Section - The. State Board of
Control of the State of Minnesota is
hereby authorized and directed to

OLD VILLAGE LOOKUP.
Quaint Structure for Confinement of
Rogues and Vasabonds.

hogueS ana Va9aponoS.
Several villages in the Midlands
possess in more or less ruined state
their old parish lockups, commonly
known as round houses.
Breedon, a Leicestershire village,
close to the South Derbyshire border.
possesses its lookup a quaint stone
building eighteen feet high and eight
feet six inches diameter inside. The
walls are fifteen inches thick. The
door is of stout oak, studded with
many large iron nails.
The lock is very strong and the
keyhole is covered with an iron plate,
which itself has to be unlocked by a
spanner before the door key can be
inserted. Ventilation Is afforded by
small holes punched in an iron plate,
six inches by seven, fixed in the cen
ter of the door. There is no window.
At Worthington, the next village
to Breedon, the old lookup is a seven
sided brick building, h"dly in need Of
restoration, an opportunity for archae-
ologists which it is hoped will not be
missed. Both at Breedon and Worth

ons are on the roadside, adjacent to
the pound or pinfold, so that the cons
table had conveniently side by side

There are similar old lockups at

NEW YORRS GREAT MARKET.
Where $95, 100000 Worth of Provisions
Are Sold Annually.

Down along the docks of the North
river between these and Hudson street
for blocks is region of hustle and of
traffic congestion, of big establishments
and sidewalks piled with packages ard
eases and crates of all kinds. This region
is the realm Of the produce men.
Street after street, every spot Is de-
voted to the one business and the strange
visitor would imagine this was some
world emporium making ready to ship
to every corner of the earth. 1t is ship
ping, but chiefly for the purpose of dis
tributng consignments to the many sec
tons of the great metropolis itself.
Down here all is strict business, ac-
cording to Alcolm, and one does not inn
bibe any atmosphere of the clover field
or the poultry yard, nor does one have
time to dcScant on the worth OF the
business hen or beauteous kline. What
one hears about here is leases of iirsts,
packages of prime" etc.
For here as indicated are handled the
country's most precious, for most per-
ishabe dairy and poultry products from
day to day. In year there pass through
the hands of the merchants S95,OoO,-
600 worth of these products-$5,OO O,-
of butter. 25,0O0.000 worth of eggs and
$31 100000 worth Of poultry.
New York consumes 100000 cases
of eggs alone-each case containing thirty
dozen eggs. The average price of these
eggs is for the year 23 cents n dozen.
OF this number there may be from 600,-
600 to 100000 of refrigerator eggs,
which are stored for distribution to the
retailers and sold to the consumers
through the regular channels.
In the height of the season the re-
ceipts may sometimes be as high as 49,
600 cases or more i'll single day, the
prices fluctuating according to the con-
dition of supply and demand as well rs
Of the eggs themselves; the range i'll
prices during the year being from per
sale.
The high prices occur during the late
fall and winter when production is or
dinarily at its lowest point; but during
February and early March, according
to weather conditions, the supply jumps
and prices relax to the great relief of
the thrifty housewives of Manhattan
and the horoughs.

EXPLORATION IN ARIZONA.
Work by Scientists Connected with the
Smithsonian Institution.

Scientists of the Smithsonian institute
at Washington are eXcavating, restoring
and placing on exhibition, down on the
desert plains of Arizona, the homes of a
prehistoric people who lived there once
upon time. says the Detroit News
Tribune. An attempt will be made to
show how an empire of people lived, ir-
rigating their lands centuries ago, much
as our government is doing today.
Something like an American Pompeii
is destined to result from the excava-
tons and reservations. 1t is thought
that. in the annals of race that has
disappeared, buildings like the Casa
Grande were the stronCholds of stubborn
chiefs. who held out for perhaps hun
dreds of years after their followers had
persisted At the hands of conquerors. 1t
seems to he definitely established that
the Pima Indians are the descendants
of this ancient people.
Great quantities of pottery have been
unearthed in the Casa Grande includ-
ing water vessels much like those in
use among the Pima tribe of today. The
Pima living in the vicinity of the ruins
have legends of great chief who dwelt
at the Casa Grande with his two daugh-
ters. The stories handed down tell how
the mountain tribes of Indians descend
ed upon the people of the valley, and
after a struggle lasting scores of years
eventually suhdued them.
The Casa Grande is supposed TO be
the last stronghold to fall TO the invad-
ing red men.

SOLID WOOD BLOSSOM.
Peculiar Flower Found on Trees Growing
in Crevasses of Mount Aqua.


in CrevasSeS of Mount Aqua.
Through the gift of Il friend who Wis
tied the remote region where it grows
Herman Silver of Los Angeles has come
into the possession of a specimen of the
strangest and rarest flower known to
scientists.
1t is the Rose of He'll" a gigantic
blossom of solid wood. which grows only
on the edges of Il Central American vol
cano and gets its name from the Indians,
who believe the crater is the entrance of
hell and the blossom a native of the
regions inside.
Mr.. Silvers specimen is one of few
that have ever been brought to this
country, and perhaps the finest. AT first
appearance it seems to be tough
gnarled knot of Il tree which has been
splintered but closer examination dis
closes the fact that it has petals of wood
and bark and the rough outlines of a
flower. The petals, concave in form, are
arranged much like the petals of half
blown rose. Their inside surfaces are
covered with fine lines, which have the
delicacy of fine hand carving. The stem,
which is about a foot long, is of some
unusual wood, which is light and strong.
1t IS covered with heavy bark, which
seems to have been cracked by heat.
Both flowers and stem are dark brown
the color of weather beaten boughs--and
dry as finder. The flower grows on a
tree of great size and strength. The
blossom measures about II inches
across.
The trees grow in the crevasses on the
sides of Mount Aqua, high peak among
the rugged mountains of Central America
and near the volcano of Fuego. The
Guatemalan Indians have known of it
for a long time and have associated it
with the fiery vengeance of the subter-
ranean regions.Los Angeles Times.

woMAN,S TRAVELS IN PERSIA.
Ten Days Ride at Hard Gallop on a Gun
Carriage.

In times of peril in Persia the medical
missions have proved to be the safest
places not only for Europeans but also
for the Persians themselves. DR.. Emme-
line Stuart, niece of the veteran Bishop
Stuart, had remarkable story to tell of
her own experiences when preparing to
leave the country.
The only escort available through the
disturbed country from lspahan to Te-
heran was offered to her by the military
authorities, and she accepted it, to find
that it entailed travelling on gun car
riage harnessed six in hand and that for
ten days double stages were effected at
hard gallop, while the shelter of the
carriage formed her canopy at night
DIR. Stuart testified to the unfaiing
courtesy and kindness of the officers to
the traveller placed in their charge and
treasured the committee as to the abso-
lutte safety of the missionaries during
this period of unrest by saying that the
mission compound at Ispahan was one
of the safest places in the city. In fact
members of the families of officers of the
Shah have in the last few months re-
sorted TO it as an asylum.-Pall Mall

tween midnight and four in the morn
Ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and 1t was quite natural that
should want good, hot cup of coffee
about that time. 1t stimulated me and
l could keep awake better.
after three or four years of coffee
drinking became a nervous wreck and
thought that | simply could not live
without my coffee. All this time | was
subject to frequent bilious attacks
sometimes so severe as to keep me In
bed for several days
After being married. Husband
begged me to leave off coffee, for he
feared that it had already hurt me al
most beyond repair, so l resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit
II began taking Postum and for
few days felt the lapguid. tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant, but
liked the taste of Postum, and that an
swered for the breakfast beverage all
right.
Finally began to feel clearer head
ed and had steadier nerves. After
years use OF Postum l now feel like a
new woman-have not had any bilious
attacks since | left off coffee"
