LIVING LANTERNs.-Away down ID
the dark depths OF tic ocean there ai'
living lanterns that are borne about To
light up the darkness. A queer hsh'
called the "midshipmite," carries th"
brightest and most striking of all these
sea torches. Along its back, under ii
and at the base of its Inns there arc
small disks that glow with a phcs
phorescent light like rows OF shining
buttons on the young middlys uniform,
In this way it gets its name mi snip
mite" by which young sailors IN the
navy are often called. ;,
These disks are exactly like small
bull's-eye lanterns, with regular lenses
and rehectors. The Lenses gather the
ravs and the refectors throw them out
again. There is layer Of phosphores-
cent cells between the two, and the en-
tire effect is as perfect as if made by
some skillful optician.
The fish is so constructed that when
ii is frightened by some devourlng sea
monster it can Il )se its lenses and hide
itself in the darkness. 1t can turn It's
lantern off and on at will, and then it Is
always "filled" and ready when wanted.
Another marine aoimal has lumln.
Gus bulb that hangs from its chin, and
thus throws the light before it, 10 warn
it of the approach of enemies. Still an
other upholds big light from the eX-
tremity of the dorsal fin. Others again
have constant supplies of luminous
oil that runs down their sides from the
fins, making bright and constant light
all around

A Growing Evil.

Tn ere is so many evil tendencies, attend
ing it, that think the separation of families
should be classed with the growing evils of
today.
When Johnnie and Mary grow up they
must be sent away from home to school,
when perhaps the home school is nearly or
quite as good, and that deficiency would
more than be m ade up, often, by the home
care and influence.
No matter how firm the cord at first, the
constant breaking and tying, makes it
weaker and shorter, until it is thrown away
as useless. So it is with the constant break
ing of home ties.
The going away from home will soon
scease to cause pang at going, or long,
ing to return.
The love of home and kindred is the
strongest foundation of any nation.
Some people find great amusement in
chatting the home sick young man, OF wom-
an, while regard it as very strong point
of character, and good guide in choosing
a life companion.
at the present day it is the most com mon
every day affair for the husband to seek en-
ployment in some other city, or town, while
perhaps a husband from some other town Is
working:at the same trade in his own town.
This is a very deplorable state Of Affairs,
and one that needs adjusting.
What was, and would still be, loving
and peaceful home, is often broken up By the
needless geing away of one or other.
My sincere advice is, II there is not means
enough for husband and wife to take the
loDged for visit together, to defer it, except
in : case OF extreme sickness. till they have
saved enough means to go together.
''Satan finds mischief for idle hands to
do" and "for idle gossiping tongues, when
the old mans gone"
Yours for united, not to be parted fami-
lies, "JIA."

Ruleton was the scene of considerable

Ruleton was the scene of considerable
amusement Saturday which consisted of
hsrse racing, bicycle racing, foot aid sack
racing, balloon ascension and ball games.
Quite a numb er of Goodlandites took in the
sport. The original ball game was between
Ruleton and Griswold, but quite number
of Goodland ball players being on the ground
they challenged the winner which was the
Ruleton team, to play. It is needless to say
that Goodland won. Lemonade, ice cream
and peanuts was the main article of refresh
ment. The Rock Island ran a special train
out of Goodland to the grounds. A good
time was the reply of all.
Wheat dropped in Chicago on Tuesday to
58K cents. Pork dropped from $40 per bar
rel ty 5000, and six big packing firms have
failed, among them j. Cudahy and the
North American Packing company. The
bottom also fell out on lard, which dropped
1915 per hundred pounds. Ribs dropped
81. 25 per hundred, and wheat Sympathized
with the astonishing decline and fell to 5SH
cents per buahel. Now if pork drop effects
wheat is it a stretch of Imagination to sup
pose q silver drop affects wheat also. The
great cerials and staples sympathize in mar
ket fluctuations because they are food pro-
ducts, and may be substituted, to certain
extent, for each other. If man has less
meat he will eat more bread, or less bread
he will eat more meat, less wheat more corn
and vice versa.

sob, Jewell, if you have key to open the
heavenly door, please turn it just this once
for me, and let the water pour; precipitate
an inch or two of moist aquatic rain, and
watch the good that it will do to thirsty
grass and grain. Insert your patent cork
screw in the bottle Of the sky, and pull like
blazes, won't you, tell the wet wet waters
fly? 1t has been two weeks, old fellow,
since a ram has come this way, and the corn
is turning yellow and the drouth is on the
hay. Enemies have oft assaIled you. init
mating in a way, it was only worms that
allied you-nothing serious to pay-but my
faith has never faltered, I have battled to
maintain, that the elements were battered
you Just pulled to make it rain. Be my faith
and inspiration to the genius of your power,
twist on, oh twist the combination-giVe US
rain within an hour! See, l kneel before
you weepingl s0bbing with each stifHed
breath-ah there, Jewell, are you sleeping?
Give us rain or give us DEATH"
