Infiamed at Sight of an Offensive Bird .
Visitor Wore on Her Hat.
A bridal couple who put in several
days recently taking in the sights of
the capital enjoyed themselves i'm
menscly until the day preceding their
departure. 1t then occurred to the bride
that she had not called upon dear
Fanny" who had been her chum dur
ing her days at the seminary. Now,
Fanny was still enjoying single blessed
ness, and this may have had something
to do with the anxiety Of the bride to
call upon her maiden chum. George de-
INJURED feebly, but at last consented to
pay formal call The bride dressed
herself in fetching gown and placed
upon her saucy head Partisan dream
in the way of hat. The hat was one
Of those indescribable creations Of the
milliner's art, mass of flowers with a
bird or two partially concealed in the
foliage, SO to speak
The pair went gayly forth and in
hotel coupe were soon at the door of
Faniiy's residence. Their cards were
taken and they were ushered into the
drawing room. While awaiting the
coming of her friend the brides atten-
ton was attracted to a large cage con-
tanning a splendid parrot. She chirruped
cooingly to the imprisoned bird and
wished she might take him out Of his
cage and caress him. George remarked
that he looked tame enough and sug-
gested the opening of the door of the
cage. Suiting action to the word, he
opened the door and the released bird
calmly walked forth and strutted
about, blinking his beady eyes know
ingly. The bride, with usual calls Of
"Poll, pretty Poll!'' coaxed the bird to-
ward her, and poll proceeded to climb
up the rounds Of the chair upon which
the lady was sitting and perched herself
upon the arm of the chair. The parrot
uttered cultural cries of Polly, Polly, !"
this word seemingly comprising her en-
tire vocabulary.
The bird accepted the caresses, and
apparently all was serene, but without
an instant's warning she uttered a
scream of rage and flew at the lady s
headgear, alighting fairly thereon, and
then for few minutes the air was fill
ed with flying feathers and bits Of flow
ers, while the atmosphere was fractured
by screams from the bride and discord-
ant cries from the parrot. George at
tempted to come to the rescue and had
his face badly scratched for his pains.
The lady finally shook the bird loose
from the flower garden she was wear
ing upon her hat and made one wild
dash for the front door, followed close
ly by the bridegroom. Once on the pave
ment, they became somewhat composed
and determined to return to their hotel
to repair damages. They did not tarry
long enough to see dear Fanny"
The sudden wrath Of the bird was
evidently caused, George thought upon
reflection Daring calmer moments, by
the fact that amid the flowers in his
wife's hat there nestled stuffed Caro-
line parrakeet, which the parrot took
to be real live rival and proceeded
forthwith to demolish The bride is
now a thorough convert to the teach
ings of the Audubon society. Wash

HEATING MILK.
Warming 1t For Separator by Passing Live
Steam Through 1t.

Steam Through 1t.
George E. Scott tells us in the Ohio
Farmer that he knows of five creamer-
les making No l butter in all respects
which have adopted the method of pass
ing live steam through the milk in or
der to warm it for the separator. Mr..
Scott says:
The accompanying illustration is
something new as a heating device in
creamery work Its use is to displace
the tempering vat SO commonly in use
in most creameries, and which takes
much valuable time to clean, aside from
the often continued roaring noise made
from steam entering the water inside.
Some objections have been raised to
using live steam in milk for heating it
preparatory for the separator, especial
ly in extreme cold weather, claiming
that the excessive expansion causes the
butter globules to become so suddenly
heated as to produce foreign taste in
the churned butter.
Sometimes the water used in boiler
may not be good and harm may come
from that source, but the same steam

Reward of Literature.

Among the women writers OF the cap
ital there is one young matron whose
name is very well known. A few months
ago she sent short story to magazine
which presented itself as an untried field.
By and by she received notification that
the story had been accepted and that in
payment thereof her name had been put
on the subscription list for one year.
The author Immediately returned an
swer that the compensation was not adj
equate.
''Dear madam the editor wrote
back, yours of such a date received.
We have put your name on the subscrip-
ton list for two copies each month. "
And for fear that further correspond
ence would burden her with three cop
les of the magazine she was forced to be
content with that Washington Post.

Dress Reform For Babies.

The latest invention in the dress re-
form for babies which is rapidly be-
coming more popular, is that all the
garments can be put on at once. The
first garment is princess slip of fine
flannel or crepeline, made with high
neck and long sleeves. The next is a
sleeveless garment of nearly the same
shape and material, and last comes the
nainsook dress. All three fasten to-
gether at the back with three buttons.
The abdominal band is sheer and not
tight, and the feet are left bare.

= NEW WOMAN.

She's up to date and strictly new,
And yet she's not afame with zeal.
She wears no skirt that's sewed in two,
She is not skilled to ride wheel.
Her sex s wrongs she does not feel.
No public scheme her thoughts pursue,
And yet, the fact can't conceal,
She's very new.
Her souls ideals are scant and few,
Yet not by man is she controlled,
And, though her eyes are deeply blue,
No occult force her glances hold.
She cares not for the days of old,
Nor does the future charm her view.
She does not work for fame or gold,
And yet she's new.
All homage at her shrine is due.
Her claim no mortal elares to scorn.
She from the infinite takes her cue

causes of impure blood, or its far-reaching
effects. When mans digestion is disor-
dered, his liver sluggish, his bowels mac
tive. the blood is deprived of the proper
food elements, and the sluggish liver and
bowels supply in their place, the foulest
of poisons. The blood is the life-stream.
When it is full of foul poisons, it carries
and deposits them in every organ and It's
sue of the body. Bone, sinew, muscle, and
fesh-tissue, the brain cells and the nerve
fbres are all fed upon bad, poisonous food.
Serious ill-health is bound to result. The
man is weakened in every fiber of his body:
He is weakened physically, mentally and
morally. He suffers from sick headache,
distress in stomach after meals, giddiness
and drowsiness, loss of appetite and sleep,
bad taste in the mouth, shakiness in the
morning, and dizziness throughout the day,
and 1assitude and an indisposition to work.
Sooner or later these conditions develop

rheumatism, or some blood or skin disease.

men in the field handle the bundles
with forks, putting them in nearly the
right position on the load. The labor
in loading and unloading is much less
with bundles than with loose corn.
Two men are needed at the cutter,
one to feed and one to cut bands chang
ing with alternate loads. The corn cut
in one-quarter inch lengths is delivered
in the silo through dormer window.
Inside it falls on an inclined carrier and
is landed in the center of the silo, which
is round and 20 feet in diameter. One
man is kept in the silo most of the time
to keep the corn evenly distributed over
the surface For covering damp saw
dust is spread on the corn to the depth
of four inches. The silo is opened when

DEALING WITH THE TRAMP
NUISANCE.

The question of what to do with
the tramp seems to have been solved
so far as Renville county is concerned.
About year ago the sheriff there
called a meeting Of representative
men from eleven villages Of the county
to consider. the tramp nuisance and
see what could be done to abate it. AS
result of this meeting the various
villages appropriated small sums of
money for the care of tramps showing
a willingness to work. The method
of procedure and the manner in which
it worked is reported as follows:
Tickets were printed by the village
authorities and distributed to every
family, with the request that to each
tramp applying for food one of these
tickets be given. The ticket itself
was an order upon the village marshal
for one meal or one nights lodging at
the option of the holder. The tramp,
upon presenting this ticket to the
marshal, was to be placed al work up
on the streets Of the village for two
hours, after which he would be fed.
The end sought for was attained, but
not in the manner expected. 1t was
found that the tramp invariably took
the first train that would get him be-
yond the limits of Renville county.
In the village of Morton over 1000
tickets were given to tramps, and yet
the marshal received but one. Morton
is only a few miles from Redwood
Falls, in another county. During the
past summer Morton has been neg
lected by the tramps, while the au-
thorities of Redwood Falls report
greater number of tramps than ever
before"
If every community would adopt
this plan the tramp nuisance would
soon be abated, and the tramp would
be obliged to earn his living by the
sweat of his brow, like other people.

IN SPLENDID SHAPE.

The Citizens Fire Association OF
Mankato has just completed an ex-
haustive and painstaking investiga-
tion of it's business for the past year,
and the showing is unexpectedly
good. The growth Of the business OF
the association for the three years of
it's existence has been steady and
permanent, and to-day it shows about
$4,000, 900 worth of insurance in force,
and the policies are among the best
possible risks in fire insurance.
Every man who has carried insurance
with the Citizens has saved money in
the past and by continuing business
with it will save money in the future.
Beginning forthwith the associa-
tion will push it's business with more
vigor than ever and the year 1898
will no doubt witness large additions
to it's polic7 holders.

ATE THE BOARDS.
A Horse Ound Nearly st arved in a West
MankatO Barn.

Chas. Beckwith reported an aggra-
waited 'case of cruelty to animals to
Officer Daniels Monday. In barn
in West Mankato, he found horse
that was on the verge Of starvation.
The animal had evidently been in the
barn without anything to eat for three
or four days, and had tried to satisfy
the cravings of hunger by eating the
boards and timbers within reach. Mr.
Beckwith states that he never saw
boards eaten away as badly as these
were. Neighbors gave the horse food
and drink, and Officer Daniels noti-
fed the owner that he must care for
the animal. The latter is four year
old colt and would be valuable horse
if cared for, but was so poor and weak
yesterday that it reeled about in the
barn.
The owner of the horse is said to be
a man named Trusty, who has now
taken the horse to the country with
him, where he is going to cut wood.
