Artesian Wells.

During the year 1891, one well in
Huron, South Dakota, poured forth
S75, 700, 800 gallons of water. Some
thing over 1000, 900 tons. One little
well like that would answer the fire
demands of fOrty-three such cities as
London. This well by careful official
measurement is 81 inches in diameter,
s62 feet deep, is 1926 feet above the
sea level, pressure 40 pounds to the
square inch, and It's flow 1868 gallons
per minute. 1t spouts with great
regularity drought sixty minutes
every hour, twenty-four hours every
day and 365 days in the shortest years.
Moreover, there are four such
Spouters at Huron and immediate
vicinity, and at least six more are
under way. There are about 100 like
wells in the Jim valley, with every
likelihood that there will be not
less than 1000 within twenty
months.

The Resolutions of The Equal EtxnSs
association.
The South Dakota Equal Sufragisss
in convention assembled, adopted tie
following resolutions:
Resolved. That we, in convention
assembled, do reassert our earnest
conviction that taxation without
representation is tyranny: that the
acknowledged moral influence of
woman be erystalized into enfran-
chised citizenship: thai tie life
givers of the nation should also be
~law-giyers.
3. That as the laws OF South Da-
kota provide that women may vote
for school district officers, and as
education is the peculiar province OF
mothers, we urge that the legislature
be petitioned to provide fsr the cleo
tion of state and county superinten-
dents of public instruction at the
June school election when township
district officers are elected, instead of
at the general election.
3. Inasmuch as certain tribes OF
the Sioux Indians have been admitted
to citizenship and exempt from taxa
ton for twenty-five years, we declare
it an unjust discrimination against
women to compel them TO pay taxes
while denied citizenship.
4. That a bill be presented to the
state legislatdre, asking for muni-
cipal Suffrage.
5. That we put ourselves upon
record as opposed to the resubmission
of the question of prohibition to the
people of South Dakota.
g. That we m >st heartily approve OF
the candidacy of Mrs. Mary A. Lease
to be United Gates senator from
Kansas and trust the friends of equal
suffrage will use all honorable means
to secure her election.
I. That the marriageable age OF
girls should be fixed at eighteen years
instead of fifteen years as provided
by our statutes.

We are all talking of and praying for

patty remarks: "When we take our
time from the sun of righteousness,
our hands will point men to the right
time Of day. We cannot be right
with one another until we are right
with God" Oh! the ~follies, the per-
secutions, that men have been guilty
of when they have undertaken TO reg
ulate other mems beliefs and con
sciences according to their W falli-
BILE standards. Let US each agree
with God then we will with each
other, but never till then. Bcecher
once said: ''There are two ways in
which a clock may be made TO keep
time. One is to go to the hand and
pull it round five minutes, and then
in five minutes go and pull it round
again, and keep moving the hand
round on the dial five minutes at a
time until the twelve hours are
~passed--by which time you will be
tired of the operation. The other
way is to wind up the clock. There
is an active force inside of it, and if
you wind it up and start it, it will go
of itself and keep going. Now can a
man be helped in any such way as
that? Must a man, all day long, say
to himself, may say that? No
must not say that because it is wrong.i

Leicester.
When the King manuel, eternal,
enters the castle of our souls, the
clocks of s%infulness, selffshness,
covetousness, pride, envy, revenge,
ought all Of them to be stopped at
once and stopped forever. The
Hindoo places a clock in his show
rooms, not because he ever desires TO
know what the hour is, but because
a clock is a foreign curiosity. We
do better now than the Hindoo for
we use them to give us the time of
day, but let us do better henceforth
than ourselves, and use u clocks
both as keepers of time, and
preachers Of righteousness.

JokNNE KoERTEN's WORK.
A Little Dutch Girl and Her Really Won.
der Scissors.

More than two hundred wears AGO a
little girl was born at Amsterdam. in
Holland, WHOM named jeanne Koer-
ten. She was a peculiar child in that
she cared nothing whatever for play
and sport, but found her greatest de-
light in making copies Of things about
her, imitating in wax every kind Of
fruit, and making on silk, with colored
floss, exact copies of paintings, which
were thought wonderful, says Mary
Wager Fisher in Hide Quake.
But after she had become very ae-
complshed in music, spinning and
embroidery she abandoned all these
things for a still more extraordinary
art-that of cutting. One is seized
with establishment in looking at her
work, for all that the engraver accom-
plishes with the grayer she effected
with her scissors.
She executed landscapes, marine
views, flowers, animals and portraits
of people of sush striking resemblance
that she was for a time quite the won
der of Europe.
She used white paper for her cut
tings, placing them over a black sur
face, so that the minute openings
were made it formed light and
shade"
The ear, Peter the Great, and others
paid her honor. One man high in
office vainly offered her 1000 ilorins
for three small cuttings. The compress
of Germany paid her 4.00J horins for
a trophy she had cut, bearing the arms
of Emperor Leopold. crowned with
eagles and surrounded by a garland of
flowers. She also cut the emperOr's
portrait, which can now be seen in the
royal art gallery ia Vienna, A great
many people went to see her and she
kept a book in which princes and prin-
cesses wrote their names. After she
died, which was when she had lived
sixty-fiye years, her husband, Adrian
Block, erected a monument to her
memory and had designed upon it the
portraits Of all these titled visitors.
Her cuttings were so correct i'll effect
end so tasteful as to give both dignity
and value to her work and constitute
her an artist whose exquisite skill with
scissors has never before nor since
been equaled. So both her art and her
monument were unique and have kept
her memory green" for % nearly
Two hundred and fifty years.

GUTTED by FIRE.
The Philadelphia Ledger building Dam
aged to the Tune OF = 100. @

aged to the Tune of ST5O.O0O,
The Public Ledger Building was
almost Quilted by fire on the evening
of the 9th inst. The damage was CON
fined almost entirely to the compos-
ing room, but a torrent Of water
flooded every floor in the structure.
The cause Of the fire was unknown.
II originated in the basement, and
through the air shaft quickly spread
to the top floor. The files of the
paper were all saved, ana many rare
and costly articles in Childs' private
Office. Mr.. ChildS arrived soon after
the fire started and posting himselt
across the street watched the build
ing burn. He assumed charge Of
affairs and issued directions in the
way of providing for the issue of the
paper next day. While the ifemen
were at work they were urged to
greater efforts by the announcement
that Childs intended to distribute
$1,000 among them for their prevent
ion Of the total destruction of the
building. When the IRE was
axtinguished Childs provided them
with bountiful refreshments at a
neighboring restaurant. With the
exception of the presses the Ledger
has a complete new plant on Locust
street. During the fire Childs was
rendered the use Of tile presses ,ofefefy
daily and weekly paper in the city
and accepted the Records offer, The
business manager of the paper
said that the Ledger's total loss is
estimated at s150,0C0, including $780,
900 on the building and $50. 600 on tile
contents. The less TO tenants is
$4,000. The presses and machinery
were only damaged to the extent Of
s25. 900. Repairs on the building viii
be commenced at once.
