btructi2jg sod houbes ox thh prairie i was at the liouse of an old scotch ! man a year or two ago said an old da j kotan oeveral of us yonng people were sitting ut a table playing carls out j side a blizzard was howling the old | man said i think i will go out to the shed and see how the stock are don't von go i replied '• i guess i will i looked over my shoulder and said see here old num don't von try that you may stay right here 1 you may think this was considererable fuss to make as the sheds were not over four rods from the house but i had bscome acquainted with winter weather on the prairies we went on with our game and nothing more was said about fren minutes later i looked up and tl e old man was gone did your father go out i asked one of the girls yes she replied and 1 don't see what keeps him i wish you would go out and find him i wrapped up and started out first taking the precaution to take one end of a rope which i trailed after me about half way between the sheds and the liouse i found tho old man on his hands and knees in the snow which was seven feet deep crawling about trying to find the house he was then nearly dead and ten minutes more would have finished him i picked him up and carried him to the house where with snow ice water and whisky supplemented with an hour or two of hard work we managed to save his life how do people manage to live in such a climate ' live why they prepare for it the early comers generaly put up sod houses and there is nothing in the world so warm as a sod house you can walk around barefoot on the floor of one if properly constructed in the coldest weather after they have been there long enough settlers generally build lop houses hauling logs thirty or ' forty mill's for the purpose these houses are warm and comfortable so long as yon don't have to go out yon don't know what winter is lint the sol house is not to be treated witli disdain 1 assure y u how are they built in the first place a frame of board ' the size the house is to be is put up so as to give the house i nice appear ' anee inside the roof also is boarded over then the sou is cut with a plow and a bank three or four feet thick is raised all arounl this frame every sod is laid as carefully as a mason lays a brick the roots up and all openings are filled i'i with fine dirt openings are made for the windows and doors which have frames extending from inside to outside these will contain sometimes three windows for winter always two when the sod rampart is raised to the height of the roof poles j are laid on and then sod put over those i the roots hold overytuing firm you ! would be surprised to see the roots | s mis of those grass roots are as thick ! as my linger and extend down from ten to fourteen feet " what it's a fact [ assure you i have followed them down myself when dig ging welis in that blue joint grass land why a man in plowing has to stop and sharpen his plow every eighty rods if he cares any thing for his team the blacksmith draws out the point but that and the edge both have to be filed down as sharp as possible and then as 1 say sharpened every eighty rods but to return to the sod house after the outside is completed the in ide is finish ed i?n to suit the taste and pocket of the proprietor some have only the earth en lloor and are divided up into two or three roonis and i tell you for win ter comfort in dakota a sod house beats them all besides these there are dugouts on the side of a hill and occa sionally vou will meet one on the prairie the class of settlers that come in there as a rule have to put up with almost everything the first year or two miltrnttkr ( x ov chicago times stanley's love affair the present doubt regarding the fate of stanley the great explorer recalls a story that has not lost pathos by the lapse of years it is apropos because referring to an expedition when as to day nothing had been heard of him for a year and scientists and others believed him to have perished among the others was the girl : whom stanley loved and was engaged to lm-irrv she was the beautiful alice iv-;e daughter of cincinnati's opera house millionaire and after i waiting until hope deferred became ab inuoned hope at the end of the year j she engaged herself to another man — a millionaire like her father the wed din r day was fixed and the earliest guests ussi mb'ed when the express de livered at her frith r's door a large box containing a quantity of ostrich feath ers and other african trophies and a love lettt r from stanley he was safe and hurrying to lay his honors at her feet but it was too late to retreat and the faithless lalv married the other man i " public office is a public trnst — ■ ii v it cleveland eyes made of crystal what a new york dealkb says cos cernix'.i artificial optics it is all wrong to say a bully boy with a glass eye said a maiden lane ] manufacturer and importer who is i something of a wag why is it all wrong well there may be bully boy but i there is no such thing as a glass eye ] what would you call this we ] asked at the same time holding up an < artificial human eye i would call that a crystal eye be < cause it is made out of crystal and ] not out of glass ; 1 is there any difference | < of course there is as i under i stand it crystal eyes cannot be model i ed into shape just how they are 1 colored and made to imitate the natu h ral yfi i have no idea you see the ! method of making artificial human eves out of crystal is one of the secret ; arts i have tried to see whether there j is not something in the books but the ; writers maintain a deep silence on the j subject i where ae most of the artificial eyes made we import most of our eyes from france the manufacture of artificial i human eyes is in the hands of a few french workmen vho keep the process a secret the same as the workers on gobelin tapestry keep their art a secret there are two or three in this country engaged in the manufacture of artifi cial eves but their product lacks often the efo.-e finish and the naturalness of the french yet we can make a good ey j to order ' how much would an eye to order i cost not over 815 we keep a large assortment in stock and if we can tit a man the cost would be only 10 there is no such a difference in peo ple's eves as mo^t persons suppose the ordinary black eye the light and dark blue eye and the grey eye and what is called the wall eye are pretty much on the same pattern oculists have stu died the different shades and tints of the eve so long they make a pretty good match to the natural eye not only that but they can fit an artificial eye exactly in the pi ace of a diseased eye after the latter has been removed if the muscles have not been damaged i the artificial eye can be made to roll a little after the manner of a good eye but hardly in the fine frenzy of the past i have known cases so skillfully done that it was a hard matter to tell at the h'rst glance which was the arti ficial and which was the natural eye although a sharp observer would dis tinguish it in a short time i)o you think there are many bully boys in new york with glass eyes we inquired laughingly well 1 can hardly say how many new yorkers sleep with one eye open i a fair estimate would perhaps be over 1,000 or 1.2u0 a great many from out of the city come to be fitted with artificial eyes 1 c n judge somewhat of the number by the amount of my sales every year ' i suppose you have come across some curious cases yes i could tell you some funny experiences which i have had i re member one young lady who was never suited with her eve and had it chang ed once or twice a year another old lady used to lose her eye about once or twice a year one man who used to go on periodical sprees often went home without his eye he came to me one day and ordered an extra optic he said that he wanted to be prepared for any emergency but i guess the greatest emergency was meeting his wife after being out all night /.. ./.

necessary in the first place natural gifts the gentleman is born in a democracy no less than a monarchy in other words he is a per ' son of fine bodily and spiritual qualities ! mostly innate secondly he must j have through elementary education ear ly acce s to books and therefore to reat thoughts and high examples thirdly he must be early brought into contact with some refined and noble ■ person—father mother teacher pas tor employer or friend those are the j only necessary conditions in peaceful limes and in law-abiding communities like ours accordingly su h fads as the following are common in the tint ed states one of the numerous child ren of a small farmer manages to fit himself for college works his way through college becomes a lawyer at forty is a much trusted man in one of the chief cities of the union and is distinguished for the courtesy and dig nity of his bearing and speech the son of a country blacksmith is taught and helped to a small college by his minister he

bespeak the gentleman the sons and daughters of a successful shopkeeper take the highest place in the most cultivated society of their native place and well deserve the prominence accorded to them the daughter of a man of very imperfect education who began life with nothing and became a rich mer chant is singularly beautiful from youth to age and possesses to the highest degree the charm of dignified and gracious manners a young girl not long out of sehoof the child of re spectable but obscure parents marries a public man and in conspicuous sta tion boars herself with a grace discre tion and nobleness which shecouldnot have exceded had her blood been rayal for seven generations striking cases ot this kind will occur to every person in this assembly they are every lay phenomena in

and whi h gives every advantageous varia tion or sport in a family st ck free op portunity to develop is immesurably more beneficial to i nation than any selective inbreeding founded on class distinctions winch has ever been de mised since democracy has every ad vantage for producing in due m-i-o i:id proportion t:i v best hum in types t is reasonable to expect that science hi literature

think it no crime to cheat a bank said a clerk in a financial institution to a reporter if there is a streak of meanness any where in a man's nature it will crop out whe.i he is put to test on a ques

fairly flew over the ground at last they reached a steep hill or divide which led down into the valley of the medicine there was n i brake on the wagon and the horses were not much on the hold back
