Five miles long end drains 10,000 acres, the high turnpiked roads are but strips of dizt between the canals. .~ The anncal rainfall for this region is about 27 inches and does'not -differ much frem that of orwer parts of Minnesota. It is not-that they have too much rainfall, but that the excess moisture which finds freedom in smali streams and rivers in other sections of the stdte, in this flat region, remains where it falls irom la¢ck of a natural slope of the ground to start it down 1-coulee or valleg. As in Holland they must construect anaks to carry off excess storm: water which must be pumped up into canals, as the couniry is ico flat to create r, Keey “open natural channels, so in the Rea tuver val}‘xey man has been obliged to supply a similar outlet for ,m;ph:]:\; stornr water. And to carry the \nalogy still further, as in Holland rhsiy must ‘combat {he sea as well and build great dikes to_keep it from overflowing their lands, <o the ;R«’:d river at ‘times of extreme floods becomes almost an inland sea—five to ten miies: wide—befoie which the early - settlers must- fiee for lack of the well-built dikes furaishing sccurity to the Hollander. - In"most parts of the country the natnural slope of the land is from ten to twenty feet per mile. In this valley the general slope toward the west to the Red rviver—the natural and only outlet for storm waier—is from two 1o four feet to the mile. This is not sufficient to maintain a natural water eourse, with its usual bends. tosay r’l'dth—ing of originally making such.* A few wend théTt way across this flat area, but with such a siow flow that at times of heavy rains They become more like lakes than rivees, = : ; The first attempt to lessen the dainage from insufficient natural drainage was made about 1879 These were smail ditches- made by the Great Northern railroad and large land owners with the hope of freeing their’lands of:this surplus -water. - . . o _Forty to fifty of these ditches were dug from one to five miles in length each. While thess picneer ditches did not fulfill the main object for which they were dug—their small size and " inadequate outlet being their chief fawlts—yet they proved-to the settiers what might -be accomplished with neore money, coupled with engineering skill. - o The first ‘concerted move toward a solution was made m July._l'BBs(},l\\'lwn-’a ._____=_.;%;_.,._...-__'—_.,:,,, e ot et - A Skillful Evasion.” = ¢ “B—hut T thought the cannibal king was banting and was not eating any meat,” protested the shipwrecked sailor. e “So.he is,” responded tie cannibal queen, grimly, “but he regards you as seafood.

convention was called at Crooligton to formulate a plan :of action.. Delegates from. nearly all the Red River valley eounties were present. It was decided that an accurate topographic survey was the firct thing needed. and $lO,OOO was subseribed by the counties fo prosecute this work. - President James J. Hill contributed a like suni for this part of the work. ‘ : v The .cxlr\"’e.’y, was made and an exhaustive report was submitted, which established fully the. feasibility of the general drainage plan. e Afier several ineffectual attempts the legislature of 1893 passed a bill creating the Red River valley drainage commission and appropriated $lOO,OOO with which to begin the work. " To date about $300,000 has been expended in this work, the Great Northern railroad having contributed $25.000 of this amount, ; ‘Abott 150 miles of main ditch have been dug. P This® work has been done with re-. markable foresight and economy, due largely to the tireless efforts of its president, Mr. Ezra G. Valentine, of Breckenridge. ~ ‘ Gov. Nelson, an ex-officio member of the commission, took an active intérest in the work and personally inspected many. of the ditches both during construction and aflter eompletion. The ditclies are from three to fourteen milés in length ‘and wvary in cize from four feet deep and ten feet wide to eight f@bl‘ deep and forty feet wide. In%cost they varied from $5.000 to $25:000 . . : The ditches are the joint property of the state and (‘:ount.'g in which they are 1()(‘31,.9(1. ~The county must make.such repairs as. recommended by the state board of inspection. The system ‘as a whole is working with great saii'sl‘a(-tinn.'and the widespread system of land drainage Dboth county and private now being prosecuted throughout the valley furnishes abundant procf of the faith of the people in drainage. : 5 The legislatu\ro in 1897 passed an act authorizing the organization of what are known as sub-drainage districts This permits the farmers, whose land ‘can be drained by one main ditch to or‘ganize and proceed to survey, construct and pay -for glle ditch and divide the cost of the ditch equitably among the benefited landowners. [ To find to what extent this law had been taken advantage of a canvass has recently been made which, though not complete. shows that the following counties have ehgaged in drainage work under this law: Douglass, Le Seuer, Kittson, Kennebec. Martin, Cottonwood, B . _"’A ¢ %%;mmmg ‘ :-? -',:z.-_\\:‘k";,':' A b s SR ity WM RR A S e ,Jﬁ,... :.-". ? ,' :.E\:iv‘:«'“'.“t ot ; P ARG B e A R e Sand Hill River ditch, Polk - county, Minn. - Thia . ditch is over 14 miles long, from six to ten-feet deep and from 20 to 50 fee¢t wide. <lt cost over $25,000, and exerts a benelicial influence over fully 45,000 acres. Hubbard, Hennepin, Todd, Faribault, McLeod, Norman, Wilkin, Swift, -Benton and Polk. These 16 counties have constructed 112 ditches with a- ‘total length of 784 miles at a cost of $890,000; These ditches bring positive benefits to over 1,200,000 acres of land. - During -the coming season 12 counties are to .construct 35 more ditches; aggregating about, 175 miles. These will cost .about a quarter of a million dollars. 'Thé people do not tax themgelves voluntarily for improvements ‘which do not improve, and they are com‘ing‘.tu realize that drainage is among the great })gpeﬁts. i : : His- Excuse. : “How dare you, sir!” exelaimed the indignan{ girl. ; “l couldr't help it, Maud.” pleaded the now penitent young man.- “You were so maddeningly Kissable!” Still, it was fully ten seconds before she quite forgave him.—Chicago Tribuns. o .

USE WORN-OUT STOCKINGC. Turn Them to Good Account as Furniture Polishers, Iron-Holders ' and Scrub Cloths. . T The busy housewife, bewildered by the extra duties of housecleaning time, is apt to make short shrift of odds and éends, particularly half-worn winter clothing, which she banishes to the ash heap or the furnace room—and afterwards regrets, says a household authority. - This is particularly true of stogkinga worn beyond hope of mending. The most natural thing for a wife and mother to do in this day of cheap hosiery is to toss them aside. and thus miss the opportunity of utilizing them later for housekeeping devices. If there is a girl in the family who is deft with fingers and needles, she can contribute largely to the household conveniences if given a few simple directions about making use of old stockings. The first thing is to ent the foot off, fust above the heel, or if the seam is parting above thjs point, cut the legoft until the seam ceases to break. Then aplit the leg at the seam, sew two legs of the same size together in the form of a bag. turih them inside out and then turn ilf, whip the end so that there will be no raw edges, and you have the best of piano and furniture polishers. One pair, split and folded into a neat square the size of the hand, can be quilted and bound for an irgn holder. A piece of asbestos cloth laid between the folds of the stocking will add to the value of the holder. - ¢ < - Three or four. lisle or thin. cotton stocking legs sewed together will make the best of mirror or window polishers, because they shed no lint. Tour or five pairs sewed into long strips and slipped through the mop will make serub cloths. Wool stockings should be cut lengthwise. rolled up and saved for polishing shoes, for which they have no equal. CAT "CAME BACK-—TO LIFE. And "Papa” Was No Doubt Warm Within That “Mamma’s’’ Pet : Had Revived., !

It's bad enough to play the rolé of your wife’s husband, but his role was evidently several steps lower down in the social scale. He wasonly “‘papa’ to his wile's cat, relates the New York Times. She tenderly ourrie{l the darling in her arms down the aisle of the car, while he, with its basket, its blanket, and its bottle of milk, subserviently brought up the rear. ,( - i 3 J

“There now.” she said, addressing her feline pet,. “papa will put your basket near the window, so vou can look out.” ‘Papa did what was expected of him and then obtained‘grathpr ungracious permission to take a short leave of absence in.the smoking car. ' In the meantime Pussy’s nerves were evidently being set on edge by the sights and sounds about the railroad station, and when presently an express whizzed by on the next track there was a bristle and 'a yowl, and the Angora betame suddenly stiff and stark. ;

“Then wild cries for “John" resounded throughout ‘the car, and when at, last John's frightened face appeared in the doorway: i . ik

“Jehn—my cat—my dear oat—is dead!” wailed “mamma.” ‘“You would g 0 leave her—you would go and smoke your old cigar”—and catching the cat up in her arms she rushed to the water ccoler, where ‘she and the contrite “John” poured ice water on the head of the seemingly defunct feline until it began to show signs of life.

“She only lainted!"” announced “mamma’ at last to the amused passengers, as she walked triumphantly back to her seat, the restored pet in her arms, while “papa” brought up the rear. : USING ARTIFICIAL- LIGHT. The Best Method in Reading Is to v Have the Light Above * the Head. -

it is almost universally believed that the:-best form of reading lamp is one which, by means of an effective shade, concentrates the greater portion of the light upon the reading matter. Furthermore, the-lamp is usually one of the

“drep light” sort, which brings the flame near and below the reader's eyes. The result sought After is, that much light be precipitated on the page, and on the' page only, while the surrounding paris of the room be weakly illuminated. even to gloominess, says the Jewelers’ Weelkly Circular. !

If this condition be-obtained an ideal state of affairs is presumed to exist, and, at first, it looks very plaus¢ble, so plausible, indeed, that it is usually accepted as a positive fact not to be gainsaid. But it must be refuted. The custom, though of long standing and of almost unquestioned correctness, is a bad one, and doubly harmful because of _the strong hold it has upon the public mind. The best method of lighging artificially when the source of light is a bright one, is to place the light considerably above the head, holding thereading matter in such a position as.to be illuminated as much by the reflected light from the surrounding surfaces as from the direct raygs from the flame, thus creating an effect ‘more nearly ’resembling “daylight” conditions. : Puff Paste. : Malke a raspberry pie with puff paste, one quart of raspberries and sugar to taste. While the pie is in the oven heat a small teacupful of milk with a pinch of scda in it, and stir into it one-half. teaspoonfil of corn flour previously wetted with a little cold milk, and a tablespoonful of sugar.: Cook for three minutes. Pour the mixture into a basin and beat in the frothed whites of two eggs. Whip to a cream and let it get cold. When the pie is taken from the oven carefully lift the upper crust and pour in the cream mixture. Replace the crust and set aside to cool.—N. Y. Post. L Pleasing a Mostess. - First Tramp—How did yer manage to get! such a lot o' vit{Rs from that sour old maid? : .

History Repeated in Fashions

.z N TAKING a general sur--4 b\ vey of fashion, we see how BR Listory repeats itself, and % what famous historical A\ ¥/ epochs are represented in - the fashions of . 1904! We are wearing Medicis collars and Elizabethan sleeves and embroideries, and Marie Stuart coifs, and we are adopting every style peculiar to the days of the Louis, in coloring, texture, and design. e

Pompadour muslins are the rage of the hour. Chine, brocades, beautit‘ully‘ colored heavy satins, quaint old-world pastel embroideries, the Marquise hat in Leghorn, with its wreaths of Pompadour roses, the quaintly beautiful Directoire and Louis XV. coats, and brocaded waistcoats figure largely among the season’s fashions. v Then we have the seventeenth and eighteenth century brocades. and taffetas, not to speak of the Marie Antoinette skirts and bads, the Josephine or Empire .frock, with its bolero effects ‘and gorgeous trimmings. Ob: serve in the fashions of to-day the amcunt of gold galon and quaint old taffeta trimming used, and how faithfully the pelerine.of the Josephine period has ‘been produced in velvet and silk, though this is now giving place to the Early Victorian fichu effects. : . '

Charming is the revival of taffeta, plain, spotted, striped, check, and changeant in the old-fashioned browns and _greys of that period which followed, in disapproving contrast, the brilliant rose ‘du Barry and Louis XV. blue. To-day we are without prejudice where color is concerned.

ARlS.—Dear to the heart |\ of every woman of fash\T"" ibn is the variety in new PN hats and parasols. the majority of which are ; very becoming. There are flat shapes and . high ones, shapes worn over the face, others tilted back, the long, the narrow, the wide, the square, and the round, in fact, every possible shape, ewvery known color, all periods of hi'st(ox'y, and fantastic modern ideas, are all represented on the head. Our. elegantes can wear almost any shape and make it look as if it is peculiarly theirs by x'ight. : There was a fear in the eatly part of the season that the vyeil or lace drapery and the general effect of the echarpe would soon be demode on account of their overwhelming popularity. As a matter of fact this is not the case, for quite beautiful- are the specimens of black and white Chantilly veils now worn, and if these give . place to, ‘the lighter effects in tulle and lace we cannot say they have disappeared abruptly. : * The 1830 hat, with' strings, is still worn, but not very many of these are to be seen, though there are some pretty specimens in simple Leghorn sun-bonnets, trimmed with wreaths of flowers and narrow black velvet strings. ; :

A great deal of fruit is being used on all kinds of hats, and "especially on the Breton shapes. Some of the smartest shcw apples, cherries, currants, and grapes, placed without any meaning wnatever, but with extremely stylish effect.

On almost every light hat we neotice a touch of black, and where it is possible the inner brim is of black. Many tan shapes are lined with black, and those for morning and coustry wear show high elongated ' crowns with bands f black moire ribbon, two or three black wings being the sole trimming.

Some picturesque hats are in chip, the crowns covere. with currants or roses, embedded on puffed tulle,

A FATAL PHOTOGRAPH

In some respects one of the most remarkable war photpographs ever made was secured by a man named Meyer, a correspondent fo|r a German illustrated newspaper during the war in South Africa, says Everybody’s Magazine. Meyer was with the Boers, and one day during one of Buller’s attacks along the Tugela he took a position on the firing line. The fire from the British batteries across the river was very heavy during the preliminary period of the assault, and shells literally rained on the low-

superior intellects have culled wondrous designs from the old-world masters. The Italian school is also pla“ying a part with its trimmings and enamels. 4

You may wear gowns of silk or serge, linen or muslin, but the skirt of the evening frock and the toilette de reception must be long, full, and flowing. Walking skirts?on the other hand, are plain at the top, full at the feet, and clear the ground all round: Kid and suede belts are de rigueur with tailor-made. gowns, while on smarter occasions we_ wear soft Oriental safin,aml taffeta poinfed bands and sashes. _ Long stoles and nchus of marabout and ostrich feather are worn, some of the latter being shaggy-looking and uncurled. Then we also see fichus of lace point d’esprit adorned with furious taffeta trimmings, some of the best summer dresses will be made of taffeta. In this fabric particularly there is a decided fancy for pale pink as well as for the stronger strawberry and raspberry shades.

Paris fashions are truly. delightful and nothing “ more striking example of the lUMariousness and gorgeousness of toilettes: than the parasols that accompany them. The ordinary en-tout-cas is, in .itself, despite its simplicity, extremely costly. The long Pompadour handle is generally surmounted by crystal, enamel, or jewels. The covers are mostly in one color with a deen border of contracting shade. Grass-lawn and. muslin are' often used as ‘a border for the taffeta parasol. Then we have the most ‘glorious examples of these composed of gauged chiffon trimmed with festoons of chenille, ruches and beautiful Chantilly lace. Some show a silk -fringe, plaited heavily, while very delicate are those made -of painted chiffon inserted with fine lace. Some of these parasols are of the most gorgeous colors; others are in plainest white and black; but all are indicative of costliness. >

Though they had the trial in/the night. they were careful not to pronounce tentence - till after sunrise, that its legality might not bhe questioned. iven the sentence thus pronounced|was illegal, for the law forbade passing a death sentence till the day afterzthe trial, Furthermore their law ferbade the trying of criminal cases on Ihq aay before the Sabbath. This was I"rfday. the day before the Jewish Sabbath. ,“Dulivered Him up to Pilate:” The S?nhr\— drin in the time of Christ had no power to inflict the ceath penalty. Their Roman conquerors would not permit|it, so their action was practically »dnly a recommendation. Pontius Pilate had been _px‘gicurator of Judaea for four or five vears, at this time under commijssion from Tiberius Caesar. Read at-thispoint John 17:29-32, which shows that the chief priests tried to get Pilate toratify their action without looking into the matter. Pilate would have nothing :o do with such procedure and insisted upon a charge. The Sanhedrin ha“,; coly demned Jesus for biasphemy, but that is not Wwhat they told the Romafn 20vernor. ' They told him that the charge was of conspiring against H'ome{J CATt thoy the King of the Jews:” A plain question.. “Guilty. or pot guilty?" \‘l‘}@&pu sayest:” “Yeg, I 'fm theJl{ing'.” his was a summary.cfJesus’ answer, The full conversation, in which He explains to Pilate what l’-;Ie m_oansvb“‘\' bheing a King, is found in’ Jobn 18:33-38, After this Pilate promouriced Jgsus not guilty. o Pilate was not a man wicked| beyond any thet have lived sinca. He 41&(1 pronounced Jesus®innocent; he wanted (o have Him set at liberty. But h#‘ did not want to bring upon himself the enmify of the angry priests, for there was no denying that they were still v rx powerful in Judaea. It occurred to him that he conld avoid the decision entirely by sending Jesus, who was a Galilaean, to Herod. the gpvernor of Galilee, who happened 1o I*o in the city. Herod was glad 1o cce Jesus, for the [nterview would bring him .a new kind |of divergion. But in that encounter Jesus waz

king and Herod clown. H@x'o‘l realized it, and in chagrin sent Jesus back to Pilate. in mock state, but uncondemned, Read the account of Luke 23:3-12.

Luke 23:13-16 tells of Pilate’s formal acquittal of Jesus. He should have released Him, but instead He takes another step in the way of compromise: he will scourge Him to pacify t_hem. and then release Him to pacify hi[‘s own conscience. The priests would pot hear to it. “'he question 'had ﬁna]{ly come o this, whether he would save Jesus or saye himself.” He would save J@syis if he could; he ‘must save hifﬁselt‘ in any case. Tt was a trial of strength between Pilate, in Jesus’ behalf. and the chief priests against him. “Barrabas:” “A notable prisoner” (Matt. 27:16). “who for a certain insurrection made in the city and for murder” (Luke 29:19), was “lying bound with them that had mage insurrection.” _(He was a robber or brigand (John 18:40). “Will yve that T release. . . . the King of | the Jews:" An attempt to get fhe crown (not the priests) on his side. Pilate knew that Jesus had a good deal of (il()l(i on the the common people andAthat that was one reason the priests hateﬂ him. Read here Matt 27:19, the dream of Pilate's wife. N

“The chiel priests stirred up the multitude:” There are not words in the English language with which to agequately characterize the spirit of these champions of 'orthodoxy, and it need not be done. But think of the state of religion in the land when such men were its official leaders! - ‘“What then ghall I do . .. unto the King of the Jews:” Pilate was yielding by inches. Tlhers are some matters on which men have ro business to ask advice. Conscience told Pilate what he ought to do with Jesus. That should have been the end of it. The words: “If thou release this man, thouart not Caesarls friend.” were a threat, , and it was that that finaliy troke the oppesition of Filaie. :

From all j \j over the union protests have 5\ . | 1 e ) | poured in against .the fur- | ther disfiguration of Niagara’'s wonder- | ful beauty for commercial ,pu,i"[f)o‘ses. ]And due heed has been given to.the protests; Niagara is not to be turned | over to the devastators. It ishoped our country may long continue to regard as | one of the noblest of her many shrines of natural beauty the wonderiand of Niagara. . Feleir Years ago agitation was employed towards the preservation of Niagara, but it is said the honor belongs to a couple }of Scotchmen of making the fitst real suggestion that the place be carefully {p!'o!eoted. ‘After .a visit to America; | these words of theirs were published: | “Niagara does not belong to Canada or [ America. Such a-spot shounld be deemed l'the property of civilized mankind, and ‘nothing sheould be .allowed to weaken [ this effieacy on.thle tastes; the morals | and enioyment of men.” 34 | The Niagara region is a territory of ' no creat extent. but' famed the world l around for the grfandeur of its galls, the I‘l()\'oliness of the surrounding cauntry. | and its preservation.is certainly a ques--i:ion of national, if not of international {concern. And the historical associaitionrs lend added interest to the preslervation of innumerable landmarks ‘abo"nt Niagara. Hetre it was the red men held their councils. - Here, at an early date, the caring French traders peneirated, and there is proof that the ‘: intrepid IFrench missionaries crossed l the Nijagara river in the days of the mis- | sionary zeal of France. For the four- | ecore years the French had -dominion i in America, they considered the Niagara l region a most important portion of their domain. R ; | Among the noted names connected | with France's enterprise in this localLit}' is that of Jacquesg Cartier, aiid in an lavcount of Cartier’s second voyage to lthe St. L.awrence is presented 'ihe first, reference to the Great Lakes ii'(-oﬁl'mtr:;? ‘ and the wenderful cataract now k‘now}'f ias Niagara. In Champlain's “I?es ng—- | ages,” published in 1603, mention |is | made of a waterfall and river. doubtkess | Niagara Falls and river: and | in - his | “Voyages” the same explorer tells of a [ very high waterfall at the end of Lake ! St Louis (Ontario), “where many kinds | of fish are stunned in the descent.” Tt is thought Brule, Champlain’s interpreter, may have been the first white man reaily to lcok apon the falls: In 1626, a Franciscan priest travélfd on the Niagara river. and 14 years,lai‘tég two Jesuit fathers crossed and recrosseq the stream. In the “Jesuit Relations’ report | is given of work with the Indian nation l “Onguiaahra, having the same nf;me as the river.” el 215 In 1657, the location of the falls and lakes was correctly. made- in Saxflson’s map of Canada. the falls being called the “Ongiarra Falls.”, In 1669 La Salle and Rene Gallinee traveled to the west end of Lake Ontario, and Gallinee's j,q‘}urnal | gives an account of Niagara as described to him by the Indians: speaks of the fact ' that “the river falls at that place from a rock higher fthan.the tdllest pines.” Fatlier Hennepin saw the ‘wonéleri‘ul place for himself, in 1678, and his eport of its beauty was widely read in Elfu‘(:g\e). his books on the new worid being-trans-lated into many languages. F{ather ' Hennepin was the first to use the/pres- | ent spelling of Niagara. The word has | been variously interpreted; '“’thhqder. !of the waters’ seems very fitting if not accurate. ) Fl

Fort Niagara was the last. of theimportant posts held by the French in their system of fortifications connecting Louisiana and their possessions in eastern Canada; and this presently fell under the grasp of the conquering English. The English then made pow-wow.with the Indian inhabitants of the land, had their acquisition ratified by the natives: Sir William Johnson, in 1764, at/-Fort Niagara assembling 2.000 Indian| warriors of the region, and having ceded to him, for his sovereign; a strip oﬁ land four miles wide on each bank of the Niagara river, and also acquiring at this time all the islands in the river.. Not for long, however, did the English continue 'in possession, for their title to things in America was presently wealkened by the American revolution. Within 20 years. after her procuration of the territory, England was forced to give up one-half the lands bordering on the Niagara river—counting the islands. more than‘ene-half, but it was not until 1816 it was absolutely 'conced'ed‘i that most of the islands in the Niagara river belonged to the United States. | During the war of ]'B]2_'.the Niagara frontier was in the heart of the border warfare.
