State Land Sales.

State Auditor Whitcomb is back from
his spring sales of school lands i'll differ
ent counties in the State. The counties
in which sales were made, were Redwood
Yellow Medicine, Big Stone, Stevens,
Clay, Polk, Marshall, Kittson, Otter
Tail, Martin and Jackson. The sale
commenced in Redwood county, Thurs
day, May 26, and was concluded in
Jackson county, Wednesday, June
s, during which time small
fraction over 10000 acres were
sold, about three-auarters of which were
located in the Red River valley. The
price of the lands sold ranged from SIS to
500, the latter figure being reached for
ten acres on the outskirts of Ada, Polk
county, with the railroad right
of way out The average Der
acre was little over &c. All in all, the
auditor was highly pleased with the re-
suits of the spring sales, but he thinks,
with good crop this year, the sales a
year hence will make much better
showing, as some of the best lands in the
State still remain to be disposed of.

State national guard last Friday evening
by Col 1. F. A. Studdart. The organiza-

poral, James Devine. During the muster
and short drill the men showed excellent
spirit and discipline. The company is
composed of young men, many of whom,
however, have seen active service, and
will strive to secure the front rank in the
national guard. Col. Studdart speaks
highly of the company, and, in compli-
menting the men at the muster announced

ARINQUISITIYE CHAP.
He Knows How to Pull Wall Down Upon
Himself.

Himself.
One of those knowing "cusses," who
can always tell man engaged in a GER
tain kind of work, to which he has de-
voted anxious thought and much practical
experience for series Of years, struck
Martin Nelson, who is employed in tear
ing down the walls of the old capitol
building. Nelson, at the time, was at
work upon the south column, or pro.
jecting wall, of the Wabashaw street
entrance to the bnilding. Nelson had
the column undermined, and was about
ready to give it the final stroke
which should topple it over, when the in
quisitive 'tcuss" put in an appearance,
and contrary to the warnings of Nelson
and others, walked up to the base Of the
column and commenced explaining how
the work should be done AS he was
doing so the column commenced topping
over and in response to warning cries the
inquisitive "cuss'' started to run. AS he
did so his feet caught in the grass
and he stumbled and fell. Thoroughly
frightened the inquisitive "cuss'' con
tinued to get up, stumble and fall, until
just before reaching the Wabashaw street
front, he was caught by the falling brick,
and buried by them up to his neck.
The on-lookers, of which there were a
goodly number, at once went to his rescue,
and in very short time the inquisitive
"cuss' was dug out and stood upon his
feet Strange to relate, he had appa-
rently sustained no injury beyond a
slight wound On his head, and after shak-
ing himself together this inqQisitive
''cuss'' walked off, without giving Nelson
his name OR address, so that his services
might be brought into requisition when
another wall was to be toppled over.
If he had only left his name, it is prob
able arrangements could be made to kill
him the next time he interfered with
business in which he had no concern

Failing Illinois Wheat Crops.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, June 1l.-Oficial re-
ports as to the condition of the fall wheat
crop in Illinois are very far from satisfac-
tory. In the central portion of the State,
where nearly one third of the wheat crop
is grown, forty-four per cent. of the
ground sown with fall wheat has been
plowed up, and the remainder will not
yield more than forty-fve per cent. of
the average. In the southern division of
the State, where nearly two thirds is
grown, sixteen per cent. of the wheat has
been plowed up, and the remainder will
hardly yield one-half an average. Com
plants of chinch bugs, army worms, ETC.,
are numerous, and, on the whole, the re-
ports are exceedingly nnfavorable and
very discouraging.

LUNACY.
The Absurdity of an Eclipse in the Night
When All the Other Places Are Closed.


The total eclipse OF the moon that occurred
last night-the first of the kind that has taken
place for thirty years-was observed by but
few of our citizens, owing to the fact that
almanacs had not been consulted. The siderial
authorities had arranged the programme as
follows:
Moon enters penumbra. 10:24H P. M
Moon enters shadow. ........... .ll2O P. NJ
Total eclipse begins .-.......... 0224 A. NJ.
Middle of eclipse. .............. 1:03H A. M.
Total eclipse ends. ............. 144A A. NJ.
Moon leaves shadow ............ 2:46 A. NJ.
Moon leaves penumbra. ........ SAL A. M.
The moon was little behind time in enter
ing penumbra. Perhaps she had been up
little late the night previous, but to close OBJ
servers she was doing her best to reach the
point The sky was clear, and there were
many who strained their eyes long and anxi-
ously to witness the cloud that was to over
spread the fair face of the moon. Disappoint-
ed, they retired, but the few who remained
had but short time to wait, for shortly be-
fore II o'clock the left disk of "fair Luna
became obscured. The disturbance continued
without interruption for half an hour, when
clouds began to fit between the moon and
her observers. Shortly after midnight the
entire face of the moon was obscured
by the shadow, and about the same time q
raging storm came up in the upper heavens
and the earth in this vicinity was shrouded
in Cimmerean darkness. The. clouds shifted
at Intervals so as to give an occasional
glimpse Of the eclipse, and when the moor
left penumbra at an early hour in the morn
| ing she looked very much Disguised.
The eclipse must be regarded as only par
tial success in St. Paul. If it had not beer
| for the clouds the moon would probably have
done her duty. She showed a disposition Il
get behind the scenes according to advertise
ment, but allowances must be made for I'm
| fortuitous circumstances. It was an exhibi
| ton, however, that is exceedingly rare, ant
though the applause was not great, those wht
missed the entertainment will live to regre
! their dereliction.

play on the stage, Notwithstanding its little
interlarding of reformatory sentiment through
Glove"
1t is surprising that any reputable actress
can be found to play it, because it is so rankly
indecent and SO permeated with infamy that
no genius can give it any glamor whatever for
the right-minded. Just look at that opening
scene where all those gay persons are paired
with happy indifference to conventional ties.
They eat and drink, get tipsy, and dance in
the courtesan's house. Then Camille fan
cies that soiourn in the country with
Armand Duval would be delightful change,
and SO this virtuous retirement is sought
by the amorous pain, and the country seat is
extravagantly conducted on the very consider
able wages of MadamoiseUe's Partisan sin.
Here is grown all the sentiment of reform.
ing by living with one gentleman instead of a
half dozen. There is spasmodic interlude
with Duval pere-and the scene changes
back to Paris with the same old crowd of
eaters, drinkers, dancers and sinners against
the sixth and ninth commandments We have
the manly Armand out of this, to him, mex
pensiye country retirement in few hys:eric
passages in the renewed Partisan career, and
then he is IN at the death. From beginning to
end it is an an exposition of fine clothes, and
with many of the actresses now playing this
role, there seems to be nothing but fine dress
ing to tempt the men into this dramatic in
trigue.
Last Monday night there was surely no car
nal attraction. The dresses were superb, and
cut suggestively low. For what? To excite
pity for the leanness, or to apprehend that the
breastbone and backbone might strike fire ?

What Men Need Wives For.

1t is not to sweep the house, and make the
bed, and darn the socks, and cook the meals,
chiefly, that q man wants wife If this is
all, when a young man calls to see lady,
send him to the pantry to taste the bread
and cakes she has made, send him to inspect
the needle work and bed making, or put the
broom into her hands and send him to wit
ness its use Such things are important, and
the wise young man will quietly look after
them. But what the true man most wants
of wife is her companionship, sympathy
and love. The way of life has many dreary
places in it, and man needs companion to
60 with him. A man is sometimes Overtaken
by misfortune and meets with failure and
defeat; trials and temptations beset him,
and he needs one to stand by and sympa-
thize. He has some stern battles to fight
with poverty, with enemies and with sin,
and he needs woman that, while he puts
his arm around her and feels that he has
something to fight for, will help to fight !;
that will put her lips to his ear and whisper
words of counsel, and her hand to his heart
and impart new inspiration All Through
life-through storm and sunshine conflict
and victory, through adverse and favoring
winds-man needs q woman's love. The
heart yearns for it. A sisters or a mothers
love will hardly supply the need Yet many
seek for nothing further than success in
housework. Justly enough, half of these
get nothing more The other half surprised
beyond measure have obtained more than
they sought

PHYSICS WITHOUT APPARATUS
Boiling Water i'm a Sheet of Paper.

In Nature are given experiments for boil
ing water and melting lead on a piece o1
paper:
Take a piece of paper and fold it up, as
school boys do, into q square box without a
lid. Hang this up to walking stick by
four threads, and support the stick ON books
or other convenient props. Then a lamp or
taper must be placed under this dainty cal
dron. In a few minutes the water will boil.
The only fear is lest the thread should
catch fire and let the water spill into the
lamp and over the table. The flame must
therefore not be too large. The paper does
not burn because it is wet; and even if it
resisted the wet it would not be burned
through because the heat impaired it on one
side by the fame would be very rapidly con-
Quoted away by the other.
Another experiment of a similar nature,
but perhaps even more striking is as follows:
Twist up the edges of a common playing
card or other bit of card board so as to fash
ion it it into light tray On this tray place
a layer of small shot or bits of lead and heat
it over the flame of lamp. The lead will
melt but the card will not burn. 1t may be
charred q little around the edge, hut imme-
diately below the lead it will not be burned,
for here again the lead conducts off the heat
on one side as fast as it is supplied on the
other
