To any one who loves pretty mater
ials 1t is treat to go about the stores
now, especially among the depart
ments where they are as glad to show
you the new goods and garments as
you are to see them, and l find our
local stores exceedingly obliging in
this respect.
Although the short coats and jack
cts are the popular style for spring
and summer wear there will be good
many coats of medium length worn
by ladies who never look we'll in the

The soft grays which are so abund-

suits have among them scarcely a
shade that is not pleasing. What a
splendid setting they are going to be
for hats and color.

The higher education for women and
race suicide are going hand in hand,
and that the percentage of marriages
among college bred women lend color
to the statement that women's COL
leges promote celibacy was asserted
by DR.. William l.. Felter, principal of
the Girls High school in Brooklyn, in
an address before the Adelphi college
convocation. After giving a lot of
statistics in regard to birth rate
among educated women, he continues:
1T is evident that if the race de-
pended upon the educated classes for
replenishment, it would be doomed to
speedy extinction. Any college that
depends upon the children of it's grad
yates for fresh students would be
doomed to extinction. An examination
of the question thus far inclines one
to the view that if higher education
became universal, posterity would be
gradually eliminated, and the schools
and teachers would progressively ex-
terminate the race.
There is actual danger of the pos
sibility of higher education among wo-
men becoming fad. If the women's
colleges are established chiefly to de-

Eclipse of the Moon.

There was an eclipse on the moon
last evening, and had it been clear,
would have been plainly discernable
in Grand Forks. The eclipse began at
11:57 o'clock, three minutes before
midnight, and if the conditions had
been favorable it would have been
worth losing some sleep to witness.
The eclipse was total at 1888, or two
minutes to 1. The eclipse remained
total for hour and SO minutes. The
moon left the earth's shadow at 3.37.
The total length of the eclipse was 8
hours and 81 minutes. The great
length of the total observation of the
moon is explained by the fact that
the earth's shadow is three times the
diameter of the moon. At the time
the eclipse began the moon was due
south, and passed a little above the
center of the earths shadow.

City Thriving.
The Golden Grain Biscuit company
Is doing splendid business even at
this season of the year when trade in
the several lines manufactured by this
concern is dull. The company en-
ploys fifty-five people in the manu-
factory alone, and there are five trav-
cling men on the road. Two hundred
and seventy-five barrels of flour are
consumed monthly in the bread de-
partment, besides rye. barley and
other side lines. The bread has be-,
come North Dakota staple and is sold
in almost every town and hamlet in
the northern part of North Dakota
and Minnesota. The bread is so pack
ed that it will keep fresh and sweet
for a week to ten days. The prices
are such that the average family of
five persons can buy the bread used
from the agents of this concern cheap
er than they can buy the flour and
make the bread at home. The COM
pany is aluable addition to the BUSH
ness of Grand Forks.

Scalp Is Stitched 'onto Head.

A peculiar accident occurred near
Burlington on the 500 railway. Harry
Stewart was fireman on a freight.
The engine broke away from the ten
der while he was in the gangway and
he fell directly in front of the train.
He was rolled over and over and one
leg terribly crushed, but the most re-
markable thing about the accident was
that he was scalped as smoothly as
the most atrocious Indian of a century
ago could have done the job. The
scalp hung by. a small piece, was
washed off and stitched back on and
is knitting again to his head.

RAILROADS
PLANTING TREES FOR TIES.
Canadian Pacific Railway Adopts New
Scheme.

Scheme.
The Canadian Pacific has decided to
plant large quantities of young trees
at various points along its prairie
lines, SO as to be able in the future, to
supply its own ties and fenceposts.
The company fully appreciates the
fact. that some day will come when the
trees and lumber will reach high
prices, SO it is now preparing to meet
the emergency by establishing and
maintaining tree plantations in the
west, and thus have in due time a
good supply of its cwn. to draw from
when needed.
The wood best adapted for railway
ties is birch. This grows rapidly on
the western prairies. AS the trees
grow to large size and begin to
crowd one another, they will be thined
out for fence posts.

ground to death under the wheels. The
passengers were badly shaken up, but
uninjured. The engineer and fireman

SLOW MAIL SERVICE.

a writer in morning daily paper complains
of poor mail service between Salt Lake and St,
Thomas New. The letter itself was six days in
transit from st. Thomas to Salt Lake From ST.
Thomas to Overton, eight miles, the mail is car
ried by pony service and from Overton to Moapa,
the railroad station, fourteen miles, by stage Ex-
planning the slow transition, our contemporary
says:
This stretch of twenty-five miles it would seem
to be easy to cover in three hours But Overton is
the distributing point for all the postofices of the
district, including that of St. George Utah Our
correspondent complains that the distributing
postmaster at Overton holds the st. Thomas mail
fortyeght hours so that it is at least three days
covering the twenty-five miles of road; that let.
ter leaving Salt Lake City Saturday lies over
at Moapa until Tuesday, is held at Overton two
days and arrives at st. Thomas on Thursday
night"
This is not as slow as the service rendered in
Salt Lake. The Intermountain Catholic, published
on Friday morning in time for the early mails, does
not reach many of its subscribers till Monday or
Tuesday, and very often not at ALL Last week
copies Of the paper properly addressed to Denver
were returned to the Intermountain Catholic letter
box. subscriber in San Francisco writes: II do
not get my paper till Thursday" The matter has
been reported to the postoffce authorities months
ago regarding the city delivery, which should take
place Friday, and the only explanation offered
was "that there was not sufficient help, and car
riers who worked overtime would be fined" Com
plants from city subscribers come every week.

pose Christianity in the very of Christianity
by assuming the garb of a Christian preacher, to
give, instead of real Christian truths, something
entirely different.
Christianity has been believed for twenty
centuries, represents the Divinity on earth. The
child born in the manager was truly God and man.
The proofs given to sustain the claim were ade-
quate and sufficient to convince the most learned
philosophers and scientists of the last nineteen
hundred years. But some of our modern Christian
preachers deny all this and give US something new
instead. In denying and opposing the divine origin
OF Christianity they oppose God and the something
which they give as a substitute is either man or
nothing, i. e., their own simple opinion or zero
When the French infdels and European atheists of
the eighteenth century warred against Christianity
they had nothing to oppose to It but hatred. Their
opposition was entirely based ON malignant hatred.
1t passed away, because hatred is unnatural and
cannot always last. Christianity and love mean
the same
In denying the Incarnation and the divinity of
the Savior modern unbelieving Christian
preachers have simply to fall back on what is hui
man for their support. The same is true when the
Scriptures RELOCATED to the category of poetry
and legends The preacher opposes Christianity in
the name Of Christianity and the something which
we get substitute is mans supremacysover God,
the vagaries and contradictions of finite mind for
the infinite attributes of God.

WALL STREET GAMBLING.

| The Wall Street Journal has made discovery.
In its issue of the 26th ult, it says:
paris is not France, nor is New York the
United States. New York Is far from being the
United States a 1t neither creates the
wealth of the country, does it exercise an in
huence over the public of the country in any pro-
portion to the volume of its transactions This Is q
fact upon which Wall street may well ponder, for
upon it depends the value and security of the
shares in which it deals"
The Intermomtain Catholic, in its issue of
Auril &c. 1904 expressed the same idea in the fol-
| lowing wordsa
"There was a time when Wall street dealt In
stocks which represented honest and actual values
and at that time the prices of those stocks were
fair index to business conditions. Of late years,
however, this has changed and in these days
the stocks which are dealt in on Wall street are
manipulated without reference to their actual value
or business conditions, and solely with a view of
separating a gullibe public from its money.
Within the past year the public has become wise
in this respect, and las refused to be worked any
longer with the result that the Wall street stocks
have slumped badly, and the enterprising manip-
ulators have come to grief. Meanwhile the actual
business throughout the country is more prosper
GUS than before"
It is refreshing to note that the leading news
paper of Wall street has finally made the startling
discovery and painful admission that Wall street
does not control the financial destinies of the
country. Nowadays business men look on with
amusement at occurrences in Wall street, which,
a generation ago, would have caused universal
panic. For instance, during last month, interest
rates in Wall street rose to over 100 per cent per
annum less cause than that brought on the
panic of "Back Friday" in 1872, one of the worst
in the history of the country. Today it caused
about much excitement in banking and business
circles as the report of horse race or football
game.
This RELOCATING of Wall street to its proper
place as gambling resort, removes a great men
ace to the stability of business conditions So
long as it was within the power of few unscru-
pulous stock gamblers to brighten the country into
a panic, no one could tell at what moment disas-
trous panic might be precipitated. With the con-
troll of such matters in the hands of those actually
engaged in producing the wealth of the country,
and interested in the growth and stability of BUSH
ness, long stride has been made toward perma-
nent prosperity.

MODERN CHRISTIANITY.

The anniversary of the birth of Christ was the
subject of many articles in the daily papers, month
ly magazines and quarterly reviews. From the pull
pits his life was portrayed his virtues extoed and
his example commended. 1t shows that the domi-
nant spirit of the age tends to some form of be-
lief Unlike the last half of the eighteenth century
when nfdels and atheists made their bold denials
of religion and God the present age is either en-
tirey Indifferent, or in search of some form of be-
lief that will satisfy their religious aspirations Alb
solute negations belong to the past. The present
age refuses to be taken into the vortex of debate
ON the question of religion or no religion The non
churchgoers are calm and Indifferent, being con-
scious of the fact that their lives are cleaner purer
and honester than those of many active church
members. They remain Indifferent but give their
hearty approval to what they consider good in the
workings of religion, and condemn the inconsistent
cies which they witness daily between the active
Christian workers profession and their actions.
They are no enemies of the real and true Chris
tan On the contrary, they its best silent
advocates. But the real enemies are those who OPP

suicide to the women's clubs. The average num-
Der of children to the married members of the Gen
eral Federation Of Women's clubs, she declares,
is only two while the average number of offspring
borne by the mothers of these married women was
three and one-haI Then she says:
"The average age of the membership of the
women's clubs in the country is 80 years The
average age of the youngest children of the mar
ried members is II years careful investigation
of the membership of women's clubs shows that
only one married woman in sixteen becomes a

Real permanent happiness here below comes by
living and hoping for supernatural end which is
mans true destiny. World reformers, who seek to
establish political and social order, in which all
human wants will be satisfied, all human restraints
removed, all sorrows, wants, dsagreements and sad
ness make way for peace, plenty, love and JOY, at
tempt the impossible The mission of Christ was
not to remove the ills and woes of society. By ex
ample he taught patience and resignation, thereby
converting the miseries of life into the richest of
blessings. His advent was display of the great
ness, majesty and glory of his Heavenly Father,
but an object lesson of his humility. He was born
of an humble virgin; lived in poverty and want;
selected for the continuation of his work. not the
conquering heroes of many battles, but humble fish
ermen. The nearest approach to happiness that
can be attained earth is in following his example
and adhering to his teaching.
