Nicotine In Tobacco.

A congress was recently held in Paris
TO protest against the abuse of tobacco,
says the Phar maceutical Era. Ex-
planning why the German smokes more
than the Frenchman, yet poisons him.
self less, NJ. Ortolan said that the per-
centage of nicotine in tobacco is less
when the stalks grow close together
and when the leaves are numerous and
placed low on the stalk; hence i'm
Germany, where tobacco growing is un-
restricted. the amount of nicotine is
less than in the French tobacco, where
the industry is regulated by govern
ment and the number of leaves to the
stalk is limited. Frence tobacco con-
tains as much as 6 per cent of nicotine.

Good outs are clean, hard, dry, sweet,
heavy, plump, full of flour, and rattle
like shot. They have Il clean and al
most metallic luster. Each oat in a
well-grown sample is nearly OF the
same size. There are but few small
or imperfect grains. The hard pres
sure of the nail on an oat should leave
little or no mark. The kernel when
pressed between the teeth should clip
rather than tear. The skin should be
thin. The size Of the kernel win be
less in proportion than the skin is
thick. The color of the oats is not
very material, but white oats are
generally thinner in the skin than
black. Again. black oats will grow
on inferior soils. Short, plump oats
are preferable to large, long grains.
Bearded oats must have an excess of
husk. Oats are not necessarily bad be-
cause they are thin-skinned or beard
ed but they must contain a less amount
OF flour per bushel than thin-skinned
oats without boards.

A NEW substitute for tobacco is be-

British herbs-the particular plants are
kept secret-and smokers who have
tried the compound declare it to be de-
liciously fragrant, slightly exhilarating
and withal soothing to the nerves.
Com bined with ordinary tobacco it is
said to make blend as satisfactory as
that of chicory with coffee.

Care of the Hands.

The hands may be kept clean and
soft by washing them in mkewarm
water containing little ammonia or
borax. little oatmeal mixed with
water will whiten them.
When the hands are chapped and
sore. mutton suet is the most healing
of all remedies. Apply as often as
convenient after washing and wiping
the hands thoroughly, and the soreness
will soon disappear. Glycerine is
good for some persons who have
chapped hands and not for others. for
it is irritating to the skin in some
cases. Sunburnt hands may be treated
with lime water or lemon juice. Gloves
save the hands from much wear and
tear and staining, and, II the fingers
are cut of. do not hinder work. A
housekepeeper gives the following re-
cipe Tor preparation TO be used upon
the hands before retiring: One gill Of

Not every one knows how to keep a

pondent OF the Prairie Farmer who has
tried to do the latter thus describes
his experience:
Allow me to make an admission. |
have exchanged u goodly pile of hard
earned sidney dollars for striped and
vanished incubator, filled its secret
chambers with expensive eggs, got up
steam, regulated the regulator, cod
died the thermostat, vigilantly regard
ed the rise and fall of the mercury,
and patiently endured the SCOTS and
gibes of unsympathetic neighbors, for
period of twenty-one long days and
nights, say / have done all of the
above several things; and then, while
darkness o'erspread the land and I'M
feeling men slept, l have done as fol-
lows: Raked those expensive eggs out
of the dark recesses OF that Internal
machine let them fall with dull,
squashy thud into u bucket. stealthily
dug great hole in the earth, and,
with many low but deep imprecations,
poured them into it and piled the soil
upon. and jumped on it.
The failure was probably due to one
of two causes-a defective incubator,
of which there are many on the
market, or to lack of the patience,
watchfulness, and "horse sense" requi-
site for so delicate an operation as
Matching eggs. We have seen many
thousands of thrifty chickens and
ducklings Matched in incubators; but
the result was secured only by unre-
hitting care and attention from start
to finish, and the exercise of an intelli-
gence due to keen observation and
much experimenting. Artificial incu.
baton is business which must be
learned. The mother-heu makes q
business of Matching, and so must man,
if he would succeed in it. For ordinary
farm chicken-raising, the hen is still
the best incubator Examiner.

enough being left to indicate that q crop had
ever been there. A large part of the coun-

plowed. Outbuildings were destroyed, wind
mills wrecked and even the leaves entirely
cut from the trees. Large numbers OF farm
ers have lost their all, and there will proba-
bly, be great suffering unless some measures
are taken to relieve them. Large numbers
of cattle and hogs have been lost. and two

will be sent forward from here and some
will go from Kentucky.

CONFERRINC WITH CaEYENNES
The Sioux Commission Meets tho
Indians at That Agency.
COMPLETE EXPLANATION.
Governor Foster Tells Them OF the
Great Benefits Which They
VIII Derive BY signing
the Bili,
At the Cheyenne River Agency.

CHEYENNE RIVER AGENCY, Oak. (via Fort
Sully, Dak.), July l5.-[Spocial Telegram to
The BEE. The commissioners to-day met
the Indians to the number OF about four hum
dred in council at the pavilion. White
Swan, the head chief at this agency was the
first TO respond to Governor Fosters invita-
tion, and he arose simply to request a full
and complete explanation of the bill again,
that they might retire to their own council
and deliberate upon the matter further.
Governor Foster then gave the most com.
plete and lucid analyzation of the bill IN its
present form which has yet been made ex;
ccpt at Rosebud agency. He began by re-
ferring TO the preference given to this agency
and the size of the reservation set apart ex-
clusively for them and continued in SUBJ
stance as follows:
"By this bill the Cheyenne river Indians
are given more land than they owned before.
If the entire reservation in which you own
an interest should be divided among the In
dians each would receive about 907 acres,
but to divide the present reservation set
apart TO" you each of you would have 012
acres so you now are to receive q larger in-
dividuul amount of land than all the other
Indians. Besides your land III severalty you
will have remaining to you in common about
100000 acres of land on which to Craze
your cattle"
Tne other important features of the
bill were then fully explained. The
schools, tho allotment in severalty, the
prices to be paid for the land,
the terms of sale, the So 100000
deposited, the issue of $1,000 cows and 1000,
bulls for the purposes of stock raising, the.
providing of seeds and implements for farm3
ing, the issue of brood mares to the heads Of
families instead of work oxen, were all
touched upon and made clear. The governor
said that the land to he sold would bring
about SS,00OUO0, leaving to the Indians, after
all expenses were paid, about s., 900, 600 to be.
distributed. The Cheyenne river Indians.
would thus have given to them 912 acres Of
land aud 1888 dollars in money if this treaty
was adopted.
This explanation seemed to be very salts
factory to the Indians and was heard with
close attention. The final was the issuing
of ten head of cattle and some sugar and
coffee with which TO feast and council
1t is said that the mixed bloods are not az.
heartily in favor of the bill as at other agen-
cies, but it can not be definitely ascertained.

Roller Mills swept Awav.

FULLERTON, Neb., July 15.-[Special Tele-
gram to The BEE. The storm of Saturday
did much damage. A number of shade trees
were broken down and the walls of a brick
building in the course of erection were
totally destroyed. The Fullerton roller
mills are complete wreck. A force of men
worked at the mill race Saturday night, but
no special fears were entertained for the
mill till o'clock Sunday afternoon, when
the head gate to the mill race gave way.
Within half an hour from this time the mill
went down. Every available wagon
and dray IN town turned out and most of the
flour and feed was saved. Sunday night the
storage room adjoining the mill was de-
stroycd. The loss is estimated at some SIS, :
600.
The mill property was purchased some
months ago by the firm of Martin Potter 81
Co., of Saint Paul, Neb. They had made ar.
rangements for extensive improvements, and
in fact already commenced the work-among
other things putting in an electric plant to
light the city. A move is on foot among the
citizens to see what can be done to make
good the loss. The Fullerton roller mills
were the main manufacturing interest Of the
town, and the loss will be felt in all parts of
the adjoining country.
