A gallon pail filled with fine sand

as an essential part of the equipment for

with advantage wherever there is pos
sibility of fire starting in oil or oil-soaked
materials. 1t has been found that moth
ing will subdue an oil-fed fire so quickly
aud effe2tually as sand, and the subse-
quent freedom from water damage is a
strong point in its use.

An enthusiast on the subject states
that each head of clover is composed OF
about sixty distinct flower tubes, and
each of these contains sugar not to ex-

The proboscis of the honey bee must
therefore be inserted into 800 clover
tubes before one grain Of sugar can be
obtained. There are 1000 grains in a

pound of clover honey would represent

growth from desert tracts to fertile plains
is explained by the statement that there
nre over 5000 irrigated farms to be
found in it. There is abundance of
water in the Territory, and the only diff

most needed. The problem appeared
difficult of solution few years ago, but
It seems to have welI-nigh succumbed

Hon. Jerry Simpson, that sockIess
statesman of Kansas, is not the man
who believes in boarding gold and
silver away in the old stockings, he
would have it to remain in bank
where it is and answer the good pur
pose for which the precious metals
were intended without the labor and
trouble of mining it, and he clearly
solves the problem which has wor
ried statesmen since the world was
made.
In an address to large audience at
Wichita last Saturday the Hon.
Jerry" outlined his views. He an
n0unccd that he was not "stuck" on
the precious metals as circulating
medium. lie liked "bit of paper
best, and he would leave the gold
and silver in the mountains, for they
belonged there. If he had his way
he would have appraisers appointed,
and they would make estimates Of
all the gold and silver in the ground
in the United States. When they
reported the exact amount he would
issue certi tieates against it to the full
amount,

Matters in our vicinity are moving
on in the same dull routine of every
day life. The weather has been UNI

The Cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when a case of full-aedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences OF
that neglect are fully realized. AS a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages of consumption, use Eilert's Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-
pepsia, Nervousness and all Bilious
Complaints, use Eilert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.

A rREArY on REoIPRocIrN.
Arranged with Brazil on the Basis of TIC
Mckinley Bill.

|
Mckinley Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. -Negotiations
which have been pending for some time
between this government and Minister
| nendonca on behalf of the Brazilian
government, have resulted in treaty Of
reciprocity upon the basis of the McKin-
ley bill, and will shortly be officially
proclaimed.
The Brazilian government being large
ly dependent upon custums revenue for
support, could not establish entire free
trade with the United States, but under
the agreement reached American pro-
ducts which are now almost excluded
from that country, will be admitted up
on reciprocal terms, and the provisions
of the Mckinley bill in reference to
Brazilian products, such as coffee, tea,
sugar and hides will come i'll on free list,
under the provision Of the agreement.
The present annual importation of
sugar from Brazil is about 125,9G0 tons,
and it is believed under the stimulus
which this reciprocity will give, that she
will this year increase her sugar ship
ments to 300 600 tons, next year to 5OO.-
600 tons and that in five years Brazil
will be able to furnish all the sugar re-
quired in the United States.
Some idea of the far reaching import
ance of this reciprocal agreement may
be gathered from the estimates which
have been made of the increased trade
which will result. At present the
United States pays to Brazil annually
about 500, 100000, while they receive
So, 0Q0, 600 in return. 1t is expected
that in three years Brazil will pay the
United States in return for our manu-
features and products at least $25, 0O0,-
600, which amount will be distributed
through every section of the country.
Not only does Brazil place great
many American articles ON its free list,
but it has been arranged that on other
articles, in the manufacture of which
Europe completes with this country, the
tariff will be lowered in our favor to an
extent which will make it more profit
able for Brazilians to import goods from
this country than from Europe. This dis
elimination is to be shown, of course,
only to the United States, the tariff on
European articles remaining unchanged.
1t is understood that similar agree
ments with Cuba and Venezula are also
being negotiated.
