ably with the living On these lines
they are luminous but lowly, order of
agnostics They seldom speak of the
dead. In the 200 or 300 gypsy bal ads
/ have collected, there is not line,
sentence or thought, expressing faith
in, or even hope for, reunion with the
dead. Notwithstanding this total abb
sence of belief there is one curious
thing about the gypsy family. Virtue
is cult with all, both male and female,
and lapses from the strictest path of
morality on the part Of young girls are
rewarded with the very severest Of pen

are also models in this respect. When

RIDING an Elephant.

At a word from his ''mahout" "a
Withholding creature who sits between
the elephants ears and pricks him with
an iron statf-he goes down on his
knees, and one climbs ON to his hack as
bes. one can, holding on by his tail with
both hands and trying to get footing
on his slippery quarters. At last one
manages to scramble up, and finds ones
self on q square cushion, almost as slip
perry as the elephants back. The first
time, when the great beast rises on his
forelegs, then ON his hind ones, it is all
one can do to hold by ropes which are
fastened to the sides of the pad; but
practice makes perfect, and in a short
time one learns to adapt ones self to the
curious motion.
4 good small elephant will shuttle
along easily at the rate of five miles an
hour, Climbing steep ravines and other
distinctions, so that therider often finds
himself hanging on in an almost per
pendicular position. No animal is so
sure-footed as an elephant. He will
climb steep banks and slide down into
river beds with as much ease as an
Irish pony, but he particularly objects
to bog. and let no one attempt to ride
him over one, for If he finds himself
sinking in, his first impulse Is to drag
the rider off and put him under his feet
by way of having something to stand on

Brass Buttons in the Regular Army.

The present brass buttons are by no
means the same as those that have been
always worn in the United States army
or the other branches of the service.
Up to 1777 the army buttons were OF
white metal, but in the last mentioned
year Washington ordered that the regu-
lation costume was to consist of "a dark
blue or black coat reaching to the knee,
and full trimmed the lapels fastened
back, with ten open-worked button-holes
in yellow silk on the breast of each lapel
and ten large regimental yellow buttons
at equal distances on each side, three
large yellow regimental buttons on each
cuff, and like number on each pocket
flap. The navy officers were also or
dered to wear yellow buttons, the Off
GERS uniforms, with these buttons, blue
coats with red faeings, red waistcoats
and blue brooches, being a very gay
and attractive affair. On the other
hand, the marine officers wore green
coat with white facings, white breeches
edged with green, white vests, silver
epaulets, black CATERS and white but
tons.
In 1879 the uniform OF the army was
changed again. The coat was ordered
to be blue, the facings white, buff or
red, while the cavalry had white but
tons. In 1882 the infantry also were
put into white buttons, the rest OF the
uniform being of blue ground with red
facings and white Innings In 1896 the
infantry still wore white buttons, with
dark blue coats reaching TO the knee,
and full trimmed, scarlet lapels, cuffs
and standing capes, white trimmings,
white underdress, black stocks and
cooked hats with white binding. A
number Of changes in the uniform Of
the army was made in 1870 by one of
which officers of the general staff wore
cooked hats without feathers, vests aud
breeches or pantaloons, white or buff,
high military boots and gilt spurs, and
singlebreasted blue coats with ten gilt
buttons. When the civil war broke out
in 1861, some of the volunteer troops
were dressed in gray with white but
tons, but as the confederates adopted
the same color for their regulars, the
United States troops were clad in blue
with yellow buttons in much the same
fashion as they wear them to-day. The
regu atoms concerning the arrange
ment or grouping of buttons rs indica-
tions Of rank are, however, of much
more recent date. - San Francisco

Salt Water Good for Men Doing
Hot Work.

Each recurring hot season in a mill
district suggests naturally the subject
Of quality and quantity of the liquid
with which man should allay his thirst
BY the use Of salt, water can be very
much improved as a thirst allayer, and
at the same time be made as healthful
as the costly mineral springs water.
Enough salt in drinking water, to be
perceptible to the taste, removes the
insipiditv, and is not only wholesome
but tends to keep the stomach and
bowels in good order When these
organs are all right, the remainder Of
the man cannot be assailed by the ordi-
nary diseases, inasmuch as good
blood and open pores result.
The fact is that the chief medi-
cal virtues Of nine in ten of the no.
ted mineral springs are due to the salt
contained therein. Saratoga waters,
for which one pays at the rate of dol
lar a gallon at the drug stores, have
from 375 to $40 grains of salt TO the gal
Ion. Other waters vary from 20) to 500
grains. Take this salt out, and these
waters would be little, if any more cur
alive than plain spring water. The
best charge of salt for heath and thirst
satisfaction is probably about $50 grains
to the gallon. This would taste slightly
in the water, but after a few days use
the flavor would not be noticed. But
there is this to recommend the smaller
proportion Of salt $50 grains) of the
prepared drink over the mineral springs
200 to 500 grains the latter must be
taken in limited quantity, while the for
mer may be used without stint, and the
drinker be all the better for it New

j. L. TRowBRIDGE, whose stories for
boys have made him famous, was born
in 1927, in Western New York He
taught himself Latin, French and Ger
man. He writes at the present time
almost wholly for the Youths Com
panio1l, and makes a handsome in
come. He is tall, fresh-looking man,
with a very pleasant face. His hair is
white, but otherwise he does not show
his years. He has never cared for So
ciety, and lives in retirement in Bos-
ton. He has taste for speculation,
but has never INDUCED it to any great
extent.

strangers. Men whom he knows famil-
iarly he slaps OH tho back or lays his arm
bic and sincere. In his attire he is neat
and modest. though he is said to be pos
sessed of an idiosyncrasy in that he
never has his shoes blacked. In his
Prince Albert coat he wears the tri-
colored button of the Loyal Legion.
The two men we zee standing In IA
miliar converse out in the corridor are
also possible speakers of the house. One
10 Joseph g. Cannon, the other David b.
Henderson. Both wear SLOUGH hats, both
arc Grand Army veterans. Cannon looks
like o country deacon or justice of the
peace, Henderson like colonel in the
regular army. Cannon is an ideal de-
batcr and one Of the leaders of his side.
He has unlimited good nature and can
smile and shrug his shoulders whilo re-
ceiving hard blow, and then smile and
smilo whilo giving n harder ono in re-
turn. Ho likes to be in the thickest of
tho fighting, and gives and takes like O
man. Ills hair is thin, and he is begin
ming TO show q bald spot on the poll Of
his head. He has his hands in his pockets
n good deal, and wears n turn down col
lar. Sometimes little dust shows on
his hat, which is cross between mill
tary slouch and q granger kady. Indeed,
Cannon is sometimes mistaken for O
granger by strangers, but he Is ono OF
the Gllarpest and brightest men in con-
gress.
All Of the speakership candidates are
lawyers All have served for q consid-
cradle time in the house. Reed has been
here ten years, Mckinley twelve, Bur-
rows ten, Cannon sixteen and Henderson
six. All but the last named wero born
In this country. Reed and Mckinley
arc natives Of the states which they now
aid in representing.
Cannon was born away down in North
Burrows is a native Of Pennsylvania,
and Henderson OF Scotland. Cannon is
tho oldest, being 90; Reed is 90; Bur-
rows, 81; Mckinley, 40, and Henderson,
49. All are men Of exemplary habits.
Mckinley smokes and chews. but never
drinks, not even ut big dinners. Reed
drinks but sparingly, and his chief
amusement is playing billiards. Cannon
likes to tell stories and dance old fosh-
Toned auadrilles. Henderson is fond of
after dinner speaking, while Burrows
would rather mako stump speech than
cot. Not one Of tho five Is rich. One Of
than will make good speaker.

A WORD to those who are intending
to invest in western farm property will
not be amiss. Kansas has long been
the aim of thousands of homeseekers:
many men have already removed from
the eastern states, and have found
homes in Kansas, and many more are
ready to come, but have been deferred
from coming by unfavorable reports
sent back by their neighbors who have
been in this state but short time, not
long enough to learn that, though we
may have two or three years of partial
crop failures, one year like the present
will make up for lost time. Let such
men take the record of Kansas for a
number of years; let them look at her
cities, her railroads, her schools and
churches; and above all, let them learn
that her soil is so safe that she pro-
duces in one good crop year sufficient
to astonish the world and make her
people happy and prosperous homes.
And, while making an examination of
Kansas as state, let them note the
record of Barton as county, and know
that no man need fear his ability to
succeed in agriculture in this county.
Workers will win anywhere, but they
will win quicker and more satisfactorily
here than in any other part of Kansas

about a week ago say, ''work bears

The Institute and short term of the

date and, "still there's more to follow"

the Grand opera house, July End.
Some of the very best talent of the
city and of the college will be repre-
sented. Tickets on sale at Hume S
opera house block.
Prof. Wright came home Saturday
from Marion. He reports good work
in the Institute there, and although as
large and much older county than
Barton, last Friday the enrolment
of the institute was only 90. Wright
went to Marion in the interest of the
college, and succeeded in getting one
student for the coming year and talked
with many who do not know where
they will go. OF course some of them
will come here.
At the, teachers debating society
Saturday evening, there seemed to be
lack of preparation On the part of
some of the members. Mr.. White,
principal of the schools at Syracuse,
Hamilton county, talked very plainly
to those who did not do their duty.

want to get themselves into trouble
they had better be prepared when
Saturday night comes.
