the grinding of the wheat for export

by-products in this country.
Capt. J. II. Triggs, aged sixty-three
years, a native of indianapolis, died
suddenly at Duluth from liver com
plant. He had been a resident of
Duluth for twenty years and at one
time was one of the wealthiest citizens.
He amassed a great fortune at the
time of the real estate boom in the
"eighties'' but this subsequently was
largely swept away in the panics
which followed.
Judge J. w. Dewey of Sank Rapids,
one of the pioneers of Benton county,
was stricken with apoplexy at his din
ner table last Saturday. The Judge
is seventy-two years of age and his
recovery is despaired of. He had
been in excellent health and spirits
all day and was laughing and joking
with his family when suddenly he
pitched forward in his chair and was
picked up unconscious. The physician
in attendance said it is doubtful if,
owing to his advanced age, he can re-
cover.

Portrait Buttons.

Portrait buttons for campaign pur-
poses are no new thing Exactly the
same method Of conveying the express
sion Of political admiration was in
force in the days Of Queen Anne At
the time of the famous sermon by DR..
Sacheverell, when party passion reach
ed a high pitch, the custom was origi-
mated of using coat buttons adorned
with caricatures, portraits of the much
discussed doctor and similar decora-
tons. Nor was the fancy confined to
buttons. Gentlemen sealed their letters
with similar designs, and a little later
they were to be found on the backs Of
playing cards and even on women's
fans. DR.. Sacheverell's head, again,
was made use of to ornament tobacco

although 1t Appears White, 1t IL
Really II Delicate Blue
Science, While it gets at the marrow
and essence OF things, upsets many
pretty delusions and fancies. We have
been taught from childhood that snow
is white, and the impression conveyed
to our brains through the medium of
sight appears to settle the question be-
yond the possibility of a doubt, yet,
though the judgment Of our senses is
to the contrary. it can be scientifically
demonstrated that it's true color is blue.
It is a faint and delicate cerulean tint,
to be sure, but decided enough to make
the scientific declaration that snow is
blue one that Is positive and irrefuta-
BILE.
1t is 4 well known fact that pure wa
ter i'll small quantities is perfectly
transparent. In large masses it is dis
tinctly blue. Snow is simply the crys-
tails of pure water. The reflection from
these is that OF all the colors OF the
rainbow or prism, but by uniting be-
fore they reach the eye cause snow to

say. the single crystal also appears to
be white.'' This is true beyond Ques-
ton, the reason being that that which
appears to lie single crystal is in
reality 4 multitude OF microscopic
threads, prisms, lines and dots.
In spite of their apparent great di-
Versity in form and shape. which may
vary from hairlike crystals to perfect
stars Of beautiful, delicate and intri-
cate designs. they may be said to be
absolutely uniform in original delinea-
ton, that OF the heXa gonal prism. The
primitive form is that of a straight
needle of ice, radiating from central
nucleus, always at symmetrical dis
tances and at angles of either 60 or 100
degrees. What may on casual exami-
nation be taken for exceptions to this
rule are the little disks which OCCASION
ally fall. These On close examination
proved to be six sided planes, the angle
still being 12O degrees.

THE CoCoANuT PALM.
Il Plays an Important Part In Life
and In Lazy In CeYlon


When a traveller gets his first sight
of q palm grove he does not easily for
get it. He sees the trees springing up,
as it We're, from the water in which
their shadows are reflected. Besides
being beautiful ornaments to q land
scape these palms are among the most
useful gifts which nature has given to
the inhabitants Of tropical islands. In
supplying actual necessities and in the
number of useful purposes to which it
can be applied bamboo takes first rank,
but the palm comes next. To many of
the people of Ceylon the cocoanut trees
are everything, and their very lives de-
pend upon them. The tree supplies
most Of their wants, besides giving
them valuable commercial products.
In this island there are estimated to
be nearly 100000 palm trees, and
among the poorer classes mans
wealth is estimated by the number Of
trees he owns. They form the most i'm
portant asset Of his estate and by will
are generally divided among his fam
lily. AS one of the important traits of
the Cingalese is his love Of litigation,
one can readily see what an important
part the palm tree plays in the law
cases there. There is a case on record
in which the two thousand five hun
dred and twentieth part of a grove,
containing only ten trees, was the sub
ject of dispute. One of the greatest
difficulties which the engineers had to
encounter in building railroad across
the island was to determine the owner
ship of the palm trees. The ramifica-
lions of relationships and the fraction
al claims set up were most difficult
to understand and disentangle.

A Hint to Smokers.

In an article on the hygiene of smok-
Ing published in the Munich Medical
Weekly by DR.. J. Bamberger he says
the injury that may follow the use of
tobacco differs with the manner of
smoking. Those who use a mouthpiece,
or, if not, are careful not to keep the
end Of the cigar saturated with saliva,
are much less apt to suffer from the
absorption of the various products Of
the burning tobacco. DRY smokers"
run much less risk of harming them
selves than those who chew the ends
of their cigars. DR.. Bamberger sug-
gests that a bit Of absorbent cotton
saturated with chloride of iron be plac-
ed In the holder, and he claims by do
Ing this some Of the harmful products
OF combustion are rendered innocuous.

POLITE TO THE LAST.
A Maid In Whom Courtesy Was n
Ruling Passion.

The Ellen in Samuel Lamar Blanch-
ards excellent but now forgotten book,
"Sketches From Life" had probably
never heard of Emerson's saying,
"Iherc is always time enough for cour-
tesy," but she embodied the great
sage's principle in her daily intercourse
with her fellow beings. Politeness was
ruling passion with her To the fish
ermans boy she would answer, Eyes.
sir: soles. sir. if it is quite convenient -
Mr.. blanchard lodged with Ellen's mis-
tress, and one day the manservant of
a friend brought parcel of books.
The man delivered the books into Ell
lens hands: then, remembering he was
lntrusted with a letter also, he search
eel his pockets in vain for the missive.
Ellen, waiting in the hall, was greatly
distressed.
"Oh, pray, Sir, do not trouble your
self!'
"Trouble myself!' exclaimed the sery-
ant. IF have letter to deliver I've
got to deliver it," And he continued
his search.
I'm sorry to keep you waiting"
broke out the apologize Ellen.
'Why, it is I who am keeping YOU
waiting returned the puzzled servant.
"What are you talking about: Well,
l can't find the letter."
ooh, SIR entreated the maid, never
mind! dare say it doesn't signify.

Mr. Blanchard's landlady was taken
sick, and every day the lodger's in
quiries were answered by the faithful
Ellen in somewhat this wise:

she had very Indifferent night or,
'My missis' compliments sir, and she

One sad day when Ellen appeared
with the breakfast her eyes were red
and her lips quivered. In response to
the usual question she sobbed out:

1t Is a Most Impressive and Dramatic
Ceremony.
"The solemnity of military execu-
ton is about the most impressive and
dramatic act that is known in human
AFFAIRS" said an old army officer.
II had a young friend in California
who enlisted in the Union army at the
same time with myself, and, coming
east, we were placed in the same COM
pany. This young fellow fell in love
with a Virginia girl and under her in
fluence deserted to the enemy. A few
days afterward he was captured and.
being easily recognized, was condemn
ed to be shot. He had fought like a
demon in the engagement which result
ed in his being made prisoner, for he
knew we'll what his fate would be if
taken. His execution was the mos
mournful ceremony I ever witnessed,
and nothing ever seen on the stage
was more theatrical-the procession to
the scene Of death. the band in advance
playing a dirge the coffin, with the
prisoner sitting upon it.; the guard in
the rear and brigade of cavalry form
ed in a hollow square The condemned
man, sitting on his coffin, met his fate
like a hero. without exhibiting a ire
NOR OF fear, and those who witnessed his
death were far more excited than he
1t seemed sad thing that such a cour-
ageous lad should be sacrificed, but it
is one Of the necessities Of war, and
this terrible punishment was necessary
to deter others from playing the role

A Swedish girl just arrived from the
