Eighty-six letters were received by the
puzzle department this week. Two Of the So
lutions, both dated at Willmar, were not
signed, and one was a solution of the puzzles
of the previous week. Of the eighty-six re-
m aiming. seventy-five had found the right So
lutions. There is one thing that this contest
will develop and that is persistency. Those
contestants who persevere and send in the
complete solutions for all the puzzles will not
regret it even if all can not secure the grand
prize. This weeks prize consisting of copy

"As Gold Is Tried"

1t is only the pure hearts that can
endure unframed the tests and trials
that come in life. A lady picked up
ring on the street and took it to jew
eler to know if it were of any value.
He decided that it was gold, but to
make sure for her he said: Il will put
it in acid. If real, there will be no
change; if imitation, the acid will cor
rode and destroy it," The ring was
dropped in. The lady watched anxious
ly and received back her treasure IN
injured, only purer and brighter for the
testing. In this way our hearts are
sometimes tested in this sinful world.
Pure hearts will stand the test and
come out bright and clear. We ought
often to examine our hearts to see if
they are the pure metal that can so
through this world without being cor
rupted. \ pure heart is an invalua bic
Jewel.

FooIinq the Beers.

During the Boer war Frederick r.
Burnham, 1.-The American scout was
out one day with q patrol on the veldt
when he announced that lie had lost
the trail. He dismounted, says Col
ners, and began moving about on
hands and knees, nosing the ground
like bloodhound, and pointing out a
trail that led back over the way they
had just come. While he was thus en-
ployed the commanding officer rode up.
Don't raise your head. SIR said
Durham to him. ION that kopje to
the right there is a commando Of
Boers''
"When did you see them:" asked the
officer.
II see them now" Burnham an
swered.
"But I thought you were looking for
lost rail.''
"That's what the Beers on the kopje

Oak Lungs.

Modern medicine is slowly but surely
Irving the old fashioned herb doctors
out of the field. How many people are
there, for instance, who use what in
rural England used to be known as the
shepherds cure for consumption and
impurities of the blood, called "oak
lungsy Brewed as tea and sweet
ened with sugar. it is not unpleasant
to drink. Many an old wiseacre has
been heard to declare with shake of
her head that ''oak lungs is a-keeping
me alive. In appearance oak lungs
resembles dry moss and leaves before
being brewed, but it possesses a de-
lightful aroma. 1t is gathered in GER
tain parts Of England, where it grows
at the foot of trees. But it seems to be
losing its reputation as preserver Of
life, for recent inquiry at fifty different
herb shops in London disclosed but one

Warm Gales of Switzerland.

Most people have heard of the Foehn
wind of SwitZerland-that warm, dry
gale which comes over the mountains
and in spring will melt two feet Of
snow in a day. Its cause is most pc
culiar. The Foehn comes from the
south. AS it strikes the Alps it is wet,
like most gales which have crossed the
sea, but the south face of the noun
tains receives it's rains, and as it
crosses the SUBMITS it is dry. The
moving air current is also compressed
and therefore Dramatically heated. AS
it falls into the northern valleys in
cataract of air it gains heat at the rate
Of half degree for every hundred feet
Of descent. 1t usually blows for two
or three days, causing great suffering
by it's dry heat and oppression. While
it lasts the temperature is about 80
degrees above the average. - Chicago

The Ethiopian method Of detecting
crime is quick and effective and has
the great advantage Of always catch
ing some one. A priest is called, and
by his exhortation, prayers, sorceries
and drugs-a' youth is sent to sleep
with the command to dream. The per-
son he dreams of Is the criminal. No
further proof is sought or needed. The
sanction of the church Is quite enough.
If by chance the boy fails to dream he
is promptly put to- sleep again by the
same process until he does, so that he
usually manages the affair in a short
time.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Fort William delivery. The cost OF ffs3She
and handling for wheat strikes all aver.
age of lie per bushel for the whole west.
This means that the average prics to the
farmer for contract whe at all over the
prairie country is exactly 81 per bushel.
The farmers have been looking ior the
day when dollar wheat would lule and
they have it now. Some old wheat is still
coming forward sxom the elevators and
little of last years crop remains In the
hands of the farmers. This nearly all
grades up to the contract, and 1t means
great gain for those who held it. me
new wheat is still grading very hlgh'
when one considers the conditions unoer
which it was produced. Out of 459 cars.
so In two days contained wheat winch
would answer for delivery on contracts.
In other words over 100000 bushels OF
wheat which would bring the farmers an
average of about 81 per bushel, reached
Winnipeg in two days. The significance
of 100000 worth of wheat being passed
by the inspectors in two days at the close
of an admittedly unfavorable season
should not be allowed to sink out or
sight at time when returns from agrl-
cultural activity in the west are being
anXiously awaited. These figures do not
take account of the lower grades, OF
which there were 131 cars More than one
third of these contained milling wheat,
which would remunerate the farmer at
the rate of 93c per bushel on the basis
of to-day's closing figures. The balance
consisted of low grade stuff which would
vary greatly in quality and would show
great Spreads" in prices.

days receipts of wheat, however, would
