Three Philadelphia bellies attracted
considerable attention on an east bound
passenger train. They had been to
CalifOrnia, had visited the National
park, and were en- route home. While
in the park the young ladies manu-
featured dresses of leaves and MOSES.
which they gathered from the glens and
brooks along the route. The dresses
were most artistIcally made, and were
as beautiful as novel. The plan of con
structi9n was the same as that used in
the construction of paper dresses. The
ground work, or foundation, was cloth,
and the leaves and MOSES were artisti-
cally sewed upon the same The leaves
were the most beautiful ornaments,
e. cry tint of the autumn forests being
represented.
The dresses were made under an
agreement between the young ladies
that the novel costumes should be worn
at the first ball given at their home in
the Keystone state. But the dresses
s5ere too beautiful to remain in their
trunks. The temptation to appear in
them and create a sensation was too
great to be resisted, and the other
morning they donned them, and took
particular pains to appear on the plat
form at every station in order that their
genius and art might be appreciated

Typesetting in Japan.
Printers CircuIar.1


The advantages of alphabetic writing
are nowhere more cOnspicuously shown
than in a large printing Office. The
compositor stands within easy reach of
every character he may have need OF,
and a boy can learn the position of each
in the case in a few hours. 1t is quite
another matter where each word has a
distinct character, as in China and
Japan. A correspondent, describing
the office of Japanese paper, says that
q fuIl font of Japanese type comprises
200 characters, of which 5000 are in
constant use, and for ,, 600 more there
are ire luent calls.
Tie type is. distributed about the
composing room on racks, like those i'll
a reading-roOm, and the compositors
wander up and down the aisles, setting
type and taking exercise at once. With
so many characters it is no wonder that
Japanese proof readers have 70 be men
of intelligence and high scholarship.
The impOssibility of telegraphing single
character words has kept this great in
strument of civilization in foreign lands,
and made it practically useless for the
natives of China and Japan. To these
the telephone is an eS'---9.' cling,
which they are nOt-slow to appreciate.

THE PROBLEM OF LIFE.

I walk through the streets, I look up at
the sky,
1 know no more than a babe at the
breast;
tremble and thrill with a vague unrest
20 get at the heart of LIES mystery.
What does it avail that my thoughts go
out
Through the trackless wastes Of star
gem'd space
If they bring nothing back TO my dwell
ing place
But Pigments of error and Pigments of
doubt?
How do I know that the vanished and
dead
Have builded them homes on that calm
azure sea?
What is the faith of another to mef
Yet how can live if live but by bread'
OH not for myself these hopes and these
think of the lives that went out long
ago;
think of the graves that are under the
snow,
"And recompense seek for the value of
tears"
The lips that have kissed, and the hearts
that have bled
For other torn hearts. And they who
made rhymes,
And all the great souls that ever rung
chimes
Through the loves of the race--they have
lied. Are they deadE
This body so intricate! How do we know
That the fair human flower niatured by
the earth
Impregnate by love-may not yield the
birth
OF q soul through the pangs Of its infinite
woe! -Woman's World

The {" tone" as a weight
rYouh's Companio !

The "stone, as weight, is an ex-
ample of approximate uncertainty. We
know that this was in use until within
The present century. 1t was nothing
more than a cobblc-stODe such as may
be picked up on the shore of the sea,
and was used as a weight in one scale
pan TO balance the article to be
weighed.
Such cobble-stones were common in
the shops, and often they had rings let
IN with their weight marked on them.
There was a different standard for diff.
ferent articles. At a butcher stall a
stone was fourteen pounds. This is the
only meaning which this weight has
kent to our day.

Proclamation.

Territory of Dakota. Executive De.
partment. President of the United
States has set apart Tuesday, the 30th
day Of April, 1889, the same being the
first centennial day of the Inauguration
of George Washington as President of
the United States, for prayer and thanks
giving to Almighty God for having
vouchsafed to the American republic q
hundred years of national life.
The supreme duty of forming organic
laws and governments for twoalew states
to be forever members of the Federal
Union, which confronts the citizens of
Dakota upon entering into their heritage
OF the most perfect civil and religious
liberty ever established upon earth. rem
der it specially fitting for them to devote
day to contrite prayer thanksgiving
song and patriotic story to approach as
near as may be the fountain Of unerrlng
truth, and draw upon the rich treasury Of
our country's history for patriotic inspi-
ration, that the minds of the childre q
may be instructed, the heartsraf the aged
be gladdened, and the hands Of those
upon whom devolve the chief duties of
the hour be strengthened.
therefore enjoin upon the people of
Dakota to assemble upon the day de.ig-
mated by the President, at the hour of 10
o'clock a. M, at their various churcaes
and places for instruction and devotion,
and there engage in such sacred exercises
as seemeth comely to Christian people
gathered from among all nations and
climes to land of plenty and beauty
which is to be the home of themselves
and their children forever.

IT had been settled, we believe, that
the County Republican Convention to
elect delegates to the District Convention
at Steele was to be held about May 4,
and this would have allowed ample time
to hold the township caucuses. Chair
man Hickle necessarily waited for the
action of the district committee, and that
committee has promptly acted. Sa,ur.
day, May 4, is the date set for the district
convention at Steele. This necessitutes
the holding of the county convention
few days earlier. Here comes the rub.
The Times this week will probably con
tam call for the county convention on
May 4, unless notice that the district
convention is set for that day renchrs Mr..
Hlckle. AS a matter of necessity, there.
fore, but claiming no authority therefor,
the RECORD, In publishing the county
call, changes the date from Saturday, Nav
A. to Tuesday, April 30. This date is too
carly, of course, but it barely leaves time
for delegates from the southern part OF
the county to the county convention who
may be selected to go to Steele to return
home and make arrangements for the
trip. Information regarding the dilemma
which exists has been sent to Chairman
Hickle and the township committeeman.
Such information ought to reach all parts
of the county by Saturday evening, ex.
cepting upper Beaver and the Holland
Settlement. and we earnestly request that
any one who may see resident of either
of those neighborhoods this week will
give them this information. Our initial
move toward statehood ought to bring
out full delegations to the convention
and good attendance at the caucuses.

Tho Jail Matter.

Although again nothing appears In the
official minutes of the county board re.
gardlng the proposal to remove from the
county's big stone building to the Bot
tomley structure, yet the question was
the chief topic of discussion before the
commissioners Saturday. Early In the
evening the matter was brought up by
Chairman Gayton and laid before the
board. Mr.. Bottomley was invited to
make statement on the subject. He
said he had been to Bismarck and had
consulted with L. N. Griffin and others
as to who was the best mechanic to do
the work, and that with ono accord they
referred him to a mason named Burns.
He also said that 1t would cost from $3.50
to $500 to build the vault.
Commissioner Child said that he was
not in favor of making q contract for

view of improving the grass by cultiva-

What strange things a man will see
when he has gun. Last week two hunt
ers from up Beaver went to the river fish
ing. When they got INTO the timber
they began talking of the lynx which
Corbln caught. A little further down
they came upon one sitting on log
Cooking their guns on sight of it, they
began to look at one another. Finally
they concluded to capture the varmiut
and, as it was too far to go for Corbin,
they crawlcd around on their hands and
knees for mile or two to get good po-
sition for a shot. At length one said lie
could see the animals hair. The other
remarking Il see his body" raised his
gun, took aim, and pulled the trigger
The gun snapped, and the varmiut
wheeled around with an ugly look. Then
the astonisAed hunters saw that it was
Pat Malloy. Pat had been sitting on the
log since morning, fishing, and was so in.
tently watching a promising nibble that
he had not noticed the mossbacks from
up the creek until the gun snapped.
Thinking that the log was breaking from
the weight of the string OF fish that he
had caught apd tied to it. he looked
around in time to see the coat-tails of the
hunters streaming in the breeze as they
scooted along the homeward trail. They
said the animal was as big as q man.
Since writing the above have died.

The Farmers Alliance has. benefited
its members in many ways, and probably
in none more than lu furnishing safe IN.
surance at the smallest possible cost.
The season to effect insurance against
hail being at hand, we would call the at.
tentlon of farmers to the fact that they
would benefit themselves by taking q
policy against hail from the Alliance
Hail Association, which by actual expe-
renee if the past has proven itself en-.
tirely safe and reliable, having promptly
paid every loss, while at the same time
there was shown strict economy in the
management, making its assessments
lighter, and cost Of insuring smaller to
its members, than In any other company
giving an equal amount of protection.
In short the working and results of the
Alliance Hail Association have given en-
tire satisfaction. The solicitor will soon
call upon every farmer, give any desired
explanation, and write the insurance If
desired.
