Marvellous Endurance.

The vast amount OF labor performed
by the heart in keeping all portions OF
the body supplied with blood is not gen.
orally known. It beats 100000 times,
and forces the blood at the rate of 1913
miles day, which is 5000, OOO,O 0c
times and 5, $50, $3.50 miles in life time.
No wonder there are so many Heart Fail

Had ZEN, Rae,,

This is not fish story, nor is there
anything "fshy" about If. 1t is true in
every particular. On Wednesday. while
men were engaged in breaking new land
on the farm OF Mic Lambert, of this CITY.
on the Maine Prairie road, just this side
of the Pleasant Lake Forks, the pIows
ran into and through a snakes nest or
village, Immediately the ground
swarmed with the reptiles. Messrs Peter
Munsinger, Frank Bettenburg and SON
and Lambert's man Sand aud wife. who
were on the ground, at once began the
work of destruction and did not cease
until every snake had been killed, except
the considerable number that escaped
while the battleraged fercest. The dead
snakes were counted and found to num-
Der 511. There were ten different yarie-
ties, including carriers. prairie, green and
black snakes, etc. A few lizards. and,
strange to say, a number of frogs, in the
enjoyment of good health, and evidently
on the best of terms with the snakes,
were also found. The snakes were not
large, varying from six inches to two
feet.-[St. Cloud Times.

From had To Worse.

The ordinary treatment OF contagious
blood poisoning is to drive one poison
from the system by introducing another
The result, in most cases, has been that
which usually follows leap from the
frying-pan into the fire. To putit mildly,
mercurial and other mineral poison.ngs
have disadvantages which are hardly
less serious than contagious blood pois-
on. In either case the system is wrecked;
and yet thereis no reason why humanity
should continue to suffer. 1t is the office
of S. S. S. to cure contagious blood
poisoning. For that disease the med1-
cine is surely specific. And it is also
its office to cure mercurial and other min
eral poisoning. In short, S. S. S. is the
great blood purifier. 1t destroys the
germs of the contagious disease, and ex-
pels from the system all forms of mineral
poisoning. 1t restores health and
strength to the sufferer.

MCKINLEY BILL.

Speaker Reed is travelling in Europe,
and while in London the other day he was
interviewed on the subject OF protection,
and this is what he said for the benefit of
our British neighbours:
t.The Mckinley bill has been very ua-
sustly criticised. and / am satisfied that
the people of the United States, when
they come to understand its workings,
will acknowledge that it is most valu-
able measure, a measure intended to en-
courage both our foreign commerce and
cGr domestic industries. 1t will stimu-
late our foreign commerce by the large
number of articles on which the duties
have been reduced, or which have been
added to the free list 1t will stimulate
our domestic industries by reasons of the
reduction in the duties on raw material
and the increased duties On very few
articles of necessity, which have been
sargeiy imported but which we have
hitherto been unable to manufacture
proftably, ] think that with this sufh-
cent protectdos our manufacturers will
soon be able to establish these industries
on as firm footing as those which need
no increase in protection. Il may be
that the duties on carpets, silks, laces,
ehanpagpes and some other articles of
luxury haYe been advanced. But the
average household expenditure for these
yfll bear no comparison to the amounts
paid for those articles, WHICH by reason
of lower rate of dity on the usauufac-
tured article, or on the raw material,
can be bought for reduced prices.
i am very confident that the next few
years will be years OF great prosperity to
The United States, and tiat they will
roge to be favorable both in our doHes.

Missionary Convention.


The Woman's Foreign Missionary So
ciety convention that met in the Metho-
dist Episcopal church of this village,
May IL and 18th. was in some respects
a unique gathering. 1t was the first del
egated convention of the kind eyer held
in the state of Minnesota by the Metho-
dist church. Mrs. r. F. Catterson was
chosen as president and Mrs. c. ". Law
son as secretary of the convention. Mrs.
Catterson in beautiful and fitting words
welcomed the delegates to this gather
ing-Rev. J. B. Kingsley, presiding elder
of the Fergus Falls district appropri-
ately responded. During the sessions of
the convention papers or addresses were
given on" Woman's work in the Mission
airy Field" Systematic Christian City,
ing" Obligations of Christianity to
Heathendom." "Oppo, tunities," "Is
Christianity Failure?" and the Reflex
Influence of Missionary Work." The
program throughout, with rare excep-
tions. was very fine indeed. Mrs. J. A.
Norris ofthe Congregational church was
the only person from this village who
who gave a paper audit was very highly
complimented.
The feature of the convention was the
general meeting Tuesday evening, the
10Th inst. in Lincoln Memorial hall,
when Miss Sarah De Line, a returned
missionary from Bombay, India, adj
dressed the audience. Her vivid portray
al of life in Bombay, her intense earnest
ness and pathetic pleas for imprisoned
sisters-the native women ofthe Zenanas
of India, won all hearts. Miss De Lines
less formal addresses on Tuesday after
noon and Wednesday morning were
listened to with rapt attention.
One impressive event during the ses-
sions of this gathering was the presenta-
ton for Christian baptism by Rev. and
Mrs. c. W. Lawson of their infant daugh-
ter, Esther Louise. At the close OF the
baptismal service by vote of the conyen-
ton this little child was made life men,
Der of the Woman's Foreign Missionary
society.
Before adjournment district organi-
cation was affected and two of the Off
GERS elect came from the Sank Centre
Auxiliary, Mrs. catterson as one of the
vice-presidents and Mrs. c. w. Lawson
as corresponding secretary.
The convention has been profitable in
many ways. One immediate result was
the addition of twenty-five names to the
membership of the local auxiliary, max.
ing the present membership about fifty.
Several surrounding churches were rep.
resented by one or more delegates and
all these returned to them respective
societies with broader views and higher
motives in their masters cause.

PRESIDENT HARRISON is undoubtedly
the most versatile public speaker of
prominence in this country. He has
wonderful faculty of saying the right
thing. of saying it often and to all class
es of people. He is master, not only of
the ideas and the English in which to
clothe them, bat of the situation and its
demands. This is what one OF the party
who accompanied him upon his trans
continental trip, during which he made
40 speeches, sometimes as many as a
dozen in one day, says of him: "The fea-
ture of the trip that impressed me more
even than the popular enthusiasm, was
the remarkable oratorical ability of the
president. He made greater number of
frst-class speeches in month than many
high grade public men could think out
and deliver in lifetime. And his efforts
were not all pre-arranged and provided
for, some of the best things he said were
spontaneous. He would be resting in
his car when our train would pull up at
a water tank-we used good deal OF
water, and a couple of thousand people
would surround the train and demand
speech. They knew from the railroad
authorities that we were going to stop
there, so they put up a job on the presi-
dent. To such unexpected audiences the
presidents remarks were extremely
happy"
