Some Of the Expenses.

1t is gratifyidg 10 the people to
know that their money is not squan-
dered, and that the men entrusted
with the handling Of the funds are
actuated by spirit of genuine econ
my. They will also be convinced in
reading the following charges on the
the books of the treasury department
that John Sherman's clerks were not
averse to the use of soap. AS 'sclean-
illness is next to godliness," it will
be taken for granted that Sherman's
boys were good boys The other items
cannot be SO classed among orthodox
expenditures:
For soap the charge last year was
$8,8l0.40; for brushes and combs,
$424, 40, and s218,72 for hemming
towels, to say nothing of the cost of
the unhemmed articles. There is one
item of $3.50 for "H. 3. screw tools, y
supposed to mean cork screws, and
S14 for four padlocks. A charge of
81 is put against travelling satchel.
Matches cost $40. Under the ice
account are the following items: Five
hundred hyacynth fulbs, $50: $50 ge-
anium plants, S24.75; $50 more hya-
cinth bulbs, $25; 200 assorted plants
sos.
When regular investigation comes
up in order, as it will some of these
days, mine of "soap" and etc's., will
be strucd.

A Miners Romance.
GIVES UP HIS SWEETHEART TO A RICH
CHUM-MARRIED YEARS AFTER
WARD.

At Amherst College, in the class
of '53, there were two chums, who
had stuck together ever since they
had entered college They were
fast friends and no tronble had ever
disturbed their friendship. Ono
was the son OF rich parents and tho
other of country minister. When
they graduated, the rich mans son
went into business with his father
in New York and took his friend
with him IS an employee. Things
went smoothly for some time, when
that common accident of life hap
pened-they both fell in love with
the same girl. The fight IN the
heart of the employee was long end
bitter, bat contrasting his position
with that of his friend, the differ
ence in the advantages he could Of
fer the woman, he yielded, and
with scarce a word OF parting, with
none of explanation, he left New
York and went West. A year af-
terward found him in San Francis
co, and lie soon joined the gold
diggers. His fortune was varied
at times poor. Afterward in Ne
vada he followed silver-mining,
and when the silver craze struck
Leadvillc he went there. There
he was successful, and this spring,
a rich man, he determined 10 return
East for the first time in twenty
four years. Yesterday, as he got
off the southwestern train at Will
ton Iowa, and went to get on tho
main line tram, which was to carry
him to Chicago, lady who was
trying to turn seat attracted his
attention. Stepping forward to
help her, he first looked with won-
der, then JOY, to see that it was the
woman he had run away from 80
long ago, woman now past 40,
but handsome yet. He talked to
her tirnidly at first, and uncertain.
When he learned that she was yet
unmarried, his questions came fas-
ter yet, and her present condition
was SOON known to him. Her par
ents had died, and, depending on
her own exertions for support, she
had Taught school, and as present
was principal OF a school in West
tern Iowa. The old love still lived
in the miners heart, and he soon
found that he had not been cntire-
ly forgotten by her. TO make a
long story short, it was a very hap
py-lcoking couple who got off the
train here last night, looking for a
minister, and a still happier one
which registered at the Sherman as
MIR. and Mrs. Shearburn, LeadYille
Colorado.

How the Japanese Keep Meat Fresh

The Japanese method of keep
ing meat fresh in hot weather con-
sists in placing the raw flesh in
porcelain vessels and pouring on it
boiling water, whereby the albu-
men on the surface is quickly coag-
rlated, and forms protection
against the further action of the
water. Oil is then poured on the
surface of the water SO as to pre-
vent the access of air and conse-
quent putrefaction Of the meat.
The system of protecting animal
substances by securing coagulations
OF their albulnen and exclusion of
aif is, OF course, NO novelty, and it
can hardly be supposed that we are
indebted to the Japanese for its
original adoption. 1t lie, however,
much to be preferred to our own
method. f''a cac4sEsEy} f- 80

Resistance to the new proh1bito.

Resistance to the new prohlbito-
ry laws of Kansas has gone 80 far
that while juries in the cities re-
fuse to convict liquor sellers, even
upon the clearest evidence, IN At
Gibson the Common Council, with
the corporation of its presiding
officer, the Mayor, has adopted an
ordinance providing for the grant
of license to taverns and saloons.
This action was taken in express
ridicule and defiance of the pro-
hlbitory constitutional amendment
and the laws based upon it. The
temperance men have since then
had mass>meeting, and call upon
the Mayor to resign. while the
Governor threatened to call out the

cution by force of arms. All this

money, and rising from his seat, he
remarked in the mildest manner
imaginable !: Gentlemen, you've

A reas on for the application of salt
as a fertilizer tor growing crops is
that it contains both soda and chlo-
rine. Nearly all plants contain these
substances to some extent, and need
to be supplied; some plants contain
more than others, as, for instance,
white clover contains FIVE pounds of
soda and two pounds of chlorine IN
one thousand pounds beets, cab
bage and turnips contain from four
to Elk pounds in one thousand to-
bacco contains seven pounds Of So
da and nine podnds OF chlorine, and
all of these are greatly benefited by
an application of salt.

During the last season the Kansas

During the last season the Kansas
State Agricultural College kept an
exact account Of the cost Of raising
corn, winter wheat, oats and millet
and gives the following result:
Corn, q acres produced. Cost Il
cents per bushel.
Wheat, AZ acres produced II bush
els per acre. Cost about "a cents per
bnshel.
According to this statement it will
cost more to produce an acre of wheat
than an acre of corn; AZ bushels of
corn produced per acre, at IA cents
per bushel aggregates 1888, which
represents the cost of cultivating an
acre of corn, while Il bushels of wheat
at cost of 54 cents per bushel
amounts to 1918, the cost Of eultiva-
ting an acre of wheat.
Oats, sixteen acres yielding 20
bushels per acre, cost % cents per
bushel, or a cost of $3.50 cents per
acre.
1t appears from this that it costs
Just about double to cultivate an acre
of wheat that it does for an acre OF
oats.

Facts.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully con
suit the time tables of the Baltimore
and Ohio road. Its celebrated fast
trains, its sure connections, and rates
always as low as the lowest, make it
beyond all controversy the best line
west. Colonists are carried in first
class cars on fast trains, and every
possible care is taken to instire comfort
and convenience. BY the Baltimore
and Ohio only is the choice of routes
offered to the west, via ST. Louis or
Chicago, and in either case, trains run
through without change of cars. Di-
rect connection is made at both cities
with all leading lines to the west,
northwest and southwest, and there is
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota
etc. No other line can offer such adj
vantages as the Baltimore and Ohio.
1t costs but very little time and trou-
Bile to learn this, and in the end may
lead to the saving of much Of both as
well as m ney. Above all things do
not purchase tickets before having a
talk or receiving letter from one Of
the B. & O. Agents. A letter address
ed to B. F. Bond, Cumberland, Md. !;
to G. Z. Dudrow, Harper's Ferry; to
Dan'l Bride, Baltimore, Md; or j.

ny details of time, connections, fares,

HOUSE, FARM AND FIRESIDE.

FARMERS AS A CLAss.-Of all men
farmers are more secluded in their
habits than others. The occupation
of fdrfiiing seems TO somewhat de-
prize tlierii of association. and yet it
Is an erroneous manner of viewing
the matter The great dread Of those
who have been accustomed to city
life, when the advantages of the coun-
try are contemplated by them, is the
lonesomeness and lack of enjoyment.
This may be fact in some localities
but farmers are in position to have
more enjoyment than those people
who live in crowded cities. Farmers
however, draw away from the rest of
mankind, and are to themselves dis
tinct class. We can see no reason
why every agricultural district can
not Have a library, a lecture room,
and bublic hall for social enter
tainment. Farmers are not obliged
to draw through the long winters tie
diously, retiring to bed ut shutdown,
and shaking hands with the neigh
bors only on Sundays when entering
Or leaving the church.
There is now no longer any neces-
sity for farmers locking themselves
up and retiring, like alternating ami
mails into winter quarters and there
remaining until the robin sounds the
note of spring. Let them band to-
gether for profit and pleasure. Teach
the young people to enjoy themselves
and enter into enjoyment with them.
Have at least one hall, with books,
magazines and newspapers always at
hand, and at least once or twice a
week enjoy lecture or entertainment.
Try the advantages of cooperation
and you will enjoy yourself in man
her both profitable and pleasurable.
Our Creator intended happiness for
all his creatures, and while it is our
duty to perform our work well, and
do all we can, it is still further du-
ty in us to be happy and confer it on
others.
