WILL CONTINUE TO "1RR1GATE /"

WILL CONTINUE TO "IRRIGATE"
When the great Alexander went forth
on one of his world d-conquerng expe-
ditions he came to river which he
could not go around, and was obliged to
cross. Not having pontoon trains with
him, his only resource was to follow the
example Of one Leander, who. crossed the
Hellespont to see his sbest girl' on the
other side. The turbulent river swal-
lowed up his favorite horse, which SO en-
ragged the great captain that he swore in
his wrath he would make that stream so
insignificant that maiden could wade it
without wetting her ankles. Pitching
his camp near the doomed river his whole
army was soon at work digging trenches
through which to drain and dissipate the
torrent of waters. A whole season was
consumed in the work and campaign ex-
hausted without any other results. The
stream was deprived of it's accustomed
bed and spread over a large area Of coun-
try in little rivulets. Whether maiden
ever appeared to test the truthfulness of
Alexander's engineering prediction, that
gossipy old historian, Herodotus, did
not say. AS an experiment in irrigation
it was no doubt a great success, for it is
safe to assert that the river continued to
flow on in spite of the wrath of Alex
ander.
To ga man up tree" this looks very
much like prohibition" Rum river
may be diverted from it's old channel,
but SO long as it has a fountain it will
continue to flow, and as it will not dam
worth d the result will be it will diff
fuse itself in smaller rivlllets over a
larger area and will 'irrigate' all the
more.

Iris not a bad thing to go out to the
world that every county in North Da-
kota went republican, and gave, on the
average, two to one majority. Thirteen
out of the ninety-two members of the
legislature are democrats. It would be
better, however, if the parties were more
evenly divided-not too even, but just
near enough to impress upon the major
ity the importance of being united upon
a policy, and to discourage bolts and dis
affection born Of disappointment.

Insensibility to Odors.

A Californian, writing in Garden and
Forest with regard to the sense Of taste, cites
the case OF prominent Chicago physician,
who declared that he could detect no differ
ence between the taste Of castor oil and Of
olive oil. To test the question his wife dressed
a salad with OIL ricin., which he partook Of
with great gusto, but not without enjoying
afterward all the remedial benefits Of the
drug. The editor Of The Journal, comment
ing on the foregoing, says: Perhaps this is
only another example Of inability to detect
certain odors. The peculiar flavor" Of cas-
tor oil is conveyed through the olfactory
nerves Children are directed not to breathe
through the nose while taking this medicine,
and In this way they escape its disagreeable
taste" The subject has interested many
readers. One writes: 1T seems like an affec-
tation to say that mignouette has any odor.
IL has no more TO me than a clean china
plate" Another writes that the members Of
his family frequently praise the delightful
fragrance Of the flowers OF a large vine Of
Clematis crispa, now in full bloom, while he
has never vet been able TO detect the slightest
odor in these flowers.
