A Grammatical Pupil.

A country schoolmaster in the neigh Dor
hood of Manchester the other day, aft er
giving one of his pupils sound drubbing
for speaking ungrammatically, sent him
to the other end of the room to inform an
other boy that he wished to speak to him,
at the same time promising to repeat the
dose il he spoke to him ungrammaticall y.
The youngster being quite satisfied with
what he had got determined to be exact,
and thus addressed his fellow pupil:

Can White Animals Taste or Smell,

A. r. Wallace, in an article on the curl
GUS physiological facts bearing upon the
presence or absence of white colors in ami
mails, adduces some strange ideas from Dr.
Ogle and others. 1t appears that a colored
or dark pigment in the olfactory regions is
essential to perfect smell. In cases where
animals are pure white they are usually
totally devoid of both smell and taste; and
some, the white cat for instance, are almost
Invariably deaf The necessity of the COL
ored pigment at the nostrils explains a
curious case of poisoning that was an eng
ma even to the learned Darwin.
In one Of the mountain counties Of Vir-
ginia white pigs were killed by eating a
nut or root which according to Darwin
had no bad effect on porkers of dark color.
Reasoning from the pigment standpoint
the great evolutionist concluded that ele
ments which were deadly poison to ami
mails of white color were innocuous to those
of darker hue.
But DIR. Ogle observes that there is no
proof that the black pigs eat the poisonous
roots, nuts and vegetables to which those
of white color fall prey. He thinks that
Darwin's theory Of constitutional differ
ences in animals of opposite colors'' is not
the proper explanation, but that the black
pigs reject the poisons because they are dis
tasteful, while the white ones, being de-
ficient or wholly without the faculties Of
smell or taste, greedily devour everything
in the vegetable line and are killed accord

Fire--NarroW Escape.

On Saturday evening at about 8
o'clock the barn belonging to John b.
Spooner, located near the engine
house, was discovered to be on fire
and was soon totally destroyed, to
gether with a small quantity Of hay
and tools of different kinds. Loss,
about $3.50; insured for S100. The
water in the cistern at the engine
house was so badly frozen that it
could not be used in putting out the
fire. In fact, nearly everything about
the house seemed to be pretty
thoroughly frozen. Even the rope to
the rope to the bell was out of whack,
SO that it could not be rung. 1t was
indeed fortunate that there wass.no
wind blowing at the time. If there
had been immense damage would
have been the resalt. Unless we have
some good system of water works, it
is only Il question of time when our
city Will be wiped out by fire. Oh,
no, Morris don't need water works
OF course not!
There were two horses belonging to
j. G. Hancock, and COW and calf |
belonging to VIM. Mccullough in the
barn at the time of the fire, but were
taken out without being damaged.
The fire was undoubtedly started
in the loft, by some one, either pur-
posely Or accidently dropping a light
ed match Or fire from pipe or cigar
The barn of Mr.. Caswell and the
dwelling house of j. E. Spooner were
only a few feet from the burning barn,
and the water tank and engine house
were near by, and had the wind been
blowing, even lightly, these buildings
would have been destroyed. As it
was, they only narrowly escaped des-
truction.

ROCkdale Farm Co.

DR.. J. @. Curryer, editor ofthe Min
nesota Horseman and breeder Of
blooded horses, in referring to the
Rockdale Farm Co., says: We have
examined their catalogue and find
their stock royalty bred. Their stall
lions were selected by Mr.. Peter Blum
dell of Lancashire, England, who is
one of the governors Of the Shire
horse society of Great Britain and
has been a judge of Shires in more
rings than any other man in England.
He selected only the strongest and
most vigorous and the best blood as
will be seen from the pedigrecs. The
Rockdale Farm Co., has a paid up
capital of 100000 It is the purpose
of this company to import and breed
only the very best and as they have
capital they do not have'to sell notes
Or borrow money and therefore can
give purchasers low figures. It is the
intention of the company to establish
a record for honesty, carrying out all
guarantee. It is also the intention of
the company in the near future to
add trotting and pacing strains from
some of the best families. The Rock
dale Farm consists of 5000 acres,
we'll equipped with extensive build
ings and is under the direct supervi
sion of Mr.. VIM. Delahunt, who is a
very accommodating gentleman and
will take pleasure in showing visitors

SKlPS THE TOWN.
With Money that Don't Belong
to Him.

John Welters, who claims that Nil
waukee was his former home, has beer
at work for the Sisters of Mercy fol
some months past, and was believed
to be a trusty man.
Last Saturday afternoon he was
sent to the post office to collect two
money orders for the Rey. Mother, OF
$50 each. After getting the money,
which was about $3.50, he left the
horse and buggy in an out building
at the old convent and skipped out of
town, going to Hancock, where he
took the night train east
Meantime search was made for him
about town, and not finding him a
warrant for his arrest was procured.
At about Il o'clock at night the case
was given Sheriff Munro, who by
prompt and judicious action, by way
of telegraphing to different points,
secured Welters arrest at Kerkhoven,
and at 730 Sunday morning he was
locked up in the Willmar jail. Mar
shall Benzing of Hancock deserves a
good share of credit for services rem
dered in the matter of arrest. He re-
ceived telegram from Sheriff Munro,
and having seen man answering the
description get on the train at that
place, telegraphed to the marshal at
Kerkhoyen, who arrested Welters on
the arrival of the train and took him
to Willmar. Sheriff Munro went to
Willmar and brought his prisoner to
Morris Sunday night. Monday he
was taken before Justice Gillespie.
Welters waived examination and was
committed to jail to await the action
of the grand jury.
Welters bought new suit Of
clothes and spent over half of the six
ty dollars he obtained on the post Of
flee orders. 49,.
No one but the most hardened |
scoundrel would steal from the good
Sisters, and we sincerely hope that
this fellow Welters will be made to
serve lengthy term in the peniten
tiary.
