IRRIGATION IN KANSAS.
An Experiment With the Underfiow Of
Rivers That Promises Great.

An Experiment With the Underfiow Of
Rivers That Promises Great.
Chicago Herald.l
There has been growing upon those who
have studied the plains of Western Kansas
the conviction that the success OF agrlcul-
ture in the western third of the State is be-
yond question a failure unless a more per-
manent water supply can be obtained. A
new theory has been broached, that of irri-
cation by means of the "underfow" in the
river valleys, and it has been tested with
remarkable success. In searching for and
investigating the water sources, it was dis
covered that underneath the great valley of
the Arkansas, and presumably under all the
river valleys of Western Kansas, if not
under the plains, lies hidden vast body OF
water. The possibility of utilizing this as a
source from which to supply the bitches
naturally arose and practical tests have just
been completed that prove the entire reason
ableness of the theory.
The vicinity of Dodge City, about 100
miles from the western line OF the State in
the Arkansas Valley, was selected as the
place for the experiment just completed.
There was opened ditch IA feet wide and
drifting westward up the valley. The river
falls seven feet to the mile, and the ditch
was commenced three feet below the surface
and extended westward on a grade of three
feet to the mile, which soon brought it below
the level of the river bottom.
The ditch was extended until the eIcava-
tlon was found to be II feet deep and feet
below the river bottom. Into the ditch thus
dug Into the solid earth drained the under
flow. So great was the drainage that at the
point of beginning a dam was constructed,
and the amount of water flowing over it was
found to be 80 cubic feet per second.
A ditch was opened easterly along the
higher land at fall of only 7-10 feet per
mile, so that by the time the ditch reaches
point southeast of Dodge City there is a
perpendicular fall possible of nearly or quite
20 feet, with water supply as constant as
the everlasting hills, or at least SO con-
sidered.
The ditch thus far constructed, and which
1t is believed will furnish a permanent sup
ply the year round, as it was completed at
the close of the driest season ever known in
Western Kansas, will irrigate about 25, 900
acres of land, and has been built at cost Of
$50, 900. The proprietors believe that with
their experience they could now do the
same amount of work for at least SIC, 900
less

Beer and Lemonade Mixed In Equal Quanti-
ties One of the Fayorites.
Louisville Courier-Journal.l
Spaniards seldom drink much wine; as for
the women, they never touch it, but quaff
glass after glass of pure spring water during
their meals. Ordinary wine is placed on
the table; when guest is present, sherry or
else manzanilla is served once around. OF
course, these usages only hold good in every
day life; the aristocracy drink French wines
and champagne literally, and the fair sex
partake of them also. Common wines would
be very good if the growers used casks in
stead of putting them into skins, which
always give them a strong taste, even when
bottled afterward.
At o'clock in the afternoon, after his re-
freshing siesta, your Spaniard feels the
want of a cup of chocolate. In some really
old-fashioned families it is pretty substi-
tute for our 8 o'clock teas. The steaming
hot beverage is served in quaint little cups
on lovely Talavera plates; with each cup is
large tumbler of the coolest water, to
"drive the chocolate down." as the natives
say. The water is sweetened with the classic
azucarillo, sort of light cake of sugar.
Light sponge cakes are eaten with the choc-
olate. Water is much used as beverage,
especially in summer time. They cool it in
bottle-shaped jars of porous earthenware
called alcaragas, which render the water as
cool as ice. Spaniards do not use ice except
in cafes at receptions. They do, however,
make most delightful and refreshing bev-
erage with iced lemonade and beer, mixed
in equal quantities. The two ingredients
are poured into a large punch bowl, and q
silver ladle is used to fill the glasses.

tented with his walk in life the remedy was
simple. They no longer troubled him to
continue treading a path which proved q
weariness to the flesh. The pot became his
destination, and he soon ceased TO afford
even a topic for conversation.
This may seem incredible. and yet have
an instance in my minds eye of such an oc-
currence having actually taken place at
Bangala only one year ago. A slave boy
had been permitted to engage himself to
work on the estation of the agent, at Bangala,
of the Belgian trading company. After q
time he absented himself during working
hours, without permission of the agent, who
complained to the boys master, a small
chief in the neighboring village, informing
him at the same time that the boy was
lazy fellow, and not worth much. A day or
two later the chief told the trader. with
evident satisfaction, that the boy would not
trouble him again, for that he had killed
him with a thrust of his spear; and the
white mans horror was increased when on
the following day, the chiefs son, a
youngster of 16 or II years of age, came
staggering into the station with spear and
shield, and nonchalantly remarked "That
slave boy was very good eating-he was
nice and fat

Picture of the Harvard Giant as He Appears
in the Classroom.
Boston Traveller
The athlete in recitation is very anus
ing. When be enters some admirers usual
ly whispers his confidante "look at; isn't he
a dandy?" The athlete always looks too
large for his chair in the classroom. You
wonder why it does not break down. The
book, too, seems all out of place in his big
hands. and pencil looks positively funny
as he handles it. He wears an air of pat
ronage, as if intellectual pursuits were well
in their way and thing to be encouraged,
even interesting on occasions, but Just a
little unworthy a man of muscle.
He likes to stretch out his big limbs, and
watch them in repose, knowing how much
they can DO when occasion requires. The
professor even deers to him little, unable
to refuse his instructive homage to power
even though it be physical. When he
strolls across the yard, men look out of
their win dows after him. He is pointed out
to the young lady visitors, and tie fair
creatures look with awe ON the god-l1ke
being whom they have seen battling in mud
and gore for the honor of Harvard in super
human fashion.
The athlete during his season of activity
does not study much. He has to reserve his
energies lor physical effort. He can neither
smoke nor drink. About all that is left
him is to talk athletics, and for this purpose
he can get plenty of listeners. But when
o'clock il the afternoon comes, then he is in
his element. And from 4 to he tolls away
like young giant.

OLDEST WIDOW IN ENGLAND.

Chat With Mrs. Morfew, Who is Now 104
Years Old, but Hearty Still.
Pail Mall Budget.1
In little tumble-down cottage not far
from the Ham Gate of Richmond Park,
lives the oldest widow in England. She
was born in 1876.
SIS Mrs. Morfew in?" L asked, and
knocked gently at the open door. No an
swer. Thinking that there might be back
room to which the old lady had retired,
knocked again, and again, each time louder
than before. For some time all remained
silent, and then suddenly the heap OF gray
ish clothes on the old tumble-down four
poster began to move, and some one said, in
far-away, unearthly voice, "Eh?" aud
once again, as, somewhat staggered, re-
mained at the door, "Eh?" Then from the
tangled mass there rose small head, with
a widows cap pushed on one ear, with hair
as white as the finest fax, and
with a face of million lines and
