Thought Chamberlain Had No Chance.

John Lawler, n of the high Off
Gals of the g. M. & St. Paul COM
pauy, sent the following dispatch to
| Mitchell:
To 8. D. Cook, ESQ.,
1t seems to me that what ever interest Mitchell
takes in temporary capital should be in favor of
Sioux Falls because it is the only town on Mil
waukee road that has any chance, and not natur-
ally being so we'll located for permanent capital
as Huron or Pierre, would not acquire as much
prestige as either Of them and would not detract
as much from Mitchell's future prospects.

PRESSING AUTUMN LEAVES.

You are the autumn leaf, SAID he,
"And my arns are the book you know;
Now place the leaf in the book, you see,
And tenderly press it so.'
The maid looked up with glance demure,
And bushes her fair cheeks wore:
AS she softly whispered: THE leaf I'm sure
Needs pressing a little more"

Her lips were like the leaves, he said:
BY autumn's crimson tinted;
Some people autumn leaves preserve
BY pressing them, she hinted.

The lover did discern,
And SO clasping her round the neck,
He glued his lips to bern,

When a young man says his girl is
"worth her weight in gold" he is not
putting a very high valuation upon
her. At this rating 30 pounds of
girl is worth only about $4,000, and
any young mar who doesn't think
his girl worth more than $4,000
ought to be Kicked clear across the
claim by her big brother, and have
the family dog set after him.

The Mitchell papers each held
different opinions as to the proper To-
cation for the temporary capital.
The Cupitm thought the contest
narrowed down to Huron and Pierre;
and as the latter was at a greater dis
tanee from Mitchell, and thereby less
liable to injure it by a capital boom,
advised the voters of Dawson county
to favor it. The Republican,
thought the new editor of the Capt.
tai "off his base" two fresh IN Dako-
ia affairs, as it were, to know what
he was writing about. The Repu5-
lean, for some reason known only; to
a few, favored Chamberlain, probab-
ly because it knew it couldn't gain
the prize. The Mail with its charac-
t%eristic oddly had nothing to say,
further than to poke. its head over
the transom and remark: IF the
question to be voted on Tuesday is
where will the capital do Mitchell
the least harm, what's The matter
with Bismarck"

To Check Bleeding

The natural process by which bleed
ing is stopped is the formation of a
blood clot which plugs the orifice of
the divided vessel, says ':NIedicus' in
Good Housekeeping. When an artery
is divided the cut end r~etracts or
shrinks SO that the formation of a clot
is facilitated, but the blood current is
SO strong, unless loss of much blood
has diminished the force of the circu-
~lation, that it hinders the. coagulation.
1t should, therefore, be the aim of an
assistant to check or stop the flow of
blood from the artery in order that
the beginnings of clot-formation may
not be swept away by the current.
This may be accomplished by pressing
upon the orifice of the vessel in the
wound, or by pressing the edges of the
wound firmly together, or, in cases
where this is not easy and efficient by
COMPRISING the artery which supplies
the part from which the hemorrhage
is taking place in some part of its
course between the heart and the in
jury. The main arteries supplying the
head lie in the neck, one on each side
of the windpipe, where their pulsa-
tions may be readily felt. In case of
a wound Of an artery in the neck the
cut ends of the vessel should be COM
pressed with the finger, if possible. or
the artery, both below and above the
wound, should be pressed firmly back
wards against the backbone. Unless
skilled surgical aid can be speedily OBJ
tanned, there is little hope of saving
life in case these great vessels are
wounded.

Ses.ssl0sss to order.

Some curious revelations as to the
process by which sermons are manu-
featured were given in a case in the
law courts recently. A vicar at Dept
ford had, it seems, employed the wife
of a foreman In a mandatory there
to assist him in concocting his ser
mons, promising to remember her" in
his will by way Of remuneration. He,
however, omitted to make one, and
her claim Of 9100 a year compensa-
ton was not legally enforceable,
though If the vicar inflicted two SER
mons a Sunday on his congregation
the amount was not excessive for the
work done. For she had to select the
subjects and texts, and then ssout of
five family Bibles by different authors
she collected the notes, references, and
authorities. and set them In order
The idea is excellent, and for the in

Tg.e Arao and the Esropea,s.

The Arab is probably, man for man,
the fighting equal of the European.
He is physically unchanged since he
destroyed the Roman Legionary and
his barbarian auxiliary, swept the
fierce Visigoths up to the Pyrenees,
and contended during two centuries
with the picked warriors of Europe
for the possession of Syria, which he
ultimately retained; but, nevertheless
he will not win now. He can charge
al Englishmen charge, but it will be
in vain. The Six Hundred at Balak-
lava were not drawer than the $40 who
got inside the British square at Abu-
Kled, and staid there dead on the
ground; but 10000 of them will not
disperse 10000 Englishmen. The
physique, and the bravery, and the
self-sacriice of the children of Shem
will all when the browning moment
arrives and the tate OF half the world
in the balance, be as completely
wasted as if they were attacking
beings. The Arab has lost
nothing in the ages, but the European
has gained something. SONS impercep-

LepT0SV.

From the earliest time lepers, loath-
sd and feared by all men, have been a
class to themselves. There is little
doubt, writes a correspondent to the
Indianapolis Journal, that leprosy
originated in the valley of the Nile in
prehistoric times. Herodotus knew of
leprosy as existing in Persia. The
early Greek and Latin writers speak
Of it as a foreign disease, but it be-
came established in Greece and Italy
in the first century before Christ. The
disease spread enormously during the
middle ages. 1t was amid the stir
and movement of the crusades that
leprosy grew to be epidemic in west
ern Europe. 1t attacked the people in
great numbers, and in all ranks, in
Guiding members of the royal families.
The isolation of lepers was enforced
by law, and a special costume, usually
a long gray gown. with hood drawn
over the face, was worn, and a wooden
clapper was carried to give warning
Of their approach. They were forbid
len to enter inns, churches, mills, or
oake-houses, to touch healthy persons
Dr. eat with them, to wash in the
streams or walk in the narrow foot
paths.
The disease first began to decline in
Italy in the fifteenth century, and had
almost disappeared in the seventeenth.
At present there is, compared with the
middle ages, but little of it in the
world. and this is found principally on
The west coast of Norway, in Baltic
provinces of Russia, in certain coast
provinces of Spain and Portugal, in
Iceland and along the shore of the
Black sea. It is quite common all
over the east from Syria to Japan and
kamtchatka, in Egypt and north Afri-
ear states, and in various other parts
Of Africa. 1t is common in Damas-
Gus, Jerusalem, China, Japan, India,
Persia, and many islands of the sea,
especially in the Sandwich islands.
But as compared with the leprosy of
early ages, the disease may be said to
have disappeared from the earth. In
the Sandwich native islands, out of a
of 10000. about 5000 are
