The Black Hills people are jubilating
oyer the near approach ofthe railroad.
Track laying has begun from Buffalo
Gap north and the rails are expected to
reach Rapid City by June 18th. With
the advent Of the railroad will come a
prosperity to the Hills which there is
every reason to believe will far exceed
the most ~sanguine anticipations of the
old timers who "rustled" and prospected
in the gulches from Rapid to Deadwood
nearly ten years ago. Unlike most
mining sections, the Black Hills rise
from the midst Of rich and productive
farming lands and a section of country
entirely capable of supplying most of
the necessaries Of life from within a few
miles of the mining camps. With its
gold and silver, mica and tin, iron and
coal, the Black Hills country is more
richly endowed with mineral wealth
than any other section Of the west. The
coming of the iron horse will enable
that region to produce the precious mel
tie more cheaply, and consequently to
increase production while other indus
tries long dormant will spring into a
prosperous activity as the result Q frapid
and open communication with the
manufacturing centre Of the country

Germany is nothing if not aggressive,
and this is especially true Of her com
mercial policy. Just now the tin-plate
makers of the "land O. fogs" are in a
ferment because it is rumored that Ger.
man emessaries are prowling about the
Swansea district, trying to purloin the
alleged secrets of tin plate making, with
a view to setting up opposition factories
and striving for a share of the trade be.
tween Swansea and America. This, the
English papers say, they would be able
to do, because of the lower wages paid
in Germany, and the South Wales
manufacturers have deemed the matter
of Sufficient Importance to call a meet
ing and take steps to exclude all strngers
rigidly from their works.-Denver Jour

ly raising the phone to her ear, she
softly replied:
"Hello! what do you WANT"
"Dr. Iiighfyer-No. 2222."

pain in the back of her neck, and com

Here the wicked telephone Cir
switched on a machinist, who was tell

to D~oodoodle's question was as follows
Il think she's covered with scales in

down during the night, and before She,
fired up in the morning, take a hammer
and pound her thoroughly all over, and
then take a hose and hitch it on to the

Few people who see a sealskin sacque

process by which it is put on the market

with Lewis Lewis, of ~Vanconvcr's Island,
about the seal industry, and he gave me
some points about the preparation of the
skins for use in wearing apparel When
first taken from the animal they little re-
scmhle the warm, glossy and uniform
surface which they present upon the
streets of the great cities in winter time.
Until they are dyed and cured the skins
are Of Il light brown color and generally
full Of sand. In the process of making
them valuable the fies.y side is pared
down until it is no thicker than paper.
The long hairs are then pulled out and
the fur is dyed. The cost of the article
consists principally In the labor that is
expended N the skin. The dying and
finishing are all done in London and have
never been attempted in this country
with complete success.-New York Tri-

This flat method of living cuts off the
people from any out-of-door life except
that of the houlevards and the public
parks, and yet no people love the pen air
like the parisians They spend but little
time, summer or winter, in their rooms.
The boulevards are full from eight in the
morning until after midnight; and
women take their work and go of with
their children to spend the whole day in
the parks. The Champs Elysees is al
ways full of nurses in caps with babies in
their arms. You may see peasant women
