THERE is wonderful change in the
manner and appearance of Western Kan
sas since the recent heavy rains. The
reaction from dependency to citation
makes farmers almost jubilant. They
are now assured plenty of hay and fod-
der for stock. The plains are a bright
emeral green with the fresh grown buff
talo grass, which is putting flesh on at a
rapid rate. and will enable all rumi-
mating animals to begin our mild winter
with q warm, comfortable coat of fat.
All thoughts which burdened the stock
mems minds few weeks ago in regard
to taking their herds cast to winter have
permanently vanished.
Dependency, especially among the
farmers, is now no longer apparent.
The continued heavy rains has put in
them a spirit of citation that will brace
up this part of the state to degree that
can be attained through no other influ-
ence. We believe that more farm ma
chinery has been sold here within the
last two weeks than were disposed of
during the entire three months preced-
ing. We saw two farmers of Royal
township taking out gang stirring plows
for which they paid hard cash, and were
informed that each will seed not less than
200 acres to wheat, and that every acre
will be put in the best possible shape be-
fore planting. Men from all parts Of the
country tell us that more real farming
for wheat is now being done than ever
before, and say there is an expressed in
tention in every locality to largely in
crease the acreage over last years SOW
ing.
Though we may now be in the midst
of dark clouds owning to the severe crop
failure and Cleveland's conspiracy
against the business welfare of the coun-
try, still there seems to now dawn in the
the aspect of the future silver lining.

Hiram Wray cut sixty acres of wheat.
The grains are SO small it will not turn
out so we'll as was expected. 1t is esti-
mated at somewhere between six and
ten bushels per acre. Mr.. Wray has not
weakened on Kansas in the least, how
ever. On the contrary, he proposes to
increase his acreage largely over last
wear. One hundred acres is what he
seeded to wheat in '92. but the coming
fall will make it 150 acres.

Disappearance of the Sardine.

"Where, oh where is the little sar-
dine, where, oh where is he gomez
This slight modification of a once pop
ular ditty seems to express the feeling
of the Scottish fisherman for the sar-
dine, which Is simply the young of the
pilchard and was certainly at one time
quite common fish on the east coast
of Scotland, is not now regular in
habitant of the Scottish seas. In re-
sponse to inquiry the fishery officers Of
fourteen of the seventeen east coast
districts say that pilchards are never
landed in their districts, although
stray specimen may be got occasionally
in the Moray Firth, off the Firth of
Forth, or in the Firth of Clyde. As late
as the beginning of the present CEN
tury they were as abundant at some
places as the herring, and this gave
rise to complaints by the herring -curers
when quantities of the pilchard were
delivered to them mixed with the her
rings. Possibly the pilchard is getting
scarce elsewhere, for large quantities
Of other fish are prepared on the con-
tinent and in America as sardines and
sold as such, and this is especially so
with the sprat and young herrings
These facts have led to the suggestion
that Scotch fishermen should turn their
attention to the curing and timing of
the latter fish, which are abundant on
their coasts.

The Oldest,

The oldest dress in the world is
probably that described by a French
traveller in Japan. 1t belonged to an
Empress of Japan who lived in the
thirteenth century, and it has been kept
all these centuries in temple near
Yokohama, where the priests will ex-
hibit it for sufficient reward. 1t is
kept in an old Golfer, and it is shroud-
ed in white silk. The robe or robes,
for there are several of them, are de-
scribed as a diaphanous mass, crum-
bling at the edges with decay. The
material is crepe or some filmy stuff
1t is made with a long train, pagoda
sleeves, and a high collar like Medici
ruff. The upper layer was once white
and is now the color of ivory, embroid-
cred with flying birds the size of crows,
with dragons heads-green, blue and
violet. Then come several layers of
the silk muslin-yellow, blue, violet,
old gold and green, on which seem
scattered strange animals all in flight
The seventh one, which touches the
body of the long dead Empress, is vio-
let embroidered with figures like phan-
toms. The embroidery on this wonder
full robe is said to be as transparent as
the gauze. The effect of the whole is
smoke-colored.

NATURES LOVE MAKING.
Birds and Insects Must Put on FrilIs
When Courtinp,

When Courting.
The wooing of birds is most refined
and graceful. Love tunes their respec-
tive pipes, and they seek to captiyate
their mates by their sweetest notes and
most varied warblings.
The wood pigeon charms his lady
love by a series Of aerial evolutions
and a curious tapping of his strong
winged feathers, putting his breast and
tenderly cooing
AT mating time the plumage of male
birds is more handsome than at any
other period-indeed, some birds as
sumo different colors in the spring.
YelloW-hammers charm their mates
by displaying their tail feathers in the
form OF a fan; starlings chatter in the
sunshine to show the metallic beauty
of their breast feathers, and swallows
circle and double in graceful flight be-
fore their lady-loves.
Bright shells, flowers, feathers and
grasses are laid by the bower bird at
the entrance of his partners retreat;
and tiny humming birds WOO most as
siduously, showing off their lovely hues
and engaging in fierce combat with a
possible rival, even bringing nectar
from choice flowers for the delectation
Of their fairy brides.
Hen birds exhibit all the vagaries of
their sex, and pretend to be indiffer-
ent to the exertions of their admirers
Frogs have an original way of love
making, and as soon as evening shades
fall commence to croak loudly to their
mates, sometimes great numbers. of
them combining in one unmusical
chorus.
Counting among insects is often a
very elaborate affair. A male spider
will approach a female and amuse her
for some time with his antics 1t is
said that he twirls around and around,
crosses his legs, erects his body and
executes sort of may dance to eX
cite her admiration.
She is a very vicious lady and not al
ways pleased with his lovemaking;
sometimes he finds himself obliged to
ward her off, for she has a painful
mode of showing her displeasure, and
if she entirely disapproves of his at
tentions will fall upon him and rend
him to pieces.
One species of spider is said to have
a novel way Of making love, the sexes
communicating by means of strands of
web stretching from one retreat to the
other-a sort of telephone, so to speak.
Glow worms, according to some ma
turalists, use their luminaries as love
signals. The females of one species
seat themselves among the grass, while
the males, attracted by the light, dance
attendance round them.
Concerning fishes-the sticklebacks
occasionally resort to harsh treatment
attacking the females with open mouths
and erected spines. AS husbands their
behavior is certainly eccentric, for after
the female has deposited her eggs with
in the nest that he has prepared for
her, her lord and master drives her
away and proceeds to hatch them him

Dumas and His Econom tcel Son.

Alexander Dumas, the great French
story writer, was fond and proud of
his son Alexander, who also became a
famous author. His regard for him
was increased apparently by the fact
that the son had very good apprecia.
tion of the value of money-a quality
which the father did not possess in the
slightest degree.
A recent writer Of recollectons re-
lates that he once visited Dumas at st.
German. He had just been bitten in
the hand by his dog and was unable
to write, but was debating a novel.
His son went out as the visitor came
In.
Alexander has just left me-" said
the father. What good fellow that
boy is! Just fancy, this morning 1 re-
ceived $50 francs. He said to me, I'll
take 80 francs Of it, I didn't hear and
thought he was going to leave me only
80. So called out, Hold on! Let me
have 100 at least! But I tell you I'm
only going to take 80? he called out.
oh, OH said l, u thought you were
going to take the 600. Well, take as
much as you want"
What good-hearted fellow Alex
ander is,' added Dumas, proudly.

Sayed by His Boots.

During the French Revolution man
named Schlaberndorf, who possessed
considerable ability as a writer by
heartily espousing the cause of the
Girondists in all that emanated from
his pen, rendered himself obnoxious to
Robespierre, and, at the dictation Of
that fierce leader, was thrown into
prison.
When the death cart one morning
came to the prison for its load of those
who were that day to be mercilessly
butchered, Schlaberndorf's name was
on the list of the victims. The jailer
informed him that such was the case,
and he dressed himself for his last ride
with great care. His boots, however,
he could not find. Here, there, every
where, assisted by the jailer, he looked
for them in vain.
Il am quite willing to be executed"
said he to the jailer, after their fruit
less searrh, ''but, really, I should be
ashamed to go to the guillotine without
my boots. Nor do wish to detain
this excursion party" smiling grimly.
will it make any difference if my
execution is deferred till tomorrow?
By that time l shall probably succeed
In finding my boots"
Il don't know that it will matter
particularly when you are guillotined,"
responded the functionary.
Suppose we call. 1t tomorrow,
them
"All rightr' And the jailer allowed
Schlaberndorf to remain, not unwill-
ingly, as owing to his universal good
humor he was especially liked by jailer
and prisoners.
The following morning, when the
cart drew up before the prison door
for its batch Of victims, Schlabern-
dorf-boots and all-stood waiting the
summons of the jailer to take his place
therein. But his name was not called
that morning, nor the fourth, nor, in
deed, ever again. For, of course, it
was believed he had perished on the
original morning Till the sway of
Robespierre had ended he remained in
prison; then he regained his liberty, to-
gether with his fellow prisoners whose
heads had not fallen beneath the blood.

In Church Walls.

Many of the older churches in Eng
land and western Europe have jugs or
jars embedded in their walls, the
mouths opening into the interior. For
a long time the openings were suppos-
ed to be holes in the walls, but a
closer examination a number of years
ago, on one or two of these old build
ings, disclosed the fact that the open
ingS were the neckS of jugs. Most Of
the old churches erected from the
eleventh to the seventeenth centuries
have them, and in some they are pres
ent in great numbers. A church in
Leeds has over fifty, while this number
is considerably exceeded in some Of
the old French churches, nearly two
hundred having been counted in the
Cathedral of Angouleme. The expla-
nation of their presence is simple.
They are placed in the walls with
view to bettering the acoustic proper
ties of the building. The efficiency Of
this strange device is certainly open to
question
