very much excited by the address Of
lmans Hadjas, and the wandering Der.
wishes, who have reused the ianatiCal
passions OF their followers TO such pitch
that foreigners state there is imminent
danger OF u massacre Of the Raiahs. The
Christians assert that they have already
paid their taxes for the present year, now
being collected second time. The taxes
are assessed at 81 piastres per head, be-
sides the Rajahs are taxed 81 piastres
on each male for exemption from militia

one,third Of the products Of the lands
cultivated by the peasants exact this
third in money, knowing their third will
be requisitioned by the military il taken.

Christians follow their vocations in. safe

OF the accusation Of bad administration,
and are most deqirous to make radical
changes; but bad system from beginning

We hear a good deal of complaint from the
farmers about the abundance OF the rodents
that are now inieSting their fields and the
damage they are doing to the groing corn
The following plan we see recommended FOR

You can get rid OF them by putting some
boxes in places exposed TO rats. Fill these
boxes part full with bits of wool, old newspa-
pers or anything else in which a rat can nest
and hide. Then put into these boxes the re.
fuse of your tables, bits of raw meat, cold pc.
tatoes cat small so they will eat and swallow
them. and not dig the pieces out and leave

FARM AND GARDEN.


/ State Assayer Hayes, Of Massachusetts,
! whatever his other duties may be-, IN con
junction with President Chandler, of the
board of health, are acting in a peculiar man
ner by opposing the use of Paris green as Il
destroyer OF potato bugs.
The frst.named Official declares that il the
,ubers are not poisoned, the earth Is sure to
be- and the Yankees are so careless that they
do not wash their potatoes carefully, so that
while eating dirt with their esculents they
are certain TO be poisoned The board of

The Colorado bug first made It's appearance
in the west in 1864, and until it was discover
ed that Paris green would check them, all
the laborious attempts at hand picking, etc,
were useless, and ii was feared they would
finally eXterminate this useful vegetable alto
gether. Many ignorant and unclean persons
were poisoned by handling the unclean larva
of this repulsive pest, ignorant as they were
of its dangerous qualities.
About 1868 various poisons were tried, d.
luted with certain powdered substances, such
as plaster wheat middlings and flour, corn
meal, road dust, etc. The arsenite of copper,
or Paris green, was found to be the most eff
fectual, and in the west hundreds Of tons
have been consumed, single firm in one city
having bought five tons at once for retailing
to customers. Hundreds of thousands Of per
sons have used it, without single authentic
case of poisoning from 1t that the writer has
ever heard of.
Ofcourse, as an active poison, it is very
dangerous, and must be used carefully. The
writer has bought large quantity of it with
in the past ten years for himself and neigh
bors, has mixed it, in the proportion of one
pound of Paris green to thirty of wheat mid
dings, and has busted over fully hundred
acres of potatoes, shaken from an old can
with the bottom perforated, early in the morn.

the slightest injury ensued to anything except

PARKERsBURG, July l. The man who does

the Fourth he was never caught asleep. He

He hauled coal several weeks in succession,

or six stalwart men until he wore them out

twenty nine days discharged him with GER

freak Of nature. Many stories Of the untiring
energy and activity of this man are told, and
all agree who know him that this antipode OF
Rip Van Wrinkle is the most sleepless man
they ever met.
Mr.. Saunders Is now about fifty.six years OF
age, and says that he has not known what
sleep is for eighteen years. He himself can
not account for it, as he says the change in
his physical organization occurred within
three days, and that he never was sick IN his
life, and took medicine but once, and that
was when he had a catarrh, about three years
ago. He is hale, hearty man, and bids fair
to live many years yet. He is conscientious

Keeping a Secret.


Ruggles, an old cabinet.maker of Boston
told me that he used to make the artist Stu
arts panels for him. They were made DINA
hogany, and as Stuart complained that he
missed the rough surface of canvas that was
favorable to the sparkle OF his color, Ruggles
invented the way of producing that sort OF
surface by cutting teeth IN the plane.ron and
dragging it backward, that proving the best
way of indenting without tearing the wood
Ruggles SAID that at the time he used to work
for Stuart, his shop was on Winter street, on
the ground floor and one day, sitting at his
shop door, he saw Stuart coming down the
street. in earnest conversation with a gentle
man. Stuart came down into the shop fol
lowed by his friend, and, said Ruggles, 81
saw that the gentleman was urging him to

kansas: A PrOsperOus State.

Ofall the grain-growiDg states. both old
and new, the most remarkable is Kansas. She
springs to the front IN her average yield per
acre of the cereal crops, while her nutrlcious
native pasturage affords An inexhaustlble sup
ply of feed for stock. Four hundred miles
long by 200 wide, there is scarcely one other
more than 100000 acres that is not adapt.
ed in one form or another to agricultural or
pastoral purposes. What is known as the
golden belt lies through the middle of the
state, east and west, along line fifty miles
or more IN width, and which, curously
enough, passes through the geographical cen.
ter of the United States. All the streams of
the state seek its center, and their waters
eventually find their way into the Kansas
river. The golden belt covers the broad val
ley of the Kansas, the mouths Of the Repub-
lcan and Solomon, and the valleys of the
Saline and Smoky Hill. A large number of
prosperous towns, varying from 900 to 90
600 In population have sprung up through
the middle Of the belt, along the line Of the
Kansas Pacific railway. Each of these towns,
or cities as most Of them are called, com.
mands It's proportion of the trade which is
the Outgrowth of the settlement Of the sur
rounding country
The present population of Kansas is a little
over 100000. Five millions of Gcres OF land
are under cultivation. The grain crop of
this year is expected to aggregate 120,00O,0OO
bushels, of which about S00000C0 will be
corn, nearly 100000 wheat, and the re.
mainder oats, barley, rye and other small
grains. The value of the agricultural pro
ducts tor the year 1915 was oyer 100000
The value of he crops Of the present year Is
estimated at S600]0,000. Many of the agri
culturists of Kansas are now turning their al
tention principally to winter wheat as the
most profitable pecialty.-Hansas Cor. Men
