RAINFALL AND TEMPERATURE.

Population In the Cnited- States Densest
with Moderate Rainfall.
The census bureau has ascertained
that the main body of the population of
the country inhabits the region in which
the annual rainfall is between so and so
inches, three-fourths of the inhabitants
or Whereabouts being found there. On
either side, as the rainfall increases or
diminishes. the population diminishes
rapidly.
The arid region of the west, says the
Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegrap where
the rainfall is less than so inches-a re-
gion which comprises two-ffths of the
entire area of the country-contains at
present less than per cent of the
population The greatest density of
population is in the area enjoying from
40 to so inches of annual rainfall, the
average of this region being SO inhabit-
ants to the square mile.
The most favorable conditions of hu-
man life would seem to exist where it is
neither too wet nor too dry. and we
have had an illustration of this lately
in the large increase of the death rate
from diseases induced or fostered by ex-
cessively wet weather.
The census bureau also Investigated
the distribution of population with ref
erence to the mean annual tempera-
ture. Elaborate tables are given
which show that in 1870. 1880 and 1890.
more than half the population was liv-
ing under a temperature between IS
and So degrees. and that between As
and 60 were found from 40 to IS per
cent. of the inhabitants. Only trif1e
over per cent were living where the
temperature was greater than 20 de-
grees, while in the region whose tenn
perature was above T5 degrees the num-
Der of inhabitants was trihing.
The number of inhabitants to the
square mile not only expresses the dem
sity of population but also gives a
comparative measure Of the absolute
number and the increase in absolute
number.
The greatest density is and has been.
since 1870. where the temperature
ranges from SO to So degrees From
this as q maximum it diminiShes rap
idly both with an increase and decrease
in temperature. The most rapid pro-
portional increase in population has
taken place at the two extremes, where
it has trebled during the twenty years
intervening between 1870 and 1890.
while in the same time it has increased
but so per cent. in the most densely Set
tied group.
The average annual temperature OF
the United States, excluding Alask a
from consideration, is So degrees The
average annual temperature under
which the people of the country live.

Kentucky Animal That Carries Deep
Scar from the Mexican War.
The Oldest horse on record is owned
by Mai. Robert Mas. of Louisville, KY.
who possesses papers proving its age to
be something over forty-seven years.
says the Memphis Commercial ivan
hoe, as he is called, is large bay
with white spot on his forehead, and,
up to a few years ago. of a gentle. af-
fectionate disposition. but has grown
peevish and capricious with his increas-
ing age This, however, is only shown
toward strangers, while he is devoted to
his master and his children, who play
about him with perfect fearlessness
Ivanhoe was stolen several times dur
ing the civil war, but Invariably made
his way back in safety to his pasture
having contrived in some way to escape
from his captors-
He bears on the right flank the scar
of a gunshot wound received in the
Mexican war. at the battle of Buena
Vista, while ridden by Maj Mas
grandfather. It is over thirty years
since Ivanhoe has known bride or har-
ness, but spends his days strolling about
his pasture, into which he will allow
no other horses to be placed, but will
resent all intrusions with vigorous
use of his teeth and heels His facul-
ties all appear unimpaired. with the ex-
ception of total deafness, resulting
from a severe attack Of disease prev
alent a few years ago
Far from being feeble. Ivanhoe moves
briskly about, and will often permit two
or three of the younger children to
mount and ride him about the pasture
He has, however, lost nearly all of his
teeth. and lives upon boiled corn and
other soft food. He made his last ap-
pearance in public at the cattle fair held
in Lexington last fall, and came home
completely denuded of his name and
tail, by people securing thus relics of

The Alliance and Prohibition.

The Emporia Republican speaking of
an article in the Beacon in reference to
the position of the alliance on the pro-
hibition question says that $50 far as
Kansas is concerned, this decision indi-
Gates that the alliance is well satisfied
with the states present policy. And
such supposition is entirely reason
able. A large portion of the alliance
membership is made up of men who
supported and maintained prohibition
in past years, and the arguments in
favor Of its perpetuatlon are just as
strong and conclusive now as they ever
were. The probability is, therefore,
that in appealing to the new organiza-
ton to restore the saloon, the Beacon
and it's friends are in as hopeless en-
ployment as when they were urging the
democratic forces forward. Prohibi-
ton, it grows more and more apparent
every year, has come to stay, and grow
up with the country
That is proof that the Beacon was
right when it said the republican party
of Kansas is going to throw prohibition
overheard next fall and that the g. o.
p. hopes the alliance or peoples party
will pick it up. The republican party
with majority of more than $4,000 in
this state Endorsed prohibition and be-
cause of that Endorsement has become
minority party. If the republicans
can succeed in making the people be-
lieve that the peoples party is the real
prohibition party they know the people
will repudiate it as they have repudi-
ated the republican party.
Nobody knows better than Governor
Eskridge that the republican leaders do
not intend to indorse prohibition in
their next platform. By their action in
the legislature the members of the peo-
pies party are partially committed to
prohibition and the republican party is
going to hold them to it if possible.
Prohibition is dead in Kansas and if
the peoples party leaders do not repud-
ate the unpopular issue they will all be
in their little political graves in two
years from this time.
Governor Eskridge tells the peoples
party that prohibit on has come to stay,
and grow up with the country, but he
don't intend to let the republican party
take any chances of growing up with it.
He is, however, willing and even anx.
ious that the peoples party should try
the experiment. The peoples party
leaders will try it if they are set of
chumps.-Wichita Beacon.

WHO has better right to go into
politics than the farmer? Nobody.
The farmer is the mainstay of our
land; but when he goes into politics he
should 60 into the kind that has some
hope of winning, and has some pros
pect of beingsable to bring about fair
adjustment of the laws of the land.
The farmer has no right, however, to
form monopoly, trust, or combine
that will tend to make other men of
industry, the day laborer, or mechanic,
pay more than just price for the
products of the soil. All men have an
equal right to go Into politics." and
If all men would take more interest in
politics, and study the different phases
of politics, the general public would be
better served.

Education in Egypt.

Education is making great strides in
Egypt, and the natives are beginning
to show appreciation of the advantages
of the reorganized government schools
In 1887 there were only twelve schools
under the minister of public instruction,
with an attendance of 1,919 pupils, of
whom only SO per cent paid fees, and
the total receipts were 1900. Last
year the number of these schools
throughout the country, as far south as
Assuan, open to all races and creeds,
was fOrty-Seven; the attendance was
1907, OF whom 62 per cent were paying
pupils, and the receipts reached nearly
100000. The increase is significant, as
education is not compulsory 1t is a
rule, however. that all pupils must
learn either English or French, and it is
significant that whereas in 1889 only
IA per cent. of them selected English.
in 1890 the proportion rose to % per
cent

the kettle, the contents will boil quicker
and the lellies be q better color. A
porcelain lined kettle, as broad and
shallow as possible, is the best to use
for making Jellies. Next to that, agate
or granite ware should be used, rather
than one of the old-fashioned brass or
copper kettles. In using these, there
is too great a risk of verdigrls, from
the action of the fruit acids on the
metal. Tin or iron kettles are entirely
out of the question, as they would az

Two contiguous sides OF a square,
twenty or more inches long, should be
sewed together in what is called a ''pud-
ding-bag seam," which is strong and
smooth. To make this seam, sew the
two edges together, turn the bag, and
stitch a seam which will inclose the
edges. This will make q pointed bag,
and if the top is cut square across and
hemmed wide enough to admit two
drawing-strings OF stout tape, they will
serve to suspend the bag while the
Jelly is dripping, and will also keep it
closed, and SO prevent the flavor from
