InartistiC wdiru.

Often we find every sort Of curio,
from the horrible and grotesque to the
realistic, arranged in reception and
family rooms. OF course where space
Is limited II must do the best one can,
but, all the same, there are many bits
Of bric-a-brac that would be much more
agreeable if less prominently exhibited.
To tumble Indian, Chinese, Japanese
and all manne of articles into one
place, and in such close proximity that
they continually elbow each other, is
like colonizing the different sorts Of
people under one root and compelling
them to live there. whether they will or
no. The incOngruity, after a time, be-
N painful, and it seems as though
in their own way the articles would
quarrel with n another AS violently
as would the human specimens of the
same species We're they thus crowded in
together.

important Rate Case.

\ highly important case has just been
decide at Sioux Falls. Hickey 81 Nc
Namara. wholesale liquor d@e'ierS, ordered
a ear Of Soaona wines and brandleS ship
ned from California. They were to come
by way of Sioux Falls Junction, a Iout
sixty miles east OF Slouv Falls in Mlune-
sofa. The iatc to the junction is the same
as that TO It. Paul, l2) miles away over
the same Inc that ONE to Sioux Falls.
The rate from Chalifornia to the jun"jon
is - cJ hts irr 100 for wine and 80 cents
for brandy, and, though the road was viii
ling TO caIr II on to st. Paul for nothing,
il wanted to charge in addition the local
rate to Sioux Falls of % cents per 100 for
wines and - cents for brandies. The
firm brouaht SUIT to replevin on the ground
that the demand was extortionate.
After an entire day spent in argument
by the most prominet attorneys Of that
city Judge Jones decided that the matter
came properly under the head of inter-
state comm rec and he had no juriSdic-
ton. THIS IS regarded as all important
precedent. rs there has been widespread
controversy among attorneys over the
point. TIE plaintiffs will appeal to the

Keeping a Canary Bird,

1t is essential for the good health OF
a canary bird to keep the cage perfect
ly clean and streWn with fresh gravel.
Fresh water for both drinking and
bathing should be given every morning
and during the moulting season Il bit
Of iron kept in the drinking cup is excel
lent. Never hang the cage in a room
without a fire. but on mild days the bird
will be greatly refreshed by the air
from IN open window. Tho cage should
never be less than eight inches in diam
eter and twelve in height. 1t should
have perches at different heights. The
canary, which is the usual house bird.
thriveS during the winter on a diet Of
small brown rape seeds, obtained dur
ing the summer, and occasional slices
Of sweet apple. Occasionally a few
poppy or canary seeds and Il very little
bruised hemp seed may be added.

The Terrible COckatrice.

The explanation of the origin Of that
remarkable organism, the cockatrice,
leaves nothing to be desired as regards
accuracy of detail. We are told that
when the cock is past I years Old an
egg grows within him. whercat he
greatly wonders" We can we'll mag
inc the dismay of any well-conducted
masculine bird Of that age on finding
himself in such a compromising pre-
dicament: but how did he communicate
his feelings to the histories? That the
embryonic cockatrice had some mys-
teriOus power of self-advertisement is
evident, for we hear further hat "a
toad privily watches him and examines
the nest every day to see if the 9 be
yet laid. When the toad finds the egg
he rejOices much, and at length matches
it, bringing forth an animal with the
head, neck and breast Of a cock, and
from thence downward the body of a
serpent w Review.

Father and Son Shot.

one OF the boldest crimes ever known
IN thls state was committed twenty miles
northeast OF Sioux Falls on Monday night.
-Four masked men entered a farm house
and shot Andrew Erickson and his young
son. The boy will die, but the father may
recover. The boy snatched the mask
from one of the men and recognized HIM.

IN bed in an upper room We're too fright

berry or murder was the cause is unknown.
This is the fourth incident of this kind il

Another account, from ~Flandreau, says
That a dastardly attempt was made to roI,
and murder the family of Andrew Erick-
son, a highly respected farmer livin4
twelve miles south OF the CITY. Three
masked men entered the house and de-
manded OF Mr.. Erickson his money or his
lie. They were refused and the gang
opened fire. \ desperate struggle for life
then ensued and Edward. the oldest son,
received three bullet wounds, which it is
thought are mortal. The father escaped
with a scalp wound, from which he viii

A very curious description Of Baby
lon found in q manuscript OF the four

a city" says the author. rich in
the gifts of the ages, safe from disease
and distress, where all faces are joy
Gus, and where the three holy rivers
flow over costly stones, some of which
dispense n beautiful light. and others
give health and strength. There is the
emerald. brighter than a mirror; the
jasper, which preserves from poison:
the garnet, which casts out demons
and destroys serpents; the diamond,
which can only be affected by the
blood of kids; the topaz, which %ives
it's own color to all it approaches: The
coral, which wards off the thunder
bolt: the hyacinth, of the color of the
day. that cures all diseases; the mar.
garita, formed of dewS; in Il word. ev-
cry precious stone that possesses mi
raculOuS virtue" How these exquisite
specimens of natures handiwOrk came
into existence is a question difficult
20 answer We know Of what they ar
composed. but, if we except the pearl,
we know nothing Of the process by,
which they arrived at perfection; this
is a problem which must be left to fu-
ture generations to solve.
1t has been proved that the materials
of which precious stones are made are
of the cOmmOnest and most plentiful,
"and yet" says an old writer. W
think the very heavens concurred with
the earth to their 'commiXion,' and 50
the sun left part of his light shining
in them The diamond, which is so
d~azzlingly bright and so pure. is in real
ity nothing more or less than pure cav
bon; the ruby and the sapphire are
composed almost entirely Of clay; the
emerald of sand or silica. while the
pearl is formed of carbonate OF line.
This would strike us as most Wonde"-
full if we did not remember that out Of
the dust of the ground God made man.
whose beauty and value are far above
the diamond and ruby. \ French writ
er says: 1T would seem as though the
mighty creative and organizing power
had chosen to manifest its omnipOtence
by producing its most valuable sub
stance from the most ordinary ele-
mentS." Think of the combination Of
circumstances required in the forma-
ton of these beautiful crystals to give
them the necessary transparency, bril-
liancy, luster and exact amount of coli
oring matter for the desired tint, to say
nothing of their freedom from flaws
and defects. Another circumstance Of
great interest about precious stones is
that they have doubles SO like them
selves that it is difficult for the I'M
trained eye to detect the difference. and
yet the one is of great value, while the
other has little or none III comparison.-
