Keen the Carbon Clean.

One may have a garden practically
clear of weeds if he will begin and
perSevere, keeping at it the whole
summer, letting no weed get past its
first seed leaves. Then they are
easily killed by light, sharp-toothed
steel rake drawn over the soil not.
mUre than one inch deep. If the
ground is examined the young plants
may be seen on the surface like short
white threads, and one hours expos
ure kills them. 1t is good plan to
use fertilizers in the garden, and for
the other and bulky matter get de-
cayed leaves from the woods and
swamp muck, mixing them with
lime and composing them with the
house wastes for the year before the
manure is wanted. This is spaded
or plowed in the fall, after the crops
are gathered, and it will serve every
purpose of stable manure, without
the risk Of sowing seeds with it,

In the putreScent Breckenridge
Pollard case the jury found for the
plaintiff, giving her $3.50 for the
damage done to her rather elastic af-
fections by the gray-haired old roue
whose RIGHTEOUSNESS and life Of lies
have dishonored himself, a great
name, a trusting constituency, and
his high position The Pollard sued
for $4,000, but the jury evidently
considered that she had put too high
a price upon affections which, accord
ing to the evidence, had been hawked
about for some time before they
came into the blighting possession Of
Breckenridge However, $4,000 or
$l5, 900, the verdict eternally damns
w. c. p. Breckenridge and utterly
blasts all chances of future POLITICAL
future for him, had not his cOwardly
and indecent tactics of defense al
ready done so. The Pollard stands
small show of ever collecting the
price of her dishonor, and her So
called "vindication" would be an
honester woman's curse. They both
have earned the contempt of the
community they have Disguised and
insulted, and their blighted futures
are more than we'll deserved.

broad Tires on the Farm.

Some Of the Massachusetts towns
are giving practical support to i'm
proving the country roads by ordering
that all town garbage wagons, water
ing carts should use the broad tires
on the wheels Nothing cuts up a,
road so badly as the narrow tire on
the vehicle that is sustaining big
load. This occasions the horrible
ruts which destroy often the besU.
roads during certain seasons of the
year.
The use Of broad tires by the farm
ers is to be urged everywhere, es-
pecially in this State. When the
farmer does this it will be a big ad-
vance toward the solution Of the good
road problem. 1t will be a saving to
every farmer if he would make it a
rule that the next time his heavy
wagon goes to the smiths he will
have a wide tire replace the present
narrow one. The result would be a
great saving in wear and tear to
horse, wagon, and harness Albany

none too scientifically followed. We
eat, we live, but we might do both
with far more pleasure and profit if
more were generally known about
cooking. Boston, where much is
known that she is too superior to

ONE of the latest chemical dlscOv-
cries is a method for the artificial pro-
duction of petroleum. The process is
simple and effective. 1t is the dis
tillation of animal fats and oils at
a temperature of 300 to 400 degrees
Centigrade at a pressure Of twenty
five atmospheres in strong iron
vessel. About 70 per cent of the
fatty matter is transformed into pc
troleum, this being 90 per cent, of
the theoretical yield The discovery
is not Of any commercial Importance
up to date, as the artificial product
costs a great deal more than the ma
tural product Of the rock. But for
aught any one is justified in saying
to the contrary all this may be
changed within the next few years
by the use Of cheaper basic material,
or because Of the increasing scarcity
Of petroleum, or BOTH The matter,
in any event, is one of great scientific
interest. 1t tends to show how the
natural article has been produced by
the processes of nature, while it may
prove to be the starting point in an
investigation that will lead up to
other discoveries having a more prac.
tical bearing.

Odds and Ends.

A NEW, soft paint brush is good
thing TO dust carved furniture With,
as the bristles will penetrate the
deepest crevices.
A BEEFSTEAK cut an inch thick
will be cooked rare in ten minutes
A mutton chop cut three.fourths Of
an inch thick will cook in eight min
utes. Veal and pork must be broiled
slowly and for long time. There
should not be trace of pink in the
fihers when the meat is done The
chops should not he cut more than
half an inch thick. They will be
done with twenty minutes cooking.
A NEW use has been found for pO-
tatoes. Paint can be made with
them in the following manner: A
pound of potatoes is boiled in water
and afterwards mashed, then, being
diluted with water, they are passed
through fine seive, two pounds of
Spanish white and two pounds of
water being added. A. milk-white
color results. Various other colUrS
can be obtained by the use of 0chres
and minerals. The advantages of the
paint are cheapncss and durability,
as it adheres we'll to wood or plaster,
and does not peel.
A NEW YORK paper furnishes a
suggestion for the cleaning Of straw
hats. 1t is This: The white sailor
hats of any of the family may be
cleaned and whitened by rubbing
them with lemon juice Cut the
lemon in halves and rub vigorously,
first laying the hat on clean cloth,
on fat surface, so that it will not
get out of shape. After using the
lemon, brush the hat thoroughly With
tepid water containing half te&-
spoonful or boraX, Remove the hat
band, or cover it in cleaning, 50 that
it will not be discolored.

Of 1852.
At Barnes the revival resulted in the
conversion of 148 people. of whom 1903
Joined the Methodist church and forty

The material is on the ground and
the city engineer has given the street
line to the contractors for the North To-
peka Christian church. Construction
will begin at once.
The Kansas delegation to the general
assembly of the United Presbyterian
church, which is to be held in Albany,
Ore, beginning May 90, left Topeka in
a special car over the Union Pacific,
with Rev. Morrow, of Lawrence, and
Rev. McKirahan, of Topeka, in charge.
Topeka Mail: The North Christian
church is being built on the cooperative
plan. Members of the church all con-
tribute in some way towards the erec-
ton of the edifce. Some of the ladies of
the church assisted in hauling founda-
ton stone this week. When erected the
church will cost about $1,000.
The household furnishings of Christ's
hospital at Topeka have been al
most entirely supplied by the various
missionary societies of the Episcopal
church, from the beginning.
May was the seventh anniversary
of the conservation of the Ri Rev.
Elisha S. Thomas to the bishopric Of

The Right Kind of Partnership.

AS a rule, partners are not advan-
tageous in moderate enterprises. One
exception which will be admitted by
the careful thinker is where father
can take his son or sons into partner
ship with him, and thus start them
in life in business way. Such ar.
rangements are often best for all con-
cerned The father may need the
push and dash that young blood will
put into the business, while the son
or sons may need the steady guiding
hand of the father. Old men fire.
Quently fail because of their too con-
sentative way of doing business,
while young men make failures be-
cause of taking too great risks or
lack of experience, A partnership Of
this kind is but natural combina-
tion, and if properly managed, leads
to great success.
In a business depending upon the
public for patronage, firm Of this
kind has much in the name to recon-
mend it. No matter how dishonest
and tricky men may be, there are
few who care to teach their children
to follow disreputable methods, A
firm composed Of father and son is
therefore regarded with much favor
by the public. There are exceptions
to this rule, also, but in most Of
cases it holds good A man gener-
ally has enough manhood about him
TO recommend him to strangers who
is considerable enough with his own
children to take them with him into
business enterprises There are but
few things that Indicate honesty in
tegrity, and a noble purpose more
than this.
But the advantages of such CO.
partnerships are not always found in
the financial side Of the question.
Neither is it necessary to be engaged
in a business that depends upon the
outside world for success before such
arrangements can be made to advant-
age. An undisputed and well defined
interest in a few acres of grain, a colt
that may deyelope into q valuable
horse, or a bunch of pigs that can be
turned into money in the future, may
awaken an interest in the mind OF
the boy that wo uld change the whole
character of his life. The reason
there are so many poor business men
among farmers is simply because
they have never been taught business.
There is no better way to teach boys
business principles than TO take them
into partnership aud develop their
minds in the right direction. Give
the boys a chance, and it will be their
fault II they fail. Otherwise it will

shrink from the faint Of vice and
keep 1t pure.

RUSSIA is said to have the strong
est Of all laws yet devised to regulate
the sale Of bogus butter. In that
country the stuff must be colored in
some bright color other than yellow,
in packages Of the same color 1t
cannot be sold in shops where genu-
inc butter is sold, and every bogus
butter shop must carry a signboard
informing the public Of the fact. At
all public places where food is pre-
pared with bogus butter public an
nouncement of the fact must be made
on the bill Of fare. Are these condi-
tlons hard9 Why? Those who use
and sell butter are perfectly willing
to advertise the fact. Why should
the oleo men object to like publicity
unless they want to make the people
think this stuff is butter?

GREAT consideration is being ex-
tended to drunkards nowadays. 1t
is undoubtedly kindly and charitable
to help victims of the liquor habit
along the road to sobriety, but the
growing disposition to make them
wards Of the state appears to be car
rying the movement too far. The
Maryland Legislature has passed a
bill providing that any habitual
drunkard or drug user may, upon ap.
plication to county Judge, be sent
to an Institution for the medical
treatment of drunkenness at the cost
of the State. This will involve a
great expense to the taXpayers-an
expense which should not be imposed
upon them. There is no more reason
why dipsomaniacs should receive the
services of specialists at the public
charge than that rheumattcs OF
paralytics or people afflicted with
consumption should be packed off tC
high-priced private sanitariums. The
Maryland law allows 500 for each
case, and if any considerable number
of liquor users avail themselves of the
opportunity offered the State will
have to issue bonds to meet the ex
pense. The matter is one for private
charity and individual effort The
dipsOmaniacs are no more entitled t
special consider ton than are tAt
ordinary KUN of invalids.

Care of Horses.

Driving horses are frequently in
jured, but never by judicious driving.
The injury results rather from neg
lect of proper care and attention
after driving and while unemployed.
A driving horse may be injured for
a want of providing sufficient eXer-
else. The limbs of the animal and
the hoofs may become injured by the
animal being confined several days in
a narrow stall with no opportunity
for exercise; and this is likely to be
further aggravated by being obliged
to staud upon a plank floor, although
it is better to stand upon the bare
floor than to stand uEon mass OF
bedding that is liable to fermenta-
ton and injury to the feet II the
horse IS to be confined constantly in
the stable by all means give it suiti'
Gent room to allow perfect freedom
in,moving about, exercising the legs

Eli Titus, live stock agent OF tho San

tory, this year, had been about the same
as laar year. Cattle from Arizona and
New Mexico are moving freely to Kan
sas pastures. Shipments Of cattle from
southern California to Kansas TO DO
grazed, on account OF the drought in
California, have commenced, the first ship
ment having been made from Ventura.
The Santa Fe has made a very liberal
rate to California stock owners who are
forced to remove their cattle TO place

of January the Santa Fe has brought to
Kansas City, Kans., several thousand
more cattle than the corresponding time

COMPETENT authorities estimate
that not less than four hundred mill
ion human mummies were made in
Egypt from the time Of the begin .
ming of the art of embalming until
its discontinuance in the seventh
century. Herodotus and Diodorus
both agree in the statement that
there were three grades in the en-
balming process; the first costing not
less than a sum equal to 1925, the
second about one-1fth OF that amount,
and the third cheaper than common
earth burial.

ones slanting to cross each other.
The pole in the middle is shorter and
set vertical to reach the two which

vines reach the point where the poles
cross they will entwine themselves so
strongly around the three poles, that
with the strong base they have and
the firm hold in the ground, hur-

sooth, the man whom he killed was
not the man he wanted to kill, Prob
