NEED NOT FEAR NIGHT AIR.
This Authority Says 1t Is No More In
furious to Mankind Than the
Atmosphere of Day.

In passing along a row of city tene-
ments in the dawn of a midsummer
day about 80 of 100 windows can be
seen tightly closed, says the Chau-
tauquan. Sleepers whose lungs crave
life air as a desert traveller thirsts
after a draft of cold water have ex-
cluded the refreshing night wind in
obedience to the behest of a sanitary
superstition, Beware of draughts, get
a dollars worth of weather strips;
be sure to close your windows after
dark"-in other words, exclude the
air which the children of nature have
for myriads of ages breathed with
perfect impunity and poison your
lungs with the azotized. sickening at
mosphere of an unventilated bedroom.
We might as well advise a health
seeker to avoid rock springs and fill
his water bucket at the effluent pipe
of a fostering city sewer. We might
with the same logic admonish our
children to beware of fresh veg
etables and mountain strawberries
and still their hunger with the gar
bage of a dump pile.
Millions of travellers pass the night
in boats and open sheds without the
least injurious consequences; an
imals that perish with consumption
in the atmosphere of a well-warmed
menagerie survive the tremendous
night storms of the tropical forests.
Is night air a lung poison? Is the
outdoor atmosphere made deadly by
the absence of sunlight! Does the
gas lamp of a sitting dormitory rem
edy that grievance? Must we ex-
clude the COO night wind bringing re-
lief to countless sufferers from the
misery of a s~weltering summe day?
1t is no exaggeration to say that
individuals who have freed themselves
from the nightmare of that super
stition can live out-and-out healthier
in the central wards Of a large manu-
featuring town than it's victims on
the ARREST highlands of the southern
Alleghanies.

HAS A QUEER OCCUPATION.
A New York Man Who Makes Money
by Choosing Hobbies for
Others.

/. Talking about odd occupations"
said a New York man to a Washing
ton Star reporter, "there is a man in
my town with an Office near Union
square who has built up a large and
lucrative business connection by pro-
fessionally advising all sorts and con-
ditions of people as to what hobby
to adopt. This man is well informed
and an excellent judge of human ma
ture, and his advice is always based
as far as possible on a pretty accu-
rate knowledge of his customers
temperament and occupation. And a
queer fact is that several prominent
city physicians have discovered his
worth and are sending their BRAIN
tagged patients to him for hobby
treatment, just as they advise them
to go to a certain dentist for tooth
ache.
"As almost everyone knows, there
is at present a marked fashion for
hobbies of all sorts, and to the per-
son who is too busy or too lazy to
start out for himself this hobby mer-
chant has become a perfect boon.
Suppose, for instance, you wish to
make a collection of old books or
china, or rare coins, stamps or Gu
rios. You simply call at his office one
day and leave your order with the
strictest confidence, and within a few
days or weeks you are supplied with
whatever articles you may have chosen
to collect. To the value of the col
lection the hobby merchant adds from
10 to 25 per cent. for his services, ac-
cording to the time and difficulty he
has had in procuring any desired arti-
Gle or articlea"

The English walnut is said to be
the most profitable of all nut-bear-
ing trees. When in full bearing they
will yield about 300 pounds of nuts
to the tree. The nuts sell on an

about $675 per acre.
The Great Salt lake is said to be in

The most extraordinary forest in
the world was discovered by DR.. We'll
witsch, and occupies a table-land
some six miles in width, near the
west coast of Africa. The popularity
of the trees is that though their
trunks are as much as four feet in
diameter, they attain the height of
only a foot. No tree bears more
than two leaves, and these attain a
length of six feet and a breadth of
two feet.

KILL THE DANDRUFF GERM.
Or Your Hair VIII Fall Out TIL You

Modern science has discovered that
dandruff is caused by a germ that digs up
the scalp in scales, as it burrows down to
the roots Of the hair, where it destroys the
ultimately, badness. After Prot. Unna, Of
Hamburg, Germany, discovered the dand-
ruff germ, all efforts to find a remedy failed
until the great laboratory discovery was
made which resulted in Newbro's Herpicide.

Heroic Rescue of a Child.

Clad only in a neightdress, with the
mercury below zero, Miss Mae Oryil,
teacher of the school at ltasca Lake,
rushed into the burning house and at

appeared in the street with the child
clasped in her arms, her long hair,
which has been badly scorched by the
by the flames, was the only covering
the girl had.
How she battled her way to the
child she does not remember but she
kept on in spite of the fact that her
nightdress was burned off almost in

her. When she r~eappeared with the
child clasped to her breast and fell
fainting in the street, willing hands
cared for her.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
An Escape Frustrated.

"A cleverly concocted scheme for a
Jail delivery at the state prison was
frustrated by Warden Wolfer. and one
of the guards P. f. Cunningham at
the prison languishes in Washington
county Jail.
The prisoner who was to be aided in
an attempt to escape is Edward Lee
land, sent from Minneapolis in Octo-
Der, 1899, to serve 10 years for robbery.
The guard received $435 for his share
in the work and became associated in
the scheme with another guard, who
has since left prison. Leland's sweet
hearts plan was formed in December.
The money was paid in January and
the scheme would probably have
carried, but for a mistake in manufac-
turing a key which would not fit the
cell door, where Leland was to
pass out early in the morning, when
he left his cell to go to work in the
dining room.
There was a woman in the case,
Miss Ada Hubbell of st. Paul, who is
under arrest.
John f. Roberts, an ex-guard at the
prison was arrested in Minneapolis.
The plot was revealed by D. f. OAR
the abstract clerk who was SEN to the
penitentary from Minneapolis.

In Michigan Towns Many Grand Rapids
I, Homes Are Vacated.
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
Grand Rapids, Mich, March 27.--The
Grand river is stationary tonight and
further rise is not looked for. The
river is 1876 inches above normal,
and had a rise of IA inches in the past
"a hours. The manufacturing plants
along the river front are closed, the
Easements being flooded and in some
cases the first floor.
Many residents had to vacate their
homes on the west side of the river by
reason of the high water. The part of
the island on which the city lighting
plant is located is under water and a
foot further rise of the river would
force the lighting plant to close down.
The river above and below the city
in many places is nearly two miles
wide, flooding a large area of farm
lands. At Niles tonight the st. JOS
eph river is on a rampage and the dam
is likely to go out before morning.
Lowell is flooded and in darkness to-
night, the lighting plant there being
shut down by reason of the dam being
torn away. At lonia, portions of the
city are still inundated.

WEST VIRGINIA NOTEs.

Reliable information has been re-
ceived from the new strike near Mil
ton, Cabell county. The status of the
well as producer is in doubt, as is the
formation in which the oil was encoun-
tered. The owners are working the
mystery racket and decline to give out
any information for the enlightenment
of the public. A field man represent
ing a local company, visited the we'll
and reported that it had not produced
barrel of oil. He ascertained, how
ever, that the hole stands full of fluid,
but was unable to state how much of it
was oil and how much water. There is
little or no excitement except among
the farmers all of whom are anxious to
lease on easy terms.
The amount of energy that has been
put forth to develop and extend the
Sand Fork pool in Lewis county, should
have met with more generous reward

Morgan expressed his interest in their
errand and his willingness to make
personal effort to prevent strike,
though he declined to hold a public
conference with the labor leaders and
indicated as the reason for not being
willing to hold a conference with the
labor leaders was his belief that
should public meeting between him
self and labor leaders be held, the pub
licity thereof and the possibility of at
tendant collusions might hamper the
achiev ements of the best ends which
all were seeking. In other words, as
