The Otter Tail County Alliance held
a meeting on the 9th, and adopted the
following:
Resolved, That certain resolution of
the Farmers State Alliance of Minnesota
to wit: ''Tbat we set forth the declaration
of principles not as supplicants at the feet
of power, but as freemen demanding their
rights. We ask Justice, not charity. 1t Is
a1dlng insult to injury for any man to
plunder community Of millions of dollars
annually, and then seek to balance the
account with a few beggarly pigs and
horuless bulls" is undignided, uncalled for
and beneath the spirit of any Intelligent
body of representative farmers OF this
state; that, while we are subjected to
burdens and unjust determinations, and
have wrongs that should and must be
righted, yet we are of the opinion that no
good can be accomplished by pandering
to tho prejudices OF others, or by making
our resolutions vehicle to convey the
political spleen of a disappointed politician
and demagogue, and we further add that
it is the sense Of this alliance that J. J.
Hill, in distributing superior grades of
stock throughout this state at his own ex-
pense, performed the greatest act of
benevoleuce and Kindness ever done the
farmers of this locality, for which
generosity we heartily thank him.

How to Drink Water.

The leading medical journal of France
has published pamphlet protesting
against the extravaganza use of artificial
mineral waters, which, it sets forth, do
the double damage of chilling the stom-
ach, thus laying the foundation for gas
trio catarrh, while the limestone held in
deposit in the carbonated waters finds
its way to the kidneys and eventually
produces Bright's disease. The pamph-
let also protests against ice water as a
provocative of catarrh in the stomach.
1t further says: "Water should be
drank cool, but not iced, with the juice
OF quarter or half lemon in it.
Mineral water should also be drank
with dash of lemon. Water should
always be swallowed slowly. 1t is not
the stomach which is dry, but the mouth
and throat. If you toss off a drink of
water you throw it through your mouth
into your stomach, without doing the
former any good, while you injure the
latter by loading it with what it does
not require. Drink slowly, and keep
the water in your mouth for moment
when you begin. Ii you work in a hot
room in hot weather tie damp cloth
around your temples, and you will not
experience half the craving for drink
you otherwise would. IN. Y. Times.

TOBACCO IN FRANCE,
quantities Of the Weed Consumed In yari.
Gus European Countries,

quantities Of the Weed Consumed in yari-
Gus European Countries.
Some interesting particulars are pub
iished by M Paul Leroy-Beaulieu with
regard to the manufacture and con-
sumption of tobacco in France. He
quotes official figures, which show that
while the quantity of tobacco grown in
france itself was about $4,000 tons in
1901, it has been gradually increasing
until 1t is now nearly double that guam
tity, while the revenue which the state
derives from it has increased from e.
100000 to nearly 100000 In other
words, while the quantity of tobacco
grown has only doubled, the profits of
the state, or in other words, of the
manufacturers, have nearly quadrupled.
The great increase in profit is explained
by M. Paul Leroy-Beaulieu upon the
ground that the expense of manufactur-
ing an additional quantity of tobacco
is not any thing like that of the first
establishment OF plant and material.
The cultivation and manufacture of to-
bacco has been Government monopoly
since 1874, and, with the exception of a
brief interval during the revolution, has
remained so ever since. In this connec-
ton M. Paul Leroy-Beaulieu gives the
following figures showing the quantity
OF tobacco consumed in the different
countries of Europe, and the rate per
100 inhabitants is, according to him, as
follows: Spain ITO pounds, Italy 1923
pounds, Great Britain, 1873 pounds,
Russia 1872 pounds, Hungary 207 pounds,
France 2l0 pounds, Denmark 224
pounds, Norway 229 pounds, Austria
27S pounds, Germany 1856 pounds, Hol-
land 448 pounds and Belgium $50
pounds. In other words, while in
Spain little more than one pound per
head is consumed, nearly double that
quantity is consumed in France, three
times as much in Germany, four times
as much in Holland and five times as
much in Belgium.-Econonsist Fran

RAPHAEL IN LEGEND.
A Pretty Story of the Way the Great Mas
ter Got a High Inspiration.

ter Got High Inspiration.
There is pretty legend connected
with the composition of the Sistine
Madonna. Raphael, so the story goes,
was one time painting an altar piece,
which was, for the nonce, yelled from
the curious gaze by green curtains
while the paint was in process of dry
ing. The artist, weary with his work,
had fallen asleep before the closed
hangings, but though his body SUM
bered his wondrous mind still wand( red
through the realms of fancy, and as he
lay in sleep he saw the curtains open
and standing between them, surrounded
by myriads of cherubim, a glorious vision
of the Madonna and Child. For mo-
ment only the apparition lasted, then the
painter awOke to find the curtains closed
before the altar piece. Next day he re-
ceived an order TO paint Madonna and
Child for the Sistine Chapel, introducing
Pope st. Sixtus. Raphael, still haunted by
the remembrance of his dream, resolved
to paint what he had seen. He sketch
ed the Madonna surrounded by angel
heads, with the green curtains drawn
back on both sides. st. Sixtus knelt
down in alteration, his tiara resting on
the altar ledge. St. Barbara occupied
the other side of the painting. The
picture was complete, the vision was
there and the requirement of the order
fulfilled
Still something was wanting. The
bare ledge troubled the artistic eye, till
one day going to his studio he saw two
boys leaning on the side looking intently
at his work. He seized the happy mo-
ment and fixed them on his canvas as
the adoring cherubim. -Munich Cor.
