The sweet potato crop is unusally fine
this season, and large quantities Of the
most magnificent sacchsrine tubers are
daily brought to our markets and shipped
away. On the contrary, the crop OF Irish
potatoes bids fair TO be light, As the early
potatoes are not keeping we'll and the dry
weather will undoubtedly cut short the
late crop.

Quite sensation was created on the
streets OF Olathe sunday afternoon by the
appearance of 4 pose Of men heavily arm
ed marching in with a couple Of wagons,
one OF which was occupied by tao men
and the other by Two men and woman
with an infant child in her arms. Inquiry
soon revealed the fact that Constable ID ;.

head Of the posse and that the occupants

represented that they we're from Wisonsin

US that he arrested the outfit in the forenoon
Of thatday in the eastern part Of the coun-
ty under . charge OF robbery made against
them by Mr.. Isaac Holloway, who lives
near Belton, No, and whose house they en-
tered the day previous, while the family
was absent and stole a lot OF clothing,
jewelry and provision. Mr.. Holloway was
with the party when the arrest was made
and when the officers insisted upon search

Of the party drew revolver and attempted
to shoot one of the posse and which he GER

DOSAGE Mission Journal, isl
At the time when, in 1924, the Osage In
dians removed from Missouri to this local
ity, they we're !, 900 strong and when Fa-
ther Schoenmakers came here, in 1s47,
they numbered fully $500; but in 1862
the measles broke out among them and car
ried off 800 in a single month. In 1860 the
number had became reduced to about 2, 800
and nov Father S. says there are less
than 1,C0O, all told. For this result, the
duplicity and rapacity Of the white man
has mainly to answer; and . fearful reck-
oning it will be for those instrumental in
bringing about this terrible decimstion Of
these wild wards Of the nation, whose blood
cries aloud for justice.

A loafer is always welcome in the com
posing room OF a newspaper ofiice. For
some reason or other, known only TO the
craft, 4 lively conversation carried on by a
friendly loafer always makes printers
hump themselves. They can always Sc;
several thousand more in night under the
influence OF a gentle racket, and strange TO
say, there is seldom an error in their proof
sheets. If you want quick and accurate
work in a composing room, always hire an
extra hand to DO the loafing. d&w-tf

Some of our flowers came from lands of
perpetual summer, some from countries of
ice and snow, some from islands in the
ocean. Three of our sweetest exotics came
originally from Peru; the camelia was
carried to England in 1889, and few years
afterward the heliotrope and mignonette.
Several Others came from the Cape of Good
Hope; very large Gala was found in bitches
thero and some of the most brilliant gerani-
ums, or pelargoniums which are a spurious
geranium. The verbena grows wild in Bra
zil the marigold is an African flower, and
numbers come from China and Japan. The
little Daphne was carried to England by
Captain Ross, from almost the farthest land
he visited towards the north pole. Some OF
these are quite changed in form by cultiva-
tion others have only become larger and
brighter while others, despite of all the
care of florists and the shelter of lighthouses
fell far short Of the beauty and fragrance oi
the tropics.
Among improved ones is the dahlia
When brought to Europe it was a very sim
pie blossom, single circle of dark petals
surrounding mass of yellow ones Others,
with scarlet and orange petals, were soon af.
ter traDsplanted from Mexico, but still re-
mained simple dowers. Long years of culti-
walton in rich SOIL with other arts of skill
fnl florists, have changed it to what it now

To Tell a Horses Age.

Up to the period when colt has a full set
of teeth the peculiar character of them is a
good Indication of the age of the animal.
After that age of the horse is indicated by
the wearing down of the teeth.--When a
colt is one year old he has cut twelve nip.
pers and sixteen grinders.-During the
second year the permanent teeth begin to
appear and the nippers become worn. Dur
ing the third year the milk or first teeth fall
out and are replaced by permanent teeth,
which are larger than the first ones. The
grinders are also increased to six in each
jaw. AT five years the mouth is complete.
After six years no reliance can be placed
on the teeth as an indication of age, as it is
obvious much depends on the manner of
feeding the horse. If he is pastured to any
extent the teeth become worn down sooner
than if he had been fed on soft food.-N y.

Temple Of Agriculture at Pekin.

In the spring of every year the Chinese
pay great honors to agriculture. The en-
peror proceeds to the park surrounding the
Temple of Agriculture at Pekin, and in
plot Of ground reserved for the purpose and
in the presence of the grandees of the En-
pire, he guides, the imperial plow, and uses
the seed planter, rake, &c. The implements
employed by him are devoted to his excu-
siue use, and are of bright yellow color !;
and no inferior person can plow or SOW the
emperor's plot when he is not able to come
his part in left barren. The grain sown by
the emperor is rice. The governor of the
province and the mayor of the city then i'm
itate the emperor in plots reserved for
them, using implements of red color and
sowing millet,
Afterward the emperor AMI attendant prin-
ces and officials proceed to the Temple of
Agriculture, which Is dedicated to Shin
Nung, or the "Divue IIusbaudman," the
fabulous originator Of the art. Here bull
locks, swine, and sheep are offered in sacri-
fees and prayers made to Shin.Nug and
also TO the god of the, land, the god of the
grain, the god of the ocean, the god Of the
wind, the god of thunder, and the god OF
rair. They are also very particular to wor-
ship what is called the god of the year. In
ancient times. this was the planet Jupiter
but at present the officers who advise and
act for the emperor in these matters can.

Similar plowing and worshiping are per.
