The affairs of the temple at Jerusalem'
All, you know that swallows are all the
world over very tame, and in summer
time they used to fly into the windows
and doors of the temple at Jerusalem
and build nest on the altar where the
priests were offering sacrifices.
These swallows brought leaves and
sticks and fashioned nests on the altars Of
the temple and hatched the Young spar
rows in those nests. and David had seen
the young birds picking their way out
of the shell while tho old swallows
watched. and 40 one in the temple was

Depths of Sowing Grass Seed.

The numerous failures in obtaining
good stands of the cultivated grasses in
duced trials on the grounds of the Iowa
experiment. station at Ames to ascertain
what influence depth of sowing had on
securing good crops. Operations, owing
to the rainy spring, did not begin until
April 8, 1902, when red clover, timothy,
Bromus inermus and tall meadow oat
grass were sowed, and the seed was COW
cred at various depths.
The soil in which this experiment was
made is d sandy loan. AS has been in
tilnated, the spring was wet one. The
months Of September, October and No.
vember were, however, very dry, and
the only severe drought Of the season
occurred during these months. Briefly
stated, the results of this experiment, as
reported in a recent bulletin, indicated
that for such a season as 1892 clover
covered two and three inches stands fall
drought better than that covered less,
while lighter coverings gave better yields
at first cutting. Timothy covered one
inch deep gave most hay at first cutting,
but that sowed two inches deep stood
drought best. Tall meadow oat grass
covered two inches deep gave the most
hay at first cutting and showed the best
fall conditions. The Bromus inermus
covered one inch deep gave most hay at
first cutting, and that covered two inches
deep showed the best fall condition.

A High school GIrIs Criticism.

A member of the graduating class of
the girls high school was heard TO make
very bright remark recently. The
young man under discussion is gradu-
ate Of Harvard. Not many moons will
elapse before he becomes a member of
one Of the professions. He has always
been good student, but his interest in
politics is absolutely nil. So little is he
interested in public affairs that he did
not take the trouble to register and vote
last fall. In fact, he has never voted.
All this, together with his reasons, was
brought out in the course of the CONVEX
sation. The high school girl listened
with n good deal of interest, and after
everybody else had had his and her
"say" she expressed her opinion in this
way:
81 just think that man who will not
vote must be terribly selfish creature.
There now!" And she emphasized her
words with play of two pretty, bright
eyes and a significant shake Of the head.
Do you think she came far from hitting
the mark?-Boston Globe.

A Peculiar Insurance Claim.

One of the companies doing tornado
business some time ago received notice
of loss of horse, for which the assured
demanded immediate payment. " hilo

regarding the death of the animal anl

damage but kill one horse, the company
inquired in what manner the killing oc-
Cured. The assured at once wrote back
that his horse had died of wind collie and
that he wanted his pay at once to buy
another.
This peculiar state of affairs leads i,
suggestion to companies doing tor.

A Lesson In Punctuality.

Matthias Splitlog, chief of the Wyan-
dcttcs, lives in Kansas and is known to
be worth about S1,000,000. He is sup
posed to be the richest Indian in Amer
lea. He can neither read nor write, but
by his native shrewdness has acquired
large tracts of land in Kansas and Mis-
souri,, as well as houses and lots in Kan
sas City.
Some white men were negotiating with
him for the purchase of certain lot of
land. The price was finally agreed upon
$4,000, and they were to meet him at a
certain bank in Kansas City at 10 o'clock
There and then the money was to be paid
and the papers signed.
On the appointed morning old Matthias
entered the bank few minutes before
the hour and took seat, with his eye
upon the clock. The minute hand reached
IL, and the clock began to strike. TIL
Indian rose, and at the last stroke he
walked out of the building.
He had gone only block or two be-
fore he met the capitalists hurrying to
keep their appointment. They begged
him to return, but he refused. If they
wished to deal with him, he would meet
them at the bank the next day at 10
o'clock.
That time the white men were on
hand, but when they offered the Indian
the price agreed upon for the land he de-
clined to take it. The $4,000 was yes
terday's price. Today they might have
the property for 100000. Talking was
useless, and they paid the additional $780,
600.

singular netrothal Custom.

"They have queer betrothal custom

native on finca, or coffee plantation, one
day, when l saw an old woman belabor-
ing her daughter with good sized
slick, which she applied vigorously
across the shoulders and body Of her be-
loved offspring, who set up walls of woe
and pain, though fancy her tears were
quickly dried, for it was significant
event for her. This is the way the old
lady gave her consent to the marriage of
her daughter. The natives receive but
little cash during the year. The priests
charge what is there considered good
sum for performing marriage cere-
mony. and the natives of the lower
classes dispense with it, The mother
beats the daughter, there is a feast of
frijolli and tortilli cakes and the dispen-
sation Of unlimited quantities of native
whisky, everybody is happy and drunk,
and that constitutes the marriage, which,

and observed, as rule, faithfully"

The First Blood.

Topeka, Kan. Feb. 1.-THE first
blood of the Kansas revolution flowed
from the nose OF a sergeant on guard at
the State House this morning. All OF the
entrances TO the Capitol building and
grounds were guarded by the militia
A few minutes after 9 o'clock squa-
dron of deputy sheriffs and assistants,
started for the State House with bask-
cts of food for those in Representative
Hall, but were denied admission. a
row ensued and the guard of blue coats
were pushed aside and the deputies
with the baskets followed by about
100 men dashed up the barricades into
Representative Hall. The hall was
soon packed with men armed with
clubs and guns. AT the head ofthe stair
way and beyond the barricade num-
Der of guards armed with winchesters
were at once stationed to resist any
advance that might be attempted by
the militia on the order of the Gov
ernor. In the State House yard the
rush of the deputies was followed by
intense excitement in the military
headquarters. Bugles were sounded
and full companies were called out to
take the place of the corporals' guards.
But one man, q sergeant, was injured
in the melee and he only to the extent
of a bruised and bloody nose.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE gov
crnor has finally signed a peace
agreement. The troops are TO be sent
home, the militia disbanded and the
republicans to be left in possession OF
the House.
The agreement gives the republicans
undisputed possession of Representa-
tive Hall, the republicans to agree not
to make any further arrests of popu-
list house officers for contempt, and the
populists to continue their meeting in
another hall. The Governor binds
himself to abide by the decision of the
supreme court as to the legality of the
rival houses. All differences have now
been settled.

wrong. PROFESSIONALLY there are
many men in the democratic party who
are wrong, but there are many more
who are right, and among the latter he

that he was candidate for the repub-

THE REPUBLICANS of Kansas don
seem to have changed much since the
time of John Brown, when they detied
the written law, and set up the higher
law of their own desires. They have
boldly denied the authority of the Gov
ernor of their State, because he doesn't
agree with them, resist the power OF
the State militia, and with arms in their
hands threaten death and destruction
to those who may attempt to execute
his orders. The Governor of South
Carolina also seems to be possessed OF
the same ideas as those of his old time
predecessors, for he boldly deies the
authority of the U. S. courts. All OF
which is but the echo of the steps OF
the approaching man on horseback.

THE SURVIVORS of the famous 306
delegates to the national republican
convention who supported third term
for Gen. Grant to the last, and who call
themselves the 'immortals," have made
arrangements for grand reunion in
Philadelphia next April. As Judge
Gresham, who will then be the premier
of Mr.. Cleveland's administration, is
one of them, he will probably be pres
ent, and may make a speech, and if he
shall, he will find it hard to tell how a
man who was matured when he was
such stalwart republican as to vote
to the last for third term for Presi-
dent Grant, can now be premier OF Il
democratic administration, especially as
the principles of both the republican
and democratic parties are precisely
the same now as then.
