Docs Not Apply to south Dakota.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., July 21.-Judge
Henry, of this district, has sustained his
temporary injunction closing the origi-
nal package houses in this city. The
grounds given for the decision are that
the enabling act admitting South Da-
kota to Statehood authorized the enact
ment of the prohibition clause in the
State constitution. Such enabling act
having been passed by Congress subse-
quen. to the passage of the Interstate
Commerce law, the prohibition law has
received the sanction of Congress, and
the Supreme Court decision does not ap-
ply to South Dakota. This brings up
new question, which will be carried up
and which, If sustained, will be of great
Importance to all of the new States
which have adopted prohibition.

Snakes Commit Suicide,

A few days ago it was mentioned
in these columns that a family of
crotalus horridus, or American
rattlesnakes, had been received from
the park by John A. Hillstead, the
family consisting of the father,
mother, and three young. The Sc
quel is an illustration ofthe fact that
sympathy and the ties ofblood exist
even in the reptiles. Yesterday Mr..
Hillstead, in response to the desire
ola friend, had two of the little
snakes removed from the cage and
putin alcohol, with the intention
of forwarding them. They had
scarcely been taken away when the
parent and mother snake, also the
brother or sister remaining, bit
themselves and literally committed
suicide, dying in great agony within
fifteen minutes from the time the two
little ones We're taken away. Fact is
stranger than fiction, and this is all
a fact. Mr.. Hillstead has the dead
reptiles on exhibition, those who
suicided having their self-inficted
wounds painfully apparent. Tt
would be touching but for the fact
that they were snakes. Desereb

A Sort OF Sixth Sense.

A species of sixth sense has been
observed in some deaf people-that
Of the appreciation Of vibration. In
one case described, a womanwh was
50 deaf that she could hear slightly
with only one ear was able to per-
ceive q light blow on u table, or a
footstep. She described the effects by
saying, not that she could hear the
blow, but that she could feel it. In
another case of a woman who was
entirely deaf, her attention could be
arrested instantly by a slight blow
on the floor or a table, SO slight that
would not notice it. This
faculty is explained BY the efforts OF
nature to supply q compensation for
a lost faculty.

The Advantage Of the Public
School.

We have no place in America for
dainty people-often called gilt edged
who think that the army would be
agood place if it were notion ther rank
and file. So it is better for a boy of
ours to be pitched into a public
school, to take pot luck with all sorts
and conditions OF boys, and to learn,
in the earliest life, that some of the
best fellows in the world, not to say
the brightest, never had a French
nurse, and always black their own
shoes, when they are blacked at all,
In all such schools that | have
known the tone ofhonor is very high.
And in such society one early learns
the great lesson that.al the people
are wiser than any one OF the people.

LONDON, April 23.-In presenting his land
scheme, which he offers as a substitute fol-
the complicated measure introduced by Bal
four, Parnell has succeeded In mystifyine
his friends as well as his opponents. While
they will naturally support a measure
framed by the leader of their party, the
Nationalist members feel that they are
entitled to full explanation OF
the scheme which many Of them
now unhesitatingly admit that they do moi
understand. The Freeman's Journal Is dis
satisfied because it leaves the landlords in
Ireland. The Conservative Express says tbs
bill asserts principle for which the land
lords have vainly commended The Pail NAL
Gazette says that IL such a bill had emanated
from the Tories it would have been over
whelmed with every epithet that Irish Inn
agination could invent
