Breaking mp Grcenswnrd in Dry
MemIhcr.

Most farmers prefer to do their breaking
mp when the land is moist When the sod
is turned under in very dry time the
grass roots DO not decumpose SO rapidly as
when the inverted sod is wet. Another
disadvantage is, it requires much strong
er team to move the pillow when the land is
dry. There is some advantage, however,
in blowing when dry. Land So worked will
absorb much more water when rain does
come than grecnsward, from which much
of the rain water runs off, especially that
which comes from violent storms and heavy
showers. Farmers have learned from eN-
perieucc that land from which carly crops
have hoen taken will produce "A larger yield

The latest fad is for the woman to re-
tain her family name after marriage in
stead of taking that Of her husband.
Every woman has a perfect right to do
this If she wants to, because there is no
law compelling her to adopt that of The
man she marries. The style has been
started anew by some of the stronger
minded English women. This alone is
sufficient to make it the proper thing for
Anglo-Americans. In England, however,
1t is necessary for the woman to advertise
the fact that she is going to retain her
maiden name. In this country a man
may take his wife's name instead of her
taking his, but it would probably be bet.
ter to have the change 1egalized by a
u or legislature in order to prevent
any trouble in relation to property or in
heritances.
Wouldn't 1t be better to call men and
women by their proper names? The
Quakers do so, and there is nothing often
siye nor suggestive of undue familiarity
about it. They do so from principle
rather than to be odd. They say: nCall
no man master" Mister is but another
term for master, and was originally used
by common people when addressing their
superiors, or those whom they served.
As a people we are opposed to titles sug-
gest!ve of social rank. Our term Mrs,
is merely a form of the English term mis-
tress, which was and is low an updesir-
able title when used in certain connec
tions. Usage has changed this somewhat.
yet it is an unnecessary prefix to the
name OF a lady.-Pittsburg Commercial

Another Letter From 1nralla.


Senator ingalls, has not yet made an
apology for his recent speech, MS de-
manded by the Democratic press; but he
has written to one of his constituents the
following very lucid and vigorous letter
upon the subject:
VICE PRESIDENTS CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON.
Hon. A. R. Green, Topeka, Kan:
Ny DEAR SIR-The Democracy and
their allies have grossly mfsrepresented
me and andeavored to break the force OF
my arraignment by personal assaults and
by distortion of my language. Every man
of Intelligence knows that my aIlu-
sions to Hancock and Mcclellan were not
as soldiers, but rs Democratic candidates
for the presidency. As such they were
allies of the Confederacy, as Grover Cleve-
land is, and as every Democrat must be
who aspires to that Office, because he must
be elected by the 1853 votes Of the solid
south, which is as much an aggressive
and potential force in our politics as it
was in 1860. Unless the Republican party
has the courage and intelligence t wage
the ensuing campaign upon the platform
OF equal and exact justice to all under the
law, they will fail, as they deserve to fail.

MexIcans and the Rallroaa.

Mexicans take more kindly to railroads
than IS generally supposed in the states.
The stage coach will go out of business as
soon as the trains reach Guadalajara.s AS
much as the people cling to ancient Gus
toms they never ride in a stage when the
cars will carry them to the same destina-
ton. 1t is funny, however, to see them
getting used to the new mode of travel.
The whole family will come down to the
depot to see a member off OF a ten miles
journey. Two or three rounds of kissing
take place, accompanied by steady Sob
bing, Choking adioses are shouted and
handkerchiefs are waved until the train
is out OF sight.
Mexicans not only learn to ride in the
cars, but they take TO railroad work with
great zeal and aptitude. Mexican brake
men and firemen are now employed on, all
the roads. Mexican clerks and book
keepers ill most of the subordinate posi-,
tons in general offices, Many of the tele-
graph Offices are manned by Mexican
operators. The natives will fill these po-
sitions for half what Americans demand,

parents n brothers; but she must eat
no more h half the bowl of rice set be-
fore her, else her departure will be fol-
lowed by a continual scarcity in the domi-
cile she is leaving.
If q bride breaks the heel of her shoe in
going from her fathers to her husbands

A piece of bacon and q parcel of sugar

''Ihree Baneful Onesn are fond of salt
and spices, and the white Tiger, likes

A bride may be brought home while a
coffin is in her husbands house, but not
within 100 days after a coffin is carried
out. Domestic troubles are sure to come
upon one who is married within 100 days
after a funeral.
A bride, while putting on her wedding
garments, stands in a round, shallow
basket. This conduces to her leading a
placid, well rounded life in her future
home. After her departure from her
fathers door, her mother puts the basket
over the mouth of the oven, to stop the
mouths of all who would make adverse
comment on her daughter, and then sits
down before the kitchen range,t that her
peace and leisure may be duplicated in
her daughters life.

Percentage of BLONDES and nrunettes.

y ia JAN HAh ASi We
in the course Of fifteen minutes walk
on Broadway the other day a reporter
counted 200 women, young and old, with
hair ranging from a medium brown to
the darker shades which all but artists
call black. Only thirteen women were
passed who were of the pronounced blonde
order. Three of these were of the reddish
classes and the hair of two had apparently
been bleached. AT the theatre, the same
evening, of fifty women within easy
range, six had fair skins, blue eyes and
light hair. They sat surrounded by a
bevy of dark women, who gave its pre-
vailing tone to the complexion of the
house. Interest in the result observed
led next morning to a public school. One
class of eighty girls had eight blondes to
seyenty-two average browns and bru-
nettes. Another of sixty7tive girls had
sixteen fair haired pupils to fifty-five
standard brown heads and darker. In q
third class the proportions were seven

President Cleveland and Gov. Church :
and thank Congressman Peel for his nu.
turing effects In securing the passage of
the reservation bill.
Huron, April l8.-Although no open
fight is likely to be made against Gov.
Church at the democratic county con-
vention to be held here on Saturday to
select six delegates to the WATERFOWL
convention, it is quite probable the
friends of MIR. Day will show their hands.
If they do it will be q demard that half
OF the delegation be favorable to Mr..
Day, even though oil may go to Water-
town u~ninstruoted. Despite the fact
that Governor Church that
he is not a candidate for delegate to the
national democratic convention, his
friends (and enemies, too) seem to have
q determined notion that he is DESTROYS
OF the honor and is seeking it.
Kimball, April 18.--There is a decided
tendency to trouble in the democratic
ranks thr ughout the county, and the
supposed leaders are pulling their strings
with a %suddenness that threatens to
break some Of them. Last evening John
ID. Lawler anne in from Mitchell, and at
the time OF writing is laboring hard to
throw the Day faction 20 the dogs and
get all proxies for Church. In this town
the democratic leader is an ayowed
enomy Of Church and his followers on
account OF an appointment made. while
Chamberlain, under lead Of Maj James
E. Jenkins, will work Tor Church because
OF the appointments which he did make.
A democrat, however, will hardly vote
any other than the democratic ticket,
and therefore, although rufled a little,
they will be democrats despite ell.
