A Drcssmaking Trade School.

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
A trade school for girls was opened last
week A school where woman may be
taught, in six months, the principles of a
lucrative trade, where she may learn to cut,
haste and sew a gown. without spending her
childhood as an errand girl, and her youth in
trying to gain knowledge. There will be one
term of six months; the morning hours given
to the theory and practice of 1ressmaking,
the afternoon to advanced sewing and draw
ing. To the latter girls too young or too
ignorant to begin dressmaking will be adj
mitted, with the other pupils, on payment of
s12. This, with the expectation that they
will ultimately enter for the entire course.

Shepherds Crook.

There was a look of thought upon her
face as she came down Broadway, but it
was soon apparent that the thought did
not concern itself with the present, for
she started into II tobacconist's when she
meant to go to the florists, next door, and
she offered IL policeman who helped her
over a crossing her hand and bowed Jelly
to all acquaintance whom she meant to
greet cordially. Then she went into Il
store and began looking at silks.
II want to see some crook silks in brown
and gold" she announced.
"Crook silks!' said the clerk. II don't
believe we have them"
ooh, yes, you have! l see Them" she
said impaticntly. shepherds crook, I
meant"
The clerk looked puzzled, and the young
wOman scowlCd.
"Therc they are!' she said, pointing TO
q shell of fine checked silks.
"OhT' exclaimed the clerk. Shepherds
plaid, you meun?"
And the young woman blushed violently
and admitted that she did.-New York
Recorder.

Those Mill

The are no new developments in the
legal status of the North Dakota Milling
association difficulties, so far as reported,
but it is learned that Negotiations are un-
Ger way to reconcile the differences be-
tween the two factions Of stockholders
and agree upon the appointment of a
receiver in order that the mills owned by
the association may be started up again
and earning a revenue of the large
amount of money involved instead of
eating up the capital in interest, charges
and useless litigation. This will be
good news to the people of towns where
the mills are located, and to the large
tributary country from which the mills
draw their supplies of wheat, Which
when the mills are running at their full
capacity averages 10000 bushels daily.
In all cities where mills are located quite
a number of families are directly interest
ed in the mills running for the employ
men: the association furnishes. It is to
be hoped chat the negotiations now under
way for the amicable settlement of the
difficulty may be consummated.

IDENTIFYING the Men.


Auditor Moorhouse and Deputy Treas
urer Falconer have identified the three
men, W. Il. Leonard, B. H. Freeze and H.
E. Freeze, now held in the county jail,
as three who have on one or two &C.
c~asions sold wolf. scalps at the county
auditors Office. This is the second posi-
tive identification of the men, the other
having been made by the Stutsman
county officials.
From all reports, it appears that Leon
ard is the plotter and leader of the
schemes and the others are simply tools.
Leonard is said to have been the cashier
OF the trio, and is now in possession of
the profits of their dealings. Reports
has it that South Dakota has suffered
from the same scheme with which North
Dakota was worked, to the June of some
thousands of dollars, and 1t is probable
that after working this state for all it
was worth, Leonard contemplated going
to Wyoming, ae a newspaper clipping,
detailing the profits of wolf hunting for
bounty in that state, was found in his
pocket.

during which they made a discovery of a

little else than oyster shells according to

from the county line. The base of the

feet is divided and forms two peaks each
100 or more feet high, is about three

THE "CEREMoNlous DINNER.
A Brief Bes.nt Essay Holding One or Two
New Points, .

A Brief Bes.nt Essay Holding One or Two
New Points.
Dinner above everything illustrates the
conquest of the savage. sBut dinner as
served 80 or 20 years ago presented points
IN which h conquest vas incomplete.
Thus men had to carve the food on the ta-
bic. This led to shame and misery and the
exposure of incompetence. Besides it left
the door wide open for talking about food.
Moreover, though men no longer ate as
much rs they could, they still drank as
much as they could.
In Illustration Of this history, can any
one tell me, asks Walter Besant in the
London Queen, first, when the custom of
putting the wine glasses, reversed, in wa.
ter glasses was abolished? Some one, I
take it, was struck with the uselessncss
and the cumbrousness of the custom and
boldly swept it away. Second, when were
people first paired off? Formerly the host
took the principal lady, and the rest fol.
lowed as they chose. Third, when were
the names of the guests written on cards
in their places? Fourth, when was dinner
first carved off the table? 1t was some time
in the sixties. The dinner so served was
called, if l remember rightly, dinner a la
Russo, and there was a great deal Of oppo-
sition to it. But common sense and handi,
ness prevailed.
My correspondent informs me-a thing
which l did not know-that when dinner
was all put on the table at once there used
to be IL set number of dishes, according to
the numbcr of gucsts-e. g., S to 10 guests;
hence the expression, Covers were laid
for SO many" The "covers" were the GOV
cred dishes. And, she adds, when we speak
of ladies taking four glasses after dinner
VIC must remember that the glasses were
very tiny. Big glasses, she thinks, came
in with the temperance movement, SO that
a mar could declare honestly that he had
taken only three glasses. P%erhaps-the
temperance movement has much to answer
for. l I'M reminded Of a certain under.
graduate in ancient days. He was in train.
ing for the boat races. Like the rest of the
crew, he was put IN an allowance Of one
glass of port a day. The day before the
race it was discovered that he had c~raftily
caused to be made a wine glass which held
a pint and Il half. And to this single glass
he rigidly confined himself.

CHINESE CARVINGS.
Artistic Ornaments Cut Out of Nuts and
TIM Fruit Stones.

The most curious objects which are
made subjects Of the carvcr's art in China
are the various nuts and fruit stones.
Among the latter class may be named the
stone Of the olive, plum, peach, cherry,
and of the former the most common are
made upon the shells of walnuts and cocoa
nuts. These seeds and nuts are collected
with great care and carefully cleaned and
dried before being taken to the carver, who
has an invariuble standard of size, proper
ton, weight, hardness, etc. When every
detail has been carried out to the satisfac-
ton Of the artist, Il nut or seed is selected
by the designer, who roughly traces upon
it's surface an outline of the future picture.
This is handed over to apprentices, who
block out the design by cutting through
the ligenous tissue along the lines drawn.
The crude carving is again passed to the
designer, who sketches a second and more
intricate series of outlines, when it again
goes forward to the subordinates, who cut
out tho indicated channels. After this the
designer gives the object its finishing
touches, and the assistants prepare it for
market by polishing, oiling and waxing
the carvings. These nut and fruit stone
carvings are shown in the shape of buttons,
watch charms, sleeve links, earrings and
brooches. Collections of them strung Oh
silver, copper or gold wire are also used as
bracelets, a~nklets, necklaces, ~rosaries and
official ornaments.
The carvings represented upon these seed
and nut ornaments are frequently of IL
very high order of conception md display
much of the c%arvcr's cleverness and dex-
terity. The writer has seen single cherry
seeds upon which were plainly and arts
tically outlined a dragon, two crickets, ~
corntiowcr and a bunch Of grapes. On the
larger seeds and nuts are represented en-
tire trees and their fruits and leaves, vines
with leaves, flowers and vegetables attach
ed, as we'll as buildings, bridges, towers,
temples and fences. Among the second
group, which are usually composed princi-
pally of animal figures, the horse, lion,
tiger, elephant, camel and bull are most
generally represented.-St. Louis Repub-

McElroy's Toast.

McElroy, the young colored soldier
who has been boarding with Sheriff
Taylor for a few months, was 20 year
old last Saturday, and inscribed a poet
ical toast to his boarding place, whicl
isn't at all bad, as follows:
4 INC take my walks abroad;
am under lock and key:
And much the public I applaud
For their kind care of me.
The honest pauperi in the street,
Half naked, I behold:
Whilst l am clad from head to feet,
and covered from the cold.
Thousands there are who scarce can tell
Where they may lay their head;
Bot I've q warm and well-aired cell,
A bath. good books, good bed.
While they are fed on w%orkhouse fare,
And grudged their scanty food,
Three times a day my meals l get,
Sufficient, wholesome, good.
Thus, to the American public, health,
Who all our care relieves:
And while they treat them as they do,
They'll never Want for boarders!
