TIE question Of Incorporating the
town of Dickinson is being agitated.
There are some advantages in incor-
poration, yet the disadvantages are so
numerous that most of the property
owners and business men who are
deeply interested in the contin-
ued prosperity of the town oppose
the scheme. With but few eXcep-
tions the advocates of Incorporation
are men who do not own a foot of
real estate in the town and whose
names do not even appear OIL the tax
list. Of course, according to the laws
of this free country they have the
right to say to the poor mar whose
frugality has given him a comforta-
bic little home: you shall be taxed
$50 to build a plank walk in front of
your property for me to walk upon
and save the polish of my shoes dur
ing a few days in the spring; l pay no
taxes, but you must. Incorporation
is a glorious thing-for the non.tax
payer.
They claim we can have walks all
over town, a system of sewerage,
water works, a fire department, city
marshal with brass buttons, an arte-
sian well, a city attorney, a dog pelt.
er and a hog catcher and our city
fathers can have patronage to bestow
and it will all be SO nice when done
at the expense of the business men
and property owners. incorporation
comes high but taxes a be assessed
against every home and piece of prop
erty to meet the expense. Bismarck
enjoys the luxury and is so far in
debt that her bonds and warrants are
at a great discount. Mandan enjoys
the luxury and her citizens are nov
preparing to sink her financially 10y
boring a hole in the ground. Steele
is another town that enjoys the fruit
of Incorporation. She is bonded TO:
$4,000, her warrants have no marke
value and interest is past due on he:

been taxed to death to keep up tn

That flowers sleep is evident to the
most casual observer. The daisy opens
at sunrise and closes at sunset, hence
its name-''day's eye" The morning
glory opens with the day, but never
lives to see another sunrise. The

o'clock in tho morning, but closes its
eyes during the middle of the day;
the dandelion is in full bloom only
during strong light. This habit Of
some flowers is certainly very curious,
and furnishes one of the many in
stances which prove1he singular adap-
liability of everything ia nature. The
reason is found in the method by
which this class of flowers is fortified.
1t is obvious that flowers fortified by
night flying insects would derive no
advantage by being open during the
day; and, on the other hand, that
those which are fortified by bees
would gain nothing by remaining
open at night. Why may we not sup
pose, then, that the clusiug of flowers
may have reference to tia habits of in
sectsi In support Of this theory we
observe that wind fertilized flowers
never sleep.-St. Louis Ecpublic.

Out unDeauu-

evolution froEs that C--ve Dut unoeauu-
ful syle OF dress.
1t Is aver less akin Il the trousers of
the Turkish woman. They are her out
ward and distinctive raiment. The
bloomer was their next OF kin. and
ashamed of the connection, which 1t
sought to hide with the skirt of compro-
mise. In form the divided skirt is more
like the Chinese woman's trousers than
it is like any other piece OF feminine ap-
parel, barbarous or civilized. But even
here the resemblance is very remote.
Celestial trousers are long and Tapping
and ugly, and take the place Of the civil
lied woman's dress. The divided skirt
is shorter, makes no display OF itself,
confines itself to its original purpose of
supplanting the underskirt, and makes
no overt attacks upon the outside dress.
Therein lies the difference between the
American divided skirt and the feminine
trousers OF the Chinese or any other ma
ton. 1t is simply a shy little underskirt
that wouldn't attempt to he anything
else for the world, and which wishes to
be kept we'll covered by a gown OF or
thodox length.
The truth Is, the divided skirt is like
no other article Of raiment known to the
feminine half of the world. II is a pro-
duct of the bifurcating tendency OF evo-
lution-that tendency which split chop
sticks into two tined forks, divided single
pronged hair skewers into two pronged
h~airpins, changed the toga Of the Ro-
mans into tho modern trousers, and, per-
haps-who can say?-gnve mankind two
legs instead of one.
That same birfurcating tendency has
beer at work upon woman's apparel this
many a day. Time was, aud not so very
long ago, when each article OF her raj
ment would have answered fairly well
to the Turkish woman's description Of
Lady Monatgue's drcss-trousers with
one leg. And now there Is let, at least
among that large section Of womankind
that has adopted the divided skirt and
its concomitants. but one single article,
the outside gown, that is safe from the
attacks Of division and still keeps its
