Applicants for stone and timber jaims must hereafter make a second visit and examination of the claim yetore making final proof at the land itice, according to a new ruling hand- d down by the commissioner of the 1nd oftice at Washington to the land ttice at Duluth. a hundred proofs from the th land office have been held up jer the new ruling. Notice was ved today that additional evi- would be necessary before a inal certiticate for the claims could ve secured from Washington.

Under the new ruling it wouldseem that a second examination of the land by the applicant and his witnesses will be necessary, as under it the des partment asks for an affidavit at the time the final proof is made showing that the applicant and his witnesses have visited the land on the date or ibout the date that the proof is made. This will entail considerable addi- tional expense upon the applicant ind many protests concerning the ruling have been made. To some of the applicants who come from a dis- tance it will be almost impossible to make an examination of the land nearer than two weeks of the time the final proof is made.

Hartley Fitzgerald, Grand Rapids, Minnesota, TOMB OF THE THREE WISE MEN. Cologne Cathedta: Claims Remains of First Worshipers of Savior. In the cathedral church of Cologne is a large purple shrine spotted with gold and set upon a pedestal of brass, in the middle of a square mausoleum, faced both within and without with jasper. The shrine is said to contain the remains of the three wise men who went to Bethlehem in order to worship the newly born Savior and whose bodies, according to tradition, were discovered somewhere in the ‘East, brought to Constantinople and ‘nterred in the Cathedral of St. Sophia. When Eustorgius became bishop of Milan, the people of that city ob- tained the privilege of making Milan the resting place of the sacred relics. When Milan fell into the hands of Frederick Barbarosa (A. D. 1162), the induence of the archbishop of Co logne prevailed upon the emperor to allow the remains to be transferred to that city. They are generally call- ed the three kings of Cologne, and their names, which are Caspar, Mel- chior and Balthasar, are written in purple characters upon a little grats that is adorned with a remarkably large oriental topaz, and a profusion of pearls and precious stones. Over against the shrine are six large silver branches, perpetually Hluminated with wax candles. This celebrated shrine is said to be opened every morning, at 9 o'clock, when the wise men are seen at full length, each having on his ead an elegant crown of gold, richly garnished with jewels. GOT TRUE FACE OF COMPOSER. How Sir Joshua Reynolds Made Suc- cess cf Haydn Portrait. Sir Joshua Reynolds was once com- missioned to paint a portrait of Haydn, the celebrated composer. Haydn went to the residence of the painter and gave him a sitting, but soon grew tired. Sir Joshua would not paint 2 man of such genius with a stupid countenance and adjourned the sitting. The same weariness of ex- pression occurring at the next at- tempt, Sir Joshua communicated the circumstance to the commissioning prince, who contrived a stratagem. He sent to the painter’s house a pretty German girl in the service of the Queen. Haydn took his seat for the third time, and as soon as the conversation began to flag a curtain rose and the fair German addressed him in his native tongue with a com- pliment. Haydn, delighted, over- whelmed the enchantress with ques- tions, his counterance recovered its animation and Sir Joshua rapidly and wmceeasfully seized its traits. Spread of Leprosy.. Leprosy is increasing in both North and South America. Colombia, where there were only 400 lepers forty years ago, is said to have 46,000 now and many find their way into the United States. Such a medical authority as Dr. Ashmead, who was formerly chief medical adviser to the government of Japan, says the increase is alarming. When leprosy is brought into a new country it takes fifty years for the seeds to take root and it becomes epi- demic after some 200 years. It has been shown that mosquitos are active in transferring leprosy bacilli. —]— Attention. Attention has been the making of many an otherwise worthless man. Military men have long appreciated the value of attention; but our schools public and private, seem not to under stand the meaning of the term. The inattentive fellow is always going off half-cocked. Before giving an order to his men the officer shouts, “Ten- tion!” Once in a great while there is a commander who uses, the full word. “Attention!” Which invariably means “tension.” That is to bring a soldier to “attention” is to make him understand that his nerves must be on a erie his whole being must concern itself with the business in hand. He must not be wool-gather- ing. The man of the inattentive ear is a failure. CONFUSION !N DRAMATIC: CLUS. 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- lag given in whict Judge Bellows, a 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 wére in despair. The audience began to gig- gle, and the players looked appealing- ly at once another At the end, at the very denoument of the play, Judge Bellows 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” Alcohol! in Ancient Times, Considering the possible infiuence of alcohol upon human evolution, Dr. Harry Campbell assumes that such civilizations as those of Babylon and Egypt may date back 30,000 years and that agriculture by migratory tribes may extend back 30,000 years more, but concludes that the use of alcohol as a beverage has not been known more than 10,000 years. He finds no reason to believe that, as was “sug: ested some years ago, the discevery of fermented liquor gave the first civ- uig auickepina to the beaip ct ths ‘ IN “POSSESSION OF THE DEVIL, Peculiar Antics of Italian Boy Are ’ Thus Explained. A most wonderful medieval story is now occupying the attention of the south of Italy. In a small village there is a family of the name of Pan- sini, and if all be true that is writ- ten of it we may think ourselves in the Dark Ages again. There are two boys in this family, and they disap- pear occasionaky in a most mysteri- vus manner. In fact, a few minutes after they disappear they are found miles away. How they get there no one can tell. They say they are car- ried from place to place by the Holy Ghost. Spirits are also said to in- Rabit the house where they live; plates and glasses are broken before the eyes of all, aud cakes and sweets are showered over the boys’ beds when they are asleep. One of the boys falls in trances, when he speaks dif. ferent languages (even Latin and Greek) in a strange voice. He also spouts passages from Dante, and pro- phesies. Doctors and priests have visited him, but cannot discover the machinery which fs evidently at work somewhere. The last who visited him was a Jesuit father. At his approach the boy began to curse and swear and kicked him. The Jesuit says the boy is possessed by the devil!--Vanity Fair. COVEHE SHEE CSSS SHES HHH HE OO ee PROOF POSITIVE OF MISTAKE Frog Was There to Baek Up Assertion of Doctor. Many years ago Dr. Woodwarc, founder of the Woodward institute at Quincy, Mass. was much annoyed by a wealthy maiden ‘agy who was very positive she had swal- lowed a young frog and that it was growing in her stomach. After many attempts to disillusion ber, the doctor resorted to a strata- gem. He procured a medium-sized frog, and placing it in his pocket, vis- ited the patient and informed her that he proposed to remove the frog. He administered a powerful emetic. He then produced the frog, and she was very happy, and kept the frog as a souvenir. In less than a week he had an ur: gent call from the lady, who tearfully informed him that the frog had left one of its family in her stomach He took the frog, placed him on a table, and with kis microscope examined him long and attentively. At last, with a sigh of relief, he exclaimed: “Madam, you are mistaken; the ioe | ls a he one.”—Exchange. j Thought Tom Was Near at Hand. She is a devoted mother, whose lov- Ing attentions to her family have gir- en her little opportunity for keeping abreast of the world’s advancement. The eldest son had been absent from home for the first time, and the elder members of the family planned a@ surprise by placing her in telephone vommunication with him. After hear ing the votce of her boy through the receiver she could not believe that he was far away in Atlanta, Ga. as ke assured her he was. Dropping the instrument, she looked under the ta- ble and called out, “Now. ‘Tom, come out of there and stop your nonsense.” —Baltimore Sun. Wrong Time of Year to Die. Some forty or more years ago there resided in West Gloucester, Mass., the parents of a member of one ot Boston’s large jewelry firms. After much solicitation the son finally in- duced his mother to abandon her hum- ble home for his palatial one, but no amount of persuasion could make the | father come. Not long after the ehange the old lady died, in the month of July, and word was sent to her husband. The old gentleman took the letter to a neighbor, saying: “Wife’s dead; can’t go anyway: right in haying time. Why couldn't she have gone in January?” A Providential Fire. Here is a new view of providential interference in the affairs of this world: “Our neighbor, Abe Ingles, had six mortgages on his house and barn, and, as he couldn’t pay up, his creditors de- cided to foreclose him; but just before the bailiff arrived with papers a prev- idential fire broke out in the kitchen, and the house was burned to the ground. Then the bailiff, hastening to the scene, fell into a storm pit and broke his good leg and lost his wood- en one. How mysterious are the ways of Providence!”—Atlanta Constitution Avon Was Hard to Represent. ~° Some years ago W. L. Wilson, a na- tive of Avon, Conn., ‘was elected to represent his town in the state legis- lature. Avon, being at the head of the list of towns alphabetically, was always called first when a yea and nay vote was taken, and consequently Mr Wil- son, as its representative, was obliged to go on record first. Of this fact he wsed to complain bitterly, saying: “Avon is the hardest town in the state to represent, because you never can tell which way the majority is going to vote.” Louisa Alcott Survived. It. Miss Louisa M. Alcott was once visiting in a small town in Connectt- cut in which only a few days before an exceedingly small child had been born. In the course of conversation the child was spoken of, and Miss Al- cott_laughingly said: “I havé heard that I was a very small infant. In fact, tradition says that I could be put in a quart tankard and the cover replaced.” Qne old lady, who had been listening attentively, then asked, gympathetically: “And did you lve?"
