Our National Park Made Famous In
England.

/ England.
Newcastle (Eng.) Chronicle: Many of
our readers will he glad to learn the New.
castle artist, Mr. Arthur Brown, whose
expedition to the National Yellowstone
Park, United States, was noticed in these
columns few months ago. has exhibited
his paintings and photographs to a London
audience with the utmost success. Mr..
Browns appearance in the metropolis is
thus noticed in the Daily News of Mon
day st:--"On Friday evening, Mr..
Arthur Brown, artist, of Newcastle -on-
Tyne, delivered very interesting illus
trated lecture to large anil fashionable
audience in the Steinway Hall. The
photographs of tire scenic features of
Yellowstone Park were projected by a.
powerful camera before the audience, and
explained with great felicity of speech by
the lecturer. In addition there were nu-
niereus watcr-colour drawings executed
by Mr.. Brown, who spent many weeks at
Yellowstone Park making sketches of the
NEST remarkable features of the place, so
that the drawings represented the wonder
full colours which the camera failed to re-
produce. The scenes being all delineated
by Mr.. Brown could be depended
upon for their fidelity in outline and hue.
1t is not often that so remarkable a region
is described by the artist, who has illus
trated it. Mr.. John Neate introduced the
lecturer, and, on the motion of Mr.. G. j.
Holyoake, cordial and well-earncd vote
of thanks was passed for Mr.. Arthur
Brown" We may mention that
Mr.. Brown has entered into an
undertaking to deliver lecture
and display his marvellous series of paint
ings and photographs at the Town Hall,
Newcastle, and that he has also been en-
gagged to repeat his lecture in London.

Rates on the Northern Pacific.

Milwaukee Telegram: The wholesale
merchants of Milwaukee have at last in
duced the Northern Pacific to make
freight rates from this city to points on
the road in Montana, Washington Terri
tory and Oregon, that will give them a
fair show in competing for that Western
business. The freight officials of the road
have not issued new tariff sheet nor will
they publish or advertise any new rates,
but they have given the merchants here
tlle assurance that rates will be given from
this city to Western shipping points, that
will be proportionate to the through rates
from Eastern cities to the Western points.
This concession was made some wecksago
to the Minneapolis and St. Paul wholesale
trade, but the Milwaukee merchants have
just received word that they are to be
treated as fairly in the matter.

comparatively cheap. all the other nee.

Some of the exiles had rich relatives who
sent them money. but not more than 300
rubles could be sent at any one time. and
the mail service is so irregular that some
times there is only delivery in six
months and only at odd intervals during
the winter when some government Off

exile may send or receive any sealed
package. Everything of that nature
must be opened and read or examined
by the Cossack commandant or the chief
of police.

Prehistoric sewing.
Exchange

.A<ASiAnts~t..
The art of sewing has been known
from very remote period, as is shown
by the fact that bone needles have been
found among the oldest remains of the
Swiss lake-dwellings and in the caves
of France and Great Britain which were
frequented by man during the reindeer
age. Some Of these early needles were
perforated in the middle which was
the thickest part-and others were
pierced at the larger end. A French
cavern has yielded needles much
superior to those Of the ancient
Gauls and TO the ivory needles Of the
modern Esquimaux, especial skill hav-
ing been applied to the boring of the
ewes, which must have been done with
a fine flint drill. The Swiss lake
dwellers used linen thread or bark fiber
for sewing, and made garments from
woven fabrics of linen and bark az we'll
as from the skins of animals. The cave
people employed thread made from
split tendons and perhaps strings Of
gut, and the fineness OF some of their
needles has suggested the proba.
bility that they performed some more
delicate work than the sewing Of skins.

Some time ago woman who had
sent one Of her boys TO college said to
me that she would rather see the Others

after almost starving. got employment

mortified to find himself working for a
man who could not write his name; but
he held on to the place. In the opinion

The Price of Fruit.


FORT BENTON, Nov. 10, 1884.
Editors of the River Press:
In the western and southern portion
of Montana fruits are raised in album
dance, apples especially being grown in
great quantities. In Portland, Oregon,
they can be bought for one cent a pound,
but the cash money advanced on the
freight increases their value, at retail,
240O per cent. in Fort Extraordinarily
five cents per pound, five pounds for a
dollar, or $4 a box of fifty pounds,
which, at eight cents per pound, must
yield a big profit. The retail price of
| apples in Fort Benton is the same as it
was eight years 20, When fruit was
shipped from Ogden and Franklin,
Utah. In those days there was treble
the risk Of shipping that there is now,
and people did not complain, for they
knew their chances for their safe arrival
in good condition was a matter Of very
great doubt; but now, with a railroad
within $50 miles. the dealers must keep
to their old prices and deprive q large
portion Of the community who would
be glad to avail themselves Of an oppor-
tunity to enjoy the luxury Of fruit oc-
casionally, but in view OF exorbitant
prices must of necessity forego the pleas
ure of an indulgence. It is all nom
sense Apples CAN be shipped from
New York or Chicago and recalled in
nj 49,. go. o. oY.~ ,~I
leave a splendid profit. Our dealers
need lively competition. If they were
alive to their own interests they would
manage to have fruit way down and be
content with a reasonable profit, sell ten
times the quantity of fruit, and earn
the gratitude of hundreds of people who
would be able to buy a box or barrel
without giving q chattel mortgage on
all their earthly possession. II.
