A remarkable circular
sued giving the status OF the
production OF Missouri for abott =
dozen years past. which contairs fig
ures of vital interest 10 every residents
of the state. This document shows
that there was n steady increase In
the number of sheep owned In tho
state on 20 1882, when the number
reached its highest point, and then q
reduction set In. In 1850 there were
.436, $50 sheep owned In Missouri, and
1, 70s, 625 in 1881 At that point the
downward movement began. The num-
Der in 1854 was l,b42, 5l4, and in 1859
the total had shrunlS TO 7a9,0 05. Then
n turn upward took place, and there
had been n steady growth in the NUNS
Der afterward 10 1901. That Is, there
was an increase 20 1882, then de-
| crease TO 1889, and afterward an in
crease again 10 the close of 1897, tho
latest date given.
What were the causes OF these fiuc-
tuations? They were due 10 changes in
the rates OF duties on wool Under
the law OF 1867, when the duties were
ample for protection, there was .
steady and marked increase In sheep,
and this duty continued on to 1883,
when il was reduced in tho tariff re-
vision OF that year. That cut was re-
sponsible for the shrinl<age in the num-
Der OF sheep which,has been mentioned.
In 1890, in the Mckinley law, the wool
duties were increased, and that ex-
plains the growth in sheep aftcrward
: unto and including 1892. This connec-
! ton beween adequate duties and de-
! crease in sheep has been so close and
: persistent that il must be more than a
) mere coincidence. The former In each
! case must stand TO the latter in the
/ relation OF cause TO effect.

London Paper says nritlsh VIII Take Our
Market Under the Wilson nm.

We would specially urge our readers
who lay themselves out for foreign
trade To turn their attention 10 the
new tariff bill just passed by the United
States. which has already become
operative. The fact that Mckinleyism
has hit British manufacturers and ex-
porters very hard indeed, and in some
instances, where the United States
has been their only market, has vir-
tually ruined them, cannot be denied;
bet tkis = no reason why manufac-
turers who are still prepared To do
considerable business with the United
States should allow cold water 20 be
thrown upon their anticipations of the
future. II has become the fashion OF
late for a. certain class OF critics TO
deride American business and all
things American, presumably, be-
cause we have been afflicted Tor
a time with McKinleyism. Now
McKinleyism has completed its reign
of tinkering, at least for the present,
there Is an opportunity once more 70

pointment exists, there is no doubt

of the Wilson bill should have been 81
ruthlessly set on one side, but Eng
lishmen trading with the states vii

political morality of American legis
lators On the principle, therefore

undoubtedly awaits them in certai
branches of the trade. New market

If there is one position in which the nv
erage woman does not shine with dazzling
brilliancy, it is at hotel or restaurant
dining table. At her home she may be
the most self possessed and charming of
hostesscs, but let her undertake to act in
that capacity in restaurant, and she be
comes awkward, i'll at ease and uncom-
Portable.
In the first place she generally steers
straight for the least desirable spot in the
room. After she has sunk breathlessly
into the chair nearest the steam radiator
or directly in the draft, she nervuusly
scans the bill of fare. If she were giving
n luncheon at her own home, she would
of course, have ordered the daintiest repast
her judgment dictated, without consult
ing her guests. But when she gets some
unfortunate woman opposite her at a hotel
table the burden of choice is promptly
shifted to her.
When, after long and patient study and
many changes of mind, the luncheon has
been decided upon, the order is given in a
way which would excuse murder on the
walters part (which did you say you ID
have, Emmay" asks one, baked or French

and so on, until the waiter is distracted
OF course he gets somewhat mixed, and
then he is scolded. Finally, when the re-
past is safely over and he has helped both
women into their wraps, picked up their
gloves and handkerchiefs and found their
umbrellas, the hostess gives him nickel
telling her friend al the same time that
he doesn't deserve it, for the service was
outrageous.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Friendships of Snakes.

There is a certain GOODNESS almost to
be called a positive want of cordiality
between snakes and human beings
More, the snake is never a social favor
ite among the animals called lower. No
body makes an intimate friend of a
snake. Popular natural history books
are filled and running over with anec-
dotes of varying elegance and nendac-
ity, setting forth extraordinary affec-
ton and cooperation between cat and
mouse, horse and hen, pig and a
cockroach, camel and lobster, a COW
and u wheelbarrow and so on, but there
is never snake in one of these quaint
alliances. Snakes do not do that sort of
thing, and the anecdote designers imag
ination has not yet risen to the feat of
compelling them, although the stimulus
of competition may soon cause it.
The case most nearly approaching one
of friendship between man and snake
known to me is the case of Tyrrell, the
zoo snakekeeper, and his "laidly worms {"
But then the friendship is mostly on
Tyrrells side, and, moreover, Tyrrell is
rather more than human, as any one
will admit who sees him hang boa con
strictors around his neck. OF course
one often hears of boys making pets of
common English snakes, but n boy il
not human creature at all He is a
kind Of harry y.-Arthur Morrison in

The day of aerial navigation is at hand
Persons now living will see travel in the
air az common as it is now on land and
water. The writer of this prepared the
first comprehensive article on electric light
inr published in any Pittsburg newspa-
per and well remembers the confident as
sertions at the time that electricity could
not be used for light except in very crude
way, that it would never do for dwellings
That was only few years ago, but it is
already ancient history.
He published the first article on the ca
BILE railways which appeared in this city
summary of description and cost as Civ
en- by an agent trying to introduce the s-s-
TEN at Cincinnati. These things. which
would have been wonders in his boyhood
are commonplaces now Aerial navigation
Will be commonplace before many years
have passed. To the numerous short arti-
cles on this subject which have appeared
this one is added to show the progress
made toward the new means of passenger
and freight traffic.
To begin with, reference to Professor
Langley's recent paper ON the internal
work of the wind He found that in a
wind of 90 miles an hour there were fluc-
tuations ranging from 10 to 35 miles at in
tervals of only 90 seconds. From this he
argued condition of the wind involving
upward and backward currents, and these,
he believed, explained why birds can rise
and circle about without moving wing.
From this he proceeds to show how an
inclined plane, heavier than the air, may
rise and be sustained in motion in the
teeth of the wind by utilization of this
internal work Such n plane, capable of
changing its inclination, will gain energy
by falling and expend it by rising All
that it would need of power would be
such ms is necessary to carry it over the
region of calm For the rest it could de
pend on the internal work of the wind and
ON rising and falling. Pittsburg Times.

The ermiLSs Is queer animal. II is one
thing in winter and another thing in sum
mer. That is strange statement, but it
is true, for in winter the animals fur Is
as white as snow and is called the ermine
In summer its fur turns reddish brown on
the upper part of the body and light yell
low on the lower part The animal is then
known as the stoat.
This change is quite familiar TO natu-
ralists, but not to unscientihc people, and
the ermine and the stoat are therefore,
generally regarded as distinct animals.
The fur Of the ermine is much valued
and is in great request. At one time it
was mark OF great royalty, and the state
robes OF judges and magistrates were lined
with 1t as an emblem Of purity.
The ermine is so cunning In its ways
that 1t IL almost rs difficult 20 catch as il

about the only way TO capture it is 10

strew mud in its pathway. When the
dainty, fastidious little animal reaches
the point in its path where the mud is
strewn, it will lie down and subject itself

The question is often asked, "Will an
object thrown into the air-either from
the hand, volcano, or even when Shot
from a rifle or cannon-return to the earth
with the same initial velocity with which
it lefty" The answer is, A projectile
thrown vertically upward into the air will
return with velocity less than the ini-
tial. The word less is emphasized because
this view Of the matter is contrary to the
one generally accepted. In the air the ac
celebrating force which acts during the de
scent is not equal to the retarding force
during ascent. The retarding force is the
same for the weight of the prOjectile and
the atmospheric resistance-both acting
in the same direction In tie descent the
aocelerating force is the Inference of these
two since they act in opposite directions.
In vacuum it would be different. In that
case, the weight of the projectile being
the only force acting, this force would gen
crate in each foot of the bali exactly the
same amount Of velocity that it had lost
In its passage upward. Thus the final
would find it with speed equal to its in
itial velocity st Louis Republic.

MUSIC WITH MEALS.
One Respect In which Oklahoma Hot,

One Respect In Which Oklahoma Hotel
Keepers Are Up to Date.
The hotels Of Oklahoma up to last fall
were few and far between. Having tried
several with little satisfaction, party
of hungry ''tenderfeet" was directed by
a commercial traveller to a little place
on a corner. The commercial man said
1t did not look inviting, but it was clean
That was an inducement the party had
not heard of in that section, and il
turned in for supper The dining room
was one in which the family lived. A
folding bed stood in one corner. An old
time bureau was opposite. A box stove
was in the way, and about it were
several old fashioned rockers. A few
family pictures hung from the wall
with the old. old motto, invoking the
blessing of the powers celestial on the
household. The party asked for supper
and was told to be seated until the meal
was prepared. Two girls, delicate and
with much weariness in their faces,
spread the table. When the meal was
brought on, they simply said, supper is
ready" and disappeared.
The party gathered about the meal,
and it was agreeably disappointing.
While it was being ngdevoured-thati is the
best word to use, even at this distance
from the table-the two girls came into
the room, accompanied by their mother,
woman whose hair was white and
whose face was study. There must
have been time when she was beauti-
full They came in as if they had been
billed for the occasion. They went to
one corner of the room, and then the
party discovered that there was one of
those old time melodeons in an out of the
way place. The mother took her place
at the keys, and as the mournful melo-
dies responded to her touch the daugh-
ters sang, Nearer My God to Thee"
Nellie Gray" and then "Lorena."
Think of "Lorena" on melodeon in
Oklahomal The party having finished
supper, one of them paid the bill, and
then the music ceased 1t was ques-
ton which no one of that party was ever
able to agree upon, or they had not up
to last accounts. Was the music of that
night for the purpose of entertainment
or to forestall the possibility of dupli-
eating any of the orders? - Chicago

Aren't there some times in your life
when everything seems to go wrong no
matter how hard you try to have them
go right? Those are the trying days
when you want to blame all the trouble
on the way you got out of bed in the
morning or on other people instead of
looking the matter squarely in the face
and saying, "It's one of my exasperating
days, and if can only keep my temper
until night comes tomorrow will be diff.
ferent."
The trouble is when we feel ruffied
ourselves we somehow impart the feel
ing to others, and nine times out of ten
we either get into quarrel or do some
ugly, horrid little thing that we wouldn't
think of ON other occasions. If you can,
on these hateful days, manage to think
twice before you speak once it will save
a lot Of worry on the morrow. In fact,
that is good rule to go by at all times,
for Of all the unruly, mischief making
members the tongue is the most prom
inent.-Philadelphia Times.
