Coal in Great Demand.

Anyone not familiar with the mines OF
Western Montana can have no adequate
conception of the great amount OF fuel
used by its mills and smelters. The
transportation of coal alone requires one
train day on the Union Pacific for one
COMMUNICABLE Anaconda. To take that
business from the Union Pacific would
affect its traffic seriously, but stranger
things have happened Bozeman Avan'

The power of the moses to endure re-
peated desiccation has recently been ex-
perimentally treated by G. Schroeder, who
obtained the interesting result hat many
Of these plants cannot only resist months
of dryness without any harm, but also
that they do not perish even under the
strongest ~desiccation carried on in a drier
with the aid of sulphuric acid. Plants
of Barbula muralis, which were exposed
for eighteen months In the drier, after a
few wettings resumed growth in all their
parts. Other species of barbula behaved
similarly.
A curious experiment was performed
with Grimmia pulvinata, in which a
stock which had been cultivated for some
time In a moist atmosphere under a bell
glass was suddenly exposed to q warm
and perfectly dry current of air. 1t be-
came SO dry in a short time that it could
be pulverized. Then it lay In a drier for
n~inety-fve weeks. But the q~uickening
moisture was still competent to awaken
1t to renewed life. The most rapid dry
ing which could be performed in the
laboratory could not destroy the plant.
1t even showed greater power of resist.
ance than would correspond with its real
necessities, for so speedy and complete
a drying out as was effected in the ex-
periments never counts in nature.-Popu-

If it is May or June do not come to
Russia without the heaviest winter cloth
ing and the heaviest of winter wraps,
even though you may have left England
all ablaze with hawthorne blossoms, Hol-
land carpeted with tulips and Rerlin at
summer heat. Remember that the Russian
calendar is twelve days later than ours.
Remember that st. Petersburg is on the
shores of the Baltic sea. Remember also
that you are on the direct route t the
North pole. Already l have seen two
hard snow storms, and our teeth have
been on q continual chatter since reaching
here. In the country (hIay 2s) the peas
nnts are just blowing and sowing for
their summer crops, and in the city
heavy overcoats and furs seem quite at
home.
There is mi thing, however, that
strikes an American very agreeably as
well as strangely, and that is the suddenly
increased length of the days. Even now
the sur docs not set until about 0 o'clock
and rises 10 one knows how early; and
soon the longest days will have reached
here when the sun is only nominally be-
low the horizon from one-quarter past 10
till one-quarter before Q, but really the
twilight is so bright that can read
with case all night. No doubt this has
much to do in maturing the harvest SO
rapidly in the few months of summer

Can people swallow seeds and the pits
of fruit with ~impunity? 1t is a topic
that may be more important than others
of more apparent weight. The slightest
amount of physiological knowledge
might be supposed to bar the swallowing
of cherry stones, yet a young woman
died in this neighborhood the other day
from ~peritonitis, caused by such indul-
gences. This violent form of seed swal-
lowing, however, may be considered as a
little apart from the real inquiry, since it
is not exactly common, though doubtless
much sickness and not a few casualties
are caused by 1t. But what Of smaller
seed swallowing?
1t is not the size of these foreign sub
stances that is the consideration, but
their bulk when swallowed in quantity.
One would hesitate about swallowing the
small handful of pits contained in a
moderate bunch of grapes-they make
quite a formidable showing-yet they
are, all the same, swallowed in eating
the grapes, and possibly pack in the
stomach or bowels IN entirely indigestible
mass of woody fiber. AS to yet smaller
seeds the process Is precisely similar, de-
pending only on the quantity of such
eaten. The seeds of blackberries are
enormous in size and quantity compared
with the pulp, and in eating a comfort
ably large saucerful of this fruit, one
swallows the equivalent in seeds OF those
of a large portion of grapes, or of a num-
Der of cherry stones. But are we, then,
to bar small fruits as a diet9 Scarcely,
but more prudence can be exercised.
They should be eaten in moderation,
early in the day rather than at night.
The rejoinder may be made that this
stony dissipation has been going on for
ages; so 1t has, and much mischief has
undoubtedly marched hand in hand with
it. 1t Is clear, at least, that persons with
impaired alimentary organs should make
the works Of those parts as easy as posi-
BILE, and not load them with quantities of
indigestible matter. Philadelphia Tele-

Mark Twain. Queer Methods.

Mark Twain vas a queer writer In the
days when he composed steadily, and al
though he calls himself a lazy a and
is certainly moderation of speed and
p~ersoniied, yet he was capable
of prolonged sittings at his desk, in which
the mental labor was intense and ex-
hausting, though no evidence of it APP
peared in the composition. Sometimes
an Idea struck him that he thought worth
developing, and he brooded it and clucked
to it like a hen to a chick. He reveled
in it and rolled it about for days like a
sweet morsel under his tongue, and then
with big sheets OF blue paper he set 1t
down in this way and that, writing it
diagonally or across the sheet lengthwise,
or with a piece of black crayon setting it
down on a piece of cardboard. Thus
some of the immortal treasures of Mark
Twain were first nursed before they were
put into cold type.-New York Evening

AS to the young men In business en-
Payments, their way to success-to rise
in rank, to become managers and
finally owners-is briefly but aptly de-
scribed by Mr.. o. w. Potter. The clerk
or other employee who is always a little
ahead of time, rather than behind time,
at his desk or other post of duty-who
fingers instead Of fastening as the signal
TO "knock off" comes-who takes less
instead of more than his time at lunch,
during off hours and during vacations
who always gets his own allotted tasks
done and volunteers to "job around" q
little extra or to help others-who puts
his mind and energies into his Ia
bor-the industrious, assiduous, prompt,
willing and ambitious employee, is
the one who gains his en-
ployers' confidence and affections,
who is intrusted with responsibilities,
who receives promotion, and who, at
length, carries into business of his own
the thrift and success which he had dis
played in the business of others. Such
men do not fail.
Do not run into debt. This is the
warning which all who discuss the sub
ject give to young men. The employee or
man in business who lives within his in
come is a free and Independent citizen.
he who owes n debt is a slave. The
debtor who cannot pay, or dislikes to
pay, crawls; he is in bondage; he has a
master; he may be insulted and cannot
resent 1t, or kicked and cannot return It;
he becomes a liar and a dodger; he feels
mean, acts mean and Is mean. The man
who is out of debt walks upright; the
light is on his forehead; he is as good as
the best and better than the most of his
kind. Keep out OF debtl-Chicago Jour

HANCOCK, MIMI, Oct. 4.-Hon.
Charles Canning and DR.. Bert Robert
son addressed a meeting at G. A. Z.
hall tonight. People flocked from all
parts of the county, although notice Of
the meeting was very brief, and the
hall was so crowded that many were I'M
able to gain admittance. Mr.. Canning
gave them short but earnest talk, his
remarks being generously applauded.
DR.. Robertson discussed the tariff, paid
his compliments in well-directed and
forcible terms to the manner of Mer-
RAMS nomination, explaining that
if it were not that he was certain
that his nomination was purchased
by gold he might still be in the Repub-
lican party, Notwithstanding the fact
that the party had left him on the tariff
and other questions. Said he: The
Republican party has had its day, and
must CO." He concluded with an able
presentation of the merits of Canning's
candidacy in this district, and. from the
tremendous applause with which all OF
his telling points were greeted, one
would little think that he was in a sup
posed Republican stronghold. At the
conclusion of DR.. RObertSOn's remarks
Mrs. Nelson gave short address on
prohibition. The grand success OF the
meeting is a sumner to Republicans
here and an encouraging surprise to the
friends of tariff reform and the cause OF
good government.

THE TAX LEVY.

Upon the principle that IT is the duty
of mankind to be grateful for even the
smallest of favOrS, the taxpayers of the
city will be disposed to return thanks to
the city council for this years tax levy,
although some needed improvements
NAV have been overlooked in making
up the estimates. While there is small
reduction in the figures from last years
levy, there is really no reduction in the
amount of taxes to be collected, because
the increased assessment will bring the
aggregate up to beyond what was re-
CURED for last years expenditures.
The increase in valuation of property
this year over last is so per cent,
while the reduction in the tax rate is
only 16 per cent, thus making the ag
gres ate amount of taxes to be collected
this year IA per cent greater than was
required last year. The GLOBE does
not allude TO this in a spirit of fault
finding or with the purpose of rejecting
on the city council. We are fully as
sured that the council made as close q
cut as it was possible to make, and may
have cut too close, for at the present
tax rate it will require exceptionally
able management to meet all the re-
quirements of our growing city and pre-
vent a deficit at the end of the year.
The fact that the city council, with
ali its wisdom and energetic economy,
failed to reduce the amount of taxes to
be collected this year. only demonstrates
that the refOrmers found nothing to re-
form when they came into power. The
hue and cry that was raised by the Re-
publicanS at the last municipal election
about the extravaganza of Democratic
administration is now shown to have
been clap-trap.

THE HUSTLE WHEAT.

There was another rafting advance
in wheat Wednesday and the day be-
fore, and the indications are promising
for still Stormier times ahead for the
bears.
A little more than year ago the
''shOrt" interest in cash wheat at Chica-
go broke corner; with a crash that is
still echOing across the prairies of the
Northwest. And now again the same
''Short'' interest has awakened to
a realization of the fact that
another than HARPER was I'M
der the market, and that in
stead of having been pricking a bubble.
as they fondly imagined, they had all
along been playing into the hands of
the shrewdest manipulation that ever
bought bushel of wheat. Old ''HUTCH;'
has the bears on his horns, and could. if
he wished, toss them all into bankruptcy
and precipitate great panic, but, with
rare magnanimi.y, he has as yet re-
Trained from squeezing them too dry.
The corn crop, however, will cut an
important figure in future deals. 1t is
a crop at least 10000, 900 bushels larger
than that of 1885, which until now has
been the Gaping stone of our cereal
production, and 1t happens that i'm
mense foreign differences in the grain
harvests of 1888 will create a demand
for corn large enough to add material
premiums to both the exportable surplus
and the home reserve.
The unfavorable reports of the con-
dition of the spring wheat crop here in
the Northwest, with the urgent de-
mands upon it, especially for the Min
neapolis mills, have no doubt gained for
prices a large advance. The mills. big
and little, in this section have been
large buyers, and have bought ssNo. l
hard" at from S1.15 to S1.IS per busheI.
The Northwestern millers represent the
most powerful milling interest in this
country. and probably in any other:
and they appear to be the most conf
dent and Sanguine of buyers now. The
most prominent of the lot, Gov. PILLS
BURY, is authority fer the statement

WHITE AND DUNNELL.

1t is understood by the Winona Her
aid that Editor O'NEILL'S detection
means that Milo WHITE will take his
coat off again and Fillmore will give
Judge WILSON a rOusing majority.
There is no reason why Milo WHITE
should love MARK DUNNELL. 1t is
pretty well understood throughout the
First district that every time MIR. WHITE
was candidate for congress Mr.. Dun
NELL took malicious delight in trying
to knife him. Because Mr.. WHITE was
a consistent tariff refOrmer, Mr.. Dun
NELL used his cunning to nculcate into
the minds of the First district Repub
licans that Mr.. WHITE was not sound
party man. Now, that Mr.. DUNNELL is
himself the nominee, he has been using
the same cunning to convince the voters
of the First district that Mr.. WHITE is
a sound party man, whose duty it is to
stand by the ticket.
