Fargo Argus: Oct. 10 John lurking
ton brought load of potatoes to Fargo
and sold TO his grocer at 35 cents; other
offers were as low as 80 Aug. %. the
day the new tariff bill came into effect,
Fl. Is. Chapman sold his load TO the same
grocer 1T 80 cents. That was the price
then. Farmer Taylor representing
s. Il. Hall & Co. commission men,
Minneapolis, was in Fargo, Aug.
% buylng potatoes Of farmers, pay
ing them 80 cents per busAel and the
grocers were all paying that price. A
few days later he received a telegram
that importa,ions from Canada under
the new tariff had broken the price and
that day the price dropped 20 cents per
bushel. He renamed, however, few
days longer, paying 35 cents Sept. 20,
and that is the highest price since paid.
The republican protective tariff saved the
market at higher prices Tor American
farmers. The democratic-populist
policy gives it to Canadian farmers at
lower prices. Had the democrats and
populsls let the tariff on potatoes alone
John Tnrkin gton would have received sc
more than he did for his forty bushel
load OF potatoes, and had they not in
creased the tax on su gar he could have
bought six pound more OF sugar Tor 81
than he could buy to day for a dollar.

Too Clever by Half.

Most persons go frequently from
one end of the city to the other with
out having the slightest adventure or
observing an incident worthy of note.
Not so, however, with an uptown
youth, who has been sleeping himself
in the literature of Gaboriau and
Conau Doyle. To his superheated
Imagination the most commonplace
persons he encounters on down
town trip are invested with romance
and engaged in some dark intrigue
or diabolical plot. He does not hesi-
tate to interpose decided objections
when he thinks the game has gone too
far. Recently his chi7alric intentions
were severely chilled while riding on
q Fifteenth street trolley car. He
noticed that a gentleman who arose to
leave the car had first adroitly alb
stracted parcel from the basket of
lady in the next seat. The youth
stopped the man abruptly and point
ing to the lady's basket ordered him
to put the parcel back. The couple
only smiled at him in great astonish-
ment, and the lady remarked: "He
is my husband, sir. The amateur
detective also left the car.-Phila.

tarsius. It is, indeed, a weird, strange
animal, and is regarded with SO much
dread by the superstitious Javanese
that they will abandon a place alto
gether rather than live in its neigh
borhood.
As it suddenly appears at dusk NOV
ing noiselessly about, showing its
queer face amid leaves of some tree,
and peering down upon an intruder
with its immense, staring, yellow eyes,
it is o most unearthly looking animal,
reminding one more of the gnomes
and imps of fable than any creature
of flesh and blood. It makes snug
little home under the roots of the
giant bamboo canes of Java, where
the husband and wife, who are never
far apart, bring up their queer little
families.
They are very dainty animals and
always make sure that their food is
fresh and good by killing it them
selves. They will touch nothing that
has been partly eaten. They live upon
small lizards, of which they are very
fond, but will eat shrimps and insects
if nothing better is to be had. They
never drink a second time from the
same water. The tarsius seldom makes
any noise, but sometimes gives
single sharp, shrill cry which
it does not repeat. During the day
it is always fast asleep, but at night
appears quite lively, springing about
and climbing everywhere. tbs easily
tanned, and is very gentle, loves to be
caressed and petted, and in return it
licks the hands and face and creeps
about the person of its owner.
When O stranger draws near its cage
it tries at first to stare him out of
ccuntenance by fixing its great, owl
like eyes upon his, and never winking
or moving them away. If this does
not answer, and the intruder continues
to draw near, the tarsius will draw up
its lips and show set of beautiful,
regular, sharp teeth, but it never
bites. 1t laps water like dog or cat,
but much more slowly, and it eats
great deal for 80 small an animal. 1t
has a great aversion to light, and loves
the darkest corner, where it will sit
up like squirrel, and hold it's food a
long time in it's forepaws before eat
ing it.
Some animals have swiftness, some
have strength, some cunning, and
others are clad in coats of bony mail
to protect them from their enemies;
but the only defense with which the
tarius is endowed, and it seems to be
efectual, is it's strange, weird appear
ance and staring eyes. Our Animal
Friends.

Chinese Fighting Powers.

The fighting powers of Chinese
militia, when armed with modern
weapons, is evidenced by the frequent
repulses and defeats which the French
suffered during the campaign in Ton
quin, the last being that of General
Negrier, near Lang-Son, nine days
before the Franco Chinese treaty of
peace was signed, and when the French
army of occupation in Tonquin had
been raised to 100000 men. These
Chinese troops were merely levies
from Yunnan, Kuang-tung, and
Kuang-si, and not part of the 15O,-
900 who had been trained by European
officers in Northern China.
The total army of China at that
time, including 600, 900 militia, known
as the Green Flag Army, scattered
through the various provinces, was
said to be about 100000 men. In
time of necessity this force could be
largely increased. The following
quotation from an author who had
experience with General Gordon's
"Ever- Victorious Army" shows China
men are admirably suitable for SOL
diers.
"The old notion is pretty well got
rid of that they are at oil cowardly
people, when properly paid and eff.
GENTLY led; while the regularity and
order of their habits, which dispose
them to peace in ordinary times, give
place to a daring bordering upon
recklessness in time of war. Their
intelligence and capacity for remem-
bering facts make them well fitted for
use in modern warfare, as does also
the GOODNESS and calmness of their dis
position. Physically, they are, on
the average, not 30 strong as
Europeans, but considerably more so
than most of the other races of the
East, and on q cheap diet of rice,
vegetables, salt fish and pork, they
can go through 8 vast amount of
fatigue, whether in a temperate
climate or a tropical one, where
Europeans are i'll fitted for exertion.
Their wants are few; they have no
caste prejudices, and hardly any ap-
petite for intoxicating liquors.

He is of Mexican breed, and of the
variety that never sheds hair for the
reason that he never has any to shed.
The dog in question was born three
weeks ago, and there were two others
born at the same time. In the three

A Feminine Lawyers Club.

The Portia Law Club, of San Fran
cisco, was founded by women, its
members being all of the same sex.
The holding OF a membership does not
necessarily indicate any intention to
practice, the members generally de-
string rather to increase their knowl-
edge sufficiently to make them self
reliant than to make business of it.
The club has dean, registrar and
faculty, and will, whei completely
organized, have capital stock, shares,
admission fees and regular dues &C
cording to the plan observed in similar
clubs managed by men. Such marked
success has attended the affair since
the idea was first broached that there
can be little doubt of the Portia Law
Club becoming a permanent institu-
tion of the leading city of the Pacific
Coast. 1t is the intention to invite
from time to time eminent lawyers to
deliver lectures before the members,
and Mrs. Clara s. Foltz, the dean

Heroic Cure for LeprosT.

A singular fact in connection with
the disease of leprosy is that, although
this terrible scourge has stalked
abroad throughout the known world,
and has gathered it's thousands of VIC
Tins since the earliest historic times,
still, under the searching glare of the
light of modern medical science, nc
sure and complete remedy has as yet
been discovered.
A curious custom in vogue about
thirty years ago among the FIJI ISL
anders was well known in Australia at
the time, says the St. Louis Poet-Dis-
patch. It seems the natives were wont
to endeavor to cure the victims of
leprosy by the smoke of the sinugaga
(excoecoria agallocha).
Not even those who have been poi
soned by handling the deadly juice Of
this deadly plant could form any ade-
quate conception of the tortures en-
dured and the heroism displayed by
Fijian, who voluntarily submitted him
self to trying the cure of his leprosy
by the smoke of the sinugaga. The
patient, usually already half dead with
the ravages of the fearful malady, as
q last resort, was taken to an empty
house and stripped of every article of
clothing. His skin was rubbed all
over with green leaves and then bur-
led in them. A fire was then kindled
in the centre of the room and few
pieces of the sinugaga wood laid on it.
As soon as the black smoke began
to rise the leper was bound hand and
foot, and rope was fastened to his
heels, by means of which he was
drawn up over the fire, with his head
about fifteen inches from the ground.
The door closed. his friends retired a
short distance, and the victim was left
to shout, and cry, and plead, while
suffering from the dense steam and
smoke. He was often left thery to en-
dure this agony for hours, until finally
he tainted away.
When his relatives considered it
time to interfere, the fire vas removed,
his entire body scraped from head to
foot, and gashes cut into the flesh,
from which blood poured in streams.
He was then lowered from his uncom-
Portable position and laid on mats to
await the result.
In many cases 1t meant life and
restoration to health, but in some
cases the constitution was not vigorous
enough to endure the terrible ordeal,
or the disease had gained too strong a
hold upon the sufferer and death re-
leased him from his tortures.
