THEIR SENTIMENTS.

W. 81. Kincade-Very few people are
expert judges of wine. L have seen
people who eXpatiated on their great
abilities as cOnnoiSSeurS of wine Woe
fully fooled by a very simple trick. 1t
is this: An order would be given at the
table for ali imported wine. An Amer
lean wine would be brought to the per-
son, when he would make loud complaint
and refusing to take it, order it to be
taken back. The barkeeper, whose
wits in such cases are rarely at an end,
bottle having an imported label on. and
returns, all smiles to the customer.
with the remark, ''Why did you not
bring this at first?" The customer
drinks the liquor and smacks his lips
with an artistic air of an expert who
drinks only imported brands. His UNI
educated palate has been fooled by the
label.
Charles E. CarpenJer-Never in the
history of the country has the prOduc-
ton of steam engines and machine
tools been so active as during the past
year. The rapid advances made in
electric lighting, and the extended ap-
plication of cables and electric motors
much to do with the increasing demand
for engines and boilers, yet it is
also true that new shops are
being erected, and the old
ones enlarged and refitted in every re.
spect. The Southwestern and West
ern states show very marked growth
in mechanical lines, and the amount of
machinery lately shipped into that sec
ton from the Northern states is sur
prising. 1t is notable fact that
number OF manufacturers of agricul-
tural machinery are lately giving con-
siderable attention to steam engines for
general purposes.
Herbert Putnam do not hesitate to
say that when we get settled in our
new quarters, the Minneapolis Public
library will be an institution of which
every resident of Minneapolis may feel
Justly proud. Things now are in a
mixed condition, and to those who find
fault | would Say-wait until we get
into the new building.

Observation-Disclosures are more often
over than under rated. The detective
business is like any other calling. 1t
requires application and constant push
and energy. 1t is not so much keenness
and bull dog tenacity that goes far
toward making the successful detective.
The day has long since passed when a
ueUocIlV6 is Regarded DIS SOfl Oh super
natural being with an all-seeing eye,
from whom it is impossible for crimi-
nal to escape. Tie fact of the
matter is that the commission
of crime nowadays, rarely goes IN
punished, owing in great measure to
the system employed in tracing GRIM
inals, and the joint action of the author
tiles all over the country, Or, one might
say all over the world. Crime generally
leaves stain somewhere; and give
faithful officer clue, and he will. in the
majority of cases, get his man. Where
there is nothing to start on, it is differ
ent. But the chief requisite is industry
and untiring efforts to succeed. Genius
can be utilized, but hard work accom-
plishes more.
E. J. Rose-The present season has
been hard one On all classes of bust
ness relying on the sale of seasonable
goods, and great many merchants will
close out their stocks at a very small
margin of profit, if not at loss. This
is particularly true in the clothing
trade. People think, generally, that it
is only the case with ready-made cloth
ing, which can not be carried over be-
cause of the changing styles. This is
true generally. but it has never been
