A DEBT LIFTED.
Generous Gift of Mr.. and Mrs. Free
Busch of Red Wing.

/, The Goodhue County News of the
21st inst. published at Red Wing, con-
tanned the following:
ST. .Ioscph's day, which is always
the great feast of st. Joseph's church,
was celebrated Thursday with the
usual elaborate ritual and with the
peculiar joy of having the debt lifted.
1t was after the mass that Bernard
Busch, one of the choir boys, called
on Father Gaughan at the rectory
and with choir boy politeness hand
ed him an envelope with the compli-
ments of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Busch.
1t contained the Cancelled mortgage
for $1,000 which was the last of the
church's building debt.
The debt was acquired in 1854 and
was nearly twenty years old. 1t was
first $5,O0O was reduced to $1,000 in
1890 and had been cut down another
$500 last year.
Father Gaughan was delighted with
the generosity Of the gift and with
the modcsty of it's presentation. 81
hope the folks down at Ryan will
hear of this" says Father Prender-
gast as he offered his congratulations
The high mass was celebrated by
Rev. J. Prcndergast of st. Columb-
skill's, Rev. L. A. Priuton of st. Peter
Claver, deacon; Rev. John Stelmas of
Sacred Heart, subdeacon; Rev. j. III.
Gauglan, master of ceremonies. The
sermon by Rev. Thomas j. Gibbons Of
ST. Mary's, st. Paul. was accounted Il
niastcrly effort. He described st. JO-
seph as the second in the hierarchy of
saints, pictured him also us the type
of domestic virtues and as the special
patron of labor. \ German sermon
was preached by Father Steluas at
the early mass.
The music was unusually success
full, chiefly from the Messc SOlonclle
of GOunOd and NLoZart's Twelfth
mass. 80 SHlltaris' was sung by
Mrs. Dewitt and Mr.. Magnussen. The
OlrertOry was, 80 SAcrum COnNiN-

INTERESTING EVENT.
Dedication Of St. J0seph's hospital al
Rrainerd.

st. JOSeph'S hospital W:lS thrOnEcu
Thursday evening with Il large num-
Der of people of the city to witness
the dedication ceremonies and after
ward be shown about the new institll-
tion built by the Order of Benedictinc
Sisters, and it was in many respects
Il great evening. says the l'raincru
Dispatch of March 20.
At 7:3O o'clock Bishop McGorick
blessed the new building during the
singing of Veni Creator. This was
followed by the bcncdiction, after
which the bishop gave the dedicatory
address.
Bishop McGolrick spoke in part as
follows:
'"rhc establishment Of hospitals for
the free care of sick and suffering is
essentially Il product of Christian civil
ization, and something that was I'M
known to the pagans in Rome and
Greece, who even ut the height Of
their civilization had no such institu-
tiohs. History records that at one
time in Pagan Rome the sick were put
upon ships, taken out into the ocean
and sunk, but as Christianity has
grown the suffering and unfortunate
have been cared for III hospitals by
kind and benevolent nurses and
treated by scientific physicians and
surgeons.
"Of recent years there has been a
marked change in the attitude of poor
or people toward hospitals. He re-
members the time when the ignorant
being sent to the hospital was in their
death. He recalled that hundreds of
times he had been at sick beds where
the room would be tightly closed to
keep out all fresh air; that the SYM
pathizing friends and relatives of tho
sufferer would sit around and while
thinking they were helping would dc
their best to kill him. But how differ
ent are the conditions in q modern
hospital to this. Here the sufferer is
i'll clean, light, airy room, tended b!
gentle, patient sisters and treated by
men who devote their whole life tt
science of the medical profession
The sisters are women who, in enter
ing upon their vocation, give up al
hopes of earthly reward, and thcil
ministra tions to the sick are most un
selfish and kind, as it is their life
work, and not performed for Il mo
nentary consideration.
"And in a perfectly equipped hospi
tai such as this is, the wealthy cal
have all the luXuries and convenience
their money can buy, and likewise th'
poor and unfortunate will be tnicl
care of absolutely free and will re
ceive the same kind attention and tn
benefit of the same scientific and abb
Diedical treatment. 1t is decide,
honor to Brainerd to have such III
institution and building that tn
citizens of the city can point to wit
I pride.

Planting Seeds by Cannon.

Nasmyth, landscape painter OF re.
putc, was held in great esteem as a land.
scapc gardener, and in this capacity
helped to compose some OF the finest
park and forest scenery. The estate OF
then duke OF Athol was disfgurcd by
an unsightly crag, the rocks OF which
we're inaccessible to Ct imbcrs. BY a
happy thought Nasmyth determined TO
make bold bid for success with can
non, which was at hand. By his ad,
vice tin caniStcrS were prepared, and
loaded with tree seeds. Fired from the
cannon's mouth, these novel shells burst
against the face OF the crag, and scat
tered their fruitful contents among the
rocky crcvces. Nature carried on the
work so clevcrly begun, and IN the
course OF years these barren heights
were clothed and crowned with trees o.
iuxuriant growth. Nasmyth's. son;
lanes, the Scottish astronomer, is saIo
to have repeated the experiment wi;h
equal success.

Cold Water Poison Absorbing.

In connection with the subject OF
water, there is one peculiar property of
that liquid with which every one should
be made acquainted, and that is, its
capacity for absorbing impurities, which
increases proportionatcly the colder it
gets. Hence, water that has stood in
an insuiticcntly ventilated sleeping
chamber all night is not only unplcas-
ant, but positively injurious to drink,
since it readily absorbs the poisonous
gases given off by respiration and the
action OF the skin. An ordinary pitcher
OF water, under such conditions, at a
temperature OF sixty degrees will be
found to have absorbed during the night
from a pint to a pint and half OF car
bonic acid gas, and an increase OF am
monia. Ice water is an objectionable
drink at all times, but ii it is INDUCED
ill., the vessel containing it should never
be left uncovered in sleeping or sitting
rooms, because at freezing point its ca
pacity for absorbing these dccterlous
substances is rcarly doubled.

The teaching Of the gospel among

Jealous young missionary to the tene'
ments makes the following confession:
She had labored long and earnestly
to instil little Bible history into the
understanding of one particularly OBJ
durate old pagan woman, who prompt
ly forgot the few lessons she learned.
The difficulty of exciting her interest
seemed to be the principal one. Lit
eral readings and paraphrases alike
failed to reach her sympathics. Final
ly one day the missionary put he'
whole heart and gift of paraphrase
into a recital of the Passion. To her
delight she saw that her listener was
aroused at last and showed genuine
emotion. The recital came to an end.

SCARLET DAFFODILS ON MARKET

They Are Made by Putting Stems In
CoIored Water.
There Is no such thing as q scarlet
daffodil. The so-called scarlet daffodila
are simply the familiar Van Sions
treated artificially.
They are not dyed, as people used to
think of the green carnation once fash
lonable; but, after cutting, the stems
are immersed III water saturated with
red dye, which passes up the vessels
of the stems, and is absorbed In the
petals, where it soon overpoWers the
time-honored yellow.
This trick, which is near akin TO
vandalism, has been played very gen
orally in London this spring, especially
by the itinerant vendors in Sloane
street, where we have seen apparently
lavender narcissi, which were bear
able, and others tinged with the most
horrible magenta.
