A Roland for An Oliver.

The fair sex are occasionally placed
in embarrassing situations, caused by
their unthinking comments. An En-
glishman travelling by train in the
principally of Wales found himself in
a compartment in which two Welsh
young women and himself were the
sole occupants. Never imagining for
moment that the English stranger
understood Welsh almost as we'll as a
native, they amused themselves by free
~ commenting on the personal appear
ance and probable calling of their fell
low traveller.
''Not bad looking if it wasn't for his
nose.' said one.
II think his mouth is the WORST
remarked the other, with equal polite
ness.
"Rather loud suit of clothes,'' was
the next comment.
"Well, he's only cattle-d1aler, lex
pect,' returned critic number two.
The subject of these remarks good
temperedly preserved his self posses
sion by the help of newspaper, and
when he had undergone a further
scathing fire of criticism, laid down his
paper and calmly observed in excellent
Welsh
''Since your liberal and witty criti-
cism of myself and my affairs now
seems somewhat exhausted. may in
quire where you young ladies came
from, and *hat may be your names?'
To use the narrator's own words, he
never knew till then what blushing
scarlet meant, as he watched with
amusement the dreadful confusion of
his fair detractOrs.

In q Greek Factory.

From the churches our host took us
to inspect an olive oil factory, of which
there are several in Pyrghi, so that the
stream which waters the village is
brown with olive juice, like waters
tinged by peat in an Irish bog. Here
they use no machinery or modern ap-
planes in pressing the oil merely the
old primitive wooden press. Women
or sometimes mules, walk round and
round, revolving wheel which
brushes the olives; in this condition
they put them into sacks an d then in
to that "black-faced heifer which de-
yours oak-wood,' as the Chiotcs, in
their tgurative way, are want to
describe their ovens. The sacks are
then placed one over the other in the
press, and two men turn post which
pulls a rope. which drags a stick,
which tightens the press, and the oil
oozes into the receptacle prepared for
it, with water inside. The oil and
water, of course, do not amalgamate,
the dregs sink to the bottom, and the
pure oil flows into jars prepared for
it. 1t is impossible to realize the af-
lection the people have for olives in a
purely olive growing country. IAN
olive with kernal gives boot to a
man." is true adage with them. 1t
is the principle fattening and sustain
ing food in country where hardly any
meat is eaten. 1t takes the place OF
the potato in Ireland, and on the olive
crop depends the welfare of many.
An olive yard is presented to the
church by way of glebe, and the
peasants collect on stated day to
gather these sacred olives, which they
buy from the church, and always at the
highest market value.

A Strange Murder.

A paper called Mature" published
in Paris, has picked up story almost
eclipsing that of tk:<< cock and bull, for
which it cites as an authority the d.
rector of glass factory, in the district
of Aniche. This gentleman had dog,
and this dog was turned out to play
with other dogs in the open field behind
the factory. 1t was the time of hard
weather, shortly after q snowstorm,
and the dog, who was rough-haired
terrier, had not finished his gambol
when he was attacked by whole flock
of birds, described by the French paper
as crows. BY this, probably. rocks are
meant, for the crow, as Yarre]l informs
US, is solitary bird found only alone
or in pairs, whereas the glass manufac-
turer writes that that there were one
hundred of the black birds in the field
where the dog was, out of which only
about thirty joined in the onslaught.
However, the battle, once begun,
proved very one-sided affair, half the
attacking squadron keeping in front of
the wretched quadruped, and the other
half behind him or On the bank. The
former. lowering at height of about
six feet made dashes from time to time
at the head of the victim, aiming their
beaks at his eyes and at particular
spot on his neck, where they soon es-
tab]ished an open wound.
The unfortunate animal, who in vain
attempted to fee, would actually have
been picked to pieces on the spot had
he not been carried off by boy who
came to the rescue, and brought him
home in his arms, while the detach-
ment of prosecutors lowered with
angry movements overhead. The
dogs life was saved for the time, but
the narrator adds that day or two
afterward his wounds became so dan
gerous that he was obliged to have the
poor wretch killed. After this we
may expect soon to hear of fox as
saulted and done to death by con-
fraternity of geese.

A Finland Bath House.

Near every farm or settlement no.

darkened by smoke, and on asking
what it was, always received for an
answer that it was the savna. The
savna is, in fact, the common bath
room of the farm, and sometimes the
neighborhood. Every Saturday the
savna is used by the whole family, the
servants OF the farm, and any guest
that may be DESTROYS of participating.
A huge log fire is built on a hearth in
the room, and when the bricks or
stones are red hot, cold water is poured
on them, which soon fills the room with
steam. When ali is ready. the bathers

The proceedings are naturally carried
on under great deal of fun from the

AT THE ST. PAUL CARNIVAL,

The GROWING day of the great win
ter carnival in St. Paul was on Friday
the 18th which was designated as Grand
Army day. The Grand Army Of the
Republic was out in force and the
sight seers joined until there were thir-
ty thousand visitors in the city. The
day overhead was perfectly superb.
There was a clear sky and the bright,
genial winter sun shone making it
perfectly comfortable to spend
hours out of doors. Saltwater, Mime
apolis, Anoka. Shakopee, Brainerd,
New Ulm, Faribault, Pennington,
Mortified and many other places sent
strong delegations from their posts
and there were scattering representa-
tives from the G. A. r. posts all over
the State. The forenoon was spent in
social reunion at Carnival Hall, and in
the afternoon the great procession of
the Carnival took place. The e..
A. r. held the post of honor at the
head of the procession, followed
by the various Snowshoe and
Toboggan clubs in the City.
Duluth and saltwater both supplied
uniformed Toboggan clubs which at
tracted much attention. There were
5000 or more in the procession, and it
took three quarters of an hour to pass
a given point. No such winter parade
was everseen any where in this country.
In the evening the second storming
of the Ice Palace took place, the G. A.
r. leading the attack and the snowshoe
and Toboggan clubs, defending in

began to disperse. and the city became
comparatively quiet. Tho military were
kept under arms, but we're not called on to
act. A number Of collisions occurred b.
tween different factories of the rioters, and
between tho bodies of the rioters and the
police, but no loss of life is known to have
occurred, and probably 200 shops and a
dozen club houses were seriously dana 9ed

behalf of the Ice King. The
display of fireworks by the attacking
and defending forces was simply in
describable. Bombs, rockets and Ro-
man candles were intermingled by the
thousand until the palace itself was
obscured from sight by the pyrotechnic
display. The defenders from the bat
Elements and towers of the palace
fired bombs of brilliant splendor, but it
was of no avail to Withstand the At
tack of the veterans and after half an
hour of incessant explosion Of
brilliant fireworks, the defenders of
the Ice King surrendered and the blue
flag of Borealis with white bear in the
centerwas lowered and the stars and
stripes were raised over the highest
turret and the cheers of both the attack
ing and defending parties. There
were fifty thousand spectators of the
grand entertainment, the palace
grounds not only being thronged but
all the streets and buildings within q
quarter of mile If the grounds being
literally packed with people.
Following the surrender the Grand
Army formed in line and marched to
Carnival Hall on Fourth street near
Wabasha, where camp fire was
lighted and speeches and social re-
union followed for several hours. It
would be very difficult to repeat tho
day and scenes on the scale here de-
scribed.

The Question.

A teacher in a western county in
Canada, while making his first visit to
his ''constituents, came into CONVEX
sation with an eminent Vermont lady,
who had taken up her residence in the
''backwoods. Of course the school
and former teacher came in for criti-
cism, and the old lady. in speaking of
his predecessor, asked
"Wa'al, master, what do you think
he learned the scholars?''
II couldn't say ma'am. Pray what
did he teach?"
"Wa'al. he told 'em this ere arth
was round; what do you think of such
stuff?''
Unwilling to come under the cate
CORY of the ignorant, the teacher eva
sively remarked

are many learned men who teach these
things.''
"Wa'al," says she. If the earth is
round, and goes round. what holds it
up?'

goes round the sun, and the sun holds
it up by virtue of attraction

Important Land Ruling.

Land Commissioner Sparks, in decision
in the case of James Vaughan, settler on
the line Of the Northern Pacific railroad in
Montana, made tho 18th, holds that the
lands were not reserved bv law for the
railroad grant upon the fling by the COM
pany Of maps Of the general route, but
only after the definite location OF the
actual line Of the road. It has been 4
former ruling Of the interior department.
that statutory reservation was created
when map Of general route was filed,
although actual location Of the road might
afterwards be made on quite q different
line. The effect of the commissioners
decision, If sustained, will be to protect
the settlers along the whole line of the
road who settled after the maps Of the
general route were filed and before definite
location OF the road, being periods ranging
entry all lands on the line Between
Wallula, w. T., and Portland, Or, a dis

more than 5000, 900 acres. These lands are

NELLIE GAHAN was for many years
the companion of Mrs. John A. Roe
bling of New York, who was a fussy
invalid, but rich, and promised Nellie
that she would do the handsome thing
for her in her will, but finally forgot to
do it. So Nellie brought suit for $780,
600, as being the just compensation she
should have for her years of devotion.
A cruel jury divided Nellie's claim BY
ten, and gave her only $5, 600, and now
she regards that jury as being quite as
hard hearted as the miserly old lady

protection under the impression that
they arc insured against robbery or
damage by responsible concern, find
out how valuable their investment is
upon application for redress after rob-
berry or injury. These pesons, and the
officers of these institutions then dis
claim any responsibility, compare
themselves to the city police in ineffici-
ency and neglect, and sum up their
duties after this fashion; We only
agree that patrolman shall pass your
house once an hour, and in no way
agree to be responsible for any damage
that may occur. Indeed, the exper-
fence of some persons whom we have
known leads to the belief that often
times the patrol Waterman is the thief
who would rob your house if he was
not employed to ''pass it, now and
then during the night. Until these
companies and private patrols become
responsible and trustworthy they are
better out of the way, for they tend to
impair the vigilance of the regular
police force and add no security of
their own.

Tho Charm of New Ze2land.

New Zealand has the very extraor-
binary property of causing all who
have once set foot on her shores to pass
beneath the indescribable spell Of her
witchery. / never met anyone who,
having tasted life in his new island
home, would consent to change his
abode. Switzerland has loftier peaks
and fairer towns; Tyrol may boast pref
tier outlines; Scotland has her classic
heather and her brown hillsides; Nor
way, historic memories that linger in
her winding tiords; but having gazed
at and fancied myself in love with each
of these sirens in turn, am ever drawn
back to my ideal beauty, New Zealand
Nature does not often play the prod
igal; to New Zealand she has given all
her charms, and keeps them fresh and
imperiously beautiful as Cleopatra's.
In no other country has she set down
towering mountains beside profound
6ords, and backed the scene by dense
AoASSCo oAOPAA& W." OA VIC OIucI Sluc
OF the range into fertile pastures. In
no other spot does she find so dcft a
firing woman as in the climate of New
Zealand, who loves to exhibit her mis-
tress in an atmosphere of blue relieved
by carpet OF browniSh green.
l am quite aware that this colloca-
ton of colors ought to sound hideous
and repulsive in the last degree, but [
am certain that those who, like the
author of ''Erewhon,' have lived in
New Zealand till they have learned to
catch the spirit Of her scenery, will
bear me out that the effect is passing
beautiful. Then, was there ever land
OF streams SO crystal pure. which chal-
lenge you to count every pebble that
lies beneath their arrowy current?
And is there not an nnspcakable charm
in finding ones self among sea of
snow or of clcud-ea1ped peaks, many
unnamed. and most untrodden by man.
