son was not named Nothing but ILL
luck followed the unnamed son and he
was looked upon as a Jonah One day
he told his father that his misfortune
was due to the fact that he had no
name. His father, who was about TO
light his pipe with a piece of burning
wood, drew the charred stick across the
boys foot A black mark was left on
the sons moccasin- When the father
saw that he said: You shall be called

TO PTEVENT HOT WINDS.

A farmer writing from a western
county to the Kansas Farmer has the
following to say about hot winds, and
we agree with him in every particular:
/ see some arguments in the papers
in regard to the hot winds of western
Kansas. l have spent five summers
here in Sheridan county, and have had
little experience with the hot winds.
l find that we never have hot winds
unless the prairie is parched and dry,
and the bare ground is far worse than
where it is covered with vegetation. 1t
is the reflection of the sun upon the dry
pr airie that heats the air; the greater
area of parched prairie the greater the
heat, or rather the hotter the wind.
s.How to prevent hot winds is the
point for investigation. | think that
irrigation will do more to prevent the
hot winds than any other thing that can
be done. First, all the higher bottom
land along the streams can be irrigated
by wind-pumps; that is, where the water
can be got from wells in sufficient guam
tity. Then where artesian wells can be
found suitable, we should have them.
Then every citizen that can afford a
good windmill and pump should have a
pond or reservoir, at least seventy five
feet in diameter, to be used for raising
carp and for irrigating a garden. 1t
does not take a large garden for fam
lily if it is planted closely and well
cared for. Where land is well irrigated
it will produce large crop. Of course,
the dryer the season the more water is
needed to raise a good crop. l know
what l am talking about, for l have
built reservoir on the top of the
ground so as to let the water run out
for irrigation after it has become
warmed by the sun. | not only raise
plenty of vegetables and Strawberries
for my family, but have sold quite lot
of Vegetables and berries at Hoxie. Ny
well is 15o feet deep, cylinder is two and
quarter inches, eight inch stroke.
made my pond by first soaking the
ground we'll, then plow the part to be
taken out. After it is we'll plowed, take
a Scraper or slusher and team and
scrape out the loose earth and make the
the bank. Make the team walk the
whole circle of the pond, so as to
tramp or pack the bank. If for fish,
the pond should be dug out about two
feet, and the bank raised about three
feet above the level of the land. and
should be at point above the land to
be irrigated, but there must not be too
much fall or the land will wash too
much. When the pond is finished it
should be well soaked with water, then
tramp the bottom thoroughly with
horses or cattle and pack the inside of the
bank with heavy wooden hammer and If
will hold water all right
1.-The more ponds we have and the
more acres that are irrigated, the more
green vegetation, more evaporation the
less hot Winds

that he was responsible for his masters

Moreover, he promised to procure this

professor
The cobra stone was semi-transpar-
ent water-worn pebble OF Yellowish
color. about the size OF a large pea,
which, in the dark, when previously
warmed, emitted greenish phosphores-

''The mystery is not difficult TO ex-

feed on insects, and seem TO have an

A WONDERFUL RIDE.

From Mendoza to Chilli Through Cspallata

The passage of the Uspallatta is made
most easily during January and Febru-
ary, when the SNOW has disappeared
from the lower mountain slopes and tho
river levels are lowest From April TO
November snow-storms are constantly
met with, the bride paths are slippery
and the discomforts and perils of the
journey are multiplied Mountaineers
and mail-couriers make the passage
even in the most inclement weeks of
winter, travelling On foot over the
Cumbre- The scenery IN the winter
time, when the abysses are ingulfed
with snow and the rugged mountain
walls are incased in ice, must be of un-
rivaled grandeur, but a prudent trav-
eler will be content to make the Jour
ney in midsummer. Even when the
road is dry there is a constant source
of danger, since a mule, with charac-
teristic perversity. persists in travelling
along the-outer edge of the slope on the
edges OF the precipices, and it is un-
safe, as well as useless. to attempt
to make him swerve from his self-regu-
lated course. When the road is coated
over with ice one must be a hardy
mountaineer in order to rise superior
to the perils of preeipitous chasms and
deeply-sunken river bottoms The
sense of loneliness increases. moreover,
when few travellers are on the high
way, and one is confronted with the sol
emn stiffness and gloomy grandeur of
the Andes. In the midsummer the pass
ing of mule trains imparts animation
and variety to the journey. The pictur-
eSque ponchoS-I regret to say that the
native garment has been largelyreplaced
by cheap and inferior European wrap,
an imitation sleeveless shawl-cape-
and the bright fantastic patterns of the
neck-gear worn by the guides andmount-
aineers add welcome touch to the
bar rem edges of bridle-paths. When
fellow-travelers are met it is a
sudden refreshing contact of human
companionship- Smiles and ''buenoS

a Critical Driver says . Word About
Them and Signal Bells.
On several street-car lines in this
town the signal for starting. one bell. ID
the same as that for stopping. In the
same cars is = gong with a clock-face
register. by which the conductor keeps
account of the fares collected BY him.
The fare gong always rings once fore
each passenger, and. as it is located
near the stand occupied by the driver.
it occurred to q reporter the other day
to ask a driver how he distinguished
between the conductors stopping signal
and the ring OF the fare gong.
Why" he replied. as a rule. do not
hear the fare gong at all. My attention
is fixed upon the bell that gives the
sound that L know to be the one that
has 10 do with moving the car"
Then you determine your action &C
cording to the pitch of the bells you
hear?"
Certainly. / know the difference In
quality and the pitch of the tones. and
so do the horses Do yen know, the
horses would never start fror hearing
the ring of the fare gong They know
the starting gong by its tone alone, and
that they obey. 1t takes a good horse
about three days TO get used to the sig
mails, but sometimes we get horses that
run over the streets for three
months before getting accustomed
to the signals of the conductors
Besides them there are horses that do
not seem 20 have the capability Of
learning either the pitch of the bells
or the rhythm in which they are
sounded 1 tell you that horses are
just like human beings They have
different capacities, and if they are not
naturally musical they drag along
month after month, pulling the cars,
and starting when they should not and
stopping when they should 60 forward.
and never dropping into any under

all comes down to a musical appre-

THE SOLAR CORONA.
New Theory of Its Character Which
Seems Capable of Demonstration

New Theory of Its Character Which
Seems Capable of Demonstration
The observations made by Prof.
Schaeberle. of the Lick Observatory. in
connection with the eclipse of ulast De-
cember, has led him to PROFOUND an en-
tirely new theory OF the solar corona.
According to his observations the corona
is caused by light emitted and reflected
from streams OF matter elected from the
sun by forces which in general act
along lines normal to the surface.
These forces are more active near the
center of each sun spot zone, and owing
to the change of the position of the OBJ
server with reference to the plane OF
the suns equator, the perspective over
tapping and interlacing OF the two sets
of streamers at these zones causes the
observed apparent change in the type
of the corona
Having had this idea suggested to
him in the course of his Investigations,
Prof Schaeberle has lit upon mode
of mechanically demonstrating it Har-
ing stuck a mum Der of needles in a ball
to represent the streams of matter, he
placed the model in a beam of parallel
rays and allowed its shadow to fall upon
a screen, the result being that indefi-
mite variety of forms similar to the
coronal structure, can be produced by
simply revolving the model Whether
the forms that are seen according as
the observer is above. below or in the
plane of the suns equator. agree with
those that should be seen, has yet to be
proved but if there is such agreement
it will go far in the direction of confirm
ing this novel view of the suns corona

ECONOMICAL LIVING.

the Top OF the Ladder.
One of the subjects talked and written
about good deal at the present time
is how to live cheaply. Prices of all
the great staples are high. Rents are
enormous Fashions are exacting.
Wants multiply while resources dimin-
ish. How to make strap and buckle
meet is the problem which presses on
hundreds of housekeepers. 1t is what
is done to.keep up appearances that de-
stroys the equilibrium between outgo
and income, and make life a drudgery
and vexation. How to live cheaply is a
question easy to answer if one will be
content with cheap living.
Substitute comfort for show
Put convenience in the place of
fashion. Study simplicity. Refuse to be
beguiled into a style of living above
what is required by your position in
society and is justified by your re-
sources. Set a fashion of simplicity,
neatness, prudence and inexpensive
ness, which others will be glad to fol-
low, and thank you for Introducing.
Teach yourself to do without thou
sand and one pretty and showy things
which wealthy people purchase, and
pride yourself on being just as happy
without them as your rich neigh bors
are with them. Put so much dignity,
sincerity, kindness, virtue and love into
your simple and inexpensive homo

and be happier in the coy and COM
| Portable apartments than most of their
wealthy neighbors are in their splendid
establishments Itdoes not follow that
in order to live cheaply one must live
meanly. The best comforts of life are
not costly. Taste, refinement good
cheer, wit, and even elegance. are not
expensive. There is no trouble about
young people marrying with no out
| fit but health and love and
an honest purpose, provided
they will practice the thrift and
prudence to which their grandparents
| owed all their success. and make their
thought and love supply what they lack
in the means of display. Those who

| generally tumble of. while those who
begin at the foot acquire steadiness,
courage and strength of arm and will -
they rise.-Boston Budget
