Fargo, Sept, 23.—-The wheat crop
hereabouts is being rapidly transferred
from ilw shocks to the granary, ilic ninjor
part it going to the thresher direct
from.the shock. Uut little injury has
txjcn done in the Hpriirfgat* by the rain,
and it will not atijmjeinhly mince the
grade in the augivgaSif. A iremrnl dis­
position to tuifn tu wmci other farm in­
dustry than v.lirat is everywhere evi­
denced, ami with the amount of summer
following thiit will hednne next reason,
it in this section will benny greater than
this jrar. Many of the bonanza farmers
announce their intention to let large
acreage lie idle. The superintendent of
the grea-. Raymond and Chase bonanza
farm states that a full section will be left
tinHown. This will be imitated by many
others. Flax is talked of as a substitute
partially for wheat, and the raising of
cattie will be extensively tried.

TheWelland and St. Lawrence cannah
are to be further deepened and improved
for heavier draft tonnage. This will
alow shipments from Duluth to Liver­
pool without change.
Work has been begun on the great
railroad bridge which- will give u# a new\

East, without the necessity cf a ferry
transfer. Duluth to Chicago in eighteen
hours.
It i« probable that the log cut of this
district during the coming winter will b«
about what the mills now here can saw
ea3ily next season. Those who have logs
left over or hung up at the close of the
sawing season will get out about enough
to complete their stock, and those who
have used their logs tvill get out a full
atock. The mill-men cannot afford to
shut tberr. mills and lose the trade they
hare already work ad up.
The Pure and the Impnrc.
The merry little mountain brook, as it
lightly dances over the rocks and spark
]#8 in the sunshine on its way down to
the river, is pure and clean. It is active,
therefore it is hcaithy* It is vigorous,
therefore it resists impurity. But the
sluggish pool, whore the current is not
strong enough to keep the water in mo­
tion, is stagnant and foul. Dirt and
rubbish are thrown into it, and stay
there. Impurities and vile odors make
it a breeder of disease and an object to be
avoided. When the blood is strong and
xich and red, and vigorously courses its
accustomed rounds through arteries and
voins, the system is hearty and healthy.
"When the blood is thin and poor and
•weak, impurities and defilements croep
into it, and it has no strength to cast
them out, Then the system runs down.
The only known reliablo cure for impure
blood and a weak and debilitated system
is Hops and Malt Bitters—Naturc'3 rem­
edy. The great Blood Purifier and Kid­
ney and Liver Remedy, compounded
fVom the well known curatives, Hops,
Malt, Buchu, Mandrake, Dandelion,
Sarsaparilla, Cascara Sagrada, etc. Hops
nrid Malt Bitters la the greatest Health
and Life Restorer agont on earth. It is
especially recommended for all diseases of
women, such as mental depression, weak­
ness, breaking down, lassitude of the
system, headache, etc. A trial will surely
convincp any one of its merits' Call for

And what wealth then fhall be loft us when

To buy liis friepd in the market, and pinch

Nay, what save the lovely city, and the little
houses on tli« hill.
And the wastes and the woodland beauty, and
the happy fie.ds ve till.
And the homes of ancient stories, the tombs
of the mijrhty dead
And the wise men seeking out marvel^, and
the poet's teeming head.
And the painter's hand of wonder and the
marvelous fiddle-bow,
And the banded choirs of music—all those
that do and know.
For all these shall bo ours and all men's, nor

Of the toil and the ruin of living in tho days
when the world grows iair.

Jamie's Old Watch.
On Brush street, near Jefferson ave­
nue, for an hour the other dar bruis­
ed and battered old dumb watch and
chain lay in the gutter, where some
foot had kicked it from the walk. If
anyone gave tho toy a second glance it
was to realize that some child nad lost
or flung it away. The caso was batter­
ed, the face scratched and scarred, and
no boy would turn aside to pick it up.
By and by a curious procession came
up from the Brush street depot. It was
composed of a man and his wife, both
past 50 years of age, and four children,
the youngest of whom seemed to be
about twelve. They were spread out
on walk iud street, heads down and
moving slowly, and there was a look
of anxiety on every face. Some one
a3kod the man if he had lost his wallet
and he replied:
"No, not that. Somowhero as we
came along, we lost our Jamie's
watch."
"Very valuable?"
"Well, sir, not as far as money goes,
but it's a relic of the dead, sir—ana—."
"Oh, it was an old dumb watch, eh?"
"Yes, sir."
"You'll find it in the gutter up by
that post."
The entire family made a rush for
the spot, and the watch had no seoner
been lifted than the mother kissed it
and the children shouted their exulta­
tion.
"It may seem foolish to you, sir," ex­
plained the husband, as he slyly wipod
at something like a tear in the corner
of his eye, '*but it's a long twelve years
since Jamie died- That watch was the
first toy I ever bought him. We've
been burned out of house and home
twice since he died, and that's the only
scrap or relic left us of the little ono.
You see it's old and bent but money
couldn't buy it. Every time we look
at it we can call up his blue eyes and
chubby face, and the thought that he is
waiting for us up there almost answers
for a moal with mother."
"Are you going away?"
"Yes—across the ocean to our old
home in England. We must leave the
dead behincL Had we lost the walcli
1 believe the mother would have broken
her heart. So long as we have it the
boy's face comes up to us. We can al­
most hear him laugh again, and it
seems more like we had laid him aivay
to sleep an hour or two. Thank heaven
that we have it! It was Jamie's, sir,
and we are never to see his grave any
more.—Detroit Free Press.
Luxurious Canine Pets.
Little dogs are growing more luxur­
ious every day. Mats, rugs, and bis­
cuits crumbled in croam are made
ready for them at the fashionable
dressmaker's while they and their mis­
tresses are waiting to be fitted. The
little dog must have a paletot of velvet
trimmed with fox, so that he carries
the conquered skin of his hereditary
enemy on his back. In tho morning,
when he is not paying visits, he wears
a plainer paletot of flannel lined with
scarlet, with the monogram of his
house embroidered on the back and a
gorget coming up high under his bell
hung leather collar, with also a bunch
of tiowers on the left shoulder. For
his afternoon drive his coat is lined
and faced with silk, and the collar is
velvet. If the weather is below zero,
he wears a sealskin and for travelling,
the Campbell or Murray tartan, with
red leather harness anu reins. Dog
collars are made of massive gold or
silver, with diamonds, emeralds, opals
nml rubies spelling out the name of
favorites. Let us hope that these are of
imitation stones, else Tray, Blanche,
aud Sweetheart will got stolen for oth­
er than their own intrinsic merit, how­
ever jrroat that may bo. Two very
stately lion poodles, with their fair
mistress, waik overy day in the Fifth
avenue. They are said to be worth

In the Women's Congress, in Chica­
go, Mrs. Wolcott, of Massachusetts,
told her sisters that the outdoor work
of a farmer is not so hard_ as that of
the kitchen, and she instanced many
women in Kentucky who are dping
farm work rather than bury themselves
in kitchens.
It is stated that the Merinos of Spain
are divided into two classes, according
to the manner of their keeping. One
class is called the traveling "or migra­
tory, because the sheep are moved
from pasture to pasture, taking ad­
vantage of seasons,* quality and quan­
tity of foliage, and of other favorable
circumstances. Sheep of the other
class, the stationary, are left at differ­
ent stations all the year round, and are
more 6r less pampered, so that 'they
fall .much behind the other class in the
matter of health and constitutional
vigor.
3$e dwarf trees of China are curi­
osities of forestry., Every child knows
how tho Chinese cramp their women's
feet by bandaging them when they are
infants, and thus render it impossible
for them to walk. It is, however,
wonderful to see miniature oaks, chest
ntitai^pUies and cedars growing in
flower-pots, 50 years old and.yet not a
foot high. To do this take a young
plant, cut off its taproot, and place it
in a basin in which there is a good soil
kepi well* watered, if it Ipeows too
rapidly, dig down and shorten in sev
erai roots. Every year the leaves grow
smaller*
