It will be seen from this list, that at
the time o. the census, and since, ac-
cording to the Judgment and opinion of
those versed in the value of real estate,
the realty in North Dakota is assessed
for just about one-half of it's value.
Kidder county comes nearest assessing
at the appraised value, being assessed at
$1,200,O0 and valued at at a million and
a half. Mercer tand Mcintosh are as
sessed for only about one.ffth their
value. The values of lands have not
changed much since the gathering of
these statistics, and the assessment each
year is marked by no material fuctua-
ton, SO that according to the census bur-
eau, the state is about twice as rich in
lands as its assessment returns show.

The Stolen, Horse.

A countryman's finest horse was one
night stolen from his stable. lie trav
eled forty-fve miles to horse market
to buy another. But 10 and behold
among the horses offered for sale ht
discovered hls own. He at once seized
it by the reins and cried out:
This horse is mine; aud it was stole!
from me three days ago.
The man who had the horse for sale
said very politely:
You are mistaken about it,my friend
haye had the horse for more than a
year. 1t is not your horse, although it
pei haps looks like it,
The peasant quickly closed the horse 6
ewes with both hands and asked
Tell me, now. if you have had the
horse TOR SO long time, Of which eye is
he blind Z?
The man, who had actually stolen
the horse, but had not yet examined it
particularly, was perplexed. However
because he was obliged to say say some.
thing, he said at random
THE left eye.'
You haye missed the mark said
the peasant. The animal is not blind
of the left eye.'
Oh = cried the man, it was only a
slip of the tongue: It IS Blind in the
right eye
The peasant uncovered the horses
eyes and said :
1T is evident now that you are both
a theft and a liar. Look here all Of
you The horse is not blind at all. I
simply asked in order to bring the theft
to light

Facts About a Watch.

The watch carried by average man is
composed of 9S pieces, and its manufac-
ture embraces more than 1000 distinct
and separate operations.
Some Of the smaller screws are 80
minute that the unaided eye cannot
distinguish them from steel filings or
specks of dirt.
Under a powerful magnifying glass
perfect screw is revealed. The slit
in the head is l 5OOt', Of an incn wide.
1t takes $4,000 Of these screws to weigh
pound, and a pound is worth 1855.
The hairspring is strip of the finest
stee,, about 8! inches lorg, l-lO0Oth of
an inch wide, and 27-l0, ,O0Otns of an
iuch thick. 1t ls coiled up in spiril
form and finely tempered.
The process Of tempering these springs
was long held secret by the few for
tunate ones possessing it. and even now
it is not generally known.
Their manufacture requires grfatskill
and care. The strip IS gauged to 20
l,OOOths of an inch but no measuring
instrument has as yet been devised cap
able of fine enough gauging to determine
beforehand by the size of the strip what
the strength of the finished spring will
be. A 2O-l000ths part of an inch diff
erence in the spring will make differ
ence ia the running of the watch of
about six minutes an hour.
The value Of these sprlngs,when fin
ished and placed ia watches, is enor-
nous in proportion to the material from
which they are made. A comparison
will give good idea.
A tn of steel made into hair springs
when IN watches is worth more than IL!
times the value Of the same weight in
pure gold.
Halrsprings weigh l20th Of grain
to an inch. One mile Of wire weighs
less than hslfa pound.
The balance gives 5'variations every
second, 800 a minute, $4,000 an hour
$4,000 every day, and l57,6sO,0O0 a
year.
At each vibration it reyolves about IA
times, which makes 1877. OO.0C0 revolu
tions every year.
In order that we may better under
stand the stupen1ous amount Of labor
performed by these tiny works let us
make pertinent comparison.
Take for illustration, locomotive
with six foot drying wheels. Let its
wheels be run until they have given the
same number of revolutions that watcl
does in one year and they will have
covered distance equal to % complete
circuits of the earth.
All this a watch does without Other
attention than winding once every q
hours.

The end of the Road.

Twas born way back at the end Of
the road,
It was there my remembrance of

And there l lived, played, worked
and growed;
Just natural like and Just because
/ lived
At the end Of the road!
At the end ofthe road. 1t was much
the same
This day or that-except 1T was
play
When up from the turnpike someone
came,
And just as long as they happened
to stop
And talk
At the end of the road.
III stayed away I was glad to get
10 the little red house, where
mother and dad
And had little world all our. own,
Aud Just as good as anyone had.
Out there
At the end ,of the road.
From my attic window, I've looked
amazed
Hour after hour at the turnpike 8
line,
A yellowish streak, till I>grew dazed;
Wondering where and IN what long
I'd get
At the end of the road.
For where did they come from, the
folks that went
Jogging along the old turnpike?
Aud most all strangers that hadn't
met;
And over the hllls-what was it
like,
Somewhere,
AT the end of the road.
One day me and ma and dad
Started off with the old gray mare
On the longest ride I'd eyer had,
And 1t was almost night when we
got there,

At the end of theroadf
When got up next day and see
The road still winding down.
Twas the biggest world it seemed to
me,
Prom where the end was. through
our town,
Up. home
At the end of the road
I've travelled that road now many a

And I've found some good and

Some up hill and down, and In not

To get

Willingness to allow the fight to pro-
coed. He refused and another person
endeavored to make terms with Secre-
tary Thompson, finally Offering him
81 900 II he would agree not to do any
thing to prevent the fight.
At the time advertised the Company

from both the city and the county, and

ANSWERED WITH A BILL.
Sealing Company Replies to Uncle
sans Claim by Asking &2S3,725.

In the United States Circuit Court to-
day the North American Commercial
Company put in its answer to the claim
of the United States Government for
$3.50, 1880, on account Of alleged breach Of
contract.
The Company incidentally hands in q
little bill to Uncle Sam for $3.50, 725 for
loss of profits arising out OF the Vame
contract which appears to have been
broken into dozen pieces by both par
ties soon after its ratification.
The agreement was entered into In 1890,
and gave the Company the exclusive
right to catch seal about the islands
of st. George and st. Paul, in Alaska.
The United States was to receive an
annual rental of $50, 900, and 76 10 cents
for each seal, and 81 for each skin sent
here.
The Government alleges that the Com
pany caught 1900 seals during the first
year, for which II demands $57,1s7 in
addition to the $4,000 for rent.
The Company says that part OF these
skins were caught by natives and
shipped by the Company, which never
was allowed the exclusive right as guar
anteed in the contract, and Uncle Sam
is offered $l5,000 the amount Of the
revenue, and no more
