MINNESOTA NEWS.
Stole a Lawn.

Daring robberies often puzzle the
Minneapolis police, but few are so mys-
ferrous as the theft of M. Silver's lawn
from his place at 571 Sixth avenue N.
The thieves came in the night with q
wagon, rolled the lawn into bundle
and hauled it away.
Mr.. Silver's lawn has been in an inn
poverished condition all summer and a
few days ago he had the entire surface
peeled and resodded. One morning he
remarked to his friends that with the
continued warm weather it,,would get a
good start before freezing time.
The next morning his hopes were
shattered, for his lawn was gone and
nothing remained but the soft black
loan. Wagon tracks near the curb
told the story. The robbers came
some time between II at night and 5
o'clock in the morning, doing their
work well. No one saw the wagon
come or go. All that remains for Mr..
Silver is to order a new lawn with q
burglar alarm attached

his life and it was only when he was
almost exhausted that he succeeded in
beating off his assailants. He hurried
for help and when he returned eight
cen dead snakes were found, some old
ones with many rattles, but the ma
jority being small Mr.. Lamb said
there must have been hundred rat
tiers in the nest, but no more could be
found of those that remained alive.

THE FRENCH DINNER.
1t Is Not Only a Meal, but nm Enter
tainment as Well.

AaAnAcht rs wen.
Generally speaking, the table OF the
American is provided for the purpose
of feeding; for the Frenchman it is for
the purpose Of refreshment, says Flora
Mcdonald Thompson in Harper's Ba-
Ear.
1T must nourish-yes,. but of equal
necessity it must please, please the
mind also as the body-and there must
be provided, too, diversion and repose.
Thus is cooking an art with the French
people, and a meal whether Of the rich
man or Of the poor peasant, is one Of
his finest ceremonies. The employees
Of Paris business houses are allowed
from one to two hours for the midday
meal, and it is an unwritten law Of the
French household that the servants
shall have at least an hour for de-
jeuner and for dinner alike, during
which time they are not to be called,
except for grave reason, but are left
free to seat themselves at table in the
kitchen, where, even in very humble
Kitchens they tuck their napkins under
their chins and laugh and talk while
eating and drinking, so enjoying a de-
gree of leisure nearly unknown among
all classes of Americans
''As a rule, the Paris business man
takes his midday meal in the bosom Of
his family. This is deemed such an
| important feature of domestic econ
| omy that the whole scheme of living is
| adjusted to that end; and one finds
families Of wealth and social distinc-
ton housed throughout the business
sections in order thus to make it pos
sible that tie hour or two allotted to
dejeuner may be spent by the man in
his home"

The stormiest Region Known.

The waters of Cape Horn have never
been unvisited by storms for more
than a week or two at q stretch with
In the memory Of man. Standing on
the outpost Of the world, Cape Horn
is the meeting place Of ocean currents
of very different temperatures, from
the icy cold waters Of the antarctic
drift to the warmth of the Brazilian
and Peruvian return currents. The
prevailing winds are from the north
west and west, and these, coming from
the warm regions of the Pacific, con-
dense into fogs which the sailors call
"Cape Horn blankets" and which are
the sure forerunners Of storms. The
extremely low levels to which the
glaciers of TERRA del Fuego descend,
the perpetual congelation Of the sub
soil, the meeting Of conflicting winds
of very different temperatures, are all
direct or indirect causes combining to
make this the most constantly stormy
region Of the world.
