Minn., a8 second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM! Some of our contemporaries seem to think that an attempt to provide - for a constitutional amendment to tix the price of the state’s internal improvement lands at the same price of con- tiguous government lands cannot be secured because of the oppo- sition from the southern and central portions of the state, says the Cass Lake Times. We are unable to perceive any such oppo- sition; every county in the gre: t commonwealth is as much inter- ested as we are; they have thous- ands of young men just reaching manhood who cannot be provided with farms at the old home and if given a chance to select from the rich fields of the north will gladly embrace the opportunity, These lands cannot lawfully be held by the state for a raise in price, the state is not, or should not be, | classed as a land speculator and | the lands now held at a price f;«r} above their intrinsic worth were obtained without any cost to the people and should be put into market as intended by the grantor when the grant ~was made. The state has never com- plied with the terms of the grant and the federal government; if it saw fit to raise that point, might yet deprive us of further control. These lands having . been granted for International Im- provement should be devoted to that end and sold to" the home- steader and the proceeds applied in improvements, The recent action of the city council in rejecting the hose which had been substituted for a| better grade purchased by the council from a sample submitted by the Eureka Hose company, has been favorably commented on by many papers throughout the north half of the state. Despite the sarcasm of alocal smut-sheet, the action was a commendable one. Relative to the matter, the Thief River Press says: “Bemidji has recently rejected 600 feet of hose sold the fire de- partment by the Eureka Fire Hose ‘company, through its Minneapolis agent.” The hose was first tested and appeared to be all right, but when a member they cut off a foot ofithe hose and compare: it carefully. with the sample used: to'get the order, jt had attempted ‘to be sharp, and had sentan inferior grade. Every ¢ity and village would'do well to follow Bemidji’s example in this matter; there is no doubt but that - many - towns. -have been swindled: in, purchasing fi e hose.” ND.

The Influence of the Farm, The farm is the best security we bave for our social well being, and whatever promotes Interest there, whatever raises it in intelligence and sclentific spirit, is one of the most comforting influences of our civiliza- tion. And so to have our young men imbued with the true agricultural spir- it, to turn away from the adventures of the commercial life and the allure- slmple, productive, independent life on the farm, is one of the richest promises in our educational system. For there is where it belongs—to the expanding mind force of the nation. The finest triumphs of the next fifty years, re- sults that will go further than all other enterprise In blessing men, will be won on the farm. There is a science of soil culture, and the art that is to be based upon it will open wide the door to men of thought and refinement. The answer of the old artist that he mixed his. paint with brains is akin to the experience in the farming of the future, which will mix brains with the 80il.—Columbus (0.) Journal, He Knew Them. “What's up, Tommy?” sald a good natured London coster, who was pass- ing, to a small boy who was sobbing bitterly. “Oh, me farden! Hi've lorst me brite farden!” wailed the little lad, continu- ing his search. “’Ere, mates,” said the man to some others standing near, “let's help the pore kid find 'is farden.” And the com- pany set to work. In a few moments one of them pick- ed up the missing coin. “'Bre y'are, Tommy,” he said; “‘ere's yer farden.” Then, looking at it in the light of a street lamp, “W’y, it aln’t a farden at all; it's a ’arf quid.” “Garn!” sald the boy as he snatched away the coin. “D'ye think HI was goin’ to let yew blokes know hit was a ‘arf thick 'un? W'y, wun of yer would ’a’ ’ad ’Is foot on it afore HI'd 'ad time ter turn rahnd.” And he vanished round the corner like a streak of lightning.—London An- swers. Fatherly Disclpline, She came Into his study gently. “I hate to disturb you, dear.” He looked up. - “It Is after 11, and Dick has not come home yet—and—it Is the sec- ond time this week he has stayed out. 1 did not wish to speak to you—but—a |~ boy of seventeen”— She faltered. He was looking at her with a strange, fixed expression. “I anderstand. Leave him to me. Ishall walt up until he comes in.” “Don’t be harsh with him,” she said pleadingly. “Ob, I am so sorry I told you! Remember, he has always been such a good boy”— “My dear, you have nothing further I must deal with my 1 request you You had better go 1 ask you to do so. I want him to find me here when he sees fit to return to his home.” She retired, with her mother heart anxlously beating, and waited until the click of a latchkey sounded in the street door. She listened, trembling, ready to rush out, a penitent peace maker. She heard: “Dick, 1s that you?” “Yes, sir.” “Is the dog in the hall?” “Yes, sir.” “Well, turn out the gas. Good night!”" ~—Madeline Bridges in Woman’s Home Companion. Chgracteristic Songs. “It may or may ot be the case that a race’s temperament can be- judged from its folk songs,” sald a traveler on a transatlantic liner the other day, “but 1t Is Interesting to note the dif- ference of subject matter In the songs of varlous peoples. “The Irishman, for instance, seems to sing for the most part about his ladylove. “Hardly any of his songs are. not’ addressed to his ‘Somebody Ma- ‘vourneen.’ “The Scot, on the other hand, sings ubout his country and its history, as a tule. “‘Scots 'Wha Hae,’ ‘Ye Banks and Braes o' Bannle Doon,’” ‘Loch Lomond,’ and so on, might be taken as examples. “The Englishman, it is Interesting to note, sings about himself all the.time, ‘His songs are about his own glory, his ships, his mep, his power. He refers occaslonally to old England,. but only a8 a place he made famous by his own prowess, Unllke the Irish and the Scotch, he sings little of his women and his country’s beauties.”—New York Times, provement ‘ON EASY PAYMENTS “For the man or woman of moderate means we are offering lots in the third addition on easy monthly payments.

Swedback Block, Bemlflfl- Love potions as used by the peasants. of lower Austria and Syria are gen- erally taken by the person who wishes to be loved. The common habit is to consume minute portions of white ar- senic, which will In a few weeks de- velop a thin, pale girl into a plump, rosy cheeked beauty. Great care has to be exercised In taking the arsenic or death results, and when the habit 18 once formed it usually lasts for life, since the body becomes uncomfortable and even diseased, showing all the symptoms of arsenic poisoning, if the habit is broken off. g Some of the eastern nations use love potions differently. 1If a girl loves a man and he seems cold, she contrives to give him a drink of hasheesh, ob- talned from Indian hemp. The man's brain becomes fogged, and he Is ready to believe anything that Is suggested to him. The girl suggests to him that she Is beautiful and thus compels him to regard her unlovely features as she desires. The Human Electric Battery. The superstition that human beings should sleep with their heads to the north is believed by the French to have for its foundation a scientific fact. They affirm that each human system is In itself an electric battery, the head being one of the electrodes, the feet the ather. Their proof was discovered from experiments which the Academy of Sclences was allowed to make on the hody of a man who was guillotined. This was taken the instant it fell and placed upon a plvot free to move as i might. The head part, after a little vaclllation, turned to the north, and the body then remained stationary. It was turned half way round by one of the professors, and again the head end of the trunk moved slowly to the car- dinal point due north, the same results being repeated until the final arresta- tion of organic movement, The Tobacconist’s Efigy. One of the most peculiar things in the whole history of signs is the fact that while all other shopkeepers were patronizing the embryo painters the tobacconist always called upon the ‘woodcarver on the continent as well as In England. As long ago as Eliza- beth’s reign the wooden image of the black boy was the favorite sign of the tobacco dealers. Later the cus- tomary sign was the highlander or a figure of Sir Walter Raleigh. In Hol- land, for some strange reason, tbe to- bacconists adopted the dairymaid as thelr sign, with the motto, “Consola- tion for sucklings.” The Indian, nat- urally enough, has always been the predominant sign in this country, al- though once In awhile a reversion to type crops out with the ancient black boy. ¢ Caterpillar Fever, The symptoms of the ailment known to doctors as “caterpillar rash” are in- tense irritation on the palms, and some- times on the face, accompanied by a aumber of blisterlike swellings which, when they occur round the eyes, some- times have the effect of obstructing vision. The preventive is to leave hairy. caterpillars alone. As the “palmer worm,” the hairy caterpillar of the gold tail moth, one of the com- monest and most beautiful objects of the country at midsummer, passes from hand to hand, it leaves on every palm a few of its loosely attached bairs, and those hairs are possessed, for the protection of the caterpillar against birds and browsing animals, of what scientists call “urticating prop- ertles.” “Urtica” is the Latin for “net- tle”” Many other hairy caterpylars are almost as bad as the “palmer worm,” and as a general rule the less you han- dle any bairy caterpillar the better.— London Mail. The Benefit of Exercise. Exercise does for the body what the mountain side does for the stream of water. When the water runs down the mountain side it Is a babbling brook, leaping out into the air now and then, throwing itself into spray, exposing it- self to the air and sunshine and the ‘waters are crystal pure. In the valley or on a’level plain the waters may form stagnant pools and get covered over with slime of all sorts and inhabited by all kinds of filthy creeping things Some people let themselves get into the condition of that stagnant pool and then wondér why the frogs croak in their brains and why the birds do not sing instead. - When a person gets into the:condition where the body is like a stagnant pool a radical change must be made in his -life. He must begin by getting vitalized, new blood into all his cells and tissues.—Good Health, Jackson In Triumph, & After the battle of New Orleans, says Thomas' E. Watson in his magazine, when the victor had been crowned with laurel in the cathedral and acclaimed lke a demigod through the streets, it 'was of his mother that he spoke to the officers whom he was about to disband -~their glorious work being done. “Gentlemen, If only she could have lived to see this day!” As you follow the narrative of Andrew Jackson’s ca- reer, you will hear him say many things that you will not approve, will see him do many things which you cannot applaud, but when you re- call that at the very top notch of his success and his pride his heart stayed in the right place and was sore because his mother could not be there to glad- den her old eyes with the glory of her son you will forgive him much in his lite that was harsh and cruel and ut- terly wrong. Chinese Gambler’s Penance. A Chinese cook named Chin Kan had been engaged by a wealthy Chinese in Ho In street in Canton. All the money he earned had been lost in gambling. On one occasion his master paid him some money for the provisions he sup- plied. The cook lost all the money at one stake. Finding that his debts ‘were accumulating day by day, on the twenty-fourth day he went into the kitchen and chopped off the forefinger of his left hand as a self punishment and warning In order to relinquish- this evil hablt of gambling in the future. He became unconsclous through the pain, but was brought round again in Company. & few minutes.—Singapore Times. — e PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS.

The old Republican party, founded by Thomas Jefferson, had its most vigorous life during the twenty-four years while Jefferson, Madison and Monroe were in the White House. Dur- ing these years It completely annihi- lated its opponent, the old Federalist party, which was the predecessor of the present Republican party. John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United: States, who had a leaning to Federalism, was elected by the house of representatives (none of the candidates having .a majority of the electoral vote) as a natlonal Republi- can, and when Jackson came in four years later It was as a Democratic Republican. It was during his time. that the latter half of the name was dropped, and the party of Jefferson took the name of the Democratic party. It was not until 1854 that the present Republican party assumed the name which the party of Jefferson and Jack- son had dropped a quarter of a cen- tury before—St. Louis Republican. To Conciliate the Gods. An Aundaclous = The function of .the king's -fool in .medlaeyal times was in a measure an Jmportant one, and he who filled the post had often very great influence with his soverelgn. Perhaps the bright- est and most astute of fools was Tri- boulet, the favorite jester of Francis I. It was reported that his majesty, who Wwas of a very generous nature, had acceded to a request of Charles V., emperor of Germany, that he might pass through France on his way from Spaln to tie Netherlands. Putting aside all recollection of what he had suffered at the emperor’s hands while a captive in Spain, Francis was pre- paring to receive Charles with much ceremony and splendor. Obgerving one morning that Triboulet was scribbling industriously upon a bit of paper, Francls Inquired what he was doing. “I have just added the name of Em- peror Charles of Germany to my list of fools,” answered the jester, “a sover- elgn who is committing the incredible folly of Intrusting himself to you by passing through your kin @wm,” “Folly?

The Irish Bull In Journalism, Of a well known reporter of & past generation many curlosities of style are still repeated with zest by Dublin Journalists. It was this man who ex- plained, describing a case of drown- ing off Dalkey, “The body was washed ashore by a receding wave.” Of a fu- gltive from justice he wrote: “The burglar was surrounded on all sides by the police. Escape was Impossible. Suddenly he made his way down a cul-de-sac and disappeared through a glde street.” The most popular story of this impressionist writer, however, relates to Mr. Gladstone. On the Grand Old Man's one and only visit to Dublin he was interviewed by the ec- centric press man. Mr. Gladstone, at the conclusion of & somewhat amusing array of questions, very courteously expressed his pleasure at meeting the Interviewer. The latter, in a high state of delight, said with enthusiasm, “The pleasure is mutual, Mr. Gladstone, but Is all on my side.”—London Tribune. The Oldest Sense of Humor. The oldest idea of humor is surprise This the child exhibits (for that which 18 oldest we shall find in the youngest) ‘when it hides and cries “Boo!” both surprising and frightening its senior, be this senior father, mother, brother, sis. ter or friend. One may find this primal sense of humor distributed through the modern short story. Frequently the turn in the plot, if not In its develop- ment, hinges upon this child humor of surprise. Even some grownup folk will pull a chair from under one, thus showing themselves still children fn their sense of fun. The verbal conceit found In much of the verse in the pages of modern comic papers is of this same class of humor and furnishes conclusive evidence that a number of men and women are at child’s play in literature. Poems which end contrary to their foreshadowings are of this sort. —New York Herald. A Curfous Custom. In certain parts of India in families where there are several daughters the youngest sisters may only marry after the elder: sister is married. Of course it frequently happens that no_suitor appears for the elder, in which case ehe is got out of the way by a very neat expedient. She is wedded to a tree or a large flower, and then the younger sister may marry. The elder slster must be careful, however, to choose a plum, apple or apricot tree, from which she can get a divorce, for if she married an elm, pine or poplar ‘these are sacred trees and must not be trified with. His Wig In His Pocket. Benjamin Franklin once wore his wig In his pocket at the court of Ver- sallles. When he was about to present himself at the court for the first time he was informed that a wig was essen- tlal, Franklin's head was so large that Do ordinary wig would begin to fit it. However, one was found sufficiently large to pass him through the ante- chambers, after which he was permit- ted to remove the ridiculous conven- tional appendage and place it In his ample pocket. ‘Hard to Please. * Mr. Snaggs was accosted on the street the other day by a beggar who was covered with a very remarkable mass of patched and ragged. garments and who sald: *‘Mister, haven’t you some old clothes you could give a fellow?” Snaggs surveyed the beggar from head to foot and then asked: “Are not the clothes you old enough for you?” have on Discriminating.

Won By His Viettm. - Baron de Molrenheim, a Russian dip- lomat, was one of the strongest fig- ures in the political life of his country. He did not believe in conceding a point if bard fighting seemed likely to bring victory. While holding & high position In 8t. Petersburg his life was threat- ened by a conspiracy. A workman had been detailed to kill him, and after the plot was discovered he had the man brought beforc him. The accused was a youth who had been driven by star- vation to join the revolutionists. “You do not agree with what I am doing?’ said the baron in a friendly tone. The man answered deflantly in the nega- tive. “Very well,” sald the intended vietim, “every man is entitled to his opinion, and I think that what you ‘want is work.” He ordered the man {o be freed and found him employment in his own service, where the workman remained till the day of his death a few years afterward. Broke the Spell. Up to the time of Grover Cleveland’s election it was a popular superstition with politicians that no ecandidate whose name began with the letter O could be elected to the presidency. The idea arose from the fact that no man ‘whose surname presented this peculiar- ity, no matter how strong he was with the people, had ever been successful at the polls. There were two Clintons, George and De Witt; William H. Craw- ford, Henry Clay, Lewls Cass and a number of others, who, though their prospects seemed bright indeed, met with defeat when it came to the test. Several of the C’s, George Clinton and Henry Clay, for instance, were strong candidates several times, but never could “make the riffle.” Drone Beetles. Drone beetles have a reputation for weather wisdom among country folk, ‘who regard a flight of beetles as a sign of fine weather. M.. Fabre, a French naturalist, wishing to ascertain if this supposition was correct, caged a num- ber of beetles. One fine evening when everything indicated equally fine weather for the following day not a beetle flew about. In fact, during the night a storm broke out, and rain fell all next day. Another evening, where there ware no signs of fine weather, the beetles flew about in all directions. During the night the clouds vanished, and next day there was brilliant sun- shine. According to M. Fabre, drone beetles durieg three months are living barometers, more deserving of cre- dence than physical instruments, their keen sensitiveness to the electric ten- slon of the atmosphere belng much greater than that of niercury. It has #ven been demonstruted that drone beetles are affected by atmospheric disturbances a long svay off and that they sometimes grow restless when there Is a storm more than sixty miles away. He Disappeared. Jerome K. Jerome once figured In what the reporters call a ‘‘mysterious disappearance.” On a wager he agreed to vanish, and took himself off while his friends were still on the alert. He disappeared while they were reading a mysterioug letter which he handed to one of the party. When last seen he was stepping aboard a houseboat on the Thames. Then for a month he seemed to have gone out of existence. His friends put the police on his track, calling for his arrest for stealing the boat. A month passed and then the novelist and the boat appeared at the Jatter's old moorings. What he had done was simply to take the boat a little upstream, then during the nigut erase her name and substitute another and change the color of the paint here and there 5o as to render her as unlike her former self as possible. His scheme was a success in every particular. The Origin of a Word. The .London Chronicle tries to trace the origin of the word “typhoon.” “Tal-fung,” it is explained In some dictionaries, is Chinese for “a great wind,” and since the typhoon is a phenomenon of the Chinese seas it seems conclusive. ~But there Is no doubt apparently that ‘“typhoon,” which Hakluyt spelled “touffon” and Dampler “tulfoon,” comes to us'through Portuguese for the Arabic, Persian aud Indian “tufan,” and it is almost im- possible not to see in this a relation of the ancient Greek “typhos” or “ty- phon,” a whirlwind. But these are practically ldentical with the Greek ‘word for smoke or vapor, from which come our “typhus” and “typhold.” So perhaps the Chinese part of it is only an extraordinary lingulstic colncidence, after all. 3 Lava.
