MAKING CHARITY MARMALADE
Very Successful Business That Is
Carried on by New York
State Women.

The reduced gentlewoman who sells
iellies and jams for her own benefit
is familiar figure in the commercial
world. The big and little grocers take
her wares and the invalid deli
cacy" establishments charge fancy
prices for them. The gentlewoman
who makes marmalade for charity is
a different person, but her success has
been so encouraging financially that
women at their wits end to know what
to do for church fairs and village Ii
braries and other worthy objects may
take a leaf from the recipe book of
this philanthropic business woman.
Eight years ago Miss Watson,
young woman interested in church
work in country town, suggested to
a few of her fellow-workers that they
make some marmalade for sale, Civ
ing the proceeds to the parochial
charities of the village, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. The idea
met with favor, and the good church
women started to work in a business
like, practical manner
They knew how to make marmalade.
They were businesslike and practical
and they had executive ability. That
year III pounds of marmalade were
sold, and after all expenses were paid
there remained $6.75 profit. The fol-
lowing year both sale and profit near
~ doubled. The accounts for 1900 show
sale upward of $4,000 pounds. The
benefits of the manufacture were
quickly extended to other charities, a
large number of which now receive
contributions from the funds thus
raised, which are devoted entirely to
charitable purposes. The work is car
ried on upon strictly business lines.
Several cottages have been rented as
factory" and the village girls find
work in this new industry. The mar
malade is daintily put up, with orna-
mental labels, and is, of course, as
good as its raison d'etre, or it would
never have sold so well and for so long
a time.

Canadian Inbstera.

Canada now matches from 10000, 900
TO S0,000,000 Holsters a year. This,
however, is but little compared with
what Newfoundland has done. In no
other country in the world is lobster
Matching conducted on such a scale as
in that colony, or on so economical a
plan. This is owing to the invaluable
invention of floating incubators, which
can be used IN any suitable locality in
the neighborhood of canning estab-
lishment. They were originated by
Mr.. Nielsen, a Norwegian fish cultur-
list, who took charge of these opera
tions for the government of the island
a few years ago. BY their employment
an average of 450,000,0O0 Holsters a
year have been Matched and planted; so
that in seven years the enormous num-
Der of 3,150,00O,000 of lobster ova have
been brought to life. These life germs,
preserved and artificially Matched, are
all taken from female Holsters which
are brought to the various factories,

against her. She weighed about 100
pounds when she was in good health.
When she commenced with our family
ply sician in April, 1898, she weighed
about 100, but kept going down all the
time. She went to Atlanta, Ga, and
took treatment, but it did her no good.
Then she went to Harmony Grove, Ca,
and took treatment from the best
physician there for three months.
She kept going down under his treat
ment, although he was considered the
best physician in the county. She
went down from 1870 pounds to 6s, and
we saw she could not live long. She
was skeleton. We consulted an old
physician who told her to use Peruna.
She gradually improved and got
stronger. She has gained 80 pounds
since she has taken Peruna, and is
gaining every day, and does her own
housework.
''She was well known when she was
so low, and now everybody wants to
know what cured her. She had in
digestion and catarrh of the stomach.
1t is as good for children as for grown
people. We haven't had to have doc
tor for one of our children since 1898"

A. M. STEMS clothing store and

Tuesday night through the carelessness
of the janitor in turning water into the
boiler and going to sleep before he had

through the steam pipes into the radi-
ators and thence ran onto the floors
Between three and four o'clock this
morning, the patrolmen discovered the
water coming down into Mr.. Stein s
store, and notified him. The janitor,
on awaking, turned off the wtaer and
assisted Mr.. Stein to sweep out the
water on the second floor, which stop
ped it's coming through the steel CELL

on the first floor.
The clothing on the tables in the
front half of Mr.. STEMS store got a
wetting. He states that 800 suits were
wet, and places his loss at several hun
dred dollars. The bank has promised
to reimburse him. This is the second
time that his stock has been damaged

WHAT OF CHINA?

Three years ago, when the empress
dowager summarily deposed the en-
peror Kwang Hsu and took power into
her own hands she thereby gave en-
couragement to the boxers and put a
stop to all reforms that were under
way as result of the work of the
more liberal minded emperor. All the
world is familiar with what happened
as a result. Now she has reversed
her former steps and taken up the
work of reform and has issued an edict
to that effect. This order provides for
the institution of general system of
education with primary schools
throughout the empire. This is but
step, but if she has really taken up
this work in good faith, other import
ant steps will come in their own good
time Taken on the part of good faith,
there has been much speculation as TO
what the outcome will really be. The
st. Paul Dispatch in musing upon it,
says:
What will become of China? We
misunderstood the Chinese people as
much as it is possible for one part of
the human race to misunderstood an
other. We know that China has vast
possibili ties. We know next to moth
ing about the Chinese. We have con-
sidered them, as Falguet said, "une
quantite negligible" in the develop
ment of the human race. The western
attitude toward China has been that
of the belief that acres and not peo-
pie were to be dealt with. We have
spoken of them as atrophied as in a
state of arrested development. Under
meath that belief was the corollary that
they never would awaken. But we
have learned. If in no other way we
have met Minister WI Ting Fang.
We have found his truer cosmopoli-
tan than any other foreign representa-
tive. He is the best world type at
Washington. He is tolerant. sympa-
thetic, alert. knowing and weighing
all men. A race That produces such
man cannot be atrophied. A race that
produces such a man can and does pro-
duce other similar men,
The possibilities of the Chinese race
turning itself into Wus is not one to
be regarded with Indifference. We
have feared the "yellow peril" We
may yet fear it, but fear as one does a
worthy rival. The Chinese may yet
take their place among the races. We
may yet be glad to break down our
Chinese exclusion wall and accept yell
low citizens. The dowager empress is
not one to be despised when she under
takes reform. Educated China is a
fascinating possibility.

TIME FOR IMPROVEMENT.

The honorable city council would do
we'll to give just little attention to
the condition of Jackson street. There
is not country road in the county
that is as bad, and it is a shame that
it is SO. 1t is one of the most import
ant thoroughfares in the city, and it's
miserable condition is a shame and
disgrace. Again, there is not block
in the city that contains a like num-
Der of fine buildings, and the property
owners are entirely able to stand the
expense of a first class street Then
why is it permitted to remain in such
a detestable condition. 1t is up to the
council to go after it and redeem it
from it's almost impossible condition.
Will it move, aud move at once For
the sake of public traffic if not for
looks it would be a large credit mark
to the efficiency of the aldermen if
they would Immediately set their en-
gineer at work to prepare plans for the
improvement and have it of suitable
character.

There seems to be IMAM behind"
everything. Who is the man behind
the millionaire? The most powerful
men in this country owe much of their

men-generally young men-who are

ployer's interests. Men who put in
long hours behind the throne and who
will some day become nillionaires
themselves. Such men and, in fact,

MAY BE ENLARGED.
Talk Of Building an Addition to st.
JOsepf1's F10spitaI.


st. Joseph's hospital has proved SO
successful that there is talk of build
ing an addition to it soon, to accom-
modate the patients who are coming
to it from all directions 1t will re-
quire $40, 600 to $50, 900 to build the
additions, and assurances have been
received that the money can be mad in
the east at four per cent. As soon as
the hospital gets on a paying basis,
the additional loan will undoubtedly
be made and the size of the building
increased.
Some of the patients have never paid
the Sisters what they owe, and there
is more than 81, 200 outstanding. These
people ought to make it point to pay
their hospital bills, as they received
the service and the Sisters need the
money in their efforts to come out
even.
In the older cities of the east. dona-
tions are made to hospitals, which are
a great help. People who have been
treated at them sometimes leave them
money when they die. In one city,
the Sisters had only $500 to start
hospital, but today they have a $3.50, 900
hospital all paid for. Donations and
requests helped to do this. Thus far
st. Joseph's hospital has received no
help of this kind, but it undoubtedly
will in the future, and as time goes on
its usefulness will be increased through
additions to the building.

for warrant for the arrest of two
parties from this city who were caught
using seine on the Nicollet county
side of the Minnesota river last Sun
day. County Attorney Davis refused
to make out the papers, on the ground
that the case should be brought in
Blue Earth county. Mr.. Bennett has
since consulted County Attorney Wilson
of this county, who does not object to
issuing a warrant, but feels that the
case is one that should be brought in
Nicollet county as long as the alleged
offense was committed there.
Mr.. Bennett will lay the matter be-
fore Executive Agent Fullerton and
follow his advice.
