The Mississippi River.

According to calculations of John
Birkenbine, of Philadelphia, the drain
age area Of the Mississippi river is one
and one+fourth millions of square miles,
including nearly all of the country
from the Alleghenies to the Rockies
and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
In his communication to the Engineers
club, Mr.. Birkenbine estimates that
one inch of rain falling evenly over this
area would equal 81, $50, DOC, OOo,o 900 gal
Ions of water. The average yearly fall
in the Mississippi watershed averages
from 20 TO 43 inches according to local
ity. The river has an average flow of
664,ooo cubic feet per second.

A young kleptomaniac at Ogdens-
burg, N. Y, stole a bicycle and con-
cealed it in a lumber yard. He then
started out and stole a lantern and
tool bag. These he attached to the
machine, and proceeded to still further
complete his outfit by taking shirt
and pair of socks from neighboring
clothesline. 1t is not known just what
the object of his next trip was, but it
is thought he was looking for league
ticket. However, he was gathered in
by an unappreciative policeman.

Medical A.pect. OF CYCLING.

DR.. Lucas Champiouniere, of Paris,
Is said to have devoted good deal of
attention to the medical aspects of
cycling. In his opinion 600 kilometers
1868 miles) is not too much for a
healthy, well-trained rider. He be-
lieves that no heterogeneous food should
be eaten; in fact, very little solid food
during exercise, but it is important to
drink to replace the liquid lost by per-
spiration. Tea, beef tea and milk are
useful. He believes in racing on fruit
and liquid. In this respect he differs
from some other authorities. That

therefor at the rate of two dollars per

against the land and collected with the
taxes. There are thousands of acres of
land in the northern part of the state
remote from farms or highways and
which are prolific in the weeds desig-
mated as noxious, and will present
harvest to the weed commissioner and
his assistants. Some of the timber
men of this state are already finding
this burden upon them, the bills of the
weed commissioners on 40-acre tract
sometimes being more than the 40 is

will be made against the tax levy as

cure an amendment to the weed law

WANTS A BOUNTY FOR TRIPLETS
Kansas Negro Thinks His Achieves
ment Worth 300.

'r ment worm S<OO.
Gov. Leedy, of Kansas, was nearly
paralyzed by a package he received the
other day. 1t was a photograph of
Alonzo Miller, colored ward politician
of Wichita, his wife and their triplets
that arrived the night of the wonderful
meteoric display in that town about
two weeks ago. The mothers luminous
eyes are wide open, the three fat-faced
pickaninnies are sound asleep beside
her and the father is standing over them
with lordly look that indicated both
his Joy and his self-estimated impor-
lance to the community.
The governor was so absorbed in the
picture of the three little Millers that
he forgot all about the letter that ac-
companied it Miller, il appears, got
it into his head some way that there
was law in Kansas giving a bounty of
$500 to every father of triplets, and he
wanted the governor 10 iqnidate, add
ing that he was very poor and needed
the money. The governor was also in
formed in the letter that the triplets
were two boys and one girl, and were
named William Mckinley Miller, ALI
son Mckinley Miller, after the presi-
dents mother, and Ida Saxton McKin-
ley Miller, in honor of the presidents
wife.
The governors smile vanished when
he observed this indication of the rapid
increase of the opposition and instead
of sending donation to the parents, as
he intended to do, he marked it with his
pencil: Referred to the committee on
federal relations or the census commits
sioner."
5, While the picture was under discus
sion several republicans came in and
bantered the governor about the in
creasing advances of republicanism.
The governor, who has read great deal
of both ancient and modern history,
gave the audience an interesting talk
on the encouragement given by the
ancient Romans to the parents of trip
lets. One of them was that the father
was given a free family ticket and a
front seat in all the places of public en-
tertainment during his life.

sugar Good for Athletes.

Alpine climbers, who seldom eat
candy at home, are said to appreciate it
highly when on their excursions.
Guides are fond of it, as a great
source of muscular force. Experiments
have recently been made in Germany
to demonstrate the value of sugar to
those who perform hard labor. The
Prussian ministry Of war is satisfied
that muscular work done when natural
sugar (cane or beet SUGAR. was used was
superior to that when saccl lin formed
part of the diet. The blood is poor in
sugar after muscular exertion, but a
small quantity eaten gives back the lost
energy.

Admiral j. n. Miller, U. S. N, and Gen.
Miles, but the invitation was not ex-
tended to their wives. Gen. Miles ar
rived first with his wife and occupied
both rooms. leaving Admiral Miller the
room the court officials had intended
for the servants accompanying the two
officers. Admiral Miller thereupon de.
clined to remain at the hotel, and re.
paired to lodgings in Half Moon street
where his family was installed. The
court officials were greatly distressed
and wished to take suite of rooms
at the Victoria hotel for Admiral Miller
but the latter declined.
