Mr.. Lind made an argument before the
Senate committee on public lands in favor
of his bill for the forfeiture of that portion
of the lands granted to the Hastings Il Da-
kota Railroad Company, which had not been
certified to by the state for the benefit OF the
company prior to February, 1880. He com
mented on the various bills introduced, includ-
ing the one which had passed the House and
was now before the committee.
The state department has received n COM
munication from United States Consul Sey-
mour at Canton, China, in which he says that
many natives who have embraced the Chris
tan religion, have been severely prosecuted.
Most of the victims are members OF the
American Baptist Union, which recently an
nounced that no more consular aid will be re-
quested, and that native members must seek
redress from the Chinese authorities. The
consul says that the treaty between China
and this country is silent in regard to the
prevention or correction of these prosecutions.

Many man fails because he has
too much ability. He is able to do
great many things with facility,
and acceptably. Ifhis capacity were
limited to but one of these things he
would be the gamer by it, because he
would be able to concentrate his
whole attention to that one thing,
and his mind not being diverted to
other arts familiar to it, could work
constantly and attentively for that
one object, with an assurance that
industry would eventually insure sue
cess.
Understanding these truths, The
arguments fora concentration ofpur-
pose will present themselves to every
one, and | will ask few pertinent
questions:
Have you many irons in the fret
Are you an individual trying to
sell other thing in connection with
machines and not able to do justice
Admitting that yon can do other
things well, and operate equally well
on your machine, how can you
pnsh, at once, both kinds of busi-
ness?
OF course if you could have busi-
ness sufficient to employ others to
manage eitherportion of it, perhaps,
but, as it is in a small country town.
can you do justice to both?
Do you not see that the strain is
greater on your strength whenever
you attempt to cover the details of
two kinds of business?
And do you not understand thai
you may work harder and more eff
GENTLY on one thing and with greater
results than on more than one? !
Think the subject over, and il YOU
do not come to the conclusion that
you are covering too many kinds of
business for one person when YOU
try to run two distinct lines, | am
mistaken. | believe that there is
enough in the sewing machine busi-
ness to occupy the whole time of d
person engaged in it, and l further
believe that a person who devotes
his whole timeto one business can do
better, not only than one who divides
his attention with another line OF
trade or others, but better than can
be done in any other kind ofbusiness.

Limits in Stature.

Ancient writer's have mentioned
giants exceeding ten and even twelve
feet in height, but these accounts
have doubtless been exaggerated,
and It'll amatter of question whether
any of these individuals have ex-
ceeded in stature the giant Winckel-
meier of the present time, and who
is eight and one-half feet high.
Dwarfs of sixteen and even twelve
inches are among the records of hui
man existence, but these diminutive
creatures were either immature or ILL
formed. A noted instance of q small
yet perfectly developed dwarf was the
celebrated Borulawsky, of twenty
nine inches height, who died in 1927,
aged about 40.

IMPROVE III HOG.

Of Progressive farmers
II the margin between the price of
corn and pork remains rs great as it
has been during the past year. the in
ference is that the demand for a better
class of hogs will be greater than it
has been for q number of years. There
will be new herds built up. and ar
rangements made for breeding hogs on
farms where they have been abandoned
for years. Young farmers, casting
about for the most profitable produces
of the farm. will not be long in decid-
ing on this branch. as promising the
greatest and quickest returns for the
money and labor invested. Our OBJ
servatiOns force the belief upon us that
farmers for u few years have not been
as careful about adding new blood to
their hcrdsas they should have been.
and the consequence is their hogs are
not as good rs they SHOULD be. With
the combination Of all breeds that is
convenient to use. they find themselves
possessed OF a class Of mOngrel swine
that are not profitable either for market
or breeding.
Every step removed from some pure.
fountain head makes matters worse.
But even with these things against the
of hogs they bring a good
profit. and should make the farmer feel
able to invest in better stock. And
all these things into considers
ton. we can but think the demand for
pure bred stock will be better in the
near future than for a number of years
past. The demand during the past
year has started the current that a
