4 DROUGHT.

The only serious drought OF the sum-
mer is upon US now. While the pastures
are very much burned and the springs
and water-courses very low, the drought
very fortunately came too lato to injure
seriously the growing crops. The yield
of corn in the county this season Will be
phenomenal. But even IN the dry years
corn Is never very scaroe here During

could not be bought and very frequently,
as low as 50 cents per busnei IN inc iate

fertility and never fail IN their yield.

a number OF bold creeks and smaller

THE LEGION OF HONOR.
Men Were Managed with Toys, Declared
Bonaparte in Founding 1t.


Bonaparte in Founding 1t.
But it is not difficult to understand
the popularity of a measure, passed at
about the same time, for establishing
the now well-known Legion of Honor.
1t is certainly true that the desire for
social inequality-thatis is, for personal
distinction - is the strongest single
force in calling out human energy. The
passion for pins, badges, ribbons and
personal decorations of every sort is
well-nigh universal. 1t gratifies the
sense of achievement among men who
are able, and hatters the vanity o:
those who are not. To this passion, in
itself not necessarily ignoble, the FIRST
consul determined to appeal for fur
ther support. Every new institution of
Importance so far created by him
might, with no great ingenuity, be
turaed into prop of autocratic gov
erpment. Priests and emigrants were
now alike natural allies of Bonarartc,
the constitution had been virtually
superseded, the troublesome senators,
trlounes and Legislators either dis
missed or else warned and called to
order, while the surrounding nations
one of them kingdom-were, in rela-
ton to France, like the sheaves bowling
to Joseph's sheaf.
The foundation of the Legion of
Honor was a measure easily manage
able in the interest of any government
which might control it. Roederer de-
clared in its support that the great
revive the sentiment of honor. An
article of the constitution guaranteed,
in the name of the French people, a
recompense to it's armies. This simple
phrase was the sanction chosen for the
erection of corporation which, like
the orders of absolutism, might inter-
mediate between the people and their
magistrate in order to lend the same
mystery which ever surrounds any
monarch who is the fountain of
honor" The republicans saw the trap
and resisted sturdily, even in the coun-
ell Of state, but to no purpose.
The law was passed on May 10, 1902;
the ranks were constituted, and the
decorative badges determined. Every
member swore to resist any attempt to
restore feudalism in all it's attributes,
and consciences were thus quieted.
Right and left the men of science, of
art, and of literature appeared with
their ribbons and rosettes; the nation
applauded, and Bonapartes opinion
was justified. "You call these toys!
Well, you manage men with toys" he
declared while the project was under
discussion. He proved to be right. In
all monarchical Europe no decoration
is more eagerly sought, to this day,
than is that of the Legion of Honor in
republican France. Sloane, in
Century.

viii an indian Work,

Ever since the white man and the
Indian came together in what is now
the United States, the effort has been
made by the white man, in the inter-
walls of his hostilities with the Indians,
to induce the latter to work. Farmer"
to the Indians is as old an Office as In
dian agent and missionary. Not an
Indian tribe has passed away without
first being supplied with work cattle,
plows, harrows, wagons and SO on,
wherewith to prosecute the calling of
farmer. The Indian tradition, COM
mon to many tribes, that the Great
Spirit gave in the beginning to the
white, black and red man whom he
created, respectively, a book. hoe
and a bow and arrows, is still be-
lieved The Indian will be a warrior,
q hunter and loafer, but he will not
be a laborer in the white" sense of
the word He will drink the white
mans drink; he will learn to gamble
with the white mans cards, but he
will not work with the white mans
tools. s.-Kansas City Star.

BATTLE OF GERMS.
How the Infusorian Attacks and
Devours It's Prey.
Its Singular Method of Multiplying Itself
The Wonders of a Drop of Water
as Revealed by a Powerful
Microscope.

To the ordinary mortal, drop of
water is what the primrose was to
Peter Bell, a drop of water and moth
ing more; but to the student of nature,
armed with high-power microscope,
1T Immediately becomes a world teem-
ing with living creatures, the most
minute representatives of animal life.
These thoughts were suggested by
reading Prof. Grace's description of a
battle he once witnessed while exam
ining collection of rotifers, which
were amassed in single drop of fresh
water. Among others, Mr. trace no.
ticed fine specimen of infusorian,
which was swimming back and forth
among the rotifers, as if intent on mis-
chief. On the following day it was
noticed that the rotifer colony had
lost several of its members, and that
the infusorian's form had rounded out
until he resemblcd a miniature st.
Louis bartender. Mr.. Grace now re-
solved to watch the infusorian's move
ments and ascertain, if possible,
the modus operandi whereby the
capture of such expert swimmers as
the rotifers are known to be was ef-
fected. A few minutes wait sufficed.
Soon it was noticed that the infusorian
was slowly and continuously working
his way around the foot of rotifer,
which was resting on the glass slide.
Around and around he went as slyly
as mouse in an oats bin, and when
he had finished it was noticed that the
rotifer's foot was firmly ceinented to
the glass The infusorian. seeming to
know that his victim was secure, be-
gan to goad the tethered creature and
torment it in all the ways that devilish
ingenuity could suggest lie would
jump upon its back and bite it in sew
eral places with lightning-like rapid
t. and then spring off and seize lSg
and pull It almast irem its socket Mr..
Grace says that he watched this n1..e-
quail combat for nearly half an hour,
when it was noticed that the rotifer
was dying from exhaustion. Noting
the death of his victim the !nfusorian
proceeded to devour his prey as
he doubtless had done the others
that were missing. Mr.. Grace next
examined small body of water, con-
sisting Of four drops. in which there
were several infusorians and roti 'ers.
The former proved the enemies of the
latter, just as in the single drop pre-
viously examined 1t was also noticed
that the infusoria, having devoured a
victim, would almost Immediately di-
vide into two or four new animals, each
of which would quickly swim away
in search of prey, just as its parent
had done before. Louis Republic.

The South African Plain.

The plains here stretch in illimitablo
expanse to the horizon. Far to the
west is range of mountains, forty
good miles away, which in the clear
morning air stands out as if but a.
dozen miles distant. You may see the
dark lines and patches of the time

sides. This transparency Of atmos-
phere i S very common in southern
Africa.
The rains have lately fallen, and
everywhere around the dry plains have
started at the breath of moisture into
a splendid II shirt-lived beauty. Miles
upon miles of flats, all glowing and
ablaze with purple and q rich flame
like red, are spread around. The won
derful compositae are in flower, and
the barren, desert-like fats are for a
few brief weeks transformed into g.
carpet of the noblest coloring and pat

stand amid the gallant blaze, gannt re-

LEADER OF THE HUNT.
How the Omaha Indians Chose TheiI
Chief Huntsman.

How the Omaha Indians Chose Their
Chief Huntsman.
The Office of leader of the hunt was
held in great honor because ofits grave
responsibilities, which demanded man
of high character and recognized abil-
ity. He must be of undoubted valor,
a good hunter, man reverent and
just. The entire tribe was placed un-
der his control, the principal chiefs
acting as counselors, but complying
with his instructions He directed the
march of the people, and selected their
camping places; he chose aud dis
patched the runners in search of the
buffalo, and organized and directed
the hunt when the game had been
found. If the tribe encountered en-
emies, he was the leader of the war;
rlors, taking his place at the post Of
greatest danger, and he was held re-
sponsible for everything that occurred,
from the successful pursuit of the buff
falo, and the health and welfare of the
people, down to the quarreling of chill
dren and dogs.
He who desired to fill the Office of
leader was required to procure buff
falo-hide from which the hair had been
removed, crow, q golden and bald
headed eagle, shell disk, quantity
of sinsw for thread, a red-stone pipe
with its fat stem ornamented with
porcupine. quill embroidery, and a ket-
tie. These he presented to the Hun
ga-gens, through the keepers of the
two sacred tents, after he had been APP
pointed to the Office by the chiefs. If
there was no candidate for the posi-
tiQn, the chiefs appointed man from
sub-gens of the In-kae-tha-bae gems.

THE SEM ISLANDERS.
A Race That Lives Upon a Very Primiti,
Fare.


A Race That Lives Upon Very Primitive
Fare.
The Sein Islanders rarely eat any an
imal food except fish. AS it is brought
in, the women salt it and lay it out to
dry on the quay wall or on a conven-
lent rock, so that before the winter
they have made a large provision.
Dried conger is especially esteemed.
Their ordinary cooking is well adapted
to keep in check too eager appetite
Potatoes and their skins, with layer
of dried fish dropped upon them during
the boiling, is an ll-the-year-round
dish, which is considered one of the most
satisfying and economical. The COM
mon drink is water or cider. Fresh
water is precious, for much of that
which is used is brought over from the
mainland
The women have a mode of baking
bread which is probably one of the
most ancient still practiced by man
kind. A thick layer of live embers
having been spread upon the forepart
of the hearth, a circular iron plate
foot or more in diameter is pressed
down upon it. Upon this the dough,
made into the desired shape of the
loaf, is laid. Over it is placed convex
iron cover; then fire of dry seawecd
is made upon this The seaweed burns
slowly, and supplies just the heat
that is needed. In every house
there is all that is requisite for baking
in this manner, for although in sum-
mer there is q regular supply of bread
from the mainland, the furious cur
rents of the Raj ana the westerly gales
may keep all communications inter-
rupted for weeks together in the bad
season. 1t is true that there is tele-
graphic cable, but the means OF feed

Mcmahon said that he has known
Johnson for five years and known him
to have a park of elk OF his own. He
has an enclosure of about 40 acres, six
or seven feet high. where the elk are
kept. He had killed eight of his own
elk few weeks ago and shipped sew
en- OF them to Butte. He was accus-
toned to capture baby elks and raise
them. They are easily raised, about
80 per cent. OF them living.
