Turkish Beds.

A recent writer on Turkey says: "Bedsteads are not used by the Turks. Each room contains a large cupboard, built into the wall, in which the bedding Is piled during the day, and at night the slaves come in when summoned to make up the beds. on tba floor. Qtlnei' bedroom requisites, in the shape of washstands, dressing tables and wardrobes, are dis pensed with as superhuous. For everyday ablution there is a small washing room with hole in the floor for the water to escape through, and if the hanun would wash her hands and face only, q slave brings the ewer and basin and pours the water over her hands. For special ablutions she will go either to her own private hammam or to the public baths. She does her hair or has it donc for her, seated cross-legged in her corner of the diyan; and the old walnut-wood chests and coffers in her treasure-room suffice to store her gauges and brocades, her silks and embroideries."

JAPAN'S RAPID PROGRESS.
Has Converted Herself Into Power- ful Nation In the Last Quarter
 of a Century.

When 1 visited Yeddo and the ports of Japan in the winter of 1S60-61 the country was ruled upon the most exclusive Japanese methods, wrote Lord Wolseley in the Cosmopolitan in 1895. The people were held in subjection by hereditary nobility who ruled them with a rod of iron. They were then far behind China in all matters connected with sea pow CT, for in order to prevent any communication with foreign places all Japanese junks were, in accordance with the law, con- structed with low, open sterns, so that they dared not venture be. yond few miles from shore.
 No one can be blind to the enor. nous strides in progress Japan has made, the immense reforms she has effected and the powerful nation she has converted herself into during the last quarter of a century. The result is the crea- tion of power in the eastern seas that must in future be always taken into consideration by west. ern statesmen.

MAIDS EvAsIvE ANSWER.
Her Employer Was Busy and Could Not Receive Callers-What
 She Told Them.

Strange as it may seem, says the Philadelphia Telegraph, there is public man in this city who is blessed or cursed with a tender conscience that worries him in small matters as well as in great. Among the things that he cannot justify to himself is the bidding a servant to say that he is not at home when in reality he is inside his house. At the same time he is not able to receive many visitors who call upon him, and his only resource was to give instructions that polite excuses should be given. Upon one occa- sion such instructions were given to maid, an Irish girl gifted with the readiness and good wit of her nation.
 Then Pm to be saying, sir, that you're not at home?o the maid in- quired.
 "No, Mary, now was the reply; "that would not be true. If any, one should ask for me, you must just put him off-give him some evasive answer, you know"
 "Pll do it, sir, never fear" was the maids reply. Mary was as good as her word.
 That afternoon a person of i'm portance made his appearance, and was duly sent away. The faithful maid reported the cir cumstance to her employer.
 "What did you do, Marry" in- quired the latter, with some trep- idation.
 "Oh, I just put him off, sir as you told me. I gave him an evasive answer.'
 "Yes, but what did you say to him?'
 "Oh, sure he axed me if the boss was at home, and I said to him: Was his grandmother a mon- key?'o

''NATURE NEVER GIVES UP"
a Phrase That Is Full of Meaning for the Sick in Either Body
 or Mind.


 A phrase from a recent magazine article is so suggestive and so full of encouragement that it seems worth while to make it the text for one of our small sermons, says Woman's Home Companion. The phrase is: "Nature never gives up" You may with profit say this over carefully and thoughtfully and let it's full meaning come to you: "Nature never gives up." Nature is on the side of health, and sanity, and consequent happi ness. Hard as your case may be, the great Mother is fighting the battle with you. Has disease got into your bones? Nature has mar shaled her forces to combat 1t, and with marvellous strategy has set engines to work which are en- deavoring to circumvent the en- emy. Nature is working in con function with the physician and yourself. That is a thought which ought to cheer you. You have been imprudent, possibly have done and left undone. You have taken such ill-care of your God given body that your friends have set you down as hopeless or worse. You have told yourself that there is no hope for you. Ma ture has not given you up. She wants you to live and work and be healthy and happy and in the event of your neglect of yourself, she is still fighting for you. She has no moral idea in doing this. She just does it. Perhaps you de serve to be given up. Many of us do, it sometimes seems. But Ma fure is blind to that. Of course, she is not all-powerful. She can be overcome. She fails often. But you will do we'll to remember that in every case while there is a spark of life left, she is trying. Let that thought brace you. Buck up, and give Nature some help,
 I should like to think that we could carry the analogy into the moral world as we'll. Do you not believe that there are forces as yet unvalued which are fighting the fight for good in the souls of men? Bad d man or woman may be- there is exterior pressure to make him or her better. There is law; there is education; there are all the societies and institutions whose object is to help the down fallen and the unfortunate. But are there not other forces, too? Does not the great Mother of Souls fight continually for the spiritual health and sanity of all people? The thought is comfort ing, stimulating, encouraging. It is the business of every individual to add all his personal strength to all encounters with evil, physic al or spiritual. He can do so more heartily and with better faith for success if he remembers that ma ture never gives up."

Magnificent Distances.

The diocese of Kiawatin, in Ru- pert's Land, is one of magnificent distances. Bishop Dollhouse once walked 200 miles to fetch a doctor for his wife. Many of the Indians walk 25 miles to church, and the bishop has baptized scores of ba- hes which had been carried 150 miles on their mothers backs oyer hard frozen snow. At night tile family sleep, wrapped in the deer skins, on branches laid upon the snow.

INTERESTING CHILDREN.
Youngsters of Oriental Ministers at Washington Never Heard of Christ
 mas Before Coming Here.

There are in the foreign colony in Washington quite a number of children who never heard of Christmas until they came to the land of the free, says the Wash ington Times. Among them are the two sons and the daughter of the Chinese minister, the young, sters of the Korean legation, and Osman Sureya and Ali Haidas, the blaclx-eyed little sons of Chekih Bey, the Turkish ministerN When
 Nu Ting Fang was Chinese minis ter he adopted the American Christmas~to the extent that his young son was allowed to go to 4xne white house each Christmas morning with a bouquet almost as large as himself designed as q token for the first lady of the land. In the Chinese colony are several children who have been enjoying an American Christmas for some years past. These for tunate youngsters are the chil- dren of Yung Kwai, the secretary. Interpreter, whose wife is New England woman.

AFTERMATH OF FIGHT.

Comment on the Long Fredericks
fight and just what the fighters
should have done which they didn't
do, is being talked of among the local
sports.
II. W. Peasley, who was coaching
Long from his corner, maintains that
his man was repeatedly fouled, while
Lafontaise blames Fredericks for
carelessness in letting his jaw come
in contact with Longs mitts.
In the matter of weight Fredericks
had the long end.
But few large bets we're placed on
either man, and Referee Murrin's de-
cision met With general approval.
Both men want to meet again in
the ring and will doubtless come
together as soon as Long fills an en-
gagement in Milwaukee.

CARRUTH IN CHAMPION

From the Crookston Times
r. G. Carruth came in from the
Twin Cities on Sunday morning to
attend. the funeral Of Mrs. James
Mckenzie. Mr.. Carruth has been to
the cities to purchase the furniture
and equipment for the new hotel at
Hayre OF which he has charge and
will open about tie middle Of Feb
ruary.
He tells us that while at Minneapo-
lis he noticed a sign on the street
cars Roller Skating Rink and the
old fire Of roller skating Immediately
took hold Of him and he spent one
evening on the floor Of the new rink
which has just been opened in that
city. He states that the old infatua-
ton seems to have taken hold Of the
new generation aud brings back to
the old skater memories Of twenty
years ego when the roller skating
craze swept over the whole country.
i During the old days when Mr.
Carruth commonly called Judge was
in the racing business he managed to
keep for Crookston and Minnesota the
championship of the western states
and many exciting races were held
here in the old rink which stands up
on the site where A. Braley's resi-
dence now stands, and was owned by
Chas. E. Sawyer and others.
Judge" Carruth since 1884 and
1886 has held many worlds records
On the Washington avenue track in
Minneapolis he met the speediest
men in the world and also skated at
Winnipeg, Grand Forks, Fargo and
all northwestern cities. In a six day
race at Minneapolis he made several
worlds records from POO to 600 miles
which still hold good, and his record
OF 100 miles on a eight lap track in 8
hours and Is minutes is still worlds
record.
Mr.. Carruth leaves this evening for
Havre where he is interested in bust
ness and is doing we'll.

it was noticed that the ship did the
same, thereby clearly indicating that she
meant to give chase. Had the pirate
chosen to run to the southwark she
might easily have escaped, for she was
evidently the best sailer, but she meant
to do no such thing. This would put

Ear1y Plowina For wheat.

While all wheat growers recognize
the necessity for late sowing of wheat
to avoid, as far as possible, the raw
ages Of the hessian fly, all do not see
the necessity for early preparation of
the soil. 1t is generally believed that
much of the loss from winter freez-
ing might be avoided by the early
blowing of the ground for winter
wheat.
Early preparation Of the seed bed
is easier than late blowing; it gives
one chance to get rid of the weeds
more effectively, the seed bed may
have one or more extra borrowings or
rollings and, altogether, put in much
better condition than when the plow-
ing is done late. Then, too, should
the ground be not in the best eondi-
ton at seeding time, the thorough prep
aration previous will count for a
great deal, enabling one to catch the
ground for the final narrowing and
rolling whenever it chances to be right
for such working.
The question of varieties should also
receive more consideration than it does
and an excellent way is to look up the
best wheat fields in your county on
similar soil and ascertain what varie-
ties are grown. In addition to this
every wheat grower, large or small,
should have test ground for new
sorts. 1t will pay for its cost in Civ
ing one accurate knowledge of sorts
on their own grounds
