MINNEAPOLIS, MIMI, Feb. 24.-T The
Nmthwssten Miller to-day publishes re-
view of the condition Of the winter wheat
crop completed from extensive reports.
Following is Rsummary:
There has been very decided change
in the weather conditions Of the winter
wheat district slncs February l. With
the exception Of some small areas In
Michigan and the States OF Pennsylvania
and New York the entire crop Ia now bare
Of onoW. From tho 18th to the 1G.h inst,
there was more or less freezing and
thawinG weather; from the l8.h to the
l9:h beautiful sping.like weather followed
by very sudden and severe freeze. The
prospects now are that there is an entire
difference in the coming out Of the early
and the late Gown wheat, and this season
this will cut much moro important figure
In the crops than usual, for the reason
that very large percentage Of the crop
was Gown late. Il looks to-day as II the
condition Of wheat In Kansas was better
than in any other State In the winter

What u Chicago business Man Has to
Say on This Subject.
SIN my opinion the secret of success lies
within the reach of all; whether poor
cash boy who receives 81 week, or a
large salaried employe who gets $50 to $50
week, it lies within the province of every
ambitious person to make fortune and an
honorable name. Hard, persistent work,
attention to details, and economy, will be
the lever that viii work the cash boy up to
the highest niche in the temple Of fortune
and fame. None can hope to succeed un-
less they are willing to deprive themselves
of luxuries, and are always ready to work
hard. The American boy or man should
never despair, never give up the ship. : II
at first you don't succeed try, try again. In
my own ex perience, in the past ten years,
had succumbed to dependency or despair
l should not now be at the head of this
business, and lind the great necessity,
even ut present, with lucrative, we'll es-
tablished business, OF uOrkfnV hard and at
tending closely to my business details. The
great mistake most clerks make IL, II they
receive but a small salary, they get dis
heartened, think II impossible that they
can accumulate any money on 30 small an
amount, and hence feel that they had bet
ter enjoy the fruits Of their toll and spend
every dollar and cent they earn, even
going so far us to encroach (by borrowing)
ON their next weeks salary, and should
they lose their positions are left literally
without u dollar. Boys, don't be foolish.

The new sodium-preparing pro-
cess, by which caustic soda is distilled
with an intimate mixture Of coke and
very finely divided iron, is said to
prove capable of successful working on
large scale, and it is expected to re-
duce the cost of sodium to less than q
fourth of its present price; also to
cheaper the production OF aluminium.
-Potates are dried, as fruits are. for
use on ships and in mining camps,
where the fresh vegetables can not be-
easily procured. The potatoes are
sliced and dried in common evapora-
tor, just as apples are, and when used
are soaked in water twelve hours to
soften and freshen them.
A patented material, said to have
all the properties of lignum vitae, is
prepared in Leipsic, by M. Stockhardt,
from ordinary soft wood. The wood is
first impregnated with oil, then sub
jected to great pressure, causing con-
siderable increase in density.
Variation in sound is regulated by
the number of vibrations; the more
numerous these vibrations the higher
the sound. The deepest, gravest tone
that is possible for human ear to hear
has thirty-two vibrations per second.
The highest and shrillest has about
10000. Mans voice can scarcely go
below sound that gives 164 vibra-
tions, nor woman's voice higher than
2,0SS vibrations per second.
An interesting collection of COM
mercial products, made by DR.. Forbes
Watson, has been acquired by Univer-
sity College, Dundee. 1t contains some
$500 samples, embracing between 700
and 800 fibers, over 500 dyes and dye
stuffs, 800 oils and oil-seeds, 600 or 700
gums, resins and guttas, nearly 1000
medicinal substances, and more than
as mahy samples of food-stuffs.
Prof. Haupt has calculated that the
opening of two diagonal streets in Phil
adelphia (S50,000 inhabitants) would
reduce the extreme distances by one
mile and a quarter. The annual num-
ber of passengers carried by the cars
being 125.O00,000, the total saving
would reach about $lS0.000 per mile
travelled. The passengers would gain
1866 years in time and would save
more than 100000 horse power in
| motive power.

sFOR FLESHY PEOPLE,.
An Outline of the SchweninGer Treatment
for Obesity.

for Obesity.
The system of Prof. Ernst Schwenin-
ger for the treatment of obesity, which
was introduced here about two years
ago, has by this time been sufficiently
tested to demonstrate that any body
who will determinedly follow the regi-
men prescribed by it can reduce his.
flesh to any reasonable degree desired.
it being understood, of course, that his
physical condition is not such by rea-
son OF incurable heart or. kidney
disease as to make reduction perilous.
And there is just one thing about it
that is hard to get used to. That is the
absolute prohibition of all liquids dur
ing meals and for an hour before and
an hour after each meal. 1t does not
seem so difficult to do without fluids to
wash down ones food until it is tried,
and the iron pressure of habit in sip
ping and even gulping water, wine.
milk, tea, or coffee while eating is
realized. The very fact of prohibition
seems to make one more intensely
thirsty, and the juiciest food takes on
the astringent dryness of chewed
pomegranate rind. OF course, one be-
comes accustomed to it after awhile,
eventually does not feel any desire for
liquids at the prohibited times, and
even finds less disposition to drink at
any time than he had before. Then
his reward comes, not only in the re-
duction of flesh, but in a surprising
diminution of the nuisance of perspira-
ton, which is the misery of all fat
men.
1t must not be supposed that this
shutting off ofliquids is the whole of the
treatment, though it appears to be the
most important requirement. That
ranking next to it is that one must nOs
gorge with food, especially food in
which sugar and starch are largely
component parts.
The Iron Chancellor still lives by
Schweninger rules and in doing so
keeps down his tendency to growing
fat and remains II wonder of vitality
and vigor at his advanced age. No
longer ago than last April one OF the
special dispatches told how he re-
stricted himself in eating to u light
breakfast and substantial dinner, with
no liquids at meals and only glass of
wine daily, taken just before retiring.
One experiment with the bogus system
of three pints OF water before breakfast
by Bismarck would doubtless afford
Germany another tirst-class fuueral.
There is no royal road to relief from
corpulence that may be travelled with
ease and safety, and without self-sac
rifice. Nostrums are from time to Tina
advertised as affording it-such rs one
now doomed in England, Wd finding
not few dupes here-but they do not.
Starvation la hsnting, and the nos
tsum cures that profess to reduce glut-
tons while pacticing their gluttony II
they will only stake wineglassiul an
each meal," are alite dangerous hum
bugs. Renomchlg liquids seems to be
demonstrated the safest and best thing
when. accompanied by due moderation
In eating, But in no cass Is IT abso'
lutely safe fora fat person TO adopt any
really effective measures for reducing
weight without Thorough preliminary
knowledge OF the. actual condition o.

RESURRECTION PLANT.
1t Apparently Dies, But Comes to ILfe
Again When Wet.

Again When Wet.
"This is the resurrection plant"
said street peddler to reporter, who
had stopped to look at the formers
stock in trade. In the middle Of his
table was basket filled with dried
and curled up mosses Of vegetable
growth. Around it were saucers of
water in which plants were growing.
The peddler explained that the plants
so green and thrifty-looking in the
saucers were the brown and apparent
ly dead lunches in the basket after
placed for short time in water.
"They grow in Chihuahua, Mex"
said he. 1.-The Mexicans call them
siempre viva, which means, always
life.' The plants exist in the crevices
of rocks, and are subjected to long-con-
tinued and severe drouth. After Il rain
they open and turn green, but after the
water dries up they begin to turn
brown and curl up again, and in day
will seem dead. 1t is only after show
ers that they can be found readily, as
when they dry they are too near the
color of the rocks to see without u close
search. go to Mexico every spring
and pick them by the barrel to sell
through the summer"
The dried plants were each about the
size OF II large hens egg, with the
leaves rolled tightly in toward COM
mon center. There was small root
of fbers almost us fine as hair, and at
tached to some were minute pieces OF
rock and traces of sand. The peddler
said he never knew one SO old that II
would not unfold when wet for short
time. He also had several varieties OF
Mexican cactus, that he claimed were
rare In the United States. One was
diminutive in size, hardly larger Than
a thimble. This was said to be the
smallest cactus known. Another kind
was ribbed lengthwise, with long spines
standing out in two directions fiom
each rib. A third was thick growth
of short but needle-like pricl.les. All
/, were small, the biggest not being over
four inches tall.-St. Louis dlote-Deas

Death of an Old Texan.

One of the best known, perhaps, OF our
old Texan citizens was the late Mr.. Lo'
renzo Castro, who after few days Sc
we're illness and years of invalidism,
died at 6 O'Clock this morning from
yalyular heart disease and other causes.
Deceased and his late father, Henry
Castro, founder of the colony, now the
thriving city of Castroville, were at one
time immensely wealthy in lands, but at
the death Of his wife some twelve months
ago, Mr.. Castro has seemed entirely to
lose heart and to gradually draw closer
to the grave and thus closer to her he
mourned. At the time Of his death he
was As years old. The funeral occurs to-
morrow, as per notice in the LIGHT to-
day.
