Tears and the Insane.

"Tears are said to be a sign of san
ity. or at least of the readvent of rea-
son. No maniac ever weeps," said a
man on his way through an insane
asylum. But the keeper who was
guiding Him shook his head. "A pop
ular fallacy. superstition" he de-
clared. "The hopelessly insane weep
just as much as other folk Many
people, though. believe in the hopeful
significance of tears among the insane.
Only the other day young girl whose
mother is confined here said to me,
after a visit to her mothers room: I
am very happy. Mamma cried this aft
ernoon. It is the first time she has
cried. She is sure to get well now,
isn't she?' The poor young woman was
so overjoyed that hadn't the heart to
disillnsionize her. / agreed that her
mothers tears were hopeful sign.
and she went home with a lighter
heart than she had for long time
Time will teach her gradually, as il
has taught many other persons, tina,
tears, shed or unshed, have no bear
ing. one way or the other, on insanity

for mineral wealth 1t has dawned
upon the world that this section is
practically a virgin field. Railroads
and reduction works right at home,
as they VIII be during the year,
afford the stimulus needed to insure
the opening and development of
very large area of mineral ground
surrounding Tonopah on all points of
the compass Several hundred loca-
ton blanks have been furnished from
this office within the past week.
But what is of more immediate
local Importance is the fact that
number of the deepest openings in
Tonopah group are down into the
mineral bearing zone, peculiarly dis
tructve and and characteristic of
this district. Cross cutting, or
prospecting and development proper
is just fairly begun, outside of the
main big mines, the wealth and ex-
tent of which is already well known.
The era of great and rich strikes is
now close at hand.

granted the petition, and Buralli is
now life termer in the penitentiary
instead of being six feet under
ground, where he deserves to be.
1t has been intimated that politics
had considerable to do with the com
mutation of the sentence of Adamo
Buralli. 1t is just possible that this
is fact 1t is needless to state,
however, that those of the Board of
Pardons who voted for the commu-
tation need expect many American
votes in Lyon county. Should some
other italian kill countryman in
Dayton he will probably not be ar
rested, while if the next victim of a
knife or gun is an American, the peo-
pie will probably save the county and

"Pennsylvania Dutch" Roads,

The old saying, "As slow as a Penn.
sylvania Dutchman,' is brought to
mind again by the almost incompre-
hensible refusal, SO far, of the country
people OF that state to take advantage
OF the very liberal law passed by the
last legislature to promote the con-
struction of good roads. The common
roads OF Pennsylvania are no better
than those of Minnesota. The legisla-
ture appropriated, we believe. nine
millions of dollars to be used in i'm.
proving them; the state to pay five
sixths of the cost and the township in
which the improvement should be made
only one-sixth. Thus, out of every
S., 900 expended, the township is called
upon to pay only 1898. But some six
months have gone by since the passage
of the law, and so far, according to the
Philadelphia Press, very little purpose
has been indicated. in any part of the
state, to take advantage of it. Yet good
roads would save to the farmers of
pretty nearly every township the entire
amount of its contribution in single
year. II such an act should be passed
in Minnesota there would be general
scramble for it's Pioneer

n. p. Potato CroD Good.

In the Northern Pacific crop report
this week, the report says: "Minnesots
potatoes promise large yields and large
profits to the growers. Wyoming, II
the center of the great potato belt be-
tween St. Paul and Duluth, looks for E
''better yield and better grade'' thar
ever before. Rush City reports thai
the potato crop will be we'll up tt
former high averages, and of excellent
quality. Reports Of damage to pota
toes, caused by the recent excess ir
rainfall, are entirely lacking and the
growers have safely recovered from
fear on that score.''
The same report says of general con
ditions: minnesota as a whole shows
excellent conditions, and the prospect
OF very good crop. Thrashing is al
ready in progress at many points anc
will be general over the western an6
northern portion of the State in an
other week. In the southern part O:
the State much grain is already safely
housed. The thrashing crews are al

Dakota, which do not expect to handle
any large amount of grain for ten days
The northwest is not in better condi
tion than the states to the west, which
through to the Pacific coast, return
uniformly favorable reports. In the
Pacific states the harvest is well adj
vanced and thrashing is general. Ir
Montana the harvest is in progress anc
the yield everywhere is good"
