AN ALLIANCE SCHEME.
To Place Subtreasuries in the Hands OF
Private Capitalists.

To Place Subtreasuries in the Hands of
Private Capitalists.
Topeka, Kan, June S.-The Alliance
executive committee of Kansas is con-
sidering scheme which practically
places the sub-treasury plan of the Ma
tional Farmers alliance in the hands of
private capitalists. j. G. Hopkins, who
was delegate from the New York
Economic club at the Cincinnati con-
vention, is the originator of the scheme.
The plan is to establish bank in each
county of the state under the direction
of the local Alliance exchange. The
capital stock is to be furnished by pri-
vate subscription. In connection with
each bank an elevator or store house is
to be built. A farmer may then dump
his grain, corn or cotton into the store
house, receiving for it check for 80 per
cent of the value of the grain deposited
by paying small percentage for stor-
age and insurance. He will be allowed
to keep his grain in the depository until
such time as he may deem it best to
place it upon the market. The amount
of produce deposited in this way must
not exceed the amount of stock SUBJ
scribed for the bank. The checks to be
issued by these banks are peculiarly de-
vised and printed in colors. These
checks are made payable in gold or sill
yer at any of the banks run in this man
ner. 1t is intended that they shall be
circulated as money

ARABIAN HORSES.

Their characteristics Compared with
Those of American Trotters.
There are hundreds of horses called
Arab in America which have no right to
the name. Almost every spotted horse
or scalico" horse is said to be more or
less Arab, while it is stated as a positive
fact by no less an authority than John
81. Wallace that an Arab may be of any
color in the world but spotted. No Arab
is calico in color. 1t is an exceedingly
difficult thing to get pure bred Arab
The Bedouin chief will not sell one at
any price, and the only ones procured
are secured by raids on the tribes of the
Euphrates valley.
In the whole United States there are
only three strictly pure bred Arabian
horses. Two of these are the stations
Leopard and Linden Tree, which were
presented to General Grant by the sui
tan of Turkey, and mare called Naomi,
which has been imported from England.
Of the two Grant stations Leopard is
not at all prepotent horse and is get
ter of few foals, and Linden Tree is the
possessor of one of the ugliest tempers of
any living horse. He is SAID to be fend
incarnate, though his colts are gentle
and kind enough when properly treated.
1t is popularity of the Arabs that if
used kindly and treated with considera-
ton they are gentle and lovable.
sTo one that has gained the confidence
of an Arab horse there is the pleasure of
knowing that he associates with a brute
endowed with soul" Abuse one of
them, and you have aroused devil that
can never be subdued, for of their cour-
age there is no limit, and they will re-
sist abuse while they have life. General
Grants stallion Linden Tree is said to
have been made vicious because the man
in charge of him did not gain his conf
dence and abused him.
There is great deal of foolish senti-
ment existing about the Arab horse,
however. He has many good qualities,
is highly intelligent, quick to learn, has
rare beauty of form and rich quality, is
for saddle purposes beautifully gated,
quick and active in his movements, and
of much endurance; but when compared
with the thoroughbred race horse or the
American trotter he suffers much by the
comparison.
He lacks the size and speed of the
thoroughbred, and what spectacle a
Maud s, Jay-Eye-See, a STEAMBOAT, a
Nelson would make of the greatest trot.
ting Arab that ever lived could they meet
on a trotting track!
As a race they are handsomer than the
American trotters, many of which have
inherited Roman heads and cat hams
from the great progenitor, Rysdyk's
Hambletonian. If it could be done with.
out loss of size and speed, for the pur.
pose of giving beauty and finish to the
American trotter, it might be well to
add more of the Arab blood to the com.
posite article which goes to make up the
American trotter, but the experiment
has been tried and not found successful.
No Arab known to civilized man is SC
handsome as Manbrino Kng.-Boston

A peathbed Question.

Not long before his death Barnum
summoned his lawyer to the side of the
couch where he was lying. 81 am very
much worried" he said, "about a certain
matter, and want to consult you. My
neighbor keeps peacocks. Suppose some
of them should fly over into my yard
which they are doing all the time-and
lay some eggs here. Would those eggs
belong to me, or could my neighbor COM
pei me to give them up?"
The lawyer. having duly scratched his
head, answered.: swell, Mr.. Barnum,
must take time to look into this matter.
But the best thing for you to do would
be to keep the eggs and let your neigh
Dor sue for their possession. In that way
your rights would be determined, and
we should have a very valuable test
case" "Well," said Barnum, "while
you are looking into the matter will you
find out how it would be if the eggs
were laid by peahens?" The lawyer
swore softly to himself, but never made
any investigation. Francisco Argo-
naut.

Take a good sized bowl, fill it nearly
full of water and place it upon the floor
of the room which is not exposed to
shaking or jarring from the street
Sprinkle over the surface of the water a
coating of lycopodium powders white
substance which is sometimes used by
ladies in making their toilet, and which
can be purchased of any druggist. Next
upon the surface of this coating of white
powder make with powdered charcoal a
straight black line, say an inch or two in
length Having made this little black
mark on the surface of the contents of
the bowl, lay down upon the floor close
to the bowl stick or some other straight
object, so that it will lie exactly parallel
with the charcoal mark If the line
happens to be parallel with a crack in
the floor or with any stationary object in
the room this will serve as well.
Leave the bowl undisturbed for few
hours, and then observe the position of
the black mark with reference to the OBJ
ject it was parallel with. It will be
found to have moved about, and to have
shifted its position from east to west
that is to say, in that direction opposite
to that Of the movement of the earth
upon its axis Fhe earth in simply re-
volying has carried the water and every
thing else in the bowl around with it,
but the powder upon the surface has been
left behind little. The line will always
be found to have moved from east te
west, which is perfectly good proof tina,
everything else contained in the bow
has moved the other way.-St. Loui.
