TEE PYR.dNI

The Pyramid, the one whose entrance
passage was lit by the rays of a star known
as A. Draconis (Which was the north star
u, the time of the building of the Pyramid)
has been carefully measured and signifi-
canoe given to the measures that is power
full enough to throw the mental faculties
developed now a,days quite off their bal.
iance AS the accommodations at St.
Peter were greatly reduced by the late fire,
and as the struggle for gold has produced
tiercer struggle than the one for life,
whereby very many minds topple over
each year, we think it worth while to
sound Il note of warning. so that when the
readers of the mysteries of this Pyramid
begin to drink in its marvcls, they need
not go crazy, for the simple reason that the
differences drawn Gas by a cart rope) from
what little is known of this mysterious
structure, are altogether in the region of
conjecture. and new set of differences
may be drawn each and every day.
SO far from rcsorting to the miraculous
for an explanation, it is most likely that
those ancients knew more about astronomy
than we do. The mystery perhaps is our
dense ignorance, so ignorant that it is only
lately that we learned of the circulation of
the blood in arteries and veins We who
are too sensuous to mediate on the mean
ings of al! material shapes and OBJ
jects effect to wonder that q race who
passed their lives in contemplating the
Heavens should be able to read them and
their movements!
The way in which the Pyramid proper
tons are handled, aud the wildness of the
perihelion hob-goblins may serve to bring
into general notice the stupidity acquired
by prevalent rotc education. On all sub
jects which we know without comprehend
ing them. one may rant us Gliteau did be-
fore the Y NJ. c. A.
We have had only one mind pre-emi-
nent for the development of the common
sense faculty, that of Ben. Franklin. His
poor Richards sayings, if read now, would
be chaffed at. Perhaps Ben. would soon
tire of rai;ing wheat only, when he had to
contend with cookie, frost, wet, hail, grass
hoppers, army worm, weavil and ma
chimes.
Mr.. EDToR-Somc months ago wrote
an article for your paper, calling attention
of capitalists to the water power on the
Pomme de Terre river, which might be
utilized for paper and Towering mills, es-
pecially the former which could be carried
on successfully in county where so much
straw is wasted every year, and straw pa
per in such general use. do not know
how much capital would be required to
conduct such an enterprise. but there is
plenty of money in the country for every
enterprise that money can be made at
Wont some of our capitalists investigate
this matter and turn it to good account
A word about our village: Couldn't the
railroad company be induced to remove
the depot buildings entirely out of the vii
lage? People have wrong idea who
think town must be cluttered around 0
railroad depot some of the best towns in
the west are entirely away from the rail-
road. believe the Little Falls & Dakots
read is to locate the depot at least half 6
mile from town; now if the present depo
buildings were taken away also, with lum
Der yards, ETC., there would be more salty
for elevators and merchants stores from
fire, and both sides of the main bushes!
street could be used with equal Justice t.
all, and there would be more salty in cross
ing the streets, both for people transactins
business and for children going to and re-
turning from school, SyNTAx.
