The country through which the line passes is the best in Bouth-west ern Minnesota, is practically all under cultivation and thickly settled by well to-do farmers who have been going fif teen and twenty miles to market. Ar rangements have been made to lay out towns at the most advantageous loca tions for business. These townB will need stores and shops of all kinds and merchants will find favorable openings on this new line. Doctors and profes sional men will also find good locations. This company iB also constructing a line from Armstrong to EBtberville, la. There will be two new towns on this line named Maple Hill and Irwin, and investors will find splendid opportuni ties at either of those points.

BROWN, I General Townalte Agent, Bfrwlfc UoQXFtlb.&l). iiinv*i Syracuse is trying the interesting experiment of a city municipal lodging house. The city seeks thus to provide for men out of work who are now too often classed with vagrants and degrad- ed by the associations of the public station. In this house the lodger will be provided with a bed and a light breakfast for a period not exceeding two weeks, when it is expected that the applicant will have found work. For this board the lodger will perform some municipal labor on the street or else where. It has hitherto been held generally that the man who has read about the subject matter of a trial in court is dis qualiiied to act as a juror in it. Three states, Massachusetts, Kansas and Ten nessee have now come to the conclusion that this rule should be set aside, and that previous knowledge of a suit need not bar a man from a place on a jury, but that general honesty and intelli gence shall be the chief requirements of that otlice. If the standard of intelli gence in jurymen can be raised to a point that will command refipect and eotablish a confidence that justice will be speedy and pertain, lawlessness will decrease proportionately, and there will be fewer lynchings which disgrace 10 many slates. Thought* of a Dying Man. For ruanj weeks I have been confined at home, from which it Is probable 1 shall nt^e^KAVe.ab a living man, judg ing from tlie conclusions of a consulta tion of pliynicianB, who have considered my case. The thoughts upon immortality by the same man when in normal health or at the eve of dissolution, I have experi enced to be entirely dissimilar. In the first condition he speculates, analyzes, criticises or re I els. In the Becond he is content to leave the subject to the Su preme Originator aud approach the end without diBsent and in a bumble spirit. IUB belief may be the result of instinct, education or reason. It matters little at that stage. The general opinion concedes a Universal Power of prodigal benfignity. That seems now suflicient for me. "Perfect love caBtetb out fear." The Power Superb in benevolence as manifested in Its works, loves us and should dissipate our fears, If we re ciprocate that love by obediencetocom mon-sense dictates and kindliness to ward our fellows, we worship in act, if not in words, and, with this conscious ness of duty performed, our fears should be dissipated. The daily habit throughout lift ot the contemplation of one's own death must have a salutary effect upon the moral actions of individuals, and as a great change appears it can be entertained aB an expected and tolerable, tf not an en tirely welcome visitor. The universal harmony which prevails in the mater ial world seems but a glimpse, yet guar antee of the celestial prospect guided and adorned by the £ver Presence. This faith should suflice for many aB for me, and is my attitude toward my approaching end.

In theBe days, when popular know ledge of electrical subjects is undergo ing quite an. appreciable extension, many people are desirous of a simple method of measuring the lighting power of a tlame. The question how many candle power a lamp has can be settled without any great difficulty. The surest results are obtained by means of a grease spot. In its moBt simple application the experiment can be tried easily at home. A Bheet of white paper, with a grease spot In the center, is put into a frame and placed between two flames of different light ing power—for instance, between an or dinary stearine candle and a kerosene lamp. When the frame is equally dis tant from the two unequally bright liameB the grease spot can be seen plainly on both sides. By moving the frameB with the sheet of paper slowly toward the leBS bright light—that is, the stear ine candle—it will arrive at a point where the grease Bpot has apparently disappeared on both sides of the paper. This illusion always exists when an equal lighting power prevails on both sides of the paper, and there is no side light. ThiB is the point at which to de termine how much stronger is the light of the lamp than that of the candle, the candle Is twenty Inches from the paper, and the lamp sixty inches, and yet both sides of the paper are equally bright, the light of the lamp will be as strong as that of nine candles. The calculation is based upon the distances, the Uigures of which are multiplied by themselves and then divided. In this case, for instance, 60 multiplied by CO, divided by 20 multiplied by 20, equals 9. This of course, is a very crude method, but it embodies the principle utilized in the delicate measurements of the labor, atories. The grease spot always re mains the base of the modern instru ments for measuring light, .whether is replaced by milk, glass, or it appears as an ideal grease spot in the place of an uncovered point of the mirror. The unit for measuring light is now the so called Hefner candle. This candle con sists of a wick saturated with acetate amyl. Its flame has a height of forty millimeters. It is used more particularly when the sources of light possess naturally a certain similarity. The comparison of the power of red gas light with that of white arc light or in oandeeeent light is made most wwurate to IHMlli IMtltaawti, God broke our years to hours and days that Hour by hour And day by day, Be laid across our shoulders, and the future, rife With woe and ftiog-le meet us face to face At Just one place, S&fcp We could not go vl ^^Our feet would stop, and so ftoi lays a little in us every day,""1 And never, 1 believe, on all the way Will Durdens bear so deep Or pathways lie so steep But we cao go If, by Goc's power, Wo only hear the buraen of the hour. —George Krtugle.
