70 the People Of Kansas:

To the People Of Kansas:
The Bureau OF Promotion organized
by the convention held on the 23d and
9th days OF April, 1891, to propose q
a plan by which the state OF Kansas can
make an exhibit at the Worlds Column
bian Exposition, herewith presents q
detailed statement OF the methods
adopted and the measures suggested to
secure such exhibit. The convention
wisely determined that the sum OF
100000 was necessary to make such q
display of our resources and production
Is will be creditable to our state. To
raise this sum OF money, it was deter
mined that each county, and each rail-
road company operating a line within
this state, should be called upon to pay
such portion of the sum Of 100000 as
the assessed value OF the property OF
each county or railroad company bears
10 the total assessed value OF the state.
The sum allotted to each county, based
on county valuations less railroad prop
prty. is shown BY the following table:

demanded by the necessities OF the stu
alton. Kansas must make It's most YER
satile as we'll as the most interesting
display OF local production and natural
resources at the great exposition.
It is fondly hoped that the plan stg'
rested by the convention will meet with
the hearty approval and cordial support
of the people. 1t is confidently be-
lieyed that under its detailed operation
every Industrial and productive interest
| in the state, as we'll as every locality

IN make il q success it must have the

There are two universities, one at
Buenos Ayres and one at Cordoba, which
together counted 993 students in 1899,
and delivered 2A diplomas, including s.,
doctors of law, IS doctors of medicine,
and II civil engineers. In the whole
republic there are sixteen national col
leges, with a teaching corps of 4G4 pro-
fessors and an attendance in 1880 of
1850 pupils. In tie capital and the
provinces there are thirty-fve normal
schools, with I 1904 pupils of both sexes,
who become professors and teachers,
chiefly for the primary schools.
In Buenos Ayres in 1889 there were

teachers and attended by 81, 500 children.
In the provinces there were 2,719 pri-
mary schools, with a teaching staff of

The handkerchief in France.

Lace was used to ornament handker-
chiefs in Franco a early as 1854. In
1913 they were embroidered and had tas-
sells at each of the four corners. In the
time Of the Directory, that period of
fashionable eccenHicity, they underwent
many vagaries. Those ladies who did
not care to yea the pocket attached to
the girdle and wished. to have the hands
ut liberty tucked the fan into the belt,
slid the purse into the corsage and had
the handkerchief carried by a gallant,
to whom it was necessary to-apply when
it happened to be needed. If the hand
kerchief carrier could not be found, or
was insidiously flirting with another wo-
man, and the nose imperativeay demand
ed blowing, the case was serious.
When the French blow the nose, it
should be remembered, it is for all it is
worth. No one who has not witnessed
the performance could ever believe the
nasal passages possessed of such q sonor-
GUS quality, and when the effort is sew
eral times repeated might easily i'm
agine himself listening to the Angel
Gabriel rehearsing for the last judgment.
The French fashion in this respect is not
to be recklessly initiated like Paris styles

bonnets and other things pertaining to

Crabs Are FIchtcrs.

Crabs particularly are fighting ami
mails; in fact, they will fight anything.
l have seen a crab, in conflict with a lob
ster, catch the latter over the fore part
of the head, where the shell is hardest,
and crush it in by one effort. And it
rather bears out my idea that the claws
of these creatures are particularly weap-
IL of war; that the moment one of
them receives severe injury in q claw it
drops it off by voluntary amputation,
sevcring its connection with the body at
the shoulder by an act of its own will.
1t seems to me probable that if the claw
were necessary for feeding nature would
rather seek to cure an injury to it thar
let the animal discard it altogether.
The species of crab which is most con-
spicuously a fighter is tho hermit crab.
Its first idea of independent life is to eat
a harmless whelk and occupy its shell;
its next notion is to give battle to every
crab OF the same persuasion as itself THAT
it comes across. Altogether hermit crabs
are undoubtedly the most %quarrelsome
creatures i'll Observation-Disclosures in

Gently calne under the observation of a
young man connected with a prominent
publishing house, one of the Oldest in
tho country, and which has for three
generations been conducted by tho de-
scendantsof the original founder. With
other publications there was issued a
neat little treatise on household econo-
my, showing how, on a small income, it
was possible to live comfortably. The
author was a woman, and gave her book
the title, "How She Did It." The book
had a fairly good sale, but presently
there appeared to be a sudden and unac-
countable demand for the volume, and
every fortnight the house was puzzled
by orders for more. It ran through a
fourth edition before the young superin-
tendent learned the cause. The orders
had invariably come from the same
source, and it was then discovered that
the persistent buyer advertised the book
extensively in sporting and other jour
mails. His method was simplicity itself.
