Death Singles Out Strangely.

Il just met, while ago" said Mr.. J. w.
Nier, Kansas City engineer, "a soldier
who was wounded at the battle of Wound
ed Knee. He was in the act OF firing when
he was shot, the ball from a Winchester
passing from armpit to armpit, clear
through both lungs He was given up for
dead, but today says he is just as well and
strong as ever he was in his life.
1T is curious how death stalks, singing
out some and sparing others who seem to
court visit from him. I remember when
was in the governments employ at the
Mississippi jetties that the yellow fever
visited the squad of twenty-eight on duty
at the jetties, and seventeen became pros
trated with the fever The others became
exhausted in watching their stricken COM
rades, and one night three of the patients,
becoming crazed, broke away and took to
the canebrakes. The next day they were
found in a swamp, and these three of the
seventeen afflicted were the only ones who
recovered. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

young lady, good natuSed Norwegian
being present. who had just walked<six-
teen miles across the mountains When
the lady rose to go to her lodgings in an
adjoining house the Englishman offered to
escort her through the darkness.
She declined the offer, and in so abrupt a
manner as to surprise him. When she had
gone the Englishman asked the Norwegian
II he spoke English. Not much-only a
few words" he answered. Tell me what
means that ring the lady wears" "She is
going to below you call it," asked the
Norwegian, in scarlet perplexity. Going
to be married. ''Yis, wis.,

but they mark the men. Among us it is
the man who wears the ring
"Oh, see? That is a new lightr' said
the Englishman, taking the mans large
left hand, on whose fourth finger was a
plain solid gold ring. ''That is your we'd
ding ring, them"
Mai, nair' he replied laughing and
blushing. THAT means 1 have got to be
marriedr'
And then what becomes of it?'
We put it on the right hand instead of
the left" said the Norwegian, holding out
his hand to bid the Englishman 'sGodt

Then, as he was closing the door behind
him, he said in confidential tones. 'Yis,

going to marry ME next monthr'-Youth's

The Fork Is Overworkcd,

Why should the fork be preferred before
the spoon in the absorption of pudding,
diaphanous in itself, and whose chief claim
upon the palate's appreciation is the thin
ner sauce which accompanies aud glorifies
1t? How wearying and unsatisfactory it
is to do justice to such food with the fork,
The spoon is the only proper sensible vehi-
Gle. With the spoon each mouthful Of
pudding is anointed with its modicum of
sauce and when you have finished your
pudding you have not the modification of
gazing into your saucer and seeing there
sauce which the fork is powerless to carry
to your tantalized mouth. When it comes
to pudding and pudding sauce the fork is
an abomtnation. Give us, say we, the
spoon, whatever etiquette may say to the
contrary.
The fork is overworkei also in the eat
ing of peas, succotash and limpid food of
that sort. Instead of chasing one poor pea
around your plate with the impotent fork,
and finally having to head off its flight
with a bit of bread, why not drop the fork
and utilize the convenient and sensible
spoons Why should etiquette despoil eat
ing of its comforts and its joys The fork
is all right up to a certain point; but there
is such thing as the fork being over
worked. Boston Transcript.

we need tact quite as much as sympathy
when we speak of death: the death more
particularly of some one dear to friend or &C
qualntance. Grief, to an almost abnormal
degree, sharpeEs the sensibilities, and by a
curious law of the mind difficult to COM
prehend, it creates in the individual a Ger.
tain acuteness, a certain fastidiousness. as
1t were, by which in many cases he becomes
alive not so much to the sympathy ex-
pressed as to the form in which that svm-
patty has been proffered. In other words,
the mind of the sufferer has for the time
being become as sensitive to impressions as
that of sick person, and as ready to be
hurt by trifies. The very tone of the voice
may jar, and one be hurt by mournful
cadence, and the other by note of hope,
or well meant but i'll chosen words in let
tiers be as often cause for pain as the
''creaking of clumsy boots" to fever strick-
en- patients.
Happily, benefcent nature in her own
time heals snch sorrow, and the part of
the friendly counselor, till that time be
come, is little better than intrusion. 1t is
when the attitude of the mind becomes
conventionalized, a form of grief crystal
lied into definite rules of observance, that
the outsider desires to make protest-as
when mourner waits year to the day
before drawing up the window shades or
admitting visitors; or as when only out of
town invitations are accepted; or one will
listen to music but draw the line at the
drama. Yet even here there is SO little
that is vital to which to make appeal that
avoidance of the subject seems rather the
easier way.-Harper's Bazaar.

She Knows How to Manage.

A wife whose husband has a bungling
brain and homely face used to try to
make things pleasant at home by express
ing her admiration of his talents and Civ
ing him the pet name of BRAINS" Her
delicate fiattery did not seem to have much
influence upon him, though she kept it up
for whole year after their marriage One
time not long ago, when she was in happy
frame of melting mood or meditative state,
she expressed her admiration of his comely
countenance, and at last went so far as to
say she would give him the pet name of
Beauty" He smiled as she, repeated the
word with full consciousness that she had
touched his weak point. And now, what
ever be his mood of mind or the vicissi-
tudes of life, that word dispels all other
thoughts and the twain are happy.-Chi-

A Folding Rack Invented but Not Pat
ented, by an Ohio Farmer and Recent
ly Described, with Appropriate Illus
trations, in The Country Gentleman.
The rack here illustrated is put to-
gether entirely with bolts. Take two
pine planks, 10 inches wide, II or 2
inches thick and IA feet long; bolt eight
cross pieces on these, lay tight board
bottom, bolt on cross pieces at each end
2 inches thick Zig. u. Make this the
width of your wagon, to fit between
standards. Cut in notches for stand
ards, or nail on blocks or strips, SO that
the rigging will not slip backward and
forward; then screw or bolt on each side
piece of iron about 10 inches long on
the bottom of the rack outside for the
wheels to rub against.

Absconding Bees.

Bees often desert their hives in early
spring. Sometimes this is caused by dis
satisfaction with the hive, sometimes
from want of food, and often, doubtless,
because they are weak and dissatisfied.
AS rule, good strong colonies, with
ample stores of food, seldom give trouble
in this way.
As to the prevention, Root in his
ga B G of Bee Culture" SAYS: eff YOU
would not lose your bees by natural
swarming, clip the wings of all queens
as soon as they begin laying; then look
after them often and know what is going
on in the apiary every day during the
swarming season. If you would not have
runaway swarms in the spring, and
while queens are being fortified, confine
your experiments to pecks of bees instead
of pints."
Professor Cook, in his ''Beekeeper's
Guide" says: Sometimes swarms break
cluster and take wing for their prospect
i've home before the beekeeper has hived
them. Throwing dirt among them will
sometimes cause them to light again.
Throwing water among them in form of
fine spray will always do this. For
such purpose some hand pump is desir-
able. Another important use for q
fountain pump in the apiary is this: If
a swarm, when clustered, be sprinkled
occasionally, it will remain clustered in
definitely. While most customs have a
reasonable basis, the common one of
horns and bells and beating of pans to
stop swarm is notable exception. 1t
does not the least good"

Experiments in Potato Culture.

Mr.. Carman tells in his New Potato
Culture that his experience has led him
to answer all inquiries as to the size of
seed pieces, use large sized pieces con-
tanning two or three strong eyes" The
advice to use whole seed he considers
very bad indeed. Mr.. Carman's expert
ments make it appear that to produce the
potato crop potash is required in larger
proportion than either nitrogen or phos-
phoric acid, and that more is required
for this crop than for either wheat or
corn, notwithstanding that the latter is
such gross feeder.

made thereon; that the railroad lands
therein named were the property Of the
Northern Pacific railroad company, and
could not be collected. A portion Of the
personal tax viii! probably be collected,
but it is impossible to tell what proper
ton. The taxes collected on the North
ern Pacific lands were secured previous
to ruling of the courts which made the
same illegal. The state has the county
charged with little over $1,000 which
this uncollected tax will more than bal
ance. The state auditor and public ex-
amlner were made commission by law
enacted last winter and it is probable this
matter will soon be settled. Nearly all
counties in the state are in the same con-
dit1on as Burleigh.

Profits OF Cattle Raising.

Bismarck Tribune: The records at the
Northern Pacific office show that Rey-
nolds Brothers have shipped 19l carloads
of beeves from Dickinson this year. Fig
uring twenty one head to the car and we
have 4,Oll beeves. Calculating the net
sales at $50 per head and we have in
round figures S2,OOO,OO0 for one seasons
business. Reynolds Brothers raise their
cattle in Texas and drive two-year-olds
to their Dakota range northwest of Dick
inson each year, which are worth, laid
down, from $l5 to S1S head at the
usual rates paid. These cattle are kept
at an an expense of about 81 per head
pei year and are ready for market at the
age of four.
