Plural. Of Noun. Ending In 90.

Plurals Of Nouns Ending In aO.s
In the formation Of the plural Of
nouns with this ending the general
rule is that es is added to the singular,
as in potatoes, oargoes, buffaloes, yet
the following words add only q: Grotto.
junto, canto. oento, quarto, portico,
octave, ~duodecimo, tyro, solo (all, by
the bye, foreign words), and also all
nouns ending in 10, as folio, folios; On,
In fact, whenever o is Immediately pre-
coded BY q vowel, as cameo, embryo,
etc. A notable popularity is to be OBJ
served with regard to nouns substantive
ending with the sound Of O. If they be
words Of more than one syllable, they
for the most part end simply in 0, but
il only Of one syllable, they take an 9
after the Q, thus. canto, potato, quarto,
hero. but doe, foe, roe, sloe, toe, woe,
etc. Yet other monosyllables, not nouns
substantive, have no final 9, as 60, To-
no.-Ldterature Of Typography.

W.. c. T. u.

Last Wednesdays meeting of the w.
G. 7. U. was made very interesting by
the address of our delegate from the
state convention held at Park River.
1t was a convention full of interest.
Some of the best speakers of the
county were present and gave some
fine addresses, notably Mrs Barker and
John g. Woolley, and all who attended
must have concluded there is a great
work being done in a quiet way BY
this organization.
In the state there is now a member
ship of 1855, having added over 500
members to its rolls for two con
secutive years. They received from
all sources last year s2,760 and dis.
bursed s2,olO.sl.
The citizens of Park River gave the
delegates a right royal welcome, crowd
ing the house at the public meetings.
The taking in Of s12O on Saturday
evening at the doors speaks much.
We hope some day in the near future
to be able to offertheml like hospitality
in III city.
The meetings r a blessing to any
community and we would like to see
our people 1ocking to this kind, of
entertainment and instruction as they
now do to a circus.
Our local union will hold a mothers
meeting next Wednesday afternoon
at Ais O'Clock in the parlors Of Pres
byterian church. Come along, white
ribboners, and bring a friend or two
with you. Everybody welcome.

There is no disguising,t the fact that
the wet weather has caused q great
Idealsof damage to grain in this county,
Of which it is estimated that from 40
TO 90 per cent. is yet unthreshed. All
wheat that is in the shock lis more or
lessinjured. Examination shows that
the bundles on the north side Of the
shocks, where they have had the full
benefit of the rains, are badly damaged
and that in many cases the grain has
spronted. ThisssoS course, is worth
less. The bundles In the center and
on the southern sides Of the shocks,
being protected to q certain extent,
are in better condition. The FAX crop
is also In bad shape. Very little flax
has yetE been threshed.
There are some sections Of the
county where ~threshing machines are
needed and where very little
of any kind has YET, been
done. This is said to be the case in
Ontario, Noonan and Cleveland town.

some alarm is the fact that the labor
ing men are rapidly leaving the coun-
try. They have become tired Of wait
fngfor dry weather and have com
menced leaving for Minnesota, where.
they expect to find werkin the woods

The weather has apparently cleared
again, but it will be several days yet
before threshing onght to be resumed,
as everything is thoroughly soaked.

READING SEALED LETTERS.

BE Accomplished.

A German Scientist Shows How This May
Be Accomplished.
It is not generally known that sealed
letters may in many cases be read with
out opening the envelopes or doing them
the least injury. 1t was discovered by a
German Psychologist by the use Of an
embryoscope. or egg glass, that the
shells of eggs were Of very unequal
thickness.
It occurred to him to make expert
ments in order to ascertain how many
leaves Of ordinary letter or official pa
per must be laid above and below 8
written leaf in order to make it illegible
to o highly sensitive eye in the direct
sunlight. He found that after he had.
rested his eye in a dark room for 10 or
is minutes he cold read o piece Of writ
ing over the mirror Of the embryoscope
that had been covered with eight layers
of paper.
he. called in. other observers to con-
firm this. The letters, however, that
could thus be deciphered were written
in dark ink on one side Of the paper
only. Il four written sides were folded
together, and especially il there had
been crossing, it was hard tomake ont
the drift Of the writing, and there are
some kinds Of writing which, when
folded twice or thrice, admit too little
light for the purpose Of displacement.
In this way possibly many Of the per-
formances Of "clairvoyants'' may be ex-
planned. By means Of the egg glass it
ia as q rule, easier to make out the con-
tents Of letter or telegram without the
slightest tampering with the envelope
than it is to detect the movements Of
the embryo in the egg.
Suppose the writer Of q billet, the
contents Of which are known only to
himself, let's it ont Of his hand and loses
sight Of it for i've minutes. It may be
readily carried either into the direct
sunlight or into electric or magnesium
light and be read by the aid Of the egg
glass The placing Of q piece of car
fridge paper in the envelope or the col
oring Of it black is a means Of defense
at hand.

than Henry Hale. He has been county
auditor for ten years and appreciates
fully the Inconsistencies and weak

that Finley Chisholm, who was nomi-

that it really does not greatly signify
whether he has an opponent or not.

Statement.

i. sa1-aH
Since my nomination as candidate
to the Office Of states attorney Of this
county, 1 have been repeatedly asked
what would be my attitude, in case of
election,toward the enforcement OF the
Prohibition law. To an honest man
who has any regard for his oath there
can be only one answer to this query.
Violation Of the liquor law differs in
no essential from violation Of any
other statute and it is the duty Of the
states attorney to prosecute the
illicit rumseller with the same rigor
that he prosecutes the embezzler or
the burglar. II the voters Of Ramsey
County shall see ft to elect me to this
most important Office I shall do my
whole duty without fear or favor and
to the best Of my ability. If the law is
bad its strict enforcement will un-
doubtedly result in a speedy repeal
and il it is q good law the more strict
its enforcement the better for society
in general. s

Christians Gifts for Che Soldiers.
The work connected with raising
funds with which to purchase Christ
mas gifts for the soldier boys from
Devils Lake now in Manila was del
egated by Mayor NSerumgard to
Mesdames Elliott and Way, who have
been very successful. Withoutt ex.
ception all with whom they came in
contact were glad to contribute to so
worthy q cause and their collections
already amount to nearly 800.
A separate parcel will be made up
for each member OF Company D.. This,
Of course, will not interfere with the
presents sent to individual members
by friends and relatives, but the ladies
propose to see that every one is re-
membered. The presents will CON
sist Of useful articles, such as towels
and soap, handkerchiefs,pooke knives,
pins and needles, thread, buttons, etc,
etc. Also q plentiful supply Of plug
tobacco, which is said to be q scarce
article in the Philippines. II is not
thought advisable to attempt to send
anything in the shape Of eatables, as
the distance is 80 great.
Mayor Serumgard has been in COR
respondence with Mayor johnson, of
Fargo, who has arranged with the
railroads for free transportation to
San Francisco for all contributions.
The railroads ask, however that the
goods be collected at some central
point so that they can be shipped to-
getber, and consequently they will
probably be sent to Fargo.

1t was this that caused q division
in the Republican ranks. Bat hap
PLY there was way whereby the
peoples desires could be attained
peacefully, thanks to our liberal form
of government-by ballot instead OF
the sword. This is manifested in the
wording of the platforms of the two
great predoninating parties Of the
state, either of which, if honestly car
ried out by the legislature will be
satisfactory to the people. Here,
however, is where the rub comes, and
due precaution should be exercised by
the voters of every county to send
men to the legislature who cali be
trusted to carry out the pledge of
their respective party platforms.
Pierce County, we believe, proiting
by the mistakes of the past, has made
a good beginning in the selection of an
honest and trustworthy man to rep
resent the county in this capacity SO
far as the Republican party is con-
cerned and one who can be depended
upon to represent it in the interests
of the people instead of either those
of the "machine" or the cor
porations. If the Democrats do as
we'll in the selection of good men both
in this, and every other county in the
state the party pledges will be carried
out and thepeople's demands attained.

Well Balanced Rations.

Professor II. W Wiley says it is en-
tirely mistake to think that all sorts
of bread are wholesome. The best ra-
ton is one which in scientific language
is we'll balanced-that is, one in which
there is certain definite proportion ex-
listing between the starch or sugar, the
protein matter and the fat. The bread
made from wheat -four contains these
elements in we'll balanced proportions.
The effect of added starch in the -four
made from wheat would be to increase
Unfortunately the proportion of starchy
matter, and thus the bread would prove
the unbalancing of the whole diet Of the
eater For instance, he would be re-
quired, for one thing, to eat additional
quantities of meat containing certain
proportions of fat Then, again, the ex-
cess of starch in such bread would
tend to interfere with the digestion of
the protein matters in the stomach, and
here indigestion might creep in, for
starch, while not in itself an unwhole-
some food, produces, if eaten in abnor-
NAL quantities, arrangement of the di-
gestive organs, just as any other article
of food, such as protein or fat, used in
excess would impair the natural proc
esses of digestion. So Professor Wiley
advises housekeepers who have got into
the habit Of favoring overstarched bread
to do so no longer. Chicago Record.

quently "send US off. . An ingenious
gentleman has produced a machine for
this purpose. It is box surmounted by
two fanlike panels one above the other,
revolving horizontally in opposite d.
rections These panels are studded with
mirrors that throw upon the retina a
vibrating food of twinkling light. A
similar effect is produced by staring at
a bright ball placed high above the
head, so that some slight strain is
caused by staring at it. Another appa-
ratus for causing drowsiness is formed
of clamps for squeezing the arteries
leading to the brain The clamps re-
main in position for less than half a
minute and by that time the sufferer
from insomnia has been placed in a
state of somnolence by the decreased
flow of blood to the brain. Still another
method is to arrange an electric battery
in the bed so that a mild electric cur
rent acts upon the spine.
