Dispatches from St. Paul say.reports
from 100 points in West Minneeota in
dicate that last night's frost was the
most severe in many years. Ice formed
in several localities. The weather was
cloudy in Northern Minnesota and
North Dakota - and tbe result was not
disastrous. .In Southwestern Minnesota
all the strawberry crop, jubt coming to
the berry, is a complete loss. Tbe re
ports agree in saving that the crop is
also probably . completely ruined. ' Flax
and barley are damaged. ''

Beware uf Strangers. " . '.
It ia curious bow people can make
mistakes. A short time ago a young
lady not very many miles from Canemah,
was troubled with a boil about three-
fourths of an inch above the elbow of
her knee.' It grew so bad that she
thought it necessary to call a doctor, bnt
as tbe. family doctor was a single man,
she shuddered at thethought of showing
the boil to bim. Tbe mother suggested
one of tbe other resident physicians, a
good old married' man, but the father
kicked... He said it would make the
young doctor mad.' Tbe young lady saw
a way out of the difficulty.' She reported
that one of those traveling doctors who
Lad been around regularly for a long
time was in town, and she saw him pass
with his medical case that afternoon.
It was agreed that tbey would watch for
the specialist and call him in. A sharp
lookout was kept, and Bare enough along
became.. He called in. and the young
lady very modestly exhibited her boil.
The- stranger, rather curiously for a
doctor, looked at it and remarked, ''Well
that's too bad." "Well doctor, what
most - I do?". The' stranger tumbled.
He smiled a smile and replied,. "Get a
doctor; I'm a piano tnner." Ex. ' ;

Manitoba Mennonites Even with

The rphUl Work of the , Sturdy Col
onists In Paying; for Their Homes '
-" A Thrifty and Grow- .'
''.. . log- Community. ,
' The i Mennonite farmers of Manitoba,
to whom the dominion government
loaned' nearly one : hundred thousand
dollars eighteen years ago to enable
them to immigrate to farming lands in
Manitoba, have - repaid the debt with
interest, closing the account, and also
the unusual and . romantic relations
that all these years have existed be
tween them and the government of
Canada.; The story is told in the latest
report of A. M. Burgess, deputy minis
ter of the department of the interior,
and quoted by the New York Sun. .'.
Early in 1872, soon after the -great
northwest had been transferred to Can
ada, the -'government began 'to look
abroad for settlers to turn the bound
ess prairie into fruitful fields. They
heard that in Russia was an -isolated
people, the German Mennonites, a race
of farmers who desired to find new
nomes in the far west,, where they and
their wives and children could live in
peace and quietness, which was no
longer assured to them by the govern
ment of the czar. . Canada at once sent
an agent to Russia to ask these people
to send representatives to Manitoba to
inspect the country." So they sent to
Canada several persons in whom they
had confidence, and the result of their
report was that in 1874 many families
went to Manitoba' and settled a: few
miles southeast " of Winnipeg. , They
were supplied with money and needed .
no assistance. Hundreds of - their
friends, however, desired to follow
them, but were - prevented by the fear
that they miglit become stranded in a '
strange country before they were able
to support themselves. This fact was
published in a Canadian newspaper,,
and the result was that about 150 well-to-do
farmers ' of German extraction.
who lived in the county of Waterloo,
Ont., formed themselves into the War
terloo society and told the government
that if it would advance the money re
quired to assist the Minnonites to Man
itoba they would pledge their fanos
as security for the repayment of the
loan. The government found the se
curity excellent and accordingly ad
vanced 896,400 to the immigrants with
the understanding that it would not
ask for any part of the principal or in
terest until the Mennonites who 'bor
rowed the money had been able to get
a fair start in their new homes. All
the government had to do was to ad
vance the money. The business: do
tails were looked after by the Waterloo
society. . Its secretary saw to the dis-,
tribution of the loan, its collection and
its repayment to tie government. ;
This branch of the Jdennonite colony
settled in townships immediately north
of the international border between
tho Red river on the east and Pembina
mountain on the west. At that time
the tract was a treeless prairie, rich iD
everything, except trees, that makes ag
ricultural -lands desirable. The immi
grants began to cross, the ocean lr
1875, and the work of preparing sheltei
for the winter and the difiicnlty o)
getting supplies, "prevented them thr
first season from bringing more than t
small area under cultivation. Noth
ing, however, disheartened the sturdy
workers, though their first crop was
injured, by grasshoppers and the next
two crops by excessive rains. Eaefc
year saw considerable additions tc
their number and a larger area undei
cultivation. Their village grew, they
built roads and bridges; and to-day the
country that seventeen years ago was
a treeless prairie without a solitary
settler is one of the most thriving in
the Canadian northwest. It is, in fact,
beginning to ovfirflow, and many of the
young men are looking for homesteads
further west, either in Manitoba or the
northwest ' territories. The money
which these people havo repaid in
cludes not only the 880,400 borrowed,
but also SS3.380 interest, ' making a
total return of 130,380. Mr. Burgess,
in his report, rightly observes that
'the history of no . country affords a
Case in which an obligation to the gov
ernment on the part of any society,
company or individual has been ful
filled with, greater faithfulness than
this." The . entire transaction seems
creditable to the government, the Men
nonite immigrants and the Waterloo
society, and it is noteworthy : .that
neither of the persons to Whom the
loan was made nor the Waterloo so
ciety, which became accountable for
its repayment, has ever requested any
abatement of the terms of refund, nor
in any case has there been any effort
of the settlers or their bondsmen to esr
pe liability.- -

Dr. neylin, in his Life c of King
.Charles," reeords that during the reign
of,Juecn Elizabeth 'there-was one
who wrote the ten commandments, the
.creed, the Pater NottCr, the" queen's
name and the prayer of our Lord with
in the compass of a penny, and gave
her majesty a pair of spectacles of such
an artificial making that by the help
thereof she did plainly and distinctly
discern every letter," says the - London
Bookworm. A some'wliat similar feat
was that "rare niece of work brought
to pass by Peter Pales, an Englishman,
who also exhibited before her majesty
the entire Bible written ia a. book con
taining as many leaves as a full-sized
edition; but -fitting into a walnut-"
In St John's college, Oxford, is pre
served a portrait of Charles I., in which
the engraver's lines, as they seem to
, be,-are really microscopic writings the
face alone containing all the book of
Psalms, with the creeds and several
forms of prayers. .: .. ik : , .
r The learned Poiv.on is known to have
Indulged in this species of . ''curious
idleness" occasionally,- and perhaps the
Greek, verses from the Medea of Euri
pides, with Johnson's translation "of
the same, - for. Barney's "History of
Music," were executed b3' bim. Though
consisting of two hundred and twenty- j
six words, they arq comprised in a cir
cle hall an inch in diameter, with a
small space in thd center left blank.-';
About forty years ago a specimen of
microscopic penmanship was exhibited
.in America. It consisted of the follow
ing inscription written upon glass in a
circle much smaller than the head of
an ordinary pin (one six hundred and
twenty-fifth part of an inch in di
ameter): "Lowell and Scuter. watch
makers, 04 Exchange street, Portland.
Written by Ferraat at Paris, 1852." -r-
At tho Dusseldorf exhibition a few
years ago a gentleman showed a postal
card upon which the whole of the first
three books of , the Odyssey were
written,-the remaining space being
filled with the transcript of a long de
bate which had taken place in, the
German parliament a short time be
fore. , The. whole card contained thirty-'
three thousand words. .' . ,
Layard, in his "History of Nineveh,"
mentions that the national records of
the Assyrian empire 'were written on
bricks in characters so minute as to be
scarcely legible without the aid of a
micvoricropo, and that, - in. ' fact, a
variety of this instrument was found
among the excavations. ' .. . -So
Eiu'eli . for ' dainty penmanship.
That minute mechanical construction
can lay claim to con siderable antiquity
is evidenced by the works of Pliny and
Adrian, ' who relate that Myrmicides
constructed out of ivory a ship wiih all
her appurtenances and a chariot with
our wheels and four horses,- both so
small that a bec could, hide either of
them with its wings. v . ; ' . 7 -r
A still more wonderful work is that
of Mark Sealiot, a London locksmith,
who, in 1570, manufactured a lock con
sisting, of eleven different pieces of
steel, iron and brass, which, together
with the key belonging to it, weighed
only one grain. The sairio artist-con
structed a chain of gold containing
forty-three link3, which ho fastened to
the lock and key, and upon these being
attached to the:cek of a llaathe insect
was able to draw thera with ease.
, liadianus Junius saw at Mechlin, in
Brabant, a cherry stone carved in the
form of a basket, in whiiili were four
teen pairs of dice, the spots on the lat
ter visible to the naked cve. A cherry
stone carved by the sculptor, EoSsi,
and containing a glory of sixty saints,
was shown at Florence for many years.
A still more marvelous curiosity was
a set of one thousand six hundred
ivory dishes, which were said to havo
been purchased by. onu &had from the
maker,' Oswald Xorthingotfan, and ex
hibited before Pope VI. Theue dainty
turnings, though .parfoet i:i every re
spect, were scarcely visible to ; the
laked eye, and could be easily . inclosed
.n a casket the size., of a peppercorn.
A Jesuit, Father Farrarius, rr.ale twenty-five"
wooden cannon capable of being
packed away in the same spacp. :f .',
In T.7C4," on tho birthday of Kinp
George III., a watchmaker of London
named - Arnold presented hiaself be
fore the king to exhibit a curious re
peating watch of his raaEufacture.
This watch was in diameter somewhat
less than a silver'two-pence, contained
one hundred and twenty distinct parts
and weighed altogether less than eix
pennyweights." ; s -
- Not very long' ago a London news
paper, announced that a jowoler of
Turin had made a tugboat formed of a
single pearl. : The sail of beatoa gold
studded with diamonds and the bin
nacle light at the prow i a perfect
ruby. ' An emerald serves as its rudder
and the stand on which it is mounted
is a slab of whitest ivory. - .The entire
weight of this marvelous specimen of
the jeweler's craft is less than half as
ounce, but tho maker values i- at" one
thousand pounds. ; "
