The Waseca Radical warns farmers
to be on the lookout for swindlers who
are coming the new dodge of working
off snlde jewelry, and giving al order
on local dealer for satisfaction, if the
purchaser is not pleased with the goods
bought.
The swindler works after this fashion:
He travels through the county stopping
he pretends-at only every fourth
house. His object is to advertise the
celebrated goods of ''Lamos & Waldo,n
of New York City. He offers ring,
(worth eight cents) and chain, (worth
Is cents) and locket (worth 20 cents)
for the very low price OF $500, worth
he says $50 to $50. If after buying the
purchaser is not pleased with the goods,
he can 60 to Preston's, at Waseca, and
trade them for other goods worth $780,
so. He gives the purchaser an order
on Preston, who handles .'Lamos &
Waldo's" goods for Waseca county Che
says).
OF course names OF dealers, towns
and county is always changed to suit

4 Sensible Conclusion.

lie Sueur Sentinel.
The county fairs of the past month
have nearly all been failures in exhibits
OF vegetables and grains, and were given
up to large stock breeders. One in
Blue Earth county and one in Dakota
county. where there was not any horse
racing at all, and in the former not even
premiums awarded, were successful
agricultural exhibits and paid expenses.
The Brown county fair, held at New
Ulm, was also q great success in farm
exhibits and in other departments, with
. large attendance, and there were not
any horse races there either. We be-
lieve that horse racing as the prominent
feature OF county fairs, must be in great
part ignored for the next few years.

Something over four weeks ago a
dog got after one of Mr.. Geo. Schnei-
der's pigs. In it's endeavor to getaway
the pig ran through fence and disap-
peared. Search was made at the time,
but the pig was nowhere to be found.
A day or two ago two men passing near
the place where the pig had disappear
ed heard smothered sound and on in
vestigating the cause found the lost pig
in an old well-hole, alive, but greatly
emaciated. The pig, Mr.. Schneider
says, weighed about 100 pounds when
it fell into the hole, but when found its
weight had decreased to less than sc
pounds. During it's long Imprisonment
the pig subsisted on clay, which an
swered for both food and drink. His pig
ship is rapidly regaining his lost flesh
and in a few days his grunt will be rs
hearty as of yore.

A Conscientious Canine.

Stories of sagacious dogs are plentl- full enough, but they always form pleasant reading, chiefly because they are true. Here is dog with a con- science. He is Skye terrier. The owner had a dish of mutton outlets for his lunch. When the repast was fin ished there was one outlet still left on the dish. The gentleman was reading the newspaper, and appeared to be talk ing no notice. The dog saw the outlet, and his mouth began to water. Then he smelt at it. It was very nice. Dog gy resolution could stand it no longer. The terrier seized the outlet and bolted under the sofa Still the gentleman took no notice. The terrier paused for moment. expecting to receive a kick or a torrent of abuse. Nothing of the kind. The master took no no tice. Somehow all the flavor of that outlet seemed to have departed. The conscience-stricken terrier refused to touch it. He looked pitIfully around for a time. How could he offend so good master? He would not He simply picked up the outlet, laid it at his masters feet. hung his head in shame, and slunk away, with his whole body expressing the sentiment of shame as plainly as anything this world has ever seen. The master did not beat that dog but gave the outlet Co him. Hours .. ..........

Hudson Bay.

We come now to Lieutenant Cor. don's observations upon the natural history of the country, and first of all as to it's human inhabitants. These are very scanty, and, with the excep- tion of few white men at the traders post, are solely Eskimos. On the north side of the strait they are quite familiar with the ways of the white men, and seem to be highly pleased at the prospect of increased intercourse with them. Occasionally one is met with who has mastered the English tongue, but not often. Many others understand well enough what is said to them in that language, although they can not be persuaded to speak it. They are particularly fond of any article of civilized clothing, and the head-man at the North Bluff manifes- ted no small pride at the possession of a stand-up collar, which he displayed to the utmost advantage. In charac- ter they are docile, amiable, and will ing to work. When landing the stores and coal at North Bluff they worked all day along with the men, carrying heavy weights up over the rocks, and toiling away as cheerily and heartily as could be desired, asking no other re- muneration than biscuits, of which commodity they are inordinstely fond. These people have no farinaceous food of any kind, and, as consequence, the children arenot weaned untilthey reach the age of three or four years. The families are small, there rarely being more than two or three children. and, although early marriages are the rule, their numbers must be diminishing, because signs of their presence were met with everywhere, while the people themselves were found at only three six places along the straits, and there are only some five or six families known between Cape Chudleigh and Nachvak. Along the Labrador coast the Eskimos gather in small settlements around the Moravian mission-stations. Main is considered the largest settle ment, and It's Eskimo population does not exceed two hundred souls. Those at the stations are all educated, being able to read and write in their own language, and according to the mis- sionaries, are regular attendants at
 church, and very fond of musio-two
 excellent and hopeful traits certainly. -POpulGr Science Monthly.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Truth needs ne borrowed wealth.
 Hope is the matohlsss sanative of life.
 Slanderers are cursed with their own echo.
 Want of prudence is too frequently want of virtue.
 Three things to avoid-idleness, To. opacity and fippant testing.
 The power to do great things gener- ally arises from the willingness to do small things.
 There are few, very few, that will own themselves in mistake, though all the world deem them mistaken.
 Itis strange how often we think lightly of the gifts we have and wish for those that providence has denied.
 Obstinancy and contradiction are like paper kite: they are only kept up so long as you pull against them.
 Every day is a little life, and our whole life Is but 8 day repeated. Therefore live every day as it would be the last.
 The moderate are often called cold by men who think themselves more warm than other men because tram sient glow comes over them.
 Manners are the ornament of action; and there is way of speaking kind word, or of doing kind thing, which greatly enhances their value.
 The tone of good company is mark ed by the absence of personalities. Among well informed persons there are plenty of topics to discuss without giving pain to any one present-with- out submitting to act the part of a butt, or of that poorer creature, the wag that plays upon him.

Rig Sheen Ranches.

The wool growing interest of Mon tana Is almost exclusively confined to the belt of rich grazing country ly- ing between the Yellowstone and Mis- souri rivers and extending westward to Fort Benton and the headwaters of the Teton and Sun rivers. The sheep ranges proper are divided into Hocks numbering from 1000 to 25,000 head, and men of small means are engaging in the business with certain profit to themselves-many of them starting with 1000 head or less. The sheep growers are proving more direct and positive benefit to Montana than the cattle men, for the reason that more money is required to conduct the busi- ness proftably, and it gives employ ment to a much greater number of la- borers. Sheep require constant care and attention, while cattle require lit- tie, and are allowed to roam at will until the rounding-up season arrives. All the indications for 1885 point to a season of unexampled prosperity for the stock growers of Montana.-iSt. Paul Pioneer Press.
