Why Eyes Shine.

Place a child (because the pupil of
children are large), and by preference
a blond, at distance of ten or fifteen
feet from lamp, which is the only
source of light in room, and cause it
to look at some object in the direction
of the lamp, turning the eye you wish
to look at slightly inward toward the
nose. Now, put your own eye close
behind the lamp-flame, with a card be-
tween it and the flame. If you will
then look close by the edge of the
flame covered by the card into the eve
of the child, you will see, instead Of a
perfectly black pupil, a rcddish-yel-
low circle. If the eye happen to be
hypermetrophic, you will be able to
see the red reflex when your own eve
is at some distance to one side of the
flame.
This is the true luminous appear
ance of the eyes of some animals when
they are in comparative obscurity. 1t
is simply the light reflected from the
bottom of their eyes, which is general
ly of Il reddish tinge on account of the
red blood in the vascular layer of the
choroid back of the semi-transparent
retina, and not light that is generated
there at all. This reflection is most
apparent when the animal is in OBJ
scurity, but the observer must be in
the light, and somewhat in the relative
position indicated in the above de-
scribed experiment-that is, the eye of
the observer must be on the same line
with the light and the observed eye.
The eyes of nearly all animals are
hypermetrophic, most of them very
highly SO, SO that they send out the
rays of light which have entered them
in very diverting manner.-POpular

A Fair Offer.

A few days ago a farmer drove up
to the door of a Springwells saloon and
called out to several men standing
around that a neighbor of his living
about four miles away had fallen into
the family well and probably killed
himself.
"Well, what of it?" asked one of the
men.
"Why, | want two or three of you
to ride out with me and help get the
body out. "
''FOr how much?'
You don't pretend to want pay for
such an action as that" gasped the
farmer, but they said they did, and he
entered the saloon to see if the owner
was not more tender hearted.
Il tells you how it yhas--n began
the saloOnist, but he was interrupted
with:
Don't tell me that you won't lend
Il hand in such case rs this,'
Il can't 90, my trent, but tells you
how it vhas. let you drink beer
until you doan' care 2-cents for all der
farmers und all der wells in America,
und den hire poy for 2 shillings to
drive you home. Dot vhas der pest L

because the proper attention has not
been given nor remedies applied. Two
years ago this disease was general, but
now it is confined TO a few flocks
The severity of the winter caused the
loss of a large portion of early pigs,
and they will probably be scarce and
dear. The only disease causing much
loss among hogs during the winter was
cholera. In most instances where this
disease occurred, the cause could be
traced directly to the importation of
carload lots of stock hogs from public
stock yards, or from Iowa, or points in
Missouri. The loss to the farmers of
this state from this cause during the
past winter will aggregate many thou
sand dollars. 1t is safe to say that
every large public stock yard in this
country, and all stock cars that have
been long in use, are more or less in
fected with some disease common to
swine, and the importation of hogs
from these yards and in these cars will
in the large majority of cases bring
contagion. Let the farmers of Kansas
bear this in mind, and not endanger
their own and their neighbors' fortunes
by continuing the practice.
FRUIT.
Some of the latest varieties of peach
trees in southern Kansas will make
fair crop, while in other portions of
the state the buds have been entirely
killed. Indications now point to a fair
crop of apples, plums, cnerries, grapes
and small fruits. Blackberries and
raspberries will hardly have full
crop, but Strawberries promise a large
Weld.

Condition and Acreage Of Winter Wheat, Con-
dition Of Rye, Live Stock and Fruit.
Varieties of wheat best adapted to
the several counties, the proportion of
the crops of wheat and corn of 1888
remaining on hand, as shown by the
last quarterly report of the state board
of agriculture.
WINTER WHEAT.
The conditions were exceedingly ia
vorablc in September and October of
last year to the seeding of winter
wheat and rye. This, together with
the encouragement received by wheat
raisers from the more than average
yields obtained at previous harvests,
induced an increased area.
The southeastern counties Bourbon.
Crawford, Cherokee, Labette, Neosho
and Montgomery-th only section of
the state where the crop was not sue
cessful in 1888, in view of the favor
able conditions at seeding time, put in
"A larger area than was contemplated
earlier in the year, approaching very
nearly the breadth sown in the fall of
1882. The eastern and northern cOun-
ties, which have been gradually re-
ducing the wheat acres from year to
year, put in larger acreage than was
anticipated, although it is still small
decrease. In the wheat belt, and be-
yond it to the west, the increase has
been large, and in view of the success
attained during the past two seasons,
was to be expected. In the western
half of the state, there was an un-
usually heavy rainfall during the
months of September, October and
November, and the wheat plant made
a strong and vigorous growth up to
the first frost. This enabled it better
to withstand the cold weather of De-
cember, January, and February, and
there was but II very slight proper
ton of the area winter killed. AS
compared with the area of 1888, there
has been an increase for the state of IA
per cent making IL breadth of ,S6S, 900.
OF this area, 81, 600 acres are winter
killed, or the unusually small loss from
this cause of but 3 per cent, the larger
proportion of which comes from the
southeastern counties.
The condition of the crop is still
more promising than it was either in
1882 or 1888 Even in the southeast
ern counties, where the largest per
tNhh Va was llOill
cold weather and other unfavorable
conditions, the prospect for an average
crop is now encouraging. There have
been two warm rains during the last
half of March, which extended to all
portions of the state, and these have
revived the plant, and it is now grow
ing rapidly and vigorously. With
ordinarily favorable conditions from
now on there is every probability that
the yield will exceed that of last year.
The condition in the western counties
is more promising than ever has been
had before, and correspondents from
that section report farmers in high
spirits in view of the encouraging
prospects
OF the wheat crop of 1888, there yet
remains i'm the counties in which it
was grown 5000, 600 bushels, or 20 per
cent of the whole. A small proportion
of this will be shipped out as soon as
prices become more satisfactory, but
the great bulk will be retained at
home until at least another crop has

A Veteran.

The memory of a drunken man is
sometimes Strikingly alive. A well
known citizen stood in bar-room at
tempting to induce every one to drink.
Very naturally, his war experience
soon cam up, and with that chest
swell of pride which ever characterzes
the old soldier, he said
Il fought seven battles during the
warand ain t afraid of no man"
Come on and 90 home," remarked
n friend, taking his arm.

DOMESTIC HINTS.

The new glass decoration is pretticr
in tables than in ceilings.
Stuffed alligators with their mouths
open are very cunning ornaments.
The twisted wax candles in sconces
should be of different bright colors.
Beautiful little clocks are in painted
china pallettes on low brass stands.
Pictures should not be hung from
cords or wires. as it spoils their effect.
Spanish I've Is the fashion of the
moment in window shades. 1t is used
with dado of gay tinsel.
Large globe-shaped brass iardin-
ieres with rings for the chains which
they hang by to pass through are
snowy.
1t is fashionable to use Venetian
glassware at the table and not to have
any two tumblers or either of the wine
glasses of the same color.
If poultry is intended to be eaten
cold, stuff it with olives, without re-
moving the stones. The flavor will be
delicious, and, indeed, the odor as
well.
Owls have had their day and pea
cocks are coming in. They can be
seen in brass with their natural tails
spread in a circle behind them, or in

An exchange says that If the pretty
pink ginghams now so much worn by
children, are dipped in water with
enough vinegar in it to give it Il sour
taste, the pink will be brighter than
If rinSed in water alone.
Very pretty mantel lambrequins are
now made for smoking rooms. They
are of dark red felt worked in Russian
embroidery, a smoking cap being the
center ornament, with box on which
'matches" is inscribed under it,
Engravings without showing borders
in plain pine frames look pretty, COW
cred with two or three loose folds of
china silk. which has small rose pat
tern or bouquets on it, Il rosette fas-
tened in each corner of tiny plaque
is an addition.
A correspondent of the n. Y. World
describes home made receiver for
soilcd clothes, which does away with
the unsightly and awkward clothes
basket She thus describes it: "The
foundation is a common flour barrel.
This is covered on the inside with pa
per. The outside is covered with pret-
ty olive cOlorcd cretonne, lowered in
small bright spras s. The cretonne is
laid in boX-plaits, extending from top
to bottom of the barrel. The lid of the
barrel is covered with cretonne and
has a pretty fancy bronzed handle,
shaped like trunk handle, attached
to the middle, by which to lift it.
Around the cover is Il full boX-plating
of cretonne. Any one who wishes to
put additional work upon it can i'm
prove the appearance of the receiver
by arranginga tasty lambrequin of oil
ive-colored felt around the top of the
barrel. This can be embroidered and
pinked around the edges, or cut in
large fancy points and finished with
tassels of worsted in colors to match
those in the cretonne.'
