LIFE IN URUGUAY.

Peasants Who Dwell In I.IttIe Mud Huts,
Comfortlras and Rheumatic.
EXCURSIONS across the territory OF
ruEuay reveal nothing of very great
interest 10 the tourist. writes Theodore
'hld i'll llarper's. The landscape in
parts Is pretty; some finely situated cs-
tanclaS are tn bc seen along the banks
OF the Uruguay; the vicinity of the Rio
Negro, too, is especially interesting and
characteristic of the fertile parts of the
territory, which present q similar com
btnation of water, wood and rolling
prairie. but, after all, one soon wcaries
"t looking Mt the same kind u view
hour after hour, league after League
and province after province, The fences
OF posts and wire are varied sometimes
by fences of alocs and cactus: the
eucalyptus. the poplar and other trees
are also planted TO form fences rs in
Chilli; the roads, where one secs long
teams OF oxen toilinE along with huge
wagons, are rs terrible as those OF the
Argentine: the prairicS are dotted with
innumrrablc herds of cattle and horses;
occasionally You see two or three
peasants wearing brown ponchoS rid

Mt long intervals you See one or two
ranches, or hutS, where the peasants

MUSIC IN THE RIVER.
In OIdcn Times This Phenomenon Would
Ilnvc Been Thought Supernatural.
1t is pretty generally known that in
the PnScaGnula river, near Scranton,
Miss. says the Philadelphia Inquirer,
strange sounds are frequently heard as
of Il musical instrument played at dis
! lance, under water. lIOating parties
| are often startled ut the diStinctncSS of
this music. They lilicn it tn the sounds
| produced by the vibration of musical
glasses or of harp strings The sound
rises and falls aS if waited by the wind,
and is locally known rs the 'mystcrious
music" The origin of the sound is gem
orally uSrribrd To a movement of sand
at the bottom Of the river, although
there is no evidence offered that the
sand does move or any reason given why
it should move. The explanation doubt
less rests upon the fact that such pho
nomcnOn rs singing or barking sand is
known To exist in several parts of the
world. 1t is not likely that wet sand
would produce the sounds mentioned.
1t is more probable that fishes make
these noises, for fish can sing. very
L. ely, too. II seems rather funny to
speak of singing fishes, but many of

crS get their name from the noise they
make. liluclish protest Indignantly

but thcS" are not such sounds as consti-
tutc the music of the fishes.

"Thcrc goes mysterious character"

his name or business. He smiles little,
yet is pleasant in his manner. and hc
talks seldom. al would like To know
something about him." continued Mr.
Wells. "llc has been coming intp the
hotel mt certain hour every day for the
last few years to look over the register.
His general salutation is Good morn

anything else. During all this time he
has asked To see but one man. DO You
wonder that we often speculate about
his business and name? JIc is worse

SEVEN DISTRICT

When the New Craig Bill Be-

Tables Showing the Population Of the
Counties in the Districts and
the Total Vote.

One OF the most important pieces Of legis-
lation which has been accomplished by the
present legislature is the redistricting Of the
state into congressional district, to conform
to the act of congress by which Minnesota
is to have seven instead Of five congressman.
This bill has not yet become law, but its
form has been agreed upon and il will prob
ably be passed without dissenting vote.
The basis Of the bill is the population ac-
cording 10 the census of 1890. The accom-
panying map gives clear idea of the dis
tricts as they will be under the new regime.
There is no change in the First district ex-
cept that Waseca county is added to it.
The Second district has Chippewa county
added, but loses Waseca, Sibley and lie
Sueur counties. The Third district loses
Chippewa, Kandiyohi and Swift counties
and has added lie Sueur and Sibley. The
identity of the Fourth and Fifth districts
is lost entirely. Hennepin county is put
into district by ITSELF Ramsey has added
to it Washington, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec,

district. The irregular appearance of the

AN English philosopher has disco ver-
ed that III the little isle the average
stature OF men is decreasing, while
that Of women is on the increase.
The reason for this phenomenon is at
tributed to the fact that the male use
tobacco in early youth, thus stunning
their growth, while the females, who
are not so generally addicted to the
habit, escape it's evil effects. This
statement should be hailed with iov
by the fair sex. AS most men would
sooner 60 without a. wife than without
their tobacco, the tendency herein
discovered will continue until men
will be mere puppets, playthings and
pets OF the opposite sex. When O.
woman tells you she likes tobacco
smoke, ETC., ETC., look out for her. She
has been reading the views of this
English philosopher, and is,doing her
best to aid in the physical a.ld mental
degeneration OF man.

When the time came for joining hands,
