Mourning Enve1ope. Excluded.

velopeS are not TO pass through the

deep al edge as the sender desires, but
the cover must be white or may be tint

out of sympathy with the expression of
mourning by means of stationery. On
the contrary. the sending of mourning

The Farm Reat the Mortgage.

The following story illustrates the
resources of Nebraska farm: a
farmer got discouraged because he
didn't get rich the first year and, as
there was mortgage of 500 on his
farm. was about ready TO jump the
whole business, but determined TO
make one more effort and sowed SO
acres in wheat. 1t happened to be a
poor year for wheat and the stand
was not very good. Concluding that it
wasn't worth harvesting he pulled up
his stakes and moseyed back TO Mis-
souri,, leaving the farm to fight the
mortgage all by itself. The farm was
equal to the occasion.
The wheat ripened, fell down and de-
posted the seed in the soil again. Next
spring the wheat began to grow Justify.
Some of the neighbors We're honest
enough to write about it down to the
fugitive in Missouri, and he got inter
ested enough TO come back and take a
look. Then he stopped and harvested
his voluntary crop. He sold it for
enough to pay of the mortgage and the
rest of his debts and had Il tidy little
surplus over, with which he moved his
family back and now declares there is
no state like Nebraska.-Lincoln (Neb.)

The Kamr's wives.

The Kafiir is day laborer and reck-
ons his wealth in the number of heads
of cattle lie may be able to acquire.
He works for a couple of years until
he can get II oxen or cows. Then he
HES himself TO the Zululand on the
east or to other countries controlled by
black men and there buys himself n
wife. Ten cows is the price of wife.
The seventh is killed for the wedding
feast. The IIaffir remains a few
months with his wife, then off to the
mines he goes to earn the price of an
other.
When he possesses half a dozen
wives, the Kaffir's mental toll is over,
and he becomes a gentleman. His
wives plant the mealy CORN and look
after what cattle their lord and master
owns With a kraal full of daughters
the Kaffir must become Il rich and i'm
portant person.
The daughter of a chief costs %
cows and the daughter of king so,
no matter how old or ugly. The chiefs
are severely strict in their watchful-
ness over the morals Of the Kaffirs. If
one is found guilty of dishonesty, he is
fined so many oxen. The Kafflr is
said to be better in his original state
than when contaminated with what
they call Observation-Disclosures State.

Take Care of Your Ears.

Men and women have much to do to
keep straight. y hundred nerves and
muscles are at work all through the
waking hours, giving warning or re-
ceiying orders that the body, with its
many joints and natural instability,
shall preserve its equilibrium, shall not
stagger or double up in a hopeless
heap. These nerves and muscles are 4
highly organized signal service, the
chief offices of which are in the semi
circular canals buried in the stony"
homework that protects the inner ear.
We're it not for these canals human
being would find IT difficult, often i'm
possible, TO maintain a proper balance
either while walking or standing still.
So long as these canals are in healthy
working order their reports are trust
worthy. but when any undue force has
shocked them or any agency, such as
sickness, has interfered with their
workings their messages are incoher-
ent, and the brain, like the engineer of
a battleship in action, when the men
above are blinded and bewildered, has
nothing to do but let things go.-Ber-
lin (Md.) Herald.

Bright Democratic Prospects In Illinois.

Bright Democratic Prospects In Illinois.
Hon. j. Nick Perrin. OF BellevilIe,
was in Bloomington Wednesday. He
has been travelling over the state to a
considerable extent and is naturally
observing the signs of the political
times. Being asked for his political
views on the outlook, by a Bulletin
representative, Mr.. Perrin replied as
follows:
"A careful review of the political
situation in Illinois and in fact in the
whole country, would indicate that
there are elements which If properly
utilized will make it more than pos
sible for the democracy to win in 1900.
The main element. of course, lies in
the matter of the bosses keeping their
ears close to the voice of the people.
While there is a boast of business
prosperity in administration circles
and among the trust concerns. vet the
great body of producers, especially
the farmers, have experienced none Of
it. and hence the voices of the masses
is still loud for better economic con-
ditions. This means that the
men in convention assembled must
be Representatives, not bosses,
and needing the public senti-
ment, must reaffirm the old platform,
which means a betterment of economic
conditions. New conditions may have
given rise TO some new and serious
questions. But the most serious one
pressing for a solution is the matter of
how the toiler shall reap a proper
tionate reward of the fruits of his la
Dor without having everything alb
sorbed by some gigantic trust organi-
cation This question being 80 vital
to the masses. because it comes close
to their homes. will. if properly ham

party to handle it properly, because it

is the champion of the working peo-
pie. This home question is more inn
portant than the matter of foreign ALI
ances with other powers, which, while
they might enrich a few spectators.
would still further enslave the pro-
ducers. The American people prefer
a decent financial and economic sys-
tenn at home to an entangling English
or other alliance abroad. Along these
lines the next president and governor
will be democrats

The year 1900 will not be counted among
the leap years. The year is 365 days, five
hours and forty-nine minutes long; eleven
minutes are taken every year to make
the year 1854 days long, and every fourth
year we have an extra day.
This was Julius Caesars arrangement.
Where do those eleven minutes come
from? They come from the future, and
are paid by emitting a leap year every 100
years. But if leap year is omitted regu-
larry every Tooth year, in the course of
400 years Il Is found that the eleven min
utes taken each year will not only have
been paid back, but a whole day will have
been given up.
So Pope Gregory III, who improved on
Caesars calendar In 1852, decreed that
every fourth centuriai year should be a
leap year, after all. So we borrow eleven
minutes every year, more than paying our
borrowings back by emitting three Heap
years in three centurial years, and square
matters by having a leap year IN the
iourth centurial year. Pope Gregorys ar
rangement is so exact and the borrowing
ana paying back balance 30 closely, that
we borrow more than we pay back to the
extent OF one day In 1896 years.
