Now York Sun.
MITCHELL , Dak. , July 8. Most of the
yonng Jadlos who own and work farms In
this territory hiwo a great abhorrence of
notoriety bocauaa of the number of
bores thnt are turo to hunt thorn tip ,
either in person or by letter. A floating
paragraph abont a yonng woman who has
n farm near this plaoa , wbish appeared In
the nowapnpara a few years ago , brought
her more thin a hundred letters Inside
of three months. Those mlnalvcs wore
of every variety under the sun , and In
cluded nearly everything , from an offer
of advlco on wheat planting to proposi
tions of marriage. Whllo speaking with
her yesterday on theto subjects aha sild :
" 1 had Boino of the fannlest letters
you over road. About a dozjn of them
were from men who wanted to marry ,
evidently n lazy , shiftless lot , for not ono
of them could spoil , and In every case
the letters indicated Ignorance oven of
the common codrtcsioa of life. They
were principally from widowers , and all
began by saying that they had been
thinking of going to Dakota for a long
tlmo. 1 suppose they all thought that I
would jump at the chance to get them.
I never answered any of them. Some of
the letters wcro from old ladles In the
eastern and middle states who wanted to
glvo mo qood advice , and others were
from girls , wldowa , and old maids asking
how I managed to got along , and what
was necessary for them to do In order to
got themselves established as well as I
am. I answered some of these , and two
or throe of them have written mo since.
"Tho worst nuisances that I have to
deal -with , " fho continued , "are thomon ,
young and old , who came out to see me.
They nra about the toughest lot I overheard
hoard of. I have had to drive some of
them off the place , as they Boomed deter
mined to stay. I suppose that It is so
everywhere , but It scorns strange that a
woman can't go ahead and accomplish
something for hcraolf without being wor
ried to death by all the old hammers ,
cranks , widowers , and dudes within a
thoutand miles. Ono young fool came
to sco mo last sprint ; , and after following
mo around a slx-acro lot twice , just be
cause I treated him decently , actually had
the nerve to ask mo if my thoughts over
turned to matrimony. 1 told him they
never had , though I didn't ' know what
might happen If I came across just the
right person. That aoomod to help him
on a little , and ho asked what sort of a
person It wonld have to bo. I told him
I didn't know , and called his attention to
the fact that my off horse was a Ilttlo of !
his feed.
"How would I do ? " says the young fel
low , and I aajo :
" 'If I had a ton-aero lot full of follows
like yon I wouldn't take the trouble to
ecrapo you up with a hone rako.1
"Ono elderly man from Pennsylvania
c mo hero last fall and , stopping In town ,
ho would drive out hero every day. Ho
began at first by pretending to have a
deep religions interest In mo. Then ho
wanted to know how I stood financially ,
how I got my farm , and how much I made
from it. It took him several days to gel
what ho wanted to know , and then ho In
timated a wish on his part to take tea
with mo , and spend an hour or two in
the evening at my house , as there was
something that ho wanted to say to me.
I tried to get rid of him , but ho was olt
enough to bo my father , and was so do
cent about things generally that I finally
consented. After tea ho took out a
conplo of chairs on the east side of the
house , and when wo had both seated our
selves , ho said :
" 'I have been thinking for a long tlmo
about marrying again. I've got '
" 'Now , you stop right whore you are ,
said I , 'or I'll sick the dog on you. I
that's the nature of your remarks , wo'J
adjourn this meeting right hero. 1'vo gel
work to do , and I don't want any foolluf
around , '
"You never saw a man got up and gtl
iiko ho did , Ho never aald a word , and
I have never eoon him since.
4 'I rather like Homo of thoao young
chaps from the city , though the kino
that are not making love , but who are
always wanting to help you. They think
they are so strong , and when there Is
anything to bo done they are so quick to
take hold ; but , gracious goodness , ]
could break a good many of them In two
If I wanted to. Thoy'ro good boys ,
though , and I'll novcr say anything
against them. "
This young lady , who la as brown as a
berry and as salld as a rueaet , with al
the sprynoes and grace of the gentlest ol
her BOX , owno lGOaros of good land , ani
has It under a pretty fair state of culti
vation. Some old farmers ml ht make
fun of a few things and sha readily ad
mits ( bat fiho has much to learn , but she
manages to inako her living and consider
ably more. Her mother lives with her
and with the assistance of a stout maid
of all work , they get along without any
molo'help. DC fore the yonng woman
came hero she tried to make her living as
dreesmaker In a small Michigan town ,
but she failed at that and finally deter
mined to come here and Bottle down on
i farm. She laughingly a ay a she don't
{ now how long siio will keep at It , and
.hero . are those who anspoct that before
"ong somebody will como whosa suit will
lot be In vain.
" 'Just give mo a boost with this bag
of corn now. Pleasure first , business
iterw&rd. '
"Ho novcr returned to the subject ,
nor did I. There have boon others-just
Iko him , and wo have fonnd that the
> ott way la to just pass them off. They
get over It right away , and If It don't
hem any more than it does ID , no harm
a dono. There Is one point , though ,
in which my slater and I are agreed.
Wo realize well enough that the tlmo
may como when it will be host for use
o bo married. This life la not all pleas
ant , by any moans , but there la ono
upromo tattsfactlon about it. We are
IOTT Independent- whatever course
wo pursue will be followed becauae wo
rant to follow it , and not becaueo we
mvo to. Any two young men who think
hey are coming ont here to settle down
on cue farm are going to find ont their
nistake. We have figured the whole
out , and our terms are fixed , If
we have to wait till we'ro forty years
old , Wo have 200 acres of good land ,
and when we marry there muet be two
more SCO-aera lots with ouw. Now , I
: all that a fair propoeitlon , and any way
t U the only one that we'll ever accept. "
Up noir Blunt there are two young
slateis , not more than 25 years old , who
own and work a farm of 200 ecrea. They
wont to their claim before there was a
building of any kind there , taking a tout
along to live in , and with the ateistauce
of a carpenter for a few dayi they built
their housa and sheds and made ready
for farming operations. These girla
came from an Illinois town , where they
had faoird stories of the productiveness
and cheapness of Dakota lands , and hav
ing no near lelatlvcs to oppose them ,
they atruck out to make their fortune.
Daring the first year they had a prottj
hard tlmo of It. They were healthy , but
not robust , and a great deal of the work
that they had to do wonld have tlrec
the strongest man sorely. Their capital
WAS small , and they did not roallza
enough the firtt year to pay their owr
expenses , but neighbors took an Interest
In them , and the assistance which they
rendered carried them through , After
that they prospered , and every year now
they do better than the year before.
When I saw those girls last , about two
month ) ago , they were resting after n
hard tlny'a work In the field. Except
that their hands were hard and brown ,
they appoarodliko any other young womet
whom ono might meet , save possibly thai
they were fresher , healthier , and brighter.
They both declared that nothing coulc
Induce them to Icavo their farm , and
that no proposition for a life of Idleness
and luxury In a city wonld have any
allurements to thorn. I suggested the
over present topic of matrimony , when
ono of them , the younger , replied with n
good deal of spirit :
"That is what the men are always
talking about. We've hoard proclous
little else from any of them since wo
came horo. I ramembor once crushing a
yonng follow who was ont here , looking
for a place to soUlo , ho said. Ho had
boon following mo around about half the
day , and along towards evening , as I
was doing some chores at the barn , ho
grow sentimental , and proposed to me
right there , I pretended to bo awful
busy , and I said :
There are a great many of those young
and enterprising women In this territory ,
and nearly all of them are doing well.
They are highly respected by all and anyone
ono who was guilty of offering them any
affront , wonld find Dakota , Hg as it Is ,
too small to hold him. As far as hoard
from , not ono of thorn was over annoyed
by anything more serious than repeated
oilers of marriage , which may ba consid
ered inevitable , perhaps , In a society
largely made up of single men , and who ,
after all , are said to bo no drawback to
the territory.
HOW L.\GEU BKBK la BIIEWED.
Ilio ITocoas Described in nn Interest
ing Manner Tlio Part Ice 1'lnys ,
Baltimore Sun ,
Theoretically , It's very easy to brow
beer. Yon got your malt , grind It up , stir
it with hot water , strain It off and boll
thla extract with hopa , cool It off , lot It
ferment and drink It. Practically , it
lan't quite BO easy. It requires a knowl
edge , or a wisdom rather , that time and
experience only can bring , to know how
long to stir , how much extract to use. .
and how much hops , how long to boll ,
and- how long to cool and fast to ferment ,
and how long to keep. These are secrets
which every brewer kccpi to himself ,
very distinctly. But ho will very cheer
fully show you the brewery. Tno malt
house Is not in use this year , because ho
can buy the malt as cheaply as the bar
ley. J llJut ho can show you the largo vats
whore the barley Is steeped , the long
floors on which the soaked swollen grain
Is spread until It attains a certain growth.
There are the kilns In which It is slowly
dried when it has [ sufficiently sprouted ,
and then it la malt , ready for browing.
This he only explains , bocauie , as stated ,
most brewers found it cheaper to buy the
malt than to malt the barley.
Away up In the topmost story of the
brewery the malt Is thoroughly cleaned
of every Impurity , and the Ilttlo sprout
it got In the malt housa Is broken off by
Intricate , beautiful machinery. Then It
drops ono floor to the mill , and la ground
to a sweet white flour. And now the
brewing proper begins , Into a huge clr
cnlar tub of sheet Iron , with a capacity
of GOO gallons the mash tub It slides ,
and a thick copper plpo supplies hot
water. Hero Ingenious machinery etlrs
it round and round how long is the
brewer's secret. The color of the beer
depends much on this , and no two
brewers beer is of exactly the came shade.
It varies from a pale amber to a rich dark
brown.
The extract that drips from the mash
tub after several hour3 of stirring Is the
pure extract of malt. It baa a sweetish
taste , naturally , for the duty of the mash
tub Is to convert oil , or nearly all , of the
starch In the barley Into sugar. The
residue of grain , hulls , etc , , is run out ol
the tub and Bold to the cittlo dealers.
The extracts drips Into a huge kettle on
the next doer below , Hero the hopa ,
first cut up Into smaller pieces , are thrown
In , aid Ihe two arc boiled. The brewer
knows how much hops and how long it
boils. When It stops boiling it la beer ,
but , of course , not the lager boor that
cheers the weary at five cents a glass.
It has not yet fermented. From the
kettle , whosp capacity Is 400 Lurch , It
Is run Into a largo , ehallow reservoir on
a cool ihor , wkoro a constant current of
fresh air cools It off , The famousHuen
chen buer is said to owe much of its rep
utatlon to the cool air that comes frost ) ,
strong , and fragrant from the neighbor
ing liartz Mountains.
But the cool air alone Is hat enough ,
especially in cummer time , and BO the
beer flows over a long cell of bright tubes ,
which ara kept cold by a constant stream
cf water. In aomo hrawcrlea a strong
brine runs through the tubes , Com
pletely cooled , the beer now runa Into
the enormous vats that rctt In the throe
vaulted cellars , ono beneath the other ,
the third being forty feet below the sur
face. Thick coils of plpo run through
the collan , through which brine carries
; he oold produced by a fine ammonia lea
machine on the ground floor of the brew
ery. The coils are everywhere covered
with a coating of lee an inch thick. The
; cinperatnro of the deepest cellar , where
ios the boer that haa been fermenting
) etrreon two and three months , and is
consequently ready for market , is savoral
degrees below the freezing point. Hero
t la drawn off Into small kegs , and an
indless chain hoists the keg up the forty

New York Son ,
A Ilttlo man with a dark moustache ,
who stood in the tread at Sandy Hook ,
dived ono hand into his coat pocket sud
denly and fished ont a metal cartridge
two Inches long. It was packed with
powder , and had a hole through the center -
tor from end to end.
"If you lit that , " ho said , "It would
fizz away harmlessly , just like a Fourth
of July flower-pot. Watch what it does
when I lot It off In this gun-bmol. "
A common smooth-bare , brooch-load
ing gun barrel , that the m n had bought
In town for $2 , lay In the sand. It was
jast four feet long , and had a bore five-
sixteenths of an Inch in diameter. In
front of it , resting right agalnat the muz *
zla of the barral , was a Ilttlo tquaro tar-
got. It was made of nine sheets of bailer
iron screwed together tightly. Each
shoot was olio-quarter inch In thickness.
The Ilttlo man llttod the cartridge in the
breech , nnd right ahead of it laid a thin
rod of tempered stool. It was nine
Inches long , and weighed nine and one-
half ounces.
"Thoro Is nine-tenths of nn ounce of
powder In that cartridge , " ho sold as ho
got Into a bomb proof on the cands , "and
here she goes. "
Ho yanked a s'rlng ' that was attached
to the gun-hammer. There was an ex
plosion and then a thntl. The Ilttlo man
came ont from the shelter of the bomb
proof and picked up the little target. Ho
got a hammer and a wedge and pried It
apart. The stool rod had boon forced
straight through seven thicknesses of the
boiler Iron , then It had boon turned up
ward and broken off. The broken pleca
was wedged between the last two boiler
plates. The topmost inch of it had pone ,
trated the fiber of the iron perpendicular.
ly. The Ilttlo man gazed at the ruin of
the target In admiration.
"That boats the record all hollow , " ho
crlod , exultantly. "The boat that any
body has been able to do horotofora with
a cartridge of that alza Is to drlvo a steel
projectile through an inch of bailer Iron.
It wonld burst the gun to put It to such a
teat with a cartridge of ordinary make , "
Ho d&dged behind the bomb-proof
again and tried it with an ordinary coarse-
graln cartridge. There was a big ex
plosion when ho yanked the string , and
through the peep-holes of the bomb
proof the spectators saw the gnn barrel
blown to flinders. The little man fished
up another of the new-fangled cartridges
from his pocket , and said :
"This thing woo invented by the man
who invented the mnltlchargugun. The
idea consists In the character of the
powder used and In the boring of a hole
through the middle of It after It has been
picked in the cartridge. The superiority
of the cartridge ever anything that h&s
heretofore been gotten np in the eame
11 no Is the Immense power it Inparts to
the projectile and the great reduction of
the strain usually caused upon the gun
by the fores of the explosion necessary to
fire a projectile. Those results are co-
cured by arranging the powder BO that
the force generated at the moment It Is
Ignited will be comparatively small , and
will Increase continually until the whole
charge Is consumed. This arrangement
starts the projectile gently at first , and
then Imparts to it gradually increased
motion , and equalizes the strain upon
the gun. To accomplish this , the powder ,
which la of very line grade , IB packed In
the shell In a solid mass , and then per
forated with the central hole , BO that
when it is Ignited by a primer it will
throw a stream of fire downward through
thia perforation. The stream of fire
Ignites the powder along the Internal
trails of the perforation , and , as this
perforation la comparatively small , the
volume of gossan generated at first la
correspondingly small ; but as the com
bustion proceeds the fire surface continu
ally increases until the entire mtsi of the
powder Is consumed. By properly pro
portioning the slza and shape of the
powder cike relatively to the projectile
to bo used , and to the length of the bar
rel through which It is to bo driven , the
force exerted upon the projectile by the
powder may bo regulated practically at
will , and so as to do the most effective
work In any given case. "
"Can thla principle bo applied to cin-
non as well as to small anna ( ' was
asked.
"Certainly , " the Ilttlo man replied.
"All that IB necessary la to pierce the
aolldly packed powdorlongltndlnally with
a number of holes Instead of ono , and
then make corresponding holes in the
head of the ahell , and arrange thn head
so that the holes can communicate with
each other. This can bo secured by the
introduction into the powder-ciko perfo
rations of a number of tubes projecting
rearrrardly from the cartridge hood , BO
that they will rest against the breech
lock of the cannon , and leave a apace be
tween the lock and the cartridge head.
The construction insures the Instantan
eous and simultaneous Ignition of the
ponder perforations at their head. It in
essential that the powder-cake bo hard
and donee , to that the fire can not pene
trate Into it , but will burn only on its
surfaces that Is , as distinguished from
cakes made o | granular powder , which ,
though solid in form , are grannlar in
structure , and barn In ell directions
through their muse. This method will
maintain the maximum pressure uniform
all the way to Ihe muzzle , and overcome
the Inertia of the projectile , Instead of
applying a maximum pretsuro suddenly
juforo the inertia of the heavy projectile-
o overcome , and Buffering a reduction in
velocity thereby.
"Wo haven't tested the cartridge in a
cannon yet , " the little man said , "but
with small arms we have propelled a pro-
octlle 20,080 feet per second , and that
joata the record for speed , as the perfo
ration of the boiler-iron plata beats the
record in overcoming resistance.
