In regard to the State Firemen's
tournament now in progress at Canton
the Advocate of that city says: Tyndall,
Flandreau, Armour, Centerville, Salem,
Madison and Parkston sent delegations
but in the great jam at headquarters it
was impossible to get anywhere near u
correct list of the number Of tiremen in
town. 1t matters rot the number, for
we know that the town is fast filling up
with fire laddies and it is most certain
that they will have a good time. The
prospects now are very favorable for one
of the largest and best tournaments ever
held in the state.

Brave sepoys and silhs.

The siege had lasted altogether 40
days, and there had been 80 men killed
and 90 wounded. The sepoys had suf-
fered greatly from want Of food, as to
eat horseflesh like the officers would
have been against their creed, and the
CHI had long run out. They had only
half rations Of flour, and when the relief
came, they were weak and emaeiated
from want Of food and sleep, but their
endurance and pluck were most admira-
BILE. The sikhs especially showed extraor-
binary nerve. The worse tho outlook
the cheerier they grew. They would sit
all day cleaning their rifles, with a
quiet smile, as though the anticipation
Of defeat had never entered their mind.
They felt sure, they said, that the gov
eminent would not desert them and
that in due time help would come. AS
n of them tersely put 1t, "The arm of
the government is slow, but 1t reaches
very far" Indeed, no praise can be too
great for the Sikhs, who were the very
backbone Of the defense. They not on
ly endured hardship and ~privation with.
ont q murmur, but they fought with a
quiet, dignified courage that in itself in
spired confidence. -"The Chitral Cam

People Who Eat Hnir.

1t is difficult to imagine people eating
hair, but there are many, especially
girls and young women, who do SO, as
experience proves. Doctors conducting
post norton examinations have been
surprised to find a large quantity Of
hair in the stomach Of the deceased per-
son.
Not long ago an English medical
man found as much as four pounds of
hair in the stomach Of a woman about
30 years old, and similar cases have
been officially reported from various
parts Of the world.
DIR. Swain lately performed an oper-
alton for tumor, when, to his astonish-
ment, the cause Of complaint was q
mass Of hair weighing between four
and five pounds.
In this case the patient confessed that
she had contracted a habit Of biting off
the ends of her hair, just as some bite
their finger nails.-Pearson's Weekly.

The crackers, all the way from the foot

The Trustees of the several School

The Trustees'ofthe several School
Districts will get up a list of the
Poll Tax payers of their Districts
and be sure to get the full initials
of each name, and not the 'spet'
name. The list must embrace every
male citizen from 81 to 60 years Of
age. Trustees have no power to
exempt any one from Poll Tax, and
it is their duty to list every one
within the ages and let those claim
ing exemption show cause before
the proper authority their right to
exemption.
Trustees will make separate list
of white and colored POLE.
They will also make a list Of the
children between the ages Of 6 and
81 years, distinguishing white from
colored. and male from female.
These lists must be sent to the
Commissioner at once as the APP
portionment Of the funds cannot
be made until the lists are sent in.
Trustees should take notice that
the school fund for the ensuing year
will be larger than for the past year,
and School Districts which do not
furnish the above lists, cannot ex-
pect their school fund 10 be in.
creased as the commissioner would
have no data by which to raise it.
The people of each School Dis
trict should use every effort to have
every child within the school age
attend the public school, as here
after the apportionment Of the
public funds will be made on the
school enrolment and not on the
school population.
Teachers notholding a certificate
from the Board Of this County
need not present their warrants to
the Commissioners for his approval
until they procure q teachers certi-
ficate.

EXIT THE
I'm Modern steam Battleships AtbIeti
SaiIors Play o Minor Part.

Sailors Play q Minor Part.
Aproportion of the bluejackets of any
fully rugged ship were necessarily ath-
letes. The upper yardmen" in a line
Of battle ship or a frigate were excep-
tional men in this way, and much more
so perhaps jpst about the time that sail
power was receiving its death warrant
than ever before. These young men had
to race aloft to nearly the highest points,
at top speed, eight Dr. ten times q week
when the ship was in harbor, to keep
their heads and maintain their breath
while "holding on by their eyelids,, - as
the phrase went, and manipulating
with a careful and measured order of
action tho various aud intricate arrange
ments for crossing" or sending down.
the royal and topgallant yards. 1t was
all done at full speed, for it was uni
yersally held that the upper yardmen
gave a character to the whole ship and
that one which was foremost in this ex-
ercise was ever considered "'the smart
est ship in the fleet" The upper yard
men were always the coming men. They
had most opportunities for distinguish
ing themselves, were the best known,
and were most under the eye of the au-
thorities. They developed great muscu-
lar power in chest, shoulders and arms.
Their lower extremities suffered, and
one always knew the men who had been.
upper yardmen by their tadpolelike APP
pearance when they were bathing.
But in the modern steam line of bat
tie ship and frigate these extremely ath-
letic specimens formed a very small
minority of the "ship's company" and
none of them could lose his turn at be-
ing upper yardman so long as the ships
reputation depended on the speed with
which the upper yards were crossed and
sent down. In harbor the rest of the
bluejackets had the handling of yards
and sails for exercise once or twice a
week, but at sea the use of sails for pro-
pulsion grew less and less important,
and most Of the work aloft was more Of
an exercise and less of a necessity
