The Sofas.

The Sofas, whose raids led to the disas- trous Anglo-French collision in the Niger region, are curiously mixed people. When their king, Samory, conquers a town, the young and strong are incor- porated in his forces, the weakly being sold, so gradually all the negro races of the Soudan are represented in his bands. The Sofas heads are partially shaved, leaving two or three very long tufts of hair. They wear 8 jacket and very short trousers, iron rings on the arms and sundry fetiches-grigris-as orna- ments. They are regular black brigands, active, excitable and bloodthirsty. The chiefs get themselves up in theatrical brigand style, and all wear spurs fas- tened to their bare feet. They are splen- did horsemen and deck out their steeds gayly with beadwork and fetiches.

Liszt's Influence.

The influence of LisZt on the destiny of the piano was immense. can best com pare it with the revolution brought about by Victor Hugo in the mechanism of the French language. This influence was more powerful than that of Paganini i'll the world of the violin, because PaGanl- nj dwelt always in an inaccessible region where he alone could live, while Llszt, starting from the sdme point, deigned to descend into the practical paths where any one could follow who would take the trouble to work seriously. To play like him on the piano would be impossi- ble. As Olga Ianina said in her strange book, his fingers were not human fin gers, but nothing is easier than to follow the course he marked out, and in fact every one does follow it whether he knows it or not. The great development of sorority of tone, with the means of obtaining it. which he invented, has be- come the indispensable condition and very foundation of modern executlon.- Century.

You can address in strictest confidence,
 LYDIA E. PINKHAM MED. CO.,, Lynn, Mass.

sence had she known that one of the dreaded sepOys rode in the slime car with him all the way to the metropolis, and that both were shadOWing the unsuspect- ing young man.
 Regarding Nichman and Lugro, they doubtless gave up the attempt to recover the rajah's ruby after the defeat of their last effort Their fitness for the ex- traordinary part they played was proved by the consummatc skill with which they prepared the letter, when the only specimen of Fairchild's writing obtain able was his signature on th" register of the Astor House. They probably re turned to India with httl" delay, for their deeds laid them open to prescott ton, and they had nothing to gain and much to risk Ev remaining in this cOun- try.
 The raiahs ruby was sold for q round sum to one of the leading jewellers ill New York city, while the large dia monds formed part of the ornaments worn bv Hiss Glider at her wedding. which took Tl&Cc a few months later.
 The remarkable gem from India, we believe, found its way back to England. where it was finally settled in the pos session of one of the titled families, from whom it could not be purchased for the price of a kingdom.
 Miss Antoinctte Livermore was rid ot the gem and pest at last Despite the horrible evils that were threatened to any owner who parted with it as she had done, nothing of the kind has as yet be- fallen her. On the contrary, her health has steadily improved until today she IS certain that she is better physically than she has been for many years.
 The moral of which is that we who are not the owners of wonderful dla- monds, rubies, pearls md precious stones should congratulate ourselves rather than envy those who are burdened with their possession.

How "Barley Sugar" Received Its Name.

How "Barley Sugar" Received Its Name.
 Barley sugar appears to have been so called because formerly, in making 1t, the practice was to boil up the sugar with decoction of barley. Common water is now more generally used. Saf- iron is sometimes added to give it a brighter amber color. Some say the word is derived from the French term hule (burnt) barley sugar, simply mean- ing burnt sugar. This does not appear to be the correct explanation.

The total vote of Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Massachusetts, New York, Iowa
and Nebraska for 1898 was 3,701 1882
OF this the Populist vote was l34,O30
or 3.6 per cent. OF the whole. By
States their per cent. was Ohio 1.9,
Pennsylvania O.9, Massachusetts 1.8,
Iowa 5, New York IA, Nebraska &c.
In this last named State, the only one
IN which they are a perceptlble factor,
their vote fell off as compared to 1892,
some l7,468. These are the figures
the Pops. rely on to elect their can
didates in 1896. A very thin diet to
feed to hungry office-seekers.

Substitute for Brick and Lumber.

EDITOR WATCHMAN.-Ive We been
thinking how much better | should
like Dakota if | had a more comfort.
able house to live in, if my horses and
mules, cows and sheep, poultry, &c,
had more comfortable quarters these
cold wintry days, and | presume many
farmers in Sully county could say the
same. These facts have set me to
thinking some plan by which we
might much improve our condition.
Lumber is too expensive to think of
making much Improvements with it,
bricks are out of the question. [ be-
lieve there is abundance of material
cheaper and better within reach of
almost every farmer in Sully county
sand, gravel and rocks. In the region
of the Missouri, the Okobojo and the
Medicine great quantities of sand and
gravel can be found almost anywhere,
with cement they form most excellent
material for building purposes. The
sand and gravel are obtained without
money and the cement costs but a
trife, as am going to show. 1t does
not require skilled labor to build with
these materials. Any farmer can do
the work. The proportion of material
is one of cement, two of sand and
nine ofgravel-by measure. A barrel
of cement then will make forty cubic
feet of wall.
Suppose you wanted to build a
granary 2Ox2O feet, eight feet in hight
you have six hundred and forty feet
of surface. Now make deduction for
doors and windows and it falls con-
siderable below SIX hundred feet, but
call it six hundred. Now if your wall
is eight inches thick, and that is thick
enough, you have four hundred cubic
feet of wall, requiring ten barrels of
cement. But cement is very dear. |
hear some one say. Well 1t does re-
tail from $3.50 to Sc 90 per bbl. Sup
pose we do as business men do. join
together and get it in bulk, by the car
load lots. | am quite confident that
it can be had for $l50 at the depot.
then the cement for your granary
would cost $500, while you are get
ting get another bbl for floor. No
sills, no sleepers, NO studding and nc
pine floor. The whole concern is fire
proof, water proof and storm proof,
and the longer it stands the harder it
becomes. Now least the Editor should
throw this into the waste paper baske,
on account Of its length, | would say
get the sand and gravel while you have
nothing else to do and may be Pll tell
how to mix the ingredients and put
them together at some future time-i'
is very simple and easily done.
