When his first child was born his mother-in- law devoted all her attention to the baby and, it is said, greatly annoyed Fleet by her persistent and not par- ticularly musical chanting of the old English ditties she had heard in her childhood. The idea occurred to Fleet of writing down these songs and pub- lshing them [n book form. The old- est extant copy bears the date of 1719, The price marked on the title page was “two coppers.” This account of the origin of Mother Goose is discred- ited by some critics, who declare that In 1697 Perrault published “Contes de ma Mere I'Oye,” or “Stories of Mother Goose.” The name Mother Goose was familiar in French folklore, being used tury before the time of Perrault. The Status of a Meteorlte. A meteorite fell on a Vermont farm In 1896. It was a valuable meteorite, and the landlord at once stepped up and claimed it. “All minerals and metals on the land belong to me,” he said. “That’s in the lease.” But the tenant demurred. “This me- teorite,” he sald, “wasn’t on the farm, you must remember, when the lease ‘was drawn up.” The landlord perceived the justice of that claim. He thought a moment. Then he said declsively, “I claim her as flying game.” But the tenant was ready for him. “She’s got neither wings nor feathers,” he sald. “Therefore, as ground game, she’s mine.” They continued their argument, and in the heat of It a revenue officer, ar- rlving with a truck, proceeded to put the meteorite aboard. “I clalm her for the government,” he said, “as an artlcle introduced Into the country without payment of duty.” A Hotel Experience, One fashionable hotel on Fifth ave- nue refuses to give any receipt for jewelry deposited in fts safe or hold Itself responsible for a greater amount than $250. Its explanation of this rule 1s based on an experience which seems excuse enough. Two guests of the hotel kept their valuables and money In the safe. They left them there ‘when they went -abroad, sometimes to stay for six months. Once the wifo came back alone and drew out all the money and valuables. ' As she had of- ten done so before the clerks gave the box to her as a matter of course, It ‘was not until her husband had return- ed and wanted the same valuables that the hotel knew of their divorce, The husband brought suit and recovered all he claimed. Since that result of its confidence In its guests the hotel has limited its responsibility to $250.—New York Sun, The Irascible Bismarciks. Herbert Bismarck had none of his father’s bright wit in conversation, but had his overbearing temper and his mother’s violent irascibility. She had the disposition of the Frankish woman as exemplified in Fredegonda, hut beld in check by modern conditions. Bis- marck in anger was as terrible as a ferocious mastiff. She, far from re. straining him, kept on saying: “Good dog; tss-s-ss. Go at him (or at her); 300d dog, tss-s-ss,” or tantamount words. The mastiff that lay below the sarface in Bismarck grew more and more Infuriated, especially if the even- Ing before he had eaten and drunk co- piously. With these parents, Herbert, Jane and Bill Bismarck could not be expected to have courteous manners, some cruising, also their brother, Frank, Dr. G. A. Christenson of Cass Lake came in yesterday evening from Pequot, where he had been conducting Norwegian Lutheran services and also looking after some business matters. He re- turned to his home at Cass Lake on the night train, Leigh LeGore came down this morning from Kelliher, where he has been in the employ of Ross & Ross, asclerk in their camps. He has severed his con- nection with Ross & Ross and entered the employ of O’Neil & Irvine at Northome, as clerk. Arthur Flatner, for several years pharmacist at Barker’s drug store, but who is now con- ducting a drug establishment at Velva, N, D,, visited with old friends in the city yester- day. Art had been at Morris, Minn., spending several days with his parents and stopped in Bemidji, on his way to Velva, to renew his acquaintance with his former companions here. He leit last evening for his home. The Art of the Parasol. A well adjusted parasol enables you to hide blushes you don’t want people to see and to hide the blushes that aren’t there if you want people to think they are, and it enables you to cut people who deserve to be cut and to avold people whom you daren’t cut, but whom you particularly don’t want to see—“The World and His Wife.” Shaving. The earliest known mention of shav- ing is in the Bible (Genesis xliv, 14) “And he (Joseph) shaved himself and came before Pharaoh.” Shaving the beard was Introduced by the Romans about 800 B.

The American boy is thoroughly {m- bued with the get-rich-quick spirit, whether in a greater or lesser degree, The learning of a trade is too slow, too tedious and offers too little immedi- ate inducement. Why should he work 88 an apprentice at 4 to 8 cents an hour after reaching the age of seven- teen or elghteen when he can earn 10 to 15 cents at piecework running a ma chine? Once he has entered the door of the pleceworlk shop the boy Is doom- ed to the pieceworker’s life. Once the machine gets its grip upon him he nev- er escapes. The rare exception only proves the rule. Not ‘only does the monotony of the reduplicative work upon which he enters choke his ambi- tion and devitalize his life, but usually he enters upon this narrow life work with very little equipment and a view bounded by a horizon equally narrow. There is little to develop, even when there is some ambition to begin with.— 0. M. Becker in Englneering Magazine. _Seven In the Bible. The number seven plays a prominent part In events in the Bible. The crea- tlon took six days, and on the seventh there was rest. On the seventh day of the seventh month a holy observance was ordained, and the Israelites feast- ed seven days and rested seven days. Noah had seven days’ warning of the flood, and the seven years of plenty were foretold in Pharaoh’s dream by seven fat beasts, as were the seven years by seven lean beasts. We speak of the seven heavens, and the seventh son was supposed to be endowed with pre-eminent wisdom. In short, there is no other number which enters into the Bible so often as seven. No doubt the wide popularity of the number and the superstitions which are connected with 1t came from its wide use in the Bible The Father of All Novels. A great branch of literature, un- doubtedly the taost widely popular and one in which England showed the way | to the world, Is the novel. In the year 1740 readers were delighted with a new kind of book, a prose roraance not of legend, but of their own day and manners. It was the pioneer| novel, was called “Pamela,” the work by writers of this literature over a cen- | | tlans who would do far better to save anteed. Box 233, Bemidjl, Minn, T. SYMINGTON of 8amuel Richardson, a London print: el the great success it met with rought forth a host of others, Hard Water. : A farm woman in Pennsylvania once . 8aid to me, “I never hear any one sing ‘The Old Oaken Bucket'" without a shudder.” ~For fificen years she had done the cooking and washing for a family of six with 1o other water sup- ply than what she had hauled out of a well nearly thirty feet deep by means of a bucket. Baths in winter were al- most out of the question, and even in the summer they were regarded as an occasion of more than ordinary impor- tance, for which preparations had to be made hours ahead of the great event. A cublc foot of water weighs sixty-two and a half pounds, and in all these years the number of tons this woman had lifted had made poet- lcal allusions to “iron bound” and “moss covered” buckets a good deal like saying “vope” to a man about to be hanged.—Farming. Johnson on Actors. Although he wrote plays, Johnson claimed not to be fond of players. ‘When Boswell suggested that we might respect a great actor Johnson cried: “What, sir, a fellow who claps a hump on his back and a bump on his legs and cries, ‘I am Richard III? Nay, sir; a ballad singer Is a higher man.” No doubt Boswell had GarHck in mind when, after hearing Johnson say that he looked on players as no better than dancing dogs, he timldly suggested, “But, slr, you will allow that some players are better than others.” “Yes, slr, as some dogs ‘dance better than others.” A Black Mast, Most trading steamers which wish to study economy and effect have thelr aft mast painted black. If they did not the mast would soon be sullled by smoke and would look very dirty In consequence. The smoke from the vessel's funnel is carried backward by the forward motlon of the vessel, and the mast would look grimy if it was painted any other color than black. Let Him Right In. A minister, addressing a meeting of the London Bible soclety, of which the Marquis of Anglesey was president, sald that St. Peter refused to admit the marquis as a peer or as Welling- ton’s old officer or lord lieutenant of Ireland or the leader of the Horse guards at Waterloo, but let him right In as soon as he knew that he was president of the Bible society. Be First In Attack. An old Scotch drillmaster, so the story goes, taught his pupils the art of thrusting with the saber. until they were quite proficient. “Now teach us to parry,” said they. “Oh,” said he, “you must do the thrusting and let your enemy do the parrying.” Soap as a Medicine. “When I was a boy,” said the old tman, “they often made me take a little soap as a medicine. It did me good. “Soap ‘was prescribed in the village for cramps, for sick headache, for a half dozen complaints. The people ad- mitted that It was a nauseous dose, but on the other hand they pointed to its efficacy. “When I was taken down my mother would cut from the cake of yellow soap in the kitchen a chunk about as big as a chestnut.” * ‘Now, sonny,” she would szy, ‘swal- ler this,” and she’d hold the yellow mor- sel in thumb and forefinger close to my lips. “I’d begin to whimper. The smell of it and the idea of the lather that would form in my mouth—the lather I'd have to swallow—would fill me with despair. But my mother was inexorable. With stiff lips I'd take the soap into my mouth, I'd chew the soft and slippery stuff a little and then, with a groar and a dreadful gulp, I'd swallow it Horrors! “Horrors!” said the old man, smiling. “I can still taste those doses of soap that were so common in the village in my boyhood. Jewish Thrift. The Aligemeine Rundscau, Vienna, in an article on the Jewish question and anti-Semitism, has this to say as to Jewish thrift: “If we could only in- duce our own lower class to acquire the Jew’s thrift, his industry, his sense of order, his scrupulous exactitude, hie religious loyalty and love for his fam- ily the Yew on his darker side would appear far less dangerous to them than is at present the case. If one Sunday, by way of interesting experiment, one were to conduct an inquiry into the statlon, wealth and religion of visitors to the various public houses, the fol- lowing result would transpire: A large number of the guests would be Chris- than spend their money in alcoholic re- freshments, gaming and tobacco. There might be a few Jews, but at the most they would content themselves with a cup of coffee.” An Ancient Hebrew Bible. The highest amount ever offered for a single volume was tendered by a number of wealthy Jewish merchants of Venice to Pope Julfus IL for a very ancient Hebrew Bible. It was then be- lieved to be an original copy of the Sepluagint version made from the He- brew into Greek in 277 B. C,, careful coples of the Hebrew text having been prepared at that date for the use of the seventy translators. The offer to Jullus was £20,000, which, considering the difference between the value of money then and now, would in our day represent the princely sum of $600,000. Julius was at that time greatly pressed. for money to malintain the holy league ‘which the pope had organized against France, but in spite of his lack of funds he declined the offer.

A clergyman was railing against al vorce. “We ought to have the divorce law that was enforced in anclent Greece,” he said. “If that old Greek clause was tacked to every separation, I am persuaded that divorces would fall off 60 to 70 per cent. This law was that when a man got a divorce he could not under any clrcumstances marry another woman younger -than his ex-wife. An Innocent law, a brief- law, not much to look at, but how many divorce suits would be nipped in the bud If all husbands knew that after the separation they could not marry younger women than the wives they had cast off!”"—Philadelphia Bul- letin. ‘Water on the Veldt. ‘Water is sometimes very scarce and preclous on the South African veldt, according to a writer, who says: “In our veldt cottage we had no well, only large tanks, and about August our condition usually became desperate. If you washed your hands you carrled the precious fluid out to pour it on some thirsty plant or vegetable; the bath water the same, part of it being first saved to scrub floors. Cabbage and potato water was allowed to cool and then used for the garden or to wash the dogs in first, so that these ‘waters did three datles.” Enthusiast to the End. An enthusiastic French physician, while dying, made careful observa- tions of his condition, detailing his symptoms to his son and. attending physiclan in order that they might make a record of them. At the very end, when he was on the point of pass- Ing away, he surprised the friends at his bedside by saying, “You see I am dying.” Helped Out. .

How He Learned English. thing of his early struggles with the Hnglish language. . He knew It about as American college boys know thelr | German—that Is to say, barely at all. One day, “deciding such nonsense mus¢ end,” he entered a bookstore and asked for the classic of the English language. A wise clerk gave him “The Vicar of Wakefield.” He carefully translated it ' Into German and put his work away for six weeks. At the end of that time he translated his translation back into English and then made a searching comparison between his version and that of Goldsmith’s original. “After that,” he said, “I knew English.” $ix Fingered Monkeys. In several places in Cape Colony and the Orange Free State of South Africa caves have been discovered which ylelded hundreds of mummified re- mains of a queer species of six fingered monkeys. All of the full grown spec- Imens of this remarkable race have the tall situated high up on the back— from three to five Inches farther up than on the modern monkey—and other distinguishing marks, such as two sets of canine teeth, beards on the males, ete.

The roads arein poor condition, there being but little {hard bottom, and the hauling has been considerably handicapped thereby, but the work is pro- gressing fairly well, neverthe- less. Card Party.
