All a Big Bluff.


PRINCETON, Minn., Aug. 31.-The re-
port sent from here to the Pioneer
Press and Minneapol lis Journal that the
Democrats are disgusted with Wilson's
nomination, is all in the correspondents
mind, and is being done in the interest
of the Gilman canvass for the guberna-
tional nomination. Mr.. Wilson, to-
gether with the national ticket, will
carry a strong party vote. and if this
disgusting business continues will do
better. Mr.. Gilman is the strongest
man the Republicans could nominate,
especially in this section, as he is con-
sidered home man, but he won't carry
everything by storm, as has been re-
ported from here. The trouble is the
Scandinavian Republicans are nearly
all going to vote the Prohibition ticket.
This howl about Wilson is all big

Most criminals are young. 1t is sell
dom that grave crime, provided it be
the first, is committed after the age Of
thirty. A careful statistician has
proved that Of the entire population Of
England and Wales the largest proper
ton of criminals is found between the
ages of twenty and twenty five. Five
times as many crimes are committed in
the five years between these limits as il
the ten years between the ages Of fifty
and sixty. Dividing the whole popula-
ton into groups Of those from ten years
to fifteen, from fifteen to twenty,
from twenty to twenty five, from
twenty-five to thirty, from thirty to
forty, forty to fifty, and from fifty to
sixty, it is found that from the age Of
twenty the tendency to crime deer eases
at each successive term thirty-threo per
cent. in the case Of women, and twenty
five per cent. IN the case of men.

How a Horsehair Becomes a Snak e.

Dr. Page asked US if We didn't want
to see a horsehair that had turned to a
snake. We did, and he drew a bottle
from his pocket, filled with water, in
which was what appeared to be a dim
inutive snake, five or six inches long,
writhing and twisting, as if anxious to
escape from the bottle. When put in
the bottle it was nothing more than a
hair from a horses tail. DR.. Mathews
says the hair does not undergo change,
but that invisible animalcuIes that gen
crate in the water collect on the hair
and make it twist and squirm after the
manner of a snake or worm. 1t is held
by good authority that many Of the So
called animalcules have been shown to
be plants, having locomotive powers
something like animals; the motion,
however, is not supposed to be volun-
tary. But the horsehair makes a first
class snake all the same. Hartwell
