THE GREAT PROCESSION.

One of the marvels of the present age
is the wonderful advance of civilization
into the dark continents of Africa and
Asia. 1t took almost four hundred years
to civilize and settle the continents o1
America and there are still some parts Of
both continents, particularly in South
America, where the white man is still a
stranger.
But twenty-five years ago the great
interior of Africa was unknown, even to
geographers, and yet to-day the whole
country is practically divided up among
the nations of Europe, while thousands
OF white men are rapidly trasforming the
unknown jungles into nations. Twenty.
five years ago China, except along the
coast, was not accessible to Europeans
and now the nations of Europe are calm
ly and certainly cutting that great empire
into slices, which in a few years will be-
come dominated not only by the power
OF armies and navies, but by the stronger
forces OF the white mans brains and his
energies IN the martS OF trade.
The celebrity of these mammoth move
ments in the geography OF the world
keeps the student busy and the maps of
one year needs be made new the next.
lhe causes of these progressive steps
which now take years or months to
measure where centuries hardly suficed,
are steam and electricity. The great
motive wheels in millions of factories
produce as much in a day as once were
made in months and the same motive
powers bring markets to the door that
once were only known in the fabulous
stories of Marco Polo. 1t is market for
the products of machinery and labor that
is the great civilizer of the world. Other
motives, such as desire of power, and
national aggrandizement, the missionary
spirit, the love of adventure, assist in the
work, but after all the almighty dollar
IS the real overpowering force that makes
men leave their home to go out into the
jungle and live among strange and bar
barous peoples.
During the last year the United States
has gone out of its former ways and join-
ed the old world in the process Of "tak-
ing up land" Not perhaps with that
direct intention did we leave home, but
that has been the inevitable result, and
now the whole question seems to have
come down to the basic query, will it
pay us?
Whether it will or not is hardly worth
the present discussion, because whether
we would or not we have actually Joined
the worlds procession, and which.

whether we would or not, we were bound
sooner or later to join. "The world
moves" said Calico, and if the world
moves, every dweller thereon must move
with it.
No matter what the motives, the fac,
that light is penetrating even the dark.
est places is evident: it is equally evi-
dent that every people of every cline
must be affected by this grand process.
sion of nations and the United States
should take advantage Of its power and
opportunity and take her proper position
in the caravan.

The country about Glendive, Montana
and Mandan, North Dakota and other
western points is badly flooded. Quite a
number of lives have been lost. The N.
P. trains stopped and the G. N. is having
a great deal of trouble. Their losses are
considerable by bridges being washed
away. The streams out there this sea-
son were frozen very thickly and with
sudden thaws and quick currents, jams
form rapidly.

The tide OF immigration is very strong
TO North Dakota this year. The most OF
the settlers are taking land in the belt
just west of the Red River Valley. One
effect of this immigration is the increased
political power of the western counties
in future conventions and elections.

Rev. Moore's Last Sunday.

Next Sunday evening at the M. E.
church Rev. ]. G.. Moore will preach his
last sermon as pastor of the church. The
rules of the church are such that minis
ter may be removed at the end of each
year and cannot remain at one place for
more than five consecutive years. The
removing and stationing OF the ministers
is done by the arbitrary pow>rs of the
bishop, who however, usually accepts
the desire and advice Of the presiding
elders in the yearly changes. The minis
ter is not supposed to have much, if any,
thing, to do with therelocation and never
certainly knows his appointment until
the list is read on the last day Of the
yearly conference. This year the am
nual conference of North Dakota will
meet next week at Bismarck and will be
in charge of Bishop Andrews.
Pembina charge or circuit while hard
one i'll respect to large territory covered,
is otherwise one ofthe best appointments
in the state, being financially we'll off,
with good churches, parsonage and no
debts, and in generally harmonious
condition and strong iii membership,
hence Mr.. Moore's successor is certain
to be of the best material in the con-
ference.
The following is brief statement OF
the work done on the Pembina charge
during the five years of Mr.. Moore's ad-
ministration, and tells more forcibly than
anything else can of his success as a
pastor and man.
During the five years pastorate of Rev.
u. G. Moore the membership has increas.
ed forty-fve per cent, so that the present
membership of the circuit is one hundred
and forty. One hundred and seven per-
sons have been baptized and forty-six
marriage ceremonies performed. The
circuit has contributed approximately for
church benevolences ss5O.0O. The
claims of pastor and presiding elder
have been met in full each year. The

The departure of Mr.. Moore and his
wife will be greatly regretted by the con-

Once at scientific carnival. while DIR.
Playfair was showing the prince and
his party round. they came to big vat

prince to dip his fingers in the liquid.
There was litter and some dismay
among those who heard, but the prince,
having looked the doctor straight in

into Mrs. Collins hands is that which
comes under the general head of "mis-
directed"
This means letters which are wrongly
addressed or those which bear an illegi-
BILE direction.
It is curious to note that there were
received during last year 29,o9s letters
which bore no address whatever. The
general appearance of these envelopes,
as well as the nature of the contents,
indicates that by far the greater por-
ton of these errors of omission were
not made by casual and infrequent
users of the mails, but were the result
of haste AMI want of elaboration by
persons more or less completely alb
sorbed in business.
Money orders, checks and bank notes
are frequently mailed without the
sender's name and address within, and
in an envelope with no address what
ever. After making every effort to dis
cover the owners of these, the United
States treasury finds itself the richer
annually by $4,000 from this source.
Letters bearing imperfect directions
come directly to Mrs. Collins, who has
become so expert in her work that
there is seldom anything too ''blind"
for her to read. When it is remembered
how many foreigners who are totally
unaccustomed to the language write
in It, and how many illiterate who are
able to do little more than to make
their mark, use the mails, one is not
surprised at the great number of let
tiers which come into this department.
But these are not the worst people
Mrs. Collins has to deal with. The
writer of the ultra fashionable hand
gives her, as a rule, more trouble than
the illiterate or the foreigner.-St.
Louis Republic.

the crane this feat by tossing its food
in the air. for which it would jump, and
at the same time he would whistle.
Finally it would jump about at the
sound of rag-time melodies and hand
clapping. Its peculiar, jerky move
ments give it the appearance of doing
some strange dance.-Chicago Daily

sections of Australia, however, the kill
ing of the birds has become mandatory
because of the damage inflicted to the
wire boundary fences when one of these
powerful birds is making ''hot LAM

speed of a 13-inch shell, and can cut q
wire fence with about the same ease.
1t differs from it's African prototype,
the ostrich, in that the feathers are OF
no value. However, it's eggs are much
sought after. The eggs are dark green
color and rough of surface, and when
mounted as vases and similar orna-
ments are very beautiful. The emu
takes some pride in her nest, which can
not be said of the ostrich. The latter
lays its eggs in a scraping in the sand,
while the emu chooses a place near
some tree or stump and collects bed
of leaves, grass and sticks, in which
she deposits the eggs. The nest is quite
fat, about an inch thick and is oblong
in shape, being four feet in length and
six inches wide. The average lay is
nine eggs, although there has been

ceptional. Emus are generally seen. in
pairs and affect the great plains and
subsist on the grass. The duty of hatch
ing the egg devolves upon the gentle
man emu, who has to devote eight
weeks to the operation. The bird lays
in winter and is governed by the needs
of the chick. When the little fellow
energies from the shell he finds an
abundance of tender heritage awaiting
him. The plumage of the chick is gray
ish white, barred lengthwise with
broad black stripes. The grown emu's
uniform is brown. The emu has the ap-
petite and the digestive apparatus of
the goat. 1t can eat anything and ex-
periences no bad results therefrom. Al
though dependent on water, it has been
known in seasons of drouth to resort to
the seashore and satisfy thirst with

Lesson in Political Economy.


Those good folks who are so prone to
grumble and croak over women's ex-
travagance in dress and the deplorable
waste of money spent on costly mate
rails and beautiful costumes will, it is
to be hoped, see matters in slightly
different light through the medium of
Miss Hamilton's will. This lady was a
weu-known dressmaker of England,
and dealt with the kind of materials
and dresses which these foolish persons
call extravagance. Yet at her death the
other day five hospitals benefited to the
extent of 5000, 900. It is a little curious
to think that this munificent bequest
was made out of the proceeds of wom-
ems so-called extravaganza in dress,
and as practical lesson in political
economy it certainly deserves atten-
ton.
