Magnetic Sand Bar in Norway. The fiction of the mysterious lodestone mountain which drew the nails out of ships that approached near enough has a certain foundation in fact, says a French paper, only the fact has suffered expansion. On the coast of Norway, near Jeopard Island, the dune dune of nearly three-quarter of a mile in length. The sand is mixed with particles of lodestone, and when a ship comes in the vicinity the compass becomes irregular and the vessel is entangled in a kind of whirlpool and ashore. Minnesota Forest Preservation DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1902. NECROLOGY. Last week death claimed one of our well known and pleasant citizens, Mr. John Wingo, who died very suddenly of heart and lung troubles last Friday morning at 310 Grand avenue. He had only lived here about five years, bst by affiably ways made friends. He came srom Omaha, Nebr., here, but had spent several years in Lincoln, where he was quite active in politics—having held several public offices—he also mixed some in politics here. He leaves two children, whom we understand lives in Illinois, and a mother and brother at Patterson, Ill., where a telegram was received from the latter asking that his body be sent there for burial, which was done. His relatives has the sympathy of his Des Moines friends. Died last week, Mr. W. H. Young, better known as "Pap" Young, after suffering a long time at the hospital. He got some better and left the hospital, but very soon the disease took a reaction and he succumbed. He was well known and generally liked. His remains were laid to rest in woodland cemetery. We forgot to mention in our last issue the death of Mr. John Smith, who died at the hospital hf pneumonia and, other complication of diseases. He had no relatives living here, but has many in Missouri, yet no one here seemec to know their post-office address, hence could not get communication to them. He was not a member of any church as was known, or any secret society, but kind friend took charge of the body and laid it away in Woodland cemetery. He was a hard working and industrious man. Mrs. Maggie Strange died at her home on Oak street Wednesday morning, after a lingering illness of several weeks. Her remains were taken to St. Louis, her former home, for burial. Mrs. Strange was a member of the Corinthian Baptist church. She has no relatives here, but leaves a host of friends. MILLIONAIRE DEAD. In Philadelphia Col. John McKee was a Real Estate Operator. Philadelphia, April 9.—Colonel John McKee, the wealthiest Negro in Philadelphia, is dead. His estate is estimated at about $1\frac{1}{2}$ million dollars. At one time he owned more than 1 million acres of land. He owned a restaurant in this city until 1866, when he retired and engaged in real estate operation. He was 81 years old. Philadelphia, April 10.—By the terms of the will of Colonel John McKee, said to have been the wealthiest Negro in the country, who died a few days ago. Archbishop Ryan of the archdiocese of Philadelphia, will come into the possession, as trustee, of an estate valued at upward of two million dollars. Colonel McKee owned nearly 400 pieces of real estate in Philadelphia, 4,500 acres of farm land in New Jersey and two hundred thousand acres of coal, mineral, oil and farm land in Kentucky, West Virginia and Illinois. He is survived by one daughter, Abbie A Syphax, who has five children living, and by Harry McKee Minton who is the son of a second daughter. This daughter is dead. The surviving daughter is cut off with an annuity of $300 and after her death her surviving children shall receive annuities of $10.00 each. Harry Minton is bequeathed an annuity of $50.00 and after the death of all the annuitants, the annuities shall revert to the residuary estate in the hands of the archbishops. The will specified that the residuary estate shall be used for two purposes: First to build a Catholic church, rectory and convent in McKee City, N. J. and second to build and maintain a Catholic institution in Philadelphia for the education of both white and colored male orphans, to be known as McKee College. The education of the beneficiaries of the will is to conform as nearly as possible to that given at the naval academy. The executives are directed to negotiate with the secretary of the navy for the use of a battleship or cruiser on which advanced pupila may be given their final training. MEN OF THE HOUR We shall write this week in article on the real men of the hour, who are doing a wonderful wor in their line of profession to raise tee standard of the American Negro to that equal to any people in America or Europe. One may read the long dry columns or the weary pages of white newspapers each day and seldom find mention about the progressive, conservative and steady going colored men, but on the contrary you will see in large bold type where some "nigger" has committed a crime, or stole something or in a shooting scrape. In brief something to humilate, ridicule and hold him up to the reading public as a criminal, a brute or something for people to be afraid of. Now we do not object to the publishing of worst side of our race if you will take the same time to hint the names of the hundreds of good, honest colored men who are leading an honest life and making good citizens. Why don't those white newspapers go to our churches, our societies, our clubs, our secret societies and our newspapers and there tell the public of the good side, as well as the bad; they do us an injustice. Why don't they tell us of some of the colored men of the hour like young Colridge Taylor of London, England, the Negro music composer, who is now writing music for the Episcopal church of England and stands in the class of Beeteven; Moryat Hayden, Scarlatti and Divorack. Why don't they tell us of Bishop Tanner's son in France studying art, and who has already produced some painting bought by the Royal Art galleries of Paris for $50,000.00. Then think of Rosco C. Bruce standing at the head of Harvard University in scholarship and oratory, will soon be valedictorian Then Prof. Scorborah of Wilberforce college, who is author of a Greek book that is used in Yale college. Then think of Able of the Pennsylvania University, who not only led his class but passed the highest examination that any man ever passed in the institution. Iowa is proud of her S. Joe Brown, who passed last year the highest examination in law of any ever sent from the Iowa Strte University. Why don't they mention Alexander Dumas and Paul Laurence Dunbar in the literary world. There is Booker T. Washington building up one of the largest industrial and normal institutions America has. There is Major Taylor, the world champion bicycle rider; saying nothing of the hundreds of other men of the hour—not even mentioning the men who have pioneered and blazed the way for our race to progress. Such men like Douglas, Bruce, Langston, Lynch, Pinchback, T. Thomas Fortune, Smalls Elliott, etc. Oh, if spice and time would permit we would give our readers a long list of those men of the hour. Next week we will mention a few of the women of she hour. COALSON RETAINED. Governor elect Cummins has announced that he intends to retain Mr. Wtliam Coalson as his messenger. Last January when Governor Cummins was installed into the office he made a complete change in the office force, save the stenographer and Mr. Coalson. While there were some opposing Mr, Coalson's re-appointment, yet there could not be one wore said against his work or awaist him as a christian gentleman. He is honest, courteous, gentlemanly and punctual. He knows his duties and always preform them in perfect satisfaction. He is a race man and his retention will be approved by the masses of coloree people of Iowa. Mr. Coalson is perhaps one of the best known race men and has a host of friends who will be pleased to hear of his appointment. MT. PLEASANT NEWS.

Wepreget to the Bystander diminished in size, due largely to the lack of san- port of its subscribers in a financial way. The paper is tended in years, the managers are doing the best they can understreetances to give them readers a credit, able now dispenses, but they cannot do much without money, therefore those persons who are delinquent to the cause should see to it at once that there obligations are cancelled by paying up there indebenedes, thus placing the paper on a stronger foundation, enabling the people who are at its head to give it new life and it may be the mean eventually of giving us a paper second to none not only in this state but in all states, help the race by helping to build up there enterprises, no business can prosper when carried on mainly on a credit basis.

Though Given the Opportunity, Mrs. Stanford Did Not Rent. Those who "pass the plate" in country churches are not often regulated with the glitter of gold among the contributions. It is related that about ten years ago Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford were traveling through the middle west in cognac. They happened to be in Bloomington, one Sunday, and pursuant to their usual custom went to church. They attended the Christian church of Bloomington, largely in the hands of Amzi Atwater. When the plate was passed for the collection Mrs. Stanford dropped in a $10 gold piece. Mr. Atwater was the deacon in charge of the collection-taking. It was noticed that the ushers held a hurried conference with him when the money was taken forward. At its conclusion Mr. Atwater said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there has evidently been a mistake. Some one has dropped a $10 gold piece into the collection, and the services we will be glad to allow him to exchange it for the amount he to give." It is, of course, needless to say that Mrs. Stanford did not take advantage of the opportunity. He Collects antique statuary. Stanford White is one of the largest collectors of antique statuary in America. Not only is his house in Grammar park, New York, a veritable museum, but also Roman art, but the lawn is now filled with other examples.

Toward the letter part of Dante Gebriel Rosettii's life he rarely left his house and garden and preferred to see his friends and acquaintances by appointment. Woe behind the too intolerable stranger. It is said that one day an entrepreneur man called, daily armed with a letter of introduction, and the servant was nearly yielding to the impulsive stranger, where on the painter of "Dante's Dream" in ad over the banker and said, in a firm, mellifluous voice, "Tell the gentleman that I am not at home." J. P. Morgan's Dream in Boyhood. "The dream of my boyhood days," observed J. Pierpont. Morgan to a friend recounted, "I was the finest stock in the world and had the dolescce far niente of the farmer's life was my fancy." "Well, you have your farm and your stock—to say nothing of stocks," retorted the friend. "Well, I am the man of all work, and I haven't got the dolescce far niente, and can't buy it either, big a price as I might be willing to pay for it"—New York Times. Follow Want to Keep Warm varied water pressure big oil tankers now Crown Brewery have appealed to the at Point Breese have appealed to the consults of their various countries for assistance to secure the electrical heating of the vessels, and have made threats to desert unless their condition is amiliorated. No fire of any kind is allowed on board of these vessels. Most of them have electric plants for lighting and the sails argue that heating arrangements can be installed cheaply. Gamblers Are Superstitious. Habitual gamblers are perhaps the most superstitious persons in the world. They invariably carry little portable mascots in their pockets, and it would be impossible to persuade them to enter into a game of chance if by some inadvertence their mascots were not with them. Lumps of lead, solns, snake rattles, locks of hair, saus, bits of bone, hairpins, are some of these charms. Fairy Tales Becoming Reality The century is beginning with the great achievement of wireless telegraphy. With what it will end pass the imagination of man if progress into the secrets and resources of nature continue at the same rate. We have already realized in common business life some of the wonders of the ancient fairy tales—Baltimore American. The Partridge Detested in Turkey. The Partridge Detected is Turkey. In Turkey, the partridge is detested because once it betrayed the prophet to his enemies, and its legs are red because they were dipped in the blood of Hassan. If a man kills a panther he is imprisoned for twenty-four hours and then is handsomely rewarded. The crane is respected and it is a crime to kill it.

Population's Rate of Increase. Such has been the increase in population in civilized countries that the space occupied by one person a century ago must now contain three. The curious custom of "telling the bees" is observed in some parts of nearly every country in the world. Those who observe the custom always go to the beehives and ask on each one, then stoop and whisper under the ear or lid that Mary, Jane, Thomas or William is dead. This done to keep the little honey minker from forming their place of abode should they have to wait and find out the news of the calamity themselves. The custom is alluded to in Whitier's poem "Telling the Bees."

It was indeed a pretty sight, if one could only overlook the disfiguration of the principals necessitated by their armament, and both men handled their raplers in tierce and guard with a elevenness that would have brought out cheers from an American audience to make the very rafters ring, while three score of Germans sat or stood around, watching every move, with a grim silence that was only broken by the clash of steel upon steel, or the sharp arrows of the umpire directing the affair. Those lights had never shone upon a more gallant fight, and each student hugged himself with delight because fortune had been kind enough to make him a witness to it. Those most experienced in such matters saw, however, that when ten enough in its way, but when she thanked him so sweetly, the mischief was done, for with the modest grace of those velvety brown orbs the little god of love had shot an arrow true to the mark, and ever since Paul had felt its point in his heart. Several times he had seen her since, and on each occasion had received a bow and a blush of recognition. But no more. However, on the occasion of their meeting, she had dropped a small "kerchief," which Paul had discovered, and love was on his way to her house to, he hoped, be definitely acquainted. He found the house readily enough, and was shown into a small, dimly lighted parlor where he was to await the coming of the lady of the house. It was just at this moment that his car caught the sound of laughter. It came from the next room, and was as merry and free from care as any sound he had ever heard—fresh, girlish laughter that quickened his pulse, since he could give a very good guess as to the source from whence it came. The temptations arise that there does not also appear the means of gratifying the desire, and in this case he noted the fact that the connecting door between the room in which he awaited the pleasure of the tardy aunt and the adjoining apartment was ajar. Utterly unconscious of what awaited him, he advanced gently toward the opening, and with eager eyes sought the object of his solicitude. Success immediately attended his efforts, for he discovered the nymph of the hazel leaf in the window, evidence for merriment, and as Paul turned his eyes toward her companion he saw that it was a man. The party's back was turned to him so that he could not discover whether he were young or old, comely or ugly, though he hoped the latter. While Paul stood there wondering what all the fun was about and chagrined to think he was not in it, the man faced about, and the American felt a cold chill chase up and down his spinal column when, amid the muffles of his breath, his hands shimister countenance of his bitter enemy, Conrad Hofman. Probably in all his adventurous life up to date young Rhinolander had never before experienced such a call as beset him when he made this astounding discovery, and saw his hated enemy apparently quite at home in the apartments occupied by Hildegarde and her aunt. The familiarity with which she received Conrad, the lack of conventionality, declared that they must be related in some way. And that he would follow? His very blood ran cold at the thought—this fair, angelic creature connected with ties of kinship to the family, father and son, whom he had such reason to curse? The idea was appalling. In that minute of time Paul had as severe a mental struggle as comes to meet men. He conquered his weakness, too, and resolved to meet the emergency just where he stood. There had been time to leave the house and avoid the encounter, but Rhlencander was not the man to shirk a duty, no matter at what expense to his feelings. And when the lady entered, presently, with apologies for keeping him waiting, Paul was himself again, resolved to play his part to the bitter end, no matter what the cost. After a few minutes' conversation the good lady begged him to excuse her for a brief interval, while she brought her niece into the room, saying she knew the thing people would be friendly since they seemed to have much views in common. The time, then, had come, the fatal moment which lasted a short white back he had been anticipating so eagerly, while now, alas, he dreaded it still more. He felt his courage oozing from his finger tips when Hildegarde entered with her aunt, and he saw the sudden wave of crimson that suffused her face and neck as she caught a first sight of him. Ah! that telltale color would have brought amazing satisfaction to Paul but for the wretched discovery he had made. He saw Hoffman, bandages and all, looming up in the doorway. Paul was quite composed and ready to give and take fully as cheerfully as he had done when, sword in hand, the Saxo-Prussian leader slashed and hewed in the endeavor to down him in the schlager combat of the arena, but Hoffman promised to enliven matters speedily enough. He was rapidly working himself up to a white heat, when an explosion would follow. Meanwhile the good lady of the house had introduced the young people and the last Paul might henceforth have the privilege of addressing Hildegarde upon their meeting, unless she took up Hoffman's quarrel and cut him direct. Knowing what was coming Paul actually felt relieved when the man of bandages advanced to have his little say. Hoffman was a man whose talents lay somewhat in the line of oratory. Consequently, when he let loose his vals of wrath upon the American he said some very bitter things in his tongue lashing. The ladies were agast. Paul smiled through it all. Wearying at length of the tirade, which he could not answer, he put up his hand as if to signal that enough had been said. And Hoffman actually stopped, CHAPTER IV. "Hoolt- The American!" It was indeed a pretty sight, if one could only overlook the disgustion of the principals necessitated by their armament, and both mon handled their raplers in tierce and guard with a sleiversness that would have brought out cheers from an American audience to score the very rafters ring, while around, watching every move, with a grim silence that was only broken by the clash of steel upon steel, or the sharp eritas of the军官 directing the affair. Those lights had never shone upon a more gallant fight, and each student hugged himself with delight because fortune had been kind enough to make him a witness to it. Those most experienced in such matters saw, however, that when ten minutes of this terrific work had passed by he was on his side, Hoffman was on his forces and preparing to end the duel with one of his hitherto invincible tactics, and they trembled for the brave American. To Karl's eager inquiries during an interval between the houts, Paul only gave a short laugh and assured his second he was but playing with his opponent. Again the rivals faced, but this time Paul was in deadly earnest, and amid a clash of steel it was seen that Hoffman's face was covered with blood. Then the sonorous voice of the umpire was heard calling a halt while the surgeons ascertained just how serious the Prussian's wound might be, Hoffman seemed to be wildly pleading with him to tell the battle to go on—it was his first defeat and unusually bitter—but the doctor, realizing the gravity of the wound, was inexorable. "He" be called out, signifying that the Prussian should be allowed to fight no more. The umpire repeated the word, and in a loud voice declared the result in the stereotyped phrase: "Saxe-Prussing is led away." Sexe-Prossin is not afraid, Then something occurred that had, then something occurred upon a similar occasion—the glorious result, the signal downfall of the proud duelist who had lorded it over them so long, was too much for the students to witness without giving relief to their pent-up feelings. "Hoeh, hoeh, hoeh the American!" they shouted. And "hoeh, hoeh, hoeh" was while they bore Rhinelander, bloody as he was, into the ante-room to resume his street dress. Paul had received a few slight scratches, but fortune had been very kind to him in this respect, for none of them were more than bagatelles. As he, dressed again for the street, was about to break away from the admiring groups that surrounded him, he saw a tall figure pressing through the rough, and recognized the Englishman who attended his bout. His eyes, blue is the summer skies, beamed with good nature, and Paul was drawn to him unconsciously. Then, too, the impulsive clap of his hand, how hearty it was after almost normal congratulations of the Germans! Well, blood seems thicker than water, after all, and the day is surely coming when these cousins may stand shoulder to shoulder for peace throughout the whole world. I thousand congratulations, my heart it was beautifully done, and I am proud to have been a witness to your victory. I hope we may meet again. Sir Neel Travers is my name, and I am probing into the colleges and hospitals of our German cousin," Paul was dragged away by his comrades at this juncture, but he had a singular premonition that he would run across this big, frank Briton again it some uncertain future date. To Paul's lodgings they rode. The discovered what he had not known before, that he had many warm friends in the university. And, of course, he was by courtesy compelled to accept their invitation to be a guest of honor at the grand meeting in the Kneipe or korps drinking all that night, where the famous of empty beakers on the open spen and closed the festivities. Still he was glad when the end came and he could leave the hall without living offense, for other matters of aore personal nature demanded his attention. One of the objects that had brought Europe to Germany—gave omise of being attained. He had seen the one he sought, the sister who had for so many years been at him. The memory of her memory him and what agony swept through his and as he remembered in whose empany he had seen her. The name of Hoffman, what a curse he been to his father. Was the fated to perpetuate his sire's inmy? CHAPTER V It was night again in Hilderberg when Paul wandered about the streets the classical city. Rhinelander was it afflessly wandering. The little and Cupid had to do with his wandering. Paul was thinking of Hilderde. That haunting face, with its melting, was the lode star that time from his den. He was Hilderdee? Paul would not have to have given a defiant that question had he IOW ago he had met her in the way that bordered a chant. Chance had alldo her a favor, slight CHAPTER VI Paradise Lost though in all probability it was more on account of his lack of breath than any desire to humor his acuency that influenced him. Having gained the floor, Paul stated his case in a frank and manly way, calculated to gain the respect of the government. "Ladies, I am sure you will believe me if I say I had not the remotest suspicion when I came here to-tight that I should find this gentleman present, or that he was connected with you in any manner whatsoever. "Unfortunately he chose to take offense in the concert garden thereby, accusing me of self-identification, which we were entirely innocent, and as you doubtless know there followed the passage-at-arms in which I had to take part. "I do not regret my action in the premises, but deem it my misfortune that I should have been compelled to disfigure any relative of yours. Since my presence here is evidently unwelcome to Myrneer Hoffman, I shall remain in humble myself without further ceremony." The effect of this manly speech was evident from the fact that both ladies smiled upon him. Seeing which, the miserable Hoffman, smarting in the bitterness of his first defeat, snarled: "One of you did insult the lady, and a German knows how to reconstruct such things." Then it was the American turned upon him with flashing eyes, fully incarnated. I say you know that is a base lie, since you should be aware of the sacred bond between that young woman and myself—that I would sooner cut my right hand off than offer her the slightest harm. I will even go further and solemnly declare, as you well know in your cowardly soul, that your presence in her society was the busiest insult she could receive. I shall stand by these words always. "And now, ladies, since this scene is painful to you, since me, permit it to reaffirm with the hope that possibly may meet again under other and more greateful conditions." Hoffman looked almost as white in the face as the bandage that padded his spit check. Evidently he knew to what Paul referred, and the consciousness cut him to the quick. He moved over to the door, and the other, having bowed politely to the ladies, was passing through, the Teouon said in a low but passionate tone: "This is only the beginning between (To be continued.) COUNTRY OF CONTRASTS. Free and Pastoral Life Lived by the Pulsarian Peasant It is a strange country of contrasts, this Bulgaria that people have so long watched as a danger spot. The peasant is a heavily built fellow, with a Kalmuk bird, if he happens to be pure bred from the original Samoyede stock, which is not likely. His language has become Slavic, which means a language in which "beefsteak" is "impliphtekl" and "ometel souffle" is "ometel cupule." The Bulgarian is a peasant or a soldier; he knows no other trade. As a farmer the sheep is all in all to him, food and clothing and companionship says in the Era. He is a hovel, does not understand why he should be bred, and makes his women slave in the field. He is called close-fisted, churlish and suspicious, and has some of the virtues that often go with those qualities. When Bulgaria became practically free of the sultan there were many Turks left in the country. These are gradually being crowded out, but there is still a mosque of the Sobranje, or Parliament, where the members have better accommodations than the lords of Britain on the Thames embankment, some twenty Turkish deputies always sit together and exert an influence that they never could do in their own land but always with the party. Never. Every Saturday deputies paid at the rate of five francs a day, all in silver fivefranc pieces. These peasant lawmakers knit it up in handkerchiefs, grin slowly and shake the jingling pieces playfully in one another's faces. They are playing at statesmanship yet, but fairly well, upon the whole. WATER CUBE FOR LUNATICS Feculiar Belief Which Was Widespread in the Dark Ages. The monks were the physicians during the dark ages, and the monasteries offered quiet retreat and esclusion for many insane, together with sympathy and protection which could not be found elsewhere. Spiritual agencies were everywhere popularly believed to be most efficacious in the cure of madness, and many and long were the pilgrimages made to the shrines of those saints who were believed to have special influence over the mentally afflicted, and many miraculous cures were said to have been brought about through exorcism and prayer. There were many well through Europe and the British Isles, each with its particular saint, to which the insane were brought to bathe and to pray. At St. Nim's Pool in England it was the custom to plunge the patients backward into the water and drag them to and fro until their excitement was殁. If they showed signs of recovering they were offered in a neighboring church, but if not the treatment continued until no hope remained. From the seventh century even to the present day lunatics have made pilgrimages to the shrine of St. Dympha, at Gheel, and here the first colony for the insane originated through a slow process of evolution, and stands-to-day as the best representative of the community or family system of caring for the insane—Popular Science Monthly.

The Territorial Government Reports Show Results Beyond Belief. Regina, Assiniboia, Canada, January 10th.—At the Agricultural Statistics Branch of the Department of Agriculture for the Territories, reports are now being received from grain threshers throughout the Territories, for statistical purposes. The reports are somewhat delayed this year, owing to the extensive crop and the delay in getting it threshed. The Department of Agriculture is leading the way in a new departure, with regard to the collection of data from the older provinces, crop estimates are based entirely on the opinion of persons interested in the grain business who ought to be, and no doubt are, well posted upon the probable yields. Still the reports are simply a matter of opinion, in which a mistake may easily be made. The Territorial Department, however, has adopted the system of returns of crops actually threshed, upon which to base their reports. The accuracy of the reports cannot, therefore, be gainsaid, for they represent a compilation of actual threshing results. In this connection, it might be mentioned that the Department is organizing a system of growing crop returns, which will be information thus obtained, with estimated acreage, will be available for business men, banks, railway companies, and other interests which have to discount the future in making provision for the conduct of their business. The crop reports already to hand show some remarkable cases of abnormal development. In the Regina district, many returns are given of crops of wheat running from 40 to 45 bushels to the acre. J. A. Snell, of Yorkton, threshed 28,000 bushels of oats from 400 acres, an average of 63 bushels per acre for a large acreage. W. R. Motherwell, of Abernethy, threshed 2,650 bushels of wheat from a 50-acre field, an average of 53 bushels per acre. In the Edmonton district, T. T. Hutchings threshed 728 bushels of wheat from a ten-acre plot, an average of nearly 73 bushels per acre. S. Norman threshed 6,950 bushels of oats from 60 acres of land, an average of 116 bushels per acre. The publication of the actual yields or gram threshed will likely open the eyes of the people to the great capabilities of the Western Canadian prairies.

Tt costa lees to agree with a phoo: than to differ with him. ‘All men owe mutch more to chane¢ than they are willing to admit. Men who luv the least to make munny, luv the most to spend it. Old age iz a perch whare all the fakes, sorrows and ills ov life cum te roost. Obstinacy mite be excusable in » wize man, but wize men are never ob: atinate. ‘The best friend and the worst enemy than enny man haz got iz bis con- shlence, Luv, which ts simply the resut ov fear, will turn to hate the fust good chance it gits, Thare {s nothing that Got luvs more, and nothing that makes us all feel bet- ter, than thankful!ness. ‘The man who won't proffitt bi the experiences ov others, ain't a going to profitt mutch bl biz own, Take all the folly and foolishness ‘out ov this world, and thare would be but little excitement, and no fun at all in living fm it. When the bottom does fail out of @ simply comik foo!, he al gos to Pleces in such a way that he never kan be mended agin. All buman natur luvs to tak the chances. Tharo is grate fun in seeing how near yu can go to a mule’s heels without gitting highsted.

HOUSEWIFE SUGGESTIONS. A few drops of turpentine in hot starch adds luster to {roned linen. Arrowroot tled in a thick cotton rag and boiled with linens and cottons im- parts an odor to them that is pleasing. || Emelish pottery with Dutch mottoes seems an anomaly and rather incon- ‘sruous, but the offect is quaint and at- tractive. Candlesticks with strange birds and beasts appeal to the eye. Silk and linen are woven together to make the handsomest table damask. Sometimes the goods is brought out in mauve, gold and white and an es- pecially pretty pattern was all in soft rosy pink. A shelf supported by brackets and from which falls a curtain is a good scheme to conceal a radiator. Then the shelf may be embellished by a large brass or copper pot or a few pieces of drie-a-brac, To avoid wrinkling bodices and jack- ets they should be hung on frames such as men use for their coats, winding the frames first with cloth or silk, upon which, if desired, orris or other sachet powder may be sprinkled. Little used matting, as in spare chambers or upper summer rooms, abould be swept very clean, then wiped with a cloth wrung out of sweet milk. Do this once a year—It keeps the straw live and toa degree pliant, If the milk wash {s used in a living room or on a Plazza, follow it by wiping with very hot clear water to keep the floor from drawing flies —Chicago News. PEOPLE'S QUEER WAYS. In the extreme north and extreme south uf England some remal:s can be traced of the old style of harvest home which was usually celebrated during September. The emblem of It was the kern-baby, or, as it ts called in the north, the kirn-dolly, a tiny sheaf made of the last stalts of srain cut tled with bright ribbon and carried home by the harvest quces, to be aft: erward hung on the wall of the great straw barn, while the harvesters feasted on bofled mutton and potatoes and home-brewed beer and then anced till morning. ‘A party of Bedouin Arabs, with cam: els, horses and donkeys, which camped for some weeks at the zoological gar- dens in Vienna, took with them, when they left for Trieste, seren Viennese brides, to whom they will be married with Arabian rites upon reaching thelr destination. All the women had prop- erty. Thirty others who wanted to take up a desert life were rejected be- cause of thelr poverty. ‘A traveler in Abyssinia writes: “We here found quite a new currency—thin bands of ron, 2 feet long, 1 inch wide, sixteen of which go to the Abyssinian @ollar.
