Spear was a political enemy of Mr. Stuart and filed a protest inst the payment of the clam. The jury gave a verdict in favor of $185, with interest trom September and costs of the case. It cost Itasca couuty about two hundred and fifty dollars to satisfy Spear’s spite.

It con- sists essentially of a steel tube about thirty inches long, with several parti- tions having orifices slightly larger, than the bore of a gun, and this tube is attached ia the front of the muzzle of a bayonet clasp whenever its -use is desired. On firing the gun the gases are retarded by each pantition : in turn, finally escaping without sound or smoke. With a knife at the end the 4uxiliary tube can be made to serve as a Bayonet. Chinese Fish Hatcheries. Those ever-ingenious peaple, the Chi- nese, are great at fish farming, and one of their little u.dges for hatching young fish is most ingenious. Taking a fresh egg they suck the contents through a tiny hole and refill the egg with the tiny eggs of the fish they want to hatch. The hole is then sealed up and the egg placed under a sitting hen. In a very few days the fish ova are so ‘far advanced that one has only to break the shell into mod- erately warm water and the little fish spring to life at once. - Historic House to Be Sold. York house, Twickenham, England, is now in the market, and will be sold at auction soon. It was named after James Il., when duke uf York, and in it were born two princesses, Mary and Anne, who béth afterward became queens of England. The house, standing in beautiful grounds on the banks of the Thames, has many his- torical asseciation and, according to tradition, Lord Clarendon wrote some of his essays in the garden walks. Italy’s Macaroni Industry. Italy has some 5,5@0 macaroni fae tories employing nearly 25,000, A number of these factories are large, | using improved machinery and steam power. The total annual output of macaroni exceeds 215,000 tons. It is a growing industry. The local con- sumption, as well as the exports, in- crease steadily. The exports of maca- roni in 1889 were 7,719 tons; in 1900, $,898 tus; in 1901, 9,673 tons; in i902, 11,322 tons; and in 1903 (eight months), 13,126 tons. Nearly ov per cent of the above experts went to the United States. L . bi DEFECTIVE PAGE “here may be those of higher rank, s pos Expert Traces Intemperane proper Feeding. “There is a cause for the érink hab- it which even good Christian parents do not understand,” says a writer in ‘What to Hat. “They cannot realize why their children, with Leautiful sur- roundings and- daily Christian influ- ences, sometimes, go far astray, be- coming sadly immoral, and in many instances drunkards. When they, as well as many of the physicians, shall haxe exhausted all other efforts to lo- ate the cause of the trouble, let them look to the stomach—the poor, abused stomach—and they will, in all proba- bility, find the source of the evil. | From infancy many of the little ones are given food beyond the capacity of | their digestive organs. As soon as several teeth have appeared, meats are frequently a part of the bill. of fare. ‘Bhese, as well as the other ar- ticles of food, are necessarily swal- lowed without proper mastication. Pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar and highly seasoned salads also find their way into these young and tender stomachs until, as the result of such a diet, fermentation sets in and a little distillery is created in these youthful temples. Under such conditions a child becomes irri- table, quick tempered, untruthful, and it-would be surprising if it grew up to noble manhood.” PREPARE FOR LONG FASTS. Nature Takes-Good Care of Animals That Hibernate. A large number of species of ani- mals undergo more or less prolonged and continuous fasts during the pe- riod of their winter or summer sleep. During such slumbers the more active functions of the body are to a great extent suspended, while those that are carried on act slowly and entail com- paratively little waste of tissue and energy. Moreover, before the period of the winter torpor or hibernation takes place, many animals, such as bears, accumulate large stores of fat on various parts of the body, whi suffice to supply all the waste entailed by the respiratory function during the period in question. Fat is also ac cumulated by the mouse-lemurs of Madagascar previous to th sleep, or aestivation, and u in a similar manner, their n sieeps being undertaken for the pur- pose of avoiding the season of great heat and drought, when food is dif ficult or impossible to procure. | fe to Im- “An Sin, Esquire.” By way of corroborating my view that the title “Esquire” is utterly de void of, meaning, one of my readers mentions Zzapore, where be has r even years, it is not only universally bestowed en / every white man, but al: upon, the wealthier Chinese and Asiatics. h Sin, Esq.,” looks and sounds well. Il will surely lend an additional attrao- tion to life in a Rand mine or com- pound when the Celestial knows that the wealth he amasses out of kis “av- erage minimum” wage will entitle him 4o such a designation.

The grouse has a hundred tricks c! defense: It will lie still unt!l the hunter is within a yard of it, then soar straight upward in his front, towering like a woodcock; again, it will rise forty yards away, and the sound of its wings is his only notice of its pres- ence. It will cower upon a branch under which be passes, and hés cap will not be more than a foet below it as he goes, and though it has seen him approaching it will remain quies- cent in fear until his back is turned It will rus then, and when he has s}ewed himself hurriedly around he will catch only a glimpse of a brown, broad wing far away. One of Corea’s Superstitions. Near the city of Seoul, the capital of Corea, is a hill called Pouk Haa, which was formerly covered with trees. The legend runs that so'long as a tree remained on the hill so long will Corea maintain its independence, and therefore no one is allowed to cut or touch a tree. But the natural consequence of this want of forestry has been that the trees have gradually died off, until now only one is left. On this one tree it is believed that the fate of the country rests, and when it goes Corea as an independent state will go with it. My Queen.

Counted His Grandmother. When some surprise was expressed that a small boy should prefer to go for a summer outing to the sleepy yil- lage where Ais mother lived as a little girl, instead of to the seashore with its “attractions,” the little fellow re plied: “I count my grandmother.” Jy the plans of many families at this season of the year “counting ‘the grandmother” plays an important part, Her welcome arms form for the child “the first line of reserves,” to use. a pilitary phrase.—Youth’s Comnsai¢n, ‘Henry Hughes & Co.
