Wheat Farming i'm Han sas.


There Is probably no other State in
in the Union that produces wheat at as
little cost as Kansas. 1t is expected that
one man, if he is of any account at all,
can put in and take care of at least one
hundred acres, and indeed of much more.
but no one need be surprised when tell
how he manages it. In central and
western Kansas he plows the ground
once in five or six years. After the crop
is taken off the farmer is ready to put in
wheat again. The soil here is always
loose mellow. and all he has to do is to
go out and drill in his wheat. This is
done year after year without breaking up
the ground. The rule here is to put in
seed at the rate of half bushel per acre.
This seems to be abundant and produces
a heavy stand of wheat the following
harvest. Then the farmers enters The
field with twelve or ftteenfoot header,
drawn by six horses, and reaps sixty
acres per day; four or five wagons with
header-b boxes follow the header machine,
and as each box is filled it is driven 10
to the wheat-ricks and unloaded. Thus
the harvest is laid aside. The largest
acreage of wheat ever known in this
State was put III this year. The last
crop was excellent, and wheat is bring
irg iifty-six cents per bushel

To Remove DandruH.

An occasional shampoo with soap and water or borax and water or some sim pie mixture of that kind once in two or three weeks will often be found ne cessity. A very good shampoo liquid for general use may be made as fol- lows: Carbonate of ammonia, one drachm; carbonate of potassium, one drachm; water, four ounces; tincture of cantharides, one drachm; alcohol, four ounces; rum, one and one-half pints. Dissolve the carbonates in the water; shake well before using, moistening the scalp until a father forms. Wash in cool water and rub dry.
 For permanent removal of dandruff it is better to take borax, half tea spoonful; common sulphur, one heap ing teaspoonful; pour over them one pint of boiling water. When cool pour into bottle; agitate frequently for three CT four days; then strain. Moisten the scalp with this thoroughly three or four times a week. It is one of the most reliable preparations known for per manently removing dandruff. - Good HOusekeeDinU

A Race of Dwarfs.

One of the most striking things to be met with in the earlier pages of Emin Pasha's journal is a reference to a report which is brought to him between Ladc and Dufile, on the Upper Nile, that race of dwarfs inhabit mountain caves to the west of Beden. They were said to be only forty inches high, of brown color and of great agility, to eat white ants and roots, and to shoot with very small arrows, which are poisoned and very difficult to extract. The pigmies he was inclined to regard as the remain der of dwarf population which ages ago spread itself over central Africa.
 Four years later he himself comes upon some specimens of the Akka, a pigmy people, divided into numerous small tribes, who lead a nomadic life in the Monbuttu country. One of these Akka ''had a reddish, but rather dark skin probably dirt, was very preparations, rather swag bellied, but exceedingly nimble. His height was 3 feet 6 inches. His whole body was covered by thick stiff hair, almost like felt, which was especially thick on the breast. A girl fl years of age measured 3 feet 7-9 inch in height! These people are said to be very expert hunters. but also very vindictive, so that the neighboring tribes are glad to let them have all they want for main tenance i'll return for skins and feathers, the products of the chase, which they prosecute with bows and arrows alone. - Chambers Journal

Classified by Shadows,

Amphiscians are the people who in- habit the tropics, whose shadows, m one part of the year, are cast to the north and in the other to the south, according as the sun is north or south of their zenith.
 The Antiscians are the inhabitants of the earth living on different sides of the equator, whose shadows at noon are cast in contrary directions. Those living north of the equator are antiscians to those living south of that line, and vice versa. The shadows on one side are cast toward the north and upon the other toward the north.
 The Ascians are the persons who live in a land where, at certain time of each year, they have no shadows at noon. All the inhabitants of the torrid zone are Ascians, they having vertical sun twice year.
 The Periecians are the inhabitants of the opposite side of the globe in the same parallel of latitude.
 The Pericians are the inhabitants of the polar circle, whose shadows during tNme portions of the summer must, in NN course of the day, move entirely aro~Gd and fall toward every point of the compass. The antipodes are those persons who live on the opposite sides of the globe, and whose feet are directly under the feet e 1aose living on this side.-St. Louis RNkLblic.

FUTURE OF ART IN AMERICA.
Our Possibilities are as Great
 as European Cities.
WEALTH GIVEN TO BUILD MONUMENTS
The Burghers of Medieval, Paris,
 Knew Nothing of Culture.

It is the fashion to believe that art can not thrive in our trading democracy. Our cultured society speak of art with solemnity and awe, as men speak of one that has fought the good fight and who rests from his labors. Indeed we have lately been told by a professor of great distinction that there is no hope here for real literature or art, so hOpelessly vul- gar and sordid is American life. Surely those burghers of medieval Paris knew nothing of culture, and doubtless they were vulgar, but they thoroughly be- heved in their religion, and their vul- garity did not prevent their originating the Gothic cathedrals. Doubtless those Florentine traders were mercenary, but they loved their ci*y with fervor, and gladly gave their wealth to build its public monuments. Neither French man nor Florentine had art critics to tell him his motives, but they applied to their every day work vigor, courage and energy, and without their knowing it their work immortalized them.
 Now why should we not believe in our own possibilities? We have doubt less seen a great deal of ostentation and vulgarity built into more or less perma- nent form, and doubtless we are very far from having produced great works of architecture. Our distance from the great works of antiquity has always per mitted here freedom from authority in art, which, if it frequently leads us into license, presents to us at the same time our unique opportunity. In the best work, influenced as it is by the books and photographs which now familiarize us with all that the world has done be- fore us, there is even now to be seen a reasonable restraint controlling this lib erty. As our national wants are new, and inventions daily increase which rev olutionize the art of construction, it seems to me that the problems will daily be solved in better manner, and we may hope for period of building that will emphasize our good rather than our bad points.
 Why should we not, in looking at such examples as have quoted, insist that there is far from being anything in the existing conditions of American life to hinder the progress of art? Evidences of the reverse exist on every side. While dilettanteism may discourage, for my self have enthusiasm enough left to be- heve that the hope of the future in art, as in many other fields of human en- deavor, lies, as the years go on, with our ambitious, prosperous and apprecia- tive democracy.-RObert s. Peabody in Harper's.

The Snort of Seal Killing.

A gentleman stood in front of a fur rier's store contemplating the seal gar ments that filled the windows.
 q never see a seal coat,'' he said, ''that I am not reminded of heart breaking day I passed among the seal killers
 Then he told of joining an expedition, when he was a young man, and going out for the sport of seal killing. They knocked the pretty creatures on the head. The seals are so tame, affectionate and fearless, that when the hunters landed and came among them they crowded round them like dogs, making their little, friendly bark and fawning upon the mur- derous hands that proceeded to stretch them bloody corpses upon the beach. The man related how sick at heart he got; how he tried to get away from this massacre of the innocents. and to this day a sealskin coat recalled his wretched ex- perience as a murdering criminal among the seals.-.New York Cor.
