That this life is a stage on which to develop the human soul is scarcely to be doubted. All our good things are evolved from the condition of human life. The evolution of faculty into the conduct and into character; the fixing of principles in a man's life, so that they become powers in him-these things are accomplished by the school ing of life itse'. No man inherits ac tivity, enterprise, foresight, justice, be nevolence, the finer feelings. They are developed in him by training; and it is a training for which this world is specially adapted. It is a good sharp ening world. It is a good stimulating gether. It is a world that wales men up, and by ten thousand necessities on every side couples them to think, and think far ahead; to forbear, and to de ny themselves; to restrain self-indulg ence; to combine thoughts and to sys temize them. It is a world which is educating men into practical philoso phy and economy. The world, by its very necessities, engenders in men these virtuous traits; and it is fair, since it does so universally, that it was designed to do so.-[Henry Ward [Beecher. The Road West. General Cass, President of the Nor thern Pacific, and General Manager Mead, were in Bismarck last week looking up the affairs of the road. General Cass, in relly to a'direct in quiry in regard to the prospect of ad vancement by the road, stated that the work west of the Missouri would, beyond peradventure, be commenced in the early spring. The failure of Jay Cooke & Co., and others had created a general financial stringency all over the country, and it had been thought ,best under the circumstances to do no f;rther work this fall; but there was nothing in the circumstances which warranted the impression prevailing somewhat generally that work would be suspended indeflnitelya. So .fK s he knew the programme laid out for the coming season would be followed out. An immense trade in Montana was demanding an outlet and the Nor thern Pacific would respond to the call without delay.--[Bismarck Tribune. A FAiR ExcHAGIE.-A Chicago editor knows an aged couple who are very fond of checkers, and play quite frequently. When he beats her at the game, she loses her temper and de clares she will not play again. It vexes him to have her act so, but he controls his irritation aid .taks to her about it. He tells her how wrong itis for people of their age tow disturbed by such trifles, and shows so clearly the folly of such a course that she be comes ashame4 of biha and returm to the .gasme ao 4 plays it-so well tat she bet. ia.

Eastern Oregon is still shipping wool In extensive quantities, and the greatest portion of it goes to San Francisco. The epizootic has again made its aup pearanee in a malignant form among thehorses about MeMinnville. Another rich gold mine has been. discovered near Roseburg. "Mum's the word" regarding the exact locality as yet. Some of the Oregon wool-growers have again resorted to the disreputa ble custom of enclosing rocks, bags of sand and other heavy material in their bags of wool. Two nuggets, weighing respectively forty-eight and twenty-seven ounces, and whose combined value is $1,200, were found recently on Sucker creek, Josephine county. The cars alone bring into Portland warehouses an average of 10,000 bush els of wheat per day. The O. S. N.

The Puget Sounid Land Company have been worsted in their efforts to get possession of Fargo. Mr. A. W.

Breckenridge, was for some reason de-. nied egress from the British Posses sions, should she cross into Johnny BulPs part of Red River. Mr. Frank Huber, living on James river, 15 mies above Yaukton, near Mr. Hughes' place, raised an average of 55 bu~el of wheat to the acre this season. Mr. . H. Bra mer, who has a fine farm about four miles this. side, though iot so fortunate in the number of bushels, found that his wheat crop averaged 63 pounds to the bushel. The Dakota Republican says: Gen. McCook, who was murdered at Yank ton, had a $10,000 life policy in the Connecticut Mutual.

LAT. CcHICKElP THE BEST LAY- Es.-A tcorresponkdeit of the Coun try Gentleman writes:n "After repeat ed experimeints during cthe past twen ty-five years in hatching chickens, I im fully convinced that fowls hatched in the month of July make far better layers than those born at any other season of the year.. Early hatched chickens ecom mence laying early in September, and continue until cold January weaterir ~hen they discon tinue until spring. O.i the other hand, when hatched in July oif August, they begin laying. in ,Felruary and continue till October. I find July chickens will average 50 to 75 more eggs than those -hatched in March. My method, there fore, is to hatch 100 chickens in Aug ust'for my own use. As soon as the S~ko can be selected from the pullets, they are converted into pot-pie, giving tthe pullets all the room. The pullets are then well fed, sad are soon large enough to take care of themselves. The -light rrahmas have always been my most profitable and favorite fowl; but with great reluctance I am obliged, after three years' trial, to place the Partridge Cochins at the iead of . the list. As layers they excel any Asi~aic breed I have ever known, area very hardy, mature early, and short legged, heavy, breasted, yellow fleshed fowls. My pullets hatched last August-are laying now, as they have since February. They are superior sitters and most careful mothers. I am also breeding the White Cochins for the first time this .eaeon, and thus .far am very highly pleased with them."

It is a salesman who never sleeps, and is never weary; who goes after business early and late; who accosts the merchant in,his shop, the scholar in his study, the lawyer in his office, and the lady at her tea table; who can be in a thousand pla ces at once, and speak to a milion peo ple at once, saying the best thing in the best manner. A good advertisement in a ncwspa per pays no fare on railroads, costs nothing for motel bills, gives away no boxes of cigars to customers or merino dresses to customers' wives, drinks no whisky under the head of traveling expenses, but goes at once and at all times about its business free of ex pense. A good advertisement insures a business connection on the most firin and independent basis, and is in a cer tain sense a guarantee to the customer of fair and moderate prices. Experi ence has shown that the dealer whose wares have obtained a public celebrity is not only enabled to sell, but is forc ed to sell at reasonable rates, and to furnish a good article. MMLK G $xoL8.-Jr -esaw an article in a late issue of your paper about milking and milking stools, wherein "Jericho" thinks a common wooden bucket the most convenient seat. Let me tell him how to make what I call a convenient stool. Take a piece of board eight inches wide and two feet long, nail short pie ces across the ends to increase its strength, and bore holes through; put two legs in one end eight or ten inches long, and one in the other, or forward end, a little shorter. " Place the stool where you want to sit, the end with one leg where you usually set the pail. Place the pail on one end and sit on the other, then you have your pall out of the dirts aid the cow cannot easily put her f ot it, as is so often the pal is on ground. If the legs- p8 ve too long, saw them off a little. Som~ cows are so low that you are oblig to et the pail on the ground, ii eme see you ban turn the sto.ol ar-ou . . nitan d see how you like it. h.. bvLe ra 1uj"i, best 4* i Kiricc An editor who was goiing col..lti.&g said he \as "going to pr.

CONDIDIENT FOR POULTRY.--.-(I' R,)-There are some breeders who ob ject to the practice of feeding eayhne pepper, mustard, ginger, etc.. to poil ry, with a view to stimulating egg production, because they believe it in jures the fowl and affects its longevi ty. But no matter what may be the fact so far as longevity goes, there is no doubt but a. moderate amount. of these condiments are active stimulants to egg production, and hence, for the time being at least, contributes to the vigor of the fowl. A NEW toy has just been introduced and will surely become very popular. It is a wax doll in a crib, the doll be ing dressed in night clothes and a dainty lace cap. By some mechanism the doll baby at certain intervals, af ter being wound up, lifts itself up in the crib, puts out its arms, and dis tinctly calls "mamma." The invenitor thinks "no family should be without one." SrGenTr 1v. GioBGR M.)
