The continued dry weather is having
q decided effect upon the butter market,
the real product of the churn going up
until it is pretty near out Of sight. This
makes green pastures for oieomaraglne
makers and dealers, thou9h-and for the
slaughterers OF cattle and hogs as well,
who find an increased demand at the
marcy factories for leaf fat which, with
cotton seed oil and other oleogenous
substances, constitutes the counterfeit Of
the udder's product. And the helpless
consumer. he pays the freight.

The continued dry weather that has
prevailed for five or six weeks, occur
ring at time when moisture is needed
for winter wheat as much as it is for the
growing crops of spring and summer,
emphasizes the necessity for compre-
hensive system of irrigation. These
facts and conditions should impress
upon all who are directly interested in
this most important matter the necessity
for prompt and united action, and to
this end all should do what they can
towards encouraging the promoters of
the interstate irrigation convention to be
held in this city on the 22nd of this
month, by giving them substantial aid
and making suggestions of points that
may be calculated 20 add TO the interest
Of that occasion and make it the grand
success that all desire it shall be. Every
body can help, and everybody should.

MEN AND THEIR MONEY.
Character May be Read by Observing
Methods of Handling Cash.

Character May be Read by Observing
Methods of Handling Cash.
If you want to know something about
a mans character watch how he
handles his money. The generous,
careless man carries his money loose
in his pocket-copper, silver and gold
all mixed up together-and when he is
going to pay for anything he takes out
a handful and picks out the amount he
requires. He seems to have no fear of
robbery, for he is of trustful DISPOSE
ton, and, being perfectly honest HIM
self, thinks most others must be like
and imposed upon, yet he never en-
tirelv loses his faith in his fell
low-creatures A fine nature is
his-in fact, too fine to cope
with the many greedy, grasping NOR
tails that food the world The man
who, if he has to pay a few pence,
won't even take the trouble of count
ing out the amount of coppers, but
throws down a piece of silver to be
changed-and by the by he rarely
counts the change is type of "a fool
and his money are soon parted" Per-
haps love of display almost insepara-
BILE from such character, has some
thing to do with this. A careful man
always carries purse and keeps the
gold, silver and copper in different
compartments. A man like this never
wastes his money. He values it as it
ought to be valued, and, though not
niggardly, is determined to have his
moneys worth. He quite believes that
''any fool can make money, but it
takes wise man to keep it," and he is
right.
The mean man never lets you see
what money he has When he is going
to pay for anything he turns his back
to you, clutches his money tight and,
so to say, draws it out of his hand,
placing the coins down one by one, for
he is loath to part with them, even for
necessaries. Such man is not far re-
moved from miser, who rarely carries
money about his person at all, unless it
be sewn up in his clothes. The man
who jingles money in ninety nine cases
out of hundred hasn't got much. A
bunch of keys and few coppers make
a good deal of noise.-St. Louis Post
Dispatch.

THE MODERN VIKING SHIP.
A Close Copy Of the Boat in Which Lief
Erickson Sailed.

Erickson Sailed.
Nine centuries ago Lief Erickson, or
Lief the Lucky" found his way, it is
claimed, to the shores of America in
one of the sea-skimming dragons. and
skirted along our New Englnnd coast
long before Columbus crossed the At
lantic in his caravels; and the stone
tower at Newport, the age of which no
one seems to know, is thought by many
to have been built by the Vikings
crew.
Prominent Norwegians interested in
the debate as to whether Erickson real
ly did make this voyage, have patriot
ically contributed money to have ship
built in all respects similar to the one
found at Gokstad. She was sent across
the ocean on visit to America and the
Worlds fair as part OF Norway's ex-
hibit. She is seventy-sevenf feet long and
sixteen feet wide. Her rudder is on
tie starboard or 'steerboard'' side,
and she flies the ancient and
dreaded red flag and raven of the
pirates of old She has thirty oars,
worked by relays Of rowers from
crew OF eighty picked Norwegian
sailors, who brought her over the sea
with sail and oar. just as their forefa-
theirs came so long ago, amid icebergs
and storms
There is one difference, however; for
instead Of landing on rock-bound
coast inha bited by savage Indians, they
are welcomed BIZ a new nation, great
and free. in whose harDors is many an
iron war-ship greater and more terri
BILE than the Viking ever dreamed of.
But these men-of-war did not meet to
DESTROY one another in battle, but for
the purpose Of celebrating the coming

coverer. Column bus
