weak, if they feel tired if they have no ambition

OF time until you have to take them out of school.
Your own experience should teach you what we

genuineness of the phenomenon. In one second or third operator was talk en over the same ground as the first, and the results of their divination were identical and successful. Some of the leading spirits in the Society for Psy- chical Research hold that when the or dinary senses are lulled to inactivity by sleep, natural or hypnotic, a few per- sons of a peculiar organization exhibit a power of perception and a suscepti- bility to influence which is unlike that experienced by other people or by the same people under other circumstances. Professor Barrett regards this posses sion of a "supernorma" faculty the most satisfactory theory regarding the discovery of water with Witch-hazel tWig. He thinks that the successful op
 orator is self-hypnotized by fixing his attention on the twig. He says: This subconscious pereeptive power, com- monly called 'clairvoyance, may provi- sionally be taken as the explanation of those successes of the dowser which are ineXpllcable on any grounds at present known to science.

 girl who knew that God hated her and l decided to go into the garden and eat worms. King snakes disdain anything in the line of diet save smaller snakes l and that being beautiful example of retubutiVe justice even the s. F. c, A could offer no objections, Occasionally

 Snakes prefer eating at night. Many dealers bow to this preference and feed
 the snakes in the evening. They also give the creatures live food but at the Zoo the poor snakes are not only forced
 to take their food dead, but usually get it in the day time. Often they will not touch it until dusk falls.

THE OWNING ROD MYSTERY.
An English Professor's Explanation Af
 ter Careful Inquiry.

An English Professors Explanation Af-
 ter Careful Inquiry,
 The second installment of an elabor- ate report by Professor w, r. Barrett on the "so-called divlning rod' has just made it's appearance, Professor Barrett is a member of the Royal Society, occu- pies the chair of experimental physics in the Royal College of Science for Ire land at Dublin and has taken an active part in the work of the Society for Pry- chical Research,
 Three or four years ago Professor Barrett undertook a thorough investi- gaton of the subject, collecting all the stories he could obtain regarding the use of forked tWig for the discovery of water and minerals sitting them carefully, seeking such corroboration as might be available and planning eKper- iments of his own. The first part of his report, which came out in 1898, cited 152 cases. The second furnishes many more, some of them having been con- ducted under Professor Barrett's own supervision. A third installment is promised and will deal largely with the hunt for metals with the divining rod
 In describing the operation of "dows- ing" as this use of the forked witch hazel twig is locally called in England, Professor Barrett says that the opera tor usually holds the Y by the prongs, so that the stem projects in front of him and inclines upward slightly. When the dowser passes a spot where water is supposed to exist the tWig rises to a iIyt, l.; +1, breast. The dowser himself often ap- pears exhausted by his effort even com plaining of sickness or giddiness and breaking into precipitation. These are so marked in instances that he discards the twig altogether and is guided by his sensations alone. During the opera ton the dowser fixes his attention on the tip of the twig and becomes obliyi- ous to the world around him.
 Eminent people as well as those who are not conspicuous in public life in England employ doWsers. Professor Barrett includes Lords Salisbury and LansdoWne among their patrons. There are scores of professional doWsers in the United Kingdom, to say nothing of Continental Europe, the United States and Canada Amateurs also practice the art. In his first report Professor Barrett pronounced fairly successful 140 of the 150 attempts recorded, Rejecting the experiments of amateurs he gets ninety-tive successful results out of 105 cases. In the second report he finds the proportion about the same, but he admits that dowsers may not report their failures so fully and frankly as their hits. Still, he does not estimate the failure at more than 10 to 15 per cent of the attempts.
 Two sets of experiments have been tried with view to ascertaining the

Summer Health.

Warm weather ailments are
more numerous and more dan
gerous than cold weather all
ments. To be healthy and feel
good in the hot summer months
it is absolutely necessary that
the food taken into the stom-
ach be properly digested. If
the stomach is weak or been
overtaxed it needs assistance.
Cream of Spruce is the natural
remedy for all stomach dis
eases, such as dyspepsia, con-
stipation and inactive liver and
weak kidneys. 1t supplies that
which nature lacks to properly
digest the food, and by resting
the stomach it is soon restored
to its normal, healthy condi-
ton. Physicians prescribe
Cream of Spruce as it gives
best results. 1t is especially
beneficial to anyone recovering
from sickness, as it produces
flesh and makes the complex
ion clear, the blood rich and
pure. A tablet after each meal
will cure any case of dyspepsia
or catarrh of the stomach. Can
be had at any drug store in the
United States or Canada; %
and SOC boxes; or will be sent
postpaid by addressing East
wood Co., Homer, Michigan.

Little Pot VERY Hot"

Wahpeton, N. d., Sept. 4, 1900.
To the Editor of the Wahpeton
Times: Dear Sir:
In your last issue you print a
clipping that reflects OH an old
friend of mine that you will be
glad to know is utterly false.
The Hon. D. H. Mcmillan, re-
publican nominee for 8 ate
treasurer, in common with all
the other nominees, is eminent
ly fitted for the post to which
he aspires. Mr.. Mcmillan comes
of splendid stock whose pedi-
gree goes back to the Highlands
of Scotland. He came int O
Pembina county in pioneer
days and has risen to a prom
inent position in financial cir
cles as one of the largest mer-
chants and most substantial
bankers in the state. 1 knew
him when he lived on the quar-
ter section which he took up
as his homestead, and have en-
joyed his friendship for nearly
20 years. Among m y old
friends, no face brings with it
more sunshine than his and no
hand-grasp a mo genuine
thrill of pleasure. If he de-
served the description given by
this anonymous scribbler he
could not retain the respect of
his many friends.
Quite likely, if l wronged
him or tried to cheat him an
other side might have been
shown me. Highland Scotch
men, and for that matter, full
blooded descendants of the
crew of the May Flower are apt
under such circumstances t.
prove somewhat unmanage-
able. Successful men in North
Dakota and elsewhere, are gen.
erall y followed by a crowd OF
yelping ours, disappointed
fakes, who bark because they
are too small to bite. When
this writer says that Mr.. Nc
MILAN "is too ignorant to- keep
the simplest account book and
incompetent" &C., he simply
let's the cat out of the bag and
proves he is not speaking the
truth but only splitting: out his
venom. 1t is a case of Little
pot, very hot" Yours truly,

is the democratic nominee,
which facts indicate that Mr..

for the place. We have already

He has the ability and courage
to carry out his undertakings
and we believe he has the
qualities needed in the make
