NEW CLOTHES.

There is something almost regenerating
about new clothes. they possess moral
iu.!uonce " hich even the missionary who
clrfies them 10 the heather has not over
looked, however thoroughly no may be
persuaded that we overdo the matter.
What man in his new spring suit ever re-
fused his vito favor? When he had on
his old things, and felt down at the mouth
and shabby enough, he could, doubtless,
do it without qualm; but let him "ree
get inside OF his new brooches, and all
the surface. Even Pat feels hiVself
hedged in his Sunday clothes. and limit
e | as to drinks, and if he is going to give
Bi,liy black eye, he will do it III his old
buds. And Biddy herself, though she
NAV be sour enough about her work in
her tattered calico, and ready at handying
bi,,inrsgatc. no sooner ions her smart
new dt,aine than a lldE-iikn behaviour
,rrer> So he on,lued Herewith. We love
consistency, and there is some hing in
harmonious to our minds between rev
clothes and bad manners, and we would
fam remodel our speech and actions to
correspond With our attire. Not that old
clothes nccessitate incivilty. We will
fad many gentle man and woman in
side them But when the rude and I'M
tntored body puts on her best, a vague,
unformulated idea possesses her that the
old ways arc not in unison with the new
things and Mrs. Grundy will perceive at
a glance that she is only cook unless
she Stimulates the bearing o! the mistress
as well as the cut and fashion Of her gar
mcntS. But even among the very eject.
whose manners need no reformation,
whose mind and temper are supposed to
be above suspicion, new clothes are capa-
he of arousing some latent enthusiasm.
The excitement OF selecting and prepar-
ing new ones never seems to grow stale
or Improbable, since every season brings

WHOLESALE FARMING.

Newspaper correspondents writing from
the new Northwest grow very enthusias-
tic over the mammoth farms of Dakota.
There are single farms of tens of thousano
and owned by Oliver Dalrymple, embraces
fifty square miles of contiguous territory
In Cass comfy there are four farms with
a combincd extent of So. 000 acres. These
bic farms owned in almost every instance
by non residents, often by syndicate oil
CAPITALISTS, whose sole object is to get as
much money ont Of their Investment a.
possible. Everything IS done as far as If
can be- by machinery and by Who'll sale
The laborers employed arc often imported
for the purpose, and leave again after bar
vest. The wheat is sown, ripens and -
harvested and sent East: the railroads re-
ceiye some benefit III freight, but as t;0r
rs the Territory is concerned, the crop
might almost as well have been carried
OF by the grasshoppers or never have
Ueen planted.
1t is doubtless very interesting to ride
through these big farm lands and see the
fields of ripening wheat extending with
out interruption as far rs the eye can
reach ID every direction. IL were better,
however, il these vast expanses Of cereal
wealth were broken by fences, hedges,
and here and there home. There are
no clustering villages where bonanza
farms abound-no churches, school-hous-
es or other incidents Of civilization. The
soil is worked for all there is III 1t, With
out any attempt al rotation OF crops or
any regard fer the future. The profi5 on
each crop is spent elsewhere by the non
resident owners and the idea is growing
that the system is not conducive 10 the
permanent interests OF the Territory. The
Northern Pacific Railroad IS mainly re-
spousible for this state OF things, as it
adopted the policy Of selling its lands in
as big lots as it could find purchasers for.
1t nov perceivcs that actual settlers are
more profitable as purchasers OF land
along its line. as they not only ship their
grain by the railroad, but give the road
return ireights as well. Unquestionably
the big farm business will eventually be-
come an issue in Dakota, as it already
has. with far less cause, IN Calitor-
MIA. The mammoth farms are bad enough
in themselves, bat when there is added
tn this nonresident ownership We have a
condition Of things which no State can
afford 10 hive become prominent and
1narmnnent feature.

The Centre of Population.

The centre Of population in the United
States was Nv euty two miles from Dalti-
more in 1850 and has moved westward
at the average rate of ihout fifty-one
miles every decade, never de,iatiug to
the extent of degree north ur south of
the thirty ninth parallel The greatest
progress was between the years 1e50-6O.
when it travelled eighty one miles from
point il Virginia to twenty miles south
Of Chilicothe, Ohio. This movement
was caused by the ettlement of the Pa

about eight, being hear the village OF
Tay lorsyil!e, Ky. about eight miles from
Cincinnati. 1t is anticipated that the
next census will find it in Jennings county

about 1850, rot far from the mouth of
the Missouri 1t is considered probable.
however, that it willnever 90 ST far west

which are only adapted for mining and
grazing pursuits. and will support but
scanty population. The increase in the
region reyond the Mississippi, after :ne
close of the present century, may not
much more than counterbalance that Of
the rest of the country. in which case
the centre of population will remain al.

Why People Scratch the Head When
Puzzled,

4 recent number of the Cofemporary
Rstis~ contains an article hy Dr. Er1tn-
ton, which explains sutne curious pae-
nomena which, though exceedingly com
mon, have net before received attention.
| The anatomist is familiar with the fact
that there are two large nerves Of Sensa-
ton known rs the ''iiith pair, whicE are
distributed to the top of the head AID
mouth. bosa and eyes. THESE nerves are
closely connected with thc nerves which
control the action of the heart and of the
blood vessels. BY their stimulation, the
healt'S action may be Increased This
explains the fact that the application Of
cool water or cold air 20 the face is one OF
the best means oi reYiYln.; a person who

The high prices of meat which have
prevailed Tor SouIo time cannot possibly
last mitch longer. owing TO the Increased
supplies coming in from the plains. The
New York CommerciW Bulletin states
that already quotations at Chicago have
tumbled 80 cents to 81 per 100. Within
the past few DAYS several large droves
have arrived iii that market. Advices
from the plains are all to the effect that
the cattle were never in better condition
at this stage of the year, and that the
number TO he marketed is much larger
than ever before. Estimates Of the in-
crease vary from Il to 80 per cent and
good authorities think it safe to place it
at fully 20 per cent. During the season,
which ends about November list, the
Chicago Tribrne calculates that the mar
kct will probably receive not less than
Ia. 900 head of plains cattle, and as the
receipts of native grass cattle also bid
fair t" be larger than ever before, there
would seem 70 Gc substantial reasons for
anticipating comparatively low-priced
beef during the remainder of the year.

FEELING IN SEVERED LIMBS.

Tile feet of Josiah West, who met with
that terrible accident on the railroad 4
few days ago, were taken by his wife 10
FremCat, n. H., for burial. When the
unfortunate man regained CONSCIOUSNESS
at the hospital tho morning following the
loss Of his limbs he complained that Iii
toes panied him great deal: that they
seemed badly crampad, and he requested
that some one move them for him. y
that time the feet were tied in bag and
the hospital people did not know where
they were 10 be found.
1t seems simply incredible that the po-
sition or condition of q severed member
of persons body should affect in the
least the sehsbilities OF the owner; but
suffice 1t to say that the undertaken with
when the writer conver5cd afTirms that
he personally knows of numerous case
where persons who have lost limb de-
ciared they felt pain from an awkward
position which the member was in. He
cited an instance Of man who lost am
arrl last Fall. Alter being amputatcd il
was sent to the undertakcr'S for burial.
1t was placed in box. the back OF the
hand being down, remaining in this posi-
tioa for several hours. The owner OF the
severed member during that time eXpcr-
fenced pain in the arm, which grew SO
au6earable that at last he asked friend
10 70 TO the undertakerS and see about
the limb. This was at J.4j in the after
noon. The friend was busy and did not
start off for half an hour, and during
that time tho pain had ceased and the
wounded man said he need not go. He
went however, and found that the under
taker had inst finished caring for the
arm; that it had been placed in an easy
and natural position in the box. The
time when the arm was changed from
the aw liward position to the latter cC.n-
cided exactly with the time when the
owneg had felt the pain leave him. When
the friend reported to the unfortunate
man, he (the latter said he knew Just
how the arm was placed, that he could
feel its position and correct ly describe
the same.
Another case cited by the undertaken
vas all,ut a man who lost an arm above
,i.o CHOW. me member was given to
the undertaken aud buried. The man
subsequently went 10 Lawrence to live.
Abort Il year after the accident he paid
tue undertaken visit and told him his
arm IL. Il long time had panied him
grgat deal, that the fingers seemed
crampcd and that he wanted to see the
buried member, Accordingly it was dug
mp and examined, and, strange to say,
vas 1oRnl % have the fingers tightly
tngngn up toward the palm. as the man
had said they felt to him. The fingers
were Strengthened and the arm consigned
again to the ground and no more trouble
was experienced from it.

While little Charl ley Lisieski and about a

steam boiler about, last Thursday. near the
wedge house, he fell and was caught under
the boiler which weighs about 200 pounds.
Fortunately the speed at which 1t WAS roll

him, or he would have been instantly Killed.
As 1t was, he was severely injured In one
