The public lands which have
been opened for settlement in
Minnesota within the past few
weeks have attracted a great
crowd of landseekers but the
number of settlers gained has
been comparatively small. The
rules under which these lands
have been opened for settlement
make it impossible for the specu-
lator to secure much of them
while those who take them must
have some ready cash and must
be. prepared to live upon them
for term of years. The result
of these rules will be more
rapid development of the untitled
lands of northern Minnesota

Defeat Of The Charter.

So strong has been the person

past few weeks that the defeat
of the charter proposed for the
organization Of Bemidji as a city
has hardly elected any comment
whatever. The vote on the char.
ter shows very decisively that
the people of Bemidji do not
want5a city organization at the
present time. The defeated
charter was claimed to be faulty
in various respects and it prob
ably was. The perfect charter
has not yet been written But

Coal Washing in Great Britain.

From Mines and Minerals.
It is impossible to deny that English
colIiery owners are indebted to German
manufacturers for the best systems of coal
washing. 1t is we'll known that the coal OF
the Westphalian and Prussian coal fields
is greatly inferior to our own, being got
from a greatly disturbed area and thus
there are not only many bands or DIRT
stone etc, running through them, but with
the highly inclined seams there is a greater
likelihood of shale and other foreign mat
ter becoming intermiXed during eXcavatlng
and filing Hence arises the necessity Tor
careful washing. and the perfection OF me-
chanical appliances for doing 1t. On the
other hand, large proportion OF Brltlsn
coal comes up large and clean from the
mine, requiring very little picking before
going into the wagons. The small coal IN
MANY cases does not contain any serious
washing which has been a necessity IN
some countries. has not been looked upon
in this light here.
But recently a change has taken place
and the utility of washing coal has been
recognized This is not because the good
seams of coal referred to are becoming eX-
hausted nor because there is more dirt IN
the slack than formerly: 1t is simply be-
cause colliery owners are finding that thln-
ner and inferior seams can be worked TO
advantage if good arrangements are made
for mechanically preparing the coal for
sale At the same time it is admitted that
coal is now being washed which formerly
was considered good enough for sale I'M
mediately after screening: but this is due
to the fact that even fairly clean slack is
improved in price with washing.

diers, but also diligent cultivators of the
soil, and had acquired considerable pro-
ficiency in agriculture, although they had
no horses, oxen or other animals of
draught. To this day the men earn their
living chiefly as day laborers in the fields
now owned by the Mexicans. The staple
product now, as of yore, is the maize, and
next to it the maguey or agave, the sweet
sap of which is the principal material for
the famous Mexican pulque. Some species
are cultivated as vegetables, others for the
sake Of their leaves, which yield a strong
fiber that can be woven into fabrics. Hence
the saying that the agave supplies the peo-
pie with drink, food and clothing. The men
have little ambition to excel in handicraft.
Farriery and carpentry are about the only
trades they care to take up. In the cities
they work as porters, carriers or peddlers
in a small way.
Like all southern Indians, their complex
Ion is of a rudy chocolate brown, and they
are not particularly good looking. Most of
the women now have large hands and feet,
probably the inheritance of generations of
hard workers. And they are strong. In the
warehouse of a wine merchant an Aztec
porter was seen to take a cask of claret on
his back and carry it quite distance. The
load certainly weighed not less than 400
pounds, and no white man would have
thought of lifting it. The law requires the
people in the cities to forsake the Indian
breechcloth and poncho and assume the
regulation garb of the poor working class
of MeXico-the wide, loose trousers of cot
ton cloth or manta, with jacket to match
but the breechc,oth is worn outside of the
trousers and thereby replaces the civilized

Do Animals ReasonP
John Burroughs in Outing.


When a bird selects a site for its nest, it
seems, on first view, as IL 1t must actually
think, reflect, compare, as you and l do
when we decide where to place our house.
1 saw a little chipping sparrow trying to
decide between two raspberry bushes. She
kept going from one to the other, peering.
inspecting, and apparently weighing the adj
vantages of each. I saw robin in. the
woodbine on the side of the house trying to
decide which particular place was the best
site for her nest. She hoped to this tangle
of shoots and sat down: then to that; she
turned around; she readjusted herself, she
looked about, she worked her feet beneath
her she was slow in making up her mind.
Did she make up her mind? Did she think,
compare, weigh? do not believe it. When
she found the right conditions, she no
doubt felt a pleasure and satisfaction, and
that settled the question. An inward, in
stinctive want was met and satisfied by an
outward material condition. In the same
way the hermit crab goes from shell to
she'll upon the beach, seeking one to its
liking Sometimes two crabs fall to fighting
over a shell that each wants. Can we be-
lieye that the hermit crab thinks and rea-
sons? 1t selects the suitable shell instinc-
lively, and not by an Individual act of
judgment. Instinct is not always inerrant.

A Cowboys Battle With Steer.


The great event at Cheyenne this year
was the remarkable feat of ''Will' Pickett,
a negro hailing from Taylor, Tex. who
gave his exhibition while twenty thousand
people watched with wonder and admira-
ton a mere man, unarmed and without a
device or appliance of any kind, attack a
fiery wild-eyed and powerful steer and
throw it by his teeth. With the aid of a
helper Picket chased the steer until he was
in front Of the grand stand. Then he
jumped from the saddle and landed on the
back of the animal, grasped its horns and
BY remarkable display of strength he
twisted the steers head until it's nose
pointed straight into the air, the animal
truding in it's effort to secure air. Again
and again the negro was jerked from his
feet and tossed into the air, but his grip
on the horns never once -lposened, and the
steer failed in it's efforts to gore him. Cow
boys with their lariats rushed to Pickett s
assistance but the action Of the combat
was too rapid for them. Before help could
be given Pickett, who had forced the steer s
nose into the mud and shut off it's wind,
slipped and was tossed aside like piece
of paper. There was scattering Of cow
boys as he jumped to his feet and ran for
his horse. Taking the saddle without
touching the stirrup, he ran the steer to a
point opposite the judges stand, again
Jumped onto its back and threw 1t. Twice
was the negro lifted from his feet, but he
held on with the tenacity of a bulldog.
Suddenly Pickett dropped the steers head
and grasped the upper lip of the animal
with his teeth, threw his arms wide apart,
to show that he was not using his hands,
and sank slowly upon his back. The steer
lost its footing and rolled upon its back,
completely covering the negro's body with
its own. The crowd was speechless with
horror, many believing that the negro had
been crushed; but a second later the steer
rolled to its other side. and Pickett arose
uninjured, bowling and smiling.

Magnetic Separation Of Ores.
rom Mines and Minerals,

From Mines and Minerals.
The subject of magnetic separation of the
ores of iron has been gone over so many
times and so many great things have been
promised as to what it would do for the
iron industry and the results have so many
times been a failure. that the iron inter-
ests have looked In vain for something
that would be a profit to them. In fact
they have lost interest in the subject. Much
that has been written has been in regard
to magnetic separators which were to revo-
lutionize the preparation of iron ores, ana
sight has been lost of the fact that the
great and costly end of the business. both
in the magnetic treatment of zinc and iron
ores was the preparation of the materials
for magnetic separation.

Why Gold Goes Abroad.
From Public Opinion.

Gold exports for November reach the
wholly unprecedented total for this month
of more than S25,000,000. With our grain
and cotton crops moving abroad. and not
withstanding large European purchases of
our securities, we continue to lose gold.
This anomalous condition Is partly ex-
planned by the fact that. owing to peculiar
conditions In Germany and elsewhere
abroad our bankers can make a profit by
shipping gold. Another explanation is that
large lines of bonds, the new Pennsylvania
and Rock Island issues. for example, have
been bought in London only to be quickly
resold here to secure the premium 1t
would evidently be mistake to infer from
the exports of gold that the balance OF
trade is against us; we are not paying gold
abroad, we are lending it.
