FROM an esteemed Minnesota con-
temporary we learn that the Common
Council Of the beautiful city of Man
kato, in that State, has enacted an
ordinance providing that "all persons
who shall sing or whistle after the
Ball in that city between the hours
of a. III. and 10 p. m. shall be fined
half dollar for each Offense." The
enactment, while vigorous, does not
seem to be altogether we'll directed.
The boys in this locality, and presum-
ably in Minnesota, do not get onto
their great singing and whistling act
until after 10 o'clock, land therefore
the ordinance does not protect the
slumbers of staid citizens. Again,
the penalty is ridiculously made
quate. 1t should be murder in the
second degree, or at least manslaugh-
ter, and the offense should include
"Boom-ter-a-ra" and "The Old Oaken
Bucket" and Farewell" and various
other public nuisances. The only
thing that should go free is "Irene,
Goodnight, for that means that it

PIG WAS Excnsed.

A bride tells of a difficult moment
Of her recent wedding trip. A few
days OF it were spen. with an uncle
of hers, very deaf and very piOus.
When they sat down to dinner on the
night of their arrival, the uncle asked
the groom to say grace. Much en-
barrassed, as he was uraccustomed to
officiating In this way. he leaned for
ward, murmuring a request to be ex-
cused. WhereTpon the uncle, watch
ing him, only waited until his lips
stopped moving to utter a sonorons
"Amenl" in response. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that the blessing
for that meal went unsaid.

The human body is very delicate
and highly complex organization, and
it is not surprising that 1t sometimes
breaks down for no easily ascertaina-
BILE reason. A farmer met the vii

valued worker and most accom-

death of the venerable Elizabeth p.

a prolific contributor to educational
literature and a warm and enthusi-

principal achievement, and the one
which longest will preserve her MEM

Seven Wonders Of corca.

The Corean "wonders" consist, first. Of

which is capable OF curing sickness and
diseases of all kinds. The second won
der is the two wells, one at each end of
the peninsula, which have the peculiar
Characteristic that when one is full the
other is empty. The water OF the one
is intensely bitter. that of the other has
pleasant and sweet taste. The third
wonder is cold cave from which there
issues constantly an ice cold wind, with
such force that strong man is not able
to stand up against IL. A pine forest
which cannot be eradicated constitutes
the fourth wonde.. No matter what in
jury may be done to the roots the young
trees spring up again like the phoenix
from its ashes. The most remarkable,
however, is the fifth wonder-the famous
lowering stone-which stands, or rather
appears to stand, in front Of palace
erected to its honor. This is a massive
rectangular block, free on all. sides.
Two men standing. one on each end,
can draw a cord underneath the stone
from side to side without encountering
any obstacle. The sixth wonder is hot
stone which has been lying from time
immemorial on the summit OF ahill and
evolving glowing heat. The seventh
Corean wonder is sweating Buddha.
This is guarded in great temple, in
whose court for thirty yards on all sides
