If so you can hardly get along without Spoons, Knives and Forks. The silver plated are, without a doubt, the most eco- nomical; they wear well; they look better and cost very little more than the ordinary kinds. Your sideboard. is hardly com- plete without a silver tea set; silver cake and fruit haskets should also be placed there. The necessary things in cut glass are the: decanter, berry bowl and the celery dish. CALL AND INSPEGT OUR LINE (ON TIME) GED. T. BAKER & COMP'Y LOCATED IN CITY DRUG STORE.

Minn., as second class matter, SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM Congressman McCleary is said to have persuaded ‘‘Icicle” Fairbanks to come to his aid _in| the Second district in an effort to ward off the threatened Novem. ber frost. It sounds like a joke. The Grand Rapids Herald-Re- view has installed » new cylinder press and'a gasoline engine, and the paper is much improved in appearance in consequence. Editor Kiley is a hustler and de- serves success. John W. Johnson 1s getting more free advertising out of the scrap over trickery charges be tween the two big candidates and their friends than he ever dreamed of, probably, in bis most sanguine moments. Our old friend H. G. Hays, who seems to have had to 2o to work since he lost his drainage league job, turns up as the publisher of a paper at Long Lake, a village near Lake Minnetonka. Volume 1, Number 1 is at hand. The champion Chicago Ameri- cans and the champion Chicago Nationals are battling for the championship of the baseball world.. What a paradise for the Chicago fan; he can holler him- self hoarse whichever team wins. The action of the Methodist conference in returning Rev. Mr. Peart to Bemidji will meet with the warm approval not only of his church, but outside. Mr. Peart is an able and conscienti ous minister, and has the faculty, which unhappily not all members of the Cloth possess, of making himself a popular force for good outside of his church members and congregation. NO TRICK ABOUT IT. As was expected, Mr. Cole and his managers have been able t: prove their entire innocence of the charge of haviug induced John W. Johnson to file as a can- didate for governor on the social- ist-labor ticket. Dr. Cole, as chairman of the central committee, has issued a statement denying the charge most emphatically and offering to stand half the expense of send- ing out letters to the voters of the state explaining who the different candidates were. Not only that, but John W, Johnson, himself, has been inter- viewed and has explained that he was nominated by a referendum vote of his party last July, but that the law required him to se- cure a petition, and would not allow him to file it until after the primaries. As to the charge that he is, or was, an obscure man, he answers that he has been for several years secretary of the socialist-labor organization, and doubtless is better known to his party than anyother man in the party. The democrats are making a great noise over the alleged trick, hoping by a plentiful use of hot air to inflate the charge to the dignity of a campaign issue. But Mr. Day might as well spare his lungs; the balloon has been punctured, DEMOCRATIC FOOLISHNESS. About the silliest argument against Mr. Cole that has been advanced in this campaign, is ‘that he is doing Northern Minne- sota & grievous injury by so ‘widely advertising the need of drainage. The Red Lake Courier makes the charges and sputters and. fumes in pretended indigna- tion in so doing. Cole is giving the impression all over the Northwest, declares the Courier, that Northern Min- nesota is one vast quagmrire and that settlers are leaving the country in large numbers be- cause drainage plans are not adopted, Then, as a grand climax, the Courier predicts that it will take years of work to oyer- | come the evil effects of thigagita- tion, ‘Doesn’t ' that nd like & typical democratia ‘reument? N rthern Minnesota is not o e vast swamp, of course not; but it does need drainage before it can become a prosperous agricultur- al cou: try, and what is the use of making any bones about it. The Courier would not call a doctor when sick for fear the ailment might get noised among the neighbors. Neighbors be hanged! it is a cure we areafter, Mr. Cole’s agitation for drain- age will result in appropriations by the next legislature for drain- ing state swamp lands, and once fairly started, the movement will go forward by itself. How Bees Gather Money. A bee gathers honey by the ald of its “trunk,” “lower lip” or “tongue,” which Is used as an Instrument for ex- tracting the nectar from flowers. The “tongue” of a bee is not, as was once thought to be the case, a tube through which the juice is sucked, but is bullt more after the fashion of a fine broom. ‘With this broom the bee brushes or laps the honey or loney material from the flowers, leaves, etc., and passes it down a groove in the upper surface of the tongue to the mouth proper. From that point the juice Is conveyed through a minute orifice into the “first stomach,” vulgarly called the “honey bag.” The honey bag is a real chem- leal laboratory, where by some myste- rious proc which has not yet been explained by science the juices are eonverted into pure honey. When the chemical process of transforming the nectar into viscid honey has been com- pleted the bee disgorges it into one of the cells made for the purpose of a re- ceptacle. For years the microscopists and the entomologists have been study- ‘ng the bee's laboratory, but its work- @gs are at present among the unex- plained mysteries. Petroleum. The first mention of petroleum in America was made by Father De la Roche d’Allien, a Franciscan, in 1620, It may be a surprise to many people to know that both the product itself and the names petrol and petroleum were familiar at least as far back as the middle of the fourteenth century. In the Sloane manuscript (fifteenth century) mention is made both of rock oil and of the correct derivation of the name, which is mediaeval Latin and of course has nothing to do with Peter: “Petroleum, oleum est factum de petra. G(allice), petroille” (“Petroleum is an oll made from rock—in French, pe- troille.””) The property of drawing fire had struck the imagination long before the work quoted in “Nature” ‘was published. In 1596 Lodge used It In a metaphor: “As the clay petrol draweth fire, so the looks do gather affection.” The word petrol (or petreol) disappeared from English and did not return’ until the days of the motor car industry, when it was reintroduced from the French in the sense of refined petroleum. They Joined Hands. Mr. Rhodes once told a circle of friends after dinner the story of his first meeting with Beit. “I called at Porges’ late one evening,” he said, “and there was Beit working away as usual. ‘Do you never take a rest? I asked. ‘Not often,’ he replied. ‘Well, what's your game? said I. ‘I am going to control the whole dlamond output be- fore I am much older, he answered as he got off his stool. ‘That’s funny,’ I said. ‘I have made up my mind to do the same. We had better join hands.’” Join hands they did. Unlike Alfred Beit, Cecil Rhodes had small patience with arithmetical details. Once this characteristic involved him In a difficulty. Pitching a balance sheet into the pile of papers before Beit, he e: imed desperately, “Here, you understand things. For heaven’s sake tell me how I stand.” Butterfiles That Live on Fish. The butterfly was blue and transpar- ent. As through blue glass its tiny heart could be seen beating Inside its body, and the professor read a news- paper article through Its lovely blue wings. “This,” he said, “Is the ptero- poda, a Mediterranean butterfly. It eats fish. On its tongue are rows of pointed hooks. They serve as teeth. This beautiful creature would turn up Its nose at a garden of roses and lilies, but it would feast ecstatically upon a putrid eel. Now and then a pteropoda is found on the Florida or the Califor- nia coast. It is only abundant, though, in the Mediterranean.” The Power of ition. “The power of intuition usually spok- en of as being so mysterious is really not 8o at all,” said a woman recently. “It 1s merely the ordinary method of reasoning from observation intensified. The so called intuitional person differs from the one. of more commonplace powers In possessing a keener sensi- tiveness to facts. She or he, for it is absurd to assert that this power is ex- clusively feminine, observes a thou- sand things that persons of duller sense fall to see and that are beyond the con- trol of the most skillful actor.”"—New York Tribune. : Duels With Pistols. Discussing pistols as dueling weap- ons, the Paris Figaro sought the views of a man who had the reputation of an expert on the field of honor. He at once began to rail at duels with pistols. He could not bear even to speak of them. The fact was that he had once himself at an encounter of that kind received a ball in the shoulder. “Then you disapprove of them simply because you were defeated?” 2 “Why, I was not defeated.” “What!"" “No; I was a second. You may well believe that I promised myself never to mix again in affairs of that sort. However, one day I'had to accompany a friend on the field. ‘He had asked it of me as & personal favor. I could not refuse. But I insigted upon one con- dition.” “What was that?” & “That 1 should climb a tree during the firing,” “A good scheme.” “You think s0? Well, I was wounded again. My friend fired in the alrl” PENX PUBLICITY THE BEST A GUARANTY OF MERIT, When the maker of a medicine, sold through drulsglm for family use, takes his patients fully into his confidence by frankly apd fear enl'y‘ g:’blllhlnx ‘broad- cast a8 well as on 1 ttle wrappers, a full list of all its ingredients in plain lish, this action on his part {s the doolslble evidence ' that he is not afraid to have the search light of inves- tigation turned full upon his formula and that it will bear the fullest scrutiny and_the most thorough lnvesu?.tlon.

The human body is an epitome in na- ture of all mechanies, all hydraulics, all architecture, all machinery of every kind. There are more than 310 mechan- ieal movements known to mechanics today, and all of these are but modifi- cations of those found iu tbe human body. Here are found all the bars, levers, joints, pulleys, pumps, pipes, wheels and axles, ball and socket movements, heams, girders, trusses, buffers, arches, columns, cables and supports known to science. At every point man’s best mechanical work can be shown to be but adaptations of processes of the human body, a revela- tlon of first principles used in nature. Stilt Marks on China. Hunting for stilt marks on old china 1s often good fun in itself. Almost ev- ery old piece of flatware—i. e., plates, platters, saucers, etc.—shows three lit- tle rough spots more or less-clearly marked on both sides, usually on the margin. These spots were made in the firing by the cockspur of stilts, the lit- tle tripods used between the plates in piling them up in the kiln. The three points where the cockspur touched the plate caused a defect in-the glaze. Un- fortunately stilt marks are not as sure a guarantee of authenticity as some collectors have supposed, for they are not only easy to imitate, but they are sometimes imperceptible on the old Staffordshire. Furthermore, they ap- pear very frequently on modern table- ‘ware of the cheaper sort and so are no sign of antiquity.—Country Life In America. ramous mang us. Og, the famous king of Bashan, men- tioned in Deuteronomy, had a bedstead nine cubits long, or about sixteen and a half feet. It is doubtful whether Og himself was of the full length of his bedstead. Many bones of reputed glants have been found in different countries of the world, and uninformed people hastily concluded that the men to whom these bones were supposed to have belonged must have been from fifteen to thirty feet in height. All such remains have been proved to be those of the gigantic animals existing in a former era of t:e world's history. | PLUMBINGT TIN AND RE- PAIR WORK. services on the shortest notice. Doran Bros.
