Death of Ethel Truesdell.

Again the Death Angel has entered
the Normal School and borne away
one of it's brightest and most beloved
mem bers. The broken voices, tear
full eyes and sorrowing hearts Of fac
ulty and students show how wide was
the affection Of the school for Ethel
Truesdell, who died Jan. Is, 1902.
Winsome she was in manner, talent
ed in mind and sunny in disposition.
She was favorite with her teachers,
her schoolmates and her friends every
where.
Her talent in music and recitation
caused many demands to be made
upon her, often beyond her strength
and yet she cheerfully rendered her
help whenever asked for.
The sorrow felt by the school at the
thought that we shall see no more
her sparkling face and springing form
in the exercises Of the school, and
hear no more her voice in song, is deep
and sincere. The heart of the school
beats with love and sympathy for the
home bereft Of so much joy and light.
All that human sympathy and the
illustrations Of friends can do is
being done for the grief stricken
relatives.
Funeral services were held at the
house this, Thursday, afternoon after
which the precious form was taken to
Owatonna, Mimi, to be laid to rest
beside her fathers.

Our Electric Light Service.

Our electric light service has now
been in operation for just about a
year. The plant was built in 1900.
The inauguration of an electric light
plant involved the construction of
dam to confne the water Of the Kin
nickinnic for sufficient fall to Gre
ate che necessary power to run the
dynamos required, the building of
power house, the erection Of poles and
the stringing of wires. This was
done and the arc lights placed in po-
sition late in the fall. At the begin
ming Of the year 1901 the street lights,
20 in mum her, had been tested and
the plant was accepted by the coun-
Gil. The system has been under the
control and operation Of the city for
the past year, has worked without in
terruption, and the service has been
very satisfactory.
In establishing an electric light
plant, the primary object contempla-
ted was to give satisfactory street
lighting, while the question Of COM
mercial lighting would be developed
and considered in agreement with
the popular requirement.
As soon as the system of street
lighting was established and in good
working order desire was expressed
by some for the introduction OF an
incandescent light service with an or
der for lights. Most of the business
houses in the city were using the gas
lights, service which has proved very
satisfactory where introduced.
The demand for incandescent lights
has had steady growth during the
year, the city electrician and his as
sistants having been kept pretty busy
in introducing the lights into bust
ness buildings and residences until at
the beginning Of this year there were
in use 1916 incandescent lights, equal
to 1883 lights of 16-candle power.
The service has been introduced into
fifty residences, the Normal school,
two churches. Two newspaper offices,
two doctors Offices, one lodge room,
one hotel, one flour mill, one dentists
Office, the opera house, the depot and
twenty-six business places.

Health Making Storms.

What the tide does in the ocean Of
water storms do iE the ocean of air
deleterious and poisonous germs are
removed or killed. The noticeable
smell of ozone after n thunderstorm
and the increased bodily comfort are
well known. Storms, in the main, are
due to the action Of our atmosphere in
resisting the escape of the radiant
heat. Even at the equator great cold
exists at the trifing height of four
miles above sea level, which is reduced
to three during the night. One week
of continued night in the tropics would
lock them in the grip of eternal frost
and put an end to all life. Now and
again the upper fluid Is punctured. so
to speak, and through the breach so
caused a downward rush with rotary
movement Is made till equilibrium is
again restored. Storms, therefore, are
essentially benefcent, both to health
and life. They reshape for use the
necessary life giving air and warmth
as earthquakes do the crust of the
earth.

Butchers Who Swap Meats.

A housekeeper who went to live on
the far east side of New York asked
a butcher why she couldn't get from
him the best cuts of meat. His shop
was in Second avenue,s above Thirty
fourth street. The housekeeper, al
though she was economical, occasion
ally wanted fine steak or choice
piece of other meat for a special occa-
sion. She learned that while the
butcher bought whole OK he did not
keep the best parts Of it.
Every day." he said, 81 send the
best meats | buy to the shops farther
west. The butchers over there buy 1t
from me, and l get from them the
cheaper cuts, for which they have no
use. We have regular system of ex-
change. York Times.

ESKIMO COURTSHIP.
How the Native Selects a Bride-The
Marriage Ceremony.

The Eskimo gentleman never selects
a wife in his own village. AS soon as
he is able to make living for family
he goes into neighboring village and
falls In fit Of love before some likely
girl. She is then penned up for some
time in house-a sort Of dugout or
burrow in the ground-and when the
bride day comes he goes there and
crawls in. 1t is in the play that the
bride to be shall so strenuously object
that she fights him off. He then goes
out and gets his dogs and sled, and
when they are harnessed up he goes
In again, Overcomes her, ties her hands
and feet, places her on the sled and
hauls her TO his own village. That
completes the ceremony of marriage.
The whole village gives them we'd
ding feast. Next day, or later on, If
they don't forget it, they go before a
minister of the gospel and are married
In due form. This feature of the union,
however, Is not important and does
not bother them very much.
The dressing of the brides hair is
a revelation. 1t is done up in a series
Of knots about foot high on top of
her head and pulled so tightly from the
scalp that very often big patches of 1t
are fairly pulled out by the roots, leav-
ing bald and barren places around the
ears and the temples.

Shout Breaks n Glass.

Every one knows that windows will
rattle when loud noise is made in a
room, but very few persons know that
a glass can be broken by shouting into
it.
Any ordinary glass which has a clear
tone will do for this trick, and the ex-
act nature of its tone can readily be
ascertained by passing moistened
finger around its rim. This point be-
Ing settled, the performer should hold
the glass in front Of his mouth and
shout into it In tone about an octave
higher than that of the glass. The re-
suit will be that the glass will break
Immediately, and for the reason that
it will not have strength enough to re-
sist the force exerted against it by the
waves of air.
The thinner the glass is the more
easily it will be broken.

An Intelligent Dog.

A gentleman once had a very hand
some and intelligent collie in his pos
session. One day he lost the dog when
taking it through the city. The crea-
ture in vain searched everywhere for
his master and at last, seeing a hanson
cab creeping leisurely along, jumped
into it and settled himself determined
ly on the seat. The driver tried to en-
tice it out, but without success, and a
little crowd collected. None dared to
tackle the dog, but at last a facetious
spectator shouted out, Il say, Bill
darn me If he don't want to be druv
home" That's it; that's what he
wants." they all agreed amid shouts of
laughter. Then one examined his col
lar and found an address clearly en-
graved upon it. Without further ado
cabby jumped up and drove up to this
same address, which proved to be the
correct one Needless to say, the cab
man was substantially rewarded. The
dog had been in the habit of driving
home every evening with his master in
a hanson and, with doggie reasoning,
had decided to follow his usual custom
when he had given up hope Of finding
his master.-LondOn Opinion.

The lava streams from the eruption
of Vesuvius in 1853 were so hot twelve
years later that steam issued from
their cracks and crevices. Those that
flowed from Etna in 1877 were found
to be steaming hot just below the crust
as late as 1910. The volcano Jorullo
in Mexico, poured forth in 1850 lava
that eighty-seven years later gave off
columns of steaming vapor. In 1880 il
