can determine. The question with Captain
Mills is whether they can be grown and ma
tured before frost. If they can, there is no
reason why the growing of sugar beets and
their manufacture into sugar should not be
as profitable as it is in Utah. Il. H. Klein
schmidt, who made the first attempt to in
troduce the raising of the sugar beet in
Montana from imported seeds, gives some
information on the subject which is
of interest. Last year. he distrib,

Elizabeth Glover, in her book, ''Fam-
lily Manners devotes chapter to de-
ploring the New England habit of re-
pressing ones feelings on the matters
nearest at heart, and never allowing
them to find expression in words. She
says:
There was a railroad accident, and
poor farmers wife was taken out, bleed
ing and unconscious. The doctor and a
kind woman were working over her
when her husband came in and stood a
moment, looking on in disturbed silence.
His cheeks were drawn in, his eyebrows
lifted, his hands in his pockets.
Presently, with some effort, he cleared
his throat to speak, and as the doctor
looked up he asked, eye didn't see a new
tin dipper lynn round where We picked
her up, did YEP
He got no answer from the indignant
doctor, and presently strayed out again
in search of his dipper
Meanwhile his wife opened her eyes
and at once asked for her husband.
Hes safe" said the doctor shortly. She
felt his curt tone, and faint as she was
she OWNED what it meant Hes a
dreadful feelin' man., she said, "but he
don't never say much"

A LEGEND.

There has come to my mind legend, thing
had half forgot,
And whether read 1t or dreamed it. ah, well, is
matters not
It is said that in heaven at twilight great bell
softly swings,
And man may listen and hearken to the wonder
full music that rings.
II he puts from his hearts inner chamber all the
passion, pain and strife,
Heartache, and weary longing that throb in the
pulses of life
If he thrust from his soul all hatred all thoughts
of wicked things,
He can hear in the holy twilight how the bell Of
the angels rings.
And think there is in this legend, if we open
our eyes to see,
Somewhat of an inner meaning, my friend, to you
and me.
Let us look in our hearts and question Can pure
thoughts enter in
To soul if it be already the dwelling of thoughts
of sin?
So then let ponder little; let us look In our
hearts and see
If the twilight bells of the angels could ring for
us-you and me.

A Boston writer tells nice story
about how he found among the wretched,
bedraggled horses of the fish peddlers a
faultless saddle mare. It is possible for
the most excellent and most lovable ami
mails to fall into the hands of brutal
masters, and die ''unhonored and un-
sung But good care and skillful hand
ling would restore many such. If the
story puts hundreds of kindly people on
the watch to rescue possible pets from
the crowds of animals that drudge about
our city streets, with all the spirit of a
noble horse beaten out by beetle headed
owners, it Nill fulfill the evident object
of the writer. Globe Democrat.

Indians frequently, after engaging in
the whip dance, VOW that they win never
more submit to the ordeal, and mutually
assure each other that their skins have
been made to suffer for the last time.
But an irresistible longing soon seizes
them to again realize the fearful Joy of
indulging in the ''sport," and the result
is that the dance continues as fashion
able as ever. The young men of the
tribe then, having put on all the finery
they are able to muster, arm themselves
with the terrible maquarri-a peculiar
whip from which the dance derives its
name This whip is about five feet in
length and is manufactured of strong
grass fiber native to the district, bound
around spirally with strip of thin cane.
In the hands of muscular Warau it is
capable of infiicting wound very little
less severe than that which would be
produced by the downward blow of a
knife.
When the dance is about to commence
the performers range themselves opposite
one another, waving their whips in the
air and giving utterance to cries resem-
bling the notes of birds Suddenly one
of them stops, and posing himself on
one leg stretches out the other, remain
ing perfectly motionless. The other
stops, too, measures the distance care
fully with his eye, springs high in the
air to give force to the blow, and, wishl
down comes the heavy whip with
fearful smack upon his opponents out
stretched limb, and a red cash marks
where the keen thong has curled round
his calf or ankle.
The recipient of the blow Dtters never
sound, but, smiling as cheerfully as
possible under the circumstances, again
takes up the dance until it is the turn of
the other player to stand still and re-
ceive his punishment, which, we may
depend upon it, is usually returned with
as good will as it was given.-San
Francisco Examiner.

It Is often a matter of speculation
how the multitude of street vendors in
New York make living. In the vicin-
ity OF the postofice, opposite the Aston
House, are always to be seen numerous
push carts. some containing nothing
but bananas, invariably propelled by
lazy looking sons of Italy Watch them
for an hour, or as long time as you
can spare, and the chance sales are so
small, so few and far between, that it
doesn't seem possible that enough bust
ness can be done to yield profit suf-
ficient to keep body and soul together.
Yet very few of them but turn out from
one dollar to two dollars day clear of
expenses.
An average of 81. so per day, rain or
shine, is not unusual. There are no
expenses beyond the small capital in
vested in bunch of the succulent
tropical fruit. Very often this is fur
nished by another Italian, who may
own a number of these carts and vari-
GUS street stands, while the vendors are
operating on shares or commissions.
This capitalist is sort of padrone, and
having himself sprung from the ranks
requires scrupulous accounting from
his poorer countryman, whose ambi-
ton to own a cart and his own trade is
almost sure to be realized in the course
of time The latter is then ready to
marry and run an establishment of his
own.
He can earn as much as the average
day laborer, but he must be about the
streets early and late. The police reg
ulations compel him to keep moving.
Persistent violation of these rules is
likely to get him into trouble, though
1.-The finest are very lenient in the ex-
ercise of their discretion in this respect.
The fruit cart is but one of the many
sources of livelihood of the street vend-
er, but its meager simplicity appeals
most powerfully to the imagination of
the observer. New York Herald.

Among the Piutes it is always the
father-in-Iaw that makes the trouble.
Every married Piute is always glad
of visit from his mother-in- law. He
welcomes her with his broadcast grin.
The arrival of the mother-in-law gives
him a double team, where before he
had only one animal He halls her
appearance with delight, and piling
a jackass load of wood upon her
willing old back, sends her into town
with his wife, similarly packed, to
peddle out the fuel and bring back to
him supply of money for his favorite
game of poker. The Piute father-in-law
is no use as wood packer, nor will he
gather grass seeds or pine nuts.-vir-

1t is a curious fact that the tones of
civilized races are louder and hmrsher
than those used by savage tribes. In
deed, among people who are classed as
civilized, it will commonly be found that
the more highly cultivated, up to a GER
tain point, speak in the sharper tone. Of
course, when cultivation and refinement
have reached the point that the tones of
the voice have become a matter of atten-
ton and care, the rule no longer holds,
for then low, well modulated tones are
acquired as an accomplishment
The philosophy of this popularity
seems to be that the same energy and
vigor which give certain races the leader
ship in advancement are accompanied by
unusual nervous strain, and we are well
aware how plainly nervousness is indi-
Gated in the tones. The people of New
England speak in a sharper and shriller
voice than their cousins in old England.
They are also more intense in feeling and
more eager in action.
That this difference is not due to the
influence of climate is apparent upon
comparison of our people with those of
the dominion to the north and east of us.
1t is only as climate or other agencies
may affect the entire character of a peo-
pie that it has anything to do with the
tones in which they speak. Commonly,
as we approach the tropics, we find the
voice lower and softer; but, then, this is
only in keeping with the whole life of
the people, which shows less of force and
earnestness than that of people who in
habit the temperate zone. 1t suggests
that they are too INDECENT to raise their
voices.
The writer recalls that he has more
than once been asked by persons from
Brazil and from the Spanish countries Of
South America, who were new corners
among us, whether those whom they
overheard were really scolding, for they
discovered no petulance nor ill feeling
except in the tones of the voice. Such
questions are calculated to awaken profit
able reflections. ~ Youths Companion

why wolcott Became ! Senator.

''Wolcott owes his election to the
senate, said gentleman who knows
him well, ITO a sensational account of
his winning large stake at faro at
Long Branch few years ago Vol
colt won something like $40, 900 on one
play, and the story was sent from one
end of the country to the other. He
had no idea at that time of seeking
political preferment But the publica-

it. That is the true story of how VOL

Editing Poetry.

Newspaper traditions in New York
contain many quaint instances of the
art of boiling down copy. 1t is a com
mon saying that newspaper receives
twice as much matter as it prints. A
large sacrifice to the blue pencil or re-
jected copy spindle is inevitable. The
champion boiler of news in the New
York Offices in the days that veterans
in the business still remember was Dr.
Wood, who exercised his art in The Sun
office for many years, and the most ar
tistic feat of condensation remembered
of him is worth recording. One night
half column poem was turned over to
him to edit Copy was copy to his
practical eye, and he set out to get at
the meat Of the verses and state it in
the fewest possible words. This was
the result:
Do you love mel No.
Then go.

INC strength of wood.

In a paper on the strength of different
kinds of wood for building purposes,
Professor johnson calls attention to the
fact, as now demonstrated, that many
cheaper kinds of timber may prove more
valuable for structures than more exc
pensive varieties, which have been sup
posed to be stronger, and, therefore,
more desirable. Thus, pine supports or
pillars have been found stronger than
oak ones, when tested in large samples

Length and Breadth Or London.

The metropolitan area of London ex-
tends over some twelve miles from north
to south, and some seventeen miles from
east to west; within this space thirty
nine governments so rule the houses,
roads, drains Of their three millions and
three-quarters of subjects that for the
last ten years the death rate has been
only 22b per 1000, or but per 1000 in
excess Of that of the whole country. In
the seventeenth century it is believed
that the deaths exceeded the births in
London, and the death rate was then
about 40 per 200, or more than double
what it is now, and higher by far than
the mortality rates of the unhealthiest
cities of Europe today.-London Tit-Bits.

No Dentists Needed in Labrador.

Little Miss Krarer, the Esquimaux,
called on E. FL White, the Lewiston
dentist, Tuesday, to have her teeth
fixed. She told in her own way to
Mr.. White that probably she was the
first Esquimaux that he ever attended
professionally, and he agreed. She re-
marked this curious fact that only
since coming to civilization, where
dentists live and thrive, had she ever
needed the attendance of one, and she
said naively: rs there anything con
Eliminating in the profession?" Her
father lived to be nearly so and never
had a decayed tooth. None of her fam
lily or friends were ever troubled. She
never heard of an Esquimaux who had
anything but sound teeth. Mr.. White
found Miss Krarer's needs, from a
dental point of view, to be quite as
great as those of any average Ameri-
can lady, all of it developed, she de-
clared, since coming to America. ~
