Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter,’ NAPOLEON AT ST. HELENA, Great Conqueror Bitterly Resented Banishment to Island. What Napoleon thought of his ban- ishment to St. Helena may be gath- ered from the following protest: “The idea of it is a perfect horror to me. Te be placed fer life on an island within the tropics, at an im- mense distance from any land, cut off from all communication with the world and everything that I hoid in it! —c’est pis que le cage de fer de Tam- erlan. (It is worse than Tamerlane’s cage.) I would prefer being deliv- ered up to the Bourbons. Among oth- “er insults,” said he—‘“but that is a mere bagatelle, a very secondary con- sideration—they style me general! They can have no right to call me general; they may as well call me archbishop, for I was head of the church as well as the army. If they do not acknowledge me as emperor, they ought as first consul; they have sent ambassadors to me as such; and your king, in his lezters, styled me brother. Had they >< afined me in the Tower of London, or one of the fort- resses in England (though not what I had Loped from the generosity of the English people), I should not have so much cause for complaint; but to banish me to an island within the tropics! They might as well have signed my death warrant at once, as it is impossible a man of my habit of body can live Jong in such a climate.” <——“The Surrender,” by Admiral Mait- jJand. LIKE ANY OTHER TEA. Nothing Wonderful in Mixture That Brought About Revolution. A little Western girl visiting Boston for the first time was told that the museum actually contained some of the historic tea that was thrown into Boston harbor in 1773. Nothing else in Massachusetts so appealed to the little maid’s imagina- tion, and she straightway became in- tensely desirous of seeing the article that had made so much trouble and about which she had heard so much in school. An obliging uncle under- took to gratify this modest, wish, but was greatly surprised at the outcome. As the child gazed at the famous relic, her eyes slowly filled and finally overflowed with tears. “Why, my dear!” exclaimed the as- tonished uncle. “What in the world is the trouble?” “It 1--looks like any other old tea,” sobbed the disappointed little girl— The Sunday Magazine. Failacy Regarding Bread. The fallacy that the whiter the bread the higher iis quality, seems to prevail all over the world, and the demands for snow-white- flour have been answered by the production of a flour which is robbed of considerable’ of its nutritive value. There are vari- ous ways of accomplishing this object, but the newest and most novel pro- cess for that purpose comes from France. Here the dough has been treated with ozonized air, and the effect was that while the bread was much whiter than the untreated the quality of the bread was very much impaired. Both ihe taste and the amount of nourishment were very much inferior.

Inquire of Mrs. John Philips. ana, founded in 1640, better known. contain many quaint and unusual sto les of the early life of the town. At the entrance to York Harbor a bold promontory known as Stage Neck from which formerly in stormy weath er a temporary light in the form of a lantern hoisted upon an upright ‘pole was displayed as a warning to mari ners. « an acy One dark winter night a sloop was wrecked on these rocks. “A survivor, on being questioned about the catas- trophe, said: “The vessel struck, turned over on her side, and the skipper and another barrel of whiskey rolled overboard.” The locae coroner was summoned, and this somewhat startling verdict was returned: “We find that the deceased fell from the masthead and was killed; he roll- ed overboard amd was drowned; he floated ashore and froze to death and the rats eat him up alive!”—Harper’s- Weekly. : GOOD ADVICE FOR ALL. Cultivate Calmness if You Wish Health and Happiness. A beautiful woman gave the follow- ing advice to a girl admirer: “Shield your nerves and don’t let thera become too sensitive. Make yourself take life calmly. If you lose a train don’t pace the platform wildly, but inquire when the next comes in, and sit down calm- ly to. wait for it. That's just what most women don’t do; they sit down, perhaps, but they tap the floor with their feet, clinch and unclinch their hands, and are apparently in a fever heat of excitement over the arrival of | every train that comes in, even though they have been assured that theirs is not due for another half hour. That half hour of waiting means to them a frightful wear and tear of nerves and they are practically weeks older for it. Try to cultivate calmness, bu:, if you cannot do that all at once, you can keep your face still.” “Dog Trot” a Misnomer. “Dogs have a variety of gaits,” said the boss of the kennels, “therefore 1 can’t understand why it is that peo- ple who describe a certain style of locomotion always call it a dog trot. Judging by the universality of that expression, a° body would think that a dog never moves any other way than on a trot. But he does. All the gaits belonging to other four-footed animals are also his. He runs, he lopes, he even racks and paces, so when a person in a hurry falls into a peculiar kind of canter, there would be just as much sense in speaking ot his, gait as a dog run or a dog gal- lop, once in a while, as always to call it a dog trot.” Forest of Dwarf Trees. The most extraordinary forest in the world is one discovered by Dr. | Welwitsch, which occupies a table- land some six miles broad, at a height of 300 feet or 400 feet above the sea, near the West Coast of Africa. The trunks ‘of the trees of this peculiar forest are 4 feet in diameter, and yet “they only attain a height of 1 foot, giving the tree the appearance of a round table. There are never more than two . leaves, which attain a length of 6 feet and a breadth of 2 feet, the. flowers forming crimson clusters. is AE TE BE aS Stay, Stay at Home.

Training for the Bride to Be. A young society girl of this city who is to be one of next fall’s brides, in order to prepare herself to take charge of her own home, has been given the entire management of her parents’ home. \Her mother is almost like a boarder in the house. The young bride to be orders the meals, pays the pew rent in church, pays for the newspapers and periodicals—in short, she has the handling of all the expenditures of the home. One thing is certain, this girl has ‘a wise mother, and the result of the tratning in home management cannot but be successful, —Nelvaka. Mass..

We are apt to overestimate tha | value of an education gotten from books alone, A large part of tho value of, a) college education comes from the social intereourse of the stu: | dents, the re-inforcement, the buttress- ing of character by associaticn. Their faculties are sharpened and polished by the attrition of mind with mind, and the pitting of brain against brain, which stimulate ambition, brighten the ideals,.and open up new hopes and possibilities. Book knowledge is valuable, but the knowledge which comes from mind intercourse is in- yaluable—O. S. Marden in Success. Curiosity of Birds. Birds. however wary, are curious, and will, approach a “strange object at the risk of their lives, as wild-fowl shooters know. A singular instance of curiosity is now reported of a goose in a small village of the Duchy of Baden. When the “garde-champetre” rang his bell and read his decrees to the assembled peasants, a white and black goose, eccentric by its intelli- gence, perhaps a goose of genius, left the flock and planted itself before him, | and listened with lofty and solemn stare peculiar to geese, human or otherwise. When the crier moved on “he goose followed, and only returned to its companions after the round was made. It continued this attention-for some months.—London Globe. Cotton Growing in Paraguay. Cotton has been cultivated in Para- guay for many years, but hitherto lit- tle or’ no attempt has been made to export it. In the last year, however, considerable interest has been mani- fested in this product by cotton deal- ers and experts who have visited tlfe country. Samples forwarded to .the United Kingdom have met with con- siderable approval, and one shipment to Manchester was pronounced “very good standard quality.” Paraguayan cotton is said to resemble the Egypt yan variety. Besides the white varie- ty, there is also a colored cotton. The prices obtained for Paraguayan cot- ton in Europe are 5d a pound for the white variety and 6d for the red— Lendon Engineer. e miners of the’ wonda y watks g My net my midnight hours defend.

When a maiden is betrothed in Ger- many she is called “bride” by het sweetheart, who addresses her thus until it becomes time to call her “wife.” Immediately upon betrotha: the lovers exchange rings, which, i the cdurse of true love runs smooth ; are to be worn ever afterward until death. parts them. her betrothal ring on the third : =-er of her Jeft hand until she is married, and then if ts transferred to the third finger of her right hand. The hus- | band continues to wear the ring just as the wife wore hers when she was-a “bride,” so that one can easily tell at a glance if a man be or be not mort- gaged as to his affections. Memorials to Americans. Many American boys and girls visit Europe nowadays, but perhaps few even of these fortunate young folk are aware that the greatest of Eng: lish cities contains memorials to five distinguished Americans—a President, philanthropist. These five great men are Abraham Lincoln, James Russell Lowell, Henry Wadsworth Longtfel- ; low, Matthew Simpson and Gecrge Peabody—five names written high in the Hall of Fame, names immortal in lite and letters, names forever illus- trious in character ‘and achievement. —St. Nicholas. Bird Sentry on Guard. I was interested on Sunday in watch- ing the movements of birds. Crumb- fing a biscuit, I threw it out, sat down on the piazza and awaited results. It and helped themselves before a cat appeared. Then a warning note was sounded by a bird, evidently on guard on the top of the piazza, where he could survey the whole scene. At his warning every bird “disappeared _and remained in hiding until a reassuring | mote was heard from the little sentry posted on the piazza roof.—Boston Record. on About Beoks. But for the art’ of reading there never would have been any books.

The natives of certain parts of In- dia are in the habit every year, in the summer, of digging the dry river banks for fish, which they dig out by hundreds, just as they would pota- toes. The mud lumps are broken open, and the fish, perhaps 8-in. or 10-in. long, will aiways be found alive, and often frisky, as if just removed from its supposedly native element~ the water. et Grand Rapids VillageLots ing them on such easy the matter over. — A hc REISHUS-REMER EE SEE ee ae ee A a RAE HE HE HE EE EE ee Ee A ae ea a ae (EE eae Agee ae ae ate EE ae RE a eae Ee eee ea ae ae eae ae ee ae ee a a aE EEE We have choice residence lots all over town and we are sell- down and $5 per month is certainly easy.
