Col. Theodore Roosevelt gave some
good advice to the trough riders" who
fought under him at Santiago, before
they were mustered out. Don't pose
as heroes" he said, cor lie on your
laurels, because they wlther. BE care
full of your conduct. The world will be
kind for ten days, and then, in those
cold words that the world Is capable
of speaking, It will declare you're
spoiled by going 30 the war" Here Is
a good-humored recognition that mill
tary glory Is transient, especially in
this country. War Is a rare episode in
our national history. The duties chief
ly exacted Of Americans are those Of
personalities In private life, integ-
rlty In business, good citizenship. At
ter the Clvll War the great majority
OF the volunteers who took part In 1t
went back to their ordinary occupa-
lions. Foreign observers were amazed
to see our great armies quickly dis
solved into quiet citizens, pursuing
peaceful work. But there were some,
and among them soldiers who had been
bravest, Of whom their neighbors may
well have said, 30 use Colonel Roose-
velt's phrase, that they had been
Spoiled" by the war. They had lost
all desire for useful, but hum-drum,
activities, and became dissipated and
worthless. The war with Spain has
taken into our armies only a small
fraction Of our citizens, compared with
the number who enlisted in the civil
war, but It will be great thing If
the soldiers who are mustered out
take into the duties of civil life the
courage, endurance and patriotism
which have been shown by so many Of
them In the remarkable campaign just
ended.

PORTRAIT MADE BY A RIFLE.
Admiral schiey's Picture Drawn by
Nearly 800 shots.

Nearly 800 shots.
Adolph Toepperwein, the champion
shot of the world, has been giving inter-
estlng advice to the rifle experts who
are to contend next year for the Queens
prize at Bisley, England.
The first thing to keep in mind,' he
says, lis the fact that one cannot give
the gun too much attention. Above all
things, clean 1t after emptying the mag
azine. The beginner should shoot at a
bulls eye say twenty feet away, firing
just as soon as he gets the sight imme-
diately under the lower edge Of the disc.
The bulls eye should be at least two
inches in diameter at first In few
days you will find that you can hit the
mark ten times out of fifteen. Then de-
crease the distance gradually until you

One Of the most interesting and Inn
portant Of recent contributions to the
science Of oceanography Is the chart
and paper recently presented to the
Royal Society of London by Sir John
Murray, naturalist to the famous chal-
lenger expedition Of 1873. The cele-
brated Scottish geographer and scien-
list has spent many years In the prep
aration Of the chart he has now given
to the world, and It's practical utility Is
even greater than It's scientific interest.
II was made as a result Of numerous
sea surveys by himself and others, and
shows the annual range Of surface tenn
perature Of the ocean for every two de-
grees square from the Arctic to the
Antarctic circle. The value of such a
chart Will readily be recognized by sea-
men, though Mr.. Murray concerns him
self chiefly with the relation of marine
temperature to biological phenomena.
Every one knows that sea temperature
Is more uniform than that Of the land.
but It Is somewhat surprising to learn
from these charts that the mean daily
range of temperature of the surface
waters of the Atlantic is only 8 OF a
degree, and that II is probable that no
where on the ocean is there n greater
daily change average than 1 degree
Fahrenheit, whereas on land a range Of
Of degrees has been observed In South
America in four hours.

The State Fair.

A copy of the premium list of the
Minnesota State Fair for 1898 has been
received, Minnesota's State Fairis be-
ing carefully managed, and, as
ought to be the case, is constantly
growing. It will be held September
$40 inclusive upon the Star Fair
grounds, midway between the Twin
Cities, as usual. The premium list
has been literally revised. Special
attention is given to the live stock ex-
hibits. and efforts are being made to
secure the best possible types of all
the breeds of each class of the DOM
estic animals. 1t will be worth much
to the farmers Of the state to go to
the fair and study these animals; see
them judged by expert judges, and
thus learn their characteristics and
qualities. There are increased premi-
ums in the dairy department, the
woman's department and in both the
agricultural and horticultural depart
ments. One thousand five hundred
dollars are offered for county exhibits.
The main building will be made more
attractive than ever and the machin-
iery. honeyforestry and mineral ex-
hibits will, each be given the careful
attention merited by these important
Industries. The amusement program
is to be greatly strengthened as well
as the exhibition features. The bus
mess men Of ST. Paul have contribut-
ed purse of S., 900 for a pacing race
and the business men of Minneapolis
a like amount for troting race. The
contribution Of these sensational
events makes it possible for the Agri-
cultural Society to announce by far
the best amusement program ever
witnessed at a state fair. Send a
postal card request to E. w. Randall,
Secretary, Hamline, Mimi, and
copy of this premium list will be mail
ed to you.
