Greatest Knitters In the world.

All the women of Shetland knit.
They learn the art in early childhood
and continue ii all through their lives.
The wool used for their knitting is
grown on the islands and is carded
and spun by the people themselves.
Machinery they have not except the
primitive spinning wheel. Many Of
the most elaborate shawls have taken
months to make and Some even years,
so that very fine shawl may be worth
as much as $50 or $500. Most of the
knitting is, however, of the more home
ly and serviceable kind and may be
bought from the women themselves for
n very moderate price.
The manner in which the washing %
knit shawls is accomplished in Shet-
land is q matter of interest to most
visitors. They are washed carefully
in soap lather, and then to prevent
their shrinking they are laced from
point to point OF the scalloped border
in n large square wooden frame and
placed outside the cottage to dry.-Chi-

Minnesota contracting firms have failed

distance is eighty-two miles, and the

KOKOMO, Ind, May 19-Miss Pearl
Curry, whose prolonged fast and pervert-

the medical world. Is still alive at her
home near Sycamore, this county. Sha
has now gone 1A days without eating.
During the four months past she has TAX
en- nothing on her stomach except salt,
vinegar and lemon juice. She Graves meth

not be retained or assimilated. The It's
sues of the stomach are cankered and
feverish, and every form OF nOurishin>s
victuals produces the keenest nausea ami
vomiting. Her father. who is a prominent
Jackson township resident, took her -
indianapolis last week to consult a Spe-
cialiSt who pronounced the case entirely
hopeless The physician tried diet of
several kinds Of milk and blood, but
without success. The milk could not lie
retained at all, and the small quantity of
bullock's blood served but little better.
Common table salt, eaten by itself, is her
favorite dish. Her father says her appe-
tite has been perverted from early infan-
cy. Everything she ate was sailed heavily,
and she would eat the salt alone by the
teacup full unless restrained by the moth
ef. For u year or more Miss Curry has
not sat down to the family dining table,
occasionally take and digest ordinary
food When she began her fast she ceas-

BF j)GS BERG'S MEMORY
GOV. LIND SENDS HIM A LIST OF
DELINQUENT CORPO-
RATIONS
SUGGESTS HE Do HIS DUTY
AS Required of Him Under the Pro-
visions of the SOmerviIle Bill
Passed by the Last
Legislature.

Gov. Lind's letter to Secretary Of State
Berg suggesting that the latter otnclai
do his duty with regard to foreign corpo-
rations doing business in this state which
have not complied with the provisions OF
the Somerville bill, is as follows:
Sir: Permit me to call your attention to
the provisions of chapter 69 of the Gen
eral Laws of the State Of Minnesota Tor
the year 1899, and chapter az, amendatory
thereof; this being the act usually known
as the Somervil.e law Under its pro-
visions the secretary of state was ie-
quired Immediately after Oct. /, 1853, ana
as often thereafter as he might be ad-
Vised that corporations were doing puSl-
ness in this state in contravention OF the
act, to report such fact to the county at
tOrney of the county in which the ousl-
ness of any such corporation is located,
it being also made the duty of the county
attorney to institute proceedings to re-
cover the penalties prescribed by the act
[ cannot learn that any report OF that
character has been made from your office
l find upon investigation that there are
several hundred foreign corporations do
ing business in this state, who are sub
Ject to the provisions of the act referred
to and who have not complied with its re-
quirements. l enclose herewith a partial
list of the foreign corporations doing bust
ness in the cities Of st. Paul. Minneapolis
and Duluth, who have not paid the license
fee or obtained the certificate required to
entitle them to transact business in this
state. There are undoubtedly others that
law, both in the counties referred to and
in other parts Of the state. and there
may be some in the list submitted which
are not, but [ think it sufficiently ac-
curate to serve you as a guide.
deem it exceedingly important that the
provisions of this act should be enforced
by the officers charged with its execution,
not only on account Of the protection that
1t is designed to afford our citizens who
do business with foreign corporations by
enabling them to serve process in our
own courts, but also because of the rev.
enue accruing to the state. The collec-
ton of merely the minimum fee of $50
from each of the corporations named in
the schedule transmitted would mean up
wards of $4,000 to the state, and many of
them are liable In much greater sum, to
say nothing about the penalties which
they have incurred for refusal or failure
to comply with the law
For these reasons and because it de-
wolves upon you to take the initial step
in the matter, [ earnestly hope that you
will take the action directed by the
statute. If this office can be of further
service to you, cheerful cooperation will
be given at all times. Yours very re-
Spectfully, John Lind
