A Riebteoue Deoiaion

A very sensible decision has Just
been rendered by a New York Judge.
a father instituted babeas corpus
proceedings to recover his daughter
from his mOther-in-law. Inthe hear
ing it was shown that the father had
treated the mother of the child bru-
tally while she lived and was alto
gether an unfit person to have charge
of the child. On the other hand it
was shown that the grandmother was
a very proper person to rear the child.
The referee to whom tho case was
given, reported in favor of CIV
ing the charge of the child to the
father and the lower court confirmed
the report. But the case was appeal
ed and the higher court, instead of
looking at the rights Of the father as
the stupid custom has been since
Adams time, took the ground that
the child's interests must be cared
for and sent her back to her grand
mother. Oh, most righteous Judge!
The time is getting far away in tho
past when wives and children we're
looked upon as chattels belonging to
the husband and Naturalization

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR FARM
ERS.
Secretary 1Iohler Offers Some Ad-
vice to Farmers Who are Short
on Corn.

on Corn.
Secretary Mohler of the agricul-
tural department who has just re-
turned from northwest Kansas had a
good opportunity to meet and talk
with farmers. While questions of
legislation for the relief of farmers is
much talked of, he says that which is
Of most immediate and supreme con
Germ to them Just now is how to bridge
over the coming year. The failure
Of corn and other crops in western
Kansas has rendered the condition of
many farmers very distressing. While
many Kansas farmers were enabled
last year to relieve themselves in a
large measure Of financial obligations
by reason of abundant harvests, yet
it is true that many others, being
forced to sell their corn last winter at
about half the cost Of production, are
now in serious financial straits.
Secretary AEohler has written to the
Kansas Farmer a letter IN which he
gives the farmers some valuable sug-
gestions in which he says:
''First-The crop failures in 1880
and 1881 induced many of our farm
ers to sacrifice their homesteads in
order to get a taste of life on the
Pacific coast. In less than two years,
hearing Of the good crops in Kansas,
some returned, having spent all their
mems in vain attempting to find a
new home. The same people went
around among their old neighbors
anxiously inquiring after some good
farms to rent Suppose Kansas
should give US a succession of good
crop years as she did from 1875 to
1880, and from 1882 to 1886 tin each
five years. what then? I here make
the bold statement make 1t from
personal and practical experience in
Kansas farming for. a period of.eigh-
teen years that every farmer in
Kansas profting by the experience
of the past, with economy and,good
management can pay every dollar of
his mortgage Indebtedness during
the next five years, provided only the
crop years are as good as were the
crop years above referred to. Ger
taialy Kansas will do no worse in the
future than she has done in the past.
A banker in Osborne informed me
last week that a neighbor of mine in
/ Osborne county had paid off $1,000
Of his Indebtedness last year, and he
knew it to be true This man is only
an average farmer, and with the aid
Of a 16-year-old boy does the work.
Other farmers did still better.
Second-No man who is faithfully
and honestly trying to save his home
will be driven from it even though
the interest on mortgages remains
unpaid Of this I am assured by
men who ought to know, and further
more every such man with but few
exceptions will find a way to live
through another year.

a Now Rain scheme.

The rams are promised for the Just
and unjust alike but often both alike
go dry. Senator Farwell, of Illinois,
proposes a scheme for compelling the
atmosphere to drop its moisture. 1t
has long been know that a continued
discharge of artillery is generally,
perhaps always followed by rain.
Senator FarwelI has conceived the
idea of exploding dynamite in the up
per air, above regions that need rain.
He proposes to send up balloons with
25 pound cartridges of dynamite
which is to be exploded by means of
fuses when it reaches the proper alti-
tude. An appropriation of $4,000 is
made in the agricultural bill for ex-
periments. If the thing works and
does not cost more than It comes to-
It will be a great benefit, If it doesn't
work It will be lots Of fun for the
small boy anyhow unless the balloon
should take a tumble, or the fuse go
off too quick, or some other accident
happens.

The Kansas Farmer last week sug-
gested the idea Of a second crop of
corn. 1t says that ground clean
enough for listing could be seeded in
a short time, that two days might be
gained IN termination by soaking the
grain twenty-fOur hours in warm
water before planting, and at least a
partial crop might be made before
the severe frosts which, as a rule, do
not come IN Kansas before the latter
part Of October.

One OF the strangest Of odd occupa-
tons is that of the man who collects
dead mems clothes. He is an old roguf,
who haunts cheap lodging houses
Every morning he takes the newspapers
and reads the death notices. He makes
a memorandum of tho street and num-
Der of each house In which a man has
died. During the day he visits every
house in turn. He rings the bell at
the basement door, represents himself
as an old and decrepit man in great
distress, and il they will kindly give
him some old clothes to wear, If they
have any, which are of no further use.
The people of the house pity him,
think he is an object worthy of charity
and give him some old cast of suit that
had belonged to the dead man. In tho
course Of the day he obtains a large
collection Of old garments, some in
good repair. He thus falls heir TO the
cast off clothes OF n good many dead
men.
He takes them to a second hand
dealer and sells them fora dollar or 80.
They are mended and pressed and
sometimes offered for sale as new. He
continues this occupation day in and
day out, with the obituary columns for
his guide and the second hand dealers
for his goal. He generally arrives soon
after the undertaken. New York Jour

Overlapping is merely an intelligent
adjustment Of pressure on woodcuts-
a pressure adjusted to suit the resist
ance, so that light lines shall have little
and solid surfaces much pressure. So
treated light lines will print sharp and
clear; the compact and closer lines of
middle tints will be smoothly gray, and
the solid portions of the dark shadows
will be full velvety black. The differ
emit degrees Of light and shade in every
woodcut require this graduation of
pressure. The theory seems simple
enough, but putting the theory in prac-
tice is not
Every printing machine is made so
that the pressed and the pressing sur-
faces shall be in exact parallel-so that
pressure shall DO absolutely uniform in
every part, II woodcuts were like the
ordinary toxt types of books and news

their equal resistance to impression,
there would be no need of OVERLAPPING;
no more pressure would be required in

woodcuts arc c-onspicuously unequal
the thin lines, the close lines, the solid
blacks, are i~rregularly combined. Yet
