ASKING AID.
Many Families in Cooper County

The ravages of the rain, hail and
wind storm in the southern part of
Cooper county last Sunday afternoon
were terribly stressing and many
farmers, who had fine fields of wheat
and oats and corn, saw their crops
dashed to ruin in few minutes.
Yesterday, circulars from Bunceton
were received in Sedalia. The EN-
ployes of the Equitable Loan and In.
vestment association were among those
who responded, they making up a
very considerable purse.
The circulars read as TO lows:

The BuffaIO'S Cup.

A traveller describes strange for
nation in Mitchell County, Texas,
which, in our time at least, will be a
reminder of the days when the buff
falo roamed the plains of the great
West. cat the junction of two
creeks" he writes, dis a bed of friable
gray sandstone mixed with coarse
gravel. Water passing over the
edge has worn away a part of it, and
has created fall of thirty feet. The
loose gravel carried round and round
in the eddies has gradually bored
holes in the sandstone. These holes
are from three to six feet wide, ci1-
cular and from fifty to hundred
feet deep. There are from fifteen to
twenty of them, all filed with fresh
water. BY the long-continued churn-
ing of the gravel they have been
made jug-shaped or cistern-l like, and
in some instances the wall dividing
the two wells has been cut through.
This must have been a favorite
watering place with the buffalo. In
the solid rock is cut a deep trail
down to the water. And where the
descent is steepest the footmarks are
over six inches deep, showing that
every animal passing there put its
foot exactly in the spot occupied by
those which had preceded it,"

WHY Do We Wear Mourning?

The custom is outworn: it is an
anachronism in the nineteenth cen
tury. says the North American Re-
view. 1t is unchristian; it clouds
the spiritual significance of the res
direction with the ever present eX-
preston of temporal loss. 1t is cruel;
it forces helpless and innocent people
into action. which entails privation
and unnecessary suffering. 1t is un-
truthful; it makes false outward
show Of changes in sentiment. And
it is essentially vulgar; for it presses
private affairs upon public notice; it
thrusts claims of fashion and frivolity
upon a time which most greatly
moves the heights and depths of be-
ing: and it forces its superficial
worldliness into the tiercest throes
which can ever rend human nature.
Why, then, do we still wear mourn

mendous amount of detail to all this,
but nothing was omitted. Ground
was broken on the first contract July
IL. 1892. This was done at the
mouth of Rock River south side, and
on the spot where the excavation for

gravel for concreting bottom.
A mile of canal trunk is a busy
place when a couple of hundred teams,
with implements and men to match,
are constantly traversing it, and this
is what is seen all the way between
lock 81 and Silver Lake and for a
mile on the upper side of Silver Lake.
The huge embankments look like
parallel railroad grades, with deep
trench between them. Where they
have been finished they look as
though they had been "sand-papered,"

noiS lads were in camp here, Quaran-
tined because they had the cholera
They came here to finish up the Black
Hawk war, and the disease broke out
among them. Not long ago the eXca-
vatols turned out two skeletons. No
one living here knows anything about
how they came there. They may
have been Indians, but they are
guessed again to have been the vic
Tins of the plague.
On the north shore of Rock River
rises a steep, rocky bluff. 1t has
been known as Black Hawks watch
tower for years. While he was among
the whites here that famous chief
made mention of it as an outlook of
his, and the name seems to have been
honestly given. A year or SO ago ID.
Fl. Louderback, of Chicago, Presi-
dent of the Tri-city Street Railway
Company Of Davenport, Rock Island,
and Moline, purchased this property.
He transformed the shabby old house
on the summit into a graceful half
Moresque summer hotel, which he
calls the Black Hawk Inn, and re-
vamped the dummy trains into an
electric car service. Now the pride
and the fashion of the three cities
and surrounding country flock here
in thousands through long season
to gaze upon the outspread beauties
of Rock River, eat, drink, dance and
make merry.

Mamma.

Inc mama or commerce comes
chiefly from Sicily 1t is a sweet
substance, obtained from small
tree which is known as the mamma
ash. This tree can be grown as far
north as England, but in that coun-
try it yields no mama, and is Guilt
waited for ornament only. The mamma
is formed from the sap. The trees
are ready to be tapped at the age of
eight years, when the stems have a
diameter of about three inches. The
tapping is done by making cuts
through the bark to the wood, the
incisions being one or two inches
long, and about an inch apart.
The first cut is made at the lower
part of the trunk. The next year
the untouched part of the stem is
operated upon in the same way, and
the practice is continued in success
i've years till the tree is exhausted.
The finest mamma is that which is
incrusted around pieces of stick or
straWs placed in the missions. Flake
mama is that which has hardened
on the trunk. The inferior quality
is from the lower incision. After its
removal from the tree the mamma is
dried on shelves.
There are other plants that yield a
similar product. The tamarisk of
Arabia exudes from it's branches a
substance that becomes solid in the
cool of the morning. This is known
as tamarisk honey. The emulation
is assisted by the puncture Of a small
insect. 1t is said that this honey is
described by native writer's as dew
which falls upon the leaves OF the
tamarisk and other trees.
The Persians gather kind of
mamma from leguminous plant by
shaking it's branches, or by picking
the leaves and gently beating them
over a cloth when dry. Throughout
Persia and Afghanistan naturally
produced mamma is harvested from
different trees and shrubs. 1t is
eaten by the people as sweetmeat,
and is exported to India.
In Australia a sweet substance is
obtained by the natives from the
sandalwood. 1t is favorite article
of food with them and with the
colonists. The mamma gathered from
the leaves of the eucalyptus is rather
product of insects. The emulation
of the sap is due to their puncturing
of the leaves, and the same is sup
posed to be the origin Of the mamma
which is collected from the twigs of
certain species of oak.
The notion of the Arabs that the
mamma was a dew deposited upon the
leaves of shrubs reminds us that we
have the phenomenon of honey-deW
on leaves of the elm in this country.
1t is to be observed on hot and dry
days in August. The upper surface
of the leaves becomes vanished with
a soluble sweet gum, much resorted
to by insects in the morning. 1t
hardens in the hot sun. This ap-
pears to be true natural emulation
of sap from the leaves, caused by eX-
cessive heat. There is no indication
of the leaves, caused by excessive
heat There is no indication of the
leaves being punctured; the visits OF
the insects are result, not cause.

To Keep Guns from Rusting.

The best way to preserve a gun
from rusting is to have ring of zinc
soldered round the barrel, or if it is
not convenient to do this, to have a
long stripof zinc soldered out of sight
underneath the barrel. The galvanic
action which is excited between the
zinc and the iron effectually prevents
the oxidation of either metal, and as
long as the zinc remains in contact
with the iron not a particle of rust
will appear on either the inside or
outside of the barrel.--St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

ROYAL Insignia.

In a guarded room OF the great
gray castle which overlooks the royal
city Of Edinburgh are preserved the
ancient regalia of Scotland, the in
sigma of the sovereignty of the king
dom before it was united to England.
Perhaps there is nothing dearer to
the Scotchman's heart than these old
symbols of the old-time glory of his
country.
There is the crown of Robert the
Bruce, which he wore as simple cir
clet of gold at the battle of Bannock-
burn. 1t was afterWard so incruSted
with rubies, diamonds, and emeralds
that it rested with the weight of five
pounds upon the uneasy head of the
king who wore it.
The scepter with which the gallant
King James V. first ruled over his
subjects is a slight rod Of silver lit
tie more than three feet in length,
ornamented with three figures of the
Virgin and the patron saints of Scot
land when Scotland believed in saints.
The handle is crowned with large
crystal beryl, an ancient Stone OF
the future.
Beside these there are the sword of
state and decorations and orders be-
longing to Scottish kings.
These treasures have a strange his
tory. When Charles |. was beheaded
they were in the keeping of Ogilvy,
Governor of Castle Dunnottar To
protect them from Cromwell's SOL
ders they were given to n Mrs. Gran
ger, wife of the minister Of little
church near Dunnottar. She and her
husband dug a hole before the pulpit
at night, and then buried them.
Dunnottar Castle was taken by the
PuritanS, and the governor, the min
lister, and their wives were put to
the torture to force them to reveal
where the regalia were hidden. One
of the women, it is said, died on the
rack, but they all kept the secret I'M
til Charles IL was restored.
A the time of the legislative union
between England and Scotland, in
1907 the jealous Scots again hid the
regalia, this time in a huge oak chest
in room of the castle. There they
remained unknown fora hundred and
eleven years. when the dungeons were
searched and the chest opened by a
commission. of which Sir Walter
Scott was the chief. aud the royal in
sigma were found whole and I'M
harmed.
1t is said that mighty shout went
up from Edinburgh that day, and that
old men and children wept for joy
Since then the regalia are cherished
by Scotland as the emblems of her
days of freedom and power
Americans have no visible sign OF
the strength and character of their
country but the flag. No cruel or
brutal king can besmirch its fair folds
in the eyes of the world, but every
boy who reads these lines can do it.
Just as he shall make the name of
an American respected and honored
among men he will add to its respect
and honor. Youths Companion.

nectioD of the Illinois River with the
lake, but it's small size does not rem
der it practicable. The size of the
barges used would be limited to it's
capacity.
AS for the Hennepin, there is now
every reason to believe that the $780,
900 first appropriated will cover the
cost of construction of this lower sec
ton, which has been above described,
including the guard lock and the
dams across Rock river. Upon the
completion of this section the water
will be backed up by these dams so
that at low water the Rock river will
be navigable seven-foot stage to
Green river, and at high water to
Penny's slough, twenty-seven miles
from the Mississippi. In all 81, OOO,-
600 is available, however, and the
work will advance far enough in an
other summer to make great show
ing of the utility and Importance of
the canal. It's friends hope it will
command additional money as it may
be needed.
The workmen employed by the en-
gineers and the contractors are
mostly transients-men who follow
the various pieces Of government
work about the country. There are
also number of residents in these
employees and most of the teams be-
