Wonderful Growth Of Dakota.

The growth of Dakota during the last tive
or three years has probably surpassed any
thing in the history of the country. In the

sales jumped in 1882 to about 1850, OOt
acres. This total was doubled in 1855, and
increase Of about one-fourth over those
enormous figures. Towns spring up almost
in a day, and develop into considerable cities
within a year. The population increases with
great rapidity. The number of homesteada
taken up during the last year was $4,000, each

Growth of Human Beings.

The Investigations Of the Anthropo-
metric committee of the British associa-
tion have made more or less clear several
interesting facts respecting the rate of
growth of the two sexes. The period of
most rapid growth is from birth to five
years of age, and then both sexes grow
alike, the girls being little shorter and
lighter than the boys. From five to ten
the boys grow little faster than the
girls, but from ten to fifteen years the
girls grow the fastest, and at between
eleven and half and fourteen and half
years old, are actually taller, and from
twelve and half to fifteen and half
are heavier than the boys. The boys,
however, take the lead between fifteen
and twenty years, and grow at first rap
idly, but afterwards slower, and com
plete their growth at about twenty-three
years, while girls grow very slowly after
fifteen years of age, and attain their
full stature at about the twentieth year.
The tracings and tables show slow
but steady increase of stature up to the
fiftieth year, and a more rapid increase
in weight up to the sixtieth year in men
but the statistics of women are too few
after the age of twenty-three to deter
mins the stature and weight of their
sex at the more advanced periods of
life. The fact that man continues to
grow in stature up to his fiftieth year
eontradicts the popular notions on the
subject; according to which he ceases
to grow before reaching half that age.

A NIasher Routed.

A lady, young and handsomely
dressed, entered a Woodward avenue
car and sat down opposite a passenger
who had the appearance of gentleman,
but soon showed himself to be that con-
temptible creature, a masher. He took
no notes on time, but at once proceeded
to mash; he stared, ogled, smiled insnu-
atingly and made a second-class fool of
himself at sight. The lady was discon,
posed. She seized her parasol and every
one present hoped she was about to mash
the masher.
But she simply raised the parasol and
spread it in his face. Under its protect
ing screen she calmly continued on her
way, but the chagrined masher got out
at the next crossing and made himself
scarce.
When he was gone the lady closed her
parasol and said: "I have heard of
frightening wild beasts by such weapon
opened suddenly in their faces, and
find it serves as good purpose with
tame ones"
The passengers all applauded.- De

The Story of a Great Mine.

The owner of the Mala Noche (bad
night mine was in his time the richest
man in Northern Mexico. The mine at
the surface paid little or nothing, and
after the owner had sunk his own CAPT
tai he continued working it with Dor
rowed money until his credit was gone
and things had arrived at such pass
that the mine was in danger of being
seized and himself thrown into prison.
He then resolved to work it one week
longer, and if nothing was struck to run
away. The week passed and nothing
was struck. On the afternoon of the last
day he ordered his horses brought for
flight at daybreak. He passed the night,
this "mala noche," between hope and
despair, when just before daylight a
miner came from the mine bringing a
gallo" "a piece of rich rock aud the
news that bonanza had been struck.
The bonanza proved to be an immense
one. In memory of that night the mine
was called Mala Noche. = Globe Democrat.

The Story of q Love Song.

Upon one of the many hills surround
ing this old Ohio city, says letter from
GAINESVILLE to the New York Sun, is
beautiful homestead which overlooks the
smoky expanse of the town and the shin
ing course of the Muskingum river.
Thirty years ago young preacher walked
down the hill from this home heavy at
heart and weary of the world. Two
years before he had come to GAINESVILLE
fresh from the old collegian institution in
Columbus as the Rev. II. D. L. Webster.
He soon fell in love with Ella Bloxom,
the daughter of Judge Bloxom, who sang
in the choir of his church. He was priv
ileged as pastor to call upon his fair
chorister at the home of her married sis
ter, Mrs. Henry Blandy. The young, pen
niless preacher proposed marriage TO her,
and was rejected. The refusal was given
in kind though firm manner, and the
young man persuaded himself that his
suit was denied because of his poverty
and the pride of the girls family. He
left GAINESVILLE, for he could not be at
peace where the woman he loved was
shining in society.
In 1856 he moved to Racine, and soon
afterward wrote q song and gave it to j.
P. Webster, the composer. This song was
the once popular "Lorena" In it Web
ster wrote the sentiments of his heart to
the memory of the woman he had loved.
People who remember the songs of twenty
years ago will readily recall the opening
lines
The years creep slowly by, Lorena,
The snow is on the grass again,
The suns low down the sky, LOrena,
The frost CLEANS where the fow'rs have
been;
But the heart throbs on as warmly now
AS when the summer days were nigh.
Oh the sun can never dip so low
Adown affections cloudless sky.
In the days of the war the song took
a firm hold on the popular fancy. Soldiers
in the camps of both armies sang the
plaintive verses. 1t was the "Annie
Laurie of America. The name "Lor-
ena" was given to all sorts of things,
and the young ladies of to day respond
to the same musical name which senti-
mental mothers of that time bestowed
upon them.
When it became known that Webster
wrote the song many of his acquaintance
in GAINESVILLE remembered his love affair
there, and concluded at once that Ella
Bloxom was the original of Lorena.
Miss Bloxom was married to William w.
Johnston, young lawyer of Ironton,
who had been educated in GAINESVILLE,
and who is now the chief justice of Ohio
and the Republican candidate for select
man. Mr. Webster, who has drifted
about from pastorate to pastorate, was
recently stationed in Oak Grove. He
also is married, having now wife and
several children.

about with a smile.

Artemus Wards Picture.

Artemus Ward had a poorly painted
panorama. When anything especially
poor came up he would look admiringly
at it, and then with look of reproach to
the audience remark: "This picture is a

done in petroleum. 1t is by the old mas
ters. 1t was the last they did before dy-
ing. They did this and then expired.

again. Then pointing to some known
splashes of paint: "These are intended

artist told me so. After two years he
came to me and said: Mr. Ward, can
not conceal it from you any longer. They
are horses" +"

sort of way. As have said, he was of
very investigating turn of mind. He
would sit bY hens nest half an hour,
waiting for the hen to get through lay

wagged his tail with graceful easy mo-

bold, he stuck his nose down among the
crabs and picked large one up He did
not intend to pick it up so suddenly;
it was all the crabs doing. 1t got one of
its claws tangled somehow with Philos-

Early American COinasA.

The earliest coinage that can be called
American, in the sense of Anglo -Ameri-
can, was ordered by the original Virginia
company, only five years after the found
ing of Jamestown. The coins were minted
at oomers islands, now known as the
Bermudas. For long while the stand
ard currency of Virginia was tobacco, as
in many Of the carly settlements of the
Northwest it was beaver skins. The ac-
counts of the fur traders and pioneers in
their dealings with the Indians were
kept in beaver skins instead of dollars
until some years after the opening of this
century, and in some parts Of the Domin-
ion of Canada they are still kept so. In
1915 the assembly of the Virginia col
ony, after preamble reciting that cit
had maturely weighed and consideredhow
advantageous quoine would be to this
colony, and the great wants and miseries
which do daily happen unto it by the
sole dependency upon tobacco" pro-
vided for the issue of copper coins of
the denomination of twopence, three
pence, sixpence and ninepense; but this
law was never carried into effect, so the
first colonial coinage of this country was
that struck off by Massachusetts under
the order of the general court of that
colony, passed May 81, 1866, creating a
ttrAint hov,-oon s6 Dovton, 80. 4 pro v: ei..,
for the mintage of "12 pence, pence
and pence pieces, which shall be for
forme Hiatt, and stamped on the one side
with N. E., and on the other side with
XIId., VId., and Hid, according to the
value of each piece" In 1862, from this
same mint, appeared the famous "pine
tree shillings," which were two-penny
pieces. This mint was maintained for
thirty -four years, In the reign of Will
liam and Mary copper coins we're struck
in England for New England and Caro-
lima. Lord Baltimore had silver shil-
lings, sixpences, and fourpences made
in England to supply the demands of
his province of Maryland. Vermont
and Connecticut established mints in
1886 for the issue of copper coin. New
Jersey followed year later But Con-
gress had the establishment of a mint
for the confederated States under ad-
visement, and in this same year agreed
upon plan submitted by Thomas JEFF
ferson, and the act went into operation
on small scale in 1887. After the
adoption Of the Constitution of the
United States in 1889 all the State
mints were closed, as the constitution
specifically places the sole power of
coming money in the Federal govern
tonnt
