washington Springs Seminary.

The fall term of this school begins
Sept. 10th, 1890.
In response to an expressed wish OF
the patrons and students OF the school
two new courses of study have been
added to the currlculum. The English
course. A three years course in Math-
ematics, Sciences, History, Literature,
and Ethics. The Normal Course. A
two years course in Methods and such
studies as are necessary to secure a
First Grade certificate in South Dako-
ia. 1t is hoped that, when the new
school law shall have been enacted,
for our new state, the graduates of this
course will be entitled to Normal Ger
titicates under its provisions. We
hope to do better work than in the
past. We confidently expect to be pre-
pared to give thorough instructions in
Vocal as we'll as instrumental music
The best of instructions in Drawing
will be given to those desiring it.
! Miss X. NJ. Burg our assistant fol
two years past, is to return. We have
heen so fortunate as to secure the ser
vices of Clark w. Shay of Coin, Page
county, Iowa. Mr.. Shay IS graduate
of "The University of Rochester," sit
uated at Rochester, NY.
Those who design making applica
tion at the beginning of the fall tern

THE MINOR KEY IN MUSIC.

Woman's Journal: The event of the
week, which has brought visitors to
this city (Boston) from the East and
the West, was the coming of the
"Grand Army" whose procession, six
miles long, was greeted with cheer
after cheer through the whole length
of theroute. The State House and the
streets were gay with bunting, the air
was full of drum-beats, and all hearts
were aglow with patriotic feelings.
But neither the tramp of marching
veterans, nor the shouts that welcomed
them. nor the sound of martial music,
could deaden the pain in the hearts of
some women, or make them forget the
fact that the law rates all women at
the same political value at which 1t
rates the criminals who last week
were rioting in the Massachusetts,
State prison; and that, when these
rioters come out of prison, they will
be the political superiors of Clara Bar
ton. Mrs. Logan, and all the women Of
the National Relief Corps.

The artesian well and canal systems of
irrigation were discussed and samples
of irrigated grain from Huron, Hitch

memorial to Congress was framed
and adopted asking for $4,000 for
artesian irrigation. Great enthusiasm
prevailed all through the meeting and

lara Barton's Appeal to the Veterans

Everybody knows something about
Clara Barton and her marvellous devo-
ton tohumanltarian work. With nei-
ther pay nor commission she served the
union soldiers throughout the war as
no other woman did. On the field in
the camp and hospital her name was
an inspiration, comfort and a hope.
1t is not to be doubted that that single
frail woman was worth more to the
union cause than even companies Of
valiant soldiers. All know of heI
work at ADdersonville at the close ii
the war in identifying and marking
the graves of the union dead. Shedid
splendid work in the Franco German
war and was there brought into con.
tact with the Red Cross society. Wher-
ever great calamites have since occur.
red, as fires, cyclones, earthquakes OF
mighty floods, there, the first on thu
ground has been Clara Barton and bel
Red Cross sisterhood. AS one has
well said, "The life of this plain, simple
unpretentious and self-sacrifcing wo.
man is one of the grandest monuments
to charity and merciful kindness the
world has witnessed"
Charles Sumner once wrote of Clara
Barton: "She has the talent of a states
man, the command of general, ant
the heart and hand of woman"
When invaded from her long labor!
during the war, this noble toiler fol
the needy and suffering wrote from
Geneva. Switzerland, as follows:
ITO the returned soldiers of til,
United States: When you were veal
and was strong toiled for you. Nov
you are strong and l am weak. Be
cause of my work for you, I ask you
aid. 1 ask the ballot for myself ant
my sex. AS l stood by you, l pray yol
stand by me and mine.

Authors and Poor Writing.

wonder if authors have any idea of
the decided advantage it is to manu-
script to have it clearly written or by the
typewriter? Again and again have 1 had
manuscript lying on my table for a
month or two, putting off its reading
from day to day because of the poor
writing. If authors had any conception
of the value of clean manuscript to edi-
tors, they would be far more careful how
they send their wares to the editorial
office than they are.
Take this manuscript, for example; the
authors name is guarantee that there is
something good in it. Yet, look at that
chirography. dread taking it up. 1t is
positive torture, am patient with her,
because I feel personal interest in her
literary welfare. Yet l know of two posi-
tive instances where her manuscripts
have been returned by editors who ac-
knowledged to me afterward that they
had not read them. Now, that woman
is inficting injury upon herself. 1 tell
you, there is nothing which makes me
more prejudiced against a manuscript
than illegible writing.-Interview in New

Delicacy of Pianos.

The other day saw piano that had
been returned from a city nearly 800
miles away because something ratified
in it," and the dealer, who had spent
three days in trying to find the cause of
the difficulty-fnally attributing it to a
defect in the sounding board-returned
it. Now there was nothing wrong about
the sounding board, and the piano was
in good condition, but had been hurried
ly shipped, and screw in the swing
desk attachment was not firmly imbed-
ded. This caused the rattle.
Now it is just this kind of a trivial
oversight that causes more than 80 per
cent. of the trouble known as rattling.
remember about two months ago in a
place in Baltimore an upright piano had
to be taken back and taken apart and a
day spent over it to stop such a disturb
ance, which was caused by nothing more
than small piece of shaving about a
quarter of an inch long that got in under
the pressure bar. 1t could not be seen
and to find it cost lot of money. .-Musi-

One of the most effective is of white

reaches to the ground and is beautifully
hemstitched; the collar is broad one
cut in sailor fashion and thrown back
far enough to expose the neck very WELL
The sleeves are full and have deep cuffs,
and on the left side is a pocket in which
IS stuck white silk handkerchief with
monogram i'm mauve on it. The cuffs
are of mauve silk caught with white
sleeve links, and the collar is also of the
colored silk. soft white silk tie is
knotted in front in sailor fashion. The
haberdasher announces that this is per-
fumed SO thoroughly with violet that
even two or three visits to the cleaners
will not dispel the odor. A more femi-
nine looking robe de mutt is of pale rose
silk, with its collar and cuffs edged with
lace, and cravat of lawn and lace, such
as the gentlemen of the court of Louis
Quatorze wore. The height of folly, or
harmony, as you may choose to call it,
was reached by a-a-a something-I
should hate to call it a man-who
mourned deeply, in a material sense, for
an uncle who left him a pile of money.
His sleeping robes were of white silk,
with cuffs, collar and pocket of black

Un,ucky Thirteen.

From the fact of Christ's betrayal by
Judas the latter is supposed to have been
the original of the unlucky thirteenth
who brings disaster upon a feast. This
superstition is very general, and so strong
has it been in France in particular that in
Paris there existed years ago, and may
very possibly now, class of professional
diners out called Quatorziemes, whose
business it was to be always prepared
with dress suit handy for summons to
take the place of some recreant guests,
and thus prevent an assemblage of the
unlucky thirteen. In regard to the or
ganization of Thirteen Clubs" it may be
observed that this superstition has never
been considered to hold good except where
the number thirteen has occurred acci-
dentally. The absurdity, therefore, of
the formation of special clubs to meet on
the 18th, to dine at 13 tables or to do any
thing else with 13 in it, becomes at once
obvious. Such institutions do not fill the
bill.-New York Herald.

Flowers In Cairo.

The famous bouquetieres (women bou-
quet makers) of Paris begin their train
ing in the florists shops by the arrange
ment of bridal bouquets, and after that
they learn the mingling of colors. Paris
claims to be the home Of flowers. They
grow in the gardens of its surrounding
countryside-the orchids at Chatillon,
the roses at Montrouge or Fontenay, hy-
acinths at Boulogne and lilacs at Neuilly.
The mimosa, the tea rose and some of
the commoner flowers come from the
south in quantities. The costlier flow
ers are reared in Paris and its environs,
and as a rule, are bought and worn there.
The Parisienne must have flowers in her
box at the theatre, in her drawing room,
on the muff, in her hair, in the bodice of
her dress and in her attic window

A Remedy for Burns.

The celebrated German remedy for
burns consists of 10 ounces of the best
white glue broken into small pieces in
pints of water and allowed to become
soft. Then dissolve it by means of a
water bath and add ounces of glycerine
and drachms of carbolic acid; continue
the heat until thorously dissolved. On
cooling this hardens to ar elastic mass
covered with shining, parchment like
skin, and may be kept for any length of
time. When required for use it is placed
for few minutes in a'water bath until
sufficiently liquid and applied by means
of broad brush. 1t forms in about two
minutes shining, smooth. flexible and
nearly transparent skin.--New Orleans
