MONTHLY FAIRS.

Wherever given a vigorous and persist
ent trial by rural towns and villages
monthly cattle fairs have proved bene-
fcient alike to farmer and business man.
At Carver in this state, says l.. j. Gale,
the visiting merchant, they have been
h,ld continuously for twenty-five years
or more, and the interest in them harnot
tagged. Not only do they bring IN
large crowd of farmers; but buyers from
the great markets are prcsentin numbers
competing for the fat cattle, and other
products of the farm which are offered.
A cash market at the very top price, is
secured, and trade is enlivened, bills col
lected and credits foreshortened. A far
mer with fat pocket book snaps his
fingers in the fact of extortion, in what
ever phase it presents. He is independ-
emit He can buy whatever and wherever
of that fact seeks his patronage. and
makes him every concession within req
sonable limits, dictated by sound businsss
policy.
And not only does the fair offend a
market for cattle, but incidentally for
host of other products for which there is
ordinarily no spot cash markets. When
buyers are assured that any product in
consumptive demand i'll the markets of
the cities can be purchased i'll sufficient
quantity to insure cheap transportation
carload lots-they will be anxious to
purchase. Onions, potatoes, cabbage,
carrots, turilips, barley-in short every
thing of that character will find ready
purchasers.
A steady and regular market has other
advantages. A farmer knows just when
he can sell one or dozen head of fat cat
tie, and he prepares for it. He will do
extra feeding economically, for he knows
when it will close, and just how much
will be required. He can calculate his ex-
penditures in advance, for he is assured
that he will have money on hand upon
day certain.
But is Improbable to argue the mat
ter fnrther-the advantages are appar-
ent upon the mere statement.
What has proved so notably beneficial
in other towns and cities would be equal
Iy SO here. Sank Centre could not under
take more practically wise scheme than
to take steps at once for establishing
monthly fairs. There is no question of
their success if undertaken with vigor.
No vast expense is required-only united
and vigorous action. Let the board of
trade be resurrected. and ii it fall asleep
again after accomplishing this one object
tsawakening will not have been in vain.

MARK Twain

Has become rich. fat, and as conse,
quence lazy--or else his talent for quaint
savings has left him. One of the best
things be ever said, in his humorous
DAYS, was that the vital statistics of the
United States Census showed that more
people died at home in bed than were
killed or fatally injured IN railroad acct
dents; therefore, it wasfar saferto travel
than to stay at home. There is perhaps
a flaw III Marks sy1logism, whether in
premises or conclusion the reader can
determine for himself, but there would
be nothing illogical in a statement like
this: All people wish to-avoid accidents
when travelling. "The Burlington" has
never lost passenger BY an ACCIDENT
therefore all people prefer to travel by
s.The Burlington itself. For tickets,
rates, etc, call on your nearest railroad

The commission to investigate the
charges against Probate Judge Bruener
has concluded its labors and will file its
report with the governor at no distant
day. 1t would seem to be clear case
of vast volume of smoke with very
trifle offre-if any. Ofcourse, the report
of the commission will not be made pub
lie until the governor sees fit to make it
so, but there was nothing in the testi-
mony to sustain any charge rejecting
upon the official conduct of Judge Brue-
ner. 1t had been said repeatedly that
Senator Keller and representatives Cap
ser and Linneman were the Investigators
of the charges, they having made COM
plant to the Governor. All there, in
their testimony disown any such pur-
pose. They went to see the Governor
relative to the matter, at the instiga-
ton OF Schaps and his friends, who
persistently pursued them during the
session Of the legislature. Finally they
told the Governor the story Schaps told
them, they not protesting to have any
personal knowledge Of the matter.
Schaps claimed that he had been commit
ed to the insane asylum unlawfully, and
without reason, and that back of it was
a conspiracy, or scheme. to deprive him
ofyaluable property, Including Touring
mill at Albany; furthermore that Judge
Bruener was pivy to the scheme, and
loaned his official authority to its con.
summation. The evidence adduced at
the investigation wholly failed to estab
lish the charge.

Indignant.

Mrs. w. P. Hilsdale who has been Wis
iting friends in Fargo, with her children,
had very unpleasant experience upon
the occasion of her return home On
Tuesday evening she left Fargo, and was
told she would have to change cars at
GAINESVILLE, where she could procure a
sleeper. The facts are that the sleeper
attached to the train she was on came
through, and she finally secured berth
in at GAINESVILLE, where she was COM
PEELED to wait two hours in the depot,
by reason of the train over. the Grand
Forks line being late Arriving at Sank
Centre she was all prepared to-. get off
the train, the children and herself stand
ing in the aisle with their hand baggage
when the train came to stand still.
But the train did not halt at this station
long enough for them to alight from the
car, and they were compelled to go to
Melrose, returning on Wednesday morn
ing on a freight after waiting in the Mel
rose depot two or three hours. 1t is not
strange that Mr.. Hilsdale feels very in

Convicted.

Joseph Wolfe was arrested on Friday
last for non-support OF his wife, Upon
complaint sworn out by his SON, Ferdi-
nand The facts in the case are about
these: Wolff owns house in the city
and farm several miles south of town,
and in May last he brought his wife into
the city for medical treatment, she being
an invalid from the effects of rheumatism.
He supplied her with bedding. called in
the physician once, and gave her some
household supplies sufficient for d week.
A little later he brought in like quanti-
ty OF provisions and authorized her to
make some purchases from Smonton &
Bennett. A little later upon sending to
the store for more provisions, she was in
formed that her husband had left word
that she could not have any more upon
his credit, and since that time he has de-
clIned and refused to provide for her in
any manner whatever. Her son Ferdi-
nand is in poor health, unable to work,
and cannot therefore provide for his
mother. He accordingly made complaint
to the municipal court, and warrant
was issued and Wolff was arrested. He
was tried on Monday and convicted.
The court imposed penalty of $500
and costs, amounting to $32.49. 1t was
rather an expensive lesson. hut he has
learned it by heart and will profit by it.

The Modern Gotlis.

Lord Wolseley believes that the Chinese
will in time overrun the world-as soon,
in fact, as a great general or lawgiver
arises among them. At present they
have no great leaders, for the simple
reason that the government puts out of
existence every Celestial who displays
more than the average intelligence. 1t
is narrated that when commissioner Leh
was asked whether it was true that he
had heheaded go, 900 men in three years
hereplied: "Oh, surely, more than that. /"
Lord Wolseley thinks, however, that a
Chinese Alexander or Moses will come
to the front some day, and that his people
will then adopt the profession of arms
and sweep over India, Russia, and the
continent, and finally give England,
America, and Australia tussle for
supremacy. This sounds chimerical, but
we should not forget Rome or the Goths.

Lopped Ears.

Topped ears are the result of domesti-
cation in all animals except the elephant.
Not only carnivorous animals, but all
animals which are liable to be preyed
upon by others. need the erect mobile
funnel shaped ear to catch every sound;
the one class to apprse them of the vi
cinity of their prey, the other to keep
them on their guard against unseen
foes; and the constant exercise of The
external organ gives tone and energy to
the muscles which move it.
The elephant, too, probably came of
an ancestral stock that had erect ears,
but for ages past there has been no Great
ure powerful enough to cause it alarm,
and for want Of exercise the muscles
which move the ear have lost tone and
wasted away, leaving the ear to lop or
hang pendulous.
The tendency to lop the ear varies
much in different animals. Rabbits lop
their ears after a comparatively short
period of domestication, and with the
exception of dogs are almost the only
lop cared animals in Europe or America;
but in Oriental countries all the domes tic
animals are more or less lop cared, q
fact which suggests that they have been
much longer under domestication than
their congeners in Christendom.
East Indian goats have long pendulous
ears, sometimes over n foot in length
and soft as silk. The ears of the Indian
donkey stand out horizontally; those of
the zebu, or Indian OK, droop below the
horizontal line. and some breeds of Ori-
entail horses carry their ears nearly hori-
zontal, although the Arab horse shows
no such tendency.
The greatest measure of variability in
this matter of Topped ears is to be found
among dogs Spaniels, settlers, pointers,
bloodhounds, beagles, and foxhounds,
all have long pendulous ears; bulldogs,
terriers, collies, and grayhounds droop
only the tips of their ears; the spitz has
erect ears, while mastiffs and many
other breeds have short penduloui or
semi-pendulous ears.
1t might be inferred that the more
pendulous cared dogs have been longer
under domestication and that the more
prick cared dogs have been derived from
wild stock at a comparatively recent
period; but something may be due to
accidental variation and careful selec-
ton in breeding.
In general, Topped ears result from
ages of di5use of the muscles which
move the ears, and which in wild ami
mails are in constant activity; and it ap-
pears that ears which have become pend
ulous tend to increase in length.

WIVES DREAM or BLISS.
Tho Kitehea Will he Banisksd From Thsis
Homes.


The idea of cooperative housekeeping
is growing in this country. 1t Is now
receiving practical test in several
western cities, and also in Philadelphia.
| The idea is not so much to secure
cheaper living rs to do away with i'm
dividual household work. The cook in
charge of the central culinary establish
ment will purchase all provisions neces.
sary, hire the needful help, and collect
from each family its proportion of the
expenses. The families will be charged
according TO the number of persons each
contains, special prices being made for
babies and very small children.
Another plan is to adopt n regular
weekly rate for each person.
Purchasing fuel and provisions in
wholesale quantities, the association will
buy at much lower rate than that
charged individuals Families can either
take their meals at private tables cur
tanned in booths in the main dining room
of the central supply house, or have
them served in their own dwellings
The former plan is the one usually
adopted. and can be carried on some-
what cheaper than the other
Speaking of the trial now being made
in Philadelphia, DR.. Taylor, of that city,
says:
"lf the plan works, as we have no
doubt it will, besides having central
! cooking house, there will be established
n laundry, electric light plant, and house
heating apparatus. A good system is to
have one central supply house for each
square. The dwellings are built as
usual, with the exception Of the dining
rooms They are built away from the
main structure and along covered
aisle leading from the central house to
the middle of the four sides of the
square. The dining rooms are one story
structures, and they are connected with
the main dwelling by little archways.
Thus each family eats in its own dining
room, but is served from the common
surply house.
Experienced hotel men tell us that
three servants can cook for 40 families.
1t would require three more to distribute
the meals. The laundry would not
nccessitate the employment of more than
three people. The heating and Lighting
apparatus is attended by n few laborers
Forty families thus dismiss at least 40
servants, and have their work done more
thoroughly and better by a dozen.
