T Good bye, gayety; good bye, Jollity 4;
good bye, friends of our gayer hours.
We've had jolly season-dances. par
ties, weddings and what not for many
long months, but now we must lay
aside things that are earthly and obtain
physical if not spiritual refreshment.
Lent brings rest to the worldly as well
as spiritual comfort, and the social col

the next few weeks will reflect this fact
more assuredlv than words can tell.
Already the lack of announcements OF
future entertainments may be noticed,
and quiet home parties will supersede
public festivities during the next six
weeks.

THE CAPITOL LANDS
To Be Drained, and Sold to the
Highest Bidder.

After vigorous and protracted fight,
Senator Marcus Johnson secured the
final passage of the bill authorizing the
sale of the capitol lands in Kandiyohi
county. The sale of these lands was
commended by State Auditor Braden
in his biennial report. Senator john
son has encountered considerable OPP
position to the passage of the bill. owing
to an appropriation of $1,000 for the
| drainage of these lands. Practical
farmers argue that the money thus eX-
pended will be recovered by the state
by the increased value of the land.
The bill passed on a vote of-yeas 90,

Our Need for Navy as NeutraIs.

When belllgerents are spurred on by the
demands of so-called military necessity !"
the clamOr of neutrals falls upon deaf ears,
unless the neutrals are powerful enough to
compel attention. 1t is a common mis-
take with Americans to suppose that their
country is one of these powerful states
AS far as available instruments are con-
cerned, we are absolutely helpless To be
OF any effect In such a case, the force must
be actual and visible, and ready for i'm
mediate use. The absurd little feet of half
a dozen war-ships to which our navy has
dwindled counts for nothing in the preser-
walton and vindicatiOn of neutral rights
while war is in progress. Politicians, bust
ness men, and voters may take that fact
for what it is worth to them individually,
but they cannot deny that it is fact. The
great statesmen who directed our affairs
at the close of the last century and the
beginning of this, shaped the mould in
which the law of neutrality was cast for all
time, and the service they rendered by the
force of their character, their fair-minded-
ness, and their intelligence, although rep
resenting state in its infancy, is rec
ognized by publicists the world over.
Yet in respect to the controversies then at
issue, to the rights of individual Americans
which were set at naught by INSCRIPTIONS
belligerents, they could accomplish little
or nothing. Why? Simply because year
after year they adhered to their policy of
unarmed neutrality, as it may be called,
until they were finally driven to fighting.
With the United States to-day there need
be no question of fighting if it pnrsues its
true policy of armed neutrality-if it
brings its fleet up to the old normal stand
ard of from eighty to one hundred vessels
of war. But so long as its sea-coast cities
its area, its credit. its wealth and ali
other elements of potential strength, will
serve but little purpose in securing a re-
spectful hearing from belIigerent aggres-

Old Combs.

The oldest specimens of combs preserved
in the British museum belong to the period
of the second Egyptian dynasty; they are
made of wood, with coarse teeth rather
wide apart; where there is only a single
row, there is a rough attempt to carve the
back into a semblance of a sacred animal,
such as the Cow of Athor or the Goddess
of Beauty. The foundation of one speci-
men, in bore, six-pronged and rudely cut
at the edges, suggests that it was as an
ornament for the hair From that time to
the middle ages there is no evidence to
show that decorative combs were In use
The Greeks were specially fastidious in the
arrangement of their hair, and the Spart-
ans, whose general habits were more severe,
were no whit behind them In the care Law
ished upon it, calling it very shrewdly,
the cheapest of ornaments. and before pro-
ceeding to battle the combing and dressing
of their locks partook of all the solemnity
of religious rite. Before the battle of
Thermopyle, Leonidas and his followers
were discovered by the Persian spy in the
performance of the act. That it was in
some way associated with preparation for
the worship of the gods among the
Romans also is evidenced by the presence
of combs in the cista, or cylindrical vase
with covered lid. which contained the
articles used during the rites Ceres and

should make the domestic wheels move
without Earring. But the hostess must
not appear to notice it. If she is disturbed,
or fiustered. or miserable, who can enjoy
anything?
This necessity for calmness on the part of d
hostess is well satirized in an old-fashioned
novel called Cecil. where the hero writes
to his sister, Learn to be perfectly I'M
moved at your own table, even If your
cook sends up stewed puppy" And an old
poet eulogizes the calm hostess, who Is
Mistress of herself, though china fall
There is no such utter mistake as to lose
one s temper, ones nerve, ones composure,
in company. Society may be a false con-
dition of things, but, whatever its faults,
it demands of a woman the very high vir-
tues Of self command, gentleness and COM
posure. politeness, GOODNESS, and serenity.
Good manners are said to be the shadows
of virtue.
But they are virtues. To be polite is a
virtue Of the very highest.

No Need of Poverty.

After long struggle in business we are
prepared to say there is no necessity of
poverty for any man if he has health. ANY
young man who has been raised to work
land If he has not we care so little for him
1t is not for him we write) can
save at least 800 of his wages the first
year he is entitled to his own wages. And
when he has this amount saved from his
first year labor, it Is far better for him.
and Is a better guarantee of his future in
de pendence, than if he were to be
given 100000 when of age. ANY Young
man In health can and should save one-haif
of his wages at least. A nest-egg of 800
is sacred thing in the estimation of a
properly constituted young man. He at
once begins to study how to make and
save more. As sure as years increase
his capital increases. He soon buys team.
rents farm, or pushes out West and ac-
cepts one of his great uncle, who offers
any one farm. He is soon an indepen-
dent farmer, and lives respected and re-
vered for his industry, his hberality and
his well earned worldly wealth.

The Mysterious Return of a Gold Coin
After Twelve Year
Anousta Me- Ace

Augusta (Me.) Age
In 1868 Lizzie NJ Trask of Vienna. Me-.
was dress-making In Lewiston. She came
into possession of a gold 25-cent piece
with hole in it. This she showed as a
curiosity to her friends At that time she
had a little niece years old, daughter of
Jonathan P Trask, now wife of Leman
Butler, trader In Mt Vernon. The little
coin Lizzie once showed to her niece, Ad
die, when she was very small girl, telling
her that she would give it to her when she
was old enough to take care of it. Lizzie
died twelve years ago. In her possession
was lady's wallet with several compart-
ments. This wallet her mother used until
her death, seven years ago.
Then James, a brother of Lizzie, had it,
and 1t has heen In constant use almost daily
ever since, either by him or his wife The
little gold coin was never seen after Lizzie
death or before for several years by her
friends, and its whereabouts was not known,
and, IN fact, its existence had passed from
their memory. A few days ago Mrs Butler
made her parents visit. stopping with
them several nights.
While there she dreamed that she saw
her Aunt Lizzie's wallet and that it was
faced with green, and IN a certain COM
partment she found little gold coin which
she saw so many bears ago. On telling
her mother her dream she was informed
that Lizzie did have a wallet which an
swered her description and that her Uncle
James had it. The wallet Addie had
never seen. She then visited her uncle and
told her dream to her aunt, who laugh
ed at the idea of anything being in it other
than what she and her husband had placed
there. But at Addie's earnest solicitation
she produced it, and as soon as Addie saw
it she exclaimed:
THAT is the same wallet that I saw in
my dream and pointed out the compart-
ment that held the treasure. She then took
a needle, and, running it to the bottom,
she drew forth newspaper and in it in
deed gold quarter with a hole in it, wrap
ped, no doubt, by the hand of her aunt at
least twelve years before, where it had lain
all this time without the knowledge of any
one until Adde's dream caused it to be
brought forth.

Behavior in a Harem.

Let me describe dinner in the harem
whena guest is present, writes lady who
has been there. Their tables are always
circular and about foot and half in
height They sit like dolls around them
on cushions The DID, inactive and fat,
once down have to be pulled up. They
serve but one dish at time, and that in a
large circular salver of silver, brass, or
sometimes gold. They have no forks,
knives or spoons, but each dips two fingers
of the right hand into the dish and takes
out bit, the meat having previously been
cut into small pieces in the kitchen If
they wish particularly to distinguish a
visitor, they select dainty piece and place
it In her mouth 1t would be an insult to
betray any feeling but delight at such a
mark of favor.
