closely mown yard in a stately
way, then one flies to the up
per basin timidly tests the
depth of the water and figures
on taking bath. Two or three
preliminary plunges are in
dulged, and the other one, both
frayed looking mother birds, as
if each had nest full of vora-
cious little ones to feed and
bring up is approaching the
fountain also for a dip, when
something suddenly frights
the one in the basin, a horrid
cat or other thing, when she
gives chirp of alarm, makes
a sudden dash for the thicket,
the other following the ex-
ample.
The yard is capacious a triple
basined fountain standing in
the midst, before the broad
stone steps. The falling of the
water from the upper basins
into the lower ones makes a
continual dripping that is cool
and refreshing. On the outer
edge of the terrace on which
the house stands, are tall
naples, their elliptical outline
being heavily weighted with
rank growth of foliage. The
maple is one of the trees that
take most kindly to domestica-
ton. At the left a single elm
stands, taller than the naples,
with it's unrivalled grace and
statliness. The elm is the
most ornamental tree in east
ern United States. Inside the
row of naples stand several fir
balsams so trained that they
are exact cones of light soft
green foliage, reaching from
the closely cropped sward to
the height of ten or fifteen feet.
But to me there is sense of
distraint, as I look at such
trees, for they make an inn
preston like that of men and
women crippled in their physi-
cal form. The owner of this
yard has decided that the tops
of these trees shall no longer
be cropped back but allowed
! to grow unrestrained. To this
purpose the sparrow shows a
! preference, for he has already
selected one of the heightened
twigs for his favorite song
perch.
Through an open space be-
tween the great naples, a fine
prospect is obtained of an ex-
quisite New England land
scape. In the foreground are
the tops of the naples growing
in the terrace below. Half a
mile away across the narrow
valley is a sandy ridge with
some scattering spruce, their
dark foliage suggesting the
rugged might they need to en-
dure the snow and cold of these
northern winters. Beyond these
are other masses of trees on a
hillside in that incompatible
beatty that nature makes when
left to plant out and grow the
trees. in her unrestricted way.
No art of man can equal with the
trees the artless art of mother
nature. Three miles away be-
yond and over the tree tops rise
two gentle hills, Worn rounded
and smooth by the glacier that
ten thousand years ago, planed
down these northern hills to
their present wild beauty.
Their sides are opened by some
light green pasture, while their
upper reaches and tops are
covered with dark heavy fronts
of the woods primeval. The
whole perspective through this
opening between the naples of
the yard, is, as 1 sit on the
porch and look upon it, of most
enhancing beauty. M.V.B. X.

The Twin Cities Greatest Daily,

The Twin Cities Greatest Daily.
Among the exchanges which
come to our editorial table,
none takes the place of The
Minneapolis Tribune. It is
without question the represen-
tative daily of the northwest.
Not alone is it the paper of
the largest known circulation
west of Chicago, but it's stand
ing among the best class of
readers-the actual leaders of
thought and sentiment in the
northwest is absolutely unique.
The Tribune, first of all a re-
publican newspaper. It is not
a party organ, or the instru-
ment of any person or clique.
There is no attempt to manu-
facture sentiment through its
columns for one man or against
another. At the same time its
editorial page presents char
acter and virility seldom found.
In so far as an outsider can
judge, it seems to be the belief
of the management of The
Tribune that while the repub-
lican party and the republicans
generally, may not always be
right. they are so much more
likely to be right than their
populistic and democratic op.
ponents that the rule may as
we'll be made general and the
republican cause supported
every time.
But The Tribune is valuable
for other reasons, even more
than because it is practically
the only consistent republican
daily in the Twin Cities. The
Tribune is primarily a news
paper. 1t is this quality which
gives it the large circulation
and the influence among the
newspaper readers. The for
elgn war service, including the
summary from London cabled
every day, has enabled Tribune
readers to get the drift of the
Boer-English war up to the
very hour of going to press.
So with the Philippine war
news, general national politics
from Washington and the news
of the northwest. All the news
is we'll edited, making it easy
to gather from a hasty glance
at The Tribune the days do
ings of the world.
The Sunday Tribune is a
veritable library volume each
week. It is a long Sundays
job to read it through, but it's
variety is so great and it's in
teresting composition of such
a character that every member
of the family wants a turn at
what is justly called "The Twin
Cities Greatest Daily"

Why Women are Nervous.

British Medical News.
The frequent cases of nervous pros
tration OF utter collapse Of the ner-
vous system under which women "go
all to pieces, !" as the saying is, have
caused much thought and investiga-
tion on the part Of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are
well known to cause various formes of
nervous diseases which are readily
traced to the poisons producing them.
Further research leads to the belief
that alum is a prevailing cause Of
so-called nervous prostration, for the
symptoms it produces on the nervous
system after its absorption into the
blood are very remarkable indeed.
Experiments physiologically made
upon animals by Orfila, Professors
Hans Mayer, Paul Seim and others,
show that alum frequently produce
no visible symptoms for many days
after its introduction into the body.
Then follows loss of appetite and
other alimentary disturbances, and
finally serious prostration of the
whole nervous system. The most
prominent physicians now believe
that nervous prostration" and many
affections of the nerves are caused by
the continued absorption of alum into
the system. 1t is probable that many
medical men are unaware of the ex-
tent to which salts Of alumina may be
introduced into the body, being under
the impression that the use of alum
in bread is prohibited. Alum, how
ever, is still used surrepititiously to
some extent to whiten bread, and
very largely in making cheap kinds of
baking powder. In families where
baking powder is generally used great
care should be exercised to procure
only those brands made from cream
of tartar. The alum powders may
generally be distinguished by the low
er price at which they are sold.

PRAIRIE DOGS SLAIN.
Rats Destroy a Colony Of Them in
a Chicago Park.
Ingenuity of the Rodents in Maxi
Ing Way with the Interesting
BurrOyvers--Noted Instances
of Destruction.

Nine rats exterminated the colony
of 4s prairie dogs which have made
Lincoln park their home for the last
two years; and now the Lincoln park
commissioners are looking for new
consignment Of prairie dogs. When a
man was set to work the other day in
the prairie dog pit to ascertain what
had become of the colony which disap-
peared in their homes beneath the sod
in the latter part of November, he found
that all that remained of 4s active lit
tie animals were As cleanly picked skel-
etons.
The discovery created a sensation
among the animal keepers and excited
a fierce desire for vengeance. One
prairie dog was found half eaten, and
from the appearance of the remains it
was evident the murderers had only
just left their last victim. 'The man
with the hoe" at once set to work to
solve the mystery. The entrance to
tunnel much larger than those made
by the prairie dogs was discovered, and
with fright, were nine rats, in the best
physical condition from their continu-
GUS meal of the winter months. Their
end was sudden. The remains of the
rats were piled in heap at the end
of the prairie dog pit, and the skele-
tons OF their victims were piled at the
other, mute evidence of the winter
tragedy.
How tie rats got in and the man
ner in which they did the work proved
the ingenuity Of the rodents. Beside
one end of the prairie dog pit grows
thriving lilac bush, and it was by this
means the rats gained entrance 10 the
pit. The rats climbed up the bush
and jumped over into the pit. just how
the rats divided up the little animals
among them is uncertain, but as the
entire nine seemed to have thriven
equally well II was evident that there |
had been an equal division Of the deni-
zens Of the pit. This would have given |
to each rat five and one-third prairie |
dogs. which represented his rations for
The winter.
The rats which wiped out the Lin
coin park prairie dogs we're Of the
black and brown variety. Some Of
them weighed two or three pounds and /
could have put up a stiff fight. The

out west for some new prairie dogs
and when they come greater precautions
