The Agricultural department has
reached the conclusion that arid
lands do not need irrigation be-
cause crops have been made to
grow at certain place in Kansas
by thoroughly pulyerlzing the
ground and mulchiag it with straw
At the place where this experiment
was tried the average precipitation
is about 20 inches. Why not form
a basis from experiments on land
where the average precipitation is
not over to 5 inches2 If such
reports as the one made by the
Agricultural Department are fol-
lowed and settlements made under
them, dire results will follow.
Let some experiments be made in
Nevada, where the soil is the rich
est in the world, and see what can
be done without water, and what
with it.-Lyon County Times.

AlCER AND BLAINE.

The latest political gossip is that
Gen. Alger is training to help
Blaine beat Harrison for the Presi-
Dental nomination.
This is probably some story con-
cocted and circulated by Blsine's
friends. Blaine, beaten in one
campaign, can hardly have the
cheek to ask tor another opportun-
ity of leading the party irte the
ditch OF defeat. Blaine has many
bitter enemies in public life, and
thousands of Republican voters
cannot be whipped into line because
they doubt tue honesty of his past
public lite.
1t is another proposition with
Alger. He would, il nominated,
60 into the campaign with charac-
ter above reproach. He is 4 strong
silver man, and silver will be very
prominent issue.
With Alger heading the ticket
and either of our Nevada Senators
on the second pace, the silver ad-
vocates, who comprise nearly all
the Democratic party also, could
wage fight that would result in
victory, free coinage and the West
on top.

BILE and stately American elm is at the
head of the list, which includes linden,
ash, hard maple and other frst-class
trees.
No size, even up to three feet in di-
ameter, seventy-fve feet high, and. it
may be. a century old, is too large to
grapple with. Great trucks, with
wheels eight feet in diameter, and
capable of bearing mass of ten or more
tons of soil and tree are used. Trees
have been moved fifteen miles, which
are still growing and have been since
the centennial year of 1876. Last year
the superintendent of Graceland Ceme-
terry moved two elm trees growing with
in six feet of each other. The larger
was three feet six inches, the smaller
over three feet in diameter. They were
moved nearly half mile in one solid
mass, as they grew; but in this case
they were operated by a house-moving
apparatus with windlGss and chains.
The trees came out In full leaf and
grew all summer, as If they had never
been disturbed. But these are excep-
tional cases, showing to what extent
the business has been carried. To take
an elm of one foot diameter two feet

BOB'S NOBLE GAME.
Was tho Dogs Point an Honest One o
Was IL n Sarcasm?

Was II Sarcasm?
John Slate had a pointer dog which
he called Bob" He was a well-bred
dog and liked to hunt, but not in the
regulation manner, preferring to scour
the woods on his own account leaving
the hunter to do the same.
No amount of whipping awaited to
keep him in; therefore, as a help to the
hunter he was not a success
One day, John, with several other
hunters, went out cunning for grouse.
Four men and two dogs made up the
party, bob" being one of them.
Az soon as he got the word TO hunt
'em up" he started like fash, and for
half an hour they saw no more of
Bob
At last John discovered him standing
on a dead point" and Immediately
yelled to his comrades to Come up;
Bob's on point"
STEADY, Bob, steady Oh, no; Bob
amt no good; oh, no. Steady, Bob.
Jim, you get over to the right-steady,
Bobby Charley, you go over to the
left. Steady, there, Bob! that's a good
dog. Oh, no; Bob amt good for
nothing; oh! no. Steady, Bobby Hank,
you come over here by me. Steady,
Bob! See him stand there, will you;
amt that a beautiful point, thought
Steady, Bob! Now let's move up slow
ly. Are you all ready?"
"All ready; here we CO."
The whole calvacade moved slowly
forward, ready to empty their rifles into
the first thing that flew through the air.
They gradually closed around the dog,
which was now pointing at some object
apparently not six feet away, and which
utterly refused to move another inch.
wait minute, said John, and I'll
&C and flush the bird"
He moved slowly and cautiously in
the direction indicated by the dog, and
there, under the shadow of a big stone,
discovered not a grouse, nor quail. nor
a woodcock, but big mud turtle.
In the suddenness of his overwhelming
chagrin and rage, John turned around
to shoot the dog, but he had gone off on
another hunting expedition.-I. W.

FASHIONABLE FOOT-GEAR.
Novelties Displayed in London Shops-The
Patti Shoe.

Patti shoe.
Caters have been so popular this sea-
son that the ''gaiter boot" has been
brought out in imitation of them. 1t is
a high-legged boot, and buttons in a
straight line down the left side like
gaiter. The top of the boot is of glace
kid, the vamp of patent leather. 1t is
also made of the skin of the seal, in
shades of fawn and claret. After the
''gaiter boot" the next newest novelty
is boot made of glace kid, the toe of
which is ornamented with butterfly or
a group of flowers embroidered on the
boot in cOlored silks. This is very
smart boot, suitable either for evening
or carriage wear. Another new boot
has transparent uppers, made of open
work silk net. This boot is generally
worn in the evening or on smart occa-
sions, and the wearer of il has an oppor-
tunity of displaying an elaborate stock

be delightfully."- cool and comfortable to
wear in warm weather. Boots made on
the same model have obtained great
favor with young gentlemen who find g
difficulty in keeping evening shoes on
their feet. But of course, the court
shoe is the proper thing. 1t is still
made of patent leather, with a bow OF
black ribbon or a buckle for an orna-

is three-quarters of an inch, but some
gentlemen have their heels built two
and one-half inches high.
A few novelties in foot-gear were
sketched at a shop in Regent street. A
white satin shoe has a rather conspicu-
Gus ornament on the toe in the shape of
the Eiffel Tower, worked out with gold
heads. A dainty shoe tor afternoon
wear with tea-gown is of pale blue
satin embroidered with beads and silk
of the same shade, and finished off
round the top with fluffed-out silk
ruche. 1t is not considered necessary
to have back to this particular shoe,
so the wearer must move about gently
in order to keep it on. The "K'' is
neat shoe of claret-colored leather. 1t

above. In fact, Patti wears rather sim
pie shoe made of satin to match her
gowns, and adorned by bow or
buckle. The front is partly transpar-
ent, being barred across by narrow
strips of satin, each strip little dis
lance apart. Patti is not an admirer of
the pointed toe; she wears the round
toe, but she likes high heels, for her
own heel measures from two and half
to three inches. Patti has a small,
pretty foot, and takes threes in size.-

The removal OF large living trees,

than in any other part of the world.
During the early years of the city's
growth the business was performed in
very crude manner, and the only trees
thus removed were poplars. willows and
soft naples. They were trimmed to
mere poles when transplanted, but took
root and we're soon covered with a leafy
growth. But these have mostly disap-

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Scrupulously Avoid the Use of Saw-Dust
to Collect Oil Drippings.

Scrupulously Avoid the Use of Saw-Dust
to Collect Oil Drippings.
Among the results brought to light by
recent Investigations of the sources of
spontaneous combustion, is the fact that
saw-dust should never be used in oil
shops or warehouses, to collect drippings
or leakages from casks. Dry vegetable
or animal oil is found to inevitably
take fire when saturating cotton waste,
at $50 deg. Fahrenheit. and spontane-
Gus combustion occurs more quickly
when the cotton is soaked with its own
weight of oil. The addition of 40per cent.
of mineral oil--density .s9O--of great Wis
costly, and emitting no inflammable va
pors, even in contact with an ignited
body at any point below S3s deg
Fahrenheit, is sufficient to prevent
spontaneous combustion, and the addi-
ton of 20 per cent. of the same mineral
oil doubled the time necessary to pro-
duce spontaneous combustion. Danger
is involved in patent dryers" from
leakage into sawdust etc, oily waste
OF any kind, or waste cloths of silk or
cotton. saturated with oil, varnish or
turpentine; also linseed oil cask drip
pings into sponge, glycerine or oil
of any kind leaking into sawdust. and
oily turnings mixed with sawdust;
rust from gun barrels kept some
time under water, scraped and put in
parcel in pocket; bituminous coal in
large heaps of pit coal, fastened by
wet and especially when pyrites are
present in the coal-the larger the heaps
the greater the liability. Oil on -four,
or water on -four. is productive of
spontaneous combustion. In fact all or.
ganic structures, being largely CON-
posed of carbon and hydrogen, are
steadily excited, because of the affinity
of the hydrogen for oxygen, both OF
which are in an allatropic state Chat is
in state unusually ready to combine).
Hence there is danger in any condition
that brings carbohydrate in oonnec-
