Home Decoration.

A country house may oftentimes be
so prettily decorated as to be Il JOY to
its possessor, and home not in the
least behind city homes in tasteful ar
rangement. In fact, so many more
people in the country own their homes
than do the city people, that it seems
almost as if they, as matter OF course
must take pride in decorating and
adjoining them. We will not speak of
roofs and verandas, and vines, etc.,
which all come outside, and concerning
which the male members of the family
must be more or less consulted before
change can be made, but of the inter-
nal arrangements of wall, and wood
work, and ceiling. Generally we find
the plain whitewashed ceiling in the
country house. But it is no more
needful there than in the city. 1t can
be painted any color which contrasts
well with the woodwork and paper of
the walls Then with step-ladder,
paint, brush, and stencil-plate, any lady
can decorate her ceiling to suit herself.
If she feels that she has not the skill
though it does not take much-she
can purchase exceedingly fine paper
for the ceiling, designedin artistic pat
terms and colors, for moderate cost.
This, however, needs care in putting
on, that it may I've straight and smooth
and the pattern not twisted awry. /
think the paint and stoncil-plate far
easier to manage, and if simple
design has been chosen it ought not to
be considered a very great task to put
it on.

The Master RetirpS

as it announces in an authoritative form
the masters permanent and final retire
ment from playing in public. He had
been asked to play in Paris for the bene-
tit of inundated Alsace-Lorraine, but re-
piled: MIR. Director: In my dispatch
of this morning | have told you with re-
greet that can not take part in your
concert. Ii would be pleasant to play
and can not forget what | owe to

days. But y years of age disabled me
as pianist. For years have not prac-
ticed, and could not try my ten fingers

Wanted 10 Make IL Right.

Sergeant" said diminutive speci-
men of the street Arab, as he met an
officer wearing a sergeant's uniform on
the street about 10 O'clock last night,
''can you send an officer to guard some
property to-night?''
The urchin's clothes were tattered,
his face was dirty, and he was soak
ed with rain, but there was man
" air about him for all that. The
officer looked looked somewhat aston
ished at the request coming from such
strange source, but asked, kindly:
"What do you want an officer for, my
boy?n

tears filled his eyes, Il was leaning
against store window on Chestnut
street, and | guess | pushed too hard,
and the glass broke, and | couldn't
make anybody hear, so started as fast
as | could to find an officer, to keep
anybody from stealing the things in the
window. And, Sergeant, | have thirty

Cough at Oxford.

John b. Cough, in the course of his
lecturing life, has found himselfi in some
tight places; but his wit never failed to
bring him out safely.
An amusing story is told of him when
he went to Oxford, England, to address
the students ON temperance. The stud
ents sent word to Mr. Cough that they
''would not have temperance" and adj
but he went to the hall. For twenty
minutes, he spoke in pantomime amid
the deafening cat-calls of the boys.
Finally, he stepped forward, demand
ed British fair play, and offered to whip
every every one of the five hundred
students singly. This offer was loudly
cheered, and promptly accepted. and a
big six-foot athlete was sent up on the
stage. Cough, who is little man,
backed off as the big fellow approached
him, and exclaimed
my friends, you evidently misunder-
stand me. This is to be an intellectual
contest, not q prize-fight :
The students cheered again at this evil
dence of American shrewdness, and
ordered the debate to proceed. The

He at a disadvantage, but he quoted
Scripture, and reminded the plucky
lecturer that it was one of the Apostles
who wrote TO Timothy young man,
too, like themselves-to take little
wine for the stomach's sake, and for
other infirmities. The lads shouted
vociferously at this
Cough slowly examined the six-footer
from top to toe, and then said, .My
friends look at this athlete, this fellow
with muscles like steel, who can WELD
the club of Hercules, who can bend an
English yeoman's bow, who could knock
down an OK with the blow of hammer
He is the personification of health and
strength. but he thinks he needs little
wine for his stomach's sake!'
Coughs inimitable manner of saying
this had tremendous effect. The
students fairly yelled with delight, and
their defeated champion retreated.
Another was sent up. lie was the
intellectual giant of his class, in con-
tradistinction to the six-footer. He,
with much self-coniidence, made fin
ished argument for liquor drinking,
based on Christ's changing the water
into wine at the wedding feast. His
comrades cheered him to the echo, and
thought his argument unanswerable,

How He Met the MARQUIS.

Mr.. John Reed, farmer in Nebraska,
writes to paper in Scotland, as follows:
| have had visit from the Marquis of
Lorne, the Governor-General of Canada.
Along with him was the Princess Louise
and suite, who were on tour through
the country to the Rocky Mountains.
They came up to my house, and stayed
for three hours, and the Princess took
sketch of my whole place-farm, house,
stabling, wire fence, and all the trees |
had planted three years since. The
Marquis and the Princess both shook
hands with me when they came up,
but did not say who they were for more
than hour He asked where we came
from. | told him came from Kilwin-
ming, Ayrshire, Scotland. He said he
was countryman of mine, and lady
Campbell, his sister, was country
woman of mine. So then he asked me
how long | had been in this country:
so | told him had been six years; and
he asked me il the farm was in cult
vation when | came to it. | said no,
it was all wild prairie. | asked him
how long he had been in this country
He said he had been four years.
said:-Where have you been putting

he had been in Canada. have large

around that room, and then he said:
You have got my wife.s brother here.
| said: Your wife's brother? Do you
know who that is, sir? Yes, | do, he
said. Well, ran out of the house to
look at the Princess Louise; for had
seen her before. Then | said-Good
Lord, is it possible! am talking with
the Marquis of Lorne and don't know
it. Then / was ashamed of myself,
after the way | had spoken to him, and
he laughed at me and told me that he
was the Governor-General of Canada.
Then he asked me what family | had.
| said / had two sons here, Is and 20
years old. Then said he, IF YOU

WOman's Rights i'm Dakota.

Dakota fever is infectious, and num-
Der of young ladies have become sadly
affected by it. This aflliction has been
the means in some instances of placing
the fair ones in independent circum-
stances, where otherwise they would be
working in some mental capacity.
An instance known to the readers of
The Star is that of young widow who
came to Lisbon, took presumption
claim to 100 acres, proved up and got
title to her land, then took another
claim under the homestead law of 100
acres more, on which she is now liv-
ing; and as the possessor of 800 acres
of the richest soil under Gods footstool
she is of course worth having, and
several bachelors are glazing at each
other with fire in their eyes and hatred
in their hearts toward their rivals.
In Lisbon there are not a few servant
girls who have taken up claims and in
tend to cultivate them by contract; pro-
badly any one of them could realize
from $500 to $3.50 each TO. their land.
One young lady, who is clerklng in one
of the stores in town, is the possessor of
number of town lots in addition to
several quarter sections of land. The
land is worth probably $25 an acre, but
she came into possession of it by TAX
ing advantage of the preemption, home
stead and tree claim laws. Her town
lots were bought when prices were low
from the proceeds of her salary, and
have now advanced to nearly ten times
the price she paid for them
Another young lady who took up u
presumption claim last fall has the salts
faction of knowing that a railroad sur
yey has since been made across it, and
it is not at all improbable that she may
yet become the owner of town site
worth from $50, 900 to 100000. 1t is a
very poor town site that is not worth
the former sum, $50 lots at 5000 each
making that amount. A quarter section
of land will make about 600 ordinary
town lots, allowing for streets and ave-
nues.
The instances above recited are those
indigenous to Ransom county, aid
every county in Dakota has similar
number of cases to record. If the thou
sands of Woodworking girls in the east
could only be helped to emigrate to
Dakota, they would find plenty of en-
ployment at high wages, besides hav-
ing an opportunity of taking up land
that in few months will make them
small capitalists. Lisbon Dakota Star.
