Minn.. a8 second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM Mrs. 1sabella Beecher Hooker, thé Irst of the children of Rev. Lyman Lcecher, sister of Henry Ward Beccher and Harriet Beecher Stowe, is dead at Hartford, Conn. Sir Francis Henry Evans, M. P, director of several companies and a partner in the firm of Donald Currie & Co., managers of the Union Castle line of steamships, is dead in London. Dispatches to Dun’s Review indicate that weather conditions are more nor- mal than for some time past, which helps retail trade, and in other de- partments the preparation for spring trade s active. Now that; Russell Sage is dead and ‘gone the assessor has dug up about $55,000,000 in personal property that will have to pay taxes, whereas old Russell, good business man that he was, was was only able to locate a paltry two million. Some of the ‘‘boys’ should start a subscription and send a “bunch” of the ‘“long green” to Granny Pease of . the Anoka Union, lest that benevolent gentleman remains away from the mweeting of the editorial assc- ciation at St. Paul next February. This is the way Granny puts it: “I’m warried. Really and truly worried. Here it is January, the twenty-third, Noxt month is February, that’s the month the Minnesota Editorial association meets in St. Paul, and what is worrying me is how the editors and publishers are going to at- tend, with no transportation in their pockets to make the trip. Dreacfully afraid the attendance will not equal that of former years and that’s a pity. Person- ally I attend these meetings mostly for the pleasure of meet- ing the old fellows who have been in the harness longer or as long as I have, it being the only occasion in the whole year I have the opportunity to swap lies with the old push. However I’'m hop- ing that by that time sufficient cash advertising may ! e secured from the railroads to permit them to make the trip. -If it isn’t, it's a dirty shame. So say we all of us.” The following, taken from an exchange, is applicable to alb “knockers,” in any community: “Occasionally one will hear the remark ‘I wish I was out of this town,’ and then one feels like saying, ‘I wish you were,” fora : man who, stands on the .street|; corner chewing and spitting, telling obscene stories, cursing the town and finding fault with his grandmother ~because - she 'was a woman, claiming that the merchants are alot of thieves, that the lawyers and newspaper men would skin a man to a finish and a whole lot more, is a nuis- ance and an abomination, says an exchange. Any town pestered with one or more such worthies would be justified in exercising cowhide authority on the bosom of their pants. No.one is obliged to live where heis not suited. If one hasn’t an encouraging word for the business eaterprise and institutions of s town, he should shut upand go ‘way back and sit down.’ If things don’t suit you, move to where they will, Agrowler and sore- head in a town isan enterprise killer every time. It would pay a town to donate him $5 and tell him to move.” Nursing Mothers and Over-burdened Women In all stations of life, whose vigor and vitality may have been undermined and broken -down by over-work, exacting soclal duties, the too frequent bearing of children, or other causes, will find in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription the most potent, invigorating restorative strength- Iver ever devised for their special bene- t.

While a sclentist was fiylng a train of five kites some years ago a large silver tipped eagle came suddenly out of the higher air and swooped round and round the first kite, looking against the sunset sky like a huge silver ball. As the train of kites was pulled in the eagle followed, visit- ing one kite and then another, seem- Ing uncertain just what to do. In a few minutes, when he seemed to have decided that they were not good to eat and he knew nothing about them, anyway, he indignantly flew off and was lost to view. While the scientist’s kites were high in the air one March Hocks of geese flying in the wedge flew over. They Invariably stopped, broke up, hovered above the queer object and at last slowly reformed and flew away. While the larger birds all come from heights above the kite, the small birds of the air will alight on the don |in Matthew Arnold’s string holding the kite and sway to and fro. Mysterious Glass Balls. According to a foreign correspondent of the geological survey at Washing- ton, among the most interesting fea- tures of the small island of Billiton, between Sumatra and Borneo, an is- land long famous for its rich tin mines, controlled by the Dutch government, are the ‘“glass balls of Bliliton,” found among the tin ore deposits, These nat- ural glass balls are round, with grooved surfaces. Similar phenomena are oc- casfonally found in Borneo and Java as well as In Australia. The corre- spondent quoted thinks they cannot be artificial, and there are no volcanoes near enough to support the theory that they are volcanic bombs. Besides, it Is clalmed, the glassy rocks produced by the nearest volcanoes are quite dif- ferent in their nature from the mate- rlal of the balls. It Is suspected that the mysterious objects were ejected ages ago from the volcanoes of the moon and afterward fell upon the earth. “Caracul”’—Its Etymology. I have often been asked for the ety- mology of “caracul,” which is a term now largely used by furrlers to denote a variety of the fur called astrakban. The new English dictionary does not contain caracul, but it has caracal, which is llable to be confused with it, though. really quite a different word. The caracal i3 an animal, but caracul, like the nearly synonymous term, as- trakhan, is the name of a place—Kara Kul—1. e, the Black lake, near Bok- hara, which has long been celebrated for its output of furs. The earliest reference I can find to it in English is “Sohrab and Rustum:” | And on his head he set his sheepskin cap, Black, glossy,” curled, the fleece of Kara Kul. £ —London Notes and Queries. Living In the Electric Light. ‘Writing to a friend in the country, a New York merchant says: “I live in the electric light. I leave my home at 7 o’clock, after dressing and taking my ' breakfast by electric light. Then I go to the subway, one block distant, and ride to within a block of my office. There I work all day by electric light | and go home again by the subway and spend the evening in the glare of the incandescent lamp. - The weather conditions make no difference, because my flat and my office ‘belong to the: semidark kind. Sometimes I wonder, what I would do without electric light, | and sometimes I ask ‘myself when I yearn for a little sunlight, Is the new : light really a blessing?’—New York ' Tribune. i John Stuart Mill, The genius of this great Englishman was such that before he ‘was twenty he was recognized as the champion| and future leader of a powerful school | of philosophy and polities. John Stu-; art Mill is sald to have studied Greek at the age of three and at fourteen ' had begun logic and political economy. | The writings and doctrines of this master mind were and are still read and preached not only in this country, but throughout the ‘world. - John Stuart Mill; stands - out’ prominently ' amongij " nineteenth century thinkers.—London Mail. Hardened. “Listen to this, Maria,” said Mn: Stubb as he unfolded his sclentific pa-| per. “This-article states that in some of the old Roman prisons that have been unearthed they found the petri- fled remains of the prisoners.” “Gra- elous, John!” replied Mrs. Stubb, with. a smile. “I suppose you wonld: calk: them hardened criminals.” — €hicago News. But He Was Cured. “I think T'U have to take treatment: for the forgetting habit. From whom: did you take your treatment that was: Bo_satisfactory and successful in im- proving your memory ?” # - “From—ah, ' from—ah—oh, I forget his name, but wait a minute, and DIk get one of his cards out of my desk.”— Bxchange. . Supremely Exasperating. “Don’t you think Mrs. Spurrell has an awful temper?” “‘She has, but can you blame the poor woman?. She has a husband who just absolutely won’t get mad at all”” The Auto maow. Some delver has found In_the Bible what he' believes to be a hint of auto- mobiles. It is contained in'the story of the vision of Natwm, the Elkoshite, concerning the burden of Nineveh. In the account given by this seer of the military array of the Medes and Baby- lonians against Nineveh occurs this verse: “The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall jostle one against the other in the broad way, they shall seem like torches, they shall run Hke the lightning.” If that doesn’t de- scribe a street full of motor cars what does? Then, again, a variant of the word “jostle,” which the original He- brew will, it is said, bear even better, I8 “pass swiftly, without particular purpose, to and fro.” Isn’t that the automobile habit?

Driven to desperation by their heavy losses, gamblers have often sought by some coup efther to repair their shat- tered fortunes or to bring down utter ruin upon themselves. One of the most curlous instances of this kind comes from England. In the eighteenth centu- ry a notorlous gambler had been los- ing steadily in a game for high stakes with Lord Lorne. Exasperated by his cont'nued ill fortune, he suddenly sprang up from the card table, seized a large and costly punch bowl and, balancing it above his head, called out to his opponent: “For once I'll have a bet where 1 have an equal chance of winning! Odd or even, for 15,000 guineas!’ “0dd!” replied the peer placidly, and the gambler hurled the magnificent bow! against the wall. ‘When they counted the pieces Lord Lorne had won.—Tuesday Magazine. Warmed by Their Perfume. According to the results of experl- ments by Dr. Jean Chalon, aromatic plants charged with essential oils which exhale a perfume that spreads like an atmosphere about them when touched by the rays of the sun are to a slight degree warmed by the pres- ence of this agreeable atmosphere. It acts In retaining the solar heat like the glass covers of a hothouse, al- though of course far less effectively. Professor Spring has shown that the relatively high temperatures of large cities ls probably due, at least in part, to the carbonic anhydride in the alr above them acting as a retaining screen for heat rays. Spots on Leather. Oxalic acid in weak solutions is the best thing to use when removing spots from leather. Two or three crystals of oxalic dissolved In warm water, then applied with a bit of cloth to the spots, will do the work. Watch close- 1y, and when the spots begin to disap- pear apply clear water to overcome the acid, which is a powerful bleach. Dry the leather with ‘a clean cloth. For bright leather make the solution weak- er.—Philadelphia North American. Slaves In Scotland. Were there once slaves in Scotland? A volume on Scottish industrial and social history in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries has some passages on the subject: “It shocks us very much to learn that the men, and even the women, who worked in the coal mines at that time—Ii. e., the eighteenth century—in Scotland still continued to be, as of old, little better than slaves. By a law passed by the Scottish parliament in 1606 avery man who once went to work in a coal mine was bound to la- bor in it all his life as a “necessary servant” _If he tried to run away he was tried and punished as a thief. If the land was sold on which the coal pit stood in which he worked he was sold with it like any of the .inachinery of the pit. In ¥775 an act of parlia- mernt was passed which set free most of the pit workers, but it was not till the end of the century that this form of slavery was quite abolished.” 0aa Occurrence In-the Hunting Field, On the afternoon of Feb. 8, 1794, the hounds of his grace the Duke of Beau- fort were in full cry. The run-had been | a long one, and they knew that the fox was almost spent. - Suddenly the scent turned abruptly from'the open, leading straight into the garden of a cotfage in the little .yillage of “Castle: Cdombe. Those -ho. ‘were “following - wondered-| what had happened and were more as- tonished. still to see. the entire pack, without checking for an'instant,.dash through ‘the open-door into. the: little room. A shrill scream was heard, and when the whipper in threw himself ‘from his horse and gained the thresh- old he saw’ a_sight’which probably no fox ‘hunter “has eyer ' met before or since. 'A white faced woman . stood clasping a child in her arms, and right “there in the cradle, from which the in- fant had just been snatched, eighteen couple of fierce hounds were struggling to devour their fox. Torbidden G: 3 ‘Almost every one of England’s pop- ular games has at one time or another been made Illegal. Scotland Is the home of golf, yet in 1457 the Scottish parliament passed an act entailing se- ‘vere penalties on any one caught play- ing the game, BEdward III., Henry IV. and Henry 'VIIL all strongly objected to football, and Queen Elizabeth made it an of- fense punishable by imprisonment to play football. There is a record of six- teen people being imprisoned at once for breaking this law. Football Is still undéer.a ban in some parts of the world. Two of the Swiss | cantons refuse to allow it, and In-Tur- key. it is.absolutely illegal, and those ‘who dare to play it are punished. ‘Among odditles of laws about games must be mentioned a French decree of the thirteenth century. By the king’s command the gallants of the court were forbidden to play .tennis “in their shirts.” Whether his majesty of France insisted upon coats -only or whether the unfortunate players were doomed to practice in complete suits of armor does not appear.— London “Graphic. Agriculture In Africa. Excepting perhaps some Malayan tribes the African negroes are said to be the finest agriculturists of all;the Tnatural races. The Bongos are said to Thave a greater varlety of garden plants around their huts than are found in the: fields and gardens of a German vil- lage. Irrigation is practiced. . The An- :golas, In the Kongo districit, have prac- +tical irrigation. The Wachangu show | - wonderful skill in irrigating their ter- .raced hillsides by tunnels of water di- | verted from the main stream. “They. Thave a clear mode of irrigating equally a glven surface. As the little canals of water are always elevated above the | cultivated ‘plants, they will tap them at a convenient spot above the. beds to be watered and then turn the stream into a rough conduit made of the hol- | low stems of bananas cut in half, the end of each stem overlapping the next. "Them as the water enters the last joint 1t is freely turned right and left, dis- tributing the vivifying stream in all directions.”—Southern Workman. Too Cold For Overcoa: “You do not find any one wearing overcoats In Alaska, even In the win- ter,” sald a man from that territory. “The principal thing to be careful about Is keeping the head, hands and feet warm. In that part of Alaska ‘where I have been the only land trans- portation is by dog sleds, and to fol- low them one has to drop into a dog- trot beside the sled. An ordinary suit Is plenty thick enough to keep you warm, and an overcoat s dangerous in that temperature. Trotting alongside a sled wearlng an overcoat would make you perspire, and the bitter cold would freeze the perspiration. = The men there wear a fur cap that covers every part of the head and face except the eyes, and there is only a little peep- hole for them. Wool lined mitts are ‘worn on the hands and moccasins with ‘woolen stockings on the feet.”—Balti- more Sun. ¢ Tragedy of a Wooden Leg. A man who travels en a wooden leg says: “About the worst accident we ever heard of befalling a wooden leg- ged man Is the time one such unfor- tunate was going home after being to a late supper, along about 3 o’clock in the morning, when his peg leg went through an auger hole in ‘the grub plank sidewalk, and he kept circling about that hole all night thinking he ‘was_going home. The editor of this paper wants it distinctly understood that we cannot vouch for the truth- fulness of this story.”—Kansas City Journal. All the Same. At one of the large north country churches recently a fashlonably dress- ed lady happened to go into one of the private pews. The verger, who is known to be a very stern old chap, im- mediately bustled up to her and sald: “I'm afraid, miss, you'll ha’e to cum out o’ that. This.is a pald pew.” “Sir,” sald the young lady, turning sharply round, “do you know who I am? I'm one of the Fifes.” “I dinna care,” said the old man, “if you are the big drum. You'll ha'e to cum out.”-+Edinburgh Scotsman. FRIEND TO FRIEND ‘The personal recommendations of peo ple who have been cured of coughs and colds by.

The Faithful Little Guide. Ofttimes I have seen a tall ship glide by against the tide as if drawn by some invisible towline with a hundred strong arms pulling it. Her sails hung anfilled; -her streamers were' drooping; she ‘had nelther side wheel nor stern wheel. Stili_ she moved on stately In Berene triumph, “as- if with her own Jlife. - But I-knew that on the other side Of the ship, hidden beneath the great hulk ‘that swam so majestically, there was alittle tolling steam tug with a heart of fire and arms of iron that was -hugging it close and dragging it brave- ly on, and 1 knew that if the little steam tug untwined her arms and left the tall ship it would wallow and roll mbout and drift hither and thither and go off with.refluent tide, no man knows ‘whither. And so I have known more than one genius, high decked, full freighted, wide sailed, gay pennoned, that but for the bare toiling arms and brave, warm-beating heart of the faith- ful little wife that nestled close to him so that no wind or wave could part them would soon have gone down stream and been heard of mo more.— Oliver Wendell Holmes. A Fatal Sleep. Hugh Miller, the Scottish- geologist and writer, was one of the most illus- trious of sleepwalkers. Miller, who had been addicted to somnambulism in his youth, found his restlessness return while he was engaged upon his “Tes- timony of the Rocks.” He used.to wake in the morning feeling, as he sald, as if he had been abroad In the night wind, dragged by some invisible power and ridden by witches. On the night of his death he slept alone. In the morning they found him stretched dead on the floor with a bullet through his breast. He had written a note to his wife: “My brain burns. I must have walked, and a fearful dream rises upon me. I cannot bear the horrible thought. My brain burns.as the rec- ollection grows.” So intense had been the poor fellow’s anguish that to make certain his end he had torn back shirt and vest and placed the muzzle of the pistol to his naked flesh.—St. James’ Gazette. i 5 The Fractured Leg. A visitor was going through the chil- dren’s surgical ward of one of the city hospitals when he spied a little fellow with his legs in the air and his weight resting on his head and shoulders, - Go- Ing closer, he saw that the boy’s feet ‘were fastened with ropes which passed sthrough a pulley above. At the other ends of the ropes were welghts, just heavy enough to hold the boy’s legs in the air without lifting him entirely off the bed. ‘ “What's all that about?” asked the visitor. “Doesn’t it hurt him?” “Not at all,” answered the physician who was accompanying. “He doesn’t look unhappy, does he? That's the way we always handle fractures of the leg with a child. Otherwise the youngsters squirm around so that they Work the splints loose. Only one of this boy’s legs is injured, but they are both swung in the air for his greater comfort.”—New York Post. Cheertulness.

Gazette. rallied completely. “I thought I was done for,”, he safd. “Well, if I'm all right, heré goes.” Before the surgeon could stop him he was in the saddle and riding at the best gait of his horse back to the front again, . The Ways of the Moonshiner. * The ways of the moonshiner are pret- ty much the same everywhere. A suit: able location consists of:a secluded: spot with water In abundance. It Is important, should he ever be called upon to defend a case in court, for the question of the ‘ownership of the land upon which the still Is located, to be involved in doubt; hence the moonshin- er gets as near the line of ‘his own 1and oi* the land he controls as possible. The ‘stills' are primitive affalrs and aré often made complete in the neighbor- bood in which they are operated.. With two or three square yards of sheet cop- per the still maker requires but a few hours to make the “biler.” Home- made hogsheads are usually used as fermenters, and the only .thing that the illicit distiller has to send “off yander arter” is the worm. Being difficult to secure, the moonshiner: prizes -his “worm” highly, and that part of the distillery Is usually takeu away when the -operator. leaves—David A. Gates in Metropolitan Magazine. Origin of “Bluestockings.” " Burke, apropos of “Evelina,” paid Fanny Burney this high compliment: “We, have had an age for statesmen, an age for heroes, an age for poets, an age for artists, but this”—with a gal- lant bow to Fanny—*“is the age for women.” The name *“bluestockings,” given to these distinguished women; arose, according to Fanny Burney in her “Memoirs of Her Father,” from an apology -made by Mr. Stillingfleet in deciining an invitation of Mrs. Vesey’s "to a literary meeting at her house, “I am not properly dressed: for such a. party,” he pleaded. “Pho, pho,” she cried, taking him and his dress all in at a glance, “don’t mind dress! Come in your blue stockings.” This he did, and “those words ever after were fixed in playful stigma upon Mrs. Ve- sey’s associations.”” —T. P.’s London ‘Weekly. ‘What We Stand On. The density of the earth as a whole has been estimated, with close agree- ment among the scientists who have made the determination by different. methods, to be about 5.5, or five and a half times as heavy as an equivalent sphere of water. On the other hand, the average density of the materials form- ing the accessible parts of the earth’s crust is between 2.5 and 8, so that the mean density of the whole globe Is about twice that of its outer part. This indicates that the central part of the earth is composed of heavier mate-’ rials and may even be metallic, which condifion, says the HEngineering-and Mining Journal, would accord perfect- ly with the nebular hypothesis. .
