The Middleman and Over-Production,

Think of such state of things as
Mr.. Mills gives an instance of, in
recounting his experience among the
destitute poor of Liverpool. One
cold December morning he found in
a certain house baker out of work,
and next door to him a tailor out OF
work, and next door again, a shoe
maker in the same plight. 81 could
not forget for many days." he says,
ssthat none of them had what could
be called pair of shoes, and none
of them proper suit of clothes, and
they were all exceedingly anxious

thing on earth that will grow in that
latitude. We raise some years fine rib
bon cane and all the cereals. For hay,
we have alfalfa, melilotus, millet and
prairie grass-the latter comprising over
200 varieties, consisting of Paspalums,
Panicums, Agrostis, ,Erogrostis, Buchloe,
Utarias, Andropogan, Bromus, and a
great many others and many varieties
of each, besides the Bermuda does well
on any of our lands.
But Notwithstanding all these advan-
tages and many more too numerous to
mention, our people seem cotton crazy
and 60 blindly ON, breaking more soil
year after year and planting cotton, cot
ton, cotton. Some, however, are getting
their eyes open and are raising more at
home and are learning to improve their
cattle, and are having more milk and
butter than they used to, especially
since the advent of farmers institutes.
Some are learning to return to the land
some of the nutrition taken from it each
year, and by the help ofsuch journals as
the old So. LIVESTOCK JOURNAL, Jer-
sey Bulletin, Hoard's Dairyman and our
home agricultural papers, our people
are slowly learning to raise more hog
and hominy, if not less cotton.
The JOURNALS plan of the farmers
planting less cotton to keep up the prices
is the best thing ever offered. If we
can get concert of action-but I find
am seriously DEPRESSING. I started to
describe our Ellis county lands and
country.

diversity of sod and none extra poor
plenty of water, plenty of timber, and
with three or four railroads now run

taken altogether our farmers are about

The Japanese Wax Tree.

"Japan wax" as it is called, is OBJ
tanned from tree, Rhus succedanea,
which is found in Japan, China and
throughout the East Indies in general.
In the japanese language it is called
haze or haze. The tree commences to
bear fruit when five or six years old,
and increases its product every year, till
at the age of fifty years single tree will
produce $50 to 400 pounds of berries,
from which seventy to eighty pounds Of
wax can be obtained.
The wax is formed in the middle Of
the berry, between the skin and the
seed, like the pulp of grape. 1t is ex-
tracted by boiling the berries in water
and allowing it to cool, when the wax
separates from the skin and seed, sink
ing to the bottom of the vessel in a solid
cake. The specific gravity of this wax
is 0.970, and its melting point 131 degs.
Fahrenheit. 1t is largely used, either
alone or mixed with tallow, by the Chi
nese in the manufacture of candles.
This tree should not be COMPOUNDED
with the 'tallow tree" of China, which
has pith of solid tallow in all trees that
have fully matured.-St, Louis Repub-

The Misuse of the Fan.

"Talk about the early martyrs" said a
lady, as she came out of crowded con-
cert room the other evening. "They are
absolutely nothing to me. Here l am
just up from an attack of influenza, and
I'll warrant myself to have another at
tack, and all for the selfish stupidity of
one old woman with fan. wish peo-
pie had more consideration or sense or
something" and the speaker stopped to
sneeze and pull her wraps closer about
her throat.
"And she sat there by your side and
waved one of those great, strong, gusty
fans, creating a breeze like young
whirlwind, until you are all of a chill, l
suppose" said her friend.
Indeed, yes, and the more pulled up
my scarf the harder she famed There
wasn't vacant seat in the house or |
would have taken it. I didn't like to
ask her to stop, for she hadn't specially
inviting cOuntenance. And have taken
a severe cold, for every bone in my body
aches. l think there should be a rule
against fans in crowds, just as there is
against canes and umbrellas in art gal
leries. You can mend statues or build
more, but there isn't any remedy that /
know of, when once we are dead from
somebody's carelessness or Indifference"
But it is easy enough to use fan so
as to disturb no one; wave it gently
forward and back, never from side to
side. l see no reason why people should
make their neighbors uncomfortable by
such acts when a little sense and con-
sideration would make every one com
Portable. l think there are very few
delicate persons who have not at some
time in their lives suffered from the too
vigorous waving of fan in the vicinity.
Indeed any one, however well, is serious
ly exposed to colds if on coming into an
assembly often quite heated from hur-
ried walking, current of air from fan
is directed across the neck and shout
ders. L have made up my mind that
one who is careless or inconsiderate
enough to use fan to my discomfort is
a suitable subject for reprimand, and
that, then and there, she will get it,

Religion depends on Physiology.


Before and since my fasts of forty
days, in Minneapolis in 1877 and New
York in 1880, have given much time to
the investigation of the physiological
and psychological effects of food. and as
result of my study and experiments
unqualifedly assert that the prevailing
skepticisn as to the superior claims of a
vegetarian diet for the best DEVELOPMENT
of man in his entirety is only compatible
with the most incorrigible indifference
and mournful restitution OF knowledge,
scriptural and otherwise, on a subject of
vital importance.
1t is not often that the claim is set ND
that the question of food just as properly
belongs TO the domain of theology as to
physiology, yet | champion the claim,
and considering how much the happi-
ness and welfare of humanity depends
upon the soundness and precision Of its
moral and religious views, and not for
getting the ever increasing control which
scientific proof exerts over the masses Of
men, will endeavor to prove, TO the
philoSophic mind at least, that the ad-
vancement Of the absolute or perfect re-
Eglon as taught and lived by the Man Of
Nazareth-which was religion of prac-
uce and not of Acknowledgements upon a
proper understanding of physiology.

apparatus.-Dr. Tanner ID Kansas CITY

The Ahnse of "RabY."

New born babes in particular are the
helpless victims of an ignorance which
has crystallized into divers 'old wives
notions" The little ones skin is noticed
to be of a yellowish color; he has the
jaundice. and must be dosed Immediately
and literally with saffron tea. The gra-
tuitous assumption is made that he has
come into the world hungry, and his deli
cate little stomach is filled up with mo-
lasses and water sweetened milk, ETC.,
while the food that was naturally intended
for him is perhaps drawn of with breast
pump and thrown away.
Now it should always be remembered
that pew born babe is in strict physio-
logical condition. He needs no food other
than that which nature has provided. His
skin is always of a different color from
that which it will assume later on. Dos
ing new born infant is inexcusable. IL
has killed thousands. The little bag which
some oldtime nurses used to carry about
with them, full of all kinds of herbs, oils
and other notions, is an abomination. I'm
happily, it is not yet wholly obsolete. 1t
will be well for humanity when we learn
that the less nature is interfered with the
better.
A good principle in dealing with all
classes of patients until the doctor comes
is embodied in the old saying, when in
doubt what to do, don't go and do it,
Babyhood.

One Merry Little Woman.

There Is in this city merry little woman
who never Is obliged TO ask twice when she
wants anything. She isn't one of the meek
women who never dare to have an original
opinion, or to indorse one unless husband
has first Endorsed it. She says what she
thinks, but even if it is criticism il is
given with such good nature that no one
can take offense. Very often things do not
20 TO suit her, but she has the good sense
10 realize that scolding or complaining or
whining will not help matters
If she as too angry to laugh she keeps
still until she can control herself. If very
angry she shuts herself up in her room
alone for few moments. She saws that
an angry woman seems TO her to be so re-
pulsive an object that she cannot bear to
have those whom she loves best see her in
anysuch character. She never seems TO
command, and her husband imagines that
he always has his own way. She never
disputes the point, yet they who know her
best know that there are few questions that
are not settled TO her entire satisfaction.
She viii appear young when the scolding
women of her age are considered old, and
che will always have an influence for good
where they have no influence at all

An Experimen

A little story is ahoat about what some

an, and some dignity it by more respect

liking for a time honored German custom,
or of her own wit and invention, it has &C.
Cured to this society leader to put her
daughter, who has just left fashionable
boarding school, in a position to learn GER
tain domestic accomplishments respected
in tradition, such as cooking and mending.
For this purpose she has installed her in
the house of an old friend, dear to her since
her own school days, but whose husband is
the counterpart in real life of the country
clergyman in fiction, possessed of few
dollars and many children.
No servant is kept in this establishment,
and the wish of the society woman is that
for the space of year her daughter shall
be her old friends help, using the word
with the honorable Specification it former
ly had in New England. What will be the
issue of this experiment is question a
number of other girls are asking 1t is
not in any way likely to set fashion, and
yet it might, for the story as told includes
several sentences about the Jewelry and
