DECADE OF SERVICE.
Supt and Matron Anderson Complete Ten
Years OF Faithful Work at Asy-
lum and County Home.

Supt. and Mrs. JAS. Anderson COM
plete ten years of service as custod-
ians of affairs at the asylum and coun-
ty home this week In their modest,
unassuming way nothing was said of
the anniversary to friends outside,
but the trustees were aware of the
fact and before going out to the insti-
buttons Tuesday purchased beauti-
full silver service as a gift to the wor-
thy couple. 1t was complete sur
prise and Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson
could hardly frame words to express
appreciation, but the venerable trio
of trustees explained that it was mere
ly a token of esteem from them and
that they wished it received in the
same feeling in which it was given.
The efficient services rendered by
the superintendent and marion dur
ing the decade past have been highly
satisfactory and their numerous
friends extend congratulations.

Spiral Lift.

After a good deal Of trouble the in
ventOrs of the Reno sliding staircase
have succeeded in making a moving
spiral staircase that will carry passen-
gers up and down vertical cylinder.
The invention has been submitted to
the directors of Londons Tuppeny
Tube, who have expressed themselves
we'll pleased with the model; but they
wished to see full-sized stairway in
operation.
In the Tube the stairway will move
at the rate of ten feet minute, and
one is calculated to do the work of the
whole of the lifts at the Bank station.
It will always be moving, and can car
ry 5000 people an hour. In the re-
mote case of breakdown the spiral
becomes at once a fixed staircase

Light DiscOlOrs Gems.

The discoloration of precious stones
when they have been exposed to the
air a long time is well known. Emer-
aids, rubies and sapphires are less sus-
ceptible, but are not exempt from
change. If two rubies of the same
shade are kept for, say, two years, one
in a showcase and the other in abso-
lutte darkness, an examination of the
stones at the end Of that time will in
variably show that the showcase ruby
has become distinctly lighter in color.
The most sensitive of all stones to
variations of light is the opal. This
stone draws it's marvellous rainbow re-
Elections from numerous little clefts,
which allow the light to pass and re-
fleet it in different directions. Often
the opal stands the manipulations of

Letter From w. J. Dyer.

CAVALIER. N. DA., May %, 1902.
EDITOR HERALD:-If you will take
the trouble to look on the map you
will find me in the northeastern corner
of North Dakota, II miles from the
Canada line.
I left Boscobel May 9Th and got here
the 18th with carload of horses be-
longing to Paul Humphrey and John
Tilley. Mr. Tilley is with me but we
left Humphrey at Minneapolis with a
car load of fancy drivers. We had a
letter from him the other day and he
said he had not sold any and was bust
ed until a man came along and wanted
him to break horse for him. So Pa
tient Paul thought he would earn a
few dollars and hooked the horse and
drove him all afternoon and fed him in
the evening. Then the owner came
and took him home and said he was
much obliged and if he did not go good
he would bring him back and drive
him some more.
The country from st. Paul to Brock
inridge Fargo, Grand Forks and all
the way 20 Cavalier is SO level you
can't tell which way is up hill. 1t puts
me in mind of the old Scotchman that
came to Dakota in early days. He was
a railroad contractor in the old coun-
try and when people here thought of
building railroad through his section
they naturally consulted the old man
about the cost Of construction. But
the old man said: "Tatt man, you can
not build a railroad in Dakota; don't
you see the country is as fat as plate
with no place to run the tunnels"
There are thousands of acres to pillow
for wheat, and the land is SO wet that
farmers cannotdo much of anything.
