Wrinkle. a shellfish resembling in shape
the small snail, says the New York j our
nal. It has hitherto been practically
unknown to American epicures and is
said to be greatly inferior to the
species Of shellfish eaten in this coun-
try.
OF late peEiwinkles have been offered
for sale in a number of stores patron
lied by the New York colony of cock
neys. It is. said that all Of the peri
wrinkles sold in New York come from
New Rochelle. An Englishman living
there was in the habit Of importing
them for his own use. One consignment
was much larger than he expected or
wanted, and he concluded to try an ex-
pertinent and see if they could be grown
in this country.
He dumped about a bushel in the
sound, and, to his surprise and pleas
ure, they seemed to thrive as well there
as in their native English waters. They
multiplied rapidly, and he not only
found ID it unnecessary to import any
more but had more than he could pos
ssibly use. So he has placed them on
sale and is deriving a considerable rev
enue from them.

Postmaster Murphy to Resign.


Notwithstanding the report that Dem.
ocrats never resign, Chris. Murphy, our
postmaster, will, within few days, for
ward his resignation to the postofice
department at Washington. Some time
ago he notified the patrons of his Office
that ne desired to resign the postmas-
tership, and requested that they select
some one for appointment to the posi-
ton. Geo. II. Durfee was immediately
decided upon as the proper man, and he
was waited upon by number of citizens
who requested that he allow his name to
be presented. After some persuasion
he was induced to give his consent
a petition for his appointment is now in
circulation and is beng signed by every.
one to whom it is presented.
Mr.. Durfee is an old resident of Grand
Marais and has filled many Offices of
trust IN the county, and has proven
himself to be gentleman of honor,
integrity and ability. In his younger
days Mr.. Durfee served several years in
the railway mail service, consequently he
will be fright at home" in the handling
OF the mails. -

There are two methods of cleansing
white goatskin rugs. If not very much
soiled, wet soft cloth with naphtha
and rub the hair vigorously, doing a
small portion at time; then hang the
rug upon the line in the open air, that
the odor may disappear. Do this work
IN the daylight and have no fire in the
room while using the napht tina. If it is
necessary to wash the rug, choose a
cool, windy day for the purpose Throw
half 9 pint Of household ammonia into

water. Place the rug in the tub and al

PETRIFlED 81 ONCHO.


Joined the Great Majority While It Was
Asleep.
H. Clay Emmett, a young cowboy
from Bolton, Tex, reports q singular
find made BY him during 9 cattle hunt
ing roundup IN the PAN Handle coun-
try recently, says the Denver Field and
Farm. The find was nothing more: or
less than q petriied pony, standing
erect and complete in all its parts. En-
nett says that he and his partner, j. g.
Woodville, were riding across the prai-
RE late one afternoon when their tired
ponies neighed and Whinnied as if they
were aware of the presence Of another
animal. Looking around, they discov-
cred what they thought was a broncho
tethered to a mesquite which crowned
the summit of a little knoll to the north
ward. #
They rode up to the spot and found
|; that the horse was fastened by q
chain, but stood 50 rigidly and seemed
altogether so mysterious that their own
horses reared and plunged as if in
fright. Finally they dismounted and
found that the pony was petrifed, not
"a hair or hoof amdss. Emmett says
that some ranchman years ago must
have chained the poor horse there, leav-
ing it to starye upon the plains. Asthe
ribs of the animal were plainly visible
in the petrifaction and it seemed to
have been otherwise much emaciated,
this is probably the case. Emmett will
arrange to have the strange find ex-
hibited in some museum. It frequently
happens that horses fall into the habit
of going to sleep while standing, and it
must have been under these, circum-
stances that the Panhandle broncho
departed this life to join the great ma
iority. .a

STOPPING A TRAIN.

Important Discovery That Has just Been
ss' Made In Europe. 80 49,
Some important discoveries have just
been. made in Europe, says the New
York Herald 81.
How to stop train when an accident
is impending has long been a problem.
Many plans have been suggested, but
almost all have been considered faulty
for the reason that they call for quick
stoppage. In such a case the shock
would be SO great that the carriages
between the engine and the rear of
the train would be smashed to atoms
and their occupants crushed to death.
Evidently, therefore, a gradual stop
page is imperative. =
An admirable plan, which enables
train to slow down gradually, has re-
Gently been tested at the railroad sta
ton in Dresden. It is extremely sim
pie and has been found to work we'll.
No intricate machinery is required, and
the cost must he small. A track is laid,
the rails of which sink or slope grad
ually into a bed of sand. AS the train
passes over this sand it's wheels meet
with an ever-increasing resistance,
which soon becomes SO great that they
are obliged to stop. The stoppage, how
ever, is so gradual that there is no
rough shock. The greater the swiftness
Of the train and the heavier the load
the more immediate is the stoppage.
No damage then is possible either as
regards the train or the passengers.
An experiment which was recently tried
with freight train showed clearly the
usefulness of this very practical and
simple plan. ,.s.@ .z. &, =. .s-ss FL

One realizes more and more how
many hundreds of women there are who
never can find use for the remnant, I'm
less it be the wrong one, in which case
it is possession of no use.
But then there are SO many women
in the world who always put thing to
its wrong use, who seem TO take posi-
tive pleasure in misplacing the goods

these women, who, having a Greek CON

costume is a black brocade, trimmed

The most useful remnant is one of
