While eating a monday lunch at
the Chamber of Commerce lunch
counter, Minneapolis, a few days
ago., a feshy man. about fifty years
of age, came and seated himself on a
stool next to mine. He called for
his dinner in a brusque manner and
began eating hurriedly. Not more
than minute or two afterward this
mans head dropped suddenly for
ward on his chest and his knife and
fork slipped from ahis hands. I
wheeled around toward him and dis
covered that he was totally uncon-
scious and ina state of collapse. /
held him on the stool until others
came to my assistance, when we
carried him into an Office adjoining
the restaurant andalaid him upon
the floor. Although all this was
done inside of FIVE minutes the man
was dead before we gothim straight
ened out on the floor.

where the octopus Is Eaten.

The octopus is very largely used as
an article of food in southern Italy. It's
long tentacles are cut transversely, so
that when served at table they have
the appearance of rings. The fish,
when taken by day, are lured from the
crevices of the rocks by piece of red
flannel at the end of a bamboo, which
they attempt to grasp, and they are
then speared with a trident At night
an iron cradle with bright fame Of
resinous wood is fixed to the bows of
the boat. This attracts the fish and
leads him to his doom. These fires are
now being entirely superseded by acety-
lene gas, and the catches are so enor-
nous as to threaten the octopus with
destruction.

These events, tol say nothing Of
similar ones that ares happening all
about US, show that theI business
men of the twentieth, century are
trotting at dangerousspace. While
this applies with more or less force
to men in all walks of. business life,
it applies with greater force to men
who are engaged in what is called
the grain trade. There is some
thing in the business Iof buying and
selling of grain at the large grain
centres which constitutes a terrific
strain on the nervous system. Men
in that business take great risks.
They buy or sell Cahead as their
Judgment may dictate, until they
are in such a position that change
of few cents in the market will
either make fortune for them or
cause them to lose everything they
have. The suspense during the
period of waiting and watching is
enough to make a lunatic of one who
has not become accustomed to it,
Outsiders often wonder why men of
ordinary business intelligence will
take such chances. The answer is
that it is business of chance TAX
ing and one who will not take risks
cannot expect to make any money.
Then there is something about the
business which makes one advep-
turesome. The very atmosphere of
the grain mart is surcharged with
the spirit of adventure, for it must
be understood that one makes, if he
makes at all, in proportion to the
risks he takes. The novice in grain
dealing always starts in modestly
and cautiously, but every deal he
makes, particularly if he is reason
ably successful, is larger than the
preceding one, until the modest
novitiate becomes afearless plunger.
But to get back to the subject,
this kind of life keeps ones nerves
strung up to precarious tension.
And this is not all. The average
man in business in the large cities
is amazingly careless or thoughtless
about his health. He gets up in the
morning, eats hurried breakfast,
glances at the moraing paper be-
tween sips Of coffee, and after break
fast rides to his Office in his auto
mobile or carriage. If the carriage
| is out Of order he will take a street

breaches his Office he dives into his
business affairs as though that was
his last day on earth. At noon he
either goes home for luncheon as
fast asshis horses or his automobile
can be driven, or he goes to the
quick lunch counter. Ii at the lat
ter place he selects food which has
been partially masticated by ma
chinery, and the bulk of which has
been reduced to minimum by con-
lcentration. and then he shoves it
down with an energy which be
could scarcely. exceed if he were
putting out fire. Then he returns
to his Office and works in a stified
atmosphere until night when he
again rides home. He eats a hear
ty meal at $50 or Z O'Clock, then
sits down with his paper until bed
time. The day has thus been one
unbroken period OF hurry and wor-
ry, with no physical exercise and
very little fresh air His stomach
soon sets up a woeful cry of indi--
gestion, his joints begin to puff out
with rheumatic govt, his liver gets
torpid and inactive. his heart be-
comes irregular and all the machin-
cry Of his anatomy gets into state
of serious disorder.
1t is not strange, in view of all
this, that the three deaths above
described occurred in such close
proximity. 1t is more strange that
there we're only three. But these
suddensdeaths do not seem to have
any deterrant effect upon those who
witness them. The mad race for
wealth goes on, and the pace accel-
crates rather than retards. II it
continues much longer business
men will be found dead in their car
riages when they reach their homes;
they will be found dead in their.
Office chairs, and we will stumble
over the dead and dying in the halls,
streets and other public places.
And in keeping with the spirit of
the times in this respect, it may be-
come custom of these business
mad people. when they enter res
taurant, to stipulate with the pro-
prietor that in case they die before
the meal is finished they shall only
pay for what they have eaten. The
uncertainties of life among this
class seem to point to such an ar
rangement as thoroughly fitting and
appropriate. w. M. T.

10th, 1864.

The gallant First Minnesota ar
rived home from the south on Thurs
day afternoon. Notwithstanding
a cold and stormy day, the wind
blowing an icy gale, an immense
crowd met them at the foot of Rosa
bel street. The scene there as the
boys met their relatives and old
friends was beyond description.
Besides our ST. Paul people there
we're many from other towns OF the
state. Handshaking, embracing
and kissing was the order of the
time. The procession at once
formed and started for the Athenae-
um. It was over half a mile long
and was led by the volunteer fire.
men. The First carried their
knapsacks and guns, forming pic.
turesque body. Bells were rung,
cannon doomed, and ladies filed
the doors aud windows of nearly
every building on the line of march,
waving flags and handkerchiefs.
The buildings we're handsomely
decorated. The procession was
half hidden by the floating flags and
banners. As they marched into the
Athenaeum through the open ranks
of their escort they we're cheered
long and Justify, drowning the
strains of the Great Western band.
A magnificent banquet was fol-
lowed by speeches delivered by
Mayor Warren, Gov. Miller and
others.
Col. Colville of the First regiment
has been reinstated in command.
He was dropped in consequence of
not reporting for one month, while
in the hospital suffering from
wounds received at Gettysburg.
Upon representations being made
to the department, he was promptly
reinstated.

Color Sensations.

The three primary color sensations
are considered to be red, green and vio-
let Certain mixtures Of violet and
green produce a blue. Red and green
also give a yellow, but 1t Is i'm
portant to observe that these are pri-
mary color sensations and not primary
colors, though the expression lights of
primary colors" is admissible, for 1t Is
commonly imagined that the blue and
yellow mixed In certain proportions
produce various kinds of green. If
yellow and blue pigments be mixed to-
gether with water the green color
produced Is not mixture of blue and
yellow colors. 1t is the one color which
is not freely absorbed either by the
yellow or by the blue pigment. The
yellow pigment removes the greater
part of the blue, indigo and violet rays;
the blue pigment removes the greater
part of the red. orange and yellow.
Thus the light that finally escapes Is
mainly green.-Longman's Magazine.

The long coat for women Is said to
have been introduced by Nine de Pom
padour as the correct" riding coat at
the time when she organized the royal
hunting parties at Versailles. This in
novation, Ike everything decreed BY
the "grande marquise," was scrupu-
lously followed by the ladies Of the
court. No gooner had she set the ex-
ample by wearing this becoming gar
ment than the entire train OF both
king and queen adopted this more prac-
IDEAL form Of dress in preference to the
lowered silks and satins worn hither-
to. In this way Nine. de Pompadour
rendered the sport easier to the ladies
who preferred riding. The coat was
carried out In a bright colored cloth re-
neyed with fancy gaIloon or emoroider-
les. The most effective material how
ever. was velvet In a variety OF beau

was still much In vogue during the

that Irishmen never commit suicide,

in a crowd of that nationality he was

him started a search. When he got to
