was not versed In the intricacies of
land deals, but decided to investigate,
and contract was entered into March
8, 1903, by which the store was ex-
changed for 1,24Q acres of Minnesota

HIS FIRST WATERSPOUT.
Green Sailor Boy Wanted to See One, . and He Was Quickly Ac-
 commodated.

A waterspout is one of the first things a green sailor boy wants to see. 1 He has read about it as one of the wonders of the sea. and it rouses his keenest curi- osity. He gets the old sailors to promise to call him when one is sighted. They promise, winking stealthily at each oth- CT, relates an exchange.
 The ship gets down into tropical wa ters, and the boy is told that a water spout may come along almost at any time. 7f'' 'o'9a ID
 One night he is awakened suddenly. An old sailor shakes him.
 Come on! Hurry up, young feller; there's a waterspout on the starboard bow bearing right down on us."
 The boy hastens up the companions way without waiting to dress, and as he darts out on deck he is thrown down by a mass of water descending on him like a wet mountain. He struggles to his feet, gasping, sputtering: Hsd-osG l'
 "Wa-a-s that-t wa-a-a-ter spout?"
 The sailors are around him roaring. Then he looks up above the companion way and sees an empty hogshead. Having seen and felt the waterspout, he descends to his bunk, wipes himself dry and turns in. Next time waterspouts in great num- bers may be reported on both bows, but he will have no particular desire to ob- serve them.

CURIOUS WORMS OF NORWAY
They Gather in Great Numbers Form ing serpent-Like Mass
 When Migrating.

The Sciaras, of the genus Tiplux a tiny wormlike creature which is. found in the forests of Norway and Hungary dur ing the month of July or early in August, gather in huge numbers preparatory to migrating in search of food or for 8 change of conditions. When setting out on this journey, says Nature, they stick themselves together by means of some glutinous matter, and form huge ser pentlike mass, often reaching length of between 40 and 50 feet and several inches in thickness. As the scaria is only on an average of about three-thir- ty-seconds of an inch in length with no appreciable breadth whatever, the num- Der required to form continuous line of the size above mentioned is incal- culable.
 Their pace is, of course, very slow, and upon meeting an obstacle, such as a stick or stone, they either writhe over or around it, sometimes breaking into two bodies for the purpose. A celebrated French naturalist says that if the rear portion of this snakelike procession be brought into contact with the front part the insects will keep moving round in that circle for hours, never seeming to realize that they are getting no further on their journey. If the portions be broken in two the procession will unite in short time. When the peasant meets one of these processions he will lay some obstacle in front of It. If it passes over it it is good omen.

The Leopard of the Shows.

When we look at the leopards in a menagerie our minds instinctively turn to pictures of the hot tropics and the tor rid lands of the equator. But there are leopards that love the snow. and never willingly descend below the levels where snowstorms occur in summer as well as in winter. The New York Zoo logical park possesses, at present, a beautiful specimen of the "snow leop- ard" whose home is among the lofty mountains about Thibet. Thousands of tanned skins of the snow leopard are carried to Shanghai for sale, but the iiv- ing animal is rarely seen away from his cool mountain home.-Youth's s Compan- Ion.

THE OLD-FASHIONED BATH.
An Invigorating Indulgence Espe- cially Beneficial to Persons
 Who Are Ailing. r&

An 1880 bath is the very latest thing It is bath made of sweet scented water in which there is enough acid to be ,inyigorating It is bath of a previous generation and it is one which every athlete of the present day should try, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
 To make an 1880 bath take tub of hot water and pour into it quart of bath vinegar if one can afford 1t. If gance, then take pint. If this is too much at least pour in few table spoonfuls.
 A bath in bath vinegar is good for the muscles. It drives away rheuma- tism, it cures neuralgia, it is just the thing for stiff neck, and it takes the ache out of tired bones. % gH~ Nr
 A rose geranium bath is recom- mended to those who have neuralgia and sharp aches and pains. There is something very soothing about the odOr of rose geranium. It lulls the senses as not even violets can do.
 The aromatic bath, partly ammonia, is liked by those who feel faint and is the bath of baths for the woman with a weak heart. Let the woman whose heart does not beat we'll practice walk ing. Let her take the walking exer- cises vigorously. Then let her take bath in aromatic vinegar and let her finally steep her nose in bottle If the vinegar, and while she is dressing let a saucer of it stand in the room This is the best way to get the full scent of the vinegar and the best results from it.
 Camphorated baths are much too powerful for any but the sick. The person who has sprains or bruises can take a mild camphorated bath, but it is not a pleasant bath nor one which can be recommended for daily use Taken all in all there is nothing quite as pleasant as the rose geranium bath nor one that is cheaper. A great bot tie, half a gallon, of the scent can be made for dollar and this will las! a long time.
