Volcano Victims.

The governor of the Ouch East IN
dies telegraphs that the town of Tel
kofelong was probably totally de-
stroyed by the recent volcanic eruption
The district in which this town is
situated is entirely inaccessible, as all
roads are obliterated, Nothing can be
heard from Lampong, on the southern
coast of Summarize. Some of the light
houses in the straits are standing, but
the lights are extinct. The report of
the destruction of Tjiriringe by a tidal
wave and the drowning Of 10, 900 peo-
pie there is confirmed.

The largest yield or spring wheat
yet heard from was piece of French
Imperial on the farm Of G. H. Chad
burn, two miles east of town, that
yielded 460 bushels from thirteen acres,
or thirty-tive and one-half bushels pei

wheat called the Siberian yielded
thirty-three and 0ne-half bushels, and
oats fifty-tive bushels per acre. The

To THE EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE


Charles Wintermute one of the old
settlers of Stevens County and owner
of one of the finest farms in this re-
gion, of 400 acres five miles north of
town is home on visit from the Black
Hills where he is engaged in the mer-
camille business. The writer has
known Charles from his boyhood and
while on visit there he was shown
three silk quilts of exquisite wrought
needle work. The first that was pre-
sented was recently completed by Mrs.
Phoebe Terwilliger, a lady of 73 years
all her own work, it contained 1872
blocks, each block 20 pieces, making a
total of 1923 pieces, all of various
shades of choicest silk. The next
quilt presented was "dazzling to be-
hold" 1t capped the climax, both in
the selection of the quality of silk, the
different shades, designs of the blocks
and needle work that we ever beheld.
Each block is of an entirely different
pattern, and upon each block is work
ed different designs, which are entire
ly beyond our ability to describe.
Upon one is the Lilly of the Valley, in
a corner block is cross which the
hand of the artist with brush could
not surpass. This "beauty" was made
by Mr.. Wintermutes' married sister,
who resides at their old home in
Horseheads, Chemung Co. N. Y.
from which place Mr.. w. recently re-
turned from visit. The third quilt
was of smaller dimensions. This
quilt was made by Mr.. Wintermutes,
mother who is over eighty years old.

The Chicago Tribune is advising
that the common schools of the coun-
try be supported by the general gov
erment, because the south is so poor
that it cannot without considerable
taxation cope with the illiteracy in
that section. The Chicago News says
that this is bad for the south, but as
the north does not yet carry out it's
systems without considerable taxa
tion, is that reason why it's taxation
should be increased to build up sys-
tenn i'll region where few years ago
1t was a crime to teach a child to read
and write? The trouble with the
south is that for too many years edu-
cation was regarded as luxury while
at the north it was held as necessity.
If let alone the south can educate it's
masses as the north did, by patient
and persistent effort. If it costs them
something they will appreciate it.
Farmers in Brown county, says the
Herald, who had their crops destroy
ed by hail, and who held policies. in
suring their, crops against damage
from that element, claim that they do
not realize anything from it. After
the numerous deductions for the sup
posed loss of wind and rain, ETC., they
realize about enough from the policy
to pay the first of the notes which
they gave for it.

Bismarck and the Porker,

On prairie corn, the pride of Illinois,
The hog grew fat, and grunted forth his joy,
Dreaming of days when 1e and such as he
Should travel far across the salty sea
In foreign lands he meant awhile to roam,
Selecting Deutschland as his future home:
There, cooked with fragrant herbs, and served
with wine,
He would displace the scrawny native swine
He meant N time to grace sumptuous board
Perhaps the table of the empires lord,
And hoped, although the notion made him
vince,
He might repair the tissues of a Prince.
Bismarck, the mighty. noting from afar
The hogs increase, proclaimed porcine war
Declaring, with deep draughts of RhenIsh wine,
Eternal enmity to the Yankee swine.
The hog, whose ticket for the trip was bought
Then ceased to grunt, absorbed in serious
thought,
~ fear" he said, ''this action may delay.
My journey Europeward, perhaps day.
Bismarck, surrounded by the best of cheer,
Drank down great fiagons of Bayarian beer.
OF one dish only did his Highness eat,
And loudly praised the rich and tender meet
He called the cook, who quickly reached his
side
whence comes this splendid porlz?'' the Chan
cellor cried.
From your estate, my master dear and dread,
On oaken chips and shayings duly fed"
81 had not thought" the powerful Prince de-
clared
THAT hogs of mine SC daintily had Jared,
For me let such porker daily squeal,
And give me meat ike this at every meal"
The Yankee pork before him swelled with
pride;
For very joy it could have sobbed and cried,
AS with Western twang it whispered clear
''All right proud Chancellor, you see IN here"

Practical Hints About Glasses.

Persons finding their eyes becoming
dry and itching on reading, as well as
those who find it necessary to place an
object nearer than fourteen inches from
their face to read, need spectacles.
Persons under forty years of age should
not wear glasses until the accommodate
ing power of the eyes has been suspend
ed and the exact state of refraction de.
termined by competent opthalmic sur.
geon.
The spectacle glasses sold by peddlers
and by jewelers. generally are hurtful to
the eyes of those who read much, as the
lenses are made of inferior sheet glass
and are not symmetrically ground.
No matter how perfectly the lenses
may be made, unless they are mounted
in a suitable frame and properly placed
before the eve, discomfort will arise
from their prolonged use.
There are three systems of grading
spectacle lenses, the English, the me-
the, and the Prussian. Those made to
Sapply the demands of the trade in this
country are carelessly made, and are
poor limitations of either the English OF
the metrical system. The metrical scale
iaS no EilSliSn equsaIeut, Is not Sraueo
BY any uniform rule of dividing the in
ter focal spaces, and is therefore insult
ed to the exacting demands of science.
Persons holding objects too near the
face endanger the safety of their eyes
and incur the risk of becoming near
sighted.
The near-sighted eye is an unsound
eve. and should be fully corrected with a
glass, Notwithstanding the fact it may
need no aid for reading.
The proper time to begin wearing
glasses is just as soon as the eyes tire
on being subjected to prolonged use.-

A Brave Little Girl.

According to the story of Florentine
Labros, of Franklin Co., Mo-, she was
coming home with her brothers Charles
and Frank the other afternoon, when
Charles, angry because his brother had
excelled him at a school exhibition,
picked up club and knocked him
senseless. After time he recovered,
but was unable to proceed home Char
ley left his brother in the woods, and
Florentine, taking her dinner-bucket tc
the creek, secured the sufferer drink
and cooled his brow with her wet apron.
This refreshed him, and he was able to
reach the bank of the creek 1t was
growing dark rapidly. The creek had
to be crossed on a log. Taking his sis
ter's advice, he attempted to crawl
across on his hands and knees. Mid.
way of the stream the boy lost his bal
ance and tumbled into the water. He
seized some bushes and succeeded in
keeping his head above water until the
brave little girl waded in and dragged
his half-lifeless form to shore. He was
benumbed and could hardly speak.
Hope for some improvement made the
girl cling to him hour after hour through
the long night. Stripping herself OF
wraps she folded them about her brother
and waited until morning, and then ran
home for assistance. While she was alb
sent his body was discovered.
