Monday morning just at the time
imam, poor man. was theorizing on
what difference it would make in
1900, if this new woman movement
continued-while lie was gracefully
swaying his body back and forth to
the rhythmic sound of a washing ma
chine-the fire bell tapped, and the
department was summoned to the
dwelling of, B. d. Milan, on east
third street. By the time the fire
companies had reached the scene,
however, Mr.. Milan, assisted by
neighbors, had put the fire out. 1t
had caught from the kitchen stove,
the heat exploding a can OF gasoline.
Some windows were broken out,
curtains burned, and the walls and
ceiling of two rooms were consider
ably blackened. The damage was
mostly to walls and woodwork, and
was covered by insurance.

Huronite.-Dr. Blackburn, of Pierre
spent two days in the Rec Hills,
southwest OF Miller, last week, gath
ering fossils and mineral specimens.
Upon the highest point OF the hills is
a chalk bed. Through this ledge

vestigation will he made into it's
properties, He considers the find of
considerable scientific Importance.

The wife of a farmer in Hughes
county recently had a serious and
peculiar accident from which she may
lose her life. She run into a single
wire fence her husband had put up
without her knowledge. An exchange
describes it: Mrs Hoy, not know
that the wire was there, came riding
up at n good, speedy gait and struck
the wire diagonally OF the side of the
horse which she was riding. The.
wire first struck her across the limbs
and lacerated them frightfully above
the knees, and as the horse proceed
ed the wire rose up and caught her
across the abdoman, cutting three
terrible gashes clear across, at the
same time tearing the clothing from
her body. This is a most terrible
accident, and it seems her recovery
is impossible"

Highmore Herald IT has been
suggested by some of our citizens

The question of irrigation by
means of artesian wells is obtaining
more prominence this year than for
some time. AS upon all questions
the minds of some men run counter
to each other. Some think it is just
the thing and others don't. The
PRESS at present believes that irriga-
ton only to>a limited extent can be
made successful in this section, but
the PRESS has believed for years that
every township in Hand county
should have one or two ~artesian
wells, for the purpose of having
an abundance of water for stock,
filing up the draws, lake beds, etc.
This much we know is practical, and
general irrigation may be.

An Appeal to Housekeepers.

From what evils do we need to guard
these young women Tour servantsl?
From bad companions, from evil sug-
gestions, and from possible insult and
contamination. In order that our adj
vice and restrictions should protect
them we must enter into sympathy
with their youth and natural longing
for society, aud we must remember that
our rules of social etiquette are not
always the same as theirs. If we pro-
hibit the visits of bad men and women,
we must allow and encourage the Wis
its of good ones. If some pleasant
young fellow is calling on Edith in the
parlor we cannot consistently say that
the temperate, hard working Michael
shall not come To see Bridget. We
should take pains to ascertain the
young mans good character and re-
spectability, as with our daughters
friends, although such inquiry must be
made with great tact and discretion.
As to going out in the evening we often
wonder why girl is not content to
stay at home and sew, when we should
rather remember the tedium and con-
finement of the days work and should
encourage her TO seek fresh air and
friendly faces outside. There are evils
that work in darkness, il il true, but a
quiet-mannered, self-rcspecting woman
seldom meets with harm; and if she
goes To her home, or to visit respectable
friends, the gain to health and cheer
fulness will far outweigh such slight
risk. And since quiet modest man
ner is so great a protection TO every
woman, let our maids have a good ex-
ample in our own families. Let them
see us train our daughters to soft voices
aud gentle movements let them hear
us criticise the loud laughter, the for
ward manner, or the selfish careless
ness of the ill-bred woman in every
station of life. Such indirect criticism
is often the most effective. This is the
mission work we mothers and house
keepers can all do. Tied to our homes
often by little children, by limited
means or by poor health, we may not
be able to attend meetings or visit for
the Associated Charities, or even sew
for an orphan asylum; but we can
make sure that no girl ever passes
through our homes without learning
something useful, without seeing house
work respected, without the glow of a
kindly interest and the felt influence
of right view of life and its duties.
Is not this motive sufficient to make Us
abolish all the unnecessary restrictions
of domestic service and add all the rea-
sonable and possible attractions to 1t in
our homes - Christina GOOdicjR az the
| d,,gifst Forum.

more than four inches square.
The prisoners were in a condition

was known i'm every town.
Mails travelled at the rate of thirty or
forty miles day in summer, and half
that rate in winter.
Travel up and down the Hudson
was generally suspended in winter
time on account OF the ice.
When a man had enough tea he
placed his spoon across his cup TO in
dicate that he wanted no more.
The firepIaees were adorned with
tiles brought from Holland and Orna-
mented with Scripture subjects.
Leather breeches, checked shirt,
a red flannel jacket and cooked hat
formed the dress Of an artisan.
The letter and the envelope were
single sheet of paper, 30 folded as To
bring n blank page on the outside.
Postage was paid in money, and
the amount was endorsed on the out
side of the letter by the postmaster
Cravats were unknown, their places
being supplied by huge stocks that
reached from the shoulders to the ears.

To Pack a Picnic Basket.

art Of preparing a picnic luncheon
which is palatable has achieved great
success, but she who has learned how
To pack the luncheon when it has b., n

In the ideal hamper there are no

which fit into each other have been

room. There are no crumpled napkins

tains a set of japanese paper napkins
and a tableclOth to match, all costing
less than washing of the linen articles.
These are dainty and inexpensive.

they may be stained with all varieties

crustless and dainty should be covered
with oiled paper and packed in another

put in an egg dealers box, with paste
board compartments, to keep the eggs
apart. Sugar, salt, pepper, mustard

Fruit and cake may occupy different

strained and sweetened lemon juice
should bc carried in a bottle. The but
