A peculiar character died in the
township of Melrose last week-a
hermit named Fred Just. For twenty
years he has lived on farm all alone.
He had several hundred acres of land
which he leased in part although most
hay and timber, his income consisting
in the sale of hay and stumpage. He
was taken ill with a violent attack of
what was supposed to be neuralgia of
the heart, and went to the house of a
neighbor for some liniment, and died
while there. A brother came up from
Mankato and took charge of the re-
mains which were taken to Mankato
for burial. He was an eccentric char
acter and gave no information rela-
tive to his own affairs or as to his
family other than that he had a bro
ther as above indicated.

WOMEN AT PAS-AMERICAN.

One of the many interesting features
of the Pan-American Exposition. at
Buffalo. is an extensive exhibition OF
women's manufactures. The general
public little realize the extent and i'm
portance of this class of industries. 1t
has been made apparent to the Board
of Women Managers of the exposition,
however. by the numerous applications
from prospective exhibitors. One wom-
an makes rugs and has built up quite
an industry. She keeps a large num-
Der of wives and daughters OF New
England farmers busy with her work.
Another manufactures artistic Jewel
settings, another exquisite things iu
pottery, another carved and decorative
leather goods, etc. In fact, the wom-
ems manufactures are so many that
1t would require much space to enumer-
ate them all. The committee on ap-
piled arts of the Board Of Women
Managers has arranged to establish in
the manufactures and liberal arts
building a commodious booth in which
articles manufactured by women may
be exhibited at a nominal cost to the
exhibitors, and arrangements will be
made under which orders may be TAX
en- for articles like those displayed.

SHOWN VERY LITTLE I'M
PRoVEMENT RECENTLY.
Bulletins Issued Are Very Guarded in
Their language-Patient Unable
to Take Solid Food-President
Continually At Her Bedside,
Watching Every Movement.

Washington. June 6.-Dr. RiXey
made his usual nightly visit to the
White House shortly after 3 o'clock,
and remained about an hour and a
half. On leaving he said Mrs. Nc
kinley is resting very comfortably
now. She has gained "A great deal this
evening, but there is no marked
change. She is doing very we'll"
While the improvement in Mrs. Nc
Kinley's condition is slight. the fact
that there had been no set back during
the day. but on the contrary a slight
gain. was gratifying to the White
House household. and the president cX-
pressed his pleasure several times dur
ing the evening. In view. however.
of the gravity of the condition of the
too much significance should not be at
tached to the slight improvement
shown. Both ups and downs have
marked the progress of her illness. and
it is realized that whatever gain or i'm
prOvement is shown may prove but
temporary. For this reason the bulle-
tins as officially announced by the ply
sicianS once a day refer to the gain in
condition in very guarded language.
President Mckinley is spending a large
part Of his time at his wife's bedside.
He was out driving an hour, however,
just before supper and returned re
freshed.
The brightest bulletin issued by the
attending physicians regarding Mrs.
Mckinley's condition since her return
to Washington was given out yester-
day after a consultation. They report
ed her general condition" somewhat
improved. but it was remarked that it
held out nothing definite for the flu
ture. Mrs. Mckinley has beer unable
as yet to take solid food, although it
has not been necessary to resort to
powerful heart stimulants like nitro
glyccrine. Since her return to Wash
ington brandy has been administered
her food.
To Il visitor who saw President Nc
Kinley last afternoon the president
said that he felt much encouraged by
the slight change for the better in Mrs.
Mckinlcy's condition and expressed a
strong hope that the tide had turned
and from now on she might continue
to improve.

THE FASHIONABLE FERRONIERE.

Any maid or matron of an original

step ahead Of the coming fashions, has
an admirable opportunity Just now for
attaining that desirable end, writes one
Of the commentators on modes from

suggesting that the f%erroniere is COM

than forty years.
But what Is the ferroniere? you ask.
Most people only now it from the con-
slant references to the ornament in
T%hackeray's earlier works, where 1t
appears continually a s the finishing
touch in an ultra smart woman's get

have phrased it, in the attire Of a truly

Mere was the forehead jewel. familiar
in old Book of Beauty" ~engravings.
It was generally attached to a band
of black velvet, and consisted Of a large
uncut stone held in a heavy would-be
classical setting of worked gold. The
idea in itself was graceful enough, and
women with regular features looked
we'll with the %ferroniere. but the heavy
blob OF gold and amethyst or car
buncle was extremely trying to all but
classical faces.
The new style OF ferroniere will be
entirely different, and much more be-
coming. 1t has come in as an inevi-
table sequel to the uncovered forehead,
having been heralded some years 8
by the diamond stars and crescents
which were worn clasped low down In
the heavy fringe Of the day. Today's

ODD FREAKS OF LIGHTNING.
Seemingly Incredible CHpric-s of tn.
Electric Fluid.

Electric Fiu!u-
Camille Flammarion, the ~well-known
French astronomer and writer. has for
some time been making a special study
u the effects of lightning on men. an
lmals and other objects. and in order
to Illustrate the freakish conduct OF
lightning he recently told some stories
which seem incredible.
During August of last year. he says,
a young man was struck by lightning
and was taken a distance of so yards
without being in the least conscious
that any thing unusual had happened
to him. The lightning threw him
against the wall of a house. yet he
only received a wound on his knee,
whereas two cows. which were 200
yards away from him, were killed.
Frequently lightning strikes those
persons who take shelter under trees.
Three soldiers sought refuge some time
ago under n linden tree and all three
were struck and killed as they stood,
side by side. Though dead. they main
tanned their erect position, but their
bodies. when touched, crumbled away
into dust.
Flammarion's stories. however. are
not all as tragical as these. Thus he
tells OF two peasants who were prepar-
ing to eat breakfast, when suddenly
the dishes were thrown on the ground.
the bread, cheese and fruit vanished
from the table and they themselves
were covered with straw On another
occasion "A man walking through
Nantes was enveloped in lightning. yet
was not injured. When he reached
home, however. and opened his purse,
which had contained two pieces OF sill
yer and one of gold. he found that the
gold piece had vanished and that in It's
place was a silver piece. The light
Ming had, in fact. pierced through the
leather of the purse and had covered
the gold piece with a coating of silver

CHANGE THE WORLDS MAP.

GenRH LnhY.

Recent Events Have Puzzled Students OF
GeoEr .phy.
Why, where is Patagonia? was the
astonished query recently put to me by
An old schoolmate, as, carelessly turn
ing the leaves of his little son geogra-
ply, he suddenly came upon a recent
map of South America, says a writer in
Scribner's Magazine. The boundaries
which we boys had once regarded as
commutable had changed. and the
map. which the vivid impression OF
youth had engraved firmly upon u
memory, was no longer in existence.
The experience of my friend. a man
of considerable intelligence, is not an
isolated instance. The rapidity Of u
geographical progress within the last
decades has rendered it extremely diff
ficult for the la}man to follow the
course of events. In 1925 three great
continents were practically unexplored.
Australia, or New Holland, as it was
then called, was nothing more hal a
terra incognita-a mere geographical
idea; the asst expanse OF A~frica-with
the exception Of the Mediterranean
region and the little settlement at the
cape-was still the land OF wonder and
conjecture, and as it bad been in the
days of the Romans; while Central
Asia, with its millions of inhabitants.
was effectively closed to Europeans.
In the south nature had reared her
mighty barrier, the Himalayas, and in
the east we find China immured, both
in a literal and figurative sense. within
that gigantic wall OF exc~lusiveness
which seemed designed to screen for
ever from the prying gaze of the civil
lied world the sacred and inviolable
empire OF the sun" Yet It is upon the
American continent that the most mar
velous changes have been wrought
changes whose magnitude we. the liv-
ing witnesses. can scarcely appreciate.
As the rising flood imperceptibly but
steadily advances the water line, thus
constantly altering the contour OF the
beach, so the swelling tide Of popula-
ton, surging westward, has, through
this entire century. surely but inces-
sanity pushed forward that long west
ern boundary line OF 1900 miles, the
outlines Of which have never for q
moment remained the. same.
