ST. CLOUD, MINNESOTA.
Its Location, Its Great Natural Advan-
tages and Future Prospects.

ST Cloud is situated upon the Mis-
sissippi river, sixty-tive miles above
Minneapolis, the county seat of Stearns
agricultural counties in the state. Ii
contains 100000 acres of land, $780,
600 of which are under cultivation.
ST. CLoUp's WATER PowER-There
is dam across the Mississippi river at
ST. Cloud. built of granite. 1t has
twelve thousand horse power, is the
most substantial of any in the United
States, available for all kinds of man
ufacturing and milling.
LOGS, LUMBER AND BOOMING FACIL-
ITIEs.-There is an immense amount
of pine timber on the Mississippi and
its tributaries above and north of St.
Cloud. The boomage is excellent. ST.
Cloud presents better inducements for
the manufacture of lumber, than any
other point in the United States.
GRANITE.-There are immense gran
lite quarries here, about six thousand
men are employed.
BRICK AND TILE NAMING There
are immense beds of clay here suitable
for brick and tile.
MANUFACTURING FACILITIEs.-The
construction of the dam has placed all
needed power at the disposal of the
manufacturer; the wheat fields sur
rounding us, as well as the grain from
the north and west, which now passes
through here en- route to Minneapolis
or Duluth offers every inducement for
the manufacture of -four in st. Cloud.
One POO barrel mill is in operation
near the city limits, and another OF
500 barrels capacity is erected on
the canal. AS referred to above,
st. Cloud Is the best point
Ia Minnesota to locate saw mills.
One is already here and two or
three others are expected next sea-
son. Power can be had at low rem
tai, and sites for any kind of manufac-
turing enterprises may be easily Sc
cured. These facts, in connection with
her excellent railroad facilities, point
to st. Cloud as destined TO become a
great manufacturing center.
COMMERCIAL ADVANTAGES. - The
immense country which is tributary
to st. Cloud, together with her nu-
merous lines of railroad, give her an
advantage in the race for commercial
supremacy which is destined to force
her to the front.
RAILROAD FACILITIEs.-Sevenl lines
Of track, running in six different direc-
tions, form a railroad system which
makes St. Cloud the great railroad
center of northern Minnesota. These
roads are operated by the Manitoba
nd Northern Pacific companies,
and they run north, south, east,
west, northwest and southwest. 1t is
also the division headquarters of the
st. Cloud & Fergus Falls division of
the Manitoba. Within it's limits is
probably the largest and finest rail-
road yard in the state, having twenty
miles of track therein. There are also
the Duluth, st. Cloud, Sioux Falls

Simple Remedy for Catarrh.

Many persons in this climate afflicted
with catarrh and bronchitis have not
the money to pay physician. Let
them try this simple, harmless home
treatment, and if faithfully followed it
will afford relief or effectual cure: Take
a common pitcher, holding two quarts
or more, heat it thoroughly, and fill
three-quarters full with steaming, boil
ing water; add instantly teaspoonful
OF oil OF tar; then cnhale the steam
through the nostrils and exhale through
the mouth, put the nose well into the
mouth of the pitcher and take deep,
full inhalation, letting the air pass out
through very small opening OF the
lips. Continue this ten or twenty min
utes at time two or three times daily.
Drink cup'ul OF hot water after each
treatment, also quarter or half hour
before breakfast. Physicians often
charge three dollars or five dollars a
visit for treatment not ms elfectual as the
above. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

The KISSING HABIT.

An Earnest Protest Against One of tho
Greatest Nulsances Of the Age.
1t is really a nuisance. and, in these
days of societies and crusades against
evils, presents good object. We
mean this kissing habit. 1t is certain
that, if the great army OF babies could
speak, they would united in saying.
"Save us; we can not save ourselves"
Poor little helpless things, we pay no
attention TO frowns or tears, but just
because they arc sweet and attractive,
pounce upon them like hawks, and kiss
them with the greatest freedom; and
much more serious results follow than
that many times disease is transmitted
by kissing. Girls are the guilty ones
In this bad practice Very rarely does
boy kiss another boy, even his own
brother. But girls!-that u.s. some girls
kiss every girl friend, anywhere =
street, church, school, cars, anywhere;
sometimes they will kiss strange girl
when parting from her. just because,
she is with friend. That is even a
worse habit: kissing u girl when they
do not feel at all kindly toward her;
when in the next breath they will make
criticism that shows they have even
dislike. Wide Awake says on this sub
ject:
Girls are impulsive they would
lose much of their charm il they were
not; they make their dear five hundred
! friends, and every time they meet and
every time they part they kiss one an
other. The dear five hundred, or the
most of them, drop out OF daily life as
the years go on, and are replaced by
others, and the habit grows until now
you can see women kissing each other
everywhere-in cars, at railway sta
tons, in all public places"
Last summer some young woman and
girls met at n summer hotel for the first
| time. Before the end of the week
stranger would have been justified in
thinking that they had known each 9TH
or from infancy. They were insepara-
Bile. They walked up and down with
their arms around each other, they
kissed goodbye if only parting for
few hours row. They apparently were
bosom friends, with no secrets. Not
long since, one who had seen this vio-
lent growth of affection met one Of the
group; they had scarcely seen each
other since their return, and apparent
| ly had lost all interest in each other;
SO, with Wide Awake, we say:
Remember kiss is the most sacred
expression of love which you can give
to your mother, or your sister, or your
dearest friend; and | tell you now what
| know to be true, that really refined
women, as they grow older, grow chary
of scattering such gifts right and left
to every acquaintance After all, my
message may be packed into that one
word so expressive in its modern use,
don t. '"-Christian Union.

He was a tenor singer noted for the
sweetness of his voice, and consequent
ly favorite with the public This was
gratifying to him. but encores grew
tiresome after time, and he began to
consider it unfair that he should be
compelled to perform double work every
night that he sang. He thought these
things over until he waXed wroth.
One day, while promenading the
principal street of the city where he
was singing, he thought he would do a
little encoring himself and see how it
would work. He stepped into a hat
store, found the proprietor, whom he
recognized as a patron of the opera,
and asked the price of silk hat.
"Seven dollars" was the reply.
The tenor selected one and paid for
it, and then he shouted, Encore
