take lessons note the two large chattel

G, A. R: ENCAMPMENT.

During the tour days of June, 18th
to the 18th inclusive, there promises
to be the grandest, most glorious
event in the history of Morris. The
member of Oyerton Post are exert
ing themselves to the utmost and
with the liberal and due assistance
and encouragement that citizens gen.
orally are prepared to give, there will
be, during the time mentioned, such
notable gathering of the old heroes
of the late war as will be worthy of
record in the future history of our
great state of Minnesota. AS yet the
details cannot be given as they have
not been completed, but arrangements
are being pushed as rapidly as posi-
BILE and in due time all will be in
readiness for the proper reception
and entertainment of the immense
throng of people who will be in Nor
ris during those days.
Among the noted personrges who
will honor the encampment by their
presence and interest and delight by
their oratory are. Gov. McGill, Com
mander-lI-Chief, John P. Rea, Sena.
tor Davis, Hon. Knuto Nelson, Hon.
A. Barto, Hon. NJ. E. Clapp, Albert
| Scheffer and host of others.
A daily assemblage of $4,000 or
more people is expected.
Last Friday afternoon Johnnie, the
six year old son of Mrs. O'Mally, was
| quite seriously hurt while playing
with other children near the turn
table on the Manitoba road. They
were all amusing themselves rolling
on the track the trucks of box cal
that was destroyed in the fire last
winter. By some accident the little
fellow was caught between the axle
of these moving wheels and the
large lever of the turn table. His
playmates were powerless to remove
the wheels and he was held in this
terrible position for several min
utes by a weight of eight hundred
pounds against his stomach before
help arrived. And it required the
combined efforts of four men to ex
tricate the little sufferer. When res
cued life was thought to be extinct
but he soon recovered consciousness!
and has improved since. It was al
first feared that his injuries would
prove fatal, but. although he is no
yet entirely out of danger the chance.
are favorable for his recovery.

The Chinese Almanac,

Recently thu Chinese residents at Lhassa, in Thibet, implored tdo cmpe- TOT to cause arrangements to be made which would enable them to receive the copies of their almanac at tho earliest possible d .te in each year. This an xie- tyswQuld seem very curious, were it not tha as wa are informed by writer in thtUhinese R cordor, that the d. manac is the most important book to tho Chinese. Its space is far too impor- tant to be occupied with the matter which fills western almanacs. It con. tains astron omical information which is usaful, hut its great mission is to give full and accurate information for select ing lucky places for performing all the acts, great and small, of their everyday life. And as every act of life in China, however trivial, depends for its success on the time in which and the direction G. e., tn, point of tho compass toward which it is done) i, of the utmost im- portance to the Chinese that every one should have correct information avail- able at all times to so order his life as to avoid bad luck and calamity and secure good luck and prosperity. Consequent ly, the almanac is, perhaps, the most universally cireu ated book in China.

@ American Versatility.

h America a man finds he can turn his hand to anything. He discovers his ability when he finds ho has to do it. In Europe ho generally has one trado and he cannot easily get into any other. America is tho most versatile nation on tho face of the globe, barring the dudes. Iu Europe when workman invents some new appliance his employer gives him five shillings 8 week more and grabs the invention. In America whon man shows his employer some new dodgo by which he can mako money, the en- ployer takes him into partnership and he always invents more things. But it is curious how versatile Americans are. You will find man in the stock busi- ness who has been dan ciug master; !; you'll fud many lawyers who have been doctors and doctors who have been law yers; you'll find people who have grad uated from the bar to tho pulpit-ycs, perhaps from both bars; you will find a man who cut your corns few years ago contracting to build railroads. You will not often meet such versatility in Europe. When man has once fairly started as doctor there he has got to keep on if he starves at the business. If he has been trained for the church he will have to die curate, if it be his luck never to get any further up. If a man becomes clerk he clerks it all his life, and he dareu't step out because every avenue is overcrowded. So he hasn't chance to develop any versatil- ity and one can see how tho curious caste system arose in China where fam flies follow the trads of their fathers till the end of tlme. - -[Graphic.

Giving Away Japanese Children.


 But the queerest custom in Japan, says the Omaha Bee, and one that is not generally known is tho interchange of boys. MT. Kawakura has boy and to show his appreciation of his friend' kindness gives him this child. Tho boy is formally adopted in his new family and asumes all the right and titlo belonging to it. He becomes to- tally alienated from his real parents and is disowned by them. Now, MT. Iwaya, who has two sons, hears of Kawakuras generosity and, not to be outdone, sends him one of hls boys.
 Kawakura accepts this present with thanks and young Iwaya bears tha. name no longer but enters at once as the heir to Kawakura's name and prop erty. This strange proceeding is carried on among all classes. The abog4 named instance in which the names are not changed came under the writer's ob,er- vation. But another high official, MT. Matsu Moo, once said that he did not think that his youngest son, a child of eight years, was of much account, hence he had given him to jinrikiska coolie.

Medicinal Uses of the Lemon.

"Lemons arc very healthy and good, not only for allaying the thirst but will cure a multitude of disorders. Tho juice of the lemon contains citric acid. Acidxss rule decrease the acil se- crctionrG the bodys and increase the alkaline. Citric acid, which is the acid of lemons and oranges for instance, will diminish the secretions of gastric juice but incr reases very materially the secre- tion of saliva. The very thought of a lemon is sufficient to make ths mouth water. Thirst in fevers is not always due to lack of water in tho blood. It may be duo in part to lack of the se- cretion of the saliva. When the mouth is parched and dry the acid will in- crease the saliva. Wh,n acid is given for the relief of dyspepsia it should be taken before eating. Lemon juice drank before meals will bo found very advantageous as preventive to hoart- urn."-[Chicago Times.

The Quiet Man in tho Butternut Suit

It does not require great battles or events of national importance to bring out the natural traits of some people, observes tho Kansas City Star. The other morning small but strongly built bulldog dashed into the midlle of Delaware street near Sixth. Foam dropped from his jws and his blood shot eyes rolled wildly as he y,lped and parked fiercely. Ho was mad as a March hare. The dog dashed blindly forward and seized one Of the spokcs of a rapidly moving buggy wheel with his teeth, and was whirled through tho air and against the ground with force enough to stun a horse, but it only served to make him dart about more madly and howl and growl moro fiercely.
 Pedestrians stopped and looked at the dog a minute and. thon fled for safe- ty. Women shriekcd and made the best possible time for adjoining stores. One old lady, with surprising agility, climbed into a buggy standing noar. Big, powerful mon, with fists like sledge hammers, followed the women, and soon there was hardly soul left in sight but quiet-looking man wearing butternut suit and calmly twisting Q straw colored moustache.
 The dog made at him with fierce growl and the foam dripping from his wide open jaws. Tho littlo man cooly spat on the ground and looked around for weapon. Thero was nothing handy but box partly full of peaches belonging to an Italian fruit pedler who had fled long since.
 Tho dog reached the eurbstone and gathered himself up like tiger for a spring. He lcapod at the throat of tho little man, but, with indescribable quickness, the peach box male a semi- circle in the air, and when the shower of fruit subsided the little man could be seen, calmly beating the animals brains out with one end of the empty box.
 A big man stepped out of doorway and said: "Bully for you," and the old lady in the buggy climbed down, criti- cally looked at the dead dog, and when she noticed the fine silver and steel col lar, remarked: "Somo body's pet, sup pose" .......
 Then hugo crowd gathered about the carcass, and discussed the proper method of killing mad dog, while the little man with tho straw colored mous- tache bit off huge chunk of tobacco and sauntered slowly away.

Hunting With Dogs.

All hounds, save the greyhound, run entirely by scent. When they como upon the faint scent of track they will work along it until it grows fresher, and then begin to bay or '.givo tongue" There is always a cores pondcnce be- tween the baying and the trail. An ex- perienced hunter can tell by the baying not only where the dog is, but, ly tho frequency and confidence of tho sound, how fresh tho trail is- that is, how closo upon his gan4S tho dog is. All hunted animals have a way of doubling, or running in circles. Honco, if hunter observes by the baying that his dog is going away from him, he waits patient ly, sometimes for minutes, sometimes for hours, until the circlo is made and he hears the dog approaching. Then he is on the alert for shot for the game is probably not many rods in advance of the dog.
 A hound is seldom lost. His nose is his compass. Whenever ho pleascs, he can take up his masters track and find him, or he can retrace his own stops homeward.
 Dogs do not seem to enjoy those odors that please u,. A dog will turn away disappointed and indifferent from the finest of perfumes. Except the scent of those things which he would liko to eat I have never found anything that seemed to delight dogs sense of smell --[st. Nicho es.

Singular Coincidence.

The day tho disastrous confagration occurred, E. J. S.vier, one of the lead- ing insurance agents in tho city, received a letter from one of his companies in, which they suggested that hc was carry ing perhaps too much insurance in the Griffi ,- Caldwell block. That night he answered the letter, and wrote that he considered it one>f the safest risks in the city; that the baX ding was so con structed thatscvan if d. fire started in any one section it could not spread. He sealed the letter, and, just as he handed it to his brother to mail, tn, fire alarm sounded. He ran out and saw the block in fumes at tho very point he had just written about.-[Chattanooga (1'enn.) ) Times.
