I should, however, advise the settler
to select his 100 acres all in one section
if possible to avoid errors in descrip-
tions, which are apt to occur where Sc
lections like the above are made.
In the outset I spoke of foreigners,
but I should think our own citizens need
quite as much information relative to
public lands as to foreigners, and l am
not sure but the latter are more careful
and better posted as to land laws than
many of our citizens, because they for
eigners) depend largely upon quotations
from our laws published in immigra-
ton documents, while the average
American citizens depends too much
upn "hearsay" authority.
Where land is subject to homestead
and pre-emption entry, the rights Of the
actual settler are always respected, and
he obtains the preference right of entry,
SO that the srrest way of obtaining the
tract desired, is-after satisfying your
self that it is unappropriatcd, and upon
an even numbered section-to estab-
lish your residence upon it, plow or
break an acre of ground, and make
such other minor Improvements as you
may deem proper, and then go to the
nearest land office and make your en-
try.
An act has lately been passed, though
not yet approved, giving the right to
settle upon unsurveyed lands with the
view of making homestead entries after
survey, and allowing three months after
the approved plat of survey has been
filed in the local Office, within which to
make the homestead entry The same
act provides that when a relinquish-
ment Of an entry is filed in local land
office the land shall at once and with
out any action of the general land office
become subject to entry; also that any
qualified person who contests an entry
for abandonment shall, if the entry is
cancelled by reason of said contest be
entitled to a preference right to enter
the land so abandoned, and that said
contestor shall be entitled to thirty days
"grace" after notice of cancellation of
the contested entry, within which to
exercise said right. Having occupied
so much space in giving advice, I am
forced to conclude my letter, which, SO
far as the land code is concerned, is in
the same category as John Billings
long lecture on Africa, in which he
failed to say word about Africa.

A CHERISHED NOTION,
New ork Clipper.

New York Clipper.
Do YOU know cherish the notion.
Were I rich as Id like to be,
With my own little yacht on the ocean,
And a cottage somewhere by the sea.
With Il brown stone front in the city.
And cultured friends in the Hub,
And the chairman Of some committee
In thoroughly high-toncl club;
Do you know, I've notion, my daisy,
1t this blissful condition were mine,
That, somehow, shouldn't go crazy
Over any old vintage of wine,
Nor collect earthenware from the potterS.
Nor presume to set the world right,
Nor keep whole stable of trottels
Nor grapple the "tiger" at night;
Nor marry, as some do, an heiress.
For beauty or fame or blood,
Nor follow the crowd to Paris
Qf New York were swept of its muO.
No, none Of these things would answer
My dream of earthly bliss, =
For hold, my little entrancer,
To fancy somewhat like this:
That with all tho wealth of Golconla
never could hope to buy,
Though over tho world I should wander
One glance from a lovelit eye;
For love is subtle treasure,
Which cannot be bought or sold
which comes at its own sweet pleasure,
And is held by no chains of gold.
L could buy, with my fancied riches
All grosser tangible things;
The vulgar display which bewitches
The rabble, who feel not its stings;
i could buy, on my gold relying,
All products of labor and art
But where is the market for buying
A true and loving heart?
And this Is the notion cherish:
However rich may be,
If Love were to withor and perish
I should die in my poverty.
And though to have millions were pleasant,
If having them parted us two,
Then I'D choose to be but a peasant
A peasant with Love and you!

WHAT GERMANY DID WITH THE
MONEY.
The French Indemnity All Spent in
Preparing for Other Wars.
London Telegraph.


Preparing for Other Wars.
London Telegraph.
Ten years having elapsed since peace
was definitively concluded between
France and Germany, the Imperial
Chancery has submitted to the Federal
Council of the German Empirea final
report upon the manner in which the
French war indemnity has been dispos-
ed of. The total sum exacted from
France by her conquerors as the price
of peace amounted, as will be remem-
bered, to considerable more than 920O,-
OOO, 900, every penny of which had been
expended, distributed to the several
German States or invested in newly
crecated imperial institutions by its
official administrators before the con-
clusion of the financial year 1878. It
would appear from the report in ques-
ton that nearly the whole of this vast
treasure above fourfold the national
debt of Prussia-has been devoted to
purposes directly or indirectly con-
nected with the development of Ger
many's military defenses. The impe-
rial share of the IDENTITY is set down at
about s51 100000, 96,000,O00 of which
in coined gold, lies deposited in the
Julions Tower, at Spandau, and consti-
tutes a fund wherewith the preliminary
expenseses of Germany's next war may
be paid in hard cash. Other &28, 100000
has been employed in founding the
imperial military invalid fund, while
the remaining $17, 100000 odd was
spent in Strengthening the defenses of
Elsass-Lothringen, and in remedying
the damage done to property in those
provinces during the war of 1901.
The balance of the idemnity, between
&160, 100000 and s170,0O0,0OO, was
divided, in exact proportions, to the
respective numbers of the several popu-
lations, among the German States which
had participated in the Franco-German
struggl le namely, the former North Ger
man Confederation, Bavaria, Wurten-
berg, Baden, and Hesse. The portion
allotted to the North German confedera-
ton was dedicated by act of parliament
July S, 1873, to the liquidation of the
war loans, the re-armament of the i'm
perial forces, and the augmentation of
the latter's numerical strength and
lighting capacity. Similar dispositions
OF their shares was made by the minor
German states. Prussia spent her sur
plus in constructing strategical railways
and in fortifying her eastern frontier.
Thus the colossal sums wrung from
France in the hour of defeat and hu-
miliaton may be said to have been en-
tirely absorbed by warlike preparations,
and to have increased, rather than
diminished, the burden of military
harness hitherto so manfully and pa
tiently borne by the long-sufering Ger
man people.

PARIS has 365 miles of paved streets.
Stone blocks are used on 264 miles.
macadam on 80 miles and asphalt on
19 miles. The macadam has been aban-
doned on account Of the expense of
maintaining it in good order and the
lmpossibility of keeping it free from
mud or dust. The cost in Paris for stone
block pavement has been $3.50 the
square yard, against $3.50 for the asp
halt: In Washington the new stone
block pavements have cost on an aver
age only $1.90, and the asphalt $1.47.
