AT A CAMP FIRE.
Heroic Deeds of Minnesota Vol
unteers Recounted.

The camp fire given by Aeker Post,
G. A. r., in their hall, corner of Third
and Exchange streets, last night, was
an enjoyable affair. 1t was attended by
more than the usual number of persons,
there being about 800 present. The
entertainment opened with a song by
the Gleenclub, who also sang Amer
lea" and THE Old Folks at Home" in
their customary excellent style. After
the opening song Gen. G. G. Andrews
read a carefully prepared address
on 1.-The Third Regiment, Minnesota
Veteran Volunteer infantry. He gave
a history of how it was organized, whom
it composed, when it started out on the
campaign in which it achieved so much
glory also the various engagements it
took part in. The paper was in
terspersed with interesting stories
of the war. 1t was a lengthy address,
but was attentively listened to by the
audience, many :of whom remembered
the circumstances narrated. After Gen.
Andrews paper, Gen. w. r. Marshall
spoke about the work of the Third
regiment in the Indian campaign,
under Gen. Sibley. He told about their
trip to Fort Ridgley and of the battle of
Birch Cooley. He never saw a more
bloody battlefield than that after the
fight at Wood Lake. He paid a great
tribute to the Third, its bravery
and success although always I'M
fortunate in the loss of its men.
The Glen club sang the Soldiers
Farewell" after which votes of thanks
were rendered to Gems. Andrews and
Marshall. The audience then rose
and Joined in singing Marching
through Georgia. and the first part
of the programme closed with selections
by the drum corps. AT the conclusion
coffee and bareback were passed around,
and short time was spent in social en-
endowment

The closely drawn curtains of the
clerk of courts Office were family lumi-
nous last evening, and gave grounds
for suspecting that lights were burning
within. Suspicious were speedily
changed to certainties when, upon a
close examination, faint shafts of light
found escape at the sides of the green
baize shades, and like harbingers of vic
tory disseminated themselves and dis
PEELED the darkness in the immediate
vicinity of the window.
The Democratic county committee
was in session within, and responded in
gOOdly numbers to the call for a meet
ing. The absentees being Messrs.
Hoyt, Hendrickson, Oliver and Waters.
About an hour or SO was spent in a des-
ultory discussion of the candidates for
the various offices, and a reYiewal of
their qualifications, but no conclusion
was reached.
Those present were unanimously in
favor of an early election, and with this
end in view the primaries will be held
Friday evening next, and the cOnven-
ton the following day. The embarraSs-
ment incidental to the redlstricting by
the last legislature was nicely overcome,
and at the primaries on the evening of
Oct. 5, delegates will be chosen to the
county convention only; and the seven
aspirantS for legislative hOnors will be
nominated by the convention at large.
The appOrtiOnment will be indentical
with that of the election of last spring,
upon the basis of one delegate for every
$50 votes polled for city treasurer. In
each ward there will be two polling
places, and the official call will be
formulated in a few days, as well as
incidental business in connection with
the primaries-the names of the polling
places and judges. Harmony Teigned
supreme throughout the evening, and
the sentiment expressed by all was that
there were absolutely no differences to
mend or wounds to heal, but all would
unite in determination to work for
the ticket nominated.

Royal Worcester" Day.

Tomorrow, Saturday, is the last day
of the Minneapolis Industrial EXPOSE
ton. This simple fact, however, is not
so startling as that the management of
the Worcester Corset company have de-
cided to eclipse all previous efforts in
the way of prizes on that day. This
concern has given away each day of
the Exposition an elegant corset; but
tomorrow they will give away no less
than twelve of the finest. 1t will be
necessary, as before, to register at their
exhibit counter to get chance, and
ladies should avail themselves of it.
The company have succeeded in MAX
ing the name Royal Worcester a
household word by course of unprec-
edented liberality since the Exposition
opened. and their exhibit became
widely known as one of the principal
features. Royal Worcester Day" will
add glory to their record.

Germs In Flour Barrels.

The total disregard of the public as to
sanitary precautions regarding their food
is well illustrated by the indifference
with which they accept the guaranteed
cleanliness of barrels in which flour is
furnished. Perhaps they are unaware
that fully two-thirds of the flour barrels
have been bought up from all parts of the
city and various surroundings. \ bar

garnet room or other unpleasant place, is

adequate to destroy any germs it no

scraper is sufficient to give the outside a

Adventure with n Porcupine.

We passed the night on the Witten-
burg, sleeping on the moss, between two
decayed logs, with balsam boughs thrust
into the ground and meeting and form
ing a canopy over us. In coming off the
mountain in the morning we ran upon a
huge porcupine, and l learned for the
first time that the tail of a %porcupine
goes with a spring like a trap. 1t seems
to be o set lock, and you no sooner touch
with the weight of a hair one of the
quilts than the tail leaps up in the most
surprising manner, and the laugh is not
on your side. The beast cantered along
the path in my front, and l threw my
self upon him, shielded by my roll Of
blankets. He submitted quietly to the
indignity, and lay very still under my
blankets, with his broad tail pressed close
to the ground. This / proceeded to in
vestigate, but had not fairly made a be-
ginning when it went off like a trap, and
my hand and wrist were full of quilts.
This caused me to let up on the creature,
when it numbered away till it tumbled
down a precipice.
The quilts were quickly removed from
my hand, and we gave chase. When
we came up to him he had wedged him
self in between the rocks so that he pre-
sented only a back bristling with quilts,
with the tail lying in ambush below. He
had chosen his position well, and seemed
to defy us. After amusing ourselves by
repeatedly springing his tail and receiv-
ing the quilts in a rotten stick, we made
a slip loose out of a spruce root, and
after much m~aneuvering got it wei his
head and led him forth. In what a
peevish. injured tone the creature did
complain of our unfair ~tacticsl He pro-
tested and protested, and whimpered and
scolded like some infirm old man tor
mented by boys. His game after we led
him forth was to keep himself as much
as possible in the shape of a ball, but
with two sticks and the cord we finally
threw him i've on his back and exposed
his quilless and vulnerable under side,
when he fairly surrendered and seemed
to say, "Now you may do with me as
you like" His great chisel like teeth,
which are quite as formidable as those of
the woodchuck. he does not appear to use
at all in his defense, but relies entirely
upon his quilts, and when those fail
him he is done for.-John Burroughs in
The Century.

"You would be surprised" said one of
these enterprising and somewhat grasp
ing merchants the other day, "at the
variety of people who have dealings with
us. We have sold to dry goods clerks
who were working for $1,000 a year
sealskin cloaks for their wives which cost
them as high as $500, Sometimes it
takes three years to pay for them, but
they will have them. The women are
extravagant, or n of the neighbors has
a cloak, and the poor man has no peace
at home until he gets one for his pretty
but foolish and ambitious wife. Last
winter we sold s~eventv-five sealskin sacks
on the installment plan, and in a great
many cases the wives made the purchases
unknown to their husbands and saved
the money to pay for them out of their
allowance for household expenses. We
have ladies come here for their fancy
bonnets, and in many cases for their
dresses, which they never could get if
they had to wait until they saved money
to pay cash for them. We have a num-
Der of cases on our books where articles
of dress are either worn out or have be-
come old style and the women are still
paying the regular installments on their
cost. They must pay or they can't get
any more goods, and they know that,
and are accordingly very prompt and
regular in their payments Chicago

Coal In Ancient Times.

Pliny. in his natural history, describes
anthracites found in Africa as a black
schistose useful in medicine, but no men
ton is made of its inflammability. Jet
was called black amber-succinium
nigrum. When Roman traders told of
the burning of amber for fuel by the
natives on the shores of the Black sea, it
is supposed the material was a variety Of
Ignite, and not amber as reported.
Coal was probably used in China as
fuel long before it was known in the
western world. About the middle of the
Thirteenth century a Venetian traveller
and writer, Marcus Paulus Venetus, gives
the following account:
Through the whole province of
Cathay, black stones are dug out Of the
mountains, which being put in the fire
burn like wood, and when kindled con
tinue to burn for a long time. = y :
If lighted in the evening they keep alive
the whole night"
The ancient Britons made use of coal
to a certain extent. Stone hammers
have been found in coal groupings, and
the name-formerly ''cole"-is Of British
origin. After the conquest the Romans
began to use it, for coal cinders have
been found in Roman walls, and Roman
coins in beds of cinders. But coal was
not brought into general use until the
reign of Charles l, in 1G25.-Henry G.
Hanks in Overland Monthly.

Bravery of Benedict Arnold.

Now, as Burgoyne retreated to the
British ''great redoubt," leaving nearly
all his cannon on the field, Gen. Ten
Brock threw $1,000 fresh New York mill
tia into the American advance line.
Here the unrestrained ambition of Gen.
Arnold showed itself in a series of daring
achievements which touch the reader
of history with admiration and pity. Re
fused a command in the morning by
Gen. Gates, he could no longer keep in
the rear. Mounted on a fire, brown horse,
he led first a brigade at the right and
then n at the left in impetuous
charges on the British position.
"I'n o put an end to it," he cried,
and the soldiers followed him with en-
thusiasm. Riding up to Col. Latimer's
Connecticut regiment, he accosted them:
"Ah! my old friends from New Lon
don and Norwich! Come on, boys; if
the day is long enough we will have them
all in hell before nightl''
While charging over the rail breast
works IN the British right Arnold re-
ceived a wound in the same leg that had
been struck at Quebec. AS he fell under
his horse, he shouted: go on, boys!''
They event on" capturing the key of
the English position and killing Col.
Breymann. The spot is now known as
~Burgoyne's, or more properly Breymann's
hill. The irony Of fate gave Gates, in
the rear. the laurels of victory, and des-
tined Arnold, wounded, at the head of
the American troops, to an infamous
memory. Gates did not even mention
Arnold in reporting the battle.-C. H.
Crandall in American Magazine.

have. Sometimes Tit has been thought
that this was partly due to our system of
free schools, which educates the masses
and gives them the power that comes
from knowledge.
Sometimes it has been said that the
separation of church from State, and the
freedom to worship God according to the
dictates of ones W conscience, helped
to make this nation what it is. Possibly
the vast possibilities of a new continent
of unexc ,lled fertility and resource has
had a good deal to do with the strides of
this nation towards wealth and power.
There may be some who think that the
natural qualities of an American. quick
to think, and ready to act, has something
to do with it. 1t might be suggested that
u system of government, which makes
of every man a freeman, melting him to
the full exertion of all the powers with
which he has been endowed, has some
thing to do with the prosperity and not
that it is due to a war tariff that necessity
compelled us to to make.
Industry and intelligence, the world
over, are the bottom causes of'prosperity
and wealth.

Everybody knows the sizes of thread.
Every seamstress knows whether she
wants No. 80 or 60 or 1870, and knows,
when she hears the number, about what
is the size of the strand referred to; but
how the numbers happen to be what they
are, and just what they mean, not one
person in a thousand knows. And vet it
is a simple matter to explain, was the in
formation accorded to a reporter by an
employe of n of the largest spool cotton
manufactures in the United States.
When $40 yards Of yarn weigh 1000
grains, a pound of cotton, the yarn is
No. l. If 1850 yards weigh a pound, it
will be No. 2 yarn. For No. so yarn it
would take so multiplied by $40 yards to
weigh a pound. This is the whole Of the
yarn measurement. The early manu-
featured thread was three cord, and the
thread took its number from the number
of the yarn from which it was made.
No. go yarn made No. 60 thread, though
in point of fact the actual caliber Of No.
GO thread would equal No. 90 yarn, being
three 60 strands.
When the sewing machine came into
the market as the great consumer, I'M
reasoning in its work and memorable in
its demands for mechanical accuracy,
six cord cotton had 10 be made as a
smoother product. AS thread numbers
were already established, they were not
altered for the new article, and No. 60
six cord and No. 60 three cord are iden-
teal in size as well as in number. To
affect this the six cord has to he made of
yarn twice as firm as that demanded by
the three cord. The No. 60 six cord
would be six strands of No. 1870 yarn.
Three cord spool cotton is the same num-
Der as the yarn it is made of. Six cord
spool cotton is made of yarn that is
double its number. AS simple O thing
as thread is there are 1000 different
kinds made. -New York Mail.
