Speaking of the Red Lake Indian reservation, William T. Cox, who had just returned from an overland trip, said in the St. Paul Pioneer Press: “Red Lake deserves to be much better known than it is. With the exception of Lake Michigan, it is the largest body of fresh water wholly within the United States. It covers an area of nearly 400 square miles. “Red lake is remarkable in that despite its immense size, it contains no islands, and that its shore is practically a continuous sand beach. The deepest portions of the lake are only about 35 to 40 feet, but the bot- tom is so uniform that a sail boat or steamer can take a straight coarse without danger of striking reefs or sand bars. The surrounding country even in topography and breezes on the lake are dependable so that this splendid body of water offers per- haps the best opportunity in the world for yacht racing, ice-boat rac- ing and similar sports. “Red lake has no muscallonge but is well supplied with white fish, pike and other food fishes. The fishing Perhaps this is well since it will now be possible, owing to an interest in conservation, to provide for proper supervision of the fisheries when they are developed to see that fa- vorable conditions are maintained for the reproduction of the fish and con- tinuance of the industry. It would be much more sensible for the gov- ernment to encourage a conservative development of the fisheries of Red lake and thus lead the 1,200 Indians living on its shores to become self- supporting through a line of work for which they are suited than to spend untold sums trying to make farmers of them. “The fish, of Red lake are worth farl more to the Indians, if the govern- ment only thought so, than all the pine on the reservation and all the land which may ever be alloted to them. The present reservation in- cludes the country on the south and west sides of the lake, together with the pine covered peninsula and em- braces about 400,000 acres.” Towa Observes Arbor Day. Des Moines, Ia., April 26.—Pursu- ant to the proclamation of Governor Carroll, Jowa observed Arbor Day to- day by the planting of trees and shrubs and the holding of special ex- ercises in public schools throughout the state.

Figures of Stock Yards Show Many Sales Per Year. In a small circular which it has just issued, the St.-Paul Union Stock- yards company is making a bid for western business claiming that it af- fords a better market for livestock than many in the east.

CARE OF RUGS AND CARPETS Their Usefulness May Easily Be Short. ened by Careless Handling When Cleaning. No matter what the size or quality of a rug, it 18 a mistake to shake it by the end to beat it free from dust, The force required to grasp it securely and the sharp snap and jerks- are ruin- ous to the binding and fringe. A rug sometimes becomes badly creased. To remedy this, turn it up- side down and wet the crease with a moistened broom until the rug is quite wet. Stretch the rug tight and let it remain over night, after tacking it with tinned tacks, which do not rust. Here is a good way to clean carpets without taking them up—it will also clean rugs thoroughly: Sprinkle them generously with yellow cornmeal that has been well dampened in weak am- monia water. Sweep off in a few min. utes and you will be surprised to see the clean and bright appearance of your carpets and rugs. Should you accidentally spill oil or 800t on your carpet, you can extract all the oil by covering the spot with buckwheat flour, allowing it to remain several hours before sweeping. Repeat again if not all removed by first appli- cation. To get rid of the soot, you will need to spread some coarse salt thickly over the spot. Let it remain & short time and when swept off you will find the spot removed. This rem- edy will not hurt the finest carpet. - When ink is spilled on carpets or rugs it should be covered immediates ly with salt, and keep putting on salt | until there is no sign of the ink through the salt, let it remain over night, and when you sweep it off next morning there will be no sign of the ink left on the carpet. ‘When taking up carpets there is no necessity for the clouds of dust that some women let loose in the air by improper management.. If paper was laid under the carpet the work is eas- ily done. After drawing all of the tacks without turning up even a core ner of the carpet, begin at one end of the room, znd with an assistant, care- fully roll the carpet from one end to the other. . Lift it carefully and carry it to the clothes line. Draw the pas pers, with the dust on them, carefully together, placing them on top of each other until all are in a pile. Fold them over to prevent the dust scatter ing off, and carry them outdoors to be burned. Sprinkle the floor with cold water and sweep up, then wash with soap suds, and the task is accomplish. ed with no dust to settle on the walls, _—— He Speaks Twenty-Three Languages. Sir Charles Elliot, the newly ap- pointed principal of Hong Kong uni- versity, who speaks 23 languages, may probably hold the record as a linguist In these degenerate days. But in the past he would not have borne off the belt so easily. There was Elihu Bur- ritt, for instance, the “Learned Black- smith,” born in Connecticut in 1810, who whilst working as an apprentice at the forge taught himself French, Latin, German, Italian, Greek and He- brew. During early manhood he mas- tered Sanskrit, Syriac, Arabic, Norse, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Bohemian and Turkish; then turning his attention to minor languages and dialects, perse- vered in his studies until he was able to read, write and speak in 60 differ- ent ways. . But it took an equal lnguist to tell When Elihu Burritt was telling the truth.—From the London Chronicle. Eggs on Toast (Southern).
