Clergymen's sons as Reporters.

There is an old SANDER, now happily
nearly extinct, to the effect that ministers
sons are, rs rule, more lavish sewers Of
wild oats than the sons of laymen. The
subject of the clergyman's son in journal
ism has never yet been regarded as an is
sue, and yet the profusion with which
some Of the newspaper offices of Boston
are sprinkled with the sons Of ministers
might well lead to discussion of the topic.
In the office of one of the Boston dailies a
group of six attaches of the staff were in
conversation, when it became known that
of the six five were sons of ministers. Still
another member of the staff, himself a
clergyman, is the son Of clergyman.
From this same Office, within the last year
or two, three members of the staff have
gone, one by one, to swell the staff Of an
other great Boston daily, and all three are
sons of clergymen. All Of these nine men
are of good repute, and are all rather proud
that they are able to refute the saying
once SO frequently heard, but now rapidly
falling into disuse. Boston Advertiser.

Does Your Barber Use 4 sponee4

or course, take it for granted that no one
who knows better will allow any barber tc
wipe his face off with a sponge. II there is
anything In the world that will catch infec.
ton and hold it sponge is that thing. In
surgical operations many small sponges are
used to absorb blood from the open wounds,
Not only is a second hand sponge never used
in such cases, but the new sponges are only
bought from first class surgical instrument
houses, which guarantee that they have never
been used since they were raised out of the
sea, As soon as the operation is over these
sponges are destroyed. So need hardly
warn you never to let BARRIERS sponge come
in contact with your face. Interview in New

A Precious Pair.

There is fun up in East Tennessee
between Taylor and Butler. The
Knoxville Journal (RepublicanD is
pitching into Uncle Josiah for the

though not for Patterson, retorts,
telling the Journal to look after its
own precious family. 1t seems that
Rod and ALI formed a partnership
to practice before the Legislature on
this special case. The Sentinel says I:
"Since our former articles we have
seen a copy of the notorious "Memo-
rial Of the DepositOrs," addressed to
the General Assembly of 1887 and
recalling that Butler & Tayle: are
not only posing as patriots, but also
as "trOoly loil men," we wish to
show their hollow hypocrisy to a
people whom they daily deceive.
In this memorial they unite with
Messrs. Patterson, Hill and Vertrees,
"upper-case Democrats" and with
Murray and Hawkins, "upper-case
Republicans" CD in an effort to lay
upon the backs of the people of Ten
nessee a debt, the principal of which
alone, they say, is 81, 746,377.57 and

And steal the ore OF sunset. imps whose veins
Scarce pulsate with their currents Of thin dew

Winged slowly up into the billowy sky.

Brushed by the great sun beetles wing, flushed

Had lived again within our reverent hearts,
Fled like dream; and naught remained with US
Save deepening shades beneath slow clustering

KANSAS SUGAR INTEREST.

The annual report of State Inspector
Kellogg to the state agricultural bureau
regarding the sugar industry which has
developed SO rapidly during the past two
years has been submitted. His report is
of the most encouraging nature as to the
future of the industry. He says there
can lee no longer any doubt as to the
practicability of the manufacture of
sugar from sorghum cane. Says the
inspector;
In the dry and undeveloped portions of
the state. where corn aud other cereals are
partial or total failure. sorghum Will al
ways flourish. The southern tier of coun-
ties in the state as far west as the west
line of Barber county, * at present the
cream IF the sugar district. The sorghum
crop has been cultivated for ten successive
years without 3 failure in Rice county
The possibilities for the successful Cultiva-
tiou of the beet have opened a new field OF
inquiry, ami il viii take at least one or
TWO seasons before the sugar district can
be Clearly defined. Vast tracts OF land II
the western part Of the state are lying idle.

cane"
We would respectfully refer the EN-
poria Republican and other clamorers
for free sugar" to this report. and if
they still entertain doubts of the success
of the industry in Kansas they might
consult to advantage the reports of the
operators of the mills at Medicine Lodge.

The sugar interest in Kansas possesses
too great possibilities to be dashed by
the stroke Of faber of few skeptics.
