THE NATIONAL CORN SHOW
In another column of The Glacier
this week appears an announcement of
the First National Corn show, of St.
I'iul. During the pust week we have
been presented with such material evi
dence that we aro made to believe that
Jlooil Itiver has an excellent chance of
walking away with one of the great
corn show's first prizes.
Some of the hoy exhibitors at the
school fair of Saturday might bring
note to himself and added fame to his
community by capturing one of these
prizes. The world has come to think
of Hood Uiver as a country of apples,
and truly it is, and the industry will al
ways be predominant. Hut it will be
well to know that our products may
be us diversified as we wish.
If any one desires to send an exhibit
of corn to St. I'aul he should address
fur further particulars the First Na
tional bank, St. I'aul, Minn.

last week were both highly successful.
We uro hoping fur a repetition of such
events.
Such activity on the part of the hand
will bring support from all the people
of the valley. We have been told that
the band has recently purchased six
new instruments, at an average price
of fill each. The boys should be sup

We predict that lloud liiver's band

Olivsr Goldsmith and Powdsrs.
April 4, 1774, died Oliver Goldsmith,
In bis forty-seventh year, at the height
of his fame, ns also of his embarrnss

ed, as some thought, by his taking
against his apothecary's wish the fa
mous specific, lr. James' fever pow
ders, One should be Just to the pow
ders. Goldsmith himself thought he
had been given spurious and not the
genuine powders, whllo Mr. Hawkes,
his apothecary, declared the sick man
had taken the right remedy In a wrong
fashion and after Goldsmith's death
published. In collaboration with the
poet's other two physicians, "An Ac

In Judging an opal color Is of the
greatest Importance. Hcd fire or red
lu combination with yellow, blue and

quite valueless, tuid the greeu opal Is
not of great value unless the color Is
very vivid and tho pattern very good.
Tho color must be true that Is to say,
It must not run In streaks or patches,
alternating with a colorless or Inferior
quality. Pattern Is nn Important fac
tor, the several varieties being known
as "pin fire" when the grain Is very
small, "harlequin" w hen the color Is In
small squares, the more regular the
better, and the "flash tire," or "Hush
opal," when the color shows us a sin
gle flash or In very large pattern. Har
lequin Is the most common and Is also
popularly considered the most beauti
ful. When the squares of color are
regular and show as distinct minute
checks of red, yellow, blue and green
It Is considered magnificent Some

Barrels.
A barrel Is not always a barrel, for,
according to a Massachusetts Judge,
the matter of state lines has consider
able to do with It Rome time since a
Boston man purchased 200 barrels of
sweet potatoes In the state of Mary
land. When the sweet potatoes nrrlv
ed In Huston the purchaser sold one
barrel Just as It had come from Mary
land, but It appears that the barrel
weighed only 12!) pounds Instead of 150
pounds, the legal weight In Miissachn
setls. In that state when a person
buys a barrel of potatoes the weight
must be not less than 150 pounds. The
Massachusetts courts ruled that the
purchaser of the Maryland sweet h
tatoes violated the law when he sold
the barrel that was underweight, nl
though tho barrel was a legal one In
Maryland. Therefore a barrel Is not
a barrel In Massachusetts when It
weighs less than 150 pounds. Utlca

Penetration of Light.
Experiments show that light can be
seen through a clean cut opening of
not more than one forty thousandth of
an inch.
This fact was determined by taking
two thoroughly clean straight edges
and placing a piece of paper between
the surfaces at one end, the opposite
end being allowed to como together.
The straight edges being placed be
tween the eye and a si rung light In a
dark room, a wedge of light was per
ceived from the cuds between which
tho paper was placed and the opposite,
which were brought together. The
thickness of the paper being known,
(he distance apart of the two edges of
tho small end of the wedge of light
was easily calculated.

Haiti's Old Citadel.
On the summit of a Haitian moun

A Veil and a Mirror.
From a feminine source comes a
question w hicb is more easily answered
ut first than at second thought a ques
tion that Is, which Is not quite as sim
ple as It seems. It Is this:
Does a woman wearing a veil see
wheu she looks In a mirror what an
other person sees who looks at her
through her veil?
On consideration one realizes that the
veiled woman looks through her veil at
an image which is Itself veiled, and
therefore she apparently looks at her
self through two veils Instead of the
one which Is ull that dims to the vision
of tho other observer. Then there Is
(ho further fact that In a mirror what
was right becomes left andVvlce versa,
so that what one sees there Is not a
picture of oneself, but of somebody
w ho is like oneself only as one of a
pair of gloves is like the other.
That however, has nothing to do
with the question as to the veils, and
that is quite complicated enough to
staud alone. New York Times.
Difficult to Build.
The great railroad bridge across the
Ganges at Sara took six years to build
and cost $15,000,000. It consists of fif
teen main spans and six land spans,
the total length being about a mile and
un eighth. It was necessary to sink
the foundation to a depth of 200 feet
below high flood level because the bed
of the river consists of the finest sand,
which is carried down from the Hima
layas. An obstacle such as a sunken
Ixnit or tree causes this fine sand to
be disturbed to as great a depth as
fifty feet Another difficulty is the
habit of the Ganges to change Its
courso rather whimsically. The point
ut which the river has heen bridged la,
so far ns could be ascertained from
available records, the one place at
which these deviations of tile river
have been nt mlulmum. The river is
walled with stoue three-quarters of a
mile upstream aud one-quarter of a
milo downstream from the bridge.
When to Propose.
The proper time for a man to declare
himself is wheu he sees, by signs that
can't be mistaken, that his asking
won't be In vain.
The time may be soon or late in the
course of n courtship, but it will mark
beyond a chance of mistake the mo
ment when he may venture to ask the
Important questlou and be certain of
winning.
When her eyes begin to wander In
search of him if he does not at once
seek her side; wheu she stops talking
to other people to listen to his most
trivial utterances; when she llngors in
his society und shows him she thinks
his remarks full of wisdom and his
baldest Jokes the embodiment of humor-that
is the moment for blm to
come boldly forward with his proposal,
for the time for It is ripe. New York

Our Mineral Wealth.
The United States is not only tbs
world's greatest producer of mineral
wealth, but U possesses by far the
greatest known reserve of any nation
In most of the Important mineral.
This Is one of the things that has
made us great aud which Is destined
to make us far greater as measured
by world standards. In some instances,
such as coal and oil and phosphate
rock aud radium ore. the United States
possesses more than all the other
known deposits of the world, aud the
only essential minerals of the first
rank of which the Lulled Stutes has
no known supply at all commensurate
with its needs are nitrates, potash,
salts, tin. nickel and platiuum. But
as it stands today no other nation in
the world so nearly approaches abso
lute Independence in respect to mineral
resources notwithstanding the vast
magnitude of our home consumption.

Why Some Women Look Dowdy.
In the Woman's Home Companion
Grace Margaret Gould, fashion editor
of that publication, explains how fash
ions have to be applied differently to
different individuals. A woman may be
fashionably dressed and still look like
a frump. Following is an extract from
what she has to say:
"The new fashions, generally speak
ing, each season attempt to give grace
aud beauty lo women as a w hole, but
for each individual me there must be
discrimination.
"Fashion favors a style for every
body and everybody in style, but yet
one woman's stylo is another woman's
dowdluess, Just as one man's meat Is
another man's poison. There is dan
ger therefore In following blindly the
dictates of fashion, for what is attrac
tive for one woman may be ridiculous
for another."
Geography,
There are many little errors of geog
raphy that are more or less prevalent.
A glance at the globe, for Instance, cor
rects the notion that France is Just
about east of England. Nearly half of
France lies, In fact, west of Dover.
Lisbon is not only west of London, but
Is west of the entire island of England
and even west of Dublin. Even Mad
lid is west of London. It was not un
til the Spanish war and the Oregon's
wonderful swing round the circle to
Join Admiral Sampson that this coun
try came to see by tlie map that the
whole continent of South America is
east of New York. And not until Colo
nel Goethals got to work did we un
derstand that the Pacific end of the
Panama canal Is east of the Atlantic
end Tupekn Capital.
