Must Pension rhsms .Iv.s.

Domestic servants In Germany come
under the law that obliges all persons
below q certain Income to provide for
their old age. The postofiice issues
cards and stamps. and one Of these
stamps must be dated and ahxed to
the card every Monday. Sometimes
the employers buy the cards and stamps
and show them at the postonice each
month. Sometimes they expect the
servant to pay half the money re-
quired. Women who go out by the day
get their stamps at the house they
work in on Mondays. II a girl marries

equally pretty coverlet made Of the

These butterfly bedclothes are often
arranged with an intricacy that il quite
curious and perplexing Sometimes

cate hair stands upright, thus giving
the entire nest the appearance Of lit

the eggs are laid spirally round tiny

their course. the effect resembles the
bushy tail Of a fox. only the nest II

The building Of this downy nest is the
latest earthly labor Of the mother but

her own delicate body is denuded Of its
natural covering and there Is nothing
left for her to do but die. a sacrifice
which she promptly and heroically

Uncle Toms Cabin.

An Uncle Toms Cabin Company
without the customary adjuncts
a blaring brass band, ponies, donk-
eys, and other features is to say
the least novelty, but when one
comes to consider that reputable
actor will not condescend to parade
the streets in all sorts of weather,
it can readily be seen that COM
pany that employs only actors and
actresses that are engaged solely to
appear in the theater, the perform
ance must show a decided improve
ment over the old time representa-
ton of the play. Mason Bros. this
season are using only a concert
band on the street. giving daily
concerts at noon and have engaged
the strongest acting company ever
seen in this, the greatest of all
American plays. The public has
evinced it's appreciation of this de-
parture by filling the theaters
nightly.

IRRIGATED LANDS
Chance TO Make Big Money Open
TO Willmar Parties.

John F. Mossberg expects to
leave for Orchard, Colo, on the 9TH
of May. He has succeeded in in
teresting a few in the irrigation
lands and expects to have quite a
party accompany him to go out and
view the proposition. The offer
that M. W. Spicer is making to his
Willmar friends should appeal to
anyone who has money to invest.
He is offering the best of irrigated
land with water rights at prices
averaging SIS an acre. Anyone at
all conversant with the value of ir-
rigated lands will understand that
this is very low price. Anyone
who wishes to investigate can salts
fly himself by disinterested testi-
mony that these lands are as good
as any among the Platte valley ir-
rigated ranches. The ditch which
waters this carries early priori-
ties and all the land is lower than
the water from the ditch. All the
land lies within short distance
from the station. The land at the
price stated is sure to yield hand
some return to the investor. See
Mr.. Mossberg for further informa-
tiOn.

The Miqht of the Small.

Inc wight OF the Small.
The application of few drops of oil
is often the secret of an enormous
piece of machinery doing its work
smoothly and well, the work accom-
plished being out of all proportion to
the quantity Of lubricant used. On the
other hand, little grit may effectually
stop the machine. Little things may
serve therefore either to retard or to
accelerate highly important processes.
We know what infinitesimally small
quantities of certain substances will
put an end to the great vital processes,
and we know also how endless ap-
pears to be the action of the engines
or ferments which render food assim-
liable so that the same vital processes
are sustained. A thirtieth part of a
grain of aconitine will kill the human
organism, one part Of an engine will
transform 100000 parts of can sugar
into 1nvert sugar, the engine of malt
will convert a thousand times it's
weight of starch into sugar, etc. Such
effects are impressive. and they are
calculated to impress us still more
when we contemplate the number Of
processes going on in the human ma
chine which are dependent upon the
action of small things.
