A Handsome Beat.
Duluth Daily Tlmes.l

Duluth Daily Times.l
Joseph Lloyd has commenced the
construction of a boat which, when
completed, will be one of the hand
soonest and most substantial that sails
at this port. 1t is eighty six feet over
all, fourteen feet beam, 10x12 feet
keel and four feet eight inches in the
hold, while the engine will be 12x14
The entire frame will be of oak and
the lumber used is Of az fine stock as
We have ever seen placed in a vessel.
The walls will be three and one fourth
inches thick of solid oak, which will
make her very strong. She will have
two decks with a promenade around
the outside. Mr.. LLOYD informs us
that he intends sparing no money in
securing one of the handsomest arc
best boats possible. She will be run
between this place and Superior as a
ferry, and he also intends running the
Zero next season as a freight boat. G.
A. Bishof will be captain and Ed.
England will be the engineer on the
new boat. She will be completed and
ready for running upon the opening of
navigation.

A Protesting Chamber
From the Duluth Times.l

lfrom the Duluth Times.
The chamber of commerce yesterday
adopted lengthy resolution threaten
ing congress that unless Duluth is
made the main office of the customs
districts OF the northwest, they, (the
chamber of commerce) will protest.
This must make congress quake in its
boots. A protest from the chamber
commerce Of the Zenith City of the
unsalted seas! Think of it congress
men, IN time, or else YOU will repent
1t would be better for congress to have
all the women's conventions in the
country bear down upon it, than a
single protest from our chamber.
These protests mean something. They
are written in passable English, and
the words are so strung together AS to
convey sense, and if congress can not
make out any meaning, that is owing
to the stupidity Of the members, not
to the chamber of commerce. When
the Duluth chamber of commerce en-
tiers protest against anything, the
stars sink back in wondering expec-
fancy waiting for the world to fall
into chaos. The moon grows pale and
the sun turns red in the face. These
protests have been so powerful in the
past. They haye always prevented
what they were protesting against.
The Duluth chamber of commerce has
done nothing but protest ever since it
was born, years and years ago. 1t
has sent protests to the state legisla-
ture, to the governor, to congress, and
next it will be sending one to the Al
mighty against the stringency of
money. There is nothing in the
heavens above, or in the earth beneath,
or in the waters under the earth,
which this chamber has not protested
against. 1t never meets after an
election that it hasn't got something
to protest against. And for the last
four years it has been protesting
against the representatives Of this dis
trict in the state legislature. The
chronic professors of this body repre-
sent only themselves in the commu-
nifty; and therefore find themselves in
a very, very small minority. They
have always got grievances, and they
love to air them. 1t relieves them.
They would explode otherwise. But
if they would stop protesting a little
while, and get up and do something,
they would give more satisfaction.

A Dakota settler says pumpkins
could be raised there but the vines
grow so fast that they wear the pump
kins out dragging them around over
the prairie. Farmers III the spring
plant beet seed close to their house,
and in the fall pull up the beet and
brick up the hole for cistern.-Ex.
That's nothing. When Bill Knowles
kept the hotel at Marshland he plant
ed some cucum1ers in his garden. He
intended to plant a dozen hills but
while he was putting the seed in the
third bill the vines from the other two
commenced growing around his legs
SO fast that he thought he had better
cut them. He put his hand in his
pocket to get his knife to cut them,
and there he found a cucumber gone
to seed. This is just as he told us,
and Ed. ST. John says he can swear

The Duluth people will never
lack anything from too much modesty
to ask for it, III they want ROW is to
have the government build new
bridge across their canal to again con
meet them with Minnesota Point,
which they sent adrift; TO spend SILL
600 in building roads 50 that people
can get to the town, and other larger
sums in improving their water front
And then they want the y. p. railroad
company to build Il railroad and
wagon bridge across the St. Louis so
they can get a decent outlet through
Superior, and they will no doubt soon
be asking to have Douglas county de-
tached from Wisconsin and attached
to their county so they can really have
town without the trouble Of calling
it ''South Duluth" They volunteer
the wind if some one else will furn-
ISL the cash, and build them up.

The True Wife.

The true wife not only has the
confidence of her husband, but the
affairs in her especial care flourish
like a garden in height OF summer :;
all things beautiful spring from her
touch, and he enjoys the blessing of
her tact and taste, without fully re-
alizing how it comes. She loves the
praise of her husband, which should
not be stinted, and she is DESTROYS
to share in his lfe-work and his
confidence and esteem is all the re-
ward she asks. She will never over
tax his income, for she knows how
much it is; and her share of it is
always well expended, and, although
she may sometimes long for an in
crease of worldly goods, she never
reproaches him when he is diligent
and does his best to maintain his
family i'll ease and comfort.

Hand Stalking.

Hand shaking is British. The
Younger III society, in his glass of
faslion,enumrrate5 its various STYLES
as indicative Of character. These
are aggressive, supercilious, lympa-
theiic, emotional, but none Of these
are required by etiquette. And vet
To shake, or rat her take, or give a
hand, III mere conventional greeting
is a cultivated art Of society. A gen
t!einan cannot take "A lady's hand
unless she offers it and an American
authority on etiquette reminds him
that he must not pinch or retain it,
a young lady must not offer hers
first, or shake that given her unless
she is the gentleman friend. A
lady should always rise to give her
hand, and in her own house she
should always offer it in greeting
strangers and friends alike. In the
ball room, however, hand shaking is
not the thing. 1t is also the prIvi-
lege OF the superior 10 be the first to
proffer the hand. An American is
chary Of his hand; in these progress.
sive times IA nod is considered sufli.
cient, except IN conservative Vir-
glnla aud the South generally,
where family traditions of Old court
ly, and kind observance still obtain.

A Thrilling Incident.

1t was In the cabinet maker
shop, and a party of strangers were
looking at the different labor saving
devices. One gentleman, very short
sighted, had tarried at the bench
across the room. He was examining
IA circular saw that was whirling its
teeth with lightning like rapidity.
Absorbed, interested in the piece of
mechanism, his face grew nearer
and nearer the cruel teeth tearing
round aud round with remurseleSs
energy. Al this instant his friends
turn about. They his danger.
Inevitably the gap grows smaller.
Spell bound they are unable to utter
IA word They cannot endure to see
their friend torn and lacerated, and
instinctively they shut their eyes.
Then comes the awful jar of the col
lsiOn. There is a whirling sound
and crash. A shudder runs thro'
them all. The next instant they
hear the voice of the cabinet maker;
"Of course you will pay for that
saw, sir" Their friend had escaped
uninjured. But the saw was shat
tered. 1t had struck his cheek. He
was Il commercial traveller.

Cows, when at liberty to select
their own sleeping place out Of doors,
will be observed always to lie down
upon the side of day knoll, if there
is one in the yard or pasture, never
lying with the back down hill, but
always with this toward the higher
ground. This affords more than one
lesson pointing toward thrift, and
bear in mind that there can be no
full measure of thrift without com
fort. These lessons are, (D no farm
animal will select resting or sleep
ing place that is not entirely dry ,un
less forced into wet one; ~ that
the comfort of the COW, while con
fined in her stall, can be added to by
giving her an abundance of bedding
and this may afford an ample cush-
ion in whichever direction she turns
her head.

What Good Cows VIII DO.

A good cow will make 200 pounds
of butter in season, and skim-milk,
fed to thirty pigs, will grow 200
pounds of live weight. A good steer
fed in the ordinary way will dress
800 to 1000 pounds at four years,
having grown on the average $50
pounds of meat each year, whereas
the cow has made 200 pounds of but
ter, and the refuse Of her milk has
produced nearly as much meat in the
calf as the average growth of a steer
for one year.
