A Feat Of Memory.

Some light is thrown on the possibil-
tiles of L:C;aory culture by an interest
ing recital contained in the autobiog-
raphy Of Robert Houdin, the famous
conjurer. lie taught his son to glance
at, say. a SHOP window and to memo
rize accurately, as III a brain picture,
the windows contents. Then he would
ask him to describe the contents, check
ing and correcting him as he went on.
On one occasion Houdin was COM
manded to the Tuileries to give q per-
Torrance before the French court. AS
he passed through an antcroom to the
saloon he babe his son note the arrange
ment of the rooms Inc the contents Of
the bookcases. Then at the close of the
entertainment Houdin astonished his
audience by giving what he called a
second sight" test. Declaring his IN
familiarity with the Tuileries, Houdin,
blindfolding his son, asked him to send
his gaze through the wall of the ROOF
to the chamber beyond. to describe the
arrangement of the chamber and to
read the titles of the volumes on the
shelves of the bookcases. This feat the
young lad accomplished, to the aston
ishment of the court.

Cream S%eparators.

The DeLaval Baby Separator is
without question the best machine
on the market. 1t is also the cheap
est machine considering its construc-
tion and the work it will do. You
a buy our separator on terms Of
payments to suit you.
Our separators are all new. They
have not been toted over the country
in canvasser's wagons, or used and re-
turned. We do not canvass the coun-
try, but always have agood supply on
hand. Why do some farmers buy an
inferior separator just because some
agent leaves it at your house. You
can have the very best by coming
after it, or let us know and we will
send one out and start it for you.
You need not buy it unless it is the
best in the market and you are the
judge after trying it. Please let me
hear from you.

The Elegance of Which Wesley

The Elegance of Which Wesley
Wrote Has Long Departed.
John Wesley was the guest Of Lady
Mora at MORA House. Usher's island.
Dublin, in 1775. Writing of the house,
the great Methodist said: II was
surprised to observe, though not a
more grand, yet a far more elegant
room than any I have ever cen in
England. 1t was an octagon about 20
feet square and Is or 16 feet high, hav-
ing one window-the sides Of it inlaid
throughout with mother of pearl
reaching from the top Of the room.
The ceiling, sides, furniture Of the
room were equally elegant. And must
this, too, pass away like a dreamW
Half a century ago the elegance Of
which Wesley wrote departed from
MORA House. The Mendicity institu-
ton dismantled it, took down the int
rior decorations and covered the gar
dens with offices. 1t is today IS dis
NAL looking a place as is to be seen in
or around the Irish capital, which has
many reminders that it was once a
capital in deed as we'll as in name.
Among other notable visitors to Mora
House in the days of it's glories was
Charles James Fox, who there me-
Henry Grattan. 1t was in Mora House
too, that Pamela found q refuge while
her husband, Lord Edward Fitzgerald
was dying in Dublin Newgate not fa1
away across the river Liffey.

Barley extends over a wider climatic
range than any of the other grains and
Is successfully cultivated over a great
er breadth of the globe than any other
cereal. 1t f1ourishes under the heat
and drought Of the borders of the torrid
zone and grows sturdily and maturely

zone, ripening and thriving under vari-
Gus adverse circumstances which wheat
is wholly unable to resist. Barley is
found in the Farce islands, near Cape
North, the extreme point Of Norway;
near A%rchangel, IN the White sea, and
In central Siberia between So and SO
degrees north latitude. In genial eli
mates, such as those Of Egypt, Barbary

barley may be reaped in the same year,

The Sudan.
The Egyptian Gazette says that,
while the Sudan will take several years
more to develop, there are practically
no limits to the possibilities for OUT
side capital which the recovered prov
inces afford. With great tracts Of fer
tile soil now producing little but jungle
and with a water supply only needing
scientific storage and distribution to
fulfill all requirements, there is no rea-
son why the. Sudan should not become
one Of the worlds greatest granaries.

A Lost Combination.

The Chinese had all the grand secrets
Of electrical discoveries more than 5000
years ago, and they made use Of the
magnet as loadstone long before that.
Historical records show where their ar
mics were led across the vast plains of
the interior of the nation by a combi-
nation Of electricity as a combined
power Of l~oadstones and some other
substances unknown to the Celestials
Of the present day.
This form Of electricity is among the
lost arts and must come to the front
with other grand discoveries within the
next few years. But not the great and
learned shall have the benefit of this
Forthcoming discovery in electricity
The one who shall have this golden
key to a grand electric mystery shall
have the fruits OF his labors.

The Express. Train of tho. Future.

The Express Train of the Future.
On the experimental railroad built by
the German government between Ber-
lin and Zossen a new type Of express
train is to be tested next year. The
specifications require that the train
shall maintain a speed of seventy-four
and a half miles an hour for three con
secutiye hours. In order to diminish the
air resistance as much as possible the
entire train, including the locomotive,
will be inclosed in a shell Of sheet steel
jointed so as to secure %1exibility in
rounding curves, uniform in size from
end to end and presenting no projec-
tons to catch the air. The front of the
engine will be wedge shaped, and the
wheels will be of the disk instead Of
the spoked pattern and will be inclosed
as far as possible by the protecting
sheath. Steam is to be the motive
power, the previous experiments hav-
ing shown that electric motors at high
speeds unduly strain the track

The proposition submitted to the
voters Of the state Of New York to
appropriate $1O1, 100000 for the
purpose Of enlarging the Erie cam
al, was carried at the election last
week. The railroad officials de-
clare that If the canal is rebuilt
"the railroads will put it out OF
business within a year, and render
it as useless as the existing Erie
canal" There is but one way
that this can be done and that is
by reducing freight rates SO low
that canal shipments can not COM
pete, and if this is done the pur-
pose Of the promoters of the canal
scheme will have been accomplish

The extra session of congress
called for the purpose Of consider
ing the reciprocity treaty with Gu
ba, assembled on Monday Of this
week. The treaty to be consider
ed was passed by the senate dur
ing the last session OF congress,
but the house refused to pass it.
1t has since beenS ratified by the
Cuban congress. TIE measure ap-
pears to have gained some strength
since the adjournment of the last
session Of congress and it is believ-
ed that majority OF both houses
would now favor reciprocity in
some form, but whether this par
ticular treaty will be passed is a
question. The objection seems to
be more to the manner in which it
came up than to the bill itself. The
constitution provides that all reve-
nue. measures shall originate in the
House. This treaty provides for a
regulation Of the tariff on sugar,
and originated in the Senate. The
House members feel that, to sane
ton this treaty would be virtually
surrendering their constitutional
rights to the Senate. lfa motion
is in order we move that the con-
stitution be amended SO as to re-
quire the election Of U. s. senators
by popular vote, and then, being 9
purely representative body like the
house, that they be given coordi
nate powers.

In reference to the secession Of
Panama from the Colombian gov
eminent the Sioux Falls Press
thinks that the United States has
important duties to perform. The
Panama railroad is largely owned
by capitalists of this country, and
it is the duty of this government to
protect the interests Of its citizens.
Our negotiations for the purchase
Of the Panama canal project make
it obligatory for us to also protect
the interests of the canal company.
The Press further says:
There are therefore at least two
good excuses for stretching line
sof United States soldiers across the
isthmus and it happens coincident-
ly that the United States can spare
from other duties just the number
Of marines to occupy the ground,
about 800. It is another fortunate
circumstance that this number Of
marines is conveniently near by,
the way ships run, and that there
are enough idle vessels of war in
sight to convey them to the scene.
While these fortuitous circum-
stances may not be wholly attrib-
lsutable to the guiding will Of Provi-
Edence, it is at least worthy OF no.
tice in this connection that we are
near the head of the class Of chris
tian nations, and therefore in IA
vor.

has persistently opposed the ad

The farmers of Union and Clay
counties are up against the con-
stitution. On account OF the fre-
quent flooding Of the bottom lands
along che Missouri river it was
proposed to build a system Of
drainage canals, and five or six Of
these water courses were laid ont.
The state law provides that the
scost3of such bitches shall be as-
ssessed on the adjoining lands 10
proportion to the benefit received,
but the state constitution provides
that all taxation shall be equal.
The conflict has made it n.acz zAsary
to suspend further action until the
state law and the constitution can
be harmonIzed. But the troubles
Of the Clay and Union county far
mers is light compared to those Of
the Iowa farmers who own land
along the Missouri river south Of
Sioux City. Efforts we're made to
construct drainage canals for that
region, but it was found thatmuch
Of the land flooded is below the
bed Of the river. The. constitution
of South Dakota can be changed to
