They Coulil Nut Hear.
A prtty rich styry on two promi
nent IIinueapoIis gentlemen was re
lated in St. Paul recently. These
gentlemen, at the time of tho great
Hardwood failure, eight years ago,
went to Now York to seltlo up some
of tho accounts of the Insolvent con
corn. Their bulno-s completed,
they partook ofa champagne supper,
and tho sparkling fluid predominat
ed over tho delicate viands. Quite
mellow, they secured a box in one of
tho theaters. After tho play had
progressed some timo ono nudged
the other and quaintly asked:
"Can you hear anything?"
"2sTot a blamed word," returnc.l
tho other. "It is funny, but really
I believe that wlno is ringing in my
cars so loud that it drowns their
voices."
"Come, let's get out of here. I'm
afraid we've drunk too much," and
they retired as best thoy could tin
der the circumstances. Next morn
ing one of the'gcntlcmi'i. discovered
ho had kept his program, and in big
Ictteis lie lead "Humpty Dunipty."
They had been try-ing to hear a
pantomime. Another bottle of wlno
drowned their chagrin. The story
is from life.

Flax liaising.
Much is being said about the profi
tableness of flax raising and tho
neglect of tho fanners of this coun
try of this Industry, for which the
soil and cllmnfo Is so well adapted in
many sections. Probably tho rca
bon our flux culture is so limited Is
the fact that after you litvo raised
your crop, tho soli doing most of the
work to that point, human labor for
pulling, breaking, bleaching and
spinning, isa very Important feature.
If tho flax straw could bo seized
upon by a big machine and turned
info thicad or cloth, In an expedi
tious milliner, flax would soon be
coiuo.one of the great staples of tho
agricultural communities of the
United States. Hut because there Is
n long and tedious process to bo car
ried on by manual labor, and that
labor must bo very cheap to compete
with the labor of Europe, the eiilfl
vatlon of flax ns a fibre has never
flourished In I his country and possi
bly never will until iu coiiiseof (hue
labor Is as pldnlifnl and cheap here
as lu foielgu lauds.
