TO KEEP CELLARS FROM EREEz1Na

TO KEEP CELLARS FROM EREEZING
Scientific American: A cheap and
very effective way to raise the tenn
perature in a cellar that is dangerous
ly near the freezing point is to set one
OF more common kerosene lamps on
the cellar bottom during the day time
when not wanted for lighting the
rooms above. We have all noticed
how much warmer IL living room is i'm
the evening, when the lamps are
burning than in the day time with
the same amount Of fire in the stoves
or furnaces. All the heat from burn
ing lump is retained in the apartment.
Twenty-Five ccnts' wortI, of kerosene
oil will throw out q surprising amount
of heat, and in many cases it would
be the cheapest means for keeping
cellar from freezing during the pass
age of al extra cold wave. Cold
waves may spoil q winters store of
vegetables, which in many instances
might be saved by this simple expe-
dent. Cellars that are properly pro.
tected from frost hy tight .underpin-.
ming, and if needed, banks of leaves
or evergreen boughs, or even banking
up with snow, rarely freeze during
the coolest weather In winter, but
sometimes alhnnusual cold snap, or
a long continued iseiiod of cold, may
endanger the potatoes and other stores
even In pretty tight cellars, especially
If plenty of fires are not kept burning
in the rooms above.

THE CHARGE OF TREASON

About week ago the Alert took occa.
sion to rcbukc the vaporings Of some cor
respondent of the Pioneer Press, purport-
ing to write from Fargo, on the subject
OF North Dakota secession, for VIC antici-
pated that eastern journals would mag
Nifty it into q real scheme Of disloyalty.
Subsequent events have proved the an
tlcipatiOn well founded as the eastern
newspapers are branding us a turbulent
set Of lawless traitors and all that sort of
thing on account Of that communicate ion.
Even the Press and Dakotaian IS cncour-
aging them IN such unjust imputation by
words like the following: "Thcrc IS
treason in the atmosphere of the north.
A prop ,sitlon has gone forth, from til
region of the forty. seventh parallel, ad-
vlsirg the establishment of provincial
government for Dakota and an alliance
with Manitoba for the organization of q
great northwestern republic. This kind
of talk IS induced by the action of con-
grcss III refusing to recognize the rights
of Dakota.'' The Alert wishes to remark
that the person who asserts that there is
a sentiment OF disloyalty or disposition of
secession among the people of North Da
kota is not only "a horse thief and liar"
as Horace Greeley was wont t. dismiss a
disputant who offered him absurdities to
answer with argument, hut such a person
is transcontincntal damphool besides.

sinister dcmagogue becomes suddenly
converted to the cause, and though he
may never have done days work on q
farm, and may not be able to distinguish
plow from a wneelbarrow, his voice on
the hull tops and on the street corners is
loudest for the cause of the farmer and
with the battle cry of "Down with mo-
nopolies ~ but all the while his heart is
set on some Office which he expects to OBJ
tain through the organization Or some
prestige of personal interest he expects to
make it subserve. These are among the
insldious clements of dissolution that
crept into and wrecked the Grange or
ganization, and they will just as surely
lead the Farmers Alliance into the camp
of the enemy. The Farmers Alliance
is all right and good thing so long as
its membership is restricted to legitimate
farmers and its movements arc controlled
by farmers, but these ephemeral and un-
tanned farmers ('), the hay seed in whose
hair cost them nickle in u seed store
instead of labor in the field, should be
kept on probation at least until they can
show the callous marks of labor in the
palms of their hands.

TIE authorities have just closed a
prayer hospital at Denver, Colorado. The
mode OF treatment was by prayer, and if
the patient recovered it was regarded as
being brought about through the efficacy
of prayer. When the patient died, as
was frequently the case, they ccntentcd
themselves with the thought that no
medical skill could have effected cure.
An inquest was recently held over the
body Of child that died in the institu.
ton and the autopsy made by prominent
physicians showed that with proper med
ical treatment or even good nursing the
child would have recovered. The coro
ner's jury declared the institution was
in the hands of religious fanatics and re-
commended that it lie closed. This spc.
cics OF religious insanity develops in
various places, but usually only in fami
lies, rarely in Il ublic institution as in
this case

COUNCILMAN RICHARDSON, Of Valley
C.ty, IS alarmed IN contemplation of the
memorials and petitions that will be sent
IN for the consideration of the legislature
the coming session. When the leg,sla-
ture nolls them down into appropriate
and judic,ous bills they will be in danger
OF getting lost in the pocket of the char.
man of some committee. The lcgisla-
tive mill, like that of the gods, grlnds
slow but it grinds exceeding small. A
great many proposed and "impera!ively
demanded" laws will not survive the
gauntlet of the ''thlrd house, and those
that do will have to pass through tho
purgatory OF committee investigation fol
each body Of the Legislature, stand the
cross fire Of each house and what is left
of them he exposed to the veto of the
governor. The test Of a Il gislature is the
quality and not the quantity OF laws it
enacts.

GRUNGES AGAINST GRAIN GRAD.


The subject of grading wheat IS one of
very great Importance TO North Dakota,
as it affects her staple product. With
proper cleaning very little of the wheat
shipped from this section of the country
should be graded below No. l hard. But
it seems that this precaution does not Sc
cure indemnify against this wrong. The
elevators in this city have equal grounds
of complaint with the farmers on this
score, for much OF tho wheat they buy of
the farmers as No. hard IS cut down in
grade 1T Duluth until they lose money in
the deal. The seat of grievance seems 10
be in Duluth, and it has b come so Sc
rlous that some other market will be
sought unless the wrong is r'ghted. The
proposition TO build suitable elevators at
Superior CITY, on the south side of the
western point Of Lake Superior to bring
the Duluth elevators TO terms by compe-
tition is one plan suggested, but the two
places are SO close together that they
would probably pool under the outward
guise OF competition. These arc the
nearest points TO water navigation to
eastern markets, and wheat carried any
further by rail must be carried in compe-
titlon with water navigation. The plan
would then seem to be TO strike Lake
Michigan by rail at the most accessible
point that would bring about competition
with Duluth, Milwaukee AMI Chicago. 1t
must he admitted that obstacles loom up
in the way of all these plans, but as enc
cessity is the mother of invention" the
exigcnc,es of the case may inspire ingeu-
uity enough to overcome them.

liz president elect Cleveland means
what lie says on the snbject of civil SER
wee Pendleton, of Ohio, would seem to
ne nearest in harmony with the incoming
administration of all the unseltish patri
OTIS of that grand army of spoils hunters
under the democratic ensign. Ii 1t
should turn out that Pendleton, be-
ing in accord with the administration,
should have influence enough to dump the
whole population of Ohio into the federal
civil service, as was done under the
Hayes administration, that state could Sc
cCdc flcm the union without the re-
sistancc of either of the great political
parties. All the balance Of the union
would say: Go, sister, go in peace. aud

union than Ohio and Cleveland does.

KEEP A DIARY.

Every person who can write and who
Is old enough to take part IN public and
social affairs or transact any business
on his or her own account should keep q
diary, and now is a good time and per-
haps the best one to commence as 1t is
the beginning of the year when people
turn over new leaf, as they call 1t. At
first the keeping OF diary is such task
that most persons abaldon it before 1t
ceases to be task and becomes habit.
1t must be perseycl cd in until it becomes
habit or it will be failure. Very few
get through the first month, so very few
that perhaps those who continue faith
full diary record through to the end of the
year may not exceed one in ten of those
who at the beginning of the year provide
themselves with book and pencil for the
plrpose
The advantages of keeping diary are
numerous. Little ciTcumstan noes often
become very important ones in the course
of time. People often spend time and
money in ascerta,nlng and fixing dates
winch the little diary would furnit th con-
clusivcly and IN few moments. There
may he a thousand questions col me up
years afterwards that would md Ike the
memorandum in your diary of great value
and importance to you. The Importance
of dates will be forclbly impressed upon
any one who witnesses or may bella wit
ness in trial before court DR. jury
where oral testimony Is taken, and the
honest and other wise valuable testimony
of many witness has been wholly de-
s,royed by his inability to fix dates pr con-
tradlcting himself in attempting ID do so.
Abraham Lincoln secured the acaulttal
of a murderer once by showing that the
moon had not yet risen at the hour and
date the main prosecuting witness testl-
fed that he saw by the light of the moon
the defendant strike the fatal blow. 1t
was said that Lincoln interpolated leaf
from an old almanac to make his point,
but however that may be he made it most
effectually and so conclusively that net
only the jury but the witness himself be-
lieved he had sworn falsely.
The diary should also contain mem-
orandum of all receipts and expenditures,
on what account received or paid and
from or TO whom This cultivates both
system IN business aud economy in cx-
penditurcs, the two main and essential
elements in prosperity and success. 1t
will also provide as ainst mistakes IN husi-
ness transactions which might otherwise
lead 20 expensive litigation. Very few
will prosecute suit against we'll kept
diary showing when, where and how the
matter IN contest had becu settled.

SOME politicians who profess to know,

el that hc canno: secure the full vote Of

Farwcll expects to come in himself on the

OF selling out to the democrats as tho dis
position Of federal patronage will be with
the democratic party. Logan did very

TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF.

With the incoming of the year 1885 all
other leaf is turned IN the great, swelling
volume of individual and national
history. The record Of 1884 Is made up
and cannot be erased or amended. Its
wisdom is there on perpetual record and
Its fsllles are indelibly stamped up.n 1t.
They are in panoramic view before each
individual and every nation. TO each it
presents an interesting commingling of
approval and reproof. Each finds in it
much for pleasant reflection and many
things for chagrin and regret. In the
light of subsequent events and the illu
minat,ng lessons OF experience VIC won
der that such errors were made.
But while the follies and errors Of the
past cannot and should not be forgotten
they may, for the most part, be avoided
in the year 1885 whose open and blank
page IS before us. Tie past is forever
beyond our rectltylng reach, but the fu
turc IS ours to make of it what we may.
We cannot retrace single ste? nor re-
claim moment of the past, but VIC can
change our course wherein we see it leads
to error and evil.
1t IS the lowest aim of life to merely
live. Tcnacity of life is an animal in
stinct which pertains alike to man and
brute. The desire to do something and
be something is the motor power that
moves the world IN industry, in science,
in art, in literature. With coInmenda-
Bile spirit Of emulation each gene ration is
striving to surpass the preceding one,
and each lndlyldual member can DO somc-
thing to advance the worI'l in these dc
partmcnts of human progress.
Mctaphorically speaking every man is
the builder of his own monument. The
model life as pnblic servant and patri-
otic devotion to his country are what give
character aud interest to the monument
soon to he dedicated to Washington, and
not the inanimate column of stone that
reaches to the clouds. Although there is
nothing to mark the grave of Jefferson
he built unto himself a monument in the
history o1hls countryithat will outlast any
column of marble or granite that could
be constructed by his grateful country
men, 1t is what one does and net what he
is that embalms his name in the gratitude
of the people and perpetuatcs his memory
IN history. The way is open to all in this
country. Here there is no royal descent
Of political power nor imperial robes to
hide natural or acquired imbecility, but
every mau must stand or fall by his own
,nnrite
