An Analogy.

In the late financial s%tringency a
clerk in one Of the New York banks
was trying to explain to a stolid old
Dutchman why the bank could not
pay cash to depositors as formerly,
and was insisting that he be satisfied
with Clearing House checks. But the
old man could not grasp the situa-
ton, and finally the president of the
bank was called upon to enlighten the
dissatisfied customer. After a de-
taIfsed explanation of the financial
situation the president concluded,
Now. my good man; you understand,
don't you?"
Yes" obviously replied the
Dutchman, II links | understand. It's
just like this: ven my baby wakes up

offered a fervent praye r, invoking the
divine blessing upon them. AS they
seemed to be worthy folk and not
pverburdened with this worlds goods
he prayed, among other things, for
material prosperity, AND besought the
Lord to greatly increase the mans
business, laying much }~stress on this
point.
In filling out the blanks it became
necessary to ask the man his business,

County of Long Distances.

The election judges for the north
east precincts in Butte County will
have a nice mileage claim to present
to that county for the delivery of the
ballot boxes. Judges from two Of the
precincts in that county went through
this city with the boxes on their way
to Belle Fourche. Making the trip
by way of Aberdeen, Huron, Pierre
to Belle Fourche, it is a distance Of
about 600 miles.
1t was either a trip that way by
rail or one Of $50 miles across coun-
try by team, and they selected the
rail trip as the shortest, as heavy
rains have badly swollen the streams
which they would have been COM
PEELED to cross by driving, with the
chances of waiting several days for
the streams to go down to allow them
to continue their journey. - Pierre

Not O Question Of Locality.

The truth is that there is too much
talk about the women in ono CITY or
State being better than the Eomen IN
some other city or State. Not but
they all deserve the highest praise
that can be bestowed upon them, but
because it sometimes is made to ap-
pear that any American wife falls
short in some way of being good
enough for the man who gets her.
The goodness and the loneliness Of
our women should not be made a local
question at all. Nor should the
choice Of a wife be permitted to de-
generate into a sectional question -

Effects of erfunles.

A great deal has been said and
written about the use Of perfumes
both in support of and against, but
the point always raised is merely
whether or not 1t is good taste. A
question seldom touched upon is tho
fact that perfumes have a certain
medicinal property or value.
The ancients recognized this medl-
cinal quality, and one Of the Latin
writer's has put more than a hundred
different scents on record as RENE
dies for various diseases. Among
these the violet is given a place high
er than any other flower. To possess
this medicinal value it is, of course.
essential that the essence should be
pure and made from the flower. A
large percentage of the violet water
on the market is only a chemical imi-
tation, and most chemical compound
perfumes are irritating to the nerves,
If not positively harmful.
The idea which our grandmothers
had of seeming the sheets with Law
ender was merely carrying out the
Did idea that lavender soothes the
nerves, and is a great sleep-promo-
Ter. Some refreshing perfumes are
stimulating, but lavender combines
refreshment and relaxation. =
Another perfume which has a dis
tinct medicinal value is jasmine. Old
writer's suggest it as a general tonic,
but add the. warning that, though
most beneficial when taken alone, 1t
IS in most compounds injurious, pro-
iucing nerve exhaustion and pro-
found depression.
Chemists find many interesting eX-
periments in the compromising OF
scents. Almost all perfumes have as
g basis ambergris of civet, and while
these ingredients are most essential
great care must be observed In their
use, as a grain too much will make
the scent distressingly irritating to
the wearer, to say nothing Of harm
less bystanders.
There are many persons who cam
not stand the scent Of some particu-
lar flower, which to people in gen.
eral is most agreeable. The most
striking illustration of the effect of a
scent is seen in the case of a person
suffering from hay-fever or rose
fever.
Another little-known characteris-
tic of scents is the quickness with
which they will awaken a soundly
sleeping person, even when repeated
calling or even shaking has failed
to do so. AS a rule, a person who is
awakened by an agreeable scent. a
delicate perfume, will rise in a cheer
full mood.-Harper's Weekly.

ORANGE TREE MOVES NORTH.
Botanists Attempting to Produce
Hardy Variety of Citrus.

Botanists in the employ of the
United States Department OF Agri-
culture hope to bring into being an
orange tree which will be as sturdy
as the apple tree; an orange tree that
will not perish in the chill Of north.
ern winter, which in December will
bear it's wreath Of snow and in MAY
it's garlands of bloom, and when
summer comes will yield fruit as
good as that sweetened in the south
sun.
This may seem to be an unnatu-
raj proposition, says the Technical
World, but it only seems so. No
violence upon the laws Of nature has
been or will be attempted. 1t is
simply an effort to make the citrus
tree which bears the sweet table
orange as hardy and insensible to
cold as the citrus tree which bears
The bitter, unedible orange. BY
crossing a citrus tree which grows
in the north and which bears an I'M
edible fruit with the citrus tree of
the south it is sought to beget a
plant in which will be combined the
good traits of each.
Government botanists are conf
dent that the results of this citrus
marriage will be a scion that will
grow and fruit at a latitude midway
between the northern limits of the
sweet and the bitter orange. If
this should be there might be orange
groves in Central Virginia, Middle
Kentucky, Southern Indiana, South
ern Illinois, Central Missouri and
Central Kansas. Think Of orange
groves around the homes of Rich
mond, Louisville, Cincinnati, st.
Louis and Kansas City!
