The Races.

Friday and Saturday last were as
fine days as could be desired for the
races, and the races We're exception
ally good. As far as an outsider
could see there was no jockeying, but
that practice has become so universal
that a great many people have lost
faith in seeing any square work on
the track, consequently the turn out
was not quite as good as it ought to
have been. Altogether it was the
best meeting held ON the track. Be-
low is the score:

Home Comfort,

The restless world is always on the
move for change, with the falacious
idea that they are enjoying the COM
forts of life. Rafting over the
prairie, climbing the mountains,
crowding into fashionable hotels may
be exciting variety, or enjoyment, but
outside of home there can be no real
comfort. It is the duty of every man
and woman to contribute all they
can for the promotion of this greatest
earthly blessing.
In writing of home comforts, we
particularly apply our remarks to
Stevens and surrounding counties.
First, after the paramount duty Of
cultivating love and affection, comes
the item of a good warm home.
Every man can procure this for his
family by little effort, if he be in
clined to go the right way about it.
There is one article for sale in this
town, which if used in the construct
ion of a house, will secure more
warmth, with less cost than anything
in the yet discovered blessings to
humanity. We refer to "Adamant."
It is the most perfect plaster and the
nearest to non-porous of anything yet
found that can be used as plaster.
The following test will convince
any unbiased mind of this fact:
Asphalt taken at zero. ...................OO
AdaInanC. '....: ............... 10
Plaster of Paris or Stucco. 80
Mortar, three coats including white coat. Is
common mortar, .SO
Among the prominent buildings of
the country that have used the fam
GUS plaster, we may name the follow
ing: Soldiers Home, Minnehaha
Falls; Journal building, Minneapolis;
Century building, Minneapolis; The
Cunningham Block, Minneapolis;
Tribune building, Minneapolis;
Bijou Opera House, Minneapolis;
Ryan Hotel, st. Paul, Grand Opera
House, West Superior, Wis; Fargo
College, Fargo, N. D.; State Reform
School, Red Wing, Mimi; State Re
form School, Owatonna, MINI; State

orial Library, New York City; Utica
Insane Asylum, Utica, New York;
State Capital building, Albany, New
York, st. Lawrence Asylum, Ogden
burg, New York; Grand Trunk Rail
way Depot, Lancaster, Quebec.
This Adamant is for sale by E. J.
Jones, and if he sells it as fast as he
sells lumber, we will soon have as
warm houses in Stevens county as
they could boast of in Florida.

A PERlPATETlC BARBER.
A Peculiar Maine Industry That Has Iti

Peculiar Maine Industry That Has It's
Advantages.
Many of the Maine rural towns do not
support a professional barber. Men
early learn 70 shave themselves; and as
to hair-cutting, there is always
somebody in town, who, with
that neighborliness for witch
these communities are noted, is
ready to trim your locks for you with
all his heart and all his art. A writer
for the Belfast Age, on an outing, re-
Gently fell in with one of these anna
teur BARRIERS and humorously described
his accommodating ways: "Soon was
perched astride of a molasses hogshead
with a mealbag about my neck to pro-
tect it from the fall of hair. / might
say the fall was great, or the possibil-
tiles of one, from the hogshead as !
squirmed about on it to have the light
strike the head right so the cores would
be even. He was no mean barber, for
he scorned to receive any recompense. !
wish all BARRIERS were as charitable.
After our cutting acquaintance l saw
much of the barber. One time he was
on the schoolhouse steps cutting a
mans hair; again / saw him hard al
work on mans head in the middle ot
his vegetable patch. The farmer was
leaning against bean-pole with his
hoe in his hand evidently making the
most Of his luxurious ease. Anywhere
and everywhere he happened to catcf
his man the enterprising barber woulG
work. / was on the shore one day
watching the fisherman at his salmon
nets. Shortly a small skif went out

SOUPS.

Preparations for Speed and Economy for
the Cooks.
In this age of progress not even the art
of cooking escapes improvement. Every
department of the art bears the imprint OF
progress in economy and speed of prepsrs-
tion: The lovers OF soups and those who
prepare them will be interested in what is
published below. An inspection of Frank
Schmdts store on Main street brought tC
the notice of q HERALD reporter an exten
sive line OF prepared soups that cost but
little and can be placed upon the table al
almost a moments notice. There are
tspioca, mock turtle and bouil!ion, foul
pints of which can be made at a cost of x
cents. Then there are rice, fsrina, pea
bean, barley, julienna, lentel, potato ant
curry, four pints for II cents. All thes'
soups are seasoned and ready for the tabl'
with the exception of putting the ingredi
ents into water and boiling for about 81
minutes. Another soup sold by Mr.
Smith is pea ingredient put up in pack
age shaped like bologna. 1t comes from
Germany and Y plates of this soup can b.
made at cost of 25 cents. 1t is fine arli
Gle and is extensively used in the German
army This soup reminds us of an
other German preparation, which is small
and shaped like cough drop When il
action the soldier carries a number OF thes
preparations in his pocket, Should he be
come wounded, or through any olher cir
cumstance, be left without food on tn

which is made of compound OF the fines

BIG TREES IN FORMosA.

They Rival the Mammoth Ones of the
Redwood Forests In California.
In Shanghai native newspaper are
the details of the remarkable discovery
in the southern part of the island Of
Formosa of trees that rival in size and
beauty the giant redwood trees of Cali
fornia. Ten Chinese merchants of
Foochow organized the exploring ex-
pedition. The vast forests there had
never been penetrated by traders, but
it was known that the country was
broken by high and rugged mountains
that had very heavy timber. The ex-
pedition started from the Chinese port
of Samalan. After seven days of hard
travel it reached the Hualin river. 1t
found no roads, not even a trail, and in
many cases the members journeyed for
hours along the tracks of wild beasts
through heavy timber. Many signs of
natives were seen, but the savages were
too timid TO show themselves. Whether
the party succeeded in establishing
barter with them is not recorded. In
one of the great forests trees of enor-
nous size and height were found. Ten
men, joining their outstretched arms,
were unable to clasp the trunk near
the ground. They estimated the height
at two hundred or more feet. Another
peculiar tree bore red and white
flowers as large as an ordinary sieve.
The forest life, from the descriptions of
the Chinese, resembles that of the Am
azon.

AMERICAN HERoIsM.
UnRssuming Men who, in Emergencies,
Develop the Qualities OF Martyrs.

Unassuming Men who, in Emergencies,
Develop the Qualities OF Martyrs.
II is not infrequently charged that
Americans are so sordid In sentiment,
30 eager and absorbed in the pursuit Of
material gain, that they are incapable
of heroism or self-sacrifice.
The noblest daring, says the Chicago
Herald, recorded in verse or drama, in
battle or mythology, does not supass
that shown in incidents recorded in the
dispatches of the Herald from the flood
district in Iowa. Men did not hesitate
to take the chances of losing their own
lives for the saving of others, and a
number have gone down with the dead
ly flood from whose peril they vainly
sought to rescue women and children.
1t is not SO hard for the human spirit,
full of emotion and stirred to extraor-
dinary effort by sudden impulse on bat
tlefeld or in other scene of brilliant
spectacle or maddening excitement, to
risk the loss of that which to every
man is dearer than all else. 1t requires
a sterner courage, heart more deliber-
ate in self-sacrihce, to risk life for 9TH
ers in dismal river overflow, in rickety
boat, with no skill against rushing
waters, little endurance in the chill of
furious blizzards.
compared with the glowing peans
that have handed down useless feats of
fantastic chivalry, such tales may be
called only dilapidated epics. The con-
ditions of their lives, the circumstances
of their death, do not appeal to grand
lose diction. Often their very names
are unknown Monuments do not com
memorate their voluntary martyrdom.
1t is such men, obscure, uncelebrated,
that prove when the unexpected mo-
ment comes that there Is in them the
mettle of heroes. 1t is such sacrifices
that vindicate the political and social
experiment of democracy. 1t is homely,
natural, simple deeds like these that
prove manhood higher than caste,
American greater than any other name
| left in the world. The merit in these
mems daring is that it was rational and
not expectant of reward, ideal or ma
terial. 1t is the noblest tribute that
man can pay to humanity.
