Northwest News: The buildings at old
Fort Stevenson military reservation 60
miles north of Bismarck are advertised
for sale. The fort, established many
years ago, is named for James Stevenson
who was Prof. Haydep'e chief assistant
in the geological and geographical survey
of the Territory of Dakota and other
Territories west. At the time the project
to build the Northern Pacific was taken
up by Congress, there was great opposi-
ton to the road being built, because
there wac not wood enough to furnish
fuel, and AZ there was supposed to be no
coal, it was argued that the country would
no be settled. At that time General John
A. Logan was q member of the National
House of Representatives and he became
an active and ardent supporter of the
project to bnild. He maintained that
coal existed in abundance throughout the
T %erritories, and that proper geological
surveys would locate it. Stevenson who
had spent several years among the Black
foot, Grow and Gros Ventre Indians and
had become aware of the large GOAL de.
posts on the upper Missouri, was the
Generals authority for his ents.
And thus to Stevenson are we iudsbted
for the geological survey that followed
and which located the immense coal beds
that are destined to play SO important a
part in the future development Ut the
State.

No doubt the earliest manufactured
toy of all was the doll. Little girls
play with dolls everywhere, and have
always done so. Indeed, among the
Bechuanans and Bagutos at the present
time married women carry dolls until
they are supplanted by real children.
There is for it's possessor curious in
dividuality about doll, altogether I'M
accountable to other people. How Oft
en- may it be observed that a child
will neglect the splendid new five shil-
ling waxen beauty, with its gorgeous
finery, and cling faithfully to the dis
reputable, noseless wreck of rags thar
has been its favor.te hitherto! Some
thing causes other children, besides
Helen's babies, to dislike "buyed dol
lies," even in the presence Of an article
made of an old towel. This some
thing, whatever it is, is doubtless a
great comfort to the small girls of
Mashonaland. It is an innocent, arm
less sort of affair, without any such dis
fgurement as waist or shoulders might
cause, no knee joints to get unfastened,
and nothing at the end of its legs to
cause expense at the shoemaker's. As
regards dress, 1t is inexpensive, the
whole suit of apparel consisting Of a
piece of string threaded through hole

Senator Hansbrough wore recently

it looked like the cheapest Japanese

How the New Minister Shamed .
Mississippi Crowd.
"A man who can stand turning down
for the cabinet as well as he did ought
to make good minister to Madrid"
the president is reported to have said
to friend shortly before he sent to
the senate the nomination of Stewart
L. Woodford. Placidity OF temper,
coupled with strong resolution,
recommended the New Yorker as fl
for the difficulties of the Madrid mis-
sion. Perhaps the president did not
recall the bearing Of Gen. Woodford
upon certain very trying occasion
long before the cabinet incident. II
that had come to his mind he might
have felt additional force In his esti-
mate. Many years ago, says the
Washington correspondent of the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat, there was q
sensational political homicide In KEN
per county. Miss. Judge Chisholm was
the victim. His case became of ma
tional interest. The general govern
ment took up with vigor the punish
ment of the crime Stewart L. Wood
ford, of New York, was selected to go
to Mississippi to assist in the prosecu-
ton. The action of the government
was resented. Threats were made that
the Yankee lawyer would not see his
home again If he made himself too Of
fensive. On the day that Gen. Wood
ford walked into the court room he
looked into an array Of forbidding
faces and observed that there seemed
to be an average of one shotgun to each
Mississippian present. He put down
the law books on the table, slowly sur
veyed the crowd, and in tone indicat-
ing perfect composure, said:
There seems to be a good deal of
display of arms here. Personally. I
don't know that it is Objectionable;
have had some experience in looking
down the barrels of pieces Of larger
caliber. Still, if this case is to be tried
with shotguns, it may be well to have
an understanding to that effect before
we begin.
The possessors of the shotguns
dropped out of the court room one by
one, and when they came back they
were not armed.

Some Good Suggestions for the Women.
The best weight for womans wheel
is from 20 to rs pounds, and the smooth
running qualities of all the trustworthy
makes have now reached so high
standard of excellence that there is lit
tie choice among them. Generally
speaking says writer in the Independ-
ent, 1t is best to ride as high frame
as possible, so that there need not be
many inches Of saddle post let out
above: Besides the fact that it looks
unsightly, an exposure Of five OF SIX
inches Of this post tends to make the
entire machine lacking in rigidity.
Much depends upon the proper adjust
ment of the saddle, which should be
perfectly horizontal tipped neither to
the front nor to the rear, and placed
just high enough to allow the leg to be
almost Strengthened when the pedal is
at its lowest point. There are many
excellent saddles now made upon the
most approved hygienic principles, and
as soon as woman finds one which is
comfortable, she need look no further.
The handle bars of the machine should
be we'll raised, so that the rider may
sit erect, and the handles should not be
too far apart. If there is plenty of
space between the bars and the sad
die, mounting and dismounting will be
rendered much easier. The average
woman had better not undertake to ride
with a gear higher than &C or 6s, be-
cause If she does she will find that the
extra amount Of force which she has to
put into every push of the pedals is
more exhausting than the process of
making few more revolutions with
less effort in each one.

Novelty in Type Material.

A new idea in type material is the
combination Of glass with celluloid or
hard rubber. The body of the type is
made of rubber or celluloid upon which
glass-topped letters are firmly cement
ed. In order that the face of the type
in the form may not touch, the ex-
IRENE face is a tribe smaller than the
body portion. Great advantages are
claimed for this sort of type, among
them being that glass will wear very
much longer than metal, and the print
will therefore be sharper and clearer.
With the slightly elastic base and the
small sections in which the letters are
made there is but little danger of
breakage, even with very rapid work

IN THE pRowsY COUNTRY.

City people are focking to the coun-
try, those who can, to spend the entire
summer, but there is great majority
which visits there on Sundays, as often
as possible, and finds tranquility in
country town that is different from
even the weekday monotony Of quiet.
Whether 1t is the sound Of the church
bells that peal out when the dew is
just dried from the grass ON the shady
side of the houses and the garden paths
just beginning to glare in the sun that
lends to the day its atmosphere OF sub
tie restfulness, or whether it is the
mere knowledge OF its being Sunday,
and the associations Of that day, no
one can tell. But the pulsation of the
1eep and mellow note from the church
that rears itself gray and rugged from
the green midst OF the naples echoes in
the hearts of the listeners with
the memories of the long ago when as
children in such village they went
with a mother into the color-dOtted
garden back Of the house to pick rose
to wear to the long-neglected Sunday
school.
Whether the listener be a man
Or woman the rattle Of the passing
wagons and buggies filled to the dash
board with bright-gowned women and
girls and with men in Sunday black,
the ripple of the breeze in the foliage
above the hammock, are sounds
warmed through a medium that lends
sensation Of gentleness to them. They
may themselves drive along dusty
roads in stunning trap or in an an
tiquated buggy that complains of
loose and strident tire, but the noise
seems subdued and the winding track
of hot, white road seems to choose its
way through the sumac and hazel brush
with more artful taste than when it is
but the highway for the milk wagons
and trucks laden with lumber and feed.
The rivers seem to CLEAN through the
trees with less fierce and uncompro-
missing brightness; the golf links seem
place Of less feverish rivalry, and the
waters purl over the yellow flashboards
of the dam with different gurgle than
they do on any day but Sunday.
But most persons in the lethargy of
an unusual quiet browse in a big wick
er chair at window, with Sunday
paper or book showing the original
vague intention, or they stretch de-
lightfully in hammock until the sun
gets around to the point where 1t
shines upon them and produces head
ache or retreat. They languidly no.
tice the overtures of the big Maltese
cat that rubs against the low-lying
hammock and Of the great Newfound-
land dog that produces a momentary
tumult. The old bay horse is stamp
ing and nibbling in the shade of the big
apple tree, his glossy coat shining in
the scattering spots Of sun, and hens
are blinking contentedly.
The trains are not less frequent, but
their roar seems in the lazy spirit Of the
moment to be more regular and less of
Earring rattle. Whether they live
there, or are summering there, or but
spending one brief day in the town
where the panorama is of tree-tops-
not house-tops and streets bare of green
and resonant with street cars, with rat
Ting vehicles and city's cries-they
all feel the undeflable and exquisite
difference from the humdrum of the
week days.
