There is frightful destitution among
the farmers of North Dakota and Can
ada. The dry hot winds in portions Of
the extreme north of Dakota, near the
boundary line have played havoc with
the crops, and the farmers are reduced
to eating field rodents, gophers, etc,
for subsistence. Some of the farmers
have eaten nothing but potatoes and
turnips for months.

HENRI X IBSEN
The Prevailing Dramatic Genius in

the latest portrait, is the literary sensation
in EpglaDd. HIS dramas are being pre-
sented in Germany, aud will soon be per-
formed in Russ a. 10 our own country
they are becoming popular, and an Ibse
Club has been started in B IS on. Ibsen is
the literary man of the period.
He was born at Skien, small town on
the south coast of Norway, on March 20,
1928. His parents were in fairy good cir
cumstances at the time of his birth, but
when Henrik was only eight years old his
father died and the family were plunged
into condition of extreme poverty. At
sixteen young Ibsen was bound apprentice

Ibsen had made some literary teDpts
which were unsuccessful In 1851 Ole
Bull appointed him director of the Nation
al Theatre at Bergen, where he began to
dream of dramatic fame. Ibsen was made
artistic director IF he Norwegian Theatre
at Christisna in 1858. He made mont in
this Office, and in 1864 changed his resi-
dence for one more helpful to literary un-
dertakings than be found in Norway
Ibsen has lived successively in Rome,
Ischia, Dresden and Munich. He is bach
elor, solitary in his habits and dreamer in
his views on social questions. He has
written new play at the rate of one every
two years, nee the time when he first
took up the pen of the dramatic writer.

To be rendered a Testimonial by
Friends in New York.

Honored names, among them that Of
Chauncy M. Depew, are printed in the list
of distinguished people who are patrons of
the testimonial entertainment to be given
in New York in honor of Mrs. Lille
Devereaux Blake. The great theme OF the
occasion will be what people who think as
Mrs. Blake does, call "the emancipation of
woman" and the entertainment will con-
sist of nineteen historical tableaux illus
trative of ante-colonial and co. lonial days, the
Revolutionary period and great national
and reformatOry movements.
Mrs. Blake, who has spent the best years
of her life as leader in what is known as
the woman's rights movement, was born in
Raleigh, North Carolina in August, 1885.
Both her parents were descended from
Jor athan Edwards. Her father died in
1887, and the widow subsequently re-
moved to New Haven, Connecticut, where,
in 1855, Lille was married to Frank Um-
sted, lawyer of Philadelphia, with whom
she lived two years in st. Louis, Missouri.
Mr.. Umsted died in 1859, and from that
date his widow contributed largely to
leading newspapers and magazines. In
1866 Mrs. Umsted married Grenfill Blake,
of New York City. She published "Fet-
tered for Life" novel designed to show
the legal disadvantages of women, in 1872.
Mrs. Blake has been known as one of the
leading advocates of the enfranchisement
of her sex, since 1870; and has written
much in the newspapers on the subject
since that date. She is skilled public
speaker and witty and forcible in the ad-
v0cacy of her opinions.

in the anti slavery agitation, as journalist,
lecturer and writer of pamphlets. He was

Two Heartless Parrots.

An amusing story is told of a wealthy
old lady who had frequently expressed her
intention of leaving all her money to her
faithful servant. One day the servant was
sitting in the kitchen talking with her
sweetheart, when she said l wish the
old lady was dead"
A parrot which belonged to the lady had
overheard this wicked remark and every
time its mistress was in its presence ii
cried: II wish the old lady was dead
The lady getting annoyed at hearing it so
often, went to her minister and told him
about it, upon which he promised to send
parrot of his, which was very religious
one, to stay beside hers for day or two,
and see if it would convert it, This was
done, and the lady going into the room
where they were kept few days after,
was rather taken aback at hearing her OVID
parrot crying out, II wish the old lady was
dead" and the minister's responding in
solemn tones. Amen, amen"

Daughter Of the DepOsed Emperor
Dom Pedro.

The Empire of Brazil has been over
thrown and a Republic instituted. We
give portrait of the person, next to the
deposed Emperor, most affected by the
revOlutiOn-the Crown Princess label,
who has tasted the sweets OF power twice
during her fathers absence from Brazil,
but who will probably spend the rest of
her life in private station.
label, who is Dom Pedro's only child,
was born in 1916 In 1864 she was mar
ried to Prince Louis of Orleans, COmte d.
Eu, the eldest son Of the Due de Nemours,
and cousin of the Comte de Paris. She has
three sons, the eldest fourte. n years old
The Crown Princess acted as regent during
her fathers absence in 1876 and again in
1885, In public address at Pernambuco
about two monts ago the Count d'Eu, her
husband, then Generalissimo of the earmy,
solemnly declared on behalf of his father
in-law, Dom Pedro, and in the lame of his
wife and children, that the entire Imperial
family was prepared to surrender the
throne and leave Brazil as soon as the ma
tion had by popular vote expressed its de-
sire for Republic in lieu of monarchy.
From this it would seem that symptoms of
dsaffection had appeared at that time.

Franklin's Advice to Parents.

Benjamin Franklins views on the train
ing of children were set forth in letter ad-
dressed to lady, congratulating her upon
the we'll being of her baby boy, whom she
had announced as having cut five teeth.
He wrote:
"Pray let him have everything he likes
I think it of great consequence while the
features of the countenance are forming; it
gives them pleasant air, and one that be-
comes fixed and natural by habit; the face
is ever handsomer afterward for it, and on
that much of q persons good fortune and
success in life may depend" Franklin
did not mean by this that the child should
be given all the food it wanted, but that it
should be surrounded by pleasant objects
for its amusement and diversion. Who
has not seen the scowl of discomfort upon
the face of an infant deepen and become a
permanent effect-lfe-long proof of the
discomforts of it's baby y-hood? Verify the
sins of the parents are visited upon their
helpless children.
After few more telling arguments in
favor of the child, the writer says: "Al
ways believe q child-at least do not ex-
press your unbelief if you can
help it, If the little fellow sees
that you rely upon his word, he
feels an increased respect for the truth and
for himself. until at length his character
for probity will become matured and estab-
lished." Many an exceptionally imagina-
tive child is unable to distinguish between
facts and fancies, as fairy tales and Mother
Goose melodies quite bewilder his brain
with their semblance of reality. Such
children are apt to coniure up curious sto-
ries in which truth and fiction are hope
lessly confused, aud will relate them in all
seriousness.

SOME WASHINGTON YARNS
Reagan as q Bunter.


When the Texas Senator, Reagan, was a
boy in Kentucky the farmers around
brought their grain to the mill and had to
stand in line waiting their turn for the
grist. The mouth of the hopper was on
the third floor, and the miller stood at one
side to help each one with his sack Reagan
was waiting his turn one morning when a
big, hulking fellow, the bully of the coun
ty, stepped up and said:
IL won't wait for this-youngster
Put my wheat in first"
The miller hesitated. 1t was against the
rules, but he was afraid of the bully, and
finally reached out to help him turn it in.
II came first" said Reagan, stoutly.
why didn't you get your wheat in
then ?" sneered the other. Dropping the
sack, Reagan made battering ram of his
head and butted the big fellow clear across
the room to third story window, from
which with one push, he sent him to the
ground. Without waiting to see whether
his man was alive or dead, young Reagan
left the mill and made for the almost un-
known Republic of Texas; not stopping
until after he had crossed the Brazos. He
managed to obtain an Office the same year,
and has held one ever since.

Fourteen Mistakes Of Life.

1.-THE mistakes of my life have been
many" sings the poet. Most people will
endorse the poets lament, and say that
there is no limit to the mistakes of life !;
that they are in number as the sands of the
sea. But it is we'll to be accurate, and a
recent volume, entitled wives and Daugh-
ters," informs US that somebody has pre-
pared definite and limited estimate of the
fundamental errors that human nature is
prone to. Here they are, fourteen in num-
Der:
1t is great mistake to set up our own
standard of right and wrong, and judge
people accordingly; to measure the enjoy
ment of Others by our own to expect uni
formity OF opinion in this world to look
for judgemnt and experience in youth ; to
endeavOr to mould all dispositions alike;
to yield to imn aterial trifles to look for
perfection in our own actions to worry
ourselves and others with what cannot be
remedied not to alleviate all that needs
all.viatiOn as far as lies in our power not
to make allowances for the il frmities of
others; to consider every hing impossible
that we cannot perform to believe only
what our finite minds can grasp; to expect
to be able to understand every thing. The
greatest of mistakes is to live for time
alone, when any moment may launch us
into eternity

One About Thad stevens.

INoW IOTk
Col. Thomas, one time. member of con-
gress, was in the city this week. and among
tales of the old days told the following
about Thadeus Stevens:
"Thaddeus Stevens was sitting in mis-
office one day with a few friends, when in
walked an old lady wearing poke bonnet,
blue goggles and carrying green alpaca
umbrella. She looked around the room as
if in search of some one, and then said
solemnly:
"'Can you tell me where to lind Thad-
deus Stevens, the apostle Of liberty?'
"'Old Thad blushed.
:" 4 am Tnaddeus Stevens he replied
shortly.
"'Are you Thad-e us Stevens the apostle
of liberty?'
" 1 reckon | am, ma'am"
THE old lady dropped her parasol, made
a rush toward Stevens 10 kiss him, and
when he held her off, she said:
81 came from Bucks county to see
Thad us Stevens the Apostle of Liberty
and to take home with me lock of his
hair
The Apostle Of Liberty took off his red
wig, handed it to her and said:
There it is. ma'am. Take as much as
you want"
