Deer Hounds becoming Popular.
fphiladAlnhi Pra,a

Deer hounds, although still very rare
in this country, are coming into popu-
larity among sportsmen. Gen. Custer
was the first to import them to this
country. They do not follow by scent,
but by sight. and are, consequently, of
little use in a wooded country, but are
admirably adapted 10 the western PLAINS

Hobby-Horse on . Tricycle.

A new hobby-ho has been devised
for boys. 1t consists of the model o. a
horse mounted on a tricycle.. 1t is
driven by means of the forward wheel,
as in the case of an ordinary tricycle.,
the steering handle appearing above the
horses neck about which tho bridlo
should be held. Motion is given to the
horses legs by cranks connected with
the wheels.

An experiment Of interest is now be-
ing made by the maritime province of
Canada in the introduction of live lob
sters to the English market. The
steamer Clifton, from Miramichi to
England, recently took out a tank con-
tanning 500 live Holsters, and if they
reach England in good condition large
business is expected.

Use OF Electricity In Bleaching.

Cotton manufacturers in st. Peters
burg are much interested at present in
the successful application of electricity
for the purpose of bleaching cotton and
fax filters, as we'll as tissues. The ma
terial is stepped in water, which is then
decomposed by electricity, the oxygen
which is thus set free at once acting on
the fi'ers. This process has been found
to occupy very considerably less time
than the ordinary one

To Preserve Frui. in Good Condition.

Fruit has been kept in perfect con-
dition by simply covering the jars with
cotton batting. Putrefaction is caused
by the invisible creatures in the air.
Cooking the fruit expels these. and, as
they can not pass through cotton bat
ting, the fruit thus protected will keep
an indefinite period. Tyndall has
proved that atmospheric germs can not
pass through q layer of cotton.

The state high school board will meet i'm
the Office of public instruction at the capitol
this morning for the purpose of distributing
the apportionment.
Papers were received at the state audi
tors office yesterday acknowledging the re-
ceipt at the state prison of John Lynch
and John Curfman. each to serve one year
for larceny.
Gov, Hubbard was at Owatonna yester-
day with Secretary Hart, looking over the
two sites offered by that city for the state
public school with a view to making a
selection for the school.
Mr.. NJ. Hale of Huron, Oak. during a
call upon Secretary Young, said that the
wheat crop within an area of fifty miles
was nearly all harvested. and that the crop
in the Jim river valley was fine both as TO
quality and quantity.

BUILDING PERMITS.
AN ORIENTAL BELLE.
San Francisco Receives Another Ad
ditiOn 10 Its Chinese Formulation.

San Francisco Receives Another Adj
dition 10 Its Chinese Population.
From the San Francisco Call.
The mob of Chinese bOndSmen and high
binders that infeStS the corridors round the
federal courts was much agitated yesterday
by the appearance of a genuine belle from
the FlOwery Empire. The great majority
OF Chinese women who come to America
are plebeianS with feet remarkable for their
absence of instep and their immense cubic
area These refugees from the rice fields
OF Asia are generally dressed in plain
black tunics and depend solely on
the decoration of their hair to make
them attractive. The belle who sought the
federal courts yesterday in hopes of being
permitted 10 remain OH American soil was
dressed according to the most recent Chi
nese fashion plates. Her hair was rolled
and plaStered into indeScribable folds and
plaits, her tunic was cerulean, with bright
vermilion trimmings, and her lower gar
ment dark blue, with embroidered figures,
and so ample that it looked more like pet
ticoat than the typical trousers of the fe-
male cOOlie, the dress being so low that
nothing was visible but the shoes, with
thick felt soles, and the points of two heels
as high and pointed as any worn by French
bellies of the past century.
The queerly attired woman was many
shades lighter in complexion than the
Chinese females that are seen every
day on the streets. The comelineSS
of her face was set off to better adj
vantage by contrast with the two dark
skinned female attendants on whom she
leaned, the unnatural smallness of her feet
making it an impOSsibility for her to walk
unaided. She was far above the height of
the average Chinese woman, and would
have been reckOned tall among Americans.
Her face indicated superior intelligence. and
the manner in which the groups of male
Chinese lOungers dropped their habitual
stolidity and gaped after her showed
that she was a woman of mark in the
Chinese community. She gave the maine
of LO An Quain and furnished bonds in the
sum of $1,000 TO appear in the United
States circuit court TO prove her right to
become citizen of San Francisco. She is
said to be the relative of prominent
Chinese merchant and was accompanied by
several Of her comtrymen.

Lots of II and AWfuIly Hot In ST.
Paul Yesterday.


Sergt. Lyon of the signal Office said last
evening that the indications were that the
worst of the heated term was over, and
that to-day would probably be cooler. Yes
terday was not only the hottest day of the
season. but the thermometer reached de-
gree higher than any day since July 2, 1888.
The highest figure reached yesterday was
94.7 ,. tie mercury standing at that hgure
for short time in the afternoon. The
average for the day, however, was not as
great as on Monday last-when 1t was
1872 o-by 1.2o.
The storm that passed over st. Paul yes
terGay afternoon was the most Threatening
in its aspect while gathering that has VS.
tied St Paul for some time. 1t could De
seen lying far down the eastern horizon at
baIf-past three o'clock, though there were
no signs of immediate rain until nearly D
o'clock. BY that time the clouds, dark and
heavy, extended nearly around the hori-
ION. and in appearance were low-lying and
angry. When the sky was covered with the
exception of patch directly overhead, the
indications were of a more severe storm
than actually came. 1t began to rain at
about half-past 5. a few scattering
hail stones coming at the start.
Gradually the hail increased, coming in
larger stones. and thicker, until i'll fifteen
minutes from the first fall it was pelting
down at a rate that Threatened windows
and everything else not built of solid ma
teria with general pulverization. For
tunately the wind was not high. The hail
lasted as long as the shower, and both had
gone and the blue sky was overhead before
sixo'clock. Some lightning, though far away
for the most part, accompanied the rain.
Sergt Lyons said the hailStOm did not
extend more than thirty miles or so proba-
bly,. and the storm would be claSSed as a
local one Some of the hailstOnes were as
large as eggs, one measured at the
police station being an inch and quarter I'm
its largest dimensions. Some found in front
of the Hotel Astoria had bits Of stone, ap-
parently Of quartz. within the ice coating.
This is vouched for by several responsible
persons, who saw them. There
was little damage reported in the city from
the hail. At e. f. Lemke's greenhouse on
West Seventh street considerable glass was
broken, and scattering panes at other places,
though there was nothing like general
smashing.
The hailstones were of all shapes, and
wore, for the most part composed of a
solid, clear nucleus of ice, with an outside
layer resembling snow ice, as if the mois-
tuTe had but half CONCEALED as the smaller
nucleus was driven through it.
Lightning entered the window of Chem
ical Engine House No. 2, on Dayton's
bluff, and, after passing through the en-
CINE, struck two horses. throwing them
down, but not injuring them seriously.

Trouble I'm Dakota.

Henry Yearns, granger from Schruiter
county, Missouri, was at the union depot
yesterday awaiting the arrival of train to
take him to Michigan City, Oak. He stated
that last spring he bought farm out there
and had a portion of it titled and put to
crop. He put boy 10 years of age on
the farm to look after il, and left yoke of
oxen at his disposal, besides number of
agricultural implements. The crops were
looking splendidly and gave promise of 4
large yield, when there came a light storm.
Nelghbors made the young man believe
that the storm had a bad effect upon the
crop, and that hail was liable to come and
destroy the crop completely. They then
made him an offer of $3.50 10 dispose of the
farm, oxen and farm equipments to them.
and the young man accepted. One of the
neighbors then took the boy into partner
ship and forgot to give him any OF the $3.50,
swindling him out of everything. The
Missouri man is now on his way to Michi-
gan City to compromise with his neighbOrs
and have them make things right, as the
boy was not of age, and. unless they do,
legal proceedings will be begun.

THE GRANT MEMORIAL.
Preparations For the Ceremonies
A General Order.

The headquarters for the Grant memorial
to occur next week, Saturday, are in Capt.
j. j. McCardy's office, No. 81, Gilfllan
block, and civic and other societies intend
ing to participate in the demonstration
shonld send notifications there at once. A
number have already done SO, and the DEM
onStratiOn promises to be an imposing one.
The Minnesota COmmandery of the Royal
Legion, of which Gen. Sanbom is COM
mander, will undoubtedly participate in a
body, and is now only waiting for instruc-
tiOns from New York, TO take the proper
steps. The following general orders of this
department, Grand Army of the Republic,
have been promulgated:
HEADQUARTERS
DEPARTMENT OF MINNESOTA,
GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.
MINNEAPOLIS, July %, 1885.
GENERAL ORDERS No. Z.
First-A nation mOums the death of one
of the greatest military chieftans the world
ever knew. Our order has suffered the loss
of its most illuStrious member. Comrade
Ulysses S. Grant died at Mt. McGregor.
New York, July %, 1885. The whole
world sympathZeS with us in our great
bereavement, and though his death was not
unexpected, its mere announcement carries
to the heart of every soldier who woTthily
wore the blue, an influence and power far
beyond any words of mine. The love and
confidence between him and you inspired
both with zeal that Overcame all obsta-
cles. His grand achievements as a soldier
and leader won the undying love of the
people of this country, and the homage of
all nations. He was our commander and
we loved him.
He died as a cOmrade of our order.
thoroughly devoted to its principles and its
purposes, and it is fitting that we give as
an organization proper expression TO the
grief that reignS in all hearts.
Second-Out of the love we all
have for our departed comrade,
all the posts of this department
are requested to take appropriate ac-
ton by the adoption of suitable resolutions
to be entered upon the records, and that all
post rooms with colOrS and charters be
draped in mourning for sixty days, and that
all comrades wear Grape over their badges
for the same period. BY command of
r. 4. BECKER, Department Commander
II. A. NORTON, Asst Adjt Gen.
