The lands are rich, and nu­ merous lakes cover the entire extent of the reservation, a good portion of which is wcoded and of a hilly character. In fact, the character of the lands reflects much credit on the judg­ ment of the Sisseton Indians, who chose this land as their reward for their help to the settlers in the Indian war of 18B2. For nearly thirty years they held the reservation intact, but finally concluded they would prefer to have their lands in severalty and live like whites, so the matter was soon arranged, with the aid of a commission, and a scramble for lands was the result. * The Indians have selected many of the best lands on the reservation, but it' is estimated that enough for about four thousand claims of 160 acres each still remained up to the hour of opening.

The ^reporter's pencil has trained Many a hand for the novelist's pen. It trained Charles Dickens, who, at the age of nineteen years, did report­ er's work of such excellent quality as to draw from the late Eirl of Derby, then Lord Stanley, a prediction that the stripling reporter was destined for a great career. Young Dickens had imported:the last part of Lord Stanley's specch in the House of Commons against O'Con- nell. When the proofs of the speech were sent to Lord Stanley thai gen­ tleman returned them with the re­ mark that the first two-thirds of It wei« so badly reported as to be unin­ telligible; but that if the gentleman who had reported the last part of It eo admirably would call upon him he would repeat his speech and httve itj reported again. , . ' M- Young Dickens, note-book in hand, made his appearance at Mr. Stanley's, and was reluctantly shown by the servant into the library. When the master of the house came in he ex­ pressed astonishment with his eyes as well as by his words. "I beg pardon," said he, "but J had hoped to see the gentleman who had reported the last part of my speech." "I am that gentleman," answered Dickens, turning red in the face. „ "Oh, indeed!" said Stanley, turning to conceal a smile. Sir James Graham then came in, and Stanley began his speech. At first he stood .still, addressing one of the window-curtains as "Mr. Speaker." Then he walked up and down the room, gesticulating and declaiming with all the fire he had shown in the House of 'Commons. ' Sir Jatnes, with a newspaper report before him, followed, andoccasionally corrected Stanley. When the proof of the speech had been read by the orator, he returned it to the'editor with a note predicting the future success of his young reporter. Many years afterward Charles Dick­ ens, the popular npvelist, was invited to dine with Lord Derby. The guests were shown into the library, and Dickens, though hei had forgotten the incident of the speech, felt a strange sensation, as if he had been there be­ fore. At last something recalled the re­ porting adventure, and he reminded his host of it. Lord Derby was de* lighted to recognize in the popular novelist his boy reporter.--Youth's Companion. , Is Darwinism a tsllnrs^ Since the Darwinian theory of the origin of man made its first victori­ ous mark, twenty years ago, we have sought for the intermediate stages which were supposed to connect man with the apes; the proto man, the pro anthropos, is!not yet discovered. For anthropological science the pro anthropos is even a subject of discus­ sion. At that time in Innspruck the prospect was, apparently, that the course of descent from ape to: man would be reconstructed all at once; but now we cannot even prove the descent of the separate races from one another. At this moment we are able to say that among the peoples of antiquity no single one was auy nearer to the apes than we are. - " At this moment I can affirm that there is not upon earth any ab­ solutely unknown race of men. The least known of all are the people of the central mountainous district of «the Malay Peninsula, but otherwise we know that the people of Terra del Fuego quite as well as the Esqui­ maux, Bashkirs, Polynesians, and Lapps. Nay, we know more of many 6f these races than we do of certain European, tribes; I need only men­ tion the Albanians. Every living race is still human; no single one has yet been found that we can des­ ignate' as simian or quasi-simian. Even when in certain ones phenomena appear which are characteristic of the apes--e. g.. the peculiar ape-like pro­ jections of the skull in certain races- still we cannot say that these men are ape-like.--Prof. Virchow, before the late Anthropological Congress in Vienna. Bee*. There is a Question in the minds of most beekeepers whether or not the acts of "the bee are governed by in­ stinct or reason. On this subject some take the position that the acts of the bees are governed by intelligent thought. To prove this they cite the fact that bees gather honey only in climates subject to winter weather. If our bees are taken to Australia, where the summers are perennial, they Jiearn in a few years to store up no honey, gathering it only as they need it for sustaining life. The only way the Australian can get honey is to import queens from cold countries every few years, they not having learned that is unneooMary.

TWELVE MEN DROWNED. Bttaers In a Pennsylvania CoUtery Over­ taken by Pent-Up Water. A horrible accident .occurred at the Lytle coUiery, near Minersvlile, Pa. Ten or twelve men are said to have lost their lives by the flooding of tl\e mine With an Immense body of water that burst through' the old workings. The colliery officers admit that eight men are dead, among them Miners Dolbin, Bell, and Buggy. The works are located on Primrose Mountain, tapping the great Wolf Creek colliery, which has lain . idle for some years, owing to the large accumulation of wates. Two years age the operators began to reopen the tract .by putting in new slopes. Gangways are being pushed out from these slopes on all sides of the new workings. The old water lies there, and it was the burst­ ing through of one or more of these de- ' posits without warning that caught the miners while at work. It is not known exactly how many men were drowned, but besides the American miners there were a large number of Italian and Hungarian laborers at-work Inside, and It is thought at least six of them are also drowned.
