from one of the Pennsylvania oil wells.

to be lighted with the gas. The owner
of the factory, not knowing whether

pipes, so they bored logs and under

the pipes were all laid the gas would
not pass through them, in spite of the
application of enormous pressure. 1t
was evident that there was something
wrong. Then it leaked out that some
rivals had plugged the pipes with
wooden plugs. When they got the
pipes clear they tried the experiment
offorcing an India rubber ball through.
Strange and almost incredible as it
may appear, the ball travelled the en-
tire eighteen miles in just eighteen
seconds-faster than a mile second.
We expect to lay our iron pipe and
supply anybody that needs gas between
New York end the coal field. There
is no reason why one pipe should not
90 on to Boston and the east. 1t is
not anthracite gas, nor gas from an
oil well, nor natural gas, but gas made
in the ordinary way and distributed
in the ordinary way through very long
pipes.

Australian Customs.

When a girl is betrothed her mother
and aunts may not look at or speak to
the man for the rest of his life, but If
they meet him they squat down by the
wayside aud cover up their heads, and
when hc and they are obliged TO speak
in one another's presence they use a
peculiar lingo, which they call turn
tongue" This queer dialect is not
used for concealmeut, for everybody
understands it, aud some examples OF
it show that it has much in common
with the ordinary language. To give
an idea of the state of formality into
which life has come among these sup.
posed free.and.easy savagcs, mention
may be made of the duties of the brides
maid and groomsman. When the
married pair have been taken to the
new hat built for them, for the next
two months the groomsmen aud the
husband sleep on one side of the fire,
aud the bridesmaid and the wife on
the other, the new.married couple not
being allowed TO speak or 10 look at

look.around," and the pair in this EN-.
barrassing position are assanding joke
to the young people living near, who
amuse themselves by peeping in and

IF the Goyernment to near 5000 900.

Of the Government to near s200,000,-
600 year. But this is not all. The
pronigacy in squandering the public
domain by land grants to corporations

From schedule taken from the re.
cords of the Interior Department it
appears; that the total amount of these
land grants in acres comes to S296, 600,
900, and in square miles to 29I,75S.
The areas in square miles of the six
New England States, New York. New

land, Ohio and Indiana comes to 256,-
200, being 3S,55S square miles less
than the total amount of the public
domain squandered by the Republi.

upon corporations and monopolies.

1oUNG man, you arc smart, talented,

unable TO tell whether you are stand

these you are mistaken. If you cor.

Railroad Notes.

On Tuesday afternoon, to satisfy our
curiosity as TO how work upon the Little
Falls g. Dakota Railroad is progressing,
we made an inspection of this end of the
road bed. We found the grade completed
from short distance from town to The
river, and crossing the stream we were
surprised to see how rapidly 1G men, under
the skillful management of j. G. McCar-
thy, could transform narrow strip of the
hills and valleys into level road bed.
Mr.. Mccarthy is constantly increasing his
force and expects TO finish work under his
contract Oh this end of the road in time to
contract for other work farther on We
learn that other crews, some of them
equally large, are at work all along the
line between here>and Sank Centre The
road is to be completed as soon as possible.
The following from the Little Falls Tran
script shows how the work is progressing
Oh that end of the line:
lover IA thousand men have gone out to
work upon the Little Falls & Dakota rail
road between here and Sank Centre. A
force are new at work near the new bridge
above this village"
"Work is being pushed on the Little
Falls & Dakota now. The grading con-
tractors had expected to get their time ex'
tended on account of the cold and rainy
weather, but they have been notified that
if they don't put men enough on to finish
their contracts by June 1, the engineering
department will do SO. Randall now has
day and night crews working IN The big
cut six miles west Of here. Track laying
will commence in about two weeks"
The graders upon the St. Cloud and
Lake Traverse r. r. have been at work
for thee weeks between here and the foot
of Lake Whipple, and are making rapid
progress in that direction.
