Freedom" and American Dress

What would London lady think if
she were ushered into house in New
York at 4 o'clock in the afternoon to
present herself to hostess who was
decked out in white satin, low neck and
short sleeves, or in Nile green moire,
ditto neck and sleeves? The blinds would
be drawn, toDe sure, and the gas lighted,
but the cards would have read "from
four to seven," and no power of imagi-
nation would make the dresses and the
lights seem in place before dinner to a
girl brought up in English society. In
congruous dressing follows American
women into various other kinds of enter
tainment. English women visiting here
remark, ssWhat pity that the ladies in
sist upon wearing their bonnets every
swhere!" Such is literally the case. Bon
nets are worn at the theatre, at the
opera, at receptions, and at concerts,
ev1 when evening dress" has been
suggestively printed on the tickets. The
worst of it is, however, that few ladies
do go without bonnets, and in that lies
the incongruity. A request for seven-
ing dress'' on these occasions is observed
by the ladies only by their putting on
the most elaborate headgear. There is
no accepted fashion in regard to the
matter. This is freedom" in America.

Killing Rats.

il writer in Chambers Journal repeats
the method which is in quite general use
here for the determination of rats. These
animals arc the wisest of domestic YER

dered by the ever diminishing tribe is
sufficient to cause them to flee the mys-
terious power which haunts them. TAX

question constructed q trap for the rats.
This was a water barrel carefully con-
cealed. On the top was trap door
Simply balanced by pivot in the center),
and beyond this some food was placed
for which the rats had q strong liking.
They could only get to this by walking
over the door, and in order to entice
them, the door was fixed for about a
week; then the bolt was drawn, and for
several nights plentiful supply of
drowned rats rewarded the ingenuity Of

A Valuable manu.cr,nt.

The Star states that the original man
uscript Of Dickens story, "Our Mutual
Friend" is said to be in the possession of
Mr.. g. w. Childs, Of Philadelphia, who
is reported to have refused 81 200 for it.
The story Of this manuscript is rather
remarkable. "Our Mutual Friend" was
reviewed in The Times at great length,
and in most laudatory terms by the late
Mr.. Dallas, who had previously informed
Dickens that he had undertaken to do
justice to sthe new book" in that jour-
nal, the notices of which carried great
weight in those days. Dickens SO highly
appreciated the value of the service
which Mr.. Dallas had rendered him that
he presented him with the manuscript,
which the enthusiastic critic received
with the utmost efusion, vowing that
he would always treasure it as one of his
mostprecious possessions. Within short
time, however, the manuscript was sold
to Mr.. Childs for e25O.-London Truth.

ponnellx,s Note Book.

Ignatius Donnelly does not trust to his
memory for all the odd anecdotes and
funny stories with which he elaborates
his speeches on any and all occasions,
but he follows the example of Abraham
Lincoln and keeps note book which is
full of them. Ho Keeps the note books in
drawer at home and look, them over,
not only when he wants one for a
speech, but whenever he gets blue. He
says that his note books arc better medi
cine than anything the doctors can pre-
scribe. Some one who professe,l to have
seen the inside of one of Mir. Donnelly's
note books says that when the sage gets
a good anecdote or a striking bit Of
poetry, he makes marginal note beside
it of some man whom it will fit.-Minne.

Well Earned Praise.

Pierre Free Press: The Free Press
takes pleasure in bearing evidence to
the fact that Hon. Geo. A. Mathews
has proved himself to be man who
can sink personal interest for the
cause of the public. Personal inter
ests and personal ambition would have
led most men to have at least done
nothing this session of congress to-
wards admission, as his term of office
does not begin until the next congress,
and by delay he would be the present
gamer. A smaller-minded man would
probably have argued that in case of
admission before he took his seat, he
would not only be ROBBED of the we'll
earned emo!nments of the office, but
much OF the honor and cieAit, Mr.
Mathews is not that hln,i ot Z. man.
He has showed himself equal TO the
emergency, has pulled off Ills coat and
gone to work to aid in securing the
greatest good to the greatest number.
He has worked hand in hand with Del
egate Clifford in all things. The pub
lie is proverbially ungrateful. but il

Making Money by Raising sluuk,.

Mr.. Joseph Lininger, who lives about
twenty miles northeast of this city, is
proprietor Of skunk ranch, probably
the only one in tho state. Mr.. Lininger
established his t'skunkery" with only a
few animals, and now there are fifty in
the corral. ri set OUT" remarked the
proprietor when interviewed, "to raise
500 of the animals before slaughtering
any, and at the present rate of increase
it will not be long before that number is
realized" Glow about the odor?" was
asked. "There is none whatever; you
can go right up to the corral, and defy
you to tell b.. the odor that there is a
skunk in the neighborhood. They never
eject their acrid and offensive fluid ex-
cept as means of self defense, and if
they are not molested there is no dam
ger. Besides, it is very easy matter to
remove from the kittens the glands con-
tanning the offensive secretions, and thus
.disarm them for life. The skunk is an
animal easily raised, and is quite valua-
BILE for its oil and fur. The skin is worth
from Is cents to S1.50, and the yield of
oil is about of the same value They

breed several times in season, the same

The gratifying newsfrcm Washi n

reservation bill was received this after
noon. The presidents signature now is
wanted to make it a law and there are
good reasons for thinking this will not
be withheld. The features of the bill

part of Dakotans that the law will not
bea useless enactment, as it essentially
conforms to every requirement of the
Indians, as expressed by the chiefs

summer in the interest of reservation
matters, and who were supposed to be
clothed with authority from the tribes
which they represented. The enact.
ment of this law will be secondary

way now. We have waited long and

Unfortunate. But True.

submitted to the peoplein October. If
the Sioux Falls constitution is rejected
at the May election the constitutional
convention will adopt new constitu-
tion and resubmit it for ratification at
the October election. AT this election
the temporary location Of a seat of gov
ernment will be voted on and state Of
ficers, legislators and two congressman
will be elected. Under this arrange
ment the ratification of the Sioux Falls
constitution of 1885 at the May election
would not hasten statehood. 1t is
therefore probable that it will be re-

Bread Unknown.

B3ead is not the staff of life to many
people of civilized nations because they
do not eat it. Baked loaves of bread are
unknown in many parts of South Austria
and of Italy, and throughout the ag1i
cultural districts of Roumania. Nos
many miles from Vienna bread is never
seen, its place being taken by sterz, a
kind of porridge made from ground
beech nuts, which is taken at breakfast
with fresh or curdled milk; at dinner
with broth or fried lard, and with milk
again for supper. In the north of Italy
the peasantry live chiefly on polenta, a
porridge made Of boiled maize. 1t is in
every sense the italian PEASANTS daily
bread. The Roumanians eat mama
iga, made of maize and like the polenta
except that the grains are not allowed to
settle as in the italian dish. Sterz is
also known as heiden and takes the place
of bread in Corinthia and many parts of
the Tyrol.-Good Housekeeping.

Lewis and Clarke county. It is to be
4,300 feet long, extending directly into

sixteen months for completion. 1t is
being driven 500 feet below the lower
level, OF over 1000 feet from the sur
