uIGHTENs THEIR LABoRs.
Firm Of Cigar Manufacturers Enter

Music.

A modern philosopher has ex.
pressed his approval of the man
who sings at his work, says Cas-.
SELLS Journal.
A recognition Of the fact that
work is improved by being per-
formed under cheerful conditions
has led a certain firm of American
cigar manufacturers to entertain
their employees with music.
Every day a performer on the
guitar ATTENDS al the factory, and
plays and sings to the operatives.
The musician sits in a chair and
thrums out the popular melodies
OF the day, thus putting the work.
ers in the best of spirits.
AS the factory is a large one, the
troubadour shifts his position
from time to time, so that all the
workers shall have the benefit of
his music.
Some of the cigarmakers are of
Spanish blood, and at times it
happens that they become 80 en-.
crossed in the music az to cease
their work. When this occurs the
minstrel promptly recalls them
to their duties by moving on"
The proprietors find the little
innovation entirely beneficial, for
it prevents the sullenness and dis.
content that proceed from close
confinement and monotonous
work.

Speakers frequently arrive late,
and are usually unacquainted with
the names of the different local

of which was recently made in
New York city by a noted speaker
from the west, says Woman's
Home Companion. He had under.
stood that it would be safe to at
tack the character and standing
of a certain opposing candidate;
but he got the names mixed, and
began giving his own party's can
didate, whose name was Brown,
particular fits.
"Why, this man Brown" said
he, "does not belong in an intelli-
gent community like this he is the
least representative of all the citi-
zens of this locality; he" AT this
point the chairman informed him
that Brown was their man, where,
upon the speaker continued,
"That, ladies and gentlemen, is
what his enemies say about him.
But let me tell you the sort ofman
he really is" Then he proceeded
to make him out too good for a
citizen of this old wabbly globe.

Benefits from Volcanic Erupuons.

~~o AAo" SOACo1AA0 AEUpt1O0S.
1t appears that the volcanic
eruptions which devastated Qua.
temala last year were really
blessings in disguise. The coffee
fincas, or plantations, suffered
severely, and SO gloomy was the
outlook that many planters aban.
doned their ash-covered acres and
considered themselves ruined.
AS it happened, the eruptions
were followd by heavy and long
continued rains, which washed
away a large proportion of the
ashes and Incorporated the rest of
them with the soil. In the result
the mixture proved of great ben
eft to the coffee trees and the new
crop is said to be as large again as
last years. Now the planters
who did not get their share of
volcanic dust are lamenting their
plight and looking forward to
more eruptions as soon as may be.

PINEAPPLE FOR DIGESTION.
Juice Of This Fruit May Take Place
Of Pepsin in Relieving stom-
ach Of Duties.

Pineapple juice bids fair to take
the place of pepsin as an encour
ager of digestion. Recent investi-
cations have shown that for such
a purpose it is wonderfully ef1ica-
cious, rivaling if it does not excel
the product of poor piggy.
If a piece of ordinary beefsteak
be placed in a bowl of pineapple
juice, it is found, after a few
hours, to be reduced to a lump of
mere jelly, having undergone u
process of digestion. In the same
way the juice, when drank, acts
upon the food in the stomach, and
is capable, it is authoritatively
said, Of digesting something like
a thousand times it's own weight
of edible substances.
Now, the reason back of these
facts is that the juice of the pine
apple contains an "enzym," a spe-
cies Of ferment, which attacks the
beefsteak or other food and disor.
ganizes it. 1t is such an extreme.
ly powerful ferment that, acting
much in the same way as pepsin, it
will, in the course of a few hours.
cause the substance upon which
it works to dissolve and melt
away. The name "bromelin" has
been given to it by science.
1t is extremely easy to separate
the digestive principle from the
pineapple juice. All you have to
do is to take some of the juice and
dissolve a tablespoonful or SO of
common table salt in it. This
will cause the digestive stuff
to fall to the bottom of the
receptacle, when it may be
easily separated. A good
sized pineapple will contain more
than a pint of juice-a quantity
which is amply sufficient to help
in the digestion of half a dozen
hearty meals.
How powerful it is may be
judged from the fact that a single
slice of the fruit laid upon a raw
beefsteak, will, in a very short
time, change the consistency of
the surface to that of a jelly. But
it should be realized that cooking
destroys the "enzym," and that
the only way to get the benefit of
the digestive ferment is to eat the
pineapple in it's natural state.

Historical Sketch OF the Metropolis Of Steele Co.

Hope, the metropolis of Steele
county, was laid out as a village
in February 1882, and is the old
est town in the county. From the
beginning--it has been up-to-date
and progressive and it's citizens
have always been liberal and
public spirited. The town has
grown from a frontier hamlet to
a thriving little city built up with
substantial business blocks and
beautiful dwellings equal to east
ern cities of many times it's age.
Besides its many business estab-
lishments representing almost all
lines of business, Hope has one
of the best Touring mills in the
state, a fine state high school,
splendid church structures, Com
mercial Club, Women's Club and
secret societies representing all
of the leading orders.
The country surrounding Hope
is wonderously productive and
its farmers are prosperous, con-
tented and happy. All small
grains are grown in abundance
and in later years corn has been
profitabily cultivated. No place
is more suited to the home seeker
with small means than is this
section of the state where crop

over which the logs were to be
