All. sweeter the roses blowing
On the cheeks of those we love,

The cheeks red rose above.
But how soon the lily and the rose
wither in the faces OF cur American women.

The ARTEsIAN WELLS OF DAKOTA are
probably the most remarkable for pressure,
and the immense quantity of water sup
piled, of any ever opened. More than
hundred of such wells from 500 to 1900
feet deep, are today in successful operation,
distributed throughout twenty-nine cuun-
ties from Nankton, in the extreme south,
to Pembna, in the extreme north, giving
forth "A constant, never varying stream,
which is in no wise affected by the ncreas
ed number of wells, and showing a gauge
pressure in some instances as high as 100,
40, 40, and lSi pounds To the square inch.

A novel and economical method of haul
ing logs has been put in use in the Adlron-
dack woods this season The sleigh is of
enormous size, and in appearance resem-
bles somewhat box car 1t is eight feet
high and the bobs six feet wide The mo
tive power is supplied by a boiler which
stands seven feet high, and weighs 5000
pounds, and two high pressure engines of
800 horse power, weighing $500 pounds
There are four immense drive wheels which
weigh 1900 pounds, and are driven by an
endless chain from the engine. The sleigh
is steered somewhat after the manner of a
steamboat, The drive wheels are covered
for about three fourths of their circumfer
ence by "A steam box into which the steam
exhausts the water falling into the track
of the sleigh, freezes, and thus makes a
road of solid. ice. To prevent the drive
wheels from slipping, these are supplied
with spurs, three inches deep and ten inch
es long The sleigh is capable of carrying
900 feet of logs at one time, which is
equivalent TO the amount that would ordi-
nariy be drawn by - teams of horses,
The cost of the outfit is about $1,000, but il
will pay for itself in the saving of team

THE FREE TRlDE RAiNBOU.
The New Work sun shows how Conn
pIeIeIy IL was Bur-ted in Three Great
NOrIhMezIe states.


Three of the Republican states of the
Northwest, which Mr.. Cleveland and his
tariff reform prophets hoped to carry for
the Democracy ON the Mills bill as an issue,
are Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa. The
rainbow spanned them all The political
amanacs now published afford the figures
for an an exact comparison Of expectations
with results In the following exhibit the
Tribune almanac is used
In Wisconsin the Republican plurality of
II Cos for Blaine in 1884 was increased to
1881 for Harrison. The Cleveland vote
was a IS per cent of the whole in 1884 in
1855 it fell TO 43. 1s per cent of the sixty
e ght counties in the state Cleveland car
ried twenty in 1884 aud only fifteen in 1883.
One of the Cleveland counties of 1855 did
It exist in 1884 Cleveland did not carry
single county which went Republican in
1854. Six counties were lost to the De
mocracy by the tariff reform issue. of the
nineteen counties which were Democratic
four years ago, eight actually gave a small
er vote for Cleveland in 1883 than in 1891,
Of the eleven remaining counties, there are
only three where the Republican gains over
1884 did not exceed the Democratic gains.
Milwaukee, the metropolis, increased its Re
publican majority from dl3 in 1884 to iO9G
in 1883. So much for Mr.. Nilass rainbow.
Now apply the i'auie test to Michigan.
The Republican plurality of 33OS for Blaine
was increased to % ,9ls for Harrison. Mr..
! Cleveland's percentage of the total vote fell
from A. 20 in 1884 TO As Oh in 1888. OF the
eighty three counties in Michigan Cleveland
carried twenty nine in 1884 and only TWEEN
ty-three last year. He gained Iosco and
| the insignificant counties Of Crawford, On.
tonagon, Oscoda, and Presque Isle, aud lost
Arenac, Barry, Berrien, Gratiot, lonia
Kent, Newago, Roscommon, Shawasse, st,
Clair aud St. Joseph. He actually polled
fewer votes than four years ago in eighteen
counties In only twenty counties out ol
the eighty-three did Mr.. Cleveland gair
more votes, as compared with 1884, thar
the Republican candidate. So much fol
