THIS is the way the farmers do it in
this part of the country and the state
ment can be relied upon as correct: At
least one-half Of the farmers will put
out two hundred acres or more of wheat
and from this up to six hundred acres,
and they do it but with little help eth
er. Farm work can be done with much
less labor than anywhere else.-Mc-

The Terrible Abomn..

In "Stedman's Expedition to Surinam"
the following wonderful account of the
aboma or dragon is given: "This re-
markable creature is called aboma in
the colony of Surinam. Its length,
when full grown, is often more than
forty feet, its body being four feet and
over in circumference. Its color is u
greenish black on the back, a fine yellow
on the sides and dirty white on the
belly, the back and sides being spotted
with irregular black rings, with pure
white spot in the center of EACH Its
head is broad and fat, small in proper
ton to its body, with large mouth and
teeth set in double rows. 1t has two
bright, prominent eyes, is covered all
over with scales about the size of shill-
ing, and has two sharp claws under the
belly near the tail which it uses in seiz-
ing its prey.
at is an amphibious animal, that is, it
delights in low, marshy places. where it
lies concealed under fallen timber, ready
to seize its prey, which, from its inn
mense bulk, it is not active enough to
pursue. When hungry it will devour
any animal that comes within its reach,
and is Indifferent il it be sloth, wild
boar, stag or tiger. After twisting
itself about the body Of buffalo, a stag
or tiger, by help of its claws, it breaks
every bone in the poor victims body. l
have been told of negroes being deyoured
by this snake and am not disposed to
discredit the story. He bites from no
other impulse but that Of hunger and is
not yenomous."

Crime in tho Air.

1t has been frequently noticed that
there are epidemics of robberies as we'll
as of suicides and other crimes. A GRIM
inal epidemic, peculiar to q half dozen
large cities of the United States that
have large and vicious population, is
that of Sunday murders, which are the
results of day of idleness. Then,
again, murders with peculiar features
often occur in groups in all parts of the
country. In France there is tradition,
centuries old, that epidemics of suicide
return in regular cycles, at each recur-
renee of the suicidal Juror the success
sive victims of their own murderous
hands vieing with one another in the
greater ghastliness of the tragedy that
they enact.
Stories of wife murders in various
parts of the country, relieved by few
exceptional murders of husbands by
by their wives, reach the press stimuli
taneously from many different sources.
Murder is in the air" has become q
stereotyped expression among newspaper
men and detectives, who know from ex-
perience that such epidemics will run
their cycles and cause many bloody
records to be made before they have
spent their fury.
With bank robberies it is the same.
1t is not often that single robbery is
made-one is sure to breed others; ''they
come not singly, but in whole battal-
IONS" This is not because the same
gang engages in many different enter
prises, but because universal similar
impulse permeates the minds Of the
classes devoted to that form of guilt

Cruelty to Lohntsrn.

1t is singular how the cruel practice
of boiling Holsters alive continues. Our
forefathers--an indeed, our parents
let calves bleed slowly to death, on the
theory that in no other way could white
meat be secured, and later on calves
were bled one day and killed the next.
Now every one knows that calf can be
killed in humane manner and the veal
made just as good. Hogs are largely
killed by electricity instead of by tho
old barbarous method; and, generally
speaking, animals killed for food have
been put out of the way in much more
humane manner than formerly. But
Holsters are still tortured out of exist
ence, the only difference being that,
while formerly they were exclusively
boiled to death, now some are boiled
and some broiled. Which process causes
tho most agony no one can say.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat

"You didn't want satin ribbon?o
a Thought Measurlng MaehIne.

DIR. J. K McKatterell has constructed
an ingenious apparatus by which he can
determine, with considerable degree
of accuracy, the time It takes to think,
and has experimental with many inter-
esting results. He has shown that to
see a piece of white paper and be con-
scious of the fact takes one-twentieth Of
a second; to see picture takes one-tenth
of n second; to see u letter of common
print, one-eighth of a second; to see a
full word, one-seventh of a second; to be
able to Judge between red and blue, one
thisteenth of second.
He has also proved that to see some
words and letters requires more time
than others. By this same machine,
with some added pieces of mechanism,
the time of remembering can also be ac-
curately measured. According to the
learned M. d. and his curious little ma
chine, it takes much less time to remem-
Der the name of familiar word than it
does the name OF letter, and we are
all supposed to be very we'll acquainted
with the names of the letters Of the al
phabet. This seems strange, especially
when we take into consideration the
fact that we can see the letter in less
time than We can the word.
The name of the next month to come
can be thought of in less time than that
of the last. This machine also shows
that sensations travel by the nerves to
the brain at the rate of one mile per
minute, much slower than has been sup
posed. st. Louis Republic.

1t gives some women a deep anda al
most oppressive sense of responsibility
70 be intrusted with the selection Of. a
pair Of gloves or "a yard of ribbon for
another woman. at isn't for myself"
said an anxious looking customer at the
ribbon counter of large dry goods
store one afternoon when the clerks
were busiest. eff it was for myself /
should know exactlyfwhat / wanted and
wouldn't waste any time over it,
But
''Did you say dark or light green rib
bong" asked the. clerk.
'She said dark, and yet not too dark,
so don't exactly know what to get. If
were going to use itmyself"-
"How would this dor"
"Well, hardly know. 1t seems a
trihe light to me, and yet maybe it
wouldn't be. l don't know just what
it's to be used for, which makes the mat
ter all the more perplexing."
"How wide did you want it2"
"She said from two and u half to three
inches, which is Of course rather indefi-
mite. It's for friend of mine living in
M, and she simply wrote for yard
of dark green ribbon, from two and a
half to three inches wide, at from thirty
to forty cents yard, and am puzzled
to know just what to get. If it were for
myself
you didn't want satin ribbon?"
''She didn't say, and I don't know
whether to get satin or grosgrain or wa
tered ribbon, or ribbon with a plain,
corded or picot edge, or what. Every
thing is so indefinite about it. II knew
what she wanted it for, or had some lit
tie hint to go by, or if it were for myself
but as it is, I'm entirely in the dark"
81 think, on the whole, I'd better
write and get more definite information
before selecting anything. Yes, that's
what I'll do, and then I'll not make any
mistake. YOUTHS Companion.

Unclaimed Funds.

There are tens of thousands of dollars
lying in the vaults of the subtreasury in
New York which belong to pensioners.
Checks have been issued probably COW
ering the whole amount. but from one
cause or another the money has never
been claimed. The checks have never
been presented. The money stands to
the credit of the various pension agents
acting as disbursing officers of the gov
eminent. An account with one of these
officials is never closed until all the
checks come in and no more are to come.
He may have overdrawn. There is no
way to determine this until everything
is squared up.-New York Herald.

gate were the people, excited by having
taken the palace and by the massacre of
the Swiss, which had occupied them
nearly all day.
In crossing the garden my grandfather
noticed child who had been hit by a
bullet and was moaning on the ground
surrounded by several persons. He
walked straight to the group, lifted the
child in his arms without saying word,
and went on toward the gate, walking
slowly and apparently quite absorbed in
comforting the little child. His face was
thus concealed as he reached the gate
and ordered the crowd aside.
He was allowed to pass unsupported,
and still protected by his precious bur-
den he passed through the streets and
neared the Jacksonville mansion. Then
he left the child and a sum of money
with physician, with instructions that
the little one should be given the best of

Protantad hxa CHILLI

The grandson of Count d'Hausson-
vile in La Vie de Mon Pere relates
how the noted royalist escaped from
the mob on the terrible Aug. 10, 1892:
My grandfather did not emigrate.
Louis XVI, who had confidence in his
rare courage and entire devotion, had
made him promise not to leave him, and
he was always one of those who in mo-
ments Of danger hastened to the Tuil-
cries to defend the royal family. He
was with the king throughout the 10th
OF August. When the royal family left
the legislative assembly he found him
self In position of great danger.
He took advantage of the semitwi-
light In the lobby to destroy his lace
ruffies and hid his gold laced hat and his
sword under the seats.
Then he Joined the crowd which was
leaving the hall and the offices. But the
difficulty was to pass from the entrance
to the assembly hall to the gate Of the
drawbridge. of the Tuileries without be-
ing recognized. In this space and at the

How tho Kangaroo Fights.

The kangaroo fights with great ad-
dress and intelligence, and if he can find
q stream or water hole in which to await
his foes will station himself waist deep
in 1t, and pushing the dogs under one by
one as they swim out to attack hin
either drown them outright or compel
them to retire for want of breath.
Against human enemies, armed only
with clubs or stirrup irons, the kangaroo
often shows himself clever boxer, ward
ing off blows very dexterously with his
forepaws, and now and then making for
ward bounds, with rapid play of his dam
gerous hind feet, which are difficult to
avoid. Boston Journal.

Tho Broncho.

The genuine broncho pony is q Won
derful product of our western prairies.
He is the great friend of the Indians and
the invaluable companion of the cow
boys, from whom he has received his
various descriptive terms Of the kicking
broncho," the "bucking broncho" and the
stubborn broncho." These terms have
become so closely associated with tho
pony that one can hardly imagine the
existence of a broncho minus all Of these
negative virtues. Yet when kindly treat
ed they make staunch friends, and unless
provoked to it they will hold their bad
qualities in reserve until some stranger
comes near them. New York Epoch.
