waiting for an hour for the others to ap-

FARMERS FEELING BETTER.

The late shower has freshened the
earth. Potatoes and corn are looking

better and where the meadows were not
burned too much, the prospects for
timothy and red top grass ia still very
fair, since the rain both have greatly Inn
proved. Considerable grass has been
cut the past week but since the rain the
hurry Is over. Most farmers will wait
week for better growth and finish up
hoeing and putting in sowed corn. Buck
wheat is quick crop to grow and must
be sowed the fore part of the month.

Insanity's Debt to Medical Science.

Insanity is now recognized as a dis
ease which is the result of some func-
tional or organic disturbance of the
brain or of some injury or malformation
of that organ. Be it said to the ever
lasting credit of medical science that it
has rescued the whole subject of the dis
eases of the brain and nervous system
from the region of myth and superstition
and placed it on scientific plane along
with the other diseases and injuries to
which human flesh is heir
The old lunatic asylums and the filthy
cells of the county jails with all their
horrors where the victims of dethroned
reason used to be confined and tortured
have been abolished and in their place
we now have the modern hospital for
the insane, and it stands on the same
footing in every respect as hospital
for diseases of the eye and ear or any
other medical speciality. 1t was not the
churches, but medical science, inspired
by desire to benefit mankind, which
taught the world that the insane are
our brothers still and that to them is
due the same Christian charity and care
as to any others in distress. DIR. John
Girdner in North American Review.

A Bit of Ribbon.

A London paper tells this story of the
final signing of the Spanish-Americar
peace treaty: Every diplomatic instru-
ment bears seal from which depends a
ribbon, and when the seal was about tC
be affixed to the treaty the commission
ers, both of Spain and America, ex-
pressed a desire, in graceful acknowl-
edgment of the courtesy shown by
France, that the dependent ribbon
should be tricolored. Search was forth.
with made high and low in the Quai
d Orsay, with the result that in the for.
eign Office of the French republic not a
bit of ribbon of the French colors could
be found.
''At this critical juncture brilliant
inspiration flashed across one of the
heads of the department. Go. he said
to a messenger, to NJ. Z, the con
fectioner, in the Rue st. Honore, for a
pound of chocolate cakes and be sure
you ask him to tie them up with tri-
color ribbon. With that bit of confec-
toners ribbon the treaty of peace be-
tween Spain and the United States was
sealed -

THE SMALLEST RAILWAY.

1t Is II Delight to the Youn'.'tcrs,
East md West. Who Have Seen II.
The most attractive feature at COncy
Island this summer to the children was
the novel miniature railroad They
swarmed about it, Their old time JOYS,
the merry go rounds, roller coasters and
shooting shoots, were neglected for this
new amusement, which has interested
their elders as well. Its success has been
repeated at the Transmississippi expo
sition at Omaha, where it has been
quite deliberately reproduced and the
western youngsters are reported to he
reveling in its delights with as much
zeSt as their eastern cousins.
AT Coney Island the railroad is laid
out under the old iron pier, and the
tracks are 500 feet long. The train
traverses this distance at speed of 20
miles an hour, and it is said that it has
already covered mahy times over dis
lance equal to a journey to the Klon
dixie goldfields.
The engine, which is as complete in
every detail as those drawing trains
bearing hundreds of passengers, is only
% inches in height, about 10 inches
wide and measures 4 y feet from end
to end. 1t is substantial affair, in
spite Of it's diminutive appearance, for
it weighs $50 pounds, draws train of

A MilliOnth of n Second.

A second seems about as short space
of time as one would ever need to meas
ure, but for scientific purposes instru-
ments have been invented marking even
markable of these is "chronograph"

one-millionth part of a second. The in
strument is necessarily very complicated,
but the vibrations Of very sensitive

transmitted to piece of sensitized pa
