In behalf of Dakota's industrious
delegate the Ipswich (Eimnnds county,
Bulletin says:
Delegate Raymond is certainly exert
ing himself in behalf of Dakota's inter.
est in Washington. The dispatches
every day make mention OF some beneti.
cent measure which he has introduced
and urged to passage. His bill to pro-
vide for additional judges in Dakota,
which, for some unaccountable reason,
was so roughly handled in the senate,
promises to be more successful in the
house of representatives. His bill to
increase the Dakota Legislature has
passed the house, and bids fair to become
law before the next election. The bill
will double the present representation,
giving each district four members of the
house and two of the council, making in
each body forty-eight and twenty-four
members respectively. These are two OF
the most important measures which
Delegate Raymond has urged, but they
are not the only ones by any means.

There are unmistakable surface indi-
cations that q considerable portion of the
north is not in sympathy with the gang
of corruptionists who perpetrated the
capital real estate speculation. There ls
evidently strong sentiment throughout
the Red river valley in opposition to the
efforts Of that gang, and it will develop
in proper time.

A Surprise to those Conversant with the
Case.
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1884-08-20
Deafening Floors.

The transmission of sound between
two contiguous stories of building
oftentimes becomes annoying to those
occupying the lower story. AS the
power Of solid body to transmit
sound is in proportion to it's density, it
is q matter of easy correction, in most
cases similar to the above, when under
taken at the time of construction.
The old and primitive method of de-
posting quantity of wet mortar on
rough boards between the floor beams,
ETC., has been in many cases quite as
bad as the disease. The transmission
of sound was lessened in degree. but
the dampness of the mortar was alb
sorbed by the contiguous lumber, and
sooner or later produced decay-dry
rot. The use of sawdust is only pal
liation, for it is likely, after a time, to
part with it. It also furnishes mice
and rats splendid material for nest
ing. Wool felt, is an enduring, elas-
tic material, and when laid in strips
equal to the width and top of the floor
beams, the flooring, when laid, is uni
formly separated from the direct sound
conductors to the story below. Use
the felt in thickness of a quarter to a
third of an inch. The method of inter-
posing layer of mineral wool between
the under and upper floors is a good
one. On top of the first floor, narrow
strips, 2x2 inches are placed, sixteen to
twenty inches apart, and the immedi-
ate spaces filed with mineral wool,
placed ia loosely not packed and the
layer OF floor nailed in position. By
this method, warm, mufiied and
partially fre-proof floor is secured,
without the use of materials to produce
dry-rot, or become the nesting place
for Yermin.

Consistency in the Lime Kiln Club.

Giveadam Jones then offered reso-
luton to the effect that the Committee
on Science and Anatomy be instructed
to enter series of experiments to
prove the effects of adulterated food
and drink on the human system, and
suggested as follows:
That Trustee Pullback be expert
mented on with coffee. adulterated
with beans, peas. corn, rye, burnt
leather and sawdust.
That Pickles Smith offer himself - q
sacrifice on the altar of lager beer
brewed from rice and adulterated with
six kinds of Stops.
That Elder Toots tackle brown
sugar. adulterated with sand, glucose,
and Indian meal.
That Waydown Bebee imbibe aquart
. of champagne made from sour cider,
brown sugar, acids, molasses, and
three kinds of fizz.
That Judge Cadaver tackle q tum-
bier of the ''pure currant jelly" made
of gelatine. sugar, acids, and mashed
potato.
The resolution was supported by q
dozen different members, but the presi-
dent waved them down, and said:
II shall declar' de resolushun out of
order. Consistency am jewel. When

adulterate our lime wild within or

Shoe Cutting in America.

The American system OF shoe.manu-
featuring is not q little surprising to
the English workman on his arrival in
the States, writes an English shoe-cut-.
ter to The Boot and Shoe Trade journal.
i have worked at the shoe business in
London and many other places in En-
gland, but have never seen 3 pair Of
boots go through SO many hands as
they do in an American factory. When
| arrived here and applied for q situa-
ton as o clicker, ! was ordered to see
the foreman, or boss. as he is always
termed. This official stood and looked
me straight in the face in somewhat
puzzled manner, and asked me what a
clicker was. / told him clicker was
= workman who cut the uppers, when
he said. with . laugh: You are a
shoe-cutter! Where the ID did you
hear them called clickersp' Iexplain-
ed, and was eventually hired at SIS per
week. the hours being fifty-nine per
week-from z o'clock in the morning
till II. there being then one hour for
dinner, after which work goes on till
six o'clock, except on Saturdays, when
work is finished at o'clock. The fac
tOlleS mere are generally we'll QUILT and
well ventilated structures, and, as in
England, the cutters generally getting
the best rooms in the factory. AL
though better money is earned here,
the situations are not so permanent.
In great many cases man will have
eight or ten weeks work, then go on
half time, or, in great many cases, is
discharged and has to walk the streets
for few weeks. Cutting out is, at the
same time, considered the best branch
in the trade; But, although was hired
at $15 per week, there are great
many who do not get more than $40,
while some will get SIS or 500. Tho
prices vary according to town or class
Of work. Trimming cutters will earn
from IS to $12 per week, and very sell
dom is an outside cutter seen to be
trimming his own work.

that the sake, or chimpanzee, is ex-
'ceedingly abundant on the west coast

on slight provocation and are feared by
the natives more than lion. The Az.

about four feet three inches, but the
shoulders are very broad, the arms and

ample and massive. Tho nest of the
sake is a structure of broken boughs in

This fan-tail l consider the finest speci-
men of the pigeon possess = and, as
if to do honor to the fancier for his
compliment, the bird inflated its neck
and cooed tenderly as it went round
and round in circle and kept moving
its hsad as though picking up food.
That bird and its mate cost M $40.
and I do not care about selling them as
would prefer keeping them myself
The bird was white, with a black
head and tail, the latter being its chief
beauty. The fan was double and the
tail had thirty feathers in it, which
stood erect and possessed singular
trembling motion peculiar to this bird.
They are. unfortunately, awkward
