The Hasty Reading Public.

The erudition our forefathers amassed
through the long process of laborious
days can now, for all practical purposes
and in all sufficient quantities, be &C.
quired in even less than thirty lessons in
which an ingenious Frenchman Whose
name regret to have forgotten) once pro-
posed to teach poetry. The labor Of a
lifetime has become the plaything of an
hour Young ladies will explain the
principles of Greek art or the intricacies
of scriptural chronology; young gentle
men will popularize the profoundest dis
coveries of science or the divinest perad-
ventures of philosophy; and all this shall
be done with fluency and precision that
sets my poor old fashioned brain whirl-
ing. Do not think am sneering at these
'young light hearted masters" of modern
wisdom. Far from it; my admiration
vies with my establishment as / read.
Among such competitors, then, you
propose to take your place. And bear
this also in mind: The popular dislike for
anonymous writing Ia wise dislike in
reason, but too often only idle curiosity
on one side and an ignoble vanity of the
other makes an unknown writer's condi-
ton much harder than it was. Formerly
he took his place Cf he were lucky enough
to find it, among his elders and his bet
tiers to be judged on the merits Of his
work. But now the hasty public, who
devours its literature standing on one
leg, will not read an article to see if it be
good; they turn to the list of names to see
if there be anything worth wasting their
scanty leisure on.-Macmillan's Maya

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.
Terrible Prairie Fires Do Great Damage
Near jamestown. Oak.

ST. PAUL, Sept. ga special from
jamestown, Oak, to the Pioneer Press
says that one of the most extensive prairie
fires that ever visited mat section ragged
today and last night All of the western
part of Lamour county and much OF the
southern and western part of Stewart
were burned over. The strong wind drove
the flames before it with great velocity.
Incidents of where the fire ran faster than
horses are narrated. Reports of losses are
coming in. Many farmers will lose every
thing and much distress will be expert
enced The fire seems to have originated
in Coteant county The losses reported
this evening are: Miles Wilson, fifty acres
of wheat and forty tons of hay: Ed. Woods,
eighty acres of wheat in stack and seven
ty-five tons of hay; ;. Z. Baker,
manager of the well known Nor
mon farm loses an entire section
of No 1 hard wheat. His extensive
buildings were saved only after the ut
most exertion. Among the losses IN the
county are George Carlson, house burned,
40 acres of wheat, a team of horses and
all his farming machinery; Carlton was
himself bu rned. j. L. Thanlow looses 100
tons Of hay Henry Shadlock 100 bushels
of oats and fifty acres of wheat; the Boyd

dwelling and number of stacks of grain;
|. w. Brown lost fifty tons of hay and all
his wheat; Joe E. Rumble, near Montpel-
Ter, lost his house and all his grain;
Alexander Chisholm and j. W. Boyer lost
everything they had on their farms; E. B:
Darby, near Ypsilanti, lost $500 worth OF
grain, and on the Mormon farm, twenty
i've miles south OF here, 800 acres of wheat
in shock were destroyed.
The fire was eXtinguished today in many
places but is still raging fiercely il many
directions.
Passengers on the James River Valley
train. say the prairie from Lamour to within
a few miles of jamestown, a distance OF
fifty miles, was all ablaze. They saw
burning barns, dwellings and grain stacks
from the car windows. The fire was also
west and north of the city. As yet no re-
ports of loss of life have come in.
insufficient fire breaks was the cause of
losses liz many cases. The prairie grass is
thick and dry and ordinary fire breaks
were Intellectual in the face OF the gale
that drove the fire On.

Indians and Salmon at Fort WraneeL

During our day at Fort Wrangel, while
the sun was shining, a family of Thlinket
Indians short distance back in the coun-
try were huddled together in their hut,
but as soon as it commenced to rain ODD
and all emerged, set around on logs and
chattels, seeming to enjoy being rained
on. The natives take little account Of
time; they paddle along the coast for
thousands of miles on the most trivial Of
errands, the question as to where they
stay or sleep apparently being of small
consequence.
The fish supply here is seemingly mex
haustible. Salmon appear in solid schools
SIX and eight feet deep. The Stricken
river back of Fort Wrangel and the out
lets of some, Of the inland waters to the
salt water are at certain seasons actually
choked with squirming salmon, causing
them in their eagernesS to pass through
to crowd each other above the sur
face of the water, thus creating for the
time a solid bank Of fish. Smaller fish
are also to be found in surprising quanti-
ties. Herring swarm in the channels.
The candle fish, small fish about six
inches long, which is delicious eating, can
be caught by the million. A pailful can
be had from a native for the nnerest trifie.
A host Of other varieties abound, until
the lover Of fishing here tires of the sport.

THE MEXICAN MIDDLE.

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 26-Up to late
hour this afternoon no authentic or defin-
lite news was received from Rio Grande
City.
Governor Ross went to San Atonino this
morning to confer with General Stanley,
commanding the United States troops in
Texas. A man calling himself Edward
telegraphed Governor Ross from Rio
Grande City today that everything was
quiet in that town; that matters had been

never WAS any necessity for military inter
ference and asking the governor to send a
commissioner to investigate. Edwards
is supposed here to be one Of the
only two white men who went

The 'Longshoremen's Gangs.

The stevedore usually has several fore
men in his employ. These are 'longshore-
men who work either by the hour, week
or month, At an advance of about one
third over the ordinary workmen. When
vessels are to be loaded or unloaded these
foremen start out on the street and select
with almost unvarying impartiality their
gangs among the 'longshoremen always
waiting about the approaches TO the docks,
frequently in most picturesque groups,
and then the hveliest of commotion begins.
Had you been passing these good fellows
as they We're waiting for work you would
have judged them nerveless lot, but the
transformation from hstless, half asleep
apparent tramps to the most neryy, agile
and skilled of laborers is an instant one.
Indeed, have frequently seen them per-
form positive feats in strength and light
ming like twist or jerk that gave to bale,
barrel or box as wonderful motion, course
and destination as the most wizard like

lip WITH a BALLOON.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. pa balloon as
cension and parachute drop were adver-
tised at the exhibition grounds today.
Among the volunteers to hold down the
balloon was Tom Winsley, young barber,
who with Others, grasped stout rope
running around the base of the balloon.
When the order to let go was
given all released their hold with the ex-
ception of Winsiey, who retaining his bold
was swiftly borne upwards. The aeronaut
was unable to help him. Winsley was call
ed upon to let go, but he still chung to the
ropes. The Balloon had now gone
one thousand feet upwards and the
spectators stood paralyzed with fear
Wensley finally let go one hand, but chung
to the rope with the other. 1t was only
for momen6, however, that he supported
himself with his one hand. That was re-
leased and down he came like a
rocket, executing a series of SOM
mersaults in the air as he fell
He struck in a field one hundred
feet from the ground and with the excep-
ton of his face. was terribly crushed. The
balloon few minutes later collapsed and
the aeronaut descended In safety with his

A Safeguard Against Insects.

Many people do not know how easily
they can protect themselves and their
children against the bites OF gnats and
other insects. Weak carbolic acid sponged
on the skin and hair, and in some cases
the clotl ne, viii drive away the whole
tribe. great many children and not a
few adults are tormented throughout the
whole summer by minute enemies. We
know persons who are afraid of picnics
and even their own gardens ON this &C
count. Clothing is an imperfect protec
ton, for we have seen q child whose foot
and ankle had been stung through the
stocking SO seriously that for days she
could not wear a leather shoe. All this
can be averted according TO our eype-
rience, and that, we believe, Of many
others, by carbolic acid judiciously used.
The safest plan is to keep a saturated So
luton of the acid. The solution cannot
contain more than or per cent, and it
may be added to water until the latter
smells strong This may readily, end
with perfect safety, be applied with
sponge. We have no doubt that horses
and cattle could be protected In the same
way from the flies, which sometimes
nearly madden them, and it even seems
possible that terrible scourge, the African
tsetse fly, might be kept off in the same
manner.-London Lancet.
