GRAFTON Of the seed grain and . reporter
OF the Press looked up Q great number
of the applications. One thing IL Ger
tain. and that il that the majority OF the
applicants are farmers who certainly
would have means OF procuring seed il
the South Dakota seed law never exist
ed. It Is not Q case OF necessity, but q
very good investment for the farmer.
By invoking the aid OF the seed law the
farmer can procure his seed at a low
rate by reason OF the immense quantity
the commissioners purchase, and while
the county must put up the price from
of purchase until the following Septem-
Der, the granger is only taxed 10 per
cent by the county. A farmers money
nowadays is worth more than 10 per
cent to him-or, it would cost him more
10 borrow il he had no money. That
the applicants for grain are not confined
TO the merely neceesitous may be best
realized whsn the amount OF grain asked
for is known. While somewhat more
grain il asked for than granted the
amounts are practically the same. The
amount determined upon by the com
missioners is 1880 bushels OF wheat,
$500 bushels OF barley, 600 bushels OF
oats and 10000 bushels OF corn. The
seed will cost the county about $4,000
and it will probably be necessary to is
sue bonds TO that amount to advan-
~tageously care for the matter, A better
idea OF the amount OF grain comprehend.
ed In this order can be had by noting
that it will require sixty-seven cars 70
haul it IN, or about three trainloads.

Simplicity Of Japs.

The Philadelphia Record quotes
a traveller in Japan as saying that,
in spite OF their advance in civiliza-
tior, the Japanese retain much OF
their primitive simplicity. They
always leave their shoes at the door
OF . house when they enter and walk
inside in their stocking feet. When
the first railroad was started from
Yokohama to Toxic all the Japanese
gentlemen were crazy to ride. They
hurried to the station, kicked of
their shoes on the platform, and
entered the train. When they arrived
at Toxic they eagerly looked around
the platform for their shoes, and
great CONSERVATION prevailed when
these shoes were nowhere to be
found.

FIGHTING AGAINST FACT.
The Chinese Emperor Refuses to See
New Conditions


la its budget of China news the
Japan Mail contains the following
items:
The Newchwaug correspondent Of
the China Gazette, writing under
date December 18th, says that the
Japanese had then taken Haicheng
and Newchwang Che old town. and
that they were expected to move
either to Mukden or Sbanhaikwan.
He adds the interesting Intelligence
that General Sung aud his troops
had gone to Shanhaikwau, but we
know that on the very day when
this letter was despatched Sung
with 10000 men was fighting at
Kangwasai within II miles OF Hal
cheng.
Truly, China has an ostrich like
faculty of self deception so large as
to compel admiration. Chinchow
in the Liaotung peninsula has been
in Japanese possession since the be-
ginning OF November, yet the Chi
nese Government goes through the
farce OF appointing officer after Off
Ger to be commandant OF the place.
Six weeks ago q certain Msnchu was
named Brigadier General of the
town, but as its re-capture from the
Japanese would have been an essen
tial preliminary to entering upon
Office, and as the Manchu had no
forces available for that enterprise.
he set himself to discover ailments
in his own body incapacitatin him
for tho honor, and the Emperor at
last became SO exasperated at this
sequence OF maladies that he de-
graded the invalid anu handed him
over to the Board Of Punishments
for treatment. Another luckless
wight, named To Sheng-a-the ter
minal OF whose name seems appro.
pirate to his fate-has now been APP
pointed to the same post and will
probably find his way also to the
Board OF Punishments.
The following note from Shsusi
correspondence is eloquently sug-
gestive:
The sudden and imperative sum
mons to arms that was recently is

shown how utterly undisciplined are
the ordinary troops. There is little

MALARIA AND WATER.
Prosecutions Necessary for the Prsscr-atien
of Health.

Preeauti0ns Necessary for the PreecTvatton
of Health.
The most recent scientific authors
ties are of the opinion that malaria is q
water-born disease. In vast malarial
districts it is not the air which the in
habitants breathe, but the water they
drink which brings on the much dread
ed malarial fever. That is the case in
some sections of the land has been
clearly proved by the immunity from
such families as depended on filtered
rain water and not on the wells of the
country. 1t has also been noted that
horses and other animals brought into
certain sections OF the country thrived
well so long as they were housed and
drank from the cistern supply of the
barns, but sickened and died when left
to wauder in the fields and drink from
brooks and pools. If this sh onld be
clearly proven it might be possible to
stamp out one of the greatest evils of
life in some sections of the country. 1t
is not difficult matter to collect the
rain water in a clean cistern. 1t
should be passed through filtering
medium that is frequently renewed, as
it is now known that filter too long
in use becomes one of the most effect
i've means of communicating the water
it is intended to purify. The filter
that is clogged up with impurities il
far worse than none at all, and this Is
the condition of a great many cistern
filters. As an extra precaution, even
the cistern water ought to be boiled,
poured in a clean earthen jar and
cooled in pure atmosphere. The ice
formed from contaminated water is al
most as Objectionable as the unfrozen
water itself, as large number of bac-
teria are undisturbed by frost. Such q
lar of boiled water should be daily re-
as if it is left standing any
length of time it will soon take on the
same Objectionable features as the
water of the country.-N. Y. Tribune.

Cleaning kitchen woodwork.

A houselseeper with half century's
experience says that cleaning kitchen
tables and sinks with soap is a great
mistake. It disintegrates the fiber OF
the wood and turns it yellow. She says
that very hot water and borax, or very
hot water alone with plenty of strength
will give the very best results This is
all very true, provided one uses cheap
soaps made Of chemicals and all sorts
Of denominations, but homemade soap,
which should abound in every we'll
regulated kitchen, will not produce
this effect; and the work is much more
easily and quickly done than with
simple hot water and scrubbing. One
of the points Of grace in women's work
is to have learned to do things easily
as we'll as to do them thoroughly. A
woman might. with much more profit,
occasionally buy a new table than to
wear her strength and life out clean

NO COUNTRY FoR cHlLLs.
The Shaking Residents Wanted Every

sd tnin8 nut Quinihes
The coiouel suggested that l take
along a package of quinine in my ride
through the swamp country, as the
towns were far apart and the drug be-
yond tho reach of many settlers. At
nine O'Clock in the morning reached
a cabin, to find the owner and his wife
and three children sitting out in the
sun. All had blue lips and haggard
faces and all were shivering with a
chill. ] told the man | would leave
him some quinine, and was about to
undo the package when he stopped me
with gesture and said:

shucks, but thar is them beyand us
that ar. Leave me plug Of ter

ser cases" 5...z=l .a=7.= .st
On the doorstep of the next cabin
sat lone man. He was trying to
scrape the bark off sassafras root,
but he shook and shivered SO hard that
he could make no progress. told him
had some quinine as a free gift, but
he held up his shaking hands and re-
piled:
stranger, this hain't no chillin' to
be cured by kee-nine, but is jist
nervousness for the want of sip of
whisky. You'll find chillin' further
down the road"
/ gave him sip from my flask, and
at the next cabin found a woman and
two children on the bed and two more
children on the floor. The woman sat
up in bed and shivered and shook and
clicked her teeth together, and as
explained the object of my call she re-
piled: s.l
Powerful kind O yo', stranger, but
thar is them as needs it further on. :"
but haven't you chills and fever?"
"Wall, sorter, but nuthin' to brag of.
/ reckon the most that ails me is the
want of snuff. If you'll be SO kind as
to leave me pinch or two I'd be
mighty peart in an hour or So"

Broodine.

Brooding over trials and difficulties
and disappointments is one Of the most
prominent and sure characteristics OF
fretfulness. The mind seems to fasten
itself on life's troubles. It thinks of
little else from morning Till night, and
then in the night time sleep departs,
and the time that should be spent in
sleep is spent in fret and worry until
it testers and becomes more and more
absorbing. So much so that the mind
becomes wholly occupied with the
thought of trouble. In many cases
this state of things continues till its
