At Kansas City. Kans., the annual
meeting of the Third Baptist church

When the wise and witty Sir
Thomas More was beheaded his head
was stuck on pole-on London Bridge,
where it was exposed for fourteen
days, much to the grief of his daugh-
ter, Margaret Roper, who resolved to
secure it. @One day." says Aubrey,
~as she was passing under the bridge,
looking at her fathers head, she ex-
claimed, That head has lain many a
time in my lap; would to God it would
fall into my lap as I pass under!'
She had her wish, and it did fall into
her lap!" Probably she had bribed one
of the keepers OF theabridge to throw
it over just as the boat approached,
and the exclamation was intended TO
avert the suspicion of the boatmen.
At all events she got possession Of it,
and preserved it with great care in a
leaden casket until her death, and it
is now inclosed in a niche in the wall
of her tomb in st. Dunstan's Church,
Canterbury.
Sir Walter Raleigh's head, in a red
bag, was carried 10 his wife, who
caused it be embalmed, and kept it
with her all her life, permitting IA
vored friends, like Bishop Goodman,
to see and even to kiss it. His son,
Carew Raleigh, .afterward preserved
it with similar piety. 1t is supposed
now to rest in. the church of West
HOrSley, Surrey.

Han in Process of Formation.

A direct observation of hail in the
process of formation is recorded by
Prof. TOsetti, who, in the afternoon
of a squally day, looking eastward
through the window Of a house in
Northern Italy, which, with two 9TH
ers, inclosed the court, saw the rain
which streamed down from the roof
to the right caught by a very cold
wind from the north, and driven
back and up in thick drops. Sudden
ly south wind blew, and the drops,
tossed about in all directions, were
transformed into iceballs. When the
south wind ceased, this transforma-
ton also ceased, but whenever the
south wind required the phenomenon
was reproduced, and this was observ-
ed three or four times in ten minutes.

Fort Scott.-The town of Hepler,
CrssFford county, has been visited by q
disastrous conAagration. The fire broke
out in the hardware store of Lewis &
Marshall, which is a total loss, as are also
the drug store of Lewis & Whitney,
Hutcbinson's livery stable, Thompson's
hotel and six other buildings. The fire
is supposed to have been the work of
an incendiary. Much of the property
is uninsured. Some of the stocks were
partly saved. The loss will aggregate
probably $4,000.
North Topeka item: George w.
Kistler, who lives about five miles north
of town, was engaged in turning his
stock out to pasture, when a colt hit a
fence rail as it ran out of the stable
and knocked it with such force against
Mr.. Kistler as to break the small bones
of his left leg at the ankle. He man
aged to crawl to the house after the ac-
cident occurred. Dr.. Ryder was sum-
moned from town and dressed his ankle.
Mr.. Klstler is nearly blind and So years
old, and this additional misfortune will
go hard with him.
awrence.-The first regular confer
ence of Indian workers ever called to-
gether by official orders had a three
days session here. There were about
fifty workers in attendance, and every
Indian school of Importance in the
United States was represented. The
object is to exchange experiences, make
/
and to devise ways and means to fur
ther the Indian school work. Those in
attendance were very enthusiastic work
ers, and speak with great confidence Of
the good results of the work the schools
are doing is sure to bring about.
Kansas City, Kan.-Workmen on the
second floor of the main building at
Armour's were treated to little expe-
rience they do not care to have repeat
ed. A new ammonia pipe had just been
put up to convey ammonia from the
ammonia room to the cooler, and was
being tested under a high pressure
when it suddenly exploded with a loud
report The pipe being broken allowed
the deadly gas to pour out in abun-
dance and at the imminent danger OF
the lives of the wOrkmen. All who
were near were thrown down, and Viii
Taylor was painfully bruised while an
other laborer was severely cut on the
arm by a knife he held when he fell
All the workmen suffered severely from
the escaping gas before it was shut off
but all had about recovered by night.

STOCK AND FARM.

Long Island Leader: Robert Doug
lass took two car loads of fat COWS to
Kansas City markets. They were all
his raising, on his farm three miles be-
low town.
Osborne News: About 1000 head of
sheep are being wlntered by j. Q. Fos-
ter, of Hancock. He has let ont about
800 on shares, to Missouri parties.
Taking things altogether, Mr.. Foster is
we'll satisfied with the seasons work,
from fiockmaster's standpoint.
Washington Republican: For the
last six years Washington county has
been either first or second in the num-
Der of bushels OF corn ralsed. The
crop this year is about 100000 bush
els. The price paid at the various sta
tions in the county is from % to 80
cents bushel.
Colby Tribune: The late rain and
the snow storm were the heaviest ever
known at this time of year in this To-
cality. The ground is saturated to a
considerable depth and will remain
moist all winter and far into the spring,
when the regular spring rains will
undoubtedly insure even a greater
wheat crop than that of last year.
Heretofore the damage to the wheat
crop was principally caused by a lack
of moisture in the fall, which is now
entirely obviated.
Colby Tribune: A bank at Hoxie
raised $50 tons of broom corn on one
farm the past season. This represent
a money value of more than $4,000
and a net profit of $4,000. Broom
corn is not only the most profitable but
the most certain crop for western Kan
sas and our farmers should give it
more attention. It would be a good
idea to form an association for the more
extended cultivation of it, and Colby's
business men shOuld take an active in
terest in the matter.
ElDorado Republican: W. d. Can.
non, one of the early settlers of Butler
county, is seen on our streets almost
daily. In conversation with him we
were surprised at his enthusiasm. He
said farm mortgages had no terrors fol-
him. He spoke of his two or three
hundred acre home farm and his section
of land on west branch of Whitewater

landed possessions. AS hard as times
were last year. he paid of a $4,000
mortgage. Mr.. Cannon has made

1t Was a woman.

A man was standing on the curb
stone looking at a street Yender's sale
recently, when a horses head ap-
peared over his shoulder.

the sidewalk and give folks in the
street a chance for their liYes?"
Then he jumped back as a whip
struck the horse, and as he looked
after the retreating vehicle he
chuckled:

A semi-fendish delight often seems to
possess people of strong nerves IN sneering at
those with weak ones. The irritability of the
nervous hypochondriaci is ridiculed as natural
IL temper. The very genuine and distressing
symptoms from which he suffers are made
light of "He'' or ''she is a crank" is the
cheerful sort of sympathy with which the
nervous invalid meets from the unfeeling and
the thoughtless. At the same time no CON-
plant is more defined and real, none has q
more easily ezplainable origin when it il
chronic. Imperfect digestion and asslmi-
iation are elways accompanied by nervous
debility and anxiety. Build up the powers OF
