SACRED INDIAN RELIC.
All CeyIon in n Fever of Excitement
Over n New Cas<ct for Buddhn's
Sacred Tooth.

All Ceylon is wild over the fact that
the Sacred Tooth, the most famous re-
hgious relic of the Buddhist world, has
just been lowered with new casket.
The tooth is kept in the temple of
Dalada Malagawa, in Randy, Ceylon
1t is reported to have belonged to
Gautama Buddha, the messiah of the
east, but inasmuch as it is about two
inches long and one inch wide at its
base it is more likely to have been a
part of the dental armature of some
crocodile or large pig.
The shrine" in which it has been
kept for centuries past is large
silver-gilt and bell-shaped receptacle.
This incloses six other shrines of pure
gold of decreasing sizes, one placed
within the other, the last and smallest
containing the Sacred Tooth.
The new shrine, which will inclose all
the others, is wonderful piece of work
manship in the shape of dagoba. The
body is of massive gold, and is garland
ed with strings of jewels and sur
mounted by a splendid ruby. 1t is COW
cred by silver canopy, inlaid with pre-
cious stones. The whole stands some
six feet high. It's value is a lac and a
half of rupees, or $780, 900, and the duties
charged by the Ceylon custom house
were $4,000 more. This magnificent
casllet was presented by the Buddhists
of Burmah. Thirteen hundred Bur-
mese, 37O of whom are priests, escort
ed it from Rangoon to Handy. The per-

ANTS AND THEIR WAYS.
IL the Busy Little Things Were
Large Enough They Would
Rule Everything. -

If ants were large enough they would
rule the earth. AS it is, they predomi-
nate the politics of their own sphere,
and have many human characteristics,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The longest time for which an ant
sleeps is three and a half hours. On
awakening they stretch their legs,
yawn and then carefully clean them
selves by applying their legs to their
mouths and rubbing them over their
bodies, very much in the style of cat
washing her face; after which they
comb and brush their heads and bodies
with the natural comb which nature
gives them.
The most remarkable thing about.
this is thst almost every necessity fot
which we are obliged in our case to en-
ploy more or less complicated me-
chanScal contrivances is provided for
by the physical structure of the ants.
Ants clean themselves both before
and after sleep and also after eating.
Frequently one ant will lick and brush
another all over, limb by limb, the ant
operated on sprawling on her back, re-
| laXing her muscles and abandoning her
self to the enjoyment of the operation.
They are great hunters, attacking
snakes, lizards, rats, mice, centipedea
and beetles.

LIGHT AND DARKNESS.
Pain Is Easier to Bear When the
Sun Shines Than in the Gloomy
Dark of Night.

All who ever suffered from n tooth
ache know to their sorrow that the
pains increase as the night grows older.
A toothache which during the day in
terfered but little with our enjoyment
of life is likely to develop during the
hours of darkness into a yeritable ter
ror, that makes us curse the accident of
our birth. 1t is the same with an ear
ache, asthmatic troubles, etc. Asthma
is most likely to develop into smother
ing nightmare between the hours of 10
p. m. and 6 n. m.
At the Vienna university DIR. Gold
sohcider has told the reason in paper
read before his class. He thinks the
darkness prevailing in the average bed
room is at fault. Light, he says, plays
greater part in the pathology of aches
than most people imagine. Those are,
generally speaking, the healthiest mem
bers of the human family who live in
sunlit, well aired rooms, and who move
about in the sun as much as practicable.
If in daytime we are stricken with
pain our sutferings are certainly less,
relatively speaking, than they would be
if the malady had seized us at night,
for light and sunshine soothe our feel
ings and do not allow us to abandon
ourselves to the feeling of pain.
When night comes the painful sensa-
tions increase; they are bearable as
long as we are in the gas or lamplight,
but become intense the moment we
stretch out in bed, enveloped by still
ness and darkness. A lessening of the
pain is observable only after sunrise.
"What does it mean?" asks the doc
tor. THAT darkness and stiffness are
not conducive to the comfort of sick
people. Therefore, I say, if you have
pains in the evening, do not rob your
self of the soothing effects of a lamp.
In ninety-nine out of hundred cases
the presence of light in the sick room
alleviates pain.
For the same reasons, do not let
your children sleep in the dark if they
prefer a light. The denial of night
light has made many a child i'll with
heart disease. If children refuse TO
sleep in the dark it may be assumed
that there is some physical or mental
reason Tor 1t which we ought to respect.

are exempt. Some of them absolutely

WONDERFUL OPERATION.
GunlocIS, over Two Inches Long, RE-
moved from the Eye of
Young OhiOnn.

For a man to go about for five years
carrying imbeddcd in his skull piece
of iron over two inches long and half
an inch thick and to be totally uncon-
scious of the fact seems an absurdity.
Yet that is just what John w. Ray, of
Chillicothe, o., has done, and without
suffering any physical inconvenience
whatever. The case is without doubt
the most remarkable in a surgical sense
that ever happened there and has at
tracted widespread attention.
Five years ago Ray went hunting,
and his shotgun exploded in his hands.
His face was badly powder-burned and
several of the flying pieces of metal
struck him in the face and cut it. The
deepest was right at the inside corner
of the left eye, close up to the nose, and
extending short distance under the
eye. But the cut soon healed and moth
ing more was thought of it. Rays eye

Cars without Wheels.

Street cars without wheels are the
latest novelty in vehicles. The cars run
on ball bearings, and, being near the
line instead of raised above it, are not
subject to the same amount of re-
sistance in the form of centrifugal
force. Much greater speed is thus OBJ
tained, and the wear of the balls in car
rying the car is much less than the
wear of the wheel rims. The movement
of the tramcar is easy and agreeable.

either. His name is Chabot. The name
de Rohan he took from his first wife.
There is no Baron de Giers, although
the man whom DIR. Chauncey NJ. De-
pew's ward, Miss Collins, married last
year bears that name. Due Decazes,
husband of Mary Singer, of New York,
is the son of police prefect, and bears
a title of no value in France, it having
been granted by the king of Denmark.
Count de Nillars. who married Garcia
Livingstone, has no right to a title. He
is descended from man who came to
Paris, started in the hotel business, and
quietly assumed the title of count.
Clara Ward married an alleged Prince
de Chimay. There is no original Prince
Chimay. A Chimay married a princess
and took tile title of prince. Due de la
Rochefoucauld, who married Matte
Mitchell, has a right title, but it is now
too new to be valuable, for he is a de-
Bcendant of a blacksmith.
Among the few real titles worn by
American women is that of Miss Hoff-
man, of New York, who married the
late Marquis de Mores.
American women, when they cannot
marry even bogus French titles, some
times get them from the pope. For in
stance, Mrs. Mackin, of st. Louis, is the
papal Countess de Spothswood-Maclsin.
Mrs. Wentworth, of New York, is the
papal Marquise de Wentworth. Even
our bogus titles are dear. Miss Gould's

lived ascetically. The ostentation of re-
hgion is a part of the play of society.
But with the end of the Lenten sea-
son society went out misunderstanding
with vengeance. 1t is an exciting
chase, and not any more dangerous
than lephant-hdnting and some of
the husband-hunters, by the way, catch
white elephants.
Brass buttons and epaulettes are al
ways attractive. Many of the sweet So
ciety girls who are most ostentatious
with their religious devotions during
Lent are shyly keeping their worldly
eyes on the stalwart fellows of the army
and navy. In this country the brass
buttons and epaulettes stand well, in
lieu of foreign titles, although many of
our girls would prefer enfeebled, tot
tering old roues with titles to whole
some American manhood.
Society mammas in the national cap
ital are cold-blooded and calculating
husband-hunters. Did you ever see a
game of baseball, where a strong pitch
er sends the ball across the plate like
a rifleshot? Well, that is the way some
of these society mammas handle their
daughters. They pick them up, as a
pitcher picks up ball, and they hurl
their daughters full at the heads of the
fellows whom they want to capture.
1t makes no difference to the society
mamma whether her daughter has a
soul or not, whether she has a future
on earth or in eternity. 1t makes no
difference whether she is to become a
good wife and a worthy mother, or
whether the man is a thoroughbred or
moral leper. Mamma wants to marry
off her daughter, and she is going to do
1t, somehow, regardless of conse-
quences.
The quest of army and navy officers
for husbands has been going on for
years. Poor boys just out of the mill
tary and naval academies are good
catches for the daughters of rich men,
and they can easily pick their girl out of
choice bevy. But the society mammas
are also always after the single men in
the foreign legations and embassies.
Titles are preferred, always.
Unfortunately, this condition of af-
fairs is not confined to Washington
city; but we know that all over America
there are society mammas, hurting
their daughters at the heads of spindle
shanked fools, with real, borrowed or
imaginary titles. They pay millions of
dollars for these titles, and their daugh-
ters shed millions of tears afterwards,
as they realize that they have wasted
their lives, and scared their souls, for
baubles light as air.
Miss Gould, of New York, married
Count Castellane. There is no Count
Castellane. There were two Castellane
families, one from Provence and one
from Toulouse. The former, which is
now extinct, rightly bore the title. The
Toulouse Castellanes, to whom belongs
Miss Gould's husband, never had a title,
but assumed one when the Provence
family died out.

ried Miss Hayward, is not count

A Peculiar Deal.
COURT HOUSE WANTED

Emporia, Feb. 10.-The latest scheme
to secure a court house for Lyon county
is to sell the NJ. K. & #. bonds or stock
owned by the county and with the
funds received build a court house with
out taxing the people a cent.
w. S. Jay, who has locked the matter
up. claims that the so-called NJ. K. &
T. bonds are worth more than is gen
orally believed. He says:
THE Union Pacific Southern Branch
company, the stock of which Lyon coun-
ty holds to the amount of 100000. had
stock liabilities aggregating 81, 900
and assets consisting of ], 900 acres
of government land, valued at $3.50 per
acre, or $3.500000. and 5000, 900 in the
bonds OF Davis, (nOw Geary), Morris
and Lyon counties. 1t also had the right
of way along the Neosho valley and be-
yond, from Junction City to the state
line, also franchises and right of way
through the Cherokee Strip. Said fran
chises said to be worth a million and
half. These assets were conditional
upon the construction of a railroad
along this line. The Union Pacific South
ern Branch company then made a con-
tract with a construction company,
claiming to be Incorporated under the
laws of PennSylVania-and thereby
hangs tale-to build a railway along
the line indicated, for the aforesaid Z.
z. S. B. company, for the land grant
and the county bonds before mentioned
and possibly for some of the stock, which
about this time was increased from the
one million dollars originally authorized
to the sum mentioned above. The NJ.
K. & T., am informed, derives all it's
rights from this so-called Land Grant,
Railway and Trust company. In fact,
so far as this branch road is concerned,
is this bogus concern under another
name.
Another phase of this matter is this:
The law, which authorized the exchange
of U. P. S. B. stock-never carried out
by Lyon county-for NJ. K. & T. stock
specified preferred stock, not common,
the equivalent. This preferred stock is
guaranteed by the NJ. K. Sc T. company

TO MAKE BINDING TWLNE.
Legislative Committee Sent to Still

EavorablY.

The legislative committee which in
spected the Irvine manufacturing plant
in the state penitentiary at Saltwater
Mimi, returned to Topeka today and
made a favorable report to the leg1S-
Iature this afternoon.
Senator HesSin was chairman of the
committee and made the report.
The members of the committee are
glad to get back to Kansas, as the Their
mometer registered AZ below when they
left Stillwater-so they say.
The committee makes the following
recommendations:
That ap liant for the manufacture of
binding Irvine be established at the
Kansas pententiary with a capacity of
10000 pounds daily, working ten hours,
to employ rs men.
That an appropriation of $4,000 be
made to purchase the machinery.
That an appropriation OF $150,0O0 be
made for the purchase of raw material
to be used in making the Irvine.
The minimum profit to the state from
imum is $S7, 900. The profits for 1897
were $43, 600.
In addition to this profit there has
been covered into the treasury for the
maintenance of the institution so cents
per day for each prisoner employed in
making Irvine. The plant produced $780,
900 pounds of Irvine in 1898.
When binding Irvine went up last
summer during the war, the farmers of
Minnesota sent 1, 200 orders to the pen
itentiary in a single day. The institution
first sold Irvine direct to consumer, but
now disposes of the product through
local dealers.
The warden of the Minnesota peniten-
tiary recommends the plan of working
through local dealers, as the farmer

Its Pressed Brick Proved Superior to
st. Louis Brick In q Test

Coffeyvil1e, Feb. 1O-w A AIyrick of
Coffeyville, has just returned from
Springfield, Mo, where he has finished
up a street paving contract He has
just obtained for the Coffeyville Brick
and Tile company a contract to furnish
SOC, 900 building brick to be used at
Springfield in building a fine hospital
for the Frisco Railway company. He
had as a sharp competitor the st Louis
Dry Pressed Brick company and the
bids for the brick were the same.
The st. Louis man proposed that the
bricks be submitted to the crushing
test and the best brick to take the
contract. Mr.. Myrick agreed and the
result was that while the ST. Louis
brick sustained an average pressure of
about so tons, the Coffeyvil1e brick sus-
tained a pressure Of over 100 tons.
