IT is very probable that the above
list does not include all of the defcien-
cies provided for,as they were scattered
around among the famous collection of
senate bills which seem to have been so
carefully prepared that even the noted
chairman of the senate ways and means
committee did not know what he was
passing, but as it shows only trihing
error of $181, S3657 on the part of SEN
ator Buchan, we will let It'll pass.
The eighteen appropriation bills are
touched upon by Mr.. Rogers and fol-
lowing that he speaks of the worlds
fair bill at length. In conclusion he
says:
I'm closing, wish to ask the senator
what was done by the senate to work
reforms in this state? Your party
promised railroad legislation. Did you
make any effort to get any? If not.
why not? Did you ever read the plat
form of your party Of 1890? Why did
you refuse to even consider any of the
promises therein made? Possibly you
may imagine that the mere fact that
the senate backed its ways and means
committee in an attempt to meet every
demand for an appropriation is asuffic-
lent record for such party as you rep
resent. If that is the case, | simply ask
you to content your soul in patience and
wait the verdict of the voters Of Kansas

Frank McGrath Anxious.

KANSAS Cry, April ia special
to the Star from Topeka, KS, says:
Frank McGrath, president of the ALI
ance of this state, has addressed letter
to the southern alliance urging them to
attend the Cincinnati convention and
be prepared to act with third indie
pendent party In his letter he init
mates that unless the southern branch
of the order takes this step the north
ern states will go back to the republi-
can party. The letter was called forth
by q number of editorials which have
appeared in southern alliance papers
opposing third party and declaring
that the alliance in the south must
work out its reforms through the dem
ocratic party.

A LONDON paper says that, owing to
the failure of the crop in India and
some European countries, wheat will
probably reach the highest price In

A Prohibition Convention Called.

TOPEKA, April l5.-James a. Trout
man, president OF the Kansas State
Temperance union, has issued call for
prohibition decennial celebration. In
his call, President Troutman says:
The first day Of May, 1891, will COM
plete decade of prohibition in this
state. Kansas is the typical prohibition
state, and for that reason our policy has
been rfercilessly assaulted by the allied
liquor interests of the nation. While
we have been making history FOR Kan
sas, we have been fighting moral pate
tie for the whole United States. That
prohibition is impregnably intrenched
in our fundamental law, after ten years
of such warfare. is significant fact

A POlynesian Legend.

Tura, coming from over seas, found him.
self in land named Otea and leaving
his canoe journeyed inland. Travelling
through the dense forest, he saw fairies sit
ting in the flowers of the climbing plants
and swinging on the llianas which trailed
from tho high boughs across the vistas of
the wood. These fairies were curiously
shaped beings, having small heads and
large bodies, while their hands and feet
were attached to limbs SO short that they
seemed as II extruding from their bodies
Tura had brought with him the sticks
wherewith fire is produced by friction, and
he proceeded to kindle a fire and to cook
some food, much to the establishment of
the fairies, who had always consumed their
food in it's natural state. Tura fell in love
with one of the fairy women and married
her. His wife reciprocated his affection
and they lived happily together; but one
day when the el6n spouse was combing
out her husbands hair she suddenly cried
out, ooh, Tura, what is this white hair
among the black ones?"
He told her that it was sign of age and
of approaching decay, the forerunner of
death. Then his wife wept bitterly and
refused to be comforted. 1t is a touching
story, the sudden surprise and grief of this
child of the immortals on her discovery of
that which to us poor sons OF clay is so
common and obtrusive a fact. The old
legend has given rise to a proverbial say
ing, ''The weeds of Tura," as a synony'
nous expression for gray hair.

Birds That Are All Feathers.

Z he -bbiiA est ofrtA really powerful flying
birds are, believe, the wandering alba
tross and the South American condor-for
the roc l reject outright as worthy only of
the most restricted Arabian and nocturnal
ornithology. Seen OH the wing, or even
with the wings expanded merely, both
these great existing birds have most ma
jestic and colossal appearance But feath-
ers in such cases are very deceptive; they
make fine birds out of very small bodies
For example, our we'll known little En-
glish swift, which looks SO imposing in
flight as it passes overhead with pinions
poised, is hardly as big when plucked as
mans top thumb joint, and weighs only
half an ounce. So, too, the albatross,
though it's expanse of wing is said to ex-
coed that of any other known bird, amount
ing sometimes to nearly ten feet from tip to
tip, does not average in weight more than
fifteen pounds, which is just exactly the
poulterer's statement for my Christmas
turkey.
AS for the condor, while he spans from
wing to wing some eight feet, his length
from beak to tail is only three and half,
and doubt if he would pluck Ito any
thing corresponding to his magnificent
outer show, though am bound to admit
that have never personally tried the un-
pleasant experiment.-Cornhill Magazine

distaste for domestic life Ia bad. How

you have but little more time to give to do
nestle welfare? Do you not see, father,
that your children are soon to go out into

saw hayward husband standing at
the deathbed of his Christian wife, and
saw her point to ring on her finger and
heard her say to her husband, "Do you see
that ringP" He replied, Eyes, see it. F"
"Well," said she, do you remember who
put it thereP" "Yes," said he, II put 1t
there" and all the past seemed to rush
upon him. BY the memory of that day
when, in the presence of men and angels,
YOU promised to be faithful in joy and sor.
row. and in sickness and in health; by the
memory of those pleasant hours when you
sat together in your new home talking OF
bright future; by the cradle and the joy
eel I. sfo rQ6 and l.
other given: by that sick bed, when the
little one lifted up the hands and called for
help, and you knew he must die, and he
put one arm around each OF your necks ana
brought you very near together in that
dying kiss; by the little grave in Green
wood that you never think of without
rush of tears by the family Bible, where,
amidst stories of heavenly love, is the brlef
but expressive record of births and deaths;
by the neglects of the past, and by the
agonies of the future; by a judgment day,
when husbands and wives, parents and
children, in immortal groups, will stand to
be caught up in shining array or to shrink
down into darkness; by all that, beg you
give to home your best affections.
All, my friends, there is an hour coming
when our past life will probably pass be-
fore us in review. 1t will be our last hour.
If from our death pillow we have to look
back and see life spent in sinful amuse-
ment there will be dart that will strike
through our soul sharper than the dagger
with which Virginius slew his child. The
memory of the past will make us quake
like Macbeth. The iniquities and rioting
through which we have passed will come
upon us, weird and skeleton as Meg Mer-
rifles. Death. the old Shylock, will de-
mand aud take the remaining pound of
flesh, and the remaining drop of blood,
and upon our last opportunity for repent
ance and our last chance for heaven the
curtain will forever drop.
