An Interesting Experiment.
PLANNING WHEAT GRAINS THAT WERE
5000 YEARS OLD.

A most interesting experiment has
just eliminated. The experimenter is
David Drew, of plymouth, Mass, who
last year received from friend in
Alexandria, Egypt. some grains of
wheat taken from mummy exhumed
near the ruins of Memphis, and belong
ing, it is believed, to the period of the
Ninth Dynasty, which would make it
grown about 5000 B. c., or be nearly
5000 years old. He planted the seed
early in the spring, and carefully nur-
sed it. 1t grew rapidly, and at the
time of cutting measured from six and
a half to seven feet high. The leaves
alternate on the stalk like common
wheat, but the product of the plant is
the most singular part of it. for in.
stead of growing in an ear like modern
corn, there is heavy cluster of small
twigs in place of the pindle, which
hangs downward from its weight, and
each twig is thickly studded with ker.
nels, each of ~hich is in a separate
husk. From what is thrashed a larger
crop will be grown next year.

An authority on laughter says. It
ha' been observed that laughter is in.
dicstive Of a particular temper and
character, according to the sound Of
the vowel that prevails in cachinna-
tion. Persons that laugh in q bread
Latin "a" are open-hearted, honest
people, fond Of noisy jocuhdity, but
perhaps Of voluble mood. Excessive
Jerking laughter, however, is an evi-
dence of vulgarity. Those laughing
in . dry "A' are respectable, but little
expansive, and q hard lot Of people.
When the Latin "E" prevails there
prevails also phlegmatic, melancholy
temper Timorons, unsteady people,
also those imbued with malignity,
laugh in kind of swelling a."
Laughter in CO., ia the utterance of
proud, bold, imperative, somewhat
bantering people. Beware of those
that laugh in 100" (u). They are
traitors, haters, scorners.--Neao York

ing the immigration into this countr,
of Chinese persons has been passed bN
Congress, and is now before the Pres
ident, who will probably sign it nov
that official information Of the rejection
by the Chinese government Of the trea
ty recently proposed, has been received.
Quite a tiutter of excitement wa,
created a few days ago by the announce
ment in the public prints that Assistant
Commissioner Anderson, ofthe Genera
Land Office. had rendered a decision tc
the effect that a Chinaman who in 1887
declared his intention to become a citi
zen of the United States could legally
initiate u homestead entry.
1t is quite certain, however, that what
ever may have been the foundation
upon which the rumor was based, and
whatever may have been the opinion O
the Assistant Commissioner upon the
subject ut the time Of the publication
no such decision vas promulgated, and
that officer is now firmly Of the opinion
that unless q Chinaman can conclusive.
~ show that he had declared his inten.
ton to become q citizen Of the United
states prior to the amendment Of the
naturalization Laws in 1875, he ear
never become qualified to make an en-.
try Of public lands under. any of the
laws where citizenship is a prerequisite.
1t appears that the district land Off.
GERS in one OF the Territories permitted
three Cinnamon, who had filed then
declarations of citizenship in 1883, tc
make a mineral land entry, and the
case came before the Assistant Commits
sloner for consideration. His judgment
was emphaf1cally recorded against the
legality Of such an entry, and an order
of cancellation was made at once; nc
holding for cancellation with privilege
of appeal, was made, but the entry was
ancelled outright, without q word in
the decision about the right of appeal
on the ground that only citizens of the
United States, and those who had legal.
~ declared their Intentions TO become
such, can make entry for mineral lands
and that as the Revised Statutes as
amended by the act Of 1875 excluded
Mongolians from the privilege of be.
coming citizens, the entry was illega'
and utterly void.
Very few Cinnamon lave ever become
citizens Of the United States. ! am in
formed that out of the thousands tina
have come here only sixteen were ever
natura!ized. If this be true, and nc
change occursin our naturalization laws
the public dc ,ain will not be absorbed
TO any great extent by Cinnamon unless
those sixteen prove unusually prolif,

A Good Medicine Which every Family
Should be Provided With.

There is no medicine SO often needed
in every household As a good reliable
liniment such as Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. Hardly a week passes but some
member of the family has need of it
for some ailment. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A touch
Of rheumatism or neuralgia quieted.
The severe pain of II burn or scald
promptly relieved, and the sore healed
in much 'css time than when medicine
has to bo sent for. a Sprain may be
| promptly treated before inflammation
sets in, which insures "a cure ia about
one third Of the time otherwise re-
| CURED. Cuts and bruises should re-
ceive immediate treatment before the
| parts become swollen, which "a only
| be done when the Pain Balm Is kept on

fore il becomes serious. "A trouble
some corn may be removed by apply.
| ing it twice O day for 3 week or two.
Quinsey and glandular swellings may
| be suppressed before matter has begun
TO form in them. Boils are often the
result of an injury and may be prevent
ed by timely treatment. A lame back
may be cured and several days Of valu.
able time saved. A pain in the side or
chest relieved without paying = doctor
bill. When so much pain End suffering
may be saved by the trivial outlay Of
fifty cents, it is certainly surprising that
any family would do without such a
| remedy. The fact is, few Of those who
have used Chamberlain's Pain Balm are
| willing to be without IL.
A Kansas City travelling man says
Chamberlain's Pain Balm enables him
TO earn 81, 200 per year. 1t cured him
Of neuralgia with which he had been an
almost constant sufferer.
A. II. Elliott of South Cedar, Kansas,
says; "Nly father who lives near me
was thrown from a buggy, and nearly
killed, Chamberlain's Pain Balm saved
his life"
Mr.. VIM. Westlake, O prominent
farmer and stock-raiser near Avoca,
Eeb., was SO badly injured by being
thrown from a sulky, that he could not
raise his hand TO his head, by using
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, he entirely
recovered the use Of his arm in two
weeks time, which enabled him to ex.

A Monster Feat In Chicago.

The completion Of the new Jackson
street bridge, and the building Of the
approaches and viaduct, left the en-
trance to the Mccormick manufacturing
offices some six or seven feet below the
sidewalk. The building had to be raised
six feet and five inches, and this eu0r-
nous and PROBABLY unparalleled task is
now being accomplished. The building
was prepared for the work by the re-
moval from the basement of all the ma
chinery, and 800 men began turning the
screws of several thousand jacks, which
were to slowly lift the immense weight
TO the new place. The building Is about
lOOxl25 feet, and six stories high, weigh
ing between 10000 and 10000 tons. The
whole had to be lifted at once, and there
is an average Of three jacks to the foot
under the building. At a given signal
the men turn their jacks a certain dis
lance, and then wait for another whis-
tie. The lift is about a foot a day, but
1t takes a full day to reset The jacks.
The total expense Of the work will be in
the neighborhood Of $4,000. journal
