4 Hearty Laugh.

Lord Chesterfield never laughed, be-
cause he would not distort his features
by boisterous mirth. Il am sure" he
wrote to his son, 'that since | have
had the full use of my reason, nobody
has eve heard me laugh We cannot
help thinking that it would have been
far better far him if he had occasionally
given way to his feelings, and not i'm
pressed the world with the notion that
he was all starch and formality, that
everything he said or did was c%alcula-
ted. He was the p%olitest, best bred,
most insinuating man about the court;
and yet he was continually |outflanked
and out mannuvered by Sir Robert
Walpole, who had the heartiest laugh
in the kingdom.

Even the confidence men of New
York are liable to mistake their man
occasionally. a ilashily dressed man
seized the hand of Il police justice there,
the other day, and shaking it violently
asked when he came to town. The
Justice said he didn't know him, where
upon the stranger introduced himself
as the manager of Claflin's dry goods
house. He said he knew the Judge well,
but could not recall his name. Its

Artificial Feeding.

Or. Foote's Health Monthly.
In Germany (where great care is OBJ
served in gathering statistics appertain-
ing to human life) it has been found
that of one hundred children nursed
by their mothers, only eighteen died
during the first year; of those fed by
wet nurses, twenty-nine: OF those arti-
ficialIy fed above fifty. And it has been
further found that OF those brought up
in charitable institutions eighty OF every
hundred died. Such facts should re-
ceive the serious consideration of moth
crs who shrink from giving nurse to
their babes simply ON the score Of in
convenience or prudishness. There
are cases where the life of the mother
may be sacrificed to the child in conse-
quence of her own physical weakness
and the baby's inherited %greedin,ss So.
In such a case there can be no question
as to the duty of the mother. She
should protect herself-put the babe
on the best diet attainable, for what Is

had an attack of collie, and as she was
pretty popular with the boarders, they
started in to help her out. One lady came
around with ginger and filled her half

cough mixture, and didn't leave much
room for the rest. That made a row.

..Well, the landlady was suffering a
great deal, partly with pain and partly
because she saw that some of the board
ers were mad, SO in order to restore
peace, she said she'd take a little of
every prescription, and they began to
ladle 'em in. They gave her brandy,
root beer, s%chnapps, catnip, boneset,
mustard, hops, salt, laudanum, salts,
flaxseed, vinegar, cayenne pepper, and
all that, until there were only two
districts to hear from. One was man
and the other was a lady. The man
suggested brandy and flour, and the
rest all kicked. They said he was only
entitled to one ingredient. and ham

the cashier, with considerable interest.

Crop Notes.

MIR. NORM informs us that the wheat
on his farm is being cut and he estimates
that the yield will not be less than Is
bushels to the acre. D. E. Dwyer SAYS
that some of his wheat will yield 10 or 20
bushels to the acre, the Sea Island variety
promising the best. In all the reports
we have thus far received bearded wheat
is reported as indicating a much larger
yield than those varieties which are not
bearded.-Albert Lea Enterprise
A blight appears to have struck pota-
to vines in this locality, and the present
prospect for good potato crop is not so
good as it was two weeks since The
yield will undoubtedly be considerable
less and the quality inferior to what was
anticipated The vines of the early rose
variety are nearly dead and the potatoes
might as well be dug now as ever-Os age
Qo'oa) Ne,os.
If no bad weather interferes until
harvesting is completed fair crop will
be secured. Wheat has considerable rust
and some blight, the rust affecting Sea
Island most and blight Lost Nation. Oats
are about an average crop, or little less,
while barley is fair.--Bloonsing Prairie.
John Sanford brought to our office
q sample of Wheat cut just one week ago
to-day, which was sound and solid with
but few. shrunken kernels in the sample.
To reach field of grain with the harves-
ter it was necessary to pass through this
and set up and at the time both stalk and
the leaves were perfectly green. This
being the case it establishes beyond dis
pute that wheat can be cut much greener
than it is now done. Mr.. Sanford as
sures us that wheat cut at this stage will
make not only more flour but better
Don't be afraid that your wheat is too

the school room during a few weeks at
the close Of last year, gives us the as
surance that her reputation as teacher
will not be second to her reputation for
scholarship and industry. Miss Ellis will
have charge of the sixth grade.
The fifth grade will be taught by Miss
Arminda Smith. 1t would be derogatory
to one who has taught in the schools sew
eral years and who has steadily advanced
from one grade to another, to call atten-
ton to her work or qualifications. And
so we pass Miss Smith with the wish that
no calamitous event may ever take her
from our schools.
Mrs. G. J. Short will resume charge of
the grade she labored in so faithfully last
year. Mrs. Shorts long residence in
Austin and connection with the schools
make any further remarks concerning her
quite uncalled for.
Miss Jessie Rankin, a sister of Prof.
Rankin, will teach and discipline the pu-
pills OF the third grade. Miss Rankin is
unknown both to the school and the peo-
pie Of Austin, for this is her first year
here; but, if we may trust those who
have seen her, we are sure that her genial
nature and social qualities will not long
leave her unknown. Miss Rankin comes
with much experience and good recon-
mendations, and will be favorite with
her pupils.
Miss Chandler will again march and
teach the second grade future presidents
and senator's wives. And we are glad
of it, for Miss Chandler is just the one to
start them all towards positions of honor
and lives of usefulness. She has had
two years of very successful work in our
schools, and We hope that next year our
Board of Education will advance her in
her profession, if she desires it.
The little buds of humanity in the first
grade will be under the tender training of
Miss Una Roberts, by some known as
Miss Una Little. Miss Little is gradu-
ate of the class of 1881 of our high school.
She has taught several terms, but not in
our graded schools. The girl who work
ed so faithfully and patiently to COM
plete the course in our high school can
not fail, where enthusiasm and industry
always win. We are sure that Miss Little
will vindicate the wisdom of the Board
in employing their own graduates, when
they fit themselves for the work.
Mrs. Amanda Clark, teacher widely
known in this county, will take charge of
the third ward school. Under her man
agement and teaching the school will be
second to none of the same grades in the
main building. Her experience at Ram
sey and in other schools of the county, is
her best recommendation, and the only
one she needs.
We have strong corps of experienced
teachers. The coming year ought to
be the best the school shall have known
at its close. And it will, if the children
60 regularly and punctually, and the
parents take the interest which parents
should in the schools of their town or
city.

years. From overwork and the cares of a

ailing from rheumatic pains and severe

lief. My next door neighbor, Mrs. Perry,
told me to try Browns Iron Bitters, and
that it had cured her dyspepsia, irregular
tiles, etc. did so, and have not suffered
an ache or pain since using the first bot

The farm contains 5000 acres. They
have, this year, the following crops, viz:
500 acres wheat, 600 acres corn, 1000 acres
oats, 400 acres fax, 200 acres barley, 900
acres timothy, 40 acres potatoes. They
employ about 100 men, have $50 horses,
20 self binders, 2 steam thrashers, 6 eight
foot cut mowers, besides all other kinds
OF tools and machinery necessary to carry
on such farm.
They keep 1890 sheep, $50 head of cat
tie, of which rs are mich COWS. Their
cattle are mostly short horns. They have
one thorough bred Holstein cow, that has
two very nice twin bull calves at her side.
MIR. Wood spoke very highly of her milk
ing qualities, said that when she first COM
menced to give milk that she furnished
milk for both calves, and he MIXED her
three times day, gettinga large pail full
each time
They also keep four stations, one of
which is Thoroughbred imported Nor
man, Beauty; he weighs about 1900
pounds, and they have him rightly named.
The buildings on the south side are
commodious, numerous and convenient,
everything looking tidy and nice arousd
them.
VIM. Craig very kindly showed us
through the house that he was building
for the farm company on the north side;
it is an addition to the Bulls house; it is
"a feet long by 80 feet wide, and two
stories high. This house is intended for
a residence for Mr.. Wood and a dining
room for the men. They have house
for the men to sleep in which is 18x3O feet
and two stories high, about four rods
north of the former. They also have on
this farm one mile of sheds for sheep,
forming hollow square, corn crib 3Ox75
IL feet high, COW shed 24x75. horse barn
25x25O feet, several graneries, two wind
mills, etc.
Mr.. Wood must have all that he can at
tend to, overseeing this large farm and
all the men that he employs. He also
has to keep all of the books of the COM
pany, and pay off all of the help, which
of itself is more work than any banker in
the county has to do, and they usually
keep from four to five clerks.-LeIoy H.

Saturday morning early the Circus Roy
al pitched its tents on the Seneca street
grounds. The rain poured down at about
the same time, and kept pouring down
with occasional intermissi0ns for breath,
all day. But there was large crowd on
hand to see the street parade, and although
the grounds about the tent were soon
beaten into soft pasty mud, and little
rlvulets OF water ran down the canvas
upon the spectators, there were large au.
diences for both afternoon and evening
performances. The manager of the cir.
Gus said this was their sixteenth day of
rain, and under the circumstances it
could not be expected that the show would
be up to its best. Nevertheless, the ring
performance was good, and had the horses
not been obliged to wade through mud,
and the riders and tumblers forced to ex-
ercise caution the audience would have
been treated to frst.class exhibition.
The circus has good riders, both male and
female with it, and among them some of
the best In the United States. They have
also trick elephant which is superior to
any other ever shown in the ring. The
menagerie contains many rare and curious
beasts, and their aggregation is all that it
10 advertised to be. In this respect the
people were disappointed; many think
ing that because the admission price was
low. the show was cheap one. when In
1 fact it is 8 leading circus and menaperie
