Shakespeare Sonnets,

Says literary man Of some note: 1T
took me a long time to appreciate the
beauties of Shakespeare's sonnets. On
the first reading I found little in them
to attract, but on the advice of friend
I kept on reading them. After score
Of readings I began to zee new mean
ings, and soon T became fascinated. 1
procured a small vest pocket edition
and carried it with me wherever went,
reading the sonnets in the street cars or
wherever l happened to have few
minutes leisure. They are really won
derful.
''Some of them have read hundreds
Of times, and have made them my own
80 far as memory can appropriate The
thoughts of another. Now I can under
stand the enthusiasm Of my friend, who
says that if he had to give up either
Shakespeare's sonnets or Shakespeare's
plays, it would be the plays that would
have to go. can think Of no literature
in so small a compass that so we'll re-
pays reading and studying."-New York

Tricks of Artists.

A French paper says that for two
months Of the year the chief business Of
the two thousand and odd exhibitors at
the Salon is to attract the attention of
visitors to their own pictures Some of
the hodges which have been found
useful for the purpose, it seems, are
highly ingenious. The plan found most
efectual, and therefore most commonly
employed, is the Yankee Amateur
Dodge" It consists of employing two
or three agents, dressed in an eccentric
fashion, to walk backward and forward
with a mysterious air. The public is
greatly awed by their appearance, and
reports are soon circulated that the pic
ture will be sold for it's weight in gold.
Another highly recommended plan is
to hire the best looking model intro
duced into the picture to walk back
ward and forward in front Of the can
vas. The identity is soon discovered,
and great sensation is the consequence.
A few years ago painter found out a
still more original plan. He placed some
soft, resinous substance, which would
grow soft with warmth, in front Of his
own picture. The unfortunate person
who happened to stop for few minutes
would find himself fixed to the spot for
some time. Our authority thinks this
last method the most businesslike and
effectual -.-.-...

HALvERsoN, the poor Scandina-
Wan who was murdered at Hen
ming on the 4th Of July, is referred
to by G. g. Greely, a leading AL
lance man of Otter Tail county, in
the following choice language:
He was a Swede, just six months from
the old country perfectly fit material
to help make up an American mob. He
had no papers, but said he was going
to arrest Brandberg for knocking a
man down. Then Brandberg swung a
free American club and unintentionally
took the poor ignorant DEVILS life.
That staunch Republican journal,
the Battle Lake Revieao, takes the
unfeeling brute, Greeley, to task
for making use of such insulting
language-insulting to the whole
Scandinavian race. The probabili-
ties are that the murdered Halver-
son was a far better citizen than
the heartless demagogue, Greeley.

A New Railroad Joint.

A piece of metal, weighing about forty
pounds, that looked like a nickel plated
section Of a railroad track, has been ex-
hibited in Pittsburg. It is a model of
the Roulson railroad joint. The patent
joint consists of three pieces, solid
heavy bottom plate and two sides plated
with Jugs or fanges fitting into slots in
the plate and locking under the projec.
tions Of the T rail. It is claimed to be
perfect self locking joint, and for all
temporary occasions is safe enough, but
when put in permanently there are two
bolts passing through the rails and the
side plates. @ -.
The joint is expected to take the place
Of the splice bars in use on most Of the
roads at present. It is claimed for the
new joint that it not only makes the rail
80 per cent. stronger at the joint than
at any other place, but also that it will
prove cheaper than the old splice, as
there is less metal used in pieces The
splice bars are made Of iron, but the new
joints are of soft steel.-New York Tele-

A FLlRTATIoN.

I've been flirting today with q baby
In the window right over the way,
And the neighbors are gossiping may be;
But don't core q bit what they say.
He's dear little curly dashed fellow,
With eyes that are laughing and sweet;
His hair was like grain, golden yellow,
He'd blue shoes-for he showed mo his feet,
He glanced at me, pleasantly smiling,
AS though saying, II wish you'd remain.n
Then he tapped on the window beguiling
And flattened his nose 'gainst the pane.
He threw me kiss for greeting,
He showed me the lace on his dress;
But, ahl why are moments so feeting7
The time came for luncheon, guess,
Then waved him goodby-oh, the saddest.
And smiled to him over the way,
And he looked, Of all babies, the maddest.
When the nurse came and took him away.
But sometimes he will peek thro' the curtain
And hold the lace edges apart,
So III watch every day, for I'm certain
That baby has broken my heartl

Hon. D. S. HALL, chairman Of
the Chippewa Ind ian commission,
has been to Mile Laos lake and
discovered that most of the trouble
On the so-called reservation is the
result Of whiskey sold to the In
dians. That is what the UNION
has always claimed. There are
parties in the towns surrounding
the reservation that make a bust
ness of furnishing the Indians with
whiskey, and these parties have
always strenuously opposed the
removal of the Indians from Mile
Laos to White Earth. The In
dams never betray the wholesale
whiskey-venders. Mr.. Hall is de-
cidedly Of the opinion that it would
be for the best interests of the In
dians to remove them to White
Earth.

What is Worsted?

"a woolen yarn is soft and fluffy, while
worsted yarn is hard and firm, possess
ing much greater tensile strength. In
the woollen yarn the fibers are tangled
and crossed, and drawing is avoided as
much as possible in preparing the raw
material for spinning, SO as to leave the
natural curvature Of the fibers undis-
turbed and afford the greatest freedom
Of action to the felting and quality Of
the wool. In worsted yarns the object
is to obliterate the felting quality and to
secure elongation and parallel arrange
ment Of the fbers
In the early days Of the manufacture
the best results were only attainable in
worsted yarns from long fbered fleece.
The English woods are commonly called
combing woods for this reason, and it
was the possession Of this fleece Of an
unrivaled quality which made England
the birthplace of the worsted manufac-
ture, and has kept it at the front in this
process.
One Of the results of improved ma
chinery has been to remove any distinc-
ton between woolens and worsteds
based upon the difference between the
woods employed in the two processes.
Short wool Of merino blood can now be
combed as successfully as the longer
staple. The processes of treatment,
however, continue to differ radically.
This difference is primarily created by
the introduction Of the combing ma
chine, an instrument unknown to the
wool manufacture proper.-S. N. D.

Birds Are Like Human Beings.

Canaries, like human beings, vary
very much in character, some cocks be.
ing SO Indifferent and idle that they will
let the hen do all the work Of building
and rearing, while they themselves sit
and plume their feathers Others,
again, are perfect gentlemen in their
manners, waiting on the hen with a
quiet courtesy, and seeing that all she
requires is at once brought to her.
Again, the hens vary in disposition,
some hens behaving in quiet, modest
way, attending to their young ones with
regularity, while others arc in con-
slant state Of chatter with their hus-
bands, pecking and arguing with them
every time they go near. Thus we see
that these little birds have their tiffs
and domestic quarrels, not unlike our
selves. Chambers journal.

The Democratic St. Paul Globe
does not entertain an exalted opin-
ion of the defunct legislature. This
is not to be wondered at. One
dose of the Penneys, Longs and
Trips is enough. There were
some good men in the last legisla-
ture, and they were not confined
to any particular party, although
we are honestly of the opinion that
the Republicans can claim a big
majority of them. We agree with
the Democratic St. Paul Globe that
it would be better far that, Mime
sofa should not be represented at
the worlds fair than an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature. The Globe
pertinently remarks.
But suppose an extra session should
be called with this object in view
would there be anything to prevent it's
continuing it's deliberations, even after
this subject had been disposed Of?
Might it not once more take up the
dreadful round of parliamentary dis
cussion, and begin anew it's unintelli-
gent meddling with the delicate bust
ness interests of the State? The posi-
bility of this is too alarming to permit
the further consideration of the plan at
all. The stars in their courses fought
for this last winter; and,
in spite of folly's prayers and dema-
gogy's fury, ninety days and ninety
nights of exposure to disaster and ship
wreck were weathered without a
broken spar Or a rent in the sail. But
no sane man would have the State en-
bark on such a journey again. It would
be tempting fate and playing with fire
to allow the incompetent and clumsy
another saturnalia of lawmaking such
as they enjoyed a few months ago.
Better far that Minnesota should not
be represented at the worlds fair at all
than that we should have an extra ses-
sion of the legislature.

Ed. UNION: The Minnesota's
Worlds Fair commissioners are
over anxious to raise an additional
100000 or so. A convention has
been called for that purpose, to
convene at St. Paul, August 18th,
1891. Why, and for what reason
is it called now, when not a far
mer is able to attend? I have
been honored with an appointment
to said convention and would have
willingly and faithfully served as
a delegate for Isanti county. But
what will it benefit Mile Laos or
lsanti county, directly OF indirectly,
if there is, or is not, a Worlds
Fair? [ do not think that any
sensible thinking farmer would 90
to vote an additional tax burden
upon his S shoulders. Minnesota is
sufficiently known all over the
world for it's wonderful and last
ing resources without heaping one
or two hundred thousand dollars
unnecessary tax upon the farmers
for the benefit of the Twin Cities
manufacturing Industries, or per-
haps the Hon. Farmer Furlong
and his constituents. / think the
$50, 900 extra expense Of the re-
form legislature Of last winter,
and the additional $4,000 COW,
that went dry on wheat screenings
at Duluth, is amply sufficient for
the present. To my mind it ap-
pears put up job to call an extra
session of the Legislature. The
political gods of the combine are
evidently aware that they are on
their last legs therefore have de-
termined to force an extra session.
