PILCHARD FISHING.
HOW THIS INDUSTRY IS CARRIED ON
ALONG CORNISH COASTS.
Season Opens In .tagu.t and Coatis.
tee Through the 1-ear—The Datat/
Fish, Traveling In School., Are
Caught by the Millions.
The sardine becomes pilchard when
it arrives on the Cornish coast after its
long Swim from the deep blue waters
of the Mediterranean. It gets rid of
some of its daintiness in journeying
through the troubled waters of the bay
of Biscay, putting on flesh and growing
hardy and becoming more tit for sur-
vival in the struggle for life in colder
waters.
The pilchard fishery begins in earnest
on the south' coast of Cornwall in Au-
gust and continues through tale year.
The summer fish, though small, are fat,
and prices rule high. Sometimes' the
season opens badly. The drift net fish-
ermen scour the sea from the Eddy-
stone to the Lizard and return with
small catches and blank faces, scarce
a sea bird hovering over the calm wa-
ters to give them a friendly lead. If
there are fish they are swimming low
and will not rise.
The fish are there, but they are wait-
ing for a storm, and when the storm
comes they rise to listen to its music,
and the fishers call back iu the early
morning with beaming faces and boats
full of spoil. Their harvest has begun.
-This time the waters were swarming
with- pilchards, and all the sea birds
were active, hovering over and feeding
on them as they traveled eastward in
countless millions. Always following
the same ratite, they travel to large
bodies, called schools, and• a school in
shallow water changes the color of the
sea to deep ruby: Our fishermen call
it blood color.
The pilchard fishery is practically
confined to the coasts of Cornwall. Al-
though a pilchard is not much smaller
than the herring, three pilchards weigh-
ing two herrings, its consumption in the
United Kingdom is comparatively nit
As "Cornish sardines in oil" they are
exported to Australia' and South Africa,
and from 50,000 to 60,000 hogsheads are
pickled In salt brine in huge tanks and
exported to Italy. This Italian export
trade is centuries old. These pilchards
are the cheap and wholesome food of
the working classes in . towns and of
peasants in the country.
Oue of the most attractive sights on
the Cornish coast ou a dark night is the

lievagissey. Looe and Poiperro send
out a fleet of about 250 boats, and all
their lights shine steadily when the sea
is calm, tali, dark cliffs forming the
background. While drifting they form
illuminated figures, inducing one to
think of the streets and squares and
crescents of a city brilliantly lighted.
'te figures vary at times with the cur-
rents, but the lights keep their respec-
tive distances. Then, one by one, they
are extinguished as the boats take In
their nets and set sail for their respec=
tive ports.
The pilebard Is 'worth looking at, even
when strung upon a fisher's fingers—

ing lighter and lighter until it meets`
the sliver and disappears. No two are
marked quite alike of alt the =Triads
which you may see around yofl 1 in
an open boat fishing for politick or
apiuniug for mackerel.
A school travels at about the rate
of twenty miles a day and may be
seen at times traveling as though
asleep, thousands on thousands pass-
ing under your boat as though there
were no end to the procession. Now
and then streaks of bright metallic
light are visible, .mate fiaetles, when
fish turn a little and show their silver
merltings..4t times they .seem to wake
'rip and' gambol, aria then there will be
ripples on the sea and a stirring of.the
surface info crystal flakes. The fisher.
men say the fish are "brimeing," and
when the "being" is at night the
sea is excited o a phosphorescent glow
comparable only to itself for beauty.
But let a pot'polse or a rargual whale
make its appearance, and the gambols
tease like Magic. 'tchel" lliicllll:id is so
dainty that every Bahia the sea larger
than itself seems to"pt'ey upon it, and
It has no more ardent admirer than the
greedy dogfish. It is a very dainty
feeder, feeding mainly' upon the float-
ing spores of seaweed, diaphanous
medusae and larval forms of crabs and
lobsters. No wonder it is such a favor-
ite with deep sea fishes of epicurean
tastes!
The pilchard does not take the hook,
but is enmeshed in drift nets or,encir-
cled in large seines. Seining is a very
old Industry, now practically aban-
doned on the south coast. Still, there
are seines at Coverack, St. Iva, Nea-
ly and as far north as Bude. When
great catches are made by the seines,
the drift fishermen suffer through low-
ering of prices. Practically the whole
population of towns like Mevagissey,
Looe and Poiperro depend on the drift
pilchard fishery for subsistence during
more than one-half the year. Only par-
tial failure brings great hardship in its
train. Our fishers are not paid regular
wages, but take "shares." Small catch-
es with high prices spell failure, as
also do large catches with prices ridic-
ulously low. The Italian houses find
the present supply of 'about 21,000,000
tieh In casks annually sufficient for the
peasants, in addition to the supply of
the same fish, though of a smaller size,
from Spain.

STEVENSON'S THEORY.
Ithikaltsing Tale of the Novelist sad
a Detective.
Scotland Yard would no doubt scorn
to take a story writer into its councils
as an American detective consulted R.
L. Stevenson. Arthur Johnstone in his
"Stevenson In the Pacific" tells the
striking tale, leaving you, however,
tantalised with the desire to know
what the case was and what were the
respective solutions of the professional
and the amateur detectives, says T.
P.'s London Weekly -
As they sat together one evening on
the veranda of an inn at Waikiki the
detective confided to Stevenson a case
of extreme difficulty he bad in hand.
and also his theory of its solution. As
Stevenson hardly seemed to attend, for
.be sat looking dreamily at the sea, the
detective left him to have a chat with
the more responsive landlord.
On his return to the veranda, how-
ever, Stevenson suddenly roused him-
self to gay: "I think I hate`solved that
riddle of yours. You see, it's just like
Writing a story. If you go at it right,
it will welt out right. Now, your theo-
ry does not do at all because it will
never work out. Let me give you my
theory of the case, and then' tell me
what you think of It"
The detective did not at first think
anything of Stevenson's theory of the
case. It was daring even for a theory
and dangerous to work if it did not
happen to come off. But on thinking It
well over, with Stevenson's shining
eyes fixed intently on his face, the pro-
fessional began to believe there was
something in it.
When Stevenson at last asked trium-
phantly, "Well?' be repifed, "Well, sir.
I shall try your theory, but if it doesn't
win yon and I will lose between us the
thousand dollar fee I am to be paid for
a conviction." At this Stevenson laugh-
ed and said, "Sir, if it doesn't win I
will pay you the thousand dollars and
throw yon the theory In for nothing."
But it won.
RACING WITH OXEN.
An Odd Sport Popular In Rural Dta-
triet. In Germany.
In many of the out of the way dis-
tricts of Germany ox racing bas long
been a very popular @pert. The en-
trance fee for the races is small, but
the Waits must be ridden by their own-
ers, Therider is not allowed to have
either whip or spur, and he must ride
his animal bareback, trusting to his
voice to guide the beast. It !e here
that the skill of the rider comes into
play, as everything depends upon the
training of the ox and the ability of the
owner to direct his movements. As the
oxen do not race on a track 1t 1s no
easy matter to guide them. The race
course le a field perhaps a mile square,
the start being made at one side and
the finish at the other. Speed is of sec-
ondary importance In the race. Like
golf, the sport requires accuracy, and
the rider who can force bis lumbering
charger to go In a straight line is cer-
tain to win. •
When ail tbc'e ampetitbes are lined up
at the startlnjpolnt the signal to begin
the race is given. Then the fun com-
mences, for in spite of the riders' ef-
forts the *ear lethally refuse to head
toward the finish mark. Besides, the
difficulties are greatly Increased from
the taettiit the onlookers are allowed
'to be In the fleld and may do anything
to Interfere with the contestants so
long a8 they do not touch him or the
beast. Though oxen are naturally the
least excitable of animals, the noise of
the spectators soon reduces them to a
state of utter bewilderment Often an
hour will pass before one of the oxen
is ridden under the wire. The victor
receives a small money prize, which Is
nothing compared to the honors
brought him by his victory, and the
animal is decorated with garlands of
flowers. Among the peasants great
events are reckoned from the time So.
and -so won the ox race.—New York
Herald.
Not a New Csetone.
Laxity in public worship bas long
n a theme for preachers. In 1741
one of them wrote of the congregation
of St. James', Piccadilly, London, that
"they seem to be more taken up with
viewing and contemplating each other's
dress and equipage than In paying
their devotions to the Divine Being
they pretend to adore, and it is usual to
see this set of people bowing to their
neighbors, with a 'Glory be to the Fa-
ther' In their mouths" And again,
'The ladles show surprising memories
on this occasion, being able to relate on
their return borne what clothes every
woman of figure had on from head to
foot, the fineness of the lace and the
color of ever ribbon worn in the as-
sembly."

"We freeze ail our garbage solid be-
fore we send it away," says Chief En-
gineer G. H. Sbertenlieb of the Be11e-
vue-Stratford, Philadelphia, to a Rec-
ord reporter. "That is to make it
entirely odorleea and to stop all fer-
mentation. In that shape It U easily

ORIGIN OF THE WALTZ.
thi■ Dance Was First Performed a.
a Religion. Ceremony.
Of all the millions who waltz, who
can tell how this famous dance orig-
inated? The story Is a curious one. It
la wrongly supposed that France re-
ceived the waltz frmn Germany toward
the close of the eighteenth century.
The waltz did not emanate in Its pres-
ent form from the brain of a dancing
master. Long before 1780, the time It
is first mentioned ander this name, it
was displayed on the village greens.
The waltz was first danced in the
church and serves to trace the union
between ancient civilization and that
of the middle ages.
The sacred dance of the pagans is
preserved to a certain extent in Cbrls-
Han rites. It Is transformed to a series
of revolutions made to the sound of the
tambourine. St. Isadore, archbishop
of Seville, born about A. D. 580, was
intrusted by the council of Toledo with
the revision of the Ilturg., as it was
then practiced in the Roman church, in
which there was a tambonrine dance.
The council decided to adopt the Ise-
dorian liturgy in all Spain, and it dif-
t red but little from that used in other
entries at that time.
Thls rite, celebrated before the eighth
century; when the Moors first invaded
Spain, was stili celebrated by the Chris-
tians in the seven churches of Toledo,
which the Moors abandoned after their
capture of the city, and It was atter
that time called the Moorish rite. This
was, known and employed in Provence
and Italy. The tambonre In use in this
religious dance was called by St. Isa-
dore "molte de symphoule," and evi-
dently corresponded to the instrument
which In the ancient sacred dances ac-
companied the flute, a soft of bagpipe
invented two centuries before Christ
As the religious dance of the middle
ages Is allied to the ancient sacred
dance so the welts is an evolution of
this religious dance, having passed
through many chimes before arriving
In Its present form. In the eleventh
century, when the Gregorian rite sup-
planted the Moorish rite, the dance dis-
appeared from the church. It appeared
very quickly in society under the name
of "carole," a word derived from the
Latlu "caroler."
THE CHAMELEON.
Some of the Peoaliaritle. of This
Very Queer Animal.
A moat remarkable creature is the
ebameleop. To all appearances the
nervous centers in one lateral half of
this animal work independently of
those in the other, and It bas two later-
al centers of perception—sensation and
motion—besides the common one In
which must reside the faculty of con-
centration. The eyes move independ-
ently of one another and convey sepa-
rate impressions to their resl r.ve
centers of perception. The con
is that when the animal is agita
movements resemble those of t
mals or rather perhaps two ba
animals glued together. Ea
wishes to go its own way, an
no concordance of action.
Therefore the chameleon 1A the only
tour legged vertebrate that is unable
to swim. It becomes so frightened
when dropped into water that all facnl-
ty of concentration is lost/and the crea-
ture tumbles about as if in a state of
intoxication. When a chameleon is un-
disturbed every impulse to motion is
referred to the proper tribunal, and the
whole organism acts in accordance
with its decrees. The eye, for example,
that receives the strongest impression
propagates 't to the common center,
which then prevails upon the other eye
to follow that Impression and direct
its gaze toward the same object.
Moreover, the chameleon may be fast
asleep on one side and wide awake on
the other. Cautiously approached at
night with a candle so as not to awak-
en the whole animal at once, the eye
turned toward the light will open, be-
gin to move and the corresponding side
to change color. The other aide will re-
main for a longer or shorter time In a
torpid, motionless and unchanged state
with its eye fast shut.—Chicago News.

The most famous of dogs is Cerbe-

The original dog cakes were given to
Cerberus by the ethyl who led £near

and seasone'l with poppies and honey.
He must bave been an opium fiend, as

CUSHIONS AND PILLOWS.
They Should Re Comfortable, Home-
like and Cony Object.,
One must agree n ;th a writer In the
Hous. Beautiful .iiA. thr populurity of
tomahawks and war paint as sofa pil-
low decorations Is dlfllcult to under-
stand. "A pillow," remarks this sensi-
ble writer, "is, or should be, a comfort-
able, homelike and rather cozy object.
A savage bristling with paint and
feathers does not invite companionship.
The Gibson pillow la almost as atrocious
as the Indian pillow, and with li should
be clae'sed the portrait pillow and the
pillow etched with the poker. A pilin
pillow, 20 by 20, made of linen or some
other washable material, Is a joy to the
eye after the fogey, dressed up pillows
of the shops. Against a brown or
green wall pillows In plain linen, the
colors ranging through the nasturtium
shades, make an extremelyagreeable
color effect. When decoration Is de -
Sired excellent result are obtained by
cross stitch. Canvas makes a good
foundation for pillows of tbls sort."
Java prints, Iudia calicoes, Japanese
printed crape and many other inex-
pensive cottons are to be bad and
make very attractive pillows. For a
bedroom,fowered chintz cushions are
delightful. If handsomer fabrics are
desired, there are plenty of soft tone,'

scheme can be secured. Any of these
are to be preferred to the Indian, Gib-

CULINARY CONCEITS.
The white leaves of celery dried and
added to soups give a delicious flavor.
If an apple or onion Is put 1n a duck
to be roasted It gives a better flavor to
the meat.
You should never use paper of any
kind in the cooking. Thin cheesecloth
or old muslin can always take its place.
Potatoes may be deliciously baked
ou an asbestus mat on top of the
rause. Cover them with a tin pan and
give them about one hour.
Stewed prunes will taste much nicer
if a few minutes before they are done

Suet puddings are most nourishing if

Soiled Woodwork.
Wben cleaning finger marks or soiled
places from painted woodwork it
should always be remembered that the

then wet with clear water, beginning

FESTIVALS IN MOROCCO.
One Month When the Moor Fate All
Day and Feat. A11 Right.
A traveler writes: "in Morocco the
Nazarene can never tell how time
stands in reletton to the Moorish year.
The Mohammedan calendar knows but
3M days, so, as the Moors lose some
eleven days In the year, their festivals
are constantly varying in date The
most Important, of course, is Bama-
dan, when Moslems fast from the ris-
Ing to the setting of the sun during the
month. The Moor fasts ail day and
feasts all night, and throughout the
small hours in certain Moorish cities
omcials pass down the streets in sol-
emn procession, armed with musical in-
struments, and one at their head calls
upon the 'servants of God' to eat and
drink before the advent of the dawn.
On one night toward the end of Ra-
madan it is well known that the gated
of heaven are opened in order that the
prayers of the faithful may be heard,
and It is equally certain that all the
devils and genu are kept'ln some prison
of the underworld throughout the
month.
"Another feast of importance is the
Aid el Kabeer, which takes place ma the
tenth day of the last month of the Mo-
hammedan year. It celebrates the sac-
rifice of Ishmael (not Isaac) by Abra-
ham on Mount Moriab. Certain pray-
ers are said in Iffe mosques, and atter
these the cad!, standing in some prom-
inent position, cuts the throat of a
sheep that is then carried in a basket
at headlong speed to the town's chief
mosque. If the sheep be alive when It
reaches the mosque, the ensuing year
wlii be a prosperous one for the town.
By means ot.gun fire and trumpet call
all the city is Informed that the sacri-
fice has been killed, and then every
householder kills a sheep on the threeb-
old of his own home. This sheep hae
been bought on the previous day and
tied up In readiness for the feast.
"Still another festival of great im-
portance In Morocco le the Mooiud,
wbleh takes place In the month that is
called the 'spring of flowers.' It 1s
ushered in by singing and dnnetng and
music and seems to be founded on some
old forgotten native festival. When
the Moolnd comes round a bine mark
is placed between the . eyebrows of
young children in order that the evil
eye may be averted from them. The
festival is also notorious by reason of
the performance of the Aisawt, the fol-
lowers of Mohammed bin Alma of Me -
guinea, the patron saint of snake
charmers.
"These Aisawt may be compared
with the denetng dervighrs of ntha'
Mohammedan, countries. The Alsawl
are accustomed to repeat aloud a sen-
tence that contains the master word of
their order, and they howl it until the
sound is not comparable to anything
one has heard before. In moments of
extreme frenzy the devotees are known
to seize sheep or even dogs and tear
them to pieces with their hands. Some
may be seen devouring a sheep before
It is dead."
-Htetorle Wheat.
Experts on the subject of bread
grains say that wheat can be traced
back into the dim past across the line
marked by the addent of historic man
into the dim shades of the stone age.
It has been known in Egypt and in the
valleys of the Euphrates and the Tigris
since the trate ;when history "runneth
not to the contrary" The prehistoric
races which formerly lived in ;the fa-
mous "lake dwellings," which were
built on platforms supported by piles
driven In the lakes of Switzerland, had
their mealing atones, wbeat mortars,
sickles and other grain harvesting and
' --making apparatus at levet 4,000
Sears ago. Wheat found in ancient
Egyptian tombe and to the rulne of the
lake lwellings referred to 1s identical
with that which we use today.
An Expensive curial aroma..
Burial In Westminster abbey is an
expensive honor, although the sums ex-
acted are considerably lees than they
were up to the middle of the last cen-
tury. The fees for interment are ar-
ranged on the following scale: To the
Fabric fund, S26, £89 or 848, according
to the degree of the per on to be buried.
Other fees to dean, cailons, choir, offi-
cers, verger, etc., £84 2s. 2d. In lieu
of scarves, etc., for choir, etc., 131
2s. 3d., making altogether 101 4s. 8d.,
£101 4e. 8d. or 1111 4s. 8d., according
to degree, Formerly the fees amounted
to 8150 or 1160, besides the starves,
hatbands and gloves charged In the un-
dertaker's bill.

CAMELS OUTDONE.
Creature. That Go For Extended Pe-
riod. Without Drinking.
Other creatures than the camel are
able to get along for extended periods
without drinking. Sheep in the south-
western deserts go for forty to sixty
days 111 winter without drink, grazing
on the green, succulent vegetation of
that season. Peccaries in the desert of
Sonora live in little dry hills where
there is no natural water for long peri-
ods. They cannot possibly find water—
in fact, for months at a time. The only
moisture they can obtain comes from
roots and the fruits of cacti, but the
most extraordinary case is that of the
pocket mouse, one of the common ro-
dents of the desert This little creature,
by the way, has a genuine fur lined
"pocket" on the outside of its cheek.
When it is hungry it takes food trom
this pocket with its paw, just as a man
would pull a halo sandwldh from his
pocket One of these mice has beet
kept for three years with no other food
than the mixed bird seed of commerce.
During this period It had not a taste of
either water or green food. Other ex-
perimenters have found. In fact, that
these mice in captivity refuse each
treats, not seeming to know that water
Is good to drink. The bird seed put be-
fore this mouse contained not more
than 10 per cent of moisture, which is
less than is necessary for digestion.
Stuff so dry as this cannot even be
swallowed untll It is moistened by
saliva. Yet this remarkable mouse
gave nothing but his time to the inter-
ests of science. He suffered nothing in
health or spirits during his captivity.—

SYMPATHETIC LISTENERS
The Help They May Afford to Slow

At no time more than when a thought
le struggling toward expression should
a friend bear with a' friend's infirmi-

ed out with lavish affection about the
one who is seriously striving to say
some real thing. In this atmosphere of
patient, sympathetic intelligence the

The Cellars of Bordeaux.
The cobwebs will seem to an impres-
sionable visitor the noblest things in
the Bordeaux cellars. Some of them
look like thick pile curtains, somber in
hue, of course, but famously suggestive
of warmth. And with even only a
moderate imagination one may go to
and fro among the barrels fancying the
pendent shapes overhead are dueky
stalactites instead of the airy next to
nothing as they really are. If you hold
your candle high enough you may
shrivel a few yards of the fabric. But

Marriage by Prosy.
In Holland, says a ficotc>t paper,
marriage by proxy ie allowed. This is
the so called "marriage by the glove"
and is usually put in practice by a
Dutchman who is sojourning abroad
and, wanting a wife, is too poor or
too far off 'o return home for one. In
such a case he writes home to a law-
yer, who selects one conformable to the
requirements of his client. If the gen-
tleman approves be next sends the laW-
yer a soiled left band glove and a
power of attorney, which setties'the
Mistimes. A friend marries the woman
by proxy, and she is thereafter prompt-
ly shipped off to her new home.

The Reunly \1'111 Make Your Own
Life .1Ptghter and Nobler.
We must all realize that this life is
full of sorrow, and if you personally
have had the good• luck to escape your
share of It you are very fortunate.
But do not on that account allow
yourself to grow cold hearted and un-
sympathetic to others.
Those poor others! Their 1St is often
so hard, so lonely, so full of misery.
We are here to "beat the wounds and
bind the broken cart," and the only
way we can do this is by being kind,
loving and sympathetic.
A few words of love will do more to
help a sufferer than 'money sometimes,'
for heartsickness is much hltrder to
help than hunger and poverty. Show
Interest in others; try to help them; go
out of your way to lighten the burden
of the heavily laden.
Do not hesitate to whisper your
kindly thoughts in their ears. Don't
pass by on the "other side." If you are
strong, then be merciful, ca; s Wom-

THE ,BACHELOR GIRL.
Along Certain Lines She I. Indica-

She is not an evil, indicative. of race

indicates progress. Marshall Field,
tyrice married, deciarea that marriage
1s a good thing 1f one gets the right
won a n.
American bachelor girls are applying
Mt Field's theory and waiting for the
right one.
In the so called "good old days" they
didn't wait; hence the seed of the di-
vorce evil and Inferior offspring—the
genuine need of raft suicide.
In those days they married the eligi-
ble whom parents selected or the sub-
stautlsl one, who offered a good home,
in order to escape the awful ignominy .
of becoming an old maid. And then
came unhappiness.
But things are changing. It has
been discovered that a man in ber life
is not to every woman an indispensa-
ble attachment.
True, the fullest and best and most
fortunate llfe is that in which the
right man is.
But, failing to find the right man, a
woman does infinitely better to paddle

THE HOME DOCTOR.
Puncture wounds caused by a pin or
black lead pencil should be sucked to
extract any poisonous matter.
When the heel becomes blistered it
will be remedied by applying a little
yellos laundry soap scraped and mix-
ed to iu paste with water.
To remove a wart dampen it and rub
with a piece of common salt. Do this
three or four times a day for a mouth,
and the wart will drop off, leaving no
mark on the skin.
A quarter of a teaspoonful of bicar-
bonate of soda taken in a cup of hot
water after meals will relieve severe
indigestion or without soda It will al-
liy pains iu the stomach if drunk at

When a person has accidentally swal-
lowed glass it is a mistake to admin-
ister a purgative. Instead allow Plen-

See the Funny Side.
Make your husband feel comfortable.
That is the wisest thing any wife can
do, if she desires to hold her husband's
devotion, to say nothing of rendering
him happy. Don't be critical at any
time, and, above all, don't criticise your
husband in public. Culttvnte a sense of
numor. Everything In life has its fun-
ny
unny side, and when you laugh at a wor-
ry Its sting is gone, says Woman's Life:
If you must tell your husband of the
mischances of the day, show them to
him as a Joke. Make light of ivorries.
Encourage him to feel that home is a
refuge, not •a clearing house for your
perplexities. Let him bring his men
friends borne with him, and don't look
distressed if he sometimes expresses
a desire to go off and bave an evening
with the boys.
Vidoeq's Memory.
Vidocq, the great French detective,
had so excellent a memory for names
and faces that after having seen a
criminal once and learned his name he
never forgot him, but would often iden-
tify him under the most subtle dis-
guises. A French forger once escaped
from custody, went abroad and remain-
ed for eleven years. In the meantime
he became quite bald and lost an eye
and part of his nose in a drunken
brawl. Fancying that no one could
detect him, he returned to Paris and
went boldly about the streets; but, be-
ing arrested on suspicion, he was
brought before Vidocq, who at once
recognized him and sent hint back to
work out his term.

values. The situation to -day is one of the most peculiar in years from several points of view.
The crop just raised and being raarketed• is not a large one. Bins and elevators at the beginning of the crop season were
practically empty everywhere, and after several months of marketing, no material or unusual increase in accumulations has
been noticed, the visible supply now being only 40,477,000 bushels against 39,718,000 last year. _Dn the other hand the milling
and export demand this year has been tremendons and some of the best judges consider that prices around 850 are altogether
too low.
Looking over the foreign e,ituati,tn, one of the main factors at present lathe revolution in Russia which is again assuming
a very menacing aspect. onld the government be unable to cope with the situation, with navigation closed, and a famine
threatened in some sectjgfis because et thtfgreat decrease in the rye crop, shipments of wheat frqm that country may dwindle
to almost nothing, an1uny advance in foreign markets will be followed by one •
n our own.
With regard to the'local situation; the wheat market lately has exhibited a tendency to back and fill, with the general trade
somewhat inclined to wait until it broadens before making Divestment purchases, whereas the correct course would be to take
advantage of the weak places as around present prices we regard wheat as a safe business risk and any decline below this
level will not extend far and be only temporary.
PROVISIONS.
Considering that this is the packing season with the heaviest arrival of hogs of any time of the year, and that packers are
interested in keeping prices down until stocks accumulate, prices for both hogs and the products have remained remarkably
firm and higher than last year. The outlook is for higher prices, especially during the next few mouths as both the foreign
and domestic demand is excellent. On account it of the loss of fodder crops in Europe last year hogs are scarce and a good
export demand has been created.
The run of hogs has been less than expected, and this is holding prices firm, The market is in an excellent position for a
bull movement as stocks are low and inter on hogs will be scarce again. Besides we are closely approaching a season of the
year when the proarreta -nhotild be in great demand, and as the market begins to broaden, and a big advance will
follow.
FLAX.
The flax market by its violent fillet -nations and steadily upward course, has attracted a great deal of attention lately.
-Prices have been extremely low during the fall months, being practically on an export busis. However, with great activity in
foreign markets, due partly to the drought which is now prevailing in India, prices here have advanced rapidly. That the
great bulk of the northwestern crop is out of the way, and the remainder in strong hands is shown by the fact that practically
twenty-one million bushels out of a crop of 28,478,000 is out of farmers hands. It is estimated that the receipts of flax at
Minneapolis and Duluth to date have boon about fifteen million bushels and that country elevators contain elbout six million
bushels of seed, practically all of which has been sold to crushers. With receipts light at primary points, and a fine demand
for what does arrive, the market is in a position to advance very much higher, in tact, $1.25 for t110 May and July features
will not seem a high figure, and if the present demand continues there is a possibility of even $1.50.
STOCKS.
The following is taken from the Wall Street Daily News of Dec. 20fh, and represents conservative views of the stock market.
The unexpected news of important brink failures in Chicago caused nothing more than a flurry in prices in the early hours
of Monday's trading. From the low points established, recovery was general -and fairly complete. Again it is seen that
security ownership is vested in strong bands. Again, conclusion must be reached that public speculative participation has
been and is a negligable quantity -tor hind Commission bowies been carrying extended lines of stooks on customary margins
Monday's opening depression would inevitably have resulted in at least temporary panic. As it was, the only result was the
creation of a new and well extended short interest which is now busy in the operation of covering up the losses familiar to
the bear party for some time.
There rano contention in this argument that bank failures are good things. They certainly are not; and the conditions
revealed in the Chicago institutions which went under are dispiriting in more ways than one. But the point we are calling
attention to is that in the facie of such revelation, security ownership shows a calm and undisturbed front. Never before has
such market character appeared.
For explanation we must rehearse the oft -told tale of national prosperity. There is nothing else to account for the imper-
turbability of the speculative and investment position. Investors have long realized and speculators are beginning to
realize that a country enjoying the agricultural and industrial production of the United States must be sound, and a solvent
concern. And the securities representing the corporations which conduct the country's business are worth every dollar they
are selling for and in many cases worth far more. Hence, when the unexpected happens, as on Monday morning, there is no
wild rash to get out -no senseless seorifloo of holdings. Nor can the bear party force liquidation by short sales, because
stocks are too strongly held. Take the most extreme Haw such as Tennessee Coal k Iron, American Smelting, National
Lead, Reading, and Union Pacriflo-the interests which have been accumulating in these properties own them at a level so far
below current quotations that they are absolutely indifferent to five or ten point reactions, and their loans are so fortified
with time money at cheap rates, as to musks the price for call money of no importance tattle big holders.
Furthermore, the attention of foreign investors is being strongly directed toward our market. Messina securities totter,
and all European markets are thereby depressed; but in New York the reflection of this.sentiment is too faint to be discover-
able. The whole world realizes that American defelopment will continue whatever may Nippon in Europe, and while, of
course, European panic would find some reflection here, it could not be lasting -weld not ran far. The result is that 'the
Englishman, the Frenchman, or the German looking about for investments combining safety and revenue is naturally led to
invest in American securities. It must also be noted that the distressing Russian conditions prevailing actually inure to our
benefit. Russia is one of our &lief competitors in the world's market for foodstuffs and the crippling of her commercial
resources enchances the value of our products.
From every point of view American conditions forecast a lag and continuing bull movement in the seenrity market.

BREAD AT HALF PRICE.
Modern mitt Promises to.ent Floor's
Coat in Two.
The Apostolof system of 'bread mak-
log continues to attract attention
throughout the United Kingdom, the
claim being made that in the light of
more recent dllcoverles the price of I
the quarter loaf will be reduced from
sixpence to threepence. Mr. Apostoloff
claims that owing to a remarkable
process of milling it will soon be possi-
ble for bakers to convert wheat into
bread within the space of three hours,
and that the bread can be sold at a
handsome profit at a reduction to one-
half of its present price.
Mr. Apoetoloff states that not only
will the miller's fee be saved, but that
the output of loaves will be increased
from 12 to 20 per cent. One of the in-
ventor's mills is In Upper Thames
street, and, although of small slit, the
utility of the mill is enormous.
It swallows the wheat grains and
ejects from three chutes flour, mid-
dlings and husks or bran. The bran is
packed away for farmyard use, the
flour goes into the bakehouse recepta-
cle, while the middlings are not hand-
ed over to the gluten buyer, ns has
hitherto been the case. They are pass-
ed through troughs of tepid water,
where they are so treated that nine -
tenths of their substance remains in
solution.
Mr. Apostoloff in securing this nine -
tenths df the "middlings" to the baker
and through the baker to the consumer
states that he has achieved that which
millers and bakers helve been endeav-
oring in vain to bring about for cetl-
turles.—London Times.
Broken (tenth.
The cashier of a certain firm bad
absconded, and the staff of clerks were
deciding on a fit and proper person to
acquaint the head of the Arm of the
fact on his arrival.
Ultimately the matter was left In the
hands of the head clerk, possibly be-
cause none of the others cared to un-
dertake the responsibility.
There had been a dog fight in the
street, and a small crowd was just
dispersing as the ehlef's carriage dash-
ed up.
"What's that crowd after, Jerkins?"
demanded the bead of the firm,
The chief clerk thought he recog-
nized a chance of breaking the news
gently and seised It.
"The vacancy, sir," he replied.
"Vacancy? What vacancy?"
"cashier, sir."
"But we want no cashier, Jorkins"
"Beg pardon, sir, but we're a vacan-
cy for one!"
"Jorkins, are you mad"
"No, sir. That is, sir, I don't know,
sir, Fact is, sir, all the cub 4t gone,
and—and"--
"Well?"
"The cashier's gone with It, sir'"
From the way the old man took it
the clerk thought be might Just as
well have blurted It out at the start.--

Rebuked From the Pulpit.
Preaching in Westminster abbey Can-
on Wilberforce told a good story of
the celebrated Welsh preacher, Christ-
mas Evans, who dared publicly to ex-
press his thankfulness for Jenny Lind's
beautiful singing. A tnember of his
congregation, a straitlaced Calvinist,
standing on the steps of the pulpit,
asked the preacher whether a man dy-
ing at one of Jenny Linda concerts
would go to heaven. "Sir," replied Mr.
Evans) "a Christian will go to heaven
wherever he dies, but a fool remains a
tool even on the pulpit steps." Even
the sober abbey congregation could
hardly stifle its enjoyment of this
repartee.

The marriage of Mr. Herman
chow, of Langtdon, and Miss Anna E.
Schluessler, a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Carl Schluessler, of this city,
took place at the home of the groom's
parents on Thursday, at half past two
p. m,, the event proving a very pleas.
ant one. Miss Louise C. Schluessler,
sister of the bride, was bridesmaid,
and Mr. William Virchow, brother of
the groom, best man. An informal
reception was held, attended by rela-
tives and itnmediate friends. The

of Washington County, and their
many friends in this vicinity unite
in.extending hearty congratulations.

Paris Rea Maras ta.
A Chicago man just returned from
a ramble in Europe declares that in
Paris the traps for unwary travelers
are innumerable as the odds of the
seashore. One of the most familiar is
the restaurant where the bill of farm
is without prices, the check being made
out according to what the customer
seems able to pay. "I was bitten once
or twice in this way," says the trav-
eler, "but then I refused to order un-
less the menu mentioned the cost.
Sometimes the proprietor protested
feebly, but I told him that he didn't
buy his victuals without knowing the
Brice, and I should follow his exam-
ple."

Carlos. Chinese Playing Cards.
A pack of Chinese playing cards is a
genuine curiosity. They are generally
printed in black on thin cardboard, the
average width and breadth being about
that of the finger of a human being. In
some cases they are only half an inch
broad and about three and a half inch-
es in length. The length, no odds what
the size, is always at least six times
that of the width. Some of the packs
have queer representations of our
"kings," "Queens" and "knaves" stamp-
ed upon them in black. Others are dec-
orated with the figures of animals,
birds and fishes. Those used by man -
daring and high officials bear only fig-
ures of mythological creatures.
Spaniard Invents • New Propeller.
A Spanish engineer, Don Jose Pole,
has invented a new biconcentric screw
propeller, with which experiments
have been conducted at Valencia with
very remarkable results. The.steamer
Monserrat was fitted with the pro-
peller and made a trial, at which a
large party of scientific men was pres-
ent. The result of the trial trip he said
to have confirmed the extraordinary
propelling power of the invention, the
speed being, it is alleged, 00 per cent
higher than with ordinary screws and
with an economy in fuel.

HASTINGS, Jan. 9th, 1906.
'I see by the report of our county
paper that tbelbid for the county poor
for this district was awarded for $200,
being $75 more than my bid. As
my bid was so much less I was at a
loss to know the reason. Was in-
formed, first, that I lived too far out,
and second, that one Abe board had
a dislike or grudge against my father.
I thought it only jest and fair that
the above be known to all. All I
ask is justice and right between man
and man. Dr. A. C. DocKsTAnaR

Physicians tell us that all
the blood in a healthy
human body passes through
the heart once in every two
minutes. If this action be-
comes irregular the whole
body suffers. Poor health
follows poor blood ; Scott's
Emulsion makes the blood
pure. One reason why
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
is such a great aid is because
it passes so quickly into
the blood. It is partly di-
gested before it enters the
stomach ; a double advan-
tage in this. Less work
for the stomach; quicker
and more direct benefits.
To get the greatest amount
of good with' the least pos-
sible effort is the desire of
everyone in poor health.
Scott's Emulsion does just
that. A change for the
better takes place even be-
fore you expect it.

Health in Most Remarkable Manner.
After suffering for some time

Miss Jennie

teenth Ave.,
West, Du-
luth, Minn.,
in a recent
statement
tells a most
remarkable
story of her
Cure.
When Mr. L. T. Ceoper the welt
known philanthropists_, visited
Duluth arid cured so many similar
cases with his New Discovery med-
icine, Miss Isaac .on heard of his
wunderfut work •: ! decidedtotry it.
Her story is it::eresting and is
quoted as follows: "Ibadauffered
greatly front weakness',' myback,
severe pains in my aide and I had
MIs, tsaacsog.
almost constant headaches."
"I heard so much of the marvel-
ous cures that the Cooper medicines
were effecting that I resolved to
give them a trial, and now after
one weeks treatment the pains in
my back and side have disappeared
and so have my headaches. I feel
Imuch better and stronger in every
way."
Cooper's New Discovery neutral

hes the acids in the stomach, in-
creases the gastric juices and
strengthens every organ of the
body. It expells every trace of
poison, enriches and purifies the
blood; thereby producing perfect

The New York Tribune Almanac.
Of course. it is possible to worry
through life without keeping a Tribune
Almanac at your elbow, but is it worth
while, docs it pay? For twenty-fivecents
a year this publication supplies you with
a really marvelous amount of information,
and the man who has it is an authority
in his neighbtorhood. He doesn't have to
be guessing or supposing about election
pluralities, the names of cabinet ministers,
senators, congressmen, governors, ' or
judges. He doesn't have to depend upon
his memory when anything comes up
about the big events of the preceding year
or in relation to our army or navy. or
sporting records, or, in fact. almost any-
thing else of record worth knowing.- If
you have never examined a Tribune Al-
manac just invest a quarter for one, and
see how well pleased you'll be. The 1906
one will be ou sale Jan, 1st, and may be
had from your newsdealer, through your
local paper. or direct trout The Tribune
Office. New York.

MENTAL ATTITUDE.
HASTINGS, MINN.. S
URDAY, JANUARY 20, 1906.
It Has Much to Do With Winning
• Success In Life.
The mental attitude which we al-
ways hold toward our work•or our aim
has everything to do With what we
may accomplish. It you go to your
work_ with the attitude of a slave who
goes lashed to his task and see in it
only drudgery; if you work without
bope, seeing no future in what you are
doing beyond getting a bare living; if
you see no light ahead, nothing but
poverty, deprivation and hard work
all your life; if you think that you
were destined to such a hard life, yon -
cannot expect anything else than that
which you look for.
If, on the other band, no matter bow
poor you may be today, you can see a
better future; if you believe that some
day you are going to rise out of hum-
drum work, that you are going to get
up out of the basement of life into the
drawing room, where beauty, comfort
and joy await you; If your ambition is
clean cut and you keep your eye stead-
ily upon the goal which you hope to
reach and feel confident that you have
the ability to attain It, you will accom-
plish something worth while. The di-
rection of your effort will follow your
eye. If that looks up as well as on,
you will climb.
That one quality of holding persist-
ently the faith in themselves and nev-
er allowing anything to weaken the be-
lief that somehow they would accom-
plish what they undertook has been the
underlying principle of all great
achievers. The great majority of men
and women who have given civilization
a great uplift started poor and for
many dark years saw no hope of ac-
complishing their ambition, but they
kept on workir}g and believing that
somehow a way would be opened.
Thing: of what this attitude of hopeful-
ness and faith has dare for the world's
great inventors - how most of them
plodded on through many years of dry,
dreary drudgery before the light came,
and the light would never have come
but for their faith, hope and persistent
endeavor.
What if they had listened to their
advisers! Even those who loved them
tried to beg them 'to give up the fool -
fellness of coining their lives into that
which would never be practical or nee-
ful. We are enjoying today thousands
of blessings, comforts and conveniences
which have been bequeathed us by
those resolute souls who were obliged
often to turn a deaf ear to the plead-
ings of those they loved best as they
..Struggled on amid want and woe for
many years. -Success.
CHRISTMAS.
Negroes consider Christmas day the
best In the year for a wedding.
Christmas was first celebrated as a
feast of. the Christian church about the
year 190 A. D.
At Culdaff, In Ireland, the game of
kammau, a sort of hockey, is played on
Christmas day.
A leaf from Christmas decorations is
preserved in Yorkshire as a remedy
against toothache. '
Scottish servants each endeavor to be
the first to draw water from the well
on Christmas doming.
It is an old Irish superstition that
gold should not be paid away on
Christmas day nor silver lent.
Christman day at Cape Town, is usual-
ly celebrated with picnics. The tem-
perature averages 82 degrees.
On Christmas morning in Norway
every gateway, gable or barn door Is
decorated with a sheaf of corn fixed on
a tall pole in order that the birds may
eat from It their Christmas dinner.
To Slake a Canary Sing.
Generally any kind of soft, sibilant
noise will tempt a bird to sing. A ca-
nary hung in a kitchen will useally
start his song if he bears, say, the friz-
zling of a frying pan: We utilize spe-
cial devices to tempt the shy singer,
who is perhaps rendered the more bash-
ful by finding himself in novel sur-
roundings. For this purpose we em-
ploy whistles and song organs, which
artificially reproduce the "tours" of the
roller. This latter method 1s found to
be irresistible wben all other plans have
failed. The bird feels apparently that
he is being challenged and forthwith -
responds to the challenge by pouring
forth the best of his song. - London

Vulcan.
Vulcan, the god of ancient black-
smiths and metal workers, was lame
in consequence of a pretty hard fall
he bad in his early days. Jupiter and
Juno had a row, and Vulcan sided
with his mother against the old gen-
tleman, who promptly kicked him out
of heaven. He fell for a wboly_day
and lighted on the island of Lemnos,
broke his leg and received as severe
a shaking up as though he had tumbled
down an elevator shaft. .Esculapius
set his leg, but having only just receiv-
ed a diploma did a poor job, and for a
long time Vulcan went on a crutch.

NAPOLEON'S ESCAPES.
Reckless of Danger, the Great Sol-
dier 'Vas Often Wounded.
Iu reply to the question In what en-
gagements he considered himself to
have been in the greatest danger of
loslug hie life Napoleon once said, "In
the commencement df my campaigns."
Indeed. if further proof were demanded
to show that be did not spare blwseif
at Toulou it la only necessary to add
that during the ten weeks of Its siege
Napoleon, in addition to a bayonet
wound lu his thigh, had three horses
shot under him, while at the siege of
Acre during the expedition to Egypt he
lost no /ewer than four in the same
manner.
During the last days of his life, when
captivity, disappointment and sickness
had well nigh completed their work, it
is said that the agony of his fatal dis-
ease drew from him on many occasions
the pitiful cry of, "Why did the cannon
balls spare me?" -
During hIs•long military career Napo-
leon fought sixty battles, while Caesar
fought but fifty. In the early part of
his career he was utterly reckless of
danger while on the battlefield, and this
spirit of fearlessness contributed large-
ly to the love and esteem in which be
was held by his armies. There was a
carious belief among the English In Ntl-
poleou's time that be had never been
wounded, and Indeed the report was
current that he carefully if not In a
cowardly manner refrained from ex-
posing himself. Nothing could be more
contrary to the truth, for he was in re-
ality several times severely wounded,
but as he wished to impress upon his
troops the belief that good fortune nev-
er deserted him and that, like Achilles,
he was well nigh invulnerable, he al-
ways made a secret of his many dan-
gers. 'He therefore enjoined once for
all upon the part of hie immediate staff
the most absolute silence regarding all
circumstances of this nature, for it is
almost impossible to calculate the con-
fusion and disorder which would have
resulted from the slightest report or the
smallest doubt relative to his existence.
Upon the single thread of this man's
life depended not only the fate and gov-
ernment of a great empire, but the
whole policy and destiny of Europe as
well.
NATAL AUTOGRAPHS.
Sign Manual of the ChUd That Doss
Not Change In Life.
There Is born with every one of us
and continues unchanged during our
lives an unfailing and ineradicable
mark or marks, which absolutely dis-
tinguish each one of us from every oth-
er fellow being. These physical marks
never change from the cradle to the
grave. Ills born autograph Is impos-
sible to counterfeit, and there is no dn-
pllcate of It among the teeming billows
In the world. Look at the Insides of
your hands and the soles of your feet;
closely examine the ends of your fin-
gers. You see circles and curves and
arches and whorls, sortie prominent with
deep corrugations, others minute and
delicate, but all a well defined and
closely traced pattern. There is your
physiological signature.
Run your hands through your hair
and press finger tips on a piece of clear
glass. Yon see all the delicate tracing
transferred -not two fingers alike. Even
"the left hqn d knoweth not what the
right hand deeds." They are distinctly
different. Even twins maybe so little
different In size, features and general
physical condition as to be scarcely dis-
tinguishable, yet their finger auto-
graphs are radically different.
In fact, In all humanity every being
carries with him on his baby fingers
and his wrinkled hand of decrepit old
age the identical curves, arches and
circles that were born with him. Noth-
Ing except dismemberment can oblit-
erate or disguise them. Criminals may
burn and sear their bands, but nature,
when she restores the cuticle, invaria-
bly brings back the natal autograph.
What's In a Name?
Frequently in the south one finds
among the negroes as remarkeple
Christian names as those bestowed
upon their offeprtn/ by the Puritan
fathers. A gentlem n of Virginia tells`
of a negro living near Richmond who
for years bad been familiarly known
to him as Tlm. It became necessary
at one time in a lawsuit to know the
full name of the darky. The not un-
natural supposition that Tim stood for
Timothy met with a fiat denial.
"No, salt!" exclaimed the negro. "Mall
name ain't Timothy. It's What -timor-
ous -souls -we -poor -mortals -be Jackson.
Dey jest calls me Tim to' sho't"-Suc-
cess Magazine

worthy of beim: re: eel and which I

players, dissatisfied because the latest
censors had forbidden them to take
part in the banquet lu Jupiter's temple,
according to the ancient custom, with-
drew, every one of them, to Tibur, so
that nobody was left at Rome to play
during the sacrifiees. This incident
shocked the religious sentiment of the
senate, noul tee senators sent messen-
gers to invite the iubabltnuts of Tiber
to mal:e every effort in order that the
players should bei restored to the Ro-
mans. 'rite Tlhnrtines, having prom-
ised rat to neglect anything necessary
for that purpose, caused the flute play-
ers to come to the place where the sen-
ate met and exhorted them to go back
to Rome. Seeing that they could not
prevail upon thenl to do so, they em-
ployed a stratagem In keeping with
their character.
On a day of festival uuder pretext
that music would increase the joy of
the feast every citizen Invited the flute
players individually to his house. and
wine, of which people of that profes-
sion are usually fond, was given to
them in such quantities that they fell
into a deep sleep. They were then
thrown into wagons and transported to
Rome. They only became aware of
what had happened on the day atter,
when dawn surprised them lying on the
carts, which had been left in the foram.
A large crowd had assembled, and they
were Induced to promise that they
would remain at Rome. The right of at-
tending the banquets was restored to
these flute players.
ANCIENT LIGHTHOUSES,
Beacon Lights For Marlaere Coeval
With the Earliest Commerce.
Beacon Ilgbts to guide the wave
tossed mariner to a safe harbor must
have been almost coeval with the earli-
est commerce. There 1s positive record
that lighthouses were built in ancient
times, though few evidences now re-
main to us from old writers or in crum-
bled ruins. This Is not strange, for tight
towers, never the most stable architec-
tural form, were exposed to the storms
of sea and war.
The Greeka attributed the first light-
houses to Hercules, and he was consid-
ered the protector of voyagers. It 1s
claimed by some that Homer refers to
lighthouses in the nineteenth book of
the "Iliad."
. Virgil mentions a Light on a temple
to Apollo which, visible far out at sea,
warned and guided mariners. Tbe Co-
lossus at Rhodes, erected about 800
B. C., 1s said to have shown a signs!
light from its uplifted hand.
The oldest towers known were built
by the Libyans in lower Egypt. They
were temples also, and the Ilghtkeeper
priests taught pilotage, bydrography
and navigation. The famous tower oa
th isle of Pharos at Alexandria, built
abo t 285 B. C., is the first lighthouse
of doubted record. This tower, con-
structed by Soetratus, the architect
was square in plan, of great height and
built In offsets. An open brasier at the
top of the tower contained the fuel for
the light. At Dover and Boulogne, on
either side of tbe English channel, were
ancient lighthouses built by the Ro-
mans. But the lighthouse at Coruna,
Spain, built In the reign of Trajan and
reconstructed In 1084, is believed to be
the oldest existing lighthouse.
The Humming Bird Flower.
Alietedo evaelais, the wonderful so
called "humming bird flower" of the
plains of eastern Turkey, stands unique
and alone among the many specimens
of floral mimicry that have bean chisel -
fled by modern botanists. It is a beau-
tiful blossom of variegated hues, the to-
tal length of the entire flower being
about one and three-quarter inches. As
one might Imagine from its name, it is
an exact Image of a miniature hum-
ming bird. The breast is green, the
wings deep rose color, the throat yel-
low and the head and beak almost pure
black. The only particular In which It
is not a perfect bird is that the stem
gives it the appearance of having but
single leg and foot.
Incongruous.
A clerical correspondent of one of
the London church papers relates that
a certain prelate had great difficulty in
suppressing his laughter at the conse-
cration of a church the other day ow-
ing to the device on one of the school
j Manners which were carried in the pro-
f. cession before the service. This ban-
ner was adorned with a very aeras
looking ilon, with terrible claws and
teeth, while underneath him was the
legend, "Suffer little children to coma
unto me."

DESTRUCTIVE ARTISTS,
The Ruin They Wrought White
Ssaartlar Curler Criticises.
B,y no means uuttsual was the de-
struction of the Beret= angels In the
Cathedral of St. John the Divine by the
sculptor himself wbi:e auitrting under
the criticism that the -co were no male
angels showu.
Gerome, the famous French sculptor,
had been working for weeks on the clay
model of a group lnt-prescnttng Spring.
It bad almost reached completion when
the artist became convinced that the
treatment was s rong, and in a minute
be had beaten the entire group into a
shapeless mass of damp clay.
Hogarth destroyed a picture which
had been somewhat severely criticised
by one of bus friends, but the most spec-
tacular destruction is related of Cbar-
tran, who for a tame had a studio in
New York. Ile was vislted by the hus-
band of an American woman whose
portrait be was painting, $5,000 being
the agreed price. The leasbantl, while
admitting It to be a splendid work of
art. declared that be could see abso-
lutely no Me-nee/see his wife in the pic-
tured
ietured face. Cha>i'tran laid down bus
brush and, taking out his penknife, slit
the canvas Into ribbons, after which he
bowed his critic out. It afterward de-
veloped that the man was disparaging
the portrait merely In the hope of ob-
taining a reduction in the price.
ERRORS OF SPEECH.
Ceaaaon Abase of the Vert. to Get,
to Lay and to Lie.
The verb to get Is one of our much
misused words. It means to acquire,
win, obtain, and primarily it elgndfles
the putting forth of effort to attain
something. Consequently it is not only
euper8uous, but incorrect, to speak of
a man as "getting drowned" or "get-
ting sick," and you may unfortunately
"have a cold," but It ie Impossible that
you "have got a cold." At this mo-
ment no exceptions occur to the writer
to the rule that got should never be
used In connection with have, which
alone sufficiently expresses poeseealon.
Say "I have the picture," not "I have
got the picture." "The dog has a
broken leg," not "The dog bas got a
broken leg."
The irregular verbs lay and lie are
frequently confounded. Lay is an ac-
tive or transitive verb, and ile is pas-
sive or Intransitive. We lay things
down or have laid them down, but we
and things lie at rest. You ile down,
bare lain down, will ile down or are
lying down; She ley down yesterday
and is going to lie down this afternoon.
A frequent error Is to confound the
pant tenses of these verbs. One should
say, ".?clary laid the book on the table
and lay down herself," but the book
lies on the table.
THE STOMACH.
Row it 1s Affected by the Use of
Mixed Fatty Foods,
The stomach never has the least pow-
er of digesting true fat. This Is die -
posed of In the intestines. When eat-
en in the ordinary forms, as fat meat,
butter, etc., the fat separates out in
the stomach and does not in the least
luterfere with the work of the gastric
juice on the other food, but when a
nonfatty food has been intimately mix-
ed with grease the latter prevents the
gastric juice getting at the food it
could digest. Fish fried in oh or but-
ter is by no means the most marked
hxample, as the fat does not penetrate
very deeply. Potatoes mashed with
butter are rather worse, and minced
vegetables hied with butter are bad
offenders. The reason advanced ex-
plains why pork is difficult of diges-
tion. Tbe muscular fibers are mixed
up with fat cells, and by the iiberation
of the oil In eacb tiny cell the eaten
pork is made Into an oily paste. A
very strong stomach will do the work
required, but it is not a fair task to
Impose frequently, and a weak stom-
ach will refuse to do anything beyond
remluding its owner by a tllima.w stabs
HOW TO STUDY PROPERLY.
Rooks Should ne Well Chosen and
Rend Carefully, Not Deveared.
Study is lake n diuncr•. The vlands
must be well chosen and eaten slowly
not devoured, then well turned over
In the .mental stomach for awhile tui

fectly digested nod furnish nutriment

without thought, which is like eating
without digesting. Others read merely
as a fad and soon forget ell they may
have learned.
The most satisfactory method of
study is the digestive. It is the thor-
ough one -the one that gives strength
to the brain. Take the subject you are
studying. Rend n few lines or a few
pages, as the case may be, then put
the book down and think on wbnt you
have rend. Tura It about in your mind
from every standpoint, Do not accept
It immediately. Argue for and against

to do this. Do it In your walks, in your

have satisfied yourself on the subject
go on with a little more in tbe same
way. In a short time you will find
yourself more a thorough student than

man who learns slowly, but surely,

COINED MONEY.
The Most Ancient 5peeimea■ Kowa
Are Those of Aegius.
Throughout the early parts of Scrip-
ture as well as through the poems of
Homer not a single passage occurs
from which can be inferred the exist-
ence of stamped money of any deecrlp-
tion. It is agreed that the Egyptians
had no coined money. Herodotus Is
authority for the statement that the
Lydians were the first people who coin-
ed gold and silver. The Patron Chron-
icle, however, ascribes the first coin-
age of copper and silver money to
Pheidon, king of Argos, 866 B. (1, in
Aeglna, which Aellan corroborates, and
the best numismatic antiquaries agree
In considering the coins of Aegtna from
their arc lc form and appearance the
most ancient known. They are of ell• ,
ver and bear on the upper side the fig-
ure of a turtle and on the under an in-
dented mark. Coins are among the ,
most certain evidences of history. In '
the later part of the Greek series they
Illustrate tbe chronology of reigns. In
the Roman series they fix the dates
and succession of events. Gibbon ob-
serves that, if all our historians were
lost, medals, inscriptions and other
'Monuments would be sufficient to re-
cord the travels of Hadrian.. The reign
of Probus might be written from his
coins.
NOSE CHANGES.
Tiber Are Gradual and iapereeptlbie,
but Continuous.
Don't worry about the shape of your
baby's nose 1f it is asnub nor be sure If
It pleases you by its regularity that It
will be the nose that will grow up with
it, for scientists have observed that uo
feature changes more as life progresses.
The length of the nose increases so
much faster than its breadth that theg,
snub nosed baby may evolve a Fon
even booked nue. This change In the
shape of noses Is gradual and imper-
ceptible, generally more expeditious in
the male than 1n the female, correlated
with various other characteristics, such
u intellectual attainments or weak
constitution, and producing different
results. During maturity and senes-
cence the bridge of the nose becomes
more and more prominent, Often more
convex, so that extreme old age may
even develop an aquiline nos., so that
one need never despair of possessing a
satisfactory nose at some period of his
life if he only lives long enough. But,
like so many other blessings that are
deferred, the right kind of a nose may
arrive too late to affect one's fortunes

To Teach Farming,
"There are too many clerks and book-
keepers, office men and laborers, in almost
every city, but nowhere too many farmers,
gardeners, dairymen, poultrymen,and the
like. I believe in making the biology
taught in our schools lead toward agri-
culture," said C. .T.,„,Ulrich. oi Duluth,
discussing The Practical Value of
Biology at the high school round table in
science yesterday.
"The prevailing method of teaching
physiology, together with a lot of infor-
mation of very doubtful accuracy and
usefulness contained in the average text
book on physiology, has made it a laugh-
ing stock among high school studies, or
teacher who knows nothing about it is
made to spend time 00 it, really teaching
it.
•
"I venture the prediction that that part
, of our high school course now known as
manual training will eventually lead to
trade schools and schools of domestic
science, an biology and kindred studies
to agriculture, the basis of all industry,
commerce, and prosperity for all."
This is a movement in the right
direction. The time has come when
sotne of the. simple and elementary
principles of agriculture should 'by
law be required to be taught in all of
the public schools of this state. , The
legislature at its next session should
enact a law -requiring this to be done
at once, under the direction of
the state superintendent of public
instruction.
Julius Schmall, of The Redwood
Gazette, has formally announced his
candidacy for the republican nomina-
tion as secretary of state. He is a
native of Minnesota, has been in
newspaper work since thirteen years
of age, and with an experience of four
sessions as chief clerk of the house
is peculiarly fitted for the responsible
duties of the position to which he
aspires. If the press gang had its

question as to the result.
The railroad commissioners have
prepared a maximum freight tariff,
based upon the 'Iowa distance rate,

and the companies are given until
Tett. 1st to file their objections. It
is a graduated scale from ten to 'four
hundred miles, and seems about as
fair a table as could be.devised.

Court convened on Tuesday, with
Judge F. M. Crosby presiding. The'
term was for the purpose of cleaning
up business which had been left over.
The judge ia looking younger and
stYonger than ever, although he has
entered upon his thirty-fifth year of
continuous service, and at present is
the oldest presiding judge in point of
service in the st:Ae. Aside from
being a judge who as a rule is
eminently sound in his decisions, he
enjoys an extended reputation as an
agriculturist, one of his hobbies
being the improvement of the potato,
and he is an authority on the subject
of the best _means -to propagate the
tuber. He is also among the first of
the public men to advocate the in-
struction in the elementary principles
of agriculture in our common schools.
He believes that every child should
be taught how plants grow; some of
the things essential to produce plant
growth; to distinguish weeds, and
classify them; whether they are
annual, biennial, or perennial, which
means a knowledge of manner of ex-
terminating them. He is an inter-
esting talker when enthused on the
subject of agriculture, and if he
could be induced to appear before
our law makers the elementary
principles of agriculture would be
added to the list of text books in our
public schools. -pine City Poker.

The editor says, no reference was
made to the father of the bidder dur-
ing the discussion of the report, and
it is unjust to permit the integrity of
the board to be questioned on the
trivial grounds of hearsay.
Reference, Mr. Editor, was !Ade

bring proof to the fact that one of the
reasons brought toward was a dislike
to my father.
The editor continues, the sick poor
deserve to be taken care of as careful-
ly and to have as accessible medicine
and physicians as the men able to
pay for it. We heartily agree with
you, Mr. Editor.
The editor continues. Dr. Peck
takes the work evidently more for its
clinical opportunities than for the
money there is in it. But, Mr.
Editor, why not let some one else
have a few clinical opportunities, so
long as they are willing to accept them
at a cheaper rate and thereby be a
saving to thelax payers? If, as you
state, Mr. Editor, the sick poor de-
serve as good medical attention ts
those who pay, why turn them over to
any physioian at cheap rates for clin-
ical opportunities.
The Farmington editor concludes,
All honor to the county board for
engaging the servites of the higher
bidder, when that was apparently the
cheapest in the end. Please be kind
enoggh, Mr. Editor, to inform the

nue, and the institution of state lot-
teries afterward became very com-
mon and very popular throughout Eu-
rope.
The earliest English state lottery of
which there is any record was in 1508,
when 40,000 chances were sold at 10
shillings each, the drawing taking
place in the west door of St. Paul's
cathedral
The prizes consisted of articles of
plate, and the profits were employed
for the repair of certain harbors. Early
tu-the reign of Queen Anne private lot
-
tele* were Hut:Tressed "as public nue
minces," but government lotteries, how-
ever, were still maintained, and from
1109 to 1824 considerable sums were
annually raised in lotteries authorised
by acts of parliament
The average yearly prdfit to the gov-
errunent from 1798 to 1824 was over
040,000. On the ground of injury to
public morals lotteries of all kinds
were abolished in England in 1826. -

FORGET YOURSELF.
Chs• Cass Grow White Ms

Forget yourself. You will never do
anything great until you do. Self cen-
aciousness Is a dimes° with many.
No matter what they do, they can nev-
er get away from themselves. They
become warped upon the subject of
self analysis, wondering how they
look, how they appear, what others
will think of them and how they can
enhance their own interests. In other
words, every thought and every effort
Seems to focus upon eel?; nothing radi-
ates from them.
No one can grow while his thoughts
are self centered. The sympathies of
the man wbo thinks only of himself
are soon dried up. Self cow-Joust:teas
acts as a paralyshi to all expansion,
strangles enlargement, Ulla aspiration,
eripples executive ability. The mind
which acoomplishee things looks out
not in; it is focused upon its object.
not upon itself.
The immortal acts have been nation-
ectoualy performed. The greatest pray-
ers have been the silent longings, the
secret yearnings of the heart, not those
Which have been delivered facing a
ttleal audience. The daily deeire is
the perpetual prayer, the. prayer that
is heard and answered.-Suceess.

DIAMOND,
rr Toe Want to steke The. Hese is
the Preece. ot Maestraetere.
Would you like to know bow to man-
ufacture diamonds -real diamonds? The
process is somewhat difficult, requtring
time, patience and some outlay of mon-
ey, but then consider the possible re-
sults! The diamond, we know, is !lino -
ply carbon in a transparent crystalline
form. It comes of humble parentage
and is brother to the lump of coal
Unlike easily crystallizable bodies,
carbon is insoluble in ail ordinary solv-
ents, but molten metals will combine
with it Let the diamond maker choose
Iron for a solvent for charcoal, melting
it In an electric furnace, allowing it to
take up as much carbon ea it can -in
other words, saturate !their with car-
bon. The crucible containing the white
hot metal should then be plunged into a
bath of molten lead. The result will be
that globules of iron will rise to the
surface of the lead and are quickly
cooled on the outer surface. Inside the
hard crust the iron remains for some
time in a molten condition, and as iron
expands in solidifying the contents of
these little globules receive a pressure
ttainable by any other means.
en the lead becomes solidified some
bullets of Iron will be found bound up
in the mass. Dissolve with some pow-
erful acid first the lead and then the
iron, and a retidne of carbonaceous
matter will be found to contain tiny
crystals -reel diamonds. Any chemist
with a well equipped laboratory can
make diamonds In this way, but the
largest of them will not be more than a
fiftieth of an inch in diameter.
THE CULT OF SILENCE.
Truest Intercourse Between Conceit -
!al Spirit. Is WItheet Words.
Now, to keep one's freshness there
ought to be a zone of silence around
every human being during some part
of every day. .11 is signiticant that the
peat religious of the world have eome
out of silence and not out of noise, and
the finest creative work is done, as a
rule, in seclusion -not necessarily apart
from men nor in solitary places, but
away from the tumult and away from
distracting sounds.
It is In silence alone that we come
into possession of ourselvee. The noises
of life disturb us as a cloud of dust In-
terring. between the eye and the sky.
There ought to he a cult for the prac-
tice of silence -a body of men and
women committed to the preservation
of the integrity of their souls by nei-
ther hearing nor making speech for
certain periods, pledged to the cuIttire
of the habit of quietness.
Maeterlinck has pointed out the fact
that the beet things are never spoken,
and the truest intercourse between con-
genial spirits is carried on without
words. If we said less and thought
more there would be far fewer things
to explain, many sources of irritation
would be dried op at tbe sources and
the prime cause of irritation, which is
nervous exhaustion or excitement
would be removed.-Outiook.

Howell's "Welsh Celebrities" says:
"Llewenn had the longest beard of
which we have record. When loose
and flowing it fell down over his
horse's ehoulders altnoet to ,the ani-
mal's knees. It was of a peculiar yet -
low or straw color, which was all the
more curious, both his parents being
dark haired mountain Welsh people.
Years afterward the mountain people
had proverbs which referred to this
freak, they often using the expression,
'About as long as Howland' s beard' or
'Yellow as the whiskers of Llewenn.' "
George Rilingworth, whom Queen
Mary sent to Russia in 1656 as one of
her agents to Czar Ivan the Terrible,
had a beard five feet three inches in
length, and Count Ruioff of Poland.
1607, rejoiced in the possesaion of a
mustache which was so long that he
could not touch the ends of it with his
angers.
Sulphur.
Sulphur is a solid, nonmetallic min-
eral which has been known from earli-
est ages It hard, yellow and brittle
and has a most offensive odor. It is
found in veins or beds, mostly near
active volcanoes. The imported sul-
phur meetly comes from Solfatia, in
Sicily, but large quantities are also pro-
cured from copper and iron pyrites.
These minerals are heated, and the sul
phur being volatile dies off in fames,
which are conveyed by Insane of pipes
to a condensing room. If left in the
powdery state in which it condezuses
It is called flour of sulphur. If melted
and cast into bars 10 1. called roll tml-

How People Lose Their Money
By concealing it about their person; by stowing it away in

by tucking it under Douches and carpets, in cupboards and

people lose their money, and sometimes THEIR LIVES.

THE GIRL AT
THE Y
Be SEWARD W. HOPKINS
Copyright. 1905, by E. A. Whitehead
The up express was due to pass at
1 o'clock, but it did not stop. Graham
would not have been in the office at
all, only he had some money in the safe
and had received orders by wire to
sleep in the station that night.
He did not know how much there
was. It had come in a sealed package,
locked in a small vouch. He knew it
was pay day on the new branch then
building on the 1st, and this was the
81st.
"Why can't they send a pay car?"
asked Graham himself.
"Too confounded mean," he muttered.
The hours dragged slowly, but Gra-
ham found some solace in thinking of
- Miss Delatne.
Miss Delatne was from Chicago. She
was visiting the daughter of Silas
Jones, whom she had met at school.
Miss Joues was tall, big and strong;
Miss Delaine was dainty.
Miss Jones, with the advantage of her
boarding scttlool years, dressed well;
Miss Delaine dressed better.
Graham had suddeuly felt a peculiar
sensation when Miss Delaine got off
the local at Naomi. He knew that Silas
was going to have company. He had
no idea the company was built more
on the fleeting vision plan than any
other.
"If Silas don't feed that girt up he
will be all out of company," Graham
had said. "She's almost gone now."
Graham was a husky fellow and had
been at Naomi two months when Miss
Delaine appeared. As Graham board-
ed with Silas he bad an opportunity to
study her well.
"No more turkey hunts while she's
here," he grumbled to himself.
Miss Delatne took the grumble out
of him when she proposed a shoot, and
the three went to the scrubs, and Miss
Delaine brought down five to his three
and .Mss Jones one.
Miss Delaine proved to have more
get up and get In her diminutive body
than Graham acknowledged in his five
,. feet ten. She could box big Miss Jones
all over the barn floor; she could climb
a cherry tree in a light summer frock
and come down as neat as she went
up; she could swim better than Miss
Jones and dive as deep as Graham.
She could play the most charming
waltzes and sing the prettiest songs.
She had not been at Naomi two weeks
before she was singing in the choir,
and Graham made the hihtrowing dis-
covery that he sang bass.
So on thls night Graham consoled
himself by thinking gloomy thoughts
about Miss Delaine.
"•I'd be a fool to ask her and a brute
to expect her to accept if I did ask."
IIe said this with almost a groan.
"Why couldn't it have been Fan?"
Fan was Miss Jones. ` "But, no; she'll
marry Larkins, and if Miss Delaine
was poor I'd marry her."
Ho knew she was rich. She had of-
ten spoken about "our r road." James
Delaine was president of the Q. and B.
Disconsolate, he smoked his pipe. He
wondered how much money there was
in the safe. He knew the payroll must
be long.
He had read last Sunday's paper a
dozen times and gone off to sleep and
nearly fallen off the chair which he had
tlited pack. He had left the door open
Nor air. The night was warm.
"Hello there, young feller!" came a
voice. He turned toward the door and
looked into the barrel of a big revolver.
"Hold up your hands!"
"Er — I am agent here," stammered
Graham.
"Oh, we know that. You keep yer
mouth shut. We'll do the rest."
"I won't submit to robbery, If that 19'
what you mean," said Graham.
"Robbery, eh? Won't submit, eh?
Well, young feller, ye don't look much
like a fool. Under the circumstances
I wouldn't advise yer to be one even if
ye do know how. I've got two partners
here, and the first yawp out of ye will
mean a game o' shootin' big. Nov,
Jim."
Another fellow came In and went
through Graham's pockets.
"Now, young feller," said the leader
after Jim h::d deposited an express re-
•volver on the table, "just tell us the
combination to that safe."
"I refuse."
"What did I say about bein' a fool?
Say, I'll glee you three minutes to
make up your mind. You'll either give
us the combination or I'll put a hole
through you. Now, one." ✓`
Graham was silent.
Jim was working at the safe. The
third came in and grinned at the pic-
ture Graham made,
"Pretty boy," be said.
"Three."
Graham opei ed his mouth to speak.
"Ain't no use sayln' anything unless
It's the combination."
"Aw, kill him. We can blow open
the safe."
Graham knew that these men meant
business. They would as soon take a
life as eat. He could see his revolver
lying where Jim had placed It.
If only he could divert the leader's
attention while be grabbed his own re-
volver he would take a chance. Gra-
ham was no coward. He fixed his eyes
on the door, nodding to some imag-
inary person behind the leader. The
bandit laughed.
"See that, Bill? He don't know how
old that trick Is. Young feller, that
ck was old `before yon were born.
G e eta another,"
"It is no trick!" shouted Graham. "I
am not afraid of you, but don't !either
bear 1n here."
He looked frightened. The one call-
ed Bill lboked. Graham bad moved a
few steps forward.
d'Are you gain' to open that safe?"
"I tell you to shoot him," said Bill,
"He's trig to fool us twice. No beta
outside."
Graham could see the desperado
growing blpckar. He knew that after
be haUripened the safe for them—they
would shoot him to prevent ldentlflca•
tion. It had been done many times be-
fore.
He resolved to sell line life fighting
rather than yielding. He suddenly
darted toward his revolver, but the
leader was too quick. He had been
eipecting that The revolver wait sim-
ply a lure. He fired, and Graham fell
with a bullet In his side.
"Now, hang you, if you want a show
for your life give us the combination."
Graham was gasping. He was wait-
ing for the next shot that would kill
him.
Suddenly there was a sharp crack—
the smashing of glass--another—and
another. The leader was down, with a
bullet In his heart, shot througb the
back. Jim lay writhing near the
safe. Blil had pitched forward and
was grasping the side for support.
Then an apparition appeared at the
door.
A bit of a girl stood there, her face
whlte, a rine In her hands. She was so
small she looked like a child. Graham
saw her.
"You—you, Miss Delaine—at half past
1? How—how"—
She calmly gazed at the result of her
lightning work.
"To tell you the truth, I was afraid
and came here to sleep. After you lett"
—she was examining his wound while
she spoke—"Charley Jones came over on
horseback and said Mr. Jones' brother
was dying. I was out in the orchard,
and they could not find me and thought
probably I was with you. I returned
to the house and could not get In. I
had left my key In the house. I man-
aged to get a window open and went
In that way, but I was afraid to go to
sleep. I could sit up without fear, be-
cause I always feel safe with my rifle.
But I was dead tired after the dance
last night, and I wanted to sleep. 1
thought I'd risk the talk and come here.
It was nearest. I beard the shot and
knew you were in trouble. I ran and
got here just in time. Can you run the
sender?"
"I guess so," he said feebly.
"Wire to order that express to stop
here." She even knew the stations.
Graham dragged himself to the table,
got his call and clicked off the mes-
sage.
At 2 the express came roaring and
rambling in.
"What the mischief's the row here?"
bawled a heavy voice, and a powerful
man in a silk bat and black hock coat
stood with mouth agape while a frac-
tion of wbat would make a fair sized
girl slid, unconscious, to the floor.
"Nan, my girl, here?" said the big
man. "Here, tell Hawkins to come
here." Hewkins was Mr. Delaine's pri-
vate secretary and an operator.
"Hawkins, get Burns and stay here
till relieved by a new man. This man
won't come back. He'll either go to
jail or the head of a division. Get Nan
into the stateroom. Get a doctor.
There must be one on the train. Get a
woman to take care of Nan. • a, ti

think Graham has. There is a pack of
money 1n there. Evans said he feared
a holdup, and I sent the money yester-
day with orders for Graham to stay all
night. But what I don't understand
Is what—what Nan—at this time of
night"—
It was not many hours before the
whole story was told.
"Well," said Mr. Delaine, "you have
told a good story, but I know a better
one. I'll tell it when I see the result of
Graham's injuries."
"Yes, I know one as good as yours,
but it won't be time to tell 1t until
yours is told. And, papa, won't yeti
be surprised?"
"Tm—not a lot," said the president.

Plowing With Oxen.
There can be little doubt that the ox
was the earliest beast employed for
the plow. A white bull and a white
cow were yoked togetherto draw the
furrow fol• making the walls of Rome.
Greeks and Romans employed oxen In
plowing; asses only for sandy soils.
When the plowman had finished his
day's labor he turned the instrument
upside down, and the oxen went home
dragging its tail and handle over the
surface of the ground, a scene describ-
ed by Horace.
The yoking together of ox and ass
was expressly forbidden by the law of
Moses and is made the ground of a lu-
dicrous comparison by Plautus. Ulys-
ses. when he feigned madness in order
to avoid going on the Trojan expedi-
tion, plowed with an ox and a horse
together.

GASOLINE TORPEDO BOAT.
He. Speed of Eighteen Knota and a
Battleship Can Carry 11,
An interesting det'elopment of the
application of gasoline motors to small
naval vessels has been carried out by
the Sir John Thornycroft company,
limited, the well known torpedo boat
constructors at Chiswick -on -Thames.
This Is a gasoline launch carrying a
fourteen inch Whitehead torpedo. The
launch has a length of forty feet over
all, with a beam of six feet two inches,
draft of two feet seven inches and a
displacement of four and a half tons.
The hull 1s constructed of galvanized
mild steel, and the craft lies very low
in the water, thus affording but a
small target to the enemy.
A turtle deck le fitted forward and
is continued over the engine in a porta-
ble piece, extending as far as the after
end of the engine, where on the port
side are placed the steering wheel and
reversing lever. A water tight bulk-
head is provided, so that in case of
damage to the stem the boat will
not sink. The stern of the vessel is
made very broad in order to overcome
TORPEDO LAUNCH Di' MOTION.
the difficulty of stability when launch-
ing the torpedo over the side. Further,
in order to prevent the splash from the
bow wave being blown inward, "whisk-
ers," or detachable spray boards, are
fitted.
The propelling engine consists of a
four cylinder Thornycroft gasoline mo-
tor of their standard marine type. The
stroke is eight inches, with a bore of
eight inches. • The engine is of the
lightest construction consistent with
the maximum of strength and is so
well balanced that at 000 revolutions,
at which the 120 brake horsepower Is
developed, there is only the slightest
trace of vibration. Owing to the fact
that all the reciprocating parts are
mtde of the very highest class of mate-
r(ul it is possible to reduce the weight
to a minimum. 'The engine itself
weighs only twenty-five hundredweight
complete, which is equivalent to only
23.25 pounds per brake horsepower.
The fourteen inch Whitehead torpedo
is carried in the after part of—the boat
and is launched by lowering over the
side by means of side drop gear, the
body being first digected bow on to the
object which It is desired to bit.
The launch has a speed of eighteen
knots per hour and should prove a con-
venient and useful acquisition to a bat-
tleship. In view of its small dimen-
slcns it could be easily stowed on the
deck of a battleship and,qulckly launch-
ed when desired.—Scientific American.
A CREWLESS VESSEL.
Spaniard by Herts Waver Navigates
Eta Ship Front Shore.
An interesting application of the
principles of wireless telegraphy has
receutiy been made in Spain, where an
engineer of the name of Don Bernardo
Torres Quevedo has devised appara-
tus by which he Is able to control dis-
tant electrical power through the
agency of Herta waves. In some re-
cent experiments with a small vessel
he has been so successful that be has
received a grant of about $40,000 from
the Spauisb government to carry on
further investigations.
A few weeks ago the invention, which
bas been named the "teleklno" by
Senor Torres Quevedo, was. Installed
on an electric launch, and a trial was
made in the harbor of Bilbao. The
launch was loaded with journalists
and was sent about the harbor at will
just as if an expert navigator was at
the wheel. Speed was regulated, turns
made, the screws stopped or reversed,
and, in short, every desired maneuver
performed, and the launch returned to
the landing place without any interfer-
ence or assistance other than that of
the operator at hitt keyboard on the
ebore. While the idea is not new, yet
Ita practical realization as described
in foreign dispatches seems to mark
an important step, as a system of this
kind bas an intimate bearing on naval
warfare.
Not only torpedoes, but torpedo boats
carrying a considerable Quantity Of ex-
plosive, could be sent in this way
against a hostile fleet without the man-
ifest danger to the crew. If this were
done on a dark night the cbante of
losing such a craft would be vett
small, as only a single light to guide
the operator would be shown. In peace
the method would lend itself to small
ferries, where. It might be desirable to
maintain p frequent service, yet with-
out manning the craft with -one or
more men for crew.—Harper's Weekly,

ELECTRICITY IN THE EAST.
Tombs et Pharaoh■ Lighted by It.
Its tees In Japaa.
Every city of any size in the east,
from Cairo to Yokohama, is lighted
with electricity, and you will find a
ligbting plant even in the tomb* of the
pharaohs, among the ruins of Thebes,
on tbe banks of the Nile. Down in the
depths of the earth, in a vault chiseled
with unknown tools, In the bosom of a
granite mountain, lies King Amenhetep,
pharaoh of the twenty-eighth dynasty
(B. C. 1700), In a carved and painted
eolith, with a sixteen candle power bulb
suppended within a few Inches of his
royal nose. The ruins of Luxor and
Karnak are lighted by electric lamps,
so that tourists may see the startling
effects of light and shade among the
great columns.
Electricity is generally used far pow-
er thrpughout the orient, partleularly in
Japan, where the electrical develop-
ment has been just as rapid as in the
United States. Near the city of Kioto
Is a tunnel through the base of a moun-
tain several miles le length. It 113 oc-
cupied by a canal, and enormous quan-
tities of freight daily pass to and fro
in barges. At the mouth of the tunnel
there is quite It cascade, a fall of some
thirty or forty feet within a Quarter of
a mile, and tbe boats are carried up
this rise through locks operated by elee-
trlc current in a successful and econont-
Ical manner.
The arrangement is so clever and
novel that electricians from all parts Of
the world come to Inspect it. It is
more interesting because the scheme
was first proposed several years ago In
Site graduating thesis of a young stu-
dent of the Institute of Technology at
Kioto. The government was so im-
pressed with his proposition that It
adopted it and employed him to carry
it out. He 1s still in charge of tbe work.
There are several other remarkable
electrical plants in Japaa. The ruby
mines of Burma and the tin mines of
the Malay federation are all worked
with American electrical machinery.
The use of electricity in war was nev-
er carried Into so many departments u
by the Japanese in Manchuria. Every
picket had a telephone in his pocket
and could communicate instantly with
the main body of troops. Every out-
post of the Japanese army had a wire
to headquarters, and even In battle the
movement of troops was directed by
the commander in chief over a tele-
pbdne instead of by orders carried by
aids-de-camp and orderlies. Electricity
was used to a simltar extent in other
branches of the service, particularly In
gunnery.—Washington Star.

plished at the department of agricul-
ture every day.
'1•be officials wanted to make an In-
vestigation of the burniug qualities of
different tobaccos arid were unable to
get a "smoke squad" like Chemist
Wiley's "poisou squad," so the trick is
being done by a specially hiventod ma-
chlue. This machine Is fitted up with •
a cumber of glass tubes, into which fit
cll, ars, and the draft is given by a
vacuum arrangement caused by a jet
of water. The machine has not yet
been suWciently perfected to `-blow
rings" or do other fancy stunts, but it
tills the requirements of the tnreatl-
gators.
Samples of tobacco are sent to the
department, where, In a specially con- ,
strutted room, they are kept at au '
even temperature and moisture and
made up Into cigars for the machine.
The cigar is then ted to the maehiue,
and the burning is noted. Should the
cigar burn evenly, without flaking or
other objectionable features, tete seed
from the particular, plant receives a
favorable report. Should the cigar
prove to be of the "fireproof" variety
the seed ls. recommended for the fur-
nace.
The official in charge of the experi-
ments has adopted a method of test -
big wrapper leaf grown in the United
States. This should be completely con-
enmed in the burnlug. The wrapper
leaf is placed on a cigar shaped mold
and lighted. and if it burets properly
the seeds from the plant from width
the leaf Leis taken are carefully laid
aside for use next year.
By this method of selection and elim-
ination the olcials expect materially
to Improve the quality of tobacco and
to reduce to a minimum the growers'
loss on unsalable tobacco leaf.
FLASHLIGHT APPARATUS.

not alone on account of the imperfect

HEADLESS, YET ALIVE.
Insects That Continue to Exist Atter
Decapitation.
Must persons of :ut observing turn of
mind are aware of the fact that there
are several species of iuseets that will
continue to live without seeming incon-
venience for some time after decapita-
tion, exact knowledge on the length of
time which the various species of in-
sects would survive such mutilation
being somewhat vague.
Professor t'onestrini once uudertook
a series of experiments with a view of
determining that and other facts in re-
lation to the wonderful vitality- of such
creatures. In each case the head was
smoothly- removed with a pair of thin
bladed forceps, and when spontaneous
movements of the wings and legs ceas-
ed he enipiu -ed sundry irritating de-
vices, such as pricking, seice4ins and
blowing tobacco smoke over thFriusect.
As a result of these experiments he as-
certained that members of thtt beetle
family at once showed signs of suffer-
ing, while such as ants, bees, wasps.
etc., remained for hours unaffected.
Some which seemed stunne}i from the
effects of the operation recovered after
a time and continued to live and enjoy
a headless existence for several days.
Butterflies and tndfhs seemed but little
affected by the guillotining process. and
the common flies (dipterai appeared to
regard the operation as a huge joke.
"The common house fly," said the ex-
perimenter, "appeared to be in full pos-
session of his senses (rather paradox-
ical, when In all probability the ca-
nary had swallowed head, set{se�wnd
all) thirty-six '-ours after being oper-
ated upon."
The bodies 01 tome species of butter-
flies survived as long as eighteen days
after the head had been removed, but
.,ead itself seldom showed signs of
Life longer than six hours after decapi-
tation. In the general spmmary of
these huge experiments we are inform-
ed that the last signs of life were man-
ifested either in the middle or last pair
of legs and that the myriopods showed
great tenacity of life "and appeared
wholly indifferent to the loss of their
beads." '
A FAMOUS MONSTER.
An Old Time Wonder That Had an
Eye in it■ Knee.
In the writings of both Licetus and
Zahn may he found descriptious and
illustrations of a monster born at Ra-
venna, Italy, in the year 1511 or 1512,
the exact date being somewhat uncer-
tain. This monster had a body and
shoulders like those of a young woman.
There was but one leg, gradually ta-
pering from the hips down and termi-
nating 1n an Immense scaled claw, like
that of a turkey buzzard. There were
tour toes, each tipped with a bony nail,
three of them pointing to the left and
one to the right. The creature had
wings in place of arms and always
held them in 'an erect position, as
though ready to take flight.at the
slightest provocation. From the hips
to the single knee the flesh was cov-
ered with large, well arranged feath-
ers. From the knee joint to the foot
the leg was scaled. like that of the com-
mon barnyard fowl, the spot where the
feathers left off and the scales com-
menced being marked with a large lid-
lesa eye, which seemed to be altogether
incapable of voluntary motion. The
neck, head and general outlines the
face were those of a woman, ut e
ears were large and set very w al-
most on the neck.
The head was covered with a queer
mixture of scales, feathers and hair,
but the oddity of the whole "upper
story" was a pointed horn, which rose
just In the edge, of the hair on the cen-
ter of the forehead. This horn was
three Inches in length, and, according
to Zahn, "even n farmer would have
mistaken it for the horn of a two-year-
old heifer had It been removed and
shown to him."
The old time wonder mongers all give
pictures and descriptions of this "horn-
ed Italian monster," but none tells how
long It lived or what was done with
the body after death.
Doubles the \umber of Stars.
A new glass described by Emile
Tonchet is very transparent to invisi-
ble chemical rays. In simultaneous
photographs of part of the constella-
tion Syra a lens of this glass showed
019 stars, while one of ordinary Jena
glass showed but 351.
THE AGILE TIGER.
Ire is "Shod With Silence" and is aa
Quick aa Lightning.
Jiost wild animais are specialists—
that is to say, they are highly develop-
ed in one particular direction. The
tiger is great as a stalker. His feet
seem to be "shod with silence." R. H.
Elliot, for many years a resident of
India, cited an experience of one of his
neighbors illustrative of this point.
He had been much annoyed by tigers
and at last tied a bullock out 1n n clear-
ing and took up his own position In a
tree to wait till the tiger should come
after the halt. The ground was cov-
ered with dried leaves, which in hot
weather are so brittle that eveu the
walking of a bird over them can be
heard for a good distance.
In no verx, long time a Targe tiger
sllpplvl out of the forest and slowly
edged toward the bullock. His method
was so elaborate and careful that the
Milli who taus It used to declare that
it would have been worth 1,000 rupees
to any young sportsman to hare wit•
nessed it.
So carefully did he put down each
paw and so gradually did he crush the
j leaves under It that not a sound was
I to be heard. Between him and the bul-
i.)ek was a sutmp about four feet high,
with long projecting surface roots.
Dale, plainly, the tiger looked upon as
a godseud.
He got upon one of the roots, bal-
anted himself carefully and so was
able to walk quickly and silently as
far as the stump. He approached so
gradually and noiselessly and his col-
or against the brown leaves was so
invisible that he was close upon the
bullock before he was perceived.
Then instantly the bullock charged.
The tiger eluded him and in a moment
more had ;his paws on the bullock's
neck ready to drag him down. Then,
like a flash, he caught sight of the
rope by which the bullock was tied
and turned and sprang into the forest,
all so quickly that the man in the tree
had no opportunity to fire.
SIZE OF A THUNDERBOLT.
Geologist,. Have a System by Which
Stich Measures Ars Taken.
"Did you ever see the diameter of a
lightning flash measured?" asked a
geologist. "Well, here is the case which
once inclosed a flash of lightning, fitted
It exactly, SO that yon can see how big
It was. This is called a 'fulgarite,' or
'lightning bole,' and the material it is
made of Is glass.
"When a bolt df lightning strikes a
bed of sand it plunges downward into
the sited for a distance less or greater,
transforming simultaneously into glass
the slllea In the material through which
It passes. Thus by its great heat It
forms a glass tube of precisely its own
size.
"Now and then such a tube, known
as a fulgarite, is found and dug up.
Fulgarltes have been followed into the
sand by excavations for nearly thirty
feet. They vary in interior diameter
from the size of a quill to three inches
or more, according to the 'bore' of the
flash. But fulgarites are not produced
alone In sand. They are found also in
solid rock, though very naturally of
slight depth, and frequently existing as
a thin, glassy covering on the surface.
"Such fuigarites occur in astonishing
abundance on the summit of Little Ara-
rat, in Armenia. The rock is so soft
and porous that blocks a foot long can
be obtained, perforated in all direc-
tions by little tubes filled with bottle
green glass formed from the fused
rock.
"Some wonderful fulgarites were
found by Humboldt on the high Nevada
de Toluca, in Mexico. Masses of the
rock were covered with a thin layer of
green glass. Its peculiar shimmer in
the sun led Humboldt to ascend the
precipitous pettk at the risk of his life."

THE TAIL OF A COMET.

I Tice sail o; it ciene: is not formed of

yesterday or even nit hour or a moment
ago. it is constantly being renewed at
the expeuse of the nucleus. .As the long
stream of black smoke from the neigh-
boring factory or mill is being eontlnu-
ially renewed by fresh particles of car-
bon released by the combustion going
on in the furuaee below, so is the won-
derful luminous train of cemetery bod-
ies being constantly replenished by
particles flying from or rather driven
from the nueleas by the intense heat of
the sun.
Tie again, hots infinitely small and
how intensely luminous must these par-
ticles C•at g, to woke up the tall of a
comet be! This thong!tt Is suggested by
the fact that it has been proved that in
some 'as: s the nueleu.s of comets which
are only a few hundred miles In dieme-
ter will have eu•rtuous fanlike tails
stretching neem; swim for n distance
exclae:'.ing _ti';>,ral,l a miles and having
a hulk exceeding that of the sun by
more than Most times' Professor E.
E. Barnard beautifully Illustrates the
formation of LLCM/D.04 tall by "suppos-
ing" thus: "Suppose, for example, that
the nucleus of a comet is composed of
ice, Then suppose the heat of. the sun
to be so Intense as to rapidly melt that
portion of the ice globe exposed to the
action of its rays, which are strong
enough to immediately convert it Into
vapor, which ascends toward the sun.
"Imagine now a fierce wind blowing
out from the sun, causing the vapor
which meets it to be whirled out into
space behind the comet. This will
clearly Illustrate the theory of the for-
mation of a comet's tall, only that the
nucleus of the comet Is not ice and the
vapor is not water vapor, neither is the
force which drives it aw4y from the
sun a fierce wind."
The unknown force hinted at .ty the
astronomer above quoted readily ex-
plains why a comet's tall, as a rile,
points in an opposite direction to the
sun. The Russian astronomer Bredle-
chen distinguishes three different types
of cometary talcs—those composed of
particles having the specific gravity of
hydrogen. those having the specific
gravity of hydrocarbon gts and a third
class having all the peculiarities of an
equal mixture of hydrogen and Iron
vapor.

The Peculiar Accident by Which It
Was Discovered,
One of the greatest discoveries ever
made was the result of the purest acct.
dent. • It was tha- ye:t' IT1N1. The citi-
sens of Munich had Just witnessed the
first triumphant performance of Mo -
wart's 'opera "Don .luau." and tbe the-
ater was deserted by ,ill save one man,
Alo1:3 Sennetelder, who, after making
a round of inspection In the building
to see that no sparks had ignited any-
thing combustible, retired to his room
to stamp the tickets of admission for
the day following. When he entered
his apartment he had three things in
his band—a polished whetstone which
he bad purchased for sharpening ra-
tors, .a ticket stamp still moistened
with printing ink and a check on the
treasurer of tbe theater for his weekly
salary. As he placed the latter upon
the table a gust of wind swept it hlgb
up in his room for a moment and then
deposited it in a basin filled with wa-
ter.

well as he could and then weighted it
down with the whetstone, upon which
he bad before carelesaly placed the
stamp. When he returned to bis room
the following morning lie was aston-
ished at seeing the letters of the stamp
printed with remarkable accuracy up-
on the dampened paper. A thought
came to him. He wondered whether
by some such means he could not sim-
plify his work of continually copying
the songs of the chorus. He went out
and purchased a large stone, commenc-
ed making experiments and, as we all
know now,. finally discovered the art
at printing from stone—lithography..
EXECUTION OF SPIES.
The Wsy the Death Sentence Is Car.
rled Out Ia England,
The ceremony of disposing of a con-
demned spy in the English army al-
ways follows a Seflnite precedent The
tmtortunate man is surrounded by a
detachment of infantry, and atter he
is provided with a pick and shovel he
is .marched off to a selected spot and
ordered to dig his own grave. This
done, the tools are taken from him
and his eyes are bandaged. The at-
tending chaplain reads•portlons select-
ed from the burial service, and from
the ranks of the escort twelve men are,
selected at random by the officer in`
charge. These men, having stacked
their own rifles, are led to where twelve
otherrifles are awaiting them, six of
which are loaded with blank cartridges.
Ojae of these is handed to each man, so
that np one knows whether the rifle he
bolds. dontalns a bullet or not and none
,can say for certain that the shot fired
by him killed the prisoner. The firing
party then marches toan appointed
'petition. The commands "Present!"
'Irlee"" are given, and almost before
the last word rings out the volley is
fired and the spy falls Into the grave
he has dug. Nearly everyman is mors '
.or leas affected on being selected to
fibrin one of the firing party, and many
towhee* been known to faint away at
being stagled out, while others are so
overcame as to be scarcely able to pull
the trlg=ers of their rifles.
The Changing Tides.
The most approved theory among sci-
entists as to the cause of the rise and
fall of the tide Is that the moon is the
dominating cause through its differen-
tial attraction upon the opposite sides
of the earth, drawing the nearer water
away from the earth under the moon
for the production of high water large
and in like manner drawing the earth
away from the opposite waters for the
prodoctlon of high water small. The
smaller tidal effect of the sun's at-
traction becomes noticeable mainly as
modifying the lunar tide, Increasing it
is the spring tides and decreasing it at
neaps and further modifying it In the
priming and lagging of the tides,
A QUEER ANIMAL.
Peculiar Toadlike Creature That Is
Foetid 1■ aarlaase.
In Surinam there la a' remarkable
toadllke creature the felunale of which
carries the young In a series of cells
in the thick skin of the back, which as-
sumes a strange honeycomb -like ap-
pearance. 'tVben this lady toad is car-
rying her nursery about with her she Is
a very repulsive looking object. Single
handed she would be quite unable to
cope with the important question of
placing eggs where they will be most
favorably disposed for hatching, and
for this she has to rely on the good
Services of her mute. Soon after the
eggs are laid they are taken up by the
male and pressed, one by one, into the
cells its the thickened skin of bis part-
ner's back. There they grow until they
fit closely to the •hexagonal form of
their prisons, each of which is eloeed
above by a kind of trapdoor.
After a period of some eighty-two
days the eggs reach their full develop-
ment and produce, not tadpoles, but
nand-.-► It.+ta fauna Tito am -
eon Of this is that the tadpoles, which
require to breathe the air dissolved in
the water by means of their external
flits, could nut exist la air
consequently this stage of development
is passed tbrough very rapidly within
the egg. In due time the young toads
to the number of 80 or 100 burst open
the lids of their cells, poke out Weir
noses and make their entrance into the
world- The mother toad rubs off the
remains of the cells against any con-
venient stone or plant stem and comes
out in a brand new spring outfit -
"HIS. HIGH MIGHTINESS."
One of the Titles Proposed For the
First President,
One of the embarrassments of the
new office ofepreeldeat was In regard
to title—bow the chief magistrate of
the United States should be addressed.
The subject had oecupled the attention
of congress, and a joint committee
from the two hones had been unable
to agree. The newspapers had taken
the matter up and discussed it freely.
With some "his excellency"' was
thought the proper caper, others wished
a longer and higher sounding title, and
not a few favored the appellation giv-
en to rulers in Holland—"high mighti-
ness" It was finally decided to the
satisfaction of all parties that Wash-
ington should be called simply the pres-
Ident of the United States.
While these controversies were at
white heat Speaker Muhleaburg was
one day at a dinner given in honor of
Washington and was asked by the
president elect what he thought of the
title of "high mightiness."
"Why, general," replied Muhlenburg,
laughing, "If we were certain that the
office would always be held by men as
large as yourself or my friend Wyn-
koop is large' sized gentleman from
Pennsylvania sitting at the table) it
would be appropriate enough, but if by
chance a president u small as my op-
poelte neighbor should be elected it
would become ridiculous." — Wasbtng-

LIFE INSURANCE.
Its Eariy Struggles and Reverses la
Thf■ Country,
' The origin of insurance in this coun-
try dates from 1752 and had its first
beginning in Philadelphia.
The first company was the Philadel-
phia Contributionship For the Insur-
ance of Houses From Losses by Fire,
and its insignia was four clasped hands,
which was its house badge. This mark
may still be seen throughout eastern
Pennsylvania and New Jersey on old
time houses. The company survived
till 1847. In 1792 the fat life insur-
ance company was founded in the
same city. It was called the Universal
Tontine. The next year similar com-
panies were started in Boston and in
New Yost, Its avowed aim was "for
the purpose of raising a fund upon lives
to be applied to charitable and other
uses," Its subscription books were
opened on March 29, and five general
agents were appointed.
Some business was done during the
safamer, but In November of that year
a general meeting of the subscribers
was called, and the Idea of a general
insurance company was suggested and
met with approval. The proposition
was referred to a committee, and at an
adjourned meeting held at the state-
house on Nor, 13 It was resolved that
"tie Universal Tontine association be
i and Is hereby changed from its original
bbject and converted Into a society to
be called the Insurance Company of
North America," Its first policy was
issued to John Maxwell Nesbitt, Its
president, for 16,888,83. it wrote both
fire and lite Insurance, but paid atten-
tion chiefly to the former and gradual-
ly dropped lite inaurance altogether.
la January, 1794, It considered the
policy of Insuring persons against cap-
ture by the Algerians and insured Cap-
tain John Collet "on his person against
Algerians and other Barbary corsairs
in a voyage from Philadelphia to Lon-
don in the ship George Barclay, him-
self master, valuing himself at 16,000."
The premium charged was 2 per -cent
Two 'similar policies were issued, but
the premium was increased to 5 per
cent. Two similar policies were is-
sued, approved, one on the life of John
Holker, from June 8 to Sept 18, for
124,000, at 1;t per cent premium, and
one on the life of Albert Briols de Beau-
mes, for eighteen calendar months, In
the sum of 15,000. The demand for
insurance on Life was light, and the
business, which was finally abandoned
by the first company, was not revived
until 1820, when Hartford men took it
up and kept it running till It gained
the greatprosperity of modern times,
Value of the Average Man.
Genius is a phenomenon; the average
man Is a law. He has seen Shake-
and Wagners rise and fall, and he
goes on calmly, lmowing that It is be
and not they who are the race. Despise
him, kick him as you will, the last
word is with him, He L nature's fa-
vorite. Like a true mother, she loves
her dull boy beet. A Shakespeare was
too much for her, but she saw to it
that his faculty perished with him. He
died, a wonder among men, and his
family reverted to the average. Lest
the abhorred thing should reappear in
the course of generations the family
presently died out. The ease ja typical.
It is almost a commonplace of the sci-
ence of heredity that the appearance
of extraordinary talent In any branch
Of a family means the extinction of
that branch.—London Standard.

now Westminster abbey, and St.
Paul's, when, in 1550, an appropria-
t8n was made from St Peter's to
make good a deficiency in the accounts
of St. Paul's. Much opposition was
sbowu to this, and It was for the time
a popular outcry, "Why rob Peter to
Pay Paul?" The saying was revived
as a proverb upon the death of Wil-
liam Pltt, earl of Chatham, in 1778. The
city of London argued that so illus-
trious a statesman should be buried at
St Paul's, while parliament held that
the remains of so great a leader should
Inc placed with the dust of kings and
that to bury him away from the Abbey
of Westminster would be again a rob -
Wang of Peter to pay Paul.
Oae Mare Method,
There is a story of a medical student
before a board of examiners to whom
the queetio>i was put again and again
of how he valid produce perspiration
in a patient He proposed all sorts of
things, to which one importunate ex-
aminer always replied:
"Well, and if that would not do?"
At last the poor young man, driven to
his wits' end, exclaimed, "I would send
him before this board to be examined;
and I warrant that would make him
perspire."
Napoleon's Poises.
A curious detail of Napoleon Bona-
parte's costume was the religious care
with which he kept hung around his
neck the little leather envelope, shaped
like a heart, which contained poison
that was to liberate him in case of ir-
retrleveble reverses of fortune. This
poison was prepared after a recipe that
Cabana's had given to Corvisart, and
after the year 1808 the emperor never
undertook a campaign without having
Me little packet of poison.

TWO MEN R VE,
A Dramatic Incident of the Siege of
arteria,
It Is doubifai If the soldiery of any
nation are braver than those of Russia.
It is related of Field Marshal I'askie.-
vitcb that In the course of the siege of
Varsovie, being somewhat desconunod-
ed by a hot lire from a certain battery,
be ordered it to be shelled, but to no
purpose. His troops did not seem able
to locate the enemy. and their shot had
no effect. Finally "the field marshal
himself galloped forward and sternly
commanded:
"What Imbecile 1s in command here?"
"I ant," answered an officer who ap-
proached.
"Well, captain, I shall degrade you,
since you do not know your business.
Your sit,iis hare no effect."
"True, slr, but It Is not mp fault.
The shells do not ignite,"
"Tell that to others. Don't come try-
ing to fool. me with such,chaff. You
will receive your punishment this even-
ing."
The captain coolly took a shell from
a pile near by, lit the fuse and, holding
it in the palms of his hands, presented
It to the marshal, seeing:
"See for yourself, sir."
The marshal, folding bis arms across
his breast, stood looking at the smok-
ing shell. It was a solemn moment.
Both men stood motionless, awaiting
the result. Finally the fuse burned
out, and the captain threw the shell to
the ground.
"It's tree," remark
ed the martihal
turtling away to cons' er o er meas-
ures to silence the enemy's fire.
In tbe evening, instead of punish-
ment, the captain received the cross of
ABSOLUTE ZERO.
The Line as Unvarying as the Point-
iag of the Pole Needles
The zero of absolute temperature has
long been indicated nsa mysterious and
important point In two ways. The first
is the contraction of gases, which in all
known gases operates uniformly as the
temperature is lowered. As long as
they retain the gaseous state gases -
shrink in volume so uniformly with
each added degree of cold that au ex-
act, unvarying line of diminishing vol-
ume is established. This line is as un-
varying as the pointing of the needle to
the north pole. It cannot be explained
any more than the action of the needle
can be explained. As every gas is
cooled, however, degree by degree it
points unerringly by the law of dimin-
ishing proportions to a point at which
its volume would be nothing. If the
shrinkage continued, since the propor-
tion of loss of volume never varies, the
gas would shrink to nothingness. It
could not do so, of course, and all
gases sooner or later fall out of the line
by becoming liquid, when the law
ceases to operate, and the proportioIn of
contraction in volume ceases to be the
same. As long as they remain gash,
however—and the law is precisely the
same in all gases—they mechanically
point their figurative fingers in one di-
rection, and all these figurative fingers
indicate a point which Is 461 degrees
below the zero of the Fahrenheit ther-
mometer.
A •rrleky Actor.
Lemaltre, the French actor, was al-
ways head over heels in debt despite an
enormous salary and was always kept
busy devising means by which he
could raise money. One evening an
hour before the curtain was to rise up-
on a new play a well known pawnbro-
ker entered the private office of the di-
rector of the Theatre Francais.
"Here is a pawn ticket for you, sir."
"For me?" exclaimed the astonished
director.
"Yes, monsieur. It is for 20,000
francs, and I bold M. Lemaitre as se-
curity. He cannot leave my p1gce until
I bare been paid."
And the pawnbroker was telling the
truth. The director had to pay this
amount before he could get bis star.
Lemaitre and the pawnbroker divided
the spoils.
English In Switzerland.
Some odd English Is found in a
guide book published by the Associa-
tion of Hotel Keepers of Switzerland.
Brevity Is the object of the comptlers.
Thus the /Ogle Grand hotel promises
"bill., rest., physic. at the establ." It
Is only after reflection that the reader's
wonder at finding a "bill" among the
attractions Is allayed by the stop!
"Bill." means billiards; probably "Rest"
can be had elsewhere than in Aigle.
But "rest." means \restaurant and
"physic." physician. Another hotel at
Aigle enjoys "corroborative air."

IRVING TODD a SON.
SATURDAY JANUARY 27th, 1906.
The County Seat Queation.
Five citizens of Farmington have
filed a notice with the auditor that
they intend on and after Feb. 14th to
circulate a petition asking that the
county seat be changed to that village
In orde9to have a special election
called it will be necessary for them
to secure sixtry per cent of the legal
voters. - As there were upwards .of
four thousand votes polled at the last
election, this means that twenty-four
hundre men, many of them large tax
payers, must give their assent to one
of the most absurd propositions ever
sprung upon an intelligent** com-
munity. The expense of such an
eleetion would be fully $3,000, which
can easily be saved to the tax' payers
by declining to subscribe to their
paper, no matter by whom presented,
and regardless of the plausible argu-
ments that will undoubtedly be ad-
vanced by its promoters. It is said
that people generally will sign almost
anything, but hardly when it conies
to increasing their taxes a dollar
apiece just for the privilege of so
doing.
The courthouse, jail, and shet
house in Hastings could not be du-
plicated for less than $160,000 at cur-
rent prices of labor and material, and
the interest ou long time bonds at
five per cent would double this amount
in twenty years. It seems hardly
credible that fifty-five per cent of
the property owners in Dakota County
will deliberately vote to saddle this
unnecessary and oppressive burden
upon themselves and their posterity
just to encourage a little , real estate
boom near the head waters of the
Vermillion. The easiest way to
squelch it is to unqualifiedly refuse
to sign the paper. Taxes are high
enough already, -and it is a very poor
time to agitate the matter of doubling
them for something that the tax
payers do not want and do not need.
The Hon. C. R. Davis, of this
district; _ delivered an eloquent
speech in the house on the 15th inst.
in opposition to the bill removing the
tariff on sugar shipped here from the
Pluli ppi ne Iskends, his argument bei ng
that the beet sugar factories of the
country, 'like the one under con-
struction at Chaska. need the pro-
tection now afforded by existing law,
and that the Filikios should be en-
couraged to raise coffee, rubber,
sisal grass, and cocoa 'instead of
sugar.
tile state -printing commission is
having a strenuous time with the new
code, owing to the printer's• strike.
The Pioneer Press had to abandon
the contract after placing over tw
hundred pages in type, and it has
been relet to a union office, at an
increased expense of $1,850 for thr
thousand copies. It is lo take effect
Mar. 1st, 'a'nd will hardly be issued by
that (late.
The public examiner has completed
an examination of the accounts of
the state capitol conimission, finding
little from which any party capital
could be manufactured. The tnem-
hers of the board, while personally
honest, were merely led estray by an
extravagant architect and a gang of
greedy real estate owners and con-
tractors.
C. F. Staples, of this county,
formally announces his candidacy
for re-election as railroad commis-
sioner, a position which he has filled
to general satisfaction during the
past five years, and for which he is
eminently qualified., The nomination
should be made by acclamation.
The Wisconsin monument at Shiloh,
Tenn., is to be dedicated Apr. 7th.
The old veterans of that state who
desire to attend should address Capt.
F. H. Magdeburg, Milwaukee, for
particulars.
The state board of health reports
that the epidemic of small pox is
about at an end. There have been
upwards of twenty-five thousand cases
in the past six years, nearly all of a
mild form.'..
Mrs. R. L. Gorman, the first white
woman born in St. Paul, died on Tues-
day, aged sixty-two years. She was
a daughter of the late J. R. Irvine,
who located there in 1842.
The state board of equalization
will meet with the county auditors in
St. Paul, Feb. 8th', to consider the
matter of uniform assessments
throughout the state. -
The Minnesota and Wisconsin
lumber associations have consoli-
dated under the name of the Ameri.
can Pine Manufacturers' Association.
N. F. Hugo, of Duluth, announces
himself as a candidate for speaker of
the next house of represenfatives.
Dr. A. C. Docketader's unfortunate
ase of the term graft in his lengthy
communication of last week is justly
resented by the members of the coun-
ty board. They evidently bad the
same idea that many people entertain
in employing a family physician;
when they have a good man, familiar
with the work, and giving the very
best of satisfaction there is a great
disinclination to make a change.
The drug store of F. G. Harnish at
Alice, N. D., was burned last Friday
night, together with the postoffice, a
harness shop, and a meat market.
The fire started next to the drugstore
at midnight, and at six a m. Frank
had secured another location and was
ready for business. A portion of ,the
stock was saved, and he had $1700
insurance, but estimates the net lose
at about $1,000.
Johir Maidment, the well known
hermit who had made his home for
the past fifty years on the St. Croix
meadows near Sunrise, died in the
asylum at Mendota, Wis.; on the 4th
inst., aged over ninety. He was
from a good English family, and is
supposed to have large sums ot
money hidden about the place. Noth-
ng whatever is known of his early
history.
The fight upon S. F. Fullerton
resulted in his re-election as execu-
tive agent of tbe state game and fish

aged eighty-one years.
The state receivedjlearly $150,000
royalties from its irolt ore lands in
1905, which will be considerably in-
creased this year.
The ?lasting" & Stillwater Division.
PostniasterSam Sanderson, of Lake-
land, was in the city to -day. Like
all the residents of that portion of the
county, Afton included, he is pro-
testing vigorously against the change
in the mail service, which is now en
tirely inadequate to the needs and
demands of that thickly populated
section of our county. The service
as now arranged cuts off entirely the
supply of evening paperg or mail of
any description. The contractor who
carries the mail between Lakeland
andcHudson will meet with six weeks
or such a matter every year, whet, it
will be impossible to cross Lake St.
Croix with mail or anything else.
The service on the Milwatikee Road
”as uet'tuenly
better, safer, And surer than under
present contract. Four trains a day -
two up and two down -go by Lake-
land and Afton, but the people can-
not send nor receive a letter or paper
by this route. 'Phe people all along
the line from Stillwater to Hastings
inclusive demand that the old service
be restored. Petitions from Afton
have been sent,- and one from Lake-
land will be forwarded in a day or
two, to Congressman Stevens, re-
questing that the new contract he
abrogated, and the old service re-
store4 on the Milwaukee Road. -

above picture of the
man and fish is the trade-
mark of Scott's Emulsion,
and is the synonym for
strength and purity. It is sold
in almost all the civilized coun-
tries of the globe.
If the cod fish became extinct
it would be a world-wide calam-
ity, because the oil that comes
from its liver surpasses all other
fate in nourishinF and life-giving
properties. Thirty years ago
the proprietors of Scott'e Emul-
sion found, a way of preparing
cod liver oil so that everyone can
take it and get the full value of
the oil without the objectionable
taste. Scott's Emulsion is the
best thing in the world for weak,
backward children, thin, delicate
people, and all conditions of
wastingand lost strength.

A Change in the County Seat is
not Desired by the Heavy
Taxpayers.
A special Election Not Desirable
by Reason of the Expense.
It is the intention of the Commer-
cial Club of Farmington, according
to notice filed with the county audit-
or, mention of which was made in
yesterday's issue of The Reporter, to
start petitions over the county soon
calling for a special election to con.
eider the matter of the removal of
too county seat from Hastings to
Farmington.:
While the matter has not been giv-
en any serious consideration .by the
people in about South St. Paul end it
is the general opinion that the re-
move! of the county seat is not wanted
by a majority of the people of the
county, we believe it proper to Gail
attention to a few facts in connection
with the circulation of the petitions.
It will require the consent of sixty
per cent of the voters of the county
to hold a special election. It ie bare-
ly possible that that number of signers
may be secured, because many people
sign petitions without giving the mat-
ter a second thought.
A special election will involve the
county in an expenditure of more than
$3,000 and, as South St, Paul pays
nearly one-fifth of tbe taxes of the
county, the share that this city will
heve to stand will be close to 8600.
Farmington pays only about three
per cent of the taxes, so that the
special election will cost that town
not to exceed $100.
It will be seen that Farmington has
all to gain and but very "little to -lose
in seeking the election.
With this knowledge before them
it is the belief that the people of
South St. Paul will think twice.before
involving the county, in this needless
expense. •
Interviews with South St Paul
men today ou the subject of the
agitation started by Farmingtou peo-
ple tend to show that little favorable
opinion bad been aroused. They were
all opposed to the idea of moving the
county seat to Farmington.
"To move the comity seat to Farm-
ington would mean . the erection of
new buildings, which woulkt be a big
expeose," said Mayor A. S. Francis.
"I understand that the buildings at
Elastings are all right, except the jail,
which can be repaired. The bulk of
the taxes come from. Hastings and
South St Paul, while Farmington
pays but a small share, and I do not
see why Farmington should claim so
Much::
"It any change is to be made in
ittuatiun et the county Mit 1 believe
that it should be brought, to this end
of the oounty," said Ed. Smith, the
local merchant "Farmers of the
county come to South St. Paul with
their live stock and their grain, and
it would be convenient for them to
have their county seat in this section
also Farmington has no such ads
vantages to offer."
"There is no other place in Dakota
County for the county seat than in
South St. Paul, it thecounty seat is to
be moved," said G. L. Lytle. "It
18 easy to predict what the result of
the agitation started by the Farming-
ton people will,amount to. South St.
Paul people are not in favor of mos,
ing the county seat, and it is certain
that no support will he received at
Hastings. With theee two large
towns against Farmington, I don't see
where the necessary votes are to be
secured."-Sourls St. Paul Reporter,

Mrs. Josephine Demsie, of Duluth, Minn., Regains Her Health
in a Most Remarkable Manner.
Mrs. Josephine Demsie, of 605'W.
3rd St., Duluth, Minn., has for
some time been suffering with a
complication of diseases that orig-
inated with a disordered stomach
and which developed into dyspep-
sia; the bowels became constipated
and finally caused catarrh of the
stomach! the nervous system be-
came shattered and in a compara-
tively short time she was on the
verge of a nervous breakdown.
Her suffering was intense and
medicines did not seem to have
any effect.
A short time ago Mrs. Demsie
read of the Famous Cooper and
his remarkable medicines. She
purchased two bottles of Cooper's
New Discovery, the medicine that
has been curing so marvelously
Rheumatism, Catarrh, Deafness,
BIood Diseases, Kidney and Stom-
ach Trouble and Paralysis, and
began taking It.
The effect it had upon her was
the same instantaneous relief that
it affords every one. Regarding
her case Mrs, Demsie wrote: "Af-
ter finishing the second bottle I
was undescribably, relieved. To
Cooper's New Discovery is due the
credit of my restored health and
strength."
The above is one of the dozens
of remarkabe cases of the marvel -
ons influence of this medicine over
disease that come to light every day.
Cooper's New Discovery is an l-
ternal medicine and sells for one
dollar per bottle, while Cooper's
Quick Relief, the assistant remedy,
used externally, sells for fifty cents.
The "Famous Cooper Reme-
dies." as they are often called, are
sold in this city by Cooper's special
representatives, F. W. FINCH.

Authoress
By A. Si. DAVIES OGDEN
C'opyris.:b!. P.rt;, Ruby Douglas
It was eery- hot and stuffy in the II -
tle oilier. From the room beyond came
the Imont)tonous click. click of. a type-
writer. broken only by the regular
Jangle of the bell :Ind the shove of the
carriaze back into position. The editor
sighed wearily. Of w -hat earthly use
were the readers if they passed on
such stuff as this to him for decision?
Ile stared angrily :it the heap of manu-
scripts on his deck. lie was only a
very young editor, the junior in fact.
The editor sighed again. then applied
himself r(eiii utely- to his task. but how
tired he was of reading the effusive
autpat of those who conceived them-
selves as geniuses, and 'today he had
another ground for ill humor. Ali the
week be had been looking forward to a
quiet, .restful Sunday at his sister's,
and now the morning's mail had
brought news that spoiled all that.
"I atm so glad you are corning," An-
na's letter ran. "especially' as I expect
Edna Lawrence. She writes, too, and
I ant stere you will like her."
The editor frowned again at the
thought. 1Ie had at once sent Anna a
wire pleading detainment on important
business. It was very tiresome of her,
when she knew his tastes. He liked
women well enough. They were nice
and soothing and sat with pretty fold-
ed hands. Ilut girls' Ile shivered at o
the very- idea. They were always rush -
lug about, gigg C. chatterhig—it was I
easy to see that the editor was young. g
. There as a timid knock on the out-
side door. The click of the typess-riter 8
stopped. .\ moment Liter the stenogra-
pher appeared. i
"A. young lady wishes to see you,
sir," she said. \Carrington groaned, h
but he felt himself resigned to the
worst today.
"Very well; chow her in." he said
grimlc.• e
There was a ntumt•nt•5 pause, a hest- I
tating step, and then the editor fairly y
jumped- She w:1: so unlit ,• what he
i excuse and finds him there"— Site
stopped. '
"Yes," said tvarriugton;••"and does
she like hint?"
The girl threw him .a queer little
look.
"She likes him very much," she'as-
sentest, "hut then she doesn't know how
she is to see him again."
"Can't the man manage that?" inter-
polated Warrington. The girl flushed.
-oh, he doesn't think anything about
, it." she explained hastily. "You see,
he doesn't care about girls—and so"—
Warrington looked puzzled. Some-
how the plot sounded oddly familiar,
but he was not one bit conceited.
"How do you work It out, then?" he
asked.
"Oh," said the girl breathlessly, "I
believe they meet at the house of some
friend, and there's a lake and moon -
1 igh t" --
"I see," said Warrington absently.
The story itself he did not think much
of, but 1t had suggested an idea. How
was he, Warrington, going to see this
girl again? He was aware of a great
and growing desire that be should do
so. She had risen to her feet.
"Goodby," she said. "Thank you for
your kind advice, and I will try the
new story." Warrington made a des-
perate effort.
"And in the meantime?" he said. She
started.
"You wean"— se asked.
Am I not loin to see you again?'
He put it plainly She flushed deeper
than before.
"011, do you—do you really want to?"
she asked eagerly. "Do you?"
"I do," he said determinedly.
She drew a long breath, then threw
back her head.
"I am going to be at your sister's for
Sunday," she said distinctly. "if you
choose to come."
"Choose!" he echoed. "I will come,
f course. But"—staring In sudden be-
1t•ildermcnt—"who are you? I never
rave heard her mention"— But the
I;1 interrupted.
"I ant Edna Lawrence," she said,
peaking very fast. "And—and you
wail probably despise toe, but I am go-
ng to tell you the truth. Anna Inad-
ertently let fall this morning that on
my account you were foregoing your
oliday, and, of course, I felt sorry.
Ind and 1 told her dual would make
ou come, and she wagered me that I
ouldn't. So --so, of course, after that
had tit. ]lett you needn't," she urged.
I—I will never tell her that you said
ou would."
The tears were perilously near the
brown eyes now. But Warrington, who
had got himself well under command
again. came closer to her.
"I see," be said. "And the story?"
The girl swallowe4 a little sob.
"Oh. I wrote it, site said. "Hope
Gillman is the name I took. I—I'11 try
to rewrite it."
"I mean the other," said Warrington
gently. 'The one about the girl who
came to the man's o®ce. Did—did she
really like him?" he demanded, bis own
voice changing sharply. "For It wasn't
quite right as you had It. Perhaps the
man had never cared for girls before,
but this one he did care for, and he
did try to see her again. Did be suc-
ceed? Were there a lake and moon-
light? Tell ane," bis tone dropping to
!n eager entreaty. "May I come to
Anna's tonight?"
But the girl, who had fled to the door,
caught at the handle. Then she stopped
and looked bock.
"There—there certainly is a lake," she
admitted faintly, "and perhaps there
may be tt mown—tonight."
And the next moment she was gone.
"Y SEE," HE SAID. ''AND THE STORY?"
had expe•ted. Shy brown eyes looked
at him under long dark lashes with a
half wistful, half frightened gaze; a
sweet red mouth cpuiverec] expectantly.
She looked so altogether like a little
girl about to ery that the editor felt
impelled to comfort her. .
"Cotte itt," be said gently. And then
he smiled. "Do I look so terrible?"
he queried, rather amused, as the girl
still stood uncertainly.
"No, no," site said reluctantly. "You
don't. But, then, I never spoke to an
editor before."
Warrington's smile broke into a
laugh.
"I am quite a tame one," he assured
her. The girl came in, carefully dos-
ing the door behind her. Then she pull-
er] out a letter.
"It—it was that which gave me cour-
age to conte." she sn 1 1. "I—I thought
perhaps you nigh, have made a mis-

as one of the cleverest of the coming

a bit weak, and people thought that he
would get over that. IIe laughed.

The First Artificial Fire.
Iu tete course of time a man some-
where in the world bit upon a plan of
kindling u tire without baying any fire
to begin with— that is to say, be bit
upon a plan of producing a fire by
artificial means. He knew that by
rubbing his hands together very hard
and very fast he could make them very
waren. By trial be learned that by
rubbing .two pieces of dry wood to-
gether heecould make them very warm.
Then he asked himself the question,
Can a fire be kindled by rubbing two
pieces of wood together if they are
rubbed hard enough? He placed upon
the ground a piece of perfectly dry
wood and rubbed this with the end of
tC stick until a groove was made. In
the groove a flue dust of wood—a kind
of sawdust—was made by the rubbing.
Ile went on rubbing hard and fast,
and, behold, the dust 1n the groove be -
ran to glow! IIe placed some dry
grass upon the embers and blew upon
Them with hls breath, and the grass
burst into a flame. Here for the first
time a man kindled a fire for himself.
He had invented the match, the great -
ret invention perhaps In the history of
the world.—St. Nicholas.
A Precise Answer.
"Lawyers are supposed to be the
most literal minded men," said Ellhu
Root, "but every now and then counsel
in course of practice will encounter
witnesses who can give them points
in th4 matter of literal answers. An
Irishman was called to testify in a
damage suit arising out of the death
of a man 'at the bands of a bull,' so to
speak.
'Are we to understand, sir,' asked
the prosecuting attorney, 'that the de-
ceased, Patrick Flannigan, was your
father?'
" 'He was till the bull killed him,'
was the reply of the witness,"—Wom-

NOVEL BIT BRACE.
E.o.m.'1r Adapted to Boring Holes
In Nooks and ('ornera.
Electricians especially experience con-
siderable difficulty in boring holes in
corners anti other obseure points
through which to pass hires to connect
wltb hells or incandescent lamps. The
ordinary bit and bracelo not suffice
for this purpose. as It is impossible
to operate the handle of the brace
when it is close to the wall. An ex-
ceedingly simple eontrivauce attached
to the ordinary brace has been patent-
ed by two Buffalo inventors and is de-
signed for effectively and conveniently
boring holes in nooks anti corners ith-
accessible to ordinary braces.
At the top of the section of the brace
holding the bit is a bevel gearing mesh.

the end of the shaft is a small handle,
and the operation will be at once obvi-
ous. When it is necessary to bore a
bole in a place where the ordinary
brace cannot be used the auxiliary han-
dle is brought into action, which can
be fully turned without coming in con-
tact with the walls or other obstruc-
tions. The mechanism is so arranged
`that the bit and brace can be used for
ordinary purposes where there Is ample
room and the• auxiliary only broughr
into use in case of emergency.—Chica-

GERM PROOF SLEEPERS.
How the Erle Railroad Sterllliee
and Deodorizes Its Care.
Sterilization of sleeping cars between
Jersey City and Chicago is now a reg-
ular feature of the Chicago limited
tt'uitls of the Erie railroad, mud the proc-
ess Is must interesting, says, the New
York Press. Immediately upon the ar-
rival of the trains in Jersey City the
vestibuled cars are switched to a side
track.,.
The porters tiffs
1 open h
1 the berths and
hang the bedding on racks. The cars
are then almost hermetically- sealed and
a sort of formaldehyde gas, caused by
the mixture of two chemicals, Is poured
into the qtrs. After being "bathed"
for a siata(I length of time, the cars are
then thordughly aired, washed and dust-
ed, and are ready for the next trlp ab-
solutely free from disease germs and
bad odors.
The Erie company has been experi-
menting for n monjh upon methods of
sterilizing cars dud finally derided
upon the pr„sent systetn, which was de-
vised by Chemist Laudon of the tue-
chantcai department of the road. It Is
claimed that cars after being so treated
are absolutely free from germs of grip,
tuberculosis, fevers or other contagious
diseases.
A deodorizing apparatus has also
been devisiv] that for the last two
weeks has been In use in fifteen/Erie
club, parlor and commuters' ears. This
apparatus is placed under the seats of
the cars an•lves of an odorless gas,
which combines with the stale tobacco
smoke or other ofensit'e odors which
may accumulate in the cars and serves
to completely nullity them.
Sugar Beet Harvester.
A new beet harvester which eaves
from $5 to $12 per acre over the old
ray of gathering sugar beets Is now
oh the market. It consists of a knife
something like a plowshare, which cots
off most of the foliage. This Is followed
by a roller which carries a topping
knife and conforms closely to the un-
evenness of the ground and cuts off the
stems close to the beet. The diggers
which In turn follow remove the beets
and throw them out upon the ground.
These several operations are all per-
formed by the one machine drawn by
a team of horses at an ordinary walk.

unique method be placed In a space

eujoy the results of his labor, any one
who plants a thousand acres of trees
will leave something as good as life

for ties will never cease. Ten years
from now we shall want as many as

The United States Senate.
At the McKinley Day banquet in
Minneapolis last Monday evening C.
F. Staples, railroad ommissioner,
was the principal speaker. Among
other things he said:
The senate of the United Slates has no
more sympathy for the people and no
more knowledge of their needs than if
they were hying in Europe. If we get
anything from the United States senate
that the people demand it will not be
because of public -seotiment, but be-
eaeSe they are afraid of t he most
prominent and able man that the world
has ever seen. Theodore Roosevelt. A
marked departure from honest and up-
right and hoeorable men is found to -day
in our upper rational legislative body.
I have talked personall y w th a large
number of our senators, and I must
express these as my honest sentiments,
but I must also state that I make ex-
ception of the senators from Minnesota.
This...is plain talk, but fully war-
rantedby recent developmerits in
our house of lords.

Mr. Staples' Address.
Haying. begun this article with a
reference to the address of Mr, C. F.
• Staples, of the railroad and ware-
house commission of Minnesota,
whose term 'of office expires this
year, we would perhaps be doing
hen an injustice if we failed tosay in
conclusion that in our digressions
and remarks with reference to the
commission of which he is a member
we do not wish tgl be charged with
insinuating that he is not a faithful,
competent, and trustworthy official.
On the other band we believe that he
is oue of the people's representatives,
trusted, tried, and true, and, while he
has been favorably mentioned by
many admiring friends for the high
office of governor of Minnesota, yet
we would dislike very much to see
him vacate his present position. We
ought to have more of such men in
such positions.-MoraEnterprise,19th.
The name of C. F. Staples, of West

tioned as a candidate for governor

the talk by announcing that he would
he a candidate for re-election as rail-
road commissioner, a position he has
,filled to entire satisfaction for the
past five years. Mr. Staples rep-
resents the people on the commission
as no other member does, and we are
pleased tlfitt he has decided to be a
candidate for re-election. He should
have no opposition. -Chatfield Netcs.

Mr. Taxpayer:
Inasmuch as you have to pay the bills, you will be in-

your pocket if the county seat is moved to Farmington.
Here are the figures showing just what the experiment
will cost each township, village, and city of Dakota County.
Take a look at them. They tell you very emphatically
that Mr. Herrick's game is a costly luxury:

These amounts are based upon the reasonable supposition
that a new courthouse and jail would cost about $200,000.
To obtain this money the county would have to issue its
bonds. The best conditions possible would be twenty
years, at five per cent interest. The proportionate cost to
each township is computed from the state auditor's
abstract, which is final and authoritative. Therefore there
is no juggling with figures in this table.

For Thin
Babies
Fat is of great account
to a baby ; that is why
babies are fat. If your
baby is scrawny, Scott's
Emulsiorl is what he
wants. The healthy baby
stores as fat what it does
not need immediately for
bone and muscle. Fat
babies are happ:, , hey do
not cry; they are rich ;
their fat is laid up for
time of need. They are
happy because they are
comfortable: The fat sur-
rounds their little nerves
and cushions them. When
they are scrawny those
nerves are hurt at every
ungentle touch. They
delight in Scott's Emul-
sion. It is as sweet as
wholesome to them. •

-----
Wonderful Medical Discoveries That Act Like Magic Are At-
tracting Wide Attention.
The case of Mra. J. Nolan, of
2513 W. 2nd St., Duluth, Minn.,
who had been deaf for sixteen
years. during which time she was
suffering from catarrh of the head
and stomach, seems a rigid test
for this medicinal wonder. The
long standing and severity of the
case, however, makes no differ-
ence, as has been proved in this
and other instances, for according
to a letter recently received from
the lady herself, after she had
finished the second bottle, there
was an improvement from the very
first and she declares that she now
hears as well as ever.
The marvelous new 'medicines
not only cure deafness, but as has
been illustrated in thc case of Mra.
Nolaricatarrh also yields readily
to the peculiar influence of their
mysterious ingredients, for the
letter states: "I feel stronger and
better in every way and hear as
well as ever."
That these remarkable medi-
cines, Which are known as Cooper's
New Discovery and Cooper's Quick
Relief, are doing the wonderful
work that it is claimed, there is no
possible • douot, for every day
brings out reports of cases just as
remarkable as Mrs. Nolan'a.
Cooper's New Discovery sells for
one dollar per bottle, while Coop-
er's Quick Relief, the assistant
retnedy, costa fifty cents. The
remedies used together will cure
the worst cases of Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Deafness. Blood Diseases,
Stomach and Kidney Trouble and
Paralysis, and can be had Of

CONSUMPTION OF' LIQUOR.
Norway Is the Least Intemperate of
All the Nations.
Americans are only moderate drink-
ers compared with those of other coun-
tries. The average citizen of the Unit-
, ed States, counting in the women and
children (which is not fair, but serves
for the moment as a basis to figure
upon), consumes in the course of a year
sere liquors which contain one and a third
gallons of pure alcohol. But the French-
man, who, though formerly one of the
soberest, has become the worst drunk-
ard in the world, absorbs annually
three and a half gallons of alcohol.
The Belgian and the Swiss come uext,
with a consumption of two and four-
fifths gallons. Then follow the Span -
lard with two and a third gallons, the
Italian with just a trifle less, the Eng-
lishman and German with two and a
tenth, and the Austro-Hungarian with
about one and three-quarters gallons.
On the other hand, the American citi-
zen by no means stands at the top of
the list in respect to sobriety. The
Swede drinks only one and a sixth gal-
lons of pure alcohol in a year; the Hol-
lander drops considerably below him,
with one gallon even; the relatively vir-
tuous Russiau, notwithstanding his
!much advertised addiction to vodka,
absorbs only a trifle more than six -
tens of a gallou, and, finally, the Nor-
wegian, who occupies a proud eminence
as the most abstemious man in the
world, barely exceeds a modest half
gallon of the stuff In a twelvemonth's
potations. It might be added for the
sake of definiteness that the average
person 1n the United States annually
drinks one and a third gallons of proof
spirits (which are 50 per cent alcohol),
one-third of a gallon of wine and six-
teen and a quarter gallons of malt N-
um), chiefly beer.—Pearson's Magazine.

ECSTASIES OF MECCA.
Scene at the ,Annual Visitation of
Mohammedan Pilgrims.
Mecca, at the season of the annual
visitation of Mohammedan pilgrims, is
thus described in Everybody's in "With
the Pilgrims to Mecca," translated
from the narrative of Ibu Jnbayr All
of Bandar Ades:
"Like a gigantic catafalque, somber,
shrouded in mystery, the Kaaba rises
out of the seething sea of white garbed
humanity that crowds the great sacred
square of Mecca. Its door lb covered
with plates of solid silver studded with
silver nails. From the exterior of the
roof, above a stone marking the sep-
ulcher of Ishmael, which lies at the
base of the northern wall, there pro-
jects a horizontal, semicircular rain
spout fire yards long, twenty-four inch-
es wide, made of massive gold. With-
in the roof is supported by three col-
umns of aloe wood; the walls are hong
with red velvet alternating with white
squares in which are written in Arabic
the words, 'Allah-Jal-Jelalelf (*Praise
to God, the Almighty'). The building is
packed with pilgrims, praying, weep-
ing, beside themselves in an ecstasy
of passionate devotion. Mingled with
their voices there rises from outside the
chant of the Tallith, the song of the
wtnding sheet, which every pilgrim
must sing.on entering Mecca, on don-
ning the sacred Hiram, on entering the
Haram, and on starting for Mina, the
valley of desire, and Arafat, the moun-
tain of compassion."
Great In His Line.
Mr. Robert Barr once showed a por-
trait of Mark Twain to a silk merchant
of Lyons. "Tell me who that is," Mr.
Barr said. The merchant gazed at the
portrait and answered, "I should say
he was a statesman." "Supposing you
wrong in that, what would be your
next guess?' asked Mr. Barr. "If he
is not a maker of history he is perhaps
a writer of it; a great historian, prob-
ably. Of course it is impossible for me
to guess accurately except by accident,
but I use the adjective 'great' because
I am convinced this man is great in bis
line, whatever it is. If he makes silk,
he makes the best." Mr. Barr told the
French merchant who the portrait rep-
resented and said, "Yoe have summed
him up in your last sentence."—London

AN AFRICAN FOREST.
Peoallar Effects Prodd by Wiled,
Sunlight and titlow.
An explorer describes a central Af-
rica forest: "Ten miles west of the
lake begins the only piece of real vir-
gin forest met with. It is throughout
a dense virgin forest and almost im-
penetrable. It consists of very large
trees of many varieties. The upper
parts are festooned with a light gray-
ish green moss hanging In long stream-
ers and giving to the forest a very fan -
tune appearance. When these long
streamers are agitated by a storm they
make the whole forest, seen from one
of the hills near, look like a rough sea.
Again, when the stm is vertical the
whole forest appears dark, but when
the sun Is low the general effect on
the sunny side le curiously light.
"All the trees are bound together
with innumerable lianas and creeping
plants. Between the stems Is a dense
tangled mass of lesser vegetation. The
forest stands to a great extent In the
water and mud of the swamp. A
singular feature of it is the abruptness
with which it begins and ceases on the
plain_ The grassy swamp or open
country reaches to the mighty wall 'of
trees, which continue in the same den-
sity from one side to the other. There
Is no smaller wood or scrub °Waldo
forming a transition from the open
plain to the forest
"Inside, the silence and gloom are
accentuated by the apparent absence
of animal or bird life. There are some
herds of buffaloes that make It a head-
quarters, elephants visit it occasional-
ly, monkeys and parrots are sometimes
seen, and a harnessed antelope now and
then appears at the edge, but the gen-
eral impression left is one of lifeless -
nese."

la practiced by the horabills, birds
with immense bilis and horny crests,
which Inhabit southern Asia, the Ma-
layan islands and central and southern
Africa. T.11 most if not all species the
brooding female is walled up in a hol-
low tree and fed by her mate.
She remains confined in ber prison
until the eggs are hatched, and in some
species until the young birds are able to
fly. Meanwhile the mceher bas become
temporarily incapable of flight as she
has molted, or at least shed all her wing
feathers, during her captivity. But the
male is indefatigable in providing for
his family and is said to work so hard
that he is reduced almost to a skeleton
at the end of the brooding season.
According to the theory of many me
lives, the female is imprisoned to p*
vent tier neglecting ber duty of brood-
ing, and if abe has been unfaithful or
negligent her mate closes the little
window of her cell and abandons her
to a painful death by suffocation. The
true story, perhaps, is this: The female
walls herself in so that she cannot fall
from the nest atter losing her feathers
and also to protect herself from ene-
mies. The building material Is her own
excrement. This version is less poet -
teal than the other, but it is probably
nearer the troth. It is supported by
the statement that the female liberates
herself as soon as the young birds are
well grown, so that ber prison Is leas
formidable than It appears.—Scientific
American.
Origin of Italics.
Italic letters were first used about the
year 1500 by Aldus Manutius, a Vene-
tian printer. fie observed the 'many
inconveniences resulting from the vast
number of abbreviations which were
then so frequaitt among the printers
that a book was difficult to understand.
A treatise was actually written on the
art of reading a printed book and thus
addressed to the learned. By Introduc-
ing the italic letter he contrived an ex-
pedient by which these abbreviations
might be entirely got rid of and yet
books suffer little increase in bulk. Ile
dedicated hie invention to the Italian
states; hence the name. It bas also
been distinguished by the name of the
inventor and called the Aldine. The
first book printed in italics was an edi-
tion of "Virgil" printed at Venice by
Aldus in 1501.
- The attachments of mere mirth are
but the shadows of that true friendship
of which the -sincere airections. of the
heart are the substance.—Burton.

Does man's stock of words grow rich-
er or poorer with time? M. Moncalm

tiny for the race in the future. "Our
fathers," he says, "did not know th

New Dictionary Is a much larger work
than Johuson's, and we doubt not that
primitive man talked less than an M.

contain more than 250 vocable', where
an educated Elizabethan or Caroline
would have employed several thousand.
Nothing is more striking in the old
prose writers than the rich variety and
imaginative picturesqueness of their
language. Not only are we lacking in
concrete imagination and ashamed to
go afield out of the ',beaten track of

first devised forcible and strong have
through long currency lost their edge.

ALCOHOL IN BREAD,
Enengh to Give One About Four Plats
of Whisky a Year.
"You couaume four pints of whisky
a year," said 14* amateur chemist
"Now, don't be Angry or shocked. I
know that you're a strict teetotaler,
but just the same I know that you've
absorbed that much alcohol. How?
Well, simply by eating bread.
"It has long been known that the fer-
mentation of bread caused the forma-
tion of alcohol, but it was supposed
that it passed from the dough during
the Process of baking. Several scien-
tists have proved that bread, when
ready for eating, contains an average
of .800 per cent of alcohol to the loaf.
Yon mint remember that In many
countries strong liquors are brewed
from bread. Kvasa, the miftf Russian
beer, is brewed from brown bad,
"Now, if you eat 400 loaves of bread
every year you must perforce have as-
similated twenty ounces of alcobol,
which equals four pints of rye whisky.
"In ten years," concluded the ama-
teur chemist impressively, "you have
eaten 4,000 loaves of bread, and in
that number of loaves is about 200
ounces of alcohol, or the equivalent to
nineteen quarts of whisky. Think of
the saturnalia you have been on for
the last ten years, and you never knew
enough to complain of a big head in
the morning."—New York Press.

FEMININE HEROISM,

During the,oppression of tke Nether-
lands by the Spaniards in datilliteentli

Women to fight in defense ottheir na-
tive town. When in 1572 Dori Frederic
at the head of a large army taisieged
Haarlem, among the garriscrethat de-
fended the town were 300 women.
Their chief was a widow of distin-
gulahed family, about forty-seven years
of age, who, at the head of her ama-
zons, participated in many of the most
fiercely contested actions of the siege.
Seven years- later, at the siege of
Maastricht, the women were or great
assistant* in making mines,' enrolling
themselves into companies tinder the
direction of officers, or "mine mis-
tresses," as they were called. The serv-
ice they rendered was Inestimable.
At the repulse of the Spaniards from
the walls of Alkmaar women and even
children showed a like courage, assist-
ing their husbands and fatt'ere in the
desperate defense. History, indeed,
gives many examples 01 ins& heroism,
among which may be mentioned the
brave conduct of the women at the de-
fense of Sarragosaa in 1808, 'rhea they
took the place of their slain husbands
or brothers at the cannon Mei.—Black-

THE SENSE OF SMELL.

is the sense of smell excited by gale*
or particles? Ac,orallig to Dr. John
Aitkeu, an ELgilsh aped/dist, gas is tbe
fundamental basis of the sense of
smell. In exponments he first investi-
gated -musk. of which It is possible to
detect by smell a microscopic quantity
inconceivably minute, a fact well
known to scientists. Dr. Aitken car-
ried out his researches upon the cloudy
condensation basis, according to which,
if odors are attributable to particles,
the latter form nuclei of cloudy con-
densation in supersaturated air and
thus make their presence visible.
In the case of musk no such nuclei
were detected, proving that musk does
not give off solid particles, but evapo-
rates as a gas or vapor, and that it is
gaseous particles from the musk that
am on the settee of smell. 01 twenty-
three other odorous substances not one
gave its perfume in solid particles,
nothing but gases or vapors escaping
from them.
Dr. Aitken points out that the nos-
trils appear to substantiate this theory.
The perfume of snuff, for instance, is a
soft, velvety sensation, while the effect
of the solid Is sharp and biting, more
allied to pain than pleasure.

SILVER MINES.
1. Way Nature Forms These Dep...
its of Precious Metal.
The process by which nature forms
her silver mines is very Interesting. It
must be remembered that the earth's
crust Is full of water, which percolates
everywhere through the rocks, making
solutions of elements obtained from
them. These solutions take up email
particles of precious metal which they
find here and there.
Sometimes the solutions in question
are hot, the water having got so far
down as to be set boiling by tbe inter-
nal beat of the globe. Then they rush
upward, picking up the bits of metal as
they go. Naturally heat assists the
performance of this operation.
Now and then the streams thus form-
ed, perpetually flowing hither and
thither below the ground, pass through
cracks or cavities in the rocks, where
they deposit their lodes of silver. This
is kept up for s great length of time—
perhaps thousands of years—until the
pocket it filled up.
Crannies permeating the stony mass
In every direction may become filled
with the precious metal or occasionally
a chamber may be stored full of it as
if 1,00(000 hands were fetching the
treasures from all sides and hiding
away a mine for some lucky prospector
to discover in another age.
SPECKLED TOBACCO.
How the Little Yellow Spots Are
Formed on the Leaf.
"Little yellow specks on the wrapper
are positive indications of a cigaes ex-
cellence. Choose a speckled cigar, and
you can't go wrong."
The speaker was a skate salesman.
The tobacco salesmau laughed at him.
"Are you a victim of that error, too?'
be said. "Listen and I'll tell you all
about those little yellow specks.
"We are in Cuba. In mile long rows
grow the tobacco plants in a blinding
sunlight. Suddenly the sky is overcast,
a shadow falls. Then the clouds disap-
pear and the sun shines again upon
plants dotted here and there with im-
mense raindrops—raindrops peculiar to
Cuba, as large as the largest pearls.
"These drops become burning glasses
in the- sunlight. The same as real
lenses they concentrate the sun's heat,
and on the leaf beneath them the little
specks that you venerate are burned.
These little yellow specks indicate the
tobacco's quality no more than freckles
on a man's face indicate his ability.
"To choose cigars by their specks is
as foolish as it would be to choose
salesmen by their freckles."—Chicago
Chronicle.

AN ORANGE GROVE.
Modern Methods In Cultivating the
Gold of the Orchard.
You are certainly entitled to look
through that wire fence and see all that
constitutes an orange orchard. There
are 200 . round beaded trees, Yyst
twelve -feet in diameter. The fruit
looks Immensely as if it lied been arti-
ficially put in pinee. Really those
would pass for 200 Cliristurls trees.
Does nature do this sort of work any-
where else? You forget the cherry trees
In your northern orehard. You have be-,
come so familiar with the scarlet glob-
ules 'that hang all over those trees,
with orioles and robins shouting ap-
wet*, and tanagers with indigo birds
tatting in the apple tree overhead, that
you cannot fully see and appreciate the
charm. But you certainly have not for-
gotten the glory of s McIntosh red ap-
ple tree in October sr indeed a whole
orchard of ripe'Northern Spies, Spitzen-'
burgs and Kings. Yet the orange bas a
glory all its own. It is the gold of the
orchard. You thought the trees grew in
groves, "hut here they are in long, reg-
ular rows." That was a word borrow.
ed from the wild oranges that in Span-
ish days came up where 'they might
and were seldom transplanted. They
grew as those wild persimmons grow
at the edge of the orchard or as pines
and maples grow. But your modern
orange trees are grown in long rows to
be cultivated with plows and horses.
The real orange tree should stand
about twenty-five or thirty feet higle
with a trunk of fire or six inchemAits
foliage is dense and a rich greeirille
a grand tree to sit beneath et midday
and drink the juices of the fruit instead
of water—it is distilled perfectly. But
these trees are round and bow headed,
and one must stoop to get beneath
them. They are made of the grafter
shoots that came up around the old
trees after the freeze. They are more
convenient to spray, to protect from
the blizzard, while the fruit is more
easily gathered. You can walk all
about that orchard and reach half the
fruit without a ladder. It Is a good II-
Ittatration of how good sometimes
comes out of evil.
"Different shapes!" To be sure.
There are quite as many varieties of
oranges in this orchard as there are of
apples_or plums in most of your north-
ern orchards — fifteen or twenty, at
least. The grower knows them all by
name and can tell them all by the
shape and the quality. Re does not go
at random and pick any fine big orange
for his own eating, but he takes his
selection—the King or the Hornosasa,
or the Jaffa, or the Ruby, or Parson
Brown, or Satsuma, or possibly the
tangerine.. Re fills his pocket with se-
lected varieties and then goes to that
pine grove over there and peels them
as he lunches. It is very much as we
do with our pippins, and Swears, and
Princess Louise, and Jilliflowers.—In-

Russian Unthrift.
A condition of general unthrlft among
the peasants is one of the most striking
features of Russian country life. Ev-
ery stranger passing the frontier be-
tween that country and Germany is
struck by the marked change in this
respect which he encounters up to the
very boundary line and which the geo-
graphical position does not at all ac-
count for. There is uo gradual change
in the appearance of the face of the
country or the people from compara-
tive prosperity to extreme poverty, but
a sudden difference in the conditions
marked by totally dissimilar methods
of cultivation, dwellings and habits of
thrift. Everything on the German side
indicates careful cultivation and indus-
try, while upon the Russian side the
fields show bad tillage and neglect,
squalid houses, inferior and uncared
for stock and tools and implements ly-
ing in the fields exposed to the weath-
er.—Herbert 11. D. Peirce in Atlantic.
Longfellow on Error.
The little I have seen of the world
teaches me to look upon the errors of
others in sorrow, not in anger. When
I take the history of one poor heart
that has sinned and suffered and repre-
sent to myself the struggles and temp-
tations it bas passed through, the brief
pulsations of joy, the feverish in-
quietude of hope and fear, the pressure
of want, the desertion of friends, I
would fain leave the erring soul of my
fellow man with him from whose hand

The County Seat Question.
The county seat was first located
at Kaposia in 1353, an Indian village
on the Mississippi River, in the town-
ship of West St. Paul, all traces of
which have now disappeared from the
records. The following year it was
removed to Mendota, and in 1857 to
Hastings, which had then become the
largest town in the county. It is im•
possible to obtain the figures in either
of these changes.
Ananias Iterrb&
Ananias Herrick is like one of ■�
Mark Twain's characters, who knew
more things that were not true thou
any other man.
He throws facts to the wind ,and
goes galloping with childish glee
through the fields of imagination.
Having no other toy to play with
he invented the "gigantic conspiracy"
which was trying to loot the county
treasury.
He invented the surplus which is
to help build a new courthouse at
Farmington.
He discovered that a man can

question of removal to Pine Bend I ty to Farmington in two hours. Who
would 'not like a pair of those horses?
He thought that Lakeville would
want the county seat at Farmington
because that would take business
away from Lakeville.
He believed South St. Paul would
send the county seat to Farmington
because it would cost South St. Paul
the most.
He thought that by publishing an
edition of his paper in Hampton he
would get the Hampton tax payers
to vote money out of their pockets.
Last week he said that there were
twenty•nine hundred taxpayers in
Dakota County. This week he says
there are five thousand.
He said a new courthouse at Farm-
ington would cost $100,000, but a
new one at Hastings would cost half
a million.
However, he occasionally has a few
lucid moments, for never has he said
that. Dakota County needs a new
courthouse.
But Ananias is happy -now. A
boy once decided to tickle a mule.
As he thought about it he laughed,
it seemed so very, very funuy. After
he had laughed long and lustily, he
proceeded with the tickling. When
he woke up in the next county he
said "I'm glad I laughed first."
We do not begrudge Ananias his
laugh. Be happy while you may,
Ananias. We shall be pleased to
recommend a good brand of ointment
later on.
What It will Cost.
The Farmington Tribune says that
the cost to the county at the primary
election of 1904 was $622.50, of
which $284.80 was spent for printing
and advertising ballots; at the general
election $499.65, printing $171.85.
Cost less printing $327.80 ^.t each
election. That $75 will cover the
cost of printing at a special election,
in addition to $10 for each of the
thirty-five precincts for tellers and
judges of election. This it tabulates
as follows:
Expenses of distributing ballots
and getting returns $327:80
Printing and advertising 75.00
Expenses to the towns 330.00
was decided in favor of Hastings IT
a majority of four hundred and forty.
At the general election in 1868 the
question of removal to Farmington
was decided in favor of Hastings by
a majority of five hundred and
seventeen.
Up to this time the county of
Dakota owned no buildings of any
kind. For a number of years the old
Kennedy block on Third Street was
rented for its offices, where they re-
mained until Gardner & Meloy built
the west half of the stone warehouse
:it the foot of Sibley Street in 1862,
the county leasing the second story
and removing its valuable records
into at least safer quarters. Court
was held in Teutonia Hall on Ramsey
Street, the terms often lasting four
or Live weeks. There was therefore
no financial questions involved in
either of the three contests. Hastings
being selected as the permanent seat
purely upon its merits as compared
with Mendota, Pine Bend, and Farm-
ington. After tate last decisive ex-
pression of the people, and as a mat-
ter of economy, it was decided to
build. An act of the legislature had
been passed in 1'453 authorizing the
city to lease or to dedicate the whole
or a po-,ion of either Market Square
or Public Square, and in perpetual
lease of the latter was accordingly
executed May 8th, 1869• for county
purposes only.
Ground was broken for the jail and
sheriff's house June 11th, and they
were completed the following year.
The courthouse was not ready for
occupancy until Novemher, 1871.
The actual cost of the buildings is
not obtainable from the records. The
contract price is stetted at $95,000, to
which must be aided interest On
county bonds at ten per cent, the
sewer and water works, and the heat -
fug plant. A large proportion of the
bonds were sold for ninety-six cents
on the dollar. The,
buildings could
not be duplicated at the present prices
of labor and materials for much less
than 3200,000, and they are practi-
cally as good as they were when
tul•ued over to the county.
The jail was of faulty design, and
hots been repeatedly condemned by
grand juries and the state board of
control as insecure and unsanitary.
The courthouse has cost the county
but very little for repairs during the
past thirty-five years, and a few dol
lars would render it available for at
least a century.
The present contest is a very differ-
ent propc.sition from either of the
three in which Hastings has been im-
mediately interested. Then the
people at large had nothing at stake,
and nothing to lose. Now the
citizens of Farmington ask the taxpay-
ers of Dakota County to abandon the
buildings at Hastings and tax them-
selves to build new ones at their vil-
lage, merely to stimulate a local real
estate boom. Modern buildings, at
current prices, would cost fully
$200,000, and this would not be con-
sidered extravagant for a county as
large and prosperous as Dakota.
The county has no available funds
for this purpose, and besides it has
an existing bonded indebtedness of
$11,000, soon falling due. It would
seem to the average taxpayer that he
is'paying enough already without un-
necessarily increasing the burden.
The Cost of Courthouses.
Ananias Herrick makes a great
point of the fact that . some court-
houses have been built for less than
$100,000. Why, of course.
We know of one that cost but 3500.
You can buy a horse for $2 if you
want that kind of an animal.
Most of the courthouses in . Min-
nesota, at least in the older counties,
were built years ago, and have al-
most reached their limit of useful-
ness.
In Renville County they have just
completed a courthouse and jail which
cost $125,000, without equipment.
The Cottonwood County court-
house,
ourthouse, just built, cost, with the jail,
considerably over $100,000.
If every taxpayer in Dakota County
would inspect our courthouse
Ananias couldn't get a hundred men
in the county to say that a new one
was needed.
Total. 5752.80
Figures are not obtainable at the
present writing from other towns in
the county, but the amounts actually
paid by the City of Hastings at the
fall elections of 1904 were as follows:
First ward
Second ward
Third ward, 1st precinct
Third ward, 2d precinct
Fourth ward .
$ 79.00
73.75
72.25
88.75
70,15
Total. $389.00
Now what is the use of asserting
that the cost to each of the thirty
five precincts in the county for a
special election would be only $10?
An average of $75 would probably be
nearer the mark, making the total
expense to the county and towns of a
trifle over $3,000, an additional bur-
den to the taxpayers from which they
never would receive the slightest
benefit.
That Mysterious Surplus.
Some of our Farmington friends
have been enthusiastically elaborating
Ananias Herrick's little fiction about
a big surplus in the treasury. They
are now throwing out the inference
that an immense fortune is being
stored up to build a new courthouse
at Hastings. Such absurd and
malicious falsification is sure to re-
act on those who perpetrate it.
Every sane roan knows that the
finances of the county are an open
record for the scrutiny of every
citizen. All public expenditures are
made openly by lawful process, and
there can be no mystery about them.

commend itself to the people nulesa it is The people of Hastings have no greater
essentially for the good of all. Dakota love for paying -exorbitant taxes than the
County, one of the oldest in this state, is people in other parts of our county.
However, let it be understood that no
sane person in Dakota County has ever
favored expending $200,000 on the court-
house at Hastings. No citizen of Haat-
bags has ever claimed that there
was the slightest need for such ex-
pendituro or for a new court -horse.
No person familiar with the facts
ever thought a new courthouse world be
needed in the next fifty years.
The county commissioners do net fa-
vor any large expenditure upon the court-
house. It is agreed that the eotmty jail
should be repaired, and the commis-
sioners can be trusted to have this done
with bnsiiess•like economy.
The big fact, however, is this: No new
courthouse is needed, and none will
be needed for many yejitrs. Our present
courthouse is one of the very fineet in
Minnesota. There is not one in the en-
tire state constructed to more success
fully withstand the wear and tear of time.
It is built entirely of brick and stone,
and fireproof. There is nothing in it to
wear out except the roof and the floors.
Every floor is archon with steel I beams.
It is ars solid in every fibre to -day as it
was the day it was built, and any archi-
tect will tell you so. It has been oom-
mended by architects on more than one
occasion. It is a building which other
and richer counties than ours may well
envy, a building which is a credit to the
people of the oonnty.
Not only is the courthouse solidly and
thoroughly constructed, but it is at the
present time in the best of repair. It is
heated with a first class plant. Itis
electric ligated. It has a splendid
sewage system emptying into the Missis-
sippi
issiessippi River, making it wholly sanitary;
and it also has a sufficient water supply.
Here are four decided advantages in con-
nection with the building, which must
impress any person with the troth of the
statement that Dakota County needs no
new courthouse.
And it should be„ {.etpembered that the
jail improvements recommended are not
owing to the wearing out of the jail. It
is as strong as it ever web. The changes
suggested areiequired in order to meet
sanitary conditions, as they could not be
met at the time it was eonstrnoted.
If a new courthouse is built, the pres-
ent -property worth almost $150,000 would
be abandoued, and bring in not one cent
to the oonnty. Is it good business policy
to throw away .8150,000 womb of
property?
Farmington says that a new courthouse
could be built at that village for
$100,000. The present courthouse and
jail, with equipment, cost over 8140,000.
It was built thirty-six years ago. Every
one knows that it costs more than twice
as much to build to -day as it did then.
Brick, stone, and lumber coat twice as
mach as they did thirty-six years ago.
Common labor is higher, and bricklayers
get double the wages they then received.
To build our present courthouse would
cost to -day fully 8200,000. This is a very
fair estimate.
No taxpayer in Dakota County would
be willing to abandon the present court
hone and erect an inferior one at Farm-
ington, If a courthouse were built at
Farmington it would have to be at leant
as good as the present one. Dakota
County would maintain its dignity by
erecting a courthouse at least as good in
every respect as the present one, and this
would cost every cent of $200,000.
Furthermore the sanitary conveniences
enjoyed at Hastings oould not be obtain-
ed...at Farmington, which is located
where the water level is very close to the
anrface, far from any stream large enough
to carry away sewage, and where the soil
is a heavy loam, entirely unsuited to filter
beds, the only other sanitary method of
disposing of sewage.
prosperous and thriving. Every citizen
of the county feels a pride in that pros-
perity, and would take no step destined
to result in futnre disadvantage to our
common county and its prdt;ress.
Therefore itis eminently right that a
frank statement of the conditions btl
made, that every citizen may consider
the situation and act upon it with fall
understanding.
Farmington, iu asking that the county
seat be changed, advances several claims.
First, they assert that their village is
more centrally located and more accessi-
ble to a greater number of people than
is Hastings.
Secondly, they olailu that it will be
necessary to improve the comity build-
ings at Hastings, and that such improve-
ment will coat 8200,000; whereas new and
more eommodione buildings can be built
at Farmington at less than half this
amount.
Thirdly, they assert that the village of
Farmington will give a site and $25,000
to the county if the courthouse isloeitted
there.
In answer to these three propositions,
let the following tecta be considered:
First, as to the location of Farmington
and Hnstings. A glance at the map of
Dakota County will show that Hastings
is six miles from the extreme eastern
point of the county, aid that Farming-
ton is eight and one-fourth miles from
the extreme western point of the county-.
A careful neasnrement of the map from
north to south, from east to west, will
show that the geographical centre of the
oonnty is in section soven, town of Ver-
million. From this central point you
will travel nine miles by traveled road to
reach Farmington, and ten miles to reach
Hastings. 'his feet shows conclusively
that it is wholly an erroneous impresaion
that oonceivee Farmington ate more cen-
trally located than Hastings.
The centre of population, based upon
the last registered vote, is at Rich Valley,
which is quite as near Hastings as it is
to Farmington. -
As to accessibility, it is true that Farm
ingtonhas railroads running to it from
four directions, but as it is well known
very few trains run on three of these, and
they are of little use to persons desiring
to visit the county seat.
All persons tributary to the Hastings
& Dakota Road can reach Hastings in
the morning, attend to their business,
and return in the evening. On the other
hand the road is of very little service to
the people living east of Farmington, as
the train reaches that place too late in
the evening for the transaction of busi-
ness, and neoe aitates an all night stay.
The people in the northern end• of the
county reach both Hastings and Farm-
ington from St Paul, and the distance
from St. Paul to Hastings is shorter and
the fare lees than from St. Pan( to
Farmington.
All persons on the Iowa & Minnesota
division of the Milwaukee Road and on
the Rook Island or the Mankato division.
can reach Hastings in tkemorning and
return at night. No ha ip is imposed
on any of these people by a trip to Hast-
ings. One-third of the population of the
county is shut off from rail connection
with Farmington, in fact all of the coun-
ty lying east of the Great Western Road,
No one point can be ofequal advantage
to all people in the matter of railroad
connection. Hastings is as easily reached
by the majority of the people of the
oounty as is Farmington.
The second proposition is so absurd
upon its face as to need no reply, save
for the reason that it has been urged
upon the attention of the people with
much plausibility end with a pretenae of
being an actual fact.
•
Farmington has no electric light
system. It would be necessary to in-
stall a special plant if the courthouse
were located at Farmington.
As an example of the present cost of
buildings of thia character the court-
house at Hndaon, Wis., may be cited. It
is much smaller than our own, and with-
out the jail or sheriff's house cost
8160,000.
Mr. Herrick also says that the oom-
inissioners have a balance of $88,000
which can be used to build a now oonrt-
bonse. TWa is not true, but if it were,
and the county commissioners applied
this money to the building of new county
buildings, then the oounty would have
to borrow money to defray its current
expenses for 1906, which will amount to
about 840,000, and next year levy an
additional amount to pay off this in-
debtodneea. Perhaps the oounty board
might deem it wise business policy to
apply the surplus, if any, to the payment
of the existing bonded indebtedness,
$11,000, and interest, which is payable
this year. Renewing a note isnot paying
it.
Farmington also claims that it will give
a site and $25,000 bonus. Who has the
right to make any each promise on behalf
of Farmington. The only way in which
such a promise could be honestly made
would be to hold an election at which
the village would vote bonds for such
purpose, or by individual citizens raising
the amount by subscription. The village
of Farmington has no authority iu law
to issue such bonds, and the generosity
of its citizens has yet to be tented. If
the promoters of this petition were
acting in entire good faith they would
have first secured by election a vote on
the proposition to bond the village, or
have been able to show that the amount
was raised by subscription, and a certain
sure thing. It this courthouse ahonld be
moved to Farmington there is no way to
make the village of Farmington live up
to its promise. They would then have
the oobrtbonae anyway, and why should
they then give the money when it was
unneoeesary.
If a new oourthouae were to be built
at Farmington, costing as we have shown
1200,000, the oonnty would have to is-
sue bonds to raise the money. Twenty
year bonds at five per oent would bet the
beet conditions obtainable. This total
poet of 8400,000 would mean an increas-
ed tax of five per cent upon the present
asseeaed valuation of the county. This
means that a farmer owning one hundred
and sixty agree of land would be taxed a
total of $100 in addition to his other
taxes, as hie share of the coutttionse
expense.
Farmington would have to pay three
per cent of the cost of a new courthouse,
the reet of the county ninety-seven per
Dent. Their proposition reduced to its
final terms is this: If the taxpayers of
Dakota County will pay 8390,000 we,
Farmington, will pay 810,000, and have
the courthouse.
The man who pays no taxes is really
as vitally interested as the tax payer, for
he must realize that the prosperity of
the oounty is dependent on the proeperi-
ty of the property owners, and when
they suffer he entfera also.
As to this petition, why should any
person not interested directly in the
village of Farmington sign it? Farm-
ington believes that the removal of the
oonnty seat to that village would give the
Farmington merchgapte new prestige and
more business. It would. But why should
any one not interested in Farmington
vote to give Farmington merchants this
advantage over the merchants in the
small towna and villages adjacent to

Farmington? Farmers tributary to
towns like Lakeville, Rosemount, or
Hampton would oombine their trading
with their business at the county seat.
Farmington would gain this business.
Some one would lose it.
It will ooet over 83,000 to hold this
special election, an average ot seventy-
five Dente for every quarter section of
assessed land in Dakota County. By
signing this petition you may be sign-
ing from 32 to $4 ont of your own
pockets, and why should you do it?
What will be the result of all this
agitation?
It only creates strife and sectional feel-
ing and makes needless expense. It
means that the city of Hastings and the
village of Farmington will each have to
raise by subscription a campaign fund of
several thousand dollars to fight each
other through the weeks before the
election, and in case of securing it long
litigation in the courts, where it may be
hung np for years, as the Renville Coun-
ty fight was for twenty years, making the
oonteeting committees poor and the
lawyers rich. After the petition is Jaign-
ed it will be filed in the auditor's office
for public inspection, and every name
on it will be carefully scrutinized by the
board of county commissioners. It will
remain a public record for the examina-
tion of everybody. Do you want your
name reoorded in favor of a proposition
to put a heavy and unnecessary burden
of taxation on your brother citizens? To
allow that petition to get the requisite
number of signers is to open np a strug-
gle that will last for a whole generation,
making enemies of those who are now
friends and relatives, and oppressive
taxation where there is now pfoaperity
and good feeling.

There is on band in the treasury of the
county es a result of surplus and levy
358,000. Bonds for$25,000 more were of-
fered by the village of Farmington as
well as a location. There la at least a

to raise and this sum, if levied as the jail
money was levied, would not greatly in-
crease our la seg.—Farmington Tribune, ed.
As it matter of fact there ie no
surplus in the county treasury other
than to meet current expenses, but
there is a -bonded indebtedness of
$11,000 and interest, payable this
year. The levy of 1906 will not be
made until next tall.
The Village of Farmington has
never offered bonds of $25,000 or a
location.
The County of Dakota has no in
tercet in the present site or buildings
that can be sold at auction or other-
wise.
The additional sum of $25,000
would barely pay for the foundations
of new buildings.
When the editor of an alleged
newspaper has no more regard for
the truth than to publish such willful
and malicious falsehoods it Is about
time that his case was submitted to
the judge of probate for investigation
as to sanity.
Anauiae Herrick, of Farmington,
allows his enthusiasm to run away
with his logic. In one paragraph of
his remarkable county seat document
be declares that the present county
commissioners can be trusted to build
a new courthouse at Farmington
with business sagacity and economy.
Then he turns around and says they
cannot be trusted in the smaller mat,
ter of improving a jail. Ananias
needs a longer memory.
Ananias Herrick says a new court-
hogse at Farmington would cost the
taxpayers $8 each. He knows and
admits that it would cost more. But
why should any taxpayer outside of
Farmiogtoa shell out $8 just to
please Ananias?
It has just Leaked out how Ananias
Herrick etpeete to raise that prom-
ised 125,000 towards the building of
a new courthonee. He will give his
note for it, indorsed by Hi Korner,
Little interest bas been awakened
in the scheme of Farmington to secure
the county seat of Dakota County.
The law requires that sixty per cent
of the voters of Dakota County must
sign a petition to the 'county com-
missioners before the question can
even reach the dignity of an issue.
This means that two thousand, seven
hundred voters of the county would
have to sign a petition, and should
they he secured a two-thirds vote
would be necessary to carry it.
When it is understood that the
special election would mean an ex-
pense of about $3,000, to which
Farmington would contribute prob-
ably not to exceed $100, it looks as
though the proposition would have
"hard shedding." If it is to he
moved at all the natural piace for it
is South St. Paul. The notice of
contest was filed at. Hastings by
Israel Herrick, of The Farmington
Tribune. A wag of South St. Paul
suggests that "Herrick will move to
Rochester before the county seat
moves to Farmington." That is
about the way most people feel about
it. The whole thing is a Farmington
pipe dream. It is hardly fair to the
good people of Farmington to include
them in the chimerical dream —Wert

UNUSUAL INTEREST
Created By Mysterious New Discovery That Works Wonders
For Sick and Afflicted.
Of all the accomplishments of
science, of all the wonderful in-
ventions and scientific discoveries
of the past decade, none has proved
so valuable as a combination of
strange roots and herbs, the nature
of which has been heretofore un-
known to medical science and which
compose a medicine of such start-
ling power that scientists and
doctors are amazed.
Physicians have stood by and
seen cases that they had worked
on for years, cured as if by a mir-
acle with this marvelous product
of scientific research.
Rheumatism, Catarrh. Stomach
and Kidney trouble, Blood Diseases
and Paralysis vanish mysteriously
under its influence, and as has been
proved by many teats, disease once
expelled from the system with this
medical phenomena never returns.
A recent letter from Mrs. S.
McCormick, 720 Seventh Avenue,
South, Minneapolis, Minn., gives
an interesting account of a re-
markable case. In part she says:
"I secured some of the New Dis-
covery medicine and began taking
it for Catarrhal trouble and Neu-
ralgia but I had no idea the remedy
would effect the system so generally
as it proved to. After taking it for
a few days I noticed an improve-
ment. My catarrhal trouble dis-
appeared almost entirely and my
neuralgia was soon a thing of the
past. Now I eat better. sleep better
and feel better and stronger in
every way."
Cooper's New Discovery
strengthens the entire system; it
drives every trace of disease and
poison front the blopd and sends
the vital fluid, pure, rich, red, surg-
ing through the veins carrying
health, strength and vigor to every
part of the body. It is sold at one
dollar per bottle. Cooper's Quick
Relief, which should be used in
connection coats fifty cents.` The
remedies can only be obtained of

UNUSUAL INTEREST
• Created By Mysterious New Discovery That Works Wonders :
For Sick and Afflicted.
Of all the acoomptiahtnents of
science, of all the wonderful in-
ventions and scientific discoveries
of the past decade, none has proved
so valuable as a combination of
strange roots and herbs, the nature
of which has been heretofore un-
known to medical science and which
compose a medicine of such start-
ling' power that scientists and
doctors are amazed.
' Physicians have stood by and
seen cases tbat they had worked
on for years, cured as if by a mir-
acle with this marvelous product
of scientific research.
Rheumatism, Catarrh. Stomach
and Kidney trouble, Blood Diseases
and Paralysis vanish mysteriously
under its Mnence, and as has been
proved by many tests, diseaseonce
expelled from the system with this
medical phenomena never returns.
A recent letter from Mrs. S.
McCormick, 720 Seventh Avenue,
South, Minneapolis, Minn., gives
an interesting account of a re-
markable case. In part she says:
"I secured some of the New Dis-
covery medicine and began taking
it for Catarrhal trouble and Neu-
ralgia but I had no idea the remedy
would effect the system so generally
as it proved to. After taking it for
a few days I noticed an improve-
ment. My catarrhal trouble dis-
appeared almost entirely and my
neuralgia was soon a thing of the
past. Now I eat better. sleep better
and feel better and stronger in
every way."

BALLINGTON'S
CANINE By
PARADOX Mac Ewan
Copier-ipht, istr3, by .McClure, PhuUp. d: Co.
It was characteristic of Ballington
that he accepted even his dismissal as
Katherine Gordon's suitor placidly and
with a due regard for the proprieties.
His voice was cool and even and shad-
ed to the exact note of regret that a
well bred man should permit himself.
As Katherine tpld herself afterward, it
was like a John Drew matinee.
But if Ballington showed no outward
emotion it was not because he did not
care for the girl_ whose dashing ways
were his exact opposite; neither did he
give up hope. t'nder that carefully
groomed exterior there lay a bulldog
tenacity of purpose that few suspected,
least of all Kittle Gordon.
He kept on at the Bruntons' house
party. and even Dickie Hines lost sleep
wondering whether Kittle really bad
given him his answer, so correctly po-
lite was he in his attentions to her, for
which Kittie was .devoutly thankful,
slue Mrs. Brunton had given positive
orders that she marry Ballington, and
Mrs. Brunton's word was law unto it-
self.
It was her disobedience which
tsrought about the crisis, for when Bal-
ttngton left there had been an inquisi-
tion and Kittle, with a fine show of
spirit• had flounced out of the room, de-
claring that she would return to her
studio and freedom rather than eat of
the fleshpots as a slave, and the disap-
pointed Mrs. Brunton bad ordered the
carriage around and had taken to bed
with a slek headache over the miscar-
riage or her pet plan for her niece.
So it happened that Kittle in her im-
petuosity did not realize that she was
without money until she approached
the ticket window at the tiny station.
With a gasp she turned away from
the window and sat down on one of the
hard benches to think over the situa-
tbOn.
Town was 150 miles away, so that
walking was out of the question. There
was no one she could write to to send
her money, and she would die rather
than go back to ber aunt's house and
ask for her fare. Her brain was still
in a whirl when Harding Ballington
came slowly'into the wafting room.
With a rush she had crossed to him,
and in another second was pouring out

SHAGGY COAT.
her tale -a trifle incoherently, but In
sufficient detail to enable Ballington to
surmise what the matter was.
"That will be a very easy matter,"
he declared. "I'm going up to town
myself and shall he glad to escort you."
"What are you doing here, anyway?"
she asked curiously. "I thought you
bad gone away last week."
"Fred Cousins and I were back In the
woods for a little shooting," he ex-
plained. "We came out yesterday, and
I stayed over to see the county fair.
Do you know I never saw a county fair
before?"
"I'm glad you stayed to see it," she
smiled. "Just suppose you had not
come along. I should have been
stranded here."
"As it is," he laughed back, ''I think
I had better be getting the tickets."
He reached for his pocketbook, but
withdrew his hand, empty, and made a
rapid search of his other pockets, final-
ly turning with u look of blank dis-
may.
"Do you know." lie exclaimed, "that
my pockets have be:•u picked? I have

stay In this town all night."
"Why not the Bruntons?" he pleaded.
"They seem to be our only quick salva-
tion."
"If you suggest that again I shall
never speak to you," she scolded. "She
would be sure to find out, and I'd die
before I let her know."
"I might put the dog in pawn," he
suggested whimsically. "Poor Bruce is
about all the light fingered gentry left
me."
He regarded the ragged little fellow
with affectionate interest. The dog had
been his dead brother's pet, and, while
his rough coat gave him a shockingly
disreputable -appearance. Bruce was
deter leyoud fie run ot dogs,
During his brother's last illness Bal-
Ilugton had taught the dog a score of
clever tricks for the invalid's amuse-
ment, and Bruce was proud of his ac-
complishments.
scomplishments. Feeling that he was
being made the subject of the conver-
sation, the little fellow gravely turned
a somersault and sat up on his haunch-
es. For a moment Ballington regarded
his pet's accomplishment with specula-
tive eye.
"Do you mind if I leave you a little
wbile?" he asked.
"You are not going to the Brunton'?"
she demanded,auspicloualy.
"My word of honor," he said simply.
"May I suggest that you get yourself a
cup of tea at the hotel?" He placed
some coins in her band and with a bow
strolled out of the station.
It was difficult to get anything at the
hotel with the fair goers invading the
place, but at last she succeeded in get-
ting a light lunch and started back to
the station.
The special excursion trains were
pulling out of the station now, and the
platform was crowded with tired pleas-
ure seekers. Off at one de a large
crowd had gathered, and, nding that
Ballington was not In the tion, ebe
strolled over to see what th attraction
might he.
With a gasp she saw that llington
was putting Bruce throug his tricks
for the edification ot the crowd, and
with a sudden rush of anger she won-
dered If he bad been drinking. Then
with a revulsion of feeling she saw him
gravely remove his bat and page It
around the crowd. Most of them melt-
ed away, but many of them stopped to
drop 0 coin In the hat and pet the dog.
At last they were all gone, and with a
flushed face she was looking straight
Into Ballington's laughing eyes.
"I've got enough for the fares and the
Pullman seats," he said as he came to-
ward her. "Behold Bruce, the rescuer
of damsels In distress."
She caught the dog up in her arms
and hid her moist eyes In his shaggy
coat. Slowly she turned toward the
station, but Ballington laid a hand
upon her arm.
"I would suggest," he said, "that
since our train is not due for an hour
yet and as these excursion trains will
be out of the way by then It might
prove less embarrassing to you If you
waited until they were gone. They
might recognize your traveling compan-
ion."
"And to think I might have spared
you this If I had let yon telephone the
Bruntons," she said penitently. Bal-
lington laughed.
"Do you know I rather enjoyed it?"
he confessed. "I think Bruce did too.
He shall have his reward tonight In the
best chicken to be had in the market"
"And you?" she asked.
"I shall have the satisfaction of
knowing that we have fooled Mrs.
Brunton," he laughed carelessly.
She held out her band. "I refused yon
the other day because I was afraid you
were too dandified to be human," she
said softly. "I know better now. Will
you ask me again?"
But there was no need to ask. Eyes
spoke to eyes, and each knew the ode
er's message.
Famous Old City of Mexico.
The City of Mexico Is the political,

tropics at an elevation of 7,347 feet
above the sea, surrounded by. cloud
piercing mouutalns and snow capped
volcanoes, It is singularly exempt from
sudden changes of temperature- tod
blgh for heat and too far south for{

the Americas. Here the first minting
press was set up and the first newspa-

the pilgrims landed at Plymoutinrock.
The municipal government of the city

The Watch a Compass.
To tell the points of the compass by
a watch, point the hour hand at the
sun. Tben south is halfway between
the hour hand and the figure 12.of the
dial. To measure an angle by a watch,
lay two straight edged pieces of paper
on the angle, crossing at the apex.
Holding them where they overlap, lay
them on the face of the watch with the
apex at the center. Read the angle
by the minutes of the dial, each minute
being six degrees of arc. It is easy to
measure within two or three degrees

The Paathera of India and How They
Secure Their Prey.
In certain parte of India the panther
U named "bleat," which means calam-
ity, for be Is an ever present scourge
among the people. His proper name is
tendwn. It is the habit of these pan-
thers for a family of them to quarter
themselves on a circle of villages with-
in convenient distance of their nightly
prowlings. As soon as the sun is below
iae horizon they sally forth from the
cover of the surrounding forests and
watch the paths by which the village
herds and flocks return to their resting
places. 1f a meal eauuot be secured
then, later on they enter a village and
patrol the dark lanes in the boldest
manner. Nothlug comes analog to them
that is not too large and heavy for
their strength.
Children, dogs, goats and the young
cattle are their favorite quarry. They
are bold enough to dash into a huteven
with a ligut burning to it, seize their
prey, then rush away with lightning
speed and, with a noiselessness that
is marvelous, retreat with their prize
to the nearest cover and there devour
it. In the morning the poor villager,
following the tracks of the retreating
animal, soon arrives at the few re-
mains of his goat or calf or -maybe his
child.
In the followlug way the uatives get
their revenge: A stray dog Is caught in
the village aud is tied out on 'the path
generally frequented by the panther
family. The bait is carried off during
the ulght and devoured close by. Next
day a machan (platform) is fixed in a
convenient tree, and in the eveniug a
kid is ted on the spot occupied by the
dog on the previous night. The sports-
man settles himself In the machan be-
fore sunset and begins his watch.
Terrified by his lonely position, the
kid begins a frantic bleatiug, which
soon attracts the panther marauders,
which are skulking about uenr•the spot
where they found their Jest meal. A
short stalk soon brings them to the kid
and direct! under the concealed
aPortsmano to shoots the beasts. It
is impossibl to follow the panthers
into the 1m netrable cover they fre-
quent, and they never show themselves
in daylight. -Chicago News.
English as She is Written.
The publication which was once
brought out in Portugal bearing the
title "English as She Is Spoke" has for
a long time enjoyed a worldwide repu-
tation. Tourists on the continent of
Europe sometimes come across exam-
ples of English quite as curious as that
of the I'oryuguese author.
In the bedroom of a hotel at Genoa
the following notice was fouud: "The
lanhentations of the waiters are obliged
to be made at the bureau." It was in a
hotel also, and not a church, that the
following request was made in writ-
ing: "Visitors are prayed into dinner
when the bell rings, that they may not
disturb the order of the service." There
is a hotel advertisement fu Calais sta-

ionable spot of Paris. In the rear the
grand opera of a splendid architecture

CLIMATE AND SPEECH.
lett Language and Tropical Weather
Seem to Go Together,
Gutturals predominate in Norway
and Russia, whereas feeto the south-
ward in sunny Italy there is a protu-
elon of such euphonious names as Pa-
lerino, Verona, Campobello, etc. Even
in the British isles, covering so few de-
grees of latitude, there is a marked
difference between the "bur" of the
bigblender and the soft speecb of the
native of southern England.
A theory which may partly aeosunt
for these climatic effects is based
upon the coutrast of the stillness width
usually pervades southern lands with
the stormy inquietude of northern
countries, Cloudless skies for months
at a time characterize the climates of
Italy, while a firmament entirely free
from clouds is rare in Norway.
It requires, of course, greater effort
to' be heard in the reglow; which are
swept by winds and sforma than in
still 'southern latitudes, and to be
beard distinctly amid the noise and
confusion of the elements words must
be used which contain many conso-
nants.
Among the inhabitants of more trop-
ical climes the tendency is toward
soft and musical cadence, and travel-
ers relate that in regions in South
America, such as Peru and Venezuela,
where atmospheric disturbances are
rare, the natives almost chant the
phrases of salutation --London Satur-
day Review.
BABIES IN HOLES.
Where Uganda infanta Rest While
Their Mothers Hoe.
I huve gone into a field in Uganda
and there found one of our women at
work with a hoe, writes a missionary
sister In Donahoe's. I asked her where
ber baby :traria was, and she pointed
to a spot at, some distance where the
banana trees were thick. I walked
under the shade, and 1n vain I sought
the infant. The mother was greatly
amused and urged me to search fur-
ther, assuring me that the little one
was not far away and was fast asleep.
I.hnd to "give up," so the mother took
me by the hand and led me to a bit of
bark cloth on the ground. Under this
rag was the crinin of the baby's head,
while the body was in a hole deep
enough for the feet to rest on the
ground. To my surprise and expostu-
lations she said iu her own language:
"This Is ti good custom. When a
Vganda wgtnan goes to hoe It is not
good farber baby to lie asleep on the
ground, as it might injure itself by
rolling, or, 1f it awoke, it might crawl
away. Tberefore we make a bole like
this and line it with soft, clean leave"
and put our baby safely into it so that
it cau neither crawl out nor roti away,
and we know exactly where to find it
when we come from the fields," She
said it was perfectly safe from wild
beasts. becnuse it was midday.
in the High Sierras.
Coming down from the high Sierras
tato the Yosemite valley one passes
from almost arctic cold to the warmth
of the late spring, and the difference in
temperature is easily traceable by the
character of the foliage. On the high
peaks no green thing flourishes. Orad-
ually stunted pines and tamaracks ap-
pear, and mill lower the maple and
laurel are just beginning to unfold
their leaves, and then in a half a filly's
journey the wild flowers come. Hun-
dreds and hundreds of them of all
shapes and colors are found here, and
as you approach the rim of the wonder-
ful Yosemite the air 1s heavy laden

�1 SATISFYING STORY.
re Worked Both Ways la Behalf of
the Congreasmsaa•
dome years ago there came to Wash-
ington a representative in congress
from lowa who was au ardent cham-
pion of the cause of prohibition.
One day a friend from home dropped
in to see the cougressman. During the
course of his stay be had occasion to
tete his pocketknife, which the repre-
sentative much admired. This knife
had In it a book, "designed," so the
friend said, "to remove atones that
might become fastened in a horse's
hoof on a rocky road." Finally, seeing
the intense admiration of the congress-
man for the knife, the friend gave it to
him. R"hen the statesman had reached
home and had shown the gift to his
wife she laughed.
"John," said she, "any man who has
served three terms in the state senate.
been lieutenant governor and had two
terms In congress must be a pretty
good man If he doesn't know a cham-
pagne opener from a hoof cleaner."
Somehow the story got out and was
copied by nearly everd newspaper in
Iowa. Oue day the feman met
the newspaper man whom he under-
stood to be the author of We first squib
in the wafter.
"You did me a great service," smil-
ingly said the representative to the
correspondent, . "All the prohibitionists
are taking my .wife's view of my ig-
norance, and all the 'antis' are insist-
ing that I'm a devil of a gooel fellow
for imposing so successfully on my
wife. It works in my behalf which-
ever way you take It." - Saturday

A DYED BEARD,
It Probably Changed the History of
the Whole, Unman Rare,
The most, striking MA in history of
the importance .Af tcliss is furnished
by the story of Mltrt,iader of the
Moslem host which won from Christen-
dom in three and+a hall years domin-
ions which it took the soldiers of the
cross twenty generations to win back.
Ho bad a red beard, This was a trifle.
Musa, though a very great general,
was a very vaiu man, and he dyed his
beard black. This was another trifle.
One of his Captains chuffed him on the
subject, and Musa forthwith had him
stripped and scourged. For this, at
the very height of his conquering ca-
reer, Musa was recalled by the caliph
and disgraced. This made it impos-
sible for him to command the Moslem
army at the battle of Tours, on the Is-
sue of which, as all historians agree,
the destinies of Europe and perhaps of
the whole human race depended.
It is almost certain that if the genius 1
of Musa had replaced the incompetence t

dissensions made victory impossible g
the forces of Islam would have joined
hands from the west to the east and
inclosed Europe in their grasp. -Lon-

Marcia Gordon was sixteen years old
when the Spanish-American war broke
out, anti a more ardeut little patriot
did not live in Huntersville. It was
natural that she should love her coun-
try. Her father and grandfather had
fought for the Union in the dill war,
and on the bright April morning in
1898, when the Huntersville rifles
marched away to join the balance of
the regiment at the state rendezvous,
her brother, scarce three ye re her
senior, was in its ranks. Furt ore.
Boyd McCarron a'so wore blue
and as first duty sergeant stepped off
blithely at the head of the sturdy col-
umn of fours.
Mct'arron and Marcia had been
friends and comrades all their lives.
Their mutual liking was trembling on
the verge of something deeper and
more enduring when the declaration of
war swept the young man away to
the camp where the state troops were
- fitted for the coming campaign.
McCarron, who had been clerk In
Brown's •clothing store, was a fine,
manly young fellow and a uatural sol-
dier. He liked the pomp and circum-
stance of war, the drilling, the music,
the thrilling pause at "retreat," when
every bead was bared in reverence
while the colors were slowly lowered
and the band swung into "The Star
Spangled Banner." He liked the stir-
ring notes of "reveille" and the un-
conscious pathos of "taps," which
made one think of home and of his
prayers. lie rtjotcecl that he was in
this brave, gay world of tents and of
it. He thought of Marcia often, with
a tilting of the pulses. The air cas-
tles which he sometimes constructed
were always built for two, and the cor-
nerstone of the editice was always
"after the war."
But McCarron was destined never to
see Cuba. The rifles had been at the
rendezvous two mouths, arming, equip-
ping and drilling for actual service.
The day the regiment was to take the
oath as soldiers of the United States,
"to serve for two years unless sooner
discharged." he received a telegram an-
nouncing that his father, a railway
conductor, had been killed in a wreck.

scarcely less poignant that he must
give up his place in the ranks.
His mother and himself were now ab-
solutely aloue in the world. Her health
was not strong. Their little home was
mortgaged. Inclination pointed ,one
- way, duty the other, and duty won. At
the very hour the Huntersville rifles
took the oath McCarron, though with
them in spirit, stepped from the train

A few persons understood and ad-
mired him for the course, so eloquent of
moral courage. which be had adopted,
Their approbation did not counterbal-
ance the sneers of many who regarded
the young man as a coward. Brown,
proprietor of the store, was a sensible
man. Hysteria did not pass as patriot-
ism with him. Despite the clamoring
of those who insisted that McCarron
for running away from the enemy's
bullets should be driven from town be

The cloud in time passed. Saner
judgment convinced most persons they
were wrong In branding McCarron Be a
poltroon. When the company, sadly
decimated, returned from Cuba after
the war the soldiers had nothing but
good words for the man who had been
their comrade. Gradually he won back
his old place in the affection and es-
teem of his townsmen. He bad with-

Marcia Gordon found in her erstwhile

solve. The high spirited girl abhorred

find what he sought for, for his face

steadily on a certain chord. A moan
went through the bridge. Faster play-
ed the old man, and the wire cables
fairly sang In response to the wild
notes of the fiddle. Furiously the old
fiddle scraped away, and the cables be-

as the keynote sounded on the violin.
The bridge began to tremble, then to

Great Grief and Head Shaving.
Among the ancients shaving the head
was a very common mode of express-
ing great grief or sorrow. Sometimes
It was done by the priest or some other
religioag functionary formally cutting
off the Bair, sometimes by violently
plucking It out by the roots. In ex-
treme cases among men the beard as
well as the balr was either cut off or
pltieked out. The idea seems to have
been that mourners should divest them-
selves of that which under ordinary cir-
cumstances was considered most beau-
tiful, ornamental and becoming. Lu -
clan (and he is not the only one who
gives points on this queer mourning
custom) says that the Egyptians ex-
pressed their Intense sorrow by cutting
off the hair upon the death of their god
Apis and that the Syrians acted In the
same manner at the death of Adonis.
Olymp'adorus.remarks concerning Job

long hair was regarded as an ornament

If a cake falls In the center the open-

Snowshoes For Marshes,
The largest extent of marsh land in
the world is to be found In the low-
lands which form part of the steppe of
Barabn, between the rivers Intish and
Obl, lu Asiatic Russia. The region is
flat and covered with forests, salt lakes
and quivering marshes, extending over
an area which Is not less than 100,000
square miles. During the summer
dense clouds of mosquitoes float over
the treacherous Brous ground. Immense areas
of these dreaded urmans have never ,
been visited by man. The marshes,
treacherously concealed under a sway-
ing layer of grassy vegetation, can only
be crossed by means of a kind of snow-
shoe iu winter except at the peril of
one's life.
The Druakard'a Cloak.
In the time of the commonwealth to
England the magistrates of Newcastle-
upon-Tyne punished drunkards by
making them carry a tub called the
drunkard's cloak. This tub was worn
bottom upward, there being a bole at
the bottom for the head and two small-
er boles In the sides for the bands to
pass through, and thus ridiculously at-
tired the delinquent was made to walk
through the streets of the town for as
long a time as the magistrates thought
proper to order, according to the gross.
ness of the offense.
Hops In Eeglard.
The English were taught the uses of
hops by a native Artois, who intro-
duced them Into England in 1524. They
met with some hostility, for physicians
represented them as unwholesome, and
parliament was petitioned against them
as a "wicked weed," In 1528 their use
was prohibited under severe penalties.
Henry VrIII. appears to have.been prep
udicej against bops, for In a manu-
Script, dated Eltham, January, 1530, oc-
curs an injunction to his brewer "not to
put hops or brimstone" into the ale.

TWO SCOTCH STORIES.
Origin of the ltaelntyree and the
Moody Hand Legend.
My father, suis a writer in Black -
wood's J:agazha', haid no end of anec-
dotes about our apeestors, parts of •
which I remember, though I was only a
schoolroom child of under fourteen
when I beard him relating them. I
was, however, old enough to feel keen-
ly interested lu then'. nue story that
impressed ate very much was related
to account for the origin of the Clan
Macintyre, A party of Macdonells on
one occasion were out 1n a boat when
a knot of wood sprang out, causing a
serious leak, whereupon one of the par-
ty stuck In his finger to fill the hole
and then cut It off with his dirk, thus
saving the life of the whole party.
From this circumstance his descend-
ants
were called the Maciutyres, or
sons of the carpenter.
Another story which I heard my fa-
ther tell relates to the bloody handl
whlch appears In our coat of arms. A ! e
doubt having .r'at'a as to which of two
broihere a certain estate belonged, it
was agreed that be whose flesh and
blood should first touch the property
was to be regarded as the rightful own-
er. Accordingly the two young men
alerted in two boats for the land in
q estion, One of them, seeing that be e
was losing tate race, when near the a
shore pullet) out his dirk, cut off Ida
band and threw It on land, thus estab•
fishing his right to the property, as his
flesh and blood had touched It flrst.

a SLAVERY IN ENGLAND.
lta 1775 it %as 'Flint the Courts De.
Blared it to Ile lllegal-
In 171'2 slavery was declared by the
judges to be contrary to the law of
England. But during the years im-
mediately preceding this date slaves
were commonly sold ha England. In
the previous year a Illrmlugham paper
advertised for stile "a negro boy,
sound, healthy and of mild dlsposi-
tion," while lu the same year another
paper records (111111 condemns) the sale
a short time previously at Richmond
of a negro boy for 1::12. This is be-
lieved to have been the last actual sale
of a slave that took plaice In England.
White slavery was very common in
the English colonies in the seventeenth
century. Cromwell seized Irish boys,
girls and women "by the thousand"
and "sold them In the slave markets
of Barbados," an may he seen in num-
berless places In the state papers of the
period. He treated some of his royalist
opponents in England and Scotland in
the same way. A similar fate befell
many of the supporters of Monmouth's
rebellion in the west of England. In
the latter case, as Macaulay tells us,
the ladies of the court, including the
queen, made large profits on the sales.

IRVING TODD SON.
SAT URDAY FEBRUARY lith. 1900.
Mutt It Means.
The village of Farmington has
given notice of its intention to make
a fight for the county seat, and
petitious are now being circulated
throughout the county askiog that a
special election be held to vote upon
this question.
It is only fair that the taxpayers
of Dakota County act in this matter
,with their eyes open and a clear un-
derstanding of the issue involved.
The taxpayers have to pay the bills,
s therefore they. have the right to know
what they are paying for.
That the matter may be clearly
understood it is explained in detail
herewith.
In order to have a special election
held for the purpose of voting on the
removal of the county seat, it is ne-
cessary that sixty per cent of the
voters of the county sign a petition
asking for such an election.
If the requisite number of signers
are secured and an election held, then
it is necessary that fifty-five per cent
of the total vote be in favor of the
removal in order to render it effective
At the present time the signing of
the petitions is the main thing to
consider.
The Farmington people will circu-
late these petitions in every precinct
of the county asking for signatures.
People are very apt to sign petitions
without giving any thought or at-
tention to what they are doing, and
merely to accommodate those who
present them.
Right here this point should be re-
membered. It will cost neatly $3,000
to hold this election. There are two
thousand, nine hundred, and sixty-one
taxpayers in Dakota County. There-
fore if this special election should be
held -it will cost an average of $1 for
every taxpayer in Dakota County.
So, Mr. Taxpayer, remember that
if you sign this petition you may be
called on to pay $1 or more just for
the privilege of having your name
upon the Farmington paper.
When the Farmington folks ask
you to sign this petition, "just to be
a good fellow,- remember that it will
cost Dakota County $3,000 if it ever
becomes effective.
If you are not willing to tax the
county $3,000 for this special election,
do not sign this petition.
Now, as to the main proposition
itself.
Every taxpayer must ask himself
if he is in favor of building a new
courthouSe in Dakota County.
If this special election should be
held, and Farmington should succeed
in swinning the county seat, what
would be the first result?
A new courthouse, jail, and sheriff's
residence would have to be built in
the village of Farmington. It would
cost $200,000 to build them. Interest
at five per cent for twenty years would
raise the final cost of the new build-
ings to $400,000.
The taxpayers of Dakota County
would have to shoulder this indebted-
ness of $400,000.
This means an average of $135 for
every taxpayer in the county.
Every man who votes to remove
the county seat to Farmington is vot-
ing to tax himself $135..
The total valuation of Dakota
County for 1905 was $8,805,477.
The total assessed valuation of the
village of Farmington was $235.465
In other words, Farmington village
pays less than three -per cent of the
total taxes of the county. If a new
courthouse were built at Farmington,
the people of Farmington would have
to staed but $11,000 of the expense,
while the taxpayers in the rest of the
county would have to pay $390,000,
or thirty-three times as much.
In other words Farmington is in-
viting the taxpayers of Dakota County
to give them a courthouse for which
they will pay less than three per cent
of the total cost.
.. The people of Farmington ask the
taxpayers of Dakota County to go
down into their pockets for Over a
third of a million dollars.
Why? Mefely to satisfy the am-
bition of a few people in that village.
The taxpayers do not care for Hast-
ings or Farmington. They can get
along without either of them. But
the taxpayers do care very much
about the money which will be taken
out of their pockets to meet the un-
necessary expense. When you ask a
man to go down into his pockets for
*135 he will want to know what he
is going to receive in return for his
money.
The only thing he gets in return
for his $135 is the right to go over to
Farmington and look at the court-
house which coat the county nearly
half a million dollars.
Why anytaxpayer be asked
to give 6135 in hard cash to the vil-
lage of Farmington when it will not
do him ten cents worth of good in his
lifetime?
Why does Farmington ask the ii-
moval of the county seat? Simply
because they want to build a beautiful
courthouse in that village.
They give no reasons which will
appeal to the good business rime of
any taxpayer.
As an excuse for a reason, they do
say that Farmington is nearer the
centre of the county than Hastings.
So it is, by nearly a mile.
How often does the average citizen
have to visit the courthouse in the
course of a year? There is not a
man in the county who is under any
great hardship at the preseut time
because of the fact that the court-
house is in Hastings and not in
Farmington.
The courthouse is used mostly by
lawyers and real estate men. Eighty
per cent of the taxpayers of the
county do not go to the courthouse
once a year. Why should this great
majority who do not need the court
house buy a new one for a handful of
people who do need one, but who can
use it just as well at Hastings as at
Farmington?
Here is another thing to think
about. The present buildings are
worth $165,000 at least. If the
county seat is moved to Farmington,
this valuable property would be
rendered useless and worthless. It
would lie idle, and the county could
derive no revenue from it.
Mr. Taxpayer, does it strike you as
good business policy to throw away
$165,000, or to allow that amount of
property to lie idle and' decay?
The new courthouse would cost
close to $400,000. The loss of the
present property, worth $165,000,
would in reality make the total cost to
the county over a half a million
dollars.
Are you ready, Mr. Taxpayer, to
give half a million dollars to the
village of Farmington.
At the present time are several
thriving little villages in Dakota
County. They have fine prospects
for future development. Hastings
does not in any way interfere with
them. Hastings does not take any
money from Lakeville or Rosemount
or Hampton. Their business is
largely drawn from the territory
adjacent to Farmington.
The removal of the courthouse to
Farmington would take practically no
trade from Flastings. It would take
business away from Lakeville,
Rosemount, and Hampton.
The growth of Farmington is at
the expense of the smaller villages in
the county.
Now these facts are so clear that
no one will dispute them. The issue
is up to the taxpayer.
It is not Hastings against Farming-
ton. It is Farmington against the
taxpayers.
In the Farmington meeting at
South St. Paul not one of the speak-
ers had a word to say about their
giving $25,000 toward a new court-
house. That bluff is all right in its
place, but they know it is only a bluff,
and they dare not state it as a fact
in a public assemblage. They know
first of all that Farmington cannot
bond itself for $25,000 to help build
a courthouse. They know in the
second place that even if they could
they would not. No one has the
right to promise any such contribu-
tion until the people of Farmington
have voted upon the question. They
cannot and never will do this. In
the third place, as Ananias Herric
jt
admits, they would be foolish to ve
825,000 after they have the county
seat located there. This alleged as-
set bas accordingly been dropped
from their balance sheet.
A Washington dispatch of the
13th says that the Hustings Malting
Company has filed two complaints
against the hlilwaukee Road with the
interstate commerce company, alleg-
ing that the rates on coal from Supe-
rior are unjust and unreasonable, and
that shipments of grain from our
town are discriminated against in
favor ot St. Paul and Itlinneapolis
dealers.
Ananias Henrick, in giving the
cost of a certain courthouse in this
state, dropped 6100,000 from the
actual amount. He says that this
was a mistake. His guess of
$100,000 for a new courthouse in
Dakota County is another mistake of
about 6100,000.
A Bird Island dispatch says that
John Wadenspanned, an old settler,
died on the 9tb, aged eighty-four
years, and that he formerly lived in
Hastings. No one here seems to
remember him.

Is not 843 20 a very small amount to

C. P. Carpenter's personal property
iu Eureka is assessed upon a valua-
tion of 8159, and the 1905 tax is
82.62. What a valuable amount of
stock, machinery, and improvements
it must require to run a 810,000 farm.
Ananias Herrick, while in this city
on Tuesday, gave the names of five
prominent residents of Hampton who
were "hustling for Farmington."
Every one et these men declares that
he is against the Farmington game.
Ananias is fooling the good people of
his own town.
Remember this fact, Mr. Voter,
only one petition can be circulated at
this time, the one in favor of Farm-
ington. Don't sign a petition which
pretends to be for South St. Paul or
Rosemount. Your name may turn

list.
Beelzebub Carpenter said that "a
person can go to Farmington three
times a day" from St. Paul. Ile will
have to search the world Mud a
man who wants to go to Farafngton
three times in one day, or one time hi
three days, if he can get out of it.
A South St. Paul men asked Ana-
nias Herriek how he felt. -Fine,"
said Ananias. -I've gained ten

-Well,- replied the other felloiv,
"That's the first Farmington gain I've

every visitor. Illustrated catalogues lice upon request. '

A man is always poor who spends his last dollar as soon as he
makes it, or who lets his dollar go without narking it work for
him. Why don't you start to get rich Open an account with -
ua for any amount you wish; then week by week add to this
account; each dollar will be working for you making Interest if
left on time for which we issue certificates bearing three per
cent. interest. What these dollars make for you, added to what
you save each day, ought to make you rich.

Loud Protests from Taxpayers right in the Heart
of the Enemy's Country.
The following are samples of the let-
ters and remonstrances that are being
received in opposition to the proposed
removal of the county seat to Farming-
ton and the erection of unnecessary new
buildings:
It means a big tax on us if the conrt-
house is moved. Taxes are high enough
already. A. F. Orro,
Hampton.
I am opposed to moving the county
seat to Farmington. It means more
taxes. J. F. HORN.
Hampton.
Our taxes are high euough now. I
don't care to increase mine by helping to
move the county seat.
J. P. ScHwEIt'H,
Hampton.
I am sincerely opposed to the removal
intivtu Farmington or any
other place, or the bnilding of a new one
for many years, as I believe it is plenty
good enough for anybody.
DENNI4 G. BARTLETT,
Hampton.
I will never vote to put a burden on
the taxpayers by building a new court-
house at Farmington. J. F. WILLE,
Hamptou.
I am opposed to the building of a new
courthouse at Farmington, or anywhere
else. We do not need a new one.
.Tt'LIUs t4isOs.

We have a good con rthouse now. Why
should we throw it away and build a new
one? That is not good business.
A. C. OrrE,

I think our present courthouse is good
enough. - F. KocH,
Randolph.
1 am against the proposed removal of
the county seat to Farmington. It is
poor business. C. L. MORRILL,
Randolph.
Why ehonld I tax myself just to give
Farmington a courthouse, when we don't
need a new one? W. P. PETER,
Randolph.
One courthouse at a time is enough
for Dakota County. I am opposed to
building a new one when we have a
good one which fulfills all purposes.
L. R. MILLER,
RANDOLPH.
It is not good business to throw away
a good conrthouse just to build a new
one. I am against it.
Cn.s. F. DicxxaN,
Randolph.
Taxes in Dakota County are high
enough now. To build a new courthouse
would increase them. I am against the
whole thing. W. W. OrrE,
Randolph.
Courthouses cost money, and I don't
want a new one built when it is not
needed. E. F. Gaszs,
Randolph.
I am opposed to putting my hand in
my pocket just to help Farmington.
THOMAS OBEBDoaF,

naturally op' oso this county seat scheme.
It would cost too much alone •,

A Sunday Wreck.
A head on collision took place
Sunday uzorning at the switch beneath
the Kelnhoffer trestle between the
fast mail No. 57, in charge of Con.
Paul Upton, Pat. Doyle engineer,
coming west, turd the second section
of freight No.6,6, in charge of Con.
P. 11. Wheeler, Dell Harris engineer,
going east, both engines, Nos. 903
and 178, being badly damaged and
the express car telescoped by the
tender and completely ruined. Two
or three. of the freight cars loaded
-with grain and merchandise were
likewise smashed. In the express
ear a lot of millinery goods and
through packages were destroyed. It
appears that the freight was passing
from the side track to the mainline,
when the mail came around:the curve
and met it, the semaphore signal, it is
said, being disregarded. Fortunately
no one was hurt, both crews saving
themselves by jumping. A wrecking
train in,eharge of Con.N. R. Martin,
Harvey Reed, engineer, ' was sent
down from Minneapolis to pull the
engines apart and clear the debris,
and an extra gang of section men
from Red Wing and Etter. The
passenger trains were run over the
Burlington Road, the track not being
cleared until five p. in. The wreck
proved quite an attraction, being
viewed by a great number ofi our,
people during the day. It was the
worst one that has occurred here for
years.
Theopeople o d
g p pie of Lakeland are
becoming awake to the fact that
the abandonment of passenger trains
by the Milwaukee Road between
Hastings and Stillwater, is a body
blow to their interests, and that in
order to be kept on thermap it is high-
ly important that they move in the
matter at once. Oar correspondent
from that place informs us that a
mass meeting of citizens of that place
and vicinity will be held on Monday
evening next, upon which occasion a
representative of the railway commis-
sion is expected to be present and
talk over the situation. From him it
is understood that a faller and more
complete understanding of the rights
of the people will be made clear. It
is hoped that arrangements satisfac-
tory can be made whereby the com-
pany will restore the former service
of two trains a day each way, carry-
ing, not only passengers, but the mail
as well.—Stilltoater 'Gazette.
A Healing Gospel.
The Rev. J. G. Warren, ,pastor of
Sharon Baptist Church, Betair, Ga., says
of Electric Bitters: "It's a godsend to
mankind. It cured me of lame back,
stiff joints, and complete physical col-
lapse. i was so weak It took me half an
hour to walk a mile. Two bottles of
Electric Bitters have made me so strong
I have just walked three miles in fifty
minutes and feel like walking three more.
It's made a new Man of me." Greatest

IS IT WORTH THE COST?
What a County Seat Fight Really
(leans to the Whole People.
It Will Take Years to Recover From
the Bitterness it Engenders.
A county seat fight, regardless of
the conditions surrounding it, is
greatly to be dreaded by every one
except the moat ' violent partisans.
Nothing is more 'disastrous to a com-
munity in the long run. It strikes
at the very root of its prosperity.
Any county unfortunate enough to
have gone through one of these cam-
paigns will bear witness to its de-
moralizing effects. Dakota County
is now having its fourth experience
along these lines.
It arrays two factions against each
other, and the longer the contest lasts
the more enduring are the hatreds
and animosities inevitably stirred up.
Where ouce was peace and harmony,
all becomes bitterness and contention.
A prosperous and happy people are
arrayed in two hostile camps; aban-
don their efforts for mutual aggran-
dizement, and turn their misdirected
energies into an effort todiscredit and
defeat each other. Long time friends
become sworn enemies, and spring at
each other's throats in deadly hatred.
Think what this eame energy might
accomplish if directed toward the
general good.
If the fight is allowed to reach an
advanced stage no compromise is
possible. It eventually is brought to
the courts and dragged out for
years and years, adding fuel to the
flames that are consuming the energies
of the contestants.
Outsiders, under these circumstan-
ces, steer clear of the county. Money
that would naturally be invested goea
elsewhere, suspicious of a locality in
which such turmoil 'exists. People
do not care to make their homes
where they must become involved in
a sectional quarrel. So the entire
county suffers.
Tho county also suffers in matters
of legislation, because it does not pre-
sent a solid front in seeking the
things it should have.
The fight is dragged through every
succeeding political campaign, and
honest, deserving men are sacrificed
to a senseless hatred.
Money is poured out like water,
until prosperous towns are drained of
their resources, at a coat of several
new courthouses. And what comes
of it? Only a heritage of wrath.
Renville County had a county seat
fight lasting over twenty years, in
which half a million dollars were
spent by the interested communities.
Olivia, which finally. won out, would
not go through that struggle again
for a donation of $100,000. It has
the courtl(onse, it is true, bat it is
not worth $1,000 a year to its citizens.
Money cannot pay for tbe havoc
wrought by one of these contests. A
county seat fight lasting five years
will result in a total loss to tbe coun-
ty of nearly a million dollars. Is It
worth such a price? No sane man
can contemplate the situation and
pronounce it a good thing. . It is
suicide, politically, socially, and
financially.

An extra freight in the Burlington

morning, caused by the arch beam of

The fur traThede oEu,' f Kurth Awerlea has
always been largely conducted on the
prluelple of barter, writes Duncan
MacArthur' in the New England Mag-
azine. The transactions with the In-
dians are carried on In a very simple
manner. When n hunter brings 1n his
collection of furs to any trading post,
wblcit be usually`tioge twice a sear, In
October and Merch( to taken to the
trading room, ereIre official in
charge careful ►] exam ee, classifies
and values each skin, and when the
whole pack is gone over ho hands the
, Indian a number of tallies, or small
pieces of wood or metal, each repre-
senting the value of a "made beaver,"
and the whole representing the value
of the entire catch. The Indian then
proceeds to the storeroom and selects
such articles as he requires—blankets,
capots, gens, knives. tea, tobacco, etc.—
In payment for which he bands back
his tallies until they are all gone and
hispurchasing powers aro exhausted.
Ile then departs, another bunter takes
his place and 1s dealt with lu a similar
manner, and so on until alt the furs
In possession of the whole band of In-
dians have passed tato the hands of the
trader. Formerly it was customary to
give a good bunter a "dram" and some
small presents In appreciation of his
industry.
There Is more catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together, end
until the last few years was supposed to be In-
curable. For a great mony years doctors pro -
flounced It a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies and by constantly felling to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science ha. proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitutlounl
treatment. Hall's Cnturrh Core manufactured

Burned to Death.
A telephone message, received on
Wednesday announced the death of
Mrs. John Johnson, of Neretrand, by
an explosion. Mier Jennie Weber was
born in Hampton, aged thirty-five
years, and was married to Mr. .jobn-
son in St. Paul about a .year ago.
She was a sister of Mrs. Theodore
Schubert, Mre. Jacob Mamer, and
Miss* Kate Weber, and was well
known in this city. Her many friends
here are gregtly grieved over the
untimely death.
We are a little inclined to the be-
lief that considerable of the warm
weather we have bad for a few days
is due to the warm agitation that is
on in Dakota County over the removal

The Women of Egypt.
It is difficult for English speaking
women to realize the blankness of
mind resulting fretnt the seclusion of
woweu in Egypt. It le true of most
that they have never even seen a book
and rarely an Arable newspaper. Prac-
tically none eau read. They have not
even picture booke, Anything like seri-
ous conversation Is unknown. They
can talk about their babies or their
trinkets, but nothing else. Their needle-
work is mechanical embroidery. They
cannot make their own clothes. They
know nothing of what is passing in the
outer world, nor fie they even realize
that there is an outer world. In the
country the peasant women are not se-
cluded. They are acquainted with the
ordinary operations of agriculture, but
In *the towns they know nothing of
this. They have uo idea or wish to
know where a potato comes from or
how it grows.
Drying the Hair.
More important perhaps than the
washing is the drying of the hair.
This should -be done with warm, soft
towels. Never use Turkish towels, as
they are very apt to tangle the hair
and catch It In their meshes, thus pull-
ing it out They are more apt also to
leave lint on the hair than are towels
with a smooth surface. Always dry
your hair, if possible, In the sun, as
this gives a gloss and sheen that can
be obtained In no other wny. Let the
direct rays shine upon it and never
put it up until It is as dry as before
you wafted it. 10 aping the hair it is
well to grasp it by the ends and
shake it, as h► this way the moisture

h'iahermen have queer customs. A
few years ago the fishermen of Pres-

might catch no fish. And they did not.
But they found out how to make his
prayers of no avail. The fishermen
used to make a little effigy of the par.

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 24th , 1906.
The County Jail.
The jail in this city, and the only
one ever owned by Dakota County,
was built in 1869/10, together with
the sheriff's house adjoining, at a must
-of $25,000, not including interest on
bonds. It is a substantial stone
structure, but illy planned, poorly
lighted and ventilated, and would not
hold an experienced and desperate
criminal twenty-four hours unless he
was kept in irons. The house is of
brick. There was then no drainage,
heating plant, or water, these necessi-
ties haling been added at a compara-
tively recent date. Both buildings
are in better shape and more comfort-
able to -day than when first occupied.
The movement to build a new jail
originated entirely with the county
hoard, and was practically unanimous.
It'had been so repeatedly contlemned
by grand juries during the past twen-
ty years, and later by the state board
of control, that the individual mem-
bers were firmly convinced that some-
thing- must be done at once to relieve
the situation. The people of Hast-
ings took very little interest in the
matter, and very few were aware of
this action until they read the publish-
ed proceedings. Even then the senti-
went was divided, a considerable pro-
portion of our taxpayers insisting
that the present jail was good enough
for the class of inmates that are being
fed and lodged there during the win-
ter months, the scum of the twin
cities. They certainly have no desire
to break out, but only to get back
again_ at the expiration of their
sentences.
Last July, after deciding to build,
the board proceded to make its esti-
mate and tax levy for the ensuing
year. The expenses of the county
for 1906 were footed up at $10,000
and the new jail at $25,000, snaking
a total of $65,000, from which They
d ?ducted the $15.000 surplus on hand
Jan. lst. 'Their levy accordingly was
$50,000, including $5,500 for the sup-
port of the poor, and 82,000 for the
road and bridge fund. The addi-
- tional cost to the taxpayers had the
building been actually commenced
would only have been $10,000, owing
to the $15,000 cash on hand. But
the members could not agree upon
pins: •seteral meetings were held
without arriving at any conclusion,
and in January last there was a tie,
two against two, with one commis-
sioner declining to vote. A resolu-
tion of the board of control, passed
Dec. 18th, 19')5, and condemning
the jail, was submitted by Judge F.
M. Crosby, who suggested that patent
ventilators be introduced as an ex-
periment. They were accordingly
ordered on trial, and have now been
in about two weeks, appearing to give
very good satisfaction. Their cost is
only $30. The question of two or
three more windows and the strength-
ening of the ceiling, through- which
the numerous escapes had been made,
is yet to be taken up. The resolution
of the board of control above referred
to was returned by Judge Crosby on
the 14th inst. without his approval.
He is of the opinion that with
a few inexpensive alterations the
existing building can be made entirely
adequate and servicai)le for many
Years to come. Why then should the
people of this county be taxed to
build a new jail, either at Hastings
or Farmington? A jail and sheriff's
house could not be completed, at
.existing prices of labor and material,
for less than $40,000, nor a court-
house as good as the one we already
hive with its sewer, heating, lighting,
and water works for less than
$165,000, to say nothing of doubling
these amounts in paying interest on
long time bonds. Are the taxpayers
willing to burden themselves in this
uncalled for manner just to stimulate
a small real estate boom in a still
smaller village?
If the board finally concludes not
to build a new jail there will be an
estimated surplus at the end of the
year of 826,318.40, which can be
applied to the reduction of our taxes,
instead of unnecessarily increasing
them for something which no one
really peeds and would be far better
off without, --financially and every
other way.
In remitting $1 for The Gazette
another year, a prominent resident of
Hampton adds, "Hurrah, hurrah, for
Hastings." A large majority of the
taxpayers of that town, although in
the alleged Farmington group, appear
to. feel the same way.
The annual report of the Northern
Pacific Road for 1905 shows an in-
crease of nearly a million dollars: in
Mintesota earnings, with an addition
of over $150,000 to its state taxes.
\•
A Very Clave Onus -
The estimates of the county board
for the ensuing year, together -with
the tax levy for necessary expenses,
are made in July, almost nix months
in advance. To show how nearly our
commissioners came to actual results
in 1904 the following balances are
reproduoed from the last financial
statement:
Revenue fund, Jan. 1st, 111i,..$15.095.13
Revenue fund, Jan. 2d, 1 1 ... 15,086.63
Gain during the year $ 28.56
The only real surplus of the past
year's transactions, so far as the
revenue fund is concerned, is the
above amount of $28.50.
What business man can look over
his books in July and make a closer
calculation of his receipts and ex-
penditures for the coming year? .
In 1899 Gov. Lind appointed Dr.
William Mayo, of Rochester, J. C.
Wise, of Mankato, and J. B. Mason,
of St. Peter, as delegates to the con-
vention which selected St. Louis as
the place for holding the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition. The board of
managers have just forwarded large
bronze medals to the members in at-
tendance, but Dr. Mayo is now the
only survivorm Minnesota.
The trial balance of the county
auditor, made Jan. 31st, 1906, shows
that the county had 815,035.25 cash
on hand at that date. These figures
are official, and can be verified by
any one. Where then is that myste-
rious surplus of $40,000, said by the
Farmington gang to be available for
new buildings?
• Israel is steering clear of Hastings
since his article upon the- sheriff's
pets appeared in The Minneapolis
Journal. It is needless to remark
that if he had been within reach the
next morning the sheriff would have
made a monkey of him in short order.
The board of control is having
great trouble in locating a site for
the contemplated new prison at Still-
water, owing to the high prices asked
for the necessary land. It appears
to be a repetition of the state capital
graft upon a smaller scale.

This is official, signed by the
commissioners, and attested by the
county auditor.
The Northfield Independent, whose
editor is primarily responsible forour
existing bitter and uncalled for county
seat contest, says that, according to
the above statement, there is now a
surplus in the treasury' of $40,000
available.for new buildings.
Now let us do a little figuring for
The ' Independent. The statement
shows that all estimated cash of
every descriptiou that the county will
some day collect is $77,190.65 It
also shows, according to the estimate
of the county board, that the excess
of the resources over the liabilities is
$9,585.13. This, and any fair minded
person can reason it out for himself,
is what the county would have on
hand .lan. lst, 1907, if all the current
and delinquent taxes were paid in full
during the present year.
The first three items of the re-
sources are cash, amounting to
119,818.40. The next, $50,379.40,
is a credit, what the county will get
in time. According to lust year's
collections it will receive in 1906
about six -sevenths of this amount, or
$13,20-0. The next— iiein " $4,992 85,
is also a credit, from which it will
probably realize is 1906 about 83.000
From the last item, $2,000, also a
credit, it will probably realize in 1906
about $300. Title shows the actual
cash to be received this year for
county purposes as, follows:
On hand, Jan 1st, 1906 $19.818.40
From current taxes 43,200.00
From delinquent taxes, 190.13,000.00
From old back taxes 300.00
Estimated cash receipts $66,818.40

expend the contemplated $25,000 for
Consumption
Q There is no specific' for
consumption. Fresh air, ex-
ercise, nourishing food and
. Scott's Emulsion will come
pretty near cur•ing it, if there
is anything to build on. Mil-
lions of .:.. a throughout the
world are ' : and in good
health on one lung.
Q From time immemorial the
doctors prescribed cod liver
oil for consumption. Of
course the patient could not

and tolerate it for a long
time. There is no oil, not
excepting butter, so easily
digested and absorbed by the
system as cod liver oil in the
form of Scott's Emulsion,
and that is the reason -it is so
helpful in consumption where
its use must be continuous.

A conservative estimate of .th
actual cash that will be received in
1906 for the use of the county is
166,318 40, including the 119,818.40
On hand Jan. let. .The cost of run-
ning the county in 1904 (election year)
was exactly 140,485.57, and the esti-
mate of the county board for 1906
(another election year), was 140,000.
It is safe to say that the expenses
will amount 10 this sum. The balanoe
sheet for 1906 would therefore stand
as follows:
Cash receipts $66.318.40
Cash paid out. without Jail40,000.00
•
Balance, Jan. 1st, 1007 $26.818.40
The Independent also says that
165,000 was levied for the expenses
of the county in 1906 from the revenue
fund. Tltia is not so. Only 150,000
was levied for the entire expenses of
the county, including the jail, and
17,500 of this was for the poor and
read and bridge funds. After mak-
ing its estimate in July, 1905, the
board subtracted 815,000 of the sur-
plus 'on band Jan. 2d from the
165,000 found to be required during
the ensuing year, their tax levy being
as follows:
Revenue fund ....$42,500
Peer fund" 5.500-
Road and bridge hind -., 2.000
Total . .150,000
These figures are taken from the
official ...proceedings of the county
board, signed by the chairman and
attested by the county auditor.
The Independent says:thatthe levy
forthe revenue fund was $65,000.
It was only $42,500, a mistatement
of $22,500. There are several other
items to which it never refers, unpaid
salaries, 1100: unpaid claims,
1$505.52; and hood and interest,be-
coining due in July, 15,400. Every-
thing is surplus with its editor, even
the unpaid look accounts. Just add
these amounts together:
Revenue levy overstated $22.500.00
Salaries unpaid. Jan. 1st. 100.00
Claims uupxid, Jan. 1st 2.505.52
Hoed and telete'at due in July- 5,400.00
Total. $0.505.52
This makes a very large. hole in
that terrible surplus of $10,000 avail•
able for stew buildings.
Upon inquiry it was found that the
iutebtion of the board was to have
ent+ugh money on band at the end of
the )ear 19011 to carry the county
through January, February, and
March, 1907, until the first diatribu-
tirifn of tsxett tiV the county treaanrer.
This is 'only nnitnary business pru-
dence, as otherwise the orders issued
duriug these three months could not
be Bashed upon presentation, obliging
the county to pay interest just as our
city and board of education have
erroneously been doing for year's.
Get a copy of the last financial
statement and do a little figuring for
yourself. This is easily done, and
then you will have to take no one's
word for the result. ,
The story that our county board is
boarding up 140,000 - without the
knowledge of anybody is one of the
moat absurd ever sprung upon an
unsuspecting community, yet some of
the Farmington ehriekers have re-
peated it so often that they actually
believe it themselves.

Music In the high School. -
An intereating feature of the high
school music work for the past few
weeks has.. been the short talks on
the lives and works of the great tom-
poeers. These are given- by the
students, and greatly help the ap
predation of the music studied.
Last week, at entre Chapin's invitation,
the high school Sent a delegate as
her guest at the Doluietech concert in
St. Paul. Clifton Benjamin was the
representative chosen, and on Tiles
day gave an entertaining report to the
school. He described, illustrating
with drawings, the old fashioned in
strnments used, and gave an account
of the attractive eighteenth century
costumes worn by the performers
Hitherto the hearers bud often thought
Bach and Handel and Hayden were
to be pitied for never having known
the piano, but this concert left them
with the idea that we of the twentieth
century aro the losers. Much of the
music written for instruments in use
at that period is unfitted for our
modern instruments, and we are
deprlyed of some of our rights in
discarding the harpsichord and
clavichord. with the peculiar soft,
idealistic beauty of their music.

Our •'tri" in Which He Wan Sar.
passed by n Porter.
Rather :1 I a1 story is told about
Professor 11ux:ey when he was deliv-
ering a lemur,. to the Literary and
Philosophical so.•iety, Newcastle -on -
Tyne. The subject was ••'l'be Geo-
graphical itist•ibutiou of Fossil Re-
mains of •cuiuuih;" consequently nu-
uterous (li;t„r:!las were required. Old
Alexander, tine porter of the Institution
ami quite a distinguished character
among the members of the society,
wits assisting the professor to bang
the diagrams. The screen ou which
the diagrams were hung was not very
large, and Huxley, do as be would,
could nut prevent the blank corner of
one diagram overlapping the illustra-
tion of another one on which the pro-
fessor placed great lmportauce.
What was to be done? The process-
or asked Alexander to bring a pair of
scissors. Lord Armstrong (then Sir
Williams, Dr. Watson and several oth-
ers were present at the time. The
scissors were brought, but as the joint
was somewhat loose the professor was
not able to cut the paper and threw the
scissors down in disgust, adding that
they were useless.
"Vera guid shears, professor," said
Alexander.
"I tell you they won't cut," said Hux
ley.
"Try again," said Alexander. "They
will cut."
The professor tried again and, nut
succeeding. said somewhat angrily.
"Bring me another pair of scissors."
Sir William Armstrong then stepped
forward and ordered Alexander to go
and buy a new pair.
"Vern guid shears, Sir William," per-
sisted Alexander, and, picking up the
scissors from the table and placing his
thumb and forefinger into the handles,
he stepped forward and asked Huxley
how be wanted the paper cut.
"I tell you they won't cut," said the
professor.
"Bring me a new pair instantly," said
Sir William.
tell'ee ther'r vera guid shears,
only the professor eanna cut wt' them,"
replied Alexander.
"Well, then, cut it there," said Hux-
ley somewhat tartly, at the same time
indicating the place with his forefinger.
Alexander took hold of the paper and,
inserting the scissors, pressed the
blades together and cut off the required
portion as neatly as If he had used a
straightedge; then, turning to the pro -
teaser, with a rather significant leer
and twinkle of the eye, said, "Seeance
an' alit dinna gang thegither, pro-
fessor."
The professor and all present col-
lapsed. Huxley put his hand Into his
pocket and, taking out a sovereign, gave
1t to Alexander, adding at the same
time, "You have done ate." The same
evening Alexander related the story
with great gusto to a friend. When
asked how he dared to make so free
with such a distinguished man, be re-
plied with great emphasis, "Lord, mon,
they bits o' professor bodies ken neatb-
!ng at a' except their bulks."—West-
minster Gazette.
When They Cut Their Beards.
In France Henry IV. was the last
monarch who wore a beard, and he bad
a fine one. He was succeeded by a
beardless minor. In compliment to
whom the courtiers shaved all their
beards except the mustaches. The suc-
cession of another minor confirmed the
custom, and ultimately the mustaches
also disappeared. The Spaniards, more
tardily Influenced by French example,
kept their beams until the French and
English were begiu•,fng to relinquish
even mustaches. :*erhaps they would
have kept the cs.erished appendage, but
a French prt.tce, Philip V., succeeded
to the Spanish throne with a shaved
chin. The courtiers with heavy hearts
imitated the prince, and the people
with still heavier hearts imitated the
courtiers. The popular feeling on the
subject, however, remains recorded in
the proverb, "Since we have lost our
beards we have lost our souls."
Why Babies Sock Their Thumbs.
Sucking is a natural stimulant for
babies. A very young baby tries to get
the whole hand in its mouth, but, find-
ing this fraught with danger, be grows
more cautious and finally fails on the
thumb as the moat enticing member of
the hand. Sucking the thumb acts u a

The beneficial effect arising from the
act of deglutition Is one of nature's
happiest stimulants. It Is generally

than those who are strong and full of
life who develop decided tendencies in
this direction. The reason of this be ev-

The interineut follows a few hours
after death. The "washers" are wen
and women who wash and shroud the
body and dig a hole in the earth to
hold the water, so that It cannot spread
fery much, as It Is considered unlucky
to tread on this water. The wasbiug is
a great ceremony, and wirer finished
the body Is shrouded with even more
ceremony. If there Is a widow of the
deceased, she returns the dowry her
husband bad given her. If the deceas-,
ed's mother Is present, ate says, ••The
milk with which 1 suckled thee 1 freely
bestow upon thee." 'Thus she resigns
the debt of the deceased to her. When

etted, and the body, with the head to
the north and the face looking toward
Mecca, is laid on Its back in Its tomb.
The grave 1s about seven feet long for
both sexes, but the depth for a man is
measured by the distauce between his
feet and chest; for a woman, between
her feet and waist. If the body Is too I

the deceased must have been a great

Before the body Is covered the Mo-
hammedan takes a little earth and,
throwing It Into the grave, says, "We
created you of earth, and we return
you to the earth, and we shall raise
you out of the earth on the day of resur-
rection." Then a astound Is built to
keep the earth In the grave from crush -
Ing the body, and water is sprinkled
on It in three lines. Special prayers for
the safe voyage of the deceased are of-
fered after the burial. As in the case
of a Hlndoo funeral, the poor are not
forgotten, both rememtppring the needy
by distributing mouey, salt, rice and
wheat among them after the funeral.
The Prague Clock.
Since the middle of the fifteenth cen-
tury the city of Prague has possessed
a remarkable clock, the machinery of
which Is moat complicated. The dial,
which Is between six and eight `feet
across, has a number of hands, which
mark not only the wlnutes and the
hours, but also the days, months, years
and centuries. Of this clock a poet
tells us:
At the left of the dial a skeleton stands,
And aloft hangs a musical bell 1n the
tower,
Which he rings by a rope that he holds In
his hands
In his punctual function of striking_ the
hour.
But the funniest sight of the numerous
sights
tTbtch the clock has to show to the
people below
Is the holy apostles, In tunics and tights,
Who revolve In a ring or proceed in a
row.
Wonders About Skin Pore..
Each square inch of the human skin
contains no less than 8,500 sweating
tubes, or perspiration pores. Each of
these tubes, although wonderfully mi-
nute, Is about one-fourth of an Inch in
length. Each of these sweat tubes may
be likened to a tiny draintile. We find
that the average adult bas about 2,000
square inches of skin on the surface of
his body. Each square Inch of this
otter cuticle Is, as we have said, liter-
ally permeated with Its 8,500 quarter
Inch perspiration ditches. If we could
put each of these little tubes end to
end we would find that they would ex-
tend a distance of not leas than 201,166
feet. Had you ever before stopped to
consider the fact that the aggregate
length of the ole ditches for draining
the human body is almost forty miles?

THE MAELSTROM.
Bow It Feels to ise ea the Edge of
the Great Whirlpool.
Off the const of Norway, between
two Islands of the Lofoden group, Is
the largest whirlpool lu the world. Its
name, Maelstrom, means "whirling
stream," and the title is well earned.
The great Maelstrom Is no longer
held In superstitious fear, and mari-
time charts have taught the sailors of
the world where the danger Iles and
how to avoid it, so that accidents rare-
ly occur—never except through igno-
rance or a previous disaster that has
rendered a vessel unmanageable.
Several years ago the captain of a
sailing vessel, desirous of seeing the
famous whirlpool at close quarters,
was assured by his Norwegian pilot
that be might venture near enough for
examination without danger. And here
is what the captain saw:
-I went on the main topsail yard
with a good glass. I had been seated
but a few minutes when my -ship en-
tered the dlsb of the whirlpool. The
velocity of the water altered her
course three points toward the center.
TIM alarmed me extremely for a mo-
ment. I thought destruction was in-
evitable. But she auswered her helm
nobly, and we ran along the edge, the
waters foaming round us In every
form.
"The sensations I experienced are
difficult to describe. Imagine an im-
mense circle running round of a diem-
etl* of one and a half miles, the veloc-
ity Increasing as It approximated the
center and gradually changing Its dark
blue color to white, foaming, tumbling,
rushing to Its vortex, very much cou-
oave—aa much so as the water in a
funnel when half run out. The noise,
too, hissing, roaring, dashing, all press-
ing on the mind at once, presented the
most awful, grand and solemn sight I
ever beheld. We were near It about
eighteen minutes and in sight of it two
hours. It Is evidently a subterranean
passage. From Itti magnitude I should
not doubt that instant destruction
would be the fate of a dozen of our
largest ships were they drawn In at
the same moment. The pilot says that
several vessels tlutt had become un-
manageable have ix'en sucked down
and that whales have also been de-
stroyed."

The donjon, or keep, of the castle
was a tower within, much stroager
than the rest of the structure and de-
signed as a last resort for the garrison
when the walls and other portions of
the fortification bad fallen Into the
bands of the enemy. The donjon was
generally provided with a secret exit,
a tunnel being constructed, often many
hundreds of yards in length, leading to
some concealed outlet through which
the besieged could receive succor or, in
time of necessity, escape.

ADVERTISING A BOOK.
How the Author Of "Valerie' Cap-
tured t'arlatnas Long Ago.
We had soave notes a little while
ago on the methods which some au-
thors have adopted for the advertise-
ment of their books. A correspondent
sends us nu example of this sort of
thing, which Is the better worth quot-
ing because we ;lave never seen it
quoted in this connection before. It is
taken from a life of Mme. de Krudner,
whose novel "Valerie" appeared short-
ly after Mme. de Steel's "Delphlne."
"Yon know quite well," the author
wrote to a friend, "that neither talent
nor genius nor the excellence of one's
intentions Is sufficient to Insure a
success. Everything demands some
charlatanism." And the 'dorreplier
proceeds to tell us how she translated
her doctrine Into action.
During several days, he writes, she
made the round of the fashionable
shops incognito, asking sometimes for
shawls, sometimes for hats, feathers,
wreaths or ribbons, all "a In Valerie."
When they saw this beautiful and ele-
gant stranger step out of her carriage
with an air of as ranee and ask- for
fancy articles whl •h she invented ou
the spur of the m e
t nt the shopkeep-
ers
ho k >
p p eel
ers were seized with a polite desire
to satisfy her by auy means in their
power, -Moreover, the Indy wentd soou
pretend to recognize the article she had
asked for. And If the unfortunate
shopglrls, taken aback by such un-
usual demands, looked puzzled Mite.
de Krudner would smile graciously
and pity Mien' for their Ignorance of
the new novel, thus turning them all
tato eager readers of "Valerie." Then,
den with purchases, she would drive
off to another shop, pretending to
search for that which existed only In
ber Imagination. Thanks to these ma-
neuvers, she succeeded in exciting
such ardent competition in honor of
ber heroine that for a week at least
the shops sold everything "a la Va-
lerie." Her own friends, the Innocent
accomplices In her stratagem, also visit-
ed shops on her recommendation, thus
carrying the fame of her book through
the Faubourg Suint -Germain and the

HUNTING VIOLINS.
Taristo Was Found Dead Surrounded
by Valuable Instruments.
Violin makers now and again come
upon pieces of wood of phenomenal
resonance and beauty, and when they
do we may be sure they give special
care to the making and finishing of the
instrument formed of the wood. Strad -
!retitle, at any rate, did. In 1710 he
had a piece of luck in this particular,
and his luck went Into an instrument
with wblcb he fell so much In lore that
be absolutely refused to sell it or allow
it to be played upon by any bands but
his own. He kept It locked up, and
when he died at the advanced age of
ninety-three he bequeathed it to his
sons. By and by an enthusiastic col-
lector named Salabue got on the scent
of this instrument and about the year
1760 be acquired It—at what figure is
not known—from one of the great
man's sons.
Salabue cherished It until his death,
about 1827, and then a strange charac-
ter appears ou the scene as purchaser.
This wean eccentric old fellow named
Luigi Tarlslo. who, abandoning his
trade as carpenter, had started collect-
ing old violins and was now searching
in every nook and corner of Italy for
the treasures of Cremona. He could
neither read nor write, this enthusias-
tic collector, but ho could tell a valua-
ble fiddle the moment he saw it, and
he estimated the worth of the Salabue
"Strad" so well that after he had ac-
quired It he kept It to himself with all
the loving care that Its maker had al-
ready shown for It. Tarisio lived en-
tirely alone In a wretched garret in
Milan, and one day In the year 1854 his
neighbors found him lying dead among
a confused heap of Cremonas. The old
man bad amassed a collection of some
250 instruments, the result of a thirty
years' 'hunt," and, although he bad
started life a penniless carpenter, he
died worth about f12,000.—Cornhlil.

THE FRILLED LIZARD.
it Carries au Umbrella and 11*. a
Fighting Tait.
The frilled lizard is fount! in Austra-
lian woods, being tolerably ubundaut
in north Queensland rindthe Kimber-
ley district of western Australia. It
lives on beetles such as are found on
the tree barks. It is sheat three feet
long, measured from bend to tall point.
What makes It remarkable consists of
two things—its hurried walk and its
fighting anger.
It carries a sort of natural umbrella
top about its neck, which it elevates
suddenly with an alarming effect even
to ordinary lizard killing Clogs, searing
them as an umbrella opened' In the face
of a Charging bull; hence it is called
the frilled lizard, 119 teeth are not of
much use as a defense against a vigor-
ous animal, but when it fights it uses
Its long, lithe tall in n way to bring
long bruises on one's hands --1n fact,
could it be properly trained, it might
serve as an automatic switch, which,
like the magic rub -n -dub -dub stick,
would it the word administer a thrash-
ing to the disobedient child.
From the scientific point of view the
creature's peculiar method of ambula-
tion is most interesting, because it pre-
sents an absurdly grotesque appear-
ance at such times. wore especially
from the rear. It walla blpedallyor on
two feet, like a bird. and so touch does
It resemble a bird In Its walk that It
seems to be the connecting link be-
tween the ancestors of birds and the
lizards of today.
HANGED TO MUSIC.
Doomed Man Sang 'e1 Want to Be an
Angel'* With the Crowd.
"In the early days of Wyumtug,
when there were but a few churches
and many infractions of law, a man
of the name of Barstow, who never
knew fear and was n devout Christian,
was elected to the office of sheriff,"
said a citizen of that state. "Soon
after Barstow entered -upon the duties
of his office a man was eonvicted for
a capital crime.
"The fact that there was no minister
within reach preyed upon the mind of
the sheriff, who undertook to supply
the lack by bolding an hour's Bible
reading In the condemned man's cell
and praying with him. As the time
for the banging approached Barstow
became possessed with the fear that
he had not acquitted Ithuseif of the
spiritual responsibility devolving upon
him and devised a programme that
was new and unique. After the victim
of the law's mandate was placed upon
the platform and everything was in
readiness the sheriff prayed 'long and
fervently. Then be called for some one
to start a hymn, and a man near the
platform began the only oue he know,
'I Want to Be an Angel,' in which the
prisoner joined.
"As the last verse was sung the sher-
iff busied himself adjusting the noose,
and immediately upon its conclusion
the trap was sprung.",

A COLOSSAL GORGE.
The Sublime Beauties of the Grand
Canyon of rlsona,
This terrific gash a more than 200
titles long and more han a mile deep,
and its area exceeds 2,000 square miles.
From the El Toyer rim, on which I
stand, to the gleaming, snow veined
crags on the opposite side of this stu-
pendous cleft the distance Is thirteen
miles. Human vision cannot take in
the full extent of this wide pageant of
terror and glory nor is it within the ca-
pacity of words to set forth its over-
whelming splendor. The plain on which
I stand is nearly 8,000 feet above sea
level, and here, In a prodigious fissure
—gaunt, abrupt, frightful and wonder-
ful—are assembled mountains, valleys,
enormous rocks, precipitous crags, ra-
vines of mystery and forests of gloom,
through which the black waters of the
Colorado rush onward In their resist-
less flow and over which the dauntless
eagle wings Its upward flight to meet
the sun. All the forms are here that
imagination could construct, and all the
colors are here that glow In sunset
skies. Far down In the subterranean
vista the forests show like green lawns.
Not less than seven geologic periods in
the physical history of the planet are
displayed in the layers of tinted rock—
black, green, gray, red, brown, blue,
pink, orange and alabaster, with many
other mingled hues—that constitute the
walls of this colossal gorge; walls that
seem continuous and unbroken, yet
everywhere are rifted with lateral fis-
sures, the beds of mountain streams
that swell the flood of the great Colo-
rado river. The American continent
bas nowhere else a spectacle to show
commensurate with this in beauty,
grandeur and awe.—William Winter in

AQUATIC PLANTS
Bow They May Be Suceessfnily Culti-
vated In Tubs.
The cultivation of aquatic plants in
tubs makes it possible for any one to
try his skill with them. Of course he
need not expect to be able to grow the
rarer sorts of nympbaea, but he can
succeed with many beautiful varieties
of water lily and other plants of that
class. A half barrel is not very at-
tractive to itself, brit its lack of beauty
may be concealed by the plants, or It
may be sunk its depth in the earth.
When it contains a fine specimen of
some aquatic plant we will forget all
about its lack of grace. When prepar-
ing for these plants put in rich black
mud from the bed of streams or muck
from swamps to the depth of a foot;
then plant your roots in It and fill with
water. Add enough water from time
to time to make up for that which is
lost by evaporation and give the tub a
sunny place in the yard or garden. It
you want to grow more plants than one
tub will accommodate, it is a good
plan to take tour, five, six, or as many
as you may decide on, and have them
sunk in the ground close together, so
that the general effect will be some-
thing like that which a large tank
would give. A better plan, though a
more expensive one to carry out, 1s
to have a tank constructed of heavy
planks. These should be securely bolt-
ed at the ends and the joints made
tight by white lead in the grooves.
Ironmonger.
The word "Ironmonger" has as curi-
ous an origin as any other word In the
English language. It means literally
an eater of Iron and came to its present
use In this way. There was once a law
that forbade buying fish to sell again,
and the fish hawkers, who still carried
on their trade In spite of this law, were
facetiously termed fish eaters or fish-
mongers, for, to evade the law, their
large purchases of fishwere said to be
for their own consumption. Gradually
the term monger was applied to other
trades, its cheesemonger, until at Last
it camel to mean any middle man, as
distinguished from a manufacturer, and
so was applied to the dealer In hard-
ware.—London Graphic.
Why Re Was Elected.
A manufacturer in the north of Eng-
land expected to be beaten at the polls
by his own employees, with whom he
was extremely unpopular. To his sur-
prise be was returned. His puzzled
agent sought for an explanation. "How
Is it," he asked one of the workmen,
"you voted for your master when yon
all have such a bad opinion of him?"
"Well, you see, mon, we voted for 'm
so he cud put hisself away in parlia-
ment in London. We don't want 'Im

ARNISH ROCK,
A I.atlhtbouse Which is Without a
Light of its Own.
The most extraordinary of all light-
houses Is to be found on Arnish rock,
Stornoway bay, a rock which is sepa-
rated from the Island of Lewis by a
channel over 500 feet wide, It Is in the •
Iiebrides, Scotland. On • tbis rock a
conical beacon is erected, and on its
summit a lantern Is fixed, from which,
night after night, shines a light which
is seen by the fishermen far and wide.
Yet there Is no bnruiug lamp in the
lantern, and no attendant ever goes to
it, for the simple reason that there is
no romp to attend to, no wick to train
and no oil well to replenish.
The way in which this peculiar light-
house iq illuminated is this: "On the
island of Lewis, 500 feet or so away,
Is a ilglsthnuse, and from a window In
the tower n stream of light is project-
ed on a mirror in the lantern on the
summit of Amish rock. These rays
are reflected to an arrangement of
prisms and by their action are con-
verged to n focus outside the lantern,
front which they diverge in the neces-
eery direction."
The consequence is that to all intents
and purposes a lighthouse exists which
has neither lamp nor lighthouse keeper
and yet which gives as serviceable a
light, taking into account the require-
ments of the locality, as if an elaborate
and costly lighthouse, with lamps, serv-
ice room,- bedroom, living room, store-
room, .011 room, water tanks and all
other accessories, were erected on the
summit of the rock.
THE ISLAND OF FIRE.
Java's Wonderful Lake of Bolling
Mud and Slime.
The greatest natural wonder In Java,
if not In the entire world, is the justly
celebrated Glteko Kamdka Gumko, or
Home of the Hot Devils, known to the
world as the Island of Fire. This geo-
logical singularity is really a lake of
boiling mud situated at about the cen-
ter of the plains of Grobogana and is
called an Island because the great em-
erald sea of vegetation which surrounds
it gives it that appearance. The island
is about two miles in circumference
and is situated at a distance of almost
exactly fifty miles from Solo. Near the
center of this geological freak immense
columns of soft hot mud may be seen
continually rising and falling like great
timbers thrust through the boiling sub-
stratum by giant bands and then again
quickly withdrawn. Besides the phe-
nomenon of boiling mud columns there
are scores of gigantic bubbles of hot
slime that fill up like huge balloous and
keep up a series of constant explosions,
the intensity of the detonations vary-
ing with the size of the bubble. In
times past, so tate Javanese authorities
say, there was a tall, spireiike column •
of baked mud on the west side of the
lake which constantly belched a pure
stream of cold water, but this has long
been obliterated, and everything is now
a seething mass of bubbling mud and
slime, a marvel to the visitors who
come from great distances to see it.
Burma Customs.
Twoceremonies in Burma mark when
childhood stops and manhood or wom-
anhood begins. The boys have their
thighs tattooed and the girls their ears
bored. The boring of a girl's ears !s
commenced with a needle, and the
puncture is gradually increased until
the tip of the finger can be introduced.
The enlarging process is the one car-
ried out in the Polynesian islands,
where a native can carry a good sized
knife hanging in the lobe of his ear.
The ugliest mutilation is that of the
Eskimo, who punches a hole in his
cheek and puts a bone stud into it. The
Burmese boy suffers great pain from
the elaborate ornamentation of his legs,
which are decorated In blue and red
patterns,
Organ Grinders In England.

the Italian In England obtains nearly
eight times as much per week as he
can earn in Italy, more than four times
as much as the English farm laborer
and nearly three times the pay of the
policeman who mos -es him on when
requested. Thousands of skilled an
titans who have served apprenticeship
as carpenters, painters and joiners get
only halt the organ grinder's pay, for
the Italian reckons it a very poor week
indeed if he makes less than $15, and
he often gets $17.50 to $20 or more.

The board of Comity commissioners of

aware the board has for sutne time had
under con Ider:Mon the question of re-
pairing lir Co.nty jad. The state
board o1C iI '111 having recently condemn-
ed ttn jail tool submitted their action to
you for ,l'l„'nv:0 or disapproval, you
have undoubtedly given the mutter such
attention as In your judgment it required.
I wou:d therefore respectfully ask that if
it h,• not iuconsiste0t with your duties
you would kindly furnish the board at
our coming meeting such information as
you may have as to the necessity of int -
proving or repairing. the jail so as to
make the same sanitary, safe, and sufli-
cient for the custody of prisoners. i think
I may assure you t the board would
:ippreciae an0 iuforouation you may give.
or any suggestion you may feel disposed

that such in;orrn:tion or suggestion
would have great weight with the board
in any :action taken it reference to the

Your letter asking me to furnish the
board of county commissioners such in-
fo.mation as I may have as to the
❑er ss`ty of improving the county jail so
as to make it sanitary, safe. and sufficient
for the custody of prisoners has been
received.
1 withheld my yen eat to the order of
the hoard of control condemning the jail
for the reason that 1 believed the jail
ry.tot be male sanitary. safe, and sctli-
cn•tit at a small expense, and that yo.r•
board would be willing to do it.
1 consder that the problem of ventila-
tion has been solved. and 1 suggest that
,, nu,:tors like the ones placed in
(0111't nes of the tail.:t SU .11x•058 001 ex-
cee ere eee.00, be placed in all of the
windows of the j0i1.
The ail sho.dd be made fire proof.
This in my .tud;ment can be done with -
111 great expense by lay tog steel stringers
on th.. top of the walls of the jail and
arehmg the space between them with
brick and covering the whole with grout -
ng. in the manlier that the ceilitrfs to the

uthcieut cell room for twenty prisoners.
These evils are eight feet in height.
Thete is now over eleven feet of space
bet weed the top of the cells tied the ceil-
ine. iff the capacity of the jail should
not be 'omit! adequate for all of the
prix reel that 'lay be confined therein,
in future another tier of cells Can be
placed ea top of those already in the jail,
thus doubling the number of the cells.
If that should be dolt e. 1 suggest that the
walls of the jail be built from two to four
feet higher and of the stone now• iu th

To the F.iliter of The Gazette:
Several items appearing in an extra of
The Farmington Tribune of Feb. '211th
have 010 name mentioned with the comity
seat question. A Mrs. Nixon and a Mr.
Iiorncamp are given as authorities for
something i have said derogatory to the
condition of our county buildings. 1
have no recollection of ever having the
pleasure of :in acquaintance with either
Mrs. Nunn or Mr, Borncamp.
Last September, during our. street Lair.
two ladies carne into my store. One of
them, whom 1 think was Mrs. Nixon,
observed an empty box with an easel
before it and exclaimed to her friend that
that was at pipe organ. The incident was
so amusing that 1 recall their visit. So
far as anything having been said in refer-
rtnce to the Courthouse or anything else
pertaining to Hastings i have no recollec-
tion whatever. At that time there was
nothing said about the removal of the
county seat. Mrs. Nixon must have had
a pipe dream which developed into an
extreme case of nightmare, from which
she has 001 Vet recovered.
i have been a resident of Hastings for
nearly forty years, and know of no reason
w'hy I should play the part of a Judas.
1 am for Hastings, and have no apologies
to offer. %Ve have good county buildings,
and I am satisfied that a majority of the
taxpayers of Dakota County are of a
similar opinion. J. B. LAMBERT.
The Counts Seat Question.
INVER GROVE, Mar. 1St, 1906.
To the Editor of The Gazette:
The die has been cast, and the skirmish-
ing along the picket line indicates a large
expenditure for war and nothing for
peace. 'tour correspondent is unable to
name the wise and profound logician
who first advised to be sure and let well
enough alone, yet there are conditions
where this state of affairs may be improv-
ed by the mutual agreement of all parties.
But this county seat removal question
is "at odds," for the courthouse Is well
enough, the location is well enough, the
jail is well enough, and more than that
good enough, bearing In mind.that those
fortunate by Incarceration as well as those
not so fortunate have thus far given no
indication of dying earlier than other
people. This byword unsanitary begins to
smell rank, and ranker in proportion as
we are taxed to provide better quarters
for criminals than the average day labor-
er as well as the early settled farmers are
able to do for themselves and those de-
pmdent upon them. P. RARTON

Holman Hunt. who began life as a
clerk to an :nee ioneer and estate agent,
Villa constantly drawing portraits when
he should ha ve been drawing up leases,
and in his chosen profession he was
never slowito seize the flying moment.
"I won't buy your oranges," he sa Id to
nu old woman who had entered the of-
fice in search of a custunier, "but I'll
paint yotir portrait." Old Hannah WitS
delighted, and thereupon she was put
on paper in her habit as she lived, her
basket on her head and au orange In
ber hand. But one Incident of thls te-
dious yet ambitious period of the art-
ist's life never ceased to afford him
amusement. The windows in Ills room
were made of ground glass, and as he
had little to do he spent much of his
time In drawing flies upou its roughen-
ed surface. A httt of ink sufficed for the
body, and some delicate pencil strokes
for the wings, and at a distance the de-
ception WaS perfect. Day by day the

employer came in, stopped before the
window and exclaimed: "I can't make

Into this room there seem to be more

handkerchief, he attempted to brush
them away.
Primitive Incense.
In ancient days sweet odors were ob-
tained by burning aromatic gums and
woods; hence the word perfume, which
is from the Latin per, through, fumus,
smoke or vapor. From this arose the
idea of incense in primitive worship.
It was Used by the orleutals long be-
fore it became known to the western
world. People of the east Utilized It
for sacrifice 111 their temples. At feasts
It enhanced the pleasure of the senses.
At funerals It was a bribe to appease
the manes of the dead, and later, in
theaters, a disinfectant against the un-
pleasant odors a crowded building.
Pliny assures u that Incense was not
employed In sa 'flee until after the
Trojan war, when fragrant woods were
applied to give au agreeable smell. In
an ancient magical manuscript it is di-
rected that three grains should be tak-
en, w-ith three fingers, and placed under
the threshold to keep away evil spirits
which might come iu the form of offen-
atve odors.
Nicotiana atlinis, the border flower,
which opens about 6 o'clock and gives
a powerful and pleasant fragrance dur-
ing the night, takes its name from the
ttanical term for the tobacco plant,
nicotiana, which was named in honor
of John Nicot of Starnes, ambassador
from the king of France to Portugal,
who procured the first seeds from a
Dutchman, who had them from Flor-
Ma Plans.

e Your letter asking me to furnish the
board of county commissioners such in
formation ns I may have as to the
- necessity of improvi;ot the county jail
• as to make it sanitary. safe, and sufficient
for the custody of prisoners has boen
received.
I withheld my consent to the order of
the board of control condemning the 1*11
for the reason that I believed the 'jail
could be made sanitary. safe, and suffi-
cient at a small expense. and that your
board would be willing to do it.
I consoler that the problem of ventila-
tion has been solved. and I suggest that
ventilators like the ones placed in thr.,
windows of the jail. at an expense not e
ceettingt045.00, be ptacro trt an 1)t0(10windows of the jail.
The jail should be made fire proof.
This in my judgment can be done with-
out great expense by laying steel stringers
on the top of the walls of the jidl and
arching the space between them with
brick and covering the whole WWI grout-
ing, in the manner that the ceilings to the
rooms on the first floor of the courthouse
and the ceiling to the basement are
constructed. This can be covered with
steel plates to further safeguard against
the escape of prisoners. There is now
sufficient cell room for twenty prisoners.
These cells are eight feet in height
I'I1lr 0 1055 over eleven feet of space
between the top of the cells and the ceil-
ing. If the capacity of the jail should
not be found adequate for all of ti*.
prisoners that may be confined therein.
in future another tier of cells can be
placed on top of those already in the jail.
thus doubling the number of the cells.
If that should be done. I suggest that the
walls of the jail be built from two to four
feet higher and of the stone now in the
annex, at the southwest corner of the
which are already cut and fitted for such
ft purpose.
That annex is no longer required for
use for any purpose connected with the
courthouse or jail. I believe the water
closets in the jail and its sewerage to be
sanitary and adequate.
If more light be desirable additional
windows can be placed in the walls of the
jail to furnish it.
I further suggest that you procure the
estimate of a competent person of what
the expense will be to make all necessary
improvements on the lines suggested,
lours truly. P. M. CROsIlY.

The above shows the geographical centre of the county to be one and one -'half miles south of Coates Station, in sec-
tion seven, town of Vermillion. This point is ten miles from Hastings and nine and one-half miles from Farmington.
The centre of population is two miles northeast of Rich Valley, ten miles from Hastings and fifteen miles from Farm-
ing,ton. The farthest point from Hastings is the extreme corner of Greenvale township, twenty-nine miles by wagon
road. The farthest point from Farmington is the northeast corner of Ravenna, twenty-six miles by wagon road. From
West St. Paul, the extreme north end of the county, it is eighteen miles to Hastings and twenty-one and one-half
miles to Farmington, by wagon road. Hastings. is six miles from the extreme eastern boundary of the county. Farm-
ington is eight and one•half miles from the extreme western boundary of the county. These facts, which are con-
clusively proven by the map of the county, show that Hastings is to all practical purposes as centrally located as
Farmington.

A New Jan le not Needed.
The following paragraph is taken
from The Northfield Independent of
the 8th, of which paper Beelzebub
Carpenter is editor and proprietor:
Just now the jail appears to be the
storm centre of the Dakota County sett
contest. If it is admitted or proven that
a new jail Is necessary and ought to be
built. then the county seat should be first
removed to Farmington. If it can be
proven that a new jail is not needed, thee
perhaps the seat of government can be
retained at Hastings.
It has been clearly proven that not
oulya new jail is not needed, but that
the present building can be thorough-
ly repaired ata cost of only $2,623.50,
considerably less than the expense of
holding a special election. Why
then should a new jail be built, either
at Hastings or any other place, and
the taxpayers unnecessarily burdened
to the tune of $25,000?
So far as Judge Crosby is concern-
ed, the jail could not be condemned
without his approval as judge of the
district court. This he declined to
give, and the reasons for so doing
were fully explained in his letter to
the chairman of the county board.
The judge may not be an architect,
but under the law he holds the key to
the situation, a fact which Beelzebub
seems to have overlooked in his ex-
tensive practice. What he doesn't
know about law would make a larger
book than the new code.
Ananias has stated repeatedly that
11. W. Childs, of St. Paul, has been
secured as general counsel, with P.
11. O'Keefe, C. P. Carpenter, and C.
J. Zehnder as associates, to look after
the legal side of the matter connected
with their attempted removal of the
county seat. Such an array of legal
talent was never before assembled in a
case so clearly defined by statute.
Gen.Cbilds must doubtless feel highly
flattered by being named in this con-
nection, and will undoubtedly profit
largely by the combined wisdom and
legal knowledge of his advisors. It
is understood, however, that Mr.
Zehnder was simply employed to
secure signers in Inver Grove, and
not as an attorney, and probably has
earned his money.

Ananias Ilerrick stated to one of

fectly willing to have $15,000 ex-
pended upon our county jail. The
estimate shows that it will cost the
taxpayers no more than the special
election which he is so persistently
advocating. Ananias has probably
had a glimpse of the handwriting up-
oit the wall, and is preparing to hedge.

into a hot county seat fight. To an
outsider a county seat fight is very
disgusting, as every old kind of a lie
is brought up by the town who wants
the county buildings to attempt to
win its point. But in this case
there is no grounds whatever for
moving the county seat, but to satis-
fy a few laud owners in Farmington,
The buildings at Hastings are all in
excellent condition, supplied with
sewerage, electric lights, and all
modern conveniences, and Hastings
is about as near the centre of the

The County Jail.
Inspection of the Building by a well
Known Architect of Bt. Paul. -Sia
Estimate of the Expense for Repairs is
82.623.50, Considerably Lees than the
Cost of a Special Election.
At the request of W. E. Beerse,
chairman of the county board, au in-
spection of our jail was made last
Saturday by Mr. A. F. Gauger, for
many years building inspector in St.
Paul, and one of the best known
architects in the northwest. His
figures, admitted to be rather high,
prove conclusively that the building
can be thoroughly overhauled and re
paired ata considerable less expense
than the cost of holding a special
election demanded by the Farming.
ton promoters.
The correspondence and estimate is
herewith submitted for the consider-
ation of the taxpayers of Dakota
County, and should receive their
special attention. Why should the
existing buildings he abandoned and
new ones erected just to stimulate a
small building boom at the western
edge of our territory?
The full text of the letters is as
follows:
IIAsTlsas, Minn., Feb. 28th. 1906.
Mr..t. 1'. Gauger. St. Paul. Minn.: Dear Sir:
For some time the county commissioners
have had under consideration the im-
provement of the county jail. The Hon.
F. M. Crosby, judge of the district court.
has made certain suggestions in a com-
munication submitted. (a copy of which
is herewith enclosed). It is alone the
lines stated in that communication that
w•e want the improvement made.
You have been recommended by Mr. C.
H. Johnston, architect for the state
board of control, its a most competent
man.
We would be pleased to know if you
are at liberty to make ao inspection of the
premises and advise us as to the advis•
ability and an estimate of the cost of such
improvement.
Kindly advise us if we may expect you.
and when. Yours very truly-.

in reply I wish to stale that I have in-

The estimate may perhaps appear high.
But when yon take into consideration the

The West St. Paul Meeting.
An interesting meeting was held in
West St. Paul last Tuesday night, at
which Mayor John Liebe presided.
The first speaker was Beelzebub
Carpenter, who enlarged upon tite
central location of Farmington. as-
serting that the territory contiguous
to that village contained wore than
half of the voting population
and the assessed valuation. Ananias
Herrick followed, referring to the
recent Hampton meeting, and alleg-
ing that our people had hired slug-
gers to _go. out there and annoy the
gang. Neither of these statements
are true. Com. Al. Werden was
called upon, but declined to take
sides with either town. The hit of
the evening was made by Senator
Albert Schaller, who showed from the
map that Hastings was only half a
utile farther from the geographical
centre of the county than Farmington,
was nearer to the people of West St.
Paul by either rail or wagon road,
and that the fare by train was eight-
een cents less. He proved from the
proceedings of the county board that
tite levy for a new jail was only
$10,000, and literally ripped their
flimsy arguments up the back. The
speech was enlivened by interrup-
tions and repartee, and as a result the
gang only secured three or four votes
to their petition. Several Hastings
business men were present by special
invitation, and heartily enjoyed the
sport.
The Hampton Meeting.
The Farmington gang had a lively
time at Hampton on Thursday even-
ing of last week. There were about
a hundred and twenty-five present,
of which number they furnished
nearly half. No one would serve
as chairman, and the speakers,
Beelzebub Carpenter and Ananias
Herrick, werev rendered ridiculous by
the continued questions and inter.
pol ations from the audience. The
jail question was answered by Coin.
.1..1, Giefer, who knew what he was
talking :about. He said that a new
one would not be built, but that the
old building maid be repauee i and
placed in excellent condition at a
cost not to exceed $2.500. As the
hoard levied $10,000 for this pur-
pose last .1ttly, there wilt he no :td
iitional burden imposed upon the
taxpayers. A few signers for a
special election were secured from
the northern end of the township, but
only one or two from the village.

I Every
Two Minutes
Physicians tell us that all
the blood in a healthy
human body passes through
the heart once in every two
minutes. If this action be-
comes irregular the whole
body suffers. Poor health
follows poor blood ; Scott's
Emulsion makes the blood
pure. One reason why
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
is such a great aid is because
it passes so quickly into
the blood. It is partly di-
gested before it enters the
stomach ; a double advan-
tage in this. Less work
for the stomach; quicker
and more direct benefits.
To get the greatest amount
of good with the least pos-
sible effort is the desire of
everyone in poor health.
Scott's Emulsion does just
that. A change for the
better takes place even be-
fore you expect it.
We will send you a
sample free.
Be sure that tiffs
picture in the form of
a label is on the wrap-
per of every bottle of
Emulsion you buy.

The Difference Between
A CHEAP BUGGY:
SHAFTS. -XX grade hickory,
cross bar, not ironed on top and
poorly leathered.
BODY AND SEAT. -Made of
cottonwood: sides and ends of
body very thin; sills Tight and
made of ash; size of body 2.4x54,
generally.
SPRINGS. -They are general-
ly too light and of poor quality.
PAINTING, -Patented system,
for quick work; requiring only
about 10 days to paint a buggy.
WHEELS, -Made of cull stock.
IRONING. --Circle or fifth
wheel, body loops, frame of dash,
seat handles, etc,, are malleable
instead of wrought iron.
TOPS. -Quarter and back stays,
of split leather: roof and back
curtain of 18 to 22 oz. rubber.
lined with 6 oz. union cloth, halt
cotton and half wool.
SIDE CURTAINS, --Very light,
rubber or gum muslin.
STORM APRON. -Cheap light
rubber.
DASH. -Cheap patent leather,
not padded.
TRIMMING.- Split leather;
depth of cushion only 15 or 16 in,,
with from 10 to 15 springs in
cushion. Trimming leather should
be soft not stiff and hard.
a Cheap Buggy and a Good Buggy.
THE VELIE WROT IRON BUGGY.
Called Wro't Iron because the circle or fifth wheel and many other
of its parts are wrot instead of malleable.
It is seldom, very seldom. it pays the ordinary user of a buggy to
buy a cheap one. There may be occasionally a case where a cheap
buggy might do for temporary use or where it would be hitched onto by
an old or slow,tame horse, and a careful driver.
The name Velie really designates a High tirade Buggy.
The Velie Buggies are not made in cheap grades at all.
So when you get one it is sure to be good.
When you want a buggy come in and see us and we will try and fit
you out with one adapted best for your use.
Remember The Name "VELIE" On a Buggy Stands
For QUALITY.

From the above you will see that it only takes an investment of $20.00 more to give you a ggood buggyin-
stead of a cheap one. You have to go through the same motions, nearly the sane labor, and ame
amount of lumber to crate a cheap buggy as a good, ono. It does not take such an awful lot omoney in adding

To the Public.For the purpose of limiting my bust-
ness to special lines 1 have sob( out my
interest in the firtn of Whitford & Boyn-
ton to Mr. Otto Ack:•rtnan, the new firm
being styled Ackerm,t & Boynton. They
have also purchased my office building
and will do a general agency business,
including insurance of nil kinds, the care
of and sale of real estate, the narking of
loans and investments. and management
of property interests. Miss Boynton has
been in my employ for over fifteen years,
and has shown herself lobe conscientious.
industrious. competent. and thoroughly
honest and reliable. Mr. Ackerman is so
well known that it is hardly necessary
for me to say that 1 have known him for
many years and know him to be a busi-
ness man of ability and integrity, and the
man who makes a successor his own
business I count more competent to
look after mime. I therefore have ar-
ranged to rent my Mil:, of the new firm.
and to leave my books and accounts in
their hands where int clients will find
thetn. Their office will be open every
business day in the year. nod their pa-
trons will have no difficulty in finding
them. I ask for them the same loyal
and generous patronage in their busi-
ness that has been accorded me for so
many years past.

more and more annoyed with the awk-
ward position in which she found her-
self; annoyed also by Sinclair's veiled
remarks upon Johnson's tardiness, his
polite wonder, and they to have John-
son appear, raise his hat and pass on!
The girl bit her lip again at the mem-
ory.Then suddenly as she caught the look
in his eager, earnest eyes her own sof-

Sinclair, rather sulky at being forced
to play on a hot afternoon, had hither-
to not chosen to exert himself, letting
the games go to his adversaries, but
now he was beginning to be interested.
If they were to win. Johnson must con-
centrate. And Johnson, all at once in-

ner, straightened himself. The other
side should not wiu a single game.

air, strove his utmost, unavailingly.

With a great sigh, Johnson faced her.
"We've won!" he whispered exulting-
ly, just loud enough for her to hear.
Helen, her eyes unfathomable, glanced
for a moment across at Sinclair—Sin-
clair with his millions. Then, the sweet-
est, tenderest smile curving her mobile
mouth, she lifted her face to Johnson.
"Yes," she said softly; "a love match."
MACHINE SAVES LABOR.
d Endless Chitin Device For Loaders
and unloading Freight.
To facilitate the handling of bulky
merchandise F. B. Clark, a Washington
man, has Invented machine for load-
ing and unloading miscellaneous art]•
cies—freight and the like—of all sizes,
shapes tied weights. It Is an endless
chain of broad, tint links, working
somewhat like a bicycle chain. The
links are interchangeable, and the
chain can be lengthened or shortened
at pleasure. It is a double chain, run -
Mug on rollers easily with little noise
or friction.
This mach Ine solves a problem
which has prevented the endless chain
System front being a stletess. It has n
eOntiuuons slot, through which the
hooks sustaining the loud travel. En-
gineers have long sought a simple de-
vice for handling mixed cargoes of
freight, especially on vessels and
boats rising and falling with the tide.
The continuous slot invention enables
the loads hanging from the hooks to
trnvel the entire distance covered by
this moving chain=say from n wagon
on shore to the hold of a vessel or to
the freight cars on n track, or from the
interior of a building to a wagon out-
side or from the wagon to the interior
of the building, through n door or win-
dow. Both ends of this broad, flat,
endless chain hang loose from the
frame on which they run.
All kinds of packages, bales, barrels
or loxes may be hooked to this chain
and swung along. traveling in proses•
Mines of Mammoth Bones,
At some time lin the distant past a
remarkable state of affairs existed in
what are now the bleak arctic regions
of Siberia. At the time of which we
speak the climate must have been
comparatively mild, for thousands and
hundreds of thousands of huge ani-
mals, mostly of the elephant type.
roamed up and down the valleys of
what are now frozen polar rivers. In
the midst of their innocent happiness
a sudden and awful change came.
Some philosophers say that the earth
"fell out of balance" and tilted thou-
sands of miles to the north. Whatever
the cause, fierce winter almost instant-
ly swept over the land of the mas-
todon and the mammoth and over-
whelmed the great beasts In huge
NtQ ,drifts. from which they could not

transfortbed into great mountains of
ice, and today specimens of the great
hairy mammoth may be found that

In, thousands of years ago. In some
places along the Lena. river the bluffs
are perfect mines of mammoth hones.
The Change That Was Wrought.
The little man was explaining to his
audience the benefits of physical cul-
ture. "Three years ago," he said. "I
was a miserable wreck. Now, what do
you suppose brought about this great
change in me?" "What change?" said
a voice from the audience. There was
a succession of loud smiles, and some
persons thought to see him collapse.
But the little man was not to be put
out. "Will the gentleman who asked
'What change?' kindly step up here?"
he asked suavely. "I shall then be bet-
ter able to explain. That's right!"
Then, grabbing. the witty gentleman
by the neck: "When I first took up
physical culture I could not even lift a
little man. Now (suiting action to
word) I can throw one about like a
bundle of rags." And finally he flung
the interrupter half a dozen yards
along the floor. "I trust, gentlemen,
that you will see the force of my argu-
ment, and that I have not hurt this
gentleman's feelings by my explana-
tion." There were no more interrup-
tions.
it Saints and Disease.
The good St. Anthony owes scarcely
more of his fame, probably, to his
temptations than to the association of
his name in popular speech with a dis-
ease. Erysipelas, known as tbe "sa-
cred fire" before tbe eleventh century,
owes its later name of "St. Anthony's
fire" to the tradition that those who in-
voked the saint during a terrible epi-
demic of that time were cured. A com-
plete list of complaints thus linked
with the names of saints would be
very curious. Neuralgia In the jaw is

Moll between any two points and ele-
vated or lowered at any desired alti-
tude.
"The bulk of freight all over the
world," says the Inventor, "whether on
docks, vessels or interiors, is handled
principally by manual labor, trucks
and derricks. After depositing the load
a return trip is made, using time and
power which may be counted as prat•
tically wasted. Occasionally some kind
of a traveling sidewalk assists or car-
ries the truck load up an incline.
"Generally also all classes of contiu•
nous carriers handle freight of one
kind only, and each is designed for
that exclusive purpose, usually lifting
from one level to n higher,
"Again, most systems carry the load
on top over rollers or wheels, snaking
more or leas jar. Their endless chains
must pass around permanently sta-
tioned env) wheels. We therefore see
that fixed end wheels snake these ma-
chines inelTective between a floating
object—a vessel—and n permanent one,
es a pier, because the rise and tall of
the vessel by reason of loading and un-
loading or on nceount of the tides
would result in putting the machine
stationed fixedly in the hold.
"The machine lifts a package, carries
it over any intervening object at right
angles and places it at any higher,
equal or lower level to and from two
movable platforms, or movable to itu-
movable- and vice veru, by reversing
the power."
No Hereditary InaanIty,
Professor Wagner von inning of
Vienna, whose recent publications con-
cerning heredity- have created a great
deal of discussion in the medical world.
says: "A person descended from in-
sane people need not fear to go insane.
If he lives a hygienic life there is every
reason to believe that be will escape
the curse. This ought to be given the
widest possible publication, for fear or
anticipation of insane disaster drives
numerous people insane who otherwise
might lead happy and useful lives,
"According to the elaborate statis-
tics of Drs. Koller and Diem, there Is
little or no hereditary insanity;" con-
tinued the professor. "This means per-
sons descended from insane ancestors
are not necessarily % doomed to end
their days In a straitjacket. In fact,
there is little probability that the he-
reditary taint, so called, will affect
them if they live right. I deny that n
positive disposition to hereditary in-
sanity exists. There is no rule what-
ever that man is doomed to his ances-
tor's mental diseases or physical either.
He may suffer from them, I admit, but
that he must suffer I deny."
Artificial Diamonds,
After a series of fascinating experi-
ments, marked by several violent ex-
plosions, in which his Life was endan-
gered, Chief Engineer Henry W. Fish-
er of the Standard Underground Cable
company of this city, has succeeded
in making real diamonds in an arc fur-
nace. The gems are larger than any
of the artificial diamonds created by
M. Henri Moisson of Paris In his labor-
atory. They are the first ever pro-
duced in the United States. Fisher is
now experimenting with heat tests in
the hope of finding the critical tempera-
ture at which gems of Large size are
formed.—New York Herald,
Moans as Medicine.
The Lancet, the leading medical pa-
per of London, has been discussing
"The Language of Moans." Says that
publication: "There is no doubt that
there are considerable mental comfort
and relief obtained from a series of
long drawn sighs during a period of
sorrowful depression or from noisy
ejacnfations of the nature of groans
andmoans made by a sufferer from

varieties is fatal there is grunt fear felt the lame steel sgaarin used by oar-
onof them in the ocean spaces which they pesters are sorb commUsed
tools that
Inhabit.
These fifty varieties are alt classified
under the general title of thanato-
phidia. None of theta is able to live
anywhere except In ocean water. Every
variety and subvariety Is as poisonous
as the cobra or the bushmaster of Af-
rica. Indeed. with the exception of
these two land varieties, there is no
snake on land that kills so swiftly and
so terribly as do the sea snakes. Ow-
ing to their fatal weapons and their
ease and celerity in swimming there
are practically no euemies which de-
stroy enough of them to diminish their
numbers.
Almost all the thanatophidia are
beautifully colored. even more gorgeous
than any of the land snakes, with the
possible exception of the coral, crass
and carpet snakes. They are banded,
striped, speckled and blotched with
green, olive. yellow, blue and black and
present a most brilliant spectacle as
they are seen swimming below the sur-
face of the transparent blue of the Indi-
an ocean. Wben they are swimming at
the ordinary rate of speed they seem
to undulate all over. They do not wind
through the water as the eel does, but
their locomotion resembles that of the
caterpillar except that it is far more
graceful, and as they move mud twist
the colors play along their sides and
backs as they do on the dolphin. When
they dash at their prey at full speed
they move like an arrow, with their
heads and necks thrust straight before
them If they are swimming under the
surface, or, if ,they are darting along
the top of the water, with their heads
elevated just enough to clear the
waves. When they are racing along
thus their sole means of locomotion Is
their broad, paddle shaped tall, which
Is peculiar to ail the sea snakes and
forms the only striking difference be-
tween them and the ordinary land ser-
pent.
This paddle is used like a steamer's
screw and bas immense power. Bent
Sideways it will stop the snake itume-
diately as if the creature had anchored
suddenly. When dozing or resting over
reefs, which are common In the coral
banks, snakes bold fast to the rocks or
bottom with their broad tails and will
often sway In this way for hours In
calm weather.
Men may have recovered from the
bites of these serpents, but there are
certainly none on record. Most of
their victims are Malay and other na-
tive fisheruten, and shore dwellers and
physicians rarely get to see them.
Statistics are not kept in that part
of the world, so it is Impossible to
ascertain bow many are killed In this
way each year. Travelers say that
there Is hardly a fishing village which
has not its tale of death to tell.
Scientists once held to the opinion
that the deadliness of the bite was due
not to the-veuom, like that of the land
snakes, but to some property that
caused blood poison, as does the bite
of many fishes which are not poisonous
In themselves. But this opinion was
changed after the medical men ou
board the British warship Algerine had
made careful observations of a sailor
who had been bltteu. They proved
that the snakes were directly poison-
ous.and that they carry faugs charged
with venom exactly like the cobra.
The open ocean is the home of the
sea snakes. They do uoteeven ascend
the rivers. Their favorite haunts are
the arms of the sea, which separate
the Islands of China, India and the
south Pacific seas. They don't stay
near the shores, but remain at some
distance from the land. They are luca-
pable of much movement on land, and
after wriggling about and biting sav-
agely they will stay still till they die.
They are found In many parts of L: niversity of Paris was founded by

they were first made and how they
came to be used or even give the mat-

Mortals How to Make Bread.
Mau has not always eaten the fine
wheaten bread which Is so frequently
served today, and yet It would be uec-
essary to go far back into prehistoric
times to tine the period in which some
kind of bread was not baked. Sarah,
who cooked for Abraham. the "father
of nntiteats," matte bread just as her
ancestor; had made It for huudreds
of years before her time. She prepared
a paste of flour and water and, having
shaped it Into round, flat pieces, buried
it in the ashes of the hearth. It was
many years before the Jewish people
knew any other kited of bread, although
there were times when these flat cakes
were baktel upon the gridiron until
they were dry and brittle euough to be
broken by the hand.
According to tradition, it was Pau-
tbe goal with the face and legs of a goat
-who first taight mortals how to rnake
bread. .According to the sante authori-
ty, it was the goddess Ceres who taught
the (iret;,s hew to cultivate corn and
Megalarte :11(11 Mtgttiomaze who in-
structed them in the art of kneading
flour and baking loaves in ovens. So
successful wore their pupils, however,
that at one nine no less than seventy-
two kinds of bread were evolved out
of v:u•ions eent!:inatlons of milk, oil,
honey, chew,' :Ind wine with the flour
of that. peri
For a very long time the Romans
were enters of gruel, the art of parch-
Ins; cern and of converting it into flour

England's naval supremacy began in

130 vessels, carrying 2,500 cannon and
30,000 nae', while the English navy
consisted of but fifty vessels no bigger
than yachts and thirty of the queen's
ships. When the conflict was over the
Spaniards had lost eighty ships and
10,000 wen. A medal struck to com-

ARTIFICIAL EYES.
The Ftrxt Ones Mnde Were Worn
Outride the Socket.
As early as 500 B. C. artificial eyes
were made by the priests of Rome and
Egypt, who practiced as physicians and
surgeons. Their methods of eye wak-
ing are thus described: On nl strip of
flesh tinted linen, two and a quarter
by one and a quarter Inches, the flat
side of a piece of earthenware, model-
ed life size and painted to represent
the human eye and eyelids, was ce-
mented. This linen, coated on the oth-
er side with some adhesive substance,
was placed over the eyehole and press-
ed clown. At brief, the artificial eye
was worn outside the socket and,
though a clumsy substitute, was prob-
ably appreciated by the Romans and
Egyptians. tin
In us. I
g5 p the ruins u s of Pompeii,
destroyed in 79 A. D., an eye of this
description was discovered.
Not until the sixteenth century do
we hear of eyes at ali like those of
today -that is, worn inside the socket.
A. French surgeon, one Autbroise Pare,
invented three artificial eyes. One con-
sisted of an oval plate covered with'
soft leather, on which an eye was
painted. It was attached to the head
by a strong steel band. It could have
been neither sightly nor comfortable.
The second device and the first known
in history to be wore inside the socket
consisted of a hollow globe of gold,
deftly enameled. The third eye devised
by this ingenious gentleman was a
shell pattern eye, much like that in
use today, except that it was of gold
and enamel.
fare's inventions were followed by
eyes of paiuted porcelains and colored
pearl white, which became very pop-
ular. They were succeeded by eyes of
glass, which soon took the place of all
others and command popular favor to
this day.
Glass eyes were invented about the
year 1571) and were crude productions
of inferior workmanship, the iris and
pupil being band painted in a fair
from lifelike manner. Shakespeare
mentions glass eyes in "Icing Lear,"
where the king advises the blinded
traitor Gloucester to "gel thee glass
eyes anti seem to see."
QUEER OLD RUSSIA.
The Firing of Moscow In the Time of
Ivan the Terrible.
Oue who traveled through Russia in
l698 wrote In Latin an interesting ac-
count of what he saw. This was aft-
erward translated into English in part
as follows: "The Muscovites are gener-
ally of a very strong constitution, both
very tall and bulky. Above one-half of
the year is taken up with their fasts,
when the common people feed upon
nothing else but cabbage and cucum-
bers, and these raw, only pickled." The
writer, Henry Wllliaw Ludolf, has
leanings toward vegetarianism, for be
added, "This is an evident sign of their
natural vigor, though it must also be
allowed that they promote the digestion
by the brandy and leeks which they
use in large quantities, and questionless
correct the viscous humors arising in
the stomach by such indigestible uour-
ishntcnts."
Giles Fletcher, an English traveler,
saw Moseow fired by au army of Tar-
tars In 1:,71 In the absence of Czar
Ivan the Terrible. IIe writes, "There
was nothing but whirlwinds and such
a noise ns though the heavens would
have fallen." According to Fletcher,
numerous persons were burned- to
death, while crowds struggling to es-
cape from the flames met, and the ensu-
ing crush resulted in thousands of fa-
talities.
lie asserts that "there perished at
that time by the fire and the press the
number of 800,000 people or more."
This estimate, of course, was excessive.
As a means of getting rid of the dead
bodies, says Fletcher, the Czar Ivan,
ordered them on his return to be
thrown into the Moskva, and the
corpses dammed the deep and rapid
river and caused it to overtime' its
banks.
"Counselor Therefore."
Sergeant Kelly, a celebrity of the
Irish bar, bad a remakable habit of
drawing conclusions directly at vari-
ance with his premises and- was con-
sequently uieltnauned "Counselor There-
fore." In court on one occasion he
thus addressed the jury: -rile case is
so clear, gentlemen, that you cauuot
possibly misunderstand it, and 1 should
pay your understandings a very poor
compliment If I dwelt upon It for an-
other minute. Therefore I shall at
once proceed to explain it to you as
minutely as possible."
A Mohammedan Custom.
The Mohammedans bare the custom,
when they receive n present, of thank-
ing God first, then the giver. If you do
them a favor they will say, "I thank
God for your kindness to me." Some
may comply rather thoughtlessly with
this custom, which they have inherited
from their fathers, but many certainly
say it with their Whole heart.

Study the child, find out what his
capabilities are and show him that you
take au interest in him.
Let the ehlldren see how ugly low
ideals aro and then encourage them to
study the lives of great men.
The whole life and future usefulness
of a child depend largely on the way
his mind is trained at school.
Many :t child's life is ruined by hav-
ing parents or teachers who do not take
the trouble to understand his capa-

It is more important for the mother
to superintend her sou's reading than
to see that he wears the latest thing in
collars.
The character depends upon the
ideals, and tite ideals are the standard
which the parent or teacher sets before
the child.

The lover Grove Meeting.
The county seat meeting at Inver
Grove on Thursday evening was a
decided success, the speakers being
Senator Schaller and Ernest Otte.
The consensus of opinion was that
the voters and taxpayers of that
vicinity were with Hastings, not-
withstanding the fact that many of
them had been misled and duped by
falsified statements and arguments
made by the Northfield -Farmington
gang as regards our jail and an
overburdensome tax to be placed
upon the county. The reception
accorded the speakers was of the
most cordial nature, and a very
friendly spirit was manifested by
those in attendance.
The Citizens' Meeting.
The meeting at the courthouse on
Tuesday evening was attended by a
large and enthusiastic gathering, the
hall being filled to its utmost capaci-
ty. Mayor Gall presided, and Sena-
tor Schaller spoke at considerable
length upon the question of county
seat removal and the fabulous state-
ments made by the Northfield -Farm-
ington- gang. It was an eloquent ef-
fort. An adjourned meeting will be
held on Monday evening, when Wil-
liam Hodgson will speak upon the
proposed water works and the new
city charter, -

—That's what a prominent
druggist said of Scott's
Emulsion a short time
ago. As a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in connec-
tion with Scott's Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional not e. From
infancy to old age Scott's
Emulsion offers, a reliable
means of remedying im-
proper and weak develop-
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The action of
Scott's Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment—thind of nourish-
ment that cannot be ob-
tained in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain Scott's
Emulsion and gather good
from it.

♦a Old English Custom.
The nomination of sheriffs according
to the present mode dates from 1461.
The "shire reeve" was first appointed
by Alfred the,ilreat to assist the alder-
men and the bishop in the discharge of
their judicial functions iu the coun-
ties. In Edward IlI.'s reign It was en-
acted that they should be "ordained on
the morrow of All Souls by the chan-
cellor, treasurer and chief baron of the
exchequer." The only instance of a fe-
male sheriff Is that of Anne, countess
of Pembroke, who on the death of her
father, the Earl of Cumberland, with-
out male heirs in 1648, succeeded to the
office In Westmorland and attended the
judges to Appleby.
Practical Bye Wash,
A little salt and water used as an eye
weal] will cleanse and strengthen in-
flamed lashes and rest tired eyes. It is
safe to use It at any time that Irrita-
tion is felt. A New York surgeon pre-
scribes the ocean for bad eyes, partic-
ularly young eyes. "Get off," be says,
"whenever you can and let the salt
and the sea breeze wash and blow
around your eyes. It will do them
good. It will dislodge the germs of
disease, for the air breathed by half
the world 1s germ laden, and sore eyes
are more quickly caught than small-
pox and more fatal. It will brighten
and strengthen them and prolong their
beauty and usefulness."

"It pays to be a mourner in St, P.
tersburg, and there are agencies which
employ great numbers of vagrants and
tramps for the purpose," says a welter.
"These agencies supply suitable cloth-
ing and pocket handkerchiefs --every-
thing, in fact, except boots, which the
tramp must show on hie feet, or he
will not be hired. When there is a
more or less important funeral the
tramps gather at the Nikolskl market
and are selected by an employee of the
agency. The wage for the occasion,
with tips, generally equals about 3
shillings."—London Mall.
Popes and Their Beards.
If we are to believe the old proverb,
prophets have always had beard') for
the faithful to swear by. Not so with
the popes. From the time of Bt. Peter
down to the year 1158 the popes all
wore full beards, but for the next four
centuries they were cleanly shaven.
Then came a period of two centuries
in which they again wore the beard,
but from'the year 1700 until the pres-
ent time the smooth face alone has
been seen in the papal line.

Cutover Land. lnvtte Settlement In
Western Washington,
Few people realize the rapidity with
which the forests of this country are dis-
appearing. The lumbermen of Maine.
Michigan, and Minnesota either have
sought new fields of operation. or very
soon will have to do so They are turn-
ing to the immense pine forests of Idaho
or the timbered slopes of the Cascade
Stounutins, which at one time seemed to
offer an absolutely inexhaustible supply.
Even these forests, however. are begin-
ning to recede from the shores of Puget
Sound, before the advance of the lumber -
man's axe. Already vast tracts of land
once covered with a dense growth of tim-
ber are now stripped of almost all their
merchantable trees. These cut -over bands
are enriched by the decaying vegetation
of centuries. and cannot be excelled for
fertility. True. the stumps remain in
the ground, making it practically impos-
sible to convert them into large fields.

they can be put with very gre..t profit.
They can be sown to pasture. and in the
mild salubrious climate of the Puget
Sound district dairying can be carried un
with great advantage; the same is true of
truck gardening, while cherries and vine
fruits. as well as hops, all flourish in this
region. Nor should the fact be overlook-
ed that the city of Seattle with its grow-

TWO ALPHABET LETTERS.
.4" sad "W" Comparatively Recen
Additions to the List.
It is a fact, not so well known hu
that it may be said to be curious, tha
the letters j and w are modern alit
time to our alphabet. The letter
only came Into general use during th
time of the commonwealth, say be
tween 1649 and 1658. From 1630 t
1646 its use is exceedingly rare, and
have never yet seen a book printed
prior to 1652 in which it appeared.
In the century immediately preceding
the seventeenth it became the fashion
to tail the last i when Roman numerals
were used, as in this example, vlij for
8 or xij in place of 12. This fashion
still lingers, but only iu physicians'
prescriptions, I believe. Where the
French use j it has the power of s as
we use It in the word "vls!ou." What
nation was the first to use it as a new
letter Is an Interesting but perhaps un-
answerable query.
In a like manner the printers and
language makers of the latter part of
the sixteenth century began to recog-
nize the fact that there was a sound in
spoken English which was without a
representative in the shape of an al-
phabetical sign or character, as in the
first sound in the word "wet."
Prior to that time it had always been
spelled ae "vet," the v having the long
sound of n or of two u's together. In
order to convey an idea of the new
sound they began to spell such words
as "wet," "weather." "web," etc., with
two u's, and as the u of that date
was a typical v the three words above
looked like this: "Vvet," "vveather,"
"vveb."
After awhile the typefounders recog-
nized the fact that the double u had
come to stay, so they joined the two
u's together and made the character
now so well known as W. I have one
book in which three forms of the w
are given. The first is an old double
v (vv); the next is one in which the
last stroke of the first v crosses the
first stroke of the second, and the
third is the common w we use today.

THE LOVERS' CANDLES.
A■ Old Courtship Custom That Still
Prevails /n Poland.
t i A quaint old superstition Is to this
t ; day held In Poland to the effect that
' two lighted candles set afloat ou the
J ' river by two lovers will by their con-
e duct foretell if the course of true love
- 1 will run smooth or otherwise.
o The "lovers' candles" are launched
I at a very pretty water fete that takes
place every summer on that part of the
Vistula which runs through Poland. It
commences at sunset. The river Is
thronged with a procession of little
boats containing masked ladies and
gentlemen. Each person carries two
wreaths and two candies, the latter
representing the person carrying them
and the object of his or her affections.
They are lighted, fixed firmly in the
center of the wreaths and laid side by
side In the water. Should they float
down the river close together it is a
sign that their Ilves should be united.
Should they drift away from each oth-
er it 1s a sign that the lovers will be
parted, and should they only drift
asunder for a little way and farther on
come together again it is n sign that
the loved ones will only be parted for
a tirne and all come right in the end.
There is much method and order about
the arrangement of this procession.
The boats glide along in rows, so many
abreast, and after the first row have
proved their wreaths they move away
to the sides and the others eome for-
ward in succession. The river is well
Illuminated, and a large concourse of
people assembles to watch the pro-
ceedings. The scene is a charming one
and reminds one rnore of fairyland
than of anything else.
GREAT VOYAGERS.
As a General Rule, They Came From
Ike Smaller Countrie.,
Portugal is a small country, with a
land area one-third less than the state
of New York, but it has turned out in
its time celebrated navigators, Cabral
and Da Souza among them.
It is a somewhat peculiar circum-
stance in the history of ocean naviga-
tion that the chief navigators of Eu-
rope have usually been natives of
minor kingdoms and without the ad-
vantages which would naturally accrue
to a representative of one of the larger
governments,
Christopher Columbus, as every
schoolboy knows, was a native of
Genoa at the time when the Italian
peninsula was subdivided among nu-
merous petty governments. John
Cabot was a Venetian, who sailed in
the service of England, as Columbus
bad sailed in the service of Spain.
Amerigo Vespucci was a Florentine.
who sailed originally in the service of
Spain and afterward transferred him-
self to the Portuguese service and
then went back to the Spanish service
for a second time.
Vitus Bering, atter whom Bering
strait was called, was a Dane by
birth, who served under the naval
flag of Russia. Magellan, atter whom
Magellan strait was named, was a na-
tive of AIemtejo, in Portugal, and was
the first to complete the circumnaviga-
tion of the globe, in 1522.
Verazzani was a Florentine, whose
voyages of discovery were undertaken
under the protection of the flag of
France. Hendrik Hudson was an
Englishman, and it seems surprising to
many persons in this day familiar with
the pre-eminence of England as a mari-
time nation that he should have been
in the service of the government of
Holland when he discovered Manhat-
tan Island.

There are some persons who cannot

them. A "friend" acquainted with

plied Sniggins. "I have always moved."

MATELESS PIGEONS.
Carlon■ Provision of Nature to End
'''heir Solitude.
"Pigeons are mouogamous," said a
raiser of those birds for market, "and
the female lays but two eggs. One of
these is always the egg from which a
male is hatched, and the other heloses
the future female. If by any accident
a cock pigeon loses Its mate or a hen
pigeon becomes widowed the sympa-
thies of the entire cot go out to the
afflicted brother or sister. If it should
so happen that a cock should lose his
mate and a hen hers, so that they are
both mateless at the same time, the af-
flicted pair soon forget their grief in a
new lite partnership, and all is serene.
"But 1f there Is a widower in the cot
and no convenient widow for him to
take to mate, or if there is a widow for
whom no widower pigeon is on hand,
something must be done to fill the va-
cancy. Upon the first hen pigeon to
neat after the vacancy occurs falls the
important duty. If she hasn't hatched

ENORMOUS FGSSIL BONES.
Lizard. Three Ti.ues the Size of the
Largest i:lepii tat and a Turtle
Whose Shell Looked Like n Hal.
The Remarkable Plated Liaised.
The belief in a race of giants was
once almost uuiv:rsal. Even today
large skeletons whan found are some-
times reported as belug those of giant
human beings. This was especially
true of the period abut the tenth and
eleventh centuries, and in the latter a
inert amazing discovery was reported,
which threw the scientific world of the
time into great excitement. It was said
that the b:ady of Pallas, the son of
Evander, had been discovered beneath
the tomb of the Emperor Henry III.
The bones were enormous and proved
to have belonged to a 'huge tossli ele-
phant. As late as the fifteenth century
a war or words was waged over a find
of large bon;., one party claiming that
they belonged to the giant Teutobochus.
In 15:+7 a giant was discovered In
Switzerland. The council of Lucerne
requested a learned scientific man, Pro-
fessor Felix Plater of Basel, to report
upon it, and be not only announced the
hones as part of a human giant, but
made a complete restoration, showing
the man twenty feet high, which the
proud city adopttl as an ancestor in
the arms of the eommonwealth. Unfor-
tunately for the theory and much to the
discomfiture of the people who bad
raised to n high pinnacle this mighty
ancestor. It was found to be the re-
mains of an elephant.
yearly all the mastodon finds were
attributed to giants, but there is no evi-
dence that a human giant ever existed
over eight feet In height, and it is ex-
tremely doubtful If this height was
ever attained.
Giants other than human are very
common in ail branches of the animal
kingdom—giants in every sense when
compared to their pygmy representa-
tives of today. Some years ago some
laborers in the Settalik hills of India
were engaged upon a government
work when they came upon the re-
mains of a turtle that proved beyond
question that these animals bad their
giants in the days of old. The shell
which the then exposed might have
been used as a shelter for several men,
and at first, before its bony nature
was observed, it was thought by the
natives to be a hut of some kind. For-
tunately the bones were uninjured, and
they were taken out and removed to
the British museum, where a complete
restoration of the animal may be seen.
The length of the turtle was ten feet,
its horizontal circumference twenty -
live feet and Its girth fifteen feet, but
it was estimated by scientists that
this was not an adult and that when
fully grown this huge creature would
display a dome -like back eight or nine
feet high, giving a total length of
twenty feet.
One of the common animals in egaa-
torial South America and in Central
America is the lizard iguana, which
attains a length of four or five feet
and is considered rather large, but
it was a pygmy when compared to an
ancestor that once wandered over Eng-
land and various portions of the world.
A number of years ago some working-
men were excavating and blasting in
a quarry near Maidstone, England, when
some bones were uncovered that caus-
ed profound astonishment on the part
of the finders. The skeleton was per-
fect, and as it was lifted out, bone by
bone, their amazement increased, and
the news was spread all over the coun-
try, attracting large numbers of peo-
ple. When tate bones were placed in
their proper position they were found
to be the skeleton of a gigantic lizard
that when alive must have been three
times as bulky as the largest living ele-
phant and stood upon its hind legs like
a kangaroo, tearing down branches
from the highest trees. Such an ani -
her eggs yet she promptly dumps one m
of the two out of the nest. Site never an
makes a mistake in evicting the right th
one. If a widow Is to be provided for,
the hen throws out the egg containing b
her future daughter; If a widower is fo
pining for a mate she disposes of the igu
son egg. If she has hatched her egg ba

GLASS OF THE ANCIENTS.
The Blowers of Thebes Were Expert.
Many Centuries Ago.
The glassblowers of ancient Thebes
are known to have been as proficient
in that particular art as Is the most
scientific craftsman of the same trade
of the present day after a lapse of
forty centuries of se called "progress."
They are well acquainted with the
art of staining glass and are known to
have produced that commodity in
great profusion and perfection. Ros-
selinl gives au Illustration of a piece of
stained glass known to be 4,000 years
old, both in tint and design. In this
case the color is struck through the
vitrified structure, and he mentions de-
signs struck entirely In pieces from a
half ouch to three-quarters of an Inch
thick, the color being perfectly incor-
porated with the structure of the piece
and exactly the same on both the ob-
verse and reverse sides.
The priests of Ptah at Mempbit were
adepts in the giassmakcr'a art, and not
only did ey:have hctories for mann- -
facturing the common crystal variety,
but they bad learned tho vitrifying of
the different colors and the imitation
of precious stones to perfection. Their
imitations of the amethyst and of the
various other colored gents were so
true to nature that evert now, after
they have lain in the desert sands from
2,000 to 4,000 years, It takes an expert
to distinguish the- genuine article from
the spurious. It has been shown that,
besides being experts in glassmaking
and glass coloring, they used the dia-
mond in cutting and engraving glass.
In the British museum there is a beau-
tiful piece of stained glass, with an
engraved emblazonment of tho mon-
arch Thothmes III., who lived 8,400

THE ATMOSPHERE.
First Attempt to Wroth 1t Wu Made
by Aristotle.
If we are to believe both legend and
history. the first attempt to weigh air
was that made by Aristotle, the great
Greek philosopher of the fifth century.
He first weighed au empty goatskin
bag and then inflated It and again put
it in the balances, and because be
found no difference in weight under
the two conditions announced to the
world that air was a substance wholly
without_ weight.
With modern laboratory apparatus
most any high school scholar can dem-
onstrate the fact that a flask of ten
cubic inches capacity weighs fully
three grains more when filled with air
than it does after being placed under
the exhaust of an air pump. The nu-
merous experiments that have been
made on the weight of air warrant the
scientists in announcing that the
weight of the whole terrestrial atmos-
phere is about equal to that of a solid
copper ball sixty-two miles in diameter. ,
The philosophers have also shown that
the weight of the atmosphere must be
limited to where gravity overcomes the
centrifugal force. If it were of equal
density throughout its height above the
earth, it could not extend a greater alti-
tude than 27,$18 feet, which would
leave about 1,200 feet of Mount Ever-
est sticking out above the atmosphere.
It is a well known fact, however, that
air loses its weight and density as we
ascend from the sea level, and calcula-
tions which have been made on that
basis go to show that there may be a
stratum 0f very thin air at a height of
21,000 miles,
FRANCE AND FRANKLIN.
The Honors Paid to an Allen Citizen
by Her People.
To the sight of the world Franklin
came as the agent of certain revolted
colonies of England to Seek material
aid to sustain the hard putlhed rebel-
lion, but to the enlightened eye of his-
tory he Is au envoy front the new world
to the old, addressing to its half nwak-
ened heart and conscience the soul
stirring invitation to be free. No fitter
choice was ever made by any nation in
any age. There was too heavy a sea
running to have any incompetence on
the quarter deck,
An interest which we call scarcely
comprehend was taken In that day in
natural science. Franklin was by uni-
versal consent the greatest natural
philosopher of bit time. IIo was hailed
as the confidant of nature, the play-
mate of lightning, a Prometheus un-
punished. The brightest constructive
and critical energies of the hest minds
were devoted to the solution of politi-
cal problems, ana-llere;-taey sate, was a
man who had founded many states up-
on the principles of abstract justice
and had consolidated them at last
into a superb model republic, for this
hasty generalization had seized the for-
eign mind, always too apt to regard
leaders instead of masses, and It was
long before the millions of Americans
got their due abroad. -
Thus it came that the great heart of
liberal France went out at once in a
quick rush of welcome to Franklin. He
was the point that attracted the over-
charged electricity of that vast and
stormy mass of active thought. He be-
came the talk of the town. They made
songs about bin. They published more
than 150 engravings of him, so that his
far cap and spectacles became as fa-
miliar as the face of the king on the
louts d'or. The pit rose when he en-
tered a theater. These are not trivial
details. Those spontaneous bonors paid
to an alien citizen by a people so long
the victims of degrading tutelage show-
ed the progress they had made toward
liberty. In honoring him they honored
themselves. They vaguely felt he was
fighting their battle. They read in his
serene and noble countenance the
promise of better times.—John Bay's
"Franklin in France" in Century.
I Kingstey's "Westward Ho."
Kingsley wrote "Westward Ho" to
the booming of guns in the Crimea.
The country was ablaze with excite-
ment at the news which came—the
storming of the heights of Alma and
the charge of the Light brigade. Binge-
' ley longed to be at the war. "This
war," he said, "would have made me
half mad 1f I had let it. It seemed so
dreadful to hear of those Alma heights
being taken and not be there. but God
knows best, and I suppose I am not fit
for such brave work.
"But I can fight with my pen still

of that), but lu writing books which
make others fight This one 1s to he
called 'Westward Ho."'
"Westward Ido" was written in 1854,
when Kingsley was thirty-five. He
bad broken down and gone to Devon-
shire for his health. He had gazed on
the waters which witnessed "the ter-
rible and glorious pageant" of "the
bright days of July, 1588, when the
Spanish armada ventured slowly past

A PUGET SOUND NAME.
Puyallup and the Experience of Me
Man Responsible For It,
The name Puyallup is of Indian ori-
gin, as old as the memory of the white
man. In "Pioneer Reminiscences of
Puget Sound" the author, Mr. Meeker,
says that be accepts the odium of in-
flicting that name on suffering genera-
tions by platting a few blocks of land
into village loth and recording them
under the (tame Puyallup. He men-
tions incidentally that he has suffered
from it.
The first time I went east after the
town was named and said to a friend
in New York that our town was nam-
ed Puyallup he seemed startled.
"Named what?"
"Psyallup," said I.
"That's a jawbreaker," came the re-
sponse. "How do you spell it?"
"P -u -y -a -l -l -u -p," I said.
"Let me see, how did you say you
pronounced it?"
Pouting out my lips like a veritable
Slwaah and emphasiting every letter
and syllable so as to bring out the
Peuw for Puy and the strong empha-
sis on the al and cracking my lips to-
gether to cut off the lup, I finally drill-
ed my friend so that he could pro-
nounce the word, yet fell ahort of the
elegance of the scientific pronuncia-
tion.
Then when I crossed the Atlantic
and encountered the factors of the hop
trade in London and was bidden as a
guest to a dinner to introduce me to
the assembled bop merchants, when 1
saw a troubled look overshadow the
face of my friend who was to intro-
duce me I knew what was troubling
him, and my sympathy went out to
ban.
"Let me introduce to you my Ameri-
can friend from"—he began boldly and
then hesitated—"my friend from Amer-
ica," he continued, and then turned to
me with an imploring look and blurted
out:
"I hay, Mr. Meeker, I cawn't remem-
ber that name. What is it?"
But when letters began to come to
me addressed "Peulope," "Polly -up,"
"Pull -all -up," "Pesci-a-loop" and final-
ly "Pay -all -up," then my cup of sorrow
was full. I am sure, however, that
there will never be but one Puyallup.

The Preparation.
William O'Brien in his "Recollect-

Recolleotions" tells this story of Dr. Coke, the
archbishop of Cashel: "Once on one of
his examinations of the children for
confirmation the archbishop put to a
little girl the question from the cate-
chism, 'What is the preparation for
matrimony?' The little one blushed
and giggled and put the corner of her
bib in her mouth by way of answer.
The question was repeated. 'Oh, sure,
your lordship knows it yourself,' was
the timid reply. 'Yes, but you must tell
me, my child. What is the preparation
for matrimony?' 'Well, my lord, a lit-
tle courting, of course,' at last came
the reluctant answer from amid a
rosary of blushes."

TRICK WITH DOMINOES.
A Feat That Will Puzzle Those Not
In the Secret.
An interesting feat can be performed
with the dominoes, which the operator
announces as follows: "I will lay the
dominoes in a line, one beside another,
lying on their faces and making one
black line. Now I will go into the nest
room, with my eyes as closely covered
as you may desire. In my absence you
may take from the line any number of
dominoes you please provided you take
them from that end which is now at
my right hand and place them at the
opposite end, so that, except for the
change In the places of the piece, the
line is just the same as before. On my
return, without unbandaging my eyes,
I will tell you the number transported
from one end to the other. I will do
more. From the midst of these domi-
noes, of which you have changed the
position, I will draw one which, by the
addition of its spots, will tell you ex-
actly the number which you took from
right to left. After they have made the
change count with your fingers—if your
eyes are bandaged—the dominoes from
left to right as far as the thirteenth.
The spots on thio thirteenth will inva-
riably represent the number of domi-
noes whose position has been altered.
But in forming the line originally you
must have arranged the first thirteen
dominoes, beginning at the left, so that
the spots on the first form the number
12, of the second 11, of the third 10,
and so on up to a doubie blantlrtor tttc-
last and thirteenth. You place the oth-
er dominoes afterward in the order in
which they happen to present them-
selves.,.

The Belcher Artesian Well.
The Belcher well in St Louis is one
of the famous artesian wells of the
world The boring of it was begun in
the spring of 1849 by William H. Bel-

river a few blocks north of where the
Ends bridge now is. After the expendi-
ture of $10,000 the well was in 1854
driven to a depth -of 2,199 feet, where a
flow of seventy-five gallons a minute
was struck, but the water proved to be
so impregnated with mineral matter
that It was unfit for use in the sugar
refinery, for which Mr. Belcher wanted

IRVING TODD a SON.
SATURDAY MARCH 24th, 1900.
The 'Proposed Water Works.
A serious question for the voter at
the coming election is to decide
whether to cast his ballot for or
against the $50,000 bond issue for the
purpose of building water works. As
to their desirability there can be no
doubt. A good supply ot running
water in a house is probably not an
absolute necessity, but it is a great
convenience, adding immeasurably to
the health and comforts of life. It
makes it easier to keep clean and
wholesome bodies. The inconven-
ience of regular bathing without a
. tub is so great that this most neces-
sary hygenic duty is neglected because
of its inconvenience. There areother
conveniences even more essential to
good health, especially in the case of
sickness, that we cannot have without
both water and drainage. This
feature is recognized in Hastings to
the extent that most people who can
afford it have, at a cost of three or
four times their share of a general
system, arranged a supply for their
houses, pumping into a tank with
wind mills, gasoline engines, or by
hand a limited amount of water.
This is both unsatisfactory and
expensive.
The pollution of wells .goes on so
slowly in small cities that it isscarce-
ly notieeable,but the deposits in vaults
and cesspools constantly though slow-
ly permeate our wells.' :Ind in time
there will not be an absolutely pure
one in the town, for it is a well estab-
lished fact that, though the earth will
purify such material for a time, there
is a limit to the amount and to the
time that it will do so without a rest.
Another necessity for water works
is the protection against fires. With
the requisite number of hydrants, and
a direct pressure from an elevated
tank, water could be thrown over the
top of any building in the settled por-
tion of the city, using not to exceed
five hundred feet of hose. This
would not only save the maintenance
of an engine. its two men and a team,
now costing in wages $1.320 a year,
but also a coal bill and repairs
amounting to perhaps 8200 more.
Not only this, it would enable the
firemen to make a run with a light
hose reel in one-fourth the time it
now takes with a heavy steamer and
hose carts, and there would be an un-
limited supply of water within easy
reach. This increased protection
would entitle us to a considerable re-
duction in insurance premiums. An
effort was made several years ago to
determine what this would amount to
and, after consulting with the rate
making agent of the different com-
panies, it was estimated to beat least
$2,500 per year. This does not repre-
sent the entire saving under this head,
as all property is not insured, and
none for its full value. As the pro-
portion of property not insured is al-
most if not quite as much ns that in-
sured, therefore the total saving in
premiums and risks would be $5,000,
which with the saving at the engine
house heretofore referred amounts to
$6,500.
The next question to consider is
how much ground could we cover
with $50,000, the amount available
under the law. In the first place we
'would not have to build a power
-house nor equip it nor dig a well, as
we have assurances from 31r.Seymour
Carter that he would be willing to
pump the water from his well at the
Gardner 31ill at reasonable rates for
the sake of the improvement. Then the
entire $50,000, with the exception of
$4,000 for the tower and tank, would
be available for mains and hydrants.
Forty hydrants could be put in at an
average cost of $30, or $1,200, leav-
ing $44,800 for mains. Northfield
built six miles of mains in dirt and
one in rock, including pumping plant,
tower, and tank, for $48,000. River
Hastings. We believe that water
works can be installed here without
one cent of Dost to any one who does
not wish to use it in his house, the
expense comingout•of the savings on
fire risks, insurance premiums, and
fire department. Not only this, but
the ditches will be open, and if the
people on any street wieb to take
advantage of the opportunity they
can do so without any coat for ex-
cavation or filling. Sewer pipe only
costs from ten to tbirtycents per foot.
These facts are taken from the ex-
perience of cities in like circumstan-
ces, and can be verified by any one
who will take the trouble to call at
this office and look over their reports.
Every citizen should do all be can
to improve his city and make it more
pleasant to live in. We have many
natural and artificial advantages as a
residence city, and with good schools,
numerous churches, excellent drain-
age, and railroad facilities it should
become a favorite locality for the
homes of city people. We have been
informed that a certain capitalist of
St. Paul has stated that if the city
should put in water works be would
build a number of houses here at once.
There is one thought that should
appeal to the working man, and that
is if this work is undertaken there
need be no idle men next summer, as
fully one-third of the entire amount,
or over 816,000, will be paid out to
labor, and in addition a considerable
sum each year afterwards for exten-
sions, sewers, and plumbing.
To summarize, according to the ex-
perience of Northfield and River Falls,
we can build as follows:
Tower and tank .............$ 4,000
Forty hydrants 1,200
F.ieht miles of mains 44,800
Total. $50,000
interest at four per cent 2,000
The yearly savings are estimated
as follows:
On insurance premiums. $2,50u
On fire department 1.500
On fire risks not insured 2,500
income of plant above expense 1,500
Total.. $8,000
This means a saving of $6,000 to
the taxable property of Hastings
above the interest on $50,000, besides
the convenience and comfort which
we would get out of it.
Now we believe this is a conserve.
tive estimate, and that it will work
out just as outlined. For the benefit
of the doubtful ones we will say that
if it is only half true, if the amount
that can be built nod the amount that
can be saved is only half as much as
estimated, still it is a money saver,
and it is greatly to the interest of
every voter, whether he be a taxpay-
er or not, to vote in favor of the
proposition.

A MIRACLE OF NATURE.
The Wonderful Growth of the Aat-
lora of the Wapiti.
Wapiti antler growth is one of the
miracles of nature that we never cease
to consider a miracle. About the end ot
winter—that Is in mid-March—tate ant-
lers of the year before break off flush
with their base an inch or more above
the skull. Usually they are found close
together, showing that they fell nearly
at the same time.
At first the place of each antler is a
broad raw spot. In a few days It
shows a thick rounded pad or blood
gorged skin. This swells rapidly, and
in a fortnight the great bulbous fussy
horn beginning bas shot up to a hit
of several inches. At exactly the rlgbt
time, place and In just the right Aim -
tion a bump comes forth to be the foun-
dation of the brow tine. In a few more
days the ben tine is projected by the
invisible architect. In a month the
structure is nearly a foot high and all
enveloped in a turgid mass of feverish,
throbbing blood vessels—the scaffolding
and workmen of this surprising gtru '.
ture. Night and day the work is push-
ed with astounding speed, and in four
months this skyscraper is finished, n
wonderful structure indeed, for a seore
of nature's forces have toiled, a myriad
of Invisible workmen have done their
part, and an edifice that, according to
ordinary rules, should have taken a
lifetime is here rushed through to a
summer and all in absolute silence.
August sees the building done, but it
is still cluttered with scaffolding, The
supplies of blood at the base are re-
duced and finally discontinued. The
antler is no longer in vital touch with
the animal. It begins to die. The sen-
sltiveness leaves each part, the velvet
covering soon dies, cracks and peels,
and the stag assists the process of
clearing off the skin by scraping his
horns on the brushwood. Septenttser

HONEY AS A FOOD.
It In Nourishing and Saves Work For
the Digestive Organs.
Honey, which is described as "one of
nature's best foods," is the subject of
a report by the Ontario departrnent of
agriculture. In this it is polntea1 out
that it Is only within the past few cen-
turies that sugar has become known
and only within the last generation
that refined sugars have become so low
in price that they may be commonly
used in the poorest families. Former-
ly honey was the principal sweet. and
it was highly valued 3,000 years before
the first sugar refinery was built, "It
would add greatly to the health of the-
present generation," It 1s declared. "1f
honey could be at least partially re_
stored to its former place as n common
article of diet."
Excessive use of sugar brings in its
train a long list of Ills. When sugar
is taken Into the stomach it cannot be
assimilated until first changed by di-
gestion into grape sugar. Only toe,
often the overtaxed stomach fails prop-
erly to perform this digestion, and tbeu
come sour stomach and various phases
of indigestion and dyspepsia. In the
laboratory of the hive the honey has
been fully prepared by the bees for
prompt assimilation without taxing e-
ther stomach or the kidneys, 8o that
in eating honey the digestive machin-
ery is saved work and health Is ninth

tained.
Moreover, the same report says that
"in many cases It will be a real econo-
my to lessen the butter bill by letting
honey in part take Its place. One pound
of honey w111 go as far as a pound of
butter, and if both articles be of the
same quality the honey will cost the
less. Honey is strongly recommended
for children, while for persons of all

ed both by law and custom and must
not exceed a sum equal to $L70 in Unit-

ding Is invariably set for Thursday, the
festivities beginning on the previous
Monday and lasting four days, The
merrymaking is carried on by the men
and women separately, and each day
is distinguished by a change In cere-
monies. On no account will Turks al-

the table when celebrating a wedding.

commonplace set of people—retired In-
dian officers and others:" "He said that
be had purposely chosen such a home
1n order to avoid the mental excitement
of too much interesting conversation,
that be suffered greatly from insomnia
and that be found that when his even-
ings were spent in commonplace con-
versation, learning the news of the day
or taking part in a little music, he had
a better chance of sleeping."

Angelo -a Verdict.
Once a painter notorious for plagla-
rlgms executed a historical picture in
Which every figures of importance was
copied from some other artist, so that
very little remained to himself. It was
l shown to Michael Angelo by a friend,
who begged his opinion of it.. "Excel-
lently done," said Angelo, "only at the
day of judgment, when all bodies will
resume their own limbs again, I do not
know what will become of that histor-
ical painting, for there will be nothing
lett of it."

The Tramp,
The curse of the man who will not

Henry VIII.'s reign he was not allow-
ed to beg the bread that belonged to
honest folk, for a statute was made
by which the old and Impotent were
granted licenses to beg, and any one
found begging without one was sound-
ly flogged and sent home to his own
parish. In this way as many as a
hundred In one day in Elizabeth's
time were sent "back to The land."
The begging license seems to work
well enough abroad, where the row of
authorised beggars is a familiar sight
outside every church and where the
halt and maimed are seldom seen any-
where else. The rise of the vagrant In
England no doubt took place after the

FIRE AND AIR.
Tee Ancients Reeogataed the Inti-
mate nebulous Between Them.
The intimate relation between fire
and air was early recognized, seeing
that experience soon taught that air
was necessary for are. The experi-
ment of burning a eandle in a closed
vessel. now so familiar to every school-
boy. is a very old one, and the influ-
ence of a blast of aur on a furnace bad
beep probably noticed from a very re-
mote period. By some it was affirmed
to be the food of flre, while by others
the same belief ,vas embodied in the
phrase. "Air nourishes fire."
Again, it was long ago obeerved that
niter, a sieetauce well known to the
chemical philosophers of the past, could
produce Intense Ignition. It was hence
inferred that, since niter possessed this
property, !t necessarily followed that
the two eueetances resembled each oth-
er in composition. According to Rob-
ert Boyle, the air contained "volatile
niter." while Lord Bacon held that air
contained a "volatile, crude and windy
spirit." and thunder and lightning
were suppusecl to be due to the pres-
ence o( minute particles of this niter
diSuse,l through air.
The important bearing of such obser-
vations is due to the fact that oxygen
gas, which is one of the chief constitu-
ents of air and the one to which it
owes Its power of supporting combus-
tion, also f bole the largest elementary
constituent of niter and is likewise the
source of the power possessed by that
body of supporting combustion.
The actiuu of heat on metals in caus-
ing them to lose their metallic luster
had also not escaped notice, and Car-
dan, a philosopher who lived during
the sixteenth century, In noticing the
increase in weight that Lead undergoes
when heated in air, attributed it to the
gas in the alr, which feeds flame and
which rekindles a body presenting an
ignited point.
A Cautious Beet
A Scotsman went to an Engitsh race
meeting and boldly staked a sovereign.
Strangely enough, the horse he backed
proved a winner, and he went to the
"bookie" to claim his winnings. The
sporting man begrudgingly handed him
5 sovereigns. He looked at each one
very carefully before plating it in his
pocketbook. "Well," said the "bookie,"
with a snarl, "are you afraid they're
bad?"
"Oh, no," said the Scotsman, "but I
was jest lookin to mak' stere the bad

FACTS ABOUT MUSK.
Hew the Strong Perfume Is Obtained
and Its Various uses,
Although pure musk is not usually
relished by the delicate olfactories of
persons with eultivated sensibilities,
there is no odor so extenalvety used in
the compounding of perfumes. It is
obtainers from the musk deer, which
inhabits the mountain ranges of Tibet.
This animal is guiltier than the deer
of tide country, being about the size of
a calf. It is of a dark gray color and
has no bores. The odor for which 1t is
valuable Is a Quid secretion in a sac
on the underside of its body.
This is exposed to the air and when
dry is sent to the market. When first
obtained it is about the consistency of
honey and has a bitter, pungent taste.
It Is used as a medicine, but has more
value as a perfume. On account of the
persistency with which musk retains
its odor it is used as the groundwork
for other perfumes which are more
volatile. It is said that a single grain
of musk will perfume a room for
twenty years.
So strong Is 1t that it has been esti-
mated that 3,000 parts of a substance
in itself devoid of odor will become
permeated with the scent with one
part of Musk. It is In consequence
very valuable, and as it 1s difficult to
procure on account of the almost inac-
cessible haunts of the musk deer it is
quite expensive. Chemists have long
endeavored to procure an artificial
musk, but they hare not as yet been
successful.
THE HANDKERCHIEF,
It Had lt• Origin In Venice In the
Sixteenth Ceatary.
About tbe year 1540 au unknowu
Venetian lady first conceived the happy
idea of carrying a "fazzoletto," and it
was not ioug before her example was
widely followed throughout Italy. The
handkerchief then crossed the Alps into
France, wbere its use was immediately
adopted by the lords and ladles of
Henry Iles eourt.
The handkerchief of that period was
an article of the greatest luxury. It
was matte of the most costly fabrics
and was ornamented, with the rarest
embroideries. In the reign of Henry
III. It begins to be perfumed and re-
ceived the name of "tuouchoir de Ve-
nus." It was not until 1580 that the
handkerehlef made its way into Ger-
many, and then its use was long con -
tined to princes and persons of great
wealth. It was made the object of
sumptuary laws, and an edict publish-
ed at Dresden in 1595 forbade its use
by the people at large.
Slowly, but surely, however, the vul-
garization of the pocket handkerchief
has been accomplished, and today even
the humblest is superior in one im-
portant respect to Petrarch and Laura,
Dante and Beatrice, who, It is some-
what painful to think, lived in a pre -
handkerchief age.—Lon.cion Standard.
Some !forth German superatitioaa
If you are superstitious there are
many things you must not do. In north
Germany you must not spin during the
twelve nights of Christmas, lest you
should vvaik after your death, nor aft-
er sunset on Saturday, for then mice
will eat your work. Speaking of eat-
ing, If you want to have money and
luck all the year round you must not
fail to eat herrings on New Year's
day, nor, if you wish to be lucky, must
you rock an empty cradle, or spill salt
wantonly, or cross knives, or point at
the stare. If you leave a dirty cloth on
the table ovenaight you will make the
angels weep; if you point upward to
the rainbow you will make the angels'
feet bleed, and if you talk of cabbages
while looking at the moon you will
hurt the feelings of the man in it, who
was a cabbage stealer in bus salad days.

set- Wrank of the Waders and the Divers
deat of the Rattle lea.
The poor people who earn a precari-
ous livelihood by gathering amber on
the shores of the Baltic sea work only
in the roughest weather. When the
wind blows in from the sea, as it often
does with terrific violence, the bowlders
are tossed and tumbled at the bottom
and great quantities of sea wrack aro
washed up on the beach. This is the
harvest of the waders, for hidden in
the roots and branches of the seaweed
lumps of the precious gum may be
found
In other parts of the coast divers go
crawling on the bottom of the sea for
the lumps of amber hidden In seaweed
and under rocks. It is believed that
once a great pine forest flourished here
where the great billows roll aud that
amber is the gum exuded front the
trees, of which not a vestige remains.
The finds are very variable. The lar-
gest piece known, weighing eighteen
pounds, is in the Royal museum in Ber-
lin. The usual finds range from lumps
as big as a man's bead to particles like
grains of sand. The larger pieces are
found Jammed hi rocks or in tangles of
marine vegetation. Divers work from
four to five hours a day in all seasons,
except when tbe sea ts blocked with
lee. The work is so arduous that they
are bathed In perspiration even In the
coldest weather. For all their grinding
toil the Samland natives are happy in
their way and Increaise and multiply as

Fat is of great account
to a baby ; that is why
babies are fat. If your
baby is scrawny, Scott's
Emulsion is what he
wants. The healthy baby
stores as fat what it does
not need immediately for
bone and m uscle. Fat
babies are happy t hey do
not cry ; they are rich ;
their fat is laid up for
time of need. They are
happy because t hey are
comfortable. The fat sur-
rounds their little nerves
and cushions them. When
they are scrawny those
nerves are hurt at every
ungentle to uc h. They
delight in Scott's Emul-

SAPPHIRES

so stupid. Don't you see—you aear,
silly thing?" 811e laughed most heart-
lessly. "I wouldn't wear anybody else's
ring with yours—hut his."
As if that was extenuation. Matters
were.now twice as bad. I rove, It be-
ing very nearly dinner time anyway. I
looked down at Gabrielle,
"That is just it," said I, with for-
mality. "He Is the exception to every-
thing. I am wretched over this man's
continual presence here, Gabrielle, and
I waited until Gabrielle's little left I ask you not to wear his ring tonigbt
hand lay upon the hammock's edge, with mine. Leave one or the other at
home, please—whichever you prefer."
As I stalked down the veranda steps
I carried with me a picture of Ga-
brielle's bewitching, petulant face look-
ing up at me In hurt surprise.
"It's the dearest ring, John," she
called penitenUy, "the pearl one. Ours.
Thank you, dear."
Then as I turned ready to take her lu
my arms in the friendly screen of the
vines she rose and came to the steps,
her little flowery blue gown trailing.
"But I shall wear them both touight,
Mr. John Baden," she said, with pretty
mischief. "And you shall apologize
too."
"Never," said I, with dignity, and
came almost face to face with Gabri-
elle's mother Idling up from the gar-
den, looking a picture in white.
"What big, long words he uses:"
cried Gabrielle's mother gayly.
"Mrs. Jocelyn," said I, "if Gabrielle
becomes unmanageable will you marry
we?"
Mrs. Jocelyn has been a widow for
years.
"What commendable thrift for a
rainy day!" she said, smiling.
For some reason the question of the
white sapphire took on a significance
out of all proportion. As I drove to
Gabrielle's that evening our love, our
future, even her adorableness, which I
was never tired of reviewing, were of
less moment to me than whether or not
she would disregard my wishes about
the ring. It seemed to me 'one of those
straws which tell the wind which way
to blow." But I remembered with com-
fort that Gabrielle had an enchanting
habit of obstinacy up to the moment of
withdrawal in other people's favor. So
as I sat opposite her and her mother on
the way to the Holdons' I became com-
fortably, even triumphantly, sure that
there were no white sapphires in the
carriage.
When we went down to supper at
midnight Mr. Algernon Phelps joined
us with his unbearable manner of be-
ing wanted where, to be sure, he was
wanted by every one but me. Was be,
I wondered savagely, after we were
married to persist in these visits and
presents ou the strength of "when Ga-
brielle was six?" Then I watched Ga-
brielle feverishly while she drew off
the fingers of her gloves and tucked
them daintily and with pretty dellbera•
tion in her long, loose glove wrists.
The left band first, and there was my
modest band of pearls suiting her dell-
cate little hand to perfection. Then the
right hand, and there blazed the white
sapphires.
I looked away miserably—somewhere,
anywhere. When I came to analyze it
I did not care a continental about Mr.
Algernon Phelps' white sapphires. I
cared only that Gabrielle bad not cared
to please me.
"And the third one," Gabrielle was
saying, "is going to be that new
poppy figure. I've seen the favors for
that. They are—why, John, wbat Is
it?"
"Nothing." said I miserably. She had
not even done it to tease me purposely!
There would have been some balm of
bittersweet In that. My wishes had
been simply neglected and forgotten.
She did not even trouble to triumph In
having carried out her threat.
"Aren't you having a good time?"
murmured Gabrielle anxiously.
Really, this was almost obtuse. For
answer I stole one glance down at that
little right band and then buried my
glances furiously in my salad.
"Oh:" Gabrielle bad a fascinating
habit of starting a little laugh and
then thinking better of it. She did this
now and stopped to say In the softest
little voice:
"You think that I don't love you?"
"You know it," said I, morbidly.
"I do"—still more softly. Thls would
have been heaven had It not been for
that stupid ring.
"I love you so much," she went one,
that it hurts me to have a secret from
you. But I have had to—until tonight."
"With Mr. Phelps?" I wanted to
know, grimly. He was talking with
Mrs. Jocelyn and heard nothing.
"Yes," " sal
d Gabrielle, "and with
some one else,"
Not until I followed her glance did
my eye fall upon the glittering little
temptingly near, and then I slipped on
the hoop of pearls_ We had been en-
gaged almost two months, but it had
been a ringless engagement, because
Gabrielle said that a ring was extrava-
gant.
"John," she cried now, "why—oh,
you shouldn't!"
"But I should," I persisted. "Be-
sides, I doubt 1f betrothals are legal
without rings."
"I love pearls," said Gabrielle, but
/sere was a little pucker in her fore-
head that nature had set there to warn
me—and other men, alas—when she
was not quite pleased. I watched her
in secret alarm. In spite of her pro-
tests, then; she would have preferred a
diamond.
"No, I wouldn't," she said positively
when I said so. "Really, I wouldn't.
But I was wondering"—
"Wondering what?" demanded I, pal.
pitating.
"Everybody will have to know now,"
the truth came. "Everybody will see it.
on my finger."
"Well," said I in relief, "that's what
I want."
"Not right away—you know we said
not right away," said Gabrielle hastily.
I looked away through the vines of
the veranda and glowered at all the
sunny world. Gabrielle's "not right
away" was disquietingly elastic. She
had been using that phrase for two
months.
"I'11 tell you," she solved the matter
brightly, "when we go to places I
won't °wear it on this fiuger—for a little
while, you know, John. I'll just wear
it on this finger—for us."
Gabrielle was never so alluring, but I
hardened my heart.
"So," I said, without looking at her,
"the reason that you said a ring was
an extravagance was because you did
not want Mr. Algernon Phelps and the
rest of them to know. I hadn't thought
of that."
"Certainly it wasn't," flashed Gabri-
elle. "You are insanely suspicious,
John. Algernon Phelps:" she finished.
"Ile is quite old enough to be nay fa-
ther."
"He isn't old enough not to give you
presents," said I, "which you have no
right to accept."
Gabrielle looked at we in amaze-
ment. Well she might, for iii those
two months, despite the fact that I had
bitterly resented the continual presence
of big, devoted Mr. Algernon Phelps at
their house, I bad resolutely concealed
1t.
"John," she cried, "how ridiculous!
He is mother's friend."
"And In love with you," I grimly
supplemented.
Gabrielle laughed—a ringing, adora-
ble little laugh that made me wish our
' engagement had never come between
us. We were perfectly happy before
we were engaged.
"That's very funny," said Gabrielle
frankly. "He has given uie presents
e.nce I was six. However, that isn't
the point. I'll wear the ring on the
right fiuger—I mean on the right left
finger—really I will, dear. I'll wear it
to the Hoidons' tonight."
"Will you, sweetheart?" said I, paci-
fied, "and will you want to, Gabrielle?"
"0f course I want to wear it with
all my heart," she said simply.
She spread her two little hands on
her blue muslin gown and looked at
them, and then I caught sight of the
"`ber ring. She wore ou her right
haft h magnificently carved bit of
golh set with three exquisite white
sapphires.
"Gabrielle!" I cried. "Where"-
- She smiled at me serenely without
moving her hands,
"Mr. Phelps bought It this morning,"
she said. "I've been waiting for you
to notice it."
I sank to the depths of despair. It
was not only that , the ring was far
more beautiful than the little circlet of
pearls that I had selected, but it had
been brought to her by that man—the
great, devoted creature whom I liked
in
spite of hisfondness ess for Gabrielle—
on the very day that we had come Into
possession of our engagement ring.
"Isn't It beautiful?" Gabrielle ap-
pealed to me sweetly.
"It is," said I shortly.
Gabrielle looked first at one 'ring
and then at the other, with charming
1
Pa
rt ani
ty•
"Two new rings," she said musingly.
"Won't the girls envy me! What a
pity that I will have to wear gloves at
the Hoidens' tonight!"
"Gabrielle!" I cried. "Surely you
will never wear both rings today of all
days?"
"Why not?" Gabrielle wanted to
know wonderingly, "Oh, don't be
stupid!" she cried prettily. "Why, what
can you care for his ring, John? You
might as well object to my wearing my
baby locket that he gave me when I
was in pigtails. It's a beautiful ring—
not nearly so beautiful as ours, but
still beautiful, and I want to wear
them both."
Really this was going too far. That
"presents since I was six" matter
could not much longer be tolerated. No
man appears at a house morning, after-
noon and evening, as Mr. Algernon
Phelps appeared at the house of Gabri-
elle, in exactly the spirit in which he
came bearing presents to her when she
was six. And this final white sapphire
indignity was not to be borne.
"Gabrielle," I said, In what I be-
lieved to be my sternest though most
reasonable tone, "I cannot believe that
you will be guilty of the—the bad taste
of wearing both those rings tonight,
and I particularly wish you not to do
so."
Gabrielle thought for a moment, and
then she laughed, and then her pretty
lips set themselves in an unmistakable
llne, and her eyes met wine\fairly.
"John," she said, "I won't let you J2e
•
band of Gabrielle's mother. And on
the third finger of her left hand was an
exquisite ring of white sapphires and
diamonds.
Gabrielle was watching me.
"You dear," she murmured, "haven't
you guessed? Mr. Phelps brought her
the ring today, and he gave me mine
as a peace offering."
"They — you — they?" I wanted to
know.
"They didn't want both engagements
announced at once," said Gabrielle.
"That is why I didn't want to wear
!the pearls. But I don't care really,
John."
I looked over at pretty little Mrs.
Jocelyn sitting contentedly beside Mr.
Algernon Phelps and then down at
Gabrielle, who was laughing at me,
"Neither do I care," I said raptur-
ously.
Sensible.
That was both a kind and a wise man
who, when about to marry for the sec-
ond time, settled $10,000 upon his un-
married daughter. "I should like to
have her go on living at home," he said,
"but who can tell whether she and her
stepmother will be harmonious and
quite happy together? She shall feel
that she is free to go or stay." The
consequence was mutally happy rela-
tions, since both women knew there
was no dependence or necessity for
them to live in closer relations than
might prove agreeable.
There never was any party, faction,
sect or cabal whatsoever In which the
most ignorant were not the most vio-
lent, for a bee is not a busier animal
than a blockhead,—Pope.
THE PLANET URANUS.
Oddities a Voyage to This Gigantic
World Would Disclose.
If Uranu';, which Is a star of abou
the sixth magnitude, were a planet
like those little one. called asteroids,
which are being discovered by the
dozen every year, it could not have
much claim upon popular attention,
but Uranus is really a gigantic world,
more than sixty times as large as ours.
Its vast distance, about 1,700,000,000
miles from the earth, is what causes
It to look so small. Uranus Inas four
moons, which revolve backward in
their orbits—that is to say, they re-
volve from east to west around Uran-
us, while Uranus goes, like all the oth-
er planets, from west to east around
the sun. It Is believed that Uranus
rotates backward on its axis also.
Moreover, the axis of that great,
strange globe Iles in such a direction
that In the course of its year, which
is equal to eighty-four of our years.
the sun shines almost perpendicularly
first upon one pole and then upou the
other. Measured by our time stand-
ard, there are forty years of constant
daylight, followed by forty years of
unbroken night, around the poles of
Uranus. And the sun rises in the
west and sets 1n the east there. But
the sun looks very small when viewed
from Uranus—only one four -hundredth
as large as it appears to us. Still it
sheds upon that planet 1,500 times es
much light as the Lull moon sends to
the earth, so that daylight upon Uran-
us, while faint compared with the
blaze of a terrestrial noonday, is nev-
ertheless a very respectable kind of
illumination.
Flies anti Mala,
i "Plano playing will ,drlve flies from
Your apartments," declared a man who
expounds odd theories. "That sounds
t like a joke, and, of course, there are
some kinds of playing that will chase
human beings from a room, but seri-
ously I mean that music le objection-
able to insects—tin fact, all sounds an-
noy them.
Whoever saw flies In a boiler shop?
No one that I know of, becanse the vi-
brations caused by the continuous
Pounding are as deranging to the in-
sects as are the atmospheric disturb-
ances meting from electric fans. Ev-
ery one should be familiar with the in-
tensity of the vibrations produced by
the strings of piano, For Instance,
many persona, no doubt, have noticed
that a loose glass In a picture frame
will buzz when a certain note is struck.
Well, when the strength of the sound
wave which causes the ill fitting glass
to hum, though it may be a dozen feet
away, is multiplied a score of times in
a second, as is the case when a spirited
piano performance 1s In progress, the
effect of the vibrations on the extreme-
ly sensitive insects may be Imagined.
They simply can't stand a prolonged
sound."—Philadelphia Record.
CAKE AN OLD INSTITUTION,
The Ancients Made and Ate It, but 1t
Was a Simple Affair.
The ancients made cake, but it was
not the rich, highly seasoned and fla-
vored confection which o'e Indulge in
nowadays. They had plain cakes made
with flour and water, some of them
without a suspicion of sweet or flavor.
Some of them were not unlike our
plainest crackers and were often eaten
as we eat bread.
Wedding cake was an institution
among them, as with us, but the cake
was a
plata one anti was broken above
the head of the bride as she went to
her new home. This was a special fea-
ture of Roman marriages 2,000 years
ago. The breaking of the cake was
part of a solemn ceremony. All of the
cakes of ancient history are plain and
simple. It is only us we come down to
more modern times that we hear of
spices and fruits and all of the rich
and luxurious ingredients in which
present day eakemakers delight. In
Queen Elizabeth's time spice cakes and
buns were eaten at weddings. From
these the fashion and fancy grew for
all sorts of elaborate and deliciously
unwholesome combinations until there
seems to be a perpetual struggle for
something new and more unusual to
stir into the cake of the period.
Measuring Medicine.
Use a medicine giass with the amount
of each spoonful and drop marked
upon It. Teaspoonfuls and tablespoon-
fuls are always mentioned, but as
these vary in size it is not safe to rely
upon them. Drops, too, cannot be
properly measured without n glass.
Keep the medicine glass perfectly
clean. It should be washed out after
each dose, in readiness for the next
time. It is desirable that 1f the patient
Is to have medicine with n strong
smell, oils, etc., to keep a glass special-
ly for them, letting it soak In hot wa-
ter for half an hour after use to re-
move all disagreeable odor. It Is im-
possible to cleanse such a glass in a
few momenta. Wheel the medicine 1s
being poured out hold the label upper-
most in order that It may not become
stained with any drops escaping down
the side of the bottle.
Mozart and Bretsaer.
When Mozart was at the height of hls
fame he composed the music for Bretz-
ner's "Belmont and Konstanze" ("The
Abduction From the Seraglio") at the
request of the Emperor Joseph II. The
author of the drama was so angry at
this that he inserted the following no-
tice in the Leipziger Zeltung: "A cer-
tain fellow of the name of Mozart has
dared to misuse my drama, 'Belmont
and Konstanze,' for an opera text. I
hereby solemnly protest against this
invasion of my rights, and I reserve to
myself if further
s
Yprocedures. (Signed),
Christoph Friedrich Bretzner, author
of 'Rauschchen,' "
A Ground Rog Case.
"A ground hog case" is a case of
absolute necessity—one in which the
reward of perseverance is certain and
the
necessity for perseverance is im-
perative. Its origin is told in this sto-
ry: A boy was seen digging vigorously
with a grub hoe at the mouth of a hole
in which a ground hog bad taken ref-
uge. He was asked ifs he thought • he
would get the ground hog, to which he
replied with scorn: "Catch him? Why,
yes; I'm bound to catch him; we're out
of meat,"—St. Louis Republic.
Sensible Advice.
A writer who had made a good bit of
money at a single shake of the bag
went to Charles Reade for -advice as to
investments. "Well," said Reade, "I
should say put It in the best gilt edged
securities. Divide it among the first
class bonds of the first class nations.
It's better to sleep on 3 per cent than
to lie awake on 0."
Johnny's Faith.
"But why do you think Johnny be-
lieves so thoroughly In the efficacy of
prayer?"
"Because when I suggested that be
pray for a little brother he refused to
do it and prayed for a goat and a red
wagon instead."—Housten Poet.
Gospel of Clothes. ,
'It is a fact nowadays that fine feath-
ers do make fine birds and that people
are judged more by their appearance
than their character.—Lady Violet Gre-
ville in London Graphic.
Opponents think that they refute us
when they repeat their own opinions
and take no notice of ours.—Goethe.
s Little Things.
It is no great task to play the piano.
Still In playing some Intricate passages
the hands must move far more rapidly
than the performer realizes. In Web-
er's "Moto Perpetuo," for instance,
4,541 notes are sounded In less than
four minutes, or at the rate of twenty
each second. In one of Chopin's
Studies" there Is a greater demand
made, as for two and one -halt minutes
twenty-six notes are struck each sec-
ond.
In following the printed lines in a
book or paper the eye in the course of
a lifetime covers some 5,000 miles, and
the ordinary correspondent pushes a
pen over twenty to twenty-five miles
of paper in the course of threescore
and ten years.
The waiter in a restaurant covers
from eight to fifteen miles a day with-
out leaving bis place of service, and in
eating a full meal one's jaws exert a
force of several tons in the mastica-
tion of food. A man winks 0,870 times
in a year, and the energy he wastes in
shaking hands in that time would lift•
eight tons one foot from the ground.
Odd Marriage Belief,
An unmarried man or woman of
marriageable age 1s something that is
rarely seen in the Fiji islands, The
reason of this is not far to seek. The
natives believe that if a person dies
while lu an unmarried state his or her
soul Is doomed to wander about
through endless ages of eternity In an
Intermediate region between heaven
and hades. At the end of each moon
they are allowed to look into heaven,
but are never permitted to enter,

THROAT EXERCISES. HOW THE TIGER KILLS.
Evils That Come Front ,Ii. of ti
%o,•nl organ..
The chronic sore throat is 11 ,t infr,
quently produced by the sass, of ti
vocal organs. Cert'- viten !hest mural
little member, the towns, is accouutl
ble for the ditlicuity, as it I, for a ere:
many other tr„nbles in this tr:utsitot
life. Many people have a habit wits
talking of pushing the toilette so fa
back against the delicate melubr;uu•
that tine the throat that Irritation mor
or leas painful is cause,!. and If it cot
tlnues any length of thee u1 ers will
form, and so will a doctor's bill.
Control of the tongue is exeelleut in
all senses of the word. I'hvsieally this
organ may be managed by depressing
it into a hollow at a point ttlree-,luar-
ters of an inch back of where the tilt
of it comes when In a n;ttur:;l position
In the mouth and at the .saute time
singing very light heal tones. 'Phis
exercise requires some patience a
first, but the habit of keeping the
tongue down is soon acquired. in
Speaking or siuging it should not be al
lowed to hoop up and fill the mouth
thus interfering with the free passage
of the tones of the voles from the
throat to the front of the mouth. where
they should strike and then escape
clear es a bell. This pooping up of the
tongue in the mouth Is the ciutae of
mush of the Indistinct and slovenly
utterances to which we are he, often
obliged to listen.
In many people we notice the line
from the point of the chin to the neck
is in the form of a right angle. In a
shapely throat this line forms a curve,
just as a canary's does when the small
yellow artist is warbling his carols.
To develop the throat and make this
angle a curve stand before a mirror so
that you may watch the throat swell
out. Now thrust your tongue out as
far as it will go, then draw 1t bark
quickly and forcibly, at the same time
bringing it downward In the mouth as
far as you can. Place your thumb and
forefinger 'against the larynx i,•nmmom
ly called the Adam's apple,, and 1f you
are making the right movement you
will feel the larynx pass downward.
For a week or two make the move-
ments Lightly. After that time put as
much force into It as you can. The
exercise should be practiced for a few
minutes several tlinee a day- to insure
rapid and good results.
To fill up the hollows of the neck
stand correctly and theu slowly till the
lungs with air without elevating your
shoulders. As the air 1s forced upward
into the throat hold It there a few ser
onds and then expel slowly. This ex-
ercise is best performed soon after vis
Ing In the morning and before retiring
at night.—New York Post.
,e Neer Fn(.,. 111■ Prey. hat Atlaek■ It
on the Flunk.
I have taken c,tuslderable trouble to
le find out how tigers kill Targe game.
V Some time ago I eons asked to come
and see a full grown bullock that had
It been killed by a tiger. On examining
it I found the animal had Its neck
t broken, and there were claw marks
s on the nose and shoulder, but nowhere
e ; else. There was no doubt that the
tiger had jumped at the ball and land-
ed on the shoulder, and when the bull
turned his head to gore the tiger he
meet have put Ills claw out and with
a sudden Jerk broken the neck.
On another occasion I went to see a
young buffalo which had been killed by
a tiger and found the same thing had
happened. There were similar. marks.
on the nose and also ou the near shoul-
der, which clearly Indicated that this
t animal had been killed In the sante
way. \lalays who have actually seen
a tiger killing a buffalo told me they
saw the same tiling happen; also that
In dragging off a heavy carcass, such
as buffalo or bull, he gets most of the
weight across his shoulder.
This must be fairly correct, as I
have often followed n kill, and the
marks left indicate that only a portion
,-qt- the animal wae trailing along the
ground. 1 have known a full grown
bull, which ten men could not move.
dragged for two miles by a tiger In a
heavy jungle. where roots of trees and
swamp had to he gone through. In no
case IncvI seen the pug marks facing
the wrong way except when stopping
to feed, which proves he trust carry 8
portion of the animal over his shoul-
der.
The old Idea of a beer killing large
game by a blow from his paw is non-
sense; besides. in India n tiger never
faces his prey, but attacks ltlm on the
flank unless charged. Another curious
tact that may seers very like a fairy
tale is that a tiger does not seem to
mind a small lamp being tied over a
kill about ten feet high, but will come
and feed. I have known three occa-
sions when this has been tried, and
each time a tiger has come to feed
upon the carcass.—London Field.
Time and Eternity.
The stream of time never rums dry,
and the ocean of eterulty will forever
send its mighty surges mountain high
against the bank of time's little
stream, sweeping with each receding
. billow over Its expansive bosom the
frail human craft from the shore of
time, with earth's happiness, human
affection, toil, trials, tears and sin, to
the eternal shore of celestial beauty
and bliss. Oh, mighty ocean of eterni-
ty, your wonderful anthem of life and
death brings eternal woe and condem-
nation to him who is untrue to himself
and bis divine pilot, but to the trust-
ing, faithful man It sings of endless
felicity in the presence of time who
has redeemed Itis people from the
bondage of sin and has swept them
through the pearly gates.—Ducktoevu
(Tenn.) Gazette.
Food For sgntrrel..
Most people who feed the gray squir-
rels In the big parks fall to realize that
It is no kindness to give these pretty
little animals such soft shell nuts as
almonds, peanuts and chestnuts. Ha-
man beings who do not have to actual-
ly forage for food naturally enough feel
that It is thoughtfulness itself to save
the squirrels work. The fact Is, how-
ever, that a squirrel's teeth grow so
rapidly that, deprived of their normal
ase, they might even through their very
uselessness become long enough to put
this charming rodent of the trees In
danger of starvation. Hickory, pecan
and hazel nuts are the proper food to
throw to the squirrels.—Brooklyn Life.
Music is the prophecy of what life iii
to be, the rainbow of promise translat-
ed out of seeing Into hearing. --Mrs: L.

BRITISH BRIEFS.
England's first representative parlia-
ment assembled In 1265.
Caesar conquered Britain in the year
55 B. C. The Roman occupation con-
tinued nearly 600 years, or until 410
A. D.
In 1079 was passed the habeas cor-
pus act, which, along with the right of
trial by jury, is the great bulwark of
Anglo-Saxon liberty.
The great plague was introduced into
London in 1664 by bales of cotton im-
ported from Holland; 100,000 persons
succumbed to the disease in one year.
Cromwell's long parliament assem-
bled to 1640; Charles I. was beheaded
Jan. 30, 16.16, and Cromwell became
lord protector in 1658. In 1600 the
Stuarts were restored to the throne.
Westminster abbey, where the kings
and queens of Great Britain are
crowned, was originally a Benedictine
monastery. It was founded by Se-
bert, king of the East Saxons, about
616.
Byte. on Hills.
Among the humorous memories con-
nected with English judges is one of
Justice Byles and his horse. This em-
inent jurist was well known In his
profession for his work on "Bills," and
as this gave a fine opportunity for al-
literation Ills associates were accus-
tomed to bestow the name on the
horse, which was but a sorry steed.
"There goes Byles on BMs," they took
pleasure in saying, and as the judge
rode out every afternoon they indulged
daily in their little joke. But the truth
was that the horse had another name,
known only to the master and his man,
and when a too curious client inquired
as to the judge's whereabouts he was
told by the servant, with a clear con-
science, that "master was out on Busi-
ness."
Fairy stories.
Mr. Bacon—When a woman tells a
fairy story she always begins like this:
"Once upon a time." Mrs. Bacon—Yes,
and when a man tells a fairy story be
always begins like this: 'There now,
dear, don't be angry with_ me; you sea
It was like thls,'—Yonkers Statesman.

refused to give a;, his beloved theater,
although desperately III. .1 ce:t:i 11 ris-
Ing young actor was very an::ions to
obtain Oxettfortl's valua!,le opinion on
his work, end the tender hearted old
gentleman literally left his bed and
came down to the theater on n bitter
cold night to do a good action to a
clever youngster. In the middle of one
of the actor's finest scenes on came the
cough from the Oxenford box. it con-
tinued so long that it uunervtd the
actor, and be came to a dead stop- To
the surprise of everybody he advanced
to the front and said, "Ladles and gen-
tlemen, i am sorry to say that unless
the old gentleman with the irritating
cough retires temporarily from the
theater 1 really cannot go on. i forget
±verything. it is painful so to address
you, but I ant powerless In the matter
and place myself In your bands."
The disturbance at once ceased, and
the box was empty. When the cur-
tain fell a friend rushed around and,
breathless, said to the distressed actor:
"Do you know what you have done?
Do you know who It was that you turn-
ed out of the box?" "I neither know
nor care," was the reply. "Why, It
was John Oxenford'." The actor was
paralyzed, but he got his good notice all
the same. The veteran critic went
borne coughing to praise the young
actor who had turned him out.
JUDGING DOGS.
The Rule. by Which the Different
Point■ Are Valued.
The average man Is greatly puzzled
to end one. dog awarded a first prize
and another, which to him appears to
be quite as fine a specimen, awarded
no prize -at all. A man who knows the
relative values of the different points
in all breeds of dogs 1s a veritable
walking encyclopedia.
Generally speaking, the best dog Is
one which comes nearest the standard
of requirements for its own particular
breed, about 25 per cent of the points
being usually awarded for tine head
proportions, an equal nutuber for legs
and feet, a similar number for body
and color and the rest for symmetry.
In the Dalmatian, for instance, thirty
points are given for color and mark-
ings, while head, eyes and ears have
only fifteen: the bulldog, on the other
hand, has forty-five for bead and ears,
while coat and color amount to but five
t,.,lnts; the collie has twenty-five for
coat, color being immaterial, and twen-
ty -live for head and ears.
The St. Bernard has forty for head
and ears and five each for coat and
color. The Pomeranian bas but fifteen
for head and ears, forty-five points go-
ing for coat, color and tall, with fifteen
for appearance. It may be set down as
governing in all breeds of dogs that
whatever is the typical feature of that
breed is the feature upon which stress
is laid In the allotment of points.
The Aat'. Cow.
The aphis, one of the moat widely
distributed species of Insects known to
the entomologists, is sometimes re-
ferred to as the "ant's cow." The aphis
actually gives milk, although the crea-
ture itself is so small that it is esti-
mated to weigh but the one one -thou-
sandth of a grain. Out of the back of
the aphis 'reject two hollow tubes.
These connect with ducts in the body,
which secrete a sweet llquld. When
the tubes are touched the liquid exudes
in small drops. The ants know this,
and they make a regular business of
tickling the tubes of the little aphis to
make her "give down her milk." The
ant is very fond of this saccharine food
and will "milk" a hsndred aphides in
the course of an hour.
Why Re Reigned.
The French Baron Rothschild once
had 1n his service a valet named Al-
phonse, first class, but an acknowl-
edged "red." This valet obtained per-
mission once a week to attend the
meetings of his Socialist lodge. Sud-
denly the baron noticed that Alphonse
no longer desired this off night and, in-
quiring Into the cause, was Informed
that the valet's late Socialist colleagues
had worked out a calculation that If
all the wealth of France were divided
equally per capita each Individual
would be the possessor of 2,000 francs.
"Monsieur," said Alphonse, with dig-
nity, "I resigned, I have 5,000 franca'"
—Argonaut
Henpecked Huaband.,
Henpecked husbands are found even
in India. A writer says: "To live as I
have done in a Hindoo house, especial-
ly when tate real house mistress is a
masterful and deeply religious widow,
who Is grandmother to the babies and
mother to their parents, 1s no longer to
wonder at the absolute terror with
which men speak of the 'stri achchar.'
For the men of India are, poor souls,
the moat henpecked in the world."
Too Mach Heart.
"And you rejected him?"
"I did."
"He has the reputation of being a
large hearted man."
"That's the trouble with him. He is
too large hearted. He can love half a
dozen women at the same time."
A Suspicions Agreement.
"I guess your watch la wrong."
"What! My wa'ch doesn't vary a
quarter of a minute."
"Well, I don't know how much it's
out of the way, but your time 1s too
blamed near mine to be right."

The Wonderful Diatom.
One of the most wonderful things in
vegetable life is a beautiful and mi-
nute class of seaweeds called diatoms.
They belong to the seaweed family,
yet they may be found by the thou-
sands In any roadside ditch, fresh or
salt water lake or even in cisterns,
wells, springs, etc. Most species of
plants are made up of an Infinite num-
ber of little cells, but with the diatom
It 1s otherwise. Each repreeeutative
of tbls wonderful family of plants Is
formed of but a single cell and thls so
minute that It would require 2,500 of
the most common form, laid end to
end, to make a string an Inch In length.
Some species of diatoms have the pow-
er of Independent motion, and on that
account were for some time believed
to be animals.

The Water weer..
The' result of the election
Tuesday upon the bond issue is
gratifying, the proposition ha
been carried by a vote of four h
dred and seventy-nine to one b
dred and eighty-two. It is a g
step forward, and in the ri
direction. Notwithstanding the m
natural advantages of Hastings a
place of residence, its railr
facilities, and its proximity to
twin cities, we cannot reasonably
pect any material addition to
population until we are able to o
one of the primary essentials of
istence, an abundant supply of g
water. It comes next to pure a
and this we already have. T
sewers will follow as a matter
course, as modern houses cannot

Now that the matter is settled
our citizens should make an united
effort to push the good work for
ward as rapidly as possible. It is
something we . should have had
years ago, and there is no time to
lose. The council, at an early
meeting, should select a commission,
with full authority to negotiate the
bonds, execute the necessary con-
tracts. and take entire charge of the
work without let or hindrance.
Much can be accomplished during
the present season, and the sooner it
is hegun the sooner it will be com-

Every teacher and patron of the,
public schools should remember
that the fourteenth annual meeting of
the Dakota Counts. Erineetinnel As.
sociation will be held at Hastings,
Apr. 27th and 28th, and arrange their
affairs so as to come in and enjoy the
advantages of both days' sessions.
An interesting programme has been

Somebody has started the absurd
rumor that owing to the defeat of the
new charter it will now be impossible
to proceed with the proposed water
works. This is not so. They are to
be constructed under the provisions
of chapter three hundred and thirty-
four, laws of 1905, which provides
for the issuance of bonds irrespec-
tive of previous indebtedness, and for
their dieposel by the city council.
Stripped of all verbiage the county
seat question is simply this, will the
voters of Dakota County vote to
abandon the present buildings at
Hastings and tax themselves to
huild new ones at Farmington?
Those who have any regard for their
pocket book will govern themselves
accordingly.
The railroad commissioners have

from rabies or tuberculosis, and ad-
vised us to bury the thing at once

own opinion was that it came wholly

This, however, was only a prelimina-
ry step upou the part of the Northfield -

up on Monday by the service of a
complaint alleging that the aforesaid
Israel A —Herrick "has suffered

twenty-five thousand (*25,000) dol.

cumstances. -

buy it back at its market value it
would be the greatest financial specu-

A Sensible Opinion.
A Mankato dispatch of the 5th
quotes Gov. Johnson as follows:
Speaking of the time fixed for the re-
publican state convention, he expressed a
preference for a late convention by the
democrats, suggesting the latter part of
August or first part of September. He
said that where the conventions are held
early there is too much apathy on the
part of the voters. He liked a short,
brisk campaign, with everybody
interested.
Now that the date of the repuhli-
can convention has been fixed for
June 13th, we are likely to have a
repetition of the campaign of 1904,
with the still further disadvantage of
an off year.

how Scott's Emulsion deals with

SCOTT & BOWNE,
solved the problem. For it he re-
ceived the congratulations of the
editor of The Electrical Word, one
of the leading electrical journals of
the country.
He loved to work out large prob-
lems. In a great catastrophe he was
in his element. Ile was a good steam
engineer and an expert pipe fitter.
He was the supervising hydraulic and
electric engineer of the first power
plant built on Apple River, and the
first between Niagara and the Rocky
Mountains.
The working out of the new prob-
lems which gave New Richmond one
of the very best lighting and water
works systems enjoyed 1)3' any city
anywhere was due to E. H. Maskrey'a
creative genius.
In July, 1893, Mr. Maskrey was
married to Miss Lulu Countryman, of
Hastings, Minn. Four children were
born to them, two boys and two girls,
all of whom survive him.
It was a cruel fate that followed
this young life. In 1899 with the
whole city he suffered the terrible
shock of the cyclone. Two years la-
ter he received a second shock, this
time from accidental contact with a
high potential electric wire, but from
hoth these he seemed to recover per-
fectly. A third shock came in the
winter of 1904, when the appalling
nese of his devoted wife almost killed
him. As soon as she was so he
could leave her, he resumed his regu-
lar work as superintendent of the
power plant, and exposed himself to
severe and protracted effort on 1L' -
count of a break down in the plant.
From this he was prostrated with an
attack of inflammation of the brain,
which lasted nearly two months.
Again he fully recovered, and during
the following summer, viz., 1904,
seemed to be in better health than
ever.
During this summer he held the
position of ass't supt. of construction
of what is known as the Riverdale
Power plant on Apple River. How-
ever, as the following winter progress.
ed, he gradually became listless, and
by the end of Feb. 1906, be was again
overcome by a severe attack of the
same malady which prostrated him
for months, and it was the middle of
August before he was able to leave
his bed. From this attack he never
fully recovered, though he again took
charge of a crew and built a pole
transmission line connecting the Apple
River Power Co.'s two plants with
the St. Croix Power Co.'s plant.
About the middleof of February last
he again showed signs of hie old com-
plaint. This time the disease seemed
to take on it little different form,
symptoms of pressure on the brain
developed, and he was taken to the
Hudson sanatorium, where he grew
rapidly worse and died at 8:30 p. m.,
March 26th, surrounded by bis family.
The remains were taken to his old
boyhood home in Flutings,
for burial.
Ellsworth H. Maskrey was a kind
and indulgent husband and father
and a loving son. He has been a
most active and potent factor in
moulding the development and future
of tbie city, and we mourn his untime-
ly and almost tragic death.—New

The election in this city on Tuesday
was an unusually quiet affair, not-
withstanding the important questions
of issuing 850,000 is bonds for the
proposed system of water works and
the submission of the new charter for
approval or rejection. It resulted in
a republican landslide, J. P. West
being elected mayor, Charles Hankes
city clerk, sod W. DeW. Pringle
police justice by very flattering ma-
orities. The republican candidates
for aldermen were elected in the first,
second, and fourth wards. The
school inspectors were evenly divided,
republican in the third and fourth
wards, democratic in the first and
second. Two hundred and fifty-six
votes were cast by the women. The
bonds were carried by more than two
to one, while the charter lacked
about a dozen of the necessary four -
sevenths.

Doubts flowers.
Nearly all the double flowers of gar-
dens were first found wild. Double
buttercups, double primroses, double
daisies, double roses and many other
things were first discovered among
their wild fellows and Introduced into
the gardens. The florist, however, can
produce double flowers. He watches
this tendency In nature. If a flower
'usually has five petals, and be dis-
covers that some of the stamens have
somewhat of a petal -like character, the
pollen is taken from these flowers and
others in a normal condition fertilized
with this pollen. The tendency, once
started, le then given to the progeny.
Almost any species of plant will in this
way be capable of producing double
Sowers. It is surprising that, with this
knowledge, more attempts at this line
of improvement in ordinary garden
'flowers are not made.

Gordon leaned forward, his elbo
on the table, his face between h
hands, and regarded her with bu
miserable eyes.
"And you prefer to break mine,"
said gloomily.
"I have promised," repeated Mol
quietly, with a little wan attempt at
smile.
"How does It happen that I am a

awered, her eyes l.tleut upon the ad-
joining room. ••I ;,,11 him you were

Gordon sat buried In utlbappy rev-
erie.
"Do look at that girl just sitting
down at the table by the door:" ex-
claimed Molly suddenly. "Did you
ever see such a hat? There must be
a special kind of bird to grow such
stupendous plumes."
Gordon turned. "She completely
overshadows her companion," he said,
with forced interest.
The newcomer settled herself in her
chair and moved the amazing hat to
one side.
"By Jove!" exclaimed Gordon, with
a low whistle.
He glanced quickly at Molly. Two
red spots like danger signals burned
on either cheek; her wrathful eyes were
fastened on the girl's companion. Ile
looked up, their eyes met, and Molly
stared at him with no hint of recogni-
tion. He half rose to his feet; thele a
hot wave of color suffused his face as
he turned sullenly to his companion.
Amazement, indignation, relief, chas-
ed themselves in quick succession over
Molly's face. She met Gordon's eyes,
and her own fell before their message.
The strains of the violins died softly
away; the crowd thrilled with enthusi-
asm. "Encore, encore:" they cried.
and again the gay little French song
echoed through the rooms. "With all
my heart," swung the refrain.
Gordon leaned over the table. "Say
it," he whispered.
The delicate color dyed her cheeks
crimson; be bent nearer.
"With all my heart," she whispered.

Gray.
The color of hair depends on little
granules, which can be Been if the hair
be examined under a powerful micro-
scope. Sometimes the hair may be-
come white In a night. Brown-Sequard
tells us that when he was forty-five
years old his beard turned white In
two days. This took place when he
was perfectly well and without any
especial cause. Sometimes, however,
sorow or illness produces the change
earlier In life than it would usually
take place. As to the cause, some have
said that the hair becomes filled with
small air particles which make it look
gray. Others have said that the outer
part of the hair becomes altered so
that it Is like ground glass and you
cannot see the color. But a man of
the name of Metchnikoff tells us that
the real reason is because small mov-
able bodies In the hair devour the
grains of coloring matter and move
them to the root of the hair. Some-
times poisons in disease or some results
of sorrow bring about an effect upon
these small migrating bodies (cells),
causing them to become active in the
above fashion. That is said to he the
reason why the hair grows gray.—St.
Nicholas.
Geographical Unity,
There are two tremendous moments
in crossing the United States from east
to west by way of Chicago, Omaha
and Ogden. The first Is when the
bluffs of the Missouri suddenly dwin-
dle away and the prairie rolls into
sight with its ocean of tall corn, is -
landed with embowered homesteads,
as if one swelling movement of the
sea bad been divinely caught and pet-
rified and made fertile. And the sec-
ond of these significant moments, more
majestically pregnant with hidden
meanings than the naked glories of
Niagara or the arrogant cliffs of Yo-
semite, is when the ravines of the
Sierra Nevada, with their ever green
beauty of pine trees, broaden out on
the valley of Sacramento and the hills
recede beyond that magnificent plain.
There and then you realize the per-
petual and Indissoluble relation of
highland to lowland and perceive in
the United States a more wonderful
geographical unity than you might be-
hold anywhere in Europe, where there
Is more variety and less majestic
Space. — Percy Vincent Donovan in
Sunset Magazine.
Tiaras Made Over.
It may be realized by purchasers of
diamond tiaras and the like that styles
in settings change almost as frequent-
ly as In a woman's hat, and every oth-
er year at least must see the precious
diadem rebuilt. 'I'hls adds to original
cost, for no self respecting jeweler
changes the setting of a costly piece of
jewelry without adding a few new
stones to the first amount, thereby in-
creasing its value. Of course famous
crowns, with associations attached,
that have recently come into the posses-
sion of very rich Americans remain as
first designed, for even an American
shows some sentiment when it costs
him a fortune to indulge in rich his-
toric jewels, but otherwise diamond
and pearl and emerald tiaras are con-
stancy made over.—Boston Herald.

Mabel --Such a joke with Mr. Gay -

the post? Mabel—No. Why? Maud—
Oh, nothing; only you have red paint

The conversation turned on the effect

art, when a man remarked, "I remem-

INFECTION FROM CATS.
Investigation Prove. That Tabby Is
Snbiect to Diphtheria.
The Glasgow correspondent of the
London Lancet writes as follows to his
paper:
"The bacteriologist for the burgh of
Govan has issued au interesting report
on his Investigations into the question
of diphtheria infection from cats. The
cats were taken to the laboratory,
where their throats were examined.
Micro orgauistus from the throat were
found to correspond In every respect
to those of the human subject. Ill one
case the animal had been in the habit
of sleeping i11 the same bed as the pa-
tient; in the other the child had been
carrying It In her arms and kissiug it,
as children frequently do with domestic
pets.
"Both cats had been ailing previous-
ly to the children becoming affected.
Of five cases of diphtheria recently re-
ported in Govan three patients came
from two families living in adjoining
properties and two from a house in a
tenement directly opposite. Itt the cir-
cumscribed area luclosing the back
courts of these buildings there had been
a stray cat which had eventually ob-
tained a home In one of the families
affected. The animal when examined
was found to be suffering from post
diphtheritic paralysis of the legs."
The Pope's Telephone.
A daily press dispatch of recent date
says: "The pope has adopted the tele-
phone habit. The Vatican is now as
elaborately wired as any great finan-
cial institution or hotel in the United
States—house, local and long distance
telephone in every room. The long dis-
tance telephone most often used by the
pope is the wire connection with Ven-
ice, his old place of residence and use-
ful activity. From Venice come sto-
ries of all sorts of people who are oc-
casionally called up by Pius for a mo-
ment's chat or some personal instruc-
tion. The pope himself selected the
telephone apparatus used in the Vati-
Clay For Cholera.
Pulverized clay is claimed as the
successful remedy of Dr. Stumpf of
Wurtzburg for intestinal disease, in-
cluding Asiatic cholera. It 1s given to
the fasting child or adult In a dose of
ten to a hundred grams and is sup-
posed to act by enveloping the ml-
erobes and checking their development
and the production of toxins. Fever
gives place in halt an hour to a crisis
like that of pneumonia.
Pneumonia Dae to Mlee.
Pneumonia is due to mice and not to
the weather, according to Dr. E. Palter
of New York. The microbe causing
pneumonia, he says, Is found In the
mouths of nearly all healthy individ-
uals, but does not acquire dangerous
virulence until it passes through a sus-
ceptible animal like the house mouse.
He has proved the theory, he says, by
experiments.
Milton'. Works,
Milton regarded the "Paradise Re.

'Paradise Lost" and once expressed
great surprise that any one should en•
tertaln a contrary fin. Be said
that of all his works the poem "On the
Morning of Christ's Natrity" Was hi,

ALPINE ROO11 DIGGERS.
Their Work of Danner high Up la
the Mountalna,
Throughout the whole chain of the
Alps there are men who make it their
business to search for and root up the
gentian, arnica, puffballs and other Ai -
High
High up in the mountains the root
grubber, generally au old man, builds
a little but. He clambers precipices
to the edges, where the blue flowers
grow; or, If he cannot ascend, he lets
himself down to their place of refuge
by a rope fastened to a pine above.
He wanders to a long distance from
his but and does not always troubieto
return to it at night, tending shelter u -s
der a rock. Next ironing he spread$
all the roots he has collected on a root,
where they may dry.
He collects herbs as well as roots.
and the resin from the pine besides.
When the summer is over and there
are signs of snort•, the root grabber
collects all together in his little but and
finally transports the whole of his six
months' collection to the valley.
The arnica and some other roots used
in medicine are readily disposed of.
From the gentian is made the favorite
gentian brandy, which Is considered
the very elixir of life by the mountain
folk. In other days, when gentians
grew in groat numbers, the root digger
was able to realize a good income from
his perilous occupation, but It is other-
wise now—Chambers' Journal.
THE TIMOROUS KURUS.
•
They Live In Sumatra and Are the
Shiest People Alive.
There is a very singular race of peo-
ple in Sumatra, the Kobus, who are too
timorous and shy to falx with he other
races of the island and dwell in the re-
cesses of the forests. Tiley are looked
on as inferiors by the Malays and
thGllgbt to be little better than beasts.
Such Is their shyness that they will
never willingly face a stranger.
Their trade with the Malayans Is con-
sequently carried on in a strange man-
ner. The trader announces his arrival
by beating a gong, nud he then retires.
The Kubus approach, put their forest
treasures on the ground, beat a gong
and retreat. The trader returns and
is
his is commodities down in quanti-
ties sufficient as he thinks, for he pur-
chase of the goods on sale. Then he re-
tires, and the Kubus reappear and con-
sider the bargain.
And so, after more withdrawals and
approaches and gong beatings, the re-
spective parties come to au understand-

Meals In nehools. •
In Paris the city government gives
every school child one full heal a day.
This does not tend b pauperize thechll-
drett or to lessen die reeponalbillty of
the parents, for all those who can af-
ford to pay for the meal are expected
to do so. On the ober hand, no jeal-
ousy or contempt can be felt by the
richer children for heir starved com-
rades, for all are supplied with the
same metal token which bas to be
given up in exchange for the meal. The
"cantitte scolaire." as his municipal
soup kitchen is called, is not confined to
Paris. Iu the provinces the "coupe
scolaire," its equivalent, has sent up
the school attendance by leaps and
bounds. Here, however, instead of
paying for their midday meal all those
who can possibly do so ere encouraged
to bring to school beer handful of vege-
tables and the like, and the contribu-
tions are all put into the common soup.
Madrid's Throne Room.
The throne room of the royal palace
at Madrid is one of the most magnifl•
cent in the world. Decorated in red
and gold, it contains rock crystal chan-
deliers, colossal looking glasses of he
finest quality, marble tables and price-
less porphyry. The ceiling Is painted
by Tiepolo with the "Majesty of Spain,"
In illustration of the virtue of the kings
and the manliness of the people, who
are represented in the different cos-
tumes of the provinces. Here the sov-
ereigns of Spain receive on grand occa-
sions when alive and when dead are
laid out in state.
Women Sailor..
Women sailors are employed in Den-
mark, Norway and Finland and are
often found to be excellent mariners.
In Denmark several women are em-
ployed as state officials at sea, and
particularly in the pilot service. They
go out to meet the incoming ships; they
climb nimbly out of heir boats; they
show their edictal diploma, and they
steer the newcomer safely Into the har-
bor. It is the same In Finland.

FiRST CARRIAGE IN MAINE.
How a Minister Came to Any It and
Why lie Sold it.
The Rev. Francis Winter was a na
tive of Boston and a graduate of Har-
vard college. Ile went to Bath early in
1767 and, after preaching ou probation
for the orthodox church, was invited
to settle, which Invitation he accepted.
Ile was ordained In the autumn of the
same year. Ile went to Bath on horse-
back in company with Lemuel Stan-
dish. Mr. Winter came from Boston,
where he had associated with such em-
inent men as Adams, Otis and Warren,
himself becoming an ardent patriot,
taking the lead in the Revolutionary
measures adopted In Bath during that
memorable period.
Mr. Winter married Miss Abigail Al-
den in 1763, and it is through her that
the Winters of today trace their an-
cestry back to the -Puritan Malden of
Plymouth."
Three years after the marriage of the
Rev. Francis Winter and Abigail Alden
they started to visit a sister of Mrs.
Winter living in Connecticut and in-
tended to ride all the way on horse-
back, but Mrs. Winter became so fa-
tigued that Mr. Whiter sold one of the
horses for a carriage and harness. It
was the first carriage that ever came
into Maine and was called a chaise.
Traveling was so difficult that two ne-
groes were employed to accompany
them with shovels and axes to clear
the road•. Several times the chaise had
to be taken apart and lifted over fallen
trees. The minister's parishioners
thought that it was putting on too
much style for their pastor to ride in a
carriage, and In consequence Mr. Win-
ter sold it. This was in 1771. It was a
two wheeled chaise, the body resting
on leather braces, which were attached
to wooden springs.—Lewiston Journal.
A DAZZLING EFFECT.
Old Time Illumination 'With Lanterns
and Candles.
In these days of electric lights, with
all their capabilities for brilliant Illu-
mination, it Is amusing to read what
the subjects of George II. considered
a dazzling effect. A Frenchman visit-
ing in Lond at the time of the coro-
nation of tha� monarch 1n 1727 writes
enthusiastically In praise of the light-
ing of the city as well as of a ban-
quet display.
"Most of the streets," writes M.
Saussure, "are wonderfully well light-
ed. In front of each house bangs
a lantern, or large globe of glass, in-
side of which is placed a lamp which
burns all night. Large houses have
two of these suspended outalde the
doors by Iron supports. Some even
have four."
How one arc light would have daz-
f:led the good people of that day!
"When the coronation procession en-
tered Westminster hall." the writer
continues, "the light of day Was begin-
ning to fade. Forty chandeliers, In
shape like a crown, hung from the ceil-
ing, each having thirty-six wax can-
dles.
"On the king's appearance all sud-
denly Ilghted, and every one In the
room was filled with astonishment at
the wonderful and unexpected illumi-
nation. Little cords of cotton wool, -
imperceptible to the eye, saturated
with sulphur of saltpeter, spirits of
wine and other ingredients, had been
prepared and arranged so as to carry
the flame rapidly from one candle to
another. The arrangement had been
so skillfully prepared that scarcely a
candle failed to take fire."
For Dosing Oneself.
A physician recommends rochelle
salts for amateur doctoring. He says
that It is an excellent thing, several
times a day, to take as much of the salts
as may be put on a cent in a little wa-
ter. That will sweeten the stomach
and act as a very desirable spring
medicine. Ile also speaks highly of
soda, having no patience with those
timid people who have an idea that It
Is a dangerous dose, doing some vague
harm to *he coating of the intestines.
"Why, everything we eat, almost, bas
soda in it" he cried In disdain. "It is
an admirable thing to take half ro-
chelle salts and half bicarbonate of
soda, as directed, several times a day.
I know of few gentler and still more
beneficent general medicines."
A Polsonou■ Frog.
People in general look upon all spe-
cies of the frog as being perfectly
harmless. Should you be traveling In
New Granada (United States of Colom-
bia), however, you would do well to
let a certain little tree croaker severe-
ly alone. He secretes a poison equally
as deadly as that of the rattlesnake.
It exudes from his skin in the shape of
a milky liquid and Is used by the na-
tives as a poison for their arrows.
Write as You reel.
If you would write to any purpose,
you must be perfectly free from with-
in. Glve yourself the natural reit.,
think on no pattern, no patron, no pa-
per, no press, no public; think on noth-
ing, but follow your l.mpulaes. Give
yourself an you are—what you are and

his own eyes or does not see at all.—
Emerson.
Wouldn't Treat Him.
"Of course," said the sarcastic man,
"you always do your wife's bidding."
"Gracious! No!" replied Mr. Hen-
peck. "She wouldn't let me. When she
goes to an auction sale she never takes
me with her."—Philadelphia Press.

STAGECOACHING DAYS.
An Old World Era R'Ith a Decided
Flavor of Romance.
The old coaching days, as far as con-
venience for travel was concerned.
were the dawn of the great days of our
present rapid means of communication.
The seventy years or so in which mall
coaches waxed nud flourished and
finally died out before the incursion of
railways and steam engines have a de-
cided flavor of romance attached to
them, and no doubt the coming and
going of stagecoaches lent a certain
amount of color and interest and life
to the country places and towns
through which ran the great main
coaching roads. Tilt Bath road, the
Dover road, the York road were high-
ways of communication along which
rolled the heavy private coaches and
chariots of the country magnates, and
the stagecoaches with their steaming
horses passed the various. stopping
places with the regularity of clock-
work.
These stagecoaches, with their com-
plement of coachmen and guards, af-
forded endless subjects of interest and
illustration to the artist and the liter-
ary man of the day. Imagine Charles
Dickens without stagecoaches and de-
nuded of all his vivid descriptions of
the scenes such as those in the yard of
the White Hart inn, High street, Bor-
ough, in "Pickwick," or of the mail
coach on the Dover road in "A Tale of
Two Cities." It Is difficult for the pres-
ent generation to realize the (ntig' e
and the wintry cold of such long jour-
neys, when frozen feet were enveloped
In a little straw, and a "shawl" folded
round the neck was thought to be a fit
protection against the keen night air.—
London Standard.
THE PRIVATE WON.
Rebuked Ilia Superior Officer and Es-
caped Court Martial.
Charles Bradlaugh when in the Brit-
ish army was orderly room clerk, and a
newly arrived officer once entered the
room where he was slttingtt work
and addressed to him some discourte-
ous order. I'rlvate Bradlaugh took no
notice. The order was repeated with
an oath. Still no movement. Then it
Came again, with some foul words add-
ed. The young soldier rose, drew him-
self to his full height and. walking up
to the officer, bade him leave the room
or he would throw him out. Ile went
accordingly, but lu a few moments the
grounding of muskets was heard out-
side, the door opened and the colonel
walked In, accompanied by the officer.
It was clear that the private soldier
had committed an act for which he
might be court martialed, and as be
said once, "1 felt myself In n tight
place." The officer made his accusa-
tion, and Private Bradlaugf was bid-
den to explain. He asked that the of-
ficer should state the exact words In
which he had addressed him, and the
other, who had, atter all, a touch of
honor in him, gave the offensive sen-
tence word for word. Then Private
Bradlaugh said, addressing the colo-
nel, that the officer's memory must
surely be at fault In the whole matter,
as he could not have used language so
unbecoming to an officer and a gen-
tleman. The colonel turned to the of-
ficer with the dry remark: "I think
Private Bradlaugh Is right. There
must be some mistake." And he left
the room.
A Seotch Teat.
Auchtermuchty is the happy town
which every Scot, proud of his unpro-
nounceable tongue, uses as a shibbo-
leth to test the linguistic skill of the
southron. If you cannot say "Auchter-
muchty" you are still an uneducated
barbarian. The meaning of the word
happens to be as monstrous as its
sound. "The high ground of the wild
sow" is not a name one would choose
for a garden city. People, Lowe Jr, are
found to flock to it as a summer re-
sort, and as it has a lover's pool, the
town has probably attractions more
real than its name. In the early part
of last century Auchtermuchty went
bankrupt and was deprived of all its
property except the jail and one or two
other assets of an equally necessary
character. It is now rich, peaceful and
radical.
A Quotation of Cats.
"There Is no short cut to tame," re-
marked the wise guy.
"How about the upper cut?" sug-
gested the simple mug, looking up from
the sporting page.—Philadelphia Rec-

"No, no," the man replied. "I have
been a champagne maker." He touch-
ed his Lace. "These honorable nicks,"
be said, "are champagne scars.
"Champagne scars," he went on," dec-
orate the visages of ail the workers lu
the underground champagne mills of
Rheims. They are caused by the burst-
ing of the bottles. About one bottle of
champagne in every ten bursts.
"There are miles and miles of cham-
pagne caves in Ithelms, caves cut in
the solid limestone rock, where, In a
constant temperature of 45 degrees,
millions of bottles of wine refine and
ripen.
"The workers down there smell noth-
ing but champagne all day loug, cham-
pagne escaping from burst bottles, and
as the turners move along the racks—
each turns 35,000 bottles dully—they
are continually saluted with explosions.
Bang! And the glass spliuters fly, and
a little fountain of champagne per-
fumes the damp air.
"Day atter day each bottle must be
turned, turned fifty times altogether,
till the sediment in it has all mounted
up and concentrated itself around the
cork. Then the corkers remove the
corks, let the sediment thlekenttl wine
In the neck of the bottle blow off and
skillfully replace the cork again.
"The corkers' and turners' work is
dangerous. These men are nearly all
scarred like me."—Kansas City Inde-

WAYS OF PENGUINS.
These Bird■ 1.ay- Uot Home Sites and
Build Cities.
Penguins mostly spend thelrlives on
the water, but when, during the breed-
ing season, they are obliged to seek
the shore they establish cities, many
acres often being laid out In squares,
composed of what might be called
streets, running at right angles. The
birds not only lay out their city after
picking up all the loose stones till the
whole place Is as smooth as a board
floor, but they take possession 1n cou-
ples, each pair selecting a home site,
not to build a nest, but merely to se-
cure a particular spot on the bare
ground.
The hen lays one egg, and only one,
and during the time of incubation the
male bird brings her food from the
sea or sits on the egg awhile himself
if she wants to go out and take a
swim. The lady penguins grow so fat
and sleek under the good care of their
faithful mates that they are eagerly
hunted at the breeding season.
The old birds are tough and fishy,
but the tender young matrons are in
great demand, both for their oil and
flesh. Even the eggs have an oily and
fishy flavor and taste as hens' eggs
might if cooked In paraffin. The pen-
guin has wings, Ilke other birds, but
they are altogether too short to By
with, though they assist him some-
what in waddling over the ground.—
Cornhlll Magazine.
Nature's Perch Clamp.
"Chickens and other binds roosting on
a perch no bigger than a lead pencil
never fall off. Do you know why?"
said a fanner.
"The tendon of a roosting bird's leg
Is so constructed that when the leg Is
bent at the knee the claws have to con-
tract—can't open till the leg Is straight-
ened out again.
"Thus a chicken gets on its perch,
bends its knee to be comfortable and
with that bending locks Itself, as with
a key, to the wood. It can't fall off.
Put a chicken on your finger and then
make it sit down. Its claws will clamp
your Anger tight and be unable to let
go until the bird stands up again. Na-
ture, very kindly, has so constructed
recoiling birds that the act of settling
dow, .;amps them to their perch."
Shelley's Heart.
A. well known and very prominent
English family are the possessors of a
remarkable relic in the shape of a hu-
man heart preserved in a jar of alco-
hol. It appears that Shelley, the poet,
feared that there was a chance of be-
ing burled alive. To guard against
any such a contingency be left direc-
tions that his heart should be removed
immediately after death. The queer
relic may still be seen by any one who
visits Bascombe manor, Bournemouth,
England.
Force of Perseverance.
There are two ways of attaining an
important end—force and perseverance.
Force falls to the lot only of the privi-
leged few, but austere and sustained
perseverance can be practiced by the
most insignificant. Its silent power
grows irresistible with time.—Mme.

IRVING TODD It SON.
SATURDAY APRIL 14th, 1906.
A Contemptible Lie.
The following article is taken from
The Farmington Tribune, of the 6th
inst:
A DREAM.—This cut was circulated by
the citizens of Hastings in placards. The
courthouse picture is a photograph of a
painting owned by the Commercial Club
of Hastings, and is not a photograph of
the building as it stands.
[Cut.]
Built in 15;0.1 at a cost of over $150.000,
and in better condition to -day than when
turned over by the contractors. It is
equipped with electric lights, heating
plant, water supply, and a tine sewerage
system. It cannot be sold or removed,
because it stands 00 ground dedicated for
public use. Farmington asks the tax
payers to abandon this valuable property
and build new buildings in their village.
TILE REALITY.—Phe cut is from a photo-
graph of the courthouse made by H. M.
Crosby. The statements are matters of
record.
[Cut. ]
Built in 13;0-1 at a cost to the county
of just 330,000. including jail and sheriff's
residence. It needs a new roof. extensive
repairs to tower. new heating plant, sani-
tary conveniences. an office for the county
(llicaals now having no office rooms. The
county has absolute title to the property,
and can sell it, remove, or lease it where
it is. The county commissioners value
all the county buildings at Hastings
$90.009 tineluding furniture),
The Commercial Club of Hastings
never had a painting of our court-
house, nor was one ever made.
Their cut, the two printed in The
Tribune, the one printed in The
Gazette, The Democrat, and circu-
lated on cards were from the same
identical negative, taken by H. M.
Crosby, of this city. This is a fact
which can very easily be verified by
the artist and engravers.
The courthouse is in better con-
dition to -day than when built for the
reason that it was then heated by
stoves, lighted by lamps, and there
was nu water or drainage.
The actual expense of the county
buildings cannot now be •ascertained
from the records, because the years
wanted are not to he found. From
other -sources it is learned that the
courthouse cost $95,000 without
furnishing, of which amount Hastings
donated $15,000, and the jail and
sheriff's house in the neighborhood
of $30,000, exclusive of cells and
fixtures. The sewer cost upwards of
$10,000, and the heating plant as
much more. Then hoick were
issued, but the amount is not known or
how long they ran before being paid,
but the first installment of $20,000
bore ten per cent interest, and was
sold at ninety-six cents ou the dollar.
It is safe to say that the existing
buildings could not be duplicated,
at the present price of labor and
materials, for less than $175,000,
practically all of which would have
to be borrowed. Very few counties
or towns have issued bonds without
paying as much in interest or even
more than their par value.
The courthouse does not need a
new roof, extensive repairs to the
tower, or a new heating plant. It
floes need painting, for which the
material was bought and the scaffold-
ing put up too late last season to
begin the work, which will be started
as soon as the weather permits.
Every county officer requiring an
office in the.building already has oue.
It is not customary to furnish rooms
for the attorney, surveyor, coroner,
or court commissioner, for they
would never occupy them.
The buildings stand on a block
dedicated by the town proprietors for
a public square. It never was owned
by the city, neither could a title be
given to the county or any one else.
The original tender by the city coun-
cil, made Nov. 11th, 1SGS, and signed
by D. E. Eyre, mayor, contains the
following paragraph:
Said city council propose to !ease or
dedicate the public square in said city to
the county of Dakota, for the purpose of
placing county buildings thereon, so long
as the same *shall be used by the county
for that purpose.
This proposition was accepted by
.the county commissioners, and the
specified lease or dedication accord-
ingly executed.
It is wholly immaterial whether the
board values the buildings at much
or little in its list of county assets.
They remain just the same. Should
the county seat be removed from
Hastings, however, this item would
have to be charged to profit and loss.
A very sensible and practical letter
from G. B. Mallery, of Eureka, is
printed in this issue. He is one of
the oldest residents of the county,
was commissioner of the fifth dis-
trict, 1868 to 1871, and an active
partisan of Farmington during their
first contest for the county seat.
The majority, however, of five hun-
dred and seventeen in favor of Haat-
ings was accepted by him as final,
and from that time on he took an
active interest in the construction of
The Counts. Seat Question.
To the Editor of The Gazette:
I am very sorry that there has been
so much excitement raised in Dakota
County with reference to moving the
county seat. I do not think it likely
to promote harmony and good will
among the people. There have been
some statements made that, it not
absolutely false, are very much ex-
aggerated. I have lived in Eureka,
one-half tnile from the west line of
the county, since 1555, and had sotne
part in county business in those early
days and in the contest for the county
seat between Farmington and Hast-
ings. I voted for Farmington then,
and expect to vote for Hastings now
if it comes to a vote. I hoped that
contest had settled the county seat
question for all time.
It has been intimated, if not posi-
tively asserted, that the county was
badly swindled by the dishonesty or
incompetency of those who had charge
of erecting the buildings. If that is
so, it is right that the taxpayers
should know who swiudled them.
Dials Day, of Castle Rock, R. J. Mar-
vin, of Hastings, and myself were
three of the board. I cannot recall
the names of the other two at present,
but one lived in Inver Grove, and the
other I think in Marshan.
Before the courthouse and jail were
built the county rented rooms for the
offices, a hall for holding court, and
boarded its prisoners in the St. Paul
jail. County buildings were needed
hadly, but partly at least on account
of the opposition of Mr. Day and uty-
selt,none were built or contracted for
till after the vote in reference to mov-
ing the county seat to Farmington
was had. Taking that as the voice
of the people, we employed an archi-
tect of established reputation to draw
plans and specifications and made
contracts for the work, intending to
have good and substantial buildings.
I thiuk we got them. I do not claim
that they are perfect, but I do claim
that we did the best we knew how,
and that they are good enough with
sotne repairing and possibly sotne ad-
ditions to do the county very well for
fifty or a hundred years to come.
If a person makes statements as to
the advantages of Farmington over
Hastings that we know are not true,
we are fully justified in doubting any
and all of his statements.
We at -e told that Farmington is
nearer the centre of the county.
Hastings is on the east side and
Farmington is six and a half miles
from the west side, not very near the
centre after all.
They tell us that Farmington is
easy of access, is situated on a rail-
road, has two elevators, several stores,
a feed mill, and did have a flouring
mill some years ago. All this and
More is true of Ilastings. It is a
larger place, carries on more business,
and more kinds of business,
''Hastings wants a new courthouse
built." Very likely some in Ilast-
ings do. It would be very strange
if everybody were satisfied. But
even supposing that all in Hastings
wanted a new one built. She elects
one commissioner and the rest of the
county elects four. How can one
out vote four?
Again "there are several thousand
dollars in the treasury now that can
be used for the new buildings," and
they prove it by the records. It
will take several more records than I
have seen yet to make me believe
that our commissioners have made
us pay thousands of dollars in taxes
that they have no use for.
"The old buildings cost a great
deal too much, and are poor things
anyway." But we may get another
board of commissioners as incompe
tent as the ones we had before.
"If the county seat is removed to
Farmington our expenses will he
very much reduced." I do not
know how the estimate was made, or
whether it was simply a guess.
Perhaps it was a guess, and a wild
one at that. More likely the interest
on the cost of the new buildings will
amount to several times the retittc-
tiou in expenses, if there is any.
The talk of Hastings running the
county does not show much respect
for the ability of the rest of the
county, and it will be something of a
drain on the resources of even
Dakota County to build new huild-
inga every thirty or forty years.
I am making this very much
longer than I intended, although
there are other things I would like
to mention. I will cloae by saying
again that I am very sorry for the
whole affair. I remember of some-
thing being said some place about a
house divided against itself.

speak of the latter. briefly, and
the following particulars. First,
to place where the funeral should
held. We maintain that the ebur
is the proper place from which
bury the bodies of the baptiz
dead. In the church building t
deceased has been brought to
baptised and thereby made a me
ber of the church, there his body 1
heen consecrated to Gori as it w
received from Him, there is where
has gone for instruction and worahi
there it has gone for the mane
grace by which it has been sane
tied, and that is the proper place
give back to God the hallowed god
If the church building had n
been important God would not ha
given minute directions t'oneernin
the building of the tabernacle an
temple. If it were not important
assemble in the church bulletin
Christ would not hays set the e
ample in doing so, and the apostl
would not have given the aperitif ex
hortation to do so.
In fact, the church is the only gat
to heaven that the Bible says any
thing about.
If it is the gate for the living, it i
the gate for the dead. This propriot
does not apply to an unhaptizet
person, for if an unbaptized body i
taken into the church building it en
not be entitled to Christian burial
The service for such a person shout
be had at the house, though i
their friends want them taken In
the church we do not object, but the
service will have to bo different from
that provided for a ehristian. The
funeral service of a communicant
should be held in the church building
and in connection with the Holy
Communion. But we can not al-
ways insist on this. Some times the
bereaved are too feeble to leave the
house and wish to be present at the
services.
There may be other reasons why
the service can not be in the church.
But that question must always be
settled by the family after having the
advice of the minister. ,
Minor reasons why a funeral
should not be held in a private house
are the following:
1. The house is not a consecrated
place.
2. The house is not a convenient
place for conducting the church
service,
3. It is too small to accommodate
the friends who would like to show
their respect by attending the service.
11, Such a situation is always em-
barrassing to the family.
Then my instruction is that a
baptized person or a communicant
should be buried from the church
building when possible, and that an
unbaptized person should be buried
from the house.
The rule is that the burial of the
unbaptized, whether in the house or
in the church, can not be a cbristian
burial, because it is the doctrine of
the Bible and the church that the
unbaptized are unchristian.

Saturdays. Maybe you think it'lrtake
a long while to earn enough money for
what you want. But that all depends
on yourself. Some boys make as
much as $15 a week; others make
$2, $3, $5 a week. In our handsome
booklet, t' Boys Who Make Money," some of our boys tell, in their
own way, how they got money for things they had long wanted,
by selling THE POST. This booklet is free for the asking. We
will send along with it, the complete outfit for starting in business,
including ten free copies of THE POST. You sell these at 5c the
copy, and that furnishes all the money you need for buying further
supplies. Besides the money you make each week, we give,
among other prizes, watches, sweaters, etc. And in addition
$250 in Extra Cash Prizes
each month to boys who make the biggest increase in their sales.

Barbara wandered about the great,
pleasant room restlessly. She liked the
huge fireplace, with whips and rifles
above the mantel. The couches, with
the fur robes tossed across them and
the long study table in the middle of
the room, heaped with magazines and
a varied collection of pipes, made her
forget that the nearest human habita-
tion was fifteen miles across the plains.
She paused at one of the windows,
snubbing her nose against the pane,
like a child, and looked out over the
brown, dusty plains toward the
tains. This visit to her bachelor
er was suddenly proving lonely

tailed head dubiously at the sight

making its way toward the stab!
"Me no like missy glo," he
"Weather velly bad." Then, wi
indescribable gesture not unm
with disdain, be calmly washed
bands of the matter and went on
his pie making.
Barbara found the stables dese
but Tonka nosed her softly with
come in her great eyes, and pony
girl swung eagerly out beyond the
ral to the open plain. Barbara
ered a good deal at first. The

that had hitherto made riding a
light. There was a raw wind ri

But Tonka had ideas of her own
the subject. As Barbara pulled on t
rein she shook her head again a

"Tonka," scolded Barbara, rats!
her voice above the roar of the win
"I want to go home! Don't act like
goose!"
With the aid of the whip she fins
persuaded Tonka to turn, and th

The drive of the snow was so hea
that Barbara could not see a horse
length in front of her. The cold w
so intense that she felt as if her fa
were being seared, and she began
be frightened.
"It must be a blizzard," she though
"Richard will be frantic."
For half an hour Tonka struggl
through the blinding storm, while th
frightened girl on her back clung t
the reins with numbing 'hands an
urged her on. As the cold grew u
bearable Barbara pulled the pony i
and dismounted.
"I've got to walk," she thought, "0
freeze to the saddle."
With the reins on her arm, sh
plunged on, her heart sinking mor
and more. "We are lost, Tonka," sit
said, "lost in one of those terrible bilz
zards!" She stopped to breathe an
to pound her aching hands against th
pony's side.
Suddenly Tonka lifted her head wi
a shrill whinny, which was answers
from out the storm by another whinny
Barbara looked about eagerly. "Is I
only a stray pony," she thought, "or is
some one looking for me?"
Out of the whirlwind of snow came
the shadowy form of a man, like Bar
bare, leading his horse. Barbara's
heart gave a great throb.
"Mr. Ingraham!" she gasped.
"Great heavens, Miss Barbara, what
• does this mean?" exclaimed the man,
turning his back to the gale and shout-
ing to be heard above It.
"I'm lost!" called Barbara.
"This is awful," answered the man,
his face tense. "You poor child! Why
on earth did your brother let you out
on such a day? I—I shall call him to
account for this. And I am of no use!
This is my first experience with an
American blizzard. I, too, am lost!"
Barbara's heart sank. Her month's
acquaintance with the young English-
man, who was their nearest neighbor
and who during her visit had ridden
the fifteen miles regularly three times
a week, had inspired her with a pro-
found faith in his capabilities. As he
owned himself lost, she unconsciously
moved a little closer to his stalwart
figure. The man pulled off his fur coat

"First," be said, "you will put that

"No, I won't!" she cried.
"Oh, yes, you will!" he shouted, but-

looked across the fire to the girl's
sweet, pale facet All the love that he
had so bravely suppressed during their
terrible journey welled to his voice.
"Miss Barbara, Barbara," be said
hesitatingly, "I'm glad It happened."
Barbara looked up.
"I hadn't much hope before," he went
on, "but now, somehow, you seem to
belong to me a little."
Barbara's pallor disappeared. "It
wasn't such a bad storm in some
ways," she said.
And the fire crackled appreciatively
at the pretty tableau.

The telephone in ordinary use today
is the Came as the telephone of a quar-
ter of a century ago, at least so far as
its outward appearauces go and Its re-
sults on short distance trausmisslon.
Now a New Yorker, S. P. Levenburg,
has invented an Instrument of an en-

with some of the Inconveniences of the
present telephone, says the New York
World, The transmitter and receiver
are combined in a simple -Instrument
The receiver Is provided with a horn
fixed In the proper position for the ear
when the mouth 1s near the transmit-
ter opening- Thus the hands are left
free for taking notes of jotting down
memoranda.

Half of Hie Fee,
John had the name of being the
jolliest man In town. But tonight,
which was apparently the worst night
In the year, even John wore n long
face, and as he swung his cab door
open for the minister to enter John's
doleful expression was so noticeable
that the minister inquired if he were
thinking about the work of cleaning
off the mud In the morning.
"No, it is not the work that I'm think-
ing of. If I could make as much as
you this evening I wouldn't mind it n
bit."
"Well," replied the minister, "I ata
to marry a couple this evening, and
I'll give you half of my fee for driv-
ing me out and back."
"It Is a deal," replied John.
After an hour of dreary driving
through cold and rain John drew up in
front of a small house in which the
service was to take place. It was two
long hours of cold waiting before the
minister re-entered the cab, and the
home drive was made. With a spirit
of expectancy John once more swung
open the cab door in front of the min-
ister's house. The minister stepped
out, and as he entered his own door be
turned and said:
"Five hundred thanks, John," leav-
ing the bewildered cabman to figure
out what Ws exact fee had been.—San
Francisco Chronicle.
Sugar.
Sugar, the modern commodity, which
we class among the indispensable nec-
essaries, was wholly unknown to the
ancient nations. The word "saccha-
rum" occurs but once In the Latin
translation of the Bible, and the equiv
alent for our word "sugar" is first used
by Pliny, whose writings are almost
contemporaneous with the ministry of
Christ.. He calls it "honey collected in
(from) reeds" and says that the Ro-
mans first became acquainted with its
use in Arabia Felix. Statius in his ac-
count of the old Saturnalia ceremonies
mentions "vegetable honey" as being
used and winds up his account by say-
ing that "this same honey is boiled
from Elosian reeds." Dioscorides, the
Greek physician who flourished In the
first or second century of the Christian
era and whose great work, "De Mate-
ria Medica," treats of all the then
known medicinal substances and their
properties, says that "the name of sug-
ar has been given to the honey which
is produced by reeds without bees,"
and Strabo, writing concerning It, says,
"They (the people of Arabia Felix)
make honey without bees from reeds,
and it sometimes resembles salt."
Hot; Tried For '.Harder,
Anent strange cases, a lawyer said
that a hog had been tried for murder,
convicted and hanged. "At Clarmont-

LEAVES BOTH HANDS FREE,
while waiting for the delayed answer
to a call or during a long conversation.
In this new telephone the act of rais-
ing the horn to a horizontal position
connects the instrument with the line
circuit.
This telephone Jays claim niso to
some improvements In transmitting
power. To prevent vibration of any
sort from affecting the receiver the
shell which carries the magnet and
diaphragm Is inclosed in a casing of
soft rubber. And also the born, owing
to its form, concentrates the sound
waves and forces them In one .direc-
tion. It is not necessary to apply tho
ear directly to the receiving horn. In
calling up a number one need merely
remain in the vicinity of the horn, and
after the connection has been made he
may carry on n conversation over the
telephone without holding his head at
any set position and with his hands
perfectly free to handle papers or take
down notes.
CALCIUM STEEL.
French Porcelain Which Haft Itnnl-
ltlea Akin to Metal.
Consul General Mason of Paris in a
recent report says that the so called
"calcium steel" is not any form of steel
or any other metal, but n ceramic prod-
uct, made by baking in an oven n paste
made of finely pulverized feldspar,
sand and lime in certain specifies pro-
portions.
These materials, being mixed with
water and worked into a plastic paste
resembling sculptor's clay and then
baked, produce n porcelain, or earthen-
ware, of great hardness and durability,
which resists corrosion by acids or nl-
teratiou by n$inosplierle influence, Is
a poor conductor of heat or electricity,
has a specific gravity of 3.3 antl is in
color a yellowish white, which may be
varied to any desired tint by the addi-
tion of metallic oxides.
By reason of its hardness and a cer-
tain toughness, which permits It to be
bored, cut, planed or polished—qualities
which generally belong to metals rather
than ceramics—the substance is popu-
larly called, by reason of Its ingredients
and peculiarities, "calcium steel," al-
though it is in no sense a metal and has
no relation whatever to steel.
So far as can be ascertained it has
not yet become an Industrial product of
any greet importance, although its
cheapness, ease of manufacture, tough-
ness and exceeding resistance to acids,
moisture and other deteriorating influ-
ences are thought to specially adapt It
for use ns material for subterranean
pipes and conduits for water, gas,
chemicals, etc.
Watering Streets With Sea Water.
There are now a large number of
cities on the seacoast which have re-
course to salt water for watering the
public thoroughfores, esteeming It a
veritable waste to make use of fresh
water for this purpose. They are the
more satisfied because the hydroscopic
properties of sea water avoid the ne-
cessity of frequent applications, On
the other hand, salt water exerts a
very destructive influence on the paint
and varnish of vehicles, and merchants
affirm that the salt 1a found every-
where and that Its deliquescence Is at-
tended with harmful results, and, again,
salt water is destructive to the pipes
and metallic fittings, and the leakage
of •the pipes will kill vegetation In
streets, parks and gardens.—La Nature,
Why Wood Rota.
Professor Brewer of the Sheffield
Scientific school at New Haven showed
some recent visitors an interesting ex-
hibit consisting of pieces of wood sub-
jected for years to the action of air and'
water which were es solid as if just,
sawed out ot the tree. They are need,
to illustrate the tact that vegetable like,
animal decay is a matter of germs..
Wood will remain solid almost indefl-,
nitely when protected from infection.

ten wood gains access to the vessel'

DESPERATE HEROISM.
An Incident of the Indian Fishtins
Days Io Illlnols.
The desperate intrepidity and war-
like heroism of the early settlers of II-
linois are illustrated by an incident
narrated in "Historic Illinois." The
early days were a time of hardship,
danger and death. Every forest covert,
every tuft of prairie grass, might bide
some skulking red enemy. Among the
early frontiersmen was a Otptain
Whiteside, whose name became a ter-
ror among the Illckapoos.
whiteA party of fourteen men by
Whit les de mn le an attackupon an en-
campment of Indians of greatly supe-
rior force. Only, one Indian escaped,
During the hent of the skirmish Cap-
tain Whiteside was severely wounded,
be thought mortally, having received a
shot in the side.
As he fell he called to his sons to
keep on fighting and not to yield an
inch of ground or permit the savages
to touch his body. Uel !Whiteside, who
had also been shot in the arm, so that
be could no longer use his rifle, hastily
examined his father's wound, discover-
ing that the bullet had glanced along
the ribs and lodged against the spine.
'With that daring and disregard for
pain so often characteristic of border
men be immediately whipped out his
knife, gashed the akin, extracted the
ball and held it up, crying:
"You're not dead yet, father!"
The old man leaped to his feet, re-
newed the fight and bore his full part
to the end. Many suet Instances of
heroism distinguished the men who In
those days of peril were called upon to
defend the frontiers of Illinois.
EASILY SCARED.
A* Adventure With a Rhinoceros In
Bast Africa.
Of a curious encounter lvith a rhi-
noceros an African traveler writes in
the Globe Trotter, published in Nairobi,
British East Africa: "fie was peace-
fully grazing on a choice patch of green
stuff and apparently meant to do the
well bred thing and allow us to pass
by; so, with my heart In my mouth,
nothing In my pockets and an empty
magazine rifle itt my hand, I attempted
a slide for a more at't•ure position. But
I was immediately foiled of this ob-
ject by a suspicious movement on the
part of the enemy. A swish of the tail,
a suggelltive uplifting of the snout and
a snip` of the atmosphere, and the deli-
cate and fairylike creature bore down
ponderously upon my two native bear-
ers and myself.
"My knees promptly refused to work.
I could not move muscle, and so with
all the British pluck and courage of
which we have read so much I calmly
resigned myself. By this time the hide-
out -it beauty had advanced to within ten
yards of its prey, when, to my surprise,
the two boys accompanying me hastily
'dismantled themselves of all baggage,
and, with all muscles stretched, ready
for a sprint, they stood their ground
and, without moving an Inch, began to
whistle for all they were worth.
"Quickly notipg the satisfactory re-
sult of the maneuver, I blew my
whistle hastily and with good will.
The shrill notes struck strangely on the
Untutored ear of the rhino, for he
promptly turned tall and fled."
A Short Cut.
"There goes n man," observed a
steamship agent as he directed atten-
tion to a surly looking individual who
had jest engaged passage for Europe,
"whose efforts are devoted to con-
structing abort cuts lu business meth-
ods and In eliminatiug all time con-
suming men and their propositions
from his busy exlsteuce. He is a man
of very few words. Some years ago
this gentleman crossed the ocean and
had a very unpleasant trip. One morn-
ing a sympathetic passenger offered
him a lemon, expressing a sincere wish
that it would give relief. The pale
traveler seized the lemon, hurled It
viciously into the ocean and growled:
"'This Is a quicker way than the
other.' "—New York 'Times.

As a people the floors are already

A SPECIAL SENSE,
That Which Unerringly Direct■ a
Shark to Carrion.
It is a curious thing and, so far as
present knowledge goes, quite Inex-
plicable bow a shark seems to have an
uuerring perception of the presence of
carrion. By virtue of what sense does
he know that at a distance of perhaps
a couple of tulles there is food to be
had for the picking up? It can handy
be sight, and to say that It is the sense
of smell presupposes an olfactory ap-
paratus of such marvelous delicacy
that one good whiff from an average
"harness cask" would surely burnt tho
machinery for good and all. And yet
our shark will bolt a goodly lump of
the gamiest salt pork without so much
as a wink. No, it cannot be bre nose
which leads him.
Now a tUeory bas been put forward
by naturalists that the shark possesses,
in common with the Andes condor, a
special sense, or instinct, which is de-
nied to cleaner feeding animals. The
naturalist cannot explain this sense.
He confesses, in fact, that he knows
nothing about ft. But he can gh'e It a
name. Ile calls it the "carrion sense,"
and with that name, which, of course,
explains nothing at all, expects us to
be satisfied.—Pearson's Magazine.

marks came front the teacher's cane."

Dies From Billiard Balls.
"What becomes of the wornout bil-
liard balls:'" said an Idler in a billiard
room.
"Well," the man at the desk replied,
"when a ball is only a little off it is
sent to the factory to be trued up. We
get our balls trued up until they be-
come too small for use. Then we sell
them at so much per ounce.
"After their sale they are carved into
various small trinkets, but in the main
they are made into dice. Of the forty
or fifty balls rolling and clicking busi-
ly here this evening It is safe to say
that 90 per cent of them a few years'
hence will be working just as bard in
the form of dice."
A Curious Oath,
The following curious oath was until
recent years administered In the courts
of the Isle of Man: "By this book, and
by the holy contents thereof, and by
the wonderful works that God has mi-
raculously wrought In heaven above
and in the earth beneath in six days
and seven nights, I do swear that I
will, without respect of favor or friend-
ship, love or gain, conaangnlnity or at-
finity, envy or malice, execute the laws
of this Isle and between party and par-
ty as indifferently as the herring's
backbone doth Ile in the middle of the
Bah,"

He figures that if all the living repre-

strung out in space and separated from
each other by intervals of a mile the
line would only reach one-third of the
distance to the planet Neptune. If sep-
arated by distances as great as that be-
tween London and Constantinople the
line would only reach halfway to the
nearest star.

WANTED A RAISE. SEA GULLS' EGGS.
A Story of Marshall Field and One
of His Pensioners.
Among the charities of Marshall
Field was a pension list of persons to
whom a stated sum was sent regularly
each month. With these he was gen-
erous, but he disliked being imposed
upon. One man, who had in some way
impressed Mr. Field with his deserts,
bad a cheek each thirty days or $23.
He had gone far from Mr. F'ield's
memory, but remilined on the list. Ills
pension made him quite "an eligible
party" in the circle iu which he lived,
and at last he yielded to the blandish-
ments of his landlady, an elderly, pros-
perous widow, and married her.
"Now, Henry," she said to him neat
day, "we'll just be having your pay
raised. You can't keep two as easily
as you can one. Mr. Field is a rich
man, and he will understand that. You
go down and tell him you need $30 a
month now."
Away went Henry, and after much
argument and persuasion obtained ac-
cess to the inner office of the great
merchant, where he stated bis case.
Mr. Field became interested at once.
"A widow, ell?" be inquired, smiling.
"Did she ask you or you her?"
"Well, sir," stammered Henry, "I
guess she did lead up to It."
"How old Is she?"
"About forty, sir."
"Did she support herself?"
"Yes, sir. She has a big boarding
house. I boarded with her. 1 do yet, in
fact."
"Ah, yes," said Mr. Field. "So you
want a raise, do you? Let me see.
How much was your pension? Twen-
ty-five dollars? Well, you won't have
to pay any board now, so suppose we
make It twelve and a half? That will
keep you In spending money."—youth's

of his sentences and the speaker by
his interpretation. Most of us are un-
aware of the fact that we have a nor-
mal length of sentences and that we
retain this length when possible. Re-
cent Investigations have discovered
this fact, and the evidence Is indis-
putable. The successive sentences ad-
mit of variations, but the average
1p length of sentences of any ordinary
author Is claimed to be ascertainable
from the reading of any 500 lines of his
typical works.
In English prose and poetry the
thought Is of the most Importance and
the form of expression Is but sec-
ondary. In chanting and In music the
thought is subordinated to the form,
and In these forms of expression the
rhythm Is much more prominent than
in prose or poetry. It 1s aesthetically
displeasing to have too much made
of rhythm in reading prose and poetry,
but the highest manifestations of art
are present when tbe rhythmical form
is used to express the thought. We do
not like to have that which Is most
important subordinated to the less im-
portant, but our aesthetic natures
crave rhythm, and when the best ex-
pression of thought coincides with the
production of rhythm we respond at
once with enthusiastic approval.—Wal-
ter DIlI Scott in Talent.
Toughness of the Ant.
Ants are realty very long lived, con-
sidering their minuteness. Janet had
two queens under observation for ten
years, and one of Sir John Lubbock's
ant pets ilved Into her fifteenth year.
Ants are very tenacious of life after
severe injury. Following lou of the
entire abdomen, they sometimes live
two weeks, and in one case a headiess
ant, carefully decapitated by aseptic
surgery, lived for forty-one days. A
carpenter ant after being submerged
eight days In distilled water came to
life upon being dried, so that ants are
practically proof against drowning.
They can live for long periods without
food. In one case the fast lasted near-
ly nine months before the ant starved
to death.—Sclentific American.

"I'd like to have a mess of gulls'
eggs now," said the epicure. "They
beat a hen's set; all to pieces, and nine
people out of ten eat gull eggs for
plover eggs and don't know the differ-
• ence.
"In England from Murch to May
' there are hundreds of men who make
a living by gathering gulls' eggs and
foisting them On the public for plovers'
eggs. The fens and salt marshes of
the English coast are as valuable on
account of the gulls' nests as vine-
yards or orchards. These fens rent at
a high rate. and keepers protect the
eggs from thieves the same as keepers
on noblemen's estates keep out poach-
ers.
. "Early In March the gulls pair. They
lay their eggs In the salt marshes in a
hollow or a tuft of grass. The nests
In the best marshes touch. You can't
take a step without crushing eggs un-
der foot. These eggs, olive colored,
plashed with green and gray, sell at
wholesale for 7 cents apiece. They are
called plovers' eggs.
"Each nest has, as a rule, three eggs.
When the first set Is taken from her
the female bird lays another set, and.
1f this one Is taken too she lays a
third set, which Is always left to her to
hatch, or otherwise she and her kind
would never return to the marsh again.

Promotion is very slow iu a depart-
ment store. A girl may enter a store at
$6 a week and. after live or six or sev-
en years, receive an advance of $1 a
week if she puts up a pretty stiff fight
and is a valuable saleswoman.
Her work Is not the dull grind It
might be supposed. The -hours are
long, It is true. but the continual pro-
cession of humanity which files before
her lends Interest and a certain kind
of excitement to every hour. Human
nature is wonderfully facile in its dis-
closures, and the shopgirl who has
two ideas in her head and keeps her
wits about her very soon learns the
difference between the real lady and
the spurious article. She learns to
know at a glance whether her custo-

it may be high priced goods ordered

Lapis lazuli.
Lapis lazuli, a peculiar stone, vary-

blue, comes from various parts of Asia
and has usually specks of yellow or
white iron pyrites, which some believe
to be gold or silver. The fine blue color
for painting called ultramarine is made
from lapis lazuli by grinding it Into
powder and purifying It from pyrites
and other substances which are mixed
with it in its natural state. As paint-

cult to obtain genuine since a mode of
making It artificially has been discov-
ered by chemist& The difference in
price is great. The artificial cannot be
distinguished from the real by even
the most careful chemical tests, the
only means of detecting the former be -
Ing by the microscope, which shows
the absence of the sparkling particles

real ultramarine is never free.

DRANK TO SAVE A CITY.
• Legend of the Quaint Old Town
of Rcthenbu a.
Mush Is ul:tie of the legends and his-
tory of the gnttlltt mediaeval town of
Rotheuburg, as Is natural where they
lay so much strera on their .net gio-
ries, says the \letropoittau a agazine.
The shop windows are full of big glass
cups with painted figures of the em-
peror, the seven electors and other
worthies (souvenirs for the unwary
tourist), and lu some of the decora-
tions of Inns and wine rooms a man
Is pictured drinking out of such a cup,
lccompnuled by verses alludtug to a
Georg Nusch and to a Meister -Trunk.
We wondered about it till we found
a local guide book with the explana-
tion. it seems this Nusch by his fa-
mous drink saved the town several cen-
turies ago. He was a senator and a
sou of the innkeeper of the Rother
Huhn (Red Cock), which is still stand -
Ing a little way down the street here.
Many of the inns are hundreds of years
old and are run under tbe same names
they have always borue. Well, during
the wars of the reformation this was
a Protestant town and was besieged
and taken by Tilly after a spirited
resistance. He entered the place fol-
lowed by his train and proceeded to
the Rathus, where the burgermetster
and the senators were assembled, and
In the barbarous style of those days
ordered that they all be beheaded.
Then there was such walling and en-
treaties from the wives and children
and townspeople that he finally said
he would be content with the death of
four, but the rest would not listen to
this end said all of them or none, or
something to that effect, and the bur-
germetster was sent off to get the ex-
ecutioner. At length, when everything
was In a great uproar, Tilly called for
drinks, and a trembling barmaid'
brought htrn a great stirrup cup of
Tauber wine. He drank from it and
passed it on to some of his men, and
still it wasn't emptied when suddenly
struck by Its size and being in a bet-
ter humor from the wine he said in
jest:
"If any man of you can empty this
full cup at one draft I will show mercy
and spare the town."
At this all the people stood and star-
ed, not one daring to undertake it (the
cup held three quarts) until Nusch,
thinking that would at least be the
pleasanter death and probably used to
drinking a great deal, said he would
try It, Everybody was breathlees with
suspense, fearing he would give out
before emptying the cup, but on and
on he went till the last drop wu drain-
ed. He bad only strength enough left
to hand .the cup to Tilly and say, 'Thy
promise," when he fell tainting to the
ground. Re recovered in a few days,
however, and lived to be eighty, And
Tilly kept his word.
The First Submarine Butts.
In 1644 Van Drebbel, a Dutchman,
built In London a submarine boat
which could contain twelve rowers as
well as some passengers, and on one
occasion James! I. descended beneath
,the Thames 1n the vessel. The inventor
is said to hare discovered a liquid pos-
sessing the important property of ren-
dering the air In the confined space un-
der hatches suitable for repeated in-
halation and thus to prolong the time
which could be spent under water. The
first submarine boat used In warfare,
177 7, was built by David Bushnell in
Connecticut. It was managed by one
man, who could remain thirty minutes
under water. Fulton, a New Yorker,
made one to hold eight men, who could
be supplied with air for eight hours
under water.
Fans as Dustpans.
In Japan the uses of the fan are
many and various. They are wielded
by men, women and children, by sol-
dier and civilian. A butterfly shaped
fan In the hands of the umpire at a
wrestling match is made to convey all
sorts of messages, which are promptly
understood rind attended to by the com-
batants. Grain is winnowed by the
farmer with a stout fan, and the do-
mestic servant not only fans the em-
bers of a charcoal fire, but she also
uses her coarse paper fan as a dust-
pan for taking up the ashes.
A Ship's Speed.
A ship's speed is reckoned by knots,
a knot being a geographical mile, or
one -sixtieth of a degree. Six geograph-
ical miles are about equal to seven
statute miles, and a ship that sails 12
knots therefore is really moving at the
rate of fourteen statute miles an hour.
It should he remembered that It is iL
correct to say so many "knots an
hour," simply so many knots, for a
knot means "one mile an hour."

LINCOLN'S WIT.
That and Ridicule Were His Weep-
ottyt 08 Ogenae and Defense.
Wit and ridicule were Lincoln's
weapons of offense aad,defense, uud
he probably bnlghcd more jury eases
out of court than any other man who
practiced at the bar.
"I once heard Mr. Lincoln defend a
man In Blooutinmon against a charge
Of passing counterfeit money," Vice
President Stevenson told the writer.
"There was n pretty clear case against
the accused, but when the chief wit-
ness for the people took the stand he
stated that his name was J. Parker
Green, and Lincoln reverted to this
the moment be rose to cross examine.
'Why J. Parker Green? What did the
J. stand for? John? Well, why didn't
the witness call himself John P. Green?
That was his name, wasn't it? Well,
what was the reason be did not wish
to be known by his right name? Did J.
Parker Green have anything to con-
ceal, and, If not, wily did J. Parker
Green part his name In that way?'
And so on. OL course tka_whule exam-
ination was fareleal," Mr. Stevenson
Said, "but there was something irre-
sistibly funny In the varying tones and
inflections of Mr. Lincoln's roice as he
rang the changes upon the man's
name, and at the recess the very boys
in the street took It up as a slogan and
shouted 'J. Parker Green!' all over the
town. Moreover, there was something
in Lincoln's way of intoning his ques-
tions which made me suspicious of the
witness, and to this day I have never
been able to rid my mind of the absurd
Impression that there was something
not quite right about J. Parker Green.
It was all nonsense, of course; but the
jury must have been affected as I was,
for Green was discredited and the de-
fendant went free Frederick Trevor

THE GNU IS A PUZZLE.
It hems to Be a Crops Between the
Herne, Cow and Deer.
Did you ever hear of a horned horse?
It is called the gun and is a native of
South Africa. The gnu Is a puzzle.
We have called It t1 horse, but It Is
more tike a cow. It really seems to be
a cross between the Horse, the cow and
the deer. It has the head and horns
of a cow, the tall, the mane and with-
ers of the horse and the legs of a deer.
Altogether the gnu Is one of the most
singular creatures on earth.
The gnu inhabits the hilly districts
of South Africa, roaming all over the
country in vast herds. As far as trav-
elers have yet penetrated it is found,
and it Is fortunate that it is so, for the
Seth of the gnu forms excellent food.
They are, however, extremely wild,
and, being very quick in their move-
ments, are difficult to shoot. Upon the
first alarm the whole herd scamper
away In single file, following a leader.
When seen from a distance they look
like a troop of horses.
Their speed is very great, and when
first disturbed they do not exert it, but
kick out their heels and begin bntttng
at anything that comes in their way,
exblbtting the greatest fury. Unless
hard pressed they seldom abow fight,
but when brought to bay they will de-
fend themselves desperately. They
dart forward upon their enemy with
great fury, and unless he remains cool
and collected he probably will not es-
cape.

THE LODGE.
In Malay Towns It Hu Become the
Great Social Center.
The lodge has become the social cen-
ter of many a town. It is so to a
greater degree perhaps in the west
than In the east. Ou the plains dis-
tances between population centers are
greater, the ties of old family acquaint-
ance are lacking, the fraternal order is
the one thing that know no barrier of
wealth or position. The taet that many
of the orders admit men and women to
their membership en the same terms
adds to the strength of the social
claim; it also brings about odd situa-
tions.
"I am going downtown tonight," re-
marked a country town hanker one
evening to his wife. "The lodge meets
this evening."
"That will leave ire alone," was the
response, "for Anna" (their one serv-
ant) "!s going to lodge too."
"Yes," agreed the husband. "We be-
long to the same ledge."

A DROP OF WATER.
It 1s a Midget World Teeming With
Struggling Lite.
In a single drop of unaltered water
may be seen In miniature the tragedy
that goes on perpetually lu the world
at large, for In the little drop there Is
a whole universe of lite, with all Its
terrible and death dealing competition,
with all its mystery and woe.
It was a French biologist who in-
vented the method by which this won-
derful state of things is demonstrated.
He called the method the "hauging
drop slide," and it is beautifully sim-
ple. A drop of water from the edge of
an brdinary pond Is placed 1n a hol-
lowed out space ops a small strip of
glass and sealed with a bit of thinner
glass. And now day atter day and
night after night tete hideous business
going on In that one drop of perfectly
clear and apparently pure water may
be watched and studded at the leisure
of the observer.
The drop of water is a world in It-
self. Multitudes of animals swim
about in it with plenty of room. The
giant worms with tremendous swish-
ing tails, of whose approach one Is
made aware by the confusion and pan-
ic of the smaller creatures scurrying
out of the way In fear of their lives,
and countless bacteria inhabit that
drop as their permanent and proper
home and their ranging place.
Alcohol In Cold Weather.
A scientist thus expiates why it is so
dangerous to use alcohol in the polar
regions: A moderate use of alcohol
causes a deposit of fat. Alcohol is not
turned into fuel in the muscle and
nerve cells, but serves as a pure fuel
In the organism and replaces the com-
bustion of fat. Alcohol is therefore
dangerous in the extreme cold because
It assists the throwing off of heat in a
great degree. The effect is as 1f a
stove In a room should be heated red-
hot and then all the doors end windows
thrown open. Heat produced by mus-
cular work In the body is best obtained
from carbohydrates in the foo& but,
besides this, the indtspeneable proahc-
tion of heat is best obtained by fats.
This explains the instinctive choice of
the food of men. In the tropics they
eat little fat and much fruit, while the
polar dweller requires immense quanti-
ties of fat to keep up the bodily com-
bustion.

must expect to be thrown In the shade.
ORIGINAL JACK HORNER.
Be Really Existed and Got a "Pians..
bat Was Not a Good Boy.
Jack Horner of the Christman pie
really existed, though whether be de-
served the title of "good boy" is ex-
ceedingly doubtful Ile was, however,
a fortunate rogue.
When Henry VIII. suppressed the
monasteries and drove the monks from
their nests the title deeds of the Abbey
of Meiia were demanded by the com-
missioners. The abbot of Glastonbury
determined that be would send them
to London, and as the documents were
very valuable and the road Infested
with thieves It was difficult to get
them to the metropolis safely.
To accomplish this end be devised a
very Ingenious plan. He ordered a
savory pie to be made, and inside he
put the documents, the finest filling a
pie ever bad, and intrusted this dainty
to a lad named Horner to carry up to
London to deliver safely into the hands
for whom it was intended.
But the journey was loug and the
day cold, and the bo)' was hungry, and
the pie was tempting, and the chance of
detection was small.
So the boy broke off a piece of the
pie and beheld a parchment within. He
pulled it forth, Innocent enough, won-
dering how It could have found its way
there tied up in pastry, and arrived In
town.
The parcel was delivered, but the
title deeds of Melts abbey were miss-
ing.
The fact was that Jack had them in
his pocket. These were the juiciest
plums In the pie. Great was the rage
of the commissioners and heavy the
vengeance they dealt out to the monks,
But Master Jack Horner kept his
secret, and when peaceable times were
restored he claimed the estates and re-
ceived them.

The gaseous elements exist In our
body in a state of very great conden-
sation, since under ordinary conditions
of temperature and pressure eighty-
elgbt pounds of oxygen wouM- occupy
a volume of more than 1,000 cubic feet
and fourteen pounds of hydrogen one
of 2,600 cubic feet. The above men-
tioned elements forming an infinite
variety of compounds and constantly
undergoing chemical transformation go
to make up the human body, which Is
in a constant state of decay and reno-
vation. This, however, is not apparent
to the eye, and one of the great enig-
mas of animal life Is the permanence
of form maintained despite the contin-
ual change of substance. This change
is so rapid that, according to the cal-
culations of Liebig, Ifoleschott and
other eminent physiologists, the great-
er part of the material of the body is
renewed every twenty or thirty days
and not, as generally assumed, only
once in seven years.
Nervous Folks and Diet.
As a rule, salt meat is not adapted to
the requirements of nervous people, as
nutritious juices go into the brine to
a great extent- Fish of all kinds is
good for them. Raw eggs, contrary to
the common opinion, are not as digesti-
ble as those that hare been well cooked.
Good bread, sweet butter and lean
meat are the best food for the nerves.
People troubled with insomnia and
nervous starting from sleep and sensa-
tions of falling can often be cured by
limiting themselves to a diet of milk
alone for a time. An adult should take
a pint at a meal and take four meals
a day. People with weakened nerves
require frequently a larger quantity of
water than those whose nerves and
brains are strong. It aids the digestion
of these by making it soluble and
seems to have a direct tonic effect.
Sulphur Baths For Rheumatism.
Sulphur baths are of value in rheu-
matism. Take one tablespoonful of
burnt lime. Mix into a paste with one
wineglassful of cold water, and let It
remain for ten minutes. Then stir into
one gallon of water. To this add one
ounce of milk of sulphur. Raise to
the boiling point in a suitable vessel
and keep boiling for ten minutes. Now
transfer to the bath, and add two gal-
lons of bot water. Use when pleasant-
ly warm. Keep from the face, as the
particles of sulphur, etc., are Intensely
Irritating to the eyes.

LEGENDS OF OLD MINES.
The Value of the Records of Past
Production.
American mining engineers are fa-
miliar with speculative schemes, bas-
ed upon the real or supposed former
productiveness of the mines upon
which they are started. To say noth-
ing of such enterprises as that of Rich-
ard Burton, who thought he had redis-
covered in Egypt the sources of Solo-
mon's treasure (itself somewhat myth-
ical), there are more recent instances
in abundance. The books of Huth-
boldt and Ward on Mexico gave rise
in the first half of the nineteenth cen-
tury to an immense and disastrous in-
vestment of English capital in the un -
watering of old Mexican gold and sli-
ver mines on the strength of reports
from "government archives," showing
their immense production and sundry
legends, accounting for their temporary
abandonment. In the prospectuses of
such schemes, references to pestilence,
war, quarrels among owners, etc., as
the causes of the interruption of an al-
most incredibly profitable. business are
well known features.
No doubt all ancient evidence, wheth-
er historical or legendary, has its value
for mining enterprises, but it is well to
bear in mind that Mexican miners did
not usually leave rich ore when they
stopped working a mine, and there is
another proposition, applicable to many
mines outside of Mexico, yet too often
overlooked—namely, the record of past
production is a measure not of what Is
lett, WO what is not teff; In-the--

GOOD CHEER AT MEALS.
The Value of Laughter as an Aid to
Digestion.
Nothing else will take the place of
good cheer and laughter at meals or
any other time In the home. There is
a vital connection between amiability
and digestion—between good cheer and
assimilation. Laughter is the best
friend the liver has and depression or
melancholia its worst enemy. Numer-
ou8 experiments have shown that mirth
and cheerfulness stimulate the secre-
tion of the gastric juices and are pow-
erful aids to digestion. Tet, knowing
this, many of us sit as gloomy and ab-
sorbed at the table as at a funeral.
In many homes scarcely a word is
spoken at meals outside of requests for
an article of food.
The meal hour ought to mean some-
thing besides supplying a mere animal
function. The bell which calls the
family to the table ought to be the sig-
nal for a good time generally, when
all cares should be thrown off and ev-
erybody appear at his best. It ought
to signalize the time for mirth and
laughter. It ought to be looked for-
ward to by the members of the fami-
ly as the recess or nooning is looked
forward to by pupils in school as a let-
up from the strenuous life.—Orison
Swett Marden in Success Magazine.
Mushrooms.
An enthusiast on the subject of mush-
rooms says there is no more reason
to mistake a good mushroom for a
poisonous toadstool than to confound
nightshade with huckleberries. The
distinctions are clear and simple and
easily (earned. Real mushrooms are
known by their beautiful pink gills,
not reaching the stem, which stem car-
ries a well [narked white woolly ring;
by the very fleshy down covered top,
the delicious and enticing fragrance,
the firm, white flesh, sometimes in-
clined to pink when cut or broken.
One or two rules In regard to gathering
mushrooms, we are told, will remove
all the peril from the pursuit of them.
Examine carefully every specimen you
gather. If at all doubtful, throw it
away. Show it to somebody that
knows. Never cook mushrooms un -
leas you know they are gathered by
somebody that knows.
Bottles.
Ancient bottles of glass, stone and
metal have been found In many parts
of Europe, Asia and Africa. Perfume
bottles of glass have been discovered
in great numbers in the tombs of
wealthy ladles of Egypt. Many bot-
tles, tumblers and other drinking ves-
sels have been dug from the ruins of
Pompeii. The most common bottle of
the ancients, however, was of leather,
the akin of a calf, goat or ox being
taken off the carcass with as few cuts
as possible and made into a receptacle
for bolding water or wine. The largest

The Proposed Gas Plant.
The proposition of E. C. Anthony
to begin the preliminaries for a
modern gas plant in this city in con-
nection with the excavations for
water and sewerage is entitled to a
favorable consideration at the hands
of the council. It seems fair and
just to all concerned. The increas-
ing scarcity of fuel and the uncertain-
ty in price caused by strikes and
railroad combinations are warnings
to provide something cheaper and
more reliable for at least cooking
purposes, if not also for lighting. A
franchise should be granted at once,
in order that there may be no delay
in ordering the necessary piping and
arranging for the proportionate share
of the labor involved. It is a matter
in which every citizen is vitally
interested.
The I'uited States supreme court
holds that state courts have no
jurisdiction in divorce cases where
one of the parties lives outside of the
state, and the proceedings had under
service by publication are null and
void. It affects a large proportion
of the divorces heretofore granted
in Minnesota, although the ease in
issue was from Connecticut.
Mr. and Mrs. (2. Amundson, a

Present Messrs. Matteson, McShane,
Schaller, Sumtion Torrans anti Playing by Sweeping the Strings
With a Feather.
Open wide your plauo so that the
wires are exposed. Over the wires
place sheets of music, and when you
strike a tone you will find that It has
a rattling sound. If now you play a
tune In the same manner, with the
sheets of music still lying on the
strings, it will sound as if the instru-
ment were a banjo. Anyhow, it is -a
good imitation.
Now remove the music sheets and
press down gently, but firmly, the
keys belonging to any cord. Take the
simple cord C, E, J1, for example.
The keys must be pressed down with-
out sounding then, and held down
while some ono gently brushes the
strings with a feather or a straw. The
effect will be as If the cord were play.edvery farsoft away and Is heard by you as
Change the cord, always pressing
down the keys without sounding them,
while the feather still sweeps the
strings lightly. I11 this way you may
modulate or play a slow piece, and the
effect will be very beautiful, Indeed, as
11 beard from a great distance.
The reason of this Is that ordinarily
a damper rests milted each string,
but when the corresponding key is
struck or pressed dowu the damper is
raised. In sweeping the strings with
the feather, lightly, only the strings
that are undatupered sound, the others
being held mute by the dampers, but
if the touch of the feather Is too heavy
even the other stringe may sound, so
your care must be In making a light
and delicate touch.
Now .pry! down a key gently and
bold It. Strike very hard the octave
above this key, but do not bold It after
striking the tone. When the wire of
the tone struck has been sufficiently
dampered, so that it does not sound so
loud, the pressed down key will be
beard to "sing" ,•!early, even though
It was not struck. 'Pills Is because
every note struck Is composed of sev-
eral notes, being In reality a cord in
Itself, and each note contained in that
cord causes the correspouding note in
the keyboard to vibrate, or "sing," In
sympathy If held down in like man-
ner.
The other notes that will sound under
these conditions will always be the
fifth above the octave, the second oc-
tave and the third and fifth above that,
and these tones that sound are called
"overtones."

OLD TIME LEGAL METHODS,
When the Evidence of Ghosts Sufficed
to Haag Men.
The testimony of a ghost would not
now couut for much 1n a court of law,
but the day has been when it has
,sufficed to hang a man. There was a
ghostly accuser in a case with which
the readers of Scott are familiar. Soon
after the "45" an English soldier wan-
dering near Braemar met a violent
death. Years passed and then came a
story of a communication from another
world.
A farm servant declared that In the
night a spirit had appeared to him de-
claring itself to be the ghost of the
soldier, whose bones, it Is said, lay
still unburied. The highlander must
see to their decent Interment and
have the murderers, two ,uet1 named,
brought to justice. The higbiauder
promised, but did not keep hes word,
and a second and third time the splrlt
appeared and upbraided him for his
breach of faith. Alarmed at last and
no longer daring to delay, the man
called a companion and went to the
spot which the spirit had indicated
and there found the bones of the mur-
dered warrior concealed In a moorland
tract called the hill of Christie.
The story of the highlander came to
the ears of an anti -Jacobite, who caus-
ed the matter to be brought to trial
before the court of judiciary, Edin-
burgh. There the tale was corroborat-
ed by a woman who bad seen a naked
figure enter the place on the night
spoken of by the man. It was an age
of superstition in t! district more than
commonly given to superetttion, and
the jury seemed disposed to find the
two men charged guilty of the murder,
but it happened that the principal wit-
ness spoke only Gaelic. "Now," said
the counsel for the defense, "In what
language did the ghost speak?" "In
as good Gaelic as I ever heard In Loch-
aber," was the reply. "Pretty good for
the ghost of an English soldier," said
counsel, and that question and com-
ment saved the necks of the men at the
bar. The jury could believe In a ghost,
but not in an English ghoslt speaking
Gaelic.—London Standard.
NAMING A TOWN.
How Abilene Caine to Be Selected by
Mrs. Hersey.
Abilene was named by the wife of
the founder of the town, T. F, Iiersey.
With her husband she had come to
central Kansas in tbe spring of 1857.
They lived in a log house on the west
side of Mud creek and were the first
settlers on the town site, although no
town then existed nor was there one
until 1860. Then 0. H. Thompson, who
had moved to the county from Leaven-
worth, bought from the Kansas Pa-
cific Railway company a tract east of
Hersey's and laid out a town.
When it came to the naming of the
future city Dir. Thompson went to
Hersey and asked hien to suggest a
name.
"No," was the reply, "let my wife
do it. She is a great reader."
Mrs. Hersey was a graduate of a
seminary In the east, and her little
library, which she carried with her in
her wanderings, was one of the ties
that bound her to the girlhood life. She
was a devout Methodist and knew her
Bible from "cover to cover." When
she Was asked to name tbe town she
THE BLUEFISH BRIGADE.
What Happens When the Blues Make
a Charge Upon Menhaden.
"When menhaden or herring are
driven upou the beach by bluefish, as
they often are, so that they can be
carried off by the cart load," said a
Asherman, "there is very seldom found
among them one of their pursuers, and
If one Is found it is likely to be a fish
that Is diseased or that bas been hurt
in some way. The bluefish follows to
the very verge of the water, but there
it stops, and it is so powerful and
alert a swimmer that, close as it is, It
still easily keeps clear of the land.
The menhaden or herring are no mean
swimmers. Tbey could come as close
and keep off the shore as easily as the
bluefish do, but not when the bluefish
are after them. Then they are like
men pursued to the edge of a preci-
pice. It is almost certain death to
jump, but they must do that or turn
and take the chances of breaking
through the pursuing line.
"When the bluefish—there may be
8,000 or 4,000 of them together—sight
a school of menhaden, they go for It
like a brigade of heavy cavalry, cut-
ting and slashing, snapping and biting
right and left. The menhaden are sim-
ply overborne by superior weight, and
there Is nothing for them to do but
flee. If they are driven toward the
shore, the land is to them what the
precipice would be to the man. They
must take it or they must tura and try
to fight their way through. Many do
turn and -try to swim under or over
or around the savage bluefish, and
some escape iu this way, and some are
snapped up, and some are maimed and
then cast ashore, and many of them,
crowding together, are so closely press-
ed that they are practically forced
ashore.
"Sometimes fish that are not cast up
very far flop down into the water
again. A high wave may set some
free. A fish thus liberated may find
its tins so damaged that it can't swim,
and it is cast up again. Weakened by
Its rough experience, it may fall a prey
to some of the bluefish yet lingering
offshore. It may escape."—New York
News.
SERIES OF SHIPWRECKS.
The Moat Singular Chain of Marine
Accidents on Record.
The most singular series of 8111p -
wrecks on record began with the loss
of the English merchantman Mermaid,
which was driven on the rocks of Tor-
res strait In October, 1829. The officers
and crew clung to the shattered vessel,
which was held fast upon a sunken
ledge, until, a few minutes before the
doomed ship went to pieces, a passing
frigate picked them up.
The Swiftsure, as the latter craft
was called, resumed her northward
course, to be foundered In a terrific
gale three days later.
Her combined crews were saved by
the warship Governor Ready, en voy-
age India, May 18, 1830. The last
named, overtaken by a storm, was

crews to a man succeeding In reach-

floor dead by her son, who went to
caf1'J r to breakfast. She was partly
dressed, W. S. Walbridge, deputy
coroner, viewers the remains, but
deemed it Unnecessary to hold an
inquest, Miss Laura Barrows was
born at Ellery, N. Y., Dee. 31st, 1822
and was married at Amherst, 0 ,
Oct. 251h, 1840. They came to this
city July 9th, 1854, when Hastings
was somewhat of a wilderness. Mr.
Johnson.died Jan. 21st, 1888. Mrs.

woman, a devoted wife and kind
mother, and her death will be
mourned by a large circle of friends.

Nate of the Electric Light Plant.
The Electric Light and Milling

e plant to J. Rosholt, Nels Eoge, and
William Robertson, of Minneapolis,
receiving in exchange a steam
flouring mill and elevator at Abe r•
. crombie, N. D., the transfer taking
• place May 1st. The new company will
pot in a plant at the Vermillion,
generating a large proportion of the
required electric power by water,
with an all day and all night service,
something that has long been needed
here. They are men of means, and
wilt be a great addition to our
business circles, with plenty of
capital to install one of the best
electric plants in the northwest. It
will no doubt prove a profitable in-
vestment,

in a few weeks to take personal
charge of the Dakota business. He

"Mischief afoot, but where?" she

she whisked about the trim kitchen,

Lad overlooked them all — unless it
were—Miss Prue gave a great start.
There was the root of the trouble; its
name, Videlia Bane. Jimmy had rath-
er made up to her in the weeks just
before Peggy came. Now that she
thought of it, he had squired Della to
church two Sundays running, besides
bnytng many things for her at the
strawberry supper and fair. And Del-
la, it was well known, wanted to mar-
ry and settle herself. She had three
younger sisters crowding her in the
home nest. Naturally she would do
what she could to hold Jimmy, the best
chance in all Easton town.
But how she had done it Miss Pru-
dence could not fathom, although she
studied the problem almost to the det-
riment of her diener. She sat down to
it still puzzled. Jimmy greeted her
and the dinner rapturously and talked
a great deal of his appetite and of
many other things, but somehow did
not eat with his usual zest, although
he made a fair meal. Nobody with a
palate could help doing that with such
things as Miss Prudence set before
him. Jimmy assured Margaret more
than once that if such cooking ran in
the family her future husband was the
luckiest fellow alive.

Concerning Oranges.
An eminent Japanese bacteriologist
has shown that the acids of lemons, rip-
ples and other fruits—citric acid, malls
acid—are capable of destroying all
kinds of disease germs. Cholera germs
are killed In fifteen minutes by lemon
juice or apple juice, and typhoid fever
germs are killed in half an hour by
these acids, even when considerably
diluted. If you squeeze fl lemon into
a glass of water containing cholera
germs and let it stand fifteen of twenty
minutes you may drink the water with
impunity, as the germs will be dead.
These juices will kill other disease
germs. Instead of telling a man to

TIRED FEELING SERUM.
Scientist Claims to Have Found Anti
toxin i'or Fatigue.
Herr Dr. Wolfgang \Veichardt a sun
je('t of Emperor \'illiam, has disco
ered 1115 antitoxin for fatigue, which
introduced luso the weary body, re
stores the latter- to Its normal condi
tion in a comparatively short tim
without requiring any sleep, says th
Chicago llecurd-Relaid.
Letters patent have just been grant
ed to Pr. \I'elchardt on his lnnentlot
and his process of making the anti
toxin, so it may I! token for granter
that the discovery is uo mere liguien

contain the fatigue antitoxins and con-
sequently have the effect when intro-
duced Into the fatigued body or human
organism that the same recovers its
normal condition in a comparatively
short time without requiring any sleep.
For this purpose muscular fatigue is
luduced In bores or other suitable ani-
mals, preferably tip to the c•o:nmeucc-

Link carrying the locking plate. The
latter Is flat, the end curved to engage
the stopcock and is fastened rigidly to
the connecting link. It will be appar-
ent that in the attachment of the de-
vice It is merely necessary to place the
clamp upon the gas pipe and against the
link to hold the locking plate against
the stopcock when the latter Is closed.
When It Is desired to turn on the gas
the finger of the operator lifts the lock-
ing plate with the same movement
used In turning the stopcock. When
the giis Is on the locking plate rests in
the position shown by the dotted lines,
but when the gas Is turned off the lock-
ing plate returns under the tension of
its spring to normal position, thus
locking the cock against accidental
turning.

ERRATIC ENGINES
Locomottees That Act as Though
They Were Bewitched.
Toll never see a ship launched on a
Friday, and similarly a new locomotive
hardly ever makes it trial trip on that
day or on the lath of the Month. Even
though the superintendent nifty jeer at
the superstition. yet he knows too well
to set It at naught, for just as sailors
consider that surae ships are unlucky
so do train hands credit certain loco-
motives with a sort of denloninenl pos-
session.
It is certainly very strange the dif-
ference thnt may Ise ubserred between
two locomotives limit from the same
plans. nt the tante time, "f similar ma-
terial. One gee's on her way quietly
and smoothly, never breaks down, costs
little or nothing for repairs. The other
causes trouble from the very first, runs
off the line, kills the drivers, gets into
accidents of all kinds and generally
acts :18 thoiigh possessed by some evil
spirit.
There was a famous Instance some
years ago on the South Florida rail-
way. A locomotive killed so many peo-
ple that she gut the u:une of "the
hearse," and no fewer than three en-
gine drivers nctually left, the employ
of the company rather than continue
driving her. The odd thing was that
she never seemed to Injure herself.
Eventually the owners were forced to
break her up, although she wns by no
meaus worn out.
Of actual ghosts in trains or railway
engines one very seldom bears.—New
York Herald.
The Art of Flattery.
There are those who lune till instinct
which prompts them to offer verbal ea-
resses to all with whom they come in
contact, and there is no doubt that, if
such people are gifted at the same.time
with good hearts, they greatly sweeten
life. They do not know bow to say,
much less write, a disagreeable sen-
tence. They see with their mind's eye
the exact spot where a flattering word
would produce pleasure or salve a
smart, and the temptation to say it is
very great. The pleasure they produce
delights them, and they study to pro-
duce it again. No doubt they practice
an art. but not a very black art, and It
is difficult not to IILe them, especially
if they are worsen. Ileal flattery—the
really false article can hardly exist
with a warm heart. Plenty of folly and
too much desire to be popular may go
with that, but nothing else.—Family
Herald.
Church Built of Bulrushes.
The first phtce of worship In Western
Australia was unique in two respects—
the materials of which It was built and
also the several purposes to which It
was devoted. This remarkable building
was made at Perth by soldiers shortly
after their first arrival in 1829 and
was composed almost entirely of bul-
rushes. In addition to its use on Sun-
days for divine worship, It occasional-
ly served as an amateur theater dur-
ing the week and during the whole
time as a barracks.
The Pawnbroker's Sign.
The pawnbroker's sign came from
the sign used by the Lombard bankers,
who took it from the sign used by the
Medici fatuity of Florence. The found-
er of the house had been a medlcus,
or physician. Ilis descendants became
bankers and brokers, and their sign
was their ancestor's golden pills.
When they became nobles they assum-
ed as arms six golden pills or balls on
a blue field.

ANCIENT WATER VILLAGES.
Relic of Old Custom. Prevailing In
the "'Spreewatd,"
One of the most interesting regions
In the "old fatherland" is the so called
"Spreewald," the forest of the Spree,
situated not far from the German cap-
ital, In the province of Brandenburg.
Each village 1s a little Venice, every
house a little island, and these islets
are connected by bridges sufficiently
raised to allow boats to pass under
them. Most of the houses, with their
barns and stables, rest on pates, and
there is generally a strip of artificial
terra firma either In front or at the
rear of every building. By means of
these land strips and of the bridges
the slender land comtuuuiestion Is kept
throughout the district, but most of the
business and amusement are carried
on through the canals, which not only
form the main highways, bet penetrate
and cross and recross the whole re-
gion, It Is on these lagoons that all
traffic is conducted In boats during
the period from spring when the last
vestiges of frost and lee ere disappear-
ing until the end of nuttitms. You see
the letter carrier shoot nip and down
the canals, performing his duties In his
frail craft; the police slide leisurely
along the banks, watching everything
going on; peasants bring the products
of their toll to the nearest towns; chil-
dren go to and from seba(al; young
mothers, dressed In thelr Sunday
clothes, are rowed to eberi b, carrying
in their arms a small, queer looking

had been sandwiched between the two
parts of the sentence.
After heariug the words "f=low loug"
the doctor had dozed oft, dreamed that
after long and tedious experiments he

Trading In Your Own Town.
A right that belongs to oyer- citizen

But there 18 an economic side Of the

How Snakes Move and. Climb.
The vertebrae of a snake are fitted.
together by a kind of ball and socket
articulation, which, however, Is capa-
ble of only lateral or side to side mo-
tion. A snake moves by propelling
himself on the points of his scales, :
which, to him, answer the purpose of
ribs. A snake does not climb a tree
or a bush by coiling around it, as most
people who have not investigated the I
matter believe, but by balancing him-
self very evenly and bolding on with
the points and edges of his scales. A
snake on a pane of glass or other pol-
ished surface where the scales cannot
take hold is almost perfectly helpless.

THE GIANTS OF OLI>
ANCIENT RACES MARVELS OF PHYS-
ICAL DEVELOPMENT.
The Setalb,arbarian• of One Thousand
Tears Ago Were All Remarkably
Proportioned Men—The Giant• of
Ancient Greece and Rome.
That the human race has degener-
ated In size as well as longevity is a
fact well attested by various authori-
ties. A prominent Washington physi-
cian who has made a ilfe study of
brain and cerebral developments, says
that, ou visiting the catacombs of Par-
is, what struck him most in those vast
repositories of the contents of the
city's anelent graveyards was t
great size of the skulls In compacts
with those of more modern mankin
This superiority of developmeut In t
Epp who lived 1,000 years or more a
the scientist attributes to the open a
life then in vogue and the physic
sports and exercises indulged in.
There are several races of gian
mentioned In the Bible, and the Gree
and Roman historians have record
many examples which serve to sho
that these specimens of elongated It
manity were by no means rare at of
period of the world's history.
Thus It is mentioned that the Emper
or Maximtan was eight feet some inc
es high. The body of Orestes, accord
ing to the Greeks, was eleven and
half feet in height, the giant Galbor
brought from Arabia to Rome unde
Claudius Caesar, measured near to
feet, and the bones of Secondllla an
Pusio, keepers of the gardens of Sal
lust, were but six Inches shorter.
The probability Is that outside of cul
tivated Greece and Rome among th
semibarbarous of the greater part o
present day European nations pbyslca
development reached often to wor
wondrous proportions.
The Chevalier Scory in his voyage t
the peak of Tenerife says that the
found In one of the sepulchral caveru
of that mountain the head of
Guanche which had eighty teeth an
that the body was not less than flfteet
feet long. The giant Ferragus, slap
by Orlando, nephew of Charlemagne
was eighteen feet high.
Revland, a celebrated anatomist wit
wrote In 1614, says that some year
before that time there was to be seet
in the suburbs of St. Germane the
tomb of the giant Isoret, who was
. twenty feet high.
At Rouen In 1509, in diggiug In the
ditches near the Dominlcamo, there
was fouud a stone tomb containing,a
skeleton whose shin bone reached up
to the girdle of the tallest man there,
being about four feet long. and conse-
quently the body must have been sev-
enteen or eighteen feet high. Upon the
tomb was a plate of copper upou which
was engraved, "In this tomb lies the
noble and puissant lord, the Chevalier
Ruou de Valiemont, and his bones."
There Is, indeed, evidence In the pon-
derous armor and two banded swords
which remain to us In museums to
prove that the knight of the ages of
chivIary was a heroic specimen of hu-
man architecture.
Piaterins, a famous physician, de-
clared that he saw at Lucerne the true
human bones of a subject who must
have been at least nineteen feet high.
Valance, in Dauphine, boasts of pos-
sessing the bones of the giant Bucart,
tyrant of the Vivarais, who was slain
by an arrow by the Count de Cablllon,
his vassal. The Dominicans bad a part
of his shin bone, with the articulation
of the knee, and his figure painted in
fresco, with an inscription showing
. that this giant won twenty-two and
one-half feet high /and that his bones
were found In 175 near the banks of
the Moder', a littl river at the foot of_
the mountain of Cresol, upon which
(tradition says) the giant dwelt.
On Jan. 11, 1633, some masons dig-
ging near the ruins of a castle in
Dauphine, in a locality which had long
been known as the Giant's field, at the
dep . of eighteen feet discovered a
brick tomb thirty feet long, twelve
feet wide and eight feet high, on which
was a gray stone, with the words
"Theotobochus Rex" cut thereon.
When the tomb was opened they found
a human skeleton, entire, twenty-five
and one-half feet long, ten feet wide
across the shoulders and five feet deep
from the breastbone to the back. The
'teeth were each about the size of an
ox's foot, and his shin bone measured
four feet.
Near Margareno, in Slclly, in 1516,
was found a giant thirty feet high.
His head was the size of a hogshead,
and each of his teeth weighed five
Ounces.
Near Palermo, In the valley of Ma-
gara, in Sicily, a skeleton of a giant
thirty feet long was found in the year
1548 and another thirty-three feet high
in 1550. Several of the gigantic bones
of the latter subject are still preserved
by private persons in Italy.
The Athenians found thirty-two fa-
mous skeletons, one thirty-four and
another thirty-six feet in height.
At Tolle, In Bohemia, In 758, was

could acareely be encompussed by the
arms of two teen together and whose
legs, which are still preserved In the
castle of the city, were twenty-six feet
long.
The celebrated English scientist, Sir
Haus Sloane, who treated the matter
very learnedly, does not doubt the
facts above narrated, but thinks the
bones were those of elephants, whales
or other animals. But It has been well
remarked that, while elephants' bones
may be shown for those of giants to
superficial observers, this can never
impose upon such distinguished anat-
omists as have testified in many cases
to the -mammoth bones being unmis-
takably human.—Philadelphia Record.
AN ECHO.
glow to M the Distance Prom
Which It IN Reflected.
There is scarcely anything In nature
that exerts the fascination over every
one alike than docs an echo, and com-
mon as It may become there is always
a feeling of mystery about It that holds
us as with a charm. Of course we all
know that it is merely the reflection
of a sound from some object, as the
side of a house or a rock or a hill, but
often we caunot tell how far away the
object is that causes it. Here is a way
to tell every time:
Holding a watch In your hand, shout
a single syllable, as "1Io!" or "iia!"
and count the number of secouds from
the time you shout till the sound comes
back to you. Now, sound travels at
the rate of 1,125 feet a second, so the
number of seconds that elapse multi-
plied by 1,125 will give the distance lu
feet traveled by the voice in going to
the object and back to you again, and
one-half of that number will be the
number of feet away that object is.
Of coarse the object may be only a
fen- hundred feet away, In which case
the sound will come back lu less than
a second, but you cony determine the
distance, nevertheless, by calling a
single syllable—"Ile!"—and calling it
again as you hear the echo, not before
or after It, but just with It.
With a little practice you can do this.
Repeat the call ten or twelve times,
counting the seconds between' the first
call and the last echo. Suppose, for
example, that the time Is seven sec-
onds and that you called the syllable
ten times. 'Then each echo took seveu-
tenths of n second, and the distance,
found in the same way ns before, Is
about 394 feet.—Exchange.
WATCHING THE BUILDERS.
Fire Insurance Folks Keep au Eye
on (bostructlon Methods.
A builder speaking of the watchful-
ness of tire insurance companies In
New fork city In the erection of build-
ings in that city says:
"Insurance companies in placing poli-
cies upon so called Ilreprouf buildings
do not 'wield the word of the builders
and contractors, nor rest couteut with
the evidence sut,wiltcd by the city
building depart:t wat. 'Their own ex-
perts make an examination. Such au
examinatlou Is oracle not at the behest
of politicians or In the interest of a
group of mens, but by technical experts
whose reports must he exact, detailed
and exhaustive In the interests of
shrewd business men. The lusurance
underwriters have the it own corps of
expert engineers and fireproof agents
ip the field all of the time. When n
large building Is in course of con-
struction in New York these experts of
the underwriters watch every stage of
the development. They have no power
to stop work ou the building as city
building Inspectors have when the
building laws are not complied with,
but they possess another sort of check
which Is fully as effectual. The build-
ers, contractors or owners, or all three,
are notified that further insurance poll -
cies will not be made on the building
until certain remedies are made."—

Earrings.
Earrings have always beeu among
the most favorite oruaments of nearly
all the nations of the world, certainly
with those which are called civilized.
Indeed among the Persians, Babyloni-
ans and Carthaginians they were worn
by men as well as women. They were
always worn by Greek women from
Hera in the "Iliad" down to the Venus
de Medici, whose ears were pierced for
the reception of earrings. Pliny +Ills
us that there was no part of dress upon
which greater expense was lavished
A8'titong the Romans. Many Egyptian
earrings of very beautiful design have
been preserved, and these antique de-
signs have been imitated in modern
times.

HASTINGS, MINN.. SATURDAY. APRIL 28, 1906.
A HANDY LIFE RAFT.
Novel Combination of Deck Chair
and Life P •
Iu the picture herewith shown Is il-
lustrated a novel chair adapted for use
on pleasure boats and pas.tenger steam-
, ers. The chair Is of the ordinary fold-
' lug camp chair t3'pe, consisting of two
parts hinged together and on which the
I seat Is supporttel. The back of the
chair is hollow, forming a receptacle
for n life preserver of the common cork
type. The receptacle is closed by a lid,
which provides n water tight covering.
Recent disasters have proved that
cork life preservers must not be expos-
ed to the weather or they will soon rot
tttrt,rtc
ut tow

and lose their e®ciency; also, that they
must not be packed away ou the ceil-
ings or other remote parts of the boat
where they are difficult of access. Both
of these conditions are met in the pres-
ent Invention, for the life preservers
are kept perfectly dry in the recep-
tacles and yet are ready for instant use
In case of emergency.'
But the chair offers still another ad-
vantage—namely, that whether the life
preserver be removed or not the chair
caudae used as a lite raft, so that the
shipwrecked passenger need not worry
about the proper adjustment of the life
preserver, but may cling to his chair
for support. The chair Is made in ac-
cordance with the Culled States steam-
boat Inspection laws regarding life
rafts of this type, so that a steamer
provided with these chairs would not
have to be equipped with the usual
bulky life rafts now required. Thus
every chair will be a life raft and every
life raft could be used as a chair in-
stead of uselessly occupying valuable
storage space.
TESTING BIG CHAINS.
Tremendou■ Strength of Cables Vied
on Ocean Liner•.
The firm of Brown, Lennox & Co. of
Pontypridd, south Wales, recently man-
ufactured the largest cable ever made
for ships' use, says the London Mail.
The iron is three and one-fourth Inches
in diameter at the smallest part of the
link, each link measures about twenty-
two and one-fourth ruches lu length
and weighs, with the crucible cast steel
stud, about 160 pounds. The chain is
Intended for the quadruple screw tur-
bine driven express steamer which le
being built for the Cunard Steamship
company.
Recently the last named company
gave notice that It required three
links to be tested to destruction, and
three links were cut off the cable as
made and sent by passenger train to
Lloyd's proving house at Netherton,
Staffordshire, the testing machine there
being one of the most powerful In the
country and licensed by the board of
trade to test chains and anchors of
the largest sizes. The sample was first
tested to the admiralty proof strain of
189.8 tons, at which strain each link
elongated not quite a quarter of an
Inch. The statutory breaking strain
of 265.7 tons was next applied, and the
links were further elongated about
three-quarters of au inch. After this
an attempt was made to test the sam-
ple "to destruction," but the full pow-
er of the testing machine at 350 tons
failed to accomplish this result; Indeed,
It is understood the actual tension ap-
plied was over 870 tons. On a careful
examination no sign of fracture or
defect of any kind could be found.
The strain applied was about 90 per
cent above the admiralty proof strain.
The Acetylene Blowpipe.
Recent experience with the acetylene
blowpipe In England has approved it
as a valuable Invention. It produces a
temperature exceeding 7,000 degrees.
The temperature producible by the
oxyhydrogen blowpipe, 3,600 degrees to
4,500 degrees, is limited by the dis-
sociation temperature of steam, where-
as with acetflene the limit is that of
the dissociation temperature of carbon
monoxide, which 1s much higher. The
acetylene, In a dissolved state, is used
In conjunction with oxygen. It splits
up Into Its constituents, hydrogen and
Carbon, at the base of the flame, and
the carbon only takes part in the burn -
Ing. The hydrogen remains free and
forms a protection to the small cone
at the nozzle, where the carbon Is burn -
Ing and which Is the point of maximum
temperature.

DESTRUCTION OF POMPEII.
Burled So Deep T1tat It Was Los
For Sixteen Centuries.
When one bears of a burled city it 1
very difficult to realize what It cat
look like—still more so to realize how a
city can be buried so deep as to be tit
terly lost and the place of it know 1
DO more for sixteen centuries. Tet
this is what happened to Pompeii and
Herculaneum, Stablate and Retina and
thirteen other cities of the plain on
the ninth day before the calends of
September, 111 the first year of the
reign of the Emperor Titus. 'Thus it
was when Pompeii was burled. When
next the sun shone Into her streets
George III. was king of England. Six-
teen years before the burial of the
city an earthquake had done so much
mischief that the rule was not yet
Quite restored, but Mount Vesuvius
had been quiet ever since. The 24th
of August was a terribly hot day.
Most of the people were in the am-
phitheater at 0 wild beast fight when
they saw a strauge cloud rise from
Vesuvius. it seemed like a pine tree.
The trunk rose up high tato the heav-
ens and then spread out lu branches—
some white, some dull and spotted—
Until, slowly u0801110g themselves
from the parent trunk, they began to
darken the sky. Pliny the elder, over
at ?absentia', was re :lug 10 his study
when his sister came In to tell him of
this strauge cloud. Ile ordered a light
galley to be gut ready, and as he was
coming out with his tablets in his
hand ready to note down all he saw
the mariners belougiag 1, the gaIIeys
at Retina came up to Implore of hint
to go to their help.
By the time Pliny gut there with his
galleys the ashes were falling thicker
every instant. 'Lieu came broken and
blackened- stones and pumice. Vast
fragments were rolllug down the
mountaln, and the sea had suddenly
retreated. The pilot was for putting
back, but the undaunted old philoso-
pher admiral would not go back. "For-
tune," he said, "favors the brave." Ev-
erybody knows eotnetlting about the
rent and how the peer old gentleman,
being weakly and asthmatic, was suf-
focated by a sudden untburst of flames
and sulphur fumes. In that awful
darkness, when the sudden rush 6f
flames was the only light which pierc-
ed the dense smoke, the fields were full
of terrified people Casing they knew
not whither. It is true that the de-
struction was not lnstttutaueous, and
a great number of the inhnbltauts sav-
ed their lives, and even took away a
good deal of their treasure, but It is es-
timated that at least 200,000 persons
were entombed in Pompeii, Hercula-
neum and the other cities of the plain.

Do You Get Up Early!
It is not healthy in any country, at

old are better rested by lying late,
even if not asleep, while the young re-
quire all the sleep they can get. In all
latitudes, in warm weather, the morn-
ing air, although feeling cool and
fresh, is laden with the pestiferous
miasma. In winter the atmosphere be-
fore breakfast 1s so cold and chilly
and searching that it fairly shrivels up
MD and beast, chilling to the very

Said the valet:
His breeches were alwaye of white

his chamber it often happened that
they were all spotted with ink, thanks
to his habit of wiping his pen on them
and shaking ink all around him by
striking his pen against the table. How-
ever, as he dressed in the morning for
the whole day, he did not change his
toilet on that account, but remained in
this state until night. The whole inside
of his boots was lined with white fus-
tian. Whenever one of his legs Itched,
he rubbed it with the heel of the boot
or shoe with which the other leg was
shod, thus heightening the effect of the
spilled ink.

THE SCILLY ISLANDS,

The climate of the Scilly islands Is
the most equable in Great Britain. It
ranges on nn average from 40 degrees
to GO degrees. On the coldest day' it is
warm and on the hottest it is cool.
There are only three seasons in Scilly
of four months each—spring, summer
and autumn. When the autumn ends
Bering commences. There Is no great
height In the islands. The highest land
in Bryher is only 138 feet above sea
level, although the telegraph tower
built on St. Mary's reaches a height of
158 feet, but the rock scenery of the en-
tire group of these islands is remark-
able. There are rocks fantastic, jagged,

HAIR AND COLOR.
Red Is Much Nearer Allied to Black
Than to Blond.
The color of the hair, says the Grand
Magazine, is usually transmitted front
parents to child. This Is especially true
when both parents have the same cone
plexion. Instances, however, are not
aucommon where children have hair
black as ebony, while the hair of both
parents is a burning red. Instead of
disproving the theory that a child takes
after its parents, so far as the color of
the hair is concerned, this fact, It has
now been ascertained, is all in favor of
the doctrine. Iced hair, In fact, is by
Its structure and composition much
nearer to black hair than to blond.
Very often if the hair of a very dark
complexioned person be examined at-
tentively a few quite red hairs will be
detected iu the mass. On the other
band, it would be time wasted to seek
for Meek hairs in the locks of a fair
person. Similarly it is not infrequent
to notice children whose hair, red at
birth, becomes as they grow older quite
dark. When, too, after some serious
Illness, the production of the coloring
pigment of the hair falls off, black hair
becomes not blond, but red. Fair hair,
which to a casual eye appears to have
much more affinity to red hair than to
black, Is, on the contrary, quite dis-
tinct.
'4'alued Religious Relics.
The collection of religious relics to
be seen in the church of the Corsican
village of Sisco is undoubtedly unique.
The inhabitants of this pretty little
place are exceedingly devout and very
simple, which probably accounts for
the possession of such a remarkable
collection. A writer In L'Independence
Beige gives the following list of the
principal items: The horn used by Mo-
ses to call together the children of Is-
rael while in the desert, a tuft of that
red hair which was the pride of Esau
and the despair of Jacob, a piece of
the nail of the little toe of the lett foot
—the statement is very precise—of
Enoch, the patriarch; the bib worn by
the infant Jesus, the curb and crupper
of the ass that took the holy family in-
to Egypt and several relics of various
saints.
Two Laymen Rase Been Popes.
The canon law does not prescribe
that the pope must be a cardinal or
even a cleric. Nevertheless since the
election of Urban VI. in 1878 the suc-
cessful candidates have belonged to
the members of the sacred college, al-
though as late as 1758 a noncardinal
was voted for several times. At least
two laymen—John RIR. (1024) and Ad-
rian V. (1276)—have occupied the papal
throne, and there is today nothing to
prevent laymen from being created
cardinals, although they are not enti-
tled to vote in theconclave unless they
can produce a special permit from the
late pope.
Beet and Brawn.
It is said of Kean, the actor, that he
ate mutton before playing the part of
lover, beef before playing that of mur-
derer and pork before assuming the
character of a tyrant. That may be
merely a story or a fact, but it is a
well known truth that beef will enable
more exhausting muscular work to be
done than will mutton, so there may be
something in the "roast beef of old
England. In the eighteenth century
thla was one of the English "gods."

INDIAN ARROWS.
Why There Are Always Three
Grooves Cut on the Shaft.
In making the Indian arrow three
small undulating grooves are cut on the
shaft, running down to the head from
the lower end of the feathers. This has
attracted the attention of some of the
ethnologists, who gave the matter con-
siderable study and wisely concluded
that the little lines were made for the
blood to run through or that they rep-
resented lightning. An old Omaha who
bad the reputation of being very skill •
-
ful In cutting the grooves in arrow
shafts was called by the chief to 410
that work for hits on some arrows he
was making. The chief himself was a
tine arrow maker, but he 'recognized
the skill of the old man in this particu-
lar line. While the work was In Iftog-
ress the chief's son, who had reached
the inquisitive age and Was looking on
with wide eyed interest, suddenly ask-
ed, "Venerable man, why are you mak-
ing those crooked lines?" The chief
gave a hearty laugh and said, "Father,
tell him, for he will be making arrows
himself someday, and he should know."
"Every sapling," answered the old man,
"out of which the arrow is made has
soma defect, however faultless it may
apeeor to be. The good arrow maker
takes a great deal of pains to smooth
out and straighten the hnperfections by
oiling 811,1 heating, but the wool in

SOURCE OF THE MISSOURI.
Sit itiaers Joined Together Form its
Actual Head.
The actual head of the 'Missouri river
or what should be known as such had
it been intcllig,'ntly'tanner is Ile Lacy's
or Shoshone lake, in the National park.
,This lake, a considerable body of wa-
ter, Is the sour0 of the Madison river
and forms with the river the drainage
outlet for most of the water of that
portion of the *National park. The Gal-
latin, or left source of the 'Missouri, Is
formed by two streams, the East and
Nest Galletin, which unite about a
Mile above Its junction with the Mis-
80111-1. The Madison and Gallatin aro
both somewhat smaller than tate Jeffer-
son.
Ited Lewis and Clark ascended the
Madison Instead of the Jefferson, which,
becoming the larger stream, they natu-
rally mistook for the continuation of
the Missouri, they would have discov-
ered the famous geysers in Firebole ba-
sin, Shoshone lake and all the country
which is now incorporated within the
limits of .the National park. The Big
Hole and the Beaverhead rivers flow
Into the Jefferson at Twin Bridges, a
few miles from the confluence of the
Jefferson with the Missouri, so that In
reality there are six considerable civ
ers, all joining one another within a ra-
dius of a few miles, which unite to
form the longest river in the world,
measured from the gulf to the Rocky
mountains.
Sneezing.
Sneezing itself is a reflex nervous ac-
tion and is brought about by mechani-
cal irritation to the ends of the nerve
fibers which occur in the tissue of the
nose. When this irritation occurs,
whether it be due to a foreign body or
chango of temperature affecting the
tissue of the nose, a nerve impulse is
transmitted to the brain, and certain
nerve centers in the medulla oblongata
are affected. This results in certain
Impulses being transmitted along the
nerves to the muscles controlling respi-
ration. By this means the egress of air
during expiration is delayed, and the
various exits are closed. When the
pressure, however, reaches a limit the
exits are forced open, "a powerful blast
of air is expelled, and the patient
sneezes,"
An Aggravated Case.
Lord Justice Clerk Eskgrove,in sen-
tencing certain housebreakers, began
by explaining the various crimes of
which they had been convicted—as-
sault, robbery and hamesucken, of
which last he gave them the etymology.
He then reminded them that they bad
attacked the house and robbed it, and
so worked gradually up to the climax,
"All this you did, and, God preserve
us, joost when they were settln' down
to their dinnerl"--Law Notes.
"The highways of literature are
spread over," says Holmes, "with the
shells of dead novels, each of which has
been swallowed at a mouthful by the
public and Is done with."
Randolph Items. Funeral Follies, it.
Mr. Driscoll went up to St. Paul In regard to the funeral service in
Sunday. the church it should be as follows:
Fred Koch went to Mankato Mon- It should begin at the entrance of the
church yard, and end at the grave.
The service is conducted by the
minister, preceding the casket—from
the church yard, pronouncing the
usual sentences. In going up the
aisle of the church the undertaker
should not precede the casket because
in doing so he places himself on the
plane of the officiating priest. Neither
should he follow the casket, because
by doing that he places himself with
the family as one of those bereaved.
The stools should have been put in
place for the reception of the casket,
and, while in the church, the casket
should be entrusted to the pall bear-
ers, for they and the minister are
nearer to the family than the
undertaker.
Iu some churches, though not the
Episcopal Church, I have known the
custom of placing the casket on the
chancel floor. That is a mistake for
the following reason: The chancel is
intended for the occupancy of the
priest or minister only, and for the
male members of the choir, and when
a body is.placed on the chancel floor
it occupies the place of the priest,
which the same person would not pre.
sume to have done while alive. Such
a position, instead of indicating the
spirit of humility, which death should
cause the dying to feel, would
seem to indicate usurpation of the
priesthood.
Another mistake that is sometimes
made is to place the casket cross-
wise to the congregation anti to the
altar. This is a mistake, because
this is the position only for the priest.
He being the mediator between
God and the people, stands with one
side to the people and the other to
the altar., That is his position
when chanting or reading the psalms
and when he kneels to lead the
prayers. The dead, who would not
dare to assume the position Of the
priest while alive, should not be
forced to (10 so against their wills
when they are dead.
If the living laymen occupy the
floor of the nave, the lowest po-
sition in the church, while alive, why
should they he elevated to the
height and position Of the priest when
:lead?
The cross position is not proper
for another reason. The eongre-
gntiou fnec the altar, as though look-
ing toward the only source of hope.
The altar represents the only source
of hope for the living and while living,
why should the altar appear to cease
to be the source of hope anti happi-
ness to the dead and in the hour of
death? The church's theory has been
that death makes lowly, humble, that
it does not elevate the dear[ above the
living, and certainly not to the
sacred office of the priesthood.
It is the custom of the church to
be considerate enough of the dead to
place the body in the position
of the humble anti in the attitude of
prayer and hope. Hence my rule to
place the casket on the floor of the
main body of the church and facing
the altar is based upon the church's
teaching, as well as upon common
sense. This rule must be observed
at all times. J. W. BARKER,
Rector of St. Luke's Church.

The County Seat Question.
To the Editor of The Gazette:
I beg your pardon for sending you
a second letter on the county seat
question. I do not write because I
have anything new to say, or because
I think I can say it as well as some
others, but living in a part of the
county that is as much interested in
moving the county seat to Farming-
ton as any, it may be of some interest
to let it be known that not quite all
are of the same opinion.
Although Farmington has three
thousand signers to her petition, I
yet expect the vote to go strongly
against her.
Some signed it just to let the
thing come to a vote. Some I feel
quite sure do not think it will pay
for the cost.
From the little I have had to do
with county business I have not
found going to Hastings a very great
hardship.
I do not undertake to make any
estimate of the cost of moviug the
couuty scat. Such things usually
cost very much more than we expect.
I am very sure Farmington can't
find men of weans that will bind
, themselves to pay all it will cost,
over $200,000. It is easy for some
to talk and argue and tell what they
know. It is another thing to show
their ••faith by their works."
Farmington has one good reason
for the change, "she wants it." I
have two against it, I aw afraid of the
cost, I think it won't pay. The other
is it is usually best to let well
enough alone. Our county business
is done well and cheaply.
Trying to prejudice the western
part of the county against Hastings
by telling that she is selfish and
mean and underhanded is neither
honorable or honest. The character
of the two places average very much
alike.
Throwing mud used to be prac-
ticed by the politicians in cases of
emergency to take the place of argu-
ments. It was never considered
gentlemanly, G. B. MALLERT.

FRANKING.
The Way the Privilege Has Been
Abused In England.
American legislators are not the only
ones who abuse their franking privi-
leges. Recent history In England bas
caused the London Chronicle to say:
"Franking had Its birth, honestly
enough, in 1660, in the desire to relieve
members of parliament of the expense
incurred in the discharge of their na-
Uonal duties, but the practice rapidly
widened until it became possible for
members to transmit their household
goods at the public charge, as the fol-
lowing extract from Old postoffice rec-
ords testifies: 'Fifteen couple of hounds
going to the king of Romans with a
free pass, two maidservants going as
laundresses to my Lord Ambassador
Methuen, Dr, Crichton, carrying with
him a cow and divers necessaries;
three sults of clothes for some noble-
man's lady at the court of Portugal.
two bales of stockings for the use of
the ambassador to the crown of Portu-
gal, a deal case with four fitohee of
bacon for Mr. Pennington of Rotter-
dam:
"This form of abuse died when the
poetoffice stable underwent a purifica-
tion, but It speedily gave place to an-
other variety. Members signed packets
of letters wholesale, gave them away
to their friends and sometimes paid
their servants' wages in franked en-
velopes. In fact, they became a valua-
ble form of currency, subject to the art
of the forger, who did a roaring trade.
In 1715 £21,000 worth of free corre-
spondence passed through the postof-
8ce.
"Fifty years later the nation was
staggered to discover that the amount
had increased to £170,000, and strin-
gent laws were passed to mitigate the
immoral tendencies of the houses of
parliament. But all was 1n vain until
Sir Rowland Hill managed in 1839 to
abrogate the privileges altogether."

Is Your Bathroom Modern ?
If it is not, don't you think it is worth your while to examine
into conditions, and remodel or rebuild it if necessary ?
You cannot have too many safeguards for the health of your-

plumbing is as dangerous to the health as good or modern plumbing
is beneficial. Better by far to pay out money for good plumbing
than for doctor bills resulting from defective sanitary equipment.

By LOUISE GLOSTER
Copyright, 1P06, by Homer Sprague
Pellham nervously paced the plat-
form. In twenty minutes the trait(
would come and take him away from
Rotan and his brief dream of paradise.
It would take hint back to town, and
he would toy to forget that he had ever
been engaged to Alice Carver.
It was funny, he thought, that they
never should have had disputes until
they had become engaged, but since
Christmas eve, when he had slipped the
ring upon h.r huger and had assured
her that it bound her to him for life,
there had been nothing but misunder-
standings. culminating in the dispute
of last night, when she had given back
the ring and had left him with head
erect—to break down when she reach-
ed her own room.
The Carver house party had lasted
well into the new year, and there
were still half a dozen guests at the
big house. Ile wondered bitterly if Al-
ice would be engaged to Jordan before
the party broke up. Jordan had kissed
her under the mistletoe Christmas eve,
and Jnrdau had been the bone of con-
tention ever since. Ile was so occupied
over Jordan's shortcomings that he
never noticed Fay Gresstt's approach
until she tappeed him lightly upon the
arm.
"I'm in the most awful fix," she
laughed. "I came 10 the station and
never realized that I was a pauper.
Can you let me have $20? There is no
time to send back to Carver castle."
Pellham performed a lightning calcu-
lation. Ills ticket had cost him $8.40.
That from $20 left $11.60. It would
never del to confess that be did not
have it. I'ay would gloat over the fact
that she had caught Bob Pentium pen-
niless. He raised his hat.
"Certainly." be saki. "Walt here and
I will purchase your ticket and look
after your trunk."
He stepped Into the waiting room
and stayed there long enough to pur-
1IE CRIED "COME IN !" AND CONFRONTED
FRANK JORDAN.
chase a ticket. He remembered it had
taken him about three minutes, and at
the end of a similar period he stepped
on the platform again with the paste-
board and change in his hand, as If he
had just come from the window.
"It will be real nice to have your
company to town," she said. Bob col-
ored.
"I've changed my mind," he explain-
ed. "I'm not going to town this morn -
Ing. May wait until the last train."
"I will have father send a check to
yoyr club," she smiled as the train
cane in and he saw her settled In the
chair car. "I suppose I shall see you
at Collins' Monday?"
"Surely," he smiled as he raised his
hat and made for the platform, but as
the train grew smaller In the distance
be became Less confident. It was Sat-
urday afternoon, He could not wire to
bis office fur money. They closed at
noon, and It was 11 now. He might
try the boys, but most of them went
out of town over Sunday. In any
event, he should hate to explain that
be had left the Carvers In such a burry
that he had nut even had time to send
for funds. He made his way to the lit-
tle hotel, where the landlord's curious
glances made him realize that the
transfer to the hotel would excite cu-
riosity.
He began to feel that he had acted
very foolishly. If he bad confessed to
Fay that he only had $10—that would
have taken her to town—or told her to
send up to Carver's and have taken the
next train! Now it looked as If he
should have to stay in the town over
Sunday.
The landlord could not cash him a
check, so he took a room and made his
way to it. After the comfort of Carver
castle the dingy room, with its sheet
iron stove and florid wall paper, seem-
ed intolerable, but It was better than
wandering around town and perhaps
running into Frank Jordan.
Somehow, as the afternoon passed,
Jordan appeared less formidable than
he had, and Pellham began to feel un-
comfortably like a fool. It had been
such a trifle to quarrel over. He had
found them in the music room and Jor-
dan had been disentangling a strand
of Alice's hair from his coat button.
He had refused to believe her prompt
explanation that in turning the music
he had caught her hair. He had as-
sumed a flirtation, and his cutting re-
marks had ended in the return of his
ring and misery for them both. In bis
hot anger he had not liked to ask his
host to cash a check and had gone
away without a thought of emergen-
cies.
There is no time to consider the com-
monplace things of life when one has
just lost the girl he loves, and all wou1C1
nave 'been well enough bad he n
feared Fay Greasit's ridicule.
He made a pretense of reading
book he found In his hand bag, but h
could not interest himself In the sto
and long before the dusk began to dosin be was thoroughly miserable.
He welcomed a knock at the door. I
could only be the porter with coal o
the chambermaid with towels, bu
somehow he felt as if he had bee
stranded on a desert island, and h
welcomed the advent of any one. H
sprang to his feet as he cried "Corn
in!" and confronted Frauk Jordan.
"You will pardou my breaking In up
on your solitude," began Jordan, "bu
'.Mss Carver sent me or you."
"How did you know I was here?" h
demanded suspiciously.
"Miss Gressit sent a telegram warn
Ing us that you were still In town and
asking us to look you up."
"Have you the telegram?" asked Bob.
Jordan shook his head.
"Miss Carver bas that She just asked
me to look you up. I say, old chap, I
feel awfully cut up over last night.
There really was nothing to it Of
course I know bow you feel. When a
fellow is first engaged be is jealous of
the rest of mankind. Good Lord, when
I was first engaged to Fay I used to be
jealous even of her riding master."
"You engaged to Fay Gressit?" shout-
ed Bob. "I thought you were—well, In-
terested In Alice."
"Sure I'm Interested," agreed Jordan.
She's been a sort of fairy godmother
to Fay and me. You know, Mrs. Gres -
sit does not approve of me; thinks I'm
not a good match for Fay, and If it
weren't for Alice I don't know what
we would have done."
"I suppose everybody is laughing at
my staying behind," said Petition'weakly.
"Don't know anything about It," de-
clared Jordan, "I can let you have
what you need and you can go right on
to town or you can come back with me
and simply explain that you changed
your mind. It I were you I'd go back.
(Alice says you have a ring that belongs
to her,"
"I'11 go," said Bob. "Help Inc get
these things together."
Some hours later Bob and Alice sat
in the music room while Jordan was
doing his best to hold the rest of the
crowd in the library with parlor magic.
'I'm awfully glad you came back,"
whispered Alice as she slipped her hand
—the one with the ring on It—Into his.
"I think Fay is the smartest girl I
know."
"But what made her think 1 was go-
ing to stay over?" he asked. "I told her
I was going down ou the next train."
"She saw you buy your ticket and
that there was only the one bill in your
purse. She knew that if you stayed
over there would be a chance for an
explanation, so she borrowed every
cent you had and telegraphed us front
the next stop just what she had done."'
"I think," said Pellham slowly, "that
I owe Fay a great deal more than she
owes me."
"I should hope," said Alice, "that you
value me at more than $20."
"Dear," he whispered, "you are with-
out price."
"Without money and without price,"
she quoted. "You without the money
and I without the price."

Foreign Bodies In the Flesh,
It Is not an uncommon thing for peo-
ple to carry ueedles, pins, bullets and
bits of steel around with them for half
a lifetime, but no one can be found
who would be willing voluntarily to
undertake such a burden. And yet
there are instances where articles
which might seem to be of a most dan-
gerous character have been carried in
the body for years. A man, in repair-
ing a building, fell through a window,
breaking the glass and severely cutting
one of his arms. The wound was care-
fully and antiseptically dressed, and
the man went about his business.
Three years later he called upon the
doctor who had attended him and com-
plained of a boil on his wrist. The
physician casually mentioned the in-
jury witch he had sustained and asked
him if he suffered any inconvenience
from it. He answered, "No, not much,"
but said that at times there was a pe-
culiar sensation between the elbow
and shoulder. Upon examination the
doctor found a long splinter of glass
just ready to prick through the skin at
a point several inches above the place
where It had originally entered. The
glass was drawn out, the wound prop-
erly dressed, and the man recovered,
thereafter being entirely free from the
annoying sharp pains to which he had
for years been subject.
Well Balanced Cats.
"Did you know that 1f you cut a cat's
tail off she can't catch mice any
more?" asked a young woman of an-
other.
"I don't see why," replied the other,
and, further, I can't imagine what
occasion you have had for cutting off
cats' tails to see."
"I haven't cut off any cats' tails, but
an accident deprived our cat of its
caudal appendage. The feline became
as helpless as a ship without a rudder.
When it tried to spring upon an ob-
ject It would alight far to one side.
The look of pained surprise on the
cat's features was pathetic. Afte
awhile it learned to jump straight
again, but It was a long and painful
experience for the po.tr cat The bal-
ance of power and the power to bal-
ance seem to lie in the tall of the cat."
—Kansas City Times.
Really a Haman Being.
The story is told in China that years
ago a missionary made his appearauce
upon a platform there and that the na-
tive orator who introduced him closed
with these words: "When I have finish-
ed a gentleman from the west is going
to address you. He is not a foreign
demon. His appearance and his cloth-
ing may seem strange to you, but look
carefully at him. He has two arms and
two legs, two ears and two eyes, a
nose (though a long one!) and a mouth;
and I assure you his teeth are made of
bone, just like yours. He Is really a
human being, and I hope you will re-
gard him as such."
LIGHTS SEA'S DEPTHS,
Submarine Work Revolutionized by
n Diving Lntnz,
Submarine operations have been rev-
olutionized by a submarine electric
light invented by Francis G. Ball of
Yale university. Owing chiefly to the
fact that comparatively few persons
have ever ventured to don diving ar-
mor and descend below the surface au
air of mystery has come to enshroud
the /work of a submarine diver. In the
shadow o? a ship's bull or obstruction
or at depths of fifty feet and over there
exists an Impenetrable gloom even
with fairly clear water, while in the
usual harbor the sun's rays never reach
more than a few feet below the sur-
face. The new light has changed all
this. The yachtsman In search of rec-
reation or the professional diver way
now go down to the bottom and ex-
plore or work In per"leet ease, for the
rays from this lamp Tight up a space
the size of a large room as bright as
day.
The lamp consists of a water tight
metallic case lnclosing a mechanism
and regulator so tbat when submerged
it will give forth from the glass cham-
ber at Its lower end a most brilliant,
clear light, better than the best aver-
age street are lamp. Its operatlou Is
simple, and there is no intricate mech-
anism requiring the careful handling
of an expert mechanic or electrician.
It is so constructed as to withstand
the hardest usage. When In use the
diver may carry the hoop about by
means of the circular guard handle, set
It down or suspend it In a convenient
manner directly by the cable, no ropes
being required. Its weight under wa-
ter Is only a few pounds, just enough
to keep it In position In a current or
tideway.
The submarine cable conducting the
current to the lamp leads to the sur-
face, and thence to a combined junc-
tion and switch plate controlled by the
diver's attendant. From this "plate"
connection is wade to a neighboring
electric circuit, storage battery or
small generator outfit supplying the
electric power.

FOOD IN CONSUMPTION,
Theory That Malnutrition Predls-
pueee to the Dlsenae.
Nitrogen starvation in the tubercu-
lous Is naturally suggested by the fact
that such great improvement results
from forced feeding with nitrogen. It
is known that tuberculosis Is specially
prevalent among the underfed of the
slums and that it 1i quick and fatal
among the lower races which are most-
ly rice fed and star'e'd for nitrogen.
It is not a disease of the well fed, and.
though alcohol is regarded as the chief
cause of the susceptibility to the ht-
fection. It must be remembered that
eavy drinkers are very likely to tteg-
ect their nitrogen nutrition- They may
ven be fat, yet in a condltiou of seri-
us malnutrition, like our fat sugar
ed babies raised ou condensed Wilk
r the dreadful baby foods so highly
barged with sugar.
Stiller recognizes u condition of con-
enital atonia as the basis for the hab-
tus phthisicus—au asthenia clue to
aulty material of the tissue cells—but
It is safe to look for the ultimate cause
In early malnutrition, perhaps prenatal.
To be sure, there is a slight reaction
against too great a forcing of nitrogen
foods in incipient tuberculosis, but it
is yet true that quite large amounts
are still considered necessary In this
stage.—American Medicine.

Strength of Iron and Steel.
In the course of a paper presented to
the American Institute of Mining En-
gineers on car axles by Dr. C. B. Dud-
ley the statemept is made that iron and
steel do not behave alike when sub-
jected to bending stresses. A well
made iron car axle the metal of which
will show in tensile strength from 48,-
000 to 52,000 pounds per square inch
will stand successfully the same fiber
stress as steel of 80,000 to 85,000
pounds tensile strength.

any of those holidays," she Bald frank-

count a holiday Is when Ezra and Jim
and Bob and Llpblet go off up to the
wood lot with t elr dinner and I know
they won't be back till night.

Ortgl. or the Baying About Setting
the River on Fire.
Sometimes when a person wants to
make an unpleasant remark in u pleas-
ant sort of way about a dull boy he
will say, 'That boy will never set the
river on fire," Now, that is all very
true, for even the smartest man in the
world could never set a stream of wa-
ter on fire, and so perhaps many of
yon who have heard this expression
have wondered what is meant by set-
ting the river on fire.
In England many, many years ago,
before the millers had machinery for
Uig flour, each family was obliged
to sift its own flour, For doing this
It was necessary to use a sieve, called
a temse, which was so Axed that it
could be turned round and rouud In
the top of a barrel. If It was turned
too fast the friction would sometimes
cause It to catch fire, and as It was
only the smart, hardworking boys who
could make it go so fast the people
got into the way of pointing out a lazy
boy by saying that he would never net
the temse on fire. After awhile these
sieves went out of use, but as there
were still plenty of stupid !toys In the
world people kept on saying that they
would never set the tome on bre.
Now, the name of the river Thames
le pronounced exactly like the word
temse, and so atter many rears those
Persons wlto bad never seen or beard
of 'the old fashioned sieve thought that
"betting the tentso on Ore" meant net-
ting the river Thames on Eire, This
expression became very popular and
traveled far and wide until the people
living near other streams did not see
why It was any harder for a slothful
boy to set the Thames on Are than any
other river, and so the name of the
river was dropped, and everybody after
that simply said "the river," moaning
the river of his particular city or town,
and that Is bow it is that people today
talk of setting the river on Eire,

♦ Mining C'nmp Melodrama With an
Unexpected Climax,
Joseph Jefferson used to say that his
career came very near being nipped in
the bud In a small western town, He
at that time was a member of a small
pioneer company which progressed . by
means of three "bull teams" from one
mining camp to another. They were
always heartily received by the min-
ers and cowboys, who readily paid the
$5 in gold required to trillions their
performance. Mr. Jefferson was tho
traditional melodramatic villein and in
the third act was supposed to kidnap
"the child." The supposed mother,
hearing Its cries, rushes upon the scene
just as he Is about to escape and tines
a fruitless shot from a revolver.
Upon this particular oeeasiott all had
gone well until this scene Wal reaehed,
and too audience, many of whom had
never before seen any kind of theatric-
al performance, sat as if spellbound.
At the crack of the mother's revolver,
however, the spell was rudely broken,
"By heaven, she missed him!" a red
skirted miner In the front mew shout-
ed, drawing his own six shooter and
leaping to his feet. "Round to the
back door and head him off 'tore he
can git n boss, boys!" he yelled, and,
following him, half the midteneo stam-
peded for the exit
The excitement was finally allayed
by the "mother" and the villain. ap-
pearing hand In hand before the cur-
tain and the manager's expinntttton of
the situation. When the performance
had been concluded the audience !isbst-
ed on paying another adn13ssien price
and having an immediate rt•petition
from beginning to end.—Success Maga-

Card Marls.
It is conjectured by some writers on
the subject that the marks apop the
cards designating the four kinds In a
pack were originally symbolled and
intended to signify the different class-
es of society. According to this suppo-
sition, the hearts represented the cler-
gy, spades the nobility, some old packs
of cards bearing a sword or lance head
instead of a spade; clubs the serfs and
diamonds the burghers or citizen
classes.

BELLS IN CHURCHES.
FIRST USED BY PAULINUS, BISHOP
OF NOLA, ABOUT 400.
The Early British Chrlatians 1i d
Wooden Rattles to Call the Peo'y1e
Together For Worship _ Bells and
Thunder and Lightning.
Church bells are of ancient origin.
The ancients had bells for both sacred
end profane purposes. Strabo says
khat market time was announced by
their sound and Pliny that the tomb
of an ancient king of Tuscany was
hung round with bells. The hour of
bathing was made known in ancient
Rome by the sound of a bell. The
night watchman carried one, and it
served to call up the servants in great
hooses. Sheep bad them tied about
'their necks to frighten away wolves,'
or, rather, by way of amulet.
Paulinus, bishop of Nola, is general-
ly considered the first person who in-
troduced bells Into ecclesiastical serv-
ice about the year 400. Historians say
that in 610 the bishop of Orleans, being
at Seno, then ins state of siege, fright-
ened away the besieging army by ring-
ing St. Stephen's church bells, which is
a clear proof that they were not at that
time generally known in France. The
first large bells are mentioned by
Bede In the year 680. Before that pe-
riod the early British Christians made
use of wooden rattles to call the con-
gregation of the faithful together.
Hand bells probably first appeared at
religious processions and were after-
ward used by the seculars. The small
bells were not always held in the
hand. They were sometimes suspend-
ed upon a stake and struck with ham-
mers.
The arrival of kings and great per-
sonages was anciently greeted by ring-
ing the church bells. Ingulohus, abbot
of Croyland, who died about 1109,
speaks of them as beteg well known in
his time and says that "the first abbot
of Croyland gave six bells to that mon-
astery—that is to say, two great ones,
which he named Bartholomew and Bel-
adine; two of a medium size, called
Turketullum and Bettrine; two small
ones, denominated Pega and Bega. He
also caused the great bell to be made
called Gudla, which was tuned to the
other bell and produced an admirable
harmony not to be equaled In Eng-
land."
The bells used in the monasteries
were sometimes rung with ropes hav-
ing brass or silver rings at the ends
for the hand. They were anciently
rung by the priests themselves, after-
ward by the servants and sometimes
by those incapable of other duties, as
persons who were blind.
The doctrine of the Church of Rome
'concerning bells is that they have mer-
it and pray God for the living and the
dead; second, that they produce devo-
tion in the hearts of the faithful. The
dislike of evil spirits to bells is well
expressed by Wynken de Worde in the
"Golden Legend." The passing bell was
anciently rung for two good purposes,
one to bespeak the prayers of all good
Christian people for a soul just depart-
ing and the other to drive away the
evil spirits who stood at the foot of the
bed or about the house. Such was the
general opinion respecting the efficacy
:of bells before the reformation, but
'since that period "It has been the usual

ed and so, even in their absence, be
once, at least, moved to lift up their
hearts to him who made them. Bells
at one time were thought an effectual
charm against lightning. The frequent
firing of abbey churches by lightning
confuted the proud motto commonly
written on their bells in the steeples,
.wherein each entitled Itself to a six-
fold efficacy—viz:
Men's death I tell by doleful knell;
Lightning and thunder I break asunder;
On Sabbath all to church I call:
The sleepy head I raise from bed;
The winds so fierce I dost disperse;

MICHAEL ANGELO.
The Ramble Start In Lite of the Fa-
mous Master,
Two boys were herding swine In
Italy. They were evidently discussing
some very important subject, for they
were earnest at it. A man approach-
ed, and the boys separated, each for
his own side of the pasture. The man
was angrj and was shaking his hand
at them. The boys said nothing: they
drove their swine in and were quiet as
a mouse about it. The Tuan had said
they should stay out until dark, and
the sun had not even set yet. After
they had driven the swine to their re-
spective places each crept to his room,
took his clothes and tied them in a
bundle. Tills done, they both crept
down and ran to the road which led
to Rome. Oue's name was Peter; the
other M1"hael Angelo. Both were poor
boys. They tramped and tramped, and
the first thiug they did when they
reached home was to go to church.
After they had rested and prayed they
looked for employment. Peter received
employment as the cook's boy In some
cardinal's house, but Michael could
find nothing to do, so he almost de-
spaired.
He went to his friend Peter, who
gave him sowething to eat and at
night secretly let hem into his room In
the attic to sleep. This went on for a
long time, Peter content to let his
friend do this and Michael content
also. Michael when In church had seen
some tine pictures. One which fasci-
nated him was "Christ Ascending to
Heaven." Taking bits of charcoal, he
went to Peter's room and drew pic-
tures on the white walls. One day the
cantina) had occasion to go to the
room. Michael had meanwhile secured
employment in the cardinal's kitchen.
The cardinal, upon seeing all the pic-
tures, was dumfounded with their
accurateness. IIe called Peter and
Michael upstairs and asked who had
drawn them. Michael confessed he
bad, but said he thought be could rub
them out again. Tbe cardinal explain-
ed to him that it was all right so far
as the wall was concerned. IIe took
Michael and sent him to a drawing
master and gave Peter a better posi-
tion. And Michael worked hard at his
drawings, learned diligently and be-
came the renowned Michael Angelo,
one of the greatest painters of his
time.
VEGETABLES AS MEDICINE.
Asparagus stimulates the kidneys.
Water cress is an excellent blood pu-
rifier.
Parsnips possess the same virtues as
sarsaparilla.
Carrots are good for those having a
tendency to gout.
Celery contains sulphur and helps to
ward off rheumatism.
Celery Is a nerve tonic; onions also
are tonic for the nerves.
'Tomatoes arc good for a torpid liver,
but should be avoided by gouty people.
Beets are fattening and good for peo-
ple who want to put on flesh; so are
potatoes.
Lettuce has a soothing effect on the
nerves and Is excellent for sufferers
from insomnia.
Spinach has great aperient qualities
and is far better than medicine for suf-
ferers from constipation.

Waiting to Be Found,
Lost one evening in a side street off
Charing Cross, a small terrier came
for the next six days at nightfall to the
same spot, waiting to be "found" and
scanning eagerly every passerby. The

Wistful little face and the bright silver
collar she wore quite well, but she was

A Lancashire vicar was asked by the

MAN'S WEAKER HALF.
One side of His Bud Always Strong*'
Than the Other.
The popular belief is that the left
side Is weaker than the right, and, as
in all popular bellefs, there Is much
truth In this. In most cases, says the
Grand Magazine, the right arm Is de-
cidedly stronger than the left, the
bones are larger and the muscles more r
vigorous.
When we come to consider the lower
limbs, however, we find a precisely op- '
posite state of affairs; the left leg is
atrouger than the right lu the great
majority of cases. This want of sym-
metry is noticeable all through the
body. Nine times out of ten we see
better with one eye than with the oth-
er and hear better with the left than
with the right ear, or vice versa.
Not only so, an injury to the body—a
burn or n cut, for Instance—causes
more pain on one side than it would
were it inflicted on the other. Even
diseases attack one side on their first
onset lu preference to the other. Ecze-
ma, varicose veins, sciatica and even
tuberculosis begin invariably to maul -
fest themselves on our weaker side.
A -blistering plaster, too, will provoke
an eruption only If applied to the right
side In certain individuals; In others,
only If applied to the left side.
The simplest way, apparently, of dis-
covering which Is our weaker side is to
observe which side we Ile upon by
preference when In bed, as it is cer-
tain that we will instinctively adopt
the attitude which is most agreeable,
or, rather, which causes the least In-
convenience- In other words, we will
Ile upon the side the muscles of which,
being more vigorous, are less sensible

tum.

monia, it has been noticed, unlike most
diseases, usually attacks at first the

of the body.
A BIRD OF GUIANA.
It Can Speak Every Language That
It Once Rears.
There is a bird of Guiana which de-
serves to be widely known. This is
the "tion -tion" (pronounced tee -yawn
tee-yawh) on account of its cry. This
bird is valued by the natives for its
brilliant plumage, especially the tall
feathers, which they wear In their
headdress and make clothing of, but
the most interesting characteristic of
this strange bird Is its Imitative fac-
ulty.
A naturalist became acquainted with
the bird's powers In a curious man-
ner. He was awakened from bis sleep
one night by hearing cries of distress
In French, Some one was being mur-
dered not far away, ao much was ab-
solutely certain. There were cries for
mercy and help, uttered in excellent
French, shrieks of agony and groans.
Jumping to his feet he awoke his In-
dian guides, saying that they must all
go to the assistance of the victim. At
that moment the voice uttered a shout
of ironical laughter, followed by "tion -
tion," and the guides turned over, with
a grunt of vexation. The learned natu-
raiist had a great deal to learn, they
remarked sarcastically.
Tbe tion -tion is the worst of chatter-
boxes. It can, and does, Imitate every
sound it hears, with the utmost fidelity.
It can speak all languages, giving the
proper accent and Intonation. This is
a strong statement, but It le correct. It
will shout for assistance in the best
English or German, and you will really
believe that some fellow countryman
is in dire distress until the bird inter-
rupts its own pleadings with a derisive
laugh. Then you feel like one who has
been the victim of a Tat of April joke.
If the bird could be caught and so far
domesticated as to be happy in con-
finement the parrot would go out of
fashion as a home pet.
Thumbs and Temper,
"By her thumb ye shall know her" is
a guide to the young man who contem-
plates matrimony and yet is doubtful
how the chains of wedlock will sit on
the girl of his heart- Delightful a com-
panion as she is before marriage, will
she turn out a termagant? Ile can
learn readily, say the modern ages,
and by the folding of her thumbs. He
should take her to church and watch
her closely. When she crosses her
hands piously he should note If she
folds her right thumb over her left, or
vice versa. If the lett goes over the
right she has a dominating mind, and
he will be walking a chalk line when
he's hers. If the right goes over the
left she will be a docile, uncomptafn-

THE SHARK HUNTERS. -
Horrible bat Alleged Painless Way
the Flab Are Killed,
The strictly commercial business of
shark hunting is done in small sloops
whose headquarters are in the more
northerly Norwegian ports. The crews
are for the most part made up of pure
blooded descendants of the vikings,
who are stili to be found in any cum-
ber among the codflshers of Hammer -
fest of Tromso. And a magnificent
race of men they are! Accustomed
from boyhood to a life of hardship,
they have a way of treating Father
Neptune with a slightly contemptuous
toleration, like an old friend, of some-
what uncertain temper, whose rapid
changes from amlling benevolence to
wild, blustering anger are on the whole
rather amusing than otherwise.
They care nothing for danger and
little for suffering—in themselves or in
others. Why, then, should they atop
to think that perhaps a maimed but
still living shark can feel?
The fishing is done oft the coast of
Iceland In about eighty fathoms of wa-
ter. Three or four gallows -like struc-
tures are rigged up around the sides of
the sloop and from each of these hangs
a pulley block, over which rune a
strong rope, and to the end of this the
baited book Is fastened. A plentiful
supply of ground bait is thrown out to
attract the quarry, and such Is the en-
gerness with which the sharks take the
bait that sometimes each one of these
gallows -like fishing rods will have its
fish hooked and fighting for life all at
the same time.
There is no "playing" the fish. It is
not necessary or possible, and the pow-
erful tackle is hardly likely to break,
no matter how fiercely the hooked
shark may struggle. But the shark is
not for his sirs a game flab, and except
when be Is actually being hoisted out
of the water there is no very serious
strait; on the tackle. If he does now
and then get away It is not because he
ever manages to break -the line, but be-
cause
o-cause a lightly fixed hook easily tears
through the soft cartilaginous skeleton
of his head and so sets him free.
As soon as a shark has takeu one of
the baits the hauling tackle attached to
his particular gallows Is manned, and
without any superfluous fuss or cere-
mony he is hauled up to the sloop and
hoisted just clear of the water.
Ho is not brought on board at ail,
but with a few bold slashes his liver Is
cut out as he hangs and is thrown into
a tub to be further dealt with later.
Then his eyes are put out, and be la
cut adrift to go and complete the tardy
process of dying where and how he
pleases.
All this sounds very horrible, but
there is one curious fact which goes
far to make us believe that this death
cannot, after all, be such a cruel one
as at first appears. It is this, the fisher-
men say—that unless they put out the
shark's eyes he will afterward cause
them a lot of trouble by coming and
taking the batt a second time.
It sounds incredible, but the state-
ment is thoroughly well authenticated
by eyewitnesses who have seen a liver -
less shark do just this very thing. Sci-
entists doubtless are right In saying
that the shark (which by anatomical
classification Is one of the lowest of
the fishes) does not Leel pain In the
way more highly organized animals
feel It. We will cling to that belief, for
it is consoling—to us, It not to the
shark, who is thus sacrificed that his
liver may supply us with—what?
It is a secret not to be spoken aloud.
Norway Is one of the great centers of
the cod trade, and from cod is made
cod liver oil, and shark's liver oil tastes

The Nature of an Oath.
Souse years ago a case was 0n trial
before the judge of 'a court in a city
adjoining Boston In which among the
numerous witnesses for the defense
was a decidedly Ignorant appearing
and shiftless looking colored man
named Jones, who was to testify as to
an alibi.
He was finally called, and the usual
oath was about to be administered,
when the attorney for the prosecution
arose and addressed his honor, sug-
gesting that Mr. Jones be interrogated
as to his understanding of the solem-
nity of an oath. The judge therefore
asked the witness it be understood the
nature of an oath, to which be replied,
"Yes sah."
"Well," said his honor, "what is it?"
To which Mr. Jones immediately re-
plied, "When you tell a lie, stick to it."

saw the damage and said, "I am very

A FRIGHTENED ACTRESS.
When *alibraa Ras For Her Lite
From Her Father,
Malibran was an exceptional woman
as well as a great singer, and she had
an interesting and spontaneous tem-
perament. The daughter of Garcia,
she had a harsh and difficult master in
her own father.
When she was sixteen be one day
came to her room and without any
kind of preparation said to her, "You
will make your first appearance with
me on Saturday in 'Otello,' "
It gave her exactly six days for prep-
aration. The child, terrified nearly into
speechlessness, stammered that she
could not possibly do it—what he asked
was impossible. But Garcia could take
no contradiction. All he answered
was: "You'll make your first appear-
ance on Saturday, and be perfect. It
not, in the last scene, wlien I am sup-
posed to plunge my dagger into your
breast, I'll do so in real earuest."
The frightened girl had to make the
best of it. Her success was absolute,
but one iittle piece of realism in her
acting at tho end was a delicious
though entirely unconscious piece of
retaliation upon her father for a rather
brutal method. Her Desdemona had
been exquisite; she bad made her what
she was herself, a child, innocent and
submissive and adoring.
But in the last act, when Othello
strode toward her with uplifted dag-
ger, la Malibran, truly frightened out
of her wits, ran away from him and
made for windows and doors, frantic-
ally trying to escape. When her father
at last caught hold of her, so real bad
the whole thing become that, selzipg
the hand with which be was supposed
to murder her, she bit it till it bled.
Garcia gave a cry of pain, which the
audienee took for a cry of rage, and the
act ended in deafening applause for
father and daughter,

FORCED TO EAT BOOKS.
Human Beluga Who Were Compelled
to Devour Literature,
Among the causes that contribute to
the destruction of books, says an Ital-
ian writer, Americo Scarlatti, there is
one very curious one that may be called
bihitophagla. No reference is intended
to the mice that once destroyed in
England an entire edition of Oastell's
"Lexicon Heptaglotton," but to human
beings wbo have literally devoured
books.
In 1370 Barnabo Visconti compelled
two papal delegates to eat the bull of
excommunication which they had
brought him, together with its silken
cords and leaden seal. As the bull was
written on parchinent, says the Scien-
tific American, not paper, it was all the
more difficult to digest,
A similar anecdote was related by
Oeiricli in his "Dissertatio de Bibito-
thecarum et Librerum Fatia" (1758) of
an Austrian general who had signed a
note for 2,000 florins and when it fell
due compelled his creditors to eat it.
The Tartars, when books fall into
their possession, eat them . that they
may acquire the knowledge contained
in them.
A Scandinavian writer, the author of
a political book, was compelled to
choose between being beheaded or eat-
ing his manuscript boiled in broth.
Isanc Veinier, who wrote some spicy
satires against Bernard, duke of Sax-
ony, was not allowed the courtesy of
the kitchen, but was forced to swallow
them uncooked.
Still worse was the fate of Philip
Oldenburger, n jurist of great renown,
who was condemned not only to eat a
pamphlet of his writings, but also to
be flogged during his repast, with or-
ders that the flogging should not cease
until he had swallowed the last crumb.
Terror Saved Her,
A tale of a paralytic and a stroke of
lightning: For twenty-two years a wo-
man had been paralyzed, unable to
leave her room. One night when she
happened to be alone in the house a
fierce storm broke. The poor woman
was terrified by the thunder and the
blinding glare of the lightning. With
an effort of which no one had believed
her capable she struggled from her bed
and to the house of a neighbor. Barely
bad she reached safety when the place
she had just left was struck by light-
ning. The room In which she had lived
so long was rent in two and every-
thing in it was burned or smashed.

rendered an election held thereafter
void; that after the courts had de-
termined such election a nullity it
was the duty of the county auditor
upon demand to call a new meeting
of the board to consider the petition,
and the court said that any other
construction of the statute would
enable an incompetent or dishonest
officer to prevent the consideration of
any petition for the removal of a
county seat. In that case the meet-
ing of the board was called more
than two years atter the petition had
been Bled; the county of Lincoln had
been put to the expense of a special
election, and the interested parties
put to the expense incurred in liti-
gating the question in the courts for
about two years through the fault or
mistake of a county officer. t1f there

,
and It's fifty-4nlles to the neare
house, and there aren't any more train
either way until tomorrow. Now,
I'd brought some food I might walk th
fifty miles or start off one way or th

"I telt so sure that Kauf—I beg you

"You've camped outdoors a goo

"Of course," inquiringly. Then, wi
an odd note of eagerness coming Int
his voice, "You mean I may camp rtgh
here by the track until a train comes
It won't be presumptuous atter—after

"I only control the station, Mr. Kei-
fer, and you have a right to camp any-
where you please out of doors. But
what I wish to say is that I'll be glad
to have you take supper with me and
all your meals until the train comes.
At home I was considered a very fair
cook."
The next day the down freight was
four hours late, and when it began to
slacken speed In answer to his signal
Keifer released a hand which he had
caught suddenly on the first appear-
ance of the train into the sand's level
horizon.
"I'll go and fix up my station some,"
he said, his voice tremulous with the
awed wonder in it, "and maybe have
another room put on. The company
will stand that much, I think. Theu
I'll run back and transplant the flow-
ers and take your things, and the day
before my vacation expires I'll wire

better send In your resignation at once,
Kauf"
"And announce my promotion, Kelt,"
she finished softly.
Keifer of telegraph station No. 12,
Buller's survey, had not been absent
from duty In three years. He had not
wanted to. But with that bit of ribbon
just ticked from the instrument before
his eyes he underwent a sudden change.
He would accept the vacation so tardi-
ly offered and make the most of it.
His books said that a change was good
for a man's soul, and be would come
back refreshed In mind and body.
He loved the sand views of station No.
12, for they signified home, but the
changeless monotony of the four sides
bad grown a little oppressive since the
arrival of it.
Before ticking back an acceptance
to the home once he let his finger fall
upon the instrument for a moment,
touching the hand of his new friend,
as it were.
"Hello, Kaufman," be called, "are
you in for a vacation too?"
"A week," came back the prompt an-
swer, "commencing on the 23d."
"The 23d! Why, mine ends on that
date, and It's two weeks. But I under -

There was a call from the home o

Kaufman he flashed in an acceptan
of the proffered leave of absence, too
and answered the call, made a fe

"I won't do it," he chuckled. "Kant

just drop in on him so suddenly and
affectionately that he can't help taking

So when the through freight slowed
at the water tank Keifer swung him-
self Into the caboose with a generous
outfit of tobacco and books and a brand
new pack of cards ordered up by the
freight conductor. And this same
friendly conductor, when they reached
telegraph station 13, obligingly slowed
the train so Keifer could drop into the
white, yielding sand, the familiar, un-
varying landscape of his own station.
"Accommodations!" be chuckled as
he strode eagerly toward the open
doorway of the little building. "It's
got two rooms, like my own, and that's
plenty of accommodations for any rea-
sonable man, but perhaps Kant was
used to a big house at home. Hello!
Window curtains, and flowers at the
end of the house and—Lord!'
For a young woman, pretty and neat-
ly dressed, and with lips and eyes that
were meant for smiling, but which just
now were sober with inquiry and con-
sternation, had suddenly appeared in
the doorway. Keifer bad not seen a
girl in over three years, and such a girl
as this one appeared to biro, never.
His mouth opened and shut, without
sound. .
"Well?" the girl inquired at last.
"Is—is Kauf—in? How's Karl—
well? T -tell Kant I'm out here to see
him," answered Keifer dazedly.
"I'm Kant—Adella Kaufman," said
the girl. Then the utter blankness in
the face before her seemed to restore .e

Admiration.
"There can be no real society where
compliment Is unknown. I once spent
a summer In the country In the very
New Englandest part of New England,
and I was frantic at the sharp corners
of the talk. If I were a bit pale they
said, 'Are you sick?' like savages. If
I looked in the least fetching I caught
them watching me by stealth and turn-
ing criminally away if I detected It.
To mention my praises in moments of
becoming hats or new coiffures would
have been a breach of etiquette, and it
was a point of honor not to appear to
notice a new gown. Heavens! I had
three minds to come back to town and
wear my rose chiffon In a Broadway
car for the sheer joy of being openly
admired. There Is only one thing
more 111 bred than staring at a pretty
woman — that is not noticing her.
There is only one thing better than be-
ing admired, and that is being told so.
Don't tell me that a man wbo loves a
woman cannot compliment her. If he
couldn't society would dissolve. And
It would be the man's fault."—Zona
Gale In Woman's Home Companion.
Freezing Food Before Eating.
In nearly all parts of the arctic re-
gions food Is frozen not only for pur-
poses of preservation, but also to in-
crease, as the natives believe, its nu-
tritive properties. Their fish and seal
flesh are frozen and eaten In thin slices
cut oil by ax or knife. Seal flesh half
decomposed and then frozen Is one of
the Eskimos' greatest delicacies. Wal-
rus liver, too, when frozen Is beld to
possess great sustaining power, and It
la considered that cooking deprives It
of its delicacy of flavor. The natives
of the Titicaca basin, in Peru, who in-
habit a district 12,000 feet above the
sea, prepare their potatoes by soaking
them in water, then freezing them,
then steeping them in water and mash-
ing them to remove the soluble matter.
After this they are dried and become
an article of food. They will then keep
any length of time and are extremely
convenient for carrying on long jour-
neys. The oka, another vegetable of
the district, is prepared in the same
way.

The Word "Bribery."
"Bribery" is a word with a curious
history. In the old Geneva Bible it Is
said of the scribes and pharisees that
they "make clean the outer side of the
cup and of the platter, but within they
are full of bribery." The authorized
version has "extortion," and there is
no doubt that by "bribery" the Geneva
Bible meant robbery. "Bribery" prob-
ably meant originally a morsel, a bro-
ken off piece, but It occurs first in old
French, signifying a piece of bread
given to a beggar; hence the Italian
"barba," vagrancy, and the old French
"brlbenr," a beggar or greedy devour-
er. "Bribe" developed in two direc-
tions, In the senses of robbery and of a
present When Falstaff speaks of "a
bribed buck" he means not one that
had been corrupted, but one that had
been stolen.

FUEL SAVING DEVICE. AIR OF LIVING ROOM
Stove Attaehmeat Assures Perfect
Combustion.
In the accompanying engraving Is il-
lustrated a novel device which is ap-
plicable to ranges, stoves and .open
grates and which alms to provide &
better control of the draft than has
heretofore been possible, thus effecting
a Bel•Ing In fuel. The device has the
form of n box, smaller at the top than
at the bottom. The rear of the box 1s
left open, while the other three sides
are formed of inclined walls provided
with long vertical apertures. The bot-
tom of the box Is provided with a slid-
ing plate, the purpose of which will be
presently explained.
The air box, as the device Is termed,
is placed on the grate of a stove, to
which It Is secured by means of bolts.
It thus takes up most of the space
usually occupied by the fuel. The rear
of the air box fits closely against the
rear wall of the fire box, but a narrow
space Is left on the other three sides

to receive the fuel. By this meaus the
area of the fire is greatly Increased,
while the depth is reduced. Air passes
up from the grate Into the box and
thence through the apertures to the fire.
The plate at the bottom of the air box
serves as n damper which can be mov-
ed in or out to control the amount of
air fed to the fire.
Owing to the shallowness of the fire
and the general distribution of air, n
perfect combustion of the incl is as-
sured. In proof of the value of the air
box it is pointed out that there is n
material reduction In the amount of
smoke from a stove supplied with this
device. The inventor of the air box is
Miss B. J. Mouat, P. O. South Dunedin,

NIGHT AIR PUREST.
More 3lrcrobes Are Borne by Atmos-
phere in Daytime.
"It is a popular delusion, which had
its origin in the days of mythology,
that night air Is bad," said Dr. Somer-
ville Hastings, at the London Institute
of Hygiene.
"So far from night air being noxious,
it often carries only half the microbes
borne by the atmosphere by the day.
"If bedroom windows were always
open top and bottom, bronchial troubles
would be more rare, and the body
made hardier and more capable of re-
sisting disease.
"The scourge which costs the world
2,000,000 lives a year is largely due to
the breathing of impure air, which cre-
ates a susceptibility to colds, induces
bronchial catarrh, provides a habita-
tion for the tubercle bacillus, and act-
ually fosters consumption.
"To be healthy, a large portion of
one's time should be spent in the open
air; hence agricultural life Is the
healthiest.
"Fire promotes ventilation, as It car-
ries impure air up the cbtmuey; but
coal helps to pollute the nlr, and is, to
a large extent, responsible for fogs. In
London alone 200 tons of sulphur are
burnt every day in the form of coal.
"Those who work In large cities and
cannot get their proper supply of fresh
air by day should make sure of it at
night by opening all the windows."
Cornet With Two Bells.
In the rearrangement of the construc-
tion of the cornet a recent inventor has
made a double barreled Instrument
which is a decided novelty, in its ap-
pearance at least. The cornet hna two
bells. These bells are alike in material,
shape and size, so that the character of
the tone emitted from both will be
alike. All open tones and tones pro-
duced by the depression of the first and
third valves, either singly or jointly,
are emitted through the first bell, while
tones produced by the depression of

Values of Sawdust.
Sawdust and wood waste form the

acts. Your newspaper is made of wood
pulp trom`sawdust. Your cabinetmak-
er uses solid blocks of fine highly pol-
ished wood made from sawdust' mixed
with gum or alum. Sawdust Is also
used in making certain acids, tar, char-
coal, wood pavement and for produc-
ing the naphtha with which you clean
)tour' gloves. Even the needles of pine
trees are now made into a fiber used
in stuffing soca cushions and as a wad-
ding for overcoats.
Remarkable Invention.

AN ANCIENT SHRINE.
n Statue of Goddess Hathor round In
Temple at Thebes.
an The Egypt Exploration fund's exca-
- cations of Thebes this year have pro -
e duced wonderful results. The explorers
I. have been excavating at the oldest
temple known In Thebes, which be•
longs to the eleventh dynasty. Work-
ing at the back of the temple the ex-
plorers found the remains of a .brine
of the eighteenth dynasty, 1700 B. C.
The first discovery wail a fine statue
which was quite perfect. Then sudden.
ly the removal of a few stones reveal -
e ed a chapel covered with sculptures, the
e colors whereof were absolutely fresh.
It was about 10 by 5 feet. The roof
was vaulted and painted Wl& yellow
stars.
The chapel was dedicated to Ilathor,
goddess of the mountain of the west,
who generally is in the form of a cow.
In the chapel is the statue of a beauti-
ful cow of life size of painted nine -
atone. The bead and horns evidently
Imre been overlaid with .gold. The
next is adorned with papyrus Stems of
flowers, as If she were coming out of
the water.
The cow Is suckling a little boy, who
again Is represented as a grown man
ander her neck. A cartoucbe behind
the head is of Amenophts 11., son of
Thothmes III., who ruled Egypt 1.700
years before the beginning of the
Christian era and whose sculptures
cover the walls.
This is the first time a go,ldeas has
been found undisturbed in her sanctu-
ary. Moreover, no cow has ever been
found of such size and superb work-
manship. The modeling .of the animal
is exquisite, the distinctive character-
istics of the Egyptian cattle of the pres-
ent day being reproduced.
The statue Is uninjured except in n
small piece of the right ear. The eow
wears the special insignia of the god-
dess Lunar, and the disk between the
horns Is surmounted by two feathers.
There is so much life in the load that
the goddess appears as I! about to
step out of her sanctuary.
Soldiers were immediately placed on
guard night and day. The statue will
be removed to Cairo as Wen ns pos.
Bible. The shrine also Probably will be
taken down and rebuilt In a museum.
Its value Is too enormous and the dif-
ficulties of guarding it so great that It
is too serious a risk to leave It In its
present position.
m consequence of which th
particles of dust ludgiug on the stov
bum and vitiate the air. But the ho
air flues of furnaces also easily become
overheated, in consequence of which
dust lodging burns and the products of
the burning mingle with the air.
The Prete Deutsche Presse says that
Professor Barnard) of Hanover "found
in his investigations that on small
heated bodies not above 70 degrees C.
in temperature the dust la always
decomposed- On ground floors, Indeed,
where the air rushing in directly from
the greet is mingled with the dust
from the horses' evacuations, the bad
odor already begin, to be perceptible
when the surfaces are heated to 65 de-
grees. Notable Is tte observation made
by Nussbaum that dust which proceeds
from air artificially saturated with
steam evolves vapors more evil smell-
ing and irritating than the dust from
ordinary air.
"In order to prevent the vitiation of
the air in a room ,the heated surfaces
must not be heated over 63 degrees to
70 degrees, and every further addition•
of moisture to the sir is to be avoided.
Of course the'heated bodies themselves
are to be kept sc'rlipulously clean and
are to be frequently washed off. But
this cleansing doer not fully protect
from the decompc tiuon of dust, be-
cause the air sweeting past the heated
bodies always brings dust upon the
heated surfaces *gain. In furnace
heating the air milt be carefully kept
free of dust --1, e., lie filtered."
USES OF LIQUID AIR.
Manufactured In Prance For Iudu
trial Purposes.
Consul Brunet of Suint-Etlenn
writes' that a group of savants of th
Academie des Sciences, Paris, recent
paid a visit to a factory at Boulogn
sur -Seine to witness the manufactu
for. industrial purposes of enormo
quantities of oxygen and nitrogen e
tracted in a liquid state from atm
pheric air. The consul says:
"Georges Claude, the inventor of
interesting process, furnished the
planauons. As the liquid oxygen flo
ed out from the generator it was of
bluish hue, while the nitrogen wa
colorless. Several experiments w
made for the vtsltprs to prove the im
portance of having nn abundant suppl
of oxygen at one's disposal. A for
set up in the grounds showed the won
derful effects of the gas. The fire
whish had almost diet) out, was Imm
diately rendered Incandescent by a cur
rent of hydroxide from the blowpipe
A bar of iron was brought to a red
eat and then melted like lead. Two
feces of iron were welded In a few
minutes by the ald of a powerful
ams from the blowpipe. Much costly
nd tedfone riveting will be no longer
ecessary. Iron will be welded against
ron, copper against copper, etc. The
octors already foresee the possible
eatment with 1)(111)(1 air of certain at-
ectlons of microbisa origin, such as
steomyelitis, anthrax and the malig-
ant disease of the skin termed lupus.
"Liquid air has been tried In mipes
s an explosive agent, and for this
repose marl is wet with petroleum
nd then saturated with liquid air.
e paste thus formed constitutes a
goad explosive when fired with fulmi-
te and has the advantage, when it
ngs fire, to be without danger, as the
uld air evaporates very rapidly.

Claude, for industrial purposes will

A book of "Beautiful Women,"
Hallett Hyatt, has pictures of some
the most beautiful women that h
ever lived, and Mrs. Steuart Ersk
has gathered their romantic stories.
One Bowes upon a picture of El
Farren, the actress, who began life
playing childish parts in a stroll
company and advanced to fame In Lo
don as Mss Ilardcastle In "She Stoo
to Conquer." She became a favorite
society and married the twelfth Lo
Derby, when she "lived happily et
after," taking her place at court a
in society. No barriers are lnsurmoun
able to the career of beauty.
Here is the picture of "Madame,"
beautiful Henrietta Stuart, young
daughter of Charles I., who marri
the Duke of Orleans. The featur
seem hard and the expression som
what cold and stately. She would a
pit; a woman more of brain than te
d ess. In reality she had a sparkll
wit, with that wonderful gift of pe
sonal magnetism—"All men loved a
most women adored her," wrote a g
lent Frenchman to his memoirs.
Life In the French court was a co
tlnual round of pleasure, and the da
were passed In ballets and theatrics
In the morning madame would dri
out with her ladies, to be escorted
their return by King Louis XIV. a
his court on horseback. After supp
they would all drive out, accompanl
by Lulil's violins, to watch the moo
light on the water and talk the moo
shine of lovers.
Five years later madame was th
king's trusty adviser and the only m
dium of communication between hl
and her brother, Charles II. It was 1
the spring of 1670 that she brough
about that secret treaty of Dover tha
made Charles a Roman Catholic an
plunged England Into war with Ho
land,
That was the summit of madame'
power. The sequel was ghastly an
dramatic. A few weeks later she wa
at St. Cloud in the flush of high spirits
at her success. A glass of iced chicory
water was brought at her request, and
she drank It off quickly. Five minutes
later madame was no more. All the
power of her fascination and beauty
was ended by a secret poison.
As the pages are turned the portrait
of a lady in a brocaded dress appears,
a face wltti a very deep forehead and
expressionless lips. This is the femme.Mme. de Pompadour. Her birth was
very humble Indeed, but she came in
the way of Louis X1'., who gave her
unlimited Influence till she became a
recognized power in Europe. For
many years she conducted the foreign
policy of France, intervit{wing ambas-
sadors and treating with kings. Re-
buffed by Frederick the Great, this
amazing woman made overtures to
Maria Theresa of Austria to divide his
kingdom between them, and, sitting In
her summer house, she gayly arranged
with a couple of diplomats the repartl-
tion of Europe.
Moreover, but for the freedom she
gave to her personal likes and dislikes,
It is not improbable that she would
have accomplished some of the less
wild of her schemes. Her dramatic
end has often been told. In the midst
of a discussion on affairs of state, as
she sat rouged and powdered in her
chair, the cure who was with her rose
to go. She detained him. "One mo-
ment, M. le Cure," she said, "we will
take our departure together." And a
few minutes later the beautiful diplo-
matist was dead.
The portrait of the unlucky Marie
Antoinette, frank, queenly, superb, of
whom Burke rapturously wrote, "Glit-
tering Ilke the morning star, full of life
and splendor and joy," is here too. Re-
call her life at the Petit Trianon, that
miniature palace with the Corinthian
pillars, where she wandered about un-
attended and no one rose at her ap-
proach. It is always grimly pathetic
that the one French queen who a little
fulfilled the part that we have been
taught to expect from a queen should
have been sacrificed to the mad rage
of the revolution.
Angelica Kauffman was the child of
a Tyrolese peasant, who made her way the e force of her artistic gifts as
well as her beauty. She was one of the
original members of the Royal acad-
emy. Like many a beautiful woman
who never becomes famous, she was
married secretly to an adventurer who

CRUEL PUNISHMENTb.
the Old Time Use of Torture In Legal
Processes.
The constitution of the United States
and the constitutions of the various
states In prohibiting cruel and unusual
punishments were not fighting an ab-
surdity. The use of torture iu legal
processes was not, when these instru-
ments were framed, so remote as It is
now.
«'beu Sir Thomas Dole carne as high
marshal to Virginia he crushed a con-
spiracy by killing the ringleaders by
torture. one had a bodkin thrust
through his -tongue and was chained
to a tree until tie died. Others were
broken on the wheel. It Is quaintly
stated that Sir Thomas was "a man
of good consci'w ' and knowledge In
divinita." Bole's date was 1611.
Tlie next notable instance of the use
of torture was in 1592, in the Salem
witchcraft excitement, when Giles
Cory was pressed to death—the "peine
dure et forte," the most horrible of
deaths.
Executions were In public through-
out the east until comparatively recent
times. When Quelch, the pirate, and
six others were hanged in Boston, Sew-
all wrote hi his diary. "When the scaf-
fold was let to sink there was such a
screech of the women that my wife
heard it, sitting in our entry next to
the orchard," though the gallows was
a mile away and the wind unfavorable.
The use of torture to wring the truth
from witnesses Is said to have been rec-
ognized as legal In Austria until well
within the century.
CURIOUS FISH.
They Keep Their Eggs In Natural
Pockets In Their 31outbs,
In the sea of Galilee, or Lake Tibe-
rias, as It is also culled, there is a
strange fish named the Chrowis siwo-
ills, which is more careful of its young
than fish generally are. The wale
takes the eggs In his mouth and keeps
them In bis natural side pockets, where
they are regularly hatched and remain
until able to shift for themselves. By
this lugeuious arrangement the brood
is comparatively guarded against its
natural. enemies. It is easily fed, too,
but It Is a puzzle how the little ones
escape being eaten alive. Awhile ago,
says a traveler writing to a religious
contemporary, I found in my net a
number of these fish without eyes.
Others of the species, when I lifted
them up, dropped a number of little
fishes out of theIr mouths, which swam
away hastily. The natives explained
the phenomenon. The blind chrowis
is the victim of sea hawks. When

FOND OF FINERY.
Elephants Delight In Dress and Gor-
geous Trappings.
Elephants are passionately fond of
finery and delight to see themselves
decked out with gorgeous trappings.
The native princes of India are very
particular in choosing their state ele-
phants and will give fabulous sums for
an animal that exactly tweets the some-
what fanciful standards they have
erected.
For these they have made cloths of
silk so heavily embroidered with gold
that two men are hardly able to lift
them.
An amusing Instance of elephautiue
pride le narrated: The elephant which
usually led the state procession of a
rajah being 111, the magnificent trap-
pings were placed on one which bad
up to that time occupied only a subor-
dinate place.
The animal, delighted with Its finery,
showed its glee by so many little
squeaks and kicks of pleasure that gen-
eral attention was attracted to It.
Not long after another state proces-
sion was formed, and the previous
wearer of the gold cloths, being re-
stored to health, took hls accustomed
place and trappings, when the now de-
graded beast, imagining, perhaps, that
he was being defrauded of his promo-
tion, was with great difficulty restrain-
ed from attacking the leader of the
parade.
Road Markers.
On some of the Yorkshire moors
white posts are to be seen along the
narrow tracks which serve as roads.
They are called "stoops" and are some-
thing like boundary posts In appear-
ance. A casual observer might imag-
ine that they really did denote a coun-
ty or pariah boundary, but such is not
the case. When snow covers the
ground and the paths are invisible
these posts point out where they lie
and so save the wayfarer from being
lost.—London Mail.
A Long Life.
To prolong life one should take plen-
ty of sleep and remember to sleep lying
on the right side, Indulge in a morning
bath In tepid water, take daily exercise
in the open air, keep the window of the
sleeping room open all night, take fre-
quent and short holidays, not be over-
ambitious and hold one's temper.

Our First Saving" Bask,
The first savings bank established in
the United States was in Philadelphia,
which opened Dec. 2, 1818. It is said
that the first deposit made In this bank
was the sum of 8 shillings, handed over
the counter by a boy. The bank was
entitled, The Savings Fund Society of
Philadelphia." The first bank of this
kind established in New York was
chartered Noy. 25, 1818, and went into
business July 3, 1810.

LAPP WOLF HUNTERS.
Swift Runners on Snowshoes make
Short Work of the Brutes,
The Swedish Lapps live entirely
With, by and upon their reindeer. A
Lapp who owns a thousand deer is a
very rich man; but, as taxes are as-
sessed upon the number of deer, he is
inclined to underestimate his herd.
The most dangerous enemy to the herd
Is the wolf, who, if so disposed, can
kill thirty deer to a night. A band of
Wolves can wake a rich Lapp poor.
When the snow Is deep and soft and
it is announed that wolf tracks have
been seen in the neighborhood of the
deer the swiftest rudaess on snow-
Ihoes prepare for an exciting chase.
The wolf may have a start of a mile
Or two, but the track it leaves In the
deep, soft snow is so prominent that
We hunters can follow it at their best
Speed.
The wolf, though he may run fast,
bas but slight chance of escaping the
Short men who on snowshoes rush
through the wood, dart down steep
hills and jump from ledges several
Yards in height. Each hunter does hiss
best to outrun the others, for the wolf
belongs to the Lapp who strikes the
first blow. As soon as the leading
bunter is close enough to the wolf he
gives it a heavy blow across the loin
With his strong spiked snowshoe staff.
If there are other tvelt•es to be pur-
sued, he kills it outright; if not, he
disables it and waits till all the hunt-
ers arrive before giving the death
Stroke.
On Tipping the Hat.
New Yorkers still cling to the an-
cient custom of tipping their hats when
greeting a male friend or acqualutance.
It is a common eight to see a staid,
prosperous looking business man as he
passes an acquaintance tipping his hat,
although the other Is alone and unac-
companied by a wonuttt. It is the
same after a party has been together
somewhere, at dinner. probably, or at
the theater. You will notice that as
one separates himself from the others
he will say good night or au revolr and
then tip his bat. Also when one man

EARLY FIRE IMPLEMENTS,
Appliances Used ib This Country la
the Seventeenth Century.
Undoubtedly
Undoubtedly the brat fire company
organized In this country east formed
in New York in 1658. 11 was called the
Prowlers and was composed of eight
men, with 250 buckets, books and small
ladders. Where the buckets were ob-
tained and whether or not they were
In addition to those owned by the town
the records fail to state. In 107DSalem
purchased two or three dozen cedar
buckets, besides hooks and other im-
plements; also the selectmen and two
others were authorized to take com-
mand at fires and to blow up and pull
down buildings when such action was
necessary. This practice appears to
have been much wore common before
the use of engines than afterward.
Beaton ou Sept. 9, 1619, ordered that
every quarter of the town should be
provided with twenty strobes, two
scoopes and six axes, The swobes, or
swabs, as they are now called, were
long handled mops that could be used
to put out roof fires. The general use
of swabs has long duce disappeared,
but when a slight blase Is beyond the
reach of a pall of water and more im-
proved apparatus Is not at hand a
long handled mop It toldny the most ef-
ficient article to be used. In Japan
these swabs may bo seen on many roof
tops.
In 1690 New York ordered that five
ladders and also hooks be made. In
Philadelphia no mention Is made of
public precaution against fire until
1896, when a iaw was passed forbid-
ding the firing of chimneys or allowing
the same to become foul. Each house
was to have a swab, bucket or pall.
Another act was passed In 1700 order-
ing every household to have two leath-
er buckets. In the following year six
or eight hooks for the purpose of tear-
ing
earing down houses were ordered to be
made.
BINDING THE FEET.
This Queer Cbinese Custom Is a Com-
paratively Modern one.
China's custom of binding the feet of
its women is not as ancient as has
been supposed. A correspondent of
one of the native Chinese papers
quotes from the letters of Yuan Mel,
who lived in the eighteenth eentury.
In one of his letters Yuan Mel wrote
to a friend: "You ask me to get you a
handsome wife and ardently deetre, as
your first requisite, that abe sinal! have
small feet. Surely you cannot be one
who admires true beauty. An ndmirer
of true beauty has his own individual
tastes, disdaining to follow the dic-
tates of others. Our ancient literature,
in both prose and poetry, has many al-
lusions in praise of beautiful women,
but in no instance towhee upon small
feet.
"A work treating of the customs of
the Sung dynasty by Shen Yo Hays a
man's well made shoes are said to be
square, and a woman's round, at the
toe. Iu the Tang dynasty, the Bret al-
lusion to the feet of Yang Kwel Fel,
the court beauty, was about her silk
stockings. In one of Ilan Tung Lang's
poems, referring to a woman's feet, he
says, 'Her six inch feet so bright and
sleek.' These allusions clearly point
to unbound feet."
Yuan Mel's letter concludes by say-
ing that the taste of those who Ignore
the beauty of face and form is deprav-
ed. He laments that sensible men
should be so led away by a foolish
Cashion.
Origin of the Amaze.
It lit to India and to the Arabs as
middlemen that Europe, and through
Europe America, owe the orange. The
orange crossed from Africa toe Spain
with Mohammedanism, while probably
the crusaders are to be thanked for
bringing It to Italy and western Eu-
rope among their trophies of the east.
The very name is really Arable—"na-
ranj"—and of eastern origin, though
the legend that It comes from two
words meaning "elephant" and "be
lib," because elephants ate oranges to
make themselves III, is absurd. Prob-
ably In French the Initial "n" Is drop-
ped off from naranj, with the final
"b" of the indefinite article, just as
our "an apron" represents "a napron,"
and the spelling with an "o" points to
false association with "or" (gold).—

A Good Reason.
Two Irishmen were digging a sewer.
One of them was a big, strong man
about six feet four Inches In height.
and the other one was a little, puny
man about four feet six inches. The
foreman came along to see bow the
work was progressing and noticed that
one of them was doing more work than
the other. "Look here," he cried, "how
Is it that little Dennis Dugan, who is

twice as much work as you, Patrlck7"
Glancing down to his partner, Pat re-
plied: "And why shouldn't he? Ain't

THE CUPEY TREE.
One of the Most Carlon■ Growths of
the West Indies.
The cupey, or, as It Is sarcastically
called In the English possessions, "the
attorney," is one of the most curious,
as It Is one of the most picturesque,
denizens of the virgin forests of the
West Indian islands. It belongs to the
parasitical family of trees or plants;
but, terrible to relate, it Invariably,
with the basest ingratitude, destroys
ail life In the unfortunate tree that
cherishes it In Its early growth. The
seeds are borne on the wings of the
wind and deposited on the branches
of other trees, when they burst into
roots, which are dropped toward the
ground all around the "nurse" tree.
In time these roots reach the ground
and strike into the soil.
From this moment the roots grow
stronger and stronger until they resem-
ble a lot of trope ladders thrown over
the tree. Next the parasite sends down
a great cord, which twines around the
trunk of the supporting tree, at first as
though In loving embrace, but It grows
tighter and tighter, eventually stran-
gling its benefactor out of existence.
The nurse tree thus killed rots to de-
cay, and from the immense fibrous
roots of the destroyer now springs a
great trunk, which rises high Into the
air. When n cupey Is full grown it
presents tr magnificent spectacle, for
the cordlike root rises often to fifty or
sixty feet and supports In midair the
vast tree Itself.
MARIE ANTOINETTE.
Two Dramatic and Contrasting Epi-
sodes In Her Life.
T'hlatelton-Dyer, in his "Royalty In
All Ages," describes two dramatic
Ind tragically contrasted episodes in
the life of Simile Antoinette, the lovely
and 111 fated queen of France. Once,
in the days of her greatest popularity,
when she went to the opera of "Iphi-
genia, ' when Achilles came to the line
"Let us slug and celebrate the queen,"
he turned toward the radiant young
sovereign and sang two additional im-
promptu lines of charming compliment.
This graceful and unexpected homage
so delighted the audience that "all was
shouting and clapping of hands, and—
what never happened at the opera be-
fore—the chorus was encored, and
there were cries of 'Long live the
queen!' at whish expression of feeling
her majesty was so affected that she
shed tears."
On the neat oceasion, when Marie
Antoinette's sun of popular favor had
set and site was nearing the tragic
close of her IW, one of the actresses in
"Unforeseen Events" bowed to her as
she sang the words "Ah, how I love
my mistress!" In a moment all was in
uproar, and the theater was full of
hoarse, angry cries of "No mistress!
No master! Liberty!" and "No ma rt
No queen!" and it was some mf utes
before the tumult quieted down nd it
was possible to proceed with tits play.
SOUPS AND BROTHS.
They Are Stimulating, but Have Lit-
tle Nutritive Value.
Soups and broths made of the meat
pieces moue and without the addition
of meat substance, eggs, vegetables or
cereals have little nutritive value, al-
though they do possess stimulating
properties.
A. dog would starve to death In ten
days if fed upon beef broth pure and
simple.
Soup interferes with digestion when-
ever a full meal is eaten. I consider it
as being entirely superfluous and ad-
vise its discontinuance in a substantial
dinner menu.
Soup, being practically all water,
plays an Important part in conjunction
with the large quantities of other
liquids injected during mealtime in de-
laying and interfering with digestion
and laying a foundation for stomach
trouble. Through it and the other
liquids used the stomach is not only
overfilled and unnecessarily burdened,
but the gastric secretions are so weak-
ened by dilution that they can act but
slowly upon the food mass. Here
again we have the food remaining in
the stomach for too long a period, and
there is likely to be produced all of the
symptoms and signs of an Intoxication
due to the absorption into the system
of the products of decomposed foods.
Soup eaten by itself or with a light
meal, as a rule, does not act harmfully.

"Hand in a lot of cerda," said the
elder woman.
"Why?" was the hurried inquiry.
"Weil, if yon don't hand in enough,"
she said, as ber companion dived deep
into ber case, "they will say you don't
know what is right. It you give too

TriIP TO A FIXED STAR.
Would Be a Long Journey Even With
Transportation Facilities.
There is a perpetual fascination about
the stars and the Immense distances at
which they Ile from one another and
from us. To demonstrate the vast dis-
tance of Centauri from this planet a
popular scientist gives the following
illustration In London Answers: "We
shall suppose that some wealthy direct-
ors, for want of outlet for their en-
ergy and capital, coustruct a railway to
Centauri. We shall neglect for the
present the engineering difficulties, a
mere detail, and suppose them over-
come and the railway open for traffic.
We shall go further and suppose that
the directors have found the construc-
tion of such a railway to bare been pe-
culiarly easy and that the proprietors
of interstellar space had not been ex-
orbitant In their terms for •right of
way.
"Therefore, with a view to encourage
traffic, the directors have made the fare
exceedingly moderate—viz, first class
at 1 penny per hundred miles. Desir-
ing to take advantage of these facilI-
tles, a gentleman, by way of providing
himself with small change for the jour-
ney, buys up the national debt of Brit-
ain and a few other countries and, pre-
senting himself at the office, demands
a first class single fare to Centauri.
"For this he tenders in payment the
price of the ticket, £1,100,000,000.
"Having taken his seat, it occurs to
him to ask:
"'At what rate do you travel?'
"'Sixty miles an hour, sir, including
stoppages,' is the answer.
"'Then when shall we reach Centau-
ri?'
"'In 48,608,000 years, sir!' "
HENRY BELL'S COMET.
The First Steamer That Plied For
Hire in Great Britain,
Among the curiosities of advertising
may surely be placed the first ad-
vertisement of the first steamer that
plied for hire in Great Britain—namely,
Henry Bell's Comet. Thus ran the ad-
vertisement in the Glasgow Courier of
1812:
"Steam passage boat, the Comet, be-
tween Glasgow, Greenock and Helens -
burg. For passengers only. The sub-
scriber having at much expense littecl
up a handsome vessel to ply upon the
river Clyde between Glasgiw and
Greenock --to sail by the pMver of
wind, air and steam—he intends that
the vessel shall leave the Ilroowtelaw
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days about midday or at such time
thereafter as may answer from the
state of the tide and to leave Greenock
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
in the morning to suit the tide. The
elegance, comfort, safety and speed
of this vessel require only to be proved
to meet the approbation of the public,
and the proprietor is determined to do
everything in his power to merit public
encouragement. The terms are for the
present 4 shillings for the best cabin
and 8 shillings for the second, but be-
yond these rates nothing is to be al-
loyed to servants or any other person
emsloyed about the vessel."
What would poor neglected IIeury
Bell have said could he have seen his
humble little Comet, of whose elegance,
Comfort and speed he was so proud,
alongside a modern ocean racer or one
of the latest palatial river steamers of
the Clyde or Thames, all so well ad-
vertised?—Chambers' Journal.
Why Timothy Grass Is So Called.
The forage grass known to the farm-
ers of the United States as timothy is
so called because first introduced and
extensively cultivated in this country
by one Timothy Hanson, a farmer of
Maryland. This species of grass Is
well known In England and all over
western continental Europe, where it
is grown extensively by most farmers
between the Mediterranean and the
North seas. The botanical name of this
grass is Phleum pretense. Timothy Is
known in the British Isles as cat's tall
grass and in several of our eastern
states as herd, or herd's, grass. It was
grown In large quantities In Maryland
and Pennsylvania long before a spear
06 It had ever been seen In England,
the first seed of 1t ever seen in the last
named country being Imported from
America.

Railroad Discrimination.
The complaints of citizens of Hast-
ings against the Milwaukee Road for
alleged discriminations in freight
rates were heard in St. Paul by C. A.
Prouty, of the interstate commerce
commission, this week. It was
shown that the charge from Duluth
to Hastings is $1.75 on hard coal and
1.40 on soft, while to Afton, with a
longer haul of sixteen miles, the
charge is $1.40 on hard coal and
;1.05 on soft. The charge to St.
Paul is $ 1.•_25 on hard coal and ninety
cents on soft, and the commissioner
volunteered the statement that the
Hastings. rate as compared with this
was unreasonable. The rate on
rattle from Hastings to Chicago was
stated at twenty-five cents, and from
South St. Paul to Chicago at tifteen
cents. Among the Ilastings witnesses
were Louis Niedere, F. A. Engel,

The merchants of Red Wing got a
• present of a hundred dollars or more
yesterday. The resolution passed by
the ,Merchants' Association, referring
all advertising schemes to the sec-
retary and executive committee, did
it. A man came to town to solicit
advertising for hotel registers. Does
anybody know of trade obtained from
a card in a hotel register? The
man's scheme was not approved, and
Ile left town on the first train. Now
will those people, who would surely
have come down with their money if
the Merchants' Association had not
devised this safeguard, use the mon-
ey saved to boom their business in a
legitimate way? Nine chances out
of ten they will not, but they
certainly ought to. If the people of
Red Wing would contribute the
money henceforth for legitimate ad-
vertising which they have heretofore
given away to schemes and fakes,
Red Wing would be thoroughly ad-
vertised as a retail market, and there
would he little to fear from catalogue

of wrong check marks, ani perhaps
a dozen more which had been passed
over for some reason or other. Five
hundred and ninety-two names had
been stricken off before six p. m., and
after supper several additional names
had been considered, when Gen.
Childs arose and in an eloquent ad•
dress, replete with kind references
to the manner in which the contest
Kati been conducted, announced that
he citizens' committee of Farming-
ton, being satisfied that the petition
no longer contained names enough to
secure au election, withdrew from
the contest. He highly commended
the members of the board for their
fairness and absolute impartiality,
and said some very fine things of the
attitude of the Hastings committee
and citizens in the conduct of their
case.
Mr. P. 11. O'Keefe followed with a
short address in the same vein, and
Mr. Albert Schaller responded on be-
half of our committee and citizens.
Mr. T. J. Knox added a few words,
calling attention to the unusual
spectacle presented in this case of the
ending of a county seat contest With:
so little evidence of ill feeling and
with so much evidence of good will
and mutual respect by the contestants.
Mr. I. A. Herrick closed the sym-
posium with a few well chosen words,
which were received with much ap-
plause.
The board then adjourned until
morning, and the late contestants
repaired to the Commercial Club,
where light refreshments were served
and the very best feeling of good
fellowship was manifested by all
present. The citizens of Dakota
County are to be congratulated over
this pleasant termination of a most
unpleasant controversy.
The following is a verbatim report
of the interesting speeches:
H. W. CHiLDs.
Mr. chairman and gentlemen of
the board: I need not say to
any one present that Dakota County
is a splendid county, full of noble
men, all of whom are deeply in-
terested in its welfare. Some of you
were born in this county, your years
have been passed here; some have seen
it develop from primitive conditions un-
til it has attained its present almost
matchless state, boasting a civilization
comparable with that of any section of
our state. Your are all loyal to your
county; you desire to see it prosperous,
desire to see it maintain n good name
among the people of the state. It is not
well in a great community like this to
harbor animosities, or to be torn and
rent by factions, weakeuing and de-
structive to the best intereeta of the
county. In this case I have appreciated
from the outset the importance of this
proceeding being conducted in an order -
y way, because I foresaw, gentlemen,
that manifestations of bad blood and
bad temper might lay the foundations of
an ill will which would leave its effects
for more than a generation to come, and
have a powerful influence either for
good or evil in the future development
of the county. It is commendable for
the citizen of any town to de1re that his
city or village be the capital town of he
county, but there is something of far
greater importance than this, and that is
that the sentiments of the people at
large be noble and generous. I admire
the man who is loyal to his town; I have
an admiration for the people of Farming-
ton who have beeu desirous of securing
the location of the county seat in that
village; they have put their money
generously into this contest; they have
given of their time and their labor in the
prosecution of their efforts; they have
made a manly, generous fight to secure
a change of county seat from he city of
Hastings to the village of Farmington.
Do I not speak what you all believe
when I say it you had been residents of
the village of Farmington, you, all who
are here this evening, then you had been
enlisted with these, my clients, as
earnestly as they in secnnng a change of
county seat; had the people of Farming-
ton been living in the city of Hastings
during the past three months, and an
equal number ot those of this city living
in the village of Farmington, they then
would have been with you in this fight.
I do not blame the village of Farming-
ton for making the fight to get the
county seat, I don't blame the people
of the city of Hastings for ma ng a
fight to keep it. It all bespeaks loyalty
to one's nee tow
n.
Now,
ntl
geamen the
fates are against my clients in this fight.
The petition on which they have baaed
their hopes has been so reduced in num-
ber by the industrious activities of the
gentlemen from the city of Hastings
that it is no longer sufficient in point of
law to warrant a special election; and so
I have risen to say to yon, �ggeentlemen,
that so far as the people of Farmington
are concerned this contest is at an end.
Before taking my seat I want to express
to you the gratitude I feel at the sense
of candor and fairness which has charac-
terized the members of this board in the
very difficult work which the law has
imposed upon them. I have been im-
pressed from the outset,
With the he
begin-
ning of your labors here, with your fine
resolve to be just in thia oonteet. Yon,
the five commissioners elected by the
people at large in the county, came here
determined to so perform your duties
that when your task was done no one
could point at yon and say that yon had
been derilect in yonr duty or faithless
to your office, and that, gentlemen, is the
way plittilic offioers ought always to die-
oharge`their duties. I trust that the
aognaintances which I have formed here
will remain pleasant ones, and that it
shall be my happy privilege to meet you
again some time in some path of life, and
be assured it will always afford me great
pleasure to renew this acquaintance.
Gentlemen, I thank yon.
P. H. O'KESFE.
I wish to endorse every word that Gen.
Childs has said, and I don't know that

ALBERT SCHALLER.
Mr. chairman and gentlemen of the
board: As it seems to be in order to
make a few remarks, I want to state that
I believe Gen. Childs has stated the facts
in this matter loth as to the vigor with
which the campaign has been prosecuted
on behalf of the citizens of Farmington
and as to the vigor with which it has
been resisted by the people of Hastings.
Now, I dearly love a mon who makes
a gocxl fight; I respect him; I admire
hits. All the world, they say, loves n
lover. I think all the world loves a fighter.
Iu this contest we have felt we met
foemeu worthy of our steel, and out of
this conteet I think will grows a mutual
respect, and the men who fought in this
tight, don't mean the men who sat back
and told you how you ought to do it, I
mean the men who went out in the
field, facing the hard work. I mean yon,
citizens of Farmington, who were doing
your duty to your town, those aro the
men who are entitled to the credit in this
matter. If we have met you we have
met you fairly, and whatever we have
done has been tinder investigation here,
and I think, gentlemen, you are pmba-
bly satisfied that nothing has been done
here that is unworthy of any citizen of
Dakota County. There are charges and
counter charges made in this, its there
would be in anything else; hese contests
carry with hem nn element of excite-
ment, of bitterness and fend, that some-
times outlast the lives of those who took
part in them, but I believe that in this
case the matter has been conducted in
such a manner that there has been left a
very small element of bitterness, if any,
and having met each other in this fight,
we quit it bettor acquainted, with more
respect for each other, and better friends
than we were before this contest started.
On behalf of those who have taken the
opposite side in this question I want to
thank our friends from Farmington for
the manner in which they have conduct-
ed this contest. I mean the men who
actually did conduct it. We always
have everywhere people who can criticise
and tell you what yon ought to have
done and how you should have done it,
but I mean those people who actually
did the work. We have seen them hero
in this contest, and have found them
square. They have taken our word for
matters that have come up here, and we
have taken theirs. \Ve have not attempt-
ed to deceive them, and I know they
have not attempted to deceive us. We
have played the game open and above
board. %Ve happened to have the better
cards, that is all there is to it. On
behalf of the people of Hastings I wish
to reiterate to you every word of praise
he general has spoken. Our united
efforts will make the county of
Dakota oue of the best and brightest of
the counties of the state of Minnesota.
We thank you for having called attention
to one thing, that in order to succeed in
Hastings we have got to get together. I
thank you.
T. J. Kxox.
As talking seems he order of the day
I will briefly say I am not only surprised
and not only most gratified, but we all
must be gratified with the happy ending
of this contest, a most minimal ending of
a county seat contest. From my own
experience I know that there is nothing
that tends more to dissolve society, to
create bad blood, and to continue con-
ditions in ti county which materially de-
tract from the prosperity of the people,
keeping them in a condition where they
do not make that growth and are not
blessed with that prosperity which they
otherwise would be. Nothing tends more
to such a result than a county seat con-
test, and it is most unusual to have a con-
test waged with harmony and with such
apparently mutual good feeling ria this
one has been. I think all the people
of your county are to be congratulated.
You will find this, those of yon who do
not have county seats, that it does not
pay to wage a connty seat war with the
hope of attaining it. The results do not
warrant the bad blood that is usually
stirred up, the effort and expense and
time taken up to procure then!, even if
successful. If unsuccessful, of course,
your efforts go for nothing, and
too frequently end in a bitter-
ness and anger which will exist for
many years. It is unusual, I say, to
have a contest end in this way, in so ap-
parently pleasant a manner, and with the
mutual good feeling that this has done.
I wish to say also to the board that it is
most gratifying to ob serve a board of
county commissioners act and conduct
themselves with the judicial fairnoss
which this board has shown. It is too
often the case that the feeling that
divides the county, that causes county
seat contests and accompanies such con -
testa, gets into the board. and the mem-
bers of it actually take sides; and their
feelings prompt their decisions some-
times, but with the board before whom•
we have appeared it wonld be difficult
to say what the leanings of the board
have been or are. They have acted with
a fairness that certainly is to be com-
mended, and which it is to be hoped
will always characterize oar actions as
officials; such conduct cannot but tend
to increase the respect of the people
for their officials. It is most grati-
fying to me that this contest' has now
ended so pleasantly as it has. I think
we may all congratulate ourselves that
it has ended
so happily.
I. A. HERRICK.
I don't know whether I am strictly in
order or not, but I feel I may be expected
to say a few words. Before this matter
wise brought rip at all I had a talk with
one of the citizens of Farmington, Dr.
Sumption, in which the matter was gone
over as to the result,. that would follow
an agitation for the removal of a county
seat, raised as this one was because at
was the belief of those who were en-
gaged in
tot bet, that a put into baa newsum
building money of a
Hastings for the purpose of developing a
plan to fix the looabon of the oounty
Beet at this end of the county for the
neat fifty years. The committee which
was In o of this matter was further
persuaded that the plan by the citizens
of Hastings was Rs exactly as has been
outlined, and there were a great many
internal facts and circumstances that
such was the fact. This oontest has de-
veloped the importance on the part of
The Hampton Cyclone.
The cyclone in the southern ,part
of the county on the 3d inst. began
its destructive work on the farm of

several others. A large amount of
damage was done to buildings, trees,
and windmills, and a number of
cows, calves, and pigs were killed.

Is Your Bathroom Modern?
If it is not, don't you think itis worth your while to examine
into conditions,and remodel or rebuild it if necessary l
You cannot have too many safeguards for the health of your-
self and family, especially the growing children. Bad or antique
plumbing is as dangerous to the health as good or modern plumbing
is beneficial. Better by far to pay out money for good plumbing
than for doctor bills resulting from defective sanitary equipment.
The costof
renewing y�ur
bathroom furnish-
ings and the slight
extra expense of
obtaining the best
trill in reality be
health assurance,
as well as
a saving
1 n repair
bills.
Unquestionably the best bathroom equipment made is the
famous Vtaedope Porcelain Enameled Ware, every piece of which
is unconditionally guaranteed by the makers. We have samples in
our showrooms. A conference with us will give you much helpful
information.
SICK AND TIRED
AND WORN OUT.
Everyone experiences such a condition at this season of the year when the
system is clogged with impurities after the winter's over eating. When
the blood is thick with stagnant poisons and the stomach is too weak to
digest even ordinary food, and headaches, backaches, and boneaches,
constipation, nervous spells, and sleepless nights are making your life a
drudgery.
You Need a Tonic to Build Up Your System.
Bead these letters from folks who have suffered from this very cause and who
write public letters in order that every single person may hear of a
way to get well. A few bottles of the wonderful
COOPER'S NEW DISCOVERY
will do the same for you that it has done for these folks.
Here are their letters.

and run down system. We are still taking it

Mrs. J. H. Wilson, Birmingham, Ala.. says:

nothing seemed to help me. I heard of the re-
sults that other people had obtained from the
use of Cooper's New Discovery and began Ink-

proved and gained rapidly in strength. Now I
eat well, sleep well, and get up refreshed. i am
