The method OF procedure is this: In
his lucky bag the hawker carries 200
numbers. The figures are neatly inscrib-
ed Oh small slips of stiff paper. These
are rolled and curled up in the lucky
bag. which resembles pillow case more
than ANYTHING else. When the peddler
,nters the cafe, his quick eye soon de-
tects likely customer To start by do
ing trade will greatly enhance his
chances with others. Terms are arrang-
ed. say three tries for half franc.
Then you guess, perhaps three times, at
the lucky number, say between 100 and
100, as arranged.
On drawing the first number you pay
down your half franc. OF course the
odds are very much against you. The
hawkers in Cairo and Alexandria make
a very fair harvest when these cities are
full. As much as 10 to Is francs for q
turkey which costs 8 francs is pretty
good profit. Somebody, Of course, wins
it in the long run.
The articles disposed Of in this way
comprise boxes of splendid peaches and
other fruits, soap, flowers in great va
riety. plants and the beautiful poin-
settia, turkeys and other live stock,
game in season, fish, dates, great va
riety of ornaments, cunning devices In
clocks, furniture, etc.
There ia another side to the picture.

ing west OF the western boundary line
of Pemhina county. About that time
p. McHngh of Bathgate was elected as
a representative Of Pembina county in
the legislature, and it occurred TO him
and to Attorney w. j. Mooney of the
same village that it would be well to
organize Cavalier county and add to it
the three ranges in the western part of
Pembina county. This western part of
Pemhina county was very much higher
than the rest of the county, and was
situated, the people said, and say yet,
ION the mountain. So Ntzhugh, got a
bill through the Legislature defining
Cavalier county as it is today.
That was in the winter Of 1S84-5.
A courthouse was built at Langdon,
which was designated as the county
seat, and at the election in November
various county officers were elected.
But none of the county officers came to
Langdon to live. 1t was already a bad
winter, and they could see no reason
why they should come If there was
some one there to take charge OF the
records. So they united in asking E. j.
Fox, a young man just from Canada,
to take charge Of the Offices until sum-
mer. Fox accepted the position, or posi-
tions, and in December took charge of
the affairs of the county. The court
house was then large building-in
fact, too large for use. Fox decided
that it would be better to leave it va
cant until spring, and he took up his
abode i'm n one room ''claim shack, the
only other building in town. This was
about Is by 30 feet in dimensions, and
there he lived and did business that
winter He was deputy clerk of the
courts, county judge, county treasurer,
comfy auditor and register of deeds.
The sheriff lived in the country and the
superintendent Of schools lived just
across the Manitoba line. The sheriff
did not serve out his term, for he was
put in Jail for shooting man In fight.
There, was not another living soul with
in two miles.
Fox lived entirely alone, and did his
own cooking, except the bread baking,
which was done by neighbor three
miles away. Langdon, though the coun-
ty seat, was not yet postofiice. The
postmaster of Olga, in the eastern part
of the county, used to send over large
package of letters and papers about
twice week to the people whom he
knew lived near Langdon, and Fox
would give to these people their mail
when they called for it. There was not
one settler 40 miles to the west, but
about 40 and 90 miles northwest, near
the Manitoba line, there were several
settlers, and some of these used to drive
that great distance to ''file" ON home
stead or tree claim. When they did
that. Fox had to give them. their meals

Tobacco an Essential.

In general order issued recently the
president virtually recognizes tobacco
as an article essential to the well being
and sustenance of the soldier in times
of great exertion as well as In times or
peace and routine. The order, which
emanates from the war department.,
reads as follows:
"Under the authority vested III HIM
bv section ll46, revised statutes. tho
president hereby establishes an emer-
gency ration for troops operating Tor
short periods under circumstances which
REQUIRE them to depend upon supplies

nent parts are as follows: Bacon. 10

4 ounces, or an equivalent IN approved
material for making soup; coffee, roast

ounce saccharin, grains; salt, ga

The secretary of war directs that this

occasions arising in active operations
when the use of the regularly establish

its use on half allowance. il will not be

The Ring Mountains of the Mocz-

The moon is really and truly a great
planet of mountains, its whole Niapie-
surface being dotted with elevations OK
curious shapes sad of extraordinary
height. We say its whole visible slr
face and hasten to explain that We
make this statement simply because the
eve of man has never seen bnt ono side
of the surface Of the moon. What we
see convinces us that the little planet rs
extremely mountainous, for on the
"end'' exposed TO our view there are mo-
less than 30, 900 peaks, varying III
height from 1000 feet to A miles
When we consider the fact that this lu-
marian world is only one thirty second
part as large as the earth we can easily
see why it deserves the title OF the
planet of great mountains. There Is
q peculiar thing about these 10000
moon peaks. Each and every one OF
them has a ringlike form, the open end
of the conical point being of greater or
lesser diameter, according to the height
of the mountain. In low grade tele-
scope these peaks resemble true yolca-
noes. but when viewed through high
grade glass it is seen that the depres-
sion in the center of the queer ring
mountain" is often SO great as to be be
low the general level of the surrounding
country. The depth of these depressions
is calculated in curious manner-by
figuring on the relative shadows they
cast when the sun is shining full upon
| them. The diameter of these "rins
mountains varies greatly, some of thu
larger ones being 80, 100 or even 15s
miles, while the smaller look like pos
holes when viewed through ii good tele
scope.-St. Louis Republic.

Tho Hswker OF the East Adopts the Gam

The hawker of the east is picturesque
in costume and of many nationalities.
His sunny smile and white, cleaning
teeth are of the very essence of the blue
sky overhead He does not stand still in
the street and appeal to passersby to buy
his wares. He fits from cafe to cafe and
interviews loungers smoking their mar
giles in the open air. He adopts the
gambling system as being more direct
appeal to human passions. In his hand
he carries lucky bag. When he enters
a cafe, he invites you to dip your hand
in the bag and try your luck for pair OF
live turkeys, beautiful Egyptian shawl
shimmering with gold or silver en-
broidery, or some other of the many
ornaments peculiar to the east 1t is diff
cult to resist his persuasive eloquence.

and lodgings, and, in fact, he had often
. L

and lodgings, ana, IN Iact, ne hau oioeh
to keep a sort OF hotel.
The winter of l8S4-5 was very cold,
and at night Fox used often to lie
awake and listen to the billiards. howl
around his little shack. He was kept
busy. however, for there were many
filings, registerings of mortgages and
few deeds. An average of two or three
men would come to see him daily ON
business, but he seldom saw woman.
Nearly all the settlers near him at thar
time were bachelors, who afterward
went back to Canada to get married;
and indeed Fox did the same. Every
body was poor, and yet they all seemed
to enjoy themselves, though they had
to haul their wheat from 80 to 10 miles
to market.
The winter passed very swiftly, and
in the summer Mooney and Ntzhugh,
came with their families Then other
settlers began TO pour i'll. Buildings
went up, as if by magic, and i'll few
months there were a postoffice and a
dozen dwellings. Talk of "a railroad be-
gan to be heard, and in few months
it came. Then indeed Pooh-Bah Fox
had to surrender his glory. He chose to
take up the humble position OF superin-
tendent of the schools of the county
and he still retains the place. He is dis
posed to think that, in spite of the com
forts and conveniences of the present
mode of life here, he enjoyed himself
more that winter when he was monarch
of all the government offices OF Cavalier
county. -Langdon IN. ID. } Cor Chicago

The Expansion of Ice.

Ice never bursts from freezing AS
soon as the liquid of which it is COM
posed is frozen solid expansion ceases.
The cracking or bursting OF ice Is
brought about in this way When water
is subjected to extreme cold, ice crystals
will gradually form on its surface until
the same are covered with thin coat OF
what appears to be wet snow. From
this outer coating of ice crystals all sub
sequent freezing goes downward, the
ice thickening according to the degree
of cold. The water which is being con-
yerted into ice now begins TO expand,
creating pressure upon the unfrozen
water below. This pressure is both
downward and outward, and III case the
