A 5 or lc-S:,:llon jar set under the water
tap, with rubber tube running to the
bottom, makes a fine washing box for prints.
You can keepup !: constant current of flow

at least an hour.
The making of lantern slides is the chief
industry just now in all the clubs and So
cieties. 1t is a good thing in bindingto use
thin glue instead of mucilage, and then
when dry varnish the binding. This adds
considerably to its durability.
Always avoid your sitter looking in the di-
rection. of the fiashlight. If you will do this,
and at the same time hang a piece of very
thin muslin about yard square foot or
two in front Of the flash, you will soften
the lighting and avoid harshncss of high
lights and staring look of the eyes.
The difficulty Of ovcrexposure may be
overcome by realizing the meaning of the

Light.

The grandest sentence many hook
in the world is this, in Holy. writ:
sAnd God said, Let there be light
and there was light Natural
Science can tell you indetail how alb.
solutely indispensable light is to the
continuance OF any form OF life OH
.onr globe. It is not the purpose of
this paragraph, however, to dis
course upon the benefits OF natural
light, but to present some curious
facts connected with it, and the
numerous artificial means of illumi-
nation invented by the ingenuity OF
man. The ancients thought that
objects We're made visible by some
thing projected from the eye, and it
was not until about $50 years before
the Christian Era that men began to
ask-Why can we not see in dark
ness? It then daWned upon some
body that light falling upon an Oh
ject was what made it visible, and
that the eye was only machine for
| receiving the rays Of light and trans
hitting to the brain the impressions
they give as to the size, shape and
color Of external things. The first
artificial light was probably Il burn
lg brand-then a reed saturated in
oil, then the talloW dip, the candle,
the oil lamp, the Kerosene lamp, gas,
and last and greatest, the electric
light. Intellectual light is another
'kind-the lightneeded to guide our
actions, and that is furnished by the
experience Of ourselves or others. Ii
you want light on the subject OF
travel, everybOdy's experience is
clear as the sun that the Burlingt t. n
Route is the best for all travellers

Don't Appreciate Good Music.

The members of the st. Cloud Union
Band returned from Little Falls this
morning. They gave two entertain
ments, one on Saturday night and
a sacred concert on Sunday afternoon.
The combined receipts footed up on
an aggregate OF $1O7 while expenses
OF the organization amounted to
nearly double that amount. From
a musical standpoint, no exception
could be taken to the concert. Be-
sides the band, Miss Amelia 3. Ripe
assisted in giving theconcert, and as a
sOlOiSt she is hard to excel. The
"boys' have about come to the con-
clusion that they are best appreciated
at home, and it will be some time be-
fore they will venture to give a con-
cert in any neigbhring city. FOrtu-
nately all We're provided with round
trip tickets, and were in such fnan-
cial condition as to be able to meet
all shortcomings. They had a good
time, as usual. No one ever heard
of /, band going anywhere and not
enjoying themselves, and with the
exception OF small and unappreciatiye
audiences, speak well OF the hospital
ity OF the city, and especially the
many favOrs shown them by Man
ager Van Praag.-St. Cloud Times.
OF course we can't appreciate good
music, but we wonder what in
thunder the band boys expected? If
had been known that they expected
"thunders OF applause, we would
have made arrangements to have

present. This paper does not wish
to get into anything like the st.

but it is but right to state that the
party who gave the Times man the
information did not know what he
was talking about.

THAT CRIPPLE ALLIANCE. y

The story of a triple alliance be-
tween the United States, Russia and
France would create deep sensation
if it were true, but it will appear to
any one given to sober reflection that
the senate would not dare to ratify
such a treaty whatever may be the:
pressure from the state department.
A defensive alliance Of that kind
would be the most radical departure
from established principles. It would
involve us directly and irremediably
in the burning questions of Europe.
1t would involve us in the next
European war ssand compel US to ex-
pend all our resources of money, and
muscle to resolve ourselves into a
gigantic military and naval power.
The extradition treaty with Russia is
bad enough, for it obliges us to hand
over to the direst and most monstrous
despotism on Gods earth, all Russians
who have taken refuge in this coun'
try, to the inquisitoriai power at St.
Petersburg which banishes to Siberia
,r summarily executes every man and
woman remotely suspected Of dissatis
faction with the cruel system. This
indeed, is bad enough, but the idea OF
compacting with Russia defensive
and offensive alliance to maintain the
Monroe doctrine is too absurd to ell.
terrain.
We do not need the aid Of Europe
to maintain the Monroe doctrine
That doctrine, as repeatedly affirmed
and reafirmed, is designed to prevent
European neddling with the affair:
Of the Western hem isphere. A triple
alliance would simply give Europe al
excuse for such intermeddling. This
country will not have such a compact
1t would be an unholy alliance

A MINNESOTA BOY
Will Accompany Peary's Next Arctic
EXDeditiOn.

In his next arctic expedition Lieut..
Peary is to be accompanied by a
Minnesota boy. There were 800 APP
plica tons for the honor says the
Minneapolis Tribune, to accompany
the explorer, and the young man
selected is James w. Davidson, of
Austin, Mimi. Mr.. Davidson is only
20 years old.
The expedition will leave New
York during May. Thesteamer Kite
will probably convey Mr.. Peary and
his party north. A landing will be
made at McCormick's bay, West
Greenland. Mccormick s bay Will be
reached, it is expected, by June I.
At Mccormick hay stores and
provisions will belanded and cached.
Mr. Peary and his party will then
Immediately commence the sledge
journey to Northern Greenland as
soon as dog trains can be made up
at Mccormick bay.
The initial sledge journey will be
1900 miles in length. This trip,
when completed, will land the party
on the shores of Northwestern Green
land.
Northern Greenland Mr.. Peary
hopes to reach by August. There
heswill erect huts for his party and
cache provisions The winter of
1884 ,,lse expects to spend in this
locality. Musk OK, he reports, are
found in immense droves in that
region, and furnish an excellent
means of sustaining life.
From the shoresof Northern Green
land to the north pole is distance
of about five hundred miles. Mr..
Peary. will await the freezing over of
the open sea beyond Greenland and
then push across as far as possible
during the winter months. The
starlight makes it possible for one to
discern objects at q close distance,
but on the whole the winter months
are one long period of gloom.
