An unpublished and most characi r.

appeared in the LONDON Times. He
had been asked to subscribe toward the
raising, al st. ives, OF a statue to the
Protector, and his adherence was quail
fed with no little ferocity for the peo-
pie who presumed to celebrate at the
same time Cromwell and King Hud-

The project for the Cromwell monu-

which Carlyle deprecated. The BIZ
ographer of Cromwell writes: My
private suspicion, | confess, is that the
present generation OF EnBlishmen-
who have filled their towns with such
a set OF public statues as were never
before erected by any people, ugly
brazen images Ito mere commonplace
adventurers with titles on them, and
even sometimes to mere paltry oun
drels. worthy Of immediate oblivion
only. and who have winded up their
enterprises in the statue or memorial
line by subscribing G25, 900 to a memo
rial for King H~udson-are not likely to
do themselves or anybody much good
by setting up statues to Oliver Crom-
well. i fear they have forfeited the
right to pretend to remember Crom-
well In a public manner. Cromwell's
divine memory, sad, stern and earnest
as the gods, says virtually to them,
Forget me and pass on, we unhappy

Hudson and strive to emulate him!'
Nevertheless, | have privately resolved.
II such a thing does go on, to subscribe
my little mite to it on occasion, and

"A thing that strikes m es',e!n

back from n western trip, lis the
prevalence of the windmill in tho west.
This Is supposed to be the age OF
steam and electricity. OF now ideas In
every line of human activity, but YOU
would be inclined to change your mind
IL you ever saw the forests OF primitive
windmills that dot the western plains.
They first come into view when the
traveller crosses the Mississippi into
Iowa. and by the time he gets to Nc
braska and Kansas they seem TO he
staring In the car windows at every
revolution o. the wheels. And they
are the most useful adjunct the west
ern farmer possesses. Usually a man
associates the windmill with Holland.
but the western variety is a different
brand and used for exactly the oppo-
site purpose hat Hollanders employ
them for. In that country the mill Is
used to get rid OF the water; in The
west ii is employed to produce It. The
onterprising manufacturers make them
in all styles. some tall and graceful,
others low with a half circle OF fans
at the top. The big ones are useful
in grinding corn, but most of them
are engaged in pumping up water for
Irrigation and to slake the thirst OF
the cattle, horses and hogs. For the
latter a system OF pipes conveys the
water TO various parts of the ranch.
The wells reach way down into the
earth, where an exhaustless supply is
found, and while few furnish the
source of any extended irrigation sys-
tens. nearly all have connections with
the garden and yard. The small
streams which abound in the west gen
orally become stagnant during the
summer. but with the standpoint and
the wind pump the great reservoir OF
nature is tapped and great streams OF
water are furnished. Many ranchmen
have built milk houses around the
wind pump and the fresh, cool water
is kept running through large tanks
made for milk cans. enabling them 60

coughs, such, for instance, as bron-

common TO old people, and hundreds
who complain of the distress caused
them by such affections are really in

OF life. The reason OF this is that
most elderly persons suffer with weak
hearts and feeble circulation of the
blood, and weak hearts become weaker
and weaker merely as a result OF thsir
weakness. A constant cough corrects
this. keeps the heart beating more
strongly than IL otherwise would. and
the strong heart beat keeps the blood

CARD-SHUFFLINa MACHINE.
II Has Excited Wonder of Several Pro

ftssiouNi
A ard shutting machine has
been invented by a Cleveland man.
II should make business poor for
crooked ~card-players. The device is
complicated, yet simple in its action.

to a number Of professional gamblers.
Some OF the keepers OF gambling rooms
told me they would do all they could
to prevent the machine being put in
use, because 1t takes away all the ad-
vantage which the dealers skill in
shufiing gives to the house. But when
the machine gets into the rooms
where square games are played the fair
players will go there. and the crooked
rooms will then be compelled TO adopt
its use also" The shutting machine
Is a metal box about twelve inches
high, three inches wide and six inches
from front to back. All the mechan-
ism is inside. The cards are dropped
in at the top and rest on a tiny shelf.
Below this there are five small fingers,
one ON each Of FIVE thin steel blades
extending across the full width OF the
machine. When a shutter on the front
.is dropped the shelf falls and the cards
drop upon the blades and are separated
into FIVE little irregular punches by
the fingers. The blades separate, and
one by one cards drop from the vari-
Gus punches into a receptacle at the
bottom. the drop being regulated by
d clockwork mechanism.

"and you woul ue sulpi.~sd at the

Der of tea drinkers. Up to a few years
ago In the more remote sections OF
the country tea was used almost ex-
clusiveiy in the sick room. Tea had to
be bought in the country from the
druggist. The man who dealt in gen
eral merchandise rarely though of
selling tea, unless he had a medicine
counter i'm his store. Tea was some
thing fnicky, something to be given
to the convalescing patient along with
crackers. tasteless broth and things of
that sort. This is not the case now.
Tea is brought in rather large quanti-
ties by country merchants, and tho
country fold use 1t for other than sick
room purposes. 1t is extensively used
throughout the country. There is n
still more interesting fact in nne
ton with the growth of the tea trade.

You would be surprised at the amount
OF tea consumed by this element of the
population. Using tea is a new thing
with the negro element, but since they

they have vastly increased tue on

have about quit using sassafras roots
for tea-making purposes, and this rath-
er primitive drink is now used for its
medicinal properties. 1t has exchanged
places with tho other tea. There are
some reasons for the increased cou-
sumption OF tea. There are, OF course,
many other special and general causes
for tie new demand and altogether the

HEAT OF EARTH's INTERIOR.

New methods Of utilizing natures

Something About seats.

About the beginning OF the last cen.
fury people began to hunt seal. They
found 1t a very profitable o~ccupatiohr
and large numbers were captured; IL
has been SO profitable that on many OF
the islands where seal were hunted
they have been exterminated, and now
they are mostly seen in museums.
There are several species OF seal and
some will get extremely tame, fond OF
their owner, love TO be caressed and
will learn tricks very much after the
n of a puppy. The seals body
is covered with a double fur, which,
when 1t is immersed In water, is
pressed very closely to the body, and
excludes water. This fur is very valu-
able, and as you see a lady wrapped
in a cloak or coat of fur from a seals
body you know II has cost her several
hundreds OF dollars to get the warm
covering. But 1t Is an animal good
for even more than its beautiful Jack
ct. as the Esquimaux and the Alaskan
Indians live very largely upon its flesh
and fat. Seals arc said to be fond OF
music, and will follow a boat In which
e flute or violin is played. They often
come out on the land and lie about on
the rocks and play and tumble aheaf
like happy children.

MARCH OF PROGRESS DOES AWAY
WITH OLD TINE FORT
FAMOUS BUILDING AT PRAIRIE DU CHEN. WIS. TO
BE TORN DOWN

the SPOT where at one time many OF the
most famous soldiers OF the American
army fought.
To the lover of the historic and ro-
mantle there is something cruel about
the destruction of the remains OF old
Fort Crawford. To the residents of
Prairie du CHEN, who for years have
seen and thought little of the past OF
the dilapidated old walls, II Is a hard.
cold business proposition. They SEQ no
reason why sentiment should retard
the iogress OF their city. They can
see nothing TO be gained in the pres
ence of the staring sentinels of stone
But IA few rods north from the site
OF the fort, hidden from the casual
weeds, and made more obscure by the
presence OF broken down fences, Is
the old federal cemetery. There Is no
hand to strew flowers upon the raves
OF the heroes whose remains lie there.
II Is a place OF mysterious surroundings
and is avoided and Stunned. Though
upon the age-worn granite tablets the
epigraphs of many whose m are
inserted in living letters upon the
pages OF history are carved in crude
broken letters. there is none to notice
them nor to give them a passing
thought.
The massive old fort proper has long
since been torn down and upon its site
now stands 'he beautiful st. Mary's
academy. Where the report of the sen
try's gun once startled the wilderness
now is heard the peaceful tones Of the
convent bell.

Old Fort Crawford. at Prairie du
CHEN. Wis, famous in tie history of
the settlement of the northwest, is be-
ing torn down and before many
days the last remnant of the old fort
will be destroyed. Already workmen
are tearing away the massive old walls
which long ago sheltered all who
sought refuge behind them. For a CEN
fury and a half they have withstood
the rayages of time and the attacks of
the painted Indian warrior. Fort
Crawford is a relic of long ago;
around its barren ruins is grouped
more history than at any other place
in Wisconsin; IL Is. indeed, a thing OF
history, romantic, bloody and price
less.
Even before the pickax of the first
workmsl clicked against the crumb-
ling masonry, there was but little left
OF the famous old fort. Barren and
alone, like towering sentinels guard
ing Its sacred secrets, two walls of the
fort hospital remain. The remainder
OF the once imposing series OF mas
slve buildings have been entirely de-
stroyed; they lie in a weed-grown heap
OF rocky ruins. like a fallen and neg
lected monument OF fame. The stone
walls were fast falling to decay. but
the deep narrow windows and the bat
~tle-scarred buttresses still remain.
