There is no class Of legislation in Dakota or
Minnesota in which the people of the North
west generally are more deeply interested than
in that which seeks to correct injustice in rail-
way tariffs, regulate the transportation systems
and prevent unfair discrimination. Dr. W. r.
Collins, OF Grand Forks, member OF the Da-
kota legislature, who has taken quite an active
interestfn this subject, is preparing modiica-
tions OF the Dakota railroad law. He proposes
to increase the powers Of the commission, to re-
Guire them to hold public sessions for the consid-
Grafton ofcomplaints from shippers, and to make
the commission u board OF arbitration. This
method Of creating board of arbitration to
consider complaints, and clothing them with
power to enforce their own decisions, is one
OF the falrest and most satisfactory remedies
fer fer railroad abuses In vogue. The question
Of rate Is ss2ch complicated one that castiron

of the Courier. In his first number the editor
says: 1.-THE name indicates the paper's course
on all questions Of importance. 1t is not a
political plant, strictly speaking, and will keep
far enough out of the well-worn ruts of either
party as to be able to see the good arising from
both" We wish Brother Vallardigham sue

Among the diversified industries of
Louisiana that of moss is not the least
interesting nor least important. New
Orleans receives annually about 20, 600
bales, valued at say S175,0 900. OF these
receipts some 10000 bales are rehandled
by the city moss gins, and the remainder
is sold or shipped in the condition in
which it is landed. The forests and
swamps of Louisiana are stocked with
an unlimited supply of the fibre. That
procured from the live oak tree is the
better quality. The g~athereTSof green
moss heap it up on piles, wet it and
weigh it down with earth or logs, and
the heat generated by the decaying bark
surrounding the fibre hastens the pro-
cess of curing, and in two OF three
months, according to varying seasons,
the decomposition is complete. The
moss is then turned out and dried.
cleaned by hand of sticks and dirt, and
baled and shipped. Liye-oak 0 so
cured and carefully cleaned commands
readily four cents per pound. In passing
the moss through the gins there is a loss
of about forty per cent. i'll weight, but
When the black moss comes out it looks
as clean and glossy as the finest aud
blacklist hair. The moss is turned out
from the gin inneat looking bales, bran
ded according to quality, and shipped in
orders all over the country. Its price
is not as high as it was a few years ago.

A patent has been obtained by Prof.
A. K. Huntington for improvements IN
metallic alloys, the object of which is
to secure strength, elasticity, and close
ness of grain by the addition of a cheap
and easily accessible material. For
this purpose, to the copper or alloy he
adds a small quantity of silicious iron
which may contain a small proportion of
other metals, such as manganese, tung-
sten, or the like, The mixture is made
while the materials are in a molten
state and as nearly as possible at the
same temperature. AS examples of al
Toys made according to the invention,
to copper and tin in the usual proper
ton for gun-metal add not more than
two per cent. silicious iron; to copper
and zinc in the usual proportion for
brass add not more than five per cent.
silicious IRON; in bronzes or brasses
where tin is present besides copper and
zinc, a less proportion of silicious iron
is used than when there is no tin.
Generally, when zinc forms part of the
alloy, it Is preferred to use silicious
iron containing a proportion of manga
nese.

MCCOY, when he came 60 Scott
County, went to work for a farmer
named Hit, who had a very charming
daughter Emma. A young man whom
Farmer Hit had repeatedly driven
from the place continued to come
around, paying his addresses TO the
daughter until finally the father, de-
spairing Of keeping him away by any
milder means, hired Mccoy to thrash
aim every Sime he came near. Once or
twice, OF may be more, the young man
came, saw the girl, took his thrashing,
and departed. But one day there came
the end of this sort Of thing. Mccoy,
returning from town, where he had
gone as driver and escort for the daugh-
ter. approached the father, saying:
"Well, Mr.. Hit, I've settled this
business of that young fellows coming
around here TO see Em.n
what do you mean2'i asked the far
me-.
II mean that he won't come any
more, an you can bet on it."
why, Mac, you haven't killed him,
have you2n asked the farmer fearfully,
"No. Better than that.n
"What them"
'I'ye married En-"
The old farmer flew into a dreadful
g but Mccoy had the girl and there
was no getting her away from him, so
Farmer Hit, like a sensible man, made
the most of it, and gave his son-in-law
a piece of land, which he is now filling,
while Emp minds the babies like du-
tiful wife.

"NeXt."

"NextI'' yelled a Third street barber
as he looked around the room for a new
customer. At the call a long-haired
cowboy from the bad lands Of Montana
and a Minneapolis dude came to their
feet and advanced towards the char.
The dude was a little ahead and seated
himself, when the COW pumcher said he
was in a hurry, and ordered the dude
up; but he claimed he was in his turn
and didn't come up.
Look hyar, ye pin-legged gopher,
howled the Montana tough, EFF yer don't
vamoose outer that chair in less, than
two shakes of a steers tail, I'll break
yer up and use yer to plug rat holes
WITH
And the cowboy let off an athletic
laugh that made the barber urnchalky,
but the dude didn't move.
Did yer hear me murmurp shouted
the cattleman.
'Aw, yaas, 1 aw heard sawmthing,'
replied the dude.
'Yaas, aw, wal, aw, III give yaw just
bali a minute TO git"
"Weally, my boy replied his dude
ship, you see | cawn't think Of moving
so rapidly. 1t isn't natural, you knaw;
it is WEAKLY too warm for such exaw-
else"
'Aw, it is, aw, wal, I'll jest taker er
contract to move yer, and the COW man
moved over in the direction of the half
reclining dude, and caught him by the
collar. The barber said he thought a
Dakota threshing machine had moved
in and taken possession for the next five
minutes; the cowboys boot went over
and got mixed with a lot of cosmetics;
a seyen-shooter from his belt got into a
tussel with a hair brush and a lot OF
razOrs, his hair was pounded down into
the cracks Of the floor, and the mirror
was %spattered with drops of his gore.
When the dude finished, the cowboy
looked as though he had been holding an
Indignation meeting in a slaughter
house, and strengthening his nose and
gathering up what was left of his raj
ment, he said he guessed he'd go over
to another barber shop, there was too
mnny ahead Of him, and he was in con-
siderable of a hurry. The dude, pulling
a handful of the cowboys hair out of
his pocket and dropping it into the
waste basket, said:
That will put me in good trim for the
ball game this afternoon.

A French geologist, Mons, DeLap.
parent, lately called the attention of the
Paris Geological Society to the effect
gravitation has in heaping up sea-wA
tiers about the land. The continents
are thus all situated at the tops of hills
of water, and in crossing the Atlantic
the ship has first to go down hill, then
to cross a valley, and finally to climb
another hill. The calculation has been
made that in mid-ocean the surface may
be more than half a mile Q00O metres)
below the level it would have if the
continents exerted no attraction.

We should not preach so much Ia
people; we should give them an interest

tonably become good.
To do all the good you can to your
fellow beings, to have a pure con.
science, to gain al honorable livelihood.
to procure for yourself Ly work a little

See here. my farmer friend, says NJ.
Quad, let me give you few facts. Inc
average farmer shOrtens the services OF
his lumber wagon Il year by leaving
it out in the sun and dew. His plow
would last one year longer if kept pant
ed and sheltered. For the want OF a
little attention his harness wears Il
only half its DAYS. His barns and sheds
90 to rack for the want of paint. Where
the hoof-rot could be stopped i'll the
first sheep if he were posted, he stops II
i'm the thirtieth. The farmer who gets
his agricultural hints from the almanac
loses his hogs by cholera, his fowls by
the pip. and his horses slObber from his
gate to the village store and back. Let
a mar run your farm ON business prln-
ciples and the fence corners would not
take up four acres out of every forty;
there would be no old box-drains about
the house to bring typhoid fever and
DOCTORS bills. Those leaks in the roof
of the barn would not spoil three or
four tons of hay next year; the, want of
an eave-trough on the house would not
cave in the cellar walls; the first sign of
disease among the live stock would be
promptly treated; tools and implements
of every sort should be carefully housed
and
Wen / am going to shock you. I'd
have the harness oiled and buggieS and
wagons washed once a week. I'd have
a lawn about the house, and make a
display of flowers and shrubs; I'd give
a party now and then, and I'd cncour-
age meetings of farmers once or twice a
month, not to kick about railroad
freights or jaw about politics, but to
post each other on farm work and the
best way TO manage it.
But about the boy? Intelligence and
energy rightly applied to farm labor
would give every farmers boy holiday
in every week in the year. Let him go
fishing or hunting, or swimming or
riding. Let him go to town and con-
suit buyers and sellers and post up.
Let him have books and papers and tools.
Give him a chance to earn something
and own something. Surprise him some
day by the statement that he is not a
slave whose only return for his hard
work are slop clothes, cheap fare and
poor lodging. Surprise him still more
by asking his opinion now and then,
and by giving him a chance to prove
his theories.

Late Investigations indicate that the
c~hlorophyl, or green coloring substance
Of the leaves, is most liable to pick up
metallic matter absorbed by the roots
of plants. When vines have been man
ured with the sulphate of copper most
of the metal is deposited in the leaves,
merely a trace appearing in the juice of
the grapes. T~ea-leayes contain much
iron, doubtless due to the ochreous soil
on which they best grow.

Anent low-ceiled rooms, or ceilings
even with the window tops, it is urged
that such rooms may be more perfectly
ventilated than those with high cell
ings. The leaka 20 Of air which is al
ways going on keeps the air In motion,
whereas in high-ceiled rooms only the
lower part of the air is moved, and an
inverted lake of foul air is left floating
in the space above the window tops.
Moreover the heating of low-ceiied
rooms is accomplished at much less ex-
pense than the heating of high-ceiled
rooms.
