n LECTURE ON ECONOMY:

A stupid-looking tramp knocked at
one of the finest residences in Austin,
and was received by the lady of the
house.
"What do you want?"
"Please'm give me dime to buy a
glass of bread; 'scuse me, Imean loaf
of beer"
II haven't got any money"
Haven't you got no money? Then,
madam, 1 would suggest that you move
into a'cheaper house; you are evidently
living beyond your means. Economy
is wealth. Economic in the matter of
clothes and house rent. Gut your ex-
penses, and then, perhaps, some day
you will have dime to spare dime,
madam, that may be the means of pre-
venting hungry and thirsty fellow
mortal from committing suicide; Or it
may be quarter-a coin Of the value
OF 25 cents-that will upholster the
dark clouds on the horizon of his dis
pairing soul with silver-plated lining,
and till his stomach with Bock-beer.
Good-day, fair lady, Tecas Sifti1aqs.

TRICHINE.

This word-the plural Of trichina-
has its accent on the second syllabie
It is from Greek word meaning hair,
and is the name of the hair-like worms
sometimes found in the human muscles!
The words "spiralis" is generally atA
tached to it, and refers to the manner
in which the parasite lies curled up in
his tiny capsule.
When fully grown, it would take eigh-
teen of the males, placed end to end, to
make an inch. The disease to which
they give rise-at first often mistaken
for muscular rheumatism-is called
trichinosis, sometimes trichiniasis.
It was not until 1885 that the para
site was found in man. During the next
twenty-five years it was proved that
there was connection between the dis;
ease in man and that of the hog; and in
1867 the parasite was found in the mus
cles of the latter. Whence the hog has
derived it is an unsettled question.
As long as the hog lives the parasite
remains dormant in the animal, like the
chrysalis of the butterfly. But when
the hogs flesh is eaten, the tiny cap.
snles then are dissolved BY the digestive
juices, and trichinm are set free.
! A single meal may introduce many
thousands Of them over million, says
one writer into the stomach. Thus in.
troduced they live from five to six weeks
in the intestines, each one producing
meanwhile brood of at least 1,500.
The latter soon migrate toward the
muscles, following the course of the
blood vessels and nerves, and reach,
ing their goal about the tenth day.
Here, in five or six months, they pass
into a sort of chrysalis condition, to be
freed from it only by the gastric juices
of some other being. Similar migra-
tions may follow, wave after wave.
More or less, however, are swept out OF
the intestines, possibly to find their way
back to their ancestral home in the
swine.
The %ichin@ have been found in every
land. They have also been detected ID
the cat, dog, rabbit, rat, mouse, mar
mot, the wild hog of Europe, and even
in the hippopotamus.-YoAtR Com

The publisher of the RECORD has a
weakness for potatoes. Whether it is a
hereditary like, by the American race
conglomeration transmitted from some
ancient Irish king, or otherwise, we are
unable to say. But big potatoes and
little potatoes, carly potatoes and late
potatoes have always adapted themselves
to our style of appetite. Potatoes
stewcd and potatoes baked, potatoes
boiled and potatoes fried--all are vel
cometo our overfreightcd table. There
fore, when last week we were made the
recipient of a basketful of fine new
vegetables of the Early Rose variety, sent
by Mr. ]. II. Stevenson, OF. f.Chcrry Grove
we were much pleased and surprised
prised that potatoes as large as hcn-cgys
could be put upon the table by the 25th Of
June. Mr.. Stevenson will please accept
our thanks, with the understanding that
when his watcrmelons ara harvested the
editor may still possess the soft spot in
his heart. Seriously speaking, tha veyc-
tables; wert very fine, and We're so pro-
nounced by all who saw them.
Not long ago Mr.. John Classy, while
riding across the prairie, came upon Il
strange quadrupcd not more than IL i: IL
drcd yards distant. AS Mr. G.. Went
toward the animal it rctreat"tl when he
went from it it followed. Finally John
concluded that being alone upon the
prairie, in proximity to u possibly dam
| gerous wiki beast, was not quite the
proper thing, so he concluded to 90 to
tine house of Mr.. Brock and procure
weapons. Upon arriving there he was
assured b. Mr.. B. that great caution
should be used, as the beast was of very
dangerous nature, and it's chief delight
was in making mincc-ment Of unwary
hunters. However, Johns blood was up,
and he determined to st that animal O,
die in the attempt. But. after he was
armed, the beast did not seem nearly SO
careless as before, but kept at respect:
fdl distance, and the huntcrwls compelled
to let the quadrupvi escape. It was an
antclopc-ao Mr. Brock says; but John
says IL was a meuntain Ion. AS this
itea was f1ssnial,,,d by ..ssfhe.ls,gs. about
Williamsport, it may possibly be ineor-
tectin some particulars. "The boys, we
are grieved to say, are not all like George
Washington.

Monday morning Mr.. Fish, with Mr..
Armstrong's team, set to work to remove
the sod fora public croquet ground The
spot chosen was on the east side Of Broad
street, near the RECORD building. BY the
rcmova! Of the sod the surface of the
groun, has aren lef. rs smooth as Il floor,
an,! the malrt may there be welded with
the greatest satisfaction. The sod has
been piled up around the edge of the
breaking, with the top layer grass up, so
that row of comfortable seats has been
formed. After this mornings rain the
few gopher holes had disappeared, by the
washing of loose dirt therein, and every
thing is now ready for the initiatory
game, which will be played soon. Among
the public spirited gentlemen busily en-
gagged in piling sod were Messrs. Dough-
erty, Armstrong, Whitney, Fish, Ed
Campbell, Connor, George Walker, Field
ing, and Wood. Major Dickey acted as
superintendent of construction.

Il Troubled GI'MilNer.

Commissioner Whitney is still terribly in
earnest in his devotion to the interests of
his potato crop. And, by the way, from
an incident which occurred yesterday, il
may be proper in this connection to sug-
ycst that his friends in Bismarck and
Ohio keep watchful eye on him. He
was complimented on the situation of
his claim, the appearance of his crop, and
his energy in its cultivation. With a sad
and melancholy look he' replied: eyes;
on any part of my claim the hoe-risin'
may be seem For this outrageous and
demoralizing "goak,' the gentleman
should be held to a strict account. It is
probable that at the next meeting of the
county board his colleagues, Messrs. Gay
ton and Yeater, will act III the matter, and
discipline him in the severest manner
allowed by the territorial statutes. Pub
tic opinion demands proper punishment.
The people must be protected. Mr.. w.
has lost considerable f1esh-all he had to
spare, in fact-wrcstling with the potato
problem. After his ground had been
broken-he sacrificed day in hunting
a man whom he. could hire to remove
and pile up the sod, so that his potatoes
could bc planted. Then the hoeing came.
After scraping from east to west, he dis
covered, on looking at his volume of

One evening recently the form of a
gentleman with eyes protruding SO you
could have knocked 'cn, off ,vitl, stick
suddenly darkened the door Of the REC
ORD sanctum. Falling :nto chair, his
only exclamation was, "lnjunsv' Being
fnrthcr questioned, the visitor stated,
with trembling voice, that "Fifteen wild
Sioux from Standing Rock are going
across the prairie east Of town." Taking
4 field glass, the editor and his guest went
out iG front of the Office and tool; Il view
of the supposed; savages. The gentleman
had been sadly mistaken. It was discov-
cred that the supposed redskins were
belonging to the gentleman giving
the nfornnation-which are usually kept
in stable near this office. In that pa
ticnt and gentle manner for which they
are noted, the animals were slowly wend-
ing their way over the prairie. The fly
brushes attached to them had been mis-
taken by their owner for the scalp-locks
of the savuges, and their peculiar musical
notes in @ fiat, in his imagination, had
been "tiansmoyrifed" into the war
whoops of the original inhabitants.
After learning the true status of ;.ffairs,
the gentleman went out, captured the
whole INDIAN" outfit, and, after the
usual hours work, succeeded in getting
them inside their reservation-the stable.

Why should not any man in the
States, possessing stock and agricultural
implements, but with small farm, sell
the latter and come to Dakota? Here he
can get l60 or 320 acres of as good or
better land than he leaves, and here the
circumstances are as favorable, or more
SO, to a prosperous. contented and happy
life. In Emmons County there are many
z quarter-sections of Just as good land as
man can ask for, and some of the best
lie within few miles of Williamsport
As farm here can be obtained for only
the small fee paid at the land office, the
settler can devote the money he received
, fyom hissale to the Improvement of his
new home, and in u short time be as COM
fortably situated as before, and with a
farm which he would not exchange for a
half-dozen similar to the one he formerly
owned. We do not desire to present the

that the rainfall is insufficient for agricul-

proved by visiting or writing to the
