The Prairie Girls Wedding.

GAS the prairie girl has grown up with
her training along practical lines, so she
asks only of her lover that he shall be
manly and true" writes Charles Moreau
Harger, of "a Girls Life on the Prairie, J."
in the May Ladies' Home Journal.
Thousands of acres of land do not make
fortune, and socical degrees are prac-
tically unknown. The wedding is nearly
always at the brides home. Not once in
threescore times is it at the church. The
near relatives and few dear friends are
the guests. The brides white wedding
gown is simply made. Bunches of
goldenrod or roses deck the little parlor
or sitting-room, and from the organ
comes the wedding march. Seldom does
a groomsman or brides attendant
take part in the ceremony, and more
seldom is there a reception alterward.
Fortunate indeed are the bride and
groom if they can escape a vociferous
serenade, for the charivari and the bonn
bardment of rice and old shoes are we'll

A neet1e That Cuts Metal.

There is no use trying to keep IN
confinement a curious little creature
known as the metal cutting beetle
Not long ago an entomologist caught
one of these beetles and, unaware OF
it's peculiar ability for saving through
ANYTHING in its way, put 1t IN calo-
hoard box. Soon firing Of solitary con-
finement, or probably thinking its cap
tor had forgotten to provide it with q
door. the beetle cut one for itself ano
crawled out
It was captured and put in wooden
box, and as soon as the novelty OF Its
new home wore off, again the persever'
ing insect cut hole in the box and es
capped.
The next time the escaped prisoner
was caught it was put in small glass
Jar with a tight fitting pewter cover
punctured to let in air. But the meta
cutting beetle from Mexico scorned t.
live in pepper box and gnawed a hol'
big enough to allow it to creep out IN
to the big world again. And this TIM
it was not caught.

When Going to Bed.

No matter how busy one may be, it is
quite possible to always find time to at.
tend to ones toilet at night. One should
not simply drop ones clothes and tumble
into bed, else neither oneself nor the
clothes will look attractive in the morn
ing. Have plenty of hot water and a
dash of eau de cologne and give your
face thorough having. The result will
be as refreshing as an hours sleep.
Brush the hair Tor twenty minutes. 1t
will be glossier and thicker for the trou-
BILE, and your nerves will be soothed by
the process. Then after the exercise robe
yourself in a warm dressing gown and
drink glass of hot milk, weak cocoa
or even hot water, eating biscuit or q
bit of toast if you like. When the small
supper is finished, you will be ready to
go to sleep without any insomnia cure
and in the morning you will walker
refreshed and thoroughly in good humol
with yourself and the world.-[ New

Linen Costumes for 1890.

Linen costumes will be worn very
much. Some Of the heavier qualities OF
linen are made up i'll the coat and skirt
styles like the piques, but there are also
the thinner linens like grass cloth, made
up very deliberately. These last are
made with over-skirt effect, and have
silk or lawn petticoats; and also in the
drop skirt style, and trimmed with bauds
of heavy insertion. A smart grass-linen
gown, with a pink and white satin
stripe, has the skirt cut in circular shape,
and trimmed with three broad bands Of
heavy guipure lace. The skirt is cut so
that it flares very much below the last
band OF insertion. The waist which fits
tightly in the back, is rather loose in
front, and has square yoke effect, en-
circled by a ruffle of the guipure lace.
The lace also edges the fronts of the
waist, and falls in jabot on either side
OF very narrow tucked front OF pink
Liberty silk. There is a ribbon belt Of
pink silk, and tied in at the wrists are
little bows of pink silk showing through
the lace ruffles. A very fine grass linen
with no color is made up over light
green lining. This is trimmed down the
front breadth with rows of lace inser-
ton. The back is plain, rather on the
circuar-skirt effect, with no fitness in the
back at all, except where it flares out at
the bottom, but the long petticoat is
made with very full ruffle flounce, and
is so wide that it looks full and yet cling
ing. The waist is almost tight-ftting,
quite tight-htting at the back and sides,
and in front is trimmed with lace barbe
that goes around at the back. comes
down the front of the waist, and then is
slipped through two bands of the linen,
the ends falling down over the waist on
to the skirt. This waist has a vest of
green liberty silk very finely pleated. a
dark blue linen, almost like lawn-it is
so light in Weights very attractive
gown for travelling or for hard wear. 1t
is trimmed with bands of red and white
Russian embroidery; the waist is cut in
an Eton jacket with long pointed fronts,
the fronts one mass of the Russian EN-
broidery, and there is vest of red crepe
cloth. This is a very curious combina-
ton, and is made still more curious by a
little row of gilt buttons down the front
of the jacket.-Harpers Bazaar.

South DakOta'S Wealth.

South Dakota has become one of the
leading wealth producers of the Union
and produces more wealth in proportion
to population than any other state, thus
standing at the head as wealth pro-
Queer. This statement may surprise
many readers, but it is cold fact, as
shown by the government figures and
other reliable sources Of information.
The principal reason for this is the i'm
mense diversity of her sources of income
or wealth production. South Dakota is
now third in the production of gold OF
all the states she is also third in the
production of wheat, first in the produc'
ton Of flax, fifth in barley, oats and rye,
about eighth in wool, and tenth in live
stock. She is also high up among the
top states in the production of dairy
products, and is liberal producer o
almost all known minerals and coal and
even has natural gas in many localities

An EpOch-rIaking Book.

The immense effect produced by one of
Dickens novels on the education of Eng.
lish boys is pointed out by Mr. James l..
Hughes in an article in the Century re-
Gently on "What Charles Dickens Did
for Childhood"
Dickens made schoolmasters prom-
nent characters in six of his books
Nicholas Nickeby," "The Old Curiosity
Shop" "Domby and Son." David Cop
per6eld," Our Mutual Friend" and
lizard Times" The coarse brutality of
Squeers was offset by the loving sympa-
thy Of the dear old schoolmaster who
sheltered Little Nell. DR.. Blimber and
Mr.. Creakle, each in his way perfect
type of wrong methods of dealing with
children, were more than counterbal-
anced by DR.. Strong. There is no page
in any language that treats of more fun
damental educational principals than the
page describing DR.. Strong's school. In
Hard Times" the dwarfng of Louisa
and Tom Gradgrind by their fathers
false educational ideal was brought into
perfect relief by the unfolding of wisdom
and sweetness in Sissy Jupe, who was
not robbed of a real childhood.
Squeers' school was described to
arouse the indignation OF the public
against badly managed private schools
conducted by ignorant, sordid, brutal
men who Graded in the avarice, indffer'
ence or imbecility Of parents and the
helplessness of children" He
had a wider aim however, than the
overthrow of an evil system of private
schools. He caught the spirit Of Henry
Barnard and Horace Mann, and was
one of the first Englishmen to see the ad
vantages of national system of educa
ton, and the urgent need of well-trainet
teachers by whom Young minds nigh
be guided in the first stages Of thei
growth.
J The publication of nicholas Nickleby
freed England from the low class Of pri
vate schools, aroused the widespread
: interest in national education and tn
better training of teachers, and helped t.
reveal the fundamental principle of tru
discipline in home or school, that all &C
ercion is dwar6ng in its effect on chara'

The Surprise of All.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speaking of
DR.. Kings New Discovery, says that last
winter his wife was attacked with La
Grippe, and her case grew so serious that
physicians at Cowden and Pana could
do nothing for her. 1t seemed to develop
into Hasty Consumption. Having DR.,
Kings New Discovery in store, and selling
lots oft, he took bottle home, and to
the surprise OF all she began to get better
from the first dose, and half dozen dol
lar bottles cured her sound and well. Dr.

Letter from India.

Correspondence oil the CALEpoNAN'
Dear Editor:-
We are very thankful to you for giving
us all the good newsstand some sad
news too-from our old home every
week. 1t was sad when you told us OF
the home-going of an old and faithful
associate, Rev. H. A. Spencer. 1t was
good when you told us Of the promotion
of our highly esteemed townsman, Judge
Ross, to be senator in the place OF the
grand man who has completed his work.
1t was good news to read of the twenty
fifth anniversary OF DR.. Fairbanks as
pastor of the old South church, and it
was cheering to read the pictures OF that
notable number. We are little ahead,
in years, of our old schoolmate for it is
forty years this month since the good
people of st. Johnsbury fitted us out
and sent us off to this grand work in
India. We are sorry that our friend
Rev. Mr.. lyric must leave, but he has
done a good work and has prepared the
way for another strong man.
Your last number brought us the very
wise speech of President Mckinley. 1t
is true that great problems are before our
people in the Philippines. No one knows
this so we'll as we who have lived long
years in this Eastern world. To leave
the people now would be to leave them
to slaughter each other. The Presidents
kind, temperate policy is the only safe
one.
Our Bishop Thoburn has just been at
Manila to prospect concerning missions
There are wide open doors there, and
much work would be sef-supporting, es.
pecally school work. There are soldier
lads there as volunteers ready for teach
ers but they cannot retire in the pres
ence of the enemy. A leader made up OIL
the same stuff as our Admiral Dewey is
needed there for mission work also and
much can be done. 1t was wise Provi
dence that gave Dewey to that work
He is highly esteemed by all Europeans
in this Eastern world, and if any one
wishes not to respect him he has way
of commanding respect" for his coun
try's sake.
1t is March 20, and our farmers are al
in rush harvesting their wheat.
1t is very early this year. The last o
December was the coolest weather l evel
knew in India and the last of March is
so hot that we close our doors against
the hot winds. We had no share in you
big snow storm unless our wet, COLI
Christmas had some connection with it
Our next two months are our burning

poem which is Victorian Ode"
God OF our fathers known Of old
Lord of our far-fiung battle line
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies
The captains and the kings depart
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts. be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
Par.called our navies melt away
On dune and headland sinks the fire
Lo, all our pomp Of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
If. drunk with sight Of power. we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe!
Such Boosting as the Gentiles USE
Or lesser breeds without the law
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget

In reeking tube and iron shard--
All vaient dust that builds on dust,
And guarding, calls not Thee to guard.
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy on Thy people Lord

Primitive Pipes.

The earliest Indian pipes were simply
tubes, in one end of which the tobacco
or dried leaves were put. 1t has been
found that the pipes used by the ancient
Romans were made on the same plan.

for a comparatively recent day. 1t IS
worthy mentioning incidentally that
the cigarette is really an invention OF
the Indians. They made cigarettes just
like those now in use, with wrappers OF
the thinnest corn husks.
There is a popular notion, by the
way, that paper used for modern ciga'

not warrant this idea. inasmuch as the

Green-Headed rlen.

In the districts surrounding the copper
mines of Cornwall, Cuba, Chill and
other places where the ore is abundantly
found, curious sight is to be seen in the
shape OF men with hair that is quite
green. This is not, as might be mag
ined, fashionable fad, but the grave
result produced by the mems surround.
ings. The crude ore, in order to secure a
more marketable article, is roasted in
enormous furnaces, and it is some
strange emanation from the smelted
copper that effects this chemical change
in the hair OF the miners and turns it as
green as grass. Investigations have
proved that the fumes from the furnaces
contain certain quantity Of arsenical
matter, and this causes the startling
change, although the texture and growth
of the hair suffers no injury.
