The bicycle Hand.

At last the long-expected objection
has come! The pastime of bicycling by
ladies, out OF which they have derived
so much health, enjoyment and amuse-
ment, has been repeatedly assailed
with view of turning its devotees in
to another channel of occupation. So
far, however, by the spirited enthusi-
asm by which the craze has been taken
up. all these assaults have proved I'M
successful. However, there is admit
teddy some danger of acceptance in
the last objection which has been adj
vanced. There is q decided artfulness
in its promulgat ton, and lady bicyclists
taken unawares, might be disposed in
consequence to look for the first time
with some askanse Mt their new play
thing. We allude to the allegation con-
corning the "bicycle hand" Ladies
are now being warned that "the bicy-
Gle hand is thing of ugliness and
horror forever" The distinctive feat
ures of this hand are stated to be that
sit becomes flattened, bulges out at the
sides, gets lumpy and out Of shape,
and the fingers all become crooked"
and all these dreadful results are due
to the habit of clutching the handle Of
the machine. But, after all, assuming
this terrible allegation to be true. what
does 1t matter. Let women cultivate
health and the ways that bring health,
and the men will value them more for
SO doing, despite the fact that the re-
suit may be little loss In the graceful
outlines Of the female figure, owing
merely to some healthful increase in
the muscular tissue.-Lcndon Medical

More Land.

Over a million acres, more than for
ty-five townships, are in process of
subdivision to sections in the state
this year by government surveyors.
Several corps are ut work in the re-
gion between Fort Stevenson and
Minot. Here is where the greater part
of the work this year has been done.
In the estate of Stark" north and
south of Dickinson, ten townships have
beep subdivided. A good deal of set
Element has taken place in this district.
The land is inside of the Northern Pa
cific indemnity limits and the subdivi-
sion of the land into sections has lain
practically with the railroad that has
evinced no haste in the matter. How
ever, the settlers went in and at pri-
vate expense secured surveys and
squatted until they could file. In but
few cases have they made a mistake
and settled over the line on the rail-
road lands, and then but q short dis
lance. Some of these settlers located
there a number Of years ago. About
thirty-five townships were subdivided
in the state last year.

State Crop Bulletin.

state crop Bulletin.
The latest crop bulletin says: Wealth
er conditions decidedly unfavorable
for crops. The week opened with q
high temperature and an absence of
rain, which was Of advantage to har-
vest and It was progressing very ia
vorably. These conditions prevailed
up to Tuesday, when severe storms
occurred, accompanied by high wind,
heavy rain and hail, continuing two
days and creating havoc in fields Of
ripened and unmatured grain. In
Barnes, Cass, Dickey, Grand Forks,
Kidder, Nelson, Ramsey Richland and
Stutsman counties the greatest damage
was caused by hail. Whole fields Of
grain have been entirely wiped out and
many acres Of early wheat ruined. In
several counties including Burleigh,
Logan and Walsh, hail caused more or
less damage. 1t is estimated that at
least one-third to 0ne-half Of the crops
are ruined, many fields previously
promising fair yield are being plowed
up. High winds have caused grain to
lodge badly, and heavy rains will have
an injurious effect on late sown grain,
causing rank growth of straw and re-
tarding ripening. Harvest considera-
bly, interrupted by wet grounds, some
matured fields not being touched. Sec
lions not visited by storms are I'D
vanced in harvesting and some stack
ing is being done. Threshing will
commence this week on small scale.
Haying about completed and the crop
is the largest in years. Potatoes anA
gardens greatly benefited by resent
heavy rains. & 3S.. s. .s:3
