rate of interest than that allowed by
law, but the rate now allowed should
be lowered. Twelve per cent. is too
much, for the simple reason that it is
more than can be realized upon his
investment by the most thrifty far
mer, and as farmers are the real pro-
ducers of wealth, a rate of interest
should not be allowed greater than
they can, by thrift and energy, real

Eight per cent. per annum should be
the highest rate allowed it this state,
and it is the rate which the mass OF
people desire.-Waco News.

A New standard of Lencth.

Scientists have long sought for a fixed
and invar,ahle standard Of length. The
measures in common use are mere arbi-
trary lengths, and, f the original stand
ards should be destroyed, could not be ac-
curately replaced. The French meter is
supposed 70 be a ten-milliouth part Of the
quadrant Of the earth; but the accuracy
of the original measurements has been
seriously called I'm question. The SO called
wave lengths Of light have been suggested
as furnishing an invariable numerical
magnitude. but their excessive minute
ness and the difficulty Of accurately meas
uring them have heretofore been an in
superahle objection 10 their use.
Messrs. Nicholson and Morley have now
devised a method of measuring these
wave lengths, which they claim is prob
ably accurate TO one ten-milli0nth part.
When it is considered that a wave length
of sodium yellow light is only about one
forty-thOusandth Of an inch, the delicacy
Of this method becomes apparent. What
ever theory may be held as to the nature
of light the numerical values called for
convenience "wave lengths are actual
and iuvariable magnitudes ot something;
and, if the new method Of measurement
proves reliable, there viii be no difficulty
in obtaining a fixed standard of length
which can be reproduced at any time or
place. Popular Science News.

A ranchman's work is, OF course, free

will ride out with his men among the

meat; then he can make the tour Of his
outlying camps; or, again, may join one

haps keeping with it the entire time it is
working On occasions he will have a
good deal Of spare time on his hands,

Talking of patent medicine:

Talking of patent medicines
you know the ola prejudice.
And the doctors some of
them are between you and us.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
e0erythang and SO, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
=" stuff, "you lose faith in e0e1y-
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk Of its doing just
what it processes to do.

cred that it was tumor Of the ovary.
As it was partly cystic, the doctor first
performed electrolysis by means Of his
galvanic battery on the cyst, and after
it had shrunken and the growth become

by removing the whole tumor. The tu-
