RELIC OF THE WOODEN NAVY

Old Hrigate Franklin VIII Soon Be
 Abandoned as Useless.
 From the Washington Star. "Tha ancient frigate Franklin. a relic of the old wooden navy, which has been used for many years as receiving ship at the Norfolk navy yard, is soon to be q deserted hulk, said naval oGicer,who has recently visited the Virginia naval station. She was examined not long ago by board of officers and it is be- lieyed they will submit a eondemnatory report. The policy Of the department as is generally understood. k to do away with the time-honored but an tiquated and out-9f-date system Of re- ceivtng ships, substituting for them shore barracks similar in general char aetef to the quarters occupied by en- listed men at army posts. The iaekies of the old school are much opposed Co this plan. They cling to their old fogy ideas Of a seafaring life and believe a recruit should be placed upon the water from the very first To break him in on shore and have him live in bar racks, they say, will make the fellow IandIubber all of his natural life While the receiving ships of today are noth- ing more than great floating houses. there is nevertheless an air Of the sea about them and this the old dogs among the men love. DIsmantled and roofed over, the ships haven't much resemblance to seagoing craft. An other thing in connection with the re- ceivfng ships is that the families of commanding officers are allowed to live aboard The Franklin is historic old boat. and it has been suggested that one might buy her when she is put up at auction and place the craft on ex- hibition in different ports This would hardly seem to be a profitable under ratina"

Somebody, very learned, once took the trouble of weighing the brains of a number of animals, and found that the brain of a tame rabbit weighed less for it's size than the brain of any other known creature-much less than that of 3 wild rabbit.

an address recently delivered before
the British Medical association by It's
president, Dr. Ward Cousins. Among
other things DIR. Cousins discussed the
future progress of preventive medicine
and predicted a steady and great de-
cline in the death rate in the coming
century. Tor the realization of this
great object he looked, above all, and
rightly looked, to an improvement in
the conditions and In the dwellings Of
the working classes And he was es.
pecially right in pointing out that this
Improvement cannot come from mere
legislation. The great mass Of the
people must become willing and active
helpers" he said, and in equally true
words he showed how largely the pre-
Yention of suffering and the preserva-
ton of health are within the reach OF
the working classes in our great towns
if they will only cultivate temperance
and cleanliness. In this connection
we are gratified to observe the action
of the New York health board in dis

nfastodons In Beaver Dana

The discovery of the remains of a
mastodon near Newburgh, New York.
last summer, recalls the fact that the
best preserved skeleton of one of these
huge animals now to be found in our
museums was also discovered in a
marsh near Newburgh. That part Of
the Hudson Valley appears to have
been fa4orite haunt for these Ameri-
can elephants. Inspection of the place
where tie latest discovery was made
emphasizes the fact that beavers were
contemporaries of the mastodons, and
that beaverdsms were as perilous as
QuicksaneS for the massive beasts who
yentured to set foot In them.

If the politicians of the Democrat

their disgraceful family fights in
the future as they have in the past,
they will wake up some September
to find a full set of Republican

leaders a seat in the back ground
and then perhaps they might enjoy

THIRTY-TWO ENTRIES.

We do not hesitate to say that the
third annual meeting Of the Steele
County Driving Park Association was
bowling success from every point Of
view; surprising all former efforts.
The best goers in the country-32 of
them-Were here, and the association
feels delighted that everything passed
off 30 harmoniously. The first day was
an ideal one, about perfect for fast time,
while the wind was strong the second
day. No accidents occurred to mar the
pleasure, and all was happiness for the
two days. Everybody forgot his and
her troubles, poor crops and hard times,
and each one enjoyed the fun to their
hearts content.
The association extends its thanks to
it's patrons, one and all, and especially
does it feel grateful to L. S. Champine,
of Langdon, and Sheriff C. E. Wilson, of
Fargo, for assistance rendered, as start
