HOPS arc first mentioned by Pliny'
:he young plant being eaten as a yege-
table, like our asparagus. But until
the sixteenth century they were not
used as an ingredient in beer; and,
when their cultivation was first intro
duced from Flanders, in 1925, an out
cry was raised, and Parliament was
petitioned against wicked weed
that would spoil the taste Of the drink
and endanger the people" But the
piquant bitter found favor with the
public, who relished this addition %
the previous unmitigated sweetness.

The CATHOLIC WORLD. 1.-THE Reality
Of the World is the title of the leading arti-
Gle in the February number of this magazine.
1t IS intended to meet, and clcverly adapted
to- a certain tendency, of modern thought
to deny all things. "Jasmin," n delightful
sketch of chat most charming of characters,
lows. Civilization and its Laws" is a close
review OF Funck-Brentano's interesting
work on the same subject There is n further
instrument of the able articles on "Plain
Chant" "Pere Monsabre" gives a strong
picture of the leading French pulpit orator
of the day and of his work. THE Material
Mission of the Church" is n fitting sequel to
a recent article on 'Some Barriers between
Capital and Labor" which attracted wide
attention. protestant Theology in Short
Clothes" is an amusing yet serious examina-
tioD of the working of Sunday chools and
Sunday-schOol literature generally. The
''Life of MTe. Duchesne" deals with one OF
the heroic pioneers of Catholic education in
this country. "Rome under the Popes and
under .he Piedmontese" is the first install
position of the Roman people, financially,
socially, and morally, under the two govern
ments. Figures and facts are presented that
will 60 far TO change popular opinion on this
subject. The Roman Letters" deals with
the fall of the late Italian M:nestry and
the present drift of politics in Italy, which
the writer views with serious alarm. Pearl
goes on better than ever. There are some
sweet verses and some important book
notices.

Henry Stanley, resident Of An

{, wi IN rheumatism. From strong,
ust man he was reduced almost to
skeleton the joints, especially of
=. knees, were stiff and swollen, the
cords and ligaments contracted, and
the case was altogether a serious one.
Some one of the butcher boys suggest
ed to Stanley the idea of bathing in
and drinking blood He was taken
to NIeMaster's slaughter-house and
treated accordingly with most aston
ishing rssuIts. Placed in position to
receive the warm sunshine his limbs
were bathed in warm blood fresh from
the slaughtered animals as soon as
the blood was dried upon his legs they
were wrapped in a fresh sleeps pclt,
another being bound across the back /;
also he drank freely Of beef blood In
two days after commencing this treat

HEADING CABBAGEs IN WINTER

HEADING CABBAGEs IN WINTER
A writer in the Rural NClC Yorker
saws he often sets out cabDages so
late in the season that the heads arc
but halfforme1 when winter sets in.
Just before the ground freezes a deep
furrow is plowod on a dry, sandy
knoll. the cabbages are carefully lifted
with adhering soil, and set as thick
ly as covenient in the natural condi-
tiou. They are then covered with a
{, W inches of straw, and with the same
thickness of soil, partly by blowing
against them. The heads form dur
ing the winter, and they come out IN
zhe spring white and tender.

THE THERNoNETER.-T thermO.
meter, although invented halt a cen
tury earlier than the barometer, was
more shan half a century later arriv-
ing at perfection. Hero, who flourish
ed at Alexandria about one hundred
and thirty years before Christ, has
described in his "Spiritalia" 4 sort OF
huge weather glass, in which water
was made TO rise and fall by the yiCis
situdes of day and night, or rather
the changes of heat and cold. This
machine had been for ages overlooked
or merely considered in the light OF
curious contrivance But SanCtoria,
a very learned and ingenious Italian
physician, VINO was long Professor Of
Medicine in the University of Padua
and had labored to improve his art by
the application of ofeXperimentals science,
reduced the hydraulic machine Of Hero
into more compendious form and
thus constructed, about the close OF
the sixteenth century, the instrument
since known by the name of the al
thermometer, which he employed with
obvious advantage to examine the
heat of the human body in fever.
Some years afterward, a similar IN
strument was contrived, perhaps with
out any communication, by Drebble,
very clever and scheming Dutch al
tist, who visited London in the reign
of James l. and introduced the knowl-
edge of the instrument into England

BUSINESS FOR LADIEs.-Our attention
has been called to n new article for the use
of ladies, the invention of which has con-
ferred an everlasting blessing upon every
lady. We refer to the Queen City skirt
suspenders for supporting ladies' skirts, the
most desirable and beneficial article ever
invented for the relief of women, many of
whom have suffered years o. miserable
health caused solely by carrying the weight
of a number of heavy skirts, completely
dragging them down. Something TO support
ladies clothing is absolutely necessary.
These suspenders are recommended by onr
leading physicians to all ladies and young
girls. Every lady should have them. They
are sold only through lady agents. a splen-
did opportunity is offered TO some reliable
lady canvasser of this county to secure the
agency of pleasant and profitable business.

We received a pleasant call this
morning, from DR.. J. G. Rosser, who,
with his family has arrived from
White Earth, and proposes to settle
with US once more, and open an Office
as physician and surgeon. The doc
tor has many friends here who will
welcome him back with pleasure.
W. W. Hartley of the Tribune has
received the appointment of postmaster
in this place, vice s. V. Sherwood re-
moved, and has obtained his bonds
men, and forwarded his bond, for ap~
proyal. His commission will be for
warded when the bond is approved,
when he will take possession of the
post>ofice in person, certain rumors to
the contrary, notwithstanding.
E. H. Bly,, of the Sheridan House,
Bismarck, gave the Tribune call this
week, being in town engaged in the
adjudication Of the post>ofice defcien>
cy ofMr. Sherw God, for whom he was
one of the bondsmen. Mr.. Bly, has
recently secured a very favorable
location in the coal fields west OF
Bismarck, and has ordered for bis
mine full outfit Of mining tools, track,
cars etc., intending to open it up at
once, The mine is located forty miles
west Of Bismarck and promises to yield
its owner handsome income.

ried off his spectacles. Subsequently
the squaw returned and he frightened
her so badly she delivered up the. stol'
en- article.
AS will be seen by an extract from
the Little Falls Transcript, in another
column, Mr.. A. F. Storey has been ap.
pointed. County Attorney of Morrison
county vice Clark resigned. We are
pleased to note this compliment to Mr..
s., and We are sure the commissioners
have made selection which they will
not regret.
On Saturday last, Mr.. Mich. Moos,
of the town of St. Augusta, drove a
horse over manure pile in which a
pitch fork was sticking. The animal
stepped upon the fork, threw it up,
and the tines entered its body tearing
the flesh and causing the entralls to
protrude. Attempts were made to
sew up the wound, but it was uusuc-
cessful and the horse died.

While examining the State salt
lands in Wilkin county near Breck->
enridge, the commissioners came upon
a large tract of quaking bog land.
Running in a northwest and southeast
direction was a line of mounds from
600 to 300 feet in diameter at the
base, and from Is to 30 feet high, of a
conlcal form, the slope being about
45 degrees. These mounds were a
shaking bog to their SUBMITS, where
were found circular opening 6 to
8 feet in diameter. filled with clear
cold water and Of unknown depth, a
pole 8 feet long being their only means
of testing the latter. Most singular
of all, few feet from these walls up
on digging from Is to "a inches SOL
id body of ice was found.

A bill Was passed at the last session
of the New Hampshire legislature that
possibly may affect Minnesota, and
other States as we'll. It provides that
any citizen Of that State holding dis.
honered claim against another State
may assign the same to the State of
New Hampshire, and upon giving se~
curity to cover all the costs of the pro-
ceeding, the encouragement of the
State, being satisfied that the demand
is meritorious one, shall institute an
action upon it in the supreme court Of
the United States in the name of the
State of New Hampshire, the proceeds
of the judgment, when collected, to be
made over to the bondholder. Several
such actions may be looked for, it is
said.

The crops in this county are simply
enormous this season. Louis Hamlin
spent the most of last week in Rich
Prairie township, setting up harvesters
and looking after those that had al
ready been set up, and he says he new
er saw such yield Of grain before.
He says that he is confident that one
hundred acres of Charles Salisbury's
wheat will yield at least thirty bush>
els per acre, aud that he can name q
good many farmers in that part of the
county who will have at least three
thousand bushels Of wheat each. He
made trip to Culdrum also, and says
that grain is equally as good in that
direction, though the area sown to
grain is much less. Reports from all
parts of the county are similar, and
old farmers declare that the average
yield Of wheat per acre in this county
cannot fall below twenty-five bushels.

It is rumored that work will be
commenced at once on a line Of rail-
road from Morris via Browns Valley
to the Black Hills. The St.. Paul &
Pacific r. R. Go are to build the line
and if rumors are true an early start
will be made. We cannot vouch for
the truth Of the report, but this COM
pany has had the construction of line
over that route in contemplation for
some time past, and considering the
rich tract Of country it would open to
settlers, and the need of road in that
direction for the convenience of the
country west Of US, the enterprise or
project is feasible one.-Stevens Co.
Tribune.
That is doubtless mere ruse of
the St. Paul & Pacific to defeat the
building Of the Little Falls & Dakota
railroad. Even if the branch from
Morris is built, the farmers in that
part of the State would still be under
the thumb of the Minneapolis millers.

The total expense Of taking care of
