A Dakota Blizzard.
St. Nicholas for September.

st. Nicholas for September.
Little or no snow falls in Dakota
from Novemberto April, 1t is toocold
to snow, and the blizzard is not a
snow storm Gin the ordinary sense
of the word), but cold wind which
comes sweeping down from Behring
Straight, with velocity of from fifty
to sixty miles an hour, bringing with
ita blast Of finely powdered ice. I'm
agine thick fog, all of ice, blown
along by high wind; the tiny par
ticles, coming with such velocity,
sting like blow from whip-lash.
Nothing can stand before it. Those
buffalo and cattle, who are used to it,
make for the lee side of the nearest
hill, haystack, or building, and hud-
die close together for safety, trusting
to being covered by the snow, and
thus kept warm; when, if the storm
does not last too long, they may es-
cape alive. .t
You can not see across the street
from one house to another, and men
have been frozen to death within a
few feet of home and safety. The
thermometer falls many degrees be-
low zero, beyond the power of mer-
curry to measure it; only the best
spirit-thermometers can be used for
these low temperatures. When 60
ing with the wind you are driven
along with resistless force; if against
it, you are knocked down and buffet
ed about; unless you are so fortunate
as to find speedy help and shelter,
you are almost sure to be frozen to
death.

Didn't Find it.

At eleven o'clock the other night q
boy appeared on Michigan avenue,
near Third street, with lantern, and
began to search the pavement. Sew
eral men at once accosted him, and
asked the object of his search; but he
fought shy ola reply. In ten min
utes fifteen men were searching. In
fifteen minutes there were four Ian
terms flashing around. When the
crowd had increased to thirty the
boy had extinguished his light, and
slid off up Third street and entered q

search until an officer came along,
and asked what they were looking

Bottles that Won't Break.

Exchange,
The paper bottle industry has
achieved considerable success in the
West, and is gradually extending
throughout the United States. Fore
most among the advantages accruing
from this new adaptation of paper is
the fact that the bottles are unbreak-
able, while the cost at which they
can be placed on the market is con-
siderably lower than that of an article
of the same size In glass, stoneware or
tin. A great saving in weight is
moreover affected, desideratum OF
no small moment where cost OF
carriage of large numbers has to be
taken into consideration, while the
cost Of packing is reduced to a
minimum, for breaking in transit,
which is a constant source of loss with
glass bottles, is obviously impossible.
Special machinery is employed in
the manufacture of paper bottles. A
long slip of paper of requisite thick
ness, having been formed into a tube
by bending around a circular "man.
drel," is covered externally with an
outer glazed sheet, bearing any labels
to be employed; the tube is then cut
into short lengths, to the end ofwhicf
are added tops, bottoms and necks O
paper-or of wood, ifspecial strength
is required-nothing further beyond
pouring in and lining the inside will
composition, which, on setting, will
effectualy resist the action of acids
spirits, inks, dyes, etc. The utiliza
ton of paper is constantly receiving
new adaptations, a bare enumeration
of which would constitute {
formidable list, while enough ha
been said to demonstrate that tn
latest development of this material il
the bottle-making industry bids fai
to hold not an unimportant part il

paper.

The area planted to corn in the
State, as shown by the assessors re-
turn, is 6,75O,S72 acres, which is 22l,-
4S0 acres above the acreage of last

approximate the product of this i'm

crop up to the Goth of July never was
better, but during the last ten days
of that month a marked change came
over these flattering prospects. The
corn had grown very rapidly, and
was tender. Hot weather set in
suddenly-was intense and long con
tinued. Hot winds followed, which
prevailed in many sections, especially
in the central, western and south.

the eggs are found to be we'll fertal-

number of eggs that we may get in

the story, but tn number that are

Do scraps ever act as physic?
Yes when fed in excess they pro-
duce irritation, because they cannot
be perfectly digested, and this leads
to a weakened condition of the
bowels.
viii scraps satisfy the towels
need Of meat, or is fresh meat much
better
Three per cent. of beef scraps in
the cooked ration daily is a good
proportion for the hens and a suffi-
cient amount. If one can get sleeps
heads to pound they will be found
valuale, but any quantity of fresh
meat will work injury. The whole
question hinges on balancing the
ration to the demands of the individ-
ual animal. Meat is good, but an ex-
cess works injury because it cannot
all be digested, and undigested food
is the cause of many forms of diseas-
es. There is no one article of food
that is complete in itself. Give the
hens a variety, supply then con-
stantly with poultry bone and
ground oystershells. Feed what they
need, and not what they crave, be-
cause of the abnormal appetites Gre
ated by over indulgence, and the
hens will furnish the eggs. Intelli-

The modes ofdeath's approach are vcr-
ious, and statistics show ccnclusively
that more persons die from diseases of
the Throat and Lungs than any other. 1t
is probable that everyone, without exec
pteon, receives vast numbers of Tubercle
Germs into the system and where these
germs fall upon suitable soil they start
into life and develop, at first slowly and
is shown by slight tickling sensation
in the throat and if allowed to continue
their ravages they extend to the lungs
producing Consumption and to the head,
causing Catarrh. Now all this is danger
GUS and ifallowcd to proceed will in time
cause death. At the outset YOU must act
with promptness; allowing cold to 90
without attention is dangerous and may
lose you your life. As soon as you feel
that something is wrong with your
Throat, Lnngs or Nostrils, obtain bot
tie of Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will
