Unprecedented Weather.

The mild weather of the past fall
ton of country, is without precedent.
Old settlers say that the winter eleven
years ago was somewhat similar, but
this winter has been more remarkable
than that one, because it'has been
milder. The very few cold days we
have had this season have been days
of sunshine, with little or no wind,
and free from that dampness so COM
mon in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Animals have run out and obtained
"their own living' 10y feeding on the
grasses in the meadows and low
ground or sloughs, instead Outstanding
around barns and out buildings, with
their oacks bumped up and shivering
as they do in the more eastern States
when the thermometer does not regis
ter so low temperature by ten or
twelve degrees as in this locality.
This is owing to the damp, chilly,
searching atmosphere Of those States.
People residing III the eastern States
who read about the cheerless winters
of Minnesota and wonder how any
one can live here when the thermom-
eter indicates 30 and 40 degrees below
zero, should understand that so degrees
below here is not really so bad day
to be out doors as 10 below in the
damp, misty air of Illinois; and when
1t is five or ten below here no one
thinks of calling it cold, That's the
difference between the climate OF
Minnesota and Illinois. We speak OF
Illinois because we resided there for
thirty years and know all about the
popularity of that climate in the
winter: Rain one day, snow and
| slush the next, mud the next, and the
roads so rough that it is almost inn
possible to travel OH them. While
here we have no ram, no mud, and
the roads as smooth as a plank floor
That this is q healthy climate, there
is no earthly doubt. That we. have
/ the finest agricultural lands on the
| American continent, is as true as holy
writ. That those who are seeking
new homes. can do better here than
i'm any other part of the great North.
west, is equally true. Yes, Minnesota
is good State to emigrate to, and
there is no better section in the State
for those who want to secure home,
than right here in Stevens county.

WORLD ENGLISH. - The great adj
vantage claimed by DIR. A Melville
Bell for English as the universal
language, is the simplicity OF Its
grammar, which makes English I'M
measurably superior to every form Of
artificial language as we'll as TO other
national tongues. The various moods
and lenses, declensions ani canjuga-
tions, which burden other gmmmars
have practically no existence for us.
DIR. Bell advocates further simplifica-
ton. however. by removing gram
NAUTICAL irregularities-usin ''childs''
instead of children ''gooder' in
stead of better" ETC., adopting q
more orderly spelling, and improving
the ALPHABET 30 as ia give q letter for
