& Manitoba railroad company. The de.
cision brings in the point that the act of
the state Legislature, approved Marcn 1,
1888, giving To the railroad COMPANY an
extension of time in which to complete the
road, but making a reservation that all
actual settlers then upon lands of
the company should be protected
in their individual rights to
hold the same, is recognized by the govern
ment as excepting said tracts thus occupied
from the operations of the grant, and giving
TO sach settlers the privilege of entering the
same as a homestead and, after residence,
receiving patent from the government. THIS
will! cover many cases along the line of the
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railway.
Those having settled upon railroad land
previous to March, 1887, and having filled
the Obligations of residence which would
have been required of them by homestead
entry, if the same land were not approved
to the railroad company, can hold the
same by entry at the land office of their
district.

Women Developing Their Muscle.

A New York correspondent writes ::
There is swell gymnasium for women,
and suppose men would laugh at the
exercises, Just as they heartlessly do when
a girl attempts to throw ball. The ex-
ercises consist largely of calisthenics-
wheeling, dumb bells, percussion, and
the like. The dumb bell exercises are
vigorous and graceful. AS piano gives
the measure and drum the particular
emphasis, the gymnasts perform difficult
figures with unison and precision. The
solid phalanx, novel movement, is
formed by double circles of girls advanc-
ing quickly toward the center until a
close body is formed, the girls being
united in the smallest conceivable space
and there performing gymnastic postur-
ings. Such lump of active loyeliness
would make a mans eyes glisten, but no
masculine gaze is permitted.
The percussion exercise is odd. The
rows of performers are divided into
groups of two, and each one of the two
percussed the other on arms, legs, breast
and back with quick, decisive strokes to
the music. Indian club-swinging is a
button-snapping, seam-opening sort of
exercise, and only few of the girls are
adopts at it. AT class exercise saw
eleven of these fair athletes lightly dane
ing around the room. Stopping for a
moment to take full breath, they then
swung the clubs with remarkable
strength and ease. Running jumps are
possible to onlya few. | have, however,
seen the bar raised to a height of four
feet and lightly cleared Others easily
made their way through the air by
means of suspended rings.
The woman professor in charge of the
gymnasium teaches the pupils how to
walk. There is style of walk sane
toned by fashion, the same as there are
rules in dress. Instead of assuming a
languid, willowy movement and inclining
the body forward, which used to be the
style, the New York girls are going to
the other extreme The aim now is to
march like diminutive grenadiers.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Satire lies about men of letters during
their life and serves as veil after their
death.
Modesty has great advantages; it en-
hances beauty and serves as a veil to un-
comeliness
What is mine, even to my life, is hers
| love; but the secret of my friend Is not
mine, says Sir Philip Sidney.
Every MIN has three characters: that
which he exhibits, that which he has and
that which he thinks he has.
Help others and you relieve yourself.
Go out and drive away the cloud from a
distressed friends brow, and you will re-
turn with lighter heart
There are three classes into which al
the women past seventy are to be divided
First, that dear old soul; second, that
old woman; and third, that old witch.
There is nothing which helps us SC
much to feel that our lives have been
, worth living as the humble but grateful
! consciousness that we have helped some
other soul to fulfill its destiny.
The great moments of life are but mo
ments like the others. Your doom i;
spoken in word or two. A single lool
! from the eyes, mere pressure of the
hand may decide it; or of the lips, though
they cannot speak.

How Sunset Cox Wrote "Why We
Laugh"

81 will tell you, my boy, but you must
not give me away, the true story of
why We Laugh, and how it came to be
written" said Sunset" Cox, confidingly,
to jovial companion, recently, in New
York, who had been laughing at one of
the witty stories that the New York Con-
gresham delights IN telling. 81 had
occasion few years ago to look through
some old Congressional Globes, and I came
across many sparkling pieces of wit in
the speeches of Senators and members of
the House. In those days when a speech
called forth applause or laughter the
fact was not ed in parentheses The idea
occurred to me that many choice and
witty sayings might be culled out Of the
Globes and Records. | had very bright
and educated colored man in my employ
at the time, and put him to work looking
through the Congressional Globes with in
structions to scan every page, and when
ever he found the words applause or
laughter, to mark the page. Ny order
was carried out, and when my sable
brother had finished his labors l had the
material and foundation for Why We
Laugh"

LAWYERS Privileges.

Lawyers" says suffering citizen,
"are a wonderfully privileged class.
Put yourself on the witness stand, for
example. You are an average citizen.
You try to pay your obligations. You
attend to business. You are as honest
as your fellows. You take a glass of
beer now and then, and you know a
pretty woman when you see her, and
you wouldn't be decent fellow if you
didn't. But the minute you get on the
witness stand, with a modern lawyer
in front of you, you begin to think that
you are the biggest scOundrel in the
world. The lawyer will make you out
thief, liar, drunkard, a libertine,
an atheist, and everything else that's
bad. He may ask you if you ever
served term in the penitentiary. OF
course, at this the opposing counsel
objects, and then the counsel says,
We'll, [ don't press that question: and
so you, the poor witness, are left, half
the audience thinking that you have
been in the penitentiary. If you are a
new conner to the place, with only a
year or two of residence, you are sure
to be disgraced. If you appeal to the
judge, he will tell you that you are not
obliged to criminate yourself, etc. A
cOwardly lawyer may abuse and brow
beat brave man ON the witness stand,
and there is no redress for the witness.
If he avenges his wrong outside the
courthouse, and knocks his prosecutor
down, the brave man is sent to Jail, for
the members of the bar stand together
like band of bandits. 1t is not alone
in the courts that lawyers have a
license that makes them a privileged
class. There is scarcely anything that
lawyer can't do under the cover of
his diploma. He can arrange conspi-
racy, perjury, bribery. and a dozen
crimes, for which he cannot be pun
ished, because he is lawyer-'counsel.
He can take fee for anything. If il
is crooked, he is all right, because he is
counsel If a journalist should dc
the same things, he would be sent tC
the penitentiary."
