There is quite little sensation here
now in school district 102, on account
of the minority of the voters voting to
move the site on land for which they
have no title, and also tax of $3.50 to
build new school house. Some claim
tits not legal, and it seems there is not le-
gal talent enough in Mankato to decide
the point, and some of US that have the
heaviest taxes to pay feel like paying
under protest until it is settled.
Quite sensation has pervadcd this
region on account of rumOr that some
unknown, selfish, mean, misery, sly,
renegade was bargaining with Mark II.
Dunnell to get permission to drain Jack
son Lake and get the land for draining
it; when the fact is THAT some four or
five farmers living near and owifing the
land around a muddy and Doggy lake
near Blue Earth City were so annoyed
by the black birds that they concluded
to drain the lake mt cost of some five or
six hundred dollars, and proposed to
take legal steps to get the land for pay.
Some one is to blame for getting the
thing so mixed up.
1 have something against our county
treasurer, because he proposed to pub
lish every mans personal tax that was
over $40. Mine was not published and
| sent him $40 and he would not have
it because he said the taxes was sixteen
and over, 50 must send again. l do
not find fault with the amount of taxes,
for it is about in keeping with my
neiehbors in comparison with other
years. But I considered it virtual
Misrepresentation OF my honesty in Civ.
ing my property to the assessor. But i
presume it WAS an oversight.

State Of Man Before Death.

A Danish physician, E. Hornemann.
has written an interesting essay on the
state of man just before death. Much
experience and fine insight have led
the author to conclusions which can not
but be grateful to those who stand at
death-bed, to those who mourn over .
loss, and to those who fear death. Here
is one statement out of many: The
feeling of deaths approach changes and
purifes the inner sense, while the outer
sense, including that Of bodily pain, is
made dull by tho gradual decrease Of
the vital functions" The experience of
others corroborates this. A slow death
usually prepares the mind Of the patient
for the final step, and often makes the
latter welcome. Hence, 80 few people
who are MORALLY i'll are really afraid to
die. Persons who have for q time lost
the use of their senses by drowning or
suffocation confirm this experience,
while persons in perfect health shrink
from death as they do from eating an
unknown drug or from playing with un-
known animals. Death seems hard
chiefly to surviving friends.

Prof. Bouchardat attributes to The
vine powerful sanitary properties. He
asserts that wherever it Is cultivated to
any considerable extent there is very
sensible diminution Of intermittents.
The virtue is attributed to the action Of
the vine on the efiluvia which cause
fevers.
In . paper by M. Muntz on the con-
servation of grain in reservoirs, read be-
fore the French Academy of Science, il
is stated that to secure all the advan-
tages of such means of storage the grain
should be comparatively dry, the closure
perfect, the temperature of the walls
pretty constant.
"A simple hygrometer can be made
by piece of catgut and straw. Tho
catgut, twisted, IS put through hole in
q dial, in which straw is also placed.
In dry weather, the catgut curls up; in
damp, it relaxes; and so the straw is
turned either to the one side or the other.
Straws do not only 'sshow which way
the wind blows" you see.
"A corporation has been recently Or

be finished by one operator in one day,
where one hundred and fifty to two hum

Mr.. w. H. Preece has determined,
with very close approximation to &C

sion is that lightning rod protects .

having its radius equal to the height OF
the rod. This was the conclusion Ar
rived at by Sir William Snow Harris
when engaged in fixing his protectors to

Jack and l had been married q wear
before we went to housekeeping. People
say that>the first year of married life is
the most trying. All I can say is that
we did not find it so. We never had q
word of serious difference SO long as we
boarded, but almost as soon as we were
settled in our own tiny, pretty house,
our troubles began.
Jack and 1 have never been quite able
to decide when our unpleasantness COM
menced. He puts the date of it in June,
when Lettuce Green went to Europe, and
left ME her canaries as a parting gift
two of the lovliest little yellow and green
darlings that ever were seen. That is
quite absurd, though. The real trouble
began month later, when he himself
brought home the great, clumsy, blum
dering Newfoundland pup, which was
the pest of the house for many long
day.
1t wasn't so bad at first. Jack only
laughed when he saw the canaries, and
said, s.Why, Madge, little woman, you'll
have your hands full now, if you never
did before"
Nonsense!" I said; ssit's nothing to
take care of pair of BIRDS" But Jack
only laughed.
Such darlings - those birds were! I
can't say that they ever learned to know
me mot really, you know. They flut-
tered just as much and were just as hard
to catch the last day that let them out
of their cage as on the first. That
was one of the things that Jack objected
tony letting them out of their cage, l
mean. Jack wrote, you see-for the
press, I mean-and the back parlor,
which was also his study, was the only
place where 1 could keep the birds.
Really, Madge," said Jack one day,
"I wish you could find some other place
to keep those birds, or else wish you
would not let them out of their cage.
Their favorite promenade is my desk,
and never can find paper that want
after they have been roofing about
there
But, jack" I said, "they must have
their morning fly, poor little dears, and
have always let them have it while
you are taking your constitutional, SO
that they need not disturb you. If you
would rather have me let them out
while you are at home, though"
"Thanks, not any," said Jack. It's
bad enough to see the results, without
