A Very Thin Man.

Instances of remarkably thin men are
not uncommon, but Claud Ambrose
Seurat, who was in England in 1926,
was such an extraordinary parsonage
that during the time ne was exhibited
at the Chinese Saloon" in Pail Hall,
no fewer than seventy thousand persons
visited him in few weeks. Seurat was
born in 1897, and was therefore 20 years
of age when he made his appearance.
Sir Ashley Cooper the famous physi-
clan, was among the throng who pour
ed into the building in which Seurat re-
ceived those who were anxious to see
him, and wrote: "Seurat is, without
doubt, the most mysterious being have
encountered. His face is that of an
ordinary man, somewhat emaclated,
perhaps, but not remarkably so. His
eyes are bright, and his voice pleasing.
Seen in the ordinary costume of the day
he in no way differs from the average
foreigner. But stripped of his padded
clothing he presents an astounding
spectacle. His arms are mere bones
covered with parchment-like skin, and
muscles or flesh he appears to have
none. He is, therefore, scarcely able to
move his arms and legs, and walks,
though without apparent effort, with
extreme difficulty. On measuring him
and weighing him, | found that his
chest measurement was thirty and three
quarter inches, which is fair; that his
height was five feet six inches, but that
his weight was not more than forty-five
pounds, the bones being much smaller
than those of an ordinary man of his
stature who might weigh $50 pounds.
In appearance, indeed, he so much re-
sembles a skeleton that short-sighted
person might easily mistake him for
one" Seurat's food consisted of two
or three ounces of bread and meat daily,
and sometimes he took a little wine.
He was remarkably intelligent and well
read, and picked up English rapidly.
On arriving at places where he was not
known, he was accustomed to walk out
in his padded clothes, and did not at
tract any particular attention. He said
that until the age of 10 years he resem-
bled any ordinary boy, but thak he sud-
denly wasted away. He died in 1S49,
aged 81 years.

The Links of Chance.

Holding apoise in air
Ny twice-dipped pen-for some tense thread
of thought
Had snapped-mine ears were half aware
Of passing wheels; eyes saw, but mine saw
not,
My sun-shot linden. Suddenly, as I stare,
Two shifting visions grow and fade unsought;
Noon-blaZe; the broken shade
OF ruins strown. Two Tartar lovers sit:
She gazing on the ground, face turned,
afraid;
And he, at her. Silence is all his wit
She stoops, picks up pebble of green jade
To toss; they watch its flight, unheeding it.
Ages have rolled away;
And round the stone, by chance, if chance
there be,
Sparse soil has caught; a seed, wind-lodged
one day,
Grown grass; shrubs sprung; at last a tufted
tree:
Lol over its snake root yon conquering
Bey
Trips backward, fighting-and half Asia

After the death of Ralston, his back
er in the California theater, McCul-
Tough found that $780, paid in by him
to the bank had not been placed to his
credit. Before producing the receipts
for the payments he said;
"If this transaction will reflect on
Ralston's memory l will tear up the

The matter was never satisfactorily
adjusted. and Mccullough found it
necessary to continue his tour as star

debts. Overland Monthlu.

Value of Sanitary Precautions,

According to the Annals of Hygiene,
they have not had Il case of small
pox for one year past in Philadelphia.
If the Health Officer of the city re-
ceives in his morning mail notice of q
case of smallpox (suspected) he at
once sends word to the vaccine physi-
clan of the district to visit the sus-
pected house and neighbOrhood, and
vaccInate all who are not evidently
we'll protected, by this operation,
against the disease. The agents OF
the Board are at once dispatched to
thoroughly disinfect the suspected
premises, and to inquire into and in
sist upon the premises being placed
in proper sanitary conditions. Later
in the day the proper officer, when he
reports, is sent to Investigate the ma
ture of the case reported. The result is
that, whether the case be smallpox or
not vaccination and disinfectiOn are
secured. The neighbors of the doubt
full case are sufficiently frightened to
cheerfully submit to the necessary
precautions; and as a grand and
glorious result, this great city has
passed a whole year without case of
smallpox. This can he said of very
few large cities, if of any, i'll the
world. There never has been a time
in the history of this city when her
preparations to battle with this dis
ease were so good, and we see that
we have accomplished that which
sanitarians always tell us can be ac-
complished. We have dirty water at
least; we have badly paved streets;
we want sewers; but we have not had
smallpox. We empha7ie this fact, be
cause it is encouraging to those who
labor for the pnblic good, and it is the
presentation of such facts that will
enable us to convince the people of
the beneficence of sanitation.

Though the farmers in this INN

Though the farmers in this imme-
diate vicinity do get fine crop of
wheat this year, and though they
may realize fair price, they must
not forget that they are more lucky
than their neighbors, and that their
case is the exception, rather than the
rule. The fact is that in almost every
other section, the crop has been as
sailed in one way or another, and the
year 1886 will demonstrate more
stongly than any previous year, the
foolishness. of putting ones trust in
wheat. Portions of the west have
lost their crops by the hot winds,
which spread out their wings over a
large part of Dakota. Other sections
were devasted by the hail, others by
the drought, others by the frost, and
still others by the chinch bug, which
has done terrible work in the eastern
portion of the state. Altogether,
wheat raising is proving to be what
we have long claimed for it, most
uncertain business, and experience is
showing it to be as Improbable as it
is uncertain. Of course we do not
wish to gee our people abandon it al=
together, and there is no likelihood
that they will, but we hope to see it
relegated from the "chief and only
CROP" to its proper place in the long
list of pursuits that 60 to make up a
| diversified agriculture, which is the
great hope of this country.-Monte-

It is fortunate that the house was
induced to appropriate $5h0,0O0 for a
dynamite gunboat. One of these
small vessels can do more damage in
a few minutes than q pa, 100, 900 levia-
THAN iron-clad can do in q week. The
boat runs at railroad speed and is
provided with q pneumatic gun
throwing loaded project;le which
explodes upon impact a charge of
from two hundred pounds of dYn8=
mite or explosive gelatine, which ia
more terrific in its effects than the
ordinary dynamite. These projec-
ties can be thrown mile at the rate
of one minute. This apparatus is
the most formidable of modern wal
machinery, and half dozen vessels
carrying one pneumatic gun eagh
would, with the steel cruiser now
building, give US pretty respectable
naval nucleus. Pioneer Press.

The most critical voter, or ultra
party man, will credit the farmers OF
the 42nd district, with having selected
for standard bearers, honest, prudent,
aud reliable men. They must, at least,
acknowledge that they have made no
mistake this time; and their nom
inees command the respect of all men
of all parties. They have shown that
they comprehend the forces arrayed
against them, and have done wisely
and well in choosing men, who can
challenge criticism, and defy the most
subtitle slander. The senatorial can
didate, Mr.. ID. w. Hixson, of Grant
county, is one of the largest and
most prosperous farmers in the dis
trict, of commanding personal
presence, strong in body and brain.
A man of the blue who hardened his
fighting qualities under fire. He will
hold rs solid phalanX til e twelve
hundred voters of the county of Grant.
The legislative candidate, our own
r. A. Costello, is in every way the
peer of any man in the district. or
personal magnetism, generous to a
fault, yet trained in the cautious
realities ofa successful business life,
with large state acquaintance, he
will become if elected an influential
member. Since apprentice days he
has been identified with the labor
movement in the workingmen's
guilds; and, perhaps, is as we'll post
ed in the aims and demands that
have led to this indstrial revolution
as any man in four counties. Well
informed, keen and true as Il Toledo
blade, he will prove more than a
match for the most adroIt schemer of
the corporations. More over he is
the unqualified choice of the voters
of Big Stone county, and of. at least,
part of Traverse, irrespective of party.

The Farm Stock and Home sa

The Farm Stock and Home says:
"Some people use brine, others use
fiery medicines some use oak bark,
and others strong astringents. All
these cause pain in sore shoulders.
Salt and water do very well to help
harden the shoulders, if used several
days before using the horses; but af-
ter the shoulder is CALLED, or is a little
tender, the salt water should not be
used. We meyer saw any good come
from it. When the shoulders are
CALLED it is better to use cooling medi-
cines, such as cold, but not very cold,
water. Hattie them awhile, and then
use little lard oil, and also use pad
on the collar, so the collar will not
touch the sore. The pad must be six
or eight inches wide, and be smoothed
down so the wrinkles will not cut
another sore in the shoulder. When
cleaning the horse the currycomb
should never be used on the shoulders,
or any other place where the harness
is likely to gall, # the hide is little
tender, the comb is sure to start a
small scratch, and soon it is a very
large gall. The very best way to re-
move the sweat from the horses
shoulders is to rub it off with the bare
hand or q soft CLOTH. Sometimes it is
well to wash it off with clean water.
Never use fiery linaments on the sores
while the horse is working. It does
more hurt than good. Never pull of
the dry skin which is formed over the
sore during the night
