Seventeen Years of Wet Weather.

A correspondent spent a short time
among the Two Kettle tribe Of Iuuiau
farmers up Bad river, west of Fort Pierre.
These Indians, like oil others, are averse
to work, but they have good crops though
a small acreage. They claim to have raised
good corn. wheat, oats, ETC., there for the
last twenty years. They prophecy seven
teen years of wet weather, and back up
their belief by removing some of them
their Lighthouses back to high ground.
They are very friendly to the whites, and
glad the reservation is opened.

DOINGS In SOUTH DAKOTA.
Weather Crop Bulletin.

Reports received by S. w. Glenn, of the
United States signal Office, from eighteen
counties in North Dakota and thirty-six
counties in South Dakota, relative to grow
ing crops, enables him to present the fol-
lowing summary of the crop outlook in the
two states this late: Excepting in a few
localities. the weather conditions during
the week have been very favorable to grow
ing crops. Rain, in some counties excess
sive, have occurred over nearly all districts,
and there appears to be, OF the
general average, ample moisture
for present needs. Edmunds,
Brule. Aurora and Buffalo counties, how
ever, report rain needed in some portions
very much. Some damage has resulted
from heavy rains and hail in Potter county
and hail in Grant county. Some COM
plant is made of corn being weedy.
While the cut-worm is still working iu
corn and flax to some extent, it is on the
decrease and gradually disappearing. In
some localities on insect is injuring flax by
working on the root. On general average
the crops are in good condition and pro-
gross satisfactory. Reports indicate that
barley is exceptionally fine, likewise corn"

The Fuel Question.

e The question of supplying South Dakota
people with the cheap coal of North
Dakota is receiving a great deal of consid-
Grafton. The plan is to ship the coal
down the Missouri in barges to Pierre,
Chamberlain and Yankton, and then send
it by rail to the different towns in the
state. Careful estimates by those inter-
ested give the cost Of the coal laid down
in either of the towns mentioned at about
So per ton. Should this be accom-
plished this season it will be a God-send
to the farmers of the eastern part of the
state the coming winter-for the great OBJ
lection to eastern South Dakota is the
%ruinous price of fuel. The building of
railroads into the Black Hills will. Of
course, cut down the price of fuel at
east half to eastern South Dakota, for
there also, as we'll as at different points on
the coded lands, coal of a superior quality
and in unlimited quantities is positively
known to exist.

The June Bug Rampant.

The bug is very useful insect, but
how Objectionable it can make itself on
occasions was shown by an incident
which occurred one night on the Central
railroad of New Jersey. The milk train
was carrying two passenger coaches be-
hiLd the milk cars, and as the night
was warm the half dozen passengers
aboard had the windows all raised.
The train had been standing on side
track few minutes when a swarm of
large June bugs, attracted by the car
lights, few in through the windows.
In five minutes the seats were nearly
covered with the bugs, and they began
to crawl around the legs of the passen-
gers and to prove otherwise unpleasantly
of1cious. In five minutes the insects
had possession Of the two cars and the
passengers turned ont. The problem
which now presented itself was how to
get the pests out of the cars before the
train started. A fire was suggested.
and while the passengers gathered
brushwood and kindled roaring blaze,
one of the brakemen went into the cars
and put the, lights out. The ruse was
successful, the bugs deserted the cars
and the passengers went back, shut
down the windows and sat in darkness
until the train started.-New York Com

Reyerenaa Tow rzaacars.

The fact is thas there is altogether too
much reverence for yascals and for ras-
cally methods On the part of .olerably
decent people. Rascal!ty is picturesque,
doubtless, and In 6c4ion It has even its
moral uses; but In real life it should
have no liberation, and Is Is, as matter
OF fact, seldom accompanied by the abil-
ity that it brags-
One proof that the smart rogue is not
so smart as he thinks and as others
think is that he SO often comes to grief.
He arrives at his successes through his
knowledge of the evil in men: he comes
to grief through his ignorance of the
good in men. BE thinks he knows 'hu-
man nature" but he only half knows it.
Therefore he is constantly in danger of
making fatal mistake. For instance.
his excuse to himself for lying and trick
cry is that lying and trickery are in
dulged in by others-even by some men
who make loud boast of virtue before
the world.
A little more or less of lying and trick
cry seems to make no difference, he as
sumes- especially so long as there is nc
public display of lies and tricks-for he
understands that there must always be a
certain outward propriety in order to in
sure even the inferor kind of success he
is aiming at.
But having no disable conscience to
guide him he undertakes the sensitive
ness of other consciences-and, especially
the sensitiveness of thatvague sentiment
called public opinion" and he makes a
miscalculation, which, if it does not land
him in the penitentisry. at least makes
him of no use to his respectable allies;
therefore of no use to his semi criminal
associates; therefore surprised, miser.

The Good Old Times.

Under Henry coiners of false money
were punished by the loss of their right
hands, and other mu.S;lations of various
kinds were in common use. In 1850 we
hear of heretics who had refused to alb.
jure their faith being handed over to the
church by the civil authorities to be
branded with hot iron on the forehead
have their clothes torn off from the waist
up and be whipped through the public
streets. Boycotting was at that time 6
legal practice, whatever it may be now
for the said heretics were not only for
hidden to worship as they desired, but
forbidden to enter the houses of ortho
dox believers, or even to purchase the
necessaries of life.
The popular notion of the crusaders al
an army of Bayards, "sans peur ct sans
reproche," is hardly consistent with tn,
code of criminal law which Richard
Cpur de Lion enacted for the especia
benefit of those with whom he set out
for holy Palestine. If any one of then
were convicted of theft boiling pitch
was to be poured over his head, then a
pillow full of feathers shaken over him
and he was to be abandoned at the first
port the vessel touched. Whoever killed
another on board ship was to be tied to
the corpse and cast into the sea; whoever
killed another on shore was to be tied to
the corpse and buried with 1t. A blow
was to be punished by three duckings in
the sea, and the use of the knife in q
quarrel caused the aggressor to lose one
of his hands.-All the Year Round.
