WO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE f } I " ' 4 er \ Rntered in the Postotfice at Grand Rapids, Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter ic" ART IN SKIRT LIFTING. French Girt Excels American in This Matter. “Inherent grace is no greater in French girls than in American girls,” said Mme. Baker at the national con- vention of dressmakers. “But in the dainty art of earrying their skirts in their hands while taking the air of the boulevards, French girls are in- comparably superior to their Ameri- can cousins. The secret is that the French maid’s petticoat is made to elear the ground, while the Ameri- ean’s drop skirt is as long as the outer garment. The American must lift both skirts to prevent their trail- ing in the dirt of the streets. She grasps a great bundle of unwieldy eloth, so heavy and clumsy that almost invariably she pulls it around in a way that plays havoc with the effectiveness of her gown. The French demoiselle has only the outer skirt to care for, and she has no need of muscle to lift with fairy grace the fabric—Chicago Record-Herald. INDIANS SELL THEiR LANDS. Many of the Tribes Are Rapidly Dis- posing of Their Possessions. Those Indians who are allowed le- gally to sell their lands are rapidly doing so. Lust year members of the Pottawatomie, Shawnee, Peoria, Mia- mi, Wyandotte and Chippewa tribes have made 305 conveyances, aggregat- ing 30,000 acres, for $204,000. The Fort Berthold’ Indians have ceded 208,000 acres for $260,000, to be paid in stock, cattle and agricultural implements, after setting aside $50,000 for a poor fund and paying out $54,000 per capita. The Rosebud Sioux have ceded 416,000 acres in Gregory county, South Dakota. The Red Lake Indians in Minnesota have ceded 256,152 acres for $1,000,000. The Devil’s Lake Indians in North Dakota have ceded 104,000 acres at about $3.30 per acre, to be paid in cash, $145,000 down and the balance in ten annual payments of $20,000 each. Almost a Painful Scene. A disagreeable scene between well- known gentlemen was narrowly avert- ed in San Francisco the other night. It was after Mr. McGovern and Mr. “Young Corbett” had concluded their | momentous debate to the disadvantage of the former that the two gentlemen met in Mr. Corbett’s dressing-room. Mr. McGovern was impetuous and in- sisted on another encounter. Mr. Cor- bett was disdain*-'. “I hate you,” he said, “and I can beat you every day fm the week and twice on Sunday.” This so exasperated Mr. McGovern that it was with difficulty that the friends of the gentlemen could pre- vent them from coming to blows. , But He Won't Do It. ‘| Johnny’s mother had been anxious : to instill into the mind of her youth- ful son the necessity of reading at least a few verses from the Bible each day. She is anxious that her son should have a knowledge of the Bible as wel’ as other books; in fact, she thinks a reading of the great book. the best means of gaining a good understanding of English and history. The little fellow has been adding a verse through the Psalms, Proverbs and those books as he ad- vances in reading. The other even- ing he was reading in a particularly deliberate style when he came upon the passage, “Keep thy tongue from evil and thy lips from guile.” “Keep —thy—tongue—from—evil—and—thy lips—from—girls,” he drawled out, Flatiron Pincushion. One of the latest of kitchen utensils to take its place on the dressing table is the flatiron. which has been con- verted into a thing of ornament as well as use. Its use in the bedroom is that of a pincushion, and it is stood face outward, in the position in which good housewives put.away this kitchen | bric-a-brac. Of course it is only a flatiron in shape, for it is made of stout cardboard cut the shape of a small flatiron face. This is padded with cotton and covered smoothly with satin. A handle of heavy wire is added and wound with narrow ribbon, which is tied in bows where the handle joins the cushion part—Brooklyn Eagle. } Cures Diseases of Plants. By his method of feeling through the stems instead of the roots S. A. Mokrsezki, the Russian entorhologist, believes that trees and plants can be cured of disease and greatly stimulat- ed in growth. His special apparatus is intended to introduce salts of iron —either solid or in solution—into apple and pear trees, and he hes used it for applying chemical treatment to 800 fruit trees on the southern shore of the Crimea. The weak and dis- eased condition of the trees was | remedied, while an unusual develop- | ment followed. | | Australian Rabbits. | A few years ago the rabbit was the plague and dread of the whole pastoral class in Australia. Australians are learning now to turn the rabbit itself into a commercial asset. Twenty mil- | lions of Australian rabbit skins were | sold in London last year, while nearly | 3,000,000 rabbits frozen in their furs | were sent to the London market from | Victoria alone. The Australian rabbit jis thus s*fplying the tables of the United kingdom with food and the wardrobes of the civilized world with ornaments. 6 Hotel Savoy’s Immense Mirror. The Hotel Savoy in New York |} plumes itself upon the possession of the largest mirror in the world. Only two steamships of the ocean—one of them the Friesland, in which it came —have room in their holds to stow away such a large package. It is a little more than thirteen feet square and is nearly half an inch thick. To get this perfect plate five different glasses had to be cast. It was made at the St. Gabian glass-works in Paris. { Subscribe for the’ Herald Review.
