An 9thetiC influence.

From Puck.
"Yes, SIR" he said, ''my grandfather
was very peculiar man. He was ex
tremely sensitive to influences that d.
not generally affect other men. His pc
culiarity was that his Temperament
changed according to the hat he wore
And he wore all kinds of hats"
HE must have been . good many
varieties Of one man." said the listener
HE was. Now, for instance, when
he wore . Derby hat he was merely
commonplace. He behaved himself
like an ordinary man, and had no spec
ial characteristics-DOthing calcul: TED
to attract the attention Of q bulldog, if
may ~ express It,"
"Well, there's nothing peculiar about
that"
mo; but Just listen: When he put
on a slouch hat HE character changed
entirely. He became ruiIianly and dea'
lk.rate, and staggered around like 4
hired bravo or an advance agent out OF
u job. His best friends were afraid ot
him, and he only had to put his som.
brerO on TO keep away the most ener.
getic bill-cOllectOr.
IF were like that I'd have a felt
hat rivetcd to my head" said the Other
man.
'Then, when he put on q cap with =
vizOr he became simply low. He used
to hang around bar-rOOms, although he
was . strict Temperance man, and he
csDnsOrted with car conductors and
statesmen, and that class Of people,"
80 long 40 he didn't associate with
poets it was all right"
He never got 80 low 40 that. But
you ought to have seen him when he
nut . silk hat on. The moment he an
pearc$l on the street in . beaver he look
ed 40 respectable that people used to
come up TO him and ask him to accept
the craftsmanship Of lnass-meetings OF
to serve as director Of charitable assO-
Citations, and on one occasion he was act
ually arrested on suspicion Of being q
bank PRESIDENT
"How il It." inquired the other man,
doubtfully, ''that We have never heard
Of your grsndfather::''
ed was this: He once went out in q silk
bat, cnd = man came along who mis-
took him for the receiver of q savings
Of the unfortunate dep0sitors' money AZ
on the head, and broke down the hat.
1t then resembled the discouraged-look-
tile always worn by inebriates on the
stage: True to his popularity, my
grandfather became at once profoundly
intox icated, althO- gh, az have said, he
never had drank drop in his life, and
he died in fifteen minutes Of delirium

Every Man His Own Stenographe1

Another addition has heen made to
the many scientific wonders Of recent
years. Herr A. Gentilli, of Vienna, has
invented an instrument called by him
the gloseograph- consisting Of an in
genious combination of delicate levers
and blades which placed upon the
tOnKu. and lips and under the nostrils
Of the speaker, are vibrated by the
flowing from the latter. The vibration
0ril'e the several signs produced by the
action Of tongue and fps and the breath
from the nOstrils upon /. strip of paper
moved by mechanical arrangement.
Similar to short.hand, special system
Of writing, which may fifty be termed
glossography, Is produced, based upon
the priciple Of syllable Instruction and
combination of cOilsOnants. 1t 10 cspe-
cialiy suitable for those languages the
orthOgraphy of which differs least from
the phonetic record Of the apparatus. A
wide vista is opened to the instrument
for its practical application in recording
speech. Independently Of the fact that
by ito means we shall he enabled to
write four or five times as quickly as
heretofore by shorthand, the new ap-
paratus requires no preliminary study
and no special practice. 1t IL self.act-
ing in the fullest sense. Moreover, ito
application involves as little fatigue to
the speaker As severe attention on the
part Of the person transcribing. In ~
porting proceedings in Parliament or
courts Of law It il not necessary that the
speaker should use the apparatus him
self. Anybody may articulate it by re-
pt,ating in low voice the words Of a
speaker, which IL sufficient for record
ing the signs. The glossography may
be recommended to those orators whose
efforts to be heard are constantly ignored
by reporters, and who will thus lie en-
abled by simply adjusting the instru-
ment under their nose, to report their
own speeches in spite Of those objeetiou-
able persona. Seriously speaking, how
ever, the gloesograph may play an inn
portant part in telegraphy In the near
future.-Zr0n.

To set the house on fire, the following
excellent rules may be observed:
lst. Rub your furniture with linseed
oil, and preserve carefully the old greasy
rags used for this purpose in paper
box in an ouf-of-tle-way place.
I'd. IL the fire in the stove does not
burn well, pour bcnz;nc or Kerosene on
il from well filed gallon can.
Sd. When you light your cigar or the
gas, throw the burning ma'ch--no mat
ter where. and don't look after il, even
if il gets into the waste-paper basket.
4th. Put burning candle on the
shelf of closet, and forget all about il.
5th. Always read in bed until you fall
asleep, with burning candle near you.
9th. Especially for builders: Put the
ends of the wooden beams into The flue
walls and if you build hot-air furnaces,
be careful to use as much wood as pos
sible in their construction.
9Th. Always buy the cheapest kcro-
senc you can get.

us on the west, SO long will the natural
humidity of the atmosphere be lessened.
A mountain long enough and tall
enough means desert. If a mountain
always. then a desert always. OF
course irrigation may be introduced
and become an important factor, but it
remains so only so long as il is contin-
ned. The basis of Assyrian greatness
was irrigation.
Fhe political ruin Of that vast empire
involved its elaborate system of agri-
culture, and notwithstanding irrigation
had been practiced for centuries, the
country at once lapsed into its normal
condition Of barrenness and sterility
IL ever any general climatic changes oc-
cur in our State it will be effected by
some great organic law wholly outside |
of.any merely human agency.
/ conclude, therefore, that the pres
ent physical phenomena of the plains
and prairies Of Kansas will continue
practically unchanged, and every sue
cossfully organized industry must be
conformed to them.
Here and there among the eastern
counties of Western Kansas, where the
chemical constituents of the soil are
particularly favorable, wheat growing
may be made profitable. Even in such
counties il should be 8 subordinate
crop, and in sll others wholly abandon
ed. Dry winters, late spring frosts,
hot winds, chinch bugs and, occasion
ally, grasshoppers, involve risks which
no prudent farmer will confront. Corn
is i safer crop and its culture may be
I'iEhed further west. The immense
damage done BY chinch bugs the past
seAson emphasizes the Importance of
early planting. Rye is very valuable,
particularly for winter grazing. Oats,
barley and miilet do well In "wet year."

Wheat opened 10 lower than yesterday e

2aic lower for April and $50 for May
than yesterdays close on call.
Cool heads generally think the break

An Opinion that tho Scheme 10 not Prsc-
ticxble.
Sioux Falls Pantagraph.
The matter of admission seems to be
ciphered down, in tue minds OF congress
men, to question Of the population Of
southern Dakota, and the necessities of
the case now presented are such MS per-
tain to getting before congress something
like full count of our people. II that
part OF the territory south of the forty
six parallel could demonstrate its popula-
ton to be 10000, statehood is assured.
The only data so far considered by con-
gressmen. from which to determine the
matter of population now, is the poll-list
of last fall, and deductions made from
that tend to show a population OF only
lO5,0OO at that time, the method being
to multiply the total number OF votes by
five and one-half. But it is a matter
with which of course everybody out here
is acquainted, that elections in odd-num-
bered years attract nothing like general
attention, and that nothing like full
vote is secured. Take the vote OF last
election in Sioux Falls township RS an
example: The total registry was $50
voters, but the total poll was only 377,
Here was falling of more than one.
half. From this it will be seen that the
poll Of an election in an odd year, when
there is no contest over county ticket
or any other question exciting general
interest, furnishes no just data for com.
putting population. 1t is q matter for
surprise that southern Dakota could
show 10000 as its figures resulting from
such figuring.
1t has been suggested that steps be
taken for having count OF noses made
the expense to be borne by private con.
tribution if congress cannot be induced
to provide for it. There is no use il
hoping for anything in this direction, il
seems to Us. Congress will not do any
thing of the sort, and snch count AZ
could be paid for by private subscrip
ton would lack altogether that officia
flavor and aroma of exactness which j,
required to secure its acceptance by con
gressmen-or anybody else. If congress
will not accept such representations a,
have been 80 forcibly and PERSISTENT,
laid before it by Delegate Psttigrew AMI

Washington to assist him, then all W,
can do is to grin and bear it, and val
