GENERAL MANAGER CAKES, Of the
Northern Pacific railroad, states that
at the New York meeting Of the
board of directors the following fran
chises were considered, but not decid-
ed upon: From Spokane Falls mp the
valley of Hangman's creek TO the Pa
louise country, and thence to Lewiston,
at the junction of Snake and Clear
water rivers. This line would be built
by the las ern Washington railway
company, organized for that purpose;
also line from Drummond to Phil
lipsburg for mining business; a south
ern branch from Ten Mile creek, Hell
ena and Benton were talked of. In
regard To the Butte road he says: "If
arrangements are not made in the
immediate future whereby the North
err Pacific can run its own cars into
Butte, We will build our line there,
and that at no distant day" He
thought that the sale of the company's
land east of the Missouri would be
completed, and stated that the North
ern Pacific express would continue as
an independent line.

THE commissioner of the general
land Office is nothing If not sensa-
tionsl. He evidently intends to keep
his name before the public, and cares
little for the merits of the connection.
His last raid upon the settlers of the
northwest consists In AN order for the
suspension of the surveys In the
DEVILS Lake. Turtle Mountain, and
Moose river regions, on the plea tina,
Secretary Teller's opinion that the In.
dian title had been extlnguished was
unsound, and that Congress may wish
TO have something to say on the sub
ject. This suspension is accompanied
Of course by the clouding Of the title OF
large numbers of settlers, thirteen
counties being included In the district,
and the rights of 10000 people in
volved. Dakota will need but few
more setbacks from the present ad-
ministration of the character of these
bulls Of Sparks to insure an enthusiast
tic following for the Democratic party
on the part of its enthusiastic citizens,
when once it has an opportunity to
express itself at the polls.

frank IT, converse in Bpst VI Globe
That it is easier to instil into our
young peoples minds a genuine love for
reading than love for genuine reading
goes without saying II is an undenia-
BILE fact that most young people, no mat
ter what their social or educational sur
roundings mag be, have a natural
drawing toward improbable fiction
rather than an instructive fact, and pre-.
fer 10 read stories OF exciting incident
or adventure rather than modern sta
tistics or ancient history.
Especially is this true OF the average
boy of to-day. Try as hard as you will
to educate him up to your own ideas of
what is best in literature if you your
self have scholastic inclinations), you
will find that if he follows in the course
you have laid out for him it is far more
through motives of duty than inclina-
ton, and he will turn with surprising
aiacrity from the perfunctory perusal
Of science to the fascinating stories of
Jules Verne or some other favorite ia
vorite boy-author Remember, | am
speaking of the average boy.
Look back at the so-ealled novels"
read under protest in your own boyish
days. Stories, perhaps, of stirring ad-
ventures by land or sea, which, border
ing somewhat on the improbable and
marvellous, had nevertheless no actually
harmful tendencies and brought you
none. 1t is true that overmuch reading
of light literature tends to unfit the
mind for more solid reading. But We
are presuming that even il the average
boy-who is generally given to thinking
far more than We give him credit for
does not recognize the fact. the parent
who interests himself in his boys read.
ing will do so, and act accordingly.
In the coming millennium all works Of
fiction for the young will ha Q the re-
lining and elevating tone which unfor-
tunately only gifted few of our mod
ern writers for the young seem able to
infuse into their work. Let the young
who do not affect Scott or Irving cram"
80 to speak, if they wish, with Trow-
bridge. stockton, Barnard, Stoddard,
Mrs. Dodge, Miss Alcott, Mrs. Whitney
and half a score of similar writers, and
| will guarantee them against the posi-
BILE harm that is sometimes feared from
the writings of the less gifted who in
struct, interest and amuse, even while
they do not directly appeal to the best
and highest good in boy nature.
Leaving out OF the question the per-
piciolls cheap literature recognizable "a
a glance, and the so-called boys pa
perS, which are but degree removed
in Sulgarity and grossness from the
tIashy criminal or sporting paper,
would, with the restrictions previously
limited at, give to the average boy carte
blanche in public or private library,
rather than, by overmuch carping or
criticising of his tastes, cause him TO
finally seek his amusements elsewhere.
For this is fast living age, and the out.
side associations for the young were
never more dangerous than now.

Menmerized His Dying Father.

Is there thrilling fact in the supposi.
titious case presented at the last meeting
of the PHYSIOLOGICAL association, or was i,
only curious piece of fiction? Lawyer
Cathcart made hypothetical question,
as follows: "A rich man was dying. His
body was very weak, but his mind was
strong and clear, though acutely sensi-
tive in consequence of the nervous ma
ture of his disease. He had made a will
leaving all his property to sisters chit

tranged son.

and an effort to turn away his head. the
father submitted to the interview, grew
kindly. then affectionate, and finally or
dered his lawyer to write codicil to the
will revoking the previous requests, and
making the reclaimed son sole heir. The
mental sounduess of the testatOr was be-
yond all assail, and no contest of the will
could be thought of on that ground.
But it can be proven conclusively that
the son had been for several years pro-
fessional mesmerizer i'm England. that
before going abroad he was capable of
curious feats in psychology, and that his
natural will power was enormous. Such
being the points susceptible of substan-
tiation, could the will be successfully
attacked on the theory that it was made
while the dying man WAS under the con-
troll Of his sons mind!" The query is
worth stating to general readers on ac-
count of it ingenuity. at all events.-New

Care Of the Esrs.


''Picking the ears is most mis-.
chievous practice; in attempting to d.
this with hard substances an unlucky
motion has many q time pierced the
drum and made II as useless as q bursted
rubber life-preserver; nothing sharper OF
harder than the end of the little finger,
with the nail pared, ought ever TO b
introduced into the ear, unless BY q
physician.
Persons are often seen endeavorinR
to remove the wax" q the ear With
the head of pin; this ought never to
be done: first, because it not only en-
dangers the rupture of the ear by being
pushed too far in, but if not 80 far, it
may CRATE against the drum, excite in.
fammation, produce an ulcer which
may finally eat all the parts away; Sec
ond, hard substances have often slipped

dangerous, and expensive operations;
third, the wax is manufactured by ma

Interaction of Mind and Body.

The interaction Of mind and body, II,
disease. is well set forth by DIR. Hacker,
of Leipsic, who states that tickling, which
he styles variable, intermittent excite
ment of the nerves of the skin, produces;
irritation of the sympathetic nerves, with
the result of an expansion of the pupil
and contraction of the blood vessels,
and that the consequent diminution Of
pressure on the brain. permeated with
blood vessels, is so considerable as not &c
be without danger; that powerful expira.
ton operates against such diminution
of pressure. and therefore laughter.
which is simply intermittent forced
movements of expiration. is a decided
remedy for the effects Of tickling.

Gov. PIERCE, of Dakota, was inter
viewed in Chicago upon the Dakota
question. He said that the prospects
for admission were far more promis.
ing than he had had reason to believe.
Senators Moody and Edgerton had
made a very favorable impression on
both Republicans and Democrats. He
thought the proposition to divide the
territory on the Missouri river most
unwise one. There would be, he
thought, little difficulty in securing
the passage of the territory as whole,
but the people of the southern part
would not consent to this. They
would rather remain as territory
than go in as whole. He thought If
Montana was TO be admitted with Da-
kota q great deal Of the objections at
present urged would cease. In any
event some relief should be afforded
the territory in the matter of its laws.

have lately been added to the sick list here.
80 Among the constant surprises in life
are the oftentimes wonderful results of
seemingly small causes Nearly score of
years ago we made the acquaintance in the
West of an Englishman by birth and n
lawyer by profession, but a well-nigh ruined
man by strong drink. We are just now told
that he was reclaimed and lived and died a
temperate man. His wife told the story of
how he was helped to one who tells it to u.s.
Nothing could be simpler. There came to
his town to live two Christian men, who in
one way and another were thrown in with
him, and who, it seems, were specially kind
to him, treating him at least as though he
had been created in his Makers image and
might yet be restored to manhood. We can
hardly suppose there was not in the hearts
of such men very earnest desire to rescue
this man, even though 1t may not have
found expression in but what seemed to him
and his friends a most commonplace way.
But as there is omnipotent power in Chris
tan kindness, wisely and persistently di-
rected, this man was led to take heart and
hope, and the power of that accursed demon,
drink, was finally broken. What wonder,
then, that his wife should love to tell the
story of how her husband was helped by
the power of simple kindness
