Housework and Physical culture.

There are plenty of women who
scorn homework, but are devoted to
gymnasiums. Now, the best of all
around, indoor exercise is to be found
in the manifold duties of housekeep-
ing. busting, even cooking, bring
more than one set of muscles into
play, and none of them is more de-
structive to the beauty of the hands
than gymnasium work and outdoor
games. We are not advocating the
performing of all of the household du-
ties, without assistance of any kind,
but of parts of them. OF course, if
you have liking for the work, and
the strength, do it all if you want to,
but this is not advisable unless lack
of money is the inducement. There
are so many ways in which time can
be profitably spent-What-to-Ea

grand demonstration, including a pa
rade that will eclipse any previous af-
fair Of the kind.
The board Of control Of the Fifteenth
National Irrigation Congress will I'M
dertake to expend $4,000 providing
for and entertaining the congress. Two
weeks of enjoyment will be provided,
and visitors will be given the time Of
their lives. The days Of the session
will be quiet, In order that the atten-
ton of the delegates may not be dis
tracted from the main purpose Of the
congress, but other days will be full
of live program. Anticipating desire
onS the part Of visitors from other
states to see as much as possible Of
California, q series Of excursions will
be arranged for their benefit. These
will be run through the Sacramento
and San Joaquin valleys, and possibly
as far as the klamath project on the
north, the Truckee-C Carson project on
the east and the Yuma project on the
south.
North Dakota should have large
delegation at the Irrigation Congress
this year, as it has furnished a larger
amount to the reclamation fund than
any other state and, proportionately, is
getting less return. Moreover, the
subject Of national drainage. in which
this state is vitality interested, will
probably be up for discussion.

WRITTEN in BLOOD.
IT Is OK BLOOD, HOWEVER PRE-
clous BOOKS BROUGHT BY
iCELANDlc IMMIGRANTS.

Fargo Forum: Books written in
good red blood, now nearly three hum
dred years old, the letters still clear
and plain, is a sight well worth going
miles to see. There are but few such
books left in the world. One Of the
best collections Of these Is now safely
lodged In the great Scandinavian IL
brary Of the University Of North 2Da-
kota, Grand Forks. They are not writ
ten in human blood, for such was not
the custom in the far OF frozen island
Of Iceland whence these volumes
come. Ok blood was used, for this
was the only ink at that early time in
this northern land. The books are
bound in rough strips of beech wood,
reinforced with brass and iron clasps.
The paper is faded and brown, but the
curious old Morse letters, carefully
penned with a goose quill, are still
distinct and clear, although the bright
crimson Of the blood is somewhat
dimmed. These volumes are all on
religious subjects, and consist Of
psalms, Bible verses, and spiritual
teachings. 1, III
They are very precious books, after
their long wanderings with the Ice
landic immigrants from Iceland to
Canada, and from Canada to North
Dakota. But at last they.ar at home,
in their adopted land, even as the Ice
landers Of the state, and the thou
sands Of Danes, Norwegians and
Swedes are at home in their new COM
monwealth.
These curious old Icelandic books
are part Of a collection Of over ], 800
volumes Of Icelandic. Danish, Norwe-
gian and Swedish books, donated in
part by the Scandinavians Of the state,
and in part purchased in Norway ana
Sweden with money voted by the trus-
tees Of the university Excepting at
Cornell, there is likely not such an
other collection Of books on this CONT
pent. They cover all subjects yth-
ology, fiction, science. history, art, and
all that Is best, ancient and modern, In
the Scandinavian languages.

TISSUE income ana expenditure MUST
BE Made to Balance.
The day must come at some future
period Of sociological development
when the instinct Of self preservation
will overrule the pernicious habits and

that tissue income and expenditure

either is physiological sin which ma
tnre will surely avenge either on the
Individual or on his descendants; that

only be performed when effort is kept
well within the margin Of accomplish
ment; that luxurious idleness and arti-
fetal excitement, when carried beyond
the limits Of healthy counterpoise to
the daily routine Of active duty, bring
about their neurasthenic nemesis as
surely as overstrenuous endeayor, and
that the coming generation can be fit
