VAULTING THROUGH SPACE

Large Crowds Are Initiated Into
the Delights of Toboggan Chut-
ing.
Minneapolis is very rapid in taking
hold of any new fad and running it into
the ground at a break-neck gait. While
the novelty is Oh there is no end to the
''verve" and enthusiasm. This was the
case with the opening of the new roller
toboggan chute at Washington rink last
night. Thousands went up there and took
the ride, laughing and shrieking in
tremulOuS glee while under the eXhila-
rating influence of the plunges through
the air. At the same time the floor was
crowded with skaters, who rolled about
as if roller skates had just come into
vague. But such commonplace sport
as skating paled into insignificance be-
fore the magnificent excitement of
coasting on the toboggans. The sport
has already been described in 1.-THE
GLOBE, but no description
can adequately convey an idea
of the thrilling sensations of
vaulting through space, whizzing about
curves, darling down rapids and plung-
ing into tunnels, which make up the
chute. Ordinary roller coasters fade
away into utter inSignifcance before
this blood-Stirring exercise. The crowd
was fascinated and once in the chariots
could not be induced to give it up.
Manager Niblock has apparently struck
good thing and will make money out
of it.

HER OWN ATTORNEY.
A Schoolgirl Pleads Her Own
Case in Court.

Brooklyn Eagle.
A week ago last Tuesday Florence
Pearce and Josie Ann, two schoolgirls,
each about nine years old, who live in
the same house, $50 Navy street, quar-
relied while at play, and Josie slapped
Florence on the cheek. Mrs. Pearce in
structed her child to make a charge of
assault against her companion, and the
case came up for hearing before Judge
Walsh to-day. The young defendant,
who was accompanied. her father,
probably anticipating nervousness, had
written out her defense in very neat
hand on sheet of foolscap. She read
it herself to the court, and managed to
get through the task without any seri-
Gus break. The text of the defense was
as follows:
BROOKLYN, April 90, 1883.
Mr.. Judge: l slapped her because she
made pictures on the fences and writing
our names on the Stoops and on the tele-
graph poles, and climbs ON the fences
just like tOmboy, and she wrote about
my papa and mamma and the old work.
man. fifty years old. Florence Pearce
was calling so bad names | never heard
in my life, and her mother told her to
do it and was laughing at it, and she is
out in the street very late in the night,
and her mother doesn't mind it.
Florence Pearce throws stones and
splits on the windows, and don't let an
old person alone but must call bad
names or throw something.
| heard Mrs. Pearce say to Florence
Pearce to do everything what she can.
We don't live like they do, because |
have papa and mamma and she amt
got no father, and don't call her real
mother, because her mother doesn't care
for Florence Pearce.
l think Mrs. Pearce is very, very,
very mean woman and tells Florence
Pearce to do every thing.
Florence Pearce is too lazy to learn
something, but she learns by playing.
In great while she goes to school and
half of the day she stays home.
AS long as live never had such a
trouble in my life as with Mrs. Pearce
and Florence Pearce.
Everything what l wrote, it is true.
and don't tell lies like Florence Pearce
does. Yours truly, JOSIE ANN.
Judge Walsh smiled as the little girl
read, and when she had concluded he
adjourned the case for two weeks, ad-
vising the parents of the children to set
tie the matter between themselves in
the meantime.

WINTER WHEAT.
The Cando Tribune Shows Why 1t
Won't Do in North Dakota.

One of our Towner farmers, year or
two ago. tried the experiment of sowing
winter wheat. under the impression
that the seed would lie dormant during
the winter and get the desired early
start in the spring. 1t did; it started
too early-and the alternate freezing
and thawing, while the snow was going
off, killed it. We should conclude
from this that the experiment
would be extremely hazardous. Some
of our farmers have expressed the half
determined intention of allowing their
frosted wheat fields to seed themselves,
but we think the experiment would not
be likely to succeed. We have seen, in
the spring. some fine looking crops of
volunteer" grain, and have heard of
people harvesting fairly good crops of
such oats, but from what we can learn
from experienced farmers, we should
judge that as general thing "volun-
teer'' grain would be very poor de-
peudence for crop. Better, for the
present, until you are able to expert
ment, follow the orthodox style, and

To Eight Trusts.

There are other ways of fighting
trusts than by legislation. The South
ern cotton planters have taken most
effective way of dealing with the jute
bagging trust, which has arbitrarily adj
vanced the price of the bags used in
covering cotton bales. They simply re-
fused to buy the high-priced bag
ging and pay tribute to monopoly.
As good result of the trouble,
the New Orleans cotton mills have sue
ceeded in producing from low grade
cotton cheap substitute that will prob
ably supersede the use of jute bagging
entirely. This is an important change.
The new bagging is made of home
product instead of an imported one, and
another new industry is established in

The Asparagus Bed.

A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer
says: zone of the delights of my minia-
ture garden is my asparagus bed, and
we get all of this fine spring vegetable
that our family wants. The bed took
125 plants to fill it, and gives me re-
spectable-sized grass though not
quite so large as we read of. They are
planted about fifteen inches apart, which
seems to answer very we'll; at any
rate l am satisfied with the result. The
bed has been going some years, and is
yet in almost as good shape as at any
time. This, think, is in great meas
ure due to the care given the construc-
ton of the bed, the soil, etc.: to the fact
that 10 weeds were allowed to dispute
possession, and that the grass was
never cut after the 25th of June.

thing for nothing. hence, as l take
asparagus from the piece of land, |

winter, forking it into the ground the
