Adirondack.

The word Adirondack" comes to us
from the language of the Mohawks.
With them it was Ha-de-ron-dack and
meant wood eaters. This term was
applied in derision to a few members
of a once powerful branch of the AL
gOnquins, who were defeated by the
IrOquois and forced to seek refuge in a
fastness of the mountains. They were
in great distress, and it is said they
sent messengers to their victors asking
them to make no further war upon
them, as they were reduced to the ne
cessity Of eating roots and the bark of
trees. A few of them finally escaped
to the north, and others were captured
and held in slavery by the Mohawks.

SAVAGE. but Sensible.

The Jamamadi tribe Of the Amazon
region has a physical test for mar
rage for men which might abe intro
duced with profit to the race into civ
ilized society. The prospective bride
groom must first get consent from his
parents, from the girl and her parents
and from the chief. Then on the morn
ing of the wedding after he has had
his bath in the river he is taken by the
chief to heavy log. The young buck
must carry this log on his shoulders a
fixed distance. If he is unable to do so
he is not allowed to marry. In this
way inherited weaknesses and physical
defects are eliminated, and a strong,
vigorous race is the resuIt.-New York

1ea,,l1 mars,es of siheria-

The largest extent of marsh land in
the VOID is to be found in the low
lands which form part of the steppe Of
Baraba, between the rivers Intish and
Obi in Asiatic Russia. The region is
fiat and covered with forests, salt lakes
and quivering marshes, extending over
an area which is not l. IS than 100000
square miles. During the summer
dense clouds of mosquitoes float over
the treacherous ground. Immense areas
of these dreaded urmans have never
been visited by man. The marshes,
treacherously concealed under a sway
ing layer of grassy vegetation, can only
be crossed by means of a kind of snow
shoe in winter except at the peril of
ones life.

Court Settles Ditch Cases

The district court was occupied
the later part of last week and the
early part of this week with the
trial of court cases. Nearly all of
the cases were ditch appeals from
the establishment Of county bitches.
In the case of John A. Bengston
VS.. the County Commissioners, the
court found that the proceedings of
the county commissioners were so
defective that all parties interested
practically conceded that the dis
trict court should vacate the assess
ments and send the case back with
some recommendations to the COM
missioners to adjust the matter.
The ditch appeals taken by Will
liam Wagner and Micheal Spain
from the order establishing county
ditch No. 80 we're tried before the
court and the assessments for ben
efits in each case on each appeal be-
ing in the opinion of the court ex-
ceptionally heavy we're ordered re-
duced by about twenty-five per cent
The case of the Northwestern Tele-
phone Co. versus the City of Morris
was continued by consent as there
is now similar case being tried
from Meeker county before the SUI
preme court that may be governing
in the present instance.
The following ditch cases were
settled: S. Stewart VS.. County
Ditch No. 80; Campbell and Olson
VS.. A, Firebaugh; Heating Land Co.
VS.. Judicial Ditch No. 3; John Nc
Nally VS.. the County Commissioners;
SpoOner Investment Co. VS.. County

second, the putting into action Of all
your forces to bring about the result.

Earl Hall Arrested

Earl Hall, son of Conductor and
Mrs. Hall, formerly of this city, was
arrested last week on the charge of
using the mails to defraud. No
further details are obtainable ex-
cept as given in the press report,
but friends here are quite certain
that young Hall must have fallen
in with some sWindlers who used
him for working the fraud. Con-
ductor and Mrs. Hall enjoyed the
confidence and respect of many
friends while they lived here and
much sympathy is expressed for
them in their trouble.
The St. Paul Dispatch of last Fri
day contained the following regard

According to Inspector Ryan,

The Buyer Was "Wise" Too.

There is a certain store which is said
to make a practice of buying goods
from the smaller manufacturers and
wholesalers at the usual cash discounts,
plus a liberal discount ''fOr trade" A
fur salesman working for small house
was "put wise" to this fact and fixed
his selling prices accordingly. He made
his call and sold pretty fair bill to
the buyer, who announced that the or
der would be subject to the usual dis
counts plus Is per cent "for trade"

among many farmers and has preci-
plated some unloading Of hogs on
the market.
. AID. Wilson, federal food admin
istrator for Minnesota, has received
from Herbert G. Hoover, United
States food administrator, an abso-.
lutte denial of such an intention on
the part of the food administration.
Mr.. Hoover goes so far as to say
that all the powers of the admin
istration purchases are made on
plane that will assure profit to
producers of meat. animals. Mr..
Hoover adds that in his opinion the
best market obtainable for the pres
ent corn crop of the country will be
through livestock; that the need of
increased production of beef and
pork can be secured only by profit
on production.
The war has brought a decrease of
more than 28,0OO,0OO hogs in this
country through the intense demand
for pork and fat and the use of land
for the raising of grain for human
food instead of for hog feed. More
over, the export has increased 66.1
per cent since the war began. At
the same time domestic consump-
ton has increased per cent. These
facts, and the further fact that af-
ter the war for a considerable period
there will be a poor export market
for bread grains but a wide demand
for pork and other animal products,
make the production of pork real
opportunity for the farmer. This is
the view of northwestern experts in
pork production

MRoozsu First Meant Drink

The word "booze" came to us before
the fourteenth century, seemingly from
the Dutch, in the form "bous'' or
''bouse." At that time, as noun or
verb, it meant merely drink" and to
speak of a gentleman as housing" his
wine was not libelOus or even deroga-
tory. Somehow it acquired the added
suggestion of excess and bad company,
and by the time of Shakespeare we find
it in glossaries of the argot Of thieves
and gypsies. The process may be I'M
1erstood when we think Of the sinister
meaning we often attach to the simple
word drink" which might conceiva-
bly, run the same course if we misuse
it often enough.-Harper's

Persian Mamma.

Mamma or gaz is a white glut1nous
substance popularity identified with the
mama of the Scriptures, which is
found upon the branches and leaves
of trees in Persia, particularly of the
tamarisk, where it is said to be de-
posted by small, pale green insect.
The natives scrape it off the leaves and
make it sometimes into a paste, but
more often into a sweetmeat called
gezangebin, which, although clOying to
the palate, is agreeable to the taste,
resembling a superior and less sticky
form of nOugat.

The Funny Bone.

A most unpleasant sensation is
caused by the violent excitation of the
ulnar nerve due to a blow on the ell
bow. This nerve passes down ON the
inner side of the arm and then rather
inconsiderately bends round and en-
tiers the forearm at the back of the
elbow joint Any one who has felt
his neighbours elbow sticking into his
ribs knows that the elbow is remark
ably deficient in flesh. The nerve is
therefore, at this point very near the
surface and has little to shield it from
blow. If we give our elbow a smart
tap we obtain a practical confrma-
ton of the fact that the ulnar nerve
is the principal sensory nerve Of the
forearm and hand.

Poison Ivy Problem.

Whether the poisonous constituent Of
poison ivy is chemical or bacterial is
discussed in the Medical Record.
DR.. Frost insists that it is bacterial
because of the incubation period, the
complete natural immunity of certain
individuals and that exposure may be
strictly limited to proximity of the
plant and for other reasons and asserts
that he has found a form Of bacteria
constant on all leaves examined.
J. T. McNair insists that actual con-
tact with the resinous sap must occur
and that neither mixing with mercury
por heating destroys the poisonous
quality Of the sap. He therefore be-
lieves the action is chemical.

LARGEST American FLAG,

The city of st. Louis, Mo-, possesses
the largest American flag in existence,
as far as is known. 1t is $50 feet long
and 70 feet wide. Each of the thirteen
stripes is six feet wide. Imagine plot
of ground containing 11,7OO square feet
almost one-quarter of an acre-and
you will have an idea of the size of the
flag. When used in parades it requires
200 people to carry it. But on account
of it's great width it cannot be carried
through many Of the streets Of the
city.-Popular Science Ma0thiK
