The Orange Peel Club,
Pioneer Press.

Pioneer Press.
A trim-loolzing young woman, who
looked something like a Sunday school
teacher, was seen going along the side
walk, the other day, carefully removing
the banana skins that INSTRUCTED the
way. She did not appear to do this be-
cause of any interest in the property
along there, but simply out of phlian-
throphy, for a banana skin, as every
body knows who has tried it, is a far
from nice thing to step upon.
Inquiry of a gentleman who addressed
the young woman and seemed to know
her developed the fact that she is a
member of an organization know as the
Orange Peel club" This club under
takes not only to remove orange peels
on the sidewalk-which gives it its name
but other similar distractions. And
the members not only engage to do this
small act of philanthrophy, but do
themselves refrain from such little
thoughtless acts as throwing a banana
skin on the sidewalk, no serious trans
erosion in itself, but one that may lead
to quite disagreeable results.

'Information has been furnished the

joint is in full blast in this city, and in

been carefully watched for the past

a raid being made upon the establish
ment. One of the regular frequenters
of the place is prominent society
woman Of this city, and she is con-
firmed opium fiend. The facts have
been brought to the attention of her
friends, and an effort will be made to
prevent her attendance at the resort in
future.
An investigation of the interior of
the joint was made few evenings ago

STATUTE or LIMITATIONS
Pleaded Against ST. Paul
Plaintiff

Considerable interest has been Gre
ated among the lawyers of the state as
to the future developments of the suit
of the widow Head against the Cutler
estate, and somewhat similar case has
already been sbefore the courts, and sis
still pending Judgment.
Judge j. b. BriSbin has Just sub
mitted to Judge Clough, of Superior,
Wis, an argument for the plaintiff in
against ex-senator John ID. How
ard, of Duluth, and though
the same questions OF law are
presented as those in the Head VS.. Cut
Ter ease, the facts are less complicated.
The defense is represented by j. j.
Egan and NJ ID. Mum, and the case
was tried in February last, with leave
to argue in writing, which has now
been done.
The facts, as claimed by the plaintiff,
are: In 1858 he borrowed of the de-
PENDANT 81, 200, and as security for pay
! ment, by deed absolute. conveyed 1,05O
acres Of land, embracing eighty acres
| in what is now West Superior, worth
about $1,000 per acre, and also note
worth $500. There was no written de-
| feaSance, but, as the plaintiff alleged, a
parOl agreement to recOnvey and deliver
| the note upon repayment of the amount
| borrowed with a high rate of
interest. The sum loaned has not been
| paid. About one year ago the
! plaintiff was informed that as
! he claimed a violation of the i'm
| piled trust defendant had sold some
| thing over four hundred acres of the
| land, including the most valuable por-
| ton. The complainant asked for an ac-
| counting as to the amount due on what
he alleges was a mortgage, and for pay
ment of damages for the breach of
trust, i. e.: the present value of the
land and that the land now remaining
| with defendant be restored to him.
| Defendant, in his answer, denies that
| the transaction was loan, alleging that
| it was an absolute sale. The statute of
limitations is also pleaded.

Two travelling men were last evening
discussing in the Merchants the bust
ness prospects of the state. Some excel

the large amount of shoddy material
with which some firms flooded the coun-
try. "This," he remarked, twas par
ticularly the case in the shoe trade"

lated his companion, ''if people refuse
to give the price for the genuine article.
That is the reason why there is so much
Shoddy to be found on sale. And the
reason has to be found i'm the high pro-
tective tariff. The people of this coun-
try-that is. the working class--can af-

ticle, but they cannot at the same time

FARM AND GARDEN.
SAVIOR in Dairy Sailing.

How To Hang Pictures.

When there are TO be many pictures
hung in a room, the walls should be quiet
in color and not elaborate in decoration.
A wall with surface of the slightly
roughened stucco coating. or of paper OF
a single tone of terra Gotta. dull green,
blue or gray. undoubtedly shows pictures
to the best advantage, but if the pictures
are not many nor very choice, then the
general effect Of the room should be the
main object in view. A beautiful ana
effective wall decoration is not by any
means always an expensive one, and very
harmonious results are often obtained
from using the large sheets of cartridge
paper which come in good tones OF dull
blue and terra Gotta, and arranging a
wide freiZe of some harmOniZing or con-
trast.ng color, in which conventional
design has been stenciled. Or if the
owner of the room lacks the time and
ingenuity for such work, paper for this
purpose with a graceful, flowing pattern
in chrysanthemums, or other large snowy
flowers, in subdued colors can now be
obtained at very small cost from any
paperhanger. A narrow molding Of
cherry, mahogany or gilt is pretty finish
to be tackled on where the freiZe joins the
wall covering, and upon this should be
placed the books for hanging pictures.
If some of the money which is spent
in overlooking rooms with trumpery
ornaments that give them cheap, tawdry
appearance, was put into the wall deco
rations, the whole effect would be much
more satisfactory and artistic.
Cretonne cut into two widths has been
used for a frieze with very good effect.
1t is to be put up with small brass tacks.
One ingenious lady took cheap Noting
ham lace and painted the pattern in har-
monizing tones, making a charming

Grass Farming.

There are so many desirable qualities
in the ideal meadow or pasture, says the
Farm anil Home, that no single grass has
been found that will fully satisfy the
progressive farmer. In some of the older
shires in England, as many as two or
three dozen different varieties of grasses
are in use on one farm. And proper
tionate admixture of seeds of valuable
grasses is done with great intelligence.
In the older parts of this country it is al
ready admitted that grasses which ripen
early and late, with others that mature
between, are requisite for pasturage; and,
as more and more experiments are made
in this direction it is found profitable to
have a wider variety of grasses for NOW
ing than was formerly thought necessary.
Not only does the quality of the feed i'm
prove by a variety, but drOughts are
OttentlmeS overcome, and seasons Tor
cutting made later, earlier, or both, so
that two crops can be harvested where
but one was obtained under the old
of the Iowa Horticultural College
remarks that farmers of the STATE
would do we'll to experiment with a
greater variety of grasses, as there are
many valuable kinds not now in cultlva-
ton which could be raised to advantage,
and names the following mixture: Red
clover and orchard grass, 80 pounds OF
the latter to ID of the former; tall meadow
oat grass and red clover, 80 pounds and
- respectively. This admiXture is found
TO blossom the last OF May, and when
mown early in June the clover stood 20
inches high and the oat grass feet.
About 10 per cent. of this hay was red
clover, Is per cent. tall oat grass, and 10
per cent. orchard grass which had crept
in. Being on an exceedingly rich piece
of ground, it was estimated to produce
at the rate of 124 tons per acre OF dry
hay. Besides this. second and third
crops of 26 and 1 inches were produced,
and the grasses showed in every way the
adaptability to each other for meadows.
Tall meadow oat grass and timothy, 10
pounds each, and 20 pounds of orchard
grass, was found to be a poor mixture,
on account of the difference in the time
of ripening, and this was true of a
variety Of mixture which did not seem
to be adapted to each other. This mis-
take of putting such grasses as timothy,
which blossoms and natures late, with
orchard and other early ripening grasses
was very apparent.
