The following story is told of the famous painter Makart: The artist was a very passionate chess player. but bhe did oot like his adversary to utter a single word duriug the prog- ress of a game. A stranger who was very ansious to get on intimate terms with the famous artist thought to be able to achieve his object by weans of the royal game. After many tries he succeeded at last in getting an intro- duction to Makart, and one day the latter consented to play a game with him. Being well aware of the fact that his adversary was very much averse to any talk during the game, not a word was spoken, and even the word “check”™ was never spoken. All the stranger dared to do was to touch his adversary’s king when he put that plece in check. The game ended in Makart being mated. when the stran- ger quietly said “checkmate.” Makart rose very excitedly, threw the pieces off the board and, giving his opponent a fierce look, got off his chair, turned his back to the stranger and exclaimed “Prattler!” Curious Way of Cooling Water. The average native woman in the in- terior of Nicaragua may appear ener- vated and listless, but her method of cooling water is strenuous indeed. She fills a half gallon earthenware jar about two-thirds full. The jar is made of baked clay and, not being glazed, is partially porous, so that it soon be- comes moist on the outside. By means of two leathern straps firmly attached to the neck of the jar the woman causes the same to rotate swiftly in the air. The mouth is wide open, but the centrifugal motion keeps the water from flying out. Thne endurance shown by the Nicaraguan women of the poor- er class io this form of calisthenics is said to be marvelous. When, in the opinion of the operator, the water is sufficiently cooled she stops the move- ment by a dexterous twist of her wrist and hands the jar to the person that has been waiting to quench his thirst. By this process tepid water can be re- duced to the temperature of a very cool mountain spring. — New York Press. An Unmanned Lightship. There is stationed off the island of Islay. on the west coast of Scotland. at the Otter rock an interesting light- ship. It is unmanned. yet it can be relied on to display the warning light to guide the mariner on this dangerous coast. It is a very ingenlously con- structed vessel and the only one of its kind. In its two steel tanks sufficient gas can be stored to supply the vessel for several months. Experiments have shown that the light may be depended upon to burn continuously for mounths at a time. The approximate duration of the light can always be predeter- mined. and there is no danger what- ever of the light being extinguished by wind or spray. The light is visible at a distance of from eight to twelve miles. The lightship also has a bell. which is made to ring automatically by means of an ingenious device that utilizes the gas as it passes from the tanks to the lantern to work the bell clapper.—Harper’s Weekly. Always a Harvest Somewhere. There is a harvest every month dur- ing the year, as follows: January— Australia, New Zealand. Argentine, Chile; February—India: March—India. upper Egypt: April—Mexico. Cuba. lower Egypt. Syria, P’ersia, Asia Minor; May—North Africa, China. Japan and the southern United States of Ameri- ca; June—Mediterranean and southern France, central and east United States of America south of 40 degrees; July —France, Austria. Hungary. southern Russia, northern United States of America. Ontario and Quebec; August —England. Belgium. Netherlands, Ger- many. east Canada; September—Scot- land. Sweden, Norway, Russia; Octo- ber—Finland and northern Russia: No- vember—Peru, South Africa; Decem- ber—Burma, South Australia. It is a complete table and shows how the wheat supply pours into England dur- ing every month of the year.—English Agricultural Journal. A Brazilian Household Pet. Brazilians train a snake called the giboia as a rat catcher. It is fifteen feet long. is harmless to the human being, becomes quite a household pet. is lazy in the daytime, but at night roams about the bouse in quest of its prey—rats. These animals it promptly kills by twisting their necks. When Brazilians have to pass from room to room in the dark they first put on their slippers. It would not be pleasant to plant one’s bare feet on a cold, slimy snake of that size. Made the Most of It. A well known Irench actor became involved in a discussion with an Amer- ican. grew heated, drew his card from his pocket, threw it on the table with a tragic air and stalked out. The American regarded the card for some moments, then took out his fountain pen and wrote “Admit bearer” above the engraved line and went off to the theater.—Argonaut. A Reproof. “Oh, children, you are so noisy to- day. Cap't you be a little quieter?" “Now, grandma, you must be more considerate and not scold us. You see, if it wasn’t for us you wouldn't be a grandma at all.” Inconsistent. Guest—So your daughter belongs to the Universal Peace and Amiability society? Host—Yes. and she’s rapidly fighting her way to the front of that society. A trick is at the best but a mean thing. Le Sage. —_—_——— He Saw She Saw It. As the man who writes little items for the puaper sat getring himself titted with a pair of shoes the other day he saw this happen. A womap was get- ting waited on by a clerk who wore on the third tinger of his right band a diamond twinkler weighing at least a carat and a quarier He hado't al- ways worn a ring of that sort. It was new to him. He took a great dea! of pride in his vew ring. Oh, how it sparkled when the light was just right! Once or twice he got so interested in twisting it around on his tinger with his thumb to a position where it wounld be most easily noticed by the woman customer that he forgot to tinish lac- ing up the shoe she was trying on. But he bad succeeded in bringing the jewel to her attention. She had a sharp, leathery, suffragettish face and a disposition to speak right out on things. “I see it,” she remarked in a refrig- erated tone. “It's very pretty and at- tractive. You wear it with a good air of abandon too. | admire it exceed- ingly. After you've tinished toying with it 1 wish you would go ahead and show me something else—some- thing with not quite such a parrow toe.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Weighing Machines. Weighing machines and scales of some kind were in use 1800 B. C., for it is said that Abraham at that time “weighed out™ 400 shekels of silver, current money, with the merchant to Ephron, the Hittite, as payment for a piece of land, including the cave and all the standing timber “in the field and in the fence.” This is said to be the earliest transfer of land of which any record survives and that the pay- ment was made in the presence of witnesses. The original form of the weighing scale was probably a bar suspended from the middle, with a board or shell suspended from each end, one to contain the weight. the other to contain the matter to be weighed. The steelyard was probably so called from the material of which it was made and frow its former length. | ANNOUNGEMENT In coming before the people of Beltrami Co. as a independent car- didate for Co.

One of the latest stories told of rhem is about a perfor who went through many wondertul ts perched on the top of a single bamboo stick about fifteen feet in height. The top of the stick was tied (o a girdle around his waist, and a leg rest was provided by a cush- jon a few feet down the pole. Perch- ed on this slender stick he hopped and danced about in the liveliest way, ac- companied by the tapping of a drum. It would be considered a skillful feat to walk about with ease on a pair of stilts fifteen feet in height, but this Hindu showed a marvelous power of equilibrium on a single stick. He did other things even more wonderful. For example, he balanced a light stick on his nose and a heavy one on his chin and then threw the heavy one into the air with his head and caught it on the end of a light one. While balancing the two sticks thus. end on end. he made one revolve in one direction and the other in the opposite direction. “Grey” and “Gray.” What is the difference, if any, be There’s always room at the fop in the House of Success. are jostled. A Simple Test James J. Hill has said.—“If you want to know whether you are destined to be a success or a failure in life, you can easily find out. The test is simple and it is infallible:—Are You Able to Save Money? If not, drop out. You will lose. You may The higher you gef the less you tween *“grey" and "gray.” aside from It is also known as the Roman bal- ance and is of great antiquity. _ . _The Spinning Mule. Samue! Crompton, a hoy of sixteen, copied the bhest features of the spin- ning machine invented by Hargreaves and Arkwright, added to them some of bis own and, after three months of anxious and secret experimenting, pro- duced the first spinning mule, so called because it was a kind of hybrid be- tween Hargreaves' jenny and Ark- wright's water frame. The raw ap- prentice lad was, however, no match in cunning for the cotton lords., who soon found out the secret of his new machine and shamelessly robbed him of the fruits of his ingenuity. Many years afterward, it is true, they used theiv influence to secure for him a par- liament grant of £5.000. but he was then a broken hearted and disappoint- ed man. to whom the money came too late to be of any real service. The Human Riddle. One of the strangest problems of our inexplicable nature is the choice of evil and the rejection of good, even after long experience has proved that misery and evil are synonymous., Vir- tue, it is true, does not always exempt from sorrow, but crime must ever be wretchedness Hope loses its balm, and fear acquires a keener sting. The present is anxiety, the past remorse, the future is despair. and yet the way- ward man drinks the bitter cup when the sweet is offered to him and launch- es his boat upon an angry sea, where storms attend his course and ship- wreck terminates his voyage, rather than glide down the smooth current of a tranquil stream where peace pilots him on the way and happiness waits him on the shore.—Exchange. The Term “Bully.” The term bully in the days of Shake- speare had quite a different meaning from that which it has at present, be- ing an expression of endearment and good fellowship. Some suppose that the word. when it is used in approval, is derived from the Dutch boel or Ger- wan buhle, which stands for the Eng- lish lover. The harsher use of the word :is. however, to be traced to bel- low, the root of bull, with a signifi- cance of noisy blustering. A Frank Reply. A kind local lady went to Columbus to distribute helpful literature to the convicts in the penitentiary. “What are you in for, my poor fel- low?” she inquired of the first prisoner she saw. “Because [ can’t get out)’ he an- swered. Then she moved on to the next cell.—Toledo Blade. Chillyt “My dining room is the hottest place on earth.

The true aim of art is to embody man’s thought concerning nature.—W. M. Rossetti. the matter of spelling? The editor of the Oxford Dictionary some years ago made extended inquiry as to usage and found that opinions in London varied. Replies to his ques- tions showed that in Great Britain the form grey is the more frequent in use. despite the authority of Dr. Johnson and later lexicographers, who give the preference to gray. Many correspond- ents said that they used the two forms with a difference of meaning or appli cation, the distinction most generally recognized being that grey denotes a more delicate or lighter tint than gray. Others considered the difference to be that gray is a warmer color or that it has a mixture of red or brown. An- other group held that grey has more of sentiment. gray more of color, which may mean that grey is a suggestion rather than a positive outline.—New York .Press. Trying to Prove It.
