1t is known that there is an mex
haustible supply of coal in Ward county,
well up to the north. The fact appears
here as elsewhere, that the quality of
the coal improves as the mines are de-
veloped. 1t is hardly a matter of doubt
that the time will come when Dakota
will not need TO look beyond her own
borders for supply of good fuel. In
fact. she may be able to supply a por-

The Fargo people exhibited some of

rustlers, who enjoyed their suffering

ried their parasols, the men famed
themselves with their straw hats as
they painted in the shade, and the chill
dren frolicked about ice cream stands.
The only feature lacking for striking
picture was a bathing scene in the rip
ping river near by. Perhaps. however,
the ice was too thick to be cut easily, or
the mosquitoes too numerous. 1t IS to
be hoped that the photographs taken

be participants. As means of culti-
waiting amicablc relations with neigh
bors, or as an opportunity for holding
am additional convention or two, or as
an agency in eXpcditing statehood in
the two smaller territories. there may
be advantages in such a gathering. The
theory, however, that by pooling the
interests and efforts of all Dakota could
attain its end speedier, does not seem to
be well based. 1t would be an example
OF the big fellow dragging the little Sis
terS along. The indications at Wash
ington, and generally, are that the Dallo-
tas are a big enough team to go by
themselves, and by western afiilia
tions they would simply cucumber
themselves with the loads either of the
others had to carry. One of the Dako-
tas is already about halfway into the

time for the other to get its rig in shape
for sharing in the common life of the

quicker without entangling themselves

Tie Young Son Of a Revolutionary
Veteran.

It is a remarkable fact that we have in
town q man only Al years old whose
father was at the battle of Bunker Hill.
Winfield Scott Hasham is the man we
have reference to. His father, Stephen
Hasham, was about fourteen years of age
at the time of the battle, witnessing the
engagement from the steeple of the
church at the North End and carrying
water to the soldiers of the Copp's Hill
battery. He learned the trade of clock
maker and located in Charlestown, N.
H.. says the Claremont Adrocate, becom-
ing in the course of time keeper of the
Eagle Hotel, making with his own hands
the eagle still used for sign. We I'M.
derstand that he also made the eagle
which surmounts the town IN Claremont.
He made sc eral town clocks, some of
which are still in use. MIR. Hasham in
1iS7 married Susannah Hastings,
daughter of Captain johnson. Five
children were born to them, and in 1S41
Mrs. Hasham died. The same year Mr..
Hasham, then some eighty years of age,
married Lucy A. Miller, of Spring ED,
Vt, woman many years younger than
himself, and five more children were
born to him during the next ten years.
He died Feb. 4. lSG1, aged about 100.
Of his children only two survive, W.
S. Hasham, above mentioned, and his
sister, Mrs. Eugene A. Pandall, of
harlestown. who was born two years to
a day after his birth.

Anacendas Make Themselves at Home.

Two immense anacondas we're recently
discovered on the barkentine Emma r.
Smith, while discharging a cargo of
phosphate rock at South Camden, N. J.
Each measures over thirteen feet, and
they are said to be not only the largest
but the finest specimens ever seen. 1t is
not known how the snakes came on
board, but they are supposed to have
reached the vessels rigging from dense
oyerhanging tropical foliage while she
was lying in the harbor of Para, Brazil,
which is conceded to be the home of the
anaconda and the boa constructor. The
serpents have thus far shown no attempt
to interfere with the crew or those work
ing on the vessel, and often remain in
comatose state for a week at time.
When they become hungry plenty of food
has to be quickly procured, live chicken
or stray cat being esteemed the great
est luxury by them.
The most remarkable occurrence has
been the sudden disappearance of the
army of rats which had multiplied in the
vessels hold for several years past.
Several times during the passage the
snakes ere given the liberty to investi-
gate the between decks and lower hold
in search of the rodents. and on each oc-
casion they were so literally rewarded

MammOths in Siberian Glaciers.

It must not be supposed that our own
elephant is in any way degenerate de-
scendaut of the true mammoth. On the
contrary, says a w:iter in the Cornltl,
the great Siberian beast vas in many re-
spects more advanced and specialized
representative of the original family than
his Southern cousins. He was, in short,
progressive elephant, who, seized with
desire to emigrate, had gone north and
oyerspread the whole temperate regions
of Europe, Asia, and North America be-
fore the coming on of the great ice age.
In his northern home he retained or re-
developed the hairy covering which the
elephant lost in India or Africa, and he
took kindly enough to the cold weather
which preceded the advent of the glac al
epoch. In short. he was rather an elder
brother of the elephant than in any sense
direct ancestor.
Other mammoths have since been found
in the Siberian tundra, buried where they
sank in up to their nccks among the soft
slush, and preserved ever since, partly
like timed meats by the exclusion Of the
air. and partly like Australian mutton by
the effects of frost. The most interest
ing find was that made by young Rus
sian engineer by the name of Benkendorf,
who, steaming in small cutter up the
Ind girka River, saw, during food, to
his immense delight, real dead mann
moth, with its eyes open and its hairy
trunk moving restlessly through the
turbid water, 5obbing up and down
merrily in the stream before him. There

The Art of TaXidermy.

A tax;dermi,t's is a queer place, says
the Chicago Hernid. Few people know
how the delicate work of preserving the
relics of defunct animal is done. The
skinning alone is difficult enough, but
after the 'shell, so to speak, has been
obtained, the zeal niceties of the job are
brought into play. And the greater or
lesser excellence with which the 'stutf-
ing' of the beast is done, so US to make
its new outline correspond exactly with
the original, gives taSidermist claim
to mere or less fame. The whole inside
of the animal is, of course, rejected,
except some of the bones which are
needed to support the frame properly.
The preserving against moths and de-
cay is done by rubbing the inside of the
skin with arsenic soap. aud arsenic
powder is strewn through the inside be-
sides. This arsenic, though inside,
gradually works through the seams and
pores, and a stuffed animal is, therefore,
never a safe plaything for child, nor
for grown-up person either.
