Letter from Minnesota.

Red Wing, Mimi, March II, 1900.
EDITOR NoRTHERNER:-
Perhaps a few words from this part of
the world might be of interest to some
of the readers of your paper. Times are
"way up" in Minnesota. Plenty of work
and wages good. Farmers are already
hiring help for the coming summer, ex-
pecting to gain thereby.
People are nearly all expansionists
here. There are few pro-Boers, but
they are mostly so for political effect;
trying to make it appear that the admin
istration is in cahoots with England and
by this means, ALLEVIATE some of the Ger
mans from the g. p. The Northwest
is solid for free trade with Porto Rico.
Only few words more, and this last
may interest church goers. In the
churches of this city of nine thousand
people, the ladies all remove their hats,
Notwithstanding the fact that the. seat
ing is on an incline. They remove the
head gear at one time, and just as the
minister arises to begin his sermon. 1t
surely is a great transformation scene.
1t is like a forest suddenly taken away
that had been obstructiHg the view.

the cart and go up on the fort. Here we
would behold scene that is too grand
for my pen to attempt to describe, but
/ will give you just an outline of it. AS
you ascend the old crumpled stone steps
you come face to face with the Pasig
river with its hundreds of boats and
vessels, ranging from the native canoe,
operated by single native with pad
die, to the enormous ocean liners with
their powerful engines. AS you turn
and walk across the wall, you stand
within the circle of the carriage rail on
which the only gun that fired on Dewey's
feet from Fort Santiago is located. We
would pass through the entrance to the
underground retreat or tunnel, where at
one time you could have gone to nearly
any place you wished; then on to the
Chinese portion, which is more or less
run by Cinnamon. Just now they are
celebrating Christmas and everything is
decorated with red bunting. After we
have taken all this in, We dismiss the
driver, pay him for the trip, about GU
cents i'm Mexican, or 30 cents in Ameri-
can money.
So will leave you. but before we part
you will say that you have seen more
since we first took the carometto, than
you ever saw before in the same length
of time.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous Inning of the eusta-
chian tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation eau be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition
the hearing will he destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

SOMETHING BETTER THAN THE OLD saw

The saying about the lion and the

there is another and better one which
is literally true. When March comes in

to purify, enrich and vitalize your blood,
you may expect, when it goes out, that
it will leave you free from that tired feel

eruptions which manifest themselves be-
cause Of impure blood in the spring. IL
you have not already begun taking

assure you it will make you feel better all

The New Double Sleeve.
The new double sleeve can be utilized
to excellent effect on the winter tailor
made gowns. The sleeve is usually
short on the jacket and puffed on the
blouse which is worn underneath. Many
street gowns of the tailor order are
made to wear without an underbIouse
or bodice; the undersleeve is slim one,
while the ceinture under the bolero car

are not likely to be lightly dispensed
with.
1t seems as though bodices with long
pointed fronts and bird-tail backs would
be popular. Long StoleS in front, en-
broidered or otherwise richly trimmed,
are gradually making themselves con-
spicuous on costumes intended for fall
wear The use of embrOiderieS and 9TH
er fancy trimmings makes the cost of
the fashionable dress something appai
ling. Not only are all constructed of
expensive material, but what with
stitchings, shirrings. hand painting and
hand enbroideries, so much work is put
upon the gowns that it is no longer pos
sible to have a gown of the more elab-
crate sort made at the price at which

Autumn Lingerie.
Corset covers are made to take up just
as little room under the dress waist as
possible. Many women do not wear
them at all. eontending that they take
up too much room under the waist of the
gown. But those that are turned out
are made Of the finest possible material,
and are not very deliberately trimmed.
The fichu corset cover is as popular as
ever, and now new era has come in
play. 1t is to have this same fichu
made to tie in the back, or rather to
have the ends cross in the back. 1t is
the best possible kind of corset cover
to wear with shirt waists, for it holds
the figure in place better than any other
thing that has yet been designed. 1t
is trimmed with a narrow beading of
lace and a fine lace edge. The ends are
long enough to cross at the back, and
have ends of tape that tie in front. 1t
takes up very little room, and with the
low busted coTSetS that are fashionable,
makes it often possible for stout women
to wear shirt waists and look well in
them without having them boned or
