Can You Beat This!

Spur township, the only township ia
the county in which mining is done and
regarded by many of our citizens as of
no agricultural value, has one farmer
to whom we must doff our hats, and
that is John Mitchell of Redruth.
Mr.. Mitchell purchased the farm of
George Mcdonald, 81 acres in all, and
this fall harvested 1000 bushels of
New York Beauty potatoes from seven
acres, little less than 300 bushels per
acre. The potatoes were shipped to
Chicago and Mr.. Mitchell got 65c per
bushel. He expects to get CSC pen
bushel for the last car shipped.
This is the best price paid for tubors
to our knowledge and the farmers Of
Cloverland are gradually getting the
outside world to know the value of
their products.
Mr.. Mitchell has seventeen head of
cattle, some pigs and several horses.

ALMOST TIckLED TO DEATH.
Sailor in Navy Operated Upon--Re-
move Feather from Appendix.

Chicago, Dec. 2l-A man described by
the Journal of the American Medical AS
sociation in its issue today as -. r. P. -
a sailor on the L. S. S. California, swal-
lowed a feather and escaped being tickled
to death by very small margin indeed.
A navy surgeon describes this case in
a treatise on Unusual Combinations
Which Produce Appendicitis
Some months ago the sailor ate a piece
of chicken that gave him a peculiar SEN
sation as it passed from his mouth to
his stomach.
At the time it occurred b him that he
might have swallowed a feather, because
whatever he ate tickled him so that he
could not resist laughing.
Weeks after he began to experience
tickling sensations in the right part of
his abdomen. He had forgotten all about
the feather incident and wondered what
could be causing the tickling feeling.
The tickling became more marked as
the days went by, and finally it developed
into acute pain. When the pain became
unbearable the sailor told the ships sur
geon and later underwent an operation.
Inside the appendix was found the
feather.

self useful to the savages. BY design
he secreted a musket and barrel of
Lowder. and, when an opportunity Of
fered to astonish his masters, he
promptly brought down a bird with
shot. He was in a moment translat-
cd from slave to a great parsonage.
The Indians gave him the title of Car
amura oman of ffre). He became a
chief. led his followers against the Ia
puyas. and, the fame of his terrible en-
sine of war having preceded him, his
tribe gained a bloodless victory. He
fixed his abode upon the spot where
Villa Velha was afterward founded,
and living as one of the patriarchs of
old, soon saw a numerous progeny ris-
ing around him. 1t is undoubtedly true
that the best Balkan families owe
their origin to him"
Brazil, with much the same history
as the United States in her early de-
velopment, has had much the same ex-
perience in growing up, and she also
has grown great, though not compare
bic to this country in population. In
extent it is a bigger country than the
United States proper, and In modern
civilization her principal cities and
farming communities are apace with
the most advanced in the world. Brazil
has an area of 5,6S2,415 square miles
and a population of 25,000,00O Like all
the progressive South American coun-
tries, it is doing everything possible
to encourage immigration.
A curious thing about the geogra-
ply of the country is that there are
few natural harbors, but to make up
for this the river system is more than
adequate-it is amazing. The matchless
Amazon freshens the waters of the
ocean for a distance of $50 miles out.
Its lower part, from Manaos to the
sea- is presumed to have been former
ly bay, 1000 miles long and 100 miles
wide.
Rivers course everywhere through
Brazil, cutting through the mountain
country, so that practically all this
great land, without railroads away from
its inhabited strips, may be penetrated
without the aid of much more than a
canoe One might travel by water
from Cuvaba to Rio Janerio by way of
the river Plata and Montevideo 3242
miles, and from Rio Janeiro to Manaos
1904 miles. a total distance of 6446 miles
of uninterrupted travel by river. Bra
lillian steamboats, run all the way, the
time of the journey being about six
weeks.-New York Times.

The Beginnings of Mother Goose.

name famous in nursery literature
through the familiar jingles called
Mother Goose's Melodies" 1t Is said
that there was Mrs. Goose, mother
in-law of Thomas Fleet, an early Bos-
ton publisher. and that he issued the
collection under this title to avenge
himself for her persistent and I'M
melodious chanting of these ditties to
his infant son. The earliest known
edition bears the title Songs for the
Nursery, or Mother Goose's Melodies
for Children: printed by T. Fleet at his
printing house, Pudding lane, 17l9.
Price, two coppers." This, however,
has been discredited by w. Wells
Newell, who says Perrault published
"Contes de ma mere roye" in 1881;
but the name was quoted by the satir-
list, Regnier, more than a century be-
fore. Queen Goose-foot (Reine
Pedance). or Bertha with the great
foot or goose foot. appears as synony-
nous with Mother Goose in French
tales. The second day of the year is
her festival and is kept as children's
holiday. The Contes de ma mere
Poye," by Charles Perrault, were pub
lished under the name of his infant
son, Perrault d'Armancourt They
consist of ten stories, seven of which
are evidently derived from the Pen
tamerone," an earlier Italian eollec-
ton. Charles Dibdin wrote a panto-
mime called, Mother Goose ."-Cen-

closely than anything else in Europe,
and the kaiser has faith in 1t. He
usually takes away six or seven OF
these suave, polished Germans with
him---intrepid men, who are all ac-
ton, but hide their vigor underneath
an exterior that resembles that of
diplomat more than policeman.
King Georeg himself is not attended
by great body of detectives when he
goes to the races or takes his morn
ing ride in Hyde park. He is not in
fear of his life and his groom usually
serves as his bodyguard in Rotten
Row. while at the Derby and at Ascot
the Scotland Yard men detailed to the
races in the usual fashion, attend to
his safety. OF course, there are al
ways one or two hanging about in the
vicinity of the royal box, but they are
seldom detailed for the particular
duty, and often exchange places with
other detectives who saunter by. It's
more a question of listening to the
talk in the crowd and finding out II
there is any specially irascible person
in the throng, than looking out for re-
volvers.
The French president was almost
unattended by detectives and private
police when he came over from Paris
early in the summer. He appeared
with one lone secret service man, who
was more a secretary than anything
else. Half of his time he spent in
clerical work. NJ. Poincare was asked
by the local police if he wished a
plain clothes escort. and emphatically
said No" All the same, just to be
sure, Scotland Yard sent two or three
men out with him, and Poincare
probably knows nothing about it to
this day.
The kings and princes that Scotland
Yard bothers itself most about are
those in whose countries there is revo-
luton or political dissatisfaction.
These men naturally have to be pro-
teeted on scale something consonant
with the network of police constantly
surrounding the czar of Russia, for
Europe is an easy place to get about
in, and the would-be assassin travels
more quietly than do the kings.-New
York Tribune.
