QUEER EFFECTS OF WHlMS.

Men Who Could Dress Well on Nom
cy Wasted For Cigars
It's Z curious thing how some peo-
pie will sacrifice themselves to their
whimS.' said Il man who prides HIM
Self upon his study Of human nature.
Il don't mean wealthy people, for they
can usually afford to do as they like.
I am speaking now Of people in moder-
ate or less than moderate circum-
stances. l have in mind a young man
whose tastes run to expensive neck
wear. He wouldn't think of wearing
g. tie that costs less than 50. and he
has stacks of them. Now, he can't af-
ford this luxury, so he has to stint him
self by wearing $3 shoes and SIS ready
made suits. He doesn't realize the in
congruity Of his attire and is perfectly
happy if his tie is all right.
Another chap know doesn't pay
the slightest attention to his personal
appearance and is usually rather fray
ed looking. That's because he spends
his money on expensive cigarettes. He
smokes only the highest priced import
cd Egyptian brand. and they cost him
cents apiece. He is a hend and
smokes probably 40 a day. You could
not hire him to smoke 4 domestic Gig
arctic which costs half cent. yet If he
did he could afford to dress himself as
he should. I could cite numerous in
stances of this tendency to one extray-
agance which have come under my per-
sonal observation. l can only explain
it as 4 lack Of mental balance. e."-Phll-

WANTED HIS FARE RUNG UP.
An Italian Who Demanded Music OK

An italian Who Demanded Music OK
the Street Car Conductor.
The conductor of 4 Brooklyn trolley
car had q peculiar experience with an
Italian one night last week. The
Italian wanted to ride with music
thrown in for his cents. 4 passenger
described the incident:
81 boarded the car with six other pas
sengers, including an Italian, at the
suburban end Of the road on one OF the
late trips. The car had gone short
distance when the conductor began to
collect the fares. The Italian was on
the rear seat, and his money was col
lected last. Everything went we'll Tor
about half mile, when the Italian
iumped to his feet and waved his
hands at the conductor. The conductor
went to the excited man and asked him
what the trouble was. The Italian
said:
".AIe wanta my fya centa back.
"The conductor told him that he
could not have the money. The Italian
insisted:
Every boda gctta music for tiVa
centa; me no got
THE conductor grasped the situation
at once, and, seeing that he was ac-
cused of 'nickeling,' started to clear
himself. He showed the Italian that
there were seven passengers on the
car and that that number Of fares were
registered He also explained why the
Italian did not get any music for his
nickel. He said:
"While collecting the fares in the
front part Of the car rang up one
fare too much, and if rang up yours |
would be out cents
"While this explanation was going Oh
the man from Italy was still shouting
for his 'tiva centa, and did not stop
until he got off the car farther down,
still jabbering at the conductor. New

THE HARDY GOAT.
II Can BE Made Valuable rs n Dairy
Animal.

Animal.
The usefulness Of the goat in clearing
foul lands and the prolitableneSS Of the
animal for its hair, skin and even car
cass are becoming pretty we'll under
stood. But the goat is valuable is
dairy animal. If the COWS, for IN
stance, are being used for supplying
city milk trade, the keeping OF goats
for the home milk supply would Se an
excellent policy. The goat will 1--we
where a COW would Starve, and, While
it, like every domestic animal, Will GO
best on good pasture, it will live ana
weld milk on astonishingly little food.
The animal and its milk are almost
entirely exempt from disease. The
milk is more nutritious than that OF the
COW and agrees with stomachs that
cows milk frequently offendS. The
animal requires only the cheapest kind
of shelter. but it needs shelter from the
storms and in winter. If by reason OF
drought soiling is necessary, leaves,
vegetable refuse, peelings OF the apple
or potato, bread cruSts or stale bread,
if they are sweet and clean, will be all
the feed that is needed.
All goats, however, will not eat the
same food, and the feeder will have to
study the appetites Of the Individual
animal. Frequent feeding and va
riety of food in winter will be found
beneficial. Roots, oilmeal, oats, corn
(of the latter in the whole state the
goat is very fond), are proper feed, es-
pecially for the milking goat. Rock
salt is greatly relished. The flavor Of
goats milk cannot be distinguished
from that Of cows milk if it is proper
ly cared for. From three to four pints
a day is the average yield of good
milker. The milk is so rich and Of
such a character that in making pastry
it will take the place of eggs.-Epito-
mist.

After long and varied experience
in the use of mineral waters from
many sources, both foreign and do
nestle, am fully persuaded that the
Harris Lithia Water possesses efficacy
in the treatment of Affections of the
Kidney and the Bladder unequalled
by any other Water of which l have
made trial.
This opinion is based upon obser-
vation of it's effects upon my patients
for the past three years, during which
time have prescribed it freely and
most uniformly with benefit in the
medical maladies above mentioned.

silva AND DEW.
The Fearful Devil of the Hindoos
and His PRINCIPAL Wife.

ana ktlS SElncipd4 "1ACs
silva is both typical Of destruction
and Of reproduction. But the latter at
tribute was doubtless later addition
to the sum of his qualities. The orig
inal conception Of this deity was that
of q power delighting in destruction,
in the achievement of physical evil and
wrong and in hurling death and deyas-
tation upon the people and their land.
He is represented in the sacred books
of the Hindoos as 'the terrible destroy
er," "the one who delights in the de-
struction of men," But in all this there
is no whisper as yet Of any moral quail
tiles Of evil. The conception is entirely
one Of physical power, used with the
utmost malevolence and injustice
against men.
Along with his principal wife, who
is variously called Deyi, Durga, Una
and Kali, he is portrayed as the incar-
nation of physical evil, wrong, inJus-
tice or misfortune. In the "Puranas'
silva is described as wandering about
surrounded by ghosts and goblins, in
ebriated, naked and with disheveled
hair, covered with the ashes Of fu-
neral pile, ornamented with human
skulls and bones, sometimes laughing
and sometimes crying. Devi, his con-
sort, is represented with a hideous and
q terrible countenance streaming with
blood, encircled with snakes, hung
round with skulls and human heads
and in all respects resembling a fury
rather than a goddess. The only pleas
ure which silva and Devi feel is when
their affairs are drenched with blood,
which, of course, could not be shed
without the destruction of some form
Of life.-Westminste Review.

washinston Church Kodak Fiends.


The story that 4 Washington wom-
an sent notices To the ministers Of the
capital of the opening of her summer
home with tie request that they be
read from the pulpit may be a libel, al
though have been told that it is
fact" said man Who has been in
Washington for several months, "but
I'll tell you what have seen there
men and women carrying kodaks into
their pcwS on Sunday. No; not to take
snap shot Of the minister, but the
Washington kodak fend stops on his
way to church to make shots, and after
the service he fingers on his way home
to do likewise. There is no other place
in the country where the kodak iend IS

Watch Springs.

The watch carried by the average
man is composed Of 9S pieces, and its
manufacture embraces more than 2,oOO
distinct and separate operations.
Hairspring wire weighs one-tWen-
tieth Of grain to the inch. One mile
Of wire weighs less than half pound.
The balance gives five vibrations
every second, 300 every minute, $4,000
every hour, 432, 900 every day and 49,
6SO,000 every year.
The value of springs when finished
and placed in watches is enormous IN
proportion to the material from which
they are made. \ ton Of steel made
up into hairsprings when in watches
is worth more than 121a times the
value Of the same weight in pure
gold.

l have prescribed Harris Lithia
Water" in my practice, and am de
lighted with it in those cases in which
it is indicated. In all those condi-
tions in which there is uric acid in
the system, in gouty and rheumatic
diathesis. in cystltis and endocervi-
citis. causing painful micturition, in
renal dropsy and dyspepsia, due to
torpid liver or constipation, | have
found the best results from this min
eral water. Indeed, it may be used
to advantage in any case in which it's
formula may suggest itself, especially
when Lithia is indicated. l recon-
mend it to the public, and believe
there is no superior Lithia Water in

Mankato Has a Distinguished
Visitor Today.
The Eminent Free Silver Apostle and
Party Leader Dimes at The
SauIpaugh.

If the people of Mankato, and more
particularly those who are of the Demo
cratic faith, had known who was eat
ing his dinner at The Saulpaugh today
they would have no doubt crowded
the rotunda and the platform at the
union depot. No less passenger
than Hon William Jennings Bryan, of
Lincoln, Neb., stepped from the 1885
p. m, train and followed the crowd to
the hotel ip search of a square meal,
The great apostle of free silver and
former Democratic nominee for presi
dent was on his way to his home at
Lincoln from Minneapolis, where he
addressed the assemblage at the great
Jacksonian banquet last night,
when Lind made his declaration that
he would not be candidate for gov
ernor again, unless -.
Mr.. Bryan was looking about the
same as he did when he spoke in the
opera house three years ago last fall
Although familiar figure before the
public scarcely anyone recognized him.
There was no reception committee on
hand this time, and no applauding
multitude, and the silver tongued
orator of the Platte" walked alone to
the hotel and into the dining room,
While eating his nner, Mr.. Bryan
recognized former acquaintance
seated at another table, U. G. Truax
and walking over to him grasped his
hand and referred to their past &C.
quaintance. This was feat of memory,
as it was five years since Mr.. Truax
had seen Mr., Bryan, and their acquain-
lance was not intimate. Mr.. Truax
later escorted Mr.. Bryan to the train
and had an extended conversation
with him.
While in the city, Mr.. Bryan made
the remark, that while the last
presidential campaign was a warm Ole,
the next one will be many degrees more
sultry. He said that free silver is not a
dead issue, and that to the issues
of '96 would be added the ques.
tion of territorial expansion and all
of the issues growing out of the war.
Speaking of the love feast at Minneapo-
lis last night, he expressed qualification
at the event and the pleasure it had al
forded him,
After tarrying half an hour in the
city, Mr.. Bryan departed at 1:25 p. m.

ADJUDGED INSANE.
InfatuatiOn for al UnknOwu Lady
Causes Lewis 0dland's Trouble.

Lewis Odlapd was examined as to his
sanity late yesterday afternoon by
Judge Hughes; assisted by Drs Warne
and Dayis He was adjudged insane
and ordered committed to the insane
asylum at st. Peter. He will be held
at the Jail for a. few days, and the
papers in the case have been sent to
the secretary of the state board of cor
rections and charities, so that State
Agent Gates can take Odland to South
Dakota, which seems to be his legal
residence.
To the doctors, Odland stated the
seven reasons why he is abstaining
from food and talked freely, about the
matter. 1t appears that about two
years ago he saw young lady with
whom he fell in love. although he has
never met her. This is thought to be
at the bottom of his trouble. He has a
hallucination that by abstaining from
the use of food for long periods he can
purify his, heart and in time live with
1 q
out food. He said that snakes and
other animals go all winter without
food, and he thought that he could do
the same. He referred to DR.. Tanners
long fast and to the forty days without
food spent in the wilderness by Christ.
Odland promised that if he was re-
leased and the matter not reported to
the state board he would go to Spirit
Lake and eat after he gets there. He
thinks that he can walk twenty. FIVE
miles day in his weak condition. 1t
is now thought that the st. Paul
authorities shipped him to Mankato
DR. Davis states that Odland can live
for week or two more without food.
He is getting weaker and his face is be-
ginning to look pinched. His tempera-
ture is below normal and his pulse
weak.
