st. Paul Globe: The financial en-
of Gov. Hubbard will be
learned with regret at home and
abroad. In his efforts to carry the
mill and elevator company in which
he was interested, he seems to have
become a personal endorser to an
amount which will sweep away all
his property save his home in Red
Wing. The Governor has never been
q speculator and had aquired a large
property by industry and prudence
and close attention to business. His
connection with the companies which
have now crippled him was originally
on a sound basis, but after the COM
panies had been oganized some of the
large stockholders became FESTIVE and
the purchase of their Interests. which
was rather forced upon the governor
and his associates as the alternative,
if the business was to be continued,
left them with inadequate capital for
the bushes they were undertaking.
The result was the assignment which
has now taken place. AS the COVER
nor is in the prime of life, and his
business misfortune in no manner re-
fleets upon his integrity, his recupera-
ton will undoubtedly be but a matter
of short time. He will certainly have
the kindly wishes of all who enjoy his
personal acquaintance, and also those
of the general business circles.

vice Mutual Benefit Association met
at Buffalo N. Y. One hundred and
fifty delegates were present besides
large company of friends and an in

1AKuTA.

The city of Pierre is the county seat of
Hughes county, Dakota, and is located on the
graphical center of the proposed new State of
South Dakota. and is opposite the center of
the great Sioux reservatson. 1t is the present
terminus of the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway; through daily trains without change
of cars run between the two cities in 81 hours
The city is mainly built upon the large and
broad terraces overlooking the river with its
wooded banks and Islands, and as the slope
of each terrace OF bench is toward the river,
the city is perfectly drained and is free from
the dangers resulting from floods or 1mper-
feet sewerage.

fence rows, and even scattered here
and there in the open fields, add great
ly to the appearance and value of a
farm. Cattle sheep and other farm
animals suffer greatly from the hot
sun when confined in a shadeless
pasture in midsummer. They will
seek the slight protection from the
bro1ling sun fence may afford, or
stand huddled together for hours, with
their heads shaded by each other, in a
most unhealthful manner. Animals
thus exposed do not give the best re-
turns to their owners, and for this
reason, if not for comforts sake, they
should be provided with shade. Some
farmers object to trees in the pasture
because their shade is too inviting and
keeps the live stock from feeding.
Farm animals need not Craze all the
time, and with good pasturage, can
get all the grass they need in the cool
portions of the day, between which
they should have refreshing shade for
chewing the cud of contentment.
Men are not the only creatures that
may be sunstruck; cows unduly expos
dto heat frequently become sick, quick
ly falling off in milk, and may require
weeks of nursing to bring them back
to good health. Trees are an obstruc-
ton to the cultivation of field and
occupy the soil for several feet around
them, to the exclusion of grain or
| other crops, and therefore it is best
to plant most of the trees along the
line of the boundary fences. The tired
laborer is thankful for few minutes
of shade and rest, and doubtless will
do more work by taking an occasional
"breathing spell" under chestnut or
hickory, and make good returns for
the space it occupies in nuts, as well
as refreshing shade. In many fields
there is low place with o spring or q
small running stream, and is well fit
| ted for group Of trees. In short any
part of a field not suited to cultivation
may profitably grow few trees, thus
affording a retreat for the live stock
from the midday sun and driving
storms. If the pasture has no shade
trees it viii pay to provide a tempo
rary shelter Four strong posts with
forks at the topmay support two poles
across these lay smaller poles for raft
ers. The top may be covered with,
straw, swale hay, or, if more convent
| emit, brush may be cutend laid upon

MADE A GOOD HAUL,
Cheap Pictures.

''Do YOU know how these pictures
are paiuted?' inquirp,l m agl counois-
seur yesterday ol i reporter, referring
to the paintian~ Displayed in IN art
auction house
The newspaper man confessed his
| ignorance, and asked 70 t. informed.
| ''NVciI, l VIII tell YOU Il story regard
ING their construction as it was told me
by q thoroughly reliable party. He
said he knew an artist in Chicago who
was good painter, but had wrecked
himself by drink. Broken down, he
took to painting pictures for auction
eers, and this is how he did it: He
would spread q long piece of canvas
along the room and then mark it off
into sections the size ne intended to
make the pictures. Next he would
mix up about dozen pots of paint-as
many colors as it was necessary for him
to use. Taking the brush from one
pot he would paint daub, tree or
something on each section; then he
would take up another color and go
along the strip of canvas daubing water
or houses on each picture, and SO ON
till he had turned out the whole string,
all alike, you know. In this way he
managed to paint about twenty pictures
q day. He received IS cents for each
picture. My informant assured me
this was all he was paid. Well, that
would be about $15 for the days work.
This would be enough for the artist to
90 off on drunk with, and that is just
what he would do, and remain drunk
for u few days. Then his funds would
be out and he would go to work again.
In this way he managed to keep ailoat
and be drunk the greater part of the
time. You can understand how these
fellows can sell pictures for a trifie and
yet thrive. If they sell picture at all
they make money on it, as it costs them
next to nothing. The frames they get
for about SO cents apiece as they buy
so many at Il time. Why, $3.50 pays
them well for picture. st. Louis

Howiing Dogs.

Many wearied and wakeful persons
find in the bowling of dogs by night a
persistent, widespread and most an
moving form of irritation. The owners
of dogs given to spend the hours OF
darkness in assiduous bowling appear
generally to regard with serene per-
sonal perturbability the noisy nui-
sance which makes night hideous for
their neighbors. Nevertheless, those
who keep dogs, especially those who do
so in popuous places, ought to feel
bound to take simple precautions which
alone are necessary to prevent a trou
bleSome form of veXation, which is
really Il serious source of Inconvenience
and loss of rest, and probably loss OF
health, to very many people. To the
9l:one5t bark of watch dog giving
warning tongue upon suitable occasion
no one would object, but the purpose
less and unending howlings of the
chained ours which are especially prev
aient in suburbs OF towns is an intoler-
able nuisance. 1t is not necessary to
eXternnate dogs to put an end to the
annoyance in question. The nuisance
is perfectly preventable by the adop-
ton of q few simple and sensible meas
ures which, so far from injuring the Of
Tending animals, tends to give them
length of days by conducting to their
contentment. Those who have had ex-
perience in keeping dogs know that
these animals will not howl if they be
comfortable. Ii dogs, instead of being
cruelty chained up out of doors, in ken
nels which are often draughty and
damp, be allowed to have their liberty
by day, and to lie in the house at night
they will generally sleep through the
night IN perfect quietness. Or, if it be
necessary to be chained by. day, he
ought to be let loose ut night, when it
will be found that he will retire quietly
to his kennel and abstain from howling
especially if he be furnished with some
fresh hay or clean mat for a bed. In
warm weather dogs often howl simply
because they want water. Many dogs
howl at night simply because they are
kept constantly chained by day and by
night. This is a common and most re-
prehensible form of cruelty; dogs SO
treated are sure to be restless and irri-
table, and can scarcely be healthy

CHARITY,

Charity begins at home, and the
supply in some homes is so extremely
limited that it never progresses be-:
yOnd the beginning and gives out
before it makes the circuit of the
family circle. A man begins by being
charitable to himself. He starts out
under the impression that he is pos
sessed of an inexhaustible reserve OF
charity, and spreads it over himself so
lavishly that his surprise is almost
stunning when his wife makes applica-
ton for modicum Of the article for
herself, and finds himself incapable of
making the supply equal to the demand.
He then realizes that he had mistaken
selfshness for charity. OF course he
wouldn't like to admit that mistake
not even to his wife-he is conscious of
it, all the same, and it is mt at all con-
soling to him to know that his wife is
conscious OF it too.
Charity is virtue possessing q deal
| of elasticity, and some people stretch it
| to such an extent as to make it as trans
| parent as coal sieve and about suse-
| ful to the subject to which it is applied
as the sieve would be for carrying
| water. That isn't the kind of charity
| that covers multitude of sins, although
it is the kind of charity generally dealt
| in by those having a multitude OF sins
under the mistaken impression that it
affords them an impenetrabie pail over
| their sins and white robe of right
eousness to dazzle the eyes of the world,
and even to fool St. Peter himself, and
insure them an unchallenged passage
through the celestial gate.
A good, healthy, vigorous kind OF
charity is not less valuable for its rarity
than its usefulness. The rarity OF this
kind of charity doesn't lie SO much i'll
the difficulty of procuring it rs i'll the
| dispensation of it. The man who is
reduced to such an extremity of impe-
| cuniosity as 10 be compelled to stand
around restaurant doors and derive his
I dlurnal suStenance rom the succulency
OF cast-away tooth-picks, isn't too poor
to load himself from head to feet with
the very best kind of charity, if he'll
only take the trouble to realize that il
consists i'll a word kindly spoken, or the
smallest act kindly performed, rs well
rs Ill muniticent contributions to hos
pltals and the general run Of public and
private bencfactiOns.
There is nothing SO easily obtainable
as an inexhaustible supply of good
wholesome charity, because the uni
Versal source OF it is illimitabe, and
every household can keep it in stock
by preparing u reservoir for it and
never closing the cheuk-valve. AND
being procured without money anc
without price, it should be reciproealll
dispensed TO one another on the same
liberal terms. And the wonder il
that isn't.-Green Boy Sunday Id

The Table Talk man of the New
York Mtrcu1y who, by the way, is very
much of sage, thus delivers his opin-
ion of people:
People with long necks, and conse-
quently long forms, are never voluble,
They listen and think. Tail and mas
sive people are equally inclined to 81
lence and Thought. The natures Of
both are somewhat sluggish, but
aroused, their passions have the sweep
of II hurricane. Small fat people or
small thin people are generally very
talkative. Most of the talk is super
fetal. Altitudinous persons look To
generals; people near the ground love
details. Always select a tall man OF :;
tail, massive man TO act for you in
court or in q political convention. Small
men have but little weight in either. 1t
is human nature fact, and don't for
get it. Webster won his audience at
once by his herculean proportions and
deep, cavernous eyes; Caihoun's tall,
spare person, leonine hair and brilliant
eyes riveted attention; Clay unrolled
himself until he lowered aloft and
commanded as a statuesque figure.
The men impressed without speaking
a word. But canary man, u little
chap, however good-looking and glib,
las no weight with miscellaneous au-
uience

Sad, if True.

A sad and touching story comes to
us from Grand Marais. A guileless red
son of the forest whose early education
in the intricate sciences seems to have
been somewhat neglected, found a
nitro-glycerine cartridge, and of course
thought it was something good to eat.
One of the peculiarities of the noble
Indian is that when he finds Il thing
and doesn't know what it is he invari-
ably classifies it with his alphabetical
list of foods and entombs it in his al
ways hungry midst. This Indian made
q fair average lunch from the tender
est end of the cartridge, smacked his
lips with satisfaction and returned to
his tepee. After family prayers that
evening his squaw washed the children
and put them to bed, and soon the
aged couple also retired. During the
night his wife yelled to him to ''lie
over" and at the same time dug her
elbow into his abdomen with wifely
viger He did as she requested. He
laid over considerable portion of the
adjacent real estate, while here and
there fragments of his once proud
frame could be seen dangling from the
limbs of the trees in the soft moonlight.
His wife hasn't been heard from since.
The story is a sad one and should
teach the untutored red children to al
ways investigate before they bite into a
substance with which they are not
personally acquainted. BiSnsdrc6 Tri-

The Chinese have peculiar way OF
conducting the examination of candi-
dates for their universities. There are
three trials allowed-on the ninth,
twelfth and fifteenth day of the eighth
moon-and each lasts two days. Du-
ring the time the applicant is confined
in a cell about eight feet square. In it
are two boards, the one to sit upon,
and the other to serve us writing desk
and eating table. Besides this ''furni-
ture" there is Il teapot and cup for re-
freshments, the eatables being handed
in by the examiners through the graf
ings on the door; but no one is allowed
to speak to those in charge. As the
cell is hardly large enough to lie down
in, those students who are unfortunate
enough to be above the average size are
compelled to sit up during their forty
eight hours of solitary confinement.
The examination is conducted, wholly
in writing.

"Wuss Than That" "

The other day lone man sat III the
railroad depot at Elmira, having Il lean
grip sack at his elbow and his battered
hat drawn down over his eyes.
''Come from York?' queried an old
chap in gray wool suit as he sat down
heavily on the bench beside him.
Yes"
s.They say the stock market down
thar has bin rather purturbcd Of late?"
continued the old man.
'.Yes."
''Happen to perturb you any?'
'Perturb! Perturb!'' growled the
Yorker. "Why you old ass, l was
cleaned out of $i8, 900 inside OF three
days, and am now hunting for rail

turbed?'

siderably wuss, and I'm blowed il

How to Keep Healthy.

Glow do you manage to keep
healthy?' Disraeli was asked by dys-
peptic fop. ''By dining off a sardine,"
was the answer, and there was some
! truth in this. To the end of his life,
says writer in Temple Bar, Disraeli
always ate very sparingly when alone,
| and this enabled him to keep a good
appetite for public occasions, thereby
rcbutting the presumption, which his
pale face suggested, that he was con-
sumptive. In this connection some re-
marks of his about wine may be men
! toned. Hard drinking was in fashion
| during his youth, and at public dinners
men who let the bottle pass were hard
! ly regarded as gentlemen. Disraeli,
who could never stand much wine, sulf-
cred y good deal from this social usage,
and he set himself to study the de-
meanor OF men who could drink deep
without being any the worse for it.
| Lord Melbourne was one OF these, and
he gave Disraeii q wrinkle by saying:
F'Iou can drink if you don't talk; if
yon talk much you needn't drink, for
people will think you are drunk, and
let you alone" 1t is obvious that the
excitement Of conversation must CO.
| operate powerfully with the fumes of
wine in making the brain reel. Dis
raeli, having noted this fact, went
further into the subject by observing
that mans convivial propensities are
always taken for granted if he talks in
praise OF wine, and appears to be very
critical about it. Some of his remarks
! sayoring of the most refined cpicurean-
ism may, therefore, be ascribed solely
to his temperate desire to find excuses
for not drinking. He was not a Judge
Of wines, though he pretended to be,
and once allowed himself to lay down
the law about Burgundy against the
late Lord Seton. A droll trait in him
was that he spoke enthusiastically
about certain choice wines, but never
decried any sort of liquor, not even
gin. A reason he once gave for ''say-
ing something kind'' about brandy in
the presence of a person addicted to
spirits would have had Mephistoph-
clean ring in it if the subject of the OBJ
servation had not been, humanely
speaking, irrcclaimable: II could not
speak i'll of his only friend 81 should
call brandy his enemy" interposed a
lady. ''Ah, well, q man hates his ene-
my the worse for hearing him we'll
spoken of, ~ was the mild retort.
