STOCK AND FARM.

A Mound City man claims tohave had
more than 200 replies to recent adver-
tisement offering small Linn county
farm to rent.
Garden City Sentinel: Wheat SOW
ing is over. Oats and barley are now
being sown and the prospects for a
good crop still remain favorable.
Concordia Daylight: The farmers
who harvested alfalfa were the men who
made the money last year. Sow alfalfa
and grow rich. It's a sure crop every
year when once started.
A farmer near Emporia has filed a
damage case against that city for pollut-
ing his stock water and running his
ice chances, by the discharge OF sewer
into the river just above his place.
Kansas City Gazette: Cattle receipts
here yesterday were $3.50; at Chicago
450O; st. Louis, LOO. We therefore
beat both these markets put together.
Thursday we showed that cattle netted
about 40 cents per hundred pounds
more than in Chicago-nearly 800
car Yesterday Chicago sold higher
because of light receipts there, but not
enough higher to cover freight and
shrinkage.

Feminine Ingenuities.

OF the multifarious uses of the hair
pin, some at least, are well known.
They are suggested by Il French tray
eler's description Of n pin which the
Indian women of Peru wear as a fas-
tening for their shawls. Its head is in
the shape of n spoon. In fact, 1t is n
spoon and shawl pin in one.
1t is odd, the Frenchman says, to see
a woman pull out the pin, letting her
shawl drop from her bare shoulders,
and proceed to use it for eating her
soup or porridge, After the repast
she passes the bowl Of the spoon care
fully between her lips two or three
times, gathers up her shawl, and
fastens it in place,
The same women use their slippers
instead Of pocket-books-a point in
which they may be said to have the
advantage Of their North American
sisters, whO having no pockets, or
none within comfortable reach, are
compelled to carry their purses in
their hands.
The money Of Lima consists of bank
notes. which go very well into the
bottom of n slipper AS to the effect
upon the bills, perhaps the least said
the better. There is an old saying that
money always smells sweet.

Cost of the Monuments.
The monuments now on the field have

over $4,000. The monument to the
United Staes Regulars cost 1900 each
delivered at Lyle Station. The Ohio
monuments for the most part cost
1000 each, delivered and erected on
the field. The monuments costing
81 900 each, delivered and erected, are
of excellent design and execution. The
material for monuments is, under the
regulations, confined to granite and
bronze. Any organization may in
crease the cost of its monument by add
ing to the sum allowed by the State.
Eight pyramidal monuments, each 10
feet high, constructed of S-inch shells,

clear that there was no religion. The

Germnn's PorceInin stoves.

Another thing to poster the foreign
err In winter will be the heating ar
rangements. The German himself is
never warm enough. There are times
In his life when he is almost warm
enough. If you tell him about it he
will say that it is because he does not
want to be any warmer, and he prob
ably does not. There are few dwell
ings even in Berlin heated in any other
way than by the old porcelain stoves,
artlstic-looking monuments, often OF
great size. When they are not heated
these stoves are as cold as china
plate. When they are doing their best
they are never so warm rs to prevent
one from standing up and embracing
them. 1t is intended to build one fire
per day in these affairs, then lock then
up and let them radiate. Wood, peal
and other punk fuels are used for this
purpose. That they do not get hot
corresponds to all the known laws Of
scientific physics. How many hundred
years these stoves are to be used yet
