We are in receipt of book of 275

Agricultural Society and the Forest
Tree Manual of Minnesota. We don't
know which of these reports to COM

much valuable information. We
gather from the statistics. that in 1891
Stevens county had 3,267 mich COWS,
1859 horses, 6,926 cattle of all kinds
including mich COWS, 1924 sheep,
ILL hogs. We also learn from the

At Brooton and Belgrade, two
towns on the 500 line about Z miles
apart, the saloon question is assuming
very business-like aspect. Belgrade
has always had saloons before, Brooton
never. At this spring election the sa-
looms were voted in at Brooton and
out at Belgrade. A large proportion
of the Norwegian farmers living about
the same distance from the two towns
are now circulating petitions to the
merchants of Belgrade asking them
to reduce their prices on the condition
that the petitioners trade exclusively
at Belgrade as long as there are
saloons at Brooton and none al
Belgrade. In the town of North
Fork about IS per cent of the farmers
have signed the petitions, and T. J
Anderson, the leading merchant Of
Belgrade, told representatives of The
North that his townsmen are willing
to give reduction of five to ten pei
cent to the petitioners. Mr.. Anderson
also states that as soon as this agree
ment has been perfected, some of the
farmers of West Norway Lake are
very likely to follow the example O.
the North Fork farmers. Say the
temperance people about this scheme
eve can now kill two birds with one
stone-we can prove that Belgrade
made money by voting out the saloons
and that Brooton lost money by
voting them in."-The North.

Tho ship of the Desert.

There is an Arab tradition cited in
Burton's "Gold Mines of indian" re.
garding the creation OF the camel,
which illustrates the popular but er-
roneous opinion that that animal is
ugly in form and temper.
The story goes that when Allah de-
TRIMMED to create the horse he called
the South wind and said: II desire
to draw from thee a new being; con
dense thyself by parting with thy
fluidity." The Creator then took q
handful of this element, blew upon
it the breath OF life, and the noble
quadruped appeared.
But the horse complained against
his maker, His neck was too short
to reach the distant grass blades on
the march; his back had no humI
to steady a saddle; his hoofs were
sharp and sunk deep into the sand,
and he added many similar grievances.
Whereupon Allah created the camel
to prove the foolishness of his com
plaint.
The horse shuddered at the sight
OF what he wanted to become, and
this is the reason every horse start:
when meeting its caricature for the
first time. Intelligencer.

CRAWLING MICHIGAN THURSDAY DECEMBER NUM-

The cost OF sen.ing them back
to China Is estimated at 500 apiece.
According to Representative Geary's
reckoning, the cost OF deportation need
not be more than $40 head. That is
more than 1t cost these same Cinnamon
to come to the United States, and the
California member says they might as
we'll be sent back in the same style In
which they came. Again, he thinks the
Chinese residents OF this country are
only waiting to see whether the Gov
ernment authorities are in earnest IL
they find that the law is to be Iigldly
enforced, they will nearly all march up
and be registered and photographed be-
fore the year of grace expires. Already
between 400 and 500 have availed them
selves OF the privilege accorded them
by the law and are preparing to stay.
Il do not believe there will be 10000

OF May" says Mr.. Geary. Even II we
had to send that many back at cost OF
$40 apiece or $500, 900, 1t would be get
ting rid of them very chearly." Mr..
Geary suggests that the United States
naval vessels might carry them back to
China. This wolld lessen the cost OF

the same time give the navy something

Small Birds Migrate Easily.

1t is an undoubted fact that some
species OF small birds are carried by
large birds when migrating. While
passing an autumn in Crete a writer
asserts that he often heard the song
and twittering of small birds when
fiocks OF sand cranes we're passing
overhead toward the South. Shortly
afterward the writer in question was
cruising about fifteen miles from the

to the Yacht The men drew his at

She was an independent sort Of a

Shady Churches.

The early meeting-houses of New
England were destitute of shade.
The trees in the vicinity had been
cut down for fear of forest fires, and
curtains and window-blinds were un-
known.
There was no "dim religious light
within the church, but in summer
"the white and undiluted day." and
in winter an atmosphere so cold that,
as Judge Sewell pathetically records
in his diary, "the communion bread
was frozen pretty hard, and ratified
into the plates"
As years passed on, trees were
planted to protect the congregation
from the garish sunlight. Sometime!
the growth was dense, and cast 1

A few years later he was invited d

still standing, rode away leaving tn

Risks Of tho Railway Postal service.

The demand OF the postal clerks
that their mail cars he p aced in a
safer part of the train thar next TO
the locomotive IS very reasonable. l
always get on car near the center
of train, and although i have been
in several accidents have never been
scratched. The unfortunate mail
clerk, however. has not this OppOrtu-
nifty of protecting himself, and, as
the result. every time there is IL head
end collision, or locomotive jumps
the track, the list of the killed and
injured is always headed by one or
more mail clerks, if the train carried
mail at all. 1t is, perhaps, impossi-
BILE To make up trains invariably with
baggage or express cars next the To-
comotive, and even if it were that
would be only transferring griev-
ance from one class of employees TO
another, but it would save companies
money In the long run if they would
run light but strong dummy cars next
the engine, and let them bear the
brunt OF the shock when two trains
try to occupy the same space at the
same moment The Patent Offices of
this and other countries are full of
models Of rubber-protected and other
cars designed for this purpose, and,
although most of these are too COM
plicated, costly, and cumbrous to be
usen generally some Of them would
answer the purpose well and not put
the companies To unreasonable eX-
pense. Public opinion may one day
become strong enough to compel their
adoption for the purpose of saving
life. St Louis Globe Democrat.

With the coming In OF the new admin
istration the swarm OF ofiice-seekers
will arrive in Washington. All OF them
will reach here in high confidence OF
getting places under the Government,
and nine tenths of them will go away
disappointed after eating out their
he arts with waiting and hope deferred
The great majority of those who do sue
ceed will be obliged TO be content with
positions much lower in the public
service than they had expected to Sc
cure. In numerous instances individu-
ais of some distinction who journeyed
here with aspirations for posts OF hlgh
honor and emolument under one admin
istration or another have been glad
to get situations finally as mes
sengers in the departments. History
in this matter repeats itself every time
that one political party goes out and
another comes in. Those who fail, as
their money runs low, drift out OF the
hotels into the boarding houses, finally
falling back on the free lunch route.
Last scene of all, which ends this sad,
eventful history, is the appeal addressed
by the disappointed office-seeker to his
Congressman for a loan to pay car fare
home. Undoubtedly these place hunters
are mostly people OF some Importance
where they live. But the fever for hold
| ing public Office attacks them, and they
abandon everything else to try for 1t.
When they get it the glamour of the life
holds them so that they are never salts
fled TO abandon it. Even the Congress
men who fail of reelection are eager to
get back into employment as clerks In
the Legislative halls where once they
exercised control over the affairs OF the
