ONE final word to farmers and others
in Dakota: Don't be discouraged.
Stand by your farms and your business.
The dark days are about over; the
season of prosperity Is at hand. You
have waited long, sometimes impatient
ly, but you have waited to some pur-
pose if you have held on with the de-
termination to win. Do not give up
now when the reward is at hand
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick,
but when the Joy cometh it is tree of
life.--EX.

All Aboard for Dakota.

Dakota may with reason expect this
season great inpourng ofnew settlers
Thousands of farmers fleeing from the
stony sterility and uncomfortable severity
of the climate of New York and sur.
rounding states will make homes in the
more congenial cline of the great ter,
ritory of the northwest. The victims oi
the blizzard-cursed climate of New
York will not endure their situation
especially when ten times better land
can be had in Dakota for ten times
cheaper price. If the great blizzard
which has swept the unfortunate fields
of New York shall move the farmers to
find homes in Dakota, it will yet prove
to have been an unspeakable blessing
to them. All aboard for Dakota.

severity and neglect it may be the
means of making hardened criminals

couraged, and when they are down it
takes but little push frequently, to
send them headlong into rum let us
therefore by encouraging words and
kindly precepts seek to win them back
to the ways of virtue and true manli-
ness.

English and American girls bear OF the

There is, however, . difference between
their respective qualities of beauty.
have elsewhere sufficiently portrayed the
sweet and coy beauty Of our American
girls not to tell them the whole truth On
this occasion. The English girl is thor
oughly active in her pursuit Of healthy
exercise, she walks, and runs, and plays
lawn tennis a great deal; riding, if she
have the means, is one of her most favor
tie anlusements; while boating and tn
cycling is eagerly sought whenever OPP
portunity occurs. Our American rose
buds" on the contrary. have a very trying
climate to contend with; they take too
little exercise and too much iced water.
The result Is that English girls are able
to bring more roseate bloom to their
cheeks. to walk longer distances and to
stand much more fatigue; they are, in
fact, more robust and have better devel-
oped figures; and although there are. no
doubt. in New York, CT in any other large
city of the United States, q dozen women
as perfectly beautiful in form and face as
any chiseled by the greatest artists, our
American girls are In the main less bright
in color more delicate and pale than would
otherwise be the case if they more stead

of health, outdoor exercise, long since
adopted by their English sisters and TO
which, doubtless, the latter owe their ex-
quisite forms and also the fact that they
remain youthful in appearance much
longer than our compatriots; in fact. an

A Hint to Smokers.
It is remarkable that people smoke 50
much tobacco, in its various forms, that
is impregnated with deadly nicotine, when
by simple method. which would not de-
tract one whit from its good quality, but
would remove all that is objectionable.
the tobacco could be made FREQ Of
this poison. Merely soak the tobacco o
day in shallow trough, and then lay it
in the sun, if feasible; if not. dry by the
most convenient means, and the weed is
robbed of all odoriferous properties and of
nicotine. II is then SO sweet the fumes
woL Id not offend the most sensitive lady,
because it has no fumes Besides, the
vessel in which it is burned does not be-
come ''strong"-a valuable thing for q
man who prefers a meerschaum pipe to

Bow Russian Convicts Are Transported to
Siberia-Hot Water Punishment.
The Nizhni-Novgorod IS al iron steamship
of about $500 tons burden, and is specially
fitted as a convict transport. With full
complement of convicts the vessel carries
652 The officers andcrew number eighty, ex-
elusive of a marine convoy escort OF sixty
two men specially chosen for this duty. The
iron barred compartments or cages in which
the convictS are confined run parallel fore
and aft, on either side the upper and lower
tween decks The iron bars, an inch thick,
Of these cages and the woodwork in which
they are set, is heavily and solidly con-
structed. The cages are Of unequal capacity
and length, but have a uniform height OF
seven and half feet The more desperate
characters are manacled and chained to iron
staples in their berths, from which they are
released when necessary. The greater num-
Der, although retaining the waist and ankle
shackles, of light construction, have tho
freedom of traversing the length of the com
partment, which may vary from twenty five
to forty feet Between the outer bars and
the two plain plank shelves OF hunks running
from end to end of the compartments which
afford sleeping room for the occupants, there
is free space of about four and half or
five feet
Except during the distribution Of rations
no culinary vessels are left with the convicts.
Even the drinking water is obtained only
through an india rubber mouth piece fixed in
an inclosed water tank and through which
the drinker sucks his draught. Immediately
outside the cages and attached to the under
part of the deck over head is steam pipe
faI t,-itb tla ne Tpto
pipes are fitted screw nozsles at intervals of
twelve feet. The object Of the steam pipe is
to suppress any dangerous outbreak among
the inmates Of the cage. By means Of q short
hose, specially made to resist the steam heat,
quickly attached to one Of the steam pipe
nozz!es, the turbulent convicts are readily
quieted or parboiled Strong water jets
have been found next to useless in allaying
these occasional tumults
After the ship has passed the canal, but
not before, patches Of convicts are in turn
brought upon deck for a shower bath and
short exercise. A strongly constructed iron
railing, eight feet high, crosses the vessel
amidships, in order that the convict, during
his bath and while unrnanacled, cannot by any
sudden rush evade the guard and reach tho
quarter deck Some of the more desperate
convicts, who stubbornly resist all disciplin-
airy control, are confined to the cages during
the whole voyage. Both the upper and lower
tween decks are open and airy, the system Of
ventilation being excellent. and the cages
themselves are kept scrupulously clean. The
cages are reprinted every voyage Every
convict, in addition to having his hair
cropped short, has the left half of the head
from front to back closely shaved. London

A SONG OF DAYS.

Twas Spring, when hope days dawned. N,
sweet.
NY gypsy heart at your dear feet
Did pitch a tent
Nor all the Spring
Did my wild heart go truanting:
1t was content.
IN Summer, when the Joy days came,
They found my vagrant heart grown tames
To your sweet spell;
Forgetful quite
or all its former fret for flight
1t rested well
And yet when Autumn days dreamed deep
OF some dread portent, and asleep,
Did sigh apace,
My heart CLEANED not
Strange fears and fled 1t loved the spot
Where you had place.
30 when the Winter days awake
To find a ravished world and make
Sad moan, sad moan,
My heart will sing,
For where you are is always Spring
And Spring alone.
