THE UHIRLING DERYISH.

Those who have visited the wonderful Wild West show that Buffalo Bill has set up in south Brooklyn have been fas- cinated by a strange spectacle. When the Arabs come out to do their turn" whrling dervish takes his place on small platform and with arms out teetering motion. The tawny sons of the desert do feat after feat of strength and agility. They hop, skip and jump, form human pyramids which exceed even the pictures on the bills and they make most astonishing moves. The spectator is bewildered by their skill and ingenuity. Their performance lasts perhaps fifteen minutes, and during it all the strange whirling dervish keeps silently and steadily whrling, oblivious of the crowd, oblivious of the antics of the Arabian athletes, oblivious of the applause, and oblivious of all save his own strange and monotonous task. When the looker-on takes his eyes away from the main spectacle they rest al ways on the graceful whirler, whose ability to Whirl seems limitless. He does not falter or fall, but whirls and whirls and whirk until it seems as if he were an automatic whirling machine | and not a thing of flesh and blood with muscles which tire and with endurance that has a limit.
 When we read the ever esteemed Palladium yesterday morning it struck us that it is the whirling dervish o1 Connecticut journalism. It has beer steadily whirling during the whole o1 the political circus which has been go ing on during the last few weeks. l, has whirled around with great zeal ant look at it, and we should think it would
 be so dizzy itself that it couldn't con
 tnuc to whirl. The sight is a fascinat
 ing ono but it is also somewhat painful and eXcitcs a wish that the performance
 feel obliged to whirl any more. Bu
 there is no doubt about the quality O
 the whirlins. It beats anything eve
 seen in these parts.

In the 100000 million acres of land on that reservation there are not 10000 that count as waste. The rest Is all uprIrulturaI, timber or mineral land, And such farms as it will make! Even Cnmas prairie though it has wheat crops averaging forty-elght bushels to the ucre, cannot show so good soil as the reservation can, The Indians have nearly all selected the land they mean ln hold. The township lines are run
 and they measure the subdivisions by pacing, II is mistake to think they ure taking the best farming land. For ty acres is all an Indian ever cares to cultivate. For ihe rest they want land that contains springs or running streams where they can hunt n little and fish and loaf great deal. The Indians showed me where the railroad has been surveyed, The first plan was ia run direct from Lewiston into the Cnmas prairie country. This proved impossible on account of the mountains. Then q survey was run up the Clear water valley. following close by the river to the north fork, where 1t swings out into the great prairie. The road will make n line timber country accessible.

such bits will prove useless, but the most favored garniture in the autumn dresses is galoon, which is shown in great variety. The Ornamentation of the jacket bodice in the costume pie tured is composed of embroidery of gray silk and steel spangles and looks very rich and handsome. The fitted plastron laps over under the loose jack ct front, the fronts being let into the side seams and leaving double revers, the upper one and the standing collar being embroidered to match the plas- tron. The full sleeves are plain and a narrow black velvet belt fastens in- visibly on the left side. The material is gray peau de soie, and the plain skirt is very wide and laid in godet pleats in back. It is lined with faille and has stiffening in the bottom.
 As if it were not bad enough to be compelled to button gaiters and gloves without having to stop right in the street if a rain came up, and button the hem of gown, the dressmakers are coming forward with a walking skirt which turns up all around the hem and has buttonholed band at the edge which adjusts the skirt to row of buttons set on the outside. If they will only arrange it so that the gown may be made permanently buttoned the observer will be spared the anguish of thinking the skirt really is short one. FLORETTE.

 HE DEIEG iIIJS.

The delegates 10 the Republican State convention are about all chosen, and from now on the guessing and the ly- ing will be livcllcr than ever. Among the delegates are | number of the "old stagcrs." but the convention will con tain an unusual number of men who have not figured in politics. and who therefore cannot be placed" by the wise men. It looks to us as if the active and genuine interest in the prelmi- nary work has resulted in the choice of delegates who cannot be led around by the nose and who will act as they think best for the party regardless of the bosses, and especially regardless of inc lobbyists. If this is so, and if there is to be q new deal it will be a good thing for the party however much 1t may disappoint some of those who have felt that they were the party.
 Between now and the day of the con- vention the delegates will have a chance 10 realize how important they are They will find that they have many sincere friends whose friendship they have not hitherto known much about, and they will be made to realize that there are a large number of gentlemen who have the good of the State very much at heart. They will learn that all ! the candidates are of superhuman eX- | cellencc, and that each is better than all the others. And when the great day comes they will we hope, all vote ac- cordng to their honest convictions without regard to trickery, or any kind | of bribery.

Tn, Thoreaus As Peneii-Makers.


 Most people who care about Thoreaus writings will recall the brief sketch of his life which Emerson wrote us an in- introduction to Excursions One para graph especially.in the prefactory essay set me wondering. I could not sec the least reasonabeness in 1t. It reads as follows: His (Thoreau's) father was manufacturer of lead-pencils. and Henry applied himself to this craft, believing he could make better pencil than was then In use. After completing his experiments he exhibited his work to chemists and artists in Boston, and having obtained their certificates to It's excellence and to its equality with the best London manufacture. he re- turned home contented. His friends con graduated him that he had now opened his way to fortune. But he replied that he should never make another pencil Why should I? would not do again what l nave QOne once.
 When was in Concord the other day was interested to learn that a con- siderable number of the old Thoreau pencils had recently been brought to light, and were for sale by a Concord dealer. A few years ago a gentlemen living in Concord had six or eight of them in his possession, but some one .k@I1 ht yrrnc posed that there were no more in ex- istence. Not long ago. however, an old country mechanic died near Concord, and the miscellaneous truck which had been collected in his house for half a century or more was sold at public auction. Like so many of the New Eng land mechanics of a generation ago, he had been somewhat of a genius in his way. It is said that he invented the screw propeller-only with eight blades instead of fourth the days when noth- ing but the side-wheeler had been thought of. But that is neither here nor there.
 Tucked away in an old desk that had belonged to him, Concord dealer in antique furniture and curiositiesdiscov- cred a bundle of the Thoreau pencils, all of them unused. When they were put up for sale. he bid them in for little or nothing I am told, although there were several other men present who would have been glad to secure them had they noticed that they were of the Thoreau make,
 The pencils are rather coarsely made compared with the ordinary sorts ir use to-day. The wood used is of light reddish color, apparently cedar, and is merely varnished, not colored. The lead: are square, and in some of the pencils are larger at one end than the other I noticed in one pencil that the woot had been split apart in the filling, bu the two pieces had been neatly glued together about the lead. It showed thu economy with which the business hat been conducted. They are about half al inch shorter than the ordinary "Faber. Faintly stamped on the side of ever! pencil is the label J. Thoreau & Son Concord. Mass.," followed by the mum Der of the lead. The only number I saw were and 2. No. 1 was a! most as large as an primary blue pen cil, and No. was hardly bigger thel the pencils which are 50 commonl. tied to dance orders.-(Boston Herald.

4 NEW USE FOR THE SWfLL RO

4 NEW USE FOR THE SMfLL BOY.
 A new use has been found for the
 small boy, and we call attention to it in the hope that it and he may come together wherever there is need of such
 union in this region. The ambition
 of the small boy to climb and hunt and slay has been shrewdly taken ad-. vantage of by the Genesee Valley Forestry association, an organization described as private in character but public in spirit. In the city of Roches- ter, New York, the shade trees have been greatly injured by caterpillars. The Forestry association thought it would try the experiment of offering a. bounty to the schoolboys of the city for caterpillar cocoons. The experi- ment has been a shining success. The prizes inspired great activity and energy among the school children, and

At the rate at which the Grand Army lost members last year it would take only about ten years to disband the or ganization. TEe gross loss in member ship was G7,S01 which is reduced by &C., sessions of 39. 661 to a net loss of 2S, 40. There were practically as many mem- bers dismissed on delinquent reports as were mustered in, and more than twice as many suspended as were re- instatod. Taking suspensions delin- nuencics and discharges, honorable and dishonoraDle together, and nearly 53,- GOO out of the G1,0oo lost members are accounted for. Only 72A3 or less than 2 per cent, of the total membership died during tho last year. The total membership is now only 3696S3, as against 397 223 a year ago. This is the smallest membership reported for many years.
