November Meteors.

The month of November is likely to
be remarkable for it's meteoric show
ers 1t is probable that a brilliant dis
play of the so called Leonids will oc-
cur in the early morning of November
Is or 16, and it is quite possible that
there may be second shower on the
evening of the ODD or oath, due to an
encounter with the meteOritic swarm
which follows in the track of Biela's
lost comet. Whether, however. both
or either of these meteoric showers
will be visible in the United States is
something which cannot be positively
predicted even leaving out all consid-
Grafton of the weather. While it is
practically certain that the earth will
pass through some portion of the
Leonid swarm on the 18th or 10th of
the month, the data are not sufficient
to determine the precise hour of Green
witch time when the encounter will
take place or how long it will last. so
that we cannot say in just what part
of the earth the phenomenon will be
visible-whether in the eastern or in
the western hemisphere. On the whole,
the calculations thus far published in
dicate that the favored regions are
likely to be those that border on the
Atlantic-New Lippincott

A canal is to be built about the
grounds of the an-American eXposi-
ton to be held in Buffalo in 1901. In
the construction of this canal it will be
necessary to remove 100000 cubic
yards of earth. for the canal will
be nearly two miles in length and ii
will be not less than 40 feet in width
and from 49, to feet in depth,
This magnificent waterway will skirt
the entire exposition grounds, and on
either side of it there will be beautiful
walks 35 feet in width. One of the
ideas that the architects had in mind
was the beauty of the ensemble at
night, when the magnificently illumi-
mated building would east varicolored
reflections upon the limpid waterway.
1t is the intention of the management
to construct at short distances along
the canal stopping places at points of
interest, and to run on the canal a
large number of beautiful craft, so that
the visitors may visit the buildings of
the exposition either by land or water
for all of the buildings will have an Ell
trance on either side. New York Her

The Mule In Action.

General White attributes his loss of
troops at Ladysmith to the fact that
mules ran away with the guns and am
munition of his lansing force. OF
course they did. Mules always do that
under fire, unless they take the oppo-
site course and stand stock still, refus-
ing to move mt all when movement is
Indispensable
During our civil war artillerymen on
both sides learned this popularity of
the mule by unlucky experience when
ever and wherever they tried to use
mules in battle The mule is like GER
tain brigadier general concerning
whom Il Kentucky colonel once testi-
fed before court martial that he was
n brave man, but much too nervous

ton wagons and guns.-0ld Soldier in

yet it is an appreciate addition to the
amount already taken, and if the
process of abstraction goes on long
enough at this rate the silencing of

putation. We have our doubts wheth-

ton of these encroachments. It's all

The remains of the old Sioux Indian
chief, Ish-tak- ha-ba, or Sleepy Eyes,
whose village al one time stood or the
present site Of Sleepy Eye, Brown
county, and from whom the town was
named, have just been found in South
Dakota, and they will be brought to
Sleepy Eye, to be placed under monu-
ment, which the people of Sleepy Eye
will erect TO the old chiefs memory.
Old Sleepy Eyes was Il somewhat
noted character in the old Indian days.
He was a member of the first Sioux
delegation that went to Washington in
the administration of President Adj
ans. He was always firm and faithful
in his friendship for the whites, and
for many years he and his band lived
in peace and amity with everybody on
the shores of the beautiful lake which
still bears his name. He never gave
any trouble whatever and kept his
band under perfect control. st. Paul

Farm Stock and Home, commenting
on statute milk standard, says the
law had no conscious purpose to com
pei dairymen to study their cows and
ascertain if their milk contained the
requisite percentage of butter fat And
yet this may be the indirect result if
the law is vigorously enforced, for it
is fact that milk low in fat is as Of
ten the fault of the cows as of the
tricky dairyman. Could this standard
be enforced in all the dairies and at
all the creameries and cheese factories
of the state the practical effect would
be the elimination of the skimmilk

Kipling'S Refrain.
Lord God of Hosts. be with us yet
Lest we forget. lest we forget.

The solemn lines of Kipling seem
more significant now than when
they were first repeated by rev.
erential public. While the num-
Der of men who fell near Apia yes
terday was small as compared with
the caualty list sent out by Gener-
al Otis, the death of these soldiers
attracted more attention because
of their rank and because Ameri-
can and British blood was shed
together in bearing the white
mans burden. There is sad but
glorious reminder in this affair,
that, in the death of Ensign Bag
ley in front of Cardenas, in Santi-
ago's strenuous charge and in this
ambuscade near Apia the officers
of the United States army and
navy have freely dared the leaden
hail of the battle in the moment of
greatest trial. To Americans and
English this incident of death and
ruin at Apia teaches the refrain of
Kipling's "Recessional:"

Lest we forget, lest we forget,

tory there is also defeat and disas-
ter.--K. C. Star.
