The Crookston Times lays the defeat of its ball team by Be- midji last Sunday to the tiresome journey from their city to this. Something was the matter, al- right, but to the fan it didn’t look so much like a ninety-mile journey as a plain case of being out-classed.

One of nature’s true wonders—one upon which much has been written, but which is yet not understood when Its varied phenomena are considered-- is the desert mirage. Travelers in the arid regions of the western -and south- western United States tell wondrous tales concerning the spectral pictures -| which the desert mirage has presented for their inspection. Cool sheets of wa ter and wuving trees and grassy swards appear where all is known to be parched carth and burning sands. Occasionally a mountain range will ap- pear on what is known to be a bound- less stretch of level plain, or a herd of deer, cattle or other animals will be seen apparently contentediy grazag on the glassy surface of the aimos- phere. Cities are occasion: seen hundreds of miles from civilization, and phantom ships have been known to loom up against the sky and appear as real vessels to persons who lived so far away frown the waters that they had never taken the trouble to visit the seacoast and who had never scen a8 real ship. The explanution of the mirage, as usually given, is as foilows: The sand, being intensely hot, causes the layers of air which rest upon it to become greatly rarefied, and under cer- tain circumstances this layer is guite distinet from the denser stratum a few inches or feet above it—just as if it were a sheet of water upon which oil rested. It is this rarefied stratum of air which acts as a reflector and pie- tures to the eye those curious inverted images. Sure Thing. Teacher—A miracle is going against the natural order of things. Are mira- cles performed today? Bright Boy— Yes'm. Teacher—Name one. Bright Boy—Well, mamma says that papa is always turning night into day.—Life. Improves the flavor and addsto thehealth- fulness of the food. A Good Dog. It is related by Professor Bell that when a friend of his was traveling abroad he one morning took out his purse to see if it contained sufficient change for a day’s jaunt he Intended making. He departed from his lodg. ings, leaving a trusted dog behind. ‘When he dined he took out his purse to pay and found he had lost a gold coin from it. On returning home in the evening his servant informed him that the dog seemed very lll, as they could not induce him to eat anything. He went at once to his favorite, and as soon as he entered the room the faith- ful creature ran to him, deposited the gold coin at his feet and then devoured the food placed for him with great eagerness. The truth was that the gentleman had dropped the coin in the morning. The dog had picked it up and kept it ia his mouth, fearing even to eat lest he should lose his master’s property before an opportunity was af- forded him' to restore it—Chambers® Journal. Origin of Crescent Bread. The origin of the Viennese bread shaped like a crescent, which is found In most places on the continent, dates back to the time when the Austrian capital was being besieged by the Turks under the terrible Grand Vizier Kara Mustapha, and as they failed to take the city by assault they decided to dig a passage under the walls and 80 penetrate into the town. In the day- time the noise of the siege made the sound of the tunneling inaudible, and at mghttime the defenders of the place were asleep, all but the sentrles and the bakers. It was the bakers who, as they baked the bread for the garrison, heard the pickaxes of the miners coming nearer and nearer and gave the alarm. In the fighting the Bakers' association took their share with the utmost bravery, and as a re- ward for their services the emperor gave them permission to make a spe- cial cake shaped like the Turkish cres- cent.—London Sketch. Once a Nest ot Plrates. Lundy, in the Bristol channel, is an island where one may see an earth- quake at any time. There is nothing alarming about these ‘“earthquakes,” however. They are simply certain cu- rious crevasses in the west of the Is- land, which the local people call by that name. Lundy in former centuries was a notorious nest of pirates. In King Henry IIL's time Willlam de Marisco, a traitor to the king, built a castle there and set up as an early Captain Kidd. And so it went on through the centuries until In the mid- dle of the eighteenth Thomas Benson, a Barnstable merchant, who was then lessee of the island, was convicted of piracy and smuggling and expelled. He had a contract for carrying con- victs to the American colonies and used quietly to land them on Lundy and use their labor there. The Nine In the Calendar. The figure 9, which came into the calendar on Jan, 1, 1889, will stay with us 111 years from that date, or until Dec. 31, 1999, No other figure has ever bad such a long consecutive run, and the 9 itself has only once before been in a race which lasted over a century— that in which it continuously figured from Jan. 1, 889, until Dec. 81, 999, a period of 111 years. The figures 3 and T occasionally fall into odd combina- tlons, but neither of them has ever yet gerved for a longer period than 100 consecutive years in our calendar since the present mode of calculating time was established. It is also clear that from thelr relative positions among the numerals it Is an impossibility for either of them to appear in date reck- onings continuously for a longer period than a century. - Business Methods. Great numbers of vast fortunes in this country have been and are being built up on the very ignorance of the masses In regard to business methods. The schemers bank on It that it is easy to swindle people who do not know how to protect their property. They thrive on the ignorance of their fellows. They know that a shrewd ad- vertlsement, a cunningly worded cir- cular, a hypnotic appeal, will bring the hard earnings of these unsuspect- Iny people out of hiding places Into their own coffers.—Success Magazine. ‘Where Christlanity Began. The hills of Bethlehem are full of caves, natural and artificial, and many of them have historie signifi- cance. There is the milk grotto, in which Joseph and Mary are said to have concealed themselves before their flight into Eyypt to escape the evil de- signs of Hered. The snowy whiteness of the soft chalk out of which it is hewn is ascribed to the spilling of a few drops of the Virgin’s milk when she nursed the infant Jesus. Another grot- to is pointed out as that in which' St. Jerome for mere than thirty years led the life of a hermit when bitter fac- tional dissensions had forced him to leave Rome. On a western hill a rock strewn plateau, around which stately terebinths stand guard, marks a place where the anclent Hebrews brought their sacrifices unto the Lord. It is a solemn place, well fitted to excite de- vout thoughts—a place where a maa might well keep communion with his Maker, In its broader features Bethle- hem is almost unchanged since the days of David.—Four Track News. Vegetable Rennets. Those who would like ‘o make cheese on-a very small scale are often trou- bled to get proper rennet to produce coagulation of the milk. A sciertist says that if the leaves of the common butterwort are placed in a strainer and the milk fresh from the cow is poured over it the milk will soon become thick and has a most delicious flavor. The yellow bedstraw also possesses the properties of curdling milk, and the natives of Cheshire prefer it as a ren- net to all other sorts. The leaves and fowers are put In the strainer, and the milk s slowly poured over them. The flower heads of the garden artichoke also possess the property of coagzulat- ing milk. In view of the carelessness sometimes noted in people who prepare rennet In the ordinary fashion this vegetable rennet is worthy of atten- tion. The leaves, properly cleaned and prepared, would be very much safer and more hygienic than animal sub- stances which may go through chem- feal changes flm‘ unfit them for food. ! T A Valuable Agent. ‘The glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce’s medicines greatly enhances the medi- cinal properties which it extracts and holds in solution much better than alco- hol would. It also possesses medicinal gmpmles of its own, being a vainable lemulcent, nutritive, antiseptic. and anti- ferment. It adds greatly to the efficacs of the Black Cherrybark, ‘Golden Seal root, Stone root and Queen’s root, con- tained in *Golden Medical Discovery” in subduing chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial, throat and lung affections, for all of which these agents are recom- mended by standard medica] authorities. In all cases where there is a wastin, away of flesh, loss of np%eme, Wi ‘weak stomach, as in the early stages of consumption, there can be no doubt that gls;:erlne acts as a valuable nutritive and aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root, Queen’s root and Black Cherrybark in promoting digestion and building up tho lesh and strength, controlling the cough and bringing about a healthy condition of the whole system. Of course, it must not; be expected to work miracles. It wil et cure consumption except in its earlier stages. It will cure very severe, obstin- ate, chronic coughs, bronchial and laryn- gea\ troubles, ard_chronic sore . throat with hoarseness. In acute conghs it is not so effective. It:is in the. lingering coughs, or those of long standing, even when aaoomga.nied by bleeding from lungs, that it has performed its most marvelous cures.
