divide. When Reno and Custer separated
we watched them until they came down into
the valley. The cry was raised that the
white soldiers were coming, and orders were
given for the village to move. Reno swept
down so rapidly upon the upper end that
the Indians were forced to fight Sitting
Bull and were at the point where Reno at
tackled. Sitting Bull was the big medicine
man. The women and children were hastily

were encamped. The Sioux attacked Reno
and the Cheyennes Custer, and then all be-

meet of late on the anniversary Of battle,
and reunite in good feeling on field where
years before they were endeavoring to fight
one another to death. 1t is the manly and
soldierly thing to bury old animosities on

more magnanimous was the burial Of
the hatchet on the part Of our soldiers and
their savage antagonists on the recent oc-
casion of the tenth anniversary Of the Gus

Something About Chinese.

Chinese is a queer language. All its
words are only one syllable long.
But the sounds in the Chinese language
are not very many, some 465 at most,
and their written language contains
about eight thousand pictures, each
picture representing thing or idea.
And these pictures must be committed
to memory. This is hard work. and
not even the wisest Chinese professor
can learn them all. But now comes a
difficulty. For, of course, where there
are SO many words and so few sounds,
many different words have to be called
by the same sound. How then are
they to tell, when several different
things have exactly the same name,
which Of them is meant?
We have such words. For instance.
there is Bill, the name of boy; and
bill, the beak of bird; there is bill,
an old weapon, and bill, a piece OF
money; there is bill, an article over
which legislatures debate, and bill, a
claim for payment of money; besides
bills of exchange, bills OF lading, and
so forth. But Chinese is full Of such
words OF a single syllable, yen, for in
stance, which, like bill, means May
very different things So they chose a
number OF little pictures, and agree
that these shall be used as skeys. :"
Each 'key" means that the sign or
signs near which it stood belonged to
some large, general set OF things, like
things of the vegetable, mineral or
animal kingdom, forests, mines, or
seas, air. or water, or OF persons, like
gods or men. 1t was like the game
called throwing light, in which you
guess the article by narrowing down
the field until certain what it is.
But there Chinese writing stopped
short, thousands OF years ago. There
it is to-day. There are now PA OF
these 'keys," and, by intense appli,
cation, Cinnamon learn to use their
method with surprising quickness and
success Nicholas.

Increasing the Yield Per Acre

Considering the comparatively few
instances of a larger yield of wheat
than the average product, the great
majority of the crop must be consid-
erably smaller. This fact justi6es the
general complaint that wheat growing
does not pay. OF course less than 10
bushels per acre cannot pay the grow
or, but 20 bushels will pay a good
profit. The common objection that
if the product per acre were doubled
no market could be found for the crop
is both futile and foolish, for there is
no need to double the product in this
way. The point is to grow 20 bushels
on half the present acreage, and so re-
lease the surplus land for some other
crop. Thefarmer who grows 100 BUSH
els of wheat on 10 acres of land, and
gets $40 per acre for his crop, would
get $50 per acre If he grew the 100
bushels on 5 acres-a very easy pos
sibility.I He could have the other 5
acres in roots or in clover or pasture,
in q regular rotation, andby this anne
liorating culture SO improve the soil
that the average would soon grow to
80 bushels, which is about that OF
England. All this could be done with
out increasing the total product or
necessarily overstocking the general
market.

j. c.. Floods New House.
From the San Francisco Alta.

From the San Francisco Alta.
San Francisco's crown in the mat
ter of private architecture has rested
on the brow of the city's famous Mob
Hill for the past 10 years, but the
brightest jewel in the setting is just
receiving it's finishing polish. The
building referred to is the private resi-
dence OF J. C. Flood and family, who
will enter upon its occupancy as soon
as the Winter season opens, the Sum-
mer months, of course, being spent at
Mr.. Floods country seat near Menlo
Park. This building is probably the
most expensive private residence in
America. The structures ofveritable
New-York swelldom brownstone, and
the dim ensions in the clear are about
16O by 100 feet, with sufficient sur
rounding ground for a floral paradise
The artist in charge is the same gen
tleman who superintendent the finish
ing OF the mansions OF Vanderbuilt,
Stewart, Willard, and other Eastern
mlllionaires, and his delight over his
present task is such that he declares
that the parlors OF any of them would
be paled by comparison with the back
hall OF the Flood palace. 1t is idle to
estimate in particular the cost of any
of the parts of this magnificent edifce
or set value upon the whole. The
contractors for the interior decora
tions are said to have made an out
lay OF over 100000 for their work
and material alone.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, in May Brook

Another objection to fairs is that
those who are appointed to act as
saleswomen persist in urging those
who pass by to purchase something,
follow them into the crown, and will
not allow them to refuse to buy with
out being quite rude. The managers
OF all fairs should consider themselves
as a police force, watchful and vigilant
to detect the beginnings of any such
evils; without some such restraining
there will surely be trouble. Theyoun
are thoughtless, and desire to make
rapid sales, and ambition to swell
their receipts beyond the neighhoring
tables, may sometimes tempt them to
resort to objectional modes by which
to effect their objects; and If the super
vision is not strictly kept up, and any
such scheme instantly broken up, any
fair will have an evil influence for
overwhelming any good that might
be otherwise obtained.
There are many ways by which some
simple chance operation could obtain
access to some OF the many depart
ments, and, without great vigilance
from the managers, get well underway.
and cause trouble before they could
be broken up. Rafting should not be
tolerated for moment. GRAD bags,
cakes with one ring, when a dozen
children will buy one piece, hoping to
get the ring, and, Of course, all but
one must turn away disappointed and
envious, trees with little bags filled
with candy, in one OF which there is a
ring, or some simple ornament; all
these things are a species OF gambling.
Every child who spends it's three or
five cents in these ways, hopes to be
the lucky possessor of something
worth more than the money he put in.
II he finds he has spent his money
for naught, he draws away in
no pleasant frame OF mind, or,
with the rashness OF the true gamb-
Ter, again risks his pennies, hoping for
| s'better luck" next time In this triv-
ial operation he has perhaps laid the
foundation OF habit which may
prove his destruction in after years;
and those who have been successful risk
the same danger. Allsuch practices, if
allowed, will, of course, make any fair
source of sin and evil.
Another thing which is a great dis
honesty and tends to give fairs bad
reputation, is refusing to make change
for articles purchased. A gentleman
once told us that he had just made a
purchase OF things that amounted to
two or three dollars, but found he had
no change, and handed theyoung lady
at the table a twenty dollar bill. He
waited few moments. then said:
"1'll take my change, if you please"
ooh, we give no change" the lady
replied.
"Now," said the gentleman, after tell
ing this, "pm done with fairs. They
tend to make those engaged in them
dishonest. l would never trust that
young lady again"

Minnesota Railroad Lands to be Taxed.

The suits brought against the Southern
Minnesota Railroad company and South
ern Minnesota Extension company by At
torney General Hahn were dismissed on his
motion in the supreme court. The suits
were originally brought for the purpose of
bringing under taxation large amounts OF
land held by these companies. When the
Milwaukee & st. Paul purchased the road
these lands remained in the hands OF the
former companies, and hence escaped taxa
ton. The only way to bring them under
taxation was for the companies to dissolve,
or to deed the lands over to the Milwaukee
& St. Prul. When the suits were first
brought, Mr.. Carey, OF the Milwaukee e.
St. Paul. signified his intention OF having
the lands properly conveyed. Attorney
General Hahn received notice from him
that the deeds had been properly made out
and recorded, and he accordingly moved
to dismiss the suit. This action brings I'M
der taxation fully one million acres Of
land, thereby adding materially to the
states revenue.
