Ii is pitiable fact that mothers will
trust their daughters to the care of a
worthless young man, whom the faith
ers would not even trust with the fam
lily carriage horse. This is sad fact
and one which mothers can well afford
to take time to consider. The father
is naturally the best judge of young
mans character as the mother is that
of young woman's. If more care
were exercised in the selection of q
young woman's company there would
be fewer cases of scandelous nature
The character of a young lady is her
best treasure aud one which her lawful
protectors cannot afford to have con
taminated by unworthy associations

The Theatre from the Inside.

That there are five thousand theatres
in America, and that one million and
half people attend them each week
day night, spending seventy millions
of dollars year on theatre-going, are
the surprising facts with which Mr..
Franklin Fyles, the dramatic editor of
the New York Sun, will open an i'm
portant series in the next issue of The
Ladies' Home journal. The series will
be called The Theatre and Its People"
and will run through seven numbers
of the magazine, laviShly illustrated
with pictures made by twelve differ.
ent artists, The articles will treat of
every phase of the theatre, the play
and the actor. from the inside, and
will tell how theatre is managed: the
actual money which plays have made:
how an actor is trained and what the
actors are actually paid; how play is
written and what the authors receive;
how play is rehearsed; the first night
of play; how the actresses make up"
and what they use; and in a minute
way the two last articles will show
what goes on behind the scenes on the
stage during performance. 1t is a
curious fact that this will be the first
time that the theatre and the actor
have ever been exhaustively treated in
a magazine, and that there is no book
on the subject in existence

progress was made in settlement
in 1880 and 1881, a few people
from Fort Totten locating on the
north shore. In the spring of
1882 people came aocking in from
everywhere, bringing their break
ing plows, marking out claims, and
in many instances breaking land
for the next seasons crop, building
houses and barns and putting up
hay for the next years work; but
few remained during the winter
In the spring of 1883 the real
settlement started. Long before
the snow had disappeared they re-
turned, bringing their families and
household goods, and in many in
stances, their neighbors with them.
The secretary of the interior
(Teller), having declared that the
Indians had no claim to the land,
people felt safe in making their,
homes there, and the railroad CON-
ing and the surveyors, also, all
felt secure in obtaining title to the
lands. This is really the starting
point in the history of Ramsey
county. It's organization occurred
January Is, 1883, with D. w. En-
sign, E. v. Barton and T. G.
Saunders as county commissioners,
and the county seat was located at
Devils Lake. That was when it
was definitely known On what land
the town was to be. Fifteen years
ago; all told, the population Of the
county was not more than fifty or

superstitious dread by the Indians
who have a legend that a terrific:
storm engulfed two large fleets Of
Sioux and Chippewas who were
engaged in.a fierce combat on it's
surface and all Of the warriors
were drowned. To this day the
red man never ventures on the
waters Of the lake, though hun

On the south shore is Fort Tot

covering some fifteen square
miles extends south from the lake
and on the north shore there are
two smaller military wood reserves
of about five square miles in area
each. Surrounding the larger
military reservation is the Devils
Lake Indian reservation, extend

south shore of the lake, and from
two to fifteen miles in width, the
Sheyenne River making the south
ern boundary Of the reservation.
The Cut Head Sioux and the
Chippewa Indians, to the number
of about 1000, have taken lands in
severalty on thereservation. They
are in an advanced stage of civil
zation, all living in comfortable
log or frame houses and cultivat-
ing farms. Ample provision is
made for their education at the
Industrial and Mission Schools at
Fort Totten. The buildings at
Fort Totten are substantial brick
and frame structures. For years
several companies ofUnited States
soldiers were located here, but
some years ago it was deemed by
the government as no longer
necessary to maintain q garrison

points further west. The build

RAMSEY COUNTY.

Ramsey County in 1880 was rep
resented by a name only. The
Chippewa Indians claimed it,
along with everything else west Of
the Red river and north of Devils
Lake to the Turtle mountains.

Devils Lake has no visible out

finds its way through subterran-
can passages in the geological
strata to the basins of the Chey-

possibly to again reach the surface
through artesian wells.

mated with sulphite and carbonate

many attractions in the way Of
picturesque objects of interest
The clear North Dakota skies, the
surprisingly beautiful sunset eff.

which will in time come to be APP
preciated by hundreds of thousands
Of pleasure and rest seekers.
The name given the lake by the
Indians is "Minnewaukan,"
Mime water and "waukan"
(spirit), or Spirit Lake. The name
has been misinterpreted by the
white people. When the whites
first came here the Indians told
them "Minnewaukan Seche"-
spirit Lake is bad" referring to
the fact that the water is salty and
not suitable for drinking, but the
Interpretation given it by the
whites was bad Spirit Lake" or
Devils Lake, and thus the name
has come down to us, an unfortu-

TEXTS ON GOLD LEAF
Why Gold Leaf Is Packed Between
Leaves of The Bible.

! People outside Of regular dealers II
gold leaf are occasionally surprised
when they purchase books Of the ma
terial to find that the paper leaves be
tween the sheets Of gold have text:
of Scripture printed on them. Looking
closer they find that the paper leave:
are actually cut from the Bible
Speaking of this, tle head of Chi
cagO firms which deals in gold Leaf
said:
The gold leaf which is put up in
books made from paper leaves cut
from the Bible colles from England
There is no intention 10 be irreverent
in packing the golj leaf in this way
Most of it goes u the stores when
they sell artists materials, and IL
packed between printed sheets because
the slight indentations in the paper
made by the printing serve TO hold the
delicate film of gold in place.
why is it that the Bible is gen
orally used? Simply for the reasoI
that the Bible is usually printed in
small type and is always very evenly
set and the impression of the type on
the paper is very light. but enough &c

juring it. Another book that is uSed
for the same purpose is the Book OF
Common Prayer, the small type edl-
tions. OF course. The paper IS always
very fine and smooth and when print
ed the leaves are just adapted for the
purpose of holding the gold leaf.
The first time | was asked for an
explanation on this point was when |
had a store for the sale of artists ma
terials. 4 gentleman who bought sew
eral books of Englishmade gold leaf
came to me and asked me if paper was
so scarce where the gold leaf was
made that they had to cut up Bibles
for the purpose OF packing the leaf.
He had noticed that the sheets of gold
leaf We're packed between sheets of
printed paper, but paid 10 attention TO
it until his eye caught a ScriptHral
text that had often puzzled MIN. 1t
was the passage Iron sharpeneth iron;
SO a man sharpeneth the countenance
of his friend Then he saw that the
gold leaf was placed between cut-up
pages of the Bible. He seemed 10
think that the sheets of the Bible We're
used by some religious manufacturer
who thought some one might be con-
verted by reading a stray text. He
said he was almost startled when he
read the text he was puZzling over
and looked disappointed when l ex-
planned in a matter-of fact way why
pages of the Bible were used.
"Once or twice very excellent people
who bought this gold leaf from me
were indignant when they found that
the Bible was cut up TO hold it, and
told me | should not encourage the
profana ton by selling that kind of
leaf Others who were Of different
temperament said they Were glad to
see il. as it might lead TO some people
reading texts of Scripture. by glancnig
with curiosity at the printed sheets,
who never took Bible in their hands.
They held that no matter what form
it took it was a COOL thing to circulate

How Long Can a Man Fast

During long fast the daily loss OF
weight becomes gradually less and
less. Death comes when the total loss
has reached a certain percentage,
which percentage varies with the orig
inal weight. Fat animals may lose
half their weight, thinner ones perhaps
two-fifths.
A man or woman OF rather spare
iiabit, weighing 143 pounds. could
therefore,. lose about fifty-fve pounds

Little more than a half of the bill
that London settles every year goes
into the pocket Of the English farmer.
From the ends of the earth comes this
vast supply. This great ogre of city
of ours, before whose gastronomic eff
forts the feats OF all the giants of leg
end and fairy tale fade into insignif-
canoe, has taken his toll of the wild
ranchers from boundless Western prai-
ries, of the beautiful chestnut-colored
herds of the Andalusian Mountains, of
the piebald-coated cattle that the hon.
est Dutch tend as their own children,
and of the sturdy oxen Of the North
German plains, says Cassells Maya
zine. Canada and Australia send us
lambs and sheep, the River Platte our
OK tongues, Hamburg and Rotterdam
our pigs. What an advertisement for
the Navy League! What an object
lesson for those who declare our feet
is overgrown!
1t passes human comprehension to
think what would become of London
if our command of the sea were lost
and the foreign supplies failed! if the
100000 live cattle from America that
swell the metropolitan cattle herd dur
ing the year never reached their des-
tination; II Hollands half million of
sheep were forced to remain on the
home pastures-in short, il the 140, 600
tons Of meat, neither bred nor fed in
these islands, that London annually
consumes, ceased to appear in the but

An Exploded MYTH,

Dutch cleanliness! Another common
fallacy. Truly enough Scrubhlng and
washing appears TO be the whole occu-
patton Of the Dutch housewife; women
and children are always spotless in
their attire. bright and clean as far as
their persons are exposed 10 the public
eye; but in Volendnm. at least, this
cleanliness Is only on the surface, 80
much so that artists are positively
afraid or taking a model to their
studio.
That sea water could be used for
bathing never seems to strike the in
telllgence Of the natives. And what is
the use of washing and cleaning linen
and household utensils from morning
to night, if the water used for the pur-
pose IS OF the nature Of Volendam Ca
nal-a stagnant pool, the receptacle
for the refuse of the whole village?
Milk cans. table linen, spoons and forks
and plates are dipped unfortunately
into this evil-smelling, grimy liquid,
which cannot but nourish germs Of ty
phOid fever and other infectious dis
eases. That is the much-vaunted
| Dutch cleanliness.
