Chinese Use Brutal Trapping Methods
to Capture the Fur-Bearing Animals

Game laws mean very little in
China. In the more remote Sec
tions, where trapping is carried on
extensively, the operators use
bombs and poison to make their
catches although this form of hunt
ing is forbidden by law, but there
are no wardens to enforce the pro-
vision, notes a writer in the Detroit
News.
The Chinese hunter has many bru-
tai methods of capturing wild ami
mails which are just as injurious as
the steel-jawed spring traps used
by his American and European col
leagues.
Thousands OF animals suffer the
torments Of a lingering death in
Szechuan and neighboring Tibet in
a foot moose trap set in a runway
and fastened to a bent-down sapling
in such way that, when the ami
NAL puts its foot into the fatal ring
and springs the trigger, the moose
tightens up, yanking the wretched
victim into the air where it hangs
suspended by one leg till death frees
it from suffering. This type is used
primarily in capturing the male lit

With television soon to become
serious rival to the movies, and
giant airplanes and "press-the-
button" warships things which
raise little comment from the av-
erage man, it is surprising that
there are many secrets known to
the anCients which have survived
the attacks of modern science,
says a writer in London Answers.
The Greeks could not weave lin
en- or wool on anything like the
scale we weave them today. But
they wove them into the pilema,
a form of cuirass which could not
be penetrated by the sharpest dart
or arrow. The secret has been
lost-perhaps forever.
The Romans sank wells for wa
ter to great depths. Exactly how
they did the boring is unknown.
The beautiful purple dye, known
of old, has eluded the dye-makers
of today. And modern builders
can make nothing of the strong
and durable cement used by the
Greeks and the Romans in their
walls. This cement was stronger
and harder than the stone itself.

Eulalia tried to sit bolt upright
to express her outraged dignity, but
Don Pedro only pulled her closer
and there was nothing to do but
lean against him, in the circle Of
his arm, and be quiet.
On they rode. silent under the
stars, with pine-needles thick be-

CHAPTER XXI

So the next morning Eulalia went
about her preparations for depar-
ture.
Tears Of self-pity blinded her as
she packed. Lonely, insulated from
the world in this most remote and
desolate of the Kings colonies, with
nothing to look forward to but more
loneliness, as the years passed; per-
haps more children; and at last the
final desolation Of being laid in the
Campo Santo of the Mission Car
melo. That was her life. For she
was sure now nothing would ever
happen to call Pedro FACES away
from California. There were no
more troubles with the Franciscans,
and Ell Gobernador served his King
too well in this colony where few
men wished to come and bury them
selves to be recalled by the Crown.
Her jewels were already stored
away in their case. and she was
sorting out her clothes. Weeping,
and recounting her grievances to
herself, she filed a great leather
chest, and as she sat on the lid to
close it, a thought came that made
her gasp with dismay. She could
never get this bulky thing to the
beach. There was no safe way of
sending it she couldn't carry
it. For a moment she sat there,
then a beautiful idea came to her.
She would make a bundle Of her
clothes, then she would dress in a
peasant dress, like Indizuela, carry
the bundle on her head, and bare

Must Books Be Read :

The collector of books need not
fear the challenge that is sure to
be made, sooner or later, by his
skeptical acquaintances: Have
you read them all?" The first
idea he ought to get out of his
head is that he must only buy
books for immediate reading.
"The charm of library" said
that devout book lover, the late
Arnold Bennett, ''is seriously i'm
paired when one has read the
whole or nearly the whole of its
contents"
Bennett confessed that he had
hundreds of books he had never
opened, and which, perhaps, he
never would open. But he would
not part with them. He knew
they were good, and as he gazed
on them, he said to them, Some
day, if chance favors, your turn
will come. Be patient"

Secrets Of Ancients Survive
Attacks of Modern Science

The knowledge possessed by the
ancient Egyptians was very ex-
tensive. They had method of
dressing stone to withstand the
ravages of time and weather. They
also perfected the art of embalm-
ing. Probes, forceps, and other
surgical instruments have been
found in Egypt. For what pur-
pose they were used we will new
er know.
That secret, along with many
others, passed away with the de-
struction of the famous library at
Alexandria in the Fifth century.
The loss of the knowledge con-
tanned in that library was a blow
to civilization.

Best Thoughts

Try to care about something in
this vast world besides the gratif-
cation of small selfish desires. Try
to care for what is best in thought
and action-something that is
good apart from the accidents of
your own lot. Look on other lives
besides your own. See what their
troubles are, and how they are
borne.-George Eliot.

Danish Royalty
Will Visit u. S. A.

Albert Van Sand, secretary of the
New York Worlds Fair Denmark
committee, has just received the fol-
lowing radio cablegram from Carlo
Christensen, Danish newspaper cor
respondent in Denmark: "Kronprins-
parret ankommer USA circa for
ste Maj Besoget inkluderer New York
San Francisco og danske Kolonier. +"
Translated it means that Their
Royal Highnesses the Danish Crown
Prince and Crown Princess will ar
rive in the United States about the
LIST of May. Their visit will include
New York city, San Francisco and
Danish settlements.
One of the main attractions for
their visit is of course the Worlds
Fair in New York. What Danish set
Elements will be included in their
trip from New York to San Fran
cisco remains to be seen.
The extension of their visit to San
Francisco is naturally on account of
the Worlds Fair exposition being
staged in that city the same time
as the New York fair.

Rutabaga House Is
Damaged By Fire

Fire of unknown origin was dis
covered about $3.50 o'clock Sunday
evening just as the flames were COM
ing through the roof of Louis Olsen's
rutabaga warehouse at the north end
of the industry track.
The recently completed new fire
| fighting equipment was on the job in
less than three minutes and approx
imately one minute after getting there
they had forceful stream of water
going, same being supplied from the
$50 gallon tank on the fire truck.
The supply of water carried on the
fire truck was sufficient to check the
flames enough to give the crew time
to move the equipment to the water
cistern along the industry street.
The fire seemed to spread and break
out in various parts of the building,
hence an emergency call was sent to
the Fire Department in Sandstone
for help They responded promptly
and came with 800 feet of hose which
was held in reserve for any emer-
gency which might develop.
Railroad Sends Help.
After fighting the blaze for an
hour or so it was realized that the
water supply would be insufficient
at that point to keep up the battle;
then an emergency call was sent to
the Great Northern Railway for help,
and they responded by sending a
special train from Sandstone with
water and fire fighting equipment.
The special train arrived about 10
minutes after the local water supply
had been exhausted. The train crew
then took up the battle which gave
the Askov department time to bring
in new water supply.
By one o'clock the flames were well
under control and an hour or two
later the special train went back to
Sandstone, after which the Askov de-
partment continued the job alone
until o'clock in the morning.
1t took another two hours to I'M
tangle all the frozen hose and equip
ment and get everything back in
place.
1t was the first real test that the
new equipment had and it surely
measured up to expectations. The
few hundred dollars spent on the new
truck last summer proved to be an
excellent investment, for without it
there would have been little chance
to check the fire, and the whole string
of warehouses, coal sheds, feed houses,
lumber yard, etc., would have been
consumed.
Much credit is due the Askov de-
partment and volunteer helpers for
their logged determination not to give
up the battle. And much apprecia-
ton is due the Sandstone Fire De-
partment and the Great Northern
Railway for their willing and prompt
help.
Small Insurance Coverage.

Fishing Season To
Close December 81

All Minnesota lakes and streams
will be closed to taking game fish
December 81, according to Conserva-
ton Commissioner Herman c. Wen
eel. The order closing all inland
waters follows the recommendation
of the technicians of the division OF
game and fish and the University OF
Minnesota, and was approved Fri
day night by the statewide con-
servation advisory council.
Under the order, game fish only
are protected, and rough fish, in
Guiding carp, dogfish, redhorse, sheep
head, catfish, suckers, eelpout, gar
fish and bullheads of any size, and
whitefish not less than Is inches in
length, may be speared only. Hook
and line fishing of rough fish is not
permitted. Rough fish may be speared
from fishhouSes or without a fish
house.
Lake trout may not be taken, ac-
cording to the order, between jan
uary l and May Is, 1899.
Inc OrQer CLOSING all lnldnQ waters
is effective from January /, 1889, un-
til the following regular date for the
opening of the fishing season next
spring., The order does not apply to
boundary waters, including the Mis-
sissippi and ST. Croix rivers where
they form the boundary between
Minnesota and Wisconsin, Big Stone
and Traverse Lakes on the South Da-
kota border, and the north boundary
lakes and streams.
All lakes that have been open to
fishing during the summer season are
open until and including December
81, when the closing order becomes
effective.

he carries only $4,000 insurance on the
entire set of buildings and no insur-
ance on the equipment and contents
Four large electric motors were de-
stroyed, the main conveyor in the
top of the building, the carloadine
elevator, the elevator for washing and
his waxing equipment were all SER
iously damaged. And of course there
was considerable damage to the south
end of the building where most of the
fire was. There are many holes in the
roof and walls and the interior is a
black charred "mess."
Mr.. Olsen was in the warehouse al
$50 o'clock in the evening to fix the
stove for the night, and it is evident
that the fire did not start from that
as it stood intact throughout the ex-
element; and his waxing equipment
is newly installed electric outfit
which had not been in use since

May Buy Building.

Some time ago the local church
board discussed the matter of secur-
ing better meeting place for the
Young Peoples society. In this con-
nection they considered the possibil-
ity of purchasing the old wooden
school building on the local school
grounds and remodeling it for an
Assembly hall.
The possibility of securing build
ing was presented in an informal
manner at the meeting of the con-
gregation Sunday afternoon. A straw
vote was taken on the matter, and
as there was only one dissenting vote
the board felt it was justified in
making an offer to the school board
for the building. This has now been
done. According to law the school
board can not accept such an offer
without submitting it to special
election of the voters; it is antici-
pated that this will be done in the
near future.
