The boy that is given a scrub ed
ucation is very apt to develop into a
scrub man. He rents or buys a
scrub farm, invests in scrub stock,
buys scrub implements and raises
scrub crops. His pleasures and en-
joyments of life are all of the scrub
order, aud his poor wife, as she
drudges YEARLY through life, seems
in her daily rounds to be sounding
the sad refrain of her life, scrub,
scrub, scrub!

PHOTOGRAPHIC FLATS.

instantaneous photographs may be
taken by means of a movable shutter
or by exposure to fash of magne-
SUM light or to the electric spark.
From photographs of a rotating
wheel, according to recent lecture
by Lord Royleigh, the duration of
the magnesium flash has been cal
culated to be from ITO to 1-5O of
second, while a simple spark from
Leyden jar lasts less than 1-25OO0-
600 of a second. instantaneous
photographs have lately been taken
which show that a jet of oxygen on
passing through water is at once
split up into bubbles, and that a Jet
of water issuing into the air from q
nozzle is at first cylindrical and then
broken up into drops, which is
momentarily connected with the
cylinder by igament. The photo
graphing of soap bubble in the act
of breaking, though this occupies
less than ITO OF second, is made
possible by dropping a weight from
an electromagnetic, thus breaking the
film and causing the spark stimuli
taneously.
OUR NEARNEss TO THE GLACIAL EPOCH.
Did you ever reflect, proud one,
upon the narrow limits of the condi-
tons that make human life possible?
A little more heat and his works
would wither into dust, little more
cold and the SHOWS of perpetual win
ter would be heaped high above the
highest of the earth's cities. Mr..
G. Harding tells the Royal Meteoro-
logical Society, London, that the
frost of the past winter has been
more prolonged than any previous
one during the last hundred years.
From November rs to January %,
a period of So days, the mean tenn
perature of the southeast of England
was 90 below freezing point, or
100 lower than the average, al
though in the extreme north of the
Scotland the cold was less than l Q
greater than the average. This most
'emarkable period of frost leads
Prof. 7. G. Bonney to inquire what
fall of Temperature would
estore the glacial period. He con.
dudes that a lowering of the mean
w only 1Sc WOuld AGAIN cover the {
British Isles and the northern G
United States with sheet of Ice, 6
nd that beyond the st. Lawrence

these annual overhows seems inevi-

You will do very foolish thing
if you throw off your friend because
you have found him wanting at a
single point. Friends are not SO
plentiful that you can afford to deal
with them in that way. More than
this the man whom you are about to
discard may have a thousand vir-
tues. Should not these plead for
mercy. Perfection does not dwell
under the sun. Little as you may
think of it, there are a few weak
points in your own character.

SHALL WE HAVE THE OIL MILL.

A petition is being circulated Ii
the city FOR subscription to joint
stock company to raise $4,000 to
purchase and operate the Heiden-
hammer oil mill, now standing idle.
Forty thousand is all of this that is
required as the purchase money, and
to every one who knows anything
about an oil mill these figures will
stike them as being low. It Is said
that Mr.. Heidenhammer was a man
not given to boasting and that on
one occasion when the city assessor
wanted to assess this property $751;
900 Mr.. H, having given it in at
$4,000, board of equalization was
called in and decided that MIR. Salley
was right, that the property was
worth, $4,000, and that Mr.. H, said
well gentlemen you're rather hard
en- me, but as l made cool one
hundred thousand out of this mill
last year 1 guess 1 can stand the
raise" This little incident is only
given to show how the mill has been
made to pay, and that if a disinter-
ested board of equalization valued it
at $4,000 it ought certainly to be
cheap at $4,000 now. A consider
able portion of the stock has been
subscribed already. Men who are
careful of their finances and prudent
in their investments have taken
stock in it, and it is to be hoped that
this effort to start up the enterprise |
will not fall through. The shares
are placed at 500 SO that men of
small capital can take stock in it, |
and it is duty that BRENNAN owes
to herself to see this plant is not re-
moved from our midst or allowed to
stand here idle, an advertisement of |
stagnation, indicative of our ap-
preaching decay. The oil mill, in
the opinion of the BANNER, will pay a
handsome per cent on the purchase
money the first year it is run.
Messrs. VIM. Perry and Harry
Haynes were out Monday soliciting
subscription to the capital stock, the
proposition being that of 100000,
$4,000 is to be used as an opera
ting fund, only 25 per cent of the
subscription to be paid when the
company is formed. The enter
prise is fast Undertaking.. Every
body appreciates its Importance to
the city and surrounding country,
and it is believed by some that it's
stock after the first season will
commend premium and be anx.
.ously sought as an investment.

GRESHAM WILL WAIT.
His Friends Agree 20 Help Harrison Ia


1892.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 24--An impor-
tant agreement has been entered into
between the Indiana friends Of Judge
Gresham and those of President Harri.
son, by which the former have prom.
ised to cease their opposition to the
presidents denomination and the lat
ter are TO lend their influence to
Gresham in 1896. The Gresham men
have come to the conclusion that their
favorite cannot be nominated next
year and that their opposition Is being
used by Rlaiue's friends against Har-
rison, while there is no sympathy
whatever between Blaine and Gresham.
In a recent conference of the Gresham
leaders this phase of the question was
discussed and il was seriously proposed
that the opposition to Harrison should
cease. 1t was intimated that the Har-
rison men were willing to make terms
that would be advantageous to
Gresham, and several of the most
prominent were sought out and con-
suited. 1t was then formally agreed
that the Gresham men should offer no
iurther oppositlon 10 narrlson anu tne
administrationists pledged themselves
not to offer any opposition to a solid
delegation from Indiana for Gresham
in 1896 One reason given by the
Gresham men for this course is that
Gresham does not belong to the high
protective wing of the republican
party, and that it would be impossible
for him to run on platform that the
party will make in 1892. His friends
believe that reciprocity will be the is.
sue in 1896, and that he could consist
emily run on that platform.

Coming Back Home.

HURoY, S. d., Oct. 20.-Receipts of
household goods and immigrants mov-
ables at this point over the Chicago
and Northwestern railway, are larger
than at any time for four years past.
Many families who left their farms be.
cause of crop failures are returning
and bringing other homeseelSers with
them. The fine crops the past season
has turned the attention of eastern
people in this direction, and the out
look for large immigration the COM
ing spring is better than for several
years. Those who are now coming saw
others will soon follow. There is a
lively demand for improved lands
either on lease or purchase The indi-
.cations point to a rapid occupancy Of
he vacant farms in this locality, and
an increase of thousands of acres of
crops the approaching year over that OF
the past season. Seed is cheap, land is
plenty, and farmers will cultivate every
acre possible.

After speaking, Colonel Jolley was

house in the Dakotas where he taught

house. with picturesque scenery about
it, makes a gem of a picture. It was
