trading was brisk all day. There was con-
siderable competition on the part of the
packers, and statesmen found little diff

market is quoted weak to cents lower by
the majority of the commission men, and
there was weak feeling at the close.

WICHITA, May "a, 1892.

The cattle receipts were an improvement
over yesterday. The market is generally
quoted about 10 cents lower on almost
everything. This decline is in sympathy
with the decline in eastern markets The
bulk of the offerings today were of COM
mon grades, and buyers did not seem very
anxious over them. Considerable trading
was done and the yards were pretty well
cleaned by the close of the market.
The quotations here presented TO give the

tations only changed when there has been a
permanent change in the general market. The

The ArtichOke.

A writer in Hoard's Dairyman is a
strong advocate of the aItichoke as food
for farm stock. 1t can be planted, he says,
either in the spring or fail. The fall is
rather the best, as the crop gets the benefit
of an early spring growth. The tubers are
very hardy and no amount of freezing will
injure them in the ground. They are
planted and cultivated the same as the po-
tato. There are always enough left in the
ground to produce a crop the second year,
and they need no further cultivation. 81
always dig or pillow up and pit great
amount for my stock during the winter. l
cultivate the White Jerusalem variety;
they are very large, white tubers. HSince 1
have been feeding artichokes my corn
cribs do not get empty so often. When
begin feeding artichokes to my cows in the
fall the butter at once becomes more yell
low, and continues its golden color all
through the winter as long as feed them,
and they last in spring until pasture
comes. / usually leave lot for spring
feeding and dig as 1 want to feed them"

What is undoubtedly the strongest natu-
raj gas we'll ever found in the Indiana belt
is a roaring monster north of Muncie,
which cannot be gotten under control. 1t
is impossible to force sledge hammer,
crowbar or anything in the hole, and the
gas roars until a mans voice cannot be
heard within hundreds of yards of the well.
One of the promising young men of
Missouri is Jesse James, jr., the son of the
notorious train robber, the most celebrated
of American bandits. He lives with his
mother in Kansas City, and is a manly
youth of seventeen, whose life is as correct
as a Sunday school boys. He was given
an education in the public schools, and has
for some time been an employe of local
packing house.
Alexander Womble, the San Francisco
mining expert, has returned from Silver
Mountain, in Boise county, Idaho, where
he was sent by English capitalists TO pass
final Judgment upon the hole in the ground
which several years ago the notorious
"Matt" Graham ''salted" so artlstically
that British company wasted over 81 ,000,-
600 on l.. After a critical inspection, In
spector Womble decided that the property
was absolutely worthless.
A sailors trousers are the foundation on
which the learned Professor Helprin of the
Philadelphia Academy of Science rests his
theory that the North Pole can be discov-
cred, and that within very few years
This garment was the property of a seaman
whose ship entered the Arctic regions by
Bering Sea. Somehow the apparel got
int the ocean current, was swept away up
towards the Pole and finally came down
along the shores of Greenland, where 1t
was discovered. A ship, argues Professor
Heilprin, can go where these trousers have
been. And it is fact that an expedition
is going to start from Norway in the spring
of 1898 to try it,
The great search light which is to illu-
inmate jackson park was lately tested.
This light is the largest and strongest in
the world and is perched on the high tower
of the transportation building. 1t was
made in Germany. The light is what is
known as fOur-fOOt reflector, that is, the
great magnifying glass through which the
rays are thrown to such distance is four
| feet in diameter. The direct power of the
light is $50, 900 candle power, without any
| glass whatever. With the big glass, how
ever, the power is magnified to 100, 900, 900
candle power. The carbOns used in the ra-
diator are II inches long and 1t inches In
diameter. They are fastened inside the
lamp merely with two upright pieces Of
steel. The lamp itself is operated on sort
of carriage something after the manner of

room in the church building, and for some
time she lived there, sleeping on a couch,
her parshioners minstering TO her simple
wants. She tells of the little children
clambering up the stairs to be drilled In
the pieces they were to speak, and of old
er ones bringing in covered dishes, hot
from their own tables, for her use. She
also mentions how in mild, still nights she
carried her pillow up into the steeple and
there slept close to the stars.
While living in this way she could work
to much better advantage, as she used the
audience room of the church to dry her
large and cumbrous pieces for decorating
it. Before Easter she always cleaned the
church, as far as her lameness allowed, and
tried to put up some new decoration to do
honor to the great festival of the Christian
church, which touched with its JOY the
lonely heart of this lonely woman in her
paper church, as well as that Of the learn
ed ecclesiastic, bowling in gorgeous vest
ments before marble altar.
At length there was a clash of opinion
at the annual church meeting, and il was
voted that the money should be appropri-
ated in a different channel. The "minis-
teri then withdrew, and in her own home,
trying to exc out the small income of the
farm by taking boarders, she passed the
rest of her life. The farmhouse is also
marvelously decorated in the same style as
the church, and for much the same cause,
and in the leaky, dilapidated old barn
there is much of the same style of decOra-
ton waiting transportation to the house or
church.
For some time before her death the
church building was opened for fee to
any one who wished to examine it, but she
Indignantly denied reaping any benefit
from it. She was "paid to read sermons"
she said, but the outlay of time and
strength was purely labor of love.
