NEW YORK, March q. 1901
II appears that the knell of the fat per-
son has been sounded here in New York.
Nobody can say who has sounded it. But
that 1t has been sounded seems to be an
incontrovertible fact. Everywhere the
sign is on it. The reduction-of- obesity fac
tories are working day and night. The
physical culturists who make a speciality

be. There surely appears to be a clarion

male being must go. and that the roly-

To Measure the Wind.

An ingenious instrument has been invent
ed by Mr.. r. NJ. Lowne Of Catford whereby
the velocity and direction of the wind NAV
be accurately registered by means of cleo
tricity. Thesinstrument is an adaptation
of yane and thermometer combined. and
the record is automatically made ON a pa
per ribbon. the Indicating instrument being
connected by, electric wires with the vane
and thermometer. The direction of the
wind is continuously shown by a well de-
fined single pencil fine and the changes TO
eight points Lon the compass and their
duration areg also recorded in the same
way. n "a
miles and miles OF velocity, and the maxi-
mum velocity when it occurs can
also be seensat a>i glance. Mr.. Lowna
claims that the apparatus, which he has
kept working for over a year. is most
successful infevery way and witfstands ali
changes Of weather. Everything IL ner
fectly automatic in2action and the battery
power required Is very small. The records
shown by means OF Mr.. Lowne's fnstru-
ments cannot, he states, be obtained by
means Of any other apparatus In existence.
Mr.. Lowne told newspaper representa-.
tive that 1t win be quite possible to get
by means OF his invention, accurate records
at central station Of the direction and
velocity Of the wind from any part Of
Great Britain by means of electric wires
connecting the recording Instrument with

London's Treasure Shops.

From the Newcastle. England Chronicle.
Do you know that most of the old silver
you buy in Holland is imported from Eng
land? If you have wandered about the
Netherlands be sure you have rubbed your
inquiring nose against the dim glass and
old curiosity shops and been tempted in
after an old silver wind mill, a ship in full
sail, an old snuff box, sugar sitter, a tiny
silver sofa, Growing cock, some dainty
tr1ue that you can carry away comfortably:
and while you have been gazing with de-
light at these tiny Dutch treasures you
have also observed more important treas
ureS, a silver beaker, an old Dutch salyer
In the end you have come away with yalu-
able and characteristic souvenirs of HoI-
land; and probably your feet are barely
clear Of the old storehOuse than the London
traveller follows you with a fresh supply or
to solicit orders for the same.
A wonder city, London, If 1t does not
make everything, as they say Birmingham
does, it makes many remarkable things
and deals In every conce 4vable article un-
der the sun. In nothing is it more notable
than for it's supply of ancient furniture and
old silver, some Of 1t made to perfection
with every mark Of age, but. of course a
vast quantity of 1t genuine. Half a dozen
Berlins, New Yorks and Parises together
could hardly match the treasure shops Of
gold and silver work that make many of
the London streets museums of art. A
Oxford street, down to Marble arch. and
back by Piccadilly, st. James. and Pail
Mall will set you wondering how a marked
can be found sufficient to warrant the vast
stocks OF old silver and gold plate on view
and packed away in those localities.

On the Stage.
Fat actors are all out of work Those of

THOSE ANGEL CHILDREN

When young Sellshoes called the other
evening, Miss Ohfudge, in fannelette
wrapper, was reading an intensely absorb
ing novel in her room upstairs. and SO she
sent her angel sister Pansy, aged six,
downstairs to inform Mr. Sellshoes that
she'd be down in few moments The angel
sister carried the information to Mr. Sell
shoes in the parior, and then lowered
around, waiting for an opportunity to de-
liver herself Of few bright little sayings
of childhood
"Mr. Sellshoes," she remarked after q
while. in a shy manner. twisting her hands
coyly, have you got many bureau draw
ers where you live. and do YOU hunt in
them much?'
"Weil-er-I dunno" replied Mr.. Sell

Young Sellshoes twisted some more in
MS seat, and half rose to go, but, thinking
better of it, again stared hard out of the
WINDOW, The angel child drummed On for
couple of minutes, and then she once
more wheeled about on the stool.
AND, Oh, Mr.. Sellshoes," she prattled, in
her sweet, innocent little voice, please, sir,

FOUND HER TRANSFER.
But Only After the Herdic Had Passed
Her Destination.

"CI DcStAuhtAOhs
She got in the herdic at the transfer sta
ton in front Of the Shoreham. She ap-
peared like a character just out Of the
pages of Dickens book. A low black hat
perched complacently on her head. She
wore black sacaue Of ancient origin, and
in her hand she carried a small black bag.
Immediately she was seated she began
to delve into the depths Of that mysterious
black bag. She rummaged and she search
ed. Meanwhile the herdic was speeding
along In its own sweet way. The woman
In black was growing flushed in the face.
She churned things up considerably In the
black bag. and had by this time attracted
the attention Of the entire list Of passen-
gers. She glanced timidly into the faces Of
her fellow passengers and wondered what
they thought of her for not depositing her
fare in the LITTLE box. She thought some
thing was due FROM her and in a low tone
muttered to HERSELF
Il know I put that transfer In this bag
for was afraid fAosing it. know did,
I remember ii perfecny.''
Then again9 began that search into the
black bag. Finally fhe little old lady could
stand dino It no isnge5 q She began to remove
side her. Yhe. oontenfs5 of that bag were
varied and wonderful. Out came a paper
Of pins, handkerchief; side comb, a
bunch Of samples, pot Of cold cream, q
bottle that looked suspieiousIy like hair
restorer and a long list Of pins and things
that could be got together nowhere except
In the hand satchel of woman. Not even
the pocket Of the small boy could compare
to that rare collection.
It Is hardly necessary to state that the
transfer had found its way to the very
bottom OF the pouch and was the last ar
ticle to be drawn out. The old lady's face
was wreathed in smiles as she deposited It
in the box. In moment more dismay
again overcame her. The search for the
transfer had carried her two blocks beyond
her destination. -

Reception to Rev. Northrup.
On Tuesday evening, the Methodist
church was crowded with the parish
toner's and friends of Rev. A.. Justin
Northrup who were gathered to give
formal expression of their joy at the
safe return of Rev. Northrup from
his European trip, The addresses
abounded in expression Of good will
to the pastor who had been absent
during the summer, and the speakers
not only expressed the feeling of
themselves and of those present, but
also of many Of the people Of Morris
who for one reason and another,
were not able to De present. Rev.
Northrup in responding spoke of his
joy at being again in Morris, and of
how often he had thought Of the
people here during his travels. The
program of speeches was interspersed
with music, and after the speeches,
social time with handshaking all
around was had.

Crop Report.

| There were light rsirs in the BED
Riyer valley on the 5th, and heavy
rains in the southern third of the
state on the 9TH and 9Th. The tenn
peratu1es were about 80 degrees in
most part OF the state on the Sd and
4th, and in southern portions on the
9Th, followed by decidedly lower tenn
peratures on the 7th and 9th, The
rains will be helpful to pastures,
gardens and plowlng. Thrashing
has gone on well in northern portions,
except for slight delay due to the
rains on the 9TH, and in southern
portions till the 9TH. Fifteen work
ing days will finish the .hrashing Of
ell grain that is not to be held longer
in stack. In Red Lake county, there.
are still some oats, barley and buck
wheat to cut, and the cutting of late
fax ID not finished in northern por.,
tons and in small areas elsewher ;,
Flax is very poor in the north, but it
is somewhat better in the south.
Much of the corn is ripe and out of
danger Of frost, and in southern por-
tions great deal is in shock. Corn
varies in quality f1om very poor to
fair, according to local conditions.
Small areas Of rye are being seeded
where good seed bed has been Sc
cured. The potato crop in northern
counties is said to be good. In south.
eastern counties very good crop of
clover seed is being secured. In some.
portions cattle ale being fed, the pas
lures being entirely dried up. Plow-
ing has been much delayed by the
hardness Of the soil, but where the
splendid rains have fallen since the
morning Of the 9TH, it will be in ex-
csllent condition for working, Wells
and creeks have been very low, and
in Olmsted county, Rock river has
been dry for twenty miles, for the
first time in the history Of the county.
