has been the subject OF a good deal OF
discussion as TO whether or not 1T aOro-
gates an established principle of our
government to open to settlers certain
lands in question, in the present in-
stance, those purchased by the gov
eminent from the Indians under the
severalty allotment law. Some OF these
lands have already been purchased by
settlers anxious to secure them, the
prices ranging from 81 to $3.50 per acre.
The total amount bought from the In
dams during the last eight years has
been nearly 100000 acres. The lands
lying in O~klahomP, which originally de
fined the limits OF the bill % it came

THE ART OF CONVERSATION.

and Charming Way.
Takers are not those who have news
to tell. Their mission is, as Pope de-
scribed the poets, to put into words
what oft was thought before, but not 80
we'll expressed. The mind is unequal to
the strain of taking information as such
all the tipe. We read just as we dress
in new gappents-not because we are
naked, but because we want to vary our
garments. W. read poetry for inspira-
Sion, science for the laws of life and
nature, newspapers for general informa-
ton, essays and history for relaxation
and the basis Of knowledge. Any one
well read in these mus: be an entertain
ing companion, if the faculty of impart-
ing the sum of them be given. In other
words, if he or she be a good talker.
Lord Macaulay, n of the best in
formed men of his time, was SO ~irresist-
ible a talker that whole companies sat
for hours to listen. His love Of talking
was so inordinate that q cessation of his,
wondrous outflow was loosely alluded
to as q brilliant flash of silence"
They had, 1t is true, more time to talk
in other days than we can set aside now.
and there were other occult influences
not less conducive to engaging g~arrulity.
In those times the streets were filed
with picturesque shapes and colors-the
nameless grace Of costumes and equi-
pages now seen only on the stage. No
wonder that, surrounded by birds of
such brilliant plumage, courts and kings,
robes and plumes, clashing swords and
rustling silks, our fathers and mothers
talked well. But in revenge we have a
vaster field to draw OIL for sprightly con
yersation. The schoolboy of today has a
greater fund of knowledge by merely
learning life's needs than the best edu-
Gated of the ancients. But he should be
encouraged to make use Of this by talk.

Live stock Points.

Mr.. Alexander Galbraith, secretary
Of the American Clydesdale association,
calls on owners of full blooded Clydes
dale stock Of any age or either sex TO
register the said stock in the Clydesdale
stud book, volume TO- Mr. Galbraith is
of opinion that the price of these fine
draft horses will advance In a year or
two to that commanded by them ten
years ago.
Whenever you build stable or pen
for any kind of live stock, provide for
plenty of light and ventilation This is
a necessity.
One thing is slowly forcing itself on
the attention of farmers and live stock
breeders the country over. 1t is that
they must regulate the output of their
product The Standard Oil regulates
with exactDess the amount of petroleum
produced and put upon the market. So
does the Whisky trust, so does the To-
bacco trust, so does the Sugar trust 1t
is all very well to abuse the promoters
of these combinations when one wants
something to blow about, but their

of self preservation. When the farmer
and stock breeder. the dairyman and
creameryman learn to do likewise, then
and not till then will they be uniformly
prosperous. The project can begin by
taking the census of the given stock,
dairy COWS, beef cattle. horses, sheep and
swine in each state, then combining
the figures and observing where and
when there is a scarcity and where and
when a flush. The managers of the
county agricultural societies and farm
ers' county institutes can do the work
for each small district. This is what
live stock production must come to if
there is to be any prosperity, and the
sooner the breeders and raisers under
stand and act on this policy the better.
Begin at once.

PISTOL CASE BEARER.
The New Orchard Pest Investiss

The New Orchard Pest Investigated
by Prof. Slingerlapd.
Prof. M. v. Slingerland, of the Cor
nell university agricultural experiment
station, has made a study of the new
orchard pest, and says that the pistol
case bearer" is more destructive than
any of the cease bearers" ever known.
He believes it to be an American insect.
In Pennsylvania it has already de-
stroyed 5000 trees, and has now made
it's appearance in New York. Its range
of food plants includes orchard fruits,
and probably the chestnut. 1t occurs
from Canada southwark, through New
York and Pennsylvania, where only
it has been destructive, and westward
through Nebraska into. New Mexico.
It is very small, and would hardly be
noticed except for the "cases" which
the little caterpillars wear, and which
reveal them to the casual observer.
Their form is pistol-shaped. They are
tough, leathery texture, apparently
made from silken threads, interviewer
with pubescence from leaves. These
little cases are odd-looling objects, and
are seen projecting from flower buds,
leaves or twigs. It is doubted If any
spray will reach the insect in its win
ter quarters. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Great improvement has resulted not
only from careful selection among ma

extent, from the importation of SUI
perior breeds. One of the most sue
cessful breeds yet introduced is the
Toggenburg from Switzerland. These
goats have many desirable qualities.
They are short haired. nearly always
hornless, and are unsurpassed as milk
ers. The accompanying illustration

Many of the North American Indians
were magnificent specimens of physical
manhood. This was due, largely, to their
active outdoor life Nevertheless, they
had the wisdom to know that an active life
in the open air alone, would not keep a
man healthy. They had their medicine

forest and brewed decoctions to assist the
natural processes of the various vital
organs.
Modern civilized men 90 not as usual
thing recognize the same necessity until it
is too late. They ignore medicine until
they are within the grasp of some serious
or fatal disease. The time for man to be-
gin taking medicine is when he begins to
feel out of sorts. If a man is thoroughly
well and healthy he does not feel that way.
If he does feel that way he may be pretty
sure that he is half sick. When he is half
sick it does not take long before he is

Experienced riders generally prefer
a saddle tilted,down, as it throws them
forward into the position which gives
them the greatest power. Others are
most comfortable on level saddles, and
a few like tocarry them tilted up. Much
depends on the shape of the saddle. A
good many of those made this year re-
quire to be tilted downward. The per-
fectly straight attitude is not SO often
seen among riders as formerly. Ex-
perience on the wheel teaches that a
slight inclinat ion,forward is the natural
attitude, the most comfortable, and the
one In which the power of the legs is
most easily used It does not involve

THE BICYCLE HAND.

1t II by No Means a Necessary Com
sequence of Wheeling.
The bicycle hand is again heard of,
this time in Connecticut. Miss Mary
Mccarthy. an expert wheelwoman, of
Seymour, Is reported to have suffered
severely from the malady, one hand be-
ing greatly swollen and the fingers
doubled under. The trouble was SO bad
that doctor was called. He found
it necessary to sever muscle between
the thumb and forefnger in order to
restore the hands usefulness.
Last year the bicycle hand caused a
good deal of inquiry among New York
wheelmen. Riders were found who
complained of numbness of theii
fingers, and pain at times. The Attic
ton usually lasted only few hours,
but, In some instances, it was of several
days duration. A professor of nervous
diseases attributed the unnatural con.
dition of the hands to improper meth
DDS of holding the handle bar. ut is
possible" said the specialist, Ito pro-
duce true paralysis by gripping the
handle bar of bicycle unduly for a
long time; and by doing SO anyone's
fingers are liable to become insensible
to the touch. Numbness, however, is
the only disorder of the hands / have
ever heard of as resulting from the
wheel"
It should be said that the worst cases
OF bicycle hand" that have come to
light do not seem to belong to new
riders, who are naturally ignorant con-
corning the details of wheeling. The
most serious example of the sort heard
of last year was afforded by wheelman
Of five years. experience.
II cyclists will remember that the
handle bar should be held lightly, and
not gripped like grim death, the case
In Seymour may be the last, as well as
the first, of the year. The bicycle hand
