SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR Jim Martin is getting a tre- mendous lot of advertising out of his resignation of that postoffice job. 3 Bovey, the hustling little Itasca county village, is to have a $10,- 000 waterworks system. Bonds were voted last week. A correspondent rushes to the wire to tell the Duluth News Tribune all about a ‘‘genuine” sea serpent at Pine River, Put out the pipe. It is said that Congressman Tawney of the First district has come out as a revisionist. Tawney has the happy faculty of getting in line with his constituents about this time every two years. In 1896, when the republicans wanted to make the tariff an issue, the democrats insisted on free silver as a campaign cry, and carried their point, too, In 1908, when, if all signs do not fail, the congressional leaders will be most desirous of avoidiag the tariff 1ssue, the democrats are likely to force it to the front, The Russian ‘“revolution” seems to be turning out a fizzle. There is this much about it, how- ever, that is encouraging. Every outbreak, even though sup- pressed, only prepares the way for another and fiercer one,” One of these days something is going |~ to break loose that all the czar’s cossacks cannot saber into sub- mission. A Wonderful Eseape, Fieschi tried to. assassinate King Louis Philippe of France in July, 1835 The king was riding along the lines of the national guard in the Boulevard du Temple. There came a crash and a rush of bullets. Louis Philippe's arm was grazed, his horse was shot in the neck, Marshal Mortier fell dead and about thirteen other people were killed and thirty wounded. Fieschi had taken the upper floors of a house several weeks before and there rigged up an oaken frame four feet by three feet six inches, supported on four posts of oak and Itself supporting twenty-five gun barrels fixed in grooves at various angles so as to command an area of twenty-five feet In length and ten feet in height. When he fired the train of powder that let off his battery the king would have been killed if four barrels bad not burst and two missed fire. Anclent Locks. Locks were used in the time of the pharaohs. At Karnak the visitor Is shown the sculptured representation of a lock which is almost exactly like one kind of lock used in Egypt at the pres- ent day. Homer says that Penelope used a brass key to open her wardrobe. He adds that it was very crooked and had an ivory handle. A Greek writer ‘who lived in the last half of the twelfth century explalns that such keys were undoubtedly very ancient, although still to be seen in Constantinople and elsewhere. Roman locks, like the Egyp- tlan, required a partial sliding of the key. They were, however, more intri- cate. Darwin and Books. Of Darwin it is affirmed that he seemed unaware of the difference in the value of books and -would treat a Zaehnsdorf binding with the same scant courtesy that he exercised to- ward a penny pamphlet. Covers ap- peared to him a useless weight and de- cldedly in the way, and he often got rid of them by ripping them off. Some- tlmes the book was borrowed. It s sald that in the end his friends used to glve him any book which he wished to borrow, for they knew that, If it ‘were ever returned, its usefulness as a book would be at an end. Have a Definite Alm, No life amounts to much until it has a programme—something definite, something particular. Nothing else can take the place of it. Education can- not, talent cannot, genius cannot, hard work cannot. Until there is a definite aim the energies will run to waste, the abllity be squandered. The faculties deteriorate when working without a definite aim. The Floor of the Pacific. The red clay which covers the deep floors of the Pacific and the Indian oceans Is made up of refuse and residue —that which can withstand the strong chemical actlon of the gases. In it may be found decomposed volcanic rock, pumice, zeolitle erystals, man- ganese oxides, meteoric iron, teeth of »sharks and ear bones of whales. Few It any shore deposits are apparent in it. The rock is vitreous refuse, belched forth by subterranean or insular vol canoes. The minerals are supposed to be of cosmic origin—planetary dust and’ meteoric fragments that have fallen into the sea and have become disinte- grated. The great quantity of sharks’ teeth remains quite unaccounted for— at least thelr apparent gathering to- gether in these ocean basins is consld- ered very strange~J. C. Van Dyke In 18 Visits to the Enrl. 2 There 18 a well known English bishop who writes a very bad hand. This bad hand' caused a sad error to happen some years ago. A young clergyman: had written to the bishop to Inquire about a vacant curncy, and the reply that the young man got Informed him that the salary was small and the work difficult. But there was one mitigating circumstance. The incumbent, among I3 e W Medlical experts are calling the a tention of the public to the Importance of performing the nose blowing opera- tion in a selentific and hyglenle manner, First one nostrll and then the other should be blown without undue vio- lence. Doctors state that the two nasal passages should never be, closed at the same time. If they are obstructed, as in the case of a cold, the back of the Attorney and Counsellor at Law "Chamberfain's | Colic, Cholera & Diarrhea Remedy dnrelinblefl:z:wdy for colic or diarthea at some time during the his other duties, would yisit the earl every morning- and spend two hours there. The curate would have rejected the post but for the dally visit to the earl. That attracted him. There would, no doubt, he told himself, be many fashionable dinners to which he wonld naturally be. Invited. He would ‘make many. friends among the rich and powerful. These friends would be able to help him in his career. The earl, perhaps, had daughters. One of them —who knows?—stranger things had happened. - And so the curate accepted the difficult and poorly paid curacy to discover on his first visit to the town that he had misread the bishop’s letter and that his dally two hours’ visit was not to the earl, but to the jail. The Fields of Pence. It was the bellef of the anclent Egyptlans, according to a recent writ: er, that everything, material and im- material, had its immortal double, Out of this grew the Idea of a life In the future state of perfect happiness In the “fields of peace.” For a long time the common people regarded these “flelds of peace” not as a celestial place, but as situated In the fertile and well watered regions of the. Nile delta in the northwest of Egypt, where the blessed ever breathed the cool north wind. Here they lived an ideal form of their life upon earth. They plowed thelr flelds and grew the grain which supplied them with the “bread which grew not stale and beer that never became sour.”” Here was situ- ated the duplicate of their earthly towns or villages, Portuguese Bullfights. At Portuguese bullfights not only are the points of the bulls' horns sawed off, but the stumps that remain are carefully padded. The horses also are ridden with consummate skill, and ev- ery precaution Is taken to prevent the bull touching them. Banderillas are used by the men on foot and on horse- back and are planted In the neck of the bull, ‘which Irritates the bull, but cannot be described as torture. Just as much skill Is shown as in a Spanish bullfight, and there may be just as beautiful a display of costumes, but there is no killing either of the bull or of the horses. Love Plants of West Indies. “Did you ever hear of the love plant?” asked a sea captain who was showing several visitors over his craft the other day. “I have several in the cabin.” He showed three small leaves at- tached to the ceiling by strings. They wera without any soil or foundation, but were green, and from each there sprouted a dozen or more little leaves, greener and fresher than the main leaf Itself. “During our last cruise in the West Indles,” the captain continued, “I vis- ited a deserted English fortress, which ‘was grown over with shrubbery. A native plucked several leaves from a vine and told me to hang them some- where and write the name of my best girl on them. ‘If they die, he said, ‘she does not love you. If they sprout, she does’ I put my wife’s name on one and my two daughters’ names on the others. You see, although they bave been without nourishment for three months, all three are sprouting well and my family’s affections seem assured.”—Philadelphia Record. Colors. ‘White is the emblem of light,. rell- glous purity, innocence, falth, joy and life. In the judge it indlcates integ- rity; in the sick, humility; In the wo- man, chastity. Red, the ruby, signifies fire, divine love and royalty. White and red roses express love and wis- dom. Blue, or the sapphire, expresses heaven, the firmament, truth from a celestial origin, constancy and fidelity. Yellow or gold is the symbol of the sun, of marrlage and faithfulness, Green, the emerald, 1s the color of spring, of hope—particularly of the hope of immortality and of victory, as the color of the laurel and palm. Vio- let, the amethyst, signifies love and truth or passion and suffering. Purple and scarlet signify things good and true from a celestial origin. Black cor- responds to despalr, darkness, earth- Hness, mourning, negatlon, wickedness and death. Peanut Trade Seorets. Some peanuts that are bought ready roasted are of a light yellow color, Others, however, are pronounced bru- mettes. There is a reason for this. The great American peanut will re- main crisp only a day or two after roasting and in damp weather only a few hours. It absorbs moisture rap- idly, so that two days after roasting the finest nuts lose their crispness and are to all intents and purposes as though they had never been cooked. The Itallan and Greek peanut men freshen up their stocks by roasting again and reroasting. When the proec- ess has been repeated three or four times, though, the peanut begins to take on a tawny hue, which 1s consid- ered objectionable by those who have stands in the better paris of town. These much roasted goobers are there- fore sold at a discount to Greeks and, Italians who have stands near railroad stations and the cheaper-resarts, who ean roast, reroast and re-rerogst them indefinitely until they are floylly sold. ~—New York Press. ¢ The Scented Court. “The scented court” was the nam by which the court of Louls-XV. was known throughout Burope, on account of the rage for perfumes which then| prevailed in France. The expenditure of Mme. de Pompadour for this one branch of her toilet amounted to $100,- 000 annually. It became the fashion for the host or hostess of a great en- tertainment to signalize to. their guests what particular perfume: was to be employed for rcenting. thetr rooms on | the night for which the Invitations | ‘were {ssued, and they were expected to use no other, so that'the dellcate effect of a unity of odors might be produced: throat Is filled with compressed air, and this, together with the discharge and the microbes which it contains, may be driven through the eustachial tube into the middle ear and lead to serlous results. A great authority on the subject used to forbid his patients to blow their noses when suffering from a cold. The course I8 hardly one which will' commend itself to those in the habit of catching colds, The best advice would seem to be that when it is necessary to blow the nose the blowing should be done gently.—London Mail, Too Lively. He was a solemn Scotchman, with an equally. solemn and somewhat down- trodden wife. The fact that they were recelving an excellent price for their “second pair front” from an American lodger did not blind them to her fail- ings. “Dear me, Mr. Macleod,” said the lodger, one Sunday afternoon, when an errand took her to the parlor, where the family sat, “I should think, you and your wife would be stifled sitting Indoors this hot day with the windows shut. If you'd just open one and get some fresh air, I'm sure it would do Mrs. Macleod good; she looks pale.” Mr. Macleod looked at her with his usual stern and unbending gaze. “We can hae fresh air ony day,” he said calmly. “We've no need to hae 1t rushing aboot the house on the Saw- bath.” Germany the Modern Rome, Let the German people keep a lesson from antiquity before their eyes. Once beforé an England and a Germany of no less different character have con- fronted each other. They were Car- thage and Rome. And old Rome with its policy of. force and power finally conquered the cash polities of Carthage and raised itself to the position of the first power upon earth. ‘We have his- torical example when we say that the German people must return from the imitation of the un-German Carthagin- 1an-British finance policy and must go back to the Roman-German policy of power and might. In no other way can a really great Weltpolitik be pro- moted in the hope perhaps of making ourgelves ultimately the leading peo- ole in the world-~Berlin Gren=boten. Inconveniently Tall. ‘The mayor of one of the communes of Augers had ordered a gamekeeper and a butcher to take a madman named Legrand to the St. Gemines lunatic asylum. On the way the gamekeeper noticed that their charge was in one of his lucid Intervals and concluded that he would never consent to be handed over to the authorities. It was decided, therefore, to make him drunk, and all three adjourned to the nearest inn. Le- grand took his liquor kindly. So did the others. And when the trio arrived at the asylum the governor could not make head or tail of their story. He therefore wired to the mayor, asking him which was the man who was to be detained. The mayor replied Le- grand, but the telegraphist spelled it in two words, “Le grand” (the tall one). The governor, on examining the three || men, saw that one was much taller than the others, so he promptly clapped him into a strait waistcoast and sent the other two away. It was three days later before the error was discovered. Bismarck Forgave. Bismarck could forgive, but he wished to do it after proper solicita- tlon. At the beginning of the Danish war Fleld Marshal Wrangel, who was at the head of the Prussian troops, was exceedingly annoyed at one point to be telegraphed not to advance farther, and he returned a message telling King Willlam that “these diplomatists who spoil the most successful opera- tions deserve the gallows.” After that Bismarck ignored him completely, and one day they met at the king’s table, where it was especlally awkward to preserve a coldness. Wrangel called everybody “du,” and presently he turned to Bismarck, who was seated next him, and sald, “My son, canst thou not forget?” “No,” was the curt reply. After a pause Wrangel began again, “My son, canst thou not for- give?” “With all my heart,” sald Bls- marck, and the breach was healed. The Redwood. 4 Redwood forests are practically un- harmed by forest fires, and it is com- mon practice for the lumbermen to fell the trees and peel the bark from them and when the dry season is on set fire to the felled timber and burn the branches and bark and other wreckage without practical Injury to the saw logs, which procedure would mean dis- dster to any other wood. Redwood contains no resin or turpentine of any kind, and, owing to its great resistant qualities in severe climatic conditions, is free from cracking or decay, where cinders might lodge and start fires. ‘When burn’ng, it is easily extinguished | with a small quantity of water. It has the appearance of burnt cork and is harder to ignite a second time than at first.—Sclentific American. Paris’ Secondhand Market. There s a curious old market near Paris in which everything 1s sold at second hand. Working girls can fit themselves out there from head to foot. (As a writer says, “Mimi can sell her, old felt hat and buy a straw one, ex- change her old dress for a new one and, if she likes, buy a steak and a ealad for her dinner, a paper bag of fried potatoes, sweets and some flow- ers for her window.
