street car trouble during the past week
no one was killed or severely injured.
The sacrifice of one human lite would

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A fruit now found in the market is
the bitter acid grape fruiS. 1t is excel
lent for people of bilious habits, and
many people learn to like it after eating
it few times. In eating it every
particle of the skin should be removed
from the sections Of the pulp, as the in
ner white skin is very bitter and quite
unwholesome.
The white worm, which sometimes
makes the earth in plant jar look as if
it is alive, can be driven out by stopping
the hole in the bottom of the jar, then
cover the earth with water In which you
have dissolved a little lime. Let this
stand for several hours and it is not
likely that you will be troubled WITH the
worms any more.

None of the household arts are more
ideal than those which relate to table

The present mode of covering tables
with colored cloths stimulates the en-
broiderer, by allowing her work to tell

There we're three persons severely it
not fatally injured in Minneapolis by
falls from buildings during the week
and one drowned. In the matter of ar
rests for various offenses the number
passed the hundred mark, and during
the same time thre were two suicides, a
bank robbery and shooting affair.
This last fact reminds us again that the
world is growing better. Perhaps-out-
side of Minneapolis.

We can hardly see the propriety or
justice of placing the appointment OF
police commissioners for Minneapolis
in the hands of an outside party, wheth-
er it be governor of the State Or any one
else. The appointment or election Of
so important body as this should come
from those who are directly interested
and not from a comparative stranger.
1t is no fault of Governor Merriam s
that he has been placed IN this position,
but it is pretty safe to predict that the
new order of things. as produced by the
legislature, regarding the police COM
mission Of this city, will be found of 10
improvement over the old.

Few men were better known in this
CITY and county than Edward A.
Cramsie who died at his late home, 900
Spring street N. E., Thursday morning,
Of pneumonia at the age Of 81 wears.
It was pity that so naturally bright a
man as poor Ed. Cramsie had been SO
unfortunate in his closing years: He
was man of more than ordinary abil-
ity. pleasant and agreeable among his
fellow men and at one time took most
active interest net only in affairs per-
tanning to his own city but in state and
national affairs as we'll. He was a
blacksmith by trade and came to this
state in 1856. AT the breaking out OF
the war he enlisted in the Tenth Mime
sofa Infantry and served with credit to
himself and country to it's close. In 1875
he removed from St. Paul to Minneapo-
lis and engaged il business here for
himself. About this time he took great
interest in the greenback movement
and was elected a delegate to the nation
al greenback convention; later On he
was candidate of the same party for
sheriff of Hennepin county. He leaves
a wife, three daughters and one son to
mourn their loss. The funeral of de-
ceased took place from the church of

He Overdjd It.

An eccentric clergyman in Cornwall
had been much annoyed by a way the
members of his CONGREGATION had got
into of looking round to take stock OF
late corners After enduring the an
snoyance for some time, he said, on en-
entering the reading desk one day:
Brethren, / regret TO see that your
attention is called away from your re-
ligious duties by your very natural
desire to see who comes in behind you
l propose, he'll cefOrth, to save you the
trouble by naming each person who
may enter, and hope the service will
then be allowed to proceed without
interruption. He then began: Dearly
beloved but paused half way to in
terpolate, Farmer Stubbins, with his
wife and daughter
Farmer Stubbins looked rather sur
prised, but the minister, with perfect
gravity, resumed his exhortation. Pre-
sently be again paused, Sam Curtis
and William Diggle." The abashed
congregation kept their eyes studlcusly
bent on their books. The service pro-
ceeded in the most orderly manner, the
parson interrupting himself every now
and then to name some new conner. at
last he said, still with the same perfect
gravity: Mrs. Symons. Of the Red
Lion, in new bonnet" In a moment
he felt his mistake, but it was too late.
Every feminine head in the congrega-
ton HAD turned around.

The Ring Finger.

In reply to the query, IS s. Which is the
proper engagement ring finger and
which the wedding? ?" jewelers. Circular
replies The third finger is the prefer
red one for both betro thai and marriage
rings, although efforts have been made
at various times to make the engage
ment ring finger the second. Two rea-
sons are assigned for this preference Of
the third digit as the ring finger. First,
the belief entertained by the ancients
that a delicate vein ran from the third
finger of the left hand to the heart.
Second, in the Roman church the thumb
and two first fingers represent the
Trinity, the third being the husband 8,
ito whom the woman owes allegiance
next to God" The left hand was
chosen to show thai s'the woman is to
be subject to man.
In answer to the objection urged g IF
engagement and wedding ring fingers
being the same, you have got to break
the engagement, whereas you are really
sealing it, the authorities quoted say !:
when the betrothal ring is removed to
make place for the wedding ring it is
in token that the engagement with a
fiance is at an end. and with wife just
begun. In a word, the marriage core
mony ends the betrothal. The custom
Of moving the engagement ring above
the wedding ring is significant one,
for the former not only serves as guard
to the latter, but is a constant reminder
of halcyon days whether marriage
proves failure or not.'

Raconolled BY Music.

The Spanish and Indian Californians
were passlonately fond of music. All
the men could make shoes and play the
guitar, and every woman could sing
Spanish songs to her own accompan1-
ment. Bancroft, in his California
PASTORAL tells how the people. after
the conquest of the country by the
United States were reconciled to the
new rule by music.
The Californians were invited to re
snrn 10 their homes and resume their
usual occupations. Proclamatlons

persons and property were placarded il"

SO they remain utterly dependent
Their quick-witted children go to school
at the agency and learn to read and write
within a year. That is all the good it
does them. Imitation is one OF the
strong characteristics of the Cheyenne.
But it will not prompt him to work for
living as long as he doesn' t have to. An
Admirable Cheyenne trait IS affection for
children. The creates drawback the
teachers of the Indian school encounter
results from this trait. Ipdian mothers
will hang about the schoolhouse and
coax their little ones away because they
cannot bear the separation. Ii the CheY-
