For Violent Transit.

A book by Edwin J. :Dingle. entitled
"Across China OH Foot" contains a
bit of practical advice about the man
ner in which American goods SHOULD
be packed for transportation in the
interior Of China. Conditions are such
that the packing should be thoroughly
done. The Germans and the Japanese
understand this; British and American
manufacturers are either careless In
this respect or ignorant of what is de
manded by the conditions Of transpor.
tation over roads that are mainly eight
inch tracks along the face of preci-
pieces.
One of MIR. Dingle's friends, needing
a typewriter and knowing the country,
wrote home explicit directions as to
the packing. Pack it ready to ship
he wrote. then take it to the top Of
your Office stairs, throw it downstairs,
take the machine out and inspect, and
IL it is unchanged send it to me. II
damaged, pack another machine and
subject it to the same treatment until
you are convinced that you have one
that can stand being thus handled and
escape injury"

Shooting the Seal.

Seals are caught in a variety of ways,
but they are very shy creatures and the
greatest caution must be exercised in
approaching them. Even when they
have been struck by harpoon or rifle
bullet the blow must be fatal and death
instantaneous, or the animal will drop
into its hole in the ice and be seen no
more. Indeed, the fact that seal sell
dom moves far from its hole adds con-
siderably to the hunters difficulties.
The plan usually adopted by Eskimo
hunters is to build up kind Of tent
sledge The sides and front are mask
ed with bearskin, the top with the pelt
Of hare. The native hides within this
novel tent and inch by inch propels
himself over the ice till he is near his
quarry The rifle with which he Stays
his seal is brought into use through a
loophole in the sledge covering.

Whitefield, the great preacher, who
toward the middle Of the eighteenth
century started such a revival of re-
ligion in all the colonies, was, OF
course, a man Of too much ability to
escape the serious regard of Franklin
who relates that he attended one OF
his sermons. fully resolved not to con
tribute to the collection at the close
Of it.
II had in my pocket" he says, "a
handful of copper money, three OF
four silver dollars and pistoles in
gold. AS he proceeded began to
soften and concluded to give him a
copper. Another stroke Of his oratory
determined me to give him the silver
and he finished so admirably that
emptied my pocket wholly into the
collectors dish, gold and ALL"
Franklin and Whitefield became fast
friends, and Whitefield often prayed
Cor his friends conversion, but "nev

ton Of believing that his prayers were

fCkeIS0n'S History

About thirty or tnirty-fve years age
a few settlers came to this neighbor
hood and after few years they start
ed town which they called Eckelson
Now these settlers, like most other old
settlers, had a hard time to get along
in those early days. S. B. McLain
Jake Harshman, 'Chas. Flynn, ST., and
lib. Scouten are among the earliest set.
tiers of this neighborhood.
>Eckelson was situated on the North
ern Pacific railway, one half mile
west OF a large lake which they called
Lake Eckelson. This lake was about
nine miles long and three-quarters of
a mile wide. Eckelson was on level
prairie about forty feet above the lake
level. There was ravine which led
from the town down into the lake,
thus carrying off all water from the
street into the lake.
This town Eckelson soon grew to be
quite size. 1t had one elevator, one
store, one saloon, one section house,
one water tank, one pump house, one
school house and about five or six
dwellings. The dry goods store was
managed by E. r. Lawrence, the real
estate builder and starter of Eckelson,
now in California. Mr.. Lawrenc, al
ways spoke for Eckelson, and worked
for it also. L believe that if we had
him here today Eckelson would soon
be city Of good size.
After number of years it became
necessary to move Eckelson farther
west for the reason that it was stu
ated at the base of steep grade and
all heavily loaded trains stopping at

the depot for water etc., had this
grade to climb. which generally was
too much for the engines. In that way
the railway company would lose toe
much. time. At first it was decided
to move it only one mile west, but a
committee got together and decided
to move it half mile farther which
would make it one mile and halt
west of it's old location. This made it
easier for all trains going both east
and west, although it is still very
hard for freights sometimes going
west on account of the grade. They
moved the section house, school house,
store and dwellings on rollers while the
depot and elevator were moved on
fiat cars. The water tank was taken
to Sanborn on a fiat car and is still
there
Burton Scanten. Mr.. Scanten sold the
most of the land on which Eckelson
now stands. We have NJ. Lawrence to
thank for Old Eckelson and Mr.. Scan
ten for the upbuilding ofNew Eckelson.
Today Eckelson is a anice town with
two stores, a bank, hotel, butcher shop,
pool hall, lumber yard, ice cream par
lor, livery barn, blacksmith shop, L. X.
A. hall, garage, depot, two coal sheds,
section house, three large elevators
and a 5000 bushel elevator under con-
struction, school house, church start
ed and about ten or eleven dwellings,
with a population of about 100.
Eckelson has fairly nice location,
being four miles from the western
boundary Of Barnes county on the N.
p. railway and about sixteen miles
west of Valley City the county seat.

A Record Hailstorm,

One of the worst hailstorms ever
known in the United States occurred
Sept. 5, 1893, in Nodaway county, Mis-
souri,. The path Of the storm was
about three miles wide and eighteen
mics long, it's greatest violence being
felt over a region Of four square miles
east of Clarmont. At one point in this
region the fall Of hail was so heavy
that drift unprotected by artificial
means remained lying on the ground
for four weeks after the storm. At the
end of that time people in the neigh
borhood We're found gathering the hail
for the purpose of making ice cream.
During the storm cylindrical pieces OF
ice We're picked up four inches long
by about two and a half in diameter.
The growing corn was practically all
destroyed. In field of eighty acres
only one stalk was left standing.-Chi-

A Certain Silver sixpsnes.

Beau Brummel had very odd way
Of accounting for the sad change which
took place in his affairs at this time.
't1e used" observes one Of his friends
at Caen, when talking about his al
tered circumstances, to say that up to
q particular period Of his life every
thing prospered with him and that he
attributed his good luck to the pos
session of a, certain silver sixpence
with a hole in it, which somebody
had given him years before. with an
injunction to take good care Of it, as
everything would go well. with him SO
long: as lie did and vice versa if he
happened to lose it. The promised
prosperity attended him for many
years while he held the sixpence fast;
but, having at length in an evil hour
unfortunately given it by mistake to
hackney coachman, a complete, re-
verse of his previous good fortune took
place and one disastrous occurrence
succeeded another till actual ruin over
took him at last and obliged him to ex:
patriate himself. ''-Captain Jesse.
