Hanscom of the New London yards
states the Dakota will be ready for
launching in a little over two months.
1t is probable that the two great
sister vessels will be commissioned
and enter, upon their great trip
around the Horn about the same date.
What their advent upon the Pacific
Ocean means to the Pacific commerce
of America, one may guess from the
fact that each of these vessels will be
able to carry 1875 train loads of mer.

train.

DIVERSIFIED

Dakota Farmer: The diversified
farmer marks the agricultural pro
gress attained in rural communities.
He is in partnership with the COW,
the hog and tho creamery. Mixed
farming in all it's form is but tho
production and fostering of these
sources of wealth. The wheat farm
er'robs the soil, 'devours his living
and moves onward to newer fields.
But the small farmer is not so. He
is a permanent citizen. He is the
mainstay of his community for he
permits nothing to go to waste. He
enriches the fertility of his soil, his
cattle turn the straw and fodder in
to beef. his hogs make over the milk
and grain into pork, and his creamery
is the triumph Of all, for it is the
gold mine gathered up. In commun.

A HINT TO BUSINESS MEN

The mon of Devils Lake may as

One of the needs at present is a mar

their products, tie, their teams, etc.
In a number of cities "rest rooms
have been established which have
proven a great success. These rooms
are provided with. c%onveniences for
ladies and children and are maintain
ed at the expense Of the merchants.
At present there are practically no

may be hitched. This is annoying to

trade that formerly came to this place.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.

Few people realize the enormous

greatest cargo carrier in the world,
which was launched last week. This
is one of the immense steamships j.

Orient trade. The other ship, which
will be christened the Dakota, and
which will be a duplicate of the
Minnesota, will be launched a few
months hence.

DISAPPEARING BIRDS.
A Magic Trick That Il Performed by
the Little California PART
ridges.

Young birds have to be taught q
great many things, but there are
some feats which they know with
out instruction. In large open-air
cage in the New York Geological
park is coyey OF six California
partridges, about one-third grown,
and their little bantam stepmother.
She dozes at one end Of the range
or walks slowly about, pecking
among the blades of grass, The
small sextet keep close together,
and if we watch them for several
minutes, we will see some Of the
things which must have come to
them as their feathers and little bills
came from the egg, writes g. Will
liam Beebe, curator Of ornithology,
New York Geological society, in the
New York Tribune. Unlike the hen,
they are suspicious Of your every
movement, but in q short time they
forget that you are not q lifeless
tree trunk or other harmless object
near their cage, They select q sunny
spot, always on the dead leaves.
never on the green grass, and here,
after much cuddling and pushing,
but never peep, they squat, usually
in an irregular circle with heads out
ward. Unless there are dead leaves
or some similarly -cplored surface in
their cage, they never settle down
contentedly for sun bath.
We watch them nestle close to the
ground and close their eyes; then
some movement OF the part of the
hen may attract our attention for a
moment, and, on looking back again,
we are amazed to find the little birds
have disappeared. It is fact that
if we lose sight Of them even for a
short time, the eye at first refuses
to distinguish them from the dried
leaves. Their little backs are dull,
dark brown in color, broken by ir-
regular fine white lines, very much
like the mold lines on fallen leaves,
while the lighter sides Of the head,
instead Of being at all conspicuous,
are exactly like the lighter shades
of some old leaves, the imitation be-
ing more perfect from the fact of
the coloring being thus broken up.
Even the little brush of upraised
feathers in their headshints of the
beautiful recurved helmets of the
old birds appear like small, frayed
out pieces of grass or leaf

SAVED BY GOOD MEMORY.


= An Australian paper reported, as
long ago as 1886, the following scene
which occurred in the supreme court
Of Sydney, during trial for rob-
berry: An alibi was pleaded for the
prisoner. At the time Of the rob
berry he was in his own hut, listen
ing to the recital of Horace Wal
poles "Old English Baron" which a
man named Lane had, with other
novels, committed to memory. Lane
was two hours and half repeating
the tale, relates Golden Penny.
This statement seemed so incred-
ible that the attorney general, for
the prosecution, asked Lane if he
really meant to assert that he could
occupy two hours and half with
his recitation. II could" replied the
witness, "and WILL, if you please"
"We'll have page or two," said the
attorney general, and to the great
surprise, not less of the learned gem
tleman than of the court and audi
tory, the witness, after a preliminary
"Hem!" commenced:
'In the time of King Henry, when
the good Duke Humphrey returned
from the wars in the Holy Land,
where he had been sojourning for a
number of years, there lived" and
so he went on for several minutes.
in a tone and manner which showed
that he knew every word of the book,
until he was stopped by the attorney
general, who confessed he was salts
fed.
But the counsel for the defense
was not; doubts had been cast upon
Lanes veracity, and he should be al
lowed to prove it, with the time oc-
cupied in the recitation, by speaking
the whole novel; The chief justice
was in great CONSERVATION at this,
and exclaimed:
"But do you expect me to take it
DOWN.
At last the matter was compro-
missed, the man of memory giving
the concluding portions of the story.
AS consequence the prisoner was
discharged.
