LAND MATTERS.
An Interview on an Interesting
 Topic.

In column of Washington gossip to the St. Louis Globe Democrat of re- cent date We find the following in the shape of an interview with R. J, Hart man, chief of the division of accoun S, of the Interior Department, who is now in this city on official business. MT. Hartman says:
 Of the many reforms which have been instituted in the general land office since the advent of the republican administra- ton none will find more favor with set tiers of public lands than the decision of Secretary Noble in regard to the nOn- liability of entry men for moneys paid to registers and receivers of iu,.' iand offices, when for any cause such I.. ys failed to be converted into the ny by those officials. It has been the prac- tice of tce land office heretofore not to complete the titles of entry men to lar ds until the money made in payment had been accounted for to the treasury. The fact that said payment might have been made to a register or receiver, bonded officer of the government has, by some curlons process of reasoning, not been considered sufficient evidence of the sat- isfaction of the demands of the govern ment. The results of this apparently unjust holding has been to place settlers almost wholly at the mercy of unscrup- ulous land agents. There is now pend ing at Tucson, Arizona, case of the government against the bondsmen of Fred Smith, former register and receiver at that place, in which the government is endeavoring to recover from said bondsmen the sum of S35,OO0 collected by Smith from entry men, but for which he had never counted. Under former rulings the entry man in this would have lost his money. Secretary Noble, however, decided that these moneys were public funds within the intent and meaning of the law, that they had been paid in goodsf faith, under provisions of law, and that there were DO loses on the part of the entry men in the premises. The present register and receiver was therefore ordered to allow completion of the entries. The recourse for the gov ernment is to obtain reimbursement from the bondsmen of the delinquent officer.

Didn't Bother Him.

When Sam Jones was preaching in a western town. some time ago. he was annoyed by a young man who was whis- pering to his girl Finally the preacher could stand it no longer so he looked straight at the young man and said
 Il will pause until the young man in the back of the room gets through talk ing.
 The silence was intense. and every eye was on the young man, who was still whispering to his girl He had been so busy that he had not caught the preach CTS cenSure. Mir. Jones repeated his re- mark, and this time the young man heard him Not an instant did he hesi tate. but he immediately tried to square himself While every one was watching him he looked squarely at the preacher and said.
 "Go right ahead, Mir Jones, you are not bothering me. Chicago Special Press Bureau

Use American Terms.

''l am tired of hearing people constant ly use the terms penny and shilling when they mean a cent or 12t cents, said a member of the Patriotic Order Sons of America the other day Ut is unpatriotic. We have no penny or 'shil- ling in our American currency. and Am eric;:n money by American names ought to Ee good enough for anybody.
 "I was at the postoffice not long since, and bought some stamps. l did not have the exact amount of change required, and laid a silver dollar on the little shelf in front of the young lady stamp seller. She looked at the coin a moment and then said: I can't make the change quite If you had some pennies might fix it Have you any pennies?'
 "'No.' said, I have only American money She did not understand me at first. but explained that while had no pennies had some cents, and we made the change all right. I told her thought American nomenclature for coin should be used exclusively under the shadow of the Stars and Stripes. Chicago Times

CnslI WasllinD-

A coal washing plant has been erected at a colliery in TC-.isiiire. Eng. The plant has a capacity of 400 tons per day but has dealt with 5G0 tons by the wet process. The system adopted is carefully sizing the smudge and automatically washing and rewashing after crushing the various sizes The plant is driven by 100 horse power steam engine, and the water used in the process of washing is circulated by of powerful cen trifugal pump, which. when in full work, circulates nearly five tons of water per minute.
 The object in erecting this plant was to produce high class coke out of a mixture of very Girsy hard and soft smudge. The coke produced is of uni form quality, and the ash ill the coke is steadily kept below I per cent. Besides the preparation of the smudge for the coke ovens a quantity O small peat suitable for fuel, is pro, ,ed by the washer.-New York Commercial Adver- tiser

Foolish Martyrs.

There are marytrs and martyrs. Some were wise in the loftiest, some are silly in the most Improvident sense. The word improvident exactly applies to the latter class, since they neglect to provide against threatened dangers. We com mlserate, but We cannot respect them. Among the silliest are marytrs to rheu- matism, who might have prevented daily and nightly recurring torture by the early use of Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters, blood depurent more efficient in removing the virus of this complaint from the circulation than any thus far brought to the notice of the general community and the medical profession. It promotes greater activity of the kid neys, the channel through which blood impurities, productive of rheumatism, gout and dropsy, are principally ex- pelled, and it imparts degree of vigor to digestion and assimilation which has most favorable bearing on the general health. It also remedies biliousness, kidney troubles and malaria.

\ Disease Unaccountably
 Prevalent.

The prevalence of ailments attribut- able to miasmatic poision in the air that people breathe, and the water they drink, is we'll nigh unaccountable. Not alone in pestilential swamps, badly drained suburban districts, and marshes exposed to the suns rays by the receding tide, IS this scourge of humanity found. Even in great cities, healthfully located, skillfully severed; we'll looked after in every respect in sanitary way, we find malaria. Its presence is often enexph- cate; but its attacks are always prevent able. The protector Is Hostetter's Stomach Bitter. The eradicator bears the same name-a name known by thou sands throughout our broad land and elsewhere as a synonym of relief, pre- vention and cures of the insidious dis order in its abominable phases-chills and fever, bilious remittent, dumb ague ane ague cake, as wellas other. Nor is the Bitters less effective for indigestion kidney complaint, billonsness and rheu- matism.

The Home Truth of Foreign
 Proverb.

The Spanish have a proverb-dema- siado espeligroso-'too much is danger ous." If brevity is the soul of wit, this means preat deal. Exeesses and other imprudences ln eating and drinking are productive of one tremendous evil-the progensitor of many others-and these are among the follies to which this pithy saying has direct application. The evil to which we allude is indigestion, to the relief and cure of which Hoststter's Stomach Bitters has contributed more than any medicine which science has given to the American people. This in- vigorating stomache and corrective is the means not only of reforming a dis ordered or enfeebled condition of the digestive organs, but of renewing healthy action of the bowels and the liver. Be- sides tkis, it counteracts tendency or rheumatism and kidney complaint, ex- tripates and prevents malarious disease, 1t is potent restorative of strength which is falling, hastens convalescsnce and mitigates the infirmities of age.

Conjug- al affectlo4, maternlal instinct, are none the less powerful when under the con- trcl of enlightened intelligence. Indeed the highest ideal of devotion IS consls- tent with the highest conditions of cul- ture. and she who knows most of what man knows is certainly better fitted to be his com panion than Is she who only meets his nature on the side of his phy slcial comfort. For women to know how to look pretty. to dress tastfuliy, to preside graciously, to make her house charming ard her home delightful to all who feel its social atmosphere, for her to be interested n her church and her charities, to ike good books to ap- preciate good music-ali lhis Is involved in the highest, if not in the so called higher" education. We mean that al. this keeps in exercise and consequent development the higlest part of her nature.
