Ed. Healy, young man residing in Hudson,
making his first trip as brakeman on a
freight train, recently came to ter
rible death between Wykof and Pennington.
He was thrown into the track by break of
couplings and crushed and nangled most fear
fully.
A drunken varlet by the name of Valet came
near being cremated the other night in cell
of the Jail in Litchfeld. In his maudlin condi-
ton he attempted to feed the fire in the stove
by poking the Stats and straw of his bed into
the stove outside of his cell. The fire got
into his cell, and timely discovery only saved
him from being burned to death.
The Crookston Chronicle of January 10,
issued it's thirteenth number of Vol III. 1t
has grown to the dimensions of an eight
column folio, and is printed all at home, and
is, therefore, what it purports to be, an abso-
lutte specimen of Crookston home manufac-
ture. 1t is handsomely printed and well edited
and in every way creditable to journalistic en-
terprise.
The Crookston Chrcnicle is authority for
the statement that complaints are coming in
from the inhabitants on the banks of Maple
Lake, of depredations being committed by
timber thieves. A section of very finely tim
bered school land at the east end of the lake,
has been nearly stripped OF its timber, by the
timber thieves. Most of the thieves can be
identified. It is somebody's business to make
movement for their arrest and punishment.
In regard to the killing of James E. Ches-

last by Charles W. Hayes, the Glencoe Regis
ter in regard to the result Of the charge of
murder, which occurred last week in Glencoe,
says: ssAfter a thorough investigation and
an impartial trial, the most that could posi-
bly, be made of it, was granddaughter in the
fourth degree, and we shall not be stating
more than the truth, when we say, that at
least nine out of every ten who listened to the
evidence, believe that it was case of justifi-
able homicide and that the jury erred in their
verdict

The Champion Centenarian.

Aunt Tamah Brooks, who was at the
exposition on Thursday and Friday last,
is possibly the oldest negress, if not the
oldest person, in America, having reach
ed the remarkable age of 1913 years.
She was born in Roanoke County, Vir-
ginia, in 1853, as is shown in the Bible
record of the family OF, Thomas Yancey.
She was the property of William Yam
cey, and al his death was given to his
son, Thomas Yancey, for house serv-
ant. Before his death she was employ
ed in supervising the domestic affairs of
the household, and as a nurse in cases
of sickness. At the death of Thomas
Yancey she was transferred to one of the
legatees of his estate, Mrs. Wilson
Walker Brooks, who died on the 9th of
December last, at the age of seventy
eight. Aunt Tamah is the mother of
seventeen children, all of whom reached
their maturity. Her baby son, who at
tends her every day in the railroad
building of the cotton exposition, is an
old white-headed man, siXty-nine years
old. Aunt Tamah is remarkable for
her strength of memory, remembers the
three great wars of America, and tells
many interesting incidents concerning
them. She was in Virginia when the
revolutionary war broke out, and recol-
lects distinctly the starting out of our
fore-fathers to fight for the liberty of our
country. She is very active and ener-
getic considering her extreme age.
Only the present year she had the little
negro boys and girls bring the stalks
of cotton from the fields. that she might
pick the bolls. She raises many chick
ems, and takes as much interest in her
pursuits as any girl of siXteen.-AtLanta

Climbing Plants for Windows.


A recent English writer gives the fol-
lowing, which suggests a way in which
hardy wood climbers might be made
available for window decoration in win
ter or early spring: "Some years ago,
as was passing through a room used
only occasionally, perceived an odor
of fresh flowers that surprised me, as
none were ever kept there. On raising
the curtain of the east window | saw
that branch of Dutch honey-suckle
bad found its way between the two
sashes at one corner, while growing in
the summer, and had extended itself
quite across the window; and on the
branch inside there were three or four
clusters of well-develOped flowers, with
the usual accompaniment of leaves,
while on the main bush outside there
was not yet a leaf to be seen. The flow
ers inside were just as beautiful and fra
grant as if they had waited until the
natural time of blooming. Since then [
have tried the experiment purposely,
and always with the same result" A
heavy covering of the ground over the
roots of the plants with leaves, and suffi-
cient protection of the stem outside,
would allow this method to be practiced
in quite severe climates. CGnadG

The Newspapers of the World.

From late publication it is learned
that there are published 34,274 news
papers and periodicals, with a circula-
ton of Gin round numbers) 1l6,000,000
copies, the annual aggregate circulation
reaching 1882, 900, 600 copies, or about
six and one-half papers per year to
each inhabtant of the globe. Europe
leads with 1857, and North America
follows with 12,4O0, the two together
making over nine tenths of all the pub
LEGATIONS in existence. Asia has 775 |;
South America, 600 ; Australasia, 66l,
and Africa, 1872. OF all these, 16.500
are printed in the English language,
$500 in German, $3.50 in French, and
over 1000 in Spanish. There are 4,O2O
daily newspapers, 1924 tri-weeklies

TWO BOYS.

Coat, cat cat, cat CAT, cat.n
These words were uttered by voice
in a tiny, unfinished room in the pitch
of the roof. A small piece of tallow
candle spluttered and fared on the Win
dow-sill, throwing strange shadows into
the dim corners and among the rafters
overhead. A young man in rough
clothes was in the room leaning over a
book held close to the CANDLE He was
spelling out the words slowly and pain
fully, over and over, Goat, cat; cat,
cat; bat bat"
At last he heard the clock down stairs
give long w-h-i-r-r-r-r, and then begin
to strike. He looked up and counted
twelve. Then he closed the book, blew
out the candle, hastily threw off his
clothes, and was soon sound asleep be-
side his companion, Ned, who had been
already three hours in bed
The sun had not yet iisen when he
awoke. In q moment he was up, and
dressed, and studying away again.
Hat, hat; hat, hat; and so on through
all the ats. Then he began again.
"Be you up, boys?" cried a rough
voice down stairs. q" Come, hurry up
and git to work. " . .I.
Ned rolled slowly over in bed, and
stretched his arms, and .yawned.
"Oh, what a fool you be, Jack Lewis"
he drawled out in sleepy tone. Don't
you git enough work without stickin'
over them booksP
II don't care,n answered Jack. I'm
bound to get an education. I've never
had a chance yet, since I've been bound
out, but I'll be my own master in year
now, and the schoolmaster he's put an
idea or two into my head"
"Well, you're fool, that's ALL said

A year had passed by. 1t was the
first day of school, and the children
were flocking toward the little black
school-house. The teacher, who was
seated on high platform behind desk,
wiped his glasses, raped on the desk,
and called the school to order.
He arranged the classes-first the
scholars in advanced arithmetic and ge-
ography and history; then, class in
decimals and grammar; and so on till he
came to the last. H..W

Superstition OF Miners.

The foreign iron miners in the Penn
sylvania coal mines believe that whis-
Ting in anime is absolutely certain to be
followed by some calamity, and they
city several stories of disasters which
have happened to unbelieving Ameri-
cans who haye defied fate in that way.
Over forty years ago shaft which was
not properly supported by timbers was,
on account of the danger, about to be
abandoned. AS the miners were quit
ting work for the last time one of them
began whistling, and as his companions
demonstrated he only whistled louder
and faster. In the midst of it a dull
roaring sound was heard, and the
whistler stopping, babe them all to run
for their lives. In spite of the warning.
they were imprisoned by the, falling
walls, but were all rescued alive except
the whistler who was crushed to death
instantaneously. This incident has
stood for many years as warning
against all whistling in the mines, which
drives away the good spirits" About
ten years ago mine boss imagined he
heard somebody whistle, but investiga-
ton proved that he was mistaken. He
was assured, however, that it was very
ominous, and that he might expect
some trouble to befall him. That night
he was shot dead bya 'Aolly Mcguire"
and the miners believe that it was the
thistle of the fatal bullet that he heard
ivit the morning.

About his strong, white forehead
The rich locks thronged aud curled,

A sound Of bitter weeping
Came up to his quick ear,

Secretary Hunt has placed upon the
official files of the Navy Department
letter of very unusual character for Office
files The letter is an answer sent by
the Secretary to a young naval officer
who wants to get married and will, in a
very short time, consummate that desire.
The young officer in question has most
excellent record, but is not troubled
with a superabundance of funds. In or
der that he might carry out the mar
riage ceremony in some style, he made
a request for an advance of pay. Secre-
tary Hunt has replied that he las di-
rected that the advance asked for be
made, and that he commends both the
efficiency and good standing of his cor
respondent, to whom he wishes all pros
perity; and then Mr.. Hunt adds little
homily upon marriage, and advises, in
a general way that it is a good thing
for all young men, even naval officers,
to get married.

In the Commons Forster admit.
ted that it was true that the Coer-
cion Act had not done great deal,
but he declared that 1t had done
something. It had prevented many
outragss and murders by enabling
the authorities to lock up those
who otherwise might have COM
mitted acts OF violence. There
were, he said, signs of hope, but
outrsges must be stopped. If they
we're not it would become his duty
and the duty OF the House of Com.

a Mountain of Iron.

About a mile north OF Durango is
a wonderful mountain OF solid iron
ore, called the Cerro del Mercado.
The ore is said to be entirely free
from phosphor and sulphur, and to
assay from so to 70 per cent. pure
iron. That part of the mountain
above the ground measures s, $50
feet long, 1890 feet broad and 702
feet high. The iron produced is 20
soft that it bends and twists like
wax. and will bear comparison with
to best Norway. An engineer has
estimated its value at $40, 600, ,000,.
600, and made the somewhat aston
ishing calculation that at the rate
of l 900, 900 tons a year, 1t would take
over 800 years to level the hill to
the ground. The great Humboldt,
who, by the way, never came as far
as Durango, was induced to believe
the deposit was Al aerolite, similar
to that of Zacatecas, and reported 1t
40, put was much mistaken, as furth-
or investigation proved. Frederick
Weidner, an eminentGerman scien.
tist, who carefully examined the
mountain during elk months in
1851, attributes, with right, its ap-
partition to a tremendous volcanic
eruption. It has been ascertained
that the same ore extends under
the plains of Dnrsngo, where it in.
terrupted the completion of an arte-
sian we'll at q depth of 800 feet, a
mile and half from the foot of
the Cerro. This is without doubt
the most marvellous iron deposit in
the world.-Erchange.
