Prospectors have been viewing the assumed ore land near St. Cloud, and the sinking of test wells is in prospect. The belief will not down that there is iron through all this northern country, and there are numerous indications of it; enough to keep the belief alive, In this county there is something of an ore fever over the finding of excellent samples at Kelliher, where drilling has been under way, and in this city there wasa slight flutter recently over the discovery of a small vein of iron ore. None of these discoveries yet are such as to warrant excite- ment, but they all seem to point to the locating of the ore in pay- ing quantities sometime, some- where hereabouts. WHAT IT MEANS. We wonder if all of our readers realize the importance of the recent visit to this section of the state of the twin city and Duluth business men and several pro- minent legislators from the southern part of the state. The junket should be a memorable one in the annals of the northern part of Minnesota, for it is one of a series of events which for a long time have been leading up to what we want most up here— drainage. This trip hasa double signifi- cance; it shows a changing senti- ment in the cities and in the south generally, and the dis- coveries the party has made will help greatly in changing the sentiment still more. The men who were in the party were either members of the legislature, orrepresentatives of the commercial clubs of Minneapolis, St Paul or Duluth. These organizations, represent- ing the business interests of the big cities, had heard much of the productiveness of northern Minnesota; they had heard that there were millions of acres of swamp land up here belonging to the state, which, if drained, would become as fruitful as any land in the state. But they had never seen the country and had yet to be convinced. So the commercial bodies decided to send leading members on a trip of investigation. They. came, they saw, they were conquered. The wonderful fer- tility of the soil amazed them; they viewed grain as good and better than any grown in the richest sonthern counties, and vegetables that for size and quality cannot be beatanywhere. It was a revelation to the men from the older country. These investigators have now gone home convinced that this northern country, this land of swamps, if you please, is worth saving, and when the legislature meets again the commercial interests of the twin cities will be united with the wnorthern legislators in demanding that the state drain its swamp lands. White Animals Can’t Smell, “Pure white animals,” said a pet stock dealer, “have no sense of smell. Hence they are continually eating things that disagree with them, and in elght cases out of ten poison them- selves and die. Pure white pigs should never be allowed to run loose In the flelds and woods. For, without the protection of a sense of smell, such pigs, when they get out, eat all sorts of polsonous roots and berries and dle off rapidly. “In Africa the white rhi- noceros polsons Itself by eating the euphorbia, and pure white sheep are difficult to rear because they are con- tinually munching shrubs and grasses that don't agree with them.” Our Volces Deepen. The primitive inhabitants of Europe were all tenors; their descendants of the present time are baritones, and fu- ture generations will have semibass volces. The volce has a tendency to deepen with age. The tenor of twenty becomes the baritone of twenty-elght and the bass of thirty-six. The inferior races have higher pitched volces than the more cultured. The negro has a higher voice than the white man. Among white races, the falr complex- loned man has a higher voice than his darker skinner brother, The former s usually a baritone or a tenor, the latter & contralto or buss. It s asserted that tenors are usually of slender build, ‘Whereas basses are stout, but there are too many exceptions to such a rule for 1t to be rellable, The same remark ap- plies to the statement that thoughtful men have deep toned volces and vice versa, The tones of a voice are per- ceptibly higher before than after a meal, for which reason tenors are gen- erally careful not to sing too soon after dinner.—Pearson’s Weekly. Henry Clay’s Popularity. The greatest popular idol in & po- litical sense the country has ever known was Henry Clay. Only one other American statesman ever pos- sessed the quality called personal mag- netism to the same extent that he did, and no other ever had a more enthusi- astic personal following. He was an aspirant for president from 1824 to 1848, but never reached the goal. He recelved 37 electoral votes In 1824, 49 In 1832 and 105 in 1844, but never enough to elect him. Clay was elected speaker of the house of representatives on the first day of his term in that body and was five times re-elected. He was twice elected United States-sena- tor, once unanimously by the Kentucky legislature, and held several other high offices. If there was ever a popular idol in the politics of this country, It was Henry Clay, but he could not be elected president.—Indianapolis Jour- nal, The 0ld Plane Tree of Cos. In the island of Cos, in the ZEgian sea, there stands, jealously guarded, a huge plane tree measuring nearly eight- een yards in circumference. It is sur- rounded by a podium, or raised plat- form breast high, doubtless built to support the trunk of the tree after it had become hollow and weak from age. The lower branches are still well pre- served and have been shored up by pleces of antique columns, over the up- per ends of which the branches have grown like caps in consequence of the pressure of their own weight. Close by the tree is a solid marble seat, which is said to be the chair of Hippocrates, the father of medicine, and it is supposed that he taught the art of healing from that seat. He was born at Cos 460 B. C. This gives a clew to the age of the celebrated plane tree, which must be considerably more than 2,000 years old. This Pecaliar World. ‘This is a peculiar world, says an ex- change. One is struggling for justice and another is fleeing from it. One man is saving to build a house and an other Is trying to sell his for less thau cost to get rid of it. One man is spend- ing all the money he can make in tak- Ing a girl to the theater and sending her flowers, with thé hope of making her his wife, while his neighbor Is spending what gold he has.in getting a divorce. One man escapes all the dis- eases that flesh is heir to and gets kili- ed on a railroad. Another escapes with a scratch and dies with the whooping cough. One man stands off his credi- tors and goes traveling while another pays his debts and stays at home. Consoling, A New England congressman once went to Franklin Pierce demanding an office for a constituent. Pierce sent him to James Guthrie, secretary of the treasury. By and by the congress- man returned to the president in great dudgeon. “What did Guthrie say to you about appointing your friend?” Inquired the president. “He said he would be hang- ed if he would.” “Did Guthrle talk that way to you?’ “He did.” “Well, that’s the way he talks to me, too,” was Pierce’s consoling reply. Golt or Croquet? It was a twosome. The player who drove off first had bandy legs. The sec- ond In driving off did not notice that his opponent had got in front of him and the ball ran through between the opponent’s legs. Turning around in anger the bandy legged one said, “Here, mun, that's no golf!” “Weel,” said the other, “If It's not golf It's croquet.”— Scottish Referee. An Inch or So Below. “It's funny,” began the long winded bore, “but nobody ever seems glad to see me.” “Well, and have you never found out the cause of your unpopularity ?” “No, I can’t discover it.” - “That’s strange, because It's righ under your very nose.”—Philadelphia Press. A Contingency. “Haven't I a right to do as I like with my money?’ inquired the multi- millionaire. “You have,” answered the sardonic person, “if your .lawyer is smart enough to draw up a will that can't be contested.”—Washington Star. A Restless Patch of Earth. There 18, near to the Thuringen sum- mer resort, Traunsee, a curious and locally celebrated phenomenon—name- ly, the floating island which. disports itgelf at will, now at this and now on that side of the Hautsee, a small and charmingly situated lake. The little island also has its own flora, varying from that on the immediately adjacent mainland, among which may be men- tioned the “meat consuming” Drosera rotundifolia, while flowers and edible berries grow here in rank profusion and slender birches cast their shade over those who care to land and in- vestigate this restless little patch of earth. Birds are especially partial to this spot, wild ducks and other aquatic birds breeding here in great numbers. But the great event of the year is the “Volksfest” held upon the island ev- ery: Ascension day, when dancing and “bratwurst'eating,” washed down by therobligatory beer, is'the order of the day.~Pall Mall Gazette, © . 'The End ot Books, Is it five, water, worms? A8 every ship launched Is bound to be wrecked, every theater to be burned, the finis of the book Is its reduction to ashes, What became of the Alexandrian li- brary? DId the Saracens burn It in 040? There s this question asked: ‘Was there any llbrary at Alexandria containing 700,000 hooks? Gibbon In- clines to the opinion that there was no such library. Canon Taylor Ingists that It there had been a library it was burn- ed In the time of Jullus Caesar. Tra- dition seems to Indicate, however, that there was a library In the serapeum, by no means a large collection, but whether destroyed by Theophilus or Theodoslus, Is not known. It looks as 1f the charge brought against the Arabs rested on no foundation. Explorations of Alexandria In 1895-96 show no traces of the serapeum. The seaport of Bgypt wag built on a damp foundation, and granting that there was a library, it not destroped by fire, then the papyri might have suffered from decay due te water, Books of today taken to Indla, to the southern states and to the West Indies perish through mildew. Robinson Crusoe. The second volume of “Robinson Crusoe,” by Daniel De Foe, published on Aug. 20, 1719, was the first story pub- lished in England with illustrations. The illustrations consisted of a map of the world, in which the different voyages of the hero of the tale were delineated.

That was a long while ago, but the fame of M. Veritan’s gigantic harp was such that it is still occasionally mentioned by writers on the rare and the wonderful, just as the sea serpent, bloody rain, -live mastodons, etc., are. M. Veritan's colossal musical instru- ment was 320 feet in length, and, on that account, was constructed in an open lot instead of in a harp factory.
