DON'T RECOGNIZE THE DESERT.

Travellers Go Many Miles on the Sahara
without Knowing It.
Probably not one person in a hum
dred travelling southwark in Algeria
to reach the great Sahara knows that
he is in the desert until some hours
after he has entered it. unless he is in-
formed by guide or companion.
The popular idea of the desert is
vast expanse of sand, fat or very nearly
so, and dotted here and there with fer
tile patches, called GASES Though this
picture is not absolutely incorrect, it is
far from being the proper one.
The desert is nothing more nor less
than the ordinary surface of the earth
denuded of vegetation. 1t has its
mountains and its stretches of level
ground just like any other part of the
earth.
The fertile land may become desert
by the drying up of the streams caused
by the cessation of rain, thus depriving
the vegetation of the substance whence
it's life is drawn.
The traveller, If he is close observer.
will notice that the vegetation steadily
becomes thinner as he advances, dimin-
ishing to little tufts here and there un-
til it finally disappears altogether
He will notice, too, that the little
stream whose banks he is following is
not fringed with bushes along its
banks, and that the mountains have no
trees upon their sides. Should he ask
the guide how soon they will reach the
desert he will probably be told that
they entered it when they passed the
ridge which is now many miles behind
them. Advantageous Magazine.

1t Is Called the Sultan and Comes From
England.
There are countless numbers of per-
sons to whom a new game of solitaire
is a gift beyond price A new game
comes from England. 1t is called the
Sultan" The object of the game,
from which it's name is derived, is to
leave the king of hearts surrounded by
a group of admiring queens. These are
the rules:
Shuttle two packs of cards and then
withdraw the eight kings and one ace
of hearts Put one of the king of
hearts in the center and around him
the other kings and the ace of heartG
in the form of square. The king Of
/ hearts in the center must remain I'M
touched till the end. On the right and
left of the center lay out four common
cards-eight in all. Now commence to
draw, laying the ace of each suit on
each king and the deuce on the ace of
| hearts
If card can be found among the
eight outside ones which can be used,
take it and replace the card from the
rubbish heap, or boneyard, or trash
pile, as it is known in your nomencla-
ture. This heap may be turned twice.
If you are successful, in the end your
king of hearts is in the center, sur
rounded by eight packs of cards with
the queen on top.-Boston Transcript

Mr.. CARLISLE'S PLAN.
THE FINANCIAL SITUATION AT
WASHINGTON.
An Order May BE Issued to Redeem tho
Treasury Certificates In Silver In the
Future-Should This Bo Done II
Will Greatly Check shipments
of Gold-Mr. Carlisle Is
In Favor of 1t.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The financial
situation was discussed at length at
the cabinet meeting yesterday, and at
the close the general opinion was that
the time for issuing bonds had not
arrived.
The cabinet also discussed the advis-
ability of secretary of the treasury is
suing an order to the sub-treasuries TO
redeem treasury certificates in future
in silver. He has full authority to do
so, the law making it optional
with him to redeem them
in either gold or silver. Hereto
fore they have been redeemed almost
entirely in gold, and that, the secre-
tary believes, without reason. Should
he issue such an order it would go q
long ways toward checking the ship
ments, as it would put the shippers to
considerable expense and trouble to
secure greenbacks to exchange for
gold.
The secretary expressed himself in
favor of issuing such an order, but it
is understood that the question was
not definitely settled. The prevailing
belief is, however, that such an order
will be issued before long. Should
the shipment next Saturday promise
to be larger than is now expected, the
secretary would doubtless have talk
with the president and then issue the
order

Two Mayors for Atchison.

ATcHIsoN, Kan, April 19.-Atchison
has two mayors. each of whom claims
to have been elected, and asserts the
right to preside over the council Mon
day night the council, sitting as con-
test court, declared that the seat of w.
T. Bland, who was sworn in as mayor
recently, was vacant and that. M. j..
Cloyes was elected. Cloyes was sworn
in and called meeting for yesterday
afternoon. During the meeting Bland
pushed the door open and said that he
was the regularly elected mayor of
Atchison and did not propose to yield
in such q manner. Bland had blood
in his eye, and there would no doubt
have been trouble had not the council
adjourned. The matter will probably
be taken to the supreme court.

She Rides Her Broncho and Appears Like
Society Belle.
1.-THE contrasts between western and
eastern life are growing less marked as
civilization pushes its way into the
region once known as the frontier"
said well-known explorer of our own
country.
while was riding through a min.
ing district in southern Colorado last
summer. however, saw an example of
pure feminine democracy that reminded
me of the days that we read about in
fiction dealing with American life If
teen years ago.
at was at log cabin hotel was
watching some cow-punchers and
prospectors who were swapping lies,'
when my attention was attracted by
young girl mounted on a broncho, who
rode up to the door, sprang lightly to
the ground and vanished in the cabin.
''She was neatly and tastefully
dressed. Her riding habit must have
been cut in London or New York.
There was an air about her that was
altogether foreign to the surroundings
! wondered who she could be. One of
the cow-punchers led her pony to the
corral and my thoughts took another
turn.
Supper was announced a couple of
hours later. accompanied the clean
but curiously dressed westerners into
the rudely furnished apartments, where
bountiful and we'll cooked meal was
served. There was but one waitress. q
good-looking girl with figure well
qualified to compete as a model Venus.
She wore spotless white apron over q
close-fitting cloth dress. She reminded
me of some society girl playing maid at
charity affair l glanced at her face
and was somewhat surprised, used as
am to the unusual in the west, to recog-
nize the young lady as the same who
had returned from pleasant ride in the
afternoon.
81 afterward inquired about her and
learned that she was the regular hired
girl, or waitress She did her work
thoroughly, and when she was through
with it she took advantage of the possi-
bilities that the surroundings offered
and enjoyed herself thoroughly.
| THE pony was her own-nothing
strange in that-you can get pony for

eastern notions to be waited upon by a

Postnasters With Good Records VIII Not

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Congress-
man Springer of Illinois has a we'll
earned reputation for getting more
positive rulings out of the executive
and the cabinet people than any other
man on earth. Some times-gener-
ally, in fact-these rulings are not to
his taste, but they are always clear.
81 understand, Mr.. Postmaster Cen
eral," said Mr.. Springer yesterday,
''that you have determined to retain
Republican postmasters the full term
four years when nothing can be proven
against them. But suppose that
postmaster appointed by Mr.. Harrison
served three years and a Republican
successor was appointed. Will this
dating from the date of the original
commission or will he be allowed to
serve four years dating from his own
commission"
HE will be allowed" said Mr..
Bissell positively, "to serve out four
years of his own"
"Hump!' said Mr.. Springer. swell,
here is case / have in my mind:
Near the end of his presidency Mr.
Arthur appointed Republican post
master at Taylorville, Ill. Mr.. Gle ve-
land allowed him to serve four
years, which carried him entirely
through the Democratic admin
istration, then q Democrat was
appointed. Mr.. Harrison promptly re-
moved this Democrat and named a
Republican in his place. This Re-
publican served through more than
three years of Mr.. Harrisons admin
istration and then died. A Repub-
lican successor was appointed. Is he
to be allowed to no Id the office four
years more?'
"He is" said Mr.. Bissell.
But" expostu!ated Mr.. Springer,
"that will give us a Democratic in
cumbent for little more than one
year of Mr.. Cleveland's two terms"
"It's the rule" said Mr.. Bisselly
That's cheerful" said Mr.. Springer
as he left.

INVESTIGATIONS IN KANSAS.
Insurance Superintendent Sniter and See.

Insurance Superintendent Snider and See.
retary Osborne Looking for Franc.
Topeka, Kan, April 10. IS. H.
Snider, the new state perinterdent
of insurance, has already begun an in
vestigation of the methods of his
predeces ,or. This morning he went
through the letter book of the Office
and found that in response to letters
written to foreign Insurance compnies
by Nc cBride since his trial some
thing like $4,000 of uncollected re
taliatory tax had been received.
Snider thinks these receipts will
amount to $50, 600 before he is done
with the delinquents He also
criticises Mcbride for the way ne
chose to turn the Office over to the new
force, he having left no one in the
Office to instruct the new men in the
routine of their work.
Secretary of State Osborne also
makes charges of corruption. Last
week he made the statement that
Warden Case had been supplying the
Republican state officers with peniten-
tiary coal free of charge and had given
Cy Leland valuable coal contract.
Case and Leland deny these
charges and offer evidence that
the stories are without foun-
dation, while Case says the books
in Osbornes own office disprove the
charges. To-day Osborne said that he
had positive knowledge that Republi-
can state officers and state house
employees not only manipulated coal
contracts and the public funds but in
the last hours of their stay in the
state house carried off every
thing they could lay their hands
on from mail bags to type
writers!$ A charge, which he lays
great stress upon, is that there existed
efficiency in the treasury which was
fixedsup before the new administra-
tion came in.
The Salina school board yesterday
paid bond debt of So, 800 to the state
which had been running through sew
eral administrations. The board tried
to stand off the present administration
but, Attorney General Little threat
| ened to bring suit
Adjutant General Artz said yester-
day that the military expense of the
late legislative war amounted to about

the state military board yesterday.
