Characteristic Of Dumas,

A very characteristic letter of Alexan-
der Dumas was received by the director
of the Cluny museum, in which the
former announces his intention of pre-
senting to the museum the sword of the
Marquis de Pescaire, which has been left
to him by E. de Beaumont. NJ. Dumas
gives the reason for his hberality as fol-
lows: Il had engaged to leave the sword
after my death to the Cluny museum,
but l know the collectors, amateurs and
directors of museums. In their fondness
for rarity they go so far as to wish for
the death Of those to whom it belongs,
especially if they are the heirs. do not
wish to expose your conscience to pain
full battle, for it would be sure to fight,
perhaps successfully, for the possession
of the weapon. therefore offer you at
once the sword of the vanquisher of Pa
via and the vanquished of Ravenna. And
now, dear sir. as you can no longer see
any reason why should not live a very
long time yet, let me assure you that
while l live l shall always be your de-
voted friend. A. DUMAS"

Praise of the French Peasant.

The common notion of the French
peasant as a narrow minded, penurious
and not too moral person receives no
support from Mr.. Frederic Harrison.
whose personal study Of French rural
life has nevertheless been very consider
able. The indomitable endurance of the
French race has, he reminds us, enabled
France to surmount crushing disasters.
losses and disappoiYments under which
another race would have sunk. She
bears with ease national debt, the an
nual charge of which is more than dou-
BILE that of wealthy England, and a taxa
ton nearly double that of England, with
almost the same population permanent
taxation that exceeds 100 francs per
head, and is greater than has ever before
been borne by any other people. She
lost over one war sum not much short
of the whole national debt of England,
and she has written OFF without a muir
muir loss of e4S,0O0,O0O, thrown into
the Panama canal. If France is thus
strong, the backbone of her strength is,
in Mr.. Harrison's opinion, found in the
marvellous industry and thrift of her
peasantry.-London News.

And have bsen lovely in their beauteous prime,
While the bare frood seems ever TO repeat,

And flowers TO cherish; summer round them

But while its petals still ore burning red

From the list of cities in which lights
are supplied by private companies we
take the following statement of the num-
Der of lamps and annual charge per lamp.
where the lighting continues all night
and the lamps are of (nominal 1900

Sf44: Chattanooga, Tenn. 30 lights at

In some of these cities the contract has
been made with two or three different

any difference in the charge-in other
words, competition does not give lower
rates. Let us now give the figures OBJ

own electric lighting plants. Hunting

The Work of Writing a Book.

Dumas once said that it was the east
sst thing in the world to write book.
You had only to seat yourself in leath-
sr covered chair at library table well
supplied with blue paper and a certain
kind of pen and ink, and proceed to
write; but before you began, before you
seated yourself or wrote the first word,
you should have given ten years of
thought to the subject on which you in
tended to write.-Writer.

The Sliding Railway of Paris.

The essence of the invention Of the
sliding railway" which was the sensa-
ton Of the Paris exposition, is the sub
stitution of thin film of water, over
which the vehicle slides, for rolling
wheels, the film being maintained by
hydrostatic pressure, and propulsion by
successive jets of water under pressure,
acting against rib of buckets extending
under the whole train, thus dispensing
with all locomotive power. Christian at

Our farmers are catching on to
the fact that the Dakota coal is all
right and that by using it it means
money in their pockets. We notice
that they are commencing to inquire
after this coal. That is right. The
coal will certainly prove a Godsend
to North Dakota, and if our people
will give it fair and honest trial
without prejudice, they cannot help
but admit that it is all right. To be
sure it does not look bright and
sparkling like the Pennsylvania hard
coal, but SO long as it burns freely,
throws out plenty of fheat and answers
the purpose generally, what is the
difference. Give this coal fair
chance and you will fall, in love with
it. Great care should be exercised
in dumping out the ashes. A few
live embers in an ash pile are soon
famed into bright fire by the wind
and carelessness on the part of per-
sons emptying out ashes might result
in a serious conAagration-some-
thing we do not want.

Winter is about gone and notwith.

of the past season, our Griggs coun.
ty people have weathered the hard
ships and are preparing to till the
soil for another crop. Very few
cases of destitution have been foune
in this county, and while perhaps
many families have had very meagre
living during the winter, yet most Of
them have come out all right. Our bus.
mess men have also felt the pressure
of hard times and have had to cur.
tail their expenses in order to NEE
the times, yet they are by no means
despondent, and will open up theil
spring trade with lots of faith ane
grit. The ground is in fine shape, :
great deal better than it was last yeal
and if indications and signs are any
good, we ought to get good crop
this year. Geologists tell us tina
we are going to get an abundance o
moisture this year, and if it will only
come at the right time we are almos
sure of a crop. There is no better
soil for raising cereals to be foune
anywhere that will beat the soil O
