In the selection of books. Only standard

science, economies, social problems, the
best fiction and travel make mp the great
er part Of the LIST, which never descends

great deal more good than stacking them

ON Libby hill, o tall bluff rising from
the James river, whence there in q SPLEEN
did panoramic view of the surrounding
country, it is observable for q consider
able distance.
The pillar is composed Of Is massive
stones, representing the IS Confederate
states, and the capital Is handsomely
and artistically carved. The figure is
that of a typical Confederate soldier at
rest, but yet alert and erect. In his right
hand he grasps the barrel Of his musket,
the butt OF which rests upon the stump
Of q tree beside him. His left hand
clutches the strap of his canteen, which
hangs at his hip. His rolled blanket
crosses his breast from left toright, and
there is a belt about his waist. He looks
intently forward, as IL ready for any
emergency that might arise. a.
The statue was designed by William
l. Sheppard of Richmond, and the cast
ing was done in New York. The cost of
the monument was mainly betrayed by
popular subscriptions raised By d COM
mittee of 100 prominent Virginians,
though the city council of Richmond do
mated the site and contributed Is, 900 to
the fund. and the stats legislature made
an appropriation Of Ss, 200 Tor the Vir-

Low PRICES.
If you have been renting a
house in the city, stop a moment
and think how much you have
paid out in rent, and if you have
been renting long you will soon
figure out that you have paid out
enough for rent to build as good
or a better house than you are rent
ing, and still you have no home of
your own. Why not put this
money into

in which you will feel a natural

pleasant home for yourself and
family in your declining years. A
little energy on your part will do
it. Start at once bv

a moment what you are paying out
annually for rent and how soon
this rental would buy a farm here.
What you pay out in rent in two
or three years in Iowa or Illinois
would buy equally as good a farm
in South Dakota. Stop renting
and come out and buy a farm of
your own and feel the independ-
ence Of

Don't delay this until next year, as
very much advanced prices for
South Dakota real estate, which is
sure to come, will soon prevent you
from buying, and your o~pportuni-

We own and control nearly all the

you only have a few dollars to

we will fit you out with a good lot,

The story is related of a bishop who
came to one of our state prisons and
was told: mo need of you here, sir.
We have eight preachers safely locked
up who are brought out each Sabbath
to minister to their fellow-prisoners
If this. appear a doubtful tale, it can
be varied with the following about n
young lady Sunday-schoo1 teacher who
has class of rather bright boys, aver
aging between seven and nine years.
Recently she requested each pupil to
come on the following Sunday with
some passage of Scripture bearing up
on love. The lads needed the request
and in turn recited their verses bear
ing upon that popular subject, such as
.sLove your enemies" Little children
love one another etc. The teacher
said to the boy whose turn came last:
"Wen,- Robbie. what is your verse?"
Raising himself up, he responded:
'sSong of Solomon, second chapter,
fifth verse: Stay me with fiagons,
comfort me with apples, for am
sick of love.''

and the hours of weary travel are

champagne, as n rule strict decorum
is observed by all aboard when the last

There is good deal of mawkish SEN

deaths, and it sometimes happens that
the speaker inadvertently selects a
funeral party whose members had no

Made of Rushes and Hung on Poles in

The water-fripged village of Grouw,
in Friesland, north Holland, is re-
marlable for two ings-cbeese and
ducks. The lakes which fringe the
village on three sides are thick with
bulrushes and water grass, and afford
excellent cover for wild ducks and
other aquatic fowls. To promote the
comfort of the former and at the same
time facilitate the collection of their
eggs the villagers construct nests made
of. plated rushes, and hung on poles
driven into the soil or perched between
the forks of trees. Above each coterie
the owner of the nests fixes pieces of
colored cloth, which enable him to
readily distinguish his nests from
those of his neighbors. These bits of
bunting are useful also to the birds;
who invariably keep to their own
nests. The owner goes each morning
in his boat to the nesting ground,
thrusts his arm into the bottle-shaped
nests, and collects their contents for

Flight of the Swift.

AS to the speed with which the mi
grafton flights. of birds are accom-
plished, Canon Tristram, in the British
ish Association, quoted Herr Gatke as
maintaining that godwits and plovers
can fly at the rate of two hundred and
forty miles an hour. DIR. Jerdon had
stated that the spine-tailed swift, roost-
ing in Ceylon, would reach the Hima-
layas, one thousand miles, before sun
set. In their ordinary flight the swift
was the only bird the author ever
knew to outstrip an express train on
the Great Northern railway.
