factor in the welfare of commu.
nifty. The question of better roads
should be ag,tated now. We should
not wait until the busy season of
gathering and hauling the crops.
Unless the work is promptly done
we can not expect good roads at
the time when they will be most
needed. Approaching the neces
sity of immediate attention our
progressive neighbors Capt. Joe
Billeaud. Arthur Landry, Lulu
Barkie and. others have plowed,
graded and put mile and half Of
Swell head Avenue" in good shape.
These gentlemen have, despite the
scorching sun, worked themselves
and with their own teams. Their
example should be followed by
others. We join the town and
country folk in thanking Capt. Joe
and others for their good work.

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1899-07-26
Odd Tendencies of SLANG.

A writer in the Journal des Dehats
complains Of the process of degrada-
ton which is going on in the French
language. The peasantry, for instance,
frequently speak Of the ass, humble
partner in their daily toll, as 1.-THE min
ister,' and other words Of dignthed
import are applied to equally rumble.
If not actually base, uses.
The same tendency, however, appears,
to be showing itself in Germany, where
the title monarch" passes current In
modern slang as q designation for
tramps and fbotpads. The other day a
noncommfSstoned officer in charge Of
barracks at Danzig addressed this
term to a troublesome private just as a
captain happened to be passing. The
latter at once reported the incident,
and the barrack master was brought
before the magistrates on a charge OF
'leze majesty . ss,s...ssS 81
Evidence was adduced to prove that
in east Prussia rascal and "mon-
arch" were convertible terms, SO that
the court acquitted the prisoner, al
though he loses his rank and his PEN
sion. l Tsr ssz:eaF..T' f

LIKE THE ~PROVERBlAL CAT.

How the Professors Desk Came
Back at His Own Expense.
The young lawyer has good taste in
antiques and has done much browsing
about in search Of them. He knows
the places in Worcester and the neigh
boring towns where those who like old
furniture and have the money to pay
for it may find what will delight their
souls. So it was no more than nat
ural. when the professor sold his desk,
which was Of ancient design, but Of
doubtful age, and began looking for
something better, that he should con-
suit the young lawyer. The man OF
law was delightfully."- sympathetic. 81
saw just what you want the other
day." he said, "but I'm afraid it's gone
now. I'll keep my eye out for the next
few days."
"Wel, if you see, anything really
good" said the professor, buy it and
hold it for me. 1t is not safe to let a
bargain go too long. Only let me-
know as soon as you can, SO that
won't be buying one too. 1t would be
great favor"
Not at ALL said the lawyer. cts a
pleasure to buy good thing, even If
you are not to keep it yourself"
In a day or two the professor receiv-
ed joyful note. The young lawyers
mother had found just what the pro-
fessor wanted-a beauty, one Of those
rare old bits that they cannot counter
felt, and such bargain, only $40. The
professor was charmed. He imme-
diately sent his check to the young
lawyer with an enthusiastic note Of
thanks and q request to send up the
desk. He was in the hall when it ar
rived. He tore off the sack1ng and in
spected his prize. It was his old desk
that he had sold few days before for

EFFECTS or @ iii OROFORM.

sSnch inst HNFglurs WOuld Not Csc
u ON Sleeping Persons.
That burglars OF the more advanced
type can and do use chIoroforIn il the
commission of their crimes is a belief
widely held and rarely contradieted,
and vet there IS, curiously, little foun-
dation for it. Indeed, those who are
most familiar with the administration
and effects Of anaesthetics assert that
there Is no foundation at all for it ex-
eept In the imagination of sensational
writer's and in the needs Of people
whose losses cannot safely be explain
ed by statements of fact The ques-
ton has been raised recently by sew
era1 robberies In which chloroform is
said to have been employed, and opin-
Ions OF the experts are strongly against
the possibility of such use. One Of the.
physicians interviewed is quoted as
saying:
AS far as known chloroform and
ether have never taken effect on
healthy sleeping person without that
person knowing It. Both of these
anaesthetics are at first stimulating
and inyigorating in their effect and
will arouse sleeping person. The en-
tire system is excited, and the heart
beats violently and fast The use of
either chloroform or ether or any 9TH
er anaesthetic by burglars is absurd.
It frequently takes physicians with
their various appliances from 10 to Is
minutes to put a person under the in
fluence of either of these anaesthetics,
and often a patient will become so
stimulated and active before the eff
feet Is secured that it requires several
strong men to hold him.
The idea that the mere introduction
Of chloroform into room would cause
Inconsistencies was derided as abb
surd. Even if doors and windows
We're. air tight it would take several
gallons of either anaesthetic to SO fill
a room with the heavy fumes as to af-
feet sleeper on bed Of average
height And the first effect would be,
not deep sleep, but excited wakeful-
ness. The chances are, then, that
when anybody claims to have been
chloroformed by burglars there is
something queer about the case.-New
York Times.

CAMEL'S HAIR BRUSHES,

The Term a Mianomer Now, For
Squirrels Furnish the Hair. ..s
The camel's hair brush used by art
lists has nothing of bactria in 1T. There
was a time when real camels hair was
used for this purpose. The ship of
the desert, however, has long been su-
perseded by the comely squirrel Not
only is squirrels hair very much less
costly, but it is better, softer, more
pliahle and more durable. At the pres
ent day 1t Is doubtful If you could find
a bushel Of cancels hair in all the
brush factories in the land However,
there is no cause for fear that the
graceful little squirrel will be extermi-
mated. It rs ting European squirrel that
furnishes the hair for the brushes, the
covering of the American squirrel be-
ing too furry and soft for the purpose.
It is somewhat the same way with
the coarser brushes. The bristles most
priced come from Russia and India,
and the Wild hogs of Germany furnish
their quota. The great American hog
runs to fat and puts forth practically
no bristles. In the countries above
mentioned the collecting Of bristles is
quite an important industry among the
peasantry Of certain districts. In COM
paratively. few cases are they strip
ped from the dead body Of the hog.
The usual method is to discover the
haunts Of the animals and to gather
the bristles from the trees against
which they rub themse1ves.-New

A. Valuable T.ruclkload.

Perhaps as costly a commodity as
any that is carried in considerable
quantities in truckio@ds is Sumatra to-
bacco, such as is used for cigar wrap
pers. Slnatra wrappers cost from
81 to SO q pound, and the import duty
on them is $1.85 pound. THIS tobacco
is imported in small, compact bales
weighing ITO OF $50 pounds each. Duty
paid Sumatra would be worth about
5000 bale, and there can be carried on
q truck fifty bales or more; SO that q
so bale truckload Of such tobacco
would be worth about $780, New
