Startling Scarf pins.

A member of one of the uptown clubs
caused something Of sensation in the
smoking room Of his club few nights
ago. AS he joined a group Of gentlemen
1t was noticed that he wore unique pin
in his scarf. 1t was a large dogs head
made of oxidized silver. Its eyes were
tiny diamonds and its mouth was red
enamel. While the wearer's friends
were looking at the pin and commenting
upon it the red mouth Of the silver dog
opened and a succession Of sharp barks
issued therefrom The effect was start
ling at first, but as the barking contin-
ned several members Of the club pressed
about the owner of the pin, curious to
examine "the new trick"
The wearer of the decoration, after
enjoying the sensation that he had Gre
ated for while, unbuttoned his waist
coat and disclosed long rubber tube
attached to the pin ON the under side of
the scarf. The tube extended down into
one of the pockets Of the gentleman's
trousers, terminating in rubber bulb.
BY repeatedly pinching this bulb the
wearer of the pin was able to cause the
sounds to issue from the dogs mouth.
These trick pins are among the novelties
on the counters of jewelry and haber-
dashery establishments There are yari-
GUS designs, such as dogs heads, cats
heads, crying babies, bicycles with re-
volving wheels and bugles that blow

by far the biggest thing yet unearthed.
The site of Hall & Kimbarks big iron
warehouse was at this point at the time
of the great fire of 1871, and their i'm

great lump, which sank and imbedded
itself into the earth too deep for dis
covery in ordinary building operations.
But when the foundations for this great

Horses That Never Ought to BE Clipped.
There is a class of horses that never
ought to be clipped. excepting when
some skin disease or other disordered
condition demands it. This applies to
hack and cab horses thatdaily stand idle
in exposed streets awaiting orders, often
for an hour or two at time. 1t applies
also to animals that stand idle great
deal in cold stables, heavy and slow
working horses, brood mares, especially
if well advanced, and those that perspire
easily, not from the superabundant coat,
but from some obscure disease, some de-
biIitated or perhaps hidebound condi-
ton, where the surroundings, age and
value of the animal would make it mad
visable.
The same class Of reasons apply to the
clipping Of the legs. Judgment must
be used in this also. When the climate
is wet and the roads muddy it is certain
ly an advantage to keep the hair from
the ankles down short, as it dries more
readily, and the mud and dirt are more
easily removed. lessening materially the
liability to irritation of the skin at the
extremities. es.-Horse Breeder.

A Strange wager in vienna.

A curious wager is at present occupy
ing the attention of such widely sepa-
rated classes as our young noblemen and
the Association of Hotel and Restaurant
Walters in Vienna. Several Of the
younger seions Of the highest Austrian
aristocracy, who were accustomed to
dine in an old hotel OF high lepute in the
Karnthner strassc, took exception to the
practice Of the walters, most Of whom
have seen twenty or thirty years serv-
ice, in dressing their mnstaches in just
the same fashion rs the noble swells'
they had to serve. One of the high born
customers accordingly laid a wager with
some Of his friends, which was immedi-
ately ace spted, that within given time
the Objectionable adornment should dis
appear from the upper lips of the walters
in all the fashionable hotels and restau-
rants in Vienna, otherwise the proposer
himself was to shave off his own cmbel-
ishment for given period
In order-to effect his purpose the latter
commenced by trying to persuade the
hotel keeper in the Karnthner strasse to
forbid all his servants wearing mus
taches ON penalty of losing his aristo-
cratic customers. In this case he succeed
ed, but the walters, who were mostly
married men, one after another gave
notice to leave their places. They were
at once replaced by younger men, who
for consideration submitted to the inn
posed humiliation. The same thing hap
pened in number of other hotels and
restaurants, and the wager was nearly
won by the layer when the proprietor OF
the Hotel Imperial, the first hotel in VI
emma, fatty refused to comply with the
whim of the Vienna jeunesse doree,
whom he told outright that if they de-
serted his house he should readily find
better customers.
The case was also taken up, ''as mat
ter Of right and honor" by the Associa-
ton Of Walters, which threatened to ex-
pei from the society any member degrad-
ing himself by humoring aristocratic
caprice in this matter. Thus the matter
stands at the present moment. The bet
appears likely to be lost, and then will
come the triumph of the walters, who
expect soon to have the satisfaction Of
seeing their would be dictator instead Of
themselves going about,with shaven Lip.

Tulips for the Holland Dinner.

The regular dinner of the Holland So
ciety viii take place this year at the
Lenox Lyceum. Already the Dutch ma
tional flower has been set growing for
the occasion; 1850 tulips will be placed
upon the table, and these have to be
forced in hothouses. Real Dutch pipes,
with handles twisted around into cir
Gle, have been ordered from Gouda, in
Holland. At the dinner of last year,
which was held in the main hall of the
Equitable building, there were not ac-
rcmmodations for half of those who
wanted tickets, SO this year the dinner
committee have engaged the Lyceum,
and hope that it viii not be overcrowded.

FARM, FIELD, GARDEN.
TOPICS OF INTEREST TO COUNTRY
AND SUBURBAN READERS.

Reasons Given by American CuItivator
for the Continued Popularity of Wheat
as Farm Crop-wheat Growing as a
Part OF Successful Rotation.
Wherever wheat can be successfully
grown it is certain to be an important
farm crop. The past year the average
both for spring and winter wheat re-
manned about the same, but bad seasons
diminished the crop. There is no sign
anywhere of the abandonment Of wheat
growing in any locality where it has
heretofore been successful, but rather Of
more general attention to this crop. The
reason for this continued popularity Of
wheat is that its cultivation admirably
supplements other crops in the relations
usually adopted. No other grain gives
as good seeding as winter wheat, and
with it can be sown not only the clovers
which succeed only in spring, but also
timothy and other grasses which do best
when sown in the fall AS a seeding
lasts two, three or four years, the i'm
portance Of having good stand from
the first can hardly be overestimated.
Where the clover or grass seeding is
good weeds have no chance to grow.
This often makes a great difference in
cultivation Of hoed crops when the field
thus well seeded comes to be plowed
again. The better the sod the more fer
tility has accumulated, and the fewer
weeds there will be to fight.
Growing winter wheat has further
advantage for large farmers in the fact
that it enables them to get a portion Of
their acreage out Of the way the previous
season so that nothing need be done to
it except to harvest the crop. BY de-
voting the bulk of manures to the spring
hoed crops, corn and potatoes, the farmer
can set off each year one-fifth or one
sixth of his land to wheat, doing the
work when he and his teams would
otherwise be idle. He can thus grow as
large spring crops as if he had devoted
the whole of his farm to them. Wheat
can be as well fertilized with CONNER
cial and mineral manures as with those
from the stable. If, whenever wheat is
sown, the land is seeded with clover
the soil viii continue to improve while
the stable manure is applied to crops
that pay better while they are less favor
able for maintaining soil fertility.
So far as possible wheat farmers should
sell only the -four of the wheat they
grow. AS rule they generally sell
wheat as grain, but they can easily
buy again as much wheat bran and fine
middlings as the grain would make and
feed it out to their stock. Doing thus
wheat will not be found exhaustive to
the soil, and when clover is always sown
with it the two combined may be fairly
considered beneficial to soil fertility.

NEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The board of trustees of the Presby-
terrain church held meeting Monday
night to consider the construction OF
the proposed new church. The vari-
Gus committees to solicit subscriptions
presented very gratifying reports.
The plans call for building which
completed will cost $4,000. The
trustees have concluded that no steps
will be taken toward the erection of a
new building until not less than $780,
600 has been raised. At Monday nights
meeting it was reported that the sum
of $1S, 800 has been subscribed. The
committees were directed to continue
their efforts for another week, when
another meeting will be held. With
so very small margin there should
be no reasonable doubt that the bal
ance will be secured. Therefore there
is good ground for confidence that the
new church will be constructed this
year. The site selected is that occu-
pied by the present church. The plans
were prepared last year and follow the
general design of the best churches
recently erected in large cities. 1t

HOME JOTTINSS.
FORMED A COMPREHENSIVE.

Mr.. H. Ray Howard has purchased
a half interest in the wagon and car
riage factory with H. P. Jensen, and
the firm will hereafter be known as
Jensen & Howard. Mr.. Howard is q
son of ex-Dairy Commissioner III. G.
Howard, and has large number OF
friends in the city who will be pleased
to welcome him into MankatO'S bust.
ness circles. He was for number OF
years cashier of the Lake Crystal
bank, and more recently held posi-
ton under the Dairy Commission.
The business habits thus formed, to-
gether with his genial and accommo-
dating manners, his integrity and en-
terprise, well fit him for any business.
Mankato has need of all the young
men of Mr.. Towards standing and
character that can be induced to To-
cate here.
The new firm will continue the
lines of the business heretofore car
ried on, and will doubtless give the
same excellent satisfaction to patrons
as in the past. No better goods are
manufactured anywhere than have
been turned out by Mr.. Jensen. Here
is success to the new firm.

OF INTEREST TO LOCAL FISHER
MEN.

The bill regulating fishing in Mad
ison, Washington and Jefferson Lakes
has passed both branches of the legis-
lature and is now doubtless law.
Senator Barr has furnished the pro-
visions of the bill to P. w. Pitcher,
at the latter's request, and they are
as follows:
FIRST. No fishing in those lakes
| is permitted between Dec. 1st and
April 1st following in each year.
SECOND. No fishing permitted at
any time save with hook and line.
THIRD. Penalty for violation S.
| fine for each fish unlawfully taken
and costs Of the prosecution. ViOlater
to be committed to jail until fine is
paid, but the Imprisonment not to
exceed one month in any case.
FOURTH. Sheriffs, deputy sheriffs,
cOnstables, marshalls and police Off
GERS in Blue Earth and LeSueur coun-
ties are made fish wardenS within
their respective jurisdictions and re-
Quired to make complaint and prose-
cute when knowledge of violation is
known to them or brought to their
notice.
FIFTH. Failure by such officers to
comply with the law is a malfeaSance
in office and disqualifies the offending
officer on conviction from holding his
office for the remainder of the term
for which he was elected.
SIXTH. All prosecutions under the
law must be commenced within sixty
days from time offence is committed
and must be before any justice of the
peace in the county in which offense
is committed.
SEVENTH All fines under this act
are paid into the county treasury OF
the county where the Offense occurs,
for use of the common schools of the
county.
The act applies to Lakes Washing
ton, Jefferson and Madison and all
their outlets and inlets within the
two counties.
This is a wise bill, and an effort will
be made to see that the officers en-
force it. Much of the popularity
which the state has obtained has been
due to the splendid fishing which the
lakes have afforded. Many of these
lakes, including those of our own
county have been more or less depict
ed of their finny treasures by an in
discriminate destruction of fish in
winter, and by spearing during the
spawning season in the spring. The
spearing is especially destructive Of
fish, and the enforcement of the law
against it will aid more than anything
else in preserving them.

AN INTERESTING LEGAL CONTEST

A hardfought contest over the pro-
perty left by the late Henry Richard
son is going on in the Probate office,
and may consume the remainder of
the week. The property involved
amounts to about $4,000, portion of
which is money, and the balance real
estate. Richardson was unmarried,
and died about eighteen months ago
at the home of Joseph Hewson, in
Pleasant Mound, without leaving a
will. He was fifty-six years of age,
and was soldier in the war of the
Rebellion. For thirty-five years he
was lost to his family, who supposed
him dead, until they finally heard au-
thoritatively that such was the case.
During the last eleven years of his
life he resided with the family of Mr..
Hewson, and was so Sickly as to re-
quire much doctoring and nursing.
There was an oral agreement or I'M
Outstanding between them that Mr..
Hewson was to receive just compen-
sation out of the estate when Richard
son should die. When that event did
occur, it was discovered that Richard
son left no will. Mr.. Hewson put in
claim for about $500 for board and
nursing.
In the meantime heirs without num-
Der have shown up, coming from plac-
es as widely separated as the Sand
witch Islands and the Dominion of
Canada. These include brothers and
sisters and other collateral relatives.
Several of these are~now in the city.
They are willing to allow something
to Mr.. Hewson, but much less than he
claims. Judge Torrey permits the
heirs to contest Mr.. Hewson'S claim,
and afterwards to prove their heir
ship. A large number of witnesses
have been produced. Attorneys Buck,
Hughes and Mead appear for the
heirs, B. D. Smith for Mr.. Woodman,
the administrator, and Pau & Young
for Mr.. Hewson. J. L. Washbnrn is
the attorney for the administrator,
but not, being able to be here Mr..
Smith takes his place.

ANOTHER COLLEGE FOR MANKATO

Mr.. G. S. Paine, business manager
of the University of Commerce and
Finance, of Minneapolis, arrived in
the city yesterday to arrange for the
opening of branch collegehere. The
only thing that he requires from our
citizens is guarantee of thirty schol-
arships. We shall have more to say
on his plan later. We quote the fol-
lowing from the Saltwater Gazette:
Mr.. @. S. Paine left this morning
for Mankato, to look the city over
with view to locating a branch OF
the chain of Northwestern business
colleges there. Mr.. Paine is a hustler,
and it is to his eXertions that our city
is indebted for as good business col
lege as any in the Northwest. We
bespeak for him the courtesy of the
residents of MankatO.
