I see that Soo line salad is served and I hope there is no significance in the fact that it | contains lobster. Seriously, the Soo is glad to enter 1nto partner- I ship with Bemidji ” Thomas Green, chief engineer, put the banquet into an uproar, when he arose and solemly de- livered the following speech: «Mr. Toastmaster and gentle- men: I thank you. The Soo | pays me for keeping my mouth shut.” Mayor John C. Parker said: “The object of this meeting, as I {understand it, is to get acquainted and it is going to mean much to the fu'ure of Bemidji. When we get that boulevard around the lake next summer, it is going to make Bemidii ! the greatest summer resort in the state and it will double our popula- tion. There is another thing. All this dope about the mills closing down soon is wrong. The mills are going to run for fifteen to twenty years and by that time we are going to have new lines of business.” Mayor Parker also paid a tribute to the Soo officials. C. J. Winton, of the Bemidji Lum- ber company, expressed his pleasure at being present and told of hisearly timber operations in the vicinity.

The fact is that there is a phosphorescent pow- er in the eye which dves not attract a person's attention under ordiyary con- ditions, but which is distributed and reveals itself whenever the head gets a sudden shock and sometimes even in the act of sneezing. A blow on the head results in a pressure of the blood vessels upon the retina, causing either total darkness or a faint blue light which floats before the eyes, and it is in this faint blue light the imagination discerns the thousands of fantastic forms and figures that by general ac- ceptance are termed stars; hence, while the astronomical display so fre- quently mentioned may be said to be entirely a creature of the imuginntmn‘ there is at least some foundation for the idea. The true nature of the sen- sation is never very apparent, even to the victim, for the simple reason that it is invariably experienced under cir- cumstances which render a searching introspective investigation out of the question. An Odd Nugget of Gold. There have been many large and| oddly shaped gold nuggets found in the United States and elsewhere, but the oddest of them all was that dis- covered at the Midhas mine, on Sulky gully, near Melbourne, Australia, in 1887. The nugget was flat and almost the exact counterpart in contour of a colossal human hand held open. with the exception of the thumb and fore- finger, which were closed together in a manner so as to make it appear that the thumb was holding the finger in Its greatest length was twelve and a half inches and its greatest It was of the very purest gold, with but a little of mostly and weighed It was found in the north- west main drive of the Midhas mive, 120 feet below the surface of the earth and at a spot only fifty feet from where the famous Lady Brassey nug- get was discovered the year before. It weighed fifty-one pounds of pure gold. ! place. breadth eight inches. foreign substances adhering, between the “fingers.” 617 ounces. Mme. Rejane at Rehearsal. Mme. Rejane at one of her rehearsals was endeavoring to impress upon a young actor the necessity of a tragic! eS])I‘essum “Put yourself in his pln('p," she said. | Boston T “But I buve never been through such an experience,” the other pleaded. “Well, then” retorted the actress. *“imagine you have lost 300 or 400 louis at baccarat and that you have been dismissed from the company.” His face feld. “There you have it,” said she. “Keep that expression and you will win.” For a young woman who could not weep to order she tried a heroic cure. “Very well. 1 will take the part away from you. You are not pretty enough.” This had the desired effect, and the floodgates opened. “Weep like that and you will be the hit of the piece,” exclaimed Rejane triumphantly,—London M. A. P. The Back of a Glove. The meaning of the three marks on the back of a glove and the clocks on a stocking were two of the little mys- teries of dress explained at a lecture on clothes in London. The lecturer { said that the three marks on the back lofa glove correspond to the fourchette pieces between the fingers, and in old- en days these pieces were continued along the back of the hand, braid be- ing used to conceal ‘the seams. A somewhat similar origin was assign- ed to the ornamental clock on the stocking. 1n the days when stockings were made of cloth the seams came where the clocks do now, the orna- mentation then being used to hide the seams. The useless little bow in the leather band lining a man's hat is a survival of the time when a hat was made by taking a piece of leather, bor- ing two holes through it and drawing it up with a piece of string. A Witty Retort. A good story is told of twe great Irishmen, the late Archbishop Plunket and Father Healy, the well known parish priest of Bray. Making their way together to Bray railroad station one morning, the priest urged that they should hurry. but the prelate’s appeal to his watch convinced him that they bhad ample time. They ar- rived to see the train for Dublin dis- appearing. The archbishop’s apolo- gies were lavish. He pleaded that he bhad always had unbounded faith in his watch, "My dear Lord Plunket,” was Father Healy’s rejoinder, *faith won't do without the good works.”-- Blavkwood's Magazine. | A Poor Player.
