Northern Dakota is suffering seriously
from the unfair method of wheat grading
in vogue in that section and numerous
meetings are being held among the farm.

ment Of the disastrous evil. a commit.
tee of Red river farmers recently visited
st. Paul to have talk with railroad and
elevator men. The remarks of some OF
the speakers on that occasion will give
an idea Of the necessity for reform in
the direction aimed at. From q news.

the following:
James Langton of Pembina comfy,
said he had taken great interest in the
development of Dakota, aud had induced
nearly two hundred good men to 20

have come under his personal observa
tion the wheat does not pay the actua
cost Of raising it.
He declared that the irregular and uu
certain system of grading was doing un
told injury to the country. He cited his
own case. He took two loads of whea,
to one station near his farm, and two
loads OF the same wheat, at the samt
time, to another station, aud the differ

cents bushel. This state of affairs il

that his sales last week were twenty .fiv.

Women in the Long Ago.

In the essay on "Women in the Four
teenth Century" we read some things
which, in view of the omission of the
word ''obey' recently from the mar
riage service of the Methodist church,
may be read with interest. Speaking
Of Book for Women" by one Geof-
frey de La Tour Landry, in the early
period referred to, Prof. Wheeler saws:
''Wifely obedience is pushed to ex-
treme lin the book). Three merchants
laid wager that each had the most
dutiful wife. The test should be lie
ping into basin of water. Then they
went to their homes, one sitter the 9th
er. The first wife refused to leap, and
the husband up with his fist and gave
her two or three great strokes in the
presence of the other merchants. The
second wife also refused, and her lord
beat her with staff. The third lady
misunderstood an order to bring salt
for command to leap upon the table
where they were all feasting, and, be-
ing better bred than the other wives,
obeyed the order as she understood it,
leaped upon the table and brought it
down with crash. The wager was
declared won without appeal to the ba-
sin experiment. And so ought every
good woman do the commandments Of
her husband, be it evil or we'll; for yet
he .bidde her things that she ought not
to do, it is his shame. :"

A girl having died of diphtheria, her
earrings were cleansed in an ordinary
way and given to her little sister, who
had been purposely kept from contact
with the patient during her sickness.
In few days the latter was taken
with diphtheria, which began in the
punctured holes of the ear.
In another case, the child had re-
NAMED in good health while other
members of the family were sick with
diphtheria. But the child had slight
wound over which scab had formed.
The scab by some accident was brush

The Time to be Pleasant,

Suppose all the boys and girls who
read the following story should "go and
do likewise Wouldn't it help make

''Mother's cross!" said Maggie, com
ing out into the kitchen with pout on
her lips.
Her aunt was ironing, but she looked
up and answered Maggie: Then it is
the very time for yoW to be pleasant
and helpful. Mother was awake q
great deal in the night with the poor
baby"
Maggie made no reply. She put on
her hat and walked off into the garden.
But a new idea went with her.
''The very time to be helpful and
pleasant is when other people are
cross. Sure enough thought she,
''that would be the time it would do
the most good. I remember when !

anyone spoke to me, could hardly

turned face full of cheerful resolution
toward the room where her mother sat
tending fretful teething baby.
Maggie brought out the pretty ivory
balls, and began to jingle them for the
ittle one.
He stopped fretting, and smile
dimpled the corners of his lips.
''Couldn't take him out to ride in
his carriage, mother? It's such nice
morning." she asked.
Il should be glad if you would!'
said her mother.
The little hat and jacket were
brought, and the baby was soon ready
for his ride
''I'n keep him as long as he is good, y
said Maggie, land you must lie on the
sofa and get nap when l am gone.

The kind words and the kiss that &C
companied them were almost too much
for the mother.
The tears rose to her eyes, and her
voice trembled as she answered:

world OF good if you can keep him out

bosom as she trundled the little peTam-

She had done real good. She had
given back little of the help and for

What You Do When You Dream.

A DR.. Granville writes to the London
Times: MANY persons who are not
by habit 'dreamers' are dreaming q
great deal just now and wondering why
they do SO. When cold weather sets
in suddenly and is much felt at night,
the head, which is uncovered, has the
blood supplied to it driven from the
surface to the deep parts notably the
brain-the organ of the mind. The re-
suits are light sleep and dreams. The
obvious remedy is to wear q nightcap
or wrap the head warmly, at least
while the cold weather lasts. believe
we of this generation suffer more from
brain trouble than our predecessors be-
cause we leave the head exposed at
night and the blood-vessels of our cere-
bral organs are seldom unloaded.''

The GLOBE has purchased a now
$4,000 Hoe web perfecting press,

pable of producing $4,000 completed
copies per hour.
This latest invention of modern
times is now being put in place in a
new building being erected by tho
GLOBE Company for it's special use.
When the new press is started, which
will be during January, 1884, the
GLOBE will be printed from new type,
and enlarged by the lengthenlng of its
columns equivalent to the addition of
six of its present columns.
The GLOBE is an oight-page paper,
never less than columns to the page,
and printing columns to the page
when the demand of news or advertis-
ing requires.
Western Associated Press and re-

that association.
The GLOBE has special telegraph

The GLOBE has established special
news bureaus in New York and Wash

The GLOBE has an elaborate and

The GLOBE has placed upon its staff

The Baby.

Where did you come from, baby dear2
Out of the everywhere into here.
Where did you get your eyes so blue?
Out of the skies as came through.
What makes your forehead smooth and high
A soft hand strOked it as went by.
What makes your cheek like warm white
rose?
I saw something better than any one knows.
Whence that three-cOrnered smile of bliss?
Three angels gave me at once kiss.
Where did you get that coral ear?
God spoke and it came out to hear.
Where did you get those arms and hands?
Love made itself into bonds and bands.
Whence came your feet-dear little things?
From the same box as the cherub's wings.
How did they all first come to you?
God thought about me and so grew.
But how did you come to us, you dear?-
God thought about you, and SO am here.
