The greatest days run of an ocean
steamship was about SIS miles. The
steamer in question was 562 feet, long
and had previously been known to
make 500 miles per day for three days
in succession.
The average length OF life is
greater in Norway than in any other
country on the globe. This is
attributed to the fact that the TEN,
perature is cool and uniform through
out the year.
Horticulturists tell us that the
orange was originally a pear-shaped
fruit about the size OF the common
wild cherry. Its evolution is due to
1000 years of cultivation
The Gar of Russia is the largest

-Four different peaks in the
mountains of Idaho are from thirteen
to twenty-three feet lower by actual

to explain the ''why" of their settling.
C~aterpillars from six inches to a

The natives twist them together and

Travellers who have tasted this

On Tuesday, August 30th and Tues
day, September 9th, 1892, agents of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
R'y Co., in northern Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, eastern Iowa, eastern Minnesota,
and in Missouri, will sell harvest
excursion tickets to points in western
Iowa, western Minnesota, South and
North Dakota, at half rates, and the
tickets will be good for return passage
within twenty days from date of sale.
These excursions are intended as
opportunities to enable farmers,
mechanics and merchants in the
eastern states las well as in the sec
tions above specified to see the wes-
tern country, and thereby induce some
of these people to become settlers
among us. If every reader would con
yey this information to all their
friends in the east and encourage
them to take ad~vantageof these cheap
excursion rates, SO that they can visit
the west without mourning much
expense. If each reader would induce
one friend tocome west, ii would not
be very long before the whole country
would be settled by the best c~lassesof
eastern people, and all kinds of BUSH
ness would be benefited. Will you
lend a helping hand?

waves which nothing else tried

waves which nothing else tried
would do.
Many dams are already built on the
creeks and rivers of Minnesota, Wis,
consin and Michigan, but the waters
stored are used for floating logs.
After the log drivers they are not
used again until the following spring.
Why not make use of them in sum-
mer, where possible, for irrigation?
The bitches would cost but a small
amount in many instances. While
many men and women are farming,
some making money and some only a
living, they could all, with irrigation,
be doubling their income. Several
vegetable and strawberry gardeners
in Wisconsin, Minnesota and the
DakOtas water their crops, some with
small bitches run from wells over
which are windmills. The gardeners
know that the water greatly benefits
the crops, but do not think that they
are ~irrigating. If the grain and hay
fields were treated in the same way
the same results would be found.
Fifty-three bushels and twenty
pounds per lei was the yield of
wheat last year on an irrigated farm
near Huron, while the crop on
adjoining land was almost a failure.
This is but one instances among
thousands with which the writer is
familiar. j. 7. MCWILLIAMs.

Hicks Say About the Weather.

Hicks says that July will come in
very warm i'm the Western half of
the continent. A storm period is
central on the first, and storms may
be expected, here and there, the
first two or three days of the month.
On or about the 9th a very warm
wave will develop, and in its east
ern progress many reactionary storms
may follow. Very warm weather is
to be expected from the 18th to The
10. All storm clouds appearing
about the 18th, 18th and 18th should
be carefully watched, as dangerous
deyclopements are liable TO appear
at any hour. About the 10Th the
thermoemter will rise very high
again, and secondary storms will
travel from east to west, being in
transit about 18th to Goth. A warm
wave of marked intensity will spread
over the country during the period
beginning the 22nd and reaching tc
the Goth. The 9th and Goth are
named as central danger days. The
month will go out very warm with
storm EXAMINATIONS central on the
31st.

When They Missed II.

Detroit Free Press: 1t was their
first baby. The young mother was in
a perfect rapture. 1t was al ugly
baby, but she did not know it.
Happy young mother! All of them
are like her. But the father had
dark misgiyings. His salary was only
sl5 per week, and babies are expensive
luxuries. Her father was rich, but
he had frowned upon their union, and
had heterodox and heretical notions
as to supporting a son-in-law besides.
Cruel old man! One day, when the
baby was about a month old, the
father came home from his desk and
found his wife radiant. She was
even happy when the baby was out OF
her sight. "What is it, Jennie?'
asked her husband, gloomily, for Inc

conferred by the baby. He was also

A Minnesota Paper says That South

Minneapolis Times: South Dakota
will lead the procession at the harvest
festival of the states this fall, accord
ing to present. indications. During
the drouth season it suffered probably
as much or more than any other state,
but the moisturedlring the,past win
ter and summer eaSOn so far has been
very heavy. The precipitation has
been such that the old lake beds are
all full, the streams are filed and the
sub soil has been saturated to the
depth of many feet. Last year the
rainfall vas fair, and with the soak
ing received this year there is a reyi-
val of the oid-U1me confidence in the
future of the state. The soil is such
that no amount of rain can well pre-
vent the crops from being put in,
since any of its land can be worked
a few hours after the most drenching
rain. There is a large increased
acreage over last year, and according
to all reports the crop will be enor-
nous all over the state. A small por-
tion of the state, a part of the James
river valley, suffered from drouth
even last year, but this year all
through that extensive and fertile
valley the crops are said to promise
larger results than were obtained
eight or ten years ago, when they
were so large as to make that valley,
which is about $50 long by fifty wide,
famous as a wheat growing region.
Lands at a time, when wheat was
high, went up to higher figures than
was before ever known in a new coun-
try, but with the partial failure of
crops there was a subsequent decline.
Now there is a demand again for
James river valley wheat lands.
Many parties from the east are now
seeking them. Lands are advancing
rapidly, and South Dakota seems to
be entering upon an era of great pros
perity.

Unique Commencement Exercises.

For several years past county super.
intendent Bras of Dawson county has
made it a practice to hold annual
commencement exercises for the
country or district schools under his
charge, that being the only county in
the state where the plan obtains.
The third commencement occurred on
the 18th, and was marked by a larger
attendance than ever before, and the
exercises were of great practical
interest and value. The programme
included a procession of school chill
dren through the street, followed by
an outdoor dinner on the court house
lawn. In the afternoon there were
literary and musical exercises, show
ing that the country school children
were no whit behind their town
fellow pupils in improving the edu-
cational advantages offered them.
Diplomas were presented to a large
class of graduates, and prizes con.
tributed by the citizens and business
men of the town were awarded to the
successful contestants in the various
lines of development.

SATURDAY, July


Here is another story of Mark
Twain. When he got his first position
as a snb-editor on a California paper
his cronies used to swell his record
by giving him exclusive news. One
night a friend brought i'm an account
OF a fatal smashup, and Mark, tickled
with the SCOOP" sent it up without
reading it. Here it is as it appeared
in the paper:
distressing Accident-Last even
ing about eight o'clock as William
Schuyler, and old an respected cit
izen of South Park, was leaving his
residence to go down town, as has
been his usual custom for many years,

which he was confined to his bed by

self as it was, and rendered more
melancholy and distressing by reas, on
of the presence Of his wife's mother
who was there and saw the sad occur
ance; notwithstanding it is at least
likely, though not necessarily SO that
she should be reconnoiting in another
direction when accidents occ or, not
being yivacious and IN the lookout
as a general thing, but even the
reverse, as her own mother is iGiid to
have stated, who is no more, but died
in the full hope of glorious resur-
rection upward of three years ago,
aged Sc, being a Christian woman
without grille, as it were, or property,
in consequence of the fire in 1876,
which destroyed everything she had
in the world. But such is life.
Let us all take warning by this
solemn occurrence and let usend eavor
so to conduct ourselves that wien we
come to die we can do it. Let us
place our hand upon Our hes TT and
say with earnestness and sincerity
that from this day forth we will
beware of the intoxicating bowl"
All that day the people re ad that
"item," scratched their heads and
wondered what happened to good Mr..
Schuyler. The chief editor kicked
the furniture and swore and Mark
took to the woods.

Dakota's divorce mills develop
some astonishing matrimonial
entanglements. Men with two or
more wives are not uncommon. but
a woman with three husbands is a
rarity. The woman in this case is a
Mrs. Vogler, fair, buxom and nearly
40. Husband No Is whereabouts is
unknown. No. 3 is in Sioux Falls
raising cain and insisting on a
divorce, and No 3 don't know whether
his wife is his wife or whether he
is his own husband, or just how he is
fixed for a family. Mrs. Vogler
doesn't care a continental which is
which so long rs she has a husband,
and is wholly Indifferent whether
No. 2 or 3 secures a divorce. Her
chief concern is that the court will
cut all her matrimonial knots and
turn her adrift before she has had
time to skirmish for No. 4.
