A Great rlOdern Daily.

The greatest feat of modern civiliza-
tion is the modern newspaper.
This thought comes to mind almost
every day as we take from it's wrapper
The Minneapolis Tribune. 1t is simply
astounding how much in the way Of
information and fact. as we'll as intelli-
gent comment one can buy for a cent
new and fresh every day.
There is something to be said about
The Tribune which probably is untrue
of any other Twin City daily. 1t is con-
sistently and persistently Republican.
The Tribune never goes off after false
gods nor do the flesh pots of Office or
the allurements Of gain ever swerve it
from it's support of the right. At the
same time. it is modest in its efforts to
shape party policy and the selection of
candidates for office.
All this may be understood, however,
from the fact that The Tribune is in no
sense an organ; it is newspaper-with
tAo dCCouI upod I1O A0Wo'
No doubt this accounts for its over
topping circulation. When paper in
Minnesota averages for an entire year
over $4,000 circulation, as The Tribune
did (5O,1S5 for the year ending March
81, 19OO), it is going to more people, con-
sidering the number Of people within its
field than any paper we know of.
There are more kinds of people in
Minnesota interested in the dog in The
Tribune's daily cartoon than in any
other one daily creation. These car
toons are inimitably funny, and at the
same time full of good sense, They
drive home witty thrust when a whole
column of editorial might glance Of
ineffectiye.
The Tribune has recently moved into
it's new marble front building, of which
it is justly very proud. Its equipment
is said to be without exception the
finest and most up-to-date in America.
No money has been spared to make it
so and the paper tells on its face that it
is the product not only of the best
mechanical facilities, but the best news
paper brains and character in the
Northwest. ...
We feel like saying to others "Toe the
mark with The Minneapolis Tribune"

with various earth batteries, the cir
Gle of the larger works defending the
Boer capital. Behind the great redoubt
mentioned are the principal magazines,
one excavated out of the solid rock,
with a bombproof roof, and the other
built into the kloop, also bombproof
Communication between the redoupt
and the aforementioned magazine is by

meet all these forts with the capital,

An English view of what can be done
with the Pretoria Notifications Is
found in the following description OF
the liege train en- route from England.
This is the second train of its kind
sent out from England during the last
forty-six years. The last occasion was
when sixty-five heavy guns and NOR
tars were sent from Woolwich for the
siege of Sebastopol, where, with fifty
ship guns, they took part in the bonn
bardment of that city in connection
with the French siege train. The train
now on it's way out from England COM
prizes thirty howitzers, fourteen OF d
inch cahber, eight of 5-inch and eight
of 4-inch. 1t is calculated that the in
vestment of Pretoria will require AZ
900 British troops, leaving the remain
der of the army to guard the fortifica-
lions, occupy certain strategetic points
and operate against that part of the
Boer army not required for the defense
of Pretoria. This part of the Boer army
is expected to fall back into the north
in the Zoutpansberg mountains, which
the Beers are reported to intend to
make their stronghold, and where they
expect to carry on the war against
England indefinitely.

Out Second Best,
In a Kennebec church Sunday week,
says the Lewiston Journal, new min

a try-had about as much trouble as
usually falls to the lot of one poor
candidate. He arrived early at the
church and found that the furnace was

ianitor and the gathering congregation
opened the windows and labored with
the furnace, and at last cleared the
room enough so that the minister was
dimly discernible through the blue
producing haze. The services
started with a congregation whose
eyes were aflame and minister who
was beginning to get uneasy. The vol
untary was nearly over when one of
the stops failed and shrill, high pipe
began to whistle. 1t pcrvaded the score
of the music and the organist couldn't
drown it out, no matter how much he
hammered the other keys. At last he

stop in hopeless wrath, but to no avail.
The music kept pouring out despite all
ne could do. The congregation wore
a broad grin. The minister tried to
look as though nothing had happened,
and the services went On. The next
hymn went all right-it didn't contain
he note that bothered-aRd the pa-son
and the organist breathed easier. Then
came the last hymn before the sermon,
and once more the single, piercing note
rose high above the tune the organist
was playing. The last verse was sung,
the organist paused and the congrega-
ion rustled into their seats and settled
themselves fer the sermon. But the

ries, has discovered the real reason
why girls are so much taller at the end
of the century than they were at the
beginning and middle. The truth, we,
are told, is that they eat twice as much
as their predecessors. A small appe-
title used to be considered de rigueur;
to be hungry, per contra, was vulgar.
But the modern maiden makes no pre-
tense Of living on air, or love, or
meringues, or jelly, or whatever I'M
substantial fare it was that was sup
posed to nourish the girl of other days.
She has good hearty appetite, and
she is at no pains to conceal it; indeed.
she rather vaunts it than otherwise. A
good dinner she thoroughly appreci-
ates, and when she can get meat she
never trifes with fripperies. There is
doubtless a great deal in this very pro-
sale explanation of an obvious fact.
But if it be true, then we must keep
our girls we'll in hand. Increase Of

book, which is worth several times It's
weight in gold, is Charles H. Meigs OF
81 Eastman street, who is also the
publisher of the other tiny book NEE
toned, the one that is the smallest in
the world. This smallest book in the
world measures just three-eighths OF
an inch by half an inch over all. There
are thirteen pages in it, and the work
has been done in Cleveland printing
establishment The type was set by
hand, and then the pages photographed
down to the limit of dlstinctness,
though the book can only be read with
a magnifying glass. Under strong
glass, however, the work is seen to be
distinct and perfect. 1t is printed on
genuine India paper, and this is one
of the most interesting things about
the tiny book. The Oxford Press, the
English Bible publishing concern, con-
trolls all the genuine India paper pro-
duced, and it was with the greatest
difficulty that enough was procured to
make even the ten copies of this tiny
book. 1t is said that the paper was
surreptitiously obtained. The title of
the book is THUS Spake the Wind"

lar interest.

they are not really books in the esti-

in stiff little blue covers. 1t was made
in London in 1886 by Schloss. 1t has

Eager for Gold,

Nicaragua boasts volcano called
Misaya, about which a curious but
hardly credible story is told. When, in
1922, the Spaniards overrun the state,
the volcano was very lively. Many Of
the victorious Spaniards thought that
the raging fire at the foot of the crater
was neither more nor less than purest
gold in molten state. The puzzle was
how to get it. But at last few men,
more foolish and more venturesome
than their mates, had themselves low
cred down until by means of an iron
chain with a bucket at the end of it,
they could reach the fiery mass. OF
course, as soon as the bucket neared
the surface it was melted in moment,
and the silly fellows, when drawn up,
were half dead from the heat and the
'N,isOnouS smoke.

We want small American retailers
over here, writes a soldier from the
Philippines. Wherever the army goes
they should follow. Something should
be done to encourage them to come
here. They should be guaranteed pro-
lection, and in times of trouble an
asylum for themselves and their prop
erty in army quarters. We want
American retailers of shoes, clothing,
haberdashery, stationery, provisions
and canned goods. We want small res
taurants and beer saloons. The pre-
vailing margins of profits are enor-
nous. The stock necessary is small.
A few hundred dollars would buy it.
I'm beginning to think since 1 came
over here that the Yankee is the slow
est man on earth. Every other ma
tionality is getting a hand in on the
Philippines. What is the matter with
the American? He isn't coming fast
enough and is missing big opportuni-
ties.

query, "Who buys an American book?"
expressed English appreciation of Am
erican literature before Longfellow,
Bryant, Emerson, Lowell, Hawthorne,

they pay good prices for them. 1t is

of Giantesses?
Why are almost all girls tall nova
days? Or, perhaps, one should rather
say, how is 1t that modern maidens are
so much more developed than those OF
a generation or two back? We have
been assured that 1t is because they
take so much more outdoor exercise,
and because they go in for physical
training, that they have literally Sown

this theory deduced. But we are never
