oUININE ovERCOATS.

Few people have any idea of the
amount of quinine that is consumed in a
period of time or of that sold by single
dealer in the drug. Extravagant stories
have been told by individuals as to the
amount of the alcholoid which they
have consumed, and if it has not been
a quantity sufficient to put them in a
wooden overcoat it would probably,
converted into cash, provide comfort
able top coat for winter wear. This time
of the wear overcoats are out of season,
and the question uppermost is how to
keep cool and where. Rest and recrea-
ton come in that line. Thoughts of this
kind should lead one to inquire of any
agent of the Minneapolis q st. Louis
Ry. as to summer rates to tourists points
in all parts of the country, or for short
fishing excursions. Any special infor-
nation will be cheerfully furnished up
on application to G. M Pratt, G. I. q P.

PROBATE JUDGSHIP.

The people of Blue Earth county will
soon be called upon to select full coun-
ty and legislative ticket, as well as State.
AS an individual can cast his ballot for
but one of the various candidates for the
respective Offices to be voted upon, it is
important to him as lover of good gov
eminent, and for the efficient discharge
of public business, that he select the
very best men. Everything being
equal, it is duty that one owes his par
ty that he support the nominees on the
ticket placed there by the representa-
tives of his party, and if he is true to his
profession he will do so But where
there is difference in the capabllity,
efficiency and knowledge of the affairs
to be administered by the candidate ask
ing your suffrage, party should not SO
blind one as to prevent aiding the cleo
ton of the best man.
AS matter of fact there is no office
to be voted for this year that appeals
more strongly to the conscience of the
living than that of Probate Judge. Alive
to-day, you may lie cold and inanimate
tomorrow, and for the protection of
your wife and children you should place
every safeguard for the careful, Judi
cious, and economical administration of
your estate. How often do we see great
estates squandered, and the family rear
ed In luxury and surrounded by everv
comfort reduced to penury and want,
from lack of honesty in the proper adj
ministration of the affair left to the
hands of others. This Office comes home
to every man who has or expects to
gain any of this worlds goods, and in
casting your ballot in November for a
candidate for Judge of Probate it may
be for the very man who will have
charge of the administration of your es-
tate.
For this important and responsible
position Judge Geo. w. Mead is a can
didate for reelection. For several years
he has been tried and found true. No
man can say that he has ever betrayed,
In the slightest degree, any single trust
confded to his official or private care.
Every estate has been scrupulously
guarded and administered with the ut
most fidelity. In him the people can
feel secure. His experience, coupled
with his integrity makes him invaluable
in the office, and his election should

SUICIDE BY FREEZING.

Aunt Mehitabel Conin's Attempt eo
 shufne on This Mortal Coil.
 Aunt Mehitabel Coffin, not moro than short generation ago, lived in g cold old house down on the cold side of Cape Cod, with houseful of rather frigid maiden ladies, her sisters and nieces. Becoming little unset tied in her mind, Aunt Mehitabel re- solved that she would battle no longer with an indictment world She an- nounced to the family one particularly cold morning that she had made up her mind to commit suicide.
 "Law'ssakesp p exclaimed her young or sister Abigail incredulously, ''how do you think you're going to kill your self, Mehitabel7"
 ''The most nat'ral way round here, said Aunt Mehitabel with a shiver, ''is to freeze to death. An that's the way I'm goin' to do it!"
 The rest of the family laughed her to scorn. Bnt when she had made all her preparations to go, and had even given away her Paisley shawl and her string of gold beads, their skepti- cism turned to alarm. It began to look as if she were actually in earnest. The 44xt night the thsxmuQstae Hsut

A Good Mans Happy State.,

The wife of Rev. Thomas Mac Mas ters, a retired elder of the Methodist Episcopal church of Glens Falls, N. Y., states that her husband came into the house about o'clock one evening feel ing quite well, apparently, and sat down on the bed before retiring, when he was stricken with paralysis. Almost immediately he began to laugh as if ecstatically happy, and there came about his head halo which transfgured his countenance. The circumstance of the halo is corrobor- ated by the younger Mrs. MacMasters, who further says that it lasted one hour and half, and was like lumin- ous cloud about the old mans head.- Chicago Herald.

Difficulty of Being 2 Baptist.


 It is hard to become a real old fash toned Baptist in New York nowadays. The running streams in which it used to be necessary to be baptized are all monopolzed within the city by unbe- ievers, who look with disfavor upon the idea of their property being tramped over by Sunday crowds, even of baptixers. The heads of the churches that stick to the old form of baptism, which are now chiefly among the colored people, find it every year more difficult to find place at which to hold their annual baptizing. Churches down town have to take their converts to Harlem to find a place in which to immerse them, and they must hire the grounds at that New York Sun.

Buttermilk Drinking.

''I sell from 200 to 250 quarts of buttermilk day" said dealer in Jefferson market. Ut is really aston ishing how the public's taste for butter milk has grown"
 A little inquiry showed that this dealer was not ansexception among his fellows. In all portions of the city 8 big trade is being carried on in butter milk. During the summer months the trade in 1t is enormous. It costs from 11 to 3 cents a quart, and as the retail CTS get from 3 to cents per quart for it there is very nice margin of profit
 It is well known fact that there are very few if any more healthful drinks than buttermilk, and it is espe- pecially recommended to thin persons, as it is even more fattening than sweet milk. A prominent physician told the writer that he had frequently pre- scribed it for patients afflicted with kidney diseases. He added that from a pint to quart taken just before re- tiring frequently relieved insomnia New York News.

Misnamed Children,

It would be good thing if the nam ing of children could be postponed long enough to give those who are to name them the opportunity of learn ing something of their character and talents. But, alas! this can never be, as children would then have to grow up nameless. So Cecilia detests music, Lily is a brunette of. the darkest type, Helen is not beautiful, Sophia is not wise, and often Mabel is not lovable.

down almost to zero. Aunt Mehitabel told them all wailing good-by at about o'clock in the evening, and went up to the spare room, which was of course the coldest room in the house. She put up the window, sat on the sill, and hung her feet out into the joy north wind. EetE
 There was no man in the household, and no woman strong enough or brave enough to compel Aunt Mehitabel to get back into the room. So the sisters and nieces gathered about, shivering in the intensified cold of the spare room.
 By and by the suicide began to show signs of uneasiness in her perch at the window.
 "Wal," she said, II guess it's bouts easy to freeze to death on the floor as 'tis out here" ~tts-> -S t.e-a-
 She crept back into the room and crouched down upon the hard floor, moaning and complaining. By this time the other women of the house hold had fled back into the passage way, and stood waiting in the dark ness
 "Beats all," they heard Aunt Me hitabel murmur presently, Chow hard this ere old floor is! guess I'll sit on the rug" t
 She moved to the rug and set up a new series of world weary lamenta- tions; but after she had sat there for some time and had experienced none of the positive symptoms of freezing to death she rose and sat down on the foot of the bed.
 'sThis damp, old bed always was 'nough to freeze anybody, and I guess it'll fetch me, she exclaimed, Eff any thing will. ,
 Presently, almost without her own consciousness, she sank down upon the bed, and then one of her nieces glided into the room and softly GOV cred her with quilt

 Bone meal is good for any crop, but is especially adapted for fruit trees of all kinds, grape vines and other perennial plants. It is not a very active fertil- izer and is not quickly exhausted. If very fine ground it is also excellent for a strawberry bed. ka
 Nitrate of soda is not recommended for orchards and vines, being very solu- ble and not enduring. Potash is very important constituent of fertilizer for fruit trees, vines and strawberries. A mixture may be made that will answer for all these plants, as follows:
 Bone four (fne), 1,20O pounds; kainit, 800 pounds. You can make somewhat cheaper mixture as follows: Acid phos- phate, 1000 pounds; cotton seed meal, 800 pounds; kainit, 800 pounds.
 For a long time it was thought that asparagus required large doses of salt, probably because it would endure heavy application without injury, being marine plant; but later experiments indicate that salt is no specific for aspar- agus, but serves to retain moisture. We would prefer to use the last described formula on asparagus. The kainit con- tains one-third salt
