IT is now thought to be good plan to
mix cotton with the pine needles in the

cotton to make the pillow soft. One good

two, and this becomes n measure of econ

suggested the use of cotton.

Clarkson Doesn't Pitch Well
Enough to Beat the
Washingtons.

The fifteen-round contest to decide
the claims of Cardiff and Killen to the
heavyweight pugilistic championship of
the Northwest takes place this evening
at the Washington rink, Minneapolis,
under circumstances favorable in every
respect for match that will fairly de-
eide the question of superiority between
the two men, which has kept sporting
circles on the qui vive for the past two
years. Both have trained long and
carefully, and if either is defeated the
claim of poor condition cannot be set
up. All that is needed is the selection
of an impartial referee. who will see
that the Marquis of Queensberry
rules, which are to govern the con-
test, are observed. This will be
done this afternoon, when the
hackers of the men meet at the Nicollet
house, and the probability of delay by
a wrangle at the rink will thus be
avoided. The accommodations for the
spectators will be as satisfactory as
possible. The number of tickets has
been limited to 2,500, which will enable
all present to be seated. There will be
no preliminary Set-tOS, and instead OF
the customary boxing exhibitions,
MilIard 4 Thyle's band will discourse
music. Nine o'clock is the time named
when the men are to appear, in order
that the contest may be concluded at a
SeaSonable hour.

Health in Hot Water.
DR.. William Hammond.

DT w ilidill
Excessive heat causes gastric juice
and intestinal diseases. and especially a
peculiar disorder known as heat-fever
or sunstroke. To lessen the liability to
the first group mentioned. some atten-
ton to the food taken into the system
is necessary, and it is especially
requisite to avoid vegetables
or fruits that are not fully
ripe. There is scarcely vegetable
grown in our climate and which is used
as food which is not wholesome if eaten
in season, not in Semi-decompOSed
state, and properly prepared for the
table. A like statement is applicable to
fruits, from the strawberry. which is
the first to appear, to peaches, pears,
and apples, which come later in the
season. But when they are brought
from distance. having been picked
when still green. and after their arrival
frequently been kept by the dealers
until they are more OF less rotten,
they cannot be considered suitable
articles of food. Children are especially
liable to suffer from eating such sub
stances. Their digestive systems are
exceedingly delicate, and their nervous
systems are very impreSsionable. Ere
Quently the groundwork for serious or
ganic disease, from which recovery is
scarcely possible, is laid in childhood
through the neglect of parents to prop
erly supervise the food of their children
during the summer season. | have wit
messed mary cases of epilepsy which
have been caused by green berries and
other fruit, especially apples, that have
been eaten in childhood.

THE LEADING ORGAN
Looking for an Uprising Which
Will Never Come.

NEW YOCK, June 25.-The Tribune
says: 'The convention was remarkable
for its cool and patient deIibera-
ton, which has never been sur
passed, and in its declaration of
Republican principles. 1t has nomi-
mated as the Republican candidate for
the presidency Benjamin Harrison, of
Indiana. The seat in the United States
senate which he filled worthily and
with honor has been stolen by
Democratic crime. His nomination for
a higher office gives the people of In
diana an opportunity which they
will probably improve, to show
their detestation of the crime and of the
party which made Cleveland president
by robbing citizens of their rights
After reviewing his public and
private life and comparing him with
his opponent, the Tribune concludes:
with man SO strong and worthy the
Republican party has right to
look h"t n,f for ++ s?pn popular t uprising

He had been successful through
He had prostituted the public
service to his private ambition, and the
people found four years of Democracy
more than enough. They elected Harri-
son to put an end to the prostitution
of public service and this year the cleo
ton of another Harrison would have the
same result. The needs of the nation
will be felt in the coming
struggle for more than per-
s0nality of candidates. Threatened
industries, robbery of the peoples
rights in the South and in Indiana, and
debauchery of the public service, should
make the Republican course irresist-

"A Thousand Years AGO.

An old author gives this sketch of
matters at that time. In the year 800
after Christ what was the state of
Europe? The Goths, Vlsigoths, the
Vandals, the Franks, the Huns, the
Normans, the Turks, and other bar
barian hordeS, had invaded and over
thrown the Roman empire, and had es-
tablished various Kingdoms upon its
ruins. These hOrdeS of Savages
had destroyed, not only all
the works of civilization, but
civilization itself. Ignorant, as
they were of everything that
distinguishes and elevates human nat
ure, they broke up the schools, abol-
ished arts and manufactures, ruined the
monuments, prevented commerce, and
reduced the conquered nations to their
own condition, inaugurating in the COM
pletest manner the reign of brute force
and mental darkness. At the time we
begin our specific examination we find
that in the so-called Christian ma
tions there existed no science worthy
of the name, and no schools
whatever. Reading, writing, and ci-
phering were separate and distinct
trades. The masses. the nobility, the
poor and the rich, were wholly unac-
Quainted with the mysteries of the al
pndDet anu tic pen. n lew HIGH klOWn
as clerks. who generally belonged to the
priesthood. monopoliZed them as a
special class of artists. They taught
their business only to their Seminaries
and apprentices; and beyond themselves
and their few pupils no one knew how
to read and write, nor was itexpected of
the generality any more than it would
| be nowadays that everybody should be
shoemaker or lawyer.
Kings did not even know how to sign
their names, so that when they wanted
to subscribe to a written contract, treaty
or law, which some clerk had drawn UP
for them, they would smear their right
hand with ink and slap it down on the
parchment, saying, Witness my hand.''
Alta later date some genius devised the
substitute for the seal, which was i'm
pressed instead of the hand, but oftener
besides the hand. Every gentleman
had seal with a peculiar device there
on. Hence the words now in use,
"Witness my hand and SEAL" affixed to
modern deeds, serve at least the pur-
pose of reminding us of the ignorance
of the Middle Ages.

FIGHTING A WILD BOAR.
A Graphic Description of a Thrill
ing Adventure in the WiIds of

Cuba.
Discouraged in our quetS for wild
boar, says Edgar l.. Wakeman, writing
to the Washington Star from Cuba, we
etraced our way toward the mountain
ers' cabins. All the afternoon Jose
had at intervals unloosed our remaining
dog, and giving grunt in imitation of
the wild hog, the wise animal had
bounded out of sight, ventiar lejoS-Or
with nose appraised and smelling far"
as the Cubans have it-but had invaria-
bly, returned without trace of our
sought-for game. But suddenly, when
not mile disrant from the mountain
eers', he left us with a yelp and
spring, and away we all went pell-
nell after him, myriads of disturbed
owls splitting and Shrieking above. A
run of twenty rods brought us to the
dog and huge black boar, thirty feet
away, which had turned to protect the
retreat of herd of wild hogs scamper-
ing away behind. ''Aqui esta un baraco
cimaron!" C'Here is wild boar!'O
shouted Jose, wild as the dog itself with
delight. There stood the savage fellow,
all head, bristling shoulders, legs, tail
with plumpy trembling end, jaws and
tusks, champing and cracking his jaws,
from which great rolls of foam were al
ready working, with hideOuS. sucking
sound, a splendid picture of ferocious
brute bravery. To one side and another
he sprang as the dog crowded him.
Then he would charge the dog
and whirl in the air, scattering
the earth like an exploding shell.
Closer crowded the two brutes, in air
half the time, each bent on death, the
dog frequently clearing the boar at
bound, and maddening him with savage
snappingS and lacerationS of shoulders
OF hams. Over and under went the dog
with marvellous agility. frequently send
ing the boar four feet into the air; but
every charge from the dog brought a
still more savage cOunter-charge from
the boar. L believe no such agile and
ferOcious movements were ever else
where seen. For forty feet in every
direction the forest ground looked like
freshly plOwed field, and it seemed
to my startled eyes as though cyclone

A Thrilling Tragedy That Holds

Hours.

Hours.
The curtain went up and the curtain
went down, writes Ruhamah to the
Globe-Democrat from Yokohama, relat-
Ting her experiences at a Japanese play,
or rather it was drawn aside and closed
again, in obedience to the thumps on
the planking of the stage in French
style. The revolving stage went around
aud around, and men, women and pa
/ lanqulnS came down the raised aisle
+ through the audience that serves as
stage entrance for the artists. There
were funny scenes where spy under a
tea-hOuse tfoer gets drenched with wa
ter, but finally clutches the end of the
long-rolled scroll of a letter as it dropped
from the hand of drunken read
er. Another time the spy apparently
starts off in kago, but at the first rest
puts heavy stone in his place and
draws the curtains. The bearers
rudge Off with the burden, accidentally
drop the kago, and after profuse apol-
ogies, draw the curtains to see why the
occupant makes no sound or protest and
discover the stone.
The audience was as great study as
the scenes on the stage, and when the
action dragged and two priests OF two
citizens sat alone in plain setting and
talked interminably, the men, women,
children. and babies in the audience
were most entertaining. Their lunch
boxes were brought them at noon, the
play beginning at 1880 in the morning;
second meal was served between
and O'Clock, and at s
they were fortified for the tragic
finale by more boxes of rice
and chOp-Stick ShredS Of fish, meat, and
unknown things. Teapots and trays of
sweetmeatS were going all the time, and
when the curtain was drawn upon
scene there was Scurrying of walters
to the boxes, and all the children
climbed upon the narrow board aisles
and ran about the theater, rOmping even
OH the stage itself. The foreigners in
the gallery-bOXeS ate at about the same
hours and quite as continually. and al
though nothing could sound more ia
tiguing than sitting through ten-hOur
play, none of us left until the last act
was over. Two elderly Americans, who
went to the play to satisfy young daugh-
terS and nieceS, amused the audience
by playing games OF chess for the most
of the afternoon. One sat with his back
to the stage, and both were lost in study
ing the move of king, queen and pawns.
while the thrilling scenes of the days of
chivalry were being reproduced at their

New York Telegram.

New YORK Telegram.
Coiled up in the window of Broad
way cigar store, among a lot of bad
cigars and chewing tobacco, lies curl
osity that has played a prominent part
in American history. 1t is bit of rope
about three feet long, with nothing at
tractive about it, and yet hundreds have
asked its history. AZ reporter. who did
the same yesterday, received this inter
eStlng answer:
"Well, sir, that piece of hemp you see
in my window is all that is left of the
rope that hung Maj. Andre, the SPY.
The original piece, some six or eight
feet long, | believe, has been cut up
into little pieces and given away as
mementos, and the piece there is all
that is left. 1t came into my possession
somewhat curiouSIy. Several years ago
l kept little cigar shop in Albany, and
one of the two men working for me was
a green hand from up the state some
where, who had landed in Albany with
out cent. He used to board at nv
house, and one night he left, leaving a
board bill of $40 or S12 behind him un-
paid.
HE also left small trunk and let
ter, in which he asked ME to keep the
trunk for him until he could redeem il
by paying his board. I kept the trunk
for nearly six years, and then, not hear
ing from the man, opened it. Among
other things l found this rope, which
the young mans grandfather had taken
from Andres neck the day he was
hanged, and kept it as a memento of
those stirring times. There was also a
little book with the rope-a sort of
ledger in which the grandfather and
his son had kept record Of those to
whom the pieces of rope had been
given. and whittier they had gone.
Three of the pieces had been sent to
England, one to Australia, another to
an English officer IN Constantinople and
the rest were distributed among diff

NATURAL GAS In CHINA.
Wells Found in Sandstone and
Clay, and the Way They Are

Clay, and the Way They Are
Worked.
Here is something to interest capital
lists, scientists, students-all who like to
note the workings of natural gas. 1t
seems, says the Boston Advertiser. tndt
this product has been let out and put to
use in China. Consul DENLY writes
from Pekin that most of the wei Is
are found in sandstone and clay. When
a portion of the rock is smashed
clear water is poured into the hole: a
long bamboo tube with valve in the
bottom is lowered, and tie tllrpid water
raised to the top. Pipes of cypress wood
are rammed III TO protect the sides
of the bored hole and to prevent
ground from getting access to the
we'll; the pipes are attached to
each other at the ends with nails,
hemp, and tung oil. The inner width
of the pipe is about five inches.
AS the work proceeds the pipes are
rammed deeper, and a new one attached
on the top; the rope, too, is made long
er. At depth varying from 70 to 100
change GOO to LOCO feet the brine is
struck, and the well is fit for use. The
brine is raised to the top through long
bamboo tubes and bamboo ropes, as de-
Scribed, by means of a horSe-whim, and
then carried to large pans for evapora-
tiOn, or led to them through bamboo
pipes,
Besides these wells there are others,
which are bored to the depth of from
1880 to 1000 feet. At that distance
below the surface petroleum is struck.
Immediately OH reaching it an infiam-
mat0ry gas escapes with great violence
Work is now stopped, and wooden cap
fastened over the mouth of the pit, per-
forated by several rows of round holes.
In each of them bamboo pipe is in
serted, and through these the gas is led
under the evaporation pans. The pipes
| ramify, and on each end tapering
mouthpiece. terminating in small
aperture, is attached. The gas is then
used for evaporating the brine.
The enterpriSing spirit which induced
| the Chinese to examine the ground at SO
| great depth is said to have had its
| origin in the drying up of brine pit.
| The proprietor was in hopes of meeting
| brine at a greater depth, but found in
| stead the gas. When the country was
| infested with rebels during the TAPPING
rebellion they removed the cap from one
| of the gaS-pitS and set fire to it. Since
that time, or at least up to the time that
Baron RichtOfen wrote, long column
of fire rose from the pit, and it is con
Sidered nearly impossible to stop the
flame. The gas pits and brine pits are
owned separately by corporations. The
owners are subjected to the control OF
the government. The government
monopoly is in the hands of the .'tao
