The street car wit is named legion. He
delights to stand on the platform and
make remarks which he believes are
funny. The other day one of them stood
among the smokers on the front end of
an Indiana avenue car and waited for an
opportunity to DO comical. 1t Don pre-
sented itself. At the corner of Twenty
secondhstreet stood an old organ grinder
who was grinding away on his aged in
strument. The funny man saw him and
his face lighted up. He was about to be
funny. sis it not wonderful" he said,
show that old man there car play those
tunes wholly by ear and without the use
of notes? He must be n trained mu-
stefan" And then he looked around at
his fellow passengers for the expected
laugh. No one even smiled, and the
driver looked around at him as if won
dering whether or not he was clothed in
his right mind.
This awful silence panied the street
car Touchstone, and the iron was ground
deeper into his soul by a young man who
stood c to him and who turned and
said: "You are mistaken, sir, about that
musical instrument. 1t is n mechanical
device, and one who is not n musician
can play it." Then he went on to give
the funny man a description of the hand
organ, and wound up by saying: 'Your
mistake is perhaps natural, but when
you have lived here in the city longer
you will learn all about these things"
The funny man alighted at the next
corner, and the smokers all shook hands
with the young fellow who had picked
him up SO neatly.-Chicago Herald.

Most people have experienced the
curious fear which comes upon men
at the edge of n steep. Probably nine
out of ten mortals recoil with a GER
tain terror from the depths of space
before them when on n house roof or at
the edge of a natural precipice. In
some cases this fear amounts, indeed, to
a horror, the keenest which can be ex-
perienced outside OF the nightmare
state. In any other danger the dispo-
sition is to seek safety, but on the
steep the motive is 10 plunge at once
into the gull. 1t is probably this UNI
reasonable impulse which gives the
peculiar n of horror to the situation.
With most people the measure of the
fear probably depends, in good part,
on the general state of the
system. On first going to a mountain
country, l find it impossible to face
difficult passes which abound with
precipices, but, after a month, the eff
feet of the tonic air and out door life
removes in good part the irritation
which such situations at first produce.
The general occurrence of this pecu-
liar fear is a matter Of great scientific
interest All other fear may be ex-
planned, as it commonly is, by the Oar
winian hypothesis. Animals which
have feared most for their lives have
most effectively fed, and have nat
urally .propagated their kind, while
those destitute of the sense of fear
have fallen a prey TO their enemies.
But this peculiar fear OF the steep can
not be explained by the hypothesis of
selection; it remains for the skillful
devisers Of explanations TO find some
other ccoun for it-N. S. Shaler in

Japanese oranges are different from
our ideal of an orange as they can well
be, separating from the peel almost as
easily as a grape, dividing into sections
at the slightest pull, each section like a
separate fruit, dissolving its piece into
your mouth with flavor of cherries,
leaving no pulp behind. Very good, ex-
cellently good, they are. They, the
latest of her fruits, add the crown of ex-
cellency to the already overlooking cor

A LESSON FROM NATURE.
How to Cure Cold.
A SUBJECT IN WHICH WE ARE ALL MORE

SUBJECT IN WHICH WE ARE ALL MORE
OR LESS INTERESTED.
To cure cold quickly it must be
properly treated as soon as the first
symptoms appear. DO you know the
first symptoms? if not, you will un-
doubtcdly remember having them ut
numerous times and that you did not
consider them at all scrioli or even
worthy of your attention. They arc
a dry loud cough, thin white coating
on the tongue and profuse watering
discharge from the nose. Any ono or
more of these symptoms is natures way
of telling people they have taken cold,
and gives them ample time to cure it
witkin two days If they desire to. The
free use of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy will restore the system TO healthy
condition within that time. If however
the cold is neglected and allowed to
become settled in the system several
days or even a week may be required
to effect a euro, as nature must then
take its course and all that can be done
is to aid nature in freeing the system OF
the cold, which is best accomplished by

It looked like q weatheicock perched
upon his spindle neck 10 tell which way
the wind blew. ToRee him striding along
the profile of hill on windy day. with
his clothes bagging and iluttering about
him, one might have mistaken him for
the genius of famine descending upon
the earth, or some scarecrow eloped from
cornfield.
His school house was q low building of
one large room, rudely constructed Of
partly patched with leaves Of copy books.
1t was most ingcniously secured at va
cant hours by withe twisted in the
handle of the door, and stakes set against
the window shutters; so that though q
thief might get In with perfect ease, he
would find some embarrassment in get
ting out-an idea most probably bor-
rowed by the architect, Yost Van Houten,
from the mystery of an eel pot. Tho
school house stood In rather lonely, but
pleasant situation, just at the foot Of q
woody hill, with brook running close
by, and formidable birch tree growing
ut ono end of it. From hence the low
murmur of his pupils voices, coming
over their lessons, might be heard of O

the authoritative voice of the master, in

along the flowery path of knowledge.
Truth to say, he was u conscientious man,
that ever bore in mind the golden maxim,
"Spare the rod and spoil the child"
Ichabod Cranes scholars certainly were
not spoiled.
Iwould not have II imagined, however,
that he was one of those cruel potentates
of the school, who joy In tho smart OF
their subjects; on the contrary, hc nd-
ministcrcd justice with discrimination
rather than severity; taking the burthen
off the backs of the weak, and laying it
on those of the strong. Your mere
puny STRIPPING that WINGED at the least
flourish OF the rod. was passed by with
indulgence; but the claims OF justice
were satisfied by inficting II double por-
ton on some little, tough, wrong headed,
broad skirted Dutch urchin, who sulked
and swelled and grew dogged and sullen
beneath the birch. All this he called
"doing his duty by their parents;" and

DOINGS AT DULUTH.
Taxpayers of the Zenith City Want
No More Officers.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, April 16.-Mildly speaking
Duluth and st. Louis county taxpayers
would like to ave the legislature at
st. Paul understand that we have all
the officers we want up here for the
present, at any rate. The latest scheme
to have county assessor appointed, in
volving an expenditure of some $35, 900
or $40, 600 per year. is not looked upon
with any greater degree of favor than
the one to have the secretary of the
chamber of commerce made a salaried
official. The work it is proposed to
have a county assessor perform is now
very acceptably attended to by the
county commissioners, and as the
county is already putting up good
$4,000 every year in salaries, an addi-
ton of some SO or 40 per cent is not
quite the popular thing.
A telegram dated at Duluth was pub
llshed in st. Paul paper last evening,
stating there had been an advance of
25 per cent in dressed beef by handlers
in this city. Inquiry this morning
failed to verify the report. There has
been absolutely no change in the price
of that commodity here as yet, though
an order to advance would occasion
lllIlt surprise.
At Mayor Sutphin's abattoir, slaugh-
tering was commenced yesterday, and
from this out about eighty beeves will
be killed and dressed daily.
Though the Duluth Street Railway
company will have no trouble with en-
ployes, so far as wages are concerned,
it is not unlikely that it will have set
to with the city council and citizens
generally. We have 10000 people here,
and but one little measly line of cars
running along one street. and only
about two-thirds the length of that.
Last night some 1900 citizens petit
toned the council to compel the build
ing of line along Fourth street, and
residents of the East end on Bench,
Superior, First and Second streets are
after he company with sharp sticks to
compel it to bring its mule teams out as
far as Eighteenth avenue at least. The
officials complain that their line is be-
ing operated at a loss now, but there is
an anxious company already incorpo-
rated to relieve the present stockhold-
ers if they should feel like dropping out
of the market. Duluth is determined
to have better street car service during
the coming season, and the present COM
pany will probably see the necessity of
complying with the reasonable requests
made.

RAMALEY'S FREE EXCURSION
To White Bear Lake a Graud


Success.
1. Notwithstanding the threatening
weather yesterday afternoon, over 800
persons went out, over 100 of whom
were ladies. The object of the excur-
sion was to show the property that
Ramaley & Co. are now selling on tn e
subscription plan at $3.50 per lot. On
the arrival of the train at the lake the
party was invited across the way to Mr..
Ralnaley's residence. where he spoke for
Short time on the advantages of homes
at White Bear as compared with other
suburbs. after which all took a stroll
through the Park. He was assisted in
showing the property by A. M. Bigford,
Esq, Prof. George Seibert, Eugene
Newman and others. Every one was
well pleased with the property, and
number of them came forward
and put down their names
for one and two lots each.
and many promised to do likewise on
their return to the city. The party re-
turned at $50 p. M, well pleased with
the trip-and especially with Ramaley
Park. Another excursion will be given
on Saturday next for the benefit of those
who were disappointed yesterday, on
which day Messrs. Ramaley & Co. hope
to complete the sale. Special invita-
ton is again extended to ladies to ac-
company the excursion. RamaIey &
