IN A KANSAS TOWN.

Differs from Other American villages
an Many Respects.
Chiefly by reason of Its newness and
of certain cosmopolitan aspect the
Kansas town differs from villages else
where In the United States and presents
q few interesting variations from the
common type, says Atlantic. The
largest town In the commonwealth has
hardly 10000 inhabitants. Most of the
county seats In the eastern half Of the
state, where the rainfall Is copious and
where crops are bountiful and regular,
contain about 5000 persons each. The
county seat Is in the strictest sense a
country town. The Inhabitants live al
most entirely upon the tributary coun-
try. There are no factories. The
money that the farmers of the county
spend for food, clothing, fuel and the
comforts of the farm home is the cash
capital upon which the town does it's
business. This capital is passed from
the grocers to the clothing merchants,
to the druggists, to the furniture deal
ers, to the hardware sellers and to pro-
fessional men. In the older communi-
ties Of the eastern and middle states
necessity has developed factories.
which convert raw material into fin
ished products, and money from the
outside world comes in But Kansas Is
yet hardly generation old, and 1t has
not entered the manufacturing era Of
industry.

OLD TIMES IN HAWAII.
Reverence 3or Royalty Was Once

Reverence for Royalty Was Once o
Marked Characteristic.
One of the most marked characteris-
tics Of the ancient Hawaiian religion
was the extreme reverence for royalty
indicated, says the Philadelphia Press.
It was q crime punishable with death
to pass through the kings shadow or
sit higher than his head. His person
eyas sacred and protected by strict sys-
tenn OF "taboo." In the royal palace
the ''taboo" stick, with which the
king announced his accommodations,
Is exhibited. It is wand with carved
stone cap. II this stick was lowered on
the approach Of Courier he was COM
PEELED to withdraw Immediately and
was considered in deep disgrace.
The kings will was absolute; but the
majority Of the Hawaiian monarchs
seem to have been of a kindly DISPOSE
ton and to have made no improper use
OF their extreme power. It was due to
one of. them that the taboo system was
abolished. This bore with grievous
weight upon the women. They were
forbidden the use of some of the most
common articles Of diet, such as bananas
and certain kinds of fish, on pain OF
death

SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL.
A. Smokeless Fuel That Seems to BE
Gaining in Popularity.

A. Smokeless Fuel That Seems to BE
Gaining in Popularity
In the future we may be exporting
masut instead of exporting coal, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean. Masut Is a
by-product in the distillation of raw
petroleum. It is also manufactured
from a cheap brown coal found in Sax
ony. There has been, until recently,
great trouble in finding furnace suit
able for burning 1t. It Is now blown
by steam into special furnace, on the
principle of the Lucigen light, and used
without difficulty. 1t is 40 or 80 per
cent. cheaper than coal, and is 20 per
cent. better as heat raiser. Steam can
be got up quicker and kept at a higher
pressure, and Amore work can be done
by the machinery. From naval point
Of view these are vitality important
facts. No sign of ship under full
steam will be shown In the sky, for ma
sut is q smokeless fuel. Russia and
Italy are using 1t in their naVies, and
Germany has lately made some valuable
experiments. At Kiel, Wilhelmshaven
and Danzig are tanks from which 1t
can be pumped into ships. It's specific
gravity being SO puch less than that
of coal, a ships buoyancy is greatly in
creased when the bunkers are filled
with 1t. Heavier armor or cargoes can
be carried. The heating capacity be-
ing greater, the ship can travel faster or
farther. 1t Is yet to be learned what
improvements the Germans have intrto-
duced into their furnaces, and what
are the disadvantages Of masut.

Modern Methods Insure Better and
Less Dangerous Work.
In nothing has the superiority of
modern over former methods been made
more manifest than in the various pro-
cesses employed for gliding. says the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Now the
greater portion of gilded articles are
gold-covered by means of the electrical
bath. Formerly gliding was done by
laborious and troublesome processes,
In certain stages very detrimental to
the health of the workmen. The old
time glider used apamalgam OF gold and
mercury, causing it to adhere to the
bronze article by means OH nitrate OF
mercury. the nitrous and : :naercurial
fumes being poisonous, always en-
dangering the health OF the workman,
and sometimes inducing incurable dis
ease. Now the article to be gilded lis
placed In an electric bath. the current
Is turned on. and In short time the
piece is ready for the burnisher. Gild-
ing by means of gold leaf and gold pow
der is still practiced, the work being
mostly done by hand. but it's delicacy
is such as to require long practice and
great experience. An amateur glider
has no earthly chance of success-his
work will always show the inexperience
OF the workman.

A Colony Of Degenerate Human
Freaks who Live Like Beasts.
A most revolving form of human de-
generacy Is. to be seen on Snake creek,
In the Indian nation, Indian territory,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. A small
colony of human freaks, with dirty.
whitish hair, and white, CLASSY eyes,
eke out O miserable existence In the
midst of the most filthy surroundings,
being ostracized from the companion
ship of the other Creeks. These de-
generates are the result OF frequent in
termarriage among class Of mongrel
whites, negroes and Indians, and the
degeneracy has kept dropping down
the scale Of human intelligence until 1t
is said these people eat snakes, toads
and other reptiles. They use peculiar
iargon. many expressions resembling
the clucking of hens and the unpleasant
noises made by belligerent geese. Their
hair is somewhat kinky, but stands out
nearly straight, giving them a very
frightful appearance. They live out in
the open air, except in very unpleasant
weather, when they crawl into rude
caves or dugouts, reeking with flfh and
vermin. Many of them are afflicted
with sores, and are deformed or cross
eyed. They are too lazy to be mean.
but the very sight Of them Is sickening,
and they are Stunned like lepers. A
subagent has been asked for to look
after their annuities and to secure for
them something like human comforts.
They have many children, and their Off
spring are most pitiful looking objects.

When one hears OF people signing tor

them suffering from ennui and bore
dom. 1t is thousand pities that some
body does not point out an easy way
of escape from the fashionable malady

est in the life that everywhere encom-
passes their footsteps, says the Illus
trated London News. The story of o
primrose, for example, Is In itself as
curious bit OF living history as can
well be selected from the domain OF
plant life, and the recital OF the part
played by bees In Its fertilization Is cal
cuiated to awake the interest even OF
the biase listener. Only, botany, If it's
to be made popular to boys and girls,
must be taught properly. What Is
wanted at first is to bring the pupil at
once into contact with living nature, to
make him see and observe for himsen,
and to make him understand what he
sees by the simple plan OF looking at
the flower or leaf he is studying. In
this way you create an appetite for
nature-study, and introduce the boy or
girl into q new universe full OF won
drous things. the contemplation where

ioice the heart to think that the world,
after all. is "fair to see" to those who
have the eyes to discern Its beauty.

Then the Drinker VIII Keep His Head
Clear All Evening.
The glasses were going round when
the man who had been in the navy
spoke, says the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal. ''Wait q minute, boys. We've had
several. Let me give you tip that I
learned when 1 was on the China sta
ton. You are pretty good drinkers,
you Kentucky boys, and you could hold
your own with anybody east, west or
north who tries to put you under the
table. But unless you carry out my
plans don't you ever stack yourselves
up against an Englishman, and espe-
cia1ly an army or naval officer. You
could knock them out ON whisky, burt
they don't drink 1t, except in smoky
Scotch and Irish denominations. But
with champagne brandy, claret, ale,
sherry, port pulque in Mexico, sah in
China, palm liquor in Africa, bamboos
and shandygaR I'm India, steer clear Of
them-that is, unless you have the good
luck 10 meet a certain little yellow
faced, wizened creole from Louisiana,
whose recipe Is passed around the mess
tables of United States men-of-war to
this day. It started in the old days
when the British officers always had
the pleasure of outstaying their Amer
lean guests or hosts whenever two ships
met on foreign station. Then that
little yellow devil came along with his
trick and the Englishmen have never
since come better than second In any
drinking bout. The secret? Olive oil.
One wineglassful before the fun begins
and, If possible, another later on and
youcan keep pyourwits and legs through
out the dampest evening. Isuppose one
of two things happens. Either the oil
coats the stomach and keeps the alco-
hol from being absorbed by the sys-
tenn, or else it floats on top and keeps
the fumes from rising to the brain
But you'll have to ask the medicine
man about that. All I know is itsprac-
teal result and that has enabled us

MAGAZINE RIFLES.

weapons That Are serviceable After
Firing O,0OO Rounds.
Some curious effects Of the tests of
the new magazine rifles In actual SER
vice are noted In Engineering. Cordite
was accused of causing rapid wear OF
the rifing. and this charge must have
had some foundation, as the MeHford
rifing has been abandoned In the
weapons now issued, and has been re-
placed by the system devised by Rigby,
which is said to wear we'll and give
more accurate shooting than the Mann
hcher, Mauser or Lebel systems.
Certainly the wear cannot now be
very serious matter, II the reports
can be relied on that accurate shoot
ing has been made esen after firing
some thousands OF rounds and the
weapon Is still serviceable after s,oo0
or 1900 rounds have been fired.
In the Toche punitive expedition the
new Dumbun bullet will be employed,
that originally used having proved de-
fcient In stopping power. In the Chit
ra1 campaign one man was six times
shot, and nevertheless he recovered.
The private soldiers are, accordingly,
losing confidence in the weapon.

UNTOUCHED BY FINGERS.

Berlin Bakers Employ HygieRic
Methods i'm Bread Handling.
A novel improvement In bakingahas
been made by some of the most prom-
nent bakers Of Berlin, which is the nat
ural consequence Of the increasing ten
dency to employ hygienio methods IN
every trade dealing with food and food
supplies, says the Philadelphia Record.
While rolls have long been delivered in
paper bags to customers, 1t has always
been the rule to handle bread with the
fingers, each loaf going through num-
ber Of hands before delivered ct the
consumers door, there to be received
by the bare, often not too clean. an-
gers of the servant. The recent I'm
provement, which has been covered by
patents, consists Of using paper bags
the exact shape of the various sizes Of
bread turned out by q baker. These
bags are open at both ends, and, being
slightly longer than the loaf, the ends
are turned together with twist as the
loaf is showed from the oven straight
into the bag. This&coyer will protect
the bread from any pollution after 1t
leaves the oven, for 1t is kept In the
paper bag not only while being handled
in the bakery and by the delivery man.
but 1t can be kept there while the loaf
is being used. being cut at one end as
the loaf gets shorter. The new system
has found very quick spread. and the
best bakeries, who at once introduced
the new improvement, gained by Its
adoption. Since the name of the baker
can be printed on the2utside Of the bag
without interfering with It's usefulness.
it may be asgood advertisement to adopt
such plan here as well.

RAILROADS FOR CHINA.

Millions OF Dollars Being spent to
Open the Flowery Kingdona.
The close of the century will have
witnessed the beginning Of a profound
change In the industrial conditions OF
China and the adjacent parts Of the
orient, says Review of Reviews. Besides
the great trunk railroads that the Rus
slams are to build in the north Of China,
and the Chinese lines that will be built
by the Belgian company recently char
tered, it is announced that the French
government has completed important
arrangements for the extension Of rail-
roads from Cochin China, the Tonquin
region, well into the adjacent Chinese
provinces. On the west the trans-Cas-
plan lines are approaching Chinese ter
ritory, while railroad building under
English governmental auspices in the
Malayan peninsula is progressing with
much enterprise, and new concessions
have just been wrested from the Chinese
government. Several million dollars Is
about to be spent for constructing 200
miles Of road as an extension Of exist
ing lines. All this work in and about
China means the gradual opening up OF
an enormous commerce with that rich
and productive empire.

Ones Character.
The whole nature of person, accord
ing to a faceologist, is indicated In the
eyebrows. Eyebrows that are graceful
" arehed and elevated show imagine
ton and ideality. and, when much ele-
vated, credulity; those that are de-
pressed over the nose and almost
straight show penetrating powers OF
observation. It Is also said that one
perpendicular wrinkle over the nose
and between the brows shows care
fulness In small matters, while two or
three wrinkles show conscientiousnesa.
Rough eyebrows show fondness for
music, especially If thick and lowering.
while the art lover of either sex has
eyebrows that are long and tapering.
One other sign which is sometimes
found in q mans face, though oftener
in a woman's, is the dimple. Everyone
loves dimpled cheek, and the fact
seems to be that dimples, whether In
cheek OF chin, mellow. and sweeten the
disposition. They show strong desire
to be loved and appreciated, as well as
wish to be agreeable. And they also
show keen appreciation of beauty In
the opposite sex.
