| } Development of Northern Munne- sota, which has been the favorite game of the north country press for several years, has spread out now un- ul it covers the state, and “state dev- elopment” is the cry., ‘That 1s’ good. It cannot spread too far. — It cannot gel into too many political plattorms, nor there be too many candidates and newspapers supporting it, State development includes develop- ment of Northern Minnesota, since it is most in need of development, but ithas many other aspects. For in- stance, it has lately been discovered that while Minnesota makes to the best butter im the world, Eastern dealers put Eastern labels on it, so 1ts fame is circumscribed. ‘There is now in pro— spects a campaign to give Minnesota butter the f:me it deserves. In Northern Minnesota develop- ment means drainage of state swamp | Jands, the sale of state lands, and hetter roads. In other parts of the! st it means the development of local industries. ‘There ts not ‘a part of the state that is not susceptible of development; not a county whose promises and possibilities aré not yreater than its achievements.

Those were the days, too, of heavy silken hangings, valances and quilts, all richly embroiJered in silk and gold and silver thread with heavy bullion fringes to add weight and ma- jesty. Such beds may be seen in some of the valuable collections at the museums and at English country seats, such as Warwick castle and other notable old places. To modern eyes they compare very unfavorably, despite their intrinsic value, with the simple, dainty beds of modern times. DREW ADMIRATION OF RUSKIN. Alpine Bird Compeiled Thought of Writer and Philosopher. While among the dark, piney preci- pices of the Chartreuse bills, one day, the famois John Ruskin saw for the third time what he thought the most wonderful of all Alpine birds—a gray, fluttering, stealthy creature, about the size of a sparrow, but of colder gray and more graceful, which haunts the sides of the fiercest terrents. He wrote: “There is something more strange in it than in the sea-gull— that seems a powerful creature, and the power of the sea not of a kind so adverse, so hopelessly destructive. But this smaji creature, silent, tender and light, almost like a moth in its low and irregular flight, almost touch- ing with its wings the crests of waves and haunting the hollows of the biack, cold, herbless rocks trat are continu- ally shaken by their spray, has per- haps the nearest approach to the lcok of a spiritual existence I know in ani- mal life.”” The Humming Bird. Scientifically humming birds are “trochilidae,” and those who make a special study of them are “trochi>- diste’—although the birds are not identical with the old Greek “trochi- lus” or “runner” bird, which, accord- ing to Herodotus; enters] the laws of the sleeping crocodile and obliged its big friend by picking leeches from his throat. Tho Spanish name for the humming bird is “tominejo”—meaning a third of a dram, and referring, of course, to the bird’s minuteness. ut the prettiest names are taose, such as the French “froufrou,” which refer to the humming noise sometimes pro- duced by the almost incredibly rapid vibration of,the wings. “Purring with her wings’ is the expression of ‘Thomas Morton (1¢32), the first Eng- lish writer to mention’ the humming bird. Arctic Expedition Amusements, In the British arctic expedition of 1875 one of the chaplains had a file of the Louden Times twenty years old containing the Crimean war reports. One copy was given out to each ship daily; the officers had it first, then it went.to the forecastle, and soon every one was as keen about the news as if the war had becn proceeding. The clergyman in control of the press was besought to issue an evening edition, and when Sebastopol was about to be taken excitement ran so high that the newspaper office, a locker, was almost stormed. The editor, however, was firm, and continued with his daily is- sue, the interest bei-¢g kept up to the Subscribe for the Herald-Review.

Pettygrove of Seattle has Portland, Ore. On the toss of this coin ‘depended the question whether known as Portland or Boston. Twice the coin turned “tails,” and the town was named after Portland, Me., the former home of Mr. Pettygrove’s father. ‘ A. L. Lovejoy of Massachusetts, a member of the party that laid out -| Portland, desired to name it Boston, after the most important city in his state. Pettygrove wanted to name it Portland, after the most’ important city in Maine, his native state. They agreed to toss a penny, heads to be Boston, tails to mean Portland, the best two in three to be the choice. Pettygrove won the first toss; Love- joy won the second, and the third proved to be tails, and Portland it was. “The younger Pettygroye still has the identica: penny and “would not “take any amount of money for it.

Andrew, the war governor of Massachusetts, wrote a_ letter to Edwin Stanton, President Linceln’s secretary of war, in behalf of a cou- ple of lovers, one on the field in the Twelfth Massachusetts volunteers, and the-other a young woman at the home of her parents, not many miles from | Newton. Military necessity separated the young peozle, and prevented them | from join'1¢ hands in marriage. The soldier had four times asked for a fur- | lough, each time to be refused. The war department refused the young woman permission to go to the front, even in company with her brother, to | solemnize the betrothal, and to per- | mit the wife to share the lot of the | husband. The young woman then wrote an appeal to the governor, which he forwarded gp the secretary ‘of war, with this indorsement: “This case appeals to all our sym- pathies, as patriots and gentlemen, and I appeal to the chivalry of the department, of war, which presides over more heroes than Homer ever dreamed of, and better and braver men than his muse ever sung. I pray you to grant this request of my fair correspondent, and generations will rise up and call us blessed.”—Boston Herald. MANY YEARS OF LAZOR LCST. — a Book. itor men to spend muca taought and toil over inventions of one sort and another, only to find when they took these things to Washington to be pat- ented that the same ideas had long | before been worked out by somebody | else and that patents had already been issued on them. I had that ex- | perience, once, with a beok. \ “I spent fourteen years, once, writ- . ing a book and I had it all but com- pleted. And then one day, stopping at a second-hand book stall, I picked up from among a lot of books offered at five cents each one that bore a title in the very words that I had decided ¥ upon for the title of my book; and the | opening sentence in this book was al- | most identical with that in my own. “Somebody else had had the same idea that I had worked over so long, and had written and published a book about it fifty years before.” Hopping From World to World. Few children reach the age of 8 years without having worked out a cosmology of their own and their own system of metaphysics. A group of youngsters of that mature age were. { going home from school the other day | when one began to instruct the others what to do in case of a certain crisis. “When the end. of the world comes .- do you know what you want to do?” asked the manikin.. “Well, you want to give a dittle jump like this.; The ~~ world will slip out from under you and you'll light on the one 2 followin’ it and be all right.”
