MANY Of the recent bank failures
were caused by investing the deposits
in too many enterprises. When the

A MINES OTA DAY.

"A MIN EoOIA DAY. $50
The suggestion Of the State superin-
tendent of public instruction that a.
Minnesota day" should be observed
in our public schools throughout the
State, is a good one. By this we do.
not mean the admission of another hol-
lday to the list. There are already.
plenty of those, perhaps too many.
But if certain day in the year, com
menorating some Important event in
our history, should be designated as a.
proper occasion for instruction in our
history. it would be a splendids idea.
The feeling Of pride in the State and
loyalty to it should be fixed early in
our youth. The deeds of the pioneers,
the hardships which they endured, the
place that Minnesota occupied in the
struggle for the preservation Of the
Union, the story of our material de-
velopment, all of these should be as
familiar facts III the minds Of our bows
and girls as events that. have happened
in their own families. The mere dry
bones OF such events as they aresset
forth in our history present few attrac-
tions to the minds Of the young. But
If they were made the special topic for
asset day in the year, if men who are
familiar with the story Of the State
were invited to tell it to the children,
and # all the exercises Of the school
room were made to center about this
theme it would be we'll for the State
and for the nation. We approve the
recommendation and hope to see the
steps taken necessary to put it. into
practical effect.-Red Wing Republican,,

Eating in an oven.

Some years ago a Spaniard named
Marines gave one of the most extraor-
binary exhibitions on record. 1t was at
the New Tivoli, in Paris, in the pres
ence of an audience &C. scientific men,
who have placed its Z uincness beyond
doubt. A large oven lad been heated
by furnace for several hours
This the Spaniard entered, clothed in
flannel trousers and shirt, large cloak
of the same material and a felt som
brero. He sang a song while fowl was
roasted by his side, and at the end of 10
minutes came out again, the tempera
ture registered being between 900 de-
grees and 312 degrees f., or about 100
degrees above the temperature of boiling
water.
He entered the oven second time
and ate the fowl which had been roast
ed beside him. After short pause he
was shut III, lying on board surround
ed by candles. After awhile the audi
ence raised cry of 'Enough!'
The door was opened. The oven was
found to be full Of Il noXious, su1focat-
ing Odor of boiling tallow, the sole sur
vival of the candles. The Spaniard came
out, and after IA cold bath was well and
strong. His pulse, when the door was
first opened beat l76 to the minute. -

Wonderful Power.

The power of Imagination is anus
ingly illustrated in the story told Of
an old lady who had never heard tho
celebrated violinist Paganini play,
and one day obtained permission to
attend "a rehearsal of one of his con-
certs.
1t so happened that Paganini did
not take his violin with him to the
rehearsal that day, but borrowed
one from member of tho orchestra,
and instead of playing as usual SIM
ply kept up n kind of pizzicato &C
compartment.
After the rehearsal the old lady
went up to Mr. Cooke, the musical
director, and said in a burst of en-
thusiasm: con, dear, Mr.. Cooke,
what a wonderful man he is l de-
clare never knew what music was
capable of till this morning."
Indeed, madam, he is truly a
marvellous man, assented Mr.. Cooke
with a smile, "but this morning you
are indebted rather to your imagi-
nation than your ears for the delight
you have had, for Paganini has not
really played at all. He has not even
touched bow"
"Well, " said the old lady, after q
moments astounded silence, recov-
ering herself, "then all can say is
he's even more remarkable than 1
thought he was For if he can affect
me in such manner without play
ing, what should I do, how should
l feel, when he really did playp"-

Domestic Arrangements, 14th Century

Carpets We're unknown Injuries, but
the fashion of strewing the apartments
with rushes was being gradually aban
doned. BUSHES We're still used in the re-
tainers hall, but for the better rooms
sweet scented herbs and fragrant twigs
We're usually employed.
In the fourteenth century windows
Were apertures filled with glass so as to
admit light, but to exclude wind The
walls also were frequently hung with
cloth or tapestry to protect the inmates
of the room from the many currents of
air that penetrated the strong but badly
built walls. We learn from various an
Gent documents that it was the duty of
the serving men and pages to sweep out
the principal apartments, but as the use
of water is rarely mentioned damp and
fragrant leaves and twigs must have
aided not only in collecting the dust,
but also toward refreshing the atmos-
phere in such constantly closed rooms,
fresh air being only admitted through
the doors opening on to the battlements
or balconies.
From old inventories at Thurleigh
and elsewhere we ascertain how scantily
furnished We're these ancient mansions,
although they seem to have been album
dainty supplied with fagons and drink
ing cups in gold, silver and finely en-
graved pewter, besides an infinite mum.

Anglers Petroleum Emulsion is that

1t makes the tissues inhospitable and

feeding ground, die, pass out of the system.
That is one thing that Anglers Petro-

The other thing is that it ye6nilds those

Feline Women.

Why is it that "felinity''--for want of q
better word-seems to be an almost who'll
ly feminine attribute? Rarely if ever do
you come across IA man with that small,
sly, stealthy streak in his nature that we
recognize us "caUty.' 1t isn't innate to
man, and ne hasn't time to cultivate it.
Yet among women it is unusual not to
find some traces of it even in the largest,
kindliest natures II is chiefly engender-
ed by sewing sor cites ana the like-in
other words, narrow lives. Although
"small' in one sense and although, of
course, by no means ranking with the sew
en- deadly sins, this feline quality manages
TO play some pretty desperate havoc in the
world. 1t makes mischief wherever ID
goes Gossip, buSybodyishness, malice,
uncharitablcness, Islander and many an
other peace destroying thing must follow
