BLIND POSTMASTER BAXTER.

Milking Time.

The little village of Lexington, on
claims it has the only blind postmas-
ter in Minnesota, and probably the
only one III the United States, says
the Minneapolis Tribune.
For more than 30 years Hiram Bax-
ter has served the people of the vii
lage and surrounding country to their
entire satisfaction, and nearly all OF
this time he has been blind He also
has a small general store and an inn,
where he keeps the traveller who
needs meal or nights lodging. He
has wonderful memory and can al
ways tell If there is a paper or let
ter for anyone who calls. His wife or
his son calls the names when the mail
is distributed and n letter may lie
in the office for two weeks, but when
the proper person calls he remem-
bers 1t. He can put his hand on any
one of the 100 boxes and give the
name of the owner.
In the store he has a more accu-
rate knowledge of where everything

makes no difference what you ask for,
he can put his hand on it if it is in
stock, and he will measure ten yards
of calico or a gallon of oil with equal
facility, and will not make mistake
in weighing nickers worth Of candy
or a dollars worth of sugar. His
hearing has been cultivated until he
knews every one of his regular GUS
toners by their voice. and when one
of them calls out: ANY mail for me =
he answers yes or no with as much as
surance as if he saw them. In money
matters he favors coin and can count
1T almost as rapidly as person with
good sight.
He keeps several cows and cares for
them himself. Each COW wears bell,
and by this means he finds and drives
them up from a large woodland pas
ture. They seem to realize that he IS
different from other people, and no
matter how much he runs against or
stumbles over them they never move.
He is a wonderful example of what a
| man can do in business way who has
lost his sight.

THE WRONG BOTTLR.
WHY One Chicago Young WoaaAA's
Hands Are BIistered to q
Lobster Hue.

Grace is afflicted with a sensitive
skin, and when cold weather arrives
uses up more bottles of soothing To-
tion for her poor, chapped hands
than would stock small shop. The
last thing before she goes to sleep
she coddles her white digts with a
liberal dose of the liquid that best
suits them. She did this the other
night and, says the Chicago Daily
News, as she rubbed it in" observed
that it took long time to dry. Final
ly she gave it up. She had a most
uncomfortable night. Whenever she
moved, the sheets stuck TO her hands
the fashion of cat standing on four
pieces of sticky fly paper. Once her
hair got tangled round her left hand,
and it nearly came out by the roots
before she loosened it, This thor
oughly awoke her, and she got up
most remarkable-looking pair of
hands in Cook county. 1nis was not
altogether surprising, when she found
She had used the bottle of furniture
polish for lotion. And. not content
to let bad state of affairs alone, she
put on kerosene to take off tile pol
ish. The kerosene has blistered both
hands to lobster hue, and she has
three card parties on hand, and is GO
ing to act as bridesmaid within
week

In spite of what may have been
written to the contrary, France has,
ever since the disaster of 1870, quiet
ly and steadily regenerated herself,
and succeeded in organizing an army
which the greatest German military
authorities declare to be the most
formidable and the best armed in Ens
rope; and i will add this, IN Justice
to France, that she has not gathered
together and trained that army OF
1 SOC, 600 men to attack anyone, but
to protect herself. says Max ORell
in the London Mail.
The Germans know all this, and
strain every nerve to remain at peace
with US, seeking our friendship more
and more every day. That army in
the hands OF Napoleon III. might
he danger to Europe, but not in the
hands of a nation now mistress of her
destnies. who would use it only if
compelled to do so for the defense
of her honor or her territory. De
generation, forsooth. Let me assure
you that there is no degenration, ex-
cept in the imagination of a few
writer's in search of the sensational.

A woe4eri..l offer to Women.

We have received word OF most remark
able offer which is to be made to women by
The Deiinedtor, Of New York.
Taking tho fact that next year begins
new century, Tie Delineator offers to distrl-
butte SIT, 800 among 1901 women. The plan
is 80 cieverly arranged that woman living in
a small town or village, has just as good
chance to win one of these 1901 prizes as a
woman living in city--because the prizes
are given for the number of subscriptions
secured in town in proportion to the popu-
lation of tina. town, instead of being given
simply to those who send the largest list of
subscribers-which, of course are most easily
obtained in big Cities Another clever feature
of the plan is, that all the cities and towns of
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged ia seven classes. Tho cities of tho
greatest population arc grouped in Glass /,
and as these cities arc not very many, the
prizes offered are twenty-eight; the high
est prize being $500 and the lowest $500.
The total amount OF prizes given away in this
class is 5 1000 Tho remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into six other classes, and as
tie number of towns in class increases, be-
cause, of course, there are more small towns
than large ones, the amount OF prizes given
away to.a class increases, so that in Class 7,
there will be $4,000 distributed among col
winners.
Furthermore, to everyone who fails to win
one of the 1901 prizes there will DO paid an
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every two hundred in
habitants OF the town from which the con-
testant sends them.
This is altogether a very liberal offer, and
one which the famous old Delinedtor is we'll
able to make good From our point of view,
we do not see why such an offer needs to be
made by the Publishers of The Delineator. for
we believe it already has nearly half a million
subscribers Its strong hold upon tho affec-
tons of American women has come in the
past generation, from its practical advice
about dress details and home matters.

THE DECAY OF coQUETRY.
II zs Proven by the Lans.id interest
Women Take An Fame
Nowadays.

There is q danger, indeed, q very real
danger, that fans large or small, of
net, lace or feathers. will presently
pass into the limbo of things useless
and unreverenced, says the Washing
ton Star. This undoubtedly is an evil
dence of the decay of coquetry, none
he less do women appear to have put
their fans by and seem neither to know
nor to care what the fashion in these
pretty trifles may be.
There is a languid interest taken in
fans of medium size, of gauze and
painted with scenes from the Aerthu-
rian legends. Some of these are ex-
ceedingly beautiful. for by a judicious
use of gold thread and spangles the
splendors of Guineyeres wedding
gown. the glitter of the tourney and
the bravery of Tristan's Launcelot's
fine armor is rendered very realistic.
There are a few fans imported from
Paris that create admiring attention.
These are not very large nor very small
and their sticks are of dark brown
she'll. Upon the sticks lace spider
webs are drawn. In the center of the
eyeb sits a wondrous gold spider,
watching, with cruel, bright ruby or
emerald eyes. the charming antics of
n plump cupid, half gold. half lace,
who has fallen into his spidership's
Airy trap.
Cheap paper fans, stretched on sticks
of gilded wood, show clever dashing
colorful sketches from Henry ", from
L'Aiglcn and other popular plays OF
The season, and. when fan is carried
at ALL it must not be suspended from
the waist, shoulder or throat by
rope of pearls or a ribbon. Such was
the pretty fashion two seasons ago.
Now it is the mode for diner or dancer
10 hold her fan in her hand, and man
ipulate it with a view to artfully dis
playing its intrinsic value and artistic
charms.

SENSIBLE WOMEN UNPOPULAR
They Earn the Animosity of Member
of Their Own Sex because They
Are Not FnshionsbIe.

OF late it has come to be regarded
as misfortune for woman to be
sensible. says the Chicago Chronicle.
She is not in the fashion. and there
Tore might as well be out of the
world. One of these sensible women
had cook whom she cherished above
rubies-cherished to such an extent,
indeed, that sometimes she was moved
to hustle out to the kitchen and de-
clare that Kate looked pale and was
IN need of instant rest. Whereupon
Katie was bundled off upstairs and
nilady herself would finish washing
the dishes or making the cake.
After four years of such humane
treatment Mrs. Cook walked off with
out word of warning one day and
her employer, descending from her
stills and becoming just an ordinary
person, wept and declared the UNI
grateful one "a mean old thing"
The sensible woman is fearfully
hayd on romances. She picks the
prettiest love story in the world so
TO pieces that it looks like even less
than 30 cents when she gets through
with it.
Each bit of sentiment she dissects
with the aid of her merciless prac-
teal sense and points out how it is
founded on selfshness and will grad
aally grow into indifference. There
is Il fearful reason III all she says that
makes deep impression on her
bearer and perhaps leads that young
woman to desperate and foolish deeds
or remuneration.
Once the sensible woman entered a
house Of sorrow. A young girl lay

PLAGUE IN RUSSIA
Gives Rise to Some Curious Prerarssieos
Against Its Spread.

Gives Rise to Some Curious PreFarassooe
Against It's Spread.
1 saw the other day curious device
attached to the mooring rope or cable
of a steamer which was loading at this
port, writes Consul Heenan from
Odessa, Russia. The cable was run
through piece of iron pipe about
foot in length, and welded on the END
was a fange or funnel, which looked
like the end OF trumpet, with the,
wide end facing the vessel. The iron
pipe was stuffed with oakum to pre-
vent it from slipping, and also to pre-
vent rats from passing through IT.
This noSel construction was quite
close to the ship. On inquiring what
purpose this device served, was IN
formed that the Russian authorities
furnished these appliances and obliged
all ships to use them whenever they
came from a port infected with the
plague, in order to prevent the rats
|. on the ship from coming ashore. 1t
is generally conceded that the plague
has been carried and spread by rats
which have left ships coming from In

devices are attached to each cable By
which the ship is moored. In addition
to this precaution, the master OF the
ship is obliged to take down his load

again the following morning, In order
to prevent the rats from coming ON
shore during the night. l do not know
whether this device is known to our
sanitary authorities. and I send this
description of it in the hope that Il
may be of service.

We recently met Judge -, who

to public men of this state he remark
ed that the lawyers of the state, if the
matter could be left to them, would
select Judge Doster to succeed himself
on the bench. as he was easily the
ablest and most scholarly man of the
supreme court. He also made the
stAtemsnt that the record made by
Senator Harris was very gratifying
to the people of the state regardless of
politics. Considering the fact that
both of these gentlemen we're elected
by the populists it strikes us as
being a remarkable statement.

Naval Secretary Long, has dissolved
the court of inquiry ih the Schley
case and approved the findings of the
majority. This settles the matter as
far as the navy department is con-

secretary of the navy to call for the
resignati of the Maclay. the histor-

manding general in the army, ant
publicly reproved him for expre+$inc =
