Lilies Used for Food.

Growing water lilies for food Is g.
new idea in America, though It Inns
been practiced" on large scale for
centuries in the Orient. Scientists
lately have been making a study Of
the food value of the lotus lily, the
big yellow water lily found In many
lakes, ponds and rivers in>the eastern
and middle western United States.
This lily fas highly priced as a food
by the American Indians, just as Its
pink cousin the lotus Of China, India
and Egypt, Is a favorite food there. :
| Peeled and boiled, the American wa
ter lily Is as farinaceous and whole
some as potato and delicious to the
tnste. 90 az
Propagation Of the American lotus
Is not difficult, declare scientists, and
there are numerous ponds and lakes
in nearly every state, remarks an ex-
change, whose waters are suited to the
profitable culture Of the lotus lily.

STATE. REVENUE. TAX -. II
WAIVED THIS YEAR

!. In this elimination of the annual
tax levy for regular state revenue
purposes, Mr.. Chase says he has
based his action on the fact that the
receipts from various sources for the
next year will be ample for the ordin-
airy running expenses of the state and
he even hopes to finish with a sur
plus. Possible revenue from all
known sources has been carefully
gone over and every possible con-
tingency considered
For years the possibility of tax
less Minnesota has been the dream
of more than one state Official and
while not as optimistic as some
of his predecessors, Mr.. Chase at least
expects a material reduction and the
abolition of the revenue is the first
step toward it's realization. ''
Last year Minnesota did the larg-
est business in it's history. Receipts
totaled $54,37O,555.46, and the ex-
penditures $4,000, 630.35, At the
close Of the fiscal. year, June 30th,
there was a cash balance Of $780,
1888 in the state treasury. The
fiscal year was begun with a cash ba-
lance Of $9,158, 961.72. %ss..'$s - +.

always filed with the clerk of. the U.

the Register of Deeds and the city
clerk in various counties and NUM-

."Across the southwestern corner
of the Pacific, British territory
stretches from Dutch New Guinea to
New Zealand, a distance of about
$500 miles, sbut with break of over
1000 miles between Australia and
New Zealand. In way, however,
Australia may fairly be considered
entirely d Pacific land, giving Great
Britain by far the greatest coast line.
The continent has for protection a
coast line of approximately 5000
miles, easily reached by fleets from
the Pacific, and it matters little from
naval point of view that half the
water that bathes this long shore line
lis called the Indian ocean. Canada
adds approximately 500 miles to Brit
|ish Pacific coast lines.
"The islands that constitute Japan
stretch. from. near the tip of Kam-
chatka to the southern point of Tai
wan, r(Formosa), and thus having a
frontage on the Pacific coast Of about
2,7O0 miles. The coast line of Japan
is much greater, however, due to the
western frontage on the Sea OF Ok
hotsk, the Sea of Japan, and the Vel
low and Eastern Seas.
Screened by' the Philippines and
the British possessions in northern
Borneo, the Dutch possessions have a
direct frontage on the Pacific of only
about 900 miles; but their total
coast line, counting that on the In
dian ocean, is many times that fig
ure. China's coast line, too, is screen
ed by Japan: It amounts to about
1000. miles. French 1ndo-China, be-
hind the Philippines, has coast line
of about 1000. miles on the China
Sea.
"On the eastern side of the Pa
cific, Mexico has a coast line of more
than 1000 miles, while that Of Chile
is more than $500 miles. The ag-
gregate Pacific coast line Of the re-
. manning Latin-American countries
Famounts to about $500 miles.
"But it is the small scattered is
lands controlled by these bordering
nations that constitute the crux of the
Pacific problem Practically all the
islands in the Pacific proper are un-
der the control of Great Britain,
France, the United States and Japan.
All of the French and most of the
British holdings are situated south OF
the equator, leaving the United States
and Japan in close competition above
that line. Guam is practically sur
rounded by newly acquired Japanese
islands, formerly owned by Germany

There are four poisonous groups Of
snakes within the boundaries of the
United States. These are: ''the moe
casin, RATHER, .copperhead and harle-
quin. All are easily distinguished by
their large, broad heads, deep-set
black eyes, small neck, stout bulky
body and short tail. The most dan.
gerous of these perhaps is the mocca-
sin, for it usually rests on branches
of low trees and shrubs and strikes at.
a passing victim. However, it will re-
frain from striking unless irritated
and will give battle only when leased

STORE DONE IN FRENCH GRAY
Seder's Makes Ready For Spring With
 Pretty Decorations

In order to hold it's place at the head of the procession, the Seder Store has been in the hands of the painters for the past several weeks and the result is that it is already in order for the spring trade.
 The store throughout has been painted a French gray. While the color is sober one 1t looks enticingly neat and clean and at the same time adds greatly to the light effect as the tone is soft while not so light as to show dust and dirt easily. The ceiling has also been painted in a dull white with tinting of pink.
 When the electric lights are on the store has an exceptionally bright. at' tractive appearance. It not only makes a fine appearance but also affords GUS tomers a better opportunity to selec' coIors and fabrics desired. even in ar tiicial light
 Never has the Seder Store appeared to better advantage than new. From the interior of its large show windowi through to the ladies' department tn the rear, all has been transformed foI the better by the artistic use of soft toned paints.--Adv.

Children's clothes are as din- gy, old and worn as can be. The beg gars are clad in fringe. The few rich have fur lined long native gowns. Not one ever heard of fashion magazine nor styles. Yet you will hase to look far to find more contented, yea, 2 happier people. Meals often seem to be taken en route, a native wheat bis cult eaten as they pass along or some delicacy bought from the little ped dlers by the roadside.
 The stones are ready for the build ing of new deaf and dumb home and school (Chinese under American su- pervision). It is reported that eleven new houses are to be built in the same vicinity for rent by Chinese individu- als.
