Speaking of versatility and ability to
make impromptu speeches fitting TO any
occasion, President Harrison leads all
the rest. His best record for single
day, while on his recent trip, was on
Thursday the 18th, when he talked to
twelve different assemblages. The day
before he made eleven speeches.

The Chicago Tribune says: "Were all
the mortgages on Kansas land foreclosed
at once and the state put up at auction,
eager bidders would offer $3.50, 900, 600 as
q mere installmcnt on their value" and
the Atchison Champion pertinently OBJ
serves that eastern capitalists who have
been bowling about their Kansas invest
ments would do well to make note Of
this statement.

Heresy and It's Profit.

From The Chicago GIoDe.
There is no use wasting sympathy on a
man charged with heresy. He is made
hero of whichever way the trial goes
and instead of impairing his usefulness
1t opens up avenues hitherto closed. A
hereto becomes a sort of nine days won
der, and they have all so far seemed to
enjoy their position immensely. 1t is
not question of the future of the
heretics, but of the churches, when such
feeling is prevalent.

When John p st. John, the prohibi-

delegates visited a brewery to take a

number of delegates were from Kansas
and therefore excusable, because they
had been dry for years.

A late report of the statistician of the
agricultural department shows an In

the value of corn and oats, 80 per cent
in wheat, and 80 per cent in cattle. A
bad showing for the new politico-agri-

aboriginal carpentry" says Fl. +.
Mcleod, of the Smithsonian Institute,
was the chief trade of our predecessors
on this continent. The Indians and the
mound builders had n very good idea of
wood working. You will see even now
some very pretty joining done by Sioux
Indians. Their tent poles make fit
which many white carpenter would
not like to try to do better.
"The best carpenters, of course, were
the Aztecs, who had arrived Mt quite
high stage of art, and whose tools, al
though they knew nothing of steel, are
really excellent. We have q few of their
tools 1T tho Smithsonian, but the best
collection is, Of course, in the City of
Mexico. The material used was almost
wholly glass, especially for the finer
parts Of their wood cutting. To chop
trees they used flint axes, and for rough
hcwing out Of logs the same, but when
it came to the accurate fitting in of the
hcwn timber, they handled glass knives,
chiscls and saws very dcftly nnd with
beautiful results. There Is q .ccaba
wood post in Washington with hero
glyphics and faces cut upon it, all with
glass. You can see bits of the original
chiscl still sticking in n corner of tho
wood, where it broke off three centuries
ago under the hand of the workman.
Tho Aztccs knew how to mako n very
good and manageable glass, nnd their
best cutting blades, swords, daggers
and spears saws, chisels md axes wcre
made of it. When the edge dulled they
broke it from the end instead of sharpen
ing it, md got n new cutting line.
"Yon can sec great deal of aborigi-
nal carpentry still in use among the
Moqui Indians Of tho United Statea. OF
course they use our tools now, but
they follow out their old patterns.
They know how to make ladders, and
thoy swing their doors on hinges from
THO, top, and they know how to mortise
timbcrs, knew how long before Column
..bus landed in America. OF course they
use our tools differently from our way.
Tho chisel they push rather than ham,
NOR, work the board up and down on q
fixed saw, rather than tho saw on tho

results. Tho frame work in tho Puebloe

AN EXTRAORDINARY RACE.
Tho Plan BY Which Pig Could Bo E5adC
to Outrun q Horse.

Tho Plan BY Which Pig Could 30 IsadL
to Outrun n Horse.
'Thc qucercst race ever heard Of"
said Major Wcthcrill in the Colonnade
to a Philadelphia Press reporter, twas
proposed ct Devon inn q few years ago
by ono of the guests, IN Italian noble
man, Count Montglas. A crowd Of us
were talking about horses one day on
the veranda, and Montglas offered to
wager that he could successfully run
any active pig in Chester County against
my horse there, and beat tho horse,
over q twenty-five yards course. AS
was natural, VIC roarcd ut the idea, but
tho Count persisted that he could do so.
and then we supposed there was sonC
catch in the wager and nobody took it.
"Aftcr awhile Montglas and I were
lcf: alone on the vcrandn, and he told
me that he was sincere in the bet,
and explained how it was that pig
could outrun C horse over twenty-five
yards. OF course it takes horse 4 Long
time to get under way, and it was on
this alone that the Count placed his
faith. He would hove the course de-
cided upon, and over it would scatter
q line of corn, ut the end placing big,
double handful. Then he would release
the pig, and the latter would start
along, eating the corn as he went, un-
til reaching the end, where he would
find the double handful. Later on that
day the process would be repeated and
the pig would move hurriedly, cat along
the scattered kernels, in IN cndcavor to
reach the pile, twenty-five yards away.
The next day considerably less corn
would be scattered over the course,
but the double handful would still be
placed at the end. Within week only
n very few grains would mark the line
to the capital prize, and on being re-
leased the pig would start of ut break
ncclr speed in his Grccdincss to get the
latter. "Wcl," continued the Major,
ION the day of the race there would be
no corn at all scattered on the course,
but piggy would be squirming and
wrigsling to get off toward the pile.
When ell would be ready the word
Cor would be given; the pig would be
freed, and away he'd start as if shot
from cannon. By the time the horse
could get fairly under way the pig
would be half over the course, just
tearing himself almost apart to reach
that handful Of grain. You see, Mont
glas didn't count on the pigs legs, but
on his appetite"

Worlds Columbian Exposition.
The following from Gov. Colcord's
inaugural message will be Of interest
10 our readers:
San appropriation for a State e.
hibit at the Worlds Columbian Ex-
position to be held at Chicago, Illinois,
in the year 1893, is a question to be
met with forethought Of the de-
preston our industries are now under
going, and I feel confident that you,
with ycur knowledge OF the best ends
and means, will meet it effectively.
While we cannot expect to success
fully compete with more populous and
wealthier States, We should be suff;-
GENTLY liberal to enable our Commits
sioners to do honor and credit to our
great commonwealth. Let it be a
practical manifestation Of our varied
resources, and it will undoubtedly
prove profitable to the State and of
wondrous interest to all visitors. It
may be argued that an appropriation
for this purpose is neither judicious
nor essential, as it cannot be expected
to yield immediate results, but bodies
polite have thought for the future,
and in my estimation moderate out
lay will serve to maintain our good
standing among our sister States and
Territories, and it is certainly one Of
tho very best methods of advertising
