TFE MINNEAPOLIS FLOUR MILLS

TIE MINNEAPOLIS FLOUR MILLS
The four-mills of Minneapolis are now SO
immense that they will turn in -four 30,-
100000 bushels of wheat each year, which
is 100000 or Z, 100000 more than ever
came to that market in one season. 1t
now looks as it Milwaukee and Chicago
will never be able to increase their wheat
supply for the simple reason that interior
mills will purchase the whole crop

Mr.. Walter F. McCune, of Pittsburg,
Pa, writes: "My age is % years. / was
born with an excellcnt constitution, but
at the age of 19, having just finished my
collegiate education, | fell into habits
of dissipation. After six years of fast
living l felt my constitution broken down.
I put myself under the care of one of our
best physicians. His treatment seemed
to do me no good. Finally he said at
best I could live but few years, that my
bowels, kidneys and lungs were all threat
ened with consumption and were fast
wasting away in certain decay. l tried
everything advertised, hoping to gain
relief. Finally orifted into a state of
melancholy and hopeless despair, suffering
excruciatingly from dyspepsia, short
breath, and urinary catarrh. A year ago
I saw Browns Iron Bitters advertised. I
used them, and they acted like charm.
I soon began to enjoy dreamless slumber
and now feel myself man once more,
and have gained 81 pounds since using
the remedy. feel very strong, and can
hold out As pound weight. Browns
Iron Bitters saved my life"

A TRUE CAUSE For REGRET. 1t makes
the heart of every philanthropist sad tc
see to many worthless patent medicines
puffed and advertised for the cure of
chronic diseases. Usually the remedy is
some vile cathartic compound or alcoholic
preparation, combined with buchu, tur-
pentine or other severe diuretic that af-
fords the invalid only temporary relief,
but which has no lasting effect, and In
truth eventually brings on a compile
alton of diseases arising from a state of
wornout and exhausted digestive and
urinary organs that nothing but death
can relieve. Invalids should trust more
to nature for their recovery. A gentle
medicinal tonic that stimulates enfeebled
digestion and strengthens every part of
the system by its soothing and refreshing
effect on both mind and body, is natures
truest and best assistant. Such aremedy
is Browns Iron Bitters medicine sur
passing the sale of all other remedies
whenever its merits become known, for
it acts in such perfect harmony with the
laws of life and health, that all pulmonary,
urinary and digestive troubles are pre-
vented and permanently cured by its
timely use. 1t contains no alcohol, and
will not blacken the teeth. Physicians
and ministers endorse and recommend
it.

WHERE THREE STATES MEET.-There
is stone near Pownal VT, where three
counties aad three States meet, viz,
Massachusetts, Vermont and New York
A while age man leased the spot and
erected la eBFnered shanty contain
ing three-cornered bar, VITA the stone
at its center, and began to dispense corn
Juice without license to the sovereigns
ofthe three States When the Bay State
Constable came in due time with his
handcuffs and warrant, the culprit step
ped into the Vermont corner, and, point
ing to the intervening stone, defied them.
The sane happened to the Vermont offi-
Ger. Then those Constabtes connived to
meet and seize him together. While
they were pulling out their warrants and
handcEffs the New Yorker broke away
from them and got over into the State of
New York, where he was beyond the jur-
isdiction of both Then the majesty of
the law in three States was aroused, and
then three officers moved upon the shan
ty at one and the same time, and the de-
fiant rum-seller was now in hot water.
He carried out the "joke" to the end,
however, lOf SetClilS ol INC IoP VI ol0
stone which stands partly in the three
States, he shouted: Come on and di-
vide nae in three parts, but I'll make it
hot for the one that takes the two-thirds
of me that don't belong to himp' He
had, however, taken too large quantity
of his own medicine to enable him to
preserve his equilibrium on top of the
stone, and while still defying the consta-
bles he fell OF and rolled over into tn e
State of Massachusetts,, where he was Sc
cured by the officer from that State,
and taken to Williamstown in triumph

The sewers Of Paris discharge 262.-
6i6 cubic meters of liquid matter every
twenty-four hours. II is estimated that
the quantity discharged will be in

cubic meters daily. Each cubic meter
of liquid contains two and a half kilO-

kilogramme and half is merely in sus-

Seine, causes an accumulation of ll6.-
600 cubic meters of mud in ayear al the

diture of nearly 100000 francs. Even
this sum is not adequate for the pur-
pose. Far from securing the removal
of the obstruction. it is not even sIf-
ficient to prevent continued accumu-
lation. and the muddy deposits are con-
stantly extending farther down the riv-

How Red. Haired Girls Should Dress

Now that red-headed girls are in

YOU may think it, even the blue-eyed
rossas should never wear blue, for blue
intensities the color of blueeye Here

who can, by wearing blue dress or
blue ribbons, or turquois jewelry, en-
nance the blue of their eyes. Toreturn
to the rossas, they can never wear
pink, albeit there is shadow OF pale
yellowish pink that can be ventured
upon provided you have an artistic eye

and application. They must coniine
themselves to white of creamy hue,

lille. hut I have no doubt our red squir-
rel would have made the leap safely;
then why not the great black squirrel,
since its parachute would be proper
tionately large?
The tails of the squirrels are broad
and long and fiat, not short and small
like those of gophers, chipmunks, wea.
sells. and other ground rodents. and
when they leap or fall through the AIR
the tail is arched and rapidly vibrates.
A SQUIRRELS tail. therefore, is something
more than ornament, something more
than flag; it not only aids him IN fly
inc. but il serves as a cloak. which he
wraps about him when he sleeps. Thus
some animals put their tails TO various
uses, while others seem 20 have no use
for them whatever. What use for tai
has a wood-chuck, or weasel, or a
mouse? Has not the mouse yet learned
that it could get in its hole sooner II 1t
had no tail? The mole and the mead
ow-mouse have very shor. tails. Rats,
no doubt. put their tails to various uses
The rabbit has no use for tali-it
would be in its way; while its manner
of sleeping is such that il does no. need
| a tail TO tuck itself 10 with, as do the
coon and the fox. The dog talks with
his tail; the tail OF the 'possum is pre-
hepsile; the porcupine uses his tail IN
climbing and for defense. the beaver as
tool or trowel; while the tail OF the
skunk serves as screen behind which
it masks its terrible battery.-john Bur

able members of the Phdsnitd0 family,
insects that resemble dead and living
bare twigs and branches, and SO great
is the resemblance that a previous
knowledge of their characters required
to detect them.
A walking stick comes from the East
Indies, over eight inches in length, and
the peculiar woody appearance OF its
Joints is most noticeable. Probably the
most wonderful insect mimic. however,
is the walking leaf. or phillium. The
wings when closed form 4 perfect leaf;
the legs are twigs, the color greeninS
some. while in others curious morbid
spots, similar to the butterfly above de-
scribed, are shown. The veins of the
leaf can be followed exactly as they
radiate from the BODY, which is analo-
gous to the mid vein of the leaf. 1.-THE
reader possesses an oleander that does
not thrive, let the leaves be closely ex-
amined, and a most consummate mimic
will be found sapping the life of the
plant. A microscope is needed to full
iy detect it-a mere scale of the exact
color of the leaf and flattened upon it,
forming to the naked eye component
part of the tissues of the plant, and
easily deceiving the horticulturist who
is puzzled at the dropping condition OF
the plant.
In the examples cited the resemblance
has been used as protection, but an
other class of animals use their odd
shapes to procure them living. Among
them are the lophins of our coast and
MANY of the gurnafds. Covered with
