BIG FARMING.
Mr., Dalrymple, the Great PEN bina Al
riculturalist, Cutting His $4,000
Acres of Wheat.

A gentleman who came down from the
North Pacific the other day gives the
following interesting notes in relation to
Dalrympie's grca. farm: The amout of
ground sowed this spring, WAS 1900
acres Harvesting commenced on Mon
day, with nine self binders. The ma
chimes are run IS hours without rest,
except the ordinary stops for oiling,
lunch and dinner. and the result per
day is $50 acres. One man is employed
to each team, and twelve men follow the
machines, shocking the wheat as soon
as it is cut. The entire 1900 acres were
stacking and threshing viii of course
follow. Dalrymple is harvesting his
crop for about one fifth of the cost re-
Guired under the system in vogue ten
years ago. At the time harvesting com
nlenced it was estimated the yield per
acre from the entire tract would not be
less than twenty bushels to the acre.
Grasshorpers had done but little dam
age, the excessive hot weather came too
late to blast the crop, and everybody who
saw the waving grain pronounced big
wheat farming on the North Pacific
success. The farm on which the wheat
was grown consists of $4,000 acres, on
which next season there viii be sown to
| wheat 90G0 acres, the sod of it having
been broken this season. During the
breaking season Mr.. Dalrymple had as
high as one hundred teams at work
| The burrows turned were six miles long.
and the team made but two trips day,
travelling with each plow, TO make four
burrows, twenty four miles. The loca
ton Of this farm is eighteen miles west
of Moorhead, Mimi, in The proposed
new territory Of Pembina, and this is
not the only big farm in the vicinity,
but is the ''boss" farm of a dozen or
more running from 500 to several thous-
and acres.

HUMAN NATURE IN SOCIETY"

Society gives rs what she can-gay
parties, pleasant receptions, agreeable
mutual intercourses. It is not her pro-
vince to feed opr intellects or I'll our
breast If we love her unwisely because
too well, that is CUR fault, not hers.
And the men and women of society
are not one whit worse or weaker than
is humanity elsewhere. we know more
ahont them, that is all. They are actors
in the dazzling comedy of real life. The
''feroe light" that is said to beat upon
throne shines broad and brilliant ON The
kings and queens of q gay world. Tn
der that pitiless illumination every de-
feet becomes cruelty apparent. Human
nature is the same all the world over.
There are as many weak and vain and
frivolous girls on the Bowery aa there
are in Fifth avenue. A point-lace berthe
as often hides a true and warm and wo
manly heart as does black stuff gown.
Folly and cn?ptyheadedness are usually
said to abound III the masculine ranks
of the army of society. Yet, if every
fool in these ranks were led to exccu-
ton, tue race would be very far from
becoming extinct. 1t would thrive and
flourish and wax numerically strong,
even if society itself were to have the
fate Of those suppressed members.
Many wise man is graceful dancer
and we'll bred guest. Many fool is
an iIl-mannered and unsociable boor.
Many n SO called woman of the world is
true wife, good mother and devoted
friend. And many a housekeeping dame
is lazy, sIatternly, heprtlesa and disa
ereeable. .-UO7iae Journal.

A MAN 125 YEARS OLD WHO NEVER
VOTED. He is now in his 125th year,
and he has never voted. Etienne Gaul-
dinot was born in 1852, in a Canadian
hamlet between the st. Charles and
Montmorenci Rivers, below Quebec.
The great battle between the French and
English was fought near his fathers ca
bin, and although he was only six years
old he remembers it perfectly. Indeed,
the urchin saw Wolf after he was killed,
and Montcalm after he was wounded. In
1772 he married lass, and made clear
ing on the west side of Lake Champlaln.
The commandant of Fort Ticonderoga
employed him as a scout. In May, IT'D,
having come in from q scouting expedl-
ton down the lake, he was captured by
Ethan Allen, He sent his wife, mother
and children to Canada, where they re
mained until the close of the Revolu-
tionary war. In 1888 he trapped for furs
in the vicinity of Niagara River, and
served three years during the war Of
1872, being wounded twice iii the battle
of Lurdy's Lane, and being compliment
cd by Gen. Scott for his bravery. Tx
does not appear to have taken a hand IL

PATENT PAVEMENTS.
Max Adeler Gives the Histoy of One
They Had at Conshohocken.

The recent discussions respecting the
merits of various kinds of patent pave
ments recall the experience of Consho-
hockcn with an improved pavement IN
tloduced there some years ago. LIZ
seems the owners of patent asphalt
pavement obtained from the borough
authorities permission to lay couple
of hundred yards Of it on one of the
side streets. At first, while the weather
remained cold, it did well enough; but
in the spring It began to soften, ard By
the time summer came it was like dough,
excepting shat when it got hold OF any
thing it held on like death. A mani
would attempt to walk across it, and
would sink in it; then he would find that
he couldn't move either leg. Then he
would cry for help, and somebody would
push plank out to him, and he would
struggle out of his boots and walk ashore.
Ever SO many cats and dogs were caught,
and they perished III their tracks, SO
that after O while the whole street was
filed with boot-legs ard cat skeletons
and such rubbish, sticking upon the
surface. until it looked like a jungle.
| Mr.. Cooley's mule tried to cross one
day and was captured They couldnt I
dig him out, SO they put up derrick:
and a man reached the animal on snow
shoes, and fixed the rope around under
his fore legs. Then they holsted HIM,
ana the mule rose with q thick rope OF
pitch hanging from each leg, so by the
time he got 40 feet up he looked like
mule with extraordinary tendency to
grow in the legs. Then the tackle slip
ped and the asphalt was SO elastic that
the mule few back into the old place
with sskerchock. But they got him
out finally, and the next day boy fell
on the pavement, face downward, and
was clutched fast. They saved him by
cutting his clothes open in the back land
taking the boy naked, like pea from
the pod; but he left the tip Of his nose
in the pitch. SO then the authorities
thought they would take the pavement
up. It couldn't be cut OF dug, SO the
workmen undertook to roll it over, as
YOU would roll up a sheet of music; but
when they had gone forty feet 1t sprane
back over the men and assumed It's Ole
shape, except that there were four humps
on the surface where the buried work
!, men lay. At last they hitchod twenty
| or thirty oxen to the pavement, anc
hauled it away. Then they slid 1t int
the river, and it foated down below
Spring Mill, and lodged upon shoal
and there it remained permanently. Ii

ing Of the nose, meet us at every turn on
the street. Your foot slips in these nasty
discharges on the sidewalk and in the pub

communicating the breath of the afflicted,
renders them offensive TO their associates.
There is the highest medical authority for
stating that with fully one-half, if not two
thirds, Of those afflicted with Consumption
Of the Lungs, the disease commences as
Catarrh in the nose or head, the next step
being to the throat and bronchial tubes
lastly to the lungs. How important then
to give early and prompt attention to Ca

rect the system by using DR.. Pierces Gold

glands by a specific influence upon them;
and to assist, use DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rene

Too Dangerous to Run
Loose,

Amongthe opinions delivered
by the Supreme Court yester-
day, was a verbal one remand
ing the case of Lewis Barnes,

convicted a few years ago of
an assault with intent to ravish
his sister; but, upon appeal, his
case was reversed ard dismissed

is stated that this is the fourth

been the defendant, and he is
not yet thirty years old.
