The Human Nentune.

1t is doubtful If there ever was a
sturdier human Neptune than Captain
Webb, whose memorable exploit in
crossing the English channel will al
ways be remembered. 1t was mere
ill luck-a fatal chance-which tossed
him against a rock in the Whirlpool
rapids Of the Niagara river and ended
his life. Lord Byron was a marvel in
the water. He equaled the feat Of
Leander in propelling himself across
the Hellespont without aid or relief
from any quarter, and before him
beamed no reckoning signals, glances
and smiles from. an incomparably beau
tful Hero. But even Byron never
swan across the English channel. As
the champion Of the silver streak Of
sea- Webb was the wonder of the ages.

Writing In the sand.

. 1t may be news to many persons that
the use of sand for teaching children
to write and form their letters is still
practiced In some Of the small schools
In the rural districts Of the north Of
England. Thousands Of our forefa-

ures with a sharp pointed stick manip-
ulated upon Il smooth stretch Of sand in

Churches ON Bridges.

The custom of building churches on
bridges was common a hundred years
and more ago. Several Of these quaint
old buildings m still left in Europe.
The Chapel of Our Lady still stands on
the bridge which spans the Don at
Rotterdam. The little chapel was built
in the fifteenth century and was re
stored about a hundred years ago. For
several years, however, it has been
used as q tobacco shop.

wire Fire Extinruishers.

In factories where inflammable ma.
terials r made small fires r very
apt to break out, and unless their prog
ress lis at once stopped the results may
be serious. In varnish factories the
fire exunguisher consists Of a mesh Of
very fine wires. Should a jar Of a
nish become ignited, a workman seizes
the net, which is always kept ready at
hand, and pops it over the vessel con
tanning the burning liquid. The wires
conduct off the heat SO quickly that
the flames have no time to spread and
soon die out.

impression is that it would result in a

Then. too, we think there is a great

clover and nutritious grasses crowding

Here water is good and full of mineral
salts of a beneficial character. Here
kpasture nourishes the body and makes
tender, well-aavored meat as well'as
filling the belly. We may confidently
look for prime Scots" beef from such a
country, provided It is stocked with
Galloway cattle of good blood and
heavy coat. They will not get much

plenty OF it elsewhere, and plenty Of

for Newark had been a royal town,
garrisoned for the king and besieged
more than once. Armstrong had in
tended to stay the night there, but the
authorities showed some reluctance in
accepting pass for two as convoy for

Social Science Club Discusses Gov

The meeting of the Social Science
club last evening was not as well at
tended as usual, owing to the several
counter attractions, but an interest
ING discussion was had. The evenings
program was an extra number, consist
ing of debate upon the subject: Ere
solved, that the government should reg
ulate all corporations doing an inter-
state business" The affirmative was
taken by B. G.. Taylor and w. /.
Thomas, and the negative by f. M.
Currier and C. n. Andrews. Other mem
bers of the club also spoke.
The affirmative side referred to the
fact that the United States has retain
ed control of interstate commerce.
While state can create corporations, it
cannot control their interstate business,
and unless the federal government steps
control. The great growth of industrial
trade was referred to, and it was stated
that this necessitated Capitalization of
power, and control by state laws had
proved inadequate.
The other side of the debate claimed
that government control or regulation
would be an infringement upon the
rights of the individual states and an
overcentralization of power in the fed
eral government.
The general discussion tended in favor
of the affirmative side of the question.

His Date, However, Is Fixed for
November 1, 1906.
Impossible to Get Him Here
Before That Time.
So Many Engagements Booked
Is at Dixon Now.

Old Satan had better take to the
woods.
William Sunday, the famous evan
gelist whose powerful logic and elo-
quence creates such an enthusiasm for
the Lord wherever he holds forth, and
whose converts to Christ's teachings
number thousands, has practically been
engaged to hold series of revival meet
ings in this city, beginning Nov. l,
1906. 1t has been impossible to secure
the services of Mr.. Sunday prior to that
date as his time will be fully occupied
until then.
Rev. j. M. Brown of the Methodist
Episcopal church has been CORES
pondence with Mr.. Sunday and the lat
ter has agreed to come here for the
purpose of conducting meetings for a
month or more, the details not having
been fixed upon as yet. The members
of the Mankato Ministerial association
have been consulted with in regard to
the Sunday engagement, and all indorse
the proposition At the next meeting
of the association the matter will be
taken up formally.
Mr.. Sunday is now at Dixon, ILL.,,
where he is talking daily to thousands
of people and bringing the sinners to
a realization of their evil ways. These
meetings are receiving widespread atten-
ton. Last Sunday the Chicago morn
ing papers devoted several columns to
Sunday and his work. Several of these
articles were accompanied by illustra-
tions.
Echoes of Mr.. Sundays Redwood and
Marshall meetings were heard in this
city, and the people here became quite
interested in the man who acquired such
a hold over his hearers wherever he has
conducted meetings. He is man of
fine presence and is possessed of great
deal of magnetism. He is said to be the
equal of the late DR.. Moody, whose
name became a household word, in evan
gelistic work.
Mr.. Sunday has staff of assistants,
singers, clerks, etc., who aid him in car
rving on his meetings. To these as
sistants he pays high salaries and this
is the reason why such large sums of
money must be raised for the evange-
list in each town where he conducts
meetings.
1t is doubtful if there is hall in
Mankato large enough to hold the
crowds that will want to hear Sunday.

SPRING ISLAND PARTY.
Mrs. Sorenson Proves Herself Very
Delightful Hostess.

SSuSuItui tIOStCSSs
Younger members of the Norwegian
Lutheran Synod society, a merry party
of about fifty, spent last evening very
pleasantly with Mrs. Rachel Sorenson
in Spring Island, and were served with
a delicious oyster supper. The party
started in two loads, drawn by a four
horse team, but as the roads were un-
expectedly found to be in very bad
condition, several mishaps occurred.
Some of the young folks, frightened,
jumped to the ground. and arrived at
their destination with very wet feet,
but this seemed to add little more fun
to the jolly occasion.
Mr. Record started for town yester-
day afternoon but got stuck in the snow
opposite the Jones farm. Three oblig-
ing young men came to the rescue, and
pulled him out of the drift, and head
ed for home, none the worse, except for
a. pair of broken whiffletrees.
Mrs. Arthur Mitchell, who has been
critically i'll in the Rochester hospital
since Feb. Ia, is slowly rallying.
Mrs. Sarah Matthews is very i'll with
la grippe, and her daughter, Miss Mat
thews of Lake Crystal, is with her
mother
