| in order to watch few unruly red skins.
The small army we are required to keep
| for show or police duty must be housed
at central points. The authorities desire
to place the best Of these stations in
Kansas. When fully equipped this
.meaus the disbursement of two or three
millions year.
With the outcome of this matter which
now promises to be of such great bene
fit to all concerned the people of central
Kansas are especially to be congratu-
lated upon their failures, during the
past twenty years, to have the Fort
Riley military reservation-about 10000
the head of the Kansas river, covering
portions Of the Kansas, Smoky Hill and
Republican valleys and a wonderful va
riety of rolling upland-thrown open to
settlement AS long ago as when Sher-
man assumed command of the army the
effort was beaten by the general on the
ground that Riley was of great impor-
lance to the government. 1t will IN
questionably be Of far greater impor-
lance to the state in the shape it is now
assuming than it could have been made
in any other way.
The Gazette very justly gives large
share of the credit for what has been
accomplished, in the way of securing
liberal appropriations to carry on this
extensive and important undertaking, to
Senator Plumb, who appreciated from
the first the great value it would be not
only to the government, IN having such
an establishment as this is intended to
be, in the very centre of the country,
readily accessible to all points. but also
to this state as indicated. In far-reach-
ing consequences to the people of the state
this post, in this sense, will be tribute
to Senator Plumb's sense and usefulness,
Of course not equal in extent, but as sig
nificant, as the extraordinary interest he
has manifested in the development of
sorghum.
1t is but just to add that IN all these
matters Senator Plumb has been ably
seconded by the entire Kansas delega |
ton.

a dispatch to the New York Tribune
reports that at Franklin, Indiana, recent
ly the body of woman was exhumed
which had been buried twenty-six years
and that it was found with natural ap-
pearance and life-like and recognizable
countenance. This remarkable freak of
nature has but one precedent in history
and that is the case of the Democratic par
ty. 1t has been buried time and again, and
when by chance it is dug up again it
shows no change whatever and is soon
buried again.

Senator Allison says that the tariff bill
which he helped to prepare and report
is going to be pushed this winter. Sen
ator Spooner says it is going to be pushed
through. Major Mckinley says he
thinks the house will have a chance to
shoulder the responsibility of defeating
legislation this winter for the reduction
of the surplus if it has the courage. His
impression is that the bill will go to the
house substantially as reported by the
senate's finance committee. ''The Re-
publican party" he said to Philadel-
phia Press interviewer Wednesday, is
pledged to tariff reform and a reduction
of the surplus, but all this must be ac
complished on the lines Of protection"

1t is stated in the dispatches that the
president of the bank at Columbus. Ind.
that was robbed few days ago, has
just returned from Canada, where he
met the absconding cashier and pro-
cured from HIM $4,000 of the stolen
money by pledging the robber immunity
from all legal proceedings. As a matter
of expediency in the interest Of the
bank, perhaps the arrangement may be
considered as all right, but the moral
effect of it is to put a premium on dis
honesty and should be discountenanced.

The Calumet Hecla mine is reported to
be on fire again, and if this proves very
disastrous and so materially checks the
production of copper, the trust in that
metal may hold out still longer. The
New York Journal of Commerce de-
scribes the working of the present out
rageous corner in these clear terms:
The audacity of the whole enterprise
must strike with establishment those who
are not familiar with the secret financial
history of grand speculations. A French
manufacturer contracts for all OF the
copper produced in the United States at IL
cents and sells ii out to our manufacturers
at 1919 cents, when it can be produced and
laid down in New York at ia cents, and
the consumers in the United States dare
not complain above a whisper for fear they
will be Disseminated against and cat off
altogether from the raw material neces-
sary TO their business! No action of con-
gresS can afford any redress. A repeal of
the duty would produce no effect The
whole world is under contract, and not
thousand pounds of copper can be bought
anywhere except from these greedy hands.
But it would appear from our statement
that the natural law of supply and de-
mand which no action of man can outwit
or resist, Will furnish in the not distant
future all the relief that can be desired

Tunnel Across the Channel.

l was talking to lady France fearer the
other day on this very subject of the
channel tunnel. Such a dreadful thing
as it would have beenp' she said, her
cheek almost blanching at the thought.
For whom?" asked.
why, for England, of course, she an
swered, with q stare.
But why not for France as wellS" said
|. WAS there no danger to France
from us?"
'Oh, l don't care about France. 1t
doesn't matter. Fancy the danger it
would have been. Imagine if the mouth
of the tunnel were left unguarded, and a
horde of Frenchmen came pouring in
upon usl"
But" said ], ''what strikes me as Curl
Gus, what always has seemed odd to me,
is this: Why were the French not afraid
of usg The danger of invasion from us
to them was the same as from them to
u.s." | must say feel rather ashamed
when think of 1.-THE funk we were in
from the tunnel, and the seeming indif-
ference with which $50 far as know the
French people acted. 1t is the same now
in this war scare. France is laughing at
us and asking, What is the matter?" 1t
is a pity England can't discover an Eng
lish Gen. Boulanger to strut up and down,
and wave his sword at France.-London

Speaking of Harriet Hosmer, the cele-
brated sculptor, who in her childhood
lived at Watertown, Mass, an old citizen
of that town, who knew the family well,
says that her mother and sister had died
from consumption, SO her father, who
was physician, determined to give her
all the advantages of an outdoor life.
She was taught to ride and shoot and
climb trees and do everything that boys
do. When she was sent to school she
found it very difficult to bend gracefully
to rules and regulations, and the conse.
quence was that she was twice expelled.
But she was only wild, not vicious, and
finally buckled down to study. At the
age of 10 she developed a decided talent
FOR sculpture, and her father fitted up
studio for her; but it was afterward de-
termined to send her to Rome for study,
and there the high spirited girl worked
hard and soon had pleasant home of her
own New York World.

The way in which people go unbidden
to church weddings is notorious, and
thereby hangs trifling but not unamusing
tale. AT a recent wedding in Arlington
Street church one of the ushers saw
lady come in who was so stylishly dressed
that he Immediately jumped at the conclu-
sion that she must be guest of import
ance. He accordingly offered her his arm
and started down the aisle to escort her
to the seats directly behind those reserved
for the families of the contracting parties.
Just as he neared the slip into which it
was evident he meant to show her the
lady looked up and asked ingenuously:
"Can you tell me whose wedding this
is?''
The usher's eyebrows contracted invol-
unfairly.
Certainly. he answered. 1T is tnat
of Miss Blank and Mr.. That.
Then, being a man of presence of mind,
he kept coolly on down the aisle, turned
and crossed the chancel, brought the lady
up the next aisle, and seated her obscurely
near the door.-Boston Letter.

study Of the Hypnotic state.

II. A. Dichas has made a detailed study
OF the memory in the hypnotic state, and
summarizes his main conclusions some
what as follows: (ll during the hypnotic
sleep the subject remembers the exper-
ieaces of his W. king life as well as of
previous hypnos -; t2l in hypnotism there
Is often an eSait tion of the memory, and
at times chang in its content, leading
to the assumpti of a foreign person
ality; CD the me aory of what has been
going on during hypnosis is usually lost,
1t can often be revived by simple sug-
gestion, and at times the memory of q
suggested hallucination may linger on,
and influence the waking condition; (4)
the operator can at his viii have any of
the acts of the hypnotic state remem-
bered or forgotten by making this part
of the suggestion; (5l suggestion seems to
be largely explicable as unconscious
memory.
DR.. Cybulski has studied the power Of
hypnotic subjects to hypnotic them
selves. He finds that such subjects
strongly imagine for minute or less that
that the operator commands them to 60
to sleep, and the desired result ensues.
Furthermore. if the subject, on going to
sleep imagines himself controlled by y
certain person, then, even though another
sent him to sleep, he will be subject to
the former. and not to the operator.
These observations show the Importance
of the subjective element in the process
of hypnotism, and Indicate the method by
which the subject unconsciously takes
suggestions and acts upon them. DIR.
BerlShan has applied hypnotism to the
amelioration of the hearing of the deaf.
He tested the hearing of nine deaf boys,
and, after hypnotizing them, spoke to
them and had various noises made before
them The hearing of four of them was
found TO be improved, and the improve
hent is reported as still persisting after
eighteen months Science.

1t is pestilent folly for man to build
an ugly house; gloomy house; frown-
ing house; house with few and attenu-
ated windows. His children are to be
reared in the structure he builds. His
rest hours from the turmoil of business
are to be spent there. The quality of the
house is the gauge of the civilization Of
its occupant. The races which are prac-
tically houseless are the most wretched
in the world. Dion Cassius' description
of the ancient Caledonians is suggestive.
They had no towns, no fields or houses;
roamed on the wild and waterless mount
aims and deserts; hid in the mud for days
together with only their heads out of
water. The house makes the man-and
woman. So impressed were the old Hin
docs with this fact that they worshiped
with magnificent rites Visvu Kama, the
Carpenter of the Gods" and he built
wooden structures of imposing charac-
ter and of beautiful design, in which the
fat roof has no place, but in which the
gable is curved line.-St. Paul Pioneer

Ancient and Modern Greece.

The traveller is often rudely shocked by
the contrast between the reality OF the
present and the ideal picture of the an
cient Arcadian life of the rural districts
or the intellectual and artistic life of
Athens But doubtless if we could be
transported back to ancient Greece, we
should find much that would not please
us in the daily life of the people. Men
may say, "'Tis Greece. but living Greece
no more;" it is still an enchanted land for
me. No other civilized country withdraws
the visitor so far from the ordinary rou-
tine of the present; no other land affords
so many suggestions of the life of the an
clients from whom our civilization comes.
am sure that understand Greek art
better because of my life for few weeks
under the Athenian sky. A few days in
Peloponnesus, and few more in Central
Greece, gave me clearer comprehension
of Greek political history. The Homeric
age seems more of a reality after study
of the ruins of Tiryns and Mycen@. The
pastorals of Theocritus have new life and
meaning when the traveller hears the shep-
herds pipe and rustic singers vie in amoe-
bean strains, while he eats bread and milk
from the wooden bowls which his hosts
have carved
A few of the ancient customs survive.
The lover of Homer is delighted to find
that the Greeks still throw back the head
to express dissent or refusal, and that the
trim maid still pours water on the visitors
hands. Some old superstitions have re-
manned, notably that of telling disturb
ing dream to the rising sun, in order that
the threatened i'll may be averted. No
land is more thiclSly peopled with fairies
and every kind of benevolent and malig-
nant spirits than the Greece of today.
Doubtless many of the ecclesiastical Gus.
toms of the present have been nodded
by the superstitions of the past.-Thomas
D. Seymour in Scribner's Magazine.

The attention of experimenters is being
directed to the subject of photography
without lenses, which offers possibilities
yet unknown. The plan yields an i'm
portant advantage in the fact that images
of various sizes may be obtained with a
single apparatus by simply changing the
distance of the camera front from the
plate and varying the opening from one
fiftieth or onc-sixtieth of an inch for
small pictures to one-twenty- of an
inch for large ones. The negatives lack
the sharpness given by lenses. a curious
result of this las boon obtained by Capt.
Colson in copy Of an engraving in which
no trace of lines can be seen without
magnifying glass. A present drawback
to this kind Of photography Is The length
Of exposure necessary, but this will
doubtless soon be shortened. -Arkansaw

A NEW TIME.

A thousand cares and hopes, and fears
Our fathers knew not, touch our souls,
Thoughts turbid current seaward rolls
Its stream Of tears.
Not as of old time, faring free
In joyous robes, is knowledge drest;
But, by its own great load opprest,
Plods heavily.
So grave we grow. we lose in part
The lithesoEse words and thoughts o: old;
Delving too deep for hidden gold
We chill the heart
Yet is spring round us everywhere,
Young lives expand, young thoughts are born
From ruins of dead days outworn
The world grows fair.

The Origin of Pottery Ware.

Every man, no doubt, used his gourd as
a gourd alone. But as time went ON he
began at last, apparently, to employ it as
a model for pottery also In all proba-
bility his earliest lessons in the fictile art
were purely accidental 1t is common
trick with savages to put water to warm
on the camp fire in calabash or gourd
with wet clay smeared over the bottom to
keep it from burning. Whenever the
clay thus employed was fine enough to
form mold and bake hard in shape, it
would cling to the gourd, and be used
time and again in the same way without
renewal till at last it came to be regarded
almost as component part of the com
pound vessel Traces of this stage in the
evolution of pottery still exist III various
outlying corners of the world. Savages
have been noted who smear their dishes
with clay; and bowls may be found in
various museums which still contain more
or less intact the relics of the natural OBJ
ject on which they were modelled. In one
case the thing being imbedded In the clay
bowl is a human skull, presumably an
enemy's.
In most cases, however, the inner gourd
or calabash, in proportion as it was well
coated up to the very top with good
productive layer of clay, would tend to
get burned out Dy the neat OF the f1fe III
the course of tiIne until at last the idea
would arise that the natural form was
nothing more than mere mold or model,
and that the earthenware dish which grew
up around it was the substantive vessel.
AS soon as this stage of pot making was
arrived at, the process of firing would be-
come deliberate, instead of accidental,
and the vessel would only be considered
complete as soon as it had been subjected
to great heat which would effectually
burn out the gourd or calabash imbedded
in the center.-Grant Allen in Popular
Science Monthly.
