Calls a Moose q Ward.

The State OF Minnesota has ON its
hands one of the most novel suits on
record, and the outcome will be
watched with great. interest by the
legal fraternity, as it will determine
whether or not State is responsible
for tie acts of the game animals which
it protects for several months in the
year.
The plaintiff is1Alexander Phair, q
Willow River homesteader, who was
some days attacked and badly injured
by q moose which he met in the woods
while on his way to Grand Rapids.
The law says moose cannot be killed
for nearly three years yet, and there's
fore PnaIr did not shoot the animal
when it rushed at him. During the
fray Phair was knocked down and
badly cut up.
He arrived at Grand Rapids and at
once INSTITUTED proceedings against
the State to recover damages fer per-
sonal injuries, alleging that the moose!
is ward of the State and the latter
is responsible for the animals acts.
If the case comes to trial, and Phair
says he is in earnest in his suit, he
will urge that he was prevented from
defending himself by the fact that he
would been severely punished had ne
killed the animal. San Francisco
Chronicle.

TYPES OF BUSINESS LIFE.

In the industrial as in other departments,
we divide men into two classes-the success
full and the unsuccessful. In the successful
class there are, at least. two distinct
and different types Of character. The
members OF the class are alike in acquiring
property: they are unlike in almost all else.
The purposes and the methods OF the two
types OF men difrerentiate them. With the
one they are Just and honorable, while with
the other they are uni ust and dishonorable.
The one is blessing to the public, the other
curse. The one succeeds BY in-
dustry. energy and perseverance, or by
foresight, economy and care in management.
He is a minute-man. He throws himself into
his work, doing 1t with his best intelligence
and his might. Whatever he gains he de-
serves 10 gain an d hold as the reward OF
faithful service He has obtained 1t justly.
In making the gain for himself he has been a
blessing to all associated with him-a bless
ing to his village, city or State, as the case
may be. We should never envy such man.
We should rather rejoice at his presence
In the community. His good fortune is in
imical to the good fortune Of no one else.
The man of the other type is quite different
In his aim and methods he is selfish,
unjust and hurtful to everybody about him.
He produces nothing, brings nothing to the
community he is really sponge on the
business Of the place. He absorbs what
others earn. His success means the ruin OF
others about him, for he simply appropriates
what they have gained; he is a thief within
the law. He lives bv his wits and takes ad-
vantage OF the misfortunes OF his nelghDors.
These two types should never be named TO-
cether. They are essentially different. lhe
former ia to be cassed with the benefactors,
the latter with the criminals, of society.

Traces OF Prehistoric Men,.

Some weeks ago a San Diego (Cal.)
newspaper reported interesting dis
coyeries made on the north slope Of
San Miguel Mountain by Herman @.
Cook and G. A. Pauvri, two mining
prosuectors, the discoveries compris-
ing prehistoric roadway, a number
of mining tools and unmistakable
traces of an ancient mining camp.
The stone-paved road was traced to
wall of solid and well.executed mason
ry. This was found to surround an
inclosure, now filled with debris but
which is believed to be an old arastra.
Nesr this srastra was discovered the
mouth of tunnel filed with debris
In the vicinity are also traceable the
foundations of no less than nineteen,
small houses. 1t is believed that the
cleaning of the tunnel and the push-
ing of the Investigation into the tun-
mel will lead to more interesting dis
coveries than any yet made bearing

Enormous Chinese Bells.

One of the largest and finest bells In
the world is in China, and was cast by
order of the founder OF the Ming dy-
nasty. about the time OF the discovery
of America, to commemorate the re-
moyaI of the Chinese capital from Mad
kin to Pekin. 1t is in many respects
the finest work of art in Asis-the
product of native skill-and could NOT
be Duplicated by the highest ability or
resources of Western foundries. 1t
stands fourteen feet high, thirty-four
feet in circumference, nearly one loot
in thickness and weighs over l2O, QUO
pounds. But what makes the bell the
chef d'euvre os Asia is the fact that.
without flaw or defect OF any kind,
it is completely covered, in relief.
both inside and out, with myriads OF
Chinese characters, each one not an
inch in size, consisting OF prayers
from Buddhistic classics. These
prayers are supposed to be acceptabiy
recited every time the bell IS runs.--

WHY THE APPLES DROP.

If the apples that drop from the
trees are examined they will be found
to be injured by maggots inside, these
being the larve of the apple moth,
which lays its eggs on the blossom
end of the fruit when they are very
small or just as the blossoms fall. To
prevent this loss the trees should be
sprayed with a solution of lime and
copper sulphate as mentioned as q
remedy for the potato rot, the paris
green being added. This will not only
kill the young insects as they eat into
the apple, but also destroy the germs
of the scab which Injuries the fruit as
badly as the maggots do. A small ap-
paratus for doing this work may be
procured from the dealers in farm i'm
plements, or from any hardware store.

THE SITTING HEN.

The nest-box for a sitting hen
should be more capaclous than an or.
dinary one, giving her plenty OF eel
bow room" to turn about in and ma
neuvre her eggs to insure successful
Matching. 1t is claimed that q sod OF
grass, cut to tit the bottom of the box
and slightly followed in the middle,
makes the most wholesome and com.
Portable nest hen can have, and one
which enables her to keep her eggs OF
q uniform temperature. The earth OF
the sod neither encourages nor har-
bors vermin. Cedar twigs and pine
needles are excellent to strew in nests,
as they are also auti-verminous. The
nest.box should be busted once week
with air-slaked lime by means OF a
small powder bellows, and the hens
body with Persian insect powder as
soon as she begins sitting, ten days
after, and just before the eggs hatch.
A sitting hen should have a spacious
"run" of laths and chicken wire OF
her own. In it should be placed her
daily rations of food and pure water,
also her dust bath, as she needs more
than her ordinary comforts when sit
ting. Later, when her little ones ar
rive, a coop should be attached to the
"run," taking the place OF the dis:
carded nest. No dishes Of moist food
or water should then be permitted to
stand around, lest the wee chicks fall
in and get damp and chilled, for cold
and wet are fatal to them. A simple
contrivance to prevent small chickens
getting into food or water vessel is
to invert an ordinary kitchen colander
and set it on an earthen pie dish two
inches larger in circumference than it.
self, placing heavy stone on the
colander to keep it stationary. This
will provide a circular space an inch
and half wide and deep for water just
IN their reach, and not deep enough or
wet enough to wet their wee downy
bodies. .-Harper's Weekly.

DIR uNBpLIEE.

Our unbelief is utterly unreasonable and
against nature. Man Is made, not only cap
able of faith, but is necessitated to believe.
In his natural life, even, man must walk by
faith there is much Of the way he cannot see,
he cannot know. Without trusting in others
he cannot do business; and, in fact, society
on earth is held in the bonds OF faith. The
strange thing is that men who learn to trust
in their earthly relations, refuse to 80 beyond.
They will trust everybody but God. whom
they ought to trust above all. And then, when
we come to trust God. 1t Is curious to note
how we are apt to doit. We accept the poorest
OF His promises while We utterly discredit
the best. The church lives on the MOI sells OF
the Gospel because her members never trust
him for the loaf. A small lad went up to
greet a gentleman who had called for
friendly visit. and the caller was so we'll
pleased with the little greeting that he took
out pocketbook knife with four blades and
a pearl handle: the child had never seen one
so elegant. After going away and examining
it on all sides aud opening all the blades, 1t
intend that he should keep 1t. On going
back to make the inquiry be was
assured that he could keep 1t. The
assurance gave him redoubled joy; but the
more he studied the knife, the more he came
to feel that it was too nice for him to keep.
II it had been pewter knife he would have
put it in his pocket without more ado; but
dollar and. a-half knife was too much for him.
So back he bounded to his benefactor and
asked him how long he intended he should
keep the knife. "Forever,' wa, the reply;
"the knife 1 give you to keep" Too much l
They accept smaller favors, but dis
trust Him the moment He offers great
blessings. If He gives US n large blessing.
we hesitate, and on refec ection think He did
not intend we should keep 1t. Oh, how
meanly we think of God! How We Judge
Him by our own narrowness. He finds 1t to
give us any great blessing because OF our un-
belief He never distributes pewter knives.

not only increase the average produ

not only increase the average produc'
tion per acre, but add to the fertility
of the soil at the least possible ex-
pense. One OF the easiest plans OF ac-
complishing the latter is to keep the
stable manure in the best possible con-
dition until hauled to the field. 10
gain this desired end there is 20 sim
rler plan than to keep it under shelter.
This does not entail an expensive
structure the cheapest kind of a
shelter will answer, something like
the one at q, shown built at the end
of a barn where the refuse of the
stable is thrown, or the one at b, To-
Gated alongside OF she'd or other
building. in either cNso posts
may be set in the ground, the
tops being connected by pole or
scanting upon which the ends OF the
roof rest. This roof may be simply OF
boards and should not be less than
twelve feet in length; where four or
more horses or cattle ore stabbed, slx-
teen feet would be better. Another
point which should be borno in mind
is to locate the posts far enough from
the building SO that O wagon may be
driven between them and the struc-
ture. If in the rear Of horse stable,
the side and one end may be boarded
up, affordirg q nice shelter for cattle
that have the range OF the barnynrd.

BACK FROM A STUDY OF SEALS.
Return Of Professor Stcynger From
Alaska-Poachers Reap a Harvest.

Professor Steynger, OF the Smithsonian In
stitution, has returned from the Arctic on
the Russian steamer Kotik. He was sent to
Bering Sea by the Government 70 inquire
into the slaughter OF seals. The GoTern-
ment steamer Albatross took him to the
Pribylov group and thence to Copper Island:
He remained at both these places for several
months and took voluminous notes OF the
coming and going and habits Of the herd.
From Copper Island the Albutross took him
to the Kommaudorski group, on the Russian
side, where be remained until the Kotik
sailed.
He has many interesting facts waich will
net be disclosed, but will be used l'y The
Government when making arrangements Tor
the protection OF the seals next season.
The Kotik brought one Of the most valu-
able cargoes that has come to San Francisc"
this year. 1t consisted of 17.9l0 seal skins.
227 sea otter skins. 13 land otter skins. and
16 sable and II fox skins. Altogether the
consignment is worth in the neiSh5Jrnoo.i
of half million dollars.
Among the passengers who came down on
the Kotik were the agent of the Russian Fur
Company and his wife. The agent says the
seal poarhers reaped q harvest around Cop
per Island, as the Russian and British cruls-
ers were away nearly all the time IN Eastern
waters.
