Red Lake Pine Lands.

July is the date of sale of Red Lake
pine lands in the Duluth district, and
July IS as the date of the sale of that
portion of land in the Crookston dis
trict. This land will be sold at auction
in local offices in 40-acre tracts, on the
basis of the timber stand thereon, at
not less than So per thousand feet. No
land is to be sold, however, at less than
S1.25 per acre.
There are 49, acres OF land to be
sold, on which there are 225, 977, 900 feet
of timber. Of this 1914 acres, en-
bracing 1896, 900 feet of timber, are in
the Duluth district, and the balance in
Crookston district. All land will be
offered at the time of sale, and such as
is not bought at that time will be sold
at private sale at any time at the ap-
praised value of the standing timber,
and it is expected that some tracts will
bring more than the appraised value.
The probability is that the Indian fund
will be increased to the extent of nearly
u million dollars.

Lady Helen comes from stock that
has given England many beauties. Her
great. grandmother ON her mothers side
was known as 1.-THE beautiful Miss Lin
lev" and became the wife of Richard
Brinsley Sheridan, author of 1.-The Ri

man. Other descendants of Sheridan
noted for their beauty were Lady Seq
mour, afterward Duchess of Somerset,
at one time England's crowned Queen
of Beauty" and the mother of the
present Marquis of Dufferin. And all
these women not only inherited the
good looks for which their brilliant an

THE YOUNG WIFE.

They say her smile was sweetest when sne iny
In that enthralling power whose guise u

And remember now It was her way
To smile IN slumber deepi
Yet when pressed the hand that lay SO stlll
And called her name and smoothed her pref
ty hair,
She answered not nor soothed with her sweet
will
My fond hearts crushing care.
How softly lay the laces on her breast
Methought she was SO lovely in repose
That surely paradise was still more blessed
In claiming my sweet rose.
A rose that thrived in sunshine or in shade
Until at length death touched the tender
bloom
And withered 1t just when 1t would have staid
To brighten in the gloom.
And then at this my heart fell crushed and
blind.

And ceaseless yearning that doth fill the MIND
When brooding death Is guest.
Dear patient gil who was SO loath to hear
A single word against my ruthless ways
And who will guide me now with gentle fear
And who will speak my praisef
Oh, still she sleeps. The jasmine
blooms as then,
And nature bears its warm life from the
deeps,
And summer birds sing lightly once again,
But still, alasi she sloepsl

Women Engineers.

Miss Marian Parker of Detroit is the
first woman to graduate from the engi-
neering department of the University of
Michigan She won the degree of bach
elor of science in civil engineering, took
the full course, and stood well at the
head of her class. Her object, she says,
is to become practical architect. There
are now only about 80 or go women in
this profession, one in Philadelphia,
two in New York, several in New Or
leans and others scat. cred about. Miss
Parker's thesis for graduation was de-
sign for fireproof apartment building,
on which she spent nearly the whole of
her last semester, although not constant
in her work. To an engineer who knows
what it means to design such building

piece of iron in its construction-this

A Relic of Barbarism.

Rev. J. S. Withrow of the Third
Presbyterian church, Chicago, says:
Denying woman any place or part in
society or state just because she is q
woman and granting the same to man
just because he is a man is, in my
Judgment, mean relic of barbarism.
The fact that some women do not desire
the franchise has nothing to do with
the duty of the state to grant it. If they
should fail to exercise their granted
right, it would be no more than men
are doing. When it is said that it would
coarsen women to mingle with men in
political competitions, I venture the in
quiry, Why would not the saving virtues
Of womanhood rather conquer the
coarseness of men? But with the conse-
quences to her we are net called in the
first instance to deal. Danish and bury
tho barbaric ideas and usages which de-
bar her from what the male gender en-
Joy on the sole ground of their sex, and
when all such inequality is removed
allow her as much freedom as fathers,
brothers and sons to say what she will
choose to do and what not AS to the am
plest opportunities and privileges, feel.

cation i'll regard to tho election of wom-

Mr.. EnglIsh's History of Indiana.

William II. English of Indiana is rs
years old, as the phrase goes, but 1t does
not follow that he is an old man. He is
young enough to be industriously and
intelligently at work on history Of In
diana, sparing no expense or research to
obtain information and notifications. He
is very liberal in the purchase of histor-
ical documents, and from the items we
have seen in print about the work the
book, when it Is issued, ought to be the
most valuable extant. A very first class
and comprehensive history Of the great
state OF Indiana, written as labor OF
love, will be monument to the author

reer in public Office. Mr.. English has
not been conspicuous in politics. though

Her father had had charge of the office

Mountaineering Memories

I had not long left q public school
and was unconscious of the possession
of nerves Given sufficient hold for hand
and foot, never felt any more inclina-
ton to fall in place where fall would
carry me a couple of thousand feet to
the bottom of precipice than where it
would only involve tumble of yard
into soft snow. But to poise oneself
in going down series Of steps that are
merely tiny chips in hard ice, tilted up
at an angle greater than of an average
skill, which does not come by nature,
but has to be acquired by experience.
The only safe way, when novice is Of
the party, is not to allow him to move,
unless the man to whom he is roped is
firmly anchored, and this course was re-
peatedly adopted on our descent.
1t was, however, when we had reached
the ice fall of the glacier that the Incl
dent occurred of which have the most
vivid recollection. The snow bridges
over the crevasses had easily borno our
weight in the early morning, when the
frost still held them in its grip, but by
the time we returned the sun had pro-
duced its effect, and was not the only
one Of our party who went through in
the fashion already described. OF
course, the rope furnishes an absolute
security, provided that the rest of the
party are on what Mrs. Malaprop would
call terra Gotta, but repeat that it is
at first startling to find oneself
swinging in vacancy over an apparently
bottomless abyss.
In good many years of mountain
eering I have encountered certain real
dangers, but none, think, which has
impressed me SO strongly as the imag-
mary peril of that sudden descent below
the surface of the Aletsch glacier some
80 years ago. -Blackwood' Magazine

own remedy for this exhaustion is to

Lady Dudley.

Lady Dudley, whose husband has re-
ceived one of the minor parliamentary
offices in connection with the new Sails
bury administration, is probably the
only peeress of the realm who has risen
from the rank of bona fide shopgirl TO
her present social eminence. True, she
bore prior to her marriage the name of
Quincy, one of the most ancient in
Norfolk, one of her ancestors having
been that Thomas de Courtney who
murdered King Edward II in such an
appalling manner with hot iron bars.
The young countess father, however,
met with business reverses and was
compelled to resign his partnership in
the Quincy bank, as well as to surrender
all his possessions for tho benefit of his
creditors.
Mrs Quincy thereupon opened mil
liner shop i'll London, but met with
scant success, her two daughters, who
had acted as assistants, ultimately be-
coming saleswomen in the Regent street
store of the modiste, Mime. Elise.
About year previous to Lord Dud-
ley's marriage the now widowed Ducf.-
ess of Bedford and her sister, Lady
Henry Somerset, interested themselves
in behalf of the two young girls and
removed them to more congenial sur
roundings Rachel, the eldest, became a
member of the household of the duch-
ess, while the younger, now Lady Trow-
bridge, was adopted by Lady Henry
Somerset. 1t was as the adopted daugh-
ter Of the Duke and Duchess of Bedford
that Rachel Quincy married young
Lord Dudley.

the National Daughters Of the Confed-

hood of the various organizations of
women in the south. It is nonpolitical
and is designed solely to cultivate the
ties of friendship among the southern
women. This new association embraces
several others, such as the Monumental
association, organized for the purpose of
erecting q tribute to the dead at Mount

first association of women in the south
formed to act with gentlemen. The

to put the place in order and erect the
