No solution of the money question
that leaves the banking business in
the hands of private corporations will
ever prove satisfactory. Government
ownership of banks is as important as
government ownership of railroads.

crop of last year has been stored up
and the lighter yield of the present
season is causing the supply only to
sink to its normal level. The immense
production of last year is believed to
have caused the present low price of
the staple, and there is every reason
to believe that the price will rise very
considerably before another crop is
grown.
In other wheat-raisipg countries the
shortage in this years crop is similar
to that of the United States, although
not so large. The entire estimated
shortage of the world is 1872, 900
bushels, Notwithstanding India's sur
plus of over 60 600 900 bushels. France
is believed to have grown $4,000, Gee
bushels less than III 1892 Hungary
comes about 22,OOO.OOO, and Danube
and Turkey 100000 to 5000, 600
bushels short. Germany falls behind
% 900, 900, while Belgium and Holland
also take tumble. On the other
hand, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Poland
and India show increased production,
although not enough to prevent the
total production falling below the aver
age.
The estimated yield of wheat this
year in the United States is 400, OOO,-
00O,O00 bushels, or about $4,000 900
less than the average for ten years.
Of this, 30O,00O,O0O bushels will be
required for home consumption, leav-
ing 4O,000,0O0 for export, which,
added to the visible supply, will give
us 100, 900, 900 bushels out of which to
meet the wants of the rest of the
world,
In view of the fact that the Euro
pean wheat crop is shorter even than
last year, while America has still
enough to supply her own wants and
meet the shortage of the world, few
will dissent from Mr.. Mohler when he
says: "Since there is a liberal foreign
demand for wheat, the visible supply
in our country will no doubt be re-
| duced very low, and the result, in all
probability, will be avery considerable
Improvement in the price Of wheat
before the winter months have passed

TAKING LANDS IN THE STRIP.
Persons Eligible and Ineligible to
Secure HOmeSteadS.
ING ON LANDs.-ADvICE IN RE-
GARD TO VARIOUS MATTERS.

1t is now definitely settled that the
Cherokee strip will be opened to settle
ment early in September, the 10th, and
in consequence there is deep interest
in all sections in the law governing
the taking of land.
The law provides that any person
imam or woman), the head of family
or twenty-One years old, may take a
homestead of 100 acres providing they
have not already enjoyed the benefits
of the homestead act and are either
citizens of the United States or have
filed theird eclaratory statements. II
one has made a homestead entry pre-.
vious to March End, 1889, failed to
perfect title to same up to this time,
or has obtained land under the straight
presumption or timber culture act, he
or she is still eligible to take home.
stead in the strip, provided he Or she
does not own 16O acres of land. Any
person owning 100 acres of land in
any state or territory cannot take a
homestead in Oklahoma, and any per.
son who has relinQuished on a home
stead since March 2nd, 1889, is also
barred out.
All persons desiring to take home
stead should go upon the land as soor
as it is opened for settlement, then by
the aid of a sectional map and the
corner stones find out the number ant
range of the quarter section.
TO READ THE CORNER STONES.
The following directions will enable
one to read the marks on the corner
stones. A stone with six marks OF
each of its edges marks the corner o.
township. These corners are 81,
miles apart each way, and the line O.
five corner stones north and south
and east and west between are marked
only on two sides. The north ant
south line is marked only on the nortl
and south edges Of the stone, ont
mark on the north for every mile TIN
corner Is from the township corner OF
the north, and as many marks on TIT
south side as it is to the south town
ship corner.
In the same manner the east and ives
lines are marked on their edges, indi
eating distance east or west to tn
corner of the township. In the interio
Of each township there are twenty
five section corners and large mum
Der of quarter section corners. Tn
latter are all marked 81" the mark
facing the west on the north and sout
lines and on the east and west lines
the north. The section corners extern
in five lines east and west, and in fiv
lines north and south. Each ston
has on its east side one mark for eac
mile it is west from the east line {
the township, and ON its south sid
one mark for each mile from the sout
line. Thus, if a corner stone has thr.
marks on the east side and two on Il
south, by referring to the townshi
plat below one will find that the Sc
: ton southeast of 1t IS twenty-sevel
the one northwest twenty-one, etc.;
if there are four marks on the ca
and four On the south side of the ston
the section to the southeast is slxteel
the one to the northeast nine, and
e on. BY practicing picking out diffe
, ent sections on the plat in that ";
, one will SOON be able to tell che nur
Der of any section.

MANY LUNATICS AT LARGE
Every Tenth Mind is Diseased
How Experts Can Detect It.

Every tenth mind is more or less
abnormal, and you can readily see
that in the crowded Ihoroughfares oi
a city like this there must be hundreds
of people Of unsound mind wandering
about said a famous alienist to re.
porter of the Pittsburg Press. "Oc.
casionally they are thrown into mental
paroxysms by being jostled or spoken
to or interfered with, and then you
read sensational articles i'm the daily
journals headed "A Dangerous Luna
tic at Large but the fact is as I have
stated it-there are hundreds of luna
tics at large in our streets. When
am not reading, l often amuse myself
hunting for them in the street cars, on
the elevated trains or on the ferryboats.
Any expert in mental diseases can
recognize one at glance.
ANY sculptor will tell you that by
glancing at a draped figure he can
feel the form beneath it, and so do we
alienists when we gaze at human
face. Almost unconsciously we feel
the degree Of mentality. True, there
are certain outward symptoms of de-
ranged intellect, such as the unsteady
eye, the peculiar smirk known as the
loony leer' and certain motions and
movements of the lips and hands and
fingers; but the experienced alienist
doesn't depend upon them. AS l have
told you, he feels the presence of sub
acute mania in the same way as a
sculptor does a concealed figure; but,
more than this, he is often able to
note the presence of a lunatic by the
sense of smell.
"Its physiological truth that lu-
natics exhale an odor that is almost
as distinctive as the smell of musk,
ambergris or sandalwood.
There is nothing surprising about
this, for many fevers and contagious
diseases have their Obstructive odors,
as any physician will tell you. The
mind, or, if you will, the nervous sys.
tenn, is largely concerned in the task
of keeping the secretory organs in q
free and healthy action. Some peo-
pie are so dull and lympahatic in their
temperaments that they never per-
spire. Lunacy is purely a nervous
condition, and hence it is almost
always marked by a peculiar and
indescribable odor, proceeding from
the imperfect action OF the nerves on
capillaries."

BIGGEST IN THE WORLD.
Artificial Cistern which has Never
Been fully Explored.


The largest artificial cistern in the
world is at Constantinople, and is
known as the Yere- Batan-Seral. The
approach to this immense subterranean
cistern is through Turkish house.
After entering it a visitor passes
through the entrance halli into court
yard. and, descending a steep slope of
slippery earth, finds himself at the
opening of the dim and mysterious
Palace OF Waters.
The roof of this monster cistern is
supported by marble columns, distant
about ten feet from each other, every
one formed from single block; the
capitals are deliberately wrought, and
in one instance at least the entire pill
lar is covered with sculptured orna-
ments.
Two attempts have been made to
explore it, both by Englishmen, but
neither succeeded in ascertaining its
full extent.
All that is known is that it occupies
space OF many square miles beneath
the city. In the first attempted ex-
ploration the explorer and his boat
man never returned, and it is pre-
sumed, got bewildered among the col
umns, and being unable to retrace
their way way, Perishea by famine.
In the case OF the second explorer
he proceeded alone (no one being
found willing to accompany him),
having first fixed two lighted torches
to the stern of his boat and tied one
end of a quantity OF strong twine to
one of the pillars near the entrance,
leaving it to unrayel itself from a reel
as he went along.
The flame of his torches gradually
faded from view, and the fourth hour
from his departure had expired when
faint gleam of light once more ap-
peared, to the great relief OF the watch
ers for his return.
Shortly the wanderer landed from
his boat, chilled and exhausted, and
stated he had gone on for two hours
in straight line, but had seen moth
ing but the vau1ted roof overhead, the
water beneath him, and long avenues
OF columns stretching around him in
all directions and losing themselves
in the dark ness.

Cold Comfort for Ofice-Seekers

" The President-elect has made up his

"Mr Cleveland is now disposed to
carry out the spirit OF civil service re-
