The Aberdeen News says it does not
look for an immediate building of the
road to connect Minneapolis and St.
Paul and Aberdeen with the Black Hills,
but it has faith to belieyc that it will be
built just as soon as there is a revival of
railroad building. This faith is founded
on knowledge of the resources of the
country through which the road would
pass and the immense traffic it would
command from the moment the last rail
ia laid

Baron Rothschild, the great fnancier,
says there will be more chance to make
money in the United States during the
next five years than in any other part
Of the world. We hope the Baron does
not base his opinion upon the probabil-
ity of the continuous periodical issue of
government bonds during the period
named, in which event the Rothschild-
Cleveland syndicate would doubtless
hold the edge, and get away with the
lions share of the profits.

THE KILDoNAS MILL.

The kildonan mill at Pluma is near
ing completion. and in a few days the
ponderous machinery will be ready to
m0ve by the stroke of the powerful en-
gines. The building is finished, the
machinery is in place, with the excep-
ton of few minor parts, and the i'm
mense stack would have been finished
yesterday had the weather remained
favorable. This stack is eighty feet
high, and 100000 brick were employ
ed in its construction. 1t has been a
perilous task to work on the top for the
past few days, as it reaches to dizzy
elevation. The gentleman who has
been experimenting its erection went
to the top Yesterday morning TO begin
work, but the snow and wind were most
too severe, causing the great tower to
sway several feet, and made it too un-
pleasant to work. There will be no
more heavy machinery to handle, as the
last of the roasters are ready to start up
and the other machinery has been up
several weeks. This mill was we'll
planned. as in its construction every
thing has moved with clock-like pre-
cision and the structural portions and
machinery were in position almost at
the same time.-Pioheer.

WHY IS THE NEGRO BLACK!

If the conclusions of M. Jauffert,
the great French scientist, are to be
relied upon, there is no reason why
the skin of an African should be
blackand that Of the Scandinavian
OF milky fairness-that is to say,
there are no apparent causes for
this wide variation in color. Jauf-
fert says: THE skin of the Afri-
can negro is Of exactly the same
anatomical structure as that of the
fair-skinned, faxen-haired Morse
man. 1t may also be shown that
in the mucus layers Of the skin Of
dark-complexioned whites, pigment
cells similar to those found in the
Negroes skin are developed in
exactly the same way as in
the blacklist African. Moreover.
freckles are Of the same nature as
the blackness which has suffused
the entire skin of many of the
tropical barbarian tribes

Poles, Hungarians, Bohemians and
Croats, the characteristics of which
are portrayed in the following
anecdote:

quartered over night at the house
of peasant.
In the morning after they had
resumed their march the Crotian
remarked:

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and trul.-
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effeCtually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

The Cost Of a Pound Of Poultry.

The Cost of n Pound of Poultry.
The cost Of n pound of poultry meat
depends very much on the mode Of
management and the food used, the
same as with any other class Of stock
1t Is well known that the yield Of milk
from a COW Is regulated by the extent
and quality Of the pasture and the
amount Of grain consumed The cost
Is not estimated upon the amount Of
food, but by comparison with the re-
ceipts from the products. No certain
quantity Of food can be estimated as n
daily allowance for the reason that
something depends upon the condition
Of the fowls If warmer shelter Is pro
vided In winter, of course, the cost will
be lessened, as smaller amount Of
food will be necessary for the creation
of animal heat The hens must first
warm themselves before they can be
productive, and the food must be regu-
lated to fit the requirements. 1t is es-
timated that each pound of poultry will
cost 5 cents, but there may be mlsman-
agement which will cause the expense
to amount to double that sum, We are
all willing to allow n maximum cost
provided there is a good yield of eggs
from the flock, A flock that pays moth
ing entails total loss. If Il hen should
lay two eggs each week In winter she
should more than pay her expenses. -
