MINNESOTA NEWS.
A County Zine Fight.

County Auditor Minor, of Hennepin
county, has decided to include six Sec
tions of Ramsey county OH the tax
rolls of Hennepin county, and if he
carries out his intentions, there will
be trouble for the people living in the
strip included in the three westerly
sections of the town Of Rose and the
city of St. Paul.
The trouble over the strip is due to
an error in fixing the boundaries be-
tween Hennepin and Ramsey counties.
The legislature tried to correct the
error, which was simply a clerical one,
but inadvertently moved the line one
mile farther west than was originally
intended. 1t il; claimed that the latter
act is illegal, because it was done by
resolution, when it should have been
done by law. Thus the original act
stands with an error Of course, but it
is claimed that the mistake il" clearly
clerical one and does not affect title
to the land.

Self Restraint In Women a Mark OF

An obvious remedy for the nervous.

commonplace, but it is sensible not.
withstanding. Haste inevitably makes
waste in human experience. Delightful
as is the last nap on the drowsy
pillow, difficult as it seems to waken
a little earlier, to get the bath and the
dressing and the little interval for
quiet thought which should be the
prelude to every ones day, small sac.
rifice, a trifiing degree of resolution
will enable any person in normal
health to secure an extra half-hour in
the morning. The extra time, so easily
secured, so precious in the gifts it bears
in it's hand, will make you and me the
worldwide difference between dignity
and irritation, between composure and
fussiness, writes Margaret Sangster in
Harper's Bazar.
A woman should face the situation.
whatever it be; discover, if there is
any flaw, what has caused it, and then
calmly and gently, as her province is,
see about setting it right. Half oul
worries spring from some occult occa-
sion which we may overcome, and much
knowledged, is born in worry. Some OF
it comes from subtle springs which are
located deep in the fountain of our be.
ing, and these are often so incompre.
| hensible to our friends that they sur.
vey our weakness with little patience.
Generations of us, from Mother Eve
down, have shrieked in every note OF
the gamut at such of our pet aversions
as have crossed our pathway, and the
woman of the twentieth century has
in her brain the wayworn tracks made
for her by her forebears. From know
| ing that course of action is unwise
and inconsiderate to seeing what may
be done to rectify it is often the step
| which costs most and counts for most.
Every time when we remain silent.
| though the desire to speak beats in.
| sistently at the door of our lips; every
time when, though ready to rush or
! to fly or to exclaim with vehemence
we are simply quiet, holding ourselves
in with bit and rein, we make real
! gain in self-restraint.
| And self-restraint in women marks
the line of divergence between the un.
trained person and the thoroughbred,
between the gentlewoman and her low
estate. Voluble self-pity, emphasized
dislike, exaggerated statements of emo.
tion, unreasoning terror, all help to de-
moralize the nerves and make the WON.
an a sort of nervous degenerate, and
her power to control herself-her pow.
er to shut off steam, to sidetrack an
annoyance or conquer fright-grows
as she practices it. By every act Of
calmness she gains in the essentials
which keep her spirit calm and free
from agitation.

PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY.

We make way for the man who bold
~ pushes past us.-Bovee.
Men are as old as they feel, and wom-
en- as they look.-Italian Proverb.
No woman can be handsome by the
force of features alone, any more than
she can be witty only by the help of
speech.-Hughes.
Adversely is sometimes hard upon a
man; but for one man who can stand
prosperity, there are a hundred that
will stand adversity-Carlyle.
I look for power in the man; he af-
firms the dignity of the law; but the
woman rules, and she will continue to
rule, through grace alone.-Schiller.
A traveller at Sparta, standing long
upon one leg, said to Lacedaemonian:
II do not believe you can do as much" !"
"True," said he, "but every goose can"

No nobler feeling than this, of ad-
miration for one higher than himself,
dwells in the breast of man. It is to
this hour, and at all hours, the vivify-
ing influence in mans life.-Carlyle.

Evil of Fried Food.

No one who has taken the trouble to
scan the average American bill of fare
can fail to recognize the Importance
of the frying pan with us; fried ham
or bacon and eggs, fried oysters, fried
potatoes, fried steaks, and so on, ad
nauseum, seem to be staple articles OF
food. What can be done to lessen the
friedfood nuisance? Perhaps moth.
ing so long as present conditions exist.
so long as the highest ideal of the peo.
pie is to accumulate dollars rather
than to develop and preserve healthy
bodies which shall be the servants OF
healthy minds. Yet if those who teach
physiology in our public and other
schools understood their subject and
it's practical applications as they
should; if there were more schools in
which wholesome, economical cookery
were taught as it should be; if physi.
clans took every opportunity to i'm.
press such facts of practical hygicnic
Importance as they should, there can
be no doubt that by some sensible
and well-informed people the fried
denominations would be avoided.-Phil.

Wounded 1sUnbekn0wnst."
One of the colonial war correspond
ents narrates a curious incident that
came under his notice at the Rietfon-
tein engagement. A private of the
Natal mounted rifles had his horse
shot, and Immediately cried out: '"I'm
hit" Nonsense, man; it's only your
horse" cried a comrade, and the man,
accepting the assurance, went on fight
ing. He returned to camp with his
corps, strolled about in the evening,
suffered during the night from what
he called spasms, and only next morn
ing discovered that .Mauser bullet
had gone clean through his body.
Then he collapsed, and was taken to
the hospital. The moral would seem
to be that ignorance is bliss on, the
battlefield as elsewhere, and that The
consequences of being perforated by
Mauser bullet are not worse than in
the case of a ee-Metford performing
the operation.-London Chronicle.
