the proper elevation. But the practice
among careful farmers is to gradually
grade their fields to an even slope, de-
pressions being filed and high places
leveled. A pillow furrow is usually the
ditch provided for an ordinary field,

Some figures In this connection may
not prove uninteresting, The whole
area of Colorado is 86. $50 900 acres. but
large part of this is mountain land,
not adapted for agriculture. The i'm
proved land in 1897 is given at 1000 900
acres IN round numbers. Double this
total is now under irrigation, and the
extent is being widened rapidly. There
are in the state 1900 miles of irrigat-
ing bitches Of various dimensions, rep
resenting an investment of $50, 600, 900.
The average annual cost of water per
acre is given at 70 cents.
Large some of tn. above figures

region is only in its infancy. This fact
was forcibly impressed on the minds of
the National Editorial Association del
eeates on the occasion of their tour of
the improvements being made by the
Great Plains Water Storage Go. in the
Arkansas valley, brief reference to
which was made in earlier correspond

mammoth scale in the storage in five
great lakes, of the storm and flood wa
ters of the winter, which now go to
waste, and their distribution over
considerable part of southeastern Col
orado and western Kansas in the sum-
mer. The lakes are constructed bv
dykes thrown up at needed points on
the almost level pralries, thus enclosing
vast bodies of water, conducted to them
by canals and natural water courses
from the mountains.
This only differs from many similar
concerns in the hact and is larger than
any of them, being the most extensive
irrigation system on the continent, and
but few in India being larger. 1t con-

HOW IF SAVED PAIN.

"There's been a wonderful advance to dental surgery of late years,'' said a man with a slightly swollen jaw. "The old, brutal style of yanking out molars has come out of date. I had tooth pulled this morning, and the whole thing was so quiet and easy I could scarcely believe it had been done. I took a whiff of gas, and opened my eyes to find the tooth gone. I didn't even see the forceps, It was in strong contrast by the way, with an experi- ence of mine some years ago, when painless dentistry was still in it's ex- perimental stage. l had back tooth that was giving me fits, and went to a man who dvertised painless extrac- tion by means of what were called electrical forceps.' It was complicat- ed foreign device, long since abandon ed, that sent a current along the in- strument just as I took hold. The den- tist was a candid-looking chap, and I asked him to tell me honestly whether it would hurt. Well, he said, tits like this Suppose a fellow hit you in the mouth with his fist and at the same time hit you on the nose with a brick you wouldn't feel the first, would you?' I told him to go ahead and drag out the tooth in the good, old fashioned way. After that explanation I wanted no electric forceps in mine New Or leans Times Democrat.

New York, Nov. 29.-Proft taking was the order of the day on the stock exchange to-day. Some attempt was made to resist the declining tendency but the persistent selling to realize dis couraged the effort and support was finally withdrawn throughout the list. Yesterdays strong demand for London account fell off to-day, as it was gener- ally supposed it would when the effect of this buying on the sterling exchange market was remarked. The approach of exchange to the gold import point re- suited in an advance in the private dis count rate in London to-day and this again a rise in London exchange at Berlin, which continues to be the reali- zation of the pressing need of money. Posted rates were reduced half cent and the actual rate for demand sterling fell 4S5 IA under the large offerings of grain and cotton bills against exports. This is the level for exchange which drought gold on the recent movement and there is little doubt that gold would kaye been engaged in London for inn port to-day had it not been for a furth- CT rise in the price of the metal in that market, bars advanced half q penny to fTs II 1-21 and American Eagles IA penny to 76s 1-4. London ceases to buy Americans under the stress Of thts threatening condition in the exchange market, Nevertheless the stock market showed advances at the opening here and was sustained by heavy buying of the Changers on the Burlington state ment. It was known, however, that the recent buying of the Changers was in anticipation of this statement and the same was evidently true of Union Pa cific which with large increase in gross earnings and reduction in operat- ing expenses, showed an addition to the surplus of S307, ,S91. The publication of these statements was therefore met with heavy realizing. There was in ad- dition continued realizing in Atchison pfd and some selling of Northwestern and Omaha by holders who were dis appointed at the failure to increase in Northwest dividend There was strength among Southwestern and some Southern railroad.

CLARA BARToN's BOOK.
A Detailed History of the Red Cross
 Now Being Published.

Detailed History or the Red Cross
 Now Being Published.
 Now that the responsible head of the American Red Cross is allowed a brief rest from active duty in the field at the urgent request of those who have followed it's work in this country in It's overwhelming effort for humanity she has consented to place the records of the movement in permanent form; and the result of her labors will soon be given to the world in the shape of book entitled "The Red Cross" by Clara Barton.
 Previous to this Miss Barton's duties have never permitted anything further than few articles in the leading peril odicals, these being devoted to some particular incident in her career but she now feels that the American Red Cross has become an important and permanent institution, with a history well worth being placed in enduring form. Her publishers are confident that the story will be fascinating and in- SlI hCtlNC uHS, SiiiCc py ItdSOH Ol Ter position as neutral, she must have be- come possessed of a large amount of interesting information never hereto fore given to the public. It will be his- tory written from between the lines inside history of the field work by which the Red Cross has endeared it. self to the people of the country for the last twenty years.
 Miss Barton's career as a humanta- rian began in the days of our Civil war. At the outbreak of the Franco-German struggle she was recruiting her health in Switzerland, and by invitation of the International committea of the Red Cross of Geneva she joined their forces in the field, and so endeared herself to both countries as to receive a public vote of thanks from France, and the decoration of the Iron Cross from Germany. The cordial relations indieat- ed by these public recognitions resulted in warm personal friendship with the courts of these countries which con- tinues at the present day. It is hardly necessary to add that Miss Barton has been potent factor In the relief of such national calamities as the Russian fam inc, Johnstown flood, Mississippi inun- dations, yellow fever epidemics, hurri- cane of the Carolina Islands, and in 1896 she successfully conducted the difficult problem of carrying relief to the Ar menians in Asia Minor. Her work in the relief of the Cuban reconcentradoa and in the Spanish-American war is still fresh in the minds of the people.
 This book will be abundantly illus trated by photographs and sketches faithfully taken at the various fields of labor, descriptive of places alluded to, the methods of work, and historic feat ures connected herewith. Many of these incidents and "reminiscences have never been published, and but for this persistent effort on the part of her friends and admirers, would probably never have been given to the world. En- quiries concerning this book may he addressed to the headquarters of the publishers, No. 5S William street, New York city.

THE POOR IN INDIAN TERRITORY
 "The sofka patch' is still the main reliance in the interior of the Indian nations. In the towns one encounters Indian lawyers, Indian bankers, Indian graduates of colleges, Indian business men, Indians who only differ from Americans in that they hold tribal cit izenship. But back of the towns, away from the railroads, are the cabins and the sofa patches. The log house has taken the place of the tepee and the sofka patch has made existence possi- ble without the chase. The sofka patch is, to the eyes of the white man. a field of corn from two to five acres in ex- tent It is planted by hand. and what little cultivation it receives is of the same character. An American would hardly undertake to raise a shoat on the sofka produced from two to three acres. The women and girls of the family usually plant and cultivate and :.atber the crop. 4 tree is sawed off. In inc butt is burned a large hole, which fulfllls the purpose of a mortar. A stick is hewn into the shape of pestle. Corn is soaked in salt water dried put into the burned hole, and pounded. Strong brine is added when the corn has been broken efficiently. The product is then sofka. On this primitive food whole families of the poorer Indians of the territory subsist month after month"; Correspondence St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Mr.. W. II. Wright Dragged Fifty
Yards Under Train.

Mr. ". II. Wright a we'll known en-
ploye Of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
way, whose duties are in connection with
making up trains AZ the Seventeenth
Street station, had a most remarkable
escape from a fearful death Friday at
tcrnoOn about 800 o'clock.
Mr. Wright was under the train which
was being made up for Newport News,
coupling tie air-brake pipes. Tile engi,
neer was signalled 10 go ahead by one Of
the officials. who did not know that Mr.
Wright was under the train.
The latter. who is "A large and powerful
man. was thrown to the ground and
would doubtless have been instantly kill
"a but for his presence Of mind. He kept
a firm grip on the air-brakc pipes and
was dragged along the ground probably
fifty yards, his body leaving a deep i'm
preston on the earth. His clothes were
nearly torn of, book in one his pock-
cts being snatched out.
The railroad employees who were around
the station saw Mr.. Wright's great peril
and shouted TO the engineer to stop
which he did Mr.. Wright then quickly
extricated himself from his perilous sit
uation lie was perfectly self-possessed,
but was much incensed and proceeded TO
tell those responsible for his danger
what he thought Of them.
