Losses Caused by War.

Norman Angel calculated the Fran
co-Prussian war has cost Germany
$500 900, 900 more than she got in in
IDENTITIES from conquered France.
For instance, he says $4,000, 900 was
spent by Germany in increasing its
peace army to $4,000 men; $400. 00O,-
600 in wages was lost by the Germans
killed and wounded. The permanent
German war force was enlarged by
100, 900 men, and that has been main
tanned for 40 years, at total cost Of
81, 900, 100000. Then there was the
loss of German trade and German
foreign markets.

The city is having considerable
trouble with the sewer on Main street
this week Monday the sewerage
backed up into the school house and
The Herald basement. Workmen
proceeded to endeavor to locate the
trouble and finally, after numerous
experiments and examinations, found
that there was a stoppage about op-
posite the Fair Store. Late in the
afternoon an opening was made
through the mass that clogged the
pipe and the fire hose was brought in
to play. But the mass only moved
further down and the pipe was again
clogged. This morning operations
are in progress further up Main
street. The pipe on Main street is
only eight inches in diameter.
If you want to have the finest time

In the Duluth NewS-Tribune of
November u there appeared dis
patch with Sank Centre date line
purporting to give an account of the
elopement and marriage of Miss Bar
bara Ebensteiner. The story was
true in the main but contained two
erroneous statements, namely that
Mrs. Ebensteiner had been dead ten
months and that she had secured a
divorce from her husband, JOS. Eben-
steiner. There was never any di-
vorce, and Mrs. Ebensteiner died
Sept. %, 1911. Where the Duluth
paper secured it's information is un-
known. The Herald, in justice to all
concerned, makes this correction.

Last Monday was the birthday an
niversary of Mrs. John Richardson of
this city. In the afternoon large
number of friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Richardson called aJ the home and
took it and the inmates by storm.
They carried with them the best of
good cheer, sunshiny faces and kind
words and sincere congratulations, as
well as many presents, tokens of the
good will and kindly feelings for the
well known and venerable lady. The
guests and their hostess made merry
all the afternoon and all sat down to
a bounteous spread. 1t was very
happy occasion and all felt that it was
worth the while to observe anniver-
saries of that nature, that the fires of
friendship and fraternal love may be
kept replenished at all time. Mrs.
Richardson is one of the WE'LL known
and highly esteemed women of Sank
Centre. Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson
have lived here many years and have
a host of friends.

The Exemplary Pharmacoqnosist.


DIR. Harvey W. Wiley, who is by all
odds the best-beloved expert in the
governments employ, was talking at
a luncheon at the New Willard in
Washington about the duties of a
pharmacognosist
"A pharmacognosist's duties" he
said, ARE just as difficult as the name
would lead you to expect. There are
few pharmacognosists of DR.. H. H.
Rushby's ability, because there are
few men willing to toll and toll for
years for sciences sake"
A smile spread over DR.. Wiley's
smooth-shaven, intelligent and humor-
GUS face, and he founded off his re-
marks with this epigram:
Few indeed are willing to climb
the difficult tree of knowledge. They
all want to reach up, break of few
fruity branches. and carry them
home"

The trap nest most commonly used

fowls. is shown in the illustration.
The nest, which may be built In sets
or even in two tiers. stands upon legs.
F F. two feet from the ground. The
nest. A. can be placed either at the
back Of the box. as shown in the cut,
or at one side Of the trap. II used
as a single nest the top. H. may be
hinged. so that the hen can be taken
out that way.
When a hen wishes to enter she
flies on to the lighting board, B. which
ls about three inches narrower than
the entrance, leaving ~ inches clear
space on each side. She walks along
