The latest Boston science is oekol-
ogy. The derivation of the term is
evident. 1t is from the Greek oikos,
meaning house, and the familiar
termination, logy, from logos. Hence
we have, then, household science.
Thus is housekeeping, with its various
departments, lifted among the learned,
pursuits. 1t will rank hereafter with
philology mineralogy, physiology,
and archaeology. We may now look
for the establishment of a chair of
oekOlOgy in Yale, with lectures on
such subjects as; History of the
Flapjack, How to Make Bed, Early
Forms of the Tea Biscuit, Condensa-
ton as Applied to Fats, etc. Grad
yates of the course will be known as
O. B., o. M. or o. d., bachelor, mas
ter or doctor Of oekolo y, as the case
may be. 1t is strongly suspected that
the new science is device of the old
maids Of New England to create a
matrimonial boom, if possible, The
status of feminine learning can be
kept at its present elevated level, but
the degrees Of the fair graduates, in
stead of being matrimonial handi-
cap, will become a recommendation
1t will be said of a learned Bostonian,
she is distinguished oekologist, and
the men, instead Of shuddering, as
they do at present, will flock eagerly
about her. Much has been done of
late to reconcile religion with science.
If successful scheme has now been
Matched to make our intellectual
women proficient in household duties,
a marked improvement in the relig-
ious status of men will be an imme-
date result.

Dodge City letter: The Arkansas
Valley Land and Irrigation company,
which owns over 100000 acres in west
ern Kansas, taken in by various Kansas
mortgage companies, are making ar
engagements to break all their lands this
winter and spring, Superintendent
George W. Watson pacing contracts all
over this county with the farmers for
breaking. He says that they want to
have at least 1000 acres broken in Ford
county. They pay $3.50 per acre for
breaking and lease the ground to the
party doing the breaking, if he wants
it. Their intention is to break out 100
acres ON each quarter section, leaving
forty acres for a small pasture. This
is good thing for Ford county and
the other counties in this part of the
country. Mr. Watson informs us that
he has 10000 acres in cultivation and
has it all in wheat or nearly so. They
had in last year 1900 acres, and even
at the low price of wheat they will
make at least $3.50 per acre on each
and every acre they had in cultivation.
They break this year as far west as the
west line of Gray county, taking
everything clean from Pawnee county
west that is on the line of the Santa Fe
railroad through Rush and Ness Coun-
ties, taking in Hodgeman county on the
branch, and Gray, Edwards, Ford and
Pawnee on the main line Also Stafford
and the south part Of Edwards on the
cutoff.

The proposition to make the
gramme the unit Of weight for gold
coinage raises the question, what is
a gramme?" 1t is the one thousandth
part Of the French weight, which is
equal to 2.2046 avoirdupos pounds Of
1000 grains each. Therefore, it con-
tains 15.432 grains, and the 1922
grains Of pure gold in the American
dollar are equal to 1906 or a triheI
over one and half grammes. And
this suggests point recently made to.

for the reason that the word thus
shortened is easily COMPOUNDED with

SOME ARE HARD TO PLEASE,
A Pious Music Teacher Who Didn't Care
Much About Eating.

"a plous lady down south had {
husband who was rich, but an athe
ist" says the New York Tribune
"a conference Of ministers was bein,
held in the town near this Colone
BIS fine plantation, and Mrs. b.,
when she started in the morning tc
attend the conference, told her hus,
band that she would like to bring
back a lot of the holy men to din
ner with her in the evening. She
thought secretly that they might
convert the Colonel. He agreed tc
welcome them and Mrs. B. ordered
the cook to prepare a dinner accord,
lngly
'After she had gone the Colonel
asked the cook what Mrs. B. had
ordered. He found that one turkey
was all that she had thought neces.
sary and his big southern hospitality
was shocked at the idea. He did not
like preachers as a class, but If they
were to eat at his table at all then
they should be treated in a way to do
credit to the plantation and the fam
lily. Accordingly he ordered ducks,
geese, chickens, pigeon, turtle, lamb,
mutton, beef, veal, pork, oysters and
trout, besides the turkey He ordered
vegetables and pastry in proportion,
and by the time it was all on the
great table, set out with the family
silver there was almost enough for
forty preachers,
Presently the Colonel's wife re-
turned and with her was only one
little, wizened, long-haired, freckled
young man, She introduced it to the
big Colonel, who could only gasp,
Is that all, Claribel?' All the
preachers l found had previous en-
gagements, whispered his wife In a
disappointed tone, but this young
man Is a music teacher, who led the
choir at the convention. He is very.
pious aud gives promise Of great
things. l hope you won't use anv
bad language while he. is here, Col
Onel.'
WELL they sat down to the loaded
table, the Colonel, his wife, the
organ player, and the Colone's son
Rob, aged 10, sturdy, violent, I'M
tanned, a careful observer of his faith
er's WAYS, and cleaner Of his fathers
oaths, constant source of worry to
his mother, and the idol and king Of
every negro on the plantation.
"'Wlll you have some turtle soup,
STRIP asked the genial Colonel, BEAM
ing with pleasure as the darkies re-
moved the covers,
"'No, thanks, replied the organ
player. i never take SOUP
" Some oyster them,

"'No, thanks
Pigeon?'
"'Never eat pigeon, thank YOU
