When the Ship Artist Forgets.

In the paintings of big ocean liners
put forth by the steamship companies
there's not much chance to go astray
nautically nor anywhere near the
chance for plumbers that there is in
depicting any sort of sailing ship.
But one thing the steamship artists
generally do wrong. They point the
mouths of the ventilators to wind
ward. AT sea ventilators always open
to leeward. being shifted as the wind
changes The marine artists often
paint ventilators wrong purposely be-
cause a long row of red mouthed air
shafts look WE'LL or is thought to.
AS the direction of the wind is indi-
Gated by the smoke drifting back the
mistake is glaring.

Moman Not Warmly Clad.

Doctors have recently testified with
rather an unusual degree Of unanim-
ity. that women in these days do not
dress warmly enough; that neuras-
thenia is often the result of wearing
clothing of insufficient thickness. 1t
is not poverty, they say, but style, that
causes the difficulty. Women cannot
initiate the sylph-like maiden of the
fashion plate and wear heavy under.
wear and thick dresses Fashion, with
beautiful disregard to the changing
seasons, demands gauzy stockings, low
shoes, decollete gowns and short
sleeves. The result is too often pneu-
monia or an exhaustion of vitality and
nerve force in the effort to keep warm.

TIE Bicycle n ENGLAND.

It Is believed that the largest EN-.

the British postmaster general He
has in his department at present H.,
400 Of them, about one-half of which
are used by the rural delivery car
riers. Each bicycle averages 10000
miles OF travel year, making more
than 100000 miles in the aggregate
or 100000 miles further than the
distance from the earth to the sun.
The life of the post office bicycle
averages four and a half years, and
that of a tire about nine months. Ex-
cept for improvements in brakes,
change speed gears and other details,
the design of the bicycle has re-
manned unaltered for ten years.

England had at least one tree-dwell-
er during the past few months. This
remarkable fact came TO light the
other day when a boy Of thirteen,
named Charles Brown, was charged at
Stratford with being found sleeping
out without proper control or guard
ianship. When asked where he usual
ly slept the boy confessed that since
June last he had made his home In
Epping forest. What" exclaimed the
magistrate, sleeping in the forest all
that time? You couldn't have slept
there in the winter!" yes | did"
came the prompt reply. Il climbed
up the trees and slept among the
branches" This plucky youngster, an
orphan and friendless, has supported
himself alone for months by selling
papers.

SYNOD IN ST. PAUL.
Norwegian Lutheran Church Holding
Annual Meeting This Week i'm
Minnesota Capital.

The annual meeting of the Synod
of the Norwegian Lutheran church OF
America at st. Paul this week has
attracted large crowds from this Sec
ton of the country, and the deliber,
ations will be watched with much in
terest by our people. Practically all
the ministers and many laymen of
this county are in attendance, and
questions of much Importance to the
church are to be determined, promin-
ent among them being the matter of
the small salary paid to ministers
and the consequent shortage which
has resulted from the high cost of
living of the past few years.
The musical festival on Monday
night at the auditorium was the
great event of the meeting, when
1900 voices, directed by Prof Carlo
A. Sperati of Luther College, De,
corah, gave a concert. Soloists Of
world renown assisted and the splen-
did Luther College Concert Band
appeared in their first concert on
their trip to the Pacific coast.

THE AASE HAUGEN HOME.
Matter Postponed for One Year by
St. Paul Church Meeting.
DEBORAH Friends
Hopeful.

The matter of the establishment OF
the Aase Haugen home for old peo-
pie, provided for by the will of the
late Aase Haugen, with the express
on her farm south of this city, came
before the annual church meeting OF
the United Lutheran church at st.
Paul last week. At st. Ansgar the
church owns a delapidated school
building, which has been abandoned
and the school closed, and a strong
effort was made by friends of that
place to get the home established
there, taking over and repairing the
old property. The committee in
charge reported in favor of this loca-
ton without even seeing the DEBORAH
location, we are informed, but after
they were shown that the buildings
alone on the farm near here are
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 and
its other advantages, they expressed
a regret that the report had been
filed and offered to withdraw it, but
in view of all the circumstances it
was thought best to postpone the
matter for a year, and meanwhile to
thoroughly investigate the matter.
Those who have it in charge, feel
confident that before the meeting
next year they will be able to demon
strate the superior advantages of the
DEBORAH location and sufficient rea-
sons for its establishment here, so
that there will be no doubt about
securing it.

Base Ball Done.

We noticed in the Journal of this
week that the DEBORAH base bah
team, or Vick's "All Stars" as the
Journal calls it, has not won base
ball game this season. This report
is groundless as the DEBORAH team
has only played one real game and
that was with Castalia on Decoration
Day. The DEBORAH team won this
game by the score of to 0. They
have also played two games with
teams from this city, but they were
only practice games and DEBORAH did
not have her line up. The DEBORAH
team plays at Postville next Sunday
and go to Clermont the 4th. All we
need to make this team a hummer is
more backing and less knocking.
Show that you are a true DEBORAH
fan by your boosting and if you can
not boost do not knock as you are
only giving others the impression
that you are a pessimist.-
