The Salt Sea leuend.

There is legend in the Morse scald!
which explains why the sea Is salt
The ''bountiful Frodi," whose mythica
reign was golden age indeed, pos
sessed a quern. or hand mill, which
ground out gold and peace, but which
would grind out stores of anything dc
sired by it's owner. Two giant maid
ems, ruled over by Frodi. were th'
grinders. In an evil day a sea rove
came upon the scene, slew Frodi anf
carried off the quern and the tive
giant maidens who worked it. Wher
the sea rover's vessel was right out a;
sea he ordered the maidens to grin(
salt At midnight they asked If the!
had not ground enough. The seq
rover, angry at being awakened from
his sleep, commanded them to grinC
until morning. Now, the giant maid
ems naturally enough worked yer.
quickly. so as they went on grindins
the load of salt grew so heavy that i
sank the ship. and now the sea vii
continue salt forever.

kiinnesota's Wonderful Cow.
Mortified News:

Northield News:
Minnesota has new butter rec
ord. The cows If the great bread
and butter State" have a new mark
to follow, and this time it is North
field cow that is leading. Some
years ago the COW owned near St,
Paul had the reputation of making
a great butter record. That cow
was sold for $4,000. She made
trife over Twenty-Five pounds of
butter in a seven day test, and that
mark has stood good until the past
week, when a cow also of the same
breed, the Holstein, owned by w.
F. Schilling of Spring Brook farm,
completed thirty-day test and made
114.79 pounds of butter. She made
in the seven best days 2930 pounds
of butter. Her best days milk 10S.9
pounds: her best days butter 4.46
pounds; best seven consecutive days
milk 7472 pounds; thirty days milk
2885.8 pounds, or twice her own
weight. This thirty days milk rec
ord has never been equalled by but
two cows in the world. Her average
production of milk daily for the
thirty days was 962 pounds.
Here is the greatest dairying CEN
ter in the Northwest. Only ten or
twelve years ago the idea Of breed
ing dairy cows in this vicinity was
laughed at. Mr.. Schilling and some
others conceived the idea that com
munity breeding of one kind of cat
tie would make this section famous.
And now within ten miles of North
field there are in service over 100
pure-hred Holstein sires. That it
has been a good thing for the farm
ers financially one needs only to GO
to the statements of the two banks
here to prove. Fifteen years ago
the deposits in the two banks here
were $529,0O0. Today the deposits
in these same institutions amount to
S1,2OO,0O0 in round numbers, and as
the president of one of these banks
remarked; This is farmers mon
ey." The result shows plainly that
the one-crop idea was a ruinous one
with diversified farming and dairy.
ing" says Mr.. Schilling, 1--WE make
more money and at the same time
are conserving fertility for the flu
ture generations.

ALL WRONG.
The Mistake Is Made by Many Red
wood Falls Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause of back
ache.
To be cured you must know the
cause.
1t is wrong to imagine relief is
cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys.
Mrs. VIM. Buchanan, living on N.
Third St. Montevideo, Mimi, says:
Whenever my husband caught cold
he was troubled with his kidneys.
He had to wear pad over the region
of these organs to keep them pro-
tected from the weather. His back
was very lame and at times there
would be sharp pains through the
loins. He complained of a tired,
listless, WORKOUT feeling and he GER
tainly had all appearances of very
sick man. While he was suffering
from one Of these attacks my atten-
ton was drawn to Doan's Kidney
Pills, and | procured a box for him.
They did him great deal of good
and | can recommend them very
highly to other sufferers.

The Lords Day and Liquor.
w. c.. Z. u.

This is the season of the year
when the pastors by their sermons
and different associations of Chris
tan people are making a special eff
fort to secure a better observance
of the Lords Day. This is line Of
work which the w. C. T. u. has long
shared in, believing that a stricter
observance of the day would result
in benefit to the souls, bodies and
financial interests Of the people at
large.
A popular writer said recently,
''The man who refuses to take his
rest on Sunday is not simply COM
hitting a sin, but what is possibly
worse-a blunder. The man who
carries his business home with him
Saturday night. gets his mail
Sunday morning and goes to his Of
flee Sunday afternoon. is not only d
fool morally, he is also fool intel
lectually. He is like an engineer
who runs his locomotive so fast the
first quarter of his trip as to ruin it. ;"
But as man is never a machine for
simply grinding out money. but en-
dowed with heart, mind and soul
of infinite worth, there is the great
err need that business be shut out
one dav in seven, that the higher
nature may gather food and have
time to digest it, lest it become
dwarfed and source of misery to
itself and all about it.
A land without Sabbath is land
without religion or morals. Nearly
all our statesmen from Washington
to Garfield have left their testimony
that to the Christian Sabbath we owe
both our civil and religious liberty.
The protecting fence of civil laws
must be upheld, as, if Sunday labor
becomes legal, the greed of capital
will control the needy laborer and
seven days work will be exacted,
and freedom to worship Cod or
to seek rest and recreation will have
vanished. Neither the pulpit nor
the Bible will plead with weary and
discouraged toilers, and riots and an
archy will result. We have made
long strides in this direction and al.
ready have 100000 such defrauded
laborers, on which uneasy founda-
ton we are building our commercial
prosperity.
In the downward drift in this di
rection, the drink traffic is one OF
the most potent factors. With
greedy eyes the unprincipled liquoi
seller looks on our Sunday and CO
vets it. He cannot consent to sci
idly with closed doors, while the one
day slips by in which the Saturday
nights wages are lying untouched

One Of the most remarkable places
in Europe, of which no tourist on pleas

Antwerp, has been known for genera
tons. About 1900 men and women
afflicted With insanity in all its forms
live there and have a happy being as

know by experience how to treat the
unfortunate ones. In the streets, il
the places of anu roment, the cafes
and workshops tht &patients may be
found, and nowhere is there the re-

illness. Even the children know how
to treat the demented people. The
dangerous ones are sent to another
settlement and to institutions. 1t is
wonderful how considerate, careful
and kind the simple people are toward
their charges. and peep into the com
