The fad" of beer drinking may look

kidney disease, as direct consequence.
And that IS not trivial. That means the

the extinction of the race were it not
for two things.
1. There is always hope of reforma-

the dangerous increase of kidney dis

be reform. This will assure future

2. AS to the afflicted of to-day,

COWS. CATS AND RATS.

a Parable Worth Reading, No Matter
Which Side One Is On.
A waiter in the Topeka Capitol says
that once there ,Eas very rich man.
and he was the king of the land. and
the wealth and the talent and other
good things of his dominion were pretty
evenly distributed; but the people of
Catarugas county were cutter than any
body.
They could raise Cats to beat the
earth, and SO one day while they were
down they showed the King, who
owned a great many Cows, that If he
would exchange Cows for Cats, head
for head, a Cat would be worth as
much as Cow; because it could be ex-
changed for a Cow" and this increase
in the value of Cats would add vastly to
the wealth of the Kings realm, and the
wealth of all the people, and the hap
piness of every body, and SO the King,
who had a hundred million Cows, is
sued his proclamation and be-
gan the good work of exchanging
Cows for Cats as requested; and so it
turned out, sure enough that Cats @ere
worth as much as Cows: and then all
the merchants and men in trade &C
copied Cats in exchange for goods and
in payment of debts the same as if they
were Cows and laboring men of the
realm took Cats for their pay, and
everything was lovely and everybody
was happy and the people from Cata-
rugas county smiled the most, and as
the business progressed merrily it was
found that the Kings backyard began
to fill up with Cats, while the Cows in
the corral began to thin out, and then
the King tumbled. and he said: ''Ho!
no. you are doing me up! You will
soon have all my good Cows while l
will have only your common Cats;
but the Cat men were nervy, and
they said to the King: "A Cat
is worth as much as Cow, and
if anybody wants to exchange Cat for
a Cow, why, you just give him Cat
instead; it will do just as WE'LL and so
after that the King of the land froze to
his Cows and paid off all of his officers
and soldiers and pensioners and labor
ers in Cats, and they roared. and well
they might; because, as soon as the
King squealed on the Cats everybody
shook them because they could no
longer exchange them for Cows, and
all the merchants and men in trade in
stead of giving Cows worth of goods
for a Cat, would only give a Cats
worth, and the laboring men of the
realm now got Cats where before they
1ad got Cows and they were hot about
t, and when the Cat men told them,
rou can still pay debts with the Cats,
he same as if they were Cows, they

AN INSIDE OPINION.
POpulist View Of Our POpulist GOvernt
and HIS Appointments.

A POpulist View of Our Populist Governor
and HIS Appointments.
Republican denunciation of Gov. Lew
cling may not be given full faith and
credit by populist sympathisers, but
when the populist editors speak right
out in meeting and tell what they know
and what the rest of the world knows
about the great Iowa tramp who in
ha bits our governors Office then the
best of populists ought to listen. Here
is sample brick from the arsenal of
the Topeka Populist:
..Attorney-General Little and Gov.
Lewelling are insisting that the NJ. X. &
T. offices remain in Parsons. On the
face of the reports it looks as though
they were in earnest. But the journal
SAYS that the governor has retained
ex-senator c. H. Kimball to keep him
posted and assist him in the matter.
If this be true the whole business is
probably fraud as far as the state add
ministration is concerned and only in
tended for political effect, for c. H.
Kimball is one of the dirtiest and most
contemplate corporation whelps in
the state. He is one of the same breed
as Jim Legate and John V. Moffat.
those other friends of the governor
from whom all decent men revolt. If
Kimball is in it the whole thing is a
fraud. After enough buster to enable
the governor to hoodwink the people
by saving: See how stand for the peO-
ple.' the fuss will settle down and the
railroads will do as they please. Great
is humbug in the governors office"
The fact is that the man who is ca
pable of such a fraud as that worked
on the state last winter by Lewelling
is capable of any other fraud. Lew
elling's appointments have nearly all
been surprises to his own party and
paralyzers to decent people generally.

THE HOMING PIGEON.
Dropped from n Great Height 1t Falls
Like Lead.

Like Lead.
Year by year the interest in carrier
pigeons increases. BELGIUM takes the
lead. but other countries are not far
behind. The facility with which the
bird determines its course is as yet un
explained. To attribute this knowl-
edge of direction to instinct is merely
confession of ignorance. 1t is much
rather sight, reflection, and sensation
which guide the carrier pigeon on its
course. and rarely guide it wrong. The
same faculty is possessed by all migra-
tory birds. To form an intelligent con-
ception of this faculty. we must assume
either a special sense or a delicate
sensitiveness to atmospheric currents.
The numerous experiments made by
ballOOnists have proved that pigeons
are incapable of flying at any great
height. Birds thrown out at six thou
sand meters. fell like lead. and even at
the moderate height of three hundred
meters pigeons liberated by the Bal
loonist Castor Tissandier, approached
the earth in a spiral course. 1t is evil
dent. hence, that they are not guided
wholly by sight. To bring a point
three hundred miles distant within the
range of vision it would be necessary to
to ascend nearly twenty thousand me
tiers. The carrier pigeon, starting on
such a journey. must consequently start
with. faith in the unseen.
AS regards speed, thirty or thirty
five miles an hour is considered fair
average in good weather. The greater
the distance, the smaller the proba bill
ty of the prompt return of the bird.
At distance of. say one hundred miles,
almost all birds return safely if the
weather is favorable, but at distances
of four hundred or five hundred miles
it is impossible to reckon confidently
on the birds return. 1t appears curl
Gus. but it is a well-esta blished fact,
that as the bird nears it's home its
speed is accelerated.
There is nothing to choose between
the male and female in point of speed.
nor is the carrier pigeon distinct va
riety. All domestic. pigeons are pre-
sumably descended from the blue-rock
pigeon. and all are more or less suited
to the purpose. The common pigeon
is not used, for, although rapid flier
for short distances. he has no great
staying powers
In the first year the trainer rarely
allows bird to exceed distance of
ninety miles: the following year the
distance may be extended to two hun
dred and fifty miles; and in the third
year, when the bird is at the height of
his powers. the limit may be extended
to three hundred and fifty to four hun
bred miles.-Philadelph Press.
