The Superior Elks did things to them a few nights ago, and they have de- preciated in value considerable. Good boys, though.” Mohr-McMillian Entertainment. The entertainment promised by the Minneapolis Journal will be given in the city hall on Friday evening this week. The Mohr-McMillian entertainers come to this city well recommended as first-class entertainers respects. Miss Florence Jerome Mohr has no superior as a story teller imper- sonator and reader. She has a facinating stage presence aud you could not help but appreciate her clever work. Miss Marie Marquis, who is a brilliant young American singer— destined some day to be a Nordica or Melba, sings a number at each performance. The entertainment is one of the best ever produced in Bemidji and the company comes well recom- mended. in all 7 Life In Christiania. Many of the residences of Christiania stand villa-like in the midst of pretty gardens, which in summer are full of bloom and give the streets a peculiar charm and sense of openness. Within, the people live simple, wholesome lives, kindly and hospitable, with that truest hospitality which invites the guest to share in good cheer without ostentation or display. Dinner is at 8 or 4 o'clock, served by trim, fresh looking maids, and supper at 8, where, except on form- al occasions, the guest is free to forage around the table for himself. Host and hostess drink the health of each guest with the word “skaal,” replied to by the eyes over the glass after drink- ing. Adjourning to the drawing room, the guests thank both master and mis- tress of the house, and on the next meeting never fail to say, “Thanks for the last time.” One is everywhere struck by the frank and unaffected sim- plicity of the life and the straightfor- ward kindliness of the people.—H. H. D. Peirce in Atlantic. Dread of Marble Portraits. “One pecullarity of human nature !f that 1 am reminded of daily,” said a sculptor, “is the disinclination of the average man to look upon himself re- produced in marble. him with positive dread. It makes him feel as if he were looking: on his own lifeless body. For that reason It is difficult to persuade many persons ‘worth modeling to sit for a sculptor. Frequently I am asked why most of my work is modeled after dead and gone subjects. The answer is that liv- Ing people refuse to give me a commis- slon. The art of the sculptor differs there from that of the painter. Every- body likes to be painted. The sight of one’s face, one’s figure, one’s clothes, In a picture evokes nothing but pleasura- ble emotions if well done, but to see oneself carved out of marble produces such an overpowering sense of death that many sensitive persons put off im- mortalization at the hands of a sculp- tor until they are really dead.””—New York Press. The sight strikes | His Brothers. At the usual monthly petty sesslons court held In a certaln provincial town some weeks ago the following incident occurred: One of the local police constables had summoned a neighboring farmer on a charge of “hayving a number of asses wandering at will on the public road.” The defendant failed to appear, but his brother was present in the person of the clerk of petty sessions, who on hearing the sentence of the presiding magistrate, “Fined 2s. 2d. and costs,” rose to fthe oceasion by replying: “They're my brother’s, your worship I'll pay the fine.” He was shocked when his becoming exhibition of fraternal love for the asses was rewarded with an outburst of laughter.—London Graphie. Where the Shoe Pinched. It was easy for Mr. Randall to bear with his wife’s remarkable decision of character at all times, but her obsti- nacy he found most difficult to endure. “I can’t quite comprehend her,” he confided to his brother after one try- Ing experience. “Many years as we have been married, she still surprises me. Why, all in the same day, some- times in the same hour, she will settle a disturbance in the kitchen, put the children just where they belong, adjust some matter in the church and then, when her judgment ought to be at its best, display the most astounding ob- stinacy in attempting to regulate my goings out or comings-in. It's—it’s In- comprehensible.” Moslem Prayer Rugs. Prayer rugs were evidently invented for the purpose of providing the wor- shipers with one absolutely clean place on which to offer prayers. It is not lawful for a Moslem to pray on any place not perfectly clean, and unless each one has his own special rug he 18 not certain that the spot has not been polluted. It does not matter to these followers of Mohammed how unclean a rug that is on the floor may be, because over it they place the prayer rug when their devotions begin. An Eye Experiment. The two eyes really see two objects. If the two forefingers be held, one at the distance of one foot, the other two feet in front of the eyes, and the for- mer be looked at, two phantoms of the latter will be observed, one on each side. If the latter figure be regarded, two phantoms of the nearest finger will be observed mounting guard, one on either side. - _ Answered. Two ministerial candidates named Adam and Lew preached in a Scottish church. Mr. Low preached in the morning and took for his text, “Adam, where art thou?” He made a most excellent discourse, and the congregation was much edi- fied.
