A Tennessee War Story.
Cincinnati Gazette.


"1he Tennessee troops" said well
known Cincinnati official who wears the
tri-colored button of the Loyal Legion
"were the butt of much joking among the
Union soldiers on the ground that they'd
never shut door and had misft feet
that would astonish Chicago girl. The
neglect to shut doors was explained by
the Tennesseans on the ground that their
climate is so salubrious that they need nc
doors, except on their smoke houses
They never, however, forgot or forgave a
story prisoner told at Belle Isle about
their big feet. at was at Petersburg
the prisoner said, ''that our brigade met
Tennessee regiment and poured shotin
to them for an hour. We knew we were
doing terrible execution, for we could see
their guns dropping out of their hands.
Somehow or other, we charged and when
we came up to their line we found that
what remained of it were dead men. We
had to knock them over with the butts of
our mnskets, because their big feet
wouldn't let them fall down." It was
mean story, but there was so much
truth in it that it ought to have been
forgiven by the Tennessee people.

NAMES.
KANSAS MUTUAL

In the foregoing comparison it is graft
flying to the people of Kansas that a
home company stands at the head of the
list. AT the beginning of 1889 the mortu-
ary and reserve funds of the Kansas
Mutual amounted to $75,355.94, and
there was not death claim or any other
liability unpaid. It is now plainly evi-
dent that this excellent company is not
only the successful rival of the Old Line
companies, but is fast becoming one of
of the strong institutions of the West.
Prompt payment of death claims, fair
dealings with the public, sound basis
on which to operate, and an able, pro-
gressive and honest management are the
distinguishing characteristics Of the
Kansas Mutual.

The Time for Sowing Tree Seed,
Prairie Farmer

fTalr1e FARMER.
The sowing of any seed is governed by
the season of the ripening of the plant,
its relative hardness, or else, in the
case of perennials, by the nature of the
seed, and its season of ripening. In the
case OF forest trees, as rule, seeds that
ripen early in the season, as in the case of
the cottonwood, some naples. etc.
termination in favorable situation COM
mences almost at once. The late autumn
| ripening varieties hibernate during the
winter in the humus of the forest, and
gerninate, except in rare instances, in the
spring. The great natural planters of
seeds are mice, ground-squirrels, and that
| class of animals which boards stores and
| sometimes does not find them afterwards
A statement, therefore, of the time of ri
pening of some of the more valuable of
forest-tree seeds will give a proper indi-
cation of time of planting.
OF the naples, the seeds of the white
soft maple and those of the red maple
ripen in less than month after the leaves
are fully developed. They should be
gathered and sown Immediately, prefer
ably In seed-beds, where they may be kept
moist, and transplanted the next spring.
The hard naples and the box-elder (Ne.
gnndo 0ceroide) ripen in the autumn.
The chestnuts, buckeyes-allth the nuts and
acorns, in fact ripen in the autumn, and
must be preserved as heretofore stated.
The seeds of the ash (white, black, blue,
green, red, and European) ripen in the
autumn, and if not sown Immediately.
should be kept in sand, and sown early in
the spring. The sand should be only
slightly moist, simply to preserve the nat
ural moisture of the seed. The pine fam
lily proper, as a rule, flower in the spring.
and commonly natures the cones in the
autumn of the next year. The honey
locust, and the common locust, and the
catalpa, npen their seeds in autumn. OF
the birches, the red birch ripens its seed
ID early summer, about June. and the
canoe birch month later. The yellow
birch ripens its seed in October, and the
black or cherry birch in November. The
early-ripening species may have their
seeds sown Immediately, in seed-beds,
kept moist and cool; and the later-ripen-
ing must have their seeds kept in sand un-
til sown. Any of the ordinary forest-tree
seeds may be handled successfully, if the
reader will observe the directions here
given.

The Kansas Mutual Takes the Lead
Topeka Capital Commonwealth

iopeka capital commonwealth.
From advanced sheets of the annual
report OF the superintendent of insurance,
Hon. D. W. Wilder, we gather some in
teresting information. Below we give
the names Of the six life insurance COM
panies doing business in Kansas in 1888
that, according to this report, wrote in
this state during the year over $1,OOO,OOO
of insurance. We make no note of the
twenty-five companies that wrote less
amount.
It will be seen at a glance that the
Kansas Mutual Life, of Hiawatha, Kan
Kansas, leads in number of policies
written, amount of new business secured,
and amount of insurance in force at
the close of the year..

you that our esteemed granger, Morgan,
has hydraulic system of shipping his
milk to the Ellis creamery. Spring creek
flows through his farm, and in this creek
he has reservoir for the purpose of keep
ing his milk cool. Last Friday night he
deposited the cans in the accustomed
place, and went out in the morning to
get his milk for the purpose OF transpor-
tation; but heavy rain had fallen during
the night, and his milk room presented
an appearance somewhat similar to
Johnstown after the dam break. Mr..
Morgan started in search of his milk, and
found the cans lodged in Mike Miller's
corral fence. about four miles from home,
but the milk had gone on to Ellis. Mr..
Morgan says he has sustained greater

Deafness Cant be Cured

By local application, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an intiamed condition of the
mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed You have a
rumoling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t IS entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; nine cases ont of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition OF mucus surfaces.

HASTY LEGISLATION.

We do not propose making sug-
gestions to our Legislators, though
there are several changes in the laws
we should like to see made. But we
wish to endorse a bill, which we think
was introduced at the last session,
and one which has the support of sew
eral of the most prominent senators
and representatives. It is a bill to
limit the introduction of bills to the
18th of December. Then the legis-
lature is to take recess till the 18th
OF January, when the members will
reassemble and legislate on those bills
only. Such law would entirely re-
move any cause for the charge OF hur-
ried legislation. The members would
have the bills to take home with
them, to examine for month, and to
consult with their constituents. We
sincerely hope this bill will become a
law. It is no credit to the State to
have such q rush at the close, and
when the legislature adjourns, nine
out of ten do not know what has been
done.
