uabIts Of an Ola Painter.

Sidney Cooper, a famous and favorite
English painter and R. A., now 81 years
young, as the Autocrat would say, de-
votes five or six hours day to painting,
and possesses excellent health and unim-
panied eyesight. He rises at and works
till 8, when he breakfasts on oatmeal
porridge, bread and fresh milk At 10
he lays down his brush for luncheon, and
at 8 cleans his palette for the day, and
goes to walk. At 8 he dimes, and at 10
he goes to bed, and he believes that every
man who lives with equal abstemious-
ness, relinquishing tea and coffee, and
taking little wine,. may do his work as
well, and bear his burden Of years as
lightly on the verge Of 90 as it his own
hanny fortune 70 do. -Harper's Bazar.

Itwould seem that everybody ought
to know the value Of a remedy SO easily
obtained as water. Yet. says writer
in the Woman's Magazine, though there
is no remedy of such general applica-
ton and none so easily obtained as
water, nine persons out Of ten will pass
by it in an emergency to seek for some
thing OF less efficacy. There are but
few cases of illness where water should
not occupy the highest place as rene
dial agent. A strip Of flannel or nap

Group will usually bring relief in ten
minutes. A towel folded several times,
dipped in hot water. Wrung out and
then applied over the seat OF pain IN the

afford prompt relief. This treatment IN

cases that have resisted other treatment

adopted in hospitals. Spralned ankle

AS an emetic, land hot water taken freely
half all hour before bed time, is the best
of cathartics in case of constipation,
while it has a most soothing effect on
the stomach and bowels.
In this connection it is Interesting to
know that a distinguished children's
doctor believes, from his practice, that
infants generally, whether brought ND
at the breast or arti6cially, are not sup
piled with sufficient water, the fluid
portion of their food being quickly
taken up, and leaving the solid too thick
to be easily digested. In warm,
dry weather. healthy babies will take
water every hour with advantage,
and their frequent fretfulness and rise
of temper are often due TO their not
having it. A free supply Of water ana

have been found at the nursery to be a
most effectual check in cases OF lncip-

ALL ARE swINDLERs.
Some of the Means to Get Money
From Fools.

From Fools.
New York Tribune
Gold and silver mine swindlers are
"too numerous to mention" The ap-
pearance of ''miner'' on the street is
daily occurrence. His broad, nu
trimmed hat and bluff manners indicate
that he is genuine article. He has
rich claim, but has no capital to work
it. Therefore, he will sell a half inter-
est. He shows q metal taken from the
claim. If ali investigation is made,
gold or silver, as the case may be, will
be found on the claim in large Quantl-
ties. The claim, 1t may pc said, without
prolonging the story, has been sailed
with ore from some other place where
it really exists.
Oil wells, too, can be bought in as
large numbers as may be desired IN the
street" They are, as a rule, "dry
holes," or wells that when sunk failed
to produce the expected oil. The prof.
ector ran out of cash and wants money
to continue the drilling. Like the miner,
weston can go ahead and drill if he
wants to. To prevent prosecution, the
protector sells an interest in the land.
and not guarantee to produce oil.
A great ''inter-ocean waterway" was
put on the market not long ago. TIE
protector said it was canal which
afforded importation to the products o.
Florida to the natural navigable
waters. BY extension it could
be made highway between the Atlan-
tic ocean and the Gull OF Mexico. Pos
sibly it could, but it would take more
than the surplus in the treasury OF the
United States to do it. The great in
ter-oceanie highway was one of those
shallow trenches dug through the bog
on the outskirts of the dismal swamp
to float cypress and pine trees.

Two small boys who gave their names as
Willie Carl and Bert Schneider were found
in a locked freight car in the railroad yards
last evening in an almost famished conf
dltion. They had secreted themselves in
the car with the intention of going to
Duluth the car being afterwards cut out and
left behind The lads, whose parents reside
on the West Side, were in the car twenty
four hours without food or drink.
Eddy Pope, the boy whose hand was man

last Tuesday is in a critical condition at the
residence of his parents on Annapolis street.
Three fingers of the right hand were ampu-
tated at the time of the accident, and it was
thought that the rest of the hand could be
saved. Inflammation has set in to such an
extent that it is feared the arm will have to
be taken off at the elbow joint. DR., Siegler Is
in charge af the case.

In the matter Of authentic records for
roping with the lariat, none probably
exist. One hundred and sixteen feet
has been claimed for California
man now travelling with Buffalo
Bill's show. while ninety-four feet has
been published for a Billings (Mont,)
man. but both of these records are pre-
posterous. The average cOw-puncher
from Texas to Montana uses a rope
which rarely reaches fifty feet, and
from twelve to twenty feet must he de-

California loop exceeds this b nearly
five feet.
In catching a wild horse or steer, after
the moose is over the animals neck OF
legs the end of the rope is swiftly
wrapped around the horn of the saddle,
the horse being braced back to resist
the shock, which in most cases either
snaps the rope or sends the captive all
in a heap. What the possibilities of
roping to catch are is hard to say. No
doubt with a horse at full gallOp down
hill, the wind favorable and a good long
rope, an expert may reach 100 feet. but
such cases are few and far between, and
most good ropers feel extremely pleased
when they can reach out the full length
of their fOrty-five foot rope and catch.

By what legal process Erie Olsen will
contest the election of E. &. Burgess IS

city attorney is incorrect, that does not
help Olsen. Can he figure out that of the
votes cast east of WabaSha he has re-
ceiyed plurality? Is it not more like
ly. in any event. hat Judge Nelson, who
would be the beneficiary, is behind the
move, with intent to hold on to his
office, with Olsen as his constable?
Before the atty makes any more ex-
penditures OF newbridges would it not
be well TO enlarge Wabasha street
bridge? The proposition of the city
railway company to run an electric line
over this bridge should force the coun-
ell 10 do something. The wagon way of
the bridge, from the island to the West
side, is merely seventeen feet. 1t will
be impossible. therefore, unless the
bridge is enlarged to the size Of its east
ern portion, for teams TO use it while
the electric trains are crossing. Such
an arrangement would work much in
convenience, while the danger attend
ing ii would be considerable. An eX-
pendlture of $4,000, as proposed by the
city engineer, ought to be easily agreed
to by the city council. The aldermen
would be heartily supported in such ac-
ton by the taxpayers generally.

Carl JudsOn passed through the city

manager of the Interstate fair to be
held in that city this coming fall. The
fair association is composed of over one
hundred of the leading business men of
the city and no expense will be spared
to make it a great success. Mr.. JudsOn
has already made one trip East to Balti-
more in the interests OF the project and
declares that he secured the cream of
the attractions to be had in that quarter.
1t is very likely that the Interstate far
will be held just before the Minnesota

promises that the best of the attractions
there shall be brought to Hamline. The
