During the recent panic in Lancashire q
lady who had a considerable sum on deposit
went to her bank and told the manager that
she needed al her money, and that she would
have gold. The sum was promptly placed
before her, whereupon she remarked, "No, ]
won't take it out now" and the gold was re-
placed. The lady left the bank convinced that
the money WAS safe, because, as she thought,
she had seen it. Perhaps the most ludicrou5
incident occurred in the Bank of England. A
person who had a deposit in the bank became
alarmed as to the solvency Of the institution,
and ''protected himself by drawing out the
amount-in bank notesl He is probably a
lineal descendant of one Of the Irishmen who,
banker, bought up and destroyed his notes.
One very comieal incident is reported from
Ashton. A man who had deposit In the
local branch OF o Manchester bank hastily
withdrew the amount and posted to Man
chester, where he deposited it In the head office
Of the same bank. His explanation was that
he thought the small banks would Ego first

It is rule Of the Chinese Six Companies Of
San Francisco that no CbiDaman shall open a
Wash-house within a. certain distance of one
already established. Chinaman infracted
the rule and was ordered to close his shop.
He refused. Next he received a formal notice
that he must move and pay fine Of $40. Still
he disobeyed. Soon he was missing. After
q long search by white friends he was found
chained in cellar, where he had been left to
starve. He was released only to disappear
again, and it is supposed that, by order of
the secret tribunal, he has been murdered.
The San Francisco Chronicle vouches for the
truth Of the story, and adds that many s4ch

Resumption.

Washington Special to s.. Louis r. publican.
Within the last week over mill
ION dollars has arii,ed ut New Yo K
from Europe to pay for wheat and
other produce that is being shipped
abroad, and us much more expected
to arrive this week. The Indications
are rs reported at the bureau of sta
tistics th... exports o: produce this
fall will be larger than ever bef ore
and from necessity gold will have to
be returned in exchange. Hithe,to
a greater part of this exchange has
been in United States bonds which
are now scarce in Europe ard cannot
be obtained for this purpose. Sec
retary Sherman remarked upon this
to-dap as one Of tie many favorable
conditions for resumption of specie
payment on the first Of January, and
expressed his belief that things
would shape til mselves in CONNER
cisl circles Ct the countay so that
the much dreaded event would occur
without more than commonplace ef-
fects. The balance Ct trade has
been for so long and still continues
to be SO largely in our favor that
geld viii be p.eaEty and the demand
for it small, SO that the effect of re-
sumption will not be noticeable.
he accnmulat on of gold in the
treasury is very rapid this month,
and the balance Of co available for
resumption purposes will be largely
increased. The present condition OF
trade is such, also, that the increase
next month is expected to be cores
pondi. gly large.

Keeping Winter Vegetables.

After the farmer he's raised a good
supplv of vegetables he often fails
TO realize the ul' bens fit of his labor
from lack # knowledge how to
keep them. This is especially the
case with squ,shcs and that class of
vegetables which require to be kept
comparatively warm and dry. 1t is
quite usual for him to put them in a
! lie in the cellar, and tEen wonder
that they ret. Squashes, pumpkins,
and all that class CT vegetables re-
quire, first an absence of light: Sec
ond, . dry temperature, not exceed
ing fifty-five to sixty degrees; and
third, to be so placed that enc does
not come in contact with another.
We have always had success in
keeping them in a cocl, dry chamber
until freezing occurs, and then re-
NOV ng them to a closet for safe
keeping over winter. Thus the
Hubbard and other hsrd-shell varie-
ties may be kept until May and even
June. For use rntil February they
will keep tolerably well in . dry ce!-
Ter, placed on shelves. Boston mar
row is the first to decay. The tur-
ban-to our mind one Of the best of
the winter varieties, especially for
bakiDg-will often keep in the Gel
lar until March. Those cnly intend
ed for use later need to be treated to
the dry, cool closet. It will pay, for
at the later part Of winter and early
spring there is dearth of vegetable
food on the farm that makes such
articles especially valuable.-Rrai-

Minnesota Beef.

Every day or go we see droves of
fine Minnesota cattle driven through
our streets, and if there ever was
sweet, juicy beefsteak, We can boast
Of it right here, yet many seem to
have the idea that raising stock is
improbable. Go to the stock-yards
of Chicago, and there you can get
more for Minnesota steers than you
can for Texas. 1t is beginning to
dawn upon Minnesota people that
they have one of the best states the
sun shines on, and that their beef,
like their fruit, has a flavor and
quality about it that nothing but the
purest air, water and climate can or
iginate. The copyright cannot be
taken from them, and so long as we
enjoy the present healthy and invig-
Grating climate, so long will we have
a superior or beef and and fruit to
tickle sensitive palates. Occasion
ally a grasshopper comes around
this way for a breath of fresh air,
and poor crop occures once in u
while, but taken altogether, Mime
nesota has as good beef, fruit, lum-
her, grain, stone, water-powe:s, lakes,
health, good times, air, sky, starl ght
and sunshine as is enjoyed by any
other state in the union.-[Austin

SOME or THE INDUCE TENTS 1T
OFFERS TO FARMERS.

A soil unsurpassed in fertility,
we'll watered, pillow land and mead
ow on almost every quarter section.
A fine body of timber, about l2,-
900 acres, stretching along the en-
tire north side of the County, and
groves scattered all through it.
Every portion Of the County with
in easy reach of !: railroad market.
School districts organized and
school houses built.
Church organizations and church
buildings.
Two No. l. Touring mills and one
saw mill, located at Redwood Falls,
the County Seat.
Magnificent rolling prairies with
charming lakes.
Good society and a remarkable
healthy climate.
Excellent markets for everything
produced by the farmer.
Farms can be purchased at fig
ures that are regarded as reasonable
even on lhc frontier and bear no
comparison to the price of land in
older Counties where the business
and social advantages are no better
and often inferior.
Low TAxEs.-The amount of gen.
eral tax, levied IN 1877, on an unim-
proved quarter section did not ex-
ceed five dollars, and the average
amount on improved quarter sections
was almost six dollars.
Redwood County, with its present
prospects of development and
growth, offers inducements to farm
ers not to be found any place else in
the northwest.

A Profitable Business.

In 1896 Edward and ca eb Brown,
brothers, of Connecticrt, entered an
to buy fifteen good Cots
void ewes, contrue in partncrsh' p
IN handling them ten years, retain
the eve lambs and sell the wool and
ram lambs each year. The fifteen
original ewes cost them $l5s in cash.
July ls h, two years ago, they had
sold 81, 800 worth Of WOOL ard sheep.
Last year they sold $500 worth
and this year 5000 wo' tn, and now
have On hand 100 head of sheep,
worth $4,000. Their profits on their
original investment have been
to loan:ng money at the
rate of over 600 rer cent per annum.
This shows what enterprise and
good management will do in raising
fine stock. Yet, how many farmers
are there in NJ nneso:a who have as
many sheep as dogs on their farm.

CARROTS FOR HORSES.

At Cornell University, they have
been feeding their work teams libcr-
ally with carrots the past winter,
and the experiment has proved this
crop to be one Of essential value for
feeding to horses. One bushel of
carrots and one bushel of oats, fed
in alternate meals, are Of equal value
with two bushels of oats alone,
while they can be grown at much
less expense. Henccforth carrots
will profitably replace cne-half the
oats that we have fed. Horses, like
human beings require variety of
food, and thrive best upcn a ration
that involves a change of Diet. Sue
cu!ent food, in part, will always
prove beneficial, and this is best af-
forded by carrots.-[Ame,ican Far

From tho result of some recent
experiments it is believed that cleo
tricity may be made an efficient
agent in feling trees and c.ea: ng
forests. A thick platinum wire is
maintained at white heat BY a cur
rent of the electric fluid, and gently
see sawed across the trunk of the
tree, burning instead of cutting the
wood. It is estimated that under
proper conditions an oak tree revuir-
ing two hours to fell with the ave,
will come to the ground by electrici-
ty in fifteen minutes.

Nervous Cows.

No observing person can have the
care of herd Of cows long, without
noting great variance in the char
acter and disposition of the different
animals. The famous Mrs. Parting
ton once remarked, that ''there is as
much difference in folks as there is
in anybody" and it is it is just so
with cows. The feminine peculiar
tiles that we are apt to note in our
own kind may, many of them, be
detected among the domestic ami
mails. Some cows are so phlegmatic
and good natured that moderate
amount of illtreatment does not seem
to disturb their eqanimity. Others
are naturally vicious, and will kick
and hook without provocation.
There is another class that, while
not vicious, are so nervous that they
may easily be made to appear ugly,
and in time really become so, in con-
sequence OF rough handling or care
less.ess. It requires a considerate
and good d:spositioned man to man.
age such cows and get along with
them. Tl.ey must be humored,
spoken kindly to, and gently hand

or beating them, demoralizes them
'earfully, and makes them almost
