The art of luminous painting was
known to the japanese nine hun
dred years ago, and an extract from
one of their old writers has been
translated as follows: zone Su
Ngoh, many years ago, had apicture
of an OK. Every day the OK left the
picture frame to Craze and returned
to sleep within it at night. This
picture came into the possession of
the Emperor Tai Tsung, of the Sung
dynasty "a. ID. 976-9gS), who show
ed it to his courtiers, and asked
them for an explanation, which
none of them, however, could give.
AT last certain Buddhist priest said
that the Japanese found some nacre-
Gus substance within the flesh of
certain kind of oyster they picked
up when the rocks were barred at
low tide, and that they ground this
into color material and then painted
pictures with it which We're invisi-
ble by day and luminous by night"
The secret simply was that during
the day the figure of the OK was not
visible, and it was therefore SAID that
it left the frame to go to grazing.
In museum of curiosities at Sa-
lem, Mass, there is preserved a COM
mon cherry seed or stone, followed
and fashioned like basket. With
in the basket are twelve tiny silver
spoons, the shape and finish of
which cannot be distinguished with
the naked eye. The name of the
artist who constructed this little
wonder has been lost, but the eX-
istence of the thing itself will not be
questioned by any one from the old
witch headquarters of the Bay state.

! TIE twenty-third national encamp-
ment of the Grand Army OF the Repub-
lie at Milwaukee, Wis, the last week of
August, 1889, now bids fair to be the
largest and most successful yet held.
Comrades have generally concluded to
accept the advice of the commander-in-
chief and go en- masse, and this shows
their appreciation of the magnificent
hospitality rendered by the city of Mill
waukee. Comrades of the Northwest
will find this to be the best and cheap
est opportunity to attend an encamp-
ment that will be presented for years,
as future encampments will doubtless
be much farther away.
The Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway is the short line and direct
route from St. Paul and Minneapolis
to Milwaukee 1t has five daily trains
to and from that city, and gives pas
sengers choice of three separate and
distinct routes going and returning.
1t has one train that runs Through
by daylight" relieving comrades who
take it of the expense of sleeping car
fare. The rate from st. Paul or Mime
apolis to Milwaukee and return is $9.70,
or one fare for the round trip. This
rate is open to everybody, whether
members of the Grand Army or not.
The sale of tickets will begin on Aug.
81, and close on Aug. %, and return
tickets will be good until Sept. 5, in
elusive. Those who wish to make "side
trips" from Milwaukee may deposit
their return tickets with the joint agent
there; call for them any time before
Sept. 50 and they will be made good to
destination.

LATE CROP FIGURES.

Wheat Returns by Acres-Dry
Weather Damaging Corn and
Flax.
Yesterdays reports on the crops and
weather conveyed very little additional
information. Throughout Minnesota
there is yet very much wheat in stacks,
though nearly every vicinity has
threshed sufficient to give fair indica-
ton of the yield. Where the grain is
yet in stack it is considered to be be-
yond danger of any character. The
major portion of the southern and
southwestern portions of the state is
very dry, and i'll some sections rain has
not fallen in the past seven weeks. The
effect on corn has been very damaging,
and flax suffered in proportion. Late
planted corn will now hardly mature
before early frOsts, and the nip will also
overtake much of the fax, in sections.
AS rapidly as sufficient data are at
hand, estimates of the acreage yield are
being made. TO get at an idea of
the crop in this way, it must be un-
derstood that Is bushels to the acre is a
good, full yield for Minnesota, while IL
to IA would be considered satisfactory.
The Omaha roads latest reports show
the following returns:
Vernon Center, 25 blu. as far as
threshed; Madelia, % to Is bu.; Jordan,
full average of 20 bu., oats so to 70 bu.,
barley 40 bu; East Henderson, % to so
bu.; Dundee, 20 bu.; AvOca, Is bu.
Slayton, 20 bu.; Woodstock, 10 bu.;

The Vanderbilt System of Rail-
ways.

Few persons have any conception of
the magnitude of the interests covered
by the above title, and very few even
among the railway fraternity are aware
Of how fully this vast system occupies
the field in which it is located; but if
you will take map and trace OUT, first,
the New York Central & Hudson River:
second, the Boston d Albany; third, the
Lake Shore IL Michigan Southern;
fourth, the Michigan Central; fifth, the
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago Il st.
Louis formerly the Bee Line" and
''Big Four'O railroads, you will be i'm
pressed with the wonderful foresight of
the men who designed and executed the
plan to operate under uniform policy,
and practically common control, a
system of railways that should furnish
unsurpassed transportation facilities to
the great commercial empire outlined
above, and Il trip over this grand aggre-
CATION will convince the most skeptical
that the Vanderbilt system of railways,
of which the New York Central & Hud-
son River railroad is the main stem,
traverses the very heart of the business
portion of this continent, touching,
either directly or through its immediate
connections, all the important COM
mercial centers of the country, and
offering to health, pleasure and bust
ness travel facilities that are not equaled
by any similar institution in the world.
An edition of 100000 copies of very
neat little pamphlet bearing the title at
the head of this article has just been
issued by the American Bank Note
company, of New York, which contains
much interesting information concern
ing this great system.

THE KIND OF FAILURE
They Are Having in South Dakota
With the Crops This Year.

WATERBURY,, S. D., Aug. 16.-The
recent heavy rains have put the corn out
of the way of drOuth, and now, unless
we should have extremely early frosts.
the corn belt will show up good fifty
bushels per acre. This, added to a
wheat yield of from ten to twenty
bushels. ten bushels of flax, large
yield-twO tons, at least-Of millet, and
the tinest-not largest-crop of wild
hay ever raised, lots of hogs and steers,
and the ordinary farmer will manage to
do very we'll. This is the kind of a
total failure that South Dakota this
year shows up. Isn't it time that such
reports of fatal failure were suppressed?
1t would be vastly better for the coun-
try il the class of crOakers who have
cried ''total failure'' all the season
could be baniShed, or if a tax could be
raised to send them to the poor house
at their last known residence. There
would be no complaint made by the Or
binary. taxpayer. Two or three men at
the Huron convention in June did more
to injure the reputation of South Da-
kota than a two years crop can over
come. Another great bug-bear is the
irrigation subject. Scare everybody to
death keep them out: if any one has
an idea of locating. tell them that as
farming country South Dakota is fail
ure, and Kansas and Nebraska will take
them in. A heavier amount of rainfall
would be of vast advantage to us, but
we get enough now so that our crops al
ways beat all other new countries.
South Dakota. as whole. has very
fair crop. Including the corn and millet,
it is far above that of any state we know

This is not capital scheme. but a

GLENDALE, N. D., Aug. 16.-The
Republican county convention, to elect
delegates to the Fargo state convention,
met here the 18th of this month. 1t was
not the most harmonious convention
that ever met, for there was strong
opposition to the slate made up for the
occasion. A minority report Of the COM
mittee on the order of business was pre-.
scented, recommending that the county
be divided into nine delegate districts,
and that one delegate be elected from
each district. This so ratified the slate
men that on the ballot taken on the
adoption of the minority report there
were five more ballots put in the hat
than there were delegates to the con-
vention. A new ballot was taken, and
it was found the regulars had nearly
two-thirds of the convention. The min
ority then squealed, and all the dele
gates on their printed ticket were elect
ed with but little opposition. The ring
of the party, which controlled the
convention, elected nine delegates
to the state convention, who
are in favor of the nomination
of John Kelly for superintendent of
schools for North Dakota. Kelly came
