carnival, and the social gatherings
which follow are society events only
in name, being occasions for the most
trying kind of work.
This year the corn carnival will be
much more elaborate than any pre-
vious ey y>nt. and the town will be al
most literally hidden in corn decora-
tions. Even the old town cannon,
which has been allowed to stand neg
lected and rusting for so years, has
been resurrected and repaired and will
appear in the parade. completely clad
in cornhusk flowers.
Many of the towns in northern Kan
sas will have features in the corn car
nival parade, which will be fully two
miles long. The expense of the corn
carnival is always very light At the
last carnival $1,000 was subscribed
and $500 of the amount remained un-
used. The material for the decora-
tions cost practically nothing, and the
work of making it up into features is
a labor Of love for the thousands of
hands who engage in it.
e. w. Howe, the originator and con-
trolling genius of the corn carnival,
is the editor of the Atchison Globe
and author of THE Story of a Country
Town 1t is Mr.. Howe's wonderful
originality that makes the corn carni-
val success. Mr.. Howe is band
crank, and Il feature of the corn car
nival every year is band of $50
pieces, composed of almost every good
brass player in the west. The bands
from all the smaller towns come free
of charge. but their expenses are borne
by the citizens of Atchison. This
makes the corn carnival an occasion
for big consen ion of musicians.

A Curious Looking Exx.

A sharks egg is one of the most odd
looking things imaginable and has no
more resemblance TO an egg. strictly
speaking. than it has to paving stone.
In one variety it is pillow shaped and
has long horn or ''feeler," at each
corner Ii is about two inches long
and the color almost pure black.
1t is unprovided with shell, as we
understand that word. but the contents
are protected by thick, leathery COW
ering, which has almost as much elas-
ticity about it as Il covering of rubber
would have.
The "feelers' mentioned catch hold
of and wind themselves around pieces
of seaweed and other floating objects
and hang until the egg is hatched.
One variety of the shark lays Is eggs
durin" the month of April. These float
about until early in December, when
the little sharks emerge.

Soldering Glass.

Margot. in some interesting investi-
cations in soldering glass. has establish
ed the fact that an alloy composed of 95
parts of tin and parts of zinc will melt
at about 392 degrees Fahrenheit. Be-
coming firmly adherent to the glass, it
is unalterable and exhibits an attractive
luster. An alloy containing 80 parts of
tin and 10 parts of aluminium will melt
at 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and also
forms a strong and brilliant solder for
glass. With these two alloys always
ready TO hand, glass may be soldered as
easily as two pieces of metal. When
the glass is heated in furnace. the SOL
dering can be accomplished by rubbing
the surface with rod of either of the
compositions named. The alloy as it
flows can be evenly distributed with
soldering iron.-St. Louis Post Dis

muscular Power. of a Beetle.

The following anecdote of three
horned beetle will give some idea of its
vast strength of body. A beetle was
brought in, and, there being no box at
hand in which to put it. it was clapped
under quart bottle of milk. which
happened to be upon the table, the hol-
low at the bottom of the bottle allowing
the insect to stand upright.
Presently the bottle began to move
slowly and glide along the smooth ta-
BILE, propelled by the muscular power Of
the imprisoned beetle, and continued
its travels fer some time. to the aston
ishment of all who witnessed it. The
weight of the bottle and its contents
could not have been less than three
pounds and half. while that of the
beetle was about half an ounce So that
it readily moved weight 112 times
greater than its own
A better notion than figures can con-
vey will be obtained of this feat by sup
posing a lad of Is to be imprisoned
under a great bell weighing 12. 900
pounds and to move it to and fro upon

3 Dog Story by Pepys.

The following story of dog of the
restoration has been taken from the vo-
racious Pepys under the date Sept II.
1861 ''To DR.. Williams, who did carry
me into his garden. where he hath
abundance of grapes and he did show
me how dog that he hath do kill all
the cats that come hither to kill his
pigeons, and do afterward bury them;
and do it with SO much care that they
shall be quite covered. that if the tip
of the tail hangs out he will take up
the cat again. and dig the hole deeper.
Which is very strange; and he tells me
that he do believe that he hath killed
above a hundred cats. -

The Diet of the consumptire.

DR.. Cutter of New York. one of the
editors of The Dietetic and Hygienic
Gazette. declares the most important
part of the treatment ef tuberculosis
patients is the diet. 1t should, he says,
consist largely of animal foods. OF
these, eggs and milk should preponder-
ate. Eggs are best given raw when the
patient can take then thus. The albu-
men Of the egg is similar to blood albu-
men and is digested, or rather. absorb
ed. into the blood without undergoing
an elaborate digestive process The
white of the egg, mixed with water, is
often tolerated when the yolk cannot be
borne by the stomach. Bone marrow of
the OK he regards as of greater value
than cod liver oil. Good butter may be
used freely and should be spread thick
ly on thin slices Of bread. Heavy meals
are to be avoided The patient should
take small quantities of food between
meals.

husks color easily and are very pliable,
holding their shape even better than
the costly imported tissue paper made
tor the purpose. OF the thousands of
people who attend the corn carnival it
would be safe to say that hardly one
of the visitors comes without wearing
some creation in corn. cornhusk or
cornstaik. The citizens of Atchison
commence making corn decorations
fully two months before the carnival.
Nearly every woman in town assists,
and society. instead of giving pink
teas. is engaged with flower making
parties. at which cornhusk flowers and
other corn decorations are made. Wo-
men decorate their carriages with the
flowers aud put them in the parade

riding in them. Society proper is

THE WoRD BLIZZARD.
Said to Have Heen Used In South Da-
kota In the Sixties.

kOta In the Sixties.
A well known book of reference
states that the Chicago Advance was
the originator of the word blizzard"
on the Sth of january, 1880. Old TIM
ers in South Dakota take exception 10
the statement. A story is told by the
editor of the Hutchinson County Her
aid, who commenced his newspaper
work on the Dakota Republican, at
vermillion, in August, 1867.
The Peake family. Swiss bell ringers,
arrived in Vermillion by stage, and
William Peake, manager of the bell
ringers, said to party OF friends, Il
would like to see one of your blizZards
Il have heard so much about" Mr.. True
answered: "AIl right. We will order
one for your special benefit and have
Ii here when you come back through
here from Yankton."
After showing three nights in Yank-
ton the troupe started homeward to
Sioux City, Mr.. Peake being on the
outside of the stage with the driver.
The morning was warm and balmy.
Mr.. Peake was aSton1shed at the ac-
tions of the driver, who suddenly whip
ped up and asked what the matter
was. T C. Williams, who was driy-
ing. answered that he was afraid Mr..
True's order was going to be little
ahead of time. Look to the north
west" said he. There was the blizzard
approaching in all its fury. In almost
minute the binding snow was being
whirled through the air, and Mr..
Peake withdrew to the inner part of
the stage. 1t was one of the most ter
rife storms known to the territory,
which is saying considerable. The
Peake troupe was compelled to wait
several days at Vermillion until Mr..
True's blizzard had blown itself out
