The Northwest Magazine for Novem-
ber, a copy of which has just been re-
celved, is of special interest to North Da-
kotans, and may fairly be termed one OF
the best issues of that popular monthly
yet published. Col. E. V. Smalley, the
editor, treats the publio to an exhaustive
review of the resources Of this state,
dwelling especially upon the advantages
of that portion which he visited during
his last trip west. The leading article,
relating principally to the immense wheat
crop harvested this year, is supple
mented by a series of descriptive letters
from various cities and towns. Superb
illustrations adorn almost every page Of
the paper.
The general view of jamestown, taken
from Capital hill, is an artistic and faith
full piece Of work. Another creditable
cut shows the asylum buildings and
grounds to good advantage, and third
presents very natural view of the roller
mills in this city. Portraits are also
given of DR.. o. w. Archibald. Capt. s. X.
McGinnis, b. S. Russell and Senator
Casey. The latter is accompanied by
very readable article on Earning in
North Dakota" from Senator Casey's
pen. Brief biographical sketches of the
four gentlemen are printed, and Stuts-
man county Genes in for clever write.
up in connection with its county-seat
and chief city, Jamestown. Sheep-rais.

the varied industries of this section are

way facilities are not overlooked. A
chapter on tho financial condition of the
and an extended allusion to the
city's educational and religious interests,
cannot fail to favorably impress the east
ern reader who may be seeking new
home IN North Dakota.
Besides the views of jamestown, many
other illustrations appear. Fargo is
noticed with two general views, and

City, and the Kelley institute at that

The other day a blithesome young
man made wild rush up the stairs at
the brooklyn end of the bridge to catch
a train which wasn't there Among
those who noted that ne looked pale and
nervous after the effort was a man with
a sympathizing face, and he walked up
to him and said:
Young man, you ought to know
better than to rush up stairs like
that Have you got palpatation of the
hearth"
"N-no. sir
You look as white as a sheet and arc
trembling all over, Any of your family
ever die of apoplexy?"
I'm all right, replied the young
man as he edged away.
Il dunno about that. Shouldn't won
der if you hadn't come mighty nigh
bursting a blood-vessel or something.
Let me feel of you pulse"
II tell you I'm all rightr' protested
the young man.
''You may be, but what makes you
look so pale and scared? Something is
wrong somewhere
The young man beckoned him aside
and held a brief whispered converse
ton without any gestures, and the
other suddenly smiled, nodded and ex-
claimed:
OH see! Busted your suspenders.
and are now walking on the bottoms Of

BaIzac ON Color.

Balzac, the French author, says that
a woman's character finds expression
in her favorite color. 4 woman who
prefers orange or green gowns is, he
thinks, quarrelsome. Those who sport
yellow hats or who go clad in black
without cause are not to be trusted.
White should indicate coquetry. Gen
tie and thoughtful women prefer pink.
Pearl-gray is the color of women who
consider themselves unfortunate. Lilac
is the shade particularly affected by
overripe beauties; therefore, according
to Balzac, lilac hats are mostly worn
by mothers on their daughters mar
riage day and by women more than
forty years old when they 90 visiting.

An Instance of Striking Intelligence in n
Dog
| recently witnessed the following
little incident on the Thames, near
Twickenham, when the river was full
of land-water, and therefore very swift
and dangerous: Two dogs-one a large
animal, the other a little terrier-were
enjoying a swim near the bank; but
soon the little one was carried out some
distance and was unable to get to shore.
BY this time the big dog had regained
the shore. and seeing what was hap
pening TO his companion. began run
ming backward and forward in the most
excited manner at the same time whim-
pering and barking, and evidently not
knowing for the moment what to
do. The terrier was fast losing
strength, and. although swimming hard,
was being rapidly carried down stream.
The big dog could contain himself no
longer. Running some yards ahead of
his struggling friend. he plunged into
the water and swan vigorously straight
out until he got in line with the little
head Just appearing behind him. Then
/ he allowed himself to be carried down,
tail first, until he got next to the ter

/ cleverest manner, and began to swim

nearer and nearer to the shore, which
was gained after a most exciting time.

But IL Is Not often 2 Quality of Royalty.
The following anecdote. sent us by
our Berlin correspondent, is said to have
been related by the ear himself to in
innate friends. His elder brother, who
died at Nice, was, asis generally known,
first betrothed to Princess Dagmar of
Denmark. On his death-bed he left his
brother, the present ear. letter IN
which he begged him to take his place
in the heart of the princess. The Grand
Duke Alexander, however, was a very
bashful love- and had not the courage 10
carry out his dying brothers last wish,
till one day the Grand Duke Vladimir
said to him: IF you win not fulf the
wish of our dead Nicholas, / shall pro-
pose for the hand of the princess my
self" short time after the Grand
Duke Alexander set off to Copenhagen,
and one day, being alone with the
Princess Dagmar, he handed her
tremblingly the letter of his brother.
When the princess read it she blushed
and said: Il also received a letter from
Nicholas, in which he begged me to be-
come your wife. Alexander asked to
be allowed to read the letter. The
princess fetched it, and together they
read it. The sequel was marriage
