FOUGHT Insane Man.

Minneapolis.-Dr. I. w. Rigs of
Aurora, S. D., caused panic in the
Ryan hotel by running through the
corridors with razor in one hand
and a water pitcher in the other,
while blood oozed from a wound on
the right side of his neck. Employees
of the hotel were called by the
frightened guests, but the frenzied
physician held the colored porters at
bay by threatening them with the
razor.
The police were notified and Off
GERS Casserley, Mcclure and Morse
were dispatched to the hotel by Ser
geant Mattocks. The presence Of the
armed policemen seemed to enrage
the man, and whenever they made
an attempt to seize him he would
place the razor to his neck and then
make lunge at the officers.
Finally, after the policemen had
watched the man closely, he glazing
wildly at them, Officer Casserly hit
on an idea that won victory for the
policemen.
Casserley seized chair, and when
Rigs lowered the razor from his head
Casserley thrust the chair into the
doctors face and backed him into a
corner. AS quick as flash the
other officers jumped on the insane
man.

Normal Schools


st. Cloud.-County normal schools
for those counties large enough to
support them is the solution offered
to the present crowded condition of
the state normal schools by ]. w.
Olsen, state superintendent. The st.
Cloud normal school is overcrowded
and the others are nearly filled to
their capacity. But not all Of the
teachers of the state are normal grad
yates and many cannot attend be-
cause of the distance from the school.
Supt. Olsens suggestion is to take
q portion of the school to the vicin-
ity of the pupils by having school
In the county, where limited course
may be offered, sufficient to raise the
standard of instruction. He suggests
that this course be given in the
same school as may be established
for the county agricultural schools
authorized by the last legislature.

Convicted.


Gen. c. c. Andrews, state forestry
commissioner, received word from c.
]. Dodge, county attorney of Carl
ton county, of the conviction Of Jack
Tischart at Carlton on charge Of
negligence in setting a forest fire
that endangered the village of Wren
shall. Tischart was sentenced to pay
q fine of $50. In default of payment
he was committed to the county Jail.
Tischart was employed by the con-
tractor building the new line of the
500 road which is headed for Du-
luth. He was at work clearing up
the right-of-way and started the fire
to burn up some of the slashings and
debris which had accumulated on the

control and started confagration
which, for a while, threatened to
wipe out Wreushall.

what do you think she said when she
finished? She said: "You needn't have

To Drive Away Rats.

done this for years and have never
been bothered with rats or mice.

The Lady In the Moon.

An amateur astronomer. writes Of the
"lady In the NOON" 1T is very beau
tiful face seen in profile and uplifted,
as though in proud disdain Of things
terrestrial. The curve Of the throat is
exquisite, and indeed the entire outline
Is marvelously lifelike. The moon
lady may best be observed through a
small opera glass when our satellite Is
at half. At that time the tip Of the
chin about touches the terminator--
that is, the dividing line between the
light and dark portions Of the lunar
surface. Most people can recognize
the man In the moon. Well, the hair
Of the lady, in which can always fan
cy I see spray of orange blossom,
forms the mans left eye, the nose and
mouth his nose, and the chin and
throat the mans mouth"

ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Difference Between Instinct and
Reasoning Power.

The Difference Between Instinct and
Reasoning Power.
Most animals have little self con-
sciousness, and their reasoning powers
Mt best are Of low order, but in kind
Mt least the powers are not different
from reason in man. A horse reaches
over the fence to be company to an
other. This is instinct. When 1t let's
down the bars with its teeth, that is
reason. When a dog finds its way
home at night by the sense of smell,
this may be instinct; when he drags a
stranger to his wounded master, that
Is reason. When a jack rabbit leaps
over bush to escape a dog or runs in
circle before coyote, or when it
lies fat In the grass as a round ball Of
gray, indistinguishable from grass,
this is instinct. But the same animal
is capable of reason-that is, Of dis
tinct choice among lines Of action. Not
long ago rabbit came bounding across
the university campus at Palo Alto.
As 1t passed corner it suddenly faced
two hunting dogs running side by side
toward it. 1t had the choice Of turn
ing back, its first instinct but dam
gerous one; of leaping over the dogs
or of lying on the ground. It chose
none of these, and its choice was in
Simultaneous. 1t ceased leaping, ran
low and went between the dogs just
as they were in the act Of Selling 1t,
and the surprise Of the dogs as they
stopped and tried to hurry around was
the same feeling that man would
have in like circumstances volu-
ton and Animal Life"

Flowers That Possess Eyes, Though
They May Not See.
The night hath a thousand eyes, but
a nasturtium leaf has more. Holding
up his hand in front Of desert shrub,
an experimental has taken a micro
photograph showing half dozen dis
tinct images of his fingers formed by
the eyes Of the plant Many common
garden and wild fowers-the nastur-
tium, begonia, clover, wood sorrel and
bluebell among others-possess eyes
situated on their leaves. They are mi
mute protuberances filed with trans
parent gummy matter which focuses
the rays of light on to sensitive patch
Of tissue at the back OF it in similar
manner to that in which the eyes Of an
animal do their work. A common mas
turtium plant has thousands of such
eyelets on it's leaves, forming thou
sands Of minute images of the objects
around them. But, though plant may
have eyes, it does not follow that it
sees. 1t is not yet known If the sense
Impressions are telegraphed to some
central nerve exchange corresponding
to the brain Of the animal In addition
to these light sense organs many plants
possess touch Of sensitiveness and a
response to electric stimuli that show

CHINESE FOOTBALL.
It Is More Like Prolonged Riot Than
a Pastinne.

II Is More Like Prolonged Riot Than
Pastine.
1.-THE first game of football I wit
messed upon my arrival in China" one
Of our consular representatives at home
for visit remarked recently, 81 mis-
took for very serious riot, and you
wouldn't have blamed me either.
'sIn the first place, I was not aware
that the Chinese had any such game,
but later found that it is very popular
in north China. 1t is not played as is
the American game, and instead Of
eleven players to the side there are If
ty. These northern Chinese are almost
giants, and every man on the team will
be six feet or over in height and weigh
on the average 200 pounds. There are
no goals, side lines or halves. The
game lasts until one side is the winner,
and frequently this is not accomplished
before two or three days.
1.-THE idea Of the game Is to force a
small wicker basket which takes the
place Of our ball, into the territory Of
the other side-this territory being one
half Of the town-and up and down the
streets the fight RACES. Each man is
equipped with whistle with which to
summon assistance when too hard
pressed.
Stealth as well as main force may
be used in getting the BALI into the
enemy's country, and l know of one
clever play" who did so by passing
over the roofs of the houses. AS you
may imagine, a hundred giants yell
ing and fighting in the streets create
some excitement" -Harper's Weekly.
