The Militia.

jamestown Capital
Col. L. +. Townsend. 4. :. 4. ;, who
was delegated to inGpect the Territorial
militia at the Fargo encampment, has
made lis report to The distant general
OF the army at WashAlgfon The re-
port is voluminoUs and interesting,
At It's close Col. Townsend offers
among others, the following sugges-
tions:
| have the honor To recommend foi
the consideration of the Territorial
authorities that the troops of The Dako-
- national guard be required to have
Eulalions army uniform, 10 be worn
eneycr two or more companies are
assembled together. Should any Of the
companies desire to have a distinctive
uniform 30 be worn when they parade
suCly in their own localities, | can see
no special objection thereto. All com
missioned officers wear the regulation
uniform prescribed for their respective
grades.
| would rather recommend that the
proper Territorial authorities be permit
ted 10 purchase from the United states
such made OF unmade clothing (regula-
ton patternl at contractors rates. with
Il view Of obtaining neat lifting cloth
ing uniform with that worn by the
United States troops.
| think it greatly to be desired that
the time o. the continuance of the en-
campment be heightened Tour days
is altogether too short q time to DO Tive
work necessary; "A week or ten days
least is requisite; but as each man pl,
sent is cItt,sd to a per diem Of s
from tho Territory the item Of - .
becomes ~ important one.
| recommend further that i'm
arms be issued 10 these troops. They
are certainly worthy of them. Those
they Gave are much worn, and, though
we'll enough for instruction, the mel
can hardly take much pride in them,
and that they would not stand much
hard service.
In conclusion, beg TO express my
great qualification ut the proficiency,
spin, and zeal displayed by the Dakota
National Guards at this, their first en-
campment. Tor such new troops and
in so youthful n Territory it was re-
markabe. The Territory has ample
reasons TO be proud Of its citi2en-sol-
dicrs, and the brigadier general in com
mand, that lie has SO fine a brigade. !
cannot too warmly express my acknowl-
edgemcnt Of the great courtesy extended
To me. and the officers associated with
me, by all soldiers and citizens. No eff
fort was spared 10 make Our sojourn
pleasant, and | can only hope that we
were able - contribute somewhat TO
what WAS unden.ably most successful

She Fears the ssTimes,, Critic.

Last week an art critic called upon
Miss Neville, the we'll known Young
artist of this city, who was just finish
ing an oil painting representing the
upper part Of Haley at sunrise. He
was astonished at the skill displayed
by the artist, but highly disapproved
of the color effects. "Don't you see,'
he exclaimed, "that your sunrise is
green, your courthouse blue? You
don't seem to use any red? Did you
not notice that? You are evidently
not an adept at color blending"
"You are mistaken SIR" replied the
artist. 81 have studied the slightest
shade of every color, but-but-I am
afraid of the TIMES critic"
"Why"
Wouldn't he be liable to publish

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

A Dutch scientist, DIR. Beyerinck,

especially the cherry, peach, plum and
Others bearing stone fruits--is due to
disease of the tree. The disease is
produced by highly organized fun.
gus, whose action causes the forma-
ton of the gum, and it is quickly re-
produced in sound trees when they
are inoculated with pieces of the gum
containing any Of the fungus. This
knowledge of the nature Of the gum
may enable fruit growers to protect
their trees from a troublesome conta-
gious disease, while it also indicates
that the product of valuable gums,
like arabic and tragacanth, may be
largely increased by simple system
of cultivation by incubation.
Edwin H. Evans, of Soemedang,
Java, reports what seems to him re-
markable case of snake cannibalism.
On killing one of the most deadly of
Javan reptiles, about yard and half
in length, he found it to contain an
other snake of the same species,
which, although not more than three
inches shorter than tho larger snake,
had been completely swallowed, only
part of the tail about two inches
long protruding from the mouth Of the
swallower.
After careful and laborious inves
tigation, DR.. Edgar Holden conclude:
that death from consumption, insteac
of being, as is almost universally sup
posed, most prevalent in early adult
life in this country, is in reality not so
but grows relatively more frequent a.

THE PRICE OF PROVISIONS.
IL Is Much Lower Now than 1t Was
Two or Three Years Ago,

"Do you know" said a merchant
to TINES man this morning, ",hat
times are hard, to be sure, but money
will 80 much further now than it
would some years ago."
Yes, the reporter knew that. Money
went so far that it got entirely out of
reach.
"That isn't what l mean," replied
the merchant. But one dollar. for
instance, will purchase more than it
used to. Two or three years ago, fir
wood cost 81 per cord-and short,
at that; now full cord can be got
for So; cottonwood and alder cost
70 to Sc, now only 1915 to $4.25;
cabbages cost 5 cents per pound, now
only Il to 2 cents; potatoes 3 to 4
cents, now l cent pound; flour as
high as 10 cents, now less than cents;
grain 4 to 5 cents, now l to II cents;
bacon as high as 40 cents, now less
than half that figure. Clothing, too,
you remember, used to be $50 for anv
kind of suit; now you can get a
good business suit for $25 to $50.
Miners wages, therefore, are better at
$3.50 than they used to be at 81.
That is, the miners having less to pay
for board, provisions, lodging, cloth
ing, and everything they buy, really
are better paid at $3.50 than when
they were getting 81. Oh! this coun-
try isn't gone in yet. AS long as the
mines can afford to pay $3.50 for a
days work, the country will be all
right, if enough men can only be
kept to work. But we must all trim
our coats according to our cloth fol
while--say unit! next Spring-in

H'ookiyn. NJ L., after a severe attack Of Fry

gray--falling of SO rapidly that she soon became
quite bald. One bottle Of HALLS HAIR RE-
NEWER brought 1t back soft, brown aud

Co Mr.. KEsLINo, an old farmer. near Var

little there WAS of it had become nearly white.

its falling out, and gave him thick, luxurant

THE WONDERS OF AN EGG.

Every one who eats his matutinal egg eats

question which has been the Troy town
for oil the philosophers and scientists since
Adam. Armed with the engines of war
the microscope, tho scales, the offensive
weapons of chemistry and reason-they have
probed and weighed and experimental, and
still the question is unsolved, the citadel
unsacked. Prof. Bokoruy can tell you that
albumen is composed of so many molecules
of carbon, and nitrogen, and hydrogen, and
can persuade you of the difference between
active and passive albumen, and can show
by wonderfully delicate experiments what
the aldehydes have to do in the separation
of gold from his complicated solutions but
he can't tell you why from one egg comes
little rid hin, and from another bantam.
You leave your silver spoon an hour in
your egg cup and it is coated with com.
pound of sulphur; why is that sulphur
there2 Wonderful that evolution should
provide for the bones of the future hen.
There is phosphorus also in that little mi
crocosm and the oxygen of the mir passing
through the shell unites with it and the acid
dissolves the shell, thus making good strong
bones for the chick and at the same time
thinning the prison walls. Chemists know
good deal now about albumen, and if they
cannot tell us why life diiferentiates itaeli
therein and thereby, they can tell you how
not to spoil your breakfast by OVERRIDING
your eggs.-W Matthew Williams.
