The PUBLIC DOMAIN.

The opening for settlement of the
Cherokee strip moved the New York
Sun to make calculation proving that
the government domain was now occu-
pied so completely that no material in
crease in the production of staple articles
of food was to be expected from any III
crease in the area under cultivation.
The Suns conclusion was that the price
of food products must necessarily rise,
while the land already under tillage be-
came in consequence more valuable.
The accuracy of this computation, which
attracted much attention and was widely
quoted. and which, by-the-way. has a
rather familiar sound in this vicinity,
is denied by the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
caat, which says:
sit is so far from being true that if all
the land owned by The government,
vacant and subject to entry, were in a
compact body. the European countries
of Germany, France, Italy, Spain.
Turkey, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium,
Denmark and Portugal could be set
down upon it with more room to spare
1t is so far from being true that the total
area of the United States, exclusive of
Alaska, more than one-fourth is still I'M
occupied and may be obtained from its
owner, the government, on the same
terms as the millions of acres that have
gone before. 1t is so far from being
true. that if every acre Of this land were
cultivated, Uncle Sam would still be
rich enough to provide 3.547 Az farms
of 100 acres each"

There IS 10 he a great celebration at
the exposition today, the 40lst anniver
sary OF the discovery of America. The
Italian commissioners are TO conduct the
ceremonies. Baron Fava, the Italian
minister, and his wife are to represent,
10y official appointment, the King and
Queen of Spain at the ceremonies, so
that it will be an affair of state. The
statue of Columbus will be crowned
with laurel and tableaux representing
the seven ages of Columbus will be
given in the Woman's building.

The Newton Republican makes a very

The Newton Republican makes very
important anti-calamity suggestion. 1t
says: Considering the amount of idle
land in Kansas, and its productiveness,
there is no excuse for the great number
of idle men seen on the streets. Onions
are selling at eighty cents bushel and
four hundred bushels have been raised
on a single acre. Sweet potatoes are
selling at ninety cents Il bushei. and one
hundred and fifty bushels is an average
crop. Irish potatoes will certainly be
worth one dollar a bushei before the
winter is over, and a hundred bushels
an acre is low average crop. Anyone
can raise onions and potatoes. Land
can be rented in this vicinity for S. an
acre. Green stuff pays still higher re-
turns.

The Twentieth Century.

From the Chicago Times
The question was asked an eastern
journal: Does the twentieth century
begin at 1901 a. m. January 1, 1900, or
does it begin the same time January 1,
1900?' and the answer given was this:
Suppose you had several hundred silver
dollars and wished to divide them into
piles of 800 each. Would you stop
counting when you had $40 in one pile
in order that your second pile might be-
gin with dollar number 100? Not bit.
Your first 500 pile would not be COM
plete until tho one hundredth dollar
was in it, and your second 500 pile
would begin with dollar number 101.
Isn't it the same way with the centur-
iesY'

Conclusive Evidence.

From the Lawrence World.
The Populists are agsravatingly de-
ficient in dignity. S. S. King ran for
congress and the United States senate
and then was glad to be made police
judge of his town. Fred Close ran for
congress and was made the governors
private secretary. DIR. Wharton ran for
Congress and then accepted an inferior
cIerhship in the legislature. Now Mrs.
John G. Otis is after clerkship in the
pension Office, All of this is conclusive
evidence that they are after the offices
solely.

An all important fact in connection
with photography lies in the illumina-
ton. There are good days and bad days
days when the sun shines so brightly
that the shadows are distinct and out
lines are sharp and perfect. To obtain
a negative under the best conditions the
exposure should DO made when the SUMS
rays have attained an anglo Of about 80
degrees on IN object situated about 20
feet from the operator, who should have
the sun behind his back. The general
tone Of the light should be blue; a yell
low, hazy atmosphere viii never give a
satisfactory negative.
No matter how perfect a machine may
be, good results cannot DO obtained if
the operator is not careful to observe the
needs of the moment. The camera may
be pointed too high or too low, directly
in the SUMS path, or the hand may press
the button at the wrong moment, or with
a tremor that will aus the shutter to
slide unevenly.-Outing.

Some Of the best botanical works of
the past generation were issued under
the patronage Of the Empress Josephine,
who was herself very fond Of gardening.
A recent account says Of her:
JOsephine's favorite employment-it
was more than a diyersion-was horti-
culture. She was not in any sense a
scientist. She loved nature for natures
sake, and her hothouses and gardens
were her long and lasting delight. In
those days such pleasures were costly,
and more than once after her divorce
complaints were made that she overdrew
her rather large annuity. Napoleon was
liberal himself, but tho state interfered,
and on one occasion he was compelled to
delegate n minister to warn her Of the
consequences of her horticultural ex-
trayagance -Meehan'8 Monthly.

Virgil made Eneas land at a port

hundred years before the poets own
time, and in three separate places re-
wives characters killed earlier in the
poem. The anachronisms of Shakespeare
are legion. In the "Winter's Tale" he
speaks of the coast of Bohemia, an inland
country, and in "Coriolanus" calls
Delphi an island, whereas it is q city Of
Greece. The "beetling cliffs Of E%lsinore"
are mentioned, but Elsinore has no cliffs,
while although the Danes were, in lam
let's time, pagans, the Ghost in "Ham-

speaks Of st. Bennet's church in London.

While l was struggling desperately to
force my way through the throng and
reach the spot, the ropes were stripped
from the prisoner, q slip moose IN the
grapevine thrown around his neck, and
he was dragged away TO the designated
spot. One end of tho vine weighted
with a small stone was thrown over a
huge limb. The jury seized it as it fell
and pulled with might and main. The
doomed man rose, wildly kicking and
struggling against the background Of
blue sky. He was already several feet
in tho air when n hitch occurred. The
jury gave a jerk. With a snap the grape
vine broke, piling them in a heap on the
ground. In an instant Nicodemus was
making for the woods, descending the
hill 20 feet ct o bound, with half the
grapevine standing out straight behind
him, and the whole crowd, Uncle Cephas
in the van, in headlong pursuit.
Before 100 yards were covered it was
clear that Pop Castle would witness nc
