The ResuIts Of Irrigation.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from Lakin, Kan, Aug. 9th, thus de-
seribes the results of irrigation as practiced
in the western portions of that state. May
not the results achieved by the farmers of
Kansas through the system of irrigation be in
some measure achieved by those of the east
ern states2 Tho Tribune correspondent
says:
"There is one new agricultural feature in
Western Kansas which is well worth atten-
ton. This is irrigation, as carried ON at Gar
den City, 23 miles east of Lakin, where re-
Gently spent two days. Twelve years ago Mr..
Greeley predicted the coming of the day when
the Kansas prairies would be dotted with the
sails of windmills, and when the then sterile
lands along the upper Arkansas would be pierre
ed with irrigating bitches and would yield
abundant crops. At Garden City l saw the
truth of his predictions realized in a way that
proves that the irrigating ditch will soon be as
common here as the windmill already is fur

A GENEROUS ACT
That VIII be Appreciated by All who
Care for Their Complexion and
Skin,

II Is not generally known that the nervous system
has wonderful influence over the skin, but It is well
known to medical men who have given much OF their
time to the study Of diseases Of the skin. No one can
have a clear and fair complexion, unmi1ed with PIN
pies or blotchos, who Is very nervous.
Whatever tends to a heathful condition Of the ner-
vous system always beautihes the complexion aud re-
moves roughness and dryness Of the skin. Some skin
diseases not attended by visible signs on the sur
face, but by an ntoerablo itching that renders life
miserable.
We copy the following deserved and interesting com
pment from the Tribune, which says: "Dr G. W.
Bensons new skin Cure is received by the public
with great confidence, and It is regarded as very
generous act on the doctors part to make known and
prepare for general his valuable and fayorite pre-
scripton for the treatment Of skin diseases after de-
voting almost his entire life to the study aud treat
meut Of nervous and skin diseases, In which he took
great delight He was for a number Of years physi-
clan in charge Of the Maryland Inhrmary on Derma-
tology and anything from his hands is at once accept
ed authority and valuable The remedy is just the
one TO attack the disease both internally through the
blood and externally through the absorbents, and is
the only reliable aud rational mode Of treatment.
These preparations only put up for general use
after having been used by the doctor in his private
practice years with the greatest Success and they
fully merit the confidence Of all classes Of sufferers
from skin diseases" For sale by all druggists at 81 a

In the majority of homes in this country
the husband and wife must work II is for
the family and for the common good, and
should be not only without harm to either of
them, but positive good to both. A good
deal of thoughtfulness on the part of the hus-
band, and u large disregard of Mrs. Grundy
by both husband and wife, should go far TO
relieve the matter The work of the husband
is outside. 1t takes him into daily contact
with his fellow men. He is at the village
store, at the poBt-oflice, at the blacksmith
shop, at the grist-mill His work varies with
the seasons, aud it is carried ON amid the
songs of birds and the sough of the wind
He must sometimes bide the storm, also.
The toll of the wife is an unvarying round
Little children are born, but tho work goes on
all the same, with the added labor that each
child brings. But il with this there could be
an occasional "outng," genuine apprecia-
ton Of her work and sympathy expressed for
her in its performance, and generous shar
ing of the common gain or income, it would
greatly relieve the tedium and care OF the
work that devolves on her W0mdRs Jour.

The next best thing to pleasing a mans
stomach is for his wife to dress up a bit for
his especial benefit He is so hungry that il
would take but spark to kindle flame; but
when he enters and sees the appetizing din
ner ia the act of being dished and his little
woman smiling, neat and tidy, it acts upon
him like dose of soothing syrup. The dust
might be an inch deep on the mantel. piece
he would not see it, broken crockery and
cobwebs might fill every corner-he would
look upon them with all the complacency i'm
aginable, and not attempt their humiliation.
While washing, he tells his wife how pretty
she is, how becoming her hair is arranged in
that fashion, says no man ever had such a
dear little love Of a woman for wife, asks
what she has for dinner that smells so good,
and, though he is really starving waits upon
the table with all the grace and politeness of
a Chesterfield, and selects the best of every
thing for his little wife's plate. During meal
time he tells her all about his work, asks her
advice in regard to his plans, tells funny sto-
ries, propounds conundrums, cracks Jokes,
and renders the dinner hour a very enjoyable
affair. After it is over he makes love to his
wife, plays with the children, sings comic
songs, and goes of to his work whistling mer-
rily, at peace with the world, thinking he has
the happiest home in the world, while his
wife follows him to the door, saying within
herself, "What blessing ii is to have such a
dear, good, cheerful loving husband. - Con-

The RIght Kind of a Deacon.

Some seven or eight years ago, Mr.. 1. A.
Stanwood of this city became financially en-
barrassed, and was compelled to avail himself
of the bankruptcy law. At the same time he
informed his creditors that he should pay
them in full whenever he was able to do so.
A fortnight ago he redeemed his promise,
sending checks TO the amount of nearly a
thousand dollars to his creditors, hquidating
his Indebtedness, although he had legally
been relieved from doing so. He considered
his moral obligations stronger than any legal
ones. Mr.. Stanwood now lives in New York,
and is deacon in Plymouth church, Brook
lyn. Those are the kind of deacons which
we desire to encourage. The old fellow in
the internal regions would not be likely to
turn his fiery eyeballs towards Brother Stan
wood and remark, "That's the deacon for
me !"-Mdine Farmer.
Farmers usually pay their debts in full.
Cases where they do not are extremely rare,
1t happens more frequently that they are
losers by the failure of others, and often by
those who continue to live in more expen-
sive style than themselves. Though the law
may exempt a man from paying just debt,
his moral obligation to pay it remains the
same as if it were legally collectable. That
any person, whether deacon or not adeacon,
should simply pay just debt when able, not
availing himself of the law TO avoid payment,
ought not to be so uncommon as to call for
such comment

The AduIteratlon of Articles of Food

Ihe AuuiNeEANlOn d 4AEbGteb
There are evils that cannot be suppressed
or even abated by legislation, but the adultera-
ton of articles of food, we believe is not one
of them. We are glad to note that some of
the papers of this state are calling for the en-
actment of law similar to what has been
urged in this department of The PHOENIX.
The agricultural editor of the Freeman says
What 1--WE, the people" want is a law which
shall subject to severe penalties men who sell
as pure, sugar which has terra alba, glucose and
other stuff, spices which contain worthless or
hurtful substances, and so on through the
line and that should work cure. The law
should provide for a suitable chemist, (or as
sign the work to the professor of chemistry
in our state university whose duty should be
to analyze goods sent for that purpose to de-
termine their purity 1t should also make it
a misdemeanor to sell goods so adulterated
except each package containing it be plainly
marked mot pure" or words equivalent, and
the buyer should have his address at the
hands of the person who sold it to him,
whether he be the maker or not. Such laws
are in force in some foreign countries and
work well why not in ours ? Shall our peo-
pie continue to be poisoned or swindled in
what we eat and drink to support life that
some avaricous scoundrel may put money in
his purse We think moi, If the good peo-
pie will look to it and demand protection.
The sale of adulterated articles of food as
pure, if deception is used to effect the sale,
would make the seller liable for damages by
the common law, but that amounts to nothing
without specific penalties and provision for
determining what is adulterated by a compe-
tent state chemist. We advise no hasty or
ill-considered legislation against this evil,
yet we believe something may be done to
abate it. There is not person in the state
who is not to some extent defrauded, if not
poisoned, by the sdulterAted articles which
he buys and consumes
