The Helpful Hen and the Hog.

f. d. COburn, secretary of the
Kansas state board Of agriculture,
has forwarded a limited number OF
the quarterly and biennial reports of
the board TO County Clerk Wood for
distribution among the farmers, and
Others desiring them. These reports
are sent free to all who apply for
them. They are classified and issued
under separate covers, each book
being devoted exclusively to some
subject pertaining to agriculture and
the farm.
They are valuable books both from
literary and agricultural point of
view, as well as furnishing invaluable
statistics. COburn is to the agricul-
tural interests of Kansas what Tom
Richardson Is to the commercial
interests of Texas: he is always shout
ing the praises of the helpful ben, the
hog, the beef steer and his sister. He
devotes considerable study to the
culture Of wheat, corn and alfalfa
raising and irrigation. Nothing that
pertains to the welfare of the agricul-
tural classes of Kansas is overlooked
by Coburn. He is equally interested
In subsoiling, pork raising, crop sta
tistics and mining in Kansas. Fol-
that reason he is the most valuable
man 10 the service of the state, and
when the people become better
acquainted with COburn and the
nature of his work, his reports will
be as greatly sought after as the works
of the best authors.
Coburn has a style Of writing pecu-
liarly his own, that is the equal OF
ingalls, writings. His reports are
prepared by himself, and the intro
ductories contain rare gems of litera.
ture and many beautiful thoughts
His happy style Of writing is noticea

titions for the salvation of the betroth-
led couple for the blessings of offspring
and peaceful, mutual affection. The
priest then took the rings he had re-
ceived from the bride and groom. With
the gold one, representing the domina-
ton of the groom, three crosses above
the groom's head were made, and then
it was slipped upon the fourth finger of
the groom's hand. Similar details were
gone through with the silver ring and
the bride.
After this, Horone Palmer, proxy for
Grand Duke Cyril of Russia, acting as
best man or sponsor for the prince,
stepped forward and transposed the
rings three times, finally leaving the
gold ring on the brides finger and the
silver one on the groom's, these rings
being given in token of the lifelong
union into which they were entering.

The exchanges of the sponsor indicat-

closed by the prayer that the Lord may
establish these espousals in the faith,

bless from heaven the putting on of
rings.
Next came the rite of marriage. The
couple approached toward the lectern.

priest inquired of them if they had

to contract the conjugal union with
each other, and whether they had
promised to contract the union with
any one else. These questions properly
answered, the priest asked blessing
upon the couple. The priest then crown
ed the prince and then the princess.
A cup of wine was brought and bless

nately three times each. The priest then
took them by the hands and led them

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.

London, Sept. 24.-Last weeks dealings
on the stock exchange were confined prin-

prices showed an almost general decline.
Since Fridays cabinet meeting. however,
the peace feeling has been more hopeful.
and the general belief is now that no pre-
cipitate action will be taken in the Trans
vaal and an amicable solution will be
eventually reached.
If this expectation is realized, a sharp
upturn movement is certain, as there is
a large amount OF money awaiting invest
ment as soon as the war clouds roll by.
