MRS ELIZABETH PRESTON DAVIS.
From this institution the precocious girl
was graduated at the ago of l8. During
her entire course at this school her grade
In mathematics was never below ton,
which Ia perfect.
Two years later she was graduated from
the Washington Normal SCHOOL, She thon
accepted position as public school teacher
and performed her dutios most satisfao-
torily, at tho sumo time keeping up her
studies and looking forward to the time
when she could go to college,
And that time came. In 1884 tho Cor.
ooran Scientific school Of Columbian uni
versity opened its doors to students Of both
sexes, and Elizabeth Brown wed through
the four years course, receiving e.'e degree
of b. s. In 1883. After that 1t was eusy
for her to find occupation suitable to her
attachments, and her astronomical work
began. In the year of her graduation she
was married to classmate, Arthur Pow.
ell Davis of the geological survey.
Although her interest In the heavenly
bodies is intense, Mrs. Davis Is q great
home body and loves her four little daugh.

The st. Could Times can hardly
believe that Dura Corbin Of Swan
River ia the practically Unanimous
choice OF the people Of Little Falls
for postmaster, and says: This ia
80 ducededly inconsistently odd, that
we.must have the papers, Nyou
mean the local papers. they oil agree
on that statement-just as harmon
ious az though 1t was q county
printing deal. As Mr.. Corbin is the
only known applicant. and is sup
posed to have evervbody's endorse
,nent. the conditions would seem to
warrant the sta tement which the
Times finds 80 odd. The fact is the
federal office appetite has never been
very strong in Little Falls. and
some men who have been offered I'M
portant government positions have
never been in Uncle Sans service.
The Times also denominates Or
grim sarcasm our reference to the
present Administrations friendship
for the Union veterans. OF course
that sentiment may depend on ones
mint O. view, and Comrade Mac
donald has peculiar facilities for
forming his own personal opinions
that should hardly be accepted as a
general standard.

The Minneapolis lumber shipments
for July were the largest they had
been any month In 1895 or 1897.
They were 80. 1S0, 900 feet. The Trad.
journal of that city says:
With the increase in the crops and
the prices for them, 1t is only natural
that there should be change for the
better in the prices for lumber. AL
ready there is a tendency In that
direction. The market is sitter than
it was ON several items, and partic-
ularly on dimension. The advance
will not stop there. The manufact-
u,ers have been running very close
to the profit line for so long that
they are ut length glad to see the
light breaking for them. 1t is not
likely that there will be as great an
advance in the prices for lumber over
those of last year rs there has been
iu the prices for grain. but there will
be an advance before the fall trade Ia
over. that will mean better times for
the lumbermen along with the better
times that have come for other
branches of trade.

veRANoA FURNISHINGS.

Delightful Results Obtained With RsgaA
Curtains, Tables, Chairs, Etc.
There was q time when no thoughs
was given to the furnishing Of veran-

house in the morning and put back al
night, but now 1t has its own special
chairs, which are rarely disturbed un-
til the first frost comes. The idea AZ
making the veranda the most desirable
and cozy place about the house should
perhaps be credited to the women at tho
army posts - those delightful places
where oouventionality is ignored and
where our soldiers and their wives
make the best Of peaceful timea

Canning Berries.

Raspberries, blackberries and blue.
berries are all easily canned in their
own juices, the amount Of sugar to be
used varying according to the acidity of
the fruit and the taste Of the Gamer. A
good general rule for berries is TO place
in the preserving kettle % much sugar
az would be used in stewing the fruit
for present use. To this only enough
water is added to prevent the sugar
from burning while it dissolves.
When the strip boils, put in the ber-
RIGS and let them become well scalded
through, then seal while hot in tho
usual way.

THE RIVER SITUATION.

Minneapolis LuuUerlDdn' AAc
water in the river continues to fall,
and further trouble is unlikely. The
Boom company had some trouble
with the jam at Dunham's island.
and ut one time it looked as though
the whole mass would start for the
Gulf Of Mexico. When they began
turning it was difficult to sort the
logs properly, because of the swift
current, and some of the 'uills got
logs that belonged to some one else.
A number of the logs were also
carried under the boom and over the
falls.
The large supply Of logs above the
Brainerd dam has been started, and
the Boom company ia sluicing them
over. They are being allowed tn
run freely and are joining the mass
of logs in the river at Little Falls
The people of that place are deter
mined that they shall not stay there,
q nd 80 the Boom company IL turning
them over the dam ct that place.
Just how they will he handled is a
problem that is facing the, Boom
company. ALL OF their pockets he
hind the islands between Little Falls
and Minneapolis are full, and there
are $50. OOO, 900 feet at the Durham is-
land works of the company, about
all that the mills will be able to saw
this year. Then there is this vast
number of logs that it does not seem
possible to hold in the open river, to
be taken care of over winter. How
ever the situation is no more serious
than some that the company has al
ready been forced to meet and they
will probably find u way to take
care Of them.
