Sergeant Saver once went the cir.

vented by indisposition going in hi;

enough to move as counsel for

by himself on the ground of hi:
misdirccting the jury as judge. Lore
Mansfield said, Brother Sayer
there is an act of parliament which
in such a matter as was before you
gave YOU discretion to act as you

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
The Dish of Nuts Is a Clever Trick to
Play at a Party.


Try this trick when you have
some friends dine with you:
\ boy, Tom by name, tried it, and
his friends thought him very cley-
er. Just when dinner was nearly
over Bridget quietly announced that
the grocer must have forgotten to
bring the nuts and raisins. The
company we're all more or less dis
appointed. But Tom, the host,
seemed very angry at this omission.
Impatiently he said 10 Bridget,
Fetch me the dish in which the
nuts and raisins should have been
served"
Pretending to be very much an
moved, he iiourished his own napkin
vigorously over the empty dish.
Then carefully lifting the napkin,
much to the surprise of all, the dish
was revealed full of nuts and raisins.
This is how Tom managed the
trick: lie had got Bridget to sew
two napkins together all around the
edges and to slit one across the mid
die. The space between the nap
kins made a bag, into which Tom
had slipped the nuts and raisins.
He held the bag between his knees,
with another napkin over his lap.
While he was gesticulating in ap-
parent disappointment, he had
quickly changed napkins. The trick
was clever bit Of homemade sleight
of hand, and all shouted at Toms
cleyprness

Several curious remedies have been
suggested for a settlement of the union
trouble on the'Scandinavian peninsula.
Here is sample: Let the king live
one year in Sweden and one year in
Norway. When he resides in Norway
the Norwegian minister of state shall
act as minister of foreign affairs for
the two countries, and when he re-
sides in Sweden the Swedish minister
shall do the same The most curious
part of this plan is that children born
of royal blood in Sweden shall be
Swedish princes or princesses, and
those born in Norway shall be Norwe-
gian princes and princesses BY this
arrangement the ruler would some
times happen to be = Norwegian and
sometimes a Swede. The beauty of
this scheme must be sought in the fact
that its greatness makes all parties
laugh in spite of the seriousness 0; the
situation.
Navigation was opened April Is on

The municipal court of Sundsvall
ordered Captain Palmqvist, of the Sal

of the scism in the army.
General Axel Rape, the head of the
general staff, has reported to the min
lister Of war that he cannot find suffi-
cient strategical reasons for. trans

Representatives from sixteen yacht
clubs held a meeting in Stockholm and

spelling came to England by way Of

Flowing by Steam.

Crookston- the arrival OF q
carload of improved steam pillow ma
chinery, including wide-tire traction
engines of improved design and great
power, movement has been started
in the Minnesota Red river valley
which will, in time, disturb the useful
mesa of the horse as means of turning
over the virgin sod
Heretofore farmers have been skep-
tical of the value of steam power as an
agent for blowing, but recent tests
have turned out so satisfactory and
the saving over old methods has been
so apparent that they understand the
benefit which is derived from the steam
system, both from a monetary stand
point and the quality OF the work
dop4
The steam plow outfit which reached
here consists of thirty i've horsepower
engines with tires nearly three feet
wide. The wide tires are made neces-
sary because of the unstable character
of the field, which would almost bury
an engine of the ordinary type The
pillow proper contains sixteen 1e-inch
shares and at each trip across two
mile field six acres of ground is turned
over. The two-mile stretches can be
covered by the machine in an hour
making the result for the days work
of twelve hours IA acres, or three
weeks work for one man with team.

st. Paul. Reports received by the
state board of health indicate that
there are 10000 to 10000 pupils in the
public schools of Minnesota who have
defective eyesight, and that less than
10 per cent of these wear glasses or are
taking any treatment to improve their
eyesight-
This condition is all the more re-
markable when it is known that ow-
ing to the nature of the test applied
oy the teachers, only the more serious
defects are discovered. 1t the pupils
eyes were examined by oculists the
number showing defective cycsight, it
is believed, would be much larger
The reports received by the state
board OF health show that 10 to Is per
cent Of the pupils examined have de-
tective sight. In many cities the per-
centage is much greater. For in
stance, in the public school at Tower,
of 200 pupils examined, So had defect

No mining leases to operate in

the absence Of authority from the leg
islature the state auditor will issue no
such leases.
Scores of applications for leases COW
crlng the beds of most of the lakes in

been filed with the state auditor. Two
years ago he issued prospecting leases
