DoN'T FLrRT.-Whatever other folly you
may commit, girls, don't firt with strangers
you meet on the streets. Such habit is full
of danger, and often results in ruinous conse-
quences. In most instances the practice is,
of course, indulged in out of spirit of pure
fun ; but the evil disposed put the worst con-
struction upon such conduct. and lay their
plans accordingly. The safest course to pur-
sue is to avoid the very appearance of evil.
To say the least, flirting with strangers on
the street has anything but good appear
ance. It attracts unfavorable notice and gives
rise to many disparaging remarks very injur-
ious to the reputation of young girls. Let
all bear in mind chat nothing more becomes
them than modest, lady-like department on
the street, that this is the only thing that will
win for them the favorable consideration of
those who are their best friends. that Is, good

The little amusement you extract from the
habit is as nothing when compared with the
dignity yon lose in the eyes of others. You
gain nothing by running the risk Of losing
everything. DONE forget that

An ordinance has been intro luced into
the city council of Cincinnati to reduce the
price of gas to $1.75 per 1000 feet. If the
gas company, receiver, or whoever he may
be, that sruns'' the machine in Cincinnati,si
as smart as some gas concerns that we know
of, it makes no difference what the price is
they make their "divies'' all the same. If
they don't get but $1. IS, they don't give but
$1.75 worth of gas, on the basis Of $3.50
per 1000. It is all in knowing how the
thing is done. If the Cincinnati company
don't know how to initiate their pipes with
something cheaper than gas, or if they
havnt got educated meters that register as
they are told to do every time the rate is re-
duced, let them go where the managers
practice such things and get posted.

SETTLERiS' RIGHTS,

The Ruling of the Secretary of the Interior
and Its Effect Upon the Settlers Along the
Hastings s. Dakota Railroad-The Kinds
Substitute Vindicated.
The decision of the secretary of the in
terror, published in The GLOBE of the 10th
inst, and affirming decision of the de-
partment, made last October, is most i'm
portant one, and likely to exercise consider
able influence in the determination of titles
to a large amount of lands in this State
The decision was made in the case of land
grant railroad, and contrary to the usual
tenor of the prior rulings of the department,
is calculated to protect the settlers rather
than the railroad companies.
In the discussion of the Hastings and Da-
kota extension bill in the House, some
weeks ago, the very same question came up
and was fully considered. Many of the ad-
vocates of the bill took the ground that the
settlers, whose interests the opponents OF
the bill, notably, Mr.. Kinds, of Shakopee
were endeavoriog to protect, were, in fact,
trespasser, and had no rights upon the lands
now occupied by them. The decision above
referred to would seem to be complete
vindication of the position assumed by Mr..
Kinds.
The secretary of the interior in the case
before him-that of Streeter VS.. the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroad company, decides
that the settler on the public lands who has
made his location before the local land office
had received notice from the general
land office that the lands were
withdrawn from settlement and sale by
reason of the survey and location
of the railroad line, is entitled to hold the
same, as against the road under his home
stead entry or pre-emption claim.
Prior to the decision, the practice of the
general land Office at Washington had been
to reserve the land for the railroad company
from the time the railroad company gave no
tice of the survey and location of its line OF
road. Thus the settlers, who went on the
land after the survey of the road and prior
to the time the local land Office received no.
tice that the land had been withdrawn from
sale, were placed wholly at the mercy of the
railroad company. AS a matter of fact
in Minnesota settlements were made on the
line of the Hastings and Dakota Rail
road nearly two years after
the survey and location of the
road, before the local land Office received no
tice from Washington that the land wa.
Withdrawn from settlement. During thi,
