neapol1s to grant to any Of their men an
increase in wages. they are now pay
Ing a higher scale Of wages than in any

has been demonstrated by the experience
OF the past year that to continue to In
crease that expense, would place such a
burden upon the millers of Minneapolis
that they would no longer be able to keep
up the reputation of Minneapolis and their

now means gradual reduction Of milling

q very material decrease In the number OF

First Used the Word Combine. !"

The late ex-AIderman Michael Duffy
of New York, who died last Sunday, is
believed to haye been the first man
to use the word "com bine" as q noun.
He used it in connection with the gang
of aldermen, of which he was ono, who
we're indicted in connection with the
notorious Broadway franchise deal, in
1886, referring to the band of bo0dlers
as "the com bine." In consideration OF
the testimony Duffy gave against the
gang, the indictment against him was
dismissed. The newspapers took up
the use of combine" as slang phrase
describing combinations of doubtful
character. Now the word as noun
has come into almost general use with
reference to trusts, mergers and vari-
Gus sorts OF binations, and it has
gone into the dictionary.

DIFFICULTIES INSUPERABLE.
What Mr.. Chamberlain Thinks OF
the Panama Canal Route.

An Englishman of the name of
Chamberlain has furnished the anti
Panama canal contingent an argument
in the shape OF letter which he has
sent to the Westminster Gazette of
London. Mr.. Chamberlain, it seems,
has personal knowledge of his subject,
having been in some way connected
with the canal work under the French
company. He says that the difficulties
in the way of constructing a canal on
the Panama route are of such charac>
ter as to be insuperable. In the first
place, the climate is extremely un-
healthy. There are only two seasons,
one very wet and the other very dry,
aud fevers are prevalent. The route
is volcanic, and earthquakes occur al
short intervals.
The people are revolutionary. and
an insurrection may be relied Oh every
two years. Labor is scarce and unsat'
isfactory. Crossing the Culebra noun
tain is problem that has never been
solved. These and other things he
affirms. They are not new, but the
revival of them at this time, when
congress is in session, will have the Ell
tect of causing renewed interest TO be
taken in them.

MANS HAND IN HIS MAIL.
Queer Exhibit Sent for Use in a
Pension Case.

A mans hand which had been ampu-
tated at the wrist was received by
Representative Brown of Wisconsin
through the mails from constituent
the other day, says Washington spe-
cial to the New York World. Represent
ative Brown called at the house post
office for his mail and was given a
neatly tied box. The package looked as
though it might contain a Christmas
present from some admiring constitu-
ent.
"They always remember me at home"
said Mr.. Brown as he walked over to
his desk. Carefully he united the string
and unwrapped the paper. hand
rolled out. With a cry Of horror Mr..
Brown dropped it. Several colleagues
ran up to see what had happened.
Attached to the hand was a letter
written by the sender, Adam Goshege,
who wrote that he was an old soldier
and had been trying for years to get
pension. He said the examining sur
geons appeared to doubt that the ampu-
tation Of his hand had been made nee
essary because of an injury received in
the service.
81 have kept my hand in alcohol"
wrote Mr.. Goshege, land l send it to
you so that l can get my pension. If
you will file it with my other papers In
the pension office l am sure the sur
geons can see that it was amputated
because of the failure to heal Of a gun
shot wound received while in the serv-
ice.
eff you do not use the hand, please re-
turn to me-"
Mr.. Brown will return the hand.

NEWEST INDOOR GAME.
PingpOng Pool and Rules fol
Playing 1t.

With pingpong still somewhat of a
craze and very popular for indoor
amusement purposes we are about to
have thrust upon us another game
which combines features of this game
with a new idea, the name-pingpong
pool-telling the story of the combina-
ton. This new invention to pass away
the time consists of an upright caDl-
net having a series of numbered peck
cts, the pockets being covered with
netting, the mesh of which Is such
that the balls can only pass inside
when driven with some force, says the
Louisville Courier-J Journal. Once in
side the netting prevents their escape
through the face of the cabinet, but at
the rear of each pocket is an opening
through which the balls pass into
common drawer at the rear.
The players are provided with rack
cts similar to those used in pingpong,
and the balls are dropped upon the ia
BILE and struck with the racket with
sufficient force to drive them into the
pockets, the skill of the player in plac-
ing the balls determining the winner.
Each pocket is numbered, and the
game may be played either to gain the
highest score in a limited number of
plays or to tally a certain number i'll
alternate plays. A New York city man
is the inventor.

QUOTES is controlled by syndicate
with total output of 100000 tons
The briquettes vary in weight from
three to ten pounds and are usually
square or oblong in shape, convenient
to be packed or built up into a wall
like blNcks, greatly economizing space.
When burned whole, they are con-
sumed slowly, giving out a steady,
moderate heat for a long time. When
1t is desired to intensity the heat, they
are broken up and then give out a
long, fierce fame. The state railways
of Prussia use 100000 tons OF these
industrial briquettes annually.

the cost Of installing plants near avail
able locations. These manufacturers
have expressed a desire to furnish esti-
mates on all materials If sent to the
German Offices in packages containing

MAUD MULLER UP TO BATE.
How She Gathers the Ripened
Corn i'm South Dakota.

The spectacle of farmers daughters
wading about in two feet of snow har-
vesting corn in bleak December wealth
er would be rather astonishing to
farmers in many localities, but such
novel sight can be witnessed almost
any day in the Bohemian neighbor-
hood out at West Lakeport, says the
Yankton Is. d. Press.
The other day, with the thermometer
approaching the zero mark and snow
drifts two or three feet deep, two girls
about sixteen years &c aye were seen
trudging around In a field gathering
corn. They wore rubber boots. and the
snow was fully up to their knees. Such
an unusual occurrence led to an inter
view with these December Maud Null
lers, who were raking the corntield
white with snow. One of the maidens
! whose cheeks We'd in rosy beauty with
big red Missouri apple, laughed mer-
rily at the newspaper mans surprise.
ooh, we don't mind it. This is a little
unusual. to be sure, but the frosts
came before one-third of our corn had
been harvested, and we must save
what we can. The corn isn't much
good, but by making the harvest in the
( snow we will get at least half crop,
and while the grain is poor it will fat
ten hogs, and we will get our money
out of it in this way"
Still farther up the road was found
whole family at work saving the
corn from the snow buried fields. Two
little children whose heads only rose
above the snow a foot or two were in
the party, but seemed to enjoy the nov
city of the situation, and their gay
chatter was suggestive of the song
birds of the balmy opening. Not more
! than one-half of the corn crop has been
harvested, and this winter work will
probably save at least threefourths Of
the crop. Most Of the corn gathered
now is used for fattening hogs.
