close enough to prevent animals put
ting their feet through the cracks.
On left side, SIa feet from bottom,
should be used board a foot wide
and foot longer than the cage. In
this bore two-inch holes four inches
from sides of board. Through these
put piece of rope and tic OH outside.
This loop is put over the animals
nose and drawn tight by the use of
hand spike. An upright lever is
used to catch the back of the head
and draw it to the left side of the
cage. This upright should be II
strong 2 by 4 inch, long, boltcd to
bottom crosspiece that holds the
place. This lever is thrown to the
right when open for the animal to
enter. AS soon as the head passes it
is pushed to the left side and
fastened as tight as required by n
small iron pin slipped through the
crosspiecc at top back of it.
AS soon as the head is fastened a
handspike is slipped through the
cage back of the animal and another
over the neck to hold the head down.
These remain in place usually with
out holding, the operator standing in
front while taking off the horns. The
smallest animal having horns up to
a bull weighing 1880 pounds has been
dchorned in this sized cage. Animals
weighing up to 1900 pounds pass
right through the cage when the
holding lever is thrown back against
the right side. Cows heavy with calf
and larger animals back out of the
care.

upon the keeper. Journoux held a
short tanners fork, which alone ac-
counts for the fight lasting so long.
1t being dinner time all the other
keepers had withdrawn to a distant
shanty. Only three children wit
messed the terrible fight and they
were so terrified they failed to fetch
helm until Journoux had succeeded in
escaping from the cage.
The gorilla followed before the
door could be shut and the duel wa5
continued outside from one end of
the building to the other, as is shown
by the blood stains. Finally the chill
dren ran away yelling.
BY the time help arrived the goril-
la had been killed. The keeper was
found with one eye torn out, rapidly
losing blood from many other
wounds and laboriously trying to
crawl away on all tours. One hand
had been completely clcwed off and
the lower lip and part of the chin
had also been bitten off.

THE STUDY or FIGURES.

It is fairly obvious that the study of

demand for statistical literature. Sir
John Lubbock, if I remember rightly,
found no place for single volume of
figures in his hundred best books, and

That Have Helped Me-" by authors
great and authors small, the same sig

it to the nethermost limbo of aridity.
Such is the verdict upon the finished

AN ARTIFICIAL PEARL.
Produced by Placing q Bail OF Wa1
in the Shell Of q Fresh Water
Auseol

A ball of 7beeswax introduced into
the shell of living fresh-water mus
sci has resulted in producing the
most remarkable artificial pearl in
existence. It is about an inch and a
half in length, oval in form and pink
in color, and is now the property of
the Smithsonian Institution, reports
Washington exchange.
The ball of wax was placed near
the hinge of the bivalve, which being
IN tank of fresh water, was care
fully watched. The irritation of the
wax caused the mollusk to protect
itself by coating the foreign object
with a smooth coating of pearl stuff
the same material as that which is
used in lining the inner surface of it's
shell. In the case in question the
result was an enormous pearl. Owing
to pressure, however, the wax ball
lost its spherical shape and become
oval in form.
At the end of two years the mussel
was taken out of the tank and opened
and the pearl removed. The wax
afterward contracted owing to dry
ness, which caused the pearl shell to
crack. This accident, while Destroy
ing the commercial value of the
pearl, made it possible to observe the
thickness of the nacreous covering,
which is somewhat greater than that
of an ordinary sheet of letter paper.
If the pearl were not fawed it would
be worth an enormous sum Of money,
but even as it is it is priceless as a

For the Week Ending July 2, 1902.
In the early part of the week the
weather was moderately cool, bnt on the
3rd 1t changed to warmer and continued
warm the rest of the week. There were
frequent showers except during the "a
hour period ending at 7 a. m, on the 4th
and 7th; these were very heavy locally,
the following amounts being reported
during the "a hours ending on the
mornings of the dates given, as follows:
2.28 inches at Minneapolis on the 5th;
2.04 inches at st. Paul on the 9Th; 1852
inches at Montevideo on the 2nd, and
1.3O inches at Duluth on the 9Th. The
rains on the evening of the 4th and 9Th
were accompanied by high winds in
many places which blew down some very
rank grain. In central and northern
parts of the state the need of rain was
beginning to be felt, and there the rain
of the week has been beneficial to all
crops; elsewhere rain WAS not needed,
but it has caused no injury. In the
northern part of the state spring wheat,
oats, barley and fax are growing we'll;
in central and southern portions these
crops are in splendid condition, except
in few localities, where on light soil the
straw is short and fax rather thin. Po-
tatoes are good, and new potatoes are
ready for use. A great deal of clover
has been cut for hay, though the week
has not been favorable for haying, and
in southeastern portions considerable
hay has been injured or spoiled by rust.
Timothy is ready to cut.

POINTS on WAsH1N 6 CLOTHES.


Il Two distinct processes for washing
clothes are now. in use in the family
Laundry. In one ease the clothes are
boiled as our grandmothers boiled
them; IN the other they areM not
boiled. The latter method, which is
the newer one, is erroneously called
the "cold process" method, though
warm, not cold, water is generally
used. Sometimes even hot water is
employed. The temperature of the
water and the question whether the
clothes shall be boiled or not depends
upon the laundry soap used. There
are many varieties Of laundry soap
in the market to-day which contain
paraffine or naphtha, and it is not
necessary to use anything but warm
water with these soaps. Most house
keepers, however, find it more agree
able to heat water quite hot for
washing in winter, and easier to
wash in warm water, no matter what
soap is used, says the New York
Tribune.
Oldtime housekeepers who have e.
tablished and rigid ideas of the prop
er method of washing clothes are
often, no doubt, shocked when they
see how derelict the modern woman
is in washing, according to old ways.
They canont deny that her clothes
are as sweet and white as their own,
and they know she does her work
easier than they do. It is only few
generations since the oldtfme pound
ing barrel was abandoned. No one
pounds clothes now, and, if the truth
must be told, very few persons are
boiling their clothes to-day. Only q
few now use old fashioned soaps Of
a strong alkaH nature, which demand
that the clothes shall be boiled. A
large number of people use some va
riety of soap which will do it's best
work in warm or hot-not boiling
water. When clothes are boiled,
after they have been washed with
one of these soaps containing paraf-
fine or naphtha, they are not as
white as they are when not subject

To be Married. =

When the America reached here
Thursday evening there were among the
passengers that embarked at this place
two young people who were supremely
happy. When it was explained to their
surprised friends that they were to be
married in Duluth within a few days
their happiness was explained. Miss
Maggie Scott, of this place, and Fred
Emeaut, of Duluth, were the happy
couple, and outside of the relatives of
the BRIDE scarcely any one here knew
anything of the important step which
the young people were contemplating.
Miss Scott has lived here during her
whole life and is young lady of the
highest character, all of her aquaintances
are her friends and admirers and her
departure from here leaves a void thae
will be hard to fill. The fortunate
groom has been employed here for some
months and is we'll thought OF by those
who know him. We understand that
Mr.. and Mrs. Emeaut will make their
home in Duluth, and the HERALD wishes
them happy prosperous married life.

The officials of the Duluth land Office
have received instructions from the de-

entries of any kind on about 100000
acres of land in the eastern part Of Lake
and the western portion of this county.
It is understood that the action was
taken on the showing of State Forest
Commissioner @. O. Andrews, who made
the suggestion that forest reservation
could be made here. the territory being
thinly settled and more or less heavily
timbered.
The reservation which has been made
is preliminary and it is intended to have
the tracts carefully examined by special
agents of the land department. and if it
is deemed advisable, on their report, to
make the reservation permanent the
President will issue a proclamation to
that effect. The reservation, if made,
will not affect the standing OF home.
steaders in any way, aud will not include
any mineral if found within it's limits.
Some of the city papers are having
spasms over the matter and can see dire
results of thus reserving the territory
selected. As the land does not contain
any great amount of timber and there is
still great deal of good farming land
to select for homesteaders we do not
see that any one will be damaged.
The following townships in this
County are among those selected: The
