YOU THE &nperstitiptt of an Old Minnesota Maq Who Ownet a Mill. Near tlie -Tillage o| ^jjunesota Lake, situated on the nB¥raside of the lake, stiiiiils an old-time windmill which re­ sembles in all its Aliases the Dutch mills of Holland^rt is owned by Gott­ lieb Shasta?. :m old German, and was built by him soing, forty years, ago and used as a grist mill. For the past fif­ teen or twenty years Shastag has al­ lowed no one to enter the building, not even his wife or son. His reason for this is a strange one. It appears that, as the story is told l>y a n old resident, some'evil-disposed person "put the devil in the mill," and for five years it caused him a great deal of annoyance, trouble and anguish of mind. After repeated efforts he finally succeeded in getting the evil one out. and he knows this to be a fact, for lie distinctly saw him going out in the form of a rabbit. As long as lie allows no person to en­ ter it will be impossible for his Satan­ ic majesty to return and renew his direful work. He is perfectly honest in his dealings and a cut in the price of grist grinding by a competitor .wor­ ries liini not. for. as . he says: "God make, de wind blow, and when de wind blow I grinds.'" and he had an advan­ tage over the competitor. as it costs •him nothing for fuel. The building heihg octagonal, its di­ mensions' are larger than one would think at. a casual glanee. It has a di­ ameter Of 4'0 feet, tapering 10 about- at a height of .-Jo., The uia'm anus, ol' Which there are four, each feet lu length, are of hewn oak. 10 inclj.es at the largest end and tapering to about <i, and are -firmly fastened to an axle on top of the mill, and to this main axle, or shaft, the machinery is attach­ ed. It is necessary, as in tlie case with modern windmills, to keep the fans facing that point from which the wind is coming, and this mill is not so auto­ matic \in its const ruojtion as modern ones aiV. As the wind changes it lias to be turned by hand. This is accom­ plished by a long sweep, or pole, .ex­ tending to within a few feet of the ground, to Ihe end of which a chain can !>e attached. The other end of the chain is attached to a capstan, and when the miller finds the mill out of wind lie drags the Capstan ahead a few feet, where it is caugiir by anchor posts set for that purpose and with a lever draws the sweep ;>round until the proper point is reached. The arms, as they revolve to the highest point, reach a height of eighty feet, although at a distance they seem to be moving very slowly -in fact, they pass a given point at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, with a -t+rirt\ diorse power: No one knows how the machinery of the inside is constructed, but it is sup­ posed, like that of the exterior, to be a counterpart of the mills in Holland.

Chimneys at Sea. Pictures of the new United States cruiser Brooklyn show her with im­ mensely tail smoke-stacks, towering up higher than the masts, with the ex­ ception of the flagstaffs. Similarly tall smoke-stacks have recently been adopt­ ed for a large merchant ship, and it is thought that their use may become /""Common. The purpose is to imitate the draft produced by lofty chimneys on land. This is called "induced draft." as opposed to the system of "forced draft," heretofore generally used to in­ crease the power of steam-boilers. It is claimed iu behalf of the new system that it produces a more natural draft and is h'xs injurious to the: boilers, be­ sides leading to greater comfort for the firemen. Other Ways of inducing instead of driving air through the fur­ naces have been Contrived, but the tall smoke-stack plan is said to be the most economical ships. Kaat TruinV* of the l;~ u t u r e. In discussing the things needed to in­ crease the average speed of railway trains the Scientific American urges strongly a decrease in the weight of cars, and makes an interesting com­ parison with bicycles: "In a train made up of Pullman cars the engine has to haul not less than a ton and a half of dead load for each passenger carried. On the race-track the bicycle carries its load, at average railroad speed, on a dead-weight basis of twenty pounds to the passenger. One hundred and fifty times as much dead weight to be carrried per passenger on a rail­ roads as on a bicycle!" What the limit speed for trains will be in the tw entieth century no one can tell at present, but with existing conditions more than 100 miles an hour have been made over a short distance.

About forty pules from Flagstaff, ! Arizona, in the midst of a great plaiu, there is a saucer-shaped hollow about three-quarters of a mile across and six hundred feet deep. The rim of this strange crater rises between one hundred and fifty and two hundred feet above the surrounding plaiu. Rocky fragments arc scattered for sev­ eral miles around the crater, decreas­ ing in number until they disappear. Among these rocks many fragments of meteoric iron, some containing min­ ute black diamonds, have been found. The inner walls show that the crust of the earth was broken when the crater was formed; yet no volcanic rocks exist there. Geologists have re­ cently proposed several theories to ac­ count for this singular phenomenon. One theory is that an immense meteor­ ite made the hole, and that the meteor­ ic fragments just mentioned i»re rem­ nants of the falling star. Another the­ ory ascribes rhe origin of the crater to a tremendous explosion of steam in the rocks beneath; and a third com­ bines the first two by suggesting that the blow of a falling meteor, striking the earth's crust at a point where sub­ terranean water had accumulated in the neighborhood of heated rocks, Was the cause of the explosion. A Lively Young Duke. The Duke of Orleans served for a time in the English army, but was com­ pelled to give up his connection in con­ sequence of his childish behavior. He played no end of senseless tricks while stationed at Aldersliot, was most in­ subordinate as regarded discipline, was forever taking advantage of the immunity due to his royal rank, and finally was compelled to leave the army for having cut the ropes anchoring a captive balloon in which Gen. Sir Eve l/n Wood and a couple of other field officers were taking observations dur­ ing a sham bat fie. A strong wind was blowing and the balloon was carried up into the air. and its Occupants were unable to effect a descent until at a distance of some thirty miles from Al­ dershot. Sir Evelyn complained di­ rectly not only to the Duke of Cam- teentli birthday on Aug. 31. 18!)r>. She ' is rather pretty and has a slender, i graceful, young figure. I have seen her ' dressed in the peasant costume of K&e- j land, and she looked for- all the world ; like one of "George Houghton's dear, de- j light ful Dutch maidens, except that her cheeks were not ruddy. She has a very delicate, .cdear complexion; her hair is j pale brown, and long and wavy; her j eyes a'iv .blue and there is iV. delicious j twinkle in them which suggests that the young girl lias a fair sense of Iwi- mor. Her Clirjstiii'n names are Wilhei- .iuina Helena Paulina Maria. * * * I suppose, that if Wifhelinina: I. were asked by some staunch democ-.\ntie maiden of her own age whether in the dignities of Queenship there is much satisfaction for a little girl she would answer 'No.' To be sure, there is some amusement to be got out of her position, but not so much as if the girl were the daughter of a rich Dutch burgher, or of a farmer in that wonderful country where the peasants are like walking jewelers' shops, and where the land flows with canals and honey. For one thing, the playmates of the child Queen can be very few, and, as there is no bevy of brothers and sisters in the fam­ ily, the girl's life has so far been spent almost entirely among persons much older than herself. s * * There is a genuine affection for her throughout the country, and with good reason, for she is a very lovable child. The sweet­ ness of her nature shines out through her face. She has the most ̂ .winsome smile that you could wish to see. She appreciates her position thoroughly, that is to say. as thoroughly as a Igirl of lieryyars can appreciate such anlex- ceptional conditou as Queenhood, and she is amusingly particular about the dignities which encompass-her. For nil that, she is delightfully considerate of others. Her servants worship her, Dutch children adore her, and every­ body who comes into contact with her speedily becomes very fond of her.

Among treasures with which (I deco­ rate my rooms when 1 am long enough iu one place to make decoration worth while is a skull. When Edwin Booth was playing "Hamlet" during his last engagement iu Boston I took this skull to Owen Fawcett. who was playing the gra vedigger. and asked him to use it in the graveyard scene for Yorick's skull. I also asked him to try to get Mr. Booth to write his autograph on the skull after using ii in jtlie play. Some time before this I had writt'M oil the forehead.of the skull, in very black, ink. Hamlet's dying words. "The rest is silence." "Hamlet" was played Wed­ nesday night, the last week of the en­ gagement, and also at the Saturday matinee. After the performance Wednesday night I went to see Faw­ cett and inquire about my skull's "first appearance." . Fawcett met me with a smile and said: "I used the skull, but I am afraid you won't got Mr. Booth's auto­ graph on it!" I asked him why not. and he told me that when he handed the skull up out of the grave to Mr. Booth the calcium light strongly illuminated the words 1 had written on Yorick's forehead. The result was unfortunate. Mr. Booth, before beginning the "Alas, poor Yor- ick!" speech, started to speak, and "got the speech all twisted," almost "stick­ ing dead." His last line in "Hamlet" thus appearing so far ahead of its cue had upset him. He was justly offend­ ed, until he was told it had not been planned as a practical joke. I asked tion of the heart, and in after years all the complications that heart disease pro­ duces. At first the palpitations were not serious, for .they would last only a few seconds, but as I grew older the palpita­ tions gradually grew worse until . they would completely prostrate me. These palpitations would sometimes last .thirty minutes, the blood'would rush to my head I and I would become, so diazy and my sight j become so dimmed ithat I could not define1 i any object before me.

We have often spoken with regret of the wanton destruction of song birds in this country, not only because their beauty and melody are a delight to all who live in the country, but be­ cause they are such Important auxil­ iaries in the war against insects inju­ rious to vegetation. This wholesale butchery is by no means confined to our own country. A recent number of the Fortnightly Review notes that 40,000 larks daily come into the Lou­ don markets, where poulterers sell them by the bushel. Besides those sold for table purposes, there are thou­ sands killed for their feathers, their wings, when dyed so as to counterfeit tropical birds, being worn for orna­ ments. Large numbers are also trap­ ped to let fly at shooting matches, and many more are sold to be confined, not ' as household pets, but by gamblers, ! who, strangely enough, keep them and bet on their powers of song, although how such matches are decided one can ! hardly understand. All this makes i agriculture and horticulture more difli- I cult in England, where, under any cir- ! cumstances, it is none too prosperous. | But wha t seems surpr i s ing to Ainer - j icans is that public' sentiment in En- | gland will allow thev"3ctermination of a songster which seems to be such a j favorite and holds so high a place in the poetical literature of the language. --Garden and Forest. .
