The De Lacs Country.

The town of Minot, out in Dakota, ' at the second crossing of the Mouse River, and for the present the terminus of the St Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railroad, is the latest Northwestern aspirant to greatness. It certainly has an excellent situation, and if a tine country will make a good town, its future prosperity is assured, for the Upper Mouse and De Lacs River country is as attractive a region to the settler as any in the country. The De- Laee River joins the Mouse eight miles above Minot, having its source in a lake thirty miles long, the head of which is one and one-half miles south of the boundary. The Goteaux come sheer up to the lake ou the south side, and are heavily timbered in places. On the north side is a fine country, well adapted for settlement, now occupied only by a few settlers from over the line in Ganada. Then come two smaller lakes, and below these for fifty miles is a fine, rich plain, twenty or thirty miles wide, through the center of which the river runs. Coal is found all over the country. It crops out in every hillside on the river. This country is the favorite range for white and black-tailed deer and antelope, and many hunters have had great sport hunting them this fall; two bagging twenty-five blacktailed deer in ten days. Throughout its course the river is heavily timbered, and its lateral feeders are also well supplied. Except where an occasional rancher has set his stakes, the whole county is public land, and it surely offers some fine opportunities for the homeless in the States to provide themselves with fine farms, only at the expense of coming and settling on them. The finest opportunities now offer themselves to secure the best locations. Only last week a claim was taken, adjoining the town of Minot, and public land is plainly in view across the river, only one mile away. The land in the Mouse River valley, along the timber, has to some extent bean taken by settlers who came in from Bismarck three years ago. Attention is chiefly directed to stock raising, each rancher having from twen-ty-five to one hundred head of cattle, though many fields are in cultivation and produce well. The soil in the valley is rich, but that on the surrounding prairie level is of the finer quality. The “old residents” claim that the climate of the valley is milder than any part of the territory, and their claim would seem to be substantiated by the many varieties of wild fruits growing in the forest, and the fact that wild grape-vines are growing on nearly every tree. RancKmen claim that on account of this exceptional mildness they can winter grown cattle with an outlay of Rut one ton of hay per head. The “chinook” winds', during winter, blow from the southwest down the Yellowstone Valley, pass over the low “divide” at Fort Buford and reaching the De Lacs Valley (fliange their direction to the southeast, reaching the Mouse River Valley as a warm northwest wind. They sometimes last for a week at a time, cut the snow off in a few hours, and oft ep raise the water in the rivers two feet. Not ithe least of the resources of the country Tie in the coal mines, which make outcrops in nearly every hill and ravine. A mine under process of development, six sailes from Minot, shows up a vein seven feet in thickness and of the best quality of lignite, burning easily and rapidly and used for all heating purposes. The coal sells for $1.25 per ton at the mine, and is in common use in Minot and throughout the surrounding country.— St. Paul Pioneer Press.

As to Food.

Opinions about eating have taken a more sensible turn under late medical observations, contrasting with the time in memory when conscientious people studied to limit their fare to the. fewest ounces that would sustain life. Pious people and infidel philosophers alike thought it an advance when they could record their daily diet at fifteen ounces, mostly of bread and weak drink. Rigid persons carried scales to the table and weighed their food, allowing’ so many minutes and so many ounces, after which they rose, from the table hungry or satisfied as the case might be. Hygienic reformers are still harping on the mistaken rule, ‘'Always rise from the table hungry,” as if the instincts of the body were given solely to be disregarded, and to be a constant uneasiness. This ascetic rule is one extreme of the food question, opposing which we may place the homely old saying, that the way to eat mush and milk was to “sit two inches from the table and eat until you touch.” Science and common sense alike forbid hunger and repletion. Dr. Hodges, before the Boston Society for Medical Improvement, takes high and well-sustained ground that “the body requires not only to be fed, but filledand says that the underfed absorb a large part of medical practice for the relief of diseases from the lack of nutrition, among which are nervous prostration, anmmia, neuralgia, cough and throat troubles, constipation, backache, and nausea or sick headache.” The symptoms of “chronic starvation,” he declares are found not only in Irish and Lancashire families or among underpaid operatives and shop-girls, but in good families, among growing school children, boys fitting for college, society girls, young mothers of families, and workingwomen. Quality of food, with all the heat and force it may contain. will not make up for quantity, and the better educated classes readily deceive themselves and mislead others as to the amount of food necessary for welfare. Under the conceit heartily is neither wholesome nor refined, a habit of going without enough sustenance is established, till the stomach grows contracted from want of sufficient victualing, and the result is low tone, and weakness of body and brain. Much of the ill-humor, the dullness and flatness of intercourse, the failure in business and literature, is directly traceable to defect ve nutrition. The mind is slow or confused, the nerves give way under strain, and thaEjsnappishness results which is really a form of hysteria in men and women. The shortcomings of the usual

diet are apparent, when it is seen that the ordinary daily ration of mixed fare should (Weigh within an ounce and a half of seventeen pounds of the heartiest food. The utter inadequacy of the genteel restaurant portion was forcibly shown at the Internet onal Health Exhibit on in London, when the Vegetarian Society plumed itself on furnishing s x-penny dinners to four or five hundred persons daily. From the carefully kept ac ount of the fare, compared with the- standard diet agreed upon by phis ologists, it appeared that six of the six-penny dinners would be needed to support a man during a hard day’s labor. And grow ng creatures, hard students, and overtasked women require not less than two-thirds this amount, or the body languishes, and it takes but a few years to establ sh disease. Experience confirms the necessity of a heartier diet. Within twenty years the rations of arm es, and of charitable institutions, hosp tals, and prisons have been liberally increased. It is hardly possible to exaggerate the "hecessity for an amended diet, generous in quantity, quality, and variety.— The Congreg alionalis t.

The Hired Escort.

It is a common practice in New York City for ladies to hire male escorts to places of evening entertainment, the engagement usually being made with some of the messenger companies, which keep a corps of youths for that purpose. In Philadelphia a young man has branched out on his individual account. He tells the Press business isn’t good as it might be, but it is improving. He keeps an advertisement in the paper, and says of his mode of procedure: r “If they want me they write me to call. Igo in the afternoon, show my references, which are good, and make arrangements as to whether they want a carriage or not, for instance, and whether I shall wear evening dress, in which case I charge $1 extra. Then in the evening I appear, send up my card, and no one knows, I think, that lam not wasting my own money in taking my affianced, my mother, my wife, as the case may be, to the play, and, by Jove, I don’t myself sometimes.” “You mean then ” “Nothing, nothing,” said the young man, giving a slight curl to his left whiskerlet. “Still, you’d be surprised, sir, to know how much even a hired escort is to some women. ’Pon my word they hang on my arm— I don’t mean all of them—when we cross the gutters and they chatter—l really believe they’re a good deal more interested in keeping up the make-be-lieve than I am. In fact, lam quite certain that that Lancaster woman—she ordered me a dress suit, by the way —has formed her idea of a city society man completely from my make-up. But you musn’t say anything abdut that. It would injure the business.” “You spoke of staying through some performances and merely taking to and calling for others. Can you make two engagements in a night ?” “ ‘Places of amusements,’ my adver-. tisement reads,” answered the hired escort. “There are a great many amusements besides the theater—lectures, concerts and tableaux. Most of these are out an hour before the theaters close. In Boston, wh re there are so many old maids, you know, and yet such a large amusement-loving population, I almost always had two engagements a night. ” “You have lately come from there?” The hired escort sighed. “I have,” he said. “Would that I could have stayed there.” “Ah!” “Yes, I took a young lady three times to the museum. The third time—well, her father was an invalid. I am very glad he was. If he possessed his full vigor I do not think that I would have been able to do what I did —that is to say, leave town.”

The Great Sioux Reservation.

The great Sioux Reservation of Dakota includes a large part of the southwestern part of the State. The treaty ceding this land to the Dakota Sioux tribes was made in 1868. It gave them the country lying between the northern boundary of the State of Ne braska on the south, and the forty-sixth parallel of latitude on the north; between the Missouri River on the east, and the 10 tth meridian of longitnde on the west. This land was to be the permanent home of the Sioux, and all occupation of it by white men was forbidden. This treaty was prepared by the peace commission which had been appointed in July, 1867, by Congress to investigate the Indian troubles then existing, to confer with the Indians concerning their causes of disaffection, and make treaties with them. The discovery of gold in the Black Hills, on the southwestern part of the reservation, caused a violation of this treaty. The Government wished to purchase this tract, but the tribe would not consent to it. A disputation of Sioux chiefs visited Washington in May, 1875, but President Grant could not induce them to sign a treaty. Commissioners were sent to confer with the Sioux chiefs at a gathering at Red Cloud Agency in September of the seme year, but as the Indians set an exorbitant price on their lands the negotiations failed. A war followed, after which the limits of the reservation were somewhat changed. The 103 d meridian was made its western boundary, and the land included between the two upper fdrks of the Cheyenne River was made Government property again. This took from the Indians all the section of the territory known as the Black Hills country. tent of 21,593,128 acres. It is generally well watered, several fine rivers flowing through it. There is considerable timber along the river border. The land in the Missouri and other river villages is fertile, but probably less than one-tenth of the 1 territory inceluded in the reserve can be regarded as good farming land. The country is also subject to long droughts, which of agriculture. But much of the land", though unsuitable for farming, is very well adapted to stock-raising.— lnter Ocean. One of the most important rules in the science of manners is an absolute silence in regard to yourself.

All But One.

The most generous men have received injuries which they can never forgive. Peter Bluelock, of the Gum Springs Circuit, having resolved to lead a better life, joined the church. As he stood near the altar, receiving’* the congratulation of friends who had long p ayed for his reformation, he was so completely subdued at the touching tenderness of the occasion that he exclaimed: “I love everybody and forgive everybody.” ; A lank man stepped forward and asked: “Can you forgive me, Peter?” “Yes. You shot my father, but I forgive you. Give me your hand.” They warmly shook hands. Then another man came forward, hesitated a moment, and said: “I don’t reckon you can forgive me, Pete. ” “Yes, I can.” “What! ai ter I waylaid you an’ broke your leg with a load o’ buckshot?” “That makes no difference, Andy; give me your hand.” They embraced e#ch other, and the friends who formed a circle about them wept for joy. “Don’t reckon you can forgive me!”, exclaimed a fellow who slowly made his way through the throng. “Yes, I can, Dan.” “\Vhat! air ter I stole the girl that you was about to marry ?” “Yes.”

“Airter I told lies on yon an’ got you to drink some pizened licker ?” “Oh, yes, Dan.” They folded each other in a long and close embrace. “Let me get up to him,” said a man, shoving his way forward. Peter’s eyes blazed when he beheld the new-comer. “Stand back!” he exclaimed. “Keep him away, brethren, or I’ll jolt the life out of him.” “Peter, can't you forgive me?” “No, I can’t. You are the only man in the world that shall not take my hand. No use talking to me,” lie continued, when some of the brethren began to expostulate with him, “no use in saying a word, for I cannot forgive him. Ah, you’d better go away. ”. “What did he do, Peter, to incur your everlasting hatred?” some one asked when the man had gone. “What did he do, Peter ?” Now, the question is, what had the man done? Our readerswill readily recognize this life-like story as the work of Mr. 1 rank R. Stockton, who has peen engaged by the great magazines to leave their readers in the “lurch.”— Arkansaw Traveler.

Could Not Hit Him.

Justice—“Yoh say that the prisoner threw stones at you?” Witness —“Yes, sir. He threw over a dozen at me.” “Did any of them hit you?” “No, sir, I dodged them.” “How far was the prisoner from you w.hen he threw ?” “About twenty feet.” - 1 “And do you mean to say that the prisoner threw a dozen stones at you at u distance of twenty feet and did not hit you?” “Yes, sir. You see I am a base-ball umpire and am used to dodging.” “Yes, I see. I thought there was some reason for your not being hit.”— Free Press. At the masquerade ball in Adin last week St. Jacobs Oil took th? first prize. Nothing strange in this, as it is highly prized in every family where used—especially in ours.— Bieber (Cal.) Mountain Tribune.

Hold the Fort.

“It seems to me you are out on the street a good deal, Mrs. Brown.” “Yes, I like plenty of exercise.” “But the baby——” “Qh, I leave it home.” “With the servant?” “No; with Mr. Brown.” “He must be a model husband.” ""T “Not at all. You see, he is great on singing revival Jlynms. ” “Yes, I know.” “Well, I named the baby Fort.” “What for?” “So he would always want to hold it.” — Chicago Ledger.

The Metropolis.

Teacher—“ What is the metropolis of the United States?” Pupil—“ Cincinnati.” * Teacher—“Oh, no. What makes yen think Cincinnati is the metropolis?” Pupil—“ Why I saw in the paper the other day that there was more meat put up there than any other jflace, so I supposed it was the meat-ropolis.”

A Chance for Health

Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters embodies the combined qualities of a blood fertilizer and depurent, a tonic and an alterative. While -it promotes digestion and assimilation; and stimulates appe<tite, has the further effect of purifying the life current and strengthening the nervous system. As the blood grows richer and purer by its use, they who resort to this sterling medicinal agent, acquire not only vigor, but bodily substance. A healthful change in the secretions is effected by it, and that sure and rapid physical decay, which a chronic obstruction of the functional the system produces is arrested. The prime causes of disease being removed, health is speedily renovated and vigor restored. The flour of the family often makes a loaf-er ill-bred.

The Practice of Economy.

People of moderate means are obliged to practice economy in obtaining the necessities of life, and those in ally wish to obtain the full worth of their money. A proper quantity and quality of reading matter, in these days, is most assuredly to-be classed among the necessities; then how to obthis cheaply is a desideratupi.

The mania for collecting postage stamps seems to be gaining more ground tflan ever in France, Among the most famous collectors is a man who has over 1,000,000 stamps preserved in 130 richly.bound volumes, and another who keeps two clerks employed in classifying and arranging his enormous collection. Added to this there are in Paris about 150 wholesale firms employed in the trade, and one of the best known of these has lately offered from £2O to £4O for certain stamps of the year 1836. Tuscan postage stamps dated before 18(10 will be paid for at the rate of £6 each, while stamps from Mauritius for the year 1817 fetch £BO, aud French stamps of 1849 are quoted at £1 each.— The Argonaut.

Making Rifles.

Great speed has been attained in the manufacture of rifles. One hundred and twenty barrels can be rolled in an hour by one machine; they are straightened cold and bored with corresponding speed, and even the rifling is flow done automatically, so that one man tending six machines can turn out sixty or seventy barrels per day: With the old rifling machine, twenty barrels was about the limit of a day’s work, but the improved machines attend to everything after they are once started, and when the rifling is completed ring a bell to call the attention of the workman. He is thus enabled to attend as many as six machines at a time. Use Dr. Pierce’s “Pellets” for constipation. The oldest mention of opera was “when the stars sang together.” ”.
