| When you eat clans this summer eat
 them with gratitude that you have been
 spared to eat them and that they have
 been spared to be eaten by you. Also
 eat them with hope that the efforts of the United States Fish commission to increase the supply of clans will be
 abundantly successful. There has been
 big decline in the supply of clans
 along the coast of New England, and
 an expert of the Fish commission says
 that if the present conditions are con- tinued without check for some years the clam will disappear entirely from cer- tain sections and will become so scarce in other localities as to make it unprof-
 itable to attempt to market it. During the investigation of this industry which is to be prosecuted this summer agents of the commission will canvass the en- tire coast from Delaware to Maine. The conditions in each State will he studied and remedial suggestions made with re- gard to the various localities. The de- cline in the supply of clans, says an official of the commission, lis caused by not giving the beds a chance to recuper- ate, although there may be some ob- scure reasons operating about which we do not know. The demand Is increasing yearly while the productivity of the beds IS remaining about the same, and this can have but one result The clam industry of Long Island and New Eng land will eventually have to be put on the same basis with the lobster indus ]

FLEEING,

The Boers have earned a reputation as fighters, and they seem now to be earn ing a reputation as fleers. "The Boers fled" etc, is the regular thing in the dispatches nowadays. We do not read any more about the traps into which the British used to fall with as much regularity as the Boers now flee with. The fact seems to be that Lord Roberts plan is in good working order and is working. There are indications that the Boers are not quite as full of pluck as they were. It is always sweet and proper to die for one's country, but it is rather discouraging to so die when such dying will do no good. As the Boers can get no help from other coun- tries, and as the Lord doesn't seem to be answering their prayers as they would like to have them answered, it seems inevitable that they must submit. The civilized world would feel relieved if the hopeless struggle could end without more fruitless slaughter.

We H'wo.

 We two make home of any place we go; We two find joy in any kind of weather, Or if the earth Is clothed In bloom or snow, If summer days invite, or bleak winds What matters It. if we two are to- gether? We two we two, we make our world, our weather. We two make banquets of the plainest fare; In every cup we find the thrill of pleas ure; We hide with wreaths the furrowed brow of care, And win to smiles the set lips of despair For use life always moved with hltlnG We two, we two, we make our joy, our pleasure. We two find youth renewed with every dawn; Each day holds something of an un- known glory, We waste no thought on grief or pleasure gone; Tricked out like hope, time leads us on and And thrums upon his harp new song or We two, we two, we find the paths of glory we two make heaven here on thls little earth We do not need to wait for realms eter We know the use of tears, know sorrows worth, And pain for us is always loves reblrth, Our paths lead closely by the paths su- pernal; We two. we two, we live in love eternal.

try We will have to depend on planted beds for the future supply, for under present conditions it is only a matter of time before the species will be exhaust ed. Clans are not susceptible to arti- ficial production in the sense that fish are, but what would be aimed at would be to find condition under which the young clans might be planted and reared to suitable size. We will also endeavor to ascertain the circumstances under which they will spawn freely in large quantity on suitably prepared grounds, just as we did in our oyster Investigations.
 Life along the shore of New England will be much more melancholy than it is if the festive clam goes out of it. Therefore let us root" for the Fish commission while it is engaged in the benefieent work of making clans in crease and multiply.

4 DUSTY CITY.

We read with interest that in Vienna the telephone girls are required to change their clothes and wear a uni form when on duty in order that the dust which they bring in with them from the street may not interfere with the instruments. The costume is a dark skirt and waist, with sleeves strip ed black and yellow, the national colors,
 What dusty city Vienna must be. Not much like New Haven where the telephone girls don't have to wear uni- forms, and where there are more than twenty watering carts idle. To be sure, we have some dust here, but the good Lord sends his rain down occasionally, and in time to save us from being bur jed alive. Who would live in Vienna. where there Is so much dust that even the neat telephone girls can't keep their clothes clean?

 The favorite sport of Scandinavia
 originated in Norway. It is ski (skee) running. The skis are long narrow
 strips of wood fastened to the feet by
 leather straps. Skiing costumes are off,
 ten exceedingly picturesque. A wo-
 mans costume is usually made of dark gray or blue cloth, with bright colored
 vest, short full skirt pointed red cap and fur shoes and mittens. In a six miles tramp through the forest hen the mercury Is near zero one needs the best possible protection from the cold. The latest thing in ski running is to be dragged at furious pace by a horse, the driver being on skis and holding the reins in his hands. There were races of this kind all through the month of Feb ruary. Those who have learned to go on skis are enchanted with the sport, and claim that there Is nothing like 1t.
 A girl friend, writing in Swedish from Finland. says: "Knowest thou what thou shalt do If thou wilt have a Jolly time and very good exercise? Thou shalt go sklink. It Is certainly the finest sport one can follow In the winter. Thou hast not yet a chance to try 1t, but if thou wilt come over to Finland I shall be only too glad to teach thee Tn the forest is something so inspiring and uplifting. Canst thou imagine myself In the deep, silent forest, where the tall pine trees are bowed to the earth by the snow which has gathered upon them? As a background to the rich dark green of the trees is the beautiful snow, which dazzles the eyes by It's brightness, es- pecially on a day when the sun is shin ing.

 The fireman on the cab with Engineer Wallace saw the accident and relieved him of his post. The pain increased in Wallace's eye until it was almost un- bearable and he finally went back into the baggage coach to get such assist ance as was possible on the train.
 The dove was killed by the sudden contact with the cab window. Its quiv- ering body fell on the iron floor of the engine cab after striking the engineer, and was picked up by the fireman. So great was the momentum of the train and the doves body that the glass wins dow was not smashed by the blow of the collision. The hole through which the bird was hurled was clean cut like that made by bullet fire through glass. Atlanta Journal

REFORM IN CHICA GO.

Reform in Chicago isn't exactly
 played out, but it isn't exactly success 1 full. The Municipal Voters League has tried to have some good government, | Its report of it's operations for the last
 year shows. It was cheated of the fruits of it's efforts by partisanship. The majority of the council is composed of Republicans who were supported by good citizens generally, not as partisans, but as men who would act Independent of party in the common interest But when the council met, all these went into party caucus and effected an or ganization on strict party lines The league says that mo man with clear head, having obligated himself, as did these thirty Republicans. could honor- ably enter a party caucus or receive
 instructions from such a source The experience of the league enables it to present some conclusions that are ap- plicable in other places, For example, 1t is found that party nominees are too likely to be linen against whom noth- ing in particular can be said but who lack the force to be effective directors of a great business corporation like Chicago, and whose stability is unequal to the temptations that beset weak man in the council chamber of a great city" In considering remedies for vii cious partisanship in city government, the best thing the league can suggest is to have party nominations for local offices abolished altogether, to allow no party name on the local ticket, to sim plify the process of nominating by pe- tition, and to require all nominations for municipal offices to be made by pe- tition." They confess that the fight to get many flrst-elass candidates from the party ward organizations through the mechanism of the party primaries is almost hopeless.
 In other words, the children of light in Chicago don't seem to be enough for the children of darkness.

Negro levee hands and river rousta- bouts in Louisiana have become addict ed to the use of cocaine, the New Or leans Times-Democrat reports. These laborers work hard and are subjected to all sorts of exposures and privations, They have learned that a dose of CO., caine will relieve them of fatigue, take away the bangs of hunger, make them warm when they are cold, and comfort able when they are overhea ted, They have learned, too, that the continued use of the drug will reduce their weight, impair their strength and make them easy victims to diseases from which they were formerly almost immune. But they have not the moral courage to break the habit. The moral degenera- tion is more pronounced than the physi- cal. A man who has been among the camps on the levees says that the ne- groes go about in filthy rags, sleep in the mud and are about as near the level of beasts as 1t is possible to imagine, The negroes obtain the drug in tablet form, buying it at the suffers tent ard those in charge make no effort to check the growth of the habit. Some of tEe bosses are accused of secretly approving of the habit, for the reason that 1t makes the negroes contented. There is

An interesting experiment was re- gently performed to show that the tenn perature of air may be raised to a very high degree by an explosion in the vicinity It is stated that a compress sion of 200 atmospheres would cause the temperature to rise to 1,060 degrees Gen. tigrade, and since explosives in bore holes can exert pressure of 5000 to 8, 900 atmospheres, the heat so produced would be sufficient to ignite gases in the neighborhood. In the experiment tending to confirm this view two cart ridges of ammonia nitrate safety explo- sive were suspended short distance apart and photograph taken at the instant of their explosion. In the pie ture a luminous flash appeared at the meeting-place of the two waves of ex- plosion, which is attributed to the air being so highly heated by the compress sion as to become luminous.

It is said that cheap fence telephone system for farmers has been in use in Texas for a long time. At Midland, on the southeastern foot of the great ''Staked Plain" large number of out lying cattle ranches are connected with the city telephone system in this man ner. Some of the lines are twenty-five to fifty miles in length, and according to one source of information are even 100 miles long. The distance owing to the angles Is usually twice the air length. During ordinary weather they render perfect service; in damp weather they work rather poorly, owing to lack of insulation, The practicability of this plan has been known in this section for seven or eight years The system had it's origin in Australia.

The Battle
Of the Ballots.
BROWN COUNTY FUSIONISTS MAKE
GREAT GAINS.
Secure Majority Of the County Officials
and Poll an Increased Vote for
Bryan and Lind.

Up to the time of going to press We'd
nesday forenoon, the returns from both
county and state are necessarily very in
complete although Bryan and Lind show
very material gains in all precints from
which returns have been received.
For the city of New Ulm thereturns
convey the most satisfactory intelligence
for the fusion forces, the three wards of
the city giving Bryan 497 and Mckinley
451, gain of $50 for Bryan against
four years ago. On the vote for COVER
nor the gain was equally marked, Lind's
majority being being 80 more than in
1898, his total gain in votes being 142.
The total vote standing Lind $50, Van
SAINT 3O6.
In the county present returns show
that McCleary and Mathews are running
close with the chances in favor of Math-
ews. For representative Peterson car
ries New Ulm by so, the vote being Pet
erson 537, Ochs 487.
Coming down to the county ticket
Vogel for auditor is undoubtedly elect
ed by a good majority. For treasurer,
Schneider, fusion, carried the city by
$50 and is undoubtedly elected: For
register of deeds Miller's majority in the
city IS rs and his election is conceded.
Matter, fusion candidate for sheriff, car.
ries New Ulm by 500 and his election is
practically assured. For judge Of pro-
bate there is very little doubt of the
election of George, fusion, he having car
ried. the CITY by 263 votes and nearly all
returns from outside precincts showing
comfortable majorities. The final count
for attorney will show a very close run
between Olsen and Holdale with the
chances at tins time in favor of Hoidale's
election, his majority in New Ulm being
245. For surveyor Boock carries New
Ulm by but 35 but is probably elected,
Cutting, fusion candidate for superin-
tendent of schools, is without doubt
elected, carrying New Ulm by $50.
DR.. Fritsche, fusion candidate for cor
oner, carries his home town by an even
500 and is considered to have even chan
ces with Welcome, republican, in the
balance of the county excepting in Sleepy
Eye which gave Welcome majority of
1913.
For county commissioners the first
district elected Hoffman,, fusion, while
in the third district Eckstein, fusion, is
certainly elected.
