a Good Joke on the Emperor.

A Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun tells an excellent joke on the
Emperor. He says that on the occasion of
his visit to the Supreme Court chamber on
Monday last, Dom Pedro was conversing in
an audible tone with the Brazilian Minis
ter while Justice Miller was reading an
opinion. The Marshal of the court raped
and commanded silence, and Judge Miller
suspended his reading, and remarked stern
ly, I'VE don't allow but one to talk here at
time" The Emperor was quite discom-
fitted, and shut up at once, and as soon a. he
recovered his equanimity left. Neither the
Justice nor the Marshal knew who he was.
Afterwards some one remarked to Justice
Miller that it was the Emperor of Brazil
whom he had rebuked, when the Justice
said Emperon must respect the prophecies
of the court room just - well - common
people.

Personal decoration are killed Immediately
when caught and prepared in the ordinary
way By taxidermists; but here is Just where
the mistake is made. The birds are taken
alive, and, while living. the skin Is skillful-
ly stripped from their quivering, ghastly
bodies. BY this process, il is claimed that
the feathers retain firmer hold upon the
skin. Such is the method by which all
birds used in the decoration of ladies' has
are prepared. Think of the exquisite hmm

the oriofe, and numberless Others Of beau

The Use of Well Water in Cities.

The State Geologist OF New jersey, in
his recent report, calls attention TO the hab-
il, still in Use in some of the older cities OF
New Jersey, of people drawing their sup
ply OF water from old wells. In an analy-
sis of the water coming from some nine
wells in Princeton, five of them were found
TO contain free ammonia albuminous mat
ter, and chlorides in excess. In tracing
the effects of these waters, il was found in
almost all cases that diarrhma and t.
phoidal fevers accompanied their Use. It
is almost impossible to be sure OF the
good quality of any well which is sur
rounded by houses, where drains ard sinks
empty into the surrounding soil. Ii would
he well if the proprietors OF large country
hotels would not only look more closely to
their sources of water, bat eschew well wa
ter entirely. For the health of their guests
it is better in all cases, where running wa
ter does not exist, 10 seek their source Of
water from cisterns which are fed from the
rainfall On the roofs-Scientifc American

A Startling Telegram.

Hank Wagner in Los Angeles. Cal, Republic
CHANGING over daily paper this morning
! blundered upon the following item of
news:
"a special from Lawrence, Kansas, says
that the Missouri river is rising rapidly
at that point and great fears of serious
freshet are entertained"
Now that looked all right on the face Of
ii and reads coherently 10 Feiee Islander,
or B!ackfoot Indian, but 10 one who is
conversant with the geography and topo-
graphy Of the places bounded by that rag
ing canal, the Missouri river, il is one of
the most startling dispatches that ever
swUng over the wires. Lawrence, Kansas,
is thirty miles from the Missouri, hence
the cities and hamiets which line that
Shaggy irrigator must be things that WERE
Jefferson City is doubtless loating around
new on the coast OF Norway somewhere
Lexington is in the vicinity of the Horn,
Kansas City Is slashing about in the Carri-
bean sea, and Leayen worth has gone on a
cruise 10 Spain. ST. Joe is about passing
Havana, Cuba, rs l write, while Council
Blnfls and Omaha are sailing along side by
side singing, I'VE are all band of bur
glars" But If these big towns are all gone,
where are the corner groceries at Sarcoxie
and Hogwash, or the gin mills at Tonganox-
lie. Such facts as these crowded in on a
man all at once are enough TO make MIN
break out into parody this way.
Oh the high old bilin' water.
Oh the long damp stream of water,
Ever higher, wider, deeper
Grows the big Missouri river,
Ever faster, dirtier, farther
Flows the stream DER all the Landscape,
These news dispatches are constant
source OF joy to me-they corral into them
selves such a wealth of facts and consistency
that one can even wish that he were dead.
Should read in them some day that New
York was bounded on the north by the Bal
tic sea, and on the southwest by the bay OF
San Pedro, should have the same implicit
confidence which sustains me now. Yet
still L am afraid that some time when the
Prince of Liars comes along he will get ex-
separated at his second rate ability, and re-

A Great Deal Of Respect for that Man,

Under the protecting wing Of Capt. J. b.
johnson, behind his prancing steeds, we
took run down to the Historic City this
week. The captain is jolly good soul and
most entertaining companion, but he
would sneer at Tice. On our return he
says: "What a humbug that lice is !!
Now to-day, according TO his predictions,
We were to he visited by heavy storm, and
see how warm and pleasant the air is, how
clear the sky, and with what brightness the
sun shines, Bah! Tice is perfect hum
bug" Two hours from that time We were
in the midst of a furious, dashing storm,
the binding flaEhes of electricity, and the
deafening crashes OF thunder following each
other in quick succession, while the rain
poured in torrents and the driving hail
stones dashed our frenzied horses into wild
gallop. Ii was an exciting moment, and in
the midst of it the Captains pale face
peered over his shoulder, and we could hear
the faint tones of his voice above the roar
and din of the furious elements: 81 tell
you i have great deal of respect for that
man Tice. He is certainly genius"
No longer doth the Captain sit in the seat
of the scornful-Oa.Gioosa IndeDeHde1t.

A Big Wheat Crop

c. c. Hutchinson 4 Co., have entered in
to co-partnership with Capt J. ID. Shane,
of Abilene, Kansas, under the style of
Hutchinson & Shane, wheat growers and
land agents, and are entering upon BUSH
ness extensively. Capt. Shane, formerly =
partner with T. c. Henry, arrived last week
with sixty yoke of oxen, plows, chairs,
harrows and q complete outfit. They are
row camped about six miles so ltheast of
the city and are turning over the sod in
hurry. They have a blacksmith with
them, and employ altogether more than
twenty hands. They have purchased six
sections of the railroad company, half of
which they will put in wheat this year and
the whole Of it next year. The stand of
wheat, Gown last fall, is now magnificent,
and such enterprises as above indicated
will do much towards calling attention to
our unsurpassed country. We can raise
winter wheat and have no end of water
power to grind it.-Hrachigson Ners.
