The Monitor gives as a reason for
the rise Of the calamity
party" in the west and northwest
that the farmers who were strug.
CLING to make for themselves and fam
lilies homes upon the lands the Re-
publican party had given them under
the provisions OF the homestead and
presumption laws, were poor. The
failure Of each succeeding CROP" it
says, reduced them financially lower
until in their desperation they were
willing to believe that the govern
ment, and especially the Republican
party, was responsible for their mis-
fortunes. We have never yet seen a
calamity paper" which so grossly
slandered Kansas. This editorial as
sumes that every crop has been a
failure since the settlers came here.

has proverbially turned out more
grain than any other state in the
union. "Stand up for Kansas"

1t is a pretty stale chestnut, that
story about the Peoples party being
waited in by the hot winds. As a
matter of fact the Alliances were
nearly all organized and the agitation
against the unequal conditions had
its birth in year of plenty when
corn went down to ten cents per BUSH

corn as cheap or cheaper than tn H..

that bad crops gave birth to the Peo-

Ver1nin in a Hennery.

To free a hennery from vermin.
spray thoroughly with kerosene en-
ulsion, so as to fill every crack and
crevice with the liquid. The trouble
with either whitewash or fumigation
is that they fail to go the bottom of
the hiding place of the vermin. The
emulsion gets there. To make the
emulsion for this purpose, take Of
hard soap one-half pound, or of soft
soap two quarts, and one gallon Of
boiling water; stir until the soap is
all dissolved, then add one quart Of
kerosene, stirring until well mixed.
An egg-beater is good thing to mix
with, or small force pump is better
TO pump it back into itself. When
thoroughly united, add 10 gallons
Of water, and stir we'll. With a
force pump spray the inside Of a
house and roosts or, In the absence
Of pump apply with brush sponge
or large cloth. No matter what, If
it be bountifuilv used. 1t is a capt.

Bel,s Little Adventure.

One morning little Bel was sent by
her mamma TO the button store" to
match a spool of silk, says the Dolls
Dressmaker. She had often been
trusted on such errands though only
years old, and very proud she used
to feel as she trugged along "helping
mamma" "Be sure and get Just that
shade of blue and come right back,
little daughter" said mamma, as she
kissed her good-by. "Yes, ma'am,
was the sturdy answer. Now on the
way to the button store" there was
fruit stand, and Bel often used to
look at it with longing eyes. This
morning she saw something she had
not seen for long time-great,
beautiful red bananas. II Bel liked
anything in the world it was a ba-
mana. She wondered how much they
would cost. Then she thought she
would ask. Five cents" Why, she
had just cents in her fat fingers
that very minute! Before you could
think, she hadn't cents at all, but
had the banana instead. Do you
think she went right home? Not she.
She marched straight to the button
store, and standing on tiptoe reached
her sample above the counter, say
ing:
my mother wants spool Of silk
like this"
The lady smiled down at the mite,
matched the silk carefully, and hand
ed 1t to her.
"Fank you," said Bel. She never
forgets her manners.
"But, little girl" called the lady,
didn't your mamma send any money
for the silk?"
"Yes'm; but l buyed banana"
And before the lady could stop
laughing she was on the street, hur-
rying home. If you will believe 1t,
it was d long time before mamma
could convince her little girl that she
had been naughty.

Martha washington I I'm ..

Some half dimes minted in 1872 are
said TO be the first co ms which came
from the United States mint. The first
dimes were minted In France from sill
Yer plate furnished by Washington.
They are called the Martha Washing
ton dimes from the fact that an artist
made on the coin likeness OF Martha
Washington. This was. however, with
out the knowledge of Washington, who
was greatly annoyed when he found his
wife's features represented on the coins,
and ordered them sent back and the
dies changed. This was done. The
features were somewhat altered ana a
cap added, bat the alteration was not so
great but that distinct resemblance to
the mother of her country" may be de-
tected in these coins.

Tidy UP the Farm.

In travelling through the country,
whenVa tidy-looking farm is passed,
with fences in, good order, buildings
looking neat and trim, trees trimmed
and clean, we know the resident is a
person who takes pride and interest
In his farming, and that it pays
him to do it. 1t takes but few days
each year to keep the brush cut away
from the fences, to nail up board
here and there that may have become
loOsened, to keep the fences up
straight, with no weak places to
tempt stock TO press through into the
owners or neighbors' fields Of grain or
grass, to put the implements under
shelter when not in use, To pick up
boards lying about the barn and
house, to trim the fruit trees and cut
out all dead or dying branches, to
NOW the lawn at least once each year,
to arrange all gates so that they will
freely swing on their hinges, to have
a well-kept garden, good supply of
small fruit, the pump In good working
order, good supply Of dry wood un-
der shelter, to keep the roadside
moved and bushes cut down, to keep
the outlet of expensive underdrains
open, to clean out all open bitches to
look after the stock frequently. All
these things take but little time,
and they increase the cash value of
the farm. If you have, I'm the past,
neglected these things, resolve that
you will reform, and the strangers, in
passing your door, may at least men,
tally say, "a good farmer resides
there!" Possibly it will not allow as
many leisure hours at the corner gro
Gerry, but others will take your place
there, and you are adding to the
worth of your earthly possessions, and
to your standing as man. -Ameri-
can Agriculturist

The Finding of the Grave of Aristotle.


Soon again there was the glimmer
of gold; and carefully clearing away
the earth, / began to pull at the por-
ton that became visible, which al
once appeared to me thicker and
more solid than leaf, expecting,
however, to find leaf similar to the
one that filled the grave we first
found. But the leaf would not give,
and SO had to cut away the earth
further in, and still further, until at
last l was able to extract broad dia-
dem, or fillet, of pure gold, such as
was worn round the brow.
We now pushed on with renewed
eagerness and caution, and there
came another broader band Of gold
with repousse pattern, and then still
another, and another, until we found
six: and finally reaching the point
where the head lay, and where a
small fragment OF the skull was still
preserved, there came another, a sew
enth band Of gold, with leaves like q
wreath attached to it, which crowned
the person here inferred. There were
several smaller vases and bronZes and
a knife; and then came two styli.
Now, with two complete styli and
fragments OF third, we also found a
metal pen shaped very much like our
own, the only specimen hitherto
found in Greece proper, though there
have been found boxes which con-
tanned these pens and inkstands. 1t
was now evident that the person here
inferred, for whom the Enclosure was
made, was not only man OF great
distinction, but man or letters.
We had found several interesting
terra-cotta figures OF NEUROLOGICAL or
ideal character In this grave, but at
the head we finally discovered a
terra-cotta, distinctly a portrait, of
the style of portrait-statue well
known from the fourth century nc,
Of man draped in his cloak, with
both hands folded at the side. Now,
this attitude corresponds to the de-
scription we have by certain Chris
todoros of the statue of Aristotle
which he saw at COnstantinoplei
On the next day we disclosed tile
grave next TO this one toward the in
terror, built at different angle, and,
from the various stones used in it's
structure, distinctly of later date.
At the foot of this grave, carefully
placed on the center of a large slab
which had before served some archi-
tectural purpose, was smaller mar
bic slab upon which in clear-cut
letters was the inscription, in Greek,
Biote Aristote,ou, namely, Biote, the
daughter of Aristotle. The only
male name which we found connected
with the tombs, and referring to the
family which had made this Enclosure
its last resting place, was the name
of Aristotle.
