Burdette The courts in Iowa and Kansas have decided, it is said, that when the state passes prohibition amendment to the constitution it must pay the brew CTS and disti lers for their property and business thus ruined by law. That is right. It is square, honest dealing, and no right minded man, prohibitionist or rumseller, can kick at such a righteous decision. Pay for the breweries and dis tilleries by all means. Then let whisky pay for all the business it has ruined and all the property It has destroyed in this country. That will be square and fair too, and everybody will have both pockets full of money, and Ye can\ell begin all over again on the/ same ola conditions that used to exist when there was no pro- hibitory law and no distllleries and no beer gardens. There's a heap of good justice and sensible law iu the state su- preme courts, after all.

There is nothing more eminently quail fled to produce sociability than pop corn. The American corn pepper stands between many a home and the saloon. Intemper- ance rarely pushes its way into a pleasant and attractive country home. The long winter evenings filled with reading, games, and the ever necessary pop corn, will give the boys "home feeling" that will stay through life, and, aside from its social power, pop corn as a medicine should not be overlooked. Many physicians recom- mend 1t as a. cure for dyspepsia. It is certain that one can eat an immense quan- tity of it without experiencing any ill ef- feet. Served with milk in the place of bread it makes a dish eft for king" 7" The possibilities of pop corn are great Every farmer should aid in developing them.

Work Of ObseryatOries,

Progress of astronomy no longer
depends upon chance observation,
but is now effected by a division of
labor and concentration at certain
points upon some one particular OBJ
ject of research. The leading obser
vatories all work at specialties. AT
Harvard the relative magnitude of
the stars receives clIief attention; at
Princeton, spectroscopy; at Ale
ghany Observatory, the dark part of
the solar spectrum and the effect of
the invisible heat rays on the earth
at the National Observatory, posi-
tons and orbits of satellites; at Gin
cinnati, double stars; at Chicago, the
surface of5upiter; and at Albany and
Yale, the perfecting of maps of the
heavens.

Give the Girls q Business Training.

Burlington Qowa) Gazettel
This is a practical world, and the
demand is for practical men and wo-
men. On this account thorough
business training is the best discipline
which our young can have. Beside,
business affairs offer better opportuni-
ties to ladies' at present than any other
field to which they can turn their at
tention. To those properly trained
for its duties, and possessed of a good
stock of perseverance, a business life
affords the most certain guarantee of
success. To those duly prepared and
who apply themselves diligently, it is
an almost certain path to prosperity.
Why should not our girls, as they
grow up to be women, go into some
regular business, just as the boys do?
is question that is often asked.
There is no good reason why they
should not, at least, have the prepar-
alton for doing something as we'll as
the boys. And what preparation can
young lady have to bring her in har-
monv with and make her as self-reli-
ant as her brother or other young
men, unless it be the same daily
training that they have received the
famil;arlzing of herself with the prin-
ciples and usages of business life. In
other words, if a parent wishes to give
daughter something that will init
ate her into the real economies of
everyday affairs-the actualities OF
business life-that something would
be a business education. Therefore
we say most emphatically to parents:
Train your daughters for business.

heavens.

In an extensive series of expert
ments by Prof. GRADER, insects and
many other invertebrates perceived
odors much more quickly and acutely
than the vertebrates tested birds and
reptiles). The antenne proved to be
not the only organs of smell in insects,
although these appear to be essential
to the perc option of some fine odors.
In some cases the palpi of the mouth
organs are more sensitive than the
antenna, but perception of smell
through the stigmata or respiratory
organs is not rapid nor important.

An Overlooked Material.

A German writer remarks that the
compound known as "zeiodelite," dis
covered by Simon, has not been used
SO much as its peculiar advantages
would seem to suggest. 1t is pre-
pared by mixing 25 to 30 parts of
powdered glass with 20 parts OF
melted sulphur. This may be shaped
into any design; and 1t cools into a
stony hardness, resisting boiling water
and the strongest acids. 1t can be
united at heat of 400 degrees.

LOCO WEED.
A Deadly Poison to Horses-Its Fatal
Effects Due to Parasites in the stalks.

A Deadly Poison to HOrses-Its Fatal
Effects Due to Parasites in the Stalks.
The loco weed, which grows plenti-
fully in ravines and on hillsides and
plains in Colorado, Kansas and New
Mexico, is larel y met with in Nevada.
In the former localities it DESTROYS a
large percentage of the horses run
ming at large on ranges. When horses
once get taste of loco it is alleged
by stock-raisers that they will forsake
bunch grass to feed upon the deadly
weed. Horses that died from eating
it have been opened and the organs
known as the panas and NAV found
completely destroyed by parasite re-
semblinga small worm. Stalks of the
loco weed carefully dissected disclosed
a precisely similar parasite to that
found in the stomachs of horses that
had died from eating it. A locoed
horse exhibits unmistakable symp-
toms of insanity. The reason
assigned for animals first seek
ing the weed is for the purpose of al
laying thirst when feeding at dis
lance from water, the stalk of the weed
containing large quantity of juice
moisture.
Beware! Idaho men. The TIMES
has seen them die.

Of people in this country have been
hacking away with one Of the sharp
edges OF the sword at the Chinese until
those not killed nor MANNED ON the
Pacific coast have been driven into San

with starvation. The government has
failed 10 protect these poor helpless
fugitives, and now the Chinese are
threatening to retaliate by driving ou'
the Americans residing on Chinese
territory. This is the other sharp edge
of the sword, and who will say tina,
the Chinese have not as good o
