A young man, it is said, once called
upon the president of college for the
purpose Of asking admission to the in
stltution. After a brief conversation
the president added, There are three
things that are essential to perfect man
hood, namely: Education, piety and COM
mon sense. The first of these we pro
pose to give here, the second can be OBJ
tanned from above, but if you do not al
ready possess the third, you had better
go home for neither God nor man can
do anything for you"
Whether or not the acquisition of
common sense is absolutely impossible,
as the presidents remarks would imply,
we are not able to say, but what we
have seen of the uses that can be made
of this article we hope there is, at least,
the shadow of presumption that he is
wrong.

DakOta'S ArteSian Well.
[South Dakota Huronite.

The artesian well on the Valley stock
farm continues to attract great crowds
of people. And well it may, for it is
the wonder Of the age. Following the
tests made of the pressure Saturday and
Sunday the cap was removed and
through nozzle two-anda-half inch
stream was shot up into the air a dis
lance of 125 to 140 feet. The direct,
course Of the stream was greatly inter
fered with by the cross beams and der
rick. With clear way and no wind a
two-and- -half-inch stream would be
sent 100 feet into the air. So great is the
pressure that pine boards six inches
wide and one inch thick, used as stays
and braces on the derrick fifty feet
above the mouth of the well, were
broken by the force of the water.
While this nozzle was on, the derrick
which is seventy-fve feet high, was al
most hidden from view by the spray and
lettings of the stream, presenting a
sight as beautiful as it was wonderful.
