IT 13 A RCMARKABLE BOAT. Can Sail Ag-slnst Any Wind and la Six Inches of Water. There is on Lake Blntin, In this county, oue of the most peculiar boats In the country. It will not do to call It a sail'jo.it, says tue St. Paul Pioneer Press, for, although it is driven by the wind, It has no sails. The term stern-wheeler is sonipwhat a misnomer, foK that name indicates something by steam, or gasoline, neither of which this strange boat uses. The machinery consists of a wind mill, set up in the center of the boat, the wheel of the mill being connected with the shaft on which the wheel that drives the boat Is hung at the stern, and when the wind blows and drives the (w!inlmill around the windmill turns the paddle wheel at the back of the boat and she moves forward through the water. The boat is made with a flat bottom and Is quite wide, so that it draws only a few inches' of water, and inas much as there is no propeller to be come tangled In weeds beneath the surface, the boat can sail over the water anywhere where It is six Inches deep, and is therefore in great demand when the season for gathering water lilies arrives. The windmill Is so adjusted that the power it gives to turn the paddle wheel Is far in excess of the resistance the boat offers to the pressure of the air upon it, and the boat therefore moves easily forward, directly against the wind, although driven by the pow er of the wind alone. This IiiulvLB il very convenient tn use, for although It is, in reality, a sail boat, there Is never any danger of its getting caught against a lee shore and being unable to get away. All the helmsman has to do Is to turn the prow directly into the wind and con nect the power, and away she goes, skipping over the water as lightly as a bird upon the wing. Theodore Pettinan, of Wheatley, Is the maker and owner of the boat, and he has had so many orders for dupli cation of it that he is liable to go Into the manufacture of others like It Defends Jeirs, "It Is Ignorance and race prejudice that lead immigration restrictionists to classify Jewish immigrants among th undesirable," declared a Chicago banker of the race. "There is no such thing as a grave Jewish problem in this country. Statistics show that the accession of hundreds of thousands of 'ignorant' and 'Russian' Jews by im migration In recent years has not bur dened the rich Jews. On the contrary, It has helped to make them and the country as well richer and more pros perous. As to the differences between the liberal Americanized Jews and the newly arrived orthodox Jew's there is nothing to be exercised over. For brethren to quarrel occasionally Is but natural. But no matter how bitter the attack of the orthodox Jew on the liberalized Jew, the tenets of strict orthodox Judaism "command that, all differences between Jew and Jew must be forgiven and forgotten on the eve of Atonement day. No scene can be more Impressive than that in Jewish homes and in orthodox syna gogues on the eve of Kol Xidre, when those who have happened to quarrel during the year tearfully extend the hands to one another, earnestly pray ing forgiveness." An article published in a newspaper of Hungary recently led to thirteen duels, in nil of which members of the editorial force took part. The Malay States produce about seven-tenths of the world's supply of tin. Peeaa Nougat.

The slices should be wrapped in paraffin paper. Kkk Tlmhnle. The housewife who is on the look out for something' 'new to tempt the appetites of her family should try some egg timbales, for breakfast.

The singing teacher was visiting the school, and as this was an important event In the district, the pupils had been -Instructed to memorize a verse or two to recite for the entertainment of the visitor. b During he delivery of his lines, one small boy was especially noticeable for the action with which he accom panied his words; so much so that the teacher, surprised at his efforts, com niended him highly on the ease with which he spoke and the apparent prac tice which he must have put on the piece.

How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature and if ar any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence snould be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met; with the approval of physicians generally, be cause they know it is wholesdme, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, dv an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most benefici ally and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret rem edy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. rlease to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it.
