The Committee on Public Lands of the House
Yellowstone Park leases, had e. G. Waters, for
merly General Manager of the Yellowstone
Park Association, before them last week. A
letter was produced which was written by Mr..
Waters to Director Of the Park Association,
about setting aside s. 900 of the Association 9
stock for Mr. Russell Harrison, and Mr.. Waters
was asked to tell whether the stock was in
tended as a gift or q consideration. Mr..
Waters said he wanted Mr.. Harrison to have
the stock, as he felt that he might want Mr.
Harrison to do something for him; but what he
did was right aud proper. Mr.. Harrison, he
said, when he heard that the stock was to be
given him, said that he was very sorry to hear
of it, as it might be used to injure him.

It has been decided to remove Mrs. Harrison

A Grain Ration for Steers ON eras

A Grain Ration for steers on Grass.
A Missouri correspondent writes that
he has bunch Of steers in good feshy
condition, weighing about 1900 pounds
each, that he wishes to sell in Deem
Der. Grass is ,washy and he thinks Of
feeding grain ration to hurry up the
fattening process and make, more solid
beef. Corn is fifty-six cents per bushel,
bran ten dollars per ton, oilmeal twenty
two. He inquiries what form of ration
would recommend, the whole to cost
say fifteen or sixteen cents per head per
day. The pastures are bluegrass, timo-
thy and white clover. s ..,..g
1 At the prices named bran is the cheap
est feed in the list and should use it
literally in the ration. Start with ten
pounds Of bran and five of corn. This
will cost ten cents per head per day.
AS the fattening period progresses corn
will come down in price and should be
increased in the ration, cutting down on
the bran. Some oilmeal might be fed
also toward the close of the period, espe-
cially for the purpose of making a glossy
coat and giving the animal a finished
appearance. It is little unusual to rec
ommend bran for fattening steers, but
in case like this should not hesitate
for moment to use it in the way here
mentioned. The nitrogen and phosphates

Cousoltag a Donkey,

A certain lawyer of New York city,
who is distinguished not only in his pro-
fession, but as a man of affairs, owns a
delightful summer home in Vermont
His neighbors there tell this story about
his youngest child, girl not more than
ten years of age. After much coaxing
this little girl had prevailed upon her
father to buy her a donkey and a cart.
The first day of the donkey's arrival he
was permitted to browse on the lawn.
The child followed the little animal
about, and thinking that his counte-
nance wore an uncommonly sad expires
sion, she cautiously approached him, and
stroking his nose gently with her soft
little hands cooed in his ear: Poor DON
key! you feel lonesome. don't your But

most faithful churchgoer ever produced

FASHIONS FANCIES.

Pretty belt buckles are made of Rus
Nan enamel.
Gauntlet cuffs are worn on all varie-
ties of sleeves.
The half handkerchief and the Nor
mandy are the most striking of the new
bonnet shapes.
A new glove feature is the cuff, which
is not a gauntlet, but a straight cuff,
made by pipings of contrasting color
white ON dark tints, dark on light.
Fine broadcloth is used for expensive
capes. A bright canary color makes
one which is worth looking at. The
capes are of various lengths, but
whether long or short are topped by
cape collars, gathered or jaboted.
Velvet is used on even the coarsest
cloth. A favorite disposition of it is the
trimming of the cloth cuff with a velvet
band sewed down on all edges, and a
big button at each end. If the velvet is
used to face the cuff almost to the back
no buttons are employed.
Much white matelasse is to be used
for opera wraps, and white and gold
passementerie fringe will be a favorite
trimming. White passementerie is of.
fered in large variety in the trimming
stores, and is so pretty that every WON
an who looks at it will wish to find
some use for it.-New York Times.

In order that the readers of the HER
AID and WORLD may not consider us
dilatory in the matter of the publication
of the proceedings of the board of county
commissioners we desire TO state that
we publish the record as fast as copy
can be obtained from the clerk of the
board. Frequent requests and protests
on our part avail nothing. The matter
is published by us verbatim at consid-
cradle cost and without pay from the
county. We would very much prefer
to have 1t fresh and know full well that
our readers would also, but unfortun-
ately the law does not require publica-
ton oftener than once a month and
therefore the delay in furnishing the
copy is entirely legal even if it is ex-
tremely vexatious to the publishers
and the people.

AS an instance of the use that can be
made of supposed waste products may
be mentioned 'isoprene," one of the sub
stances left from the distillation of crude
rubber to get the pure gum. 1t has been
found that if this isoprene be treated
with certain chemicals it will produce a
real elastic rubber as good as the best.
Another discovery is worth noting in
connection with india rubber. Isoprene
has lately been found in paying quaint
ties in turpentine. When treated as the
other product is, with the chemicals, the
result is an elastic rubber which seems
in all respects like the real gum elastic.
Now, if the waste product isoprene can
be turned into genuine india rubber, and
isoprene is also to be found in turpen-
tine, and this, too, can be turned into
genuine rubber, perhaps the manufac-
turers of rubber goods will not any long
er need to adulterate the rubber of COM
merce to such an extent that articles
made from it are not worth carrying
home.

W omen ana numor.

Every once in awhile comes the Young
man-who-knows-it-all and explains to
us why women are lacking in the sense
of humor. This time it is Mr. Stinson
Jarvis, writing in The Century Maya
zine. Mr.. Stinson Jarvis says it is be-
cause women must always have some
thing to adore, though why the neces-
sity of having something to worship
should interfere with seeing the fun in
the world is not plain to anybody but
Mr.. Stinson Jarvis. If the sex have any
humor at all in their souls they will get
considerable amusement out of the
article in The Century, part of which is
as follows:
Dazzled by her ideals, blind to all else when
gazing on her idols, woman does not arrive at
the comprehensive and whimsical view Of the
humorist, and consequently loses in her writ
ing the great moral uses of the sense of alb
surdity, which has done more to kill out error
than all the argument of centuries, and has
made Americans a free people more than any
declaration of Independence that ever was
signed
Again, women generally exist in one Of two
conditions-the imagining of happiness to
come, or the seeking for consolation because it
is lost or never arrives. Now this makes
them, in a limited way, much more serious
than the men who have given up hoping for
ecstasy and have learned to smile or try to
smile at all life as IL comes. This serious con-
centration. this continuous necessity for max
ing herself, for either joy or consolation, part
of an adored idol; this picturesque passion for
reverential wonderment; this utter disregard
for a raison d'etre in anything she desires-all
these phases are poles apart from the mind
that has been hammered by the brutality Of
truth into seeing the world as IL is. and can
pause to portray the humorous side of its
events.
The study of George Eliot and her works
goes far to suggest that for some time female
humorists will be scarce. She, more than any
other authorizes, attained the general view
But always present with her was her woman's
hunger for something to adore, and she never
recovered from the heart starvation which
perfect education and love for truth forced
upon her. With her insight into human ma
ture, even her satire was full of fathomless
compassion that yearned over the very weak
nesses she amused us with, and bravely she
faced the eternal impossibilities, her sex's alb
solute need for a certainty, and the divinity of
her ideals, made it impossible for her to be
content with the humorist's conviction that
this world, apart from its tragedy. is highly
absurd.
Speaking vaguely, then, men may become
humorists as they find that they know moth
ing. Women are not humorists because they
never cease to think they know something.
Meantime, are women destitute of the
sense Of humor?

Annexation Is Nothing New,

So long ago as 1878, when the original
articles of confederation were adopted
by the founders of this republic, it was
believed by the farseeing ones among
them that Canada would ultimately
want to be united with the United States.
1t is especially interesting and important
TO note that the view taken by the states
men of the infant republic was exactly
the same as that held by intelligent
Americans today on this subject. 1t
was that Canada might come in OF stay
out, just as she wished. They would
welcome her and let her be one of our
magnificent sisterhood if of her own free
will she expressed wish to Join us;
otherwise not. But they seem TO have
foreseen the commercial necessity that
would in time draw the northern colony
into the Union. II is another remark
able instance of the wisdom of the earli-
est American statesmen.
The few American states adopted the
original articles of confederation, which
preceded the United States constitution,
in 177S. We are reminded by Mr.. Gill
bert Shaw, in 1.-The Magazine of Ameri-
can History" that article II of the doc
ument read as follows:
Canada, according to this confederation and
joining In the measures of the United States
shall be admitted into and entitled TO all the
advantages of this Union, but no other colony
shall be admitted into the same unless such
admission be agreed upon by nine states.
Thus it appears that if we let in any
outsiders at all, Canada will be our first
choice.
