PINE LAND SUITS. The Long: Expected Attacks on Lum ber Companies Begun in Minne sota Courts. The First One Against the Ackley Lumber Company—Similar to the Smith Case'. Report of the Minnesota Insurance Commissioner—Fire Companies Lost Money. ST. PAUL, Feb. 21,—One of the long expected and famous pine land suits has been brought at last, and is entitled the State of Minnesota against the Ackley Lumber company. The suit is filed in Itasca county, in the Fifteenth judicial district, and de mands that the permit heretofore issued to the defendant be revoked and that the plaintiff have judgment for the cost of the timber heretofore cut on the premises described. The action is sub stantially the same as tried in Princeton against C. A. Smith before Judges Bax ter §,nd Searles in which the state re covered judgment and had an order to set the permit aside. S O E I E S Give Ou by I a is S it of in a re Losses ST. PAUL, Feb. 21.—Insurance Com missioner Smith has completed that part of his report for 1893 which deals with fire insurance companies. As compared with the report of 1892, it shows large losses for the companies, the percentage of losses incurred to premiums received, being 87, against 48 for last year. It cost the companies 35 per cent to do business, so that their record for 1893 leaves them 22 per cent worse than noth ing. The statements of business for 20 years shows that the percentage of loss has only twice been higher, once in 1878, when it was 98 and again in 1880 when it was 106. The average ratio of loss has been 62. The total amount of risks written in 1893 was $197,663,310, against $231,346, 587 in 1892. The premiums received amounted to $2,809,321.68, against $3,131,323.85 for 1892. The average premium rate was $1.42, against $1.35 in 1892. The losses incurred were $1,490,915.09 for 1892 and $2,430,342.19 for 1893. These are the figures for the American companies. For foreign com: panies with branches in the United States there is less difference in the figures for the two years. They run as follows: Risks written in 1892, $63,534,967 1893, $66,183,967 premiums, received. 1892, $1,073,005.20 1893, $1,055,965 average premium rate, 1892, $1.61, 1893,.$1.60 losses incurred, 1892, $533,108, 1893, $913,566.27 ratio of loss to premiums received, 1892, 57, 1893, 87. The figures of the mutual companies are less complete. The risks for 1892 were $2,527,532, against, $2,851,214 for 1893 premiums, 1892, $77,539.22, 1893, $83,747.42, losses incurred, 1892, $53, 06b. 20, 1893, $46,098.56. The year was a bad one for fire companies and with the opening of 1894, 15 companies have withdrawn from this state and only one new company has been admitted. The losses in this state, however, have been lighter than many others. "Jagr Cur a Out LANSING, Mich.,Feb. 21.—The supreme court has knocked out what is known as Michigan's "jag cure law" of 1893. The law allowed justices in their discretion to sentence disorderlies to take the cure for the liquor habit. The court says the law in effect permits unofficial persons to prescribe rules acquitting persons charged with crime, and they may be variable as corporations are numerous, and it is not in the province of legislation to delegate to private corporations power to make laws for the discharge of offenders. W a iv Millio a a SEATTLE, Feb. 21.—George W. Hunt will bring suit against| the re ceivers of the Northern Pacific railroad to recover $5,000,000 damages. Hunt alleges that while he was endeav oring to place bonds in Oregon and Washington for the road now known as the Washington and the Columbia River road, he was persecuted by Wright, Colby and other Northern Pacific peo ple, who, when he had about completed the sale of the bonds, caused the pro ceedings to be stopped by an attachment suit against his road. a it a a in ANGELS CAMP, Cal., Feb. 21.—The Austrian boarding house owned by M.

Some years ago an eccentric genius, the Rev. Thomas P. Hunt, used to givg temperance lectures. One night he an nounced that he would lecture at a cer tain Pennsylvania town. Now, temper ance was not in favor among the male portion of that burg. The women, however, were all for the "pledge," and consequently on Hunt's first visit not a man showed himself. The benches were pretty well filled with women, though, and Hunt commenced. But instead of temperance he took them to task about the vanities of dress, etc. They wore great stuffed feather sleeves then. They—the sleeves—caught it, then the tight lacings, and so on through the whole catalogue of female follies, but nc word about intemperance. The ladies went home nearly mad, told their husbands about it and voted old Hunt a regular humbug. He announced he would lecture at the same place the next night. Long before the time ap pointed, the people began to arrive, and when Hunt hobbled down the aisle the building was completely filled with men. The old fellow looked about, chuckled and said in a low voice, "Hogs, I've got you now!" The audience stared. "Aha, hogs, I've got you now!" he re peated. After the crowd had got quiet a little the lecturer said: "Friends, you wanted to know what 1 meant by saying, 'Hogs, I've got you now!' and I'll tell you. Out west the hogs run wild, and when folks get out 'Of meat they catch a young pig, put a strap under his body and hitch him to a young sapling that will just swing him from the ground nicely. Of course he squeals and raises a rumpus, when all the old hogs gather around to see what is the matter, and then they shoot them at their leisure. Last night I hung a pig up. I hurt it a little, and it squealed. The old hogs have turned out tonight to see the fun, and I'll roast you." And so he did, pitching into their favorite vice with much evident relish and gusto.—American Home Life. a a W as a The following is told by Boniface De "Witt of the Riggs House: "Dr. Talmage was preaching at Belle ville, N. J., some years ago, and one week he made up his mind to go into the pulpit the next Sunday without notes or memoranda of what he was going to say. He memorized his sermon and believed he had it completely at his tongue's end. So Sunday night he .went to the church pretty well fortified with confidence. "In those days in that section of Jer sey churches and hotels and many pri vate residences were equipped with pri vate gas machines, and the church where Talmage was to hold forth had one too. When he got into the pulpit after con ducting the preliminary services all right, he gave out his text. Then he was horrified to find that he couldn't think of a thing to say. He repeated the text a second time, and yet his ideas failed to come. He was in agony and began slowly and impressively to announce his text a third time. As he reached the last word and the perspiration of dread and shame was beginning to start, the gas went out and plunged the place into utter darkness. There was no other means for lighting the edifice, and when it was announced that the gas machine had broken down hopelessly Dr. Tal mage pronounced the benediction, and I have heard him say that he never did so before or since with greater fervor or thankfulness of spirit."—Washington Post. Certai A a Molting has its analogy throughout the animal kingdom. We indeed molt invisibly, are continuously shedding our scales, but there are some animals that get through this process even more quick ly than do birds—as, for instance, the shedding of the skin as a whole, by the newt, eft and snake. Sir James Paget has noted that some people have a few extra long hairs grow ing out from the general mass of the eyebrows. The few long hairs are repre sentatives of a permanent condition in the chimpanzee and some baboons. They grow out separately from the general hairy mass over the superciliary ridges. Darwin notes as a significant fact that the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet of man are quite naked of hairs, like the inferior surfaces of all four ex tremities in most of the lower animals. Something about the ear: The lobule of the ear is peculiar to man. There is, however, a rudiment of it in the gorilla. Happy gorilla—and man! About the brain of man and apes: The whole comparison is one of degree, and in the case of the bushman's brain with that of a well developed ape the com parison becomes nearly equal. In truth, there are no specific distinctions between the brain of the ape and that of man.— Gentleman's Magazine. Persevering Of the 36 women who, under the lead ership of Miss Annette Daisy, made a run into the Cherokee strip when it was opened last September, 22 have persever ed in their undertaking and are now hauling the lumber themselves for a house of 15 rooins, which they will occu py. Their section of 480 acres is well wa tered and timbered. They already have three teams, two cows, chickens and other stock, and, neatly dressed in short skirts that come just below the knee and are met by heavy wooh^n leggings that cover the legs from knee to ankle, they appear ready for all the farming opera tions their pioneer enterprise involves.— Chicago Times. a Sides Never condemn your neighbor un heard, however many the accusations which may be preferred against him.
