SILK LORE.

The silk worms / placed out in the
garden are just as happy as some wild
birds were that liberated when boy:
they delight in their freedom. The eX-
ercise they get develops their muscular
system enabling them tothrow off disease,
and gives greater strength and elasticity
to the silk. This new departure in silk
culture looks very promising. There are
valuable lessons to be learned by it if it
should prove unsuccessful. | see moth

HARRIsONs MISTAKE.

The more the EAGLE considers its eN-
preston of the other day, that
a Ahssourian stood between the Kan
sas soldier and the pension bu-
reau. the more are we dissatisfied
with the removal of Tanner 1t is not
that we care so much for Tanner as we
dispise the influences which caused his
removal. We don't know that there is
any political sense III choosing a cabinet
officer from old Bourbondom instead
of from royal, loyal progressive
Republican Kansas in the first place.
while we are satisfied that the bankers
who hold the sixty-three millions of sur
plus, for which they pay no interest.
Were undoubtedly at the bottom of Tan
ner's removal. THESE were the men
who brought on the pressure. 1t IS said
that Tanner talked too much. We are
not aware that he talked
more than was promised in the Harri-
son campaign. Upon the whole
we cannot endorse the removal of Tan
her for any reason vet given, and the
Missouri secretary will cost the Republi-
can party hundreds of thousands of
votes.
Another point that the Republican
party and the administration Will soon
be made 10 realize, and that is. that il
Will make no difference how good a
place may now be given the loyal, leg
less Tanner, every applicant for q pen
sion hereafter, every applicant for read
5ustment or arrearaCeS, who fails, or
who Is denied, viii declare TO his soldier
comrades that had Jim Tanner not been
turned out he would not have been de-
MED his rights. would not have been re-
fused the pittance which a wealthy and
powerful government honestly owed hum
for valuable service in lie times of peril.

s'But the city vanished only to give
place to another isle, where the most
beautiful forms of foliage appeared,
imaging paradise in the distant and
purified air.
1.-The SIM, wearied of the elemental
commotion, sank behind the green plains
of the west. The great eye in heaven,
however. went down without Q dark
brow hanging over its departing light.
The rich flush of unearthly light had
prssed and the rain had ceased; when
the solemn church bells pealed. the
laughter of children out and joyous af-
ter the storm is heard with the carol OF
birds, while the forked and purple weap-
on of the skies still darted illumination
around the Startling college, trying 10 RI
val its angles and leap into its dark
windows"
In addition to the sobriquet of ''Sun-
set" Mr.. Cox was for a short time
known in Washington as ''Shoo Fly, >
because of tilt with General Benjamin
T. Butler in the house of representatives.
Butler had charge of bill on the floor
of the house. He had yielded part of
his time to the opponents of the measure,
among whom was Mr.. Cox. Before
calling for a vote he rose to reply to his
critics, taking them up one after another
and devoting a few words to each.
When he came to Dir. Cox he spoke
about these words: And now, Mr.
Speaker, as to the criticism of the gentle
man from New York (Mr. Cox. my an
swer shall be very brief. 1t is sung by
the chambermaids in the hotel: it is
whistled by the bootblacks on the streets;
it is in everybody's mouth:
''Shoo fly, don't bodder me-"
Butler, suiting the action to the word,
brushed his right hand toward his head,
as if at fly, and took his seat. The
house roared with laughter. and it was
several minutes before order was re-
stored.
Mr.. Cox soon afterward made an at
tempt to ''get even" with Butler for the
above. He was making speech and he
referred to some gentleman from Mas
sachusetts." Butler jumped up and
asked if reference was intended for
him. ''No, sir" said AIr. Cox, Il said
the honorable gentleman from Massa-
chusett5."

AN OUTING IN THE SIERRA MADREs

The frightening shade of mountain high,
The purpling streaks in western sky,
Ike twlnkling star with Frightening eye,
The trill of bird, the Zephyr;s sigh,
The cricket's chirp, tho plaintiye cry
OF whippoorwil heard far and nigh,
Proclaim the day lain down TO die.
Far from the busy haunts of men,
Camped IN wild, sequestered glen,
Where SecO 8 stream by rock and fen
In murmuriIfg accents rings OF when
Those frowning hills and cave and den
With echoes rang, time and again,
OF dusky malden'S song, Ken
With kindred souls on pleasure bent,
Around the fire we sit content
While fragrant wreaths are upward sent,
On toxic solaces ee Oh intent
With song and story hours are spent
Till all at length within the tent.
Repose til night with morn is bient,
Then. ere the sunbeams touch the tips
OF Nadre's crests or kiss the lips
OF Seco's canyon, cheering nlpS
CT rare Old Java, nectar drips.
From trimming cups we quaf In sips
That brace our nerves. while generous slips
or sold things case hunSer's grips.
And then with line and fly and reel
Each sallieS forth 10 Ill his creel
And silent in the shadows steal,
While DER the pools we cast and deal
The silver line out Til we feel
The qnivering sIrain, ana then with zeal
We play the prize 20 where we kneel.
Thus speed the morning hours away.
Thrilled with the sport we fam would stay
Til nights dark shadows end the day;
But hunger brooks 10 long delay,
So soon we campward wend our way.
Then to our chef the catch display
And al his feet our trophies lay.
The summer afternoon in ease
Is spent as each himself may please.
In hammock swung beneath the trees
One listens TO the hum of bees.
One jots page ef what he sees,
While | sit whistling for a breeze,
TIL each one shouts, Oh, what a tease.
Then. when the lengthsning shadows creep
With steaithy steps per vale and steep,
And cooling Zephyrs past on sweep,
We scale the CreSts to take peep
While Sol his form leaves in the deep,
Then wells his face as If TO sleep
Where heavenly guards their vigils keep.
Sweet. restful days, how swift they fee,
With pleasure laden rich they be.
g it'll busy cares their memory
Shall sWeeten toll for you and me
Until once more our coterie
Snail seek again by stream and sea
Fair natures healthful sympathy,

1t was favorite idea of the late Prof.
Foster, of Chicago, that strong under
ground rivers flow across the plains
from west TO the east. Having their
sources in the mountains, these rivers
would be constant, and could be de-
pended upon to furnish any amount of
water that might be desired. The pro-
fessor even believed that the great lakes
We're fed by the underground rivers
from the mountains. 1t is well estab-
lished fact that there Is a wealth of
water under all these western states.
If the cost of getting it out is not too
great it is possible that irrigation from
wells may be the salvation of the dry
corner of Kansas. unless the theory OF
Judge Gregory, of Garden City, of draw
ing a supply of water TO the surface
from the underground reservoir by
means of lateral tubing, shall be demon
strated to be practicable. Scientific re-
search and the ingenuity of man viii
solve the problem of an adequate water
supply for all purposes, and it will de
veiop as the necessities OF the human
race shall require.

PRESIDENT HARRISON says nothing in
his inaugural address that is new or SEN
sationa. He reaffirms his protectionist
principles, he tells European powers that
they must not establish any more Ameri-
can colonies and that our coaling
station rights in Samoa must be
respected. He asserts that congress has
authority to say how congressional cleo
tions shall be conducted. Regarding the
territories he said: alt is a subject of CON
graduation that there is near prospect
of admission into the Union of Dakota,
Montana and Washington territories.
This act Of justice has been unusually
delayed in the case of some of them.
The people who settled these territories
are intelligent, enterprising and patriotic,
and the accession Of these northwestern
states will add strength to the Nation. 1t
is due to the settlers in the territories
who have availed themselves of the invi-
tation Of our land laws to make homes
upon the public domain that their titles
should be speedily adjusted and their
