An Old Phonograph.

A French correspondent writes that ac-
cording to proofs furnished by Monsieur
Louis Pauliat, senator, the monograph
must have been known in 1860. In that
year Cyrano de Bergerac. an author and
famous duelist, wrote "A Journey in the
Moon. He tells in this book of how his
guide in the wonderful journey, oil liged
to leave him for some moments, loaned
him two books, and Cyrano de Bergerac
took one which had cover like box.
He thus describes it: "At the opening
Of the box found, ! know not what,
in metal. full of little springs and inn
perceptible machines It is book, but
miraculous book, with neither leaves
nor characters; it is book to read
which eyes are useless, for one needs
only ears. When / wished to read, l
bound the book with all kinds Of little
nerves that found, then / turned the
needle on the chapter to which / wished
to listen. and heard. as from the lips of
human being, most remarkable facts
Of intense interest to a student Ac-
cording to NJ. Pauliat this is the descrip-
ton of a phonograph similar TO the one
invented by Mr. Edison. In any case,
IF 'tis not true, tits well hit upon.

the bedside Of an aged gentleman who
said he had swallowed his set of false
teeth and was threatened with suffoca.
ton The doctor found the patient very
much excited. His eyes were protrud.

and respiration laborious
On examining the throat a hard PRO-
tuberance was found ON the left of the
neck near the collar bone. Breathing
having become difficult and suffocation
being feared. it was decided, as sounding
proved TO be useless, TO make an incis-
ion in the neck. When this decision
was made known to the patient he ener-
getically requested that il be done at
once. He was placed under the infiu-
ence of chloroform and the iucision
made, but to the surprise OF every Que
present no foreign substance was found.
When this fact was made known DO
him after he came to, he suddenly COM
planned of pains in the region of the
stomach, which became more severe "a

animation early the following morning.

which the patient was reclining when
he fell asleep the night before. Upon
the teeth being shown to him the pain
in the stomach ceased and the patient
rapidly recovered.
He had fallen asleep on the night men,
toned while sitting on the sofa, and
waking up, missed the set of teeth. A
search for them was unsuccessful. aud
he supposed that he had swallowed
them This supposition was the cause
of all of his troubles. - Translated from

There is a curious effect wrought on
the hair and beard of men engaged in
the Martin White mine at Ward. The
ore is roasted, but no disagreeable per-
fumes arise from the heating process,
yet there is some unknown substance
that changes the hair, beard, and eye
brows as green as grass. The hair is not
injured, but retains its softness and gloss
It is probable that fumes Of the green
tint Of copper containedi in the ore change
the hair to that color.

Automatic Manners.

Society recognizes from time to time
many things, which, if seen and heard
by our ancestors, would have brought
CONSERVATION among its select.
But time changes minds as well as
manners, though even now when MAX
ing changes from one circle to another,
it often requires that adaptaoility which
could be said found in one who has au-
tomato manners. However. such radi-
cal changes not only appear in drawing
room repartee, street dress, etc., among
people, but in the conveniences and
luxuries afforded mankind. Railroad
travel is one instance. A few years ago,
comparatively, one had to consume
much valuable time in an uncomfortable
way to make what is now thought moth
ing of as nights journey in a sleeper.
The most modern equipment and
transportation facilities can be found on
the fast trains of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis Railway to Chicago, St. Louis, Hot
Springs, Kansas City, etc, Inquire of
any agent of the company, or G. M.
Pratt, General Ticket and Passenger
Agent, Minneapolis, Mimi.

Stanley's Phonographs.

When Explorer Stanley was married
to Dorothy Tenant the various vocal
and musical parts were duly recorded
on photographic cylinders. Ten years
hence, therefore, if Mrs. Stanley choos-
es to balk when her lord drives, he can
give the cylinder whirl and prove in
disputably that she solemly promised
to love, honor and obey. On the other
hand, if the explorer gets into the habit
of running around with the boys and
spending more time at the club than at
home, Mrs. Stanley can bring him up
with round turn of the sound record
er, which will remind him of the fact
that he promised to love and cherish.
And if the two will listen intently they
will hear remarks to the effect that the
st. Paul & Duluth is the best route to
take when travelling between Duluth
and the Twin Cities, making close con-
nections at first class terminals for all
important points. For circulars, time
tables or general information apply to

would have been worth IN cash about
S., OOO, 900.
The mode of preparing the fibre is as
follows:
"Sow one and one-half bushels of Bel
gian seed per acre and when the straw
begins to turn yellow and the foliage
within six inches of the ground is droop-
ing, pull or cut close to the ground at
once. At this stage the seed in the
bolls is changing to a dark green or
brownish tinge. Tie the straw in small
bundles and stand on end to winnow.
When quite hard and dry put in stack.
There Is larger and better yield of e.
bre when the straw is kept until the
year following it's growth. If the fibre
Is needed at once, the seed can be rip
pied and the straw stepped in soft wa
ter, that is, rain water; or, if this Is not
attainable, in pits of water in which veg
etable matter grows. and which has
been exposed to the SUMS rays for pc
riod of five or six weeks. The straw
should be protected from the earth at
the sides of the retting pits; place the
straw in layers until the pit is quite full !;
Stones or planks of wood with stol on
top to keep the straw entirely under
the water, are laid upon the top layer
of fax straw. If the temperature of the
water is 80 degrees Fahrenheit or up
wards, about Six days will be sufficient
to rot the straw. From the fifth day ex-
anime few straws at different parts
the pit several times daily, and when
the fibre pulls readily and entirely off
the woody core, it is time to remove
from the pits. Stand the sheayes on
end to dry; pull the band of tying on
each sheaf close to the top and spread
out the root ends 30 as to expose to sun
and wind. When perfectly dry stack
for few weeks. This improves or mel
lows or brings nature or soft silky
feeling to the fibre. 1t is now ready for
the scutching machine"
Practice and time are necessary to be-
come proficient in this branch of hus-
bandry. The farmers of the Northwest
have the intelligence, and experience
will soon enable them to produce as
good and fine fibre as is produced in
any other country. The best fibre is
that produced by hand, and the farm
ers of the Northwest could find profta-
BILE employment for the long winters
here by preparing one or more acres of
fax, as described above, and packing it
away to hand scutch during the winter.
Every family could earn from 500 to
$500 each season in this way. There
will be cash market in Minneapolis for
all the fibre the farmers can produce,
and it will pay them another year to SOW
their fax thick on rich old ground, see
that it is free from weeds, harvest it at
the right time, thresh it so as to save
the straw straight, and rett and scrutch
it themselves or sell the straw to the
fax mills.
The farmers of this state will soon be
raising the fibre in large amounts. The
starting of this new industry DIS but an
other example of what the Mckinley
bill will do for the Northwest.

FLAX FIBRE.

The starting of linen mill in Mime
apolis has opened new possibilities to
the farmers of Minnesota and Dakota.
The impression that fax cannot be
raised for seed and fibre both is wrong.
The fact is that Ireland is the only flax
fibre producing country in the world
where they do not save both the seed
and the fibre. There are two reasons
for this. First, the humidity of the at
mosphere prevents the seed from ma
turing until too late to get the fibre
from the straw the same year, and Sec
oud, the farmers as class are too poor
to wait, so that they pull the flax as
soon as it will do for fibre. The best f.
bre and the best and handsomest linen
in the world comes from Silesia, prov
ince Of Prussia, where they save the
seed and fibre both. The largest linen
mill in the world is in Jaradova, Rus.
STA, where they employ 1000 hands in
one mill, and make very fine linens.
The climate and soil in these countries
are identical with that of this section of
the Northwest. Within radius of 400
miles of Minneapolis there was raised
this last year over 100000 acres of flax,
all of which could have been worked
into fibre if it had been properly put in
and handled, and would have been
worth in cash to the farmers oyer &c.
100000 in addition to the seed. The
average in Minnesota last year was TO- 40
bushels, and brought the farmers about
81, 100000 cash. The fibre from the
straw, which was nearly all burned up,
