Climate and Morals.

The world is tolerably well mappsd
out as to diseases. The colored charts
show us where we may most probably
dwell with malaria, with consumption
or with general debility. We study,
also, the adaptability of plants to differ
ent climatic conditions. But our knowl-
edge of the relation of man to climate is
still far from scientifc-that is to say,
of the influence of climate upon charac-
ter and conduct. To come to a detail,
what, for instance, do we know of the
effect of climate upon veracity There
are portions of the earth's surface where
the inhabitants regard truth as luxury
seldom to be INDUCED in; in others the
mind seems rather inclined to truthful
ness.
Whether the difference is owing to
race or climate our observations do not
yet enable us to determine. There is a
popular notion that the habit of prevari-
cation goes along with warmth, or with
a debilitating atmosphere, and that cold
is a tonic, a sort of stimulant for truth
fulness, We indeed have in the phrase
1.-THE cold truth" a recognition of this.
We say that the northern latitudes nurse
the rugged virtue of veracity. Charles
Dudley Warner in Harper's.

Town Of Morris.

The warm weather for the past
week exceeds anything we have had
in Minnesota for number of years at
this season.
The early frost hurt the grass so
that the haying will not be carried on
to such an extent as would have been.
Most of our farmers are stacking the
greater part of their straw.
R. J. Hall returned home Thursday
evening from his trip through the
Dakotas. Mr.. III. says that the farm
ers through that region Of the country
are preparing to hold the larger part
of their wheat.
The grain is exceedingly clear from
foul seeds, such as wild buckwheat
and pigeon grass. We should judge
that the dry weather was clearing the
soil from it.
L. II. Wilson went to the cities Fri
day evening, on business.
G. G. Towner has nearly completed
his new house. It makes his farm
look 10 per cent. better.
The gang plow fever has struck our
farmers. The most of them have got
them or are going to get them.
A sewing bee never stings, but they
do good deal of buzzing.
The late crop of flax was hurt by
the frost to certain extent.
School in district No. commences
the 28th, with Miss Mary Bragg as

When the political caldron boils,
the scum quite naturally rises to the

Letter from Salt Lake.

Mrs. Helen A. Webber, in letter
dated Salt Lake, Sept. 13, 1891, says
We are more than pleased with Salt
Lake, lying so beautifully under 1.-The
shadow of the everlasting hills" and
so near the lake, where the bathing is
delightful beyond description; then,
too, the warm and hot springs are al
ways preferred by some to the salt
water.
This fall | wish it lay in my power
to ship you carload of fruit. APP
pies at forty cents bushel, lovely
peaches from Is cents upwards to
$3.50 Every variety of plums from
so cents to 80 cents per bushel, etc.
We were afraid this summer that
Salt Lake City was doomed, and it
seemed such pity. Our Democratic
friends joined hands with the Nor
mons and few Republicans blindly
withdrew from the Liberals, and for a
time things looked blue. But right
again prevailed and business is
already picking up. There are SO
many beautiful additions for home
buildings; among the prcttiest are
Lincoln Park, Arlington Heights and
Perkins Addition.
| wish an excursion of tho dear
friends in Morris could visit us here,
and who can tell what the years may
bring about?

A Fairy Tale.

A famous weodsman once boasted
that he could find his way through a
wilderness and return by the same path.
Being tested, he carried with him a
slender thread, which should serve as a
guide for the return trip. Reaching the
end of his journey, he lay down to rest.
While he rested came the genius of in
dustry and breathed upon his thread and
changed it to two shining ribbons of
steel. 1t was railroad. Thongs of
people whirled past him in luxurious
cars, and he read upon the train the
mystic legend: Wisconsin Central!"

THE LAND OF INVERTED ORDER.
Queer Freaks of Nature Seen in Aus
tralia and Vicinity.

Queer Freaks of Nature Seen in Aus
tralia and Vicinity.
In the following it is proposed to prove
that Australia can be termed "The Land
of Inverted Order" In the Antipodean
wilds of that new South Pacific repub-
lie everything has some remarkable
characteristic peculiarity. Instead of
the leaves having their fiat sides turned
to the ground they stand edgewise. The
opossum of America is the only species
of paunched animal known to the world
outside of Australia. On the Australian
continent there are at least 10 species
having that distinguishing popularity.
They have been arranged into five
tribes, according to the food they eat.
The root eaters (wombats), the fruit eat
ers (phalangers), the grass eaters (kan-
garoos). the insect eaters and the fish
eaters (native cats and rats). Of the
wombats there are four species, all of
which burrow in the ground.
Two other very curious animals are
found in Australia that are unknown in
any other part of the world. These are
the echidna and the ornithorhynchus.
This latter is a species of beast shaped
like beaver, but having web feet and
bill like duck. Then there is flying
mouse, about half the size of our COM
mon mouse and of a bright red color. 1t
has very long, furry tail, which is used
as a rudder and looks much like a feather
when fully expanded.
The trees are always in full leaf, but
shed their bark every year, which fact
alone would be sufficient to make the
Antipodean continent a wonderland.
The leaves of nearly all the trees are
highly aromatic, but the native flowers,
though of most brilliant tint, have no
fragrance whatever. In writing OF the
backward order of things in Australia,
Mr.. M. w. Ullathorne says:
Australia is the antipode of the en-
tire world. In that country a rising
barometer indicates rain, and falling
barometer fair weather. The swans are
black and the eagles white; the mole is
oviparous and has ducks beak; the
dogs have VOLTS head, fox's tail, and
never bark. They also have bird with
tongue like broom, and a fish which
has part of the body belonging to the
genus Kaia and part to the genus Squale.
Many winged serpents are found there
and fish with large feathery wings. The
emu is bird as large as an ostrich, but
instead of feathers has hair. One bird
has note like bell, another cries like
child, while third laughs as though
his sides would split.-St. Louis Re-
public.

That there was no larger attendance
at the county fair ON Wednesday and
Thursday of last week was undoubt-
edly owing to a great extent to the
fact that our farmers were too busily
engaged in threshing their magniti-
cent crop of wheat and other grain,
and this too accounts for there not be-
ing a larger display of grain and veg
etables, as we'll as horses and cattle.

advantage is that it places the load

WATER FOR STOCK.

Facts Proving That the Supply Should Bs
Absolutely Pure
Bulletin Is of the Iowa experiment
station in an article on pure water for
stock, gives two or three examples in
which the water being contaminated
by manure washings, dead animal and
vegetable matter, etc, all animals,
both cattle, horses, sheep and hogs
which drank it were attacked by dis
ease and died, while others in every
way similarly treated, except that they
received pure water, Were unaffected
though in daily contact with the sick
ones In other cases animals having
died of disease were hauled out into
swales, sloughs, etc These afterward
filled with water, from rains, of which
the stock drank and contracted the
same disease.
If the farmers could but realize the
loss which such careless, negligent
management occasions, they would
save themse Ives much expense. All
dead animals, regardless of the cause
their bodies may not only not contain
mate the surrounding air and water
but may fertilize the soil. And since
water is known to be q good medium
for the Transmission of disease germs,
. pure supply should be provided for
all domestic animals, and they should
be carefully kept from any that is inn
pure IAN ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure-"-Orange Judd
