To the Editor of the Duluth Evening Herald, Duluth, Minn., Dear Sir As to many replies to tbe home-seeker of Minnesota, I "can cheerfully say' this country Is better for a noor man than Minnesota if he wants to farm and raise stock. I have spent one wintei and two summers here, which I find more pleasant than any winter I have seen in Minnesota for eight years. The seasons are short, but the effect of long days of bright sunshine produces a very rapid growth of vegetation. There Is good money in raising coarse grains and feeding to hogs and cattle, for pork and beef always bring a good price here. Hogs are worth from $4 to ?4.50 live weight per cwt., and beet about the same. There is plenty of railroad land to be had very cheap and on long-time payments. A man does cot want to think he can pick up mon ey on the ground here, but there Is lots of it in the ground, and labor will take it out. There is a vast scope of coun try north of Edmonton, Alberta, which can be settled, and a large scope of country west of Edmonton adapted to ranching and mixed farming. This country is the best plaee I have ever seen for the cure of consumption. I could refer you to different people here who were in the last stages cf con sumption, who arc now in perfect health and able to do any kind of hard work and are very prosperous. Hoping this may benefit home-seekers who are willing to work for an honest living, I remain, yours very truly, (Signed.) CHARLES N. SCOTT.

The commissioners appointed to re vise the laws relating to patents, trade marks and commercial names had a tlnal meeting November 22. Prominent members of the Patent Law association (among them ex-Com missioner Doolittle and ex-Chief Clerk Rogers) expressed themselves in favor of abolishing the Caveat system. We have advised cur clients for 20 years to file incomplete applications in lieu of Caveats, and were the pioneers of such practice, and upon appeal won a decision in favor of the practice. In the list of United States Patents issued this week are the following for which we prepared the applications: To S. H. Plumberg of Leland, Iowa, for an adjustable wagon and hay rack. To W. Z. Marsh of Brooks. Iowa, for vehi cle axle, lubricator and sand band combined To B. C. Armstrong of Bur lington for the simplest and most practical wagon tongue support known to us. To J. F.

"General, I never understood how it was you came to gain the repatation of 'the Great- American Beau; woul you enlighten us?" The question tickled him, says the Chautauquan. The seamed face dis solved into wrinkles, and, after laugh ing In his silent way for a minute or two, he said: "Well, now, you will be surprised when I tell you that that whole thing was the work of Gen. Grant, but it's a fact. Just after the war closed Grant asked me to take a ride with him in Washington behind a horse be had Just bought and of which he was very fond. As we spun down the avenue I said: 'See here, Grant, now that the piping times of peace have couie, we must choose a fad.' "'What are you driving at, Sher man?' he asked. " 'I mean to say that if we don't fix upon something, the public will do it for us, and it may not be pleasant.' " 'Well, it is pretty generally known that I am fond of horses; I suppose that will answer for me. What have you in mind?' "I told him I had fixed upon nothing as yet, but would try to do so. Mean while I asked for his help. He said he would be glad to serve me. "Now, what do you suppose Grant did?" asked Sherman, with pretended indignation. "Why, he made straight for tht newspaper correspondents and told them that I had formed tbe reso lution to devote the rest of my life to earning the name of a gallant for all tbe young ladies in the country. At the same time he intimated to the newspaper men that he would take it as a personal favor if they would do what they could to spread the news; it would be doubtless of assistance to me and be was sure I would appreciate the kindness. "Well, those correspondence didn't need any urging. The whole thing was heralded from one end cf the country to the other, my first knowl edge coming from the papers them selves. I saw through the whole thing. though. Grant tried to play Innocent. Ah, he was a sly wag, but," added Sherman, "I forgave him, and I find the work of trying to live up to the reputation he made for me the most delightful pursuit of my life." A Bpleadld British Soldier. Mr. G. W. Steevens, In his hook on the Soudan expedition, depicts Major General Archibald Hunter as the sword arm of the Egyptian army. Just as the Sirdar Is its brain. Mr. Stee vens writes of MaJ.-Gen. Hunter: "First, and above everything, he Is a fighter. For fourteen years he has beenJn the front of all the fighting on the Southern border. He was governor of the frontier at Haifa, governor of the frontier at Dongola, governor of the frontier at Berber always on the frontier. When there was fightinc he always led the way to it with his blacks, whom he loved like children, and who love him like a father. "Fourteen years of bugle and bullet, by night and day, in summer and win ter, fighting Dervishes year in and year, out, till fighting Dervishes has come to be a holy mission pursued with a burning teal akin to fanaticism. Hunter Pasha is the crusader of the nineteenth century. In all he Is and does he Is the true knight-errant a paladin drifted Into the wrong. cen tury. He is one of those happy -men whom nature has made all in one piece consistent, simple, unvarying; every thing he docs is just like him. He Is short and thick set; but that. Instead )f making him unromantic, only draws your eyes to his long sword. "Reconnoitcring almost alone up to tbe muzzles of the enemy's rifles.charg ing bareheaded and cheering on his blacks, going without his rest to watch over the comfort of the wounded, he" is always the same always the same impossible hero of a book of chivalry. He is renowned as a brave man even among British officers. You knov what that means." Two of a Kind. Patrick O'Mara, a private, went to the colonel of his regiment and asked for a two weeks' leave of absence. The colonel was a severe disciplinarian, who did not believe in extending too many privileges to his men, and did not hesitate in using a subterfuge in evading the granting of one. "Well," said the colonel, "what dc you want a two weeks' furlough for?" Patrick answered: "Me woife is very sick, and the children are not well, and if you didn't mind, she would like to have me home for a few weeks to give her a bit of .assistance." The colonel eyed him for a few min utes and said: "Patrick, I might grant your request, but I got a letter from your wife this morning saying that she didn't want you home; that you were a nuisance and raised the devil when ever you were there. She hopes I won't let you have any more furloughs." "That settles it. I suppose I can't get the furlough, then?" said Pat. "No; I'm afraid not. Patrick. It wouldn't be well for me to do so under the circumstances." It was Patrick's turn now to eye the colonel, as he started for the door. Stopping suddenly, he said: Colonel, can I say something tod yez?" "Certainly, Patrick; what is it?" "You won't get mad, colonel, if I say it?" "Certainly not, Patrick; what is it?" "I want to say there are two splendid liars in this room, and I'm one of them. I was never married in me loife." Kw Light ea Sarajlag. At a recent farmers' convention Prof. Burrill of the University of Illi nois gave to his hearers a piece of In formation that he said had not yet got Into the books. It was relative to the first spraying of fruit and trees for fungous diseases. It has been believed that In the case of most of these pests the spores lived over on the' twigs of the trees. It was advised to spray be fore the blossoms were open, for the purpose of killing these colonies of spores. Fruit raisers have been re ligiously carrying out Instructions in this regard and the experiment stations have been sending out spraying calen dars year by year in which the fruit raiser is advised to spray before the opening of the blossoms. But now it has been found that the theory of the spores living over on the twigs is erroneous. The spores live over on the leaves that fall to the ground and lie there till spring. With the first breath of spring these spores ripen sufficiently to float In the air, and as soon as the young leaf begins to expand they find a lodgment there and begin their life work. It Is therefore useless to spray at the earliest time indicated in most of our books on spraying. This dis covery will add much to the comfort of the orcbardist, for It will decrease his times of spraying. It also adds greatly to his hopes, for if the spores live over on the dead leaves the proper way to get rid of them is to destroy the leaves. This may be done by clean cultivation, plowing under the leave? that escape the burning. Nearly all of the new freight equip ment ordered by Receivers Cowen and Murray of the Baltimore ft Ohio railroad during the past few months will bo delivered by January 15th. The orders consisted of 3,000 stand ard box cars, from the Michigan Per ninsular Car Company; 1,000 box and 1.000 gondolas from the Pullman Company; 2.000 box cars from the Missouri Car and Foundry Company; 1,000 steel coal cars of 100.000 pounds capacity from the Schoen Company, and five 60-foot modern mall cars from the Pullman Company. Each of these cars Is equipped with the Westlnghouse air brake and H. O. P. automatic couplers. John Bryant, a brother of William Cullen Bryant, is living in Princeton, 111., in good health. A rcatlve ivlng in Bellevlew, Fa., writes of him: "John Bryant was ninety-one years old last July, I think. He writes me quite often, though it is some time now since he went north in the spring. I sup pose if he is well he will be in St Nicholas, near Jacksonville, this Win ter; that is where ho usually goes. His mind is bright as ever, and for his age ho -is quite active: cannot see to read evenings, so some of us used to plan to have a few gCKcs of whist to while away the long hours for him."

A lady showed me her wax. From its appearance I judged that it had been boiled in water too much and then heated too hot. For thoso who keep bees in a small way, and have only a small .quantity of wax, there is no bet ter way than to put the scrapings of hives and sections in an all-metal sieve; set It over a pan of cold water, "and put It In the oven of a cooking stove, writes Mrs. L. Harrison in the "Bee Culture." As it melts It runs down into the water; and If the oven is very hot, change it to another pan of cold water. In this way light-colored wax is the result. I don't want the water in the pan to boil. If the first pan 13 removed, and the second should be for gotten, boll over and waste, the test wax would be In.the first pan. Some times a third pan is used; and when the residue is dry I scrape it from the sieve Into a paper, roll it up and keep it for kindling the fire. I never let bits of comb and scrapings accumulate; but when there Is a convenient time I melt inem up. When I remelt those cakes taken from the pans of water I put them into a pan placed over a kettle of boiling water, and, when melted, strain through cheese-cloth tied over a fruit can that has had both ends removed. Set this in a basin, pour through and have tho cake of one size. I sell three pounds for a dollar to those who sew carpets, manufacture overalls, etc. The family of the late M.

His death was nov due to the presence of the bullet, ana. in fact.. he never suffered any incon venience from it. Before his death he asked his physician, in the interest of science, to. make an autopsy in order to find the bullet. The physician did so, and found it imbedded in the heart.

It seems that once the general, who you all know is only a boy's size and not a big boy at that, had, in the course of his travels, oa one of his electioneering toiirs.broushi up at a remote schooihouse, where, or course, he was called upon to make a few remarks to the scholars. "This he did in his best style, and when he had finished he stood bv the teacher when that wcrthy said a few things, among them that time-worn suggestion to the effect that when the boys of the school grew up they, too. might be congressman, like Gen. Wheeler: such are the wonderful pos sibilities of this great and glorious country of ours. At thi3 point a long, good-natured, gang-ling gawk of a boy, about 11 years old and about 14 feet tall, stuck up his hand, grinning sheepishly the meanwhile. " 'Me. too?' he inquired. "'Certainly, Henry.' replied the teacher, assuringly, 'just as tlneh you as any other boy.. T reckon I'll have to ungrow ef I ever run on that ther ticket.' nodding toward the general in a way that brought down the hcuse. amidst the embarrassment of the teacher and the great delight of the general."

Courtenay writes a letter which will interest survivors of our soldiers and sailors who were taken prisoners in the Crimean war and marched to Kharkoff, who will regret to learn that the bright, kindly little englishwoman, Mme. Bralllard, nee Chillingworth, by whom they were met on arrival and accosted in their native tongue, has just died at Schloss Sayn, near Coblentz, at the age of 82. Her husband, a Swiss, was at the time of the war professor at the college of Kharkoff, and being acquainted with the governor of the jail she was allow ed to go down there twice a week to meet the prisoners on arrival and to visit them afterward. Besides talking to them and being the means of com municating to their friends in England the news of their safety, she took them all the comforts she could clotbes.tea, tobacco, books, writing materials, etc. collecting money for the purpose from her sisters and wealthy friends at St. Petersburg. The officers on "pa rope" dined daily at her house. Her unselflsh kindness met with no public recognition, but in old age It was no small pleasure tocher to reflect that though so much of "her life had been spent abroad still that when the oppor tunity was given her she had shown herself a true-hearted Englishwoman. Dautith Batter Tests. The Forsogslaboratoric in Copen hagen has issued lately a pamphlet of the Danish butter tests of last year. In these butter tests GS3 dairies com peted, and of thi3 number 6G6 used the pasteurizing system; most of them pasteurized tho cream, and only a very small number pasteurized tho non skimmed milk. It is to be observed that 17 dairies, which did not pasteur ize either the cream or the non-skimmed milk, aro to be found in the last group, and, furthermore, amongst the last mentioned in tbe group. This gives a clear proof that it means a heavy loss to overloolc the process of pasteurization. Of the above-mentioned C66 dairies which competed in the butter tests no less than 97 per cent used lactic acid ferment of the kind soldMn the market, and it is very re markable to see the difference in the quality of the butter, as these 97 per cent of dairies which used lactic acid ferment, together with pasteurization, produced a much finer butter than the half per cent who only pasteurized and did not use the lactic acid ferments. "I'm ready," shouted the speaker, "to meet calmly any emergency that may arise." At this moment the plat form collapsed and the speaker exhib ited great perturbation. 'How about that one?" they asked him later. "That one did not arise." It is rumored In New York that Bourke Cochran, the lawyer and ora tor, wants to marry Miss Virginia Fair.

During the late Spanish-American war a certain old colonel who had serv ed all through the civil war and who had lost one of his eyes at the battle of Gettysburg, was very indignant be cause he was put aside as physically incapacitated when he applied for ad mission to one of the New York volun teer regiments. Filled with wrath he journeyed to Washington, bent on having a personal interview with the president He suc ceeded in gaining an audience, and the president, after listening to his plea said kindly: ' "But, my good Colonel S , you have only one eye." "Just so, sir," was the prompt re joinder, "but can't you see the great advantage of my having only one eye? When I aim my gun, I will not have to close the other!" He fought at Santiago. Harper's Bazar. Military Surprises Xo Loncer PoMibl. It seems probable that the days of great strategic surprises on the conti nent of Europe are over. Such rnoVf ments as those of Marlborough and Na poleon from the Rhine and the Alns into the very heart of Germany or Italy, overrunning vast extents of ter ritory before a decisive battle are not likely soon to recur. The reasons are that armies are tied to railwavs and each terminus of each great railway line near the frontier tells n8 owntorC of the direction of the operations Again, the electric telegraph circulates information so rapidly that surprise will he the result of lack of prepara tion rather than of bewilderment be cause of lack of information. Th6 small and local press to be found In ev ery little town is almost as fatal to se crecy. , Bobby Popper, what is a hostile Indian? Mr. Ferry One with gome Ocd. arable land.-CIndnnatl fen-qulrer: Basswood and Bees. Beekeepers will find it profitable to plan for and prepare bee pastures, says an exchange. Those who have had either the good fortune to be located where basswood or linden trees are plentiful or have the patience to await the development of thia tree have found that they furnish an abundance of food for the bee to manufacture into honey. The tree is a beautiful one and may well be planted as an ornament. Small trees can be procured from the forest or from nurseries that handle forest trees, and planted In the fall In some desirable location for a grove. The larger ones are said to thrive bet ter. The blossoms are Email, of a light yellow color and rather pretty. The honey is secreted in the Inner side of the thick, fleshy petals. When it is profuse it will sparkle like dewdrops. if a cluster of blossoms is held up to the sunlight. Theresas been recorded, where basswood trees were abundant, an instance of a single hive storing 43 pounas of honey in three days. Tbe Egg- and Sex. Periodically and frequently goes around the report that eggs wrinkled at the narrow ends produce cockerels, says the Country World. To the stu dent of embryology this fallacy is at once apparent. For the first few days the chicken is sexual, and then to about the seventh day It is distinctly herma phrodite and contains within itself the elements of both sexes. After this stage it verges in one direction, one set of organs developing and the other dimin ishing, according as to whether the germ Is going to produce a male or a female. So that If the germ had a liv ing conscience, it would not know at the sixth day which sex it would ulti mately be. New York's Milk Supply.
