Ii Is matter OF surprise that our an
cestors should have been satisfied with

many years when other modes are SO easy

kitchen OF near the door is a convenience
which can only be appreciated by those
who have tried it. In many eases where

Syphon OF half inch lead pipe. This plan
mas been m operation on the farm we oc-

Where neither OF these plans are pos

known hydraulic ram, which secures the

more, lS the proportion a ram will supply

'Iat a ram viii sometimes stop without

seldom do without the cause being very
plain a little gravel washed between the

cause not apparant start it again, and by
that means the cause may be found out.

Curiosities OF Grating.

The CultiVator is responsible for the

peach on the apricot and the almond on
the peach, thus producing Il tree with
plum roots and almond leaves The wood
OF the stem will consist of four distinct
varieties, though formed from one con-
tinuous layer. Below the almond wood
and bark we shall have perfect peach wood

We see the intimate correspondence be

should remove the almond branches, we
might cause the several sorts of wood to
develop buds and leaty twigs each of its

When that cultivated and intellectual

When that cultivated and intellectual
middle aged person, Miss Mary Ann
MaXon, of Cambridge, Mass, had the
collar of her offensive little poodle inscrib-
ed ''Fm Mary Ann MaXon's dog whose
dog are you ?" she thought it was a rath-
cr clever joke on the casual citizen who
might encounter the pup and investigate
his reason of being. She was of that
mind for several days. But one morning
the poodle, bowling rs though he was
carrying all the parts of Sirius in the
chorus OF the morning stars, and sudden
ly, as if fired out of gun, shot into the
MaXon presence, with his tail tucked
very close and Il business card tied on to
his collar. Divining that some one had
set this poodle up in the carrier dove
business, Miss MaXon seized the missivc
and read: ''Turpentine is what ails me ;

The country overruns our due.
The fullness shames our discomfort,
We shut our eyes the flowers bloom on;
We murmur, but the corn-e fill
We choose the shadow, but the sun
That casts it shines behind US still
God gives US, with our rugged soil
The power to make it Eden fair,

Who scorns his native fruit and bloom!

Judcious advertising is not merely one
| of the results Of an improving business,
but, as is now almost universally con
cedcd, it is one of the most potent of those
agencies that promote an Improvement in
trade. If these premises arc correct-and
we think they ale-the late spring and
early summer transactions give the pub
lie much reason to feel encouraged and
hopeful. Business men are advertising
more and more effectively, for they are
relying largely upon the good, steady CO.
operation of the leading newspapers, and
less upon those ttful and undesirable
methods which in the experimental sea-
son Of greatest depression took advertising
out of those channels where it does the
most good, The public feels rather dis
gusted than attracted by the sight of glar-
ING signs upon rocks and fences, and con
ccrning the circular nuisance We have al
ready expressed an explicit opinion Alta
recent meeting of the stove manufacturers
Of the country at Detroit, the president
of the convention gave the members the
following good advice "If we would
make the best possible use of our money,
we should patroniZe ably conducted and
responsible newspapers. The newspaper
is immeasurably the best medium open
to our trade; the most liberal and expert
advertisers testify to its value, and in the
employment of its columns we would find
Il means of escape from Wasteful, undign-
fled and ineffective methods to which SO
many resort in their eagcrness to secure
attention and patronage" These words
do not apply to the stove dealers alone,
but to all classes of persons who are trans
acting legitimate business. Even the
farmers who think themselves outside Of
regular advertisers, would find it to their
advantage to use more printers INK,

The ''sea serpent" which has caused
50 much excitement in SWampscott and
Nahant during the past week, was cap
tured Saturday afternoon by Captain
Scaly of the schooner "Lady Of the Lake"
of Beverly, The capture was an exciting
one, the boat being towed many miles by
the monster before it was killed. 1t was
then towed ashore and landed in the cove
in front of the Lincoln House and viewed
by about 20OO people. Instead of the
sea serpent, the creature proved to be a
very large horse mackerel, weighing be
tween 1900 and 1900 pounds.

MIR. 5. Mckenzie, the contractor, de-
serves great credit for the manner in
which he has pushed the work under un-
favorable circumstances. Never before
in this country has there been so much
rain and generally disagreeable weather
in the same length Of time, and the short
space Of time in which the structure has
been completed, is something quite re-
markable. Outside Of this he has con-
tracted for and put up three other build
ings, the average cost of each being one
thousand dollars. All this work has been
done in forty-fve working days, and
shows the handiwork Of very superior
workmen. Mr.. Mckenzie Is man fifty

The Fort Pierre Route.

Elsewhere will be found volley Of
chain and hot shot from the Yankton
Herald, aimed at the head of the TRIBUNE
and intended to scatter all over Northern
Dakota, because of an innocent little par
agraph which appeared in the TRIBUNE
some weeks ago. It seems difficulties
have existed on the Pierre route but the
Deadwood Pioneer Of the 22d inst, speak
ing of the subject says:
seThe Pierre route for freight is now
fully organized, and plenty of transpor-
tat1on is provided on the road. We are
assured there Is no accumulation of
freight at Pierre. The steamers Durfee
and Black Hills are making regular semi
weekly trips between Yankton and Pierre.
The passenger coaches make the trip in
delays in forwarding freight complained
Of during the early spring were caused
by bad roads and scarcity of wagon
transportation, but no such difficulties
now exist, and the directors of the line
assure the travelling public that no him
derance to speedy travel can now occur.
Through tickets to the east, incluning
first or second class accommodations, can
be had on application at the Office of the
Pierre route, in John A. Nye's new build
ing on Main street. Mr.. Leimer, the
agent Of this route, has been for num-
bero of years connected with Wells, Far
20 & Co.'S express line at Denver. He
has an extensive western acquaintance,
and is thoroughly conversant with all
stage business.
In this connection we desire to remind
our Yankton friend that it is bad enough
to lose the Black Hills business but it is
still worse to let ones temper get loose
and tear around promiscuously among
friends as we'll as foes.

This is lie, and the beef-headed pup
py who penned il, and who gets his llv-
ing from the emoluments of a post Office,
igneminiously wrung from keeping Of an
Intelligent, trustworthy and efficient
woman, knows it to be most slanderous,
malicious and contemplate lie.. Eastern
railroads have not stopped selling tickets
over the Yankton route, but on the con-
trary ticket more through passengers
over this route than over all the others
combined; :, and mail service has not been
discontinued over che Fort, sPierre. route,
but is being performed with the utmost
regularity, and furnishes means Of COM
munication between the Black Hills and
Chicago or other eastern points at least
two days shorter than any other mail
route leading into the mines. We regret
the necessity for this correction, because
a contemplation of the base and malig-
nant utterances of the slanderer tortrlres
our feelings with the poisonous sting of
ingratitude. Southern Dakota has al
ways been the friend and defender of the
Northern section. Our citizens have for
years freely and rnselfshly given their
best endeavors to accomplish division OF
the territory in response to the wishes
OF Northern Dakota, though such divis-
ion could result in no possible benefit to
them, as all will agree. The last Terri
torial Legislature, composed of seven Nor
thern Dakota and thirtv-two Southern
Dakota members, made an appropriation
from,the public treasury Of $4,000 to be
used in laying out and surveying roads
from the Missouri river to the Black
Hills. This sum was divided equally,
and one-half given to Northern Dakota.
We believe this to have been just, and
we will not be blamed for thinking that
1t was also generous when we state that
Northern Dakota pays only one-eleventh
while Southern Dakota contributes ten

itlasts longer, and it is more intense
while it endures. The dog that is
going mad feels unwsll for long time
prior to ths full development Of the
disease. He is very iii, but does not
know what ais him. He feels dissatis-
fed with everything, vexed without .
reason, and greatly against his better
nature, snappisb. Feeling thus, he.
longs to avoid oil annoyance BY being
alone. The sensation induces him to
seek solitude. The light inficts upon
him intense agony. This induces him
to find out the holes and corners where
he is the least likely to be noticed. II

tsr's voice bids him come forth, hes
leaves his hiding placs, anxious to obey
the loved authority; but, before he has
gone half the distsnce, kind Q. sensar
ton comes over him which produces On
iistantaneeus change in his whole ap.'
pearance.. He suddenly darts back into
his dark corner. nsIf let alone, there he
will remain, drinking grest deal Of.
water, but not seeking food. His sp-a
-petites are altered. Hair, straw, DIRT,
filth, rags, stone-the most noisome
substance the poor dog longs to sval.

ciety. He takes long journeys TO vent
his restless desire formoti0n. .fe He does
not walk, he does not run. He pro-
ceeds in a kind Of trot. His eyes do
not glare or stare, but are dull and re-
tracted. His tongue hangs dry from
his open mouth, from which there drops
no foam. He cannot stay to bite. If,
nevertheless, anything opposes pro-
gress, he will, as if by impulse, snap
as man, III similar state, might
strike, and tell the person to "get out
