GENEALoGIEs NEAR THE TOP.


Because of the increasing interest for
research in colonial, revolutionary and
subsequent history, and in genealogies,
this society's very extensive collection of
these works. ranking third or fourth in
the United States in size, attracts
large number of people who are tracing
their ancestral history. This collection
of American genealogies contains 1.214
books and 5S1 pamphlets, under about
$3.50 titles.
1t is the aim of the library committee
to make these departments as complete
as possible, by securing, through pur-
chase or donation all books and pam
phlets published in the United States and
Canada on American genealogy and
strictly local history.
Another department which is much
consulted is the complete series of re-
ports of the United States patent Of
flee.
The number of Individual portraits dis
played in the rooms of the society is 134,
besides twenty-five group pictures, which
comprise 1,035 portraits. Nearly all are
of pioneers and founders of Minnesota,
or of citizens who in more recent years
have had a prominent part in the his
tory and development of the state. There
are also 102 other pictures, as g. ancient
buildings, monuments, paintings of his
toric scenes, etc, and twenty-eight
framed documents, including a letter Of
George Washington, written in 1754.

A Worldwide Solace.

New York Tribune:
 More than 100000 acres of land are used in producing the annual crop of tobacco. and more than 750,000 tons of
 the leaves are puffed away into noth- ingness in every recurring twelve months.
 There's an old phrase often quoted. The world went very Neu then" Did
 it really go as well and as smoothly
 before Columbus crossed the Atlantic as it has been going since cigars and pipes and cigarettes came into so ex- tensive use? Four centuries ago, and
 in the many ages anterior to the ad. | venturous voyage of the great Genoese. | no human being outside of the dusky ! tribes of the new world had ever heard of a plant which has become one
 of the most cherished solacesy and de- | lights. of scores of millions of smokers. The epicures of olden Greece and
 ancient Italy spent fabulous sums upon
 luxurious feasts. but never dreamed
 that the dinners of thousands of years
 later would be crowned by clouds of fragrant Vapor.

discontent among the workingmen of the country. They do not exactly know what Is the matter with them. As a rule they are not dissatisfied with their wages and are certainly enjoying the highest degree of prosperity they have ever known. In the past four years they have had full employment, and have been gradually bettering themselves in every way. They are out of debt, have money in the savings banks. and can if they wish look for ward to another year of unexampled prosperity.
 And yet thousands of them to-day are throwing down their tools, turning their backs on the mills and factories and voluntarily courting the sharpest of disasters.
 To the general observer this is cur ious situation. and indeed almost mex plicab ble, and yet there must be some underlying principle that controls and governs it. Whether that principle is sound or not. there is no doubt that the leaders of this latest revolt believe in it.
 Their idea appears to be this, inst there must be d labor trust opposed to the great manufacturing trusts or else labor will be enslaved, and that in the end the great trusts will dictate the terms upon which men shall work.

Most Delicate of Machines.

No istrument needs more careful handling than ships chronometer. says The New York World.
 Every chronometer is tested for three years before it Is placed on sale. Every extreme of temperature is tried on it.
 The safety of every great ocean steamship depends upon the accuracy of these timekeepers. An error of four seconds may put captain four miles out of his course, and tiny speck of rust on the balance spring may be the cause of the error.
 On all large ships there are three chronometers to guard against acci- dents. These are sent ashore for in- spection the moment the vessel reaches port and kept until its depart- ure.
 A staff of skilled men are kept by every chronometer manufacturer, their work being to carry the delicate in struments back and forth between the ship and the workshop.
 When on shipboard the chronometer Is slowed in a dry place amidships, where there is least motion and varia- tion of temperature. The case in which it is kept is lined with soft curl ed hair, and it is snugly tucked into the center of a heavy woolen blanket.
 It is not surprising, therefore. that first-class chronometer costs as much as $250.

QUEER FUNERAL SERMON.
Minister Dwelt on the Dead Mans
 Failings Rather than Virtues.


 Marion Qnd) Special:
 The Rev. (. G. Miller, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, preached the funeral sermon of the late Con gressman A. N. Martin, and now Grand Army friends of the deceased and members of the bar are denouncing MT. Miller for his want of respect for Mrs. Martin and her daughter, both oS whom were present.
 Passing lightly over the virtues of the dead man, the minister held up to view his vices and gave a scathing re- view of the dead Congressman life. Among other things, Mir. Miller said that he had been born and reared in a Christian home. but left that home and it's teachings at the age of 12 and en- tered the army to serve his country.
 Ut you'd have been far D&ter," said Mir. Miller. If MT. Martin could have been shot on the field of battle than to have lived to lead the life he did. He was in public office the better portion of his life and made in one office $1OO, 1000, but was sent home for burial in a cheap pine coffin furnished by the gov ernment."
 He referred to ex-Congressman Mar tin as being a victim of the drink habit. and said:
 q have seen him sit here in the church and frown in displeasure as l have spoken on the temperance ques- ton. His life has been tragedy and the use of liduor has made 1t so"
 While the minister was arraigning the dead man the members of the bar, who had attended in body whispered among themselves. and would have left the church in a body but for the fact that no one would take the lead. Mrs.
