SOME lightweight Coxeyites who
followed the fortunes or miSfortunes
of the general to Washington, strayed
into the hands of the authorities at
Baltimore and drifted into the work
house, and here they have been put to
work improving the roads. There is
in this something of the irony of fate.
One of the excuses which they gave
for going to Washington was to carry
a petition asking for the issue of five
hundred millions of bonds for the pur-
pose of providing funds for the i'm
movement of the roads. That failed,
but the section which wandered into
Baltimore is carrying it out on small
scale in way which doubtless does
not enthuse them over the subject.

THE CATALOGUE FAKE.

One of the greatest evils Northwest
ern merchants contend with is the
loss of trade to Chicago and other
large cities which comes from the cir
culation of catalogues by such houses
as Montgomery, Ward s. Co., of Chi
cago. The greatest loss of business to
these houses is from farmers, although
not few city people subscribe to this
disloyal, absurd and expensive system
of buying goods. The complaisance
with which our consumers send away
their cash to eastern "Cheap John"
catalogue houses would be amusing if
it was not SO serious. Without con-
sulting home merchants, to learn
whether he can do as well at home,
the would-be saver of dollars orders
from his catalogue, enclOses his cash
and sends it away four hundred miles
to permit someone else to select his
goods, upon which he pays freight
and if he has sufficient interest to look
into the matter after the goods arrives
he finds he has paid in nearly every
case as much for the same goods as he
could have purchased them at home
beside the freight, and frequently the
quality of the goods is not.equal to
the goods offered at home at less
money A careful comparison of
prices with reliable Mankato houses
shows that after paying freight on
goods offered from catalogue houses
the cost of goods in nearly every in
stance is greater with the house
abroad than with the home retailer.
1t should be remembered too. that
cash must accompany the order in
every instance, while at home Gus
toner with good credit frequently in
sists on time in paying for his goods
and generally obtains it. This may
safely be figured as difference OF five
per cent in favor of the home concern.
Now what must be the result OF
this sending of money away so reck-
lessly? How can the producer in this
neighborhood whether he is farmer,
manufacturer or mechanfc) hope to
find continued market for his pro-
ducts if he is sending the cash so far
away that it cannot come into the
hands of the home buyer to be spent
again by him?
The Chicago man who, operates the
catalogue house, (nor his employes)does
not eat the vegetables from the farm
of the Blue Earth county farmer nor
does he buy the produce of Mankato
workmen. If the farmers and work
workmen would find market for
their products in the community they
should spend their money here when
they can buy as good an article for
| the moneY as goods offered from
abroad. And it is their duty to Look
at goods offered at home before send
ing their money away. This matter
concerns, the manufacturer as deeply
as the retailer, for if goods are bought
here they may be the goods manufac-
tured here, but Northwestern goods
rarely find their way into the stocks
Of these eastern catalogue houses
If consumer will take the time to
! look about little at home and not
assume that, because goods are offered
from away they mast be cheaper,
much would be gained and every
dollar he spends at home will return
to- him in part at least.

The statement published in connec-
tion with the burning Of the State
University Coliseum that the State
Forestry exhibit at the Worlds fair
was destroyed, is erroneous, in that
this exhibit was installed in the main
building on the State Fair grounds
where it can now be seen. The Edu-
cational exhibit, one of the finest and
most complete at the Worlds fair, and
which rejected so much credit upon
Minnesota. was totally DESTROYED.

IT is peculiar how those papers and
people who parade before the public
the fact that. they are reformers, hate
to have the anarchistic tendencies
which have come to the surface lately,
discussed in a way looking to the
future prevention of the same. 1t is
also peculiar that they will persist in
misrepresenting what they are pleas
ed to call the ''monopolistic press" by
intimating that in referring to this
matter it regards the strike as a
species of anarchy. Such a position
has never been taken by any OF the
papers so far as we have seen. There
has not been at any time any feeling
expressed against the strikers other
than regret that they had entered up
on mistaken course. So-called re-
formers who depend upon such mis-
representation to bolster up their
cause, have not built upon very
sound foundation and are not the
safest kind of counsellors.

NICoLLET AVENUE, Minneapolis, is

A large amount of brick pavement is

when Mankato can pluck up sufficient
enterprise to put in some of this paw

I6Opio Mistake IN POStDOn-

DR.. j. Hobart Egbert says that a large
proportion of the prevalent weakness
and Effectiveness of eyesight is caused
by want of proper care III the manage
ment of children. Children should have.
TO begin with. unlimited air and sunlight
Many mothers are either lamentably
ignorant or culpably careless as TO what
their children should eat. A light and
nourishing diet should De allowed, the
amount of sugar should be reduced to u
minimum, aud candy should be entirely
barred. Weak sight and other ocular
difficulties are often the result of earl,-
straining OF the eyes. Chiidren's books
should invariably be printed in large
type. School-rooms should have good
light aud fresh, wholesome air. The
study of books aiId near objects should
be OF short duration, and should be in
terspersed with black board or other OBJ
ject lessons, which may be viewed from
distance, and with outdoor exercise or
play. The reading OF printed music is a
great strain on the eyesight, and should
invariably be followed by allowing the
ewes TO rest on some distant object, and
Dr. Egbert condemns the use of music

misshapen bodies and weak backs.

causes of headache and allied disorders
after hard days study or close attention
to near objects, as a walk III the country,
where the eyes may be directed upon dis
tant objects and the beauty of the land :
scape may charm the mind. DIR. Egbert
recommends frequent walks in the open
air. the mixing of manual labor with in
tellectual engagements, care with regard
to diet, attention TO bathing, and the
avoidance of the use of the eyes for read

pcrtanL factors in the preservation of the
eyesight. All work, anu especially that
requiring the continued and entire atten-
ton of the visual sense, should be gov
erned by one rule, and stop short oi
fatigue. A change of occupation, a ride
or walk in the open air. a plunge in the
river, and, above all, a good nights sleep,
all help to rest the overiaxed eyes and
restore their strength and tone. Many
people make a great mistake in postpon-
ing the use OF spectacles. An optician
should be sought, and if the eyes require
help, no matter whether the person be
twenty or forty years of age, glasses
should be employed forthwith.

How to stop sunburn.

If you have been badly sunburned.
just as soon as you can procure il apply to
the burned parts a thick coating of white
vaseline, which let remain for ten min
utes or more; then rub it off by applying
soft dry cloth gently; have a bowl of
very hot water brought to yoR and big
linen towel.
Dip the towel in the water, which must
be hot enough to steam, and almost bury
your face in it, but do not touch the skin
with II for some time; you should steam
your face this way for fifteen minutes,
and by that time every drop Of blood in
your body will seem to be in your face
Then call for some hot water and apply
it in soft, gentle fashion to the skin for
fifteen minutes.
Then put on coating of vaseline and
lie down for half an hour; when you get
up you will be as fresh as daisy and
your face will not trouble you in the
least. OF course. the length of time for
treatment will depend upon how badly
you are burned. But an hour ought to
Tx you up all right Apply vaseline
again on retiring.
