acts OF liz lntr legislature, it will be
seen fn > tue f"Uo "iug choice bricks
from the proceedings II the legisla-
lures Of several States that Nevada's
law makers were above the average
in good horse sense:
Kansas has not forgotten its pre-
eminencc in freakishness. Bills were
introduced at Topeka f%orbidding the
wearing of corsets and boomers by
women, filming a man wearing a skull
cap in a theater and taxing solvent
banks to reimburse depositors l II
broken institutions.
Nebraska tried to mako football
playing u crime, but when the wear
ing of long hair and whiskers was
proposed us evidence the bill received
an ~irretrisyable setback.
oklahoma .endeavored to get
through Il bill that would enable
citizens to. do. business without
money. Scrip was to be issued on
deposit OF products and tho scrip WA
to pass as legal tender.
Missouri received u bill TO prevent
tram conductors and brakemen FROM
flirting with women passengers. But
this understandable interference with
the rights Of travellers was checked.
4 Minnesota Senator tried to pass
"a bill requiring saloon keepers to
display u red illuminated sign OF
danger" 1t was thought. however,
that the illuminated signs Oh the
faces OF the customers would be
sufficient.
North Carolina had n bill to invali.
date geld contracts, although North
Carolina has geld mines.
Indiana hhs been passing through
a mild delirlum One bill proposed
changing the ratio between tho di-
and circumference OF a circle.
Other Hoosier legislators proposed
action against women who send
bouquets TO iailbirds, requiring men
10 remove their boots before entering
theatres. %forbidding going out to see
r mau between the acts and requir.
ing all menus-by which the legisla-
tors meant bills OF fare-to be printed
English.
Theatre hat bills were rife every
as il the hat wore the head
and front OF all offending.
Even New York State put through
the Senate a bill making punishable
the carrying Of knockout Drops a
preparation OF chloral or morphine,
although the bill made the physician
with his anaesthetic compound an
outlaw.
One iawmakef in Arkansas stands
out in bold contrast by his proposal
TO make the interval between legis.

one. But il fake Legislation continue

BLAINE'S GENEROSITY.
How the Plumed Knight Aided Presi-
dent TayIOr's Daughter.

How the Plumed Knight Aided Presi-
dent TayIor's Daughter.
A good story of James G. Blaine is
told by writer in the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat. The incident related was
Maine statesman, when, as speaker of
the house, he got through Il resolution
appropriating $4,000 to the needy wild
owed daughter of PRESIDENT Zachary
Taylor. This lady got as far as Wash
ington on her way to Paris to see q
sick daughter, and, being destitute of
money, appealed to her only friend at
the capital, Gen. Sherman. His purse
was always open; to the distressed, but
he had no funds at all adequate to re-
lieve her necessities. In this emer-
gency he thought of Blaine. The man
from Maine entered into the spirit of
the occasion as soon as he heard Gen.
Sherman's statement. He called an
other to the chair, made q five-minutcs'
speech that fairly electrified the house,
which passed the resolution which
Blaine had penned only n moment be-
fore. He took the resolution in person
to the senate, where it was also imIrcdi-
ately passed, had the president to sign
it the next day, and on the following
day the beneficiary got the money. Gen.
Sherman always insisted that Blaine
would have made the grandest actor
that ever lived, and in adapting his
career to politics, he robbed the stage
of born star.

Coal, Lead, silver and tn An South
Africa.

Coal, Lead, silver and Tn IN South
Africa.
While there il little doubt that with
proper development Of it's agricultural
and pastoral resources South Africa
could be made practically self-support-
ing, the successful development of these
industries depends nevertheless upon
the creation Of local markets through
the stimulus given by mining opera
tlons, says the North American Review.
With the exception Of mining of gold,
diamonds and coal there have been no
considerable explorations of its min
eral resources. Coal fortunately ex-
lists in many parts of the country, and it
has been estimated that the known coal
fields represent IN area of Sc 900 square
miles, which is equal in extent to the
state of Iowa. There exist in some
parts of the country large deposits Of
iron contiguous to the coal fields. But
as yet the economic conditions have
not favored the development of that in
dustry. Lead, silver, cinnabar, tin and
ether metals are also found in many
parts Of the country, but have not been
Temuneratively worked. Among the
mining countries of South Africa the
Transvaal is facile princeps, and is in
all probability destined to maintain it's
paramount position, though, as is we'll
known, South Africa is "a country of
surprises" and it is possible, of course,
though not probable, that within it's
great extent other equally important
districts may be discovered.

The sand-Ladcnea Missouri.

Mr.. frank H. Spearman writes in st.
Nicholas of the freaks of the Missouri
river, his article being entitled "a Shift

You must know that the real business
of the Missouri is to carry the noun
tain waters east and south into the
Gulf of Mexico. But in bounding from
side to side of it's valley through the
tedious centuries, it has twisted and
turned so many times that no doubt it's
head is confused. Carrying the guam
tity Of mud it does, you would hardly
expect it to be clear-headed. There is
actually so much sand in the water that
the fish all have sore eyes; some are
