new report is unique in that for the
first time it takes up the economic
advantage in actual money value to
the state of Mukden's charitable in
stitution. The establishment of such
institutions from humanitarian mo.
tives needs no justification, the report
intimates, but when it is realized that
an unframed blind girl costing the
state say $40 year, with training can
earn forty dollars year, the econom-
ic advantage to the state seems worth
while. The report estimates that a
thousand blind girls with training
can in a generation produce to the ex-
tent of several million dollars.

USE A LITTLE VINEGAR
IN CLEANING GREENS

All greens must be picked over care
fully and carefully washed. This is
sometimes a long process, for large
quantity is required to make a dish
of the cooked greens. 1t takes about a
half bushel of spinach to make little
more than pint When cooked A
half cup of vinegar in the water in
which the greens are allowed to stand
before washing is of advantage as it
kills the small insects that are some
times hard to distinguish from the
leaves themselves.

RENvlLLE GIRL GETS $4,000 Il
VERDICT FROM MILWAUKEE

Marion Johnson, daughter OF Audi:
tor Johnson of Renville county was
awarded a verdict of $4,000 in her
personal injury suit, for $4,000
against the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. p. r.. r. Co.,. after the case was
tried before q Yellow Medicine county
jury last week. Davis & Michel, Of
Marshall, were attorneys for the plain.
tiff and Attorney Freeman, of Olivia,
represented the Milwaukee.
In her claim for damages the girl
alleges that she was thrown to the
floor Of the car just after boarding
the train at the depot in Minneapolis.
The fall was due to q sudden jerk
made by the train she claimed, and al.
so to the fact the floor of the car entry
was slippery because Of the ice and
snow on 1t.
This is ono of tho record verdicts for
this county so far as size is concerned.
the only equal being the verdict in the
Otos case.~ According to those con.
versant with the case, there is but lit.
tie doubt but what the railroad will
appeal unless a substantial reduction
is accepted.-Granite Falls Tribune.

Stranoe Proof Of Horodiky.

Strange Proof Of Hersdity.
So far as his work is concerned We
remember rascally poet named Rich
ard Savage for one solitary line that
in which he speaks Of the tenth trans
mitter Of a foolish face" It catchily
conveys the notion Of heredity and sug-
gests the sort of wonderful family like
ness of which one has just been told to
the Royal Society of Medicine.
The first Earl of Shrewsbury, who
died In 1853, was born with a physical
peculiarity-the little finger and the
finger adjoining on each hand had only
one joint, the first two bones being
united. The same abnormality affected
all the toes except the big ones. To
day In a direct masculine descendant
Of the first earl the same extraordinary
formation persists. 1t was transmitted
to him by his father and to his father
from his grandfather and has come
down unchanged through nearly 500
years, passing through fourteen gener-
ations.-London Standard.

Defining q Wife.

The pretty schoolteacher had asked
her class for the best original defini-
ton of "wife," and the boy In the cor:
ner promptly responded, "A rib"
She looked at him reproachfully and
nodded to the boy with dreamy eyes,
who seemed anxious to say something.
"Man's guiding star and guardian an
GEL" he said in response to the nod.
"A helpmeet," put in a little haxen
haired girl.
Zone who soothes man In adversity,"
suggested demure little girl.
Zone who makes man hustle" was
the next suggestion.
"And keeps him from making fool
ct himself" put in another girl.
"Some one for a man to find fault
with when things 60 wrong" said
sorrowful little maiden.
'tStop there" said the schoolteacher.
That's the best definition" Pitts
