REHABILITATION.

Ramsey county cast its vote for John
Lind. The claims that had been made
by the county committee that the peo-
pie of st. Paul would give Lind a ma
jority was fulfilled. Instead of an adj
verse plurality of 1900, which Gov.
Clough got in 1896, the county steps
over into the Lind column by plural
ity of 1000, which later may even yet
be increased bur will not grow less.
The Republican ward, the Seventh,
voted for Eustis as it did for every Re.
publican and would for every Repub-
Hcan. 1t and the Eleventh were the
only ones that gave Eustis a plurality.
On the rest Of the state ticket little
definite information can be given. OF
course all of the Republican candidates
ran ahead of Eustis and possibly most
of them carried the county.
The Democratic judges for the su-
prene court ran away ahead of Eustis,
so far as the official returns have been
received.
On the county ticket Rogers, Repub-
hcan, seems to be elected. Sheriff
Wagner is also elected, and possibly

John J. O'Connor is also elected to the

Both are Democrats. Juenemann, of the
Fifth, is probably another winner.

were the buttons Of dress, with bits
of dccayed cloth hanging to them, and
an abundance of dark-brown hair. At
once the dead suspicion leaped life. IT
was remembered that the Brill house
was empty in 1891, when Gray drove his
wife to the station. Berry positively
identified the buttons as being like
those on her dress, and soon complete
chain of evidence was wrapped around
Gray.
He pleaded not guilty and the trial
came on. At the proper time the pros
ecuting officer snatched a dark cloth
from mysterious, statue-like object
that stood within few feet of the pris-
oner. Gray leaped back with a shout Of
fear and horror. It was the skeleton of
his wife, it's f1eshless sockets staring at
him, its heshless jaws opening say.
agely at him. He shouted out that he
would tell the whole story.
The story he told was believed by the
court and he got only IL years in the
penitentiary instead of the hanging he
would surely have got had he not con-
fessed under just those circumstances.

But He Was Not an Angel, just the Same.
and So Told the Merchant.
A boy, rather bright looking, almost
pert, in fact, was before Main street
merchant. He was there in response to
an advertisement that called for
bright, reliable boy, with no bad
habits" He looked all right, but the
merchant concluded to quiz the
youngster, partly for amusement and
partly to get some idea of his aptitude.
"Do you ever smoke cigarettes, young
man?" ~ aas...ss
"No, sir" " ...
"Go to Sunday school every Sunday"
"Yes, sir; some Sundays" 4.
"Ever swear when you're mad?"
Sometimes say 'dern it. :"
"You never sass your father, l hope !"
"You bet don't. He's bigger'n me-
."I hope you always keep yourself tidy
and clean"
"Yes. sir; in summer time, always"
Right here the merchant stopped to
get good one ready, and the boy con-
cludsd to say a few words
"Say, mister, didn't you advertise for
boy ?' at
"Yes; why?" a.a
"Why, l kinder thought maybe yon
wus lookin' fur an angel, and dunno
where yon can git one."
The interview ended and the mer-
chant didn't get chance to hire the
boy.-Cincinnet Tribune.

DRAMATIC COURT SCENE.
Confesses Crime Through Fear o.
Ghastly Accusation.

Ghastly Accusation.
Up in New Hampshire the officers
of the law have just used with effect
.hat very ancient test by which, one ac-
cused of murder is suddenly and uneS-
nectedly confronted with some horr1-
BILE proof of his crime. The Oldest form
of this test was to take the accused
= into the presence of the corpse OF the
murdered human being. The supersti-
ton was that if the accused was the
murderer the wounds would open and
blood flow out of them. a
The latest example was in the court
room at Wcodsville, N. H., where Milo

his wife. I: ~

The Psychologists and scientists in
general have been making some curious
experiments with view to determine
the relative length and strength of
right and ''left" limbs. Fifty and
nine-tenths per cent. of the men meas
ured had the right arm stronger than
the left; 16 4-10 per cent. had the two
arms of equal length and strength, and
80 7-10 per cent. had the left arm
stronger than the right. OF women
46 0-10 per cent. had the right arm
stronger than the left; "a $40 per cent.
had the left stronger than the right.
In order to arrive at the average of
length OF limbs, so skeletons were meas
ured, 25 of each sex. OF these % had
the right arm and left leg longer, six
the left arm and right leg. while in II
cases all the members were more or
less equal in length.-Home Queen.

Some of the Tricks of Dealers to Roseo'

Some of tho Tricks of Dealers to Restore
Brief Youth to Aged Equines.
The bolstering of ancient horses has
become almost an art. An expert III
this practice can take the most de-
crepit street car wreck, and in q short
time so alter his appearance that tho
careless buyer would consider him q
bargain at a fairly good figure.
The tricks employed to gain the ends
of the owner of the time-worn horse
are as numerous as they are cruel.
One of the most recent and ingenious
inventions of the unscrupulous is II
treatment for filling out the eyes, which,
as a rule, are sunk far back in the head.
This operation consists in cutting an
opening in, each optic, in which tho
nozzle of a small air bellows is inserted.
Wind is then gently pumped into and
around the organ, putting it out and
giving it the appearance of horse in
perfect condition. OF course, like all
other ''fake" remedies, the apparently
beneficial results last for limited time
only, after which the normal conditions
return.
Another and favorite method of inn
provement is the injection of a large
dose OF whisky into the animal, hypo-
dermic syringe being employed to
pump the invigorator into the beast to
be disposed of. Several secret COM
pounds are also employed by various
unscrupuious traders. In fact, there
ere many injections compounded which
contain limited amount of the fire OF
youth. Then the broken-down animal
is often fed on alcoholic essence of oats,
while wel!-moistened hay will fill out
an emaciated frame in short order.
Add to these careful grooming and
clipping and judicious exercise, and it
doesn't take long to bring about
complete metamorphosis. There are
tricks in all trades, undoubtedly, but
in none are there more than in that of
horse dealing.
Dave B. Harrington, of Fleetwood
fame, said to a Journal reporter: "One
of the greatest difficulties l have to

forts of the sharps who try to palm off
on me apparently sound animals to
train. AS a matter of fact, these ami
mails are 'bolstered' for the time being.
and I am supposed to receive them in

off, the owners propose to come to me

HARVEST OF THE SEA.
A P~ouliar Occupation Followed On the
Coast Of Ireland.

/ Coast of Ireland.
Along the northwest coast of Ireland,
on the borders of the Atlantic, dwells
hardy race of men whose chief occupa-
ton, when not engaged in fishing, con-
sists in the manufacture of ''l1elp."
. This ''kelp'' is of great commercial
importance, as from it is obtained near
ly all our iodine-a body Of vast use in
medicine.
During the winter months the kelp-
burners set out in their frail little "cur-
raghs' (small canoe-like boats about 1o
feet long, made Of canvas) and, proceed
ing along the coast, fill the boats with
sea-weed, from which the kelp is Inade.
In this they are assisted by the women,
who, bareheaded and shoeless, take
their turn regularly at the oars, and
are almost as expert at it as the men.
After a storm is the time selected
for obtaining the seaweed, as by the
force of the waves it has been torn from
it's bed and is cast in along the sshore
in large quantities.
When the boats are laden, the sea-
weed is brought to a small creek, and
there placed in heaps out of reach OF
the tide From this it is carried in creels
on the backs of men and women to
point further inland, where it has to un-
dergo process ofdrying.
The drying consists in exposing it to
the sun and wind, and the better to do
this they have, rows of loose stones
laid about 90 yards in length and a
few feet in height. Along the tops OF
these they scatter the seaweed.
The. drying takes months. so that
spring is well advanced ere it is ready
for burning. This does not matter,
however, as owing to the fueEthe pea t

being yet cut and dried Tor win" as

The kiln is deep trench dug IN the

the whole is kept burning for about
three weeks, until it cakes together in

REMARKABLE JAPANESE WOMAN
Continued Brilliant and Helpful Career
of Steimatz Rama Kama.

Continued Brilliant and Helpful Career
of steimatz Rama Hama.
All college women of America must
feel an especial pride in the career Of
the charming Steimatz Rama Kama, one
of the three young Vassar women edu-
Gated at Vassar college, 90 years ago,
by the japanese government.
Private letters from the island en-
pire continue to bring interesting word
of this remarkable woman, the wife
now of Marquis Oyama, one of the
heroes of the late war and beloved OF
his nation. The marquise seems to be
fulfilling the prophecies of her class
mates of two decades ago, who felt
that her personality must make an i'm.
print on her time. Intensely loyal to
her country, she yet left here thor
oughly imbued with American prin-
ciples, and determined to aid in the
uplifting of her sex in Japan. Her
last words to her friends here were
to the effect that her ambition in life
henceforth was to enlighten and raise
her native sisters to the American
standard of education and dignity. OF
noble blood, her position, with her edu-
cation, has afforded her unusual OPP
portunity to promote this desire. Her
homo is the very essence of refinement,
with decidedly foreign style as to
arrangement, though the gardens about
are royalty japanese. With three charm
ing children. Steimatz-for so her
classmates saffectionately speak of her
is dispensing beautiful and uplifting &
influence to all who come in contact
with her. While the war lasted her
practical work was constant. She sent
out from her own hands, aided by wom-
en- of all grades of society, enormous
quantities of carbolized gauze, with
great packages of other sanitary sup
plies, to the seat Of battle. She is pro-
noting many philanthropic schemes,
but none of them has she so much at
heart as the education of her sisters.
She is using the influence of her own
and her husbands position to bring
about change of native opinion con
cerning japanese women. Believing
firmly in education as the chief factor
in the elevation of women, in this direc-
ton she bends all herenergies and argu-
ments. There is little question that
her early American education has
been, through her constant application
of it, the keynote. to the growing lib
erality OF the japanese toward women
and an American policy in general.
Her progressive spirit was no transi.
tory notion, but a deep, underlying
conviction and motive of action, which
she has been able to direct upon the
thought of her compatriots at q most
fortunate time-N. Y. Times.
