The JuSucr Industry.

Within two years tho jasper Industry
has been developed, and there are now
four quarries. employing nearly 1000
men, in operation about Sioux Falls.
The market extends from Chicago to
Kansas City. Sioux Falls streets are
paved with jasper, and her four story
buildings are constructed of it. The
stone is susceptible of a high degree of
polish, and when finished looks much like
tho red granitcof Missouri. Tho pioneer
in the jasper industry discovered not long
ago that tho dust Of the jasper, which
is half as hard us diamonds, would
polish the famous petritied wood Of Ari-
IONA, and make of it table tops and or
nllncnts more beautiful than agate or
onyx. The pctrilied wood is now brought
from Arizona to Sioux Falls by the car
load, and polished in q variety of forms.
To the1asper industry, the city has added
the manufacture of chalccdony. There
is a scientific mystery about this SO called
jasper. Practically 1t is all right. Its
utility has been established, but gcologi-
cally there is no littlo uncertainty about
it. Those who know tho most are the
lerst positive in discussing it's character.
Some of tho scientific men who have
looked at it call it red quartzitc. Pro-
fcssor Winchell says it is the hardest
stone in the United States that has been
used for building purposes. Tho grain
is very close. The only element to which
it succumbs is fire. 1t will stand a good
degree, but crulnAcs like sandstone or
limestone under too intense heat.-Ncw

Seen in n Dream.

In 1868, Lizzie NJ. Trask, of Vienna,
Me-, was dressmaking in Lewiston. She
came into possession of a gold twenty-five
cent piece with hole in it. This she
showed as curiosity to her friends. At
that time she had little niece years
old, daughter of Jonathan P. Trask, now
the wife of Leman Butler, trader in Mt.
Vernon. The little coin Lizzie once
showed to her niece Addie when she was
very small girl, telling her that she
would give it to her when she was old
enough to take care Of it. Lizzie died
twelve years ago. In her possession was
lady's wallet with several compart-
ments. This wallet her mother used until
her death, seven years ago.
Then James, brother Of Lizzie, had
it, and it has been in constant use almost
daily ever since, either by him or his
wife, The little gold coin was never seen
after l-izzie's death or before for several
years by her friends, and its whereabouts
was not known, and, in fact, itsexistence
had passed from their memory. A few
days aso>lrs. Butler made her parents
visit, stopping with them several nights.
While there she dreamed that she saw
her Aunt Lizzie's wallet, and that it was
faced with green, and in certain COM
partment she found the little gold coin
which she saw so many years ago. On
telling her mother her dream she was In.
formed that Lizzie did have wallet
which answered her description, and
that her Uncle James had it. Tho wallet
Addie had never seen. She then visited
her uncle and told her dream to her
aunt, who laughed at tho idea of any
thing being in it other than what she
and her husband had placed there. But
at Adde'S earnest solicitation she pro.
duced it, and rs soon as Addie saw it she
exclaimed: "That is the same wallet
that saw in my drcaml' and pointed
out the compartment that held the treas
ure. She then took needle, and, run
ming it to the bottom, she drew forth n
newspaper, and In it was, indeed, a gold
quarter with hole in it, wrapped, no
doubt, by tho hand of her aunt at least
twelve years before, where it had lain
all this time, without tho knowledge of
any one, until Adde'S dream caused it
tobe brought forth. (Me Age.

Why He Went Out.

A good housewife at the Highlands
wished to surprise her husband by Civ
ing him some of particular kind of
cake of which he was very fond. She
took great pains with the mixture, meas
uring out each ingredient with the ut
most care, for she was determined to
produce tho best loaf she ever made
When the good man came In to tea and
saw tho handsome loaf, his heart went
out towards his wifo In renewed affec-
ton. Tho cake was finally cut, but the
first mouthful he took made him look
puzzled, and soon he left tho table. The
wife was curious to know why he went
out, and noticing that he had left his
cake almost untasted she broke off a
little piece and put it in her mouth.
Horrors! cayenne pepper! where did
get that!' and she made n bolt for the
kitchen. Going into the pantry she
looked at the box where she got her Gin
n;lmon to put In tho cake. There stood
the box, but the word Pepper" was 80
big that there was no mistaking the con-
tents. She says the next time she makes
u loaf of cake she will taste Of everything
before she puts it in, and her husband
says he doesn't know but she'd better

The Cnl,auDy Car,

The position of the car is not an envi-
able one. With England, Germany,
Austria, Italy, Turkey and possibly
Spain on the outside and the Nihilists
inside, he is certainly not to be envied.
His status is similar to that of the flying
fish which is pursued in the water by
rapacious delegates Of the finny tribe,
and i: liable to DC captured by sea birds
if it attempts to fly. The car gets the
largest salary of any ruler in the uni
verse, but he is entitled to every cent of

What uus uappeued in June.

Historically considered, June is for
Great Britain perhaps the most famous
month in tho year. 1t is the month of
Bannockburn, Naseby and Waterloo
all Of them battles Of liberation and for
the extension and establishment Of free
dom. In other respects June figures
handsomely in the calendar. 1t was in
June that Magma Charta was sealed; and
it is the birth month, among others, of
DIR. Arnold, of Rugby; Charles Kingsley,
w. II. Smith, Lord DuGerin, Lord
Wolseley and Mr.. Spurgeon. June is
generally also famous for its deaths,
among them being those of Mohammed,
Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet;
White, Of Shelbournc, and Garibaldi. 1t
has been remarked that the natal is also
the fatal month of certain percentage
Of distinguished men, and we observe
that DR.. Arnold died in June. One of
the most notable of modern June events
fs the coronation of Queen Victoria,
which took place in 1888, just about
fifty-onc years ago. But undoubtedly
the two big events Of June are Waterloo
and Bannockburn, the latter being TO
ScOtchmen the greater OF the two.-

A party Of Harvard students was ar
rested in Boston six times and taken to
the police station on 9 recent evening,
and enjoyed it hugely. They bought

waking the echoes with college songs.
It was not long before they met po-
iceman, who asked where they were
going with that pole. ooh, that's our
business" the students replied, and
started on. Of course the policeman
arrested them, and when he had landed
them in the police station and explain
ed charges they showed receipt for
the BARRIERS pole and We're released.

with them? How are they to be fed?
1t is SO serious question, and it may
at any time become so pressing, that
there is no suggestion which promises
solution, however desperate, that it
will not be eagerly discussed. No
considerations of morality or of preju-
dice are likely to stand in the way Of
the adoption Of any scheme that offers
the nation a way of escape from the
impending catastrophe. Already the
doctrine of postponing marriage-a
doctrine which is infinitely more nox-
ious from the point of view of practical
ethics than the limitation OF families
has many disciples.

The ..Tanne Cat,, liirI.

The reproach aimed by the Ameri-
cans at the English girl, viz, that she
is OF the "tame cat" order and that her
husband will trust her with his bills or
the darning of his socks, but not with
his ideas, is as great misconception,
in many respects, as the English esti-
mate of American women, but from the
the American point of view it has some
foundation in fact. We need only look
at the life OF the ordinary Englishman
to discover the foundation upon which
this exaggerated inference is based. He
always retains q tenderness for his
club, where he can ventilate among his
fellow-men his ideas political. moral
and social. to which, it is quite true,
be does not, as rule, treat his wife.
II he has male friend he can pass
hours upon hours in his company with
out being bored, which, unfortunately,
does not always happen in the case of
his wife, and the very fact women are
the first to declare that no wife wants
her husband always with her, is a
proof. more or less, of q certain incom-
patibility of temperament and thought.
Probably it is on this and kindred
grounds that the American forms her
opinion of the average English girl,
and, until she gains more experience of
English habits, imagines herself strict
ly correct. On the other hand, for q
fair and impartial opinion of the Amer
lean girl one must apply rather to an
Englishman than to an Englishwoman,
for he is more on q level with her in
thought and more in touch with her in
idea. It is no secret that the ;1npreju-
diced, educated Englishman is gem
cral favorite with American women.
Ii he has particle Of discernment he
very soon discovers that American
freedom is by no means synonym for
license, and when he has fully assi1ni-
lated that idea he finds his relations
with the mice" American girl most
charming and cordial and fascinating.
But in the matter of propriety and be-
havior he finds that she is inexorable,
and that SO far from being permitted
more license Of speech or action he in
reality enjoys less.-National Revie1v.

demonstrated that Kansas possesses a
bed OF purest rock salt 300 miles long.
25 miles wide and 400 feet thick.

Of economically making sugar from
sorghum was finally wrested by Kan
sas experimenters from reluctant ma
ture. No other state in the union has
SO much Of the soil and possesses so

can produce it for about two cents q
