Gloves.

The custom of wearing gloves is
very ancient, but their use was not
common among all classes until the
middle ages, when gloves became a
necessary part of the costume of both
men and women. At that period
gloves were often embroidered with
gold and silver, and richly orna-
mented with jewels. They were then
used as symbols of many things. A
knight would wear a glove, spangled
with pearls, fastened on his helmet, at
tournament, as a sign of favor from
some fair lady; to throw down the
glove at the feet of rival was con-
sidered challenge to fight duel !;
and other Specifications we're familiar
to the people of those days. The
manufacture of gloves is one of the
most important industries of Europe
at the present time. 1t is estimated
that no less than 1000, 900 dozen
pairs of gloves are made annually,
and in the town of Grenoble, in
France, this work alone gives employ
ment to 10000 people. The above
estimate does not include the vast
quantities Of ordinary woven gloves of
cotton, silk and other fabrics, but only
those made of fine skins. Detroit

Tho standard OIL Company.

No account of the oil industry IL
complete without mention at least
Of tho Standard Oil Company, that
vast corporation which has reached
out until not only tho oil fields Of tho
land but the renneries and many Of
the railroads are now within its
grasp.
1t probably owes its growth and
power to its hold on means Of trans
portation. A prominent statesman
said recently that he believed some
Of the railway officials who made con-
tracts with the company profted
personally by them and we're forever
after in its power. The Standard Oil
Company was the successor to the firm
Of Rockefeller, Andrews & Flagler
engaged in the oil trade in Cleveland
in 1870. It was incorporated that
year with a capital of 81, 900, 900, and
within two years it had bought up all
the other refneries of Cleveland. Then
it obtained possession OF the Southern
Improvement Company, a concern
holding a broad charter from the
state Of Pennsylvania, and in the
name of this corporation it made Sc
cret contracts with the principal rail-
roads for freight rebates. When this
was discovered a great cutlery was
raised and the charter of the Southern
Improvement Company was revoked.
In the meantime, however. the Stan
durd Oil Company had made its own
contracts with the railroad companies,
aud it is said to have received a 80
cent rebate on every barrel of oil
shipped. No rivals could stand such
competition, and as fast as they went
under the Standard quietly absorbed
them. It's property now is valued at
some fabulous sum beyond the $780,
600, 600 mark. Chicago Record.

The Poisonous Primrose.

DIR. Riehl Of Vienna has discovered
that well-known species of primrose
(primula obconica) gives rise to SWELL
ings and inflammation of the skin
when handled. 1t appears that gar
dener was brought into DR.. Riehl's
ward, suffering from blisters and
swallings ON his hands due to the
primrose.
Experiments we're made, and it was
found that the tiny hairs on the leaves
and stalks irritated the skin. DR..
Riehl succeeded in extracting the poi
son which the plant contains, appar-
emily for its own perfection or protec-
ton, and. by the use of injections
with it, claims to have healed more
than one obstinate skin disease. =

The First Glass Passenger,
William Watson.

The midnight train was due to start
IN five minutes The night was bitter
ly cold, hard frost having set in
shortly after dusk. The guard of the
train appeared to feel the cold keenly;
yet, instead of pacing the platform or
busting about to keep his blood cir
culating he stood shivering in front
Of first class carriage, looking miser-
able and detected in the extreme.
His restless eyes had fixed them
selves on the entrance to the platform,
aud a moment later, without any
cherry "This way, sir" he silently,
and in a manner which even at that
time struck Mr.. Yorke as peculiar,
held up his arm as a signal. 1t was a
signal which had been expected, for it
was answered by a similar gesture
from tall, slender man, who came
hurrying down the platform, pushing
an front of him bath chair.
The guards agitation had visibly
increased upon the arrival of this pas
senger, but the latter was cool, rapid
in his movements, and as dextrous in
his actions as if he had rehearsed them
when he came to assist the guard in
lifting the occupant OF the chair into
the carriage. Mr.. Yorke saw that the
invalid was lady, well wrapped up
an cloaks and shawls and heavily
yelled.
The ride was without incident until
five minutes after passing through
GoOdrldge tunnel, the shout of man
instantly followed by another, which
might have been the echo of the
former, but that it was distinctly
different voice, interrupted the monot-
Onous rattle of the train, and the
driver shut off steam in response to a
summons by the communication cord.
at that instant the up express
rushed quivering by.
The cries had both come from the
off side, and putting his head out Of
che window, Mr.. Yorke, as his eye
grew accustomed TO the darkness,
found that the guard had already
gained the footboard OF the carriage
from whence the alarm had presumably
emanated. There we're shouts from
the guard to the driver, much giving
of arms, aud then the train backed
slowly for few hundred yards. There
che guard and the passengers dis
mounted. Mr.. Yorke followed suit
he saw at once that there had been
.ahastly occurrence. The trunk OF
woman was lying across the up line
and the head had been completed,
severed from it by the engine wheel
OF the up train.
Mr.. Yorke's momentary view Of tn
lady Of the bath chair was sufficient t,
enable him TO identify her as the vic
tim of this midnight horror. TIL
wraps we're easily recognizable. Look
ing closer, he imagined there wa
very little blood about for mutilatiol
80 terrible, and STOPPING to touch tn
hand, in spite of the protest of til
tall passenger, he found somethin
which aroused his journalistic in
stincts to their fullest actlyity--some
thing which sent him running up an
down the train for doctor som,
thing which exasperated him strangel
when all bis exsrtions failed to fin
Que. Obviously there was no medici
man living near.

Irrigated Fruit.

The advantages of irrigation in or
chards are we'll described by John
Tannahill, of Columbia, Neb., as fol
lows:
.sOne hundred and nintty apple
trees in my orchard yielded the fall of
1894 but twenty bushels, and last year,
or the fall of 1895, | got from the
same trees, after irrigation, over 300
bushels of apples. The trees are
twenty feet apart. i run water De-
tween the rows and find it does not
take nearly so much water this win
ter as last. because of the SubSoll re-
tanning the moisture from last win
ter As an experiment / left some
apple and cherry trees unwatered,
and they were in bloom just six days
before those that were watered. and
unwatered apricotS blOomed three
days those that were watered, except
one apricot tree that l mulched after
watering. which bloOmed six days
later and this tree was overloaded
with fruit. The Others that were
watered, being hurt some by the
spring frost, were not so 1ull ana the
consequence was the fruit was much
superior. Two of the trees that were
unwatared died and seven had some
fruit set, but it kept dropping off,
and what remained on the trees when
ripe was very poor, almost worthless
Ninety-three of my cherry trees were
irrigated and eighteen were not irri-
gated. When irrigated they blossom
ed two days later than those not irrl-
gated and they were all heavily laden
with fruit. large, juicy and of excel
lent quality, none dropping off or dry
ing up, and out of the eighteen I'M
watered ten died and the remaining
eight bore very inferior fruit, hardly
worth picking, and making about six
inches growth of wood, while those
watered made twelve inches growth.
These cherry trees were watered the
last week in December. 1894, and re-
ceived no water before or after APP
pie trees that were watered held the
fruit last fall during the high winds
much better than those unwatered--

Alfalfa Pasture for Swine.

From various parts of Kansas,
breeders write about the beauties and
advantages of alfalfa From II. ).
Cook, breeder at Wichita, Kansas.
we have the following:
ssThe farmers in the state of Kansas
that can raise alfalfa and do not, GER
tainly miss it, as it is the very best
forage plant we have. 1t is much
earlier and later than any other plant
down here in the Arkansas valley
1t keeps green until a hard freeze
comes to kill it the middle or last OF
December. My cows have been rum
ming on good pasture since the second
of April. By using caution, L nave
had but one bloat in seven years that
/ have been using alfalfa for my hogs,
cows and colts. This was my fault
/ turned my cattle on in the morning,
after light rain. They should not
be turned onto the pasture until at
ter the dew is off nor after rain. But
colts and hogs may run onto 1T all the
time, day and night, without any bad
results. ] understand that in some
parts of our noble state alfalfa does
not do well, but | am thankful 1t does
well here in Sedgwick county. L
