he imagined he felt a moving object in

But 1t Took q Surgeons knife to Remove
His swcetheart's Picture.
Many years ago, when very young
and poor, one Of Waterbury's now most
eminent and wealthy bachelors fell SO
deeply in love that he had the likeness
of his sweetheart tattooed upon his
right arm. The young woman's parents
wanted their daughter to make another
match, and though both the young peo-
pie declared they would surely die if
not allowed to marry their engagement
was at last broken for all time. They
remained steadfastly in love with each
other, however, for many years, but
finally, so hard pressed was the girl by
her parents and a rich sutton, she resign
ed hope and became the wife of the man
chosen by others.
Every one thought the deserted lover
would forever remain a bachelor, and
as year after year found him yet single
it was said that he had not forgotten
his youthful affair. Recently, neverthe-
less, having meanwhile achieved money
and distinction, the hero Of this tale
offered himself to one Of Derby Conn. }

accepted Oh condition that he have the
sentimental mark Of his early love eras-
ed from his arm.
DR.. Stivers Of Monroe performed the
painful but not serious surgical opera

bachelors old time sweetheart from his
arm. Only an ugly scar will remain to
show the devotion, and, as the new love
declares, TIE folly of youth.-New

Two Million individuals From = Single

The old line Of pseudo scientists, the
superstitious, self-styled scholars" Of
the early part of this and the latter
part of the eighteenth century, be-
Heved that filth would breed microbes,
but, as the absurd idea of "spon-
taneous generation" has long since
been exploded, it will not be discussed
in this ''note," which is solely intended
to explain the manner in which mi
crobes multiply. There are several
species of these minute creatures and
they have various ways of reproducing
their species, but the most common is
what the investigators term ''repro-
duction by fssure." If, with a strong
microscope. we carefully watch mi
crobe for short time we see a ICON
striction" appearing on each side in
the center of the body. This soon
shows itself in the shape of line
across, and then. all of sudden, the
microbe separates in the middle and
behold, we have two in place of one!
Each of these rapidly increases in size
until they are as large as the original.
when the miracle of the side spots and
transverse line appears and in place of

Novel Project For q. Line ON the CANADIAN
+ Border.
William E. Seeley, resident of
Braine1d, Mimi, but now in the Rainy
Lake gold country, has in process gof
completion project to build a railroad
from Tower to Rainy Lake City, on the
Canadian border, over a route whereSan
ordinary railroad could scarcely be run.
But the road planned by Mr.. Seeley
will not be an ordinary one in any sense
of the word, and his plans and specifca-
tions are already attracting conside rable
attention from railroad men and ma
chinists generally. sSs
: The track Of Mr.. Seeley's road will
consist of a single rail instead Of two,
and the papers Of that section are a.
ready referring to it as the one legged
road. The great advantage claimed FOR
this road is its cheapness, it costing less
than one-half as much as regular dou-
BILE track, standard gauge road to con
struct and operate. A row of pilingis
driven, and the single rail is laid on top
of this piing seven or eight feet. from
the ground. The cars are to be con
structed so that the floor is about five
feet below the level of the rail, and
each side of the cars will be loaded Jas
nearly equally as possible, so that the
vehicle will ride easily and smoothly.
That the cars cannot be upset WILDE
seen at glance, as the weight in them
will be below the rail. The piles arctic
be set 10 or 10 feet apart and will be
capped with heavy wooden beams, upon
which the single rail will rest. It's
claimed by Mr.. seeley that such road
has already been operated successfully
and that, he has demonstrated by models
that the plan will be a success in this
case. One Of the great needs OF the
northern part Of Minnesota ID railroad
from Tower to Rainy Lake City, and
the residents of those places arc more
than enthusiastic over the proposed line.

TO MAKE a HoTeED.

A hotbed of convenient size for the
farmer NAV be made as follows: The
frame may be 10 inches high at the
rear and IA inches in front from the
level of the ground, and covered with
sash Of any desired size. The boards
are nailed together at the corners,
fastened to 2x3 inch scantling, but
gardeners first make pit, l foot deep,
and use frame "a inches at the rear
and % inches at the. front, according
to the kinds of plants to be grown. The
height at the front, however. depends
on the width of the bed. -
T. Fresh horse manure, free from lit
ter, is generally used. 1t is the fer
mentation of the manure that creates
the heat. If the manure is too loose
it may create heat moro rapidly than
desired. It is better to nix the ma
nure in a pile, allow. is to heat some,
and then turn it over and well mix it
again before using it in the hOtbed.
Having trampled the manure firmly
cover withsrich dirt to which has been
added one-fourth it's bulk of fine, we'll
rotted manure. There should be no
humps, stones or pebbles in the hotbed.
If necessary, sift the dirt. The thick,
ness of the dirt should be about
inches AS there will then be about
q foot of space between the dirt and
the sash (the hotbed being "a inches at
the rear) ample air space will thus be
provided. If the manure does not heat
up quickly and is slow sprinkle the bed
well with hot water, first adding q
small quantity of air Stacked lime to
the water. If too much heat is gen.
Grated use cold water alone. When the
heat reaches about 60 degrees plant the
seeds in rows, but more warmth will
be required for the young plants
later on.
The frame Shout Id be we'll banked up
with dirt to prevent the effects of the
frost. The object should be to main
tain as even temperature as possible.
On clear, warm days the sash may be
raised slightly in order to admit air
during the middle of the day, but this
will depend on many circumstances.
The better plan is to hang thermom-
eter in the hotbed, and to visit; it fire.
quently. As the heat from the manure
decreases the weather will become
warmer. Gradually accustoin the
plants to the atmosphere as much as
possible, and transplant to the cold
frame such as may be suitable for that
purpose. Some sort of covering should
be used over the sash at night, such as
an old carpet, with few loose boards
over the carpet. The temperature of
the atmosphere must be the guide in
as the plants must not
be kept too warm or become liable to
being chilled.-Farm and Home.

Indian Squaws In Boomers.

A party Of California tourists, the
feminine portion of which wore bifur-
Gated garments, invaded the Sierra for
est reserve not long ago. The sight Of
boomers caused visible commotion
among the squaws of the Digger tribe,
who have long worn wrappers of bril-
liant hue and enormous pattern. Natur-
ally the "womanly" aborigines were
disguised at first sight with the baggy
garments Of their feminine visitors. But
the Indian squaw proved amenable to
logic, and after hearing the advantages
#of boomers set forth they borrowed a
pattern, and by morning had converted
their gorgeous calico wrappers into the
most remarkable boomers yet seen, east
or west. .@ag H.

WANTS A BLANKET DIVORCE
Yellow Bonnet Has Four Wives and
Wishes to Be free. Eg&|

Wishes to Be Free. E#.
Yellow Bonnet, Cheyenne Indian,
has applied for a blanket divorce from
four wives at Tologa, o. T. 1t isthe
first time that an Indian has sued for g
divorce in Oklahoma. %$
Yellow Bonnet gives as his reasons
for his action that he has recently en-
braced the Christian religion and cannot
live polygamous life; also that his
wives have refused to become Chris
tians. He asks for the custody Of only
one Of his 10 children. Z
1t was at first thought that it was not
necessary to ask for divorce, as the
laws of Oklahoma forbid polygamy. "A
few lawyers held to that idea, but other
lawyers contended that as he married
the four wives under the tribal laws,
recognized partially by the government
and before the statutes of Oklahoma ex-
listed, he could not be separated from
them except by process Of the laws now
prevailing. @G;ssss
This opinion finally prevailed, and
the divorce application was filed. That
Yellow Bonnet is sincere in preferring
Christianity to four wives is shown by
the fact that each Of the wives and chill
dren has now q nice allotment Of land
and several hundred dollars Of trust
funds coming from the government. g.
The wives will consent only to a
"blanket'' divorce. for they are afraid
to allow the cases to be taken up 'sepa-2
rately for fear that Yellow Bonnet after
getting rid Of three Of them would keep
the fourth, and as there is intense jeal-.
ousy existing among them the attorneys
could not persuade them to consent to-
single suits. New York Recorder. !.

Bicycles and the Book Trade.

The latest charge brought against the
bicycle is that it INJURIES the booksellers
trade. Books never have the same sale
ii summer as in winter, despite the
fact that paper covered novels are in de-
mand by the loungers on the seashore,
but this year there is said to be more
than usual depression in the trade. The
wheelman is blamed for this, as it il
logically argued that while INDUCING
in his favorite pastime hecannot posi-
bly, be reading a book, and that when
He gets home from his spin he il too
tired to read. As the cycling craze is
constantly increasing the result Of its
growth upon literature would make an
interesting study.-Philadelphia Rec

ment is made here that General Counsel
Cromwell's resignation had been de-
manded by Receivers Bigelow and Me-
Henry, and that he will step down and.
out within 30 days. The demand was
made, it is said, because Cromwell was
identified with the Adams faction and
this would tend to make his services
undesirable.
