Cushions Made of Paper.

During the Franco-German war the
ladies in England were busy making
paper cushions which they sent to
France to be used for the wounded in
the hospitals. Hundreds of thousands
of these cushions were sent and were OF
great service. Now all England is crazy
on the subject of paper pillows again.
They tear the paper into very small
pieces, not bigger than ones finger nail,
and then put them into pillow-sack of
drilling or light ticking. They are very
cool for hot climates and much superior
to feather pillows. The newspapers are
printing appeals for them in hospitals.
Newspaper is not nice to use, as there
is disageeeable odor from printers
ink; but brown or white paper and old
letters and envelopes are the best. AS
they are torn, stuff them into an old
pillow-casc, and you can see when you
have enough. The easiest way is to
tear or cut the paper in strips about
half an inch wide, and then tear or cut
it across. The finer it is, the lighter it
makes the pillows.-N. Y. Mail and Ex'
press.

SOUAWS AS FARMERS.
How the Indians of the West Used to Raise,
Their Corn Crop.

A prominent business man of this city
whowent with his father in 1857 to Potta-
wattamie County, Ia. then the extreme
western limit of civilization, and who.
lived there several years ut the most
observing age, and who is now approach
ing fifty, tells how their Indian neigh
bors cultivated their corn.
There were plenty of Indians there
and then all the work was of course done
by squaws. At the proper time the
squaws went to the corntield, which had
been cleaned and cultivated from time
immemorial, and prepared the ground
with ''nigger hoes" those heavy, strik-
ing hoes with a pole or socket for the
handle, in which they had inserted
handle not over three feet in length,
requiring the squaw to stoop or squat as
she worked. With this implement they
dug round holes about three feet in
diameter and about three feet deep, then
passing the eXcavated earth through
their hands, rubbing and crushing it as
fine as -four, it was returned to the pit,
more than filling it, the excess being
rounded into a hill or mound, in which
the seed corn was carefully planted and
tended till it was big enough to take
care of itself.
The Indians then left the camp and
went away for their annual hunt, leav-
ing only few of the old and decrepit
who were unable to make the journey,
and for whose support in the absence of
the tribe no provision whatever was
made, not even so much as tepee was
left them. The old and decrepit had to
make shelter of bushes and bark and
provide for themselves.
The tribe went long distance away
and were gone till the corn came into
the milk and was fit to roast and eat
period they seemed to know by intuition,
for they never failed to return the first
day it was fit to eat. These pits were
always dug in the same places, the sur
rounding ground being left untouched.
The crop never failed to be good one,
though no enrichment of the soil was at
tempted. When the Indian left and the
white man took the ground he found the
old Indian corn-felds the best and most
productive land
There was one exception to the rule
that the squaw did all the work. 1t was
in chopping trees. The noble warrior
| took his axe and cut kerfs on opposite
| sides of the tree he intended to fell. lie,
| never cut so it would fall at once. but
let the winds complete his work.-Chi'
cago Tribune.

HAPPIER DAYS.

l said to the little children,

And their bright eyes opened wider
In innocent amaze.

They did not know il then;
o, no, they said, therell be happier days
When we are women and men.

You are living your happiest days,
And into their sparkling eyes there crept
A dreamy, far-of gaze;
And their hands sought one another,
And their cheeks flushed rosy red =.
o, no, they said, there'll be happier days
For us when we are wed.
] said to the man and woman,
You are living your happiest days,
AS they laughingly watched together
Their baby's cunning ways.
These days are days OF labor,
They can hardly be our best;
There be happier days when the childr0n''

And we have earned our rest.
l said TO the aged couple,
You are living your happiest days;
Your children do you honor
You have won success and praise.
With peaceful look they answered,
God is good to us, that's true;
But we think there's happier days for US
In the life we're going to.

NEATNESS WINS A MAN.
"Madge" Has just Heard of Pleasant Ir
stance of the Kind.

Dearest Amy: 4 man we know has

lures had been exhausted | remarked
that as is usual in such cases. the con-
tracing parties were the very last we
should have imagined likely to single
each other out from the rest of the world

friend observed that the first thing that
had attracted him to the girl was her
exquisite neatness. Now, Amy. l had
always been under the impression that
neatness, like cleverness and a love of
plain sewing. was one of those respecta-
BILE qualities that are excellent for max
ing cages after marriage. but not of the
smallest use in the manufacture of nets
in which to secure ones prey before
hand. You see, was wrong, or else
this case is exceptional.
Our friend proceeded to say that he
was sick and tired of untidy girls. with
nothing dainty about them, and no
white lace, or linen or tape, or whatever
it is called, round the necks of their
dresses. "Iape!" Dead tired of girls
whose gowns dipped into the mud or
dust of the street at every step. Sick of
girls with loose bags in the front of
their bodices, which always reminded
him of pelicans. Weary OF girls with no
neatness of finish either to themselves
or their sleeves, and with hair like hay
stacks. Even if all wrists were white as
snow, and rounded to perfection, he
said, he could not admire them if they
emerged from sleeves that ended in
hard bands of stuff with no relief from
the color of the gown itself.
Inever thought that men noticed these
little things much, but suppose they
do The lady of his choice is certainly
one of the neatest of human beings.
Some people are born neat; others
achieve neatness. Lucy belongs to the

glossiest brown folds, with little baby

she manages to keep her hair so beauti-
fully, and she always laughs and says,

but she is not otherwise pretty. We
often call her Jane Eyre, because she
makes us think of Charlotte Bronte's
heroine. l do not know what Jane wore
around her neck, but l am sure that,
whatever the arrangement was, it was
neat almost to primness. Lucy's collars

ALTAR OF ROSES,
1t Takes a Thousand Trees to Furnish Tw
Ounces of Essence.

Rose-water is extensively made in
India. At Ghazipore, in Bengal, there
are hundreds of acres laid out for the
purpose. The harvest is in March and
April, and the result of the distillation
is to supply about one quart of rose
water from each thousand of the blooms
but adulteration is very much resorted
to, oil of sandal-wood being the medium
and the people of India do not seem tc
mind much whether they get the odol
of the rose or the sandal for their money
1t is comparatively cheap where it is
made, costing two or three shillings q
quart, even when unadulterated.
Otto or altar of roses is much more
important and expensive. The origin o.
this condensed perfume is told in one Of
the romantic stories of the East. 1t is
said that Noorjehan Begun, the favorite
wife of Jehan-Geer, was walking in hol
garden, through which ran stream o.
rose water, when she noticed some oily
particles floating on the surface. She
had them skinned off; and their aroma
was found to be so delicious, that mean!

PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 3.-A great sem
sation was caused to-day by the an
nouncement that W. 81. Kephart. re-
porter for the Daily Free Press, had
gone across the river to Fort Pierre
with Fred Pettigrew, resident
there, and brother Of United States
Senator Pettigrew, and had been
arrested by order of the colonel COM
manding the troops there and escorted
back to this side by detachment of
soldiers. Col. Tassin, commanding the
troops at Fort Pierre, has also issued
public notice. warning reporters or
representatives of newspapers against
crossing the Missouri river or trespass-
threat that if they disobey they will be
arrested and put in the guard
house. Recently Col. Tassin published
a communication in the daily papers
of this city stating that work upon
public Improvements of every nature
on the "mile square" had been stopped,
and no new settlers would be allowed
to go OH the reservation, but that those
already there would not be mOlested.
1t was discovered, however, that certain
Fort Pierre men, who seemed to stand
in with the troops, were going ahead
with improvements. building houses on
the best lots on the townsite for the
purpose of holding them contrarytO law.
1t is alleged that certain army officers
have received bonus of valuable prop
erty to wink at this infraction of their
orders. The newspapers of this city ex-
posed the scheme. This led to the ar
rest of Kephart and the issuance of
the warning to other newspaper men.

Special to the Globe
BISMARCK, n. D., Feb. 3.-The rail-
roads and elevator companies are now
receiving the attention of the legisla-
ture, and the great fight of the session
will soon be precipitated between these
corporations and the members of the
Legislature who have extreme granger
views. The fight is particularly bitter
on the elevator companies, as European
syndicates desirous of purchasing North
Dakota wheat are efdeavoring to have
such laws enacted as will prevent dis
elimination on the part of the railroad
companies in furnishing cars for the
shipment of grain. A bill passed the
house to-day fixing the rate of storage
at cent per bushel for the first thirty
days. and II cents per bushel for each
additional fifteen days, This was fought
by number of members who claimed
that it would close all the elevators in
the state. TO this Messrs. Walsh and
Stevens replied that if it closed the
elevators it would be a good thing for
the state, as then there would be an
open wheat market. A bill was intro
duced in the senate allowing foreign
lottery companies to do business in the
state provided the company shall pay
into the state treasury the sum of
100000 the first year and S75,OOO per
annum thereafter for twenty-five years,
and Sl50.000 per annum for the second
twenty-five years. The contract with
the state may be terminated by the cor
poration at the end of twenty years, pro-
vided it shall give one years. notice to
the state and pay forfeit of $1,000.
This is looked upon as a visionary
scheme to raise money for the state, and
there is some doubt of its passing.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. 3.-A

Rev. j. A. Wakefield, of Aurora,

that gentleman has prepared list of

ference is to talk over the combination
formed by Gov. Mellette to defeat Sena-
tor Moody in his candidacy for re-
election. The governor is reported to
be working the alliance for all he Is
worth, and every step he has
taken since his return from Washing
ton has been with the Idea of currying
favor with the farmers. Senator PETIT
grew stated to your correspondent that
he considered Gov. Mellette's recent
begging trip for seed wheat as ill

part of that gentleman. The harm
he has done the state by asserting that
settlers in nineteen counties are in a

HELENA, Mont, Feb. 3.-There is a
pressing need for funds in the various
state departments. and, with two houses
still in existence, there is much conjec-
ture as to which of them Gov. Toole
will recognize in case they both pass an
appropriation bill. The governor was
asked to-day for his opinion as to the eff
feet of the supreme court decision in the
Thompson mandamus case, and replied:
II have carefully read the decision of the
supreme court IN the Thompson case.
l was called upon at the beginning of
this session to interpret the law prOvid-
ing for the issuance of certificates of
election to members of the legislature.
1t is well known that l entertained a
different view from that announced by
the supreme court in the Thompson
case. That decision has not convinced
me that i was wrong, but the opinion
handed down is decision of the su-
preme court of this state. 1t is the de-
cision of the highest judicial tribunal III
the state. composed of judges whose
election was so pronounced as not to be
affected by the now famous Precinct
"a. Whatever may think personally,
officially I shall not resist it. By the
constitution these gentlemen are given
the right to pass upon the question.
They have decided that certificate
emanating from the state canvassing
board is prima facie evidence that the
person receiving the same was elected,
and it follows that such person is

court seems to have fallen, was in TAX
ing as confessed the statement that
Thompson possessed certificate of
election from the state canvassing
board. l challenge the production of
such certificate by any person. No GER
tificate based upon the result declared
by that board, purporting to be the act
of or emanating from such board. or
majority thereof, was ever issued. On
the eontrary,it recites: II, Benjamin
F. White. governor of the territory of
Montana, do hereby certify, etc, and
which certificate IS countersigned by L..
A. Walker, secretary of Montana,
which latter signature under the stat
ute and authorities is merely an authen-
tication of the genuineness of the gov
ernor's signature, without vOuching for
the truth of the facts stated therein.
