniPp n. - Imagine, then, the indignation and the dlegust of a pair of pretty girls, ac- customed to traverse home drives in any fashion they like, warned back from Hyde park entrance by a six foot arm of the !am. No tips, no remonstrance, no pleading, has the slightest effect upon the stern "bobby," who simply orders cabby to depart and tells his fares to get a more cor- rect equipage if they desire to take part in the row parade. It is livery or nothing, and if the visitor continues to long for a glimpse of the Hyde park show she must have boots and breeches to drive her, there- by having at least the semblance of a private establishment. No admittance is the standing rule for the ostensible cab.—Boston Globe. A Bad Man to Interrupt. "W'en Moses tell de sun ter sten' still"— began the old deacon. "•L .it warn't Moses," interjected a brother in the amen corned; "dat wuz Joshua!" "Es I said," continued the deacon, "w'en Joshua tell de sun"— "Yob didn't say dat at all!" said the brother who had corrected him. "Hit wuz me dat said hit! Hit wuz me dat tuck yob up to hit!" The deacon's patience was exhaust- ed. He folds 3 his brass rimmed spec- tacles, laid them carefully on the table before him, walked over to the amen corner, took the objecting brother by both arms from behind and, with the swish of a cyclone, swept him forward toward the door, landing him precipi- ,Wgiy in outer darkness. "Ez I wuz sayin fob dis little inci- dent occurred," he continued, "w'en Moses tole Joshua ter tell de sun ter stan' still"— Some of the older, learned brethren moved uneasily in their seats. They looked as if they wanted to correct him. but they did not. They let it go at that. —Atlanta Constitution. Character In the Hair. If your hair is fine, it denotes gentle birth. If the ends cling together, it is a sign of .great intellectuality, and a tendency to curl shows inherent grace and a poetic nature. These ars some of the things set forth by the science of hair reading, yet undeveloped, but likely to "give us away" in a manner often more accu- rate than pleasing. This science tells us, too, that the person with straight Bair has a firm, positive and practical disposition. Col- or shows the temperament. For in- stance, it is well to watch out for the persdn with black, lusterless hair. He's apt to be treacherous and jealous. The lighter the hair the more sensitive and "touchy" its owner. Brown hair be- longs to him who has common sense. good judgment and reason in high de- gree, which would indicate that hu- manity isn't even half bad. Red hair shows honesty and cleverness. tarprtsea. McBwatters—Where are you going? Mc/twitters—I'm going month for my health.

He was born at Red Rock in 1844, and has lived there'ever since. Some of the early meetings were held at private houses, but the membership has become so large now that it is necessary to meet at some public place. The Rev. E. R. Lathrop delivered the opening prayer. The secretary read interest- ing letters from E. W. Durant, of Stillwater, president of the Territorial Pioneers, Judge Flandrau, W. P. Mari -ay, anti other prominent early settlers, who were unable to attend. The next following on the programme was a reading, The Folks We Used to Know, hy Mrs. F. C. Ford, and a recitation, The Second Old Settlers' Story, by Mrs. J. -H. Crandall. S. E. Goodrich read a paper, and H. S. Fairchild, of St. Paul, delivered an interesting address.

The meeting was adjourned by singing God Be With You Till We Meet Again, the bene- diction being pronounced by the Rev. E. R. Lathrop. The Burlington Moving. Surveyors are again in the field for the B. C. R. es; N. and are run- ning a line from Albert Lea to St. Paul. They will run through Geneva and, as far as we have been able to liana, are following the old survey towards Red Wing. It is not yet known that Faribault is on the lino, but it would be well for some effort to be made on the part of our citizens to learn if it is coming this Vfay. We need this road and steps should at once be taken to secure it. —Feri- bault Journal. The Hon. C. F. Staples, of West St. Paul. one of the best known and most highly esteemed republicans in the state, will be candidate before the next republican state convention as one of the nominees of the party upon. the railway and warehouse commis - 'ion. We understand he already has sufficient pledges of support to war- rant the expectation of his nomina- tion by acclamation, and a cleaner or more competent man could not be nnmed.—Lonesboro Journal. Of the splendid qualifications of Mr. Staples for this position (railroad commissioner) The Herald has spoken in a previous issue. These qualifi- cations include not only ability of the hig,heet order and long experience in public affairs, but a reputation for integtity which has never been questioned, and a record of public service which has always been abso- lutely above suspioion.—Rock County Herald. Col. William S. King, of Minneap- olis, who has long been identified with the growth of that city and wide- ly known throughout the northwest, died last Saturday, after a protracted illness, aged seventy-two years.

When I dream of all the gladness that has blest me And the sunshine that has made life's pathway bright, When I long from all the toil of earth to rest me Till the dawning of the day that knows no night, I remember all the love the years have taught me, And the happinees that filled them I recall, But a mother's love and all the joy it brought me Is the love that I remember beet of all! —Clifton Bingham in Chambers' Journal. t,^�t`.slfi�tK+p!�s sgfirt&!L�+�=!gi�t ... The Scarlet Domino How a Wife Was Caught In Her Own Trap. i . • ,�t�'��ti iZfi�t,�t,�ttt{i;iiyt�V�i: N:vpZ1,N'. n�nftbi'fii� The neglect to which the eggs and bacon were being subjected was not improving them. However, the two persons who should have been engaged in their consumption were in no mood to pay much attention to such trivial matters. The fact was, Mr. and Mrs. Heriot were indulging in the, for them, rare luxury of a disagreement, and as a result the domestic atmosphere of the pleasant Pont street breakfast room was considerably strained. "Arthur, dear," she said coaxingly, "don't let us quarrel over such a trifle any longer. I'm sure you can't be seri- ous in refusing to let me go with you tonight. I should so enjoy dancing with you I i your beautiful scarlet dorl!no! Besides," she added, with a little touch of naivete, "a wife's place is beside her husband, you know." "Yes,. my dear girl," answered the other lightly, "but not when his place is at a Covent Garden fancy dress ball. No, no, little woman, in this instance your place is at home. A Covent Gar- den hop is no atmosphere for any pret- ty woman under 75." "Then why should you go, Arthur?' demanded Phyllis promptly. "Why, because I'm a man, and"— Mrs. Heriot smiled enigmatically to herself as, a few minutes later, she watched her husband get into his han- som aud drive off to his day's work at the law courts. Although she kissed her hand to him readily enough in answer to his part- ing salutation, an expression of annoy- ance crept again into her face as soon as she turned away from the window. "How absurdly easy it is to see through 'men!' she reflected. "Of crourse Arthur has an assignation to- night with some horrid, scheming wo- man. However, I'm not going to be hoodwinked by his excuses, and so— whether he likes it or not—1 will go to Covent. Garden tonight and keep a lookout for the scarlet domino." When finally she entered the ball- room and mingled with the laughing crowd of merrymakers she rather re- pented of her hastily formed resolu- tion. She neither knew nor was known by any of the throng of dancers around her and consequently soon came to the decision that the proceedings were not very entertaining so far as she was concerned. Then the anxiously expect- ed scarlet domino unaccountably failed her, and, although a glimpse of red in the costume of some of the revelers from time to time made her heart beat :aster, it, was, on investigation, al- ways to prove the property of a stran- ger. At last, however, her eyes, strained with watching, caught sight of a scar- let clad figure leaning against a pillar a little distance from her. With a lit- tle gasp of triumph Phyllis recognized in it her husband's form. Now was the time, she reflected grimly, to test the truth of her theories respecting his allegiance to herself. Accordingly she made her way through the intervening crowd until at last she stood close be- side the form she sought. His back was turned toward her, however, and consequently it became necessary to attract his attention. Quickly dividing her violets, she thrust a bunch against the man's mask and with a light laugh stepped hastily back behind the pillar. Naturally she was promptly followed and a detaining hand laid on her e arm. "You're an enterprising young lady," laughed the red robed 1 g ndividu al light- ly, "and if you fail to make your way in the world it won't be because you're of too retiring a disposition. However, 1 like 'em your way best, I think, and you and I will probably get along very well with one another." "Are you sure you're not expecting any one with better claims upon you— your wife, for instance?" demanded Phyllis archly. "Oh, hang it all, my dear girl!" re- turned the other. "You don't expect a fellow to bring his wife to a Covent Garden ball, do you? Why, it's like taking a ham sandwich to a mansion house banquet." "No," thought Mrs. Heriot to her- self; "you leave her behind in Pont street." Aloud, however, she merely remarked: "I dare say you're not far wrong. Wives have a trying way of thinking themselves entitled to the whole of their husbands' society." The scarlet domino laughed good hu- moredly. "You're a funny little woman," he re- turned, "and I wish you'd take your mask off for a moment. A face that can think such thoughts must be rath- er interesting." "The disillusion might be disas- trous," answered Phyllis, with a fas- cinating sltrug of her shoulders. "Let s go and sit down somewhere, usomewh e though," she added,slipping her soft Pp g hand upon the man's wrist. "I'm tired of standing." They had wandered into one of the corridors, and the door of a -vacant boa sto,,d invitingly open. Without a word her companion paused on the threshoie'- and, guiding the other with- in the si,adow, quickly closed the door. Then, placing his arms around the girl's s!l i figure, he drew her sharply toward Lim and, raising the lower cor- ner of Ler mask, showered half a doz- en kisses upon the ripe, red lips that were so temptingly revealed. Phyllis felt for the moment that her husband's allegiance to herself had not really wavered after all. Then a sud- den revulsion of thought Swept over her, and she realized that her com- panion's embraces were offered in ig- norance of her identity. White and trembling. she pushed the man away and sprnug to the door again. "Let tele go!" she cried, fearing for her self control. "I ought to have been home 101 g ago." "Very well, my little Cinderella," an- swered tile scarlet domino good hu- moredly. "To our next merry meeting, then. May it be soon!" "Perhaps sooner than you think," re- turned tl.e other, with a hard little laugh. Then she turned and made her way rapidly to the vestibule, fearful of pursuit. It was with mingled feelings of rage and despair that Mrs. Heriot drove back through the hushed and deserted thoroughfares to the Pout street mai- sonette. How to meet her husband she scarcely knew, but wild thoughts of instituting proceedings for a separa- tion against him coursed through her brain as she lay back in the corner of her hansom. Half formed resolves to leave him immediately arose, only to be dismissed in favor of waiting until the morrow should give her an oppor- tunity of taxing him with his perfidy. That it would be impossible to do this without compromising herself did not enter into her calculations. All she knew was that she had been very bad- ly treated, and the one thought that possessed her was that of revenge. It was a very sad faced and heavy eyed Mrs. Heriot who the next morn- ing sat opposite her husband at the breakfast table. She did not bear him come in, for, although she had laid awake throughout half the night, sleep had at last gained its hold upon her. Consequently they met now for the first time since the previous morning. She returned his greeting mechanic- ally, for, although anger struggled .in her for the mastery, she saw that it was impossible to say what was in her mind in the presence of the parlor - maid. "How he brazens it out!" she thought fiercely as she nervously crum- bled the roll before her. Without betraying any surprise at his wife's coldness Mr. Heriot settled himself in his chair and leisurely ex- amined the pile of letters at his side. Then he put them down and medita- tively stroked his mustache. "Well, Phyllis," he remarked at length, looking up at bis wife with a smile, "you don't seem so cheerful as you ought to be considering that you bad your own way. after all, last night." "My own way? What do you mean, Arthur?" she exclaimed, startled out of her t.elf possession. "Why, dearest, about the Covent Garden affair, of course. I didn't go. after all. When. I got to my chambers yesterday, I found an important brief there that occupied me until the even- ing. Then I went on to the club and took a hand at 'whist with some men. As I was winning I didn't care about leaving, so I lent my mask and domino to young Ferrars. He's just my build, so the costume suited him capitally. It's a pit;: you don't know him, as he's rather a nice young chap in his way." "Oh!" said Phyllis. -Chicago Times - Herald. The 'English Army Officer. In olden days in England the army and the church were the only callings that could in any way be considered aristocratic, for they claimed almost a monopoly of physical and mental pow- er. Times have changed, but the pow- ers that decide what is and what is not aristocratic are intensely conserva- tive, and they still uphold the claims of the .army to distinction of this sort. The soldier, as attached by service to his sovereign, the recognized head of the aristocracy, is an acknowledged supporter and member of that class. The military element represents the physical force of the country, to which in any extremity the final appeal must be made, and so its officers are a part of the ruling power, which is assumed to be aristocratic. The soldier, too, draws his income directly from the state and is not compelled to seek the favor of the general public, as mem- bers of other professions must. He is Independent of all popular influence andressure and so stands high In so- cial rank and esteem. — London An- swers. Their First Steps.

One of the most gigantic trusts ever formed on this continent was in the early days of the republic, back in 1795. Ss•,reral gentlemen organized themselves into a company for the pur- pose of purchasing from the state of Georgia her unclaimed western terri- tory, extending from the Mississippi on the west to the Atlantic on the east and from the thirty-first degree of lati- tude north of the equator on the south to the southern boundary of 'Tennessee on the north, including what now con- stitutes the .territory of Georgia. Ala- bama and Mississippi. This vast ter- ritory was purchased for u.500,000 and this was the commencement of the fa- mous "Yazoo fraud," about which so much was said and written. The bill authorizing the purchase and sale passed the Georgia legislature on Jan. 9, 1795, and it is said that members were paid all the way from eight negroes to 200,000 acres of land to vote for it. Corruption by bribery was open. Great indignation spread throughout t: state, and upon the as- sembling of lite legislature one year later au act was passed declaring that the sald resumed act was null and void; that the records relating to the same be burned in order that no trace of so unconstitutional, vile and fraudu- lent a transaction should remain pub- lic. "The infamous records were placed in one vast heap," said a senator, "and a sun glass was used to set it on fire, that it might be said that the fire that destroyed It was from heaven. This Is the first and only instance in the history of the country where a leg- islative body personally superintended the destruction by fire of its previous records of corrupt and obnoxious laws." -St. Paul Globe. AN EDITOR'S APOLOGY. A Happy Inspiration That Proved to Be a Boomerang. The editor of a small provincial pa- per in Austria was In great difficulty to find a fit subject for his leading arti- cle, having been too intent upon other business or upon pleasure to provide • one. The last moment had come, and the editor was in despair. Ile tortured his brain in vain, when he suddenly was inspired by a happy thought and dashed of the lines: "After carefully perusing the leading article written for the present number by one of the ablest of our contribu- tors, we have arrived at the conclusion that it may be misinterpreted by the authorities and regarded as an attack upon the government. We ourselves consider It to be perfectly innocent; but, as we are unwilling, for our read- ers' sake as .veil as for our own, to have our newspaper confiscated, we have very unwillingly, though, as we think, prudently, resolved to withdraw the article. This must serve as the apology to- our readers for the blank space In our present issue." The journal was published in the evening, and the sly editor, after per- forming this little piece of stratagem, left the office in high humor. As soon as he arrived in the office the next morning a clerk came up to him with a doleful expression and said, "Herr Redaktor, the paper is confiscated by the police!" "For what reason?" ask- ed the astonished editor. "For mali- cious ridicule of the institutions of the Austrian empire by the omission of the leading article," replied the man. A Cartons Shoe Trust. Doylestown has four odd characters who pool their Issues in buying shoes. They all have the same sized foot, and each regards this fact in the nature of a libel perpetrated upon him by the other three. Every year each one of the quartet chips in $18, and the fund of $72 is expended for shoes. Buying them in such quantities there is natu- rally a reduction in price. One would think that there would be an equal di- vision of the shoes, but that isn't their little game. The shoes are owned collectively, share and share alike, and when not being worn they are kept in a closet in the express office. which is the general lounging place of the quartet. If one man wants to wear new shoes, he goes to the express office and puts them on. If he wears russets In the daytime and wants to wear patent leathers in the evening, he goes to the express office and snakes the change. They have been doing this for several years and claim they wouldn't wear shoes in any other way. -Philadelphia Record. Why They Keep to the Right. "It is a rare treat for a person to go through Europe tbs first time," said a returned tourist. "I visited one old palace in Scotland and was walking down a long corridor when 1 came to a sentinel, who told me to keep to the right. 1 could not see any reason why I should keep to the right and asked him why, but he said he could not tell. hcustodian, and he finallyasked the Bald he had looked it up in the archives of the palace and found that nearly 100 years ago the floor was painted, and some people walked over the fresh paint. The officer of the day was or- dered to station a sentinel there to keep people off from the fresh paint and have them walk to the right. The order had never been countermanded, and from that day to this a sentinel stands there and tells everybody to keep to the right." -Indianapolis Press. As to Feathering Nests.

FAMOUS LOST RIVER. A PECULIAR STREAM WHICH SUD- DENLY DISAPPEARS. It Sinks into the Earth Through an Unfathomable Hole and Bursts Forth Again From a 11111 Miles Away and Then Repeats the Trick. Famous Lost river manifests its strange disposiition through the north- ern and -.t; u .tern sections of Orange county. Ind. ',Cie river, parent of all smaller ones, gushes from a bluff in Washington county, a stream with strong current which carries every- thing before it. It ruts in well defined banks for several miles and then sud- denly disappears. Near Orleans It sinks into a great cavernous hole which might very readily be taken as the entrance to the lower regions and from which the river gained its sec- ondary name, the river Styx. The sink is black and unfathomable and even in the driest season has never been explored. although 1t has been as- certained that the descent is gradual and about 590 feet. Several miles from the first sink the stream comes forth from the side of a hill and, after running on the surface a mile or more, again sinks. By saw- dust and wooden ball tests it has been ascertained that another stream which rushes from the side of a bluff eight miles distant in altogether an- other section of the country is a con- tinuation of Lost river. This disap- pears in another sink, runs through an underground passage a mile or more in length and finally empties into White river. It is claimed the subterranean streams do not follow a single channel, but that the entire section is honey- combed by a complex system of mains and leads. Lost river was evidently a surface stream thousands of years ago. There is a well defined, deep rock bed leading from sink hole to sink, and in freshet season, when the volume of water be- comes too great for the subterranea>Z passageways to carry, the overflow fol- lows the old river bed and joins the subterranean streams at the "rises." The old surface course is overgrown with trees and briers and some of these indate that the surface course has not been used for at least cen- turies. Another evidence of its long habit of following underground sinks is shown by the mound builders' earth- works thrown up at various points where the river sinks away. Some of these mounds are the finest found north of the Ohio river. Of the surface tributaries to Lost riv- er the most remarkable is known as Stamper creek, which gushes forth from the sides of a bluff near Millers- burg. It has a rampant little current which carries everything with it to a sink hole a mile distant. No one knows exactly where it comes out, but some claim it makes its appearance at Spring Mills, six miles south. Here Lick creek bursts out of the base of a hill, just in the tear of the mill. Farther down stream Lick creek sinks away from view, and then comes up and flows to New Prospect, where it emp- ties into Lost river. There are several other surface feed- ers which are quite as freakish. Near them are found caverns through which subterranean streams flow. They are filled with eyeless fishes and water ani- mals. In some the streams have a swift current and are evidently part of the Lost river system. At certain points in the county the surface has caved in and shows Lost river running under- ground to the depth of 100 feet. How the water is again elevated to the sur- face is not known. The passageways are through white rock, worn smooth and white by the water. Those who have made a study of the subterranean streams of Indiana and Kentucky have advanced the theory that away below the surface of In- diana -in at least the southern portion -there is a secondary great system of waterways and subterranean rivers. Some geologists of note have concur- red in this theory.. It is known that such streams do exist in the extreme southern section. Wyandotte and oth- er caves owe theft origin to these streams. Some years ago a subter- ranean stream was found running un- der Rush county, almost 70 miles northeast. The water can be heard roaring through the passageways and at times the course seems to be over- taxed. It evidently flows a great dis- tance from the northeast and probably has its source in the St. Lawrence river system. 1t English a flood re-' suited in the discovery of another lost river. A new cavern was opened by the water in Crawford county. The attractiveness of Lost river and its tributaries is enhanced greatly by the weird, wild scenery of Orange county. There is no section of the state where the scenery is more strik' ing and diversified. Near the mouth of the river are the famous West Baden and French Lick springs, which throw off a water brackish in taste and green cast in color, which has become noted over the entire world. -Indianapolis Press. A New Arabic Notation. There is a city magistrate living up town who is possibly raising a mathe- matical prodigy in the person of his 3 or 4 year old daughter. She has on- ly recently begun to attend the kinder- garten and yet meditates changes in the system of enumeration now in vogue which, while startling, are cer- tainly suggestive. When asked the other day to count, she hesitated some and then lisped: "None, some, one, twq, free, fore." - New York Times.

A*,Irnportant Discovery Made at the Pulkowa Observatory. A short time ago the Philadelphia Record gave an account of the discov- ery by Dr. Gill at the Cape of Good Hope of the existence of oxygen in certain stars. The importance of the discovery lay !u the fact that down to that time all attempts to find this ele- ment in any of the celestial bodies had resulted -in failure. Another element, nitrogen, which has hitherto been sought in vain in the sun and the stars, has recently been discovered by Herr Belopolsky at the Pulkowa observatory in one of the variable stars in the constellation of the Swan -P. Cygni, a star of the fifth magnitude. Several photographs of a portion of the spectrum of this star were obtained by a spectograph at- tached to the 30 inch refractor of the observatory, and out of a total of 22 lines which appeared on the plates, 9 black and 13 dark, 7 were ascribed to nitrogen. There seems to be little room for doubt of the correctness of the identification of the lines, so that nitro- gen may now safely be added to the long list of terrestrial elements found also in the celestial bodies. The other elements identified in this star are hy- drogen (two lines) and helium (three lines). Eight lines are marked as of unknown origin. Another point brought out on these photographs -doubtless significant of the cause of the star's variability if on- ly it could be interpreted -is that, while the bright lines occupy their "normal positions," the dark lines are shifted toward the violet end of the spectrum, indicating that the body to whose light they owe their origin is moving toward us, though the bright lines indicate glowing gases which are not so moving. Danger In Artificial Teeth. Dr. Simpson maintains that the use of artificial teeth is bad for old per- sons' because it enables them to eat meat. The teeth, he affirms, fall out naturally at a certain age because na- ture means that at this particular time of life we should limit ourselves to a vegetable diet. Dr. Simpson insists that his ideas on this point are by no means as paradoxical as they may seem to some people. The idea that teeth fall out naturally at a certain age i however, rowever g an erroneous assump- tion. - P tion. The best authorities on dental surgery claim that with proper dare and attention the natural teeth will last as long as their owner, and experi- ence almost supports this claim. -Pop- ular Science.

A man who bas accidents happen to him with a gun is dangerous to our society an oughter be put out of the way fer the safety of respectable folks." -Philadelphia North American. SCORPIONS AND FIRE. The Poisouons Animals Are Particu- larly Senskise to Heat. - An interesting question has froni time to time been discussed by natu- ralists and physiojogists, as to whether the scorpion commits suicide by sting- ing himself with his own venomous dart. Experiments have often been made, which consist in surrounding the scorpion with a circle of fire, usual- ly formed of small pieces of burning coals. One may then see the animal agitate his tail in the air, waving his dart to and fro over his bead in a desperate movement and finally fall dead, ap- pearing to have decided that he could not escape the times and to have in- oculated himself with his own venom. This idea 1s now, however, found to be erroneous, as it `ras been proved that the scorpion is not affected by his owu venomous fluid, and the hypothesis of his suicide cannot be maintained. It appears from later observations made upon the death of the scorpion under the conditions in question that a more simple explanation is to be found. Scorpions are, in fact, sensitive to heat and are easily killed by a temper- ature not exceeding 50 degrees centi- grade. If one concentrate the solar rays upon a scorpion's back by means of a lens, one may observe that he tries by means of his tall to remove the cause of discomfort. It Is this move- ment of defense which bas hitherto been mistaken for one of suicide, and in reality the scorpion bas been killed by the heat to which he has been ex- posed under such circumstances -- Scientific American. Zulu Servants. The Zulu boy servants are much ap- preciated in Africa, but they have diffi- culties with the English language. Their special weakness is the confu- sion of the letters "1" and "r." As a result, instead of saying that "Break- fast is ready" they announce, to the as- tonishment of the stranger, "Black - faced lady, baas." They make excellent servants. One particularly faithful boy was always very careful as to whom he admitted into the house. One day three visitors called, none of whom had come with- out a card. He ushered the first two into the drawing room, but insisted on the other staying in the hall. "Two misses," he explained, "got ticket; you got no ticket; you wait outside!" The wise boy knew quite well that he himself wouldn't be allowed in a saloon without a ticket. Why, then, should he admit white ladies? -House- hold Words.

The dandelion isn't the only weed eaten by people who know what's good to eat, says The Industrial Journal. Take wild chicory, the plague of the farmer. It makes one of the finest salads served -piquant, tender and wholesome. Charlock, or wild mus- tard, is another bane of the farmer. He doesn't know that as a pot herb it can give a delightful flavor. The dock - weeds -how annoying the whole fami- ly are! Yet the broad leaf variety and the curly leaf are used all over Europe as table vegetables. There's pokeweed, commonest of them all. In France it is cultivated. It takes the place of sage, thyme, parsley and bay leaves as a flavoring for soup. Every- ! body in America hates a nettle and can't see what use it is. In Scotland, Poland and Germany tender young nettle leaves are used as greens. The Germans boil them with other vege- tables to give them a piquant flavor. Purslane is another weed that can be treated the same way. Most people 1 think milkweed poisonous. It is a me- dicinal vegetable, with a delightful ' flavor of its own. The young leaves, when they are just in the right condi- tion, are a cross between spinach and asparagus and in a salad are delicious. :Sorrell, fett+cus and chevril are looked on as field pests by 99 out of every 100 farmers. The hundredth one picks the 1 choicest lea -es from these weeds and sends them to market, where they find a ready sale for salads to be eaten with game and for flavoring herbs, for herbs they are and not weeds. Intense Cold Intoxicates, The usual results of exposure to ex- treme cold are loss of energy, both physical and mental, followed by drowsiness and disinclination to move. The mental faculties become torpid and the senses numbed, while the victim is seized with an irresistible desire to lie down and sleep. If this desire is yield- ed to, the lethargy passes into stupor, and death follows. Occasionally these symptoms are preceded by others which resemble those of intoxication and are due to a peculiar condition of the blood, which at a very low tem- perature takes up an insufficient quantity of oxygen and so has an in- jurious effect on the nervous system. It was observed during the retreat of the French from Moscow that those i who were most severely affected by the cold often reeled about as if in- toxicated. They also complained of giddiness and indistinctness of vision ' and sank gradually into a state of lethargic stupor, from which it was im- possible to arouse them. Other in- stances are recorded in which persons became delirious and died through a short exposure to intense cold. How It Was.

DEFECTIVE PAGE 1111 MOM 1"ool the Bee■ and the People. "People buy comb honey," said a man from the country, "believing that the fact that it is sealed by the honest little bee precludes the possibility of fraud. The fact is that the bees of many professional 'honey' raisers do nothing the livelong summer but pack glucose into their hives from an open barrel that is left standing close by. The bee will not sears') fragrant flow- ers the livelong day for a trifling amount of pure homey when he can get glucose. The honey men see that there is plenty of glucose bandy, and instead of one pound of pure honey they aid the bees in putting ten pounds of glu- cose on the market. "Human ingenuity has not devised a way for making and sealing the honey comb, or the bee would be dispensed with altogether. In handling the glu- cose the bees give it a honeyish flavor, and if you complain to the bee man that it is not as sweet and sticky as it should be he will tell you that it is the early crop and that the heavy rains make it thin. "I know a man who keeps 50 hives of bees on the roof of his store in the city, and by hustling up plenty of glu- cose he gets enough `honey' out of the buzzing slaves to do a wholesale busi- ness in honey. Why, his bees never saw a flower and would shy at a hon eysuckle if they happened to come near one. He will not even let the poor things have a recess to get a drink of water, but keeps a pan of fresh water near the hives for them to drink." - New York Mail and Express. An Immortal Oration. The funeral oration of Pericles is pretty nearly what was actually spo- ken, or else it is the substance of the speech written out in the historian's own words, says James Ford Rhodes in The Atlantic. Its intensity of feel- ing and the fitting of it so well into the situation indicate It to be a living con- temporaneous document, and at the same time it has that universal appli- cation which we . note in so many speeches of Shakespeare. A few years after our civil war a lawyer in a city of the middle west who had been selected to deliver the Memorial day oration came to a friend of his in despair because he could write nothing but the commonplaces about those who had died for the Union -and for the freedom of a race which had been uttered many times before, and he asked for advice. "Take the funeral oration of Pericles for a model," was the reply. "Use his words where they will tit and dress up yme alit our da -Y." The orator was surprised to [inn now much of the oration could be used bod- ily and how much, with adaptation, was germane to his subject. Averted the Storm. A certain congressman went home at a very early hour in the morning. He had made a night of it with some friends. He knew that his conduct would be considered reprehensible by his better half, and so, as he ascended the steps of his modest home, he rack- ed his brain for some plan to avert the lady's wrath. As he entered the hall he saw an umbrella. Instantly it oc- curred to him that the umbrella might be his salvation. He carried the umbrella up stairs. Seating himself on a chair in the cor- ner of the bedroom, he raised the rain guard over his head, and then he coughed loudly. His wife awoke and saw in the dim gaslight her liege lord sitting solemnly under the raised um- brella. "What are you doing?" she asked in natural surprise. "It is 3 o'clock, my dear," said he, "and I am waiting for the storm." The congressman's ready wit saved him from a Caudle lecture. He is wor- rying now, however, to find an equally effective act for the next time he stays out late. -Washington Post. Force of Habit. In 1827, just after Dan Dougherty, the Irish pugilist, fought his famous fight with Jem Belcher, the English fighter, on the curragh of Kildare, near Dublin, he became involved in a con- troversy with an unknown. The lat- ter was not a pugilist, and, not wishing to take any advantage of his opponent, Dougherty consented to fight him with pistols. The two met by appointment, but their seconds, unknown to them, extracted the balls from the pistols and substituted blank cartridges. By the -terms of the agreement between the principals Dougherty's opponent was to have the first shot.

He knows more people to be a stranger to than any other being in the world. He has no holidays. His Christmas is the rec- ord of other men's joys. His Thanks- giving is a restaurant. Even the Fourth of July and Sunday, servants of the commonest man, refuse hhn their cheer. The Fourth of July Is the day he must be in every- place at once, be- cause everything is happening, and Sunday is the day he must make thigs up, because nothing is happening. His labors are our pleasures. He gets his vacation by doing another man's work and earns his living by watching other people live. The very days and the nights turn their natural backs upon him. The lamp is his sun by night, and the curtain is his night by day, and he eats his supper iu the morning. His business is the reflec- tion of life. He is the spirit behind the mirror. What is left to us is right to him, and right is left. Sometimes right side up Is upside down. The world is all awry to the newspa- per man. It whirls across the hours in columns, now in one edition and now in another, but it heeds him never in return. He is a spectator. The show passes before his face -a shut out, unsparing face. Ile lives as the years go on, a notebook under the stars, and when the notebook is scrib- bled out he dies. -Gerald Stanley Lee in Atlantic. The Emergency Clerk. "I ran across a clerk here who is worth his weight in gold, or, at least, in gold bricks," said a guest at one of the hotels. "If I was in business in New Orleans, I would get that man if I had to chloroform and abduct him. The way I discovered his merits was this: I was standing in a store down the street, waiting for my wife to de- cide what RIIP. 1h1&. ,,, + t..n mnriP girl walked up and when to see some golf clubs. The young man behind the counter showed her several, and in a few moments she found one that suited her and went away with It under her arm. "'Are there many players in New Orleans?' I asked after she had gone. "'Oh, yes; quite a number!' replied the clerk affably. "'Have you golf links here?' I con- tinued, getting interested. "A look of real pain crossed the young man's face. 'I am sorry,' he said, 'very sorry, but the fact is we sold our last golf links this morning. However, we have ordered a new stock,' he added. brightening up, 'and they will be here in a few days. Which did you wish, the plain or the-er-fan- cy links?' "A clerk like that is beyond price, sir, perfectly invaluable. Ten years hence I expect to find him a merchant prince." - New Orleans Times-Demo- cr.,,. Two Views of the Same Man. "Why did you take that man's case?" the fresh graduate of the law school asked after iris father, the old attor- ney, had bowed a client out of the of- fice. "There is no possibility that you can win it for him. One glance at his face shows that he is the briber and all around rascal be is accused of be- ing." "Is that so?" the old man replied. "I'm sorry to bear it -really sorry. I wish I had known it." "Why, you must have been able to see for yourself if you are any judge of character at all." "I am usually pretty good at such things, but I must confess that I didn't notice it in this case. In fact, I didn't see his face at all." "Didn't see his face!" "No. He had a wallet in his band that took my eye.

The Work Which Is Performed This Class of Detectives and t Qualities For Which It Calls—Met ods of the Woman Spotter. A little over three months ago th alighted from an Oakland ferryboa demure little woman, who passed alo with the crowd, with scarcely a glan to the right or left. Her petiteness tracted some attention and her m esty more, but no one who obsery the air of confidence with which s made her way to the public carria stand would have imagined that s was a stranger and that for the 11 time in her life she was visiting S Francisco. Giving a few quiet directions and e tering a cab, she was whirled aw from the huseiing throng and driven a hotel. Later the register contain an unassuming "Miss Waller, Chic go." Her room was No. 11. Calling private messenger, she dispatched message to a firm of lawyers, and th evening, promptly at 8 o'clock, a pro perous looking, well dressed gentlem entered the hotel, glanced at the reg ter, and, ignoring the clerk's questio "Do you want anything?" passed the waiting elevator and walked the stairs. That was Tuesday evening. 0 Wednesday morning Miss Waller mag have been seen boarding a Mark street car bound for the ferry, whe she purchased a train ticket and eros ed to the mole. She returned late Friday evening, and Saturday mornin the same messenger took a sealed le ter to the same lawyers, but this tam there was no evening caller. Saturda evening she left town again for a fe days, and these trips were continue until one day last week, when, by th merest chance, the object of her r peated outings was discovered. On th occasion she was the possessor of ticket to a city near the Missouri rive and she smilingly confessed that sh was bidding goodby to San Francisco for some time to come. As an illustration of the care which she must exercise in order to enhance her value to the big railway corpora- tions in this country it is only neces- sary to state that in the ten years which she has devoted to the business of spotter, or, as she would probably prefer to have it called, private de- tective, she has doubtless made fewer friends than any one else in the coun- try. And while she will not allow any one to get thoroughly acquainted with her, she does not make enemies. That would be ruinous. It is an unwritten law of the rail- roads that every employee is open to suspicion until he has been proved guilty, and the people who take upon themselves the task of separating the two classes—those who are found guil- ty and those who are as yet merely un- der suspicion—are objects of the great- est contempt with the army of toilers who seek a living on the trains. To offset this unpopularity, however, they have the inducement of large financial returns. There Is no ironbound rule governing the amount of money which they receive, but the more proficient of the class probably make from $2,500 to $3,000 a year. At times a railroad will have an im- portant case on its hand, and the serv- ices of a first class spotter will be in- valuable to the company, and on such occasions, if successful, the financial returns increase wonderfully. There is a much greater demand for this class of detectives in the east than there is here, and several reasons are given for this condition of affairs. In the first place, traffic being heavier, there are more trains run there, and more mels. are employed by the com- panies. Besides, that section is more thickly populated, and way trainsare in many instances run hourly, if not oftener, but probably the truest cause for the increased dishonesty among railway conductors in the east is the low rate of salary which they receive. There is a well defined belief among eastern men who travel extensively that any man who has reached that de- gree of prosperity where he can afford to wear creased trousers is hopelessly extravagant if he pay more than one- third fare after crossing the Mississip- pi river. I once beard a popular actor giving his reasons for this assertion in a resort on the Atlantic coast, and, after enlightening his audience with a dissertation on the almost utter worth- lessness of money in the west, so far as railroad traveling was concerned, he continued: "Take any train on any road west of Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago or St. Paul, and the rest is easy. Assume an air of indifference and smoke a cigar. If your conductor be seedy looking, have a beard, an old uniform with threadbare elbows and a hopeless ex- �ression on his face, pay your fare. He s an honest man. A thousand dollars wouldn't tempt him, and you are out a whole stack of dollars for getting on his train. Had you waited for the next one things would have been efferent There you have a prosperous looking fellow, who spent his last hour before leaving time in a barber's chair and who, but for his uniform, would pass for a drummer or even a banker. He looks as well fed and as well groomed as a king, and you need have no fear that be will decline your invitation to divide the cost of your ride to your destination or at least to the end of his division."—San Francisco Chroni- cle- by he h- ere to ng ce at- od- ed he ge he rst an n- ay to ed a- a a at .- an is- m, by up n ht et re 9 - on g t - e y w d e e - is a r, e A Cautions Recommendation.

Hartin & Emerson's teed mill on the levee was damaged by fire Thurs- day night, between ten and eleven o'clock. The grain cleaner and spouting in the basement was burned, and a quantity of corn meal, Graham flour, ground feed, and corn spoiled by water. The building was owned by the T. J. Reed estate. The de- partment was ealled out, and Seymour Carter and F. N. Crosby also did effective service with fire extinguish- ers when the blaze was first discover- ed. The losses on buildin'g, ma- chinery, and stock were covered by insurance. Hartin & Emerson had $500 insurance on stock in the Penn- sylvania Fire Insurance Company, Whitford h Boynton agents, and $250 on machinery in the London & Assurance Co., A. J. W. Thompson agent. The building was insured for $400 in the Minneapolis Fire and Marine, L. W. Turnbull agent, and $250 in the Boston and $250 in the Magdeburg„ Crosby de Lowell agents.

"Lot it be," said he, "that the hounds shall win, Let it come that I bow to the curs And stand a fool in the eyes of the world, But, oh, never a fool in hers!" It was not for the sake of the things they sought Nor the foolish crowns they cried for, Nor for any of all the ancient gods Their fathers had fought and died for. It was not, he knew, for the name of the land Nor the pride of the loins that bore him; Not, not for these did he die his deaths And crueh to the goals before him. So the years that he wrought were empty years, And the laurels he gathered—their laughter; But, ah, not his were the lips that kissed Her—her whom he hungeretl atter. "Let it be that the ancient jests holds good, Let it come that I bow to the curs And stand a fool in the eyes of the world, But, oh, never a fool in hers!" Aye, the years he wrought seemed wasted years, And ids goodly strength Was broken, And his shriveled heart lay dry as dust, And the word was left unspoken. Tet he stood, at the end, in their wondering eyes (For all that he held them curs), Far more of a god than r fool indeed, ' But a fool to the end ifi hers) —Arthur J. Stringer in Ainslee's. Hs ExceIIeAcY MY C0118111 A Story of a Man Who Received a Legacy. By Soloman Mikssath. Copyrljlst, 1000, by Ervin Wardman. A rich and distinguished relative is by no means an unmixed blessing. When I wrote my name in the matricu- lation book at the university, the rector raised his eyebrows and said: "Ail! A relative of his excellency, I suppose." "Yes," "And yet you wish to take advan- tage of the free scholarships?" "It is necessary, unfortunately—for the present at least." Thus I began under unfavorable auspices. I had all the notoriety at- taching to distinguished connection, with none of its advantages, for I was poor as a church mouse. My comrades pointed -me out to their friends, saying; "He's old Teleky's cousin, you know. - He'll have a pile when the old boy pegs out." This sort of thing worried me. There was one compensation, however. My name and presumptive wealth procur- ed me the favor of young ladies and their mammas, and for several seasons I basked in the smiles of beauty. My whole family, with all its branch- es—there must have been a score of persons all told—had, like myself, been waiting for the future dead man's shoes until they had become almost barefoot. My cousin in the beginning had been nearly as poor as the rest He owed his advancement and his wealth to his rare political abilities. He had been a profess9i nal politician all his - life. Now htlwas called a statesman. He gave evidence of his talent in boyhood. The neighbors' boys used to reb his father's orchard. One day my cousin armed himself with a knife and a big medicine bottle with a poison label.. He went to the orchard, where, in full view of some of the. suspected pilferers, he made small incisions in a number of the most tempting apples and poured -a few drops from the bot- tle into each incision. Some of the boys asked him what be- was doing. He responded that whoever ate those apples wouldn't care for apples there- after. Thenceforth the apples remain- ed undisturbed. The bulk of his wealth came to him through a lucky chance while he was private secretary to a certain high functionary. A rich banker applied to the official for a concession, backing his applica- tion with arguments of the most weighty and convincing character. But the law, unfortunately, stipulat- ed that the bolder of the concession must be a Hungarian, which the bank- er was not. "It can be arranged," said the dis- penser of patronage. "You have a daughter, I believe?" "Yes." "Well, all you have to do is to marry her to a Hungarian as soon as possi- ble. Then you can take the concession in her name—that is, in her husband's." At that moment my cousin entered. "Here is the man for you," said his chief. "My secretary is a Hungarian of good family and amenable to reason. Teleky, allow me to present you to your future father-in-law." The banker looked at the handsome young Hungarian, and the bargain was struck, the lady interposing no objec- tion. We never profited one stiver by my cousin's greatness. In late years in- deed he had shown the greatest ani- mosity toward the whole family. Some of the affiliated branches who were poorer and prouder than the Telekys themselves murmured loudly, and it was their complaints, the Telekys in- sisted, that had hardened the great man's heart. On the other hand, these relatives insisted that it was all our fault, and so a family dissension was added to our other mortiflcations. But in Hungary everything can be converted into cash—even expectations. We had no legal claim on our cousin's estate, but we found plenty of usurers willing to take long chances. This was carried on to such an ex- tent that the wit of the family said he hoped "the old man" would never die, as things were going on most com- fortably as they were, and when the crash should come it would take the assets of a Rothschild to meet the out- standing liabilities. The old man did die, however, while I was still at the university. He was 111 for a long time, and the newspapers were full of reports regarding him. They• said, among other things, that the bulk of his immense fortune would go to the Budapest almshouse, but.that every relative who should appear at the funeral would receive a respecta- ble bequest. And, as a matter of fact, on the day after the old man's death I received a formal invitation to the funeral from his confidential factotum, who added a hint that my future finan- cial welfare would depend largely up- on my presence or absence. Of course I went it was my first v.Atit to the capital, but I had no diffi- culty in finding my late cousin's town residence, which was in a large apart- ment house. A hearse and carriage stood before the door when I arrived, and a great crowd of idlers had collected to see what they could of the distinguished man's funeral. I saw none of my rela- tives among the few people who were entering, and I blamed myself for be- ing the last to arrive. Just then two ladies entered. They were richly dressed, but entirely' in black, and they held handkerchiefs to' their eyes, from which tears were streaming. I followed them to an apartment on the second floor, where we found a goodly company of ladies and gentlemen, many of whom seemed as deeply affected as the two ladies who had just arrived. There could be no doubt of the genu- ineness of their grief. Their eyes were red and swollen, as if from pro- longed weeping, and their handker- chiefs were used constantly. Still I saw none of my numerous rel- atives. Evidently they were all In the inner room, where the funeral no doubt was already in progress, while I was cooling my heels with the ,out- siders in the anteroom. - A sad faced domestic, clad wholly in black, stood at the door leading to the Inner room. I approached him and en- deavored to explain my connection with the dead man, - but he cut me short at the first word. - "Not yet," he said. "It is not yet time. You must wait." I wafted. After a time one of my companions rose and approached the inner door, which was opened obse- quiously by the flunky. In a little while another did the same. When three or four thus had passed behind the mysterious door, I made the at- tempt myself, but was waved back imperiously by the sad faced servant I continued to wait, repeating the at- tempt at intervals without success. After I had waited some hours I dis- covered that each person before be left his seat received an almost impercepti- ble sign of invitation from the servant. I waited until nightfall, but no such invitation came to me. Then my wrath rose, and I went to the door again. "It is not yet your turn, sir," said the man of mystery. Turn! Whatsort of funeral was my distinguished cousin having, I won- dered. - "See here, my man," I said, "do you know who I am?" "I do not, sir, but it can make no"— "I am Franz Teleky, your deceased master's cousin!" I thundered. The man's face relaxed into a grin. "Deceased master?" he said. "Tel- eky? Ho, ho! Ha, ha! The Teleky funeral, my dear sir, was on the floor below. It has been over for - hours now. This is the oculist's office!" I went back to the university, curs- ing myself for a fool and bitterly envy- ing my fortunate relatives—to say nothing of the almshouse. The next day's papers had a full ac- count of the funeral and the reading of the will. "Franz Teleky, a cousin of the deceased,- they said, "was the on- ly relative absent" The will was found to •agree with the forecast of its contents, which had been printed and which had been given to the papers (I learned afterward) by the old man's order. About a quarter of the estate was divided equally among the relatives who 'attended the funeral, and the remainder went to the almshouse. But then the lawyer read a codicil of recent date and in the handwriting of the deceased man. It ran as fol- lows: "As I `am well acquainted with the grasping character of my relatives I feel certain that not one of them will fail to attend my funeral if he thinks he can make anything thereby. Never- theless it is my whim to order that if any one of said relatives shall absent himself from said funeral said rela- tive, in consideration of the independ- ence of character manifested in such action, shall become my residuary legatee instead of the almshouse, and he is hereby constituted such residuary legatee, and my executors are hereby directed to give, make over and deliver unto him, the said residuary legatee, all the rest, remainder and residue of my proper that may be left after the sums bequeathed to my relatives pres- ent at said funeral shall, have been paid."—Translated From the Hunga- rian For the New York Press. The Reporter, The average reporter asks, "What do people want?" The great reporter asks, "What shall I make them want?" The public flatters the average report- er with prompt success. "You give us," it says, "what we want." To the great reporter it says in its slowly awakened but innumerably decisive way: "What will this man Kipling want next? Then we want it" The average reporter, eternally gad- ding about for availability instead of cultivating ability, cares more about succeeding as a writer than he does about the thing he writes about. That is why he is an average reporter. The power to make men interested in the things they have not learned to like is a power that belongs alone to the dis- interested man, the man who is led by some great delight, until the delight has mastered his spirit, given unity to his life, become the habit and the com- panion of his power, led him out into a large place to be a leader of men.— Gerald Stanley Lee in Atlantic. Afraid to Bid. At an auction sale of miscellaneous goods at a country store the auctioneer put up a buggy robe of fairly good quality. An old farmer inspected It closely, seemed to think there was a bargain in it, and yet he hesitated to bid. - "Think it cheap?" asked the auction- eer, crying a 10 cent bid. "Yes, kinder," was the reply. "Then why dont you bid and get it?" "Waal, I've bought heaps o' things In dry goods and so on," slowly rejoined the old man, "and I never yet took home anythllig that the old woman thought was worth the price, If I get that 'ere robe for even 15 cents, she'd grab it up, pull at one end, chaw on a corner and call out: 'Cheated again! More'n half cotton!' That's the reason I dasn't bid."—Ohio State Journal. • .• e FIGHTING FIRES 1 *SOME OF THE NEWEST DE• - ♦ VICES IN USE BY FIRE DEPARTMENTS. ♦ L•s♦,s♦ �•••x ♦ ♦•x'♦�♦e♦ ♦ ♦*♦4 New York's fire chief, Edward Cro- ker, nephew of the Tammany boss, has invented the latest device, a "light engine." The new engine will not be used directly to help put out fires, says a correspondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean. Nor will it be used at all in the daytlnll. But - in the nighttime it will be invaluable to the firemen. It will have a high pressure boiler and a high speed engine, like all other fire engines, but in place of a pump and pipes it will have a big electric dyna- mo and a powerful searchlight. This searchlight will be different from all others. Instead of throwing a great beam a long distance it will radiate illumination over a wide area. The ordinary searchlight has a lens made of bars of glnss running straight up and down. This concentrates the full strength of the light In a solid beam that carries anywhere from 500 feet to five miles. In the light design- ed by Chief Croker the glass bars are placed horizontally in the lens frame. FIREMAN'S HELMET. This spreads the light, as shot is spread out of a choke bore gun,. It doesn't carry nearly so far, but covers much more space on the target. The introduction of the "light en- gine" will mean the elimination of one of the greatest sources of danger for the fire fighters. . Nothing is so produc- tive of accidents at night fires asthe darkness. In the daytime and in light places men are seldom caught in a trap, - even when a "smothered fire" has eaten away the props of floor or roof. If he can only see, the fireman's practiced eye can generally discern pre- liminary -indications of danger when the support on which he is standing or the particular place that he Is ap- proaching has been undermined. But at night he can discern nothing of these indications and thust blindly take chances, trusting to luck and agili- ty for his escape when the trap mani- fests itself by the trembling that al- ways precedes the caving in of a roof or floor. Even if he notices the trembling in time or if a burst of flame shootiug out of the smudge reveals it to him he fre- quently finds himself unable to escape, because in the darkness and smoke he does not know which way to turn for safety. Often even after the floor or roof has sunk under his feet the fire- man might still save himself if he could only see. Somewhere in most "caves" there is a way out or a shelter, but at night the fireman, groping help- lessly in the dark, must rely entirely on his sense of touch to find either. The smoke helmet, though not so novel, is an exceedingly useful con- trivance. It is an awkward looking affair, about two feet high and some- what over three feet in circumference. It is carried in a polished• bard wood case and Is guarded and teftded as carefully as a watch, for the firemen are very much attached to it. It is. made of leather. It covers the head completely, and its base rests on the shoulders, where it is held ' firmly In position by means of straps that run under the armpit. It is; intended to be worn in places so filled with smoke that an unprotected man could not ex- ist therein at all. Although the life saving cage recent- ly adopted by the New York fire de- partment has not yet been put to a praetical test, the firemen expect great things from it. It looks not unlike a toboggan. The cage is about six feet long and two and a half wide, with wire sides .and a curved bottom, made of heavy metal It is made to run bong a strop ladder, . elevated by means of in aw (sand working on a revolving platform fastened at the front end of the hook and ladder truck that carries it. It is attached to a stout wire cable which passes over a pulley at the top of the ladder and Is under the control of a fireman whose station is on the truck. After the lad- der has been raised it is swung around against the front of the building, and then the "cage" is ready for business. Sows' Milk For Babies. A novel,, petition has just been sub- mitted to the French chamber of dep- uties by a woman resident in the Fin- istere department. She proposes that. steps bo taken to test the quality of sows' milk as a form of nourishment for babies. Donkeys' milk, as is well known, is superior to cows' milk for the ,purpose, but the employment of the domestic pig has the merit of nov- elty. Several doctors have already ronouneed in favor of the he innovation however.—London Chronicle. For Art's Sake.

He idolized Blaine, and for years there was bad blood between him and Reed, because Reed acted as though he thought himself as great as, or greater than, the plumed knight. The story is that $outeile accompa- nied Blaine on his western tour in 1884. WVhen the special pulled out of Nev York, Boutelle rushed over to Blaine's seat, his face white with an- ger and his voice vibrant with passion. Holding in his trembling hands a copy of the New York Tribune, he pointed to an article and exclaimed, "Was there ever such fatuous blundering as that?' For half an hour ho commented on the article to the half score persons who had gathered round. The Tribune was Blaine's chief organ, as every one knew, but the fiery Yankee of French extraction continued to pour hot shot into it. Finally Blaine said, "Charley, do you know who wrote that and pro- cured its insertion in The Tribune?" "No," was the answer, "but I take it that it was Whitelaw Reid or some other infernal fool." "You are wrong, Charley," replied Blaine. "I wrote it and had The Trib- une print it"—Washington Cor. Louis- ville Courier-JournaL A >Rwrd Rala. "It rains a great deal in the Puget sound country," says a man from that part of the T.1fl1on, "and Lheard a fun- ny incident not long ago about it. Some chap had come from the Mississippi valley to take up his residence at Whatcom, on Bellingham bay, where there are very high tides. When the boat landed him at the end of the long pier extending over the tide flats, the water was low, and the new man did not notice anything but a wide stretch of sand between the boat and the town. "It was in the evening, about dark, and was raining, and he went to the hotel on the front street and staid there, going to bed without having gone out for a walk. The next morning when he got up he looked out, and the tide was in, the water coming up close to the hotel. He gazed at the wide- spread water's for an instant, and, throwing up his hands in astonish- ment, he exclaimed, 'Gee whiz, but it must have rained hard last night!' "Then he hurried down stairs to the office to find out if there was any dan- ger from the Hood, and the clerk smiled four or five times and gave him some much needed information."—Washing- ton Star.

With the advent of so many Chinese restaurants in different parts of the city it is confidently declared that "chop suey". and other well known Chi- nese delicacies are consumed more by Americans than by Chinamen. A Har- lem Chinaman who bad been down to Mott street for a social time was on a Third avenue "L" car and got into conversation with a neighbor. "I suppose you like chop suey, eh, John?" asked the casual acquaintance. "No," was the other's answer, with a positive shake of the head. "Me no likee chop alley. Me eat spareribs and sauerkraut." And in further conversation it was revealed that this Chinaman, like many of his fellow countrymen in New York, who had, likb himself, been here 14 years or so, hardly tasted traditional Chinese dishes. One of the first direc- tions In which a Chinaman becomes Americanized is in his liking for Amer- ican food, cooked in the American way. —New York Letter in Pittsburg Dis- patch. Conolse and Explicit. Many stories, mostly fabrications, have been told about long, diffuse tele- graphic messages sent by women, as if the feminine mind were incapable of expressing itself concisely. How false and slanderous such an impression is is well shown by an in- cident reported by a contemporary. A gentleman went to Paris on business. As he wknt away he said something to his wife bout buying her a new dress. Just before starting homeward he tele- graphed to his wife, "Which shall I bring you, a diamond ring or a silk dress?' The reply was concise and explicit— one word, "Both." Took the Tip. The good advice of the laird of Ws. terton, in Aberdeenshire, to a sheep stealer reads like a very practical joke. He had himself sent the man to jail, and in those days sheep stealing was a capital offense. Visiting the prisoner the night before the trial, he asked him what he meant to do. To which the prisoner replied that he intended to confess and to pray fair mercy. "Confess!" said Waterton. "What, man, will ye confess and be hanged 7 Nae, nae! Deny it to my face." He did so and was acquitted.

Stringer in Ainslee'a Nis EceIIeoc MY C0113111 A Story of a Man Who Received a Legacy. By Soloman Mikszath. Copyrigiet, 1900, by Ervin Wardman. A rich and distinguished relative s by no means an unmixed blessing. When I wrote my name in the matricu- tation book at the university, the rector raised his eyebrows and said: "Ah! A relative of his excellency, I suppose." "Yes." "And yet you wish to take advan• tage of She free scholarships?" "It is necessary, unfortunately—for the present at least." Thus I began under unfavorable - auspices. I had all the notoriety at- taching to distinguished connection, with none of its advantages, for I was poor as a church mouse. My comrades pointed -me out to their friends, saying: "He's old Teleky's cousin, you know. He'll have a pile when the old boy pegs out." This sort of thing worried me. There was one compensation, however. My name and presumptive wealth procur- ed me the favor of young ladies and their mammas, and for several seasons I basked in the smiles of beauty. My whole family, with all its branch- es—there must have been a score of persons all told—had, like myself, been waiting for the future dead man's shoes until they had become almost barefoot. My cousin In the beginning had been nearly as poor as the rest. He owed his advancement and his wealth to his rare political abilities. He had been a profess! nal politician all his life. Now hd was called a statesman. He gave evidence of his talent in boyhood. The neighbors' boys used to rob his father's e s orchard. One day my cousin armed himself with a knife and a big medicine bottle with a poison label. He went to the orchard, where, in full view of some of the. suspected pilferers, he made small incisions in a number of the most tempting apples and poured a few drops from the bot- tle into each incision. Some of the boys asked him what he was doing. He responded that whoever ate those apples wouldn't care for apples there- after. Thenceforth the apples remain- ed undisturbed. The bulk of his wealth came to him through a lucky chance while he was private secretary to a certain high functionary. A rich banker applied to the official for a concession, backing his applica- tion with arguments of the most weighty and convincing character. But the law, unfortunately, stipulat- ed that the holder of the concession must be a Hungarian, which the bank- er was not. "It can be arranged," said the dis- penser of patronage. "You have a daughter, I believe?" "Yes-" "Well, all you have to do is to marry her to a Hungarian as soon as possi- ble. Then you can take the concession lu her name—that is, in her husband's." At that moment my cousin entered. "Here is the man for you," said his chief. "My secretary is a Hungarian of ood family and amenable to reason. Teleky, allow me to present you to your future father-in-law." The banker looked at the handsome young Hungarian, and the bargain was struck, the lady interposing no objec- tion. We never profited one stiver by my cousin's greatness. In late years in- deed he had shown the greatest ani- mosity toward the whole family. Some of the affiliated branches who were poorer and prouder than the Telekys themselves murmured loudly, and it was their complaints, the Telekys in- sisted, that had hardened the great Ulan's heart. On the other hand, these relatives insisted that it was all our fault, and so a family dissension was added to our other mortifications. But in Hungary everything can be converted into cash—even expectations. We had no legal claim on our cousin's estate, but we found plenty of usurers willing to take long chances. This was carried on to such an ex- tent that the wit of the family said he hoped "the old man" would never die, as things were going on most com- fortably as they were, and when the crash should come it would take the assets of a Rothschild to meet the out- standing liabilities. The old man did die, however, while I was still at the university. He was 111 for a long time, and the newspapers were full of reports regarding him. • They said among other things. that the bulk of his immense fortune would go to the Budapest almshouse, bub that every relative who should appear at the funeral would receive a respecta- ble bequest. And, as a matter of fact, on the day after the old man's death I received a formal invitation to the funeral from his confidential factotum, alio added a hint that my future finan- cial welfare would depend largely up- lqy prosente or absence. Of course I went. It was my first s'asit to the capital, but I bad no diffi- culty in finding my late cousin's town residence, which was In a large apart- ment house. A hearse and carriage stood before the door when I arrived, and a great crowd of idlers had collected to see what they could of the distinguished man's funeral. I saw none of my rela- tives among the few people who were entering, and I blamed myself for be- ing the last to arrive. Just then two ladies entered. They were richly dressed, but entirely' in. black, and they held handkerchiefs to, their eyes, from which tears were streaming. I followed them to an apartment on the second floor, where we found a goodly company of ladies and gentlemen, many of whom seemed as deeply affected as the two ladies who bad just arrived. There could be no doubt of the genu- ineness of their grief. Their eyes were red and swollen, as if from pro- longed weeping, and their handker- chiefs were used constantly. Still I saw none of my numerous rel- atives. Evidently they were all in the inner room, where the funeral no doubt was already in progress, while I was cooling my heels with the ,out- siders in the anteroom. A sad faced domestic, clad wholly in black, stood at the door leading to the inner room. I approached him and en- deavored to explain my connection with the dead man, but he cut me short at the first word. "Not yet," he said. "It is not yet time. You must wait." I waited. After a time one of my companions rose and approached the inner door, which was opened obse- quiously by the flunky. In a little while another did the same. When three or four thus bad passed behind the mysterious door, I made the at- tempt myself, but was waved back imperiously by the sad faced servant. I continued to wait, repeating the at- tempt at intervals without success. After I had waited some hours I dis- covered that each person before he left his seat received an almost impercepti- ble sign of invitation from the servant. I waited until nightfall, but no such invitation came to me. Then my wrath rose, and I went to the door again. "It is not yet your turn, sir," said the man of mystery. Turn! What sort of funeral was my distinguished cousin having, I won- dered. "See here, my man," I said, "do you know who I am?" "I do not, sir, but it can make no"— "I am Franz Teleky, your deceased master's cousin!" I thundered. The man's face relaxed into a grin. "Deceased master?" be said. "Tel- eky? Ho, ho! Ha, ha! The Teleky funeral, my dear sir, was on the floor below. It has been over for hours now. This is the oculist's office!" I went back to the university, curs- ing myself for a fool and bitterly envy- ing my fortunate relatives—to say nothing of the almshouse. The next day's papers had a full ac- count of the funeral and the reading of the will. "Franz Teleky, a cousin of the deceased; they said, "was the on- ly relative absent." The will was found to *agree with the forecast of its contents, which had been printed and which had been given to the papers (I learned afterward) by the old man's order. About a quarter of the estate was divided equally among the relatives who attended the funeral, and the remainder went to the almshouse. But then the lawyer read a codicil of recent date and in the handwriting of the deceased man. It ran as fol- lows: "As I \am well acquainted with the geasping character of my relatives 1 feel certliin that not one of them will fail to attend my funeral if he thinks he can make anything thereby. Never- theless it is my whim to order that if any one of said relatives shall absent himself from said funeral said rela- tive, in consideration of the independ- ence of character manifested in such action, shall become my residuary legatee instead of the almshouse, and he is hereby constituted such residuary legatee, and my executors are hereby directed to give, make over and deliver unto him, the said residuary legatee, all the rest, remainder and residue of my propertfi that may be left after the sums bequeathed to my relatives pres- ent at said funeral shall- have been paid."—Translated From the Hunga- rian For the New York Press. The Reporter. The average reporter asks, "What do people want?" The great reporter asks, "What shall I make them want?" The public flatters the average report- er with prompt success. "Yon .give us," it says, "what we want." To the great reporter it says in its slowly awakened but innumerably decisive way: "What will this man Kipling want next? Then we want it." The average reporter, eternally gad- ding about for availability instead of cultivating ability, cares more about succeeding as a writer than he does about the •thing he writes about. That is why he is an average reporter.

Afraid to $id. At an auction sale of miscellaneous goods at a country store the auctioneer put up a buggy robe of fairly geied quality. An old farmer inspected it closely, seemed to think there was a bargain in it, and yet he hesitated to bid. - "Think it cheap?" asked the auction- eer, crying a 10 cent bid "Yee, kinder," was the reply. "Then why dtiil't you bid and get it?" "Waal, I've bought heaps o' things in dry goods and so on," slowly rejoined the old man, "and I never yet took home anythirig that the old woman thought was worth the price. If I get that 'ere robe for even 15 cents, she'd grab it up, pull a t one end, chew on a corner and call out: 'Cheated again! 'Worsen half cotton!'

New York's fire chief, Edward Cro- ker, nephew of the Tammany boss, has invented the latest device, a "light engine," The new engine will not be used directly to help put out fires, says a correspondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean. Nor will it be used at all in the daytim.. But in the nighttime it will be invaluable to the firemen. It will have a high pressure boiler and a high speed engine, like all other fire engines, but in place of a pump and pipes it will have a big electric dyna- mo and a powerful searchlight. This searchlight will be different from all others. Instead of throwing a great beam a long distance it will radiate illumination over a wide area. The ordinary searchlight has a lens made of bars of glass running straight up and down. This concentrates the full strength of the light in a solid beam that carries anywhere from 500 feet to five miles. In the light design- ed by Chief Croker the glass bars are placed horizontally in the lens frame. FIREMAN'S HELMET. This spreads the light, as shot is spread out of a choke bore gun. It doesn't carry nearly so far, but covers much more space on the target. The introduction of the "light en- gine" will mean the elimination of one of the greatest sources of danger for the fire fighters., Nothing is so produc- tive of accidents at night fires as the darkness. In the daytime and in Light places men are seldom caught in a trap, even when a "smothered fire" has eaten away the props of floor or roof. If he can only see, the fireman's practiced eye can generally discern pre- liminary -indications of danger when the support on which he is standing or the particular place that he is ap- proaching has been undermined. But at night he can discern nothing of these indications and ntust blindly take chances, trusting to luck and agili- ty for his escape when the trap mani- fests itself by the trembling that al- ways precedes the caving in of a roof or floor. Even if he notices the trembling in time or if a burst of flame shooting out of the smudge reveals it to him he fre- quently finds himself unable to escape, because in the darkness and smoke he does not know which way to turn for safety. Often even after the door or roof has sunk under his feet the fire- man might still save himself if he could only see. Somewhere in most "caves" there Is a way out or a shelter, but at night the fireman, groping help- lessly in the dark, must rely entirely on his sense of touch to find either. The smoke helmet, though not so novel, Is an exceedingly useful con- trivance. it is an awkward looking affair, about two feet high and some- what over three feet in circumference. It Is carried in a polished hard wood case and is guarded and te>3ied as carefully as a watch, for the firemen are very much attached to it. It Is. made of leather. It covers the head completely, and its base rests on the shoulders, where it is held firmly in position by means of straps that run under the armpit. It is, intended to be worn in places so filled with smoke that an unprotected man could not ex- ist therein at all. Although the life saving cage recent- ly adopted by the New York fire de- partment has not yet been put to a practical test, the firemen expect great things from it. It looks not unlike a toboggan. The cage is about six feet long and two and a half wide, with wire sides and a curved bottom, made of heavy metal It is made to run along a stronladder, elevated by means of a win s and working on a revolving platform fastened at the front end of the hook and ladder truck that carries it. It is attached to a stoutwire cable which passes over a pulley at the top of the ladder and is under the control of a fireman whose station is on the truck. After the lad- der has been raised it is swung around against the front of the building, and then the "cage" is ready for business. Sows' 3111k For Estiiier. A oovei,, petition has just been sub- mitted to the French chamber of dep- uties by a woman resident in the Fin- lstere department. She proposes that steps be taken to test the quality of sows' milk as a form of nourishment for babies.

With the advent of so many Chinese restaurants in different parts of the city it is confidently declared that "chop suey". and other well known Chi- nese delicacies are consumed more by Americans than by Chinamen. A Har- lem arlem Chinaman who had been down to Mott street for a social time was on a Third avenue 'Z" car and got into conversation with a neighbor. "I suppose you like chop Bucy, eh, John?" asked the casual acquaintance. "No," was the other's answer, with a positive shake of the head. "Me no likee chop alley. Me eat spareribs and sauerkraut." And in further conversation it was revealed that this Chinaman, like maliy of his fellow countrymen in New York, who had, like himself, been here 14 Jeers or so, hardly tasted traditional Chinese dishes.

GRAND GULF CAVERN A GREAT CAVE THAT IS IN SOUTH- WESTERN MISSOURI. Its eteriou■ Depths Were First Explored by Two Men of More Than Ordinary t'•.vrage—The glory of Their Perilous Journey. Southwest Missouri is full of strange earth formations that are called "uat- ural", curiosities iu spite of their un- naturalness. The earth is full of caves and siuk holes. One of the most cele- brated of these is the Grand Gulf, in Oregon county, about four miles from Koshkonoug. It is a sort of canyon, in shape not unlike a horseshoe and serves the i,-.rpose of a drainage bed in the wet season -for a 12 mile area of hills. The canyon.ts 220 feet deep, with a natural bridge in one place and a subterranean lake and river that opens at one end. The river only exists dur- ing the wet season, for the earth at the bottom of the canyon Is porous and absorbs the water. The lake, how- ever, Is full the whole year round. This cave, containing the subter- ranean river and lake, had never been explored to the end till the summer of 1885, when Pat Foley,. a saloon keeper from Thayer. with a companion per- formed the exploit. Foley had made two trips before into the cave, but had not been able to secure a companion courageous enough to persevere in the enterprise. Each man had weakened and returned before the end of the cave was reached. On the third trip, however, Foley had with him a man of courage. The entrance to the cave is wide and deep. The bed is of broken stones, over which trickles a tiny stream of water in the dry season. A hundred feet in- side the cave the entrance suddenly narrows into a hole so small that a man must get on hands and knees to pass through. Beyond this narrow hole the entrance widens into a large grotto. There is a steep hill to climb; next the hill descends sharply into a lake. To penetrate to the end of this lake it was necessary to have a boat so small that it could be dragged through the narrow passage into the grotto. Foley and his companion built a boat of suitable size and hauled it through the narrow entrance. They took with them also a long coil of rope, a quanti- ty of matches, some railroad lanterns and four torches with cotton wadding on the ends soaked in kerosene. The cave of course is perfectly dark. The men used their lanterns till they got through the narrow place, but to their amazement the lantern flames inside the grotto slowly grew dim and finally went out. They tried to light them again, but the sulphur of the matches would flare up only to be extinguished immediately. The reason of this was that the atmosphere was exceedingly damp and heavy. The men succeeded in lighting the four kerosene torches, and grasping one of them in each hand they made their way down the slope to the lake and stood the torches up between th rocks. The torches smoldered like hot coals, giving out very little flame. The boat was dragged down to the lake, the torches fastened at the prow and stern,. one end of the rope tied to a bowider and the rest of the coil thrown in the boat. When the two men sat down in the frail craft they found the water rose to within three inches of the gun- wales. It was impossible to use oars without tipping the boat far enough to• sink it, 'so the men were forced to pad- dle cautiously with their hands. They forced the little craft into the unknown lake, the smoldering torches lighting up the blackness for only a few feet around them. Outside It was a warm summer day, they knew, but inside it was like a closed refrigerator, all blackness and dampness and cold. The water of the lake was ice cold, and at every few dips they had to stop and warm their hands. There was nothing to be seen on any side—noth- ing but darkness. No sound could penetrate the cavern. If the boat should capsize—as it was likely to do with the slightest disturbance -they would be cramped in a minute in the cold water without a -chance of help from the outside. After a long and tedious paddling the boat's .prow was suddenly buried in a bank of mud and gravel. Foley took a torch and stepped out cautiously in his rubber boots into the mud. He found he had come to the end of the lake and that a sharply inclined wall of rock rose before him. The saloon keeper climbed up the wall about 40 feet above the lake searching for a continuance of the cavern. - But he could find none. Apparently the cav- ern ended there. He returned to the boat, where his companion sat. The two men made their way across the lake and out through the narrow place in safety. They had been gone an hour, and their friends outside had be- gun to fear an accident had happened to them. So far as people know, the cave in the Grand Gulf has no outlet. The Indian traditions about the cave are that it was a subterranean waterway much used at one time by boatmen, who used to carry provisions in boats to the Arkansas valley. If this be true, the river must have been stopped up many years ago by some convulsion of na- ture and the lake formed then.—Kan- sas City Star. Her Way of Getting It.

HOT SLASH. HAsT1N GS GAZETTE. A Delicacy That Is Prised DT New Orleans Negroes. "Did you ever hear of an edible known as 'hot slash?' " asked a citizen who always keeps an eye open for life's little oddities. "No? Well, I'm not surprised. I discovered it myself only yesterday through a chance visit to the river front. It was about 11 o'clock in the morning, and I was loaf- ing around the far enol of the North- eastern fruit wharf waiting for a man,' when a strapping big negro rushed up and bawled out: 'Hot slash! Hot slash!' "I supposed he was addressing him- self to me, but before I could think' up twine graceful and appropriate bit of repartee at least a dozen other strap- ping darkies came tumbling out from behind a pile of barrels, where a crap game had evidently been in progress, and started on a dead run for a nearby alleyway. . "None of them had asked any ques- tions, and, needless to say, my curios- ity was highly excited, so I trailed along in the rear and at the other end of the alley found the whole crowd, with numerous additions, clustered about a small covered wagon from which a mulatto was selling smoking hot loaves of bread at a nickel apiece, As each loaf was called for he split It open and saturated the interior with molasses from a can 'in the vehicle. That was- hot slash. It seemed to be a local substitute for the merchants' lunch, which appears about the same hour in the retail district up town. "I asked one of the darkies whether It was good, and his reply, while word- less, was extremely eloquent. The lower half of his countenance was buried in a fresh section of hot slash at the moment, and nothing was visi- ble except his eyes, which be roiled upward until they resembled a couple of white celluloid pool balls. Then he closed them, very slowly, like a man in an ecstasy, and at the same time made a gurgling sound in his throat. After that pantomime I was strongly tempted to try a piece of hot slash myself."—New Orleans Times -Demo- crat. BLUE POINTS. Something About These Aristocrats of the Bivalve Family. A newborn oyster is a tiny fleck of creamy substance, not much larger than the point of a pin. Its advent in countless numbers from the middle of July to the middle of August is to the oysterman of Connecticut, where are located probably the largest seed oyster plants in the world, an event of the utmost interest. Long Island sound has some peculiarity of the water which renders it especially favorable for the raising of the choicest and most widely sought oysters. Not only are here lo- cated thousands of oyster plantations, but also immense natural oyster beds. And here and there only is raised the famous Blue Point oyster, the most delicately flavored of its kind and in de- mand the world over. The Great South bay, on the outside of Long Island, facing the ocean and extending a distance of 50 miles from the towns of South Bay and Speonk, is the headquarters of the entire produc- tion of the genuine Blue Point oysters. The name is derived from a point of land which juts out into the bay here, called Blue point. A combination of percentage of salt In the water, temperature, depth, con- dition of bottom, together with some indefinable quality possessed by the latter which is different from any other, gives to them their flavor, which has never yet been equaled by any of the various kinds of oysters raised in America, and the oyster industry is by far the most important fishing industry in the United States. The Blue Points are simply transplanted Norwalk and Bridgeport seed oysters, which are tak- en from oyster beds and put into the Blue Point beds in Great South bay, where they attain maturity under the most exalted and potent conditions, which graduate them oyster aristocrats, with reputations ready made, possess- ing the highest oyster valuation and sought for as "Divine Pointq" in every civilized land: Hartford Times. Effective Remedy. A good story is told of one of the chiefs of the civil service department who had two afflictions—an obliging and easy doorkeeper and a pertina- cious office seeker, who was a distant relative of the chief. Scarcely a week passed but the latter called, and the former was much too polite to shut him out. The chief at last, after one of the usual interviews, resolved to stand the nuisance no longer, so, summoning the doorkeeper when the visitor had de- parted, he said, "X., do you know what that man comes after?" "No, sir," replied the functionary. "Well, then, I may as well tell you. He wants your place." The bore was admitted no more.— Tit-Bits. A Wonderful Escape. The greatest height from which any one has accidentally fallen without re- ceiving any injury beyond a shaking was nearly 1,000 feet by an East In- dian living in the island of Oghln, who fell over a cliff at that height. His fall was broken at the foot of the precipice by masses of dense vegetation, and he escaped with no more serious injury than a severe shaking. The authen- ticity of this fall was vouched for by the French writer, H. de Parville.

The French workman is the creature of the street for the sense of the joy of life and the creature of the home and the workshop for the sense of the 'hardship and sometimes of the sorrow. Fashioned as he is in this way, two outside forces contend for the posses- sion of him. ' The question of ques- tions is, "Will he take his gni . + ce from the recognized agencies wi in the la.w or from the agencies of re - vol."?" The state and also, as we have seen, the church offer him all sorts of bribes and bonuses to consent to work In their way. They recognize his trade and self help societies. They try' to get him to the altar as a devotee and to the urn as a voter. But he has. heard of Utopias, and he longs to have one more struggle for absolute perfec- tion at short notice, though he may have to lay down bis life in the at- tempt. The key to modern French history is to be found here. Every political movement has to be a compromise be- tween the aspirations of the faubourg and the world as it wags. The French workman has been bred in the belief in revolution as a recognized agency of progress and by instinct and habit he loathes second best. The old order offers him the churches, the thrift and benefit societies, co-operation, insur- ance against accidents, education, tech- nical and other—the old political econ- omy, in a word, and the paternal state. The new whispers socialism, the com- mune, anarchy sometimes and with these the barricade—Richard Whiteing in Century. Misunderstood Patriotism. Professor Alfred B. Adams of New York was a soldier in the civil war and took part in the Red river campaign under Major General Nathaniel T. Banks. "At one place." he said recently to one of his classes, "we surprised a southern garrison and took many pris- oners. They were guarding a moun- tain of cotton bales which were in- tended for shipment to Europe on ac- count of the southern government. General Banks promptly confiscated the cotton and transferred it to his flo- tilla. Each bale was stenciled 'C. S. A.,' and over this the northern soldiers with marking brushes wrote in huge characters 'U. S. A.' I was on guard at the time, and one of my prisoners, a handsome, bright eyed young southern officer, said, 'Yank, what's that writing there?' "I looked proudly at him as I replied: 'The United States of America over the Confederate States of America. Can't you read—U. S. A. over C. S. A.?' "He looked at me quizzically. " `Thank you,' he said. `Do you know, I thought it was United States of American Cotton Stealing Association.' "The next question he put to me 1 didn't answer."— Saturday Evening g Post.

Now the public square rZ Nessau its,quite_as large as that of most cities of the size. but there is only one tree in it, and that tree literally fills the square and spreads its shade over all the pisb4ie buildings In the neighborhood. For it is the largest tree in the world at its base, although it is hardly taller than a three story house- It is variously known as a ceiba or a silk cotton tree, but the people of the low islands of the West Indies call it the hurricane tree; for no matter how hard the wind blows it cannot disturb the mighty. buttressed trunk of the ceiba. Its trunk throws out great curving, wandlike braces, some of then: 20 feet wide and nearly as high. These extend into the ground on all sides and brace the tree against all attack, while the great branches spread a thick shade overhead. In the tropic sunshine of midsummer, hundreds, even thousands, of people may gather in the cool of its shadow. No one knows how old the great tree is, but it must have been growing hundreds, if not thousands, of years. A very old picture in the library at Nassau shows the tree as big as it is at present, and even the oldest negro in the island cannot remember when it was a bit smaller.—Washington Post. Toni Corwin's Ready Wit. Governor John Brough was once matched against Corwin and in his speech said: "Gentlemen, my honored opponent himself, while he preaches advocacy of home industry, has a carriage at home which he got in England; bad it shipped across the water to him. How is that for supporting home industry and labor?" When Corwin came to the stand, he , made a great show of embarrassment. He stammered and began slowly: "Well, gentlemen, you have heard what my friend Mr. Brough has to say about my carriage. I plead guilty to the charge, and I have only two things to say in my defense. The first is that the carriage came to me from an Eng - lista ancestor as an heirloom, and I bad to take it. Again, I have not used it for seven years, and it has been stand- ing in my back yard all that time, and the chickens have converted it into a roost. Now, gentlemen," with a steady look at Brough, "I have nothing fur- ther to say In my defense, but I would like to know bow Brough knows any- thing about my carriage if he has not been visiting my henroost!" — Cleve- land Plain Dealer. A Mile a Minute Down the Alps. The spot in the Swiss Alps that at- tracts the winter sportsmen of Europe 1s the Cresta run, at St. Moritz, which is just one mile in length. The tobog- ganing season here begins about the middle of November, when the first snow falls. The condition of the run is not left to chance, but the slide is prepared' under the direction of a com- mittee. Swiss toboggans in contrast to the Canadian ones, made entirely of wood, are raised on runners shod with 'iron or steel. The expert rider lies prone upon the toboggan, head fore- most, both hands grasping the frame- work at the sides and both feet em- ployed in steering. Iron spikes are se- cured to the toes of the boots, and by trailing one or the other foot along the ground the big sled may be guided. But as this fashion of steering tends to diminish the speed the most skilled riders use the feet as little as possible and depend upon shifting the position. Though the Cresta run is a mile in length, the whole distance may be cov- ered in 70 seconds. At the steepest point a mile a minute is made. Novel Institution. The Medical institute of, St. Peters- burg is about to build a unique lab- oratory for the treatment of pest pa- tients and the manufacture of pest serum. This laboratory is being built in Cronstadt and is entirely surround- ed by water, so that it can be isolated at a moment's notice. It is to contain a stable with 12 horses, drug stores, dwellings for helpers and nurses and a lazaret in case the staff is affected by the -sickness. Communication will be effected with Cronstadt by steam laun('h. It will be equipped with steam engines and electric and motor appli- ances and all the latest inventions and improvements. The Dangerous End. An Ass once enveloped Himself in a Lion's Skin, hoping that he would thereby Escape Annoyance from the Rest of the Brute Creation. But seeing a Tiger approaching, and fearing his inability to look as fierce as his Assumed Character required, he at once turned his back toward the Tiger and remained Motionless. "Ah!" said the Tiger to himself, "for once mine ancient Enemy, the Lion, has relaxed his usual Vigilance. I'll steal upon him from Behind, and there'll be a Funeral in the morning." But his Vicious Spring was met by the Heels of the Ass, and 10! the Tiger had Predicted his own Funeral.

Two cowboys and several sticks of dynamite very suddenly and unex- pectedly discovered the Hualipi mines near Kingman, A. T. The cowboys were on their way across the territory, and they had with them several sticks of dynamite, to be used when they reached the Colorado river. One day they camped some seven miles north of where Kingman now is. They left the dynamite among some bowlders at a distance from the camp for safe keep- ing. The day was unusually hot, and in some unaccountable way the dyna- mite went off. The cowboys hurried to the place of explosion, and even their inexperienced eyes saw that the dyna- mite had blown a gold mine into their pockets. As high as $25,000 a month has been taken out of this mine.—Phil- adelphia Times. THE THINNEST OF MEN. Claude Seurat Might Have Been Mis- taken For a Skeleton. Instances of remarkably thin men are not uncommon, but Claude Am- broise Seurat, who was exhibited in 1825, was such an extraordinary per- sonage that no fewer than 10,000 per- sons visited him In a few weeks. Seu- rat was born in 1797 and was there- fore 28 years of age when he made his appearance. Astley Cooper, the famous physician, was among the throng who poured into the building in which Seurat re- ceived those who were anxious to see him, and in writing of him he said: "Seurat is without doubt the most mysterious being I have encountered. His face is that of an ordinary man, somewhat emaciated perhaps. but not remarkably so. His eyes are bright and his voice is pleasing. Seen in the ordinary costume of the day, be to no way differs from the average foreigner, but stripped of his padded clothing he presents an astounding spectacle. "His arms are mere bones, covered by parchmentlike skin and muscle, and flesh he appears to have none. He is therefore scarcely able to move his arms and legs, and walks, though without apparent effort, with extreme difficulty. On measuring him and weighing him I found that his chest measurement was 30% inches, which is fair; that his weight was not more than 45 pounds, the bones being much smaller than those of an ordinary mau of his stature, who might weigh 150 pounds. In appearance, indeed, he so much resembled a skeleton that a shortsighted person might easily mis- take him for one." Seurat's food consisted of two or three ounces of bread and meat daily, and sometimes -he took a little wine. He was remarkably intelligent and well read and picked up English rapid- ly. On arriving at places where he was not known he was accustomed to walk out in his padded clothes and did not attract any particular atten- tion. He said that until the age of 10 years he resembled any ordinary boy, but that be suddenly wasted away. He died in 1849, aged 52 years.—Chica- go News.

NEWS TRAVELS FAST. The Mysterious Way In Which it Spreads Through an Audience. "You cannot keep news, especially war news, out of any public building. be it theater, concert room or lecture hall. no matter how deeply engrossing the entertainment may be, and from one man, who perhaps knows only one soul In the place, coming in with the news of a statesman's death, of a great victory, or what not, the whole audi- ence of a couple of thousand people will know the news in five minutes." T4e gentleman who thus spoke is one of the most experienced theatrical man- agers in the world, and he went on: "I could give you some most striking in- stances from my own experience of what I say. I have seen a big audience convulsed with laughter at 9 o'clock, say, but through a bare whisper of a great outside calamity that circulated through the house with almost the ra- pidity of telegraphy, that same audi- ence has been restless, universally grave of face and absolutely inatten- tive to the very culminating point of fun on the stage. And the singular thing is that actors who have never left the stage have, through the me- dium of whispers among the band or from the stalls, known all that the original messenger of evil had to tell. "The late Rev. C. H. Spurgeon once told me that he bad known this, same thing precisely to occur during the course of a religious service, and when a vast congregation were on their knees. He gave me the time and place and explained how, from the whisper f a doorkeeper, a kneeling concourse of thousands knew the whole story of a national crisis in an incredibly short time."—London Tit -Bits. qtry: sa. !I PWit . l 81 per Year in Advance. 82 per Year it not in Advance. Thinks They Need Editing. The blue pencil apparently did not exist in olden times. We have read ten pages of Marcus Aurelius at a stretch without understanding a word of it. Epictetus is equally hard to read. Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus are philosophers without doubt, but they have a style that gives you a. headache. Both need editing. The man with the blue pencil should get after Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus. Emerson's books also clamor for the blue pencil.

This cold, hard world has few souls as sensitive as a young mau who killed himself in Paris the other day. His home was in Lyons, and his father bad given to him 30,000 francs, or $6,- 000, to establish a branch office of their business in Paris. After he had been in Paris for several days his letters home ceased, and he disappeared from the little circle of friends that he had made. He had seemed a quiet, steady fellow, and he had chosen his new as- sociates with discretion. When they missed him, they wrote to his father, supposing that he knew where his son was. The father, however, was igno- rant of the young man's whereabouts, and the police were summoned and a seamh made -of his apartments. On the bed in his room was found his dead body, with a note by his side, which said: - "I have lost 23,000 francs of the sum that my father intrusted to me, and as I would not have it believed that 1 have squandered the money I am kill- ing myself." This furnished a clew, but nothing more could be learned for several days. Finally, when searching the rooms for the young man's proper- ty, his pocketbook, with the 25,000 francs, was found in a corner of the bureau drawer, where he had pat it and then forgotten.

There is more catarrn in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the Last few years was supposed to be in- curable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure manufactured y F. J.

If / may see the arching sky, With fleecy cloud wrack floating by, A tree with green, uplifted heed, And clover in its shadow spread. Or see a river'i stately flight. Its ripples dancing in the light, Though keen my sorrow, deep my woe. Yet happiness my heart must know. Or if to sightless eyes no ray Should enter from the brightest day, If I might smell a violet. My darkened way I should forget And in my fancy see once more The woodland aisles, with boughs stretched o'er, And gathered thickly round my feet The bending wild flowers, fair and sweet. Or if my hand might hold a rose The garden gates would swift unclose, And rank on rank there'd bloom for me Far fairer flowers than now I see. The ocean waves would sing for me Their mournful vigrant symphony; And when In organ tones arise Storni voices grandly to the skies, My puny woe, ashamed to stay, With them would quickly pass away. And in the deep succeeding calm My soul would join in nature's psalm. -Ninette M.

Back and fort across the room a tall, straight figu moved, full of that supple grace of th southern woman. "Zoritsa, have you heard what d cision has been mailer "Nu, mother," answered the gir "Captain Newcombe told me tcxla that they were all on the tiptoe of e pectation, but determined to tight out and win, no matter what happens. "The captain is very gallant. If a the men were as brave as lie, ther would be no doubt about an America victory." "I am afraid your criticism is unjust mother. You are letting ten come un der the ban of your displeasure b cause you chance to know the merit of one. Captain Newcombe thinks al his men brave." "Well, we ueed not complain of Lieu tenant Hope's courage, for he certainl displayed perseverance, at least, befor lie won you, after many rebuffs." "Oh, yes, Lieutenant Hope is exceed ingly brave, if you call persistence in love affair 'bravery.' I wonder if in war a besieged army is ever worried into being captured. Really, I feel like a prisoner of war since" - "Hush, Zoritsa," clone softly from the corner. "You are hasty. It is no less than treachery to" - "Treachery!" iuterrupted the girl im petuously. "I think your definition and mine differ. But forgive me, dear,' suddenly softening and laying her flushed cheek against her mother's sof hair. "I am tired tonight. And, moth er, do not ask me why. I have craved my liberty as no one ever did before, and tonight I'm free, mother, free! Do you understand what that means to me, dear? I have broken my engage- ment with Lieutenant Hope." "It may be at the risk of your happi- ness, dear." "I have gladly taken that risk and -re- joice in my liberty. Ah, mother, Ube', ty! I wonder not that men's lives are lost for liberty." The widow Juaniquez and her daugh- ter were in the little cottage making bandages and otherwise busying them- selves with work for the army. "It is strange, mother, that Captain Newcombe did not come in as usual this evening." "Yes. He said yesterday be would come up as soon as his duties were performed. I do not understand his absence." Zoritsa glanced quickly at the still girlish figure bending over her work. Was that a flush softly creeping over the fair, youthful face? She caught her breath. Did her mother care? She had not thought of that. But, then, why not? Was not the "senorita" the belle of the village? And yet the thought had never come to her that it was still possible for a man like the captain to win her mother's love. Why, even the idea was absurd. Did she really care for Captain Newcombe? Surely his interest at least was no more than friendship. When he hears that she is not bound to Lieutenant Hope, will he not show her it is she whom be loves? Great excitement seemed to prevail in the village next morning. At every other door groups of people were stand- ing, the men angrily gesticulating, the wumen crying. In front of the cot- tage were two or three villagers talk- ing to "Irish," as he was familiarly known in camp. "Yis," he was saying, "thim sphal- peens up there," jerking his thumb toward the barracks, "were too busy enjoyin av thimsilves to be bothered wid the thrubles av a handful av poor divils. But ye'll niver be afther catch - in Captain Newcombe a-nappin, and )ez soon ez he heard the fuss he offered himsilf and his men to go and help thim. "Yis, we wint, but how many hev come back ag'in? The dirty sphalpeens made a ragged edge of our company -- the finest ye'll see anywheres-and the captain nimslif has been killed entoir- ty. Ah, 'twas a sorry day that brought Paddy Malone to this God forsaken counthry!" The two women within, so dear to each other and yet each seeming to stand in the way of each other's happi- ness, strained their ears to -listen. Al- most unconscious of the other's pres- ence, they both ran out at the man's words and stood there with drawn faces, deathlike in their awful pallor, ovhlie he repeated the news that made daaolate many a happy fireside and veiled with tears the light in loving eyes. The widow's lithe form swayot and se. he w. en ht ss ge y. he al re e- 1. x. it 11 e- 1 a trembled, and she would nave fallen had/not Zoritsa suddenly seemed to realize that her mother was there. With a quick catching of the breath and a dry, choking sob in her throat, she reached out her arm and caught ; her. Each .read with anguish the truth in the other's eyes, and in each heart was ' a momentary struggle for the victory. ! The painful quietness of despair seein. ed to envelop the young girl, and. with eyes heavy with unshed tears, she half blindly led her mother into the house. This, then, was why Zoritsa had claimed her freedom. 011, why had she not told Zoritsa before that the captain had already confessed his love for her? And it was only last night they were to have told her of their happiness. Today he Is dead -dead! Unable to control herself, she broke into passionate weeping. "Dearest," the girl said, drawing the golden head to her breast, "did you then love him so much?" "Love him? Better than life!" "There may be -there must be some dreadful mistake."- She did not know her mother had seen the love light iu her eyes and had rightly interpreted It. Though there was not a quiver of an eyelid, her heart was breaking. Al- ready her light had gone out. Her world was a world of darkness. Night came on. One by one the stars appeared. A solemn hush lay over all. Even the camp seemed deserted and naught save the occasional screech of a whibpoorwill broke the dread silence. Yearning for the sympathetic still- ness of the night and the companion- ship of the broad, calm sky, dotted with its myriads 44 stars, Zoritsa drew her shawl about her, and with a heavy heart went out into the darkness. What was that? Sounds of rejoic- ing? How they grated upon her DoW But what were they saying? Hush! "Captain - alive - prisoner - escap- . Could it be true? Her heart gave a great leap. Yes, there was a loud "Hurrah!" It was true! He was not killed after all, then, and perhaps not even wounded! Ah -but she was not to think of herself. Yet why should she give up the hope hidden in her heart so long and make the little mother un- happy? With a moan more heartrend- ing than sobs, she threw herself upon the ground. "God, God! Thou who didst teach us to love! Why didst thou give me this chalice, only to withdraw it as I stooped to drink?" In an agony of soul she wrestled with her own desires, her own love - and it seemed to her her very life -and conquered. Quiet, resigned and calm, she found her way home, softly unlatched the door and went in. The bright moonlight streamed in a silver bar through the long, low win- dow, and there in its brightness, with upraised face, almost transfigured with happiness, was the "senorita" clasped In the captain's arms. Without having been seen and sti- fling a sigh, the noble girl turned away. "And this is liberty? Aye, liberty to follow thee, 0 Christ, to be bound to thee with the chains of thy love -liber- ty to serve thee in serving others, to spend and to be spent in thy service!" On the field, in the hospitals and in the filthy prisons her presence seems to radiate a peace that the world can- not give. In her face can be traced the story of a battle fought and a victory won in the almost forgotten past, but her quiet services tell of the outpour- ing of a heart_of love to the sufferers sf the present. -Chicago Times -Herald. Rim Queer Way In Church. The most original character we meet In the "Memoirs of the Princess Mary" Is her father, Duke Adolphus of Cam- bridge. He was a strong churchman. but "his religion sometimes took rather an unconventional form." On one oc- casion, after the officiating clergyman had repeated the usual exhortation, "Let us pray," the duke was heard to reply, "By all means." During a very dry summer the vicar read the prayer for rain. At the close the duke joined fervently in the "Amen," adding, in exactly the same tone of voice, "But we shan't get it till the wind changes!" One Sunday, when the words, "Be- hold, the half of my goods I give to the poor," were read, he astonished his fellow worshipers by rejoining: "No. no. I can't do that. A half is too much for any man, but I have no objection o a tenth." Again, on hearing the text, "For we brought nothing into the world, neither may we carry anything out," he ejacu- lated, "True, true -too many calls upon us for that." Masterly Stratagem. Two gunners, one a young Irishman unaccustomed to handling a fowling piece, the other a sharpshooter, were in quest of ducks in the marshes just south of Marcus Hook. They had float- ed their decoys and were patiently awaiting the coming of the game when, on a sudden impulse, the dis- ciple of the shamrock put gun to shoul- der and fired both barrels into the midst of the floating flock of mimic ducks. In answer to an expostulation from his companion the offender re- plied: "It's yureself that hoz no sagacity at all. Faith, when the birds see what a bad shot I am they'll think you're no better, and it's a boatload ov ducks we'll be afther takin home, d'y moind?" -Philadelphia Inquirer.

Beerwald says that when the body is fatigued or the brain has been overtaxed by excessive men- tal work it is very wrong to take a cold bath. Such a bath excites, he says, and if we add this to the already excited state of the body the result seems rejuvenating for the moment, but very soon the tension becomes too great, and the body cannot be forced to do more work. According to the professor, a warm bath is the only kind to be applied when one wishes to recover from fatigue, and the longer a tired body remains in a bath of, say, 70 degrees the quieter become the strained nerves and the easier follows the sought for rest. ; In the morning, after a good night's rest, a cold bath is very invigorating, but at no time during the day, if the nerves are strained, .should it be re- peated. Packing ror Movinir. "If you will only pack things in small boxes," says the woman who knows how to move, "you will have the men who move you in a compara- tively beatific state of mind; books, for instance. It is strange, but every woman who has books to move imme- diately gets the biggest box she can find for them. Books are heavy any- way, and big boxes are liable to break with their weight, and it is almost im- possible to move them. They will fit just as well into small, square boxes in which packages of starch or oat- meal have come, and they will pack into the moving van better, and the men can handle great numbers of them with little trouble." -New York Times.

ASZ�1NGS HASTINGS, MINN., SATURDAY. MARCH 24 1900. The Absolutely Pure BAKING POWDER Made from pure, grape cream of tartar. Cream of tartar is refined and powdered acid of grapes, the most healthful and pleasant of all fruit acids. Professor Prescott, University of Michigan, says: "I believe that the acid salts of fruits are the most wholesome and important constituents of the food of man. Not all natural substances are wholesome articles of food, but cream of tartar has a high rank as such." This expensive fruit acid is employed in making Royal Baking Powder because of its absolute wholesomeness, and because of its value as a food substance. Alum would cost but one-tenth as much. vj Alum, however, is apoison, which cannot be used in food without endangering afe. All cheap baking powders contain it. Think of feeding it daily, as the makers of the cheap, alum powders would, to delicate women and children ! ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM ST.,NEW YORK.

"Dr. Cureatll" One of the most remarkable develop- ments of the automatic machine is a "Dr. Cureall" in Holland. It is a wood- en figure of a man, with compartments all over it labeled with the names of various ailments. If you have a pain, find its eorrespondIag location on the figure, drop a cola into the slot, and the proper pill or powder will come out. Good Effects of Singing. Many medical -men are now recom mending their patients to study sing- ing, which Is a most salutary exercise, bothly virtue of its influence on the emotions, on the respiatory move- ments and on the development of the lungs, says the St. Louis Globe -Demo- crat. Nothing better shows the bene- ficial influence of singing in develop- ing the chest and warding off lung diseases than the freedom from pulmo- nary affections among professional singers. Moreover, their ggneral health is exceptionally good, ani this is prob- ably in „8 large measure attributable not only to their necessarily careful plan of living, but also t) the exercise of their calling. Some physicians main- tain that for defective chest develop- ment and in chronic heart trouble sing- ing is an unequaled exercise. The singer should be clad so as to allow ab- solute freedom of the chest move- ments. There should be no constric- tion of the neck or waist. The collar should be low and ample, and if cor- sets are worn they shgild be roomy and loose. One error into which sing- ers, and especially amatturs, fall is to practice too much. The ;ength of time to be given to the exercise depends much upon the character and condition of the voice. Evils of Night Study. "I abominate night parties for chil- dren," says a physician, "I believe ev- ery physician does. It is not so much the exposure and the eating in the night and the bad associations formed (of a high class sort possibly), but the breaking into the sleep habit Equally bad is it for children to study in the evening. It gorges theft brains with blood, and if they sleep they dream. I had a little patient of 12 years who 'was wasted and nervoss and whose dreams were filled with his problems. It was a marvel and a pride to his parents that the youngster worked out hard problems in his slop such as he tailed to master when Make. But he came near his final problem. I locked 'up his books at 4 o'clock. He must not touch one after his antler. He must play and romp and then o to bed. He is now robust. You ot emphasize too strongly the mischiel of children's might study." strength et Algae a tax.

How far down in the scale of being goes the powerof conscious movement which we are accustomed to associate with animal life alone? asks The Pall Mall Gazette. Arthur Smith, in some researches which he hal_ lately made into the brain power of plants, thinks he has found indications of it in, the vegetable world also. It Is well known that plants like the daisy, which shut at night, close also during an eclipse, which looks as if their movement was not periodical, but dependent on the will. And Arthur Smith gives us the story of a goose- berry bush which, when deprived of a sheltering garden wall, threw out a branch which made its way to a thick foliaged tree more than a yard off, al- though in doing so it had to climb over a barrier of bricks. It is also to be noted that chloroform and other amesthetics have precisely the same effect upon carnivorous and other sensitive plants apparently en- dowed with the power of voluntary movement that they have upon the ani- mal organization. If, therefore, the lettuce does not remove itself from the clutch of the gardener who 1s going to cut it, it may be argued that it is mere- ly because it cannot move quickly enough. But does not something of the same sort occur in the mineral world also? Lord Kelvin has shown that metallic wires which have lost their elasticity from continuous strain will regain it if left two or three weeks in a state of repose. And what is the mysterious force which compels certain solutions to pass from the liquid to the crystal- line state which presents so many anal- ogies with that of vegetable life? Thus there may be reason for thinking that life in some shape or another extends through the whole of nature and that even inorganic bodies may prove to be, as August Comte, following therein the Neoplatonists, thought possible, "sus ceptible of will and feeling." Eleetroid Gas. The township of Hunmanby, a vil- lage between Scarborough and Brid- lington, in England, will in future be lighted with 'electrofd gas. Electrold gas is acetylene, with '!he admixture of inert matter and a proportion of ox- ygen. Its manufacture is simple, and the gas can be delivered through any ordinary gas main pipes at the ordi- nary pressure. It can be measured by means of gas meters and charged for to the same way as is the custom where ordinary coal gas is used. It is a light of great purity and brilliancy. - Scottish American.

The United States coast and geodetic survey office, says the San Francisco Chronicle, has erected a pier on the southern extremi- ty of Alcatraz island for the gauge. It is in a position where it can be read along the entire water front from Fort Point to Hunter's Point. . The indicator Is a large semicircular dial painted white and faces the lower TIDE RECORDER, bay. The inner edge of the dial is divided into spaces by heavy black lines representing feet and half feet. The longer of these division lines are numbered by figures in black. A point- er operated by the rise and fall of the tide sweeps along the inner edge of the dial and indicates the number of feet of water above or below the plane of mean low water to which soundings on the government charts are reduced. The minus sign, shown near the left edge of the indicator, indicates the number of feet below the plane of ref- erence. An arrowhead placed in the center of the disk is made to point up while the tide is rising and down while it is falling. A glance at the indicator will enn,le the navigator to tell the height of the tide, whether above or below mean low water and whether It be ris- ing or falling. The ebb and flood currents in the vi- cinity continue to flow for quite a peri- od after the water nes begun to rise or fall. The arrowhead indicates wheth- er the water is actually rising or fall- ing, regardless of the direction in which the current may be running at the time. The tide tables, published annually, give the times and heights of the tides for each day, but these may be great- ly modified by meteorological disturb- ances that cannot be foreseen and can- not enter as elements in the calculation of the tables. The predictions taken from the tide tables niay not, there- fore, represent the actual condition of the tides. The tidal indicator, how- ever, shows the actual state of the tide at all times. Do We Grow Old While Asleep? It is not while we work and worry over the affairs of life that we grow old. It is while we sleep, according to Flynn, the celebrated English physiolo- gist. Mr. Flynn leads up to this conclu- sion through his advocacy of the mid- night dinner plan. "No midday luncheon for brain workers," said Mr. Flynn. "It impairs the mental powers and interrupts the train of thought." Then Mr. Flynn proceeds to advocate a before going to bed meal. "It is necessary to repair the waste that goes on at night," he said. "The waste of a long night of fast is beyond calcula- tion. The stomach should be well fill- ed with nourishing food to counteract the loss. This is especially true of anaemic persons." Mr. Flynn points out the fact that most persons look pale and fagged when they rise in the morning. "I have heard dozens of friends say they look fivey ears olderon ?lainS than when retiring, and it is true. If you would not grow old while you sleep, be sure you are well nourished before retiring. The body ages faster from hunger than from time," Remains of an Ancient People. The archaeological remains are found in the light and sandy valleys and hillsides. The wind is continually shifting this dry sand from place to place. For this reason no definite age can be assigned to the specimens se- cured. It is certain, judging from the complete absence of European objects at many of the localities explored, that the remains found at these places an- tedate contact with the whites. . A number of them must carry us back several hundred years. The modern Indians make small arrow points and disclaim the large kind found in exca- vations. The work undoubtedly proves that these ancient people and those now inhabiting this region were prac- tically the same. -Science. Sagacity of Dogs. In Gentleman's Magazine for Decem- ber on the sheep, sheep dogs and shep- herds of the fells of Westmorland, Mr. Palmer states his belief that in the dense mists whieb are so frequent on these mountains the dogs itnow their position by the sense of hearing, for their perfect acquaintance with near objects, the trifling details of ground surface, which, for the most part, es- cape the eye of man, combined with their power of scent, are sufficient for them to locate themselves.

A company of Hamburg, Germany, has just begun to manufacture what it calls hartgumml nagel (hard rubber nails), made of a variety of this sub- stance named by the makers "fer- runite," says The Literary Digest. These are comparable In solidity to metal nails and have the advantage that taey can be used in circumstances where metal would be inconvenient or would necessitate numerous precau- tions. They are not attacked by acids or by alkalis, do not conduct elec- tricity and resist ail magnetic influ- ence. In the electric Industries they are adapted for the assemblage of cases containing storage batteries, for example, and for their exterior cover- ings, for chemical apparatus, galvanic piles, etc. The insulating coverings are less exposed to deterioration, and short circuiting Is completely avoided. Finally the fact that these "hard rub- ber nails" are bad conductors of elec- tricity and that they are insensible to magnetic attraction makes them val- uable In the construction of delicate laboratory apparatus, measuring in- struments, electric switchboards, etc. No spark can result from contact be- tween these nails and a hammer or other tool, so that their use is special- ly recommended in the manufacture of explosives and in all places where these substances are handled. Visible Speech. Alexander Melville Bell explained his system of visible speech to the New York teachers of oratory and their friends In the assembly room of the Berkeley school the other night. "Any linguistic sound," he said, "can be written In the symbols of the scueme. All that visible speech wants to be- come popularized 1s age. It must come into general use after stabile." In writing the symbols of Mr. Bell's system vowels are represented by va- riations of the straight line, which typifies the voice. Consonants are de- pleted by variations of the curve, sym- bolizing the tongue. Sounds, not words, are recorded, so that men of a thou- sand years hence will be able to ascer- tain through this medium not only the grammar of a language, but also the intonation. The linguistic symbols are represented by figures on a chart. and these figures can be used in seuding telegraphic messages. In the alphabet that has been com- piled there are 36 vowels and 43 con- sonants. Learning the system is not merely practicable, but simple, Mr. Bell declares. The invention of the al- phabet was the result of many years of study on the part of philologists and scientists. International conventions were held to discuss the subject of a universal code of writing symbols, and thi• . •t one, that of 15:34, decided that it was impossible to find a distinctive sign for every sound of speech. Improved Medical Instrument. A Paris manufacturer has received much commendation lately in medical circles for the production of a new and ingeniously constructed cauterizing in- strument. While formerly such appa- ratus was bulky, a blowpipe or blow- ing bellows forming part of it, the new device is not larger than a fountain pen and built somewhat on its order. The scientific principle involved is the well known property of platinum to re- main incandescent after having been previously heated to glow heat, while a carburetted current of air is directed upon its surface, its incandescence ris- ing In proportion with the strength of the air current. To work it the foun- tain part is filled with ether and oper- ates like a syringe. When the point is heated, the head of the reservoir is also heated for a moment -the ether ex- pands and through a small opening is directed upon the platinum blade. The pressure of the jet can be gauged by the operator through pressure upon the button at the end of the rod going through the entire length of the reser- voir. Although operating at a pressure of three atmospheres, the instrument has been tested upon pressure of 150 atmospheres and more without damage to the tube. Quinine and Malaria. In an article by Dr. Monaco in the Attu del Lincel on the action of quinine on the parasite of malaria it is shown that certain strengths of the drug cause the expulsion of the parasites from the- red blood corpuscles when the parasites are in their second or adult stage. There seems to be still some doubt as to the exact dose of quinine which ought to be administer- ed to effect cure of spring Lever, and the amount seems to vary with the pe- culiarities of various patients. From these experiments, however, it would appear that the doses usually given are excessive and that a more rational dose would lie between half a gram and a gram of the bisulphate of quinine. Too strong solutions seem to cause paralysis of the parasites and to pre- vent ,r expulsion from the blood corp • indomilimammommiewlusamoise THE GAZETTE. IItVING TODD & SON.

Fred Driscoll, late of The St. Paul Pioneer Press, has been selected as labor commissioner by the American Newspaper Publishers' Association, with headquarters at Chicago. A. I. Shaver has removed the plant of The Carver Journal to Garden City. A new outfit has been secured by the business men, and the paper will be continued under the management of G. C. E. Goetze. Owing to informalities in the calls all candidates will have to go upon the official ballot by petition, with signers approximating ten per cent of the vote cast at the last general elec- tion. The time for qualification ex- pires to -day. The republicans have placed a good ticket in the field, which commends itself to the attention of every voter who tette the best interests of the city at heart. It should receive a hearty and united support at the polls Apr. 3d. E. 1'. Sartell, a St. Cloud feed dealer, ' committed suicide with a • revolver on Sunday, caused by busi- ness reverses. He was aged forty-six years, and leaves a wife and two daughters. F. 'M. Nye, of Minneapolis, is awarded a verdict of $500 against the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany for the transmission of a tele- gram reflecting upon his political in- tegrity. An Onlooker is reminded that anonymous communications receive no attention in any well regulated newspaper office. The name of the writer must at least be known to the editor. There is a project on foot in St. Paul to connect all the important towns within a radius of seventy miles toy electric trolley lines. The one this way would extend to Red Wing. A populist state convention is to be held in Minneapolis May 2d to send delegates to the national con- vention at Sioux Falls. Dakota County is entitled to six delegates. Mr. Tawnev, of the first district, has been appointed chairman of the special committee on the centennial celebration'of the Louisiana purchase at St. Louis in 1903. The attorney general decides that the law makes no provision for sec- ond grade state professional teachers' certificates, and that those already issued are consequently void. The city council of Stillwater has voted to make their bridge free for the ensuing year, a very sensible proposition. Capt. C. D. Sigsbee, of the ill fated Maine, will he the guest of the Com- mercial Club, St. Paul, the first week in April. The prohibitionists have named the Rev. B. B. Haugen, of Fergus Falls, as their candidate for- governor. J. P. Heatwole is looked upon by - the sugar trust and tobacco trust with great disfavor since he asserted his right to vote against their wishes on the Puerto Rico tariff measure. Not a word of criticism is heard among all his constituents, but every one ad- mires the man for his independence, wisdom, and statesmanship. He has always been in touch with the people of Minnesota, and he knew they would not favor the Puerto Rico bill and would stay by him when he voted his own honest convictions. But the trusts will be after him, although he should be returned to congress with- out opposition. If he must have op- position his majority will not be a vote less than ten thousand. -Cannon Falls Beacon. One of the best demonstrations of character and purpose displayed in congress this year was shown when Mr. Heatwole cast his vote against the Puerto Rican tariff bill. It re- quired some little determination on his part not to yield against all the pressure that was brought to bear on him, but he knew he was right and he voted as his constituency wished. He was popular in his district before, but he is even more so now, for his courage and manliness has made him many new friends. -Eden Valley Journal. The only objection to the nomina- tion of the Hon. C. F. Staples as can- didate for railroad commissioner is that he is needed in the legislature. -Cannon Falls Beacon. The Mardi Gras. For upwards of fifty years this well known carnival has been a distinctive feature of New Orleans, attracting large numbers of visitors, and pre- senting a spectacle unique in all its appointments and surroundings. That of 1900 was one of the most successful on record. Ou Monday, ijeb., 26th, King Rex and his attendants were met down river about noon by a fleet embracing nearly every available steamer afloat, and with royal salutes were landed at the foot of Canal Street amid the plaudits of the assembled multitude. The river parade was very fine. A procession was farmed of the various military organizations, escorting the king to the City Hall, where the keys of the city were formally presented with several brief speeches. We Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, was particularly prominent at this func- tion, his remarks being quite perti- nent to the occasion. In the evening came the parade of Proteus and his merry men, illustrating Tales of Childhood. There were twenty floats, each headed by a band, and brilliant- ly illuminated by scores of torch bearers. Among the familiar sub- jects were Old King Cole, Jack and the Bean Stalk, Three Wise Men of Gotham, and Alice in Wonderland. The cars were gorgeous in their equip- ments, and the costumes magnificent and expensive. Later came the Pro- teus ball at the French Opera IIouse. The Rex pageant on Tuesday was made up of eighteen floats, devoted, to Terpschorean subjects, from the butterfly dance to the stately minuet, the sunset dance of the mosquito to the bacchanalian orgies. Each scene was most truthfully portrayed, with fantastic settings that readily with- stood the glare of the midday sun. The parade of Comus followed in the evening with nineteen floats repre- senting Stories of the Golden Age, such as Helen, the World's Beauty, the Golden Apples of Hesperides, Jason and the Golden Fleece, Her- cules and the Amazon Queen, ete. It was like a peep into fairy land, and vociferously applauded by the thou- sands of spectators. The season closed with the Rex ball /at the Washington Armory and th9 Comus ball at the French Opera House. The editorial party received invita- tions to the former, and those who did not dance at least paid their re- spects to the king and queen in the throne room. The expense of these entertain- ments is considerable, each parade and ball costing upwards of $30,000, which is borneby the various carni- val societies, including nearly every man of any social position. The role. of King Rex is the great prize, it being currently said that the last in- cumbent contributed $10,000 for the privilege. All the preparations are made in secret, and already the artists have begun work for next year. Langdon Items. Mrs. James Daulton is on the sick list. Peter Nelson, of Hudson, has mov- ed into Curry.

The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Engler died on Monday. The funeral was held Wednesday. Considerable discontent is being made manifest by the friends of license on account of the result of the election. Quite a dumber of friends and rel- atives gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Foster Saturday even- ing to celebrate the twenty-fifth anni- versary of their marriage. Many very fine presents were brought. Thriving City of Hastings. The city of Hastings is one of most thriving of the river towns Minnesota below St. Paul. It most favorably located, being ou west bank of the Mississippi at junction with the Vermillion Ri and three miles above its juncti with St. Croix Lake. It is twen miles southeast of St. Paul, and is county seat of Dakota County, and organized into a city governin with a mayor and beard of alderm the present city officials being Fr Busch, mayor; N. B. Gergen, tre urer; -W. J. Yanz, .clerk; Alb Schaller, city attorney; and W. King,. postmaster. The populati is four thousand. Hastings has the advantage exceptionally good transportati facilities, furnished by three divisio of the Chicago, Milwaukee, & Paul Railway and also by the C cage, Burlington, & Quincy, which only separated from the town by t new high bridge across the Mississi pi. These shipping and receivi facilities are utilized in maintaini an extensive trade int flour, grai lumber, and the other products of t city's vario is factories. The city especially important as a prima grain shipping centre and as the chi shipping and receiving point for tl surrounding country, a fertile au prosperous region of the state. It has an extensive local busine in general mercantile lines and h special advantages for manufacturin operations, abundant water pow being provided by the Vermillio River, one mile south of -the cour house. Among its greater -busine enterprises are one flour mill (th Gardner Roller Mill), two brewerie (the Teutonia and another), a ma house, a foundry and machine sho one sawmill, two planing mills, on sash, door and blind factory, severa hotels, two banks, and a local tele phone company. The city possesses excellent relig ous, educational, and social advanta ges. It bas eleven churches-tw Baptist, one -Presbyterian, one Metho dist Episcopal, two Lutheran, tw Catholic, one Episeopalidn, and on African Methodist Episcopal. It ha an excellent system of graded school and its new high school building built in 1899, is one of the chie architectural features of the city, an one of the handsomest in the state There are also Catholic schools. Besides the high school and the courthouse, there are several fine business blocks and handsome private residences. Next month the state asylum for the insane will he ready for occupancy, with room for one hundred patients. The completion of the high wagon bridge across the Mississippi in April, 1895, added much to the advantages of the city, giving it greatly facilitat- ed intercourse with the counties of Washington and Pierce. The city had a fire last Christmas eve which destroyed several buildings in its business district and entailed a loss of 8120,000, but more substan- tial buildings are taking the place of the old ones. Hastings is a good place to live and do business in. A specially prominent enterprise 18 the Gardner Roller Mill, which con- stitutes one of the leading business enterprises of Hastings, establish- ed iu 1863 by Mr. Stephen Gardner, now deceased, and iu 1897 Mr. Sey- mour C:titer succeeded as proprietor. It aa as the first all roller mill in the United States, and its founder, Ste- phen Gardner, perfected a process for middlings which created a revolution in the milling processes which pre- vailt'(1 at that time. The plant covers several acres and includes a four stov( Mil I, a large grain elevator, flour warehouse, cooper shops, etc. The mill has a complete equipment o the latest improved flouring machin- ery, driven by steam and hydraulic power, and employing seventy-five persons, the mill operating night and day, and the daily capacity being one thousand barrels of flour. The pro- ducts comprise high-grade spring wheat flours, the leading brands being Axa, Herald, Vermillion, and Mari- posa. These goods are shipped to all parts of the United States and ex- ported to Europe. Mr. Carter was born in Illinois and came to Hastings from Quincy, 111., in 1897. He is an old business man and member of the chamber'of commerce and Minneap- olis club of Minneapolis. The old established Teutonia Brewery is another of the prominent business enterprises of Hastings. It -was established in 1870 by J. L. Busch and Fred Busch, his son,under the film name of J. L. Busch & Son. Six years ago the senior member died and Mr. Fred Busch became sole proprietor, The plant includes the brewery proper, the storage and cooling house, etc., with new machin- ery and patent ice houses. The trade of the brewery is local, and Teutonia beer is sold to the leading saloons and hotels and the best class of family- trade. amilytrade. Mr. Busch, who is a native of Saxony and an expert brewer, came 'to Hastings in 1870. His well known advocacy of economical city government led to his election at the last spring election as mayor of Hast- ings, which office he still holds. -St. Paul Pioneer Press, 19th. the of is the its ver on ty the is ent en, ed as- ert C. on of on ns' St. hi - is he ng ng 0, he is ry of le d 8S as g er Our Comity Officers.

There are ho when its cascades have a thousand ors, like mother of pearl. There dawns, after the mist has lifted, w the broad surface of the river ab the cascades is actually saffron or b nished gold. Barbara Merriden knew It In ev mood and loved It whether it was so ber with storm or sullen in the ha autumn days or scintillant under t July sunshine. She was as much home upon the river as on the la and the firm earth, with all its comf and beauty, could never give her t joy that she felt when the current to her boat in its strong embrace. She went to the river in her sorro ful moments as well as in her hap ones. She fled to it as to a frier When George Caxton told her that loved her, she ran to the river to tell of the blessing that Lad come into h life. But surae way she did not fe the ecstasy she had expected to. T pleasure in her heart did not rise meet the splendor of water and s and shore. She had often looked fo ward to this hour as the crowning jo of her life. But with grief she disco ered that the song of nature had higher note than the love lyric of h heart. Perhaps it was because the hour ha been too long expected. George Ca ton and Barbara Merriden had gone t school together. They knew ever event of each other's lives. They ha always been attached to each othe George had never thought of any othe girl with emotion, and Barbara ha long felt that she was destined to b his wife. She had said yes to his ea nest question with gratitude and ha piness, yet now in the mystic hour b the river, with the sun shedding it last exquisite glow upon an unrea world, she felt a weariness of spirit a the moderation of her joy. She was turning from her beautifu river, humiliated at the inadequacy o her own emotions, when she saw walk in g amongthe pines. s .wills eyes fixe upon the distant glory of the sky, young man whom she had never see before. He did not see ber till she wa close by him, and then he looked wit a start at the face of the girl, spirltua and exquisite with its deep emotion experience. IIe stopped and looked a her, rapt, as if she had been some re cently embodied soul created for thi wondrous hour, and she stopped, too enchanted by the eloquence of his face When he spoke, it was to say some thing remarkable: "Is it always mysterious and fear- fully beautiful in these woods?" be asked. "It is always beautiful here," she said, speaking as if In a dream. "And sometimes it seems unreal and like - like a phantom world, as it does to- night." Never before in her life bad she spo- ken in the way that she desired. It was her habit to frame ber speech in commonplace words, "I should like to walk out on that golden water," he went on. "It seems as if it might bear one up, does it not?" Barbara had a fancy and indulged herself in it. "It will bear up any one whose heart Is light," she smiled. "But, mind you, it must have no care at all. It must be as light as ether." "Would It bear you up?" he asked. She shook her head mournfully, and he said in a voice that moved her, "And I should sink like a stone." It Seemed impossible for them to part while that witch light gleamed upon their enchanted wood, and when the shadows grew gray they became a part of them -like shadows they faded from each other's sight. That night when Barbara went about her duties and afterward when she lay in her bed she found herself happy with the elate and triumphant happi- ness of which she had dreamed. George Caxton, her promised lover, semed a part of the workaday world Her thoughts turned away from him in -spite of ber efforts to be loyal. She felt sure she would meet the stranger again In the woods, and she did many times. He was a writer by vocation. He even confessed to being a poet. He was not well, he said. The city had worn on him, so he had come for a long rest there among the pines. His name was Cecil Underwood, Barbara found It impossible to resist the charm of his personality. He seem- ed to make the whole world over for ber. In vain she struggled to remem- ber the truth and patience and strength of ber betrothed. He was too well known to ber to be seen through a glamour. With austere serenity he in- sisted upon an early marriage day. He refused apparently to feel any jeal- ousy at the constant companionship of his sweetheart and Cecil Underwood. And Barbara was angry at him for this too. nd- did nks ver led en, the urs col - are hen ove ur- ery rsh he at nd, ort he ok w- py he it er el he to ky y v - a er d x- 0 y r. d r d e r- p - y 1 1 d a n b 1 1 s "He has no sensibility," she said herself. One wild day when the wind cri through the tree tops and the wate lashed along as if in stress of pa Cecil Underwood came to her in an i perative mood. "You must come walking with me he said. "The day expresses me. have to speak of the torment of m heart, and I will keep still no long even at your bidding." Barbara went out with him. The walked under the pines, whose roa filled the world with their lamenting They were silent, conscious of t storm within their souls. "Let us take a boat," said Barbar when they had reached the river. "No, no," he protested, but she seem ed not to hear him and untied her ski and leaped into it. "Come," she said. He hesitate(((d followed. As the little boat felt th lift of the waves the pain In her hen seemed to lighten, and she let the cur rent carry her along, unconscious o the passage of time. Suddenly Cod cried out: "The rapids, Barbara! The rapids See where you have taken us!" Sh glanced behind her. It was true the the tossing white mane of the wate horses was not more than half a tail away, and the boat was quivering 1 the pull of their great power. Barbar smiled a little. It would not matter t her so much, she reflected, if her grey problem were to be solved that way But, still, it was cowardly to die. Sh set her fine young strength to a resist ance, rowing up stream and inclinin the boat toward the southern shore So absorbed was she in this task that she did not notice the man with her till she heard him crying, with wild im- portunities to his Maker: "Row, Barbara, row! Row, girl!" Then, looking at him, she saw his face was corpse white and quivering with fear, and the next moment he sank, an inert heap, at the bottom of the boat. "Get up," she commanded, "and take the tiller! Get up Instantly!" He obeyed dimly, shaking and sick with terror. Barbara bent to her heavy task and made by means of brave efforts a lit- tle headway. But the wild horses plunged on and dragged her at their heels. She was almost on the verge of yielding to their relentless strength when a boat shot out from the Dank. It came toward her quaking skiff with magnificent momentum. Barbara rec- ognized the occupant at once. It was George Caxton. A hideous humiliation filled her soul She was almost tempt- ed to yield to that tugging of the wild horses. She looked at the half faint- ing, praying creature beside her and then at the approaching man. And a moment of Gethsemane came to her. Then, white and courageous, she re- newed her efforts. A moment later a line was thrown to her. She made it secure. Then she in her boat and George Caxton in his began a struggle against the powers of the river, in which they soon conquered. George helped the trembling Cecil to shore, but Barbara leaped lightly to land and stood there smiling strangely. "I am thankful with a great thank- fulness that I owe my life to you, George," she said. "It is a privilege," She held out ber hand to the other man. "Goodby," she whispered. "Pity me! Pity me!" he cried. "I do," she responded. "Goodby." He went slowly under the pines, walking feebly like a man who is old and ill. George looked after him with commiserating g y ees, but Barbara wasrelentless, "Give me your arm," she said, with tender graciousness. "We will walk home together, George." -Chicago Trib- une. to ed rs in m- ,1 e y r s. he a 1T t0 rt f • e r e n 'a 0 e g Two Butler Stories. Once when General Butler was in congress be rose in his place and gently insinuated that the member who was occupying the floor was transgressing the limit of debate. "Why, general," said the member in reproachful tones, "you divided your time with me." "I know I did," rejoined the grim old warrior, "but I did not divide eternity with you." But perhaps Butler's most savage re- tort was made in a political convention, in which a distinguished Unitarian di- vine, I think it was James Freeman Clarke, sat as a delegate. While the subject of candidates was being dis- cussed this clergyman announced that if a certain nomination was made he would bolt it. "Very likely," Butler blurted out. 'You are good at bolting; in your re- ligion you bolt two-thirds of the Trin- ity." The convention broke into a roar of laughter, in which the clergyman join- ed. -New York Mail and Express. Jewelry Marked by Tiny Numbers. On every piece of worthy jewelry there will be found a series of numbers so fine that a glass is needed to cor- rectly read them. These numbers are there to protect the owner in event of loss. It is unkind to say ic, but pawn- brokers have also adopted the number - Ing scheme to protect themselves from thieves. Every pawnbroker knows where to look for these significant numbers, and in the case of a rare bit of jewelry its travels from the factory to store and from store to pawnbroker and from shop to shop can be traced with aggravating accuracy.- Detroit Free Press.

In the early days of Mr. Beecifer_s career, when wit was unknown in the pulpit, some of the deacons of his church asked him if he didn't think such frequent outbursts of humor were calculated to diminish his usefulness.

No Two Thumbs Alike. ,.t Is not alone on questions of hand- writing that handwriting experts are called upon to testify. Thumb impres- sions, around which Mark Twain in "Puddin'head Wilson" built his ingen- ious story, have sometimes formed the basis of very convincing testimony. Conan Doyle said that Carvalho's de- ductions in the case of the robbery of $25,000 from a package of the Ameri- can Express company, for nicety of reasoning and extraordinary coinci- dence, eclipsed anything any one ever dared put into fiction. In 1804 Asa Guy Gurney was tried on the charge of stealing a large sum of money from the express company. It was proved that Gurney had opened the safe where the package had becu placed, taken it out and deposited it in another safe. It was found that a large sum was missing. The evidence was purely circumstan- tial. The envelope containing the mon- ey bore upon it, however, a thumb im- pression, Mr. Carvalho testified that the impression on the envelope and several impressions of Gurney's thumb corresponded exactly and con- tended that there were no two thumbs in the world alike. But such evidence was too subtle for the rural jury which tried the case, and the prisoner was acquitted. It is to be recorded as a tribute to the accuracy of Carvalho's testimony that Gurney soon after confessed. - Chambers' Journal. Severe Punishment. Sterling is derived from the name by which the dwellers in eastern Germany were known in the twelfth and thir- teenth centuries. They were called Easterlings. The purity not only of their money was very famous, but that of their silver specially so, and corners and silversmiths were fetched from those parts to improve the quality of our own manufactures.' So far back as 1597 two counterfeit- ers, who sold spurious silver articles bearing a simulated royjll lion and the goldsmiths' marks, were sentenced to stand in a pillory at Westminster, with their ears nailed thereto and with pa- pers above their heads setting forth the nature of the offense for which they were so disgraced. After this degradation they were publicly march- ed to Cheapside, put in the pillory there, and had each one ear cut off, finally being conducted back to the Fleet prison and having to pay a fine of 10 marks each. It seems that in recent times the rec- ord price for Elizabethan silver was £70 10s. per ounce. For old articles in this metal the sum usually obtainable ranges from £5 to £17 per ounce. ac- cording to the artistic workmanship displayed on them. -Loudon Telegraph. Only Two Loads.

The English have been accused for so long of dullness in their humor that several stories related of the eminent wit Douglas Jerrold may not be out of place as showing that the charge is sometimes untrue. It appears that at a dinner one gentleman who had been eating a dish of sheep's head with great gusto exclaimed as he laid down his knife and fork, "Sheep's head for- ever, say I!" "There's egotism," said Jerrold. Sometimes, through a joke, Jerrold conveyed good advice or a word of warning. He was enjoying a drive one day with a jovial spendthrift behind s pair of grays. "Well, what do you think of my grays?" asked his impecu- nious friend. "To tell you the truth," replied Jerrold, "1 was thinking more of your duns." A Sure Cure For Howls.

"Would it fill her all up full with water so she couldn't howl no more?" inquired Charlie. - "Yes, I'm afraid it would," said mam- ma, pleased with tne interest Charlie was taking in his sister's welfare.

There were three of them, and as they entered the German saloon on the cornea' the tall young man, who wore razzle dazzle clothes and posed as "fast," remarked in an undertone to his companions that he would "show them something good." They lined up at the bar. and the tall young man ordered three 5 cent drinks. When these were disposed of, he laid down 10 cents on the bar, at which the German proprietor remark- ed, "Nein; flfdeen," The tall young man repocketed the coin and thus ad- dressed the German: "1 just gave you 10 cents. didn't I?" "Tab," responded the German. "Well, here's 10 cents. That makes 20, so you owe me 5," added the young man, again depositing the dime on the bar. The German looked bewildered, but placed the dime In the money drawer and handed the tall young man a halt dollar, with the request that lie deduct therefrom the 5 cents due him. The tall young man had just the correct change, 45 cents, left in his pocket. This he promptly handed to the Ger man and recwyyed the half dollar. 'Then the three companions repaired to the street and indulged in a mighty laugh, while the tall young man swelled up tike a prize turkey on parade.

It was all the money he had, and he could not persuade the con- ductor to trust him, so he was eject- ed jected at the next corner and had to walk the remaining live miles to his home. - Chicago Journal TRAINING OF ANIMALS. Only Accomplished, it 1■ Sald, by the Use of the Whip. The popular theory that animals can be taught tricks by firmness and kind- ness is a grim error, according to a vet- eran circus man who has sent forth the dictum that no animal was ever trained to do anything unnatural ex- cept by punishment, If it knows hun- ger or pain will follow disobedience, it will obey. It takes the whip to break the colt to harness or saddle, but the end justifies the means, and the animal's intelli- gence when once it has learned its les- son does away with further use of the whip. But if a horse Is taught tricks, such as one sees in a circus, the con- stant use of the whip is necessary, and the little pat on the neck the train- er gives the animal to public is not be- stowed in private. There is never any let up in their training. Trained dogs always appeal to wom- en and children, for the little animals appear to thoroughly enjoy their work. But the balking and frisking are only the natural joy of the poor beasts at being let out of tbe cramped quarters where they -stay when they are not in the ring. Moreover, they know the trainer does not whip them in public. There is scarcely a trick a trained dog does that he likes or that he will do at order unless punished. Willis Cobb was the first dog trainer to make a reputation, and when he was middle aged he abandoned his profession be- cause, he said, he had not the heart to go on making a living by whipping dogs. -Cleveland World. "Silencing a Gun:, There is a great deal of ignorance as to what "silencing a gun" means. A gun is silenced when the gunners are disabled or driven back and the gun or gun carriage damaged. It is a common enough phenomenon for weapons which have thus been silenced to re- open fire after repairs have been made, the gunners rallied or a fresh gun crew obtained. It is a rare thing for a gun to be so damaged by hostile fire that it cannot be refitted and brought into ac- tion again. "I saw," says Prince Kraft of the German artillery fn the battle of Gravelotte, "many guns during the cannonade lying miserably on the ground `winged' -that is, with a broken wheel. But not one was withdrawn. The injured guns were always speed- ily repaired with the help of the wag- ons, which were near, so that at the close of the battle I could not tell ex- actly bow many *pieces bad been put temporarily out of action." -Army and Navy Journal.

MARCH 31 1900. i1 per Year in Advanss. is per Year it not in Ad THE GRAY SQUIRREL HE IS THE QUICKEST WITTED OF ALL OF HIS TRIBE. This Saucy Long Tall Knows Enough to Shun the Mar. Who Carries a Gun—The Peculiar Feeding Habits of the Squirrel Fancily. If only conceit and contentiousness were ponderable, "Mr. Long Tail," as the negroes name the squirrel, would weigh as much as a calf. The three sorts of squirrels have this in common, they war with pretty nearly every sylvan thing and most of all with each other. The red, or fox. squirrel will not tolerate either the black or the gray fellows in his chosen haunts. The black squirrel in turn flouts the gray and drives him out, and the gray re- venges himself by stealing the hoard- ings of his lowly brother, the ground squirrel. The gray squirrel is far and away the quickest in wit of the three. At the opening of the shooting season young gray squirrels become gun shy and learn to dodge at the sight of arm- ed hunters ever so much more quickly than the other sorts. They learn also to differentiate. While the sight of a man with a gun makes them whisk away around trees or lie crouched fiat against a high branch, they will hop boldly out before one unarmed, chat- tering saucily and even coming within a yard or two for a but or berry. The squirrel family are epicures. Only the sharpest hunger will drive them to feed upon buds or young leaves. They will ' not store bitter acorns in the nest along with hickory nuts, chestnuts, chinquep!ns, sweet acorns and walnuts. Instead, they bury the bitter ones under a few inches of earth and leave them undisturbed until spring. when the acorns are ready to sprout. Then, by nature's alchemy, the bitter has become sweet, the starch in the cotyledons having turned to sugar and the astringent taste almost vanished. Science says we owe to the squirrel planters much the larger part of our oak forests. as well as some nut - woods. Occasionally a squirrel ventures into a wildstrawberry field. But it is only occasionally. His two chief enemies, the big blue hawk and the black snake, have too good a chance at him there. More commonly he saves his fruit tooth until mulberries are ripe, con- tenting himself meanwhile with suck- ing birds' eggs as fast as they are laid. He can plunder the nests only of small birds. Robins, catbirds, jays and thrushes fight him stoutly and often successfully. The jay, a fellow thief, makes the biggest outcry of all, after the manner of thieves, great or small. But when the finger long mulberries swell and grow black and full of rich juice there is a truce throughout the woods, especially those along the wa- ter side. Nobody needs to steal any- thing. Bird and beast find spread for them a riotous plenty. A week after mulberries ripen young squirrels are Ill their prime. It is amazing what a different flavor the fruit puts into the flesh. For the whole summer, indeed, a tender squirrel is a tidbit. Mulberries last until the early corn is in the roasting ear, and before the late fields harden hazelnuts are in the milk. Ten active squirrels left un- disturbed will make away with the best of au acre of corn. The furry marauder runs up the stalk, whips off the husk and gnaws the milky grains until he cannot hold another. A pe- culiarity Is that he never returns to S half eaten ear, but pitches on a fresh one. Likewise, though he may snatch a nut from another squirrel and run off with it, he will never eat it if the first owner has gnawed through to the ker- nel. It is a liberal education in dainty feeding to watch a squirrel rifling a hazel copse. The nuts grow in clusters at the very tips of slender stems. "Mr. Long Tail" runs down the stem as far as he dares, lies along it, reaches with his fore paws and catches the nut cluster. Still holding it fast, he backs a little, then sits upright, bolding the green frilled cluster fast, and sinks his sharp teeth in one nut after another and sucks out the kernel. Then when he has eaten the very last he lets the hull fly back to place. It may have held a dozen young nuts, but he rarely misses one. A failure of mast is sure to result in the migration of squirrels. All save the few saucy enough or bold enough to plunder corncribs set out about the same time, commonly about the 1st of October, in search of new feeding grounds. Often they travel hundreds of miles, crossing considerable rivers by the way. This is the more wonder- ful because commonly they have great fear of water. They swim well for a few yards, but beyond that the big bushy tail drags them down. In the migrating, old hunters say, they devel- op a faculty very close to reason. When a broad stream is reached, they run up and down it, hunting for bits of ,stick or bark small enough to be moved and light enough to float them over. Upon these improvised rafts they get safely across by taking pains to keep their tails out of water.—New York Sun. A British Army Corps. The British army corps as nominally constituted numbers 36,259 officers and men.

Eliminating all of these technical troops, the strength of a di- vision in infantry, cavalry and artillery Is 9,449 men, with 18 guns; of an army corps, 80,799 men. with 102 guns. PHENOMENA OF DREAMS. Figments of Thought During Sleep Vanish In Waking Hours. Mental phenomena have of late years been subjected to scientific investiga- tion in what 1s known as modern phys- iological psychology, and an attempt has been made to bring thele under the laws that apply to material things. Many curious connections between the mind and the body have been discov- ered, but dreams seem to resist analy- sis. It is impossible for an outsider to note the dreams of another person, and the dreamer's own report is apt to be very indefinite, for he cannot tell what he really dreamed, but only what he thinks he dreamed. We all have noticed how - quickly a dream fades and is forgotten unless set down in writing promptly on waking. A theory has been adduced which seems' to connect the phenomena of dreaming with the gradual manner in which human consciousness has risen from the depths—from dead matter perhaps—in the long history of tlic' race. It is that sleep submerges us sometimes as a flood might submerge a continerit, covering up the lower part of our natures first and not blotting out our higher moral principles till the last, and thereby reversing the steps of the process through which man passed in his development from a lower state. Thus the first power an animal ac- quires Is the co-ordination of its mus- cles and its will, the power to make prompt, decisive movements of its limbs. This is a power acquired by children during the first year or two of their lives and is nearly the entire sum of the faculties of the lowest savage. In the state of sleep this power is lost first, for sleepwalking is entirely an unconscious action, the body acting as a machine not under control of the will. As the savage rises in- the plane of life he acquires the rudimentary reasoning powers and becomes able to estimate roughly the relation of cause and effect. This. logical power is the next faculty we lose as sleep rises from the depths over us. Every one must have noticed that in dreams things happen at 'random. We find ourselves In strange places, and people appear and disappear on the scene in an absolutely lawless manner. While we are in this condition we are still capable of remorse If we do any- thing wrong, and we feel fear or joy. Our higher moral natures are still ac- tive. Now, the conscience and the es- tablishment in the mind of a reason- able standard of ethics are the last things that grow up in the mind of man either In the race or in the indivillual. Savages have but the rudiments of either, and only the man in whom the conscience is developed can be called civilized. In the final stage sleep rises so high as to cover up our moral na- tures, the peaks of which had projected above the fog covering our logical pow- ers. In this condition we kill our best friends in our dreams without the slightest hesitation and are troubled With no remorse, though we commit in imagination frightful and unnecessary crimes in a mood of placid indifference. It is belfeverthat the experience of every one. as to the character of dreams, or, rather, of sleep, will con- firm the reality of the above stages. Nearly all who have testified on the subject agree that in "sleep thinking" their logical powers disappear first and their moral natures afterward. If It be really so and sleep Is a rehearsal backward of the great drama of hu- man development, our nightly repose is a more serious matter than we thought it to be and ought not to be lightly entered into:, If our dream do dimly shadow the stages of life his ory of the race, it is only another proof of our common origin and our mys- terious heredities.—Hartford Times. Where Hypnotism Didn't Work. "I think," said the careworn, sad eyed citizen to the professor of hypno- tism, "ef you could manage to git Ma- ria under the influence of them ere hypnotics an jest leave her so, we would git 'long all right atterward. I want you to sorter change the natur' of her—git her so that she'll reckernlze my rights an be in subjection, as the Scripter commands. You kin do that— can't you?" "I certainly can," said the professor. But just then a woman who had been taking up tickets at the door came for- ward. "Look here," she said to the profess- or, "what are you doing—jabbering with that feller, when there ain't enough tickets sold to pay the gas bill? (lit on the outside this minute, an go to work, you lazy—trifling"— "Air you his wife, s1a'am?" meekly inquired the careworn citizen. "Yes!" snapped the woman. "Have you got anything to say about it?" "Nuthin at all, ma'am—nuthin at all! I wuz only jest waitin round here Per my own wife!"—Atlanta Constitution. More Than Enough.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER C0., 100 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK. NAPOLEON AT ST. HELENA. His Views on the Precautions Taken to Prevent His Rscape. One of the extracts from Dr. O'Mea- ra's St. Helena diary in The Century records Napoleon's views on the pre- cautions taken to prevent his escape. He spoke anew about escaping and said that if he was inclined to try it, which he was not, there were 93 ' hances in 100 against his effecting it. "But," said he, "this jailer every week imposes new and vexatious restrictions upon me, just as if I was in a place where I had nothing to do but to step into a boat and be away. When I wad` at Elba, it was different It is true that while one lives there is a chance. of escape. Although ironed and chain- ed down, inclosed in a cell of stone and every human precaution taken against a possibility of it, still there is a chance of escape, and the only way to prevent it is to put me to death. "This is the only sure way. Let him put me to death, and all uneasiness on the part of the European powers, Lord Castlereagh himself and his govern- ment will cease. No .more expense then; no more squadrons to watch me or poor soldiers, fatigued to death with pickets and guards or harassed with carrying burdens up those precipices. I am sure those poor devils have rea- son to hate me and wish my death. They most, however, be conscious that the fatiguing ditties imposed upon them are unnecessary and vexatious, as the sight of the island must con- vince every one but a suspicious cog- lione that escape from it was. nearly impossible unless, as I have said be- fore, that while there Is Life there is a chance, if attempted.

Herrmann's Clever Trick With a Quart Bottle oY l'hu..l.agur. "The late Herrmann, the magician," said George Carroll of St. Louis, "1 knew quite well and used to see a great deal of whenever he visited my home. Ile was a most interesting man and perfectly wonderful with his peculiar tricks. "In connection with his ability to palm or conceal articles, no matter what might be their size, I remember a rather interesting story that used to be told about him. He was one night at a dinner in one of the clubs here, and, the conversation turning naturally on palming as a tine art, Herrmann was asked by a fellow diner if he could palm a quart bottle of champagne. "Previous to answering the query the magician pulled up the sleeve of his coat, exposing his right arm almost to the elbow, and then taking a ,bottle of champagne'!n his hand saki: 'To palm an object successfully it must be suffi- ciently small, either to be concealed by the hand itself or by hand and wrist combined. In the case of a bottle of champagne,, that, as you Will observe. is impossible, for the body of the bottle is of too great girth for the wrist to conceal, and a portion will project on one side or the other or on both sides. as the case may be. The only way 1 can think of to dispose of a bottle of champagne Is to do as I now do with this one—throw It at that waiter over there.' I "Suiting the action to the word, he apparently hurled the bottle with great force at a waiter standing near the oth- er end of the table. The waiter duck- ed, men rose from their chairs with ejaculations, and in the confusion the bottle of champagne totally and entire- ly disappeared. Clever, wasn't !t?"— New York Tribune. Spectra of Hot Stars. Sir Norman Lockyer describes the order of appearance of metals in the spectra of hot stars. Helium appear- ed first, then hydrogen, then mag- nesium, calcium, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and silicon, followed by copper and iron in the protometallic form. This term protometallic was given be- cause the lines were only associated in terrestrial work with extremely high temperatures. Assuming that the substance of lowest atomic weight ap- peared first In a spectrum, we must suppose magnesium and calcium as we know them to be molecular forms of proto-elements which dissociated at higher temperatures into atoms of smaller mass.

"I saw by a paper last week that a colored woman was excluded from tes- tifying in court because she didn't know her right hand from her left and was therefore esteemed too ignorant for her evidence to be of any value," said an observant man yesterday. "Now, do you know I don't believe one woman out of six knows her right hand from her left without stopping to consider the matter. "I was standing in the foyer of a theater the other day at a matinee watching the audience, mostly femi- nine, as it passed 1n. Well, each maid handed her check to the usher, and he called out 'First door to the right' or 'Second door to the left,' as the case might be.-- With hardly an exception those girls turned in the wrong direc- tion; then they'd pause to consider, ex- claim, 'We're going the wrong wayr and skurry back again. "This happened so often that I spoke to the usher about it. "'They always do it,' he replied la- conically. 'I usually point so they'll know the way, but I've neglected to do that today. They're all right if they stop to think, but they never do think.' "I myself know an intelligent young woman wbo has to make a little mo- tion as if she were writing with both hands before she can determine the right one, and she declares that all her acquaintances are affected in like man- ner, so perhaps this is a general femi- nine failing, and the colored witness was unjustly excluded." — Baltimore News. Saved the Bank's Money. "Whenever I buy anything," once said Russell Sage in telling the story, "I make it a rule to talk with the sales- man. I am a member of a great many different boards of directors in a great many lines of investment, and I often find this information of great service. Some time ago I went into a large clothing store to buy a suit of clothes at a low price that I had seen adver- tised. I bought the clothes for $14, 1 think, and in talking with the clerk 1 found the lot bad been sent to his store from a big manufacturing concern to be sold on commission. I got them for less than cost. Now, I have kept a general store and understand that busi- ness, and there is no money in that sort of thing. "A few weeks afterward this manu- facturing concern applied to one of the banks I am connected with for a large loan. Their credit was apparently all right, but on the strength of what I had learned I held up that loan, and a short time later the concern failed."— Saturday Evening Post.

HOW A CLAIM PAID. One Way of Getting Money Without Panning 1t Out. "There are more ways of making money off a claim than panning it out," said an Alaska miner who had some luck with his pick and shovel. "For instance, I knew a man of means In the Dawson district who had a claim which had failed to be as profit- able as expected, and he didn't know just what to do with it to get his money back until be had devoted con siderable thought to it. And it was situ• pie enough when he knew how. "He quietly went to the gold com- missioner and announced that he wish ed to pay his 10 per cent royalty on the product of his claim for a year. which was $6,000. The cotnmisaioner ac- cepted the $6,000 royalty and gave him the usual receipt. stating on Its face what it was for, with the number of the claim, location, etc. "Then he 'waited patiently about.' like Mary's little Iamb, and one day, in the course of human events, an Eng- lishman came along looking for a good thing for some people who had money to spend. He asked Mr. Blank. among others, what he had to sell. and the smooth gent told him he didn't know exactly, but he would show him his goods. They looked over several claims that were practically unworked. and then in a casual way Mr. Blank showed the Englishman bis receipt for royalty on claim so and so. 'And. you know,' he said, with a wink. 'that a man isn't paying royalty on any more than he can possibly help.

The late Prebendary Rogers used to tell how Lord Rosebery joined him in petitioning the Duke of Wellington to open Apsley House on Sunday after- noons, so that the public might see the pictures. The duke and Mr. Rogers met in the park and began to weak about the memorial. "Among all these signatures," said the duke, "1 find only one respectable name, and that is your own." Mr. Rogers replied that Dean Stan- ley had signed. "Oh," said the duke, "I don't call him respectable." "Well, but there is Lord Rosebery." "I don't think much of him," answer- ed the duke; "but, as you assure me it is all right, I will see what can be done." It was finally agreed that visitors should be admitted on condition that they wiped their feet on the mats and did not sit down on the sofas.—West- minster Gazette. Piecing Bank Notes. I am told at the treasury department that it is not possible for a person to defraud the government by what they call "piecing"—that is, by clipping off small slices of several bank notes and fitting them together to resemble a complete note. Such offenses have been committed, and the guilty persons have been sent to the penitentiary, but the treasury never redeems the bills, and the loss falls upon the persons wbo send them in for redemption. There are several ways of committing frauds of this nature, and they are done so skillfully as to escape detection except by experts. There is now a $500 note on exhibition at the treasury which Is made up of 16 slices of other notes so skillfully fitted together as to es- cape the notice of a number of banks and many people who handled it.—Chi- cago Record. An Opera Air In Church. Those of my churchgoing readers who are familiar with Mozart's opera of "Don Juan" and have even sung it in church In— I am conscious of au interruption and a protest at this point, denying the allegation and defying the allegator, but I must Insist oL .`tie truth of my statement. The tune "Smyrna" is not sung so much in church as it used to be, but you could find it In plenty of tunebooks 25 years ago. It is a beauti- ful melody, but not devotional except as it expresses the devotion of the fic- kle coquette In the opera as she con- soles her bruised lover. — Irish Inde- pendent A Question of Advantage.

Made It Even, "Lawyer Niles was a humor loving attorney in my old Iudiaua town," said a drummer. "He owed ins $1.90 for several months. He was a promineut citizen of the village, and 1 was the driver of a fire seated carryall that made four trips daily between our town and a neighboring city. So I hes- itated to run him. One day as I s'as passing along in front of his office he gladdened my heart by opening the door and stepping out into the road. "'Guess I owe you somethin,' Parks?' be asked, looking up at me seated on the wagon. "'Yes, sir. It is $1.90. 1 remember.' "'So it is. So it is'—reaching down in his pocket 'Have you got 10 cents about you?' "Of course I had, and as I reached down into my corduroys for the dime I saw visions of the $2 bill that would soon be asleep in my !aside pocket. Truth to tell, I was overjoyed, for sel- dom before had I been in such pressing need for additional money as I was on that particular day. I found the change and gave it to Niles, who coolly put it in his pocket and walked back toward his office without giving me a cent. "'Thanks; said he rather unfeeling- ly as he pulled out a fresh cigar and lit it with exasperating imperturbability. 'Thanks. That'll make It an even $2 now.' "—Detroit News -Tribune. Scientific Sate "Cracking." In the experiments made in a burgla- rious way, among others, a $3,000 square safe of the most approved con- struction was attacked by inserting in the crevice about the locked door 4 8-10 ounces of nitroglycerin, and in eight minutes after the operation of loading was begun the charge was fired, with the result that the whole of the jamb below the door was blown out and a hole made in the door of suf- ficient size to admit the hand and arm, while the doors and divisions of Ws! Interior compartments were completely shattered. On repeating the operation with 4% ounces of forcite dynamite the door was completely torn off. Among experiments made to demon- strate the resistance of structures to attack by a mob was one upon a sate 29 inches cube, with walls 4% inches thick, made up of plates of Iron and steel, which were re -enforced on each edge so as to make it highly resisting, yet when a hollow charge of dynamite 9% pounds in weight and untamped was detonated on It a hole three inches to diameter was blown clear through the wall, though a solid cartridge of the same weight and of the same ma- terial produced no essential effect— Popular Science Monthly. A Cautions Man. The familiar saw that no man can be a hero to his valetwas illustrated to me the other day in an amplified and pec ' :r form. It was while sittiug with a man of affairs that his stenog- rapher entered, saying that a certain other man desired to speak to my ac- quaintance over the telephone. "Take it," said my man and forthwith picked up his extension machine, through which he talked with the man at the oth- er end, the conversation including mat- ters of finance, politics and personal business of a most familiar and confi- dential sort. He didh't mind me at all —I didn't count. We continued our conversation, and just as I was ready to leave the stenographer entered with several sheets of manuscript, which she laid on the desk. "That goes on file," said my man. "I invariably have a record kept of my telephone talks, and I've found it to pay. While I talk the stenographer holds the main line and puts it down." I made up my mind that if I had any- thing particular to say to that man hereafter I'd tell him on the street or in some place other than his office.— Cleveland Plain Dealer. Restaurant Thieves. "Why don't you use after dinner cot - fee spoons?" asked a woman at a first class up town restaurant of the propri- etor the other evening, finding it some- what inconvenient to use a large spoon with her small cup. "We did have them when we first opened," answered the proprietor. "We had six dozen, but they gradually disappeared until now only three are left, and we consid- er it more economical to use the larger spoons, for which people do not seem to have such a fancy." At many restaurants when a glass of claret or sherry is called for it !s serv- ed in a tiny decanter. These miniature bottles are very attractive. They seem to appeal, as many smail things do, to the taste of many people. One man who visits now and again many differ- ent restaurants boasts that he has over two dozen of these pretty little decan- ters. He doesn't say bow he came them, but he didn't purchase them.— New York Times. A Child's Conclusion. "Papa, is it true that the devil is the father of lies?" "Yee, my child ; it is."

There is very little excitement over local politics, notwithstanding the election takes place en Tuesday. So far the principal issue seems to be the chief of police. If Mr. Tuttle is elected mayor, as seems quite proba- ble at the present writing, there will undoubtedly be a change. The Hon. J. P. Heatwole has in- troduced a bill abolishing the free printing of the government upon envelopes, a measure which certainly ought to pass without unnecessary delay. This and the Loud bill are directly in the interest of the eouutry newspapers. G. W. Baker, one of the eight boys who enlisted in the Thirteenth Regi- ment from the state training school at Med Wing• is reported to have mar- ried a Filipino damsel worth upwards of $100,000. W. J. Yanz has made au exception- ally good city clerk, and is entitled to the indorsement of a re-election. See that a X is made opposite his name upon your ballot. The democratic city convention in St. Paul resulted in a split Saturday, one faction nominating R. A. Smith for Mayor and the other Judge J. W. Willis. The Diamond Jo Liue will run the Quincy, Dubuque, and St. Paul be- tween St. Louis and St. Paul the corning season. leaving every third day. Over fifty-seven million cigars were manufactured in Minnesota last year, an increase of nearly seven and a quarter million over 1898. F. D., Hubbard is the republican candidate for alderman in the fourth ward, and W. D. Hindmarsh for justice of the peace. C. R. Smith is the republican can- / didate for mayor of St. Paul, and will be elected by a very large majority. • W. DeW. Pringle was a good police justice, and is ready to fill the position•again if elected. The Janesville Argus has put on a handsome new dress of type. The Hon. Seth H. Kenney, the pioneer in the manufacture of syrups and sugar from amber cane in Minne- sota, has disposed of his business to his sop Fred, wlio will continue it as heretofore, The history of the growth of this industry from the be- ginning covers a period of forty-one years. It was started in 1859, and at that time two wooden rollers did the crushing and a yoke of cattle furnish- ed the power. Its growth was steady and permanent. and during the past few years the annual output has been over fifteen thousand gallons. State, national, and world's awards have re- peatedly been won for the product of the factory, which now has a world wide reputation. Mr. Kenney iu re- tiring will no doubt find sufficient pleasure and profit in looking after fruit, sheep, and farming interests, and the son may be counted on to further enlarge the manufacturing establishment. He has been brought up in the business and knows every detail.—Morristown Preis. The School Entertainment.

Our home merchants who do not advertise are largely responsible for the enormous business done by mail with the big supply houses of Minne- apolis and Chicago.

No wonder the local newspaper is tempted to advertise for foreign supply houses.—Austin Trans- cript. W. J.

A more or less concerted attempt is I being made in the third congressional district of this state to defeat the re- nomination of Mr. I#eatwole.

The past twenty-five years her kind heart and ready hand has been felt here among us. Her many friends hoped by a surgical operation that her life might be spared, and when word came that she had passed through and come to herself, we all rejoiced only to feel more keenly her loss a few days later. In sickness she was ready to do all that she could, which kindness was repaid by Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Charlie Junke in her last sickness and con- finement to the house.

Fred Kreigher, a farmer living four miles south of the Wabasha bridge, has discovered in his potato patch what has every semblance of being pay dirt. In other words Mr. Kreigher has discovered that, in ad- dition to the ordinary producing qualities, his soil contains gold dust. Mr. Kreigher was at the state house yesterday displaying a large sample of brownish sand in a bottle, which was well permeated with yellow particles having every semblance of being gold dust. He called at the state house chemical laboratory to have the sample analyzed, but, as the state dairy department has but little facility for analysis of minerals, Mr. Kreigher was referred to Prof. N. H. Winchell, the state geologist, who is in that business. Mr. Kreigher is very sanguine over his find, and states that the entire subsoil of a forty acre tract contains gold in greater or less quantities. If Mr. Kreigber's dreams of wealth are realized he will build a new windmill on his farm and move into a brown- stone house on Summit Avenue. If not, all well and good; he will con- tinue to raise garden truck for the people that live on Summit Avenue. Discussing the subject yesterday he said, "Over two years ago I first discovered something unusual about the soil of a forty acre tract situated on a very low place. Indeed, in the spring, it is well filled with water. I called several of my neighbors over and showed them the sand and took a bottle of it to Red Wing, where some friends of mine pronounced it gold. Whenever we have a wet season very little of the gold particles are to be seen; they seem to be washed away. However, in the fall, I can take a shovel and dig up a lump of earth that will run just as good as this sample. Just now most of the field is covered with water, that Is, the part where I secured the best speci- mens of the sand from. I am confi- dent that it is gold, as we washed several pans of it and the gold im- mediately settled in the bottom of the pan. Of course there was net much, but I have the gold we washed out in an envelope. I have tried several other parts of my farm, and the neighbors have tried to discover the saine formation on their farms, but the gold seems to be in this low tract. No, you bet I don't want to sell my farm. I am going up to see Prof. Winchell at the university and have the sand fully analyzed."—St. Paid Globe, 24th. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coat- ed, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite ---gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying Electric Bitters; and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. c)nly 50 cts., guaran- teed, at S. B. Rude's Drug Store. The Probate Court.

A DOtI !IND R MOR[. 1 BY BERNARD CAPES. O "Go sleep, darling—go sleep:" s Mary in the smallest of voices so tl the botanist, of whom she hada w shipful [$'cad, plight not hear. But he did hear. "Now, child," he said, "put do that thing and come." Mary laid her doll on the worn lea er elbow chair, gave it a little symi thetic pat on the back and reluctan crept to the side of the botanist as sat at his table. "Do you see this drawing of a spe men?" "Yes, sir." "Don't call me, sir. I've told you b fore." "Yes, uncle." "Now, now! Am I your uncle—r fated to you in any way? 1 am yo guardian. You should have learn that in a week." Mary looked at her black frock f inspiration, failed to find it and whi pered. "I won't have that, miss!" cried th botanist angrily, but he should hal said ward to be consistent. Mary's sprinkle of tears dried in h eyes like wind blown drops of rain o a casement. The botanist's tone sotto ed. Ile felt almost as if he had knoc ed over a delicate specimen. "You must learn self reliance," h said, with a stiff, kind smile. "Yo are now an orphan, face to face wit the hard facts of existence, and yo Must learn to sow early that your ha vest may be full for the reaping." "I can sew a hem," said Mary. "Hem:" echoed the botanist. "Wel well! Look at this specimen and tel me what it is." "I think"— "I wish you to know." "It's a bit of laburnum, then." "To what family does it belong?" Mary rubbed her left calf with he right shoe buckle, felt an inclination t giggle weakly, blushed, looked tows the high, dusty window and into th little sordid patch of Brompton garde beyond and brightened anxiously. "It belongs to yours," she said; "a least that one there does. Only," sh added, perplexed, "you haven't got n family." "Tut, tut! This is shocking. De scribe the flower." "It's—it's like rows of little yellow bees hanging on." "It is papiiionaceous, certainly. Wecan do without the fanciful descrip- tion. I notice a tendency in you—are you listening?—a tendency to cheap picturesqueness, which is opposed to that brevity of language which Is at once the richness and economy of knowledge. Poets (who are on the whole a contemptible race) find their effeminate inspiration in what they choose to consider the accidents of life. There are no accidents in life. The red or yellow of a flower, its scent, its formation, are merely subscriptions to a condition and the.natural incidents in a system. Give me your attention, please. I shall ring and have that doll removed, otherwise. To compare a flower with a bee, an inanimate with an animate object, is wanton and un- necessary. Now, hear me read this: 'The laburnum (of the genus cytisus) has its leaves on long stalks; leaflets rather glaucous, ternate, nearly sessile, oval, mucronulate. The petioles and subulate stipules downy. The seeds are highly poisonous, containing the principle known as cytisine and pos- sessing narcotic acrid properties: This description, which I have written down, I wish you to now take to the little black table, with your dictionary. In the latter you will search for each word whose significance is unknown to you, and when you are perfect in your task you will come and construe to me." The botanist turned bis head as he finished and at once bounced to his feet with a positive yelp of rage. Mary *vas hushing her doll, who was awake and crying. "This is outrageous!" he shouted. "You are a bad, ungrateful child!" His fury came with a clap. It was part of a system no doubt. But to ex- pect him to be a philosopher as well as a botanist was to be ridiculously ex- acting. So he snapped the doll out of its astonished mother's hands and In an excess of indignation tore head and body apart at the neck and threw the mangled remnants on the floor. "How dare you!" he cried, stamping and vibrating his clinched fists. "You ih1}ve been petted and spoiled. I shall take you In hand with extreme se - aid fat or- wn th- tly he ct- e- c- ur ed or m- e 'e er n 11- k - e u n u r- 1, 1 r 0 rd e n e o' !verity." One moment Mary gazed dumfound- ed on her murdered innocent; the next she flew at the botanist tooth and claw. She pommeled him, and he tried to ward off the blows, too astounded for !words. But at length he got his arms firmly about ber, dragged her to the door, thrust her violently without and turned the key. The child screamed and thumped on the panels a few min- utes, desisted suddenly and was heard going sobbing up stairs. "She is a wildcat," said the botan- ist, moving back to the table, with his heart palpitating a little. "I must break and form her. Thank God, I have never been married! A child Is irreconcilable with any principle of economics. 1 must mold her inexora- bly. I am bound to her dead parents, but not to their degenerative system. She has been spoiled, especially by ber mother." His thoughts swerved with a jerk. They ran to—and embraced shall we say?—a rag of yellow- ribbon under lock and key in his desk over there. "She is wonderfully like Lucy," he murmured and went on with his work. which he found a little savoriess. Presently came a tap at the door, a timid one, and after an interval an- other. The botanist -fame to himself through an algebraic formula and went and opened it. Outside stood Mary, blowzed and repentant. "Please," she said, "I'nl good now." "I'm glad to hear it." "Please may I have Eunice?" "That barbarous fetich? Certainly not!" For an instant Mary's expression seemed to forbode a resumption of the old business. Then she pent a piteous glance in the direction of the disinur bered idol, still lying where it had fallen, and her throat swelled like a widowed bird's recalling, lovesick, the tunefulness of the merry springtime. "May I do my task?" she said, with a weeping courage. "You can try to make amends, but I won't have you here. I am very much displeased." Mary, pathetically forlorn, took book and paper and retreated. At the door she put up a trembling Hp. "Will you kiss me?" The botanist expiated his blush with a burnt offering of anger. "Go away," he said. "I am displeased, I tell you." But when Mary had departed lie felt badly at ease. He was conscious of a maggot in his brain and likened his head to an oak apple. After lunch he went out for a walk, and when lie re- turned Eunice had vanished, and the house seemed cold and dull. Toward evening rain drummed on the windows, and after dinner, restless and dissatisfied, he stood looking out into the dreary garden. It was"shad- owy no light there, and the black, wet ground shone like eelskin. But under - the laburnum in the far corner was a broad splotch of whiteness. Suddenly his breath caught like a kink in a running reel. He stood a moment, then stole to the bell. "God! God!" he muttered as he rang it in scared fashion. "What is that?" he said to the sere• ant who appeared. The girl looked and gave a cry. "It's Miss Mary!" she said and ran into the rain, pursued by the botanist. They found the child soaked, sitting in her nightdress and very drowsy. "Take her—you," whispered the bot- anist. "I am not even worthy to be a first principle." The girl carried the child swiftly in- to the sitting room. "Light the gas," she said impatient- ly and veils meekly obeyed. Then in a moment the botanist rush: ed at the child, slapped and shook her and seemed to go mad. "Let her be, you devil!" cried the girl, struggling to defend her charge. but the botanist took no notice of her. for Mary opened her eyes. "What have you eaten?" he shrieked, and Mary murmured, "A yellow bee's egg." Then the botanist seemed to go stark crazy. "Get mustard, smelling salts, colli water!" he yelled. "Tickle her throat! Keep her awake! Fetch the battery!" "Battery yourself!" snapped the girl .defiantly. "You fool, she's eaten poison—la- burnum seeds! She'll die!" That was only an expression of opin- ion, for five hours later the botanist was talking to Mary quite humbly and wistfully as she lay in bed. "And—and what made you do it. Mary?" "It was when 1 came back from burying Eunice, guardian, and there was nobody left, and then I remem- bered the paper that you wrote about the cittishine and that you — you wouldn't"— "Call it yellow bees, Mary, or golden rain and call me uncle, Mary. And you shall have another doll tomorrow, half as big as yourself, efflorescent and serrated like a Dresden shep- herdess, and—and"— The botanist bent a moment and left the room hurriedly. "He's made my face wet," thought Mary. "But, darling Eunice—well, she was a rickety child, after all, poor dear." And in the darkness of his study the botanist was murmuring: "Lucy! Lucy!"—Pall Mall Magazine. The Word Tip. The word is old in the language, at least of slang, meaning a gift or loan. "Tip me your daddle" or "tip us your flipper" (give me your hand), "tip me a hog" (give me a shilling), "tip him a wink" (or a gleg")—these are all of common parlance and have been so, at any rate, since an earlier date than 1785, when some of them, as well as some others, were recorded by Grose In his classical Dictionary of the Vul- gar Tongue." Dr. Johnson gives: "To tip—to give; a low cant term. Dry- den." A "tip" meant also "a draft," or, as we should now say, "a drink," also recorded by Grose. This may very probably have come from another source. In the seventeenth century lwift wrote: When I saw the keeper frown, Tipping him with half a crown, Now, said I, we are alone. —Notes and Queries. Qtefek at a Hint.

Improve Your Home Grounds this Spring. There are few persons who do not appreciate the beauties of nature, more or less. Few who can with- stand the attractions of a good and beautiful home. As a duty of every citizen not only to himself and family, but all who come in contact with his influence, he should endeavor to make his home what a true home should be, a place where contentment. reigns supreme. In ho way can a place be made attractive iu appearanee or be enhanced more in value than by the expenditure of a little time (not al- ways money) in endeavoring to beautify it, by taking advantage of nature. Each individual can ac- complish this at a much less expense and with a greater amount of satis- faction to himself than if left to any village council, however careful it may be. Tastes differ. No two of us are alike. But by going at it with a little interest in the work, and pos- sibly a good suggestion from some older or more enthusiastic head, you will count it a pleasure every time you have occasion to look upon the effort put forth. If a thing is' worth doing it is worth doing well, and hence before starting in a haphazard manner. study the questionlittle. What trees, vines, shrubs, etc , will do -best here or there and also give the most pleasing re- sults? Figure ou ronin enough, for they will be targe some day. There are few placef that cannot be touched up some and many that will stand considerable, and now is the time to plan on it. Improvements of this nature have a great deal to do with the prosperity of any place. The value of surrounding trees, etc., af- fects not only their local position and neighborhood, but all who come in contact with their influence. Hence we might say they ate public property or should he regarded as such. Shall' it not be said of 1 our city, "What a pretty place?" It lies within your power to make it such. If each will but lift a little on the wheel it will speed along rapidly towards that destieatiotl. You cannot begin too soon to plan on decorating your home grounds. Try it and see if this does not increase the interest in your home, in your neighbor's home, in your village, in the welfare of the community in general. Having that s,,irit at heart success cannot but favor your efforts, for "in unity there is strength." G. W. STRAND, Secretary State Forestry Association. In Memoriam At a meeting of the rector and vestry of St. Luke's Church on Mon- day evening the following resolu- tions were adopted: Inasmuch as it has pleased Almighty God to give his rest to the soul of our be- loved shepherd, b1ahlon N. Gilbert, the bishop coadjutor of this diocese; It is the wish of the rector, wardens, and vestrymen of St. Luke's Parish, Hastings, to place.on record this token of their sorrow and sympathy. Endeared to this parish Jay his faithful interest and loving watchfulness,• bound close to the hearts of tach and every member by his magnetic sympathy, his loss is the more keenly felt because of his free bestowal of these excellent virtues without any lessening whatever as the cares and duties of his sacred office accumulated and demanded more and more as the years rolled on of his time and patience. His greatest charm•lay in his absolute forgetfulness of self under the most trying circumstances and in the whole- heartedness with which he entered into every project for the building up of the kingdom of Christ amongst mankind. His life will ever remain in the parish as an inspiration to young and old to spur them on to greater faithfulness and greater usefulness. It is further the wish of the rector, wardens, and vestrymen to express their deepest and sincerest sympathy with Mrs. Gilbert in her hour of sadness, with the assurance that their prayers do' arise to God to giv'e'her that peace and that com- fort which he alone knows best how to give. Departed this life March 25t11, 1900, Mr. A. J. W.mpso ho n - junior warden T � o of this parish. His associates on the vestry in sorrow and sy mpathy place on record this testi- mony of their loss and the loss to the parish. The long years of his service as vestry- man and warden. through which his un- flagging zeal and unfailing interest in the affairs of the parish made him serviceable on all occasions, endeared him to us. Mature judgment and calm deliberation characterized his life, caused his counsel to be valued, and render our loss the greater. To his family we tender in sorrow our sympathy; with them we share the com- fort given bye- the knowledge that his gentle christian 'character insures him eternal peace. • All of the new machinery lately placed in the binder twine plant at the prison was started in operation Thursday, and the output now amounts to thirty-seven thousand pounds of twine per day. Owing to the increase of capacity a number of men who have been employed in the shoe factory have been transferred to the twine shops.—Stillwater Mes- senger.

Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, II1., makes the statement, that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her family phy- sician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Dis- covery for consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefitted from first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles, found herself sound and well; now does her own housework, and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this Great Dis- covery, at S. B.

In the "Life of Archbishop Benson" by his sons occurs the entertaining and extremely suggestive passage: I shall never forget a conversation between the embassador of a foreign power and my father. The former was dining at Lambeth, a genial, intelli- gent man, very solicitous to be thor- oughly in touch with the social life of the country to which he bad been ac- credited. After dinner the embassa- dor, in full diplomatic uniform, with a ribbon and stars, sitting next to my father, said politely: "Does your grace reside much in the country?" My father said that as archbishop he was provided with a country house and that he was there as much as possible, as he preferred the country to the town. "Now, does your grace go to church in the country?" with an air of genial inquiry, turning round in his chair. "Yes, indeed!" said my father. "We have a beautiful church almost in the park, which the village people all go to." "Yes," said the embassador medita- tively, "yes, I always go to church self in the country. It is a good thing to show sympathy with religious feel- ing; it is the one thing which combats socialistic ideas. I think you are very wise, your grace, to go." -_ My father said that he felt as if he and the embassador were the two au- gurs as represented in Punch. "I did my best," said my father, "to persuade him that I was a Christian. but he listened to all that I said with a charming expression, implying, 'We are then of the world and understand each other.' I am sure that he thought that I was'speaking diplomatically and in purely conventional language, and that if we had known each other better I should have thrown off the mask and avowed myself as free a thinker as he." Gems of America. Every gem known to the lapidary has been found within our borders ex- cept that form of chrysoberyl known as alexandrite, a stone most commonly found in the Urals and showing green by day and red by artificial light. We have also found but few of the vari- colored garnets of which Russia fur- nishes such remarkable and beautiful examples and none that have their brilliancy, though the red garnets of Arizona and contiguous territory are unsurpassed in richness. We have sev- eral gems, moreover, that are almost peculiar in this country and that should be used more extensively be- cause of their intrinsic beauty. Such are the golden beryls of Connecticut, that are of a brilliant yellow, full of light and sparkle, and the curious chlo- rastrolites and thomsonites of Lake Superior, that are useful as green or mottled grounds in the making of de- signs. Among the lesser known but inter- esting and often beautiful minerals that are found in this country and that lend themselves to purposes of orna- mentation are the grass green hidde- nite, the superior of emerald in vivaci- ty; the duller green diopside, the utal- hite, which is a rival of turquoise if It can be made to keep its color and tex- ture; the zircon, of red and brown, and especially the tourmaline, which pre- sents a wide range of color, from jet black to almost water white, and in- cluding pink, brown, blue and almost every shade of green.—Brooklyn Eagle. Lively Barometers. It looked like rain, and naturally he had no umbrella. The car stopped on the far side of Girard avenue, and a young lady got in. She bowed and sat down beside the saunterer, who recognized in her a schoolteacher friend. "What do you think of this beastly weather?" queried he disgruntedly. "Is it going to rain or isn't it?" "I can't tell you today," answered the young lady, smiling an acceptance of whatever might come. "If it were a school day and you were willing to come to school with me, I could tell you in a very few minutes with abso- lute certainty. It'll sound funny to you, but it's true. I have noticed that you can always tell what the weather is going to do by the children. They're regular barometers. If there's going to be a storm, they get restless, and 1 have the hardest kind of work to con- trol them, particularly the boys. The girls aren't so bad, but there seems to be some mysterious quality about ap- proaching rain that always affects the former. I've got so now I don't blame them, because I don't believe they can help it. So, you see," she concluded, as she got at Chestnut street, "chil- dren have their uses after all."—Phila- delphia Inquirer.

Bow Far Apart Bid They Live? "I was at the capitol one day." said a Boston lawyer, "in attendance upon a committee having in charge a bill it which my clients are intere-sted. On the long, leather covered settee near me two southern members were smok- ing and conversing. The following words were jotted down by me ver- batim: "'Majah, I was down among youli people last summer, and I wanted to find Gen'al Blood's plantation, but I got off my road. Where does he live from youh place, majah?' "'Why, colon'', he lives near me, a right smart piece south on the river.' "'Does he live a tight smart smart piece or a right smart right smart piece south, majah?' "'Well, it isn't as far as either of those pieces; just a right smart piece, colon''.' "'Then that must be the reason 1 missed it. I went too far around the river bend.' • "Now, these gentlemen understood each other beyond a doubt. But what I want to know Is, how many miles was it from the major's plantation to the general's? And for the life of me I can't solve the question. It haunted me so that I stumbled two or three times when subsequently making my argument before the committee, cf which these two members formed a part."—Washington Star. sapphires Not All Blue. "It is commonly believed that the sapphire is known only as a gem of a rich velvety blue in color," observed an experienced red dealer in precions stones to the writer the other day. "As a matter of fact, the sapphire occurs in various hues.' In Ceylon, for instance, where the finest specimens of this gem are found, it ranges from the soft vel- vety blue to the peacock blue, gradu ated in the latter to an almost faultless white. It also occurs in whites, greens and yellows, the latter shade being known as the oriental topaz and the green the oriental emerald. "The white sapphires are often found clouded or streaked with blue, so that many specimens are cut which are white when looked at transversely, but having a bit of fine blue tint on the un der point. Then there is the red sap phire, or Ceylon ruby. It is valued as highly as the finest Burmese rubies. Those most highly prized are of rich pigeon blood or rose red color. "Some very fine sapphires have been found in Montana during the past tea years. The American gems are Tight blue, blue green, green and pink, but the deep blue and red stones, which are chiefly in demand as jewels, have so far never been discovered in any part of this country."—Washington Star. A Safe Risk. She—Are you superstitious? He—No; I think not. But why do you ask? She—I was going to get you a pocket- knife for a birthday present, but some one told me the gift of anything sharp cuts friendship. He—Oh, I'll risk it. I'm sure no knife selected by a woman would cut any- thing.—Chicago News. Costly Wall Paper. The most costly wall paper ever de- signed is metaled and lacquered, the lacquer preventing the metal from be- coming tarnished by the atmosphere. The paper, which, unlike the cheaper wall papers, is hung horizontally, and not perpendicularly, is made in length of 12 yards and costs not less than $60 per piece. Such a cost seems enormous when one considers that the cheap wall pa- pers hung in cottages cost something like 6 to 8 cents apiece. The designs, however, for these expensive papers are by the leading artists of the day, N.Ivho receive heavy fees, and the cost of metaling and lacquet'ing is really enormous, so that the profit on a wall paper sold at $5 per yard is, after all, not very great. Ordinary hand painted wall papers cost anything from $10 to $20 apiece. Of course, these patterns are very thick, and have to be affixed to the wall with a solution of glue and paste. It is interesting to note, however, that very often the papers are mounted on calico and placed upon the wall in such a way that when the tenant moves to another house or flat, he may take this costly wall paper with him.—Every- body's Magazine. Actors' Names. Actors have consistently followed writers in appearing before the public under their real names in the last quar- ter of a century. Some of the older ones have been unable to throw off their disguises, it is true, but those who go on the stage nowadays seldom seek after a nom de theatre. When the leading British actor received the accolade, he became Sir Henry Irving, not Sir John Henry Brodrib. But, then, he belongs to the old school. Other old timers: William J. Florence, known when a youth as Barney Conlin; John T. Raymond, who was plain Jack O'Brien in his teens; Lawrence P. Bar- rett, who was Larry Brannigan; E. A. Sothern, the elder, baptized Douglas Stewart. Richard Mansfield was born Richard Rudersdorff, and Ada Rehan's father was named Crehan, but you may run over the entire list of actors and ac- tressds of today and find few others who are known by assumed names.— New York Press. Mountains of Salt. Sardinia is the place where almost all the salt, which is a state monopoly, consumed in Italy is produced. It comes from near Cagliari, where for several miles there is nothing but salt to be seen—in pyramids, mounds, a1 - most mountains. For this work about 3,000 men are employed, most of whom are convicts. The wages range from 20 cents to $1 a day, according to the work, of which the convicts receive only half. However, they succeed sometimes in leaving their prison with enough savings to enable them to start anew honestly, often becoming in their old age respectable, responsible per- sons. The salt works produce about 200,000 tons yearly.—San Francisco Ar- gonaut. BATTLE COURAGE. In Action the Animal Nature .Takes Full Po ion of Man. At home, in a progressive communi- ty, a man may be a coal heaver or a bank clerk; but, whatever his station, the environment of civilizing Influence is strong upon him, and most of his chances for the display of courage come to the moral side of his nature. But out in the open, with most of the trammels cast off and the enemy in front, with the tipple of the colors about him and, more than all, the feel- ing that comes from companionship in a common danger with many of his fellows, it is the animal that gains su- premacy. And man, being by nature a brave and fearless animal—the most fearless of all the animal species—sim- ply remains true to his birthright and goes through the ordeal to the natural way. What can be the deduction? There is only one. It is that battle gallantry and battle brutality, springing as they both do from the same source, must necessarily be allied. You cannot slip the leash of a bloodhound and stop him half way to his scent. If any proof were needed. to make the fact of in- herent bravery and—the other thing— certain it is to be found in the marvel- ous change in face, manner and even speech that comes over nearly every man when he is engaged in battle. It may be urged that the excitement of being under fire would be sufficient reason for this callousness, but such an explanation will not account for the entire subversion of a man's whole life training. The real reason is that at such times It is the animal nature that takes full and complete possession of the human body.—Chicago Times -Her- ald. His First Earnings. A -few years ago a large party, head- ed by the Duke of Norfolk, went on a tour through the continent. The duke busted himself very much on the jour- ney in a kind hearted way about the welfare of every one in the party. At every station be used to get out and go round to see if he could do anything for any one. One old woman, who did not know him, when she arrived at last in Rome, tired and hot, found great difficulty in getting a porter. So•she seized on the duke. "Now, my good man," she said, "I've noticed you at all these stations loafing about. Just make yourself useful for once in your life. Take my bag and find me a cab." The duke mildly did as he was bid and was rewarded with a sixpence. "Thank you, madam," he said. "I shall prize this, indeed! It is the first coin I have ever earned in my life." The Public and Opera. There is a general opinion that the stockholders support the opera, and that the general public may consider itself highly privileged to be admitted at all to the sacred precincts. As a matter of tact, if the opera depended for its existence upon the support of the stockholders, the doors of the Metropolitan Opera House would never be open. The bottom would drop out of the whole enterprise. The parquet and the galleries are the manager's chief reliance. Opera is not a social function; it is a public institution, and without the public's support would col- lapse like a house of cards.—Ainslee's Magazine. Jastisable.

J. Pearson. Chinese Theaters, The Chinese are remarkably fond of the drama, and consequently every vil- lage has its stage. In this way the people are educated in the past history of their nation. The stage arrange- ments are about on a par with those which existed in England at the time of Shakespeare. There is no scenery, and consequently the success of the piece depends entirely on the acting. which is remarkably good. Actresses do not exist in China, for since, some centuries ago, an emperor married an actress they have not been allowed. Women's parts are taken by boys, who excel in their imitations of women's voices. gait and general de- portment. Perhaps it is their theatrical repre- sentations which render Chinamen so content with rural life. At any rate, instead of crowding into towns from the country they are happy to work on the land, which supplies them with all that is needful for food and clothing. There are no native factories, Indus- tries being still in the cottage stage, and agriculture employs more people than any sort of trade.—Collier's Week- ly. Thayer and Bryan. When William Jennings Bryan first went to Nebraska, he was hired to take the stump against Thayer, who was running for governor. and said some hard things against the candidate. "Ti..,, er was elected," Bryan Is quoted as saying in the Chicago Times -Her- ald. "After he took the governor's chair he was called to be toastmaster at a banquet at which I was set down for a speech. I did not care to go to that banquet. I did not wish to meet the governor i remembered all that I had said of him, and I felt cheap. But I went and sat there through the early proceedings quite uncomfortable. "Finally it came time for the govern- or to call upon me. He rose from his seat, with programme before him, and slowly said, 'Mr. Bryan—Bryan.' Then he slowly turned his eyes upon me and addressed me, 'Do you speak or sing?' "That is all I ever beard from Gov- ernor Thayer as to what he thought of my campaign i n s caches against him." p g How Justice Was Tempered. Tact in the management of your judge is a great thing. A certain well known British treasury counsel was driving over Blackfriars bridge one day on his way to Surrey sessions. No- ticing Sir Peter Edlin trudging along in the mud and rain, be instantly stop- ped his hansom and offered the judge a "lift." It was accepted, and the pair proceeded to Newington in great am- ity. Arriving, the learned counsel hur- ried in, as he had an important appli- cation to make or the sitting of the court. To his horror and surprise, the said application was curtly refused. He was dumfounded at the sudden change in the demeanor of the judge until the usher in a husky whisper said: "Do you know what you've done?" "No! What is it?" "Why, you ran in and left the judge to pay for your cab." Versatility. Athletic Applicant—Do you need a strong man? Manager (of a dime museum)—No, I have one.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local arplications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can he taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. Sold by druggists Mc. F. J.

How the Representative of Hie Wife Was Elected. Should you ever happen to visit the department of Trois-Etoiles and men- tion the name of M. Verdavin it is safe betting that your interlocutor, no mat- ter who he may be, will exclaim: "Verdavin! Well, of all the ambi- tious, intriguing men I ever met Ver- davin was the worst!" However, now that the vox popull has pronounced upon my old . friend, permit m p e to have the honor of intro- ducing to you the real Verdavin, that. you may compare him with Verdavin the legendary. Born of honest but not poor parents, Amedee-such was his name -had from his childhood up one single care -to live quietly and cozily on the 30,000 francs a year bequeathed to him by his pa and ma. He had a cheery little town residence, a love of a country house. In spring he made a little trip to Paris; in summer he fished; in au- tumn he shot; in winter there was the club. Nothing could have been pleas- anter. Nevertheless Amedee perceived that something still was lacking in his life. He wanted some one to keep his ac- counts and oversee his expenditures. How was he to get rid of this business which threatened his idleness and pla- cidity. He made up his mind to take a wife. She whom he had chosen was a young girl of candid brow, but full of resolution, a fact which had guided Verdavin in his selection. He bad said to himself, "She will have willn e ough to see after all my business affairs, and I shall be saved any trouble in such matters." • • t;e * • • • • Yon o moon that shone above, round ou d the crown of his hat, had not yet fille her horn six timer after their ma riage when one fine morning my lad summoned her husband, who hasten to her apartments, bearing in his han a package of hooks, to which he wa attaching new lengths of line and gun "What is it, my darling?" • "Amedee, be so good as to listen t me. During the six months of ou married life I have been studying you character and scrutinizing your apt tudes, for you know well that a man o your age and position cannot rust i inglorious idleness." "Why, bless me, Emmie, I though my time was sufficiently occupied. Fo instance, just at this very moment was setting off for the brook, where expected to get you a mess of fish fo dinner that"- "Amedee, be serious, I beg of you, 1 you can. I have been canvassing th whole subject thoroughly in my min and have found the one pursuit" - "But, my dear, when I say that" - "That one pursuit in which now days a man can rise to power and hon or is politics." "Politics! Heaven be praised, never have gone in fir politics, and heaven helping me, madame, I neve will.' "In three weeks there will be an elec- tion in this department. I will -that 1 to say, you will -come forward as candidate." "But, dearest, you have not thought" "Yes, dear, I have thought it over i its every aspect. Indeed I have pre- pared your address to the electors." "The deuce you have!" "Don't swear, Amedee. Swearing of fends scrupulous alone voters. s. D o you think it ia•very agreeable for a woman to spend all her lifetime shut up in this poky old hole, absolutely unknown? The provinces do not make reputa- tions, but they elect deputies. What would I not give to hear people say as 1 t• passed: 'You ou see that pretty little woman In brown? She's the -wife of our representative,' " "Emmie, you are only jesting!" "This, then, is the address you are to issue to the electors,"and she read as follows: "Fellow Citizens -At a time when the well be- ing -nay, the very existence -demands the har- monious union of all patriotic men I feel it my duty to desire an opportunity of combating on the parliamentary field of battle for the regenera- tion f 0 our beloved count What I ry desire -what you must all desire -is order in liberty, with lib- erty in order." There were nearly three columns of this. The next morning there began for the unhappy Verdavin a life the hor- rors of which it would, be difficult to retrace. He, the friend of repose, the enemy of emotion! For instance, one day madame said: "Amedee, I have -drawn up a list of the leading residents of each parish in the constituency. We will call on the most prominent. You will write to the oth- ers." "Seventeen hundred letters! I never could." "You can easily hire secretaries. In hal, an hour we will set off on this in- dispensable journey." For 15 days the only man one seemed to meet on the roads, the steamboats, the cars, was the unhappy Verdavin, the candidate in spite of himself. In the pelting rain, in the broiling sun - everywhere -went be. Every morning his wife drew up the programme for his day's journey; every night he had to bring home to her stood and sitn- eient evideace that he had been at each place he claimed to have visited. Grand outcome, the bronchitis, three Mild sunstrokes an incurable rheuma- tism and a confirmed gastric disease retracted through drinkin prosperity COos e t drinking P y to France with 346 electors daily. "Emmie," he at last gasped like one about to Paint, "I feel that my strength" - "Tomorrow," she said relentlessly, as d y ed d S t. 0 r r 1- f n r r f e d a 1 r cc- s 8 n e - "you will canvass the 47 parishes on this list." And on all sides nothing was heard but exclamations of "What an ambi- tious chap that Verdavin is! Who ever saw any one like him?" "Amedee," she said next day, "your address has not been circulated widely enough. I have had 100,000 extra cop- ies struck off and distributed." "But, dear, printing comes ruinously expensive. This morning only I have paid one bill of sixteen thous" - "You must also manage to have your name mentioned to connection with generous deeds. I haveorderedi six or- gans for as many churches in as many close parishes." "S -I -x o -r -g -a -n -s!" "Yes, and 12 fire engines for villages that are unprotected from the ravages of the destroying element and where there is a large floating vote. Imagine' how gratified the poor people will be!" "But, Emmie, I cannot make ducks and drakes -I mean church organs and parish fire engines -of my fortune." "And do you count it for nothing, then, the glory of being a statesman? Besides, once in politics, you are sure of getting your money back a hundred- fold." "What a devil of a fellow that Ver- davin is!" said the outside world in awestruck amazement and admiration. "He'll spend every franc he has before he'll let himself be beaten." • • • • • • • One pleasant morning -it was just a week before the election - madame aroused at early dawn M. Verdavin, who was still sleeping soundly, not having, indeed, returned from an exhausting journey to the back districts until 2. a. m. "Amedee," she cried, "rouse yourself! The honor of our name has been vilely thrust under foot and trodden in the dust, and you must avenge it." And she handed the unhappy man a news- paper in which he read the following: It is about time to have done with the brazen impudence of the charlatan who is trapesing round our streets and highway. This Verdavin, a fel- low of the baser sort, seeks, but seeks in vain, to conceal his demagogic instincts. He demands "Liberty." We all know what that word means with him. Behind it he prepares an ambuscade for property, the family, religion. This Verdavin, dealer in votes and haunter of low taverns, is nothing more nor less than a scalawag who has not even the courage of his incendiary opinions. "But this is not a11," said his wife and banded hint -.another journal. in which he read: Let the mask be torn off! Our intelligent voters will not let themselves be imposed upon by a Tartuffe of the gutters. Verdavin, a double ender politician and a perfect nullity, pretends to array himself on thei aide of the cause of order. It la under such a guise that the friends of despotism usually do their hellish work. This odious being, whom we will not further pollute our type by naming, hal evidently been hired to complicate the situation by his candidacy. Let the electors rise in their might and sweep from the field thio vain idiot Next morning Verdavin received a sword thrust in the left arm from the Legitimist editor, and the day after- ward one to match In the right arm from the Radical editor. At last the day of the election arriv- ed. Verdavin had conducted his can- vass with unsparing energy; his com- plicated disorders bad given him a corpselike appearance; be had spent three-quarters of his fortune•;- he car- ried both of his arms in slings. But at night the prefect made the official declaration: "Elected-Verdavin, 23,672 votes. * • • * • • • It was a week later when he entered the chamber of deputies. His wife, radiant and rejoicing, was in one of the galleries. He had chosen a seat in the center -order in liberty, as it were. He arrived in the middle of a debate. Precisely at that instant a vote had been taken, and, as he reached the cen- ter of the hall, he heard the president declaring that, inasmuch as it was lit- erally honeycombed with fraudulent practices, the assembly thereby inval- idated the election of M. Verdavin. M. Verdavin fainted. * • • • • • • Mme. Verdavin has brought an ac- tion for separation and the manage- ment of her own estate. The bill al- leges that the aforesaid Amedee Ver- davin is hopelessly possessed with the mania of political ambition. And the public say of his wife. "Poor little woman, it is a wonder she didn't bring her action sooner. That con- founded idiot must have spent three- quarters rs of her fortune with his sense- less ideas of ambition." -Translated From the French For Argonaut. A Bismarck Story. In M, Georges Michel's life of the late M. Leon Say some of the econo- mist's letters are reproduced, and among them is one addressed to his wife describing the reception by Bis- marck at Versailles of the war fine of £8,000,000 that Paris had to pay. M. Leon Say was one of the commission- ers sent with the money in bank notes to hand it over to German commission- ers in Bismarck's s presence. c The LS,- 000,000 was counted on a billiard ta- ble. When this was done, a receipt was shown to M. Say and then placed In an envelope which was to c pe be sealed. Tbe seal failing to bite into the wax, Bismarck Impatiently said to the sec- retary, "You do not know your busi- ness." He snatched the seal from him, rub- bed it for a short time on the hair of his head and then said, "Try now." The result was a clear impression. They All Like School.

A PARTIALLY OBEYED ORDER The Reporter Returned. hut the Mule Was a Total Loss. IiarreSn W. Brown of Ohio, who held a responsible place on the staff of Gen- eral Rawlins during the civil war. tells the following story of the general's treatment of an intrusive reporter: "One day before Vicksburg the cor- respondent of a certain paper went to General Rawlins for news. "Tbe general pondered a moment and took -me one side. "'Take this young man,' be said. *up to the top of those trenches within a stone's throw of the enemy. Take him up there and lose him. 1 don't care what happens. Understand?' "I said I did, and we started through the lines. Both of us were mounted. I pointed out a crest overlooking the en- emy and told him be could get a good view from that point. "'Ain't you coming with me?' he asked. "'No,' I replied. '! know all 1 want to know.' "So be started alone. As soon as the top of his hat and the.tips of his mule's ears showed above the crest there came a volley of musketry ten yards wide that cut the air like a big knife blade. The crown of his hat was sliced off as with shears. He managed to drop to the ground In safety, but the persever- ing mule was literally filled with lead. Afterh t e firing the correspond- ent d ent crawled to the spot where 1 was. "'Did you learn what you wanted to know?' I asked. "'Ehr gasped the correspondent. wiping his face and looking g at his hands to see whether they were bloody. 'What 1 wanted to know? Ob, yes. of course. The eneme,are over that ridge all right.' "When we returned to headquarters, General Rawlins saw us and bailed me. I went Inside his tent. "'1 thought i told you to lose that confounded reporter somewhere.' be said testily. "'1 did the best 1 could, sir,' 1 an- swered. 'He cane back. but I have the honor to report the mule a total loss.' "-Saturday Evening Post. A Navajo Superstition, `No Mavajo Indian will ever make a campfire of wood from a tree that was struck by lightning or that might have been. 1f such a fire Is made by an ir- reverent white man, the Indians will retire to a distance, where they cannot feel the heat or smell the smoke, and they will go to sleep in their blankets, fireless and supperless, rather than eat of food prepared on that kind of a tire. Tbe Navajo believes that If be comes within the influence of the flame be will absorb some of the essence of tbe lightning which will thereafter be at- tracted to him and sooner or later will kill him. Up in the mountains more than half the great pines are scarred by lightning, but no wood from them Is used. Almost any old Navajo can nar- rate instances where the neglect of this precaution has resulted disastrous- ly, for men are sometimes killed by lightning in a region where thunder- storms are frequent, and it is but a step from the effect to the cause.

Why Salt Is Commonly Used to Put I Them Out. In accounts of chimney fires it is common to read that the fire was ex- tinguished by throwing salt down the chimney. Salt is used because there is liberated from it when it comes into contact with the fire a gas that within an inclosed space like a chimney is very effective in extinguishing fire. The primary purpose in throwing salt or anything else down a burning chim- ney is to dislodge the burning soot, chimney fires being caused by the igni- tion of the soot clinging tothe inside of the chimney. Salt is used for this purpose not alone because of ,its pecul- iar effectiveness, but also because it is something available for the purpose that can commonly befound at hand In a house. It is thrown down the chimney in such a manner that It will rattle down the sides and by its weight knock 'down the soot and sparks cling- ing to the chhuney's insides. A bucket of sand has been put to the same use with good effect, and some- times a scuttle of coal has been poured down the chimney, the coal bounding about from side to side as it dropped and so doing its work effectively. Sometimes a brick is taken from the chimney itself and, tied to a clothes- line, is hauled op and down the chim- ney, with the same result. At. the hearth below or at the bottom of the chimney wherever the sparks may fall there is stationed a man with a pail of water to put out whatever fire may drop. Water is not played on a c 1m- ney fire from a hose because 1t is not necessary, and the water would do more damage than the fire. The damage caused by a fire in a chimney when it is confined there is nothing or next to nothing. Left alone, however, a chimney fire might work its way into a building and so prove de- structive, and therefore, slight as they may be in themselves or as they might be in their consequences chimney fires a_ a always put out and commonly in the manner described.—Exchange.

The Various Ways In Whieh It May Be Acrompllshed• The various ways a s in which y a cold may be brought on are thus describ- ed by Dr. J. H. Kellogg: "A little knife blade of air blowing 1n through a crack in a window upon some part of the body will chill that part, and the blood vessels -of that region will be- come contracted, affecting somewhere in the interior of the body an area 1n reflex relation with this portion of the surface of the body. "For instance, the blood vessels of the skin of the top of the shoulders and the chest are associated with the blood vessels of the lungs, so that whatever happens to the blood vessels of the skin of the shoulders and chest hap- pens also to the blood vessels of the lungs. If there is a contraction of the blood vessels of the back of the neck, there will be a contraction of the blood vessels of the nose and throat, and if there is a contraction of the blood ves- sels of the top of the shoulders and the shoulder blades there will also be a contraction of the blood vessels of the lungs. When the influence of the cold is continued, this contraction Is followed by congestion. "When one puts his hands into cold water for a few minutes, they are first pale and then red. This le reaction. The longer the application and the more intense the degree of cold the greater will be the contraction and the congestion. So if the back of the neck is exposed for a long time to the influ- ence of cold one is likely to have a cold in the nose and throat. If the shoulder blades and the tops of the shoulders are exposed, p one e 1s likely to take cold in the lungs and suffer from congestion of the lungs. If the cold is long continued, it may cause not only a congestion, but an inflammation of the nose or the lungs. "So if the bottoms of the feet become wet or chilled a weakness of the blad- der may result if there has ever been a trouble there or a weakness of the stomach if there has been a catarrh of that organ."—Good Health. How the Persians Dine. Here is a de8criptiod of a Persian dinner. The feast 1s preceded by pipes, while tea and sweets are handed about. Then the servants of the house appear, bringing in a long leather sheet, which they spread in the middle of the floor. The guests- squat around this, tailor fashion. When all are seat- ed, a fiat loaf of bread is placed before every ons and the music begins to play. The various dishes are brought in on- trays and arranged round the leather sheet at Intervals. The covers are then removed, the Bost says, "Bis- millab" (1n the name of God), and, without another word, they all fall to. —London Globe. Moues Dalt gleam The Indigestible properties of boiled ham, corned beef and other salt meats may, according to Mrs. Parloa, the cooking expert, be eliminated if the meat Is sufficiently boiled. The salt toughens the fibers, and it takes per- sistent boiling to overcome this. The time allowed for a ten pound piece is five hours, but as the pieces are apt to be thick rather than long one of half this weight would need about the same amount of time. The meat should be partly cooled in the water in which it Is boiled. EAGLES AND THEIR PREY. A Giant Bird Whose Race Has Hap- pily Become Extinct. There is at the present moment at the Natural History museum a model of the skull of an eagle so gigantic that the imagination can scarcely fit it into the life of thisP lanet at all. The whole head is larger than that of an ox, and the beak resembles a pair I of hydraulic shears. Unlike most of the giant beasts, this eagle, which in- habited Patagonia, appears from its remains to have differed little from :c ex:sting species. Its size alone distinguishes it. The quills of the feathers which bore this awful raptor 1 through the air must have been as thick as a walking stick and the webs as wide as car blades. It would have killed and torn to pieces creatures as large as a bison and whirled up into the sky and dropped into the rocks the gigantic carapaced animals of prehistoric Patagonia as easily as a modern eagle of California does the land tortoise on which it feeds. Even today there are few carnivo- rous animals, whether birds or beasts, which have so wide a range of prey as the eagles. Like the kinged drag- ons of old story, they eau ravage earth, air and sea and feed promiscu- ouslyon the denizens of all three ele- ments. From serpents on the burning desert to seals on the everlasting ice, from monkeys In the tropical forests to marmots on the Alpine slopes, from dead sheep on highland hills to pea- cocks in the Indian jungles, no form of fish, flesh or fowl comes amiss to them, and the young eagle, driven by the in- exorable law of his race from the home where he was reared, finds a free breakfast table wherever be flies.— Cornhill Magazine. Easily Settled. They fell into conversation on the avenue street car, as men will to pass away the time, and when one of them happened to mention he was from Pittsburg theother turned to him with: "Pittsburg, eh? Dear me, but how singular!" "How do you mean, sir?" was asked. "Why, I was in Pittsburg 21 years ago and lost 10 cents in a street car. I was thinking of the incident just be- fore you spoke to me. I suppose you couldn't inform me wicether the money was ever found, could you?" "Why, yes; I believe I can. I found a dime in a street car about 21 years ago and have been looking for the own- er everin s ce. Here it is. It must be- long to you." "Thanks. You are an honest man. Here's 2 cents to reward you." The Pittsburg man pocketed the re- ward as the other pocketed the dime, and then they closed the incident.— Washineton Post Swelled the Collection. A man came up to me one day after service in a frontier town and was pleased to .ddress me in this manner: "Say, parson, that there service and sermon was grand. I wouldn't have missed 'em for $5." When I suggested that he hand me the difference between the amount he had put in the collection basket and the figure he mentioned for my mis- sionary work, be stopped suddenly, looked at me with his mouth wide open and then slowly pulled from his pock- et $4.90, which he handed to me with- out a word.—Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady in Ladies' Hopae Journal. BABY'S PRETTY CURLS. Palled Them OR Ia n Car and Em- barrassed Her Mamma. A well dressed woman with a beauti- ful baby in her arms attracted the at- tention of all the passengers on a Ger- mantown car. Every one was fasci- nated by the baby's pretty and smiling face and particularly by two golden curls which hung down her cheeks. After awhile the child became nerv- ous and began to tug at one of the curls which protruded from her hood. The woman, presumably her mother, quickly stopped her, but a few mo- ments later she looked out of the win- dow. No sooner was her face turned than the child seized her bonnet with both hands and pulled it off. It offer- er little resistance, but to the astonish- ment of every one on the car the curls came with it, and the supposed golden haired baby showed that in reality its head was without tate semblance of a hair. The child swung the bonnet to and fro and laughingly held it up for the inspection of the other passengers. It was almost a minute before the wom- an turned around. When she saw what the baby had done, her face flushed, and without a word she pick- ed up the child and walked sedately out of the car. When last seen, she was trudging down Spring Garden street with the baby tucked under her arm like a sack of oats, but still hold- ing tightly to the bonnet and cooing, "See my pooty hair?"—Philadelphia Times. Behind the Scenes. "A good many people," said a veter- an stageday, "have manager the other a an idea that beyond the scenes of a stage there is great fun and hilarity and that actors have a jolly sort of time between their appearances before the audience. The fact is a military camp during times of inspection is no more sedate than is the rear of any well regulated stage when the public in front of the footlights is being en- tertained. The shifting of scenes and the proper execution of an intricate play require all the thought that can be given them. All the men and women have all they can do to properly per- form their parts. If a manager is an easy going man, caring little for dis- cipline, he soon gets to the end of his career. You may be sure there is no business that is carried on in a more businesslike way than is the play- house, and when the fun is qn in the front those behind the scenes are care- fully watching to see that no hitch oc- curs and that every one is ready to do his part at the proper time and does it properly when the time comes."— Washington Star Process Batter. Here is a description of "process but- ter:" "This butter is made from old, rancid and useless dairy butter, pur- chased from country store keepers in the states farther west and shipped in old barrels, tobacco pails, shoe boxes, etc., which appetizing mess is put through a process of boiling and reno- vating to remove the nauseating odors and through other treatments which have brought it under the ban,of the pure food laws of several states, after which it is worked over in sweet but- termilk, which gives It temporarily a fairly clean flavor."

A Rockland young man is the owner of a smart rooster and has long enter- tained suspicion that the bird might have inherited gamy characteristics from some long forgotten ancestor. To apply this theory In an actual test he went home the other night, surrepti- tiously conveyed the parlor mirror into the hen pen and held it befdte the gaze of the wondering rooster. The young man was not kept long in suspense as to the bird's fighting qual- ities. After a brief, incredulous glance at the proud reflection in the glass the rooster descended upon the object with spurs set and wrath gleaming from each beadlike eye. There were a crash, a smash and a clatter, and when the dust and feathers cleared away the young sportsman stood, a dismayed spectator, in the center of a pile of ruins formed of broken mirror, slats and pulverized plate glass. He is now satisfied with the rooster, but how he squared himself about the broken mirror is not known --Bangor Whig and Courier. Fairly Good Time. Seated around a Topeka railroad lunch counter the other day were four old Santa Fe engineers. They were telling of fast runs. Three of them had told their stories. "The fastest run I ever made," said the fourth, after lis- tening to the lies of the others, "was between Topeka ai;d Emporia not long ago. It was a bright moonlight night. We were behind when we pulled out of Topeka and had orders to make up all lost time between here and Emporia. After reaching the top of the Pauline hill I pulled the throttle wide open and let her go. The old engine fairly ate up the track. When we stopped at Emporia, 1 looked back a mile or to and saw something black approach ing us. I could not think what it was. I watched it closely. Finally it came up opposite the engine and stopped. It was the shadow of the train."—Kansas City Journal. Loss of Hair From Fright. The expression regarding the effects of trouble that "it is enough to make one's hair turn gray" has, it is com- monly claimed, been often verified. Now it appears that extreme mental emotion may completely scare out the hair. According to a Paris medical Journal, a vigorous peasant with abundant hair, not yet showing gray. saw his small child trampled under a horse's hoofs and was overcome by fright. He trembled and had palpita- tions and a feeling of cold and tension in the face and head. On the follow. ing day the hairs of the head, beard and eyebrows commenced to fall in quantities, so that after eight days he was absolutely bald. In a few weeks a new growth of hair put in an ap- pearance. Experiments fa Dreams. Psychologists have undertaken the scientific study of dreams. When the olfactory sense of a sleeper is stimu- lated by an odor, such as that of helio- trope, not only does he dream of "smell- ing violets," but visual images of flow- ers appear to him. If the experiment is prolonged, the dream visions become complex and filled with strange image- ry. A vibrating tuning fork held near a sleeper's ear made him dream of a lion roaring, and when a little salt and water were put on his tongue he dream- ed that he was eating oliva. ---Youth's Companion. • MIpNesoT.A IISTG ICAL sOCJE1-y. 81 per Year In .thanes. 82 per Year 11 not in Advauce,— • THE BROOKLET. silver brooklet, flowing clear, Forever speeding past me here, I stand and ponder on thy flow; Whence comest thou?

ROYAL NAMES A HOODOO. One of the Strongest Superstitions of the English Navy. One of the very strongest and most ineffaceable of all superstitions in the royal navy, a superstition that Is al- most as strung today as ever it was, is that vessels bearing the names of roy- al personages are doomed to 111 luck, and, strange as it may seem, there is an undeniable historic basis for this feeling. Some of the most terrible disasters ever known in connection with our na- vy have concerned war vessels with royal names. Two vessels called the Royal James came to disastrous ends. One of them exploded, and some 800 officers and seamen perished. The oth- er ship so named was actually carried out of the mouth of the Thames by the Dutch Admiral de Ruyter under cir- cumstances disgraceful to those in charge of the craft. Then there is the forever memorable disaster to the Royal George, an un- lucky ship previously, that turned over and sank in sight of crowds at Spit - head, over 1,000 souls, among whom were 300 women, being sacrificed. And second only to this hideous disaster is that which afterward befell the Royal Charlotte, which, after a career of much vicissitude, was consumed by fire off Leghorn, over 800 of the very flower of the navy perishing with her. When in 1893 the Victoria, a new vessel and the very triumph of modern invention so far as naval architecture went, was rammed and sank at once in sight of the whole fleet and when hundreds of lives were lost, there was not a sailor, however matter of fact he might be, who did not remember the dire fate of the royally named craft. These instances are only the greater ones. A score of smaller ones are reel- ed off by every royal navy man.—Tit- Bits. Paid For His Joke. The editor is fond of aj oke and bas the good sense to appreciate one at his own eSpense. A few weeks ago he was walking with a friend, and at the corner of a busy thoroughfare he saw a Siispidated looking Hibernian standing at the opposite corner gaziug listlessly into vacancy. "Watch me surprise this old fellow," said he to his friend. "Look right into his face and see if it won't be a study." A second later they were abreast of the son of Erin, and the editor pulled out a silver coin and said as be thrust it into the man's hand: "Here's that halfia crown I owe you. Now, don't go round any more telling people that I don't pay my debts." For a second the man's face was a study. He was amazed at the unlook- ed for kindness, and then, as its pur- port dawned on him, be raised his hat and said: "Heaven bless yer 'owner! I'll never say another word ag'in ye. But," and his eyes twinkled merrily. "are ye sure it wasn't a crown ye owed me?" The friend roared: "Oh, pay the man in full! Don't try to beat him out of a paltry half crown." The Irishman got his crown, but the editor no Longer pays his debts at sight vow.—London Telegraph. Used Olive Oil. A mistress before going out told her negro cook to fry some Saratoga chips in olive oil. The first thing that greet- ed the mistress upon her return was an unrecognizable and awful odor that penetrated every cranny of the flat. Rushing to the kitchen, the mistress found the chips sizzling away in a pan full of what proved to be vinegar. "But I told you olive oil!" cried the mistress. "Yes, ma'am, I know, ma'am," re- turned the cook, who, by the way, can read and write and is "up" upon mat- ters of geography and history. "But, you see, ma'am, I didn't know what it W8ra, and I saw that bottle there," pointing to a jar of olives, "and I just poured the stuff out of that over the potatoes. I s'posed that where there was olives there must be olive oil."— New York Sun. Carious Facts About Coal. Australian soft or bituminous coal produces twice as much gas as Euro- pean or American coal.

More important even than this is the order that- no c$eck can be drawn in payment of a war- rant, nor can the commissioners authorize any payment to be made on or from any fund overdrawn. If a certain fund is overdrawn and a war- rant is issued against that fund, the treasurer must indorse on the back of the warrant, not paid for lack of funds. ' The local bank will cash the warrant and charge six per cent to the county until the warrant is taken up. It has been the custom in many counties, it is said, to pay out indis- criminately from the various funds and balance at the end of the year. To pay a warrant out of a fund when it is drawn on another fund that is overdrawn is looked upon as a mis- appropriation and must stop. Such, at any rate, are the orders in this county.—Anoka Special to Minneap olio Journal. Senator Schaller, of Hastings, is being boomed by certain papers as a democratic candidate for congress in the third district. These papers have probably overlooked the fact that Mr. Schaller's term as state senator does not expire for about two years and nine tnonths yet, and that under the constitution he is prohibited from holding "any office under the - authority of the United States or the state of Minnesota, except that of postmaster, until the expiration of Paul Tinsoe. E. J. Huspelby, engineer of the Lafayette Lamb, who was severely injured in the Milwaukee short line collision at Hastings, Mar. 28th, is not recovering rapidly.

His stomach has refused to retain solid food and he still spits blood, indicating severe in- ternal injuries. —StiliFater Gazette, 9th. Randolph Items. Miss Victoria Lundin is on the sick list. E. A.

There is only one way to euro deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by Catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send foi"circulars free. Sold by druggists 75c. F. J.

Have yon seen the locomotive as she struggles up the elope, Panting, blowing, shrieking onward, like a trav- eler spurred by hope, Onward, upward, ever pressing, like a being with a soul? But the power that propels her is a shovelful of coal. Till, at last, she's reached the summit, then adown the hillside flies, Wheel another mighty mountain starts its jour- ney to the skies; Now no effort, swiftly downward,, gently o'er each grassy knoll, Still she now and then is calling for a shovelful of coal. So in lite we upward journey, up life's trouble- some ascent, To the Mecca we are seeking, earnestly our Leet are bent, But the journey would be lighter, sooner we • would reach the goal, If, as fiercely onward pressing, we would shovel in the coal. True, some 'early struggle upward till they reach the mountain height, Then perhaps lie idly waiting where the journey is more light, Till again they reach the bottom, but the fellow on the roll Of the mighty is the fellow who keeps shoveling the coal.

Deli -alley rose, furious, his ey e- brow4 contracted, his mouth drawn. "I tell you this marriage ,shall not take place!" he said. . "And I 'swear it shall!" cried Andre, with only a shade less of determina- tion in his face and voice. But the old man paid no attention to his son's words and continued: — "It is the most outrageous thing 1 ever heard of! A boy whose education has been what yours has, upon whom no expense has been spared, who for 20 years has been my constant thought, to be so utterly lacking in every feel- ing of gratitude! Just -at the very mo- ment when I have made plans for your future you announce to me that you in- tend to marry the girl of your choice! And what a choice! A girl without a penny!" "But you do not believe money to be the only consideration In marriage, do you?" said Andre, striving to be calm. "It seems to me that happiness enters in somewhere. and if I can be happy 4 f with no one. but Noemie"— M. Delvalley burst into a loud, exas- , gPrating laugh. t "That is'too good! He can be happy with no one but his Noemie, a person of 9hose existence he • was ignorant monjh before last!" r - "But, father"— "Enough! The tone in which this word was pro- nounced convinced Andre that his fa- ther's decision was iuflexible. He was accustomed to bow to the will of a despotic father, just as he had seen his jmother yield until her death. In his childhood he and his mother bad been companions, and often together they had bent their heads to the fury of a domestic occurrence; not that M. Del - valley was a bad man. He was, quick tempered, but usually repented his out- bursts and tried to make amends when he saw the effect of his hard words. Before he was very old Andre had seen that the family life of his mother and father was not a happy one, though he did not know to what to attribute the state of affairs.' Since his mother's death he had simply given in to his fa- ther when any question of disagree- ment had come between them, and un- til now they had lived comfortably.to- gether. • The next day Andre returned to the charge. "I believe if you knew what an un- happy night I passed, father"— "Enough, I say!" cried the old man, not allowing him to complete. his sen- tence. "I tell you I will never give my consent to the marriage! A girl with- out a penny!" "I would not ask for your consent 41t all if she had not refused to marry me without it!" exclaimed Andre hotly. "Oh, you would not!" M. Delvalley laughed. "And, pray, where would you live and what would you do to support your wife?" "I could find something," replied the young man in a tone which made his father say more gently than be had yet spoken: "I am convinced that this girl and her relations are after your fortune. i ' You met them at a,, summer hotel. They found out who you were and thought you would be a good 'catch' and have proceeded tq catch you." "If you would only listen to me, fa- ther, I could convince you of Noemie's sincerity." Without replying to his son M. Del - valley went • on: "As you can't take are of yourself; I must take Bare of you. Where do these Durands live?" "At 27 Rue Nollet." "Rue Nollet! And you say they are not after your money!" M. Delvalley said as he left his son. He returned in a few moments, a paper in his hand, i which he read in a loud voice: "Mme. Durand, 27 Rue Nollet: "I formally refuse my consent to the marriage of my eon Andre and your daughter and inform ou that if the event takes place I shall abso- lutely disinherit my son. DELVALLEY," He rang the bell, and a servant ap- peared. "Send this telegram at once," he said. Andre made a move to follow the serv- ant from the room, but after a glance at his father he restrained, iimself. The Old man waited until the servant had bad time to leave the house and then retired to his study, leaving Andre alone. The unhappy young man sat think - 1 g of his misery for some time. The li *ords of Noemie spoken the night be- fore came back to him. She had been lio full of confidence, while he wap doubtful enough of his father's )kap- proval. "When he knows how much we love each other, he will consent," she had said. "But if he refuses?" Andre had ask- ed. "Then it must be goodby for us, be- cause I can never let you ruin yourself for me." And in spite of pleadings and arguments she had remained firm. 0.,-,0„4,#„.4.#,66.0.**It-ftit*Nkiftlkittit#,66 I RI COFF Used in Million of Homes! Accept no substitute ! .

MONTGOMERY WARD & CO., 3tiehigaa Av. le Madison St-, Chicago: "Poor Noemie!" he thought. "How will she feel when she reads the tele- gram? And her Aunt Rose, who con- sidered the marriage already made. She used to tell us when we feared to tell father that we had no cause to wor- ry, that everything would come out as we warited k, that she had a magic charm which she could apply, if neces- sary, at thelast minute,aud that charm a secret. What will she say now? Why not g� and find out and give ber- m chance to try it?" Andre sprang up, seized his hat and ran from the house. "Well," said Noemie, "what news?" She had not yet received the tele- gram. "The very worst," said Andre. "He refuses and threatens to disint7erit me. But, dearest, you will marry me any- way. I can find something to do and we will at least have each other.' Noemiei was very much in love, and her good resolutions began to waver before the strength of her lover's de- sire. They were talking despondently when the door opened, and a pretty, elderly woman entered the room. "Dear me, how unhappy you look!" she said. "What is the matter?" "M. Delvalley has refused his con- sent," said Noemie. "Indeed! d. Well It would be funny if it were not so sad." "Aunt Rose, bow can you!" murmur- ed Noemie. 'It is rather tferious, madame," said Andre. "He bas sent a telegram, but it has not come yet." But still Aunt Rose smiled. "Stay here until I come back, Andrei I am going to try my little fairy charm as a last resort." All afternoon the two young people sat disconsolately together, waiting for the telegram and for Aunt Rose. What 'Wad become of his father's dis tch? Andre could not imagine. At la t, long after the time it should have come, the maid entered with the formidable en- velope. Noemie took it and was about to open it when Andre said: "Tear it up without reading it. We know what it says." "I want to see bow it looks," replied Noemie. As she read a wave of color swept across her face. "Andre," she cried, "there is some £f9take! Listen to this: "I have the honor to ask the hand of Mlle. Noemie Durand for my son Andre. I will call et your convenience. Respectfully, "Is it possible that Aunt Rose has succeeded?" cried Andre, beside him- self with joy. "It must be that. But what means did she employ—what is her secret?" It was a long time before they found out, and then Andre overhead a con- versation not meant for his ears. "I was right, was I not, to keep my faith in your good heart and to inter- cept that first dispatch before I went to see you?" asked Aunt Rose In a voice that Andre had never betird her make so soft and tender i nton . . "Ah, Rose," R e,, res ceded M. D elrai e p 1 y in a voice stranger still to the listener, "how could I know that the girl of An- dre's choice was your niece? Toink that 1 was about to separate thlilL as your father separated us, because I was then poor; that they would have suffered all that I suffered in giving you up and in thinking of you all these years! And now that we are united at last you will not refuse"— But suddenly Andre realized that be was listening and crept softly away.— Chicago News. Te EY RE CLEAN GOODS CLEAR THROUGH.

Fainly, I say, because of the very intense still- ness which should woo It, but does not, as you are infused to -it. Your guide Iles motionless, only his heavy breath- iing denoting that he is alive. It is sec- ond nature to him to sleep in to heart of the wilderness, and his tired body no more than touches the sweet scent- ed pine boughs when he slumbers. It will be so with you when you have accustomed yourself to the preternat- ural quiet so different from the rumble of passing vehicles over paved streets and which affects you not. But tonight your eyelids are opened wide, and in- stead of trie blissful forgetfulness which you anticipated, your every sense is on the alert to catch and di- vine the meaning of the strange noises which fill the woods of northern Maine. ; In front of your rude camp, which Is left open, the smoldering fire smokes and crackles, each snap of charred em- bers sounding to your ears like the re- port of artillery. It is a strange sensa- tion, this first night in the woods. Away up on the mountain side, a fox barks. The weird howl echoes and re-echoes down the mountain side un- til it seems to reach the lake and float over its glasslike surface until it -.is - swallowed up iu the dark water. A night owl makes bold to disturb your already troubled mind by perch- ing on a big pine not a hundred feet away and sending forth a screech that curdles your blood until you realize what it really is. Directly back of you Is the lake shore. Suddenly comes a soft tread over dried brush. Surely some one is steal- ing up to your camp. You rise to a sit- ting position and await the marauder's next move. Then once more you hear the snap, snap, snap of his feet as he cautiously draws near.' Louder and louder, you cannot ` be mistaken this time; this is no trick of the imagina- tion. Now he must be directly beside you, with nothing but a wall of boughs be- tween. You can stand it no longer, and, with a half suppressed yell of ex- citement, you seize your gun, spring to your feet, dash aside the light canvas that falls over the front of The camp just enough to keep out the smoke find run out prepared to shoot on sight. There is a mad scramble, a crackling of twigs, a mad splash, and—the head of a very badly frightened muskrat can just be seen on the lake's surface as it frantilelly pushes its way into the gibem. You creep softly back to your boughs rather ashamed at yourself and glance furtively at the guide, who sleeps peacefully through it all. At last na- ture asserts herself and gradually you feel the drowsiness of approaching slumber steal over you. You slightly resist -our head to take one last look at that flickering log that splutters away outside. Hist! What's that? Two fiery eyes set in the framework of impenetrable gloom beyond the fire seem staring di- rectly., at you. Like coals, they burn and the words of your guide, "Oh, yes, thar's plenty of bar ro'n yere," come back to you with awful import. Then you hear the tread of his cushion padded feet moving here and there, but those awful eyes never once turn from you. They burn you with their hypnotic, baleful glare, and with a calmness you would not have believed you possessed, you softly reach for your rifle. A muskrat may be a joke, but a bun- - bear prowling within 20 feet of you is an unsafe guest. You know yon are as white as a sheet, and your hands tremble as you bring the piece to your shoulder and aim directly between those awful greenish yellow eyes. Sup- pose you miss; but, no, you • will not. Your finger presses the trigger. The roar of your rifle sounds like a clap of thunder, and its reverberations roil and chase each other over the tops of the pines and spruces and startle a • thousand sleeping creatures who ren- der night hideous with their frighten- ed cries as they scurry or fly away - from your vicinity. It's a rude way to awaken a man, and no wonder your guide jumps up yelling like a Co- manche Indian and nearly knocks out the back of the camp as he runs against it. When he finds you pale and trem- bling and hears you declare that you have shot a bear, he mutters incred- ulously: and, lighting a lantern, goes out to investigate. You hear a loud French-Canuck laugh as he returns carrying by the tail a headless chip- munk, which he tosses at your feet. il-You wan good shot, m'sieur. You set him square 'tween de eyes. No shoot better meself, but ah tink you nerve, what you call, onstring, you getter take wan good dreenk 'n go to Bleep."

BIGGER TITAN BOBBY PEOPLE WHO, UNDER ENGLISH LAW, MAY LAUGH AT THE POLICE. The Variotfh Ciaszes of Persons in Great Britain Who Cannot -re Ar- rested —Royalty. as a Mattr of Course. Id First on the List. The other day at the Westminster (England) county court a warrpht. for the arrest and committal 'of a suIicitor had to be extended for four months more, as, though the solicitor was walking about the streets in tat. .,;ht of the police, they dared not lay a' fin- ger on him Even the judge seemed surprised that the man could not be arrested. But 1t is probable he never will be arrested, for, as he carries a charm on his person in the form of a brief, his body cannot be seized. s Tbis is because no one engaged on business at a law court can be arrested for any breach of the civil law. If you happen to owe a debt, to have a judgment de- livered against you and to be commit- ted to prison for not paying, of course you can be arrested under ordinary circumstances; but if you are sub- poenaed as a witness you cannot be arrested while going to the place, while staying there to give evidence or while returning home, and you may feel sure that the courts will stick up for you. • There . are many other people who can laugh at the police. Of course no member of the royal family can be arrested under any circumstances. Servants of the royal household also have great privileges �i le es in this way. Should one of the royal servants com- mit a crime at the command of the crown he could not be arrested. As the crown can do no wrong, of course any order the crown should give would be considered right, and Bobby would not dare to make an arrest. Then members of parliament, though they can be arrested for some things, are exempt in certain cases where or- dinary citizens would certainly be run in. If a member of the house of com- mons commits a crime,. he can be ar- rested like any other citizen, but if It is a case of contempt of court, such as 'not paying debts, he can snap his fin- gers at the police during the greater part of the year—that is to say, he can- not be arrested while parliament is sit- ting nor for 40 days before and 40 days after the session. This gives him ex- emption during about nine -tenths of the year. Of course a peer enjoys the same good fortune, and so does a peeress in her own -right. But' in their case the privilege is still greater, for they can- not be arrested on a civil process at any time, 'whether parliament is sit- ting or not. In fact, if the heir to a peeaage happens to be in prison for any offense net criminal, he is liberated the moment he succeeds to the title. Foreign embassadors may commit ;;any offense, from drunkenness up to murder, without running the slightest risk of seeing the inside of an English prison. And not only have the embas- sadors themselves this privilege, but their secretaries, coachmen. cooks, valets, etc., are equally favored indi- viduals, for the theory is that an em- bassador is useless without his dinner. his drives, his shaves and the like. When an embassador commits a crime, all that can be done is to ask his government to recall him. But, et course. if he went about the streets knocking many people down he would certainly be arrested and held tempo- rarily. But be could not be tried and punished. The foreign embassador's house, family and servants are looked upon as if they were in their own coun- try. Under no circumstances could a policeman or bailiff - break into the house or arrest any of the inhabitants. Soldiers, while on service, could run up debts, refuse to pay, and if a judge, after ordering them to pay, without re- sult, issued a warrant for their arrest and committal, no -policeman dare exe- chte it unless the amount were over $150. Navy men enjoy the same privi- leges, but no doubt they seldom get the opportunity of exercising them. The clergy are another class of men who are sometimes secure against ar- rest. A clergyman cannot be arrested when be le celebrating divine service or conducting the celebration of rites for the dead; nor can he be touched when going to or returning from either of these duties. Any one breaking the law in this respect might a punished with as much as two years' imprison- ment with hard labor. On Sundays we are all privileged. No one can be arrested on Sunday ex- cept for treason, felony or breach of the peace. I! any one tries it on with you, you can resist up to the point of killing him. A curious rule in connection with ar- rest is not generally known—if a police- man comes along after a fight" or an assault, he can make no arrest without a warrant. -London Tit -Bits. Makes Brilliant Flames. People who live on the New England coast like to use ocean driftwood as fuel in open fireplaces. It is impreg- nated with copper and ocean salts and when burned gives out the most bril- liant colored flames. It is asserted that a New Bedford dealer has orders for the wood from all parts of the country, and even from Europe, and ships hundreds oL barrels of it yearly. Parlous attempts have been made to imitate this wood by artificial process, but without success. Long submersion in the sea water is necessary to pro- duce the brilliant flames.—New York Tribune.

In the days when things were wide open there was a "brace" faro game on the other side of Canal street, where some pretty fat pigeons were frequent - ly ra nen -ly plucked. WIttie this *as going on a broken down ,port formed the habit of dropping in and securing a share of the plunder by simply betting the re- verse of the victim. The latter, for in- stance, would bet $50 one way on the ace, And the old sport, knowing popi- tively that the dupe would lose, would bet $5 the other way on the same card. In order to secure the $50 the dealer bad to let theunwelcome visitor win his little five, and that sort of thing happened almost every time a fresh fool was piloted into the establishment. Of course the sharpers who ran the game regarded this proceeding on the old sport's part ns a most outrageous invasion of their private rights, equiv- alent to blackmail. "I call it just the same as stealing for him to come in that way when we're skinning a man and take off a slice," said the main sharp, "and he really ought to be ar- rested. We must do something to stop him." Accordingly they held their beads to- gether and evolved a Machiavelian scheme. A few days later a stranger, who had all the appearances of a very verdant planter, was steered into the place, and right behind him, as usual, came the old sport, scenting rich pick- ings. After playing for awhile in a small way the stranger, who appeared to be more than half tipsy, pulled out a huge roll of bilis and offered to bet $1,500 on the turn of a card. The prop- osition was promptly accepted, and the other fellow, thinking' he had the chance of his life, immediately put up $65, which was every cent he had on earth. To his consternation, the plant- er won and he lost. That broke him of the habit and was the last time be ever tried to rob robbers. It turned out later that the planter was a Memphis gambler, "made up" expressly for the role.—New Orleans Times -Democrat. CATCHING SMELTS. How the Little Fish Are Hooked Through the Ice. The smelts are all caught with book and line, says the Bangor Commercial. Taking them otherwise, such as by seine, would be regarded by the fisher- men here as a great wrong. The fish- ing is all done in tents, the tents being about six feet long, five feet wide and high enough for a man to stand up in them. These tents are covered with cloth, heated by a stove and lighted usually by a lantern. I have known the tem- perature of my tent to vary, however, 60 degrees within ten minutes during a cold day. A hole about six feet long and eight, inches wide is cut in the ice and the tent setlengthwise of this. Six lines attached to a pole fastened to the plates of the tent hang into the water nearly eight inches apart. These lines during fishing hours are always kept in motion. The way the fishermen handle these lines, how they can bait the books and slat smelts, when, as they say, they are "taking holt," is certainly wonder- ful. I have known one man to catch , 100 pounds in less than one hour. This means at least 1,000 fish, or about 17 a minute. One smelter has been known to catch 500 pounds during one tide's fishing. Some have made $25 to $30 a day and others $200 in a few weeks. But these big catches are only made by those ex- pert in fishing. The ckan ces are that a green hand would me the first winter if dependent wholly on what fish he caught. Aerial Steamer. The airship of Count Zeppelin, a lien - tenant general in the German army, now on trial beside the Bodensee in Wurttemberg, is a veritable aerial steamer. It consists of a lattice frame- work of aluminium 420 feet long and divided into partitions, each holding a gas bag. The whole is covered with waterproof silk and makes a cylinder 37 feet in diameter, with ogivale ends like a conical bullet. A gallery and two cars of aluminium beneath add stiffness to the machine. It is housed in a floating shed on the Bodensee. MODERN 1 MINE SALTING. The Way This Swindle Is Artfully Worked -5n Mexico. "Mine salting ! wadays ha devel- oped into a very Ittice art," sair an en- gineer and assayer who has lately re- turned from theinP s action of some properties in old Mexico. "In former times it was done crudely. A rascal who wanted to give fictitious value to a worthless prospect hole generally bought or stole a sack of high grade ore and simply scattered it about the excavation, where the victim would be likely to pick up a few pieces for sam- pling. If an exposed ledge was to be dealt with, he sometimes filed up a $20 goldpiece, loaded the [lust into a shot- gun and fired it against the surface from which specimens would be taken. "But at present greater finesse is needed. The up to date purchaser in- sists upon having fresh ore blasted out from beneath the surface, where it could not possibly', be tampered with, and steals it up in a little canvas sack for the assayer with his owu hands. It is then that the latest development, the hypodermic syringe, comes into play. The scientific mine salter has one of these handy little implements in his coat pocket, charged with a solu- tion of chloride Of gold. ' "He watches for an opporulnity, and when one presents itself quietly thrusts the tip of the needle through the can- vas sack and gives the piston a gentle push. The consequence is that a few drops of the liquid are discharged over the surface of the ore. The quantity of gold in the solution is almost infinitesi- mal, but it is enough to 'run up' an as- say $1,000 a ton. "Meanwhile the victim is tranquil in the knowledge that he has selected the samples himself and has them safely sacked under his own private seal. Hypodermic mine salting is all the go in Mexico. at present. It beats the old method to death."—New Orleans Times -Democrat. The Eskimo's Liver. Does every oue know in what notable physical particulars the Eskimos who live in the far north differ from us tem- perate zone people? It will be remem- bered that half a dozen or more Eski- mos came to New York from the arctic zone with one of Lieutenant Peary's homing parties. Most of them died presently of pneumonia, to the dis- tress and somewhat to the indignation of the public. Of several of them care- ful autopsies were made and, not a little to the excitement of our medical world, It was discovered that the Eski- mo intestine was about four feet short- er than ours is, and that his liver was not shaped like what we have been used to call a human liver, but was more like that of a dog. The Eskimo, apparently, is so constructed that he can live and thrive under such condi- tions and on such n diet as he can com- mand at home.—Harper's Weekly. f That Coal Scuttle. In these days when so many excuses are used to obtain entrance to dwelling houses and burglars carry off every- thing possible it is as well to be care- ful. Therefore when a servant re- cently informed her mistress that a strange man had called and said that he had come to "measure for a coal scuttle" the mistress was naturally alarmed. The man came again, how- ever, bringing with him three others, and then it appeared that he had come to put in an electric wire and box for messenger service. What be really meant to tell the servant in the first place was that he had come to measure for the "call box." He had apparently broadened it into "coal box," and the servant had repeated it as "coal scut- tle."—New York Mail and Express. - A Hiigh Priced Man. General Weyler's brutality to the country fare ers of Cuba was the di- . rect cause of the desperate insurrection In Cuba which led to the Spanish war. That war cost the United States £60,- 000,000. The cost to Spain was £35,- 000,000, exclusive of loss of territory. The cost to Cuba in the way of wreck- ed plantations and loss of commerce, especially of her tobacco trade, is roughly estimated at £20,000,000 more. So Weyler came distinctly high.—An- ewers.

Recent experiments ;n New York have shown the possibility of convey- ing medicines through the skin and into anyportionofthe 0 human body P by placing them in the path of an electric current. Gout, rheumatism and con- sumption are now being treated by utilizing electricity to convey drugs to the affected parts, and while no positive cures have been wrought re- sults have been attained that seem to demonstrate the value of the new treatment Electricity has long been used by physicians in treatment of nervous troubles and for its tonic effects upon the system generally, but its employ- ment as an agent to carry mechanical- ly particles of medicines is new. Itis asserted, for instance, that by its use the drinking of lithia water for the gout will be unnecessary, as the lithia may be made to pass through the skin and into the member that is affected. Rheumatic joints may be treated in like manner, and the derangement of the stomach by taking medicine in the usual way will be avoided. Consumption is treated by using a specially constructed positive electrode. which fits over the chest. Medicine ap plied to this is carried to the Lungs when the negative pole is placed at the back. Experiments are now being made at St. Luke's hospital for the cure of consumption in this manner. Formaldehyde is used, and the re sults are said to be very satisfactory. As an important adjunct in the treat- ment of diseases this comparatively new method of administering drugs has come to stay. White and Brown Bread. In the recent discussion as to the merits respectively and relatively of white and brown bread there appears to be a weighty leaning on the part of professionals in favor of the former. They are firm in their belief, after hav Ing made elaborate Investigations, that white bread is more nutritious than the brown variety. No denial is made that the latter bas its merits—namely. that it tends to remove the torpidity of the digestive system so frequent to persons of sedentary habits, supplying also mineral matters, especially phos- phate of lime, so important for bone building. The white bread also, it is claimed, supplies mineral matter and as regards fat is said to afford a larger proportion of this essential food than the brown bread. But the great point upon which stress is iald in this dis- cussion is the necessity of judging the value of a food by a physiological fath er than by a purely chemical criterion. It is one thing to assume that a certain food shows under analysis a large pro portion of this or that nutriment and quite another to assert that it can be easily assimilated or, in other words, that its nutrients can be easily obtained by the body for the ultimate purpose of nourishment. In this latter respect white bread is considered superior by many to the brown or whole wheat ar- ticle. Military Geography. In his "Outlines of Military Geog- raphy" Mr. Macguire says that before 1870 the French officers knew the tac- tics of the parade ground and had some experience of the war in Algeria, but they did not know the geography of northwestern France, which the Ger- mans did, and this no doubt was one great cause of their disasters. The British now have a sufficiently striking object lesson in South Africa of the evil resulis of the false economy of de- laying a survey, or at any rate the pro- duction of maps on a sufficiently large scale to enable a general to form an accurate idea of the physical features of a country. A survey has been going on for some years, conducted by able officers under the astronomer royal at Cape Town, but the only maps of the seat of war in South Africa to be pur- chased are on too small a scale to be of any use for military purposes and are the work of private firms. Dr. Mac- guire quotes from Bacon, "Above all, for empire and greatness it lmporteth most that a nation do profess arms as their principal honor, study and occu- pation." The University of El Ayhar, in Cairo, is the oldest in the world. It has rec- ords esords dating back 1,000 years. Eye Complaints at Sea. One of the military journals in France calls attention to the fact that. owing to the intensity of the electric light used on board men-of-war, the men are frequently affected with eye complaints which in some cases have led to total blindness. According to observation, it would seem that eyes In which the iris is not heavily charged with pigments—that is to say, gray and blue eyes—are more likely to be thus injuriously affected. These eye trou- bles are referred to two causes—name- ly, the intensity of the light and the action of the ultra violet rays. Ocu- lists have recommended the interposi- tion between the eye and any powerful light of a transparent substance which will intercept the ultra violet rays, such as, for instance, uranium glass, which is yellow. The French naval authorities supply dark blue glasses for the use of those who have to do with searchlights, etc., and the cases In which injury has been caused to the eyes were those of men who had neg- lected to use these glasses, which, however, are stated not to afford any protection against the ultra violet rays. Irrigation In Siberia. If the winters are long in Siberia and very cold, bn the other hand the sum- mers are extremely warm and dry. The small streams of water dry up during this season, and agriculture suf- fers much from this state of things. To remedy the evil the following is what the inhabitants of certain dis- tricts do. During the winter they col- lect -the snow which, as is well known, falls in abundance in these regions and accumulate it at the bottom of some narrow valley. They press it and make it compact, so that it will be more resistant to thawing. At the end of the winter they cover the enormous piles which they have thus formed with branches, straw, manure or earth In order to protect the snow against the rays of the sun and the exterior heat. Then, when after long days without rain the temperature Is much elevated and the water of the streams begins to dry up, the snow, in spite of its cover- ing, commences to melt, and by means of a ditch made for this purpose the water which runs down supplies the river until the return of winter. Life of a Gun, The bigger the gun the shorter its life, says the New York Telegram. Those monsters, the 110 ton guns, can- not be reckoned upon to fire more than 80 full charge rounds without becom- ing quite useless. The 67 ton gun can fire 105 rounds, while the six inch breechloader is good for 400 or 450 full charge rounds. The reason for this is that the terrific heat and corroding ef- fect of the powder wear away the bore at the chamber end, and then the shell does not catch the rifling. A Remarkable Building. The tabernacle at Salt Lake City is, in respect to Its acoustic properties, the most remarkable place of worship In the world. It is constructed to bold 25,000 people, yet it is possible for a person standing at one end to distinct- ly hear the sound of a pin dropped into a bat at the other, a test of its curious power to convey sound which is offered to every stranger who is shown over the building.

Colonies of the lnsect.:4 'Transact Business With Military Precision. From a military standpoint the meth- ods employed by ants to provide food for an ant colony are almost perfect. Their foraging parties are faultless. both in planuing and execution. and are almost uniformly successful. A resident of this city who visited South Africa gives this description of a foray of an army of ants. The army, which he estimates to have numbered about 15,000 ants. started from its home in the mud walls of a hut and marched in the di- rection of a small mound of fresh earth but a few yards distant. The head of the column halted on -reaching the foot of the mound and waited for the rest of the force to arrive at the place of operations, which evidently was to be the mound of fresh earth. When the remainder had arrived and halted so that the entire army was as- sembled, a number of ants detached themselves from the main body and began to ascend to the top of the mound, while the others began moving so as to encircle the base of the mound. Soon a number from the detachment which had h h d ascended the mound, evi- dently the attacking party, entered the Ioose earth and speedily returned, each bearing a cricket or a young grass- hopper, dead, which he deposited upon the ground and then returned for a fresh load. Those who had remained on the outside of the mound took up the crickets and grasshoppers as they were brought out and bore them down to the base of the hill, returning for a fresh load. Soon the contents of the mound seemed to be exhausted, and then the whole force returned home, each carrying his burden of food for the community.

The weird howl echoes and re-echoes down the mountain side un- til it seems to reach the lake and float over its glasslike surface until it, is swallowed up in the dark water. A night owl makes bold to disturb your already troubled mind by pereh- ing on a big pine not a hundred feet away and sending forth a screech that curdles piur blood until you realize what it really is. Directly back of you is the lake shore. Suddenly comes a soft tread over dried brush. Surely some oue is steal- ing up to your camp. You rise to a sit- ting position and await the marauder's next move. Then once more you hear the snap, snap, snap of his feet as he cautiously draws near. Louder and louder, you cannot be mistaken this time; this is no trick of the imagina- tion. Now he must be directly beside you, with nothing but a wall of boughs be- tween. You can stand it no longer, and, with a half suppressed yell of ex- citement, you seize your gun, spring to your feet, dash aside the light canvas that falls over the front of the camp just enough to keep out the smoke tnd run out prepared to shoot on sight. There is a mad scramble, a crackling of twigs. a mad splash, and—the head of a very badly frightened muskrat can just be seen on the lake's surface as it,frantiiiplly pushes its way into the gloom. You creep softly back to your boughs rather ashamed at yourself and glance furtively at the guide, who sleeps peacefully through it all. At last na- ture asserts herself and gradually you feel the drowsiness of approaching slumber steal over you. You slightly raise your head to take one last look at the flickering log that splutters away outside. Hist! What's that? Two fiery eyes set in the framework of impenetrable gloom beyond the fire seem staring di- rectly, at you. Like coals, they burn and the words of your guide, "Oh, yes, thar's plenty of bar ro'n yere," come back to you with awful import. Then you hear the tread of his cushion padded feet moving here and there, but those awful eyes never once turn from you. They burn you with their hypnotic, baleful glare, and with a calmness you would not have believed you possessed, you softly reach for your rifle. A muskrat may be a joke, but a hun- gry bear prowling within 20 feet of you is an unsafe guest. You know you are as white as a sheet, and your hands tremble as you bring the piece to your shoulder and aim directly between those awful greenish yellow eyes. Sup- pose you miss; but, no, you- will not. Your finger presses the trigger. The roar of your rifle sounds like -a clap of thunder, and its reverberations roll and chase each other over the tops of the pines and spruces and startle a thousand sleeping creatures who ren- der night hideous with their frighten- ed cries as they scurry or fly away from your vicinity. It's a rude way to awaken a man, and no wonder your guide jumps up yelling like a Co- manche Indian and nearly knocks out the back of the camp as he runs against it. When he finds you pale and trem- bling and hears you declare that you have shot a bear, he mutters incred- ulously and, lighting a lantern, goes out to investigate. You hear a loud French-Canuck laugh as he returns carrying by the tail a headless chip- munk, which he tosses at your feet. t You wan good shot, m'sieur. You beet him square 'tween de eyes. No shoot better meself, but ah tink you nerve, what you call, onstring, yon Defter take wan good dreenk 'n go to sleep."

BIGGER TITAN BOBBY PEOPLE WHO, UNDER ENGLISH LAW, MAY LA -UGH AT THE POLICE. The Varloa's elf,...e0 of Persons In Great Britain %1 -ho Cannot 1 Ar- reeted — Royalty. es a Matt.tir (of Courae. I Firat on the List. The other day at the Westminster (England) county court a warrailt for the arrest and committal of a solicitor had to be extended for four months more, as, though the solicitor wet walking about the streets in tet ..;ht of the police, they dared not lay a fin- ger on hint Even the judge seemed surprised that the man could not be arrested. But it is probable he uever will be arrested, for, as he carries a charm on his person in the form of a brief, his body caunot be seized.' This is because no one engaged on business at a law court can he arrested for any breach of the civil law. If you happen tO owe a debt, to have a judgment de- livered against you and to be commit- ted to prison for not paying, of course you can be arrested under ordinary circumstances; but if you are sub- pcenaed as a witness you cannot be arrested while going to the place, while staying there to give evidence or while returning home, and you may feel sure that the courts will stick up for you. There are many other people who can laugh at the police. Of course no member of the royal family can be arrested under any circumstances. Servants of the royal household also have great privileges in this way. Should one of the royal servants com- mit a crime at the command of the crown he could not be arrested. As the crown can do no wrong, of course any order the crown should give would be considered right, and Bobby would not dare to make an arrest. Then members of parliament, though they can be arrested for some things, are exempt in certain cases where or- dinary citizens would certainly be run in. If a member of the house of com- mons commits a, crime, he can be ar- rested like any other citizen, but if it is a case of contempt of court, such as not paying debts, he can snap his fin- gers at the police during the greater part of the year—that is to say, be can- not be arrested while parliament is sit- ting nor for 40 days before and 40 days after the session. This gives him ex- emption during about nine -tenths of the year. Of course a peer enjoys the same good 'fortune, and so does a peeress in her own _right But in their case the privilege is still greater, for they can- not be arrested on a civil process at any time, whether parliament is sit- ting or not. In fact, if the heir to a peerage happens to be in prison for any offense not criminal, he is liberated the moment he succeeds to the title. Foreign embassadors may commit any offense, from drunkenness up to murder, without running the slightest risk of seeing the inside of an English prison. And not only have the embas- sadors themselves this privilege, but their secretaries, coachmen, cooks, valets, etc., are equally favored indi- viduals, for the theory is that an em- bassador is useless without his dinner, his drives, his shaves and the like. When an embassador commits a crime, all that can be done is to ask his governmeneto recall him. But, of course, if he went about the streets knocking many people down he would certainly be arrested and held tempo- rarily. But he could not be tried and punished. The foreign embassador's house, family and servants are looked upon as if they were in their own coun- try. Under no circumstances could a policeman or bailiff break into the house or arrest any of the inhabitants. Soldiers, while on service, could run up debts, refuse to pay, and if a judge, after ordering them to pay, without re- sult, issued a warrant for their arrest and committal, no policeman dare exe- Cite it unless the amount were over $150. Navy men enjoy the same privi- leges, but no doubt they seldom get the opportunity of exercising them. • The clergy are another class of men who are sometimes secure against ar- rest A clArgyman cannot be arrested when he 14 celebrating divine service or conducting the celebration of rites for the dead; nor can he be touched when going to or returning from either of these duties. Any one breaking the law in this respect might be punished with as much as two years' imprison- ment with hard labor. On Sundays we are all privileged. No one can be arrested on Sunday ex- cept for treason, felony or breach of the peace. If any one tries It on with you, you can resist up to the point of killing him. A curious rule in connection with ar rest is not generally known—if a police- man comes along after a fight' or an assault, he can make no arrest without a warrant —London Tit -Bits. make:I:Sentient names. People who live on the New England coast like to use ocean driftwood as fuel in open fireplaces. It is impreg- nated with copper and ocean salts and when burned gives out the most bril- liant colored flames. It is asserted that a New Bedford dealer has orders for the wood from all parts of the country, and even from Mayne, and .hips boadreds of barrels of it yearly. Various attempts have been made to imitate this wood by artificial process, but without success. Long submersion in the sea water Is necessary to pro- duce the brilliant flames.—New York Tribune.

In the days when things were wide open there was a "brace" faro game on the other side of Canal street, where some pretty fa: pigeons were frequent- ly plucked. AN:41e this was going on a broken down port formed the habit of dropping in and securing a share of the plunder by simply betting the re- verse of the vietim. The latter, for in- stance, would bet $30 one way on the ace, And the old sport, knowing popi- tively that the dupe would lose, wodld bet $3 the other way on the same card. In order to secure the $50 the dealer had to let the unwelcome visitor win his little five, and that sort of thing happened almost every time a fresh fool was piloted into the establishment Of course the sharpers who ran the game regarded this proceeding on the old sport's part as a most outrageous invasiou of their private rights, equiv- alent to blackmaiL "I call it just the same as- stealing for him to come in that way when we're skinning a man and take off a slice," said the main sharp, "and he really ought to be ar- rested. We must do something to stop him." - Aceordingly thy laid their heads to- gether and evolved a Machlavellan scheme. A few days later a stranger, who had all the appearances ot a very verdant planter, was steered into the place, and right behind him, as usual, came the old sport, scenting rich pick- ings. After playing for awhile in a small way the stranger, who appeared to be more than half tipsy, pulled out a huge roll of bills and offered to bet $1,500 on the turn of a card. The prop- osition -was promptly accepted, and the other fellow, thinking he had the chance of his life, immediately put up $05, which was every cent he had on earth. To his consternation, the plant- er won and he lost. That broke him of the habit and was the last time be ever tried to rob robbers. It turned out later that the planter was a Memphis gambler, "made up" expressly for the role.—New Orleans Times -Democrat. CATCHING SMELTS. flow the Little Fish Are Hooked Through the Ice. The smelts are all caught with hook and line, says the Bangor Commercial. Taking them otherwise, such as by seine, would be regarded by the fisher- men here as a great wrong. The fish- ing is all done in tents, the tents being about six feet long, five feet wide and high enough for a man to stand up in them. These tents are covered with cloth, heated by a stove and lighted usually by a lantern. I have known the tem- perature of my tent to vary, however, 60 degrees within ten minutes during a cold day. A hole about six feet long and eight. inches wide is cut in the ice and the tent set lengthwise of this. Six lines attached to a pole fastened to the plates of the tent hang into the water nearly eight inches apart. These lines during fishing hours are always kept in motion. The way the fishermen handle these lines, how they can bait the books and slat smelts, when, as they say, they are "taking holt," is certainly wonder- ful. I have known one man to catch 100 pounds in less than one hour. This means at least 1,000 fish, or about 17 a minute. One smelter has been known to catch 500 pounds during one tide's fishing. Some have made $25 to $30 a day and others $200 in a few weeks. But these big catches are only made by those ex- pert in fishing. The chances are that a green hand would starve the first winter if dependent wholly ,()» what fish he caught. Aerial Steamer. The airship of Count Zeppelin, a lieu- tenant general in the German army, now on trial beside the Bodensee in Wurttemberg, is a veritable aerial steamer. It 'Consists of a lattice frame- work of aluminium 420 feet long and divided into partitions, each bolding a gas bag. The whole is covered with waterproof silk and makes a cylinder 37 feet in diameter, with ogivale ends like a conical bullet. A gallery and two cars of aluminium beneath add stiffness to the machine. It is housed In a floating shed on the Bodensee. MODERTI MINE SAL:11Nd. Site Way This Swindle Is Artful'', Worked In Mexico. "Mine salting nibwaditys haudevel- Oped into a very Wee art," sal au en- gineer and assayer who has late'y re- turned from the inspection of some properties in old Ildexico. "In former times it was done crudely. A rascal who wanted to give fictitious value to a worthless prospect hole generally bought or stole & sack of high grade ore and simply scattered it about the excavation, where the victim would be likely to pick up a few pieces for sam- pling. If an exposed ledge was to be dealt with, he sometimes filed up a $20 goldpiece, loaded the dust into a shot- gun and fired it against the surface from which specimens would be taken. "But at present greater tine'se is needed. The up to date purchaser in- sists upon having fresh ore blasted out from beneath the surface, where it could not possibly be tampered with, and scals it up in a little canvas sack for the assayer wIth his own hands. It is then that the latest development, the hypodermic sYriuge, comes into play. The scientific wine salter has one of these handy little implements in his coat pocket, charged with a solu- tion of chloride of gold. ' "He watches for an opportunity, and when one presents itself quietly thrusts the tip of the needle through the can- vas sack and gives the piston a gentle push. The consequence is that a few drops of the liquid are discharged over the surface of the ore. The quantity of gold in the solution is almost infinitesi- mal, but it is enough to 'run up' au as- say $1,000 a ton. "Meanwhile the victim is tranquil in the knowledge that he has selected the samples himself and has them safely sacked under his own private seal. Hypodermic mine salting is all the go in Mexico at present. It beats the old method to death."—New Orleans Times -Democrat. The Eskimo's Liver, Does every one know iu what notable physical particulars the Eskimos who live in the far north differ from us tem- perate zone people? It will be remem- bered that half a dozen or more Eski- mos came to New York from the arctic zone with one of Lieutenant Peary's homing parties. Most of them died presently of pneumonia, to the dis- tress and somewhat to the indignation of the public. Of several of them care- ful autopsies were made and, not a little to the excitement of our medical world, it was discovered that the Eski— mo intestine was about four feet short- er than ours is, and that his liver was not shaped like what we have been used to call a human liver, but was more like that of a dog. The Eskimo, apparently, is so constructed that he can live and thrive under such condi- tions and on such a diet as he can com• mand at home.—Harper's Weekly. That Coal Scuttle. In these days when so many excuses are used to obtain entrance to dwelling houses and burglars carry off every- thing possible it is as well to be care- ful. Therefore when a servant re- cently informed her mistress that a strange man had called and said that he had come to "measure for a coal scuttle" the mistress was naturally alarmed. The man came again, how- ever, bringing with him three others, and then it appeared that he had come to put in an electric wire and box for messenger service. What he really meant to tell the servant in the first place was that be had come to measure for the "call box." He had apparently broadened it into "coal box," and the servant bad repeated It as "coal scut- tle."—New York Mail and Express. - A High Priced Man. General Weyler's brutality to the country farmers of Cuba was the di- rect cause of the desperate insurrection in Cuba which led to the Spanish war. That war cost the United States £60,- 000,000. The cost to Spain was L35,- 000,000, exclusive of loss of territory. The cost to Cuba in the way of wreck- ed plantations and loss of commerce, especially of her tobacco trade, is roughly estimated at £20,000,000 more. So Weyler came distinctly high.—An- ewers. One never realizes bow little he real- ly knows until he has read a page or two of the dictionary. MEDICATED ELECTRICITY. Reeent Experiment. Show the Value of the New Treatment. Recent experiments la New York have shown the possibiltty of convey- ing medicines through the skin and into any portion of the human body by placing them in the path of au electric current. Gout, rheumatism and con- sumption are now being treated by utilizing electricity to convey drugs to the affected parts, and while no positive cures have been wrought re- sults hate been attained that seem to demonstrate the value of the new treatment. Electricity bas long been used by physicians In treatment of nervous troubles and for its tonic effects upon the system generally, but its employ- ment as&twists. it to carry mechanical- ly particles of medicines is new. It is asserted, for instance, that by its use the drinking of lithia water for the gout will be unnecessary, as the lithia may be made to pass through the skin and into the member that is affected. Rheumatic joints may be treated in like manner, and the derangement of the stomach by taking medicine in the usual way will be avoided. Consumption is treated by using a specially constructed positive electrode, which tits over the chest. Medicine ap- plied to this is carried to the lungs when the negative pole is placed at the back. Experiments are now beitig made at St. Luke's hospital for the cure of consumption In this manner. Formaldehyde is used, and the re- sults are said to be very satisfactory. As an important adjunct in the treat- ment of diseases this comparatively new method of administering drugs has come to stay. White and Brown Bread. In the recent discussion as to the merits respectively and relatively of white and brown bread there appears to be a weighty leaning on the part of professionals in favor of the former. They are firm in their belief, after hav ing made elaborate investigations, that white bread is more nutritious than the brown variety. No denial is made that the latter has its tnerits—namely. that it tends to remove the torpidity of the digestive system so frequent in persons of sedentary habits, supplying also mineral matters, especially phos- phate of lime, so important for bone building. The white bread also, it is claimed, supplies mineral matter and as regards fat is said to afford a larger proportion of this essential food than the brown bread. But the great point upon which stress is laid in this dis- cussion is the necessity of judging the value of a food by a physiological rath er than by a purely chemical criterion It is one thing to assume that a certain food shows under analysis a large pro portion of this or that nutriment and quite another to assert that it can be easily assimilated or, in other words, that its nutrients can be easily obtained by the body for the ultimate purpose of nourishment. In this latter respect white bread is considered superior by many to the brown or whole wheat ar- ticle. Military Geography. In his "Outlines of Military Geog- raphy" Mr. Macguire says that before 1870 the French officers knew the tac- tics of the parade ground and had some experience of the war in Algeria, but they did not know the geography of northwestern France, which the Ger- mans did, and this no doubt was one great cause of their disasters. The British now have a sufficiently striking object lesson in South Africa of the evil results of the false economy of de- laying a survey, or at any rate the pro- duction of maps on a sufficiently large scale to enable a general to form an accurate idea of the physical features of a country. A survey has been going on for some years, conducted by able officers under the astronomer royal at Cape Town, but the only maps of the seat of war in South Africa to be pur- chased are on too small a scale to be of any use for military purposes and are the work of private firms. Dr. Mac- guire quotes from Bacon, "Above all, for empire and greatness it importeth most that a nation do profess arms as their principal honor, study and occu- pation." The University of El Ayhar, in Cairo, is the oldest in the world. It bas ree ords dating back 1,000 years. Eye Complaints at Sea. One of the 'military jouruals In France calls attentiou to the fact that, owing to the intensity of the electric light used on board men-of-war, the men are frequently affected with eye complaints which In some cases have led to total blindness. According to observation, it would seem that eyes in which the Iris is not heavily charged with pigments—that is to say, gray and blue eyes—are more likely to be thus injuriously affected. These eye trou- bles are referred to two causes—name- ly, the intensity of the light and the action of the ultra violet rays. Ocu- lists have recommended the interposi- tion between the eye and any powerful light of a transparent substance which will intercept the ultra violet rays, such as, for instance, uranium glass, which is yellow. The French naval authorities supply dark blue glasses for the use of those who have to do with searchlights, etc.. and the cases in which injury has been caused to the eyes were those of men wbo bad neg- lected to use these glasses, which, however, are stated not to afford any protection against the ultra violet rays. Irrigation In Siberia. If the winters are long in Siberia and very cold, bn the other hand the sum- mers are extremely warm and dry. The small streams of water dry up during this season, and agriculture suf- fers much from this state of things. To remedy the evil the following is hat the inhabitants of certain dis- tricts do. During the winter they col- lect•the snow which, as is well known, falls in abundance in these regions and accumulate it at the bottom of some narrow valley. They press it and ake it compact, so that it will be more resistant to thawing. At the end of the winter they cover the enormous piles which they have thus formed with branches, straw, manure or earth hi order to protect the snow against the rays of the sun and the exterior heat. Then, when after long days without rain the temperature 1s much elevated and the water of the streams begins to dry up, the snow, in spite of its cover- ing, commences to melt, and by means of a ditch made for this purpose the water which rune down supplies the river until the return of winter. Life of a Gun, The bigger the gun the shorter its life, says the New York Telegram. Those monsters, the 110 ton guns, can- not be reckoned upon to fire more than 80 full charge rounds without becom- ing quite useless. The 67 ton gun can fire 105 rounds, while the six inch breechloader is good for 400 or 450 full charge rounds. The reason for this is that the terrific heat and corroding ef- fect of the powder wear away the bore at the chamber -end, and then the shell does not catch the rifling. A Remarkable Building. The tabernacle at Salt Lake City is, in respect to its acoustic properties, the most remarkable place of worship in the world. It is constructed to hold 25,000 people, yet it Is possible for a person standing at one end to distinct- ly hear the sound of a pin dropped into a hat at the other, a test of its curious power to convey sound which is offered to every stranger who is shown over the building.

ANTS ACT AS STRATEGISTS. Colon' es of the Insects 'Ern nsact Business With Military Precision. From a military standpoint the meth- ods employed by ants to provide food for an ant colony are almost perfect. Their foraging parties are faultless. both in planniug and exeeution. and are almost uniformly successful. A resident of this city wbo visited South Africa gives this description of a foray of an army of ants. The army, which be estimates to have numbered about 15,000 ants. started from its home in the mud walls of a hut and marched in the di- rection of a small mound of fresh earth but a few yards distant. The head of the column halted on reaching the toot of the mound and waited for the rest of the force to arrive at the place of operations, which . evideutly was to be the mound of fresh earth. When the remainder had arrived and halted so that the entire army was as- sembled, a number of ants detached themselves from the main body and began to ascend to the top of the mound, while the others began moving so as to encircle the base of the mound. Soon a number from the detachment which had ascended the mound, evi- dently the attacking party, entered the loose earth and speedily returned, each bearing a cricket or a young grass- hopper, dead, which he deposited upon the ground and then returned for a fresh load. Those wbo had remained on the outside of the mound took up the crickets and grasshoppers as they were brought out and bore them down to the base of the hill, returning for a fresh load. Soon the contents of the mound seemed to be exhausted, and then the whole force returned home, each carrying his burden of food for the community. Here, then, was the regular foray, planned and executed with military precision, the country surveyed, the depot of provisions known accurately before the march was made and at ti.e mound prudential division of labor and care taken that none of the victims should escape.—New York Herald. Test For a Weak Mind. Two men in a cafe were discussing's__ gift by a noted millionaire of a large sum of money to found a college chair of psychology. "What is psychology. anyway?" ask- ed one. "It's the study of the mind, of the soul," said the other. "What's the good of that?" asked the skeptic. "A great deai of use." answered his companion. "1 have studied it to some extent myself and can detect a weak minded man from a strong miuded one by a very simple test. For instance. if I can make you say 'fourteen' against your will you lack will power. Ntrill you let me try it on you? I believe 1 can make you say it" "Make me say 'fourteen' against my will?

Lewis yesterday received a re- port from the state appeal board, con- sisting of the beads of the several departments at the state university: Only eighteen of the one hundred and nineteen appeals secured any change in their marking, and in eleven cases it was found that the de- partment had given too good a mark. Seven papers were marked up from three to five points. In no case, how- ever, did the appeals make any change in the result. The report of the appeal board stands as an unqualified indorsement of the markings of the vast number of papers submitted to the state department of public in- struction.—St. Paul Globe, 15th. George Dickson, Litchfield, Minn., wild died at the West Hotel of paralysis Apr. 7th, was a man who in Iris younger days stood high in financial circles both in England and India. In 1858 he was appointed secretary and treasurer of the Bank of Bengal, a position at that time commanding a higher salary than that enjoyed by any other banker in the world. He rapidly made himself master of the banking system of India, and when, still in the flush of manhood, he retired the bank gave him a life pension of $5,000.—Minne- apolis Tribune. Ex -Senator Hanson, of Litchfield, is a candidate for secretary of state. The ex -senator desires the support of Anoka County, so he says. In 1897 Anoka was a candidate for a fair deal in the legislature, and so stated to Senator Hanson. Hanson voted for Hastings. Is it necessary for us to further proceed with the narrative?— Anoka Herald. Prof. W. F. Kunze, of Hastings, came down last Thursday evening and remained over night with his friend M. J. Radler, and met several of the friends of former days. He has a host of friends here who are always glad to see him, and he says he likes his work at Hastings very much indeed.—Lake City Graphic - Sentinel. Mrs. Helen Collins carne down from Hastings Tuesday to look after her house on the avenue, and to make arrangements for renting it for the summer.—Lake City Graphic- Sentinel. Rapid Mau Delivery. The record was broken in the St. Paul postoffice yesterday when a let- ter that had been sent nearly twenty- five years ago was delivered by the department to the person it was in- tended to reach in the first place. The letter was addressed to A. P. Hendrickson, State University, Min- neapolis, Mina., and was mailed at Rosemount, Minn., June 4th, 1876. It was delivered to the university all right, but by a mistake it was mis- laid. Last Saturday it was found, still unopened, and turned over to the postal authorities at Minneapolis and was forwarded to St. Paul, Mr. Hendrickson's present address, and delivered to him a few minutes after its arrival here. Mr. Hendriekson looked in blank amazement at the feminine superscription when the letter was handed to him. He finally opened the letter, read it over carefully and tucked it away in his pocket. The letter bore one of the old three -cent stamps and was ad- dressed in purple ink, so fashionable in the seventies. Both the sender of the letter and the one it was deliver- ed to after so any years are mar- ried now and have children of their own, who will soon enter the institu- tion from which their parents gradu- ated and have romances of their own. —St. Paul Globe, 3d.

King, late member of the firm of Browning, King, & Co., Chicago, was admitted to probate yesterday, Aurelia R. King, Francis King, and Cyrus Bentley being appointed executors. The IAght Turned on Mr. Millett. To the Editor of The Gazette: A few days since I was handed a copy of & paper printed outside this county, eontaining an article signed by J. M. Millett, in which he makes certain accusations against a large portion of the human family. I have neither the time or inclination to en- ter into .discussion with any one through the newspapers, but the arti- cle in question contains such an ad- mixture of fact, fancy, and innuendo, with some direct eharges of malfeas- ance, that I thought a few observa- tions might not be out of place. Mr. Millett's complaint may be summarized about as follows: First, all the officers of Dakota County have been, and are, conspiring to loot the treasury and rob the people; second, all the newspapers in the county are in collusion with these rascals; third, that all politicians are corrupt, and especially members of the legislature; and, finally, that no person who is op- posed to this wholesale system of rascality can be elected to office in this county. It is always easy to make general charges, and Mr. Millett would have been more fortunate if he had con- fined himself to this form of attack. He seems to think that the climax of villainy was reached when the sheriff presented his "enormous" bill to the board of county commissioners, and says "the board allowed $4,000 on the bill at their last meeting, and the balance, $29,780, is taken into court on appeal, and the commissioners and taxpayers will not be troubled with it -lurther until called upon to pay an enormous judgment with costs." Whether he infers from this that the sheriff and board are in col- lusion, or that the district court may be expected to further some nefarious scheme, I am not able to make out. I presume it is well known that if the board disallows in whole or in part any claim presented to it the claimant may appeal from the decision, but if any town constable had stated that a claimant had taken that portion dis- allowed into the court on appeal it would have been imputed to him as invincible ignorance. Many of the provisions of the act of 1899, in relation to the sale of for- feited lands, are in my judgment unwise. It required the county auditors to make a complete list of taxes which became delinquent in the year 1897 and prior years, : and fur- ther provided that at least sixty days• before the sale the auditors should prepare two notices, one of which should he served on the owner by mail, and one of which should he served upon the occupant of each tract in the list by the sheriff in the manner provided for the service and return of summons in civil actions. The legislature undoubtedly intended to give each land owner ample notice before the land should be sold, but it seems to me the expense thus incur- red is out of proportion to the bene- fits. The sheriff, or rather his attor- neys, .claimed that he was entitled to the same fees for serving each notice that be would be for serving a sum- mons. After much consideration I advised the board that I did not think he was entitled to the amount claim- ed. As the whole matter is now in the courts, and must be decided by the courts. I do not think it proper to discuss it further here. The board allowed the county audi- tor as compensation for the services required of him the sum of twenty cents per description. The auditor was required to prepare the list, com- pute the interest on each year's tax delinquent, prepare the notices, hold the sale, and execute to each pur- chaser a certificate of sale. The act provided that the commissioners were authorized to allow him a reasonable compensation for the duties. required. The state auditor sent out a circular in which he said that_ he thought twenty-five cents per description would in mostcases be a reasonable compensation. I presume our board relied somewhat on this circular in fixing the amount it did. But Mr. Millett says that he did not think the board knew at that time how many descriptions there were in the list, or what the sum allowed would amount to, and adds, "If they knew these facts they have a chance to explain. It they did not know them they should have hired an attorney whom they could depend upon." Mr. Mil- let undoubtedly remembers the time when the board found it necessary to hire an attorney whom it could de- pend upon, and pay him out of the county treasury, in addition to pay- ing the salary of the county attorney. He seems to be in favor of .continuing that practice. But why should the board hire an attorney for this pur- pose? Any member of the board or any clerk could have counted the descriptions and computed the amount as well as the best lawyer. I told the board that the county at- torney had nothing to do with the matter, except to say that the com- pensation allowed must be a reason- able one, and, notwithstanding the great respect I have for Mr. Millett's ability, I am still of that opinion. The clerk of court is required to make a copy of the delinquent lists for publication, and after the publica- tion, where no answer is filed, to en- ter judgment against each tract of land, in which are included the costs and penalties, and when completed he makes a copy of these judgments for the county auditor's office, and for performing all duties required the law allows him fifteen cents for each description. The fees allowed may be too large where there are so many descriptions. This year the number in the annual delinquent list and f feited list contained nearly twenty thousand. in the forfeited list the clerk was compelled to examine the returns of the sheriff on more than nine thousand notices filed with him in order to tax the costs. The fees allowed clerks are the same through- out the state, have been the same for more than fifteen years, were the same during the time the greatest lawyer in this country held the p081 - tion of county attorney of Dakota County, and now he says "If he (the clerk) was out of office, he or most any one else would be in splendid luck if they could get COO for doing the same work." Mr. Millett's opin- ion publicly expressed is that one- half of one cent for each description would be a"splendid" compensation for all the duties required of the clerk in this respect. Next. The board of county commissioners is required to let the publication of delinquent tax lists to the lowest bid- der. It has no option in the matter. For some years past the beard has required the printer awarded the con- tract to publish the list in all the papers in the county; whether that was a wise, or unwise thing to do, the members must settle with their con- stituents. The same provisions were made with reference to publishing the proceedings of the board and other county printing. The board in so doing was undoubtedly desirous of having these publications reach as many of the people in the county as possibliell Perhaps the commissioners were aux, of s to advertise as exten- sivelyiiis:they could the fact that they tare simply being used as stalking horses from behind which the treasury is so unmercifully raided." Mr. Editor, I have never found it necessary, or deemed it advisable, to notice newspaper articles reflecting upon myself. It is certainly no part of my duty to defend any county officer from like reflections, nor do I intend to do so. I have simply stat- ed certain facts as I understand them. There is, however, one charge con- tained in the article referred to that I cannot pass unnoticed. It is this: "Gross violations of law are commit- ted with perfect impunity, while the most trifling things are made the sub- ject of investigation for the purpose of making costs. For instance, pris- oners convicted on the absurd charge of vagrancy, drunkenness, etc., who should be prosecuted under ordi- nances, are brought from the farthest ends of the county and boarded at the county's expense, while a raid on ballot boxes in the night time is pas- sed unnoticed and promptly hushed." The state vagrancy law is, in my opinion, a bad law. I have tried to get it repealed. I know no way of stopping prosecutions under it while it is in force. I know not what efforts Mr. Millet& has made in this direc- tion, but it 'would seem to me much more .commendable to make some' efforts to repeal an obnoxious law than to find fault with officers for en- forcing it. But it is the latter part of the charge that I wish particularly to refer. Mr. Millett accuses some one, presumably a county officer, of a most serious crime, a crime against the election laws of this state, one which effects the integrity of the ballot. Mr. Millett, surely you would not have made a charge of this serious character unless you are in possession of facts which would fully warrant you in so doing. It is, therefore, your plain duty to make complaint against the guilty party or parties. It is your duty as a good citizen to furnish the prosecuting officers with the evidence which would warrant a prosecution. You shall have the whole force of the state to aid you in bringing the guilty party or parties to justice, whoever he or they may be. After making the charge you cannot do less than this. If you have any fears that the procecstion will be con- ducted with lukewarmness, you are at liberty to employ any responsible counsel to assist in the prosecution, and I will pay for his services. It shall not cost the county anything for attorney's services. You shall have the privilege of. assisting in the prosecution if you so desire. It is clearly your duty to do this or retract your charges. Will you do it? WILLIAM HODGSON. The Jury List.

Lilly, a prominent citizen of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: "I was taken with Typhoid Fever, that ran into pneumonia. My lungs became hardened. I was so weak I couldn't even sit up in bed. Noth- ing helped me. I expected to soon die of consumption, when 1 heard of Dr. Ring's New Discovery. One battle gave great relief. I continued to use it, and now am well and strong, I can't say too much in its praise."

It is difficult to imagine how Lewis Morrison's perfect production of Faust could be improved upon, and yet this season finds it surrounded with so many new spectacular effects of an electrical and mechanical nature, to say nothing of the pretty tints and colorings given the scenery, that the play which has so long been before the public as one of the fore- most and recognized big productions, comes to us almost new. To the credit of all concerned it must be said that the attention which has been given Morri- son's production from time to time is com- mendable, to say the least. It is the in- tention to make this, the last season of Faust, one of the greatest successes the stage has ever known. Our New Citizens.

Mr. Julius Panse, the well known cigar dealer, died Tuesday night under peculiar and distressing cir- cumstances. He had not been feel- ing well for several days, and at nine o'clock was taken home, on east Sixth Street, in a hack, but did not enter the house. It is supposed that his hat blew off and be started after it, and in the severe storm of wind and rain lost his bearings and was unable to find the way back. About two hours later he was discovered by Rudolph Bohn, a railroad employe, on the track near the Third Street cros- sing and assisted into the tank house, where he died in a few moments presumably of heart disease aggravat- ed -by over exertion and exposure. The remains were taken to the under- taking rooms of F. W. Kramer, the coroner not considering an inquest necessary. He had an umbrella turn- ed inside out, and his hat and lunch basket were found less than a block east of his gate. Mr. Panse was born at Nordhausen, Prussia, Mar. 19th, 1830. Emigrated to Am€rica in 1848, locating at Cincinnati. In 1850 went to Louisville, Ky.,, and en- gaged in the printing business, and was married there, Nov, 9t4,1857, to Miss Susanna Scbmutz. In 1862 they removed to New Ulm, where he start- ed a newspaper called The Post, the publication of which was summarily suspended by the Indian massacre a few weeks later. In 1863 came to St. Paul, and thence to Hastings, and for a number of years was a valued employe of The Gazette, only leaving to go into the tobacco business upon his own account. Mr. Panse was a modest, unassuming citizen, of un- impeachable integrity, and greatly be- loved by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. A wife is left to mourn the loss oft a kind and affectionate husband. He was an old member of Dakota Lodge No. 7, A.F. and A. M., and Herrmann Lodge No.35, I.O. U F.

She was a christian woman, and always held in high esteem. Shortly before her death she was heard to exclaim, "Jesus will come and take me to- night," showing that she was pre- pared for her departure.

The Gray Eagle went on her course, parting the waves of the Indian ocean. She was a packet -steamer in the em- ploy of a great English company and carried many passengers. Among these, standing on the promenade deck for- ward . and looking across the broad expanse of water before her, was beautiful girl, in the flush of her you and beauty. In the wheelhouse stood a you man, second mate of the ship, looki at Mabel Vane. He was young, wi a bold, manly face, curling brown ha and beard and speaking gray eyes man in grace of person, manly beau and pure heart—a man worthy of t name. IIe was only a sailor and h risen to his present rank from cab boy, but yet he dared to love t daughter of the East Indian millio acre, Arthur Vane. He loved her and had no hope—lov her as we worship a star which is beyond our reach. Nothing was furth from his thoughts than to insult `11 by telling her that he loved her. 13 to be near her, to see her often, pe haps .to do some service which woul win a smile from her—that was r M ward enough or f Will Clay. a She. never dreamed of his adoratio and he had heard her say among he friends that she liked hien better tha any other officer on board the Gr Eagle. She said it in the careless wa of girlhood, and yet he treasured it i his heart. Standing there watchin the course of the ship and ready t give a word of warning to the wheels man if it were needed, he never too .g eves from her long. "Mr. Clay," said the mac at th wheel as he gave it a, half turn an rested there, "don't you smell smoke?' "It comes from the galley." "Perhaps so, but what are they burn ing rosin in the galley for?" "Rosin!" cried Will, raising his hea quickly and snuffing the air. He caugh the peculiar smell himself and leaps down from the wheelhouse. "Kee steady," he whispered to the man a the wheel. "There may be danger, bu if there is, for God's sake, keep 1 quiet." The man nodded quietly and took firmer hold on the wheel. Will Clay crossed the deck without apparen haste and yet with a. fearful fear tug ging at his heart. He caught sight of the captain coming out of the gentle- men's cabin and hurried up to him. "There is something wrong," he whispered. "Don't. you smell burning rosin, captain?" The old sea captain suppressed a cry of horror. With 50 passengers on board in the midst of the Indian ocean, far from ,land, a fire was one of the most horrible things which could come upon a ship. "00 forward and investigate, he said in a low tone. "If you find that it is a fire, you know what to do. How are the boats?" "All right, sir. You may trust to them." They had good cause for fear. The entire forehold was filled with rosin, in boxes and casks, and if a fire started there it might as well be in a nest of fat pine. Will ran down to the -lower deck, where he .was met by a crowd of excited firemen and coal passers, who were rushing madly. on deck. Quick as thought he seized the foremost and hurled him back. "Go back, you fools!" he cried. "Where are you running to?" - "Fire!" whispered the man hoarsely. "Fire in the forehold!" "Suppose there is. Is it your duty to rush on deck c and alarm the passengers. or get buckets and try to put out the fire? Back, there, all of you, for I will brain the man who dares to flinch a halir now! Stand back, I say!" The men cowed before his superior will and saw that they might yet do something to save the steamer. A guard was placed at the hatch, -.so that no one could come down, and the scuttle which led into the forehold was opened. No sooner was this done than a dense volume of black smoke rolled out, gnd the scuttle was closed again, for Will saw that nothing could be done in that way. The men ran for- ward with axes, but had scarcely gone a dozen steps when they felt the deck tremble under their feet and saw small jets of flame shooting up through the planks. A moment more and there was a sort of explosion, and the red flame leaped up suddenly and caught the planks above. There was no hope of concealing the danger from the passengers now, for the steamer was full of smoke, and wild cries from the deck announced that the danger was known. They mast face the most terrible situation known to the sea, the one of all others the moat feared—fire! - Women shriek- ed and fainted, strong men trembled and could not move hand or foot, and others ran wildly about tbe decks ren- dering no assistance. Mabel Vane, ut- terly bewildered by the sudden horror, felt a strong hand clutch her artii anA saw Will Clay, blackened by smoke and singed by flame. "Go aft!" be said hoarsely. "Stand on the port quarter and wait for me, and I will save you or die trying. Obey me, girl; I am your master now." She looked at him in mute wonder and obeyed him in silence. . He sprang away and began to fight the fire as he could, aided by the officers and crew a th ng ng th. it —a ty lie ad in he n - ed far er er ut r- e- n, r n y Y n 0 k e d d t. d P t a and some few of the passengers wno kept their heads. Among these was Arthur Vane, a handsome old gent man with an engaging face. "You are a -man, William Clay," said as the two hurled the contents a great water cask down the op hatch. "If we ever escape, the co pany shall know that they have a ma in their employment. If we don't, it all the same. Have you seen m daughter?" "I sent her aft Just now and told h that I would save her or lose my lif and I'll do it, too, because I love her "Love her -you!" "Just now you said I was a man said Will quietly. "Lay hold on th cask, you. What are you shirkin for? Can't we talk and work too?" A strange smile came over the fac of the old merchant, and they hurle the cask into the water and assiste the man working at the fail in raisin it. "Don't think I'm a fool, Mr. Vane, A CONFIDENTIAL CASE. le- It (Brought Out an Sanest Con About a Stolen' Hog. "It has long, been a matter t f ment," said the old lawyer, who :. in a reminiscent mood, "whether :1 lawyer should defend a man t':utt {.t he of en m - n knows to be guilty.

"At that time every one kept at least " one hog to be killed in' the fall a.id said Will. "If I lived a thousand yea rs salted down for use in the winter.

".1 he ease was about to be called Mr. Vane said not a word, and Wi Clay was silent. They worked ha to save the steamer, but the flame gained upon them inch by inch an drove them aft. "Give it up, captain," whispere Will. "Get opt the boats and provisio them. Take time for all you want and we will fight the fire." The sailors worked with a will untl they saw the boats drawing up to th gangway and the passengers takin places, when they left their work and sprang for the boats. The passengers made a rush at the salve moment, but as they neared the gangway they met Will Clay, a pistol in each hand and his eyes flashing fire. "Stand back, there!" he cried. "Do you call yourselves men? Do you want to swamp the boats and spoil your only chance?" "Get out of the way!" hissed a gigan- tic Swede, raising his heavy band. "Out of the way or 1 will crush you with a single blow." A pistol cracked and- the - man 1 a fel n� a, :. shot , 7c csL�li:, throag,i the s..c tlr,s_L'. The crowd recoiled before this determined young man, for even i an hour like this men fear sudden death. "Keep back, I say!" repeated the young mate. "Pass along those ladies first, for they go in the first boat." The order was promptly obeyed, and then six of the crew, called out by name, went into the boat and pulled it away from the gangway under com- mand of the first mate. Boat after boat pulled up to the gangway, received its There load and d pulled away. was no more rushing, for there' was death In the eyes of the young man and the cap- tain, who had taken his place by his side. "My daughter is not in the boats, young man," said 'Aurthur Vane hoarsely. "Miss Vane," cried Will, "you can •come now." Mabel, who had been standing apart, hurried forward. Mr. Vane stepped in- to the boat, and the last of the crew followed. Then a panic seemed to seize them, and they pushed off, leav- ing the captain and the mate upon the doomed steamer as long tongues of flame leaped out toward the boat. Through this fiery barrier the two men dashed and were seen striking out for the boat. "Stop!" cried Mr. Vane. "You have left the captain and Mr. Clay!" The men looked at him fiercely, but 1 the steady eye of the old man awed them, and the two were helped into the boat, the captain supported by the' strong arm of his gallant mate. The boats pulled away together, while the column of flame which shot in the air announced the fate of the Gray Eagle. They reached the islands safely after a week had passed. * * * * * e * There is a young man who sails a steamer from London to Alexandria whose name is Will Clay, and he is married.

Not 1 so very many years ago Edward Sass was acting at Johannesburg in a com- pany organized by his brother-in-law, George Edwards. One of the plays produced was "The Solicitor," by Mr. Darnley. During one of the acts the players wore uniforms and accouter- ments. Mr. Sass received a request from Mr. Bleksley, an official of the local fire brigade, to lend the swords used In the play to the Transvaal gov- ernment in orderto make a good dis- play at the - opening of the Delagoa Bay railway. The government was short of swords and thought that even theatrical weapons would be more ef- fective than empty scabbards and re- volver cases.

ELASTIC APPOINTMENTS. Original Way In Which an M. C. Pleases Ilia Constituents. A noted M. C, familiarly known as Joe, is one of the thriftiest men in con- gress, and the patronage at his disposal is made to do -effective work in his home district. Not long ago he re- quested of a certain chief in the inte- rior department an appointment as la- borer for oue of his constituents. The was request q n s promptly complied with, but, muc'1 to the surprise of the chief, as promptly declined. The member was sent for. - "What does this /neap?” demanded the official. "The man you were so urgent to have named as a laborer de- clines the position." "Yes, I know," replied the M. C. "1 advised him to." "You advised him to," echoed the chief. "What was the matter? 1 gave you exactly what you asked for, didn't I?" "Yes," responded Joe. "I have no fault to Hod with the appointment The case is like this: My constituents follow rale down to Washington hoping to get soft berths in the government service. There are a dozen here now and not places enough to go around. .1 secure the appointment for one, he asks my advice, and I tell him to decline; his job at home is better, so he goes back satisfied. 1 appoint another.

A workman in Cooper institute, hav- ing occasion to, ascend a ladder to do some repairing in one of the public rooms, called to an old man whom he happened to see standing by watching hini, "Here, old fellow, bold the ladder for me, won't you?" The "old fellow" started forward and held the ladder for the w6rkman while he climbed up and did his work. - "That unpretentious and willing old man," says The Independent, "was Pe- ter Cooper." It was Just like him. Pe- ter Cooper's aim in life and in the be- neficent institution founded by him might well be characterized by the words "holding the ladder." Thou- sands of rightly ambitious men and women owe the possibility of their ad- vancement to Peter Cooper. He has held, and still holds, the ladder, and hundreds upon hundreds of successful and grateful climbers as they rise bless his memory. We cannot all build such piles as Cooper Union, but we can hold the ladder somewhere, somehow, for somebody. Our 'First Emperofr. At the time when the war with Spain had been brought. to a successful close a number of statesmen were discussing the future of the country over their cigars in Washington.

Not long before the close of Gold- smith's life he produced the brilliant and humorous lues of "Retaliation." Varied accounts are given of the origin of this poem. It will be remembered that in a joke Garrick wrote the fol- lowing couplet as an epitaph for Gold- smith: Here lies Nolly Goldsmith, for shortness called Noll,' Who wrote like an angel, but talked like poor poll. It' was on April Gold- smith ii 4, 1774, that 3old- smith died. The precise spot where he was buried in the Temple eburchyard is unknown. This is Johnson's summing up of the character of Goldsmith: "He had rais- ed money and squandered it by every artifice of acquisition and folly of ex- pense. But let not his frailties be re- membered; he was a very great man." —William Black's "Life of Goldsmith." Daniel Webster's Paper Cutter. Joseph M. Terry of Peconic, N.

APRIL 28 1900. DRESS AND FASHION. MODES GAY OR GRAVE FOR THE MO- MENT AND DAYS TO COME. Latest Tailor Made Gowns Simple, but Effective—Well Built Bodic. New Dress Fabrics. -Frilled Elbow Sleeves For Thin Gown.. The waist of the moment is the tailor made gown, but it must be smart and dainty, and the two models given carry out this Mea well. The knife plaited dress is made iu pale rose cloth, with a tabbed vest of darker rose velvet, the collar and chemisette of white sat- in. The turquoise blue homespun coat and skirt have facings of white panne braided with black and white cord. There are many gray and black cos- tumes in homespuns, butturquoise blue and rose pink are favorites of the moment. This season corsage designs surpass in detail and delicacy all that have SMART BUT SIMPLE TAILOR GOWNS. gone before. They are one and all be- witching, from the simple, perfectly built little shirr of spotted foulard to the extravagantly ephemeral evening model. Of the two useful waists pic- tured one is in blue taffeta that drops at the waist into an exceptionally shapely corselet of white foulard, pat- termed with blue and laid in close hor- izontal stitched tucks. The front is a replica of the back view given. The second is of pink taffeta minutely tuck- ed in groups, divided by a feather stitching In white silk. The top is cut in a small round decollete to display a chemisette and high collar of similarly tucked white taffeta. Minute stripes and checks of varying size are all to be worn in spring goods, and mohair, with its stiff, firm thread, bids fair to have vogue for hard wear. Voile has been checked and striped and brocaded. after the new order, which is generally in white of a light sketchy pattern and appears to be em- broidered. For country wear plain coating, misty checks, suitings, and plain cloths will aline worn. The blending of colors in many of the new checks is remarkable. Brown, green and white are combined, orange, green and white, but in everything the pastel colorings assert themselves. A new silk ci ipe, covered with tiny embroidered pin spots, is likely to be adapted to both evening and morning wear. A revival of the frilled elboty sleeve will adorn many of the new thin gowns. The long sleeve will terminate in in- numerable : ills and ornamental cuff over the hand. The princess mode will be retained on a few gowns, depicted in a series of tucks from bust to the hips, but a pref- erence will be given to the corsage and NEWEST CORSAGES. skirt, as the waist line is more defined by the quaintly arranged belt or scarf necessitated by the inevitable bolero, which seems to be a living monument of fidelity, since at least a suggestion of its lines figures on many of the most chic bodices. Particularly fascinating little coats or Jackets somewhat in bolero effect are this season provided for the days when oke first lays off heavier wraps. These are of black taffeta or glace silk and beautifully tailor built in a trim military style, but feminized by vest or tie of fluffy lace. Flowery Phrases. Professor Walter Raleigh, who has published a rather clever book on "Style," likes making phrases. "The poetry of Catullus," he said in a col- lege address, the other day, "has sur- vived the passing of a religion and an empire; the diary of Mr. Samuel Pepys will be as fresh as at the day of its birth, when the Forth bridge is oxide pf iron and London is a geological pan- cake of brick dust." BELIEVED IN GHOSTS CR. ELLIOTT COUES SAID THAT HE OFTEN SAW THEM. The Famous Ornithologist's Descrip- tion of the Spirit of a Dead Fr:e:,d Who Appeared to and Conversed With Him In His Room. Dr. Elliott roues, the famous orni- thologist and member of the Ameri- can Academy of Sciences, was long recognized as the foremost advocate of belief in •the existence of ghosts. He had promised several of his friends that, if able to do so, he would appear to them after his ilwn demise, and they are still waiting, with no little inter- est; - to see if he can carry out the agreement. "I have myself seen the ghosts of a good many dead persons," said the doctor one day. "I remember one oc- :casion when I had just gone to bed, the light being turned out, I was com- posing myself to slumber when I sud- denly became aware of a presence in the room. The impression conveyed to my mind was that it was the pres- ence of a certain person lately deceas- ed, with whom I had been on very in- timate terms. In fact, I felt an .over:,. powering sense of the nearness of the individual in question. "About the same moment there arose slowly from the floor a nebulous mass of what looked like shining white vapor, which began to take shape, as did the smoke from the cas- ket opened by the fisherman in the 'Arabian Nights" tales. Gradually it assumed a more distinct outline, un- til it presented a radiant image of my friend. The lips appeared to move, and from them came an intelligible ut- terance, a message in short, from the departed. I do not care to say what that message was. "1 can assure you that the vision was no dream, and the nature of the mes- sage was such as to eliminate, to my own satisfaction at all events, the the- ory of hallucination. What, then, was this shape of shining white vapor? ,Was it a human soul? It is a question pregnant with intense interest. "Each of us, I believe, has in him a 'ghost, which ordinarily is confined to the precincts of the body. When I die, my ghost leaves my body perma- nently, and, having done so, perhaps it may continue to be the vehicle and means of expression of conscious will, memory and understanding. St. Paul says, 'There is a natural body and a spiritual body.' It is of the _spiritual body that I am speaking. ' "Our senses take cognizance of no forms of matter except those which 'are in a certain degree of condensa- tion, but the spiritual body maybe of a more rarefied and tenuous substance. The nonappearance of ghosts to .us may be a question not of the existence of specters, but of the acuteness of our perceptive faculties. "My own experience is that the com- ing of an apparition is always preced- ed by a curious sensation which I call the 'ghost chill.' When this symptom arrives, the threshold of consciousness seems to be shifted to the extent of rendering possible a perception of something ordinarily invisible. The change is usually very brief, lasting only a few seconds, during which the manifestation occurs. "One reason that I have for believing ;the evidence of my own senses in this ;matter is that on several occasions the :apparition of my own personality has presented itself to other persons in places where my body was not at the time. Some years ago I was in Chica- go, at an ordinary evening party with about 40 friends, when an individual in Washington, who did not even know where I was, was visited by my phan- tasm and received from it a brief mes- sage stating where I was at the time and giving the names of two or three of the guests present—persons with !whom the Observer was unacquainted. !This was one of the rare cases where a ghost made itself audible. "You ask what would happen if one should approach a ghost such as I have described and try to touch it. My re- 1ply is that there would certainly be no (danger in doing so, for specters never ado anybody any harm, the fear of them entertained by most people being sim- Iply a dread of that which is unknown and not understood. Whatever is un- known is always terrible. But the phantom is composed of matter too tenuous to present any obstacle, and II do not doubt that it would dissolve 'and disappear if you attempted to walk through it."—Washington Post. Fish Living In Hot Water. , There is a pond at Golconda which is fed by the waters from the hot springs. This pond has an area of two or three acres, and the temperature of the wa- ter is about 75 degrees, and in som places where the bot water bubbles up from the bottom the temperature is al- most up to a Boiling point. Recently a discovery has been made that this warm lake is literally alive with carp, one of which are more than one foot ong. All efforts to catchthem th m with a ook and line have failed, and they will not touch the most tempting bait. A few of them have been shot, and, :contrary,to the general supposition, the flesh was hard and palatable. Refrigerated Egg.. Eggs beeeme unwholesome when kept in refrigerators. A. fungus forms in thein which is easily found by the microscope, although it is not noticea- ble to the taste. The fungus consti- tutes a danger when we consider how many eggs are consumed by all classes of society, and people of delicate con- stitutions ought to be particularly care- ful that they eat fresh and not kept eggs.

The metal bedstead, either of enam- eled iron, brass or steel, is one of the most useful inventions of late years. It is cleanly and not expensive in most cases, but at the same time, unless it is adorned with lace canopy and val- ance, It hardly seems in keeping with the other furnishings of an elegant bedroom. On this account, says The Designer, a new style of wooden bed- stead has been introduced which has all the decorative effect of the old kind and none of its. faults. These bedsteads are made up in quaintly plain designs. All kinds of wood are used, one of the most popular being green ash, the beautiful coloring of which is imparted by dyes, but the grain which shows through the dye is natural. Another pretty wood is gold- en ash. In fact, all the light woods are preferred at present for bedroom furnishings. These new bedsteads are without the wooden slats and joints which were so difficult to keep clean GREEN ASH BEDSTEAD. when the old fashioned beds were in vogue, but have metal sockets in which the ends of the iron lath frame fit, thus making them as impervious to dust and insect life as the iron or brass bed. The modern wooden bed stands ei- ther high or low, as best suits the fan- cy of the owner. The high bed gener- ally is provided with a .valance and, if it has high posts, with a tester as well, but the latter Is now so arranged that it is purely decorative and in nowise excludes the free circulation of air. White spreads are out of fashion, and in their place are jsed quilts of china silk, satin or Roe over silk. These quilts in the daytime cover the entire bed, and roll bolsters, covered to match, are placed at the head and foot. The quilt and bolsters are both removed at night. Pillowshams are no longer in fash- ion, as pillows themselves are conceal- ed during the day, but pillowcases are ruffled all around with hemstitched cambric or have big monograms work- ed in white flax floss either in the cen- ter or at one end. Linen pillowcases are frequently used, even when liner\ sheets are not, for the coolness which is considered so undesirable for the body is often very grateful to the head. True It Is. " Gur-rola are niver satisfied," mused the janitor philosopher. "Whin they are in short skirts, they are crying fez long wane, an whin they git long want they have to hold thin up. "--,Chioagi News.

The opening of the mouth a trifle wide in speaking or laughing after food has been taken, the hurried or nervous movement, the mouthful that is but very little larger than it ought to be, the spilling of even a drop of liquid upon the cloth, the crumbs about the . plate and the frequent use of the nap- kin tell a tale which no amount of agreeable conversation can hide. Ex- quisite neatness in conveying the food to the mouth as well as in masticating it is one of the necessities of the table. Another point about which one can- not be too careful is the conversation. There should not be as much as a sug- gestion of anything that will provoke unpleasantnt is or disgust. If this were more often insisted upon at Home, there would be less need of caution.abroad. A point of great inmportance in all social intercourse is promptness. It should be practiced in keeping appoint- ments, in answering letters, in return- ing calls, in acknowledging gifts, in sending an appreciative note for an at- tention received and in response to in- vitations. Too often the latter are de- layed for days, to the annoyance of the hostess, when a few minutes given the matter at once would have carried a compliment with the acceptance. A wedding gift may he sent a month before the wedding. It should be ac- companied by the visiting card, and the package should be addressed to the bride, if a friend to her, or to hdr house, addressed to the bridegroom, if it is he with whom you are best ac- quainted. The future circumstances of the cou- ple should influence one in the choice of a gift. If silver is chosen, do not order it marked, but have the jeweler's name plainly visible, so that in case of duplicates it may be exchanged. There should be no feeling on the part of the giver because a present is exchanged for something that is more needed, says The Household in concluding this enumeration of some of the small Courtesies of life. Spring Renovation. Willow or rattan chairs that are soiled with age and use can be freshen- ed and tinted anew, according to Good Housekeeping. First wash off every bit of dust in all the interstices. Then with a soft, small, long haired brush tint the entire surface with stain of burned sienna or sienna and vandyke brown. Great care must be taken to reach and cover every particle of sur- face. This treatment suits willow, which will receive stain, but rattan, which is harder than willow, needs first to be painted or enameled. The willow, after the stain is dry, may be varnished like any other wood. The first skates were made out of the bones of animals. Sometimes chil- dren would sit on the jawbone of a horse or cow and propel themselves along the ice by means of iron staves. 1 PENDENT EDGE. , if over 10, increased by 5 throw overs, so that the last is over 30. Repeat from * for the desired length. The heading consists of 3 rows: First.—Fasten silk on the wrong side, and under each string work 2 doubles and between rolls 1 double with 2 chain stitches between each double. Second.—Turn and under each space of 2 chain stitches work 2 roll stitches, over 5, 1 roll in each double. Third.—Work a double between ev- ery 2 roll stitches with., chain stitches between. For the pendants chain 6 stitches, In the first stitch work 12 roll stitches, over 15, join to the first roll. Cut the silk 5 or 6 inches from it and place a little ball of cotton on it and gather the edge with a needle; draw up tight and be sure that the thread is in the center of the pendant before sewing to a point. Rock Maple Planked Shad. Like many great discoveries, that of ' rock maple planks for shad was acci- dental. It occurred in Maine in this wise: As no great ash could be had for the planking, a fresh and sappy slab was sawed off from the cant dog stock (rock maple) at the mill, and to this the shad n as pegged, after which it was upholstered with thin strips of fat salt pork and placed upon the coals to cook. The treat of the fire started the maple sap in the slab and made it sizzle about the shad, and by the time the fish was cooked it was surrounded with a crystal wall of maple sugar. Men who helped eat the first shad ever cooked in maple sirup say it was some- thing to remember for a lifetime. At present nobody thinks of using white ash when green rock maple can be pro- cured for cooking shad. ad. Pretty and Useful Trimming. This edge, illustrated by The Ladies' World, may be used on any article re- quiring brass or plush ornaments. It is especially handsome on the edge of curtains and portieres and on uphol, stered chairs and footstools in place of the gimp usually employed. The edge is worked in the length,- the points be- ing made first, after which the head- ing is worked on, the pendants being joined to the points last. • Begin with a chain of 9loose stitches.

In the sitting room there ►vas an open grate fire which was cov- ered every night with flue coal and a few shovelfuls of ashes, so that the room never became quite cold. We found that if we heated a piece of old flannel as hot as possible and stuffed it down into the foot of a boot and stood the boot in front of the fireplace* it was as dry as a bone next morning. The handiest thing to keep the boot leg open is a spring steel corset rib about 18 inches long by three-quarter inch in width.—Forest and Stream. Black Rain. The first case of black rain which comes under review occurred at Gra- hamstown and the surrounding dis trict in August, 1888, and it extended -over an area of no less than 360 square miles, says Chambers' Journal. Since then there have happened several showers of a similar description, but less pronounced in their sable charac- ter. Other showers of black rain have been recorded in Ireland, one of which was felt over an area of 400 square Miles. No one seems to have microscopically examined the water which fell at Gra- hamstown, but it was noted that the liquid gradually cleared when placed In a suitable vessel, and a black pre- cipitate fell from it. In the latter cases referred to the deposit has been care- fully examined and was found to con- sist of microscopic organisms, which averaged about the twelve thousand five hundredth part of an inch in length, and which were identified with the same fungoid, organisms that are responsible for blight in the plants which they infest and subsequently for smut, mildew and rust in wheat and barley. The writer sums up his remarks thus: "Humidity is known to contrib- ute largely to the copious production of fungi, and during protracted drought the regions affected thereby will re- midin comparatively bare of fungi, but during the seasons of frequent rain- falls the production of a fungoid vege- tation is largely increased." St. Helena. St. Helena is a great place for caves and hills. Both abound, particularly the latter. Geologically speaking, the island is largely, if not wholly, vol- canic, and a lot of extinct craters are apparent. Some of the pinnacles have queer names, such as Lot's Wife, the Man and the Horse, the Asses' Ears, Holdfast Tom, Old Joan Point, Stone Top, etc. The only inhabited place is James- town, which has a population of about 2,500. It lies in a deep valley sur- rounded by very high hills. It is not a particularly healthy place. Ladder hill is where the government house is situated. It is so called because of the almost precipitous ladderlike wooden stairs, by which its acclivity of 600 feet has to be scaled. Nearly four miles inland from James- town is an isolated farmhouse, on an elevated plateau about 2,000 feet above the sea. This is Longwood, where Na- poleon lived from 1815 until he died there, in 1821. The house is a long, low, whitewashed, fairly trim building, with extensive outhouses, some rather fine old trees and a good bit of decent farm land. Bacteria in Hailstones. According to Professor Harrison, Ca- nadian hailstones have two unknown species of micro' organisms to which he has applied the names, respectively, of Bacterium flavus grandinis and Mu- cor malleus grandinis. He also, like preceding investigators, has discover- ed in hailstones various fluorescing bacteria, which leads him to support the theory of Bujwid that hailstones are produced from surface water which is carried up by storms and then frozen.—Popular Science. There is no fun in playing cards for fun, and it is dangerous to bet.—Atchi- son Globe. STYLES FOR MEN. Some of the Thiegs New, Smart and Correct 'This Season. Worsteds will be used for suits in preference to other materials, but cher- tots her- tots and fancy flannels will be popular also. Flannels will be in stripes more than checks. mixtures or plaids, and grays will predominate.' There will be some changes in the cut and finish of outer garments, .-the most conspicuous of which will be the more shapely fit of the sack coats. They will be almost close fitting about the waist, with a flare button. There will also be a tend- - eucy toward "square" shoulders, and this, together with the tight waist, will give well formed men a rather military appearance. The bottom width of trousers bas been decreased again, and, although some men will doubtless go to extremes iu this respect, the peg - top of last season is preserved, and the slightly narrower bottom gives the leg a neater appearance that is well suited to the spring and summer months. It is believed that more sack suits will be worn during the coming season than for many years, and more styles will be popular. The warns weather will bring the madras ties, and by that time higher colors will be worn. String ties will not all have the bat wing ends, but will be made also with round or square ends. The polka dot tie, black or dart blue, which was put away last season, will be in good demand again. Shirts will be just as brightly colored this season as they were last year, but the large plaid patterns will not be popular. Stripes, from the narrow pin pattern to half inch figures, and plain designs are shown by all shirtmakers. Nearly all these fancy shirts are made to be worn with white collars, but the cuffs of the same material as the shirts are attached to the garment. The comfortable, soft finished negli- gee shift, with collar and cuffs attach- ed of the same material, will be worn SPRING AND SUMMER SUITS. by men who appreciate comfort, but the white, warm collar will be the fashionable thing. Socks are in line with shirts as far as color is concerned, and, although plain black and blaci, with a small white dot will be woe n and will be considered perfectly cor- rect, young men will wear hosiery of the loud and flashy style. The silk hat for spring and summer has a lighter curl and less bell. The brim is 1-% to 2 inches in width, the band is of plain black silk, and 'the hat is 1' t and shapely. The derb• crown is lower than it was last year and has more taper, and the brim is like that of the silk hat. Alpines in pearl, brown, drab and black will be worn, and a new alpine, without binding, trimmed with a scarf, will be favored by golfers. The pointed toe shoe has no standing in the fashions of 1900. Shoes for walk- ing as well as for dress are made on the common sense last. Toes are round and soles broad. Straw hats will be like those worn last year, except that the brims will be slightly wider, and colored bands and scarfs will he more in demand. These items and illustrations are gleaned from the N w York Tribune's resume of spring fashions for the well dressed man. Stains on Table Linen. For tea stns dip the stained por- tion of the cloth in a bowl of warm soft water and squeeze and press with the hands. If the tea was very strong or the stain an old one, add a few drops of ammonia to the water, or mix a lit- tle powdered chalk to a paste with wa- ter, spread it over the spot and brush off when dry. For claret stains cover the spot while wet with a thick layer of salt. If this is not done at the time, lay the stained portion over a bowl and pour boiling water through it until the stain disap- pears; this also answers for coffee stains, says Table Talk. His Capacity Had Limits. An old farmer who was in the habit of eating what was set before him, asking no questions, dropped into a Memphis cafe for dinner. The waiter gave him the menu card and explained to the old gentleman that it was the list of dishes the cafe served for din- ner that day. Accordingly he began at the top of the bill of fare and or- dered eacji thing in turn until he had covered about one-third of it. The prospect of what was still before him was too overpowering. yet there were some things at the end that he want- ed to try. He called the waiter and. confidently marking off the spaces on the card with his index finger, said: "Look here, i've et frum Char to that. Can I skip from that to thar and eat on to the bottom?"—Memphis Scimitar. a 1 THE GAZETTE. IRVING TODD a SON. SATURDAY, APRIL 28th, 1900. Minnesota Journalism. Mayor J. E.

Yesterday afternoon, at -the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Fairbank, occurred the mar- riage of Miss Helen M. Fairbank and Mr. Edward F. Harnish, of The News. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. S. A. Middleton, of Brownsdale, a brother in law of the bride, in the presence of the immediate family, the Bow Knot Club, of whin the bride is a member, and a few immediate friends. Promptly three o'clock Mise Susie Farringt sang 0 Promise Me, during'the si aing of which the bridal nary entered the parlor. Mas- ter Paul and Miss Maude Middleton., nephew and niece of the bride, were the ribbon bearers, followed by the bride and groom, unattended. The bride was becomingly attired in a handsome gown of white silk tissue elaborately trimmed with ribbon and accordian pleating, and carried bride's roses. The groom wore the conven- tional black. The a house was darkened and the rooms brilliantly illuminated and decorated with smilax, carnations, and roses in white and pink. After the congratulations refreshments were served. The happy couple have been the recipients of many beautiful and costly gifts: The bride and groom left on the even- ing train for a short stay in the Twin Cities and Hastings, and will be at home to their friends after June let in the Hanley house, on Bench Street. -Chatfield News, 26th. Burglary at Prescott. The postoffiee at Prescott was burglarized last Sunday, about four a. m., and an unsuccessful attempt made upon the safe with giant pow- der taken from a railroad tool box, but only the handle was 'blown off. It contained over $100. The ex- plosion set fire to the fixtures, a case --� ".eontaining mail matter being partial- ly destroyed. About $40 in stamps were taken. The alarm was given by Mrs. B. J. Schmitz, who lived op- posite, and the department turned ou,t just in time to save the building. About midnight a stranger of medium. size, dark complexion. and wearing dark clothes was seen in the black- smith shop, and when asked what he was doing answered "nit." It is presumed that he secured the tools there to do the job. The fishermen engaged in seining fish in Lake St. Croix are reaping a harvest this spring.

A Sudden Death In Vermillion. W. 0. Simmons, an old resident of Mankato and vicinity, who with his daughter, Mrs. F. C. Huntley, and two sons were en route overland to' take up land at Stanley, Chippewa County, Wis., stopped Wednesday night at the residence of Dominick Lucius, in Vermillion. The next morning, between seven and eight,Mr. • Simmons, who was rather unwell and quite aged, eighty-ene years, fell upon the porch, striking his forehead upon a coal Scuttle, inflicting a gash three inches long. He was asked by his daughter if she should give him a cup of tea, and he answered that he wanted to get to his wagon, and in a few moments expired. He was brought into town and placed in the undertaking room at F. W. Kramer's, where Dr. J. M. Tucker stitched up the wound. The coroner deemed an inquest unnecessary.

Hastings is now an insane asylum town in fact as well as in name, the first installment of patients having been received Thursday. They were brought up from Rochester, two coaches and a baggage car being transferred at Red Wing to the regu- lar eleven o'clock train on the river division. On arriving at the station the cars were immediately switched over to the Hastings & Dakota track and taken to the edge of the asylum grounds by the switch engine, from which place it is but a short walk to the building. Everything had been placed in readiness for their coming, Supt. Carmichael having so ably ar- ranged every detail that there was no hitch or confusion, and from all ap- pearances the institution is running as smoothly as any of the older ones in the state. On entering the building the patients were separated, fifty being placed in each of the two wards, and after a few minutes of rest dinner was announced. The spacious dining room presented a very inviting ap- pearanoe, and from all indications the meal was thoroughly enjoyed. Details were then made for kitchen and dining room work, those selected entering upon their duties with the familiarity of long experience. The class of men received are above the average found in asylums, and were picked with a view of making a good record for our institution. They are mostly of middle age, and the mana- gers should be well pleased with the liberality of the Rochester officials. It is intended to set the men at work at once in clearing up the grounds and building a Targe barn, after which the foundation of the other wing of the main building will be commenced. Those accompanying the patients were Dr. D. M. Jones, president of the beard of trustees; Dr. A. F. Kil- bourne, superintendent of the Roches- ter Hospital; W. H. Knapp, steward; Charles Anderson, supervisor; John Howe, head nurse; Joseph Marum, nurse; C. H. Laack, druggist; F. A. James, head farmer; J. L. Vokes and T. J. Danger, attendants. The latter is the only one to remain here. The 'board of trustees are to be congratulated upon their wise selec- tion of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Car- michael as superintendent and matron. No better or more competent persons could have been found for these positions. The interests of the state are carefully looked after, and Mr. Carmichael' has exhibited sound judg- ment in the minor appointments, his sole aim being to secure the most competent help obtainable.

Libbey has made excellent progress on his sawmill during the past week, owing to the large force of carpenters at work. The building is nearly enclosed, the north half having been finished last week, while a few days more will complete the remain- ing portion. The engine and boilers of the old mill were not seriously damaged by the fire, and after a thorough"overhauling will be as ser- viceable as ever. The new machinery, for the mill has nearly all been re- ceived, and no time will be lost in installing it as soon as the building is finished. Good progress has also been made at the planing factory. The machinery on the first floor is in running order, and started up on Thursday on a long list of orders. The machinery for the second story, with the exception of two machines, has been received, but is not yet placed in position. John Kleis' new hotel building is a credit to the city, presenting a very neat and substantial appearance.

There is only one way to cure deafn,s, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Des'ness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- sult. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. Sold by druggists 75o. F. J.

They swung along together with fin momentum. They were conscious o their youth and strength and vigo Miss Blynn gave voice to her thought in an indirect fashion. "Some people," she said, "are old an weery and sit by the fire and wonde if the winter will never pass." They both laughed at this -it made a harmonious but startling duet, that laughter, and it echoed from the wood- ed shore. "Some people," be "responded, "go to winter and drag him out of bis d -en and shake him out of his sulks and make him dance like a trained bear." They laughed again, though neither of them had been witty. "I have been skating with you an hour," said he at length, "and I have not an idea of how you look." "I have been skating with you an hour," she retorted, . "and I do not know whether you h'kve red curls or black elf locks." "Come to the boathouse," he suggest. ed, "and see." They went !n where the fire crackled and where their friends stood in groups drinking coffee and chatting. He undid his cap with its ear laps; she untied her scarlet velvet hood. What she be- held was a young man of 24 or 25, with deep set gray eyes, a dark skin, dark hair, heavy brows, a smooth face and a targe sensitive mouth. What he beheld was a woman with a snow white skin, black eyes, melan- choly and timid in their expression; a high brow, abundant dark hair and a mouth that, essentially serious: broke into unexpected illuminating smiles. "It would be rude of me to say what a service the light bas done me," be said stupidly. "The light has told me a number of things," she responded daringly. "What?" be importuned. "That you have been a student, lov- ing solitude; that you are melancholy oftener than you are merry, and that you like a good book better than a good friend." "No, no; not the last!" She laughed and took the cup of cof- fee he offered her. He took note of her gray skating frock, with its edging of black fur, of her scarlet velvet vest and little hood and the white, pensive face peering above her voluminous boa She fell to talking with some others, and presently she flashed up to bim for a second. "I was rude to you with my personal comments," she said under her breath, speaking quickly. "Please forgive me.

She had seemed not t care for him after that first night, bu accuse himself as he might of havin been an -infatuated fool he could no rid himself of the idea that for a fe hours his soul was nearer to hers tha it had ever been to that of any othe human being. To be sure, their hap piness and sweet intimacy had bee hidden under badinage and an affecta tion of indifference, but they wer there, all -the same. Summer came.

She had gone to til Canadian lakes nth n n 1 w a ); ish a i f m g y. Kirkland concluded that he ough to see Canada. A man really had usiness gadding off to the other sid f the world till he had seen his ow continent. He went rowing on Cana Ian lakes and nearly lost his life, bu fter a fortnight's patience he found is way, to the lodge where Miss lynn's friends lived. "Miss Blynn grew tired of our grim olitude," said her host "She says hicago is pleasant in the summer, hough I myself have yet to see the ime when I would call it pleasant, and he has gone back home to study some- hing or other.

"I am coming in a week or not at all." "Then let it oe in a week," she laughed. But !t was not a week. It was three days.

Miss Brooke, the English actress, once gave a couple of seats for the the- ater to her landlady, who had never seen her on the stage. On the follow- ing day the landlady seemed to be sat- isfied with the play, but she did not give any opinion of Paula. So Miss Brooke asked Der the straightAueation, 'What did' you think of me?"

There is a wealthy but very hard beaded citizen of Detroit who has no hesitancy in telling this story on him- self : "I! there's anything on earth grinds me it is to plunge into the social swim. I'd far rather plunge into an ice cold bath. One of these here steel pen coats makes me want to go out and hide !n the hayloft, and a standin dollar puts me into a grouch for a week after I've worn it. "But you know how women are. They'll stand right by you when livin is up hill work, skimp, hustle and save, but once they get money they want a show for it, and the bigger the show the better.

I just grinned at .carriages, horses, a coachman, a lot of servants a anookin round the house, receptions, theater parties cud all that sort of thin . g "But when they r ng in a genuine butler on me I had a warm conversa- tion with mamma and the girls. It didn't do a mite of good. They talked me clean off my feet, and the butler came. I could have got away passably with the president of the United States, but that fellow, stiff backed, high head- ed, looking . superiorlike and never smilin 'less it was to stab you, riled me awful. One day while sittin in the library I heard him tell one of the maids he was goin to resign. `What for?' she asked. 'The last lady as called took me for the barbarian' - that's me. "For years I dealt with raftsmen and lumbermen. I paid his bill for six weeks in the hospital, and his wages too. We keep no butler." -Detroit Free Press. Charlotte Droste Not Flattered. An interesting anecdote of Charlotte Bronte is recalled by Mrs. Humphry Ward !n her biographical introduction to "Vilette." In 1851 the authoress, having refused repeated invitations to London, on the ground that having done -no work she deserved no treat, finally consented to pay a short visit to the family of her friend and pub- lisher, Mr. George Smith. Thackeray was at this time at the height of his popularity in London, and Miss Bronte arrived in time to 'hear his second lecture on the English hu- morists. When !t was over, Thackeray, who had recognized the timid little woman sitting by Airs. Smith, came down from the platform, and: shaking hands with Miss Bronte, asked her how she liked !t. There are few persons who would'not have been flattered by such an attention, but Miss Bronte, on the contrary, was almost offended by it, and when she introduces a similar in- cident in "Vilette" she comments on the restlessness and the lack of de- sirable self control on the part of the lecturer. • A Tonic Needless.

Barnum's propensity for practi- cal joking began early to assert itself. Once a man was on trial !n a Local court for a small misdemeanor. Learn- ing that be had no money to hire a law- yer, Barnum offered to conduct his de- fense. With great solemnity he made a lengthy plea in which he virtually accused bis client of being guilty of half the crimes on the calendar, end- ing with a recommendation to the mer cy of the court on the ground of un• sound mind. The man, though escaping with .a merely nominal sentence, was furious at the trick that bad been played on him. He was finally appeased by Bar.' num's explanation that he bad pre- pared a defense for two different cli- ents and had in his case delivered the wrong plea -Maitland Leroy Osborne in National Magazine. Dangerous Eggs. A young clerk received instructions from the proprietor of a produce house in Front street some days ago to put into a case of eggs a card marked "Guaranteed." The proprietor thought no more about the matter until later in the day, when he was called to the phone by the pur- chaser. "I don't want these eggs," be said. "What is the matter with them?" asked the proprietor. "They are marked 'Quarantined' and are too suggestive of disease." It developed later that the clerk had written "Quarantined" instead o! "Guaranteed."-Memphle Scimitar. A Neighborhood Humorist. "Yesterday I met George as I got on the ear and I said, 'Hellc4 George, how''re you getting on?

Anti dotes For Carbolic Acid, Alcohol and vinegar are effective antidotes for carbolic acid poisoning, a Ne w York doctor announces. What- ever quantity -of the poison has been swallowed, four times as much whisky or five times as much vinegar should. be administered immediately. No oil of any kind should be given. "Thus treat- ed early enough," be adds, "all cases will recover." Biaek Coats. An English clergyman, rather pom- pous of manner, according to Spare Moments, was fond of chatting with a witty chimney sweep. Once, when the minister returned from bis summer holidays, he happen. ed to meet his youthful acquaintance, who seemed to have been at work. "Where have you been?" asked the clergyman. "Sweeping the chimneys at the vic- arage," was the boy's answer. "How man himneys are there, and how much doo yan, get for each?" was the next question. The sweep said there were 20 chim- neys and that he was paid a shilling apiece. The clergyman, after thinking a mo ment, looked at the sweep in apparent astonishment "You have earned a great deal o! money in a little time," he remarked solemnly, wondering, probably, what the 'pity fellow would reply. ..

There is something irresistible about the twitch of a polliwog's tall, the gyrations of the whirligig beetle or the sturdy stroke of the water boatman. If we feel the spell early in life and surren- der, much time is sa'w1 and Much ex• perienee gained. It is not necessary that the student's aquarium should be of any specified size or shape. or that it be constructed of any particular material. It is only essential that it be natural, at least as nearly natural as conditions will allow. If one is to make an indoor pond, it will be necessary to go to some real pond for • suggestions. An imitation of the essential features will Insure success in the aquarium. The pond is open to air and light. to sun and shad- ow. The aquarium should be large at the top and should ..}and in a cool place where there is nvt constant sun- light—a north window does very well. The water in the pons' .s cooler than the air above it; the health of the oc- cupants of the aquarium requires cool water. Who goes about changing the water in all the ponds? Chat is it keeps the water sweet in some of there through the whole year? Examine a, wholesome pond, and you will find that in It are both animals and plants+. They dwell together in harmony, mach living for it- self alone, it is true, but each absolute- ly dependent on the other for its Ilfe. Many of the animals are vegetarians and find their food close at hand as soon as they conic forth to feed. But even -the carnivorous, the cannibals, are dependent chiefly on the plants for A New Way of Treating Many Pain- ful Ailments. It has been found that there are many painful ailments which may be acted upon by electric light. The patient basks in a bath of light and heat, ex- periencing nothing but pleasant sensa- tions, aud, in most cases, an immediate and comforting sense of relief from pain. Men and women who for years have lost control oY their limbs and who have unavailingly tried every known cure, says Pearson's Magazine, have arisen after a course of electric heat baths and walked with perfect freedom. The apparatus which en- ables patients to bathe In electric light is extremely simple. To an adjusta- ble stand are fitted two large copper or nickel plated reflectors, which can be moved In any direction. If a patient is lying in bed. re- flectors are placed on either side, ad- justed to the exact position for locating the rays where desired. On the reflect- ing surfaces are the electric lamps which radiate the luminous heat rays. The heat may be regulated by varying the distance of the reflectors or the number of lamps or by means of a special regulator which controls the electric curreut. Those parts of the body, such as the armpits or shoulders, which it' would be impossible to treat locally with other arrangements, are easily dealt with by the new system. When the patient is in the right posi- tion and is comfortably settled (he may be fully clothed or covered with blan- kets without affecting the power of the rays), the current is turned on, and heat and light of considerable intensity are immediately produced. In a few moments the thermometer will register 300 degrees F. I have seen patients chatting cheerfully and experiencing no inconvenience while an affected limb has been exposed to heat rays at a temperature of 400 degrees F. It aright be supposed that such a heat as this would roast a limb. Undoubtedly there would be evil results were it not for the important fact that dry heat is employed, which evaporates perspi- ration as soon as it appears on the body. AMATEUR AQUARIUM. their air supply. Then, too, the bodies of the animals give off carbonic acid gas, which, if not taken up by the plants, would soon render animal life Impossible in the poison laden water. So the plants and animals in the water are Interdependent. When the number of plants in the aquarium is just 'lough to supply the oxygen for the animals and to use the carbonic acid gas, we say that the two are balanced or that an equilibrium has been estab- lished. The water in a perfectly bal- anced aquarium should not need chang- ing except in case of some accident. Every pond, ditch or sluggish stream will furnish plants suitable for the aquarium. The smaller, more delicate ones, like eel grass, water milfoil, water weed, stoneworts, grow almost every- where, add beauty and grace to the aquarium and give a goodly supply of oxygen for the animals. Florists usu- ally have aquarium plants, but If we buy our plants we miss the fun of get- ting them from the pond! Put enough clean s..nd into the aqua- rium to make a layer two or three inches deep, and pack it clown well. 'Anchor the plants firmly in the sand. It is not necessary to have rooted plants, as new roots will form on the burled ends of the stems that are thus transplanted from the large to the miniature pond. Water from the pond or rainwater 'barrel is the best for beginning the aquarium as well as for replenishing that which evaporates. When a half dozen or more plants have been set, the aquarium is ready to be filled. Pour the water in over the open hand held near the bottom of the jar to avoid stirring things up and making the water muddy. Allow the whole to stand three or four days be- fore putting in the animals. Albradium. Since the wholesale production and consequent cheapening of aluminium, which within living memory was worth more than its weight in gold, Many useful alloys have been made. Among these one of the most recent is slbradium, a I.,pettectly white metal of kttractive appearance, which can be 1F lade into plates, tubes, rods or orna- mental castings. The new metal is said to be free from corrosion and to be extremely durable, while its price compares favorably with brass, German silver, bronze, etc. As a set off against these obvious advantages it may be noted that in most aluminium compounds a great difficulty is found in the matter of soldering and in ob- taining perfect screw threads.—Cham- ters' Journal.

The cause of the so called spontane- ous outbreaks of tire in stacks remain- ed for ages a sealed mystery, says Pop- ular Science. It has remained for the bacteriologist to unravel the cause of these conflagrations. M. Jean de Le- verdo recalls the fact that such com- bustions, as is well known to farmers, occur most frequently in stacks of in- sufficiently dried materials. In the presence of moisture the bacteria pres- ent in the fodder grow with marvelous rapidity. This growth is accompanied by the generation of heat. At the same time fermentation processes are set up, which transform the material into car- bonaceous matter, porous and very Light. But the chemical processes are also attended by the liberation of heat, consequently a temperature may be reached which has been estimated at 300 degrees. Owing to the insufficien- cy of oxygen in the middle of a stack the material consumes without flame, but should a sudden access of oxygen be permitted oxidation proceeds with greatly accelerated rapidity, the tem- perature rapidly increases and, the_sup- ply of oxygen being sufficient, the whole superheated, highly combustible mass suddenly bursts into flame. M. de Le- verdo states that in order to guard against such a result M. Benesch, an Austrian agriculturist, has invented a long iron prong with which small quan- tities of the material in the center of the stack can be brought to the surface and then examined. - Disease From Stamps. A surgeon in the French army has just discovered that stamp collectors may be the means of disseminating tu- berculosis by means of the stamps. A ratan in his employ was a great col- lector, and occupied his spare time in fixing the stamps in albums or on sheets of gummed paper for sale, moistening the stamps for the purpose with his tongue. Three hundred of the stamps were placed in sterilized water and with some of the water eight guinea pigs were inoculated. Each died with characteristic tuberculous lesions. Children, says the surgeon, should be warned against placing any stamps near their mouths in order to moisten them, and foreign stamps should be disinfected in a 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid before adding them to collections. t BUR ARTICHOKES 11 ii f, HOW THEY ARE GROWN AND g PREPARED FOR THE i i TABLE. O Artichokes will become a prominent article of diet if the United States de- partment of agriculture has its way. The variety that is being boomed is the bur, or globe, artichoke, which is cultivated extensively in the countries about the Mediterranean, where it is native and where it thrives in the open air. It is grown to a less extent in gardens in central Europe and Eng- land, but, being sensitive to severe cold, requires winter protection in all these northern regions. It is a vegeta- ble having a very delicate flavor and is sure to become popular In this coun- try on the tables of those who appre- ciate good things to eat. The bur artichoke is not to be con- fused with the Jerusalem artichoke, Colors of Flowers. Professor Keegan believes that there are different stages in the development of the floral pigment. In the lower stages the natural color is red, what- eter the chromogen may be, while in the higher stages the natural color of anthocyan is blue, or, rather, at least with some chromogens, it becomes cap- able of forming blue compounds with alkalis and certain metallic acids. There also exist chromogens which, ' except under very exceptional condi- tionals, are incapable of producing a blue pigment. These, in all stages, naturally develop into a red, the bril- liancy of which unquestionably attests its real, original and proper character. —Spatula. Misjudged.

BUR ARTICHOKE. occasionally grown in this country for its tubers, which are used as forage for fattening hogs and other domestic animals. The bur artichoke is a perennial, with stems three to four feet high, and large pinnatifld leaves from two to three feet long. The leaves are white- fish green above and cottony on the lower surface, their bases extending in wings down the stems. The flower head, which is the portion eaten, is very large, something like that of the sunflower, but with bhte florets. In the cultivated plant the base of the flower head and the bases of the en- veloping scales are quite fleshy. The bur artichoke has been cultivat- ed in Louisiana for a great many years, especially by the creoles. The soil particularly adapted to this plant is the rich alluVtal Mississippi bottom land. It is considered useless to at- tempt to grow artichokes on any but a rich, well drained soil, and the use of large amounts of barnyard manure Oyes better results than the use of commercial fertilizers. The following are some of the many methods of preparing artichokes for the table: That most In vogue in the south is to boil in water, with a pinch of salt, until soft and serve with a dressing of salt, pepper, vinegar and oil. An Italian method is to stuff them by removing the flowers from their receptacles and filling this space with fresh boiled salmon, bread crumbs, chopped parsley and garlic, and to bake in olive oil. The fleshy base of the head makes a palatable substitute for mushrooms, and may be stewed or prepared in a variety of ways. A German method of cooking this artichoke is to cut the heads up into eight pieces, parboil, add bread crumbs and bouillon and bake. Industrious Jackdaws. Once jackdaws have taken a fancy to any particular situation they will per- form the most astonishing tasks in the way of collecting sticks wherewith to make a foundation for their nest A palr once tried to build in the bell tower of Eton college chapel, England, and in the space of 17 days formed a solid pillar of sticks no less than ten feet in height Another couple com- pletely blocked up a church tower In the space of three weeks by collecting a cartload of sticks, which they placed one upon another until the mass rose to 12 feet in height Wnen one woman has a secret to tell another, it always makes her mad to discover that the other knew it first.— Chicago News. a Byproduct of Corn Masquerading as Olive Oil. A rival of cottonseed oil, as a substi- tute for olive oil, is promised in corn oil, says the New York Evening Post. This is one of the byproducts of corn. On every kernel of this grain there is a little fleck of yellow, known by the experts as the "germ." Before corn may be shipped for export this germ must be removed, else rancidity is al- most certain to set in and the cargo is in danger of being destroyed. The process for the removal of this germ Is known as degerifing, and its prose- cution results in the production of an oleaginous substance, the only use for which hitherto was`as a substitute for linseed oil in thS manufacture of paints and for lubricating purposes. Efforts have been made from time to time to utilize it as foodstuff, but fail- ure to deprive it of its unpalatable dualities has rendered these futile. It is now announced in the west, how- ever, that a process has been devised which Is warranted to clarify, deodor- ize and make palatable this corn oil without material loss and at the in- consequential cost of 10 cents a gallon. There are now 5,000,000 gallons of crude corns oil turned out annually from the American mills, and as it has only been in connection with corn ship- ped for export that the degerming proc- ess has been used, the quantity may be increased indefinitely. Experimenting chemists are quoted by the Chicago papers as claiming that the corn oil is far more digestible than any of the oils now used for culinary purposes. Nevertheless it will probably masquer- ade on the market as olive oil. How to Prevent Consumption. In view of the increasing number of people afflicted with consumption who are flocking to Colorado, the board of health of the state has issued a set of rules showing how consumption may be prevented. Colorado appears to be getting alarmed over the number of tu- berculosis patients who are hastening to the breezy heights of that region to alleviate their affliction. The death rate from consumption in Colorado is markedly on the increase, so much so as to incite the health officials to take stringent measures. The promulgated rules are not to be taken as a crusade against consump- tives, with whom, they state, any per- son may associate as freely as if they are well if only the ordinary precau- tions are taken. Three sources of dan- ger are pointed out as being most harm- ful—expectoration, milk and meat. The rules with regard to expectoration are known to every one. Infected milk le made safe by boiling or heating to 170 degrees F. for 30 minutes. Tuber- culosed meat has to be left to the vagi, lance of the health officer. Among the rules for consumptives are some advising the patient to carry readily destroyable pocket spit cups, which may be burned when necessary. Fresh air, sunlight and weekly disin- fection of the sickroom are commend- ed. For those who are predisposed to the disease it Is said that consumption is almost never hereditary, but is ac- quired by careless associations with those afflicted with the disease. Liv- ing in the open air and "roughing it" as much as possible are advised. How E:)ectricity Kills. Although with the increasing use of electricity for power, lighting and chemical purposes the world sees in- creased precaution against accident, there are occasional exceptions to the general rule of safety, and the question how a powerful electric current acts on a human being is therefore a matter of vital interest. Dr. R. H. Cunningham, who has giv- en this subject a good deal of study within the last five years, recounts in The Electrical World experiments which he has made on some of the low- er animals. These tests lead him to believe that the first most immediate effect of a powerful shock is to inter- rupt the heart beat. It does so by im- pairing the automatic tendency of the muscles to contract rhythmically and in unison. An effort known to physiologists as "fibrillation" is produced—that is to say, the separate fibers of muscle that should act together fall to harmonize and thus neutralize one another. One result of this quasi paralysis is that the cells at the chief nervous centers, where sense and will reside, lose the nourishment which the blood supplies and on which they rely for life. Thus robbed they rapidly die. Furthermore, the electric current often checks respi- ration. If the volume is small and the potential (or electric pressure) light, this effect is only faintly observed. But stronger currents, especially if prolonged, interrupt breathing more positively and thus lead to asphyxia. Convulsions are frequently an attend- ant symptom. Science and /Esthetics. In an article in the Archly fur Sys- tematische Phflosophlet entitled "Bei- trage zur :Esthetic" Max Desofr says there is a complex and ramifying in- terconnection of science and art. The historical sciences of life and mind contain a large admixture of art. Much that is properly scientific enters into poetic construction, especially of the romantic order. Logical motives and processes play a prominent part in the origin of the plastic arts. Even at the present day thought of a scientific character plays a larger part In works of art than is desirable from the purely artistic point of view. Necessary Precaution. "What are those pegs all over your back yard ?" "I've ordered some trees, and I drove those pegs down to show my wife where I -didn't want them planted. "—Chicago Record. The Time Expended on an Average In the Daily Routine. An ordinary man would laugh away as preposterous the suggestion that he was likely to spend 20 years of his life in sleep. But that is because he does not conduct his life according to a schedule and really has no idea of how he does spend it. As a matter of fact, most men over 60 years old have al- ready spent more than 20 years in bed, which is only one of the surprises In store for the man who sets himself to work to discover bow those 24 hours that daily slip by so mysteriously are disposed of. By a painstaking study of averages a skilled statistician has recently arrived at the conclusion expressed in the fol -I lowing figures. They apply to the average American man of GO years of ' age. They do not accurately represent his life today, because his years of in- fancy and childhood are included in the computation. They will apply nei- ther to the man of leisure nor to the laboring man. But perhaps the aver- age man who both works and plays will recognize himself In them: Twenty years in sleep. Three years nine months In eating and wafting for the waiter. Seventeen years six months In work- ing. Seven years six mouths in pursuit of pleasure. Six years three months In walking and other exercise. Two years six months in making one's toilet. Two years six months doing abso- lutely nothing. The item of toilet may be subdivided into seven mouths for shaving, 11 months for washing, one year for dressing. Most men walk about three years and six months and spend two years and nine months in other exer- cises. The little table becomes more Intel- ligible if less comprehensive when it is reduced to a scale of days, in which case it stands as follows: Eight hours sleeping. One hour 30 minutes eating. Seven hours working. Three hours amusement. Two hours 30 minutes exercise. One hour toilet One hour doing nothing. The average man, if confronted with this, will doubtless claim that he does not spendeight hours in sleep. You may retort by telling him that it is doubtful whether be spends seven at work�.but_-in his youth he sleuLmore and worked less, and all this is taken into account In estimating averages. An elaboration In any direction of :5e statistics given above is interest- ing. For Instance, It bas been com- puted that. In a single year a man may speak 11,800,000 words and give 1,200 handshakes. The total energy dis- pensed in this fassfon alone during 50 years would be sufficient to raise 2.500 tons. Then, again, one may open and shut the eyes 95,000,000 times during a sin- gle year. The force thus expended yearly through 60 years would be, 1f accumulated, sufficient to lift a cable car filled with passengers a good many feet.—St. Louis Post -Dispatch. Textile Plants In Par Apropos to the interest displayed by fiber dealers in this country in Para- guayan textile plants, Consul John N. Ruffin, at Asuncion, has submitted a supplementary report on that subject to the state department. The most abundant fibrous plant in Paraguay, says the consul, is caraguata, which can be used for everything in the line of coarse textiles. He also mentions a very important textile, called "iba- ra," which can be used for very deli- cate fibrous pssodnctions and also for making paper, and sansaverde, which is remarkable for its enduring qualities when submerged in water. Paraguay- an pineapple leaves have an unusually excellent fiber, and thus the cultivation of that fruit is doubly advantageous. The price of a fiber separating ma- chine is estimated at about $400, and Consul Ruffin says that a separating plant could be established some dis- tance north of Asuncion. Australian Oysters. The journal of the Society of Arts says that Australian oysters are cheap and plentiful, being retailed in Sydney at from sixpence to a shilling per plate or bottle. The consumption is enor- mous and lasts throughout the year. The whole of the New South Wales coast is admirably adapted for oyster culture. Unlike to coasts of Great Britain and even Xmerica, where the temperature during the summer months is frequently sufficient to pre- vent the shedding of spat, and, gener- ally to limit its quantity, the spat in New South Wales is distributed In un- limited profusion. Mr. Coghlan, the New South Wales government statis- tician, says the establishment of pares like those which may be seen along the coasts of France and Bel- gium, where oyster culture is conduct- ed on scientific principles, would be re- munerative. It is said that the equip- ment for a Sydney harbor picnic would be considered incomplete without the means of detaching oysters from the rocks, on which they are found in myr- iads. raper Making Machines. The year of 1890 was of peculiar importance in the annals of paper making because ri was the centenary of the paper making machines. It was at the end of 1799 that a machine for making continuous paper was first set in operation at Didot's mill at Eason - nes, France. It was -the Invention of a workman named Robert, and the in- vention was actively taken up by the Messrs. Fourdrinier. The first patent in England was obtained by Joh1I Gamble, Didot's brother-in-law, and It was under that patent that the machine was brought into successful operation. D+O+O-0+0+0�0 0+0+0+0�0+0 MALARIAL GERIS. A BILLION PARASITES IN THE Q BODY IN SEVERE CASES 0 OF FEVER. 0 O+O+n+q+•O+C+•O O+0 «0+ 0 +O+O+O The L1ve.peol School of Tropical Dis- eases has Issued its first memoir under the title of "Instructions For the Pre- vention of Malarious Fever; For the Use of Residents In Malarious Places," says The Lancet. The causes of ma- larial fever are explained to be due to the presence of certain minute para- sites called htemameebidea in the corpuscles of the blood. In order to produce an attack of fever about 250.- 000,000 50:000,000 parasites must be present In the body, while in severe cases 1,000,- 000,000 or more may be present. In sufficient numbers they may be easily detected with the aid of a strong mi- croscope in a drop of blood drawn from the patient by pricking with a needle. The sudden rises of temperature which occur in this disease and which are ac- complished by shivering (ague) are due to the parasites scattering their spores in the blood fluid. These parasites grow up together and scatter their spores simultaneously, causing an im- mediate rise of temperature and shiv- ering. Atter a variable number of at- tacks of fever the parasites may large- ly decrease in number, leaving the pa- tient free from fever for a time. At any moment, however, the number of parasites may increase again, either spontaneously or through the patient's exposure to the rays of the sun or to chill or fatigue. Between the relapse the parasites continue to live in the pa- tient in comparatively small numbers. After they have become extinct no re- lapses will occur unless as the result of a fresh infection. Quinine kills the parasites. All parasites or their eggs pass in some way or other from one host to another—that is, from an Infect- ed individual, animal or plant to a healthy one. Suctorial insects give great facilities to parasites for passing from one host to another. Upon al- lowing a person infected with malaria parasites to be bitten by mosquitoes of the kind called anopheles dissection of the mosquito will disclose the parasites growing in the insect Rail Brakes. Instead of applying the brake shoe to the periphery of the car wheels for braking action Gurdon S. Fanning of Auburn, N. Y., proposes to apply it di- rectly to the rail. The brake shoe is Saved by a Collie Dog. Mr. Robert Macdougall, one of the meteorologists at Ben Nevis observa- tory, had a most exciting experience when climbing that mountain one day. Is only companion In the ascent was a collie dog, to whom he says he owes his life. When maneuvering on a snowslide about 1,000 feet above the half way station, Mr. Macdougall lost his footing, and, as the surface of the snow was glazed and hard, he was soon being whirled down a gully at an alarming pace, sometimes head fore- most, at others the reverse. It was at this juncture that.the dog's sagacity came in. As soon as Mr. Macdougall began to slide it caught his coat with Its teeth and greatly Im- peded the downward progress. The dog ultimately guided him to a place of safety, after the twain had slid down on the snow for nearly 1,000 feet. Strange to say, neither observer nor dog was much hurt, and the former, breaking open the door of the half way hut, lit a fire. Here he was found by a search party half asleep with the dog watching over him.—Westminster Gazette. Only One side.

BRAKE SHOE APPLIED TO BAIL. arranged so as to be parallel with and when in inoperative position is main- tained just above the tread of the rail. The novel features of the arrangement, which Is not entirely new, lie in the de- sign of the brake shoe. This consists of a long bar to the center of whose up- per surface a bolt is fastened, which is operated by a cam. The two ends of the • :e are also attached to vertical bolts, but these are mounted on springs at their upper ends. The forward part of the shoe is perforated, and connec- tion Is made with a sand box, the mech- anism being such that when the cam is operated the sand box valve is opened, and the sand falls on the rail directly under the shoe, thus insuring maxi- mum friction. Of course this system would save the car wheels, but at the expense of the rails. Doubtless the greatest difficulty would be experienc- ed in uneven rail joints, as, should the brakes be applied just as a very high rail was reached, considerable damage might be done to both brake rigging and rail. Cameo essary Noise. Dr. Sparker says: There are very few people who seem to realize that nine -tenths of the noise made about a house is unnecessary. It takes no lon- ger to handle things lightly than it does to fling them down helter skelter with such an unearthly din as one often hears In badly regulated house- holds. It takes a little more time to put on a pair of light shoes instead of the heavy and cumbersome out of door footwear that some people indulge in, but it pays a good interest on the ef- fort and time. Especially in a sickroom, or where there are people who are afflicted with those uncomfortable accompaniments called nerves. should this be made a study. In rooms where a grate or stove is used it Is of the utmost im- portance that the rasping, tearing sound of putting coal on the fire be in some way done away with. One means of doing this is to save all the paper bags that come to the house, fill them with coal, tie them up wltb a string and lay on the fire, which can be done without a particle of noise and without disturbing any one. Longebity In Mental Workers. Professor Manterola contributes to a Mexican scientific society a paper 011 longevity in connection with mental wooli The author divides professions into three groups, according to their influence on longevity. In mental work- ers be states that the general average of life is above 08 years, and the aver- age of men of science, lawyers and historians is more than 70. Teachers and Birds. A teacher who wears the spoils of dead birds in her bonnet is not likely to make much impression when she 'dilates on the wickedness of birds - nesting. Said a little fellow the other day: "1 know why my teacher don't want ns to rob the birds' nests and kill the little birds. She wants 'em to grow up, so she can wear 'em on Iter bonnet" That was good logic too. ^Popular Science. THE GAZETTE. IRVING TODD a SON. SATURDAY, MAY 5th, 1900.

The attempt to prevent the renomi- nation of Congressman Heatwole will end in a dismal failure. The Beacon recognizes the right of any citizen to aspire to reach this position, and has not an unkind word for any good re- publican who feels that he would like to receive the nomination. Bet the great majority of the repuldican voters in this district ask for the re- nomination of Mr. Heatwole, and it is not wise at this time to think of making a change,- Mr. Heatwole can carry the district as he has done before. The opposition will make a desperate effort to gain a majority in the next Congress. The party must run no rlsks.-Cannon Falls Beason. Two young men by the naitie of Kownleck, of Beaver Dam, Wis., are following a peculiar industry at Lake Constance.

Did you ever pass by a place a remark or hear strangers speak ab the beauties of a certain vicini The traveling public particularly a all persons in general when brou into such a position prove the tr that there are few who do not app ciate the beauties of nature in th surroundings. To a great extent measure the prosperity and height ty by the homes of its peop Although means may do mu towards beautifying a place, it is la of something else that leaves it b ren and uninviting. It is a gene failing atnong the majority of peo to fall into a -rut and not make a great effort to get out, or even se ously think that there are better higher things to strive for. In ru districts, next after obtaining an e istence, the home receives the att tion, and following closely or direc with this comes the above proble Experience is the best teacher, b we can learn much of value, if choose, by observation and from th of others. After planting the win break or grove, as we near the inn side come the opportunities for mo judgment in arrangement and tas and then in the decorating Of inter' grounds. The endeavor on this ha is to break up that harsh or set a pearanee by using smaller and mo graceful species. For as the gro grows taller they hide the bare trun of the tree, make it more impenetr ble, and also liven up the landsca Such trees and shrubs as white birc golden willow, wild plum, buffa berry, highbush cranberry, cilia cherry, etc., will all work in to adva tage here. They should be plant quite thickly and some one of t varieties predominating, not using t many different varieties in a place Closer to the buildings we ean u those flowering shrubs such as lilac balls, and many other such hard species. Clumps should be made these, also using the taller growin ones in the centre where height is n objectionable. Massed in this ma ner first one and then another wi burst into bloom throughout the se on. They will show off to greate dvantage and are also more easil ared for. Irregular planting abou he- grounds, leaving a broad ope awn where possible, will add muc o the beautifying of the place. ardy vine may also be used here an here to cover an unsightly trunk o tree or other object. It may al m trained to cover a portion of th ouse or porch with its gracefu eliage.

Tastes will differ much in the ar angement and extent to which som arieties are used, but on the who! here must be a basis to work on. I kes much thoughtful planning o he part of the planter to obtain d ired results, and it is far better to o slow but sure. Thereby muc reater success is likely to atten our efforts and you will always hav ceasion to look upon the work ac omplished as "a thing of beauty an joy forever." G. W. STRAND, Secretary State Forestry Association The Result of Advertising. The Griffin-Pitzen Company wil ose out iti business in the old Segel Rum store this week, and remove hat little remains of the stock to re Hastings stores of the firm. The usiuess at this point as the result o xtensive advertising and remarkable riceS, and the many here who admire negotic business methods as set rth by the Griffln-Pitzen Company ould be glad to see them return for permanent businees location. In a nversation with Mr. Pitzen he ex - reseed the opinion that this is a ood business point, 'capable of doing ueh greater business than it at pres- t enjoys. One hindrance, he inks, is the laxity of the business ma in the matter of advertising. all the larger mercantile houses ould go after the trade in live ad- rtisements every week, said he, the ple would be drawn in from a de range (it territory, and goods uld be sold at fair prices and in uch larger quantities.

The train which carried inmates from the Rochester asylum to Hast- ings yesterday stopped in this city but a few minutes. A reporter was on hand, however, and poking his head in at a window singled out one of the lunatics for an interview. "Yes," said he in response to a question by the reporter, "we are go- ing to Hastings to build up that town. They need us up there. Some of us would have preferred to go to Anoka, which is as much of a suburb of Min- neapolis as Hastings is of St. Paul, but they don't really need us so much up there because Old Pease furnishes brains for that town, and then the patients from Fergus Falls and St. Peter will help out Anoka. "Good thing it was for those two towns," continued the patient as he wound up an imaginary Waterbury watch spring in his shoe heel so that he would not stop running, "good thing it was that there were so many lunatics in Minnesota, and best of all that they were not all out of the leg- islature. Otherwise what would those towns have amounted to? Now they give promise of having a few citizens left after all the others have moved to the cities. . wires, I know Senator Albert Schal- ler, the silyer tongued advocate of big asylums. I met him in England in 1218 in he was playing cinch with the Print* of Wales while going on the train from the Isle of Wight to are going to elect Albert an honorary member of our Ku Klux, and confer on him the big feather of the Red Eagle. He can have our votes for anything, Albert can. "Staples? C. F. Staples? Guess yes. Can have anything we've got to give. I drafted the amendments whieh made the Anoka -Hastings com- bine acceptable to GOY. Lind, and he had my co-operation at all times. See that hole in the top of my head with the patent smoke consumer of my own invention? That hole broke through when I shouted for Staples the first time he was elected. I am a Dakota County man and one of the original discoverers of Staples. But say, can you tell me, Mr. Reporter, the difference between the bark of a dog and the bark of a tree? I'd like to run a newspaper. Newspaper men are the only lunatics permitted to run at large." But the train started, and a con- versation which promised to be inter- esting and edifying was abruptly brought to a close. -Red Wing Re- ptsbtican, 27th. School Board Proceedings.

Owing to the great demand for binding twine by our farmer friends, it has been decided by Warden Reeve that the output of twine at the prison shall be increased about five hundred thousand pounds, which will in many instaaces fill a long felt want for the farmers. The warden informs us that this supply can be furnished by run- ning an hour or two extra at night, which will not be a severe tat upon the laborers. There were quite a large number of farmers in our coun- ty, as well as throughout the state, who were unable to secure twine, ow- ing to the large number of orders ahead. Many of the unfortunates can now be supplied by placing their orders with Warden Reeve at once. - Stillwater Gazette, 30th. Me Fooled The Ourosaa.

For three months she coughed incessant- ly, and could not sleep.

We shall find the things sticking in our clothes for months." "Yes; they're small but insidious. You have no idea of the mischief one of these serahs of paper can do." The speakers were two fresh colored, good looking Englishmen, wearing light overcoats and dress clothes and drinking their after dinner coffee out- side a cafe at Cannes. It was 9:30 on an evening in the be- ginning of February. Two days earlier they had left their native London ankle deep in slush and dirty snow and veil- ed 1n sulphurous fog. dere in favored Cannes they sat beneath a sapphire sky, flecked with diamond stars, and watched the carnival maskers in their gay costumes of stuff or satin dancing upon the asphalt which surrounded the band kiosk and even pirouetting gayly upon the open road. All around u d them were life and colo*', laughter and movement, the sound of many languages intermingled in gay banter, the democratic Jostling of Pie - rots and Pierettes in satin with white capped Market women, townsfolk in cheap and gaudy dominos and tweed clad tourists armed with guidebooks wad kodaks. To Norton, the younger of the two men, the scene had the charm of en- tire novelty. At the battle of confetti earlier in the day he had exhausted himself by two hours and a half of confetti throwing under a blazing sun, and now, after an excellent dinner, he was laughingly complaining of the con- fetti which passersby every now and then cast in the friers of the two friends over their coffee. Fleming, the elder of the two and the one who had complained of the mischief making capabilities of the lit- tle paper missiles, was rich and inde- pendent and spent his time in perpetual travel. Carnivals were nothing new to him, and as.a rule he avoided them, but this spring the fancy had taken him to revisit Cannes in the company of his relative, Norton, and now, as he sat watching the dancers under the palm trees in the starlight, the spirit proved him to be confidential. IIe lit a cigarette and blew slowly up into the night air. A curious wist- fulness passed into his gray eyes and softened the lines of his mouth under the closely trimmed golden brown mus- tache. "It's odd," he began dreamily, "but ten years ago, almost in this identical spot, I had the happiness of my life ruined by one of these same mis- chievous confetti!" His companion's round, blue eyes grew rounder still in amazement, "By Jove! Are you serious?" he ex- claimed. "It was a night like this," went on the other, "only it seems to me that the stars were brighter, the music was jollier, the fun more spontaneous. Mind, I only say 'seems.' Probably the falling off is in me, not in the music and the stars and the .fun. Iamfive and thirty now. I was five and twenty then. There was a girl on my arm— each a girl she seemed to me! A little soft, round face, like a peach, lips made for kisses and laughter and a figure as lithe and light as a willow brangh. I know my similes are old, but I can't find words to to11 you what she was like to me. You see, I was In love with her, and she was my wife." "Your wife!" Norton repeated la as- tonishment. "Why, I never knew you had been married, though I remember I did hear there was some romance or other"— "Oh, there wasn't much romance about it," Fleming said bitterly, lower- ing his voice as a laughing party of three maskers took possession of the seats at a neighboring table. "The w sole thing only lasted six weeks." "Your wife is dead, then? Old man, I am SO sorry"— "There is no need to be sorry, and she isn't dead. She simply divorced me on the ground of incompatibility of temper, or heaven knows what, accord- ing to the laws of the state to which she belongs." "And where is she now?" "Oh, she has consoled herself with a German baron. Three years ago, be- ing dead tired of knocking about tie world, I was actually fool enough o decide to go over to America and per- suade Mamie—that was her name—to marry me all over again. You must }mop she was an heiress , - the only child of a mother who spelled and idolized her. I met her on a short vis- it to the States and fell in love with her and married fiend brought her over to honeymoon in Europe. London was too cold, and we came to Cannes for the carnival. One night we left her mother at the hotel and came out to see the fun!" -A lady in a blue domino who formed one of the group of three at the neigh- boring table turned in her seat and fixed the gaze of two bright dark eyes, shining through a black velvet mas upon Jack Fleming's face. "Then your wife's mother was w you !" "That was the beginning of the in chief. She insisted upon following to Europe In a week. As I told y we left her at the hotel, and here, der the palms, I felt my shoul touched and heard my name called o of the crowd: 'Jack! Jack Flemi Don't you recognize me?' It was Et Narborough, an old sweetheart mine. We were engaged once, but was such a flirt she drove me h mad, and I broke It off. She was in mask and domino, but I knew h voice -in a moment. "I felt Mamie's grasp tighten on 1 arm and saw her face change. I do know whether Ethel knew I was m ried. The whole thing had been ve shdden, and I hope, for her sake, s didn't. But, just to plague me, s hung on to my arm and kept on wh poring about old times, and finall after I had broken away, declaring did not know her, she slipped a scr of paper into my pocket and ran acv laughing. Mamie seized' it and nev spoke a word until we got to the hot Then in the presence of her mother s opened it. It was nothing in the wor but a pink confetti disk, with the Warn 'Ethel' written across it, but it c short my happiness most effectively. "The two women worked themselv up into a scene. My explanations we hardly listened to: Mamie was an 1 pulsiv e, jealous child of 18, and h mother had always been against th marriage. The end of it was that the left Cannes the next morning and r turned to the States without me. had put it to Mamie that she mu choose between her mother and m and she chose her mother. "You know the rest. Three yea ago, hearing that her mother was dea I was starting iu search of Mami when I read by chance in an America paper that the daughter of Comm dore Griersou (that was the name o Mamie's father) had just married Ba on Ludwig von RIegelthurm. Som how I had always been fool enough t hope we might come together again which shows, I suppose, that a ma doesn't get wiser as he gets older." "It must be awfully painful for you, Norton said sympathetically. "Wer you very fond of her?" "She is the only woman I 1 o ever real Y cared a straw about or ever shall care. He rose as he spoke, and the tw men strolled away. The little lady I the blue domino at the adjoining tab* stared intently after them. Then sh whispered something to her compan ions, from one of whom she borltowe a pencil. "Those people who were at the nex table are following us," Norton pres ently observed to his companipn. "They're going to pelt us with con- fetti, no doubt," Fleming returned in- differently. As he spoke he distinctly felt a hand thrust into the pocket of his overcoat. It was a very little hand, as he found when he seized it, and it was soft and feminine. Its owner wore a blue domino and wriggled her fingers clear from his, leaving in his pocket a twist• ed scrap of paper. The blood rushed to Fleming's face. The situation of ten years ago was re- peating itself. Crossing to a brightly lighted shop window, he unfolded the paper and disclosed a pink paper disk, across which was written in pencil the name "Mamie." "By Jove, if it should have been my wife's hand that I caught in mine!" That was his first thought, but the neat moment he recalled the bitter fact that Mamie was his wife no longer, but the Baroness R!egelthurm. Nevertheless he looked round for the blue domino and caught sight of her entering an open carriage with her two companions. Fleming chartered an- other and followed the party to the doors of the Grand hotel, the hall of which he entered a few seconds after them. "Are the Baron and Baroness Riegel- thurm staying here?" he inquired of an attendant. "I think they expect you, sir. One of the ladies asked me whether you wanted to see the Baroness Riegel- thurm or . her stepsister, Mrs. John Fleming." Half an hour later the little blue domino, without her mask and with tears in her pretty dark eyes, sat hand in hand with Jack Fleming in her sis- ter's drawing room. "You horrid, proud old thing!" she was saying. "Why didn't you come and claim me years ago? Of course, I always expected you to. And I've been so lonely and miserable some- times! When I heard you tell all that to the man you were with tonight, It was all I could do not to jump for joy and kiss you." '"There is nothing to prevent you from kissing me now," Jack Fleming said. And Mamie agreed with him.—Main- ly About People. k, 8th is - u8 ou, un- der ut ng! hel of she alt a er ny n't ar- ry he he is - y, I ap ay er el. he Id e ut es re m- er e y e- st e, Ps d, e, n O- f r- e - 0 n e y O n e e d Passed It Along.

It is true that in Ireland, with the spread of general knowledge and im- proved medical aid, "cures" and super- stitions are on the wane, but still "the misthress' bottle" is much preferred to the doctor's, and the advice of a "lucky woman" is of much higher val- ue thanthat of an M. D. Apart front the medical knowledge requited, it is no light natter to undertake to pre- scribe for one's neighbors. as the fol- lowing will show: "If it's plazin to y'r honor, I'm come to ax for a bottle," said an old woman. "I was tuk that bad last night I thought the life 'u'd lave me." After due inquiry into her symptoms she was given a packet of arrowroot, with minute directions how to prepare it. As she scarcely seemed to take them in, a happy thought struck the lady. "You know how to make starch, don't you?" she asked. "Yes," said the old woman. "Then make it just like that," saki her friend, "and add a little sugar to !t." The old woman departed, to return next day with the information that she was like to die after atin what Miss Norah gave her, and, with nil due respect to her, she couldn't get it all down; It wint so ag'inst ber. She was requested to bring what re- mained for inspection, which revealed that the directions as to starch had been literally carried out. She had put blue in it.—Cornhill Magazine. The Forest of Fontainebleau. "We spent the night in Barbizon, paid a goodly bill and set off in the company of our English friends for the town of Fontainebleau, lying at the center of 50 square miles of forest," writes a girl from Paris to The Ladies' Home Journal. "It is never wild, never mysterious, this forest that thousands of artists have loved to paint, but It is calm and grand and never tedious. For eight hours we wandered over plains covered with towering oaks. among rocky gorges, out of which slen- der, graceful beeches rise, and through. miles of fragrant, giant pines. And everywhere are feathery ferns and purple heather. "There Is not the slightest chance of losing one's Way. Every square inch of the forest has been mapped out, and at the intersection of everytwo ave• nues a red hand points to the town, and a blue hand Indicates the direc- tion of one of the 'sights.' And Fon - tainebleu? We saw only the palace, a bewildering maze of magnificent rooms. Everywhere there was rich- ness, everywhere wonderful frescoes. wonderful stairways, wonderful tapes- try, wonderful inlaid furniture. The grandeur is oppressive, and we were glad to get out into the park. to wan- der about in the different courts." A "Practical" Joke. An Irishman took a contract to dig a public well. When he had dug about 25 feet (Iowa, he came one morning \and found it caved in—filled nearly to the top. Pat looked cautiously round and saw that no one was uear, then toEfir-off his hat tad coat and hung them on the windlass, crawled into some bushes and waited events. In a short time the citizens discovered that the well had caved in, and, seeing Pat's hat and coat on the windlass, they supposed he was at the bottom of the excavation. Only a few hours of brisk digging cleared the loose earth from the well. Just as the eager citizens had reached the bottom and were wondering where the body was Pat came walking out of the bushes and good naturedly thanked them for relieving him of a sorry job. Some of the tired diggers were dis- gusted, but the joke was too goal to allow of anythiug more than a hearty laugh, which soon followed.—London Answers. The Helpful Man. The man who loses his head was in church the other day, and a girl near him had fainted. The church was very close, and he realized that the best thing to do was to take her out, and as he was a helpful man, always going to the assistance of those in need, be pro- posed to carry her himself. But in these days women do not faint often enough to keep men in practice carry- ing them out of churches or theaters, and this man was very much excited. The girl had fainted just as a hymn was being sung, and the man bad a hymn book in his hand, which if It re- mained there would make him less able to render his deed of mercy, so the first thing to do, he realized, was to get rid of the hymn book. "Won't some one take my hymn book?" he cried excitedly. "Some one take this hymn book!" he called again with vehemence. But no one volun- teered, and it was not until another man bad taken the girl out that he realized that he might have dropped that hymn book on the seat himself.— New York Times. Cliff Dwellers' Clever Symbols. The symbols -of the old cliff dwellers, used to represent the things of nature. were often very clever. They represented the mountains by terraces, the sky by arches, the winds by coils and spiral lines, clouds by stepped figures, the sun by a disk, the moon by a crescent, the lightning by the serpent, the rain by perpendieular lines, the rainbow by different colors, the water by certain animals, the air by birds, the earth by horizontal lines, the four points of the compass by crosses, and the gods which preside over the four quarters of the sky by fetiches In the shape of animals. The Most Ungrammatical. A literary man who has just returned from the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania says that he found a great quantity of "local color" there. He also says he beard the most un- grammatical sentence while there that ever came under his notice. He was strolling through a mining village in Schuylkill county when he heard a wo- man calling, and at some distance off saw several children who were playing in the road. When he reached them, he said kindly: "Your mother is calling you. chil- dren." The largest child, a girl of about 10 years, turned to him and said: "Her ain't a-callin we; us don't be- long to sbe."—New York Timer([. When Not to Keep Books. She decided that the only way to run a house economically was to keep a set of books, so she made all neces- sary purchases, including a bottle of red ink, and started in. It was a month later when her hus- band asked her how she was getting along. "Splendidly," she replied. "The system is a success, then?" "Yes, indeed. Why, I'm $60 ahead already!" "Sixty dollars!" he exclaimed. "Heav- ens! You'll be rich before long. Have you started a bank account?" "No -o, not yet" "What have you done with the mon- ey?" "Oh, I haven't got the money, you know! That's only what the books show. But just think of being $60 ahead!" "Um, yes! But I don't exactly see"— "And all ii one month too!" "Of course. But the money? What" has become of that?' "I don't exactly know," she said doubtfully. "I've been thinking of that, and I think we must have been robbed. What do you think we had better do about itr He puffed his pipe in solemn silence for a moment and then suggested: "We might stop keeping books. That's easier than complaining to the police."—Atlanta Constitution. The Leetuti?er's Blunder. One of the institutions of New York that are praised by all the public with- out reserve Is the course of free lec- tures in the public schools. These lec- tures are given before splendid audi- ences and, as a rule, by persons of veracity and intelligence. Occasion- ally, however, in order to get a lecture on a rare subject great risks are run. Recently a lecture was given by a person who had been on an excursion to the North cape. Among other won- derful things he saw there was the eclipse of the sun. He gasped for breath as he told of the weirdly grand sight He told of the streamers of fire that blazed from the obscured orb to all quarters of the heavens. But his frenzy carried him too far for a public school audience, for he declared that among the stars made visible in the midst of day he saw the planets cir- cling in their courses. He even called the planets that he saw by name, but he made a fatal mistake. He said he saw Neptune. This statement called for a round of sarcastic applause that he mistoole for commendation, for be smiled In a hap- py way as it echoed through the halls. Evidently he did not know that Nep- tune is invisible except with the most powerful teleseope.—New York Mail and Express` Saved His honor. "Vat ees eet, Jean?"

A boy having been taken to task for violation of school rules, the principal, a woman, told him to ask his father to call at the schooL Next day the boy appeared with a rather seedy looking man whom he introduced as his fa- ther. The head of the school and vis- itor had a talk, and the latter prom- ised to do all in his power to make the boy see the error of his ways. Some days later—the boy was over- heard saying to some of his compan- ions: "I played a good joke on Miss Blank. I introduced a bum as me fa- ther, and she never caught on." "Wasn't that man your father?" ask- ed one of the listeners. "Nope," was the answer. "IIe was me friend."—Brooklyn Eagle. Family Resemblance. A young gentleman took bis little sister with him while calling the other evening at a house where he is a regu- lar visitor.

"Yes; so like her brother," responded the young lady unthinkingly.—Buffalo Courier.. Weloome Change.

Last week we stated that Mrs. Bastian was in a very precarious con- dition, and yet we did not think that before the week closed she would be dead. Mrs. Bastian suffered much the last few days of life until death relieved her Saturday night, about half past ten. The suddenness of the event has cast a gloom over the com- munity, and has caused many to seri- ously think of the inevitable that awaits all. Mrs. Bastian had been in our city hardly two years, but in that time she was well known and had made many friends, in fact all who knew her were friends. She had a happy faculty of making and retain- ing friends. -The affair is -very sad, indeed, because within a very few days after Mr. Bastian had ceased his labors with the Mayville Mercan- tile Co. a son was born, but did not live, and in less than a week after, the birth Mrs. Bastian died. It seem- ed as though the fates had combined to shower their heartless destruction on Mr. Bastian's head. He philo- sophically endured the trying ordeal through which he passed with stoic- ism. Medical science and skill and the untiring labors of willing hands could not save the loved one. A short funeral service was conducted at the house by the Rev. • Zellai s on Monday evening. Floral offerings were contributed as follows: A flor- al piece, Rest, by friends, two dozen roses by Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Grandin and Miss Wertman, two dozen roses by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ely, two dozen roses by R. B. Kenney, and three dozen roses by Dacotah Lodge No. 55, A. F. aid A. M. In recognition of a brother's Sorrow the members of Dacotah Lodge No. 55, A. F. and A. M., attended in a body, to escort the remains to the depot on Monday even- ing, from which it was shipped to Hastings, Minn., for burial, accompa- nied by Mr. Bastian and 11 rs. Clark, a sister of Mrs. Bastian. The funeral took place from St. Luke's Church Tuesday afternoon and was quite largely attended. The Rev. P. H. Linley officiated and the interment was in Lakeside. Mrs. Bastian was born at Hastings, Minn., Dec. 25th, 1860, and was raised there and it was there where she married Mr. Bastian a few years ago. She identified her- self with the Episcopal Church at Hastings in early life and always liv- ed a consistent member. The sym- pathy of the whole community is ex- tended to Mr. Bastian in his hours of affliction and trial. RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE. WHEREAS, God in his infinite wisdom has removed from this earth to the celestial realm the beloved wife of our esteemed Bro. Richard J. Bastian, therefore be it Resolved, That the members of Decorah Lodge No. •55, A. F. and A. M., of May- ville, N. D.. hereby extend to him our sympathy and condolence in this, his great affliction. We commend to him in this hour of bereavement communion with him who doeth all things well. - Mayville (N. D.) Farmer. OLD INDIAN SPORTS. OUR RED MEN OF EARLY DAYS WERE GREAT ATHLETES. A>aong Their Favorite Pastimes Were Bowling, Rnnning, Wres- tling, Sham Fights and Football. and They Bet the Limit on Their Eames. The American Indians were great bowlers. Alleys of greater length than any in use today were built in the open fields. Balls hewn out of stone were rolled by genuine Indian muscle. In fact, there is scarcely a popular kind of game played in this country today but that its counterpart can be found in the age of the red man. They were gamblers, too, even to forfeiting the clothes upon thair backs, their wives or their liberty. Strange to say, the average school history has abound- ed in a description of the Indian in nearly every point except in the de- tails of the games he played. Relics of the Indian bowling alley are rare except in a few sections of the country, thus showing that the game was not a universal one, and of all the games which the Indian played bowl- ing is undoubtedly the most remote. The Western Reserve of Ohio was one of the centers for the Indian bowlers. In several parts of Ashtabula county some of the older residents have these relics preserved, which they have pick- ed up themselves in their early farm- ing, usually in the open field. The balls used, instead of being large wooden ones, like those in use today, were made of light colored stoiie and ranged In slze from an or- dinary league ball down to the com- mon small toy rubber ball. The al- leys 'were built of wood, carved out to make a reasonably smooth surface. The game was more to see bow far one could roll rather than accuracy in striking the tenpins at the opposite end of the alley. The alleys were built so long tbat, It is alleged, it was a hard matter to roll one of these stone balls so that it , would reach the end. The Indians, too, kept a score, and, like in all other games, they gambled. The Indians were Inveterate ball players and excellent "rooters." Their game lasted usually from 9 o'clock In the morning till sundown. It was par ticipated in by from 600 to 1.000 young men, divided into two sides, and the games were witnessed by from 3,000, te 5;000 men, won:en and ebi1dren, who formed an immense ring around the entire field. The enthusiastic In dian yells were not altogether unlike the noises of the modern hal; park. There was scarcely au intermission of five minutes during the entire day. The game, however, resembled our football rather than baseball. When the..ball was in the air, there were kicks„and struggles, maimed limbs and bruised bodies. A prescribed line di vided the "rooters" of the two sides. and across this line the gambling took place. Old men were selected as um pares. Women on both sides brought the crude household goods of the fam- ily to the ball park to be staked on the game. Stakeholders guarded the goods. The scene resembled two distinct camps, although there was not neces- sarily more than one tribe engaged in the game. There was a feature of the India. game which will be new to the ball players of the present day. Several medicine men among the Choctaws sat an night on the, spot where the ball was to be started next day and smoked to the Great Spirit who was to witness the game. The night before there also occurred what was known as the "ball play dance." Prior to the game each Indian was provided with two instruments which resembled our tennis rackets of today. The judges threw the ball in the air, and immediately hundreds of Indians started after it. One finally 'succeeded in catching it between the large ends of the two "tennis rackets" and threw it "home," or between two poles, the limit of one side or the other. This would count one point toward the game, and the side getting 1G0 poln first won. Often in the terrible�e atrtt g gle for the ball difficulties would arise between two slightly injured contest- ants, and the game would stop until they settled the dispute. The women also played ball. When the men were tired, they would announce a game be- tween the women, and prizes would be awarded to the winning wives. Among the popular amusements dear to the lighter side of the American, a parallel for which has been found among the Indians, are the following: Bowling, ball playing, horse racing, foot racing, dancing, wrestling, check- ers, dominos, quoits, sham fights. Many things which some of us today may believe are contemporaneous only with the age in which we live by re- search may be found to have existed In the everyday life of the American Indian. Polygamy was practiced by certain tribes long before Joseph Smith founded the Mormon belief. Va- por baths were enjoyed by the Indian before the white man came to disturb his hunting ground. --Chicago Chron- icle. commercial CONE. "Did you enjoy your wedding trip. Mabel?" "Ob, such fun!

To Obey Them All, Be Says, Means to Lose Time and Win a Discharge. To Break Them and Have an Acci- dent Means a Discharge Also. It IS an interesting position that one finds when studying the relations that connect the railroad employee with the road itself with regard to the rules and regulations. It has a ring of "heads I win, and tails you lose" in favor of the road when it conies to de- ciding where the responsibility lies when an accident occurs. An old rail- road emplwee, a member of a train crew, was conversing with the writer recently, and in going over It the situa- tion might be better and more readily understood if . he were to be rather closely quoted from his standpoint and in his language. "On our line," he said, "we have many a good mile that composes the whole road, but I will confine my knowledge and experience of working under rules and regulations as stand- ing between the general manager's office and the actual operation of trains. To follow every rule and regu- lation to the letter would make travel far safer than lying in bed, but It would be so slow and tedious to the passenger that the time -made in the old days of stage lines would appear a 'flier's' time of these days. "To make from even 30 miles per hour up to the 80 reached these days and to live up to everything pertain- ing to slow ups, grade crossings, sav- ing of coal, oil and material, slow stops and starts, reduced speed over switches and turnouts and a hundred and one things to be remembered, would be the worst kind of folly if making time was a consideration. "Take my run, 150 miles, which,ls on the card to be made in 4 hours and 52 minutes, not such a swift gait, to be sure, although in winter, with snow, ice and bad weather, it is some little kind of a job to get around on time. To live up to every ironclad rule, those In the book, en the card and various specials issued every day, you could not pull that run through in ten hours, and you might count yourself lucky if you went through upon that time. "A trainhand has the choice of ei- ther making his time, for, if he is fre- quently late, he is either set back, sus- pended, lined or dismissed, or living up to every rule, and, if not found doing so in case of accident, being dismissed. Of course where no accidents occur the rules can be tampered with and the management be blessed with ban- daged eyes, but let a mishap occur, and in order to protect themselves they jog out the thousand or -two rules, and if you are found guilty you receive an early dismissaL So the trainhand takes his desperate chances by playing at luck, by using discretion In obeying his rule, as he keeps his po- sition longer than he would through strictly carrying out every one and eventually being dismissed when the first salary day arrives. "In one book of rules upon a large road appear nearly 500 regulations for the employee to familiarize himself with, or, as one of the general rules says: 'The bead of each department must be conversant with the rules, supply copies of them to his subordi- nates, see that they are understood, en- force obedience to them. No one will be excusett for the violation of any of them, even though not included In those applicable to his department. Ig- norance is no excuse for neglect of duty.' "Then follows a most remarkable clause or rule which reads, 'Every em- ployee while on duty connected with the trains on any division of the road is under the authority and must con- form to the orders of the iuperintend- ent of that division.' Now, 1f the em- ployee has a certain order from the su- perintendent that conflicts with those -of the book, the road has him double headed. "To obey the superintendent and dis- obek the rule means discharge, as it distinctly states that `no one will be ex- cused foe the violation of any of them,' while on the other hand 'he must con- form to the orders of the superintend- ent,' so he is apt to become discharged either way, but the road stands un - blamed in either case. Besides these 500 regulations there are numbers of rules, about 20 forms of train orders, 4 hand and lamp signals, 17 manner of using signals according to the train rules, besides nearly 100 special rules on time card. "Then comes the changing occasion- ally of a rule or from day to day the time of some new rule. With this the employee must learn by heart the scheduled time of some 25 regular tralns, not to mention as many spe- cials. Is it a wonder not more acci- dents occur when one employee may be on duty 18 or 20 continuous hours and happens to forget get j ust one of these things to be remembered?" -Portland (Me.) Argus. Transplanting Nerves. The transplanting of skin bas been frequently reported lately, but the grafting of nerves seems a step further in surgical progress. A man who suf- fered severe injury to the wrist from a circular saw lost sensibility in the hand. Five months after about an Inch and a half of the sciatic nerve of a young bloodhound was attached to the end of the median nerve and a sim- ilar operation performed upon the ul- nar nerve. In three months sensibili- ty was almost complete throughout the hand. In the American Journal of Medical Science 20 cases of nerve transplanting are reported. NAVAJO BLANKETS. THEIR EFFECTIVENESS IN ARTISTIC HOUSE DECORATION. Simply Woven and Dyed With Color■ Extracted From Flowers and Boots. Points Worth Remembering When Buying a Blanket. While art lovers have been searching Asia and Europe for rugs and hangings of East Indian manufacture they have remembered only within the last few years that out on the western plains of North America the American Indian OLD RUG WITH NAVAJO CROSSES. has long been weaving blankets which can be used moat effectively in house decoration. The art of blanket weav- ing was probably first practiced by the Pueblos, and with them the work was performed by the men. These were not stern warriors, roving the plains in search of scalp or buffalo, but a do- mestically inclined race, which spun and baked in truly feminine fashion. From them it is quite certain that the Navajo first got his ideas. In this tribe the women do the blanket mak- ing. Their fingers are more nimble in the weaving and their brains more cunning in the originating of designs. For whatever cause it may be, the Navajo has so far excelled his teach- ers in the quality of his work and in the beauty of hie patterns that his name has become the synonym for the Indian blanket. The looms on which the blankets are woven are very simple in structure. In the process of weaving three stout cords are left at the edges of the blan- kets. In the best these are woven in and form a strong border, but in those that are coarser and more carelessly made these cords are removed, and the ends of the warp are fastened in pairs to form a fr'nge. When the Indian prepares his own dyes, he has white, gray, black, yel- low, red and possibly blue with which to work, The two first mentioned are the natural colors of the wool. He makes his best black dye by throwing a mixture of roasted ocher or ferrugi- nous earth, combined with the gum of the pinon pine, into a decoction of so mac. The tannic acid of the sumae combines with the sesqufoxide of the iron in the clay to produce a blue black that is enriched by the carbon of the burnt . gum. He prepares yellow in two ways. For bright lemon yellow he boils a yellow flower, Bigelovia graven lens, till he obtains the desired shade. To this he adds alum as a mordant. A dull old gold is made from the root of a plant seemingly known only to the Indian. This root is crushed into a paste, heated slightly and rubbed into the wool. For red he uses the ravel - Ings of the Bayeta cloth, which is a bright scarlet fabric with a long nap. When the Indian buys his dyes from a trader, he is able to obtain a greater variety of effect than when he relies l _ N1/4 ?adeleNist„ _JOIN A GOOD SMALL RUG. upon his own efforts for his colors. Of course the trader will insist that blan- kets colored with his dyes are better than those colored from the juices of plants. But the eye of the artist quick- ly selects the old blanket, with its deep tints melting from one into the other where the color comes straight from the heart of a flower that has been nodding in the prairie breeze or from a root that has absorbed its richness from the prairie loam, in preference to the new blanket, whose mineral color- ing is apt to give a hard effect and car- ry the stamp of a machine made arti- cle.-HouseBeautiful. What Be Thought of It. The following retort 1s regarded of Mr. Maurice Barrymore: Once at the Hoffman House, New York, an Eng- lish stranger interfered with the con- versation of a knot of friends by a long tirade against all things American. He finished by an attack on our spelling. "Why, you can't even spell correctly In this confounded country! Honour, ;in labour, 1 -a -b -o -r. What do Lyon think of that, Barry?" l"Well," replied Barrymore slowly and distinctly, "as far I should judge, Iwbere honor and labor are concerned II would never enter into the ques- Vonl"- The Story of Nikko Bridge. Long ago a great hearted kid;; cams to Nikko river and looked across at the trees, up stream at the torrent and the hills whence it came and down stream at the softer outlines of the crops and spurs of wooded mountains. "It needs only a dash of color in the foreground to bring this all together," said he, and he put a little child in a blue and white dressing gown under the awful trees to judge the effect. Emboldened by his tenderness, an aged beggar ventured to ask for alms. Now, It was the ancient privilege of the great to try the temper of their blades upon beggars and such cattle. Me- chanically the king swept off the old man's head, for he did not wish to be disturbed. The blood spurted across the granite slabs of the river ford in a sheet of purest vermilion. The Tang smiled. Chance had solved the problem for him. 'Build a bridge here," he said to the court carpenter, "of just such a color as that stuff on the stones. Build also a bridge of gray stone close by, for I would not forget the wants of my people." So he gave the little child across the stream 1,000 pieces of gold and went his way. He had composed a landscape. As for the blood, they wiped it up and said no more about it, and that is the story of Nikko bridge. You will not find It in the guidebooks. -Kipling's "From Sea to Sea." Sign Painting an Art. To become a strictly first class sign painter it Is absolutely essential to possess a natural ability for free hand drawing and also a quick eye, which requires much training, diligent prac- tice and thorough instruction. To sketch out, outline and correctly form the various styles and numerous sizes of letters without the aid of a square or compass may be considered an art. The two parallel lines simply govern the size of the letter, and the rest of the work must be measured and pro- portioned entirely by the eye alone. Many who are not experts, and prob- ably never will be, are compelled to re- sort to mechanical methods, which to always bound to plainly show a stiff- ness and a marked contrast from that of the free and graceful hand. One of the most difficult styles of lettering is the script, which was very popular some years ago. A very few signs of this style are now in existence. The general demand is for a much heavier and bolder letter. One important rea- son is that there are a very few of the present generation that can do justice to this style of work. It requires an immense amount of practice, more so than any other kind of lettering. There is none of the old masters now liv- ing, and their examples of this, the most graceful and beautiful of all styles, have become a matter of the past. -New York Times. Miss Cutter's Ubiquitous Friend, A curious case of mistaken identity took place not long ago, in which Miss Ruby Cutter, a church choir soprano and concert soloist. was the chief actor. She and a friend. also a soprano, were engaged to sing for a church charity the same evening. the latter In Jersey City and arks Cutter in: Brooklyn. They selected about the same reper- tory. After supper they took cabs. When Miss Cutter alighted In the darkness. she found, to her dismay, that she was In Jersey CIty and that in all probability her friend was at her church in Brooklyn. Evidently there had bre n a mix up in cabs. There was no t....c to undo the mistake, however, and Miss Cutter went forward, and, without explaining anything, took her friend's place and sang her numbers on the programme. The other singer, on the other hand, was more careful. She told the com- mittee of the mistake; but, like Miss Cutter, also filled the bill, but she did it In her owu name. The next morn- ing the papers bad Miss Cutter's friend singing with great applause in both cities at the same hour. -Saturday Evening Post. Persian Wit. The author of "Flowers From a Per - elan Garden" gives many examples ea o! oriental wit and humor, some of which are extremely delicate and pleasing. Among them is a story of a profes- sional scribe to whom a mad went, ask- ing that a letter might be written for him. The scribe said he bad a pain in his foot. "Pain In your foot!" echoed the man. "I don't want to send you ,to any place that you should make such an excuse." "Very true," said the scribe, "but whenever I write a letter to any one I am always sent for to read it, be- cause n0 one else can make it out" When a man becomes suddenly rich, it not infrequently follows that he be- comes as suddenly oblivious to hia.ald friends. Thus, a Persian having ob- tained a lucrative position at court, a friend of his came shortly afterward to congratulate him thereon. The new courtier asked him, "Who are are you, and why do you come here?" The other coolly replied: "Do you not know me, then? I am your old friend and am come to condole with you, having heard that you had lately lost your sight." -Youth's Companion. An Unjust Discrimination. "This idea of making you take out a license for a dog is all wrong," said the dog owner. "It 18 unjust discrimina- tion." "Oh, I don't know !" answered the man who had just come from the conn- ty clerk's office. "In most places you have to take out a license for a wife too " "But yon don't have to renew it ev- ery year," returned the dog owner in an aggrieved tone. -Chicago Poet. >"• 1 Illarnmenlentellnear 111111111111111111 • . THE GAZETTE. IRVING TODD & SON. SATURDAY, MAY 12th, 1900. Mr. Heatwole Accepts. The Zumbrota News prints the fol- lowing letter from our member of congress: I am in receipt of your favor of the 24th inst„ in which you ask whether I will again allow my name to be used as a candidate for congress. It is a great honor to represent in the congress of the United States such a district as the Third Minnesota, and if, i the judgment of the republicans of -th istrict, my record and service are such as call for a con- tinuation of that honor shall gladly ac- cept a renomination and do what I can to win the election. Thanking you for the kind expressions contained in your letter, and assuring you of my appreciation, I am very sincerely yours, JOEL P. HEA'1fWOLE. Minnesota Journalism. Kane Bros. have sold The Glencoe Enterprise to R. 13. McClelland and C. M. Tifft. Saylor & Baker, of The Buffalo Journal, have bought The Standard and consolidated the two papers. II. B. Wakefield, of The Hutchin- son Times, and Miss Lillian Ham - mous, of St. Cloud, were married on the 3d inst. We note with pleasure this important addition to the census rolls of the third district. Goodhue County will present the name of U. K. Naeseth, of Wana- mingo, to the republican congression- al convention at Olivia as a candidate for delegate to the national eonyen- tion at Philadelphia. As Red Wing furnished one of the delegates four years ago it would be no more than fair play to pass the honors around and give the other nine counties in the didtrict a show. Among the resolutions adopted by the republican couvention of Goodhue County on Wednesday is found the following: That we point with pride to the prom- inence and achieve,.,ents of our senators, C. K. Davis and Knute Nelson, and our representative. J. P. Heatwole, and ten- der them our thanks for their loyal ser- vice in behalf of the people. The delegates from Dakota County will present the name of E. A. Whit- ford, of Hastings, as one of the delegates from the third congressional district to the republican national convention at Philadelphia. The selection would he a credit to both the district and the state. A one rate fare for the round trip has been secured for the republican state conventions to be held at Min- neapolis Hay 16th and St. Paul June 28th, Sale to begin the day before and tickets good for two days after above dates. The seven republican members of congress from Minnesota will all be re -nominated and re-elected, as they certainly deserve. We were never better represented at Washington than during the past four years. Judge Thomas Canty's trip to Manila cost the state prison board $409, anti siuce his recent Minneap- olis outbreak the item has been charged up to the profit and loss account. Gerhard Bongaard, the defaulting treasurer of Carver County, was ar- rested at Olds, Northwest Territory, on Sunday by a Minneapolis detect- ive. He has been brought home for trial. Minnesota has now two populist candidates for vice president, but a nomination at Philadelphia would be worth a dozen of them. The people of Stillwater are as happy over their free bridge as a small boy with his first pair of red top boots. C. A. Towne, of Duluth, was nomi- nated fer vice president at the popu- list convention in Sioux Falls on Thursday. Ignatius Donnelly was nominated for vice president at the populist con- vention in Cincinnati on Thursday. Congressman Heatwole is now ex- perienced in legislative work; he is a hard worker and has acquired much influence at Washington. There is no one now in the field who could meas- ure up to him in the next congress. Although for local reasons he has had opposition in this county, with no local candidate whom we feel under obligation to support Renville County is for his renomination and re-election. The majority of the district is also. The opposition has failed to make good its claim for consideration. The time is now come to close up the ranks and work in harmony for the return of a republican congressman in the person of J. P. Heatwole, of Northfield, to the next congress. He is a creditable representative, and one upon whom the party can unite without apologies or shame. -Ren- ville Record. L. E. Metzger, secretary, has re- tired from the employ of the Good- hue Mill Company, and after visiting a week in Hastings will take a trip to Seattle and other points on the Pacific slope. -Cannon Falls Beacon. Empire Items. Born, May 4th, to Mr. and Mrs. George McClusky, a son. Miss Mabel Kirk entertained a party from Hastings last Sunday. A number from here attended the educational convention at Farming- ton last week. Mrs. P. P. Whittier and grandson, of Poplar Grove, spent Sunday at G. H. Whittier's. Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Bradford and daughter Eva and G. S. Balch were Hastings visitors on Wednesday. Mrs. Carrol Allen and baby, of Glencoe, is spending the week with her sister, Mrs. William Amidon. C. F. Staples and daughter Edith and Miss Hatty Panchot, of West St. Paul, were at P. F. Bradford's Satur- day night and Sunday. Jake Stapf is preparing to build a barn, thirty-six by fifty, with base- ment. R. C. Libbey & Co.'s teams are hauling the heavy timbers. Jim Macheak, eur former station agent, returned from Madison, Wash., the first of the week, much improved in health. He has accepted a posi- tion on the Great Western Road as station agent about a hundred miles below here. Pt. Douglas Items. Mrs. S. B. Small is visiting in St. Paul. Austin Shearer is quite sick with la grippe. Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Taplin and daughter dined at E. H. Whitaker's Sunday. Mark Wright, jr., and Thomas Fisher are both somewhat improved in health. Mrs. O. M. Leavitt left for River Falls Wednesday owing to the death of her father. We see by the Stillwater paper that Mr. Everett has transferred his real estate here to Nora M. Grant. The sooner she takes possession the more she will have to take. James Coffman is having a new hardwood floor laid in his sitting room, C. R. Whitaker is filling up and sodding the door yard, Irvin Shearer is having new sills and other improve- ments to his house, and T. B. Leavitt is grading up and sodding. Randolph Items. Charles Dickman drove to St. Paul with a Load of hogs on Tuesday. A. A. McElrath has gone to Wis- consin to see about buying a farm. Miss Jennie Foster, of Northfield, is spending the week with relatives in this vicinity. Quite a number of the friends of Miss Ethel Cran pleasantly surprised her Saturday evening. The Methodist Sunday school elect- ed Miss Nettie McElrath as a delegate to the state convention. The new organ earned by the school children in giving entertain- ments was in its place Monday Morn- ing, much to their pleasure. Loggers . are still receiving dis- couraging news from the tributaries of the St. Croix on which their logs are situated. They have hoped for rains that would enable them to com- mence driving, but dry weather con- tinues and not a log is moving. The supply now in the river will be ex- hausted in a few days and the boom shut down. Several mills on the St. Croix will also be compelled to sus- pend operations until new logs arrive. -Stillwater Journal. All of the republican papers as well as many of the democratic papers in the third congressional district are loud in the praise of Congressman J. P. Heatwole for his efficient work in congress the past session and espec- ially for the way he conducted him self on the Puerto Rican tariff bill. He is again a candidate for nomina- tion, and the third can do no better than put him on the ticket by accla- mation. His election is assured. - Chatfield News. As the time for the republican third district convention draws on apace it is easy to be seen that Con- gressman Heatwole will be renomi- nated by acclamation at LeSueur. As a matter of fact he never had any opposition at any time that carried any weight with it, from any part of the district. Watch the scramble for the band wagon by his opposition un- til the convention is due. -Renville Star -Farmer. George Frye was going over a lot of old business papers the other day, and among them found a letter from Chicago, dated in 1894, that had not been opened. He opened it and was pleased and surprised to find a cash- ier's draft for $26.00. Since the let- ter was sent the -:firm buying the draft had failed, and the man from whom the money come had been sent to the penitentiary. -Elk River Star News. Frank Swanson, of Eggleston, went through a neighbor's pasture the otter er day. The Vermillion Lake had then been rising and a part of the pasture was flooded. Frank carried a spear, and as he walked along the edge of the lake saw a fish in the wa- ter. He threw the spear on a slant, and on taking it up again found that he had speared three buffaloes in one throw. -Red Wing Republican. Dakota County Educational Association. The eighth annual convention, held in Farmington last week, was one of the most profitable and successful in the history of that organization.

Daine. The president, Supt. F. P. Phipps, of Farmington, read his address. A' -able paper on The Legal Rights of Teachers and Parents was read by the Hon. C. F.

Fortunately, a friend advised trying Electric Bitters; and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. i. know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cts., guaran- teed, at S. B.

When love is deed, draw thou the lattice close, Shut out th. world, with all its blare and din; Rain down tlia petals of the faded rose Lest pity enter in. When love is dead, weave thou a checkered pall Of broken promises and faith unkept, For in the twilight, when the soft dews fall, Thy heart shall know love wept. The bee shall drone his homely,. humming note Upon thine ear until thy day shall pass; The wood bird shall reproach thee from the moat And things that throng the grass. A little child shall look with wondering eye Into thine awn and greet thy smile with tears; A buttertly with ghostly wings shall die And haunt thee through the gats, -Virginia Frazer Boyle in Harper's Magazine., ♦0•0•o•o•oeoe600o•0000000 0 • A PUFF • • OFWIND : oO p •And What It Did For a Husband. o • BY W. R. ROSE. • •o•o•o•o•o•o••o•o•o•o•o•o• Ile opened the frout door with his latchkey and let himself in. It was blowing hard outside, and as he held the door ajar,a puff of wind rushed in. It was a strong capful, and it swayed the curtains and fluttered the long leaves of the hardy palm in tire parlor archway. Theu it caught up a bit of note paper that lay on the little table in the hall andwhirled it away be- neath the•bookcase in the corner,. The man who was entering did not see this fluttering note. IIe shut the door quick- - ly and turned about. "Nellie! Oh, Nellie! Where the deuce can she be?" he muttered. "Never left me like this before. What slid she take with her?" He opelted the clothes closet off the bedroom and looked at her garments hanging in an orderly row. Iie let his hand fall lovingly on the familiar folds and pass down them with a gently smoothing pressure. Iler dresses seemed so eloquent of her pres- ence. Was she hiding behind these dangling rocks? IIe poked his way into the closet, up one side and back on the other, but no Nellie was concealed within its limited area. "Funny!" he muttered again. "Seems to be gone without a word. Wonder what she did with her jewelry?" He thought he knew where she hid it away, but he didn't. At least it wasn't there. "May have taken -it with her," he murmured and stopped short- The idea was an ugly one. "You're n .fool, John Austin!" he said and scowled at himself in the glass. There was a pleasant aroma arising from the interior of the dresser. It seemed a part of her. There were two of her hairpins lying on the dresser top. He picked them . up carefully and laid them ou the little china dish where a dozen or more of their brothers were stretched at length. Her old shoes lay beside her low sewing chair, small and slim. He knew she had gone in a hur- ry. She would. never have left this mark of untidiness if she hadn't been pressed for time. But what could have drawn_ her away flow home so Sud- denly? John Austin was not a thoroughly well man. He hail worked too hard; he was nervous and irritable. Evening after evening he had come home and unloaded into his wife's keeping as much as he could of his burden of daily vexations. For the first time in their 18 months of married bliss his wife had left him without a word of warn- ing. He came slowly y down the stairway and dropped himself into a big chair in the library. His eye wandered about the apartment. It was growing dusky outside, and the books about him were dim and misty. He shook his fist in a sudden fit of frenzy at the tiers of vol- umes. "She's been reading harmful books," he sputtered; "Ibsen and Maeterliuk,, and who knows what all? They are dangerous and degrading. They cor- rupt the soundest mind with their pes- simistic sophistries. What's this?" He picked up a newspaper clipping from the table and, lighting the gas, read it aloud: "The souls of women knock some- times at the bars of convention, of tra- dition, of marriage, and clamor for freedom -even if it be the briefest of respites. Sometimes when they least expect it the desire to .fly grows strong upon them and they are ready to throw down all that is at hand and strike out boldly in the direction of the luring voice. Who can blame them? Do you blame the captive brutes in the arena for beating their breasts sore against the cruel bars that cut them off from tire delights of liberty? Woman has the same instinct. It flares out at times when least expected, and the woman goes forth heart hungry and longing, too, for that blessed boon that men call -and monopolize -freedom." ,John threw the clipping down. "Absolute rot," he snarled. Then he quickly said, "And she must have been reading,it just before she started out." His voice sank on the last words, then he briskly , added: "Don't be a fool, John. Everything will come out all right. You know it will. Here you are worrying over what is, probobly a trivial incident. Be a man." Nevertheless bis hand trembled when he picked up the obnoxious clipping an$ tossed it into the wastebasket. He leaned back in his chair and, tak- ing out a cigar, lighted and smoked it. He thought of the first time he saw Nellie, of how little he imagined she would become so dear to him, of the gradual growth of love, of the day he asked her to be his wife. Queer thathe had never gone over. the romance be- fore. How vividly it all came back to .flm. And this was the first time he had recalled it. He had been too busy to think • of such trifles. Trifles! Too busy to think of aught save his own plans and hopes and ambitions. Had his wIie no hopes and plans -no ambi- tions? Was her life so indissolubly linked with his that she was individu- ally effaced? He had never asked him- self this question before. It was time it was asked. How supremely selfish he had been! He had never recognized the fact until now. He passed blf, hand wearily over his forehead. Ile wasn't well. He had the blues. He needed a strong bracer. He. went to_ the side- board and poured out a half tumbler- ful of "whisky in the little glass. He picked it up. Then he pushed it back. It seemed cowardly. Why should he be afraid of his thoughts? He remem- bered, too, how reproachfully she al- ways looked at him when he drank. He ktlew it was a temptation that he ought to avoid. And yet her reproach ful ' glances never stopped him. H would laugh at her and drink in a spir it of bravado. He went back to the big chair in the library. " What confounded disagree- able companions a man's thoughts were! They came uninvited and they didn't have the grace to leave when they found they- were not welcome. sIt and think? She had Sweet Revenge! She sat in a car with a little smile of satisfaction on her face, for she was well and tastefully dressed, and that means a great deal to a woman. As she moved up to make room for a new- comer a man entered, .and as be sat down he said to the comfortable one: "Why, Jane, this isn't your afternoon e - off! How did they come to let you out • Did Nellie ever o plenty of time for it. Much more time • than he had. Did she look back as he A had been looking back? Did -did she o regret? A great many people had admired Nellie. All the men who knew of his domestic affairs considered him a very lucky man. Ile took their compliments as a matter of course. He felt com- placently thatthis was complimentary to his good taste and his admirable home discipline. Fool! Therewas one man -in particular, his friend, whom he had reason to believe had loved Nellie and would have made her his wife. He was a fine fellow, a popular man, and he was worth a good deal of money, He Would have made life easier, perhaps happier, for her. He contrasted himself with this men. Was there any possible balance in his favor? And yet Nellie had preferred him. Was it love or was it pique? Did the occasional sight of this old ad- mirer ever arouse regret? He got up slowly and looked at the clock. -He had been dozing and dream- ing for he knew not how long. It was past midnight. He would go to bed. She certainly wasn't cooling home. Be- sides, she had "her key. He turned off the gas and went up the stairs slowly and wearily. " Ile felt old. When he reached their room, he did not light the gas. He knew that almost every object in the apart- ment would remind' him of her. When he was in bed, he stretched his arm slowly and tenderly across the va- cant place beside him and fell asleep. He awoke with a subtle odor in his nostrils, faint, yet pungent -a delicious odor. IIe sat up quickly. It was broad daylight, with the sun pouring througli the window, over which he bad forgot- ten' to draw the shade. He looked about. No, Nellie hadn't come home. "John, John, you lazy boy! It's 8 o'clock, and the coffee Is getting cold." Was that her voice or was he dream- ing? Can:y-ou dream the o'tlor of cof- fee? He dressed in a wild hurry and then added the finishing touches more s4owly. She was at tile- foot of the stairs, he: face beaming,_ her eyes sparkling. "Hello, Johnnie," she cried. "Hello," he answered and stooped to meet her kiss. "-Hiss me?" "Yes, a little." "That's . right. , Where did you get your dinner?" "Dinner?" "You great goose, I don't believe you had any! Diel you miss nye as much as that? But you'll enjoy your breakfast all the more. Of course you got my note?" John started slightly. - "Of course." " "Why, what's this by the bookcase? Here's the note now. A puff of wind must have blown it from the table where. you dropped it. There, there; sit down. You'll find your butterfly wife hasn't forgotten how to cook. How's the coffee?" "First class," answered John, with a great gulp. "Thank you, dear. You see, Mabel • sent for me in such a hurry I just had time to scribble that. note and jump in the carriage. And, oh, John, they've got the sweetest little girl baby there you ever saw! And, John, do you know, Mabel wouldn't let me out of her sight for a moment; just clung to me and didn't want anybody else to come near her; kept me holding tight to her hand for hours and hours. It touched me deeply, John. I never dreamed Mabel cared so much for me." He looked up. Her bright eyes were full of tears. • • "Can you blame her?" he asked, with a lame attempt at jocularity. Then he added, "Been up all night?" "Yes," she answered. "I couldn't get away until Mabel fell asleep. But 1 hope I don't show my late hours as you do, John. You look quite bleary." As he went down the street to the far a little later he felt quite as bleary as he looked. He bad passed a bard night, and he hadn't the Marvelous re- cuperative powers of bis wife. He was irritable and angry at himself: "Confound that puff of wind," he said.=Cleveland Plain Dealer. All a Mistake.

Among the many wonderful freaks in nature there can be none in the geo- logical line that can possibly excel that known as "The GIant's Head." It stands, or, rather, reclines, against the face of the cliff at Point Pinos, in Monterey county, Cal., and all who have viewed the wonder declare it to be the most colossal as well as the most marvelous freak in natural sculp- ture in existence. All portions of the "head" except the back, which appears to be "blocked" into the metamorphic rocks against which it seems to be so naturally re- clining, are as perfect as though fresh from the hands of some giant sculptor. The chin, mouth, nose, eyes and brow are all perfect, as is also the hair, which appears to be gracefully drawn back from the forehead. The ears are not so "true to life" as the other features are, but even in this respect no stretch of the imagination is required in order to see tolerably perfect auricular appendages. The bold features, backward wave of the hair, massive forehead, mustache, fine- ly chiseled nostrils and deep set eyes are all reproduced on a natural yet gi- gantic scale and with wonderful exact- ness._ The Typewriter and the Eye. There is the general opinion among oculists that the eye is much relieved by the general introduction of type- written matter. A recent medical work upon diseases of the eye gives a great many proofs in substantiation of this opinion. The characters are so larl;e on the keys that there is no appreciable strain; onthe vision, and when dexterity' is at- tained the eyes can scarcely be said to be used at all. A vast strain is taken. off the eye by writing with the type- writer instead of the pen, but the ad- vantages of reading the typewritten matter are even more important from a medical point of view, .and the strain upon- the hands is also slight. It is said that a person can work for eight consecutive hours, with slight in- terruptions, without the hands being conscious of fatigue. In usieg the typewriter the additional labor of fo- cusing the eyes calls the muscles into undue use, and the result is that many defects of vision which would not probably be discovered under normal conditions are brought to the front. - Scientific American. - Paris Is France. Paris has always been Prance. All the great movements of the country have been centered here., whether po- litical, religious, social, literary or ar- tistic.. So that any attempt to trace the history of the city launches one imme- diately into the study of the nation, while an effort to master the history of the French people sends one to Paris. One realizes this particularly when he comes to study the lives of her great men and women. They may have been born in the south or east or north or west, but to rise to the first rank they were obliged to seek the capital. It was there they sought instruction, formed relations, began their careers, played their parts.-Scribner's. Not Tactful. Lord John Russell was not tactful. On one occasion he took the Duchess of Inverness down to dinner, and after he had sat down for a minute he jump- ed up and went to the opposite side of the table and sat by the Duchess of St. Albans. His wife asked him afterward why he had done it. He said, "I should bave been 111 if I had sat with my back to that great fire." "I hope," said Lady John, "you gave your reason to the Duchess of Inver- ness." "No," he said, "I didn't, but I told the Duchess of St. Albans!" Fine Writing. "By the way, Naggus," asked Borus, who was lounging in the office of the literary editor, "what do you consider the finest piece of writing in exist- ence?" "Well," answered the literary editor, with a yawn, "the Ten Commandments written in a circle of the size of a silver quarter is about as fine as any I have ever seen." -Chicago Tribune.

"Lots of it," said the matter of fact person behind the counter, producing a hot of snuff. "How much do you want?" He Ooulda't Solve Itti. As a train was approaching a town on the Great Northern railway in Ire- land an intelligent looking young Irish- man observed a lady standing up searching her pocket. She commenced to weep. "Have you been robbed?" 1 he asked. "Oh, no," she replied; "I've lost my ticket, and they will accuse me of fraud." Seeing her distressed state of mind, he said: "Oh, don't mind. Here, take my tick- et, and I will give the guard a prob- lem," while their fellow passengers awaited the scene at the station with interest. When the train stopped, the guard collected all the tickets but one. "Where is your ticket?" he asked the young man. - "You have got my ticket," he replied. "No, I have not got it. I'll call the station master and see about it." "Where is your ticket?" asked the station master when he appeared. "He has my ticket. See if he has a ticket in his hand with a small piece off the corner." "Yes, you have, Dave. There it is." "Well, see will that fit it?" said Pat, handing him the small piece, and it did. A look of surprise crept over the guard's face as he left the carriage, while Pat caused much amusement by exclaiming, "Begorra, I knew he could not solve it!" -London Tit -Bits. Two of Nast's Faces. William M. Tweed was a portly man of medium size, with a long, pendulous nose, little porcine eyes, fat, drooping cheeks and a straight, firm mouth that was decidedly his best feature. The outlines of his face were those of a Bartlett pear, little end upward, and I never saw craft so palpably written upon a human countenance. Nast used to be fond of drawing Tweed's face, by the way, as a sack of money. The general contour of his head lent itself to the outlines of the sack, and he used $ marks for the nose and eyes. Strange to say, it was a capital por- trait. Another of Nast's trick pictures was one of Roscoe Conkling. He would draw a large letter V, with a smaller v inside it and surmount the pair with an interrogation mark upside down. The big V represented Conkling's point- ed beard, the smaller one his sharp' nose and the interrogation point the Hyperion curl which he always allowed to fall negligently upon his forehead. That Caricature made the haughty sen- ator wild and exasperated him more than any bit of fun that was ever poked in his direction, -New Orieaus Times - Democrat. A Story of Amos Cummings. One summer a number of years ago Amos Cummings passed two weeks on a pilot boat and took Ernest Jer- rold, the author of "Mickey Finn Idylls," with him for company. One day a great storm arose, and the pilot boat was tossed about on the waves like a chip. Every minute a wave would dash over the deck and threaten to carry everything away and swamp the boat. Cummings and Jerrold were in the little cabin, the former lying in a bunk intently reading a book on the French revolution. Jerrold poked his head out to look at the storm, when a mountain of sea water fell with a boom on the deck and filled his eyes with spray. The boat gave a fearful lurch and careened until It seemed that she must turn completely over. "This is awful, Amos," said Jerrold. "I'1n going to put on a life preserver, for i don't think the boat can stand it many minutes longer." "Oh, keep quiet, and let me read, Mickey," said Cummings, never lifting his eyes from the page. "The men on this boat draw a regular salary to keep her- afloat." -Saturday Evening Post, Appropriate. At Chalfont, St. Giles, England, stands a remarkable monument, erect- ed by Sir Hugh Palliser to his friend, Captain Cook, the celebrated navigator. One of the most singular visits to this monument occurred in 1865 when Queen Emma of the Sndwich Islands went in company with Bishop Wilberforce. People in the district still recall, with amuse- ment, how the villagA band, wishing to greet her majesty with an appropriate tune and not knowing the Sandwich Islands national anthem, tootled forth "The King of the Cannibal Islands." The First Vmibrella. To prove at what date the first um- brella was made is a seemingly hope- less task, but we find records of their use among the Greeks and Romans not alone as a protection from sun or rain, but as a' distinguishing mark of royalty. By the time of Queen Anne's reign they had become quite common simply as a protection, but they wer all imported until about 1802, when the manufacture of them was begun in England. Knew Bis Pop. "A little fellow" says the Kennebec Journal, "the oldest in a family of little ones, whose father worked -away from home winters, had occasion to visit his grandparents for a few days. On his return he found another little member. His remarks will show that he was both surprised and indignant: 'Well, if you haven't gone and got another gosh darned kid! Won't my father be mad when he hears of it!' " Comprehensive. On a tombstone in an old New Eng- land churchyard there is an epitaph which neeer falls to bring a smile to the face of the reader: "To the memory of Ann Sophia and Julia Hattie, his two wives, this stone is erected by their grateful widower, James B. Rollins. They made home Dleasant."-Woman's Journal. He Knew Itot the Word. "Did your father bring you?" asked a teacher in a West Virginia mountain Sunday school of a small new pupiL "Me what?"

A richly dressed woman entered the office of a trust company in Philadel- phia the other clay to rent a box. "Have you any one to identify you?" asked the attendant. "Certainly not," said the woman in- dignantly. "Everybody knows who I am," "That may be," was the reply, "but I don't know that you are the woman of that name." Just then another woman, who had - been transacting some business, raised - her head, and a frigid nod passed be- tween them. "Do you know this woman?" asked the bank official. "I don't want to know her," snapped the woman. "She lives next door to me, and instructed her footman to kick my dog, just because it chanced to be on her step. You needn't ask me to identify her, for I won't." "I wouldn't let you identify me," re- torted the applicant for a box. "I think you have acted horridly about your old dog, and you left the Dorcas so- ciety, telling everybody you wouldn't belong as long as I was a member. A nice Christian spirit!" In the meantime the bank official, en- tirely satisfied that the identification was complete, handed over the key to the box, to the ill concealed chagrin of the otherewoman, who had identified her against her will. -New York Trib- une. • Thought They Were Dogs, Summer in Dawson City is delightful, and even the winters, say those who have staid there in that season, are glorious. Many are the stories told about the wondrous beauties of the trail over the ice and the White pass, where even women have gone, han- dling their dogs from day to day as the men handled theirs. Every man and woman there has a ,story, an in- teresting and some thrilling, "I used to like to start out first in the morning,"said a Detroit woman. "Once, as I hurried my dogs down the trail in the gray dawn, I saw three stray ani- mals romping on the way. Now, if you catch up with a stray dog on the trail, he is yours; so, my heart flutter- ing with joy, I began whistling to the half wild creatures. "At first they paid no attention to me, but kept romping and leap frog- ging up and down the train. I slowed up my team and put myself in front, the better to make my peace with the renegades. "When we had come within 100 yards of them, they stopped playing, sat down and stared at us. I whistled again, and 'hey all ran. How foolish I felt when it suddenly dawned on me that I had been trying to harness three wild wolves!" -New York Independent. They Hadn't Met. A correspondent of the Hartford Cou- rant tells of a news clipping bureau which sent a letter to John Bunyan, author of a work entitled "The Life of Mr. Badman," in care of a publisher, urging Mr. Bunyan to subscribe to the bureau. "After the decease of the late P. T. Barnum," continues the correspond- ent, "the 'Greatest Show on Earth' continued for awhile to use the magic of his name. It was coming to Hart- ford, and it sent free tickets to clergy- men here. Among the letters contain- ing said tickets was one addressed to the Rev. Dr. Joel Hawes, who had died some years before. The letter was sent to Dr. George L. Walker, then the active pastor of the First church. "On reading and pondering it Dr. Walker is credibly y reported to have said: 'A letter from P. T. Barnum to Dr. Hawes! Mr. Barnum is dead and Dr. Hawes is dead. It is evident that they have not met yonder.' " Paper Carpets In Korea. "Carpets in Korea are not of as little moment as are carpets here. They are handed down in families as heirlooms from generation to generation to be- come darkened and subdued with age. They are rugs always and are made of paper by a peculiar process. In ap- pearance they are much like the lac- quered boxes which come from Japan and which are so much used as hand- kerchief boxes," said the old time American consul in Korea. "The na- tives always take off their sandals when they enter the house, and that fact accounts largely for the long life of the rugs. When I was there, how- ever, I shocked the feelings of every one by wearing my shoes, carpets or no carpets, and during my stay I com- pletely wore out some of those beauti- ful dark colored carpets. They are about a quarter of an inch in thickness and very effective." Earth Fortifications. Military engineers are practically agreed that no material for fortifica- tions is superior to earth. When clay is not obtainable, as. on the seashore, sand is collected into bags, and these are laid in regular heaps along the line bf the proposed fortification. In such a fortification the balls from the ene- my's guns sink without doing damage, and shells explode harmlessly. Domestic Infelicity. Husband -What's worrying you now?

AS REVEALED IN ATTRACTIVE NEW COSTUMES OF CLOTH AND SILK. A Swell LIgh weight Check Spring Suit—Natty r uulard Summer Gown, Popular Trimmings—Taffeta Tailor Sults the Latest Fad. The fashion chronicler's task when selecting a few of the modes of the day for mention is an unusually pleasant one at present, for seldom has every- thing in the world of dress been more uniformly attractive. All recent changes tend, on the whole, to grace, elegance and comfort of attire. But CHECK CLOTH SUIT. fashion's moods have become so man- ifold with the advancing season that to attempt to generalize about them is distinctly less profitable than to bring before the reader some. of the mani- festations which have been received with greatest favor. In the first cut We have, for example, a fashionable frock of black and white lightweight goods strapped with black taffeta silk, with which is worn a tuck- ed taffeta vest, crepe de chine collar and bow and a scarlet silk waist band with fringed ends. In the second cut is a smart foulard silk gown. for summer wear, which shows one of the new tucked skirts, a very chic lace bolero and a silk waist band arrangement. And just here it may not be amiss to remark upon the popularity of lace in summer modes. Lace appliques are, in fact, more noticeable on some gowns than the foundation material. Russian laces, especially iu what Is known as string or twine color, are the fashion- able heavy -laces for use with cloth, velvet and the heavier silks, and the color mentioned harmonizes well with pastel shades. Mechlin will be a fa- vorite wash dress trimming. Cluny, Italian and valenciennes laces and ba- tiste applique are other favorites for thin materials. Appliques 'of every description rank among the idols of the hour. A lovely dress of coarse white net, for instance, is covered with appliques of "white cloth." Black and white spotted panne is also very much in vogue. and it is introduced as facings and serves on many of the light cloth walking gowns. Another popular idol is taffeta, which the authorities have contrived to make of softer texture than heretofore, and taffeta costumes of coat and skirt FOULARD GOWN. style, elaborated with embroidery of chenille, will be among the extrava- gances of the season. There is a tendency toward the re- vival of gold buttons and gold braid, and these on light cloth dresses, with a touch of black cleverly introduced and a cravat or vest of ecru lace, ha ve undoubted charms. BEST LIFE FOR HEALTH. Outdoor Existence and Its Effect on the Nerves. The London Lancet makes some in- teresting comments on the effect of conditions in crowded England upon the public health, with the Boers as an example of the benefits accruing from plenty of room, simple habits and out- door life. "The ambition of the Boer," says The Lancet, "is to be surrounded by so vast a tract of land that he cannot see the dwelling of his nearest neighbor. Then his occupations are all outdoor occupa- tions. He must ride enormous dis- tances to go to church, to do his shop- ping, to fetch a medical man or to pay a visit. For his food supply he de- pends to some extent upon hunting, and here again we have a health giving occupation, to say nothing of the inci- dental fact that this enables him to be- come an excellent marksman. There is the all important fact that he is ex- empt from the health wearing trials alike of wealth and of poverty, neither surfeited by luxurious living nor starv- ed for want of the necessaries of exist- ence. "But what In the long run often proves more fatal still is the terri- ble strain on the nervous system due to the want of leisure, the want of free- dom from anxiety caused by our over- wrought civilization and the acuteness of the struggle for existence. The Boer mind is not torn and harassed by the ambitious hope of wealth or the con- stant dread of bankruptcy, of poverty, debt and starvation. He feels quite safe as to the morrow's existence. His land is not overpopulated, but under- populated. "He knows nothing either of our sor- did poverty, of our overcrowding and of all the insalubrious and degrading conditions bred of misery that accom- pany and put to shame our wealth. It would not be possible to find a 'sub- merged tenth' among the Boers. There- fore the Boers are free from those nerve disorders that so largely contrib- ute to destroy the health of the popula- tions in the great commercial centers. "Even the Boers are taller, stronger and of a more powerful physique than the English. It is quite a common oc- currence to meet a Boer 6 feet 6 inches in height. The Boer who has taken to town life and acquired town vices may degenerate like other people, but this is not of frequent occurrence. Even those who do live in towns often pre- serve their primitive and simple meth- ods of existence." Apples For Health. Chemically the apple is composed of vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar, gum, chlorophyl, malic acid, gallic acid, line and much water, says The American Practitioner. Furthermore, the Ger- man analysts say that the apple con- tains a larger percentage of phosphor- us than any other fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus is admirably adapted to renewing the essential nervous mat- ter of the brain and the spinal cord. It is perhaps for the same reason, rude- ly understood, that old Scandinavian traditions represent the apple as the food of the gods, who when they felt themselves to be growing feeble and infirm resorted to this fruit, renewing their powers of mind and body. The acids of the apple are of singular use for men of sedentary habits, whose livers are sluggish in action, those acids serving to eliminate frotn the body noxious matters, which, if retained would make the brain heavy and dull or bring about jlundice or skin erup- tions and other allied troubles. Some such experience must have led to the custom of taking apple sauce with roast pork, rich goose and other like dishes. The malic acid of ripe apples, either raw or cooked, will neutralize any excess of chalky matter engender- ed by eating too much meat. Picking Potato Bugs. Most methods for the extermination of potato bugs remind one of the old recipe for makiug hare soup, which began, "First catch your hare," so that about the only effective method of get- ting rid of this little pest is to first catch your bug and then kill him. A western inventor, hailing from Lone Tree, Ia., very seriously offers a recently patented device for assisting in catching the bugs, says the Phila- delphia Record. It consists of a gas pipe frame wheelbarrow, the handles of which are supported by straps pass- ing around the shoulders of the user. At one side of the frame is a windmill arrangement, operated by a crank, the idea being, of course, to push this bar- row alongside of the individual potato plants and by turning the crank to beat the foliage with the paddles and thus dislodge any bugs that might be cling- ing to it. It is assumed that the force of the blow, which would be proportioned to the strength of the plant, will knock the bugs off the leaves and branches and throw them into a pan in the bot- tom of the barrow, where they could be killed by a poison solution or by any other suitable method.

NEW WALL PAPERS. VERY TASTEFUL AND ATTRACTIVE DESIm NS OF THE SEASON. Rich, Durk Colors With Large Fig- ures—Plain Paper Still Used—Beau- tiful Tapestry Papers—Huge Flow- ers and Floral Stripes. It is no difficult thing to understand that most of the newer designs for bed- room paper have been fashioned with an eye to country houses, for surely few city houses could hope to boast of bedrooms spacious enough to accommo- date the great, glorious roses or pop- pies that appear on so many of the TAPESTRY PAPER. newest papers, says the New York Sun, which gives the following infor- mation about them: They are ou almost any color, these. flowers, and they are arranged In stripes in alinost every case. In fact, the first and fundamental law govern- ing paper for the bedroom seems to be that it shows a floral stripe. Huge pop- pies of red or of lavender, large red or yellow roses are among the favorites, for the colors are almost without ex- ception gay and bright. The more delicate floral stripes are still to be found in plenty, and with a confirmed following, since fu the selec- tion of wall paper more than in most things individual taste will have its way in spite of changes in style. That is true especially as regards the plain paper. It has always been more or less in style, dating back to even the old days when a special border for each paper was a thing unknown. At that time, if a certain paper was se- lected, there were a few anxious mo- ments on the part of the dealer while he hunted around among his assort- ment of borders to see if he could match one by any chance to the color, let alone the design. The plain paper bids fair to remain in style, the only difference coming in with the color. Just now the best color is considered to be some one of the soft shades of brown against which pictures show up to their best advan- tage, although almost any color goes so long as It harmonizes with the fur- nishings of the room. The best plain paper is that with a crape finish, better than the cartridge paper because it takes on richer colorings, and rich col- oring is a demand of the day in wall papers. To generalize and describe the new wall papers in one brief sentence one would probably say that they are dark and rich in coloring and large in design. That would about cover the field. A great feature of the papers for libraries and dining rooms, where warmth of color is desirable, is the English or French tapestry design cop- ied from ofd tapestries, with all the original wealth of hue, so that the ef- fect is nearly perfect. A closely cov- ered yet bold arrangement after Eng- lish tapestries shows the fleeing stag, the pursuing pack and all the other details of the chase. Some of the most beautiful of the drawing room papers are those with delicate hued flowers against a white background with the moire antique effect. Heavy grosgrain white silk may be the suggestion offered by an - A MODERN ART DESIGN. other paper where the dainty blues, pinks and yellows in which French papers revel appear in an ascending stripe. But not even all the parlor papers are light and airy. The return to dark colors has made a dark toned red pa- per, red in the background, a still deep- er and more velvety red in the floral design, a favorite. The heavy embossed papers, which are the most expensive of all, show a marked preference for roco- co designs, although conventionalized patterns are no mean seconds. From Bad to Worse.

Sherman of Springfield, Mass., says The Republican, has, he believes, perfected a plan for forcing the growth of almost any form of -plant life to the extent that the results of several years' progress by natural growth are accom- plished in one season. The plan is simply to supply directly to the roots of the plant, tree or shrub the chem- icals needed in its growth and thus save the growing thing the trouble of extending its roots out through a broad space of ground for the natural sources. To thus supply the nutriment Mr. Sherman employs a utensil into which the chemicals are supplied from the surface, and the storage chamber be- comes surrounded with a thick growth of roots that feed -on the chemicals as they filter through the "machine." Mr. Sherman has already accomplished material results with his Invention and has interested several prominent hor- ticulturists and agriculturists. During last summer the process was tried on a Queen of the Prairie rose bush. Two bushes, each a year old, were taken for the test. One that was planted under as favorable natural conditions as pos- sible grew to the height of three feet and bore seven blossoms. The second, equipped with the automatic "pusher," grew to over 15 feet in height and bore 2,000 blossoms. The tush was loaded with perfect double roses of a deepened color and a marked fragranee. The bush was hardy and, having stood un- protected during the winter, gives promise of even greater results during the coming season. The growth of 15 feet was secured in three months and showed a record of 26 inches in seven days. This is a case of where a man might sit on his piazza and grow "a shade" fast enough to make it unnec- essary for him to move out of the sun- light Favorite Foods of Plants. It is more than 2,000 years since phi- losophers began to speculate about the food of plants and what we may term their "digestive" processes, says Knowledge, but it is only during the latter half of this century that really clear and definite uot!ons concerning the food supplies of the vegetable world have been generally accepted by scientific men. As far as is known, the first botanical experiment ever per- formed was conducted by Van Hel- mont. He placed in a pot 200 pounds of dried earth, and In it he planted a willow branch which weighed five pounds. He kept :he whole;. covered up and dally watered the eai4h with rainwater. After live years' growth the willow was taken up and again weighed and was fount to have gained 164 pounds. The earth in the pot was dried and weighed aad had lost only two ounces. Knowledge was net yet sufficiently advanced to enable Van Helutont to interpret these striking results correct- ly, and he cane to :Ise erroneous con- clusion that the increased weight of the plant was due to the water which had been supplied to the roots. He therefore looked upon this experiment as supporting the theory which he had advanced—viz, that plants required no food but water. Stephen Hales ad- vanced the subject a great step by indi- cating that much of the increase in weight of plants was darived from car- bon dioxide in the air. Unhealthy For Cooks. A French hygienic journal publishes the result of an investigation into the condition of the kitchens of Parisian eating houses and hotek, made in view of the fact that within a few months Paris will be crowded with visitors. These kitchens, which are invariably in the basement, hava not even the most primitive form of ventilation. The ceilings are usually less than eight feet from the floors, many of them being below the street sewers and drained by cesspools. The kitchels are cramped very often to an extraordinary degree. and in them are crowded the larder, the hot stoves and the cooks, with their assistants. The temperature is often found to register as hijh as 140 to 160 degrees F. In this 'rightful atmos- phere men and women work from 6 in the morning until 10 )'clock at night, with only short intervals for eating, but none for repose. It is little wonder that there is an abnormal mortality among cooks in Paris, and that most of the deaths are caused from tubercu- losis and gastro hepatitis. Flooding Sahara. A correspondent writes, in reference to the old scheme for flooding the Sa- hara desert by means of a canal 60 miles long from the Atlantic, that the project is impracticable. He maintains the canal could net possibly furnish enough water to compensate for the evaporation in thatiatitude. The lake, large or small, which would be formed would soon become a pit of salt, and that would be the ind of it. The cor- respondent makes the unanswerable assertion that one cannot go on evap- orating sea water vithout getting salt. There is an escape for the water by evaporation, but none for the percent- age of salt. If the Sahara canal were large enough, and, if Its water were fresh and not salt, the project would be practicable, bit as things are it isn't. Hairpins and Headaches.

It is not difficult to understand why fried foods are so- indigestible if we take the trouble to study the physiolo- gy of digestion, says the Philadelphia Medical Journal. The proteids, which are the chief nutritive constituents of meat, oys$ers, fish and eggs, in order to be digested and assimilated must be acted upon by the gastric or pancreatic Juices, and before this can take place the layer of fat which has covered and permeated the morsel in frying must be removed. This is accomplished by the process of emulsification, which means the expenditure of a large amount of digestive energs. The butter applied to broiled meats Is far less pernicious, for not only is butter the most easily emulsified of the fats, but it is not soaked in by the gradual heating, as is the case with most drled foods. The condition of the fried starchy foods, like potatoes, is very similar, for in order that the starch may be changed into assimilable grape sugar it must be acted upon by the amylopsin of the pancreatic juice. What can be done to lessen the fried food nuisance? Perhaps nothing so long as present conditions exist; so long as the highest ideal of the people is to ac- cumulate dollars rather than to develop and preserve healthy bodies which shall be the servants of healthy minds. Yet if those who teach physiology in our public and other schools under- stood their subject and its practical ap- plications as they should, if there were more schools in which wholesome, eco- nomical cooking were taught as It should be, if physicians took every op- portunity to impress such facts of prac- tical hygienic importance as they should there can be no doubt that by some sensible and well informed people the fried abominations would be avoid- ed. The Earth's Center. Of late years the general view has been that the interior of the globe, though partly liquid, is for the most part solid. Some, says Pearson's Week- ly, have considered that a section through the earth would show the fol- lowing: (1) An outer solid envelope, (2) a semifluid envelope, (3) a fluid en- velope, (4) a semifluid envelope and (5) a solid nucleus. No. 1 results from a reduced temperature only; No. 2, from a pressure and temperature not quite sufficient for liquefaction; No. 3, from a temperature sufficiently high to produce complete liquefaction; No. 4, from a pressure so great as to pre- vent even the terrific heat which most certainly exists deep down in the earth from completely liquefying the ma- terial on which it works; No. 5, from a pressure which overcomes completely the liquefying power even of the maxi- mum heat of the interior. This pressure is estimated to be, at the center of the earth, 7,180,593,750 pounds to the square foot, a pressure so enormous that no known substance could fuse beneath R. Even hydrogen at the highest possible temperature would, under such conditions, become as hard as a diamond. Hence it seems proba- ble that, far from there being a vacuum at the center of the earth, there is a mass of intensely solidified matter there. How Electficity Fools Plants. That electric lights completely fool plant life has been proved. A certain nurseryman who has an immense tract of land covered with greenhouses and hotbeds stumbled upon this fact in a curious way. He had noticed that all the bushes and plants which he had placed on the north side of his house did not thrive nearly so well as those on the south side, where they had sun all day long. One day an electric light- ing company put up a great arc light on the street corner at the north of his house. Result: In less than a year's time the plants on the north side be- came more luxuriant in growth than those on the south side. The nursery- man, taking the hint, had a series of arc lights installed in all of his green- houses and with great success. As an example of how useful this scheme may be: Last year Easter came rather early, and'this man's stoc of lilies was rather backward in budding, so he put in their greenhouse a double row of arc lights, keeping them burning all night, and so forced the growth that he had his plants ready for market ahead of many of his competitors. Fireproof Cloth. No elaborate statistics are necessary to prove that many fires might be pre- vented if carpets, curtains, draperies and clothing were noncombustible. This is precisely what a firm of Ger- main manufacturers proposes to bring about. After several years of experi- menting they announce the discovery of a chemical treatment that will ren- der any fabric of cotton, linen, wool or fiber fireproof. The process is cheap and adds but little to the weight of the article treated. It may readily be seen that this discovery will be valuable for securing the better safety of hotels by treating carpets, curtains and Inside woodwork; of advantage for cover- ings of explosives, and in a multitude of other ways. It is not improbable a way may be found to make it water- proof. In any event it must be regard- ed as an important achievement and as opening a prospect for the greater se- curity of property.

United States Consul A. M. Thackara writes from Havre that an Italian gen- tleman, Baron Benvenuto d'Alessan- dro, living in Paris, has invented a new method of protecting vessels at sea, en- trances to harbors, lighthouses, etc., from the force of waves and surf which he claims is more efficient than the use of oil. His invention consists in retaining on the surface of the water an unsub- mergible floating net by means of out- riggers when used to protect vessels in storms at sea, and by attaching It to buoys when used to protect light- houses, hydraulic works in construc- tion, entrances to harbors, etc. He bases the idea of his invention up- on the principle that in covering the surface of the sea with a thin, flexible, light and floating body of whatever na- ture the part covered forms a crust un- der which the molecules of the impris- oned mass of water cannot move in the same manner as the surrounding body of uncovered water, the result being that even the most violent waves upon reaching the edge of the crust, instead of climbing over it, of breaking or of destroying it, will pass under it as If there were a fall or difference of level, become flattened out and lose much of their force. The net used In recent experiments at Havre was made of a thin hemp fiber knitted In square meshes of four centimeters (1.57 inches) and afterward a 1. Rats on a Wreck. A correspondent of the Newcastle Chronicle describes a striking scene witnessed at the breaking up of the vessel Gothenburg City on St. Mary's island, off the coast of Northumber- land. The vessel might have been sailing comfortably out of harbor for aught that appeared except that there was no sign of life on board. We had no sooner put foot on deck, however, than we were furiously attacked by swarms of rats. Great, hungry, lank, lean looking rats, many of them with their tails chewed off, swarmed up from below in hundreds and thousands, squeaking and squirming over each other to a manner sickening and horrible to be- hold. Those of us who had stepped on deck ran to the rigging, while the others scrambled hurriedly back into the coat Our position in the rfggiug was clan gerous in the extreme. It was more than one's life was worth to attempt to run the gantlet of those fierce, starv- ing rodents, and to remain in the rig- ging was equally impracticable. At last we cut off some loose ropes, knotted them into convenient lengths and, so armed, descended and fought our way through the squealing hordes and eventually succeeded in beating a passage to the boat. It seemed as if the rats knew the im- pending fate of the vessel, for they no sooner saw us over the side than they began to swarm down the ropes and try to enter the boat. It was with diffi- culty that we could beat them off be- fore casting clear. And they squeaked in a horrible manner as we rowed away. A few hours later the Gothenburg City went to pieces. Mollified. The head of the household was late getting home. He was very late. It was long past midnight. Indeed the little clock on the hall_ mantel had just struck 3 o'clock when he came walking in. He :,ad been out with the boys, and his wife reproached him. "Why, it's early yet. It's not late." Just then the clock sounded one, two, three. The wife looked at him with grim rebuke. He caught h, r eye and jerked out this reply: "Well, now, if you want to believe that darned $1.50 clock before your dear husband, it's all right." It was a similar occasion, only more so. At this time he was a little drunk- er than usual. His step was unsteady, but he had not lost his courteous man - n° ners. She met him at the front, weep- ing reproachfully. "Oh, John," she pleaded, "what makes you do this way?" "You are—hic—so awfully pretty— hie," he said, making an extravagant bow and kissing her, "that I like to— hic—to see you double." And she put him tenderly to bed, bathed his forehead the next morning and forgot about the scolding she had fully determined to administer is him. —Missouri Excelsior. e• BARON D'ALESSA\DRO'S NET. waterproofed by the application of a solution of powdered cork and pure rubber. The material of the finished net was three millimeters (0.12 inch) iu thickness and weight, weighing only 120 grams (41A, ounces avoirdupois) per square meter (10.76 square feet). It was constructed by the Societe Indus- trielle de Telephones at Paris. The net was 110 meters (360.9 feet) long and 15 meters (49.2 feet) wide, made In four sections securely fastened together. The outside sections were five meters (16.4 feet) wide throughout the whole length of the net. The mid- dle sections were also five meters (16.4 feet) wide, but extended only ten me- ters (82.8 feet) from either end, leaving an open space in the center of the net 90 meters (295.27 feet) long and five meters (16.4 feet) wide. The inventor's reason for constructing the net with an open space in the center is that in his numerous experiments with the net made In this way when used for the protection of entrances to harbors, etc., he found the surface of the water in- closed in the free spaces to be always calm, as if it were actually covered by the net. The net with the open space is only used when it is anchored. For the protection of vessels at sea the net is made solid. The accompanying sketch shows the dimensions of the net and the arrange- ment of the buoys by which it was held in position. Wax Removed From Plant Lice. Many aphides and coccids are cover- ed with a waxy secretion that inter- feres very materially with their easy examination. To remove this waxy secretion place the insect on a piece of platinum foil and pass It once over the flame of the alcohol lamp. The wax melts at a surprisingly low tem- perature and leaves the insect perfect- ly clean for study. This method is particularly useful in the removal of the waxy cocoon of the pupae of male coccidee and is quicker and more thor- ough than the use of any of the chem- ical wax solvents that have been sug- gested.—Knowledge.

Why speak of the lovely painted tril- liums, with their three daintily crin- kled petals, streaked with rose purple? says Bradford Torrey in The Atlantic. One after another I gathered them (pulled them, to speak with poetic lit- eralness), each fresher and handsomer than the one before it till the white stems made a handful.

He was look- ing at the trilliums and explained, in answer to a question. that he had al- ways heard them called nosebleed. Somewhere, then -1 omitted to inquire where—this is their "vulgar" name. In Franconia the people call them Benja- mins, which has a pleasant Biblical sound—better than nosebleed, at all events—though, to my thinking, tril- lium is preferable to either of them both for sound and for sense. The Traces of the Beasts. On every side in the Malay wilds the traces of the beasts—which here live as secluded, as safe from molestation, as did their ancestors in pre-Adamite days—are visible on tree trunk, on beaten game path and on the yielding clay at the drinking places by the hur- rying stream. Here a belt of mud nine feet from the ground shows that an elephant has rubbed his itching back against the rough bark of a tree, and, see, coarse hairs are still sticking in the hardened clay. There a long sharp scratch repeated at regular intervals marks the passing of a rhinoceros. Here again is the pad mark of a tiger, barely an hour old, and the pitted tracks of deer of all sizes and varieties sur- round the deeply punched holes which are the footsteps of an elephant.— Blackwood's.

There were three fatalities during the storm which passed over St. Paul last Sunday evening. Patrick Sex- ton, a wholesale dealer in cigars, was killed by a section of sidewalk while riding in a buggy, Miss Fannie Mul- len, who was kneeling at the altar at St. Luke's Church, and Michael Lang, a farmer on the Stillwater road, while sitting on his porch. The two lat- ter deaths were caused by lightning. The Dansville (N. Y.) Advertiser, is booming the nomination of Col. J. L. Torrey, of Missouri, the original Rough Rider, as a candidate for vice president on the republican national ticket.

Mead, formerly first lieutenant and battalion adjutant of the Thirteenth Regiment, took place last evening at the new home of the young couple, 462 Iglehart Street. The rooms were decorated with smilax and carnations. Dr. Meldrum, of the Central Presby- terian Church, read the service, which was witnessed by about twenty-five guests, relatives and close friends of the bride and groom. The bride was gowned in white organdie, trimmed with valenciennes lace, and carried a bunch of bride roses. Mr. and Mrs. Mead will be at home after June 1st. -St. Paul Globe, 17th. - Heatwole will have no opposition 'and prove in the fall election strong- er that he did any previous canvass. His party by reason of his own efforts is better organized for effective work than at any time in the history of the district. The discharge of his duties during his present term has been more than usually acceptable to his constituents. The opposition to him never was of much strength, and has melted away as the .time approaches to select his successor. -St. Paul Review. Mrs. Frank Haines, who lives on the south side, drove off a snake that had attacked a brood of young chick- ens. The mother hen had kept the snake off for some time before Mrs. Haines noticed the trouble, and as a result of her brave fight for her chicks the hen died an hour later. -Winona Republican. R. C.

The Flora Clark Burned. The steamer Flora Clark was burn- ed at Stillwater Thursday, about half past three a. m., evidently the work of an incendiary. The boat had just been repaired, being placed in the water the previous evening. As the hull sank the damage to the machin- ery is not yet ascertained. The loss is estimated at $8,000, with no in- surance. Capt. Libbey had twenty- two excursions already booked for this summer. Richard Dale, engi- neer, Nicholas Henkes, fireman, and a painter had a narrow escape, jump- ing from the burning boat into the water. The enginer lost his clothes, a check of $200, and a gold watch. The following delegates and alter- nates to the national convention were elected by acclamation: DELEGATES. C. K. Davis, St. Paul. Knute Nelson, Alexandria. Thomas Lowry, Minneapolis. Samuel Lord, Hasson. ALTERNATES. Kenneth Clark, St. Paul. J. F. Wheaton, Minneapolis. D. N. Tallman, Willmar. W. W. Sivright, Hutobinson. The electoral ticket is composed of the following, the first two being at large, the others from congressional districts in numerical order: W. E. Lee, Long Prairie. J. L. Gessell, Heron Lake. Edwin Dunn, Eyota. J. C. Donovan, Tracy. O. K. Naeseth, Aspelund. Dr. Carl Wirth, St. Paul. J. S. Dodge. Minneapolis. G. A. Whitney, Wadena. H. W. Stone. Benson. A resolution presenting the name of W. D. Washburn, of Minneapolis, as a candidate for vice president was adopted as follows: We view with pride and gratification the advancement of the nation, and par- ticularly the magnificent growth and prosperity of the great west. which has become the centre of population and political supremacy. The propriety and justice of recognizing this section in the formation of any ticket claiming to be national is universally conceded. In view of these facts we present as a fitting Candidate for vice president the name of our distinguished fellow citizen, the Hon. W. D. Washburn. His Life long interest in and devotion to the principles of the republican party, his eminent public services, large experi- ence. and high character qualify him particularly for this great office, while his earnest championship of the rights of the people against the encroachments and greed of powerful and selfish com- binations commend him to the earnest support of the American people. Should the situation warrant the delegation from this state in so doing we recommend that they present his name to the national convention as a candidate for such office. The committee on resolutions pre- sented the following platform, which was adopted: We, the republicans of the state of Minnesota, in convention assembled, af- firm and renew our allegiance to the re- publican party and its principles, We indorse the administration of Presi- dent William McKinley and the republi- can party, and congratulate the country on the revival of industrial and commer- cial prosperity brought about as a. direct result of the application of republican principles and policies of government dur- ing ther p esentadministr,itirnl. We declare that all classes of our peo- ple have enjoyed under the present ad- ministration it higher state of prosperity and happiness than ever before in our national history, and we congratulate the republican party on the prompt and com- plete fulfillment of its pledges made to the people in 1896. The republican party is proud of the fact that it has written the gold stndard into the law of the land, and th t its sound financial policy has contrib,ttted largely to the greatest prosperity the American people have ever known, and has raised the credit of the American government to the highest point ever at- tain.dbv any nation. on. The republican b Icon party stands for money laws that1' benefit alle p opie alike, the borrower as well as the lender, laws that tend to reduce and equalize interest rates in all parts of the country for the benefit of our producers, the farmer, the laborer, the manufacturer, and the merchant. To this end we favor a flexible currency that will respond to the needs of commerce and industry. The -republican party recognizes that legitimate business, fairly capitalized and honestly managed, has built up our industries atthe , ome h givenlargest em- ployment to labor and highest wages, and enabled us successfully to compete with foreign countries in the markets of the world. But the republican party now, as always, is unalterably opposed to all trusts and combinations having for their purpose the stifling of competition and arbitrarily controlling production or fix- ing prices. Among ether remedies we favol legis- lation providing for the utmost publicity as to the internal affairs of this class of corporations, and we favor an amend- ment to the constitution of the United States. granting full power to congress to protect the people against the evils threatened. We hereby declare our implicit confi- dence in President William McKinley and the republican party to meet and solve the questions now before the coun- try, growing out of our war with Spain, to the entire satisfaction of the American people, and with justice and humanity to the people of the islands that came under our control because of that war. We declare that never before in the history of our nation has the flag of our country and the rights which it guaran- tees to our citizens been respected and recognized throughout the world, as un- der the present administration. We declare for liberal legislation for the national defense, for the building of our navy, for the enlargement of our foreign markets, for the employment of the American workmen in our mines, forests, farms, mills, factories, and ship- yards. We hereby express our appreciation of the distinguished services rendered to the nation and state by both our United States senators, C. K. Davis and Knute Nelson, and we are proud of the fact that they have reflected credit on the state and the republican party, and we heartily recommend the re-election of the jion. Knute Nelson to succeed himself as United States senator, and pledge him our loyal support. We hereby declare we are in favor of the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people of each state, and call upon our representatives in both houses of congress to support the prop- osition. We declare that we hold in the highest esteem the ability and seryices of all our congressmen who have so ably sapresent- ed our state in the flfty-sixth congress, and recommend the re-election of the full delegation, and to that end pledge them our loyal and hearty support.

Will you kindly publish this letter to the public of Hastings? Referring to the remarks in The Dispatch of a few days ago, on my sulk for a di- vorce, I wish to say that the case was tried in chambers, the public being absolutely excluded, and everything had been done to prevent a public scandal, but it seems there existed some sneak in the guise and garb of a reporter waiting outside, whom one would judge from the tone and char- acter of the slanderous and rotten piece written, had been some time be- fore jilted, and having had extinguish ed, shortly atter birth, the only spark of manhood in him and being weak- minded and incapable of picking up a little self respect, decency, and sense somewhere on his road in life, seems to have chosen that way of getting even with the sex, one of which doubtless softened his cerebral contents known in other people as a brain. He gleaned a few facts from the court records, and out of his corrupt, degenerated, vindictive, and jealous racked cranium fabricated the re- maining portion of the article. It was a gross, unmanly, brutal attack upon one who little deserved it, and could not have been written inneli less published by gentlemen. Might is not right as The Dispatch seems to infer, and I believe we both have friends who do not nor will not ap- prove of a paper which delights in publishing that class of literature, even going so low as to draw on their imaginations to snake it as sensational as possible. Trusting that all will do justice to us both, I remain very truly, A. G. PHELPS. The Third District, The following resolutions were adopted at the republican congres- sional conventiou held at Olivia on Tuesday: We, the republicans of the third con- gressional district of Minnesota, in con- vention assembled, hereby most heartily endorse the splendid administration of President McKinley and a republican congress in giving prosperity to our whole country; in establishing a sound system of finance; in the successful con- duct of our war with Spain, and in the growth of our territory and the conse- quent maintenance of the American flag Wherever established. We especially commend the conduct of President McKinley in tendering his friendly offices of meditation in the de- plorable war between Great Britain and the South Africkn _apublics,' and trust that such conflict may soon be ended and the iudependence of said republics be preserved We commend the valor and bravery of our army and navy and express our sincere appreciation of their work. We favor such reduction of the war revenue taxes as wit relieve the greatest number of people. We also favor and strongly urge the enactment of stringent laws that will re- lieve the people from burdens imposed by trusts. We appreciate in the highest degree the conduct and sereices of our represen- tative in congress. Joel P. Heatwole, and commend 'him for his integrity, untiring efforts, and energy shown in behalf of his district.

Was married to Miss Laving Rice, of this city, May 16th, 1881, making their home in Duluth until July, 1897, when they returned to Hast- ings. After a long and painful illness Mrs. Liddle died Mar. 4th in chris- tian hope and peace. About four weeks ago Mr. Liddle went west, where he survived his wife but two months and six clays, leaving their son Harold, aged four years, bereft of both parents. Besides his aged father there are three brothers and three sisters, Mrs. Sarah R. Burt, Clark M., - Mrs. Clara Cobb, and Fletcher T., of this city, Eddie S., of Portland, Or., and Mrs. Minnie Martin, of Vermont. At the age of fifteen Harry joined the Methodist Church, but after his marriage he and his wife united with the Presby- terians, living an exemplary christian life. In his family he was especially kind and devoted, and he leaves an excellent reputation as a legacy to his bereaved relatives.

Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Dis- covery for consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefitted from first dose. She continues] its use and after taking six bottles, found herself sound and well; now does her own housework, and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this Great Dis- covery at S. B. Rude's Drug Store. Only 50 cents and $1.00, every bottle guaran- teed. In Memoriam. At a meetiug of the session of the Presbyterian Church on Monday even- ing, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, Our heavenly father, in whom we, having implicit faith. believe "Ne doeth all things well," has sent forth his summons, calling our esteemed broth- er and co-worker for Christ from the church militant to the church trium- phant. and WHEREAS, In the death of brother Harry G. Liddle this church has lost an honored member and a ruling elder, whose counsel and aid will be missed by all, therefore be it Resolved, That, while we deeply regret that he should have been away from home and kindred when "called up higher," yet his faith was unwavering and his trust is "the friend that eticketh closer than a brother" supported his steps "down the valley," feeling assured he should rise again in his likeness. Be it further Resolved, That our sincere sympathy is hereby tendered to the aged father, relatives, and members of the family of the deceased, and to his orphan son we will ever maintain a christian watchful- ness, commending him to our heavenly father for comfort and guidance.

Everything's in the baby's way Whenever she wants to run and play; It's either a chair, a table or door Or clutter all ver the playroom floor. When she staffs to run, she gets a bump. And we have to kiss her forehead plump And start her off with a smile to play And clear things out of the baby's way. Everything's in the baby's way, She wants her do, and she wants her say; She wants to do the t :.'.ga which are wrongs And her will each day It grows more strong, And we try so gently to guide her right And ask the Father of all for light; But to her who wants her do and say Everything seems in the baby's way. Everything's in the baby's way From morning till night, ma babies say, And so theyare cross and fretful, too, And do the things they oughtn't to do, And their ways are not our ways at all, And so they must cry and scold and fall, But we turn a hundred times a day And smile because it is baby's "way." —Joe Cone in National Magazine. gortostealtolltostoaltttostoltottostostog tt ONE OF THE o CITY'S OWN 71 pHow a Young Man Cams to Go to o i the South African War. R 0110 eoi1o9Roito313tOMOMOMOMOMO:I "Mr. Redbolt is to go to the governo at once." Mr. Redbolt strode briskly across the room. A moment later he was in the private office. Young Mr. Dewhurst, who had ma aged the business since the death o his father, gave him a furtive look a he entered and then turned hurriedi to a bundle of correspondence by hi side and selected a letter with an al of malicious satisfaction. The ball was opened by Mr. Dew burst uufolding a cantankerous com plaint from an unimportant customs It was the merest trifle and quite un worthy of the occasion. Nevertheles Joe Redbolt was by no means surpris- ed at the tone adopted. For some time past the smallest opportunities had been seized for fault finding, and be knew by instinct that the climax had been reached. "How do you account for this blun• der?" asked Mr. Dewhurst suspicious- ly. His clerk gave a simple, straightfor- ward explanation, which, to a leasoua- ble man, would have been sufficient. But Mr. Dewhurst was not in a rea- sonable humor. "It appears to me, then, that you are not in any way to blame, Mr. Redbolt," he said cynically. "I think not." "You never make a mistake?" "Not very often." 'Who is to blame, then?" There was a moment's silence, and the twomen looked into one another's eyes. "You are, sir," said Redbolt respect- fully. "I acted under your instruc- tions." This appeared to give the unworthy little tyrant his opportunity. "You are more than half imperti- nent," he said roughly. "I give you my word that I don't in- tend to be so," said Redbolt, with per- fect good temper. "Perhaps not, but I'm tired of it. You forget your proper position and have crossed my will in several ways." Mr. Redbolt colored rather painfully, and his principal continued, with a smile of spiteful triumph:. "You understand what I allude to?" The clerk bowed slightly. "Then I think you had better look about for another situation." "Shall we calculate the month from last Monday?" inquired Joe Redbolt in a Oerfectly eyen, matter of fact voice." "Ell—yes," said Mr. Dewhurst, "But I won't ask you to continue your work here." With that he pushed across the table a little pile of coins which had been counted out already, clearly showing that be intended from the first to make use of the opportunity. For the first time Joe Redbolt looked angry. It was adding insult to injury to send him away at a moment's no- tice, as if he bad disgraced himself. It was the more outrageous because he was a distant relation of the Dew - bursts by blood. The two young men had been for a short time at school together. They had entered the firm together, and Redbolt had worked his way up by sheer ability under old Mr. Dewburst's eye to a responsible posi- tion. Naturally they knew the same people and to some extent visited the same houses, and it was in this way that Dewhurst's inherent jealousy had rip- ened into positive rancor, for that there was a member of the fair sex at the bottom of it is almost obvious. The innocent cause of the trouble, little dreaming of the mischief she was creating, had thoroughly enjoyed the rivalry of the two men, as every daughter of Eve is bound to do, and she had not made it quite clear which of them was to be favored, which is certainly a woman's privilege. But Joe Redbolt was generally be- lieved to be the lucky man, and Dew - burst had vented his unmanly spite by a thousand annoyances in the office. However, in love, as in war, it is the unexpected that often happens. Joe Redbolt proposed and was refused point blank. Now, most men, when they see a dan- gerous rival put out of court, bury their animosity and even become gen- erous. But this was not the case with Fred Dewhurst. Petty annoyances develop- ed rapidly into daily insults until the morning, as we have seen, he had found an excuse to cut his former schoolfellow adrift. Joe Redbolt picked up the pile of eoins, counted them deliberately and put them In his pocket. "Now, Fred Dewhurst," he said huskily, "we are no longer master and man, so that I can say what I think." Dewhurst looked rather alarmed and drew a small silver bell near to his side. "Olt, don't be frightened," said Joe, with a smile of amusement. "I'm not going to thrash you! It wouldn't he fair to hit a man of your size!" Mr. Dewhurst tried to sneer, but only looked mightily relieved. "I want to tell you what I think of you," said Joe. "Go on," said Dewhurst, with a grin. "Seeing that you've had the worst of n - f s y s r r. s that pleasant frame of mind when a man firmly believes that there Is no- body to grieve over him and finds a morbid pleasure in the prospect of a soldier's grave. Most of us getthese attacks of de- spondency some time in our lives, and, to -tell the truth, it lasted a very short time with Joe Redbolt. After a few lays of hard drill he had lost MO of the possibility of getting killoce _and was looking forward to making things as unpleasant as possible for the ene- my. At last the final moment came. He had attended the services at St. Paul's and sung the national anthem until he was hoarse. He had been slapped on the back by hundreds of warm hearted but heavy handed citizens. He had even fought his way successfully through a mob of enthusiastic patriots all the way from Bunhill row to Nine Elms, where be was one of the first to arrive. There stood the train waiting to take them to Southampton. There, too, stood the long suffering band; and every minute groups of breathless, ex- cited men in khaki, who had also fought their way through the crowd. rushed on to the platform. Of course it was all over. There was nothing ,to be done but get into the train and say goodby to old London for months—perhaps forever. Once more a gloomy sense of loneliness came upon him. Everybody else had a chum or a relative to see him off. And then— an angel came from heaven? Not quite. But an earthly angel appeared in the shape of a slight form in a long, black cloak, who was pushing her way feverishly through the crowd, Vey scanning the faces of all the "g6nntle- men in khaki." Then their eyes met, and in a minute he was clasping in his arms the girl who bad refused him a month before and in whose presence he bad always been so shy that be had never yet dared to press her hand. How had it happened? There seemed no need, and certainly no time, for ex- planations. Why had he accepted her foolish "no" when she never meant him to? She always thought he would speak to her again. Why had he been so awkward and brusque in the way he had asked her? He had given her no chance to say "yes." And it was only last night she had learned what had happened—from Dewhurst's own lips—and she had cried all night at the mischief she had done, and would he forgive her? And did be still care for her a little bit? "Take your seats, there!" roared an officer. It was not the time for mock Mod- esty. With ler arms around his neck find tear stained cheeks pressed to his. she promised to wait for him. "God bless you!" he whispered. "And bring you back to me," she an - it all through, I suppose 1 mustn't mind a few spiteful words!" "I want to tell you that you're the meanest cad I've met, and if that poor girl marries you I'm sorry for her!" "In fact, you're so sorry," said Dew - burst, "that you'd even marry her yourself. Capital! And, now you've said enough, I'll wish you good morn- ing." Wltll a mlgnty eorl: o straint, Joe pulled himself together, and, resisting the impulse to knock him down, swung out of the room. He had lost everything—the girl he loved and the means of earning his living. He was alone in the world, with no prospect but that of commenc- ing life again in some counting house, and— Then suddenly he remembered. Only two nights before he had attend- ed drill at the headquarters of his vol- unteer corps. The men had been ask- ed which of them wished to join the C. I. V. for the front. He thought of the glow that had burned through his veins, how he had longed to offer him- self and had only been prevented by his feeling of obligation to his old friend's business. Now he was free! That settled it. Old England was in need of help from men such as he. He was as sound as a bell in wind and limb. He had done his turn at volun- teering and could shoot more than a little. Within half an hour his name was entered as one of those who were ready for service at the front, and he was or- dered to go before the doctor. That gentleman laughed at him. "If we get 1,400 men as fit as you are," he said, "we shall do well!" Having successfully passed all th tests and been duly enrolled as one o the City of London Imperial voluntee corps, he felt slightly easter in hi mind.

Mr. Lincoln used to take great de- light in telling how he gained a knife by his ugly looks. That has been pub- lished, but I have not seen another in print telling iipw he gained his wifa. Mrs. Lincoln was a beautiful lady, at- tractive, sharp, witty and relished a Joke even at her own expense. She was staying ,with her sister, Mrs. Ed- wards. She bad not been there long before --everybody knew Miss Mary Todd. She often said: "When a girl, I thought I would not marry until I could get one of the handsomest men in the country, but since I became a woman I learned I can't get such a man, which has caused me to change my mind. I have concluded now to marry the ugliest looking man I can find." Later on Lincoln came to town. She had never seen him before she met him on the street. She was told who he was and went home and told her sister she had seen her man, "the ugli- est man I ever saw, Abraham Lin- coln, and I am going to set my cap for him." That became a common saying In street gossip. When they were mar- ried, instead of taking a bridal trip, they went to the Globe hotel, owned by the writer and occupied by a tenant. They took board at $4 a week. When he got able, he bought a lot for $200 and built a four room house costing less than $1,000.

And then, with cheers and whistles and the band playing "God Save the Queen" and men shouting and laugh- ing and crying, the train moved out, and the City's Own was en route for the front.—Answers. Notes From The Jewelers' Circular. Enamel in baby blue forms the flat top of a gold mesh purse, and on it is carried out a simple design in tracery of brilliants A Greek border pattern in pearls is the decidedly elegant decoration of some new shell side combs. In fine jewelry there appears a strong fancy for setting the ruby and the dia- mond together. Brooches which have the semblance, of roughly hammered gold into which are sunk various colored stones repre- sent one of the novelties. Gold bracelets are studded across the top with turquoises graduated from one large stone in the center to small ones at either end. Newest flat framed leather purses are very long, perhaps six inches, and quite as narrow as utility would seem to admit. Cabochon setting of the ruby, sap- phire and emerald is the latest depar- ture in fine rings. Holding "His Job.

He visits New York twice a year and has long since learned to find his way about. He was charging about in the busi- ness district and suddenly remembered that he wanted to telegraph to a friend whose offices are at 195 Broadway. The Californian dashed into the near- est telegraph office, wrote out his dis- patch and, covering it with the coin, passed it through the wicket to the receiver. The receiver smiled. "What is the matter?" demanded the Californian. "Why, this is 195 Broadwav," said the receiver, "and your man is up just one flight of stairs." There was a confused period that lasted about a second, and when the Californian got his nerve back he calm- ly said: "I know that. Let it go any- way. I guess I can telegraph across the room or this counter if I want to and have the money. We do that thing out in California every day for a joke." The receiver may have been bluffed, but as receivers go they are hard to impress.—San Francisco Chronicle. Easily Managed, House Hunter—But are you sure that the cellar is perfectly dry?

Real Estate Dealer—Come to think of it, it was that other house on the other side of the street that has the dry cellar. The cellar in this house is never free from water.

The late Senator Sawyer of Wiscon- sin was a very generous giver -of char- ity and of presents, which neither he nor the beneficiary would have cared to denominate as charity, though the gifts amounted to much the same. He told a friend one day that he was going to turn over a new leaf and try to keep his donations down to a limit that would not exceed $1,000 a mpnth. Three months after be had announced this resolution his friend asked how he had made out. "I started out pretty well," he re- plied, "and if I hadn't given an old friend of mine in Wisconsin who had Struck hard luck $10,0.00 last month 1 think I should have kept within the limit."—Philadelphia Bulletin.

It only makes misera- ble people more miserable. - The fact that others cut and slash you is no ex- cuse for adopting their mistaken poli- cy.

The supposition that a sapphire should be dark blue is possibly responsible for the slowness of their acceptance in the market, but as a matter of fact sap- phires are not of necessity blue; they are green, yellow, purple, white, and when they are red we call them rubies, for the ruby and sapphire are identical- ly the same, save for a fraction of a per cent of coloring matter.—Brooklyn Eagle.

Egyptian Chloken Factories, In his volume on "Present Day Egypt" Frederick Penfield thus de- scribes one of the interesting sights in the neighborhood of the pyramids, the incubators in the native villages. "It will be found," he says, "that the Incubator is constructed of sun dried bricks and so arranged internally that the eggs, placed in mud constructed ovens on trays cushioned with cut straw, are constantly under the at- tendant's view. No scientific apparatus is employed by this man, not even a thermometer. He knows from experi- ence and his own feeling how much heat is needed, and he systematically turns the eggs several times each day until they are developed into peeping chicks "These hatching establishments exist throughout middle and upper Egypt and in a season bring fully 20,000,000 chickens into the world that grow up to be scrawny, unattractive fowls. The industry is thousands of 'years old and seems conclusively to settle the ques- tion of a chicken's maternity by allo- cating that parentage to the hen laying the egg. "The incubator is a foster mother only and is responsible for stifling the 'setting' instinct with Egyptian hens. The keepers of the incubators have a system of traffic with peasant farmers by which eggs are purchased outright or six live chicks given -in exchange for a dozen fresh eggs." Death to the Workmen. It was in an art store in Fifth ave- nue, and the dealer was showing gild- ed clocks and candelabra to a cus- tomer. Pointing to one particularly handsome set, he said, "That is worth $350," Pointing to another of similar pattern, but not so handsome, he said. "That Is worth $600." "But the other one Is better," said the customer. "Well," said the dealer, "the chief value of this one (pointing to the *G00 affair) is in the gilding. It was gilded by the mercury process which is now forbidden by law almost everywhere. The other one was treated with the electroplating process." "Well, it's handsomer," said the cus- tomer. "Is it as durable? If 1t is, why should I pay $250 more?" "It is practically as durable, and it is handsomer," said the dealer. "But you can duplicate it, and you can't duplI- cate the other. The mercury process of gilding Was death to the workmen who engaged in it. They 'inhaled the fumes of the mercury, and in the end it killed them, and it wasn't long do- ing it, either." "I'll take the mercury one," said the 'ustomer, "but the other is handsom- er."—New York Sun. The Cossaeks of the Don. The Don Cossacks are the finest look- ing race of men ever seen. Kingly in their carriage, tall and slender, lithe and graceful, their untamed spirit visi- ble in every motion, their bearing is that of an unconquered people. Used as a living barrier against the Tartar invasions of Russia, they were never conquered. Living in what they eall camps, each with his horse and gun, they are always ready to move in re- sponse to the emperor's call. Their costume is a long, tight fitting coat reaching to the knee, having loose sleeves and a email, standing collar and with a row of ammunition pockets across the breast- The colored belt which encircles the Cossack's slender waist bristles with ornamented knives, daggers and pistols. Soft, high boots without heels and a great lamb's wool cap, with a little touch of color for the soft crown, and then the burka or long cape of hairy felt which they seem to wear In all sorts of weather com- plete the costume. These burkas ap- pear to be worn on the theory that what keeps out the cold keeps out the heat. Anyway, these long black or white garments protect horse and rider equally from the rain and cold.—Self Culture. His One Suggestion. "Furthermore, John Henry Meeker," said Mrs. Meeker, who was standing in front of the mirror and putting the finishing touches to her toilet, "I want you to take notice that I am perfectly capable of getting ready for church without any prompting from you, and you can cough and look at your watch as much as you please—it won't hurry. me a single second. Do you clearly un- derstand that?" "Yes, my dear," mildly replied Mr. Meeker, "though I think I could un- derstand it a little better if you didn't have your mouth quite so full of hair- pins."—Chicago Tribune. A Probable Result.

About two yeatrs before Mr. Sawyer retired from the senate his mail one morning contained a touching letter from a man In Maryland whose home had just been brightened by the ar- rival of a bouncing boy. The fond parent went on to tell that the- boy would be named Philetus Sawyer Jones and expressed the hope that the child would grow up an honor to the name and the possessor of the fine traits of character that distinguished the generous hearted man whose name would be borne by himself. Senator Sawyer went to the senate chamber with a warm glow in his heart and the determination to send that fond parent a nice big check. He felt so good that he showed the letter to Senator Allison- The Iowa man chuckled as he read it and produced a Metter almost identical, except that the young prodigy was to be named Wil- liam Allison Jones.

The editor of Life and Beauty, a British organ on hygiene and diet, suc- ceeded in eliciting from a few popular writers replies on the subject of diet which UM?. find most conducive to good work. Hall Caine wrote: "1 am afraid I have no theories on the subject of diet. If I knew anything that would be worth telling, I would avail myself of its advantages, being a constant mar- tyr to all the troubles that attend diet." Mr. Zangwill's answer was brief and epigrammatic, "Unfortunately I have never eaten to work, but always work- ed to eat." "John Oliver Hobbes" confessed that she "tried vegetarianism for two years, but now finds that, on the whole, the ordinary diet of the country is the best." Mme. Sarah Grand said she never drank milk. "I never forget the hor- rible cow," she added in explanation. Marie Corelli answered characteris- tically with a quotation from "Ham- let:" "I eat the air, promise crammed. You cannot feed capons so." Took It away From the Jury. There are any number of stories to be printed about Judge Caldwell, but here is one that is said to be typical: He was hearing an argument whereby an attorney for an insurance company was attempting to evade payment of insurance on a purely technical ground. Judge Caldwell interrupted him. "Let me understand you, Brother Todd," Ile Bald to the attorney. "The policy was issued?" "Yes," was the reply. "And the premiums were paid?" "Yes." "And it was not set on fire?" "No." "Brother Todd," said Judge Cald- well, "you can sit down. The jury will return a verdict for the plaintiff." --Indianapolis Sun, Peculiarity of Snakes. A snake tamer who had trained a serpent to follow him around the house and even out of doors happened one day to take It with him to a strange place. The snake, unused to the local- ity, suddenly seemed to forget all his training and, escaping into the bushes, resisted capture with bites and every Indication of wildness. When caught, It at once resumed its tame habits. This tendency to become wild imme- diately upon obtaining their freedom and to again become tame when caught is said to be a peculiarity of snakes.— New York Tribune. The Probable Reason.

Pea : , the arctic . explorer, was boru in Maine. IIe pre- pared himself for entering Bowdoiu college at Fryeburg academy in Frye - burg, in the western part of the state. The foli4wing story of Peary's early days shows his method of overcoming obstacles: ,f One of his fellow townsmen while out hunting one day in November dis- covered a flock of ducks in a pond about two miles from the village. The man wanted the birds, but knew no way of getting them, even if his shot were effective, for be had no dog, and there was no boat in the pond. On his way home he met Peary and told him about the ducks and why he had not fired at them. "Now," said Peary, "let's go back to the pond, and if the ducks are still there I promise to retrieve all you kill." They returned to the pond; the ducks were undisturbed. The weather had been cold for several days, lee had formed around the shore of the pond, and the ducks were bunched out in open water, but within range. Merrill fired and killed two. Without more - ado than if he were about to take a dip in the old swimming hole on a hot July day Peary removed his clothing, broke the ice with a heavy stick and swam out, picked up the dead birds and brought them to land.—Saturday Evening Post. The Sign Painters. The question has been asked of sign painters hundreds of times, "Which letter of the alphabet do you consider the hardest or most difficult to make?" It is but natural to make the in- quiry, for to the novice some particu- lar letters are more perplexing than others. It is most generally conceded by some experts that the Roman capi- tal letter "R" is the most difficult. Others will say that an "S" Is very hard to make, and many strongly con- tend that ;the character "&" is the hardest and most difficult of any in the entire alphabet. Practically speak- ing, all of these letters are somewhat difficult, and to the young beginner they are not easily mastered. It has frequently been supposed that an artist *of ability on account of his great talent in tifsawing would of course naturally make a good sign painter, but the experiment has been tried and given up with unsatisfactory results. An artist may draw and paint a most beautiful picture, but when it comes to forming a perfect letter he is entirely out of the race. About 47 years ago there were five well known artists of this city who were also ex- perts at lettering, they having learned and worked at this branch prel}!ously. —New York Times. Venice Without Water. Venice without water would hardly be Venice at all,. but we are assured there is a possibility that the pictur- esque Venice of today may become a city of the past, and eventually Venice may be waterless. According to Professor Marinelli, the regular increase in the delta of the river Po is such that in process of time the northern Adriatic will be dry, and Venice will no more be upon the sea. The annual surveys show that the mean annual increase of the delta during 70 years has been three -tenths of a square mile. An encroachment upon the sea of three -tenths of a mile in a year means a large increase in a century. It ap- pears that the total increase in -six centuries has been about 198 square miles. The increase is continuing, and the gulf of Venice is doomed to dis- appear. No immediate alarm need be felt, and it will not be necessary to hurry off to Venice to take a farewell look at the city in its present picturesqueness. Professor Marinelli calculates that be- tween 100 and 120 centuries will elapse before the entire northern Adriatic will have become dry land.—Youth's Com- panion. The Kind He Bought.

HASTINGS, MINN., SATURDAY. MAY 26 1900. '•O. O. 0000.0000 0 0000• THE SUN'S ECLIPSE 1 LINE OF TOTALITY FROM NEW ORLEANS TO NORFOLK AND CAPE HENRY. The total eclipse of the sun on May 28, instead of passing over the sparsely settled regions of the world, will cross the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina and, will even touch Virginia, says The Scientific American. The track ofTotality begins on the Pa- :lfic ocean just west of Mexico, enters the United States near New Orleans and passes in a northeasterly direction until it reaches the sea at Norfolk and Cape Henry. Its path then crosses the Atlantic ocean and touches Portugal, Algiers and north Africa and will ter- minate near the northern end of the % 41;rw1u•`(OtU158US ti'E 2rc•orito o T ;4.aKn 3W,: ENp1E PATH OF THE TOTAL ECLIPSE. Red sea. The eclipse will last 1 minute and 12 seconds near New Orleans and 1 minute and 40 seconds near Norfolk. It is probable that large numbers of people will take the railroads to points where the eclipse can be seen. A num- ber of experimental stations will be es- tablished by the government along the path of the eclipse. The necessary ap- paratus,is now being gathered and ar- ranged, and men specially adapted for the work are being engaged and Are trained. Congress has allowed $5,000 to the naval observatory and $4,000 to the Smithsonian institution for this purpose. The, naval observatory will send out two expeditions. They will probably be located in North Carolina and Georgia, 200 miles apart. The weather bureau is collecting data of the weather conditions in past years In the month of May for the localities along the line of totality. So far they show there is less chance of cloudiness in central Georgia and eastern Ala- bama, and this is, therefore, the best region for locating the eclipse stations. The stations will be occupied two or three weeks before the eclipse, and the part which each man will take will be thoroughly rehearsed. It is very im- perative to, make uo mistakes during the minute and a half when observa- tions can be wade. The Smithsouiau institution officers ' S. P. Langley, Professor S will be andel I co o g 3. those of Princeton university under Professor Young, those of the Universi- ty of Pennsylvania under Professor Stone, and the Yerkes observatory will conduct the expedition with Professor Hale at its head. Nearly every college and scientific institution in the country will be represented, and probably 100 expeditions will observe the eclipse in the path of totality in addition to large numbers of scientific amateurs who will make extended observations. Nature's 'Protest. Scientific men are now telling us of the depredations of parasites that live In the soil. They are a form of fungi and attack vegetables. Melon growing has been abandoned in certain portions of the south because of them. Cotton growers In certain portions of the south have been driven out of business by them. The fungi get into the water ducts of the plant and kill it. A cross section of the stem of a plant under the microscope shows a stuffing like white cotton. These white threads soon pack the ducts solid or choke the plant. No remedy has yet been found, but it has been observed that the fungi prosper In land where there has been no rota- tion of crops. They live in plants in a dry state over winter, and when fed to cattle and they reappear from the barnyard they are carried back to the land to repeat their evil work. Rota- tion of crops is the only remedy. It is a protest of nature against tiring the soil with the same crop year after year. Sermon■ by Telephone. The First Baptist tabernacle of Cin- cinnati is to be connected by telephone with such of its members as desire to hear the sermon and service without leaving their homes. A transmitter has been placed 1n front of the pulpit, and the Citizens' Telephone company will put the instruments of subscribing church members in connection with it. The pastor of this church, the Rev. Dr. !Barbour, some time ago had a trans- mitter in his pulpit which was connect- ed with the private line of an elderly lady who was unable to leave her home to attend church. This arrange- ment worked satisfactorily for nearly four months. Antityghold Inoculation.

The dust of it fills your lungs, circulates with your blood all over your body and is digested with your food. 1 have had a number of cases such as ' ours, and I prescribe eight hours a day in the fresh air. You'll find it hard to follow this prescription. Away from the to- bacco laden air of your shop you will have the uneasy, restless longing to get back to it which the smoker, after a few hours of abstinence, has for a cigar. That is strange, but you'll find it true.

Witch Killing.—If horses are so bad- ly bewitched that one dies, the follow- ing will deprive the witch of her pow- er: Take the dead horse out into a field and burn the carcass beside a tree. First cut a cross in the tree, then drive a nail in at the cross. Now take your rifle, which must be loaded with a silver bullet, choose a position so that the fire is between you and the tree, and shoot over the fire at the nail. When you hit the nail, the witch will lose her power, and you cannot miss with the silver bullet. To Sell Oneself to the Devil.—Go to the crossroads at midnight alone and play on the banjo.

But when the thermometer ' recorded 200 degrees he began to per-! spire in streams, and a craving thirst set in. Iced water was given freely, and ice bandages were applied to his head. Meanwhile the heat increased. Pres- ently the doctor's toes began to ti-kle, and the perspiration from his body turning into steam hissed through the vents in the hood. Fresh ice bandages were applied. "Burning sensations," said the doc- tor, "began to extend over my body. I felt streams of water pouring from my skin. The intense heat kept the towels dry, or I should have been scalded to death. "The heat increased to 300 degrees, then to 350. The heat was so over- powering that I had a sensation akin to cold. Before the 400 degrees -had been reached I felt ready to cry out. Then the gas was turned off. I cool- ed slowly, but my skin was mottled for hours. But I feel like a new Ivan now and believe that the treatment will cure my rheumatism." The amount 'of ice water drunk by the doctor was amazing. It was given to him freely and readily passed off to perspiration. A few more fiery ordeals, he says, and he will be cured. A Mysterious Brain Gland. Very recently it has been discovered that there is connected with the brain sinall gland called the infundibula gland, which apparently supplies a ebemical substance to the brain, there to be diffused through the brain cavi- ties. It is thought that this substance is indispensable to the health of the brain, and there is promise that the study of this gland in animals and man will enable physicians to understand and treat certain diseases of the brain which are now very obscure.—Boston Transcript According to The Hawaiian Gazette, there are ordinarily from 30 to 40 vari- eties of fish in the Honolulu market.

A Good Color Scheme I. the First and Great Point. • The wall papering season being once more with us, the following practical points from Good housekeeping are presented for the benefit of the many whom they will probably concern: The color of paper for parlor or sit- ting room should be reposeful and un - stimulating and never dark. To select a large figure or one showing- great contrasts is a mistake. In regard to color, everything depends on the loca- tion of the roan bud the amount of light it receives. A long, narrow room, lighted only from the north end, needs a lighter, brighter wall than a south room having three. -o -, four -.windows. In the first case yellow is needed, and one can hardly get too much of it. One of the first living decorators cov- ered such a room with brilliant golden yellow, the ceiling only toned down to a cream. It was an Immense success. Such a color on a north room sounds more gorgeous than it really is. Noth- ing can be more brilliant than the sun- light, and yellow paint -or paper is the nearest similitude to that. In regard to figure, it Is a great mis- take to select that obtrusive or con- taining avaraety ofcolors.The best is that showing a lighter tint of the same or a harmonious color in conven- tional lines or arabesque—not in flow- ers. In fact, Sowers not conventional— that is, closely simulating nature—are only fit for sleeping rooms, and then they should appear in small masses. Wall colors should be closely studied. A hanging may be extremely beautiful and yet be unsuited to a certain room. In general, it may be said that positive colors—bright red: blue and green— should never be used. Again, hang- ings covering a wall appear much dark- er than when seen in the roll. As has been said, blue is a cool, depressing u g color. Once, in summer, we lived by the sea in a room hung and furnished entirely in bright blue. Over wall and carpet rioted blue roses which reap- peared in window hangings and toilet appurtenances. So grewsome was the influence that as soon as another room was vacated we induced the landlady to let us remove from that "deeply, darkly, desperately blue" and sunless apartment. It was a lesson never to be forgotten. It will be found upon trial that dull tints such as blue gray, gray green, pearl gray, cream, delicate terra cotta, sage green and olive, with more or less ornamentation or self colored, will give sufficient range for any number of rooms. Delicacy of tint requires deli- cacy and refinement in the colors of other furnishijgs. Bright, deep, rich hues in carpet or rugs and furu!uire coverings demand greater strength of color in wall than when they are light- er and duller. A cream or cafe au lait (the color of --well creamed coffee), light terra cotta or yellow or pinkish gray will afford excellent background for rooms havir•- little sunlight. All the shades of gray greens and blues and olives will better suit a southern exposure. Poor Teeth of the Tonag. A rapid tendency to decay, hitherto anknown in extent, is taking place 111 the teeth of the children and youth of the present generation. That the dis- ease is assuming alarming proportions Is painfully evident A few years ago a school committee was appointed by the British Dental association to ae- quire more knowledge of the condition of children's teeth at various ages. Of the children of a large number of paro- chial, industrial and other schools over 10,000 mouths were examined, and the condition of each tooth was marked upon a chart. Less than 15 per cent of such boys and girls of an average age of 12 years did not require sonle treat- ment for decayed teeth. The very large majority, therefore, of over 85 per =0 demanded skilled- atteation. -- Nine- teeuth Century. Echoes of Faithless. The newest Eton is collarless.

It comes in pastel colors, with a hairline stripe of white, and is dou- ble width. The summer is to be a lace season, and lace robes are more popular than ever. Some are trimmed with narrow ribbon quillings. Newer and more worn again than White gloves are light shades, such as lilac greenish gray, fawn, zinc, cream, biscuit, etc. Beautiful buttons in enamel are like- ly to be introduced on the sides of bodices and sleeves and in the center of loops of ribbon by those who can afford them. Sailor collars, detached and cut so that they almost replace a yoke, are an innovation on washable suits, and some of these are embroidered in open hole work. Ruffs with long pendent ends still have a place in fashion for it is to be a P great scarf year, and maltese and all kinds of scarfs will be worn. Turned the Joke to Account. Some friends once invited the late Tiny Waterman to their shooting club at Kings Lake, near St. Louis, and the first afternoon they stationed Tiny in a ducking tank, or sink box, where they well knew ducks had never been seen. He took the joke good naturedly, and that night at dinner he pulled a shell out of his pocket and tossed it on the table with the remark that he "thought he had put all of his shells away." Most naturally one of the diners cut the shell open with his pocketknife, disclosing the contents. Tiny seemed astounded at the number of "bullets," as he called them, and asked how many were in a shell. Of course no one could enlighten him, so he said, "If you fellows who are hunters really don't know, it seems to me that It is a good betting proposition." "Good scheme," exclaimed one of his hosts. "Let's make it a dollar each as to who guesses nearest to the actual number in the shell." "As there is only one bet in this proposition," Tiny suggested, "let's make it $5 a corner," which was agreed to. Each one wrote on the tablecloth his guess as to the number contained in the shell, and when the pellets were counted it was found that Tiny had guessed the exact number. He ac- cordingly gathered in the $30, and when he had it safely bestowed he casually inquired, "What do you fel- lows think I was doing in that blamed tank all afternoon?"—San Francisco Argonaut. We Need Sleep. One of the medical journals pleads hard for more sleep for every one, and especially for medical men, who are cut short of "nature's soft nurse." How doctors are to get their extra hours is not suggested, but the average person is recommended to emulate the dor- mouse and learn to "drop off" at sun- dry times and in divers places. Un- doubtedly it is true that, while we are particular nowadays about our food, our sanitation, our exercise and gener- al hygiene, we seem to fancy that we can do with less and less sleep. People rise early and take rest late. Insomnia is a prevalent plague, and nervous disorders victimize all sorts and conditions of men and women. There is not time, apparently, to get the proper allowance of sleep 1n bed, and The Lancet even goes so far as to say this is not essential. However, the cultivating of a habit of sleeping at odd moments would not be without its drawbacks, although it would also have its advantages. It would be awkward, for example, to have one's guests tak- ing rest during a party; but, on the other hand, it would be delightful to quench bores by simply taking 40 winks whenever a particularly prosy story was being told. • Artifieial Stone. A new Belgian artificial stone Is said to have four times the resistible power of French freestone. It is insensible to the action of cold, absorbing only 2 to 7 per cent of water, even after a long, dry spell, and cannot be crushed under a pressure of 40 kilos to the square centimeter. The fnethod of maufacturing this stone is as follows: Eighty parts of extremely clean and dry, coarse sand are mixed with 20 parts of hydraulic lime reduced to a line dust. This mixture is put Into an iron box, which is plunged into a boiler of water, and this is hermetically dos- ed. The cooking goes on under a pres- sure of six atmospheres for 72 hours, a temperature of 165 degrees being main- tained. At the end of this time the iron box contains a perfectly homo- geneous mass of stone, which rapidly hardens upon exposure to the air. A Very Restful Rest. Adolf Menzel, the German artist, was at one time engaged on a mural decoration. He had rigged up a scaf- folding in his studio, on which his model was requested to stand. For two long hours the poor "poseur" stood up aloft in a most fatiguing posture. Menzel in the meantime worked at his sketch, heedless of the fact that his model was growing tired. At length the model found it necessa- ry to speak. "Herr professor," said he, "how about a recess?" Menzel apologized profusely for his forgetfulness. "Certainly, certainly, my dear sir," said he. "Come down and rest yourself a bit." The model had clambered from the scaffolding to the ladder, which led down from it to the studio floor. "Stop!" cried the artist suddenly. "That pose is fine! Don't move a muscle!" And once more the model was forced" into /drained rigidity, while the en- thusiastic n- thus ai stic draftsman set about sketch- ing him. At the end of half an hour Menzel looked up from his work. "There," said he, "that will do nicely! Get back on the scaffold. We have had our rest. Let us get back to work again." What the model said is left to the reader's imagination. *1 per Year in AAyanee. se per Year hi net la Ad SUMMER FOOTGEAR. The Newest Mannish Oxford—Popu- lar Heels and Toes. That moderately pointed toe which early this winter succeeded the bulldog toe is going to grace women's summer boots and shoes. Even those examples of footgear most becoming in other respects to mannishness are femininely pointed when It comes to their toes. There promises to be a tremendous run on low shoes this summer. The newest summer half shoe is decidedly man- nish. Its sole is thick, its extension very broad and its outer side shows that edge just above the toe that means such great comfort to the woman wear- ing it. This half shoe is made entirely of patent leather and its chief novelty consists in unlimited perforations. Round every edge and every seam run those perforations, following an elab- erate pattern and really leaving very little of the leather unpunched. Per- forations are the bulwark of the new- est summer half shoes. The heel of this "mannish Oxford"—its technical name—is low, especially when com- pared with most of the new heels. Heels, with the single exception of that displayed by this "mannish Oxford," are higher this season than they have been for years. The Cuban heel, so called ever since the late war—before that it was the "Spanish heel"—continues to hold its own, and deservedly. The Cuban heel is high, but not unhygienically curved; it adds height, but it does not detract from the wearer's grace of carriage. The cut shows a good example of the Cuban heel. Another heel, called the "new custom heel," is really a development of the Cuban, being that heel with more of a curve than belongs to it naturally. The Louis heel, minus its once popular white stitching, is still beloved by many women and will be seen upon How Mayne Reid Won His Bride. It was through his novel, "The Scalp Hunters," that Captain- Mayne Reid won a bride. He was 30 years old when he met a damsel of 13, with whom he at once fell in love. The child took no notice of him, but he gave her the story to read, as effective a manner of courting in this nineteenth century as ever was Othello's in an earlier one. Two years later the young lady was at a public meeting where Captain Reid spoke on behalf of the Polish refugees. "An electric thrill seemed to pass through me as he en- tered the room," she said afterward, and when the meeting was over she ' went up to him. "I leave for London on the next train," he said hurriedly. "Please send me your address." "I do not know where," she replied with some embarrassment. He In- stantly handed out his card and was gone. A formal little note followed: Dear Captain Reid—As you asked me to send you my address, I do so." By return of post came the answer: "Only say that you love me and I will be with you at once," and then the reply, "I think I do love you." Brick. Are magnets. An article in The Pliyeical Review gives the result of interesting experi- ments showing that ordinary bricks possess a considerable degree of mag- netism. The magnetic gust- ity s sup- posed to be due to the presence of iron oxide in the clay, since the degree of magnetism seems to vary with the .proportion of that substance revealed His Vote. "Well, suh," said the old time colored voter, "de ways er de canderdate 1s past flndln out. All de year I been lak one cryin in de wilderness, en no man 'spon ter my cry.

En all I got ter my name is one vote en der rheumatism!"—Atlanta Constitution. White and Red Wines. White and red wines owe their dif- ference to the tact that, while the for- mer is permitted to ferment without the grape skirts, (hese are allowed to remain in the case of the latter. The color of the grapes makes no difference whatever to the color of the wine which they produce, for the juice of all grapes is as nearly as possible col- orless. For instance, the grape which yields champagne is almost black in outward appearance. Hard Luek. Perry Patetic—Please. lady, help a poor man wat's bin outer work fer Kind Lady—Here's a quarter, poor man. Can't you find anything at all to do? Perry Patetic—No, lady.

The first coffee house in London was opened in 1852 by the Greek servant of a Turkey merchant. R CUBAN AND MILITARY HEELS, DRESS BOOTS, MANNISH AND DnESS OXFORDS. both boots and half shoes for summer. In slipperdom it naturally reigns su- preme. There is a new material for summer boots. This is nothing more nor less than a substitute for patent leather. While having all the luster of the patent leather, the new material is said to be Immune as regards cracking, is enough to recommend it alone. It is also lighter, more pliable and in every way more serviceable than pat- ent leather. It should not, however, I' be confounded with what is known as "enamel leather?' Womankind is apparently divided into two equal camps concerning but- toned and laced boots. The points to be remembered are that laced boots have made tremendous strides within the past half dozen years and that they must ever make any foot look more slender than the buttoned article. Here in the cut are the two accepted modes for dress boots. The first example le in glace kid, buttoned and with a straight patent leather tip. The second has a neat kid top, is straight foxed iivith patent leather and laces. Both these boots exhibit the new Louis heel. Tan boots will be much worn this summer, especially by men. It should be observed, however, that the tan of today is much more moderate in tone than that displayed by boots even of a short time ago. The one time regular banana yellow has settled down into a sober brownish shade known as the "real" or "moderate russet" and which is probably one reason for a revival of this style of boot. The new tan boot, either high or low and for both women and children, is not conspicn- ons by reason of its color, though it still remains immune against dist, says the New York Evening Bun, froth whose resume of footgear feeble°, these items are gleaned. Renovating Carpets. An old housekeeper says that there may be many new liquids for freshen- ing and brightening carpets, 'tut she has yet to find anything that will do better work than ox gall. Use o..e to a gallon of cold, soft water, stirring the ox gall into the water with a slick. With a soft brush rub the carpet, mak- ing a white lather. Two persons should do this work, one following the other and washing the lather -off With clear water. 'The water should be ehanged often, and then the carpet should be rubbed with clean cloths until dry. The Arabs show their !deadline= when meeting by shaking hands eft at eight times.

The work of couuting the people begins next Friday, continuing the greater portion of the month with the exception of the large cities, where it is limited to two reeks. The enumer- ators have received their schedules and instructions, and will enter upon their duties promptly. In order that each subdivisiou may receive due credit in the enrollment it is very important that every official should be rendered all the assistance per- missible under the rules of the de- partment. particularly in the case of absentees. There are a large num- ber of single men from Hastings and vicinity temporarily employed in railroad grading, on the drives, on goverument contracts, etc., and unless the necessary statistics are furnished by some one knowing to the facts quite a proportion are liable to be overlooked and omitted. Memorandums in writing sLould be handed in containing name, date and place of birth, immigration, natural- ization, occupation, and other answers to the questions propounded. St. Purl and Minneapolis expend large sums in keeping their lists up to high water hark; to the disadvantage of smaller communities where the mat- ter is allowed to go by default. It is hoped this year that Dakota County will receive credit for every inhabi- tant having a legal residence here, and the only way to secure it is by helping the. enumerators in their scantily paid labors. T. D. Strait, formerly postal clerk on the IIastings & Dakota, died in Minneapolis on the 18th inst. of apoplexy, aged fifty-five years. He leaves a wife, two sons, and a daugh- ter. Trume had a number of old friends in this city, who regret to learu of his sudden departure. Minnesota Journalism. The Northwestern Editorial Asso- ciation will have a pleasant outing next month, the itinerary including Winnipeg, Rat Portage, Rainy Lake, Vermillion Lake, Tower, and Duluth. The trip begins on the 1lth, and lasts a week. The papers are poking fun at P. H. Rahilly, our own Pat., for using one of Daniel Dougherty's old speeches " - in nominating Donnelly at 'Cincinnati. It was all right, however; a warmed over speech and a warmed over can- didate go well together. Judge I. B. Mills, of Moorhead, formally announces that he is a can- didate for a place on the republican railroad commissioner ticket. He served seven years during the Clough administration, a sufficient handicap at this late day. The postmasters organized an as- sociation in Minneapolis on Tuesday, with William Kayser, of Faribault, as president, and C. A. Rasmussen, of Red Wing, as secretary and treasurer. The attorney general holds that all money received at the forfeited tax sales over and above the amount of tax, interest, penalty', and costs reverts to the original owner of the land. The recount of ballots in the Mc Lardy -Betz contest for the controller- ship of St. Paul has placed the for- mer considerably in the lead, with half the city yet to hear from. E. A. Whitford, of this city, has begun the study of medicine in order to keep even with the three doctors on the district delegation at the national republican convention. The internal revenue department has finally decided that a bank cer- tificate of deposit only requires a two cent stamp regardless of the amount of money involved. The Hon. A. R. McGill will be ap- pointee] postmaster of St. Paul as soon as the mayor elect lets go of that lucrative position. The beet sugar factory at St. Louis Park is to largely increase its capacity this season, the improvements being estimated at $85,000. The drouth in this vicinity is be- coming a serious matter, and noth- ing but a very heavy rain can do any good. Tturincreasing business of the post office has outgrown the present small quarters in the corridor of the Ex- change building, and the room oc- cupied by the restaurant in the base- ment is being fitted up for it. An outside entrance is being made and the inner door will be closed up. L. J. Aldrich will take his restaurant to King's Hotel and conduct the dining room at that place. Mr. King will room the guests only, turning over the kitchen and dining room to Mr. Aldrich. -South St. Poul Reporter. Randolph Items. Mrs. John Tyner was in St. Paul on Saturday. Mrs. C. S. McCloud was in North- field on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. E. R. McElrath were in Northfield Saturday. School closed on Friday with a picnic in Lundin's grove. Several from this vicinity attended the Hampton dance Saturday night. The milk separator opened this week under the direction of Mr. Ronkey, of St. Paul. John Tyner and Mrs. Perry drove to Northfield Sunday to see their brother Frank, whos now improving. Miss Florence Steele went to Northfield Saturday for medical treatment, returning Monday morning. Eldo Kattenberg, formerly of this place, but now a brakeman on the Great Western Road, spent Sunday here. Miss Emma Holmberg entertained Misses Gustayson, Josephson, and Jacobson, of Carleton College, over Sunday. Mrs. Ida Penniman, of Waterville, and Mrs. Flora Daniels and children, of Spokane, are visiting friends in this vicinity. Miss Nettie McElrath was pleas- antly surprised Tuesday evening at the home of her brother, Mr. E. M. McElrath, by a number of her friends and relatives, it being her birthday. Langdon items. Corn planting in finished here. Charley Ratzloff lost a fine mare and colt recently. Daniel House has been spending a week at Wood Lake. Miss Grace Dalton is working at Mannheimer's store in St. Paul. Will Dalton was down from Fred- erick, S. D., on a visit with his parents. Miss Florence Remick and Dwight Conley, of St. Paul, spent Sunday at Charley Gilmore's. Mr. and Mrs. Dell Cook and Mrs. Joseph Horak, of Hastings, were guests at John Kemp's on Friday. Misses Florence Turnbull and Ida Christopherson, of Hastings, were in town Sunday, from spending the day at St. Paul -Park. Mr. and Mrs. Wilmer Burton, of Denmark, were here on Friday. Mr. Burton is agent for a cream separator, and left one on trial. A. W. Kemp had a milch cow killed by a Burlington passenger train last Saturday, about two miles east of Curry, and several head of stock belonging to other parties were injured. - Big Twine Output. The binder twine plant at the state prison is turning out about double as much twine daily as it did last year, although the increased machin- ery was expected to add only fifty per cent to the capacity. The man- ufacture is forty-six thousand pounds daily, whereas it was about twenty- three thousand pounds last year. The convicts are all working with willing disposition, and are now putting in two hours a day extra. They begin a half hour earlier in the morning, put in a half hour more at noon, and work an hour later in the evening. The over time is voluntary. When asked if they were willing to put in the additional two hours all gave an affirmative answer except one, who said his eyes bothered him. The prisoners are allowed ten cents an hour for extra time and are given an extra supper of meat while the present arrangement continues, which will be two months. Since the law abolished the plan of allowing the prisoners good time money they appreciate this opportunity to earn extra money. -Stillwater Gazette. Asylum Notes.- F. H. Joestin, of St. Paul, was the guest of Supt. Robert Carmichael, on Monday. Fifteen additional patients will be received from the Rochester asylum the latter part of next week. The teachers of the public schools were invited out to tea Wednesday evening, remaining until after the concert. The concert of the Military Band on Wednesday evening was greatly enjoyed by the inmates. There was a large attendance of town people. Fred Nussbaumer, superintendent,`, and E. F. Lemke, florist, of the St. Paul public parks, visited the asylum Wednesday to furnish suggestions towards beautifying the grounds. J. L. Hyland, of Rosemount, is having considerable trouble in secur- ing a quantity of timber which he purchased at an auction sale from the government Apr. 16th. The logs were confiscated b government employes on Raineyver because it had been cut on government land. Ryland sent a crew to get the logs, and they were driven away. Hyland has been promised that the govern- ment will remove the timber for him. -St. Paul Globe, 19th. Our New Citizens.

Warweg, of Rosemount, was appointed administrator of William Moeller; late of Lebanon, on Tuesday. The Forfeited Tax Sale. The forfeited tax sale this week was quite largely attended, with brisk competition on a number of farm lands and city lots, which brought good premiums. Most of the proper- ty, however, was bid in by the own- ers at half of the original tax. The sale thus far has realized between $7,000 and 8,000. It will be con- cluded to -day with West St. Paul.

AN EKCE[IENT REASON Being a Woman, Win- ifred Was Not Apt at Giving Reasons, So s Man Helped Her Out iilR�l'f:f. 4111rt''fiardI MANN AXst "Is it something immensely impor- tant?" I asked as Winifred looked up with a number of wrinkles on her fore- head. "Immensely," she said, with a sigh. "Are you writing a poem?" "Nothing could possibly be more pro - Ale." "Then I may Ise able to help you," I suggested. "Certainly not," she exclaimed, and she instantly covered her sheet of pa- per with the blotting pad. "That," she added, "would be too ridiculous." "Now, why is the idea of my helping you ridiculous?" I demanded. "Well, it is." "A woman's reason!" "At all events," she insisted, "I must write the letter myself." "Whom is It for?" I ventured to ask. "Lord Carfleld." "I wasn't aware you corresponded," I suggested. "Oh, we don't. At least he has never written to me before," she answered. "And so you find Lord Carfield's let- ter difficult to answer?" I asked. Winnie sat with her right elbow on the edge of the blotting pad, her eyes fixed on the window, a charming air of self consciousness on her small face. A tress of her hair fell forward over her forehead, which was still wrinkled. "Suppose you let ale tell you what to say?" I proposed, standing with a hand ou her chair. "Oh, I know what to say." "Then where's your difficulty?" I de- manded. "At least I think I do, only I don't know how to put it." "Well, you see, that's where I might come in." "It has nothing—nothing in the world —to do with you," she said, rising im- pulsly. ely. "I am not quite sure of that." "But 1 am perfectly sure," she insist- ed. "Now, you were to take me into your confidence as far as to show me Car - field's letter." "Of course 1 shall do nothing of the kind," she retorted. "Then I must try to guess its con- - tents." "You could never guess," cried Win - ale decidedly. "He wishes you to marry him," I said. Winnie turned upon me with an ex- pression of complete surprise. "Why, how did you know that?" she exclaimed, with a fierce flush. "You see, I happen to possess a pair of eyes." "I am sure I have never done a thing to lead you to think that." "Still it might have led others, espe- cially Carfield, you know." "I think that's very horrid of you," she said, sitting down again, with a pout her lips. "Then Carfleld has re-2Nasked you to marry him?" I asked, "Isn't it a nuisance?" she cried, lift- ing her eyebrows with an air of ex- treme perplexity. "Well, that's all right," I said. "What is?" she demanded. "So that you think it's a nuisance?" "Well, It Is," she answered. "All my people are bothering me about it. They want me to"— "They don't want you to marry the man!" I cried. "They insist there's no reason why I shouldn't," u t," Bald Winnie, with a harass- ed expression. "Oh, but there's the most excellent reason," I urged. "Oh, do tell me what it is!" she plead- ed hopefully. "I said I could help you." "But how?" she cried. "Take a fresh sheet of paper and a new nib," I suggested, "then I'll dic- tate your answer. Now then," I dic- tated, "'Dear Lord Carfleld' "— "I've put that." "'Thank you very much.' " "Oh, I can't begin in that way," she objected. "Well," 1 said, "we'll try again. 'Dear Lord Carfleld, I am deeply hon- ored by yo it request.' " Winnie put the end of her pen be- tween her teeth and turned toward me with a doubtful air. "You know," she said, "I don't really feel honored at all." "Of course not. It's a mere matter of form. Now, then, we're not getting on. 'I am deeply honored by your re- quest, but I regret to tell you' "— "I must know what I'm going to tell him first," cried Winnie, pausing again. " `I regret to tell you that I am una- ble to consider it' "— "But I did—very seriously," she in - slated. "Oh, well," 1 said, "of course if you really care for the fellow"— "Well?" she cried provokingly. "Why, you may as well write the let- ter without my interference" "That's what I told you at first," said Winnie triumphantly. "I think I shall say goodby," I re► turned, and I took my hat from the table. "Goodby," she said, with a careless nod, as I stepped toward the door. "That will be the .second sheet of pa- per I've wasted," she cried as I turned the handle. "You're going to write another, then?" I suggested, closing the door again. "It's a pity you're in a hurry," she cried. "I'm not" "Because you might post it for me. shan't be two minutes." And, takin her pen, she began to write at a grea pace. When she had finished, sh carefully blotted the letter and dlrec ed an envelope. "You might like t read it?" she suggested, on the point o sealing it. "Oh, thanks!" She held out her band with the le ter, and, taking it from the envelope, smoothed it out. The contents wer barely two lines asking Carfleld to ca at 4 o'clock the following day. "Will that do?" she asked. "I think mine would have been bet ter," I said. "That is one of the things we shat never know now," she apswered. "Why not?" "Because you lost your temper," sit said. "I hate a man who loses his tem per." "Still it's never too late to mend," urged. "Now, suppose you sit down again and finish my letter, then we ca compare notes, you know, and I'll pos which you please." "Very well," she assented, and sh sat down and took her pen again. "Where were we?" I asked. "'Dear Lord Carfleld, I am deeply honored by your request, but I regre to tell you that I am unable to conside It.' That's all we've done," said Win nie, looking up with an expectant ex pression. "'Because' "— "Yes; I've written that." " `Because I am already engaged to be married to' "— Winuie threw down her pen, making, a large blot on the pad. "1 didn't know you were making a Joke of it," she cried indignantly. "I'm not," I insisted. "You were telling me to write non- sense." "You never wrote anything half so sensible in your life," I assured her. "Besides, it isn't true," she said. "Not yet," I answered, "and you haven't finished the letter. Now, sup- pose you finish it?" Winnie took up the pen again. "'Because I'm already engaged to be married to Mr..iArthur' "— "Oh, this is dreadful!" she murmur- ed, bending low over the paper. " `To Mr. Arthur Everest,' " I said. "Now, all you have to do is to remain his very truly or very sincerely and sign your name." So Winnie signed her name; then she leaned back in her chair and stared hard at what she had written. I drew a chair to her side and sat down. "And now?" I suggested. "Of course," she continued; "it isn't likely I could send him a letter of that kind." "Still it contains the truth." "It says that I am engaged to be married," she said, "and of course I am nothing of the kind." "You will be, Winnie." "Some day perhaps." "Today is as good as another," 1 urged. "And to somebody," she added. "If it comes to that," 1 insisted, "1 am better than any one else." Winnie looked into my face with a smile on her lips. Then she became permanently serious. "Perhaps—perhaps you are," she said quietly, and then— But 1 don't think I shall tell you what followed.—West- minster Gazette. I I Trapped the Trapper. g In "Sketches of Life In the Golden t State," Colonel Albert S. Evans nar- e rates the rash exploit of au over- t- sanguine bear hunter: o A venturesome Yankee carne to San - f to Barbara some years ago and soon became an adept at throwing the lasso. Hearing the Mexican cowboys talk of t- lassoing the grizzly bear, he decided I to show them what he could do in that e line if he ever got a chance. 11 One day he carne upon a grizzly in a favorable locality. He threw the lasso with skillful aim and reined back - his trembling horse to give the bear an astonisher, when the reata—which 1 is always attached to the pommel of the. saddle --came up taut. Judge of the man's astonishment e when that bear quietly assumed a sit- - ting posture, took hold or the lasso and began to draw It in h:.ad over I hand! The hapless descendant of the pil- n grim fathers stuck to the horse and t saddle until be saw the slack all drawn in and the bear and the horse coming e rapidly together. Then, in a panic, he descended and ran for a tree, aban- doning the horse to its fate. Two skillful men, operating from op- t posite sides, can master a bear and ✓ choke him between them, but with only one man, one horse and one bear, it is another story. Sheep In Spain. In Spain there are some 10,000,000 of migratory sheep, which every year travel as much as 200 tulles from the plains to the "delectable mountains," where the shepherds feed them till the snows descend. These sheep are known as transhumantes, and their march, resting places and behavior are regu- lated by ancient and special laws and tribunals dating from the fourteenth century. At certain times no one is allowed to travel on the same route as the sheep, which have a right to graze on all open and common land on the way and for which c a road 90 yards wide must be left on all inclosed and private proper- ty. The shepherds lead the flocks, the sheep follow, and the flocks are accom- panied by mules carrying provisions and large dogs which act as guards against the wolves. The merino sheep travel 400 miles to the mountains, and the total time spent on the migration there and back is 14 weeks.—Spectator. "Of!" For "Of." I always say "I bought it off Jones," and up to now, through so constantly hearing people, my late father includ- ed (he always used to pronounce cof- fee as corffee), talk in this way, thought it was right. Still this would be only in conversation. Writing to any one, saying I had bought anything, I should put "of Jones" or "from Jones." I suppose "from Jones" would be per- fectly correct. I have heard this form of speech in many different parts of the country, but most frequently, I think, in and rear Liverpool. The use of "off" for "of" and "off of" is common in the north of England. -- Notes and Queries. Practical Politics For Infants. The ingenious educational system known as the school city was invented by Wilson L. Gill, to whose efforts is largely due its success in Omaha, Chi- cago, Milwaukee and other cities. On one occasion a class of urchins was be- ing taught the mysteries of election day. One boy was made a Democratic and a second a Republican inspector, two were made poll clerks, two watch. ers, two candidates, and so on. When all the tasks had been assigned, a square jawed little fellow looked up and said: "Please, sir, I want to be a police- man and club that curly headed poll clerk."—Saturday Evening Post. Lady Betty. In prerevolutionary days there was Ca woman public executioner in Vir- ginia. At that time death sentences were respited on condition that a crim- inal should perform this office. "Lady Betty," as she was afterward called, was sentenced to death for mur- der. She offered insteatl to become public executioner and 11€1d this office for many years. It is said that on the scaffold she officiated without a mask.—Chicago Times -Herald. Sly Joking In the Pulpit. "Before I went to college," said a minister of this city, "I did supply work on a certain charge one summer. Iu the Methodist church we had serv- ice morning and evening. There was a Presbyterian church in the village, and the pastor from another village supplied it, preaching there once a Sunday iu the afternoon. I weut to hear him one afternoon. He was a col- lege bred man and was supposed to be away up. When he spied are In the congregation, he came down and asked me to assist In the opening exercises. When we were seated, he asked me to read the first lesson and at the same time announced that it was a certain chapter in the book of Numbers. Just before I was to read I reached up to the desk and took down the Bible and opened at the place. I glanced down over the chapter and saw that it was a mass of unpronounceable names. I knew that he was working a joke ou me. He knew that I could not get away with those names. I said noth- ing, but when the time carne I stood up and announced the chapter following and read it. "When I sat down, he gave me a look, and he got one back. I whispered hoarsely, 'I guess not.' Those were the only words spoken on this subject"— Utica Observer. "Quick Lunches." It is the habit of the modern time saving young man, says Eliot Gregory in The Atlantic, upon entering a qui,k lunch establishment to dash for the bill of fare and give an order (if he is adroit enough to catch one of the maids on the fly) before removing either coat or flat. At least 13 seconds may be economized in this way. Once seated, the lunches falls to on anything at hand — bread, cold slaw, crackers or catchup. When the dish ordered ar- rives, he gets his fork into It as it ap- pears over his shoulder and cleans the plate before the sauce makes its ap- pearance, so that is eaten by itself or with bread. Cups of coffee or tea go down in two swallows. Little piles of cake are cut in quarters and disappear iu four mouthfuls, much after the fashion of children down the ogre's throat in the mechanical toy, mastication being ei- ther a lost art or considered a foolish waste of energy.

The next he is down the block in pursuit of a receding trolley. Won on it Bluff. "It does me good to meet up with one of that class of people who ! P e � o thinly they know it all," said the old man with the ancient hat. "I was comiug over from Baltimore on a train the other day, and a man who was writing in a book asked me how to spell 'proper.' I told him, but a know it all who sat near disputed ) uted me. I bet him $10 even up that I was right and prov- ed I was by four disinterested men. I gave the $10 to charity." "How did the man contend the word should be spelled?" was asked. "Why, he said there was only one `p' in it." "And you stuck for two, eh?" "I did. I insisted that it was spelled 'propper,' and he finally owned up like a little man and handed me over the money."

She did not reciprocate. Brown's friends knew of the affair, and whenever Brown gave a toast Miss Simpson was made the subject of it. One night, when Brown and his companions were en- joying a little supper among them- selves, one of the men said: "Come, Brown, your usual toast." "No," came the reply. "Since I can't make her Brown I'll toast her no lon- ger."—London Answers. RUSSIAN POLICEMEN. Kew Governor's Test For Their Alertness Was a Failure. A good story is being told in St. Pe- tersburg of the Russ'lan police which the papers pronounce to be exceeding- ly characteristic. A new governor was sent to a certain town in the interior, and the inhabitants at once began to complain that the police were badly organized, since, however much they were wanted, they would never come when they were sent for. The govern- or determined to test this for himself, so one night he set out for the bar- racks where the police and the fire brigade were quartered. He accosted L�2 sentry: "Do you know me?" "Yes, your excellency." "If a man was being murdered close by, would you quit your post?" "Never, your excellency." "Good," said the governor. "You know your duty,_ Well, what would you do?" "I would blow my whistle to rouse the guard." "Good. Let us suppose some one is being murdered here. Whistle." The soldier blew, but not a soul an- swered. He blew again and again, but the same silence prevailed. "That will do," said the governor at last. "You have whistled your utmost, and nobody has come; but, at any rate, your conscience is tranquil. Now you can go to sleep. The man could have been murdered two or three times over. It is unnecessary to overdo it by trying to wake your comrades, who appear to sleep like the dead. The czar should be proud of such steady soldiers." With that the governor went off, congratulating himself that no one would be likely to accuse his police of having a share In the midnight mur- ders of the town. Out of Sight. An English cotton buyer in Memphis was talking with the clerk of one of the hotels the other day when a com- mercial traveler came up. "How you feeling, Bill?" said the clerk as he ex- tended his hand. "Oh, I'm just out of sight." replied the drummer. After the commercial man had been assigned his room the Englishman turned to the clerk and inquired what he meant by "out of sight." The clerk explained that he meant he was feel- ing fine, and the Englishman recorded it in his little book. The next morning when he same down to breakfast the clerk, following his usual custom, asked how he felt. The Englishman thought it a good time to try some of his newly learned slang and, with the air of one who has solv- ed a difficult problem, replied, "Oh, you kaun't see me at all!"—Memphis Scimitar. Motion and Color. The relations between light and the eye are wonderful, and the rapidity of the vibrations of the atmosphere nec- essary to produce color sensations are maziug. To get the sensation of red cess our eyes are affected 482,000,000 times in a second; of yellowness, 540,- 000,000, and of violet. 707,000,000. So that the seven trued rainbow, whose firm and subtle flame is reared out of drops of water that are ever shifting, plays upon the human eye in a manner so astounding that the strongest mind might stagger beneath the awful reve- lation.—London Opinion. Baked Eggplant, Baked eggplant helps out when va- riety is desired. In selecting the plant see that it is smooth. Cut it in halves and remove the pulp, leaving the shell about one-third of an inch thick. Chop and mix well together one large or two small tomatoes, one small onion, the inside of the eggplant, a slice of green pepper, a few bread crumbs, a sprit of parsley and a little salt. With this mixture fill the empty shell, lay a piece of butter on top and bake 30 minutes. Plain Pastry For Pies. A heaping cupful of flour (preferably pastry flour), a saltspoonful of salt, one.third to half a cupful of butter or lard or half of each, cold water to make a stiff dough. Mix the salt with the flour, rub in the shortening until it seems a light mealy powder, then add cold water to make a stiff dough. If salted butter is used, do not add any salt to the flour. This is the simplest form of pastry and the kind most gen- erally used, says Table Talk. Sweets For Breakfast. Following the English Customrof hav- ing a pot_of marmalade on the break- fast table, the up to date plan is to - have honey served at American break- fast tables and in a pot of special de- sign.

Next to the Lowest Bidder, "Said contract to go to the next to the lowest bidder" is the way that a local building contractor would- have the closing sentence read in advertise- ments for bids on any particular job. While speaking of the matter recently this same contractor said that if the truth were known nine out of ten of the lowest bids made are made through a mistake in the calculations of the bidder. "If the contractor who gets the job was aware that his bid Is oftentimes $1,000 below that of the one next above him, and this on a comparatively small job, he would immediately Institute a search and find where he had made the mistake, thus having an opportu- nity of failing to qualify to complete the job. This privilege is often denied the bidder, however, and he gets well along with his work before the fact dawns upon hire that he is on a losing venture. It is then too late to go back on the job, and the result is that the party who Is doing the building and the contractors also are losers, and this because of the natural inclination of the contractor to shirk in order not to lose any more than be is absolutely obliged to in order to get out on the bad deal.

His Only Conundrum, The old pilot of the little steamer Maid of the Mist, which used to carry passengers quite -hp to the foot of the falls of Niagara until the mist from the failing waters drenched the clothing of every one on board, used to perpetuate one solitary conundrum each trip. It always commenced and ended the same. Moving his hand along the sides of the pilothouse and examining the wood- work minutely, he would look up mys- teriously and remark: "I say, stranger, do you know what this boat is made of?" "Made nf? Why, pine and oak, isn't she?" "No, sir." "Hemlock?" "No." "'Tisn't cedar, is it?" "Oh, no!" And then the old pilot's eye twin- kled and his mouth whistled a crazy tune. "Nell, iron perhaps?" "No." "What in thunder is she made of, then?" "She's Maid of the Mist, stranger; Maid of the Mist." Then the pilot accepted his morning cigar. He Was Very Charitable. An amusing story is told in connec- tion with a swell bazaar held a short time ago. Among the features of the entertainment was a refreshment stall, to which charitable donors contributed supplies, thus enabling all the takings to represent clear profits. The lady in charge requested a gift for this purport from a well known and wealthy gentleman in the city, but one not famous for "parting." To her surprise she received next day a note to the effect that he was sending her a sirloin of beef and "two" ox tongues. The same morning the lady happened to go to her butcher (who was also the butcher of Mr. X.), and, after giving him a large order for her stall, asked him if he would like himself to give anything. "I should very much, ma'am," replied the worthy tradesman, "but I yester- day gave to Mr. X., at his request for this purpose, a sirloin of beef and three ox tongues."

The cable of the Western Union Tele- graph company which runs under Lake Champlain from Ticonderoga to Larrabees Point has something of a history. It was made in Europe and was first used in connecting opposite shores of the Red sea. From there it was brought to Hilton Head, where it was used in connecting that place with Tybee island, near Beaufort, S. C. At the close of the civil war it was taken up and carried to New York city, where it remained for several years in the company storehouse before it was placed where it now is.

The Best O or the Ordinary Howie - hold asd How to Care For It. A thousand times better is it to have a good dinner, serve ou a table simply covered with a shi (Ing damask cloth, the dishes and glasses immaculately clean, than a tad one served with lace and silver galore. And money has lit- tle to do with the matter sometimes. Ordinarily the best covering for the table is the double satin damask, in fair quality costing from" $2 to $5 a yard. Coverings may cost as high as $100, but they do not come within the range of ordinary table linen. Those patterns are best that are complete— that is, bordered all around to suit the length of the table—and generally the small figures are to be preferred. Hem- stitching ou table linen is a mistake, as It wears badly, but the hem ought to be at least two inches deep. The nap- kins for formal use must match the cloth and may be either three-fourths or seven -eighths in size. The very largest are not as good form now as formerly. The ordinary waitress takes such lit- tle care of table linen that it requires good common sense on the part of the laundress to wash it properly. First of all, every stain from tea, coffee or grease must be removed before wash- ing. Certain other [narks, of iron rust or mildew, ought never to appear; but, if they do, they require separate treat- ment. For fruit, tea or coffee stains the cloth can be held tightly across the top of a pan while boiling water is poured over it from a height. For iron rust nothing is better than javelle wa- ter, but it must be prepared carefully, used properly and rinsed out quickly. For iron rust wetting the spot and ap- plying salts of lemon, with good rins- ing afterward, will generally be of benefit. As for the washing, words give but little idea of what must be done. Any one who is considered competent to at- tempt it ought to know how to do it properly, as there are right and wrong ways to soap and soak, to rub and boil, to rinse and blue. The bluing is needed to counteract the tendency of the linen toward a yellowish tint. A light wind and a warm sun are needed to dry the linen properly. It should never be hung out when the wind is high. The sprinkling and folding come next, and, while the old fashioned method of stretching was of excellent service in straightening the cloth, it is not a necessity. The sprinkling must be thoroughly done till every inch is wet, and when folded and rolled the linen may stand 12 hours, but must not be dry in any spot when ready for iron- ing. The damp cloth, the hot iron, the strong arm and quick movement will accomplish wonders, but the pressure back and forth must be constant until the linen is dry. Such care will easily pay for itself to any one who sees the figures and lines show like satin, and the cloth, smooth, glossy and firm, will be a delight to the eye and touch.—Table Talk.

A Scientific Method That Has a Very Convincing Sound. The windows are to the house what the eyes are to the soul. Either may reveal much or little. All depends on their brightness, their ability to transmit light—in the one case phys- ical, in the other case metaphysical. Nothing is more painful than to find oneself gazing through glass that ob- scures half the Light available, and uothing so detracts either from the interior or exterior appearance of a res- idence, whatever its pretensions, as dull looking windows. It is imptl4•tant to recollect also that the best effects in window cleaning are not always obtained by those who work hardest or longest at the task. Often, with plenty of will, the window cleaner may fail through lack of right direction. This particularly applies where the effort is being expended over old window panes. Glass can never be rubbed even in the slightest degree without becoming worn down in a ratio proportionate to the amount of energy expended over the operation and the nature of the cleansing medium employed. Thus, if very clean leathers and water alone are used, the wear will ,be so trifling as not to be palpable in a hun- dred years. If, however, grimy dusters are used, the dirt imbedded in them will rub down and scratch the glass in no time. Those who know anything about photography will materially ap- preciate thls because the delicate glass lenses necessary to that science are ground to the desired curves and shapes by a method not very dissimi- lar. It is obvious that the more scientific the means adopted for cleaning glass windows the better and brighter will be the effect, for worn glass can never be satisfactory, for the scratches will hold the dirt. A mixture which gives glistening re- sults is composed of olive oil, one ounce; ammouia, one ounce; lime, two ounces, and water, one ounce. This should make a thick paste, and water and ammonia may be added until the required consistency is attained. The paste is to be smeared over the glass and the windows cleaned In the usual way with hot water and the customary clean leathers and cloths. Dry whit- ing is an excellent polish for glass and may be employed after the paste and washing or even where the labor of the paste is considered too great. Occasionally dust, caked by the pres- ence of atmospheric moisture, hardens in the corners of the sash. This should be removed by a narrow bladed, sharp pointed wooden knife, which could be fashioned out of a piece of firewood. Sometimes paint or putty disfigures the margins of the panes. Dissolve some crude bicarbonate of potash in hot water and saturate the paint ad- hering to the glass with this. It should remain on until nearly dry. Then re- move it with a woolen cloth.

Decorative Use of Glass Toweling. Ordinary linen toweling can be made sufficiently decorative for many uses other than its original use by working groups of curving stitches at the inter- sections of the squares. Flax thread matching the color of the check or plaid may be used, or a harmonizing color may be employed. Three curved lines on each side and one central up- right give a good effect, says The. La- dies' World. Glass toweling embroid- ered as suggested will make a pleasing top border for a plain linen curtain for the windows in summer or for a linen portiere. Eggs With Fresh Tomatoes. Melt a tablespoonful of butter. Have ready a cupful of fresh tomatoes, peel- ed and cut into small pieces. Put these into the butter and let them cook for three or four minutes, or, until they soften. When this stage is reached, stir to six eggs that have been broken Into a bowl and beaten just enough to mix the whites and yolks well.

Carbonated Water to Relieve Hun- ger. Water charged with carbonic acid gas—in other words, soda water—is now prescribed as a palliative for hun- ger, especially for an abnormal sense of hunger due to disease, says The Practical Druggist. Carbonic acid gas has the singular property of lessening the sense of hunger and may profitably be remembered in dealing with cases of diabetes, in which bulimia (abnor- mal hunger) is a prominent symptom. The seat of hunger is found in the so- lar plexus. By the use of water charg- ed with carbonic acid gas the branches of the solar plexus distributed through the mucous membrane of the stomach are influenced in such a way that the abnormal irritation of the plexus, which is the foundation for the raven- ous hunger often present in diabetes and certain forms of indigestion, may be greatly mitigated, if not wholly ap- peased. Water charged with carbonic acid gas may likewise be employed with advantage in many cases of hy- perpepsia in which there is a sensa- tion present in the stomach described by the patient as a gnawing sensation, "goneness," emptiness, etc. We generally are mach more ready pie.

Man seems to have no instinctive knowledge of injurious plants from their appearance, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Many of a poisonous nature have purple flowers, and early educa- tion has made some people suspicious of this color, but there is no native instinct that warns them against such risks. Children play with the poison- ous foxglove, monkshood and deadly nightshade and display no natural fear of their dangerous properties, while such plants as the dropwort, hemlock and fool's parsley are as at- tractive to the eye as the harmless parsnip and carrot, which they closely resemble. Man has, however, an in- stinctive dislike to the taste of nearly all poisonous plants. A large number of them are noted for their bitterness, a quality that seems repulsive to all children, and is only acquired in things wholesome by adults after experience. Some plants it would be almost impos- sible to eat, as the nux vomica or strychnine, with its acrid taste, and the monkshood, or aconite, from the tingling of tongue and lips that it causes. The flavor of prussic acid in laurel leaves and in the bitter almond seems to suggest danger, but this is the result of education. While the sense of smell guides many of the herbivorous animals in their choice, we find that this helps man but little, although it is said that all the poison- ous toadstools have a disagreeable odor. Electric Heating, Extended experience with electric heating has only tended to increase the number of its palpable advantages, says the Chicago Record. Especially is this the case in laundry work. In many of the larger laundries electric flatirons are now used exclusively. In addition to the ordinary laundry requirements these irons are being used to a consid- erable extent for finishing off dresses, blouses, etc., in dye works. The ad- vantage of electric irons for work of this description is apparent, as the ma- terials ironed are often of a very dell- cate and expensive nature and cleanli- ness and perfect control over the heat of the iron are of the first importance. In one installment of 200 irons used for this special purpose it has been found that the general cost of working is much below that of gas irons. The chief advantages of electric Irons are: They are always ready for use and they are very clean. In the case of gas irons very often a dress which has been thoroughly cleaned and is being Ironed for the last operation receives a smut of dirt from the gas iron which necessitates lts being cleaned egain. Laundry proprietors find, furthermore, that the work turned out by the fac- tory hands when using electric irons is far in excess of the output from gas irons, and the piecework rate can con- sequently be dropped. It Is also found that the heat from an electrically heat- ed laundry roll can be controlled to such a nicety that exceptionally fine work can be relied on. Another form of heater Is the gauffering iron, large numbers of which are used in laun- dries and dye works. These beaters consist simply of an electrically heated tube into which the gauffering irons to be heated are placed. They are very convenient, as, besides being always ready for use, they can stand on the workman's bench without any risk from fire. Deserved Tribute. Chicago's chief of pplice says he would rather have a good, well trained newspaper man for detective service than the usual police officers Who act as detectives. As a matter of fact the newspaper reporter does more good de- tective work every day in the year than the average member of a city de- tective force, but the public does not is a rule recognize the obligation.— Omaha Bee. A GARDEN SEAT. An Agreeable Place In Which to En- joy Summer Afternoons. To those amateur woodworkers who take a delight in adding little comforts and ornaments to their gardens is pre- sented a sketch of a garden seat which is intended to surround the trunk of a fairly large tree. The usual circular board supported by props underneath is so common that even if it were dec- orative or comfortable, which it is not, some newer form would be preferable. The usage to which a seat of this kind is subject both from weather and wear and tear is rough, therefore the lines of the suggestion are sturdy and the wood thick. For the arms inch boards will prob- ably be suitable, and. although -the flat pieces wM1ch forst the' sat might be thinner, it will perhaps be best to make them equrlly thick with the arms. The upright supports, of course, are much thicker, as also the pieces which sup- port the seat underneath. Inch boards will probably do for the back. As to the construction, the first thing necessary will be to select eight pieces of suitable square cut uprights. These will be cut down to the required length and will then be chamfered in the way shown in the illustration. The knobs above the uprights at the back could be turned if a lathe is at hand or could probably be cut out roughly with the chisel. When these standards are pre- pared, the next thing to do will be to join them together by means of othe>' A PLEASING GARDEN SEAT. pieces of wood, one running from each outside support to the correspouding standard against the tree, others join- Ing the four standards which -abut on the tree and other longer ones again joining the four outside standards. The upper surface of ail these pieces will be made exactly on a level, and the junctions might be fitted in each case by means of a dowel. This process will also be suitable for the fixing in position of the wooden brackets underneath. Before, of course. all these are glued up or fixed in any other way which is selected it will be necessary to insert the wooden backs of the seats. The cutting of these will be quite simple. The lower rail in the back had better not be in one piece with the other part, but cut separately and then joined up. When this framing is complete, and it will entail one other thing—viz, the placing in position of the flat arms—the flat pieces for the seat will have to be put on. To mention one of the most pleasant points of this arrangement, the arms are made wider at the ends, so as to be able to carry a cup -and saucer or pipe or book or anything else which requires putting aside for a moment. Green of a dark hue would probably be the paint selected. A lead color would not be unsuitable, but it will not be wise to select any bright hue, and so enter Into competition with the colors of the Sowers around. Beau Bruaimel Repriatanded.

Bridge Builders' Fright. Bridge building is a perilous busi- ness, and no insurance company will take any risk on the lives of super- structure workers. There is one horri- ble sensation known to superstructure workers. It is something like stage fright. "I know once," said one of them, "when I wasn't up more than 140 feet, a sudden feeling came over me that I couldn't get down. I looked down, and there was a swift tide swirling around the edges of the piers. It seem- ed to me I should surely be killed. I clasped both arms around the beam on which I was working and lay there, just clinging to it, for 20 minutes. Luck- ily for me, the foreman, who was near me, saw what was the matter and had sense enough not to speak to me. If he had, I know I should certainly have fallen off. He kept on working, and I clung helplessly to the beam. Finally, in a gruff voice, he growled at me: 'Say, git out o' there! I want to put a rivet there.' And I, obedient to an instinct of duty, found myself moving along. The feeling passed away as I did move and didn't come back." "When I was in Peru building bridges," said an engineer, "I did not lose my head at work, but I more than once woke up during the night hang- ing to the sides of the bed in despera- tion of fear to keep from falling in a nightmare."—Boston Herald. All Fools' Day. The custom of playing pranks on April fools' day probably bad its origiu in France, the first nation to begin the new year Jan. 1 instead of March 25. Before the change April 1 was the day when the merrymaking of the New Year's celebration culminated in the paying of gifts and visits in return for those already bestowed. When the re- formed calendar in 1564 made the 1st of January the beginning of the new year, April 1 was the time for pre- tended gifts and visits of mock cere- mony to make fools of those who had forgotten the change in dates. The Romans bad a holiday similar in character to this, although not coming at the same time of year, the satur- nalia, and in Hindustan the feast of the Huli, on March 31, has for its chief diversion the sending of people on fruitless errands. In Scotland they have a trick for April fools' day which never grows stale. If a fellow can be found simple enough to undertake it, he is given a note to carry to a certain person. He reads it and says it is not for hi -n, but that he is to go to—naming another man—and from there he is sent to an- other and so on until the bearer grows tired or sees a light. The note con- tains the lines: This 1* the flat of Apriie; Hunt the gowk another mile. Egg Superstitions, There are many superstitions about the egg. In Scotland and Ireland chil- dren are taught by their nurses to crush the shell after eating an egg or to push the spoon through the bottom In the form of a cross, showing a lin- gering relic of the once general super- stitious bel'ef that witches lived in eggshells and made boats of them, casting spells upon the household. In Italy it was believed that an egg laid by a white hen in a new nest on Easter day would cure pains in the head or stomach; that broken in a vineyard it would prevent its suffering from hall or similarly would save a field from frost, and its possession gave one the power to see witches. It was also believed that an egg laid or Good Friday, thrown on the fire, woul extinguish it, while the devil would be killed if shot with an egg laid on Christmas.—Self Culture Magazine. Small kindnesses, small courtesies, small considerations, habitually prac- ticed in our social intercourse, give a greater charm to the character than the display of great talents and accom• ollahma>as. ESCAPED FROM JAIL. THE CLi?VER SCHEME THAT WAS WORKED BY ONE CROOK. He Wanted a Certain Book, and He Got lt, Thanks to a Benevolent Le- dy, and Its Title Proved to Be Pe- culiarly Appropriate. "The recent escape from the parish prison," said a secondhand bookseller on the old side who has almost as many reminiscences as he has vol- umes, "reminds me of a very curious case of jail delivery in which I was an accessory before the fact. I was never arrested for it, but don't ob- ject to telling you the story. "One day in the summer of 1895 a good looking, well dressed man strolled Into the shop and said he wanted to get something that would interest itis old mother, whom he described as very religious and fond of antique books. "We picked out a dozen or so togeth- er, Fox's 'Book of Martyrs,"'Pilgrim's Progress,' Mather's 'Sermons of Occa- sion,' Pusey'a 'Daniel the Prophet' and among others a quaint, massively bound volume called 'The Friend In Affliction.' They were all interesting old copies, but my caller told me he would like to submit them to his moth- er before closing the purchase and of- fered to leave a $50 bill as security. "That was agreeable to me, and he carried away the lot. Next day he re- turned and brought back three or four of the books, among them 'The Friend In Affliction,' which he remarked laugh- ingly had given his mother the blues. The others he paid for, and I have nev- er seen him again from that day to this. "Almost a week after his visit, how- ever, a thin, prim, precise, elderly lady, a typical spinster from head to toe, came in one afternoon and began look- ing over the shelves. Presently she ran across the same old 'Friend In Af- fliction' that had fared so badly in the other trade, and, much to my gratifi- cation, she purchased it on the spot. It was exactly the thing, she said, to give consolation to an unfortunate per- son of her acquaintance who was then in great trouble. I was glad to get rid of the book and let her have it for a couple of dollars. "Fully a month afterward I was amazed to receive a visit from a big, burly man, who introduced himself as a detective, produced 'The Friend In Affliction' from a valise and asked me what I knew about it. "The book had suffered since I saw it last. One of its thick covers was rip- ped open, and sticking inside was a small steel file. The story the detective loaf site Mas certainly extraordinary. "It seems that a noted northern crook had been in jail in a small town up the country on a charge of bank burglary and being a very smooth rascal had en- listed the sympathy of a philanthropic old lady of the place who had a fad for prison reform. He persuaded her that he had thoroughly repented, and she used to visit him regularly and bring him tracts and delicacies. "Among other things he told her that while broke in New Orleans he had sold all of his belongings, including a keepsake from his mother—a volume called 'The Friend In Affliction.' He gave her my address as the place where he had left the precious relic and worked on her feelings to such an extent that she promised to secure the book for him the first time she visited the city. "How she discovered and purchased it you already know. On her return she carried it straight to the jail, and while ordinarily all gifts for prisoners were closely examined, this lady's high char- acter made such precaution seem un- necessary and she passed in the volume without question. "A few days later the turnkey found a barred window neatly sawed and the bird flown. He also found 'The Friend In Affliction' lying on the floor, and in one of the massive covers were several saws and the file I have mentioned. Of course the philanthropic old lady was immediately questioned, and her hysterical replies led to the visit of the detective, but nothing ever came of the quest. The fugitive is supposed to have left on an outbound steamer—at any rate he was never caught. "What about my first customer, did you ask? Oh, he was undoubtedly the pal who planted the saws."—New Or- leans Times -Democrat. Mall Shirt of a Dervish Warrior. The shirt is made of rings, every ring from a piece of steel wire 13/4 inches long and about one -sixteenth of an inch thick. The ends of the piece of wire are flattened out, holes are punch- ed through them, one end is turned on to the other, and they are fastened to- gether by a small rivet. Every ring connects four others. The wire differs somewhat in thickness, not by design seemingly 90 as to make one part of the shirt stronger than another, but from material of uniform thickness running short. In parts where the rings are free to jingle together they are worn very thin. Round the neck is a band of three thicknesses of red leather, stiff like the stock worn for- merly in our army. It is 2% inches high and on the outside is decorated with ornamental lines like toolings made by a bookbinder. — Notes and Queries. Sunflowers For Malaria.

It retains certain broad chs ':s which make it recog- niza.,.,. , . u under such odd names as the "gentle correction" and the "new delight." A curious description of it under the name of "coqueluche" is found in the diary of Pierre de L'Es- toile in the time of Henry III of France, as follows: "The coqueluche at Paris, year 1580. —From the 2d day to the 8th day of June there fell sick at Paris 10.000 persons of an illness having the form of a rheum or catarrh, which they call the 'coqueluche.' This illness seizes you with a pain in the head, stomach and loins and a lassitude throughout the body, and it persecuted the whole kingdom of France while the year last- ed, so that once having come hardly anybody in a town or village or house escaped. "The best remedy the doctors found was to make the sick abstain from wine. To some they ordered bleeding and rhubarb, for others cassia, and finally they found it best to keep the sick in bed and allow them little to eat and drink. They say at Paris that of this 'coqueluche' there were dead at Rome, in less than three months, more than 10,000 persons." Gargling the Throat. If one is to really do good by gar- gling—that is, if one is to insure that the fluid shall reach the posterior wall of the pharynx—the nose must be held and the head must be well thrown back while performing the gargling process. By gargling In the usual way only the anterior surface of the uvula and soft palate and the base of the tongue are reached. But by holding the nose and throwing the head well back when gargling the medicament reaches every surface of the .pharynx. very effectively. The comparative value of the two methods can be tested by painting the posterior surface of the pharynx care- fully with a strong solution of methy- lene blue and then letting the patient gargle with water in the usual way, when it will be found that the water ejected will be clear and unstained; then let him gargle again, holding the nose and throwing his head well back, when the ejected fluid will be found stained, and an Inspection of the pharynx will show that the blue has been washed away. This is a thing worth remembering, for many observers have maintained that gargling is not only useless ns a method of predication, but is qui! in- effectual even as a means of eleensing the pharynx.—Charlotte Medical Jour- nal. A Famous Kentucky Hotel. The Phmnix hotel is in one sense the oldest hotel in the whole western coun- try, for it has, with varying changes. continued to exist ever since the year 1800. It was here that Aaron Burr lodged in 1806 while engaged in his daring conspiracy to make himself the head of a new empire and was here met and welcomed by Berman Bien- nerhassett, the cultured but unfortu- nate Irishman he had, so completely fascin.:teal. Here, as far back as Jet fe:•sou's administration, Democrats and Federalists, in knee buckled breeches, ruffled shirts and dangling cues, talked redbot politics. It was the scene of a sumptuous dinner to Lafayette, and later was the stopping place of the wi' lexical) chieftain General Santa Anna. During the civil war, while Lexington was held by the Confeder- ates, It was the headquarters of Gener- als Bragg and Kirby Smith and before the struggle ended sheltered General Grant. President Arthur has also been its guest. -1 ,xington (Ky.) Observer. Jack Was Glad Too. A Sall Lake City paper reports that a tall, gaunt woman, with ginger hair and a somewhat fierce expression of countenance, lately carne to the county clerk of Boxelder county, Utah. "You're the man that keeps the mar- riage books, ain't you?" she asked. "Yes, ma'am," be answered. "What book do you wish to see?" "Kin you find out it Jack Peters was married?" Search developed the name of John Peters, for whose marriage a license had been issued two years before. "I thought so," said the woman. "Married Lize Waters, didn't he?" "The license is issued for a marriage with Eliza Waters." "Yep. Well, I'm Lize. I thought I'd ought to come in and tell you that Jack Peters has escaped." Bet and Wager. "What's the difference between a bet and a wager?" asked the man who thinks there are too many words in the English language. A bet," said the friend who always wears a dress coat after 6 o'clock, "is something you make with a man, which has to be paid, no matter who loses. A wager is something more re- fined. It's made with a woman and is not considered collectable unless she wins."—Washington Star. Peculiar. Professor Simon J.

"That's peculiar," replied Professor Brown quickly. "Now, do you know, I cannot stand sitting."

They ray this life4e-barren, drear and cold, Ever the same sad song was sung of old, Ever the same long, weary tale is told, And to our lips is held the cup of strife And yet—a little love ean sweeten life. They say our hands may grasp but joys destroyed, Youth has but dreams and age an aching void, Whose Dead sea fruit long, long ago has cloyed, Whose night with wild tempestuous storms is rite, And yet a little hope can brighten lite. They say we fling ourselves in wild despair Amid the broken treasures scattered there, Where all is wreaked, where all once promised fair, And stab ourselves with sorrow's two edged knife, And yet a little patience strengthens life. (s it, then, true, this taste of hitter grief, Of [portal anguish finding no relief? Lo, midst the winter shines the laurel's leaf; Three angels share the lot of human strife, Three angels glorify the path of lite. Love, hope and patience cheer us on our way; Love, hope and patience forth our spirit's stay; Love, hope and patience watch us flay by day And bid the desert bloom with beauty vernal Until the earth fades into the eternal. —F.

Ralph Gardon strode moodily up an down his workshop, which was lettere with the odds and ends of machines tt ltii'L represented the ruins of a but Bred castles in the air. He was alway inventing, was Gardon; always spent ing days and nights over the ruanufa lure of some wonderful machine or oil er which was to revolutionize th world and make him famous, only t find after all his labor some irrenledi• hie flaw in his plan which rendered th completion of the' machine an itnposs bility or prevented it working. gazed He aroaud Elm on the gaun skeleton in wood and brass of pas hopes and clinched his hand fiercely. "A failure! Everything in my life 1 a miserable failure!" he cried aloud a he paced the floor. It was not the breakdown of an ordi nary invention, however, that wrun the hitter words from him. He bad grown accustomed to waking in th morning with an idea worth millions i his head and going to bed at night wit the knowledge that it was not worth Million match sticks and bad becom quite philosophical over the failure o his plans for money making. But this time it was a different arrangement that had broken down, an arrangement by which the inventor hoped to make himself a home and children, and the mainspring, in the shape of Deborah Dene, the woman be loved, bad failed bite. In his clinched hand he held thein letter she had sent loabruptly an- nouncing that site wished to break off their engagement. There was a revolver lying on the in- ventor's bench which had thrice had its bright barrel pointed toward hi's fore- head, but three times the man's pur- pose had failed him at the decisive mo- ment. The fact of his cowardice added to the man's irritation against himself. "I fail in everything that would make life worth living and cannot even kill myself," he went on in his despairing soliloquy. "Must everything I try prove a failure?" He took up the revolver once more with sudden determination and, bold- ing the barrel between his teeth, pulled the trigger. There was a click, but nothing more. He had forgotten, after all, to load the thing. He had failed once more to kill him- self, and the nervous shock lie had ex- perienced bad made it impossible for him to repeat the attempt. He must think of something, be told himself, which would make the last act easier for him. Ile was determined on sui- cide and had committed himself by in- forming Deborah of his intentions, but when the single movement of a finger was in a moment to make all the difference between life and death his physical courage deserted him and his finger became powerless. He must prepare some plan for killing himself in which the exact moment of his death would be decided by chance or the action of machinery. The idea pleased him by suggesting the need of invention, a need which his mind was always ready to meet, and he set himself with a melancholy pleas- ure to think out the details of a killing machine which should fulfill all his re- quirements, Death must be painless and instantaneous, of course, but must act at a different moment from that at which the victim took the decisive ac- tion which would make his fate certain and unchangeable. He drew out a plan rapidly, making rough sketches of the mechanical details on the back of De- borah Dene's fatal letter. Then he went down to his forge on the floor below and worked hard at the manufacture of the instrument he had invented. It was finished by midnight, and in a grim sort of way Ralph Gar - don was proud of his work. The;! f3�vention was in the form of a dynamite bomb which would explode by the slow action of an acid eating through a barrier of cement. One of his past failures had left him with the dynamite on his hands. It was inclos- ed in a carefully welded iron case join- ed strongly, so that once the case was closed it could only be opened by the exercise of considerable force. It was connected as strongly to an iron chain which the inventor fastened around Ills waist, joining the two ends with a Yale padlock. When he had locked it, he laid the key on his anvil and with a stroke of his hammer beat it out of shape. To get away from his anvil and tools, with the chance they still offered him of changing his mind and breaking the chain round his waist, as well as to save the empty house from needless in- jury, the inventor put on Itis hat and walked out into the country road that stretched in front of his lonely dwell- ing. He walked along rapidly, anxious while his determination remained firm to place as great a distance as possible between himself and any chance of un- deing his handiwork. There was not a soul abroad, of course, at such an hour, and Gardon had no fear of injuring anybody but himself by the explosion that now he was expecting every mo- ment. When the road took him near d d y 1- s 1- c- 1- e 0 , e 1- s s g e n h a e any liabitriilon, he made a wide circuit to keep it outside the range of the dy- namite bomb round his waist. With the same thoughtfulness for others he I stopped when after about half an hour's walk he caught sight of the fig- ure of a woman approaching hint. Ile was like a man with the plague, whom It was dangerous to approach, and Ralph was about to turn precipitately and get out of the woman's way when something in her figure struck him as familiar, The night was a tnoonlight one, and in the middle of the road where she was walking it was as clear as noonday. A second glance told him that his suspicion was right. It was Deborah Deno hurrying along the road. In the complete surprise of seeing her in such a spot at such an hour the thought of his invention went clear out of his head. It was due to go off at any moment now, but Ralph was so as- tonished that he actually forgot its ex- istence- He hurried forward. "Deb," be said, "what are you doing here?" For answer the girl flung her arms round his neck and burst into tears. She had hurried as fast as the train could bring her to hint immediately on receiving his letter with its hint of sui- cide and bad walked from the nearest station, three miles farther up the road, expecting to reach his house only in time to find him a corpse. She sobbed for five minutes on his breast without being able to speak a word in the relief of finding him alive. The letter which he had received and which she was supposed to have writ- ten she had never heard of except through his reproaches. It was a for- gery, no doubt, concocted by some spiteful acquaintance of his or hers to ruin their happiness. She loved him with her whole heart and soul, she sobbed, and could never dream of giv- ing him up. It seemed to poor Ralph Gardon, who loved her more than his life, that the gates of paradise had opened. To find that all the mental agony through which he had passed had been without pause or basis made him feel the hap- piest man in the world. It was actually not until he clasped his sweetheart in his arms with every doubt and suspicion removed that the consequent pressure of the bomb against his flesh reminded him how in a few minutes at most it would blow him to atoms. * • • S • * - This story was told to me as true by a friend of mine who knew the interest I take in the subject of suicide. He stopped when he had reached this point in his narrative, as if it was concluded. "And were they both killed?" I asked with interest. "Oh, no. They were married shortly afterward. Gardon- gave up trying to invent from that night and became pretty successful when he found his real forte—tale writing." "But the bomb?" I asked. I was not interested in the man's subsequent ca- reer. My friend pretended to look sur- prised. "My dear fellow, you don't think a machine could possibly work when Ralph Gardon had invented and made it!"—Chicago News. Agassiz at the Saranac. The whole Saranac community was on the qui vive, says W. J. Stillman in The Atlantic, not to see Emerson or Lowell, of whom they knew nothing, but Agassiz, who had become famous in the commonplace world through having refused not long before an offer from the emperor of the French of the keepership of the Jardin des Plantes and a senatorship if he would come to Paris and live. Such an incredible and disinterested love for America and sci- ence in our hemisphere had lifted Agassiz into an elevation of popularity which was beyond all scientific or po- litical dignity, and the selectmen of the town appointed a deputation to wel- come him and his friends to the region. A reception was accorded, and they came, having taken care to provide themselves with an engraved portrait of the scientist to guard against a per- sonation and waste of their respects. The head of the deputation, after hav- ing carefully compared Agassiz to the engraving, turned gravely to his follow- ers and said, "Yes, it's him," and they proceeded with the same gravity to shake hands in their order, ignoring all the other luminaries. When a nachelor Pays Calls. An unmarried man, in calling at a house where there are a mother and faugbter or any married woman and other women relatives, leaves one card for the host and hostess, one for the daughters and one for any guest who may be staying with them. No matter how many there may be in the family, he should leave no more than three cards. Whatever the terms on which he may stand with the brothers or oth- er masculine members of the family, be leaves no cards for them at the time of making his general call on the fam- ily. The exception is the head of the house, and he leaves a card for him aft- er he has had a call from him or its so- cial equivalent, an Invitation.—Leah Lanceford In Woman's Home Compan- ion. A Newsboy's Triumph. A pretty young lady dropped her dainty lace handkerchief at a State street corner the other afternoon. A dapper young man and a newsboy both saw it drop and simultaneously made a grab for it, and each got a corner. "Let go; I've got it," whispered the fellow to the boy. "Let go yourself!" shouted the newsy. "I've got it." While the man was apparently whis- pering a bribe to the boy the latter tNd- denly jerked the handkerchief out of his hands and handed it to the smiling girl, with the remark: "Dat guy wanted to make a mash, I guess, but I caught Ile snuffer first." The crowd laughed, and the "guy" suddenly moved on.—Chicago News. A Long Wait. Thomas Nelson Page's entrance into literature was discouraging.

Whenever a chief came on board the first thing he was sure to admire was the proportions of our gallant IInt to P g and the chief would feel him and smack his own lips and turn up his own eyes at the prospect of so much fatness—going to waste, as one may say. These attentions our skipper very much disliked. Well, one day both boats were ab- sent trading, and it fell suddenly calm. "The old inan" (the forecastle name for a skipper) and self were the only whites on board. The strong currents caught the vessel and carried her on g to the rocks, and we could get no bot- tom a hundred yards from the shore. 1 The underflow from the waves kept her from striking. The natives gath- ered on the cliffs, as ravens to a car- cass, waiting for the catastrophe. I took off all my- clothes, and we waited and waited for some two hours, the natives recognizing the captain and telling hint plainly they would eat him at last. The strain on our nerves may be imagined. At last the captain's gave way. "Goodby, G—, old fellow," he said. "Those beasts will have me In the ovens at once. You may escape— you are thin. If you see my old girl again, tell her I was thinking of her at the last," This was said with a gulp and a quiver in the voice. But just then the two boats came round the point, having at last heard our stern guns, and we were saved.— "Among the Man Eaters," by John Gaggln. Btryfag a Spanish K1=g. Strange and almost weird is the sere- - monial which accompanies the burial of Spanish kings. The pantheon, or royal Lomb, is at the palace of the r Escurial, situated 3,000 feet above the level of the pea and some distance from the capital. Only kings, queens and mothers of -kings are buried there, the coffins of the kings lying on one side, those of the queens on the other. After lying in state for several days in the throneroom in Madrid an enor- mous procession is formed, accompany- ing the body to the Escurial. A halt is made on the way, and the corpse rests there for one night. In the morning the lord high cham- berlain stands at the side of the coffin and says in loud tout=s, "Is your majes- ty pleased to proceed on your jour- ney?" After a short silence the pro- cession moves on and winds up to the grand portal of the palace. These doors are never opened except to ad- mit a royal personage, dead or alive. When the casket containing the re- mains is at last placed in the vault, the chamberlain unlock it and, kneel- ing down, calls with a loud voice: "Senor! Senor! Senor!" After a solemn pause he cries again: "His majesty does not reply. Then it is true, the king Is dead!" He then locks the coffin, gives the key to the prior and, taking his staff of office, breaks it in pieces and flings them at the casket. The booming of the guns and the tolling of bells an- nounce to the nation that the king has gone to his final resting place. Where It Rains Frogs, Every once in awhile stories are brought out about extraordinary show- ers of fish, of bloody snow, etc„ the latest thing being of a ship captain far out on the Atlantic who ran into a ,dust soshower heavyhe hadto h set !s crew shoveling the dust from the decks when the weight began to get danger- ous. To this be there added a tale: It rains frogs in Arizona. The old timers believe there is no doubt of it, though they cannot explain whence the frogs were originally "lifted." But this much is straight—let there be a sum- mer rain along the line of the southern Pacific in southwestern Arizona, and behold the next morning every little pool has a myriad of little lean green frogs with marvelous croaking powers. They don't wait for nightfall like their more civilized brothers elsewhere, but keep up the music by day as by night. They live where water comes only about once a year. They can't live over the interim under the sun baked black rocks. They assuredly haven't copped from the Colorado river, and they are all of a size to boot. If they didn't come from the ground or from the river, they must have come from the skies. And that's what the Hassayampers firmly believe,—Arizona Graphic. No Chance For Him. Three negro lads wet on a street cor- ner one afternoon, and by some queer freak of Providence each had just 15 cents. This was considerable for them, and, being so unfortunate as to have no "craps," it required much serious deliberation to arrive at just the best plan for spending it. Finally one suggested that they place their little capital in a pool and then, each in turn, guess what was good to eat, the best guesser to take all of the money. This plan met with hearty approval, as each one had ideas on that subject, and the 45 cents was soon in a pile. Then the first one guessed. "Possum, sweet taters an water- melon," he said. At this the second one reached down and began picking up his nickels, but the third stopped him with: "Hol' on dare! Let dat money 'lone!" To which the second replied: "You think I'ze goin to guess agains' that fool nigger when he's done said all der is good ter eat?"—Types. The Stupid Thing. "Do you think the shortest route to a man's heart is through his stomach?" asked Miss Gabby as she prepared to exhibit her skill with the chafing dish to young Dr. Powers. "Oh, dear, no!" exclaimed the young physician, swelling up with the con- sciousness of his superior knowledge. "The shortest way to the heart is by way of an incision through the left subciavial section of the thoracic parie- ties."

A Prise Thought, A teacher of music in one of the pub- lic schools of the south desired to im- press the pupils with the meaning of the signs "1" and "ff" in a song they were about to sing. After explaining that "f" meant forte he said, "Now, children, if 'f' means forte, what does 'ff' mean?"

A few days ago a well known Wash- ington lady, being unexpectedly bereft of her kitchen assistance, advertised for a colored woman capable of per- forming general housework. The first caller in response to the ad- vertisement was a mulatto damsel, be- decked with ribbon and finery. Front her airs and graces site might have been a graduate of a seminary. She announced that she had noticed the ad- vertisement and was desirous of se- curing employment. "Are you a good cook?" inquired the lady of the house. "No, indeed. I don't cook," was the reply. "Are you a good washer and ironer?" was the next query. "I wouldn't do washing and ironing; it's too bard on the hands," declared the caller. "Can you sweep?" the housewife then wanted to know. "No," was the answer, and it was a positive one. "I'm not strong enough for that." "Well, in the name of goodness, what can you do?" said the lady of the house, exasperated. The placid reply was: - "I dusts."—Washington Star. Negro Eloquence. Negroes sometimes express them selves as felicitously as do the Irish. Here is a case copied from a Texas paper. Some time ago one of Texas' widely known statesmen, who is now dead, was passing along a street in Dallas, when an old colored man, who had once belonged to him, approached, took off his hat and passed a hand over his white wool as he asked: "Marster, gin de old man 50 cents." "Ilan, you are a robber." "How?" asked the astonished darky, opening his eyes, around which rough shod age had walked. "Didn't you see me put my hand in my pocket?" "Yes, sale." "Well, you old rascal, you rob me of the pleasure of giving you money with- out being asked," The old man received a dollar. BoW- Ing almost to the ground, while tears came out and coursed -through the aged prints around his eyes, be replied: "Marster, wed, wid such a heart as you hab and wid Abraham and Isaac and de Lord on your side, I don't see what can keep you out of heaven." The Hog. No other animal has been more modi- fied by civilization and none reverts more quickly to the original wild type than the hog. Three • generations of running wild suffice to turn the smooth, round, short suouted razorback or hazel splitter, thin, lank, leggy, lop- eared, sharp snouted an Ishmael in bristles, running like a deer, if running be possible, fighting as only a wild hog can fight when battle is imperative. The tusks, which have been half oblit- erated in the process of civilization, get back size and strength. At a year old they are formidable, at 2, murder- ous; at 3 or 5, more deadly than a sword. They afford a certain index of age up to 0 years, but are common- ly broken in fights long before that time. Wild boars are very ill temper- ed and, when worsted in fighting, often revenge themselves by ripping the bark from trees as high as they can reach. Pat's Ready Wit. An Irishman who was traveling through London met two Englishmen, who thought they would play a joke on him. One of them said: "Good morning, Pat! Did you bear the devil is dead?" The Irishman put his hand in his pocket and gave each a copper. They asked what this was for, to which he replied: "'Tis always a custom in ould Ire- land, when the father is dead, to give something to the poor orphans!" Tommy's Lunch.

Consolation, indiscreetly pressed upon us when we are suffering under afflic- tion, only serves to increase our pain ity." and to render our grief more poignant. Brow Exleresses Drop Men. • "While coning from Chicago last week." said a prominent business man to a Mail and Express reporter, "I no- ticed c a peculiar railroad custom which interested me considerably. I hap- pened to be in tire last car of the lim- ited when the train stopped in a deso- late spot between stations. The rear brakeman, of course, dropped off and Went down the track with a flag to warn any train that might be following us. In a moment or two we started up again, but minus the brakeman. I wondered at this, but was still more surprised later (Akio see the same thing repeated when we were obliged to stop on account of a threatened hot box. Upon inquiry I found that this was the custom on fast trains. 'Some- times, if we have lots of time,' said the conductor, 'we whistle for the men to come in, but in mose cases we leave them to be picked up by the next train or to walk to the nearest station.' "'But isn't that rather hard on the men?' I asked. 'Oh, it's all part of the business,' he replied. 'I have known of cases where men dropped off in this way were frozen to death or waylaid by tramps, but the railroads have to make the time, and that's why it is done. I have seen trains running with only a conductor aboard them at times because the rest of the crew had been lett behind in just this way"' Vanity and Curiosity. Vanity seems to spring eternal in the masculine breast, and the less it has to feed upon the more it thrives ap- parently. The other day a tramp of high degree in vagrancy stopped before the win- dow of a house at which two young women were standing. He was tat- tered and torn and melancholy looking to such an extent that he aroused a feeling of deep sympathy in the hearts of the maidens who looked d 0 00 down upon him as he stood gazing intently at some object he held in his hand. "I wonder what he has," said the sentimental one of the two as she peer- ed down on him. "A lock of some wo- man's hair, I shouldn't wonder." "More likely a coin he's found; he looks pleased," rejoined the practical one scoffingly as she maneuvered for a position that would reveal the object to her. But it was neither, they discovered. It was just a bit of looking glass, in which the man was surveying his fea- tures with a satisfied air, that told of his entire contentment with his very rugged pbysloguomy. Which shows, as was said at the be. ginning of this story, that vanity springs eternal in the masculine breast just as curiosity does in the feminine.— Baltimore News. A Friend In Need. It happened in the early days of Aus- tralian history when bushrauging was common. A gentleman was riding along a lone- ly track through the bush when he beard loud cries for help proceeding from a neighboring grove. Arriving at the spot whence proceeded the cries, he was surprised and shocked to find a man securely tied to a tree. "What is the matter here?" he asked. "Oh, sir," replied the poor fellow, "I'm so glad you lkttve come: A few hours ago I was stuck up by bushran- gers, who rifled my pockets, and, after stealing everything I had except a bun- dle of notes in my inside breast pocket, which they fortunately overlooked, bound me to this tree and decamped." "The scoundrels!" ejaculated the newcomer. "Took everything you had except a bundle of notes in your inside pocket, eh?" "Yes, sir." "The villains! And then they tied you so tightly that you cannot escape?" "Yes, sir." "Then I'll take the notes the other fellows left!" And he dim.—London Answers. Emba ing, When the new minister, a handsome and unmarried man, made his first pas- toral call at the Fosdickt', he took lit- tle Anna up in his arms and tried to kiss her. But the child refused to be kissed. She struggled loose and ran off into the next room, where l'er moth- er was putting a few finishing touches to her adornment before going into the parlor to greet the clergyman. "Mamma," the little girl whispered, "the man in the parlor wanted me to kiss him." "Well," replied mamma, "why didn't you let him? I would if I were you." Thereupon little Anna ran back into the parlor, and the minister asked: "Well, little lady, won't you kiss me now?" "No, 1 won't," replied Anna prompt - "but mamma says she will!"—Har- per's Bazar. The Bundle Kicked. A comical story is told of an English nobleman who is shortsighted. In a railroad train, while he was sitting next to a very stout old woman, friend on the next seat accosted him. "Walt a minute," said his lordship. "n1 put this bundle of rags in the rack and you can sit here." And to the astonishment and horror of the gigantic female he caught her round the waist before he realized his mistake. Expensive Furniture. "One of the special agents of the Indian bureau is a woman, and she receives a salary of $8 a day," read Mr. Wintergreen. "She must sell a good many," com- mented Mrs. Wintergreen.

A process bas recently been perfected by which cotton is given a luster al- most equal to that of silk. Technically It is known as mercerized cotton, but It is sold under many aliases. The latest linen collars are made to pass twice around the neck like a stock. Boleros rule, but the tailors have the choice of Etons and a short jacket as well. Handkerchief waists are stylish and include bandannas and taffeta squares. Shirt waists are built of Russian lace, coarse to crudeness, and dyed al - Most to a butter tint. Crowns of foliage and brims of flow- ers fashion most fetching little toques. Tulle and straw, crinoline and chiffon, stitched in alternate lines, or the one over the other, build up many of the most tasteful broad hats. Milliners' folds and pipings of velvet, silk, satin or cloth are favored trim- mings for cloth costumes and separate garments. They are generally of a darker shade of the color of the gar- ment material. The old time fashion of scarfs with evening dress Las been revived, only we flatter ourselves that we arrange them more artistically than did our grandmothers. The pulley belt, the pulley collar and the pulley garter are three new addi- tions to the feminine wardrobe. Linen suitings with stripes of colored . silk or mercerized linen are very at- tractive for jacket costumes, being cool, light and handsome. A Bad Symptom. "Has George ever hinted that he had thought of yon as a possible wife?" asked the anxious mother. "No," replied the girl. a faraway look in her eyes, "and I'm afraid he never will " "Why," said the mother, "1 thought"— "It doesn't matter what yon thought. mamma, dear," interrupted the daugh- ter.

By the general laws of England oak, ac; and elm are "timber" if not youn- ger Man 20 years, or so old tnat a good post cannot be cut,itaten them. What constitutes "timber" varies slightly ac- cording to locality, but when a tree is proved to be "timber" a person who has only a life interest in the land it grows upon cannot cut it down unless It be on an estate cultivated solely -for the -production of salable "timber" o: unless he hasaspecial agreement giving him power to do so. A mere life ten- ant may not even cut down.trees which are not "timber," but which would at the age of 20 years attain that dignity. Botanists differ as to the poisonous nature of yew trees. There are many Instances both of their poisonous and I their harmless effect when browsed by horses and cattle, but the partially dried clippings of yew are certainly most dangerous. If a yew tree over- ! hangs a neighbor's land and his horses eat the yew without trespassing, the owner of the tree is liable to pay for any injury the horses may sustain. On the other hand, if the horses or cattle cannot browse on the tree without put- ting their heads over the fence the owner of the horses must bear the loss, for his animais.lrave trespassed.—Lon- don Answers.

The layman cannot easily realize the vast amount of material as to food and ammunition demanded by an army iu the field. A few facts and figures as to this may aid to make it more tangi- ble. Each man requires, at a mini- mum, three pounds and a half of food per day. Each animal should have at least 20 pounds of food in countries wheregr i azng Is not abundant. If we take, for purposes of estimate, only 15 pounds required to supply each animal, leaving five pounds to be gathered from the country by grazing and otherwise, we assume a quantity that may be con- sidered a minimum. An army of 150,000 men would re- quire about 50,000 animals for trans portation of artillery, camp equipment, ammunition, food, hospital and med- ical equipment. There should not be les than t an 30 000 savaryy. Thereshould shoo d not be less than 10,000 animals avail- able at all times to supply losses. This makes a total of 90,000 animals to be fed. With this as a basis we see that the daily demands would be for the men 525,000 pounds and for the horses 1,350,000 pounds, or an aggregate of 1,875,000 pounds. This is equal to something more than 836 tons per day. .---Captain Zalinskl in Harper's Weekly. Automatic Fog Horns In Spain. Automatic fog horns operated by the motion of the sea have recently Been installed off the coast of Spain. says Pearson's Magazine. The rise and fall of the buoy set a pump at Work which at every stroke forces a supply of air into an air chamber. A small engine liberates the air in regular quantities and allows it to pass upward to the fog born which produces the blast. The number and length of the blasts may be regulated as desired. Each blast contalns one or more notes, a long and a short one, or any other coin bination to make it distinctive and easily recognizable. Supposing a storm rage, the fog born will still sound the same steady blast that it produces in a calm sea, for the extra power obtain- ed from tire' waves is allowed to run to waste by means of an escape valve, • The Finger Nails. In days when superstition was more prevalent than it is now the shape and appearance of the finger nails were considered to have .reference to one's destiny. To learn the message of the finger nails it was necessary to rub them over with a compound of wax and soot and then to hold them so that the sunlight fell fully on them. Then on the horny, transparent substance certain signs and characters were sup- posed to appear, from which the future 'could be interpreted. Persons, too, having certain kinds of nails were cred- ited with the possession of certain - characteristics. Thus a man with red and spotted nails was supposed to have a hot temper, while pale, lead col- ored nails were considered to denote a melancholy temperament. Narrow nails were supposed to betray ambition and a quarrelsome nature, while round shaped nails were the distinguishing marks of lovers of knowledge and peo- ple of liberal sentiment. Conceited, narrow minded and obstinate folk were supposed to have small nails, indolent people fleshy nails and those of a gen- tle, retiring nature broad nails. The Arab's Little Game. In The Agricultural Journal of the Cape of Good Hope appears an article on the vitality of wheat from Egyptian mummy cases. It is often asserted that samples of wheat from the same crop as that which Joseph stored in Pha- raoh's a raoh's granaries has been taken from plummy wrappings and, when planted, has grown. This Is very likely erro- neous, as the Arabs have a habit of selling to tourists samples of grain which have in all likelihood come from the nearest field instead of from the ancientm to bs. Indeed In many In- stances this "mummy grain” bas been torn, and, as corn was not known until it was brought from America, the fraud is apparent. — Frail Historians of Sevres.

Still it is not always possible to have a mantel in every ,room of the house. ra es�•,aa.�- C1 onssesan ORNER MANTEL for the regular mantel Menus a chim- ney as well, alai it is only the superior class of modern houses which are sup- plied with open fireplaces in every room. It is an added expense which ,many feel they must do without • even when building a new house.' or there may not be a chimney convenient, and an extra chimney means exon money, and this perhaps is the reason why mantel dealers keep on hand a good stock of ornamental shelves with mir- rors and cabinets for decorating walls. The old fashioned mantel was of marble, either black or (white, -plain or carved, ending at the tep with a plain shelf, says Mrs. S. D. 11'I:i1uey in The Household. In many cases they were not ornamented, and today they are usually painted the color of the wood- work, which gives them the semblance of the wooden mantel now seen. It is frequently desirable to convert the plain shelf into a cabinet. This Is by no means difficult If the base Is of good style- anfl' the still' 1T ample and broad. The sketch here slibwn will give an idea of what may be done in this way. The simpler tete design the better taste will be shown, and as far as possible one should be chosen that will conform to the lines of the base and make a uniform whole which will be pleasing, and often the result is very pleasing. The design here shown is a simple one, which may be worked out in any wood to match the base, the principal expense being the beveled -Mirror, for which plain wood panels may be sub- stituted if desired. One can often make a change in an old mantel by means of a cabinet, which will be fully as deslr'able and less expense than to tear out the old mantel and replace with a new one en- tire. If there is no cabinet maker at hand, it may be ordered from any man- tel manufacturer, and in such a case a photograph and full description should accompany the order.

We draw from deep waters of sorrow Dark wrecks of old failure and fear, And out of sea silence we borrow The storm that sill never come near. Faith speeds past the footsteps of duty And halts at the door of a tomb. Thought pierces the source of all bputy And returns unto dust—'tis the doom Of each man child to stripe and to wonder, To plan for some positive gain, And only find mysteries under All life, be it pleasure or pain. 1.0, in realms of the mind there is treasure For toilers who dwell in content; There is truth that no science can measure.

Stevenson in Chicago Record. CAR FARES IN GERMANY. The Method of Collection and In- spection Presents Free Irides. '1'lle chances of evading fares on the street cars of German cities are ver, slight. When a passenger steps on a car, the conductor immediately asks where he is going and then prepares his ticket, which serves also as a re- ceipt for the fare. The preparation of a ticket consists only in detaching it from a block and punchiug it or mark- ing it with a penciL This process involves much more - work than the simple process of ring- ing up the fares, as conductors do in America, but the task is lightened by the fact that only a certain number of persons are permitted to ride on a car at the same time. The number of sit- ting and standing places is plainly marked on each car. If a car is de- signed to carry 30 persons, no more than 30 persons will be permitted on that car at the same time. When any- thing in Germany is forbidden. It is settled once for all. In order that every person who rides shall get the prescribed ticket inspect- ors are employed who spend their time in ascertaining whether the conductors are doing their duty. These inspectors step into the cars and ask the passen- gers for their tickets. They note the number of the tickets and whether they correspond with the stubs retained by the conductor. The clerk who gives out the blocki of tickets to the con- ductors notes the number of the upper- most ticket and at the return of each block collects from the conductor who returned it as many fares as there are tickets detached. The rate of fares varies from 21,2 cents to 5, according to the distance. Small children are carried for one-half fare, and any one for the sum of $2.50 may secure a ticket which entitles him to ride as much as he wishes for one month. When a ear is full, the con- ductor displays a placard bearing the word "Occupied."—Chicago Record. voo The Beat Age For Men to Marry. Edward Ilok, writing iu The Ladies' Home Jourual on "A Boy For a Hus- band." contends that "no young man under 25 -years of age Is In any sense competent to tale unto himself a wife. Before that age he is simply a boy who has absolutely nothing which lie can offer to a girl as a safe fundation for life happiness. He is unformed in his cb::racter, unsettled in his ideas, ab- solutely ignorant of the first essentials of what consideration or love for a woman no -ails. 1Ie doesn't know him- self, let alone knowing a woman. He is full of fancies, and it is his boyish nat to flit frotn one fancy to an- other. "Ile is Incapable of the affection up- on which love Is based. because be has not lived long enough to know what the feeling or even the word means. He is full of theories. each one of i wh chwhen he comes to put t [ into practice, will fail. He Is a boy pure and simple, passing through that try- ing period through which every boy must pass before he becomes a man. But that period is not the marrying time. For as his opinions of life are to change. so are his fancies of the girl be esteems as the only girl In the world to make him happy. The man of 30 rarely weds the girl whom he fancied when he was 20." A Freak of Lightning. Lightning performed a strange feat near Osceola, Pa.. during the recent thunderstorm, says the Oil City Der- rick. Three fine cows belonging to a farmer had been turned out to pasture in a field on which the new grass is al - read quite high and when the shower y q g ower came on they gathered together In one corner under some trees. There is a wire fence running close by the spot where they were standing, and a bolt of lightning was attracted to it and ran along the slender wires until the cows were reached, when it glanced off, striking the animals and killing all three instantly.

Paul Lodge Elks No. 59 is ar- ranging for an exposition and carni- val to be given in St. Paul .June 18th to 30th, Sunday excepted. The ar- rangements are on a stupendous scale. They have obtained the use of one of the 'prominent streets of the city for a distance (0 ten blocks, and will en close it with a high fence. A magnif- icent arch, covered with stag, will be erected. at the main entrance at'Ninth and Cedar streets at a cost of $2,500. There will he tutee hundred booths for a disphty of all kinds of wares, occupvnig several blocks of the street. It will by open from twelve m. until 'midnight for twelve days, and at night will be iltnminated by one hundred arc lights and two thou- sand iuc'andescent lamps. The Midway will comprise ten dis- tinct shows, all unexceptionable, and every one a gem in the way of enter- tainment. There will be the Streets of Cairo with camels, elephants, and burros for old and young to ride;. the Streets of India with marvelous juggling and other exhibitions; the Streets of All Nations; Hawaiian, Japanese, Oriental, Puerto Rico, and Filipino theatres; Haggenback's trained animal shows, etc , the whole offering an entertainment positively bewildering. The entire carnival and exposition is _iven at an exceedingly moderate expense, entrance at thy main gate being but ten cents and a similar amount for entrance to the Midway, and fen cents: for each of tine ten shows. More entertain- ment will be given than is ordinarily supplied for $10.

What constitutes "timber" varies slightly ac- cording to locality, but when a tree Is proved to be "timber" a person who has only a life interest in the land it grows upon cannot cut it down unless it be on an estate cultivated solely for the production of salable "timber" o: unless he hasaspeelal agreement giving him power to do so. A mere life ten- ant may not even cut down,trees which are not "timber," but which would at the age of 20 years attain that dignity. Botanists differ as to the poisonous nature of yew trees. There are many instances both of their poisonous and their harmless effect when browsed by horses and cattle, but the partially dried clippings of yew are certainly most dangerous. If a yew tree over- hangs a neighbor's land and his horses eat the yew without trespassing, the owner of the tree is liable to pay for any injury the bolstts may sustain. On the other hand, if the borses.or cattle cannot browse on the tree without put- ting their heads over the fence the owner of the horses must bear the loss, for his animals have trespassed.—Lon- don Answers. The Finger Nails. In days when superstition was more prevalent than it is now the shape and appearance of the finger nails were considered to have .reference : - e'+t destiny. To learn the message of the finger nails it was neieSsary to rub them over with a compound of wax and soot and then to hold them so that the sunlight fell fully on them. Then on the horny, transparent substance certain signs and characters were sup- posed to appear, from which the future could be interpreted. Persons, too, having certain kinds of nails were cred- ited with the possession of certain characteristics. Thps a man with red and spotted nails was supposed to have a hot temper, while pale, lead col- ored nails were considered to denote a melancholy temperament Narrow nails were supposed to betray ambition and a quarrelsome nature, while round shaped nails were the distinguishing marks of lovers of knowledge and peo- ple of liberal sentiment. Conceited, narrow minded and obstinate folk were supposed to have small nails, indolent people fleshy nails and those of a gen- tle, retiring nature broad nails.

It is an added expense which ,_many feel they must do without even when building a new house," or there may not be a chimney convenient, and an extra chimney means ext4;a money, and this perhaps is the reason why mantel dealers keep on hand a good stock of ornamental shelves with mir- rors and cabinets for decorating walls. The old fashioned mantel was of warble, either black or white, 'plain or carved, -ending at the top with a plain shelf, says Mrs. 8. D. Whitney Iu The Household. In many cases they were not ornamented, and today they are usually painted the color of the wood- work, which gives them the semblance of the wooden mantel now seen. It is frequently desirable to convert the plain shelf into a cabinet. This is by no means difficult if the base is of goat unci- the' s'.YF'1 $mple` and broad. The sketch here shtwn will give an idea of what may be done in this way. The simpler the design the better taste will be shown, and as far as possible one should be chosen that will conform to the lines of the base and make a uniform whole which will be pleasing, and often the result is very pleasing. The design here shown is a simple one, which may be worked out in any wood to match the base, the principal expense being the beveled- Mirror, for which plain wood panels may be sub- stituted if desired. Onecan often make a change in an old mantel by means of a cabinet, which will be fully as desirable and less expense than to tear out the old mantel and replace with a new one en- tire. If there is no cabinet maker at hand, it may be ordered from any man- tel manufacturer, and in such a case a photograph and full description should accompany the order.

The Method of Collection and In- spection P is Free Rides, 'lice chances of evading fares on the street cars of German cities are very slight. When a passenger steps on a car, the conductor immediately asks where he is going and then prepares his ticket, which serves also as a re- ceipt for the fare. The preparation of a ticket consists only in detaching It from a block and punching It or mark- ing it with a penciL This process involves much more - work than the simple process of ring- ing up the fares, as conductors do in America, but the task is lightened by the fact that only a certain number of persons are permitted to ride on a car at the same time. The number of sit- ting and standing places is plainly marked on each car. 1f a car is de- signed to carry 30 persons, no more than 30 persons will be permitted on that car at the same time. When any- thing in Germany is forbidden, It Is settledonce for all. In order that every person who rides shall get the prescribed ticket inspect- ors are employed who spend their time in ascertaining whether the conductors are doing their duty. These inspectors step into the cars and ask the passen- gers for their tickets. They note the number of the tickets and whether they correspond with the stubs retained by the conductor. The clerk who gives out the blocks of tickets to the con- ductors notes the number of the upper- most ticket and at the return of each conductor block collects from the ondn for who returned it as many fares as there are tickets detached. 'The rate' tot fares train varies tra' ^' cents to 5, according to the distance. Small children are carried for one-half fare, and any one for the sum of $2.50 may secure a ticket which entitles him to ride as much as he wishes for one month. When a car is full, the con- ductor displays a placard bearing the word "Occupied."—Chicago Record. The Best Age For Men to Marry. Edward Bok, writing in The Ladles' Home Journal on "A Boy For a Hus- band," contends that "no young man under 25 -years of age is in any sense competent to take unto himself a wife. Before that age he is simply a boy who has absolutely nothing which he can offer to a gill as a safe fundation for life happiness.

JUNE 9th. 1900; Minnesota Journalism. Henry- Kelsey, the veteran editor of Renville Couuty, has sold The Olivia 'nines to Wilson & Soule, and retires from business. Maj. A. G. Wilcox, well knowu in twin city newspaper circles, died at his farm near Hugo on Wednesday of heart failure, aged fifty-nine years. The long lost grave of J. M. Good- hue, editor of the first paper in Min- nesota, was discovered in St. Paul on Monday and the remains reinterred in Oakland Cemetery. The current number of The Amer- ican Monthly Review of Reviews has an interesting article upon J. J. Hill, of St. Paul, by Mary Harriman Sever- ance, formerly principal of our high school. It is a well prepared sketch of one of the leading charac- ters of the northwest. with a number of pertinent illustrations. H. S. Kenyon, a guard at the Still- water state prison, committed suicide on the night of the 31st ult. by shoot- ing himself with a revolver. He was fifty-three years old, was appointed from Moorhead, and leaves a wife and daughter. The iron mining town of Virginia, on the Mesaba Range, was burned for the second time on Thursday, about one hundred buildings being wiped out. Loss estimated at upwards of $500,000; small insurance. The Hon. Pat. Rahilly insists that he used quotation marks in delivering his borrowed speech at Cleveland: that is he wagged his ears when he carne to the inverted commas. Pat. is a great wag. Tlie basement at the Mankato normal school was scorched Monday night, but not a hundredth part as bad as the state in its construc- tion and maintenance. The sale of beer stamps at the rev- enue collector's office in St. Paul in- dicates an increased consumption of eighteen thousand barrels over May of last year. The twin city musicians have de- • cided to organize a band of seventy pieces, under the direction of Prof. Oscar- Ri ngwal 1. Dr. A. J. Stone, of St. Paul, was elected president of the National Mil- itary Surgeons' Association at New York last week. A class of three hundred and ninety-six young men and women was graduated at the state university on Thursday. T. L. Furber has been appointed postmaster at Cottage Grove vice H. C. Schram, removed. Ex -Gov. A. R. McGill has been ap- pointed postmaster at St. Paul to fill vacancy. C. F. Staples, of Dakota County, is very favorably considered in other parts than the third district as a good man for the railroad and warehouse commission. - The probabilities are that the third distriet will secure representation on the commission, and iu that case could support no fitter candidate than Mr. Staples. The theory that members of the last legislature are not eligible under the constitution has been pretty effectually disposed of by the lawyers, although some timid brethren with looks of owlish wisdom are still disturbed. Mr. Staples, as his legislative as- sociates know, and as recognized by most of those who followed the work of the last legislature, is eminently fitted for the position he seeks to oc- cupy. His integrity and uprightness are not questioned; and his ability and acquaintance with public affairs are_grater than that of the majority of -candidates candidates for the same posi- tion. -Renville Record. The political writer of The Minneap- olis.Journal asserts that one of the prime objects of those who were behind the attempted Smith -Werner deal was to side track C. F. Staples as a candidate for railroad and ware- house commissioner. Such antics may afford amusement to the city slate makers; but the state at large will have something to say about it when convention time comes. It canuot be denied that there is a strong sentiment throughout the state in favor of the nomination of Mr. Staples and it is quite apt to assert itself when the proper time comes, in spite of any scheme or combination that may be put up by those who assume to run things. -Litchfield News Ledger. If it be true, as alleged, that the principal argument used against the nomination of C. F. Staples for rail- ed commissioner is that the Great Ner I -rn is against him, then by all ( f ans let Staples be nominated.

It is now said that the effort to work the Smith -Werner shift on the state ticket had its origin in the de- sire on the part of some party leaders to sidetrack the Hon. C. F. Staples for the railroad commissionership, be- cause he was obnoxious to the rail- road corporations. Mr. Staples is a fair minded, level headed man, and no interests would Buffer in his hands,. but all would receive fair treatment. It would be a big mistake to leave him off the ticket. The candidates for railroad commissioner should be composed of our ablest, fairest men, men who are known to be independ- dent and honest, and of this class Mr. Staples stands preeminent, as bis record for the past eight years in the legislature shows. To leave him oft the ticket is to create an impression of railroad domination and is to court disaster. Let us have no trades or combines. -Appleton Tribune. Fourteen patients being transferred rom the state insane hospital at Rochester to the new one at Hastings assed through here yesterday. One fellow was especially amusing. He imagined himself to be one of the guards, and in his Irish brogue he as- sured the people around him that he would take caro of all the patients and not allow any of them to escape. He carried a large satchel which he kept constantly in his possession. - Red Wing Republican.

Clapp, of St. Paul, was full of good advice to the graduates, abounding in practical suggestions, and urging the uecessity of higher education. It was an elo- quent and masterly effort, worthy of time speaker and the occasion. The flute solo of Gilbert L. Chapin re- ceived an encore. Supt. W. F. Kunze introduced the class to the board in a few well chosen remarks, and the diplomas were distributed by Mr. Michael McHugh, president.

The grand jury submitted the fol- lowing report, .and was excused from further attendance: The grand jury respectfully reports to the court that it has investigated all matters brought to its attention and all matters within the knowledge of its mem- bers which require action on its part, and has completed its 'labors for the present. The grand jury has personally inspected the county jail and county offices and finds the same in good condition. The jail seems to be well managed and kept in a cleanly and healthy manner, 'and is in all respects conducted as well as pres- ent facilities admit of. The sanitary conditions could be much improved by providing suitable wash and bath rooms in the basement of the courthouse build- ing, but bearing iu mind the large ex- pense incurred by the county in recent improvements. we believe the board of county commissioners will provide such further facilities as may be needful for the health of the inmates of the jail as soon as the financial conditions of the county will warrant. All of which is respectfully submitted. JOHN HEINEN, Foreman. Three indictments were returned by the grand jury against E. . Wal- bridge, of Northfield, for unllswfully disposing of stored grain.

O O+•O+�O+•O..O•.O+-O 0 ..O.. O..OwO.nOsO It was about half past 9 when Jack Sutherland wandered into a roof gar- den, less because- he cared to be there than because he could think of nothing else to do. There had been a time when Jack's, evenings were not spent in an aimless endeavor to snake the hours fig faster, but that time was past. The orchestra was crashing out the• music of a t auiic opera as he stepped front the elr`vator, and he leisurely scanned the crowd that sat in groups around small tables sipping iced drinks. All daythe heat had been terrific, and even now, although a breeze stir- red the foliage of the potd plants, a humid haze still liugered in the air and mellowed the rays of the colored lamps that only partly dispelled the darkness. Their light was sufficient to catch the glitter in the jewels of the women nearest them, but there were nooks where the friendly darkness shielded the faces of lovers and encouraged ten- der confidences. As Jack passed a number of these couples on his way to a seat he turned his eyes impatiently toward the center of the inclosure where that part of the audience had congregated which had conte to find aulusenteut and forget the heat. There the murmur of voices mingling . with the music was continuous, and the deep tones of prosperous looking', business men blended with the low laughter of women who, despite the heat, looked cool and fresh in their finny gowns. Jack nodded to one or two people as he dropped into a seat. A waiter came for his order, and after he bad given it Jack lighted a cigar and, leaning back, proceeded to take note of the groups at the tables nearest him. It was one of his ways of obtaining diversion, this studying of the people about him. He liked to watch the play of expression on the various faces and to speculate about them. Ile did not. however, enjoy watching lovers. Jack had a fine contempt for sentiment. IIis one love affair had been full of it, and it had ended badly. But that he had quite outlived his love and even his slight feeling of bitterness toward the woman who hacl been able to cause him so much pain Jack often assured himself. Thoughts of Edith brought no accom- panying heartache. and his feelings for her now resembled the calm regard we entertain toward friends of former days from whom we have parted. But the affair had left him with a cynical dislike of - anything that bordered on sentiment. It amusedhim h m to think bowi i rc in the thing he now despised the days of his courtship and short engagement had been. Edith has told him once, with a pretty flush on her cheeks and a light in her eyes. that the sight of vio- lets always would recall to her mind the time when he had asked her to be his wife. She had worn those flowers that- evening—a monstrous bunch of them that he. had sent her—and Jack remem- bered how their perfume had filled the tiny drawing room and in some inde- finable way bad seemed to blend with the soft light of the shaded lamps. It was pretty, that love affair of theirs, but, after all, it had been only an episode. He was glad that they had discovered their mistake in time, and be was able to look back upon that portion of his life much as we remem- ber a dainty play that lifts us for a time above the sordid cares of the workaday world. - In the time he had known her Edith had. roused him from his indifferent at- titude toward life. He always must feel grateful to her for that, Jack told himself, but the sight of violets brought him no regrets. The return of the waiter with the drink he had ordered roused Jack from bis contemplation of an interesting group near him. The orchestra had brought the blatant music of the opera to a close and was playing an alluring waltz. The waltz died away on the summer air, and the murmur of voices became louder, interspersed with the popping of corks and the sound of ice against thin glass. Jack's gaze returned to the scene be- fore him, and it was at this moment that he caught sight of Edith seated at a table a few feet from him. He had not seen her since they part- ed as friends a year before, and he smiled to think that he should be able to look at her now with so little per- turbation. He did not believe she knew that he was there. At any rate she gave no sign of having seen him, and Jack watched her at intervals as the figures between them swayed. Apparently she was well and happy. Their brief love affair had passed over the surface of her life and left no rip- ple. Jack looked at her critically, not- ing her beauty and the taste displayed In hes attire. He always had admired ner dainty way of dressing, and as for her beauty, that was undeniable. It impressed him no less vividly now than it had in those other days when he adored her. Suddenly, without any premonitory tuning of instruments, the orchestra broke into a catcfry air that brimmed over with contagious jollity and sent a ripple of merriment running through the audience. A queer ripple came over Jack's face as he smiled with the others. That lit- tle melody was full of memories for him. No matter how completely a thing of the past his love for Edith might be, that tune always must bring her to his mind. There was nothing sentimental about tt. It was too frankly gay for that, but it bad nevertheless woven itself inex- tricably through all their courtship. It began with their -first quarrel, an as- sumption of authority on his part, un- warrantable as he looked at it now, and a flaunting of pride on hers. The next evening they had met in a box at the theater and had avoided each other's eyes until the orchestra struck up that air, which by its infec- tious gayety had dispelled their ill hu- mor and caused them to look at one an- other and smile. After that they never heard it thar their eyes did not meet with a look of understanding. It had ended many quarrels for them. "When you can hear that air played without meeting my eyes, I shall know that you no longer love me," Jack once had said to Edith half iu jest. The melody in question, chancing to strike the keynote of public favor, be- came popular, and they heard it every- where. Sometimes in a pretty attempt at defiance Edith resolutely would keep her eyes averted and refuse to look at her lover, but she never could carry her willfulness to the end of the tune. Always before the music stopped her eyes would meet his gaze. And this was what the orchestra was playing now, and he and she were sit- ting only a few feet apart, with their love for each other quite dead. It was an odd coincidence Jack thought smil- ing. How had that old tune, which be- longed to a jasi summer, ends to find a place among the popular airs of the present one? There seemed to be some Invisible link that connected them—her and him and that fanciful, silly jig. Well, there would be no love message flashed between them this time. Jack told himself this with no emo- tion, and his calmness made him real- ize how completely a thing of the past his love was. He glanced over to where she sat. The crowd had thinned out, and he could see her plainly now. If the Music stirred memories in Edith, the fact did not show in her face. Her eyes were lowered, but her lips smiled as she listened to what her companion was saying. Suddenly she raised her head and met Jack's gaze. Whether she had seen him before he did not know, but as she looked her smile faded, and for a few seconds the two regarded each other steadily, gravely. Then just as the music stopped some- thing in the man's face brought the girl's smile back again, not to her lips this time, but in her eyes, and Jack knew that she had not forgotten. He knew, too, that his pretense at not car- ing bad been a farce and that he loved her still. It was as a man in a dream that he saw Edith rise and move toward the exit, followed by her escort. Jack also rose, and in the confusion, as a crowd filled the elevator, he managed to speak to her. "When can 1 see you?" he asked. "Tomorrow," she answered without looking at him. The elevator stopped, and they were separated again, but as Jack lighted a fresh cigar and Ont on his homeward way life had different loojs, and the clatter of horses' feet as cabs darted swiftly over the smooth asphalt beat time to a glad refrain that echoed and re-echoed in his heart, •"Tomorrow, to- morrow, tomorrow!"—New York Press. No Mystery Ab Politics. S y' n o t There is nothing peculiar or mysteri- ous about politics or international rela- tions, says Ilenry D. SedgKt'ick, Jr., in The Atlantic. When two or three men live within hail of one another, polit- ical relations begin. Politics begin when men realize that other men are forces to be considered. Men meet. bow; each drives his wagon to the right; one -sells, another buys; they fence their acres in. They meet to- gether to chop down a tree, to mend the road, to regulate county platters with the next community. Whether they like it or not, politics have begun; ethical relations have be- gun; religion has come in. Be it fear, philosophy, instinct or habit, every nor- mal man is conscious of this religious element. Men cannot separate politics from ethics nor ethics from religion; they are threefold, yet one and indivisi- ble. From that union springs the nor- mal law. Rightly to understand that pox -e'er is the chief problem of life, and mankind has long been busy at the task, but the immediate matter for men Is to under- stand that what is true of two men and three gathered together is true of tens of millions. Are men to recognize this power which acts on the individual and on society only when the company is small and they can see the whites of each other's eyes? The duty of the state is to recognize the scientific truth of the universality and persistence of this power and to put it to use in state affairs. Toilet Hints. The too frequent use of greasy prep arations on thea face will cause a growth of down. r Cocoanut oil brushed over the brows will promote their growth and give them a glossy appearance. There is nothing better than sage tea to prevent the hair from falling out. This should be well rubbed into the roots three or four times a week. Bran water is also good for the scalp where there is dandruff. After rubbing it in the hair must be well washed or it will stick together. A valuable lotion for strengthening the color of the hair and useful in re tarding its turning gray is made of four ounces of bay rum and one ounce of sulphur. A frequent cause of the hair falling out Is a deficient state of the circula- tion. Rubbing the scalp for a short time every sight with the fingers will dUmhlate the circulation. How It Started.

WOMEN SHOULD SELECT STYLES TO SUIT THEMSELVES. Something Fetching Ia Dinner and Visiting Gowns — When Fashions Are Generally Adopted. Leaders Always Change Them. It is in the ad. ptation of fashion to their personal aspect that consists the true coquetry of women. And yet how few of them put in practice this aphor- ism, says the Etiropean edition of the New York Herald. The stylish dress for a small dinner party shown herewith is entirely of string colored guimpe made up over a ground of Ophella colored faille with n transparency of mousseline de sole to match the silk between the two mate- rials. The form of the dress is the princess cut, with a tunic falling over DINNER DRESS. a skirt trimlied with narrow fluffy flounces of mousseline de sole overlap- ping and bordered round the bottom with guipure like the body of the dress. On the side of the chest is a rosette of Ophella colored tulle with ends falling over the dress as far as the knees. Another sketch shows a stylish dress for paying visits or for the races, as it is now admissible either to dress for these sporting occasions or to go in tai- lor made costumes. The question is accepted as a matter of personal taste or regulated by the weather and the importance of the race meeting. The dress in question is of mauve and white silk stripe. The corsage, which is almost entirely composed of yellow guipure, is trimmed with braces of striped ribbons to match the dress. They also encircle the corsage and form au aigret bow on the left side of the chest. The sleeves are of guipure, with turn back cuffs "en laveuse." Over the skirt is a tunic partly cover' ing it, and there is a lace flounce around the bottom ending in a short train. In the days when fashions in dress were supposed to be intended for the especial purpose of a beauty P y or concealing a defect. says the New York Sun, it was said that ugly women introduced them, and pretty women were foolish enough to follow them even to the extent of disguising every pretty line of the figure. But in these fin de siecle days it is t'gly man who leads in the fashion making, with com- mercial advantage as his guiding prin- ciple, and all women follow him, not blindly perhaps, but very diligently, looking upon his creations as inexora- ble laws which in certain directions at least must be observed without protest. While lie must keep pace with the VISITING COSTUME. growing tendency toward the artistic and beautiful in dress, change is hiq motto, and sleeves and skirts expand and contract without rhyme or reason, as the master of modes may find it con- ducive to the success of his business.

It has been calculated that a mini- mum pressure of the linger of one- quarter of a pound is needed to sound a note on the piano and that at times a force of five pounds is thrown on a single key to produce a single effect.

What to Do With Them. - "Just before Montana became a state," .said a cititeu of Helena, "the Clark -Carter congest occurred, and most bitterly was It fought out. Any- thing that could be turned or twisted into a campaign argument was sought out and brought to the front. Commis- sioner Sparks, at that time head of the general land office, had made a ruling that thereafter no trees less than eight inches in diameter should be cut down for agricultural or mining purposes in territory belonging to the United States. "This ruling bad,, aroused a storm of indignant protest in Montana and bad straightway assumed a prominent place as one of the main issues in the Clark -Carter campaign. I was speak- ing one night at Bozeman, and. as was natural. I: attacked this ruling of the land commissioner and showed, at least to my own satisfaction, what in- jury and injustice it did to both farmer and miner, and so I worked up to what had always previously proved an ef- fective peroration by asking the ques- tion. 'What, my hallow citizens, can the farmer do with eight inch trees?' "The answer to this had previously invariably been silence, but this time a shrill voice in the rear of the hall blurted out, 'Why, split 'em, of course, ye confounded fool!' and I sat down amid the ribald and derisive jeers of that vast audience,"—New York Trib- une. Adjourned by Reporters. "Well, that bumps rue!" said the colo• nel. "I know that the cheek of those newspaper reporters is always in full flower, but didn'tknow that at they as- sumed Psi to legislate for the state." "All I know is," asserted the judge again. "that two newspaper reporters once adjourned a session of the Illinois senate." "How'd they do it—choke the speak- er with copy paper?" "No; they were very civilized about it. It was one day when everybody ex- pected a dull session, and only two of us senators put in an appearance, counting Dave Littler, who was in the chair. "'I want to get an interview with Littler when this thing's over,', said one newspaper man. "'So do I,' said the other. '1 move that we adjourn!' he shouted at Littler. "'I second the motion,' said the first reporter. "'It is moved and seconded that we now adjourn,' said Littler solemnly. 'Those in favor will signify it in the usual manner.' "'Aye!' shouted both of the report. ers. " 'Carried!' said Littler."—Chicago In- ter Ocean. Speaker Reed's Retort. Growing tired of his ehalr one after- noon, Speaker Reed surrendered It io another member and sat down beside a western Democrat. "My, what a large hand you have!" remarked Mr. Reed, looking intently at the enormous paw of his Democratic friend, who was writing a letter. "Yes, sir," said the member, "and I am proud of it. I worked on a farm for so many years that my hands grew large, as you see them." The speaker -held up his small and shapely right hand, smooth and white as a woman's, and said: "Well, I thank the Lord 1 never worked on a farm." The Member replied, "You are prob- ably going to run for the presidency some time, Mr. Reed, and if you do I'll placard that statement all over the country. And what could you do about it?" The big fellow mused awhile and said: "Nothing—except to brand you as an infernal liar!"—Success. A Frank Confession, An old Ulster woman who bad made money by selling whisky in a village on fair and market days was visited when she lay dying by a minister, to whom she spoke about her temporal as well as her spiritual affairs. "And so, Molly," said the minister, "you tell me you are wortb all that money?" "Indeed, minister, I am," replied Mol- ly. "And you tell me," continued the minister seriously, "that you made it by tilling the noggin?" "Na, na, minister," exclaimed the dy- ing woman; "I made maist of it by not Ellin the noggin!"

There is a story told among the peas- antry of Sleswick, the former Danish province annexed after the war in 1864, of how Prince Bismarck was confound- ed by the tongue of a shepherd lad. Shortly after the close of the war Prince Bismarck went on an inspection tour through the provinces, as he desired to study the feelings and sentiments among the people. He talked with the peasants, getting valuable though not always agreeable information. For days be was annoyed by constantly hearing dogs called "Bismarck." Desiring to know what it meant, he called out in a gruff voice to a shepherd boy who had tattered the dreaded chancellor's name in connection with his dog: "Are all dogs in this country named Bismarck t" "Ach nein, mein herr," the urchin replied as he doffed his cap; "es fat biose die schweinlronde."

One Wes Enough. That illustrious astronomer, Profess- or Simon Newcomb, iu an article on "Science and the Government" in The North American Review, gives an amusing instance of the ignorance even of the most prominent politicians re- garding the work of the greatest scien- tists: "It is said that some 50 years ago the British academy had printed a few cop- ies of an important work for presenta- tion to some foreigners who, from their prominence in the scientific world, were best entitled to be honored with the gift. LEofessor Airy, the astronomer royal, was requested to make a selec- tion of the names. A few days after be had sent in his List he was informed by the secretary of the admiralty that 'my lords' were s tlack by the number of unknown names included and that they wished to make an inquiry on the subject. Airy asked the secretary for some specifications as to the names re- ferred to. "'Well. as an example.' said the sec- retary, 'here is the name of Professor C. F. Gauss of Gottingen. Who is he?' "'Gauss is one of the greatest math- ematicians of the age and stands among the two or three most eminent masters in physical astronomy now liv- ing. Who else do you wish to know about?' "'No one else. That will do,' replied the secretary." The Blood on the Knife. "For the last ten years," said a cu- rio dealer in the Old Quarter, "a broad bladed dagger with an imitation bronze handle has been lying among a lot of odds and ends in that corner showcase. I don't know where it came from, but I probably got it when buying some collection. At any rate, the other day, while looking over my dead stock, It occurred to Inc it might be burnished up and used as a paper knife. 1 took it out, scraped the handle a little to see what it was made of and then laid it on my desk to attend to a customer. "When I picked it up again, I was as- tounded to find the blade dripping with blood. It seems a childish thing to tell, but the incident was so grewsome and apparently inexplicable that it set me trembling like a leaf. In a moment, however, my common sense came to the rescue, and what proved to be the correct explanation flashed into my mind. "It was a trick dagger, for use either on the stage or in some secret society mummery, and the hilt contained a hidden reservoir for artificial blood. In scraping the side I had pressed a spring which opened a little valve, and out came the gore, still fluid, after all these years. I afterward found that the top unscrewed for replenishing the supply."—New New Orleans Times-Demo- crat. imes- Demacrat. Beds. We cannot tell with any certainty when the first portable furniture was invented, and, to judge by the ark as it survives among our children, Noah was either ignorant of such things or, and more probably, denied himself their use fo'• the time being in order to leave more room for the animals. But long before Cowper somewhat apologetically sang the sofa Homer was proud to enumerate the cherished and decorated pieces of furniture in the tents of the heroes before Troy and described Odysseus' pleasure in seeing once more his .own beautiful bed as sympathetically as any other incident of the return, while that he had a second' best bed is one of the very few personal facts we know re- garding our Shakespeare.

Tales of the Nose. Indented nostrils evidence meanness, wide nostrils a spendthrift. A tip jut- ting out far from the face is a token of vulgarity, refinement being the pos. session of the owners of noses that do not stand out far at the end. An aqui- line bend denotes firmness of will and sense of justice; the long, narrow bridge proclaims a fastidious, self suf- ficient yet often tender nature.

The Greek form, on the contrary, tells of artistic capabilities and love of in- animate beauty. Stough on His Lordship. A carpenter in an English town hav- ing neglected to make a gibbet that had been ordered by the hangman on the ground that he had not been paid for the last one he bad erected gave so much offense that the next time the judge came to the circuit he was sent for. "F`ellow," said the judge in a stern tone, "how came you to neglect mak- ing the gibbet that was ordered on my account?" "I humbly beg your pardon," replied the carpenter. "Had I known it had been for your lordship it would have been done immediately." A b,lerman pnysiclan explains wny red haired persons seldom seem to get so bald as others.

For this story of the relation of poli- tics and medicine the Philadelphia Medical Journal,vouches: A physician was semmoned in haste to attend the chbht of a family that lived iu two rooms in the heart of a large Ameri- can city—not New York. The child had been seized suddenly and seriously and just at election time. The mother was in despair, and when the doubtful prognosis was given she broke into wailing and violent self condemnation for some horrible sin of the family to which she said the child's illness was due—a direct punishment for their crime. She would go and curse the mag- istrate for it all, her husband should resign from "the force" and such evil ways should be renounced forever. Curious to know bow the magistrate could be held responsible for the child's illness, the doctor finally secured the confession that the crime of the poor, conscience stricken woman consisted in allowing the names of many fraudu- lent voters to be registered as residing in her house, in swearing to the lie, etc. The magistrate also had demand- ed this of all the neighbors in return for indescribable political favors. The child recovered, and the magic= trate paid the physician's bill. The Two Romeo*. Joe Jefferson told this story: -"David Garrick and Sprenger Barry were both playing Romeo at the same time in London. Barry played it at Drury Lane on the Monday Garrick play- ed la -ed it the next night at Covent Garden, and the tows, was divided as to which was ther 1 g ct ter Romeo—in fact, there was quite a great excitement about it. and they acted it upon such different lines and wi'h such marvelously differ- ent conceptions that the people argued the case as to which SHnpespe:are in- tended. The fact is that Shakespeare intended it to be acted well, and if one man's temperament suited it best to act in that way It would do for an- other temperament the other way. "So they asked Mrs. Siddons, who was the Juliet alternately with the same Romeo, which she considered bet- ter of the two, ands a said: 'It is diffi- cult to say; they aboth wonderfully great, but I will tell you how they impress me In the balcony scene. In the balcony scene Garrick seems so eager, so intense and so full of fire and spirit that I'm afraid he'll jump up in the balcony to me, and Barry is so lov- able and fascinating that Y+tlt afraid I shall have to jump down from the bal- cony to him.' " Good Feeders, A hostess of the west end, Washing- ton, 'ashinaton, who proposed giving a dinner to some doctors visiting a convention in town said to the caterer when she had finished with her order: "Now, Mr. X., I trust you will snake this dinner as fine as possible, for my guests come from all over the country, and I want them to see how well w" do things at the capital "Is it the doctors you're going to en- tertain, then?" asked the caterer. "Yes," responded the hostess. "1 have invited a number of the doctors." "Give me my list, then," said the ca- terer, and be forthwith proceeded to in- crease the quantity of everything upon the menu and to nearly double the amount of wine. "What do you mean by that?" asked the patron. "Why have you increased the quantity of everything so mate- rially?"

"It is a notorious fact," says The Na- tional Druggist, "that the pineapple is considered the least healthy of all the edible fruits of the tropics by those who know anything of the matter. The juice of the green and growing plant is credited in Java, the Philippines and throughout the far east generally with being a blood poison of a most deadly nature. It is said to be the substance with which the Malays poison their krishes and daggers and is also credit- ed with being the 'finger nail poison' formerly in use among aboriginal Jav- anese women almost universally.

Simple Methods by Which They May Be Softened or Entirely Removed and What You Should Do to Guard Against Their Coining. Wrinllles are the handwriting of time on the human couutenance: Ilow much they give expression and char- acter, as well as individuality. to it is shown when the photographer re- touches the negative of a picture and wipes them out of existence. The re- semblance to the individual is about the saute as the dried specimen of a Sower in the boi;mist's herbarium is to the one which grows bright and vig- orous, full of life, in the meadow or the forest. NVriukles are telltales of Life's encounters. They accumulate in grief and in sorrow: they increase and grow ugly when ilio will loses its grip on the thoughts and the nerves run riot. Each ran ascertain the cause of the wrinkles and interpret the emo- tions which have wade lines and cross lines upou his or her own face by as- suming the muscular contractions that have produced them. The principal wrinkles that marl: the face are those that appear on the fore- head, stretching across from one temple to another, from two to 111 parallel lines or from one to three upright ones. These lines are reprehensible and unnecessary, the result mf a per- nicious habit of overuse of nerve force, an exaggeration of energy In thought and speech and accompanied by self consciousness. They are usual- ly formed early in life, and parents should by persistence prevent a child from acqulsing the habit. The lines of latitude are less noble than those of longitude. The next set of wrinkles in impor- tance are those about the eyes. Those that are at the angles, the "crow's feet," are pleasant lines and corse from wrinkling the skin -in shilling or in laughter. In the olden time the teach- ers of deportment and good looks warn- ed their pupils against wrinkling the face in the display of hilarious emo- tions because of these effects. The long lines and the wrinkling of the del- icate tissues under the eyes are greater telltales than any other of exhaustion of vital forces and the ravages of time. But hardest of all to deal with are the wrinkles about the mouth. Few are conscious of the part played In the battle of life by the muscles of the mouth. They, and not those about the eyes, are called into action by ev- ery passing thought and emotion of be- ing. If thoughts are pleasant, they re- lax; If mournful, there is a downward droop; if gnerget!c, they harden; if de- termined, they compress the lips; if angry, they contract still more; if hu- morous, they relax and the mouth widens—the greater the merriment the wider the mouth—and the cheeks par- ticipate In the pleasurable emotions, and the parentheses, the two long, semi- circular- wrinkles inclosing the lips, ap- pear and deepen with age. The skin, responding to the muscular action underneath, becomes creased and wrinkled in fine or coarser lines, according to the display of muscular activity. The wrinkles which more surely than any others tell of the ac- tion of time are those which run from the ears around the base of the chin at Its junction with the neck. They are not expressive of emotion; they are made by the bending of the head upon the neck. The wrinkles of the cheeks are not numerous, and they require strong agencies, such as sickness, grief and age, to bring them out. Some of these wrinkles are made by taking bad positions during sleep or crushing the cheek upon the pillow. The soft, yield- ing flesh is pushed upward, making deep creases under the eyes, at the cor- ners and on the temples. • To remove wrinkles, therefore, one must know their mechanism and their philosophy. In the first place, guard against a flabby and relaxed skin. This can be done by dashing• upon the face either very bot water or very cold or alternating them and while doing this rubbing the skin with the balls of the fingers. Alcohol or cologne toughens the skin and keeps it smooth. It can be used with water, equal parts. It is seldom that the skin of the face is too dry, for the oily glands are especially active; but, in case it is, use instead of alcohol a cold cream or an unguent made of equal parts of white vaseline, almond oil and lanolin, to which may be added a few drops of violet extract. Steaming the face, massaging it and the use of electricity are all good to remove wrinkles. The end aimed at by the employment of all these means Is to give elasticity and firmness to the akin, which enable it to resist the action of the underlying muscles. If deep wrinkles have come, such as the horizontal wrinkles of the fore- head, they can be removed by mechan- ical means. After painting them with an astringent, such as tannate of gyleerin, put them on a stretch by means of plaster, which will also be a means of reminding one not to wrinkle the forehead. Some persons have a facial skin which reminds one of a tongtime. These fine universal usset apple which has been kept a wrinkles are generally the result of a querulous and dissatisfied disposition. 4fter all, the best cosmetic and the Rost efficient preventive of these grav- gn lines of time is a buoyant and hap- py disposition, a determination to make pe best of life.—Harper's Bazar. The greatest troubles in life are those which do not happen. HEMSTITCHING LINENS. Work That In Easy, but Requires Cure and Accuracy. While hemstitching is very pretty and easy work. yet it is work which re- quires care and accuracy in order to be Perfect says Mrs. L. Barton Wilson in The Ari Interchange. This is especial- ly true in preparing the linen and turn- ing the hem. If there Is much dressing in the linen—which, by the way, should not be the case—it is well to dip it in boiling water. After it is pressed cut the four edges straight to a drawn thread. Then draw out two threads all round two, four or six inches from the edges, according to the required width of the hem. A one or two inch hem is pretty on a 22 inch centerpiece, a 21a or a 3 inch hem on a 30 inch center- piece or teacloth. Two extra threads should be drawn out of the lines of the corner squares formed by the cross side lines of drawn threads. The linen is now ready for the turniltg of the hem, and this is the utast careful operation of the work. Turn the selvage or warp side first, as these will not stretch like those of the woof. Turn the edge over one-eighth of an inch, holding the linen taut be- tween the thumb and forefinger of each hand over the knee. Now turn again, laying the doubled edge perfect- ly against the line of the drawn threads. Baste with running stitches half au inch long up to the point of in- tersection at the corner. Next turn and baste the opposite side. Crease the turned edges slightly, including the yet unbasted corners. These corners are the next care. Be sure they are turned perfectly to a thread, then with sharp scissors cut away the turned over ob- long to within an eighth of an inch of the drawn threads. Cut away the turned over portion of all four corners in this way and then turn and baste the remaining two sides. Lastly be sure the corners which the cutting away has left single like the rest of the hem are perfectly turned, then baste them. Waste bits of filo silk are very pleasant basting threads to work with. Boys' Belongings. There are numerous possessions that are very dear to a boy's heart—his bats and balls, his fishing tackle, his tennis racket, his tops and marbles, his—well, who can name all the pos- sessions that are dear to a boy's heart? When the boy has no place in partic- ular in which to bestow his belongings, says a writer in The Ladies' World, Tie is apt to pre-empt quarters wherever it suits his convenience, often to the no small disturbance of orderly house- keeping. Now give the boy a chance to be or- derly and see if he won't live up to his opportunities. It will betmuch better BOY'S LOCKER. for the habits he is forming and con- siderably better for the one who is try- ing to keep her house orderly. Make the boy a locker, where he can keep all his possessions, and locate it in the laundry, the back hall or in some other place so that he won't have to tear through the house every time he wants one or another of bis play- things. The shape shown in the illustration may be suggestive only, for the locker should be arranged to hold the par- ticular articles which the particular boy has in his possession, and only the possessor of the boy in question can possibly know what these may be. How to Fold Your Skirt. Fold a dress skirt in horizontal rather than in longitudinal lines if you would have it retain its freshness to the ut- most. The skirt in wearing always acquires lengthwise creases. Therefore put it away so that these evidences may be counteracted. Stretch the garment out full width, then double it downward from the belt to fit the limitations of the place in which you mean to lay it. If drawer or trunk is too short to accommodate the entire outspread width of skirt, which is likely, then let the final fold be the only one that circumscribes the breadth. This method tends to smooth out the lines and "mussiness" of wear. It is especially practicable in packing. F. Ayers in Demorest's. Wheat Muffins. For wheat muffins take one cup of milk, one tablespoonful of melted but- ter. one well beaten egg, a little salt, one tablespoonful of sugar, two tea- spoonfuls of baking powder and two cups of flour. Bake these In a quick oven, in gem pans, for 30 minutes. A Pieasing Way to Serve Batter. A pleasing form in which to serve butter is that of a thin roll.

Goxlu, late Chef, Deh'nonico's, ROYAL BAKING POWDER C0., 100 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK. THE OHIO RIVER. Many of Its Pieturesque Features of the Past Are Gone. The Ohio is no longer the beautiful river it once was. IY flowed in majes- tic curves and sweeps through a limit- less paradise. The glory of that river in the barbaric splendor of an autumn day was beyond description. Robed from the Alleghanies to the Mississippi in her gorgeous fabric of maple and sycamore, which everywhere drooped down to the stately flood, shimmering, bending in her course with considerate and majestic dignity, a trip on one of the brightly painted steamboats was the event of a lifetime. There was also a dignity in the steamboats. They did not pant and rattle like a locomotive, nor were they silent like an ocean steamer. Tbe long, huge steam cylin- ders, with deliberation and a soft though pervading sound, blew huge clouds of steam into the air. The river steamers were the Monte Carlos of the new world. Every one of there carried its contingent of professional gamblers, each of whom had a "bowie" in his boot leg. These men, unmolested, trav- eled the year round between Pittsburg and New Orleans, fleecing the unwary and paying a percentage to the cap- tains. The Ohio is a noble river yet. though winding through forest denuded hills. The orchards and cornfields are at- tractive. It promised once to become the Rhine in vineyards, but the grapes were smitten with a rust which de- stroyed the crops until the attempt was abandoned. It will never be crowned with feudal castles in ruins, but the groves will be replanted. and another century end will see it once more the "beautiful river."—Chicago Interior. The Banana. The banana is said to have 34• times the nutritive value of the potato and 25 times that of bread. In the West Indies the natives cut the fruit into strips called "pegs," dry these in the sun and grind them into flour, out of which many excellent dishes are made. No cheaper food grows in the tropics. Tbe plant begins bearing 14 months after being planted. It requires no cultivation and produces harvests un- interruptedly for 11 years. A few feet of ground nourishes a plant, and the apace of a dooryard will grow plants enough to maintain a large family. His Line of Criticism. "I understand," said the neighbor, "that your husband is a dramatic crit- ic." "No," replied the little woman bitter- ly; "he is even worse than that. He is a household critic."—Chicago Post Preservation of Vegetables. To preserve vegetables keep the stalks in water until ready 'to cook. Eggs may be kept by burying there in salt and carrots and turnips by burying in layers in a box of sand. NOTED ANAGRAMS. Ingenious Transr,ntatlon of the Names of Well Known Persons. Anagrams that transmute the names of well known teen and women are of.en startlingly ap;n•nin'iate. What could be better in this •.gay than these announcements, evolved from two great statesmen's names when the reins of power changed hands: Glad- stone, "G leads not!" Disraeli, "1 lead, sir!" Quite as happy is the comment on the devoted nursing of Florence Nightingale, whose name yields "Flit on, cheering angel." Among those -that are most often quoted we may mention Horatio Nelson. "Ilonor est a Nilo;" Charles ,lames Stuart, "Claims Arthur's Seat;" ['ilate's question, "Quid est veritas? ("What is truth?"), answered by "Est 1'il• qui adest," ("It is the man here present,"); Swedish Nightingale, "Sing high, sweet Linda;' David Livingstone, "D. V., go and visit Nile;" the Marquess of ltipou (who re- signed the grand mastership of Free- masons when he became a Romanist), "R. I. P., quoth Freemasons;" Charles Prince of Wales.

Bank Washing Day. In some banks there is a regular washday every month, usually at the beginning, when a clerk may be seen bent over a tub and rubbing real mon- ey up and down a washboard. The dirty greenbacks that have been saved up for a month are soaped and rub- bed just like handkerchiefs and socks and are run through a wringer before being put out to dry. The paper cur- rency may be handled somewhat roughly, as it does not tear because there is in it a great deal of silk and linen. After the notes have been passed through the wringer they are hung on a line stretched in the bank clerks' department Said one clerk the other day: "I wash about 100 notes every month, and when I'm done you can hardly tell them from new money. The washing strengthens as well as cleans the notes."—Philadelphia Rec- ord. Only once in their . history as a na- tion have the Spanish achieved a naval victory. That was at the battle -of Lepanto, in 1571, when, with the aid of Venetians and Genoese, they anni- hilated the Turkiah fleet. Charles Reade's Motto. "I propose never to guess what I can know." This motto was rigidly adhered to by the author, whose love c_ accuracy was so great that he spar- ed no pains to verify every statement he desired to make in any of his nov- els, grudging po amount of labor which he expended in the accomplishment of this result. He was an indefatigable collector of newspaper clippings from all nations, which he carefully classi- fied and arranged in many scrapbooks. Reports of many institutions, police gazettes, accounts of trials and acci- dents and manifold descriptions of all sorts were filed away for future refer- ence. The contents of theseescrap- books were indexed with great care. and from them Charles Reade derived great satisfaction. If ever any of his statements were questioned or his facts denied, he would turn trium- phantly to his classified scrapbooks and refute the objections with some posi- tive proof contained therein.—Miss Ticknor in Truth. Dishes That Break. The crying demand of the times is a dish that will not fall out of a girl's hands and break. Women who keep help in their kitchens do not make the complaint of broken dishes more often than the woman whose daughters "do the dishes." As soon as a man gets a half dollar saved it has to go for a meat platter or a pitcher which his daughter dropped, and there probably tsn't a family engaged in housekeeping that doesn't have :o make weekly visits to a queensware store. In some homes the daughters are fined for every plate they break, but the father has to give them the money to pay back to him in fines, so that he is always the loser. If a man is put in good humor by his din- ner, the crash of china heard from the kitchen ten minutes later drives his good nature away.—Atchison Globe. =amend Cutters and Their Work. Not only is diamond cutting not a specially highly paid occupation, but it is one Involving a most humiliating system of espionage to the worker. Each man has to strictly account for the stones be receives on going to work in the morning. and the count has to be carefully taken when the unfinished work is handed in at night to be locked up in a safe against the return of the workmen the next day. The possibili- ties of theft are great, though a dishon- est workman knows that an attempt to dispose of an unfinished stone would bring suspicion upon him wherever the attempt was made. STEEL WOOL. • Curious Material Used as a Sub. atltute For Sandpaper. Steel wool is a machine produced ma- terial that is used as a substitute for sandpaper. It is composed of sharp edged threads of steel, which curl up together like wool, or somewhat as the wood fibers of the familiar material known as excelsior curl up together, though the steel wool is very much finer, the finest of it being not much coarser than the coarsest of natural wools. Tbe steel wool is put up in packages containing one pound each. These are something like rolls of cot- ton batting, but smaller, a pound of steel wool, loosely packed, making, rolled in paper and open at the ends, a package perhaps 15 inches long and two or three inches in diameter. Made in various degrees of coarse- ness, steel wool is put to a variety of uses, the liner wools for polishing wood and metal, and the coarser for rub- bing down paint and varnish. It is often used on special parts of work, while, for example, on the flat surfaces of a door a man would use sandpaper with a block back of it; for the mold- ings he would use steel wool, which fits into the crevices and conforms itself to irregular shapes. Such work can be done with steel wool far more readi- ly and quickly than with sandpaper, and it is used with like advantage on irregular and small surfaces and on carved work. Besides the steel wool there is a coarser material of the same kind call- ed steel shavings, which is put to vari- ous uses, as In taking off old paint or varnish and in polishing wood before painting, and it is used en bowling al- leys and on floors for smoothing and cleaning them. Sandpaper clogs In use, steel wool i breaks down. The wool is commonly used with gloves to keep the ends from sticking into the fingers.—New York Sun. CASK IS NEVER EMPTY. Answered the Inquiry. "What did you tell those people about the flat, Eliza.?" "They asked me it it was good walk- ing distance, and I told them it was," "Gracious! Good walking distance from what?" "How do I know? They didn't say, and I wasn't going to be inquisitive."— Chicago Record. For Years Wine Is Drawn From It to Celebrate Great Events. All really excellent champagne is the result of judicious bteuding. Time was when each big vineyard owner had his own cellar and his own brand. But it has been found advantageous to sell the mw wine to dealers, who make one district supply what another lacks. But there are still a few provincial establishments that cling to the old ways—crowning with a wreath of flow- ers the first tubful of ripe grapes and keeping "the bride of the cellar" full from year to year. The bride, be it understood, is a spe- cial wine cask filled with the first run- ning of the press. More accurately it holds the juice which drips away be - tore any pressure is applied. Wine from it is never sold, but used upon high days and holidays, passed about as a gift or devoted to the comfort of the sick and the poor. Something akin to the bride exists In the German free cities. Each of them has a wine cellar, and in each cellar there is a cask always yielding wine, but never empty. Any burgher is entitled to demand a bottle of its contents when he marries, when his first son Is christened and also when the son Is 2L If the son is adventurous or the burgher himself, for that matter, he gets another bottle from the cask when he comes tome from far countries. But there is an official specially charged to see that whenever a bottle- ful is drawn out another bottleful of as near as possible the same quality at once goes in. And thus it happens that the city cask is never empty.—Boston Globe. Glladsteae's Levity. While Mr. Gladstone interested his audiences immensely by his endless flow of animated remarks and brilliant historical criticisms, he failed altogeth- er to convey to them the sense of great- ness. Every one left his society pleas- ed, amused, perhaps delighted But 1 cannot imagine anybody quitting It im- pressed with reverence. There was in- deed a levity sometimes observable about him which was very antagonis- tic to reverence. Dr. Martineau himself told me how disappointed be was when, meeting him after his great return to power, he said to him, "What an opportunity you have for the great work before you—the consolidation of the empire!" Mr. Gladstone shrugged bis shoulders and said: "Oh, I don't know about that. Tbe clerks in the colonial office have got too much to do already."—Contem- porary Review. Hired the Press Censor. The average newspaper man is usu- ally about as quick witted as the next one. This was pretty well illustrated when the Chicago Record was placing its foreign correspondents. George Ade was sent abroad by Victor F. Lawson for that purpose. Ade did all right until be got into Servla. There be found all the newspaper men in jail for political offenses. He was in a quandary, so he cabled to Mr. Lawson: "Newspaper men all in jail. Press censor very strict" Lawson promptly cabled back: "Make press censor correspondent." And Ade did it.—Inland Printer. Crabs In Oysters. "Tbe demand for that little southern delicacy, the oyster crab, is always larger than the supply, and I have all I can do to obtain the 50 or 60 gallons which are daily required for flavoring stews and making omelets in the lead- ing hotels, restaurants and clubs of this city," said a wholesale fish dealer in New York to a Washington Star writer. "Our northern oysters do not contain the little dainties, so I am obliged to buy them from the oyster sbuckers along the York, Rappahan- nock and other southern rivers. The Chesapeake bay shore oystermen send us some also. "The little crab found in the oyster is not, as commonly supposed by two- thirds of the oyster eating community, the young of that blue crab, but is a distinct species. It is a messmate of and caterer to the wants of the oyster, being therefore a benefit Instead of a detriment to the latter. In return for the oyster's kindness In protecting it against its enemies the little crab catches and crushes food which in its entire state could not be taken by the oyster. A singular thing in connection with them 1s that all found inside of the oyster are females. The male of the same variety has a hard shell." Turtles Trained to Fight. You want to go to China to see ani- mal fighting reduced to a science. There are hundreds of young men in the larger cities there who make a liv- ing by training animals to fight and in exhibiting their savage qualities to in- terested audiences. They catch both mud and snapping turtles, feed them on mw meat and some sort of drug that warms them up, and at the end of six months they become savage enough to fight a tiger. The jaws and teeth are filed and sandpapered until the mouth becomes a dangerous thing to go near. The turtle is tantalized each day with a piece of wood or a bunch of cotton until its temper reaches a white heat. When confronted with another turtle that has been trained and badg- ered in the same way, they go for each other with distended jaws, and there is sure to be a fight to a finish. They have each been starved for a week. Each is handled by his owner, who has teased it to the killing point. The two turtles are then placed in a small ring. and only one comes out alive. The fight lasts from one to ten hours, and death generally comes only when one of them has secured a throat hold on his doomed antagonist—Cleve- land Plain Dealer. He Bought a Section. A Pittsburger who has money to spare had to go cast on short notice. Ile is a man given to exclusiveness, and he detests traveling in a public conveyance because Ite is thrown in with so many person's. of whom he knows nothing. When he does take a trip, he takes a stateroom wherever he can get it, or, failing In that, if his business is urgent, he takes a section In the sleeping car. He had little time to make arrangements last week, but his first thought was of a stateroom. He called one of the employees and hurried him to the ticket office. "Get a stateroom, if you can," he said, "and, if you cannot, get a section. You know what a section Is—two berths." "Yes. sir." replied the man as he started off. He returned soon with the informa- tion that there wasn't a stateroom to be1^Ionthe train. "..et 1 got two berths for you, sir," he Bald, handing out two tickets.

Accommodating Diseases. Perhaps the record for school attend- ance belongs to a Walworth lad named Thomas Vvid. who was never absent or late during his 11 years of school life, beginning with his fourth year. The local member of the school board for London tells the story that when the proud boy received the attendance medal for the eleventh year, which had to be specially struck to meet his case, the mother was questioned as to how her boy bad been able to make so remarkable a record. "Has be had the usual chlidren'a complaints?' she was asked. "Yes, sir." "The measles?" "Yes, sir." "Whooping cough?" "Yes, sir." "How is it, then, that he has never been away from school?" "Well, sir, be had them in bis holi- days," was the interesting reply.— Westm inster Gazette. Proved His Case. Miss Willing (after the proposal)— But are you quite sure you believe in second love?

Walbridge, held yesterday in St. Paul. J. C. Geraghty, Rosemount, was chosen trustee, the result being made unanimous by the withdrawal of the. two opposing candidates. G. R. Taylor, cashier of the Ex- change Bank of Farmington, and Mr. DeLeo, of the firm of Robbins & Warner, this city, were placed in nomination. The fight against Mr. Geraghty was upon the question of the appointment of attorneys solely. It had been given out that he was pledged to appoint as his attorneys Dickson & Donnelly, St. Paul, who also represent the bankrupt and the Citizens' Bank of Northfield, a heavy creditor. When it became known that Sir. Geraghty had agreed not to appoint this firm, and to be guided in the appointtnent by the desire of the creditors, there was a turn in his favor of all the creditors. The ref- eree also favored Mr. Geraghty, AA be- ing his own brother in law. At the meeting considerable am- munition was spent by the two heaviest creditors, Robbins & Warner, Minneapolis, and the Citizens' Bank of Northfield, in objecting to each other's claims. Both were finally al- lowed as proved. The examination of the bankrupt came next. and under all searching questions of Mr. Hen- drix, representing Robbins & Warner, it was developed that the schedules showed a loss of nearly $50,000 since less than a year ago, when a written statement had been made by Wal- bridge to Robbins & Warner, for the purpose of securing credit. -Minne- apolis .Tribune, 1;Jth.

That we as democrats and as citizens of the state of Minnesota are proud of the fact that we supported the Hon. John Lind for governor of this state, and that we earnestly hope that he will again allow his name to be presented to the voters of this state as a candidate for that high office. That Gov. Lind, it is admitted by all candid men, has given to the people the best administration in the history of the state: that his close attention to details, his broad views, his earnest and honest efforts to further the interests of the people, and his success in securing more equitable treatment for the agricultural interests, 'together with the saving to the state and the people effected by the strict watchfulness and economy practiced in all departments of the state now in con- trol of the reform administration will make the administration of Gov. Lind gratefully remembered by the people of this state. That we congratulate the people of the stale on the appointment of our fellow citizen, John H. Lewis, to the position of state superintendent of public instruc- tion. and heartily indorse the modern. economical, and progressive methods which he has introduced into the de- partment of education.

Care of the Insane. A highly favorable report 011 the system of employing insane at the Hastings asylum was made yesterday by Secretary Jackson, of the state board of capreetions and charities, on returning from his first trip of in- spection to that institution. The in- sane asylum at Hastings was opened about the same time as the one at Anoka, some six weeks ago. There are now one hundred inmates, and, as soon as the board of trustees selects others, fifteen more will be accommo- dated. Most of these are chronic in- sane, and, while some may yet be cured, the principal object of the asy- lum,tnanagers is only to alleviate the sufferings of the patients as far as possible. For this purpose a uniform system of employment has been adopted. To a limited extent this is being en- forced also in other asylums; but at Hastings all the inmates, with the ex- ception of three sick and four de- crepit, are put to work like sane peo- ple. At the present time thirty-four of these are engaged in digging foun- dations for a barn, seventeen are em- ployed about the kitchen and dining room, seventeen more are busy in ward work, and twelve spend tkeir time in the atone quarry. One man has been put to driving a team, about the most difficult work to which an insane person can be assigned, as it requires constant watchfulness, but after a few days he was found to be a good workman and as good a teamster as ever drove a country road. Being thus employed, the insane are unable to brood over their real or fancied misfortunes. Their intellects, limit- ed though they may be, are forced into channels of healthy thought, and, while a few gradually regain their mental balance, all are greatly im- proved. The physical fatigue follow- ing regular work also has its good effects. When the asylum was first opened the night watchman complain- ed that he would need an assistant, but now he says he his nothing to do, inasmuch as every one sleeps at uight. When the insane are not put to work during the day their haunt- ing thoughts usually make sound sleep impossible. From an economic standpoint also the system of em- ployment is commendable. The asylum at Hastings will never be self- supporting, Secretary Jackson says, but many of the ordinary expenses are lightened as the insane do their work. The cooking. the serving at tables, the laundry work, and much of the gardening is done by them as well as it could be done by salaried employes. Secretary Jackson fur- ther reported that the asylum was well managed throughout. The sys- tem is running smoothly, and the in- mates receive the best of care regard- ing food, lodging, and so forth. -St. Palle Pioneer Press, 3d. Langdon Items. Mrs. Jerome Benson is very low.

Our team returned from Duluth Monday, morning, having had an enjoyable trip. They were defeated on Saturday by a score of eleven fo five, and on Sunday by twelve to six. Of the first game The News Tribune says: The Duluth ball club appears to have a big hoodoo hanging 'round, for as sure as a game has been arranged the weather man will send a cold northeaster down the line for the date of the match. That is what the players went agai.st Yester- day, but notwithstanding the locals won from Hastings by the score of eleven to five. Duluth should not have won, but they were lucky. There were many errors on both sides, but the visitors had theirs when the bases were filled. and those of the locals did not count much in the score. There was no crowd at the game, and the few of the faithful who were present sat shivering without ginger enough to do any rooting. The Hastings team made more hits than the locals did. but their fielding was not in it with the tribe that Frank Wade has on the payroll. A return game, Hastings -Rose- mount vs. Tooze's team of Minneapo- lis, will be called at the fair grounds on Sunday, at three p. m. Admis- sion twenty-five cents; ladies ten. Free buss.

There is a young man in the pension as .office who is buying a house on the installment plan at a town somewhere between this city and Baltimore, and his dear little wife lives out there. It is his wont to come in early of a morn- ing and to go out again on the 5:30 train when his day's work Is done. A few days ago he met an old friend from Chicago, and, yielding to the entreaties of that old friend, he decided to spend the evening in town. He was so afraid wide would feel hurt if she knew that he had deliberately planned an even- ing's good time without counting her In that he manfully resolved to deceive her. Accordingly as he came away from the office he went to a telegraph office and sent this message to her: I "Unavoidably detained. Missed 5:30 train. Will be out later." It was a great deal later when he reached his happy home. Wine met him at the door, and there was a look in her eye that every married man learns to know and instinctively to dread. "Did you get my message precious?" he asked as he kissed her tenderly. holding his breath meanwhile as a pre- cautionary measure. 1 "Yes, dear," she made answer, and when a woman calls her husband "dear" that way you can cut loose from the weather bureau and prognosticate a few things on your own hook. "Yes, dear, I received your message. Here it is." There it was, sure enough. It was marked as plain as plain could be, "Received at 4:23."

"She must not go," said Matthew. "I thought you'd see it that way," Howard replied, with a satisfied air. "So all you have to do when she de- mands money for this expedition is to ,say `No.' You can do this because she has overdrawn her account." Two or three days after this visit of Howard's Miss Idlewild went down town to see Matthew in his office at the bank "on business," as she said de- murely. "Give the poor cripple a dime?" she said in her absurd way. "Certainly," said Matthew, with grave politeness, and he took a bright new dime out of a little roll of coins fresh from the mint and handed it to her. So she looked a little .disconcerted and abandoned this method of attack, "Matthew, I am bankrupt, insolvent, forced to make an assignment," she said an a plaintive, spoiled child tone. "I want some money—a lot of money, in fact—for a very special purpose. May I have it?" "A lot?" repeated Matthew. "Yes, that's it; at least a hundred, Matthew look%) grave. "What is the special purpose?" he inquired, fervently hoping she would tell him all about the proposed theater party. "That's a secret," said Mass Idle - wild, with an air of mystery. "I cannot let you have any money just now, Eve," he said gently after a pause, and as he spoke he carefully avoided her eye and stared with rapt absorption at the carpet. "Hereafter," continued Miss Idle - wild, with a grand air, "I will man- age my own money matters. Then I will know just how much I have and spend it as I please without begging for it. I am of age, and I will not en- dure such treatment any longer." All this she said in anger, never dreaming that long suffering Matthew Would take her at her word. "Very well," he said, and he was a little' paler as he spoke. "I will take steps to this end at once. You will find I have not abused my trust." Incensed as she was, Miss Idlewild's head drooped with something like shame at these words. Never in her life had Matthew spoken to her like this. Never before had she felt abash- ed and frightened an his presence. A swift sense of his fidelity and her own ingratitude rushed over her. "Matthew!" she faltered, and she took a step forward, but he turned away. "You will pardon me if I leave you," - he said formally. "I am very busy this morning." He held the door open for her, and with burning cheeks she hurried out, and no word was spoken by either as they parted. Poor Matthew was cut to the heart. Certainly she tried to make amends to him In a thousand ways. Indeed, her manner to him was so much gen- tler that he began Ito think she had guessed his secret—that she pitied him. Matthew lived only about half a block from the Joys, and Evelyn was in the 'habit of running in and out of hie house as if it were her own. She was a very special pet of Miss Abby, Matthew's maiden sister, who kept house for him. London Bakers, 1310. In 1310 we find the following Bow bakeresses accused of selling halfpen- ny loaves deficient in weight: Sarre Foting, Christina Terrace, Godiyeva Foting, Matilda de Bolingtone, Chris- tina Prlchet, Isabella Sperling, Alice Pegges, Johanna de Countebrigge and Isabella Pouveste. One wonders why the husbands were not summoned. In a similar case in 1316, when Agnes Foting's bread was seized, at was "ad- judged that her bread should be for- feited and given to the prisoners in Neugate because her husband did not come to avow (own) the bread." Are we to assume that an the absence of the husbands the bread was merely for- feited without the infliction of a fine? An indication of the importance of the breadmaking business is also found in an enactment, of the reign of Henry III to the effect that "every cart of Bremble (Bromley -by -Bow) or Steven= hethe (Stepney) that comes into the city with bread shall pay each day 1 halfpenny."—Gentleman's Magazine. Birds and "Old" Cotes. A French physician lately had an op- portunity to observe a pointe de Paris which had been lying for several days in the stomach of a child and found that the gastric juice had acted upon the smallest particles of the article, blunting the blade and point and giv- ing the medal a brown color. In this manner might be explained the process used in Italy to produce old coins and medals. Large birds are made to swal- low roughly stamped coins with the image of Tiberius or Caligula. After awhile the animals give off again the coins, upon which meanwhile an ap- preciable layer of patina has formed. This result is apparently due to the ac- tion of the gastric juices.—Jeweler's Circular -Weekly. Hie Musical Sense. "What is your favorite opera?" asked the foreign gentleman. Mr. Cumrox was about to answer "The Mikado," when he observed that the eyes of his wife and daughter were upon him.

There are few departments of hu- man life where man has been so en- tirely anticipated and at the same time surpassed by the lower animals as in the invention of armor. His cunningest devices of the mailed fist order were none of them original. If you examine a fine and fully devel- oped snit of plate armor In the form which it assumed at its highest zenith in the fifteenth century, you will find that the trunk and limbs were com- pletely inclosed in a splendid fitting, jointed case of iron plates. all exqui- sitely polished. The suit as a whole was a triumphant product of the ar- morer's art Yet if you look at a lobster's tall you will see at a glance that all these clev- er devices of man's imagining had been invented and patented long be- fore by nature and that the elaborate workmanship of the Plantagenet craftsmen who cased knight and horse for the battlefield or the tournament in glistening metal was but a poor imita- tion of the ineffable skill with which the unheeded crustaceans of the time protected every vulnerable portion of their bodies from the assaults and at- tacks of their submarine enemies.— Strand Magazine. An Old Salt's Stories. The captain of the brig was much disliked by his oSicers, and, being 111 with yellow fever and likely to die, the first lieutenant used to drill the ma- rines in the burial service on the deck over the captain's cabin by way of cheering him up, the corporal giving his orders in a loud voice thus: 'The corpse is now a -coming up the 'etch - way! Reverse harms!" The skipper ultimately recovered. The commander of a certain gunboat used to say that, having no doctor on board, he mixed the medicines provid- ed in a chest into two bottles, and whenever any of his crew happened to be sick he drew an imaginary line across the man's stomach, and accord- ing as the pain was above or below that line he gave him a dose out of No. 1 or No. 2. He claimed that no man ever came to him twice, which was very likely.—"Hurrah For the Life of a Sailor," by Vice Admiral Kennedy. And Still He Failed. He flattered himself that he was a clever man, and he decided to propose in a clever way. "The use of 'shall' and 'will' always puzzled me," he said reflectively. "I never know just which is the correct word to use." "The rule is very sample," she re- plied innocently. "Just remember that"— "Oh, never mind the rule," he inter- rupted.

That we are not all blessed with equally serviceable noninjurious glass polishers is only too evident from the singular things with which we bright- en the windows of our eyes, says The Designer. One person will use the stiffest of cambric handkerchiefs, an- other a bit of chamois filled with the dust of the room or street and another still the coat sleeve. If these people would examine their spectacles under a magnifying glass of even moderate power, they would be astonished at the multitude of scratches they would find, and they would never wonder again at the dimness of the lenses, eveu though they have polished them, as they sup- posed, only a minute before. The outer part of an ideal cleaner is made of circular bits of cardboard the size of the cover in the illust_atlon. EYEGLASS CLEANER. The cardboard should be about the stiffness of the present fashionable vie- iting card. It is covered on one side with suede kid of any preferred color and on the other side with china silk. Before the suede is put in'place it is embroidered with a tiny flower spray or with the monogram of the owner of the eyeglasses. It 1s a pretty Idea to put the monogram on one cover and the flower on the other. The edge of the circle is worked in buttonhole stitch. Between the covers is placed a supply of the softest of white tissue pa- per. Ten circles of it are none too many and will make the cleaner none too bulky.

Utilising Photographs. Everybody is taking photographs nowadays, and a large proportion of these amateur photographers is won- dering just how to stake use of the charming sun pictures of landscapes which accumulate so rapidly. The pho- tograph panel may be new to some of our readers, says The Designer, and it is a very effective way to show the re- sults of the wanderings with the cam- era. The panel may be made In minia- ture size or large enough to cover the center of an ordinary door, for even if PHOTOGRAPH PANEL. the photographs are not very large the gnat may be used to increase the size Df the panel The oblong photographs Moak best arranged in a panel, and if they are very small three or more may be placed on ono mat. If the panel as to be hung agairad a light wall or door, use dark mats; if against a dark sur- face, use very light, but not white mats. Cut the slits for the ribbon in the mats and run the ribbon through as pictured, then frame the picture Mid mat in passe partoet—that is to say, the glass, mat and cardboard backing, if the latter be used, are join- ed together by narrow *grips of black cloth or paper pasted over the ease, so that only a very narrow strap shows on the right side. The ribbon is finally tied in a bow at the top, and by the loop thus formed the panel is hung up. An odd number of pictures should be used for the paned, three or five being a good number.

David Harum was a good horse trad- er, but a recent transaction in horse- flesh which was made by a well known Memphian shows that there are others who know how to get the long end of a horse trade. Several weeks ago this Memphis man saw a fine buggy horse, which he thought he wanted. Ile lo- cated the owner and asked the price. "One fifty," was the reply. After look- ing the animal over closely and trying her speed he concluded it was a good trade and without more ado wrote a check for the ainount. The next day he found that the mare was as blind as a bat, but this did not hinder her speed or detract from her general appear- ance. He drove the animal for several weeks and succeeded in attracting the admiration of another lover of horse- flesh, who made a proposal to pur- chase. "Well," said the Memphian, "I gave $150 for her, but I will let you have her for $165." The prospective owner looked the animal over and concluded he had a bargain. He paid over the money and took the mare. When the animal was unhitched, the first thing she did was to run against a post and then by way of emphasizing the fact that she was blind fell over a barrel. The next day the buyer came back to the Memphian with blood in his eye. "Colonel, you know that mare you sold me," he began. "Well, she's stone blind." "I know it," replied the colonel, with an easy air. "You didn't say anything to me about it," said the purchaser. his face reddening with anger. "Well. I'll tell you," replied the colo- neL "That fellow who sold her to me didn't tell me about lt, and I just con- cluded that he didn't want it known." The newcomer took his medicine and Is now on the lookout for a friend on Whom he can even things.—Memphis Scimitar. A Business Epitaph. "I was hunting for odd epitaphs," said a Tennessee newspaper man, "and in a cemetery in my own state I came across one that was Inscribed upon a neat granite monument and read in this way: 'Sacred to the memory of John Smith, for 20 years senior partner of the firm of Smith & Jones, now J. J. Jones & Co.' "Of course the names weren't really Smith and Jones, but I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, and they will answer for the purposes of the story. I met Jones later, and he gave me a frank explanation of the inscription. "'Smith was a bachelor without rel- atives,' he said, 'but he knew a tre- mendous lot of country people, and if any of them happened to see his grave they might think that the old house had closed up and gone out of busi- ness. So I thought it no more than right to let them know that the firm was still alive.' "I complimented him upon his good judgment." Trouble In the Church. The Kennebec (Me.) Journal says: "They made a strenuous matter of re- ligion an the good old days, as is shown by this extract from the diary of Charles Creamer of Waldoboro, under date of June, 1828: "'Sunday there was a knockdown In the Congregational meeting house be- tween the Congregationalists and Un1- versalasts. The Universallsts came off victorious. I was there. Saturday night the pulpit was guarded all night by men with clubs. Sunday was the great day.

The Duchess of Orleans, mother cf the regent who governed France dur- ing the monarchy of Louis XV, was notorious for her ugliness. She wrote: "From early youth I knew how ugly I was and bated to have people look sharply at me. I never cared for dress, as I knew that diamonds and orna- ments would only attract attention to me. Once Countess Soissons asked me why I never turned to look at a mirror in passing, as every other woman did. I told her I could not endure the sight of my own face. "As a girl I must have been very ugly. I had little, bliuking eyes, a pug nose and a big niouth with thick lips. My face was broad and fat and my figure short and stumpy. Nobody would have tolerated me except for my good disposition. "I don't suppose that there was in the whole world another pair of hands as ugly as mine. The king often told me so, and I laughed, for I was resolv- ed always to laugh at my hideousness. I must confess that i had to laugh very often. "What surprised she most was that any one could fall in love with me. I was notoriously the ugliest woman at court, yet I was married at 19. "I often asked my husband if the sight of me were not repulsive and what he bad seen in me that induced him to fall in love with me. I never got a satisfactory answer, but I think that 1 must have had some other at- tractions which outweighed my ugli- ness." On Reading Aloud. It Is a distinct loss that readineis so badly taught and that so few people know anything about the magic of the poets in their use of sound. We read almost exclsively with the eye, al- though poetry is primarily intended for the ear. Shakespeare wrote almost exclusively for the ear, and we remain unmoved by the wonderful vibration of his great passages until we hear them. Poetry ought always to be heard first and read afterward. If the best of Browning ie sympathetically and intel- ligently interpreted by the voice, the much discussed obscurity is not in evi- dence. Many people find, for instance, a little difficulty in getting the clear and full significance of "The Portrait of the Last Duchess" when they read it for the first time, but it fastens itself instantly on the imagination If It is well read. A good deal of time now devoted to commentaries and text study might profitably be given to reading the text aloud without note or comment. A work of art slowly discloses its full meaning, and familiarity with it is the first condition of comprehension.— Hamilton Mabie in Harper's Bazar. Mixed.

A very simple and effective electric air pinup fur purposes requiring only small pressi'res. says The Scientific American, has recently been introduc- ed by the Auto Elcetrie Air Pump com- pany of New York city, which pump is noteworthy' for the ingenious mechan- ism employed in atttoniaticaily break- ing the circuit when the pressure be- comes excessive. Air Is forced into a supply tank by means of an air compressing cylinder three inches in diameter,' with a stroke of three incl.'s, the piston rod being provided with a slot which receives a pin projecting froiu.11 gear wheel driv- en by a pinion. on the shaft of the mo- tor, The piston is reciprocated as the II s ElEIr oge AUTO ELECTRIC AIR I'L:41'. gear wheel is turned. • The current used is derived from :11 ordinary 110 volt electric light circuit. The motor is Of one-sixth horsepower and requires slightly lessti:au one ampere. The automatic regulation device con-. sists of a small branch pipe connected with the ail supply tank and provided with a spt•iug pressed piston or plunger, the rod of which is designed to operate -a heavy, tumbler. In its normal posi- tion the tumbler serves to depress a pivoted lever carrying at one end a carbon contact which when in engage - went with a similar lower fixed carbon contact completes b:e c!rcuit and causes the punip to 'force air into the tank. Should the pressure become excess- ive, the plunger is , forced upward against the tension of its spring, the plunger rod gradually lifts the tum- bler so that it falls back on the other, upturued,end of the lever, thereby rais- ing the contact, breaking the circuit and stopping the pump: "'When the pressure is reduced, the spring returns the. plunger. the tumbler. -Palls back to its original position, thereby depress- ing the contact end of the lever, con 'Acting the circuit and starting the Pump. • A set screw is provided, where- by• the tension of the spring can be so regulated that the circuit can be broken when any desired pressure is attained. Once started, the pump operates auto, matically, without requiring any atten- tion whatever. - The small size of the apparatus—it occupies- barely a cubic foot .of space— naturally adapts it to 1 great number of uses. Physicians have very success- fully .employed' it in conuection with atomizers. For airbrush artists and photo engravers it is particularly serv- iceable, for It gives a'coutinuous pres- sure without -exertion, leaving the hands and Peet. free. 'Tire operation of dentists' instruments', the pumping of ale or beer, the driving of clocks, the inflation of bicycle and automobile tires and the provision of power .for every. kind of small motor are purposes which It admirably serves, The cost of opera- tion Is small, for the current used is about equal to that required by a 10 candle power incandescent lamp. Sugar From Watermelons. A farmer and gardener named Hanz of Bowling Green, Ky., has recently made an excellent quality of sirup' from watermelons, according to The Irrigation Age, which states that he will shortly attempt to convert some of the sirup into sugar and expects to be successful. The same paper gives the following report of an interview with him: From 18 melons, weighing from 20 to 25 pounds, we made two gallons and one pint of sirup. We cut the melons in halves, cut out the pulp, ground it in a cider mill and pressed out the .juice. We boiled the juice in porcelain kettles on the kitchen stove for 12 hours. With a eider mill and a hot air or .steam evaporator two men can make 25 or 30 gallons of sirup per day. At the above figures it would take about 270 melons to make 30 gallons of sirup, worth $15. Melons would be worth at wholesale about $5 or $6, and It would take two or three days to haul and sell them at market. With a mill and an evaporator in the melon patch a farm- er and ofie or two hands could realize 100 per cent more by making them into sirup and feeding the refuse to hogs, cattle, horses. and chickens, which eat It greedily. A Treacherous Jewel, If a faded turquoise be dampened, its color is temporarily resjrored. The orf- entals utilize this quality by carrying a stone in their mouths and deftly slip- ping it into their bands to display it. Dealers in Meshed guard against such deceptions by retaining a stone a few days before purchasing, as the tur- quoise is the most treacherous of jew- ots, NEW SLEEP CURE 4, PATIENTS KEPT FOR SEVERAL DAYS UNDER 'rHE ILL:- ENCL OF BROMINE. A discovery of unusual interest to physicians and to all those who are suffering from nervous diseases was • recently made in China by Dr. Mac- leod, a well known doctor and a spe- cialist in disorders of the brain. Dr. Macleod said ngthing about his dis- covery at the time, but the numerous testa which he has made since then have proved so satisfactory that pub- lic attention has been drawn to them. Like many other discoveries, this one was the result of an accident, says the. New York Herald. As he was vis• sting his patients one day the doctor heard that a lady whom he knew and who was much addicted to the use of morphine had taken by mistake 75 grams of bromine and had immediately fallen into a deep sleep, from which she awoke thoroughly cured of a nerv- ous ervious ailment which had afflicted her Pot nine years and which had impelled het to take large doses of morphine daily. Dr: Macleod investigated and found that the story was true. The lady had regained her health and had no more desire for morphine than if she had never tasted it. One swallow, . however, does noi make a summer, and neither is one cure infallible testhnony to the effi- cieuey of any new kind of treatment. Dr. Macleod determined to make some further tests with bromine and soon had an opportunity of ascertaining what its effect would be in other cases of nervous disorders. IIe first experi- mented on a young man who was suf- fering from alcoholism and who was nlso a morphine fiend. The doctor gave him a dose of bromine, which nut him iuto a deep sleep. When be awoke, he assured the doc tor that he did not feel the slightest desire for alcohol or morphine, and since that day he has wholly abstained from them. A Cliinanrnn who was excessively ad- dicted to the use of chloral was the doctor's third patient, and after him came a lady whose nerves had been shattered by domestic trouble. In both cases the result was satisfactory. When the Chinaman awoke from his bromine sleep, he found that all desire for chloral had left him, and when the lady awoke she found that her nerves had regained much of their former normal strength. More remarkable still was the doctor's success with two oth- er patients—one a man who had be- come almost crazy through the use of morphine and cocaine and the other a young mother who for seven days had obstinately refused to tast* a morsel of food and who kept the neighborhood aroused by her delirious songs and laughter. The doctor gave each of them the usual dose of bromine, which put them to sleep, and when they awoke their nerves were calm, and the past seemed to them like a horrible dream. In view of these experiments Dr. Macleod feels justified in claiming that as an aid toward the cure of nervous ailments hardly anything can be better than the artificial sleep which is pro- duced by bromine. "Bromine sleep" is his expression, meaning thereby a sleep which lasts from five to nine days and from which the patient cannot be aroused even by violent shaking. Dur- ing these days the patient lies still and, as it were, torpid, showing no de- sire for food or drink and in other re- spects almost as inert as a lifeless be- ing. So completely 1s he at rest that neither the loudest noise nor the most dazzling light has power to awake hire. His strength, however, must be maintained, and this is done by giving him food in the form of -milk. Eating Moths. The old schoolboy recipe of prepar- ing lemonade .by crushing the bodies of ants, diluting the composition with wa- ter and sweetening it with sugar is brought to mind by the account given in an Australian paper of the populari- ty as .an article of diet among the na- tives of the Bogong moth, which they collect in thousauds from openings in granite rocks. On both sides of many of the valleys in the Bogong mountains the moths are found in great masses, both sides of deep chasms being literal- ly covered with the insects, packed closely side by side and overlapping. A traveler who went to investigate the district cooked about a quart of tbe moths and found them exceedingly palatable, with a flavor of walnut. The natives collect them by spreading a blanket or sheet of bark beneath them. The moths, on being disturbed with a stick, fall down and are gathered up before they have time to crawl or fly away and are thrust into a bag. A hole is then made in the sand in which fire h put until the sand is thoroughly heat- ed. The moths are then poured out of the bag, stirred about in the hot ashes and placed on a sheet of bark until cold. They are then sifted in a net to get rid of the heads, the wings and the legs having been previously singed off, and eaten as a crisp and tender morsel by the natives. When they are intend- ed to be kept, they are ground into paste and made into cakes. Tne American consuls at all foreign ports have the lawful right to examine intending emigrants for the United States for the purpose of ascertaining that they are fit for admission to this country.

"There's a good deal of human nature in a turkey," said a farmer. "The oth- er day while I was settin in the barn door one of my turkeys come yerkin along and peekin right and left and finally spied a rag on the ground that every turkey had been travelin over for a week. Turkey picked it up and slatted it out. That minute every turkey in the yard started for him. - He run. It evidently struck him all of a sudden that he had got hold of suthin that was mighty valuable. He run, and he dodged, and he ducked, and he run some more. Every few minutes some one of them turkeys would get him by the wattles or else by the rag, and there would be a tug of war. And at last another turkey got the rag away, and then there was another chase.

Most of the circus acrobats and not a few of the rough and tumble cdme- diens of the sage who have graduated from the ring were reared and learned the rudiments of their business in the lumber towns of the northwest. In the "business" these are known as "saw- dust towns" on account of the saw- mills, which are their (-hie" industry. There are many of these in Wisconst! and Michigan and several in Iowa that have turned out the bulk of the acro- bats and tumblers in the business. In the "sawdust towns" the small boys have exceptional facilities for learning to turn somersaults and hand- springs In the •great beds of sawdust that surround the mills. ::oon they be- gin to try the more difficult feats they see done In the shows that visit the towns. After school Lours they tum- ble until it is time to go house and do the "chores." from out of them -all there generally rise two or three boys who get the knack of the acrobatic feats, and :Lose work in constant ri- valry, each trying to excel the other. One day along conics a circus, and the best boy tumbler applies for a job and shows what he can do. Perhaps he is given a chance as a "top mount- er," or the top wan In a pyramid act, because he is light and active.

Do Yon Eat Ont or Int The number and variety of knives and forks that uow grace a well equip- ped and formal dinner table may well dismay one unused to such a variegat- ed di: play of cutlery and silver. There are forks for the oysters, for the fish and for tile roast and forks as well for anything else that may be served. There are also knives to correspond to the forks that may be needed. These implements that social convention de- crees to be necessary to convey food to the mouth arc usually laid out in for- midable rows on either side of the plate. The other evening a simple western maiden at her first eastern dinner sur- veyed her supply of knives and forks with growing trepidation. Her com- mon sense told he: that they were laid out in the regular order in which it was intended that they should be used, but nothing in her experience had taught her which was the right end of the row to start in with. Finality, in despair, she sought help from her next door neighbor, a prominent physician. "Say, doc," she questioned anxiously us she pointed at the offending objects, "do you eat out or in?"—New York Tribune. Hard Woods In Paraguay. Quebracho is One of the profitable woods in Paraguay.

Wanted to Warn Him. Sir Algernon West tells this story in his "Recollections:" One day the late Sir George Campbell. who bad a very strident, loud, rasping voice, called on Sir Algernon, who was then secretary to Mr. Gladstone, to talk over the land question. After he had been In conversation about three minutes the office keeper appeared, bearing the card of an M. P. who, he said, was very anxious to see Sir Algernon. The latter said be was sorry to be engaged. In another min- ute he appeared with the card of a well known peer who was most desirous to have a word with him. Again the lat- ter said be was too busy to see him just then. In another minute the man again came in with a huge card saying the lord mayor and sheriffs of London wanted to speak to Sir Algernon West very urgently in the next room. Sir Algernon apologized to Sir George and went out to such great dignitaries. When he got out of the room, the office keeper startled him by saying, "There ain't nobody here, sir, but I was afraid a madman had been shown In to you by mistake, and I wanted to warn you sir." Use of the Heliograph. The English heliograph which is now being used in South Africa consists of a simple mirror, in front of which is a shutter that is alternately removed and replaced by means of an attached finger key. By using a sight and a screw gear the sun's flash can be kept fixed on the distant station. When the screen is removed, the flash reaches the receiving station, and its interrup- tion is aocomplished by replacing the screen in its original position. By sun flashes of varying lengths of. duration and of pauses or interruptions all the different letters of the alphabet and the numerals are indicated. Of course the heliograph is used only for day sig- naling, and it is said that most of the messages to and from Ladysmith have been transmitted in this manner. At night, when the range is long and the ordinary lantern will not suffice for signaling, recourse must be had either to electrical balloons or searchlights. A Wonderful Fire Alarm. A fire alarm recently invented Is a combination of the graphaphone and telephone. In the use of the talking alarm one of the graphaphone machines is placed ou each floor of a building and connected with the telephone fire alarm system. For each machine a record is prepared. For instance, the graphaphone on the second floor of a building would contain the record, "There is a fire on the second floor," etc. This record is then adjusted so that these words are repeated into tbe telephone by the expanding of a ther- mostat whenever a fire occurs. In this way the origin of a fire is located irk mediately and automatically. The alarm also lights the electric lights in the building, sets a red light blazing in front of the building to guide the fire- men and sounds the alarm into the street through a giant megaphone—so we are told.—Science Siftings. Koir: ;11ICROBESANDCOLD DEADLY GERMS LIVE THROUGH THE TEMPERATURE OF LIQUID- AIR. The researches of Professor Dewar on liquid air are familiar to all who take an interest in the progress of sci- entific research at large. At a recent Royal society meeting an interesting communication was made on behalf of Pr. A. Macfadyen and Mr. S. Rowland on the effect of the terrifically low tem- perature of liquid air on microbes. The aini of the investigators was that of ascertaining whether the germs could survive cold of a degree ranging from 183 degrees to 192 degrees centigrade. It is of course known that many spe- cies of microbes can survive being packed in ice, and even higher organ- isms flourish in the arctic circle, says the London Express. Indeed, the ex- tremes of temperature for low forms of life are widely separated, and so It becomes a matter of practical public interest, as I shall show, to determine where the limits of vitality In this re- spect are to be found. The low tem- perature of liquid air offered a su- preme chance to see bow microbes com- ported themselves under exposure thereto, and so our investigators seized on the opportunity presented them. Exposed for 20 hours to the liquid air temperature, no Injury was ap- parently sustained by the microbes. But in the recent experiments such germs as those of typhoid fever, diph- theria, anthrax, cholera and other ail- ments, along with nondisease produc- ing species, were submitted to the liquid air test for seven days. In ad- dition to the excessively low tempera- ture, I must add, the microbes in this experiment were subjected to a tre- mendous mechanical strain. Then came the question of the ef- fects of both conditions on the vitality of the germs. These results may be summed up in the word ull. Under the microscopes they showed no signs of mechanical injury or distortion, and they were as lively, if that term may be applied to denote a condition of vi- tality, as they were previous to their chilling and cooling experiences. I bare referred to the public inter- est which attaches to these investiga- tions. To know the limits of germ life is an essential item in the knowl- edge of the sanitarian when he under- takes to show how infectious diseases caused by microbic action can be de- stroyed and prevented from attacking us. It has long been known that we can- not trust to cold as a disinfecting and germ killing agency. Cold will check germ growth certainly, a fact we see illustrated by every cargo of Aus- tralian mutton that is landed at the docks, but it cannot destroy the mi- croscopic living things that are respon- sible for inducing disease and for caus- ing decomposition, putrefaction and a goodly number of other conditions ben- eficial and the reverse. Electrical Engraying, A new German electrical process for engraving on metal is reported. A plas- ter of parts cast of the object which is '.e copied it saturated with a mate- rial which will allow the passage of the current and attached to the nega- tive pole of the battery, while the met- al to be etched is connected with the positive pole and is slightly pressed against the cast. At the points of con- tact the metal is dissolved, so that a negative of the cast is produced. If the cast itself is a negative of the ob- ject—that is to say, shows depressed parts of the original in relief, and vice versa—the etching ,will be a positive production. To etch steel plates deep- ly four or five hours are often required, and the metal has to be brought into contact with the plaster several hun- dred times. Each contact lasts for 12 seconds and Is succeeded by a brushing to remove any loosened unsotuble im- purities of the metal from its surface. This is done automatically by a me- chanical arrangement. The plaster must be neither too porous nor insuffi- ciently so, and on the selection of the exact consistency a great deal of care has to be bestowed. The electrolyte which does the etching Is chosen ac- cording to the nature of the metal un- der treatment. For instance, for steel the best electrolyte is a 10 per cent solution of ammonium chloride made slightly acid with hydrochloric acid. The German accounts of this invention also state that a company is being formed in Europe to carry out the proc- ess on a commercial scale. Candied Violets. Remove the stalks from a pound of violets and refresh them in cold water; then spread them on a towel to dry. Cook 1% pounds of sugar to the soft ball stage, remove from the fire and add the violets. Press them down un- der the sirup, return to the fire and let boil up once, then transfer at once to a cold dish. The next day drain on a sieve. To the sirup add half a cup of sugar and c -ok again to soft ball stage, put in the flowers and set aside for 12 hours. Drain again, heat to the boil- ing point and add the violets. Remove frons the fire and stir the violets light- ly until thi' sirup begins to grain, then pour on to sheets of paper. Shake and separate the flowers carefully with the hands and; --when dry. pick then from the granulated sugar--Ranhofer- A Phoao Typewriter, A phono typewriter has been invent- ed which is talked at on one side and delivers the uttered words in print at the other end, said to be paragraphed and punctuated.—Popular Science. TROLLEY KILLING TREES. The Overhead Wire Held Respoasi• ble For Their Destruction. The single conductor overhead trol- ley system has apparently much to as swer for- It is held responsible for damage to underground pipes amount- ing to thousands of dollars, and now another grave sin has been registered against it. We refer to what might be termed the electrocuting of trees, re- garding which a prominent resident of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, has this to say: "Five years ago there was the finest natural archway of trees between Six- ty --fifth street and Fort Hamilton to be found within the limits of Greater New York. NOW, for blocks at a stretch, one tree, at least, out of every three is blasted, and the others, though they are in leaf in the summer, are losing their vitality and are surely doomed unless the destroying influence can be averted in some way. "I am confident that if the public knew at the time the wires were strung through the trees the effect the electricity would have there would have been such a kick that the wires would, at least, have been more care- fully strung- The public understood that the wires were covered with in- sulating material and that even, as in nearly every case, when they touched or rested on branches, the trees would be safe. "I have talked with electrical ex- perts since then and have been told that there Is no such thing as an insu- lating material through which elec- tricity- will not slowly make its way. It Is only a matter of time before it will leak through any material iu aucli a way as to destroy anything the wires may happen to be in contact with. I think something should be done to save the rest of the trees. Their de- struction is an act of vandalism-" The residents of that locality claim that in damp weather electric current leaks through the insulation of the trol- ley feeder cables where they come in contact with branches of the trees and, passing through the latter, seeks the ground. in support of this theory Ppo it is asserted that not long ago a tree fell, when an examination of its trunk revealed the fact that it was decayed and hollow through a greater part of its length. It is also stated that wher- ever a cable touches a branch it speed- ily shows signs of decay and eventu- ally dies. There are any number of trees in this condition in that vicinity that before the trolley was built put forth abundant foliage. A Woman's Idea. Who does not remember that our grandmothers — yes, and their great- grandmothers — in order to (brake a tough piece of heat tender always used a pounding device of some kind and then without success? As a re- sult of their efforts was a flattened steal: with a greater portion of the juices forced out. • With all the different utensils for this purpose invented by man he has never lost sight of the one idea—that MEAT TENDERER. of pounding. It has fallen to the lot of a practical housekeeper to invent a de- vice that is an entirely new departure. This meat tenderer, as shown in our il- lustration, is placed upon a beefsteak; then, by bearing on just hard enough for the teeth to penetrate to their depth. at the same time using the rock- ing motion, going thoroughly over both sides of the steak, It will in one minute be so thoroughly tender that one's fin- ger can be punched through as though it were so much dough. Meat prepared in this way requires only one-half the usual time to broil. The secret of this wonderful device is that it severs the fatty or skin tis- sues, which are the cause of meats be- ing tough, so that a round steak cut a half inch thick after it has been op- erated upon is an inch or more in thickness, which is just the reverse with a steak that has been pounded. For this woman's ingenuity all man- kind must be thankful, as It solves a problem that has heretofore puzzled thousands of men. How to Cure a Cold. First stop eating. The system is overloaded with impurities, and they must be eliminated. Fast until these poisons can be disposed of In a natural manner. Take long walks, drawing in many deep, full breaths, exercise every muscle of the body that the cir- culation may be quickened and every part of the body thoroughly cleansed by this accelerated circulation. Bathe at least once a day, rubbing the sur- face of the body briskly all over for five or ten minutes. After missing from two to three meals, if a ravenous. appetite is acquired it is of course de- sirable to Indulge this appetite, but in moderation. Under no circumstances should the stomach be gorged, and those foods which are unwholesome or but moderately nutritious should be avoided.—Medical Press. In Turkey amber is supposed to be a specific against the evil effects of nico- tine, and as the people are great lovers of tobacco they freely indulge in the use of It, but take care to safeguard themselves by having amber mouth- pieces to their pipes.

A discovery of unusual tuterest to physicians and to all those who are suffering from nervous diseases was recently made in China by Dr. Mac- leod, a well known doctor and a spe- cialist in 'disorders of the brain. Dr. Macleod said nothing about his dis- covery at the time, but the numerous tests which he has made since then have proved so satisfactory that pub- lic attention has been drawn to them. Like many other discoveries, this one was the result of an accident, says tate New York Herald. As he was vis- iting his patients one day the doctor heard that a lady whom he knew and who was much addicted to the use of morphine had taken by mistake 75 gram3'of bromine and had immediately fallen into a deep sleep, frim which she awoke thoroughly cured of a nerv- ous ailment which had afflicted her for nine years and which had impelled het to take large doses of etorphine daily. Dr. Macleod investigated and found • that the story was true. The lady had regained her health and had no more desire for morphine than if she had never tasted it. One swallow, however, does not make a summer, and neither is one cure infallible testimony to the effi- ciency of any new kind of treatment.

He run, and he dodged, and he ducked, and he run some more. Every few minutes some one of them turkeys would get him by the wattles or else by the rag, and there would be a tug of war. And at last another turkey got the rag away, and then there was another chase. Guess them darn fool tuakeys would have been runnin the fat off them- selfes the -next day if I hadn't set the dog on 'em. "That's just the way with a turkey. Let any other one in the flock get hold of suthin, altd every one of the blamed fools will start for him or her and run till they fairly drop.

Most of the circus acrobats and not a few of the rough and tumble cdme- diens of the stage who have graduated from the ring were reared and learned the rudiments of their business in the lumber towns of the northwest. In the "business" these are known as "saw- dust towns" on account of the saw. mills, which are their Olaf industry. There are many of these m Wisconsit and Michigan and several in Iowa that have turned out the bulk of the acro- bats and tumblers in the business. In the "sawdust towus" the small boys have exceptional facilities for learning to turn somersaults and hand- springs in the •great beds of sawdust that surround the mills. :coon they be- gin to try the more difficult feats they see done in the shows that visit the towns. After school hours they tum- ble until it is time to go house and do the "chores." From out of them all there generally rise two or three boys who get the knack of the acrobatic feats, and these work in coustant t -i - jvalry, each trying to excel the other. 1 One day along comes a circus, and the best boy tumbler applies for a job and shows what he can do. Perhaps be is given a chance as a "top mount- er," or the top man in a pyramid act, because he is light and active. When he gets older, heavier and stronger, he may become an "understander," or the man who holds a mountain of men on his shoulders. And thus be gets to the show business.—Exchange. Do Yon Eat Out or Int The number and variety of knives and forks that now grace a well equip- ped and formal dinner table may well dismay one unused to such a variegat- ed di: play ofcutlery and silver. There are forks for the oysters, for the fish and for the roast and forks as well for anything else that may be served. There are also knives to correspond to the forks that may be needed. These implements that social convention de- crees to be necessary to convey food to the mouth are usually laid out In for- midable rows on either side of the plate. The other evening a simple western maiden at her first eastern dinner sur- veyed her supply of knives and forks with growing trepidation. Her com- mon sense told her that they were laid out in the regular order in which it was intended that they should be used, but nothing in her experience had taught her which was the right end of the row to start in with. Finally, in despair, she sought "help from her next door neighbor, a prominent physician. "Say, doe," she questioned anxiously as she pointed at the offending objects, "do you eat out or. ln?"—New York Tribune. Hard Woods In Parasnay. Quebracho Is one of the profitable woods in Paraguay.

Sir Algernon West tells this story in his "Recollections:" One day the late Sir George Campbell, who had a very strident, loud, rasping voice, called on SIr Algernon, who was then secretary to Mr. Gladstone, to talk over the land question. After he had been in conversation about three minutes the office keeper appeared, bearing the card of an M. P. who, he said, was very anxious to see lair Algernon. The latter said he was ;sorry to be engaged. In another min- i ute he appeared with the card of a well ;'known peer who was most desirous tv have a word with him. Again the lat- ter said he was too busy to see him just then. In another minute the man again came in with a huge card saying the lord mayor and sheriffs of London wanted to speak to Sir Algernon West very urgently in the next room. Sir Algernon apologized to Sir George and went out to such great dignitaries. When he got out of the room, the office keeper startled him by saying, "There ain't nobody here, sir, but I was afraid a madman had been shown in to you by mistake, and I wanted to warn you sir." IdICA0B6SANDWLD DEADLY GERMS LIVE THROUGH THIS TEMPERATURE OF LIQUID- AIR. The researches of Professor Dewar on liquid air are familiar to all who take an interest in the progress of sci- entific research at large. At a recent Royal society meeting an interesting communication was made on behalf of pr. A. Macfadyen and Mr. 8. Rowland on the effect of the terrifically low tem- perature of liquid air on microbes. The aini of the Investigators was that of ascertaining whether the germs could survive cold of a degree ranging from 183 degrees to 192 degrees centigrade. It is of course known that many spe- cies of microbes can survive being packed in ice, and even higher organ- isms flourish in the arctic circle, says the London Express. Indeed, the ex- tremes of temperature for low forms of life are widely separated, and so It becomes a matter of practical public interest, as I shall show, to determine where the limits of vitality in this re- spect are to be found. The low tem- perature of liquid air offered a su- preme chance to see how microbes com- ported themselves_ under exposure thereto, and so our investigators seized on the opportunity presented them. Exposed for 20 hours to the liquid air temperature, no injury was ap- parently sustained by the microbes. But in the recent experiments such germs as those of typhoid fever, diph- theria, anthrax, cholera and other ail- ments, along with nondisease produc- ing species, were submitted to the liquid air test for seven days. In ad- dition to the excessively low tempera- ture, I must add, the microbes in this experiment were subjected to a tre- mendous mechanical strain. Then came the question of the ef- fects of both conditions on the vitality of the germs. These results may be summed up in the word nil. Under the microscopes they showed no signs of mechanical injury or distortion, and they were as lively, if that term may be applied to denote a condition of vi- tality, as they were previous to their chilling and cooling experiences. I have referred to the public inter- est which attaches to these investiga- tions. To know the limits of germ life is an essential item in the knowl- edge of the sanitarian when he under- takes to *bow how infectious diseases caused by microbic action can be de- ' stroyed and prevented from attacking SS. It has long been known that we can- not trust to cold as a disinfecting and germ killing agency. Cold will check germ growth certainly, a fact we see illustrated by every cargo of Aus- tralian mutton that is landed at the docks, but it cannot destroy the mi- croscopic living things that are respon- sible for inducing disease and for caus- ing decomposition, putrefaction and a goodly number of other conditions ben- eficial and the reverse. Use of the Heliograph. The English heliograph which is now being used in South Africa consists of a simple mirror, in front of which is a shutter that is alternately removed and replaced by means of an attached finger key. By using a sight and a screw gear the sun's flash can be kept fixed on the distant station. When the screen is removed, the flash reaches -the receiving station, and its interrup- tion is aocompllshed by replacing the screen in its original position. By sun flashes of varying lengths of duration and of pauses or interruptions all the different letters of the alphabet and the numerals are indicated. Of course the heliograph is used only for day sig- naling, and it is said that most of the messages to and from Ladysmith have been transmitted in this manner. At night, when the range is long and the ordinary lantern will not suffice for signaling, recourse must be had "either to electrical balloons or searchlights. A Wonderful Fire Alarm. A fire alarm recently invented is a combination of the graphaphone and telephone. In the use of the talking alarm one of the graphaphone machines is placed on each floor of a building and connected with the telephone fire alarm system. For each machine a record is prepared. For Instance, the graphaphone on the second floor of a building would contain the record, "There is a fire on the second floor," etc. This record is then adjusted so that these words are repeated intq the telephone by the expanding of a ther- mostat whenever a fire occurs. In this way the origin of a fire is located iqt- mediately and automatically. The alarm also lights the electric lights in the building, sets a red light blazing in front of the building to guide the fire- men sad sounds the alarm into the street through a giant megapbone-reo We are told.- -Sclone Siftings. Electrical Engraving. A new German electrical process for engraving on metal is reported. A plas- ter of parts cast of the object which is t 're copied it saturated with a mate- rial which will allow the passage of the current and attached to the nega- tive pole of the battery, while the met- al to be etched is connected with the positive pole and is slightly pressed against the cast. At the points of con- tact the metal is dissolved, so that a negative of the cast is produced. If the cast itself is a negative of the ob- ject—that is to say, shows depressed parts of the original in relief, and vice versa—the etching .will be a positive production. To etch steel plates deep- ly four or five hours are often required, and the metal has to be brought into contact with the plaster several hun- dred times. Each contact lasts for 12 seconds and is succeeded by, a brushing to remove any loosened unsoluble im- purities of the metal from its surface. This is done automatically by a me- chanical arrangement. The plaster must be neither too porous nor insuffi- ciently so, and on the selection of the exact consistency a great deal of care has to be bestowed. The electrolyte which does the etching is chosen ac- cording to the nature of the metal un- der treatment. For instance, for steel the best electrolyte is a 10 per cent solution of ammonium chloride made slightly acid with hydrochloric acid. The German accounts of this invention also state that a company Is being formed in Europe to carry out the proc- ess on a commercial scale. / TROLLEY KILLING TREES. The Overhead Wire Held Reopen's'. ble For Their Destruction. The single conductor overhead trot• ley system has apparently much to an swer for: It is held responsible for damage to underground pipes amount- ing to thousands of dollars, and now another grave sin has been registered against it. We refer to what might be termed the electrocuting of trees, re- garding which a prominent resident of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, has this to say: "Five years ago there was the finest natural archway of trees between Six- ty-fifth street and Fort Hamilton to be found within the limits of Greater New York. Now, for blocks at a stretch, one tree, at least, out of every three is blasted, and the others, though they are in leaf in the summer, are losing their vitality and are surely doomed unless the destroying influence can be averted in some way. "I am confident that 11 the public knew at the time the wires were/ strung through the trees the effect the electricity would have there would have been such a kick that the wires would, at least, have been more care- fully strung. The public understood that the wires were covered with in- sulating material and that even, as in nearly every case, when they touched or rested on branches, the trees would be safe. "I have talked with electrical ex- perts since then and have been told that there Is no such thing as an insu- lating material through which elec- tricity will not slowly make its way. It is only a matter of time before it will leak through any material in pucli a way as to destroy anything the wires may happen to be in contact with. I think- something should be done to save the rest of the trees. Their de- struction 1s an act of vandalism." The residents of that locality claim that In damp weather electric current leaks through the insulation of the trol- ley feeder cables where they come in contact with branches of the trees and, passing through the latter, seeks the ground. in support of this theory It is asserted that not long ago a tree fell, when an examination of its trunk revealed the fact that it was decayed and hollow through a greater part of its length. It is also stated that wher- ever a cable touches a branch it speed- ily shows signs of decay and eventu- ally dies. There are any number of trees in this condition in that vicinity that before the trolley was built put forth abundant foliage. Candied Violets. Remove tbe stalks from a pound of violets and refresh them in cold water; then spread them on a towel to dry. Cook 1% pounds of sugar to the soft ball stage, remove from the fire and add the violets. Press them down un- der the sirup, return to the-flre and let boil up once, then transfer at once to a cold dish. The next day drain oa a sieve: To the scrap add half a cup of sugar and c-'ok again to soft ball stage, put in the flowers and set aside for 12 hours. Drain again, heat to the boil- ing point and add the violets. Remove from the fire ani stir tbe violets light- ly until the sleep begins to grain, then pour on to sheets of paper. Shake and separate tl,e flowers carefully with the bands and; schen dry, pick them from the granulated sugar.—Ranhofer. A Mese Typewriter.

TIP111111 �■ a A Wonsan s Idea. Who does not remember that our grandmothers — yes, and their great- grandmothers — in order to lake a tough piece of meat tender always used a pounding device of some kind and then without success? As a re- sult of their' efforts was a flattened - steak with a greater portion of the juices forced out. With all the different utensils for this purpose invented by man be has never lost sight of the one Idea—that MEAT TIM:MAER of pounding. It has fallen to the lot of a practical housekeeper to invent a de- vice that is an entirely new departure. This meat tenderer, as shown in our il- lustration, is placed upon a beefsteak; then, by bearing on just hard enough for the teeth to penetrate to their depth, at the same time using the rock- ing motion, going thoroughly over both sides of the steak, it will in one minute be so thoroughly tender that one's fin- ger can be punched through as though it were go much dough. Meat prepared in this way requires only one-half the usual time to broil. The secret of this wonderful device 1s that it severs the fatty or skin tis- sues, which are the cause of meats be- ing tough, so that a round steak cut a half inch thick after It has been op- erated upon is an inch or more in thickness, which is just the reverse with a steak that has been pounded. For this woman's ingenuity all man- kind must be thankful, as it solves a problem that has heretofore puzzled thousands of men. How to Caro a Cold. First stop eating.

Andrew Popp died at the home of his daughter, 1320 Lyndale Avenue north, yesterday at the age of one hundred years, one month, and twelve days. He celebrated his one hun- dredth birthday May 4th, and had it not been for an accident his prospects for having lived in three centuries were good. About a week ago Mr. Popp was seized with a fainting spell at the moment he was walking down- stairs, carrying in his hand a drink- ing glass, and when he fell the glass cut an ugly wound in his head, which resulted in an injury to his brain, and caused his death. The centenarian was born in the village of Vielsdorf, Sachsen-Meiningen, Germany, May 4th, 1800. At the age of sixty-five he came to this country, and has re- sided with his daughter, Mrs. F. Lang, most of the time since. He was for a long time superintendent of the waterworks in his native town in Germany, but in this country he has followed the trade of a carpenter, being actively engaged in it up to a comparatively recest period ° It was not until about two years ago that his health began to fail. At that time he was seized with the grip. He never used spectacles until he was ninety-eight years old, and it has always been his pride to refer to his record as a tobacco user, the use of which he thought had much to do with prolonging his life. While yet a small boy he wit- nessed the march of Napoleon's armies through his village, on their way to Russia, and years later he joined the German army, and after serving three years returned to bis trade. Arriving in America he first settled in Milwaukee, where he re- mained two years, after which he re- moved to Osseo, Minn., where he lived several years. The remainder of his life was spent in Minneapolis. Mr. Popp's family consists of six daughters, all of whom are living. The oldest is sixty-five years of age, the youngest forty-eight. An only son died in Germany. His descend- ants consist of thirty-five grandchil- dred and eleven great grandchildren, all of whom are living. He has two daughters in Minneapolis, Mrs. F. Lang and Mrs. Charles Hille, one at Hoboken, N. Y. one at Champlain, Minn., one at Osseo, and one in Gerinany.-Minneapolis Tribune,18th.

The committee on resolutions offered the following, which, on mo- tion, were adopted: Resolved, That the maladministration of the business affairs of Dakota County, under a long period of democratic rule, has resulted in such an accumulation of debt and consequent taxation that the patience of a long suffering people is entirely exhausted, and an entire change in the administration of county affairs has become a vital necessity, if we would preserve our co9nty from bankruptcy, therefore it is Resolved, That the republican party in Dakour County should nominate a full ticket. most carefully selected for honesty and competency, as well as availability, and make every effort to elect the entire ticket at the corniag presidential election of McKinley and Roosevelt. Resolved, That this conventien heartily endorses the candidacy of Capt. S. R. Va,nSantfor governor, the Hon. J. P. Heatwole for congress, the Hon. C. F. Staples, whose reputation won in the county as commissioner, and in the legis- lature of the state, for honesty and abili- ty, has fully commended him to the peo- ple, not only ef Dakota County, but of the state of Minnesota, and whose nomi- nation and election as railroad commis- sioner is by us most earnestly desired. Resolved, That the president cff the United States, William McKinley, by his patriotic devotion to the best interests of our country. his wise and masterful management of the government during emergencies more trying than any in ow* history since the year 1861, his manifest desire for honorable peace, his unhesi- tating courage and vigorous action when war became a necessity, his unerring judgment in political matters. aud his purity of character, has not only won the respect and confidence. but also the per- sonal affection of the people of Minne- sota represented in this conyention, who applaud his re -nomination and will earnestly work for his election.

R. Wadleigh's dray team and the buggy of Magnus Skoglund, which was upset, and then ran into the horse of J. M. Millett, tied in liont of Benno Fleinen's saloon, one ef the shafts piercing its heart, caus- ing almost instantaneous iieath. Mr. Millett's buggy was somewhat damag- ed. The horse then ran up Sibley, and around the block to Hanson's corner, where it was stopped by C. B. Lowell. The buggy was totally demolished. Summer Training School. Notice is hereby given to the teachers of Dakota County that the trainiag school for the comity will be held in the high school building, in the city of Hast- ings, commencing July 9111. 1900. All persons desiring to attend must regitter during the first week. Arrange- ments have been made with the board of education by which teachers may procure the required text books from their library free of charge. As a great benefit was reaped from the school lastyear it is earnestly hoped that all those desiring to teach the comiog year will avail themselves of this splen- did opportunity of acquiring new methods and ideas in the art of teaching. Respectfully, C. W. MEYER, County Superintendent. The Norrish Shorthorns. A bunch of eight steers, the out- come of the shorthorn herd of the late J. F. Norrish, and which is now under the careful management of Miss G. A. Norrish, topped the mar- ket at $5.30 June 6th. Six ot them were pure bred and the other two were grades that showed a large per - centage of shorthorn blood. Six were three year olds and averaged one thousand, five hundred, and eighteen pounds and the two two year olds averaged one thousand, three hun- dred, and twenty-five pounds. They were fed since some time in Decem- ber ou ground corn and oats with nice hay. Excellent gains were made, but nothing else could be expected of such tine forms. These steers were all good enough to head any of the stock herds had they been allowed to be raised as sires. About three years ago there was net much demand fur good beef bulls. The farmers had not awakened to their importance, somewhat like the majority we find to -day. This then was the reason for not keeping them for breeders. During that time there has been a great call for cattle of this kind, more than this farm could supply its custo- mers. Good strains of blood are maintained and good blocky fellows are raised for sires, while some of the females are also sold. Quite a few are maintained for breeders on the farm, for that is the aim. These that were turned off for beef were of very choice quality, something that has not been equalled this year' in such an even buneh here at the stock yards. The animals were very smooth -no patchiness, which means no waste, and that they will dress out well. Their bone was not marse, bu;; neat and tidy. Where the valu- able cuts were to be found, viz: loin, round, and ribs, the carcass was well filled out. The loin was wide and well covered, showing that it contain- ed good cuts of steak. The rounds were just as perfect, coming well down on the legs well filled, and good width and length was apparent. The ribs were well sprung and the hand- ling showed prime roasts fit for a king or the most particular critics on beef. All of them were parallogram- lc in form. The top aid belly lines were parallel and no paunchiness was apparent. This showa that they were good for beef. They also had mas- sive chests well developed, with the reet of the body to mateh, making it very symmetrical indeed. From a bremier's standpoint they would have answered well and undoubtadly would have left a stamp on their progeny not well to be forgotten. Mere cat- tle of this kind are wanted. The farmers cannot afford to waste their time and money raising scrubby stuff, and if Minnesota stockmen mean to hold their own with neighboring states such stock must beeome the foundation te work on. Quality is the great important point. Without this nothing can be accomplished. This may be found in several breeds of cattle and should be sought for. A good high ideal should be in the mind of every stockman and with that in view, by carefully culling and selecting, great things may be accom- plished that shall always have its place in history as the decades are passed. -South St. Paul Reporter.

Yet 18 years is almost thrice seven, Paul, and habit is strong. I wonder where you are." In breathless darkened silence the vast audience waited for the opening g aria, to ba sung by this unknown sing - ft er, whose fame, rumor had whispered, t- would become worldwide. Then into ::HER MEMORY:• •�• IT WHISPERED ��� FOR YEARS. :•••••'••••••••••••••: •••••••:••••••••o • From where he sat Professor Helfen could see beautiful, ever undulating stretches of green meadows, dotted d`ith the darker green of the trees, and in the far distance the everlastin hills. majestically grand in the so purple beauty of their vast rolling ou lime. "Come back to Erin, mavourneen, mavourneen!" Joyously sweet- and clear, nearer and nearer, came the voice. The professor sat ntotionles listening with bated breath, lest he lo a sylltl,ble of that sweet old song, sun in that sweet young voice. As U. voice ceased he looked out. Comin toward the house, balancing in eith hand a foaming pail of milk, was young girl. Even ere the song wa finished. a harsh, tired Voice Salle sharply: "Come,' Beth; don't, yell s You'll wake baby, and I've been a hour getting her to sleep. Hurry an set the table." The' professor grunted scornfull "Wm! Yelling, is it? The voice of a angel! Music; I escape it not eve here. I'll wait and listen." The World was two months olde Into the best parlor shone the afte noon sunshine,: playing gleefully o walls that seemed to shrink from th unac ,ustomed glare. In one of th prim straight backed chairs, at th trout windows, sat Professor Helfen while opposite at the other window sa a weary, sad faced woman, tearing ids at the led woolen curtain .tassel tha had never before been treated s roughly. . "My good woman, think; She has fortune in her voice. She has a vole in a thousand—a gem. But it is in til rough. It needs polishing, years of it and it must be polished gently. The it will shine—oh, doch!" Oter in the corner a slim, dark eye girl hung on these words. Olt, to se this world, to have the dreams she hat dreamed come true! She found hersel listening again: "Yes, yes, she can go, but bring he back; bring her back. I've seven, bu I can't spare her forever:" Then some how Beth found herself in her moth er's arms, who for once in her life o habitual self control had given way • And so the ultimatum went forth. Beth was to go. Out in the garden twilight was fall ing. The beautiful tender sky colors were slowly fading into the dusk of night. The very air, full of the scent of the hay, was a caress. The very peace of it seemed a mockery to Paul as he stood before her. How could ev- erything be so serenely beautiful while he was,tasting the bitterness of life? Ile could not put it into any line phrases, this desolateness of his. He felt euly that if this love should be taken out of his life the whole worth of his life was gone. - "'ou say you'll remember, Beth, but you won't—you won't. I know it as if years had already passed." Only a boy iu year's, yet a man's pain had aged the stern young face. The pain in his voice touched the. girl lool;jng up at him. "I'll work hard, Beth. By fall I'm going to the city with Lawyer Boote. I heard the professor tell you you couldn't love; art had- no room for love. Beth, don't let him teach you to forget me. When he gives you such lessons as that, let what I say now so fill your mind that there will be room for nothing else. I love you, Beth, and some day you will be my wife. Perhaps if you hadn't been going away I should never have had the epurage to tell you, at least for years, But Pm glad you know." "Listen, Paul. I shall never forget. You know my nature too well to be- lieve your own words. Forget you. with whom I,- have grown up, who have been the best part of, my life? Ali, Paul, you know better. This is the hardest part of it .Paul—to leave you. It seems but a dream yet''that I am really going—going to see the world that has seemed to exist only in books. But the years will soon pass, Paul. We are both young, and no les- son he may try to teach me can blot out the teaching of 18 years of life and with such a teacher. You believe me, Paul?" And Paul, looking in the soft depth of her soul's eyes, was content. The two weeks of the opera had be gun. A long line of carriages was drawn up before C— hall, waiting_to deposit their burdens—stately brough- ams smacking of solid respectability, smart lapdaus with gayly caparisoned horses, .while along the streets leading to the hall groups of fortune's less fa- vored subjects moved quickly, meeting at last in front of the hall, where they joined the large, well groomed crowd pushing slowly up the steps to sit:in andperhaps1 ultimately to judgment Y pay tribute to the new prima donna, Mlle. Armstrong, a daughter of their 'own land. In the dressing room before a mirror stood a girl, still in the flush of youth, looking with unseeing eyes at the pale, proud face framed in masses of heavy buck hair, in which diamonds gleamed like tears of fire. "I suppose they'll all' be there in the very'front, a row of awestruck faces." She smiled as she thought of the six staring faces that had gazed strangely at her on her return home. "Would I have been like then, I wonder, with no taste of the glorious dishes with which the world tickles one's palate?- Would I; too, have been content with their and my lot? Perhaps. Poor mother! She hardly dared touch me till I took her bodily in my arms. • How horrified she was when I told her I had been on the stage! How she stammered when she asked me if I wore that sort of tight trousers that looked 'as if they growed on!' " She laughed heartily a second. "And"then I went to the ol'd orchard, Paul. It was just such a night as that one—the night you told me not to for- get. I'm afraid the forgetfulness is yours, after all, Paul. Foolish, un- worthy of answering though they may have been, those letters came right the living silence came a voice se daintily sweet and soft it seemed born of the air. Slowly it rose higher and stronger, like - a bird that gathers strength in its upward flight, till, when it seemed almost too heavenly sweet for an earthly voice, into the sight of the breathless audience came the singer. A moment of absolute, dumb silence then the very roof sent back its echo to swell the triumphant ovation. But as the singer bowed right and left her eyes fell and lingered on the tear stain- ed, happy face of the woman in the front seat. Only a man in the proscenium box sat motionless in all the excitement. So this was Bertha; this beautiful wo- man who moved these thousands at her pleasure. This was the Bertha who had stood in the old church, the sunlight powdering the dusky hair with gold as it streamed in the chan- cel window While she sang "Come Unto Me." Her voice was glorious now. But coming down through the silence of eight years the voice -of his memory -sounded infinitely sweeter. With the dream of a sunlight shining like opals through the trees, sparkling like jewels in the dusky hair, with the pure scent of God's own air and the unutterable peace of nature, the glare of light, the glimmer of real opals and jewels, the hot perfumed air, the cease- less rustle of silks; seemed a sickening substitute. They were all here to see her. All had an equal right to look at and listen to her—her who by rights should be his alone. Well,slut had learned her lesson well. Rising like a mocking whisper above the din of sound he could hear the voice, "I shall never for- get,- Paul." At the end of the third act, an act of triumph for the little unknown country girl, a note was handed her. She tore it nervously open. "You looked long at me more than once tonight. I knew then memory was whispering to you. Was it faithful, 1 wonder? Did it tell you all? Did it tell you where and when we last met? Did it repeat the words that were spoken then?,. There was no signature. - It -.seemed ages to Paul before the boy returned with an answer. He opened it slowly, yet with quick fin- gers. "Memory has .been whispering eight long years, Paul. 'Can I then. for- get? Ah, 'tis you who forgot; all my foolish little letters unanswered. You were cruel,, Paul. Didn't you hear Inc tell you my heartache in that last song? I was singing to you -not my fierce Italian lover. I'm alone after the opera in my dressing room." Like a flash he saw all; heard the profess- or's voice saying, "You can't love, child; art has no room for love." And the seven long years of silence grew shorter. - Paul knocked at the door the stage hand pointed out to him. He had evi- dently been expected. "Who?" said a voice inside, answer- ing his knock. "I—Paul!" And the door slowly opened.—Chicago News. Some Useful Measures.

Science has come to the conclusion that scurvy is caused by the impover- ished condition of the blood, and that, in turn, is caused by poor food, and especially by tainted meat. It used to be considered that scurvy was causeeL by the want of fresh vegetables or Hm "J juice, but it is known now that the eat- ing of salted or improperly preserved meat or taj ited meat in any form can produce scurvy even when lime juice or vegetables are being taken at the same time. False Teeth of Antiquity.. The manufacture and use of false teeth are undoubtedly of great an- tiquity. the ancient Egyptians were no mean dentists. Jawbones of mum- mies have been found with false teeth 1 in them and also with teeth filled with ENTRANCE HALLS. i LACE CURTAINS. How to Bring Out the Artistic and Hide the Prosaic. The entrance hall is not a place for the display of coats and hats and a heterogeneous mass of boots and shoes, umbrellas and walking sticks. Alas, even in these days of progress and ar- tistic training there are many which remind one of nothing so much as an old clothes shop directly one enters the front door. In order to insure as much light as possible have the paint work ivory white. Should there be plenty of win- dows, dark or olive green might be em- ployed. Should you wish to increase the ap- parent size of the entrance hall, this can be effected by a judicious arrange- ment of curtains, some veiling the staircase, others depending from the usual archlike adornment so often to be found in present day houses and for which we should be becomingly grate- ful. When these are conspicuous by their absence, it is advisable to invest in one of those_zvhite wood fixtures which are so light and artistic in construction that the transformation effected is nothing short of marvelous. From this must be suspended serge or chenille curtains which accord harmoniously with the wall paper. There must be a pretty white wood table, while in pref- erence to chairs I would suggest a- di- van, which may be .merely a cabin trunk, the lid covered with a large cushion and the whole upholstered in bright cretonne. One or two frilled cushions Must rest against the wall. As a receptacle'for'the umbrellas, etc., IDEA FOR ENTRANCE HALL. of callers there might be a china stand, but this must not be a prominent fea ture. A standard or hanging lamp, a palm or two will complete the furniture. while the walls must be further adorn- ed with a few good •engravings in white frames, 1 c a white framed mirror and a small hanging bookshelf in white wood to contain time tables, etc. Shotild dark oak be chosen for the. woodwork. old oak furniture would take the place of the white. It is iu the rear of the hall that we must discover some place for the be- stowal of the masculine overcoats should -the Master of the house consid- er it necessary to his happiness .to keep his outdoor garments down stairs. . If there be no recess of an accommo- dating nature, doubtlessa"c•orner may be found which can be titted with a tri- angular piece of board and screened by a serge curtain, behind which the coats and hats may hang in peace. Close by must stand a eotlibinetl seat and boot cupboard. This may be easily made by a carpenter or roughly impro- vised from an empty case. Concerning Utlors. It is said, writes 11.

That a teaspoonful of vinegar boil- ing on the stove will counteract the smell of strong food. That n teaspoonful of gt•ol).nd cloves on a few hot .coals will produce the same result. That a few drops of oil of sandal- wood dropped on a hot shovel is also an excellent deodorizer. That a stale crest of bread boiled with cabbage will absorb the strong odor.

That the frequent use of lye in the kitchen sink will prevent a horrible )dor. • That a few mouthfuls of limewater r a few drops of tincture of myrrh in tumbler of water will sweeten a weete a bad breath, and a small piece of .orris root, f chewed. will give a violet odor. to the breath: gold. The ancient Greeks also knew how to fill' teeth with gold; also how to make false teeth. There is plentiful evidence of skilled dentistry among the Romans, for many of the Latin authors have references to false teeth. In the ' Roman Laws of the Twelve Tables" there are distinct references to artificial teeth-) The first part of No. 10 forbids useless expense at funerals in general, but an exception Is permitted by No. 11, which allows that the gold fillings of false teeth or the gold with whish they were bound should be burled or burned with the deceased.•' not a Warm Garment.

There are many and bitter com- plaints of the poor wearing qualities of lace curtains as compared with those that "lasted for years in the times of our grandmothers." • Complainants of- ten insist that the quality has deterio- rated and that there are no such goods made as those bearing date of 40 years ago, many of which are even yet in a more presentable condition than our own, that have passed through perhaps two or three cleanings in as many years, The reason for this is more than any other one thing the differ•nee in the proc?ss of cleaning, says .r leading critic. In suburban localities, where the modern professional curtain clean- er Is unknown, it is altogether probable that the curtains last as Iong as ever. They are carefully washed under the personal supervision of rhe housekeep- er or by her own hands, are put upon the grass to bleach and when sufficient- ly clear are rinsed and starched, not too stiff, for that might cause them to break, but just enough to make them look new. They are then neatly and regularly pinned down upon the parlor carpet and left to dry with locked doors to keep out intruders and open windows to let in the air. When taken up, they are almost if not altogether as good looking as new and have suf- fered little if any injury during the process. Treated in this way tam- boured lace curtains will last until the owners are wearied with seeing them around and get new ones for variety. The modern process is very different. The curtain is put into n large cal- dron, with scarcely water enough to cover it, and is boiled in the strongest bleaching chemicals. It is slightly rinsed and stifiiy-starched. If it is torn or the threads are broken, a se,tion of net lace is dipped in thick starch or paste and laid over the broken spot. which hasbeen I e(n partly closed by being drawn together with very fide thread. The net is then pressed upon the 'cur- tain with such ' t- 1 ch force as to unite them like one fabric. The cul tains are then dried, folded and sent home to be put up. Window Scuts. The windows in the drawing; rotnns in the days of Chippendale and Sly;rtl- ton were tall and narrow. They were set between the deep reveals which 'i I;P TO DATE WCINDOW SEAT, contained the folded shutters, says Furniture and Decorator. These win- dows generally gave upon small iron balconies, and the orthodox middle class drawing room of those days con- tained three such attenuated openings in the wall opposite the entrance door. The window side of the room was therefore usually furnished with nar- row mirrors amt console tables fitted between the windows, while simple draperies and three dainty window scats completed that end of the apart- ment. Window seats were consequent- ly of considerable importance in those times. and Chippendale and his dainty successors gave careful ,designs for such comfortless articles in their pub- lished works. Nowadays, however, winnow seats are - rather admired for the sake of their unusualness than for any real merit they may possess as useful articles of furniture, Items From Table Talk. The housewife is supplied with many beautiful and labor saving requisites in these days. Paper doilies have reached high art in test re and beauty/ of design. As instance, The latest are exact imitations of linen with hem- -stitched edges and borders, the latter perfect copies of Mexican drawn work. The convenience of this lace paper napery can scarcely be estimated. In all sizes—round, square and oval—they suit every purpose and dish for table service. Under salads, ices and cakes they are quite as pretty and scarcely distinguishable from art linen, without the trouble of laundering afterward. The paper doilies, exquisite as they are, may be obtained at a price which warrants once using and throwing away, which is a great advantage.

Saunders in St. Louis Republic. Honer For Seholars. "Honey and bred was a great meat with Pythagoras and his scholars and counted a sufficient food for a tem- perate life," wrote Dr. Thomas Moffett in 1575, `for bread strengthens the body, and honey both nourishes much and also cleanseth away superfluities. "Polio Romulus being asked by Au- gustus, the emperor, Low he lived so long! By nourishing (saith he) my in- wards with honey a.ed my outward parts with ayle. The like answer like- wise made Democritus, being demand- ed the like question. Furthermore, it is so general a meat through Russia that the children eat It on their bread every morning as ours do butter to their breakfast; with whom and with old men it agreeth exceeding well, cleansing their breasts, opening their pipes, warming their stomachs, resist- ing putrefaction and engendering sweet and commendable blood.

Then may you boldly give it as meat to young chil- dren, to cold and moist complexions and to rheumatic oid men, especially in northern countries and cold climates and in the winter months." Blackening One's Shoes. There are men in New York today whose fortunes are not small, yet they never pay a bootblaek a cent a year for shining their shoes. They are their own bootblacks, and not one is asham- ed of it. You may depend on one thing —these men were reared in the coun- try, where they were educated in the use of the brush. I said to an acquaint- ance some time ago, when he com- plained that his 12 -year-old son had no exercise about the house, "Why don't you make him blacken the family shoes every morning?" He was stunne 1 at the suggestion. "My son blacken boots!" he walled, throwing up his hands. "Do you think [would disgrace my own boy? I give him 10 cents every morning to have his shoes shined at the corner where I have mine shined." I reminded him that 'he was teaching that boy to be an upstart and that he was giving him $36,50 a year which he stole from his friends. Blackening shoes is splendid exercise. Many a ragged street Arab is too proud to do It because of some fool father like the one mentioned, but such a . father ought to be in the business instead of robbing his friends. Let every boy learn to shine shoes. IIe may have to make a living At it some day. There Is money in the business.—New York Press. Preparing For a "Dewel." One of the most remarkable docu- ments that have ever come under our observation is to be found in the case of ex parte Scoggin, 6 Tex. App. 546. Mr. Scoggin was under indictment for the murder of one William Gerrard, and an extract from a memorandum book in defendant's handwrfting and found near the body ran as follows: Joltasotr Co., Tx., Jan. 24, 1875. As this may bee the last penciling that I may ever do on earth May heaven Bless me and the man that I am going to fite, for we have been travling to geather some time and have fell out a bought the sum of 525 and have agreed to fight a dewel this Butiful night of our lord, and as one of us has to die May heven bless us, as this is the last half hour on earth with one of us, heven Preserve me now and forever.

Scoggin's piety apparently brought victory to him in the "dewel," for iris adversary when found .ap,pear- ed to have been struck behind the -ear by a 13 inch shell.—Law Notes. O'Connell and Massey. Laughter has been fatal to at least one bill in the house of commons. In the days of O'Connell Thomas Massey, who was a sworn foe to everything that suggested popery, introduced a bill to abolish the suffix "mas" from all words in our language and to substi- tute "tide," thus converting "Christ- mas" Into "Christtide," and so on. When he had ended his introductory speech, O'Connell got up and said: "Since the honorable member has such an insuperable objection to the word 'mas' why does be not set a good ex- ample by anglicizing his own name? In that case we should be quite willing to speak of him as Thotide Tidey." The house rolled with appreciative laughter, and Mr. Massey never recov- ered sufficient courage to speak of the bill again. Humor of the Alchemists. The Evening Standard says the al- chemists are no longer in fashion, and Nansen, Raleigh and Roentgen have taken the places of Hermes, Geber and Flammell. It seems farcical that men could have lived with the sole ob- ject of seeking after the "lapis phlloso- phorum" or the "elixir vitae," The science of chemistry owes its begin- ning to them, but what monotonous and uniutetesting lives they led! Throu bout th it g e works there is never alimmer of wit, t though atrocious exaggerations are frequent, and here and there one comes across real treas- ures of uucouscious humor- They all asserted that they could prepare the stone or the elixir, and, having in- vested them with supernatural proper- ties, they regarded themselves as su- perior mortals and possessed of quali- ties different ffom those of other men.

"One day last fall," said a well known Montana capitalist, "I was rid- ing on a train in my state and got to be on pretty fair terms with the train boy by buying a few of the things he had to sell. It was not a very formal kind of a train, and when the boy had fin- ished his rounds he came over to sit with oar and 'chin n bit,' as he said. I was willing enough, as he was a sharp lad and there was nobody else to talk to, and he went right at things. " `Do you know,' he said, `that I can tell by looking at a man mighty near what he is. Now, there's that fellow over there in the corner; he's a Chicago drummer.' I can' tell him by the way he lets his money go and the flip style he has when he talks to people. And that chap over there with tyle silk bat on; he's a preacherfrom a country town, I'm dead sure, iltld I'll go ask him if you say so.' "I didn't say so because 1 didn't care a continental, and the boy went on with his descriptions of the people on the train. At last I asked hint what he thought I was. 1 had on a pretty flashy suit of light stuff and was think- ing I was looking pretty well, so I was willing to risk the boy's venture. He looked me over for a full minute very carefully. "'Well,' he said at last, 'you've got a sloo of money, but I ain't dead sure whether you are a cattleman or a gam- bler.' "—Washington Star. The Center of the Earth. Of late years the general view has been that the interior of the globe, though partly liquid, is for the most part solid. Some have considered that a section through the earth would show the following: (1) An outer solid envelope, (2) a semifluid envelope, (3) a fluid envel- ope, (4) a smeifluid envelope, (5) a solid nucleus. No. 1 results from a reduced temperature only, No. 2 from a pres- sure and temperature not quite suffi- cient for liquidation, No. 3 from a tem- perature sufficiently h'gh to produce complete liquidation, t ion No. 4 from m a pressure so great as to prevent even the terrific heat which most certainly exists deep down in the earth from completely liquefying the material on which it works, and No. 5 from a pres- sure which overcomes completely the liquefying power even of the maxi- mum heat of the interior. This pressure is estimated to be at the center of the earth 7,180,593,750 pounds to the square foot, a pressure so enormous that no known substance could fuse beneath it. Even hydrogen at the highest possible temperature would under such conditions become as hard as a diamond. Hence it seems probable that, far from there being a vacuum at the center of the earth, there is a basis of intensely solid mat- ter there.—Pearson's Weekly, He Wanted a Drink. Some years ago Colonel Crisp was in New York, and being lu attendance at a certain notable political gathering in Madison Square Garden was called up- on for a speech. And did he accept? Well, rather! Running his fingers through his hair, adjusting his vest and pushing up his coat sleeves, he started in to sprinkle eagle feathers all over the stage. Now, the colonel is a stout man and has a thirst in propor- tion. In the course of his passionate harangue he became very warm and asked that some water be provided. In compliance with the request a diminu- tive pitcher and dainty little glass were brought and placed before him. Colonel Crisp looked at it intently for a few moments, and then "What Is this?" he thundered. "W -w -water," timidly answered one of the vice presidents. "Young man," bellowed the colonel, his nostrils quivering with suppressed rage, "either bring me a bucket and a gourd or lead me to the branch."—Kan- sas City Independent.

Ray, recently made United States marshal of IIawaii, has been appointed deputy marshal to her father. Miss Ray has for the past year or two been in the pension bureau at Washington. She had previously serv- ed under her father in the land depart- ment, of which he was chief. Mr. Ray, however, gave up that position to be- come private secretary to Senator Cul- lom. Miss Ray was born in Bloomington, Ills., and was educated at the Normal college nt Normal. She tutght school A e r // S yO 11 LILLIE J. RAY. for several years in Springfield - and finally became postmistress for the senate in the state legislature. That was in 1880. She• has lived in Wash- ington since obtaining her first ap- pointment there. Her mother was a Miss Phila R. Sut- ton of Norfolk, but aside from the Washington home her immediate fam- ily live in Oak Park, where her father still has his vote. • The value of the new position is said t,, be about $1,7,00 a year, the appoint- ment Seine for six years. Mr. Ray will receive ti _',500 annually as marshal, but there are allowances. MIss Ray is about Ssi years of age. Training Factory Girls. One branch of work for girls Is not overcrowded, and the wages are not becoming less, That es employment as le:whine operators, anci'bccause of this opportunity the alliance employment bureau, of which Miss Virginia Pott is president and in the ,Lianagement of which other protninent women are in- terested. has started a school for oper- ators at the Friendly Aid House, in East Thirty-fourth street, 'which will last eight weeks of the dull summer season. The training the girls will get here will stand them instead of long experience and Help them to advance much more rapidly toward the pro • - fieleney that commands good wages. In all the large factories where girls are employed nowadays the machines are run by steam or electricity, so that girls may begin this kind of work with safety at a much earlier age than when the machines had to be run by foot power. Beginuin•g with the simplest form of plain stitching the course of instruc- tion includes double seaming, gather- ing, putting in beadings, tucking, fine banding and all the kinds of work re- quire(' in making underclothing, shirt waists, neckwear and other articles which require women's work. Miss Leonora O'Reilly, the resident worker of Asacoy House, Brooklyn, ! will be in charge of the work. The hours will be from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m., with an hour at noon for luncheon. The girls bring their own lunch and have a pleasant room set apart in which to eat it. A gas range is at their disposal, so that they can have tea, coffee or anything of that sort that they may wish to add to what they bring from home. - The fee for the course is only the nominal sum of 50 cents, and all ma- terials are supplied by the committee. While the main purpose of the in- struction is to prepare girls for work in, the factories, it affords an excellent opppetunity for girls who wish merely to do the sewing for their own families. The alliance employment bureau will be able to place all girls who wish em- ployment as soon as the fall trade opens—that is, if they show in the summer any aptitude for the work. Until they get the speed required in the big factories the wages will be i small, but just as soon as that is at - tanned the training that they have re- ceived will.. insure their advance. A good operator seldom is out of work.— New York Press: How to Wear a Shirt Waist. To look trim in her shirt waist seems to be an impossibility to the average summer girl. Apparently she goes on the principle that because the waist is loose it requires no attention beyond putting on and buttoning Nothing could be further from the fact. Care- ful adjustment is necessary to give the good- fitting, well put together appear- ance. Large safety pins or white headed pins three inches long should be re- garded as complemental of every shirt waist. Use three or perhaps four of these, preferably the white headed ones. Having put on and buttoned a shirt waist, first pin the back down to the corsets below the waist line. HASTINGS, MINN., SATURDAY.

This done, the dress skirt may be put on and th et fas- tened in the back to the skirt with the fourth pin. About the waist then goes the belt, and the arrangement is com- plete. Shirts are sometimes made with a gathering string which pulls from the back of the waist, tying in front, and these are worn by a number of deluded women who fancy that because they tie a string about the waist they are getting a trig effect. On the contrary, of all shirts this style is most "sloppy." The gathers spread unbecomingly, pull up out of place, and after an hour of wearing the whole waist has the ap- pearance of trying to wrest itself from its owner. Some women have eyes sewed on the backs of their shirts, with correspond- ing hooks on the dress skirt. This, as far as it goes. is recommended for trig- ness, but is disastrous to the shirt, for the weight of • the skirt is often too great a strain. Moreover, the eyes fre- quently tear the fabric in the wash and never fail to rust, leaving two bad stains. Shirt waists wrinkled in front and back, pulling up from the belt and generally askew, are more commonly seen than is necessary. There is no reason why they should not fit as well as the body of a tailor gown. But it does not all lie with the shirtmaker. The woman Must do her part. He will fit the thing well, but is defrauded of bones to guarantee its perfect shape. So the woman, if she be trig, shapes it herself. And this she does by pulling it in close all around to her figure and firmly fastening it to her corsets with three long white headed pins. Up to Date Dressing, • The "little nothings" which go to make up a fashionable attire nowadays far exceed the cost of the dress ma- terial and in fact seem to be a more distinguishing feature than the style of garment. After all, what style of gown is not de rigueur at the moment? There are Full skirts or tight skirts, with panels or without, trimmed lengthwise or crosswise, and every kind of waist is likewise given the up to date touch with some of the thou- sand and one accessories now in vogue. Among these trinkets are necklaces of diamonds, coral, gold or pearl beads, pendants, clasps, buckles and buttons, all of the jeweled order. The tendency in dress is to copy pic- turesque effects of earlier days, and there are a few artistic results, but the character and the life of the American girl do not warrant the "clinging vine" costuming. HeLas which depend for their grace upon the manner of draping are the height of the mode and suit youthful figures, giving that broadening touch at the shoulders which is becoming to English women in general.

Those of us who have ancient chests dowered with relics of ancestresses' gowns would do well to institute a hunt, for the dames of the last century were noted for the beauty of their fichus, and the present day embroider- ies cannot exceed the olden ones.

A Clever Woman's Scheme. With the present overcrowding of al- most every vocation credit is due to any one who can strike out _ success- fully into new and original lines of business. A bright little woman in a New England town has hit upon a novel and ingenious way of -making money. Her plan is to buy some house which is dilapidated and out of repair, but in a good locality. There is usually not much trouble in finding such a house or in purchasing it at a bargain. Then her tastes come into play, devising re- pairs and improvements to the place, putting in a pretty window here, some ornamental tile or wood work there, a cozy corner somewhere inside, a hand- some touch to the hallway to give "first impressions"—and in one way and another transforming an old run down house to an attractive modern dwelling. She furnishes the house and lives there for a time, while her ideas are being carried into effect. She renders the place as attractive as possible in- side and out, not at all because she means to stay there—but simply for selling purposes. That is her specula- tion. Once her work is completed her house finds her a ready purchaser, owing to the taste displayed. She gen- erally sells the whole house outright, furnished and all, at a handsome profit. Then she searches out another house under similar conditions and does the thing over again, says the Atlanta Con- stitution. Living in the houses as she does dur- ing the repairing period, she considers that she is rent free. Her local reputa- tion for taste and good judgment in such matters is a 'valuable aid in her business. she is a maniguletor Qf Old K. s R -1). e, 4,61.7 Strongest, purest, most economical and healthful of all leavening agents. a�* RE There are many imitation baking powders sold at a low price.

Deborah Sampson, who enlisted in the Continental army as Robert Shurt- leff, was one riff the most dashing and brave of fighters for the cause of lib- erty. She enlisted in a Massachusetts regiment and served three years be- fore it was known that the brave sol- dier was a woman. "She was taken ill in Philadelphia," says a writer In The Ladies' Home Journal, "and the hospital nurse had pronounced her dead, but a slight gurgling attracted the doctor's attention. He placed his hand over her heart and, finding, to his surprise, an inner waistcoat tightly compressing her breast, ripped it open. She was immediately removed to the matron's apartments, where every- thing was done for her comfort. The commanding officer, upon learning that his aid was a woman, granted her an honorable discharge and presented her with a letter from Washington com- mending her services. The humble soldier stood before him with shining eyes filled with tears and thanked him many times, begging him to ask that her fellow soldiers be told and that he ask them to tell him if she had done aught that was unbecoming a woman. This was done, and her comrades and officers declared their respect for her was unbounded. Upon her honorable discharge from the army she returned to her mother's home, striving to es- cape the calumny which followed her singular career. After General Wash- ington became president he wrote a most cordial letter to Mrs. Gannett (Deborah Sampson, she having mar- ried in the meantime), inviting 'Robert Shurtleff' to visit him. She accepted and was treated with the greatest hon- ors by the president and residents of Washington." Woolen Dresses For Working Girls. According to a report made by Rufus Fleming, United States consul at Edin- burgh, the g progressive displacement of cotton goods by woolens for women's wear has become a matter of much im- portance to dealers in these classes of goods. This change, which has been going on for some years, was acceler- ated last November by the rise in the prices of cottons, compensating the rise in woolens, which began about a year ago. Among wholesale merchants in these lines there is a difference of opin- ion as to how far th� substitutionb stitution will go and how longit ill last, but there Is agreement that "the public taste is off cottons." working women and girls in all pur- suits have been showing a strong pref- erence for woolen dresses, apparently because they are thereby saved the trouble of washing the garments or the expense of having them washed. In this climate woolen dresses and other garments of woolen goods are seldom too warm, even in summer, and the neatness of a laundered dress is a sec- ondary consideration with the majori- ty. Wholesale dealers In dry goods believe that in Scotland and in north- ern Europe generally the preference among working women for woolen dresses has become a permanent con- dition which the.trade must recognize. Are There Too Many Clubs? In her annual address Mrs. P. L. Sherman, the retiring president of the Chleago Woman's club, gave utterance to a statement likely to be indorsed by many club women. "Oh," she said, "for a brilliant inspiration for some- thing for a substitute for essays which form so prominent a part of our pro- grammes! The ideas aro good, but the form of presentation is monotonous." She considered that this avalanche of essays, which now overwhelms the world of women's clubs, is lessening the attendance. Another cause, too, for the same result she put in this way: "I fear the club pendulum has swung too far and that too many wo- men belong to too many clubs. I do not say that too many women belong to clubs. There are signs, however, that the reaction haa commenced and that we are seriously considering pro- tecting ourselves against club dissipa- tion."—Harper's Bazar.

One Decision That the Supreme Court Couldn't Alter. In the good old days when Judge Gaslin sat upon the bench in a district that comprised the western half of Nebraska, the rustler, the horse thief and the killer abounded. Judge Gaslin was aware that there was but one way to rid the country of these pests, and that way was to make it too hot for them. Accordingly Judge Gaslin, when one of them was put on trial, admitted evidence that was sometimes "Incom- petelit, irrelevant and immaterial," but as it was generally true that if the prisoner was not guilty he had been guilty of something equally bad Judge Gaslin let it go at that and clinched the prisoner on general principles. The result was that the supreme court re- versed a good many of the judge's cases. During these perilous times an atro- cious murder was committed in Adams county and the perpetrators were soon captured. The evidences of guilt were plain, and the two prisoners were soon pronounced guilty and sentenced to be hanged. But as several notorious char- acters had recently been allowed to es- cape by the supreme court, the people of Adams determined to forestall any- thing of that kind by quietly lynching the prisoners. The two men were tak- en from the jail and hanged to a rail- road bridge east of town. The bodies were left hanging to the bridge, and next morning Judge Gas - lin sauntered out that way to take a look. He gazed on the swaying bodies for a few moments without saying a word. Then he turned to a friend and remarked: "I sentenced those two fellows to be hanged. That's one decision that in- fernal supreme court won't reverse."— Omaha World -Herald. THE REPORTER'S METHODS. Marked Difference From o n Those of the Orator, Preacher and Novelist. Probably not one reader in a hundred has paused to notice that a newspaper article is written on a plan just the re- verse of that of a sermon or -oration. Comparatively few ministers have an- alyzed the subject sufficiently to notice this fact, and their ignorance of it will often account for the reluctance of newspapers to accept matter contribut- ed bythem. Iti s worth,the t e while of every man and woman to know the— general plan on which newspaper arti- cles are written, for almost everybody desires at times to announce something through the press. The mere knowl- edge of the theory will not make a suc- cessful writer in this or any other de- partment, but it is the first step. The skillful -preacher or orator usual- ly reserves his most important points until toward the end of his discourse, closing with a climax; the skillful newspaper reporter puts his climax in- to his first sentence and ends with the most nonessential detail. While the novelist secures his dramatic effect by keeping the secret of his story hidden as long as possible, the reporter attains success by revealing his secret as quickly as words will let him. Both are working on principles as clearly defined as that on which a sonnet is constructed, but the modern newspa- per article is of so much more recent date that few critics have analyzed it, and even many of the best New York vgriters work daily upon the foregoing principle without knowing it. No man can work many days under a metropol- itan city editor without learning it.— Chicago Christian Advocate. He Explained. At a school one day a teacher, hav- ing asked most of his pupils the dif- ference between an island and a penin- sula without receiving a satisfactory answer, came to the last boy. "I can explain it, sir," said the bright youth. "First get two glasses. Fill one with water and the other with Milk. Then catch a fly and place it in the glass of water. That fly is an island, because it is entirely surround- ed by water. But now place the fly in the glass of milk, and it will be a peninsula, because it is nearly sur- rounded by water.' The boy went to t' . : op of the class. Ti►* Dentist Is Polite. A North Side dentist is sure to be call- ed "a mean man".Ity some of his wo- men patrons when they learn of the trick he has practiced upon them. It happens sometimes that even a rubber dais will not stop the flow of woman's speech, and although the dentist, being a young man, is not averse to a little "pleasant talk" now and then with a patient, yet if she persists in telling him her personal or domestic history during the filling of a tooth, hindering the work, while other patients wait in the anteroom, it's a little trying to his nerves and temper. The doctor is a po- lite man; he does not ask the woman to stop talking, but says gently: "Open your mouth, please." There is silence for a few moments, when the chatter begins again. "Open wider, please," says the den- tist, more persuasively than before, and the work goes on rapidly enough until the patient seeing her opportuni- ty starts in again where site had left off in the tale of everyday woes. The clock strikes the hour of the next ap- pointment. The dentist seizes the most terrible of all his instruments, his look becomes threatening and his voice too: "Please, now, open your mouth very - wide." The ruse succeeds, and the startled but unsuspecting woman stretches her mouth into an abysmal yawn that precludes the possibility of even a whisper. It's a mean trick.—Chicago Tribune. The Boys Got In. The late Dan Rice, the famous circus man, was fond of boys and always wanted to see a lot of them in his audi- ence. He never gave a performance, says the Cleveland Leader, when the nooks and corners were not filled with youngsters who had come in free. Elise story of this sort was told by Captain George J. Grammer. At the time of the occurrence Grammer, wbo lived in Zanesville, 0., was standing one afternoon with a crowd of other boys looking longingly 9 g into the tent, but not having the price of admission. It was Mr. Rice's custom to stand at the door until the first grand entry of the circus people, when Lr would leave. On this occasion be saw the hungry look on the faces of the boys and called them around him. "You want to go in, don't you, boys?" "Bet your life!" shouted back the youngsters. "I'll 11 tell you what. All the boys wh o are back here in ten minutes with clean faces and hands get in." The words were h dly out of his mouth before there Was a dash for the Muskingum river, and In less than seven minutes 200 clean faces and hands came back to the tent. The boys went inside with a rush. Two Critics. As my "Bed of Ferns," a large study from nature on Saranac lake, says W. J. Stillman in The Atlantic, was the first thing in which I had attempted to introduce a human interest in the landscape I was naturally inclined to consider it my most important work, and I was dismayed when Ruskin came to see me and in a tone of ex- treme disgust said, pointing to the dead deer and man: "What do you put that stuff in for? Take it out; It stinks!" My reverence for Ruskin's opinions was such that I made no hesitation in painting out the central motive of the picture, for which both subject and effect of light had been selected. Un- fortunately I habitually used copal varnish as a medium. When Rossetti called again, he asked me, with a look of dismay, what I had done to my pic- ture. I explained to hi'm that on Bus- kin's advice I had painted out the fig- ures, and exclaiming, "You have spoil- ed your picture!" he walked out of the room in a rage. Effects of Hunger.

"Am t' going to the wedding? Cer- tainly not," snapped the pretty girl in blue. "I'd like to see myself there! You thought we were friends? Oh, yes, we're friends. 1'd like to scratch her eyes out, the deceitful thiug! How did it start? How did what start? If her young man wished to call on me, there was no law against it, was there?

There is at least one woman in Ken- wood who believes thoroughly in the efficiency of prayer. About a year ago her husband engaged in a business venture that looked rather uncertain. But his wife had strong faith that it would turn out well. "Go ahead, John," she said, "and let us put our trust in the Lord. I pray every night that we may have no rea- son to regret the risk we are taking." The affair seemed to turn out pretty cell right from the start. Handsome dividends were paid all through the summer and during the winter, and great joy was in the home of this man and the sharer of his fortunes. But there came a turn about a month ago. The business ceased to pay, and sipce then the losses have been increas- ing every day. Nothing was said about it at the fireside around which so much happiness had centered during the last year until the other day, when it was suggested by the worried husband that it would be well to cut down expenses. Questions followed, as a matter of course, and then it had to be confessed that the business was not going well. "Dear me!" exclaimed the distressed woman when all he truth had been re- vealed to her. must begin praying again tonight!" — Chicago Times -Her- ald. A Famous London Tavern. The Mermaid was the name of a fa- mous London tavern frequented by noted literary men and actors during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. All the wit and talent of the time assembled there for convivial enjoyment. Au- thors have made it the scene of great mind combats between such men as Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Beaumont, Fletcher, Selden, Carew, Donne and others of reverential memory. It was the gathering place of the celebrated Mermaid club, the origin of which is ascribed to Sir Walter Raleigh. The Mermaid tavern was located in Bread street and was handily reached from three thoroughfares, so that it has been often referred to in vara ways. The Mermaid in Bread street, the Mermaid in Friday street and the Mermaid in Cheap street were, however, all one and the same. It was the nearest to Bread street. The Mermaid was de- stroyed in the great London fire. There were other Mermaid taverns, one in Cheapside and another in Cornhill, but they had no such associations as clung to that of Bread street.

Maltby, of Pine Bend, was in with a load of cattle recently, among which were foQur steers that were picked up herelat the yards the latter part of last October, and the facts about them are quite interesting. The steers were off -colored animals,, but they possessed fairly good forms for feeders. They averaged six hun- dred and eighty pounds when bought and one thousand and eight when sold. Mr. Maltby says, "The steers were Jerseys crossed with common cattle and were no more than ordi- nary steers, but I took them and started in to feed fodder corn which I cut from a field of breaking. I continued to feed this until January, when I began to change to ground feed which consisted of one-third bran and two-thirds corncob meal by bulk with shredded corn stover. This formed their ration until sold. They were stall fed and let out to exercise daily after their feed of grain. In the yard they had access to salt and water. These steers were fed about six 'months and gained an average of three hundred and twenty eight pounds during• that time. �I paid $3 a hundred and sold them for $4.35. Figuring up my profits I find that I made $42 clear atter pay- ing commissions and other expenses for food, shipping, etc. I allowed twenty-five cents a bushel for cern, and a sufficient amount for ,the fod- der. I think the manure will easily pay for the labor of taking care of the steers." It seems as though it pays to feed cattle even though only fair ones can be had. A fair price was also ob- tained for all the food grown at home. It did not have to be hauled to mar- ket and the fertility was maintained on the farm. If good cattle . were bred on the farm, as they may be, they will make better gains and a larger prtt in proportion to the quality. But since it y s to feed these cattle of common uality, had we not better do it tbian the old method of selling our foods to dealers and do nothing in the winter.—South St. Paul Live Stock Breeder. - Do not Saerittce Your Stock. The following bulletin has been is- sued by the Agricultural Experiment Station at St. Anthony Park: Many farmers, alarmed at the shortage of pasturage. as well as oats and hay crops, are already selling their cattle. The only purchasers at a low price for speculation are dealers. Ia recent years much has been done to stimulate the growth of live stock in Minnesota, espe- cially the cattle industry. Tkese cattle, and particularly the females, are needed on the farm. If sold now, how are they to be replaced? Fat stock of all kinds is selling at good prices in the market. While the drouth in the northwest is seri- ous, do not overlook the fact that lowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, and other states have an abundance of food of all kinds, and the farmers in these states will be willing to pay good prices for stockers in the autumn months. Keep your growing stook and do everything possible to provide food for it, which may be grown if rano comes soon. Plant fod- der corn as Bulletin No. 10 directs, also other pasturage and forage foods. Oats and barley mixed, or oats alone, sown as late as the first week in July, will fur- nish a large amount of pasture. Winter rye s„': n at any lime between now and the first of September will also furnish much pasture. Thst sown in August may also be grazed the following spring. A full crop of rape may be grown sown as :ate as the middle of July. Rape well grown furnishes an enormous amount of pasture. Rape should be sown with a drill if one suitable can be had, but it may also be sown broadcast, using four to five pounds of seed per acre, and cov- ered with a harrow. Use the Dwarf Es- sex variety. if no rain falls within a reasonable time and food canuot be grown and it becomes necessary to sell much of the stock, it should not be sold at a sacri- fice, but there should be seine intelligent effort made by the farmers to ship this stock to the best available market, ing the choice females.

It is understood that the man started out from Hastings yesterday and in the awful heat drove it most shamefully. When a few miles from Red Wing, in Welch, the animal was almost dead from exhaustion.

One of the most delightful and in- teresting weddings that has ever been consummated in Sibley Comity was that which took place on Wednesday, Mrs. Thomas Whalen, of Transit, when their daughter, Miss Mary W. Whalen, and Mr. Eugene P. Griffis, of Hastings, were united in marriage in the presence of about three Emu- dred of the relatives and friends of the families by Father Luke, of Arlington. The bride, who is one of the most charming young ladies in this section, looked beautiful in a wedding gown oaf white silk, and wearing white roses. The groom was dressed is the conventional black. The maid of honor was Miss Jose- phine Whalen, sister of the bride, and the groomstnan was Mr. T. J. Griffin, brother of the groom. The maid of honor looked pretty in white organdie over pink silk. At the appointed hour the parties marched into the parlor to the music of the wedding march in Lohengren, played by Miss Mayme Griffin, and took their station, when the impressive ceremony of the Catholic church was performed, which united them for life. At the close of the ceremoay Miss Griffin played Oh Promise Me, and there was a general rush to salute the bride and groom and wish them loads of happiness. The eotnpany then scattered for a while ter admire the pleasant home of the Whalen family, now so soon to be bereft of its great - t ornament. The guests were soon summoned to partake of the wedding feast, which was served under a tem- porary canopy, and, as the weather was most auspicious, the company was delighted with the arrangement. Beside the many friends of the family living in this vicinity, there were many from other places, among them being Patrick Griffin, father of the groom, T. J. Griffin and J. P. Griffin, brothers of the greoin, Miss Marion A. Griffin, sister of the groom, Miss Kate R. Hoffman, all of Hast- ings, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McKasy,of Legueur, Mrs. F.

P. Vasterling, a prominent wed- ding specialist of much taste and ex- perience. The table decorations were roses, ferns, and holly. The happy couple left this morning for the east, and when they returu from their wedding tour will make their home in Hastings, where Mr. Griffin is R prominent business man The News wishes them all happiness -- Winthrop News, Va. A Dinner of Male and Axle Grease. The following is an incident of the siege of Ladysmith narrated by Sir William MacCormac: "An officer re- lated an incident which will serve to Illustrate the lengths to which things had gone as regards food. A shell fell into the mule lines one afternoon, kill- ing one mule. In spite of other shells following the first one in rapid succes- sion, so as to make occupation of the spot very dangerous, the men in the vicinity made a rush at the mule like so many ravenous creatures, cutting off the flesh with their clasp knives in great chunks. They then in safer quar- ters built fires, toasted the meat and swallowed it at once. To make them more palatable the men fried their bis- cuits in the axle grease provided for the carts. The want of fatty foods and vegetables was greatly felt. In spite of all their hardships nobody ever thought of giving in. The general in- quired as to how many horses in the camp could carry their riders six miles, in view of a sortie being made, and the answer cardle back that only 12 horses in the whole camp could do it." --Lon- don Lancet.

The time I've lost in wooing, In watching and pursuing The light that lies, In woman's eyes Ras been my heart's undoing. Though wisdom oft has sought me, I scorned the lore she taught me; My only books Were woman's looks, And folly's all they've taught me. Her smile when beauty granted I hung with gaze enchanted, •.Like him, the sprite, Whom maids by night Oft meet in glen that's haunted. Like him, too, beauty won me, But while her eyes were on . TBenme, if once their ray Was turned away, Oh, winds could not outrun rust And are these follies going? And is my proud heart growing Too cold or wise For brilliant eyes Again to set it Blotting? No, vain, alas, the endeavor From bonds so sweet to sever; (Poor wisdom's chance Against a glance Is now as weak as ever. —Thomas Moore. "Eight is the proper number for our table," he told his wife. And then he began ,to pian the menu. Mrs. Blakey was a cheerful, gay lit- tle body at the time of her marriage, • and the sparkle isn't entirely gone. §he looked very pretty on the night of the dinner. The table was perfect; the cut glass• blazed with rainbow hues, the silver dazzled and the floral cen- terpiece was a credit to Mr. Blakey's taste. The feast was to be rather more pretentious than anything Mr. Blakey had heretofore planned, but he had no fears about the service. He relied on the code. Mrs. Blakey, on her part, was determined to please David by ape peering quite unconscious whenever ' she signaled Nora. The consequence was . that her smiles,and attention to the Man on her .def' during the soup course half turned his head. "IIow delightfully clever; do tell mo another!" Mrs. Blakey was saying to him, brightly, as her small foot pressed the button and telegraphed' Nora to "clear table for next course." Nora appeared—a dream of delight in a black dress, an exquisite apron and • a brands -new` butterfly cap that Mr. (inn Elorimelli• I3lakey himself had • selected and mII\I-11 it f brought. home for the occasion. Slie • UUUUUUUUUUU UUV waited for the cue. She never so much Blakey is a born housekeeper. What he doesn't know about the care of the kitchen sink Isn't written in the books, and a person who tries to teach him how to snake good coffee is simply con- 'veying anthracite to a well filled bin. It's a grief to Blakey that he can't get a proper substitute in his office, so that he can stay at house all .lay :tad see to things. And' yet, in spite of all these inter- ests in common with them, Blakey isn't popular with women. 'There are days when Ile isn't even popular with his wife, and she is one of the most devoted spouses that ever made an ef- fort to keep up with the procession. Some good friend ought to tell Blakey how women feel about these things. IIe ought to be informed that the man who is at \rimier tells leis wife howeit fills him with admiration to behold her as if by magic creating a .feast from the materials in the pantry. That's the talk that sends a woman into the kitchen to fashion the puff paste with her own hands in order to have it just as "he" likes it. Blakey doesn't know this, though, and there are more things that he ought to know—and doesn't. Perhaps. life will teach him some of them in time. .It has looked just a lit- tle that way of late. They had been !lining out, and on the way home Blakey commented on the serving of the dinner. "Did you notice that Mrs. Gillespie didn't issue one order to her maid ?" he asked. "She had her stationed behind that screen; where she could command a view of the table in the sideboard mirror, and there was such a perfect understanding between them that Mrs. GIllespie only had to raise.her eyes to that mirror and the thing she wanted was done That's the -we y I't1 like to see you have it, mliy-dear. This ring- .._ - ing a bell and telling what you waist rather mar a dinner. Don't you think. so?" Mrs. Blakey murmured • a weary word to the effect that much depended on ha\,ing an expert Waitress and thought the matter dropped. But next morning she was -roused by her hus- band's voice. "I have it all planned out," he said. "I've been lying awake for two hours getting up n code of signals for you to use in calling Nora to serve the table. I'll write it down for you. This is the idea: One pressure of your foot on the electric button in the floor will-. mean 'clear the table for next course,' two pressures might call_ for repassing of the bread, three would indicate that the glasses needed refilling, and so forth. I think I can make it cover the whole ground." "But, David, it is Nora's duty to watch the glasses and keep them filled without any telling herat all." "I know, but does she do it? � She gets busy with something else and very naturally forgets hat- Now, by this •plan she won't have to tax her mem- ory at all, and you can remind her• without anybody's knowing you've done a thing." "But she'd halve to remember what • the signal stood for." - "Leave that to me," he answered. "I shall make it very plain and easy, and I'll take it down to the office and have two typewritten copies made—one for you and one for Nora." "I—hope Nora will like it," ventured Mrs. Blakey anxiously. "She's a little particular, you know." "She's sure to like it! You women. never seem to understand what a sense of satisf ction it is to the employee when he feels a systematic hand on • the helm. Why, the people who Work for you would rather havethings run pretty strict than not to feel system in the management. They want to know there's a head planning things for them. .I've found that out in business. I tell you, all that housekeeping needs to make it run easy is the application of masculine brains and business meth- ods! Nora will like it, all. right enough." But Nora didn't. Loyal. Mrs. Blakey presented the plan as joyfully as if it were her own' pet project, but her ef- fort to catch and impart her husband's enthusiasm about it was a dead fail- ure. Nora 'looked veryliglum as she pinned the typewritten code of signals up by the kitchen clock, and Mrs. Blakey felt glummer still as she fas- tened her own copy on the edge of her mirrdr and stood mumbling over its words. "'One long ring .and two short -- linger bowls,' " she repeated. " 'One short and two long—repassing article last served.' 'Two long rings—clear table for next course.' 'Three short ;Alga—refill water glasses.' Oh, dear!" She betelte off suddenly.. "I sometimes Wish David wouldn't take se much in- terest in making my work easy." But David's interest kept right up. Me urged the use of the code,with un- tiring zeal, and one day when pretty, black eyed Nora actually came and filled the water glasses in answer to "three short rings" he glowed with un- speakable pride and tleelared that they ' met really, give a Amer. as glanced at Mrs. Blakey, who in her turn kept her eyes determinedly away from the• plaid as she chatted' on with the man at her left. Nora flitted about, deftly removing soup plates. Suddenly Mrs. Blakey felt herself` pierced by her huband's gaze. Great heavens! What was the girl doing? Finger bowls after the soup! Had she given her the wrong signal? The guests were looking puzzled and watching their • hostess. Mrs. Blakey rose to the occasion and.desperately dipped her fingers, while she peremp- torily gave the• signal for next course' Away went' the finger bowls, and Nora, with a wilds. look in her pretty eyes, began to bring in black' coffee. "Horrible!!" ejaculated- Mrs. Blakey to the mean on her Ieft, who had just finished quoting her a -little quatrain of, his own. 'Then she apologized, with 0110 eye on hint and another on Nora, Who was floating_ past her, all uncon- scious of. appealing .glances and furtive clutches at her sleeve. The code of signals was eddying like a whirlpool in Mrs. Blakey's -hind. The coffee was finished and something must be done. She gave one long, continuous ring, and. was filed breathlessly to see what would lien up. A cold perspiration started upon' her fohehead. Another round of finger bowie! And while they were using them, Nora, with a face like a lobster, passed the• bread. - Itwas a long dinner—the largest and most indigestible that either he or Mrs. Blakey had ever eaten -but it cause to an end at last. The guests had de- parted, and -Mr.• Matey stool with his hands in his pockets looking reproach- fully at his wife as she sobbed it out on a sofa pillow. Suddenly shesat up and gave a shriek of laughter. Then another and auother.- "Eleanor! Eleanor!" cried Mr. Bla- key, in alarm. "What's the mattert'Is it—hysterics?" • "IIysteries—no!" she echoed, with another burst of laughter: "It's—it's masculine brains and Business meth- ods!" And- that was oue time when Mr. Blakey spelled- out a -new page in his: .primer of Wee—Chicago Record. Then He Felt Better. In a certain skirmish a Colonel — (general he cause to call himself) got a slight scratch on the leg. The wound was a matter of great glory to him, and he nursed it through after days, growing lamer with every year, that the memory of his bravery might ever be near him. One day late in' his life as he sat nursing his leg and pondering the glo- rious past a young man, visiting the family for the first time, approached and sympathetieally remarked: "Lame, general?" ".Yes, sire" after a pause and with inexpressible solemnity, "I am lame." "Been riding, sir.?" - "No!" with rebuked sternness. "I have not been riding." "Ah, slipped on the ice, general?" "No, sir!" with actual ferocity. "Perhaps, then, you have sprained your ankle, sir?" With painful slowness the old man lifted his pet leg in both hands, set it carefully on the floor, rose slowly from his chair and; looking down upon the unfortunate youth with mingled pity and -wrath, burst forth in the sublimity t'f rage: "Go read the history-_ of your coun- try, you puppy!"—New York Press. One of Nature's Wonders. At the sacred village of Totatri, about 40 miles from Tinnevelly, India, there is one of thelhlost wonderful nat- ural curiosities in the world. It is an oil well containing inexhaustible quan- tities of the liquid.. The well or spring is situated within the celebrated tem- ple of Narayan, said to be about the largest sacred edifice in India. At Baku, in the southeastern part of Cau- casia, there are also wonderful oil wells that spout petroleum high into the air. In September, 1886, a well tapped in the ordindry manner began to spout with such extraordinary force that it deluged the whole district. For eight days the -outflow continued, final- ly reaching an'output of 11,000 tons. Another fountain broke -out in March, 1887, and rose to a height of 350 feet, leaving an enormous petroleum lake.

GONE TO PARIS. • She Represents the National Houses, hold Economic Association, 11frs. Linda Hull Lamed of Syracuse, the president of the National 'louse - hold Econontie association, has gone to Paris to represent this organization at the exposition, to Introduce "house- hold science" as we know ir in this country to the French people and ex- position tourists. A.short time ago the Household Economic association of New York state held its annual meet- ing, delegates de gates attending not only MRS. LINDA EIILL LARKED, from all over the state, but from Penn- sylvania and even Utah. At this meet - Mg Mrs. s I.arned took a farewell of of- ficers and lnenlbers, made an address outlining the plans for next winter and received the'good wishes of all for her work in Paris. She is sure to represent the association and the principles it stands for with credit in the French capital, for she is pile of the most ear- nest -workers in the cause of household science and bas done a great deal for tale association, which is advancing all the time. It has now just completed its third year. A Woman Who Interests Women. The Empress Itugeuie usually passes through Paris on her way to her villa at Cap Martin,. and, though the law against pretenders in no way applies to her and the events of thg third em- pire are as Much ancient history to the mob as those of the days of July, she always travels incognito, in order to avoid the stare and curiosity of the crowd. She has changed so much that she is not likely to be recognized with- out the hint of the name. The proof of this lies in an adventure of hers which occurred recently. As she was coaling •out of a shop she dropped her umbrella. An Englishman who was passing picked it up and restored it to her hand. '•I)o you not remember me, M. la Baron?" said the empress as he would have proceedei' on his way. The pedestrian, who, though English by birth, had inherited a foreign peerage and had known the empress in earlier days, looked hard at her, then removed his headgear reverentially and bowed low, "Pardon, majeste, my eyes were blinded the last time I looked at you.' Mate. Wu In State Attire. Mme. ',Vu, wife of the Chinese min- ister, has sensibly remained faithful to the oriental dress and, aside from her cramped feet, is an object of envy to many a woman of Washington, who would like the opportunity of wearing such comfortable robes. On state oc- casions she wears a brilliant petticoat of red or blue, just short enough to show her tiny feet, and heavily em- broiriered in gold.. Over this she wears a tunic of black and purple, also richly gold embroidered. The large gold eagle on her breast signifies that she stands -In equal rank with her husband and can enter or leave a room side by side w1the him instead of dropping a little behind, as would be required if her rank was lower than his. Her hair is banded with black satin and shows a rare jewel at the front, with artificial flowers forming a pica esquo group back of each ear. Mine. W.u's jewels are said to be almost pric less. • Women's Clubs Iii Germany, In Germany the American Woman's club in Berlin will be most attractive. This is broader in its scope than the American Girls' Art club in Paris, for it aims to offer a trysting place for all our countrywomen who may . be so- journing abroad, whether they be stu- dents or not. It was founded by Mrs. M. B. Willard, a relative of the late Frances Willard, and has as its presi- dent Mrs. White, wife of the embassa- dor. • These clubrooms, which are at Kleist Strasse II, are open all day long. There are newspapers and periodicals in the library as well as both .English and. German books. Then on every Satur- day afternoon an informal reception is held, with an evening reception once a month for gentlemen. It is a fine rendezvous, in a word, for the wander- ing American woman. Working Girls' Hotel. Mies Ina Robertson of Chicago has opened a home for working girls, where board and room can be had for from $2 to $3 a week. Luncheon is 3 cents extra. The hotel is prettily fur- nished. The sleeping rooms contain two beds, and everything for the com- fort of boarders is done. No religious requirements are exacted, the boarders being free, aside from regulations pre- venting in all first class hotels. The home is self supporting and ac- commodates 25. Plans are being made to increase its capacity to four times as many, and In time it is hoped by the management that branches will be established in all parts of the city. Check to Frivolity. "The Chinese minister says the cos - tames worn by American women strike him as being in some respects ridicu- lous," said Mrs. Blykins. "Yes," answered Mr. Bryk ins. "That's owing to his point of view. If he had to pay for a few of them, he'd soon learn to take them _seriously."—Wash- ington Star. FOR LITTLE FOLKS. Dan Rice and the Boys. The late Dan Rice, the famous circus man, was fond of boys and always wanted to see a lot of them in his au- dience. He never gave a performance when the nook and corners were not filled with youngsters who had come in free. One story of this sort is told by Cap- tain George J. Grammer, traffic man- ager of the Lake Shore railroad. At the time of the occurrence Grammer, who lived iu Zanesville, 0., was stand- ing one afternoon with a crowd of other boys, looking longingly into the tent, but not liavitlg the price of ad- mission. It was Mr. Rice's custom to stand at the door until the first grand entry of the circus people, when lie /would leave. On this occasiou be saw the hungry look on the faces of the boys and called them around hint. "You want to go in, don't -you, boys?" "Bet your life!" shouted . back the youngsters. "I'll tell you what. All the boys who are hack here in ten minutes with clean faces and hands get in." The words were hardly out of his mouth before there was a dash for the river, and in less thau seven minutes 200 clean faces and hands came back to the tent. The boys went inside with a rush.

The mem- bers of the company are Ilarry Bode, THE SILVER SING COMPANY, aged 8, captain; Wilbur Ressler, IIer- bert Elshhorn, ltaymoud Benton, George Moerlein and Artie Yetter, They live on Clifton heights, a beauti- ful residence section of the city of Cin- cinnati. A Severe Monkey Mother. 1 once watched a monkey which had a baby in arms being fed with grapes. The youngster was most anxious •to have a grape, but his moths:', being either too selfish to allow hint to share her treat or afraid the fruit might not be good for her sou's digestive organs, would not allow him_ to have any and boxed his ears soundly for being rude enough to attempt to take a grape out of heremouth. The keeper in charge said she did not "spare the rel and spoil the child" when he became too troublesome. As his parent would not give him any fruit, the little fellow tried to get some on his own account and several times escaped from her arms and began to climb the wire netting iu front of his cage, but was promptly hauled back by the tail. At length he managed to get free and, running to the top of his cage, put one hand through the meshes of the wire and pleaded eloquently with his upturned dark little eyes for a "taste," while his mother actually bit herself in rage over her sou's bad be - haver. Courtesy of a Young Icing. The queen regent of Spain is bring- ing up her boy with a regard to those ethics of chivalrous courtesy toward the fair sex that characterize the em- peror of Austria and so many of the princes of the house of Ilapsburg, to which she belongs by birth. Rejane, the well known French actress and creator of the role of Mme. Sans -Gene, in Sardou's play of that name, in re- lating the private audience with which she was honored by Queen Christine at Madrid, describes how the young king, on being summoned by his mother to make the acquaintance of the actress, proceeded to gallantly kiss the latter's hand with a bow on entering the room. At many European courts it is eti- quette for ladies to kiss the hand of the sovereign, even when he belongs to the sterner sex. But the little king of Spain is being manifestly brought up to share the views of his kinsman, Emperor Francis Joseph, to the effect that knightly courtesy is due to every woman, no matter what her rank or social station. That nap. , Roger and I Ras a doggie. When papa came home, he had something fat And round in his pocket; 'twas wriggling at that. We hardly could wait until he hung up his hat For that doggie. We knew it was living, 'cause we could hark And hear a queer crying and trying to bark; I'm sure in that pocket it was pretty dark For that doggie. And when it came out we, both grabbed for a hug; it was just the teentiest, tecntiest pug, Aa fat and as round as a little brown jug, Was that doggie. Isis left side is Roger's, one ear and one eye, The half of his body, his growl and his cry; His little tail quirk is on my side, and I Loves that doggie. —Elizabeth Cherry Waltz. "What a Memory!" A schoolmaster, who had been tell- ing of the doings of Caesar, ended up with: "And all this happened over 1,500 years ago" A little boy, his blue eyes wideopen with wonder, said after a moment's thought: • "Oh, what a memory you've got!" In a Bad Fix. Gadzooks (in a restaurant)—Don't let us sit at that table. I gave the waiter a tip yesterday, and be will expect an- other today. Zounds—Well. how about this table? Gadzooks—Won't do. 1 have never feed the waiter, and be would doubt- less expect ale to begitle today.—New York Tribune. Webster and the Plow. "Daniel Webster, when at his home at Marshfield, woteld never speak on poli- tics when here, but he would talk to the assembled neighbors and guests on matters pertaining to farming. On one occasion some Boston friends present- ed him with an enormous plow to use en his farm. Webster gave out word that on a certain day it would be chris- tened. The day arrived, and tho sur- rounding farmers for miles came to witness the event. A dozen teams with aristocratic occupants came down from Boston. It was expected by ev- ery one that Webster would make a great speeeh on the occasion, review- ing the history of farming back to the time when Cincinnatus abdicated the most mighty throne in the world to cultivate cabbages in his Roman gar- den. "The plow was brought out, and ten yoke of splendid oxen were hitched in front. More than two hundred people stood around on the tiptoe of expecta- tion. Webster soon made his appear- ance. He had been calling spirits from the vasty deep, and his gait was some- what uncertain. Seizing the plow handles and spreading his feet, he Yell- ed to me in his deep bass voice: "'Are you ready, Wright?' "'All ready, Mr. Webster,' was the reply, meaning, of course, to the speech. "Webster straightened himself up by a mighty effort and shouted: "'Then let her rip!' ' "The whole crowd dropped to the ground and roared with laughter, while Webster, with his big plow, pro- ceeded. to rip up the soil.. The same plow can now be seen on top of the Faneuil Hall market in Boseen and is a conspicuous object for miles`llround." —Lewiston Journal. The Belief In Charms. A belief in charms has existed in all ages and has been sha.'d by all peo- ples. It is a natural res• of supersti- tion. The phylacteries worn by Mo- hammedan and Jewish women on the forehead form but one phase of this universal belief. Faith, however, is deemed essential and Is true of all tal- ismans that are copied from old pat- terns and not constructed according to the rules of the cabalistic art. Talismans to be efficacious must be constructed when the planets are in benefit configuration. It is then that the magic geometrical words and fig- ures inscribed thereon are more potent in their results for good. The date of birth of ehe person for whom the talis- man is made must also be considered, so that his particular lucky star is tak- en into consideration. Many greet men were believers in talismans and wore them constantly. Napoleon especially eves very supersti- tions and carried on his person a charm given to him by, an Egyptian priest, «-hied he regarded as being responsi- ble for his great success in battle. The Rothschild family, it is said, also has a talisman, which Is an heirloom. It is in the shape of n snuffbox and is said to have brought the family the great wealth for wbicb it is celebrated.—New York Herald. Settled Out of Court. A barrister riding his bicycle on a path was caught by a policeman. The gentleman at once came off the path and tried to reason with the policeman. "You aren't really going to run me in for this?" he asked. "Yes, sir. 1 can't help it." "Well; come in here (a public house close by), and we will talk about it." The policeman followed the gentle- man, who ordered two glasses of beer, one for himself, the other for the po- liceman, both of which were finished before he again remarked: "Surely you are not really going to make a fuss about this?" "I must, sir. It's my business." "Ah! Then at the same time it will be my business to report you for drink- ing beer while on duty." The policeman's expression sudden- ly changed. "You're a lawyer, I suppose, sir?" "Yes." "And a sharp one, too," be said as he Went out and left the gentleman to continue his ride.—London Answers. One Thing Nee(iful, Irate Father (of pretty girl)—What! Is it possible you are here again after the treatment you received last night! Young Man—Yes, sir. When you kicked me down stairs and set the dog on me, the animal tore a large piece from my trousers. Irate Father—Well, isn't that enough? What more do you want? Young Man—If it isn't too much trouble, sir, 1 would like that piece of cloth.—Chicago News. An Ear Teat. A novel and curious test for deafness or approaching deafness has been de- scribed by a Paris specialist. If the handle of a vibrating tuning fork be applied to the knee or other bony por- tion of the human frame, the sound / cannot be heard by the person who possesses an unimpaired ear, but if the ear be attacked by disease then the note can be heard distinctly. The Same Thing. "I'm sorry we haven't much of a di- ner,'i said Spatts to Bloobumper, whom be had urged to stay for that meal. "You ought to have dropped iii last evening. We had a stunning dinljer then." "Why, papa," chirped Sammy Spatts, "that's just what you told Mr. Taddells at dinner yesterday!" — Detroit Free Press. She Walked on Him. "Did you propose to her? What was the result?" "Well, she took me for a walk." "Ah! To give you a chance to tell her, eh?" "Not at all. 1 say she took me for a walk because she used me as if I was one. She got on to me with both feet." —Philadelphia Press. Repeated. - "Ah, that was a rare one!" he ex- claimed. atter snatching a kiss.

Played His Client False. "i shall have to make a lawyer onto! that boy of mine. I don't see any other way out of it," declared the well known attorney, with a laugh. "He came into my office the other day on his way home from school and laid a nickel down on the desk before me. " 'What is this for, son?' I asked. "'Retainer,' be answered soberly. "'Very well,' said I, entering into the joke. `What have I been retained upon?' "My boy dug down Into his pocket and produced a note from his teacher and placed it before me without com- ment. It was to the effect that he had been 'cutting up' and advised a whip- ping. " `Now, what would you advise?' asked he in a businesslike voice after I had read the note and saw the trap that young rascal led me into. "'I think that out first move should be to apply for a change of venue,' said I. " `Very well,' he answered. 'You're handling the ease.' - "'Then we will turn the note over to your mother,' said I. "I saw the young imp's face fall at this, but he braced up and said: "'See here, pop, you're bound to see me through on this, 'cause you've ac- cepted my retainer, you know!' " `I'll argue your case before the court,' I answered, 'but you will have to accept the decision. I would not dare to attempt to influence the court' "Well, I pleaded the boy's case, promptly had it thrown out of court, and the boy got what he deserved—a good whipping. "It was the first time I ever played false to a client."—Detroit Free Press. 'Horses Wounded In Battle. Horses wounded on the battlefield are duly attended to when no danger to human life is involved. The veteri- nary officer in charge is expected to follow close on the fighting line and, together with a number of aids, to in- spect properly wounded animals and give instructions for their removal or slaughter, as the case may be.' The veterinary surgeon is naturally expos- ed to considerable danger, but if his work is not carried out during the progress of hostilities in all probability it cannot be accomplished afterward, for, although the royal army medical corps is allowed to proceed to the res- cue of the wounded men under the Red Cross, the members of the army veterinary department are not permit- ted to attend to the injured horses, be- cause they are not under the protection of the Geneva convention, which makes no provision whatsoever for wounded animals. At the conclusion of the battle, if it has been decisive and one or other of the combatant armies has been driven from the field, a party of veterinary surgeons, with their assistants, Is sent out to examine every animal that has fallen and to shoot such as are badly wounded. Those suffering from only slight injuries are collected and taken to the veterinary hospititl lines, formed as fixed camps and established on a similar basis to those of the royal ar- my nieltlical corps. — Pe arson's Maga- zine. A Dry Smoke. If you see a man with an unlighted cigar between his lips, it is not be- cause he is looking -for a light, but be- cause he is indulging in the pleasure of a "dry smoke." How there can be any enjoyment in this to a•smoker is not readily apparent, but the fact remains that there is much satisfaotion in the habit, and, besides, there are no bane- ful effects. For inveterate smokers the dry smoke is a good habit to cultivate. It enables malty slaves of the weed to decrease the number of cigars actually smoked in a day without canting much incon- venience. Of course an inveterate smoker would find no pleasure in the habit at the start, but perseverance. is necessary, and after awhile he will en- joy his dry smoke almost as much as the real one. It is a good way to be- gin if you desire to stop smoking. Try it and see.—New York Herald. He Grabbed the Offer. Ex -Governor George W. Peck of Wisconsin, author of "Peck's Bad Boy," was running a little country weekly in the pineries iu the early six- ties. It was an unimportant sheet save for one column of jokes which Peck wrote each week. This depart- ment.caught the eye of "Brick" Pom- eroy, who was then printing his Dem- ocrat in Lacrosse, Wis., and one day he wrote to Peck asking him whether be would be willing to go down to La- crosse and work for The Democrat at $25 a week. Three days later Mr. Pomeroy got this telegram: "I accept your offer quicker than instahtly. For heaven's sake don't withdraw it!" The Automobile ananetry.

That' the talk that sends a woman into th kitchen to fashion the puff paste wit her own hands in order to have it jus as "he" likes it. Blakey doesn't kno this, though, and there are more thing that he ought to know—and doesn't 'Perhaps life will teach him some o them in time. It has looked just a lit tle that way of late. They had been dining out, and the way home Blakey commented o the serving of the dinner. "Did you notice that Mrs. Gillespie didn't issue one order to her maid?" he asked. "She had her stationed behind that screen, where she could command a view of the table in the sideboard mirror, and there was such a perfect understanding between them that Mrs. Gillespie only had td raise her eyes to that mirror and the thing she wanted was done. That's the way I'd like to see you have it, my dear. This ring- ing a •bell and telling what you want rather mar a dinner. Don't you think. so?" Mrs. Blakey murmured a weary word to the effect that much depended on having an, expert waitress and thought the matter dropped. But next morning she was roused by her hus- band's voics" "I have it all planned out," he said. "I've been lying awake for two hours getting up a code of signals for you `to use in calling Nora to serve the table. I'll write it down for you. This is the idea: One pressure of your foot on the electric button in the floor will mean 'clear the table for next course,' two pressures might call for repassing of the bread, three would indicate that the glasses needed refilling, and so forth. I think I can make it cover the whole ground." • "But, David, it is Nora's duty% to watch the glasses and keep them filled without any telling her at all.". "I know, but does she do it? She gets busy with something else and very naturally forgets that. Now, by this plan she won't have to tax her mem- ory at all, and you can remind her without anybody's knowing you've done a thing." "But she'd have to remember what the signal stood for." "Leave that to me," he answered. "I shall make it very plain and easy, and I'll take it down to the office and have two typewritten copies made—one for you and one for Nora." "I—hope Nora will like it," ventured Mrs. Blakey anxiously. "She's a little particular, you know." "She's sure to like it! You women, never seem to understand what a sense of satisfaction it is to the employee when he feels a systematic hand on the helm. Why, the people who work for you would rather have things run pretty strict than not to feel system in the management. They want to know there's a head planning things for them. I've found that out in business. I tell you, all that housekeeping needs to make it run easy is the application of masculine brains and business meth- ods! Nora will like it, all right enough." But Nora didn't. Loyal Mrs. Blakey presented the plan as joyfully as if it were her own pet project, but her ef- fort to catch and impart her husband's enthusiasm about it was a dead fail- ure. Nora looked very "glum as she pinned the typewritten code of signals up by the kitchen clock, and Mrs. Blakey felt glummer still as she fas- tened her own copy on the edge of her mirror and stood mumbling over its words. "'One long ring and two short— finger bowls,' " she repeated. "'One short and two long—repassing article last served.' 'Two long rings—clear table for next course.' 'Three short ,,'digs—refill water glasses.' Oh, dear!" the b,tohe bff suddenly. "I sometimes wish David wouldn't take se much in- terest in making my work easy." But David's interest kept right up. He urged the use of the code,with un- tiring zeal, and one day when pretty, black eyed Nora actually came and filled the water glasses iu answer to "three short rings" he glowed with un- sjeakable pride and declared that they must really give a dinner, at he s, m n- n. et at 0 r - .v e h st f- n, ey s. 11 it er m s 0 h w f o • n "Eight is the proper number for our table," he told his wife. And then be began to plan the menu. Mrs. Blakey was a cheerful, gay lit tie body at the time of her marriage and the sparkle isn't entirely gone. She Looked very pretty on the night of the dinner. The table was perfect; the cut glass. blazed with rainbow hues, the silver dazzled and the floral cen- terpiece was a credit to Mr. Blakey's taste. The feast was to be rather more pretentious than anything Mr. Blakey had heretofore planned, but he had no fears about the Service. He relied on the code. Mrs. Blakey, on her part, was determined to please David by ap- `peering quite unconscious whenever she signaled Nora. The consequence was that her smiles and attention to the man on her .left during the soup course half turned his head. "How delightfully clever; do tell me another!" Mrs. Blakey was saying to him, brightly, as her small foot pressed the button and telegraphed Nora to "clear table for next course." Nora appeared—a dream of delight in a black dress, an exquisite apron and a brand new butterfly cap that Mr. Blakey himself had • selected and brought home' for the occasion. She waited for the cue. She never so much as glanced at Mrs. Blakey, who in her turn kept her eyes determinedly away from the maid as she chatted on with the man at her left. Nora flitted about, deftly removing soup plates. Suddenly .Mrs. Blakey felt herself pierced by her hu'sband's gaze. Great heavens! What was the girl doing? Finger bowls after the soup! Had she given her the wrong signal? The guests were looking puzzled and watching their hostess. Mrs. Blakey rose to the occasion and , desperately dipped her fingers, while she peremp- torily gavthe signal for next course' Away wen the finger bo :vis, and Nora, with a wit look in her pretty eyes, began to bring in black coffee. "Horrible!" ejaculated Mrs. Blakey to the man on her left, who had just finished quoting her a little quatrain of his own. Then she apologized, with one eye on him and another on Nora, who was floating past her, all uncon- scious of appealing glances and furtive clutches at her sleeve. The code of signals was eddying like a whirlpool In Mrs. Blakey's mind. The coffee was finished and something must be done. She gave one long, continuous ring, and wat hed breathlessly to see what would tsa'n up. A cold perspiration started upon her forehead. smother round of finger bowls! And while they were using them, Nora, with a face like a lobster, passed the bread. It was a long dinner—the largest and most indigestible that either he or Mrs. Blakey had ever eaten—but it came to an end at last. The guests had de- parted, and Mr. _ Blakey stood with his hands in his pockets looking reproach- fully at his wife as she sobbed it out on •a sofa pillow. Suddenly .she sat up and gave a shriek of laughter. Then anether and` another. "Eleanor! Eleanor!" cried Mr. Bla- key, in alarm. "What's the matter? Is it—hysterics?" "Hysterics—no!" she echoed, with another burst of laughter. "It's—it's masculine brains and business meth- ods!" , And that was one time when Mr. a Blakey spelled out new page in his primer of life,—Chicago Record. • Then He Felt Better. In a certain skirmish a Colonel — (general he came to call himself) got a slight scratch on the leg. The wound was a matter of great glory to him, and he nursed it through after days, growing lamer with every year, that the memory of his bravery might ever be near him. One day late in his life as he sat nursing his leg and pondering the glo- rious past a young man, visiting the family for the first time, approached and sympathetically remarked: "Lame, general?" - "Yes, sir " after a pause and with inexpressible solemnity, "I am lame." "Been riding, sir?" "No!" with rebuked sternness. "I have not been riding." "Ah, slipped on the ice, general?" "No, sir!" with actual ferocity. "Perhaps, then, you have sprained your ankle, sir?" With painful slowness the old man lifted his pet leg in both hands, set it carefully on the floor, rose slowly from his chair and, looking down upon the unfortunate youth with mingled pity and wrath, burst forth in the sublimity bf rage: "Go read the history of your coun- try, you puppy!"—New York Press. One of Nature'. Wonders. At the sacred village of Totatri, about 40 miles from Tinnevelly, India, there is one of the host wonderful nat- ural curiosities in the world. It is an oil well containing inexhaustible quan- tities of the liquid. The well or spring is situated within the celebrated tem- ple of Narayan, said to be about the largest sacred edifice in India. At Baku, in the southeastern part of Cau- casia, there are also wonderful oil wells that spout petroleum high into the air. In September, 1880, a well tapped in the ordinitry manner began to spout with' such extraordinary force that it deluged the whole district. For eight days the outflow continued, final- ly reaching an output of 11,000 tons. Another fountain broke -out in March, 1887, and rose to a height of 350 feet, leaving an enormous petroleum lake.

S he Represents the National House- hold Economic Association. Mrs. Linda Hull Larned of Syracuse, the -president of the National House- hold Economic association, has gone to Paris to represent this organization at the exposition, to introduce "house- hold science" as we know it- in this country to the French people and ex- position tourists. A short time ago the Household Economic association of New York state held its annual meet- ing, with delegates attending not only MRS. LINDA DULL LARl1'ED. from all over the state, but from Penn- sylvania and even Utah. At this meet- ing Mrs. Lal'ned took a farewell of of- ficers and members, made an address outlining the plans for next winter and received the good wishes of all for her work in Paris. She is sure to represent the association and the principles it stands for with credit in the French capital, for she is one of the most ear- nest -workers in the cause of household science and has done a great deal for the association, which is advancing all the time. It has now just completed its third year. A Woman Who Interest■ Women. The Empress Eugenie usually passes through Paris on her way to her villa at Cap Martin, and, though the law against pretenders in no way applies to her and the events of the third em- pire are as much ancient history to the mob as those of the days of July, she always travels incognito, in order to avoid, the stare and cariosity of the crowd. She has changed so much that she is not likely to be recognized with- out the hint of the name. The »roof of this lies in an adventure of hers which occurred recently. As she was coming out of a shop she dropped her umbrella. An Englishman who was passing picked it up and restored it to her hand. "Do you not remember me, M. la Baron?" said the empress as he would have proceeded on his way. The pedestrian, who, though English by birth, had inherited a foreign peerage and had known the empress in earlier days, looked hard at her, then removed his headgear reverentially and bowed low, "Pardon, majeste, my eyes were blinded the last time I looked at you." Mme. Wu In State Attire. Mme. •Wu, wife of the Chinese min- ister, has sensibly remained faithful to the oriental dress and, aside from her cramped feet, is an object of envy to many a woman of Washington, who would like the opportunity of wearing such comfortable robes. On state oc- casions she wears a brilliant petticoat of red or blue, just short enough to show her tiny feet, and heavily em- broidered in gold.- Over this she wears a tunic of black and purple, also richly gold embroidered. The large gold eagle on her breast signifies that she stands "in equal rank with her husband and can enter or leave a room side by side with him instead of dropping a little behind, as would be required if her rank was lower than Isis. Her hair is banded with black satin and shows a rare jewel at the front, with artificial flowers forming a picturesque group back of each ear. Mme- Wu's jewels are said to be almost pric less. Women's Clubs In Germany, In Germany the American Wouian's club in Berlin will be most attractive. This is broader in its scope than the American Girls' Art club in Paris, for it aims to offer a trysting place for all our countrywomen who may be so- journing abroad, whether they be stu- dents or not. It was founded by Mrs. M. B. Willard, a relative of the late Frances Willard, and has as its presi- dent Mrs. White, wife of the embassa- dor. These clubrooms, which are at Kleist Strasse II, are open all day long. There are newspapers and periodicals in the library as well as both English and German books. Then on every Satur- day afternoon an informal reception is held, with an evening n � n„ reception once a month for gentlemen. It is a fine rendezvous, in a word, for the wander- ing American woman. Working Girls' Hotel. Miss Ina Robertson of Chicago has opened a home for working girls, where board and room can be had for from $2 to $3 a week. Luncheon is 3 cents extra. The hotel Is prettily fur- nished. The sleeping rooms contain two beds,' and everything for the com- fort of boarders is done. No religious requirements are exacted, the boarders being free, aside from regulations pre' veiling in all first class hotels. The home is self supporting and ac- commodates 25. Plans are being made to increase its capacity to four times as many, and in time it is hoped by the e mans em g eat that branches will be established in all parts of the city. Check to Frivolity.. "The Chinese minister says the cos - tames worn by American women strike him as being in some respects ridicu- lous," said Mrs. Blykins. "Yes," answered Mr. Blykins. "That's owing to his point of view. If be had to pay for a few of them, he'd soon learn to take them seriously."—Waab- ington Star. Dan jtice and the Boys. The late Dan lolls, the famous circus man, was fond of boys and always wanted to see a lot of them in his au- dience. He never gave a performance when the nooks and corners were not filled with youngsters who bad come in free. One story of this sort is told by Cap- tain George J. Grammer, traffic man- ager of the Lake Shore railroad. At the time of the occurrence Grammer, who lived in Zanesville. 0., was stand- ing one afternoon with a crowd of other boys, looking longingly into the tent, but not haviiig the price of ad- mission. It was Mr. Rice's custom to stand at the door until the first grand entry of the circus people, when he Hould leave. On this occasion he saw the hungry look on the faces of the boys and called them around him. "You want to go in, don't you, boys?" "Bet your life!" shouted back the youngsters. • "I'll tell you what. All the boys who are hack here in ten minutes with clean faces and hands get in." The words were hardly out of his mouth before there was a dash for the river, and in less than seven minutes 200 clean faces and hands came back to the tent. The boys went inside with a rush.

The youngster was most anxious to have a grape, but his mother, beiug either too selfish to allow him to share her treat or afraid the fruit might not be good for her sou's digestive organs, would not allow ilial to have any and boxed his ears soundly for being rude enough to attempt to take a grape out of her"mouth. The keeper in charge said she did not "spare the roil and spoil the child" when he became too troublesome. As his parent would not give hien any fruit, the little fellow tried to get some on his own account and several times escaped from her arras and began to climb the wire netting in front of his cage, but was promptly hauled back by the tail. At length be managed to get free and, running to the top of his cage, put one hand through the meshes of the wire and pleaded eloquently with his upturned dark little eyes for a "taste," while his mother actually bit herself in rage over her sou's bad be- havior. Courtesy of a Young King. The queen regent of Spain is bring- ing up her boy with a regard to those ethics of chivalrous courtesy toward the fair sex that characterize the em- peror of Austria and so many of the princes of the house of Hapsburg, to which she belongs by birth. Rejane, the well known French actress and creator of the role of Mme. Sans -Gene, in Sardou's play of that name, in re- lating the private audience with which she was honored by Queen Christine at Madrid, describes how the young king, on being summoned by his mother to make the acquaintance of the actress, proceeded to gallantly kiss the latter's hand with a bow on entering the room. At many European courts it is eti- quette for ladles to kiss the hand of the sovereign, even when he belongs to the sterner sex. But the Little king of Spain is being manifestly brought up to share the views of his kinsman, Emperor Francis Joseph, to the effect that knightly courtesy is due to every woman, no matter what her rank or social station.

A schoolmaster, who had been tell- ing of the doings of Ctesar, ended up with: "And all this happened over 1,500 years ago," A little boy, his blue eyes wideopen with wonder, said after a moment's thought: t.

"Daniel Webster, when at his home at Marshfield, would never speak on poli- tics when here, but he would talk to the assembled neighbors and guests on matters pertaining to farming. On one occasion some Boston friends present- ed him with an enormous plow to use on his farm. Webster gave out word that on a certain day it would be chris- tened. The day arrived, and the sur- rounding farmers for miles came to witness the event. A dozen teams with aristocratic occupants came down from Boston. It was expected by ev- ery one that Webster would make a great speeeh on the occasion, review- ing the history of farming back to the time when Cincinnatus abdicated the most mighty throne in the world to cultivate cabbages in his Roman gar- den. "The plow was brought out, and ten yoke of splendid oxen were hitched in front. More than two hundred people stood around on the tiptoe of expecta- tion. Webster soon made his appear- ance. He had been calling spirits from the vasty deep, and his gait was some- what uncertain. Seizing the R1ow handles and spreading his feet, he yell- ed to me in his deep bass voice: "'Are you ready, Wright?' "'All ready, Mr. Webster,' was the reply, meaning, of course, fcr the speech. "Webster straightened himself up by a mighty effort and shouted: "'Then let her rip!' "The whole crowd dropped to the ground and roared with laughter, while Webster, with his big plow, pro- ceeded to rip up the soil. The same plow can now be seen on top of the I+'aneuil Hall market in BosSsu and is a conspicuous object for miles round." —Lewiston Journal. The Belief In Charms. A belief in charms has existed in all ages and has been shared by all peo- ples. It is a natural result of supersti- tion. The pbyliicteries worn by Mo- hammedan and Jewish women on the forehead form but one phase of this universal belief. Faith, however, is deemed essential and is true of all tal- ismans that are copied from old pat- terns and not constructed according to the rules of the cabalistic art. Talismans to be efficacious must be constructed when the planets are in beneiic configuration. It is then that the magic geometrical words " and fig- ures inscribed thereon are more potent in their results -1'0r good. The date of birth of the person for whom the talis- man is made must also be considered, so that his particular lucky star is tak- en into consideration. Many great men were believers in talismans and wore- them constantly. Napoleon especially,,was very supersti- tions and carried on his person a charm given to him by an Egyptian priest, R-hic'h he regardttd as being responsi- ble for his great success in battle. The Rothschild family, it is said, also has a talisman, which is an heirloom. It is in the shape of n snuffbox and is said to have brought the family the great wealth for which it is celebrated,—New York Herald. Settled Ont of Court. A barrister riding his bicycle on a path was caught by a policeman. The gentlemtlan at once came off the path and tried to reason with the policeman. "Yeti aren't really going to run me' in for this?" he asked. • "Yes, sir. I can't help it." "Well, come in here (a public house close by), and we will talk about it." The policeman followed the gentle- man, who ordered two glasses of beer, one for himself, the other for the po- liceman, both of which were finished before he again remarked: "Surely you are not really going to make a fuss about this?" "I must, sir. It's my business." "Ah! Then at the same time it will be my business to report you for drink- ing beer while on duty." The policeman's expression sudden- ly changed. "You're a lawyer, I suppose, sir?" "Yes." "And a sharp one, too," he said as he s-ent out and left the gentleman to continue his ride.—London Answers. One Thing Needful.

A novel and curious test for deafness or approaching deafness has been de- scribed by a Paris specialist.

"Well, I pleaded the boy's case, promptly had it thrown out of court, and the boy got what he deserved—n good whipping. "It was the first time I ever played false to a client."—Detroit Free Press. Horses Wounded In Battle. Horses wounded on the battlefield are duly attended to when no danger to human life is involved. The veteri- nary officer in charge is expected to follow close on the fighting line and, together with a number of aids, to in- spect properly wounded animals and give instructions for their removal or slaughter, as the case may be. - The veterinaty surgeon Is naturally expos- ed to considerable danger, but if his work is not carried out during the progress of hostilities in all probability it cannot be accomplished afterward, for, although the royal army medical corps is allowed to proceed to the res- cue of the wounded men under the Red Cross, the members of the army veterinary department are not permit- ted to attend to the injured horses. be- cause they are not under the protection of the Geneva convention, which makes no provision whatsoever for wounded animals. At the conclusion of the battle, if it bas been decisive and one or other of the combatant armies has been driven from the field, a party of veterinary surgeons, with their assistants, is sent out to examine every animal that has fallen and to shoot such as are badly wounded. Those s"ufPering from only slight injuries are collected and taken to the veterinary hospital lines, formed as fixed camps and established on a similar basis tothose of the royal ar- my medical corps. — Pearson's Maga- zine. A Dry Smoke. If you see a man with an unlighted cigar between his lips, it is not be- cause ite is looking for a light, but be- cause he is indulging in the pleasure of a "dry smoke." How there can be any enjoyment in this to a.smoker is not readily apparent, but the fact remains that there is much satisfaotion in the habit, and, besides, there are no bane- ful effects. For inveterate smokers the dry smoke is a good habit to cultivate. It enables many slaves of the weed to decrease the number of cigars actually smoked in a day without causing much incon- venience. Of course an inveterate smoker would find no pleasure in the habit at the start, but perseverabcse is necessary, and after awhile he will en- joy his dry smoke almost as much as the real one. It is a good way to be- gin if you desire to stop smoking. Try it and see.—New York Herald. Ile Grabbed the Offer. Ex -Governor George W. Peck of Wisconsin, author of "Peck's Bad Boy," was running a little country weekly in the pineries in the early six- ties. It was an unimportant sheet save for one column of jokes which Peck wrote each week. This depart- ment.caught the eye of "Brick" Pom- eroy, who was then printing his Dem- ocrat in Lacrosse, Wis., and one day Ile wrote to Peck asking him whether he would be willing to go down to La- crosse and work for The Democrat at $25 a week. Three days later Mr. Pomeroy got this telegram: "I accept your offer quicker than instalitly. For heaven's sake don't withdraw it!" The Automobile anunstry.
