The Eomelr but Usefal Girl.

! The useful girl, writes Ella Wheel CT Wilcox in the Ladies liome Journal, is not noticeable in any way. Every body makes use of her, and everybody likes her. She has no enemies and no lovers. Women like her very much, and men speak highly of her when she is brought to their attention in some way; but they never think Of her volun- tarily. They appreciate her highly when she helps them out of q corner, and thank her cordially, and then for get her until they need her again. She is not apt to marry. for men do not care for useful girls before marriage, She can sew, she can get dinner ii need be, amuse children, assist il getting up en- tertainments for other people to par ticipate in, and she is Gn excellent nurse, and reads aloud well, and sings a little enough to rock child asleep or to help out chorus. She is like the ''green everlasting" or old fashioned Hive forever piart-scentless. and To beautiful, yet indispensable in a gar dcn.

< Case of Revolting Barbarity Among
 the Russian Peasants.

the Russian Peasants
 Yoozhanin of Kiev reports an incl dent of the most rcvolting bar5arity which characterizcs the Russian peas ants of some districts. \ peasant of the village of Potrovsh, near Odessa, sold h1s aged father and mother for twenty-five roubles as slaves to peas ant of the neigbb0ring village of BalO- vannoye. A written agreement to the transaction was made, and the seller received one rouble on account promis- ing to deliver the slaves on a certain date. When the time came and the slaves were not delivered, the purchaser came to PotrovSk to claim them. The poor old couple wore persuaded to go with the new master, for they were told their son would be sold out of house and home if his contract wore not full filled. But their grandchildren would not let the old woman go because she had brought them up and they were fond of her. The seller then, for the sake of his children, offered the pur- chaser a compromise; he would give an old aunt who was in the house instead of his mother. But no sooner did he make that offer than he came to grief. The old aunt, unwilling to go slaving for a stranger, kicked up q TOW and. at last ran away to the natchalnill (gov- ernmert agent) of the district and re- ported the whole story. Three police men were sent to the house and the whole party was arrested. Both pur chaser and seller received deserved chas- tisement, and their written agreement was torn uD.

The Mitchell Republican last week pub
lished a list giving the number Of sheep
in the state by counties, al compiled by
the state auditor. The report was made
from an estimate made last May, and
the total is given as 1855. The Repub-
lican adds:
The large number Of shipments or
Of sheep that are known to have been
made into the state since that assertion
was made would mako at least double the
number indicated.
Yes, we guess SO. For instance, Brule
county is credited with 2,O47 sheep, while
it has at this writing something owe
12,OO0-six times the number given it.

have inst as much character left as he

| always knew the fellow had gall, but ]
didn't suppose it was so bad as this woald
seem to indicate.
BY reading the papers l learn that our
valiant army has at last succeeded in
kicking up a commotion with the poor
redskins in Dakota. What effect this
may have upon Gen. Miles presidential
prospects Of course l cannot tell, but
from this distance and from talking with
men well informed on military matters
1 have formed the opinion that he is an
titled to much censure for the stupid
way in which the Bad Lands campaign
has been handled. But then he has sue
ceeded in getting his name prominently
before the people at very small expense
to himself-the millions that the govern
ment will have to pay will Of course cut
no figure. I still maintain that all this
trouble with the Indians was %avoidable,
and to mt it looks as though the whole
thing had been manipulated from polit-
zeal rather than humane motives. And
as yet l have heard nothing to change my
belief that Indians have just as good a
right to worship tlieir Great Spirit through
a system OF ghost dances as thier fellow
fanatics among the whites have to holl
camp meetings and the like. It's all y
matter of taste anyway, so wouldn't it
have been better, as well as more Chris
tianllke, to have let the poor benighted
redskins hold their little revival ser
vices in peace? They were initiating
the customs of the whites as we'll rs they
knew how, and if the government had
killed off a few Indian agents aud sent a
few army officers to the guard house all
this splitting Of innocent blood would
have been ayerted. At any rate that is
the way it looks to yours truly,

The Millennium.

Lieutenant G.. A. L. Totten, of the u
s. Army, and professor of military tao
tics at Yale University has been figuring
on the date of the mil enium He fixes
the year of 1890. He gives eight years to
wind up our terrestrial affairs and to
prepare for the great hereafter. The
lieutenant bases his prediction upon
quotation from one of the books of Els
dras, books which we have been taught
to consider apochryphal, but which
many persons regard as canonical and
inspired Esdras, book iv, chapter xiv,
verses 1912 reads thus: THE world hath
lost it's youth and the times begin to wax
old For the world is divided into
twelve parts, and ten parts of it are gone
already and a-half of a tenth part" In
other words, in Esdras' day but seven
sixtieths of the worlds allotted time re-
manned. By various calculations the
is reached that 1899 completes
the limit Esdras had in view. At the
end of the fourth book of Esdras there
is a statement to the effect-as Lieuten>
ant Totten understands it-that 5000
years, months and - days is fifty
three sixtieths of the worlds lifetime
This being the case $500 is the whole of
it, In the Jewish calendar the current
year is the 5,651st, bringing us to $500 in
1899. The letters J, H, V, H, suggesting
the word Jehovah, if translated into
Arabic numerals, give 5.66O-another
striking fact. Hence, it is argued, the
year 1899, which corresponds with the
Jewish $500. is shown by several lines of
reasoning to be the one that Esdras pres
dicted would be the last.
