Military Service in Germany.

The boys, at Is years OF age, the Ger
man youth, rich or poor, must enter the
service of his country. If his relatives
or friends can afford to pay 5000 marks
(about s720) into the treasury the young
man, if belonging to the infantry, can
escape with only one years actual SER
vice, but he must report for drill duty
once every year. His relations or friends
must also keep him in clothes and uni
forms, and pay all the expense the first
year. If he belongs to the cavalry the
fee is from 5000 to 5000 marks, and the
conditions the same. The term of SER
vice in times of peace is five years, but,
until he Is 40 years of age he is liable
to be called on for active service in case
of war. This is the case whether he is
rich or poor. The great majority of
conscripts serve the full five years, leav-
ing the army when they are about %
years of age. Their education is not
neglected in the meantime, and they
have little idle time on their hands, for
they are drilled, and subjected to long
marches nearly every day, in all kinds
of weather.
Thus we see that the Saxon is a good
boy; no one will deny that he is good
soldier; he leaves the army and becomes
a good husband; he is good father,
and he dies, after life of active work,
a good man. What more could be said
for him?
The American small boy does not turn
out any better. But America would be
barren ideality were it not for her
small boys.-Letter from Sarony.

How to Raise Strawberries.

One very important principle is often
overlooked by the cultivator. It is that
the production of the seed or fruit is q
very exhausting process. When a man
buys tree from the nursery and it bears
half dozen samples of fruit the first
year, it stops its growth just about one
year. Hence, until a tree gets good
growth it should not be allowed to bear.
Trees that are growing rapidly do not
bear, and if tree is bearing at all, it is
to the detriment Of the growth.
A strawberry plant usually bears a
crop of fruit and also produces new
vines. Now if the blossoms Of those
plants from which We want to raise new
plants are cut off in season, the whole
strength goes into the new plants, and
1000 runners grown from plants that
are not allowed to fruit are worth more
than 5000 grown from plants that
bore fruit at the same time. Old
plants are worth nothing-ne plants
from an old bed are worth moth
ing. The only plants worth using are
young plants grown from such as are
not. allowed to fruit. The true way to
raise strawberries is to get young plants
of this description and not allow them to
fruit the first year. They will throw out
plenty of strong, vigorous runners, and
the next season before bearing take a
part of these to make new bed. A new
bed should be made every year. When
we plant in the spring we should get no
fruit the same year. The next year we
get the largest crop we ever get. The
vines can stand and bear q partial crop
the next season, or be plowed under as
soon as the crop is gathered.
Like best to raise one full crop and
only one. It is less labor to make a
new bed than to clean up an old one. II
is very little labor to plant an acre OF
strawberries if properly done, and nc
other crop pays 80 well. The only diff
ficulty is to get the right kind Of plants,
but every man can raise the plants him.
self in this way. Strawberries will do
well on any land that will raise good
corn. NJ. w.. in Prairie Farmer.

Bald Heads and Gray.

A prematurely bald physician in New

"Only in general way, perhaps"
"Then let me tell you in word. It

act with their tissue, without entering
nto their structure, so that causes af-
ecting the general health, or affecting

nutrition of the hair"
"What causes premature baldness9"
"1n q great measure the violation Of
aygienic rules, and the excess of mental

"Is there greater disposition to gray

"Well, some weh-informed people
think that it is about the same In all
,ivilized countries !; but if there is any
difference it is because of the hurried
md unhealthful habits of life and mental
exercise among Americans"
"What is the chemical action which
produces gray hair p
Accurately speaking, that's one Of
those things that no fellow can find out.
The color Of the hair depends partly on
the presence of pigment granules, and
partly on the existence of minute air
spaces, which cause it to appear dark by
transmitted light. In Albinos and gray
haired persons this coloring matter is
simply absent"
"Is it the case that hair may, from
extreme fright or other strong emotions,
turn white, as issaid, in single night %
''It is an undoubted fact. Just how
The change takes place is a matter for
conjecture, but it may perhaps be ex-
planned by some chemical action upon
the oily coloring matter. This oily
matter would be withdrawn from the
hair under conditions OF cold, debility
or insufficient food"
"Does gray hair chen become dead 81
"Not by any means. The loss of
vitality does not necessarily follow the
loss of color, for gray hair often grows
vigorously. For that matter, hair will
grow after the body g death. One of the
causes of premature badness and gray

"Tonics and stimulating applications
are sometimes beneficial. When the
hair is thin and falls out easily, shaving
the scalp will often produce thicker,
firmer and darker growth"

PROF. TOUSLEY'S SALARY.

Hid. Glenn Introduces Resolution Into
the city Council Requesting the Board of
Education to Resci7ad Its Acti0n ReLatjUe
to AlIOtUinqI 1t.
At the meeting of the city council Alder
man Glenn introduced the eifollowing resolu-
ton:
WHEREAS, Prof. o. V. Tousley, late su-
perintendent of schools in this city, has
been appointed and accepted position of
consul under the United States govern
ment, and
WHEREAS, 1t appears that the board of
education proposes to continue his salary
as superintendent of education during his
occupancy of said federal Office; therefore,
RESOLVED, That this council would protest
against this appropriation of public money
as illegal and unjust and request the board
of education to rescind their resolution
ordering the same paid.
But while the question was being dis
cussed, an adjournment of the council was
taken before any disposition was made of
the resolution.
For the reason that the action of the
board of education bears the undeniable
stamp of using the school fund in an ille-
gal and unwarranted manner in pensioning
Prof. Tously, who to crafty little per-
sonal pride and to secure opportunities
only offered by travel, accepted an ap-
pointment as consul at Trieste, abandon
ing the public schools of Minneapolis dur
ing the official year of his appointment.
If Prof. Tously was in INDECENT or needy
circumstances he could doubtless find
friends among the members of the board
who was SO generous with the public
IL e L
money to him to help him through. These
gentlemen who voted to continue Prof.
Tousley's salary are wealthy and ca afford
to give him means if he needs it.. But to
take money set aside for the purpose of
educating the children of Minneapolis in
order to make Tousley's trip to foreign
lands profitable to Tousley is condemned
by the community, and it is hoped that
Col. Glenn's resolution will be unanimous
ly passed by the city council at the next
meeting, which will be held this evening.

Expensive Fruit.

One day last week, q couple Of we'll
known Minneapolis gentlemen doing busi-
ness on Nicollet avenue, went to Excelsior
for the purpose of transacting some bust
ness with friend residing near there, and
not knowing the exact location of the
friends house, inquired the way of Mr..
Gould, who is the owner of vineyard on the
lake shore. Mr.. Gould directed them
through his vineyard and then followed to
watch his precious crop. When nearly to
their destination, the gentlemen, suppos-
ing that they were on their friends land,
each reached up and picked bunch of
grapes, but no sooner had thev done SO
than the argxs-eyed Gould descended upon
them and demanded SO each for the two
punches of grapes, which, to avoid delay
and difficulty, the victims paid. Mr.. Gould
has laid himself legally liable to arrest
and imprisonment by his act, and the mat
er of prosecution rests with the robbed.

will be located is not at present known to
the public, though the site has been select

up building that will eclipse
anything ever thought of in that line in
this city. The old company is thus far
confident that the courts will decide in
their favor, and that no new gas works will
be erected for several years to come, while
one of the capitalists Of the new
company claims that Judge Drummond, of
the United States circuit court,
once decided case against him, when he
was ituated exactly as the Minneapolis
company is now.
