Harriers and Reacles.

The barrier is small fox-hound
averaging about five inches less in
height. 1t is used to some extent in
fox-hunting, but principally in hunting
the hare. If barriers are KEEP. for
hares it is said to injure them to use
them for any other game. There are
comparatively few of them in America.
A still smaller hound is the beagle
twelve or fourteen inches high. This
is the smallest of the hunting dogs
He used to be employed in chasing
hares in England, but in this he has
been almost entirely superseded by
the barrier. In this country he is be-
coming quite popular, as he is admir-
ably adapted for chasing the Amer
lean rabbit, which is not nearly
so fleet as the English hare. In gem
eral appearance the beagle is like the
fox-hound, though the ears of the
beagle are longer, and he has a slight
brush on his tail. His voice is par.icu-
larly musical, and before the fox-hound
became so fast, few beagles used to
be kept with every pack, as band of
music is kept with a regiment of sol
diers. A boy living in the country
where rabbits abound would get TO
end of sport out of one or two beagles.

TALMAGE'S TROUBLES.

The big Brooklyn tabernacle has been
the cause of ceaseless worryment to Par
son Talmage ever since the plan to build
it was conceived. He was months and
months in raising the funds necessary to
begin the work, and since the building
was completed the parson has had to
threaten to resign more than once to
jack the congregation up to meet its re-
quirements. Recently the treasurer
disappeared and with him upwards of
$780, 900 of the tabernacle's funds. To
make good the shortage the board OF
managers decided to exact an admission
fee of 10 cents from all who attended
the public services in the tabernacle,
but this riled the parson and he at once
indited fresh resignation and fired it at
the congregation. This, of course,
knocked Gus the 10 cent admission, and
the gospel according to Talmage will
continue to be expounded from the
sacred desk, free, while the managers
devise some other scheme to make good
the 500, 600 minus.
Look out for the announcement,
shortly, Of Talmage lecturing tour OF
the country.

If the inventive genius continues to
devote himself to improvement of the
bicycle, commonly called safety, it may
yet take the lead of all vehicles for light
and rapid locomotion. His latest az
tachment, to increase the speed of the
wheel. consists of fan wheel modelled
somewhat after the wheel of screw
steamer for navigation. The wheel is
attached TO the rear of the cycle aud
geared to motive power so as to be made
to revolve as the safety moves, the fan
wheel acting upon the air as the steam
ers screw wheel does in the water, thus
aiding in the propulsion of the vehicle.
1t is claimed that the increase in speed
more than compensates for the increase
in leg power required to run it.

THAT OBJECT LESSON,

There is a trte saying that "the devil
should have his dues" Grover Cleveland
is entitled to as much. Whatever derelic-
ton of duty, or usurpation of power, he
has kept one promise; he has given us
an object lesson in finance promised on
taking his seat. Yea. more: he has
given us many of them. In fact he
seems to have set himself up in that par.
tcular line of industry. No sooner is
one great issue disposed of than he brings
on another. That his lessons are
dearly bought and oppressive to
the people is no fault of his. That is
the misfortune of the people, which
counts for naught when opposed to his
dictum. 1t is four years course of
study-we must keep this in mind. We
are nearing the close of the freshman
year-let us be thankful for that. He is
a rigid disciplinarian, and our duties are
onerous, and we are learning fast, but
what of our progress thus far? We have
learned that taking $4.500,0O monthly
from our coinage of the pre-
cious metals adds greatly to
our circulation - Theoretically. We
have learned that the repeal of the
Sherman law gave new life to trade, and
set the business machinery of the coun-
try all in motion again-hypothetically.
We have witnessed the failure of more
banks, trust companies, business firms
and individuals than in any former
period of our history-in reality. We
of the country go into the hands OF re-
ceivers. We have learned that the price
of polk and lard has declined 20 per
cent, corn -, prints "a, sheeting 20.
We have seen practically all
the manufactures of the country
closed and we learn from this incident
that the revenues depended largely upon
the duties laid for their protection. We
have seen the treasury balance dwindle
to the verge of bankruptcy. We have
learned that the way to get rid of a
debt is to make new one, and have
seen in bold type the secretarv's order
FOR the issue of bonds. We learn
through the last weekly report that the
accumulation of money in the New
York banks. above the % per cent re-
quired, is S10a, $50, 900 and still growing.
We have seen men and women hungry
who would have scoffed the idea one
year ago. We hear of relief committees
and charitable work in every city and
village in the land, and we learn from
observation and close reading that these
things have all come around since March
4, 1898.
Dyes. we are learning, and we will
| not cavil about our lesson being of the
object variety. We may take up
theory later. There may be wisdom in
giving US the practical test first, that
the theory will be easy of comprehen-
sion as we advanced to the more abstruse
mental propositions later on. Mean

cial pedagogue of the age-the alumnis

Russian encroachment upon the open
way through the Mediterranean sea
from the orient to the continent may
not have had anything to do with bring
ing about reconciliation between the
emperor of Germany and the deposed
chancellor, Prince Bismarck, and the
latter cuts no figure, probably, in the
renewed activity in British naval circles
looking to a speedy increase in the eff
ficiency of that service; but these three
incidents coming in close connection,
and with general activity in military af-
fairs in all the powers, constitute a chain
of circumstances that looks very sus-
picious for breach of the peace of the
eastern hemisphere at any moment.
However, the idea over there seems to be
that thorough and complete preparation
for war all around is the surest safe
guard for perez. 1t may be SO, and may
it be so,

THE FUTURE ARKANSAS VALLEY.
a Rich Clover Field Five Hundred
Niles Long.

John II. Churchill, who owns big
ranch on the Arkansas river near Dodge
City, Bostonian by birth of Yankee
shrewdess and acquisitiveness. and who
is growing rich in raising alfalfa, de-
livered an address before the state agri-
cultural society at its late meeting, in
which the sub-irrigating underfiow of
the Arkansas valley and Its utilization
was set forth in terms that are encour-
aging 10 say the least. If his expert
ence but holds good, and the probabilities
are all in its favor, the upper Arkansas
valley will turn out to be one of the
richest regions on the globe, sans irriga
tons, sans change of climate and every
thing. The rolling prairies back from
the river will be utilized for spring and
summer pasturage and the bottoms for
winter feed. Alfalfa for hogs equals
grain. After five years of experience
Captain Churchill says:
II have solved the great problem of
irrigation in my section of the country.
When l first located there the bane of
the farmers existence was drought, and
consequent crop failures. l found that
anywhere along the valley Of the Arkan-
sas river you could dig down from six 10
twelve feet and find sponge-like soil
that was always saturated with water,
No matter whether rain had not fallen
for months and if every blade of grass
on the surface was burned to crisp by
the hot sun, you could dig and find
water. l learned that the alfalfa plant
sends root straight down for twelve
feet or more, and planted acres of it
to see how it would work. In two
years the roots of my alfalfa had reach
ed the wet soil beneath, and then it
grew rs it never grew anywhere
else before. | kept on planting it
and making money hand over fist l
bought more land and kept on planting
alfalfa. My neighbors followed my ex-
ample, and it is only question OF time
when the whole Arkansas valley will be
one vast alfalfa field. This year l clear
ed $40 an acre on my alfalfa fields. l
sold the grass for IS ton and the seed
for So bushel. 1t is perpetual crop.
No matter how bad the drought, you
can cut the grass and go out a few
hours afterwards and see the globales of
water standing all over the cut stalk,
where the root has sucked it up from
the subsoil. 1t needs no Cultivating.
Just plant it once and get it started, and
there you are. You can sit down at
your ease and watch it and your bank
account grow. It's the king of all crops
for the Arkansas valley"

A PRETTY FIX.

There is one thing of which the public
mind is convinced, and no amount of
demagogy will either dim or eradicate
it, and that is that Cleveland and
Gresham not only blundered in the
Hawaiian business, but that the efforts
which so resulted were all inspired by
dishonest political craft and personal
malice. Its all nonsense to talk about
the supposed mistakes of Stevens. for
they were patriotic at least, nor of what
the tool Blount did. for he was only a
tool, but Cleveland's biggotry and
Gresham's malice all the world see and
all America regrets. The ridiculous
thing about the whole matter is that the
Democratic majority in congress must
now pass vote of confidence in Cleve-
land and Gresham or Otherw wise offer
some excuse for not impeaching the
chief executive.
