Palm Leaves as Cradles.

In the palm region of the Amazon
river there is tribe which cradles
their infants in palm leaves. A single
leaf, turned up around the edges by
some native process, makes an excel
lent cradle, and now and then it is
made to do service as a hath tub.
Strong cords are formed from the
fibers of another species of palm, and
by these this natural cradle is swung
alongside tree, and the wind rocks
the little one to sleep. Long ago the
Amazonian mothers discovered that it
was not wise to leave baby and cradle
under cool palm, for the mischiev-
GUS monkey delighted to drop nuts
downward with unerring pecision. An
older child is stationed nearby to
watch the baby during his siesta, and
the chatter of monkeys overhead is
enough to cause speedy migration.

A Question for Bryan.

Will Mr.. Bryan order the with
drawal of the American troops from
the Philippine islands Immediately on
becoming president if he is elected
That is fair question, which calls
for a frank and manly answer. He
says he is against imposing govern
ment on people. Does he mean it or
is he only using a catch phrase to get
votes? If he means it, then it must
be that he will instantly withdraw
our troops and give the Filipinos a
free chance to set up such govern
ment as they desire and murder such
foreigners as they please; for if our
exercise of authority there is an out
rage and our occupation so wicked as
to have justified Aguinaldo's attack
on our troops while they were main
tanning order in Manila before the
conclusion of the war with Spain,
then the quicker we leave the better.
In deciding intelligently between the
parties it is essential to know what
the first steps of either would be.
Let Mr.. Bryan tell the people squarely
what he would do. Would he imme-
diately withdraw the troops?-N. Y.
Tribune.

He knows that the choice will be one Of the

To make up his mind which is best--or
which worst
Then vote as he thinks: it's silly child's
play,
In contest like this to throw ballots

Lack of sense. too much "culchah." too
much self-conceit-
One of these is the cause. and sometimes
they meet.
If you think both are evil you ought to

The one which is least; you can't always
expect
To have choice of the best; but the world
will advance,

That it cannot be settled. say, three years
from hence,
Just as we'll as to-day; but you've got to
expect
From Bryan's election an instant effect;
The result to our finances must be delayed,
A fact that the ants don't seem to have
weighed;
They've lost all perspective, all power to
judge
OF existing relations: The Empire; what
fudge!
When an enemy's pressing you sharply In
front,
Good sense and good discipline certainly
won't
Let you fire in the air, because, haply, you
fear
You may be attacked later on In the rear.

in his brain,
And turns it, and talks 1t, again and again,

ROYAL LOVE MATCH.
Beauty of Lowly Station Now Is
Queen of Servia.
Young King Alexander Lost His Heart
to the Pretty Widow of an En-
gineer and Forgot All About
His Station.

The king of Servia has married him
self to the beautiful woman beyond the
pale of royalty, and the Servian throne
shakes violently thereat. Who ever
heard of king marrying anybody but
another queen, or at least princess?
But Nine. Draga Maschin was neither
queen, princess or even humble Off
spring or a cousin to royalty. But she
is now queen. In fact, the young king
of Servia has quite set the courts of
Europe by the ears.
Nine. Maschin was a widow. She has
no title, nor has her family. Her father
was minor court official. Her reputa-
ton is spotless, though. She is quite
poor. She is likewise young.
Before she was out of her teens the
girl was married off to an engineer.
She had but few years of wifehood,
which were very unhappy. Then her
husband died, leaving her still young
and more beautiful than ever, but quite
sad.
The king of Servia, whose father abb
Dictated the throne in his favor chiefly
because there would have been revo-
luton if he hadn't, went a-seeking a
wife year ago. He thought, of course,
that he must have princess of royal
blood for his queen. There being none
at home, he went abroad.
He saw the king of Belgium, who
said that he wasn't marrying any of
his daughters just then. He took a

Important Ruling.

The ages between which children
may be received into the model de-

established by the state normal board
according to ruling made by the at
torney general. The question asked
of the superintendent or public in
struction by the normal board was
whether it had the power to include
in the curriculum of its model schools
the kindergarten department, and re-
ceive into the latter pupils of less
than five years, which admits children
to the general schools. The attorney
general holds that it may, inasmuch
as it does not participate in the appor-

tation fixed by the legislature.

Secretary Randall of the state fan
is very much pleased with the outlook
for the exhibit in the department of
vegetables and farm products. At one
time this summer the prospects for
this part of the show We're rather du-
bious but now they are frst-class. The
individual exhibits from farmers and
gardeners will be large as well as the
big county exhibits which are the
cream of the districts represented.
N. S. Gordon, of Crookston, is super
intendent of division j, which covers
the subjects of garden and field pro-
duce from the farms. The premium
offers for this division have been ar
ranged with great care for the en-
enlargement of individual as well as
county displays.
Eighteen collections of vegetables
are enumerated. The first lot is col
lection of fifteen varieties with pre-
miums of $40, $3.50 and S.. Then fol-
low special collections of beets, cab
bage, celery, sweet corn, etc., the pre-
miums being usually So, So and 81. An
exception is made in the case of early
and late potatoes where the range is
SIS, 81 and So.
In single varieties there are offered
no less than three premiums in lis
lots ranging down the vegetable
alphabet from beans to watermelons.
The premiums are usually So, 81 and
soc, though in the case of potatoes,

There is no Sabbath In China, but
to make up for this there are many

day of the year, and then everybody
makes merry and celebrates the day
with good eating and drinking. The
first three days of the lunar year and
several days about the middle of April
are devoted also to worship at the

merrymaking are the two solstices
and the festival Of the dragon boats.
