On the 1st day of March, 1881, the state
capitol was burned, together with many Of the
archives of the state. The state library was
located on the upper floor and in close prox-
unity to where the fire broke out. The result
was that out of 1880 volumes only some 800
were saved. Since that time the state
librarian, Col. w. H. Il. Taylor, has been
indefatigable In his efforts to replace the lost
volumes and build up the library anew. In
his efforts he has been greatly aided by the
generous contributions of sister states, and
to-day Minnesota has a very fair showing,
consisting of S,727 volumes, classified as fol-

By way of encouraging this sindustry the
State Fair association this year offers $40 in
premiums for butter and cheese, a sum nearly
seven times greater than that offered by the
state of Illinois, which is recognized as the

brought about by Messrs. Marvin, Judson, the
efficient secretary of the Fa r association,

In conversing with gentleman to-day

New York some two or three years ago, two
ladies, who resided near Rochester, Mrs.

the many dairy fairs held since. They had

saucers, crosses, shields, and many other
devices, besides thir own names and The state
they hailed from. The display was simply ele-
giant, and attracted the visitors at the fair as
no other display did, and then ii was conceded
that Minnesota could produce little better
butter than even old Orange county, which
had held the scepter for many years. New
Workers were compelled to admit that as the

SuPERSTITIONS OF FISHERMAN.


The old belief in lucky and unlucky sailing
days is said to be dying out among the Glou-
cester fishermen, fact said to be due, in a
degree at least, to the sharp competition that
has sprung up. 1t il not an unusual sight,
when fine Fridaycomes after spell of bad
weather to see large fleet spread sail and
depart for the fishing grounds. A belief in
"Jonahs" prevails among fishermen. A
Jonah may be something animate or mani
mate, or even the result of the actions or ac-
cidents of persons in fact, almost everything
that is supposed to bring i'll luck is called a
Jonah. A vessel regarded as unfortunate is
thus said to be Jonah ii is often difficult
TO obtain crew Of good men for her. If men
are scarce, although she may be well adapted
for the business. Equal trouble is also some
times experienced by expert fishermen in
securing berth aboard vessel, because
they have the reputation of being Jonahs.
The belief in Jonahs fortunately often meets
with rebuff so severe as to hinder II from
becoming anything like general one. One
skipper once inquired of another nodding
his head in the direction Of man at work
on the vessel: care you going to carry
that man ~ Receiving an affirmative reply,
he continued: "You won't get any fish,
then. He's regular Jonah" The reply
was Jonah or no Jonah, he goes this
trip anyway" The trip in question proved
a successful one, and nothing more was
heard Of the man being Jonah.

BEAUTIFUL RED HAIR.

In cutting up an oak tree in Maine a lock
of red hair was found so far inside the tree
that il is estimated the hair was put in the
tree 240 years ago. 1t was probably cut Oft
and put in there by sensitive girl when red
hair was out of style, and red-haired girl
was laughed at and twitted about the san
culinary color of her head covering. We are
not 240 years old, but can remember when
red-headed girl was burden to herself,
because her hair gave her away. A young
man had to have good deal of indepen-
dence who would escort red-haired girl
anywhere, and the girls invariably became
old maids. 1t would have been a picnic to
those girls if they could haze lived about
these days, when girl with beautiful red
hair is considered about the sweetest flower
in natures garden. Now that we remember
it, the red-haired girls always were good
looking, and smarter than chain lightning,
and it is a COMPOUNDED shame they didn't
come into style years ago. They are not
cutting off their hair and burying 1t now
days. Picks Sun.

WALL STREET. AND INSANITY.

Considering the small amount of brains
necessary to successful Wall street specu-
lator, it is n wonder that under the constant
nervous excitement consequent upon rapid
losses and gains all day, more brains do not
give way in Wall street. Added to this is
the habit of grog-sipping during the day to
"keep up steam," MS the Wall street men
call it, and the extravagant dissipation whom
they make lucky turn. Specialists hayo
already given u name to the disturbance,
calling it the gamblers melancholy. The
first symptom visible to friends and acquaint

day dreams of the most extravagant charac-

what could be done with such q fortune.
Longing for fortune, it may be said, is not

animal spirits and ceaseless mental and
bodily activity to sit all day longing for
fortune is O serious sign and is recognized as
such in Wall street Offices The intention of
making big fortune by happy turn OF the
wheel is so constantly in the mind of the
Spectator that no wonder it assumes tho
form of a mania sooner or later. Profess
ional gamblers are sometimes affected in q
similar way, sitting oil day shutting tho
cards in corner and dealing themselves
hands with which they could break the
banks. But, as this specialist pointed out
the professional gambler has an interval Of
comparative mental quiet between chgame.
He knows when he goes to bed how much he
has made or how much he has lost he
knows where he stands. The stock gambler
never knows that. He may go to bed rich
and wake up poor. l know broker who
