Give the people OF each township the
right to vote bonds, or vote tax TO be

this fund In corn In times when corn is
cheap and let II be kept I'LL dry year
comes, then sell 20 those living In the
township at such prices as may be de-
teFmlned by the township board or as
near cost as possible. By voting tax Of
.02l on the assessed valuation Of our
township for two years, and thus Invest
ing II, we could save about % cents per
bushel; that Is, II we had bought In 1889
and sold now. This would keep a large
part OF any good crop out OF the hands

corn raised here at from II TO IA cents

THE DIVINITY OF KINGS.
Embarrassing Customs to Which the
idea Has Given Rise.

Embarrassing Customs to which the
Idea Has Given Rise.
Cornhill Magazine.
The King OF Loango is not permitted to go
outside his palace. His royal brother Of Ibo
may not step from his house unless human
sacrifice is offered in his stead to propitiate
destiny The kings of Ethiopia, on the
Upper Nile, were treated as gods, but were
never allowed for all that to leave their own
precincts. If the kings of Sheba appeared in
the streets, their scandalized subjects i'm
mediately stoned them. To this day, the
sovereigns of Corea, who receive divine
honors, are shut up Theoretically in their own
apartments, and never communicate directly
with their people.
In other cases different precautions are
taken to prevent the king being seen. At
Mandalay, paliugs six feet high were erected
in all the streets where the great theebaw of
the moment was likely to pass and when
eyer he went abroad in his capital all the peo-
pie had TO stay behind these wooden barriers.
The sultan of Wadai speaks from behind
curtain; the sultan of Darfur wraps his face
In piece of white muslin. A last relic of
these curious isolat ed customs may be seen in
the taboo which prevents many eastern
monarchs from ever quitting their own
dominions Several Indian princes may not
leave India, and it was with great difficulty
that the Persians reconciled themselves to the
idea of their shah visiting Europe.
One of the oldest taboos, however, to
western minds at least, is that which forbids
the king to have his hair cut, or to pare his
nails, or otherwise to get rid Of any useless
part of his sacred body. The mikado, poor
god-descended wretch, was never allowed to
cut his hair, or even to wash himself. The
Frankish kings wore their locks about their
shoulders because it would have been wicked
to touch them with the shears, and endless
other instances could easily be quoted.
The reason is, in part, no doubt, that the
whole body is divine, and therefore to be
respected but even more in all probability,
because of the evil use that an enemy might
make of such hair or nail parings, if they got
into his power. For it is well-known
principle OF magic, in all times and places,
that if you want to make spells against any
one, you ought, if possible, topossess yourself
Of something that once belonged to him, or,
above all, of an actual relic or part of his
body. This you can then use as a fetch or
charm for the destruction of the person to
whom it originally belonged.

A BANANA WILL PEEL ITSELF.
That Is If You Utilize the Pressure of the
Air in the Right Way.

That Is If You Utilize the Pressure of the
Air in the Right Way.
ST. Louis Post Dispatch
A neat table trick is to make an egg force
its way into an ordinary wine carafe, such as
is found on all well-regulated dinner tables.
The other accessories are some paper and a
medium hard-boiled egg with the she'll taken
off. Drop the paper lighted into wine bottle
and get the interior we'll heated. This expands
the air within and forces part of it out.
While the interior is still hot stand the egg up
on end In the neck of the bottle and let 1t
rest there. AS the bottle cools off the egg
will begin to force its way in until it finally
drops.
Another trick which works on the same
principle is to make banana peel itself. To
do this all that is wanted is wine bottle. a
ripe banana, and bit of paper wet with
alcohol. Light the paper and drop 1t into the
bottle. Have one end OF the banana partly
peeled so that the ends of the skin will catch
on the rim of the bottle. When the air in
the bottle is well heated set the banana on end
on top and let it do the rest itself, as the air
on the inside cools OF and contracts the out
side pressure pushes the banana down intS
the bottle until it has pulled itself out of its
skin.

Of Mr.. Robert Downing the tragedian, who

Eugenia Blair, of whom very good picture is
given. Miss Blair is Southerner. She was
born in Columbia, s. c. She made her debut
at Hooley's Theatre, Chicago, with the late
John T. Raymond, in the play entitled
"Risks.n Since that time she has supported
most of the prominent stars OF America. Miss
Blair has the reputation of being one of the

most beautiful women on the stage, which
with her rare histrionic abilities have made
her one of the most popular leading ladies
before the public She is unusually handsome,
with large brown eyes, fair complexion, and
golden brown hair. Miss Blair in the imper-
sonation of her wide range of characters has
the merit of never overriding her work. This
is high compliment to pay any one During
Theatre, the week commencing August 81,
Miss Blair will be seen in several of her most
prominent characterizations, viz: Pdrthenia,
Virginia, Neodanlid, Caldnthe, and Katherine.
Miss Blair is an accomplished musician, and
speaks eight different languages fuently.
She is now with her husband at their delight
full summer home, Edgemore, near Bennings.
