Topeka, Kas. April S--tspecialD The
prosecution closed to-day the Investigation
Of Captain Wait, Of the state board OF
charities by placing Mrs. Mary e. Lease
on the stand. She testified to long array
Of misconduct on the part Of Captain Wait
and other members Of the board. She said
the manner in which Wait. Householder
and others had manipulated affairs at the
asylum was simply scandalous. She had
usually been in the minority on the board.
and In view of the record made by the ma
jorty, she said she was glad of II. She
said the asylum affairs were conducted IN
a dissraceful manner. Two or three rival
factions among the employees had quar-
relied among themselves until the tnstitu-
ti1n had well nigh gone to ruin; Her tes--
timouy was directed as much against
Householder as Captain Wait, aud she
spared neither Of them
The committee did not need any wit
nesses TO establish the fact that the rec

When they came to examine the books the
committee were unable to make heads or
tails OF anything. one thing certain seems
fastened on Captain Wait, and that is the
fact that he drew money from the state i'll
the form of mileage to meetings which he
never attended. The defense viii COM

A VEGETABLE PYTHON.
The Wild Fig Vim Which Wreathes
Around and Kills Big Trees.

Woe betido the forest giant when he
falls into the clutches of the clusia or fig.
Its seeds, provided with "a pulp which is
very pleasant to the taste of a great mum
Der OF birds, are carried from tree to tree
md deposited on the branches. Here they
g%erIninatc, the leafy stem rising upward
and the roots flowing, as it We're. down
The trunk until they reach the soil. At
first these aerial roots are soft and delicate,
with apparently no more power for evil
than so many streams of pitch, which
thcy resemble in their slowly flowing mo-
ton downward. Here and there they
branch, especially if an obstruction is met
with, when the stream either changes its
course or divides to right and left.
Meanwhile lcafy branches have been de-
yeloped, which push themselves through
the canopy above and get into the light,
where their growth is enormously ~accelcr-
itcd. As this takes place the roots have
generally reached the ground and begun
30 draw sustenance from below to strength
N the whole plant. Then comes q won
lerful development. The hitherto soft
aerial roots begin to harden and spread
wider and wider, throwing out side
branches which flow into and ~amalgamate
with each other until the whole tree trunk
is bound in a series Of irregular living
hoops.
Tho stranger is now ready for its dead,
ly work. The forest giant, like all exc
gems, must have room to increase in girth,
and here be is bound by cords which are
stronger han iron bands. Like an ath-
letc, he tries to expand and burst his fet-
tiers, and ii they were rigid he might sue
coed. Tho bark bulges between intcrlac-
ing-bulgcs out and even tries to overlap
but the monster has taken every precau-
ton against this by making its bands very
numerous M wide.
As the tree becomes weaker its leaves
begin to fall, and this gives more room for
its foe. Soon the stranger expands itself
into a great bush almost as large as the
mass of branches and foliage it has effaced.
If we look carefully around us, we SEQ
examples of entire obliteratlon-a clusia,
or fig, standing on its reticulated hollow
pillar, with only a heap of brown humus
at its base to show what has become of the
trunk which stood up in all its majesty on
that spot.-Guiana Forest.

A Convenient Basket.

Some M has lately planned for the use
Of her own housemaid a basket divided
into compartments that seems to be a most
excellent device for keeping together every
thing needed for cleaning and polishing
and busting. There is q space for the soft
cheesecloth duster, and opposite one for
soiled busters, a pocket for the whisk
brooms for the stairs and other places, one
for heavier dustcloths, a place for every
thing required in window cleaning, the
bottle of ammonia, the cloths, sponge and
channels, the wooden skewers of different
sizes for corners, the soaps, pastes for
brasses and all the brushes used III house
cleaning, for putting lamps in order, ETC.,
canton flannel cloths for washing floors
and paint and all the other tools needed.
The whole stock of such things is not kept
in the basket, but the receptacles are kept
supplied.
The things used are to be kept as clean,
by washing and drying as soon as used, as
are the dish towels in daily use. BY the
use Of this or a similar continuance no time
Is consumed in hunting for articles needed
in a mornings work. In a large house
such a convenience for the first and one for
the second floor would be a good idea. The
basket must be strong, yet light.

Tar Products.

In his new process of obtaining products
from tar, Stringfellow of London claims
to insure the best results in a strikingly
simplified manner. The tar, say one ton,
to be treated Is put into n suitable vessel,
and about per cent of an alkali or other
saponifying agent is then added, and the
compound well mixed with a ton Of water.
Before the water has time to separate from
the tar about one-fifth Of a ton of petro-
leum oil of 0.S20 specific gravity is added
and slowly stirred into the tarry mixture
until the free oil becomes of a reddish col
or. 1t will then be found that tho COM
pound has been separated into three parts
namely, a red, oily extract of light gray
ity, not mixable in water; a substance Of
soft unctuous pitch, containing some water
and resembling Stockholm pitch In appear
ance and general characteristics and a dis
colored watery liquor. While the separat-
ing action is progressing the light, oily ex-
tract and the water can be drawn of, so
as to promote the emulation from the pitch
which remains in the vessel.

provement

1t is perhaps needless to say that the
journal has never refused anyone the use
Of its columns for the proper discussion of
the new city building matter. Any state
ment to that effect Is absolutely false.
While We have never felt 1t incumbent
upon us to supply our political opponents
with "a forum, we haye never refused any
responsible citizen Of either party the use
of our olumns to discuss-in a courteous
and non political way-any subject OF gen
eral local interest. We have always exercis-
cd the right, howeye r, to limit such discus
sions TO q reasonable space, n to insist
that they be couched in courteous language
and free from reflections OF a personal
character. We have usually insisted too,
that they be signed by their authors. 30
far az the city building is concerned we
have, we think, printed fully, and at some
length, all the news pertaining to it, and
have also expressed our own views upon
the subject editorially. AS yet no citizen
has asked us for space to discuss the sub
ject. and hence the statement that we have
refused the use Of our columns for h a
purpose Is utterly devoid OF truth.

Yellow Irresistibles.

The recently published memoirs of ths
Princess Lamballe gave an interesting
sketch of Marie Antoinette's attempt to
learn English. Whenever an Englishman
OF rank visited the court, the queen tried
her linguistic accomplishments on him,
n the effect was frequently amusing.
To the Duke of Dorset and some English
gentlemen whom she saw attired in new
buekskin breeches put on for the kings
hunt the queen said, 81 do not like dem
yellow irresistibles. She meant "inex-
pressibles, and when Lady Spencer, her
tutor, pointed out the mistake the queen
said: "Vell, veil, discompose yourself, my
dear lady. 1 will no more call the breeches
irrcsistibles, but say small clothes, even if
they are on a giant."-New York World.
