marck, and others, suffered to the ex-
tent of 300 each.
The townsite was laid out by j. %.
Turner, an engineer in the employ
OF Ahe Northern Pacific, assisted by
by Colonel Sweet and John Bowen, the
latter Of whom became an agent under
Colonel Sweet for the sale Of town lots.
It was originally intended to occupy the
townsite for the Puget Sound company
under the townsite laws, using the name
Of George w. Sweet as proprietor /; there
fore, the original records show him to
have been the proprietor. But wishing
to gain title by more direct cut, Colonel
Sweet employed Joseph Pennell, now q
contractor on the New York acqueduct,
s. II. Lille, w. s Oraw, and others to
occupy the desired grounds as pre-
emption claims, under an agreement to
abandon the claims in his favor when de-
manded, an understanding being had
with them that if the land was entered
in their names it should be transferred
to him.
EARLY in June, 1872, Edmond Hackett,
now resident of Oklahoma, came to
Bismarck i'll the employ Of DR.. w. A.
Burleigh, now a candidate for dis
trict judgeship in Montana and after
whom Burleigh county was named. DR.,
Burleigh had the contract for building
fifty miles Of the Northern Pacific road
east of Bismarck. Hackett was engaged
as a carpenter in the construction Of
Burleigh's buildings, a warehouse which
stood where the Central block now stands
and mess house on the present site Of
the Dakota block. John w. Proctor
arrived about this time, and after pur.
chasing a lot of Colonel Sweet, where
the Lamborn hospital now stands, de.
termined to claim the quarter section
lying east of the present site Of the
Sheridan house, under an arrangement
with John J. Jackman and j. 7. Hill
now president Of the Manitoba railroad
Edmond Hackett, for the same parties
also agreefto claim the quarter section
lying west of Fifth street, embracing

DImInntire Penmanshin.

The number of writers who have at.
tanned this useless art Of minute penman.
ship, so perplexing to editors and print
ers, Is really remarkable. AS is well
known, Charles Dickens was one of the
chief offenders in this direction, his
handwriting being very diminutive.
while every inch of his manuscript was
usually covered, as though paper were
both scarce and expensive. His habit of
writing with blue ink upon blue paper
with frequent interlinations and cross
lines, completed his ehormities, and must
have made his copy burden TO the
wearied proof reader and compositor. OF
like nature was the chirography of
Douglas Jerrold, who jotted down his
Jokes upon little slips OF blue paper i'm
letters smaller than the type In which
they We're presently TO be set.
Charlotte Bronte's handwriting was so
exceedingly delicate that il appeared 20
have been traced with a needle, while
Thackeray wrote a fine, feminine hand
and delighted in ornamenting his manu-.
script with pen and ink sketches and
caricatures Of his famons characters.
Captain Marryatt, it is said, wrote such
an exceedingly fine hand that whenever
the copyist rested from his labors he was
obliged to put in pin where he left off in
order TO find the place again. Another
expert in microscopic penmanship is the
English noyelist, II. ID. Blackmore. who.
like Dickens, writes with blue ink. and
in tiny, detached characters, which are
almost undecipherable at first sight. His
cotemporary, William Black, is also noted
for the wonderful minuteuess Of his Chi
Biography.
Among American authors Of extreme
economy in the use of ink is the novelist,
Cable, who writes dapper little hand
with fine pointed steel pen; Julian
Hawthorne, whose letters are we'll formed
but almost infinitesimal in size, and the
poet Stoddard, who uses sharp pointed
lead pencil and gets about 1900 words on
a single sheet of fooIscap.

TO CLEAN rNnRAyINas.

Put the engraving on clean board
and cover it with thin layer of common
salt, finely pulverized; then squeeze
lemon-juice upon the salt until consid-
erable portion Of il is dissolved. After
every part OF the picture has been sub.
jected to this treatment elevate one end
or the board so that IL will form an angle
of about forty-fve degrees with the hori-
Lon. From a tealIettle or other suitable
vessel pour on the engraving boiling
water until the salt and lemon-iuice are
entirely washed off. The engraving will
then be perfectly clean and free from
stain II must be dried on the board or
on some smooth surface gradually, not by
the fire or sun.
Immerse the print for an hour or so (or
longer if necessary inn lye made by add
ing TO the strongest muriatic acid its own
weight in water, and TO three parts Of
this mixture adding one of red oxide Of
manganese. India ink stains should i'm
the first instance be taken out with India
rubber very carefully. If the print has
been mounted the paste on the back
should be removed with warm wnter.
Another recipe is: Lay the engraving
down on a smooth board with n clean
sheet of paper underneath, and with a
clean sponge and water wet the picture
on both side and then saturate il well
with a soft sponge with the following
mixture; quarter ofa pound chloride OF
lime, two ounces of oxalic acid and one
quart Of soft water and apply.--Amegi-

More Than 10000, 900 Babies a Year

1t has been computed that between SO.
600, 900 and 81, 900, 600 babies arc born
into the world each year. The rate of
birth is, therefore, about seventy a min
ute, or rather more than one for every
beat Of the clock. With the one-a-min
ute calculation every one is familiar. but
1t Is not every one who stops to calcucate
what this means when it comes to a
years supply. And it will, probably.
therefore, startle a good many persons to
find on the authority Of writer in the
Hospital that could the infants Of year
be ranged in n line in cradles seven deep
they would go around the globe.
We have the ingenious conclusion also.
that, supposing the little men to grow up
and the sexes TO be about equally divided.
we should have an army n hundred times
as large as the forces Of the British I'm

soldier The same writer looks at the
matter in still more picturesque light.
He imagincs the babies being carried past
a given point in their mothers charge one

continuously night and day until the Iasf

a sufficient liberal rate Of speed is al

ART OF Borrts CLEANING.

Most medicine-bottles cau be cleaned
by washing thoroughly ia hot soap-suds
and rinsing in cold water; but there may
be some that will require different treat
ment. Some druggists clean narrow
necked bottles by putting in bits of blot
ting paper with some water, shaking
well, emptying, them rinsing. This will
make them very clean Frequently bot
ties will be musty when standing any
length OF time, and in this case, IL they
are filled with cold water and let stand
for an hour OF two, the musty smell will
disappear. II the bottles are greasy. fill
with warm water, put in piece of wash
ing soda, allow it to dissolve, then shake
the bottle thoroughly, empty, rinse, and
put 90 drain. A few drops OF ammonia
in bottle of warm water will be found
excellent TO clean greasy bottle.
Powdered charcoal and water are good
to clean a bottle that is not greasy. - once
