A curious experiment has recently
been tiled with wreaths and vetive offer
ings taken from the tomb of an Egyptian
king. where they had been drying for
300 years. Under judicious manipula-
tion in hot water the dry cells swelled
into their original plumpness, and tie
leaves. attached to cardboard and treat

Sir Joseph Hooker at Kew. and exhibited
AT late soiree of the Royal Society.
Not oHly we're the forms of the leaves
So far restored that they could he botan-
ically identified, but the intricate vena
ton of the flower petals could be plainly
traced. the coloring of lilies, larkspurs
and other flowers were displayed. and
even the distinctive orders of some spe-
cilnens were preserved. In general these
old 10 e,ves and grasses were the same az
similar species today.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

AS usual with the first day Of the legisla
tive session, the proceedings were dull and
uninteresting, except to the members
themselves. The only feature of interest
in connection with first days session is
the selection of subordinate officers, and
when the Republican majority is SO pre-
ponderating, as it is in Minnesota,
that, after the dictum Of the caucus,
loses all interest, the election being
mere formality. So it proved yesterday,
except in the case of the caucus nominee
for postmaster, Mr.. E. P. Wade, most in
telligent and worthy represent
ative of the colored race, who it was at
tempted to beat by springing an outside
candidate upon the house. The attempt
failed ANONYMOUSLY, only five votes being
recorded against Mr.. Wade, but the at
tempt showed the deep-rooted antipathy
felt by the great majority of Republicans
to rewarding the class,which has constitut-
ed their stock in trade and enable them to
hold power in the nation for twenty years.
Full details of proceedings are given below.

learn about human nature. Not long ago
he thought to wither an importunate Office
seeker with sarcasm, and said to him:
Good heavens, man! Would you have,
me put on my hat and go over to the,
treasury department and demand some
thing for you?" 'That's just exactly what
do WANT serenity responded the Office
seeker.
gentlema who had taken the right of
shooting over moor in Ayrshire at
high rent, bagged only two brace the first
day. After counting the price he grum-
blingly remarked to the tenant of the moor
that the birds mad cost him two guineas
the brace. The tenant very innocently re-
piled, "A weel, sir, we may be thankful ye.
had gotten sac few O. them; they're far too.
DEAR
An old topper was locked in police cell
at Dallas, Texas. In the night he yelled
for help, declaring that a monkey was in
the room. A policeman thought he had
the delirium tremens and assured him that
he saw nothing. After that he became.
more frantic and in the morning was found
dead. The monkey was no delusion, how
ever, but had go into the cell after escap-
ing from its owner, an incarcerated organ
grinder.
A most extraordinary and painful phe-
nomenon has lately occurred in Warsaw
A lady died under somewhat peculiar cir
cumstances, which gave rise to a report
that her death had been caused by her
husbands i'll treatment. Hence, several
weeks after the interment her body was
exhumed for post moatem ex-
animation, when it was found that in the
grave perfectly healthy child had been
born.
In Parkersburg, Chester county, Pa,
Mr.. George l.. Houston is building a
dwelling house wholly of iron and resting
on foundations of solid rock Every part
of the house is of iron, including floors,
window stills, sash, etc. The floors are
made to represent thing. The walls are
hollow and the space between them is
used instead of chimneys. Hot smoke
and hot air passing from furnaces between
the walls, it is thought, will be sufficient to
warm the house in the coolest weather.
The story is told i'll Hartford of a dis
charged state prison convict who, as soon
as he reached the city, burst into tears and
was inconsolable because he had left his
pet mouse in his cell. The little beast was
the only friend he had. It came from
hole in the corner every morning and ate
the crumbs from his hand. "He would
playfully run down my arm and play about
my face, let me feed him, and stay by me,
when was eating my supper" he said
"When went into my cell and did not pay
immediate attention to may little pet, he
would chatter and scold at me in such an
earnest way that it made me laugh. He was
my one friend, and I have come away for
getting him." The agen! of the Prison as
ISOLATION restored the mouse to him.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

School Attendance--Changes in the High
echool Course--Insurance on School
Building.
The board of education held regular
meeting last evening; all present.
A communication from County Auditor
McCardy was read to the effect that the IT,
tie of the board to block 3, Bazille & Roberts
addition, West st. Paul, was imperfect. The
matter was referred to the attorney of the
board.
Superintendent Wright reported the
total enrolment of schools for December
5,542-693 greater than the corresponding
month last year. Also that the winter
term opened yesterda ywith..a good attend
ance.
The committee on high schools made a
report recommending certain changes
in the course of study in the
high school, and recommend
ing joint meeting of the committee on
schools, committee on high school, and the
superintendent, to consider the subject
with view to render such course of study
more harmonious with the graded schools
beneath it, and the state university above
it. The report was accepted and the rec
omm endation concurred in.
The action Of the board at its last meet
ing oancelling the insurance on school
buildings was reconsidered, and Inspectors
Gilbert, Benz, Wilgus and Kerr spoke
against total cancellation, and favoring the
retention of a moderate amount upon each
building, while Inspector Donnelly de-
Tended the action as wise policy, especially
in view of the exorbitant charges for in
surance IN st. Paul. Inspector Schifmann
also thought the rates now being paid too
high. Finally, the matter was referred to
Inspectors Benz, Gilbert and Donnelly for
investigation and report.
A resolution was adopted to pay D. W.
Willard, architect of the high school, 500
on account of services rendered.
The matter of running water pipes into
the new high school building was referred
to the committee on property with power
to act.
After an executive session the board ad
journed.

Rumored Indictment of Several of the
County Officers-More Trouble IN

Rumored Indictment of Several of the
County Officers-aIore Trouble IN
Store
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
FARGO, d. T., Jan. 1T is rumored here
this evening that the grand jury have
three indictments against County Commits
sioner Brooks personally and five against
the county board, for tie manner they dis
bursed $4,000 of the county funds in the
building of the new Jail and court house.
The County Treasurer, P. b. Nokken, it is
alleged, has eleven indictments against
him also, and rumor has it with few here
tonight that some of these high officials
will be arrested tomorrow. The commits
sioners paid out this $4,000 without any
county Warrants, and in an irreg-
ular way. The grand jury is
still in session, and others are liable to be
implicated. Nokken has been county
treasurer long time, and as he paid out
this money on simply vouchers by Brooks,
without any law for the same and before
the bills we're duly allowed by the full
county board, and in accordance with law,
he has, it is thought, got himself into
trouble innocently.
