Great complaint is made by officials
and employees Of the Yellowstone Park
because Of the large number of fierce
animals, mountain lions and bears,
which are focking into the Park. No
one is allowed to discharge a gun within
the limits. When firearms are brought
in they are sealed up and if the seal is
found broken the owner of the weapon
Is punished. This makes the animals
very secure and something must be
done to thin them out to prevent the

Dakota no Beggar.

Dakota is no beggar. South Dakota

Der Of Uncle Sans family, but bless
your soul, don't imagine you are doing
us a favor by letting us in. The favor
is the other way" There is much truth
in this and yet We often see in eastern
papers remarks as if the clamor Of Da-
kota was simply based on a vain desire
to be numbered as one of the states, and
to elect certain congress men. Dakota
is described as trying ito kick the door
down" simply to get inside and yell
b~oisterously and tr~iumphantly. Not SO.
Dakota desires more to get out of the
pains and penalties Of the territorial
condition than into the union. She
seeks more the power to regulate her
own affairs than to NEEDLE with those of
other states. She is paying too much
for being a dependent. She is paying
"A per cent to capitalists Of eastern
states, when she ought to be paying but
. per cent per annum. She would get
ont of that. Her farms are being mort
gagged by the thousand daily to eastern
companies ut enormous and u~surious

Capital by millions which seeks invest
ment is kept out of Dakota simply be-
cause she is a territory. Enterprises
languish and industry is discouraged
simply and solely because Dakota is not
a state. For the privilege Of remaining

1000 Win Not be a Leap Year.

Although the year 1900 will be diyisi-
bic by four without a remainder, it will
not be a leap year. Twelve years must
elapse before the interesting event takes
place, but it was just the same in 1900
and 100, but not in 1900, for that was
a leap year, and the year 200O viii be a
leap year also. Why This should be is
a problem. TO explain in detail would
be a tiresome task, but it rests on the
principle that the difference Of eleven
minutes per day exists between actual
time and calender time. The year is com,
puted at 1861 days, three years being
365 days long and the fourth year sos
In fact, the year is 365 days 5 hours and
45 minutes long. or eleven minutet short

The Grumbier,

Everything goes wrong with some
people because they make it. They
never have any pleasure because they
never get ready to enjoy it. Everything
is out of humor and so are the people
Something is wrong all the time, and
the wrong is with them. Their lot is
harder than falls to other mortals their
home is the worst of anybody's they
have more trouble than anybody else
they are never SO happy as when they
grumble and if everything worked to
their satisfaction, they would still
grumble because there was nothing for
them to grumble about. The grumbler
is a violator of Gods law, and a sinner
against the peace and harmony of soci-
ETY.. While we are perfectly willing the
grumbler should go to heaven at death
everybody is heartily glad to get rid OF
him on earth. Don't torment yourselves
with borrowed troubles. Don't wait for
happiness. Go to work and make it.
Adopt the true philosophy of life, Take
things as they come. Look at the bright
side. If there is no bright side brush
up one Of the dark ones. Don't hang
down your heads or lips. Nothing so
bad but it might have been worse" 1t

world" Every cloud has a silver lin
ing" "The darkest hour of the night is

the habit of thinking how much there
is to cheer you, even when there may
be much to depress. Cultivate what is
warm and genial, not the cold and the
repulsive, the sullen and the morose.
Smile, and all nature will smile with
YOU the air will seem more balmy, the
sky more clear, the grass will have a

SENSE OF SMELL IN THE HORSE.

The horse will leave musty hay un-
touched in his bin, no matter however
hungry. He will not drink of water OBJ
iectionable to his questioning snifIs or
from bucket which some other odor
makes offensive, however thirsty. His
intelligent nostril will widen, culver,
and query over the dantiest bit offered
by the fairest of hands. A mare is never
satisfied by either sight or whinny that
her colt is really her own until she has
certified the fact by means of her nose.
Blind horses, as a rule, will gallop wildly
about a pasture without striking the sur
rounding fence. The sense of smell in
forms them of its proximity.
Others WILL when loosoned from the
stable, go directly TO the gate or bars
opening to their accustomed feeding
grounds; and when desiring to return,
after hours of careless wandering, will
distinguish the one outlet and patiently
await its opening. The odor Of that par
ticular part of the fence is their guide to
it. The horse in browsing, or while
gathering herbagc with his lip, is guided
in its choice of proper food entirely by
its nostrils. Blind horses do not make
mistakes in their diet In the temple of
Olympus bronze horse was exhibited, at
the sight of which six real horses expe-
rienced the most violent emotions. Hlian
judiciously observes that the most per-
feet art could not initiate nature suffi-
ciently well to produce so perfect an illu-
sion. Like Pliny and Pausanias, he con-
sequently affirms that Sin casting the
statue a magician had thrown hippomancs
upon it, which, by the odor of the
plant, deceived the horses, and therein
we have the secret of the miracle The
scent alone of buffalo robe will cause
many horses to evince lively terror, and
the floating scent of a railroad train will
frighten some long after the locomotive
is out of sight and hearing. Horse and
Stable.

KICKING COWS.

Cows acquire the habit of kicking and
stepping about while the milking is per-
formed, on account of timidity or pain /;
and this habit becomes chronic by rough
and brutal treatment. Milking the COW
Is in measure surgical operation, and
during the process if she cannot OF will
not be reasonably quiet, she should be
confined by some restraint other than
human muscle, for the cows strength is
the greatest. The weaker party gets
angry, and rough treatment is the result
hence the necessity of some method of
conveniently restraining the cows within
the limit of human strength.
Cows sanctioned, and standing at a
"hoist" do not kick with the right foot,
which is the most Objectionable one for
kicking, but if she is bent on kicking,
she soon puts her right foot in advance
Of the other, which shifts her greatest
weight on the left foot, and then she is
ready for kicking. My plan is to COM
pei the COW to "hoist' and hold her
there. This is best done by placing heI
in the stanchion, and taking small rope
or strap, about eight feet long, with a
loop on one end; loop it around the left
hind leg, and drop it down just above
the dew claws, then pass it around the
stanchion one and a-half times, draw the
foot well forward and confne it there
This requires so little strength that there
is no cause for anger, even in the utmost
irritable person. Some cows give up at
once, while others struggle until they
become accustomed TO the restraint.
This mode of oonfining the COW is par.
ticularly valuable to young heifers, all
cows that step about while milking, and
ordinary kickers. Sometimes l find il
insufficient; in which case | place the
rope around OF above the hamstring joint
and over the top of the stanchion, draw.
| ing the foot nearly or quite off the floor.
If find this is insufficient, which is sci.
dom, l draw the left foot forward as first
| described, and then confne the Other
foot backward to a ring or post, and then
the COW is compelled to stand. Confn.
! ing the right foot backward is a much
( more muscular task than drawing the left
! foot forward and requires a stronger
I rope. l have never found it necessary
I 10 do more than contine the left foot for
ward, with all COWS l have raised, but
have bought unmanageable cows CHEAP
and compelled them to stand while being
MIXED. This method is quickly ap
piled, and holds the COW in the right pe.
'ition to milk.-AmerieaA AQrieHltWrist.

Northern Hemn Culture.

The subject of hemp culture is draw.
ing the serious attention of farmers in
the Northern States At present hemp
is chiefly grown in Kentucky, Missouri
and Tennessee, or on the rich bottom
lands. Recent occurrences in the jutC
bag trade have drawn attention to the
culture of our native product. Hemp
will make cord for binding grain quite
strong enough, and hempen bagging will
cover cotton bales as well rs that made
from iutc The culture of hemp and its
manufacture into bagging and twinc
will be double gain; we shall have the
material and have the money formerly
sent abroad for these materials. A few
years ago the Dutch farmers of Eastern
Pennsylvania grew the flax, which was
spun and woven by their wives and
daughters into grain bags, wagon covers
and domestic sheeting; and there are few
more thrifty people than these same
farmers. One of these coarse linen bags
was good for twenty-five years service
without repair, which is ten times that OF
the flimsy gunnY cloth and cotton bags
now in use. 1t is to be hoped that the
culture of hemp, and its manufacture,
may be largely increased.-Neto Horl

Cause of the Rebellion in Hayti

1t may be worth while for the sake Of
clearness to show briefly the cause of the
present revolution. In 1879 Solomon
became President of Hayti. He was a
man of strong will, unbounded energy
and of fine executive ability. He cor
rected reforms, reduced the debt, brought
the paper dollar to a par with gold, and
increased the revenue from 81 600, 900 to
Sc, 900, 600. Last year he was attacked
by malady (Which finally was the cause
of his death under the surgeons knife in
Paris) which was the signal for his enc
mics to conspire against him. Finally
the revolution was proclaimed in the
north, sympathetic rising occurred in
the capital city, and August 10, at night,
and, guarded by the sacred presence of
the diplomatic corps, he embarked upon
the British war vessel and fed. The
northern army, under its general, Selde
Telemaque, entered the city. Its object
attained, it was disbanded and its chief,
secure in his strength and popularity, re-
mained with few hundred of his choicest
troops. The progress of the elections for
the choice of the members of the con-
stituent assembly showed very clearly
that Telemaque would have the required
twot thirds majority. Death always affords
simple solution to such popularity in
Hayti, and that was meted out to Tele-
maque in the dead of the night of Sep
tember 2S, when he was shot in his own
house by unknown assassins.
Whether it was done by his consent or
not, Legitime has to bear the obloquy of
it. He became "Chief of the Executive
Power" On the day after Telemaque's
assassination, General Hippolyte, resign
ing his post as minister of agriculture and
police in the government, went to Cape
Haytien and proclaimed a revolution
against Legitime. Hippolyte disclaims
all personal ambition; declares that he
simply wishes the constitution carried
out, but Legitime must go and be replaced
by man whose hands are not stained
with blood.-Philadelphia Press.

The Greatest ponhle Boss Artlst.

Antonio Bottesini, the greatest artist
that ever played the double bass, ha,
just died in Parma, Italy. He was 60
years old, having been born in December,
1928 Between the acts of the opera he
occasionally performed solos upon the
double bass, which excited the greatest
enthusiasm. All that Paganini had ever
done upon the violin was repeated by
Bottesini upon his gigantic instrument
Every effort Of brilliancy, of delieacy and
of pathos was at his command, and after
two or three evenings he was recognized
as one of the greatest geniuses Of modern
musical art. This reputation was con-
firmed in London, where he Immediately
became fsvorite, and when he appeared
in Paris it was augmented. For time
he was the director of the orchestra at
the Italian opera in Paris, and subse-
quently became the manager of the
Italian opera in Cairo. He wrote several
operas, which were performed success
fully, though we believe none of them
ever crossed the ocean to this country.
Personally, Bottesini was tall, graceful
and interesting, and in private life the
friendship of those who knew him best
was as cordial and as lasting as the ad-
miration of the public for the artist
Musical Courier.
