Sight in Creeping Plants.

From Mrs Kiug's Book on India
 My husband has broached the. ory that l cannot remember to have met with hciore--namely. that creep ing plants can see, OF at any rate have some faculty equaling sight. He was sitting in the veranda with one foot up against large pillar, near to which grows kind of con- volyulus. Its tendriis were leaning over into the veranda, and to Rob ert's surprise he presently noticed that they were visibly turning toward his leg. He remained in the same position. and in less than an hour the tendrils had laid themselves over his leg.
 ' This was in the early morning, and when at breakfast he told me of the discovery, we determined to make further experiments. When We went outinto the veranda the tendrils had turued their heads back to the rail. 1 ing in disgust We got pole and leaned it up against the pillar. quite twelve inches from the nearest sprays of conyolvulus.
 ] In ten minutes they had begun tC curve themselves in that direction and acted exactly as you might ian i cy very slow snake would doi fl he i wished to reach anything. The up per tendrils bent down and the side ones curved themselves until they touched the pole. and in a tow hours were twisted quite around it.
 It was on the side away from tn, light, and excepting the faculty O sight, We can think of no other means by which the tendrils could be aware that the polo had beer placed there. They had to turn ava, from the light to reach 1t, and the, set themselves in motion visibl, within few minutes ot the poles be
 n2 there.

Money That VIII Not Be Paid

The postoffice department will not pay the $l 900 reward offered Tor ,hel capture and conviction of Rube Bur row. There is standing reward of. fered by the postoftice department for the capture and conviction of any one robbing the mails. This is the reward thnt applied to Rube Burrow. But 1t will not be paid because there was no convinction. nor has proof been established in court that Rube kBurrow robbed the mails The de- partment officers know he did, bat they never pay reward without legal proof and conviction.

FEMALE FLORICULTURISTS.
Census Bulletin on a New Field OF
Labor for Women

A census bulletin on Horticulture, given
out for publication a few days ago, has an
interesting history. 1t is understood to be
the result of a suggestion made by the wife
of the Superintendent of the Census, with
view Of opening up a new avenue of employ
ment for women. Superintendent Porter,
from the day he received his appointment
until now, has been worn down by pitiful ap-
peals from women for employment. With
out straining facts it might be said that the
proportion of rejected women applicants was
as high as ninety-nine out of a hundred.
Many of those disappointed took woman's
chance and appealed to the wife of the
Superintendent, who seeing so many help
less females in the world, turned her mind TO
devising some new opening to employment.
The result was the special report on horicul-
at her suggestion.
1t seems that there are already over 300
Horticultural establishments owned and man
AGED by women, and the number is susceptible
OF being indefinitely increased. The returns Of
receipts from cut flowers for last year exceed
$4,000. 0G0 This is undoubtedly only part OF
the actual receipts derived from this source.
The products of the year were nearly
SO, 600, 600 of rose bushes and l53,-
OOOOOO of other plants Pennsylvania,
illinois and Ohio are the States
where the propagation of roses is carried on
most extensively New York, Illinois and
Kansas take the lead in the propagation of
hardy plants, and New York, Illinois, Penn
SyIvania and California are about equal in
the value OF their cut flower sales. The in-
dustry IS capable of much greater develop
ment, and is one for which women are pecu-
Harly adapted.

A CURIOUS REMEDY.
Using Disease-Infected Chinch Bugs
to Kill Healthy Ones.

Chancellor Snow, of the Kansas State
University, who last year discovered dis
ease fatal to chinch bugs, has received APP
plication from farmers in fifty different
counties in Kansas for disease infected bugs
These bugs are infected with what Mr.. Snow
calls chiLch bug cholera A few Of the in
sects are placed in field of wheat and soon
all the bugs sicken and die, effectually rid
ding the field OF the pest. 1t Is not believed
that the chinch bug has YET made its appear
ance in Kansas wheat fields, but the farmers
are making ready for them.

Still the FaYorite.

If you are contemplating a trip for
business or pleasure it will be well to re-
member that the Burlington Route is still
the favorite. Her old established line
to Chicago hardly needs more than mere
mention for the reason that every man,
woman and child in the country is so
familiar with the fact that over this line
runs the famous solid vestibule ELI"
with its splendid Pullman Sleepers, chair
cars and dining cars.
Your attention is now called to our
double daily service between Kansas City.
Atchison, st. Joseph and st. Louis.
Heretofore we had but one daily train
from the Missouri river to st. Louis, that
being night train, placing passengers in
st. Louis in the morning in time for
breakfast and all eastern connections, but
on account of the increasing demand an
other train has been put on and now
leaves Kansas City, Atchison and st. Jo-
seph in the morning, placing the pnssen-
ger in st. Louis in the early evening of
the same day.
Omaha and Council Bluffs are put in
rapid communication with the lower Mis-
souri, river points by two superb daily
trains, one leaving Kansas City late in
the morning and the other in the evening,
making the run from Kansas City in
about eight hours. The morning train
carries through buffet sleeping car to
st. Paul and Minneapolis, placing the
passenger in the twin cities twenty hours
after leaving Kansas City.

Since this is the season of the "ghost
dance" it is quite natural to expect that a
six per cent. penalty law may be passed
Why not make it two per cent. per annum
and felony to loan at all. 1t would be
as sensible and as productive of benefit
as the six per cent. ironclad now under
consideration, in this our present de-
pressed condition. 1t would help us out,
wouldn't it? when the capital here is
retired, to the ruin of many farmer who
might be able to tide over the depression
and come out all right. We bargain for
money the same as any other commodity
and when we are asked more than we can
afford to give we let it alone. If we are
to have law passed now, let it be based
on common sense principles and not on
delirious hallucination, bearing the fruits
of repentance when too late to repair the
broken fortunes occasioned by it.

Dobbins' Dilemma.
BY JERICHO.
Written for the "Kicker."

When Dobbins fell beneath the blow
OF good st. Peters righteous club,
He little rocked his overthrow
And sought the gates of Beelzebub;
Arriving there at dead of night,
With knocking knees i'll great alright
Unto the porter thus outspake:
"Oh, let me in, for PHYS sakep
Now Nick sat up with throbbing head,
(He could not lie awake in bed,
For he had news that very day
OF things transpired In TOpekay,
And wondered why these men of state
His private plans should emulate;
And letters patent all in vain
Gave him the cinch on raising Cain.
So in i'll humor, we suppose,
To greet poor Dobbs reluctant rose
And gliding out within trice
He hailed the wretch from Paradise.
But having learned his biz and place
He slammed the door right in his face;
''One of my kind beneath one roof
fain believe is quite enough"
And Dobbs cried out: I'm mercy's name,
Must go back onto my claimY
Now moralize, We men of state,
Whene'er you try to legislate,
Though others scruple not whit
To steal Old Harry's perquisite,
Con well this rhyme and count the cost
Lest you should get what Dobbins lost,
Or, Dobbins like, so great your blame,
Go sneaking back onto the claim.

Only a few days ago we heard man
say he had, "struck banana" Read the
Ronick letters and your attention will be di
rected to other blunders of the same kind.
They are written by a school marin for
that purpose quite as much as for the
sake Of burlesque.
1t is possible that "the way out" was
written for the purpose of finding the
way in but if SO the author will probably
be disappointed. His head is not sore
enough and he has not been kicker long
enough. He also has some ability to fill
the position to which he aspires.
When I see aman fattering the people,
making great professions of attachment
to liberty, who is in private life tryant,
methinks. Look out, good people, that
fellow would set you turning grindstones. +"

When we see people who keep their
children out Of school to profit by their
labor; who deprive themselves of natures
food to sell it and lay up money; who
steal from nature the needed hours of
rest for the sake of unneeded dimes; who
oppose legislation that appropriates
money for education or valuable improve
ments of general use. Who desire to see
the salaries of public officials lowered so
that men of merit cannot afford to take
them and render such service as the place
requires, then we think we have met some
who are penny wise and pound foolish"
