A special from Hinckley, Mimi,
dated the 2nd inst, says that the
forest fires which have been raging in
Minnesota, are the most terrible that
have ever happened. 1t says that
over 800 people are dead, six towns
blotted from the face of the earth
and over 81, 900, 900 worth OF prop
erty destroyed. This is the record
Of the fires in the pine forests be-
tween noon and midnight of the 1st,
in the counties of Pine, Mile and
Chisago. The catastrophy IS the
most frightful that every visited Min
nesota. The cyclones OF st. Cloud,
Rochester and New Ulm were awful
in the loss of human life and proper
ty, but they were pigmy accidents
alongside the terrible holocaust which
has swept miles and miles of country
north, south, east and west of it. 1t
all came so suddenly that 1T bereft
people by the score OF their reason
and they jumped like maddened cat
tie into the forest inferno Of seething
fame. A st. Paul and Duluth train,
south bound, with eighty passengers,
ran into Hinckley, and proceeded
thence to Mission Creek, two miles
farther south, only to find that viii
lage in ashes. The conductor issued
immediate orders to his crew to back
into Hinckley, but before the train
running twenty miles an hour, could
reach Hinckley the place was in
flames. The train stopped at the
depot one fatal minute, during which
the woodwork on the engine and bag
gage car caught fire. The train
quickly resumed its backward jour
ney toward Duluth, and every mo-
ton Of the cars famed the flames to
fury, and they soon enveloped the
sleeping cars, passenger coaches and
smoker.
While the train was stopping at
Hinckley nearly 200 panic-stricken
people of the place rushed upon the
platform and into the cars. When
they discovered the trair was on fire
they began to moan, shout and pray,
which, with the awful roar Of the
flames, made the picture Of satan's
realm perfect. "A mile out Of Hinck-

Prof. w. O. Atwater, who has
been employed by the Department of
Agriculture to make scientific inves-
LEGATIONS and experiments in the
matter of mans food, makes the fol-
lowing statements, that are to be en-
bodied in a report published by him
under the auspices of the Depart
ment of Agriculture: sMost educa-
ted people have queer notions about
food. 1t is generally imagined that
an egg contains as much nutriment
As. one pound OF bcefsteak. As q
matter Of fact, it has 40per cent. less
Of nutriment, pound per pound. Beef
sirloin II only 70 per cent. as nutri-
tons as beans and peas. Chicken
aad turkey are ahead OF peas and
beans ii tins respect, being the most
nutritious food known. Shad and
mackerel are as nutritious as sirloin
steak. Lean beef is nearly three
fourths water. The popular belief
that fish IS good BRAN food is an idea
without any foundation. One pound
Of lean beef and i quart Of milk as it
comes from the COW, contain about
the same amount Of natrltive matte
rial. He is also authority for the
assertion that s'the body Of man
weighing l54 pounds contains Sc
roands. Or 4C quartz Of water.

Add to this the forest fires that
rage every year in some of the
Western States in such a way that
it is beyond our comprehension to
hear of towns and villages utterly
destroyed, of hundreds of people
hasing persisted in the flames. The
daily papers of Monday tell US of
six towns having been wiped out of
existence and of 500 people having
persisted in the flames on Sunday
last, in the State of Minnesota. The
details are narrowing; people fleeing
for their lives before the FIRE, board
ing trains that found trestles and
bridges burned; fathers, mothers and
children, husbands and wives separ-
ated, lost and perhaps burned to
death; some seeking refuge in gravel
pits, some in ponds; the flames over
reaching trains, burning them'to the
ground, developing veritable whirl-
winds Of flames that actually twisted
of poplar trees several inches in
thickness, and carrying huge blazing
6rebrands high in the air from 40 to
so rods" Of the town of Hinckley,

cultivated by them; that SIG per cent
of the farm-owing families own subject
to incumbrance. Among 100 farm
families IS hire their farms, 2 own with
incumbrance, and 60 without incum-
brance. On the owned farms there are
liens amounting to 1884, ,303, which is
1850 per cent. of their value, and this
debt bears interest at the average rate
of SOC per cent, making the average
annual interest charge S79to each
family. Each owned and incumbered
farm, on the average, is worth $2,747,
and is subject to debt of 81 sos.
The corresponding facts for homes
are that 72.14 per cent. of the home
families hire and 27.S6 per cent. own
their homes: that of the hometown
ing families 95.93 per cent. own free of
incumbrance and 407 per cent. with
incumbrance. In 100 home families, on
the average, y hire their home, one
owns with incumbrance, and q without
incumbrance The debt owned homes
aggregates s., ,056,9 ,961, or 5109 per cent.
of their value, and bears interest at the
average rate of 632 per cent, so that
the annual amount of interest to each
home averages $67. An average debt
of 81, ,056 incumbers each home, which
has the average value of S2,067.
There are 9 cities in the lass of those hay-
ing population Of 5000 to 100000, and
