So common has this method ofaupply become that the revenue of the city from water-takers is affected. The people of Mount Vernon, Westchester county, N. Y., have also put down an artesian well. The bore is eight inches in diameter anu us aeptn teet. The water is pure, cold and softj and rises above the surface in quantities sufficient to supp'y three or four thousand people. By an expenditure of about $75,000 for pumps, pipes, wells, etc., a supply tor domestic and fire purposes for the whole town is obtained. Almost any village where the geological forma tion permits a hope of artesian wa tor being found could afford to ex periment in well-sinking. Lo Astonishes His Stomach. One of the peculiarities of the la- tost United States stylo of feedins the noble red-man is the fact that he is given government rations, and at the same time appropriations are made which are supposed to main tain himt Sometimes a wild Indian, who doesn't know much about gro ceries and how to prepare them for food, comes in and draws his regular soldier rations in this way. For in stance, Up in the Sitting Bull coun try, a while ago, an Indian came in from the war-path who had never seen any of the pale face style of iood, aad drew his rations. He made a light meal of unbound coffee the first day, and as he over-eat and the coffee swelled in him, and he had some difficulty in buttoning his pants around the pain he had on hand. He felt very uuhappy for a day or two, but laid it to the fact that hadn't excercised much, and the con sequence ennui and indigestinn re suiting therefrom. As soon as succeeded in getting the lulerior de partment quieted down a little h tackled his ration of candles. These he decided to parboil, in order to pre vent trouble from indigestion. The dish was not so much of a glittering success as he anticipated, and as he remorsely picked the candle wickin; out of his teeth with a tent pin, h made some remarks that grated harsh ly on the aesthetic ears of those who stood near. He then tried a meal on yeaai powasr witn vinegar. He ate the ysast powder, and then took a pint of extremely potent vinegar to wash it down. At. first there was t feeling of surprise in his stomach which rapidly gave place to unavail ing remorse. A can of yeast pow der in an Indian's midst doeBii't seem to be prepared for a pint of vinegar, and the result of such an unfortunate circumstance is not gratifying'. Eve ry little while a look of pain would come over the feature of the noble child of the forest, and then he would jump about 17 feet and try to kick a cloud out of the sky. Then he would sit down and thiuk over his past life. It took about a week for him to get back to where he dared to get up another meal for himself. Then he fricasseed'a couple of pounds of laundry soap and eat that. Soap is all right for external purposes or for treating a pair of soiled socks, but it does not assimilate with the cas- trio juice readily, and those who have tried it as a relish do not seem to thiuk that it will ever be f prom inence as an article of diet. That is hythi8 untutored child of nature swore. He had never received the benefits of early training in profanity, and his language, therefore, was dis connected and rambling, but when we consider that he was ignorant of our language, and that every little wnue he had to stop and hold his digester with both hands and dis great holes in the earth with bis toes, the remarks didn't seem alto gether out of place or irrelevant. "When a gallon or so of agilited bak ing powder and vinegar is singing its little song in the innermost reces e of an Indian, and this has bean fol lowed by a treatment of laundry soap, the student, of human nature can find a wide field for observation in that locality. The earnest and occupied look, the troubled expres sion ot the countenance, followed by the quick nervous twitching of the muscles of the face, and then the swelling up and burstiug of the sus pender button, the deep drawn sigh and the smothered cuss-word, all he token of the gastric agitation going within. This is why the Indian pre fers a link of boloffua sausage and a two-yearold dog to the high price groceries so common to our modern civilization. Bill JVyc in Laramie Hoctnm angr. Southern Courtesy and Kindness. An Englishman of influence, who with his family emigrated to this country in 1870, settled in one of the Gulf States. His friends in New York remonstrated with him urging that the South yet suffered from the. effects of the war; that trade was duller there than in the North, and chances fewer ot obtaining success in business. "I knew it" he replied. "You will there be measurably out of the world of arts, music, books; even news. The towns and houses have few modern improvements," his advisers insistel. "All very true." "The people haven't the energy of the North. They are apt to be bit ter in their prejudices." "But they are so friendly!" replied the Englishman. "If I were asked to name the marked features of Southern character, it would be friendliness. When I went among them in my life I found myself in a world where every man really seem ed to think every other man his blrod relation. Though he had nev er seen him before, he slood ready to invite him to dinner, or to befriend him if he needed it." The Englishman remained at the South. He could not tear himself away from the plesant, intangible ties which had been spun around him. No one can travel through the South without feeling the powerful charm of the universal atmosphere of good-humor, kindness and courtesy that is found in its people. Not only TEMPEKAtfCE COLUMN". Edited by the Ladies of the W. C. T. U. of Corvallis. A Thrilling scene. While the temperance crusade was sweeping through the Stat3 ot Ohio, the Woman's Temperance T eague in the town of Stryker held weekly meeting for prayer and addresses on the subject of temperance. The first of these meetings was rendered me morable by a scene which those pi ts ent will not soon forget. The room was crowded with people of high and low degiee, temperate and intern Derate, several of the more prominent saloon keepers being present. After a short address by Mrs. Lindsey, the president of the Woman's Temper ance League, as Col. E. D. Bradley was raking some interesting re marks, the drunken husband of Mrs. Lindsey staggered toward the plat form on which a number of ladies and gentlemen were sitting, pushing !y his wife, who sprang forward vainly seeking lo Intercept him in his course. As he passed by her she snatched a bottle from his pocket, and placed it on the table beside her. Meanwhile the half-stupified hus band turned and sat down, while a hush ot sympathetic sadness fell up on the congregation, at a sight so pitiful and disgraceful. In a mo ment Mrs. Lindsey arose to her feet, and holding up the bottle before the assembly, exclaimed in tone9 that thrilled every heart: "Here is the cause of my sorrow. I Here are the leaiff yea, the very j life-blood of a drunkard's wife. FASHION NOTES. s it shown in the hospitality of the Look at it, rumseller !

It evidently seemed to them the natural and right thing to do. In the majority of cases, of course, the good-will is shown only in a smile and pleasant word; but no one who has not lived in this perpetual sunshine can understand its tranquil izing, cheering effect. There can be little use in the union of the different sections of this conn try, if the two cannot learn some thing from each other. If North eners are, perhaps, able to teach their Southern brethren some lessons of energy and of progress, they can also learn from them much that will make sweeter, higher and far better worth the living. The Northerner, at heart, is per haps as faithful a lover and as kind I a friend, but he keeps his love and kindness for his personal friends and for his own household, and allows very little of either to illuminate his face, words or manner in 4he ordi nary associations of life.

She stopped for a moment, her wretched husband cowering before her, and nothing being heard but the sobs of the audience; then turning her pale anguish-stricken face to wards heaven, she exclaimed, with tearful emphasis: "How, long, O Lord, shall intem perance reign, blighting our dearest ear'.hly hopps and draining our very life's blood ?' Then, turning to the audience, she continued. "Can you wonder that I raise my voice against this terrible evil ? Sisters, will you help me ?" Cries ot "Yes ! Yes !" came from slmost every lady in the house. She sat down pale and ex hausted. The meeting concluded, but impressions Were made that will not soon fade from the minds of those present, whowent away more determined than ever to fight against strong drink, that foe of human peace. JEx. Hints to the Ladies Regarding the Current Style in Dress. Pompon dress trimmings s;row in favor. White Ottoman satia is the newest fabric for bridal dresses. Angel sleeves are revived. Terra-cotta shades are very fashionable. Satin Sarah and satin duchesse retain their hold on fashionable favor. Roses remain tho favorite flower for the corsage banquet of full dress. Silk pompons in contrasting color to the hats trim many felts and beavers. Raspberry red is a dark, yet bright wine color, almost universally becoming. Black silk beided Jerseys are favorite waists for young ladies' black dresses. Long gloves with loose wrists remain the first favorite of fashionable women. The crinelated basgncs now so much in vogue are a revival upon the middle ages. Myrtle, white rose, lilies and lilacs divido tavorwiih orange blossoms as bridal flowers. Collars made of the new chenille mara bout trimmings are very stylishly worn with street suits'. Turbans with a fur band and gathered cloth crowns are worn with rediugotes of cloth trimmed with fur, The newest turbins of folded cloth, or velvet, are without brims, the folds reaching down to tho hair, and are without trim mings. Scarlet and green and green and pink in subdued t.nes are fashionable combinations in velvet and satin in the formation of rich dinner toilets. Brocaded flounces, with the figures of vel vet raised on repped silk, are the elegant trimmings for the fronts of trained dresses of silk or velvet. Black satiu fans, painted with clusters of dark and large tiuted roses, are charming, as are the round hanging fans of black Span ish lace, decorated with a spray of flowers. Theatre bonnets are made of velvet, in small gathered puffs that begin irr the mid die of the crown, and are trimmed on the edge in front and back with frills of gold lace Breakfast caps are pretty little creations of soft downy lace, forming fitting recepti cles'for the lovely flowers with which they are trimmed, and each cap has its own dress bouquet. floral buckles are used to catch up the folds of the drapery of evening dresses. These buckles are large and square, and are made of cardboard covered with silk; small flowers are then sewed thickly upon them. Gold tinsel lace trims puffed white tulle skirts of ball dresses. The puffs of laee ar ranged alternately form the skirt over its silk lining. The pointed waist is of gold colored satin edged at the neck and sleeves with lace. New ball dresses are of shrimp-colored crepe de chine ith white tulle flounces embroidered with white feathery floss. The low pointed bodice is of pomegranate red satin, with high square neck and elbow sleeves, and is laced behind. Plain velvet costumes of dark, dull colors are richly trimmed with fur; the furs most in favor for these suits are otter, beaver hare and seal. The bonnets and muffs that accompany them are also finished off with the same kind of tur used as the trimming of he dress. 7 KEmirs Woodcock & Baldwin, Dealers in Shelf and Heavy Experiments recently made in Eu- ope, with a view of ascertaining the best method of preserving manure show that manure allowed to accum ulate under cattle, three months or more, in specially constructed deep stalls, was found, in every case, as compared with that ordinary manure heaps, in a more workable condition, the amonial salts, were better pre served, and the useful i were present in greater proportions.
