Baby Sympnthy.

Mr.. Sully, In his interesting and popu-
lar book on Studies of Children, " devotes
good portion of his attention to the
origin Of sympathy In their hearts and Is
disposed, we think, 10 ascribe moro OF 1t
to imitativencss than we should think
reasonable. For example he tells us the
following very interesting story, adding a
remark, OF which we should question the
truth, that concerns oil such stories
"A baby, aged year and months
was crawling ON the floor. An elder Sis
ter, Katherine, aged 9, who was working
Mt wool mat, could not get on very well
and began 10 cry. Baby looked up and
grunted, ON ON and kept drawing IT'S
fingers down It's own checks, Here 0
aunt called Miss Kntherine's attentit o
baby, n device which merely caused a b
outburst of tears. Whereupon baby }
ceedcd to hitch itself along 20 Kath q
with many repetitions of the grunts Il
tho mimetic finger movements. kathe
fairly overcome by this, took baby TO pr
and smiled. at which bnby began 10 4
its hands and 10 crow tracing this q
the course of the tears down its sist s
checks This pretty nursery picture GER
tainly seems 20 illustrate rudiment OF
genuine fellow feeling. Similarly it IL
hard not TO recognize tho signs of since.c
concern when child Of runs spontane'
ously and kisses the place that IL hurt,
even though IL Is not To bo doubted that
the graceful notion has been learned
through imitation. "--London Spectator.

OF the importer, or OF the wholesale and
retail trade.
No; only this. There was an average
advance OF Il rer cent. in the price OF
wool last year, while there was less than
/ per cent. of advance in the price OF
wooden goods. il our woolen manuract-
urers have not had experience enough
with free raw material, then they will
never get it, OF last years American
wool clip there were io2, ,cOo, 600 pounds
unsold in dealers hands on Jan. 4, 1896.
The value OF the unsold WOODEN goods II
is impossible to arrive at. But it is i'm
finitely more than the demand of our
people, whose purchasing power has been
SO greatly rest ricted since 1893.

PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT.
Secretary McGinnis Enthusiastic
Over the Mitchell Convention

Secretary D. L. McGinnis, of the
Northwestern Immigration association
has returned from Mitchell, S. D..
where he attended a convention held
for state organization of South Dakota
He states that the meeting was one of
the largest and most enthusiastic which
has yet been held for the formation of
state immigration societies.
There We're BOT delegates registered,
consisting of representative people
from all parts of the state Some re-
markable facts We're brought up at the
meeting in regard to the dairying re
sources of that state. One speaker
stated that South Dakota butter has
already made such a reputation for
itself that it brings from one to one
and half cents per pound more than
butter from other states. He gave
facts and figures to Substantiate this
assertion and stated that at a COM
petitive test held at Elgin, Ill, between
the best quality of Elgin creamery but
ter and South Dakota creamery but
ter the South Dakota butter was
frmer and stood better under
the heat test, by nine degrees.
than the Elgin butter This result is
attributed to the superior quality of the
native grasses Of the Northwest.
Equally surprising results were
shown from irrigated areas during the
past year wheat yields from thirty-sfx
to forty bushels per acre having been
secured by artesian irrigation when
crops in an adjoining field, not so treat
ed, were hardly worth cutting.
number Of addresses were made nv
prominent people who were present at
the convention. The address of Presi-
dent t. L. Schumacher of the North
western Gnterstate) immigration as
ISOLATION was read by the secretary of
the convention and received with great
interest from the practical suggestions
made with regard to the future work
Of the organization contemplated by the
convention.
The people Of that state intend to
take promnt action now since they have
accomplished state organization. and
the executive committee will meet at
Aberdeen on the 23d to get out adyer-
