Tbe reason why the meat one gets in the country Is as a rule so in­ ferior to what we city folk are accus­ tomed to is that the farmers lack con­ veniences for keeping meat, and eat it much too soon after the killing.--Buf­ falo Commercial. will bring back to your hair the color of yputb.

Minnesota Declares for State At<u Complete returns of the Minnesota State election show that the State aid amendment to the Constitution has been passed by the people by a vote of 70,043 to 3S,017. The returns have only recently been completed, owing to the unsettled condition of the northern anu eastern portions of the State. This is the first time that a popular vote has even been taken In any State upon the good roads question, and the result is most emphatic Indorsement of State aid as a solution. The Farmers' Na­ tional Congress, which met at Fort Worth, Texas, early in December last, passed strong resolutions in favor of State aid, and commending the efforta of the League of American Wheelmen toward its introduction. The Minne­ sota vote Is another notable' indorse ment of the work of this organization The constitutional amendment was introduced at the 1897 session of the Minnesota Legislature by A. B. Choate, of Minneapolis, as the representative of the L. A. W., and its passage by that body was the result of his persistent and diplomatic work in behalf of the measure. This left it to be submitted to popular vote for its final passage. A strong educational campaign for good roads was carried on by the L. A. W. throughout Minnesota during the past summer and fall with .the active assistance of the Bureau of Road In­ quiry at Washington and the press of Minnesota. A large edition of pam­ phlets, explaining the State aid system of road-building and its advantages to farmers, was distributed, and numer­ ous articles and editorials upon the sub­ ject appeared in the papers in various parts of the State. The resulting vote for the amendment is alone t\Vo to one in its favor. The Minnesota Legislature will now take the necessary steps to put a sys­ tem of State aid into operation, such as is now In force in New Jersey and in New York. Farmers, especially, will appreciate this, as It will enable them to obtain durable highways \yithout be­ ing obliged to bear the entire expense, as they do at present. In New Jersey and New York, the cost of roads built by State aid is divided between the State, the counties and the local tax payers in the towns. Many towns availing themselves of the New York law are securing funds for road-build- Ing purposes from outside sources, equal to four or five times that which they raise themselves. Country tax­ payers have learned that State aid to roads provides a means by which the large city taxpayers and corporations owning valuable franchises from the State are made to share in the expense, and that it remains optional with the farming districts to avail themselves of this assistance, or not, as they may choose. This explains the popularity of State aid in Minnesota and the large vote In Its favor.--L. A. W. Bulletin. jilt Ncinte the Yoang Mao Mi Hot Appreciate the Situation. I rode up to a country store, where a young girl stood on the porch swinging a Bunbonnet and talking to a mountain­ eer. I had left her in that position a year before, and her father had told me then his daughter and the moun­ taineer would soon be married. Talking to the father a few minutes later, I asked: "Is your daughter married yet?" "Naw, an' I don't reckon she will be." "WTiat Is the trouble? I saw her talk­ ing to her lover just now." "Yaas--she don't do much else. Thet feller ain't no 'eOuut. He's ben courtin' for three y'ar, an axed Sal ter marry 'lm a y'ar ago. I tol' him ter clean out, an' s'posed he'd 'lope with her.

Writing in the Century on Charles Dickens' interest in the cause of edu­ cation, James L. Hughes concludes his article by saying: He was the first great English stu­ dent of Froebel. He deals with nine­ teen different schools in his books. He gives more attention to the training of childhood than any other novelist, or any other educator except Froebel. He was one of the first Englishmen to de­ mand national control of education, even in private schools, and the thor­ ough training of all teachers. He ex­ posed fourteen types of coercion, and did more than any one else to lead Christian men and women to treat chil­ dren humanely. Every book he wrote except two Is rich in educational thought. He took the most advanced position on every phase of modern educational thought, except manual training. When he is thoroughly un­ derstood he will be recognised «a the Froebel of England.

These extreme *i«rvous disorders were treated with wonderful success by the dis­ coverer of Or.

This remeay is the only known specific in m&ny diseases that, until recent ye&rs.werc pronounced in* curable. Here is the proofi James Crocket, a sturdy old Scotchman living «• Detroit, Kick. St S Montcalm St., was cured of Locomotor Ataxia by these pills. Fot fflenf years he has been a chief engineer of one of those big passenger palace Steamers plying upon the great lakes. This is a position of great respon­ sibility and the anxiety causes a great nervous strain. Mr. Crocket says: "For fifteen years I watched the big engines aad boilers without a single iy sccident, and only noticed that I was getting nervous, warning I was taken sick, an'i was prostrated. Suddenly without .1 had the best of physi­ cians but grew gradually worse. At a council of doctors, they said I had ' yervous prostration, and had destroyed my whole nervous system and would never recover. For three years I was unable to move from my bed. The doctor said I had locomotor ataxia, and would never be able to walk again. "The pains and suffering I experienced during those year* are almost Indescribable. The friends that came to see me bid me good-bye when fUey left me and I was given up. T5..r doctors said nothing more could be lone.

How to Avoid Shrinking Underwear. No greater personal discomfort can be borne than the wearing of underwear which is hardened and drawn up in wash­ ing. Yet if care be given the work the trouble may be prevented. Impure soap, aad too hot water are responsible for much of the ruin wrought in washing woolen and silk goods. When ready to begin, fill a tub half full of warm water, in which dissolve a fourth of a bar of Ivory soap; trash the articles through it, rinse and squeeze, but do not wring. Hang on the line, while still damp press with a hot iron. By this washing the garments will remain soft and white. ELIZA A. PARKER. Quelling an lll-Bretl Pas-euger.

A City Pays Mud Dnmages. The following, from a West Superior (Wis.) paper, tells its owu story, which, by the way, is an Interesting one to taxpayers and "city fathers:" "At the last previous Council meeting Mike O'Donnel had a claim against the city for the sum of $20, that amount being claimed by Mr. O'Donnel for hav­ ing his horse mired up to its neck on 18th street near tbe normal school. The Aldermen rather laughed at the claim­ ant presenting a bill to the city for hav­ ing a horse mired, and the Council voted to fight the case through all the courts If necessary. "The case was brought to trial this morning in the Municipal C°urt. A jury consisting of Stewart Robinson, Frank Felker, Jauies Scott and James Selder was impaneled and after hearing about ten minutes' testimony on the case a \erdict was brought in for the plaintiff In the sum of $35, which is $15 more than he offered to settle the case for. Besides this the costs in the case amount to $18.87, making a total cost to the city of $53.87. The horse is all right now, notwithstanding the fact that it took two others to pull it out of tbe sticky red mud. Under the direction of the Council the case will be appealed to the next higher court." A Begm Syndicate, There is a perfectly organized syn­ dicate In Paris which busies itself in recruiting from every part of France, and especially from the poorer quar­ ters of the capital, beggars of both sexes, who are sent to the large cities of America, where medicants are sup­ posed not to be numerous. The beg- ga,rs tiius enrolled receive a good sum of money when they leave France, pay their passage over themselves, and In this way deceive the authorities in New York. Many French beggars are told to dress up as deserters from the Bel­ gian army. No one knows why this peculiar order is given. The beggars have to give twenty-five Francs a day to the syndicate In return for their out­ fit. IJDW Valuation. A few words will sometimes express a man's opinion of his neighbor quite as well as a much longer statement. "Do you regard Silas Woodruff as one of the important people in Canby?" asked a summer visitor, referring to a member of the State Legislature, whose home was in the little town. "I hear he Can talk up to the folks on politics," answered the Canby farmer, to w^om the question had been ad­ dressed, "so 1 reckon he's some use to •the State, mebby; but in Canby we don't fount him of any more value than a couple o' rods o' side-hill."--Youth's Companion. Tongues of the Cat Family. The tongues of the cat family are cov­ ered with recurving spines. In the common domestic cat these are small, but sufficiently well developed to give the tongue a feeling of roughness. But in the lion and tiger the spines are strong enough to enable the animal to tear away the skin of a man's hand merely by licking it. A poet writes of "The Bent in the Clouds."
