Truth Not In Them.

The Topeka Mail says undoubtedly
Gov. Morrill, is having more trouble
than any governor Kansas has ever
had. This is true, and instead OF
things improving, fresh break is
added about every time the governor
does anything. We think the trouble
lies in the fact that there are more
liars in republican management today
than ever before IN the history OF the
state. Somebody has lied to the pro-
hibitionists, aud they are tired, and
their roaring is quite reasonable.
Clay Msltby, the noted state line
pool-room proprietor, was lied to.
He was promised better protection
than be had under Lewelling, aud he
paid $500 for il. The lottery men
were worked, but they refused to do
anything until they knew the result
on Broderick's bill in congress, where
upon it was promised that Broderick
could be handled. The lottery men
sent an agent to Holton, who reported
that Broberick could not be handled,
and the lottery men did not invest
But they were lied to all the same.
The old soldiers were lied to, and
they promise to never quit their
clamor. For every Office to be filed
ten or fifteen men claim they we're
lied to. We were promised BUSH
ness administration, and yet we have
never heard of anybody getting yea,
yea, or nay, nay, as business is done,
but instead a lot OF vague and indef-
mite sorghum, With every admins
trstlon there have been disappoint-
ments about once, but as the Mail
says, never before did governor
have such trouble. We do not be-
lieye Morrill, is to blame for all Of it.
We believe the party is in control Of
a reckless ring who redeemed the
state last fall ey recklessly lying, and
promises they cannot fulfill. --Kans,ts

A GOOD SCHEME

The Clifton NeicS, one Of the lead
ing papers Of the Central Branch
country, suggests a new scheme in re-
gard to irrigation. IF every person
owning 100 acres OF land" the paper
says, would dam up some draw at
once 80 as to have at least one acre Of
water stored up, we would have right
in this state 324,0 acres OF water in
ponds which would be- to us rs the
lakes are in Minnesota, From thus
body Of water 30 we'll distributed over
the state, there would be constant
evaporation and would prevent dry,
hot winds. Besides this we believe
the atmosphere would be moist enough
to cause far more rainfall than we
have had for years,
Reuben Taylor, who lives near
Palmer, has large pond on his farm,
and he says during tho very dry
weather last year, for some little dis
lance around the pond, he noticed
dew in the morning, but further back
there was none, II this be true, and
we have no reason to believe other
wise, 1t can be seen that a pond on
every farm will furnish dew all over
the country, Sumo people will in
quire, when can we catch wPter to
fill the ponds? 1t can be done, and
in q few weeka now For twenty-five
years we have had floods in Kansas
during May or June, Enough water
runs of the soil to creeks and rivers
each year to water the ground by irri.
CATION If il had been held in reser-
volrs, Now is the time to take action,
and il every Kansas would make
pond at once, we believe the worst
will be over in Kansas"

THE QUEENS DONKEY.

Queen Victoria, during her recent
sojourn at Cimiez, on the French Med
iterranean coast, was often seen to
drive, on pleasant afternoons, very
sleek and comfortable looking don
key. The aged queen, holding the
her drive, and the complacency of
the donkey suggested that he almost
understood the honor which was be-
ing done him. This donkey, whose
name is Jocko, has an interesting his
tory.
During a previous sojourn in the
same district the queen was one
morning enjoying herself incognita, in
the open air at Acquisgrana, when
she saw a peasant leading along by
the bit donkey which looked as if he
had once been a fine animal of his
kind, but now seemed to be almost
starved He was lean, languishing,
evidently suffering.
The queen asked the man if the
donkey was for sale.

man. eff I were to sell him, now,
how should I get my living?"
''How much did you pay for him?''
GA hundrdd francs"
II will give you two hundred, and
you can buy another donkey"
The man sold the donkey to the un-
known "signora," and poor Jocko at
once began a new life. Abundantly
fed and carefully groomed, he bios
somed out as royal favorite. The
story spread, and the queen could
take no more promenades with con-
venience; for she was certain to en-
counter every day several peasants
who tried to sell her decrepit and
half sta rived donkeys. She bought
none Of them.
During her late visit the queen drove
through Acquisgrana with Jocko; and
his former owner, the peasant, saw
the equipage go by. The donkey was
fat, glossy and glittering with buckles
of silver and gold.
"Alas!" exclaimed the peasant.
"When I sold my donkey, why didn't
I throw myself n?"-Erchdnge.

nificent column, the largest work stone
in the world, almost detached and
ready for transportation. In the ruin
ed Temple of the Sun near by is a
niche still waiting for it after forgot

How much worse is this human

That is waiting. 1t may yet subserve

A TURKISH BATH At HOME.

The great object of a Turkish Bath'
and its only real benefit, is to produce
an intense perspiration, thus letting
off much waste matter, and relieving
the whole system; and then to close
the pores with moderately cool water,
so that no evil results will follow from
the cold air.
A Turkish Bath, if taken in time,
will almost Immediately cure a cold
or case of grippe. To take it one
need not expose himself to the ele-
ments and post off to some distant es-
Enlistment where a large fee is de-
handed. The following method is
recommended Blythe New Hygiene:"
Provide a wooden bottomed chair,
and having stripped the patient of all
clothing, except pair of wooden
drawers to protect his legs from the
heat, let him sit on it, with his feet
ankle deep in hot foot bath, just as
hot as he can bear. Wrap him about
first with blanket, tucking it close
around the neck, and letting it hang
loose over the chair and vessel con-
tanning the foot bath, but so arrang-
ed as to exclude the air from his per-
son. Over the blanket wrap one Or
two heavy comfortables, the object
being to prevent the escape of the
heat and exclude the outside air from
the body. Raising one side of the
comfortables and blanket, place under
the chair an old tea-cup half full of
alcohol Set it on fire and again close
the opening. Give him drink Of cold
water, and if the head feels oppressed,
apply a wet towel wrung from cold
water. Add more hot water to the
foot-bath once or twice, keeping it as
hot as he can bear it during the con-
tinuance of the bath. Keep him in the
bath until the alcohol is all burned
out. Then wash him down with soap
and tepid water. Sponge off with cool
water, rubbing the flesh and working
the muscles vigorously the mean
while. Then dry off by patting the
skin with the towel (not rubbing,
leaving a little moisture on it; dress
quickly and let him lie down for an
hour or put him to bed.

Neatness is good thing for girl,
and if she does not learn it when she
is young, she never will. 1t takes a
great deal more neatness to make a
girl look we'll than it does to make
boy look passable. Not because a
boy, to start with, is better looking
than girl, but his clothes are of
different sort, not so many colors in
them: and people don't expect boy
to look so pretty as a girl. A girl
that is not neatly dressed is call
ed sloven, and no one likes to
look at her. Her face may be pretty
and her eyes bright, but if there is
spot of dirt on her cheek, and her fin
gers ends are black with ink, and her
shoes are nor laced or buttoned up,
and her apron is dirty, and her collar
is not buttoned, and her skirts torn,
she can not be liked. Learn to be
neat, and when you have learned it,
it will almost take care of itself.
