Mr.. Perry will continue his lectures
tonight and Monday night. His sub
jects are Homes and Faunts of
American Authors and Some Auth
ors [ Have Known In these lectures
he speaks without the aid of notes and
in a manner described by those who
have heard him as intimate. unstudied
and delightful In appearance Mr..
Perry is not at all the sort of man
one would expect to find lecturing un-
der the auspices of federation of club
women He doesn't wear his hair long
nor assume an attitude of thoughtful
melancholy with his elbow on table
and his cheek in his hand. Slightly
over the middle height he is inclined
to be portly, and although scholarly
looking he gives no impression of an
overplusage of Soul, and the suspicion
is even present that with the proper
provocation he could say something
of the mannerisms of the conventional
public speaker. and in this respect his
lectures. even when read. deserve the
|. name of "chatS" which he applies TO
them, and people who like an ordinary
conversational tone and manner en-
ployed in lecture. and are glad to
dispense with tricks of voice, Dronun-
citation and gesture, will enjoy the
Perry series. Although Mr. Perry
talked of many present-day makers OF
books and showed their pictures and
pictures of their most noted works. he
did not even mention Ebert Hubbard
and the Roycroft shop at East Aurora,
N Y, an omission which the Immort-
ais will find it hard to forgive him He
did what he could however, to place
himself in favor with Topeka by men

THE WONDERFUL NETTLE.
Some Interesting Facts from the HIS
tory Of the Common sting
Ing shrub.


There was atime once when the COM
mon nettle was not the despised weedit
is now. People did not root IT out of
existence or shun il as nuisance, but
cultivated II for use as food, for cloth
ing and for paper manufacture, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
IT certainly does not look inviting as
food, and yet during the Irish famine
hundreds of poor people existed entire
ly on It, cooking the young plant as
green. There was a method Of blanch-
it by "earthing up" as is now used for
sea kale.
Animals, while refusing to touch the
growing nettle, devour it eagerly when
made into hay, and in Russia, Sweden
and Holland it is mown several times
a year for fodder.
The nettle belongs to the genus urt-
lea. That term comes from a Latin
word meaning "to burn" and it is an
apt name. The sting is hot as a burn
and most painful An old herbalist, Cul-
pepper, says it "may be found by feel
ing, on the darkest night"
The common name given TO the nettle
in some languages means "that with
which one sews," for the fiber was
used as thread several centuries ago.
In Kamchatka the natives use the
thread for fishing lines and cordage.
In France it is used for paper. In Hin
dustan and China it is woven into grass
cloth, and the Scotch have prepared,
spun and woven It into as good linen as
the flax makes.
When king cotton went TO Europe a
century ago thenewcomer superseded
the homegrown plant, and itsank into
state Of neglect until few years
ago. when the Germans made an effort
10 revive its culture.
Prof. Renleaux begged the people TO
turn their attention to the stinging
nettle as a thread producer, and Mad
am RoeszIer-Lade tried. in 1873, to raise
IL on herown estate But she could not
make the stupid peasants follow her
orders. for they scorned the plant and
her ideas. Later, in 1877, she succeeded
in exhibiting nettle fiber IN all stages,
from the beginning to spun yarn and it
was a great triumph for her. Immedi-
ately Switzerland, Poland, Sweden,
Austria and North America hastened to
grow neftles. and the noses that had
been turned up assumed a different ex-
precision.
The Chinese nettle yields a fiber as
soft as silk. and there Is BOW IN Dress
den a "China grass" mandatory, de-
voted TO the industry Of weaving cloth
from this and the common nettle

THOSE who are on the ''insi de''
quietly announce that Gov. Van SAINT
will be a candidate for a third term;
that the governor and Frank Eddy
have already formed a defensive and
offensive alliance; that the applications
for appropriations to provide for extra
clerks and stenographers by nearly all
the appointive Offices in the capitol is
part of a scheme to provide campaign
workers at the expense of the State to
bore the voters with personal letters;
and that the letter writing bureau is

Examiner johnson, hence the latter's
demand for three additional stenogra-
pliers for his office. ...,,:

Sunshine on Uncle Sam.

A Washington dispatch says: 1.-THE
sun never sets on the English flag' has
been the boast of the Briton for many
years. The citizens of the United
States can make the same boast to-day.
A few statistics show that the meridian
dividing east and west extremities of
United States territory passes through
the Hawaiian Islands very near Homo
lulu.
The west point of the United States
territory is on the coast of Maine. 81 de-
grees west, and the east point is in the
Philippines at III degrees east. From
tip to tip therefore, the United States
extends 176 degrees, or within 4 de-
grees of half the circumference of the
earth. Thus, assthe last rays of the
setting sun fall on the coast OF Maine
the dawn is breaking in the Philip
pines.

Death OF HON. NATHAN WARNER.

DEATH OF hon. NATHAN WARNER.
Hon. Nathan Warner, one of the best
known and most highly respected citi-
zens Of Wright county, was run down
by 500 train and instantly killed near
his home in Buffalo last Saturday morn
ing. Mr.. Warner was native of Ohio
and came to Minnesota in 1866. He
was seventy-three years and one month
old at the time of his death. He rep
resented his district in the State leeis-
lature in 1876 and 1878, and held the
responsible position of treasurer of
Wright county for many years. He
was quiet and unassuming gentleman.
true as steel to his friends and intensely
loyal to the Republican party, with
which he affiliated from the date of it's
birth; but his sterling worth and un-
questionable honesty commanded the
respect and support Of men of all
parties. May the dews Of heaven ever
''brighten with verdure the grave
where he sleeps.''

THE LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION

Representative Mark and Craig vote
right on every measure that comes up
in the house. Neither of them do much
talking, but talk is cheap and does not
count for a great deal. There are too
many talking members. Representa-
tive Mclean has been in i'll health and
absent from the house most of the ses-
sion. Senator Barker is also a quiet
member, but when occasion requires it
he can make himself heard and he al
ways commands the attention of his
brother senators. The delegation from
the Forty-ffth district will not suffer
by comparison with any delegation in
the legislature.
