too frequent, alas!
From one acquaintance she borrowed
the playful clinking of the bangles,
from another the continual ruffing Of
her hair before an inflnitesimal pocket

Practical Demonstration

Arrangements have been made to
hold a Farmers Institute and
Stamping Demonstration at Duluth,
Nay Sd. The morning session
commencing at 10 O'Clock, will be
devoted to the discussion of sub
jects relating to general agriculture,
dairying, swine raising, clover,
corn, etc. Supt. A. ]. Mcclure of
the Grand Rapids Experiment stat
ion will take charge of this part of
the work. Commencing at 1870 p.
m. Mr.. H. E. Wilson, represent
ative of the Dupont Powder Co.,
will give demonstrations in the use
of dynamite in removing stumps.
100 pounds of dynamite will be
used in showing how the work
should be done and how it should
not be done. Full instructions will
be given so that every farmer who
cares to attend this demonstration
can learn to do the work himself
and rid his fields of stumps at the
least expense. Arrangements will
be made so that farmers wishing to
obtain dynamite can purchase it al
the regular wholesale price.

THERE may be weeping and
wailing and crashing of teeth, /"
but the edict has gone forth and the
women will be compelled to abide
by the popular decision and Gus
tom. From this time forth it will
be considered bad form and in de-
lance of social etiquette for the la
dies to wear hats in church during
the regular religious services. This
edict has been accepted and put in
force in the prominent churches of
the twin cities and all suburban
towns are expected to immediately
acqulesce in conformance to its
provisions. It will be somewhat
Illuminating for those $40 to 500
hats to thus abruptly be consigned
to seclusion during church hours,
but the mandate of the "4OO'' must
be obeyed strictly to the letter.

ate admirer of Shakespeare and de-
clares the greatest debt he owes is
to the inspiring genius of the great
pect. Tolstoi's attack on the English
bard has caused the Belgian play
wright to take up cudgels in bitter
way against the aged philosopher.
He is quoted as saying:
"Tolstoi now gives to the world
poor, feeble messages of morbid res
ignation-messages such as might
have been conceived and elaborated
by monk of the year 1000 or by a
sick beadle."
