Another excellent use for crash Is in

neat person will not wear q kitchen

Some Bad Spelling.

The attention of the authorities at
Washington has been called to GER
tain inaccuracies in the spelling of
geographical names. For example,
it is suggested that Queen Elizabet this
gallant knight spelled his name Wal
ter Raleigh. Arundel county, in Mary
land, was named for Anne Arundel
and should have another /. Duchess
county, in New York, was named in
honor of the duchess of York, and had
nothing to do with the Dutch, as its
name might signify.

That is why the Cures by Hoods
Sarsaparilla are permanent. They do
not rest upon the insecure support of
temporary stimulant, opiate OF nerve o
compound, but upon the solid founda-
ton of vitalized, enriched and purified
blood. Read this:

Raw SILK in Kansas.

The state of Kansas can boast of the
only silk filature in the United States.
1t is q state silk station at Peabody,
where ten reels are operated. The
business of the station is to supply
silk-worms free to all Kansas appi-
cants. The cocoons that are raised
from these eggs are purchased at the
rate of 81 per pound and reeled in the
filature. Not very many persons OBJ
tain eggs from the station and raise
cocoons, but those who do make from
$40 to 500 each spring for the six
weeks work required. The raw silk
from the Kansas grown cocoons is the
best in the world, according to one of
the leading importers in this country.

she generally uses but one crutch, the dis
ease having left one leg crooked, and fear
it will remain 80. We feel that to Hoods

A Few Words on Manners.

Manner is little hard to define. It
is something to be felt, the expression
OF a persons life and thought One
girl has bright and vivacious manner,
and another is calm and dignified. The
rude and brusque young person makes
her companions uncomfortable. The
well-bred person makes those about her
happy. No weil-bred person has bad
manners, though such a person may
nave shy or awkward or reserved man.

tupe, the former is ones fault. L am
glad that the girls are returning to the
beautiful courtesy of bending the knee
and the body, as well as the head; 1t Is

erence than a mere bow. Nothing
about manner in a young girl Is so be-
W1tchfng as Difference, paying atten-
ton to older people, showing kindness
to younger ones, and setting everybody
at ease.
If you are In doubt how to behave ON
any occasion, look at the people about
you, and see what most Of them do.
The majority are generally right. There
are one or two rules always to be OBJ
served. You speak to your hostess
when you go to a reception or party,
and you wish her goodnight when you
leave. At the table you wait until the
lady Of the house is seated before you
seat yourself You thank everyone
who does you service. You are care
full not to interrupt conversation; you
do not set older people right even IL
you know they are mistaken; you do
not try to get the best place yourself,
you endeavor to give that to your
friend.-Harper's Young People.

a success that the quarters are going

that the office had to be kept open in

Ex-Secretary of State R. S. Osborn has
shown STATE JOURNAL reporter some
letters he received from s. B. West, rela-
tive to the first affidavit which was re-
Gently published, rejecting on ex-Rail-
road Commissioners Mitchell and Anth-
ony.
These letters show that West was at
the Moser hotel in St. Louis when he
first opened correspondence with the
Populist state officials
Secretary Osborn says West was paid
for his time and expenses in coming to
Topeka several times to make that
first affidavit but says that West
wanted more money, aud when he could
not get it went to Railroad Commissioner
Mitchell and afterwards boosted that he
made a second affidavit which would
take all the value out of the first one.
Bale Waggener has been interviewed
relative to the second West affidavit, and
he said: sit is a tissue of falsehoods
from beginning to end"
Mr.. Waggener said he has letters in
his possession, letters from West, which
show there is no truth in the statement
made in the second affidavit. Mr.. Wag
gener says he never saw West in st.
Louis, and this is confirmed by General
Superintendent Rathburn of the Mis-
souri, Pacific.
