Awake o hearth and sleep no morei
There's some one knocking at the door;
His feet have come a weary way;
And still abide your long delay.
He patient stands, and gently knocks,
Your silence grieves him. Rise, o heart,
Unbar the door lest Christ depart
For CHRIS 1t is who deigns to stand
And ask for what he might demand-
An open door, a ready seat,
A welcome for his presence sweet.
He comes TO save you bv his grace;
He comes to bring you heavens place.
Awake o heartl and sleep no morei
There's some one knocking mt the door.

From all that we can learn from
farmers and machine agents-the
latter Of whom are as thoroughly
posted as any clasa Of men-the crop
outlook in Brule county is about
this: Early wheat averages we'll
exceedingly well-and does not seem
to be affected by the hot winds of
the past ten days. Early oats will
not average quite as well-although
there are hundreds of fine fields all
over the county. The late wheat
and oats have been injured by the
drought, oats feeling it the worst,
the latter will probably not yield more
than half q crop. Rye and barley
were out of harms way long before
the hot wave came and the yield is
excellent. Flax has been injured
more seriously than any other grain,
but a few timely rams and cooler
weather may bring the crop out much
better than expected. In spite of
the hot, windy days and nights
without particle of dew, the cern
looks we'll, and of perfect color. In
fact, among perhaps fifty fields We
have seen within the past few days,
only one shows the effect of the in
tense heat and that but little. AL
in all, the farmers of Brule county
ought to be we'll satisfied, considering
the gloomy outlook from many
other sections of Dakota, as well al
from the eastern states. The cropi

AAoat SnokinR,

A number of literary men smoke
simply to make an income. They
have learned that with a pipe in

more readily, but in better order, and
that while it is often difficult to get

There probably is not an editor or
writer who smokes but what will
fully endorse the above, strange and

. non-c consumer of the weed. 1t is
said that an editorial desk without
a pipe or cigars handy is hard to find,
and our own experience is that we

The Deadly Ice Crcaz.

1t appears that the true cause of
the recent ice cream disasters is a
little microscopic wiggler known as
"tyrotoxicon," which is to be found
in milk which has been kept in an
impure atmosphere. The effects on
the system are much the same and
fully as deadly as the trichina which
skips about in the porker. The "tyro-
to1icon" appears 10 be hardy little
cuss. Naturally, his little feet get
awful cold from standing around in
tho ice cream, but he doesn't mind a
little thing like that. He simply
watches his chance to mingle with
somebody's gizzard and then he
makes them think they have swal.
lowed fourth of July celebration. If
young people will eat the chilly
stuff, they should take the precaution
to first chloroform the ice cream and

wait until they hear the "tyrotoxicon'
loudly snoring, and even then We are
not sure but their real safety would
be in flight.

More aAOut Fish.

Since our artesian lake was first
formed we have been IN communica.
tion with the best known authorities
on fish culture in this country, many
of them personal acquaintances.
Among those we have received letters
from in answer to inquiries about
stocking the lake with fish are DR..
Henshall, of Kentucky, and Chas.
Hallock, both well known authors,
and scientists in all that pretains to
fish. AN seem to agree that black
bass will not thrive III the lake and
that 1t will be an experiment with
carp. Although we did not think to
write to Seth Green, we are in receipt
to the following letter from him,
which throws more light on the
subject. Mr.. Green is superintend-
ent of the New York State Fishery
Commission.
Rochester N. Y. July 8, 1888.
C. B. Tinan,
do not regard your pond, or lake, as
large enough for black bass as they are good
breeders and require great deal of food. Carp
would be more liable to do veil, but a. your
water there has more or less slkali it would be
an experiment whittier they would live or not.
Lime would not be liable to hurt them, but
strong slkah is sure death. l enclose you a
circular which will give you some ideas con-
corning carp culture.
You're Truly,
Seth Gfeen.

Every school boy in the United
States knows when the 4 of July
arrives, but every one doesn't know
Just why be is permitted to raise such
an internal racket on that particular
day. During the examination of
class in certain primary grade of
the nublic school of Cleveland at
the last final examination, the question
was asked, "Why do we celebrate
the 4 of July?" One patriotic little
fellow answered: because Christ
was born or that day" Another
thought it was "because Christ was
crucified on that day." Another
said it was "because it vas the hot
test day in the year." The fourth
answer was "because there is no
school on that day"

on his farm. The heads Of the wheat
were long and well filled and the
berries full and plump. The wheat
did not seem to have been injured in

of the past two weeks. The crop
was cut the first OF this week, and

Perhaps the reason so many girls
chew gum is to prevent nose bleed.
1t is said that vigorous action of
the jaws is the best remedy for the
trouble. The motion of the Jaws
cause the muscles, through which
the blood vessels supplying the nose
run, to contract and hinder the blood
from flowing to the nose.

A Phenomenon.

People near the arteslan lake about
l:l5 p. m. Monday had an opportu-
nifty of witnessing peculiar phe-
nomenon, which was no less than a
miniature whirlwind or cyclone. 1t
formed suddenly over the road near
D. B. Buffers residence aud lasted
about a minute. 1t whirled with
lightning rapidly and formed a
column of dust in the air several
hundred feet high. At a distance il
looked like a column of smoke
arising straight up from an engine
smoke stack. At the time of the
phenomenon the atmosphere was
oppresively sultry and motionless.

A PHILOSOPHER who has been giving the
subject of badness much attention, has
reached the conclusion that 1t is due to a
reduced blood supply to the scalp Such
result may be brought about by the wearing
OF stiff hat that fits the head too closely,
pressing down on the larger blood vessels
and reducing their blood supply. This is
the medical theory of the situation, and it is
tar removed from the Hammond dogma that
as civilization advances the human race will
become bald. The latter hypothesis would
assume that intense brain labor is fatal to
hairiness OF the Uranium. A comparison Of
the portraits of the signers of the Declaration
of Independence with an equal number Of
modern statesmen is said to disclose an aston
ishing preponderance of hair for the former.
If that whole body of bold, able men who
threw down the gauntlet of defiance at
Great Britain one hundred and ten years
ago had been entirely shorn OF hair, they
could hardly have done their work better.
so that the argument that badness and
superior brains go hand in hand must not be
regarded as entirely established. IT this
theory ever became conclusive of mental
ability, the square surface of bald head, now
80 carefully hidden, would become its pos
sessor's biggest card.
