BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 13.-The attor-
ney general to-day rendered an opinion
to the effect that members of the legis-
lature cannot draw per diem for the
nineteen days OF the holiday recess.
This has caused general expression of
disgust in the legislative halls. and
among the numerous clerks and
officers. The attorney general
fOunds his opinion on what
he calls an unwritttn law to
the effect that there can be no recess for
which pay may be drawn longer than
three days. The opinion will place
manv of the members in an awkward
position, especially those senators who
voted in caucus TO give their S95 each

They must now go down in their pock-
cts for S95 more, or leave the needy

4 Furious sforn.
(Florence Enterprise )

This valley was visited by a furious storm of wind and rain last Sunday night. Heavy clouds rolled mp from the northeast during the early evening, brilliantly illuminated by an almost constant glare of lightning Shortly after nine o'clock the rain came down in torrents, accompanied by gale that threatened destruction to everything in its path For an hour and half the rain and wind continued and when they subsided the country was one vast sheet of water. The rain-gauge in Florence indicated the fall of ninety-fve hun dredth of an inch, but a much larger quantity fell upon the mesa south of town
 The sudden precipitation of so large body of water soon filled all the ar royos leading from the higher mesa lands, across which the Florence canal trayerses, and the banks of the canal were speedily overfowing with the water, causing several breaks between tine headgnte and the new reservoir.
 The new court house was the only building that suffered damage. Quite carly in the evening, just before the
  rain commenced to fall, the north wall of the court room gave away before the wind and fell with terrible crash in- side the building, carrying down the heavy floor joist and splintering them into kindlings. This was about sixty feet long by seventeen feet high, and was the continuation of the jail wall. It had been completed and lhe galvanized iron cornice was in place, and its de- molition caused great surprise that the force of the wind was so strong or the wall so woak. No other portion of the building suffered. The loss to the con tractors wiii approximate $500.
 During tlle dorm ]. H Arnett, who resides west of Main street at the south edge of town. received severe shock of lightning which passed down his left side from the shoulder to the heel leav- ing its mark upon him as painful re- hinder of it's power The shock stunned him for time, and when he rallied his Jeff leg was paralyzed for several hours. The bolt passed through him while he was pushing his wagon under cover. He fully recovered from its effects by the following morning.

POTATOES IN GERMANY.
How the Tubers Are i'Put Up'' and Dried

How tho Tubers Are "Put Up'' and Dried
 by Industrious Peasants.
 h the city of Offenburg stands mon. umept to Francis Drake, the English Admiral of Elizabeth's time, who is pop, ularly supposed by Germans to have in. troduced the potato from America into Europe. Consul Monaghan, at Man helm, writes about the potato in Ger many. Potatoes constitute one of tho staple products of every state in tho German Empire. The apple of the earth, as the French call it, gets tho name of ''the bread of the poor in Ger many. In many parts of the Empire, with milk, the potato constitutes tho chief article of sustenance. Germans refuse to take the potato out of the ground till potful boiled shows them to be mealy; and this they will only be when fully ripened. Some potatoes contain more starch than others. Hence an effort here to plant and produce only those kinds containing the largest amount of this nutritiye substance. Potatoes do not contain the largest amount of starch just when taken out of the earth, but some time afterward, usually in the month Of December. From the time of digging until December there is an in- crease in tue amount of starch. This remains goed during January after which decline i1 the amount sets in. The chemiss Stockhardt, has just proved scientifically what everyone with keen taste can prove for himself, viz: that an increase and decline or decrease in tho amount of starch in pota +oes takes place as above indicated.
 Here writes the Consul from Man heim to the State Department, potatoes are put up,' and dried: sometimes they are left longer in the earth where they grew, or in holes dug for the purpose and covered with loose layers of earth, sods, CT straw and manure, sometimes they arc packed in road sand (wagon dust, layer for layer of sand and pota- toes. This system is said to keep them very well 4 second method is one learned from OUT people-that of drying them-taking care to dry them when tho starch is strongest in them. American SHltH HDtitotS III IVH0Ou ~ tg Hi&EhS OE Sl0 a centner set Germans wild. They worked night and day experiment. ing until they learned the proc pss, after which wandering teachers vent from place to place giving the poor peasantry instructions how to do it The Germans express hope to be able to produce and dry 50 many potatoes that they will be absolutely independent of the outside world. l can not help ex- pressing an opinion--an opinion which l have often heard expressed here-that if our American sweet potatoes could be properly put and pushed upon the Ger man market, all we could supply would be bought at profitable prices. An eff. fort should be made. have heard peo- pie wonder hundred times whether they tsweet potatoes-dried onesl are to be obtained in Europe or not. Amer ican Dairyman.

Gar Terrified Forest
H7rom the Phnnix Gnzelte.

tFrom the Phoenix Gazette.
 Among the many remarkable freaks of nature to be found in Arizona, the pctriied forest is worthy of special mention. II is on Lithodendron creek, a tributary to the Little Colorado, and is but D few miles east of IJoibrook station Ari2onal, on the Atlantic < Pacific Railroad. Limbs and branches and entire trunks of trees petriiied into rock are scattered over the surface, covering an area of many miles. One has been discovered that measured more than twelve feet at the base. Many fossil ferns and plants are also found turned to stone. The texture and form of the dead trees are clearly diseernable and resemble the immense red-woods of California Every fibre of the wood can be distinctly traced, and the hearts of the prostrate mon archs are q mass of sparkling crystals of various hues and colors.
 When cut and polished these silicified remains make beautiful mantle-pieces, center-tables and other household adornments. Ii will repay the traveller to stop over a day at Holbrook and to visit the striking curiosity.

Chiss,c .yadinu the Exclusion Ae,
IS. F. Chronicle.1

lT. r. NhiphiOic.l
 The Chinese have discovered a new and for the time beinga successful sub terfuge to elude the efforts of the United States officials and secure land ing at this port. Some time ago the Collector established system by which he became thoroughly acquainted with the financial standing of all the resident Chinese, and could thus readily deter mine the pretensions of all who pre- sented themselves as shreties on writs of habeas corpus. About the same time rigid enforcement was made of n rule of the United States District Court by which all Chinese desirous of acting as bondsmen were submitted to examina- ton and possible repudiation by the Government.
 This had Il decided effect on the traf- fic and number of arrivals on the last few steamers were compelled to return to the Orient, being unable to obtain competent bondsmen A larger mum ber of coolies than had arrived for months came on the China, and instead of swearing out the necessary writs in the District Court, where close inves- tigaiion would follow, an appeal was made to the United States Circuit Court, in which there is no provision for the examination which has done service in the District Court The re- suit has been that great majority of writs of habeas corpus have been grant ed by the Circuit Court. Over 116 Chinese have been landed by this sub terfuge, and when the ship sails to-day not single coolie who came here on her will return.
 The Calendar in Commissioner Nc Allister's court now has over 400 eases as yet to be decided. All of these men, as matter of course, have been hber- ated on bonds and are enjoying their practical freedom in Chinatown aud earning their full expenses in coming here
 Another phase in the opposition to the Exclusion net has presented itself
 
 ill willingness of certain classes cf the white people here to certify to state- ments made by Chinese residents who wish 10 leave for trip to China and not forfeit their right to return. Every year as the time approaches for the Chinese New Years festivities large numbers cf the coolies located in this city and working us servants, vegetable vendors and in other purely memal positions leave for home. Over two- thirds of them go ip tue guise of nor chants, with papers and certificates duly signed and indorsed eharacterizing them as such. Thoir return is consequently guaranteed, and not alone by their countrymea in Chinatown, who may be expected to further such policy, but by respectable business men and nor chants of the city, who for various reasons and motives sanction the pre- tensions of outgoing coolies which they know to be untrue: A very large ele- ment of these eoolie merchants is con stituted of house servants.

 Called "isetter Classes"
 The race for wealth is often run at the cost of neglect of the public in interests which itis the duty of citizens to concerve and promote. Men are so busy with their personal affairs that they have TO time for those of the com. mnnitr. These, therefore. must either be wholly neglected, or they must gd into the hands of those who take them ID and work them with no end in view hut that of selfish agrandizement. Tho vail that comes up from cities and towns over mismanagement, debt. dis order, etc., is an effect produced usually by the same culpable cause Good citi- zens, men of charaeterand ability. donot care to be bothered with these matters that involve so much trouble, and that especially call them of from their regu, lar pursuits. They, therefore, go intd the hands cf those who have neither character nor ability.

Works of the Ancients Which Could Not
 Be Surpassed in Our Day.
 It is sremarkable fact that nothing etirpasses in modern engineering the pyramids of Ghizeh. built more than a0Oo years ago. It is universally ac- knowledged by the highest professional authorities in architecture and building that the masonry of the Pyramids could not be surpassed in these days, and, moreover. is perfect for the purpose for which they were intended, above all. to endure After the building of pyramids was once commenced it was the fashion for about 10 centuries to erect huge, meaningless, pointed piles of masonry. Of the hundreds erected about 70 havo resisted the rarages of ages, and may still be seen. Many of those remaining contain enormous blocks of granite from 30 to 50 feet long, weighing from 800 to 800 tons, and display the most consum- mate ingenuity in their construction.
 more difficult operation than the mere transportation of immense stones that of erecting obelisks weighing 100 tons-was performed with precision by the Egyptians 300 years before the time of Christ Of the ancient method of raising immense stones nothing is now tnown-it is one of the many lost arts. Tie ancient Peruvians had method of transporting immense blocks of stone that would be fortuea to the modern engineer did he possess it. The Romano were also eminent engineers, and, by some authorities, are set down as even exceeding the Egyptians in that direc. tion. Immense stones were used in com etructiFg the Temple of Baalhee; on6 lies ready quarried which is 70 feet long and II feet square, and weighs 1, ,lS5 tons. St. Louis Republic.

The Pima and Papago Indians obtain in plentiful quantities superior qual- ity of red paint from the red gravel hills south of Florence. IL is the same kind used by the extinct races of Ari- Zona, and will endure centuries of ex- posture without fading The Indians mix the gravel ill water and pour the red, turbid liquid iEto a shallow dish then either the precipitate is used and the liquid poured of when clear, or else the entire liquid is evaperated and red deposit obtained in that way There are other sources of the various shades and qualities of the red paint used by the Indians, but the best is of mineral origin. Paint extracted from red gravel is used for the most part to color the native Indian pottery. It is sometimes seen in grotesque streaks on the face of Mr. Lo, and his clothing is often dyed to match. Oil is seldom mixed with their paints. - Moral and Scientific Companion.
