SOUTH DaKoTa SHEEP.
II. NJ. Hopkins Talks In~teiiigently About
sheep and Sheep Raising.

#. NJ. Hopkins Talks InteIIigentIy About
sheep and sheep Raising.
+. NJ. Hopkins, of Roscoe S. d.,
president of the Sheep Breeders and
Wool Growers Association of South
Dakota, the strongest organization
OF its kind in America, was at the
Sioux City yards recently. This
association has a membership of 260
and the members W and control
large numbers of sheep.
Mr.. Hopkins came to Sioux City
with three cars of sheep and the
objecrof his visit was to try the virtues
of Sioux City as a sheep market.
In conversation with a reporter
Mr.. Hopkins said: "a great many
of the members of our association are
new to the sheep business and they
are constantly applying to me, as
president, for Information relative to
the tire to market their sheep and
the best market, etc. A considerable
portion of our members live in the
northern portion of the state, and as
they arc on a direct east and west
line the principal shipments of sheep
have hitherto been routed through
the Twin Cities to Chicago. The
more direct route was the only
inducement offered. Boutingour ship
nents that way lead to delays and
did not result as protitably as we
expected. Casting about for infOrma-
tion as to a more profitable shipping
point, | was delegated to visit your
city with a trial shipment. Ny sheep
sold entirely satisfactory and in con-
versation with your packer, Mr.. Ed.
Haakinson, | am assured that the
facilities for handling sheep are
ample and that good muCtOns are
wanted. The railroad rates from all
points in South Dakota are exactly
the same to Chicago via Sioux City as
via Twin Cities. At the Twin City
yards there is no killing market,
excepta mere butcher demand, where
as here yoll have a large fresh mutton
trade. Our association will turn off
10000 to $4,000 mutton sheep between
now and January 1st, 1893, and as /
shall report my sales when Iget home
and | think you may count on receiv-
ing 10000 to $1,000 mutton sheep at
this market within the next sixty
day. A great many of the members
of III association, including the
vicepresident who is feeding 600 sheep,
are waiting now to hear the result OF
my trip

Educating The Indians,

ROYAL r. Stearns, of Pierre, was in
the northern part of Stanley county
last week and while there paid a visit
to the boys boarding school, at Fort
Bennett. which is under the super
vision of Hon. b. F. Mccormack.
Speaking ofthe school Mr.. Stearns
says: Until this visit | had grave
doubts of the success of the educa-
tional policy of the government in
regard to the Indians but now these
doubts are all removed. i heard
recitations at this school that can
not be excelled in any white school In
the state, and | question very much

THE HANDKERCHIEF IN FRANCE.
II Was Not Used in Public Until Within
the Last 100 Years.

The pocket handkerchief has had a
curious history. Until the reign of
the Empress Josephine a handkerchief
was by the French thought so shock
ing an object that no lady would have
dared to use it in public.
The word even was carefully avoided
in polite conversation. An actor who
would dare to use a handkerchief even
in the most fearful part of the play
would have been numerically Kissed,
and it was only at the beginning of
the present century that the celebrated
actress, Mile. D~uchenosis, dared to APP
pear with a handkerchief in her hand.
Being obliged in the course of the
called it "a light tissue"
A few years later in a translation of
one of Shakspeare's plays the word
handkerchief was used for the first
time on the stage amid loud cries of
indignation from every part of the
house.
The Empress Josephine was lovely,
but her teeth were not perfect and in
order to conceal them she usel a small
lace handkerchief, which she raised
constantly to her lips. The ladies at
the court at once adopted the fashion
and handkerchiefs came into general
uaa.

New Treasury Notes.

Perhaps the principal object of the
revision of the United States paper
money is to make the backs OF the
notes more open--that is, less covered
with engraving, SO that the silk hbers
shall be more distinctly visible.
The distinctive paper now In use no
longer has the W threads OF SILK run
ming longitudinally through the note
bat in their place are two stripes, each
half an inch or So, of short red n
blue silk iibers scattered thick!y in the
paper in such manner that they show
only on the reverse Of the bill.
These two fiber stripes practically
divide the note into three sections OF
about equal size, and this feature OF
fiber in the paper is held to be an al
most absolute safeguard against c
cessful counterfeiting. But that Is
ONLY one of several devices employed
to insure the inyiolability OF the cur
rency.
Each note has an entirely separate
design. the work of which is so open
as 10 show readily any error OF an at,
tempted counterfeit, and no portion oil
