road to Sherbrooke. About 4 O'Clock In the
afternoon he started from Rose Murray's to re-
turn to Mr.. Mitchelps, but somehow lost his
way and finally struck the farm Of Charley
jackson, about mile and half southeast OF
Mltchell's. Here he was directed to Mitchelps
and again started of. His eyes being weak
and he also being near sighted, It is probable
he could not see Mltchell's buildings, though
in plain view, and instead Of going west he
turned south. By this time 1t had become dark
and there arose mist, such as is sometimes
seen our praires, and Morris kept trudginc

Morris had started, he returned home, and
becoming alarmed at the non-appearance Of

Y
There are two subjects which should occupy
the attention Of the board Of county commits
sioners at an early day. The first and the
most important Of these, both to farmers and
merchants, is the devising Of some means for
the determination Of the gopher pest. Itis
safe to say that Steele county suffered to the
extent Of at least $4,000 from the ravagss Of
gophers last year, while one-third Of that
amount judiciously expended In bounties would
have stimulated such wholesale destruction
that damage from them would have been al
most imperceptible. We should be glad to
hear from farmers on this subject both pro and
con, and will be glad to give expression to
their opinions through the PIONEER. Do not
stand hack because you think you cannot ex-
press your ideas as we'll as you would like to,
but send us a line saying whether you favor or
oppose gopher bounty. Another matter to
which 1t Is desirable the commissioners should
pay some attention, is the suggestion made by
Judge Francis that the commissioners provide
Jail and quarters for the sheriff. OF course,
we do not mean that the county sheuld build
during cold weather, but measures might be
taken looking to thatend next summer.
Minneapolis now boasts through outlet
from that city to tide water Independent alike
of Duluth and Chicago. The first through
train over the $500" for the seaboard started

apolis mills, consigned to Boston, London,

The Evening Journal says this new enterprise
twas conceived by Minneapolis men, backed
by Minneapolis money, and carried out by
Minneapolis enterprise" The importance Of
this new outlet to the seaboard must have an
important bearing on the development of the
Northwest, giving, as 1t does, winter outlet
to the seaboard 300 miles shorter than by way
of Chicago, which, In tune, must necessarily
reduce the carrying charges on grain. What
is there now to prevent foreign buyers coming
right to the wheat fields Of Dakota and buying
our hard wheat and shipping it direct to the
seabord, there to be transferred to vessels and
carried to Its point Of destination, thus obviat-
ing the ''mixing process' at Duluth and Chi
cago? Every new outlet must help the farm
ers Of the Northwest, and we hope to see Min
neapolis reap a rich reward for the enterprise

PUNCTUATION,

1 have had dozen years experience
in New York newspaper Office and have
been engaged as "copy editor" half Of
that time. The work OF hundreds of
young men has passed under my hand
and before my eye. They have been both
college graduates and graduates, al
though the former have predominated. 1
can easily recall men who have come
from at least twenty. colleges, large and
small, including Yale, Harvard, Prince
ton and Cornell. The verdict derived
from this wide experience is that the
training in the handling of their own
language which college students receive
Is painfully defective. I have known
graduates Of Cornell who could not even
spell correctly, and yet who were bright,
active intelligent, and doubtless took
good rank as students. The graduate,
however, who can write good English is
a rare exception; and as for punctuation
matter almost as important as correct
spelling and unimpeachable grammar
not one man in bundled knows the
proper use of a single punctuation mark
except the period. And 1 fear that the
colleges of young women are no more
thorough on this point. Last summer a
bright, intelligent young lady, whose ed
ucation had been completed at Wellesley,
copied for me single stanza of poem.
The only marks of punctuation that she
used were the period and the d ash, and
some of thedsshes were in places where no
pause was needed. On inquiry found that
the dash was about the only mark she
used in writing letters-the sole use to
which she put her pen. = The Chautou-

SUNK THE QUEEN IN THE
WIFE

There has been much foolish gossip
abusive of the crown princess of Germany,
because she is an English woman. But
her devotion to her husband is unques-
toned. She has sunk the queen com
pletely in the wife and thereby honors
her nation, her station, and-her sex. A
correspondent says
"At San Reno the crown princess has
dropped for the time her position as prin-
cess. She has set aside all of the ordinary
etiquette which surrounds lady of her
high station and has become for the
time being simply devoted nurse. At
the most critical stages of her husbands
malady she was always at his bedside,
and rested only in short sleeps when the
sufferings Of the crown PRICE would per
nit"

SWEEPING

Those whose rooms are heated bv
stoves have doubtless noticed that dust
gathers sooner and more readily under
them than any where else in the room
The hot air rising from the stove draws
the dust as we'll as the cold air toward
the partial vacuum created under the
stove. Taking hint from this, it is a
good plan to sweep toward the stove and
gather all the dirt on the zinc under it.
The stove covers down the dust and
keeps it from flying all over the room.
There are times, as in sweeping a large
room, when one can avoid raising a dust
by sweeping only small area at time:.
and taking up the dit in dust pan. or
with carpet sweeper us one goes along.
This saves carrying large amount of
dirt over the carpet or floor, and is easier
as one practices it, To sweep a room
clean without raising very much dust is
easy to those who have learned to use
the broom with art and skill. Dust is the
enemy of bric-a-brac and fine furniture.
and the adherence of every nice house.
keeper.
Some sweepers insist on moving every
thing movable out of room before
giving it thorough sweeping. Others
are content to move out pieces of furni--
ture, sweep where they stood, and then
move them Immediately back again. This
method leaves the room in order as one
progresses. save the immediate place
where they are sweeping, and for expedi-
tlousness is preferable to the former
method.
The strobe in sweeping should be
short and rapid; long stroke sends the
dirt into the air and fails to bring away
the dirt thoroughly. The broom should
barely leave the floor at the end Of each
stroke. The more continuous the con-
tact of the broom with the carpet after it
touches it at the beginning of each stroke
the less the dust raised. A careful sweep
er does not omit to brush the dust as she
moves along from the chair board and
other places where it has settled, thus
anticipating the work OF the buster and
leaving less for it to do.
After a carpet has been carefully
swept, il it is gone over with a mop or
cloth wrung from clear water, it's bright.

OHlGlN OF FAMILIAR EXPIRES
SIONS.

Taking him down a peg" This is
said to have been derived from the Gus
tom ordained by King Edgar, that pegs
should be fastened in the drinking horns
at intervals, that whoever drank beyond
these marks at one draught should be
liable to punishment. The custom was
called pin drinking, or pin-nicking. and
hence the origin of the phrase, He is
merry pin." and also Of the expression,
Take him down peg" The peg. tank
ards, as they were called, contained two
quarts, and were divided into eight
draughts by means of these pegs; they
passed from hand to hand, and each
must drink it down one peg, no more, no
less, under per atty of fine "a feather

epithet took its rise from one OF the first
dukes OF Savoy, whose dominions, lying
open to incursions of the two contending
houses of Spain and France, be was
obliged to temporize and fall in with that
power most likely to distress him, &C.
cordng to the success of thoir arms one
against another. So being frequently
obliged to change sides, he humorously
got coat made that was blue on one
side and white on the other. While in
the Spanish interest he wore the blue side
out, while the white was the badge of the
French. Hence ne was called Emmanuel,
surnamed Turncoat, by way of disting-
uishing him from other princes of the
same name and house.
