Ten years ago, when you wanted to
go any place in your neighborhood,
you just got into your wagon and took
bee line for the place and there was
nothing to interfear or interrupt your
progress, but now you have to follow

encloses every field.
Henry Lanterman of the south side
traded farms with H. F. Panning last
week. He traded two hundred acres
for three hundred and pays a differ
ence of 81, 500. His reasons for trad.
ing was that his first farm was too
small. It has not been many years
since a farmer thought any sized farm
in Kansas was too large. but those days
are now past and all the farmers like
Mr.. Lanternman are striving to get as
large farms as possible.
Coyotes must be thick in the country,
as they can be heard bowling near the
city limits nearly any night. 1t seems
to disturb the city dogs wonderful and
| after the coyotes howl the first two or
three times nearly every dog in town
| joins in the chorus. This is very pleas
ant music and Iulls tired person to
sleep instantly. 1t is a pity the coyotes
don't com in and carry the worthless
ours away with them.

There are three important times in a
mans ife-when he is born, when be

then his own importance is overshad
owed by the curiosity to know if he is {

what he left in his will.

that several of the boys were yankee
last week for playing football in th'
streets, and the boys are getting righ
onto the rumps of the officers for pull
ing them and letting the joints anc

Dangerous Germs in Ice.

So far as the salubrity of the natural
as compared with the artificial ice is
concerned, we may rest assured that as
regards bacteria one is just as whole
some as the other, provided the water
used is pure. If the water is impure
from sewage or other unwholesome
thing, then the natural ice is never fit
for domestic use. If water is impure
the processes of artificial icemaking, if
carefully performed, are capable of fur
nishing even from it q product which is
harmless and wholesome, whether it be
absolutely germ free or not, for abso-
lutte freedom from germs-if these are
not disease producing forms-is neither
necessary nor especially desirable. 1t is
not bacteria, but disease producing bac-
terra, which make of practical signifi-
canoe the invisible flora of either water
or ice.-T. Mitchell Prudden in Har-
per's.

Curious Instruments of Torture.

In an old tower in Nuremburg there
is q room set apart especially for the
preservation of the curious instruments
of torture used during the uncertain
period historically referred to as the
Middle Ages. In that room you can
see thumbscrews of the most approved
pattern closely arranged along shelves
filed with "liar helmets" and "bridles'
for gossiping women. One horrid relic
called the "spike Wheel" is a heavy
cylinder, on one side of which stand out
two OF more score of sharp iron spikes
In days of old, when an offender had
been sentenced to undergo ''rolling"
he was stripped naked and firmly bound
on plank, face down. In this position
the "spike wheer' was slowly dragged
up and down his back, the number of
times depending upon the gravity of the
crime and the wording of the sentence.
In several instances the poor victims
were prodded so full of holes that they
died before they could be removed from
the plank. When death was intended
the number of 'srolls' was not speci-
fed. but double length spikes, heated
red hot, were put in the surface of the
cylinder. This mode of carrying out
capital punishment was hardly as expe-
ditious as the guillotine, but it was
equally as certain.-St. Louis Republic

The Mockingbird in California.

Some of my most intimate acquaint
ances have been the mockingbirds in
the California groves. 1t seems almost
unnecessary to cage them, they are SC
happy among the ever blooming trees
but cages hang in balconies, at doors
and windows, all about the courts and
under the caves, and passing down the
streets one hears at all hours gushes of
melody from the wonderful mimickers
in their prisons. 1t is a cheerful sound,
yet l like better to listen to them as they
fit at will where the red pornegranates
flower, where the wild figs rear their
massive canopies, where they may hide
their young as they choose in the fra
grant orange trees tops.
One splendid fellow has his perch on
windmill fan opposite my door, where
all day long he pours out trills raptur-
GUS with glee. Some mornings he is in
such ecstasy that he bubbles down his
notes in snatches, wasting no time in
weaving them together, whenever l ap-
pear on the doorstep. Iknow he watches
for my coming, for he apparently boards
his musical culver full of gay darts.

The Birdsnests That Men Eat.

The swifts arrive in the Andaman
islands toward the end of November,
but they take their time in building the
nests, which are formed from gelatin
GUS secretion from the salivary glands of
those beautiful members of the swallow
tribe.
If there has been wet December the
first crop of nests is generally poor
one, being soiled by the damp and drip
pings from the roofs of the caves. Col
lectors, however, begin in January to go
around the island to the different caves
in an open boat The best quality re-
semble pure isinglass, and are worth
their weight in silver. Afterward there
are two other collections. The caves in
which the nests are found are scattered
about the islands; some are far inland,
others in rocks concealed in mangrove
swamps. London News.
