What is an Inch of Rain!

An inch OF rain is that Quantity
which, falling upon a level surface
and not absorbed or allowed to run
off, would stand one inch in depth.
The amount of water falling hpon an
acre of land when the raintal is one
inch, would astonish any one who
has gwen no thought to the Subject.
On each square foot OF surface there
would be one hundred and forty
tour cubic inches. and on one acre,
which contains $4,000 square feet,
would be 6,272,640 cubic inches,
which, reduced to imperial gallons,
each containing ten pounds aroirdu-
pois. would be 22,623 gallons, weigh
ing 226,230 pounds, something more
than one hundred and thirteen tons
weight to the acre. The snnual av-
erage rainNtall in this Locality approx
mates fifty inches; consequently each
acre receives about 5,6554 tons
weight OF water in a year. This
amount of water would require
train of five hundred and slxty"hVe
freight cars TO carry it. i one had
to water six hundred andtorty acre
farm at this rate, it would re4uire
figures like those of the distance TO
the nearest fixed star.

Homestead Settlers.
From the Mirror.

EIOW tisS LhHFNEs
Senator Call has introduced a bill
for the protection of homestead set,
| tiers on land which have been in
cluGed in railroad grants, etc. The
generosity OF the railroad companies
has hitherto prevented any loss to
the settlers, but some legislation
would seem to be necessary to pres
vent conflicting claims and titles.
In the case Of a person applying
tor an entry of land and paying the
purchase~money and receiving a GER
tifcate OF entry the government has
vested under the decision of the
Supreme Court Il legal right in the
person making the entry. Subse-
quently, under a grant previously
made by Congress, under selection
and an approval 10y the department
subsequently made, patent is,issued,
and under tina. paten. the party in
possession under certificate of entry,
either homestead or other, is turned
out. is deprived Of his right of pos>
session, with nothing but the naked
legal right LETT him. by the action Of
the officers of the government. In a
large proportion of cases these peo-
pie are very poor. They have en-
tered their land while it was a wilder.
ness they have encountered in many
cases the hostile Indians; they have
sacrificed the advantages of society,
OF education for their children, in
order that they may acquire The
homestead which the government
offered and gave to them; but after
this long period of time, after full
compliance with all the acts which
the supreme judicial tribunal has de-
clared TO be necessary to vest the til
tie In them, they have been deprived
OF the labor and the sacrifices OF a
lie time by the act OF the officers of
the government.
In many cases these people are en-
tirely ignorant OF the law Gases
have occurred and are now pending
before the department upon letters
sent to me from Florida by my con-
sutnenls where they had entered
both under the homestead laws and
the laws granting the right OF private
entry upon land, had settled upon it,
received the certificate OF entry, and
had grown orange groves upon ii,
anu within the last one or two years,
under the act OF Congress passed in
1896, granting lands 10 railroad corr
poralions (some in my own state and
IN Alabama) unde: the amp-iand
act passed IN 1850 with It's amend
ments, under selections made within
the last five years, and approved by

Virginia Peanut Rabing.

l was somewhat surprisel to see
good deal of cotton>growhg in Vir>
ginia, between Petersburg md NorA

small in head, but looked hrdy and
plentiful. All around it we're hum
dreds OF acres of harvestedpea nuts,
looking like rows of bee>lives, the
roots pulled out of the grund with
the nuts hanging TO them, nd piled
upon one another to the eight of
about three feet, so as to dy. These
peanuts the NirginiansdAset know
what to do with, nor what Us done
with them. 1t is their beIief that
nearly all go west, and are eaten
roasted or made into peanut candy.
When told that probably a large
portion of them goes into sweet oil
as a substitute for olive oil, they ex-
press no opinion. was told by a
peanut grower that it is now one Of
the very best crops III Virginia, pro-
ducing more busnels to the acre than
the same ground will produce Of
corn, and bring at least three times
as much as corn per bushel. Corn
seldom goes to 81 cents, while the
peanuts stand at about s., and are
expected to go TO SO this year. They
have to be hoed several tunes, and
plowed Trough several times, and
are improved by being manfred.

AFOrtune I'm a Bedstead.

A young 81. Louis housekeeper, who
had read in Paris letter that four
posted bedsteads were again in fashion,
started in search of one of them the
other day. She finally fornd what she
desired In the house and under the
person of a sick Hungarian, whose wife
was painfully supporting him by sew
ing, and who valued 1t as au heirloom
but was willing TO supply his nScees-
stiles by selling 1t. The next day she
took dealer 10 fix the price, and, hav-
ing been purchased for liberal sum
it was sent to his shops to be fitted
with new ropes. 1t was, in fact, q
mahogany four.poster of admirable
workmanship, and the dealer was ex-
amininK the carvings with delight
when he accidently pressed upon q
carved rose which yielded and dis
closed secret receptacle in which was
wedged leather bag, containing
Italian coins worth several thousand
dollars. The money was promptly
handed to the poor Hungarians, whose
amazement was so great that in all
probability they have not yet recovered

high Prices

Don't always procure the best goods,
although we know that all thinking
people will agree with us when we tell
them that there can be vast difference
In the production Of the same things.
Mullin & Son claim to be able to sell
their goods at the very lowest price for
which they can be produced, and
at very much lower prices than the
same kinds Of goods are sold in other
places. Why? Becau5e they believe
In the old saying that mans eye can
do more than his two hands, or that a
man who would thrive "must either
plow or drive" Hence they are right
at the very front In their business all
the time. They buy all ther goods with
the ready cash, thereby making big
saving In the very start. They pur-
chase In quantities, 30 that they only
use what Is needed for each garment.
They are busy all the time, being con-
Stantly employed getting mp fine
clothing for the people. Just now they
are offering a very full assortment of
suits and overcoats for men and boys.
Newest styles, latest cut, at prices that

HOW 20 Become lEICn suddenly.

In the quiet hours of reflection when
a man sits down and reflects upon the
seemingly uneven distribution Of
wealth In this country, and even all
countries, 1t causes a dismal attack of
blues to pervade the epigastrium Of one
who is ignorant where the supply of
food for himself and family is to come
from for the morrow. He thinks over
the millions accredited to Vanderbilt,
Gould, Keene, Stewart, Wanamaker,
Lorillard and many others whose names
are as familiar as household words. He
sighs for sudden wealth, and in his de-
spair often would stop at no extremity,
however desperate, to have even the
title of riches the more fortunate seem
10 despise. He Overlooks entirely q
fact made known to everybody for
years through the press that The Lou.

after q few preliminary remarks re-
ferred to the career of the "New Con.

speaker got terribly mixed on the
date OF election day and persisted in
saying that it would occur on the Sd

Democratic party and an overwhelm-
ing defeat for the Republicans.
II the former wins the latter will not
reappear for twenty years, but If the
Republicans win they will do some
thing within two years that will dis.
gust the people. The speaker spoke of
the old State debt having been nearly
obliterated, discussed ut length the
assessment laws and closed his remarks
by saying that he had always been
Democrat and would always stick up
for the principles of Democracy in
spite of any one. Ignatius @. Grubb,
