Sheep Ranches OF the Maine Coast

When all island off the Maine Coast
is good for nothing else it is turned into
d maritime sheep ranch, and much
money is made in that way, men from
other states having invested large sums
in the purchase of islands snd stock.
The sheep are turned loose, and left to
get living as best they can. The ISL
ands appear barren, tut the sheep get
along very well, and are invariably fat
when their owners come with boats to
take them off for slaughter in the fall
On some of the islands there is no
water whatever, but the sheep get
what moisture they need from the
heavy dews, and where grass is scrub
by and scarce the animals cultivate a
fOndness for various kinds of seawesds,
which diet is said to give an excellent
flavor to the M Itton.-Bangor Letter
to New York Tribune.

probably the oldest toy center in the
world is the thousand year-old city of
Nuremberg. In the Middle Ages it
was veritable toy land, and even now
it retains almost absolute supremacy in
the matter of leaden toys, especially
soldiers" says the Wsman's Home
Companion. "Many hundreds of work
men are employed in this industry
and something like one hundred thou
sand lead soldiers are turned out every
day in the year The peasants of Thur
ingia are largely employed in toymak-
ing, and their productions are all sent
to marke, through Nuremberg"

When the sun VIII Fail.

The total Of the suns heat is equal
to that which would be required to
keep up 476.000 millions of millions
Of millions OF horsepower, or about 49,
000 horsepower for every square yard,
and yet the modern dynamical theory
of heat shows that the suns mass
must fall in or contract thirty-fve
meters per annum to keep up that ire
mendous energy.
At this rate of contraction the solar
radius will be .01 per cent less in 1000
years from now than it is today. Ac-
cording to these deductions. time
must come when the temperature must
fall. This being the case, it is incon-
ceivable that the sun will continue to
emit heat sufficient to sustain animal
life for more than 100000. years
longer.

Fashions In Furs.

1t is time to begin to think Of your
furs for the winter season. Last sea
son squirrel was strong rage. It will
not be discarded this season, says the
New York Evening Journal. Chinchilla
fur will be seen a great deal. Possess
ors Of sailskin should feel cheerful,
as this fur is to be most fashionable,
especially in the shape of boleros with
pelerine collars and as carriage wraps
mixed with sables Another style of
carriage wrap is full length, having a
sort of compromise between the Japa-
nese sleeve and the 1880 pelerine for a
sleeve. Sable and ermine are beautiful
in this wrap. The moleskin fur Is to be
worn. The Elton cape of astrakhan or
chinchilla must not be forgotten, as it
is quite new and modish.

alexandria Street Fair.

Preparations fer the Alexandra
street fair and carnival, to be held
Sept. 20, 30 and Oct. l aud 2, have
| reached that stage where it is safe to
predict that fair will furnish one OF
the best free shows eyer seen in
Douglas county. All that is now
needed to insure success is a guaran-
tee of fair weather. The attractions
booked for that week are so many
and varied that each visitnr is sure to
find omething of peculiar interest to
him. In fact the entire programme is
one which will interest one and all.
The executive committee, in planning
the weeks attractions, first secu, ed a
number of free attractions so each
visitor would get the worth of his
money, without paying dime to any
one of the many side shows which
are usually to be found at a street
fair. These free daily attractions
will be balloon ascension and a
parachute leap, daily performances
upon the high wire by the great Dav-
export the king of the high wire.
Davenport is an artist and gives the
most daring and startling perform
ances. In addition to these free
shows the Renix Bros. celebrated
minstrels, will give free platform ex-
hibitions. Other great feature. Of
the fair are the contest between the
league teams of ST Paul aud Winni-
peg, the coronation of the queen of
the carnival, the puclic wedding and
the great industrial parade. All free
except the games between tn, So two
champion base ball teams, to which
a small entrt ice fe. will be charged.
Reduced rates are granted on the
Great Northern railroad, as ar as
Fergus Falls aud east from St. Cloud
1t is also expected that rates will be
secured over the 500 railroad.

FARMERS INSTITUTE.
If Desired, One Can de Held Here
This Fall.

Postmaster Berkip has received the
blanks for petition for a farmers
institute to be held here sometime
this fall or winter after the institute
season begins.
1t is necessary that all those who
are interested in this whether they be
farmers or business men call and sign
this petition, and then see to II that
an executive committee be appointed,
with whom the state conductor of the
Institutes can make the detailed ar
rangements for the meeting.
There will be no expense connected
with the meeting as this is all borne
by the state except the expense OF
heat and light of the building. The
good produced by hese institutes is
such that the business men of Morris
should not let this matter go without
attention.

Still riggin
cents.

The GAINESVILLE coal fields have at
traeted very little attention lately and
it was generally supposed that they
had been abandoned entirely until
the blowing up of an engine last week
called forcihle attention to the fact
that prospecting was still in progress.
The following from the Hawley Her
aid tends to explain the silence that
has overhung the "diggings:" Pros
pecting for coal east of GAINESVILLE is
still a live issue. They have gone
down about seventy-five feet in a
number of places and have struck
coal every time. The deposit seems
to be from three to four feet thick
and of good Ignite quality. The
only question as yet undecided is
whether it will pay to mine the stuff.
Some mine experts have alreadv said
that it will. An attempt at strict
secrecy is kept and the men doing the
digging have taken an oath to the
effect that they will keep their
mouths shut. Benson Monitor.

WRECK ON GREAT NORTHERN.
Fish Car Finally Derails Train
with Fatal Results.

The regular east-bound passenger
No. 10, conductor Deviney, was
wrecked one mile west of Dassel Sun
day morning at o'clock. The train
consisted of mail car, freight and
refrigerator car, baggage car,
smoker, two dav coe ctes and two
81 epers. All went ito the ditch
with the exception of the mail car
end two sleeping cars. The day
coaches completely capsized and
rolled down the embankment for
twenty-five feet.
TIE train was running forty-fve
miles an hour. The accident was
caused by the trucks of the refrigera-
tor car leaving the rails,
The casualties were remarkably
light Tor such an accident An UNI
Known tramp stealing a RIDE on the
trucks of one of the day coaches was
badly mangled. He had $95 on his
person.
A "fsh" car that had been attached
to the Great Northern passenger
train from Winnipeg is said to have
heeu the cause of the wreck.
Some time ago railway mail clerks
protested to the postmaster general
against the practice of the railway
placing the fish car, which is an OF
binary freight car, ahead of the mail
coach, because the fish Car had left
the tracks onfour different occasions
lately. It is claimed that the fish
car can not ride with regular passen-
ger coaches at high rate of speed.
and several accidents have resulted
from the use of the passenger train
for the accommodation o. this car.
When the train pulled out of Win
nipeg the fish car was placed in the
rear of the mail coach. The smoker
was in the rear of the fish car, and it
was thrown on the side of the tracks
in collision with the freight car Bo' b
cars, however, remained upright. A
day coach, crowded with passengers
that followed, tumbled down twelve
foot embankment ana landed at the
bottom, bottom side up, and second
day coach that had started down the
embankment, stuck in the mud half
way down the hill. One of the
sleeping cars left the tracks and a
second sleeper remained on the rails,
the passengers of both escaping in
jury.
