Following we give a list of the i'm.
provements in the village of Wadena
during the past year. This is no mere
estimation, but the actual cost as tax.

The FARMER feel honored to be called
upon to herald to the world proof of
the energy and push of the citizens
of Wadena, and to know that we are
among people of enterprise and pluck,
who will not let the grass grow under
their feet. For a village of only $50 or
400 inhabitants, we think it has done
remarkably well, and our people can
commence the new year with a feel
ing Of pride and satisfaction over
their last twelve mon4hs of work.
We will say, for the benefit of our
readers, that we have given the cost of
the church to date, which will cost
when finished. So, 500.

alive In her Grave.

The papers of Franklintown, North Caro-
lima, report a remarkable case Of suspended
animation, burial and resurrection in the
person of married lady in that place, who
possessed gold watch and finger rings,
which she often expressed desire to have
buried with her whenever she should die.
Finally she was taken i'll and her life seemed
to gradually ebb away until her attending
physician pronounced it extinct. At her
burial her previously expressed desire was
complied with, and the second night after
the intcrment white man and negro
went to the grave e'and exhumcd her for the
purpose of Of obtaining the buried jewelry.
AS they took the lid off the coffin and the
negro began pulling the ring off her finger,
she raised up. At this both men took fright
and ran away. Finally the negro went
back and she asked him what he wanted
He told her he wanted her rings and the
white man her watch. She requested to
see the white man, whom the other soon
found and brought TO he-. She requested him
to go home with her. He did so, and when
she reached the door she knocked. Her
husband opened the door, but tainted when
lie saw her, thinking 1t was his dead wifc's
ghost. Tho lady is now living. and bids
fair to attain good old age.

How tho Early virgInians aot Wives.

The history of the Commonwealth of
Virginia, commenced with an auction sale
mot, however, in store, but beneath the
green trees of Jamestown, where, probably,
the most anxious and interested crowd of
auction habitucs ever known in the history
of the world were gathered. In a letter,
still to be seen, dated London, August q,
1921, and directed to o worthy colonist of
that settlement, the writer begins by saying:
"We send you Shipment, one widow
and eleven maids, for wives of the people
of Virginia. There has been especial care
In the choice of them, for there hath not
one Of them beon received but upon good
recommendations. In case they cannot be
presently married, we, ,desrejth they may
be put with several householders that have
wives, until they can be provided with hus-
bands,
] But the wfiter Of this epistle had little
reason to fear that any Of the 'srnaidens
fair would be left over. The arch YES
contain evidence to prove that these first
cargoes' of young ladies were put up at auc-
ton and sold for one hundred and twenty
pounds Of tobacco each, and 1t was ordered
that this debt should have precedence over
all others. The solitary zone widow" went
along with the others, for they could not
be particular In those days. The good
ministriof the colony no doubt had busy
time that day. He did not mention any
fees, nor did the bridegrooms think Of ten
dering any. AL was Joy and gladness no
storms ahead, no inquisitlve clerk to stand
and say; "Here's the license, fork over
that one dollarl" Nothing of tile sort
From some Of these couples the first tami.
lies of Virginia are descended.

A Cuban NIIlksnan.

., Few matters strike the observant stranger
with stronger sense of their popularity
than tho cuban milkman's mode Of supply
ing that necessary aliment to his town or
city customers. Driving his sober kline from
door to door, he deliberately milks just the
quantity required by each customer, de-
livcrs 1t, and drives on to the next The
patient animal becomes as convcrsant with
tho residences of her masters customers as
he is himself, and stops, unbiddcn. at regu-
lar intervals, before the proper houses, often
followed by a pretty little calf, which
amuses itself by gazing at the process,
while 1t wears q leather muzzlc to prevent
Its interference with the supply of'mlk in
tended for another quarter. There are,
doubtless, two good reasons for this mode
of delivering milk in Havana nnd the large
towns In Cuba. First, til, TO can be 10 d.
lpting Of the article; and seconu, It is sure
TO be sweet and fresh, this latter particu-
lar desideratum IN a climate where milk
without Ice can be kept only a brief period
without spelling. OF course, the effect
upon the animal Is by no means salutary,
and Cuban COW gives about one.third as
much milk as one In America. Goats arc

AmericaniEing london.

The opening of the new hotel In Trafal-
gar square marks one stage in what is called
Amel lcanization in London. Our cousins
tell us that we have not succeeded in de-
vcloping the genuine article; bnt we have
certainly made good many steps in that
direction. Whether the change Is or is
not an improvement may be settled by those
Wise persons who have made up their minds
as to the true significance of modern pro-
grcss. 1t is curious Is remark that the al
teration In the character of English inns
was almost the sole case in which even
Macauley could not preserve his entire COM
placency when comparing our own time
with that of our ancestors, He tries to
reconcile himself to the admission of our
relative inferlority by the doubtful con-
sideration that good inns mean bad roads.
ut Is evident, he says, that, all other
circumstances being supposed equal, inns
will be best where the means of locomotion
are worst" In the seventeenth century q
traveller required twelve or thirteen meals
and five or six nights lodgings between
York and London. NOW he finishes his
journey between breakfast and dinner, and
meals are taken Gf the word meal be not
dishonored by applying it to such miscel-
lancous feedlng) during the wretchcd ten
minutes for refreshment. The argument
will hardly bear investigation as it is stated
-''other circumstances" will certainly not
be equal when locomotion becomes easier.
Improved means of travelling implies an in
creased number of travellers; 1t means in
this particular case that whole classes which
used to be sedentary have become NOV
able, and that those who move, move ten
times as as often as before. If people make
fewer stoppages between London and York,
there can be no doubt that the number Of
people in want of a lodging somewhere has
increased at much greater rate than the
total population. If the old roadside inn
is deserted, the inns in the grea lccntrcs
have done muclr more than simply absorb
the custom of their predecessors they have
tapped new sources of demand

Discoveries of Little Things.

The art of printing, probably the par
cnt OF more good than all others, owes its
origin to rude impressions taken (for the
amusement OF childrcm from letters carved
on the bark Of a bcach.trec. This was a
light matter, which thousand would have
passed over with neglect. Gunpowder
was discovered from the falling of a spark
on some materials mixed in the mortar;
or perhaps we should rather say that artil-
lcry was the consequence of this spark and
the due observance of tho circumstance.
The stupcndous results of the steam engine
may all be traced to al individual observing
steam issuing from n bottle just empticd
and placed casually close to a fire. He
plunged the bottle neck into cold water,
and was intelligent enough to notice the in
stantancous rush which ensucd from this
simple condcnsing apparatus Electricity
was discovered by a person observing that
piece of rubbed glass VI some similar sub
stance attracted small bits of paper etc.
Galvanism, again, owes its origin to Ma
dame Galvani's noticing the contraction of
the muscle of a skinned frog which was
accidcntly touched by person at the mom-
cnt.o of the professor, her husband, taking
IN electric spark from machine. He fol-
lowed up the hint by experiments. Pen
dulum clocks were invented from Galileos
observing the lamp in Il church swing to
and fro. The telescope we owe to some
children Of spectacle maker placing two
or more pairs of spectaclcs before each other,
and looking through them at distant OBJ
icct. The glimpse thus afforded was fol-
lowed up by older heads. The baromcscr
originated in the circumstances of pump,
Which had been fixed higher than usual

not to draw water. A sagacious observer

Tho BuZby Crane.

There was good deal Of excitement up
around Spring Mill lately over the Buzby
Patent Crane and Derrick. The machine
was invented by Buzby for the purpose Of
unloading canal boats, and lie claimed for 1t
that with man and a mule, and boy to
drive the mule, he could take load out of
a boat and whlzz it ashore in almost less
than no time.
When Buzby had set up the machine nc
asked us all down to sec how it worked.
Hitchcd TO the single tree of the pole was
very large and fat mouse colorcd mule,
which seemed to be asleep. The duty dc
volving upon that mule was to march
around circle pulling the pole after him.
When every thing was ready Buzby
ordered the boy to stait the mule. The
mule appeared still lingering in the land of
dreams. The boy hit the mule with
stick, and the man on the boat emitted
some horrible epithcts descriptive of tho
mules fearful pccuiarities. Result: con-
tinucd quicsccnce on the part of the animal.
Then Buzby rushed up and bombarded tho
ribs Of the mule with q couple Of bricks,
while the man on the boat having recover
cd his wind, brcathed forth dozen or two
assorted adjcctivcs Of peculiarly offensive
nature. But the mule was either thinking
of the events of It's past life or mcditating
deeply on the uncertainties Of the future,
for he remained perfectly calm.
Then the man on the boat, beside h,m.
self with rage, secured pitchfork, and
leaping ashore with venomous criticisms on
the ecccntricities of mules streaming from
his mouth, proddcd the animal hcrccly with
the prongs. This seemed to attract the
mules attention, for he laid back his cars
and kicked the man eight feet away plump
into the river. When the man emerged,
dripping, he referred to- the mules conduct
in some observations which were not more
distinguished for their intense energy than
for their picturesque variety of metaphor.
When he was pacihed, and persuaded
from murdering the mule, Buzby sent up
to the store and purchased pack of fire.
crackers. The boy was placed on the
mules back, and he crcpt slowly to the
rear, when lie reached over and tied the
crackers TO the tail. When he had dis
mounted, Buzby fixed cigar to a long
stick and ignited the pack.
A very animated explosion followed !;
but tho mule manifested no interest in the
proceedings, excepting that he lifted his

voice and gave loud and hideous below,
which convinced Buzby the animal con.
sidered himself, somehow, the central point
of a Fourth Of July celebration, and was
trying to contribute vocal trifle to the
enthusiasm Of the occasion.
The dampened man on the boat then
engaged, In language luxuriant with wicked
expressions, that the mule should be run
out of the way 80 that he could operate the
machine himself. It struck BnZby as a
good idea. He told the boy to lead the
mule away. The boy unhitched the traces
and tried The mule seemed perfectly con-
tented where he was Then Buzby and tho
boy and the man leaned up against the side
elevation Of the mule, and pushed. The
mule glanced laZily around at them, re-
manning firm, then he swept his near hind
leg under and out again suddenly, flooring
the three pushers instantly. Then he
turned to one Of the bystandcrs and distinct
ly winked twice. Skeptics h~ye qucs-
toned if he really winkcd, but the man
who saw him do 1t is ready to make an
affidavit to the fact.
Buzby then ordered the boy to hitch the
mule again, lest he should happen to change
his mind and resolve to quit unexpectedly.
The man Oh the boat adornlng his language
with new and startling flowers Of rhetoric,
alleged that he would fix the brute. So he
collected some kindling wood and shavings,
and prepared to start bonfire under him.
When the stuff began to burn the mule
stood firm upon three legs, and felt softly
around him with the fourth, scattering the
fire far and wide.
Those who dislikcd improper language
were shocked at the terms employed by the
man on the boat to- characterize this out
rage.
Another fire was kindlcd and pushed
under the mule with pole, after it had
kindlcd into Il fearful blaze. At first the
mule apparently tried to save himself by
throwing hand spring; failing in this he
strove to get up on his hind legs When
he found this wouldn't work. he started
around the ring with a jerk, knock
ing Buzby flat with the pole, nearly BRAIN
ing the boy, and hurting the boatman 80
severely that he fulrly tore the English lam
guagc into shrcds in his anxiety t. do
Justice to the situation.
Then the mule rcvolvcd like lightning
for about ten inmates, at the end of which
time he broke loose and driftcd down the
road toward home, leaving Buzby's Pat
ent Crane and Derrick a heap of splintcrs
and old iron.
Patent rights will be sold cheap to those
who apply carly to Buzby.
