Dakota's staunch friend, the Chicago
Inter.O Ocean, contains . long editorial
(Which We reproduos) giving correct
version OF the recent constitutional case
which was tested before the people. It
shows = conclusively as figures can show
anything, that the vote Was larger than
the average vote upon such documents
and that the majority was greater Tin
proportion to the vote) than the majori-
ties in most OF the states. The Inter.
Ocean gives the population, vote aud
majority in fourteen states which have
acted upon constitutions submitted to
the psople aud demonstrates the fact
that Dakota voters went more generally
to the polls than is the habit of the
voters of the states upon similar occa-
sions. The cause of light vote when
constitutional subject is presented alone
is apparent. There is nothing in the
way Of personal contest to attract the
interest and enthusiasm Of the masses
and induce them to quit their work and
60 to the polls. The excellent majority
received in favor of the Dakota docu
nent is . tit cause for oongratulation.
It was the constitution against the field
and every man who fsncied hs detected
flaw in that document was encouraged
by the oppositaon to stir up an antag-
onism against 1t. The money of the op.
position was freely used to effect . de-

observed 1t on other occasions, and later in
the season, and noted that it had more color
than in this country, aud held its bloom
longer. All grains and grasses ripen slower
there than here, the season Is so much longer
and cooler. The pink and ruddy tnts are
more common in the flowers also. The
bloom Of the blackberry Is often of decided
pink, and certain white, umbelliferous plants,
like yarrow, have now and then rosy tinge.
The little white daisy ('.gowan," the Scotch
call it) is tipped with crimson, foretellng the
scarlet poppies, with which the grain fields
will by and by be splashed. Prunella self

LAKE ATHABASCA.
A Place Where People Live Together
without Money.

Captain Dawson, who is in command Of
one of the British circumpolar expeditions,
gives in Nature this picture of river and lake
Athabasca. On July %, 1882, he writes:
ave reached the Athabasca, a splendid
river, usually half mile in width, some
times more. Its course Is pretty straight to
the north, so we often had view of some
fifteen miles or so down the valley. As We
drIfted down the river, the pines began TO
give place to poplar, the poplar to willow,
the willow to reeds, till at last we saw lake
Athabasca before us, rocky coast to the
north, and to the east water as far as the eye
could reach. A fresh breeze took us across
the lake in two hours, and we received a
hospitable welcome at Fort Chpewaian, to-
gether with all sorts OF luxuries that had be.
come quite strange to us.
"This is quite a large place; there are
about dozen houses, two churches, two
bishops, q sisterhood and some missionaries.
The country Is rocky and most desolate. To
the south and west the great lake stretches
away to the horizon, and the land view is
composed of reddish granite, no soil, plants
grow here and there out of occasional crew.
ces, and few stunted frs scattered about.
There are woods in the valleys, but the trees
are Of no size. No sound breaks the still.
ness but the weird cry of the loon. sort of
maniacal laugh that is almost wall; and
the solitude is heightened by the reflection
that for 1000 miles north, south, east, and
west all Is wilderness. Toward the lake the
view is pretty, as there are many islands
covered with pines.
at is curious living together without
money, as one does In this country. Every
thing is done by barter, the unit of value be-
Ing skin; the average value of beaver
skin Is said to be worth twenty ducks, or
forty white6sh, or twenty plugs Of tobacco,
SO that for plug of tobacco (half an ounce)
one can get duck or two whitefsh, large
fish about two feet long and very good eat
ing. This place, like all other habltaitons
In the northwest, swarms with large, wolf
like dogs. These are used In the winter for
drawing carrioles, and team Of four dogs
will draw 600 pounds or more. The Indians
use them, too, in summer, as pack animals"

From Sermon by Rev. Charles II. Cation.
There are three elements that combine to
make q true marriage: health, love, and
sympathetic companionship. No man or
woman physically weak should marry, and
thus entail suffering on others. Love does
not mean passion; 1t Is based on understand.
ing. Men and women should know each
other behind the curtain, as 1t were, before
marriage. Unhappy lives often result from
imperfect knowledge before marriage of the
characteristics of the partner in the contract.
Love makes sacrifices; passion never. No
husband or wife has ever known true bappi.
ness until after the birth Of . child. Men
aud women on the plane of marriage stand
equals. There should be sympathetic COM
papionship In the sense that an irrelieious
person should not marry one who Is relig-
iously inclined, or ali unintellectual person
one who is Of the opposite taste. There
should be sympathy and fellowship between
husband and wife in ell the pursuits of life.

LEARNING HOW TO SAVE LIVES,
A Class of Firemen Drilled In the Pompjer
System.
Netr York Star.

New York Star.
Yesterday Captain Christopher Hoell, OF
st. Louis, gave his class Of life saving fire
men drill In handling scaling ladders and
in certain muscular motion 10 develop
strength and steadiness. The scaling lad.
ders are from sixteen to twenty feet long,
and weigh from twenty-five to twenty eigh bit
pounds. They are formed of one long strip
of hardwood, with cross-pieces for the feet,
and provided at the upper end with teeth at
intervals, to hook over window sills or any
| other suitable place. With ladder such as
this fireman can reach the top of ten
story building In less than half minute.
The belt which is to be worn is a curiosity
1t is composed of strong canvas, about six or
eight inches broad, and has three strong
buckles In front to secure 1t around the body.
To this belt are attached a small ak with a
spike head, two strong staples for driving
into wood or the wall, to fasten the life line
to In case Of necessity, and large spring
hook, perhaps eight inches in diameter,
which Is attached 10 the middle of the belt
In front. The fireman also carries life line.
Thus equipped he can ascend the outside Of
building, enter a window, tie a man or
woman to his life liue, take two or three
turns of the line around his hook and brac.
Ing himself against the window, can lower q
person weighing 800 pounds from a six story
window with perfect safety, in about three
or four seconds. The frsmen themselves
are very enthusiastic over the new methods
and take great pains to learn.
