German Thrift.

AS soon as the baby daughter of a
German farmer can run alone she is
provided with a stout linen bag marked
with her name. 1t is intended as tho
receptacle of all the feathers she can
pick up. Every bit of down is a treasure
to her, and the sooner the bag is filed
the more praise she receives. When the
bag is quite full it is emptied into a
large one hanging in the garnet, and tie
feathers collected there are made into
pillow beds. quilts, etc.-Washangton

SPEED OF VARIOUS ANIMALS
European Engineer Gives Surprising
Results of Extensive OBJ
servation.

For Is years Joseph OlShausen, a Eu-
ropean engineer, has been studying the
speeds of many kinds of animals. Man
reaches remarkable velocities, but only
bv artificial aids, a good pedestrians
rate being a sixteenth of a mile in IL
seconds. while a German soldier marches
three miles an hour and five miles quick
step. The greatest speed of an athlete
thus far noted is the initial velocity OF
1893 inches a second Of a broad jumper.
The average swimmers rate is 80
inches a second, the oarsman's In an
e~ight-oared barge is 1877 inches and the
skaters is nine to ten yards, while the
runner on skids has made "a yards a sec
ond and the jumper on skids has reached
almost 40 yards. The record on a BIZ
cycle is sc yards a second. The horse
makes long gallops at six miles an hour
the fastest dog-the Russian wolf hound
shows rs feet a second and the gazelle
attains 80 feet a second.
Aided by wings the ostrich is the fast
est runner, sometimes making SO feet
a second. In measured flights the Vir-
ginia rainpiper has a record of $500
yards a minute and the European swai-
low has excesded 5000 yards. The
slowest creatures are snails and certain
small beetles, a healthy snail's highest
speed being 5h inches an hour.
For fractions of a second certain
small creatures have almost incredible
speeds. a mouse of the-African descTip-
ton jumping ten feet at the rate of 500
feet a second. while the common flea
jumps with the initial velocity,of S5G
feet, or ten n1iles a minute.

holder and officer of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & DAYTON opposed the lease
and purchase Of the Chicago, Cincinnati
& Louisville by the Cincinnati, Hamil-

QUESTION of the Chicago, Cincinnati &
louisville because I did not believe it
to be a rightful contract and the &C.
ouisition for the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton, and I am still Of the same
opinion.
"There is positively and absolutely
no truth in any Of the statements made
: to the effect that there was a stormy
conference between J. P. Morgan and
myself. The facts are that I did not
have any conference with Mr.. Morgan
before the purchase of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton by him, nor after
it was turned back to him again by the
Erie. I have received all my money
for the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton

from beginning to end was square and
above board, and the full records of the

In order to arrange for better facili-

anticipated for this great annual event
and on account of the inability Of the
builders to complete the magnificent
new amphi-theatre on time, it has been
found necessary to postpone the EX-

toned. All of the events avertised will
be held on the days of the week CORE
spending to the dates arranged for the
previous week. All preparations are
being made to make the event one long
to be remembered. The change in the
date will bring it at a season of the
year when it will no doubt be more
convenient for larger number TO at.

NEW ULM STONE IS BEING TESTED
Sleepy Eye Viii! Use Crushed Stone
to Improve Streets.

The city council of Sleepy Eye is
making q test Of the New Ulm crushed
stone on part of the Main street, and
if the material proves satisfactory Will
have their principal streets improved
with a covering of rock.
1t has been a puzzle to the council
for some time to get material to i'm
prove their streets, as there is no gravel
nearby which would necessitate it be-
ing brought in from long distance
making it very expensive, but with the
New Ulm Stone Co. it seems that the
problem has been solved. The Dispatch
says:
The question of improving the streets
without the expenditure of a large sum
OF money is one that has occupied the
attention of Sleepy Eye people for
some time past. The condition of the
main streets here during the spring
aod fall months is far from satisfact-
DRY to the people of the city or people
| from ullS COullui VIII VI duouCu ouo1'
ness here, but the city has not been ir
shape to assume the cost Of the needed
Improvement. 1t may be found, how
ever, that the crushed stone will i'm
prove the streets at cost that the city
can stand.
The material used in the test on Eas
Main street is crushed granite, which
was furnished free of charge to the cit,
by the New Ulm Stone company. Thi
! company, under the able management
of Wesley G. Miller, the we'll know
former county register of deeds, is de
veloping a successful trade in the pro
duct of it's quarries and is shippin!
large quantities of stone to Mime
apolis, ST. Paul and other large cite
for use in paving streets. The crushe
granite, mixed with limestone and lai
on a base of coarse rock and rolle'
makes an excellent pavement. Thi
process, of course, is about as cost
as any other kind Of pavement, bu
Sleepy Eye may be able to make use. c
this material and improve the street
by less expensive process.
