The Record
BrO ken. !.
The Red River Stands Two Feet Above
the Highest Known Mark.
Big Stone and Traverse Lakes and the
Minnesota River Form Vast Sea
100 Miles IN Length.
The Flood Coming Down the Minnesota
With Huge Blocks Of Ice.

III x y. \ y
The Red River has broken all records
and on Monday stood two feet higher
than during the highwater of 1881. The
Minnesota river, Lake Traverse and Big
Stone Lake form one vast inland sea
over one hundred miles in length. The
Ice, which is still compact mass, is be-
ing driven out Of the lakes into the ov-
erhowed bottoms Of the Minnesota river,
where 1t is apt to do great damage. As
a result the Minnesota is rising rapidly
aud will undoubtedly continue high for
several days.
At ST. Paul the water lacks only two
feet of the '81 mark and is working great
hardship to the great numbers Of people
whose homes are on the flats.
At this place the river lose three feet
and three inches fromSaturday afternoon
t1llMcnday evening. It's now twenty feet
above low water mark and about 6 feet
below the mark of 81, The Eagle Mill
basement is flooded and on Monday, at
noon, it became necessary for the mill
to shut down.
| Capt. Wanzer, who is here watching
the flood for the Minneapolis & St.
Loms people, received 1e.v.s:,m yes
terday that Big Stone Lake was rising
at terrific rate.
There are over two hundred million
feet of logs tied up between Brainerd
and the Mississippi ready at almost any
time to be sent crashing down the river
against the dams and bridges Of st. Paul
and Minneapolis. Great fears are enter
tanned as to the Northwestern and Oma.

Prof. Schaller Writes Letter tothe Globe
- on Certain Clause Of the
Dingley Bill.

The following is the text of a letter,
addressed to the St. Paul Globe by Prof.
Schaller of this city:
In providing for duty Of IS per cent
ad valorem on all books imported from
abroad, the Dingley bill strikes blow
ct large class Of people, who, least of
all, deserve a check upon their aspira-
tions, aud who will feel the duty imposed
as direct attack upon their slender
purses Some show of logical reasoning
IS apparent in the protective policy as
such, butts entirely wanting in this pro-
posal to tax all kinds Of books without
discrimination. There are many institu-
tions in our country which, for special
purposes, use foreign text books, for
which the home market cannot and does
not furnish an adequate equivalent. The
pupils of such institutions are mulcted
by that duty III a manner which cannot
but hamper them sorely in their strug
gle for an edncation. Again, there are
thousands Of advanced scholars who
draw upon foreign literature for insplra-
tion as well as assistance in their special
lines of study, In some branches Of
science, research and advancement are
utterly out of question, unless there is
| free access to- the book marts of Eng
land, Germany and France. This source
of culture would be effectively stepped
| up for large number Of intelligent
| men, whose means are not adapted to
the scale of prices which would be the IN
evitable result Of this particular clause OF
Mr.. Dinglev's masterpiece This plea vii
of course, be Of no.avail with men whose
mental ha-iizon IS co-extensive only with
their immediate surrou oundings and assI
fail to see any iLdlcat tons that q maj orr

small hopes, indeed, that q move will be
made IL the right direct ton Even the
influence OF your paper and its allies on y
j this point will hardly serve as as q check
on the impetus which IS characterlstlc Of

Tales of HumOr.

Two Irishmen were repairing a well
over on Long Island, when suddenly one
of them missed his footing and fell to
the bottom. The other, greatly excited,
leaned over the edge and exclaimed:
4Denny! oh, Denny are ye dead?'
No answer came. Then he called again !:
ssDenny, If you're dead, speak!'
Presently the fellow at the bottom re-
piled:

PREMATURE WRINKLES.

They Are the Record Of Thoughts Forced
ea the Face: ssza
Wrinkles are as natural to old age as
is full, smooth face to childhood. They
are due mainly to certain shrinkage Of
the MUSCLES shrinkage which charac-
terizes more or less the entire system in
the later period Of life. It is in conse-
:quence of this general shrinkage that in
advanced life the height is somewhat
lowered; that the substance of the jaws
contracts, thus often giving rise, by
pressure on the nerves that pass through
the bony canals, to severe and difficult
neuralgia, and that the brain substance
becomes reduced in bulk, water filling
the vacant space. We're it not for the
fixed habits and accumulated resources
Of lifetime an old mans s brain would
not be equal to the work which he still
performs easily. There is, Of course,
much difference between old people in
this respect, which is due largely to
temperament, habits of thought and Of
feeling and modes Of life.
s The papers lately told Of man over
100 years old whose face was wholly
without wrinkles. This was very ex
ceptional case, for the great body of us,
If we attain length Of days. must take
them with the addition Of physical de-
cay Even the proud belle must make
up her mind for wrinkles. but if, as she
grows older, she grows in good sense,
intelligence and kindly sympathies, her
beauty Of character will have an attrac-
ton far beyond beauty Of face. While
wrinkles result from the natural work
ing Of the system, they may also be
caused by perverted condition Of the
system, as are pimples, blotches and
boils.
Now, the human face, unlike that Of
brutes, was meant to be the ..mirror Of
the mind, 3 the visible expression Of ey-
cry passion, emotion and inmost feeling
Herein is its chief beauty; hence its
numerous muscles and nerves, whereby
It is issowonderfnl; adjusted to this end.
But muscles in constant or frequent ex-
ercise increase in volume, strength and
readiness Of action; hence habits Of
thought and feeling become stamped on
# the face, and we read 90 easily the
! character Of the proud, the vain, the de-
ceitful and the sensual laan OF Of the
kind, the calm, the energetic, the frank,
the candid and the honest man. But

The most interesting writing is that
which does not quite satisfy the reader.
When you have something new to say,
say it. ~.
In reading newspapers, learn how to
get their best, without their getting
yours. Remember they are made for
everybody. Don't try and get what isn't
meant for you.
Reading long at one timesin any book,
no matter how 1t fascinates, destroys
thought. Stop, if you find yourself be-
coming absorbed. s
Opportunities approach only those.
who use them. There are SO many who
are content to be without being any thing.
Even thoughts cease bye and bye to vis-
it the idle. 70
Be choice in your friendships. You
can have but few aud the numbers will
diminish as you grow older. Select
minds who are strong and large.
Conversation is a stimulus and the in
toxication it creates is healthful.
The first and main attention Of men
to one another is to listen and be taught,
for We are continually surprised at the
riches OF our fellows.
It is to easy to point out the defects.
Learn TO see the good.
