Moscow, May ~, 1888, amid great pomp
and splendor, and the coronation exercises
were chronicled even to the slightest de-
tails by the newspapers at the time. He is

all foreigners. His younger brother,
the Grand Duke Alexis, visited the
United States in 1871, and was

discharged from Sing Sing prison dur

AUSTIN CoRBIN indirectly owes his
Manhattan Beach property to his son,
bright lad, known as "Austin the
Second" A dozen years or more ago,
when the boy was an infant, he was
seriously ill, and the family physician
ordered him removed to the seashore
instantly. Coney Island was the near
est point from the Corbin home in
Brooklyn, and Wyckoff's was the best
hotel on the island. Thither the Cor
bins went in a carriage, and waited all
day for back bedroom to be vacated
During the summer Mr.. Corbin spent
his Sundays with his family, and often
wandered over the eastern end Of the
island, then a wilderness. In the end
he bought the property for what now
seems song, and young Austin's life
was saved.

A STRIKING similarity to black wal
nut, it is said, can now be manu-
featured from poor pine by the follow
ing method: One part of walnut peel
is mixed with six parts OF water, and
the wood is coated with the solution.
When the material is about half dry, a
solution of bichromate of potash with
water is rubbed on it, and then your
walnut is ready. In this way excel
lent walnut can be made from poor
pine, and it is safe to defy detection
except upon very close examination.

Yankton's college will be opened for
another collegs year tomorrow, and
during the working months between
now and the next summer commence
ment the educational labors of this insti-
tuition will be pushed with all the vigor
of youthful health and strength. The
college enters upon the new year with
an increased roll of students and in
creased facilities for imparting ipstruc-
ton. There is larger proportion than
ever before OF students from abroad,
most of the important cities and strong
rural communities being represented
among those who come to Yankton to
build strongly in their own future
interest. With Yanhton college the
days OF its struggle for beginning and
foothold are over. 1t has risen fully
equipped for ennobling work through the
persistent efforts of those who gave it a
name and place and have nurtured it
through its infantile days. It's success
tells the story of possible accomplish
inents in the intellectual field here upon
the broad prairies of the west where the
plowshare of the bread winner turns
the virgin soil beneath the shadow of
monumental structures consecrated to
the enlighteniag labor of the pioneers of
education. AS strong as its own granite
walls is the structure within, which
offers to the youth of Dakota the advan-
tages of the best educational SYSTEMS of
the century inspired east. Our college
has grown rapidly, as everything grows
rapidly in the west, because it must
overstep the tedious processes OF
development employed in it's far away
models and reach a. once position
where 1t can compete with those which
have built inch by inch, step by step up
to the exalted plane of their present
existence. We know of no institution
in which Dakota should feel more
stalwart pride than its Yankton college,
which leads all the rest in material
advancement and glorious promise for
the future. This is It's position as ii
enters upon the new college year. Its
doors are open to all and it extends to
ell the priceless tribute of knowledge.

Harry Whiteside,. of Harbor Point, was
out with q fishing party at Bear Lake,
and happened to stray alone up brook
about four miles from camp.
While engaged in fishing he caught
sight of bear cub. He gave chase and
captured young Bruin, and started off
for camp with his prisoner. The latter
did not relish his new acquaintance, and
kept up squealing that made the woods
ring.
Whiteside had barely started when he
heard cracking in the bushes, and,
glancing back, saw young Bruins
mother, huge black bear, rapidly bear
ing down upon hiua. Whiteside took to
his heels, and to facilitate his flight
dropped in succe ssion his SIS fishpole,
hat and coat, but Mrs Bruin cared for
none of these things, and came on like an
avalanche.
After many regrets he concluded it
would be best to drop the cub; but what
was his surprise and terror to find that
the bear passed it's offspring without
recognition and continued its mad
charge.
It was gaining every minute, and once
as Whiteside slipped it caught mouth
full of his shirt. In the desperation of
the moment it occurred to him to try the
effect of fire, and taking a newspaper
from his pocket he lighted it and thrust
it into the bears eyes. The effect was
magical. The bear wheeled about and
