Good Blankets Very Cheap. We want to reduce the stock§to its proper equilibrium; it’s a little top-heavy just now, We know that prices are a most important factor in a movement of this kind, and al- though we are not selling the goods below cost, as you are often led to believe, the largest part of the profit goes to you as an inducement to buy. We wantto start next season without a “carried-over” Blanket — that’s why. ” ” se, _—— H. Marr. CONFUSION IN DRAMATIC CLUB. Only One Point on Which the Actors Were Agreed. In the old days in the town of Lit- tleton, Mass., there used to be a dra- matic club, which included many prominent men. Once a play was be- ing given in whic’ Judge Bellows. & courtly gentleman of the old school, and a certain Dr. Sanger were in the east. In the middle of the play all forgot their parts. The prompter had fost his place, and the players were in cespair. The audience began to gig- gle, and the players looked appealing- ly at once another At the end, at the very cenoument of the play, Judge Eellows was sup- posed to exclaim, “I know not ~hat to say.” In his confused state of mind this. line happened to come to him, and he gasped: “I know not what to say!” And Dr. Sanger, small and peppery, snapped: “Well, I'll be hanged if I do.” Whence the Name “Tiger.” It is reported that when the prince of Wales shot a tiger in India awhile ago, the beast charged him at full speed. In so doing the tiger was do- ing its best to live up to the name of its kind. Tigers are so called because of the swiftness of their movement, especially in springing “pon prey, “tighri” being the old Persian word for an arrow. Hence it comes about that the beast'and the ‘River Tigris have the same name. There is no direct connection between them, but in both cases their swiftness was the characteristic that impressed the early name givers. The tiger's name is thus, perhaps, nearly as superior in nobility to the hyena's, as the one beast 1s to the other, since “hyena” is merely Greek for “sow.” Ingenious Plea Made by Rascal. “Nobody is worried nowadays by the fact that the twelfth month of the year is called the tenth—December,” says a writer, “and no doubt even the ancient Romans soon got used to the anomaly when the new year was shifted back from March to January, though the old names of the months were retained. But there war one of them who made ingenious use of it— Licintus, a rascally procurator at Lyons under Augustus. He insisted on having certain monthly payments made fourteen times a year, arguing, when December came round, that, as it was the tenth month of the year, and there ought to be twelve, there must be two more to be accounted for.” —————————_—_—_—— New Light on Ballooning. In a French School the boys were asked to write on the invention of balloons. “Balloons were invented,” wrote one, “by the Brothers Montgol- fier, who were papermakers. They took a large balloon and filled it with paper. They then set light to the paper and the balloon went up.” An- other boy wrote: “When the aero- stats—such being the name given to men who ride ‘n balloons—wish to come down, they fetch some sand and gravel and put it in the balloon.” A third boy informed his examiners that - “the aeronaut places himself within the balloon, the basket being used for provisions.” Nature's Panoramic Display. A marvelous display of atmospheric refiection peculiar to the Alps was wit- nessed the other day by passengers in the Paris-Frankfort express. Shortly after leaving Metz a wonderful pano- rama developed in the horizon on the western side. ‘The sun seemed to light up the whole Alpine chain, the great mass of Mont Blanc stood out clearly marked, its sides covered with snow and its, glaciers reflecting the sun- beams. At one, moment the lake of Geneva was visible, its water tinged a greenish blue. The mirage faded only at sunget, as the train neared Faulque- mont. It had lasted about twenty min- ates. BELLS OF “MERRIE ENGLAND.” Peals Stiii Rung Have Significance From Olden Times. i In some parts of the country the | bell which tolls the old year out is | called the “Old Lad’s Passing Bell.” iIn western England the bells peal ! merrily on “Oak Apple Day,” to cele- , brate the escape of King Charles at ‘Boscobel. Another bell, rung at the beginning of Lent, is known as “Pan- cake Bell,” because in old-time phrase, it “summons people away from their | Pancakes to confession and fasting.” | A lively peal of bells is often rung ‘at the end of the Sunday morning ser- vice and is called “Pudding Bell.” Per- haps its purpose is to announce to the stay-at-homes that service is over and that the pudding may come out of the oven. Every night at five minutes past 9, “Great Tom,” the great bell of Christ church college at Oxford, booms out | its ponderous note 101 times. This | Particular number was chosen in accordance with the number of stu- dents at the foundation of the col- lege.—Youth’s Companion. POINTS OF THE PILES BURNED. Remarkable Case of Spontaneous Ig- nition Recently Noted. A remarkable case of spontaneous ignition that recently occurred in erecting the walls of the new Retter- dam quay is related by the Technische Dundschau. i Rams had been in use there for some time, which by 180 or: 200 strokes per minute caused ‘a steady advance of the piles. The foundation was such that the pillars had to be driven through the quicksand down to the solid ground. On withdrawing some piles, the | points of the latter were found, owing to the enormous friction, to have been charred entirely and heated to such a point as to begin burning spontaneously on coming in contact with the air; nor could iron shoes prevent this spontaneous ignition. When leaving the piles in the ground this ignition would not result in any damage, the charring remain- ing confined to the surface, and the heat being rapidly carried away in the moist surroundings. OLD PLACE WAS GOOD ENOUGH. Comprehensive Reason Why Citizen Came Home. ‘ “Squire” Lord, of local fame in Ef- fingham, N. H., fifty years ago, had accumulated, by-all sorts of methods, a fortune for the times and place. Keeping the country store, being p! . tically the “bank” of those part And | increasing wealth beyond expenditures had nourished an ambition to live in a place larger and with more social opportunities than the little- village af- forded. So he packed up one autumn, took a house in Portland, which was the town o’ the world to country peo- ple then, and with his family started in to cut a dash. bs To his chagrin, he found he was one of many in that place, and not a scrape or bow was coming his way. ristmas saw him back, bag and baggage, in Effingham, and that even- ing in his store, to the inquiry of one of the village loafers, “Why'd ye.come back, squire, ‘fore you'd calculated?” he replied: “T've had enough of that place. Yer see, I'd rather be a king among hogs than a hog among kings.” Wouldn’t Take the Office. Patrick Plunkett, a well-known Irish- man of Portland, Me., wished to be elected an officer of some well-known society. The members having as- sembled one day, he arose and said: “Tnominate Patrick Plunkett.” See- _ ing that nobody moved, he again arose , and said: “I second the motion.” But | still they failed to notice him. This time he cried out: “But be d—d if ll take it.” YEARS ARE _AS WE MAKE THEM. Milestones Need Frighten None But the Foolish. I have very little regard for the fight against Time which spends it- self on a strife with gray hairs and wrinkles. There used to be a picture published as an advertisement in which an elderly woman had one side of her face all ironed out smoothly, while the other was wrinkled and worn. The wrinkled side was the more pleasing. As we grow older every line in the countenance should tell a story of loving deeds. We are making for ourselves in .youth the masques we shall wear to the very end. Every fretful, discontented, dis- satisfied expression writes itself upon the face so that the sweetest and ripest natures will have the rarest loveliness when they grow old. A woman is as old as she looks, and as old as she feels. A sign of our in- creased health and vitality to-day is found in the fact that a woman of fifty looks about as old as a woman formerly looked at thirty-five, and many an active woman of eighty has the vigor that was.formerly common at sixty. The milestones need fright- en nobody. Older people are no longer put {n a corner, nor are they expected to hug the chimney corner. It is a woman’s obligation to be charming to her latest day.—Mar- garet E. Sangster in Woman's Home Companion. Annual WELL NAMED CANNIBAL PLANT. Nicaraguan, Vegetable That Preys on Living Objects. On the shores of Lake Nicaragua is to be found an uncanny product of the vegetable kingdom known among the natives by the expressive name of “the devil's noose.” How delighted Poe would have been to make this cannibal plant the subject of one of his weird stories! Dunstan, the naturalist, discovered it not long ago while wandering on the shores of the lake. Attracted by cries of pain and terror from his dog, he found the animal held by black, sticky bands, which had chafed the skin to the bleeding point. These bands were branches of a newly dis- covered carnivorous plant which has been aptly named “the land octopus.” The branches are ‘flexible, black, polished, without leaves, and secrete a viscid fluid. They are also furnished with a great number of suckers, with which they attach themselves to their victims. It certainly deserves to be classed as the octopus of the vegetable world.—New York Herald. Vitality of the Ant. Ants have a wonderful power of ex- isting long periods after losing im- portant parts of their bodies which are not reproduced. They have been known to live two weeks without the abdomen, which is so bulky, in propor- tion to the rest cf the insect. Under the most favorable circumstances an ant may lve more than a month after its head had been cut off. One case is recorded in which the rest of the ant moved about forty-one days after decapitation. Ants also revive after being submerged in. water for many days, although they seem to be dead a@ few minutes after they are im- mersed. What Man Does Not Want. ‘Woman has cause to be grateful for the publication of a volume dealing with feminine logic, for it forms, per- haps, the first tangible recognition that such a quality exists in the mind of the sex. But she is not thereby to be flattered into the belief that it will raise her intellectual status in mascu- line estimation. Man does not want the logical woman; as a logician he is too often conscious that che is the only safe receptacle of his wisdom, and when he informs her that his argu- . ments are “sound logic,” he expects, and always will expect, her to believe him.—Lady’s Pictorial. A Depressing Object. The bridegroom is generally the most depressing feature of the mod- ern wedding. If he is well off he is either bald, with a decided tendency to adipose tissue, or else of a pale sandy type, with equally pale eyes and a retreating chin. In ordinary life he wears spectacles, which at the request of the bride he discards at his wed- ding, with the result.that he stumbles over the last step leading from the chancel to the altar aisles, and is only saved from falling flat on his face by desperately clutching at the bride’s bouquet—Ladies’ Field. Nicknames of Presidents. A number of Grant’s nicknames arose from his initials. Unconditional Surrender. probably attained the wid- est popularity. The press of his day manufactured not a few U. S. sobri- quets, like “Unprecedented Strategist, Undaunted Stalwart, and so on. The soldiers called him Old Three Stars, and he was also styled Hero-of Appo- mattox. Garfield did not, of course, become the . Martyr President until after his tragic death. He was also styled the Preacher President, from his early calling. Surprise for a Clergyman, It is on record that the pastor of the only Catholic church in a small town in Eastern Massachusetts was obliged to raise some money for re- pairing the church. Finding that his appeals met with little response, he decided to make a tour of the parish and solicit contributions. The local Mrs. Partington saw him approach the house, and, going to the door, she @reeted the astonished gentleman with: “Come right in, revenue father.” ‘cloth wants care, WAY PIPE SHOULD SE LIGHTED. Subject of Vastly More Importance . There has been a little newspaper | discussion recently on the subject of “How to Light a Pipe.” This may seem to the feminine mind, a trivial matter, and quite beneath the notice of any dignified journal. How wrong! For a pipe ill-lit is a pipe ill-smoked, and a pipe ill-smoked is a man made testy, and a man made testy is a man looking out for trouble, and a man looking out for trouble is a mam finding trouble, and a man find- ing trouble is a woman in tears, and a woman in tears is the last word in hu- man dreariness. Never let us be ashamed to inquire, then, how a pipe may be lit with the utmost satisfac- tion to the smoker. One paper, I see, recommends spills. | That is good, but the spills, of course, must be wooden ones. Another paper retorts that spills are of no sort of use to the man in the train. This is the kind of frightfuily true thing that causes a hush in the noisiest assembly.. What, then, should the man in the train do? I will tell him. He should carry a box of wooden matches, aad he should use exactly two matches to light his Pipe. The first one will dry the to- bacco on the surface, and the second one will produce the vivid, even glow beloved of smokers. The man, by the way, who lights his pipe with a wax match is a bad man right from the start. Never trust him, dear friend.—Sketch. TAR AND FEATHERS LONG AGO. Ordered by Richard Coeur de Lion as Punishment for Theft. We learn from the annals of the his- torian Hoveden, who was court chap- lain to Henry III, that the old custom of tarring and feathering is one that dates back to tho time of Richard the Lion Hearted. He tells us that this renowned king, on setting out for the third crusade, made this enactment among others, for his fleet: A robber who shall be convicted of theft shall have his head cropped af- ter the fashion of a champion, and boiling pitch shall be poured there- on, and the feathers of a cushion shall be shaken out on him, so that he may be known, and at the first land at which the ship shall touch he shall be set on shore. This, then, is one of several cus- toms which has been classed com- monly as “American,” while in truth, it originated with us, and was im- ported by them from Europe.—Tit Bits, London. Sent as Substitute For Meat. An odd incident occurred south of Seneca, in Faulk county, when, on a dark, stormy. night, while a family of homesteaders were lamenting their ill fortune of having no meat in the house they were startled to hear heavy thuds against the outside of the building, when investigation with a lantern disclosed the fact that wild éucks had flown against it and had fallen to the ground to be easily pick- ed up in their dazed condition. This settled the meat question, and there were some who figured that the ducks had been providentially misguided that night in their journey south. Milk Kills More Than War. Thus of a million babies born in France, 200,000 are lost annually by death. Of these the grand majority might be saved if only they were prop- erly treated and above all, thoroughly nourishe*. Statistics are witness to the fact that infant mortality is near- ly always due to malnutrition which in its turn is caused by milk of poor quality. Of a thousand nurslings that died before they were a year old, over a third on an average perish through digestive disorders. In some cities the average is far higher; in Nantes more than a half, in Troyes nearly four-fifths. How to Best Pack a Trunk. In packing a trunk use heaps of paper with tailor-made garments and pack them as much like a man’s suit as possible. Never forget that wrin- kle, and many other wrinkles will be avoided. And of materials. remember serge and most voiles pack magnifi- cently, alpaca always creases, faced cashmere does crumble, but soon shakes out. Vel- vet, of course, must never be creased at all; crepe de chine travels very well on the whole; silks vary, and anyhow, should be treated with discre- tion.—Household Companion. Brother Jinkins’ Misfortune. Says the Adams Eagle: “We are mighty sorry to report an accident that happened to Brother Jinkins last week—and it was one of the strangest accidents that ever happened in this settlement. While he was peacefully pulling off his shoes, previous to re- tiring for the night a cow—a fine Jersey cow—walked inte his room, which is on the ground floor, and bit off the calf of his left leg. Some of the neighbors seem disposed to be superstitious about it.” Order to Lewiston Hibernians. In Lewiston, Maine, lived a certain policeman who was also captain of the local company of Hibernians. On one occasion a street car approached while he was marching the com- pany along the street, and, as it seemed the proper course to pursue, ne decided. to execute the movement snown as “open order.” Turning to iis men, he shouted, im his most mar- vial tones: “Attention! Here comes the carr; company, schplitt!” oe OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF|STATE OF. MINNESOTA. COUNTY OF tasca—District Court, Fifteenth Judicial District. William D. Washburn, Jr.. Plaintiff. !
