COMPLEMENTARY

The Minneapolis journal is the only
daily newspaper published in the twin
cities which has the courage to print
its convictions. 1t discusses public
questions freely and frankly and
stands for the special interests OF
no one. Some Of the other dailies, we
are sorry to say, color their news and
editorial columns for the sole purpose
of deceiving the people. A vigorous
and independent newspaper like T h e
10 n is of untold va1me to the
people Of the whole northwest.

The amendments to the constitution
proposed by Representative Dunn in lieu
of those Of the tax commission are very
poor subst flutes. They provide for the
taxation of all. property and at the same
time authorize the legislature to enact
an income. tax law. AS Mr.. Dunn's
amendments give the legislature no pow
er to relieve personal property of taxa
ton his propositions would tend to
double-taxation. That being the case it
is certain that no income tax law would
ever grow out of his amendments. ~

To the Editor Of The Journal:
Why can't Minneapolis have a new post
office building? The United States senate
passed bill, recently appropriating $500, 600
to New York city for a new postofice. In
.dianapolis has also received a large appro-
priation for a beautiful new building. Now,
neither Of these cities is any worse
off than our own city for a new building.
1t appears to me it is time Minneapolis was
waking UP in this matter. Perhaps we lack
Senator Fairbanks in Washington. The
time Is ripe. now, while. the country is pros
porous, and we should be doing something
and not let the eastern cities get all these
large appropriations. A Reader

pneumonia. She was in her seventeenth year.
Her mother and her brother. Robert Walton

which developed into pneumonia. Up to to-

she had q sudden turn for the worse in the
morning and died after noon. It was
said tonight that no arrangements had yet
been made for the funeral.
Miss Goelet had not been introduced for

famous portrait of her when she was little
girl, representing her in long, stiff silken
skirts, standing with fingers interlaced in
front of her, beside a tail birdcage. She and
her mother had spent much time abroad.

A maidservant belonging to one Of

with her lover without leave from her
mistress and was returning late along
my road, at the top Of which lived the
lamented Professor Nettleship. Now,
the latter had large yellow dog that
took the usual canine delight in seeing
cats scatter and flee, and. the better to
pounce on them when they were
stealthily crossing the street, he would
perch himself on the top of the pro-
fessor's garden wall, surrounded and
half hidden in the foliage. AS the tru-
ant maidservant passed beneath him
he caught sight Of cat in the middle
Of the road and, making spring at it.

down. She picked herself up and ran
screaming home, almost mad with ter

jumped on her back and thrown her

ColorIess yarnish.

Colorless varnish for use on fine la
bells or other prints, as well as for
white wood and other spotless articles,
is made as follows: Dissolve two and
one-half ounces of bleached shellac in
one pint of rectified alcohol; to this
add five ounces of animal boneblack,
which should first be heated, and then
boil the mixture for about five min
utes. Filter a small quantity Of this
through filtering paper and if not fully
colorless add more boneblack and boil
again. When this has been done, run
the mixture through silk and through
filtering paper. When cool, it is ready
for use. 1t should be applied with
care and uniformity.

Took 1t Literally.

A gentleman, wishing some bushes
removed from his garden, told his gar
dener to pull them up by the roots.
Some time after he went into the gar
den and found the gardener digging
trenches round the bushes.
"Why, George" he said, "you need
not dig round those small bushes in
that way. am sure you are strong
enough to pull them up by the roots"
ooh, yes, sir" replied the gardener.
II am strong enough, but must dig a
little before can catch hold Of the
roots. If you had told me to pull them
up by the branches, could have re-
moved them"

knows how to turn even misfortune
into advertising. A team of coach
horses dashed into an immense plate
glass window in front of big furni-
ture store in New York city and made
general smashup of everything in

ting up shop even temporarily, sat
down and with paint brush elaborat-
ed the following on a big white board
and installed it in the window where
the plate glass was: "a coach team

The Hermit Crab.

Gently crack the shell of the wssass,
for you will find it almost impossible Ii,
extract the occupant alive otherwise.
and you will see what you may be par
doned for supposing miniature lob
ster, but which in reality belongs to an
other distinct species-namely the her
NIT crab, Pagurus bernhardus. Wheth-
er he has obtained occupancy ry force
of arms OF merely through dscease of
the original tenant is moot point, but
the first supposition is highly probable,
as he is most belligerent little GUS
toner.
An amusing scene may be. witnessed
by placing several hermit crabs depriv.
ed Of their shells in an ordinary soup
plate, with little sea water and some
empty shells-fewer shells than crabs.
The fighting and struggling to secure
houses is ludicrous in the extreme. One
may be seen almost successful in moor
ing himself within a shell, which, by
the way, is effected by means of the
shelly plates at the extremity of his
soft and twisted tail, when another
seizes him by the nape of the neck, as
it were, and he is dragged reluctantly
forth. The eyicter still holds hixn strug-
Cling at claws length, and not until he
himself is safely ensconced does he re-
linquish his grasp. Chambers Journal.

How the Native. Treat Goril1as

now the NaISes treat NOr1Aas.
Natives in the countries inhabited by
great apes regard them always as hui
man beings of inferior types, and it is
for this reason that for long time it
was found impossible to get hold of an
entire gorilla skin because the savages
considered it religiously necessary to
cut off the hands and feet Of the ami
mails when they killed them, just as
they do with their enemies, possibly
for the purpose of rendering them
harmless in case they should by any
chance come to life again.
