farmers to get cheap farms for their
bows. in this state. which will soon
pass away and which will never come
again Do not miss it. Do not let
strangers have all the beuefit OF the
good chance which has come to your
doors.
By all accounts there is fair pros
pect. now that both in Swift and Ste
yens counties there will be grand
CROPS, en- the extensive tracts OF land
broken, within the last few years, in
this portion Of the state and that the
ravages Of the grasshoppers will be
very local and insignificant. If these
conjectures turn out true, there will
be tide of immigration up the main
line Of the st. Paul and Pacific rail
road next spring, sufficient to occupy
almest every valuable quarter section
Of land within ten miles Of the track,
we would wish to see our young Min
nesetians, our farmers sons, ahead OF
this immigration wave from the east.
We have never advised man who
was already comfortably settled to
break up his home and go again upon
new farm. No, we say to such,
leave we'll enough alone. You have
by hard work and honest Industry
made home for yourself and how
enjoy it as best you may. But you
can renew your interest in frontier
life by busying yourself in settling
your boys on new farms. They can be
with you at the old homestead during
the winter, and mark you how they
will make things buzz around when
they feel that in the spring they are
to return, after giving you a helping
hand to put in your crop, to put In
the crop on the new farms that they
have an owners interest in.
Do this and you will have no pining

GET THE BOYS FARMS.

1t is fact, to be greatly regretted
that large number of farmers sons
have an idea that farm life IS the
most laborous, Improbable ana leaSU
ENJOYABLE, they can adopt. ana with
this false idea in their heads, they
are restless and anxious to seek en-
plovment in some city or town where
thev fervently believe that young men
of their age are enjoying positions,
eniovments and profits. far beyond
what they could ever hope for by toll
ing on land. :.
That such view of agricultural
life and city life is erroneous, could
be easily shown, that it IS fraught
with evil results to Il great many
worthy Young men and to the COM
monwealth. in general. is equally true,
but. we will content ourself, for the
present, in merely pointing out one
way by which farmers can counteract
this restlessness. useless longlngs for

of farm life.
In the first place farmer should
be always careful to make his home
pleasant for his boys, he should be as
anxious that they should play as work
for s.all work and no play makes Jack

In the second place when the boy is
grown up he should have Il profitable
interest in his work. Something be
yond mere wages, which places a child
only in the position of 4 hired help
and this very idea, when it enters in
to the mind Of young man has a chat

Have Plants Consciousness?

There are animals, with which every
zoologist is familiar, definitely under
stood to be such, which are so low in
the scale OF being that they possess no
definite form, and reveal to cur most
refined scrutiny only the feeblest traces
OF organization; they move, but with
out framework or muscles, they creep
without limbs, they feel without discov-
cradle nerves, they eat without mouths,
they digest without stomachs; in short,
they have all the properties of life, but
without trace of organized structure.
Because such creature is ranked as an
'sanimal," we are prone to associate
with it O measure at least of con-
seriousness and volition. But, on the
other hand, there are plants of the high
est and most complex structure, in
which delicacy of organization, refine
ment of mechanical continuance, and
exquisite adaptation of means to ends,
are combined with majesty and grace,
form and elegance, and even spiendor
OF product; and yet, because they are
labeled "plants," or T" vegetables" 1--WE
assume that they are without conscious
ness, a1d wholly devoid of will. Do
the facts OF nature justify such an in
ference? We venture to think that thew

inference void.-Emgtssh Magazine.

Fishing for Chickens.

A man living next to the Jail in Mid
d!etown short time ago missed several
OF his chickens very mysteriously. Re-
Gently some prisoners liberated from
the jail explained the matter. The
chickens came into the Jail yard to pick
up the crumbs that came from the iail-
BIRDS table. The prisoners saw them,
and their table not being usually over
stocked with poultry, they got fish
hook and line, baited the hook with a
tempting bait, watched for their ap-
pearance, and when chicken took it
drew the bird in through the window

Novel Hydraulic Railway Locomotive.

A novel mode OF travelling has lately
been invented, which the inventors claim
to be applicable to any mining country
where fumes exist, or which may b.
used wherever a stream Of water q
sufficient velocity of current can be a.
closed for suitable distance. The device
involves a carriage driven en irely By
outside power; and paradoxical as 8
may appear, it is caused to travel either
in the same direction as the force, Or
dramatically opposite thereto, while
the direction of application Of the pow
er remains unchanged. In short, it .
a carriage which ;ravels up stream, i'm.
PEELED by no other force than that q
the current. The invention is claimed
to be practicable; it has already been
used in California for transportation On
small scale; and juding from expert.

Beautiful Women that no Longer Rule
in Washington.

One year ago Mrs. Belknap was the
toast. Every night and every morning
we read anew of the brightness of her
face, the marvels of her dresses, the
number of her shoes. She read so much
about the splendors of her beauty and
the wonders of her toilet that she grew
to believe herself to be little above
any of her earthly sisters. In three
years she was utterly transformed from
gentle, subdued looking widow to an
airy, supercilious woman of fashion.
When Senator Christiancy married a
little girl who counted scrip in the
Treasury, the society "leaders'' met
and debated whether they should re-
ceive her or not. She entered their en-
chanted circle as if by fire. She was by
no means unanimously received, nor in
any way warmly welcomed. Nobody
tabooed her so positively and utterly as
Mrs. Belknap. She, the daughter of a
country doctor, was not willing to re-
ceive on equal terms the little "Coun-
tess" of " Scrip" suddenly elevated to
the dignity of a Senator's wife. This
was but one. year ago.
Yet already we have ceased altogeth-
er to hear of Mrs. Belknap's dresses
She lives at the Arlington, and no doubt
keeps still her near personal friends
but she is no longer the fashion. No
body cares whether her shoes are ones
or tens. --~ as
Just the same the gay thron g rolls
up to the door of the Secretary of
War; but his name is Don Cameron
He has a daughter, tall, strong, dark
and beautiful. She now is the toast.
So also is the daughter-in law of the
Acknowledgment, the bride of week
She is a blonde of -blue-eyed
and lovely in an azure dress. The
whole world of fashion is rushing to
gaze upon her at the Ebbitt House.
Every week we read that the most bril-
liant receptions of the season are those
of Mrs. Taft.
1t seems but yesterday that the whole
world was flowing into the house of the
Attorney General whose name was Will
liams. What sumptuous feasts were
those in the new house into which the
beautiful woman had put her very life.
Amid costly hangings and azure-satin
furniture, dressed like a Peri, this beau
tiful Sultana stirred her famous
''punch" for the feasting and dancing
crowds who packed her house. She
stirs it still in the same house, no doubt,
for her individual friends; but the
crowds for the Attorney Generals all
rush to the Ebbitt House, and Mrs.
Taft answers just as well as Mrs. Will
liams the beautiful-albeit she stirs no
no toddy.-NeW York Independent.

or in some better way? In some way
modern society must protect itself from
the extortions of people who add moth
ing to the general stock, but prey upon
the wit of one class and the work of an
other. One reason that trade rallies so
slowly and that labor is so depressed is
that the prices of all necessaries of life
are SO unreasonably high.-New York

CURRENT PARAGRAPHS.

THERE is great excitement in English
turf circles over the prosecution by the
Jockey club of two individuals who en-
tered a three-year-old mare named
sphynx, at the Sutton park races, and
subsequently as a FLY named Glance,
for the trial stakes, at WolverhamptOn,
which she won. In the interval between
the meetings the prisoners disguised the
mare. They painted white star on her
forehead with caustic and put white
mark on the nostril and gray hair on the
fetlock. They also docked her tail four
inches. The prisoners have been COM
mitted for trial.
