The lands of above list, with the ex-
ception of those marked have been
opened for settlement, and those so
marked will be offered as soon as ap-
Draisement is completed.
The survey work of the year has.
however, included much additional
work in the way of surveys of cane
land areas for lease, grade lines for
roads, re-running of old homestead
lines and other indispensable work of
the office.
The demand for land suitable for
coffee cultivation has been so steady
and active that the tracts laid out have
been selected from first-class agricuI-
tural land suited to that purpose AS
soon as possible tracts of different ma
ture will be offered suited specially to
cultivation of corn, potatoes. fruits,
etc.
The lack of roads to, and through
outlying tracts of Government land is.
of course, a drawback to the settlement
of such lands, in spite of which, howev-
er, applications have been numerous,
and the results shown in statement
following are highly satisfactory.
With the exception of the few cash
sales" all of the land has been taken
on such condition of cultivation and
improvement that results of an import
ant nature may be looked for. 1t may
further be said that the applications
received have been largely during the
last six months as a considerable part
of the year had elapsed before lands
were ready for applications.
Applications for lands opened in 1896,
including a limited number of old
homestead" lots have been made as

TO Avoid Burial of the Living.

William Calver, of Washington,
d. C., is about to take steps to urge
on the Legislatures of the different
states a measure to do away with
any possibility of persons being
buried while in trance. He also
intends to embody resolution for
the erection OF morgues in this
country similar to ones used in
some of the cities of Europe, and
he has added an improvement of
his own by which the bodies may
be preserved in a natural state in
definitely. Mr.. Calver, who is a
native of England, is a well-known
scientist, and was induced to take
this step from his actual knowledge
Of the evils of the present system of
burial. He states that there are num-
berless cases of cataleptic trance &C.
curing every day, and that a great
many people are inferred while in
this state, sometimes awakening for
a few moments to live lifetime of
agony in the coffin, and even endur-
ing the pangs of the damned while
copscious of the preparations for
their burial, but the absence of any
ability to move muscle preventing
their breaking the letters which
hold them in an apparently lifeless
state. Mr.. Calver says that, while
1t is true that embalming fluid does
away with premature burial by kill
ing life in anything into which it is
injected, it is not the right way to
correct the evil by Killing live PEG.
pie. He knows several persons
who have been awakened from a
trance when just about to be in
tered. There is no infaIlible test
of death, except advanced decom-
position, and it is in this which be
would employ. :.
He advocates the erection in every
place near cemetery of morgue
in which all bodies will be placed
prior to burial, This deadhouse is
to have large room, whose walls
will be Of glass, SO that all within
can be seen by an attendant, who
will be stationed in adjoining
apartment. Here all corpses would
be placed with string attached to
the wrist, so that any movement
would ring bell in the guards
room. They will lie here until de-
composition has proven that it is
impossible that any life exists.

How to Treat . Man.
BY A HORSE

The humor and pathos of the
following sketch will be appreciated
by every lover of the horse:
When a man drops from sheer
exhaustion or illness, promptly
seize an end board or cart stake
and pound him on the head and
on the ribs. If this does not re-
cuperate him kick him violently in
the belly. This treatment will re-.
store him if persistently admins
tered. If man finds his load too
heavy and feels that it will seriously
strain him to. proceed, kick off a
fence board and knock him down
and hammer him thoroughly
with the board. This will give him
renewed energy, and he will make
no more fuss. But do not on any
account reduce the load. That will
look too much like common sense
or humanity, and be will be likely
to balk again when overloaded.
If man refuses to drink when
you offer him water, don't give him
any water for two days. That will
"teach him" to be thirsty at any
time you find it convenient to at
tend to him. 1t is good plan to
ply the whip frequently on a man
who is at work. No matter if he
is. doing his best, hit him now and
then on general principles" and
to prevent him taking any comfort.
If his load is not heavy. oblige him
to 60 enough faster to make up for
it. Work him hard enough to bring
down the average life one-half, as
is done with horses. If no whip is
handy, use club. Tie your mans
head back in an unusual position,
with his eyes toward the sun. This
will give him Zine appearance"
and prevent stumbling" Of course,
be will not be able to do as much
work in this fix, but it makes him
wretched, so it is all right.
In winter remove his clothing to
prevent his taking cold" He will
.lso "dry quicker" when you over
work him. You must hang blank
ct on his back (but leave his neck
and limbs exposed }, when he is not
atwork. Men. thus treated are much
healthier than when allowed winter
clothing. If not perfectly conven-
lent to feed man who is working
for you, at noon, let him go without,
and by active use of the whip secure
as much work as the food would
have secured. Of course it wears
out his vitality and distresses him,
but that is no matter.
Put tight shoes on your man and
keep them there until he is very
lame with corns. To change bis
shoes costs money, not much, but
some, and lameness and misery are
OF no account if you can save one
dollars worth of shoes year.
When you hire a man do not be
hampered by any humane notions.
Get all you can out of him. True
nobility consists in getting money,
not in decency or kindness, or what
some noodles term character"
Get money, even if it is all blood
stained. These are correct princi-
pies, am cure, for learned them
when colt from my master, who
treated all his horses on this plan
and don't he know what's what?

range to exhibit his histrionic powers. Miss
Vanzant, as the island divinity played well
and elected m1ch CONNIE ndation. Mr. T.
A. Bordley as Anthony Webber and Miss
Bernice Metten as Martha, his wife, were
very good. Miss Metten's interpretations

The watch night service at the M. E.
Church was well attended, it being the in

official brethren" and the services were
enjoyed, and the New Year well wishes
were cordial and hopeful:

not little unfavorable criticism. Refresh
ments were served at midnight and twas
at an early morning hour when the gay
jewellers retired.
To describe the belle of the ball
has always been a privilege which
the TRANSCRIPT has enjoyed, the task here
tofore being as delightful as it was easy.
but there were so many who can justly
claim the honor at this ball that the para
grapher hesitates to name one from among
all the large assemblage whose face .and
form, manner and costume and general
bearing attracted the attention of all alike.
She was not very tall nor was she petite,
but there was that indescribabIe willowly
grace about her every movement that gave
her peculiar charm. Her dark hair was
arranged after the madonna coiffure and
when she smiled her rosy lips were like
Cupid's bows. Her cheeks were flushed
with pleasure, and whether in the dance
or the promenade she was the center OF
attraction her charming wit and bright
repartee being among one of her special
features. She wore light dress of soft
silken fabric, of newest pattern, which was
cut little low at the bodice, displaying a
white throat and Pump shoulders. Such
an one was the belle Of the ball, and her
name everybody knows is-your fay
ite and ours.
