Band Concert and Dance.

1t is always pleasure for us to note
the success of a private individual, cor
poration or company. We delight in
according praise to those who do their
work we'll. Efficiency in any lawful
undertaking is always gratifying to the
performer and his friends. We have
watched and noted the progress of our
local band and we truly feel proud OF
the entertainment they gave the people
of the twin cities Monday night at the
opera house. Under the excellent
supervision of Mr.. Grant White they
have made rapid progress. The music
they furnish is equal to the best and
the accuracy in which they render it is
commendable. We believe our citizens
appreciate their efforts. We take it
that the large audience which greeted
them Monday night is an indication of
the appreciation in which they are
held. The concert consisted of eleven
selections which were ably rendered.
Especially fine were the two descriptive
pieces entitled, "The Colored Walters
Ball'' and 'The Night Alarm" Each
performer took his part we'll and the
band as whole is a combination of
which we can all feel proud. The con-
cert and dance was success both
socially and financially.

You were a boy yourself
once, dear reader, that is unless

you, especially if you be mother,
probably take more interest in the
boys than do even fathers. Now

things as are suitable to their par
ents station in life, and the not too
parsimoniously. Knee pants suit
Or some other kind of suit, accord
ing to their age, must be gotten
for them, and where are such

just as they should be, extremely
moderate; the quality is excellent;
the fit perfect; the wear lasting.

What You Shoot In China.

A naval officer once told the writer
that pheasant shooting in China was
very fair and would be really good if
there were not so many obstacles about
to enjoying it comfortably. He said that
the people were so numerous that if you
let a gun go off almost anywhere in Chi
ma you were pretty sure to hit China
man. They seemed easy, however, to
deal with, small present as damages
sending them away in a contented state
of mind, and indeed this naval authority
did say that they would sometimes try
to get in the shooters way on purpose to
get these damages. -Macmillan's Maya

The New and the Beautiful.

"That is the most peculiar and as
founding faculty of the mind that calls
the new, the beautiful" said Charles
Truax. "Now, just think minute.
Look at the change in fashions, and then
you see it perfectly. The hat that you
wore last season-the one with the stiff
rim and soft crown-how nice and nobby
it looked then! Now, when you tried it
on again the other day, accidentally run
ming across it in the locker, why, it
looked hideous, didn't it? It's impossi-
BILE to define why this is so. You can't
say it is because the mind dislikes old
things (some minds don't) nor that all
minds love the new, the change. Itisn't
exactly because persons dislike to be odd
or out of date, for some take great de-
light in looking strange and odd.
"Others do not wear the new things
first simply to be the first. While do
not think this sense comes from or guides
itself by any one of these influences, yet
the sum of them all goes to make up a
circle of harmony inside of which one
would rather dwell than out. There are
thousand little things that the mind
comprehends almost unconsciously and
acts accordingly. 1t is this reflex action
of brain work that makes it possible for
one to understand why we do these
things. st. Louis Globe-Democrat

The Expansion of Solid Bodies.

An ingenious instrument for measur-
ing the expansion of minute solid bodies
Is found in the list of inventions. The
substance is placed in the field of a mi
croscope and an image of it magnifed
several times is thrown on screen.
This image is further magnified by two
micrometer microscopes which accur-
ately determine the expansion. The
substanceis heated in little platinum
oven through which an electric current
passes, and the temperature of the oven
is arrived at by observations on the
melting of standard substances. By the
use of this instrument the thermal ex-
pansion of any substance even to the
smallest diamond can be determined un-
Ill the temperature of combustion is
reached. -Exchange

Friendship Between Horse and a Dog.

Friendship Between Horse and Dog.
A plumber at Narragansetth had a horse
81 years old, which was used for carry
ing around his masters material when
that was necessary, but spent most of its
time in a small pasture. A fox terrier,
also belonging to the plumber, was an in
separable companion of the old horse.
When the old horse was harnessed to the
cart the dog was on guard to see that
nothing was stolen from the cart. In
the pasture the dog was always shifting
around the horse and was never so de-
lighted as when the horse would begin to
roll in the grass, which it often did, ap-
parently to please the dog, which would
jump about in every direction and bark
for pure joy.
At night when the horse was put in the
barn the dog always entered with its
friend and slept on the animals body.
One day the neighbors heard the most
dismal bowls coming from the pasture
and found that the old horse had died.
There was the terrier on the dead body,
bowling out its sorrow and misery. The
dog remained with the body until it was
removed for burial.-New York Tribune.

A Magnetic Detecter.

A clever continuance has been invent
ed for the detection of small pieces of
magnetizable metal, such as needles,
tacks, steel and iron chips, etc., that may
have entered the human body unawares
and hidden themselves in the skin or
deeper tissues. The instrument was de-
vised by DR.. j. B. Williams and consists
essentially of a partially astatic combi-
nation of small magnetic needles sus-
pended within glass tube, the tube be-
ing covered with tinfoil to minimize
electric action, except for o small space
through which the needle can be OBJ
served. 1t is claimed that the instru-
ment is sufficiently delicate to detect the
presence of one-eighth of an inch of steel
or iron wire at distance of six inches
from itself.-New York Telegram.

The Evolution of Names.

The evolution of names from foreign
tongues into English is in many cases
easy. From the German Bauer to the
English Bowers, and from the French
Boulanger to the English Bullinger is

people who are oftener more humorously
accused Of altering their names than the
Irish. Thus, Crehan has become Rehan

A Pocket Life Saving Apparatus.

In 1874 Lieutenant Brunei of Dieppe
introduced his pocket life saving lines, of
which already upward of 3,840 are being
used in France, where they now rescue
annually some 295 lives. Nevertheless
these admirable inventions are almost
unknown in our empire. Brunels small
pocket line consists of a wooden float,
round which some 80 feet of stout cord
is wound. The other end of the cord
terminates in an efficient grapnel armed
with four small hooks. The whole ap-
paratus complete weighs only five
ounces and is the most convenient of all
life saving lines. Hence l urge its adop-
ton everywhere, especially for officials
and others engaged about our coasts and
inland waters. These appliances could
be profitably retailed for about Is Cd.

A Paradox Explained.

Why does not man weigh pound
more Immediately after eating pound
weight of food? A little reflection will
readily explain this apparent mystery.
During the process of mastication, de-
glutition, etc., certain muscles are
brought into active play, and the exer-
else of any muscle necessitates tempo
rary waste of its tissues, and a certain
amount of carbon is eliminated and
passed off during the course of the meal.
This loss, however, is trifing as COM
pared with that due to respiration and
perspiration, both of which are increased
during the various operations Of making
meal.
The length of time one may take to
consume pound of food makes but lit
tie difference to those losses, for if it is
eaten leisurely there is but slight in
crease of respiration or perspiration,
whereas if it is hurried through both are
abnormally accelerated. Hence by the
time the pound is eaten the consumer
has lost appreciably in moisture and car
bonic acid.-Million.

Chased with a Moushful.

Captain Bendire, well known orni-
biologist, was riding along the banks of
Rillitto creek, Arizona, when he saw q
big black hawk He followed the flying
bird and at length came up with it,,
perched on dead limb Of a cottonwood
tree. A bulky nest was in a fork of the
tree about 40 feet from the ground. The
mate of the hawk which the captain had
been following was sitting on the nest
Hoping to secure trophy, Captain
Bendire climbed up to the nest, in which
he found a single pale blue egg. The
parent birds circled around manifesting
their anger at the intrusion by shrill
screams, but the captain took the egg
He put 1t in his mouth for safe keeping,
as he required both hands in his descent
Suddenly from his elevated perch he
caught sight of several Apache Indians
crouched in small canyon about 80
yards distant. They were evidently
watching him.
He was awake to his danger in an in
slant, but he manifested no signs Of
alarm and descended to the ground in a
leisurely manner. Had the Indians per-
ceived that they were discovered, they
would have been waiting for the egg
hunter at the foot of the tree.
AS it was the captain reached the
ground, mounted his horse and started
on a gallop for the camp, five miles dis
tant.
In moment the Apaches broke cover
and pursued. They chased him nearly
to the camp, but he reached it in safety,
the egg still in his mouth. 1t was un-
broken. Owing to its large size the cap
tain had difficulty in removing it from
his mouth without injuring it. His jaws
