been "a perfect lady" at one time. but she had
become in his opinion a firt and the letter ended

Attention of the reader is called to
the announcement Of Notre Dame uni

This noted institution of learning en-
ters upon it's ffty-fourth year with the
next session, commencing Sept. Z, 1897.
Parents and guardians contemplating
sending their boys and young men
away from home to school would do
we'll to write for particulars to the Uni
yersity Of Notre Dame. Indiana, before
making arrangements for their educa-
ton elsewhere. Nowhere in this broad
land are there to be found better facil-
tiles for cultivating the mind and heart
than are offered at Notre Dame Uni
Versity.

An enlisted man serving on the from

would be envied by hundreds of wealthy
men, especially in the way of hunting
and fishing. He plays all kinds of out
door games, is regular in his habits.
has stated times for meals and for
sleep, which all tend to the DEVELOPMENT
OF his physical powers, and the training
he receives straightens his frame and
gives him an easy upright carriage
that never after leaves him until old
age lays the weight of it's hand upon
him. The post exchange is fitted up
with billiard and pool rooms lunch
counter and card-room Only the best
grades of beer are sold there, and
drunkenness cannot exist under pres
ent restricted rules. A pleasant room
is always set aside as a readng-room
where current newspapers are on file
and in addition to this, each company
usually maintains a library. A post
school is maintained for six months Of
the year, where he who wishes may i'm
prove his mental condition. He is pro-
vided with excellent clothing, which
when altered to fit neatly, is the nat
test uniform known. A drunkard or
other questionable character may pos
sibly creep in among the men enlisted,
but he is soon "spotted'' and, under
the law that five previous convictions
by courts martial are sufficient to
award dishonorable discharge, he is
soon gotten rid of. 1t is creditable to
the army that all men now serving in
the ranks, except possibly a few left
over from the old army, are capable Of
reading and writing the English Ian
guage-that is, in limited sense.

Potato Crop Deficiency.

Not since 1892 has the potato crop of
the United States proved so nearly a
failure, the aggregate yield s.being the
small Hest in the past five years Com
pared with the liberal crop Sof 1896,
there is an apparent falling off of
nearly 80 per cent in tonnages and the
quality as a whole is greatly defic-
lent. The low prices Of last fall and
winter which attended the full crop of
1896 did not tend to stimulate seeding.
Yet potatoes form such a staple in al
most every State, that after all a fairly
