War on Lotteries.

There is general uprising in Providence R. l., against lotteries, and the police have been ordered to squelch any and every scheme spiced with uncertainty whether in or out of church. This is due to the fact that agents of the Louisiana lottery have flooded the schools with circulars on which are printed the names of successful holders of tickets in New England. These agents have stood at the school gates and have tried to induce boys to buy quarter tickets at $1. Plenty of the youngsters invested sundry quarters, and then lost all interest in their studies while dreaming of the riches which were promised in return. When the parents heard of this they stirred np the Eoce

LOST IN A DAKOTA STORM.
The Fate of Two Schoolboys and
 Their Elder Sister.

The fatC O1 TWO SCnOOlDOyS cuu
 Their Elder Sister.
 News has reached Aberdeen, Dak., that two school children had perished in a storm and that third is not expected to survive the exposure. Their names were French, and the party consisted of two little boys and an elder sister, aged IS. The French family lives about twelve miles east of Hitchcock. When taken to school by an elder brother in the morniug the children promised to wait until he came for them al night. Children belonging to other families were taken home, but these refused proffered assistance, saying they would stay in the scLo oo house all night if their brother did not come. It appears he did start, but could not make his team face the storm and gave it up.
 After waiting till dusk they started home, but lost the road and wandered in the deep snow until exhausted. When found in the morning the two little boys were dead. The girl was severely frozen and is unconscious. If she survives she will lose the lower portion of her limbs and possibly one or both arms.

FROZEN WHEAT GROWING.
Seeds From Sample Lots Sprouting
 and Doing Well.


 and Doing We'll
 The experiments that are being carried on at the Minnesota State Experimental farm with frozen wheat arc attracting the atten- ton of leading grain men. This is the first time an attempt has been made to ascertain whether frozen wheat is worth anyting for seed. The results of the expen- ments thus far have been surprising About thirty samples of frozen or frosted wheat of all grades, from about Mo- 3 down to the poorest sort of shrveed, shrunken, frozen grain, have been employed for the tests. Fifty seeds of each were selected and planted and are growing in the green house. Each sample is labeled and account is taken of the proportion of seeds in each class that germinate and grow. The visitors found this proportion large. Some of the seeds were about the next thing to mere chaff, and yet many of them have sprouted and as a rule seem to be having q healthy growth. The stalks are now six or eight inches high and some of them are stoolng out. It re- mains to be seen whether they have sufficient vitality to mature.
 The experiments up to the present have been very encouraging.

Milkmen near cities always fatten their milch COWS and turn them off to the butchers. There are exceptions enough to this to prove the rule. It is g wasteful practice, and very injurious to good dairying. Most of them feed too much grain and meal. More roots, bran and ensilage will make larger proportion of their substance into milk, and with less tendency to fatten.

while she looked wonderingly at him.

The young man shuddered with a horror he
could not name, and pressed his afianced
close to his breast. Then the girl freed herself
from his passionate embrace and said:
"You foolish boy! do not think such

brightness and happy ~years-years that
should deal lightly with her smooth, fair
