THE RECORD is cndcavorins to obtain
reliable statement of the crop product
of the county, and also the number of
acres of prairie broken this season. Al
though comparatively few acres have yet
been cultivated in Emmons, still a report
Of the average per acre, weight Of grain.
ETC., will, We believe, compare favorably
with any in the territory. There has
been large amount of breaking done,
every acre of which is factor conducive
to the general welfare, and we-woultl
like to give the names of the parties on
whose land it has been done. Write out
the yield per acre of grain, flax, buck
wheat, potatoes. garden vcgetablcs-in
fact. any crop you may see fit to report
and also the number of acres broken this
season. Give name, quarter, section,
township, and range. Call at this office
and leave your report, or send it in by
mail. We trust this matter will not be
neglected.

Grand Forks Herald: The potato mar
kct seems to be we'll supplied at present.
and the retail price is 85 cents per bushel.
But. while some individuals have fine
crops, as general thing there will not
be more than half crop, on account Of
failure to come up, and blight after the
new potatoes were about the size OF hick-
ory nuts. With shortage in some Of
the neighboring states, it is safe to pre-
dict that potstoes will be worth ii per

Six Distinguished Heads.

POst-Dispatch.
There are a half-dozen men in the
House who attract the attention of all
lookers-on when the tariff is mentioned
They are Morrison, Hurd and Carlisle on
the one side, and Randall, Mckinley, and
Kelley on the other. Randall attracts
more attention from the galleries and
among those on the floor just now than
any other man in the House. There are
men in the House who are always talking
and are never heard. Mr.. Randall is
heard whenever he talks, and felt often
when he does not. The usual question,
when a stranger takes his seat in the gal
lery, is, (which is Randall?' The next
one asked for is usually Morrison; then,
as the glance wanders to the minority
side, he wants to see Kelly and McKin-
ley.
In nsome respects these great tariff think
ers are alike. There is one popularity
observable in most of them, the shape of
the head. Hurd has a head as round as
bullet. McKinIey's head is much like
Hurd's. Morrison is, too, a round-head-
ed fellow, though his head is buried in
such mussy lot of hair that it is difficult
to tell much what it is like. Morrison
and Kelly are the only ones of the distin-
guished tariff sextet who wear whiskers.
Randall, Mckinley, and Carlisle are alb
solutely smooth faced, while Hurd sports
heavy black moustache. Randalls head
is much after the type of McKinley's,
though not SO strongly marked as to
roundness. Carlisle's shows less of this
popularity, and Kelley's is anything but
round.

The Disease of Money Counters.

A Washington correspondent, visiting
the treasury department, noticed that
nancy of the women employed in count
ing bank notes looked i'll, and had sores
upon their hands Or heads The superin-
tendent gave the following account of the
trouble:
''Very few" he said, ''who spent any
considerable time in counting money es-
cape the sores. They generally appear
first on their hands, but frequently they
break out on the head, and sometimes
the eyes are affected. We can do moth
ing to prevent this. All of the ladies
take the greatest care of themselves in
their work. but sooner or later they are
afflicted with sores. The direct cause of
the sores is the arsenic employed in the
manufacture of the money. If the skin
is the least abraded, and the arsenic gets
under the flesh, sore will appear the
next morning. The habit that every one
has of putting the hand to the head and
face is the way the arsenic-poisoning is

stopping by the side of young lady and
picking up a glass vessel containing a
sponge, this sponge is wet, and is used
to moisten the fingers while counting the
money. You see how black it is. That's
arsenic. Every morning new piece of
sponge is placed on the desk of each en-
ploye, but before the day is over it is as
black as this. I have known half a
dozen cases where ladies have been COM
PEELED to resign their positions There
are three ladies who were here six years
before they were afflicted with sores.
About three months ago they were so
visited by them that they had to quit
work. They have been away ever since,
and the physicians certificate in each
case says that their blood is poisoned with
arsenic

What it Signified.

A railroad attache at East Buffalo was
walking around the yards one day, when
he espied a brakeman examining the
tracks. He thought it would be a good
idea too test this brakeman as to what he
knew with reference to the running of
trains, etc, and the first question he
asked him was:
Suppose I should be walking down
this track, and a train was coming up be-
hind me, and the engineer would blow
his whistle three times, what would that
signify"
oh" replied the brakeman, calmly,
that signifies there is a COW on the
track"
There We're no more questions asked.

authority claims that its disappearance is
a fixed process of evolution. 1t says:
The chestnut tree is going, just as all
trees of a spongy inferior fiber must go
before such stout, close-fibered trees as
the oak. In prehistoric times the earth
was covered with a rank, quick growth
that yielded as the ages went on to the
compacter and stouter trees. 1t is in the
operation of the same law that the chest
