There was no response, but anybody

1t is somewhat surprising that cold wat
er and hot water should differ so radically
in effect upon corpulent people. The form
er certainly favors their complaint. 1t is a
well known fact that beer is fattening, but
it owes such action almost entirely, if not
absolutely, to the water, Here it is inter-
esting to note the experiment of German
physician. For four years he drank two
gallons of beer daily, and increased his
weight seventy eight pounds. On stopping
the beer he lost fourteen pounds in seven
days. In corpulent people the fattening
effect of cold water is always greater if it
is INDUCED in freely with the meals or
shortly after them.
A probable explanation is that by dis
tending the stomach and diluting the di-
gestive fluids it retards digestion, which
process, as already said, is seldom, if ever,
as active as it ought to be in corpulent
subjects. Hot water, on the other hand,
stimulates digestion, and at the same time
promotes freer action of the liver, kidneys
and bowels, Beyond this it favors the elm
ination of waste through the pores of the
skin.-Boston Herald.

NORTH DAKOTA.

This state contains SO counties, of which
Il are unorganized, and has an area of
1922 square miles, or 47,569,68O acres.
It's 21O miles north and south by 36O miles
east and west. It's northern boundary is
the 49th parallel of latitude, just about
half way between the red hot of the equa-
tor and the other extreme at the north
pole. The location of the state helps to
give it the healthiest climate in the United
States. The census shows that North Da-
kota's increase i'll population was greater
per cent-than any state. We predict
the same report for 1900. North Dakota
has been q state but one year. Her devsls
opment, large as it is, has just com
menced. Only one tenth of the land is
under cultivation. Population, 192,455.
Number of horses, 132.4?O, number of
sheep now, 250,00O, and number of cattle,
2,866,53O.

The congressman who has the honor of
representing this broad area of $4,000
square miles, known as North Dakota, is
here for two days rest. Hon. M. N. John
son has many warm friends in Grand Forks
who are always pleased to sec him. He is
just from Petersburg his home, has his
wheat sown and correspondence we'll clear
ed up. Mr.. johnson has discovered that it
is no light job to attend to his correspond
ence. The one matter of postof1ices, re-
quire considerable attention. There are
$40 4th class postofices in this state, and
from three to four new appointments are
made every week. These Offices do not
pay large salary, but it is necessary to
be careful in tho selection of p. NJ. just
as much as if the Office was first class one.
Congressman johnson is not likely to make
any mistakes. He is we'll acquainted and
good politician. He, in common with all
Dakotans, rejoices over the prospects for
good times. This state, in particular, is in
fine condition, and the wheat will likely
make a big yield. All over North Dakota
there is confidence that there will be plen-
ty, for the land is loaded with moisture

A Poor Joke, He Thought

"It was like this: I goes into the We'll
lington for lunch. just as I'm sitting
down in comes Jack Austin, the closest old
skinfint in six counties. Well, he sits down
at my table and says he'll tell me funny
story. size it up that he's getting into me
for the lunch, see? I only have about $3.-
so in my clothes, see? I let him order first,
and he goes and orders woodcock and
things like that, up to 1925. This kind of
freezes me, and SO tell him I'm feeling sick,
and all I wants cup of coffee and some
crackers. That costs quarter, and makes
the bill up to the limit of my pile, see?
Well, we eat our lunch and Jack tells funny
stories, and pretty soon the waiter makes
out two checks, with total of $3.50.
"Here,' says Jack, give me your check,
I'll pay for the lunch
"Now, I call that one of the most das
tardly jokes. If had suspected he was
going to do anything like that would have
eaten about six dollars worth" n."-Chicagc

INSTITUTE NOTES.

The recitation, ''The Three Lovers" by
Miss Jenett Ward, principal of the Wash
burn school, at the entertainment Wednes-
day evening, was full of pathos-an inter-
esting showing how theoretical principles
of love are actually put in practice by the
young school -marms of North Dakota.
Every one has been busy during the
week at the institute trying to solve the
octogon dimensions of the tadpole. J. T..
Davis came very close to tho solution in a
neat little verse composed on the subject.
Where was Mr.. Rea the evening of the
entertainment? It is said he was the only
teacher who fzzled out on that occasion.
The music Wednesday evening was good,
and the members of the institute return
their thanks to Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzgerald,
Miss Wells and brothers, and Mrs. L. j.
Haugeberg for kind assistance in making
that particular part of the programme SO
interesting.
Prof. Wells lesson in the simplest
method how to teach division of fractions
was beautifully illustrated by that gentle
man.
The only genuine piece Of work shown
was piece of poetry composed, it is said
by Mr.. Davis, on the workings at the in
stitue. And by the way, the reply by tho
above gentleman made to the address o
welcome, was considered by most present
to have been very good and appropriate
We believe, i'll the course of time, Mr.
Davis will make an excellent speaker
We are glad to note the power and will o
a true teacher in that gentleman.
