TIE lagrippe is playing hob again this
winter. All over the country 1t is raging,
and it il much more fatal than last sea-
son. The eastern newspapers speak Of it
as "a mysterious disease" and truly it is
well termed. 1t is new ailment, last
winter being the season Of its first ap.
pearance--in this country, at least. Year
after year brand-new complaints are COM
ing to the front to aff1ict poor humanity,
until it seems almost wonderful that peo-
pie can live at all. And yet statistics
show that the average period of human
life is lengthening.

ONE thing that interested the members
of the legislature and other visitors from
the southeastern part Of the state, At Bis.
marck, last winter, was the Ignite coal.
They saw 1t on the cars as it came from
the mine, and a. it burned in hotel stoves
and in those of private houses. The big
chunks of fuel, with no slack and little
waste, were q revelation to them. Said
Representative Cope, a Richland county
democrat, to the writer: '"This is good
fuel. 1t is much better than I had sup.
posed. We want this coal down our
way; and wen have it, too, before very
long" Mr.. Cope had been told by a

Tho New Rand Law.

The tendency of the new land law,
says the Devils Lake Inter Ocean, will be
to increase the value of farm lands in
North Dakota. 1t is not so easy to get
government land now as it was before
this law passed. Instead of giving the
settler 460 acres Of land, as the old Claw
did, 100 acres is all that any one can Sc
cure, and to obtain that at least fourteen
months residence is necessary. The set.
tiers that come now will come to stay.

The 500 Road.
Indications that the 500 road intends
to build extensions pext year to Cana
dian Pacific connection and to the Turtle
Mountains are multiplying. The extern
sion from Hanklnson is graded thirty
miles northwest of that poiat, and is
ready to receive the rails in the early
spring. The officials of the road have
looked over the country through which
the proposed extensions will run, and,
although persistently refusing to state
their intentions, have but lily concealed
their movements, from which the above
infersnces are drawn. The Oakes Re.
publican says: "a 500 special contain

The American lanauaae.

Toat there will ever b. any broad
divergence between English and
American speech-such, for exam
Pile, as exists between Portuguese
and Spanish-is altogether unlikely.
A divergence as widu as this has
been impossible since the invention
of printing, and it Is even less pos
sible since the school-master has
been abroad teaching a B @ in Lon
don, New York, Sydney, and Cal
cutta.
Although il has ceased absolutely
to be British, the chief literature Of
North America is still English, and
must remain SO, just as the chief
literature Of South America is still
Spanish.
That any one country shall re-
main or become at once the politi-
cal and literary centre of the wide
series of Anglo-Saxon states which
now encircles the globe, is almost
equality unlikely, but me may be
sure that that branch Of our Anglo
Saxon stock will use the best Eng
lish, and will perhaps see its stand
ard of speech accepted by the other
branches, which is most vigorous
physically, mentally, and morally.

Bishop Grafton. Of the Episcopal
diocese Of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin,
thus expressed himself last week
regarding the Sunday question NJ
the Chicago Exposition:
II am certainly in favor OF having
the exposition open on Sunday, or ut
least that part OF II that includes the
art aud kindred displays. The doors
should be open say about noon, when
oil those who wish 10 attend church
services have done so. After one has
properly observed his duties on the
sabbath there is no possible reason
why he should not devote the remain-
der Of the day 10 hcalthful recreation
That is a great benefit to man, woman
and chlld. Also | would suggest that
the restaurants should remain open In
order that refreshments should be serv-
cd 10 the people. think that the keep
ing Of the fair open on Sundays would
draw TO II a great deal Of the saloon
and theatre patronage. IL is foolish
ness to attempt 10 do that which our
intellect opposes and which was nc
literally necessary

Knowledge Is Power.

AT the recent examination here,
the persons applying for teachers
certificates i'm this county were
questioned, among other things,
abOutthe 'Oral elements" OF speech,
and were asked TO explain the ma
ture of the different sounds, labials.
dentals, palatals, &c. One of the
cOlored applicants, in reply TO the
question. "What are labials and
dentals ?" wrote down the follow
ing ingenious definition
LabIals-Small papers used on med
icinc bottles.
Dentals-Instrumcnts used by den
ticcs for pulling and fixing teeth.
This shows undeniable original
ity. but the hard-hearted examiners
refused to accept it. Our sympa-
thies, however, are entirely with
this ill-starred applicant, for we
cannot understand what bearing the
fullest knowledge about "labials and
dentals" has upon a mans fitness
to be Il teacher.
